All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

Our travel agent suggested this tour as a great way to see Pearl Harbor and downtown Honolulu, and she was right on the money! Our guides were friendly and very informative sharing lots of detail, Pearl Harbor was moving and very special, and the USS Missouri was impressive. This is a great tour, though you spend a lot of time on the shuttle while going through Honolulu

I participated in the morning cruise, but I didn't see any whales. I immediately used the re-participation ticket I received and joined the afternoon cruise, where I was thrilled to see whales. I think that in terms of season, March to April might be better for seeing young whales as they are growing and easier to spot.

午前のクルーズに参加しましたが、クジラは見えず。
頂いた再参加の券を直ちに利用して、昼のクルーズに参加したところ、クジラを見る事ができ感激しました。
季節的には、３-４月の方が、子供のクジラが成長していて見やすいのではないでしょうか～

I participated in the afternoon session on January 15 (Saturday). The weather was not just sunny, but perfectly clear. The sunlight was so strong that it was quite hot, so even when I got into the water, it wasn't too cold. There were many participants, over 40? It was fully booked. We saw a lot of green sea turtles, and the sandbar was just exposed due to the low tide. The tour staff mentioned it was the first time they had seen such a low tide. The staff's service was good, and I was particularly impressed by a lively woman in her thirties. She had a nice figure and even wore a belly button ring. Although she was married... They also took commemorative photos for us, and the snorkeling allowed us to see plenty of fish. The BBQ lunch afterward was very delicious, especially the chicken. My wife was also very pleased. The commemorative photos were $10, but I don't think that's expensive. Some participants even had video recordings. Even in January, if the weather is good, it’s not cold. I would like to participate again. Newlyweds, mature couples, families, and groups can all enjoy this experience. I think there are many repeat visitors as well.

1月15日（土）PMの部に参加させてもらいました。
天気は晴れじゃなく快晴。とても日差しが強く暑いぐらいでしたので、水の中に入ってもそう寒くはなかったです。
参加者は多く、40人以上？満席状態でした。
アオウミガメもたくさん見れましたし、サンドバーは、丁度引き潮の時間帯だったので砂が海面から出てきたところでした。ツアースタッフ5名もこんなに引いたのは初めて見たと言ってました。スタッフの対応も良く、三十路のお姉さん？がとても元気だったのが印象に残りました。へそピーなんか付けちゃって、なかなかスタイルも良かったです。既婚ですが・・。記念撮影もしてくれましたし、シュノーケリングも魚が良く見れたし、その後のBBQランチもとても美味しかったです。チキンが良かった。うちのかみさんも大変喜んでくれました。記念写真は＄10ですが高いとは思いません。中には、ビデオ撮影の方もいらっしゃいました。
1月でも天候に恵まれれば寒くないです。
また参加したいと思っています。
新婚さんから熟年カップル、ファミリー、グループ、皆さん楽しめます。リピーターも多いのではないでしょうか？

The tour to Pearl Harbour and the US Arizona was very interesting and educational. We are not Americans and were impressed at the objectivity apparent in the various museums and displays. The Arizona Memorial is moving, all the more so as it is still leaking oil and we are forced to remember that it is something real, not a recreation or imagined scene.
Our guide, Frank, was personable and full of stories and information. He was fun!

Our travel agent suggested this tour and she did a great job! The boat is wonderful as was the staff. We had a delicious breakfast and did see whales surfacing and diving, which was very unique and special to us. Thanks agian!

Last year, I participated for the first time, and my entire family was moved, so even though the members were different this year, it was still an emotional experience. Above all, having dinner while watching the sunset and the show afterward gave everyone goosebumps and filled us with satisfaction. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend participating. I'm sure it will be a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

昨年初めて参加させてもらい家族全員が感動したため今年もメンバーは違ったのですがやはり感動でした。何よりもサンセットを観ながらの食事、其のあとのショーは全員が鳥肌ものの感動をもらい満足感でいっぱいでした。
機会があれば、是非参加されることをお勧めします。きっとハワイの思い出には最高だと思います。

