For 11 Year Olds

The maps are not helpful. Once out of the cove, it was hard to find the landmarks to orient ourselves. Did not see any fish or turtles while snorkeling. The wind was so strong and guides did not give advice on how to n... moreavigate in high winds- were paddling hard on right side trying to go left but kayak continued to go right. Upon finally making it back to the cove the guides did not get up from their seats, didn’t assist us getting out of kayaks and just told us to put the paddles and life jackets back ourselves.
Would not recommend.

Very relaxed environment, welcoming crew, and fun to be had by all ages. We snorkeled, played volleyball and had a great lunch, I would definitely do again.

Showed up early and listened in on the captain and/or crew member before our scheduled tour deliver a safety brief for the group ahead of us. We overheard the following, “I’m not going to go over the safety stuff so much... more, you guys can all swim right?”

While this tour provider has an awesome reputation and has been doing this for a very long time we were not given the warm and fuzzy by this display. I’m sure this will be remedied. Looking forward to giving them a second chance in the future.

Great ride on the beach! Beautiful sunset! The guides were wonderful, friendly, informative. It was definitely a must do again!

We were a family of 4 adults and our trip from Oahu to Hilo and heli tour of the volcano was ok but not super smooth.
Flight to Hilo was fine and transport on arrival was waiting but according to our printed itinerary w... moree were not sure if it would be.( tried to find this out the night before but could not get an answer ) so a bit of anxiety over that. The trip around Hilo and Volcano Craters Park was fine but perhaps a little on the repetitive side. It is the Big Island so lots of travelling with not too much to see however our guide Dexter was very knowledgeable. We were dropped off at Blue Hawaii Helicopters for our volcano flight at 2.30 ( and we were booked to go back to Oahu at 5.30 ) . We did not get on our helicopter until 4.15 ( 45 min flight ) so even though the flight was fantastic and the pilot did manage to get us to see the crater ( absolutely terrific ) , the whole time we were wondering if we would make the flight back to Oahu. On landing we had to grab our backpacks and sprint back to the airport and just made the flight! The heli trip was all recorded and we would definitely have liked to view and probably purchase the recording but had no time at all to waste.
We loved the day but it was all too poorly time managed which really took the gloss off the experience.

Second time and it always amazes me I will totally be back next year with my fam!!
