The Xplore ride was really fun and brought out the kid in me! If you know a little about VR and Mixed Reality, this expe... morerience starts off with Mixed Reality with nice fish and marine life around you and some light educational sections on Waikiki and the beaches. The ride does transition into full VR at times with underwater volcanic vents, above ground volcanic eruption, a 360 visual aerial view above the islands (nice!), and an underwater route with all sorts of aquatic creatures around you, known to be local to the islands and some nice coral (this was my favorite part). There is more light educational pieces dispersed in these full on VR parts as well. The movement of the bus really gives you the sense of “traveling” through the VR worlds and even the fish “swimming” through the bus in Mixed Reality was enhanced by the movement. Our host was wonderful and really explained everything well! The driver was very friendly too. The experience can be heard in Japanese or English. Too me, the only negative, though the headsets are of very high quality, was the pass through video of the outside was a bit unfocused when it was too far in the distance (like the ocean views near Diamond Head). Final thoughts are that it is definitely worth it and please consider supporting this business and others that bring the beauty of nature and the immersion of technology and imagination together!

During my visit to Pearl Harbor National Memorial, I was struck by the powerful sense of history and reflection that fil... moreled the site. Walking through the museum exhibits, I learned about the events of December 7, 1941, and saw artifacts, photos, and personal stories that brought the day to life. Taking the boat ride out to the USS Arizona Memorial was especially moving, as I stood above the sunken battleship and honored the lives lost. The experience was both educational and emotional, offering a deep reminder of the sacrifices made and the importance of peace.

Our family of 6 got to experience this tour. It was amazing from the start. The Captain and Crew were awesome and very p... moreersonable. They were quick to help and easy to talk to. We got to see several Sea Turtles and even had a large female surface right next to us. The amount of fish we saw was crazy. The water felt amazing just floating and soaking in the experience.

On the way back we enjoyed some drinks and they took us for a ride down the coast line towards Diamond Head. The views were spectacular.

I highly recommend this if you’re staying in Waikiki.
