2.Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Experience from Oahu

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $589

Fly from Honolulu to Kona, then explore the Big Island by air-conditioned vehicle with guides such as Henry, Mel, or Mike. Visit Greenwell Farms, Punaluʻu, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, with local stories, volcanic sites, and a flexible private-tour feel.

“First they rescheduled it from 2/12/2024 due to “technical difficulties with the van” to 2/13/2024. Paid for transportation myself from the hotel to the airport and got rescheduled twice for flights and finally after 3 1/2 hours get informed that Kona airport is not accepting any flights as they are fixing the runway. This could have been communicated to 8 individuals early. Very disappointing. Better communication needed.”
