There is not much space, this is not a luxury cruise boat. We leave the harbor, searching up and down the coast looking for pods of dolphins.

Pilot Whales we have all year round but only seen a few times a month. The time duration of this tour is not exact ( 2- 4 hours ), the tour can be shorter or longer than 3 hours due to how far the Dolphins are from the harbor, how long you snorkel, weather, ocean conditions Our experience does not include chasing, harassing, swimming after, feeding or having direct contact with dolphins for example such as dropping guest directly on the pod of dolphins.

- We board a our boat (The Outrider) exploring the coast and snorkeling the coral reefs searching for all of the best marine life Hawaii has to offer—turtles, tropical fish, dolphins, octopus, rays, eels, and even reef sharks. Every trip is unique, as we will see different marine life each time and visit a different area each time. No two trips are the same! The area we explore is usually remote and far from all the crowds, allowing for a more private experience. Other things to note - Can't take people with bad backs, older people who are frail, pregnant women, or children under 5 -Must be under 240 lbs due to ladder -Tour will cancel if poor ocean conditions are presentFrom Price:$148/person
- All experiences are led by James, an Analog-Astronaut and Pro Astro-Photographer. Journey to a remote stargazing location, far away from the touristy spots to truly enjoy the dark skies of Hawaii. Celestial objects and constellations will be pointed out with a powerful green laser pointer. Hear about James' time spent as an Analog-Astronaut, ancient Polynesian navigation and more. View live details of deep space using the most sophisticated, light-sensitive camera/scope out of any company in Hawaii. Awe-inspiring views of deep space objects like Galaxies and Nebulas that you didn't know was possible. Being a Pro Astro-Photographer on the Big Island, spending 8 years as a guide, James knows the best spots and angles to take a few stellar photos of you with the Milky Way. All medium resolution photos taken throughout the trip of deep space objects and of your group are included in the price. Photo upgrades are available **This is the only stargazing adventure in Hawaii that doesn't do stargazing tours when the moon is brighter than 20%. When the moon is brighter than that, the night sky is too bright and the stars are too few to properly enjoy stargazing. All time slots are hand-selected for optimal stargazing views.From Price:$372/person
- You will participate in a Ho'oponopono Bowl of Light sunset ceremony. Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of setting things right. Ho'o = to make. Pono = good/right. We will prepare for the ceremony with an opening chant to bless the land and deepen our connection to it. Then I will teach you how to make your own sacred ki leaf lei for your wrist or ankle. I will share cultural insights and practices as we prepare for the Bowl of Light Ceremony by learning the 4 powerful healing statements of Ho'oponopono. I will also teach you a sacred Aloha chant. At sunset, you will be ready for your personal Bowl of Light Ceremony! You can practice this any time or at any sunset for the rest of your life. Your bowl and lei will be your reminders to live in the peace of this practice. Your ki leaf lei will dry as a keepsake. You may also choose to make another lei to give as a sacred offering when you leave the island. I look forward to celebrating this special ceremony with you on your Hawaiian holiday. Other things to note We will be on grass and sand, and perhaps walk out to tide pools on rocky shore at sunset. You may also walk into water if you like. So you may want swim suit and/or warm comfortable clothes.From Price:$55/person
- Every parrot has a story. You’ll learn all about our rainbow-colored rescues in Kona’s only parrot sanctuary. We’ll start with our mission: to give every displaced parrot a nutritious diet, large space to fly, and a safe place to interact with other parrots (and people). Next, we'll take a walk around the sanctuary, where you can get to know the range of personalities of cockatoos, lovebirds, macaws, and more species. Throughout the tour, you will have many photo opportunities, especially with our well-trained parrots. Other things to note Wear casual clothes, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, and a hat, and bring a camera. Parrots in Paradise Sanctuary is also home to three rescue dogs and a tortoise.From Price:$63/person
