This was a great trip, seeing the views from 13,000 feet, watching the sunset above the clouds, and the star gazing with a knowledgeable guide, all made for an awesome trip.

We arrived early some did not which put us behind.
Please please wear the right kind of clothes to ride a horse.
Not a dress and heels.
Beautiful ride horses healthy and well taken care of.
Our guides were awesome very knowledgeable of area and great conversation.
I wish there was more time at waterfall.
So pretty
It rained on the way back and being from The desert it was so fun.
I would definitely go again.

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. The dinner provided was delicious. The sunset on the summit and the stargazing was other worldly. We will never forget it!

Wes and his partner did an awesome job. Wes was very professional and gave alot of information about the tour and the history of Hawaii. His partner is an amazing photographer. I would highly recommend this tour company

Great knowledgeable guide, Fernando made the long drive up to the summit with a bunch of volcano facts and stories about the Hawaiian history. Absolutely breathtaking views at sunset in the summit. Followed by stargazing, we were told about and shown all the constellations, saw some shooting stars, the Milky Way and Saturn

I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to do a fun and exciting ATV tour of the Waipio Valley. The tour guides were excellent. They took all the time to explain everything about the 750 acre property, the Waipio Valley, the ocean, the animals, etc. The ATV's were in great working order. We had no issues at all with them. The guides kept us safe at all times but we had a lot of fun!

This experience is hard to express in words. I definitely want you to see the sunset and the starry sky with your own eyes. The staff were great at explaining things, kind, funny, skilled at taking photos, and very helpful when I needed assistance. Thank you for a wonderful and enjoyable memory.

この感動は言葉ではなかなか言い表せません。是非サンセット&満天の星を自分の目で見てほしいです。そしてスタッフさんは説明が上手い、優しい、面白い、写真が上手い、困った時に親切に対応してくれる素敵な方々でした。とても楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

Great time! We were four - My two teenage kids, my wife, and I. We loved it! Great guides. Very Safe. Great Views and wonderful vegetation. My wife was a little nervous before we went, but absolutely loved it. There are 7 zip lines and each one gets a little more adventurous.

Would highly recommend.

The staff were really kind. It’s a tour that is friendly to Japanese people as well. I learned a lot about constellations. I would like to use this service again.

スタッフさんが本当に親切でした。日本人にも優しいツアーです。星座についてすごく詳しくなりました。また利用したいです。

The zip team was great! They are confident with what they are doing. Location and the falls were awesome! Great job you guys!

The whole experience was great from start to finish! The guides and driver were kind, hospitable, very funny and knowledgeable about the history of the area and most importantly, zip lining! The course lines get increasingly longer as you progress, so I felt very comfortable with zip lining by the time I was going for longer distances and higher heights. The views of the waterfalls were breathtaking and the absolute best way to see these beautiful sites. This was a 10/10 for me!

We had a wonderful time hiking the Big Island's Kilauea Volcano! Our guide was very informative, patient, and willing to answer our many questions. Part way through our hike, we sat along the rim and ate a lovely lunch provided by our guide. We would recommend taking part of this hiking adventure to fully appreciate Kilauea!

Emma and Riley were great guides. VERY funny and knowledgeable! Omg the waterfall is insane to zip over!!!

Marcus was a very knowledgeable astronomer and answered any question our group asked.

This trip was so much more than I expected! We started with a quick tour of rainbow falls and boiling pots. our guide Marcus was exceptionally knowledgeable about the plant life and history of both places. We then explored the lava caves, which was an unforgettable experience. Finally, we got to watch a beautiful sunset, followed by stargazing. I can’t believe how much astronomy I learned in one night. The skies were spectacular and once again Marcus seemed to have an endless fund of knowledge, answering all our questions in detail. The trip was unforgettable and Marcus is clearly a great asset to his company!

Our tour guide Dreu started our 12 hours together by telling us to set our expectations low. It was scheduled to be a rainy day but this is not what anyone wants to hear at the start of a long day you’ve paid hundreds per person to enjoy. The tour made all the promised stops. The coffee farm was interesting and everyone in our group enjoyed the hot box lunch. The bakery stop was too short considering how busy it was but everyone did have time to purchase something. The time in Volcano National Park was mostly whiteout due to rain. You could not see much during the first 2 hours there but the lava tube was great. I would warn others it is a steep incline on slippery steps to view it. Dreu is full of information but he did not share in an organized way. Hid commentary was scattered and jumped around making it hard to follow. Dinner was at Lava Rock Cafe and was average. They seemed short staff so very slow to get served. Dreu did great job anticipating our needs for bathroom breaks and provided motion sickness chews, rain gear, snacks, and drinks. He was not mindful of those with back or neck problems when he drove fast over speed bumps on the park yelling “hold on in the back!” I feel bad for anyone in our group with these problems as the van bounced and jarred us around each time he did this. The best part of the trip was last hour in park when we were able to do the twilight volcano viewing to see the red lava glow. Due to clouds we did not get to do stargazing and tour ended an hour early. Overall everyone in group was disappointed with this tour because of how dependent it is on the weather. If you get a day with rain or clouds, you will feel cheated out of most of what you signed up to see.

