Hawaii, Big Island

LOVED it!

Kids had a GREAT time and so did we. We have been waiting to do this vacation for a very long time and I'm happy to say we loved every minute. Thank you to the great crew at Blue Sea Cruises, we hope to meet you all once again. Cheers!

Well Done all round!

Rob our guide (and the big Kahuna of HF&T) turned up on time and was quick to introduce himself and make everyone at ease including the young kids we had.
The vehicle HF&T use are top quality Sprinter vans not the cramped clunky old F350's and the like that all the other companies we saw were using. This had lots of leg room, great visibility and a smooth ride. We certainly saw all the other travelers with different tour companies looking at us with envy at the amount of space and comfort we had.
Rob new his stuff and before 10 minutes passed we were all hanging on his every word, and even the kids were quiet!. Any of his staff that spends time with him would obviously benefit from his experience and knowledge. Rob showed a great empathy for the indigenous Hawaiians and his knowledge of their beliefs and customs was terrific. The way he could get his tongue around some of the Hawaiian words was certainly impressive, a skill which would only come from many years of exposure to the cul

Twilight Volcano 3/2010

Bob Fewell was an excellent tour guide on our trip to see the volcanoes on March 5th. It was just the two of us so we covered a lot of ground in the time we had, which is what I wanted. He was very knowledgeable and personable. I would like to retain him again when we come back.

Parker Ranch!

What an amazing ride and ranch facility. We especially loved the small town of Kamuela and its history and great eateries and shopping. Definitely a town to visit and a horeseback ride we will never forget!

I was absolutely stunned by the beauty of East Hawaii. Hilo can often be a victim of superficial judgments. I know it is the rainiest city in the USA and that it is routinely beset by tropical downpours but we saw rainbows, waterfalls and green, green, green… Thank you.

Hawaii, Oahu

Since we, literally, just got off the boat {your boat that is}, I thought I would take this opportunity to be the first to thank you by e-mail for the great time we had {I'll bet you don't get many written notes within 2 hours of the return to harbor}. Not only were all aboard {captain, crew and passengers} extremely friendly and helpful, but the boat, turtles and, especially, the dolphins were great. My daughter, Wendy, already misses her pod-mates; and my wife, the non-swimmer, can't stop talking about what a terrific experience she had. All-in-all a superior family adventure, one not to be missed and, surely, not to be forgotten. Thanks once again, and, of course, feel free to share my thoughts with others.

It's been 5 months since our Kauai vacation, and Aliya and I are still sharing our flight experience with friends. Every once in awhile we find a service provider that does everything right -- hospitality, value, and exceptional experience. Wings Over Kauai is such a company and I posted my pictures to your website so that others who might be contemplating a helicopter air tour can see just how fantastic the views were from your plane.

Kauai Air Tour

My wife and I had a wonderful time!!! We chose this since the reviews were stellar and we were not disappointed one bit. We loved the entire flight experience and felt so productive afterwards! Thank you to Bruce and his lovely wife for such an opportunity.

Aloha and Mahalo

We did the parasail in Waikiki and had so much fun that we wanted to do one in Maui too. This is by far the best activity in the islans of hawaii .... and it was surprisingly serene and peaceful. We definitely recommend this one!

Thanks to all at Action Sports.

Excellent organization.
Very professional, yet down to earth and friendly.
I learned a lot more than I expected and had a blast the entire time.
