Overall it was an excellent trip! Both Louie and Jeff are talented and successfull guides. We are thrilled that we visited three islands and the private tours at Volcanoe Park and on the big island were a bonus. Traveling in two vans with 9 participants (small group) was much better than being with a larger group. The first and last hotel were great, the second and third hotels could have been better. We ended up with 50 new life birds and some great photos!
