End of Tour: Jack’s Going Out of Business

The volcanic activity has now claimed at least one long-term tour operation on the Big Island of Hawai‘i.

After more than 50 years of operation, Jack’s Tour Company is shutting down their business and operations—their last day of operation will be July 31, 2018.

In a letter sent out from the company the company stated:

We regret to announce that we will be closing down our business and operations. Our last day of providing services will be July 31, 2018. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. The downturn in tourism due to the volcanic activity on Hawai‘i Island has affected our business significantly and, unfortunately, we are unable to continue operations due to the significant decrease in business levels with no foreseeable improvement in the near future. We are very grateful for your business partnership and want to express our thank you and appreciation for all your support over the years.
