Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

In Hawaii? Gottta go & see whales!

Reviewed by: Rebecca and Jaxon Berry

I cannot begin to say how much fun I had on this cruise. Not only did we get to see whales, and the captain did a great job of getting as close as he could without disturbing them, but the activities and food on-board made the experience just THAT MUCH BETTER! It was a great experience being able to go to the top deck and view the whales and then head down into the ship for a very yummy buffet lunch. Boy were we full after that :) Cannot wait for next year so we can do this again. Two thumbs WAY WAY up!

a whale of a time!

Reviewed by: lily cooper

one of the things my family wanted to do when we went to hawaii was go whale watching since we live hundreds of miles from the ocean, we figured that this would be a great opportunity and boy were we right! the staff did a great job of keeping everyone on board up to date with what was happening with the whales and the cruise was really smooth too.

food was good, staff was nice, great information, couldn't ask for anything more!

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Great!

Reviewed by: Elisa

My husband and I did this our first day and I was a little nervous about it, but once you get up in the air its so cool! I didn't know just how bad my husband was afraid of heights cause he got pretty scared, but you're attached to a parachute! I felt bad for dragging him up there with me, but I really loved it - a once in a lifetime thing, so why not do it while you're in Hawaii? I also read some other comments about how there was pressure to tip, but I didn't feel that way, yeah, there were 20's taped to the boat and they did ask that we "take care of them" but I thought it was only proper to tip so I gave them 10 bucks for the both of us. Don't let something like that ruin, or keep you from trying this. It was Awesome! FYI: bring a waterproof disposable camera up with you for some great shots!

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

Fun Time on Surf Bus

Reviewed by: Sandy

We had a great time on this tour. The group was small, so the guide could be flexible and give individual attention to each participant. There was a range of activities so you could choose how active you wanted to be. We did the Wailea Falls hike and stand-up paddling. We had lunch at the cafe at Wailea Falls, very good Hawaiian-style food. We were glad we paid the extra for an instructor on the paddling as it was challenging. I would only recommend doing it on your own if you are experienced. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning more about the North Shore.

The ship departed with nearly 30 passengers on board. The sunset, just before it disappeared, was truly beautiful. However, shortly after boarding, I found it difficult to hold in my need to use the restroom, which was quite challenging. I held on for a while but didn’t realize there was a portable toilet available. The foreign guests were drinking and having a great time, chatting a lot. I would like to learn from them.

Catamaran カタマラン

Reviewed by: lai

I have been on a catamaran several times and I really love it. This time, I had my father, who is over 60, ride it for the first time. Just before departure, thick clouds appeared, which was quite disappointing, but it seems that the charm of the catamaran cutting through the wind on the open sea was conveyed to my father. While the sunset time is nice, I personally recommend the daytime more. Under the sun, with a delicious drink in hand, relaxing to cheerful music and the rhythm of the waves... it's the best! The staff at the reception can speak Japanese.

カタマランは何度か乗ったことがあり、すごく気に入ってます。
今回は60過ぎの父にも初めて乗ってもらいました。
出発寸前に厚い雲が出てきてしまい、かなり残念でしたが、風を切って海原を走るカタマランの良さは、父にも伝わったようです。
サンセットの時間もいいですが、私としては昼間の方がお勧めです。
太陽の下、おいしいドリンク片手に陽気な音楽と波のリズムに身を任せてのんびり…最高!

I go to Hawaii every year for a work trip. I always participate in horseback riding, and this time I enjoyed a long ride. However, it was disappointing that the instructor only spoke English, so I couldn't communicate. I feel that if we could have conversed, it would have made for an even more enjoyable holiday.

It might be due to the timing, but unlike the options booked through the travel agency, there were no other Japanese participants, which made me really feel like I was abroad, and it was great! The parasailing experience was fun, and the instructors were interesting. I even got to see a shark, which is something you don't usually see. Although I was a bit nervous because communication in Japanese was limited and there was the shark, I was very satisfied with this valuable experience!

時期的な事もあるかもしれませんが、旅行会社で予約したオプションとは違い、他の参加者に日本人がいなかったので海外に来たっていう実感ができとてもよかったです!

