What are people saying about Big Island of Hawaii

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.

KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings

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: Mauna Kea Summit Tour with Free Night Star Photo

John_Z, Apr 2026

Our Mauna Kea Summit Tour...

Our Mauna Kea Summit Tour on the Big Island was an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all expectations from the very first moment we boarded the van. The journey up the mountain offered stunning views that gradually transformed as we climbed through different climate zones, building anticipation for the summit. Reaching the top and watching the sunset above the clouds was absolutely breathtaking, with vibrant oranges and pinks painting the sky in a way that felt almost magical. Standing at nearly 14,000 feet, we were literally above the cloud layer, creating a surreal scene that made the entire experience deeply memorable. Our tour guide Chris kept the group entertained throughout with his hilarious stories and witty jokes, making the long drive fly by in laughter. Chris was incredibly accommodating, patiently answering every question and ensuring everyone had the perfect spot for photos during the sunset. The way the sun dipped below the ocean of clouds left us speechless, a moment of pure natural beauty that will stay with us forever. From the crisp mountain air to the incredible stargazing that followed, every part of the Mauna Kea Summit Tour felt special and well-organized. Thanks to Chris’s expert guidance and fun personality, our group felt safe, informed, and thoroughly enjoyed the high-altitude adventure together. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with awe-inspiring views and wonderful memories.

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!

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.
