Oahu
The steak wasn't that good, but the crab and chicken were. Fireworks were nice but for the price we paid, I'm a little disappointed. The dances they performed are rhe same you would see at a luau. The men's slap dance was entertaining.
Kualoa Ranch is an amazing place full of great activities and staff. Our family took the ATV tour of the ranch with guides, Taeil and Orlando. It was 2 hours long with stops for picture opportunities and to soak in the amazing views. The guides shared the history of the ranch as well as fun facts about the movies and tv shows that have been filmed there. Both guides were funny and incredibly personable- truly representing the Aloha spirit. The ATV drive/ride was exciting and fun with the majority being easy to intermediate driving. We have great memories and pictures to last a lifetime. Highly recommend visiting the Ranch and taking part in their wide array of activities.
The sandbar and the hosts did a amazing job. I will be returning and letting my friends know!
For the cost this tour was great! The tour guide, Larry was excellent. He provided so much history as we drove to Pearl Harbor and gave clear instructions on what to expect at the site. This tour is good if you want a quick drive around Waikiki and its history and paying respect to Pearl Harbor. Very pleased!
Was a good day at the cruise , I enjoy it very much the day
The food was delicious and the cruise was very nice. The only thing is there were too many tables and left no room for the entertainment. There should have been a better stage set up.
The boat is so big. Not crowded. There were a lot of space which I love! We were able to see the sunset! The view is amazing! The staffs are super nice and friendly. They kept asking to take photos for us. Definitely recommend!
I thought Hawaii had strong winds, but the view from above was amazing. Still, near the mountains and valleys, I was impressed by the piloting skills. I experienced the best thrill of my life.
ハワイは風が強く吹くなと思っていましたが、上空はアメイジング、それでも山の近く、谷の近く、操縦には感服です。今までで一番の絶叫を体験しました。
Had a lot of fun with the gf doing all the fun activities!
My partner and I absolutely loved their sunset cruise! Their entire crew was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun. The day we boarded was just myself, my partner and another family of four, which made it a very relaxing and peaceful day experience. The music, food, and history was something we will never forget. Even though the water was calm that day, don’t forget dramamine if you get easily sea sick like myself! I felt so bad for probably looking so uncomfortable, because it’s absolutely a once in a lifetime experience! We are so grateful for the chance to have been on board with them.
Very fun vibe. Crew was fun and helpful. The live music was spectacular. We loved snorkeling! It was nice that you could do activities whenever you wanted and for how long you wanted. We did the afternoon and got our lunch as we boarded and it was good. Tide was higher, so we couldn't play volleyball but we got to go tubing and it was perfect for snorkeling. If you want a lower water level/less waves at the sand bar, I would say do the morning but we liked sleeping in and it was perfect for us as a couple. Families seemed to really enjoy it as well. I was really looking forward to this excursion and it met my high expectations for sure! Book it!
I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.
Hi Dan,
We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:
1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.
Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.
In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.
With Aloha
Overall, the day went smoothly! The staff gave us lots of advice on where to kayak out to: whether we wanted to go to the sandbar or out snorkelling to see some sea animals. It took us an hour to get out to the sandbar and about 45 minutes to get back to the rental area. Everyone was super helpful and accommodating. Don't forget to reapply sunscreen after heading into the water and kayaking back!
Aloha Jenny! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you also for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us! We really appreciate that. So glad to hear our staff took good care of you and that you had a great kayak and snorkel experience with us! Good advice about the sunscreen. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
SO MANY DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TO DO, A PICNIC LUNCH WA PERFECT FOR A BOAT DAY
The booking went smooth and the Shark dive was amazing
"BK" the tour bus driver is very knowledgeable and friendly gentlemen. He explained everything for us and made sure we were prepared. Highly recommended!
Overall an amazing experience from the start! Just walking in everybody is already a joker. The performances were captivating and incredible to watch. Not to mention the food that went with it!
1st time doing zipline with my son and we had a great time. All stuff are professional and friendly.
I appreciated leaving on time from the harbor. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The ride
allowed us to see the beautiful Kaneohe Bay. We were given ample time on the soundbar which is breathtaking. Snorkeling was also a lot of fun and we see a number of turtles. The lunch and service was great.
