UFO Parasail Adventure - Best Kona Parasailing Tour

Amazing Bird's-Eye View

I went parasailing with my father (55 years old) and nephew (7 years old). All three of us loved it! My father and nephew went tandem and I took pictures of them. My nephew absolutely loved it, especially when they were dipped in the water on the way back in to the boat. I went up by myself and I can't even begin to describe how peaceful it is. There is virtually no noise and the views are amazing. You can see the coral in the ocean, even from 1,000 feet up! The guides were great; they were fun and knowledgeable. They also had great recommendations for food, drinks, and snorkeling. The price is a bit high but overall worth it. Not only do you go parasailing but you also get a fun boat ride.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Ocean Safari's Kayak

Reviewed by: Cheryl

We had a wonderful time on our Keauhou Sea Cave Kayak Adventure. Our main guide, Kevin, was wonderful. He was very concerned about our safety and enjoyment of the outing. We were able to kayak into a large sea cave before paddling over to our snorkeling destination. Many were adventurous and jumped off the 25 foot high cliff into the water, including my husband! One of our daughters and I snorkeled away from the main group a bit and I saw a few hundred yellow tang - more than I've ever seen before! There were many other kinds of fish there as well as Hawaii's state fish. Our oldest daughter had her snorkeling cut short when she got stung by a small jelly fish on the foot, as did one or two others in our tour, but that's a risk when in the ocean. Kevin and another Ocean Safari staff member who was there with his own tour both checked on our daughter after getting her back in the kayak. We had some snacks on the rocks near the tide pools before heading back to the kayaks for the

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

Thanks again

Reviewed by: Aimee and John

John and I wanted to send this email thanking everyone at Paradise for a once in a lifetime experience on our vacation. We took one of your newer trips which flew out of Kona, over the valleys, drop off in Hilo for the day (with paid rental car), then over the Volcanoes, and back to Kona. We really enjoyed the entire day. In fact we hadn't originally thought we would get to visit the Hilo area since the drive from Kona is a couple of hours. So not only did we get to see beautiful valleys, waterfalls, and running lava from air but we got to explore the Rain forest national Zoo, The Volcano national Park, Rainbow Falls, and Akaka Falls all by land as well. Also our pilot Steve was so informative and friendly he really helped make our day just that much more special. I'm sure he flies the same routes every day, yet you couldn't tell. His passion for the land, and surroundings was contagious. Thanks again, we included some of our amazing trip photos.

Reviewed by: Donald

This was by far the best activity I have experienced in both my visits to Hawaii. The tour guide (Eric) was exceptionally knowledgeable and he was also very patient with the group. His assistant (Willie) could not do enough for us. The activity was fun, enjoyable and conducted in a very safe manner. Both guides did everything possible to ensure we all had an equally good time. We learned a lot, burned some un-needed calories and had a fun time too! I would give this activity my highest recommendation. You won't be sorry you did it.

Ocean Sports Kohala Coast Snorkel Cruise with Lunch and Open Bar

Catamaran Black Sand Snorkel

Reviewed by: Paul

Excellent. To start, we went out on the Sea Smoke, little did we know, this was owned by James Arness (Gun Smoke TV show) and he raced this from LA to Hawaii and beat the pack by 2-days… So we were sailing on a piece of history.
Crew was awesome and extremely hospitable. Equipment was very good; food and beverages were high quality and fresh.
We arrived at the dive spot and it was amazing, sea turtles to say the least. The black sand beach was amazing and really different than the typical white sugar sand that most beaches are made of.
I would recommend this to all skill levels and all ages.
On the way back they sent up the sails and turned the engine off, we enjoyed the speed and stability that 60’ catamarans are famous for.
If you have a chance, don't miss this opportunity to view the Big Island and its beautiful coastline from the ocean… Well worth the 4-hour snorkel adventure and very convenient to find as this is anchored at the Waikoloa Marriot.

First Rate/Best Deal

Reviewed by: linda

I took my 85 year old mother who has some physical limitations, my 73 year old husband, and my self (62) on the midday (no meal) cruise and snorkeling adventure. It was heavenly! The staff gave a general, easy to understand lesson to all. When my mother got down the stairs she decided she did not want to go. The staff people told me to go ahead that they would take care of her. A few minutes later she was out viewing the reef with a tube and a box. My husband did the same. I was able to relax and enjoy without worries. Thank you so much for one of the most pleasurable things I have done!

The kayaking was not as tiring as I anticipated. My kids' highlight of the tour was the 25ft cliff jump (I only jumped the 10 ft cliff). They can't stop talking about it; truly awesome. We snorkeled on our way back from the caves. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again.

The beauty I witnessed on this tour will stay with me for the rest of my life. The island has such drastic changes in it's beauty and scenery.

I left the spa feeling a lot less stress and I was in a state of pure relaxation. Just because you are a man doesn't mean you can't benefit from a few hours at a spa.

Saddle Road Exploration Hike (Easy to Strenuous)

Lava Rock Hiking

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Hiking over lava rock was an interesting experience. When you look out and see miles of lava rock it is like being on the surface of the moon. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to interesting points of interest. There aren't many places in the world where you can hike on what use to be an active lava flow. Hawaii's beauty, mixed in the with strangeness of lava rock, created a unique and interesting hike for us.

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

sunset cruise that wasn't

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

On July 2nd, The historical sunset cruise we took was fabulous right until the end but we were very disappointed that the captain elected to dock five minutes too soon. A fantastic sunset was in the making and if we had slowed down five minutes we would have been treated to a terrific sky. Everyone with a camera was out on deck with cameras ready, and we just pulled right in to dock watching the sun slip behind the island instead of over the water where it would have been had we stayed out five more minutes. I know for certain many others were unhappy with this handling of time. Why we had to dock so quickly is a mystery to me.

Get there early!

Reviewed by: lori

It was a wonderful evening. We got there early, about 3pm, (highly recommended), paid an extra 15 dollars for front seating, and had a wonderful time. We were front row center of stage. With the early seating, we were first in line to get in, we were first in line for food and drinks, not to mention the view of the performance. The line was very long for those not paying the extra money. Food was so-so, but the dancers were stunning. My grand-daughter, 8, was absolutely enthralled with the show. Would recommend to first timers, but not sure if I would spend the money to see it twice.

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

Open Door Experience with waterfall

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We took the open door with landing at Jack's lava house. It was a very neat experience getting to walk on the lava rock. Be prepared for being wind-blown on the open doors, and take a jacket as it can be chilly in the air. Overall a very nice experience, but don't expect big "red lava flows" as that is not realistic. You can't exactly "feel the heat" and the waterfalls are not close up views they are more from a distance and thrown in at the end, But still pretty spectacular scenery!
