Kohala Coast Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with Open-Bar [Apr-Dec]

Amazing Views, Company, Staff! What more could you want?!

Reviewed by: Amanda, 2022/08/30

This experience was incredibly relaxing and objectively beautiful. The staff was incredible, with their insight, attentiveness, and even some local recommendations for the rest of our trip. They even managed to snap a few amazing photos of us. The only question was the check in down the road from the dock, but that was easily figured out! Would recommend to anyone. Far better value than a dinner cruise in my opinion.

Aloha Amanda,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Sunset Cruise. We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the trip and your interactions with our crew. And you're absolutely correct that our check-in location is a few minutes' drive from the boat dock (but we do our best to make sure both locations are easy to find).
We know there are a lot of activities to choose from when you're on the island, and we're honored you chose to spend part of your day with us. Mahalo for sharing that beautiful photo with us too!
Mahalo and a hui hou,

Naalapa Stables Kohala Horseback Riding Tour on Kahua Ranch

Great ride and memory.

Reviewed by: Marie P., 2022/08/28

We did the 1 1/2 hr.& its a great view.The guides were fun. This is not ride in a line, you can spread out and go faster in a few areas. Wear jeans, hats and bring a jacket even if it's hot where you are! It's beautiful, lush and on grazing land for their cattle and sheep. Loved it, and would recommend! Thank you for a great memory!

Kealakekua Bay Morning Snorkeling Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch - Sea Paradise

Great trip!

Reviewed by: TRK, 2022/08/28

A smooth sail and comfortable ride. The crew was very professional and knowledgeable. I didn't think I'd want a pool noodle...but get the pool noodle. It helps alot unless you plan to free dive. The food and drinks were good and sandwiches are fine for a boat trip. Don't expect fine dining. Plenty of room on board, even if you feel it might fill up with guests. The crew was there to keep the boat clean as well. I'd recommend getting there early for parking, as there's only street parking and you might have to walk to get to the launch. Beautiful boat. Enjoyed the trip! Thanks!

Aloha,

Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing your experience with us! We do also agree with taking as many pool noodles as you would like. It's called a "vacation" for a reason. We hope to see you on your next visit to the Big Island! Until then, A Hui Hou and safe travels!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Merritt Hillman, 2022/08/27

My wife and I did this tour on our honeymoon. We come from the Midwest US and have not ever really been able to see many stars hence our booking this trip. The pickup location was convenient, the tour guide friendly and informative, and the experience overall was enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone going to try and book this tour as it was fun and definitely worth it.

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

10/10 Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Mayra Mateo, 2022/08/27

The crew was awesome! They made sure everyone was safe and made accommodations for those that needed it. I hope those that needed a little extra help also appreciate them because they did an amazing job! We saw at least 7 mantas that night. It’s one thing seeing them at the zoo and another snorkeling with them. Towards the last 10 minutes of the session, we had 4 mantas doing flips under our floating matt. It was so mesmerizing! Such beautiful creatures! Would definitely do it again in the future! 10/10

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

美しい海を見下ろす最高の乗馬体験✨

Reviewed by: arielish, 2022/08/24

親族2家族(小学生2名、中学生2名、大人4名)で参加しました。
牧場にはヘルメットが用意されており、それぞれの判断で無料でお借りすることができます。(落馬の可能性があるのでヘルメットは被った方がいいです!)

初めに牧場の方が馬の動かし方や注意事項をざーっと説明してくださいました。(全て英語なので、子供たちには軽く通訳してあげる必要があります。)

その後牧場の方が参加者の体型などから馬を選んでくださり、早速乗馬。日本ではあり得ないと思いますが初心者でも同じように馬に乗り、引馬でもなく、全員牧場の外へ!馬がかなり慣れているので前の馬に続く形で隊列を組んで進みますが馬の性質によっては早く進みたがったりなかなか、進まなかったり。。ということももちろんありました。

途中駆け足に挑戦しよう!と、駆け足チャレンジもあったので小3の子など、振り落とされないか少しドキドキしました。

アメリカならではの大胆なツアーですがとにかく美しい海を見下ろしながらの乗馬はすばらしく、一生の思い出になると思います✨

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Excellent

Reviewed by: EGrE, 2022/08/18

This is an intimate and friendly canoe trip. I enjoyed it with my three kids and the crew was helpful and patient with my littlest one who had never snorkeled. We got an incredible education about the Mantra Rays and saw them within inches of us. I can’t recommitting enough. I really liked having a smaller group and special type of boat.

