Halloween in Hawaii (Updated 2026)

Breathtaking experience. Grandma and daughter went with me! Staff were amazing and made the experience that much more memorable. It was as if time was standing still. View was priceless and water was the most beautiful color of blue. Definitely recommend for all.

Wonderful!! Unbelievable view and owner was so friendly and professional also knowledgeable about the activity.

We had a blast on the UTV Raptor Tour! Super family friendly and just an all around good time. If you’re looking for a crazy adrenaline rush, this probably isn’t the tour for you. It’s a pretty mild ride, but the views and history definitely make up for it.And if you get these two ladies as your guides, you hit the jackpot! They were our guides, photographers, historians and comedians all in one. They kept us laughing, took some great pics and made the whole tour that much better. Definitely got our money’s worth with these two!

Great snorkeling at this location, which is VERY difficult to reach by foot, moderately difficult to reach via kayak, and easy to reach via boat. Pluses: - Micah (our boat operator) rocks, as did her first mate (Leleani?). They love their jobs ( and it shows), and they love to share the history of the bay, Captain Cook, and the beauty of the island, its features, and its wildlife. - They will rent you corrective goggles if you are nearsighted. If you are, pony up. The reef goes deep and it is magnificent to see all the way down. - They supply flippers on the boat. These will help you motivate in the water, the bay covers a wide swath of land. - They supply you with a pool noodle. You don't have to exert yourself much to see amazing things on this trip. That said, there is ample diving opportunities in this spot as well. - The boat rips. If you have the need for speed, you will get your fix. Keep in mind: - We rented fins from the van b/c we didn't know they supplied flippers on the boat. Fins are better than flippers but we probably would have passed. They did give us a discount upon our return. - Bring a swim shirt and sport (mineral based) sunscreen and use them. The Hawaiian sun laughs at your paltry attempts to protect yourself. Seriously. - There are more pauses on the way back to see the lava tubes, caves, and discuss the history of the area and the island. If you need to pee, do it before you get back on the boat. The fish won't mind. - They also do a night snorkel with manta rays. Might give you a discount if you ask ;). -The boat rips. If you want a gentle ingress and egress to the bay, a catamaran or similar may be better. Ditto if you have small kids who may be spooked by racing over the water in a twin engine craft used by Navy Seals ;).

Incredible 10 out of 10 Great tour perfect amount of time the guides were great and informative mantas get so close

Amazing night snorkeling with manta rays. The guide was friendly, funny, and made everything feel safe and easy. We saw five manta rays, and it truly felt like a mystical experience.

very interesting and informative. Our guide was great. The tastings were good. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

10 out of 10. No notes. The experience, and the crew in particular, were so on point that we ended up booking their manta ray night snorkel tour later that night, and we had already done a manta ray night snorkel tour with a different operator a few nights prior. The Captain Cook snorkel tour was so fun, super informative, and extremely well run. The boat we were on was small, fast, and nimble. Which is what you want. That means less time getting to the snorkeling and more time in the water. It also means less people in the tour. Which is a huge plus. Smaller tours are ALWAYS better. We saw tons of wildlife and learned a lot from the crew. If I remember correctly, the Captain was named Alexis and tour lead? (not sure what her title was) was named Caleigh. They were AMAZING. Crazy informative, super competent, funny, and overall really chill people that clearly love what they do and are seriously good at it. I've done about 15, mostly snorkel tours, across the Hawaiian islands and they were probably the best crew I've ever encountered. Can't recommend Hawaii Oceanic enough, ESPECIALLY CAPTAIN ALEXIS AND CALEIGH!!

Great experience. We did the tour and the foot bath/ soak. The water was 48 degrees with a magnesium add in and was wonderful. The tour guide was incredible and very passionate about conservation and tools the history of the farm beautifully. After seeing several evaporation stages to get to sea salt, we did a tasting with a lot of different flavors. Definitely worth the time and the flavored salt is so so good, we bought several!

Highly recommended. This was a beautiful excursion, and we made some great memories along the way. Such a beautiful area!

Such an amazing time! Can't wait to bring the family back and do it again! Company and tour guides were all amazing. Not to mention the views were stunning and the ride was fun. Mahalo!

Honestly, it was an incredible experience. The guides were perfect—taking us to different spots where we could see so many beautiful fish. Their knowledge was impressive, making the trip even more enjoyable. It’s one thing to go fishing, but having guides who teach you how to fish and share their insights takes it to a whole new level. Truly, it was a fantastic experience!

Easy to access, beautiful layout easy to navigate and wondrous sea life to observe, an IMAX theater with the whales….and restaurant and shops are great!!

It was fun to see the fields and taste the chocolate. It is pricey, but everything on the island is. I was pleased to hear it is a non profit.

Loved the guides..they were informative and were fun😊 The trails were definitely not boring!!! Would highly recommend 🥳

We had a marvelous time being among the cocoa trees and then way above the trees in the treehouse!! Our guide, Nissa, was fantastic! She was as knowledgeable as she was hilarious!! The chocolate tasting was a dream! Eating chocolate while looking at the beauty of Maui! A day can’t get any better than that! I highly recommend this tour!
