Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Wonderful crew and beautiful spot to snorkel.

Reviewed by: Angela Reed

The crew were all very friendly and full of information about the area. The food was good and the extra slides and diving platform didn’t interfere with serious snorkeling.

Big Island Backroad Adventures - Water & Fire Private Volcano Tour with Meals

Fantastic custom experience

Reviewed by: The relaxing and exciting way to see Big Island

Shawn is super polite and well educated in many topics regarding the lava, plant life, history and sites on the islands. He was particularly helpful in suggesting to us to change the itinerary so we could see the active eruption and we are so happy he made the suggestion. 100% well worth the private tour. We changed things up and kinda called audibles throughout the day and Shawn was all about it. We had a great dinner and the day was a total success. Thank you.

Tips and suggestions

If you don’t want to be herded in a tour bus and would like the ability to customize, book this!!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Monika,

Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience with us! One of my favorite parts of just doing private tours is the ability to call those audibles and customize our itinerary based on our guests desires, or in this case the Volcano. Happy that we were able to get to the Volcanoes NP, see the eruption before it stopped, still be able to take you to the other locations we had planned, and enjoy a great dinner! Thanks again!!

Mahalo,
Shawn

  • We got to see the eruption and Shawn got us there

  • Really nice nature walk and falls

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Wonderful Wai’pio tour

Reviewed by: 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.

Tips and suggestions

Have lunch at the stand where Kukuihaele Rd meets Wai’pio Valley road. The Hawaiian Plate was delish

Reviewed by: いっちゃん

前日に中止になるかもと連絡があり、当日の連絡を待っていましたが無し。何とかレンタカーが現地に行けましたが、少々分かりにくい場所です。
そんなこんなで始まるまでは不満と不安でしたが、実際に乗馬が始まると、めちゃくちゃ楽しい!
お馬さんがとにかく、賢いです。標高が高いので雨がコースによっては降ったので、泥濘みもありましたが、すごく上手に歩いてくれます。
雨に濡れた草原がキレイに映ります。
そんな中を映画の一コマみたいに野生の豚の親子が10匹程で横断します。2時間半があっという間にです。本当に素晴らしい体験でした。。
すごくまた、行きたいです。

英語のレクチャーですが、全然大丈夫です。お馬さんがコースを完璧に理解しています。
