コハラ地区 ジップライン＆吊り橋渡り体験　滝つぼ遊び付きプランあり ＜英語インストラクター＞

It was good. 良かったです

Reviewed by: 伊右衛門

I made a reservation for the 9 o'clock session and arrived at the reception at 8:30. Since I filled out the liability waiver in advance, I measured my weight on the scale next to the reception, and the check-in was completed in just one minute.

I think the percentage of Japanese people is low, and no one speaks Japanese at all, so it's recommended to download the liability waiver from the e-voucher and fill it out beforehand. It takes time to translate on-site.

About 10 minutes before the start time, I received a harness, helmet, and gloves in a room at the back of the reception, and then we traveled to the zip line location in a six-wheeled vehicle used by the military. The zip line descends from a platform built high in the trees. The distance is decent, and we cross a suspension bridge between the wooden platforms, which might be scarier.

The staff are kind, and it's a good tour.

If you're only considering the zip line, Akaka has a longer one.

9時からの回で予約して8：30に受付へ
事前に免責同意書を書いて行ったので受付横の体重計で体重を測って1分で受付は完了です。
日本人率は低いと思うし日本語は全く通じませんので
Eバウチャーから免責同意書がダウンロード出来るので書いて行った方がオススメです。
現地で翻訳してると時間かかるしね。
開始時間の10分前ぐらいに受付奥の部屋で安全帯の装着やヘルメットや手袋を貸してもらったら、軍が使う様な6輪車の車でジップラインの場所まで移動します。
ジップラインは木の高台に作った台の上から下ります。
距離的にはまあまあかな
木の台の間を吊り橋を渡りますがそっちの方が怖いかもしれません

スタッフも優しく良いツアーですよ

ジップラインだけを考えるとアカカだけの方が長いです。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Worth the workout!

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

This was a really unique way to see the island, and my family and I had a blast! The snorkeling quality and difficulty of kayaking obviously vary with weather, but the beautiful views are amazing no matter what! The seas were pretty rough the day we went out, so we couldn't spend as much time in the cave, but the guides were really helpful, and we were still able to see plenty of fish, eels, and urchins despite the weather. The guides also pointed out some historical sites and things we never would have noticed alone. Excellent day trip!

Sacred Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park & Kona Farms Guided Tour

Not much to this tour

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

There isn't much to this tour that you couldn't do on your own. Both of the national parks were interesting, but my family and I would have loved to have more time to take them in. The bee farm was also cool - their employees were really enthusiastic and we enjoyed tasting all of the honey. However, the coffee tour was given by a coffee farm employee who seemed to not know much of what she was talking about. Our tour guide from the tour company was honestly the highlight of the tour - he was really knowledgeable and funny, and he definitely made the tour as fun as it could possibly be. However, it felt like he didn't have that much to work with.

4.5-Hour Deluxe Kona Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch with Lunch - Body Glove Cruise

Wonderful Experience Ever!

Reviewed by: Chang Kim

It was the most wonderful experience with my family. We went the morning program and the weather was great (not too sunny but not too cloudy). The staff crews and captain are wonderful to serve every single passenger. Ola, one of staff remembers our names and keep checking us often. Dolphins were waiting for our Body Grove boat and played with our boat both ways from/to the spot. The snorkeling was beautiful ever and the meals were also wonderful. My wife had a motion sickness and hard time to survive but all other four family members had life-long unforgettable memory. If you have motion sickness, better to prepare some medicine to prevent it. My kids enjoyed the high jumps. There are some waves. Thanks to Captain and all crews.

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

クール！ cool!

Reviewed by: umeco

We arrived at the helipad we spotted on the way from the airport to the hotel, picked up by the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. We were the only Japanese couple there. We received instructions in fast-paced English, but as long as we could catch some words, we managed. We stored everything except our cameras and water bottles in lockers, put on life vests, and waited while watching a safety video. Everyone was excited by the sound of the helicopter returning with the previous group. After the helicopter returned and underwent maintenance, we had to wait quite a while. Due to nerves, everyone kept needing the restroom, but there was only one unisex restroom, so it got crowded.

There were about 20 people in our time slot. We were grouped based on our participation unit and weight, and we shared the helicopter with two other couples and six individuals. We communicated through headphones and handheld microphones. Even if you're not good at English, the staff is friendly and engages in conversation, so it's fine to speak in broken English.

