Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Fantastic Day on the North Shore

Reviewed by: Mark T.

The tour of the North Shore was a wonderful way to see this iconic area. Our guide, Kevin, was a wealth of knowledge as he was born and raised in the area. We stopped at several locations to allow for sightseeing, shopping, eating and various activities. It was a day well spent.

I want to do it again

Reviewed by: Chrystal

The captain and his mate kept 2 seniors entertained and helpful in calming our fears about the safety of parasailing. We got to see Hawaii from the air. Well worth the money.

Whales

Reviewed by: Cassie Benisch

We were able to see quite a few whales, and that was very neat and interesting to see. The staff was very knowmedable about the whales. All of the staff were very kind and helpful with asking if we needed anything to snack on or drink, and with helping us get to our bus after the whale watching.

A great little trip

Reviewed by: Sarah S.

The guys were very chill and gave us a great trip over to diamond head and around turtle canyon. It really made our morning! If we had more time here we would have done another trip with them! It was especially nice being able to board from the beach instead of driving down to a marina.

90-Minute Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail & Cocktail Cruise - Hawea Rainbow Catamaran

Best way to enjoy sunset in Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Wendy

Sunset in Hawaii is the best, and this is one of the best way for you to enjoy the sunset. We were so lucky on that day, we saw a lot of whale. The music was good, the crew was super nice and friendly. They even offered to take the pictures for us. We loved the experience so much, and definitely we will do it again when we come back to Waikiki next time

Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tour with Reserved Tickets & Shuttle from Waikiki

Diamond Head Self-Guided Tour

Reviewed by: Cathy Erwin

KOA picked us up and was a very enjoyable and safe driver. We had a perfect sunny morning to hike and it was absolutely gorgeous! All of us in our group that hiked are in our 60’s and was not to difficult of a journey for us. The views on the way up and down were beautiful, but the views from the top were breathtaking! One of our favorite excursions while visiting the Hawaiian Islands.

  • Overlooking some hotels along the beach

  • Looking back across the crater below

  • Overlooking Waikiki and Honolulu

Outrigger Canoe Surfing with Waikiki Beach Boys

The best thing to do in Waikiki

Reviewed by: Nancy

On our first day in Waikiki we started off with a thrill at Outrigger Canoe Surfing! The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Russell was the captain and he and his crew were phenomenal and with their encouragement we powered through the surf and set up for three exhilarating rides over the breaking waves. It felt as though we were surfing. I would recommend this again in a heartbeat.

Belated "Mahalo Nui Loa" for your generous 5-star rating. Glad to know that canoe captain and our staff took care of your party. Thank you for recommending this true Hawaiian sport that you can only experience in Waikiki. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Aloha, Waikiki Beach Services

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights

What an experience!

Reviewed by: Gina

Wow! Everyone in Hawaii needs to go parasailing! My boyfriend and I did the 1000ft parasail and it was amazing. Our guides who were loads of fun really made it a cool experience. They take pictures for you that you can purchase for $35 that come on an SD card. The process of parasailing was quite simple. You step into some straps, sit down on the end of the boat and they clip two clips on and then BOOM YOU ARE OFF into the sky! You gradually get higher and it is so serene up in the sky. Literally breathtaking. After 6-7 minutes of flying, they lower you down and dip you into the water (for fun lol). So be careful if you are wearing glasses/sunglasses. You’ll get a nice cup of salt water tea!

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

This cruise is a party!

Reviewed by: MackE

I’ve been visiting Hawaii every year for the past 10 years and finally got around to checking out a sunset sail. Manu Kai exceeded all my expectations. The staff was great and the boat itself was spacious and comfortable. Check-in had some hiccups but they were still able to start the cruise as scheduled.

The cruise included 3 drinks(Mai tai and it was tasty!) and played great music. We got lucky and had a boat with a younger crowd so it was a party the whole time! If you’re looking for an activity during your stay, I highly recommend this place.

  • Gorgeous sunset!

Reviewed by: Jordan

This little adventure is something you won't want to miss out on. I'm really glad we made it part of our Oahu vacation! Knowing ahead that if there were no sightings you would be able to use your ticket again later is awesome. We loved the pineapple drinks on board and the staff was top notch! It's great for all ages! I only wish they had more options for food or snacks, though that could be covid related, I'm not sure. Do this!

We had a big family group and everyone enjoyed the trip. We had ages from 2 to over 60. COVID conditions meant a smaller group so it was not crowded. Itxwas a beautiful day. We spotted lots of whales. We danced to the great selection of music played by Tiny. Wholeheartedly recommend this excursion.

Aloha!
What an amazing adventure aboard the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises. We’re happy to hear you and your family enjoyed exploring a part of Oahu that most people don’t get to see and are excited you saw some astonishing marine life! That is truly a lifetime experience only few can witness. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and taking part in the Aloha spirit. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).
