The dinner cruise was awesome. We really enjoyed the show, dinner, and staff. The all you can eat crab legs really hit the spot. Thanks for making our last night in Hawaii a memorable one.

The wife and I enjoyed this tour immensely. We had always been doing the Waikiki stuff on vacation in Hawaii before now, but this time we decided to see what was on the Eastside of the island.
And by far, we both feel this is the prettiest spot on the whole island. It is quieter and really does have that "Old Hawaii" feel to it. The tour was excellent, the ranch is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable in answering every question we had.
Our first date was to the movie Jurassic Park too, so that was a really neat added benefit, to visit the place some scenes were actually filmed there! Would highly recommend this tour!

I'm from NZ and am intending on bringing some 11-12yr olds back next year. I found it very moving and am sure everyone who attends will also be the same. I hope that when I do bring my students back that they will also appreciate and understand the impact it has had on everyone involved. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

My husband Andy & I really enjoyed our first experience with riding Segways in the beautiful location of Waikiki HI. Initially learning to ride the Segway took only a matter of minutes. Our instructor & guide Mike was super friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to my next Segway ride.

We had such an amazing tour guide. He was so informative about the island in general. He talked about all kinds of plants, animals, history of the island, celebrities, hot tourist and local spots, restaraunts, activities, and pearl harbor. He was a walking Hawaiian encyclopedia. Every question we asked he was able to answer. He even had a notebook of pictures just incase he needed to show us something not found on the tour. The tour was an all day event that seemed short. Before we knew it the time creeped up and our tour was coming to an end. His name was Ken and I would take that tour again only with him. My whole family learned so much and throughout our vacation we were able to answer all of our other tours questions and they were so impressed; that was the best part.

Sunset Dinner Cruise, Cocktails, Dancing.. what a fun night! Let me tell you, seeing a sunset in Hawaii is wonderful but seeing it from the ocean, its like a paint brush painted the skies for the evening. Perfect for that special romantic moment with your loved one!
Unfortunately, I did not see the mystical green flash, but we did see several dolphins and the sunset over the water, magical!
Staff was very attentive and came by my dinner table through out the evening to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone on-board participated in the dancing. Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise!

My wife and I took this cruise and had a great time!
Being new to the area, we asked for some suggestions and several people mentioned the Star of Honolulu to us. So we gave it a shot, and we are so glad we did.
It was easy to get to the pickup point right from our hotel, we actually walked! And then the dinner was great. I am a big eater, and a self-professed food snob, but that lobster and five-course meal was truly amazing. Fireworks capped off the night with a bang, and it was just wonderful.

We just came back from our Hawaii vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It started off in Pearl Harbor which is just amazing and a very powerful experience. We then continued onto Dole Pineapple plantation (make sure you try a Dole Whip) and the North Shore. We then continued onto other amazing sites along the western side of the island, including lunch on a secluded area on the water. Our tour guide was hilarious, and just an all around great guy who really added to the experience. I can't wait to go back to Hawaii to take the tour again. I would recommend this to anyone who is going to Oahu for a vacation.

We did the hike-only portion up to a waterwall. Beautiful rainforest hike on the way up, and impressively thick bamboo forest on the way back down. We appreciated that bug spray, water, and snacks were provided. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and patient with the occasional extra time it took our 6-year old daughter to navigate some slippery and steep areas. Bike Hawaii was understanding and flexible with us when we accidentally started on the wrong activity, and easily re-scheduled us to another day so we could enjoy the activity we meant to attend. I'm sure we will use their business again when we return to Oahu.
Sidenote: our transportation back to the hotel was a 6-seater vehicle, with 7 intended passengers. Much Thanks to the cab driver who insisted that it was not safe for me to simply "hold my daughter on my lap" for the return ride! I totally agree.

We had a BALL with Henry (our tour guide) and ALL of the employees we came across was sooooo friendly, funny and quick with jokes! This is a MUST DO! in Hawaii and booking thru Hawaii activities was easy and they call to confirm my pick up time and gave all the details again. From the time we got on the bus it was laughter from Everyone! Polynesian CC was just way beyond our expectations - we could not get enough. By the end of the day we were pooped! If you really want to get your $$'s worth and see Hawaii for what it is...DO THIS TOUR! you will not regret it. (Then again who regret anything in Hawaii?) I say BIG THANKS! to Henry and Hawaii Activities!! Mahalo again!

