Traveler reviews
Wonderful Experience
Excellent tour - A true experience of a SCUBA diver without the trouble of SCUBA equipment. Much better than a glass-bottom boat!
What an amazing...
What an amazing experience!!! Went on a nice sunny day!!! Saw lots of sea life and the staff were great!
Friendly professional staff
Staff was professional, parking was easy, found the establishment easy. Only thing was most of the fish were on the opposite side in which we sat. Overall 9 out of 10
Easier than this NON swimmer thought it would be
It was a fantastic experience! I was a little apprehensive about getting from the boat to the sub because I don’t swim. AT ALL. Lol. But it wasn’t anything to worry about. Other than needing to hang on to the rail because of ocean waves and boat movement, it was very easy. It’s just a ramp with rails on each side to transfer from the boat to the sub, then climbing straight down the ladder into the submarine. Easy Peasy.
Skip it unless you’re zip-lining…
Was a “meh” experience. $15 dollars for the self guided botanical garden tour. Totally NOT worth it. If you’re there for the zip line, it’s probably great. But on foot, it’s messy, old cars parked everywhere, walking areas are practically non existent. Very poorly marked. Saw a large wild hog running the grounds and decided to avoid the orchards because we just didn’t feel like being seen as competition for his dinner…or being his dinner. lol The one waterfall we saw was off site. We drove there. It was beautiful Would we visit again? No. I wish we had gone to Hawai‘i Tropical Botanical Garden. It’s just a few miles further down the road. We drove by there on our way to a hiking trail to find a great ocean view. The trail we took bisected with the HTBG trail. It seemed much more organized and probably didn’t have the very dirty portable potties. Lessons learned.
