Guided Stargazing Tour Led by NASA Ambassador Astronomer at the Ko Olina Resorts

Stars over Oahu

Reviewed by: Danny D

This was a really cool & interesting thing to do. We saw some spectacular stars, star clusters and Mars. We even saw the Southern Cross, which was awesome!! Our original date was "clouded out" but they were so accommodating to re-schedule us.

Oahu Lei Greeting Service at Honolulu Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace & More

Had to do it again!

Reviewed by: Jeff

I had family members flying to Honolulu for first time back in 2019 and found I could have them receive Lei's as the came off the plane. I thought that sounded like a great greeting to Hawaii for the first time.

My family members loved it so much. I found out they were going to go back to Honolulu again because they fell in love with Hawaii. This time there was going to be a total of 5 family members traveling. I got them all Lei's.

Because of Covid, this time the greeters could not meet my family members at the gate when they deplaned. Everyone in my family still loved getting the Lei's when they reached the baggage claim area.

So be it a gift for yourself or family or friends, I highly recommend a Welcome Flower Lei Greeting at the airport.

Secrets of North Shore Off-Road Expedition Tour with Freshwater Pool Swim

Talk about an Adventure!

Reviewed by: Erinn B

We wanted to learn more about the culture of Hawaii through an activity that was outside our comfort zone and this tour was the best thing ever. Huge part to our tour guide Ryan who kept us engaged even though we were hanging on for dear life in some parts of the off-roading haha... it was a fun ride especially since it was just our group, we had space to bounce around.

Polynesian Cultural Center Admission Tickets & HĀ Breath of Life Evening Show

Polynesian Cultural Center is a Must!

Reviewed by: Daisy

This was the highlight of my first trip to Oahu so I definitely recommend this activity to any tourist for all ages. There is so much to see that you definitely cannot watch all the shows and activities all in one day so definitely suggest getting there early. This is a great way to learn the different cultures - dance, traditions, food, etc. Highly suggest you wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot.

Lei Delivery to Hawaii & Mainland U.S. - Fresh Flowers from Hawaii

Pleasant Surprise

Reviewed by: Michael

Thanks to the quarantine I wasn't able to celebrate my 30th birthday, but my wife made sure I had a good day. Not only did she cook a steak dinner and order the present at the top of my wish list, she also had a fresh lei sent all the way from Hawaii.

I was a little confused when the box arrived because normally I'm the one who orders flowers. Now, I usually don't wear flowers, but after living in Hawaii for a couple years I learned that receiving a lei is an honor and a special gift.

We were both pleasantly surprised that the flowers were in such good condition after being shipped all the way from Hawaii to the East coast.

We're so happy with the delivery and lei that we want to order some for our moms for Mother's Day!

Lei Delivery to Hawaii & Mainland U.S. - Fresh Flowers from Hawaii

Successful Delivery - Happy Customer

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

My husband recently celebrated his 30th birthday, and like many people whose plans have changed due to COVID-19, we had to cancel our celebration plans. Though I ordered a nice birthday present and made his dinner of choice, I wanted to do something extra, something that would remind him of a place that is special to both of us.

We got engaged and married in Hawaii and have many special memories there, so for his birthday I thought it would be nice to order a fresh Hawaiian lei. Honestly it was just as much for me as it was for him. Since we’ve been quarantined somewhere cold, all I’ve been thinking about is the warm Hawaiian air and tropical waters.

When the lei arrived, my husband was touched and appreciative but he knew it meant more to me; he’s not a flower kind of guy. So after presenting him with the lei and taking some pictures, he let me hang the lei so we could both enjoy the fresh flowers.

The booking process was simple and I received my tracking number when the delivery was shipped. The lei arrived exactly when it was supposed to and the flowers were in perfect condition. Not a single petal had fallen off. Now I just need to order one for my mom for Mother's Day!

  • Delivery was on time and the flowers were perfect

  • Delivered with aloha!

  • A special gift all the way from Hawaii

  • I know you're supposed to put them in the fridge so they last longer, but I just love to look at them.

Definitely the highlight

Reviewed by: Jolene

Everything was great. Tour guides were so cute and had so much knowledge. Each island was very entertaining. Even though it rained heavily most of the day it didn't dampen the experience. The ending pageant was fabulous. We were a little disappointed in the luau but still very entertaining. Definitely something we would do again. Waited 45 married years to get to Hawaii and see this event.