I want to participate in the next trip to Hawaii too!! 次のハワイ旅行でも参加したい!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a couple. On the day we joined, there were a total of 11 people in 5 groups. The driver entertained us with various stories until we reached the North Shore. We stopped by the Dole Plantation, which had many original products, and we had a great time even without shopping.

Although lunch was served quite early, around 10:30, all participants were surprised and said, "Already??" However, for us, who hadn't had breakfast, it was just the right time. Since it was Sunday, there was a food stall selling Huli Huli chicken, so we had lunch there. Nearby, there was also a famous shaved ice shop, allowing us to enjoy ourselves thoroughly before heading to horseback riding.

When we arrived at the ranch for horseback riding, the instructions were only in English, which was a bit confusing, but the ranch staff did their best to explain in English, so we were able to enjoy horseback riding throughout. Unlike Japanese ranches, we could ride for 90 minutes, which was very satisfying. I definitely want to participate again on my trip to Hawaii in two years, but since lunch costs are not included, I hope the tour price will be around $80 to $100.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
私たちが参加した日は、5グループ合計11人でした。
ドライバーさんはノースショアーへ着くまで、色々な話で楽しませてくれました。
途中ドールプランテーションへ寄りましたが、オリジナル商品が沢山あり、買い物しなくても楽しめました。
10時半過ぎという早い時間に昼食となりましたが、参加者全員が「もう??」と驚いていましたが、朝食を取っていなかった私たちにはちょうど良い時間でした。
日曜日ということもあり、フリフリチキンの屋台が出ていたので、私たちはそちらでランチにしました。
近くには有名なかき氷屋さんもあり乗馬へ行くまでも存分に楽しむことができました。
乗馬する牧場(~!)へ着くと、英語のみの説明になり、戸惑いましたが、牧場のお母さんが英語ながら一生懸命説明してくれたので、終始楽しく乗馬できました。
日本の牧場と違い90分も乗馬できるので、非常に満足できます。
再来年のハワイ旅行でも是非参加したいと思いますが、昼食代などが含まれていないので、ツアー代金が80~100ドルほどになると良いなと思いました。

The ocean is... 海の中は・・・

Reviewed by: あきべえ

This time, my youngest child was just tall enough to meet the height requirement, so we were able to ride a submarine for the first time! We traveled by boat to board the submarine, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. I was worried about getting seasick, but I managed to board the submarine without any issues. The underwater view was not as clear as I had expected, and as I had heard, the coral was in a dying state, which gave me a different impression of the underwater world than I had imagined. It was interesting to see planes and ships that had been intentionally sunk, and there were fish and sea turtles around them. It felt a bit like being in a modern-day Urashima Taro story!

今回、末っ子も身長制限をぎりぎりクリアできていたため、初の潜水艦に乗ることができました☆潜水艦に乗り込むところまで船で移動するのですが、海上からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができよかったです。心配していた船酔いもせず、潜水艦に乗りました。海の中は、思っていたよりもクリアではなく、珊瑚も死んでいる状態と聞いていたとおり、思っていた海の世界と違った印象を受けました。わざと沈めたという飛行機や船などがあり、そこに魚たちや海がめがいたのがおもしろかったです。ちょっとした浦島太郎気分でした♪

This summer, I participated with my family. It was our third time on a catamaran, but our first time riding one in Waikiki. The price is quite reasonable, and you can truly enjoy the essence of an overseas resort, so I definitely recommend joining. On a catamaran, you can experience a refreshing feeling that you can't get on larger ships, and since there are relatively few Japanese people on the tour, I think you'll really feel like you're abroad!

今年の夏に家族で参加。カタマランは今回で3回目でしたがワイキキで乗るのは初めてでした。値段的にも安く海外リゾートの醍醐味を味わえるので是非参加をお勧めします。カタマランは大型船では味わえない爽快感を味わうことができますし、比較的日本人がいないツアーなので海外に来たことを実感できるとおもいますよ!

Two foreign staff members assisted us, one as the driver and the other explaining the parasailing and helping us put on life jackets.

They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so it was fine even if you didn't understand English.

While the foreigners flew one by one, I requested to go up together with another person.

At first, the boat sped off quickly, which was overwhelming, but once we were flying, it wasn't scary at all!

