Oahu
Our drivers were fantastic! We learned a ton about the land and enjoyed the picnic lunch near the end. Beautiful views again, the two girls that toured us around very fun and tailored the experience to the vehicle. We had adults in one and children in the other. By far our favorite activity during our stay in Oahu.
We had a group of 7 for this tour and it was perfect to see the highlights of the island, outside of Honolulu. Stephanie was a fantastic tour guide and driver!! She gave a lot of info and local insight on hang outs, fun facts, etc. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see more of what the island has to offer! I have so many pictures and was able to buy some of the unique foods and items Hawaii has to offer as well.
Hello Jamie,
Thank you for spending your time for a review. We are glad you had a great time with Stephanie. I will let her know of the fabulous review you gave her. I believe she will be very happy to hear. We hope you and the rest of your group have a great time in Hawaii.

I was so impressed with the scenic views!! The different locations to snap photos as well as the time given to take absolutely breathtaking photos was amazing!! This was an absolute hidden treasure!! The time the tour guide took to show you how to use your camera and what views would look perfect was great! I loved ever second of this tour!
I went on my actual birthday and it was theeeee best birthday present I could’ve ever given to myself! The breath of life show was amazing!!! The buffet was delicious!!! The learning of everything was soooo beneficial and the overall experience was very knowledgeable and fun!! Loved it!

* Knowledgeable, friendly, energetic and also humorous guy
* My family of 3 have a wonderful time and learn all the details about culture & facts around the Oahu island.
* He manure the vehicle comfortably and safe.
But sadly, in the end, he failed to mentioned to us and stop the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Hotel where we stayed in. I have to personally go to the front asking and tell him to STOP, but it already pass a few hundred yard from the original pickup location. I am kind of reluctant to give him the gratuity in the first place but since he has been very good the whole day, so I pass it to you anyway.
Dallas, Jamie, and Bailey were amazing tour guides! They were super nice and helpful and patient with all of us! They had great information during the tour like the kinds of plants grown on the farm we zipped over and background on the history of Oahu! Unfortunately because of very bad rain we had to skip line 6 which I heard was the best one for safety reasons! I would definitely go again if I’m in Oahu!
I had the best time!!! The staff was so friendly and nice and we even got a little special guitar performance on the way back to the island. The lunch was spectacular and if there are any leftovers, they will be given! But it is very filling! I can’t imagine what I’d do if I came to Hawaii and missed this tour! I wholeheartedly recommend this!!!
Awesome day!! Travis was a great guide and showed us all the best things!!
Views are incredible! Staff give clear instructions so you don’t feel nervous. Long wait times to get up which doesn’t help any nerves but so worth it.
The oceanfront trail was simply gorgeous. The horses are retired polo horses and so amazingly trained and sweet! As well the guides know exactly how to help you connect with your horse!
Next time I'll bring a friend....best tour in Oahu
Easily the best Luau on the island. Real hands on experience for the whole family.
This was certainly the highlight of our week in Hawaii. We stayed at the Hilton Lagoon Resort in Waikiki. Our condo overlooked their Luau which we watched twice from our balcony. I can only describe their Luau as trip to McDonald's. It was big and all but was certainly nothing special and nothing personal. They seat about 400 people with most tables seated far away from the stage. Compare that to our experience at Toa Luau and it was like fine dining as compared to a trip to McDonalds. Toa opens up with hands on experiences for everyone. While the guests do not get to climb a coconut tree they do show how it has been for hundreds of years. Guests are given the opportunity to peel off the husks, crack a coconut, and shred the meat. The above ground cooking oven was quite interesting. From there we started with the stage show and took a tour of the Pacific Islands. This is the Luau you want to attend, you will not be disappointed.
Aloha and mahalo for the good review Michael! We are glad to hear that you had a great experience with us and enjoyed the food we prepared for you guys. We would love to see you again soon!
we had a great time. Our guide was really kind and very funny. The scenery is exceptional and the meal delicious. Huge thanks to Cole Volpe our guide who gave us a taste of the fruits we found on the ranch and drove us like a pro. Thanks for all
This luau was super great and family oriented. The whole staff puts so much effort into a great show! As well it is so awesome to get a free pass to Waimea falls, great purchase for your buck!!
