Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option
Like being on the moon
Our pilot was friendly, very personable with each one of us. I loved how he used our names as if we already had knowledge of what he was about to share with us. That was a fun way to learn. Amazing how large this volcano is!! Later in the day we drove from Hilo down to the area so we could touch the lava in person. Felt like we were on another planet. Lava and desolation for as far as we could see. Thanks for this experience. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters are the BEST!!! Awesome pilot and staff!!

Horses, Guns, and Secret Island
I really enjoyed horseback riding! Hadn't been on a horse in 25-year but it all came back to me. My horse minded VERY well. Thanks for the stairs to get on the horse. Kinda wished I had them to get back -- at 56 yrs old, I'm not as agile physically. I LOVED riding a horse again!!
Never shot a gun before. Out of 40 shots, I hit the target about 15 times, which surprised me. I liked all the safety features built into this activity. No way someone would accidentally shoot someone. Fabulous experience!
I was a little disappointed with the Secret Island beach beneath the water. Seaweed on the bottom was fine. It was rocky. Maybe they could have suggested to wear water shoes to the event. Water was great, although I expected it to be clear instead of muddy. Hammock was fun. They had lots of activities -- kayak, boats to row, volleyball, etc. I like how they provided the beach mats to lay on.
Overall a wonderful time!! Thank you!!

Parasailing ever though& Jet Skiing
We really lucky out on the day we went parasailing. We were the only two people in the boat to go parasailing (others didn't show) so we had the crew's undivided attention. Did the Extreme-Parasailing; 500 feet up, tandem (next to) my friend. The wind was blowing great. Beautiful sunny, clear day. One of the guys took a roll of film of us and gave it to us to develop. One of the pictures of us also had an airliner in the picture (they'd just taken off from Honolulu Airport). That was very cool!! They did a touch-n-go in the water. Awesome experience. On the top 5 of most fun activities I've ever done in my life!! I'm afraid of heights and not a good swimmer. We were well strapped in and with life vests. Very safe. I LOVED it and would do it again and AGAIN and AAGGAAIINN!!
JetSkiing -- the water was very choppy that day because of the high winds. The experience would have been fabulous if we'd worn goggles to keep the salt water from stinging our eyes. On a calmer day, maybe googles

Sea Life Park Hawaii Dolphin Experiences & Day Pass
Off the Chart Awesome Dolphin Event
I've always loved dolphins and now EVEN more. You have to try the ROYAL SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS!!! By far, my favorite Hawaiian Acitity dot com activity of the trip!!! I'm not a good swimmer (can dog paddle) and wasn't sure about being in an 18-ft tank (1 M gallons of water with 3 dolphins). I had a life vest on. Awesome, awesome, awesome experience!! I touched, kissed, and posed with the dolphins. Other places in the world do that. But here you can lay on your belly, two dolphins swim up behind you and push your feet; it's like waterskiing by dolphins. I LOVED it!!!!!! Also, you float vertical in the water with your hands to your side and two dolphin swim to each side of you, sliding their fins into your hands and take you for a ride. Awesome experience, unique to Sea Life Park in Hawaii! I'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!! Try it! You'll love it!! Dolphins are fabulous creatures! And we bought a DVD of our experience so we can take it home and relive it again.
We also did the Sea T
