Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Nappy RULES!!

Reviewed by: Dar from San Diego

Nappy, our bus driver and tour guide, made our tour fun, friendly and informative! He is a great storyteller and really takes an interest in his guests. All day tours in large busses are often long and grueling but he took the time to get to make sure that everyone was safe and was able to enjoy each stop to the fullest. My cousin, who is a local but has never played 'tourist', thought he was wonderful! She said that she never thought taking an island tour could be so much fun. Mahalo nui loa, Nappy! You are 'no ka oi' and we love you!

Waikiki Shuttle to Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & City Tour - Roberts Hawaii

A must for all visitors!

Reviewed by: BigDaddy

Please go and pay your respects! Tour bus picks you up and tells you how everything goes. We got right in when on some days you must wait an 1 or so. There's a short film before you are boated over to the memorial. It's awe inspiring.

Our drive was a cocky know it all rude person. Well, at least he thought he knew it all. He really sounded uneducated and told us things we did not need to hear. He also took about 12 cig breaks.

Overall great price and pretty good service.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Left Behind, But Great While Aboard

Reviewed by: Lorraine Geseron

The tour was wonderful and well-worth the money. A good overall view. Wonderful companions onboard. Our tour guide, Kanoelani, was very knowledgeable and even stopped at some extra places not on the itinerary. However, at the very last stop before our hotels, she said we had 15 minutes, and when I returned to the parking lot after 12 minutes, the van was pulling away without me!!!! I waved frantically and ran after it, but was not seen. I was stranded, and a woman travelling on my own, with my belongings still onboard. I was quite panicked and didn't know how to get back to town. The van did come back for me after about 10 minutes (she had to find a spot to turn around after another passenger reported me missing), but I was really scared by then. There was no apology from the tour guide, which I did expect, since she left early and did not do a head-count (only 10 on the van). I think the guides should make sure that everyone is there before leaving. It's not a difficult thin

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Great Cruise

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was our second time to Oahu and our second sunset cruise. The first time was with Navatek and that was a nice cruise but we felt that one was overcrowded (we upgraded our cruise on both trips). The cruise on the Star of Honolulu was much more expensive than our upgraded Navatek cruise so we were looking for a much improved experience.

The Star of Honolulu cruise was VERY personal as there were very few people who upgraded to the upper deck package. Matt and Captain Roy were extremely attentive and a pleasure to be around.

Unfortunately it was very overcast and the ocean choppy for our voyage but the dining experience was first class. The jazz show was phenomenal as well.

The coach ride felt like herding cattle, and at the price of our ticket I would expect a more personal form of transportation (I realize a personal car required an additional upgrade, but would have expected something more intimate than a full sized tour bus). There was little to no information given

Do at Beginning of Hawaii Visit

Reviewed by: J & F Nap

Great to do at the beginning of the Hawaii visit. It allows you to see bits of all of Oahu. If you go at the beginning, you'll be able to return to certain cites if you felt you didn't spend enough time there. I personally would have liked to spend more than 15 minutes at the Dole Plantation. Amazing to see how terrain changes on such a small area of land! Tour guide, Greg, was very amusing!

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Very enjoyable

Reviewed by: Stacie K

I would have to say that this tour was great from beginning to end! Pick up was prompt and the guide actually gets out and calls your name so you don't have to worry about not getting on the wrong tour. Our guide who goes by Misty but has the most beautiful Hawaiin name (of course I would massacre it if I tried to spell it) was a fantastic guide. She knew each one of our names within the first 10 minutes and didn't forget the whole day. I have never learned so much or had such a great time on a tour. We saw things that many people don't get to see and we even got to see 2 leatherback turtles and take pictures of them. For lunch we got to eat at Honey's which was very good so that was a nice view to look at while eating. All in all we could not find a fault except for the unexpected weather that made it hard to see the beautiful color of the ocean. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see the island!!!!

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Great Day on Ohau

Reviewed by: Orlando Resident

We had a wonderful day. Our tour host was wonderful. His knowledge of the islands and their history was very impressive. His attitude was so wonderful and layed back. We had a few delays because of others in our group and he kept the day pleasant. We would not have seen some of the highlights he showed us had we done a tour on our own. Because this was a smaller bus we were only about 20 people which made the tour more personal. I don't think we would have enjoyed it as much had we gone on one of those huge tour buses.
Thanks to Cowboy for a wonderful day.
Highly recommend this one.

Hawaii Premier Whale Watching Cruise (Star of Honolulu) ハワイ プレミア・ホエールウォッチング・クルーズ(スターオブ・ホノルル

Reviewed by: kazz

Before going, I was surprisingly indifferent, thinking I would only catch a glimpse. After boarding, as soon as we set sail, we saw what seemed to be a spout. Then, while enjoying a meal (which was decent) and Hawaiian music, there was an announcement that we could see something at the 9 o'clock position. From there, it was amazing—two whales performed for about 20 minutes. I was so moved! Thank you very much. I might say it was just luck that I got to see them, but I am very satisfied.