I have booked all my Pearl Harbor Tours over the years with Hawaii Activities and have always had a great day. This was a new tour being offered and I thought that it would be the perfect tour that would allow me to visit four major WWII sites in one full comprehensive day. It met all of my expectations and then some. The actual tour was very informative and moving. Our driver/guide, Francis, did a fantastic job during a day filled with problems. First, the bus was running late with all the different pick-ups and it didn’t reach my hotel until a half-hour after my scheduled pick-up time. Then we had to meet another bus and transfer all those people to our bus. This made us later yet and put us right in the middle of the slow moving rush hour morning traffic. When we finally got to the Arizona Memorial we were running behind. Then when it was our turn to finally enter the movie room, the electricity went out in the entire Visitor Center. We had to skip the movie and head right

I participated with my mother, and this was my graduation trip to Hawaii. Among all the activities, this snorkeling tour was my main goal. I had read experiences from those who participated before, so I joined with high expectations, and it did not disappoint—every moment turned out to be the best day ever!

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and while snorkeling, I swam among small fish that were deeper than my feet could reach. This feeling is something you can only truly understand by experiencing it with your own body and eyes.

I'm not a strong swimmer, so I was a bit scared about snorkeling in deep water, but wearing a life jacket ensured I wouldn't sink, and everyone was close by, which made me feel safe. There were also a few people who just walked on the sandbar and observed the snorkeling from the boat.

I joined in the afternoon, and I was worried about getting hungry since lunch was after the sandbar and snorkeling. However, before we departed from the harbor, we were able to enjoy Leonard's malasadas and drinks, which was great.

The crew members were all wonderful people, and they made the experience enjoyable. The buffet-style lunch was also incredibly delicious! If I ever come back to Hawaii, I would definitely want to join this tour again!☆

母と娘の親子で参加しました。
私の大学卒業旅行で来たハワイ、中でもこのシュノーケリングツアーは一番の目的でもありました。事前に参加された方々の体験談も読んでいたので、相当な期待感を持っての参加でしたが、その期待を裏切ることなくどこをとっても最高の一日となりました！
美しすぎるサンドバーに、シュノーケリングでは自分の足のさらに奥深くを泳ぐ小魚。この感動はやはり自分の体と目で感じないとわからないと思います。
泳ぎが得意でない私は、足のつかないところでのシュノーケリングということで少し怖かったのですが、ライフジャケットを着るので絶対沈みませんし、みんな近くにいるので安心です。サンドバーだけ歩いて、シュノーケリングは船の上で見学されている方も何人かいらっしゃいました。
お昼からの参加でしたが、昼食はサンドバーとシュノーケリングが終わってからということで、お腹がすくかな？と心配だったのですが、港を出発する前にレナーズのマラサダと飲み物をいただけたのでよかったです。
クルーの皆さんもみんな良い人達で、楽しませていただきましたし、バイキング形式のランチもすごくおいしかったです！またハワイに来ることがあれば、是非参加したいツアーです☆

I participated in a whale watching cruise on the large cruise ship Star of Honolulu, with about 200 people on board, including around 20 Japanese passengers.

I thought it would be a group activity with Japanese staff, but there were no Japanese staff on board. The staff explanation about the activities in the cabin before departure was only in English. After departure, we went out on deck to wait for the humpback whales while enjoying the view of the sea and Waikiki. During this time, a recorded explanation about whale ecology was played over the speakers, alternating between English and Japanese. It was mentioned that there were staff who understood Japanese on board, but they advised to ask questions individually.

The whale sighting rate is said to be over 90%, but if you happen to be in a direction where whales are not appearing or if the timing doesn't work out, you can self-report if you didn't see any whales, and they will issue a certificate allowing you to board again for free during the season.

I heard that whales appeared about twice during the trip, but I thought they were too far away to see, so I got the certificate. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always smiling.

大型客船スターオブホノルルを利用したホエールウォッチングクルーズで、２００人程度が乗船、日本人は２０人程度でした。

日本語スタッフと一緒のグループアクティビティと思っていたのですが、日本人スタッフは乗船せず、出航前のキャビン内でのアクティビティについてのスタッフ説明は英語のみです。出航後は、甲板に出て海やワイキキを眺めながらザトウの出現を待ちます。その際に鯨の生態についての録音説明がスピーカーから流れ、これが英語と日本語の交互説明というもの。日本語がわかるスタッフも乗船しているとのことですが、そちらは個別に質問してください、ということでした。

鯨出現率は９０％以上、とのことですが、出現方角でないところにいたり、タイミングが合わなかったりと、個人的に見られなかった場合は、自己申告で、シーズン中に無料で再度乗船できる証明書を発行してもらえます。

今回２回ほど出現したそうですが、私にはあまりに遠くで見えないと思ったので、証明書をもらってきました。スタッフの方々は笑顔親切に気持ちよく対応していただけました。

I participated on August 25.

