CAPTAIN CHAD AND BRANDY WERE EXCELLENT ENTERTAINERS! THEY KEPT US LAUGHING THE WHOLE RIDE OUT. WE SAW THE SPOTTED SPINNER DOLPHIN PODS WHERE THEY TOOK US SNORKELING. THE SNORKELING WAS WONDERFUL TOO. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME FOR US. MUST ASK FOR CHAD, HE MAKES IT GREAT!!!! PAY HIM MORE MONEY.

was said to be the best on this isle. Maui had a much better luau I thought. you have to pay extra for a flower lei. if you dont drink alcohol, it is a pricy dinner

We enjoyed the show, and the MC was really funny and had a good voice. Before it started we ended up waiting in several different areas for them to set up. The cups for the drinks were too small, even for water and soda. I can understand having small cups for the alcohol, but it was difficult to drink enough water. It would have been more comfortable with the tables and chairs set up on the grass, instead of sitting on concrete (too hot!)Also, a bigger selection of vegetarian options would be good. Overall, as first timers to the Island, we really enjoyed the show. Thanks!

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we thought the luau was a great value! The food was great, and since our room looked over the luau area, we got to see the pig being put in the imu pit early in the day, and then experienced how great it tasted hours later!
Unfortunately our luau was rained out just as the show started, and though we got a raincheck for the show, we had another event planned for luau nights and could only come late into the show. I think we missed a good portion of the fire dancers as we only saw one guy. What we did see was great though!
I'd definitely do it again.

It was definitely a unique experience, and having it depart from the pier in downtown Kona was great. We saw some marine life, though I guess we expected a bit more variety of fish (mostly yellow ones). Guess the fish don't come when it's sub time though! We loved looking at the coral and seeing a whole different world under the surface.
We did buy the CD that was offered for $20 with your picture, thinking it would have a variety of marine life pictures from previous trips, but on first inspection, it doesn't appear to have much. We did get our picture on the CD plus pictures of everyone else on the ride ... Don't think it was worth the $20.
Overall, a great and unique thing to do and I'd definitely recommend it to first-timers and those with kids, but not something I'd do again I don't think.

Guide was excellent
Tour was good
Wait at airport to return to your original island was intolerably too long.

This was a great time. The staff was helpful and friendly in making sure you had a great time. Kayaking was a good and steady pace. Snorkeling was amazing! Being underwater with the fish and coral is a must see! Seeing dolphins playing close by is really neat too.
Cave was a bit disappointing, being only 30 feet deep, you coulnd't really go in them.
If you are up for the extreme, try the cliff jump, its definately a thrill and safe.
All in all, a good experience; great way to spend a morning in Hawaii.

This was a wonderful, amazing tour! The sunset view from the summit of Mauna Kea is incomparable. I felt like I was standing on top of the world. The stargazing was also wonderful. I never saw the stars so clearly before. My tour guide was Buck, who gave us a great astronomy beginner's lesson. He also was very professional, and knowledgeable about other aspects such as the culture, history, and environmental ecology of the island. I highly recommend this trip to everyone. Bring gloves and a knitted cap--you will use them. The tour company will provide parkas. Cookies and hot chocolate before stargazing was a nice touch!

Overall, it was a fun experience to be in a submarine. We got to see a pod of dolphins, so that was exciting. It's like scuba diving but you don't get wet. Pretty neat. The pier is a walking distance from downtown Kona, so it was very close to our hotel.

This was our first time to the Islands and our first Luau. We were not disappointed. We had a fantastic time and loved the entertainment. The host was great and very informative of the Hawiian and Polynesian cultures. We loved the costumes and how the dancers interacted with the guest. We upgraded our tickets and ended up sitting in the very front row. WoW! We could not have had a better time.

