Kilauea Volcano’s summit swarms with hundreds of earthquakes. From February 21 – 24th, 2012 earthquakes as large as 4.3 rocked the summit area. The magnitude-4.3 earthquake did cause a small rockfall in the active vent located within Halema’uma’u Crater. Please see a picture of this event taken by Larry Broido.
Our guided bicycle tours have continued to provide guests with uniquely special days, including spectacular views of snow capped Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea Volcano.

Our family took the tour with Alex and had a blast. We learned so much about volcanoes and Hawaii’s geological history from him. We lucked out with the weather, catching stunning views of the Kilauea caldera, craters and ridges. The bikes were in tip top shape and very comfortable to ride. Alex and his colleague, Pretty, made sure that our group was properly fitted with helmets and safety before we got going. All in all, great ride. Highly recommend for your trip.
We had a great time biking the volcano. Steve and Keone, our guides, were very knowledgeable, entertaining and fun. Thanks for being patient with our big group of 8, including our youngest at age 7. The best part was the beauty. Oh my goodness, riding down those roads in Volcano was breathtaking. I took pictures when I shouldn’t have, while biking….sorry, Steve. But what memories we had. And Keone is one awesome van driver!

HI
Just wanted to let you know that our family of four were on your tour yesterday with our Bike Volcano guide and driver. They did an absolutely fabulous job and made it a perfect tour–a great balance of information and activity and very good spirit.
We had a fantastic time.
Many thanks,
Karen Zelin & Bill Underwood
I had recently cycled the the bike volcano tour on the 26 of April. I would like to say how well this worked out for me as you know I was to arrive from Oahu early in the morning and to be picked up at the Hilo Hawaiian hotel. My driver was right on time and a very informative polite guide as well. After we arrived at the park gate we met our bicycling tour guide. He as well was very polite and very knowledgeable too. I had an excellent time with your group, all was perfect the bikes were excellent and the lunch was delicious too. This whole trip as a part of my bucket list and probably so many others too, worked out so well for a day trip from Oahu I would have to highly recommended to all. Thanx very much
Thanx

The bike tour itself was wonderful; from starting at the museum, to the wine tasting, and then lunch at seaside. The scenery was gorgeous, walking through the lave tube was incredible, and learning the history of the area, the islands, volcanoes, and flora and fauna was fascinating! It was truly a one of a kind adventure.
But what really made the trip amazing was our guides. Their knowledge and passion were astonishing!!! They saw to our every need before we could even ask and answered every question with intelligence and enthusiasm!!
I will be 50 next month, and haven’t been on a bicycle for 19 years. They could not have been more understanding and when I had to walk part way up 2 small inclines and ride in the van for the one steep hill, they went out of their way to make sure I didn’t feel like a failure.
And beyond all of the above, our guides are just great people!! Please pass on our heartfelt thanks to them for making this such a stupendous, once-in-a-lifetime adventure!!! We would do it again in a heartbeat, and will encourage anyone who’s heading that way to enjoy this amazing experience.
Thank you!!

I am writing to express the good time that my wife and I had on the volcano bike tour and wine tasting on Dec. 22. The guide and driver made this tour the most enjoyable tour we have ever been on. From the point where we were picked up the driver’s upbeat and welcoming attitude was a prelude to the atmosphere of the entire trip. The guide’s knowledge and passion for the information of the tour combined with his simple detailed explanations of the inner workings of the volcano and geological features made learning about the science and culture of the area very gratifying. His interjections of his personal experience working with the USGS gave the tour a much more personal spin then just simply stating facts. We would like to commend these employees and relay to you that because of them we will be recommending bike volcano tours all friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances who have the good fortune of visiting Hawaii.
Kind Regards,
Mike and Steph Barrett
Just wanted to drop a note and send compliments to our guide and driver. They were outstanding, very informative and extremely courteous. This was our first full day on the island and don’t think we could have had a better time. Mahalo!