As we ascended, background music played effectively, and the optimal music for each spot was prepared, which further lifted the mood. Unfortunately, I have a weak vestibular system, and shortly after ascending, I started feeling nauseous and couldn't look down when we approached the most scenic spot near the magma. I managed not to throw up, but I held onto an etiquette bag the whole time. The etiquette bag was stuck in front of my seat, but since I was firmly secured with the seatbelt, it was out of reach for someone petite. I couldn't reach it, so I gestured to my tall husband to get it for me, but I think those with a weak vestibular system should move it closer to them beforehand.

Unfortunately, I felt nauseous, but it was undoubtedly a valuable experience to see breathtaking spots that are normally inaccessible up close.

マウナケアビーチホテルからのピックアップで空港からホテルへ向かう道中に見かけたヘリポートに到着。日本人は私達夫婦だけでした。早口の英語で指示を受けますが、単語が聞き取れればなんとかなります。カメラとペットボトル以外はロッカーに入れて救命胴衣を装着、安全ビデオを見てその時を待ちます。前の時間帯のパーティーを乗せたヘリが戻って来る音でみんな大興奮。前機戻って来てヘリの整備やらでその後結構待ちました。緊張でみんなトイレが近くなるのですが、トイレが男女共用で1つしかないので混雑します。
同じ時間帯の組は20名ほどでした。参加単位と体重で乗る組み合わせを振り分けられ私達はカップル2組と6名で同乗。ヘッドホンと手持ちのマイクで会話します。英語が苦手でも楽しく話しかけてくれるので片言でも大丈夫です。
上昇とともに効果的にBGMが流され、スポット毎に最適なBGMが用意されているのでさらに気分が盛り上がります。
私は三半規管が弱いため上昇してほどなくして気持ちが悪くなってしまい、一番の絶景スポットのマグマへの接近で下を向くことができませんでした。なんとか戻すことはありませんでしたが、ずっとエチケット袋を抱えていました。座席前に刺さっているエチケット袋ですが、身体ががっつりシートベルトで固定されているので小柄な方では手が届きません。私は届かず背の高い主人にジェスチャーで即して取ってもらいましたが、三半規管が弱い方は事前に手元に移動しておいた方がいいと思います。
生憎気持ちが悪くなってしまいましたが、普通では立ち入れない絶景スポットを目近で見られるので、とても貴重な経験が出来たことは間違いありません。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Translation is not available because the original text is unclear. 若返って～✴

Reviewed by: きいろ

We arrived at the marina early, carefully applied sunscreen, and felt the excitement build. The captain was cheerful, and out of the 15 people on board, there were four of us: my wife, our friends, and me. We held on tightly to the ropes as we set off, experiencing the thrilling rafting that felt like we might be thrown into the rough waves at any moment. Although there were many young couples around, we, even those of us in our sixties, had a fantastic time. The snorkeling spot we reached was absolutely wonderful, and along the way, dolphins jumped around and followed the boat, which was really fun. The pineapple and oranges we had on the boat were incredibly sweet and unforgettable. On the way back, the captain explained about the lava caves and fault lines, and we got to explore narrow areas that regular boats can't access, enjoying the unique scenery.

マリーナ迄早めにつき、日焼け止めローションを念入りに塗り、緊張感高まる。キャプテンは陽気な方で、15人中日本人は私達夫婦と友達夫婦の4人。しっかりとロープにつかまり出発、荒波に身を投げ出されそうになりながらスリル満点のラフティング。周りは若いカップルが多かったのですが我々アラカンどころか古希組も十分に楽しめました。着いたスノーケルの場所もとても素晴らしかったし、とちゅうでイルカがあちこちでジャンプしてボートについてきておもしろかった。ボートでいただいたパイナップルとオレンジの甘かった事、忘れられない美味しさです。帰り道溶岩の洞窟や、断層などの説明をしてくれたり、普通の船では行かれない狭い所にも入って行けて珍しい気色も堪能できました。

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

First time in Hawaii! 初ハワイ島！

Reviewed by: iku

I visited the Big Island for the first time to see manta rays. On the day of the tour, we were the only two Japanese participants, but our guide, Ali, provided thorough explanations, which made us feel at ease! As soon as we arrived at the port, we tried on our wetsuits. Since we wear them over our swimsuits, I recommend wearing easy-to-change clothes.

