It was great and fun! The water was beautiful and blue.
Our guide Wes was incredible! We learned so much and enjoyed the sunset and stargazing on Mauna Kea so much! Wes was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
All 6 of us loved this trip! Lots of fun, great crew, awesome music. Sunset wasn't 1too great as it was a cloudy, rainy day...but that's not your fault and we had a wonderful time anyway. Good drinks, definitely not watered down!
Perfect as it was. Wouldn't recommend kids on this trip. Should be adults only. Seriously.
Don't worry that it's your first time snorkeling! John will kindly teach you how to drive a kayak, jump out of the middle of the ocean in a kayak and snorkel! If you have a waterproof phone case, it will help you take pictures of beautiful scenery and marine animals during your activities. You can meet monkseals, turtles, cute various fish, and octopus up close! Don't miss the best experience!
I highly recommend you to take a tour from the front seat! You can fully enjoy the incredibly dazzling and beautiful scenery of Molokai Island, which is beyond human reach!
My wife and I went here for our honeymoon and werent diasappointed. The venue itself was beautiful, as was all the food and presentations around. It had a very Hawaii vibe and feel. The dancing and chanting by all involved was wonderful and I learned a lot. Met a lot of great people at my table as well. The waiter was awesome and very attentive.
This cruise beat my expectations. The food was amazing and there was so much that none of us could finish. The outlook and entertainment were fantastic. My kids even got up and danced at the end and my 15 year old daughter told me several times throughout the night how much she enjoyed herself.... a pricey outing that was worth it...
We just booked the standard package and sat on the middle deck and it was perfect
My wife and I had a spectacular day. We got on the boat from the beach in Ka'anapoli Beach and sailed to Lanai. There was plenty of food and drink. We landed ashore on Lanai and had a great couple hours on the beautiful beach. The host provided beach chairs, beach mats, snorkel gear, lifeguards, juice and water, snacks and even sun screen. The beach was great and the water was clear. The reef had a variety of fish to observe while snorkeling.
Then a bbq lunch was provided which was plentiful and delicious. The sail back to Ka'anapoli Beach was very pleasant. Again snacks and endless drinks were provided. Great trip!!
Really don't need to bring anything except camera, towells and swim suits.
Great boat was awesome the crew was amazing good experience
Everything is good
It was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was so informative and polite it made the trip that much better.
The only recommendation if you want to see the stars schedule your trip when the moon is near the ne
We came to the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate our Honeymoon, and this was 1 of the excursions we had planned. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We had such a fun time, having the movie sites pointed out along the way to base camp. The 3 instructors that took us through the course were amazing, very attentive, asking questions about each of us, congratulating us and thanking us for coming. It did start raining 2 zip lines in, but wasn’t that bad. They kept the entire experience fun and full of entertainment. 100% recommend!
Wear shoes that don’t need socks, cause if it rains on you too you don’t want wet socks.
Wonderful driver, on time, and professional, with my party. Highly recommend them!
We had an amazing time on the Amelia K. The crew was great and the views of the coast were spectacular. A real must see. Even saw a sea turtle snorkeling.
Definitely take Dramamine before your trip. We felt fine but some other folks were looking green.
We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. The ship and crew was outstanding and the ability to do 'off shore' sandbar stopover with BBQ lunch and snorkeling was terrific. Although we had a rental car, we opted to take advantage of their transportation (a bus) and that was a real plus with door-to-door service. And although the bus was filled to capacity, on arrival they broke into two groups with two sailing vessels but stayed in tandem. The ships were in top shape and the onboard restrooms clean and stocked.
The sandbar experience was wonderful permitting amazing photos with Oahu mountains in the background. The crew was outgoing, mixing with the guests and ensuring all was safe and fun. The BBQ was ample and tasty, and the included and optional drinks wide ranging. The tour allowed plenty of time for all phases including the snorkeling...never feeling rushed with lots of time for exploration along the reef. The fish were plentiful and the coral in good condition. The crew was environmentally conscientious and took extra care in entering and existing the ship while snorkeling (with an onboard fresh water rinse afterwards). Their snorkel gear appeared new with ample numbers of swim jackets.
