The captain and crew were very welcoming and calm. They were big on everyone having a fun & safe time. The manarays were AMAZING. There were at least 5 that continued to do somersaults within inches of my face.

We were only on island for two days, so we had to make the most of it. Rich picked us up promptly and we set out with a total of nine passengers. The van was comfortable, and Rich had water and lunch ready for us, along with clean jackets and umbrellas for the chilly rainy segments of the trip. The drive was safe and pleasant, and Rich regaled us with information and stories. At each stop, he allowed us ample time and shared interesting information.
This was a wonderful day, and we not only saw the island but also learned a lot. Highly recommended, especially if you can get Rich as your driver/tour guide!

This was our first time riding ATVs and i literally thpught we would get stuck...but these things can go thru anything! My sister rode the single, my daughter and i rode a double. We couldnt help smiling the whole time! We got myddy, but we planned to. The scenery was breathtaking and the falls were muddy from the recent rain, but we didnt care. I would definitely suggest if you are on the fence, dont be! 100,% worth it!!

An incredible experience, had no idea they were that big and they’d get as close as they did. We took all four of our kids ages from 11 to 20 and they all loved it!
Mahalo Heather for the 5 star review! We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We are so happy that you all had a fantastic time on our manta ray night snorkel. Please come see us again on your next visit!

Our family had a ton of fun gazing at the stars. Our guide Krystal was amazing. Her background in astronomy provided a unique experience. She provided so much information about Hawaii, the importance of the stars for Hawaiian navagation, and any other science questions our family had.

The Island Breeze luau was in a beautiful location next to the ocean and the dancers and musicians were excellent. The food was good and it was a fun atmosphere. They did a good job with everything with the COVID restrictions they had to follow.

As a parent of 7 year old twins, who seeks out kid friendly activities, I’m so grateful I chose this show. This was their first show since COVID. They offered a selection of kid friendly food which I appreciated. The rest of the food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! Now to the entertainment. This group of performers were so enthusiastic that the captured my kids attention the whole time. The story they told was beautiful. My kids were doing their best to follow the dancers moves and the waitstaff were so kind to compliment them. The fire dancer at the end got a standing ovation! From the music and performers to the food and staff, they all exceeded any expectations! Well done!

Awana was awesome. He did a great job from the start by getting out group of 20 together in one van. His knowledge of the island’s as well as the big island was extensive. Never a dull moment he kept us laughing and taught us a great deal. All stops were as promised. Would do the tour again

We saw a variety of humpback groups, including a mother with a very curious calf. We even saw one breech a few times! Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Took a lot of questions from the group. We also saw a group of manta rays on our way back to shore! My 4 year old had as equally good time as his grandparents. Would definitely recommend!

We knew that we wanted to visit the Waipio Valley and this was a great way to experience it. The hosts were great and very knowledgeable. We were both beginners at riding and the instruction was simple and easy. We had a great ride. Highly recommended!

This was one of the highlights when mt boyfriend and I visited Hawaii. The crew staff was amazing and very friendly. We ended up being the only two people on the sail boat so it was nice to have it all to ourselves. Would totally do it again!

We had a great time, our guide was super-nice, and we learned a lot about the flora and fauna of the island, as well as farming in different micro-climates.

It was a unique experience. Rich, our tour guide was very informative. We learned a lot about the history of the island of Hawaii as he drove us to different must see locations like the cave, water falls, historic sites. We also learned about plants, volcanoes, fissures, and stars in a day! We saw nebula, galaxies, a couple of satellites, shooting stars and learned about so many other stars in our constellation! It was very educational! Really appreciated it a lot!