My family thoroughly enjoyed this snorkeling excursion. My kids said this was the best activity on our entire stay on Oahu. Thank you Holokai!
Friendly and informative staff! Gave us great recommendations on where in the waters to go. It was a very new experience being able to walk and snorkel around the Sandbar and we were very lucky to see and swim with a few turtles at the Sandbar as well!
Aloha Mira! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us! We really appreciate that. Stoked to hear that you had such a great kayaking, snorkeling, sandbar experience. And very glad to hear our staff took good care of you and the turtles cooperated! Hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
Our trip was amazing, food was great!
They gave us everything we needed; we hope to book again. The sandbar was great to be able to play volleyball and then snorkel and sea the turtles. Best adventure by far!
Dont expect to snorkel in waiste deep water without a life jacket.
Great trip with wonderful live music.
Staff was freindly and it was a great experience for young and old. Five of us ages 12-65 all enjoyed the experience.
I highly reccomend it.
Had a great time, a group of two teens and one adult. Worth the price and recommend getting the photos, but shots with the sun behind you didn't turn out too great.
In Honolulu, where the COVID-19 situation is improving, I felt there were still few Japanese tourists. Nevertheless, I participated alone this time. We moved towards Ko Olina and boarded a lovely boat from the harbor. Without any rocking, we encountered a pod of dolphins after about 20 minutes. Then we moved to a snorkeling spot and had an encounter with a sea turtle. After returning to the boat, I enjoyed some drinks and lunch, even though I was alone. A few people, including the captain, spoke Japanese, which was considerate for me as a solo traveler. Since there are few Japanese tourists, it might be understandable, but I think the fast-paced English explanations would be quite challenging without strong language skills. If possible, I would have appreciated it if printed translations of the explanations in Japanese were provided. Overall, it was a satisfying tour.
コロナが収まりつつあるホノルルは、まだ日本人が少ない印象でした。
それでも今回は一人で参加させていただきました。
コオリナ方面へ移動して、ハーバーから素敵な船に乗船してさど揺れることなく移動して約20分でイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
それからシュノーケリングのポイントに移動してウミガメとの遭遇。
船に戻って一人でしたがお酒やランチで堪能しました。
船長をはじめ数人が日本語を話せたので一人旅の私に気遣っていただきました。
日本人が少ないので仕方ないかもしれませんが、早口の英語の説明はよほどの語学力がないと厳しいと思います。
可能であれば、説明の内容を日本語の和訳でプリントしたものを配布していただけるとありがたかったと思いました。
トータル的には満足したツアーでした。
Fun little tour about hawaii farming. We got a few small samples. Also got to see where some movies were filmed.
I do not recommend this site especially for kualoa Ranch tours. There is no grace period at all, no flexibility. I booked 2 ATV tours for a whole family but ended up lost more than $500 because of 15mins late. Please book directly through their own website and will give us much more options when some emergency happens and we need to reschedule it.
I was 15mins late the check in time but the kauloa Ranch office does not allow any grace period time and asked me contact back to Veltra tour agent for rescheduling. I was forced to take other alternative tour at that day which is only worth 1/3 of the original package price that I already paid and ended up to lose more than $500. I was very upset about the Kauloa Rach Office response and Veltra feedback and assistance. I do not recommend use this website and please book through their website directly. Then there will be much flexibility.
My whole family were literally just looking outside of the valley and waited for 3 hours there.
If you choose a day that aligns with low tide, you can see the sandbar, so I think it's a good idea to do some research before going. Since it's a large catamaran, you can't land on the sandbar, but it will take you close to it. The boat can go to a depth of about knee-high during low tide, so you can enjoy the sea thoroughly. It was a great comfort that the boat had a restroom.
潮の干潮時に合わせて日を選ぶとサンドバーが見えているので、せっかくなので下調べして行くとよいと思います。
カタマランの大きい船なのでサンドバーに上陸はできませんが近くまで行きます。干潮時で膝くらいの深さのところまで船は行きますので十分に海を楽しめます。
船にはお手洗いがあるのが大きな安心感でした。
