Well worth the price for this kind of experience! My wife and I have been on several different helicopter flights before in NY, San Fran, and Australia ... but seeing volcanic activity from a helicopter is more than just beautiful scenery it was breathtaking. I felt like we were on another planet at times. Thank you thank you thank you!

My daughter,two grand daughters and myself chose the combined package of a trip on the Atlantis submarine and the 2 hour helicopter tour on our first visit to Hawaii big island in March.
We did the Atlantis trip first and were completely blown away by it. The staff were friendly and accommodating and made everyone feel comfortable and safe before we even boarded the boat to take us out to the submarine. Everything ran efficiently and on time and we saw some amazing sights as we slid down to 100 feet and circled coral islands beneath the waves. The commentary was very informative and the pilot made sure that everyone got a good view of the many varieties of reef fish that were out there.
I would highly recommend this activity as it is so different from anything else most of us get to do in a lifetime.
We did our helicopter trip the following day and that too was very well organized. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the helipad by a very friendly lady who shared with

This experience was the highlight of our time on the Big Island. The whales and dolphins were amazing and the crew was lots of fun!

...about to this cruise. My children and I utterly loved this tour and I just want to thank the unforgettable crew members who made this trip a highlight of our vacation. From the moment we stepped onto the boat until we stepped off, it was an absolute pleasure.
Hearing my children's sounds of joy when they saw their first whale breach from the water is something that I will remember always.

TOTALLY AMAZING! When my friends and I saw this tour we were like, "Hmmm, whale watching? Sure why not!" and I am so glad that we decided to go. The boat was great, the view was priceless and seeing humpback whales jumping and slapping the water is something that I will never forget...ever. Like what a great memory to bring back home with me. Take this tour! You won't regret it!

Wish we brought the kids, they would have had a blast!! In any case it was our first time to the Big Island and this was a super good time. I'm guessing it's the same crew, but the afternoon sail crew was just lovely. Highly Recommended!!!

We were blown away from the start to finish,the magnificance of the island is just unique starting from the hot arid black volcanic rock through to the volcanoe itself and then the beautiful coast on the hilo side to the luscious green valleys of the kings.
We went as a famiy and my children aged 12 and 13 were just as amazed.
Our pilot was great taking us in circles with a running commentry throughout the trip and hovering so that all of us would have plenty of time and sight of everything and plenty of time for photos although they never seem to do it justice.It was certainly the way to see a vast majority of the island,and as much at first glance of the price may make one a little hesitant it was worth every cent.
The only thing that was a bit expensive is getting out to the site itself costing around $90.00 Australian Dollars each way but that may be less if hiring a car or going as a group.Having said that I really dont think that after the experience it will really matter.

「ディナークルーズ」というのでもっと大きな船かと思っていたら、ヨットだった。
結構揺れた。
天気はよかったので、サンセット、火山の景色は最高によかった。
バイキングの料理は、ウェブに記載されたものとは全く違った。まずくはなかったが、船上でレタスの入ったサラダを食べようとすると、すべて風に舞った。
でもコストを考えるとこんなもんだろうし、不満ではない。
スタッフは、明るく、親切だった。
帰りの海岸から送迎バスまでを迷ってしまった。
迷っていたらマリオットホテルに着いたので、そのままキングズマーケットでショッピングした。迷ったことを旅デスクに電話したら、「送迎バスは、そんなに心配はしませんよ」とのこと。これがハワイらしいおおらかさのようだ。
ハワイ島でサンセットは5回見たが、すべて違う感じであった。
別オプションのレストランテラス席で食事しながらサンセットを見るほうがよかった。

The Snorkel Cruise was one of our top two activities. We very much enjoyed the cruise out to the Black Sand Beach. We saw some whales along the route. We enjoyed the snorkeling even more. This was our first ocean snorkeling cruise experience. We had snorkeled a little bit over the years but no where with as much color and marine life. Highly recommended whether you have snorkeled or not. The staff is very helpful and seem to enjoy their job. (if you can call that a job). Makes it a great experience. Very convenient launch from the Waikoloa Marriot. Very nice for us because that is where we stayed. Others were shuttled there and I am sure that was no problem either. Nice activity. Would do again.

It was just soooo cool. The Big Island is very big, and I think the helicopter ride is the only way to see most of the island. Do this tour!

We just came back from our honeymoon in the Big Island. We took this whale watch trip, and I must say this was by far the most enjoyable sailing trip we did in Hawaii. Being Discovery Channel lovers, we were so excited to see the real whales in front of us! We can't wait to go back there someday. Five stars!

We had an enjoyable evening cruising the Kahola coastline. The weather and water were beautiful if only there hadn't been a few clouds on the horizon at sunset it would have been the Hawaiian Dream come true. We highly recommend this trip to all of our friends.

Very good time. Initailly seemed a little unorganized, but once we were on the boat, things got a lot better. The staff was very friendly, funny, and knowledgable. The food was amazing and we even had seconds! A couple on the same cruise was re-newing their wedding vows after 30 years and the staff really made it special for them. A great time and a beautiful sunset.

I am sure it was my error in not reading the "Sunset Sail" part. We had thought that we had booked a sunset dinner cruise. Instead it was a sail boat! It was still an enjoyable experience, especially since we did take Dramamine before boarding. LOL However, for the person with sea legs it would be a great thing to experience.

we started early in the morning and they were waiting to pick us @ prince lobby BIG Island. This being the first time, we were very eager to start with the ride. Crew was very polite and we had lot of fun all the time in the ride. They showed us beautiful valleys,active volcanoes, water falls, forests ..mountains. It was awesome and the sceneries are beautiful. A rainbow follwed for a while and we could also see a whale resting with her calf on the shore. It was amazing.I would definetely suggest this to my frieds. But be prepared for the price. I also feel that amount paid worth it.
