All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We really loved our tour guide Patrick he was so knowledgeable and so informative also very friendly very helpful and funny! I had. no idea how amazing this tour would be he not only took us to Pearl Harbor but he showed us points of interest in the city on our way there and recommended many local restaurants!! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone and I would definitely do it again! The bus was air-conditioned, extremely comfortable and even had a restroom.
It was the perfect amount of time I recommend doing the Arizona and the Missouri and don’t forget to take cash so you can tip the driver because he is definitely worth it!

Incredible views of the ocean, mountains and valley. Interesting to be able to see all of the movie that have been filmed at kualoa ranch over the years. Our tour guide was awesome and enlightened us with lots of fun knowledge about the island.

In Waikiki, there are a lot of tours to choose from but I think we picked the best one. I loved the fact that we had the ability to bring our own drinks and food since we had a few picky eaters in our group. Our captain(s) were very helpful and kept a lively ship. Even my dad who was apprehensive about the whole thing ended up loving it. This cruise was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawai'i.

This private snorkel tour was 100% worth the money. A private pontoon boat with many amenities, including snacks, drinking water, water sport toys and others were all provided. Captain Kokua could not have been friendlier and showed us a lot to see in the area. The sandbar of course was beautiful and a huge highlight of the trip.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a beautiful, fun, living museum. Pacific Island Native people use songs and traditional dances to tell the stories of their culture. They have reverence for the Islands and also have fun showing the beauty and fun of their heritage. We visitors are referred to as “Family”. We are made to feel very welcome and are invited to participate in crafts, dance and games with the Island people. The Buffett and the show are wonderful. Thank you!!!

This tour was amazing!! Our two guides made us seem so welcome and they make sure you have plenty of alcohol to enjoy your time on the boat! I highly recommend wearing a swimsuit - if you want to enjoy the front of the boat with the best views you will get completely drenched, but that was our favorite part! 10/10, would do again for sure!

Trinity and Roxy where amazing. Very informational tour around the whole ranch. Feeding the cows was a plus. Being able to have a picnic at the top with amazing views is just the best.

Ok, this is honestly one of the best tours I have ever taken. The van was super comfy, and our guide Arthur was informative, friendly, and honestly just plain fun! Obvious he LOVES this tour.

Words just cannot describe the beauty of this tour. From the drive up, to the spectacular sunset, to the jaw dropping star gazing......endless beauty. Plus, Arthur made sure we stayed safe, and kept us informed about what we should do and what to expect. I felt comfortable and at ease.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this amazing experience. If you do one thing on the Big Island......do this.

Tao Luau is the best outstanding food. Staff are friendly and welcoming

The crew of Alii Nui was incredible! They treated us like royalty while aboard their vessel. From the delicious breakfast and lunch with open bar, to the sunscreen and fresh towels, to the cooling eucalyptus towel and sunglass cleaner upon arrival back to port, they thought of every detail. I’ve never seen a crew work so hard as a team and make it look effortless, all with a smile and servant attitude and total engagement. Truly a pleasure meeting each of you. And the snorkeling was absolutely beautiful! We saw turtles and beautiful fish of all kinds. Captain Trent was so knowledgeable and knew the best places to go to see the beauty but avoid the crowds. And Savannah, thank you for capturing the underwater photos of us that we wouldn’t have been able to get. Thank you so much for the amazing day! I highly recommend this excursion!!

So much fun an great service! The food was really good too!

We were fortunate enough to have had a new moon and clear sky up on Haleakalā back in September. We had breathtaking views of Milky Way, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Andromeda galaxy, and much more thanks to our amazing guide, Yoshi! Yoshi brought us a box of donuts and served us hot tea throughout the night. We were a bit fearful of driving down from the summit in the dark, but Yoshi led the way and made us feel very safe. This was easily one of our most memorable experiences during our visit to Maui and highly recommend it!

My number one goal while in Hawaii was to see a sea turtle in the wild and boy did this trip deliver! There were about a dozen sea turtles right where we jumped in the water and would come close and just hang out. It was truly incredible! The boat crew were awesome and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Enjoyed the entertainment and atmosphere. The staff was very pleasant and checked on us multiple times to see if we needed anything.

