We booked the Big Island Volcano National Park and Rainbow Falls excursion while in Hilo, HI on April 28, 2012, from Radiance of the Seas.
This was similar to a tour offered by the ship although the ship tour included lunch and was $40 more for 2 of us.
My problem with this excursion is that we were loaded onto a mid sized bus at first and then transferred to a 12 passenger van because they said "we can't afford to use a larger bus for a small group." We sat at the pier for about 10-15 minutes, no air conditioning and very cramped. The van had poor visibility and the passengers in back had to crawl over the rear wheel well just to get seated. After I got out of the van to find the driver, we got air conditioning and the tour proceeded.
It was not the drivers fault and he was a good tour guide. But we were not treated well by Island Marketing, and will probably not use them again.
