Private Magical Waterfall Tour

Petysek2021, Sep 2026

Feeling good as a first priority

Finally we went a little bit different way as the weather condition was bumpy in one part of the flight and I didn't feel so brave after my previous day sea sickness. Still brilliant flight above active volcano and coast. Very enjoying - and smooth. Thanks to Lance our pilot

Waterfalls and botanical gardens north east island tour

Nice relaxing and enjoyable tour. Stefan was so knowlegable and informative of the island. I learned so much and the scenery where we stopped was so beautiful. Well worth paying for a driver so you can enjoy yourself. Also breaking tour up into specialty area is the way to go. Not rushing around trying to see whole island in one day.

double sister vacation

We had a great time our driver and guide was a lot of fun and knowledgable of Hawaiian topics. I would recommend this tour. Lots of fun. Weather didn’t cooperate to well so a few of us declined the waterfall swim (rain/muddy).

Polynesian Cultural ATV Tour in Kona

105maribethf, Aug 2026

Great cultural experience

We had a blast on this excursion. My husband and I rode the ATVs and my older mother rode in a buggie. We booked last minute and unfortunately this lead to the reservation time overbooking. My mother was going to be squished in the backseat with some children but then the guides went above and beyond to ensure her comfort by bringing another buggie which allowed her to ride more comfortably and have her own guide to talk to. We really appreciated this accommodation. The actual tour was interesting with the stops at the different "islands" and the ATVs were fun! It's a group tour so this is not for you if you want to just ride fast, full throttle. I really enjoyed the stops and talks though!

The best!

Wow! What an amazing day! We would never have gotten nearly as much out of our time at Volcano had we hiked out on our own. Our guide John was the best…kind, knowledgeable, and so patient with a very inquisitive 12 year old. He has immense knowledge of cultural history, geology and botany. Wish we could have had more time and learned even more from John. Highly recommend! Great communication during a during an uncertain time and they even gave us a heads up the day before our schedule tour that an eruption had started so we could get to the area earlier.

Excellent Hawaiian ATV Experience

Our family ranged in age and we all agree the ATV tour with Aloha Adventures is one of our most memorable part of our trip to Hawaii. The guides and the knowledge shared was absolutely amazing. We truly loved our time here and would recommend it to people of all ages! My son will never forget his time cracking a coconut or seeing the painted trees up close. Don’t miss this tour!

Outstanding tour! Jodi and Rob are wonderful. Very knowledgeable about the volcano. Showed us the best spots to view the volcano and hidden gems in the park. Rob took family photos of us along the way and sent us a full gallery of wonderful pictures. I highly recommend Rob and Jodi if you are planning a trip to Volcanoes National Park.

Big Island: Private Ohana Kohala Waterfalls Adventure

tfwrenn, Aug 2026

Very Excellent Adventure Tour

What an excellent tour! Our guide, Garry, was so knowledgeable and interesting. So fun to explore with him. The tour picked us up at our rental house in a nice Sprinter van. We got to go onto private land which is pretty much uninhabited. They provided walking sticks, rain jackets, towels, day packs, snacks - everything was in great condition and excellent quality (ie. Patagonia jackets). It was so interesting to learn about the land and peoples who populated it originally. The hike was exactly as described - mild walking about 1-2 miles. Unfortunately, we were there the day before Hurricane Lala hit the island and the waterfalls were enormous so no swimming for us. Garry was amazed because he had been there 2 days prior and the size of the waterfalls was at least half to 3/4 of what we saw. We were disappointed to miss the swimming in the waterfalls but....that's nature for you. We had an excellent lunch afterwards. This tour is pricey but well worth it. I would definitely use Hawaii Forest & Trail again for other adventures.

Big Island Mountain Biking on Anna Ranch

Biggyfries14, Aug 2026

One of my top cycling experiences

We did the Anna Ranch tour yesterday and had a great time. We're both advanced cyclist so to ride with an experienced guide who knows cycling and the history of the ranch and the island, was an awesome experience. Thomas was great. He showed us water falls, hiking trails, talked history and cycling as a sport. If you're on the Big Island and you dig everything I just mentioned, this should be on your itinerary.

Mehreen_R, Aug 2026

Wonderful tour experience and great pictures!

Jodi was knowledgeable and patient with my boys. She is very passionate about the local fauna and the volcano. We had a tantrum that made us run late but despite that she didn’t rush the tour and extended it past the end time so we could see everything we were meant to see. I can’t thank her enough for that. She pointed out so many facts, beautiful plants and fauna. A real treat is that she is a photographer and takes family pictures throughout and they are free to download after! It is invaluable and I’m so glad she was able to capture these memories. I would recommend her and her tour to anyone coming to the big island!

Private Kona Coast Helicopter Tour: All Window Seats

X3792WXronw, Jul 2026

The perfect helicopter tour for the perfect duration and the perfect price.

What outstanding experience my wife and I enjoyed with Kona Coast private helicopter tours this afternoon.Our pilot, Sam, was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We really enjoyed the time spent with him. We felt very safe and comfortable with him at the controls.What we enjoyed most about our experience was how simple it was to make the reservation, how easy it was to find their office at the airport, and how fun it was to go for a 30 minute helicopter to along the Kona coastline.In addition, this is one of the most affordable helicopter tours we could find. They use a smaller Robinson helicopter that holds the pilot in three people so it’s just you and your significant other. You don’t have to worry about sharing the trip with strangers.In addition, I am 250 pounds and many of the other helicopter tours have a cut off at that weight limit and require you to purchase a second “comfort” seat. This company sets their limited 275 pounds which made it a no-brainer for us.So if you want to go see majestic volcanoes and breathtaking waterfalls at a price that will set you back significantly, this is not the outfit to choose.However, if you just wanna go on an enjoyable helicopter ride and look at the breathtaking coastline of this part of the big end of Hawaii and affordable price than this is the company you want to choose.30 minutes was just right, the price was just right, the scenery was memorable and breathtaking, and we felt very safe and secure every second we were on board this aircraft.

ATV paired with a tasting

We had a wonderful coffee tasting experience! It was educational, engaging, and entertaining from beginning to end. We learned so much about the growing, harvesting, roasting, and brewing process, and the tasting was both informative and enjoyable. The ATV ride was a great addition and made the experience even more fun. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure!

Breath taking Vistas of the Kona Coastline, Valleys and Cliffs

Our family of four had our first helicopter sight seeing tour with them. The pilot was an expert and made the ride as smooth and easy as possible. We had breathtaking views of cliff, valleys, coastline and tall waterfalls which are not accessible by road. It was a really memorable experience. We will be back for more.
