I

to the Big Island,
what types of
Big Island activities
can I choose

The Big Island
is a great opportunity
for a taste of
unexplored Hawaii!
This beautiful
island is a study
in contrasts-
from the stark
lava fields of
the Kona side,
the startling
green of the
golf courses
of the Kohala
Coast, the old
West charm of
the upcountry
town of Waimea,
the lush beauty
of Hilo, and
the once in a
lifetime experience
of seeing a live
volcanic eruption
at Mauna Loa.
Hawaii activity
tours include
snorkeling cruises,
helicopter tours
of the volcano,
guided walking
tours of the
tropical forest
and world class
entertainment
acts.
For those wanting
a Hawaii golf
vacation, the
Big Island of
Hawaii is a dream
come true. Virtually
all of the resorts
on the Kohala
Coast are adjacent
to world class
golf courses.

How
far in advance
do I need to
book my Big Island
activities?
The amount of time
needed to secure
your Big Island
activities varies
greatly. If it
is a small group
or a honeymoon
couple, you may
not need to book
too far ahead.
However, many
of the most popular
activities sell
out in advance.
In addition,
many travelers
would rather
not spend their
Big Island vacation
in front of a
concierge desk,
deciding which
Big Island activities
to do. With the
advent of broadband
internet technology,
you are now able
to watch robust
video clips,
view photo's
and package descriptions
via the internet.
Many of our clients
enjoy securing
their itinerary
well ahead of
time, so that
their precious
vacation time
is not spent
making itinerary
decisions. In
addition, when
planning a Big
Island honeymoon,
we need advance
booking to secure
romantic surprises
and amenities
for your partner.
If you are securing
a Big Island
activities for
your group, you
must negotiate
and book in advance.
The tour company
needs to know
the total number
in your group,
how many will
be traveling
on any given
day, and what
your specific
needs are. Special
pricing and consideration
will generally
be given to groups.
However, your
group may completely
buy out many
of the small
Big Island tour
companies, so
you must book
ahead to avoid
disappointment.
Please contact
us to discuss
any questions
you may have
about planning
Big Island activities
for your group.
How
much deposit
is required to
pre-book my Big
Island activities?
The deposit needed
to secure your
booking with
most Big Island
tour companies
varies between
15-25% of the
gross amount
of the tour.
Smaller deposits
will sometimes
be permitted
with large groups.
The remaining
balance on your
Big Island activities
is generally
paid directly
to the vendor
upon check in
for the activity.
If you book your
Big Island activities
through the Preview
Hawaii travel
desk, we will
process the payment
for your deposit,
and issue you
print vouchers
that will include

tour company
name, activity

due, driving
instructions
and general information.
