Shout out to Crystal and Dandy our tour guides for a day long Volcano Adventure tour we had a week back. Tour was moved up by a day as they did not have enough people. We were little disappointed as we had to make some changes to our plans initially but at the end of the day we had great time. Both Crystal and Dandy were very personable and knowledgeable. They welcomed questions and had some great stories for our 6 year old. Thanks guys for a great experience.

Had a blast on the ATV and zip line! I will say for outfit I would recommend closed toe sandals, swimsuit or swimming shorts and a swimming top. Trust me! You will be covered in mud - trust me! Head to toe but the best part is at the end you go into a waterfall to wash off and it’s incredible! Worth every dime and do not forget to tip the staff! They work their butts off! Loved it and recommend doing this tour! Also Tiffany rocked on zip line, Kyle killed it on the grill and Zack pushed it to a whole new level on the ATVs!

Wanted to give a shout-out to our tour guide Don! He was very knowledgeable about the land, the volcanoes and the people of Hawaii. He really seemed to care about his job and that made our trip much more fun. He took us to one of his favorite lookout spots after the trip, and even went above and beyond and dropped us off near a car we were picking up so we didn’t have to pay for a Lyft. Our trip was very good would recommend.

My family and I took the 12 hour around the big island tour. I recommend this trip to see the island in a day. Our tour guide TODD was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered questions.Our lunch was great and at a perfect spot on black beach picnic area.Views were breathtaking. We did a lot of stops and not only seen everything on the list but had time for a few extras.I’d highly recommend this tour!

Very disappointing! We called the day of our scheduled tour to confirm the time of our pick-up and were told that they cancelled the tour for that day. Thank goodness we called, otherwise we would have been waiting for a pick-up for the tour that would have never come.Being in the tourism industry and working regularly with Trip Advisor they should have cancelled our reservation with Trip Advisor, who then would have issued us a complete refund. They did not do that, so instead, we had to spend an hour on the phone with Trip Advisor trying to get our money back. A horrible experience all around.

Kyle our driver was very personable along with his partner Jess. They welcomed questions or if no one asked they shared their knowledge of the islands. Our actual zip line guides were very safety conscious and funny which helped with calming any nerves. Would totally recommend this tour.

My daughter and I had such a great time, the tour guides were amazing and the rain gave us a great chance to get muddy and slide around in the Polaris. The waterfall was wonderful too. I would suggest wearing dark coloured clothes and wet weather footwear though 🤣

Thank you Crystal! We went on the stargazing tour & had a really good time. Crystal picked us up from the condo complex we were staying at Keahou-Kona at 3:40pm. We were a group of 6 adults & 2 kids in a van, and everyone followed covid protocols. We had dinner on the way, and got to look at the sun through a telescope, before we made our way to Saddle Road where we got to spend our night looking at plenty of stars & planets with a huge telescope. Crystal showed us several constellations & nebulas with her laser, and got us some hot cocoa when it got cold & windy. She was super friendly & shared lots of stories about Hawaii, its history & geography, and also about astronomy. They provide jackets, but I would recommend wearing thick pants. A fun night was had, Mahalo!

Had the best time with my girlfriends thanks to the amazing team members! We opted for a day tour where we saw many beautiful sights with our knowledgeable tour guide. PJ and our zip line guides Tiff & Dishman filled our day with humour and made the experience so much better! Photo ops on the zip line were a plus to capture memories. Ended our day with a trip to Volcano Winery where we had wine tasting & a delicious dinner.

