Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide
Otherworldly!
Activity Date: 2025/09/15 | Posted on: 2025/09/16

An amazing experience watching the sun set into the clouds at the summit of Mauna Kea, breath taking. Followed up with an evening of incredible stargazing, to hard to explain the beauty of it. James was an excellent tour guide diving into Hawaiian history, culture, and his knowledge of the observatories, their work and the constellations that we could see during our star gazing experience made the evening even better.

Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay
Mesmerizing experience
Activity Date: 2025/08/31 | Posted on: 2025/09/02

It doesn't take much time for the Manta rays to show up, swimming with these giant peaceful fish is amazing experience.

We have limited snorkeling experience so it is tiring to float 45 minutes. We are exhausted when returning to the boat. It worths the experience.

Tip: Bring hot drink and chocolate bar with you!

The crew are willing to help with sea sickness and exhaustion, but they only have bottled water. The nearest place to get any replenish is Longs Drugs which requires several minutes of driving.

Packages: Night Manta Discovery Adventure
Tips and suggestions

Bring hot drink and chocolate bar. Snorkel tour is exhausting.

We were told by a couple at our hotel to make sure we do this tour and it was 💯 worth it! What a unique experience led by one of the native Hawaiian to see this hidden valley! Perfect for our 6 year old and adults too! It’s truly like a garden of Eden.

Fun and Informative with BEST Tour Guides
Activity Date: 2025/08/08 | Posted on: 2025/08/20

Anthony and Desmond were spectacular tour guides! Desmond is an expert at taking the amazing photos of your group, and Anthony is so knowledgeable and taught us so much with words, pictures, and artifacts while driving. But most of all, they were friendly and caring. I've never been more impressed with two tour guides! The tour showed us many interesting sites and we had a blast. It was the highlight of our trip to the big island!

We were traveling with young kids who were not really into snorkeling.. so we were looking inexpensive ways to look at some beautiful marine life. This was perfect for us. 5 minutes walk from our resort. Friendly, knowledgeable and more importantly patient staff. Luckily we kind of got a private tour as there was no one else at the same time as ours.

Kids loved it, we loved it too. Definitely recommended!!

It is an experience with my 3.5 year old daughter I will never forget, and I think she will remember forever. The trainer was very informative and great with kids. It’s clear how much they care about the dolphins, and the dolphins love what they do.

Really cool experience for the family. Adult kids of 23,21,18 really enjoyed it as well. Very friendly staff, manta rays got within inches of your face and even brushed up against you on occasion. Definitely an excursion that doesn’t take up a whole day or afternoon and you can squeeze in if your looking for something to do after dark

No need to bring a lot. Your not on the boat long so towels and such can stay at the car even
