Kohala Mountains, Sea Cliffs & Waterfalls Helicopter Tour with Landing Option

Great tour and great people!

Reviewed by: Art Goldberg, 2021/10/02

The coastal tour was perfect. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. Marco our pilot made everyone very comfortable and was a great tour guide and pilot. I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Very Very Entertaining.

Reviewed by: H. Shoenfield, 2021/09/30

Tour Guide was an enthusiast, patient, native who shared culture, history, science, jokes and Hawaiian myths and songs. You can't ask for more from a guide. Try to book for a moonless night for best view of stars. They use an automated 11 inch telescope. The food was surprisingly very good (vegetable lasagna), the brownie decadent and the hot chocolate and biscotti at the end a nice touch. Had an issue finding the pick up spot, but a phone call resolved this since we were close. If you miss the sign for the international market (if that's your pick up spot), look for the 76 gas station, enter there and drive to the back. Dress warmly and bring a refillable drink. Cold (but not terribly) even with the given parka and gloves. A very enjoyable 8 hour afternoon & evening l

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

Island Breeze luau

Reviewed by: Becky, 2021/09/25

The islander Breeze Luau was everything we expected and more. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that Covid restrictions were in place and the experience was not compromised. Each party had their own table that was 6 feet apart. The food was fantastic and fresh! The drinks were good as well! And the star of the show was the music, dancers and the master of ceremonies! They all really put their aloha into the show! Thank you for a great experience.

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm

Great Trip!

Reviewed by: Jeff Barnes, 2021/09/24

This was a rally fantastic trip. Be prepared because this trip is over 10 hours. (We ran closer to 11) and requires a lot of walking. That being said, the day was EXCELLENT. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely do it again.

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

Not what I expected

Reviewed by: GnC, 2021/09/21

I give the music snd dancing all the credit. It was a wonderful show. My impression of the food was it was just ok. Maybe we just don’t like Hawaiian
Food but thanks for trying. The deserts were soggy and lacked flavor. For the total experience, this was way over priced and disappointing.I don’t think I would recommend this luau to my friends due to the food.

Our tour guide Krystal was amazing. She had background in Astronomy and physics with lots of stories from Big Island. We observed entire milky way galaxy with powerful telescope and it was out of the world experience. Our best part was watching all planets and moon with craters. Thank you Krystal for wonderful explanation and experience.

Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay

Simply magical, but easy to get cold

Reviewed by: John, 2021/09/15

Really enjoyed this experience, the manta rays even touched me!

You can bring your own GoPro but it might be hard to film and hold on at the same time. You're not swimming, you're horizontally floating with a pool noodle at your ankles and your hands gripping a light bar that attracts plankton upon which the mantas feast.

It can get cold when you're in the water, so don't be afraid to bring dive boots, gloves, and your own wetsuit. You'll get a shorty top only and I was pretty chilly, even for a New Englander!

Kai and Mika were great. So educational and informative. We had a great time. We are glad that we went on the glass bottom boat while visiting Hawaii. We live in L.A., and don’t really have this kind of thing near us. Thanks to the boys on the boat. They were great.

unforgettable experience

It was a lifetime experience to see so many manta rays. The captain and crews tried to give everyone the best experience. Unfortunately the waves for that evening was so high that made the boat ride an unpleasant trip.

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

family fun

Reviewed by: Lina, 2021/09/12

We decided on this luau -from many- because they were family friendly and the other reviews. They were right, we had a blast. The staff were so accommodating to my daughter (1.5yo). She loved the show and even tried to Hula. We were also celebrating my moms 77th birthday and she loved it too. The best buffet of hawaii's essential plates and desserts too. I would definitely would go back.

Rich was the best guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we saw, and even when it was cloudy on Mauna Kea, he told us ancient Hawaiian stories until the clouds cleared and we could see everything we came out to see. A++++ would go again in a heartbeat. Thanks Rich!!!

Just the crew alone makes the experience worth every penny!

Reviewed by: Leslie, 2021/09/01

Captain Tony and his crew were so wonderful! They were funny and so informative. I would definitely do it again! They were so sweet to our two year old who was part of the snorkeling also. Make sure you take cash to tip them well because they definitely deserve it! The whole trip the captain and his trip hangout with everyone and cut up fresh fruit for everyone while serving drinks and making sure everyone is comfortable and has what they need. Definitely one of our top favorite things we did on the Big Island

Can't wait to do it again!

Reviewed by: Vincents, 2021/08/30

So much fun. The location was beautiful, the crew was friendly and the service was great...oh and the plant based menu was delicious. Seeing dolphins made the day. I learned that orcas pass through Hawaiian waters and as a result the dolphins were swimming in and we were lucky enough to see them. Would have been fun to have paddleboards. We all loved it! Thank you.
