This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!
If you can time this excursion on a beautiful sunny day!
Dan and Chieko were extremely professional, and great with our kids (6 and 8). They assisted the little one, and escorted us back to beach mid-tour when the kids got tired. Beautiful tour and great people 👏
Enjoyed the tour and all the sites. Nice way to tour with your family. Next time we think we’d like to try the bus tour.
We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!
I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazing, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!
Do this trip on your first day here.
Wonderful experience from the ease of booking online the 90-minute Manu Kai Catamaran private charter for my sister, Captain Charlene J.’s Ash Scattering Memorial to the end. Awesome crew, Aiden, Zach, and Brandon with instructions and accommodations. Hawaii was our sister’s second home and to commemorate her with our family made it so special. Mahalo nui loa 🤙🏼🌺
Everything was awesome! 👏🏽
My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.
We all had such a great experience on the tour. Staff were absolutely awesome. Views were stunning!
The whole team made us comfortable especially with the kids! Kind and friendly!!! Thank you for making our trip special and memorable. The boys want to take you up on a job 🤗
Recommend for the whole family! You get the chance to do a lot with your time in the water.
This was one of the best catamaran cruises I’ve been on. My husband and I had our last full day on the island and i wanted to snorkel to see the Honu . So we booked this excursion and it was the best way to end our honeymoon . The crew is amazing and so friendly . Me being and island girl and my hubby from the mainland i had to give him the best experience before we left . This did not disappoint . I can only remember Phoenix name but everyone on 5/18 1145 crew were wonderful. The sailing after the snorkeling was a great way to end the adventure . I recommend this highly . MAHALO !
If you’re prone to getting sick please take something prior. No fun watching people vomit in water
My family had so much fun. Great drivers. Would do it again with the same crew
My friends and I booked for a birthday celebration (green-themed). The staff was so helpful and nice. Boat was awesome, views spectacular! Oh, and let’s not forget the cocktails…We will be back!
Absolutely! Go for it!
Our guide Ryan was off the hook amazing. His passion for his job showed through. Our journey into the back country of Hawaii was exciting and informative. You’re going to get dirty and it’s worth it. If you only come to Hawaii once in your life make sure you take this tour!!!!
Bring baby wipes. The red dirt gets everywhere. Also bring your adventurous spirit. It will be awed!
Every thing you said it would be and more Thank you
Amazing experience Great service and excellent staff!
Hanauma Bay is still a beautiful place to visit! The reef is home to such a beautiful variety of colorful fish, sea urchins, & coral. A must see for anyone visiting Oahu!
Book the tour to ensure you get in!
This experience is one of the best for Waikiki.
Bottomless drinks, perfect evening view of the city skyline, and we had two amazing hosts who had the best energy.
Bring a windbreaker or sweatshirt. The wind isn’t bad, but it’s better to have it and not need it…
This is our third trips to Hawaii but is the first time to have a chance to see other beautiful beaches in Oahu in addition to the well known Waikiki beach. The hike in the Diamond Head was manageable but the view from the top was magnificent. With the driver John’s guide, we had the most spectacular experience in Oahu.
The booking process is easy. Tour driver was very on time and helpful.
Amazing food, very nice waitresses, and an awesome show! Includes the full Hawaiian experience, what you can’t miss
Get ready to sit back and be amazed by the incredible talent and creativity of the Cirque du Soleil cast and crew. There were moments I found myself watching with one eye covered—it was that nerve-wracking to witness some of the daring acts!
I couldn’t help but think: These performers must dedicate countless hours to perfecting their craft, and they do this twice a night? Truly impressive. Bravo! Bravo!
This show is a must-see for all ages and can be enjoyed by people from anywhere in the world. A beautiful blend of art, athleticism, and imagination—don’t miss it!
Sit in the back if you want to watch the whole show, for sure you'll feel the energy in the front!
Family memories for life. Many great historical facts presented along with the visuals. Great dancers musicians and actors. Kelli the host for the evening was very genuine and welcoming. We felt part of the Waikiki family. Surfside location added to the Polynesian environment. Thanks Veltra.
Book early, sit near the front and get the arm Tattoos .
This was an amazing ride. All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and bent over backwards to ensure everyone had a great time. The trip was perfect. You got sandbar time, turtle time and snorkeling.
Sunscreen and money for drinks.
We did everything they offered, tube ride, banana boat turtle watching, snorkeling, SUP boarding, kayaking, throwing the football. We loved this and will definitely do it on our next trip. They even have a big floating living room. And the snorkeling was really good- saw all kinds of fish. Loved this trip.
The boat ride to the sand bar was amazing , you get to view the beautiful bay of Kaneohe . The staff was amazing , they knew exactly how to welcome first timers , the food was so delicious, I’m not a hamburger dude but this hamburger was so delicious, it was served with my favorite pork and beans , great meal to hold you off through the tour .
Trip could be longer m don’t think anybody will complain
One important thing to note when you arrive at Hilo Airport is to head to the Bus Loading Zone pickup area at the end of the Baggage Claim Terminal. Walk outside of the Baggage Claim area on the first floor, turn right, and proceed toward the restrooms at the west end of the terminal, where a Polynesian Adventure vehicle will pick you up.
Our tour guide, Dexter, was incredibly knowledgeable, as he was born and raised on the Big Island. He was a wonderful gentleman, showing great respect, kindness, and compassion for everyone. A lunch was provided, which included a turkey wrap, kettle-cooked chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and a refillable metal water container. We also made a stop at Big Island Candies for some sweet treats. While we didn't need to wear pants or jackets, wearing hiking boots for ankle support is highly recommended due to the rough and slippery terrain.
Our Blue Hawaiian Helicopters pilot, David (nicknamed "Chewy"), was also very knowledgeable. He videotaped our entire flight upon request, and we even had our photo taken, which was uploaded onto the USB thumb drive. Remember to bring your photo ID. You will also need to view a safety video.
Overall, it was an excellent experience and well worth the money.
Dan from Blue Hawaii Divers was absolutely 💯 amazing. Very knowledgeable, thorough and caring. Great husband and wife duo. 5 star
If you are staying in Waikiki. I highly recommend these guys. They were fantastic. We saw many turtles and fish. An absolute high light of our trip here in Hawaii. Thanks to the crew!
Book! Just book!
Our guide Dan was EXCELLENT!!!!!! There were only 4 of us in this group so Dan was very conscientious of how we were doing, making sure we saw a huge varied fish and even a turtle. Dan was an EXPERT and knew Hanauma Bay like the back of his hand. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
We had an amazing time at kualua ranch and did the 2-hr atv drive. Fun and interactive tour guide. Beautiful sceneries. Definitely doing it again. highly recommended this tour.
We had a great time on our 2 hour ATV tour, the trails were easy to maneuver and our guides were fun! Thank you Ava and James!!
