Review of Hilo’s Volcanoes National Park shore tour, with steam vents, lava tubes, black sand, turtles, macadamia treats, and port pickup.

“Fun and informative tour. Unfortunately, due to the volcanic activity in the park the day before we arrived, some parts of tour could not be done (walk thru the lava tube was closed) but Geo, our guide, still did as much as possible and even took pictures of the tour group at the entrance sign of the Vocano National Park and emailed them to us. Husband and I had a great time”
