Over several visits to the Big Island, we did all of the other major tours with HFT and this was the last one of their offerings. On their web site, they indicate this is a "moderate." I think this is accurate in that the hike was a bit more of a physical challenge than their other offerings - Volcano Unveiled and the Kohala Falls. Bringing good hiking shoes is a must and make sure you take a walking stick, even if you've never used one before. We were led by guides Taro and Nick. Taro moved like a squirrel and took care of all of us. The sights were great and I appreciated the appropriately spaced breaks in the walk up, around and down the volcano.

It was neat to see many craters and listen to Taro’s explanations about history of the volcanoes on the big island. Lava tube was good but short.Nick has a fun personality and pleasant to hike with.

This hike was amazing, you get to walk along the craters edge and then climb down into an old lava tube. Totally cool!!

Guinevere was our guide, she was funny and very knowledgeable about the plants and history of the island. She even provided us with drinks and snacks before and after our hike.

Totally make this one of your must dos on your visit!!!

This hike is legit…..a challenging hike with a really cool pay-off at the top …and gliding thru the lava tube was super cool. Our guide, Eugene and his partner Taro, were really great and allowed for a few stopping points on the way up to allow us to catch our breath. Snacks and drinks at the end were a pleasant surprise. Pack your hiking shoes, bring water and take advantage of the hiking sticks provided, you will need them. Also enjoy the quiet sounds of nature in this holy Hawaiian place!

Although the hike up the mountain was not for the faint of heart, I made it at the age of 73. Just remember, what goes up, must come down. Guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable.

This was the best hike /tour we have done so far on our trip to the big island. Mark , our guide was very enthusiastic, informative and knowledgeable about the volcano, plant life and ecology overall. He was just the coolest guide. It was a moderate hike, steep and yet so enjoyable. The views were amazing. Enjoyed the cooler temperatures at the top. We hiked about 6200’ so worth it!

A nice hike with a very nice and super informative guide - Mateo! Fantastic sights worth seeing and although hiking sticks are provided if you need them I wouldn’t recommend this if you struggle with balance and slippery surfaces. Otherwise top trek!

Excellent experience. Breathtaking views, led by an extremely informative guide. We learned a little about the history of the island, of the craters we visited, saw some beautiful plants and lava formations. Highly recommend!!

It was a nice hike with the tour guide Mattheo. He told us a lot about the landscape and the history of Hawaii. We saw many cool craters and climbed through a lava tunnel. Mattheo provided us with equipment and beverages. It was a great experience.
