Just booked the Hawaii Volcanoes NP tour! So excited!

Hey everyone! I just booked the private tour with Big Island Backroad Adventures for the Volcanoes National Park and black sand beaches. It sounds incredible! They mentioned we can customize our experience and I’m really hoping to get some good stargazing in after we check out the volcanoes. Did anyone here do it? Any tips or must-sees?

Considering this as a gift, how was the experience?

Looking for a unique gift for my husband and came across this private tour of Hawaii Volcanoes NP. It seems amazing, but looking for real experiences. How did you guys like it? Any specifics about the food or the guide?
