Kailani Tours Hawaii

Had a wonderful time on our Volcano Tour. Our driver & guide Brad was awesome. He truly set the mood for our trip with his knowledge & open personality, talkin’ story. He was so fun, our group opted to hear him talk story vs putting in a DVD.
This is a long day. For us (from Kailua-​Kona), 10a to 12a. There are multiple pick ups to different resorts to pick up your fellow tourist. If you’re in Waikaloa area, you can subtract 45min from your total trip.
I like this trip because Brad set the expectation of the trip. Taking care to tell us «the plan» and keep us on time with our schedule. Telling us how much time it was until the next destination was so helpful. Also recommending the «better» bathroom breaks was much appreciated. The facilities chosen were clean.
Lunch was boxed (picnic style) at Mauna Kea. Chicken Cesar wrap & ham + cheese sandwich with salad. Plenty of water provided. Children’s playground at this stop. Dinner was at the lodge, steak, fresh fish or eggplant. Soup or salad start included, soups delicious. You just pay extra for cocktails or dessert. I had lilikoi margarita, so delicious.
Also loved the little amenities provided like binoculars, parka jackets, flashlights. I recommend using all these things. It makes your experience viewing the volcano at night much more enjoyable. End of the evening, hot cocoa, coffee or tea provided to warm you up. It is cold at night so considered yourself warned & dress appropriately.
Overall, worth the trip if you’re willing to spend the time & relax & enjoy.

Absolutely awesome volcano tour with guide Jim Carey! Highlight of our trip! Spectacular!
