Hawaii
The family and I (including 9 and 6 yo) accompanied Captain Bruce Tour Company to snorkel at Kaneohe Bay. This was money well spent, especially considering the length of time provided for snorkeling and paddleboard equipment. The masks seemed clean and properly sanitized, the boat captain provided clear instruction and had sufficient staff on board and in the water to assist participants. Staff also knew where to find sea life, including turtles. Overall, excellent trip and value. A word of caution -- be alert for jelly fish.
Thank you so much for joining our tour and your time for the review.
We are glad to know that you enjoyed puddle boat at Kane'ohe Bay.
Please come back to O'ahu, and let us take you to the bay again.
Mahalo and A hui hou!
This was my second parasailing adventure, and like my first time the experience didn't disappoint. The captain and his first mate were helpful, friendly and even humorous. They explained the rules and expectations but kept it light and fun. The boat ride out to sea was a little choppy but the views of the crystal blue waters and the Waikiki skyline during parasailing were as advertised. The only ding I'd give the tour is around the logistics for the meeting location. The address provided wasn't precise enough for our Uber driver so we ended up getting dropped off a few hundred yards from the expected meeting point.
This tour was really fun for the whole family. Our guides were awesome and fun. We only did the Half Zipline Tour (3 Line). Our time was limited.
I took the Red Line Trolley from Waikiki and got off at the King Kamehameha statue, aiming for Aloha Tower while sightseeing. Many shops in the nearby mall seemed to be closed, possibly due to the impact of COVID-19, and I had trouble finding a restroom. At check-in, I presented the voucher on my phone, and after the usual photo session, we boarded the ship. For us, who didn't need a dinner that was too much to eat, one drink was sufficient. (You can order drinks on board. There was a Japanese staff member, so I think it's fine even if you can't speak English.) It seemed that many of the other passengers were tourists from the mainland United States. There was a restroom on the ship, but it wasn't very clean. We moved from Pier 6 near Aloha Tower out towards Waikiki, making a U-turn just before Diamond Head to return. During sunset, the lights of Waikiki and the sunset were very beautiful. Since it was windy, a light jacket is necessary. A little before disembarking, a staff member will ask if you'd like to buy the photos taken before boarding, either as data or printed. We purchased a cheap printed photo. (I think it was around $25 in cash.) After disembarking, we returned to Waikiki by The Bus.
ワイキキからレッドライントロリーで、カメハメハ大王前で下車し、観光しながらアロハタワーを目指しました。付近のモールは、コロナ禍の影響かクローズしているお店が多く、トイレも使えず、困りました。チェックインでは、携帯のバウチャー画面を提示して、お決まりの写真撮影から始まり、乗船しました。食べきれない程のディナーは不要な私たちには、ワンドリンクで十分でした。(船上でドリンクオーダーはできます。従業員の中に日本人の方がいたので、英語できなくても大丈夫だと思います。)他の乗客は、アメリカ本土からの観光客が多かったような印象です。船の中にトイレはありましたが、あまりキレイではありませんでした。アロハタワー近くのピア6からワイキキの沖の方に移動してダイアモンドヘッド沖の手前でUターンして戻りました。夕暮れ時で、ワイキキの明かりや夕焼けがとてもキレイでした。風が強いので、羽織る上着は必要です。下船少し前に、乗船前の写真をデータかプリントされた物を買わないか?従業員が聞きに回ります。私たちは、安いプリントされた写真を購入しました。(現金で、25$くらいだったと思います。)下船後は、The busでワイキキに戻りました。
We loved this trip. The crew was great, and the whole experience was incredible. We learned so much about Hawaii, and got to see a side of the island few get to experience. We will recommend it to anyone going to Kuai in the future!
This was a phenomenal experience. The guides were great and the environment was beautiful. I want to give a shout out to Captain Robin who helped me overcome my extreme fear of snorkeling. I really wanted to be able to snorkel but I’m scared of deep water. He worked with me and another woman who couldn’t swim and we were both able to enjoy ourselves and see so many fish and turtles. He was incredibly patient and kind and I’m so grateful!
Thank you so much for joining our tour and spending your time for leaving the review!
Our snorkeling is designed for beginners can enjoy also. We are glad that you're able to see the turtles and fishes.
We appreciated your words and shared your review with our staff, especially Robin!
Please come back and we look forward to taking you to the Kane'ohe bay again, Thank you!
Great knowledgeable guide, Fernando made the long drive up to the summit with a bunch of volcano facts and stories about the Hawaiian history. Absolutely breathtaking views at sunset in the summit. Followed by stargazing, we were told about and shown all the constellations, saw some shooting stars, the Milky Way and Saturn
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.
This was a great activity and our family had the best time. There was so much to do and the staff and crew were very fun and helpful!! Would do again. 10/10
Thank you for meeting my clients. - they were sending photos before they ever claimed their luggage.
This is our first family ATV tour and we had a BLAST!
The scenery was spectacular and our Tour guide “Kiokie” is so amazing which makes it more memorable. My daughter likes to do it again when we go back.
