Big Island SNUBA Diving Tour from Kona - Guided Beach SNUBA Dive [Closed]
not scuba diving but still worth it
My husband and I both participated in this adventure. We are certified divers but didn't want to deal with equipment or renting gear. This was a good alternative. The reef is a very short swim from the shore. I immediately saw tangs, angels, eel, parrot fish, rock fish, and wrasse. Because the water was so shallow the colors were vibrant. The tour sold $20 underwater cameras and I was able to take pictures. Well worth the money.

Kayaking on the open sea
I gave the adventure 5 stars, because I don't think it could have been any better and the guides were excellent.
That being said, I did not enjoy the adventure. The water was very rough and I had a very difficult time paddling and controlling the kayak. I have kayaked on lakes and rivers before without difficulty. In addition, because it was so rough, I got VERY sea-sick. That made the return trip nearly impossible. Since you are on your own, you have to muscle through it. As a result, my husband didn't enjoy it because he was worried about me.
Some suggestions, don't do this adventure if you get sea-sick. Another gentleman in the group was also throwing up, so it wasn't just me. In addition, unless you are in amazing physical condition, get a two person kayak. You can use your combined strength to get through the waves.

Scenic Waipio Ridge Horseback Rides - Ride the Rim & Hidden Waterfalls / Valley Rim Ride [Half Day]
Absolutely amazing
My husband and I went for the ride and it was beautiful and the best experience in our time in Hawaii. I have never ridden a horse before, so I was very nervous. I was given a very calm horse, Polo, who needed little guidance. I basically sat back and enjoyed the ride through the forest to the Waipio Valley. It was quiet, serene, and unforgettable.