We did the Lava Expedition - which was a great all day excursion. The driver, Makana, was excellent, he really made us feel like his extended family and gave us lots of cultural insight on the island and its history throughout the day. We started by driving towards the park, stopping along the way to see where the lava had stopped just short of destroying one of the towns. The hike to the ocean entry was flat, and easy - most of it is on a paved path. The lava entry into the ocean is definitely something to see, though we did not see any actual lava on the hike (the steam covered it up while we were there) - this seems to be down to the time you go. I was expecting this to be a bit more of a trek, though the one unique perk of the hike is the company has a permit to park a lot closer than you could normally (cutting off about 4 miles round trip), though you can rent a bike or pay for a ride halfway.After the park, and a picnic lunch watching the lava pour into the ocean. we visited lava tree state park, before heading to wine tasting and dinner at the Volcano Winery, which was exclusive to this company. The wine was unique and the BBQ dinner was really good. After dinner, we saw the steam vents, and the Thurston Lava Tube, which was really neat to visit at night.From the lava tube we ended the night seeing the glow at the crater - the lava bubbling and pooling into the lava lake, its crowded there, but definitely a must see while on the big island.All in all, there wasnt anything on the excursion (aside from BBQ at the Volcano Winery) that we couldnt have done on our own. The benefit of the tour (aside from the parking at the hike to the lava entry into the ocean) is simply down to the excellent guides the company explores, their own insight and cultural knowledge, and the chance to see something along the way that you might have not thought to check out on your own. If any of these things are on your list of things to visit while on the Big Island, this is a great way to see them all in one day. The tour company does an amazing job, providing water, Patagonia jackets at night - and really everything you would need.

My wife and I booked a tour of Volcano National Park with KapohoKine Adventures and we loved every minute. They thought of every detail to make this experience special including bringing water and coats in case you didn’t have your own. Our tour through the park as well as a local black sand beach was fantastic and culminated with a dinner and wine tasting on the Big Island’s only winery. Best of all, our tour guide was Spencer was a wealth of information and shared with us the history, folklore and knowledge of Big Island at every stop on the tour, something we would never have experienced had we visited these places on our own. If you’re lucky enough to get him on your tour, make sure to ask him about his spear fishing expeditions!Thank you to KapohoKine and Spencer for an amazing experience!

Went with a group of friends for a fun ATV ride into he morning. Eddie and Jay, Ben ws our van driver, were our guides and we had a great time. They had us moving safely through the trails and nice swim at a water fall. If in Kona or Hilo this is a must do, they also have ziplines and other adventures.

So much fun! We went Ziplining and were lucky to have Alex be our driver. He shows you sights along the way to your Zip adventure and tells you what kinds of trees and animals are along the route. Then we were even luckier to have The A Team (Ashley and Alison) be our guides. The ladies made the experience so much fun, talked about your surroundings, pointed out hidden views so you didnt miss out, and made the experience unforgettable.The A Team kicks Chuck Norris Ass!

We took the Maunakea Stellar Explorer tour (2:45-10:30pm) and it was amazing.It was all done by one tour guide who knew a ton and was super friendly and genuine. I usually expect schooled guides that talk like theyve given the same tour dozens of times – monoton, uninterested. This was the complete opposite and more than I ever hoped for!The walk through a huge coffee farm, views of the Pacific, home-grilled BBQ dinner with sunset views and star gazing in the cold night with hot chocolate, learning about astronomy – it felt like an evening with a group of friends, more than being on a tour.I highly recommend this tour, thank you!

This zip lining adventure was amazing. If you are hesitant fear not this one is for you. I’m scared of heights but I conquered it. The first two were slightly intimidating but the other 5 came easy and those are the ones over forest. The zip line guides were incredible from start to finish. If I could change anything about my visit to Hawaii it would be that we do this first.They gave us tons of informative information about the island as well as places to visit which would have been handy except we went on our last day.Our driver Maddie was great she was a very cheerful person although we were a bit quiet. Thankfully she had my mom up front to talk to. She gave us some good Hilo information and places to visit and eat. Even the lady that was checking us in was great. She is definitely the face you want to see before you do something you are fearful of.The fear was something we had to overcome quickly and we were a family of many different fear and age levels. My mom was deathly afraid and she conquered it with the continued support and encouragement from all the guides. My little sister (10) was a beast and she took off with no problem. For the little (in size) kids they give a little extra push if needed or also (if needed) they ride tandem with them.Shout out time! I’m starting with McKenna because she rescued me in the middle of the zipline thank you, you are a beast. kendall, you could really tell you loved this job, little did you know the small things help and you just leaning back on your ropes helped create a sense of trust in me in my ropes. Forest, wasn’t even part of our group but he was still a huge help in moving it forward for us as he helped move clips over while we waited for our guys. Also, he always had so many facts to share. My brother and sister were first in our tour group and my brother told us later, “ you guys didn’t get to know Forest like I did, Forest is great”. Finally, Alex you were absolutely amazing. There were times I felt like I was in a history class but it was ok because he helped pass the time and you could see a genuine joy in sharing the information. Also most importantly he helped my mom feel like she could do it and made sure he was always available when she came in to brake because she was scared and was worried no one else would be able to get her up. This zip lining adventure was amazing. If you are hesitant fear not this one is for you. I’m scared of heights but I conquered it. The first two were slightly intimidating but the other 5 came easy and those are the ones over forest. The zip line guides were incredible from start to finish. If I could change anything about my visit to Hawaii it would be that we do this first.In short, thank you. This is definitely worth the price and some. My family will remember this adventure forever.

