West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch
So Rad!
Activity Date: 2021/05/07 | Posted on: 2021/05/29

Worth every penny, We will be doing this again when we return to the islands. The crew was friendly, interactive with everyone, and also very caring and attentive to the folks that didn’t have their sea legs. The day we went, we swam with 3 spinner dolphins, and some bottle nose, then on the way to the coral reef we saw a pod of over 500 dolphins. The snorkel, slide, paddle board spot was rad as well, legit like diving into a nature film. Getting to see a sea turtle in nature was just an amazing end to an already awesome day! To the crew and cpt. Mahalo for such a great adventure!

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
One of the highlights of our trip!
Activity Date: 2021/05/09 | Posted on: 2021/05/29

We loved this tour. Thought I was going to be scared but I didn’t hesitate to jump in. Everybody was super nice and we felt like we had ample time in the water with the sharks. We saw SO MANY. It was a very cool experience that we won’t forget. Make sure to take some sea sickness pills. Some people on our boat couldn’t handle the waves. Everybody was a good sport about it though. Super fun!!

Magnum Doors-Off Helicopter Tour - Oahu Island Scenic Flight from Honolulu
Wind in my hair
Activity Date: 2021/05/24 | Posted on: 2021/05/26

This was definitely one of my favorite experiences. I highly recommend it. You see the island in all of its beauty. Also arrive a little early so you can get to film an extra little film on site.
Make sure you bring good sunglasses and I recommend either a bun or braid if you have long hair because just a ponytail will still hit you a bit. It does get chilly so bring long sleeves. And if you’re a freeze baby long pants too.
And if you can’t see something clearly on your feel free to ask your pilot to flip the helicopter around so you can get a better view! They’re super nice and accommodating about making sure you can see :)

Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance
Nice Dances
Activity Date: 2021/05/22 | Posted on: 2021/05/26

The food can be better, also, the ticket said it was waiter served, but It wasn't like that, it was only for the VIP tables . Also, the ticket said open seating, and they didn't let us sit where we wanted and assigned us the farthest table, where we couldn't see very well.

Aloha Natalia, I'm sorry you were disappointed, however you purchased our basic package which does not come with Table Service, or "waiter served". The Vip package comes with the Table Service for beverages and dinner. We normally offer open seating in the Original package, but due to the covid guidelines when you attended our luau, we couldn't. We had to assign tables for Tracking purposes, to know where all our guests were seated. It's a difficult task to sit people at safe distance to each other, with limited seating capacity. If you were able to book a little earlier, your seats may have been better. Even our Vip tables,..if you booked early for a certain date, the odds of you being seated in the front row would be greater. We hope you'll give us another chance on your next visit to our beautiful island, after we pass through this unusual time in our lives.
Sincerely, Germaine's Luau Ohana

this was such an awesome tour! our tour guide was such a blast. highly informative and the tour moved at a very fun pace. the terrain was amazing and so was the history presentation. the only regret i have is not booking the 2 hour tour. by the end of the 1 hour, i was not ready for leave... do yourself the favor and go for the 2 hour package!

This experience was amazing and the crew even better. Got to see three sharks, and although my heart was pounding I felt shockingly safe and had a great time. Would definitely do it again and I don’t think I could do/experience it any other way but this way again. Please do check these guys out! 100% recommend!

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
Amazing crew but choppy water
Activity Date: 2021/05/21 | Posted on: 2021/05/23

This was hands down the best excursion/activity we did on both Maui and Oahu. The crew, especially Erin, were super helpful and great! We saw over a dozen sharks at one time. Only thing we wish we did differently was choosing an earlier tour time so that the water was less choppy and rough. Definitely bring an underwater camera.

1-Hour Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tour - Waikiki Morning & Afternoon Marine Life Cruise
Veltra refund policy and refund method is poor Actual Experience with Glass bottom boat was better than expected!
Activity Date: 2021/05/21 | Posted on: 2021/05/23

Veltra’s refund policy for cancelling more than 24 hours is not as lenient as other booking sites. We did not see a direct way to ask for refund either.

Glass bottom boat was great! We went twice in a day.

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!
Great time but bring goggles!

We did the 2 hour ATV tour and it was amazing! Hayden was our guide, he was really friendly and very knowledgeable not just about movie sets but the island itself. We had a blast we just wish we had known to bring goggles from the dust. At times it was very challenging to drive safely from all the dust of the ATVs ahead of us. Other than that it was great! Would definitely do again in a heartbeat!

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!
I loved it!!
Activity Date: 2021/05/18 | Posted on: 2021/05/19

I was so excited for this tour especially for my 5 yrs old. For this I was so glad I didn’t go with a face full of make up or any nice clothes. You will be driving though the mountains in a single line probably behind another ATV. At the end I had dirt all over my clothes, my hair, and omg my face. I don’t mind I knew it was going to get dirty and my son loved it lol. What 5 yr old doesn’t like getting dirty right. We did stop a few times but we did drive pass some areas that I would liked to stop at. The views thought was so beautiful. Our tour guide was awesome Pj took the time to take pictures/videos and showed my son some cool flowers. Would highly recommend him. I’m definitely doing this again. Even if covid wasn’t happening right now I would still wear a mask or you’ll be spitting out dirt all the time. They do provided glasses also Im glad Pj pointed that out. Wish I would have book other tours but definitely going back again.

From beginning to end it was a blast! Tay our instructor gave us the best experience ever. She was super informative as well as went the extra mile to take great photos/videos and even gave us food options we should try out during our stay in Hawaii.

Over all it was a great time and now I can’t wait to visit Hawaii again just to come back to this ranch.

Tip for future travelers, spend the extra money for the 2hr excursion. It will be worth it!

Joy

We got there worrying about how we would take some nice pictures without the camera/phone getting drowned/dropped, but we were offered some photography services for $30, able to take the SD card the pictures were taken on home with us. We really loved how they turned out, being able to keep memorabilia of a really great first experience in Hawaii!

The guys running the boat were so great and fun, I would suggest it at least once!!