Once everyone gathered, we listened to the briefing and set off. The boat ride was incredibly thrilling and so much fun! When we reached the manta spot, we stopped the boat and waited. It was a bit wavy, so I took motion sickness medication beforehand, but I still felt a little nauseous… Luckily, I had some chewable motion sickness tablets with me, so I felt better quickly.

Finally, we entered the water and held onto a board with handles to go snorkeling and see the underwater world. We were told that there were only a few mantas that day, but one appeared right away! Although we couldn't see it up close, it was breathtaking.

After a while, fish started gathering around us, and it was adorable to see them nibbling right in front of us. Later, we spotted several mantas in the distance, but we couldn't see them up close. It was a bit disappointing not to see them feeding up close, as they seemed to be gathering around other boats.

However, holding onto the board and drifting on the water felt like swimming in the ocean, which was amazing. Even in June, it was a bit chilly, but the fun made me forget about the cold. On the way back, we got quite cold since we were wet. If you take off your rash guard, dry off with a beach towel, and put on a windbreaker, the cold is manageable.

Returning over the dark ocean while enjoying the night view was beautiful, and I was very satisfied. Thank you!

マンタが見たくて今回初めてハワイ島を訪れました。当日のツアーでは日本人私達は2人だけでしたがガイドのアリちゃんがきちんと説明してくれたので安心しました！港に着いてすぐウェットスーツを試着します。水着の上から着るので着替えやすい服装で行った方がいいと思います。
みなさん揃ったら説明を聞いて出発☆行きのボートはすごい迫力でめちゃめちゃ楽しかったです！マンタスポットに着いたら船を止めて待ちます。ここでユラユラするので酔い止めを飲んで行っていましたがちょっと酔いました…予備で噛んで飲める酔い止めを持参していたのですぐ良くなりました(^o^)いよいよ海に入りみんなで持ち手がついたボードにつかまってシュノーケリングで海の中を見ます。この日はマンタが少なくて2、3匹しか見えないと言われていましたがすぐ1匹現れてくれました！近くでは見えませんでしたが、感動です(ToT)
少し経つと魚がどんどん集まってきて目の前でパクパクしているのが可愛かったです♪その後遠目にマンタは何匹も見えましたが近くでは見えず。くるっと回ってエサを食べる姿が見えなかったので少し残念でした…他のボートの方に集まっているのかな？と感じました。
しかしボードにつかまって海の上で流されていると海の中を泳いでいるような感覚になり最高でした。6月でも少し寒かったですが、寒さも気にならないくらいに楽しい時間でした☆帰りは濡れているのでとても寒くなります。ラッシュガードを脱いでバスタオルで体を拭いてウインドブレーカーを着れば寒さは平気です♪真っ暗な海の上を夜景を見ながら帰るのはとても綺麗で、
満足出来ました。ありがとうございました。

プライベートチャーター　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー！GoProレンタルあり＜午前／日本語ガイド＞

I was able to see dolphins and manta rays up close! イルカもマンタも間近で見れました‼︎

Reviewed by: みいみい

It was my first time snorkeling, and also my first time entering deep water, but thanks to the staff who explained everything kindly and thoroughly, I was able to enjoy swimming with the dolphins!

It seems that the spots where you can encounter dolphins change depending on the day. I think it took about 30 minutes before we first met a dolphin, but after that, we were able to swim with them 4 to 5 times. The staff guided each participant to get as close to the dolphins as possible, and I felt like I could reach out and touch them as they swam so close!

That alone was satisfying, but by chance, we also encountered a seal, of which there are only seven on the Big Island! On our way back, we were able to see a manta ray up close as well!

The staff kept saying, "Since you've come all the way to the Big Island, I want you to make lots of memories," and they were always searching for more experiences for us.

Thanks to the thoughtfulness of the staff, I made the best memories, and I am very grateful! It seems that starting around September or October this year, there may be a possibility that swimming with dolphins will no longer be available, so please be sure to participate!