This was an amazing experience, not just because you are zip lining through Hawaii but because the staff really adds to the experience. Jess, Josh, Ike, and Nathan were great! My parent purchased this trip for my sister, son and I since they have gone multiple times and taken their friends. We had requested Destiny because my mother, sister and daughter have zipped with her before and she is amazing but she had gone with the group prior to ours. I was impressed at how every one of them called us by name which really made it personal. They took the time to explain everything and point out which directions we should look and how to rotate ourselves to get the best angle. They were extremely methodical in hooking each of us up time and time again which made it evident safety was their highest priority. It was obvious they enjoyed their jobs although I dont see how you couldnt, spending your day zipping around over that beautiful terrain. The waterfalls are incredible and when you stop for a short break you have an amazing view of one of them as you eat local fruit and nuts. Jess did a great job explaining while Ike gave us a comical demonstration and I think Josh had some great moves which the Go Pro captured. Nathan gave us an awesome tour on our way up to their facility, sharing information and history about the area. When it was over I wanted to go back up and do it all over again. I would highly recommend Kapohokine Adventures to anyone looking for an exciting and unique adventure on the Big Island.

This adventure was well worth the cost. Jess picked us up from the meeting point we set and took us to the office where we filled out paperwork and the headed to the zipline. She was extremely personable and knowledgeable. She kept the drive entertaining.At the zipline Joey and Ono made 8 zip adventure outstanding. We zipped by several waterfalls, and it is the only time that we have ever gotten to zip side by side. On the last zip they even let us hold hands to start the zip. The last zip is 1/2 mile long reaching speeds of 55mph.Next we were taken to the airport for our helicopter tour. Unfortunately due to wind conditions it was cancelled until the next day. Our guide, Henry, for the remainder of the day picked us up knowing we would be upset. He went out of his way to fill in the extra time and give us a great experience. He asked us what we had seen and not seen, and went from there. We checked out some caves, and the new look of the crater, post eruption. Simply amazing.Next Henry took us to our wine tasting and dinner which was great. After dinner we checked out the steam vents, and then watched the stars. The amount of stars you can see from the park is amazin and beautiful. He then got us back to our car.The next day we took our helicopter tour over the new lava fields, old lava fields, and waterfalls. The guide was super knowledgeable and made to tour great. In all fantastic time on this adventure.

My Wife and I went on the ATV Razer Tour where we were able to drive the vehicle for over 3 hours!This is a MUST do adventure for the Big Island of Hawaii. After you get all muddy, you get to swim in a private waterfall!!!! So much fun!!!Imi King, John, Mana (the fruit loop crew) did a great job taking care of us throughout the track. They explained it well for us newbies so we were safe and had a tone of fun. We got fresh macadamia nuts off the tree half way through.Jordyn did a great job getting us ready for the one of the must do adventures of the big island. She picked us up and brought us back happy!

Directions from our resort from the concierge needed some fixing, but once we plugged in to Google Maps we found the meeting spot. Courtney got us to the start of the zip in 1 piece, despite the very bumpy road to it & Jesse & Ona got us rigged up and eased us into our first zip. By the time we were into the 2nd or 3rd leg of the 8 ziplines we were having fun & much more relaxed. This was our first zip experience & my daughter had been afraid of the heights, but she had a great time & wasnt worried about it any longer. We had a great time!

