Reliving the past

Reviewed by: jd

This was quite an experience of seeing how life in the islands would have been like. It is quite different than life today.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Yulia

You have a list called "10 things to do before I die" and you've just marked one thing as 'done' - this is what this tour feels like. Do it, and you won't regret. Just don't forget a pill of Bonine and waterproof camera with a long strap that you can put around your neck. If your camera is not waterproof, take it anyway, because you can take great pictures even from the boat.

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Worth It

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I really enjoyed this trip, we didn't rent a car in Oahu and this was a great way to see the North Shore. We learned a great deal of Hawaiian history on the way up. And the town and Waimeia Beach are incredible. We snorkeled and swam in the waterfall at waimeia (?), it was a cool day but the water was temperate and so fresh - if you go to the waterfall swim in the lake surrounding it - its really wonderful. Bonzai Pipeline had no waves though so I'll have to go back in the winter.

I had returned after twenty five years and the Center was as good as ever! My traveling companion was visiting for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the day, luau and show. A great day recommended for all visitors to the island of Oahu.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Amy

This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. I was kind of nervous but the staff makes you feel at ease. There were so many sharks and you get at least a half hour in the tank. It's a nice view from the boat when the other group is in the cage. Sharks are amazing and beautiful creatures. Make sure you take some Gravol before you go. I got very seasick and I usually don't ever get sick. I will definately be doing this activity again when I come to Hawaii.

Sharks!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Shark Adventure was loads of fun! The only complaint we had was the rough condition of the sea... that's just the way it goes! Be aware that you will get tossed about inside the cage if the seas are rough, and be sure to take Dramamine.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Great adventure

Reviewed by: JRM from Pa.

My wife and I loved the shark encounter! Exhilarating but not dangerous. The staff was knowledgeable and good spirited. We are in our mid 50's - have done lots of stuff and this was truly unique. Besides loads of sharks we also saw a couple whales. Recommend you bring a water proof camera [taking digital videos and pulling frames for desired stills works best], go early because the water is usually calmer, and go on an empty stomach. The time in the cage went too fast me!

Honolulu Soaring North Shore Scenic Airplane Flights - Piloted Glider Tours in Oahu

Exciting Adventure!

Reviewed by: Sky Captain

We've never been on a glider ride before, and we are so glad that we did. It's crazy to fly without an engine and a propeller! We were a little scared first, but once we were up in the air, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of Mokuleia, Yokohama Bay, North Shore Coastline, etc... It's the best way to enjoy the scenary in the north shore from the sky. Highly recommended!!!

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

WE LOVE RONGO!!

Reviewed by: The

We had a great time on this tour. We saw a little bit of everything. Rongo, our guide, was so much fun, and so knowledgable. He had so much personal knowledge of the island we often felt like we were somehow being driven around by an old friend who wanted to 'show us around'. Rongo was just a great, great guide. We had fun. We had time to take pictures anywhere we stopped, never felt rushed or hurried. Loved everything we saw and felt like we got a very complete 'view' of the island as well as it's history and all of the things that made 'Oahu'....Oahu. We took this tour our second day in Oahu in case we stumbled across something we would want to spend more time investigating later. We're glad we did. Rongo was also willing to give us tips on great places to eat, or grab a drink. We really had fun!

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Fantastic!!!

Reviewed by: M & Mrs. M

Complete adrenaline rush!!! Would definitely go again and again!!! This coming from first timers!!! Although the water was very choppy, you felt safe in the cage. Just remember to be on the safe side, keep your feet and hands in the cage. You spend more than enough time with the sharks. The guides were friendly and informative. As we were leaving, a booby bird flew in and decided to hang out on the cage. We were also able to see a school of dolphins swimming by. We never did get anything to drink so, you might want to bring a bottle of water along. They also sell a Shark Encounter T-shirt which is pretty cool to wear and it let's everyone know of your experience. Remember to bring a waterproof camera as you'll want to take up-close pictures of the sharks!!!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Geared towards the older crowd

Reviewed by: LL

I was told this was the most authentic luau on Oahu. The actually dinner was a bit crowded and the stage show was too loud and pretty boring. The buffet offered a variety of dishes but I had to eat from the kids side because that menu only offered the vegetarian option that actually had nutritional value.
When booking this trip it would have been nice to know up front that the cultural center was run by mormons so therefore there was no alcohol or caffeine available. The night show was worth seeing...very well done...just as good as a play in NYC.
Our driver picked us up 15 minutes late then proceeded to wait another 20 for 2 people who were on the list and were not there yet. Because of this we were unable to get the tour of the center that we paid for and they would not issue us tickets to come again some other day. If I could do it all over again I would go the full day, pack food and see the evening show. Probably rent a car and take a break down the street on the beach.

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

Wonderful! 素晴らしい♪

Reviewed by: Junko

During a family trip, I participated alone on April 2nd. My family (husband, mother-in-law, and son) joined a private tour on-site and explored from start to finish. After finishing diving around 10 AM, I was able to join my family for a private tour around Oahu.

It was my first time, and when I initially signed the waiver, I thought, "Should I back out...?" But I'm glad I took the plunge. As the plane ascended, we broke through the clouds, and I felt like saying, "Are we still going up?" However, from the dive point, there was no hesitation as we jumped one after another. Thanks to our instructor, Mike, I was able to enjoy the thrill of skydiving while feeling secure. Once the parachute opened, we descended slowly and leisurely. The coastline on the north side of Oahu was beautifully visible, and I was amazed to see my feet floating at such a high altitude, adding to the thrill.

After landing, I high-fived Mike! It was a truly precious and wonderful experience. Next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely participate again. Thank you, Mike and all the staff!

家族での旅行中、4/2に私だけ参加しました。家族(夫・義母・息子)はプライベートツアーで現地で合流し、最初から最後まで見学してました。10時過ぎにはダイビングが終了したので、そのままオアフ島周遊のプライベートツアーに家族と参加できましたよ。

私自身初めてで、最初に承諾書にサインする際に「やめようかな・・・」とも思いましたが、思い切って飛んでよかったです。
飛行機で上空へ上がるのに雲も突き抜け「まだ上がるの~?」といった気分でしたが、ダイブポイントからは躊躇する間もなく、次々と落ちていきます。インストラクターのマイクさんのおかげでスリルを味わいながらも安心してスカイダイビングできました。パラシュートが開いてからはゆっくりのんびりと落ちてきます。オアフ島北側の海岸線がきれいに見えて感動し、足元をみるとあまりにも高いところに浮かんでいる自分の足が見え、更なるスリルを味わいます。
着地後は、マイクさんとハイタッチ!とても貴重で素晴らしい体験ができました。次回ハワイへ行ったら必ず参加します。
マイクさん、スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。
