Oahu
I actually did not end up horseback riding because my friend was 5lbs over the weight requirement, so we switched for the E Bike tour instead and had a blast! I am however disappointed about the horseback ride. I understand the weight limitation because we wouldn’t want to cause strain or damage to any animals, but my friend and I have both been horseback riding throughout our varying vacations and it’s never been an issue. A horse can hold a man. Anyways, the bikes were great. The valley is beyond beautiful and our tour guide was to coolest!
This tour was so much fun! We got to see so many neat fish and turtles, chill on the sandbar, boat activities were fun, yummy lunch, and great hosts. I would love to do this again one day!
Our driver, Chelsie, was fabulous! I am giving this tour 4 stars because she deserves the stars! Very interesting and informative tour of the Island. As for the transportation…you definitely need to invest & updated the buses with better air conditioning. It was fully packed, not one spare seat on the bus…and the air conditioning was inadequate to keep the bus at a comfortable temperature.
Aloha Dianne,
Thank you for your honest review and for bringing the air-conditioning to our attention. We will be sure to have our maintenance crew check it out. We appreciate the time you have taken and are grateful that you joined us. We hope your visit to Oahu, the Gathering Place, was an enjoyable one.
Mahalo and stay well!
I had an amazing experience with my first dive ever! Zola & team made the whole experience very easy & remove any fear or doubt I had about diving. During the dive Zola made sure everyone was good and comfortable and made sure we got the most out of our experience by showing us local wildlife & the coral. i highly recommend I know when I go to Hawaii again I’m going to make sure I dive again. Thank you Zola for making such a great memory that will last a life time!!
View was everything I enjoyed the view and peace and quiet tranquility
Everyone was so welcoming and fun! We will definitely be coming back next time we’re back in Hawaii! The boat was clean and all the staff was very professional!
We had been waiting so long for this vacation and this was absolutely hands down worth the wait. The staff were all awesome. Our tour guides were the best, Very friendly and fun. ATV rides I recommend. Next time we travel here we are definitely going to do this again.
Really enjoyed our day with the Captain Bob crew! Fun, engaging and professional.
I booked for the temple and the falls
Our drivers knowledge and love of the island was what I appreciated the most
Aloha Stan,
We are very happy to hear of your enjoyment. Thank you for spending your day with us, we are most grateful.
Mahalo!
One of the most amazing trips I’ve had in my life and I have to kick it off to the deck hands and Mike For making this an unforgettable experience.
Lunch was delicious and the crew spread nothing but the best of aloha. The boat is extremely clean and equip with fun things to do!! We saw amazing turtles and the sandbar just had the most crystal clear waters.
We have done a couple of other Luaus since the pandemic, and this by far is best one so far that is closet to a normal luau prior to covid. We got the plumeria package, totally worth it. The show was spectacular and food was great! Compared to other luaus completely recommend Germaines and would do this again. Booked through Veltra, it was easy and seamless.
ALOHA MissinHawaii, So happy that you were able to make a trip over to our beautiful island, and that you chose to spend an evening with our Ohana at Germaine's Luau!! We really appreciate you taking the time to write your comments about your experience! We also appreciate that you booked thru Veltra, as we love their staff as well, they do a great job there! If you have time, we hope you will post your comments online at Yelp or Trip Advisor, since we know you did attend our luau recently and maybe do #experienceohana, #germainesluau....We hope you will come back sometime in the future and visit us again! Sincerely, Germaine's Luau Ohana
My friends and I enjoyed the ATV ride so much. It was a fun experience and the two hours went by so quick. Beautiful scenery and our guide also capture some funny Dino eating videos/pictures of us. I recommended this to my family who was visiting Hawaii the following month.
A group is us were scheduled to do this activity. Due to a lung issue my doctor said no way. Veltran could not have been more helpful in processing this change. I would recommend them in the future
The crew and performers were amazing! The dinner its self was very good! Over all my favorite memory of our time in Waikiki! Dancing on a ship can be tricky tho! Lol
My wife and I enjoyed the entire trip. Our tour guide was very friendly and very experienced. She went above and beyond for us to enjoy the experience. We will happily recommend for our friends and family that visit the island to do the same. Thank you so much!
I don't know where to start, the staff, the boat, the experience were all amazing and so much fun!
