Honolulu Volcanic Rainforest Guided Hiking Tour at Mt. Tantalus
Beautiful views!
Activity Date: 2021/08/16 | Posted on: 2022/01/17

We started at Tantalus for beautiful 360 views and photos. Then, we drove a bit farther to start the actual trail. Quite a bit of it was shaded and there was a lot of incline at the beginning. The hiking guide was amazing and really knowledgable about the area. I felt like I learned so much about the different plants and trees plus the historical significance of some of them. Would recommend for the hiking aficionado!

Oahu Photography Tours - Instagram Hawaii Photo Shoot
For the #gram
Activity Date: 2021/08/03 | Posted on: 2022/01/17

This tour took us to some picturesque areas on the East side of the island. Definitely an #instagram worth tour. Gorgeous scenery! Great if you want to see some of Oahu but don't want to spend a full 8-10 hours on a regular full circle island tour. We ended at Kakaako to take photos of the street murals. We opted to stay in Kakaako (only 3 miles from Waikiki) for lunch & catch our own ride back. Would recommend!

Oahu Waterfall Hiking Tour with Expert Guide - Manoa Valley & Koolau Trails
Great beginner's hike
Activity Date: 2021/07/30 | Posted on: 2022/01/17

Well-maintained trail that was mostly gravel. I'd recommend athletic shoes but you won't need hiking spikes. I wore regular running shoes. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot more about the Manoa Valley.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music
Crab, crab, and MORE crab!
Activity Date: 2021/08/23 | Posted on: 2022/01/17

If you love all-you-can-eat crab lets, then THIS is the menu for you. We ate stacks on stacks of crabs. But, if you aren't - you can substitute the crab for chicken, fish, or a vegan option. The crabs were perfect with butter! Good entertainment and beautiful city skyline.

Pearl Harbor Battleship Missouri General Admission Tickets & Guided Tours
Great historical experience!
Activity Date: 2022/01/15 | Posted on: 2022/01/17

We took our two boys, ages 6 & 8 and it was a perfect historical experience. Captivating, educational, great length and easy tour for young children. Highly recommend! I was worried about a longer tour that would lose the kids interest, but this did not disappoint. Both my boys loved the experience.

Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour - East Oahu, Pali Lookout, Haleiwa & Dole
Wonderful tour to appreciate Hawaiian history and delicacies! Great for newcomers and locals alike :)
Activity Date: 2022/01/14 | Posted on: 2022/01/17

Overall, this is the best tour for anyone wanting to see the major highlights of Oahu with wonderful opportunities to enjoy Hawaii's culinary delights. Our family has been to Oahu at least 4 times, so we thought we had seen it all, but this tour really allowed us to appreciate the beautiful island of Oahu even more. Our local tour guide, Tony, was very kind, informative and funny and really treated us like "ohana." He definitely made the tour memorable. He shared a lot of great recommendations! We loved the subtle but impactful hospitality touches of the tour, such as the free water bottle and malasada.

What we really loved about the tour was having a variety of stops that allowed you to appreciate the surrounding nature, history and food of Hawaii. There is something for everyone!

For the ocean lovers, make sure to sit on the passenger hand side of the bus because you will have ocean views throughout the journey. The stops at Hanauma Bay and the Pali really help you appreciate the lush surroundings.

For foodies, not only do you get a taste of the poi malasadas from Kamehameha Bakery during your journey, but you get to visit: 1) Tropical Farms where you can taste and purchase locally grown macadamia nuts, coffee and other island delights. Our favorite flavors of the macadamia nuts were the cinnamon glazed and maui onion. 2) Haleiwa town where you can enjoy the delicious garlic shrimp. We went to Camaron Shrimp Truck which serves theirs peeled with rice, salad and a slice of fresh pineapple. I really loved the coconut shrimp which comes with a side of the garlic sauce. The shrimp was crispy and scrumptious! 3) Dole Plantation where you can try their world famous Dole Whip! We got a cup of Dole whip with fresh pineapple topping each bec it's too good to share. Make sure to line up when you arrive because it gets busy!

For newbies, this tour is a great way to see it all in one day.

This tour is highly recommended!

We loved the Dole plantation and the Hale'iwa town, all the locals are very friendly.

Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour - East Oahu, Pali Lookout, Haleiwa & Dole
Amazing tour!!!
Activity Date: 2022/01/07 | Posted on: 2022/01/10

My three teenagers and I had a great time visiting all of the places that Hawaii has to offer. Besides all the pretty places we loved learning about the history of Hawaii, our bus driver was very nice and very knowledgeable. My favorite part was definitely the breathtaken views everywhere.
I would recommend to other people doing the tour, to have good night sleep the night before, so you dont fall asleep and miss part of the fantastic ride around the Island.
The tour does have a bunch of stops and the driver will give you enough time on each one of them.

Mahalo!!

Kualoa Ranch Full Day Tour with Hollywood Movie Sites, Jungle Expedition, Farm Tour & Lunch
Kualoa Ranch Experience
Activity Date: 2021/12/16 | Posted on: 2022/01/08

Great tours, did three tours, the Jungle experience, movie tour and Farm tour. Everything was well organized including the included lunch. The bus picked us up at the hotel right on time and drooped us off back at the hotel. All the guides were very informative and allowed ample time to see all the sights that had stops.
Would highly recommend Veltra as we did 2 different tour with them during our visit including the Island circle tour

Budget-Friendly Pearl Harbor Shuttle with Reserved USS Arizona Memorial Tickets & Transportation
Paid boat ride is non-refundable!?
Activity Date: 2021/12/19 | Posted on: 2022/01/08

Paid boat ride is non-refundable when dock is damaged. This policy should be modified to go right by the customer and website need to stop bookings. I could just easily drove there with my rental car and just check out the sites. The money I spent for the boat could have been used to pay for the submarine tour!

