Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Unforgettable memories

Reviewed by: MaiD

I love the crew and the service. My friends and I had a very wonderful time enjoying the sunset as well as seeing many manta rays yesterday. We would love to come back for a dolphin/whale trip in the future with you guys! Thank 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.

Island Breeze Big Island Kona Luau at King Kamehameha Hotel with Open Bar

Well done show, good food

Reviewed by: jpimsler

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.

Kailua-Kona Sunset Cocktail with Free Drinks - Honi Olani Catamaran

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.

Exceeded expectations

Reviewed by: Dave

Outstanding in every regard. Our guides were professional but warm and engaging. Teegan and Haley were knowledgeable and very personable. The equipment was well maintained. The ride was just the right length. The view was as incredible as advertised. The tandem ATV’s were easy to handle and a lot of fun, but never felt overwhelming. Would highly recommend!

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!

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

A very special experience

Reviewed by: Andrea from Hilo

Pete and Kiera were outstanding guides for this sweet stroll through the back roads of the sacred land of Waipio Valley. I am a former horse owner and have ridden for years, and found my horse well cared for and responsive.

My friend loved the experience too! He is an intermediate rider and the guides did an excellent job of helping all levels feel safe. The ride down and back up to the valley is part of the fun too!

Don't pass up an opportunity to take this ride while you are on this beautiful Island!

Gorgeous Ride

Reviewed by: Stefanie

Unforgettable ride through the valley. There were 7 of us + 2 guides (+ 4 dogs who tagged along for their morning walk!). Incredible views, and we lucked out with perfect weather. It felt like an adventure rather than a tour; our route took us through streams, and we saw many wild horses, including a couple of fouls! I came with my mom, who isn't keen on doing activities like this, but she loved it. Thank you!

Love Waipio Valley

Reviewed by: M. and C. Lee

My niece came to visit from Pennsylvania and loved Waipio Valley.
Douglas was a great tour guide and told wonderful stories. We learned about Waipio vegetation, including the beautiful Gardenia he picked for us. Douglas shared a story about how his grandparents ate Nonni, smelly fruit but healthy for you. Loved hearing about the people of the valley who do not have electricity but are hard working taro farmers. Mahalo Nui Loa Douglas.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Easiest snorkeling we've ever done

Reviewed by: Dave W

This is an amazing experience and it's so easy, you barely need to know how to swim. You just lay w/ your face in the water and the mantas come to you. Actually they come to feed on plankton which are attracted by the lights that the crew shine in the water. It's a super-cool experience and the crew on our boat were awesome. Highly recommended.
