Thanks Malcolm. We will do the guided 4WD tour. SWMBO will be coming too
She doesn't like hiking, so the short trip to the summit should be ok.
Does the escorted tour always get entry into the Keck telescope?
We are in big island from May 15 - 19, so we'll go up either the Saturday or Sunday, whichever has the better weather. Thanks for the advice on the hire car. Who did you hire from?
We are staying in Hilo, but haven't booked yet. Any recommendations? We're leaving is until we get there, as if it's cloudy, we'll go to Volcanoes National park first.
