Oahu
Took this activity with my family of 4 and we totally enjoyed every minute of it. Russel and his colleague were very thorough in making sure everyone on the boat were safe and following COVID protocols. As soon as we hopped on the boat, Russel briefed everyone about the safety protocols, DO's and DONT's during parasailing. This was a great experience esp for my kids (age 8 &10) as this was their first time. In the end, Russel took awesome pictures of us and I have received great comments about it from my friends, family. Thank you Russel for making this experience such a memorable one. Will definitely come back again in the near future.
I just loved it; beautiful evening, great staff, great music, good vibe from the other guests...I have already booked another cruise for this Summer.
What an amazing experience! You will not regret taking this excursion. People are beyond friendly and helpful and they really make it a pleasant experience. Sandbar was beautiful and snorkeling was really fun. Would do again for sure!
This was my favorite activity . The sand bar was spectacular and snorkeling with sea turtles made my whole life . Would 100 recommend to any one
Aloha Brttani! I don't know how I missed it, but I'm just now seeing your review. Thank you so much for leaving such an awesome review for us! That's amazing. We really appreciate that. And so glad to hear you had such a great experience kayaking and snorkeling Kane'ohe Bay with us. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!
Sunset Cruise on the Moana Catamaran was great. Do the sail without the food though, no time to eat it before you take off. Captain Johnny and his crew were great. Love the music and the view of Diamond Head, Waikiki and Honolulu was breathtaking. I highly recommend this Sunset Cruise!
Aloha,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are always happy to know that our team has done the best they can to ensure a delightful experience with the Moana Catamaran. Our sincerest apologies for the lack of time to eat before taking off. Often our customers enjoy eating during the sail, nonetheless we understand that some prefer to eat before leaving the harbor.
On another note, it is our pleasure to be able to share the beauty of Waikiki with our customers. Mahalo for your time and we hope to see you again soon!
My husband and I booked this cruise for my birthday and we were not disappointed. The crew was amazing and the captain even kept us out for additional time so ensure that we saw the sunset. The crew was fun and always kept everyone laughing and dancing. If you’re in the Waikiki area this cruise is a must and will not disappoint.
My husband said this was the best excursion we have ever done !
Our tour guide Paulo was fantastic!! We had such an amazing time on our two hour tour - we wish we could’ve stayed even longer. There is so much to see AND driving the ATV is so much fun. 100% would recommend and would definitely come back for another tour!
overall great crew and experience, stayed out 30 min longer to see a beautiful sunset. felt safe with our captain and how he handled the boat!
Good experience. We need more time in Pearl habour. 2.5hrs isn’t enough. Too much to unpack there
We saw more than we bargained. Dolphins and turtles
Well worth the money and something you will remember for years to come!
Sam was our tour guide and did a great job. It was the perfect balance between plenty to do and downtime. We did the falls and then paddle boarding up the river, where we saw sea turtles. The entire day was perfect. I would highly recommend it.
Aloha Kellie, we're super stoked that you had a great time with Sam! He is truly a cool and informative tour guide! Mahalo and a Hui ho!
Had a great time! Played volleyball on the sandbar for about an hour while the water was about 2.5 feet deep. Had a good hearty lunch with hamburgers, baked beans, pineapple, and a bag of chips. Boat then toured us over an area where sea turtles usually are. We saw well over 2 dozen, some were on the small side and some were massive in size. Boat moved over to the moon shaped reef where we snorkled for about an hour. Saw many tropical fish.
.Wear lots of sunblock and reapply.
Ample parking and easy to find.
I would have given Chief’s Luau a Great, because the entertainment was the best. Thee food ok. How ever I took our two boys 15 and 16. Paid adult prices. Was told by Veltra, that they could have a virgin Mai tai or coke, sprite, etc.. however they would not give the guys drinks unless I paid extra for them.
This is an amazing way to spend a couple hours. The views are great, it’s fun to drive the ATV, and the tour guides are super nice! It’s an excellent way to see the area. The ATVs have good suspension, so while you are bouncing around, it doesn’t hurt. I would love to do it again!
The only reason I gave an okay was because we ordered breakfast to have on the boat. Some how the company did not order the meals. We were told we would receive a refund. We have not received the refund yet but that also falls on me because I have not followed up. Our snorkeling date was March 16, I am writing this April 10th.
