Oahu
I was shocked to find we could not bring our purses in to the facilities. I did not read anything about this on my reservation. There were a lot of people at Pearl Harbor and there was not enough time during the excursion to go into the museums and gift shops. I felt rushed the whole time. Our driver was super nice and very knowledgeable. I feel like this excursion needs more time! There was not even enough time to eatunch and we were starving!
Grant, Garrett, and Hunter were the best guides! This is a must for people who love making memories. Definitely for people who are adrenaline junkies as well. Absolutely loved it and thanks to CLIMB works for the wonderful memories!!
At the Royal Hawaiian Theater, I enjoyed the Hawaiian dance performed by beautiful men and women, along with wonderful singing, and a show featuring impersonators of Elvis and Michael, all from my VIP seat, which allowed me to see everything up close and personal. The food was also incredibly delicious. It was the best night in Hawaii.
ロイヤルハワイアンシアターで、美男美女のハワイアンダンスや素敵な歌声、またエルビスやマイケルのそっくりさんのショーに、VIP席だったので、目の前で見られて迫力満点でした。
食事も大変美味しく頂きました。
最高のハワイの夜でした。
The staff was very friendly. We did see multiple turtles & fish. We were taken to a small area with 5 other boats so swimming in the water was like walking through Disneyland. People were kept in a very small area. They said 60 mins of swimming but it felt closer to 45 mins, maybe. If you want to see coral and explore freely, this is not the tour for you. If you want to see some turtles and fish this is a nice starting point. They offer 3 alcoholic beverages which are impossible to drink on the short return home and none are permitted prior to snorkelling. We only got this one b/c others were sold out, but if you really want those beverages be prepared to drink fast ;-). I wouldn't do this one again.
It's been three years since my last trip to Hawaii. I chose this opportunity to enjoy Hawaii with my 73-year-old parents! It was easy and accessible! Thanks to the strong winds, I was able to catch some great waves, making it an incredibly fun experience!
3年ぶりのハワイ。73歳の両親を伴って ハワイを満喫できるOP!気軽にできる!!という事で 選びました。
強風のおかげで、いい波に乗れ最高に楽しい体験でした‼️‼️
It seems you thoroughly enjoyed your time in Hawaii after three years! Thank you for the five-star rating. We look forward to your next visit!

Overall, this was a great tour for a first time visitor to Oahu. We liked the variety of sights and experiences. Our guide was also very knowledgeable and funny. The tour was well paced and we didn't feel like we needed any extra time at any of the spots. The complimentary water bottle and malasada were a nice touch!
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.
Sun came out! Spectacular views! Kayaking can be difficult, but really enjoyed the views!!!
Aloha Douglas! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review. We really appreciate that. It certainly can be difficult paddling in ocean conditions, but definitely worth it for how beautiful it is, and hopefully a fun adventure and a good workout. Glad to hear you had a great kayaking experience with us. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
We had han awesome time at kaneohe bay. Crew and performers were great. Its worth it!!! Highly recommend booking it on your trip to hawaii.
We had the best time on this tour. Our driver, Lola had a wealth of information to provide during the tour. Her fun personality made the trip worth while. There were so many Beautiful views to see. We were given poi donuts in the morning. I was nervous to try it, but let me tell you... they were so good! This is a must do experience and you will be lucky if Lola is your tour guide!
What a great way to do something different on Oahu.
Horseback riding is also available, but we chose the UTV tour of this ranch, as we are UTV people.
Got to explore this 1000 acre ranch near the North Shore.
Picked fresh fruit, fed cows, had a nice brown bag lunch on top of the hill, with outstanding views below of the ranch, to the ocean.
Go slow, or rip through the ranch, you choose.
Super fun way to do non-beach activities and absolutely loved it!
Would visit again.
Nice way to spend a few hours out in the middle of the bay, on a sandbar.
Boat docks right up to the sandbar, and you are out to play in the water.
Snorkeling was ok, but there are cayaks, paddle boards to try, sandbar volleyball, and banana boat rides to enjoy.
Unique experience that offers something for most.
We had a family of 5 and we enjoyed trying new things and just soaking the fun and AMAZING scenery of the windward side of Oahu.
Give it a go.
We wnt on the morning run, leaving most of rhe rest of thedsy to do something else.
Our tour was amazing, perfect amount of stops and perfect amount of time spent at each stop. Our tour guide Lola was awesome. She got us yummy donuts to start the tour off and she was super knowledgeable about everything throughout the tour. Could not have asked for a better experience, and would definitely recommend to anyone that is looking to site see or get to experience Hawaii.
Overall the experience was amazing and very enjoyable. The tour guide named Lola was very passionate about what she was talking about and it was easy to tell that she enjoys her job. She tries to make the extra effort to make the experience that much more fun, knowledgeable, and enjoyable. All of the stops were very enjoyable and the experience is unforgettable.
The tour started with a prompt and convenient pickup from our hotel by our driver and guide, Jonah. It was nice that we stopped for malasadas from a Leonard’s bakery truck since we had such an early breakfast. As we made it out of the city our guide gave us local facts and insights about the different neighborhoods we passed through.
It was interesting to learn about an abandoned tramway used by the military in WW II that is now a hike trail near the Koko Head Crater. There were plenty of photo-ops at the Makapuu and Halona blowhole lookout and the Ka Iwi Scenic shoreline.
Although we ran into some traffic due to road construction, we still made it on schedule for the Macadamia Nut farm stop for shopping and the KuaLoa Park for more photos. Lunch at the Kahuku Sugar Mill was one of the trip’s highlights where we even got to chat with some local folks. We chose Da Bald guy food truck-- the fried ahi tuna and garlic shrimp plate combo was the best!
Next, we watched surfers catch waves and spotted turtles near Haleiwa shores. We then enjoyed driving through a stretch of farmland leading to the last of the trip stop which was the Dole Plantation.
I was happy to have chosen this “smaller group-size tour” in a smaller but comfortable van rather than being in a bus tour with fifty or more people. Our guide was personable…He offered to take our photos, gave us bottled water, and had a small stool ready for petite folks like us. We were even impressed by his knowledge of all Hawaii-Five-O and CSI Hawaii trivia! Overall, we got a grasp of life in the North shore. I would recommend this tour if you like a relaxed pace tour or for first time visitors.
Hello Ilene,
Thank you for the review. I had a good time taking you guys around the Island. Da Bald Guy is one of the best food trucks out there. I was glad you got to experience the other side of the Island. Hope to see you guys again.

