Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour Experience with Free Professional Photos - Epic Tours
Kids Loved It and Adults Too!
Reviewed by: Tom P.
This was such an awe-inspiring tour! My kids ages 10,12, 15, and 17 were super excited after seeing this and after our entire Hawaii trip thought this was the best event we did. The guide, James, was so knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for astronomy and photography that makes this very enjoyable. Great photos and great experience. It was also the 2nd star gazing tour we booked when the first tour told us our younger kids could not go to the top of Mauna Kea summit because of altitude sickness. But this tour was very accommodating and it takes place at a lower altitude (more kid friendly) but don't worry the star gazing from this location is top notch! I didn't feel like anything was missing. We had so much fun!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide
Amazing Experience!
Reviewed by: Dani
I highly recommend this tour! They picked us up right by our hotel. The tour guide was very informative on the drive up the mountain. He also took a lot of really cool photos for us and airdropped them before the end of the night. The sunset view and stargazing can not be beat. We really wanted to go to the summit and Hawaiian Eyes made the whole experience very easy and fun. Would definitely do it again.
Aloha, Dani.
Thank you for participating in our tour. I am very happy that the weather was nice and everybody enjoyed the spectacular view from the summit of Mauna Kea.
Please join us on our tour next time again !!

Deluxe Volcano Unveiled Tour and Golden Lava Cave Expedition with Lunch & Dinner
Awesome Guide! Company not very accommodating
Reviewed by: Julia W
The good- our guide Garry was incredibly knowledgeable about the rocks, plants, birds, very accommodating regarding bathroom breaks and stops along the way, and incredibly kind and thoughtful. We have nothing but raves for him. The company on the other hand was a bit of a pain in the butt. We first booked this tour as a party of 6, and we were told that these tours booked in groups of 9, so they would be adding in 3 additional fares to the tour group. Later they informed me that my son was too young for the group tour, but the private tour had no age restrictions. For an extra ~$400-500 we booked the private tour, since we wanted a tour that would let us see the lava glow at night, and this was literally the only tour that did that. However, even though we were paying so much extra for a private tour, they said that they couldn't accommodate us by going to any stops different from the usual tour, they couldn't start/end earlier, and they were unable to provide pick up/drop off from our hotel 15min away. Then, a few days before the tour, they called to tell us that because the lava flows stopped, they were changing the tour from 10a-10p, to 7a-7p, and adding a stop at Rainbow falls to make up for the loss of the lava flow at night. No dinner meal. Still unable to pick up/drop off from the hotel. And unwilling to make any time changes. I would have appreciated some compromise for our requests considering the extra costs of the private tour or some discount since they were both unable to accommodate our requests and had changed the original nature of the tour significantly.

Big Island Highlights Tour - Volcano, Waterfall, Black Sand Beach, Coffee & Wine
Great tour
Reviewed by: Jayjay
I went solo. There were 2 tour guides. They were informative and funny. I threw up because of road sick and maybe too much caffeine and food coma in the morning (I assumed - I ate my bf&coffee b4 the tour started and ate their bf & tasted their coffee again). The lady guide took care of me well. Other people in the trip were nice too. Some lady gave me a motion sickness pill and some lady asked me how I was feeling. Thanks!
We went to 6-7 places. I like the black sand beach the most. Walking through the volcano tube was fun. But another volcano attraction was not I expected because we couldn’t get too close to the volcano. It was dangerous Lol. So I couldn’t get a clear pics of the crater.
Big island is a black island (in my opinion) because of dry black lava spreading all over the island.
They picked me up in the morning and dropped me off at the Kona airport in the evening. I flew for a day trip. Call them when you arrived at the airport. They need a reminder. I think my tour guides were Gary and Gabbie. I bought this trip to celebrate my bday. Great serviceThank you!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Unique and wonderful experience!!
Reviewed by: Debbie
The Mauna Kea summit tour was a definite highlight of our trip to Hawaii. The ride up the mountain in the van was beautiful and rugged. Our guide was very thorough and attentive to the needs of the group. He was exceptionally knowledgeable of the history and cultural significance of this mountain. The view from the summit was amazing. The telescopes look like something out of Star wars. It is a most unique and unusual place. The star gazing was just phenomenal. We had a beautiful clear night with an awesome view of the moon from the telescope, as well as many other unique stars and constellations and night sky features. We were able to see the Southern Cross which I am told is very rare. On a negative note I was very unimpressed with the lasagna meal. Mine was not very hot, and the noodles were slightly dry and crusty on the bottom. However the hot chocolate and snack during the stargazing was a very nice touch. All in all the entire experience will stay with us forever. It is one of those things you will talk about for years to come.

Kailua-Kona Sunset Cocktail with Free Drinks - Honi Olani Catamaran
Beautiful - Location on Website is Wrong.
Reviewed by: CEC
Beautiful catamaran run by a family. We saw some dolphins while on the sunset cruise. They offered canned beers and hard seltzers, and and a boxed teriyaki meal with salad. The meeting location was difficult to find; they said one of the booking sites (HawaiiActivities.com) has the location listed incorrectly. It is NOT next to the Harbor House restaurant on the north side of the harbor. Instead , once you get to Honokohau Harbor, you follow the road on the south side of the harbor all the way to the yellow gates. The parking lot is no longer paved. Then walk through the gates all the way to the end of the pier.

On the specific date we went it rained, so that's a lost star that's in no way their fault! If we had wanted to leave and not stay in the rain they would have given us a refund or moved the tickets to a different date.
The show as very educational and the dancing was great! Our one year old was in a trance! Such awesome culture across the Pacific islands. The food was really good and big portions/as much as you want since it's a buffet. Before you leave check out the Hawaiian/Polynesian exhibit inside the hotel.

Sunset cruise
Reviewed by: Cody
I cannot recommend this sunset cruise enough. The crew of Captain Kirk and staff were exceptional. During this cruise the vessel encored some mechanical issues, which promoted a slightly longer cruise. The crew were nothing short of professional and comforting in managing this issue, as well as utilizing exceptional skills in retuning the vessel to port. My only regret in not asking to crew what music we were listing to.

Speedi Shuttle Kona Airport Transportation Service
Smooth ride, but no Lei at arrival
Reviewed by: Melissa P
We paid for the ride and a Lei greeting well in advance of our trip. Plenty of time for someone to figure out they don't do Lei greetings at the airport in which we arrived.
We didn't get it, so I called to find out what happened. That's when I was informed there was not ever going to be a Lei Greeting. I've been trying to contact the company for a couple of days for my $30 refund and can't seem to stir up a human for help.
The shuttle was waiting for us and the driver was friendly. He pointed out some restaurants we should try near our Airbnb.
Aside from the lack of communication and needing a refund, I'm happy with the transportation we received.

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]
Memorable horseback riding in a uniquely Hawaiian setting
Reviewed by: tweist
We greatly enjoyed our morning horse ride in the Waipio Valley. Our guides are local residents of the valley who are very proud of the history and the culture. The horses were calm and very sure footed. The lack of in depth introductions about the history and culture of the valley and the unpredictable weather in the valley were largely compensated by the hospitality of the guides, the almost mystic atmosphere of the majestic valley, and arrays of exotic flora of the fertile valley floor. I wish the black sand beach was part of the tour. I might be asking too much but horse riding on the black sand beach could be the highlight of a perfect tour!
