We had a great day with Scott! He was very knowledgeable about the different eco climates of Hawaii, the volcanoes, the lava tubes and waterfalls!

Highlight of our trip. Scott was amazing. His knowledge of the geography and history of Volcanos was simply amazing. We learned so much and saw waterfalls, walked through volcano tubes and saw the black sand beach amongst other sights. This is a must go to tour. Also it was a private tour only myself and my wife

Scott is very fun, passionate and knowledgeable about all things volcano and HI! It was great to be on a small group excursion rather than on a tour bus.
