Doug was an absolutely amazing guide! I ended up being the only person who could make it to the tour due to traffic for the others, and Doug made sure to make me feel both comfortable and prepared for the experience. It was my first time doing anything other than some light snorkeling and he did a wonderful job briefing me and making sure I was all set and knew what to do and expect. He was also very friendly and welcoming and by the end we knew a fair amount about each other which almost made it feel like diving with a knowledgeable buddy.
Once we got in the water I was blown away by the amount and variety of fish instantly visible, and the whole tour seemed to have something new and interesting to see every time I turned around. Doug did a great job of pointing things out and getting tons of amazing pictures. Being the only one to make it to the tour that day worked in my favor as we were able to stay out longer and Doug took the opportunity to show me as much as he could.
This was an absolutely amazing experience, and the highlight of an already great trip! I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're an experienced diver or a complete novice like me!
This was the best activity we did as a family on our Hawaii vacation. Such a beautiful day out at sea. We snorkeled and went down the slide. My 7 and 4 year olds were swimming in the middle of the ocean and having a blast. The staff was so nice and helpful. They fed us lunch and the tacos were delicious. We got a ton of great photos as well.
From our pick up in Waikiki to drop off our trip was wonderful!
The team on the catamaran was friendly , knowledgeable & fun.
We will definitely book again next time we are back .
Dan was outstanding. We had a great experience with him. He took great care of us all.
Everything about the day and evening was terrific ☺️
Super fun for all ages! Our guide, Noah, was great and entertaining the whole trip.
The red dirt will stain so dress accordingly
Riding the tubes down the canal was fantastic. The guides made the trip much more fun and enjoyable.
We had a great time with Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure. Brice, our main guide, was very experienced, safety conscious and fun. He was born and raised on Kauai so get his recommendations on things to do on the island.
The tubing in the canal and tunnels was great and another guide, Cameron, made it fun, too.
There was a wonderful lunch provided after the tubing. I highly recommend this excursion.
ROYAL STAR WAS REALLY EASY TO WORK WITH, ON TIME AND RELIABLE AND WORK GREAT FOR MY TEAM OF 26 GETTING US TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT AND HOTEL . SMOOTH RIDE AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE.
We had a great time. The views were awesome. Was worth the money
We had a wonderful experience with captain Zach and Bailey They both were very friendly and knowledgeable. Great value. Boat was clean well organized and comfortable.
Warm and professional welcome with info about useful tips.
Communication was excellent from booking, to handing out equipment, to snorkeling instructions, to keeping group on-time and together, etc. I had complete confidence in the hosts' professionalism and adherence to safety protocols. Furthermore, they were personable and so interesting. The ride to/from the bay was almost as engaging as the snorkeling. The day I went the conditions were perfect: the water was clear and there were so many fish and even a turtle. Truly, the experience was wonderful from start to finish.
They were so friendly and very engaging you didn’t feel rushed or pressured! It was so relaxing and the guides did a great job pointing out cool animals on the reef we probably would have missed! Definitely worth it!
This was the Best Dinner Cruise we've been on!!! We Loved the Sail Boat!! And the dinner was exceptional!!! The staff were all very friendly and did a great job!' And we loved the Captain!! The sunset was Spectacular!! We will do it again!!
We truly enjoyed the hospitality of the captain and crew. Beautiful scenery! We loved the live music and hula dancing
If you’re worried about this being overly commercialized, crowded, or having a crew that is just going through the motions…you’d be pleasantry wrong! This is a must do.
The best day ever crew was awesome and music was stellar Jessie!!!
None keep up the great job!!!
This luau far exceeded our expectations!
The entire show is very well put together. The ambiance is incredible. The staff was amazing. We were greeted with hospitality the entire time. The food was delicious.
Not only did we get a great show with all the dancers, fire twirling, and music, we also got the history of the culture and people behind it all.
On top of that, they also threw in humor.
It was highly entertaining!
This show is a must see! It does not disappoint!
Be sure to upgrade for the front row table seating.
We were interested & curious about the recent history of Lanai - from Dole to Murdock to Ellison. Lucky for us, Josh and his family lived it all & he was kind enough to share with us. Having the right guide makes all the difference. If you decide to go, we hope you are lucky enough to catch a day with Josh.
The only negative is parking at Maalaea harbor. Unless you're on the first trip in the morning at 0630, plan on a long walk from your car to the boat. They use a smartphone payment app for all parking in the harbor. At $1 per hour, the rate isn't bad - but the process of in-putting your credit card & rental car license plate info can be a problem, especially if you're running late. We were there at 0545, began boarding at 0600, and under way at 0630 on the dot. Give yourself plenty of time.
We were told that this operation was based in Lahaina before the fire, so they are still recovering.
I was only expecting to participate in the buffet and the show in the evening, but when I checked in, there were still about an hour left before the Polynesian exhibition closes, and the ticket included it. This definitely worth much more than how much I paid!
Check in as early as you can!
This was a great introduction to snorkeling for our apprehensive teen. Nick was fun, knowledgeable, and patient. We learned about the sealife of Oahu and had so much fun, too. Highly recommend!
The cruise was very well organized and the staff was friendly and fun-loving. My kids and I enjoyed ourselves immensely and plan to make this a continuous part of our trip to the islands.
This was a great tour and our guide was amazing. We will do this again next time we are there.
Nice cruise with excellent staff, especially the captain
Our guide was brilliant. We did the ride along and by far it was far more immersive and engaging then had we driven our selves. Our guide was so energetic and only too happy to share cultural insights. Both guides clearly loved their job and it showed through their enthusiasm and passion for what they did. Well worth it!
Phenomenal experience with horses, the ocean and a great group of nice people.
no recommendations
It was great and fun! The water was beautiful and blue.
Our guide Wes was incredible! We learned so much and enjoyed the sunset and stargazing on Mauna Kea so much! Wes was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
All 6 of us loved this trip! Lots of fun, great crew, awesome music. Sunset wasn't 1too great as it was a cloudy, rainy day...but that's not your fault and we had a wonderful time anyway. Good drinks, definitely not watered down!
Perfect as it was. Wouldn't recommend kids on this trip. Should be adults only. Seriously.
