Had a fantastic time on the tour. Great guides! ATV part had beautiful views, drove through mud stopped and saw the waterfall for pictures. Walked down to the falls to swim, jumped in the water from the small cliff, the water was a perfect. Had snacks at the falls.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Grand Circle Island Tour. We had the opportunity to visit so many different parts of the island and experience the true beauty of the Big Island. The tour was well planned and Neil was an amazing host!
I definitely recommend that all visitors try this tour at least once!

The site for the luau was gorgeous. The food was excellent. We couldn't see the show at all because we were in the back and had kids , although none of us could see it. We left early. We haven't gotten our pictures because we didn't get a chance to do it quick enough. The old method of bringing to the guests was better.

The Kealakekua Snorkel Tour is very well-organized. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the bay, which is incredibly beautiful. The staff on the boat are very friendly and provide support and assistance when needed. The coral and tropical fish in the bay are stunning, and it's very easy to observe the underwater scenery.

I participated alone during my stay in Hilo. It was great to find a Mauna Kea tour departing from Hilo, as they are not easy to come by. The scenery while driving through Mauna Kea felt like I had arrived in another world. The sunset and the evening glow were wonderful. The starry sky was also breathtaking, with the Scorpius and the Southern Cross clearly visible. I'm not good at English, so I listened to the guide's talk while translating it with a translation app. It was a tour that nature lovers would absolutely enjoy.
ヒロに滞在中に一人で参加しました。
ヒロ発のマウナケアのツアーがなかなかなくて、
見つけられて良かったです。
マウナケアの懐を走っている時の景色は、
地球外に来たのではないかと思ってしまうような異空間でした。
また、サンセット、からの夕焼けは素晴らしかったです。
そして星空も、さそり座や南十字星が綺麗に見えて感動しました。
英語が苦手で、ガイドさんのトークは翻訳アプリで翻訳しながら聞いていました。
自然好きにはたまらないツアーでした。

This was my second time doing this and it was amazing both times! This time I took my 3-year-old grandson. He was excited up until it was time to get in the water. He started crying and wanting mommy and though she was there she wasn’t planning to get in the pool (I hadn’t paid for her). Anyways, the trainer saw how upset he was and asked him if he wanted to hear the dolphin fart. He stopped crying and watched as she proceeded to make the dolphin make a fart sound. She then offered to let him do it and he did which made him laugh. He then decided the dolphin was pretty cool and ended up petting her and feeding her too. It was so fun spending that time with him and I can’t wait to do it again when my granddaughter is old enough.
Aloha- we are so thrilled that you enjoyed the program so much that you have returned to share the experience with other generations. We love that! Also, happy that the trainer was able to break the ice with your grandson, so that he was able to become comfortable to enjoy it as you do. Mahalo. See you when you bring your granddaughter.

It feels like you can enjoy your meal while watching. The variety and amount of food and drinks are just right. With Alii Seat, you get priority entry and can grab the buffet first, and the staff at your table quickly ask for your drink orders and bring them to you. The show isn't flashy, but you can enjoy it casually while eating and drinking. If you don't understand English, you'll just have to enjoy the atmosphere.
食べながら見るという感じですが食べ物、飲み物の種類と量もちょうど良い感じです。
Alii Seatだと優先的に入れてブッフェも先に取れるし飲み物もテーブル担当の方が直ぐに聞いて持って来てくれます。
ショーは派手さはないですけど飲み食いしながら気楽に楽しめる感じです。
英語がわからなければ雰囲気で楽しむしかないですけど。

This tour was fun. Stupid fun. Like crazy, muddy, stupid fun! 10 out of 10 would recommend. We had a beautiful day with juuust enough rain to keep the mud nice and soft and sticky with a few big, slick puddles to splash through. Can't recommend this experience enough!
Bring clothing you don't mind getting dirty. Really, really dirty. And wet. You get the opportunity to hike down to a gorgeous, waterfall-fed pool for some swimming.
The guides were friendly and fun and we had a blast. The property is stunning and there are showers available for after the ride; bring a change of dry, clean clothes!

We participated with two adults and two children aged 10 and 9. We set sail on two boats in pairs of adults and children. It was fulfilling to see the caves made of volcanic rock and to go snorkeling in the coral reefs. I would like to try it again.

During this season, they appear in various places, so we were able to see them from all directions on the boat. Along the way, they submerged a microphone in the water, allowing us to hear the whales' calls.
Baby whales frequently jump, so if you can identify the area where they seem to be, you can stand by and catch a glimpse of them jumping. However, for safety reasons, they maintain a certain distance, so you can only see them from relatively far away. It would be good to have binoculars; I brought a 10x pair and was able to see quite well.
To board the boat, you take a small boat from the sandy beach and transfer to a larger boat a little offshore. Flip-flops or going barefoot is recommended. On the boat, you can get drinks (canned juice or Mai Tai) and snacks (chips). There is no shade on the boat, so make sure to take precautions against sunburn. The interior of the boat isn't very spacious, so it's best to keep your luggage to a minimum. Most people were nearly empty-handed except for their smartphones.
時期的にあちこちで出現しますので、船の全方向で見ることが出来ました。
途中、マイクを海中に沈め、クジラの鳴き声も聞かせてくれます。
子鯨が頻繁にジャンプしますので、大体あの辺にいそう、というのを見極めてスタンバイしてるとジャンプなど見れます
ただ、安全のため一定の距離は取っているので比較的遠くでしか見ることはできません
望遠鏡などあると良いと思います。私は10倍のものですが、持参してよく見ることが出来ました。
船の乗船は砂浜から小さなボートにのり、少し沖にある船に乗り換えます。
ビーサン、裸足がオススメです。
船ではドリンク(缶ジュースか、マイタイ)、スナック(チップス)がもらえます。
船上は日除無いので日焼け対策はしっかりしましょう。
船内もそんなに広く無いので荷物は最小限にした方がいいです。
みなさんスマホ以外ほぼ手ぶらでした。
私たちに参加していただきありがとうございます!オーシャンスポーツを選んでいただき光栄です。クジラウォッチクルーズをお楽しみください!

The atv was basically a track on a large piece of property- nice view but guess we had expected a ride to woods to a waterfall. The waterfall view is best from the gift shop but it was fun to swim in their river. Didn’t feel like we were really out in nature.
My husband wanted to go faster on the atv- but it was fine for me as a newbie and more cautious person. The guides were very nice. It was overall ok- but very pricey for the experience we thought.
