Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

We had a great time!

Reviewed by: cswan

Liz was our instructor/guide and she was awesome! She made sure that we were comfortable in water all the time. She helped us see fish and shells. She took great videos for us to take home. Also, she found a sea urchin skeleton for my son to take home as a souvenir! Thank you so much, Liz! We had a great time! :)

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove experience

Reviewed by: Rbj

We had a very enjoyable time at Paradise Cove. From the start when our bus driver and tour guide picked us up until they dropped us off, it was exceptional. The activities before the main performance were very good. The live performance was exceptional. The dancers and other performers were great. The food and beverages were good as well. All in all, this was one of the highlights of our vacation on Oahu.

1-Hour Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tour - Waikiki Morning & Afternoon Marine Life Cruise

Lots of fish

Reviewed by: Rbj

We had a very enjoyable trip near Waikiki to view fish and turtles. Our captain and guide were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They knew where to take us to look at the animals. They provided lots of information about the fish as well as the area near which they were found. They were also very helpful with taking pictures with great backgrounds. The timing was just about right--not too long bringing on boredom in younger patrons, and not too short with no opportunities to actually see the animals in their natural habitat. It was a good experience for our entire group.

Beautiful spot with lots of activities. Super fun, highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Amanda

It was an amazing experience! The sandbar is such a unique and beautiful location making it very memorable. The staff were very attentive and made it a safe and super fun time. Lots of activities that you can do and there's enough time to do everything. I highly recommend this trip. I went with my significant other and we really enjoyed it, but we also would highly recommend going with a group of friends.

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

Amazing Luau Experience!

Reviewed by: Valerie

This luau is an absolute MUST! Everyone was so welcoming and put on the best show! You have a chance to learn about Hawaiian culture and the comedy intertwined into the performances kept us rolling with laughter. The whole family helps with the performance and you can absolutely tell that they love what they do. It was the most fun that we had here in Hawaii! The food was delicious, as well! Highly recommend!

Aloha and mahalo to you! to say we are an "absolute must" is indeed heart-warming. Please be assured that we will keep your kind words to heart to be able to always be at our best during the luau - we are sooo thrilled to have had you as a guest and we are hoping to see you again when you're back.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

A perfect morning

Reviewed by: Betsy

This was exactly what I needed to do for a spring break morning after a stressful half semester. The staff were super friendly. I really appreciate that the SUP boards and kayaks were available for anyone to use at any time, as well as that we were not required to give up our kayak after any given period of time. We ended up spending most of our time floating and paddling. The reef is also great for snorkeling, with some unusual sea cucumber things I hadn't seen elsewhere in Hawaii.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

This is perfect for kids and non-swimmers as it's shallow for miles!

Reviewed by: Bay Area Local

This was a fun half day trip. Parking is free which is a plus. It's great for big groups, newcomer's to Hawaii and families with kids. The sand bar is shallow, so it's easier on non-swimmers. The equipment was in good condition and clean. The staff was great and very helpful. It's BYOB and food so that's a treat and you're not locked in to some random meal that you don't like. Spend the extra money for the Tube Ride, it's worth it. The entertainment is wonderful and legit! There is so much local talent in Hawaii and it was a pleasure to have see some. We did the morning boat and my teenagers loved it and it was just enough time for them to be able to get back and surf in the afternoon. I highly recommend this excursion and like any industry, tipping is always a great way to show gratitude.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

A must for any vacation

Reviewed by: Eezy

My fiancée and I did the afternoon session and our experience was amazing. Even though the time it takes from the marina to the sandbar isn't too long the singing brahs were amazing. They can really sing and are truly great souls. The staff was extremely friendly and very knowledgable in all the activities that they offer. Im not a small guy and they were able to guide me and get me to be able to paddle board standing up on my first time ever trying the activity. They always made sure everyone was safe while doing all the activities they offer. I would 100% recommend visiting the sandbar during your vacation!
