Oahu
It was a great time!!! Shoutout to brandon, abby, and kalani for being the best instructors.
Absolutely amazing!!!
This was the highlight of my trip. I had the most enjoyable time. My husband on the other hand got sea sick. Notice to anyone going, please bring sea sick meds even if you think you've never been sea sick before. The boat is not like a ship...you will feel every wave!
Despite every communication showing “ Activity: Day on the Bay Combo - Parasail, Jet Ski, Banana Boat, or Bumper Tube” the actual voucher eliminated jet skiing.
When we checked in I was informed that my event didn’t include jet skiing, I objected, pulled out my voucher and sure enough that wording was omitted.
Well we ended up tubing, riding on a banana boat, and parasailing over Manaulua bay which was absolutely incredible. The water is gorgeous, and the surrounding homes simply beautiful.
Tubing is awesome; you’re holding on for dear life and it was such a blessing to share the thrill of the banana boat with my family.
At the end they’ll offer you incredible, up close, real-time pictures captured during each event so bring an extra $200.
I would definitely recommend this activity pack.
Mahalo!!!!
This was an incredible experience. Our guide Steven did a fabulous job and gave my wife and daughters the confidence to give snorkeling a real try. I would definitely recommend this again, and then take that experience and go to a better snorkeling location. Great way to try it out and make sure you able and ready before making the expensive snorkeling investment!
Great friendly staff. My girls had a blast. They took great pics.
It says turtle in the title of what this excursion is. It says snorkeling in the title as well. All this was about was taking a bunch of water toys in the middle of the ocean and playing on them. While we were out there, I asked if we were going somewhere else to see the turtles and was told this is nature. Sometimes you see them , sometimes you won’t. Again, this was not about seeing sea turtles and the title needs to be changed. We paid $150 person to jump off side of boat, jump on trampoline, kayak/paddle board and TRY to snorkel in the middle of all this chaos. Tell it like it is and don’t be devious in the title. The crew was the only reason we have 3 stars and tipped on top of what we already paid. They were very nice. But this isn’t what it says it is. Don’t be fooled.
From booking this experience to actual having the experience was AWESOME! Whether you're a beginner or a pro kayaker this is a super majestic and beautiful area to experience kayaking. The staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable of the area & scenic snorkel spots to paddle too. All the snorkel equipment is included in the rental. I recommend this place highly.
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a day on the bay, and thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for us! We really appreciate that. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Best Activity with the nicest staff on the island.
They whole experience was fabulous!
The girls loved the ride.
The ride lasts a good amount of time.
There was just another couple on the boat with the 3 of us.
The boat guys were fun and entertaining.
Worth the money...
Would definitely go with them again!
Mahalo!
Even as a solo participant, the staff were kind and I had fun as a beginner. Those who are new to surfing can join with peace of mind. I will visit again when I go to Hawaii!
一人参加でも.スタッフが親切で初心者でも楽しめました。 サーフィンは初めてという方も安心して参加できます。またハワイに行った時伺います!
First time taking the Surf Bus. Driver was on time. He was knowledgeable. Didn't like his attitude at first because he had a way of making you feel foolish but at the end, he turned out to be a nice guide. My family and I did the waterfall hike and kayaking. The waterfall hike was timed for three hours. It was a beautiful hike through Waimea Valley seeing tropical plants and birds. To my surprise, the waterfall was smaller than I thought. There were too many people swimming already and it was only 10am. My kids did not want to swim because of the amount of people in the water. Even after the hike, and the waterfall and even ate lunch at the cafe, three hours was too much. It could've been spent doing other activities. We went kayaking in the afternoon. My family enjoyed that even though we didn't see any turtles. We were disappointed that we couldn't walk to town and get shaved ice because the line was too long. All in all, my family had a decent time.
Scared of heights but this is why i wanted to do it. The experience was fun and the view was breathtaking. Best part was getting dunked
This was an amazing experience! My husband and I went up with our 7 y/o daughter and she loved it! Would highly recommend trying it out! The guides were awesome s d helpful!
This was my family’s first time in Hawaii and first time parasailing. Let me first say how the booking experience was amazing. The day of our parasail adventure we checked in at the booth. The young lady working that morning was so helpful and had great customer service. When I checked in she explained the 2 pieces of paperwork each adult had to sign. Her phone rang handled her business with the customer on the phone and then apologized and thanked me for being patient. Next she explained everything we needed to know, where we needed to wait etc. Check in process smooth and straight to the point. Then our boat arrives I forgot the young mans name but he was so awesome. Captain Mac I believe his name was, was also amazing. What to expect was clearly explained, directions clearly explained and a sense of humor made our first time parasailing all worth it. Definitely a memory that will not be forgotten. Book with Xtreme an experience you won’t forget !!!!
