My Experience.....or Not
Reviewed by: Robert Berger, 2012/02/21I attended this tour on 11 Feb 2012. It may have been good if I were not staying at the KMC military camp on the other side of the island. We were not picked up until almost 3 oclock and the rest of the tour group had already been to a lava tube and some other volcano excursions. since they had already eaten we were not only eating late but had to eat while the guide was explaining things at the jagger overlook. We were not given any discounts for missing this part of the tour in an already highly priced tour. The guide himself seemed very knowledgeable about the parts of the tour that we did participate in. Also the food for dinner was subpar and I did not expect to eat in the dark in the shack at the end of crater road with no view of anything.

We had a great time..
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/12/06We had a great time with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Beautiful sites with history and current information provided throughout the day. My only complaint was that my vegetarian dinner did not materialize. Lunch sandwich was fine, but all dinners were the same.
I would definitely tour with your company again. Thanks, Matt!

Well Done all round!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/07/01Rob our guide (and the big Kahuna of HF&T) turned up on time and was quick to introduce himself and make everyone at ease including the young kids we had.
The vehicle HF&T use are top quality Sprinter vans not the cramped clunky old F350's and the like that all the other companies we saw were using. This had lots of leg room, great visibility and a smooth ride. We certainly saw all the other travelers with different tour companies looking at us with envy at the amount of space and comfort we had.
Rob new his stuff and before 10 minutes passed we were all hanging on his every word, and even the kids were quiet!. Any of his staff that spends time with him would obviously benefit from his experience and knowledge. Rob showed a great empathy for the indigenous Hawaiians and his knowledge of their beliefs and customs was terrific. The way he could get his tongue around some of the Hawaiian words was certainly impressive, a skill which would only come from many years of exposure to the cul

Twilight Volcano 3/2010
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/07/01Bob Fewell was an excellent tour guide on our trip to see the volcanoes on March 5th. It was just the two of us so we covered a lot of ground in the time we had, which is what I wanted. He was very knowledgeable and personable. I would like to retain him again when we come back.
