Hawaii
The sail itself was very windy and bumpy for most of the trip. You definitely had to hold on to the rail or be sitting. There were even a few times the people in the front caught a wave and got pretty wet. With that being said you are in a boat in the ocean so this was expected. It did however make it difficult to take advantage of the drinks offered ;). Overall the sail was fun :) and the best parts were the views and the staff was awesome.
Picked up right on the beach. We drove in from north shore and parked in the garage across the street. The boat ride was 10ish minutes to the canyon. Had at least a full hour in the water. There were 7 or 8 turtles right there the whole time. Tons of fish. A few minutes after we got there a few other tours showed up and there were a lot more people but still enough space for all tours. The crew was awesome. This was the best tour we booked this week.
We chose to drive ourselves. Easy drive from the North Shore. The sand bar is a unique feature but not particularly exciting. The reef layer in the day was what made the day. Lots of fish and a few turtles swimming around. There weren’t other tours with boats on top of us loaded with people either.
What a great intimate Polynesian experience! The luau was the highlight of our trip. Our host, Bill, was awesome, as well as Chris, who shared how they cook and serve their traditional meals. Beautiful and exciting dancing. The food was delicious. We really felt the Ohana spirit! Highly recommend!
Aloha Joni and mahalo for giving us a great review. We are happy to know that our luau was the highlight of your trip. Bill, Chris, and everyone at Toa Luau would love to see you guys again soon and enjoy the food and performances the second time around. God Bless!
It was our first time Horseback riding. My family and I had a very memorable time thanks to Gunstock ranch.
The seas were a little rough which they obviously couldn’t help but the service was awesome!! It was a lot of fun!!! Had a blast!
BK was an awesome host. He did a great job of narrating while driving safely.
He also kept a very clean restroom on the bus.
Thanks BK!
This tour was so much fun!!!! The guys were very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable
I would highly recommend no cage. I would be lying if I said I was not nervous. SO MUCH FUN
Our family enjoyed the boat ride. It was about 15 min away. The staff was wonderful. I was able to see only two turtles and some fish. That was very cool. The current was a bit strong at times. Glad the staff helped me with their surf boards.
My three kids ages: 4,5,8, had a hard time swimming because the current was a bit strong so they were only in the water for about 5 minutes. The goggles & snorkel equipment were too big for the toddlers. Next time we will pack ours. We did pack the vests for the kids but they do have some available.
They did see some turtles over the surface. Great weather. We did the 2 pm tour. Make sure to pack some nausea medicine, some folks felt very sick.
We liked being able to bring our own food & drinks.
My boyfriend and I and our two friends had the best time! Snorkeling was amazing and we had a blast on the catamaran ride! The whole crew was so friendly and helpful and made us feel so comfortable! Would 100% come back again!
Michael was the perfect host/guide/photographer! He is full of knowledge about Hawaii history, geography, flora, and fauna, AND was the perfect complement to an amazing natural display of light. My family (wife and two adult kids) highly recommend.
It was an awesome experienced from all of us! Kids enjoyed the snorkeling so much that we did it again in Hanauma Bay. It’s highly recommended for vacationers. Must to do list if you’re in Oahu Island!
This was our first excursion for our trip to Hawaii and let me just say… it was an AMAZING start!!! We had a rainy day for this but it added to the experience!! Muddy roads and heavy rain it was so much fun! Our guide coojay (probably isn’t how it’s spelled) was amazing, so funny and I would definitely be back just for him!! It was a great experience overall!! Such a must do!
Perfect place for a family to enjoy their day! My wife, me and my two boys 9 and 5, had a blast riding the ATV. We took the 2 hour tour and our instructor was the best! Don't miss this experience, we all loved it, just be prepared for getting a little dirty from the front ATV’s dust. Highly recommend it!
My husband and I took our 15yr old son. We enjoyed the food, good portions and several options were available. The show was fascinating, and the performers were enjoying themselves which made the show even better. Would highly recommend.
Oh my goodness this tour was amazing !!! The scenery, the epic movie that we’re filmed at the sites and some of the props were left behind! I have to tip our hats off to our instructor I believe her name was Dani. She made our trip what it was. She was so full of energy and information. The drive was so peaceful and amazing and you really see the true roots of Hawaii on this tour. I can’t put into words how amazing this was and how every person visiting Hawaii should go on this UTV Tour ! Blew our minds. Me and my boys really enjoyed it.
