Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

If you are looking to book a Lava tour in Hawaii, we suggest looking elsewhere..

Upon reviewing Greg Nottingham’s LavaWalk Tour, we decided to make a booking for May 2017. Following the instructions on his site, we scheduled and paid a $50 deposit through PayPal. Just over one week later we received an email confirmation receipt and booking notice for a Sunset Lava Walk. Greg’s email begins by mentioning we talked over the phone - we booked online so attention to detail was a little lacking. Nevertheless it confirmed our desired date and hike for two. It also instructed us to call our Lava Guide, Chris the day of our tour to further coordinate the meet. As for the remaining payment, bring cash and pay your guide directly at the conclusion of the hike. After our email reply confirming receipt to Greg, there was zero communication by Lava Walk prior to the hike which seemed unusual.

Our hike date arrived and we called Lava Guide Chris’ phone number. The call went straight to an automated Verizon greeting. We left a voicemail hoping to hear back within an hour or so, but never received a call back. We also text messaged Chris’ number and never received a reply. We also tried calling the owner Greg and his number was out of service. We found a different phone number posted on his website and you guessed it, not in service either. Frustrated, we tried to contact other lava walk tours, but they were booked solid. We missed our opportunity to see lava up close.

After reading mostly positive reviews on TripAdvisor, we trusted Greg and his company would follow through with the services being offered. Leading up to and including the hike date, we had not received a follow-up phone call, email, text message, or reply in our attempts to confirm. This lack of communication was and still is completely unacceptable.

As for the $50 prepaid deposit, we had to open a claim with PayPal to get our money back; we had no other way of contacting anyone from this business.

After feeling scammed and posting an initial negative review, Greg contacted us to offer an explanation. This was the first time we had heard from anyone from the company since booking. He said his phone was hacked, and also was in the hospital for over a month. The person he left running his business "messed up" - I'd say so! If that is the case, all customers who had scheduled tours during this "temporary business closure" should have been contacted ASAP to have the opportunity to make other arrangements and offered a refund. In our experience, we found Greg’s company was unreliable and perhaps too small to trust with your time and money. We still do not know why his Lava Guide, Chris never answered his calls.

We suggest booking with the many other tours around Hawaii that have a better presence and are sure to have better communication!​

We were on our way to Hilo and initially wanted to book the sunset boat tour that afternoon but it was sold out so Greg (the owner) suggested the Sunset Lava Walk. Our guides Chris and Ivan were fantastic! We were able to drive further in than anyone which was nice to cut off about 4 miles of the hike! They gave us the history of Kilauea eruptions along our walk to the lava fields. Once we arrived Chris and Ivan made sure everyone was safe, provided water, snacks and flashlights. It was truly amazing to be so close to the lava! It was an experience I'll never forget thanks to Greg, Chris and Ivan! I highly recommend the Lava Walk tour!

We called to find out about last-minute lava boat tours and, of course, they were all booked out, but Greg (who runs LavaWalk) said there was space on the evening tour if we wanted to go along. We're so glad we did! We met our guide Ivan and drove past all the people doing the long hike to the Kalapana lava flow. Ivan grew up around here, so proved a fun and insightful tour leader. We went to the coastline to see the lava flowing into the ocean, then set off across the volcanic rock to find the lava flow. It's an awesome experience to be just a metre or so from it. We followed the flow, then waited until after dark to see it in its full glory. Can't recommend this tour highly enough. Not only does it significantly cut the amount of time it takes to walk to the flow, but it's amazing having someone who knows so much about the volcano and the area surrounding it explaining it all to you.

This was truly an awe inspiring walk! We did the sunset hike with Chris and we had a spectacular time! Chris was extremely knowledgeable and packed all of the necessary equipment. Chris has first hand knowledge and knows an incredible amount about the history of the lava flow and the area.

This was an amazing walk. Chris is from Hawaiʻi and brought his upbringing in to the walk adding blessings and songs to the historical and cultural information of the volcano. We were able to walk to the water to see the lava flowing into the ocean and then up towards the mountain side to get very close to the lava flow. Chris and his hiking partner provide water and flashlights to all. Chris also took photos with his camera and text them to me. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to see the volcano in action.

Seeing the lava flowing into the ocean is amazing.It is well worth the trip.

Chris is a wonderful guide. He told us all about the volcano and flow. We also heard stories about Pele, her sisters and her brother Maui

We were able to drive halfway in due to being on this tour. That way we only had to walk 2 miles in rather than 4. It is an easy walk down a gravel road. Once we got to walking over the lava Chris picked an easy path for us. He let us stay as long as we wanted. He also backpacked in water and flashlights for everyone in the group.
Loved this tour

Had the sunrise lava walk with Chris and he was great! He taught about different lavas and different flows. His information on Hawaii and culture was interesting. He is enthusiastic and helpful, even taking us on an additional side venture into the lava fields to steam vents.

Flew over to the big island for my GFs birthday and all she wanted was lava. Kavika was a great guide and man did he deliver on the lava. It was great to drive in a little further in than the rest of the people and his cultural information while walking to the lava was excellent. He brings extra water, snacks, and the ever important flashlights. Head lamps would be a good thing to bring if you have your own. Got to watch the lava entering the ocean from the bluff and after dark we walked to a lava crack and you could see it running like a river. Wicked cool! Thanks Kavika for the great experience!!