This is a wonderful whale watching tour. The crew is super knowledgeable and entertaining. We spotted a bunch of whales and had a great time. We would highly recommend this tour! Sam and Ryan are awesome!
Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to review your Whale Watch cruise for the Veltra Community (and us). We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the trip and got to see so many Humpbacks. We also appreciate your comments about our crew (we have to agree, Captains Sam and Ryan are both great guys, and we're honored they choose to work with us).
We hope we'll get to share more adventures with you next time you're in "our neighborhood"!
Mahalo

Our captain and Amy were Amazing! We saw so many schools of spinner dolphins. Amy told us when to look and where to see some amazing things. They let us enjoy our ride and even almost got to see a whale, it got away. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Nick, Liz and the other girl whos name I can't remember were amazing! They accommodated all our needs and beyond. Sea Quest is awesome. They charged my phone for me while we went out, because my battery was almost dead. Came back and had 74%. Thanks so much to our Captain, our mermaids lol and the rest of the amazing team, for an amazing time and for an unforgettable memory

What an awesome experience that was well worth every penny. Kaleo was a authentic, personable, and knowledgeable tour guide, who was born and raised in the valley. He shared not only the history of the sacred valley, but also stories of his childhood and information on the local wildlife. The tour met at the art gallery, where there are restrooms and parking (and yummy ice cream). From there everyone gets in a van as Kaleo drives the group down to the back of the valley, an area off limits to the general public. The views are incredible from the top to the bottom and back.
Thank for your 5 star review. The windows on the van have been removed for a richer experience. Mahalo Gary

I have brought my exchange students to the Big Island for 3 years and this was my first tour of Waipio. Kaleho our tour guy, being a life long local in the valley was filled with information about the history, biology and legends of this incredibly beautiful valley. So many stories and a safe comfortable tour. There is no glass in the windows in the 4 wheel drive passenger van so lots of airflow in the van. And he keeps a row empty between passengers. Everyone wears masks and sanitizes.
Also the store where you meet up has amazing art, books, music and incredible ice cream!

The ranch that this tour went through was absolutely breath taking and this experience surpassed any expectations I had. The views and the landscape were so amazing as well as the tour guide and other member on the ranch! The tour was so personable and he catered it so well for us. This was such an amazing adventure that everyone needs to experience!!!

事務所の場所がナビでも分かりにくかったですが 途中のジュース屋さんが詳しく教えてくれたので到着できました。急斜面を4駆で谷底に降りて フレンドリーな馬たちに乗ってワイピオ渓谷の川をわたったり、森の中を抜けたり、安全にでき鞍のクッションがいいのかそんなに足(股間)も痛くなかったです。ただ馬の速度がまちまちでガイドさんについていけず、後半は離れてしまって説明が聞き取れず残念。馬さんなので歩調を合わせるのは難しいのかな・・・

馬車で川を渡るところが一番の見せ場ではあるのだけれど、ややスケール感に欠ける。
距離も短く、もうここで終わりって感じなので、この評価です。

普通に親切でいいスタッフでしたが、ツアー自体ネイティブ並みの英語力じゃないときついと思います。普通に、飲み物はアルコール以外は飲み放題でチップスが出ました。30人くらいいて日本人は一切いませんでした。
Aloha,
Thanks for your feedback and taking the time to review us. We hope you'll give us another try on your next visit to the islands. Until then, A hui hou!

夫、5歳の子どもと参加しました。
30〜40分かけてシュノーケリングスポットに行きますが、波がかなり高く乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め薬必須だと思います。
目的地まで行く間も鯨が見えたりと子ども大興奮でした。
シュノーケリングは5歳の子どもは最初は怖がっていましたが、ボディーボードのようなものに乗って一部が透明になっているのでそこを覗きながら楽しんでいました。海もとても綺麗で家族で大変満足しています。
是非また参加したいツアーでした。

家族三人での朝からの乗馬体験。
全員初めてでしたが楽しかった。
青空とグリーンの景色が最高で広々とした牧場を2時間ほど。途中何度か駆け足で進んでみたりドキドキでしたが、娘も楽しんでいました。
標高の高いところでは雲の中に入って行ったり、ガイドのお姉さんがわかりやすい英語で説明してくれたり、みんなの状況を見ながら気遣ってくれたりと安心でもありました。2.5時間プランお薦めです。
素晴らしい体験!また行きたい!
