All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The only complaint I have is in regards to the cocktails. We only received 1 each instead of the three as advertised.

The experience was superb. Very friendly staff. Good music and good times. Will definitely reserve again.

Awesome day spent with this tour! The sandbar and views were very beautiful. Lunch was very good, we had burgers which they cooked on the grill on the boat while we were hanging out at the sandbar, came with drinks and chips which was very filling. After we went turtle watching and saw SO many turtles, definitely more than 10! The kids were very excited to see them. Also saw many fishes at the snorkeling sight, tour guides were very helpful and safety was their number 1 priority.

This was a great tour to get to know the history of Kauai and see beautiful views. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun.

The boat ride was awesome but what really made it great was Kia! She made sure that everyone had a full drink at all times! The view was also very nice. I would definitely recommend.

This is an amazing excursion for any Hawaii traveler! We found the North Shore to be so laid back and peaceful. Our captain and first mate were so knowledgeable and friendly. They made the trip super chill. We always felt completely safe and the sharks were AMAZING. 10/10 recommend and would do again in a heartbeat. Bring a GoPro or something similar! Fellow divers on our tour brought a drone and the sharks' reactions to that was so cool!!

Both my husband and I really enjoyed this experience. It was a little rough in the beginning getting used to the waves and the cage up against the boat but once they release you a little it gets a lot easier. There were plenty of sharks and some other animals to check out while inside the cage. Definitely glad we did this.

This was an awesome snorkel trip! I have been on many throughout the years and this was by far the best. The staff was amazing and hilarious! They took us to cool spots, we saw turtles, and had amazing views. I liked that it was a small group of people. I would highly recommend this snorkeling trip to everyone I know!

Such a fantastic experience for someone whose never been snorkeling before. Great for beginners and family friendly! Rain comes and goes but the sandbar and the ocean was still warm and beautiful. I would like to thanks Trevor for helping me overcome my fear of the ocean overall. Lol. Without him I wouldn’t have gone beyond the sandbar. You rock!! I had the pleasure of seeing turtles, small colorful fishes, and of course the beautiful reef. Thank you Captain Bruce for such a great hospitality. I will definitely come back with a group of families in the near future!

First off, I would like to say thank you too Matt for being our tour guy! You’ve made it so much fun for me and my partner. We enjoyed every hurtles along the way lol. Every destination point we stopped at had a story behind the mountains and island. I thought Matt did an excellent job connecting the mountains history to us. The view was spectacular and it definitely took my breath away. I would highly suggest everyone to bring dusk shields or neckgaters to protect yourself from dusk. At one point my partner and I were stuck going up on the incline due to the excessiveness of wet mud from the rain. Lol. We felt so bad for the people behind us (mud bath accident). However, it was a fun experience. I highly recommend booking the 2 hour ATV ride! You will not regret it (: thank you Matt for a wonderful ride. -Cece

It is so safe and fun, both my sons ( 6 years and 1.5 years old) enjoyed this trip and the snorkeling, and of course BBQ is the best after playing in water.

It was amazing to see such a beautiful sea! I was very satisfied to encounter turtles as well. I brought my 0-year-old child, and there were no issues at all. I would like to go again when my child is a bit older!

こんな綺麗な海があるなんて最高でした！亀にも出会えて大満足でした。0歳児を連れていきましたが問題なしでした。また子供がもう少し大きくなってから行きたいと思いました！

Originally the reason for us to book a tour instead of driving ourselves to Mauna Kea was because we didn't rent a 4WD car, but now I'm sooooo glad we made such a decision.
The view of sunset and milky way was breathtaking without saying. What I really want to mention is that our tour guide/driver/photographer Shoyo was amazing. He knew EVERYTHING about Hawaii, during the tour we learned a lot about Hawaiian history, the plants and animals, good restaurants to go, etc.. He also took great photos of us.

We did the 9am 1-hour horseback. This tour is a trail ride meant for beginners - which was perfect for me! Don't forget to wear long pants and wear closed-toed shoes. There isn't much shade on the trail so wear plenty of sunscreen and wear sunglasses.

If you do the ATV at Gunstock Ranch too, try to do the tours back-to-back. This tour booked out a few weeks in advance and I wasn't able to do the tours back-to-back. We did the 9am horseback, had some time to grab lunch in Haleiwa, then came back to the ranch for our 2pm ATV tour. If you do this, make sure you leave with plenty of time to allow for traffic. Traffic on the North Shore can be unpredictable and you can be caught in bumper to bumper traffic which might make you late for the tour.

We did the 2pm ATV tour. The ATV is covered so you'll be in the shade for the drive. Gorgeous ranch! Just a reminder, this is a guided ATV tour. As in, the GUIDE will drive the ATV (not you!).

I had a blast on this sunset sail. It was the perfect "pau hana" (happy hour, end of work day)!

For drinks, they had cocktails, beer, wine, & non-alcoholic drinks. I really liked the appetizers (chicken, rice, and veggies). It was just the right amount of food to go with the Mai Tais that I had!

This is a docked catamaran. Unlike beach catamarans, you will not have to walk knee-deep in the water to board the boat. You'll be perfectly dry as you board the boat on the pier (as seen in the photo). This makes it a great choice for those who want to dress up a bit for the sunset sail, those traveling with little ones, guests with mobility issues, etc.

I loved that this was conveniently located in WAIKIKI! It's right at the Hilton Hawaiian Village (not to be confused with the Hilton Waikiki - which is a different hotel).

