Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Fern Grotto was beautiful

Reviewed by: Jaszmine

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.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Had a great time once we arrived

Reviewed by: R Gaspar

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.

サンセット・ディナークルーズ  スターオブホノルル号 ライブショーと選べるビュッフェまたはコースディナー

I was able to enjoy a luxurious and elegant time. 贅沢で優雅なひとときを過ごせました

Reviewed by: ちゃん

The sunset cruise was larger than I expected. I chose the three-star option, and it was packed with volume. The lobster was particularly large, with a firm texture, and it was very delicious.

Since I added a commemorative option, there were arrangements for photos, cake, and champagne. However, the photos were taken right after boarding the ship, so the background was land. I wish we could have taken some pictures in a nicer location on the water.

The cake was not what I expected; it was a large whole cake, so it felt more like something to take home rather than to eat on the spot. I ended up having to eat it for breakfast over the next couple of days, so it might not have been necessary.

One reason I added the option was to sit by the window, but there were people who sat by the window without the option, so it might not have been necessary after all.

Everyone was dressed very casually, so I think you don't need to worry about a dress code. The cruise had delicious food, and the singing and dancing were really great. At the end, everyone stood up and danced together, which was a lot of fun.

The price is a bit on the high side, but I’m glad I booked it. For those considering it for a honeymoon, you might not need to add the option. I definitely recommend the tour!

サンセットクルーズですが、船は思っていたよりも大きかったです。
3スターにしましたが、ボリューム満点で、なんと言ってもロブスターがとても大きく、プリプリの身でとても美味しかったです。
記念のオプションをつけたので、写真、ケーキ、シャンパンの用意がありましたが、写真は船に乗ってすぐ撮影されたため、背景が陸地でしたので、できればもう少し海上の素敵なロケーションでも撮影してもらえたらなと思いました。
ケーキは、思っていた感じではなく、大きなホールケーキでしたので、その場で食べるというよりは、持って帰る用という感じでした。笑
向こうで食べ切るために、2日ほど朝頑張って食べるという感じになったので、いらなかったかもしれません。笑
オプションをつけたのは窓側がいいからということもありましたが、つけていなくても窓側に座れていた方もいたので、特につけなくてもよかったかもと思います。
服装は、本当にラフな感じで皆さん参加されているので、ドレスコードは気にしなくて大丈夫だと思います。
クルーズは、お料理も美味しく、歌やダンスもとてもよかったです。最後にはみんなで立って一緒にダンスをしたり、大盛り上がりで楽しかったです。
お値段は少し高級ですが、申し込んでよかったと思います。
ハネムーンでご検討されている方でも、オプションは別につけなくてもいいかもです。ツアー自体はおすすめです!

Did this tour on our first trip and was not disappointed the 2nd time. Completely different experience. Older folks were able to jump off the 20ft ledges but they also had spots where it was anywhere from1-5ft for young ones or those that were unsure. The hike through the jungle is so beautiful.

For the cost this tour was great! The tour guide, Larry was excellent. He provided so much history as we drove to Pearl Harbor and gave clear instructions on what to expect at the site.

Amazing tour!

Reviewed by: Erica

The tour is really nice. The tour guide made all the difference. Being a local the way in which he shared the history and the culture island makes the experience all the better. He didn't talk all the time, checked in on the group, and also didn't rush us at certain spots. I am grateful for who we got for the ride. Highly recommend booking this tour. It was a long day, but we were never bored. Wonderful experience!

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Disappointed for sure!

Reviewed by: Dan

I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.

Hi Dan,

We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:

1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.

Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.

In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.

With Aloha

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Awesome experience

Reviewed by: Anirudh

We had a great time in the sunset and stargazing tour. The tour operator Yamauchi-San was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He promptly picked us up at the scheduled time. He was very engaging with the whole group and provided us with donuts and water at the start of the trip. He ensured that the group got gradually acclimated to the altitude by stopping at couple of places on the way. Once we reached the summit he took us to a place that had a very clear view of the setting sun. Then during the stargazing part of the tour he showed us several stars and star clusters through the telescope and binoculars. Also since it was a full moon we also got a good view of the moon and it’s craters through the telescope. Overall we enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others.

Oahu Island Experience Tour - North Shore, East Side, Dole Pineapple & More

Best day of our trip to Oahu!

Reviewed by: Jessica

We are so happy that we decided to book this tour! We didn't rent a car due to the cost of the rental in addition to the parking fees and hassle. There were several spots we wanted to see but they were not walking distance from our hotel. We got to check off so many off our wish list during the tour! All in one day and without having to drive ourselves. There were also quick stops that our driver did on top of an already awesome itinerary. We got to eat malasadas from Leonard's and pineapple macadamia nut cheesecake from Ted's Bakery. The food truck stop had so many choices! We got to check off Giovanni's garlic shrimp off of our list too. The driver was so knowledgeable and funny. He also offered to take pictures of us. The van was clean and spacious as well. It doesn't require a lot of walking so it's perfect for people of all ages. You also get to see the other side of Oahu beyond the tourist spots. Definitely recommend!

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner

Fantastic Tour!!!

Reviewed by: Cortney

Overall this tour was the highlight of my trip to the big island (night swimming with mantas came in a close 2nd). It was super interesting and well paced. Our guide, Derek, really made the trip: he was informative, jovial, and generally lovely without being too jokey or overly pedantic, which really hit the tour guide sweet spot! I was solo, but this trip could work for anyone, families, couples, whomever. There is very little walking (a mile or 2), I might’ve actually preferred a bit more, but it made the trip very accessible to people of all ages and abilities

The sights:

Seeing a bubbling pool of lava was naturally the highlight. Most tours come in the day time, when we would’ve seen essentially nothing but steam. Our guide brought a telescope, so even though the activity in the volcano was pretty low key we could see spluttering and bubbling! The coffee plantation (orchard?) was a nice buzzy start to a long day. The black sand beach was ok

A well thought out experience:

The van was large and comfortable. Bathrooms were placed often enough that I didn’t have to avoid hydrating despite my tiny bladder. Enough food and snacks to keep everyone happy. Flashlights and jackets were provided, which was crucial!

Bring:
Long pants/sweatshirt - microclimates mean that it can be super hot in Kona and misty and cool at the park.
Binoculars - though the telescope was awesome, it would have been even better to have my own so I would t have to share.
A real camera - my iPhone 13pro was fine, but with such beauty, it’d be nice to have something with a little more control!

Aloha Cortney,
Thank you so much for posting your review, we really appreciate it! Your timing was impeccable, being here when the volcano was erupting.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Good show/food, Odd location

Reviewed by: Megan

Pros:
Great show. Very entertaining for all ages. The fire dancing was amazing. Chief was funny and a joy to watch. The food was better than I expected with how many people they were feeding. They ran out of some of the items and for it being an all you can eat, they closed the lines down quickly after everyone had a serving. The food lines also moved quickly.

Cons:
The location. It is inside the wet n wild water park which definitely takes away from it being authentic. Some of the tables has shade but many didnt. They have you get there at 5 but thinks dont really start until closer to 545 so you are just sitting there roasting and burning. I expected more activities to do woth the family but there werent any to do at all except look at 2 booths of trinkets. You also have to use the wet b wild bathrooms and they were so so dirty and smelly.