Overall, it was just okay.

I think the tour is affected by the weather! In my case, it was as follows:

- The weather was bad and cold, and the wind was strong.
- As a result, the water clarity was not great (when the sunlight came through, it was very beautiful).
- The sandbar was not formed (maybe because of the weather?).
→ There was a shallow area in the middle of the sea, but there were no parts shallow enough to see the ground.

After that, I went snorkeling in the deep sea outside the original sandbar area. There were many black fish, and due to the strong wind, the waves were high, so it wasn't that great. It might be tough for those who are not good at swimming!

The return boat was also cold. It's better to bring a towel. There was warm coffee and tea, which was helpful.

It could be a good tour on a nice day!

８月２５日に参加。

総じて、まあまあだった。

天候に左右されるツアーだと思う！
私の場合は以下のとおりだったので。

？天気が悪く寒かった、風も強かった
？そのため海の透明度もいまいち(太陽の光が差し込んだ時は非常にキレイ)
？サンドバーもできていなかった(天候のせい？)
　→海のど真ん中に浅瀬はあったが、地面が見える程浅い部分は無し。

その後、本来のサンドバー部分の外の深い海でシュノーケリングをした。
黒い魚が多く、風が強いため、波が高く、それほどでもなかった。泳ぎが苦手な人はきついかもしれない！

帰りのボートも寒かった。タオルをちゃんと持って行った方がよい。
あったかいコーヒー、紅茶はあり、それは助かった。

天気の良い日だと良いツアーかもしれない！

I have booked the “Polynesian Cultural Center – Full Day Ambassador Package” with Hawaii Activities many times. I have always found their voucher instructions to be concise and accurate. I particularly appreciate the fact that Hawaii Activities will leave a e-mail or hotel voicemail message for you reminding you of your upcoming activity and any necessary updated information.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a MUST SEE when visiting the Islands! It is an amazing full day of learning the culture of the people who established the Islands. Each Village that you will visit will provide you with a description of their creation and demonstrate their unique culture through dance, song, and demonstrations. The interesting thing about this day is that nearly every individual who is working at the Center is a full-time student at BYU of Hawaii which is located next door. The money raised from the admission fee to the Center funds the scholarship program of the University which su

I participated in mid-November.

The day before, I went to take sunset photos while confirming the meeting place, and since the catamaran had just returned, I assumed this was the right spot. However, when I arrived on the day, the catamaran was gone, and I panicked. I asked a nearby hotel staff, and they said it was "five hotels down." Since I was cutting it close to the meeting time, I dashed over, and just as I did, the catamaran was coming towards the beach from offshore. (Sweat, sweat, sweat)
≪Refer to the sign in the photo for the meeting place...≫

I misunderstood because the hotel was part of the same group.
(The meeting place is in front of Outrigger Reef on the Beach, but I ended up at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. Please be careful.) Looking back, the catamaran that returned was also a different boat.

At the reception, there was one staff member who understood some Japanese (they had a Japanese reference book), but the other staff seemed not to understand Japanese.

Once on board, there was an explanation of precautions, all in English (which is to be expected).

About five minutes in, my wife got seasick. (I recommend taking seasickness medication for those who are prone to it.)
When we reached the turtle habitat point, snorkeling and free diving began (you can dive about 10 meters).
We stayed there for about an hour.
We encountered over ten turtles, which was incredibly moving.

After that, we cruised around the bay and were able to see Diamond Head and the hotel cluster from the sea, which was also impressive.

Next time, I would like to take the sunset cruise and see the sunset from the boat.