Captain on cruise was very informative and relaxed. He made the cruise more enjoyable. The young man who sang had excellent humor and a great voice for the songs he sang. The ladies were doing their job. Hula was beautiful and graceful

Our captain was knowledgeable and very helpful. The water was perfect just a little choppy. She guided us to snorkeling area and we also saw turtles. Loved it

We were not able to attend, one in our group was ill. Unfortunately, no alternate dates were offered so we lost our money. We were fortunate that some of the other excursions we booked were willing to accommodate changes.

Cousin G was awesome! We had a great day. The morning activity we chose snorkeling. Unfortunately for others, the falls were closing on Monday’s starting THAT day due to covid restrictions, so everyone had to do snorkeling. Had some food from shrimp truck, it was okay. We stopped at a macadamia nut and coffee tasting place, that was really cool. We did kayaking for our afternoon activity- not a lot of shade so definitely bring sunscreen or wear a long sleeve top, we roasted on the river. Then we stopped in town. Was a great day on the north shore, thanks again cousin g!

We did a sunset cruise with another boat but we strongly preferred this one! Our crew was all girls which I thought was amazing!! Amy was great. The drinks were good and they even offered snacks for the kids that were on the boat. It was a nice morning cruise and I recommend to anyone! And they let you go on the netting on this boat, unlike another one I went on.

This sunset cruise was fun! Lots of options to drink- beer, wine, white claws, Mai Tais. The Mai tais were alright. The sunset was beautiful. A guy coming off the one before us said “I don’t know if I’m sea sick or drunk”

This experience was amazing!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and we can't stop talking about how cool this experience was.

We got to see BIG and BEAUTIFUL mantarays and they were really close too.

The guys from the crew were also super nice, funny and told us lots of interesting facts about the marine life.

The dolphin tour was so crowded and even though the guide was friendly and the people were very friendly there were just too many. Many people didn’t actually get to see the dolphins in the water and were being kicked with fins because of how crowded it was. We will not be doing that again unless there are less people.

What an amazing adventure to go on! Hop on in the water and the sharks come to you! It’s amazing you can even see other creatures if they come near too!

It was fun to attempt to surf. The teacher was very nice and patient

This was such an awesome experience! The sunset was beautiful being that high up and the stargazing was amazing. It was our favorite experience on the island. Our guide Gage was so great! He was so knowledgeable on the island, the history there and the stargazing. He also helped us feel comfortable and safe on the drive up and back down. We highly recommend this experience!

This was a very cool and unique tubing experience down the ditches of a former sugar plantation. The staff are fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable, including Laki and crew. You will experience views the island that you can not see otherwise. A must do for those who have not done it before. There are five tunnels you pass through along the way. Do not expect a lot of sun time. It was a very fun time.

We booked this trip for our last full night in Waikiki, but unfortunately, it was the only cloudy day of our week.

However, that didn't stop us from having a really good time. The drinks were flowing and the crew was incredible. We had some great conversations with them and other people on the trip.

I think this tip was one of the highlights of our trip and we would definitely recommend it.

While we enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center overall, this day was entirely too long for our taste. There really wasn't much to do at the center to fill up our time, so we just sitting around waiting for the Luau dinner. And, the gift shop is on the other side of the entrance, so we couldn't even shop to kill time, which we would have loved to do.

The Luau was delicious, especially the welcome drink in the pineapple. And, the show was fantastic, but we were tired of being there all day.

So, if you want to waste a full day in paradise with not much to do, then this is the excursion for you.

The Smith Family grounds were beautiful from the moment you walk in. Everything was so visually appealing and everyone was so nice. They take you around the entire grounds in a trolley so you can see everything beforehand. Plus you have time to walk around after the trolley ride. We enjoyed it all even the rain, the unveiling of the pig ceremony, the dinner entertainment, the explanation of the luau dance moves, the Smith Family, the dinner, and the luau show. We would definitely return. I believe it is a must see, especially for those who have never been to the Smith Family Luau before. Keep up the great work Smith family.

Relatively on-time schedule, and easy to find the meeting spot.
The tour was well organized with a good size of the crews and customers for the price. The boat is steady and clean, very nice to stay for 5 hours.
The captain was very experienced and he made the boat ride so fun by how he explains things, how he operates the boat, and how he interacts with the customers. He is very respectable and friendly.
The crews are also very informative! They shared so many stories of Hawaii myth, how they grew up in Kauai, and how wonderful nature is.

I am very glad that we did a boat tour to see the Napali Coast. I hiked several trails along the coast and took a flight tour as well. All the views have different looks. I loved that I could get to do snorkel with the boat tour, I swam with so many fish and turtles.
