Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Perfect

Reviewed by: Rocky, 2022/02/20

I was not sure about spending so much time in the van. Travis was educational and fun. We had clouds, rain, sun and stars. It really was a wonderful experience. The food was fine. I appreciated the larger telescope and good star viewing.

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

Sunset cruise

Reviewed by: Jimbo, 2022/02/18

Once on board everything was terrific. Great staff, perfect weather, good drinks and unexpectedly a chicken dinner with rice and salad was offered. Had we known that - wouldn’t have had late lunch. Would have rated excellent- except the map provided was POOR. Drove around frantically for 25 minutes in marina trying to find where to go. No phone number provided. Fortunately a crew member called us and we made it. Others had same problem.

Big Island Whale Watching Cruise from Waikoloa - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]

This was an experience of a lifetime.

Reviewed by: Mike Miller, 2022/02/18

Our family’s first experience whale watching was truly impressive. The crew was professional with information and safety. They did not leave out the fun and had a nice variety of refreshments. We did take the 1:30 pm tour and saw many whales.
The confirmation email as to directions to find them was not so great. They are not in front of the Lava Lava restaurant ( which kept us circling for 10 mins) they are to the right of iLava Lava down along the beach 100 yards aprox, is 2 palm trees on the beach w/ small orange sign to check in. You should notice the platoon boat and catamaran out in the water awaiting for you.
Have extra cash available for tip they are worth it.

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

Third time is a charm

Reviewed by: Dennis and Linda, 2022/02/16

We had attempted two times previously 9 years ago to see the Mantas and were unsuccessful. We warned our group this time that we may be bad luck. Our experience was over the top, well over 10 Mantas and Justin and Connor were great at sharing their knowledge of these fascinating creatures. We would definitely recommend to anyone wondering about this novel opportunity.

Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option

Nice ride but watch the front seat upgrade.

Reviewed by: Mike, 2022/02/12

No doubt the ride itself was amazing! We were able to see a ton of the Big Island and our pilot was great.

However, the interaction at the desk was a little shady. When we arrived we had four in our party plus another passenger who was also assigned to our group. As we checked in the receptionist asked if we wanted to upgrade as the two front seats were still available. First off, that seems strange since there are only four seats across the back - obviously someone in a group of five would need a front seat. The problem came when one in my group wanted to upgrade to the front. They charged the full amount for both front seats. Then the receptionist pulled the single passenger to the side, giving her a "free" upgrade to the other front seat... great for her! If it would have been explained that the full price for both seats would be charged then another from my group would have taken the other front rather than give it away. I understand they have to distribute weight, etc. but the way it was handled was less than desirable. It's unfortunate that a shady sales experience soured an otherwise great day.

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

Coolest experience of my life!

Reviewed by: Coolest experience, 2022/02/04

This was the coolest experience of my life, and that is not an exaggeration at all. Plus that is saying a lot as we are world wide travelers and have done epic things. Every person living on the Big Island or traveling to the Big Island should do this! If you are considering it and wondering if it will be kinda cool or maybe sorta lame (like I thought it might be) let me assure you it is beyond cool!
We literally had to have close to a dozen manta rays swimming around us, most would swim within inches of us. Some VERY large ones also! No need to fear they have no teeth or stingers and are harmless (unless you are plankton). These creatures are truly magnificent!
The crew onboard was wonderful and knowledgeable. When we were done there was hot tea and a snack which was an added bonus.

We had a great time on the shuttle. Our driver, Forest was fun, professional and had so much to share about the area and island. We got to go down to some beautiful spots and get out to take pictures. It was amazing. I highly recommend you take this tour. The windows are out so you don't feel closed in. It is a long way down and up so think long and hard about hiking it. We are so glad we choose to Book this tour-- You will be happy you did! It was an amazing experience.

4.5-Hour Sea Quest Premium Rafting Snorkel Tour at Honaunau & Kealakekua Bay

Great day!

Reviewed by: Colleen, 2022/02/01

Captain Steve made our experience very special. We stopped in two snorkel spots, saw some caves close up, had a nice snack and lunch. Were told neat things about the island and the locations we snorkeled at.
The waters were a little choppy. We felt very safe with Steves driving. The tour states it is not good for someone with any physical issues. There was some bouncing around on the boat, so we would agree with that.
Professional Company. They offered a few different types of snorkeling tours. Pick one-- you won't be disappointed.

Hawaii ATV Ride Tour at Kohala Coast - Sea to Mountain Off-Road Adventure

The perfect blend of thrilling and scenic.

Reviewed by: Greg Yun, 2022/01/29

From our check in contact with Jeremy, our driver, to our trail guides, the guys were friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The UTVs and all other equipment are top rate and inspire confidence. I have off road experience but we got my wife experienced and she did the initial 4 wheelin. She was thrillin and grinning. I have the video to prove it. We took in a lot of spectacular views and scenery. Cruising through the different climate zones was interesting and fun. There were a few, almost “oh shhhh” moments, that made the trip thrilling.
Our guys went out of their way to find us fresh tree ripened fruit. We sampled and took home some Strawberry Guavas and Pineapple Guavas. So delicious.
We were a family group of 5. The oldest is 72 and the youngest is 10 years old.
We agreed, we would all do this tour again. Thanks again Kohala UTV.

That’s me and my wife on the left.
We hiked down to the black sand beach where the waves are breaking after our tour.

We loved this tour - being on the summit was amazing. You can always tell when your guide is excellent and passionate about what they are speaking about.

4.5-Hour Sea Paradise Premium Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch

Must Do in Kona!!

Reviewed by: SusanB, 2022/01/13

Wonderful, cheerful, professional staff. Lovely, clean NEW boat. This trip was a thumbs up. We were greeted by Joshua who was happy and briefed us well. On board were Asia, Jesse and Capt. Mike Morgan. This team worked well together to keep us entertained, fed, schooled on area history and safe. All of the gear was in good condition, the food was healthy and served efficiently using pandemic protocols. We were clearly informed of where to snorkel and attended by one or two employees while in the water. We were able to make part of the trip back under sail which was a silent treat. This is a top snorkel area on the island and the Sea Paradise trip is top notch! Top this off with seeing spinner dolphins and five different whales ….. a wonderful way to spend the morning.