１１月中旬に参加しました。

参加前日にサンセットの写真を撮りに行きながら集合場所の確認に行き丁度カタマランが帰って来たのでこの場所で良いと思い込み、当日を迎えてその場所に行くとカタマランが無く、焦ってしまい近くのホテルのスタッフに聞くと『５つ先のホテル』との事でした。
集合時間ギリギリだったのでダッシュして行くと沖合からカタマランがビーチに向かって来ました。（汗・汗・汗）
≪集合場所は、写真の看板を参考に・・・≫

ホテルが同じグループだったので勘違いしてしまいました。
（アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチ前が集合場所ですが、アウトリガー・ワイキキ・オン・ザ・ビーチ前に行ってしまいました。要注意して下さい。）
今、思うと帰って来たカタマランも違う船でした。

受付では、片言の日本語が解るスタッフ（日本語の参考書を持ってました。）が一人いましたが、その他のスタッフは日本語が解らない様子でした。

乗船してから注意事項等説明が有ります。すべて英語（当然ですよね。）

５分位で嫁さんは、船酔いでダウン。（船に弱い方は酔止め
の投薬をおすすめします。）
ホヌの生息ポインに着くとシュノーケリング・素潜り開始
（１０ｍ位潜れます。）
１時間位停泊していました。
１０匹以上のホヌに遭遇し大感動でした。

その後、湾内のクルージングしてくれ海上からダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテル群を見る事が出来てこれも感動です。


次回は、サンセットクルーズに乗船し船上からのサンセットを見てみたいです。

This was my first time participating. I had been interested in a similar boat tour that departs from Waikiki Beach, and since there was a promotional price, I decided to sign up. After actually participating, I felt that even at the regular price, the experience was quite satisfying.

After checking in at the waiting area, there was a bit of a wait, but the departure went as scheduled. Shortly after setting sail, I saw the spout of a whale, but it was hard to see clearly due to the distance and the boat rocking. Still, the cruise itself was pleasant and very satisfying. It might be a good idea to have a long-sleeved layer since it can get a bit chilly.

The drinks served during the cruise were all reasonably priced, and you pay for them when you disembark. The photos taken before departure were sold for ten dollars on the way back, and I bought one. I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii.

今回、初めて参加しました。以前、ワイキキビーチから同様の船が出ているのを見て気になっていたところ、キャンペーン価格だったので申し込みしてみました。実際に参加してみると通常料金でも充分満足できる内容だと思いました。
待合場所で受付してから少し待ち時間がありましたが、出発等は予定通りに進みました。
出港してから程なくして鯨の潮吹きが見えましたが、距離があるのと、船が揺れてはっきりとは見えませんでした。
それでも、本来のクルーズは気持ちよく充分満足できました。少し寒いので長袖の羽織る物があった方が良いかと思います。
出港中にサービスされるドリンク類はすべて安く、船を降りるときに支払うような形でした。
出港前に撮影される写真も帰り際１０ドルで販売しており、買ってきました。
また、渡ハの際は参加したいと思います。

GOOD

It was a large ship, so there was no rocking, and it was a comfortable cruise. At the point where we could see whales, I was nervously staring at the surface of the water when one of the crew shouted, "Whale!" When I looked in the direction he pointed, I saw two whales jumping and showing their tails as they dove. I was thrilled to see "real whales" for the first time.

大きな船だったので揺れもなく、快適なクルーズでした。
クジラの見えるポイントで、ドキドキしながら海面を凝視していたら、クルーの一人が、”ホエール！”と叫んで指差した方向をみると、２頭のクジラが、ジャンプし、潜る際に尾びれも見せてくれました。初めての”リアルクジラ”に感激しました。

I participated in a cruise that departed at 8:45 AM just a few days ago.

On our boat, there were relatively few Japanese people, and most of the participants were foreign families and groups of friends, but I felt very comfortable joining.

There were friendly foreign staff who spoke Japanese, and they helped with anything that was difficult to understand. The whale watching guide was provided in both English and Japanese.

Since it was a plan without meals, coffee and sandwiches were available for an additional charge of $3. Water and hot water were free.

The announcements for whale sightings indicated the direction in terms of clock positions, saying things like "There is a whale at 3 o'clock." When the announcement was made, everyone rushed to the deck to see.

We were only able to see whales twice, but we went quite far out, so the scenery was great and I was very satisfied.

I went to Aloha Tower on my own. While waiting for the bus at the Saratoga bus stop in Waikiki, the bus didn't come as expected. Just as I started to feel anxious, a female taxi driver passed by, and I was able to go from Waikiki for about $16 plus tip.

There is also a hotel pickup option, and after this tour ends, it returns to a hotel in Waikiki, so if you want to go somewhere else from Aloha Tower, I recommend going on your own.

