Oahu
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.
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.
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 can ride horses while enjoying the beautiful sea of the North Shore! The instructions are in English, but I think you can figure out how to ride. I took my 9-year-old child, and they had a great time. They also took a lot of pictures, which made for wonderful memories!
North shoreのきれいな海を見ながら馬に乗れます!
英語のみの案内ですが乗り方などはなんとなくわかると思います。
9歳の子どもを連れて行きましたが、とても楽しんでいました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれていい思い出になりました!
I originally planned to go with a buggy, but since the reservations were full, I joined this tour instead. I was worried because it was my first time on an electric bike, but I got used to it quickly, so it wasn't a problem. We rode on mountain roads, and the power of the electric bike was amazing; I think even people who don't usually exercise would be fine. The scenery was beautiful, and we were blessed with good weather, which made it the best experience.
元々バギーにする予定でしたが予約がいっぱいだったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
初めての電動バイクだったので心配でしたがすぐに慣れたので問題なかったです。
山道を走りますが電動バイクのパワーはすごく普段運動しない人でも大丈夫だと思います。
景色もよく天気にも恵まれたのもあり最高でした。
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。
Our visit to Kualoa Ranch was fabulous. We did a ziplining tour and it was incredible! We had never ziplined before but our guides explained it all and made us feel very safe.
The scenery was amazing, zipping over trees and terrain. You get a nice tour of some movie locations - such as Juraasic Park - on the way to and from the ziplines.
I highly recommend this adventure!
It was an awesome ebike tour. Our tour guide (young lady) was excellent.
5 star tour.
The intermediate tour was not different but it was fun, which is what we expect on vacation.
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。
I rode my bike through the spacious grounds, and it felt great! I took a lot of photos at filming locations like Jurassic Park and stunning viewpoints. Hawaii has not only beautiful beaches but also magnificent mountains and nature!
広い敷地を自転車で駆け抜け、とても気持ち良かったです!
ジュラシックパーク等映画の撮影場所や絶景スポットでたくさん写真を撮りました。
ハワイは海だけでなく、山の大自然も素晴らしいです!
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!
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 !

A hui hou (until next time).
Jurassic Valley. Kualoa Ranch is GORGEOUS. We did both the zipline and the e-bike in the same day. Loved the zipline! All ziplines were side-by-side so we could take photos/video of each other the entire time. There's a bit of short walks/hikes between some of the zipline platforms but nothing too extensive.
I would recommend bringing a GoPro with a wrist strap + carabiner so you can clip it onto your zipline harness and not worry about accidentally dropping or breaking your phone.
This tour was a blast! We had previously done the ATV Raptor and this follows a similar route. I really liked how QUIET the electric bikes were. It was stunning being inside this 4,000 acre area and seeing all the sights but not having to hear a super loud roar of the ATVs. We did the "Novice" tour which was 2-hours and had plenty of stops at the movie site sets too to take photos.
Overall, great tour! Our tour guide was also really knowledgeable and friendly.
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.
Tasty buffet dinner! The food was DELICIOUS. I really liked the variety of food - and dessert options! While I'm not vegetarian, I did notice there were a few vegetarian options - including the fried rice (my favorite). There was some hula dancing for the first part of the dinner and we could join in for hula lessons. I liked that this was an outdoor dinner BUT there was a covered tent above us in case of any rain.
And, it did end up raining. Lucky for us, the covered tent kept us nice and dry. Then, we headed inside to the indoor theater where we saw the Vegas-style impersonators for Elvis, Michael Jackson, and a local performer.
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!
Sharks!! Yes...SHARKS. And yes, you CAN see them from the boat. It's wild to see such majestic creatures in their natural habitat. You go a few miles offshore for this trip so it does get choppy. We did an early morning tour which has calmer ocean conditions than the later tours. And I am so glad we did! We only had a super light breakfast before going out (think a bit of fruit, light bites only).
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!
This experience really shows off Oahu's beauty! My boyfriend and I reserved a 4 hour time slot and kayaked out the sandbar. We had as much fun getting to the sandbar as we did at the actual sandbar. Snorkeled around a nearby coral reef and saw a huge sea turtle. Kayaked around the sandbar a little more before heading back and saw 5 other sea turtles. I hear that's pretty rare though. Don't bring towels because they'll get soaked anyway on the kayak and bring lots of sunscreen and hats!!
Aloha Natalia! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to post this awesome review and pictures! That is great and we really appreciate it! Stoked to hear you had such a great experience and that the turtles cooperated for you! Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Such a fantastic trip.
Doug our Pilot was confident and calm, explaining a lot of Hawaii's history and fun facts.
Wish we'd taken the tour our first day to give us a much clearer view of how much there is to see around Oahu island.
Strongly recommend.
We had a magical time. Sean was fun & informative.
He showed us & told us lots of things about Hawaii 5-0.
And to meet Shaun Mokuahi Garnett was a bonus. Thankyou
Excellent tour. Guide was funny and knowledgeable. I highly endorse rhe tour.
Aloha Ross !

Fabulously unique activity and wonderful crew ensuring everyone's enjoyment
My husband surprised me with this tour. They picked us up near our hotel and were wonderful hostess. They made the experience very fun and grilled up great burgers. I loved the sand bar and snorkeling. I would definitely do it again, especially because the staff made the experience even better!
Amber was a great instructor. She provided clear instructions on how to put on the equipment properly, breathing techniques and made us feel at ease.
