90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Catamaran drink cruise

Reviewed by: Bill Jaques

Absolutely Outstanding! From start to finish this was a blast. Great crew, friendly and fun! Dave, Amos and Noah were superb. Drinks were good, ice cold Coronas too! We got to go way out to see Diamond Head and then leisurely back in and watched the sun set! I highly recommend and I’ll do it again next time in Honolulu!

Enjoyed grabbing a seat on the top deck. The team did a great job getting people on and off the boat. Ride was smooth as we could get given the high winds. Great experience overall.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

False advertisement

Reviewed by: Julio C

First and foremost, I have to give a shout-out to Ramsey because he was great. The kayak and experience itself was complete garbage. I was under the impression that we’d be at this beautiful blue sandbar in a glass kayak seeing all these beautiful turtles and looking at the gorgeous sea life underneath us. Come to find out, we would be kayaking at a disgusting creek with dead turtles and the nastiest water I’d ever be in with bubbles included. I watched a YouTube video where they advertised this website with a person on a beautiful blue ocean looking at sealife with this glamorous glass kayak. Meanwhile, I get a hazy plastic kayak with dead turtles in a bubbling green creek. Worst case of false advertising that I’ve EVER come across. I had to quit the excursion early because I was so disgusted and disappointed. I would NOT recommend this trip to anyone. Complete waste of time and money

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, East Coast & Dole Plantation

Fun day with all the Hawaii must sees!

Reviewed by: Jill Castro

The day was perfect. It was an early start but I honestly couldn’t imagine doing Diamond Head any later. Bring water bottles or you’ll be thirsty! Then we got to stop at the Leonard’s bakery truck which is one of the must haves while you are here!! From there you make 7-8 stops at all the iconic beaches, food stops and more! Our tour guide was amazing. He wasn’t overly talkative which we all appreciated so we could have some conversation but he was super knowledgeable and told us some super awesome things about Hawaii and the local secrets! We decided as a group to skip the last beach because we were all beat from the full day but I would totally recommend anyone looking to see all the things while in Hawaii!!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Great day on the water!

Reviewed by: kp123

This was a great experience! We stayed in Waikiki and the pick-up and drop-off was amazing, especially at the end of the day since we were able to sleep on the shuttle home. Swimming around and playing volleyball on the sandbar was fun! The crew did a good job getting the passengers involved. After lunch we drove around and saw sea turtles before heading to the reef to snorkel. It was our first time snorkeling, but the crew was helpful making sure we were comfortable with the gear. We had a blast! Would definitely book this if you're looking to maximize your time with activities.

The river cruise was fantastic! Last time we did this was 2007. This June 2022, took my children and grandchildren and they had a good time. A little suggestion, maybe next time, take the cruise a little further down where at least we can get a glimpse of the water fall, that will be awesome!!!!

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, East Coast & Dole Plantation

Great full day adventure!

Reviewed by: The Sager’s

Our guide, John was awesome! We were picked up early in the morning for the Diamondhead hike. This hike I would consider moderate, and is a spectacular view of the city and naturescape of Waikiki/ Honolulu. We continued on to several stops around the island of Oahu that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to see as we didn’t rent a car for this trip. This full day adventure allows you to see many sites as well as learn about the region via a knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend!!

Hello Sagers,

This ranch was a well organized outfit from the start. We were picked up in a nice bus and given very good instructions for how the tour would proceed. The UTV’s were safe and only allowed 15 mph. The terrain was picturesque to say the least and our guides were fun and knowledgeable. Great tour!

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

A wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Vivian

Getting to see the scenery of Oahu from a boat was very beautiful, especially the sunset! I would definitely recommend this for those who just want to have a bit of fun, while enjoying the scenery. Ideally, it’s best if everyone was 21+ since you get free drinks from the moment you get on the boat. Something that I would like to advise is that it is quite windy once the boat departs from the shore so hold onto your hats or anything that may fly! Another thing is to get on/off the boat, you will have to step in the water momentarily so be prepared to take off your shoes and wear shoes that you’re okay getting a bit wet. Other than that, the staff who ran the whole thing was very awesome and nice!

  • the view of the sunset after finishing!

Lahaina Sunset Dinner Cruise w/ Live Music & Cocktails - Maui Princess [CLOSED]

A great night for a birthday celebration!

