Oahu
Had the best time on this trip. From the moment we checked in to the end of the day, Staff were sooo helpful and friendly. Everything was explained and the trip was just so much fun. Not to mention the live music on the boat was sooo good. I will definelty book again on my next trip to hawaii.
Our tour guides were great especially Matt. He was friendly and personable. Kildra was great too but more on the serious side. I understand however that it comes with the territory as you need to move along quickly and safely without trying to make it seem so. They made a good team.
My boys loved the excursion and it was the perfect opportunity for us to bond. We appreciate the opportunity to be on the sacred grounds. We also appreciate the knowledge that was fed to us about the importance of this area, along with the cool movie stuff.
Only down fall, my wife and and found out the previous night we are expecting a child and she wasn’t able to join us. We already paid and when I explained this to the checkin desk, they didn’t care. I understand if I was canceling the day off to not be reimbursed, however in this situation/circumstance we could have been offered our money back for one ticket.
Overall great time,
Thank you!
Parking was easy if you got there early enough. The lunch was offered as we got on the boat, so if you miss breakfast you won't have to wait long to eat. We got to try the paddle board and chill in the middle lounge area. The tide was pretty high and the current was pushing, but we still had a great time.
This activity is something I would recommend to all my friends as a must do! The sand bar was recommended to me by a friend and when looking at photos it looked amazing and it lived up to that expectation if not more! This is a fun group activity that can accommodate a large group and super easy to change the reservation if needed. Half of the group have never kayaked before and half have. The conditions the day of was cloudy and we had passerby showers with some choppy waves as we kayaked to the sandbar. It took about an hour there and another hour back, but if you have experience kayaking and the conditions are good, you may get there quicker. Something I would recommend is everyone getting single kayaks instead of doubles because it was easier to navigate with a single versus a double. Definitely a must do if you are in Oahu!
Aloha Grace! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review for us. Really great feedback, which we really appreciate. And so glad to hear you had such a good experience kayaking out to the sandbar through us at He'eia State Park. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!
Great company, great guides and great weather! First time parasailing and will for sure be signing up again!
This past weekend was mine and my daughters first time at Coral Crater Adventure Park doing the 3-line zip line tour, and it was a really fun experience! Definitely one of the most memorable experiences of our whole trip. We had tour guides Ethan and Holly, and they were literally amazing from start to finish on how they gave instructions, information about the establishment and zip lining, and overall great characters to be around. They made us feel comfortable, confident, like we were all a bunch of friends out having a good time on a nature adventure, and their jokes took the edge off of any fears of heights, etc that we had. At the establishment, there’s a lot of places to take photos. There’s some hibiscus bushes, plumeria trees, banana tree, mini goat coral and lots of chickens and roosters running around. I’d definitely recommend wearing shoes you REALLY don’t mind getting dirty lol because they will get muddy. This place is an experience I’d recommend.
Friendly staff. First time surfing experience feels good my kids love it.
Thank you Kexi!! It was a great time taking you and the kids surfing; you all rocked it out there. We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us, and we hope to see you back again soon. Aloha from the whole team!!
Full package, many activities
Family loved it!
Not enough time!
Wish it could last more to enjoy all the activities!
Great crew! Love how you can byob! Beautiful water and activities. Only wish it would be a bit longer. If you have booked a activity (tubing or banana boat) expect to lose about 30 mins for a 3-4 minute ride. Other than that all was great
We had a great time at the sandbar! The staff was friendly, professional and explained all the safety rules to ensure we all had a nice time. We enjoyed the live music to and from our destination. Our family was able to snorkel and use the kayaks and paddle boards. What a nice afternoon enjoying the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay!!
My wife and I had a great time with Captain and crew. Enjoyed the bay, sandbar, watching sea turtles, and meeting new friends from around the country.
Great burgers and cold drinks were perfect to make this excursion a must book experience on your island vacation.
First of all, the staff is amazing. So fun, nice and helpful in all ways. Make sure to go during low tide though. We ended up going during high tide and wasn't able to touch the floor. Other than that, everything was great!
It was just okay. Boarding went quickly and was fairly organized. You weren't too crowded in the dining room, however it was HOT. They need fans. We were sitting on the sunset side on the outside and the sun was in my face the entire meal. Between the sun, heat and movement of the boat I was miserable. I don't normally get seasick, but combined with the extreme heat and lack of breeze I felt like crap. I couldn't wait to get up top where there was a breeze.
The buffet had what was advertised, but it was a minimal selection. In my opinion it left something to be desired, I didn't even eat one plate. The desserts were okay, the fruit was fresh. The wait staff was friendly and efficient.
