Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm
Tour guide Aaron is amazing!
Reviewed by: Megan
Wow, if only every tour guide held a masters in history and was a native to the area they were leading a tour! Aaron was truly brilliant and super knowledgeable about everything from Hawaiian history to language and culture to geology and astronomy. His easy going personality put the group at ease, and we had fun connecting with the rest of the guests while learning a ton! The day flew by and we would do it all over again. Ask for Aaron!

ワイピオ渓谷 ワゴンツアー 小さなお子様から年配の方もゆったり楽しめる ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／貸切あり＞
渓谷の自然観光と馬車移動が楽しい～
Reviewed by: Sachi
2020年3月12日 コロナがはやり始めた頃。マスク着用して参加。
集合場所までレンタカーで行き、3組ほどがワゴンに乗り込み渓谷へ。ワゴン車内は冷房ガンガン。外は日差しが強くて暑い。途中下車して雄大な景色を楽しみ、トイレ休憩もあり。ワゴンを降りて、オープンスタイルの馬車で移動。ガタガタ揺れますがのんびりと景色を楽しむにはとても良いです。帰りのワゴンからも雄大な景色を観ながら戻ります。半日かけてトレッキングして滝の近くまで行く方々に出会いました。ツアーは、滝の近くには行かれませんが、歩かず、乗り物で観光できるのは便利です。

Big Island Whale Watching Cruise from Waikoloa - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
Whale watching near hilton for the masses
Reviewed by: Aki
Overall it's an must do cruise to go out on the ocean on a Catamaran near the Waikoloa area.
We saw whales from far off as it was afternoon and the bigger ship is not attractive to the whales.
We would do the morning trip on the powerboat with fewer people or go for the sunset cruise.There is not much info provided during the cruise so it's lacking the fun in whale watching as it can be boring if nothing happens.
It would also be better if there was a spotter pointing to the breaches as it happens very quickly and multiple people spotting can be confusing.
After you get on board you are mostly left on your own and the boat only goes less than half a mile out.
We saw more whales from the shore than on the boat but it was good to get out on the ocean with this cruise.

Sunset cruise
Reviewed by: Jimbo
Once on board everything was terrific. Great staff, perfect weather, good drinks and unexpectedly a chicken dinner with rice and salad was offered. Had we known that - wouldn’t have had late lunch. Would have rated excellent- except the map provided was POOR. Drove around frantically for 25 minutes in marina trying to find where to go. No phone number provided. Fortunately a crew member called us and we made it. Others had same problem.

Big Island Whale Watching Cruise from Waikoloa - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
This was an experience of a lifetime.
Reviewed by: Mike Miller
Our family’s first experience whale watching was truly impressive. The crew was professional with information and safety. They did not leave out the fun and had a nice variety of refreshments. We did take the 1:30 pm tour and saw many whales.
The confirmation email as to directions to find them was not so great. They are not in front of the Lava Lava restaurant ( which kept us circling for 10 mins) they are to the right of iLava Lava down along the beach 100 yards aprox, is 2 palm trees on the beach w/ small orange sign to check in. You should notice the platoon boat and catamaran out in the water awaiting for you.
Have extra cash available for tip they are worth it.

Third time is a charm
Reviewed by: Dennis and Linda
We had attempted two times previously 9 years ago to see the Mantas and were unsuccessful. We warned our group this time that we may be bad luck. Our experience was over the top, well over 10 Mantas and Justin and Connor were great at sharing their knowledge of these fascinating creatures. We would definitely recommend to anyone wondering about this novel opportunity.

Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option
Nice ride but watch the front seat upgrade.
Reviewed by: Mike
No doubt the ride itself was amazing! We were able to see a ton of the Big Island and our pilot was great.
However, the interaction at the desk was a little shady. When we arrived we had four in our party plus another passenger who was also assigned to our group. As we checked in the receptionist asked if we wanted to upgrade as the two front seats were still available. First off, that seems strange since there are only four seats across the back - obviously someone in a group of five would need a front seat. The problem came when one in my group wanted to upgrade to the front. They charged the full amount for both front seats. Then the receptionist pulled the single passenger to the side, giving her a "free" upgrade to the other front seat... great for her! If it would have been explained that the full price for both seats would be charged then another from my group would have taken the other front rather than give it away. I understand they have to distribute weight, etc. but the way it was handled was less than desirable. It's unfortunate that a shady sales experience soured an otherwise great day.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide
Once in a lifetime tour
Reviewed by: Mconway
The view of the sunset was amazing, the history, information and stargazing that Hiro provided was a priceless. The drive up to Mauna Kea was pleasant and Hiro’s local tips on where to go and local places to eat was great. The journey up the dirt road was not stressful at all with Hiro’s safe and expert driving. Our time at the summit was amazing the photos Hiro took were both amazing and entertaining. On our way down we were provided with a stargazing lesson. Hiro showed his passion for teaching the stars even though there was a full moon that washed out some of the constellations. We would definitely recommend this tour over driving it yourself or other tour companies that don’t offer the same uniqueness that Hiro provided.

Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay
Coolest experience of my life!
Reviewed by: Coolest experience
This was the coolest experience of my life, and that is not an exaggeration at all. Plus that is saying a lot as we are world wide travelers and have done epic things. Every person living on the Big Island or traveling to the Big Island should do this! If you are considering it and wondering if it will be kinda cool or maybe sorta lame (like I thought it might be) let me assure you it is beyond cool!
We literally had to have close to a dozen manta rays swimming around us, most would swim within inches of us. Some VERY large ones also! No need to fear they have no teeth or stingers and are harmless (unless you are plankton). These creatures are truly magnificent!
The crew onboard was wonderful and knowledgeable. When we were done there was hot tea and a snack which was an added bonus.

Captain Steve made our experience very special. We stopped in two snorkel spots, saw some caves close up, had a nice snack and lunch. Were told neat things about the island and the locations we snorkeled at.
The waters were a little choppy. We felt very safe with Steves driving. The tour states it is not good for someone with any physical issues. There was some bouncing around on the boat, so we would agree with that.
Professional Company. They offered a few different types of snorkeling tours. Pick one-- you won't be disappointed.

The perfect blend of thrilling and scenic.
Reviewed by: Greg Yun
From our check in contact with Jeremy, our driver, to our trail guides, the guys were friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The UTVs and all other equipment are top rate and inspire confidence. I have off road experience but we got my wife experienced and she did the initial 4 wheelin. She was thrillin and grinning. I have the video to prove it. We took in a lot of spectacular views and scenery. Cruising through the different climate zones was interesting and fun. There were a few, almost “oh shhhh” moments, that made the trip thrilling.
Our guys went out of their way to find us fresh tree ripened fruit. We sampled and took home some Strawberry Guavas and Pineapple Guavas. So delicious.
We were a family group of 5. The oldest is 72 and the youngest is 10 years old.
We agreed, we would all do this tour again. Thanks again Kohala UTV.

Deluxe Big Island ATV Tour & Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls
Amazing 1st-time ATV-ride
Reviewed by: mgcannella
Our guide, John, was very patient with me. I've had zero experience riding an ATV but he took the time to make sure I was comfortable while encouraging me to do the solo ride (I was also given the option to switch to a two-seater). I'm so grateful because I had the best time and wish it could go on longer. We drove through the beautiful Umauma property -- rolling green gentle slope with a gorgeous view of the ocean and a sea of cows (yes, cows, that John had to persuade to move to give the riders more room to drive thru). We took a break at the watering hole where my son and husband enjoyed a cool dip near a low waterfall and enjoyed a quick snack. Thank you, John, for making it fun, adventurous and exciting!
