Fun way to see the island w/o a car - 10/10 tour. Especially if you're staying at one of the resorts like we were, I definitely recommend taking a day to go on this tour to see the rest of the island. The rest of the island is a totally different experience from the resort area due to the many microclimates. Scott knows the island really well and is energetic, funny, and down to earth. Pick up and drop off were easy from our resort. The included wraps for lunch were good and I appreciated the efficiency of eating on the go. Not much hiking, but good if you're not looking for something strenuous. I recommend booking directly through the website thevolcanovan.com.

A perfect day to explore - Scott was beyond amazing. Super knowledgeable and friendly. The falls, beaches, volcano and tube walk were all perfect. We had a lovely wrap lunch included with snacks with water/juice. A great way to see the island and its 10 microclimates.

Scott is the GOAT!!! - Cannot say enough good things abut our trip last month! There was an accident on the highway making our pick up almost 2 hours later than planned. Instead of canceling on us, Scott sat in traffic forever to get to us because it was our last day in Hawaii. Despite the delay in starting our day, we were able to see so many things and learn so much about the Big Island and its volcanoes, lava flows, waterfalls, farms, plants, and so much more! Highly recommend!!

Do it! - A great, all-day tour of the island and its best volcanic features. Scott was super knowledgeable about everything, and even gave us tips to best see the Kilauea eruption that happened a couple of days after our tour.

Volcano Van private tour - Really excellent way to see the key sights on the big island. Scott was an awesome guide and after booking a small group tour we (my husband and I) were lucky enough to be the only guests that day. His knowledge and background provided throughout the tour made it incredible. It’s a long tour day and might seem expensive but it was well worth it. Highly recommend Volcano Van (Volcano Man)

Best tour - 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

Tour of the Big Island and Volcano National Park - 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.
