Oahu
Crew was super friendly and nice. Really enjoyed it!
We had a great time. It is a great boat. The staff is wonderful. Don’t even hesitate to book this wonderful cruise! It was our favorite evening of our whole Hawaiian vacation.
Highly recommend this BYOB cocktail sail! Even though the weather wasn't super ideal, the boat crew still made us comfortable and catered to our needs. That included giving us cups for the alcohol we brought or providing ideal camera ops. It is a very low key activity, but what originally drew me to it was the BYOB option. Only two other couples and one small group of girls were present, so COVID rules were adequately followed. The boat is also big enough in that we were spaced out well. The things that really stood out for me from this experience was the animal spotting (saw a turtle and whale) and the crew's excellent attitudes. They made us feel right at home on the boat. Thank you for the good times!
Beautiful boat, fun crew, and a nice sail. It was neat to see whales in real life.
My girlfriend and I just recently attended the luau on Valentine’s Day. We were welcomed in and sent straight to our table which was set up very nicely. The show was absolutely amazing even though I feel it was a little short. It started raining pretty heavily and although we appreciated the ponchos it does seem that tents should have been built to avoid what the forecast predicted. This made it really difficult for us to enjoy our food because everything was soaked. All in all the food was decent. We did however have to wait 15 to 20 minutes for someone to notice our on the table signifier for a waitress or bartender to serve us. Fortunately it did work out in our favor as by the time our food and drinks arrived the rain had settled. The chief was extremely funny and we have an experience that we plan to take back to the mainland and talk about for years to come. If you do happen to go to the luau make sure you check the weather because I guarantee you would enjoy it more with clear skies. To the event, I was strongly suggest that pop-up tents are invested in so that customers can truly enjoy the night as expected regardless of the weather.
So, we NEVER post reviews.....but this one we had too. We went on Thursday, Feb 11th, 2021 at 5pm.
First off, we got caught in traffic and were running late. They made sure we got there. Once we set sail, the entire crew was unbelievable. The views and whale watching was incredible. But to be honest, the best part was the crew. They may seem young, but the skipper and her crew knew exactly what they were doing. They were entertaining and high energy, and brought the fun out of everyone. They made sure the drinks were available, and they were always professional. But at the same time, they brought that youthful energy to the deck and it made the night of sailing perfect. Cheers...
And whatever you do....do NOT leave the food that was there in containers to sit. It literally was one of the best teriyaki chicken dishes we have ever had. If the bug bosses are reading this....hang on to this crew.
Not only in Hawaii, but it also joyfully introduces the various types of dances found on the islands of Polynesia. It was amazing to see so many different kinds beyond just hula dance. (It might not be suitable for those who are only interested in hula dance?) The venue can be a bit difficult to find, so I recommend asking plenty of questions to those around you.
ハワイにとどまらず、ポリネシアの各島でどのようなダンスがされているか楽しく紹介をしてくれます。フラダンス以外に、こんなにたくさんの種類がみられるのすごかったです。（フラダンスのみでよい方にはちょっと不向きかも？）
会場が分かりにくいので回りのかたにたくさん質問することをお勧めします。