The place was amazing!!! Exceeded my expectations. Our guides Elana and Saya were the best. They were really nice. In fact, everyone were nice. Aunty’s restaurant was great. The food was really tasty with quick service and reasonable price. Our ATV tour was a blast!!!!! We would do it again. Glad we chose the ATV tour and opted for the shuttle pickup service. Thank you. Mahalo!!!!
What an amazing trip. So pleased we booked this experience with them. Very friendly and helpful staff. Such fun. Highly recommend.
This 3-experience tour takes all day and lunch is provided! The tour guide/drivers were hilarious, and the rides were jumping! Saw all that was advertised and more. I don't suggest it for young kids, all three experiences might be too much!
Didn’t have great weather so we didn’t see the sun nor did the water look that super nice shade of blue. Also didn’t see the sandbar??? They said it was high tide so was kind of just like being on the ocean. They food was a a croissant sandwich that was probably purchased at the grocery store that day and they ran out of salad, I’m glad I brought snacks because I was still pretty hungry after. Band was great but we only hear them on the 15 minute boat ride out and back. Overall fun day though would recommend!
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!
I participated in this tour with my daughter who lives in Hawaii. It is stated that lunch is included in the tour, but currently, it is not. I confirmed with the staff whether lunch was included, and they said it is available for purchase at an additional cost. Also, there was no explanation about the whales in either English or Japanese.
I didn't have high expectations for lunch based on past comments, but since lunch is not included, I feel that other tours would have been better. (It's not good to have misleading information...) The main purpose of this tour, which was to see whales, was fulfilled as we were able to see them multiple times, so that was good.
Regarding infection control measures, there was no confirmation of vaccination or presentation of negative test results. The staff wore masks, but all the passengers were not wearing masks. It's best to think that this is the current situation in Hawaii. Additionally, many tourists are coming from the mainland United States, where overseas travel has become difficult. There were a lot of people on this tour as well. I thought we were the only Japanese and Asians there.
ハワイ在住の娘と参加しました。
こちらのツアーは昼食付きと記載されていますが、現在はついていません。スタッフにもついていないんですか?と確認しましたが、昼食は有料で購入との事でした。また、クジラについての解説は英語、日本語ともにありませんでした。
過去のコメントから昼食への期待はあまりしていませんでしたが、実際に昼食がついていないのであれば、他のツアーの方が良かったなーと思いました。(嘘の記載は良くないですね...)
このツアー1番の目的である、鯨は何度も見ることができたので良かったです。
感染対策に関しては、ワクチン接種確認も陰性証明書提示もありません。スタッフはマスクをしていますが、乗客はみなノーマスクです。それが今のハワイの現状だと思った方が良いです。それと、ハワイは海外旅行ができなくなったアメリカ本土からたくさんの観光客が来ています。このツアーも大勢の方が乗船していました。日本人、アジア人は私たちだけと思いました。
Dear Barney,
Thank you very much for your recent use of our services. We are delighted to hear that you were moved by the whales.
Thank you for your feedback regarding lunch. Upon checking, I found that it was not included in the tour. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the error in the tour page description. Although you compared it with other tours and booked this one that included lunch, I deeply regret that it left you feeling disappointed on the day of the tour.
We have corrected the description you pointed out. To prevent similar inconveniences in the future, we will strive to improve our services.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,

Perfect location, easy to find and board.
Boat is great.
Crew are amazing, professional and fun
The trip duration is just long enough.
Plenty of turtles and things to see
Ride back is great...the beverages for the ride are really nice too.
This was one of my best days on O’ahu and every day was great. Definitely a must. The scenery, swimming is wonderful. Of course the highlights were the turtles. The crew is very nice and helpful. if you don’t feel comfortable snorkelling they guide you and stay with you. The three hours is not too long or short.
We're very pleased to hear you're having a great time at the sandbar.
Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your best experience with us with the Capt. Bruce tour.
We're looking forward to seeing you in neat the future. Mahalo!
Love the musics and fun, many activities …………………………
I recommend it not 100% but 1,000,000% and believe me that they are not paying me for these letters that I write, good organization, punctual, very clean, everything
Had a great time! Amazing Crew! Great activities! Live Music was excellent!
The staff was friendly! The catamaran felt safe and was clean. With drinks included, it was very reasonably priced. Will definitely do it again when we have visitors!
Very we enjoyed a lot my kids had fun food was good dance was good very nice
The crew was so welcoming and sweet! I’ve been to Hawaii almost 10 times but this was my first time at the Sandbar. It is really nice if you also just want to enjoy the water and beautiful weather. The activities are a bonus. I lost my earring and they literally snorkeled for about 20 min and actually found it. Super cool people :) I will definitely be back, hopefully next time w family and friends.
My husband and I had a great experience on this cruise! The music was awesome and not to mention being able to enjoy water activities for a few hours. Would definitely do this again and we strongly recommend.
