We took Polynesian Adventure tours and our driver was perfect, I wish I could remember his name because he made the trip just wonderful. When we got to the top and went to the viewing area and waited we didn’t really know what to expect. It exceeded everything we wanted and more, it was a once in a lifetime experience.

The view was amazing! Getting up so early was rough, but the experience & sunrise was worth it. Dress warmer than you think! We’re from Canada and even we thought it was chilly!
Preston, our guide, was also fantastic; he really made the adventure special.
We had breakfast at an old plantation-turned farm. Wished we would have been able to spend more time here; it’s so cute! Lots of fresh local fruits, veggies, coffee and items here as well :)