The whole trip was wonderful! We saw 2 sets of whales baby and mamma! The staff was so nice and professional ❤️
This is a great cruise. The boat was spotless and the Captain and crew were awesome. They were very interactive and made sure they took care of us in the drink and snack area. They were very knowledgeable and fun to interact with. We were able to see quite a few whales which was so fun. Booking was easy as well as check in.
The crew was super fun and really paid attention to everyone onboard. Everyone was included in all activities while on the sandbar. I would highly recommend this specific company. They provided SUP boards, snorkels, and lead us to see the sea turtles (they were HUGE)! One of the most fun activities we had while in Oahu.
Thank you very much for your comment. We are very glad to hear that you had a great time with us. We hope you will join our tour again. Mahalo! - Captain Bruce
This cruise was a very good time, the crew was very attentive and friendly, and it was a beautiful trip out on the water. Our cruise even had several whale sightings and even a one-in-a-lifetime view of the whales breaching close to the boat. 100% would do again!
Captain John and his crew provided us with an amazing time filled with beautiful views of Waikiki, Diamondhead and the sunset from the comfort of a catamaran. The crew was also helpful pointing out turtles, whales and other wildlife when they were present. The option to order food for the trip was helpful and the menu options were great! The crew made the trip enjoyable from beginning to end. This is a five-star experience!
I lived on Oahu, and have attended many of the popular, industrial, Luaus on the island. Due to Covid, most were closed, so we went with Waimea Valley Toa Luau. I can say it was by far the most intermate, and authentic luau I've ever been to. The "cheaper" tickets still have a great, elevated view. The members/staff/performers are all family and the demonstrations they have are authentic to their history. With the admission to Waimea valley included, you can easily make an entire day of exploring the valley and concluding with the Luau. It truly felt like a family cookout (which is the true spirit of a luau) and not an assembly line of people and mediocre food (as most other industrial luaus are). Homemade coco drink, and no less than 5 fire throwers at once, put Waimea Valley Toa Luau over the top for me. Also, not a coconut bra in sight...
Aloha and mahalo for your review! We are very glad to know you had a marvelous time at the luau! We hope to see you again ^_^
Amazing!!! 10/10 recommend! Staff was amazing, food was amazing-the overall experience was awesome! Will definitely do again. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Had an amazing night, saw dolphins! Wasn’t sure what to expect but definitely worth it, wonderful experience!
Went on the 1 1/2 hours sunset cruise with Captain Johnny and it was great. We enjoyed the trip and the sunset view was amazing. Tons of pictures and lots of fun. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommending this trip.
Great experience. It is worth the price. I've never been the ocean that far away from shore.
We’ve been on a couple cruises around Oahu and this has been the best by far! Excellent and friendly service. The crew went beyond themselves to make our experience perfect!
I celebrated my 30th birthday on 12/21. My bf and I had an amazing time. We brought a bottle of champagne and chips. Watched the sunset together. The captain and his crew were very friendly. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!
Loved every moment of it. It brought Christmas spirit back to my soul and let us experienced city mesmerizing lights. You can sing a long or listen Christmas songs. Driver was a great singer, enjoyed it!!!
The trolley crew were fantastic! They were very jolly and I appreciated that they sanitized the trolleys in between each ride. They also decorated the trolley with lights and Santa was on board as well. I was just disappointed at the fact that all the decorations at the Honolulu hale weren’t on display. Also, a lot of the downtown buildings that usually have decorations didn’t decorate this year. Hopefully next year will be much better because the ride was fun!
コロナ前ですが、クジラを遠くに見ながらジェットフォイル船でお酒を飲んで楽しかったです。60over二人を連れてても全然問題なかったです。また行けるといいなー。
This was a beautiful cruise with excellent customer service. Captain Johnny was the best. He called to help to provide directions and he made the trip a wonderful experience. He and his crew were great and the food was excellent. It was a wonderful evening that could not be matched. 5 star!!
Super fun experience! Very romantic even with a baby. I live on the island and want to do that again!
They accommodated my sudden reservation regarding Hawaii. The sandbar had amazing transparency. The BBQ hamburger I had for lunch was freshly made and very delicious. The boat was also clean and comfortable. It was a wonderful experience.
ハワイについてからの急な予約に対応してくださいました。
サンドバーは透明度がすごく最高でした。
ランチでいただいたBBQハンバーガーはできたてで、とてもおいしかったです。
船もきれいで快適でした。
素敵な体験ができました。