初めてのシュノーケリングで、しかも深い海に入ることも初めてでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが、優しく丁寧に説明してくださったので、楽しんでイルカと泳ぐことができました！
日によってイルカと出会えるスポットは違うようで、最初にイルカと出会えるまでは30分くらいかかったと思いますが、それからは4〜5回出会っては泳ぎを繰り返すことができました。イルカのなるべく近くに行けるようにと参加者それぞれを引っ張って誘導して下さったので、手を伸ばせば届くのではないかと思うくらい近くで泳ぐことができました！
それだけでも満足でしたが、偶然、ハワイ島に7頭しかいないアザラシにも遭遇！
また、帰る途中にはマンタも間近で見ることができました‼︎
「せっかくハワイ島に来たから、沢山思い出を作って欲しい」と言って、ずっと探して下さっていました。

スタッフ皆さんのお心遣いにより、最高の思い出ができ、とても感謝しています！
今年の9月？10月？ごろからは、イルカと一緒に泳げなくなる可能性があるようなので、是非参加してみてください♪

It was pure mystery! I experienced something breathtaking! 神秘そのもの！息をのむ。を体感しました！

Reviewed by: KAZUKI

The day before and on the day itself, unfortunately, there was light rain. I assumed a Japanese person would come to pick me up, but it was someone else, so I didn't realize at first, haha. I figured it out because the back of the T-shirt had "Manta University" written on it. For those who will be using this service, please keep that in mind! Haha.

After doing a lot of searching and research, I decided to go with Manta University based on reviews and prior reputation, and it was definitely the right choice. I had an amazing experience!

It seems that Manta University is highly rated by other tour companies as well, as everyone I spoke to said, "That place is great!" when I mentioned their name. The website was a bit hard to navigate (it really is quite confusing), and I chose them because a Japanese person said there would be a restroom, but there wasn't one. They were complaining during the briefing before boarding the boat, but I wish they had done their homework. Since half of the participants were foreigners, I felt a bit embarrassed as a fellow Japanese person.

Just a heads up, the boat for the manta tour on the Big Island does not have a restroom! Haha. Please keep that in mind!

Before departure, they provide explanations and help you put on the wetsuits. You need to specify your size when booking, but they will lend you a properly fitting size on-site, so those who are worried can feel at ease.

The boat ride to and from the site is quite bumpy and you will get wet. It’s cold, but that’s to be expected when you’re speeding across the ocean! Haha. This was my third tour, and although I could only chat a little, I was used to talking with foreigners, so I had a great time throughout. There was a lovely elderly couple from America; the man was very kind to his wife, and I thought, "I want to be like that couple."

My wife can't swim and this was her first time in the ocean, so I was honestly a bit worried, but our guide, Toriama (Tori-chan), was very kind and attentive, so she was able to snorkel in the night sea with me until the end!

The manta rays were just amazing! I was so happy to see them! From the moment they appeared right in front of me to their graceful gliding, everything was incredible!! I felt like I came just to see the mantas, so it was the best experience ever!!

We talked about wanting to go see dolphins next! Manta University comes highly recommended.

P.S. Mantas appear to feed on plankton that gather around lights, and I saw other tour companies claiming their lights are stronger than others, but when I asked a knowledgeable friend in the marine world, it seems that doesn’t really matter, haha. Since we’re dealing with nature, there will be times when you can’t see them, and other times when many come. During my tour, three mantas showed up.

When choosing a tour company, I recommend considering whether they have Japanese guides, the level of care they provide, and the details of their services. Please avoid getting distracted by unclear services and the desire to have a better experience than others!

The Big Island is the best! I will definitely come back!

前日、当日は生憎の小雨模様でした。
日本人の方が迎えに来てくれると思い込んでいましたが、違ったので最初わかりませんでした笑
Tシャツの背中側の上にマンタ大学と書いてあったのでわかりました。

色々探したり調べて、口コミや前評判からマンタ大学さんにお願いしましたが、間違いありませんでしたよ。
最高な体験ができました！

マンタ大学さんは、他のツアー会社にも評価は高いようで、名前を出したら、あそこはいいですよ！と、どのツアーの方も仰っていました。
ホームページが見ずらかったのか(たしかにわかりづらいですよね)、日本の方がトイレ付きだから選んだのに。ないんなら他を選んでいた。と、船に乗る前の説明で文句を言っていましたが、ちゃんと下調べはして欲しいものです。海外の方が半数だったので、同じ日本人として、少し恥ずかしかったですね。

