Got picked up at the hotel by Hank our guide for the day. Fourteen seater bus and tour guide just for myself and the hubby!! Hank was very friendly, he asked us questions about ourselves and answered ours. On our tour, Hank told us all about the island and more. We got to see a turtle on Richardson Beach, eat lots of samples at the Macadamia Nut Factory and enjoy the views of Rainbow Falls. The weather let us down for our trip up to the Volcano, four seasons in one day. We got to see some nice views, had a walk in the rain through the forest, but no lava seen as the clouds had descended down around us. A really enjoyable day none the less. Will just have to return to do it again!!
