King Kayak Hawaii - Keauhou Bay Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour
Kayaking delight
Activity Date: 2021/05/18 | Posted on: 2021/05/20

Kevin was our guide for our two hour tour and he was great! He was very professional and made us feel at ease right away. We learned so much fun and had fun at the same time.

Kailua-Kona Sunset Cocktail with Free Drinks - Honi Olani Catamaran
Sunset cruise
Activity Date: 2021/05/13 | Posted on: 2021/05/19

I cannot recommend this sunset cruise enough. The crew of Captain Kirk and staff were exceptional. During this cruise the vessel encored some mechanical issues, which promoted a slightly longer cruise. The crew were nothing short of professional and comforting in managing this issue, as well as utilizing exceptional skills in retuning the vessel to port. My only regret in not asking to crew what music we were listing to.

Big Island ATV Tour & Ranch Off-Road Adventure from Hamakua - All About The View
Exceeded expectations
Activity Date: 2021/05/15 | Posted on: 2021/05/17

Outstanding in every regard. Our guides were professional but warm and engaging. Teegan and Haley were knowledgeable and very personable. The equipment was well maintained. The ride was just the right length. The view was as incredible as advertised. The tandem ATV’s were easy to handle and a lot of fun, but never felt overwhelming. Would highly recommend!

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]
Memorable horseback riding in a uniquely Hawaiian setting
Activity Date: 2021/05/15 | Posted on: 2021/05/17

We greatly enjoyed our morning horse ride in the Waipio Valley. Our guides are local residents of the valley who are very proud of the history and the culture. The horses were calm and very sure footed. The lack of in depth introductions about the history and culture of the valley and the unpredictable weather in the valley were largely compensated by the hospitality of the guides, the almost mystic atmosphere of the majestic valley, and arrays of exotic flora of the fertile valley floor. I wish the black sand beach was part of the tour. I might be asking too much but horse riding on the black sand beach could be the highlight of a perfect tour!

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise
Great Experience!
Activity Date: 2021/05/15 | Posted on: 2021/05/17

We had so much fun! I believe we saw 4 or 5 Manta Rays. One kept doing flips and brushing against us. It was a great experience, and the crew was extremely nice and fun.

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise
Sea Paradise Sunset Sail-NO Sailing!
Activity Date: 2021/04/19 | Posted on: 2021/05/15
Mae

There was no sailing on this trip.The Manta rays are close to where the boat goes in the water. I thought we would have a nice sail while the sun was setting and then get in the water but that was not the case. This experience was both boring and exciting. You are in the water for 45 minutes lying flat with arms outstretched holding onto the handle on one of several connected "light boards"while you have your snorkeled face in the water, and are balancing a noodle under your ankles. You brush up against the people on either side of you.The motion of the ocean gets to be a bit much for many people. I heard a crew member say to another "at least no one puked this trip". I have never been sea sick but started feeling queasy and did get out with about 10 minutes to go. You can raise your arm and be escorted back to the boat at any time.You are provided with a half wet suit but still you get chilled. If you have any shoulder problems I would think twice about doing this trip. All that being said it was so cool when the Mantas did show up and swim right past you! There weren't many but I got some good video and stills with a camera that I borrowed from a friend. Maybe there is a better time of day or year to see more mantas? If you're positioned on a middle light board you have time to get the camera set because you will hear the people at the ends of the the light boards ooh and aah and cheer! I probably would not do this trip again but notice I didn't say never! The boat was nice , the crew was fine.

Aloha Mae,

We are so sorry to hear you found your experience less than stellar. We appreciate your feedback. We often do try to do some sailing prior to heading to the Manta Ray Village, however factors of getting the best viewing spot for our guests may have disrupted the sailing part as many times through out the year we'll have northern boats come down to view the manta's if they haven't been seeing any at their usual location. Our best recommendation for hanging on to the light rafts would be to not be tense, this can make for an unpleasant experience for anyone, including people with shoulder problems. It's best to relax and go with the flow of the ocean rather than against it. Although we are sad to hear you didn't enjoy your whole time with us, we are happy to hear you enjoyed the stars of the show. They are truly magical. We hope you'll give us another try on a return visit to the islands. Mahalo Nui Loa!

We enjoyed our time at the Hilton. We did two luaus while in Hawaii and enjoyed this one by far over the other. The open bar was a nice touch. Never had to wait long in line. I appreciated being served by staff rather than having to get up during the show

Kaleo our guide was wonderful. He was very informative and being a resident of the valley, getting a tour from him was excellent.
He was very kind to take pictures for us.
The valley is breathtakingly beautiful. The trip down and up the valley was full of facts.
I highly recommend it.

Love Waipio Valley
Activity Date: 2021/04/22 | Posted on: 2021/04/24

My niece came to visit from Pennsylvania and loved Waipio Valley.
Douglas was a great tour guide and told wonderful stories. We learned about Waipio vegetation, including the beautiful Gardenia he picked for us. Douglas shared a story about how his grandparents ate Nonni, smelly fruit but healthy for you. Loved hearing about the people of the valley who do not have electricity but are hard working taro farmers. Mahalo Nui Loa Douglas.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Easiest snorkeling we've ever done
Activity Date: 2021/03/19 | Posted on: 2021/04/22

This is an amazing experience and it's so easy, you barely need to know how to swim. You just lay w/ your face in the water and the mantas come to you. Actually they come to feed on plankton which are attracted by the lights that the crew shine in the water. It's a super-cool experience and the crew on our boat were awesome. Highly recommended.

Hawaii’s largest waterfall, wild horses coming up to our van, and great family pictures were taken. Our driver, Daniel, was focused on our safety including following Covid safety protocols.

Ultimate Hawaii Circle Island Sightseeing, Kilauea Volcano & Waterfall Tour
Great way to see the Big Island in a day!
Activity Date: 2021/04/05 | Posted on: 2021/04/07

We were only on island for two days, so we had to make the most of it. Rich picked us up promptly and we set out with a total of nine passengers. The van was comfortable, and Rich had water and lunch ready for us, along with clean jackets and umbrellas for the chilly rainy segments of the trip. The drive was safe and pleasant, and Rich regaled us with information and stories. At each stop, he allowed us ample time and shared interesting information.

This was a wonderful day, and we not only saw the island but also learned a lot. Highly recommended, especially if you can get Rich as your driver/tour guide!

This was our first time riding ATVs and i literally thpught we would get stuck...but these things can go thru anything! My sister rode the single, my daughter and i rode a double. We couldnt help smiling the whole time! We got myddy, but we planned to. The scenery was breathtaking and the falls were muddy from the recent rain, but we didnt care. I would definitely suggest if you are on the fence, dont be! 100,% worth it!!

As a parent of 7 year old twins, who seeks out kid friendly activities, I’m so grateful I chose this show. This was their first show since COVID. They offered a selection of kid friendly food which I appreciated. The rest of the food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! Now to the entertainment. This group of performers were so enthusiastic that the captured my kids attention the whole time. The story they told was beautiful. My kids were doing their best to follow the dancers moves and the waitstaff were so kind to compliment them. The fire dancer at the end got a standing ovation! From the music and performers to the food and staff, they all exceeded any expectations! Well done!

We saw a variety of humpback groups, including a mother with a very curious calf. We even saw one breech a few times! Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Took a lot of questions from the group. We also saw a group of manta rays on our way back to shore! My 4 year old had as equally good time as his grandparents. Would definitely recommend!
