Tour guide and driver, Forrest, was fantastic! His knowledge of the current setting and its history was incredible. I am recommending this tour to anyone visiting the island of Hawaii.

The weather was beautiful that night, but instead of doing it outside next to the ocean as advertised it was in a hotel ballroom.
The food felt like I was at a convention with catered food. They brought up a pig on stage on a wood platter. It looked like it was plastic, plus the meat was already on the table so what we ate is not what they showed. The chicken tasted way more fresh than the kalua pork , the beef was dry. No glass noodles, or anything I would imagine as authentic Hawaiian food.
It was hard to understand the announcer as the sound system was muffled and he mumbled.
I heard other people complain around me as well how bad it was. One guy said, wow, I could have done this better in my backyard. I agree with him. Not worth the price or wasting your time.
Every restaurant we went too was better than this event.

Anyway, they are dedicated to entertaining the guests. It's really fun. There's nothing to worry about.

とにかく、ゲストを楽しませる事に専念して下さいます。
本当に楽しいですよ。
何の心配もないです。

Great atmosphere wonderful staff really good show. The fire guy is the best food was really good. Even the kids buffet was great all seating at an excellent view of the performances good interactive activities with the audience.

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Marc Hughes was really a great guide. He explained so much history of the Hawaiian people and ancestors. Marc is an avid diver and knows the marine life around Hawaii. He can explain a lot about the marine life. He knows the Hawaiian words for so many things. Marc knows a tremendous amount of history. We enjoyed trying great Kona coffee, Volcano national park, black sand beach where Turtles come up, the valley of the kings and so many other sights.

Had an absolutely wonderful time was a little apprehensive about whether or not to do this tour. It is a long tour all day however I wouldn’t change a thing. It absolutely was awesome didn’t even feel like it was 13 hours and it was learned more about the island and the history of the big island that I could possibly have learned anywhere else in a day.

Our driver, Felix was extremely informed patient and of course, a very good driver. To be honest, the driver makes the trip extremely value added. Our driver, Felix takes personal pride and knowing an enormous amount of history and details to be able to not only deliver a good tour guide informational delivery while you’re driving, but is able to answer most questions and yes, even when some of the other clients did some fact checking Felix was spot on on everything that he told us.

This tour is long, but I don’t know of another way that you can actually see so much and learn so much. We went to a coffee farm pastry shop several waterfalls Lookout point a black sand beach so sea turtles saw multiple other wildlife goats, hogs, chickens, ferrets, and the recommendations on things to do places to eat trails to hike. We very much so appreciated.

I would highly recommend this to her to anyone the greatest part about it if you’re writing and not driving, you actually get to see all the beauty that you’re passing up as you drive when you drive you missing an awful lot so let Felix do the driving

This was an absolute dream come true!
Just my husband, myself, awesome trainer Sarah & 2 dolphins Malu & Ipo.
What an education & experience. Something I have dreamed of my entire life & it was more than I ever imagined.
There are not enough words.
Worth every penny!

Entertaining & educational emcee.
Wonderful food.
Very good dancers.

Meixai was very fun & knowledgeable.
Bummed we missed the eruption by just over a day, but that's nature.
Saw many craters & went in a Lava tube.
Again nature thwarted us for the stargazing as the moon was too bright.

Can't believe how many Manta Rays & how close they were.
Crew & woman in the store we're all fantastic.

Excellent trainers bring dolphins right up to you to pet, splash, and swim with. The view of the dolphins underwater is amazing. The power and athletic ability of these amazing creatures is beautiful.

Seeing the Waipi’o Valley was a highlight of an otherwise already amazing week on the big island. The view of the sea cliffs is stunning, but so is the waterfall, river, taro fields, and other beautiful features of this location that you can only see on this tour.
Our guide was remarkably knowledgeable and articulate in sharing his firsthand experience growing up and living in this valley. It was a culturally educational, and aesthetic experience to visit and I would highly recommend it.

After researching several options, we chose the Ultimate Hawaii Circle Island Sightseeing tour from Veltra for our mid-April 2026 trip, and it did not disappoint. Our guide, Marcus, was total pro, wWith 15 years of experience, his knowledge and storytelling made the 10-hour journey fly by.

The Highlights:

1) Coffee Farm: Stunning views and a great tasting session in the gift shop.

2) Punaluu Black Sand Beach: We were lucky enough to see sea turtles basking on the sand!

3) Volcanoes National Park: Seeing the steam vents and the scale of the active volcano was easily the highlight of the day.

4) Rainbow Falls: The best panoramic view is actually from the side of the park; the hike to the top isn't strictly necessary for the best photos.

5) Waipio Valley Lookout: Absolutely breathtaking photo opportunities.

The logistics were seamless with a prompt pickup at 7:20 am from the Fairmont Orchid. While it is a long day covering 2/3 of the island, Marcus kept us entertained throughout. Lunch, dinner, snacks, and water were all provided, making for a stress-free experience. Highly recommended!

My kids, ages 11 and 13, were thrilled with meeting and engaging with several of the dolphins! We were impressed by the care given to them and the expertise of their trainers. We will be taking part in Dolphin Quest upon our next visit.

My kids ages 11 and 13 had a great time learning to surf! Both instructors were friendly and supportive and their personalities put my kids at ease. I appreciated their attentiveness and both girls are excited to return for more lessons.

