Fantastic! - Scott was an awesome tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and made things fun for the kids. He even took us to his special places within the park and we were able to experience once in a life time memories with our family.

Educational and fun - We had a wonderful time with Scott as our tour guide in the national park. He had very comfortable transportation, and a deep knowledge of the park. There was no question he had a true passion for volcanoes and the island itself. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get a better understanding of this massive national park

Incredible afternoon - Incredible afternoon - Scott’s enthusiasm was catching and his knowledge base was extensive. He turned a potentially lackluster experience (at first glance lava flows look less exciting than the surface of the moon) into a truly dynamic, colorful and exciting experience!

Excellent guide - Scott was the best guide of our one week trip to 3 islands. He was so engaging with both the adults and kids and personalized the excursion precisely to our interests. It was above and beyond our expectations and he was very responsive in the planning process. Highly recommend.

Volcano - Scott was great! It was a 6 am tour so he showed us the red glow, steam vent, and lava tube amount other things. He explained lots and showed us lots of things. We saw the red glow, rainbow, ocean and a helicopter landing and taking off from the old lava field. Great tour!!!! I would highly recommend!!

The way to do Volcanoes Natl Park - Second time doing a tour with Scott. This time spent the entire time at Volcanoes National Park. Scott knows the best places to go and see from his explorations around the volcano. Whenever the next time I go back, will be giving Scott a call again.

Take this tour!!! - Best tour! Private and designed to our requests. 2-3 hrs depending on what all you want to see. Scott knows his stuff! So informative about not only volcanoes but local trees, plants & agriculture. He is kind and funny and transparent - and a Seinfeld fan! - like you’ve known him forever! Mostly driving from place to place with some walking in between - nothing challenging, also based on your abilities . He brought a tripod scope & focused it on bubbling lava - once in a lifetime for us! Ask for suggested directions to meeting point - we didn’t and took the longer way. LOL Absolutely 100% recommend this PERSONALIZED tour!!
