I booked this tour online from the UK. The booking and tour was problem free and excellent value for money.
A very professional company and an excellent tour guide John made this a day to remember.

Thank you John.

More than just Lava, August 24, 2010
Reviewer: Cindy Haralson from Ketucky USA

2 of 2 people found this review helpful

Before going on this tour I researched a lot of other companies and chose this one because of what others were saying. We had Tony as our tour guide and he made our tour. Very friendly and he knows just about everything about Hawaii you could imagine. He showed us all the attractions listed and
even some that weren't like a Mac nut farm.

The tour was amazing, we saw so much of the surrounding area and really got a "local" feel. Never once did I feel like a tourist being herded around like animals, Tony made sure that we were his "family" and took special care
of us all. The only downside of the day is that I forgot to pack walking shoes. When we got to the lava viewing area there are a lot of sharp and loose rocks, shoes would have saved me some cuts and scrapes. Thank you again Tony for a great day!

One Day Big Island Volcano Evening Eco Tour, August 22, 2010
Reviewer: Nebraska, USA from Arnold Carvey

1 of 1 people found this review helpful

Overall, this tour was great! A long day, a lot to see, but well worth the time and money. I booked this tour because I only had a few days in Hawaii and I don't know when I'll ever be back and seeing the volcano was on the
top of my list. The tour was awesome, the company picked me up from my hotel bright and early and showed me a day on the Big Island that I will always remember.

The only bad thing about my day was that my camera battery died right as we reached Kalapana for the evening lava viewing. Luckily I made some friends from the tour and they were able to email theirs. Thank you again for a
great day and thank you Tom and Julie for the pics!

This was our first time to Hawaii and this tour made it something special. We got to see lava and an active volcano. There were also many other magnificent sites that we got to see while we were on the big island.

25th Wedding Anniversary, May 14, 2010
Reviewer: Robert from Pasadena, Texas

This review could be a book! Shortened version ... The tour company took us, on time, to the airport where our flight passes were waiting and we departed for Hilo and were greeted on arrival by our good friend Phoenix. We spent the day seeing lovely sights of the town and the surrounding attractions. After a rather good lunch, we were treated to a winery visit which my wife loved. A thumbs up to Phoenix for getting us to a wonderful photo location for us at 2PM (Phoenix knows why) at the crater. Thanks to the gent from New Zealand for the photo. The National Park visit and subsequent walks on the lava and views of the live lava provided us memories that we will talk about for quite awhile. The flight back to Oahu was flawless also and we were taken back to our hotels without delay after arrival. A long, long day!!! Worth every minute. Thank you Phoenix, for your tireless effort to make our day memorable. We loved our group. Two couples from the USA, two from Australia and one from New Zealand. We made some good friends this day. Cheers!!!

One-Day Hawaii Volcano Evening Eco-Tour, May 07, 2010
Reviewer: David Schneebeli from Adelaide Australia

8 of 10 people found this review helpful

The tour was fantastic. It all went smoothly from the pick up to the drop off at the hotel. The airline had our tickets and no hassles there. The tour guide/driver knowledgeable, funny but also happy for us to enjoy the view with no commentary. We saw all the volcano aspects from the lava tubes to the actual lava flow. If anyone ask me should they consider it, I would say yes but be prepared it is a long day from pick up in Waikiki back to your hotel

This volcano tour was the second tour that I have done with your company. The driver that took me to the airport was the same driver on my other tour. I felt so lucky to get to see him again. The guide on the big island was also really great and he made sure that our whole day was great.

We went to the Big Island from Oahu on May 9th and Kamike (sp) was our guide. We could not have asked for a better day. It was an awesome time. He was so informed and friendly and the tour took us to see everything we wanted to see. I would not take a tour with anyone else. It was the best. Kamike made each and every one of us feel like we were part of his family and when we left, it was like leaving home. Thanks for your great tour. I will recommend you to anyone I know is coming here.

