Kohala Whale Watching Tour by Ocean Sports | Kids 0-5 Ride for Free [Dec - Mar]
We saw whales but the boat was so-so
Reviewed by: Anonymous, 2017/01/12We've been on multiple whale tours over the years. We saw multiple whales but the boat was crowded and pretty dated. The microphone didn't work for the first 30 minutes and they never used the hydrophone after mentioning that they had one. Definitely not the "spacious deck with ample seating for all passengers and first class amenities" as advertised. The Kawaihae Harbor location is setup weird. After arriving and checking in we had to board a bus for a 5 minute ride to the boat. Every cruise in the past allowed us to park and then walk on without a shuttle bus. The crew was friendly.

Kohala Zipline Treetop Canopy Adventure with Optional Waterfall Swim Upgrade
The canopy zipline rocked!
Reviewed by: K.L.M., 2016/07/26My entire family had a blast zip lining through the tree canopies! Chris and Cassie were our guides and they were hospitable, informative and patient. It was our first time zip lining in such an environment-hundreds of feet in the air and we felt completely comfortable and confident in their hands. They provided us with water and snacks midway and at the conclusion of our adventure, including freshly picked bananas! They shared knowledge about the vegetation and geographical landmarks, as well as, insight into local eateries! Not only did we enjoy the various zip lines, but there were also suspension bridges and a final rappel to the ground. You also get to ride in a really cool armory jeep of some sort as you travel to and from the excursion. It surpassed our expectations and we were so glad to have chosen that adventure during our travels on The Big Island.

Hulakai - Big Island Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Adventure & Lessons in Waikoloa
A little bit challenging, but fun!
Reviewed by: Teri and Norty, 2016/05/30The voucher we printed was a little confusing. It had the correct zip code and address, but the wrong location in one area, and the correct location in another. Leave early so you can find the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Hulakai Beach Hut. It is NOT at the Waikoloa Resort. We got there right on time and met Chris at the hut. He was very nice and friendly, low key and patient. I guess he's done this a lot with us novices! The cove was flat and glassy, and easy to get back on the board if you fall. After some practice in the cove, he lead us out past the breakers into a little more challenging water, but still not horribly choppy. Turned around and headed back into the cove. I had an easier time, so it may be more difficult for some people than others. Relax as best you can, keep looking up and you should be well on your way!

Kohala Zipline Treetop Canopy Adventure with Optional Waterfall Swim Upgrade
Awesome zip line experience!
Reviewed by: Bwp97, 2016/05/25Had a great time! Learned a lot about the environment and other tidbits along the way to and during the zip line. The safety lecture was very thorough. Brett and Rogan were very informative, friendly, knowledgeable, and funny throughout the day. We took a couple of our friend's young teenagers and we all had a great time. Would definitely do it again when we visit again. Thanks for an awesome day Brett and Rogan!

Big Island Volcano Kilauea & Mauna Loa Flight from Hapuna - Sunshine Helicopters
Fantastic tour!
Reviewed by: Lila Walker, 2016/02/25My family and I took a private tour a couple days ago. Jim was our pilot, and he was not only knowledgeable about the island's history, the vegetation, but in general knowledgeable about nearly everything we asked him about.
His piloting skills were top notch, and spent time to really show us the island. He also made an effort to acknowledge each of us by name and to get to know us. He added personal anecdotes about his experiences on the island, and was compassionate about not scaring the whales as we flew above them. He had an amazing spirit!
The staff that picked us up, got us onto the helicopter, and back to our hotel were equally amazing. I'd recommend this excursion to anyone, I really enjoyed it!

Kohala Coast Sunset Cocktail Cruise (from Hapuna)
A beautiful activity for a beautiful area
Reviewed by: Trevor Smith, 2015/08/15My wife and I took this cruise. Were picked up and given warm welcome, then staff were lovely and very easy to talk to whilst constantly serving you. Open bar was generously doled out - you were actually encouraged to use it! Food also enough that we didn't have to eat again that evening. Really lovely evening cruising along the bay, and a lovely romantic setting to boot.

午前中にふねにのりましたが、海外からの方が多くクジラが出てくると
のりのりで『イエ〜〜〜〜〜〜イ！！」
私の行った年末年始はまだ序の口のようですがこの後３月くらいまでハワイではザトウくじらが散乱の為に南下してきますからよく見えます。
見張り役の方々とキャプテンがあの辺り！火事を進めて行くと２匹親子で、雄のみなど様々な形態で
潮を吹き尻尾を見せて潜ったり・・・・最後の方は船を追いかけてくぐって行きました。
こんな体験はなかなか出来ませんが、船酔いする方は注意してくださいね

Kohala Coast Sunset Cocktail Cruise (from Hapuna)
Don't expect anything fancy
Reviewed by: chris, 2014/07/10Nice boat ride. If you are looking for a nice romantic dinner with your partner this isn't it. Food was okay and the service was nice enough but nothing fancy in the least. Paper plates and buffet style food. Wouldn't take the trip again but we did enjoy it for what it was,

Kohala Coast Sunset Cocktail Cruise (from Hapuna)
get what you pay for
Reviewed by: Jon, 2014/06/02All in all, this is a fairly inexpensive way to spend an evening in Hawaii and as long as your expectations aren't high you will be OK. I feel that the advertisement grossly exaggerates the experience though.
"Romantic"- nope, not really. Its you and 20 other people crammed onto a motorboat screaming kids and all for an hour ride. Wine is served in plastic Solo cups, nowhere to sit except the floor... did I mention the screaming kids?
"Sail"- nope, not at all. This was my biggest disappointment since we really wanted to go on a sail. Though technically it may classify as a sailboat (and the photos in the ads clearly show a sailboat), there is no mast, no sail. It's just a boat-ride.
"Champagne"-yep, in romantic plastic cups. But it was there.
"Sunset"- this part is true
The staff were quite friendly and helpful, can't comment on the food because I didn't try it but it looked like there was plenty. Didn't see any dolphins or mermaids like some of the other suspiciously positive reviews but can't fault the company for that, it's a matter of luck. They were a little disorganized but not to the point I think it will cause any problems.
It wasn't a bad time, I just felt the title was misleading. And again, for the price it's not a bad deal for Hawaii just don't expect to be floored. You'll be asked to post a positive review, best to just be honest.

Great Night!
Reviewed by: Paul and Karyn, 2014/03/31We were so lucky on this trip, we had the best time! Dinner was really tasty, and there was plenty to eat and plenty to drink. But the highlight was all the whales we saw!! Like I say, we were really lucky....we had whales swimming alongside us, literally for the entire evening...it was surreal! It was a beautiful, calm night. The captain made sure to turn the boat every now and then so that we never lost sight of the sunset. The crew were all really nice, and super helpful. We drank champagne, and stood at the railing and watched the sun set. It was beautiful!!
