Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Fantastic
Reviewed by: Montalvo Family , 2018/08/01We were a family of 7 visiting Hawaii for the first time in July 2018 and swimming with the Mantas sounded like a dream. We went out and was disappointed when only 2 Mantas showed up but I only saw one. To our surprise the captain announced that he planned on going back out later and anyone who wished to go back out was welcomed to stay onboard. Well needless to say we went back out to the south side of the island and to our amazement we were blessed to not only swim with one but with seven Mantas. The experience was outstanding one I will never forget. The captain and crew was courteous and professional and I highly recommend Ocean Encounters.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail
Very few places could match this experience
Reviewed by: Darra, 2018/07/29Very few places could match this experience. The location; the slow climb up the giant sloping mountain. We went through rain, sun, even through a cloud; through the lava landscape, ranch lands and very bumpy rocky last stretch of road to reach the top! And wow it was a view from the top.
Be warned; it is very very cold; not what you expect from your Hawaiian break! You get nice warm coats from the tour group though (and later a little hot cocoa and brownie to keep you going!)
As the sun sets; you can see the mountains shadow on the other side; a glimpse of Maui and the glint of the sun off the telescopes preparing for their nights work. You can see the odd bit of movement as they open up. As soon as the suns down; its all go though. We have to leave the area quickly as the lights from the cars interfere with the telescopes (so no, there is no looking around inside them; if that is what you're hoping for in this trip!).
We move down slope a little to a good spot to see the huge expanse of clear, cloudless sky and the abundance of stars.
It is slightly interrupted with the brightness of the moon (so depending how long your stay is in Hawaii, plan for a darker night, unless you love the moon!); but not enough to stop us seeing nebula, planets and stars - its a really interesting spot to see both the northern and southern skies.
We did also spot a bit of the glow from the erupting volcano

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Equally awe-inspiring and nerve-wracking
Reviewed by: Darra, 2018/07/29I only add the nerve wracking part as it was something I did with a little trepidation - the idea of swimming in the ocean, in the dark, in the cold with a little tube to breathe through... However, I like to do something that scares every once in a while as the fear usually is nothing when actually doing the activity and this one was definitely the case in this experience. The guides were excellent and talked everyone through and kept everyone relaxed. You had a half wet suit to help with the cold; the water was lit up (to attract the plankton and mantas); the snorkel you soon forgot once you were floating in pure amazement and smiles as these giants swooped below you and then treated to the bright white display of them underneath as they rolled to eat up the plankton. Complete gentle giants; and not at all scary but just delightful

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＞
前日のリコンファームは不要にしてほしいです
Reviewed by: くみにゃん, 2018/07/28前日までのリコンファームの電話が面倒です。クレジットカードで支払い済みなのに、どうして必要なのかがわかりません。しかも、到着当日の参加を予定していたので、時差を考えて日本から電話しなくてはなりませんでした。
雨の場合を聞いたところ、かなり降ったら屋根の下に入ると言っていました。嵐の場合は5時頃に中止するかどうか決めるとのことでした。
他の方の体験談を拝見し、5時前に並びに行ったら、既に大行列でビックリ！！7月下旬のハイシーズンだったからでしょうか。5時半から受付が始まり、貝殻のレイをかけてもらって写真撮影。レイはお金を払えばお花や木の実のレイにアップグレードできます。写真撮影は拒否できます。
座席は並んだもの順で前からです。20ドルくらい多く払うと、最も前のテーブルになるようです。
ホストの方がしゃべるしゃべる。歌も歌う。そんなに難しい英語ではないし、分からなくても楽しめます。フラのレッスンや伝統ゲームに興じたり、スタンプタトゥーがあります。
豚の丸焼きを引き上げるのを見せてくれ、直後に王が海から上陸する演出。食事は前方テーブルからに取りにいくよう指示されます。飲み物は飲み放題ですが（一部有料）、バーが遠くて面倒です。
ここまでが長いこと！
ポリネシア各地の踊りを見せてもらえます。ファイアーダンスが一番盛り上がっていました。グアムのフィッシュアイでも同様のショーを見ましたが、こちらは全体的にステージが小さくダンサーの数は少ないです。ファイヤーダンスも男性が一人だけです。
色々と楽しませようとしてくださっているのは伝わるのですが、とても長いので、一部寝てしまいました。
最後はダンサーの方と手持ちの携帯などで写真を撮れます。特にチップを払っている人はいませんでした。ショーのお値段はワイキキよりずっと安いですが、ワイキキでは見ていないので、コスパ比較はできません。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail
Cool Views from the Top of the World!
Reviewed by: Ned from New Jersey, 2018/07/28Our guide Jeff picked us up from the Pu'u Huluhulu Cinder Cone parking lot, at the base of the road up to the summit. We had a very nice pre-packaged dinner at the base camp, then rode up to the visitor center and onward to the observatories. A bumpy and steep ride, I was very happy to have an experienced driver at the wheel!
At the top the weather was cool and clear and good for viewing a sunset, then we went down to a slightly lower lot to view stars and planets through a good quality Celestron scope.... the clear air and high altitude really added detail! First time I have been able to make out the rings of Saturn, and four of Jupiter's moons were posing really well for us! Some really excellent deep space views too! Check out a cool image of the moon from the Celestron scope....
Highly recommended, especially if you live somewhere with so much haze and light pollution you don't get to see that stars that well!
Mahalo!!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail
Absolutely wonderful experience
Reviewed by: YOPPI, 2018/07/21The tour guide Herald was very nice, friendly and knowledgeble on native hawaiian's culture, ecology and astronomy. We got to see a "natural planetarium" in the mountain including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. Coming from a big city we don't see stars in the sky, so the view was just breath taking and we were soooo glad we participated in the tour. I guess you can go to the summit and see stars on your own but I'd strongly recommend this tour. Because I think it will give you a whole new experience and view on the island and their culture.
Dinner was tasty too. I was expecting a lot less.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Very good experience
Reviewed by: Matt, 2018/06/26My wife and I had a good experience. The boat was comfortable although some people got seasick since it was a fairly choppy sea. I'd recommend taking Dramamine before going. The appetizers were just bagged snacks and cans of juice and pop. We ended up seeing about eight manta rays in the water.

