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.

Very happy with this experience. I went with my coworkers and my parents and both party’s enjoyed the sandbar. They had kayaking, paddle boarding, tubing and more which was a great to spend our afternoon. Highly recommend booking this for friends and family.

Family of 5 had a blast. Tour guides were awesome. Felt safe the entire time. We arrived to the sandbar to other guides with SUP, floaties and little floats for my 3 year old to snorkel which was a nice surprise. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Afterwards we enjoyed some Dole Whip at the pier.

This was a great experience for the whole family. The tour guilds were awesome and made the trip super fun. They were very knowledgeable about the area and all the history of the Mt and island. Don't wear anything you don't want to get dusty, if your wearing a white shirt it will come out brownish by the end of the trip. There was nothing bad to say about the tour.

This was an AMAZING experience. The crew and the musicians were all super friendly. The sandbar itself was fantastic and absolutely gorgeous. The three primary activities: snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were all very enjoyable. There was ample time to try out and enjoy each activity at our leisure. During kayaking, we even got to see a sea turtle gliding along the sandbar! Overall, it was an incredible experience and I would definitely do it again.

Awesome tour. Great service and tour guides were very informative. Would recommend to everyone that visits the island. You really get to experience the true beauty of the island. We took the ATV tour, but there was electric bikes, horses and tour busses. Next time I would like to experience the tour on horseback. Great for the family.

Went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We were in Oahu for 2 days at the tail end of our trip. This tour was perfect for what we wanted to accomplish on our last day. The tour lasted roughly 4 hours and we had full transportation to the hiking sites, plus entry fee for Diamond Head. We were able to see the sunrise at Diamond Head which was a once in a lifetime experience!
Definitely recommend this tour for those who want to hike solo, but need the transportation.

The staff were really nice and the boat ride was cool. It was only 10 minute ride out to the snorkel spot and the drinks are served after the snorkeling, so there wasn't time to have advertised 3 drinks (which is fine, but jut something you should be aware of). The location itself does have sea turtles but the water is fairly deeps and the overall experience (as far as what one would expect) is pretty lack luster. Another tour operator was in the same location and they had a guide pointing out fish, turtles, etc. to ensure everyone got the opportunity to see the marine life, but this tour did not. Also, if you have your own PFD, bring it! My first PFD didn't hold air (a fun surprise) and the second one was at least 1/2 deflated by the time I got out. All in all, it was an okay time but I wouldn't do it again.

So I had the privilege of taking all my family to a trip to Hawaii but because getting a rental car can be a pain an expensive I decide to splurge and just book tours that included transportation…. Who wants to drive around during a vacation… it was all out first time to Hawaii so now that I know all the good spots I can’t wait to go back and explore on my own… we did the Royal star circle tour and it was worth it… it had a/c, a bathroom, opportunities for snack time and a hell of a spot for amazing local lunch options… we got to see up close and some spots actually explore the main hot spots of this amazing island… it’s so green and has a bit of the city flair but the locations that you get to see on this tour really show you the real Hawaii… I had a driver by the name of kalani! He was so funny and attentive to the littles ones in my group… the picture don’t do the trip justice… so if your looking for easy and a lot to check off in one day then this trip is for you… little warning… the day of the week determines on how busy some of the tourist location will be … I went on a Sunday and most places were packed! Another tip is sit on the passenger side of the bus it makes for great water views!

The employees were outstanding, wonderful lunch provided and a couple drinks to top it off. We saw turtles, eels, flying fish, and other tropical fish!! Then they took us out farther to find whales after lunch and we did get a few glimpses of some whales:) fun was had by all!!! Thank you !!!!

My overall impression of the trip was great. I was traveling with my family including young children. I think the time at each stop wasn't enough when with kids. It's always a delay with them but if your going just adults I feel like the time is perfect. So many different stops an beautiful mountains an ocean views. Our tour guide kalani was awesome. Very family friendly an communicative with the kids also very caring. Teddys Burger place was delicious. Sadly we didn't get enough time to ride the train at the dole plantation but the dole whip was delicious.

This luau was our first one but far superior to another one we did later in our trip. The food was great, the scenery gorgeous, and the performers were talented and entertaining. The MC Cousin Billy was truly funny and informative. We had a blast! The next day we did the hike to Waimea Falls and that was excellent as well. I could have floated in the waterfall all day. We spent part of each North Shore day at the Waimea Falls complex and I highly recommend it.
Aloha Michelle, and mahalo for your review! We are delighted to know you had a great time at the luau and we are so glad too that you were able to come back to Waimea Valley to tour the waterfalls and the botanical garden. Unfortunately, it's not something that everybody gets to do. I'm just so glad you made it. :-) Mahalo for your kind review really; it's something that we take joy from, knowing that what we have set out to do is meeting expectations, and we intend to keep it that way. We hope to see you again - come see us when you're back in the island. Until then, may God bless you and yours :-)

We had a great time at this ranch doing 3 different tours; Jungle Tour, Plant Tour and a Movie Tour! During each of these tours we had great tour guides who taught us lots of cool things about Hawaiian culture and sites. We would definitely go back to Kualoa Ranch and do the other things we didn’t do this time. The Movie Tour showed us the sites for lots of different movies so now I want to go home and watch all of them again! Great fun!! And definitely something I would do again!