In fact, the wind was refreshing and the view was great☆

At the end, they playfully dropped us into the sea, but if you say "NO," they won't let you fall. Haha!

The flying experience went by in a flash!!

It was $15, and they also took photos. Since it was on film, we couldn't check them on the spot, but they had a telephoto lens, so they took pictures even after we were flying. I’m looking forward to the 24 shots we took.

Tips are requested separately. It might be a good idea to bring a little cash for tips for the camera.

担当してくれたのは外国人の方が二人で、運転手とパラセイリングの説明やライフジャケットを着せてくれて、上にあげてくれる人。

最後に愛嬌でぼちゃんと海に落とされるのですが、ちゃんとNOといえば落とさないでくれます。笑

あっという間のフライングでした!!

A horse that walks only on the right side. 右端ばかり歩く馬

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

If you want to go horseback riding but don't want to do it at Kualoa and would like to do some sightseeing as well, I think this is a great option.

There were six participants, two people in three groups.

After being picked up before 9 AM, we were taken by our guide Wayne to Moanalua (the tree, what kind of tree is this?) → Dole → Haleiwa (for lunch) → North Shore (to see turtles) → horseback riding → and then back home.

It seemed that all the participants this time were repeat visitors who had already experienced the classic Oahu sightseeing course before horseback riding, so I thought it would be nice if we could arrange stops based on the participants' preferences.

The horseback riding was fantastic. Unlike Kualoa, where you ride in large groups for about 30 minutes, this time there were only eight of us: four Japanese, one from the West, and three from Southeast Asia, allowing us to take our time and climb the mountain over 90 minutes. It didn't feel at all like the experience of being "just put on a horse and walked" as it does at large facilities.

For some reason, the horse I rode had a habit of walking along the right edge of the mountain path, constantly bumping into trees and leaves.

It seems that the operation is run by a man and a woman who appear to be the owners, so there might be some horses that haven't been trained well. That was interesting in its own way. My wife was laughing the whole time watching me bump into the trees!

乗馬がしたい、でもクアロアじゃヤダ、一部観光もしたいという方にオススメだと思います。

参加者は2人×3組=6人でした。

朝9時前のピックアップ後、ガイドのウェインさんに連れられてモアナルア(この木何の木)→ドール→ハレイワ(昼食)→ノース(亀)→乗馬→帰路という行程をこなします。

今回の参加メンバーは皆リピーターで乗馬前のオアフ観光鉄板コースは既に体験済みのようだったので、参加者の度合いに応じて寄るところをアレンジ出来ればいいなと思いました。

乗馬は最高でした。クアロアのように大人数で30分程度というわけではなくて、今回は日本人4人、欧米系1人、東南アジア系3人=8人というこじんまりとした人数でゆっくり90分掛けて山を登ります。大規模施設での乗馬のように「乗せられて、ただ歩いた」って感じはまったくありません。

私の乗った馬はなぜか山道の右端ばかりを歩く(癖)ので木にや葉っぱに当たりっぱなしでした。

オーナーと思わしき男性と女性の2名で切り盛りしているようですので、中には調教がうまくいっていない馬もいるのでしょう。
それはそれで、おもしろかったです。ちょいちょい木に当たる自分を見て妻は終始大爆笑でした!

Enjoying the North Shore~~~ ノースショア満喫~~~

Reviewed by: hahagattuso

From 2005 to 2009

For us, who visit Hawaii every year, horseback riding is an essential activity.

This time, I had previously participated in this course with another optional tour, but I decided to go again because I wanted to visit the North Shore.

The hotel pickup was on time.

There were three groups, including my husband and me, totaling six people.

The male guide was gentle and shared enjoyable stories about the scenery we saw while driving, including the history of the Ala Wai Canal and Waikiki, as well as filming locations for LOST.

First, we visited:
Moanalua Gardens - "This Tree, What Tree?"
Dole Plantation Gardens
Kahuku Shrimp in Haleiwa
Sea Turtle Point
And the main event, the valley horseback riding.

All the staff at the ranch only speak English.

However, we felt reassured because the guide had already given us a briefing on horseback riding.

The staff chose horses that suited us, and I was matched with a horse that I thought would be perfect for me.

We leisurely rode up and down the valley.

