The description of the Falls "hike" should be reworded to "casual stroll". All the interesting parts that might be qualified as hikes were barred as off limits for falling rock or just closed off. Also, the change in elevation was laughable. It was more like going to a park.
The waterfall actually had water, but not enough water yet for swimming, which was teh main point of it. That part was very underwhelming.
The snorkeling on teh beach was great. Amazing area and great knowledgeable staff/tour guides. highly recommend that part.

The 4 hour guided kayaking excursion was amazing! We had Matt and Andy and could not have asked for better guides! They made the entire excursion so much fun! My husband and I cannot wait to come back again!

Parasailing was a lot of fun. The staff was very friendly and funny. What keeps me from giving them a 5 star is that the pictures they take of you cannot be purchased individually. So if you want any of the pictures they take you have to buy all of them which starts at $30.

My boyfriend and I went parasailing to celebrate our anniversary, and it was awesome! The crew was polite, interactive, and entertaining, but at the same time safe and professional. The boat ride and the parasailing itself was lots of fun! I thought that it would be scary, but it was really easy and exciting and I wasnt that afraid at all. It was also romantic to parasail with my boyfriend, so this is a great activity for couples! (But friends and family as well.) I would suggest this activity to everyone, and would gladly do it again =]

Firstly,at best my partner is a moderate swimmer, so she really isn't confident in the water.
We booked a 4 hour kayaking activity with some apprehension. I can honestly say it was the best day of our holiday.
Not only because Lanakai beach was fantastic but mainly because of the young staff, like Andy and Nick our guides. The staff don't wrap you up in cotton wool. They are young, laid back but professional if needed and full of local knowledge.
Super, super day. Many thanks. Mandy and Mark (UK)

I recommend this for anyone who is not afraid of heights. You can get a great view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, and once you're up in the air, it's not as scary as you might think! The explanations are in English, but it's not a big problem if you don't understand them. As part of the service, you will fall into the sea once, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. Also, it might be cold while you're waiting depending on the weather, so having a hoodie or something similar would be good.
高所恐怖症の方以外にはお勧めです。
ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドが海上から一望できますし、上空に上がってしまえば思ったほど怖くないですよ!説明は英語ですが解らなくてもそれほど問題ありません。
サービスの一環?で一度海に落ちますので水着着用とタオルは必須です。あと待っている間天候によっては寒いかもしれませんのでパーカー等あればいいですね。

It was fun, but it was a very windy day! The seas were rough which made our parasailing very interesting! My husband, 6 year old and I flew together. I was squished in the middle and I also felt a bit sea sick. It wasn't as enjoyable as I thought because of the wind, but it was fun! The crew was wonderful!

I really enjoyed this trip, we didn't rent a car in Oahu and this was a great way to see the North Shore. We learned a great deal of Hawaiian history on the way up. And the town and Waimeia Beach are incredible. We snorkeled and swam in the waterfall at waimeia (?), it was a cool day but the water was temperate and so fresh - if you go to the waterfall swim in the lake surrounding it - its really wonderful. Bonzai Pipeline had no waves though so I'll have to go back in the winter.

This was one of the most beautiful activities I did while in Hawaii. It was great exercise and I would reccommend doing this with a partner. I did this by myself and I found it quite difficult, but then again I'm not in good shape at all. May be easier for someone who is in shape. The beaches are so beautiful that I ended up comming back on my own a few days later. Take an underwater camera because the view is great.

My husband and I went fishing one night in Oahu. It was not quite what we expected. The whole boat caught maybe 5 fish around 6 inches long. The bbq dinner was some chili out of a can on some rice with a hot dog minus the bun. There were no drinks, the captain and the crew member had soda, but none for the rest of us. We did see a beautiful sunset, and it did get us onto the water. I don't think we would do it again.

The parasailing was a lot of fun. You go up and you sit in the sky for about eight minutes. The views are amazing, but your time seems a little short. It's very relaxing though, and the staff was definatly having fun with their job. The only thing that was a little surprising was the fact that they advertised literally exactly how much they were expecting to be tipped. At least $20. Other then that it was alot of fun.

We went with this company because of the good reviews, and we had a great time! The jetski's were in good condition, and the went super fast. It was so much fun to race around on the ocean with the wind and water spraying up at you! Just a little hint for future riders, wear water-proof sunblock, because having sun-lotion drip into your eyes STINGS!

I've always wanted to be a certified scuba diver, and I'm so glad that I just decided to do it finally. The instructors at Aaron's Dive Shop were very professional and friendly, and they made the whole process easy. I had to do a bit homework but it was totally worth it, and I got to learn a lot. They answered all the questions I had, and explained throughly until I understood. So by the time I finished all the academics, I had a confidence to go underwater and play!
The two dives took place in Hawaii Kai, and I got to swim with a lot of Hawaiian sea turtles! They are the most relaxing animals. I also go to see some octopus, eels, etc.
I am now a certified diver, and I am ready to move on to advanced diver course. Thank you Aaron's Dive Shop!

Here are some things you need to know before you go on this adventure.
1. Bring your own food
When you first get on the boat, you will be given a plate with 2 hamburger patties (at least it looked like hamburger), a hot dog, rice (very bad rice), and it is all smothered in beans. You do not get any buns for the hamburgers or hot dogs or a choice on any part of the food. My son hates beans but since we were not asked anything, the whole plate was covered with beans over the meat and rice. The food was nasty but if your hungry you have to eat it.
2. Bring your own drinks
Bring your own soda or beer since the only thing available on the boat is water or juice.
3. Bring hand sanitizer
you will be baiting your own hooks with raw, sticky tuna chunks and the smell with stay on your hands for the whole day even after trying to scrub it off when you get back to your hotel. Bring gloves or hand santizer, you will thank me.

We enjoyed the parasailing part of the activity and the transport bus was timely and clean, but the overally experience was tainted by the heavy handed demand for $20.00 tips. Like having dinner at a nice restaurant where the waiter recommends/demand to know the amount of your intended tip before he/she recommending the catch of the day.
the blatant tip demand unfortunately tainted an othewise nice activity. We did tip and would have without the demand for tip, but the demand made me feel unwelcome. wouldnt come back only because of that.
other than that it was as advertised and enjoyable. maybe you dont care or want repeat business. mike.

The Parasailing was great but they did not give each family duo the same amount of time. The first group went twice as long as the others, and the last group was really shortened. I think because they brought another group out before we were done and so they hurried ours.

You can challenge yourself at various heights, but since I was there, I signed up for the highest one. I did a similar activity in Saipan before, but this one goes really high up!
I briefly thought about what would happen if I fell...
But honestly, the view was amazing, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the air.
色々な高さに挑戦できますが、せっかくなので一番高いのに申し込みました。
以前サイパンで同様のアクティビティーをしたのですが、これはとにかく高くまで上がります!
落ちたら・・・
とか一瞬思いますが、ホント景色も最高で、ゆっくりと空中散歩を楽しめました。

My Dad and I just went on the Daytime Bottom Fishing trip and we had a blast. My Dad caught the most fish of anyone on the boat! I only caught one but it was really pretty. Some people caught fish you could eat so they cooked it on the back of the boat and we all got to try it. The rest of the lunch was local Hawaiian BBQ and we both liked it. Great Trip!
