Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Crew was great, saw two sharks but it was a great experience.

Reviewed by: Joey S

Careless shark diving was a great experience.
No GoPros allowed on this trip but they take photos for you and some videos.
We saw two sharks on this trip and sandbar and a Galapagos but they were very active and would come very close, but you can also see them 80 yards down, because the water is clear.
The last 10 minutes you are somewhat free to dive down and swim with them.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Amazing Experience!

Reviewed by: Okie4Sure

My Family and I didn’t really know what to expect with this cruise; we picked the deluxe lobster and steak dinner…. We were thoroughly impressed all the way with the deliciousness of the meal to the entertainment and the Polynesian culture dances! The service was impeccable, the people were very friendly and the cruise was beautiful especially the view of Diamondhead! I felt like the ship was in great condition and looked very nice too! I highly recommend!

  • Beautiful Ship!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Educational and entertaining

Reviewed by: Barry

Great place to visit. Highly recommend going but honestly will next time rent a car or take an Uber and just pay at the park or on line for tickets. We went with buffet and stayed for the show. Things could get hairy at the end because the bus you arrive in may not be the same you head back on. There are multiple buses waiting and you have to ask each driver if they are going to your stop. We were very lucky to hit the right bus on the first try. Need a better system. Great place to visit with kids. Folks there are super friendly.

Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & USS Battleship Missouri Tour - Tickets and Transportation Included

A must see tour

Reviewed by: Barry

How can you visit Honolulu and not see Pearl Harbor and the Missouri. Trip started off badly as our bus was over an hour late. It meant things we were supposed to see on the way to Pearl Harbor was squeezed in on the way back. Not good when you have made dinner cruise plans with the same tour company. Guide Ru Ru was pleasant but brushed aside the delay as being on “Hawaiian time.” Wish we had more time to spend at the Missouri.

Secret Oahu Full Day Circle Island Sightseeing - Small Group & Private Tours

Great tour, even better tour guide

Reviewed by: Barry

What a fantastic experience. The private tour is a great way to see the island. Travis listened to what we had already seen and understood what we were now seeking in a six-hour private tour. The guide on this kind of tour really makes all the difference and Travis was the perfect tour guide. Knowledgeable, personable and flexible, he gave us a rate look into what the locals enjoy about the north and Eastern parts of the Island. Took us to fun food places, hidden gems for nuts and tacos and we got to see amazing surfer scenes. Travis is our first call if we can make it back to Honolulu.

  • Thanks Travis for a great tour

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

Family vacation

Reviewed by: JAM

Came with a large party which consisted of small children. My little ones cried A LOT during the boat ride and I felt really bad, but the two gentlemen working were more than understanding. They provided free drinks, chips and snorkels for everyone and we were also able to bring our own. The tour itself was amazing! The Hawaiian ocean is breathtaking. We definitely want to return when our little ones are a bit older and hopefully they won’t cry next time around!

Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV tour

Do it! You will not regret it! Thrill of being on trails on an ATV and seeing real live movie sets as well as true World War 2 bunkers. Beautiful scenery! I would do this one over and over. I wanted to go slower and see some things in more detail. DO IT!
Word to the wise: my friend who went on the tour told me to not shower and wear clothes that will get dirty. Yes, plan on being a bit dusty at the end of tour, don't plan on a fancy dinner immediately after being on this tour, lol.

Wow. What a great, amazing and sweet Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch!
Regarding any ages, we had fun driving ATV vehicle through jungle and enjoyed visiting cages, raptors, bones, fossils and many… We have a great memory for exploring and wandering Kualoa Ranch. Kualoa Ranch is so much FUN, so we ❤️ that ranch.

The two services provided us a close captions for the instruction of how to drive ATV tour with transportation. We also did a follow-up driving's instruction on uphill and downhill for the safety.

The services were more happy to assist in taking pictures of us and the others.
We can't help laughing at the great pictures and short film. Thank the service very much. The services did an outstanding and amazing jobs. We love them.

Hawaii Nautical 2-Hour Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Sail - Morning & Afternoon Tours [Apr-Nov]

Amazing! So many turtles!

Reviewed by: Lauren

They weren't joking when they said "turtles sightings guaranteed" - I think we saw about 5 turtles at once, maybe more! The water was so clear that it made seeing everything, including eels and pufferfish, in the reefs so easy. The crew also found a sea urchin and an octopus that they brought up to the surface for us to see and learn about. They were a very fun group that made the experience easy and fun. We wanted to redo the experience all over again as soon as it was done! I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!
