Oahu
It was my first time snorkling and I had so much fun. the sandbar is definitely a place to go for. Also, getting to watch the turtles swimming was amazing!
My "good" vs "outstanding" rating is 100% dependent on the time of the year. So I had actually done this trip before but in July which I loved. I ended up spending my bday alone during the day so decided I wanted to come back out to the sandbar. Well nothing had changed from the last time, same good food, same great crew, great snorkeling. Not sure if it matters but when I went in July the water was knee deep, when I went in October it was up to my chest. Now I'm only 5ft tall so wasn't gonna drown but it was just different. It was also a little more windy so I'm just gonna chalk it up to a new "season". Still had a great experience but I will more than likely make my sandbar trips in the summer vs the "fall". Still a great friendly crew so don't forget to bring cash to tip them at the end!
I booked this cruise for myself and my family. My son was 11 at the time and about 4 feet tall. I only say this so it makes sense. Well we got there later than we wanted to (we live on island and drove ourselves). Couldn't find parking and the crew let us know where we could park because the little store next to the boats is actually closed for good so that worked out! So yes if you are driving yourself get there early so you aren't freaking out too lol. We got on and they took us to the sandbar where they set up a volleyball net for us and we all got off where the water was down to our knees. So my child wasn't in any danger of drowning. The meal was the most basic hamburger bbq thing you can probably imagine so don't think you are getting some 5 course meal. It def hit the spot and I did not mind it at all. They offered some beer choices and wine as well as non-alcoholic drinks. The alcohol was not free. Not a big deal at all and didn't expect it to be. They took card and cash :) After a little bit of being out there we went out to a reef and were given gear to go snorkeling. It was beautiful. We were also pointed out things such as Gilligan's island at some point. Lastly we saw turtles and the crew had music playing through the trip. They were very nice. Don't bring too much stuff with you tho because when it was at 100% capacity you had to really squish. Towel, water, sunscreen and your own alcohol is what you should probably bring lol. Overall great July experience, great crew and perfect for taking your visiting family and friends from the mainland. Don't forger to bring cash to leave tips at the end of the trip!
We did the two hour ATV and it was amazing to see all the movies that was shot there and to drive there. My tour guide was great and he even offered to take every body pics at the stop points.
I love this it was amazing everybody should visit this when they are in Hawaii
I would recommend this as a MUST DO!! Yes you will be nervous but, once you get on the boat your captains will make you feel so comfortable! They both have great humor that helps to calm your nerves. What you will experience while your in the cage is amazing! You get to see it all up close! I would recommend anyone to do this. For tourists plan transportation both ways prior to your tour. Its hard to get a uber in that area.
Great staff! Fear turned into comfort. I could do this all day. Book it!
This has hands down me and my husband's favorite part of our trip. It was amazing! Being that high up in the air and looking at the view of the water and the island is truly breathtaking. Being up there is actually pretty calming and relaxing. The host were amazing they take great pictures of you and they are hilarious.
Our captains were great! This was our first time booking for parasailing. Everything went so smooth!. It was scary at first but they made it so worth it. Thankyou!
Wonderful, fun, and the staff was really nice and efficient
Awesome customer service! Great energy!!! Shout out to Jerry B. Who made it fun!!!!
We had so much fun parasailing! The guides were awesome. We will be doing this again on our next visit to Hawaii.
We had a blast. We did the 2-hr tour and it was so worth it. You do get dusty and dirty but the ATV is a fun ride. Austin was our tour guide and he was full of fun and interesting information. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing honeymoon would definitely do it again!!!
This was amazing amazing experience! The folks running the boat were informational and extremely friendly. There were only 4 people upon the boat and we were all able to get in the cage together comfortably. For the amount we paid we had a generous amount of time in the cage to view the shark in there natural habitat. They were very curious and we got some beautiful pictures. When I had an issue with the snorkel the team provided several others for me to try. The water was high 70’s and we took the early morning venture where the water was fairly still and the island was quiet. I would absolutely recommend this affordable once in a life time experience!
The snorkeling place is good! So many fishes! Turtle view is fine as we are a bit far from those turtles and we can only see their head for a second when they come out of water for air. The sandbar itself is good too, but not sure what to do with it except playing volleyball.
Well worth it - we got to see a big part of the ranch and had a great guide - it was really fun
We had a fantastic trip on our Parasailing! The crew was outstanding, the ride was smooth and top notch experience all the way around. Can't wait until next time.
This was so much fun! The boat ride was smooth and the scenery was beautiful. We saw multiple sea turtles swimming around. The parasail ride was exhilarating - just the perfect balance between feeling safe, yet it was thrilling. I would highly recommend it.
Fantastic tour! Fantastic guide! 2 hours is not long enough. On our next trip we are booking everything Kualoa offers and spending the day.
Kevin made the entire trip outstanding. He was funny, on time, very knowledgeable, even though I've been to north shore before, this was the first time I felt like it was not only fun but informative. He was very accommodating. I am telling my friends and family to put this on their list . Thanks Uncle Kevin!!
Absolutely the best excursion we’ve ever done. Definitely unique to the islands. The staff was fantastic extremely friendly an overwhelmingly helpful. I would recommend to anyone traveling to Honolulu. Even if you’re scared of the water or claustrophobic they’ll work with you and get you in life changing.
Took this activity with my family of 4 and we totally enjoyed every minute of it. Russel and his colleague were very thorough in making sure everyone on the boat were safe and following COVID protocols. As soon as we hopped on the boat, Russel briefed everyone about the safety protocols, DO's and DONT's during parasailing. This was a great experience esp for my kids (age 8 &10) as this was their first time. In the end, Russel took awesome pictures of us and I have received great comments about it from my friends, family. Thank you Russel for making this experience such a memorable one. Will definitely come back again in the near future.
What an amazing experience! You will not regret taking this excursion. People are beyond friendly and helpful and they really make it a pleasant experience. Sandbar was beautiful and snorkeling was really fun. Would do again for sure!
This was my favorite activity . The sand bar was spectacular and snorkeling with sea turtles made my whole life . Would 100 recommend to any one
Aloha Brttani! I don't know how I missed it, but I'm just now seeing your review. Thank you so much for leaving such an awesome review for us! That's amazing. We really appreciate that. And so glad to hear you had such a great experience kayaking and snorkeling Kane'ohe Bay with us. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!
Everyone was absolutely amazing! I truly enjoyed this tour and everyone on the boat was patient and helpful! I am a non swimmer and I felt so comfortable with them!
My husband said this was the best excursion we have ever done !
We had such a great time on this tour! The crew was fantastic and so friendly! The water did get a little choppy, but it just added to the overall experience. We saw so many sharks and learned a lot. I would recommend this tour to anyone!!
Our tour guide Paulo was fantastic!! We had such an amazing time on our two hour tour - we wish we could’ve stayed even longer. There is so much to see AND driving the ATV is so much fun. 100% would recommend and would definitely come back for another tour!
Good experience. We need more time in Pearl habour. 2.5hrs isn’t enough. Too much to unpack there