Tour moves pretty fast and you're on this school bus. (Hope you're on the right side otherwise you won't get a good view of half of the things)
So happy there were openings for me and my family while on vacation in Hawaii. This was beyond great and fun. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable of the area and super fun.
First, the crew was amazing! They were so helpful and made sure we were well equipped to enjoy every minute we were on this adventure. I was so excited to see the dolphins- I started hyperventilating a little as I was swimming toward the cree member that was finding the dolphin pods for our group. I didn’t want to cause a fuss or embarrass myself - so I just tried to calm myself and was promptly helped by another crew member who saw me and helped me to relax and calm my breathing so I could continue swimming. After watching the dolphins for several minutes under the water- they started showing off for us and jumping out of the water. It was thrilling. We stayed in the water for 20-30 min it seemed and I was amazed by the beauty of it all. Then we all returned to the boat - and we’re offered snacks and water and we traveled to a reef where we got back into the water and saw many fish and a sea turtle and snorkeled around looking at all the sea life as the captain anchored the boat and crew members inflated a large slide on the boat. The photographers were very attentive- and if you paid for a photo package- they made sure they took every picture possible of you. I’m 51 and I had a blast on the slide along with my daughter who is 19. Finally, when it was time to go- we were offered food again as the crew entertained us with dancing and music all the way back to shore. We returned to our hotel by 1pm (6 hours after the start) WORTH EVERY PENNY!! We crashed the rest of the day having had so much fun! THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!
We did the ATV excursion with 4 adults and 2 kids. The views were great! Riding the ATV felt like we were on the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland, except we get to actually drive the vehicle. Our tour guide, Ethan, he was great and super friendly!! He took a lot of a pictures for us and made sure we had a great time! We would definitely recommend this tour and I wouldn’t mind doing it again.
Perfect way to relax inn Hawaii! Staff and captain very helpful and friendly. Would recommend and do this again!
One of the best activities we have done! The ATV was able to easily handle any turn and bumps. We took turns driving and got some great views along the way. we a lot dirt kicked up so I would recommend goggles or a mask of some kind. Would definitely do again!
Loved loved loved this sunset sail!!! The crew was awesome and so was the view
The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Made the experience fun. Saw turtles and Manna Rays!!
Mahalos for your awesome review, it was a pleasure to meet you guys, hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation
See you next time
Mahalo nui loa a hui hou!!!
We couldn’t” be happier with the whole adventure. Relaxing, exciting, entertaining, and educational all in one trip. We were fortunate to have everything we expected. We learned to snorkel. We saw many beautiful fish while in the water, attracting many by using the fish food we bought and scattering it around. While on board we learned a bit about the Catamaran we were on and how it was sailed. The sights were identified and all our questions were answered by the knowledgeable seaman. They offered many fun facts as well along the way. They were alway alert to our needs, assuring that we had fun and stayed safe. When the dolphins appeared, the nature and habits of the creatures were discussed, The differences between the type of dolphin following the boat and other dolphins was made. We were fortunate enough to have a sea turtle come and check us out as well. The people we had on board with us were friendly and polite and enjoyed the trip as well. I heard no complaints from anyone. I would recommend this company for this adventure to anyone who wants to have a fun snorkeling trip with a great crew, and an adventure that is safe and informative.
The crew was amazing and the experience as well! Not much else to say but to do it and find out! Honest review and worth the money. Plenty of lines and you feel like your out there all day having fun! Thank you again and remember to CLIMB!
Marlon was an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and funny. Social distancing and super clean bus! I learned so much about Pearl Harbor and Honolulu! Highly recommend!
We were initially skeptical of going to any Luau after a previous experience we had on Maui. We were concerned it would feel like a crowded dinner show instead of an authentic experience. We live on Oahu and had guests who really wanted to go. Tao Luau appealed to us because Waimea Falls is a beautiful setting away from resorts, and it has way less occupancy for the event then the others (200 compared to up to 800!). We were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome, hands on experience, delicious dinner, and stunning show. We have visitors coming in a week, and more in the summer, and have already booked for two more times!
Aloha Heidi, and mahalo for your review! We are pleased to know you had a great experience at the luau, which was initially not what you thought it was. We are glad we have changed your mind about activities like ours. We have planned everything about the luau having one goal - make it a great experience for everybody. Come see us again when you can :-) Mahalo!
Chris and his helping hand was amazing. Made sure that we were comfortable and we had plenty of time in the cage! There were so many sharks around us and we got some great footage! Highly recommend! Thank you again Chris!
