One important thing to note when you arrive at Hilo Airport is to head to the Bus Loading Zone pickup area at the end of the Baggage Claim Terminal. Walk outside of the Baggage Claim area on the first floor, turn right, ... moreand proceed toward the restrooms at the west end of the terminal, where a Polynesian Adventure vehicle will pick you up.

Our tour guide, Dexter, was incredibly knowledgeable, as he was born and raised on the Big Island. He was a wonderful gentleman, showing great respect, kindness, and compassion for everyone. A lunch was provided, which included a turkey wrap, kettle-cooked chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and a refillable metal water container. We also made a stop at Big Island Candies for some sweet treats. While we didn't need to wear pants or jackets, wearing hiking boots for ankle support is highly recommended due to the rough and slippery terrain.

Our Blue Hawaiian Helicopters pilot, David (nicknamed "Chewy"), was also very knowledgeable. He videotaped our entire flight upon request, and we even had our photo taken, which was uploaded onto the USB thumb drive. Remember to bring your photo ID. You will also need to view a safety video.

Overall, it was an excellent experience and well worth the money.

The water on the west side is super clear, we really enjoyed this snorkel tour away from Waikiki!

Minnesota family. We do not like the food but good customer service
