All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We have a great time.
Highly recommend to all. Will come back next time.

We had such an amazing time the crew was outstanding! We were celebrating a birthday and they sang happy birthday to her it was so much fun. Highly recommend! You can brin go your own alcohol FYI and drink it on the dock they have once you get to the sandbar

We enjoy this so much. Our guide was amazing! He knew so much about the area and the shows that had been filmed there. He explained everything to us made it fun and entertaining. Definitely worth the price. The easy hike to the top was beautiful!

This is a family run business. They are experienced and care for your safety, rebooking if the wind picks up without any extra fees. They make it fun for everyone with music and photos. Definitely recommending the 1000ft experience for families. Even the kids had a blast!

Went out on Aqua Adventures and felt they were a bit understaffed for the amount of passengers they had. Pre paid for Snuba but my husband didn’t even try. No contact for refund. Food served was minimal and not the best quality.

Your trip is not complete without experiencing this tour. We had Great experienced! Tour guide/driver is fun and super cool! If you're movie fun or Jurassic fun for sure you’ll enjoy every seconds of the trip. The View was fantastic we love nature very greenery.

Overall this snorkel adventure isn’t that great there is only one small reef with maybe 3 turtles and that’s it. Also you are swimming around 3-4 other boats that have about 20 people each so it gets really packed really fast in the small little area. It’s a good beginner snorkel trip but if you are wanting to get a quality experience with a big reef to swim around I would look elsewhere

We all had a wonderful ride to Lanai.
Ferry was on time both ways. Boat is clean and Captains and crew were so friendly and helpful. Covid rules followed.
And, we saw whales!

The sunset cruise was a lot of fun! The crew was super friendly and we had a great time! While on our cruise we got to see spinner dolphins up close which was really cool to see!

Definitely book this if you’re looking for a great sunset experience!

This was a simple, easy, comfortable and beautiful way to check off another island for your bucket list. Crew was friendly, ferry was clean, and it was just a fun way to see the whales---I suggest doing this than paying for a whale watching experience because we saw more whales here on our way to Lanai. Highly recommend.

Overall, great experience with snorkeling tour. I would have given 5-starts other than the two issues, 1 - One of the staff was little rude (white blonde seemed little racist attitude), however everyone else on the staff was super nice, 2 - the second issue, snorkeling place was little muggy water and it was little hard to sight any turtles, even though I saw one but my family couldn't see any. However, we sighted bunch of whales on the way, with couple of them very close to our boat (little scary for few seconds) which was awesome.

I think overall I had great time with parasailing, the view from top was awesome. We had two issues, first issue, we were the last family to do parasailing and they cut short our time in the air <6 minutes, (yes I timed ours, compared to first family) so they did not manage time well even though they advertised 8 mins from start to finish. second issue, photos we bought from them did not open on my computer and when I tried on another computer there were no photos at all, just wasted my money :-(. Next time, I would choose different parasailing vendor for sure.

We had 2 adults and 2 little kids. We saw whales within the first 20 minutes and they continues to follow them. The staff was highly engaging and very informative during the trip. This is not a stuffy pre-canned trip, the staff really made it an enjoyable time and you can tell they love what they do.

Wow the view is amazing! And fun ride my 4 year old loved the tour! Would definitely come back and the more tours.

This was a highlight of our 10 day vacation in Hawaii on 3 different islands. The valley is simply breathtaking and our 3 teenage boys had a blast. We took the UTV version and really enjoyed it. We loved our guides too. They were so much FUN!! We had a great time on the Jurassic park movie set (we were all in for the posing).

Best experience of me and my wife. Highly recommended!

The trip was amazing the quise was so knowledgeable and made the trip fun and easy

It was a great trip and tour guide was very informative.
Seeing the steam vents and volcanic rocks was best part of the trip.

