We had a change of tour...

Published on Apr, 2025

We had a change of tour guide last minute, however Yosh was a very helpful nothing was too much attitude person. We did struggle with his English and dialogue at times but overall our tour was excellent.

Highly Recommended

Published on Apr, 2025

The local guide Yuki is nice, informative and professional. My group also booked a private cruise ship terminal / Kagoshima downtown transfer and the arrangement was perfectly arranged. Highly recommended!

Authentic day at an active volcano!

Published on Apr, 2025

Wow! What a great day. Our guide is from the island and shared with us what it is like to grow up and live with an active volcano. It erupts hundreds of times per year and they have to live with the ash and always be prepared to evacuate. We rode the ferry and the bus all over, soaked our feet in a hot spring, visited a shrine and museum, made volcanic ash paintings, and while at the observation point closest to the volcano, it erupted!!! Best tour ever.

A most versatile tour!

Published on Mar, 2025

We enjoyed the ferry ride, visiting an ancient temple (and seeing our 1st cherry tree in full bloom), making volcanic ash art (even my husband had fun!), soaking my feet in a hot spring, getting breathtaking views from the observation platform, and learning about volcanos. Even getting caught in a torrential downpour - twice! - didn't dampen our spirits!

Good value and very personal

Published on Mar, 2025

Booking through Viator gives a much more personal experience. There was me, my partner and another couple. Our guide, Kuni, was very thoughtful and knowledgeable and it was cheaper than booking a similar trip through the cruise line. In contrast, the following day, we had a trip booked through the cruise line and there were 26 of us in our group! Viator are very easy to communicate with. We were kept informed all the way through. We met at the ferry terminal and were led from there. Our trip included an Our trip included a visit to a pottery and art place where we participated in some art using coloured ash. Our masterpieces were then framed up for us to take home. A very cute memento.
