This tour will have you learning so many great things about Big Island. They pushed our tour back a tad but they did this to let us see more of the night lava flow!

There are simply too many good things about this tour - from the stop at Black Sands (breathtaking) to the 3 course dinner that was TO DIE FOR and all local!

I would recommend this to anyone!!

Lunch was delicious and the crew spread nothing but the best of aloha. The boat is extremely clean and equip with fun things to do!! We saw amazing turtles and the sandbar just had the most crystal clear waters.

Our family had an amazing time! We enjoyed the band and meal. The crew was awesome and the sandbar was absolute beauty!

We came for our anniversary and the experience was amazing!! The crew is so dope and truly and laid back group of people it feels like you are with family. The music was great and the activities were really nice. They have all of the equipment there for you to participate in the activities so you will need to bring the other things like towels, byob, and sunscreen. Go with these people for your snorkeling experience you won’t regret!! Thank you KBOS we had a blast!! Mahalo!!

We have done a couple of other Luaus since the pandemic, and this by far is best one so far that is closet to a normal luau prior to covid. We got the plumeria package, totally worth it. The show was spectacular and food was great! Compared to other luaus completely recommend Germaines and would do this again. Booked through Veltra, it was easy and seamless.

This luau was super great and family oriented. The whole staff puts so much effort into a great show! As well it is so awesome to get a free pass to Waimea falls, great purchase for your buck!!

The boat and crew were great! The snorkeling equipment was first class. We didn't see that much wildlife at the two stops. A lot of small fish. The second stop was better. Didn't notice in the sign-up that the BBQ was vegan. That is nice for folks who like it but it would have been good to offer non-vegan food as well. We paid extra for the food on the cruise and I would have liked some regular food. Overall, the bar and drinks offered were very good and served with a smile. My wife thought the boat and seating were the best. The crew were very informative and happy to share their knowledge and culture with the guests. Would do it again!

We really enjoyed this tour. We would have liked to have had a little longer at the Arizona memorial itself as there were so many people it was hard to get the pictures that we wanted in such a short time. Seeing the Missouri was a plus and was awesome, since I am a nurse I would have liked to have seen more of the medical side of the ship...infirmary, pharmacy, Dr office etc....Overall it was very informative and we enjoyed the tour..

This was such a great and fun experience! The staff was super friendly and helped us take photos. This is one of the best things we did while in Hawaii.

My friends and I enjoyed the ATV ride so much. It was a fun experience and the two hours went by so quick. Beautiful scenery and our guide also capture some funny Dino eating videos/pictures of us. I recommended this to my family who was visiting Hawaii the following month.

I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but as soon as I exited the airport, I was able to check in at a yellow counter where they assisted me in Japanese. It was written that I should make a phone call, but I was flustered because I couldn't do it well, so I was relieved. The driver spoke English, but he was polite and that was great.

英語が話せず不安だったのですが、空港出てすぐにある黄色いカウンターにて日本語で受け付けしてくれました。電話をするように書いてあったのですが、うまくかけられなくて焦ったので安心しました。ドライバーさんは英語でしたがら丁寧でよかったです。

A group is us were scheduled to do this activity. Due to a lung issue my doctor said no way. Veltran could not have been more helpful in processing this change. I would recommend them in the future

The crew and performers were amazing! The dinner its self was very good! Over all my favorite memory of our time in Waikiki! Dancing on a ship can be tricky tho! Lol

My wife and I enjoyed the entire trip. Our tour guide was very friendly and very experienced. She went above and beyond for us to enjoy the experience. We will happily recommend for our friends and family that visit the island to do the same. Thank you so much!

The guide was very knowledgeable of the fauna and history of the island. He pointed out things that would have otherwise been overlooked. At the volcano he even setup a telescope for the group to get a closer look. My wife and I really enjoyed the tour.

From shuttle service to tour, everyone was awesome! Our driver, Sky, to Franky and Captain of the boat, Zi and her crew, they were all great!

The best experience is when Zi was able to convince my partner to go snorkeling by the reef. She guided her with the paddling board and this is her first experience swimming in the deep blue sea!

We had a great time snorkeling. Crew was very attentive and made the trip most enjoyable. We would book same trip again!

It was such a fun and relaxing day trip. Worth it! Good experience! The only con thing is that it’s stated on the website that soft drinks, juice, bread, pastries and continental breakfast are included with all the water activities BUT….BIG BUT they didn’t have and never had any of those except DONUTS, water and punch! I showed them what’s written on the tour site and the booking confirmation and they said that’s weird I was not the first who said this, they gotta talk to the agent. So come prepare your own drinks and snacks.

I don't know where to start, the staff, the boat, the experience were all amazing and so much fun!

We got lucky with weather and it was a perfect hot day out (also it's October so it's not scorching out)
Staff is experienced, fun & down to earth. They've been running the boat for a long time and train the younger staff themselves & they're very friendly.
They also have a lot of knowledge about the whole island but just the boat.

