5-in-1 Waikiki Fun Cruise with Snorkeling, Water Slide, Trampoline, Kayak & SUP - E Sea Diver

Not as Advertised

Reviewed by: Mike

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.

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights

Ok parasailing experience, not great staff

Reviewed by: Allie

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.

Parasail Hawaii Tour & Jet Ski Ride Watersports Adventure Combo at Maunalua Bay

My son loved it!

Reviewed by: Keyanta

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.

Lots of activities and fun

Reviewed by: Ulises

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.

Reviewed by: Rebeccawang

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.

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!!

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Fun kayak tour, beautiful views, sea turtles and manta rays!

Reviewed by: Donna

My husband and I had a lot of fun kayaking! We loved the glass bottom kayak [we weren't able to see much underneath the kayak (water wasn't that clear on the day we went) but that's ok!]

We had an amazing tour guide, Dan, who is very knowledgeable about the island and left it to us of what we wanted to do & see / how far we wanted to paddle.

We were able to see sea turtles and also manta rays popping up from the water, which was cool because we never been so close to them before or seen them the times we've been to Hawaii. We really enjoyed kayaking in the river because it was easy to paddle, calm waters and a beautiful view.

Highly recommend and would do this again! Thank you Dan for the tour!

Outrigger Canoe Surfing with Waikiki Beach Boys

So much fun! Felt like a kid again!

Reviewed by: TKA

We sincerely enjoyed our time on the ocean with the outrigger captain and first mate! One of the four of us was very hesitant to be in the ocean and freaked out about the possibility of flipping. These guys were excellent from the very beginning in explaining the paddling method, the proper way to enter and exit the canoe, and why it was totally safe!
Once we got out on the water we were able to catch five waves and enjoyed every single ride!
Thank you for such a joyous time!