My bf and I had so much fun! The crew made the experience so much fun! We enjoyed our first time at Hawaii doing this adventure and loved the pictures we got!
This was our first time parasailing and the two gentlemen who drove the boat made it very memorable. Wonderful service and beautifully views.
Got to parasail 850ft in the air. Funny crew that will help you relax and enjoy the experience to the fullest. If you are lucky, they will dip you into the ocean with your permission.
First time parasailing and I’m glad I did it here! My wife and I had an awesome experience and would definitely use this company again. Crew was very friendly.
Our family of 4 (two adults and two kids (ages 5 and 8) really enjoyed this half day adventure. The crew was friendly, the boats and gear were clean, and the paddle and snorkle were fun.
Aloha Beth,
That's awesome! I am so glad to hear your family had such a good time kayaking and snorkeling with us! Thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review. That means a lot to us and we really appreciate it. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
This was our first time and loved every min
We will definitely do it again
I think this rental may be great if someone in your party is familiar with kayaking in Kaneohe Bay, because a guide does not go out with you. Also, we were snorkeling in one of the spots designated on the map we were given and swam right into a group of Portuguese Man 'O War just past the reef. We were stung pretty badly and had to cut our excursion short. We weren't warned about this in advance and saw other folks going out to potentially the same location without warning.
Aloha. I'm sorry to hear that you got stung by Man o War. I know they are a pain. Unfortunately, we cannot predict where they will be any more than we can predict where any other marine life would be. Actually, it's way easier to predict where other kinds of marine life may be, but the Man o War can be anywhere. They just drift with the current. People actually being stung is very rare, so I'm sorry to hear you had the misfortune of coming across one. But I do hope it was clearly advertised that this is an unguided rental and not a guided tour of any kind. Thank you. Hope to see you again, this time with no Man o War encounters.
It was our first time doing this and it was amazing and the crew was awesome.. wished it could have been longer . The view was breathtaking while up in the air.
The entire experience was wonderful but the crew really added to the fun. If you get a chance do this activity. I apologize that I cannot remember the names of the crew.
This trip was great! Lots of activities & plenty of time in the water! Big slide & platform jumping were the best! Also trampoline, paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling ... all so much fun as advertised!
Team Captain Eric & Crew Luna, Sunny, Nacho & Matt made this trip very special. Easy to talk to the crew & very clear instructions.
Thanks!
First time kayaking in Hawaii, the staffs were friendly. My boyfriend and I had a great time kayaking towards the sand bar, it was beautiful!
Aloha Christina! That's awesome! Thank you so much for joining us and for leaving such an awesome review. We really appreciate that. Stoked to hear that you had a great time, hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Staff and the experience was amazing. Snacks and fresh pineapple to refresh us in between our snorkeling. The captain knew all the right places to go where we found a lot of sea turtles and marine life. Awesome!
Thanks so much for joining us and we loved showing you the amazing underwater world in Hawaii.
I did the jet ski and parasailing combo and it made my trip so fun. Recommended to friends already lol
We thought we were booking a turtle snorkel it turns out it was a water sports trip. The boat is in terrible condition. Needs maintenance. When we got to where we we’re going it was a free for all. No coordination. They immediately launched kayaks, paddle boards and a floating trampoline from the stern. At the same time they lowered a water slid from the bow. They made no effort to separate the snorkelers from the kayaks and paddle boards. We wanted to snorkel, but after getting hit in the head 4 times by kayaks and paddle boards we exited the water and waited to return to the harbor. We personally observed several snorkelers get landed upon by people using the water slide. When we went to leave they did not do a head count to make sure everyone was back on board. We have scuba dived and snorkeled from Morea, Guam, Bahamas and Cayman Islands, and we never experienced a trip where they combined water sports such as these with snorkelers. Very dangerous.
My teenage boys had nothing but good to say about this group! They had a enjoyable and memorable experience! They talked and laughed about it for hours! Don’t forget to buy the pictures they do an amazing job! My husband and I let the boys go on their own and they loved every minute of it!
We had a blast! Our guide was so funny and nice! Enjoyed our time together!
