Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Amazing views and breathtaking!

Reviewed by: Cheryl

From the top of Mauna Kea you truly see forever. However, be prepared! At these heights it is also breath taking... that is, there is less air up there!! The guides were great and prepared you for the trip in every way. The dinner was good and the star gazing after coming half way back down was amazing.

There were some inaccuracies in the information. 情報が不正確な部分がありました。

Reviewed by: バルセロナさん

The photo service was supposed to be included, but it was not reflected in the organizer's list, and I was asked to pay for the photos.

The parking ticket is paid at the end when exiting, but please note that the payment method is only by credit card.

The show was very nice and had a great atmosphere by the sea.

Photo service がincluded のはずなのに、主催者側のリストに反映されておらず、写真代を要求されました。

駐車券は最後に出庫時に払いますが、支払方法はクレジットカードのみでしたので注意が必要です。

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Amazing adventure!

Reviewed by: Mark

Fun filled 3 hour cruise. Great food, music, and tour. The crew were all exceptional. Within 3 minutes of leaving the dock the crew had already located 2 whales we could watch. Right before dinner, they located a manta ray as well. The crew also found another whale on the ride home. Great time and very family friendly.

Kona Airport Shuttle Transportation (KOA) by Roberts Hawaii [Open Now]

Seamless

Reviewed by: Stephanie

What more could you ask for in a shuttle? The lady was at the airport with a sign with my name on it, gave me a shell necklace, brought me over to the driver who helped me with my bags. The driver was friendly, told us some interesting facts and got us to our hotel safely. My toddler traveled free and the fees were reasonable compared to other options. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.

A glance チラッと

Reviewed by: tma

I was able to catch a glimpse of it three times from a distance. However, it was too far away to capture in a photo, and it was just for a moment. Still, I enjoyed the cruise. The staff couldn't speak any Japanese, but they were very friendly. Later, during the dolphin watching in Oahu, I was lucky enough to see whales up close several times, which was great.

遠くにチラッと3回ほど確認できました。
ただ写真には収まらない程の遠くで一瞬でした。

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

Can't wait to surf again!

Reviewed by: Kona Lover

This was a great time and we can't wait to do it again! We were all able to stand up on our surf boards because of their great teaching, and we loved being in the water with the instructors. Very kind staff! The lesson on the land was a little long and repetitive, but very worth it for the water time. Jake and Tiffany were the best instructor!

I'm feeling sleepy... 眠くなってしまった…

Reviewed by: アッコ

I have experienced various luau shows, but this one felt a bit lacking. The structure was stretched out, with a lot of band performances in between the hula. The meal was a 60 out of 100. I left early, so perhaps it got more exciting in the second half.

いろいろなルアウショーを体験しましたが、ここのルアウショーはちょっと寂しかったです。間延びした構成で、フラの合間のバンド演奏が多かった。食事は60点。途中で帰ったので、もしかしたら後半で盛り上がったのかもしれないですね。

Kona Airport Shuttle Transportation (KOA) by Roberts Hawaii [Open Now]

Requested pick up time not honored

Reviewed by: Ivan P.

My fight departure was 11:50pm, so I requested to be picked up at 9:45pm. However, upon confirmation I was notified the pickup time would be 7:45pm (take or leave it with no refund.) The ride took about 30 minutes, so I was at the airport around 8:15pm and had to wait more than 3 hours before boarding. So no complains about the ride itself, but it would be nice if my requested pickup time would have been respected.

It felt great! 気持ちよかった~!

Reviewed by: さきさん

Since we went with a plan to meet at the location, I was worried about whether I would easily find the meeting spot, but once I got there, it was very clear. The staff was waiting for us even before the meeting time, which made me feel relieved.

There were only the two of us participating in the tour, so we were able to enjoy ourselves freely. We quickly spotted dolphins and were able to see many of them, which made us very satisfied. Above all, I could feel the staff's love for dolphins. If I had to mention one thing, I regret forgetting to take photos.

Since it was just the two of us, it was helpful that they adjusted the return time for us.

I think we had a wonderful way to spend our time! Thank you very much!

Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

We saw whales but the boat was so-so

Reviewed by: Anonymous

We've been on multiple whale tours over the years. We saw multiple whales but the boat was crowded and pretty dated. The microphone didn't work for the first 30 minutes and they never used the hydrophone after mentioning that they had one. Definitely not the "spacious deck with ample seating for all passengers and first class amenities" as advertised. The Kawaihae Harbor location is setup weird. After arriving and checking in we had to board a bus for a 5 minute ride to the boat. Every cruise in the past allowed us to park and then walk on without a shuttle bus. The crew was friendly.

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Island Tour.

Reviewed by: Maryann

We did the Circle Island Tour, small group tour which was fantastic. I cannot say enough about this tour. It was approx. 11.5 hours but the day flew by. Our driver Kevin was amazing and informed us about everything. It was a maximum 12 people which made it very enjoyable. Our lunch break we stopped at an Orchid shop and our driver had picked us up Bento Boxes, it was delicious. We saw everything from waterfalls, rain forest, black sand beach, lava tubes, lava fields, and volcanoes and so much more. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Well worth the money.
Thank you for the great tour.

He took us on a hike to see the sunset which was amazing and then to an area where he set up a huge telescope for star gazing.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

The most romantic and special event of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: Kimo Kameaalohalani

So I decided to propose on this particular cruise, and I couldn't have picked a more romantic, thoughtful, and special cruise to do it. I was so incredibly nervous, but the customer service rep was extremely communicative and responsive for my specific request. John, the captain of the vessel, was so knowledgable in the marine life, that my fiance and I asked if he had majored in Marine Biology in college. He had a lot of passion for the marine life and he spent a lot of time speaking with us. Also, the wait staff was beyond courteous, they took pictures of my engagement, and they made us feel so special with their champagne toast.

I also set-up an original song to sing for my fiance, and the musician onboard actually learned my song before-hand, and played it perfectly as I sang it in front of 40 strangers! His tunes really bring that cool, Hawaiian vibe, and the MC was great with her meticulous tour and crowd work. I couldn't have asked for a better sunset, a perfect location, and the greatest staff that I have probably ever encountered. That's saying a lot as I had been a musician on several international five-star cruise lines in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a special event with incredible food.
