Oahu to Hilo Volcano, Waterfall & Black Sand Beach Day Tour - Roberts Hawaii

A Fulfilling Tour with a Japanese-Speaking Guide

Reviewed by: Hana

A Japanese-speaking guide accompanied us throughout the entire tour and provided very attentive support, which made the experience extremely comfortable and reassuring.
Because there were only a few participants on that day, we were able to take our time at each location and enjoy a relaxed pace.
From the volcano to the waterfall and black sand beach, the tour was packed with highlights, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the entire day.

Oahu to Big Island - Helicopter Tour & Volcano Sightseeing Adventure with Lunch

Amazing views and sights to see

Reviewed by: Mia

We were really lucky with our tour because Kilauea started erupting in the morning of our tour day and we had a helicopter tour at 9:00 AM. We were able to see unbelievable sights from the helicopter as we were flying over the caldera.

The downside of it was that everyone else also knew about the eruption and wanted to get to the volcano park so we were stuck in the traffic for hours with others queuing to get into the park. This affected slightly the schedule of our tour, but we still managed to see the main things, and as I had visited the park before, it didn't matter so much to me. The thing I hoped and expected from the tour most was seeing lava spouting up in the air, and that came true!

Just as a reminder, you don't always get to see lava flowing, but the sights overall are still amazing and definitely worth the trip.

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Excellent Flexible Tour Round Lanai

Reviewed by: Albert

Very good pre-tour instructions and easy to receive the ferry tickets and tour voucher. The driver/guide was excellent, giving the small group choices on what to do. Love the places we visited and the stories told by the guide. Ample time to explore Lanai City before being driven to Hulopo'e Beach to explore - and close enough to walk back to the harbor to take the ferry back to Maui.

Tips and suggestions

Blue Ginger Cafe is a great spot for lunch but take some cash as the place doesn't accept cards.

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Treated Like Royalty

Reviewed by: Steve,Lorene,Karen,Jonathan

No exaggeration, we were treated like ROYALTY!! From the moment we arrived at check-in until we disembarked from the return ferry ride we experienced CONSTANT care and courtesy from the ferry crew and especially our trekker-drver/tour-guide Russ , who went to extraordinary lengths to ensure our comfort and enjoyment , always giving us plenty of time to explore and indulge at the many places we visited. He even surprised us by returning to the beach shortly before ferry departure time to offer us a ride over to the ferry dock, for which we gratefully accepted! To say that he went "above and beyond" would be an understatement.
And all the people we encountered in Lana'i City ( at cafe , gallery , stores ) were so friendly , kindly and hospitable towards us...we felt sincerely welcome , and thoroughly enjoyed our visit , and hope to return for a longer stay.
Our emphatic thanks to Russ ( he was there to greet us when we stepped off the ferry ) and the ferry crew , who were right on time and very professional , for helping us have a fabulous and very memorable visit to Lana'i !

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

A good introduction to the island of Lanai

Reviewed by: Kealia

Everything ran smoothly from our ferry ride to Lanai, to meeting our guide at the island harbour. We saw Shipwreck Beach and the Garden of the Gods, both worthwhile stops, and were introduced to the main beach park, some of the lovely expensive hotels, and a good look at Lanai City. We enjoyed our guide’s stories about growing up on Lanai, and we loved our free afternoon snorkelling on the excellent reef at the beach. The ride home in the ferry was pretty rough, but that’s to be expected on the afternoon rough and windy waters between Lanai and Maui. It was a very expensive day, in our opinion, and our guide sometimes repeated himself, just to keep the patter going. Nevertheless, we had a good day, and would recommend it to anyone with deep pockets, and a desire to experience Lanai.

Tips and suggestions

We travelled in a suburban, not the jeep-style 4x4 we were expecting. It was very comfortable..

Oahu to Big Island - Helicopter Tour & Volcano Sightseeing Adventure with Lunch

Outstanding Experience

Reviewed by: Marjie

One important thing to note when you arrive at Hilo Airport is to head to the Bus Loading Zone pickup area at the end of the Baggage Claim Terminal. Walk outside of the Baggage Claim area on the first floor, turn right, and proceed toward the restrooms at the west end of the terminal, where a Polynesian Adventure vehicle will pick you up.

Our tour guide, Dexter, was incredibly knowledgeable, as he was born and raised on the Big Island. He was a wonderful gentleman, showing great respect, kindness, and compassion for everyone. A lunch was provided, which included a turkey wrap, kettle-cooked chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and a refillable metal water container. We also made a stop at Big Island Candies for some sweet treats. While we didn't need to wear pants or jackets, wearing hiking boots for ankle support is highly recommended due to the rough and slippery terrain.

Our Blue Hawaiian Helicopters pilot, David (nicknamed "Chewy"), was also very knowledgeable. He videotaped our entire flight upon request, and we even had our photo taken, which was uploaded onto the USB thumb drive. Remember to bring your photo ID. You will also need to view a safety video.

Overall, it was an excellent experience and well worth the money.

Aloha Marjie,
Mahalo for your wonderful review!

We’re so glad you had an excellent experience from start to finish, and we appreciate you sharing those helpful arrival details for future guests. It’s fantastic to hear that both Dexter and David (aka “Chewy”) made such a lasting impression with their knowledge, kindness, and genuine aloha spirit. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them—they’ll be thrilled!

We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch and special stop at Big Island Candies, and we agree—good footwear is a must for Big Island’s diverse terrain. Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure; we’re honored to have been part of your Hawaiian journey and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!

Warmest aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana

Fantastic Day Trip

Reviewed by: Jaybo

We had a wonderful 1/2 day trip around Lanai. Our local guide was very friendly, professional, informative and engaging. It was so much fun and well worth the cost. Highly recommend, since some of the best location spots require a jeep in order to get these spots.

Tips and suggestions

Book ahead and give yourself enough time to locate the docks. The ferry ride can be a bit rocky.

We boarded the Trilogy catamaran and saw humpback whales, ate a breakfast snack on way over to Lanai. We snorkeled and went on a nature hike. Later on we had a great lunch break at the pavilion at the small boat harbor. Our captain and crew served us very well throughout the trip. On sail back to Maui we had adult beverages and ice cream. It was first class and recommended trip for everyone

Great experience seeing Lanai.

Reviewed by: Ross

Shout out to the staff member who held the ferry in time for us to get on at 6:30am. * Ensure to get to the docks at least 1/2 before as parking, and finding your meeting point, isn’t simple. Something we didn’t do 😞
Russ was a great tour guide who showed us how beautiful, and peaceful, Lanai is. Would have loved to see the inside of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Eat at the Blue Ginger Restaurant. Home cooked, fresh food!
We initially booked to stay the full day on Lanai, but was able to get an early ferry back.

Tips and suggestions

Get to the docks at least 1/2 before. 1/2 day trip is enough time to see everything.
