World Botanical Gardens 8-line Zipline Canopy Adventure with Free Photos / Mamalahoa Tour - AM Zip and PM Segway
Zipe lining
The garden had many varieties of plants. The zip rides were kind of short. There was also a suspension bridge we walked across. They need to add more and longer zip lines. The few seconds that we zipped across were hardly enough. The guides provided some fruit snacks from the trees as we walked between zip lines and talked about different trees. The water fall and the surrounding ranches with cows sleeping were a nice sight. Though those ranches do not belong to botanical gardens. Staff was very friendly and professional. I did not take Segway tour and chose instead to drive by myself to Hilo. Make sure to drive to Liliuokalani Park in Hilo when you are there. It was a very impressive Japanese garden design.

Volcano Bike Tour - Kilauea Glow After Dark & Puna Coast Explorer / From Kona & Waikoloa
Excellent bike experience
We had very knowledgeable guides that knew everything about Hawaiian culture and volcanoes. We rode the shuttle from designated points and learned about Hawaiian history and volcanoes. At the mount we rode mountain bikes and had to actually use the gears to go up some small hills. It was good exercise. We stopped our bike so that our guide could show us volcano from different vantage points and also to walkthrough the tunnels left behind by magma. After the morning show we drove around to different scenic points around Hawaii and then wen back to the summit and watched the reddish steam rise from the crater. We did not see any active lava flow and it was raining pretty hard at night. so the night portion was not impressive due to that. So I would not do the night tour unless you could see active lava flow and weather is good. Also we had an excellent lunch at a restaurant at the black sand beach. We did get to see the black sand beach. So I liked that about the evening tour.

How Kona cofee is made, turtles, Petroglyphs, rainforest
The really longest experience was Kona coffee tasting. I am not really a big Coffee drinker. (They did not let you roast your own coffee. It was more a show for marketing Kona coffee) Petroglyphs were kind of a disappointment. Ancient Hawaiians had not discovered writing. So they just drew doodles. Not very impressive. We did visit the rainforest but because it was raining we hurried through the canopy. We also went to a fishing village which consisted of a single recreated tent. We also saw two turtles basking in the sun. They seemed to like the noises my Nexus 5 smartphone was making when pressing the button to take their pictures. They both raise their head to look at me and one tried to come closer to investigate.

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise / Standard
Lots of Dolphines and best snorkeling experience
We kayaked to the middle of a pods of dolphins and watches them swim around us. They exhaled loudly when swimming. We then kayaked to Captain Cooks memorial all the while getting a history lesson by our guide and the low and dirty on Captain Cook. At the memorial the corels were right in our face and then there was a drop into abyss all within a 10-20 feet from the shore. We saw many corels and fish when snorkeling and everything was crystal clear and right in front of us.

Swim with Manta Rays Snorkel Kayak Adventure (from Keauhou Bay)
Looked the Ray in the eyes
I enjoyed this experience greatly. We kayaked a few minutes to the middle of the bay and hang on to a board with a light on it. The light attracted the plankton at night and the Rays came to feed on the plankton. I was pretty close to a light from a ship and a sting ray came very close to me and circles in place a few times to eat all the plankton near me. It seemed comfortable around me once I stopped moving so it could eat. There were several sting rays that came for feeding including a huge one. It seemed to be a sting ray watching party. There were other boats and kayak tours, 10-20 snorkelers including a few scuba divers from other companies as well.

crystal clear at Molokini
It was my first time snuba diving. Molokini was crystal clear and we could see everything. After the snuba dive we were allowed to snorkel some more. We then went to turtle town. I think the corals were spawning. The water was not very clear. But we did see some more turtles. On the way back we even saw some whales.
Wet suit and the second snuba dive price were not included in the voucher. I wish hawaiiactivities would collect these added fees up front rather than we pay in the boat.

Muddy trek
We kayaked and then hiked to the waterfall where we ate lunch.
The only bad part was that it had been raining the past few days and the road was muddy. My shoes were completely muddy and others chose to just walk bare feet in the muddy road. I think I will stay with beach activities since I can hike the Shenandoah back home. FYI- There were roosters and chickens even at the waterfall.

Excellent show
It was an excellent show! Honestly I was told this is like Cirque de solei shows so my expectation was high. But once I walked into a movie theater my expectations was lowered. I was expecting the Grand stages like Los Vegas, "O". But the show surprised me. It was a great show with focus on music, dancing and acting. Customs and the set was ok but it was on a budget. Overall I think it was an excellent show on a budget.
