Oahu to Big Island - Helicopter Tour & Volcano Sightseeing Adventure with Lunch
Great Experience All Round
Activity Date: 2022/05/11 | Posted on: 2022/06/06

We took the Big Island 1 Day tour from Oahu, comprising a Big Island tour, finishing with a helicopter flight over the volcano plain. Really well conducted tour and spectacular sight of the volcanos and the surrounding areas.

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>
The photo I bought as an option was completely dark, and it made me sad.
オプションで買った写真が真っ暗で悲しかった
Activity Date: 2022/05/29 | Posted on: 2022/06/05

I participated in parasailing for the first time on my honeymoon. As a keepsake, I decided to purchase additional photos for $40 after the activity. At that time, I was shown a few close-up photos taken before and after the flight, which were well-lit and clearly showed my face, so I decided to buy them. However, upon reviewing the purchased photos, I found that most of them were too dark and poorly taken. I believe the overcast sky and light rain contributed to this, but I wish they had made adjustments to the camera settings. Although I was disappointed with the photos for $40, the staff's service during the activity was good.

新婚旅行で初のパラセイリングに参加しました。記念にと思い、アクティビティ終了後に、写真を40ドルで追加購入しました。その際はアップで撮っていただいた飛ぶ前後の写真を数枚見せてもらい、それはフラッシュがたかれ顔がわかる写りで撮れていたので購入しましたが、購入後見てみると、殆どの写真の被写体が真っ暗で上手く撮れていませんでした。あいにくの曇り空で小雨が降っていたせいもあると思いますが、カメラの設定を調整するなど工夫をして欲しかったです。
40ドルもしたので写真は残念でしたが、アクティビティ中のスタッフの対応は良かったです。

We signed up for parasailing as a family of three. I thought only two people could fly together, but we were able to fly all three of us, which made for a wonderful memory. While we were flying, it was very quiet, and the wind felt pleasant.

親子3人でパラセイリングに申し込みました。2人でしか飛べないと思っていたのですが、3人一緒飛ぶことができたのでとても良い思い出になりました。飛んでいる最中はとても静かで、風が心地よかったです。

Hawaii Jet Ski Ride Adventure at Maunalua Bay - H2O Sports
Not what I was expecting
Activity Date: 2022/06/03 | Posted on: 2022/06/05

I was expecting a 90-min ride for the price I paid and it was 30 min with a (scheduled) interruption 15 min through. I also thought the jet skis would go at least 40 mph based on my past experiences with renting jet skis and at full speed these only went to barely 25 mph. They make you ride in a large square around 4 buoys and you aren’t allowed to just roam around. The square gets too crowded and it isn’t that it feels unsafe, but it feels like you have to hyper focus on your speed and surroundings instead of just enjoying zooming around in the open water. Beyond that the service was decent, the building got way too crowded and it felt like they didn’t have the staff to handle the crowds but the guys on the boat and barge were really nice. I personally think that for the price I paid for just 30 min, I should have skipped this or looked for another place to rent from.

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!
Fabulous!
Activity Date: 2022/05/31 | Posted on: 2022/06/02

The ATV adventure was everything and more than we expected! We saw so much of the beautiful landscape of Hawaii! The views were phenomenal; and looking for areas used in movies was lots of fun! We enjoyed being able to trade off drivers, so that everyone that was of age and wanted to could experience it. Our guide, Sara, was very cool! Growing up in Hawaii, she was very knowledgeable of Hawaiian culture and history. Our 2 families, 8 people, decided this was our favorite excursion on our 11 day trip!

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment
Amazing Family Birthday Celebration!
Activity Date: 2022/05/31 | Posted on: 2022/06/01

My family and I had the opportunity to celebrate a milestone birthday with the Star of Honolulu. We opted to have the Luxury experience and it was the best decision. From the initial boarding process, to the welcome reception with the captain, it was easy and seamless. The appetizers and the welcome Bellini's were an added bonus with the beautiful backdrop of the Honolulu skyline and ocean. The dining experience was amazing. From the welcome hula dancers to the curated jazz piano and saxophone combination, the cruise did a great job curating a luxury experience.
We were able to experience beautiful views of the ocean and the city from the water as there were large windows circumferentially about the dining room. This also helped to heighten the sunset experience and for us to better appreciate the allure of the Hawaiian sky.
Most importantly, the food selection was amazing. Our collective most impressive course was the lobster bisque. It had an exquisite flavor and the lobster itself was so tender and succulent. The only draw back is we wish we had a larger bowl! The main courses of lobster tail and beef wellington were made to perfection and the paired sides were delicious. The bartender was also top notch, and made delicious and eye appealing cocktails that really elevated our experience.
Importantly, the wait staff were so attentive and friendly. This also helped to elevate the experience. Much attention was given to the small details that ensured that the experience was five star luxury at its finest. Without a doubt, we would recommend this dining experience when visiting Honolulu. Whether it be for a birthday celebration, a date night, or just because, this experience was a highlight of our Hawaiian vacation and we are so happy to have incorporated it in our itinerary.

Such a fun and amazing time!! It was my first luau and I have to say it was THE BEST! I was really disappointed at first because I wanted to do the Polynesian cultural center luau, but I’m so happy that we got to do this one! The food was delicious, it came out super fast, and I loved that it was all you can eat ! The music and entertainment was incredible too! Such beautiful dancing and really cool performances!

1-Hour Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tour - Waikiki Morning & Afternoon Marine Life Cruise
Great boat trip
Activity Date: 2022/05/27 | Posted on: 2022/05/29

Very reasonable priced glass bottom boat trip with a knowledgeable captain who told
great stories on the history of the area. His lovely wife even took a family photo for us with diamond head in the background.
We saw dolphins, turtles and lots of colourful fish.
The boat was clean and sanitised before we boarded. Free Water was provided and a toilet onboard.
Only negative is that It would have been wonderful if able to to go below deck to view under or From side viewing panels instead of Viewing down from the top.
I would recommend this trip for the views and experiences.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Amazing experience!
Activity Date: 2022/05/27 | Posted on: 2022/05/29

I absolutely enjoyed the experience. I wasn't able to see too many sea life, however, that didn't take away from the overall fun at all. I personally have a mild fear of the deep ocean, so going too far out into sea in a kayak frightens me. But it would be a miss opportunity for me to not try this at least once while on vacation. My only criticism is that the kayaking zone is a little confusing to figure out, so I felt it was too mixed up with the commercial zone and the military zone. The zone marker was hard to figure out so my group just follow other groups instead.

Aloha Dara! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! Thank you also for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us. We really appreciate that. I am very glad to hear it sounds like you had a great time kayaking with us and conquered your fears a little bit! That's great. I know it is a big bay and without a lot of markings or anything, we do our best with the map, but sometimes it is hard to figure out. Thank you so much again, we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