Aloha and mahalo Kara for the great review and 5-star rating. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the luau and had a great experience at Waimea falls. We would love to see you guys again soon!
Great activity to do in Hawaii. Awesome and helpful staff
Views were amazing, absolutely beautiful! The guides were great people to be around. U can tell they really enjoy their job.. the experience was professional and fun.. I would do this again! What a great time we had
Super fun and exciting. Will definitely go again. Guides were fun helpful and great at making everyone feel comfortable with the experience
About 9 to 10 sharks ranging from 7ft to 12ft. Close enough to touch. The two guides were awesome and fun. I'd do it again no doubt
Careless shark diving was a great experience.
No GoPros allowed on this trip but they take photos for you and some videos.
We saw two sharks on this trip and sandbar and a Galapagos but they were very active and would come very close, but you can also see them 80 yards down, because the water is clear.
The last 10 minutes you are somewhat free to dive down and swim with them.
Great place to visit. Highly recommend going but honestly will next time rent a car or take an Uber and just pay at the park or on line for tickets. We went with buffet and stayed for the show. Things could get hairy at the end because the bus you arrive in may not be the same you head back on. There are multiple buses waiting and you have to ask each driver if they are going to your stop. We were very lucky to hit the right bus on the first try. Need a better system. Great place to visit with kids. Folks there are super friendly.
What a fantastic experience. The private tour is a great way to see the island. Travis listened to what we had already seen and understood what we were now seeking in a six-hour private tour. The guide on this kind of tour really makes all the difference and Travis was the perfect tour guide. Knowledgeable, personable and flexible, he gave us a rate look into what the locals enjoy about the north and Eastern parts of the Island. Took us to fun food places, hidden gems for nuts and tacos and we got to see amazing surfer scenes. Travis is our first call if we can make it back to Honolulu.
It was truly awe inspiring to see these amazing animals in the wild. The crew was informative and helpful. The waters were choppier than normal, so there was some sea sickness, but that wouldn’t stop me from doing it again. Completely loved it!
We booked with VELTRA for our recent trip to Hawaii. They took care of us before, during and after our events. They also totally understood the reason for one of our party having to cancel last minute because of illness. I would recommend them for your activities.
Over all an awesome time!! Mattie and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely felt like you got to spend a good amount of time in the cage and see many big beautiful sharks!! 100% would love to experience this again! 10/10
The Polynesian Cultural Center is a beautiful, fun, living museum. Pacific Island Native people use songs and traditional dances to tell the stories of their culture. They have reverence for the Islands and also have fun showing the beauty and fun of their heritage. We visitors are referred to as “Family”. We are made to feel very welcome and are invited to participate in crafts, dance and games with the Island people. The Buffett and the show are wonderful. Thank you!!!
Trinity and Roxy where amazing. Very informational tour around the whole ranch. Feeding the cows was a plus. Being able to have a picnic at the top with amazing views is just the best.
Tao Luau is the best outstanding food. Staff are friendly and welcoming
Aloha Lee and mahalo for giving us a great review! Glad to know you enjoyed the food we prepared for you and also enjoyed our company. We certainly hope to see you again soon!
Cousin G was awesome! We had a great day. The morning activity we chose snorkeling. Unfortunately for others, the falls were closing on Monday’s starting THAT day due to covid restrictions, so everyone had to do snorkeling. Had some food from shrimp truck, it was okay. We stopped at a macadamia nut and coffee tasting place, that was really cool. We did kayaking for our afternoon activity- not a lot of shade so definitely bring sunscreen or wear a long sleeve top, we roasted on the river. Then we stopped in town. Was a great day on the north shore, thanks again cousin g!
What an amazing adventure to go on! Hop on in the water and the sharks come to you! It’s amazing you can even see other creatures if they come near too!
While we enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center overall, this day was entirely too long for our taste. There really wasn't much to do at the center to fill up our time, so we just sitting around waiting for the Luau dinner. And, the gift shop is on the other side of the entrance, so we couldn't even shop to kill time, which we would have loved to do.
The Luau was delicious, especially the welcome drink in the pineapple. And, the show was fantastic, but we were tired of being there all day.
So, if you want to waste a full day in paradise with not much to do, then this is the excursion for you.