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.
I arrived at the hotel entrance earlier than the scheduled pickup time, and they were already waiting for me, which allowed me to reach the airport with plenty of time to spare. It was very helpful.
迎え予定時間より早めにホテルの玄関に行ったらすでに待っていてくださり,余裕を持って空港に着けました。非常に助かりました。
The host was excellent!… the location pristine…. The dinner was also excellent…the show was very nice and sadly to say I would it like to see more “traditional show”… not so staged…
I enjoyed the location, but it is impossible to appreciate it during the hike or walk … it was very fast and unable to take pictures…. The description was the hike was by the “flat river bed”, but is was not .. it was walking on top of boulders, branches, wet ground, steep up and down….and Too many groups at the same time (crowded) or overlapping .. our group had 15 minutes at the waterfalls, not enough time to eat or get into the waterfalls…which also was very crowded with other groups….
Our tour guide was excellent…!!
Aloha Silvana, Allot has changed since we first marketed this tour 38 years ago as the "Secret Falls"; as you experienced, it it the best known secret. That said, even with the crowd at times, it is still a nice way to spend the day. Thanks for warning potential patrons that the road to the falls, is unpaved and uneven at times and can be challenging for some. Glad you enjoyed our guide and I guess excellent is good enough. Thanks again for you review. A hui hou, Micco/Head Guide
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.
Absolutely amazing experience. Crew was awesome. Boat ride was fun, views were stunning, lunch exceptional. Snorkelling gear was provided and they even had flippers for everyone!
This was a very organized snorkeling trip. Only 5 captains are allowed to go to the sandbar. Stunning scenery in the sandbar. Our kids played volleyball and we drank beer! We got back on the boat and ate a delicious lunch of hamburgers. Then headed out to snorkel. On the way we saw several sea turtles. The snorkeling was along a coral reef and we saw many cool fish and another turtle. One of the workers took my 12 year old out and helped her snorkel. She was sacred to go out. That was very impressive! I would definitely recommend this company! Everyone had a great time!!
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.
I had a great time on the boat with juice and snacks. Although there were no sea turtles, I enjoyed looking at the islands from the boat and taking photos, which is a unique way to spend time on a boat. Due to my mistake, I only had a $20 bill on me, so for reference, I recommend bringing a few $1 bills for tips if you're going.
ジュースとスナックありで楽しく船の時間を満喫。海亀やらは居なかったけれど船から島を眺めたり写真を撮ってもらったりと船ならではの過ごし方が出来ます。私の失敗で手持ちまさかの20ドル紙幣の持ち合わせしかなく、、参考のため、行く方はチップ代として1ドル紙幣を何枚か持っていく事をオススメします。
What a fun way to spend half a day. The musicians on the ride out to the sandbar were very entertaining. Once we got to the sandbar we especially enjoyed snorkeling and hanging out on the floating dock. Feel free to take a cooler (with booze if you so choose)! Grabbed a breakfast sandwich from a little shop right next to the boat and it was delish.
This is my second time going to do the parasailing and it never disappoints, this time we did the bumper boat and the jet ski- and Jessie made our experience unforgettable as he made us fly of the bumper boat !!! Totally recommend.
The sea is beautiful! They recommended great meal options and spots, and I was very satisfied! I chose cycling and pizza, and it was the best! Snorkeling and bodyboarding were of course fun too!
とにかく海がキレイ!
オススメの食事のメニューやスポットまで教えてくれて、とっても大満足!
サイクリングとピッツァをセレクトしましたが、最高でした!
シュノーケルとボディーボードももちろん楽しかったです!
Dear Jiko,

When you come back to Hawaii, please do visit Kailua. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

Great excursion! Fun, energy staff! We were very happy with the sand bar excursion. We kayaked, paddleboarded, and snorkeled. The musicians on the boat was amazing!
Water was calm so kayaking was relatively easy. Water was beautiful alongside the black lava rock cliffs. We saw a large sea cave and those who were brave enough were able to jump off the top of it into the water. I’m guessing it was a 40ft jump. We also had a smaller cliff to jump from I’m guessing about 25ft tall. The snorkeling was good too again in calm waters. Very enjoyable and would do again. Wear plenty of sunscreen.
The tour guides were amazing and a lot of fun! It was my daughter’s first time but she had a great time. What a great experience! Thank you
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.
My husband and I had a blast! The tide was high when we went but wasn’t too bad. The crew was great! Live music was awesome! Had everyone singing. Would do it again!
This cruise is awesome. Glenn the captain and his staff are phenomenal. Very attentive to your needs. Very caring and made you feel at ease. The sea was rough but he handled the cruise real well and took us to the most phenomenal view of the sunset and the coast. Ahren, Heather and Kevin were great.
Thank you so much for joining us and for taking the time to let us know what you thought of your experience! We are beaming and hope to see you out on the water again soon! Mahalo and Aloha
Wonderful experience! LOVE the music and the variety of activities available. The staff is very friendly and make the cruise even more enjoyable! The food was great too! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Definitely recommend to anyone.
