All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

If you would really like to do something romantic for your boyfriend or girlfriend this is the web page where you can find many activities. I got a surprise limo ride from the luau back to our hotel, and I have to say it was nice way to end the Luau dinner. The staff was very helpful. You can call them during their work hours and they will help you any way they can. I really recommend it.

A very fun time with a nice tour guide and his family. Unique stops on the North SHore that most tour companies just drive by. Highly Recommended!

My bother and I went on the Oahu Day Cruise on April 10th 2008 just for an activity for the day. The cruise was an amazing experience with great staff and good people. The whales were amazing that day, so there was no lack of seeing one. I would highly recommend this activity during april or wnever there are whales to watch. It was quite an experience. Thanks to Hawaii Activities, and the Star of Honolulu crew.

My family had a wonderful time on this cruise. We would do this again if we go back to Hawaii. Everyone should try it, the food was great, the entertainment was great. Evrything was wonderful.

Our tour driver was excellent. Garfield was energetic, informative, polite, and entertaining. We learned lots of things from him and had a great time.

Thanks, Gar - we really appreciated your care of us while touring Oah'u. You certainly made our day.

The meal, the activities alongside the watching, and the prices were all satisfactory. We saw whales several times!! However, they didn't jump as much as in the photos. It felt more like their fins were rolling with the waves. Still, being able to experience whales up close like this is truly unique to Hawaii.

食事内容、ウォッチングと平行しているアクティビティー、料金とも納得できるものでした。クジラも何度か出てくれましたしね！！でもあの写真程はジャンプしませんでした。波とともに背びれがうねる~と言う感じです。それにしても　こんなに近くでクジラを感じられるのはやはりハワイならではですよね。　

Was really informative, fun, yet still educational. Took the whole family we all enjoyed it. The tour around the city was just right to get the main points of Hawaiian history. The driver was very well informed on all the facts.

My client called wanting a dinner cruise at sunset so he could ask the woman of his dreams to marry him!

As his travel agent I opted to use Hawaii Activities. We booked the Sunset Dinner Cruise and Tom added the private dinning options with the complimentary professional picture.

I received a picture text at 2:30am from Tom indicating that Conni had said yes, taken by a cruise line staff!

My clients had an absolutely wonderful time with memories that will carry them through their life together.

The Travel DRS will in the future recommend this cruise to any/all my clients as an option for their Hawaii vacation.

This was a great tour. I am planning on doing it again in 2009. Our tour guide/driver, Art, was great. Great deal and very informative.

Brother Oscar was great. Informative and entertaining. A great tour for all. Well recommended.

IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE WATCHING WHALES WHILE HAVING LUNCH. HAD A GREAT TIME!

Your tour guide was Ron. He was the best tour guide anyone would want. He was very knowledgeable and took time to show us everything. Thank you very much. The MO is magnificent.

Great tour and guide

I took my girl on this 3 star dinner cruise and we had a really great time. She thought watching the sunset out by diamond head was really romantic - bonus points for me! I never ate a whole lobster before and it was awesome. The show was pretty sweet too because it is a small stage and they are really close to you and they have cool costumes. Thanks for a great night!

Pearl Harbor-Battleship Missouri Tour. I had randomly chosen this tour as a last-minute activity before we visited Honolulu. It was a wonderful surprise to have a very knowledgeable individual tour guide. The additional spaces we we able to visit on the ship were awesome and it was indeed worth price of admission.

We briefly saw some whales, but did not really get close enough to get any good pictures. Food was okay. The air conditioning was on high and everyone, even the mem on board were complaining about how cold it was. It was cool and windy out on deck, but people were going out to try to warm up. It really distracted from the enjoyment of the cruise.

The Whale watch cruise aboard the Star of Honolulu was enjoyable. We did see whales from a distance and near the boat. We also saw spinner dolphins at the beginning of the cruise.
The other activities on board besides the whale watching was entertaining. My daughter enjoyed making leis for us and herself.
The lunch that was served was delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed returning to the buffet for a second helping of the salads. My daughter enjoyed the fruits and cookies that were served. The price of drinks were a bit pricey.

I want to thank the staff who helped me cleanup after my daughter when she became seasick on the cruise. They also stopped by our table afterwards and inquired about how she was doing. Thanks for your concern. Thanks also to the passengers who helped me as well with their kleenex and kindness.

I would recommend this cruise to anyone who wants an off island excursion. It shows the island's beauty from a different viewpoint.

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we wanted to make sure that we don't miss North Shore, but didn't want to take a typical sightseeing tour on a huge bus with 50 other people. This tour turns out to be a great one with a lot of personal touch. We were able to enjoy a full day on Waimea Bay, just relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. A perfect day on the north shore. We were also able to check out the Haleiwa Town to do some shopping. There are a lot of artists living there to sell their beautiful arts. Highly recommended!

It was the highlight of our Vacation! If anybody is interested in history then you need to go and do the tour ! We loved it!!!

The cruise was nice and we DID see whales! Not a lot of them, but a few spouts and breaches. Too far to really get any type of photo. The lunch is well worth it - better food than what we had at the Polynesian Center Luau!!! I'd recommend to friends who are on first time visits.

This was worthwhile. Guide was helpful, informative, friendly. One drawback - necessary time limitations; if you really want to be leisurely about the visit, tour the museum using the audio guide ($5 price, not part of Hawaiiactivities.com), shop the store at your pace, etc., it may be better to drive yourself to the site. If that's not your objective, then this tour is perfect. The tour of Honolulu afterward was very enjoyable, giving bits of history and current news.

