This was our first trip to the Big Island, so of course we wanted to see the summit at Mauna Kea. Our tour guide was Justin- and he was tremendous. He met at pickup location a couple minutes early. He provided a clear outline of what the day would include- and he held to it very closely. On the way to our first stop, He provided a great narration of the volcanic and mythological history of the island. After dinner (and acclimating to elevation for a while) we headed further up the mountain- the safety discussion was very calming, but helpful. The view from the summit was SPECTACULAR. About 10-15 minutes before the actual sunset, sneak to the back side of the area up there, and the SHADOW of Mauna Kea on the clouds looks like another mountain. I am fairly well-travelled, and this was a first for me! After that, we went down to the Start gazing station, and got to see some really cool stuff. Justin's knowledge was superb, enough to engage with a couple college students in our group that studied Astronomy at school. Very impressive. Truly, a great way to see a unique and beautiful piece of the Big Island! Many thanks!

It was our first time snorkeling. Willow was very helpful and we felt comfortable getting into the water right away. My only disappointment was that we did not circle around Shipwreck Bay to see the tankers. Apparently its no longer part of the excursion. Overall I would recommend.

It’s a great experience visiting the North Shore with Calvin! He’s funny and created a relaxing environment for us!
I would recommend a tour with Uncle Calvin who takes good care of folks in the tour and gave many good advices on where to get good food in town.

This is our first luau so not a lot to compare it to. Check in was super easy and the staff was great. The show
Overall the performers were talented and we appreciated that it was a show of different styles of traditional dance from several Pacific islands. The fire dance at the end was fantatic as well. It was hard to understand some of what was going on as the audio was not super clear and we were disappointed that our table was situated where we could only see 2/3 of the stage.
The meal
The appetizer and desert were really good, poke and Mac salad with pineapple and desert was coconut cream cake.What was not good was the main dish...dry mahi mahi, dry steak and dry pulled pork with rice in middle...really a big let-down.
All in all a mixed bag...great performers but a bit of a let down with the obstructed view and less than stellar meal.

Stefan is a cool guide and got us safely up and down Mauna Kea. It was very cold so I appreciated the ski pants as I came with my own gear and it wasn't enough. The night we ascended was very cloudy so unfortunately no stargazing for us but I mainly wanted to see the telescopes and that was otherworldly. Stefan gave some interesting facts about the telescopes that was appreciated and we got lucky to speak with one of the NASA scientists while up there. There was no rush and we were allotted plenty of time to take pictures and take breaks as the altitude will creep up on you. We were told we'd be refunded $100 for the cloudy skies and I received the refund a couple days later. The sandwich wasn't the best but it was appreciated while up there.

Stephanie our tour guide was awesome, let me just state the first!
Doing the Diamond Hike that early was great, being one of the first ones on the hike(less people to wade through) and the cooler temperature in the morning allowing the ease of the hike to be a breeze.
Then checking out the eastern part of the island is relaxing when you do not have to drive yourself. Exploration is something that intruiges me, so looking to where i can go and explore on my own; this tour allows just that. This is something to do if you do not what to explore on this side of the island. Allowing you to take another tour, or rent a car and explore yourself. This being the first time for my girlfriend coming to the island and having a delightful and informatitve host to a nice tour.
Hello Paul,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a great time with Stephanie. With us, we will do all driving and you just sit back and relax. We like to start Diamond Head in the morning so it is not so hot. But thank you again for the review. I will let Stephanie know of your comments.

I have 0 experience in riding horses, and this place just make my first horse ride amazing. Had little nerves before riding it, and soon I got on its back; I feel comfortable and relaxed. Horses are well trained and in good behavior all the time. The guild is friendly as well. She introduced lots of things along the trip and taking care of each of the riders if they need help.
Overall, if you are first time riding the horse, you don't need to worry about it, it's 100% safe, and you will get relaxed after a couple of mins.
