Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist

Fun Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

It was a fun experience. We got to see lots of different fish. Taking pictures is hard though because fish and boat moving, and hard to see when developed because of glass.

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

We loved our guides

Reviewed by: Hunter

Keone we think and Jay were wonderful guides and added greatly to the beautiful experience of riding in Waipio Valley. Their friendlyness and helpfullness really made the ride from great to an amazing experience. It was fun to ride through water and learn about the valley. I would recommend it to anyone interested in horseback riding. The horses were easy to ride but also had some personality which is always fun and the guides did a good job of teaching the basics and what to do to stay safe.

Waipio Valley Wagon Tour & Big Island Tropical Waterfalls Adventure [Closed]

Awesome scenery, great guide!

Reviewed by: Randy and Cyndi

This very pleasant tour gave us a unique look at some awesome scenery that is hidden away deep in the Waipio Valley. The wagon was surprisingly comfortable, and the mules were photogenic! Even though it rained quite a bit, we didn't get very wet. Our guide was a resident of the valley himself, and his family had lived there for several generations. He was both entertaining and informative. Don't miss this opportunity to see a piece of genuine Hawaii up close!

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Fantasitic Cruise

Reviewed by: Davis

The sunset cruise we took was awesome. They have excelled my expectation on every aspects: the boat, crew, food, entertainment, etc. The cruise ended with the beautiful Hawaiian sunset over the vast Pacific Ocean. We even got to see a pod of dolphins as a bonus. I'll recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice all-around sunset cruise. Mahalo!

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Awesome!

Reviewed by: Tracey K.

Paradise Helicopters is an excellent company and I would highly recommend the Fire and Falls tour out of Hilo. For three of the four of us, this was our first time in a helicopter and it was amazing. Our pilot Dylan was fantastic and gave us a personal guided tour which was great because the whole ride was very interactive. Definitely the best way to see the Volcano and Water Falls!

Waipio Valley Wagon Tour & Big Island Tropical Waterfalls Adventure [Closed]

See the real Hawaii

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This trip is recommended if you can't hike into Waipio or ride on horseback to see. We had a family with two small children visiting, so this was a perfect way for our guests to see and understand some of Hawaii -- botanically, geologically, culturally -- authentically. This trip is for people who want to get off of the beaten path and are genuinely interested in hearing native Hawaiians discuss their culture and their land.

This was a great time for me and my husband. We took this day break to visit the island of Oahu ... and the WWII monument at Pearl Harbor. It was really an eye opener and refreshing reminder of the sacrifices made by our service men and women. No words! Our guide was fantastic and fun and very well organized. Highly Recommended!!!

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Gotta Do the Doors Off!!!

Reviewed by: Robin & Julie O'Neill

Doors Off is the ONLY way to go!!! Mahalo so much for the awesome tour experience over the Kilauea Lava Flow. Dylan was a great pilot and was very knowledgeable about the Hawaiian terrain we were flying over. He definitely provided a great commentary and guide to the beautiful sights below us. We have taken helicopter tours before over such things as Niagara Falls, but we will not want to be flying with doors on ever again. We highly recommend the doors off experience, it is second to none

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

A Lot of fun & Beautiful views

Reviewed by: Bill

While the shear beauty of the valley is worth the trip out to Waipio, our guide made the day a special one. He was funny, knowledgeable and a pretty good photographer. We brought home some great memories and the pictures to keep them fresh. The ride was pretty tame, which was fine for us. The horses were gentle and the pace was leisurely and relaxing.

Waipio Valley Wagon Tour & Big Island Tropical Waterfalls Adventure [Closed]

Wagon ride could be a little longer

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

For the money we payed there should have been less time getting the mule ready when we got to the bottom they should of been ready to go. The wagon trip was very informative but for the money we paid it wasn't long enough. The trip down the hill was very good. Over all I liked the whole experience. Just needed the wagon part to be longer.