I've been to Oahu many times and had always wanted to go to the sandbar but didn't get the chance to until now.
I booked the morning tour on July 8th of this year, and boy it was a beautiful day. It was cloudy the day I arrived in Oahu so I was worried about the weather.
Captain Bruce had 2 boats full of tourists out that day. We didn't meet Captain Bruce. Instead we got Captain Robin and his assistant Irvin.
Both men were so nice and helpful. They let you go off on your own, but at the same time, kept an eye on you from a distance, to make sure you don't hurt yourself or get in trouble when you're out in the water.
There were lots of watersports to do, all provided free of charge. Chips and non-alcoholic beverages were also provided free of charge.
I had a wonderful time.
The views were stunning anywhere you look. I want to go back there again. I will pick them again. Their price is cheaper compared to the others, and the staffs are awesome friendly people.
It bothered me that many people left without tipping the crew. That was not cool.

Aloha!! (: I would like to first thanks Jamie, Will, and Ephriam (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) for making my boyfriend and I feel safe and secured. You guys rock! Especially Jamie though, my girl made me felt like I was on top of the moon and ensure I had the best first flight. Haha. This experience has been by far the best and trillest adventure I’ve done. It was a first timer for my boyfriend and I & we absolutely loved it. We had to cross 8 zip line and take on a few upper body strength challenges along the way. Totally worth the soreness the next day lol. The view was stunning!!! We recommend this to everyone 100%. We will miss you Climb works. Mahalo, Cece

We had a great time with Jim! The trip was very informative and we learned much about the history of Hawaii. I would suggest taking this tour at the beginning of your vacation so that you can explore in-depth some of the places we visited. The winery and tea tour was amazing! I learn so much about tea and the winemaking process in HI!
Thanks so much!

Overall disappointing. When I think “sunset cruise”, I was thinking something dressier, as were most of the passengers. Instead, we had to run through the surf to get onto the catamaran (no dock), getting wet and dirty in the process. The boat is leaky in the sense the water splashes through holes on the main deck, making you wet even if you’re not sitting on the edge of the boat. The “cocktails” consist of only two options: Mai Tais or beer, that’s it. The crew was pleasant, but over all, it was nothing like I expected.

We had such a great time on the sunset sail! All the crew was a lot of fun & views were great. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I, our 4 adult children, and their significant others had a wonderful time on the Mauna Kea Stargazing and Summit Tour. Everyone even liked the dinner.
Maka was a great guide. He picked us up promptly and was very friendly on the ride to Mauna Kea. We learned a lot about the surrounding area and volcanoes.
The best part was the sunset. It was like being on another planet and the colors were vivid and amazing.
Unfortunately, the amazing sunset was due to the clouds and it made for poor stargazing.
We were able to see the craters of the moon through the telescope and hear about the local names for some of the stars, in spite of the clouds. And I was glad we did not have to drive that windy road ourselves.
I would suggest checking on the cycle of the moon before booking and do not go during a full moon.
We still had a wonderful time and will never forget the Sunset on the summit.

Steph and Gin picked us up and they were even a little early!! They were great host and very friendly. Beyond that it was a little disappointing. We were suppose to get "dinner", we got a BLT, no chips, no cookie, only water and later a "hot beverage". The pictures our hosts took were great and they sent to us at no charge. We have taken this trip before with another company and we had a very nice sit down dinner, no fancy, but you felt like you had something to eat when you were done. After going to the summit, they set up a telescope and we look at many, many stars and it was explained to us all about that star. The guide was very knowledgeable and we spent close to an hour doing just that, it was fantastic. With this tour we only saw one star and I right now could not tell you what it was. The other tour showed us the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter, etc. But this trip was so not that. I am sorry to say if we do this again it won't be with this tour. We really enjoyed our hosts, but that was not the purpose of the trip

Our tour guides were great, very knowledgeable and explained everything very well. Gave us great tips to help ensure our time was well spent.
Could not have been any better.

Great tour, our guide was friendly and professional.

The movie tour was just underwhelming. I expected from the pictures to have more interaction with the sets, particularly for jurassic park for which a picture is prominently posted next the movie site tour online and even in the review panel. In reality they used the movie tour to try and up sell you to go on other tours where you can do what was in their pictures. Even if this were ok its a mute point as the up sold tours were not available even if you wanted to go on them. Really disappointed and feel a bit lied to. Beautiful location, otherwise i missed everything i actually wanted and expected to see.

This was one of my favorite things I’ve done in Oahu!! The crew Dave, Jeff, and Mino was amazing, always making sure everyone’s drinks were full and everyone was having a good time.The music playlist on the boat was awesome! Overall amazing vibes, a beautiful sunset, and I definitely recommend it to anyone is Oahu!

We had an awesome guide, Tony! During the city tour, he really gave so much important and valuable history and background of Hawaii for someone who has never been to Hawaii or know much about how the state came about.
Our Pearl Harbor tour was great! Would have definitely added the USS Missouri tour as we felt we wanted more time at Pearl Harbor.

This was a pretty cool experience! It was my husband and I’s first time in Hawaii and this was a recommended activity to do. We really enjoyed the tour and our guide Liz was really informative and funny :) Kualoa Ranch is definitely a go-to as it just gives a closer view and experience to some of the mountains in Oahu plus all of the movie spots filmed in the area (Jurassic World as one of the movies with the most sites). I would advise for anyone going to just be prepared for the dust, cover your face with a bandana or something similar, dust really gets EVERYWHERE so wear something comfy and easy to just pat off the dust.

Had a wonderful time from start to finish with our tour guide John. He kept the trip lively and made it something special with his knowledge of the islands and aquatic life. Captured some really amazing sights of the fish and turtles on what felt like an intimate excursion. Would highly recommend!
