Paradise Helicopters - Volcano, Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo
Book this helicopter tour!
Reviewed by: Allyson
We had a group of 4 and knew we wanted to do a helicopter tour and this place knocked it out of the part the pilot (Wade) was amazing and all of the staff was great at communicating! They make it convenient by being able to call or text and ensure that you will be comfortable before going up in the air! Would definitely do this again if we ever return to the area! Mahalo!

Ultimate Hawaii Circle Island Sightseeing, Kilauea Volcano & Waterfall Tour
Wish we did it when we arrived
Reviewed by: Gila
It was such a great experience! Our tour guide was AMAZING! So personable and knowledgeable. He knew sooo much history. I don’t think there was a question asked he couldn’t answer at all. My favorite stops were the lava tube and volcano summit visits. Incredible views. My wife and I were saying we should’ve done this when we first arrived instead of at the end of our trip. Sooo much great information. Learning about how coffee was made was also great! Keep it up!

Hawaii Zipline Tours - Big Island Waterfall & Rainforest Zip Adventure
Great Adventure!
Reviewed by: Alex
This Zip-line Tour was off the hook! David and Josh, along with the other staff, were awesome and very good at what they do! They’re safety instructions were very friendly and clear that made it a really simple and fast process. They’re funny humor kept my wife and I engaged and laughing the whole time which helped break the ice and had everyone conversing. The Zip-Lines are short at the beginning but that’s ok because it was our first time doing this type of activity and helped ease into the longer ones. The grand finale is awesome and are still super stoked about doing it! You won’t be disappointed. Oh! And you have to try the different types of bananas while tracking through the different Zip-Lines and don’t forget to enjoy the views! Once again, thank you Josh and David for a great time and all the info provided! Until next time!

Big island Tour
Reviewed by: Georgie
We had a great time on the tour. The description about black sand beacb was misleading we did t go there since it’s not anywhere near hilo but We got to see lava rocks, lava tubes and learned a lot about the National park and plants located on the island! Definitely recommend the tour
There is some hiking (up to 2 miles round trip) involved so definitely wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket

Hawaii Horseback Riding Tour with Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls
Loved the ride!
Reviewed by: Peter
Great staff, gentle horses, and a fun adventure. We had our 9 year old granddaughter who had never ridden but they went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable and with a horse that she could ride safely.
I have lots of riding experience and was able to enjoy the ride as well; they shared much information about the plants and animals and Hawaiian history. Btw, the swim at the half way point was very refreshing.

Hilo Black Sand Beach Guided Snorkel Tour at Sea Turtle Lagoon
Fun time snorkeling, but we miss the boat.
Reviewed by: SJ Bass
We signed up for a snorkeling trip online. Mind you, we’ve done these trips before where they take us out on a catamaran and find some secluded bay where we can go and check out the tropical fish and coral reef and maybe a chance at a sea turtle.
Well, this trip was not quite the same. We did find a secluded bay that had a nice cool reef and tropical fish but we got there by use of a Ford expedition (which had no AC by the way). We then traveled to a second spot by car, where we did get a chance to see a sea turtle, but not much else.
Our snorkel guide was very kind and considerate and made sure that everybody in our small group of four was safe. But it seemed like he was working with one arm tied behind his back, because he had to hunt out the two places for us to dive.

Hilo Black Sand Beach Guided Snorkel Tour at Sea Turtle Lagoon
Great snorkel and guide.
Reviewed by: Tim H
It was a rainy warm trip but had a lot of fun. Devon was a great guide and although we did not see any turtles we saw plenty of fish and coral. Also learned a lot about the local area and history. Very helpful for getting our son, who is not a strong swimmer and new to snorkeling, into the water. Our guide explained everything very well and emphasized safety and respect for the land, sea and marine life.

Best Activity on The Big Island!
Reviewed by: Valerie
The whole experience was great from start to finish! The guides and driver were kind, hospitable, very funny and knowledgeable about the history of the area and most importantly, zip lining! The course lines get increasingly longer as you progress, so I felt very comfortable with zip lining by the time I was going for longer distances and higher heights. The views of the waterfalls were breathtaking and the absolute best way to see these beautiful sites. This was a 10/10 for me!

Stellar times
Reviewed by: Lal
This trip was so much more than I expected! We started with a quick tour of rainbow falls and boiling pots. our guide Marcus was exceptionally knowledgeable about the plant life and history of both places. We then explored the lava caves, which was an unforgettable experience. Finally, we got to watch a beautiful sunset, followed by stargazing. I can’t believe how much astronomy I learned in one night. The skies were spectacular and once again Marcus seemed to have an endless fund of knowledge, answering all our questions in detail. The trip was unforgettable and Marcus is clearly a great asset to his company!

Hilo Black Sand Beach Guided Snorkel Tour at Sea Turtle Lagoon
What a great experience!
Reviewed by: ominette@hotmail.com
Our guide Devin was very accommodating and knowledgeable! He was thorough when discussing safety in the reef and how best to use the equipment. He seemed to enjoy the experience as much as we did even though we know he does this every day! We were thrilled to be able to commune with sea turtles as they relaxed in the sunshine. He then navigated us through the coral reef and pointed out a bunch of wildlife we might have never have seen on our own. The snacks and drinks at the end of the tour were exactly what we needed after swimming for an hour and a half. We appreciated the personalized experience and would absolutely do this again!
Aloha and thank you for your kind words. We are thrilled you enjoyed you experience with us and hope to see again on another of our tours.

Deluxe Big Island ATV Tour & Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls
little disappointing
Reviewed by: Michelle
I was impressed with the safety measures taken by the staff for the ATV ride. The waterfall swim was very short, not nearly enough time given for this part of the activity. No safety measures taken for the swim. Rocks were slick - there should be a ladder or some way to enter and exit the water that does not put participants in danger of slipping. The trip down to the waterfall and then back up is somewhat physically taxing and should only be undertaken by physically fit persons.

mahalo melissa, sorry about the late arrivals, we apologize once in a while it does happen road work, detours and lost guests. yes proper attire for ride recommeded, dress and heels oh my goodness that is silly, it is in confirmation as well on what to wear. yes horses are definitely well cared for, very spoiled, they work hard, so we need to love them a little more extra they have their own personality and we love them too.. guides are great and have been in the family for over 30 years. weather is so unpredictable it is a surprise to us on the daily. yes the rain is the best blessing and cools us down. the best rides are the sometimes light rain.. thank you for sending a sweet review, we look forward for you to joining with us again and hope you get to spend more time at the waterfall next time.. mahalo nui! wailea horseback adventure..