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

Expected more

Reviewed by: Cali Girl

After reading about how wonderful the Waipio Valley Ride was, I was excited to go. I have shown horses for over 20 years and know my way around a horse. When we arrived at the stables, and, yes, the road into the valley was an experience to be had, I was very disappointed in the quality of the horses. I over heard one worker state that most of the horses were lame.

The ride itself was peaceful and the scenery was beautiful. The guide took us on public roads and down a short stream; the actual ride was about 1 1/2 hours long. My horse was pleasant to ride and knew his job.

The guides were okay but spent a great deal of time talking with locals or riding off on their own. Several times very inexperienced riders were left by themselves and seemed very uncomfortable; I would not be surprised if their experience was not a good one. I am glad nothing bad happened but it easily could have.

I would do this activity again but probably with another operator.

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

We had a great time!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a great time on the Big Island tour today. The flight was
awesome. The pilot, Koji, did a terrific job. He made sure folks on
both sides of the helicopter saw the sights-Pu'u O'o, lava flowing
into the ocean, waterfalls, etc. It was our first time in a helicopter
and it was a great experience.

The reservationists were patient and informative. The folks at the
terminal were helpful, supportive and very upbeat-they truly seemed
excited for us.

We will be sure to spread the good word about your outfit.

Thank you for making the experience positive, simple and memorable for
us.

...about to this cruise. My children and I utterly loved this tour and I just want to thank the unforgettable crew members who made this trip a highlight of our vacation. From the moment we stepped onto the boat until we stepped off, it was an absolute pleasure.

Hearing my children's sounds of joy when they saw their first whale breach from the water is something that I will remember always.

TOTALLY AMAZING! When my friends and I saw this tour we were like, "Hmmm, whale watching? Sure why not!" and I am so glad that we decided to go. The boat was great, the view was priceless and seeing humpback whales jumping and slapping the water is something that I will never forget...ever. Like what a great memory to bring back home with me.

Bike to Pele - Hawaii Volcano Biking Tour at Puna Lava Fields [Open Soon]

Wonderful way to see the Volcano!

Reviewed by: Lisa

I really enjoyed this trip and it was well worth it. We toured the park on bike and enjoyed the beautiful day. The ride was not too difficult for those who aren't in the best of shape like myself. The staff is prepared for rain and also provide snacks and water to keep you refreshed. The only thing I wasn't happy about was that we did not go to *closely* see where the lava hits the ocean; however, it would have been another 16 miles round-trip, so I can understand :). Guide did recommend where we could go park and see it later that evening. All in all it was a great trip with awesome guides!

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Great!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Our group of 4 booked a "doors off" helicopter ride through Paradise Helicopters. None of our group had ever been in a helicopter before and this exceeded all of our expectations. The front desk staff was courteous and upbeat. The guy doing the safety briefing was thorough and knowledgeable while infusing some humor into the "speech". Our pilot was Joyce and we could not have asked for a better experience. Because there were 4 of us, we took every seat on the helicopter. We were concerned at first about the view from the front-middle seat, but she could still see everything, though you do miss the experience of sitting right by the window.

Joyce did a great job of going over the different areas multiple times so each side of the helicopter could see what was below. Joyce spoke clearly and slowly and we never had a problem hearing what she was saying and she would repeat the "attractions" for both sides of the helicopter.

If you have the option of choosing your pilot, you want J

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Lava Hunting!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We did the "Fire & Falls" tour and loved it (although we both got a bit airsick, but that's not the company's fault, that's just because we're prone to it - the other couple with us was fine). I had picked Paradise because it was the cheapest air tour of the volcano (in terms of cost per minute), but I can't imagine why I would pay more for another company because this ride was everything we wanted.

We did the "doors off" tour and it was a 4-person helicopter (not incl. the pilot), so everyone had a fantastic view. I would highly recommend the doors-off experience. My husband is a bit afraid of heights, and even he agreed that doors-off was worth it (but a bit frightening for him). Our pilot was Jesse and he was a lot of fun.

What I loved is that if a passenger spotted lava, our pilot would circle back (as if we were "lava hunting") and make sure that everyone got a view.

The waterfalls portion was brief, and at the end. The main attraction of this tour is the volcano/lava.
