Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Awesome company and great experience!

Reviewed by: Quinn

Very pleased with our mantra dive experience. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and took charge to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. At one point a few children refused to stop kicking their legs in the water after being asked numerous times to keep still (or else they scare the plankton away and therefore mantas don’t come), after the children repeatedly showed they could not follow directions they were asked to leave the water, as to ensure a good experience for the other people on the excursion. Very much appreciated that. Also great snacks, and fun music!

Seemed to be a very special experience and we were surprised it is marketed as family friendly. In our opinion, only well-behaved kids over ~9 should come on this... otherwise there runs a risk of ruining it for everyone, or even hurting the mantas.

4.5-Hour Deluxe Kona Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch with Lunch - Body Glove Cruise

Excellent Experience

Reviewed by: April from Dallas Tx

I really enjoyed my experience. It’s not just snorkeling but they had paddle boats, water tube, a mat that allowed you to lay out in the ocean. The lunch cruise had grilled hornet burgers with soft buns. The drinks were tasty! Crew was friendly but very strict when it came to the rules, however, everyone made it back home safely. Great experience with my family!

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

シーカヤックでの船酔いには気を付けて

Reviewed by: スミス

ツアー内容自体は良いものでしたが、シーカヤックで船酔いをしてしまい、洞窟まで我慢し到着したのは良かったのですが、気持ちが悪くて一足先に引き返すことになりました。8－10組ペアのシーカヤックが参加していますが、4組ほど早帰りとなりました。船酔いする方は、出発前に酔い止めの薬を飲むことをお勧めします。ツアーガイドの2人の方は、面白くてとても良い方でした。携帯で写真を撮りたい方は、ストラップ付の防水のパウチに携帯を入れて持参することをお勧めします。

Big Island Highlights Tour - Volcano, Waterfall, Black Sand Beach, Coffee & Wine

Great tour

Reviewed by: Jayjay

I went solo. There were 2 tour guides. They were informative and funny. I threw up because of road sick and maybe too much caffeine and food coma in the morning (I assumed - I ate my bf&coffee b4 the tour started and ate their bf & tasted their coffee again). The lady guide took care of me well. Other people in the trip were nice too. Some lady gave me a motion sickness pill and some lady asked me how I was feeling. Thanks!

We went to 6-7 places. I like the black sand beach the most. Walking through the volcano tube was fun. But another volcano attraction was not I expected because we couldn’t get too close to the volcano. It was dangerous Lol. So I couldn’t get a clear pics of the crater.

Big island is a black island (in my opinion) because of dry black lava spreading all over the island.

They picked me up in the morning and dropped me off at the Kona airport in the evening. I flew for a day trip. Call them when you arrived at the airport. They need a reminder. I think my tour guides were Gary and Gabbie. I bought this trip to celebrate my bday. Great serviceThank you!

Island Breeze Big Island Kona Luau at King Kamehameha Hotel with Open Bar

Well done show, good food

Reviewed by: jpimsler

On the specific date we went it rained, so that's a lost star that's in no way their fault! If we had wanted to leave and not stay in the rain they would have given us a refund or moved the tickets to a different date.

The show as very educational and the dancing was great! Our one year old was in a trance! Such awesome culture across the Pacific islands. The food was really good and big portions/as much as you want since it's a buffet. Before you leave check out the Hawaiian/Polynesian exhibit inside the hotel.

Exceeded expectations

Outstanding in every regard. Our guides were professional but warm and engaging. Teegan and Haley were knowledgeable and very personable. The equipment was well maintained. The ride was just the right length. The view was as incredible as advertised. The tandem ATV’s were easy to handle and a lot of fun, but never felt overwhelming. Would highly recommend!

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

Memorable horseback riding in a uniquely Hawaiian setting

Reviewed by: tweist

We greatly enjoyed our morning horse ride in the Waipio Valley. Our guides are local residents of the valley who are very proud of the history and the culture. The horses were calm and very sure footed. The lack of in depth introductions about the history and culture of the valley and the unpredictable weather in the valley were largely compensated by the hospitality of the guides, the almost mystic atmosphere of the majestic valley, and arrays of exotic flora of the fertile valley floor. I wish the black sand beach was part of the tour. I might be asking too much but horse riding on the black sand beach could be the highlight of a perfect tour!

A very special experience

Reviewed by: Andrea from Hilo

Pete and Kiera were outstanding guides for this sweet stroll through the back roads of the sacred land of Waipio Valley. I am a former horse owner and have ridden for years, and found my horse well cared for and responsive.

My friend loved the experience too! He is an intermediate rider and the guides did an excellent job of helping all levels feel safe. The ride down and back up to the valley is part of the fun too!

Don't pass up an opportunity to take this ride while you are on this beautiful Island!

Gorgeous Ride

Reviewed by: Stefanie

Unforgettable ride through the valley. There were 7 of us + 2 guides (+ 4 dogs who tagged along for their morning walk!). Incredible views, and we lucked out with perfect weather. It felt like an adventure rather than a tour; our route took us through streams, and we saw many wild horses, including a couple of fouls! I came with my mom, who isn't keen on doing activities like this, but she loved it. Thank you!

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Easiest snorkeling we've ever done

Reviewed by: Dave W

This is an amazing experience and it's so easy, you barely need to know how to swim. You just lay w/ your face in the water and the mantas come to you. Actually they come to feed on plankton which are attracted by the lights that the crew shine in the water. It's a super-cool experience and the crew on our boat were awesome. Highly recommended.
