    Big Island in a Day
    My husband and I did the big island tour with Dreu and it exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed every stop, lunch was delicious, Dreu provided so much information and was extremely knowledgeable and we felt safe the entire time! We even saw Honu’s (turtles) at the black sand beach. It was a blast and definitely a highlight during our honeymoon in Hawaii. We highly recommend this 12 hour tour, its a long day but totally worth it!

    Review of: Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stars Free Astro Photos Hilo Kona Waikoloa Pick Up
    Just do it!
    My wife and I, with our 3 young-adult children took a chance on this guided tour. We usually explore on our own, so we felt like this was a bit of a risk to our style. Let me tell you that these folks organized a wonderful excursion, and our guide Addison ( I hope I spelled your name right) was exceptional. We didn't feel like tourists, we felt like guests. Addison was a great story teller and shared vast information throughout the excursion. Overall a truly awesome experience. Don't hesitate....just book.

    Review of: Night Manta Ray Adventure on the Big Island, Hawaii
    Great experience. Saw manta rays as expected.
    Experienced crew members. The boat is clean and nice to have warm water to rinse our bodies after coming back to the water.

    Crew members are very polite and professional. Captain is very funny and gave very detailed instructions.

    Review of: Deluxe Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Aboard a Luxury Catamaran from Kailua-Kona
    Outstanding customer service!
    The snorkeling experience was great. The light breakfast and burgers for lunch were great. However, what really impressed us were the crew members who couldn't do enough for you. There's something else that allowed me to relax and enjoy this excursion and that was the priority they placed on safety. The majority of, if not all, the crew were life guards. While anchored, they were strategically placed on the boat and on their boards in the water amongst all of us. Would I recommend to others? Yes. Would I go again? Yes.

    Review of: Big Island, Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel- Small Group
    AMAZING SEA LIFE!!
    The manta rays were amazing and being so close to them. This is a must do if you travel to the big island. Budda truly is the manta ray whisperer. We had at least 7 manta rays swimming with us and with their shear size, they took up the entire space below us. They are such peaceful creatures and it was peaceful watching them other than my wife just giggling all the time. LOL. One of the best experiences my wife and I have had in our travels.

    Unforgettable Experience
    It was incredible. The captain was fantastic- had water, hot chocolate and cookies for the kids and Eli, our in-water guide was truly amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the mantarays and surrounding areas and was patient and calm with our kids. I would highly recommend this adventure!

    Review of: Best Mauna Kea Summit Tour (Free sunset and star photo!)
    Awesome experience with Wes
    Wes was a great tour guide. Whatever the company is paying him is not enough. Overall great experience, unable to see the milkyway due to the fullmoon, but it was neat to be on the observatory and to hear Wes talk about the history and culture of the Hawaiians and local problems. Im much a history person and I really appreciated the honest and harsh truth of what is going on. Wes was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Hiro was also there with another group and was great as well, overall 10/10 would do it again.

    Review of: Molokai and Maui Helicopter Tour
    One word - Brilliant
    What a brilliant trip from start to finish, a big tick off the bucket list.
    Arron was our pilot he was thoroughly professional in his preparation for the flight and the safety briefing.
    His guided commentary during the trip was brilliant along with some of his anecdotes.
    We were sat in two of the three back seats, don't worry you can see just fine from there you don't miss a thing, Arron made sure of that as he would swivel the chopper around to give both sides the chance to view points of interest (and there was plenty).
    We got some excellent photos from the trip and one with Arron as well to remind us of a great trip in years to come.
    We thoroughly recommend this trip and Maverick helicopters

    Review of: Big Island Zipline Adventure - 2 1/2 hours
    Don’t hesitate to Zipline here!
    I took the wife and three kids (12, 11 and 7 years of age) to Zipline here and it was a fantastic experience. Our guides, Kanani and Joey, were so fun and relaxed, and helped ease my 7 year olds fears throughout the experience. They also educated us along the tour about the ecosystem and flora in the area. This was one of the only zip lines that allowed smaller children (<70 lbs) to ride as tandem, so it enabled our entire family to experience the fun despite. The last Zipline over the waterfall was the best cherry on top!

    We had the best time with Hunter and crew. He made us laugh and was super knowledgeable. We’d recommend this place over and over again. So cool to see all of those rays and it was a once in a lifetime experience.