Reviewer: Doug C from Vegas

We went to the Big Island with this tour and saw really cool lava flows, craters, smoke, and black sand beaches. It is a really crazy feeling to be walking around on a live volcano!

Try it out for yourself.

Big Island natural wonders, May 28, 2009
Reviewer: Phil and Sandra from Chicago, IL

8 of 9 people found this review helpful

Whoa, the Big Island is amazing! We had been to Oahu and Maui before, but never the Big Island until we took this tour, and it was really cool.

Discover Hawaii took us around to all these great natural sights we wouldn't have found on our own, like waterfalls and lava flows.

Spending one day to explore the Big Island was well worth it!

Outstanding day!, May 14, 2009
Reviewer: William & Betty K from Dallas, TX

10 of 13 people found this review helpful

We spent countless hours researching the different tour companies that offered a tour of the volcano & we were very pleased with your tour! Even though it was a long day, it was well worth the time and price. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Our tour guide was Tony and he was much more than we had ever expected. His wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of the Big Island was amazing! We were able to take pictures that were just breathtaking. Best of all was that with each picture, we have a special story that Tony shared with us. Our friends were very jealous when they saw the pictures and heard the stories. Thank you for memorable day!

Wow! My wife and I had such a great time with cousin Joe! He was the best tour guide we have ever had and was an extremely safe driver. Joe took us to an amazing hike at volcano park and even stopped by the black sand beaches in Kalapana, it was fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour to all!

Oahu’s one day Hawaii Volcano tour to Big Island Hawaii featuring the Kilauea Volcano and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park


Come with us to The Big Island of Hawaii and experience the ultimate fusion of fire and water on this thrilling eco excursion to the world’s most active volcano!

This exciting tour offers guests the opportunity to explore the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Here, try and keep your jaw off the ground as you peer over the edge of the Halema`uma`u Crater. Witness firsthand the destructive power of Mother Nature as steam vents eerily expel volcanic fumes while active lava flows into the adjacent ocean. Additionally, by choosing Discover Hidden Hawaii tours as your Big Island tour provider, you will have a unique opportunity to view the lava flow later into the evening. The encroaching twilight makes the glowing lava even more visible; an experience offered by very few of the major inter island tour companies.

Your volcano eco-tour also includes stops at many of the Big Island's less destructive natural attractions. Take the opportunity and explore tropical Hawaiian rainforests, historic Hilo Bay, various unique black sand beaches, and of course the awe-inspiring waters of Rainbow Falls.

On this fabulous evening tour, your guide will take you to the magnificent Kalapana lava viewing area, giving you a chance to experience historic levels of lava activity. Recently, our tour groups have been reporting record breaking activity from this awe striking crater. As a passenger with us on tour 33, we can assure you the best possible opportunity to see one of the most amazing displays in the natural world.

No Hawaiian vacation is truly complete without taking a day to see the spectacular lava flows on the island of Hawaii. With transportation from Waikiki and roundtrip airfare included in the listed price, this tour is an incredible value. Witness nature’s majesty, book this eco tour with us today and ensure you make the most of your time in Hawaii!

Tour Notes

When flowing, lava can be often be seen day or night. Due to flight departure times from Hilo, visits to the lava viewing area regularly conclude at approximately 7pm. If you desire to see lava at night, please be sure to check the time of predicted sunset during the season in which you are planning to visit to determine darkness for lava viewing. Because of the ever-changing intensity and course of lava activity, viewing areas are subject to change as deemed necessary by Hawaii Civil Defense.

Persons with breathing and heart difficulties, pregnant women, infants, and young children are especially at risk should consult a health care professional before taking this tour to avoid potential health problems from exposure to fumes. All passengers are required to sign a release of liability form.

Currently Civil Defense has closed the Kalapana viewing area during the day. Nature changes so the lava flows, viewing location, and the tour will change accordingly.
