Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The Best tour to join
    This tour has been one of the BEST in my experience. Our guide, Kurt Bell, is exceptional in all ways. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Never a sense of rush and we are all ahead or on time for every site visited. Kurt deserves many many thumb ups! I can say for everyone in our group that we had a Great time. Thank you again to Kurt and Wasabi! By the way, Great MB vans, super comfy!

    Just do it!
    My wife and I, with our 3 young-adult children took a chance on this guided tour. We usually explore on our own, so we felt like this was a bit of a risk to our style. Let me tell you that these folks organized a wonderful excursion, and our guide Addison ( I hope I spelled your name right) was exceptional. We didn't feel like tourists, we felt like guests. Addison was a great story teller and shared vast information throughout the excursion. Overall a truly awesome experience. Don't hesitate....just book.

    Book it!!!
    We had an absolute blast! Simon, Aidan, and Kiwami were amazing and made the experience so much fun. Aidan was super sweet and made conversation, helped my son jump off the boat & was so nice. Simon was awesome, played great music & it was a lot of fun watching him do all of his crazy jumps off of the boat. So thankful we took this boat tour and i would 100% recommend. They provided lunch, snacks and drinks too. So much fun.

    Review of: Big Island Zipline Over KoleKole Falls
    Great time!
    Big Island Zipline was a great adventure. The staff was amazing. They were knowledgeable about the surrounding landscape and plants. They were also funny and joking with all the guests. I felt very safe during the zip lining and they made sure to check all the equipment. The area was beautiful. Going over the falls was very special. Next to the shop is a cute deli that you can grab lunch after you are done. I definitely recommend.

    Review of: Deluxe Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Aboard a Luxury Catamaran from Kailua-Kona
    Outstanding customer service!
    The snorkeling experience was great. The light breakfast and burgers for lunch were great. However, what really impressed us were the crew members who couldn't do enough for you. There's something else that allowed me to relax and enjoy this excursion and that was the priority they placed on safety. The majority of, if not all, the crew were life guards. While anchored, they were strategically placed on the boat and on their boards in the water amongst all of us. Would I recommend to others? Yes. Would I go again? Yes.

    Review of: Big Island, Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel- Small Group
    AMAZING SEA LIFE!!
    The manta rays were amazing and being so close to them. This is a must do if you travel to the big island. Budda truly is the manta ray whisperer. We had at least 7 manta rays swimming with us and with their shear size, they took up the entire space below us. They are such peaceful creatures and it was peaceful watching them other than my wife just giggling all the time. LOL. One of the best experiences my wife and I have had in our travels.

    Review of: Night Manta Ray Adventure on the Big Island, Hawaii
    Great experience. Saw manta rays as expected.
    Experienced crew members. The boat is clean and nice to have warm water to rinse our bodies after coming back to the water.

    Crew members are very polite and professional. Captain is very funny and gave very detailed instructions.

    Manta Ray Night Snorkel
    Fun, enjoyable experience! Seth took very good care of us - setting up our crew on the board, helping us secure the noodles by our ankles, and being informative about the mantas. We were very fortunate to see a large of amount of mantas that evening! It was surreal seeing them barrel roll so close to us! This experience was very memorable!

    Review of: Historical Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay
    Have you ever seen the rain?
    This was such a fun time. Unfortunately, our scheduled cruise time happened to coincide with a rain storm that followed us up and down the coast but the captain and her crew did such a great job, keeping guests engaged and interacting with us that it really didn't ruin anything. Plus, they told us rain in Hawaii is good luck. And who doesn't love a plate of tasty BBQ ribs (rain soaked ribs are still ribs :) ). By the end of the cruise, the rain had passed and we saw the most incredible sunset over the ocean which made it all worth it. Would definitely go again - just might check the radar before booking next time.

    Review of: Molokai and Maui Helicopter Tour
    One word - Brilliant
    What a brilliant trip from start to finish, a big tick off the bucket list.
    Arron was our pilot he was thoroughly professional in his preparation for the flight and the safety briefing.
    His guided commentary during the trip was brilliant along with some of his anecdotes.
    We were sat in two of the three back seats, don't worry you can see just fine from there you don't miss a thing, Arron made sure of that as he would swivel the chopper around to give both sides the chance to view points of interest (and there was plenty).
    We got some excellent photos from the trip and one with Arron as well to remind us of a great trip in years to come.
    We thoroughly recommend this trip and Maverick helicopters

    Review of: Best Mauna Kea Summit Tour (Free sunset and star photo!)
    Awesome experience with Wes
    Wes was a great tour guide. Whatever the company is paying him is not enough. Overall great experience, unable to see the milkyway due to the fullmoon, but it was neat to be on the observatory and to hear Wes talk about the history and culture of the Hawaiians and local problems. Im much a history person and I really appreciated the honest and harsh truth of what is going on. Wes was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Hiro was also there with another group and was great as well, overall 10/10 would do it again.

    Big Island Circle Tour
    We booked this trip the day after we landed in Hawaii. I consider ourselves lucky because they were booked out about a week and a half and we had a party of 6. Trip advisor said that there was no availability for that many people so we tried through the actual website and we got the last 6 spots for a Saturday tour.
    It was amazing and our tour guide Zachary was exceptional. He knew his stuff. No matter what questions were thrown at him he had the answered. Very knowledgeable about the island, plants, trees, geography, volcanoes, everything. Very personable as well and funny. The guy even sat in the sand with my 10 year old to explain how some of the volcanic hills were formed on the island. He always kept us on schedule so we had enough time for an extra stop or 2. No shortage of food, snacks, drinks or anything like that. Can’t say enough good things about the tour.

    Review of: Big Island Zipline Adventure - 2 1/2 hours
    Don’t hesitate to Zipline here!
    I took the wife and three kids (12, 11 and 7 years of age) to Zipline here and it was a fantastic experience. Our guides, Kanani and Joey, were so fun and relaxed, and helped ease my 7 year olds fears throughout the experience. They also educated us along the tour about the ecosystem and flora in the area. This was one of the only zip lines that allowed smaller children (<70 lbs) to ride as tandem, so it enabled our entire family to experience the fun despite. The last Zipline over the waterfall was the best cherry on top!

    Review of: Kona's Deluxe Snorkel - Beat the Crowds to Captain Cook and Place of Refuge
    Best snorkel experience ever!
    This may have been the best snorkel experience ever! Calm water, clear water with good visibility down to 40 ft, and a great variety of sealife. On the way back we floated with a dolphin pod for a while for close-up views as well. The staff were lighthearted, friendly and helpful. Leaving earlier in the morning allowed us to have the best bay conditions, and we beat the crowds of the bigger boats coming out later.
