Hawaii
Overall a great experience worth the money to go 10000ft above Waikiki. The crew were professional, but really friendly and help to boost the mood. They are hilarious and really try to get to know you better. Do note that photos by the crew cost an additional 30 dollars.
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. The adventure began about 7 AM, on time, and we were shuttled to the boat in a small dinghy with the boarding of the small shuttle being an interesting and fun experience. The captain and crew provide everything that is needed to have a great time including snorkel and mask and fins. Wetsuit tops are available. Flotation devices were available if needed. In fact it is best not to bring too much equipment since boarding the dinghy may cause some of your belongings to get a bit wet. Willow, the captains mate, gave us a safety talk and off we went on our adventure to Lanai. The two dive spots were wonderful. We were able to do some spectacular whale watching on our way to the dive spots and on our return trip. Snacks and drinks were perfect. All in all this was a well run adventure and one of the high points of the trip was Willow with her bubbly personality and friendly demeanor. My spouse and I recommend this trip highly for both experienced snorkelers and beginners. At the end of the journey we left a well-deserved gratuity since we were so impressed with the entire operation. We are sure that, if you take this trip with Kaanapali ocean adventures, you will be thrilled with the entire experience just as we were. As a final note, the adventure begins early in the morning. There is parking available at every hotel that is free and is identified as “beach access parking“. There are only about 20 spots available at each hotel but, since the adventure begins so early in the morning, we had no trouble finding these free parking spots. If you park in the parking structure the cost of a days worth of parking is around $40. In addition, the organization will send a text the day before the trip to inform you of items you need to bring and specific instructions on where to meet.
Travis was fantastic during our trip up Mauna Kea. His knowledge and presentation made it interesting and insightful. He personally took the extra time to make sure the adventure was complete. We even had snow, something unexpected for travelers to Hawaii.
The team was super friendly & nice ! Our GoPro wasn’t working when it became time to get in the water so one of the team members let us use theirs w/ a small fee. Totally worth it ! Highly recommend we seen soooo many sharks & fish !
An amazing experience! It’s so well organized and they give you all the information you need to have an amazing time! It’s a wonderful experience and the crew is fantastic! Hanging out at the Sandbar is a unique experience, and as an added bonus, saw lots of turtles and lots of beautiful fish! Absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about it!
Excellent pageantry and making educational entertainment fun for the whole family that includes history of the various South Pacific tribes together with an excellent orchestra, singing and an outstanding master of ceremonies. The buffet food was fine but you go here to enjoy a majestic recreation of Hawaiian tradition!
How could you not do this tour? I was amazing and well worth a day away from the beach.
Thank you Mary K for sharing this. We are ecstatic to hear that you enjoyed your tour. Mahalo for joining us!
The crew made it so fun. We had kids and adults and it was appropriate for everyone!
Our tour guide was amazing! The scenery was breath taking. What a great way to spend 2.5hrs. We will be back.
These folks are awesome! They made every second fun and were very safe with everything they did. We had our 1 year old son with us who does great adventuring. They made sure it was east for us and that we all had a good time. They were also so careful to protect the coral and wildlife at the sandbar.
By far one of the best tours I’ve ever done! Only regret is realizing I accidentally signed up for UTV rather than ATV, but none to worry as it was still amazing.
The crew for Aqua Adventures was spectacular. I'm disabled, I can walk with a brace but mainly use a wheelchair. They helped me on to the boat and carried my chair on to the boat. They made sure I was included in every activity, including the bonus whale sightings we have seen. One crew member helped me get fin on and off each time and made sure that I was able to find the turtles during the coral city visit. The captain was upbeat and had wonderfully bad jokes but made sure everyone knew exactly was going on and safe in their Adventures. The food was great too!
Great excursion; it fit perfectly into our last day on the Hawaiian Islands. The crew was great. Matt, Jeff and Jay were very accommodating helping celebrate our mom's 80th birthday!
Highly recommend the 2 hour tour! So many beautiful views of the property, and the tour guides were able to answer any question I had!
We had a great time on the sunset cruise! It was a beautiful night to be out on the water and the staff were very kind.
The experience was amazing. A big ray came so close touched my elbow.
Fairly new boat. Open bar with beer and cocktails. The crew served you as much as you want. The sail was 2hrs. It was mostly powered. They did open up a small sail in the front which was cool. They served a Kalua pork sandwich. The sandwich could have been warmer. The sunset was beautiful and it was worth the money to see that from on the ocean.
If you are looking for a sunset cruise, choose this one. My family (all adults) had a blast! We loved that this was a smaller catamaran. Crew is fabulous & the music was great. Definitely would go again.
Hawaiian Eyes and our guide, Stefan were awesome to the nth degree. Funny, friendly, helpful, prepared, photographic prowess, and he even stopped to help an elderly woman, not attached to any tour, after she collapsed at the side of the road in a snow bank, due to altitude sickness. First aid training, oxygen tanks, blankets, and past experience likely saved her life.
Our tour got cancelled the day of so we only took the ferry over then hung out at the beach We really wanted to see the shipwreck beach, cat sanctuary and Lanai City, it would have been nice to have seen more of the island .
