My boyfriend and I have been in Hawaii for over two weeks and done many tours here, but this by far was our favorite one.
DEAR READER- STOP RIGHT NOW! IF YOU ARE ON THE BIG ISLAND- YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS TOUR!!!!! BOOK IT. David was an INCREDIBLE tour guide. My boyfriend and I have been in Hawaii for over two weeks and done many tours here, but this by far was our favorite one. We learned so much. David was so incredibly kind and informative. You could tell he genuinely cares about the volcanos, the island, the people and animals who live here, and the guests on the tour. He took the time to get to know everybody and he was SO GOOD with names and remembering people. He knew amazing details and stories about the island and the volcano and the coffee farm. My boyfriend is absolutely fascinated with volcanos and said it was his “once in a lifetime tour.” It was the perfect amount of guests too. Not too crowded. Amazing stops, each one was worthwhile. And- a very comfortable and clean van. DID YOU BOOK??? DO IT!

We had an amazing experience with Hawaii Geo Tours!
We had an amazing experience with Hawaii Geo Tours! Our guide, David, was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly—you can truly tell he loves what he does. He’s a wealth of information, and even though the tour is long (about 11 hours from pickup to drop-off), everything ran smoothly and was very well organized. David picked us up right from our hotel, and we got to see so much of the Big Island: a local coffee farm, a stunning black sand beach, a delicious lunch at the famous Volcano House, walking through lava tubes, and down to the coast where the road ends due to lava flow. We also stopped at the Big Island Candy Company and finished the day at beautiful Rainbow Falls. It’s a long day, but the trade off was not feeling rushed. Our group included one boy 6 years old who was naturally antsy but thankfully well behaved, so families with young children should consider the long stretches in the van. That said, it was still a wonderful experience. This tour is a must-do if you’re new to the Big Island. It’s an excellent way to see a wide variety of highlights while learning about the island from a true expert.

We went through multiple ecosystems and learned more than I could possibly remember about the geology of the island and the Hawaiian islands in general.
My husband and I took the Volcanoes National Park tour. It stopped at quite a few places along the southern and south-eastern parts of the island as well as allowing you to experience Saddle Pass and views of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. We went through multiple ecosystems and learned more than I could possibly remember about the geology of the island and the Hawaiian islands in general. The trade off is not having time to hike through Volcanoes National Park if you want to do that, but we preferred a chance to witness the diversity we did and not having to drive. We stopped for a good meal that had a vegan option for me (green salad), which our kosher friends were able to eat as well. The coffee we sampled at the Heavenly Hawaiian Kona Coffee farm was fabulous! Our driver David and the people at the coffee farm were kind and extremely knowledgeable. Geo Tours was organized and kind enough to pick us up at the apartment we were renting. All in all a great day!

GEO TOURS was easy to work with, exceptionally attentive response time to communication all questions prior to our trip.
GEO TOURS was easy to work with, exceptionally attentive response time to communication all questions prior to our trip. The cost of ANY tour and ALL tours are high in Hawaii- but for what you receive on this trip I felt that they were priced correctly in their marketplace. We stopped at interesting locations along the way: All of the ones they indicated and nothing felt like a big sales pitch anywhere which was great. If you are traveling with children be aware this is a LONG all day tour. If you're a car-sick kinda person like me - come prepared! I hate being loopy, but that's what I sacrifice to be with our whole group. Take your Bonine people! Our tour guide for our party of nine was Dave. Great guy! Knowledge, kind, engaging and obviously done this sort of thing a lot. I was a bit bummed we didn't get one of the actual geologists (as we were traveling with my brother who IS a geologist and when booking with Erik I mistakening thought he would be our tour guide that day. I knew it wasn't a private tour, and now I kind of wish I would have booked a private tour. We were so fortunate that the family we traveled with had delightful children and easy to combine our group with. What I realize in hindsight, is that it would be worth paying the price for private and having a little more wiggle room for our personal group. We were four adults and five siblings; 20,17,15,11,9. Dave on his own as a travel guide and driver was helpful, efficient, a gracious island host and very easy to be around. He didn't make up anything and was not grandiose; as some guides tend to be know-it-all-junkies. THANKS Dave for your kindness to our whole family. Thank you GEO Tours. The family voted you as their favorite vacation activity.

I would definitely recommend him and his tour for anyone wanting to learn more about volcanoes and local culture as well as Hawaii history!
Erik was very professional, informative and engaging. His use of his education and the former positions he held made him a very credible guide. I would definitely recommend him and his tour for anyone wanting to learn more about volcanoes and local culture as well as Hawaii history!

We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a truly memorable and well-rounded Hawaii experience!
We had a fantastic time on our Hawaii Geo Tour with Eric — even with the rain and crazy fog! Eric kept the experience fun, engaging, and full of incredible information. We also loved so many of his recommendations for places to visit and places to eat; they really helped us make the most of our trip. If you’re worried it’s going to be a “boring rock tour” or involve too much walking, don’t be! The tour is well-paced, exciting, and gives you the chance to see a huge portion of what the island has to offer without feeling overwhelmed. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a truly memorable and well-rounded Hawaii experience! 🌺

Great knowledge of the area and everything about the volcano.
Went on a day tour to volcano with Grant. He had great knowledge of the area and everything about the volcano. It was definitely a 5 star service! One of the best tour I’ve had. Totally worth it.

We enjoyed our lunch at The Rim restaurant at the Volcano House Hotel in Volcanoes National Park (overlooking the Kīlauea crater).
My wife and I took the tour and had a great time! The tour van—which was in excellent condition and had big windows—arrived on time. The tour was well-organized and had a great set of stops. David gave great explanations of everything we were seeing. We had plenty of time at each stop and never felt rushed. We enjoyed our lunch at The Rim restaurant at the Volcano House Hotel in Volcanoes National Park (overlooking the Kīlauea crater). David had earlier given us a number of choices off the menu which he called into the restaurant so our food was ready shortly after we sat down. The cost of the lunch is included in the tour fee. We were lucky that there was visible activity at Kīlauea while we were there. Even during the current period of activity (since 12/2024), not nearly every day has flowing lava like we saw today. The view would still have been pretty great even without that though.

Felt like we saw the best of the island by the time we were finished.
This tour was awesome and the highlight of visit on the Island of Hawaii. Erik gave insights to the island’s geology as we went along the tour, which was very interesting. He also took us to some hidden gems off the typical tour route to see some really beautiful parts of the park. We started the day at a coffee plantation, then a black sand beach, volcano National park, lava tube and the finished the day rainbow falls. Felt like we saw the best of the island by the time we were finished. The hot lunch, snacks, and multiple drink options were a nice touch. Definitely recommend Hawaii Geo Tours.