ハワイ島のマンタツアーの船にトイレはありませんよー！笑
参考にしてくださいね！笑

出発前に説明とウェットスーツの着用をしてくれます。申し込み時にサイズを言わなければいけませんが、現地にて自分にちゃんと合ったサイズのものを貸してくれるので、不安な方は安心してくださいね。

行き帰りの船はかなり揺れます。そして濡れます。
寒いです。そりゃ海の上を突っ走りますから、まぁ当然ですよね！笑
この時はもうツアー3回目で触り程度しか話せない2人ですが、海外の方とのおしゃべりも慣れていたので終始楽しかったです。
アメリカ出身の老夫婦が素敵でした。男性が奥さんにとても優しくあんな夫婦になりたいと思いました。

私の妻は泳げない&海も人生初。で、正直不安でしたがガイドのトリヤマさん(トリちゃん)が優しく、またちゃんと気にしてくれていたので、夜の海でのシュノも最後まで一緒にすることができました！

マンタは、もう最高でした！会えて幸せでした♫
目の前に、ヌーーッと現れるところから、ヒラリヒラリと舞う姿も、全てがヤバかったです！！
私はマンタに会いに来たようなモノだったので最高な体験ができました！！

次はイルカに通いたいと夫婦で話しましたよ♫
マンタ大学さんはオススメです。

追記
光に集まるプランクトンを食いにマンタが現れるのですが、他のツアー会社の説明に他者よりライトの光が強い！等を見かけましたが、ちゃんとした海の友人に聞いたところ、関係ないようです笑
自然世界を相手にしているので、見れない時もあるでしょう。また、たくさん来てくれる時もあるでしょう。私の時は、3枚のマンタちゃんが来てくれました。
ツアー会社を選ぶ際には、日本人ガイドがいるか。
ケアはどうか。サービス内容は。等で選考するのをオススメします。よくわからないサービスに目を奪われて、他人よりいい思いをしようという思いにかられない様にして選んでくださいね！

ハワイ島最高ー♫

We boarded a boat and headed out to the Sheraton off Kailua-Kona. The boat was going at an amazing speed, and it felt great. During sunset, the boat was stopped in a position that made it easy to take pictures.

At the manta viewing point, we just floated while holding onto the SUP boards! At first, no mantas came, but gradually many appeared, swimming right in front of us. I was moved by the mantas swimming and rotating just inches from my nose.

Reluctantly, we headed back after about 30 minutes.

On the way back, the lights of Kailua-Kona were beautiful. I would love to participate again to meet the amazing mantas with the attentive guide. Thank you!

I chose this tour because it mentioned that there would be a restroom on the boat, but I was shocked to find out there was none. In the end, it turned out I didn't need it, but if there wasn't one, it would have been the same as the others. Everything else was fantastic. At first, I thought the manta rays wouldn't come, and I was about to give up, but they showed up in the second half. Our tour guide, Tori, was very encouraging to us as it was our first time snorkeling, and we had a great time. The night sea was a bit scary, but if you're going to Hawaii Island, I definitely recommend this tour.

I chose the exclusive VIP seating because I wanted a good spot. Honestly, I would have preferred to sit facing the stage, but it can't be helped due to the seating arrangement. It's a good idea to line up early!

The seating is at a long table, so you'll be sharing with others. I recommend sitting next to someone rather than across from them.

The buffet offers a wide selection, and it's delicious. The table attendant was a nice guy who was very attentive, which made for an even more enjoyable time.

The hula and luau show is quite long, and I think you'll be satisfied with it! I believe it's something you should experience at least once.

いい席で見たくてexclusive vipにしました。正直正面がよかったですが、並び順なので仕方ないですね。早めに並ぶといいですよ！
席は長テーブルなので相席になります。向かい合わせより、隣りがオススメ。
ビュッフェはたくさんの中から選べ、また美味しいです。テーブル担当のおじさんがいい人でよく気にしてくれてさらに楽しいひと時になりました。

The magnificent sunset seen from the sea and the flying fish skimming the surface build excitement as we ride a thrilling boat, reminiscent of being on a banana boat.

Wearing a wetsuit, fins, and goggles, I floated while holding onto the raft's rope. A three-meter manta ray approached the raft, showing its patterned belly and opening its large mouth, spinning close to us multiple times. The sheer power of the experience left me completely overwhelmed and deeply moved. It was truly a precious and emotional experience.

