Cultural Stewardship in Waipiʻo Valley PRIVATE

Amazing adventure!!!
Hawaii was everything we hoped it would be and so much more.We zip-lined through the trees, explored coffee farms and volcanoes, experienced a beautiful luau, enjoyed a sunset dinner cruise, traveled through incredible microclimates, and eaten some of the best food we’ve ever had. Every day was an adventure.But on our last day of our vacation, we were reminded that the most meaningful experiences aren’t always the ones you can plan.We had the privilege of participating in a stewardship program with this nonprofit dedicated to preserving Hawaii’s ancient lands, including the sacred Valley of the Kings on the Big Island. Guided by Native Hawaiians, we listened to stories passed down through generations and learned how to cultivate taro, the plant used to make poi and one that holds deep cultural significance.Knowing this is a place few people ever get to experience, and only with the guidance of Native islanders, made the day even more special. It was humbling, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that the heart of Hawaii isn’t just found in its breathtaking landscapes, it’s found in its people, traditions, and the care they continue to show for this extraordinary place.What an unforgettable way to end an incredible adventure. We leave with full hearts, wonderful memories, and a deep appreciation for the beauty, history, and spirit of Hawaii. 🌺❤️🙏🏻

Great way to experience Hilo
We had a great experience from beginning to end. Steve was very responsive and helpful. Our tour guide Amanda was very nice and knowledgeable. We enjoy learning about the culture. We were provided with a great meal, wich provided sample of local food. This was a nice unexpected touch. Overall, I was very pleased with the service. I would definitely recommend touring with Aloha Aina.

A great tour and we felt we were contributing to a good cause.
Our guide Peter was extremely knowledgeable and experienced and is a member of the Friends of the Volcanoes Park, so the money we paid goes to the benefit of the park. He was very interesting, had lots of great stories, and was fun to be around.

Best guide that we could ever imagine for trip around Big Island of Hawaii. Thanks to Adam (the guide) we managed to see the Vulcano Fountain! He took care of us, showed us the island in one day. We could see all the most important and unique places on the island.It was also nice from Adam to provide us with some small snacks for the journey.Everything is expensive in Hawaii but travelling with Adam wasn't such a thing. The price for our group was really great :)

Cliff’s of Hawai’i Onomea Waterfall Cruise

Fun, exilerating, and snuck in some learning!
We took the small boat tour out into Hilo bay for a two hour waterfall tour. Our captains, Koleco and Morgan, took excellent care of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire adventure. Morgan made the safety tour fun and interesting. In spite of no promises, we did get a pod of spinner dolphins that follwed us around for awhile and showed off why they’re called spinners. The scenery, old sugar mills, ans waterfalls were just all so lovely. Morgan was a great source of information about hos the sugar mills operated and shaped the coastline. Koleco was a master at avoiding as many of the larger swells and kept us relatively dry. It only really rained on us the last 15 minutes or so and in no way dampened our enjoyment of this trip. Great job, mahalo, brothers!

Such a wonderful trip we booked again! Boat is solid. I am sensitive to motion. I took 1 Bonine and had no problems. I honestly may have not needed it. Captain and staff were so knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the whales and Hawaii. The cruise was not only to see whales, but a beautiful view of the coast.

Kailua Kona Whale Watching Boat Tour Experience
Heather_T, Feb 2026
Stop looking...just book it!
You can stop looking for whale watching excursions if you come across this company! This excursion was worth every penny. First of all, it's a small group tour. The max they can take is 6 people....the minimum is 2. So for me and my friend ...it was just us that they took out and that alone was awesome as it felt more personal. Samantha and her partner (in life and in business) were informative and just overall fun! They offered us drinks and prepackaged fresh fruit and cheese for a snack which was wonderful. Now about the boat...it appears to be new...its beautiful! Super clean and bright white. It has twin outboard motors and was a rather smooth ride for us sitting in the back. They played Hawaiian reggae like music and were thoughtful to ask if the volume was too loud or needed turned up. They allowed plenty of time for us to look over the horizon for whale activity. We were fortunate enough to see a LOT of whales...solo whales and a few in pairs. Where the boat ramp and harbor is there is a pod of spinner dolphins that had babies so they allowed us to hangout there to get video and photoz...even offering to take photos and videos of my friend and I with the dolphins on the background. They showed us video and sound clips of past trips they took which was great too. They have an awesome underwater 360 camera which allowed us to see some of what they experience on a daily basis! Again, an overall WONDERFUL excursions managed by WONDERFUL people. If you want a more intimate experience...you should book this tour with this company. It literally was the highlight of my Hawaiian cruise trip where we ported at multiple islands. I'd definitely book them again in a heartbeat if I can afford to visit Hawaii again!

Amazing experience on our snorkel trip this morning. The crew and captain were super friendly and knowledgeable. We took a short ride then were in the water for a good amount of time. We saw so many fish, urchins, a sea turtle and the beautiful reef. Then had a sandwich, snacks and drinks while enjoying the ride back to the bay. They even picked us up and dropped us back off at the resort. I would recommend to anyone looking for a snorkel trip!
