Our guide Jeff picked us up from the Pu'u Huluhulu Cinder Cone parking lot, at the base of the road up to the summit. We had a very nice pre-packaged dinner at the base camp, then rode up to the visitor center and onward to the observatories. A bumpy and steep ride, I was very happy to have an experienced driver at the wheel!
At the top the weather was cool and clear and good for viewing a sunset, then we went down to a slightly lower lot to view stars and planets through a good quality Celestron scope.... the clear air and high altitude really added detail! First time I have been able to make out the rings of Saturn, and four of Jupiter's moons were posing really well for us! Some really excellent deep space views too! Check out a cool image of the moon from the Celestron scope....
Highly recommended, especially if you live somewhere with so much haze and light pollution you don't get to see that stars that well!
Mahalo!!

中学生の娘と参加。ふたりとも英語力が足りないので、ガイドの方の言っている説明が、理解できない部分が多くありました。質問すれば教えてくれるけど、あまり親切に心配りをしてくれるとか、配慮をしてくれるとかは、なかったかな。雨が結構ふっていたし、同じ道をUターンしている感じで、単調な道のり。かしてくれた雨具は、優秀で、隠れている部分は全然ぬれなかったです。晴れてたら、気持ちよかったのかなー。

This adventure was awesome! Lots of fish at both areas but especially the second area. We were the only boat at the second place we went to and there were tons of fish! I wish I would've taken my own snorkel gear but I'll make sure I do next time. Their gear was ok though.
5 hours was a good amount of time and we didn't feel rushed at either stopping area.
The breakfast was good.
I don't eat meat and the veggie burger that they made was pretty bad. I have never had a veggie burger that I liked. I love having everything on a bun with cheese though and that was great.

Overall, the trip was outstanding. The views were great...a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would recommend this tour to anyone that doesn’t get sea sick.
The only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars is I grew up on the Pacific Ocean and have piloted 16’ boat through much choppier waters than we saw. The tour advertises you WILL get wet, and you WILL “feel” the ride, and our captain MADE sure each of us did just that. Unnecessary bottoming out of the boat, turning into waves to drench the passengers and speeding into wave swells made an awesome, incredible trip just good. Speaking to my wife, and several other families that we met on the boat afterward, they all had the same independent view that the captain and crew intentionally made the ride tougher and drenched the passengers to “live up” to their online advertising.
About two weeks prior to our trip, the “lava bomb” was all over the news(yes, it was the same company) and it was well documented that the captains needed to stay at least 900 feet away from lava flowing into the ocean per US coast guard regulations. You’d think that with the recent accident, the captain would’ve been much more safety conscious than what was described above, as well as getting within 150-200 feet on numerous occasions.

The Manta experiences one of the greatest things I’ve ever done in my life you need to recommend this all of your friends. The crew was the greatest they were attentive of all your needs. They did everything that they could do to put you in full view of the mantas and they were truly wonderful . I hope that I will be able to return To Kona someday and do this again with the same crew.

The tour guide Herald was very nice, friendly and knowledgeble on native hawaiian's culture, ecology and astronomy. We got to see a "natural planetarium" in the mountain including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. Coming from a big city we don't see stars in the sky, so the view was just breath taking and we were soooo glad we participated in the tour. I guess you can go to the summit and see stars on your own but I'd strongly recommend this tour. Because I think it will give you a whole new experience and view on the island and their culture.
Dinner was tasty too. I was expecting a lot less.

I wasn't sure if the tour was worth the money, and also read one negative review about this, which made me hesitant to book the tour. But with the current situation with volcano, the ways available to see lava is either by air or from a boat. I decided to go with the more affordable one.
The ride was very rough. It was fun at first but by the time we got to the point where we can see lava my husband was sea sick and pretty much throwing up everything he had for breakfast and didn't have any energy to actually enjoy the view. I was feeling a bit sick too but not enough to throw up and was able to see how lava was flowing into ocean and how smoke/steam was rising. The view was absolutely spectacular and I don't think you can see anything like that unless you come here. Hence, I'd recommend the tour to everyone but with a medicine for sea sick just in case ;)

We thoroughly enjoyed the Manta Ray excursion. The tour guide was great with telling us about the history of this tour and details about the behavior and nature of these Manta Rays. My daughter was most impressed. Although she’s 9yo and a good swimmer, she was still a little nervous about snorkeling at night and meeting these Manta Rays that could come inches to your face. However, the tour guide has made everyone felt safe and she was able to enjoy the magnificence of these gentle sea creatures. Highly recommended

When I booked this trip to Hawaii, I was not anticipating Kilauea to erupt actively. In fact when it came on the news that this volcano was spewing lava, I was ready to cancel this trip. However, Kilauea is on the Southeast end of the island and Waikoloa, where we were staying, was far from the volcanic activity. So, we not only kept our trip to big island of Hawaii but also added a helicopter ride to witness an active volcano, which is not something Californians can see on a regular basis, more of a once in a lifetime.
Our pilot, Scott, was great. He took the time to explain what we were seeing, took into consideration of Sophia’s, my 9yo daughter, wanting to see and learn more about this magnificent phenomenon (in fact it was the whole reason for booking this helicopter tour), and took into consideration in providing a smooth, fun, helicopter ride without missing out on being able to see what we need to enjoy the experience of viewing the natural activities of an active volcano. This tour was so worth it. Highly recommended

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.
Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

I was super hesitant to book this tour and unsure if it was worth the money at first. I finally decided, when am I ever going to get a chance to see an active volcano again? I am soooo glad I booked it. The captain and crew on this boat were absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, and helpful to the seasick. The ride alone was a great time, the sunrise was amazing, and I was completely awe-struck at how close we rode to the lava and how long we stayed there to enjoy it.
I will highly recommend dramamine the night before and morning of as the ride out is a little rough. The crew is more than upfrint about this and super helpful if you do get sick. This review is coming from someone who gets extremely sea sick and threw up the entire ride back,
and I still would go again and think it was worth every penny. Beats a helicoptor tour by a million for the experience and cost!

私は海が大好きで、いろいろなところでシュノーケリングをすることで亀やイルカと泳いだ経験はありました。耳が悪いので、ダイビングをすることができません。でも、マンタはなかなか水面までは来てくれません。なので、マンタをまじかで見ることは諦めていましたが、このツアーだと、次から次へと遊びに来てくれます♡
ライトの近くを囲んでシュノーケリルをつけて観察する感じで、一緒に泳ぐというよりは、マンタがライトに集まって来たプランクトンを食べに来てくれるという感じでした。それでも、マンタが自分でぶつかってくるほど近くに来てくれたので、こちらが避けないとならないほどでした。
マンタのお腹の中までよく見えます。
多分6-7枚のマンタがエンドレスで順繰り廻って来てくれる感じでした。運が良かったのかもしれないですが本当に楽しめました!
Go proは絶対持って行くべきです。
あと、船の上では私は全く寒くなかったです。
ただ、日本人は寒がりな人が多いので、タオルを呼びで1枚持って行く、もしくはトレーナーなどを持って行ってもいいのかもしれません。
Thank you for your kind review. We are happy you enjoyed your snorkel trip to see the mantas.
