We had a wonderful experience as a family of 10 on our tour to Waimea Valley! The breakfast was a great start! Our tour guide, Jason, was full of great facts as we drove along the way to our destinations! Weimea definitely exceeded my expectations in beauty! Jason shared facts about the flora and fauna surrounding us. The walked is paved but does have some inclines along the way. The walk was great for the whole family but my elderly parents had to move slower behind the group at their own pace. The waterfall was perfect. There is “audience style seating” for families to sit if not swimming and to place items. Life jackets are required and provided which was nice and the life guards that are on duty are very helpful. The tour gives 30 minutes to enjoy the waterfall swimming which was a great amount of time. Lunch was then given after a walk back to the entrance of Waimea. Although lunch is provided and was very good- for picky eaters or hungry along the way- there are snack bars and a walk up style restaurant to order other food.
After leaving Waimea we went to Dole where we had plenty of time to walk around the gift shop and enjoy our Dole Whip. This tour was a hit with the family and definitely would recommend it!
If you are not able to walk long distances- this may be a harder tour.
I truly enjoyed this so much it was very chill, the snorkeling was better than an actual snorkeling trip we took while here, paddle boarding and kayaking too. The staff was amazing and the on board entertainment was fantastic!
Great experience we all had so much fun all 14 of us worth the price. The staff was amazing and friendly and very helpful
We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.
Book the Premium package. It is well worth it.
We were a family of seven with 3 teens. We loved both tours, the ranch and catamaran cruise beautiful scenery and educational
Would highly recommend
We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.
Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended
Best day! We had a group of 117 developmentally disabled adults and staff- we had an amazing time. The staff was attentive, the views spectacular!
Wear sunscreen and enjoy the day!
This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!
If you can time this excursion on a beautiful sunny day!
Dan and Chieko were extremely professional, and great with our kids (6 and 8). They assisted the little one, and escorted us back to beach mid-tour when the kids got tired. Beautiful tour and great people 👏
Enjoyed the tour and all the sites. Nice way to tour with your family. Next time we think we’d like to try the bus tour.
We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!
I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazing, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!
Do this trip on your first day here.
Wonderful experience from the ease of booking online the 90-minute Manu Kai Catamaran private charter for my sister, Captain Charlene J.’s Ash Scattering Memorial to the end. Awesome crew, Aiden, Zach, and Brandon with instructions and accommodations. Hawaii was our sister’s second home and to commemorate her with our family made it so special. Mahalo nui loa 🤙🏼🌺
Everything was awesome! 👏🏽
My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.
We all had such a great experience on the tour. Staff were absolutely awesome. Views were stunning!
The whole team made us comfortable especially with the kids! Kind and friendly!!! Thank you for making our trip special and memorable. The boys want to take you up on a job 🤗
Recommend for the whole family! You get the chance to do a lot with your time in the water.
This was one of the best catamaran cruises I’ve been on. My husband and I had our last full day on the island and i wanted to snorkel to see the Honu . So we booked this excursion and it was the best way to end our honeymoon . The crew is amazing and so friendly . Me being and island girl and my hubby from the mainland i had to give him the best experience before we left . This did not disappoint . I can only remember Phoenix name but everyone on 5/18 1145 crew were wonderful. The sailing after the snorkeling was a great way to end the adventure . I recommend this highly . MAHALO !
If you’re prone to getting sick please take something prior. No fun watching people vomit in water
My family had so much fun. Great drivers. Would do it again with the same crew
My friends and I booked for a birthday celebration (green-themed). The staff was so helpful and nice. Boat was awesome, views spectacular! Oh, and let’s not forget the cocktails…We will be back!
Absolutely! Go for it!
Our guide Ryan was off the hook amazing. His passion for his job showed through. Our journey into the back country of Hawaii was exciting and informative. You’re going to get dirty and it’s worth it. If you only come to Hawaii once in your life make sure you take this tour!!!!
Bring baby wipes. The red dirt gets everywhere. Also bring your adventurous spirit. It will be awed!
Every thing you said it would be and more Thank you
Amazing experience Great service and excellent staff!
Hanauma Bay is still a beautiful place to visit! The reef is home to such a beautiful variety of colorful fish, sea urchins, & coral. A must see for anyone visiting Oahu!
Book the tour to ensure you get in!
This experience is one of the best for Waikiki.
Bottomless drinks, perfect evening view of the city skyline, and we had two amazing hosts who had the best energy.
Bring a windbreaker or sweatshirt. The wind isn’t bad, but it’s better to have it and not need it…
This is our third trips to Hawaii but is the first time to have a chance to see other beautiful beaches in Oahu in addition to the well known Waikiki beach. The hike in the Diamond Head was manageable but the view from the top was magnificent. With the driver John’s guide, we had the most spectacular experience in Oahu.
The booking process is easy. Tour driver was very on time and helpful.
Amazing food, very nice waitresses, and an awesome show! Includes the full Hawaiian experience, what you can’t miss
Get ready to sit back and be amazed by the incredible talent and creativity of the Cirque du Soleil cast and crew. There were moments I found myself watching with one eye covered—it was that nerve-wracking to witness some of the daring acts!
I couldn’t help but think: These performers must dedicate countless hours to perfecting their craft, and they do this twice a night? Truly impressive. Bravo! Bravo!
This show is a must-see for all ages and can be enjoyed by people from anywhere in the world. A beautiful blend of art, athleticism, and imagination—don’t miss it!
Sit in the back if you want to watch the whole show, for sure you'll feel the energy in the front!
Family memories for life. Many great historical facts presented along with the visuals. Great dancers musicians and actors. Kelli the host for the evening was very genuine and welcoming. We felt part of the Waikiki family. Surfside location added to the Polynesian environment. Thanks Veltra.
Book early, sit near the front and get the arm Tattoos .
