We had an amazing day with Shawn. We enjoyed a great stop at the Punalu'u Bake Shop for delicious malasadas and to order our lunch. Next we stopped to enjoy the black sand beach and watch some turtles. The highlight for us was spending the rest of the day at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Shawn was a great guide making several stops to check out specific features like the steam vents and the partially covered old Chain of Craters Road and providing lots of great information about what we were seeing. He led us on an enjoyable hike that suited our entire group which was something we particularly wanted to do. It was great being with someone who could answer our questions about the Park as well as fit in well with our group (not an easy task!). Our dinner overlooking the crater was delicious and the photos Shawn took during the day were great additions to our own. This day was well worth it and highly recommended!
