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.

Had the best time parasailing w/UFO! The guys were great!! My friend was a little nervous about going, but they eased her mind. Excellent that they took pix for us. I just went parasailing in Honolulu this week and the company I went with was nothing compared to UFO! No explanations, no joking around, etc...

An amazing activity definately recommended to be done on Big Island. You get a narrated tour and see the flowing lava fields and the lava hitting the sea. A once in a life time experience. You see sights that you wouldn't see from ground level. Worth every penny. Very friendly staff.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's
Big Island Keauhou Sea Cave Kayak
Reviewed by: Rob
The guides were very skilled and experienced. They were very helpful on the trip. Mid-trip snack could have been a little more substantial, however one can carry only so much on a kayak. There was really one small "cave" to see, but it was still a good time.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Excellent Experience
Reviewed by: Sylvia
The tour was excellent and the guide had a lot of passion for what he does, so it was kind of contagious. He told us a lot of interesting stories making the trip very entertain. Dinner was very good and they provide us with coats and globes which we really needed. Then we had a second stop to explain to us about the telescopes and what is being measured. Finally we arrived at the top. I must admit I got very sick, but the guide had warned us that it could happen and recommended to sit on the floor. That is exactly what I did. I didn’t like the feeling at all, but I saw the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen so it was worth the bad 5 minutes feeling LOL but I wouldn’t recommend it to people with heart problems. After the breath taking view we went down and watch the starts through a telescope. The guide explained a lot of things I didn’t know. I am not very knowledgeable about astronomy but I really learned a lot and enjoy the time. I will definitely recommend it as a must see

Doors off
Reviewed by: Glenn
The "doors off" was everything I had expected.....spectacular!!! Combine this with Jacks Volcano House Landing and you have a fantastic adventure. Jack Thompson met us and was a very cordial tour guide of the devastation that has occured arround his house. The pilot was an obvious experienced professional. The flight was smooth and not "white knuckle" at all. My wife was even pleasantly surprised, and she hates to fly!!!

great trip all around!!!
Reviewed by: Robert
Both of the guides were outstanding!!! They were knowledgable and entertaining!!! We went 12 miles which seemed to go by in only minutes... we had fequent stops tons of Hawaiian and volcano history. A longer ride would not have been an issue for me and would have been very enjoyable!!! The food was outstanding and our day was absolutely awesome!!! The views were amazing and we would have missed so many of them if we had not taken the bike ride! I highly recommend the trip and I hope you have the same guides. They truely made the trip more than a bike ride! Have fun, I did!!!

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]
Horse back riding
Reviewed by: al
It was fun and the staff was great! I rate an overall 5 star but I think the horse back route could be a little more interesting if we had gone in a circle instead of taking the left route then turn back the same way and then take the right route and then turn back to get back and that would complete the journey. But don't get me wrong, the ride was exciting and very entertaining!

Morning Whale Watch & Snorkel BBQ Cruise (from Kailua-Kona Pier)
Great Experience!
Reviewed by: AmandaT
My husband and I went on the morning boat ride and snorkel - we saw both whales and dolphins! I never thought to see so many, there must have been 40 dolphins, and they were even jumping out of the water.
From the prairies I've never had much experience with the ocean and I was nervous how people would treat me given I was nervous. But the staff was excellent, they were helpful and informative, and you could tell they really love their job.
I had an excellent time snorkeling, and my husband did the SNUBA which he also enjoyed a lot. It was a beautiful location.
My only recommendation is to bring extra anti-nauseant medication if you know you get queasy! Mine ran out - but it only serves further to speak of the crew, they took care of me and even had ginger drinks to help calm my stomach.
I'd go on this cruise again in an instance, it was longer than I thought, and the food was good too. What an experience!

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's
Good Trip
Reviewed by: Steve and Sara A.
This trip was long and somewhat strenuous. The sea cave was a bit of a let down. It was not as cool as it looked online. The snorkling was great and the tour guides definately knew there stuff. I would not reccomend this trip for a first time kayaker. The water was a little ruff on the way back which made it a long row. For the dare devils there was a 15 foot cliff to jump off. They also provided snacks and juices including fresh pineapple. Overal we had a great time.

This was a pleasant outing and particularly enjoyable for kids. If you think you might get seasick, I would recommend you take a ginger capsule before you go. Looking down into the water can make you a little queezy. Very informative and was helpful to have someone describing what you see.

Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist
Non snorkelers - don't miss out!
Reviewed by: JK
I don't know how to swim, and no way would I try snorkeling without even knowing how to float, so this was right up my alley. The staff was engaging and funny and knew a lot about the fish that we saw. We floated over several clusters of coral and although I didn't see anything as cool as a dolphin or manta ray, I did see a variety of exotic fish I had never known outside of an aquarium. Sadly, it's a quick 1 hour because you're so focused on looking at the windows that you lose track of time.
I don't recommend taking tons of pictures like someone here suggested, only because the fish move so fast that you'd probably get bad shots anyway and secondly, you really want to enjoy this uninterrupted without a contraption mounted to your face. Maybe take a snapshot of the first reef so you can tell people "I experienced this," then put the camera away for good.

Island Breeze Big Island Kona Luau at King Kamehameha Hotel with Open Bar
Island Breeze Luau - Kona
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
Food and show was good. But, we would like to have some more interaction with audiences to perform Luau dance. We were expecting atleast that during the course of performances. Though it was done as brief introductory on Luau dance before the show began but it would be nice if we could participate as family then it would be very very more vibrant live show where family, friends, kids everybody can enjoy and have fun. This is a small request if they can spend some time during their main course of performance on this.
Other than that food, drinks are delicious. Here is a small request if they can put name tag in front of the each of the dish / item so people who are verigiterian / non-vegiterian can pickup their food selection very easily and can avoid un-necessary waist on the food. Though the organizer anounced the all the food items but by putting a name tag for food items that are served on that day would not cost any more.
Thanks
