All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

While on this trip, we celebrated our 40th anniversary. We took the Wilua river cruise to the Fern Grotto 40 years ago on our honeymoon, and I'm happy to say that the best parts of this experience have not changed.
We were happy with the new decking in the Grotto, I only wish that they had wheel chairs available at the Grotto. My wife was unable to make it all the way to the main platform, so she missed out on the best part. Our main goal was four our three daughters and our grandson to see it, and they did!
Thank you for another great experience!

Not what we expected, drove round the hillsides in a bus looking at sign boards that said what was filmed there. Holes dug in the ground claiming they were dinosaur footprints but had to be filled in because cows were falling in them. Also film props of bones that were too fragile to be touched as they will break as they were made of polystyrene... really!

Awesome! Greatest experience. One of the highlights of our trip Mahalo

The show was good. The host is very entertaining. Food is as usual, nothing spectular. Upon arrival, only adult received drink tickets which the description did not indicate kids and youth don't get ticket for drink. With the price, the kids deserve soda tickets. It will be better if there are more pre-show activities, such as more photo backdrops and more lighting.

This tour was the best thing we could’ve booked during our stay. It was our first time in hawaii and Jonah went above and beyond to give us the best experience. We were able to try some of the best spots on the island such as Leonards bakery, and the bald guy, along with the visit to the beer garden. He even took us to places that weren’t on the schedule, and we couldn’t thank him enough! We stopped at a beach on the north side where we were able to watch dolphins. We were so happy to have Jonah along our side with amazing knowledge and to give us the do’s and dont's of hawaii. We highly recommend to book this tour with Jonah for your first time to get that hawaiian experience you’re looking for! Thank you Jonah so so much for everything! (Especially the horses!)

For our first time here. I will say this was the best tour to do. Our tour Guy was amazing he went over and beyond to show us everything and made us feel so welcomed. Jonah is the best tour guide we’ve had since we’ve been here. He explained details and the history of Hawaii thru out the drive. Took all our pictures of us and our adventure. We want to thank him for making our 2nd day memorable. Book this tour.

Amazing Tour and awesome tour guide and driver . Very polite and helpful throughout the tour !
So knowledgeable and made it extra special for each tourist . Must do for anyone planning a trip

We've been to the Fern Grotto many times and love it every time.

Lovely cruise provided by great staff with hula, singing, music, story telling, walking tour, and an overall great time. Bring water, sunscreen and possibly bug repellent. Will do this again next time we are on the island.

Amazing!! The company was really great! It was a good time

Wes and his partner did an awesome job. Wes was very professional and gave alot of information about the tour and the history of Hawaii. His partner is an amazing photographer. I would highly recommend this tour company

We had a great time with the deluxe volcano tour. Gary was professional, knowledgeable, nice and took a very good care of us and everyone in the trip. We had a yummy lunchbox and tasty three courses dinner with the nice ambiance. Lava flow at night was amazing. Thank you so much. Recommended!!

My family had a wonderful experience with star cruise. Great food, very accommodating staff, great show and best of all is the sunset. And to top it all, great fireworks to end the night. Just make sure you book on a Friday to see the fireworks.

The sunset is just as good as the sunrise! and no reservations. This tour company however is the one to go with, as the stargaze was really detailed!

This is they way to go! From the smooth pick up, to our awesome driver Kimo who was welcoming, funny and shared so much information throughout the tour up to the end. We enjoyed ourselves while at the Pearl Harbor and did not wait in any lines thanks to this booking. We even got to buy tickets to experience the other museums and walk through the USS Bowfin and the picture they took of our family was a great keepsake.We had a wonder experience from beginning to end.

I took my parents, brother, aunt and cousin. We all loved the special treatment with the package. The food was above expectations. The views were nice. Loved the fireworks on the Friday night cruise. The music and entertainment was amazing. The young lady who served us was a new trainee and did a wonderful job. The only thing that was a little off putting was the manager’s conversation was a little repetitive throughout the dinner.

It was a little too crowded for my liking and the show was lackluster. Overall a bit to touristy for my liking. My daughter did not feel good the entire trip. They do offer you ginger candy if you are nauseous.

