Circle Island Tour
This is an excellent way to experience a little bit of everything the Island has to offer and give you an opportunity to decide where and what you'd like to follow up on and see more of. I'd advise taking it at the beginning of your stay. May not be suitable for young children simply because of the length of time it takes... 12 hours plus on a bus. Unfortunately for us, they seem to need to do some work on their buses as we had to be moved to a different bus 3 times during the trip because of mechanical issues. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining while pointing out all the landmarks and history of the Island such as Rainbow Falls, the Black Sand Beach, Kona Coffee Plantation, Lava Lake and so much more.

Island Breeze Big Island Kona Luau at King Kamehameha Hotel with Open Bar
Island Breeze Luau
This was an amazing Luau.. WOW! Can't say enough about it. The food was amazing, the entertainment, the entire night. We opted for preferred seating so we were escorted right in, greeted with a fresh flower lei and had our picture taken. That was just the start of a truly fantastic evening. It was held near the ocean at the King Kamehameha Hotel within view of the Ahuena Heiau. The Ahu'ena Heiau is the religious temple that served Kamehameha the Great when he returned to the Big Island in 1812. The show after dinner was spectacular, hard to describe with words.

Half Day Shared Sport Fishing
Although this was a lot of fun; it is a bit pricey... an expensive boat ride. You don't actually handle the rods unless something is caught, otherwise you just enjoy the ride. In our case, we didn't catch anything so we just enjoyed the ride. The views are spectacular and we ran into a school of dolphins which was amazing to watch. If you don't mind the money, it is still a good way to just relax and soak up the sun. It's not much in the way of fishing since you don't actually get to handle any of the rods, that is done by the crew only although they said if anything was caught, you could try to reel it in and they'd help.

BOB's Underwater Adventure
This was our first experience with "BOB" and it was amazing! Especially for me as I'm a bit paranoid with being underwater and don't like water in my face and can't even handle snorkeling. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it but after the initial nervousness of being submerged, I was able to see all the wonderful sites of colorful fish and sea turtles and my hair didn't even get wet!!! It was amazing!

North Kohala ATV Tour & Waterfall Adventure by ATV Outfitters Hawaii
ATV Tour
My husband and I booked this adventure on The Big Island and WOW! It was a very unique way to spend the day and so much fun! You can either drive an ATV or as my husband and I did, an off-road Jeep. You get to see many areas that can't be accessed by the general public and riding an ATV is just fun no matter how you look at it. This is an activity and particularly well suited to The Big Island because of the Island's unique landscape. We would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who wants to do something different.

3-event Combo
My husband and I went on a 3-event combo choosing the banana boat, parasailing and jet skiing. The banana boat was a blast and a lot of fun, made us feel like kids again. The parasailing was my favorite as it was my first time doing it and although I was initially scared, the crew was so nice and helpful and I had the best time ever!! My husband loved the jet ski's and I think we had to practically make him come in out of the water! lol BTW, this trip was for our 25th Wedding Anniversary.