ウェットスーツ、足ひれ、ゴーグルをつけ筏のロープに腕を伸ばした状態でつかまり浮いていると筏のブルーライトに寄ってくるプランクトンめがけて3メートル大のマンタが斑模様のおなかを見せながら大きな口を開けて私たちスレスレに何度も回転する様子には、あまりの迫力にただただ圧倒され感動するばかりでした。本当に貴重な感動体験ができました。

Hawaiian Canoe Paddling Tour Adventure from Waikoloa on Hawaii Island - Hulakai

Fun Activity, Saw a Turtle

Reviewed by: Mary from San Diego

This was a fun activity, and totally safe. Our 4 yr old was not too excited at first, but later enjoyed it as we went out into the ocean. The highlight for her was getting to touch the water while sitting in the canoe, and seeing a turtle swimming close to us. The guide was experienced, and wanted to play safe since we had a young kid, but later realized that we could handle going out further into the ocean. It was a blast.

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

It was great, but I started to feel sleepy halfway through... 最高でしたが...途中から眠気が...

Reviewed by: だまさ

The buffet was abundant with all-you-can-drink options, and the meat dishes were particularly delicious (though the seasoning was a bit strong). I spent a leisurely time watching the sunset, and although there were hardly any Japanese people around, it felt like a family atmosphere, as mentioned in someone else's experience. I chatted a bit with the couples and families nearby, but I think it would have been an even better dinner if I had stronger English skills! However, since the time was long, I found myself battling sleepiness in the second half...

豊富なビュッフェに飲み放題、特に肉類は美味しかったです(味付け濃いめでしたが)。
サンセットを見ながら、ゆっくり過ごし、日本人はほとんどいませんでしたが、どなたかの体験談にもあったように周りの席とは家族のような感じでした。
周りの夫妻や家族と少し会話しましたが、自分に英語力があればもっといいディナーになっていたとおもいます！
ただ時間が長いので後半は睡魔との戦いでした...

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

I had a fun and easy time flying! 楽しく簡単に飛べました！

Reviewed by: だまさ

It was my first time parasailing! Since it was on the Big Island of Hawaii, the reception and staff on the water didn't speak much Japanese, but they were very kind. It was just my partner and me on the boat, so we had it all to ourselves. The view of the ocean from such a height was absolutely amazing, and we could see Mauna Kea clearly! However, I got a bit seasick due to the boat rocking and the swaying during parasailing, probably because I wasn't used to it... I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are unsure.

初のパラセーリングでした！
やはりハワイ島なので受付と海上スタッフはあまり日本語が通じるようではありませんでしたが、親切な対応でした。
船は自分たちカップルだけで、独占状態でした。
高い景色からの海はもちろん最高で、マウナ・ケアもよく見えました！
ただ、慣れてないからか船がけっこう揺れるのとパラセーリング中の揺れで、酔いました...
自信がないかたは酔い止め服用をおすすめします。

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Beautiful and educational

Reviewed by: Lisa

I brought my daughter and granddaughter to visit my parents who live in Hawaii. My parents had never done the helicopter tour and it exceeded our expectations. Our pilot was also a biologist and gave us lots of information about the island. The kids (teenagers) couldn't stop smiling. We had four generations in that helicopter and all of us loved the experience. Highly recommended.

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

Take the time to see the island.

Reviewed by: Barbara Helms

Tour Guide was great!!!!!! Great Value!

Would suggest that you have passengers switch seats during the tour. Unfortunately we get the back seats and the viewing is not as good as the seats further towards the front. Also it was harder to talk to the guide from back there. Might be nice if halfway thru the tour everyone switch seats.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Tour & Tropical Waterfalls Sightseeing from Hilo

Volcanoes Nat'l Park Bus Tour w/ lunch

Reviewed by: St. Louis family

We had a wonderful time. Our driver, Hugh, was great. He was very nice, friendly, informative and patient. We saw a lot of beautiful things and he watched the time for us. We were with a good group, too. He allowed the proper amount of time at each stop. Tha lunch that was included with our package was great. The view from our table was fantastic and so was the service. Hugh waited patiently with us for one of our passengers to find and retrieve her phone. It was a wonderful day and it exceeded our expectations. We were very happy we chose this tour and would highly recommend it.
