Our family of 6 got to experience this tour. It was amazing from the start. The Captain and Crew were awesome and very personable. 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.
My husband and I surprised my parents with a lei greeting in the airport upon our arrival in Honolulu, Oahu. Our greeter was wonderful and the leis were beautiful! I especially loved the leis the guys are wearing, they were so unique. Perfect start to any Hawaiian vacation!
This cruise was lovely! The 2 attendants on the boat were amazing. Super fun and personable, constantly making sure everyone was having a good time. The views were amazing! Highly recommend for a fun date night or group!
Everytime we come to Oahu we book this trip. It never disappoints. The staff always friendly and entertaining while keeping you safe while navigating the boat! Delicious hamburgers bbq’s on the back of the boat. A perfect day every time!
Highly recommend this tour. There are many similar ones but we had a blast. We had plenty of time to snorkel and explore. Boat had changing rooms and bathrooms. Loved the entertainment.
If you want to paddleboard or kayak they are in limited supply so I would do that first.
Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience. The true magic, however, unfolded on deck—watching Waikiki’s shimmering skyline from the water as fireworks lit up the night sky. An unforgettable evening I would gladly repeat.
Enjoyed the explanations of movies filmed here and learning about the native plants as well as the non-native plants. Would have liked a more detailed description of what we would be seeing and I would have signed up for a more comprehensive tour of Kualoa Ranch. Another family said the same thing. By the time you are there and realize it, the spots are all taken and you cannot upgrade your tickets.
You would really enjoy the experience!
From start to finish this was the best part of our trip to Oahu. The staff made everything go so smoothly and were all so sweet and fun. The musicians were amazing and will even take weird song requests from the audience. The sand bar is stunning and was just so magical, the extras like the paddle boards and canoes, snorkeling and volleyball, were the cherry on top. 10000% recommend that you add this to your trip! We also did the bumper boat and although my husband hated it, my 12 year old son had a BLAST!
You can add on the bumper or banana boats while you’re on the sandbar if you are undecided..
We had a great time - knowledgeable staff dedicated to safety; beautiful spot for snorkeling and having fun! The lunch was delicious
Guarantee you will have fun! Amazing views, warm clean water. Live music
Great guide (local), the pick up spot is a neat art gallery with a snackshot. The tour was great, filled with local knowledge and just the right length.
You might want bug spray (we didn't need it) and the wild horses aren't shy so bring apple slices!
We were greeted near baggage claim by a very friendly professional gentleman. Lovely!
We had a fantastic time on the nighttime stargazing and sunset tour with James! We learned so much and had a memorable night - the sandwiches, sunset and stars were top notch!
This was one of our favorite activities in Hawaii! The expert crew was awesome, friendly, and very helpful. We will definitely book this tour again on our next trip to O'ahu!
Yoshi was so sweet and kind. He provided snacks, water, cold weather gear, chairs, hot chocolate. The ride felt safe. He knew all the spots to be away from crowds and with perfect views. Super knowledgeable to get fabulous pictures. Highly recommend.
It was 8 of us and we all love it! If you like nature, you will enjoy this one. The movie scenarios, the ranch is like paradise. You could see Gods creation at its best!
Wear a sweater and pants.
We did several activities in Hawaii but if I had to choose one as my favorite, it would be this one. You get to do a little bit of everything, it’s like the whole Hawaii experience. This is great family tour. I loved it so much! Plus the buffet dinner is included which was amazing! The night show for me was the best part. I can’t describe how much I loved it!
Wear comfy shoes, wear a light sweater and take some sunglasses!
My family and I had the best experience, the ranch is amazingly beautiful! We felt like we were in the King Kong movie haha. The ride was super fun. Would definitely recommend this!
This was in May, wear jeans and a light sweater. I got sick, the wind was freezing cold.
Such an amazing experience! Pictures don’t do justice of being up so high above the clouds. The sunset was gorgeous, the sandwich was good, the stars were incredible!
Shoyo was very kind and took great pictures!
Great experience! Like snorkeling without getting wet. They took us over beautiful reefs with lots of fish. It was fun! The guides were great!
Great for all ages!
We were really lucky with our tour because Kilauea started erupting in the morning of our tour day and we had a helicopter tour at 9:00 AM. We were able to see unbelievable sights from the helicopter as we were flying over the caldera.
The downside of it was that everyone else also knew about the eruption and wanted to get to the volcano park so we were stuck in the traffic for hours with others queuing to get into the park. This affected slightly the schedule of our tour, but we still managed to see the main things, and as I had visited the park before, it didn't matter so much to me. The thing I hoped and expected from the tour most was seeing lava spouting up in the air, and that came true!
Just as a reminder, you don't always get to see lava flowing, but the sights overall are still amazing and definitely worth the trip.
Fantastic experience! Delivered on everything during this trip! Kids had a blast and we saw turtles, dolphins, octopus, and many fish. Would do it every time that I am here!
We had the most amazing time was so much fun. Struggling was great. The sandbar was relaxing. They were able to paddle boat too. The crew was incredibly nice and helpful.
This was my first time but the host was an absolute doll while kayaking she was giving us a bit of history of certain things, she was very informative very helpful and wonderful all together. If I come back and do this again I would definitely choose them to have her and her amazing personality. Thank you for showing us a good time.
Make sure you are prepared for all the rowing definitely hurts after a while
If you’re debating on booking this, don’t—— Just DO It! My son and I had the best time with breathtaking view. Our tour guides were knowledgeable on the history and they were amazing photographers as well. Definitely take them up on their offer to take pictures of you and or the family.
Book the tour. You won’t be disappointed!
The whole staff was so friendly and was so helpful for first timers. It was high tide and we did snorkeling first, the kids loved it learning for the first time. I tried paddle boarding and it was hard for me but still fun. The kids did the banana boat and it was fast and my three year old granddaughter had to ride on the boat instead, but she still had a blast. The band played Island music and it was perfect. We were there at the sandbar for three hours and it was exhausting but still fun. We would love to come here again next year.
Bring sunblock lotion instead of sunblock spray
A very fun adventure. Beautiful kayak trip on the Wailua River. The river was very calm and both ways were fairly easy to traverse. A little bit of wind on the way back made it a tiny bit more difficult but not much. The hike was fun. The last part gets a bit technical due to large wet rocks and such and being a bit older slowed us down some especially on the way back. Our guide, Harrison, was fantastic and helped us through the short area that was really difficult. The falls are majestic and I feel so lucky to have been there. It was a great day!
You will be very wet. Bring extra clothes.
Totally recommend you do it. Yes hard work but worth it at the end.
Wonderful service, was greeted as described by baggage claim with a clearly marked sign. So friendly and personable, offered assistance for car rental shuttle and guidance around the island! Will definitely do this again. Mahalo!
Forrest was an excellent guide, full of personal insight into the region as well as its history. He shared with us his experience in the valley, told us about the things and places we were viewing, and explained the challenges the region has and still does face. We loved the views, the animals, and the friendly greetings from the locals.