行く前は意外と冷めていましてどうせチラッと観える位だと想って乗船、出港してすぐ潮吹きらしいものが、その後なんとなく姿らしきものが、食事(まあまあ)しながらハワイアン気分の音楽など楽しみながら居ると9時方向に観えるとのアナウンス、それからがもう大変2頭のショーが約20分、
感激です!有難う御座いました、たまたま観れたと言えばそうなのかもしれませんが満足です。

The mother and baby whales were adorable. 親子鯨が可愛かったです。

Reviewed by: mauburu

Once again this year, I had a wonderful time. At first, I heard the conditions were perfect, but unfortunately, I couldn't encounter them! In the evening, I was able to enjoy a cruise off the coast of Honolulu on the famous "Star of Honolulu," which included warm coffee. However, since I had a re-boarding coupon, I decided to give it another try the day before my return! I'm glad I did.

Seeing the whales swimming happily together was truly moving. When the ship was about to leave after the promised 30 minutes, the whales came close to the ship as if to say goodbye.

There were also ukulele performances and cultural activities, but I completely forgot about those and just enjoyed the experience.

I definitely recommend participating. After disembarking, you can climb the adjacent "Aloha Tower" for free, where you can enjoy a stunning view. (There’s also an old-fashioned elevator!)

昨年に続き、今年も楽しませていただきました。
最初は、絶好の条件!とのことでしたが残念ながら
遭遇できず!夜はディナーで有名な「スターオブホノルル」号で、暖かいコーヒーが付いたホノルル沖のクルーズと割り切ってしまうことも出来ましたが、
再乗船のクーポンを頂いていましたので、帰国前日にチャレンジ!  最乗船して良かったです。
親子で、仲良く泳ぐ鯨の姿にもう感動でした。
30分とのお約束があって船がその場を離れようと
していると、別れを惜しむかのように船のすぐ
そばまで寄ってきてくれました。

ウクレレや例のカルチャもあるのですが、
そんなことには、すっかり忘れて楽しみました。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Unique Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was a unique experience for me because I have never been on any sort of cruise ship before. Although the waves were a little choppy, overall I had a great time. The food is great (one star), service is good, and the atmosphere is satisfying. Just a little advice for all the couples out there who want a special "one-on-one" type of evening, spend the extra money to get a table for two. If not, you may end up sharing a table with another couple. I lucked out and the couple that was supposed to show, didn't. This is also a type of outing that is geared more towards tourists. So this may not be so entertaining for many of the locals. It also does get a little chilly, so bring some sort of jacket (for the men), or a jacket/shawl (for women). Overall, I enjoyed the quality and experience this activity had to offer. I would definitely do it again sometime.

We were able to see the whales, but it was only in the second half of the trip. The child who was eagerly searching in the first half got bored and fell asleep along the way. However, it was great that we were able to see them. The child enjoyed the lei-making and hula dance lesson experience more than the whale watching.

Home of the Brave Pearl Harbor & Military Base Tour

A Day To Remember

Reviewed by: Joanne

We took the "Home Of The Brave" tour and it is a day that will live in infamy for us. If you are a history buff, you will think you have died and gone to heaven. We spent our time with Brandon (the world's greatest and most informed tour guide) as he took us through the events leading up to and and including the attack on Pearl Harbor and ending at Punchbowl National Cemetery. If you do no other tour when you are on Oahu, this is the one to do. Brandon provided unique insight into the historical events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Because of his enthusiasm, we have since started to do our own research into the whole history that is available and not just the bits and pieces that we have seen through movies.This is just a bit if the info that we have found.

This is an exceptional tour and the best bang for your buck-so to speak. Thank you Brandon and Hawaii Activities.

We would definitely recommend this cruise. The food was delicious. We saw many whales and one of them even jumped out of the water. It was amazing. There is a lot of space on the ship to spread out and see the whales from many perspectives (I think it holds over 1000 people). And the crew kept us entertained with Hula lessons, lea making, and ukulele lessons. We have a toddler and there was plenty to keep her entertained and happy as well.

Everyone who visits Honolulu needs to go Pearl Harbor. We learned so much about that moment in history...how it happened...why we weren't able to stop it. And it was very meaningful to remember the lives of those who were lost and all that they stood for. We had a toddler with us and it was a good experience for all of us.

I saw a whale. 鯨が見えた

Reviewed by: エイトマン

We participated as a family of five on New Year's Eve. We were blessed with clear weather, and it was a fun cruise. When the captain spotted a whale, there was an announcement, and while looking in that direction, we were able to see the whale's spout and back several times, and finally, we also saw its tail, which was great. The food was quite delicious as well. However, while the adults were fine, the children took motion sickness medication, but two out of three of them got seasick. In the latter part of the cruise, they served ginger juice, which helped a bit, but I think it would have been better if it had been offered a little earlier.

大晦日家族5人で参加しました。
晴天にも恵まれ楽しいクルーズでした。
キャプテンが鯨を発見すると場内アナウンスがあり、その方向を探していると鯨の潮吹きや背中が何回か見ることができ、最後に尻尾も見えよかったです。
食事も十分おいしかったです。
ただ大人は大丈夫でしたが、子供は酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが3人中2人は船酔いしてしまいました。クルーズの後半ジンジャージュースを出してくれ少しよくなりましたが、もう少し早く出してくれるともっと良かったと思います。

North shore was unbelievable, unlike anything I've ever experienced. On the second half of the tour, we rode paddle boards which was also a blast! It was quite an upper body workout and was inexpensive too. Justin was very knowledgeable about the history of HI and kept us entertained during the drive.