Great staff- super friendly and accommodating. Lunch was good and the few locations we stopped at were so nice! A definite MUST
I had my whole family out, and it was great for everyone. We have been on a few sunset cruises. This one takes the Cake. Was great for my whole family, including my 18 month old daughter. We saw plenty of whales, the service on the boat was on par with a private charter. I would highly recommend this one.. Aloha!
We really enjoyed ourselves on our cruise. The captain and crew were amazing and incredibly attentive. It was a choppy night on the ocean but they made it fun and it helped to take our minds off of it. We even spotted a few whales on our trip. We highly recommend!
Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Pau Hana Sunset Cruise. We're so happy to read that despite the choppy ocean conditions, you enjoyed your cruise and your interactions with our Captain and crew. We know there are a lot of activity providers on the island and we're honored you chose to both join us and to recommend us!
Mahalo and a hui hou!
I would highly recommend this tour of all the snorkeling tours. This is very good for swimmers and non swimmers as the water level is only about 4ft near the sandbar. There is a beautiful coral reef that swimmers can go. The instructors are very helpful for non swimmers as they take them personally to show the turtles.
Aloha and thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review of yours. Your review is greatly appreciated and we hope to see you again. Mahalo!
Had a great time on our tour! The guides were excellent and the view is unmatched! I would do this again in a heart beat! I would recommend this to anyone!
We had an awesome time! The crew was very friendly and helpful. They made some wicked drinks too! We will definitely do this cruise again when our family and friends visit again next time.
Everything was amazing everyone made the best out of it even though it was raining.
This tour was amazing and one of the best I’ve been on. The entire staff was very attentive and happy. I will definitely be back.
This tour is very popular, so make your reservation early! I was planning to stay in Hawaii for two weeks, so I thought it would be fine to book after arriving, but it turned out that this was the only day available. I really wanted to go on this tour, so I was glad I could make it.
Since I planned to rent a car that day, I signed up without transportation and ended up starting with the next group after arriving a bit late. For two hours, we toured filming locations from LOST, Godzilla, King Kong, and Jurassic Park. You can see the ocean, but we didn't go to the beach.
The guide explained about Kualoa Ranch in a loud voice, so it was easy to hear. The horses were very well trained, so I felt safe riding them.
If you book on-site, it can be a bit cheaper, but considering the reservation situation, it's definitely necessary to book in advance.
It was a satisfying two hours. There are small souvenir shops and a restaurant on-site. They took photos at the beginning of the tour, and when we returned, I think they were available for purchase for about $20.
大変人気のツアーなので、お予約は早めに！
ハワイには2週間滞在する予定だったので、到着してからの予約でいいやと思っていたら、もうこの日しかないって現状でした。絶対に行きたいツアーだったのでよかったです。
レンタカーを借りる予定の日だったので、送迎なしで申し込み、少し遅れてしまい次のグループからスタートしました。2時間、LOST、ゴジラ、キングコングやジュラシックパークなどの撮影を巡っていきます。海は見えるだけでビーチは行きません。
ガイドは大きな声でクアロアランチの説明をしてくれるので、聞き取れます。馬はすごくトレーニングされていて安心して乗馬可能でした。
現地申し込みだともう少し安くできますが、予約状況など含めると絶対に事前予約必須です。
満足のいく2時間でした。
小さなお土産やさん、レストラン併設。ツアー最初に写真を撮ってくれて、最後戻ってきたら20ドルくらいだったかな購入可能

In December, I signed up with transportation included. I thought the ocean conditions would vary daily due to the tides. It was mentioned that there would be wetsuits on the boat, but there were none available. Inside the boat, there were tea, chips, and apples available for free.
When we arrived at the sandbar, the captain explained in English that we should not go behind the boat. In December, the water was quite cold, so it wasn't comfortable to stay in for long. We were brought back to the boat once for a snorkeling briefing. Personally, I think if they had explained it first, we wouldn't have had to come back up. It was too cold for me to go in a second time.
After the experience, I asked a local, and they said that due to climate change, the sea level has risen, making it rare for sandbars to form in recent years. At 148 cm tall, the water was just deep enough for me to stand. There were life jackets available. I felt that for this price, we could have done diving instead.
12月、送迎付きで申し込みました。海の状況は、満ち引きがあるため、コンディションは、日々違うと思って参加。
船内にウエットスーツがあると書いてありましたが、置いておらず。
船内にはお茶や、チップス、リンゴが置いてあります、自由に頂くことが可能です。
サンドバーに着いたら、船長より英語で船より後ろに行ってはいけないなどの説明があります。12月、水はかなり冷たいのでずーっと入ってられるという感じではありませんでした。途中で一回船に戻されて、シュノーケルの説明があります。個人的に、最初に説明すれば一度上がることなかったのになぁと思います。寒いから2回目入ることができませんでした。
体験後、現地の方に伺いましたが、温暖化の影響で海水量が増え、近年、サンドバーになる事は稀だそうです。身長148センチの私は、足がやっと着くくらいの深さでした。ライフジャケットはあります。この料金なら、ダイビングができたなぁと感じました。
Thank you for choosing our Captain Bruce's Heaven on the Sea Tour among many options. We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations. Regarding the wetsuits, due to hygiene concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were available by reservation only, and we regret that this information was not communicated effectively, causing you inconvenience. We aim to improve our tour content and services to ensure your satisfaction, regardless of weather conditions and other factors, and we hope you will visit us again in the future.