This was an awesome experience!! Joey was our driver and he gave a great tour on the ride up about the history and location of things on the island. Tiffany greeted us on the first platform. EK and David were on the second platform and were happy to see us!! They did their best to remember our names and succeeded! I was personally able to banter with EK which was fun (Im glad you dont have any lame people working for you). Our tour was legit and all of our guides were spectacular!!! Thank you!! P.S. the only thing that was less than cool was the smoothness of the ride up and down. On the ride back, we were bouncing so much that I got a headache from hitting my head on the ceiling so much. #tallpeopleproblems

We did the volcanoes national park tour with volcano winery dinner. Really exceptional sights from rainforests to hardened lava cliffs to active volcano steam vents and glowing lava. Most of the sights are accessible for a $20 pass into the park but with our tour guide Ashley we got the best information and history. Shes a local who truly knows almost everything about the islands. She really made the experience one of the best. The dinner and wine tasting was also very good. Volcano Winery has some excellent wines. Ashley also had snacks, water, jackets, etc for the ride and picked us up on the way instead of having us drive out of our way. Excellent service and great company!

We booked two tours; Mauna kea Stellar and Evening volcano explorer. Both were amazing and had an awesome experience with these guys! The guides were very professional and informative. One of the guides (Crystal) was a professional astronomer and knew everything about the sky and the stars.The only down thing was, we didnt go to the summit of Mauna Kea which we are expecting and looking forward for a long period. I wish they had made this clear somehow in the description of the tour.

We did the Mauna Kea Stellar Explorer from Kona. You could only be so lucky to get Todd as your Guide (but hes really a Master of Everything!) when you go. He really brings the heart to the tour. He has so much knowledge of Hawaiis history and culture. He shows great reverence towards the Japanese culture as well. Our tour at Mauka Meadows was delightful. Their property is wonderfully designed and picturesque. Todd prepared our dinner there and the BBQ pork was fantastic!!! After our meal we went to a viewing spot on Daniel K Inouye Hwy (Saddle Road) and it was pure splendor!!! The Milky Way glistened across the sky, and in that moment I fell in love with the stars. Dont pull out a star Gazing app, it will spoil everything. Let Todd (or your Guide) set up the telescope and present the sky to you. You will learn about the stories behind the stars and if you are lucky enough, you will get to see even more extraordinary objects!!! This tour is one you do not want to miss!!! (Photos are from Mauka Meadows)

I would like to take this opportunity to give Roxy high praise. It appears that your tour guides also fill the roles of driver, cook, nursemaid, educator, and probably many other things. That is a tremendous task for any employee. And to to find an employee that fills this bill is a rare thing indeed.I have worked in the Human Resources field for over twenty years, the past fifteen at the executive level. I am constantly tasked to explain to management the difference between doing your job absolutely perfectly and going above and beyond to make your customers’ experiences unforgettable. Your company has found this gem in Roxy.After a confusion between my concierge and the person who prepares directions to your pickup points, I was a little frazzled. Even though this cost us a little time before starting our tour, Roxy spent the time to track me down, communicating with me fully via phone and text, all while keeping a bright attitude. The rest of the day was incredible, thanks to Roxy. She seamlessly encouraged our group to interact with and enjoy each other; and we did! She also appeared to make up the lost time but we most certainly never felt rushed.As someone who has spent many years looking for that intangible factor that makes a good employee into a great employee, I found that quality in Roxy. I don’t know Roxy’s plans for her future, but I do know this: She will be a success in whatever field she chooses. If you are lucky, she will choose your company.Best,Angie Mounce

Review №45

I cannot recommend the Kapohokine Star Tour highly enough! We chose this tour because we appreciated that it did not go to the Mauna Kea summit, both out of cultural respect and because it allowed our children to join us. You should note that this is the only star tour on the island that will allow children under 13. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Hilo and worth the travel for it alone. Our guide, Rich, was incredibly knowledgeable about the island, astronomy, folklore, and history. He picked up on each persons interest and had interesting things to say to everyone, from information about local animals for our 8 year old to history for our high schooler and astronomy facts for the adults. He even gave us ideas for what to do for the rest of our trip. I also appreciated how seriously they took COVID precautions, including individual hand sanitizers and water bottles and separate sanitized flashlights etc.

