Great your! An added surprise and probably the highlight of the tour for me, we saw so many dolphins and they got up close and personal with us! We also managed to spot a few whales and a baby! Wren and Ryder were both fantastic also. Definitely worth the price!
It gets windy and you’re going to get a little wet!
Great trip on the river! The captain was very informative on the local culture. The crew performed a dance at the grotto and also performed several dances on the way back on the boat. A good value.
Bailey and Larry were fantastic! We did well bottom fishing, and then caught this 25 pound ono on the trip home! Great experience, great time would recommend to anyone
10/10 recommend. Great staff. Friendly. Great music.
We had such a fun visit to the Manoa Chocolate Factory on Oahu with my toddler daughter. She loved it, and so did I.
The tour starts with a really interesting intro about how they source cacao locally, which gives the chocolates unique flavors from different islands. The chocolate fountain tasting was definitely a highlight for us. Everything was so rich and delicious.
We ended up picking up a few chocolates to take home. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting a local business like this.
Their designer is pretty good. Check out their merchandises at the gift shop.
The staff was amazing ! The dolphins are angelic. We had an awesome experience. Thank you so much .
I had to share the experience to my sister and her family that my kids and I had the first time we went here back in June 2025. For my nephew's bday March of 2026, I suggested to go to the Kaneohe sand bar again. The consistency of their best service is just really incredible. From the warm welcome of the staff, the island vibe voices of the singers, the lifeguards who constantly keeping an eye to the kids, the captain who made the banana boat super exciting and safe. The place, the view and the people gave us all an unforgettable experience. Looking forward for the next visit, hopefully with the rest of our extended family. Mahalo/ Salamat!
We had a great time! Our guides were amazing and although it was treacherous at times, we felt safe. Beautiful scenery!
Would highly recommend.

The evening began with a warm welcome as guests boarded the catamaran around 5:00–5:15pm, accompanied by live music at the dock. Light snacks were available and an open bar offered a variety of tropical cocktails and local beers, creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The boat was quite full, which led to long lines at the bar and limited snacks at times. The sail departed around 5:30pm and lasted about an hour. Ocean conditions were still a bit rough following recent storms, but we were still able to spot a few whales, which added a special touch to the experience.
After returning to shore, we headed straight to the luau and arrived while dinner and entertainment were already in progress, so we likely missed some of the pre-show activities such as hula lessons and cultural demonstrations. Dinner was described as a buffet, but it was actually set up more like a series of food trucks, kiosks, or booths, where guests visited different stations to receive plated items. While this setup provides a wide variety of options, it can also lead to using multiple plates per person.
The food was catered by Moani Island Bistro, which was flavorful and well-prepared. Seating was first-come, first-served for this event, but even though we were seated in the back, we still had a good view of the stage. The show itself featured engaging storytelling, Polynesian dances, and impressive production elements like lighting and visuals, giving it a polished, theatrical feel.
Overall, the combo offers a unique way to experience both a sunset sail and luau in one evening. However, timing overlaps may cause guests to miss some activities, and those sensitive to motion may find the boat portion challenging.
Take motion sickness pill before the cruise, and arrive early to secure a good spot on the catamaran
Our family had the best, and most gracious experience on our whale tour! This company truly cares about the species and their environment and it shows. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We can’t wait to come again!
Book now! Don’t wait!
We had a great experience. Joshua communicated well. We needed to make a last minute venue change, due to the weather. Everything worked out perfectly!
We really had a good time. As the person in the very front, I got pretty wet, but the water was not cold at all. It was awesome seeing Waikiki from a surfer’s perspective.
This was an awesome tour! Our tour guides were amazing and shared some incredible stories about the ranch, the movies and the island itself.
Beautiful valley and great guide. The valley is definitely worth a visit. If you are on the big island don’t miss this one out.
Very professional and entertaining guide.
Interesting commentary on the way to the top.
Don’t miss it.
My husband and I had a wonderful first trip with this company and first excursion together. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was live music and the atmosphere was great. We would definitely recommend this for anyone else looking for something fun to do while you’re staying in Hawaii.
Show was great! Chief and his family put so much positive energy into the whole event! Food was very good!
Get middle tier tickets!
The Old Lahaina Luau topped anything else we experienced in Maui. The setting was so perfect and peaceful right along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Such beauty, talent and grace throughout the performance. The historical narrative was so interesting too. And they fed you well! Don’t miss out, book today.
Our tour guide was awesome! Albachino was our tour guide and he was hilarious, knowledgeable, and so kind!
Our tour guide Jonah was really nice and super flexible with the schedule so you don’t feel rushed at all. The route is ideal and recommended by locals I talked to. It was a great tour and we really appreciated the tour guide answering all our curious questions happily!
We had an amazing tour of the Road to Hana! Our tour guide/driver was Clarissa and she was outstanding! Hands down! She knew the road, shared her experience, and was very knowledgeable about the entire tour! Thank you!
Wonderful fun for all ages ! Great Hawaiian experience
Finding it and checking in can be a little confusing read and follow the directions they send
The river boat tour was just ok but the Hawaiian music, hula, dancing and Fern Grotto was amazing !!
Friendly staff, great time!!
Three of my kids participated in the swimming with the dolphins and LOVED IT! One even said it was the best day of her life! It was very informative and Patrick had a really great personality and interacted with well with all the participants in the group. I highly recommend going to Dolphin Quest at the Hilton Waikoloa!
Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff
This is by far the best adventure we had on our vacation in Honolulu. An experience underwater with the aquatic life was truly one of a kind. We will do this again when we return next season.
Wanted to surprise my partner with her first traditional Hawaiian 🌺 lei greeting :) both beautiful and smelled amazing !
