Mind blowing tour! Incredible crew: friendly, professional, knowledgeable, well prepared. The experience of a lifetime. Huge manta rays, swimming all around us! Gentle giants. Feeding on the plankton attracted to the lights. I know the crew told us that experiences may vary in numbers of mantas seen, but we were extremely lucky and saw close up mantas almost the entire time!
Take warm clothes for afterwards. Some people took Dramamine (good idea if you get seasick easily)

Terrific experience! Derek was a wonderful guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! Gave a preview of events, a timeline, and kept to the schedule.
The tour took us to places we probably wouldn't have gone to on our own. We saw turtles on the beautiful black sand beach, enjoyed a walk around the coffee farm with delicious samples. Spent time at Rainbow Falls. Enjoyed cookies at a local bakery. Plenty of opportunities along the way to pickup meaningful, local souvenirs.
But my favorite stops were in Volcano National Park. The caldera was amazing. No spouting lava but lots of smoking vents. The steam vents were amazing as well. Lunch at the cafe was well organized and tasty. The view from the restaurant was great. Beautiful vistas along the route. What more could you ask for???
Good for everyone, including kids. Plenty of stops along the way. Great overview of many sites.

On the day of the event, it was a bit chilly with cloudy skies and some wind, but riding horses in the open scenery of the highlands was very enjoyable and became a memorable experience. The staff provided thorough guidance, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. There were also opportunities to speed up and run a couple of times, which was great because it added a bit of active fun to the leisurely riding. The time spent riding through the vast Kohala Coast ranch felt extraordinary and was very soothing.
当日は風があり曇り空で少し肌寒かったのですが、高原の開放的な景色の中での乗馬はとても楽しく、思い出に残る体験になりました。スタッフの方も丁寧に案内してくださり、安心して参加することができました。途中で2回ほどスピードを上げて走る機会もあり、ゆったりした乗馬だけでなく、少しアクティブな楽しさも味わえたのが良かったです。広大なコハラ・コーストの牧場を馬に乗って進む時間は非日常感があり、とても癒やされました。
On windy days, the perceived temperature in the highlands is lower, making it feel a bit cold (having something to wear over is reassuring).
風がある日は高原のため体感温度が低く、少し寒く感じた(羽織るものがあると安心)

The hula dance was very beautiful and relaxed, which eased my mind. The flowing dresses that matched the movements and the graceful fingertips were elegant. The Tahitian dance was powerful and impressive. I really enjoyed the Hawaiian atmosphere. I'm glad I came to see it.
Dancing myself was fun, even though it was just for a short time during the meal. Many people left during the cool time when they took a break for dinner, but since the dance continued until 8 PM, I was happy to see it until the end.
If you're staying at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Hotel, I recommend going to see it.
フラダンスはとても美しくゆったりとしていて心が和らぎました。動きに合わせて流れるようなドレスも、滑らかな指先も優美でした。タヒチアンダンスは迫力があって圧巻でした。ハワイ気分を満喫できました。見に来てよかったです。
自分でダンスをするのは、食事の席で短い時間でしたが楽しかったです。
途中で食事時間を取るクールタイムに帰ってしまう人が大勢いましたが、20時までダンスはあるので最後まで見れて良かったです。
ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジホテルに泊まるなら、見に行く事をお勧めします。
Even if you have a priority reservation, it's better to arrive earlier than the meeting time to get an even better seat. If you're sensitive to alcohol, it's definitely best not to drink. It would be

How often can you get a kiss from a dolphin!? For me, this is once in a lifetime experience.. at least until I I come back and do it again!! The dolphins were great to interact with, our dolphin handler really ensured we all had time to interact with the dolphins. And Jennifer made sure that we understood how to appropriately interact with them. Always wonderful when animal handlers ensure the welfare and safety of the animal is a priority.

We had a free afternoon on the Big Island and wanted to check out the Waipio Valley. After a little research, we found that the only way for non-locals to visit was with an official guide. The Waipio shuttle is a custom vehicle designed to safely navigate the tricky terrain - including steep grade and crossing shallow rivers. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! Not only could he expertly drive us where we needed to go, but he also offered to take photos at each beautiful stop. This was a highlight of our trip!