Reviewed by: Madi

The sunset dinner cruise was a very fun night. And of course, the ocean and views were so, soo beautiful. Dinner was pretty good. I had mahi-mahi with potatoes and carrots. Others in my party had some prime rib that was the better choice.
We had pleasant time all around!
1 note however, the boat was a little loud and looked a bit old and worn. But once the sun was setting and we had some drinks, none of that seemed to bother me anymore!

I definitely recommend!

Expeditions Lanai Ferry Boat Ticket from Maui | Round-Trip & One-Way Rides

Easy way to Lana’i

Reviewed by: Sherlocks

Fast and easy, comfortable seating, and on time. Ferry is large enough so the ride is smooth. Available times are convenient for an all day visit, or for a couple hours of snorkeling. Parking at Lahaina Harbor was not easy due to construction but we found a parking lot several blocks away. Our first visit to Lana’i…very laid back and pretty.

The crew on board was friendly and efficient. Safety of the passengers was a priority. Booking the ferry was fast and easy, and a change of dates was easily done by phone. Thanks for the ferry ride!

We definitely recommend this tour if you’re into any of the Jurassic movies! The highlight of this tour for my grandson was when he got to get down at the Indoraptor pen and actually go into the control booth! He had been waiting for this all week! The guide was wonderful and explained what we were seeing for those who didn’t have a dinosaur obsessed grandson like we did! My grandson actually kept the tour interesting with his comments and knowledge of the movies!

Kauai Beach Boys Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Surfing Ride

Loved our Outrigger ride!

Reviewed by: Bethany

We had a great instructor who was not only knowledgeable about the area and local wildlife, but he was great at working with our two kids, (11 and 16) about how to paddle, how to work as a team, and how to listen to his instruction. The looks on their faces when we 'surfed" the waves was priceless....made it worth every minute! This was also one of the more affordable activities in an area known for expensive prices, so that was great too.

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, East Coast & Dole Plantation

Hike and tour

Reviewed by: VVill

It was so worth it!!! We were glad that we took this tour, we had the chance to see how beautiful the view was from the top of Diamond Head. We sweat a lot but it was a good exercise early in the morning. We had multiple stops and saw a lot of stunning views. Our lunch stop was in an area with multiple food trucks. There’s a lot to choose from but it looks like Giovanni’s shrimp scampi is the most popular. No regret that we go with the hype as their shrimp was so tasty garnished with a good amount of garlic. Need more rice please lol. Stephanie our tour guide/ driver was so nice, she was very patient and seemed to really enjoy what she is doing. There’s so much pride in her when she is showing this area of Hawaii. Thank you Stephanie for your warm service.

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, East Coast & Dole Plantation

Diamond Head hike/North Shore

Reviewed by: MayV

It was just perfect to start our stay in Oahu with a familiarity of the area around our hotel from our guide Stephanie and proceeded to hike in Diamond Head. It was challenging to go up to the top but worth it to see the very nice view during sunrise. We were given enough time on this hike, so no need to rush. Our tour guide/driver Stephanie was very nice and informative. We were just a smaller group of 6, and so the tour became so friendly and personal. We made a lot of stops and took a lot of beautiful pictures.

I took my wife and 3 kids on this ATV tour. Keoki was our tour guide, and he did such a good job. What I really liked most about the tour were the different terrains we got to ride through. Keoki got everyone properly prepared for some of the thrills we'd encounter, and the kids weren't scared at all.
Overall, the kids rated it as their favorite day of our 10-day vacation.

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

Awesome Escape from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki

Reviewed by: Vickie

This was a fantastic tour. My husband and I are extremely pleased that we did not rent a car as suggested and do this tour on our own. There were only four of us on this tour so it was very intimate. Everything from the pick up to the drop off was great. All of the sites, including the very creatively named "Sandy Beach" were amazing to behold. The thing that made this tour special was our tour guide Stephanie. I loved learning the historical information and funny tidbits about the places that we visited, as well as some of the things that we saw on the way. Stephanie even laughed at some of my husband's not-so-funny jokes (bless you). Those are the types of things that add a little magic to your trip and what you miss when you rent a car and drive on your own.

Words of advice, bring cash for the food truck place that you will stop at for lunch. Also, I suggest finding a truck of the "main" part. We shared an absolutely amazing plate of food. We also had a lobster dog cause who could resist. Was worth the $12. Lastly, don't try to share a dole whip. They are sooo good, you will want your own. No need to wait in that line twice like we did.

Mahalo for a great day; great trip.
