Big Island Historical Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay

Jessica_M, Sep 2026

Awesome

The cruise was awesome! The food was delicious, the staff was wonderful, and the entertainment was great. We honestly weren’t expecting the food to be as good as it was, but we were pleasantly surprised! A few tips if you’re planning to go: If you want to sit on the lower level where there’s a larger eating area, arrive very early because those seats fill up quickly. We sat on the top level, which was also very nice, but we weren’t able to see the performer. We could hear him perfectly, though, and he was great! The boat ride itself was good. Unfortunately, the lady sitting next to me got seasick and started throwing up while we were eating dinner. It definitely wasn’t pleasant, but it was no fault of her own. They took her to the lower level, where hopefully she felt better. The drinks were good, the food was really delicious, and overall we had a wonderful time! Definitely glad we did it! 🚢🌴

Movie Tour

It's a great tour to see the inland. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice, so was the driver. Lots of getting off and on the bus to see the beauty of the area. Showed clips of movies and tv shows, which helped put the picture with the area. I would do it again.

Private PH History tour with former Submariner/ Historian

carriecT9389MH, Aug 2026

Amazing

This was, hands down, one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. My husband and I did a private Pearl Harbor tour with Lui, and it exceeded every expectation. Lui wasn’t just knowledgeable — he was a walking encyclopedia, and his passion for Pearl Harbor and the island of Oahu was contagious. We learned so much history we had no idea about, and he brought it all to life in a way no book or documentary ever could.What made this tour truly special is that Lui is a submarine veteran himself. His personal insight and perspective gave the whole experience a depth and authenticity you simply can’t get otherwise. On top of that, he was warm, kind, and seemed to know everyone on the island — it felt like touring with a friend rather than a guide.We cannot recommend this tour enough. If you book a Pearl Harbor tour, do yourself a favor and request Lui specifically. You will not be disappointed!

Deluxe Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Aboard a Luxury Catamaran from Kailua-Kona

Jon_P, Aug 2026

A must do! Top notch!

This was one the best highlights of our trip!!! Spot on!!! The crew and captian were amazing. Everything was handled with care and pride. The food was great the location was one of my favorites. As an example of the service, my daughter loves pineapple juice and mentioned it to one of the crew ( it kinda a running joke with my kid, she has done this on past trips and now its how she judges a place lol). Her cup was never less than 1/2 full, They crew would see her and ask if she needed more. Again just top notch service!! They had all the snorkling gear you could need or want. Toys and slides for the kids. Everything was taken care of. We even saw some dolphins and the captin stopped the boat so people could watch and take pictures. Just a perfect day. Nothing could have been done better. 1000% recommend!

First timers- definitely would go again!!!

We had an amazing experience. The staff were friendly and professional and the experience felt very well coordinated. They provided breakfast pastries, lunch and drinks throughout the entire excursion and made sure our drinks were always topped off. It was safe with a fully trained staff of lifeguards which was nice having my kiddo with us, snorkeling felt very safe and supervised. 10/10 would definitely go again

Unexpected Private Tour

While we were disappointed that Kilauea was not fountaining, our guide, Jill, was very knowledgeable about the previous eruptions and lava flows in the park as well as the flora and fauna. My husband and I were the only guests as the other group who had reservations cancelled at the last minute but this company didn’t cancel on us. So we basically had a private tour!
