Excellent private tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic day on the Big Island. We learned about history, geography, culture and much more. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tour guide. Time and money well invested; it is still one of the best experiences we’ve ever had on any vacation.

Highlight of our weekend on the Big Island! We absolutely loved doing this tour and would recommend it to ANYONE who wants to do an experience of the island of Hawaii. Our guide Scott was brilliant – super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable about the history and area. We love you Hawaii!

5 of us had our vacation on the Big Island in 2022. This is our 2nd time in Hawaii, with Oahu as our first island visit in 2017. This was indeed a memorable trip and a great bonding time with our kids. And this was made possible because of the assistance of Scott from Lava Guides who did a great job in arranging our tour of the must-see sights in Hilo, Kalapana, and the Volcano National Park.
