Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

Highly Recommend

Reviewed by: Vera

Trevor, Kaimani, Alex, and Captain Wayne were amazing. Our five year old was a little scared, and Trevor took such good care of him. The manta rays are incredible and the crew made it that much better.

Kailua-Kona Sunset Cocktail with Free Drinks - Honi Olani Catamaran

Beautiful - Location on Website is Wrong.

Reviewed by: CEC

Beautiful catamaran run by a family. We saw some dolphins while on the sunset cruise. They offered canned beers and hard seltzers, and and a boxed teriyaki meal with salad. The meeting location was difficult to find; they said one of the booking sites (HawaiiActivities.com) has the location listed incorrectly. It is NOT next to the Harbor House restaurant on the north side of the harbor. Instead , once you get to Honokohau Harbor, you follow the road on the south side of the harbor all the way to the yellow gates. The parking lot is no longer paved. Then walk through the gates all the way to the end of the pier.

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Well done show, good food

Reviewed by: jpimsler

On the specific date we went it rained, so that's a lost star that's in no way their fault! If we had wanted to leave and not stay in the rain they would have given us a refund or moved the tickets to a different date.

The show as very educational and the dancing was great! Our one year old was in a trance! Such awesome culture across the Pacific islands. The food was really good and big portions/as much as you want since it's a buffet. Before you leave check out the Hawaiian/Polynesian exhibit inside the hotel.

Kailua-Kona Sunset Cocktail with Free Drinks - Honi Olani Catamaran

Sunset cruise

Reviewed by: Cody

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.

Love Waipio Valley

Reviewed by: M. and C. Lee

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

Reviewed by: Dave W

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.

Ultimate Hawaii Circle Island Sightseeing, Kilauea Volcano & Waterfall Tour

Great way to see the Big Island in a day!

Reviewed by: Sandy and Phil

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!

My kids LOVED this show!

Reviewed by: Lval

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!
