We had an amazing time touring Volcano National Park with Rob. Splurging on this VIP experience was well worth it for our group of 8. Rob was full of information at every stop. Many times we even noticed visitors (not part of our tour) stopping to listen. Rob was incredibly patient, while making sure we kept a good pace ensuring we got to see as much as time would allow. The videos were also

I searched for a while for tours departing from Kona to Volcanoes National Park and kept coming back to Big Island VIP. After emailing with Jodi and having our questions answered, we booked with them. Zero regrets. Rob, our guide was punctual, friendly and totally knowledgeable about all aspects of the island and the volcanoes. He took us to various places in the park as well as places off the beaten track. Myself and my family learned so much from Rob. The van was comfortable and the company provided snacks, water and informational videos for the ride. In addition to the park, Rob recommended a place for lunch and took us to Rainbow falls and the Hilo farmers market. Rob and Jodi also provided us with invaluable tips for the rest of our vacation. This was undoubtedly one of the best tours I have ever been on in any country. I know it may seem pricey, but trust me -- you get what you pay for. 100% worth it.
