    Mike was really engaging and thoughtful and did such a great job of sparking curiosity in our 5 year old who had a blast. Highly recommend.

    My daughter loved doing the walks and having everything being explained rather than being shown photos. I really enjoyed seeing the lava stream caves and seeing how the lava did flow, very interesting tour. Lovely guide and he knew heaps of information to explain how volcanos work

    Lovely to have young people along. Cheers
