Private Guide Meet In Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Big Island of Hawaii, Guam
The price listed is for the entire van for up to 10 people. We live in Volcano and we are both National Park Certified Interpretive Guides so you are getting the best experience. Out of the 3 1/3 hours we are driving for only about 50-55 minutes.
We created this activity to make learning about volcanoes budget and family-friendly. There is so much to learn in the Park and so much to see it would be difficult to know how to prioritize if you are on your own. Ride along in our Mercedes van and see video footage of past eruptions. This tour is customized to your and your group's interests. There are easy hikes and more difficult hikes, there is a lot to see and do if you have a little help with your options.
Give you and your family an exciting experience you will remember and get more out of the National Park than you would if you were on your own!
* Dresscode: LAYERS and raincoats, mountain weather can change 20 degrees in 1 morning. You need to be on time, we can't give extra time.*