Overall i would say it's a must-do on the big island.

That particular night was somewhat cold and light on mantas but you get what you get. Crew doesn't control the animals.

Sea Quest Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour & Rafting Sea Cave Expedition

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Laurie H, 2022/08/15

I went on the deluxe snorkeling trip with my husband and five of my young adult children. We all loved it! Captain Steve did a fantastic job showing us sea caves and other interesting sites. We ended up in the midst of a pod of dolphins and saw some pilot whales. For all of us it was our first time snorkeling and Captain Steve and his crew made our first experience incredible. They even helped my son who can’t swim get comfortable with snorkeling using a life vest and noodle so by the second snorkeling stop he was a pro. We saw so many fish, eels, and a few sea turtles. I truly can’t say enough good things about the crew and the whole experience. One of the best of my life! I will definitely return!

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Manta Ray Trip

Reviewed by: Paul, 2022/08/11

Our canoe boat trip was great. We loved the smaller boat experience - only about 12 of us - vs. the big catamarans. The captain and crew of two were friendly and fun. In the water we saw lots of Manta Rays. Our young lady crew member filled us in on lots of info about manta rays while in the water. My son took lots of GoPro videos and images. One hour was just right, since the trip out to the viewing spot only took a few minutes.

Hilo Black Sand Beach Guided Snorkel Tour at Sea Turtle Lagoon

Great snorkel and guide.

Reviewed by: Tim H, 2022/08/10

It was a rainy warm trip but had a lot of fun. Devon was a great guide and although we did not see any turtles we saw plenty of fish and coral. Also learned a lot about the local area and history. Very helpful for getting our son, who is not a strong swimmer and new to snorkeling, into the water. Our guide explained everything very well and emphasized safety and respect for the land, sea and marine life.

Great luau..

Reviewed by: Melissa , 2022/08/08

Overall a great evening. Missing pig ceremony is the only regret.
Dancers and fire workers were all very good.
Wish they would have had table appetizers like a few years ago. They did not offer Lei for purchase. When we asked valet for a Lei they were rude and said for guests only.
Location was pretty but no view of ocean.
Food was nicely presented and tasty.

My husband and I absolutely LOVED this excursion. Our tour guide was so incredibly kind and knowledgable. We loved learning about the history and culture surrounding the mountain during our ascent.

Keauhou Bay Manta Ray Night Dive Tour & Snorkel Adventure from Kona - Sea Quest

Fun Manta Ray Tour

Reviewed by: Yvonne, 2022/08/02

The guides and the captain were all very friendly, knowledgeable, approachable, and helpful, which made the tour extra enjoyable and fun! We saw schools of little fish and minnows right in front of our eyes (they also occasionally ran into our hands and faces) and definitely saw a couple huge manta rays! Overall a fun tour.
Quick tip: wearing the wetsuit helped a lot, as the water got really cold when it got dark, and longer you stay in the water, the colder it gets. Also, would not recommend going the day you get off the plane, as my boyfriend and I got extremely seasick towards the end of the manta ray viewing. However, our guides and the captain gave us many tips on how to feel better and fed us with snacks and drinks.

Thank you for joining us!
We moor in about 25-30 feet of water in order to protect the fragile coral reef. When guests stay near the boat unfortunately the fish are less plentiful in the open water.
During our safety briefing our crew instructs guests to swim closer to shore in about 10-15 feet of water where the coral and fish are plentiful.
