3.5-Hour Kauai Napali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar - Holo Holo Charters / Na Pali Sunset Cruise
Fantastic trip, stunning scenery!
Absolutely incredible views of the beautiful Na Pali coastline. Captain did a great job of keeping it as smooth sailing as possible. There were some choppier parts of the journey, but we were pre-warned as they came up. The views were totally worth it! We even got to see rainbows over the coastline. As the seas were fairly calm, we were even able to see inside the edge of a cave. The crew were friendly and helpful, the food and drinks were fantastic too. On the return journey we were treated to views of the stunning sunset over the ocean. Would definitely recommend.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation / Mauna Kea Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner
Incredible! Definitely recommended
This was amazing! From our pick up point in Kona, our guide Kailikea (hope I spelled this right) was fantastic. He was so passionate about the trip and his home town it was so engaging. He's such a helpful, friendly and knowledgeable chap. I didn't expect to learn so much, but it was just the right level. 'Kea was clear about what to expect from the altitude and how to best manage it. We were lucky enough to see the Silversword plants by the visitor centre and then enjoyed our meal, included in the tour; veggie lasagne and chocolate brownie. It was a mixed journey up to the summit with some paved and some very bumpy roads but so worth the trip. We learned all about the different dishes and observatories and watched the beautiful sunset from the summit. We had to head lower for stargazing to avoid polluting the light by the observatories. We were awestruck by how many stars you could see, it was stunning. The powerful telescopes were set up and we were shown the visible planets and constellations/asterisms. Viewing the Edna carina nebula through the telescope was an incredible experience. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Kauai Waimea Canyon Sightseeing, Kokee Nature Walk & Coffee Tour with Lunch / Kauai Waimea Canyon & Kokee Trail Adventure
Superb tour!
We thoroughly enjoyed this sightseeing tour, with driver & guide, Kaleo. He was helpful, informative and hilarious! Stories, quips and jokes all day long. We even learned how to pronounce "humuhumunukunukuapua`a"! We saw some highlights of the beautiful island of Kaua`i including the spouting horn blow hole and we were lucky enough to get a clear view of the waimea canyon, before the clouds rolled in! We had a tasty lunch at chicken in a barrell and sampled delicious coffee at the Kaua`i coffee plantation. The trail at the state park is very short and the order of the stops is different to that listed on the veltra site, but regardless we would 100% recommend this tour.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim / Sacred Falls Paddle & Hike Tour
Really enjoyable morning.
We did the 7:30am tour and am glad we got out before it got too busy on the trail. I had never kayaked before but our guide, Garrett or "G" was able to answer any questions I had and I was quickly put at ease.
The kayaking up to the trail was good and the river not too busy. The trail was around a mile or so. We knew from the pictures that there's a crossing over water but we weren't aware there were about 4 each way and that one was about hip height. It was fine, we were just taken aback a bit.
Some of the trail was muddy, some was boarded walkways and some was literally clambering over jagged rocks. Wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues!
We only had around 40 minutes at the sacred falls, which was a shame. A little longer would've been better.
A highlight was meeting a little shama thrush that G had befriended.
The trail back seemed muddier due to the amount of folk on the trail.
The kayak back was a little harder as we were going against the flow of the river, but overall it was an incredible experience.
Aloha Lammy,
You should write a guide book. Great review and gives potential clients an idea of what to expect on the river and trail.
We ...you are lucky to have Garrick sharing his particular brand of aloha. Garrett is great water man with a real handle on the natural and cultural history of the area, while keeping it all safe and fun.
We try to spend an hour by the falls, but that is always dependent on group and weather dynamics.
Your only error is paddling back you are actually paddling with the slow current, but it is paddling into the wind that can at time test your mettle.
Stay well and active and thanks for taking the time to share.
A hui hou,
Micco
Head Guide

Mauna Loa & Kilauea Big Island Volcano Helicopter Tour from Hilo - Blue Hawaiian / Mauna Loa & Kilauea Volcano Helicopter Tour
Superb experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our flight over the volcanoes. From the staff giving us our safety briefing to pilot, everyone was friendly and professional and explained everything thoroughly. The flight was great, despite a little rain... which meant we flew above a rainbow! We got to see a few craters and the pilot made sure to show them from bother sides so that all passengers got a good view.
There was a fun soundtrack to go along with each stage of the flight too. The flight was recorded which could be purchased, if desired.
Only slight downside was that it wasn't the easiest for us to find. The satnav took us to the nearby UPS depot and there's just one small sign for Blue Hawaiian, once you get up to the building. Not worth marking the experience down for though, would 100% recommend.
