Hawaii
The Kualoa Ranch Movie tour was so much fun! Our tour guide shared many bits of knowledge about the ranch and the island, and “The Rock” and his family were even on the ranch when we were there( unfortunately we didn’t run into him) we can’t wait to book another tour.
Crew and the Boat were great! The activity however was very crowded with many boats and other people, I guess that is to be expected! But I want to emphasize that the boat and crew were Top notch!!! Thank you Moana!!!
The Fairwind crew is very professional, for they stress safety and they are helpful. In addition, the captain highlighted dolphin sightings and the historical information regarding ancient Hawaiian culture. He also gave facts about the Captain Cook Memorial.
We loved our adventure!
We stayed in Waikiki for a short trip and decided to book with this company because it had many of the activities we wanted to do available in one trip. We chose the option to be picked up in Waikiki, and it took less than an hour to get to Kaneohe. BYO food and beverages so we packed hotdogs, pbj, water and my husband packed a beer. We also packed 2 towel and a change of clothes. There is a convenience store on the dock for last minute food and drinks; TBH we probably could have bought all our food and drinks at the dock instead of lugging it from Waikiki.
We set sail with live music to the sand bar which was incredibly magical. Took 4 songs to get to our area of the sandbar and the day we went the water was about 3 feet deep. I would ADVISE to get to the floating barge asap and get a spot because we had a large family get there first and dominate the raft. (Be courteous to others and let people enjoy the raft and don't hog it!) We got to experience all activities we wanted and it was over before we knew it. We didn't kayak and had maybe wanted one more hour but the time we were out there was enough to be highly satisfied.
We paid extra for the banana and tube rides and they were so much fun! While on the banana boat, the gentleman driving the speed boat slowed down for us to see the sea turtle that was swimming passed. What a great surprise! You only get one trip on each.
All the staff was friendly and I felt comfortable they had everything under control.
We would HIGHLY recommended this adventure, especially if you have a short time in Hawaii and want to do at lot of water activities. Great for families, too!
My daughter loves it so much. However, we don’t have big Sun that day, so I choose to stay inside of the boat most of the time. My daughter go paddleboarding and diving. She loves it. Both of us go for the banana boat, it’s too short actually like 5 mins. But it’s fun and we have people fell off. So, if the weather is good, it’ll make a big difference.
The rides are super fun and we enjoy it very much. The horses are very kind to people. We feel very different when riding a house in Hawaii beach, it’s so enjoyable & fun.
It’s a most do when you’re visiting the island! It’s a perfect activity if you have young children! It’s well worth it! Book with enough time to experience this activity! We booked in the morning and the weather was still perfect!
It was awesome! Super fun and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. For my family and I the food wasn’t the best
Place was amazing, not all tours have kayaks to use or standing paddle boards. Amazing views of the sandbar. Will definitely come back again or invite friends to see this amazing nature wonder.
We booked our tour not knowing quite what to expect. We were absolutely blown away. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and hilarious. I was new to snorkeling and nervous (i had approximately 1 hour practice messing around on a local beach) but i immediately knew i was in good hands with the crew and there was always a crew member close enough so i could relax. Words cannot explain seeing these amazing creature swim inches from you. The rays were super active the night we went and put on quite a show. I think the topper for me was a few days after our tour we saw a crew member at a local farmers market and he remembered us and came up and spoke to us about our experience. I absolutely recommend doing this because we will do it again next trip.
Aloha Eric!
We love to hear all the positive feedback about our captain and crew! Mahalo for joining us and we hope to see you again soon, we offer a 20% discount for repeating customers.
Best,
Team Iruka Hawaii
Must todo in Oahu. Plan for proper clothes & mask for dust while driving.
I had been hesitant about going to the pool even after coming to Hawaii, but thanks to my daughter's strong desire, we finally went! I regret not coming sooner... We played and laughed like children, getting completely soaked! It was a bit disappointing that the closing time was early due to COVID-19. We were in line for the slide, and just as it was our turn and I was getting ready to jump in, they stopped us and started locking it up. It was a moment that made me think, "Ah, this is America."
ハワイに来てまでプール???と思い ずっと敬遠してましたが、娘たっての希望によりいざ!!
なんでこれまで、来なかったのか、、、後悔後悔。
童心にかえって大笑いしながらビショビショ遊びました!!
コロナ禍の為か閉園時間が早くてちょっと残念な事が、、、。スライダー並んでました。私達の番になった!と着水準備したところ ストップと、、、鎖をかけ始めました^^; あ、、アメリカだなっ。て思った瞬間でした。
Awesome Experience! Buy tickets with transportation! ...
I truly enjoyed this tour more than anything! Our Tour Guide Alicia was so fun and informative. The views of the ranch were breath- taking. Take all the fun pics with the jurassic park characters around the ranch. Movie sites- fans of Gozilla, Jurassic Park, King Kong and many more blockbuster hits will go nuts!! You will literally turn into an excited kid during this amazing tour. Fun, Fun, Fun!! Highly Recommend!
Amazing Experience. Paid for transportation pickup from the hotel- very convenient. The deck views of the city were breath- taking. You didn't feel the boat moving. My family was seated at the table in front of the stage- could not have Asked for better seats for the fun historical entertainment! The crowd was engaged the entire time. The table was set up beautifully. Wine for toasting was kid friendly. The Deluxe 3 star course meal was awesome. The servers were very nice and prompt. My family had a great time on this cruise. Do recommend!
We had a great time swimming with the dolphins. Wish we had not gotten sea sick and enjoyed the trip more but we did have fun!
