Pearl Harbor Express Shuttle + Arizona Memorial Ticket from Waikiki & Ko Olina
Paid boat ride is non-refundable!?
Reviewed by: J and M with family
Paid boat ride is non-refundable when dock is damaged. This policy should be modified to go right by the customer and website need to stop bookings. I could just easily drove there with my rental car and just check out the sites. The money I spent for the boat could have been used to pay for the submarine tour!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Reviewed by: Alesia C
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!!!

Majestic Circle Island Tour, Waterfall Swim & Lunch - From Waikiki & Ko Olina
Circle tour with Waimea Falls
Reviewed by: Dianne Cotts
Our driver, Chelsie, was fabulous! I am giving this tour 4 stars because she deserves the stars! Very interesting and informative tour of the Island. As for the transportation…you definitely need to invest & updated the buses with better air conditioning. It was fully packed, not one spare seat on the bus…and the air conditioning was inadequate to keep the bus at a comfortable temperature.
Aloha Dianne,
Thank you for your honest review and for bringing the air-conditioning to our attention. We will be sure to have our maintenance crew check it out. We appreciate the time you have taken and are grateful that you joined us. We hope your visit to Oahu, the Gathering Place, was an enjoyable one.
Mahalo and stay well!

セスナ（小型飛行機）体験操縦 1名～参加OK！ハワイで気軽にフライトレッスンを体験 by LANI LEA SKY TOURS & Flight School
いつか操縦してみたい
Reviewed by: Hiro
「You have control」と言われるまでは景色眺めて写真撮ったりしてました。
自分の操縦が始まると緊張で前と計器しか見ていられなくなるけど、5分もすれば余裕が出て周りの景色見れました。
初めての経験でしたが、これが始まりなのかな、と思います。
感染対策はお互いマスクしてインカムでの会話になるので飛沫はありません。そして機内は左右に主翼からの風が入ってくるので換気されてます。
あとGOPROの取り付けマウントが備わっているのでGOPRO等持ち込み可能です。

セスナ（小型飛行機）体験操縦 1名～参加OK！ハワイで気軽にフライトレッスンを体験 by LANI LEA SKY TOURS & Flight School
最高の空の旅でした！空の旅だけでなく、初心者の私でも全てが大満足でした（＊＾＿＾＊）
Reviewed by: まんまん
ハワイ上陸初日に参加しました！
【送迎から体験前まで】
午前中に国際線で到着して、そのまま空港に迎えに来て頂き、操縦体験後、宿泊施設へ向かったので別で送迎手配も不要で大変スムーズでした！
操縦体験前にオフィスの待機場所でハワイのジュースやお菓子をご用意頂き、オフィスの待機場所や御手洗もどこかのラウンジみたいで高級感、清潔感があって、初めての操縦体験で緊張してましたがリラックスできました。
オーナーさん、受付ご担当の方が日本の方で、格納庫の施設案内をして下さり、飛行機の説明や写真を撮ってくれました。
【操縦体験】
その後、飛行機の点検を終えたパイロットイントラの方がオフィスへ迎えに来てくれて、今日の飛行ルートや天候の説明をしてくれました。
イントラは韓国系ハワイアンの方でゆっくりの英語で話して下さり、受付ご担当の方も通訳して下さったので分かりやすかったです。（当日はお休みでしたご日本語ができるイントラの方もいらっしゃるそうです）
説明の中で今日は離陸直後から気流が悪いという事や気流の影響も踏まえて、北側の後半辺りを操縦してみましょう。という話をしてくれたので心構えができました。
搭乗時もコクピットにスタンバイしている写真もたくさん撮って頂きました。（機長席の左側に座ります！）
いよいよ離陸ですが、プロペラがかなりの音なので、ヘッドホン＆マイクでイントラとやり取りします。
ヘッドホンからは管制塔からの指示？等の無線も聞こえてくるので、それも貴重な体験です。
離陸直後はかなり揺れて（一応、嘔吐用の袋を持たせてくれます）怖かったですが、それ以上に景色がとても綺麗で自由に写真も撮れます。
コクピット席で見るハワイの風景は格別です！
イントラから、どの辺りを飛んでいるのか随時説明もしてくれます。島や岬、ジュラシックパークの撮影場所の等、初めてのハワイだったので地理がよく分かりました。
操縦体験中はイントラから分かりやすい単語で指示をしてもらい、事前にお願いしていたので操縦している所の写真も何枚か撮ってもらいました。
操縦体験は初心者の私でもとても簡単に楽しめました。
【操縦体験後】
写真のデーター待ちの間、先程のラウンジでジュースとお菓子を頂き、ハワイが初めてである事を話していたのでラウンジにあるガイドブックを見せてもらったり、受付ご担当の方からハワイの写真やいろいろ情報を教えてもらう事ができました。
宿泊施設へ送って頂く際も通り道の随所随所でハワイ情報の説明をして頂きながら送って頂けたので、初日にこのアクティビティに参加して良かったと思いました！
また体験したいです！

