This is the second luau I've attended and also the best. First the pre-luau activities were fun, ( my granddaughter tried a little hula and I learned how to open a coconut without power tools ) . The cocktails were very tasty . The food was outstanding , as well as the venue . And the show was very fun . Thanks

Overall, this trip was fantastic, and you'll never see another sunset and night sky like it anywhere else. However, be wary of poor food (bring a sandwich) that is offered, and make sure your bus has air conditioning that works since it can be a long ride up the side of the mountain in 90+ heat.
Pros:
Great trip
Romantic
Educational
Cons:
No air conditioning in the van
Poor food

When my fiancee told me that he wanted to take a bike tour of a volcano, I was like, "NO WAY!" but I am SOOO glad that I went since it was literally the BEST tour that we went on while on the Big Island!
The guides are soooo informative and all the places we were able to go was way awesome. It was so nice to feel the sun and the breeze while touring instead of being cooped up in a bus! :)
My favorites were seeing the old lava flows, the smoking crater and the visit to the winery. I brought back a few bottles and everyone LOVES them!
I can't wait to try this again and have reccomended this tour to all of my friends! Yay! :)

Overall the tour was enjoyable, but it could have been better. The driver forgot to pick me up at my hotel and I had to call to remind them. The driver/guide gave a great deal of information about everthing, so much so that the constant talk became a blur after a while. The sights we saw were great for a first timer to the island, but if I were to come back, I would stay on the west coast and drive over to see the volcano.

Best meal we had on the island, & the entertainment was really well done. This was our first trip to the Big Island for our 20th anniversary, so we were trying to pack in a wide variety of activities. A Luau was almost a must on the list of things to do. We were not sure what to expect, but the experience was one we wouldn't have wanted to miss. Very well done by everyone involved. Mahalo!

This is a great trip and a REAL adventure. This is also a great value. The kayaking on the ocean is fun but can be physically demanding. We are in decent shape but we were pretty tired at the end of the trip. Good snorkling and cliff jumping. The guide is informative and competent.

This was a wonderful trip. Upgraded to 1200 ft. and a great time was had by all. The staff were so friendly. My kids went up tandem and were delighted to see about 8 whales while they were parasailing. I would recommend this to everyone.

The Snorkel Cruise was one of our top two activities. We very much enjoyed the cruise out to the Black Sand Beach. We saw some whales along the route. We enjoyed the snorkeling even more. This was our first ocean snorkeling cruise experience. We had snorkeled a little bit over the years but no where with as much color and marine life. Highly recommended whether you have snorkeled or not. The staff is very helpful and seem to enjoy their job. (if you can call that a job). Makes it a great experience. Very convenient launch from the Waikoloa Marriot. Very nice for us because that is where we stayed. Others were shuttled there and I am sure that was no problem either. Nice activity. Would do again.

This was the best activity of our trip, and we did everything we could in two weeks! I wish we could have done this every day on every island. This is so appropriate for even small children - and even us old ones!

This was a lot of fun. We got to see animals in the ocean and the water was so blue. This was our first time to Hawai'i so we had to try it. The staff was amazing! My only complaint would be that the ride was so short. I do not believe that 10 minutes is long enough. But overall it was a lot of fun.

This was a really enjoyable day. The staff was friendly and informative. We felt like we had made new friends by the end of the day. Definitely recommend taking more than one day to see the Volcano National Park, though. There a lots of trails to hike that can not be accessed by the bikes.
A big Mahalo to the staff for putting together a lovely "adventure".

Body Glove Whale Watching was Okay. The staff was nice, The snacks and beverages were nice. The boat was nice. My trip, though I booked it 3 months earlier, when I arrived at my hotel, it was changed. Sure, they comped the bar to have me switch, but the whales we did see were too far off to make the trip worth-while.

The tour itself was cool but didn´t hold its promisses/expectations. The abstract about the tour on the internet contained information about the summer tour. So, everybody expected something else. In the end, we didn´t do much on this tour but enjoying ourself, which would have been great if I would have known about it earlier.

What a unique experience!
The 4x4 drive to the stable offers breathtaking views of the valley and a few heart fluttering moments as you decend the one lane road.
The wagon ride is a unique way to experience the valley.

This was my 4th return to see a part of our nation's history that truly changed the world. Each time I go back I learn many new facts and find it difficult to hold back my emotions of the lives lost and still remain there forever.
If you are going to be in Hawaii take a day and forever take a part of December 7, 1941 with you.
This tour is my favorite. The staff is first class and they know how to avoid the long waiting in lines.
Thanks to all of those brave men and woman that will forever be remembered!

We absolutely enjoyed the Fair Wind Catamaran Cruise activity. The crew was friendly and very accomodating, the snorkeling location was absolutely beautiful and was filled with sea life and the experience overall was wonderful. Definitely recommend this activity. Will definitely repeat this activity when we visit the Big Island again.

So if I'd explain this experience to someone, I'd say that it was like meeting with E.T. underwater. It's just very unique and almost spiritual experience to see them underwater at NIGHT. If you are comfortable in the water, do this tour. You won't regret it.

The staff was a bit cranky at check in but once things got rolling, I think they woke up and all was good. I enjoyed the snorkle site but the sea cave exploration is little more than "here is the cave, it's not really deep, next please"......overall I had a good time but felt I paid too much for what I got. If you have never been kayaking in Hawaii and want to, then I would have no problem recommending this outfit. I just think you may get more value from a less green more motorized adventure.

The luau staff were great, but we wish the hotel staff at the lobby were more helpful. We were out of cash to pay $3 for the parking, and all nearby ATM's were down. We asked the lobby staff to accept a credit card payment, but they would not budge. Finally one person in the Luau staff (Dan, I believe) helped us out (bless his heart!). So even though the activity was great, the ending was somewhat rocky.
Regards,
-Arnab.
