Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Experience of a lifetime

Reviewed by: Leah , 2017/12/24

This tour was life changing for me! Such an awesome experience to really see the island and have someone guide you through it so you really understand what you're seeing and the history behind it.

Tour guide was Chris who was excellent. He has a real gift for this, and you can tell he is truly passionate and loves what he does. Makes the tour feel more real and less like show and tell or reading from a script. 10/10 highly recommended tour.

Tour provides you with all the comforts you need for the day so you're never hungry, cold, or unsure of where a clean bathroom is. Even had plugs for you to charge your phone although I had a portable charger with me that day which I recommend for any trip.

Sunshine Helicopters Kohala Coast Waterfalls & Waipio Valley Flight

The coolest thing we did on our trip!!

Reviewed by: Jill, 2017/12/10

Soooo glad we did this - it was well worth the cost! It will be something all of us remember forever for sure. The flight itself was so beautiful - seeing all those huge waterfalls and pools they create that we would’ve never been able to see any other way. The valley’s and the cliffs on the ocean side looked spectacular too especially from the helicopter!! The flight was so comfortable and fun.. felt secure but also got a kick out of the ride of it! Our pilot (Bo) was awesome - played great music and told us interesting historical info about the different areas we were seeing. Really nothing could be better!!

Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist

Informative!

Reviewed by: Scott Reimer, 2017/11/20

My girlfriend broke her ankle trying to go snorkeling so going again was out for us. The next best thing or better even was this tour; Kat, our guide, answered every one of our questions and it was super fun! We saw all kinds of critters and fish and it felt like you were under the waves yourself! Clear and colorful! I’d do it again, and the price was the most reasonable of all the activities we’ve tried so far on the Big Island ;)

Lots to see!
Lots to learn!
Fun!
Great tour!

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Recommend this tour.

Reviewed by: LJKouri, 2017/11/15

This tour is very informative. You get to see black sand, volcanoes, waterfalls, and more. Our driver/guide was excellent.
There was more walking than indicated on the website, including climbing lots of stairs. Therefore I was not able to see some of the sites. But if you don't have any mobility issues, I recommend this tour.

ハワイ島　ジップライン8本　ワールド・ボタニカル・ガーデンの中を滑走！＜英語インストラクター＞

初ジップライン

Reviewed by: ディー, 2017/10/16

スタッフは皆さん明るく親切でした。青い空の下、森の上を滑走する感じが気持ちよかったです。ただ、予約した回が、おそらく、マックスの参加人数で、新しいジップラインに行くたびにかなり待たされました。1時間から1時間半、と言われていましたが、2時間近くかかりました。
でも、風景も楽しめたから、良かったかな？かなり年配のアメリカ人のおばあちゃまも初挑戦されていて、家族で楽しめるジップラインでした。

Reviewed by: Renee, 2017/08/07

A great zipline course -- especially for young kids and first timers. Staff is organized, nice and safety focused. Terrain is tropical lush, with ziplines in close proximity to one another. We enjoyed it so much, we would have re-booked in next tour if it wasn't closing time!

Big Island Circle Tour

Reviewed by: Linda, 2017/07/27

Our driver and tour host presented us with a very interesting and colorful history of the Big Island. He had a great sense of humor too! He paced the trip on the attendees, when there was an obvious interest in an area. This tour is a good for those wanting to get a broad acquaintance with the Big Island and it's various areas and interests. It was our springboard for other activities!

World Botanical Gardens 8-line Zipline Canopy Adventure with Free Photos

Good first time zipline

Reviewed by: Sam, 2017/06/27

Went with my wife and sister, it's easy to find and has parking available. The staff is friendly and helpful. The zipline course itself is through beautiful landscapes and a small valley with a river at the bottom. Overall if you have ziplined before in treetops this course won't be as exciting for you. I would still recommend for the views and to those who haven't done ziplining before.

A "Grand" Tour

Reviewed by: Staci S., 2017/06/27

This was a great tour for our first full day on the island. Kala , our guide, was a world of information about all things Hawaiian! He was so excited to show us turtles on the black sand beach, lava at the volcano,and beautiful Waipio Valley. He gave us great ideas on where the best burgers and the most delicious malasadas on the island where...and yes we went back to try them ! It was a long day, but as others had commented before me, it flew by!

Tour Guide was great!!!!!! Great Value!

Would suggest that you have passengers switch seats during the tour. Unfortunately we get the back seats and the viewing is not as good as the seats further towards the front. Also it was harder to talk to the guide from back there. Might be nice if halfway thru the tour everyone switch seats.

Hawaii Zipline Tours - Big Island Waterfall & Rainforest Zip Adventure

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Reviewed by: Dawn Weston, 2017/05/19

We had a total of 8 in our group, and did this tour on 5/9/17. The guides were very helpful and did a god job in making you feel comfortable on the lines especially for us first timers. The views were undescribable. Make sure to really just enjoy the ride and not fuss too much with your camera or phone because you will miss all the beautiful scenery. It can take away from the experience. You get to see a lot of banana trees and even try some right off the tree. It was by far one of the best things we did while visiting. A must do activity!

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Island Tour.

Reviewed by: Maryann, 2017/01/11

We did the Circle Island Tour, small group tour which was fantastic. I cannot say enough about this tour. It was approx. 11.5 hours but the day flew by. Our driver Kevin was amazing and informed us about everything. It was a maximum 12 people which made it very enjoyable. Our lunch break we stopped at an Orchid shop and our driver had picked us up Bento Boxes, it was delicious. We saw everything from waterfalls, rain forest, black sand beach, lava tubes, lava fields, and volcanoes and so much more. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Well worth the money.
Thank you for the great tour.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
ちょうど、日本人の通訳さんが働き始める前の体験中でした。これからこちらで働くそうなので、英語が分からない人でも通訳さんをお願いすれば大丈夫になると思います。
参加者は子供から大人までいろいろ。
アメリカ本土から親子3世代（おじいちゃん、おばあちゃんから孫まで）で、そろって参加していた方もいたので、年齢問わず楽しめると思います。
最初のジップが、初めてで慣れないうえに高さがあってちょっと怖かったですが、後は楽しめました。
私は高いところがそんなに得意ではないですが、大丈夫でした。
時期的に雨が降って肌寒い日が続いていて、海のレジャーは全然ダメだったのですが、そんなときの山のレジャーとしてやってみたら、とても楽しかったです。
