Dolphin Quest Hawaii - Dolphin Swim & Encounter at Hilton Waikoloa Village
Best Birthday Gift Ever
Activity Date: 2025/04/27 | Posted on: 2025/05/17

Planned this trip for over a year to go to Hawaii and all my boy would talk about was swimming with the dolphins. So for his 9th birthday I gave him the best birthday gift ever is what he told me with the biggest hug I’ve ever gotten from him.

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley
Wonderful Wai’pio tour
Activity Date: 2025/05/12 | Posted on: 2025/05/14
Ekl

We had a great driver/tour guide in Omar. He shared his love for the valley where he was born and raised with such joy and we felt like we got an insider’s view. The personal anecdotes about his family, and tales of fishing, hunting, canoeing, surfing, etc., really made the tour come alive for us. The overlook provides a stunning view but going into the valley provided a rich context for life of the Hawaiian people who have lived off the land and sea for generations. The valley is such a special place, a piece of history and way of life beautifully preserved; I feel blessed and privileged to have had this experience. And we even met one of the wild horses.

If you like adventure in an area you have not explored before, this is for you. We had a side-by-side thrilling ride to an amazing waterfall. The view is breathtaking and the water so refreshing. Water was great to cool off and clean up a bit. Amanda, Alysha, and Saire were excellent guides. They were very helpful and extremely personable. We highly recommend this Big Island adventure.

Tips and suggestions

If you have motion sickness medication, candies, or pickled plums, I think those who get car sick will be fine. Since you can enter the river, it might be a good idea to bring a towel to wipe your fee

酔い止めと飴や梅干しなどあれば車酔いする方は大丈夫だと思います。
川に入ることができるので、足元を拭くタオルなどを持参するといいかもしれません。

Deluxe Big Island ATV Tour & Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls
Enjoyable Day
Activity Date: 2025/03/28 | Posted on: 2025/04/19

We enjoyed our day. The staff were organized and very friendly. They ensured everyone was safe and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed being able to explore the property and look at the waterfalls. We had a nice time sitting by the waterfall and having time to enjoy going in the water. We were a bit disappointed by the ride itself as were are more seasoned and experienced riders. The pace was very geared to beginners and some guests had no clue what they were doing and that slowed the activity. We also hoped to have a ride close by ocean and that isn’t part of this activity, not their fault. I should have looked into that more. We basically road around through trails in a field. One last bit of advice, they should chill the drink they serve better. We appreciated though being provided a drink and snack part way through.

I was able to see manta rays up close, even more than I had expected. It was colder than I thought, and I got seasick, so I felt a bit unwell, but it all became a good memory.

Our tour guide (Shawn) was VERY informative and passionate about telling us the history and sacredness of Waipio Valley, the Valley of the Kings. We had such a great time! My 7yr old (who doesn’t like to sit still) enjoyed this tour immensely! Especially trying to find the prawns in the stream. Would definitely do this again!

The zip line gradually becomes higher and longer, designed to be more exciting and high-speed, making it a lot of fun. The guides are also great at getting everyone excited, creating a sense of togetherness as we all enjoy ourselves. It's true that if you can't speak English, you might miss half of the conversation, but even so, I was able to participate in the discussions and feel the enjoyable atmosphere.

Things to Do in Big Island in 2026 – Tours & Activities | HawaiiActivities.com
Big Island tours and activities perfect for children ages five to seven. Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, stargazing near Mauna Kea, glass-bottom boat rides, and horseback riding through Kohala ranch lands open up a world of discovery. Guided volcano hikes, waterfall visits to Akaka Falls, and catamaran cruises along the Kona coast keep young explorers engaged. These experiences blend hands-on learning with outdoor fun across one of the most geologically diverse islands on the planet.
