We had an awesome experience with Blue Hawaiian. We weren't able to experience the complete experience because of poor weather over Volcano National Park but Blue Hawaiian did an excellent job of working with us to create an alternative tour for us. Dale was great as our pilot and tour guide.
If you can, book the the volcanoes and waterfall tour
We had a free afternoon on the Big Island and wanted to check out the Waipio Valley. After a little research, we found that the only way for non-locals to visit was with an official guide. The Waipio shuttle is a custom vehicle designed to safely navigate the tricky terrain - including steep grade and crossing shallow rivers. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! Not only could he expertly drive us where we needed to go, but he also offered to take photos at each beautiful stop. This was a highlight of our trip!
Gary was a knowledgeable and easy guide, and everything was well organized.
Wear easy zip layers for temperature changes.
The Royal Kona Resort Luau was a fantastic oceanfront experience. The setting overlooking the water was beautiful, especially at sunset, and the evening was well organized from start to finish
Swimming beneath the waterfalls was refreshing, and the kayaking and SUP added a fun mix of adventure
The food and show were both great. It seemed like a smaller venue than one we went to on Maui a few years ago, which was nice because there was less wait to get food and every seat had a great view of the show. Great for the kids, it wrapped up around 7:30pm. Fire dance was pretty cool as well.
Great food , entertainment and company . Great time
Forrest was an amazing guide for a very complex and breathtaking history/landscape/culture.
What a wonderful experience to get close to dolphins! My daughter (11) loved it so much. She got to swim with the dolphins and work with the trainer to give commands to the dolphins. It was so exciting to see all the amazing knowledge these beautiful creatures have. The trainers provide so much information as to the care and conservation of dolphins.
Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and prepared and our experience was unique with the viewing of a huge shooting star crossing the sky as a prelude to the eruption of the volcano in the distance. Unforgettable, thank you!
Bring warm clothes and wear boots.
We went out with four people and two ATVs. The scenery was very diverse and beautiful from farmland with cows to force and waterfalls. Great view of the seven valleys. The course was also great and the guides were super helpful and very chill. Highly recommend.
If you’ve never driven ATV before, don’t let that stop you. The guides were very helpful.
Highly recommend. We had a local guide who did a fantastic job educating us about the people and culture of the valley. The views were stunning. Can’t say enough good about it.
Only way to enter in the valley, it was great! Tour guide was really friendly and took lots of photos of us
I had a wonderful experience on the Mauna Kea tour. The trip was very well organized, and the whole experience was both smooth and memorable.
Our tour guide Jimms was excellent. He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, and he explained everything clearly throughout the tour. He also made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of, especially given the unique conditions at Mauna Kea.
This tour was truly unforgettable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Jimms, for such a great experience!
This experience was great ! Thank you ! Francis was very nice !
This tour is long but well worth it. We were picked up at the Starbucks, Queen’s Shopping Center, Waikoloa Beach Resort. We drove to the Mauna Kea Visitor’s Center where we had a very nice dinner. Next we went to the summit to view the telescopes and sunset from almost 14,000 feet. We the viewed the night sky through telescopes in almost complete darkness. Our driver and guide, Arthur, was fantastic. What a great experience!
This is a must see. Shuttle tour was safe, timely, and very informative. Our guide actually grew up in the valley so shared very accurate info. Beautiful place.
We had a great time with Kimo. He made us feel at ease. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He was able to answer our questions and did not make us feel dumb. He also seemed to genuinely enjoy our party’s craziness.
After the snorkel, the crew offered hot cocoa and snacks, which was a nice way to warm up and reflect on the experience during the ride back under the stars
The tour was super well organized, with a guide who shared interesting insights along the way!
This tour is a must do while visiting the Big Island, as it has a perfect combination of natural beauty, cultural context, and astronomy!!!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable sharing rich history and stories that really brought Waipio Valley to life. Navigating the roads with this company felt safe, and the off-road portion allowed us to access areas we never could have reached on our own! A win
What an amazing experience! We had the perfect weather conditions to watch an amazing sunset and an absolutely clear night to see the stars. BUT what made this trip unforgettable is James our tour guide. He is funny knowledgeable and kind. He made sure we were able to capture moments throughout our trip. He is an amazing photographer and was intentional in capturing our photos with the sunset and with the millions of stars! You have to book your trip with Hawaiian Eyes Tours.
We packed layering clothes and added layers as we traveled up. Their gear was clean and necessary!
Lots of great sights throughout, the water is very crystal clear in kona
Sunset views in Big Island was the best sunset we ever seen!!
We had a wonderful experience at Waipio Ranch. Ronson was a wonderful guide! We enjoyed our ride all over the ranch. And we really enjoyed the exotic fruit he shared with us. We would recommend this experience for anyone!!!
What a great time we had, breeze, ocean spray, turtles and a school of dolphins. Just being on the ocean is like heaven. Captain and crew were like family from the minute we step on the boat. We will be going out with them agqi.
If you are thinking about going on the beautiful pacific and are in the Hilo area. I say this is a t
Loved this tour - our tour guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable and we saw some beautiful spots of the island. Definitely recommend this trip as you get to see a lot in one day. My favourite places were the black sand beach with the sea turtles and the Volcanoes National Park (but to be honest, I loved all the sites).
What an enchanting evening out on the water experiencing the wonderful manta rays of the Big Island!
This evening offered stunning sunset views over Kealakekua Bay, with live entertainment that added a festive, relaxing vibe!