Reviewed by: 宇宙のよっちゃん

After a young guide named AYA gave us a tour of the museum, the lesson began. I could barely keep up; my husband was in charge of the music, and a Japanese female teacher taught us dance in Japanese. Since I was alone this time, I paid for two people to receive the instruction.

最初にミュージアムの案内を若いAYAさんがしてくれた後、レッスン開始。ついていくのがやっとでした、旦那さんが音楽担当で日本人の女性の先生が日本語でダンスを教えてくれました。今回一人でしたので、二人分の費用を払って教えてもらいました。

Thank you for participating in the intermediate hula lesson at La Creole! Due to the minimum required number of participants being two, this program was conducted with your request and understanding. We hope you enjoyed learning more about hula through the plants associated with it, the guided tour focused on hula, and the overall classical hula lesson program. Hula was wonderful! Please continue to enjoy hula, and we hope you visit the museum again when you have the chance. Thank you!

The Lauhala weaving was for making bracelets. ラウハラ編みは腕輪作りでした

Reviewed by: 宇宙のよっちゃん

It took about 20 minutes by taxi from Hokulani Waikiki to get there, costing $35 with HANA Taxi. On the way back, it was also $35 to Ala Moana Shopping Center. Since we arrived too early, we sat on a bench and found free Wi-Fi. We flew with JAL this time, so the Rainbow Trolley didn't stop at the Bishop Museum, and I reserved a taxi for the return trip, but it would have been better not to. This is because there was a café called Café Leria, and there were many other things to see. The three-story building had an elevator, so my elderly mother was able to tour it. The guide was an older lady named Noriko, who briefly introduced various plant names and showed us around the museum. I was clumsy with the lauhala weaving, so Noriko helped me, but my 85-year-old mother was able to make it on her own.

行きはホクラニワイキキからタクシーで20分ほどHANAタクシーで35$、帰りはアラモアナショッピングセンターまで35$。早く着きすぎたので、ベンチに座っていたら無料のWi-Fiがありました。今回JALでしたのでレインボートロリー、ビショップミュージアムにはとまらないので帰りもタクシー予約しましたが、HANAタクシーはLINEで日本語で来てくれるので帰りの予約はしないほうが良かった。なぜなら、カフェレリアガあったそうでしたし、他にもたくさん見るべきものありました。3階建ての建物にはエレベーターがついていて高齢の母でも見学出来ました。案内してくれたのは年配のNORIKOさん、いろいろ植物の名前、館内を簡単に案内した後、ラウハラ編み私は不器用でしたのでNORIKOさんに手伝ってもらいましたが、85歳の母は自分で作れました。

Thank you for participating in the garden tour the other day. I hope you and your family enjoyed the program. Your mother's bracelet is lovely! The program includes admission fees, so you can enjoy the exhibits and stroll through the gardens as long as time permits after the program ends. In addition to the permanent exhibits, the museum also has special exhibitions that change periodically. Please do stop by again the next time you visit Hawaii. Thank you.

先日はガーデンツアーへのご参加ありがとうございました。ご家族の皆様とプログラムをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたら幸いです。御母様のブレスレット、素敵です!プログラムは入館料が込みとなっておりますのでプログラム終了後もお時間の許す限り館内の展示やガーデンの散策をお楽しみ頂くことができます。ミュージアムには常設の展示以外に期間で内容が変わる特別展示もあります。また次回ハワイにお越しの際には是非お立ち寄り下さい。ありがとうございます。

Oahu Lei Greeting Service at Honolulu Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace & More

Greeting in Honolulu

Reviewed by: Bearman

What can I say. Any time I can surprise my wife and make her smile , especially after a long flight, is a great way to start a vacation. Met outside the gate as we got off the plane, put the Lai over my wife's head with a warm aloha , she then offered to guide us to baggage claim, which we passed on. She followed us from a distance and when I did come to a not sure point she guided us. For me great experience.

Amazing Polynesian Experience

Reviewed by: Shane

What an amazing day, full of many unique experiences and very friendly staff.

It started with a great host on the bus ride to the centre. He was funny, informative and well spoken. The day continued with our guide throughout the centre. I recommend paying for the Ambassador experience. It is worth the extra dollars to ensure you make all the shows on time.

The feast we had for dinner was excellent quality and ample. There was the opportunity to eat seconds and thirds if you wanted.

The final show the breath of life was an amazing display. I would have been satisfied with just that show and dinner.

I will be recommending this experience to my family and friends.
