Luxury Private Boat Charters from Kona - Daytime & Sunset Cruises aboard No Wiki
Honokahau Harbor Private Sail Experience
Reviewed by: Deena H, 2023/04/05Our experience could not have been any better! The water was calm, weather was perfect, even with the clouds, which made it more beautiful! The captain and crew, Jack, Ian, and Taiyo were so attentive, gracious, and kind towards us, as we scattered our mother's ashes. It was a day we will always treasure. We highly recommend it and look forward to another sail in the future (just for fun!). Mahalo and blessings from our Ohana to yours!

Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour Experience with Free Professional Photos - Epic Tours
Best tour I did in Hawaii!
Reviewed by: Eric, 2023/04/01Amazing guide! Super knowledgable and passionate! He knew places to go to have absolute privacy. It was a bit cloudy when I went so he offered for me to come again for free, and both times were stunning. I learned a lot and the pics are unlike anything else you'll ever get in your life.
We rented a car so it was great to have a tour where you just show up for the stargazing time, instead of spending hours driving around picking up other tourists.

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka
Once in a lifetime experience..I'd enjoy again and again!
Reviewed by: reneec, 2023/04/01The crew made the cruise fun and enjoyable for people of all ages.
Snacks were included, but you may not want to est if you get seasick easily.
As part of the experience, they even took some pictures during so we could just enjoy the experience ourselves.
Note: If it's the right season, you may even be able to see other wildlife on the Sunset cruise like we did!
Aloha! Thank you for joining our manta ray tour. We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that you had a great time. Come back soon, Mahalo

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises
Great experience!
Reviewed by: Megan, 2023/03/31We had the best experience with our two five-year olds! They were both got a little nervous about the snorkeling and the crew patiently offered different options until they agreed to the kick boards with lenses. A big hit!! We saw a variety of fish and enjoyed the beauty (and history) of Cooke Cove The slides were also entertaining as the kids watched different people (including mom and dad) zoom down!! If you are concerned about the all veg breakfast and lunch, don’t be. As meat eaters, we all agreed the food was outstanding. To top it off, the Captain’s historical knowledge and witty comments made the ride to and from the coral reefs a lot of fun. We highly recommend tour!

Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour Experience with Free Professional Photos - Epic Tours
Giddy!
Reviewed by: From Long Island NY, 2023/03/26James was awesome! Our family had a summit tour booked with another company that canceled stated that road was closed, not sure that was true, as I’m scrambling to find an alternative other company said they were still going. Anyway, God‘s got a plan and I came upon epic tours. Even though this wasn’t a “summit” tour my son has a AAS in astronomy and was focused on star gazing and James delivered! James provided chairs to jackets if needed. And gave us a tour of the night sky! And we have a great picture to remember it!

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Amazing experience. Great crew!
Reviewed by: Steve712, 2023/03/25If you do one thing on the west side of the big island this is it. Words and pictures don't do the experience justice. The crew of the boat was safety conscious and the captain ran a tight ship. As a passenger we felt in good hands. Do your homework about what this tour involves. If you cannot swim and/or are afraid of the water this is NOT FOR YOU!!!. This tour had 1/2 a dozen non-swimmers on the tour. They were miserable and the crew had to spend an inordinate time catering to them.

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm
This tour was the highlight of our week on the Big Island.
Reviewed by: Frances Morgan , 2023/03/25Awesome day on the Big Island. A full day with a coffee farm, tour of the Volcanoes National Park, then stargazing on a clear night. Our Tour guide Aaron was the best. His knowledge of Hawaiian culture, the volcano, and then the night sky was awesome. He was so helpful and kind. This was a once in a lifetime experience. The volcano stopped erupting a few days after our tour. So, we felt so lucky to get to see an active volcano. Be sure to take a sweatshirt or jacket. It got cold in the evening. It is a full day, but so worth it.

Spirit of Aloha Waikoloa Sunset Cruise with FREE Cocktails - Hawaii Nautical
Humpback whale breach, cocktails, and a delicious bite
Reviewed by: Lauren Ralph, 2023/03/19Lovely crew, delicious Mai Tai, amazing wildlife viewing. I have never seen a humpback whale do a complete breach, and this was just supposed to be a sunset sight cruise! We laughed and truly enjoyed the time. Our plans changed from going to see the stars to this, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Wish I had understood I would be barefoot the whole time (I likely didn't read the memo). Would have changed which shoes I wore to board.

Big Island Volcano Kilauea & Mauna Loa Flight from Hapuna - Sunshine Helicopters
Jungle, waterfalls and volcanos oh my! Just a sight
Reviewed by: Lauren Ralph, 2023/03/18We were able to get a Birds Eye view of the lava paths over the saddle road and it just showcased how awesome nature really is. The clouds hindered our view of the caldera over volcanos national park (but there was a massive winter storm). The coolest part for me was seeing the snow on top on Mauna Kea. My husband loved the waterfalls along the coast.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Outstanding trip out, small group and great crew!
Reviewed by: Jenny, 2023/03/18We arrived slightly late and the crew kindly waited a bit for us. There was only 4 of us which made the experience felt a lot more enjoyable - it was not crowded or noisy! No jostling of people.
Once out there, we got in the water smoothly and saw 2 rays, 3 times. Unfortunately, the ray sightings have reduced in recent years so we considered ourselves lucky! Highly recommend it all round!

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe
Book Eka Tour - You won’t regret it!!!
Reviewed by: L Family , 2023/03/07Eka snorkeling with manta rays was amazing. The small, personalized tour is a great way to see the rays. Loved the classic canoe. This was perfect for ray family and I can recommend this tour group highly enough. Kai was great - he is so knowledgeable about the rays and he calmed my 9 y.o.’s fears -he on spectrum and they were very flexible in how we got him into the water and to the board. My son can’t stop talking about how great this experience was-he can’t wait to go again. Book this tour - you won’t regret it. The entire group was accommodating and friendly and made this the best adventure of our Hawaiian trip. Thank you Eka.

Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay
A wonderful way to see the rays!
Reviewed by: Phil, 2023/02/28We had an amazing time as the crew was incredibly prepared and accommodating. They were able to fit all of us on board and bring us out without a problem. The guides were very knowledgeable and were helpful in getting in and out of the water. They work together with the other tours in the same space to attract as many rays as possible. We ended up seeing 10 or more rays with a near constant show. We had my 65-year-old mom and dad, my 40-year old self and wife, and our eight and 10-year-old with us, and it was never a problem. A great activity if your kids can stay up a little later and recover the next day.
It's a short boat ride out, but the darkness set off a little of my motion sickness, So if you're prone to that be sure to take some medication ahead of time. I also had a little issue being in the waves and going up and down in the darkness. One of the other participants got fully sick away from the boat but the crew handled it very professionally.
I would absolutely recommend them!