We went straight to the Sandbar on crystal blue water which there's lots of deck space to watch. We had the sandbar all to ourselves, set up a net and because our cruise ended up having less people and all adults, we all easily fit in and played a few games together in the middle of the ocean, honestly how much better and dreamlike can it get. We had a blast while others if not playing walked around the sandbar and enjoyed the amazing views.

Had a much needed lunch complete with some wine & enjoyed the sun.

We then went turtle searching and saw quite a few hanging out and breaching, but honestly having time to just enjoy the breeze and take in the views was great. Again, weather dependant but on a good day, boat is sturdy, hardly any rocking, nobody even looked remotely sick.

Then the snorkeling is on a pop up reef, so you can swim around the entire thing. Again, weather dependant but for us, crystal clear waters, some colourful fish, a nice lap in the water.
100% take the fresh water once or twice rinse after the snorkeling it'll make the rest of your boat time feel much more comfortable!
They served hot chocolate after and it warmed our bodies back up.

We all finished snorkeling rather early so instead of cutting our excursion short, they took us on a scenic route and gave us more sights and time on the boat.

Take this cruise if you're into some vball and snorkelling, those things alone & you'll love this!!

This is a nice quick activity for people interested in finishing whether your new or experienced. This can get real tippy on the waves so make sure you have anti-nausea just incase.

The small crew is great, fun and friendly, they're helpful and supportive.
We're used to some medium fish from rivers and lakes mainland, so these fish seemed small, but it was still fun fighting with some on the line, that's always the fun part.
However the water is so clear it's such a different experience.
They will teach you how not to get your weight stuck and how to get it out if you do, if not, they'll help you.

While moving from fishing spot to spot, we had dolphins swim along side our boat and saw a few turtles breach!!
Would love to see if there are bigger fish to catch depending on season but overall was fun, don't expect to be catching massive ocean fish though.


I do not recommend this for kids who either have not fished or are not interested in it before hand. It's fishing, there's a lot of waiting and patience involved, and most kids if they havnt fished before and know it's a waiting game, like on our tour will get bored within 10 minutes of holding a line and will either annoy the other guests or just simply won't enjoy it.

This was our first time visiting the sandbar and it was so much fun because of the crew of KBOS! Our day was overcast, but we still had an amazing experience. They have a large selection of water toys. We did the paddle boards, clear canoe & snorkeled over the coral. But you can also kayak or get a ride on a banana boat. They also set up a volleyball net. They pull a large platform barge with seating so you can rest or just enjoy sunbathing. The catamaran is shaded & spacious with plenty of tables for seating. There are bathrooms & changing rooms on board. They fed us a turkey/ham sandwich on a croissant with chips & pineapple and they provide water & punch anytime you need it. I felt like we could bring our entire family including all ages from grandparents to small kids. There is something for everyone. We saw a massive turtle & a sting ray. Even though our day was cloudy the crew still made it a blast! They were fun to hang out with & the live band was AMAZING! I usually don’t redo excursions that I’ve already done, but I would definitely book this tour every time I visit Oahu!

The crew was very helpful and made our experience a memorable one. We had a great time snorkeling, canoeing, and tubing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun day out in the water.

A fun adventure riding a mule through the valley. Really cool tour guides to give lots of information of the surrounding area, the ranch, and the movies filmed there.

It was a fun snorkeling cruise. The crew was friendly and attentive. Food served for breakfast and lunch was delicious. We will do it again!

The ultimate package gave us 3 tours and lunch! We loved the Aloha Aina tour, learning about the land the plants, birds and all the agriculture. We enjoyed the hawaiian snacks, learning about the taro, the fish ponds and raising oystes and shrimp. The Hollywood movie tour had fun learning about different movies filmed on the ranch. The Jungle tour was awesome for the views and historical Hawaiian stories of how the ranch came to be what it is today! LUNCH was yummy! Each guide was very informative and always safety first oriented.. Thank you Kualoa Ranch !

This place is amazing. It was a birthday surprise gift for a huge Jurassic Park fan and We really enjoyed our visit. Looking forward to seeing more of it in the future.

Everything went very smoothly. Our crew was wonderful & very helpful. I had trouble getting into the boat after climbing the ladder & Trevor was so kind to help me in the boat. We had a wonderful time. The Manta Ray experience will be hard to top! So great of them to share pictures they had taken from below!

What else can you ask for: Very Nice and Clean Boat, Best Food and Best Crew. First time in a sand bar and snorkeling with lots of turtles is really worth it.
Come and try them out. If you want to see lots of turtles then you need to join them.

You will love them and I will definitely join them again on my next trip to Hawaii.

Hands down we feel we got the best experience exploring Kualoa Ranch (Yes, better than the ATVs!). The bikes made the whole travel effortless and SO FUN. We got to go on bike-only trails that are continuing to be developed and took us deeper. Not to mention, we also got to stop and see more than the ATVs. Our guide was the best! We hope to return again once they are complete with the expanded trail!

Our favorite activity! The crew was outstanding and took very great care in all participants! Definitely take advantage of it all - the volleyball, the turtle watching and the snorkeling!