At times, we could hear the sound of the waves and feel the sea breeze, enjoying our time.

Both beginners and experienced riders can feel safe with the gentle horses.

The ranch dogs also accompanied us, making it a truly healing experience for both body and mind.

2005~2009年

毎年渡ハしている私達には乗馬は外せないアクティビティです。

きっと私はこの馬だろうなという馬をチョイスしてくれました。

初めての人も経験者の人も優しい馬たちなので安心できます。

牧場の犬達も一緒に付いてきてくれたりで心身共に癒される思いの一時でした。

Plenty of horseback riding たっぷり乗馬

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since my horseback riding experience at a ranch in Hokkaido, I had been thinking, "I want to ride a horse again!!" When I found this activity, I immediately signed up. There were other horseback riding tours available, but I chose this one because it offered a Japanese-speaking guide.

In the morning, I was picked up from my hotel and we headed to Dole Plantation and the North Shore, stopping at each participant's hotel. Along the way, our guide Wayne shared various stories in fluent Japanese, making the car ride enjoyable and never boring.

At Dole Plantation, our time was short, so I couldn't try the popular pineapple soft serve, but I was happy to visit since I had wanted to go there. Taking photos with the train in the background before departure also became a nice memory. By the way, the restrooms at Dole Plantation are spacious and clean, so I recommend using them.

Shortly after leaving Dole Plantation, the beautiful sea of the North Shore came into view, and I felt a rush of excitement. Our guide kindly parked the car in front of the famous North Shore sign, allowing us to take commemorative photos.

We had an early lunch in the town of North Shore. Since we participated on a Sunday, we had lunch at a stand selling "Huli Huli Chicken." There were also famous shrimp places in North Shore, but I had heard that "Huli Huli Chicken" could only be tasted at the weekend market, so I decided without hesitation. I was a bit nervous thinking, "Is it spicy?" but it turned out to be pleasantly spicy and delicious. The vendor also gave us something like pickled starfruit, which was tasty too.

After lunch, it was finally time for horseback riding. The canyon riding team took us to the mountain ranch first. This was where I had to say goodbye to Wayne, who was fluent in Japanese (crying).

At the mountain ranch, there was no Japanese explanation at all, and I struggled to understand everything in English. At first, I felt like crying, but the staff lady explained things with gestures, which gradually eased my anxiety about not understanding English.

The horse I rode was very free-spirited, and when it got thirsty, it headed straight for the water bucket on its own, giving off a "tough" vibe.

北海道の牧場で乗馬体験をして以来、「もう一度馬に乗りたい!!」と思っていたところ、ちょうどこのアクティビティーを見つけ、申し込みました。
他にも乗馬ツアーがありましたが、こちらを選んだ理由は日本語ガイドとあったからです。

朝、滞在先のホテルでピックアップしてもらい、各参加者のホテルを回りドールプランテーション、ノースショアへ向かいました。
途中、ガイドのウェインさんが流暢な日本語で色々なお話をして下さり、退屈することなく車中を過ごすことができました。

ドールプランテーションでは滞在時間が短いので、人気のパイナップルのソフトクリームを食することができませんでしたが、一度訪れてみたいと思っていましたので、嬉しかったです。
発車前の汽車をバックに写真撮影できたことも良い思い出になりました。
余談ですが、ドールプランテーションのお手洗いは広くてきれいなので、こちらでお手洗いを済ませることをお勧めします。

ドールプランテーションを出発してしばらすると眼前にノースショアの美しい海が目に入り、何だか興奮してしまいました。
有名なノースショアの看板の前で、わざわざ駐車して下さるので、こちらでも記念撮影できます。

ノースショアの街で早めの昼食タイムがあります。
私たちは日曜日の参加でしたので、「フリフリチキン」の屋台(?)で昼食を取りました。
ノースショアで有名なシュリンプのお店もありましたが、「フリフリチキン」は土日のマーケットでしか味わえないと聞いていたので、迷わず決めました。
「辛いのかなぁ」とドキドキしていたら、程よいスパイシーさで美味しかったです。
お店の人がスターフルーツのお漬物(?)みたいなのを配って下さり、そちらも美味しかったです。

