Oahu
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!
Our experience was ok..we were greeted by a cranky woman at the desk she mentioned our boat would arrive soon, our reservation was for 11am and we didn't end up boarding the boat until approximately 11:20. The crew on the boat was rude, we brought our gopro to film and it was about to die so we politely asked if we could go next so we could get footage of us in the air..they made a big deal of it and told us no even though the people who were up "next" didnt mind. I will say parasailing experience was a lot of fun! Just beware they ask you if you want to be dipped into the water, the couple before us stated they DID NOT want to be dipped but the crew said to us that they have a "special dip" for people who say no and proceeded to dip them into the water multiple times.
This was so much fun! We got to see part of the island. I got to SUP for the first time. Learned a lot while on the bus. The driver was telling us about the scenery and where certain movies were filmed.
Was windy but still pushed on through and made it to the sandbar. Awesome adventure and very beautiful. The water was super clear. Saw corals, and the beautiful scenery which opened my eyes to the wonders of Hawaii!
Aloha Tony! That's awesome! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure. Glad you were able to brave the wind and have an awesome kayak and snorkel adventure! Thank you for taking the time to leave such awesome feedback and pictures. We really appreciate that. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
I sent my 16 year old son to Honolulu with his grandmother. I purchased the jet ski, parasail package online. I called to confirm that he didn’t need a partner to parasail. A few of the parasail tours would not let him do the activity without purchasing two packages. This tour stated that I could purchase one parasail and they would match him with someone on the day of. They kept their word!!
I was also able to buy an upgraded jet ski so that he could ride alone. That was excellent. He had so much fun on the jet skis.
I would definitely recommend.
Mahalo for spending time with us!
You have to get the deluxe package though. The slide is lots of fun. Jumping off the second story. Kayaking, paddle board.
Lots to do beside the snorkeling.
The snorkeling can be hit and miss depending on current and boat position. Make sure you ask the crew where the reef is located. Otherwise it will be hard to see any marine life.
My first time out on the ocean and it was great. We caught a 40 pound Maui Maui. The crew were Brewski and Darren they were great. Very personable and knowledgeable. They cut up all the fish and decided amongst all the passengers.
Staff was amazing the whole boat guest crew wax amazing . The activities were amazing created so many memories. Do not forget your water and snacks Dont!!!!!
This event was great and fun, the view while on the parasail is great and the captain/crew had great personality. A warning to those who get motion sick however, don’t eat too much before going on this trip. The boat ride gets a bit nauseating from all the waves.
The guides who helped us set up were very polite and helpful, let us know where to go to see the most fish, and we had an amazing time snorkeling around coral, fish, sea cucumbers and then we even saw two sea turtles right next to our kayak, which was a highlight of our vacation. highly recommend
Aloha Annika! That's awesome! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and thank you for taking the time to leave such positive feedback! We really appreciate that. Stoked to hear you had a great time. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Our two families ranged from 10yo to middle aged, we all had an amazing time!! We saw sea turtles while floating through the sky! Thank you for a memorable first visit to Hawaii!
It was an awesome experience. People were nice and friendly! Parasailing was super fun.
This was an amazing thing to do. Staff was awesome , friendly and very helpful. We had an absolute blast!!!!! Recommend this for sure as a must do. Outside of the scooter we got to swim/snorkel with a sea turtle which was outstanding. Thank you for the adventure.
Great first time experience Parasailing and I’m for-sure looking forward to try again. Pictures were great headed to you after finishing. Such a good staff as well. I can say this was a great and fun experience!!!
Had a blast parasailing with the Hawaiian Parasail team! Definitely an experience to try at least once. The team made the experience smooth and exciting. Thanks again!
Veltra’s refund policy for cancelling more than 24 hours is not as lenient as other booking sites. We did not see a direct way to ask for refund either.
Glass bottom boat was great! We went twice in a day.
Had a blast staff was more than helpful and patient with me and my wife... A must do
We got there worrying about how we would take some nice pictures without the camera/phone getting drowned/dropped, but we were offered some photography services for $30, able to take the SD card the pictures were taken on home with us. We really loved how they turned out, being able to keep memorabilia of a really great first experience in Hawaii!
The guys running the boat were so great and fun, I would suggest it at least once!!
This was one of my favorite things that I did during my trip to Hawaii! Highly recommend the 1000 feet line--you get an amazing view of the island! The staff were so nice and made sure everyone felt comfortable. It was truly an amazing experience.
Check-in was easy and on time. The captain and his mate were so personable and funny, they made everyone have a good time whether they were parasailing or not. Look out though, they like to dip you into the water!