I have visited many times. It's a favorite spot for kids, but adults can enjoy it too. I saw on Instagram that a singer known as the "Diva of America" visited with her family (though it was probably a private event), so I think it's definitely a place for families with children. I recommend bringing a jacket because the air conditioning on the bus is quite strong.
何度も訪れています。子供たちのお気に入りスポットですが、大人も楽しめます。アメリカのディーバと呼ばれる歌手も家族で訪れて楽しんでいる（貸し切りでしょうが）のをインスタで見たので子供がいるファミリーには間違いない場所なんだと思いました。
行き帰りのバスの空調がきいているので上着は持っていった方がいいと思います。

It was far away, but I somehow saw a whale (^_^;) While I can't expect much from the meal, it's nice that the ship itself is large and spacious. Since it's nature, you can't always expect things to go as planned, but if you're lucky, you might see some jumps. Please join with an open heart.
遠くですが、なんとなく(^_^;)クジラさんが見えました。お食事は期待できませんが船自体が大きくてゆったりできるのは良いですね。自然の事なので常に期待通りとはいきませんが、運が良ければジャンプとか見られるそうです。広い心で参加して下さいね。

I really enjoyed the buffet before the show! The hula dance during the buffet was entertaining and got me excited before the show even started. I was also allowed to take photos during the show, and I was able to take pictures with the performers at the end, which made for great memories. It was amazing!
ショーの前のビュッフェもとても楽しめました！
ビュッフェ中にフラダンスで楽しませて下さって、ショーが始まる前からワクワクできました。
ショー中も写真を撮っていいとのことと、最後に出演されていた方と写真も撮れていい思い出になりました。最高でした！

The weather was nice and it felt very pleasant. I was able to see it a few times, but I had imagined there would be many more up close, so it was quite far away and a bit disappointing. I thought it might be dangerous to get too close, but it was too far to feel the impact. I think it's good to go with the mindset of just wanting to see a little bit! I wasn't able to see the appearance like in the image photos.
天気もよくてとても気持ちよかったです。
何度か見ることができましたが、もっと近くにたくさんいるのを想像していたので、かなり遠くて少し残念でした。おそらく近づきすぎたら危険だからかなと思いましたが、遠すぎて迫力はなかったです。少しでも見れたらいいな、という気持ちで行くといいと思います！イメージ写真のような姿は見れませんでした。

It was an incredible downpour. Before going, I looked at many pictures of Heaven's Beach and thought that since the water was about knee-high, I could enjoy it even though I'm not a good swimmer, so I made a reservation. However, due to the heavy rain, the water level was high, and at 155 cm, I was barely able to stand on my tiptoes.
The waves were rough and murky, which was scary, so only my husband went snorkeling while I waited. I was able to enjoy paddleboarding with others who were waiting, but I had imagined a calm, clear sea with turtles swimming nearby, so I was quite disappointed.
The lunch was delicious, and the crew on the boat were nice people, but the sea in February was freezing cold, and everyone else seemed eager to go back. It was at a level that could be laughed about, so I hope to have a revenge trip someday.
ものすごい大雨でした。行く前に天国の海の写真をたくさん見て、高さも膝上ぐらいで泳ぎが苦手でも楽しめそうだと思って予約しました。大雨のせいで水位が高く、私は155㎝ですが爪先立ちしてあごギリギリでした。
波も荒く濁っていて怖かったので、主人だけシュノーケリングに行き私は待っていました。
待っている人でサップ等をして楽しめましたが、膝丈の穏やかな透き通った海で亀が近くに泳いでいるのをイメージしていたので、かなり残念でした。
ランチは美味しくて船の方々もいい人でしたが、2月の海の雨は震えるほど寒く、他の方もみんな早く帰りたそうでした。笑い話になるぐらいのレベルだったので、またいつかリベンジしたいと思います。

This was the highlight of my first trip to Oahu so I definitely recommend this activity to any tourist for all ages. There is so much to see that you definitely cannot watch all the shows and activities all in one day so definitely suggest getting there early. This is a great way to learn the different cultures - dance, traditions, food, etc. Highly suggest you wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot.