昼食が終わると、いよいよ乗馬になります。
渓谷乗馬チームが先に山の牧場へ送っていただきました。
ここで日本語が堪能なウェインさんとはお別れです(泣)。

山の牧場では、日本語の説明は全くなく、ALL英語で聞き取るのに必死で、最初は泣きそうになりましたが、スタッフのおばさんが身振り手振りで一生懸命説明してくれたので、英語が分からない不安さは次第に消えて行きました。

私の乗った馬は、非常に自由気ままな馬で、のどが渇いたりすると勝手に水桶へ向かってしまったりと「手ごわそう」な雰囲気だ

また、是非参加したいです。

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>

It was fun! 楽しかった☆

Reviewed by: バブリー

I participated in the 9 o'clock session with a friend. It was quite empty, so we were able to sit comfortably inside the submarine. We saw sea turtles multiple times, and it was interesting to experience the blue world. The diving time was longer than I expected, lasting about an hour. However, the noise from the motor at the back of the submarine was terrible, and I could hardly hear the explanations, which was disappointing. I recommend sitting at the front in the direction of travel.

友達と2名で、9時スタートの回に参加しました。
結構空いていたので、潜水艦内はゆったりと座れました。
海ガメも何度も見れたし、ブルーの世界を体験できて面白かったです。潜水時間も思ったより長く、1時間くらいありました。ただ艦内後ろ側のモータ?音がひどくて説明がほとんど聞き取れなかったのが残念でした。進行方向の前側に座るのがお勧めです。

This was my second time in Hawaii. I had visited the North Shore before and loved the scenery and the town, so I wanted to go back. This tour included sightseeing at places I had been to before, like Moanalua Gardens and Dole, but I thought it would be fun to go horseback riding on the North Shore, so my husband and I decided to join.

At Turtle Beach, we met turtles for the first time, which we hadn't encountered during our last visit! In Haleiwa, we strolled for about an hour, including lunch, and we filled up on giant hamburgers at Kua Aina!

In the horseback riding group, there was a foreign family along with us, making a total of six people. My husband was trying horseback riding for the first time, and I hadn't ridden in a few years, so I felt a bit nervous seeing the size of the horses. However, they carefully explained the instructions, and they matched the horses to the participants' sizes—smaller horses for children and women, and larger ones for men.

We rode in a line through the mountains, with the lead instructor checking on everyone as we progressed slowly. The horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front without needing much direction, so I had no worries at all. The course had some ups and downs, which made it even more enjoyable. From the top of the mountain, we had a stunning view of the North Shore sea! The instructor took photos at the scenic points. The riding time felt long enough to really enjoy it. I think it's something that both adults and children can enjoy!

今回が2度目のハワイ。
前回もノースショアは訪れていましたが、その時の景色や街並みが気に入って、また行きたいと思っていました。このツアーには、モアナルアガーデンやDoleなど前回も行った場所の観光が含まれていましたが、ノースショアで乗馬なんて面白いかも♪と思い夫婦で参加しました。
立ち寄った亀ビーチでは前回は出会えなかった亀に初対面!
HALEIWAではランチ込みで1時間ほど散策。KUAAINAで巨大ハンバーガーを食べてお腹いっぱいになりました!

渓谷の乗馬参加者は私達の他に外国人ファミリー。子供を含む計6人でした。
主人は乗馬初挑戦、私も数年ぶりだったので馬の大きさを見て少し緊張しましたが、注意事項など丁寧に教えてもらえたし、子供や女性にはわりと小柄な馬、男性には大きい馬と体格に合わせて馬を選んでくれました。
6人で列を成して山の中を歩く、といった感じで先頭のインストラクターの方が参加者の様子を確認しつつゆっくり進んでいくのですが、馬はしっかり調教されていて特に指示をしなくてもちゃんと前の馬についていってくれるので、何の心配もありませんでした。
コースは起伏があってそれがまた楽しかったです。
山の上からはノースショアの海が一望できて、景色は最高!
撮影ポイントではインストラクターの方が写真を撮ってくれました。
乗馬時間は長く感じるくらい十分楽しめました。
大人から子供まで楽しめると思います!

