Amazing day!! - What we an amazing day!! We booked the Fire and Water tour. My husband and I had been to Kona several times before but were never able to make it to the volcano. Since that was our priority this trip, we reached out to Shawn for a private guided tour. We cannot say enough anazing things about him or our day. We were incredibly lucky in that the volcano has been erupting periodically for the last several months and there was a possibility that it might erupt during our visit. Shawn knew this was what we were hoping and so even before our tour day he was in contact with us. He had been following the volcano’s activity online to try to determine what day he thought we might have the best chance of seeing the volcano erupt. After picking us up from our hotel we visited several beautiful waterfalls. Shawn was incredibly knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna, the history of the island as well as all the volcanoes ( not just the one we were going to see). After the waterfalls we enjoyed a nice lunch and then headed to Volcanoes National Park . We toured the park with Shawn who showed us the highlights one of which was the vent where the volcano had been erupting .When we got to the park the volcano was only letting off gases. We continued through the park stopping at other points of interest and spending as much time at each spot as we wanted. Shawn had bookecd a table for dinner at the Volcano House which overlooks the volcano. We arrived at dinner only to discover that just at that moment the volcano began to erupt. It started out slowly and then over time was an incredible sight -a fountain of lava spewing 600 ft into the air. We ate dinner watching this spectacular sight right in front of us. After dinner Shawn took us to another amazing spot to view the eruption. It really was just so unbelievable to see. On top of all that , Shawn had everything organized for us and the day-snacks, warm jackets for the evening and headlamps. And on top of everything he memorialized the day in photos.Honestly it was just a magical day and Shawn is just fantastic!!