Island Breeze Big Island Kona Luau at King Kamehameha Hotel with Open Bar
Luau at the King Kamehameha
Reviewed by: Just27, 2018/06/22I've been to various luaus, and this was the best. Really. My three-generation family ranges in age from 3 y/o to 70, and everyone had a great time. The 7 y/o was truly amazed by everything, which was delightful. The event was well organized, informative, and vastly entertaining. The food and beverages we're very good, high quality, and plentiful. No dishes ran out, and the selection was excellent. The arrival of the King and his court was fun. We enjoyed the extra touches, like the Hawaiians tattoos, and hula lesson. The dancers were excellent and engaging; we especially enjoyed those involving fire! I would definitely recommend this luau. I don't think there were any bad seats, and the view was glorious.

Big Island Watersports - Kona Jet Ski Ride Tour (from Kailua Pier) [Open Soon]
Kona Jetski was a blast
Reviewed by: Todd, 2018/06/18We had a ball riding jet skis (first time for 2 of us). We rented them for an hour and frankly, that's the right amount of time. You spend the first 20-30 minutes getting to know the process of using a jet ski, and the you have the rest of the time to test your capabilities and tolerances. I will tell you that this is a more physically strenuous activity than I expected and all four of us were sore and walking funny for 48 hours! LOL! It was overall a very good experience. The arena is spacious enough to have all kinds of fun.

Oceanfront Royal Kona Luau with Open Bar - Voyagers of the Pacific Show
Royal Kona Resort Luau
Reviewed by: Todd, 2018/06/18Overall, this was as a good luau experience. The show was excellent and the food was also excellent and plenty of variety. The setting is beautiful. The open bar was very good. There was not a lot of room, however, considering they were serving over 500 people (I overheard an organizer tell a waiter it was "515 people tonight"). The seating was a bit cramped. The ancillary activities (lei making for example) was fairly limited and not too well publicized. Those were the things that made our luau in Oahu truly special and yet we weren't able to take advantage of them since the supplies were limited.

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise
Fantastic experience
Reviewed by: Jason, Bindi, Linda, 2018/06/18Had a fantastic time. Kayak was good fun and not overly strenuous. Had a couple of stops along the way to catch our breath before we arrived at the monument. Snorkel was amazing with a huge variety of fish on display at close quarters. A pod of spinner dolphins arrived as we were leaving. Spent an hour snorkeling which gave us plenty of time to look around.
Then a paddle back again afterwards.
Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and safety conscious. He looked after us extremely well.
Very good value for the money.

Sacred Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park & Kona Farms Guided Tour
Drew was fantastic!!
Reviewed by: Avocado thief+2, 2018/06/10Wow! We had the pleasure of taking the historic Kona tour with Drew. It was an amazing day! Drew has an energy and enthusiasm about the island that is infectious! He took us to beautiful spots that were advertised and even a few of his favorites that were off the beaten path a bit. The thing that stood out was the intricate knowledge of the historical significance of all the places that we went that Drew was able to share with us. I’ve been to a few of these spots before but never understood them as I do now and that’s all from our great guide. Drew, I hope you know that you shared with us a memory that we will all hold dear for life!