The staff was friendly and fun to be around. I really liked the conversation, stories shared about Hawaiian history, and the dramatic views of the ocean and cliffs. Can't wait to come back for another ride.

A tour that allows you to fully enjoy your travel day to the Big Island.
Due to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, Japanese tourists stopped coming, and they switched to English tours in 2019. However, the guide was Japanese, so if you have any questions during the several breaks, you can ask in Japanese and they will kindly explain. The guide engages with you. I was able to properly learn about the constellations for the first time. It was fun.

武漢コロナパンデミックで日本人が来なくなって、2019年に英語ツアーに変えたそうです。ただしガイドは日本人だったので、わからなかったところは途中休憩が数回あるので、その際に日本語で聞けば丁寧に教えてもらえます。ガイドが話しかけてくれる。星座の説明はじめてちゃんと教えてもらえた。楽しかった。

I was impressed with the safety measures taken by the staff for the ATV ride. The waterfall swim was very short, not nearly enough time given for this part of the activity. No safety measures taken for the swim. Rocks were slick - there should be a ladder or some way to enter and exit the water that does not put participants in danger of slipping. The trip down to the waterfall and then back up is somewhat physically taxing and should only be undertaken by physically fit persons.

We really enjoyed our adventure with Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour. Our guide, Maka, was excellent: entertaining, polite, knowledgeable, etc. He was extremely quick and calm when responding to a high altitude emergency when we reached our high altitudes. I was impressed with the Veltra company with their constant updates, emails reminders, and phone call reminder. I gave "Good" review because it was very cloudy and the star gazing was limited. I would book through this company again and I would do this tour again too.

This was our first trip to the Big Island, so of course we wanted to see the summit at Mauna Kea. Our tour guide was Justin- and he was tremendous. He met at pickup location a couple minutes early. He provided a clear outline of what the day would include- and he held to it very closely. On the way to our first stop, He provided a great narration of the volcanic and mythological history of the island. After dinner (and acclimating to elevation for a while) we headed further up the mountain- the safety discussion was very calming, but helpful. The view from the summit was SPECTACULAR. About 10-15 minutes before the actual sunset, sneak to the back side of the area up there, and the SHADOW of Mauna Kea on the clouds looks like another mountain. I am fairly well-travelled, and this was a first for me! After that, we went down to the Start gazing station, and got to see some really cool stuff. Justin's knowledge was superb, enough to engage with a couple college students in our group that studied Astronomy at school. Very impressive. Truly, a great way to see a unique and beautiful piece of the Big Island! Many thanks!

Stefan is a cool guide and got us safely up and down Mauna Kea. It was very cold so I appreciated the ski pants as I came with my own gear and it wasn't enough. The night we ascended was very cloudy so unfortunately no stargazing for us but I mainly wanted to see the telescopes and that was otherworldly. Stefan gave some interesting facts about the telescopes that was appreciated and we got lucky to speak with one of the NASA scientists while up there. There was no rush and we were allotted plenty of time to take pictures and take breaks as the altitude will creep up on you. We were told we'd be refunded $100 for the cloudy skies and I received the refund a couple days later. The sandwich wasn't the best but it was appreciated while up there.

James is an awesome tour guide. Amazing views of the Milky Way and many many stars and celestial groups. They provided parkas and a ride. This exceeded all expectations. James is a wealth of knowledge and could have talked for days.

We had so much fun on the single riders. Our instructors were so amazing! They truly cared about our experience and making it fun for us. The customer service and overall experience was unforgettable and so worth it. Our favorite experience on the island!

Could not have been a better tour! Star gazing was phenomenal! Thanks Aaron for a tour to remember! Chet and Marge Sarasota Florida

The tour guide is awesome, friendly, easygoing and very considerate.

Julie was a great guide and we loved Scottie and Baby Bear were great.

There were several cancellations so we ended up with a private tour! Our guide was excellent in sharing the workings of the ranch and also of Hawaiian culture and history! We loved the time he took to tell us many stories of Hawaii and more.

This was a fantastic tour to the Summit. Stephan, tour guide, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He even took pics for us on his own camera to share with us. This is not to be missed when you are on the Big Island. Highly recommend!

Great tour with both farm and ocean view. Slow-paced UTV drive with great views. Our guide is helpful and made sure we are comfortable operating the UTV.
