Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Private Tour - Meet at the Park

Aloha! My name is Ellen, a proud resident of the Big Island of Hawaii for 33 years. I have been a guide since 2013 and enjoyed every single day doing this job. My connection to this island is so diverse. From living through the ending stage of the sugar plantations in Hamakua, to having 3 beautiful children, born and raised in Hilo, as a previous small business operator (restaurant, 20+years), and as a surfer. I wake up everyday and hit the surf in the morning and what I see never fails to amaze me each and every time. From our mountains, to the rainbows, the waves, the jumping fish, and experiencing the raw power of nature through the waves I chase and ride. What could be a better way to explore and experience this island than your own private tour, just for you, or with your whole entire family and friends. The ability and flexibility to customize or modify your adventure to your taste, to the one on one attention you get with your guide. The knowledge of a local tour guide like myself far extends my ability to inform and educate about the sights you see. My genuine love and appreciation of the place I have called home for the last three decades of my life would speak for itself. I've not only embraced it, but I live it, this amazing Island of mixed cultures that harmoniously co-exist for centuries. My tours are ideal whether your coming off a plane, staying at a local hotel or bnb's, or off a cruise ship. I have 2 vehicles I operate. Currently a 2016 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite, and a custom 2015 Ram 2500 14 passenger (hi top) van.
