3-Hour West Coast Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise, Lunch, Drinks & Transportation
Nothing special.
Activity Date: 2021/05/12 | Posted on: 2021/05/16
OKM

This excursion was okay at best. Though we were able to see dolphins, which was lovely, the snorkeling was blah. First the company took us south along the island, versus out into the ocean, and guided us snorkeling right by a power plant on the shoreline. There were some pretty fish, maybe 3-4 different species. The coral was not colorful; they informed us that is typical for Hawaii. Friends we have that live on the islands state there are beautiful coral reefs, you just need to know where to find them. Apparently, this company does not know where to find these reefs. The catamaran ride was just lovely, but that's it. Again, nothing special. The crew were fine when talking to us as a group but not one-on-one. Then they seemed guarded and annoyed. I would not recommend this excursion.

This was one of my favorite things that I did during my trip to Hawaii! Highly recommend the 1000 feet line--you get an amazing view of the island! The staff were so nice and made sure everyone felt comfortable. It was truly an amazing experience.

Star of Honolulu dinner cruise
Activity Date: 2021/05/08 | Posted on: 2021/05/16

The cruise itself, staff and entire experience was wonderful and the views were breathtaking at sunset.
Service and dancers were outstanding and enjoyable to watch. Food was not all that great but otherwise a great time and worth the expense to experience it. I would definitely recommend to anyone to do this dinner cruise but do not have high expectations with the food.

Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes
Must do!!!
Activity Date: 2021/05/13 | Posted on: 2021/05/15

This was the most interesting excursion I’ve ever had. I saw 2 turtles which was the main reason I wanted to go. The sea life was so interesting, wasn’t what I had expected. I highly recommend doing this if you’re interested in ocean life. I saw a live star fish on the bottom and a mortar shell. The guides were also very interesting and funny.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach
Fun kayak tour, beautiful views, sea turtles and manta rays!
Activity Date: 2021/05/06 | Posted on: 2021/05/13

My husband and I had a lot of fun kayaking! We loved the glass bottom kayak [we weren't able to see much underneath the kayak (water wasn't that clear on the day we went) but that's ok!]

We had an amazing tour guide, Dan, who is very knowledgeable about the island and left it to us of what we wanted to do & see / how far we wanted to paddle.

We were able to see sea turtles and also manta rays popping up from the water, which was cool because we never been so close to them before or seen them the times we've been to Hawaii. We really enjoyed kayaking in the river because it was easy to paddle, calm waters and a beautiful view.

Highly recommend and would do this again! Thank you Dan for the tour!

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!
A great time and fun activity to do with your family!
Activity Date: 2021/05/10 | Posted on: 2021/05/12

It’s was an amazing experience to go ATV riding through the trails on the ranch, you pass so many famous movie sites and are allowed some time to take pictures at some of those famous sites! All of the staff and very nice and friendly, our tour guide was very helpful, she took pictures for you and even used props to make the photos and videos even more special. It was just an amazing experience all around the only suggestion I have is don’t wear white clothes but clothes can always be washed so it is still 100% worth it

Oahu Lei Greeting Service at Honolulu Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace & More
Had to do it again!
Activity Date: 2021/05/07 | Posted on: 2021/05/09

I had family members flying to Honolulu for first time back in 2019 and found I could have them receive Lei's as the came off the plane. I thought that sounded like a great greeting to Hawaii for the first time.

My family members loved it so much. I found out they were going to go back to Honolulu again because they fell in love with Hawaii. This time there was going to be a total of 5 family members traveling. I got them all Lei's.

Because of Covid, this time the greeters could not meet my family members at the gate when they deplaned. Everyone in my family still loved getting the Lei's when they reached the baggage claim area.

So be it a gift for yourself or family or friends, I highly recommend a Welcome Flower Lei Greeting at the airport.

We sincerely enjoyed our time on the ocean with the outrigger captain and first mate! One of the four of us was very hesitant to be in the ocean and freaked out about the possibility of flipping. These guys were excellent from the very beginning in explaining the paddling method, the proper way to enter and exit the canoe, and why it was totally safe!
Once we got out on the water we were able to catch five waves and enjoyed every single ride!
Thank you for such a joyous time!
