Great fun - very different from other Hawaiian activities. However, be aware that they do not go over to the beach. We all thought it was great fun - this is not for the "high end shoppers club" - this is for those that want to experience the "real Hawaii"!

The crew was fantastic. A very unique way to see ocean life up close. It was a bit crowded and you have to bend over to see out the windows if you are taller than 5 foot, but you soon forget about that as you look through your window.

The staff was great. Good outdoor activity; even mm mother thought it was the best thing we did. Snacks should have been healthier, especially considering the price; more things like the pineapple, lose the chips.

This is the best luau i have ever been! Not only is it very affordable but the host is very informative on the cultures of the hawaiians and the other polynesian tribes. My best friend and I had soo much fun in this luau and plus we are amazed at the fire show that they put on. We were very overwhelmingly satisfied w/ the amount of food that they serve (about 20 diff kinds of hawaiian dishes)not to mention the 2 hours open bar! I had too much mai tais w/in two hours! This is a great luau to go to for first timers or as regulars.

We thoroughly enjoyed this activity. The ride down and up from the Valley was challenging but we had an experienced driver who navigated the road expertly. Both of our guides grew up in Waipio Valley so they were well prepared to introduce us to its history and special characteristics. With a few simple instructions we were able to ride the horses along the valley trails and felt like we actually learned a bit about riding horses. The valley was beautiful and the ride was quite enjoyable. We throughly recommend this adventure.

I went on this tour alone and found it very informative with lots to do even if you have nobody to share it with. The other tourists were very friendly and helped me take plenty of pictures and the tour guide was a sponge of information!

Garfield was a truly excellent tour guide. His stories made the tour a lot of fun. He managed to give a lot of detail about the history of Pearl Harbor and the Missouri and not make it seem like a history lesson. The only thing that would make it better was it it was longer. You can't see the whole island in a day, but we got to see some of the most important spots.
I would thoroughly recommend the tour and make sure to ask for Garfield.

It was definitely a unique experience, and having it depart from the pier in downtown Kona was great. We saw some marine life, though I guess we expected a bit more variety of fish (mostly yellow ones). Guess the fish don't come when it's sub time though! We loved looking at the coral and seeing a whole different world under the surface.
We did buy the CD that was offered for $20 with your picture, thinking it would have a variety of marine life pictures from previous trips, but on first inspection, it doesn't appear to have much. We did get our picture on the CD plus pictures of everyone else on the ride ... Don't think it was worth the $20.
Overall, a great and unique thing to do and I'd definitely recommend it to first-timers and those with kids, but not something I'd do again I don't think.

This was a great time. The staff was helpful and friendly in making sure you had a great time. Kayaking was a good and steady pace. Snorkeling was amazing! Being underwater with the fish and coral is a must see! Seeing dolphins playing close by is really neat too.
Cave was a bit disappointing, being only 30 feet deep, you coulnd't really go in them.
If you are up for the extreme, try the cliff jump, its definately a thrill and safe.
All in all, a good experience; great way to spend a morning in Hawaii.

It was a great experience!! Our initially planned time had to be canceled because the winds were too high. However, we were able to reschedule for the following day. In the end, we were the only ones on the boat. Peyton and Dustin were great!! They made sure we were comfortable with the equipment and added to our enjoyment. We would recommend this experience to anyone. Beautiful view -- gotta love flying!

This ride was so much fun! The staff was excellent and made the experience even better. Getting to ride in an area with streams, rivers and taro fields was such a meaningful experience for me. The horses were very well mannered and we are not great riders. I would recommend this adventure to anyone going to the Big Island.

Fair Winds Staff were very friendly and professional. Service felt very personalized even with such a large amount of people. Boat was very comfortable and we had a very pleasant journey to the Captain Cook Monument (our snorkel spot). Kids loved the water slide and high dive off the boat as much as the snorkeling experience.

A group of eight of us, my wife and I, our 9 year old daughters, my sister and her husband, and my brother and his wife, went kayaking for the first time with Ocean Safari Kayaks, and we all agreed that is was one of the best activities of our whole trip. The staff, Mikey and Debbie, was very friendly, informative, and supportive and the locations we visited were awesome. Although not as leisurely as going on a snorkeling trip with a power boat or raft company, I'd say this trip gives you more of a sense of adventure. We were able to check out the Dragon's Throat Sea Cave, which was a bit intimidating, but with their guidance, were able to successfully enter. Then, came the snorkeling which was awesome, and most importantly the cliff dive. That is one experience I may never stop talking about. My brother, brother in law, and I all took the plunge, not to mention being upstaged by Mikey doing a spectacular backflip off the cliff. Anyway, I could go on and on about this, but its d

This was our first time to the Islands and our first Luau. We were not disappointed. We had a fantastic time and loved the entertainment. The host was great and very informative of the Hawiian and Polynesian cultures. We loved the costumes and how the dancers interacted with the guest. We upgraded our tickets and ended up sitting in the very front row. WoW! We could not have had a better time.

Staff was very knowledgable and friendly. We did the afternoon cruise and were amazed by how many people they fit onto the boat...it was huge. The snorkling was great and it was easily modifed for all ability levels from small (2 yr old) children, to the elderly. They do not provide life vests, but you dont need them. They do have waist floats if you would feel more comfortable. Great time
