Submarine Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Snorkeling Tour from Hawaii Kai
Submarine scooter. Best time ever
Activity Date: 2021/05/25 | Posted on: 2021/05/27

This was an amazing thing to do. Staff was awesome , friendly and very helpful. We had an absolute blast!!!!! Recommend this for sure as a must do. Outside of the scooter we got to swim/snorkel with a sea turtle which was outstanding. Thank you for the adventure.

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

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!

Activity Date: 2021/05/23 | Posted on: 2021/05/25

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!

The tour guides are absolutely kind and they showed us how to ride a horse. We were so nervous because it was our first time. Definitely come check them out !! We stayed in Waikiki and it’s nice to go to the north shore where it’s less crowded and more peaceful.

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!
Activity Date: 2021/05/15 | Posted on: 2021/05/21

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!!

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.

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.
