This was such an awesome experience! The sunset was beautiful being that high up and the stargazing was amazing. It was our favorite experience on the island. Our guide Gage was so great! He was so knowledgeable on the island, the history there and the stargazing. He also helped us feel comfortable and safe on the drive up and back down. We highly recommend this experience!

Tour Guide was an enthusiast, patient, native who shared culture, history, science, jokes and Hawaiian myths and songs. You can't ask for more from a guide. Try to book for a moonless night for best view of stars. They use an automated 11 inch telescope. The food was surprisingly very good (vegetable lasagna), the brownie decadent and the hot chocolate and biscotti at the end a nice touch. Had an issue finding the pick up spot, but a phone call resolved this since we were close. If you miss the sign for the international market (if that's your pick up spot), look for the 76 gas station, enter there and drive to the back. Dress warmly and bring a refillable drink. Cold (but not terribly) even with the given parka and gloves. A very enjoyable 8 hour afternoon & evening l

The islander Breeze Luau was everything we expected and more. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that Covid restrictions were in place and the experience was not compromised. Each party had their own table that was 6 feet apart. The food was fantastic and fresh! The drinks were good as well! And the star of the show was the music, dancers and the master of ceremonies! They all really put their aloha into the show! Thank you for a great experience.

This was a rally fantastic trip. Be prepared because this trip is over 10 hours. (We ran closer to 11) and requires a lot of walking. That being said, the day was EXCELLENT. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely do it again.

I give the music snd dancing all the credit. It was a wonderful show. My impression of the food was it was just ok. Maybe we just don’t like Hawaiian
Food but thanks for trying. The deserts were soggy and lacked flavor. For the total experience, this was way over priced and disappointing.I don’t think I would recommend this luau to my friends due to the food.

Ty, Mike, and our captain were great hosts for our sunset cruise! They were all so friendly and always made sure we had a drink in our hand. The catamaran itself was easy to get around and very clean. The crew even offered to take some photos for us as well. Drinks were great, views were great, and overall added a special evening to our Hawaii trip.

This was by far one of the best places to go with ATVs. My husband and I have been all over the states and always ride ATVs and this was one we will always remember. Luckily we came after it rained and it was so muddy and perfect conditions for muddin!! There wasn't an inch on our bodies that wasn't covered in mud and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend this! The waterfall part was adorable and worth getting in the freezing water.

Really enjoyed this experience, the manta rays even touched me!
You can bring your own GoPro but it might be hard to film and hold on at the same time. You're not swimming, you're horizontally floating with a pool noodle at your ankles and your hands gripping a light bar that attracts plankton upon which the mantas feast.
It can get cold when you're in the water, so don't be afraid to bring dive boots, gloves, and your own wetsuit. You'll get a shorty top only and I was pretty chilly, even for a New Englander!

This experience was unreal! Dominic was our guide and he was fabulous throughout. We got to go to the top of the worlds tallest mountain, Mauna Kea, to watch the sunset. When we got up there we had some time to walk around and look at the landscape/telescopes. After that, we watched the sunset and Dominic took photos of us. Once the sun set, we went down the mountain a bit for stargazing. Dominic and the other guide, Hiro, set up and telescope so we could see Saturn and then Hiro gave a great talk on all of the stars. It was absolutely breathtaking! You could see so many stars, planets and the Milky Way! It’s also freezing up there but the tour provides gloves, winter coats and ski pants. This is an absolute must do!

I participated with my partner. Our guide, Noni, was kind, very friendly, and we had a fun kayaking and snorkeling experience. Jumping from the cliff was also enjoyable. We took a lot of photos. It truly became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again next time. I recommend getting a good night's sleep the day before. It might be a bit hard for kayaking beginners, but I didn't have any muscle soreness the next day.
パートナーと2人で参加しました。ガイドのノニさんが親切かつとてもフレンドリーで楽しいカヤック&シュノーケル体験が出来ました。崖上からのジャンプも楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮って頂きました。本当良い思い出になりました。次回もぜひ参加したいです。参加前の日はしっかり睡眠を取ることをお勧めします。カヤック初心者には少しハードかもですが、次の日の筋肉痛とかはありませんでした。

We decided on this luau -from many- because they were family friendly and the other reviews. They were right, we had a blast. The staff were so accommodating to my daughter (1.5yo). She loved the show and even tried to Hula. We were also celebrating my moms 77th birthday and she loved it too. The best buffet of hawaii's essential plates and desserts too. I would definitely would go back.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour required wearing masks, but it was fine to take them off while horseback riding. There were guides in front and behind us, so we could hear explanations even from the back. When a car came, we guided the horses to the side of the road, and it was quite well done. We also got to let the horses drink water from a stream, which made it feel like we were taking care of them, and it was a lot of fun. The wonderful scenery of Waipi'o Valley has become an unforgettable memory.
コロナ禍もありマスク着用でのツアーとなりましたが乗馬時にはマスクを外して大丈夫でした。ガイドさんが前後に1人ずつ付いてくれて後ろの方でも説明を聞くことが出来ました。途中で車が来た時には道の端に馬を誘導するのですが結構上手に出来たり小川でお水を飲ませてあげたりとちょっとお世話してる感もあって楽しかったです。ワイピオキャニオンの素晴らしい景色は忘れられないものとなりました。
