This was a once in a lifetime experience. We rented a Jeep but opted to do this tour instead of driving ourselves and we are sooo glad we did. Our driver/guide James was the nicest, most accommodating, very knowledgeable and overall favorite Hawaiin we met. The Summit is amazing and the Stars are a once in a lifetime experience!

Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History

John_W, May 2026

Great Guide and Tour

Dave was a great tour guide, he was so knowledgeable on Hawaii and helpful in making sure we got our money worth on each stop! The highlight of the tour was him getting us to the eruption of the volcano! We got there early and beat the crowds ! This was a once in a lifetime event and he made it happen 👍.

Kona Signature Catamaran Sunset Sail

The cruise was absolutely...

The cruise was absolutely perfect. The catamaran did not feel overcrowded at all. The crew was so thoughtful and friendly. It was a comfortable, down to earth experience. The food was a nice surprise- plenty of drinks and snacks. And of course, the sunset was spectacular! Thank you for a truly unforgettable experience!

Big Island ATV Tour at Ohana Ranch

Ashley_A, May 2026

Best ATV Experience even for locals 110% satisfied

All I can say is this experience went beyond any expectations I had. I have done other ATV tours but this was by far the BEST. I came to big island for a weekend vacation with friends from Oahu and we were just blown away by how much fun it was. Hilo always rains and we did get drenched but it was all part of the fun. They had boots for us even going up to size 14 which my friend used. The rain added to the fun because we got to ride through puddles but surprisingly we didn't get dirty. Being born and raised in Hawaii I know a lot about the culture and about the plants but I actually gained a lot more knowledge through this tour. Our tour guides Hannah and Keoki were so amazing and had so much knowledge. We passed animals along the way and you start off on a good slow speed just to get used to it and then they kick it up a little and off you go. 2 hours of fun and education was well worth it. Couldn't ask for a better experience. I will definitely book again every time I visit. I highly recommend getting glasses that can record because you need both hands to ride. I got some good footage while riding with meta glasses using voice commands to record and take pictures. dont wait to book. JUST DO IT!!!!! =)

Hilo Shore Excursion: Volcanoes National Park & Black Sand Beach

Randal_M, May 2026

This was a fantastic tour...

This was a fantastic tour and experience!! I highly recommend this trip! Our tour was on May 4th. Our tour guide (can't remember his name because; my memory sucks) was VERY informative, knowledgeable, and patient. I say patient because a few of us couldn't tell time but he kept us in line and on time!!

Big Island GOAT Experience: Mauna Kea Summit, Sunset & Stars

Tianmeng_Z, May 2026

A Journey Through Time and Space with the Amazing Kyla & Mr. Tay

Still dreaming about last night’s tour! Mauna Kea provided a once-in-a-lifetime sunset and the most unbelievably amazing stargazing I’ve ever seen. This was my first time ever looking through an actual telescope, and it was mind-blowing! We had two incredible guides (stars ⭐️) who truly made the night. Kyla (her Hawaiian name means 'Peacemaker'!) was so passionate while sharing the cultural stories and legends of the mountain - it added such a deep, welcome meaning to the experience. And Mr. Tay was funny as hell while teaching us the astronomy side of things! The mix of science, storytelling, and humor was the perfect combination. 10/10!

Big Island: Atlantis Submarine from Kona Beach

Tim_F, Apr 2026

Atlantis Submarine adventure!

This was a great time! We have never done a submarine tour before but this was very nice and clean! The narration was great at letting you know what you were seeing and where to look. It was amazing at how brilliant and colorful everything was 110 ft below the surface. Yes 110 feet!!!

Big Island: Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Adventure in Kailua-Kona

Wesley_G, Apr 2026

Awesome adventure!

This was an awesome experience, but participants should be strong swimmers, know how to use mask and snorkel, not be afraid of swimming in dark water and comfortable on boats in rough water. Our group was fine and we had a blast! The manta rays are amazing creatures and so exciting to watch. We were supplied with wet suit tops which was good as it was a little chilly in the water. Our arms got really tired holding onto the light frame but it was an exhilarating experience. Elele(?) and Toby were excellent with lots of interesting facts and sharp wit. It was a very memorable event and one of the highlights of our trip.

Dublin Historical Centre Food Tour with 6 Food Tastings & Drinks

Lauren_U, Apr 2026

Great food tour

Francesca was a great guide. Took us around town. Told us some history and took us to some great locally owned businesses. We missed the sausage rolls but everything else was great. Highly recommend the cheese and the apparel at the ice cream shop is high quality and makes great souvenirs. Recommend this tour if you want to eat some yummy local food.

Big Island, Hawaii: Volcanoes National Park Safari

ELAINE_H, Mar 2026

Canceled due to cloud cover

We so looked forward to flying over Volcano National Park via helicopter. But the cloud cover was low, blocking any view of Kikeaua. Plus tge mountsin was only steaming, with no visible lava flows. We were offered a different route, viewing the waterfalls to the north, but declined. We tgen drove thru the park, viewing the Kileaua Cauldron. On the day we departed the Big island, Kileaua erupted. If I get to return, I will indeed book a helicopter visit with Safari! Our refund came graciously and quickly.