せっかくハワイに来たのだから、1日くらいはハワイを感じるディナーをしたい
なーと思いこのショーに参加しました。
チェックインから入場まではやや時間がありましたが、いったん席に案内され
てからは、次から次にいろんなアクティビィティーが準備されていて飽きるこ
となく思う存分楽しむことができました。私たちのと隣には80代半ばの大学
仲間というおじいちゃんおばあちゃんたちのグループの方たちがいらっしゃり
、いろんなお話をしたりしてとっても楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。料
理もハワイのローカルな料理がずらーっと並んでいて少しずつとっていたつも
りがいつの間にかお皿いっぱいになっていておなかいっぱいでした。
ダンスですが若い女性と男性数名がいろんな国のダンスを踊ってくれとても迫
力がありました。
思い出に残るいい夜になりました♪

今回このクルーズには両親と3人で参加させていただきました。日本人は私たち家族だけでしたが、皆さん気さくで楽しかったです。
この日はお天気も良かったのですが、やはり2月なので海に入る時は結構寒かったですが、慣れてしまえばもうへっちゃら☆きれいな熱帯魚たちが泳ぐのを見ることができました。
シュノーケルは2箇所で行い、その合間に朝食や昼食をいただきました。昼食のおっきなハンバーガーはボリュウム満点でとってもおいしかったですよ。
のんびりした時間を海の上で過ごしたい方にはいいアクティビティだと思います。
クルーズの途中では残念ながらいるかに会うことはできませんでしたが、鯨には会えましたよ♪

This tour was by far the highlight of our Kona vacation - guide Karen was knowledgeable and friendly and put us at ease even though my sister was a first time snorkeler. She also gave a fantastic history of the island and everything we saw on the way. The best part was seeing a school of dolphins as we were kayaking to the first snorkel sight! I look forward to doing this activity again on my next trip!

WOW! What a fun evening! We were reluctant to do this activity but it turned out be the most enjoyable of all of our adventures in Hawaii. You would never know you were in Hawaii atop this beautiful snow capped mountain. The sights are unbelievable and the sunset probably the best you will ever see. The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. This is a must do activity in Hawaii. You won稚 be disappointed.

The crew was fantastic. A very unique way to see ocean life up close. It was a bit crowded and you have to bend over to see out the windows if you are taller than 5 foot, but you soon forget about that as you look through your window.

This is the best luau i have ever been! Not only is it very affordable but the host is very informative on the cultures of the hawaiians and the other polynesian tribes. My best friend and I had soo much fun in this luau and plus we are amazed at the fire show that they put on. We were very overwhelmingly satisfied w/ the amount of food that they serve (about 20 diff kinds of hawaiian dishes)not to mention the 2 hours open bar! I had too much mai tais w/in two hours! This is a great luau to go to for first timers or as regulars.

This was a great experience for all. The natural beauty was stunning, and the staff was just as great. I wish the water was calm enough to go into sea caves, but the kayak tour did not suffer because of it. Sense of adventure and willingness to put in physical effort is required, but well worth it. Our group did end up with cuts and bruises.

皆さんのお勧め通りスタッフや他の参加者たちはみんなフレンドリーで、簡単な英会話で通用しますし、ハワイ島でのヴァカンス気分を十分満喫できます。シュノーケルの際の注意事項も日本語訳のパンフレットがあり安心です。朝食やランチ、アルコールやスナックまでついていてサービス満点です。海については、イルカの群れに出会えますし、シュノーケル時間もたっぷり取ってくれるのですが、とにかく水が冷たい。他国でシュノーケルをやったことのある人にはお魚の種類が少なくてちょっと物足りないかも。

私達夫婦1組だけが日本人でした。
カップルやファミリーで満席(60人くらい)でしたが、
充分余裕のある広い船でしたし、スタッフも気さくに
話しかけてくれたり、他の観光客と私のつたない英語で
お喋りをしたりしました。
私や主人はラッシュガードを着ないと寒くて(あいにくの
曇り空だったため)泳いでられませんでしたが、他の
欧米人のみなさんは誰一人寒がることなく、水着だけで
シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
10ヶ月の妊婦さんもいて、驚きました!
泳げなくても、いろんな浮き輪があるので大丈夫です。
船上でのハンバーガーがとても美味でした♪
帰りのクルージング中はものすごい睡魔に襲われ、
二人で海風に煽られながら爆睡してしまいました。
また、船上のトイレは2つあり、清潔なので
安心して使えました。
2つのポイントでシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、
どちらにもたくさんの小さなイルカの大群に遭遇し、
みんなで興奮しました!

The luau staff were great, but we wish the hotel staff at the lobby were more helpful. We were out of cash to pay $3 for the parking, and all nearby ATM's were down. We asked the lobby staff to accept a credit card payment, but they would not budge. Finally one person in the Luau staff (Dan, I believe) helped us out (bless his heart!). So even though the activity was great, the ending was somewhat rocky.
Regards,
-Arnab.