We participated as a family of two.
There were a total of five participants, which made it feel very homey, and we had a great time in the wagon.
The guide was also entertaining.
This tree, Dole, Haleiwa, canyon horseback riding, garlic shrimp lunch, turtle watching, and arriving at the hotel around 3 PM.
It was my first time horseback riding, and I was a bit anxious, but I was able to ride for an hour and a half, and by the end, I got used to the horse and had a lot of fun.
I had always wanted to try the garlic shrimp from the North Shore, and my wish came true. It was very delicious and impressive.
They adjusted the sightseeing times here and there, allowing us to have a meaningful day. We were also able to do some shopping!
It was truly more enjoyable than I expected. Thank you very much.

The tour was a great use of our time on the island. It does take an entire day though so be prepared for that. Pearl Harbor was great, there was no question on where we needed to be and when. If you want a full look at the Pearl Harbor site (submarine and all) you should plan more time to go back or do this part separately.
Our tour guides were friendly, helpful, and funny. They kept our attention the whole day with lots of great tidbits about the island. The tour was awesome. We got to see where filmings happened and which beaches were great for which activities. It was awesome. I wish we had done this tour on our first day of the island instead of toward the end of our trip.
I would definitely recommend the full circle and not just the north shore tour. There is so much more you get to see in the last couple hours. I can hardly wait to go back and use all the information!
I would definitely recommend!

Initially, we were told that we were unable to tour the Arizona until 30 minutes before we needed to check out of our hotel. Our driver, Cousin Jerry, saved the day. He walked up to the ticket booth and obtained tickets for my entire family for a tour three hours earlier. This gave us plenty of time to tour the Arizona and Honolulu and have lunch. He really went the extra mile for us!

Well worth the experience for the activity and the views. It is a moderate hike, so if you are overwieght and/or out of shape, it takes a lot of effort. Take water, go earlier rather than later, and don't go on an empty stomach. Very enjoyable.

I happened to sign up for the tour during the season when whales can be seen. Also, I thought that even if I couldn't see any whales, just being able to see Waikiki from the sea would be good enough, so I signed up with a light heart.
As a result, it was really great.
1. I was able to see the blue whales multiple times.
2. The food was much more delicious than what I had during the magic show, and even when the whales appeared, I was watching from the dining area while eating.
3. My wife usually gets seasick within an hour, but she didn't feel the engine's vibrations and was surprised by how little the boat rocked.
4. While Diamond Head is a great way to get a view of Waikiki, from the sea, we could see all the way to downtown.
5. I experienced my first ukulele class with Americans, Spaniards, and Hawaiians, which was an unexpected experience. It was also fun to see a white girl enjoying hula dance with sparkling eyes.
たまたま鯨が見れるシーズンだったのでツワーに申込ました。また、鯨が見れなくても海上からワイキキが見れれば、それだけでも良いと軽い気持ちで申込ました。
結果として、すごく良かったです。
1.シロナガス鯨を何度も見ることが出来ました。
2.マジックショー等で食べた食事より数段美味しい料理 で、鯨が現れても食事をしながら食堂から見てました。
3.1時間もすれば船酔いする妻ですが、エンジンの振動も 感じられず、揺れの少なさにもびっくりです。
4.ワイキキを一望する方法としてダイヤモンドヘッドもい いですが、海上からだとダウンタウンまで一望できまし た。
5.アメリカ人、スペイン人、ハワイアンの人達と初めての ウクレレ教室を体験し、予定外の体験をすることができま した。白人の女の子が目を輝かせながらフラダンスに興じ ているのを見るのも楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for your many comments. We are very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time. The humpback whale visits the waters around Hawaii, but it's amazing that the blue whale also appeared. You must have had great weather and an enjoyable cruising experience.

The main benefit in this tour was to have someone else stand in line and get the tickets and drive around. The Arizona memorial and Missouri tours are handled basically self tours. My favorite portion was the oral history as told by our guide, Cousin Jerry. This was too short. I wish I had heard more from him.

We thought we could hike to the waterfall and then go snorkeling. From what I had read that would be a possibility. Both were morning options. He parked centrally then we walked to meet him. For the price I should not have expected to be taken to each destination I suppose, but I did. Still we had a good time and swimming in the waterfall was GREAT

This was a great experience we got to see the USS Missouri, The Pacific Aviation Museum, The USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Bowfin. Our driver Francis was very nice and took very good care of us. This would be a long day for children under the age of about ten, other than that it would be a great experience for anyone who is interested in Pearl Harbor as well as other interesting aspects of the US military.
