Hawaii
Marlon was an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and funny. Social distancing and super clean bus! I learned so much about Pearl Harbor and Honolulu! Highly recommend!
We were initially skeptical of going to any Luau after a previous experience we had on Maui. We were concerned it would feel like a crowded dinner show instead of an authentic experience. We live on Oahu and had guests who really wanted to go. Tao Luau appealed to us because Waimea Falls is a beautiful setting away from resorts, and it has way less occupancy for the event then the others (200 compared to up to 800!). We were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome, hands on experience, delicious dinner, and stunning show. We have visitors coming in a week, and more in the summer, and have already booked for two more times!
Aloha Heidi, and mahalo for your review! We are pleased to know you had a great experience at the luau, which was initially not what you thought it was. We are glad we have changed your mind about activities like ours. We have planned everything about the luau having one goal - make it a great experience for everybody. Come see us again when you can :-) Mahalo!
Had a great time on here. Saw the dolphins, turtles, and swam with some cool fish. The crew was cool and made it a good time.
The guys were great and the whole thing was amazing!! Great for families!
Initially we planned to rent a car and explore the island from Waikiki, driving to different areas multiple days. But, corona (and Hawaii reopening) caused a shortage on rental cars apparently and so we were not able to rent a car after all. Then we found this tour and we couldn’t be any happier with it! It not only allowed us to see the island of Oahu, we also got all the extra information that we wouldn’t have gotten without Lola, our driver and tour guide. We stopped at the blowhole, the Pali of Nu’uana viewpoint, a macadamia plantation, the valley of temples, Haleiwa, dole plantation, and passed the north shore beaches and many other beautiful sights, also Honolulu. After the team we even regret more than we couldn’t go again and spend some time at the places suggested by Lola. Therefore, my recommendation is to do this tour first (at the beginning of your vacation) and then try to go to the places you liked the most. And Lola was just hands down the best tour guide. She brought water and Poi Donuts —> delicious!! And she was so energetic in telling us all the stories about the island and what she used to do or used to go as a kid. This whole experience felt more like connecting to Oahu than anything else we did during our time there. Highly recommended!
Boarding the catamaran was the best decision in years! Helpful and fun staff take you sailing to see a beautiful view of the island while sailing back in the sunset. Both romantic and fun! The Catamaran staff makes you feel like family and truly shoe you a good time on the water .
Chris and his helping hand was amazing. Made sure that we were comfortable and we had plenty of time in the cage! There were so many sharks around us and we got some great footage! Highly recommend! Thank you again Chris!
This was the best choice we could have made on this trip!! Went on the sunset cruise on 3/30/21. Crew was informative and fun, and the drinks were flowing! We saw whales and dolphins too. Tried to bribe them to let us stay out on the water once we were getting close to the end of our trip - didn’t work but we tried LOL! 10/10 recommend this one!!
We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The crew was so friendly and we chatted with them a bunch. The views were breathtaking, especially the white towers of Honolulu and Diamond Head. And we also saw a humpback whale!!! Felt taken care of and had a great time.
Thank you to crystal & alen for such an amazing time out in sea. Their service is amazing & we are already planning another family adventure again with you folks. Hopefully Allen & Crystal works that day again.
Crystal was very patient with our party of 11. Allen was so awesome working with the rest of the group on the boat. They both made everyone feel welcomed and safe, that enabled us all to enjoy our day.
Aloha, thank you so much for the 5 star review. We look forward to see you again. Mahalo!
This was an amazing tour the guides were amazingly friendly and informative! The only down side for me was there were a lot of people in the water which made it difficult to really float and see the marine life. But it was mid day and it was a tourist trip. My daughter loves sea turtles so for her this was a dream! I would do it again but maybe earlier in the morning! Thanks again for a wonderful trip!
It was a great ride. Perfect for a relaxing time on the water. We saw 3 sea turtles on our trip
Great tour! The guide was very knowledgeable about the island's history and pointed out may wonderful views, art murals, and landmarks as we drove towards the harbor. Pearl Harbor was a WONDERFUL experience and we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted and visit the gift shop.
Aloha Casey,
We are very pleased to hear of your enjoyment! Thank you for your recommendation and high rating. We are very grateful that you joined us.
We hope to see you again in the near future. Our Circle Island Tour does not disappoint.
Mahalo!
Would definitely recommend this experience. Because of COVID, our group of 13 were the only people on the boat and once everyone was done snorkeling, they took us out to sail by Diamond Head. So even though I didn't get in the water, I enjoyed the time spent sailing. The rest of the group that went snorkeling, said it was amazing - wish I would have gone snorkeling. Maybe next time!