They were all really good in giving u info
N helpful. Thanks again guys keep up the good work
It was an incredible and amazing experience!! Words can’t explain how great everything was
The staff were super friendly and provided interesting information about Hawaiian culture. The first few lines warm you up to the last two, which are a 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile respectively. Both of the last two lines go over a gorge and the last one provides an incredible view to a waterfall. Overall, this was definitely worth it.
We were having a great time on vacation and were looking forward to snorkeling and enjoying some drinks. The staff (specifically jay jay and Noah) were being very unprofessional. They weren’t treating us as if we were paying customers. At first we tried to excuse it as they were being goofy. Then we heard Noah say, “there’s jay jay back at it again,” and he had his phone out recording a video directed towards my girlfriends butt as she was trying to snorkel. This immediately made us feel uncomfortable. We confronted jay jay about it afterwards and he said he was filming Noah but that obviously felt like a lie. This unprofessional behavior brought a burden and discomfort to our vacation. We ended up not drinking as we both felt uncomfortable. We would like to be refunded.
Overall, awesome experience! After reading reviews, I was super nervous about the validity of this site, especially considering that this site was able to get me tickets to a Luau that was sold out on all other sites. I called the venue to be reassured that this was a real site, and they confirmed it's validity! We showed up to the luau, had an amazing experience, and had 0 complications! Def. recommended!
A heartfelt welcoming by the family team! Loved that they are down to earth, invoke conversation with you, dead serious about your safety and constantly staying vigil of your swim out with the sharks. They constantly checked in with you to see how you’re doing from riding to from on the boat, to swimming in the open ocean. It was great to see the sharks get up close to you to make you a bit alert but nothing I could say was dangerous and a close encounter. I will come back to them for sure!! Island view Shark Dive Tour will be the place I’ll be recommending others to go try. Thank you team for a spectacular experience for my son and I.
We had a blast on this tour. The crew, food and humor made this trip a memorable one. They were very helpful and had two lifeguards on standby to assist if needed.
It was an amazing snorkeling adventure. My husband and I have never gone snorkeling the crew was amazing. They were helpful and very funny. I suggest doing this. You get to see many different types of animals and sights
This was my first time snorkeling and it was amazing! My husband and I enjoyed so much and we want to do it again! The staff were so nice and friendly, I was having a hard time with the breathing technique and the crew was very helpful with teaching me how to do it properly. Thank you so much again! You guys are fantastic!
If you've never Kayaked with your spouse. Practice yelling at each other before the tour. Once you figure it out, you'll be glad you did it. Amazing views and swimming in the grotto of the waterfall is an amazing experience!!
Aloha Ke, We often say about paddling with your spouse, "Families that paddle together...pray together"> Glad you figure out the paddling stroke and enjoyed this beautiful area that is the Wailua River complex. Keep yelling, paddling and enjoying each other. A hui hou, Micco
We did this tour with 3 kids under 10 & they freaking loved it!!!! I mean it was a great tour, we got to drive ATV's & see some really amazing views. I would definitely do this again. If you are thinking of doing it dress appropriately. You will get dusty on this tour. My wife got 3 white matching Jurassic Park shirts for the boys. By the end of the trip they were a light brown lol. This is an open air ATV ride through an active ranch. You will get dirty so don't wear anything you don't want to get dusty. At the end of the tour you will be able to wash your selves, but if you're that kind of person, you may want to bring some baby wipes or something extra.
I booked this cruise while staying in Waikiki on a solo trip. The staff and captain are personable and efficient and the catamaran is modern and roomy. We cruised along the coast towards Diamond Head crater and then put the sails up for a jaunty ride in the open sea for about 10 minutes. Captain turned the boat around to enjoy picturesque sunset views and some cool tunes while sipping on the crew members own recipe Turtle Tini. There were a mix of couples and multi generational families and the staff was accommodating to everyone’s needs, even those who were a little green in the gills from sea sickness. Highly recommended, even if you’re by yourself!
The crew is super friendly and helpful. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip. The sandbar is beautiful and secluded. They are very helpful in snorkeling as well.
Tour guides were great, nice, and informative. Sadly did not see any manta rays on our cruise. They said this was highly unusual but still disappointing to not see any. They offered for us to go back on a future tour, but we were leaving the island and they do not offer any refunds.
