About
We know, we're called The Volcano Van because our specialty are the volcanoes of the Big Island of Hawai'i. However, the Big Island does offer plenty of beautiful sights to see other then just volcanoes. Perhaps you want to us to apply our personal approach to site seeing to a different area of the Big Island. Maybe you want to spend an entire day looking at water falls, or a long day hike through Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Your choices are practically endless. From coffee farms, to macadamia nut plantations, whatever your interest, we're sure the Big Island has it.
This tour is entirely private. When you book, you're booking us and our van for the entire day for just you, and your family. As long as the number in group is between 1 and 5, we're able to accommodate. We know this description is small compared to our other tours, but don't confuse this with being a small tour. In fact, this tour is a big as you want it to be. All you need to do is think of what you want to see, decide, and we'll do the guide.