COUSIN BOB IS WONDERFUL. HE HAS SO MUCH INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH US. MY HUSBAND AND I ENJOYED THE TOUR.

We really enjoyed this dinner cruise and would highly recommend it to any couple. We had a lovely Valentine evening.

It was my first time going whale watching. After doing some research, I found that booking through Alan was the cheapest option. We participated in the no-lunch course, and it was the right choice! Although they say it doesn't sway much, it still rocked a bit... If you're prone to seasickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication in advance. Oh, they also provide motion sickness medication on board. Coffee, tea, and water are free!

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, and the interpreter mentioned, "It's the season, so we see whales every day," so I was hopeful... but no whales appeared, no matter how long we waited. Other guests seemed to be getting restless too. There were hula, ukulele, and lei-making classes offered, but I couldn't bring myself to participate since we hadn't seen any whales yet... (Other guests joined in and seemed to be enjoying it!) Just as we were nearing the return time, we finally saw a mother and calf whale breaching! However... they were far away... We only caught a glimpse of them a few times. I thought, "Is this really it?" But, since they are wild animals and there are regulations against getting within 100 meters, it can't be helped. My expectations were too high. Still, even from a distance, watching the mother and calf whales swimming leisurely made me feel quite happy!

I recommend bringing a light long-sleeve shirt when boarding. It can get quite cold on the water due to the strong wind.

初ホールウォッチングでした。いろいろ調べた結果、アランちゃんから申し込むのが一番安かったです。私達は昼なしコースで参加しました。そして正解でした！揺れにくい、とは言ってもやっぱり揺れました･･･。船に弱い方は、あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうが良いでしょう。あ、船内でも酔い止めをくれますよ。コーヒー、紅茶、水は無料です♪

当日は天気もよく、通訳の方が「今はシーズンなので毎日鯨を見れてます」と仰っていたので期待していたのですが。。。待てど暮らせど鯨現れず。。。ほかのお客さん達も時間を持て余しているようでした。フラ、ウクレレ、レイ教室も催されていましたが、まだ鯨を見れてないのに･･･と私は参加する気持ちになれませんでした。（ほかのお客さん達は参加していました。楽しんでいましたよ！）そして、もう帰港時間間際･･･というところでやっと親子鯨のブリーチングを見れました！ただ・・・遠い・・・。ぷしゅーっていうのと、背中チラリが何回か見れただけ。あれ？これで終わりなの？と思ってしまいました。でも、野生ですし、100Ｍ以内近づいたらいけない規制があるようで、仕方がないですね。期待が大きすぎました。でも、遠くでしたが、ゆったり泳いでいる親子くじらを見て、なんだか幸せ気分になれました♪

乗船するときは、薄手の長袖を持っていかれたほうがいいと思います。海の上って風が強く結構寒いです。

My father fought in WWII in Italy, my brother was stationed off the coast of Vietnam for two tours, and my son is now serving in Iraq. To say the least the tour of the USS Missouri and the viewing of Pearl Harbor was emotional...just thinking about all who fought for our freedom and all who gave their life. Thank you for preserving history.

Great whale watching tour. We seen 14 whales. It was awesome.

highly reccomend this dinner cruise to anyone who wants to have a great romantic night with the one you love. the staff is amazing and the food was just so delicious. i have been on many dinner cruises and the 5star was by far the best one i have ever been on. you can tell that the staff and the chefs take a lot of time and care to make sure that you have a great evening. worth every penny!

This is my second time on the Star of Honolulu.
Last time, the dinner cruise was amazing.
This time, I participated in the seasonal whale watching.
The lunch was delicious! Making leis and experiencing ukulele and hula was so much fun! The crew members were also wonderful people, as expected!
Star of Honolulu is the best!!
And luckily, we were able to see whales.
We witnessed a lively baby whale breaching multiple times, followed by the mother whale occasionally spouting water and showing her large back as she followed along. It was breathtaking!
I highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Finally, Star of Honolulu is the best!!!!

スターオブホノルル乗船は２回目です。
前回は、ディナークルーズで最高でした。
今回は、この時期限定のホエールウォチィングに参加です。
ランチもおいしくて！レイ作り・ウクレレやフラ体験もウキウキ！クルーの皆さんも楽しい人たちで、さすが！
スターオブホノルル最高！！
そして、クジラも運の良いことに見ることができました。
赤ちゃんクジラの元気のよいブリーチング！何度も何度も・・・その後ろをお母さんクジラが　時々潮を吹きながら
大きな背中を見せてついて行きます。感激でした！
是非、皆さんに体験してほしいツアーです。
最後に、スターオブホノルル最高！！！！！

Rongo, our driver, was very fun and entertaining. From picking us up to dropping us off he had excellent information to share and plenty of jokes to tell. Even after most people were dropped off and we were the last ones to our hotel, he was giving us little tidbits of information on good eating and fun attractions. This is a trip everyone should see on their first visit to oahu, and the dole plantation is a must.

The navy treats the arizona memorial as a cemetary, and most of the guests do the same. Some people feel the need to ruin it for everyone else by talking loudly, but besides them, there is a definate feeling of patriotism onboard the memorial. The city tour was fact filled and interesting.
