Scott W was a great guide. He had extensive knowledge of the volcano and its features. He was able to adapt the tour so that we saw everything and missed the crowds and rainy weather. Would recommend him and his tour. Lynn

Aloha! My name is Scott and I live in the most spectacular place on earth - The Big Island of Hawaii. Experience the 2018 Kilauea eruption in Leilani Estates thru my eyes and experiences. I am one of the residents that did not evacuate the neighborhood, allowing me to experience the raw power of the volcano just feet away. If you are a group of 1 to 4, this is the best way to see the very best on Hawaii Island. Your Private and Personal tours of Hawaii Island will be an unforgettable experience and you will never travel with strangers or added passengers, it's just you and me. My tours focus on Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and it is my goal to send you home with a sense of awe and wonder after visiting this gorgeous island. Please note: if flying to the Big Island for a day trip, please fly into and out of the Hilo airport. Most of the popular sights are closer to Hilo vs. Kona (Volcanoes National Park, waterfalls, Waipio Valley, black sand beaches, etc). The airport code for Hilo is ITO. Let me show you the beauty of the Big Island of Hawaii! All photos are original and not "stock" photos. It really is this beautiful here! State of Hawaii PUC license. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park certified guide with CUA Permit.

I booked Scott's tour for my son, and it was a fantastic experience. Scott knows the area extremely well and provided a wonderful tour. My son was mesmerized by Scott's first-hand knowledge of Volcano National Park, and said Scott showed them beautiful vistas while giving them an in-depth understanding of volcanoes. Scott tailored the tour to my son's interests - the hallmark of a great tour guide. We would highly recommend Scott to anyone visiting Hilo.

Scott took our family on a five hour tour of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and other areas and it was wonderful. We flew in from Oahu for the day just to see the NP and were not disappointed. While we missed the latest eruption (only by 2 days!) there were so many unique areas of the park. Scott was passionate about this love for the area and it showed. We went with our teen children who enjoyed it as well. Perfect amount of time. Would highly recommend using Scott for a tour from Hilo!

We spent the day with Scott, had a great time and learned a lot. He's flexible, very easygoing and a very nice guy who is easy to talk with. He took us to some places we would have never found on our own. Airport pickup was prompt and easy. Scott made the most of a day trip that was time well spent and a great investment.

If you're in Hilo, book this tour!! Can't make it any easier. Customized tour, and you'll see things that no other tour can offer. Simply amazing. I was on the NCL cruise, and Hilo was the highlight of the entire trip thanks to Scott. Thank you!!
Devon C.United States
From the moment we got in the truck with Scott we knew the tour was going to be amazing. His infectious enthusiasm and genuine love for the island made us wish we only had more time to see it all with him. He was so excited and easy going and took us to all of the best spots in volcanoes national park. Scott did this and more, answering all of the questions we had without skipping a beat. We could not imagine a better way of seeing the park in all of its beauty. One of the best days ever. Thank you Scott
