A truly exciting adventure!!! Our guide, Joseph, was the best. He made our hike a golden memory by conducted the walk like a field trip when we were in school with so many interesting facts and knowledge of the Hawaiian region. Our guide demonstrated that he cared for each of us as individuals which made our group an extended family. I'd highly recommend this tour to young and old alike.