Aloha June! We are so happy that you enjoyed our Kona dolphin watch tour. Thank you so much for joining us. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
The staff was fantastic. Food was great . Banana boat and tube package was fantastic . Snorkeling was great . Live music was a very good touch .Overall a fantastic time .
The tour was great with amazing views of the valley and coast line. Crew was very friendly and informative.
The environment is nice and crew was friendly. Food could’ve tasted a little better.
Great time in the sandbar, crew is friendly and attentive, best excursion we did in Oahu!
The sunset cruise was very relaxing and had a big thick rainbow that stuck around until the sun set. The food wasn’t amazing, but it was good. We only got 2 drinks included, NOT 3 as posted.
The captain did find whales for us though! So a free whale watching was included!
A really enjoyable time. The DJ was hilarious!
The crew was awesome! The snorkeling was a great experience. Yes, it’s VERY EARLY in the morning, but with the air temperature being cooler, the water feels warmer, which is a plus.
Saw many different kinds of fishes, and a turtle and an octopus.
It was relaxing just floating there and watching the ocean life.
Thank you guys for everything you do! We enjoyed all three adventures and lunch. Our hearts are still with Ana! She is a perfect guide!
This tour was amazing. My friend and I met the tour guides and boat at the dock in Kaneohe and once we got onto the boat, we received a decent lunch. I highly recommend doing the afternoon package for the food and better weather. The boat ride took about 15 minutes and we were entertained with live music along the way. When you dock, they give you about 4 hours to do anything you want on the sandbar. From snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or just hanging out on the floating bar. I highly recommend this as a must do activity if you are on the island of Oahu. This boat tour is definitely worth the money and so much fun!
Our guide Josh provided a wonderful tour on the island of Lana’i. He was very knowledgeable of the islands history as well as the areas vegetation. Josh was personable and professional. We would definitely recommend this experience with Expeditions.
I participated in the 9 AM departure. At the check-in counter, I was welcomed in Japanese. Everything else was in English. In the photos of the submarine on the website, there were audio guide earphones provided, but there were no headphones, possibly due to infection control measures. Even though I didn't understand English, I was glad to have met the sea turtles and fish. The view from the submarine was a world of blue sea, and I couldn't distinguish the colors of the fish well, except for yellow.
As a measure against infections, all passengers were required to wear masks. For those who didn't have masks, there were supplies available. The crew sanitized the submarine windows with alcohol during the exchanges.
The weather was nice, and there weren't many waves, so it was good that there was little rocking. The view from the boat before boarding the submarine was also lovely.
朝9時出発に参加しました。チェックインカウンターでは日本語で歓迎してくれました。それ以外は英語でした。サイト内の潜水艦の写真では、音声ガイドのイヤホンが置かれていましたが、感染症対策の為かヘッドホンはついていませんでした。英語はわからなくても、ウミガメやお魚たちに会えたので、行って良かったと思いました。潜水艦からの眺めは青い海の世界で、魚は黄色以外は色の違いがよくわかりませんでした。
感染症対策として、乗船者は全員マスク着用です。マスクを持っていない人には、用意された物がありました。潜水艦の窓は、入れ替えの時にクルーの方がアルコール消毒をしていました。
天気もよく波もあまりない日でしたので、揺れも少なくてよかったです。潜水艦に乗る前の船からの眺めも素敵でした。
Driver pick us up early which is good because we were at the waiting area early. The boat ride to the sandbar was fun, definitely a great place to be. The crew is really nice and helpful. There so many option to do like paddle board, snorkel or just chill on floaty.
Plenty of snack and drink provide.
Thank you for joining us and sharing a nice picture! We're very pleased to hear you're having a great time at the sandbar.
Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your best experience with the Capt. Bruce tour.
Please come back again here, We're looking forward to seeing you! Mahalo
I had the best memories surfing at the popular beach in Waikiki while looking at Diamond Head. The lecture was easy to understand as they made an effort to use Japanese. They also took photos during the surfing session. However, it was a bit disappointing that it cost $50.
ワイキキの人気でにぎわってるビーチでダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらサーフィンができて最高の思い出になりました。
レクチャーも日本語を頑張って使っていただきわかりやすかったです。
サーフィン最中の写真撮影もしていただけました。
ただ50ドルかかってしまうのが残念でした。
Thank you for the 5-star rating and your comments. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your experience. Regarding the photos, our company does not provide photography services; we work with another company called Beach Boy Photography. Underwater photography and videography require significant skill, and due to staff hiring and insurance, we believe the minimum price of $50 is unavoidable. Please understand that this is offered as an additional service, not as a requirement. We look forward to your next visit. Mahalo!
5つ星のレイティング、そしてコメント、有難うございます。楽しんで頂けて何よりです。さて、写真の件ですが、弊社では写真のサービスはしておらず、ビーチボーイフォトグラフィーという他の会社に依頼して行っております。水中でとる写真・動画はかなりスキルを必要とするもので、スタッフ雇用、そして保険などを含めておりますので最低$50のお値段は避けられないのだと思います。ですので強制でなく、追加のサービスとして提供しています事をご理解ください。またのお越しをお待ちしております。マハロ!
This was an awesome hour! He was excited and had genuine love for what he was doing- and it showed! He answered all the questions my kids asked. Highly recommend!
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars !
Had a fabulous experience at the Luau with my family. It was the first luau experience for my daughter and she enjoyed it. Thank you.
Staf are so nice.Music was so wonderful. But water tempurature was little bit cold.