Roxy was a fantastic guide! As a native of the Big Island, she possesses an invaluable knowledge of Island and shared so much insider info/ anecdotes that not many others would be able to provide. She is so positive and her love of the island is contagious making the tour experience even more enjoyable. This was a perfect way to see the entire island of Hawaii while enjoying our honeymoon. We highly recommend the circle island tour for those wishing to get a full taste of the big island in one day!

Did the 8 line zip with Greg, Brandon and Jessie. Would definitely recommend this place for the whole family. Our driver, Courtney, was very friendly and informative. Drive up there is a little rough, but definitely worth it.Zips are beautiful and the waterfalls are crazy! Greg was great and was very helpful and patient with the younger ones. Zips are nice and long, and pretty fast. The peacocks strutting around the property give it an exotic feel. Would totally come again.

This was a great trip! Kent shared Hawaiian legend, history, flora, fauna, interesting facts, music, and a few”Dad jokes” during our adventure! He helped the group bond to make the experience even more memorable. I was glad we visited the volcano area on a guided tour. It was amazing to see the changes in the landscape brought about by the 2018 activity and walk into this volcano to see and feel the steam vents in real time. I know we would have missed some of the special spots and overlooked the significance of what was happening around us if we had ventured on our own. Other sights/stops along the way helped us gain a fuller Big Island experience during our stay. The Volcano Winery was a great bonus. A delicious dinner followed up our wine tasting. The best winery tour I’ve experienced- vineyard and the vat room!

On our recent visit to the island, we researched a couple of zipline places and chose KapohoKine due to having dual lines & waterfalls. What surprised us the most was the breathtaking views and the amazing staff, from Melissa (aka Wonder Woman) to Emily, Leigh & Kalani...these girls rock and made our experience so much fun! They also have the most up to date and advanced equipment so we felt safe the entire time.We came during Halloween but I think Melissas costume is her actual work attire...LOL.

The views were beautiful, especially with the waterfalls. I felt very safe and would do it again. Got a mini tour of Hilo on the way. Our driver was really informative as well.

As a local tour guide at Kapohokine Adventures, we have the chance to meet some awesome visitors when they come to our island. Today, I had an awesome group from the ship. 2 newlyweds had made custom shirts to wear on our ATV tour. They had a blast!

Wonderful experience! Entire team was professional, very safety conscious, and personable. Worked hard to make sure that we had a world class zipping experience! And, the scenery along the way down was spectacular!!

Did the zipline through paradise with my husband and the view was gorgeous! The instructors were extremely energetic and created a fun environment. The instructors were all informed about the surroundings as well as making sure we had fun and were safe while doing so . Would recommend this to anybody interested in ziplining. This zipline gave a wide range of lines from short to long. This is great for first timers and experienced zipliners.

My cousin and I treated ourselves for our birthdays and had a blast!! Originally wanted to do the zip line but last minute decided to do the ATV tour and we do not regret our decision one bit! Thankful for the rain last night making it possible for us to get muddy today. Thank you Zack and Casey for making our birthday a memorable one. I wouldn’t just recommend this tour... I’m looking forward to coming again but this time I’m driving!!! Lol

Lots of fun today! Ken, Sir Gregory (the European Leg Model) and Campbell were great. Ken lead us on some trails that were not too muddy or difficult to navigate while Sir Gregory followed the last quad in a mule to make sure no one got lost. (I wonder if Sir Gregory drove the mule to protect his blossoming leg modeling career? Although I think the mud from the trails would be good for the skin.?) Anyway I would do this tour again. We stopped to see a waterfall and enjoy some fruit and water and then another stop to swim in a different waterfall that shall be called nameless. My only complaint is the ride up to place is super bumpy. Its worth it though. The zipline looks awesome too. We didnt do it but would next time. Thanks KapohoKine Adventures!

We did the ATV tour and Zach was our tour guide. He was friendly and helpful and so polite. Would recommend this to everyone that wants to ride or drive in a Polaris Razor, and get a little mud on your self. The views were awesome and the water fall you could swim up to was great.

