Kilauea Volcano Hike & Lava Flow Adventure
Great chance to see the lava
We had a really small group which was really enjoyable. The World's most active volcano has been constanly spurting lava in the water for the past 30 years making Big Island bigger by day. This place still is very safe, as the lava is very lazy here, even if new eruption starts right next to you, you still can slowly walk away making selfies all the way. Unfortunately we didnt manage to see any active lava on the ground, but had an amazing sunset overlooking lava flowing in the water. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took great care of us and we had an amazing dinner at the restaurant after the tour.

Must do when visiting Maui!
Hawaii is perfect for snorkeling! I have done it many times before, but I have never had a chance to get so close to sea creatures. Molokini Island is a moon shaped underwater volcano crater and it is one of the most famous snorkeling destinations in Hawaii. Hawaiians take good care of their ocean and have many rules to obey in it and one of them in not to touch anything in the water, which I just loved, you can get as close as possible but still have to respect animals. It is very nice to see that animals are totally relaxed here and would really come close to you if you dont attempt to jump on them. We had an amazing team, we had 2 stops for snorkling and the experience was just magical. Maybe you should consider to take a heli tour around there as well, as the views from above are just amazing and give you a real chance to enjoy the moon shape of the island! I twas a fantastic tour and I totally recommend everyone to get on it!

Best snorkeling tour there is!
Kayaking in Hawaii always sounds like a good idea, especially if your tour includes snorkelling wth turtles, seeing reefs and marine life. We have spotted a number of sea turtles that were swimming right next to us. Our guide was very knowledgeable as he shared some interesting facts, let us touch sea urchins and showed the best place to swim with turtles! We didn't manage to see any whales as we arrived quite late in the season, so these could only be seen from a boat that is able to travel further in the open ocean. Our tour guide has also offered refreshments during the trip so we had plenty of energy to keep us going for several hours. All in all great tour for those who like snorkelling.

Had a time of my life!
I have always wanted to see dolphins out in the wild and swim with them in the open ocean. I have heard of the tours where travellers are offered to swim with dolphins in the pool, but this is a completely different experience. We have travelled to several snorkelling spots before our speed boat started to make its way to a place where Hawaiian spinner dolphins are usually resting. Our captain was funny and enthusiastic, he also had a cute dog called Kiki – everyone on the boat just fell in love with her! After we spotted a group of dolphins we observed them from the boat for about 20 minutes and then decided to jump in the water. Our captain knew exactly what needs to be done in order to get the best experience possible. He told us to stay calm and jump quietly in the water and wait for the dolphins to approach us. Emotions I felt that day are hard to describe, I was crying from happiness, laughing and was completely overwhelmed with the beauty of these magical creatures. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who is visiting Oahu and looking to have a memorable experience and fun.

Highlight of my trip to Hawaii!
Swimming with Manta Rays has been on my bucket list for a very long time. Seeing these beautiful creatures swimming next to you was absolutely unreal! As you can only spot Manta Rays at night we went for a short boat trip first where we watched the sunset, enjoyed the weather and had a few drinks. Our captain was a great guy who showed us something I couldn’t believe existed – a green flash right before the sun disappears below the horizon – thought it was a myth! Crew did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and to enhance our experience throughout the entire trip. Manta Rays were swimming right next to us and I managed to get a perfect footage on my GoPro camera which I am going to use for my video. This experience is a must do if you are visiting Big Island – this was definitely a highlight of my trip to Hawaii!
