Hawaii
The luau was amazing. The food was excellent, the dancers were incredibly talented, and we had the best time. It was the best part of our vacation and is an experience that will last a lifetime. Must do if you’re in Maui!!
They guys were awesome! It was a great first parasailing experience ever!
We took our three boys (ages 8, 6, and 3) on this during our first visit to Maui and overall, really enjoyed ourselves. The host was witty and funny, even if he's likely reusing the same jokes over and over. Understandably, it doesn't appear as colorful as you'd expect because of how the lighting changes things through the windows, but it was a really unique experience. I would say happy we did it once, but wouldn't do it again.
To be honest, the only thing that really disappointed me was knowing that the sunken ship was completely staged for the submarine tours. It didn't feel authentic.
Pros - we got to see a lot of marine life! Sharks included. And the boatride to/from the submarine was really nice and the kids were pretty blown away when the submarine first popped up.
Great job to the tour guides and staff!
This zip line tour was awesome! Our guides Cody and Myles were so cool!!! They were funny, knowledgeable and so informative. They made our experience unforgettable. We will definitely come back and request them as our guides. Thanks guys for an awesome experience!
Bumpy trail be weary, however beautiful jungle scenery!
Great day, I love to get a deeper understanding of what we went through.
The night manta ray snorkel was sooooo cool!! We saw many manta rays and the guides were very helpful with information.
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Kona!
The show was great, everyone was welcoming. Plenty of food and drinks and the staff was great!
We had Jonah as our tour guide, and it was a fantastic experience! We were picked up from the front of our hotel and shared a van with two other couples, which was nice. Jonah immediately began telling us all about local buildings and other factoids as we drove to our first location. All of the locations were a lot of fun, but the stand out was the sea turtles. We were able to stay there a bit longer than planned and enjoy the several wild sea turtles who were swimming by and beginning to climb onto the sand. Everyone had a blast taking pictures of this, and Jonah was clearly enjoying himself as well and made sure to point out other turtles he saw for us to get a full experience! 10/10 would recommend!
Hello Phil,
Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you had a good time yesterday. The turtles were definitely out yesterday. Today, there wasn’t as much. I hope you had a good time with your diving and hope you guys enjoy the rest of your stay out here.
Much Mahalo
Jonah
The views are just breathtaking! Lani, the tour guide, was a friendly and joyful spirit.
We had some much fun doing this adventure. We would go on this again! The guide's information about the tour and surrounding area were funny and informative. A must do if your in Kauai!
The Fern Grotto cruise was nice and relaxing, plus the description of sites along way was interesting. we had a couple in our group that was actually married in the Grotto back in the day. Kewl!
Our family enjoyed the sandbar. We went in the morning and the water on the sandbar is about 2 feet high, perfect for my 8 yr. old. We did snorkeling, paddle boat, and kayaking. There are buoys that set the limits of the sandbar so you don't go to the deep parts. The guides are everywhere and very helpful if you happen to be drifting outside of the sandbar. This is more kid-friendly than the Ko Olina snorkeling where the water is about 30 feet deep. The guides and crews on both activities are super friendly and helpful.
I had a very nice time. The music on the boat was the best part. You can bring snacks and alcohol so don't forget to bring a cooler of goodies. The snorkeling was fun but kinda boring to just paddle around in circles on a kayak. Overall, it was a very fun day in the sun.

Due to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, Japanese tourists stopped coming, and they switched to English tours in 2019. However, the guide was Japanese, so if you have any questions during the several breaks, you can ask in Japanese and they will kindly explain. The guide engages with you. I was able to properly learn about the constellations for the first time. It was fun.