Kapokohine adventures gave me the opportunity to have a quick view of the whole island. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, kind, and funny. He even took us to the famous bakery in town and to an extra candy store. The only thing I did not like, and it has to be with how the tour is organized and not with the tour guide, is that we spent almost 80%of the time on this tour in the van 😓 we kind of rushed through places, being there from 15 to 20 minutes max- I mean- being at the National Park for like 30 minutes is almost like you were not there. Minimal opportunity to explore or truly enjoy the few sites we actually stopped at. However, like I said, this has to do with the tour itself, as there is no way you can explore the whole island in 12 hrs under different conditions.Overall, a good experience, but if you truly want to take your time on the different sections of the island, I wouldnt recommend.

Took the stargazing tour with Jon. It was fun, interesting and amazing. Ive never seen such a clear and crowded night sky, and Jon seemed to know something about every star and object up there. If you have any interest in astronomy this is a must do.

The guides were great, Kyle, Greg, Brandon, and Alex. When I had an extended view on line 7 it was Greg that came to the rescue. Line 7 and 8 were the best. Thanks guys. Had an amazing Christmas morning zipping with yall.

I did the zip line tour this morning at 11am. Everyone was so friendly and fun....but safety was the number one priority. The guides were amazing with a special shout out to Destiny!!! And our precious shuttle driver never ran out of jokes. Thank you so much for such a fun day.

Zipline to paradise is awesome! Our guides were Paulina, Kendall and Brandon. They did really great job. Super friendly and professional! It was raining but the experience was amazing. They provide jackets and even got me a waterproof bag so my stuff kept dry. Henry was our driver and told history stories of Hawaii, which I think is amazing and interesting too.

Would definitely recommend. We did the ziplines, which were extremely fun. They have great views including many waterfalls. Our guides, Brandon, Jessie, and Greg were helpful and attentive to safety. Our driver, Courtney, was informative and kind. While the ride up is quite bumpy, it is definitely worth it!

Had so much fun !!!!! Took the whole family and everyone was able to enjoy the experience. The waterfall and views were amazing. Our guides Greg and Melissa definitely made us first time ATV riders feel comfortable by showing us everything we needed to know. Emily who drove us to the ATV grounds was definitely welcoming and even gave us advice on where to eat. Overall best experience ever, we will be coming back.

Awesome experience; the time went way too fast! The guides are experienced and friendly, and let you HAVE FUN on the trail! I was afraid the ride might be 15 mph, head-to-tail poking along, but fortunately I was wrong!I have a quad ATV and dirt bike at home, so I have experience, and I had a great time.The only bummer was having to wait when other people got stuck, but not much the guides can do about that. If you have any choice of who goes with you, choose carefully!

We toured the Hawaiian Island Odyssey with Alana yesterday. The itinerary included the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and several other sites and included lunch and a great Hawaiian style BBQ dinner. The highpoint of the tour was our guide Alana. Her knowledge of the itinerary was incredible and her driving skills and patience remarkable. Personable and thoughtful and provided answers to questions on an off the itinerary. Will ask for her next we visit.

My family and I just finished the zip line tour. Kent was our driver, Leigh and Kendall were our zip line instructors. All of the staff are absolutely amazing! The instructors are very friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and hilariously funny! It was my first time zip lining and I had an absolute blast! Theres 8 platforms and half way through they have lunch either a sandwich or salad along with refreshing beverages and chips. You can tell the instructors love theyre job and they are all very personable. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone whos interested in zip lining, they also have ATV for you to ride.

Had a ton of fun! A must do in the rain if you want to get muddy! Eddy and Jordan were amazing guides, very knowledgeable about the land and plants, very funny. They were also kind enough to take photos for each of the riders at scenic stops. Easy to learn if you are a beginner. 😁

Kendal and Leigh were awesome! They were very knowledgeable and friendly’. Every one at the establishment was inviting and not only guided us but taught us a lot of good information about the island.

Fantastic trip around the island and to the Waipio valley! Everything was so beautiful and really got to see the Big Island as a whole with amazing information about the landscape, volcanoes, vegetation, history, and so so much more. Our tour guide Lisa was super cool and kept conversation flowing and interesting the whole time. Props to her for being so knowledgeable about this Island!Would definitely recommend!

We did the zipline through paradise. The guides and driver were all very friendly and able to interact naturally even with small children. We lucked out with great weather. The woman checking everyone in was also very friendly and had a way with kids. Family friendly, generally friendly and lots of fun!
