Top Hawaii Day Trips

One of my favorite activities on our vacation! Incredible views on the summit that you truly cannot find anywhere else. It was definitely cold so pack layers. They do provide a parka which helped keep me warm, but I wish I brought a beanie and a thicker jacket. Our tour guides were amazing providing endless amounts of information on the island, volcano, space, etc. Seeing the stars in the sky were beautiful plus the additional objects in the telescope were out of this world! THIS IS A MUST DO!!!! Worth the money!

Very professional Dom our tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and drove in such a way you won’t get motion sickness Wished there were 2 things different 1. Sandwiches though advertised appropriately I would have liked to purchase my own food by roadside not only to add Hawaiian experience but there’s nothing like eating food that’s been just cooked and support in g local economy. I eat sandwiches daily so it didn’t work well for me. Lastly though Dom was incredibly knowledgeable I felt we needed times of silence occasionally to enjoy the passing scenarios. Would I do it again? Possibly because Dom helped us a lot including photos and how to use our phones to bring better pictures

We were picked up at our hotel at 6 am and didn't return until 6 pm. We stopped many times at bathroom facilities. Bring your breakfast; one of the first stops is a nice place to eat. Our tour guide, Chris, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and stopped at numerous places to take photos, have a great lunch (sandwiches, water) and swim in turquoise waters. Know that you'll be in the mini-van for a good part of the day and getting in and out many times. We stopped at waterfalls, black sand beaches and lookouts during the day. He pointed out all the sights at each stop. There are snacks on the way back. I do recommend you bring a water bottle with you to drink while in the van. Do not attempt to drive the road to Hana yourself. It is a twisting, winding, mountainous road with many one-land bridges. Fabulous excursion! Since this is a long day, I recommend you eat dinner at your hotel afterwards!