I also easily found Pier 8.

Unfortunately, due to the weather, I couldn't see the beautiful sea like in the pictures or commercials, but the staff's service and the snorkeling experience were both wonderful☆

I got to see sea turtles and coral reefs, and the snacks on the boat were unexpectedly delicious, which made me very satisfied.

あいにくの天気で画像やCMのようなきれいな海を見ることは出来なかったのですが、スタッフの対応、シュノーケリング、どれもとてもすばらしかったです☆

ウミガメを見たり、さんご礁を見たり、舟の上での軽食も予想外にとてもおいしくて大満足です。

We only saw 2 whales while on this tour and this was at the very end of the 3 hour boat ride. It would have been so much more fun if we saw more, but I guess the tour guides cannot control that. The boat was great and the food was wonderful and the ride along the shoreline and out into the ocean was awesome/beautiful. The guides were very informative and provided interessing information.

Dont miss "HA-the Breath of Life"-this presentation is showing all the different costumes and dances of the 5 different tribes inside the Polynesian Culture Center-is a very nice introduction to their culture all concentrated in a 90 minute presentation. Staffs were kind and frendly. However, I would not recommend the buffet- food is not worth the price...

I was here a number of years ago. It is a great experience.
However, it has become much more commercialized!
The selling of drinks, trinkets, etc.way too much.
The dinners were fair.

There was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. I spent an hour sitting on the net at the front, feeling the waves. Snacks and drinks were free, but I hardly had any. However, it was a lot of fun. Just be careful about getting sunburned!

日本語ができる方もスタッフにいたので安心していられました。
前方の網の上（うまく説明できませんが）に座って、波を感じながら1時間過ごしました。
スナックや飲みものはフリーでしたが、ほとんどいただきませんでした。
でもとっても楽しかったです。
ただ、日焼けだけは気を付けてくださいね

My husband really enjoyed the trip. We actually did have some whale sightings, so our expectations were met. I got a little sea sick but the staff was more than helpful and I would definitely recommend this excursion to everyone:)

I participated in whale watching. Right from the start, I could see splashes of water in the distance. I thought it was a motorboat, but the foreigner next to me was pointing and saying something. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a whale's breath. Amazing!!

We soon got closer, and I could see the whale's back. Wow, we met one!! I was so moved. For a while, the boat stayed there. Eventually, it started heading towards Diamond Head. Just as we were about to turn back, a whale swam up from the opposite side. Two of them were gracefully swimming together, right next to the boat!! It was so touching!!! Then the boat made a U-turn and followed the whales for a while. I was so happy!!

However, time was running out, and we had to head back. I was really impressed! I'm so glad I participated!!!

ウォエールウォッチングに参加しました。
スタートからすぐに沖のほうから水しぶきが見えました。
モーターボートが走っていると思っていたら、隣の外人が指をさして何か言っています。よーく見ると、クジラのブレスでした。すごーい！！
すぐにちかくになり、クジラの背中がみえてきました。
すごーい、会えた！！大感激です。
しばらく、そこで船は待っててくれます。やがてダイヤモンドヘッドに向かって走り始めました。
そろそろ引き返したとき、クジラが反対側からおよいできました。２頭のつがいで優雅に泳いでゆきます。船のすぐ横を！！感動です！！！そしたら船はUターンして、しばらくクジラを追ってくれました。嬉しい！！
しかし、時間がなくなり戻ることとなりました。
とても感激しましたよ！
参加してよかったです！！！

This was my fourth time whale watching. I got hooked on my first participation when I saw a whale jump, and now I join whale watching every time I go to Hawaii. The last three times, I only saw the back or nothing at all, which was a bit disappointing, but seeing that jump is the best. Since they are wild animals, it can't be helped. This time, I went on an early cruise without a meal, but I was able to participate very cheaply thanks to booking online, so that was great.

今回で、４回目ほどのウォッチングでした。
はじめての参加で、クジラがジャンプする姿を見てはまってしまい、ハワイに行くたびにホエールウォッチングに参加しています。後３回は、見えなかったり、背だけとかで、寂しい思いをしますが、あのジャンプが見えたら最高です。自然の生き物ですから、仕方がないです。
今回は、早めのクルーズで、食事なしでしたが、インターネットでの申込みをしてからの旅行で、とても安く参加する事が出来たので、良かったです。

Everyone should experience this tour sometime during their life. The memorial is a tragic, yet holy and beautiful tribute to our fallen military who died so suddenly on Dec. 7, 1941.