An incredible experience, had no idea they were that big and they’d get as close as they did. We took all four of our kids ages from 11 to 20 and they all loved it!
Mahalo Heather for the 5 star review! We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We are so happy that you all had a fantastic time on our manta ray night snorkel. Please come see us again on your next visit!
My kids and I loved it! It was my kids favorite activity on our trip! They felt safe and had the best time. Magic Island is a beautiful beach and lagoon. The videos turned out great and will be a great memory! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
This was one of the best things we did in Hawaii! Workers were amazing, Mai tai’s were amazing, service was amazing.
This was by far my favorite activity and our girls loved it. It was so beautiful. There are also so many different movies filmed here and that was cool to see. They also have a super reasonable cafe with excellent food. Bacon and eggs for only $10 and ACAI bowls were to die for!!! They do weigh you right before you get on the horse and are strict about the weight. Could have done this several times.
It was so nice to just jump on the bus and let Frank tell us about the history. He was an amazing tour guide and there was no stress of knowing where to go. He was very professional and kind. He was also very knowledgeable.
The trip was awesome and memorable. Captain Allan and Ervin made everyone feel safe during the whole sandbar adventure.
We enjoyed walking on the sandbar and swimming near the edge and finding turtles amongst the coral reefs
I would definitely recommend getting Captain Bruce sandbar adventure
Aloha, Thank you so much for joining our tour. We look forward to see your friends and your family to join us again in the future. Mahalo!
I had the best time on my shark tour! The guys were super helpful and informative. The weather was great and I felt very safe the entire time, even inside the cage with the Sharks. There were so many Sharks swimming around the cage, much more than I expected. I highly recommend this shark cage tour. I had the best time with them.
It was the perfect ending to a full day! Captains take care of you, ocean breeze, a mai tai in your hand, great music and the sunset...what more do can you want! Jay Jay and crew two thumbs up!
My friend and I took our kids, 5, 9, & 11 years old, on these, & we took the advice from others to go on a day it was going to rain a little. & I must say, it made the experience great. All of our pictures came out looking fabulous, our tour guide, he was the best. He even said it, so I’m sure many have told him this before. We chose the 2- hour ATV ride because we didn’t want to run out of time, & boy I am glad we did. We made several stops along the way in some historical places. Took a lot of different photos. & our tour guide, he even made panoramic photos and short movies that look amazing on our phone. I saw a few people out there zip lining, & it looked awesome. I wish I would’ve done that too now. Everything about this place was great and my kids loved it as well.
Safe and very friendly staff! We enjoyed the boat ride and most of alll the Parasail
We had an amazing time during this cruise. I have two young boys, one was going on 5 the other is 9, & they got to go on the boat as well and had a blast. The crew interacted with everyone. They were energetic, generous, & great to be around. My 4 year old must’ve been down for a bit because he said he wanted to get back to the water. One of the guys on the crew asked him if he wanted a bucket of water to get wet & after he said yes, he pulled a bucket up from the ocean and poured it over my son’s head lol. This is a must do. Inexpensive, short, nice, booze cruise. & yet, it still leaves plenty of time to engage in other activities.
Such a great time! Went in February 2021. Drinks were flowing, music was great. The crew were awesome. Amos and Mitchell? I think! And another guy. But anyways they took lots of pictures for everyone and really interacted with everyone which was fun. My only complaint was that you have to get a little wet getting on and off the boat but I guess that's also part of the charm. Definitely more of a "fun" cruise than something quiet and relaxing. Would definitely go again!
Fun for the entire family. Both of our guides were outstanding they made everyone laugh and have a memorable experience!
Our family had a ton of fun gazing at the stars. Our guide Krystal was amazing. Her background in astronomy provided a unique experience. She provided so much information about Hawaii, the importance of the stars for Hawaiian navagation, and any other science questions our family had.
Molokini was beautiful. Turtle Town had murky water. Did not even stop but we spent extra time at Molokini. Got in some whale watching too and had two whales swim right up to the boat. Great staff, very helpful and courteous.
We arrived for our 2:00 reservation at 1:30, and the staff was very kind in letting us know that we could board soon. We boarded the catamaran and set sail for the sea exactly as scheduled. The staff were very informative l, funny, and helpful during the entire time. We got to swim with 1 sea turtle (: overall very satisfied with my experience! Thanks again!
