If you are the type of person who likes to do things on your own, at your own pace then by all means visit the volcano on your own. If you don't mind spending your day in a small tour group with an experienced guide who can enrich your experience with her knowledge of Hawaiian history and lore then by... more

We took a half day tour with Vavoom– Lori based on the reviews which we read in trip advisor and found out, the tour was a total rip-off and complete waste of time. Please go on your own and you will have more fun and can see all the views and places in detail. One can do this on their... more

I regularly use Tripadvisor to get the most value for my money. When my wife told me she'd always wanted to visit an active volcano, I wanted to use a professional tour service. Although we could have gotten a map and visited the park ourselves, we didn't have much time and we wanted to make the most of it. Traveling... more

Great day at Volcano National Park with a small group. If you have only 1 day to see the park this is the way to go. Lori will take you to all the best spots & ask the group what things are important to each customer. Lori gives great suggestions on how to see the lava flow into the Pacific.... more

Lori Alana is a great tour guide, and willing to accommodate special requests. My girlfriend & I wanted to spend some time at the Volcano Winery after the tour without holding up everyone else, so we decided it would be best if we drove up separately in our own car, right behind Lori's van. To ensure we didn't miss out... more

My fiancee and I visited Hilo at the beginning of June specifically so we could see the volcanoes. Not knowing much about them I booked a tour with Lori after reading numerous reviews on this site. She picked us up at our hotel promptly at 8:30 and then we picked up two other families. On our drive up to the... more

We spent a couple of days in the Hilo area during our 2 week trip to Hawaii. On 23-May my husband, son (21) and I toured Volcano National Park with Lori of Vavoom Tours. This was a very delightful experience. Lori is professional, informative and entertaining. I made my arrangements with her long in advance (because I heard her tours... more

If you are planning for a Hilo day trip, then this is a great tour. Not only is Lori knowledgeable of the area, she provides insightful background to Hawaiian lore and its history. We were fortunate to have been the only couple/people on the day of our tour and Lori was more than accommodating with our wishes while providing options... more

My husband Jonathan and I went to the Big Island for just one day and decided to book Vavoom Volcano Tours due to lots of recommendations posted on Tripadvisor.com. We started our tour by taking a scenic drive through the Big Island until we reached huge fields of steam vents. That was an amazing site to see. Next, we visited... more