We did have a spectacular sunset and it is amazing to see from the ship. We missed most of the entertainment because I needed to be up where there was a breeze but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. We went on Friday to see the fireworks. There were so many people topside that we couldn't stand on the side of the ship you needed to be on to watch them. (You want to be on the right side.) We wound up going back to our seats (2nd level) and had a perfect view of the end of the fireworks display. Overall I couldn't wait for the evening to end so I could get off the ship and get into the air conditioning. Personally I would not go again, but as I said a lot of people did seem to be enjoying themselves. I should mention, I'm not overweight, so that is not why I was so hot, they really need fans in those lower areas. Had I not been so miserable because of the heat I may have had a better experience.
I book this for me and 3 other people. We absolutely loved everything! The boat ride was really comfortable and they did their best to keep parties separated for COVID safety. We added the banana boat to our day and it was a little scary but so fun! I was having a tough time getting on the board but the staff was super helpful and reassured all of us. I wish we got to ride the boat more than once or later in the day, but it was still fun.
Overall, the trip was great and the staff provided so much to do!
We went on a Friday for the fireworks. Everything from the food entertainment show and service was over and beyond. Would highly recommend! The sunset was absolutely beautiful.
On the day of the sandbar, unfortunately, we left Waikiki with a feeling of disappointment due to the bad weather, but that feeling was blown away once we got on the boat (*´-`).
I believe there were two boats in total, one filled with Japanese people and the other with foreigners, each departing separately.
The crew member Yukiko was very cheerful and funny, teaching us various things. On the boat ride to the snorkeling area, we followed the directions and were able to see a honu and a manta ray.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see them underwater, but I was very excited to see so many fish.
It was a tour that made me want to participate again next time.
5泊した中でまさかのサンドバーの日だけ生憎の天気に残念な気持ちでワイキキを出発しましたが、そんな気持ちも船に乗れば吹き飛びました(*´-`)
日本人ばかり集めた船が一隻、外国の方で一隻の合計2隻でそれぞれ出発だったと思います。
クルーのゆきこさんはとても明るく面白く、色んなことを教えてくれました。シュノーケリングエリアまでの船で指示通りの方向を見に行くと、ホヌとマンタを見ることができました。
残念ながら水中では見ることはできませんでしたが、沢山の魚にとても興奮しました。
また次も参加したいと思える様なツアーでした。
You should definitely go on a sunny day! It was unusually rainy on the day I went, and I thought it would have been really amazing if it had been clear. It didn't seem like we could see any turtles or anything like that.
絶対晴れの日に行くべきです!当日は珍しく雨が降ってしまったので、これで腫れていたら本当に最高だろうなと思いました。亀などは見れるような感じではありませんでした。
We had a BLAST! Very friendly crew & good music.
The sea was beautiful and very pleasant. The waves were rough, and I got seasick. If you're not good with boats, you might want to be careful.
海も綺麗で非常に気持ちよかったです。
波が荒くて船酔いしてしまいました。
船が苦手な方は気をつけた方がいいかもしれません。
Amazing tour. So much fun. The people who work there are so friendly and fun. Definitely want to go back.
I was a bit suspicious of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, but it was truly amazing. The weather was clear on the day, and the sea looked even more beautiful. There were about equal numbers of Japanese and English speakers on board. With a Japanese guide present, those who don't understand English can feel at ease. At the sandbar, they set up a beach volleyball court, which everyone enjoyed regardless of nationality. The BBQ hamburger for lunch had freshly grilled patties that were very juicy. After that, we saw many sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, and I even had the chance to swim with a manta ray while snorkeling. (It's said that encountering sea turtles and manta rays on the coral reef is quite rare.) Overall, I was very satisfied. However, please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly, even on the backs of your knees. You will regret it otherwise.
最高レビューばかりで若干サクラを疑ってましたが本当に最高でした。
当日は快晴で、海が一層綺麗でした。
日本人と英語スピーカーと乗船は半々くらいでした。
日本人のガイドさんもいたため、英語がわからない方でも安心です。
サンドバーではビーチバレーコートを設置してくれ、国籍とわずで楽しめました。
お昼のBBQハンバーガーは焼きたてのパテがとてもジューシーでした。
その後海亀ウォッチは沢山の海亀が見れ、
シュノーケリングでは偶然マンタと泳ぐこともできました。(珊瑚礁での海亀やマンタとの遭遇かなりレアだそうです)
全てを通して大満足です。
ただし日焼け止めは膝裏までしっかり塗ってください。痛い目を見ます。
This is my third time parasailing, with the first time in Hawaii and the second time in Guam. The parasailing in Hawaii was great, but the experience in Guam was very disappointing. Parasailing in Hawaii is definitely the best.
