We’ve had the chance to snorkel with manta rays on the Big Island multiple times, and Sea Quest is a company we’ve chosen to book with more than once. Manta rays regularly gather just offshore at night to feed on plankton, creating a rare opportunity to swim alongside these gentle gi

If you’re trying to choose a waterfall tour on the Big Island , Wasabi Tours is one of the most popular all-day options. During our trip to Hawaiʻi, renting a car wasn’t an option for us, so we decided to book their Big Island Waterfalls Adventure to see as much as possible in one day without driving. We paid $249 per person ($551.34 total for two adults), and the tour covered a large portion of the island, multiple waterfalls, and even a descent into Waipiʻo Valley. In this

While we were staying in Kapa‘a during our trip to Kauai , we stumbled upon Smith’s Family Fern Grotto Tour and decided to try this scenic river cruise for ourselves. The tour takes you up the Wailua River with live music, storytelling, and a short walk to the grotto, a lava-rock cave covered in lush, tropical greenery. Tickets were $30 per adult, and in this review we share exactly what the experience was like and whether this Kauai river cruise is truly worth it. Fern Grot

Wondering if the Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay is worth staying at? During our trip to Kauai, we spent five nights at this beachfront Hilton in Kapa‘a and paid $1,508.35 total for a standard king room (not including food or activities). In this review, we break down prices, breakfast costs, parking fees, amenities, and our honest verdict after experiencing the hotel firsthand. The hotel sits directly on Wailua Bay , right next to Lydgate Beach Park , and only 10 minu

The Nā Pali Coast is one of the most dramatic and untouched coastlines in the world, 17 miles of towering green cliffs, waterfalls, sea caves, and remote beaches along Kauai’s north shore. There are only a few ways to experience it (by boat, by air, or by hiking), and after comparing the options, we chose to see it from the water with a Na Pali raft tour from Kauai Sea Tours . We paid $180 per person ($360 total) for their 5-hour rafting adventure, and the experience was un
