Thank you all for the great adventure. Lots of turtles and what a beautiful setting!
What an amazing experience. You will not regret doing this activity. Jeff was our pilot and he came with a lot of experience under his belt. He had so much knowledge about Oahu and his narrating was great. I would definitely do this again 100%.
Do the VIP "Front seats" if you can. It is a little extra but well worth it.
We had a great first time experience. The crew were very professional and made sure we enjoyed our time.
We had a great time kayaking the ocean and river. Guides were very friendly, fun, annd accommodating and kept everyone in our group safe!
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.
To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.
I do suggest getting there at least a half hour early if you want to find a close place to park.
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.
Overall, the experience was fantastic. My wife and I are certified divers, and we wanted to introduce our boys (13 and 17) to the world of scuba diving without the time commitment of a full certification course. This introductory dive was relaxed and a great way to get them underwater without the need for certification. We wanted to gauge their interest before committing to the certification process. I can see scuba diving in their future.
While the underwater sights weren’t as abundant as you might find while snorkeling in surrounding areas, this experience offered something different, the chance to hover beneath the surface and breathe underwater. Our instructor, Alex, was fantastic and incredibly supportive throughout the adventure. I highly recommend this as a quick and enjoyable way to experience scuba diving.
Tony took us around the island, pointing out major attractions and narrating the entire time. We learned interesting facts about Hawaiian culture and some about the myths and legends. I enjoyed my time in Haliewa and finally got to try Matsumoto's shave ice - definitely worth the hype! Had a great time and Tony was a very gracious host!
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!!
We really enjoyed our booze cruise. Staff were friendly. Sights were beautiful. We even seen a whale.!! I would definitely go again and highly recommend.
This was so awesome and our pilot was so knowledgeable about the whole area, she even circled around the water a couple of times when we spotted a whale in the water, she was also in the navy at one time and had a lot of knowledge about Pearl Harbor. I highly recommend this flight, it is for 1 hour and you see a lot.
Wear a jacket if doing doors off, it gets really windy and chilly at times.
My family had a great time at the Chief's Luau Show. We paid more for the Royal seats and received the royal treatment. I also got a free weaved bowl, went onstage, and received a bouquet of flowers since we had an anniversary >20 years. Great dancing - loved the fire show. A great show and good food. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu.
While we have been to Hawaii a few times this was our first time exploring Hanauma Bay. We didn’t know what to expect but our guide made the adventure far easier than trying to tour this spot on our own. Our guide had all the snorkeling gear, wet suits if needed, snacks available, and took photos for us. We had a young 7 year old child up to elderly and even though some stayed in the water for just a little while our guide helped us navigate the waters or assisted us walking back to our spot on the grass. It was very busy there, and we unfortunately didn’t get to see sea turtles so I wouldn’t go with very high expectations of that. However the bay is just beautiful itself and there are a good amount of fish we saw which was still fun. If you are new to snorkeling and want to see this area I would recommend taking the guided tour like this and then venturing on your own in the future if you are comfortable.
They had all the gear from wet suits to flippers and a way to lock up a few items.
Nick was AWESOME! We went as a family (child age 11) and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
We had a fabulous swim with turtles adventure and even some whale watching on way back to shore! Staff was very helpful and kept a good watch on everyone in the water! If you’re prone to motion sickness you are likely to feel it on return trip so prepare!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a nice Luau that was right at our Resort. The food was good and the entertainment was awesome, told of the history of the Island and The Royal Hawaiian Resort. Recommend if staying at the Resort.
This was so much fun, Mike our tour guide was awesome and very knowledgeable about the Ranch. You don't realize just how many movies were made there until you see the signs and some of the props that were left behind. Make sure to bring a change of clothes with you because you do get dusty. Highly recommend this tour, you can also do Horseback but don't go out as far as on the ATV. You won't be disappointed.
Take a change of clothes, you get dusty.
Went to areas on the island that I would have never seen on my own.
These step stool to get down should have two levels. I had a hard time getting out of the van
My family enjoyed the 1 hour boat ride and 15 minute parasail experience. The guides were safety oriented but also playful. The optional photo package for $40 is nice to have (80 photos + you get the SD Card).
The day we went, the weather was so nice. There were two other families on the boat and everyone had fun.
Expected to be “dipped” into the ocean.
Expect to have a great day!
If you're someone that gets sea sick, prepare yourself before going.
This was a great tour. We learned so much about the ranch, the area, etc. We did the UTV tour and Kevin is a great story teller. Would definitely come here again and try a different tour next time!
Great job everyone!
It was a good experience overall - the plan they had with placed item was very helpful
If you're looking for entertainment, a variety of activities (snorkeling, volleyball, SUP, and kayaking), this is the way to go! It's perfect for families. We have gone both in the morning and afternoon due to the morning being booked. If possible, I recommend going in the morning due to the lower tide.
However, the staff were all extremely professional, safe, and fun. The live music was awesome and our two young daughters (3&6) have enjoyed their time they've gone out there.
Book!
The whole experience was wonderful and memorable. We opted for a couples picture and it turned out great! We love the firework and the amazing dancers. Had a great time and would do it again!
