What are people saying about Big Island of Hawaii

Heather_J, Apr 2026

Gonna’ dream about rays.

Very friendly and efficient set up. You could tell the outfit has been doing this awhile. We were on the 8:40 tour & saw up to 6 manta rays at once swirling around eating plankton. My husband said he felt one graze his stomach! Truly unforgettable. I have 2 teens that are familiar with snorkeling so using the equipment and being able to hold the flat position in the water wasn’t a problem. ( If you or your child isn’t comfortable with snorkel gear or may panic with the rays so near, this may not be for you as a panicked person would certainly ruin the experience for the entire group be scaring the rays away. Renting a wet suit was helpful ( $10 at check in) and kept me plenty warm. I think we will dream of rays for a long time.

Big Island: Atlantis Submarine from Kona Beach

Bob_C, Apr 2026

A Whole New World just off the coast of Kona

The amazing tour in the ocean down to over 100 ft. below the surface was truly spectacular. We saw a wide variety of fish and corral. Our guide, Tyler, talked about the names of the fish as we saw them and helped us to distinguish between the many varieties. He also add fun stories. We also saw some shipwrecks.

Raigan_I, Apr 2026

Great way to start your vacation

There was a variety of sites stops to satisfy every taste. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the topology, culture, history, legends, and going on of this beautiful island. I would highly recommend this to anybody who wants to have a very brought overview of the island so they know where and what they want to visit next.

Kara_S, Apr 2026

Epic, bucket list item on the Big Island!

This tour was incredible! From the wonderful tour guide, to getting to see the sunset above the clouds, to star gazing and getting to see nebulas through a telescope- it was epic from start to finish. My family and I loved it and would highly recommend!

Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch

Brent_S, Apr 2026

Amazing boat and crew....

Amazing boat and crew. They kept us informed every step of the way. They provided snorkle gear, snacks and lunch. Frequently checked to make sure everyone was OK during the boat ride and snorkeling. It was a beautiful sunny day. One of the great highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

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

Jordan_W, Apr 2026

Caron Bryce and crew of the win!

What an incredible experience! The tour guide was relaxed and took the edge off for anyone who could possibly be afraid! The team of three lead by Capt. Bryce was very aware of the passengers needs, stayed engaged with all guests and answered questions. As we were pulling out of the Channel we were asked if anyone wanted a picture of the sunset, everyone sat in their seats, as th sunset developed in to a stunning red sky, Bryce stopped the boat and said “are you sure no one wants a photo” - a testament to his awareness and respect for the beauty of nature but of his guests. Once arriving at Manta Ray Village, the crew took great care arranging the light boards and ensuring directions were communicated and clearly understood. As we ascended in to the water and got the light boards, the water was cool but not miserably cold, th mantas came almost immediately to the plankton coming to the light. While we were watching these incredible creatures swim, one of the crew was giving incredible facts about the Mantas. Over all this was one of the most incredible experiences. Peacefully and enlightening. I would suggest this adventure and this crew to anyone!

Dublin Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Food Tastings & Drinks

Charlie_C, Apr 2026

Fantastic start to a day in Dublin

My girlfriend and I did this tour in late December '25 in Dublin. Didn't plan on being tipsy by noon but this tour made it enjoyable. Be prepared for an early Irish coffee along with optional wine and shots of whiskey. The food was well selected with oysters, stew, ice cream, among other sumptous delicacies. Very much recommend this fun, feeling and informative tour of Dublin.

Kona Signature Catamaran Sunset Sail

Anne_B, Mar 2026

A Sunset to Remember

The boat ride was so fun…the whole crew seemed to be having a good time right along with the guests. There were some pretty good waves at one point so be prepared if you get any kind of motion sickness. A dinner of teriyaki chicken and rice with macaroni salad was also included so you definitely won’t leave hungry. We saw the most beautiful sunset as Hawaiian music played in the background. An unforgettable adventure!

Big Island ATV Tour at Ohana Ranch

Luis_F, Mar 2026

Atv

We had an amazing experience on the ATV tour at Ohana Ranch, and a huge part of that was thanks to Hannah! From the moment we arrived, she was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable, no matter their experience level. She gave clear instructions, kept safety a top priority, and made sure the whole group was having a great time. Hannah’s energy really stood out—she was fun, engaging, and knowledgeable about the area. She pointed out cool spots along the ride and made the entire experience feel more personal and memorable. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows in how she interacts with guests. The ride itself was incredible—beautiful views, exciting trails, and just the right mix of adventure and relaxation. Hannah made sure we stayed together while still letting us enjoy the thrill of the ride. If you’re thinking about doing an ATV tour at Ohana Ranch, I highly recommend going with Hannah. She truly made the experience unforgettable!

Hilo Shore Excursion: Volcanoes National Park & Black Sand Beach

DGrant_C, Mar 2026

BJ brings the Thunder!!!

We were fortunate to have BJ as our tour guide. He was absolutely one of the most knowledgeable and communicative guides we have ever come across. While the tour was only 4.5 hours long, it absolutely flew by with BJ filling us in with facts, stories and helpful information about Hilo and the island of Hawaii. We would 100% recommend this tour and be sure to ask for BJ.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Experience from the Big Island

Sharon_M, Mar 2026

Life changing experience!

This is an all day trip. Be prepared and bring a raincoat and good hiking shoes. It rains ALOT in Hilo and the hike around the crater rim and in the lava tubes are slippery when wet. Our tour guide from Aloha Sunshine Tours was Jim Carey and he was amazing! Such an awesome guide and story teller. We stopped along the way to and from the volcano. He made sure to point out every point of interest, various plants/trees and local businesses. We stopped at a coffee farm, a local bakery to pick up a picnic lunch, Rainbow Falls and the Big Island Candies company in Hilo. We got delicious samples of candy that are available for purchase. The volcano experience is amazing! It’s about a mile hike slightly uphill to the Volcano House. There is a restaurant and gift shop there as well as great views of the volcano. We got a steam ‘facial’ from leaning over one of the cracks in the earth where the heat from the lava pours out. The lava tubes are so cool - definitely need a flashlight! It’s also very wet and the ceiling is low - be sure to duck! It’s such a unique experience in Hawaii and I would definitely recommend it. It’s a life changing experience for sure!

Big Island, Hawaii: Volcanoes National Park Safari

Chris_J, Mar 2026

Backup plan

The weather over the volcanoes was horrible and unsafe so our pilot, Jim, gave us the option to fly the northhwest coast, andd see waterfalls, green valleys and whales. What a great option and was perfect for our first ever helicopter flight. Highly recommend this tour and the company was very professional and personable.