武漢コロナパンデミックで日本人が来なくなって、2019年に英語ツアーに変えたそうです。ただしガイドは日本人だったので、わからなかったところは途中休憩が数回あるので、その際に日本語で聞けば丁寧に教えてもらえます。ガイドが話しかけてくれる。星座の説明はじめてちゃんと教えてもらえた。楽しかった。
So fun! The price is well worth all the memories! All staff were wonderful. Donuts were a huge plus. So glad we booked with them and would definitely pick this activity again on our next visit.
We went on the afternoon tour. Weather was perfect. It was cool to go to the sandbar. They feed you lunch right as you board, it was fresh and good. Pineapple was great. Music was nice and whole crew were caring and friendly. They let you bring your own masks but do not allow full face masks. I was not 100% comfortable putting my mouth on something so many others used although they do bleach them. I hate drinking salt water using that type of snorkel gear. Even though it’s not regulated by the company it was still disappointing. Also the water was 4-5 feet deep. They also insisted on babes in arms wear a life jacket and our little grandson wouldn’t tolerate the jacket although he loves water. So I would say this is not a very good choice for very little children. My daughter hardly got a chance to do anything or enjoy much of the afternoon. At least the boat was a nice refuge. Feel like I paid a lot for a sandwhich, boat ride, and dip in the ocean. I could’ve snorkeled on the beach using my own gear (which I have ) for less. The floating raft with couches was nice and I saw a few fish snorkeling after I caved and used their gear. I feel like this is kind of a tourist trap for the money. I’m spite of all that we had a fun afternoon.
It was a beautiful evening on Mana Kai Catamaran out of Waikiki beach. We liked that it was BYOB and enjoyed the music played during the sailing. Please just note that this catamaran does leave right from the beach rather than a dock so plan accordingly. We had a great time though!
Loved the catamaran ride the most friendly staff when they tell you your going to get wet sitting on the front they are not kidding but I loved it Those free drinks not watered down like most other places
This was a super fun activity! The catamaran was amazing and had lots of space despite being full. The crew was sooo attentive, you never had to ask for a refill. They were also super nice and communicative. They played awesome music, and timed the trip back with the sunset perfectly. I was with a group of about 10 and we had an amazing time!
We had a ball Definitely book for good vibes and good Views. The crew aswell was very cool
Sunset cruise was outstanding. The crew was very attentive with drinks / food / pictures etc…. The food was very good and a good mix of items and everyone enjoyed. Highly recommend!
Mahalo!
It’s so beautiful and remember to do the banana boat or bumper tubes. An unforgettable experience with great live music. The water feels amazing I recommend snorkeling.
This was our first time for this excursion and our family loved it. Especially riding the banana boat. This was one of our highlights here in Hawaii. The staff were very helpful in everything.
Our guide Jonah was bloody awesome. The bloke could be a part time real estate agent! Chilled as too. His ring tone - soundtrack to Magnum PI should be Hawaii's anthem.
The minibus was clean and looked fairly new - no mucking about. Jonah had his headset so all the peeps in the backseat could hear his valuations of properties, which doughnut vans and food trucks to eat at, movies and tv shows filmed in Hawaii and places of interests. He struck a pose better than Madonna when she first donned the headset.
Lunch was at a massive gathering of food trucks. Superb tucker! Huli Huli Chicken is a must, as well as the garlic prawns (shrimps, for you Yankies) at The Bald Guy - all recommended by Jonah - he's been there done them all - how does he keep that figure?
I won't spoil it too much - we got to see turtles swimming in less than a metre away from you (3 feet) as well.
Anyway, I highly recommend this tour - avoid the bloody big buses and have an intimate one with Jonah - he's an absolute bloody legend - nuf said!
Hello Bloody Ripa,
Thank you so much for the review. I had fun talking with you and your family out here. Da Bald Guy is one of the favorites but I don’t eat it to much to keep my figure. I got to stay away from those delicious malasadas. I hope you enjoyed your time in Hawaii and hope you got to find some good sushi out here. Hopefully next time you come to Hawaii, we will have some grass tennis courts for you. Thank you for the review and maybe one day I’ll visit Australia sometime.

I really think this is one of the best tours offered on Oahu. They provide you with 4 hours on the water on the most beautiful side of Oahu, offer free pickup and drop off to Waikiki, provide lunch and refreshments, and sell beer and wine all day long! We had a great time drinking some beers, playing volleyball at the sandbar, relaxing in the water, and snorkeling at the coral reef. I saw 3 huge eels, and 2 giant puffers and we also saw a dozen turtles around the boat during the duration of the tour. Also, every crew member was so helpful and kind. They were engaging with everyone, helping everyone out every chance they could, and just overall had great energy on the boat which creates an even better tour. We really enjoyed it! Mahalo for everything!
Had a wonderful time! Everyone of the crew was an absolute pleasure! They were very knowledgeable and so nice. I would highly recommend. It was very family friendly.
The tour was nothing to write home about. The captain had corny jokes; from the boat, you couldn’t see anything but the hau trees that lined the river; once you get to the grotto, it’s a pretty view but you’re 50-100yards from the cave entrance. The family sang but with all the people there, you could barely hear.
The taxi ride from Poipu was $70 each way. Add that to the cost of 2 tickets($60), this tour was not worth $200. Had we been located closer to the harbor, we might have been able to justify the cost.
It was an amazing experience. We enjoyed every second of it. From seeing dolphins, sea turtles, the breath taking views and snorkeling. Also, the ride back was a lot if fun!!!
The location of the airport was a short drive from the hotel. The airport waiting lobby was crowded, and if you’re not careful, you might miss the announcement for your helicopter. During the flight, there were only Japanese passengers, and the explanations were not bilingual in English and Japanese, which made the information plentiful and fulfilling. It was very lucky that there were no explanations in both languages, as that can be tiring. The course and flight time were excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the erupting Hawaii Island. However, I was a bit anxious because there was little time until the taxi back, and the USB with the flight video wasn't ready.
ホテルから飛行場の場所は少し車で走りました。飛行場の待合ロビーは混雑しており、注意していないと乗るべきヘリ案内を聞き逃しそうです。
フライト中は、日本人だけで英語と日本語のバイリンガルの説明ではなかったので、情報量も十分で充実したものとなりました。英語と日本語の説明だと疲れるので、とてもラッキーでした。コース、フライト時間も申し分なく、噴火しているハワイ島を堪能しました。帰りのタクシーまでの時間が少なく、フライト映像のUSBが書き上がらず、ハラハラしましたが。
