Hidden Craters Hike

Literally one of the coolest experiences ever! Would definitely do either exodus with Hawaii Forest and Trail - our guide Taj was the best! I appreciated the indepth discussion about plant and animal species, history, and Hawaiian culture that helped us appreciate and understand so much on the rest of our time in the big island. This exclusive hike was beautiful and the portion at the cave was unforgettable. Do note that parts of the hike downhill can be tricky to keep your footing, so wear proper shoes and watch your step. Can't recommend this tour enough.

Gary was an amazing guide!! We had a blast. It was a bit more rigorous than we anticipated, but they supplied plenty of water, snacks and breaks. The views were breathtaking and the geological history is phenomenally demonstrated through stories and vistas. Our guide said very few locals even get to see these views. Highly recommend😆😆

We had a great experience! Small group with a really cool guide from Missouri. He knew the area and history very well. There is some hiking involved but it's pretty low-impact. Would highly recommend!

Great Tour with lots of interesting facts and sights to see. Justin our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time! I can't wait to go back to Kona again and take another tour with this company!! I would highly recommend this tour!

This was terrific! We had originally booked a half day trip, but Donna actually phoned me in Spain from Las Vegas to tell me that the tour was now a full day, but that Viator would make up the difference in cost, if we still wanted to take it, as it wasn't on the original day, then called me back to confirm! We did take it, and the company collected us from our hotel, which we had not expected, and took us to their office, where we picked up the off-road vehicle. The driver, Danny, was Hawaiian, and told us lots of stories about Hawaii and the various lava flows. He took us through gates to where no private cars or tour buses could go and we saw ancient craters and lava tubes. We then went to a coffee plantation, where there was plenty of coffee on offer (I don't drink coffee, but never mind!) and a nice picnic lunch was provided. Again, we had not expected this. We were shown coffee trees and how they grow, and how the coffee was extracted from the beans. We also saw a beautiful chameleon living in one of the trees. The jeep we travelled in was not too uncomfortable-I had been worried about spending all day in it, but provided you held on tight to the safety straps, it was fine. Then we were taken back to our hotel when we returned to the office. Great tour, highly recommended.

Eugene was great! He was very knowledgable. We would take this tour all over again.

The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. I would have liked to have spent a little more time on the vehicle as it was a fun thing to ride around on. Great tour..but a little pricey.