3回目のパラセイリングですが、1回目がハワイ島で2回目がグアムでした。
1回目のハワイ島でのパラセイリングが良くて、グアムで乗りましたが非常にショボくてがっかりしました。
やっぱりHawaiiでのパラセイリングは最高です。
From pick up point to going home, the tour was incredible.
On arrival there was time to look at the other attractions such as the farmer's market, the petting zoo (get to pat a tortoise?)
I would say our guide had to be really good, if not, it is hard to appreciate locations (especially they are just views, really). Our tour guide would make up 85% of the tour.
This tour is recommended if you are a movie/TV fan.
We arrived early so the receptionist said they could fit us in sooner than our appointment so we agreed. It was fine at first once we got on the boat but my excitement started to fade once he started fitting me for my harness. I am a plus size female but the harness “fitted” to me was way too big. It won’t be apparent until we’re in the air, unfortunately. I did the experience with my mom since we came to Hawaii for her 55th birthday. Once in the air, it was very obvious my harness was way too big. If I didn’t hold on for dear life, I would’ve probably fallen back. I didn’t feel safe or secure. The whole experience caused me undue stress & anxiety especially since we were at 1000 feet. The guys on the boat were nice, no complaints about them except for the fact they dipped the other participants 3 or 4 times while they only dipped us once in the ocean. When we docked, I told the receptionist & she dismissed my concern. Not happy with the harness sizing; the one dip in the ocean AND how my concern was handled. I wouldn’t recommend this company. Go with another company!
So fun! This is one of my favorite boats. I liked that it had a covered cabin area for those who wanted to get out of the sun for a bit. The start time mid-morning was great to have a bit of a sleep-in. We headed out to Turtle Canyon, about 5-10 minutes sail from the shoreline. The snorkel gear and fins were good quality and we saw TONS of turtles!! After snorkeling for about an hour, the crew sailed the Waikiki coastline to Diamond Head and we had lunch while we sailed. This one also comes with 2 drinks. The boat was pretty spacious so we had room to move around. Overall, great experiences & great crew!!
100ft underwater. We saw turtles, fish, sunken ships, and sunken planes! Visibility on the day we went was crystal clear and we took tons of photos. I went with my good friend and she brought her 4-year-old. He absolutely loved it!! One thing though, the shuttle boat from shore to the submarine drop zone can be really windy. I packed a jacket which the kiddo was glad that I need since it got a little breezy. Once we were in the submarine, it's fully air-conditioned so I'd have a light jacket if you get cold easily.
Aloha !
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your recent experience with us, aboard the Atlantis Submarine, from the shuttle boat ride to the deep-sea exploration. We love hearing from our guests and are thrilled to know you had a fantastic submarine adventure! Thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback and recommendation.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise.
Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii.
A hui hou (until next time).
Yes, it's early. But, we LOVED the early sail. Less boats on the water and calmer ocean conditions. If you're looking for a unique cultural experience, this is it. We did the morning cruise and were the only 2 guests on the boat which was really cool. The boat limits capacity to 6-guests. As a local resident, I really liked how the two main hosts of the cultural experience and the Captain were Kamehameha graduates. This boat also offers midday cruises and sunset. Overall, the morning sail was calm and one of the truly unique sails here on Oahu.
Great way to see a lot in 1 day! We flew over from Oahu to Big Island and spent the entire day learning about Volcanoes National Park. Akaka Falls was gorgeous too!
We did the land tour and helicopter combo. Unfortunately, the helicopter tour cancelled because of weather. We joined the rest of the group who was doing the land-only option and saw a few really cool spots including Liliuokalani Gardens and other parts of Hilo town. I wore comfortable shoes (running shoes) and am glad I did because we did quite a bit of walking.
I had tried to go on this tour previously for the flight school but it cancelled. This time, we opted for the scenic flight. The experience was pretty cool - and really immersive especially if you have an interest in aviation.
It was really rainy and we had called a couple times on the way to the airport to see if the flight was going out. The cloud cover was pretty low on the northeast side so a lot of the mountain view was obstructed. Overall, pretty cool tour but wish the weather cooperated with us!
Would go again for the flight school option!
8 ziplines, 2 rappels, and 3 sky bridges. This course has the longest zipline on Oahu with one of the zips being 1/2 mile long. I loved having ocean views throughout the ziplining experience. There were water stations throughout the course. We did the afternoon zipline and I'm so glad I wore plenty of sunscreen! Prepare to work up a sweat as you go throughout the course. There's stairs for some of the zipline platforms. Overall, really nice ocean views, friendly staff & had a blast!
