The Polynesian Adventures "Volcano Adventure Tour" was a major disappointment. In fact, it would not be inappropriate to label it a scam. I booked this tour based on the description given on the company's website, only to find that the advertised ...

Pros: Guides knowledge of island history
Cons: Everything else

My husband and I and the couple we were with were the last to be picked up for this bus tour.  Therefore we got to sit in the last row, instead of a window to look out of, we had a bathroom to look at.  While the tour guide was knowledgeable about the island and history, he was also quite opinionated about politics and us 'white tourists'.  We were absolutely appalled at some of his remarks, especially with children on the tour.  Aside from that, about 25% of the tour was interesting.  The rest was nothing but stops at gift shops.   You had twenty minutes to get off and buy something.  The guide kept commenting on how much money all us tourists had and that we could shop at all the stops.  I would not recommend this tour for anyone.  It isn't anything you couldn't have done on your own.