I highly recommend booking Captain Bob's...you won't regret it.
This is a great tour to see sights that you wouldn't otherwise get to see on your visit to the Big Island. We rode through the forest and on the coastline, getting to see amazing views. The tour guides, Nato and Henry, were amazing and had so much knowledge about Kohala and Hawaiian history. This tour educated us on other areas that we ended up going to visit during our trip.
During this tour you get absolutely filthy. Be sure to bring extra clothes and wipes!
If you'e going to Kona, you HAVE to night snorkel with the manta rays! It was such a magical experience that felt once in a lifetime. Initially, I was scared to get into the ocean at night, but once you're in the water, the wonder and amazement settled my fears.
This tour is a particularly good one to choose because the boat ride to "Manta Village" is only about 5 minutes from the dock. There are other tours where you leave from a different dock and the boat ride is 45 minutes. For someone that gets seasick, choosing this tour over others is a no brainer.
Be aware that they may change your tour time. During my visit, they were offering tours at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm. We booked the 7pm tour. On the day of tour, they called us at about 1pm and told us the 7pm tour was being cancelled because there weren't enough people signed up. They asked us to join the 6pm tour. They did the same with the 8pm group. Luckily, it worked with our schedule and wasn't a big deal, but it's something to be aware of.
This tour was one of my favorite things we did while on the Big Island! Initially, the plan was to just go to the Waipi'o Valley lookout. I am so glad we ended up deciding to take the tour. You're taken down into the valley (on an extremely steep road) in a 10ish seater van. I get really carsick and had no issues during the tour. Our wonderful guide, Forrest, informed us of the history of the valley and it's people. He was extremely informative and clearly cares so much about the valley and it's history. The views inside the valley were stunning! Do yourself a favor and book this tour.
Very beautiful setting and the food, drinks and service was great.
We all had a hard time hearing the announcer. Her voice was too quiet. Couldn't follow.
Derick was great on our tour! Very knowledgeable of the island and nature. Professional yet personal.
We had the pleasure of going on a boat tour with Veltra. They really care about customer experience and strive towards excellence.
The crew was great, we loved the boat ride and hula lesson!
Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and kind. He went out of his way to teach us about Waipi’o family and ensure we experienced it to the fullest!
James, our guide, was very knowledgeable, funny and the added stories he told us were add treat. James made sure we got to see all the views on our way up the volcano. Seeing the views from the summit were amazing. And the star gazing after crazy. Again James showed us all the constellations that were in the sky. The tour also has a telescope were we got top see the moon up close. We even got to see Saturn
We went as a family of 4 with a 13 and 15 year old and all loved our day! Our tour guides were fun and informative…. We just wish we had more time to do more of the activities… we strongly recommend this tour!!!
If you can go early in the day do a few of the activities as there is so much to experience there!
This was a fun experience and the the staff was amazing! Would do this again
Highly recommend. We had a fantastic time! A highlight for sure
Hi
We had an incredible experience. Your crew was excellent. Can’t wait to go on another charter.
thanks
Our tour guide Barkley was amazing! The whole family had a great time. The guides were so funny and knowledgeable. This is a MUST DO if you’re in Kauai!
From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences on the island as far as tours go. We got to the parking lot and we asked some locals where to go, and they directed us to the boat, which was at the very end of the dock. When we got in the folks working on the boat were very professional and welcoming. They have live music playing, and that was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating and they had complementary water, a juice, and donuts. They also had snacks for purchase and beer. There was restrooms on the boat and lifejackets. We were given clear instructions as to what activities we could do and for that price it was great. You could kayak you could do stand-up paddleboard you could snorkel or you could pay extra to do the banana boats or the bumper boats, but I think you had to sign up for those prior to going on the trip out. The whole family had fun and we were all able to try everything with the allotted amount of time that we were out on the water. It was a great experience overall, and we recommend it to all the families that visit Oahu.
A great trip. Staff , boat and equipment was excellent. Fun for first time snorkeling