I participated at the beginning of October. It was a relaxing trip in Waikiki, but I wanted to do some sightseeing in other places and also had a desire to go horseback riding, so I decided on this tour. I was torn between this and Kualoa Ranch, but I chose this one because the horseback riding time was longer and it included sightseeing in the North Shore.

The tour started with a meeting at the hotel at 9 AM. There were 10 people in total, including us, participating in the tour (all Japanese).

First, we made a brief stop at Moanalua Gardens for some photos. Next, at the Dole Plantation, we had about 30 minutes of free time to enjoy pineapple soft serve ice cream and stroll through the gardens. After that, we headed to Haleiwa. The drive was pleasant, with coffee fields stretching out along the way. It took about an hour and a half, but it didn’t feel long at all.

We arrived in Haleiwa around 10:30 AM. After that, we had about an hour of free time, including lunch. I heard there’s a famous garlic shrimp restaurant in Haleiwa, and it seemed like the other tour participants went there for lunch. Since lunch was quite early, I think those who decide to eat there should have a light breakfast that morning. We were dropped off at the Haleiwa Shopping Center and wandered around. We tried something called “Huli Huli Chicken” from a nearby food stall. This stall, which only opens on Saturdays, is quite famous and had many Japanese tourists. The whole roasted chicken was hot and well-seasoned, and while it may not look like much, I highly recommend it.

The horseback riding in the valley was a fun course with some ups and downs, but the scenery mostly felt like being in the forest. For experienced riders, it might be a bit lacking. However, they provide thorough instructions on how to ride and safety tips, so beginners will have no problem at all. After horseback riding, we stopped by Turtle Beach, but since we could see from the road that there were no turtles, we didn’t go down to the beach and headed back instead.

Although it was a bit rushed with the North Shore sightseeing and horseback riding in half a day, I was able to enjoy it as expected.

10月の初めに参加しました。ワイキキでのんびり過ごす旅行でしたが、他の場所も観光してみたかったのと、乗馬がしたいとう希望もありましたので、このツアーに決めました。クアロア牧場とで迷いましたが、乗馬の時間が長かったこととノースショアの観光も付いているということでこちらに決めました。
9時にホテルに待ち合わせでツアーはスタート。私達の他に4組10人がツアーに参加していました。(全員日本人)
まずはモアナルアガーデンに少し立寄り写真撮影。続くドール・プランテーションでは30分程の自由行動があり、パイナップルソフトクリームを食べたり、お庭を散策したり。その後、ハレイワへ向かいます。道中はコーヒー畑が広がっていたりして気持ちの良いドライブでした。時間にして1時間半くらいですが移動が長いという感じはしませんでした。
10時半くらいにハレイワに到着。その後昼食を含め1時間程の自由時間となります。ハレイワには有名なガーリックシュリンプのお店があるらしく他のツアー参加者の皆さんはそちらで昼食を取ったようです。昼食時間が相当早いので“ここで食べる!”と決めている方は当日の朝食は軽めが良いと思います。私たちはハレイワショッピングセンターで下ろしてもらいブラブラと散策。近くにあった屋台で“フリフリチキン”なるものを食べました。毎週土曜日だけ出店されるこの屋台は結構有名らしく日本人の観光客も多くいました。丸ごと焼いたチキンは熱々でしっかり味がついていて、見た目はさほどでもありません(笑)がおすすめです。
渓谷の乗馬は、起伏があり楽しいコースでしたが、景色はほとんど森林の中と言った感じでした。乗馬経験者には、少し物足りないコースかもしれません。ただ、馬の乗り方や注意点は丁寧に教えてもらえるので初心者でも全く問題ありません。乗馬の後は、ウミガメビーチに寄りましたが、道路からビーチが見下ろせるためウミガメがいないと分かるとビーチに降りることもなくそのまま帰路につきました。
半日でノースショア観光+乗馬だったのですこし駆け足でしたが、期待通り楽しむことができました。

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

Loved It

Reviewed by: Mapes

We booked this tour on line before arriving in Waikiki. Wondered if we had made a mistake, but the tour was great. We were picked up on schedule exactly as promised. Our tour guide, Sam, was informative and knowledgeable about the island and the culture.

The best part of this tour is the choices! The next best thing is how much time you have on your own to enjoy the activity choices. Couldn't have been better. Absolutely loved it! Would go again.
