2-Hour Afternoon West Oahu Whale Watching Tour - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
Fun times
Reviewed by: Stephan
I took my folks on this boat trip, and they had a great time. We spotted a whale about 50 yards out and saw a bunch of flying fish. The crew were fun and informative and showed us all sorts of sites. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see a whale or just enjoy a big catamaran.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Great entertainment but not so great food
Reviewed by: Hawaiian @heart
This was not our first luau so we had something else to compare it to. The story line/context of the dance/show was very similar, performed better at Chief’s, the comedy was fantastic but the food fell so far short I felt like we paid way too much for the overall experience.

Ko Olina Zipline Tour at Coral Crater Adventure Park [Six & Three -Line Courses]
Amazing Time for the ENTIRE family!!
Reviewed by: Davin and Lacy
Had a totally amazing afternoon at Coral Crater!! We are a family of six and zip lined for the first time for most of us. Let me tell you Celest and Kalewa were great hosts and on all 6 lines. What was most amazing was that we have a special needs daughter who ziplined as well and Nessa stayed to help her on each line. The three of them were completely amazing!! The place itself was so cool with all sorts of wildlife around. I would highly recommend it to anyone and ask for Celest, Kalewa, and Nessa to ensure you get the full experience.

Ko Olina Sunset Snorkel Dinner Cruise with Island Buffet & Cocktails - Ocean Joy
Sunset dinner cruise
Reviewed by: Trish
Just did the Snorkel and Sunset dinner cruise. I would definitely do this again. The. Staff was absolutely awesome and very very patient. I sometime feel very constrained with all the rules but the staff did a very good job explaining why they have to do what they do to keep all of us safe and still have the best time. The music was great, the food was wonderful. And everybody on the boat seemed to have a good time. Oh and the sunset on the water was epic. I highly recommend this to all!

Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance
A Nice Experience
Reviewed by: John A
The Luau was a nice night out. If you are going a couple of tips: 1) opt in for the bus transportation. The site is about an hour from Waikiki in an industrial park. 2) Get the VIP seats. We were seated right next to the stage and received a photo and 3 free drinks. The stage show was excellent and authentic. The food was hit or miss. It was served cafeteria style where you had to go in a serving line like a cafeteria. The pork was 5 stars, while the rest of the meal was 3 stars. Overall, a nice evening next to the ocean (Excellent Views).

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Paradise Cove experience
Reviewed by: Rbj
We had a very enjoyable time at Paradise Cove. From the start when our bus driver and tour guide picked us up until they dropped us off, it was exceptional. The activities before the main performance were very good. The live performance was exceptional. The dancers and other performers were great. The food and beverages were good as well. All in all, this was one of the highlights of our vacation on Oahu.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Such a eventful luau
Reviewed by: Gziggy01
The luau was on a beach so the views were incredible. The luau itself always had something to do during the 4 hours you were there. There were 600 people there and they had activities you can do until the show started such as taking pics with colorful parrots (costs extra), kayaking, and throwing arrows. The buffet was pre-portioned and consisted of fried fish, Pork, buns, poi, salad, rice, a cupcake, and ribs. It was very filling. The show was very comical and i highly recommend. I just wish the seating was a little closer since I was at the winged tables.

2-Hour Afternoon West Oahu Whale Watching Tour - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
Super chill whale watch.
Reviewed by: Kathryn Reich
Loved the catamaran, as we got to sit on the sturdy netting and relax during our ride. We saw a mother and newborn calf and hung out with them for the duration of the trip. Adorable. The crew was entertaining, kind, and resourceful.
We were three adults, but we saw several families with children of a variety of ages enjoy the activity as well. It was winter when we did it and it was super warm. They provide sunscreen, but if you are particular about brands, bring your own. Also if you are sensitive to the sun, bring a hat that is able to withstand the wind. Two additional notes: bring shoes you are ok with being locked up as this is a shoeless cruise. And you get two drink tickets with a very serviceable bar and local draught brews.

2-Hour Afternoon West Oahu Whale Watching Tour - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
It was awesome!
Reviewed by: Aki & Matt
Twenty minutes after leaving Waianae harbor, my husband spotted a whale spout first. After that several pairs of whales were spotted during the 2 hour tour.
We were so excited when one appeared at a distance of about 20 yards (whale came up to the boat) Also we watched a whale with a baby, and the baby appeared to wave to us hitting the surface of the water several times with a pectoral fin awhile looking at us.
The waves weren't so strong on that day, so even I, who get seasick, could spend the day out to sea without any problems. I was relieved that there is a restroom on board.
We relaxed sitting back enjoyed the whales and good drinks with snacks . We really had a great time.
The captain and the three staff members always took care to make us feel comfortable. The boat appears and sounds to be in good working order. We felt safe on it.
Thank you, CPT Dave, Quin, Aaron, and braeden!

Aloha John, Thank you so much for choosing our luau, and so happy to hear that you had a nice experience. We feel the bus transportation is the best option, it may be a long ride getting there, but safer on your return if you're going to enjoy a few cocktails. Our VIP, or Plumeria Luau package was a great choice, with the extra amenities, 3 drink tickets, and the souvenir photo, as well as the Premiere seating! We appreciate you taking time to share your experience with us, and hope you will share your beautiful photos with your friends & family! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau
