Royal Star Pearl Harbor Experience with Tickets to Arizona Memorial & City Tour

Worth it!

Reviewed by: Amj616

Tony was a great guide! The trip was definitely worth it! I wish they wouldn't make you drive to Waikiki if you aren't staying in Waikiki. Only Pearl Harbor tour we could get booked and it was great!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Great time!

Reviewed by: Niks

There was ample parking at the facility and we were able to quickly find the check in table. The staff let us know that due to higher than normal winds (15 mph, normal would be 5 - 10mph) they were offering people the option to rebook. We opted to continue since it was the only day we could do this.

Staff said it usually takes about 30mins to get to the sandbar. We are by no means super kayakers, took us about 45mins to get there. Spent about 2 hours out there, eating snacks, snorkeling with turtles and taking pictures.

Took about an hour to kayak back. Because of the winds, there were times when paddling didn't move us anywhere.

Overall great experience! Only rec would be to bring extra water. We each finished a 16oz and 24oz thermos, and were really thirsty by the end because of the sun.

I was hoping there would be an area where we could jump off the boat. But overall we had a good time and my kids really enjoyed it. The best part was the live music. The singer you had was spectacular and I wish he could have sang the whole time.

Horses, Beach views, and GOATS! This horseback riding trails is one to beat, The staff was super friendly and ready to strike up conversation, the horses are gorgeous and friendly and the view! Nothing beats looking at the shore while on a horse, but most importantly they have these goats that you know are up to no good haha.

Amazing Luau!

Reviewed by: Cindy

My entire family attend Chief's Luau and it was wonderful from top to bottom. They provided a huge amount of good food and moved people through the line quickly. Chief Sielu was delightfully funny, wise, heartfelt and shared his culture in such a beautiful way. All of the musicians, dancers and fire/knife dancers were absolutely amazing. All the performers showed such a passion and love of their culture. I would highly recommend this luau for anyone wanting to learn more about Polynesian culture.

Waikiki Turtle Canyon Snorkel Sail Holocaust Catamaran

Reviewed by: Angel

My family and I had a blast on our snorkel trip. This was our first time doing anything like this and it was amazing. We were able to see lots of fishes and turtles. The water was so clear that it made it so easy to spot fish. The captain and his crew were very professional and helpful. We had a great group of families with us and made the trip that much better. On another note we were able to see one of the crew members catch a fish on our trip. Fun time. Recommend for everyone to try.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour

Reviewed by: Angel

The whole tour was fantastic. My family and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the different cultures and stile of living and activities was astounding. The shows that they put on in each island was energetic and very informative. We also watched the final show the Breath of Life. Don’t want to spoil it so you have to come and see it in person. Part of our tour was the food that was included in our purchase. The food was phenomenal. So many different type of food from different cultures. Again you must come and experience it yourself. A five star in my books.

- I was a bit anxious on the bus since most of the people around me were foreigners, but once I got on the boat, there was a Japanese guide who was very polite and friendly, and I had a great time.
- There were also preschool children, which made me a little nervous, but thanks to the guide, I was able to enjoy myself without any worries.
- The hamburger on the boat was delicious, and I felt completely satisfied with everything! I want to go again!!

・バスの中は周りは外国の方ばかりで不安でしたが、船に乗ると日本人のガイドの方がいらして、とても丁寧かつフレンドリーに接していただき、とても楽しかったです。
・未就学児もいて少しドキドキでしたが、ガイドさんのおかげで全く不安なく過ごすことができました。

Is there a submarine experience in Japan? The wrecks of ships and airplanes were incredibly impressive, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was wonderful! Perhaps due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no Japanese guide, and I got a bit lost along the way, but it turned out to be a very valuable experience!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Good show/food, Odd location

Reviewed by: Megan

Pros:
Great show. Very entertaining for all ages. The fire dancing was amazing. Chief was funny and a joy to watch. The food was better than I expected with how many people they were feeding. They ran out of some of the items and for it being an all you can eat, they closed the lines down quickly after everyone had a serving. The food lines also moved quickly.

Cons:
The location. It is inside the wet n wild water park which definitely takes away from it being authentic. Some of the tables has shade but many didnt. They have you get there at 5 but thinks dont really start until closer to 545 so you are just sitting there roasting and burning. I expected more activities to do woth the family but there werent any to do at all except look at 2 booths of trinkets. You also have to use the wet b wild bathrooms and they were so so dirty and smelly.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

False advertisement

Reviewed by: Julio C

First and foremost, I have to give a shout-out to Ramsey because he was great. The kayak and experience itself was complete garbage. I was under the impression that we’d be at this beautiful blue sandbar in a glass kayak seeing all these beautiful turtles and looking at the gorgeous sea life underneath us. Come to find out, we would be kayaking at a disgusting creek with dead turtles and the nastiest water I’d ever be in with bubbles included. I watched a YouTube video where they advertised this website with a person on a beautiful blue ocean looking at sealife with this glamorous glass kayak. Meanwhile, I get a hazy plastic kayak with dead turtles in a bubbling green creek. Worst case of false advertising that I’ve EVER come across. I had to quit the excursion early because I was so disgusted and disappointed. I would NOT recommend this trip to anyone. Complete waste of time and money

Great day on the water!

Reviewed by: kp123

This was a great experience! We stayed in Waikiki and the pick-up and drop-off was amazing, especially at the end of the day since we were able to sleep on the shuttle home. Swimming around and playing volleyball on the sandbar was fun! The crew did a good job getting the passengers involved. After lunch we drove around and saw sea turtles before heading to the reef to snorkel. It was our first time snorkeling, but the crew was helpful making sure we were comfortable with the gear. We had a blast! Would definitely book this if you're looking to maximize your time with activities.