The tour operator was very informative and treated everyone like family. The downtown tour was full of history and tidbits shared by our driver, "Cousin Jerry", a full blooded older Hawaiian gentleman.

Until the day before, the weather on Oahu was not looking good, and I was very anxious, but it turned sunny with the tour pickup.
I was worried about the temperature and water temperature since I had a 7-year-old child with me, but both were warmer than I expected, and I didn't feel particularly cold. For those who are concerned, I think a surf top would be sufficient.
The sandbar was a truly beautiful place. I felt that seeing it in person was worth more than hearing about it a hundred times. Additionally, snorkeling near the coral after visiting the sandbar was also a delightful experience.
I appreciated the captain's playful service as well.

前日まで、オアフ島の天候も思わしくなく非常に不安でしたが、ツアーのピックアップと共に晴天になりました。
　子ども（７歳）がいたので気温と水温が心配でしたが、思ったよりも気温、水温とも温かく特に寒いと感じることはありませんでした。心配な方は、サーフィン用のタッパーがあれば十分と思います。
　サンドバーは、とても素敵な場所でした。一見は百聞にしかずとはこのことと感じました。また、サンドバー見学に続いての珊瑚付近でのシュノーケルもまた一興でした。
　キャプテンの茶目っ気たっぷりのサービスもありがたかったです。

While I was moved by seeing the whale's blow and its back and tail for the first time, I didn't get to witness breaching or experience the true size of the whale. The timing in late December might not have been ideal. It might be better to go from late February after they give birth. If you're prone to seasickness, it's better to skip lunch. My wife ended up not eating anything. I think about 10-20% of the people couldn't eat. The buffet itself didn't have much in terms of food either.

初めて見たクジラのブロー（潮吹き）や、クジラの背中や尻尾には感動をしたものの、ブリーチング（ジャンプ）等は見られず、クジラの大きさを体感できるものではなかった。
１２月下旬という時期がいまいちだったかもしれないかな。子供を産んでからの２月下旬からがお勧めかも。。
船に弱い方は、ランチ無しにした方がいいですよ。うちの奥さんは結局何も食べられなかった。１~２割くらいの人が食事できていなかったのではないかなぁ。ブッフェ自体の料理もそうたいした物は無かったですよ。

Last year, the tour was in the morning, and this time it was in the afternoon. Although it was a different company's tour, there wasn't much difference in content. Perhaps because it was the same season, even though they advertised that the boat would dock in the most favorable position, I felt that the distance from the boat to the sandbar was quite far, and the water level was higher than last year. The lunch was quite good, and the malasadas were delicious. The staff worked hard to keep everyone excited and raised their energy levels, but personally, I would have preferred a quieter, more relaxed experience. The photos taken at the sandbar that were uploaded to the website were a bit embarrassing, but I was still happy about it.

昨年は午前中、今回は午後のツアー。前回とは違う会社のツアーで、殆ど内容の違いはなかったのですが、時期が同じというのもあるのでしょうが、一番優遇されている位置にボートが停泊するとうたっていた割には、ボートからサンドバーまでの距離が遠かったように思いましたし、昨年よりも水位が高かったです。ランチの内容はかなりGOODです。マラサダも美味しかったです。スタッフのみなさんは、みんなを盛り上げようと、かなりテンション上げて頑張っていましたが、私的には、もう少し静かに、ゆったりと過ごしたかったな--。サンドバーで順番に撮っていただいた写真がHPにアップされていたのは、少々恥ずかしいけど、やっぱり嬉しいです。

My husband and I spent our last night in Honolulu on the Star of Honolulu's Three Star Cruise and it is one of our fondest memories. The crew was great, the view incredible, and the food was top notch. Watching the sun set from the top of the Star of Honolulu was an incredible treat! Thank you and I cannot wait to go again!

This tour was fantastic and was the second time we had taken it. The first time was five years ago and we took it again this time with a friend. She thought we would be bored but not at all as we learned even more about the island. Our driver grew up on the island and was able to tell us stories going back generations. This tour is a must see for anyone visiting the island! Aloha!