Aloha J & M Family,

Yes, unfortunately the dock was temporarily closed. The National Park Service does not provide us with refunds as the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center has so much to offer with its monuments, exhibits, attack film and museums. You are also able to pay your respects to the fallen from the dockside, which is always open.
We regret that you did not feel the tour guide's knowledgeable narration to/from Waikiki and Pearl Harbor, nor the hassle of driving/parking was worth it. Please accept our apologies and thank you for your valuable feedback. We hope your overall stay in Hawaii was a safe and enjoyable one. Stay well.

Very happy with the entire experience. Ryan was awesome to have as a guide. Would definitely do it again. Hike was super fun and informative, and the river crossings and swimming hole at the end of the first half was great. Nothing but great things to say!. Thanks Ryan for the awesome day and super chill time today. Can't wait until the camping experience is up and running so I can take another trip out here and sign right up!

Lasted way longer than we were told. People were lined up to get off an hour before we docked. The meal was tasty but not filling. The entertainment was great and the dancers were absolutely amazing.

Waikiki New Years Eve Fireworks Dinner Cruise on the Star of Honolulu with Champagne & Entertainment
Star of Honolulu New Year’s Eve Cruise
Activity Date: 2021/12/31 | Posted on: 2022/01/02

A great location to view the Waikiki fireworks at midnight to ring in the New Year. However, do not attempt if you get sea sick easily, no matter how many Dramamine you take! 3/4 of the guests got sea sick last night. Rough waters = sea sick.
The food and dessert was great. We had a nice size steak, and a nice lobster. Dessert was good too.
The hula show was nice. There was a nice singer and a sax player too.
The lady who played the ukulele was nice, but could have played more. There were times w no music at all.
I recommend this, but not with bad weather. We took a chance because we booked this trip for New Year’s Eve, but will not do it again if rough waters are out n about.

Fantastic Tour!
Activity Date: 2021/12/29 | Posted on: 2022/01/01

I have the privilege of doing lots of different activities due to my job and the this tour tops them all! Doing an eBike tour is a must for me in the cities I visit. Doing a mountain eBike tour in a movie set location with ocean and mountain views puts it over the top. Our guide, PJ, was very knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. He was able to answer the questions we threw at him and even got our sense of humor. This is a must for anyone visiting Oahu.

ワイキキトロリー ワイキキ巡回トロリーまたはミニバス 乗り放題1・4日間券(アラモアナ、ダイアモンドヘッド、カカアコ、東海岸など)
Friendly and convenient, but as of December, only 3 lines are available.
フレンドリーで便利、でも12月現在使えるのは3ラインのみ
Activity Date: 2021/12/25 | Posted on: 2021/12/26

There are Red, Green, Pink, Blue, and Purple options, but due to the year-end or perhaps the impact of COVID-19, currently only Red, Pink, and Blue are available. It's a strange conversion method where instead of being valid for four consecutive days from ticket exchange, you can use four days within a one-week period. The three lines mentioned above can take you to classic tourist spots and shopping centers, so I think it's great for first-time visitors to Hawaii. The vehicle is always ventilated with the windows open, and both the driver and ticket staff were friendly and nice.

レッド・グリーン・ピンク・ブルー・パープルとありますが、年末のせいかコロナの影響か、現在使えるのはレッドとピンクとブルーのみです。不思議な換算方法で、チケット引き換えから連続4日間ではなく、1週間の期限の中で4日分使えるというシステムとのこと。上記3ラインはオーソドックスな観光地やショッピングセンターは回れるので、初ハワイの方には良いかと思います。車内は常に窓を開けて換気対策をしていますし、運転手の方やチケット担当の方はみなフレンドリーで良かったです。

Dear Maimu,

Thank you very much for using the Waikiki Trolley. Currently, due to the impact of the coronavirus, we are operating only three lines, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our customers. We hope to restore the other lines as the situation in Hawaii changes. We look forward to your next visit.

まいむ様

この度はワイキキトロリー をご利用頂き誠にありがとうございました。
現在はコロナウイルスの影響により3ラインのみの運行となっておりましてお客様方には大変ご迷惑をおかけしております。
今後、ハワイの状況が変わり次第他のラインも復活させていきたいと思っております。
またのご利用をお待ちしております。

Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations
Kualoa Ranch Movie Tour was a great value and experience (Tour Guide Haydn)
Activity Date: 2021/12/22 | Posted on: 2021/12/24

The experience was more than worth the price paid for admission. If you’re loaded and wealthy with a family of five, then yeah spend on the ATV experience. But this 90 minute bus tour was well worth the money. Our tour guide, Haydn, was awesome! We’ve been on a number of guided tours in Hawaii and Haydn is energetic, funny and knowledgable. He even offers to take great family photos or individual pictures, too! I don’t know of any tour guides that will do that. I own an RV, so driving around and talking would be difficult, especially at this ranch. Haydn does a great job navigating turns and difficult terrain. He manages to do this while cracking jokes and recalling detailed information and trivia. This tour stops and allows passengers to get out and take great pictures. You still have access to look around the grounds including the ranch history exhibit, horses, and gift shop. This tour is highly recommended.

We learned so much about the island and the TV show.

We had a nice group.

Sean paid a lot of attention to safe Covid rules like a small group, vaccination record, face masks and temperature check. We really appreciated it.

The highlight was the McGarrett House with Shawn Garnett. Although he had not been fully recovered from a hospital stay he had spent time with us. Awesome guy <3
