Deluxe Big Island ATV Tour & Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls
Pricey- and kinda lame
Reviewed by: Kate, 2024/05/01The atv was basically a track on a large piece of property- nice view but guess we had expected a ride to woods to a waterfall. The waterfall view is best from the gift shop but it was fun to swim in their river. Didn’t feel like we were really out in nature.
My husband wanted to go faster on the atv- but it was fine for me as a newbie and more cautious person. The guides were very nice. It was overall ok- but very pricey for the experience we thought.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove
Sunset cruise
Reviewed by: Jen, 2024/04/27It was nice. The staff enjoyed educating on your surroundings The staff were very friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a fun time.... I wouldn't call it fun... nice and relaxing is what it was. We realized on this trip that this was geared more for kids and elderly.

Thank you for your review. So glad you had a great time. The level of dirty does depend on the weather. It's hilarious to see how much the guests love the mud. lol

Kona Golden Hour Sunset Ocean Rafting Cruise with Dinner - Body Glove Cruises
Perfect little dinner cruise
Reviewed by: Mr & Mrs Locke, 2024/04/09My husband and I were looking for a romantic way to cap off our week in Hawaii, and this was the perfect cruise for us. We were looking for something “quintessentially” Hawaiian and what is more iconic than a sunset dinner cruise? We are also both big history buffs, so we booked this tour based on the descriptions about the knowledgeable captain and crew, and they did not disappoint! They were full of commentary and stories about their island, and very patient answering all of our stupid questions. Mahalo and aloha, wish we could stay there!

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour - Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo
Do it!
Reviewed by: Tish, 2024/04/02I ask others to go with me, and get...
'is it a big helicopter? must be stable'
'need a seat in the middle up front or I'll barf'
'doors off, are you nutz?'
Don't let them ruin it for you. Small copter with doors off is the full woohooo. The ride is smooth and stable enough. The view out the open door is wondrous. Accept nothing less. Watch a video in the comfort of your couch or get the whole experience.

Hawaii ATV Ride Tour at Kohala Coast - Sea to Mountain Off-Road Adventure
Highlight of our annual visit
Reviewed by: P Mitchell, 2024/03/25We have family in Hilo so visit Big Island annually. Over the years, we have seen most of the "tourist" sites so we now spend most of our time going on hikes and hanging out with the family. This trip, our main event was the Hawaii ATV Ride Tour and we four had a blast. We all rode in the same vehicle and two of us took turns driving. It was a lot more exciting than it looks on the website, the paths are rutted and bumpy and great fun. The guides were also great fun and provided, for us, just the right amount of local history and character.

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises
Our first time, but not our last!
Reviewed by: Michelle M, 2024/03/18We loved everything about this tour! The boat was comfortable and clean and there was plenty of room for our gear. The food was excellent. My husband and I are omnivores, but we thoroughly enjoyed the vegan lunch and breakfast! The snorkeling was so much fun and we were fortunate enough to have perfect weather. We brought our own snorkel equipment and fins, but the boat was equipped with all of that plus life vests, pool noodles, inner tubes, sun screen and anti fog spray for masks. Last, but most importantly, the crew was amazing. Everyone was so caring and helpful and made sure we felt comfortable and safe in the water and out. We will be sure to book with Fair Wind Cruises again when we travel to the Big Island.

Legends of Hawaii Luau Dinner Show with Open Bar at Hilton Waikoloa Village
Authentic Show!
Reviewed by: David F, 2024/03/09For us it was a true Luau. Not just a Hawaiian show. From weaving headbands to teaching hula dancing. The show was very personable with audience interaction. Food was very good, brought out to the table instead of a buffet bar. It was an all day affair for us. Went to Waimea Falls first and spent some time there and then to the Luau. MC was great. Highly recommend. We stayed on the North Shore so it was very convenient!

Reviewed by: Girls trip, 2024/03/08I’ve done this more than 5 times and every trip is different and wonderful. Great way to see more of the island without driving. Love all of the employees. It’s a great experience. Last time in March 2022 we took three grandsons and son in law. Very fun trip. They have a fantastic time. This time I took a friend who had never been to island. We again had a fabulous trip. Thank you ❣️