This was a wonderful whale watching tour, we loved every minute of it. The guide was very informative, we have done other whale watching tours, but non as thorough in their explanations of all things whale. Other tours we have been on have had more interactive crew members aside from the captain, this one did not. But it was kind of nice to have a very relaxed, more calm experience. We saw whales as soon as we got on the boat practically, and the captain was good about not waiting around for whales for too long, but we would keep looking. The captain said this boat is the largest boat on the island, and at one point during our trip, a whale went under our boat to find shade! There are chairs set up around tables on the top deck which is nice to just sit and relax. One recommendation is to leave extra time for parking, as it gets crowded near the harbor. And it can be a little challenging to find, it is a hut outside right by the boats, I think it’s the last one in the line of whale watching tours, right across from Pioneer Inn. We had a great time, we would definitely go on one of their tours again!

You havent really been to Hawaii until you've done the Big Island Tour and seen Volcano National Park. This is how it all got here: volcanoes. We got to go right up to the edge of the Kilauea cauldera, saw many steam vents and walk through the 1/3 mile long Thurston Lava Tube. The whole Big Island is so different from Oahu: much less build up, black sand beaches, unbelievably thick tropical rain forests. Guide Hugh was born and raised on the island and is incredibly knowledgeable. I am so glad I sloted this day into my itinerar. Highlight of my trip.

The crew was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The surf didn’t allow for good visibility on the day we chose to go, but they informed us ahead of time and gave us the option of rescheduling. We chose to go anyway and they worked hard to still make it a great experience.

Super friendly, energetic and enthusiastic staff. Exciting and outstanding adventurous experience in the valley. Absolutely enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone who plans to visit the Big Island of Hawaii.

Wonderful, cheerful, professional staff. Lovely, clean NEW boat. This trip was a thumbs up. We were greeted by Joshua who was happy and briefed us well. On board were Asia, Jesse and Capt. Mike Morgan. This team worked well together to keep us entertained, fed, schooled on area history and safe. All of the gear was in good condition, the food was healthy and served efficiently using pandemic protocols. We were clearly informed of where to snorkel and attended by one or two employees while in the water. We were able to make part of the trip back under sail which was a silent treat. This is a top snorkel area on the island and the Sea Paradise trip is top notch! Top this off with seeing spinner dolphins and five different whales ….. a wonderful way to spend the morning.

This was the perfect way to experience multiple activities in one afternoon for a great price. The crew was outstanding & make you feel so welcome from the time you get picked up for the trip until it is time to get off of the boat!! The musicians added so much to the experience. You could tell that they absolutely love what they do. While out in the water my husband requested a song to be played.....it is what we walked down the aisle too at our wedding! The crew played the song & my husband & I danced in the water ❤

There are a lot of similar experiences down here, but this crew is tried and true. They have been doing this longer and better than the competition out there, and the experience is truly for those who want a no nonsense visit to turtle canyon. Captain Mina and Jeff truly know their stuff. Good times and good vibes!

Our guide was warm, informative and great with the telescope. We experienced a magnificent sunset at 14000 feet. We saw the rings of Saturn and moons of Jupiter, several high points. It was a perfect evening.

We didn’t get to snorkel and didn’t see any dolphin or whales. Totally not worth the money we paid.

Excellent thrill ride! Staff was excellent too! Will go back the next time we’re here again.

Jonah was awesome! Very knowledgeable and patient. He takes his time to answer your questions. He goes above and beyond for his clients. Definitely recommended

At the end of December, during a season with a lot of rain. It's unavoidable due to the weather, but we went up to the summit, saw the observatory building from the outside, enjoyed the snowy scenery, and then descended. We returned a few hours earlier than the scheduled tour time.

However, the guide Hiroshi who accompanied us on the tour was very kind, and I would like to challenge myself again next time with him.

１２月の終わり近くで、雨の多いシーズン。天候のせいなので、仕方が無いですが、山頂に上がり、外部より、観測所の建物を見、雪景色を見て下山となりました。予定のツアー時間より、数時間早い戻りとなりました。
しかしながら、ツアーに同行してくれた、ガイドのひろしさんは、大変親切で、次回、又、彼の同行でチャレンジしたいと思います。