We got lucky with weather and it was a perfect hot day out (also it's October so it's not scorching out)
Staff is experienced, fun & down to earth. They've been running the boat for a long time and train the younger staff themselves & they're very friendly.
They also have a lot of knowledge about the whole island but just the boat.
We went straight to the Sandbar on crystal blue water which there's lots of deck space to watch. We had the sandbar all to ourselves, set up a net and because our cruise ended up having less people and all adults, we all easily fit in and played a few games together in the middle of the ocean, honestly how much better and dreamlike can it get. We had a blast while others if not playing walked around the sandbar and enjoyed the amazing views.
Had a much needed lunch complete with some wine & enjoyed the sun.
We then went turtle searching and saw quite a few hanging out and breaching, but honestly having time to just enjoy the breeze and take in the views was great. Again, weather dependant but on a good day, boat is sturdy, hardly any rocking, nobody even looked remotely sick.
Then the snorkeling is on a pop up reef, so you can swim around the entire thing. Again, weather dependant but for us, crystal clear waters, some colourful fish, a nice lap in the water.
100% take the fresh water once or twice rinse after the snorkeling it'll make the rest of your boat time feel much more comfortable!
They served hot chocolate after and it warmed our bodies back up.
We all finished snorkeling rather early so instead of cutting our excursion short, they took us on a scenic route and gave us more sights and time on the boat.
Take this cruise if you're into some vball and snorkelling, those things alone & you'll love this!!
A fun adventure riding a mule through the valley. Really cool tour guides to give lots of information of the surrounding area, the ranch, and the movies filmed there.
The ultimate package gave us 3 tours and lunch! We loved the Aloha Aina tour, learning about the land the plants, birds and all the agriculture. We enjoyed the hawaiian snacks, learning about the taro, the fish ponds and raising oystes and shrimp. The Hollywood movie tour had fun learning about different movies filmed on the ranch. The Jungle tour was awesome for the views and historical Hawaiian stories of how the ranch came to be what it is today! LUNCH was yummy! Each guide was very informative and always safety first oriented.. Thank you Kualoa Ranch !
This place is amazing. It was a birthday surprise gift for a huge Jurassic Park fan and We really enjoyed our visit. Looking forward to seeing more of it in the future.
What else can you ask for: Very Nice and Clean Boat, Best Food and Best Crew. First time in a sand bar and snorkeling with lots of turtles is really worth it.
Come and try them out. If you want to see lots of turtles then you need to join them.
You will love them and I will definitely join them again on my next trip to Hawaii.

Hands down we feel we got the best experience exploring Kualoa Ranch (Yes, better than the ATVs!). The bikes made the whole travel effortless and SO FUN. We got to go on bike-only trails that are continuing to be developed and took us deeper. Not to mention, we also got to stop and see more than the ATVs. Our guide was the best! We hope to return again once they are complete with the expanded trail!
Our favorite activity! The crew was outstanding and took very great care in all participants! Definitely take advantage of it all - the volleyball, the turtle watching and the snorkeling!
Dinner was good and the drinks and we just love the Hawaiian dancers and the entertainment they provided. Definitely a must do when visiting Hawaii.
Great activity to do in Hawaii. Awesome and helpful staff
Our family visited the ranch October 2021. We did the movie tour and it did not disappoint! Our tour guide was friendly and full of knowledge. The ranch was absolutely beautiful and the gift shop had plenty of affordable souvenirs! We will definitely visit again to do different tours.
Out of all the awesome activities of Hawaii this one was the most incredible experience. The beautiful views of the valleys and trails we drove past was absolutely breathtaking. On top of the gorgeous sights we also had the best tour guides. Not only did they make sure we saw all the best sights the kept us laughing along the way. Such a great time I definitely recommend 1000000% . I would go again and again any chance I get coming back out here.
Great tour and very informative. Nice to see some Hollywood sets of some great movies. The tour guide was great and funny and would definitely recommend!!
This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a vacation. It was priced right, just the right amount of time, super amazing staff/guides, and the best value all around. The boat ride is peaceful and quick. The sandbar was amazing and gives you enough time to meet others or practice your snorkeling skills. Seeing the turtles was so exciting and plentiful. The actual snorkeling was really the highlight. It was absolutely beautiful. If you visiting Honolulu this is a must-do activity!
We had a great time. According to my eight year- old daughter, this was the best part of our Oahu vacation. We will definitely return and book the same activity, this time with our close friends.