The food was really good, as were the cocktails and the views were amazing.

I also loved the professional photographer and we did purchase a beautiful family picture.

So overall mixed reviews.

Friendly driver, clean bus, delicious malasadas!
Got to see all the good stuff and not have to drive.
I wish we had more time at the temple that is my only complaint.

Great trip for any one that has problems walking or doing large hikes. Nice boat ride as you see nature along with kayakers . The more adventurous people would probably prefer that method of seeing the area. On the boat they taught a hula dance. Gave some interesting info on the walk. It is an easy trip.

My family went on this excursion to the Grotto because it looked so good in the brochures. The boat ride up and back was the best part in my opinion. The workers on the boat were very entertaining and told the history of the river and the Grotto.
On the way back they let us place our flowers in the river and tell a little about our mother who had passed away just a few days prior to this part of our trip.

We really enjoyed the cruise. Everything was great. Food was excellent, great entertainment. our waitress Geridene was just amazing. I highly recommend doing the dinner cruise.

We had a really great time. From our bus host to the main event. Cousin Tao was our bus host and she made the 45 minute bus ride fly by. She educated us on the culture the tattoos and made us laugh. She talked about pearl harbour, the climate of the island, as well as some of her native language.

We enjoyed the food. The pork was flavorful, chicken was good. Like anyone, I stayed away from what I knew I wouldn't like. Drinks were ok, but we aren't big drinkers to begin with. The main show amazing. Chief was very entertaining. The dancers were authentic. They tell a story and explain each islands culture, while entertaining you. The finale was great with multiple fire knife world champions. I highly recommend this luau! Yeah it's not on the beach, but so what! I learned about the culture, and had great food.
Also at the end of the night we ended up with two drunk strays. Cousin Tao, even though she didn't have to. She could've just said sorry you aren't on the roster and made them get off the bus. She
Called her boss, asked him to come back to bring them back to Waikiki. I thought that was super nice of her. If you want a genuine luau experience go to Chiefs luau.

The site says you see areas of where jurassic park and lost was filmed but the instructor didn't mention anything once. At the end of the tour she asked if I've seen the movies, and it didn't go further than that. She talked about how her tips were for her vacations. Google it. Save yourself money and take yourself on the tour.

My wife and I enjoyed this tour more than all of the others. It was a beautiful, leisurely trip down the river to Fern Grotto. The scenery, and entertainment was wonderful! $30 per person is the best deal on the entire island. Don’t forget to tip.

Great experience - our guide Dave was very knowledgeable and funny. The Pearl Harbor visit was a very moving experience. The city tour is a great way to see places you may want to go visit on your own at a later time.

This experience is hard to express in words. I definitely want you to see the sunset and the starry sky with your own eyes. The staff were great at explaining things, kind, funny, skilled at taking photos, and very helpful when I needed assistance. Thank you for a wonderful and enjoyable memory.

この感動は言葉ではなかなか言い表せません。是非サンセット&満天の星を自分の目で見てほしいです。そしてスタッフさんは説明が上手い、優しい、面白い、写真が上手い、困った時に親切に対応してくれる素敵な方々でした。とても楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

The cruise was okay. Due to the roof on the boat, it was difficult to see much. You walk a paved path to pretty scenery. Lots of people.

Our arranged bus was 20 min late, but part of the blame was a nearby hit and run (so traffic staggered around the police and paramedics). This caused us to miss most of the pre-show. Can't really fault anyone for that - just wished we had experienced it.
They no longer separate parties by table, so no more actual COVID separation (on paper/signs, they ask people to wear masks when away from their tables, but hardly anyone did so and no one enforced it).
Food was great. Buffet style, both sides of 2 rows of tables. Pick what you want, go back as much as you want. Lines were quick.
Performance was awesome. I wasn't aware that they had world champion fire dancers in the troupe. I personally loved the stories and explanations of each dance.

Chris is never boring. He is an excellent tour guide with a great sense of humor. You can feel how proud he is as an Hawaiian and of course as an American.