I had a great time. The weather was nice, so I was able to enjoy myself comfortably outdoors. The show was wonderful too!

楽しかったです。
お天気も良かったので屋外で気持ちよく楽しむことができました。
ショーも素敵でした！

When you pay $250 for a luau, you kind of expect something fabulous and I honestly felt like I bought this on Temu. We got super cheap shell lays, and and parents were letting their kids run everywhere and even standing up and stepping in front of you as you’re trying to take a photo, the visibility was poor from our seat seats. The pork was so dry. The only good thing was the unlimited drinks however the drink selection was limited and so sugary. Honestly, I’ve never wanted my money back so bad in my entire life.

Wow just wow, Shane was our pilot and boy he had a lot of knowledge of the island and for him to give a good answer to everyone's questions was exceptional. The ride was smooth, we felt safe and it was longer than I expected. The views are amazing and beautiful. My grandkids and I truly loved this experience. Shane even let Liam shut the helicopter down once we landed.

This was our 1st time to the big island and this was our 1st time snorkeling. The captain and the crew were all exceptional and pretty funny at times. The vessel was clean and the cruise was smooth. We had 2 areas we stopped to snorkel and get a little history lesson. Breakfast and lunch was very tasty and well timed. Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience for my family.

I can say enough good things about this experience! Everything about it!

A lovely night of cocktails and beautiful weather. Drinks were plentiful and the chicken and rice meal was delicious

It was my first horseback riding experience, and it was an incredibly fun time. We started with a thorough lecture on horseback riding, including how to get on and off the horse and how to handle the reins. I was amazed at how quickly I could control my horse after riding!

We lined up and trotted along, crossing fields and hills until we reached the entrance of a waterfall, where we dismounted and went down some stairs to a cottage by the waterfall. Unfortunately, due to a recent storm, the wild waterfall was flowing with cold brown water! We quickly gave up on playing in the water.

We spent about 30 minutes at the riverside cottage eating snacks and our lunch before riding back. On the way back, we felt the roundness of the Earth from a hill that was different from the way there, passing through a cattle ranch. I was surprised to see the horses munching on banana leaves along the way. A little dog named Kizumo accompanied us cutely, which was very soothing.

There were three of us participating (a couple in their 50s and an 8-year-old), and this became the best memory of our trip to the Big Island. It's not accessible without a rental car, but I definitely want to recommend it to my friends. I also want to thank our experienced instructors, Lee and Jamie. Thank you very much! ^_^

初の乗馬体験でしたが最高に楽しい体験ができました。
最初にしっかりと乗馬のレクチャーがあり、
馬への乗り方おり方、手綱の操作の仕方などなど。乗馬した後に自分の馬をすぐコントロールできたのは感動もの！
一列に並んでトコトコと、野を超え丘をこえ滝入り口で一旦馬から降り階段を降りて滝のほとりのコテージへ。。残念ながら最近のストームでワイルドな滝のたもとは茶色の冷たい水！ざっと入ってすぐ水遊びは断念。
３０分位川辺のコテージで手持ちのお菓子やお弁当を食べて再び乗馬して帰路へ。行きとは違った地球の丸さを感じられる丘からウシ牧場を抜けて戻ります。途中、馬たちがバナナの葉っぱをバリバリ食べたのにはびっくり。道中、小犬のキズモが可愛く付き添うのにも癒されます。親子3人（50代夫婦と８歳児）参加でしたが今回のビックアイランドの１番の思い出になりました。レンタカーがないとアクセスできないのですが、ぜひ友人にも勧めたいとおもいます。経験豊富なインストラクターのリーさんとジェイミーさんお二人にも感謝です。ありがとうございました^_^

Seeing the sun set above the cloud line is a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Fernando, made the night that much more enjoyable with the knowledge (and parkas) he shared. After the spectacular sun set we went further down the mountain to star gaze. The telescope he had was amazing, and it was super cool to see so many, and different, stars we see at home. This was a 10 out of 10 experience and I would highly recommend it..

Wonderful ride and day! Patricia and Kaleo guided us through a beautiful ranch!! Great horses! Jack & Liz

I was moved by how many times the manta rays passed by nearby. It's close to the pier, and since you just float, even children can easily participate.

何回も近くをマンタが通ってくれ感動しました。桟橋から近いし、浮いてるだけなので子供でも簡単に参加できます。

We had a great time. Good food and drinks and entertainment. It did take some time to get started but overall great experience!

My friend and I had a great time. Ronson was great knew all about the ranch and the habitat. I loved the ponds with fish to use for fertilizer. The ocean view was awesome and we did a couple whales. Thanks so much for a great ride.

We moved to a spot where we could see manta rays while watching the sunset. Since a staff member who spoke Japanese accompanied us, I felt at ease. While floating around during snorkeling, a manta ray suddenly appeared right below me. It got so close that I could almost reach out and touch it, and I was extremely excited!

夕日を見ながらマンタの見えるポイントへ移動。日本語の話せるスタッフが同行してくれたので、安心。シュノーケリングでぷかぷか浮いていると突然真下にマンタが出現。手を伸ばせば触れそうな距離まで接近で大興奮でした。

I loved this zipline experience! I took a friend with me, and we had such an amazing time. The instructors were so funny and down to earth. Amazing views over the waterfall.

I from the Mid-West so seeing a dolphin was never on my bingo card so I thought! This establishment was great and so helpful. The pictures were amazing and I will never forget the experience!