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Great Luau Experience
Reviewed by: JannaD
This was a great experience! We had Cousin T as our guide on sexy bus #2. Fun time on the bus both ways.
The luau was great. The activities were Hulu lesson, bowling and spear throwing. Those were a bit boring honestly.
The food was very good and plentiful. Due to COVID restrictions there was not a buffet. The food was handed out pre plated in the buffet line. The food was very tasty. I don’t agree with other reviews that said it was like cafeteria food.
It was a little rainy off and on and they handed out rain ponchos which was nice. The show was good, especially the fire dancer.

The Surf Bus North Shore Fun Tour - Snorkel, Bike, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Waterfall
Loved this!!
Reviewed by: Awesome day!
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!

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch
Too Crowded
Reviewed by: Megan Rish
The dolphin tour was so crowded and even though the guide was friendly and the people were very friendly there were just too many. Many people didn’t actually get to see the dolphins in the water and were being kicked with fins because of how crowded it was. We will not be doing that again unless there are less people.
Aloha Megan,
We are sorry to hear that you found the tour too crowded and will pass this feedback onto our operations management. We have modified operations this month so that we are better dispersing guests between tours available. We are also actively researching for the optimal passenger count that allows us to serve as many guests as possible who dream of swimming with dolphins while still prioritizing safety and comfort. We hope this helps to demonstrate our commitment to your satisfaction. Mahalo and aloha!

We took the shuttle from Waikiki to Paradise cove which ended up being a tour bus. Hala was awesome as she entertained us on the shuttle; she's very personable and has a great sense of humor. Everything was well organized and the property was beautiful. You are greeted with a lovely complementary mai tai but also included was a loaded gift card that you could use in the gift shop or at the bar. There were two activities before we sat down for dinner. The food was very good - and the entertainment was outstanding!

Ko Olina Sunset Snorkel Dinner Cruise with Island Buffet & Cocktails - Ocean Joy
Great crew, awful photographer
Reviewed by: Cece
The crew were friendly, but the photographer was no good. Don’t purchase the pictures. They are not worth it. She basically only took pictures of u on the boat, which u can also do with your own camera. When it’s time to go under water, the photographer was too busy snorkeling herself. We had to chase her down for some pictures, but it came out super blurry. At the end when the pictures package were emailed to us, it consists many Google under water sea life images. I’d recommend u bring ur own phone with waterproof pouch, the pictures will be so much better.

Great experience
Reviewed by: cwest1212@yahoo.com
This was an awesome experience Michael and Myah made our time so unforgettable! They were fun, encouraging and engaging. They really knew how to make sure everyone was having a good time. The equipment was light weight and very secure. I felt safe the whole time, even as a first time zip-liner. I would suggest bringing sun screen and cash. They have bottled water for sale so it’s a good idea to bring your own, if possible. Also, invest in the transportation if not utilizing rental car services during your vacation. The amount of an Uber or Lyft will cost the same if not more than the transportation that Crater Coral offers. Overall it was awesome and I will definitely be returning and recommending to all our friends!

Aloha J & M Family,
Yes, unfortunately the dock was temporarily closed. The National Park Service does not provide us with refunds as the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center has so much to offer with its monuments, exhibits, attack film and museums. You are also able to pay your respects to the fallen from the dockside, which is always open.
We regret that you did not feel the tour guide's knowledgeable narration to/from Waikiki and Pearl Harbor, nor the hassle of driving/parking was worth it. Please accept our apologies and thank you for your valuable feedback. We hope your overall stay in Hawaii was a safe and enjoyable one. Stay well.
