The crew is lovely. Trip is laid-back, relaxing, and always so much fun! BYOB and sandwiches! Chips and soft drinks are provided. Paddle boards, floaties, snorkels, and other ocean toys are also provided. The trip is what you make it/want it to be! We always use Capt. Bruce when we want to go out. 10/10!

Absolutely incredible experience! Every crew member was friendly, knowledgeable, and joy to be around. We saw two large pods of dolphins (crew estimated each pod to be about 100 spotted dolphins) - it was awe inspiring to see these beautiful animals in their natural environment. After two separate snorkel tours for dolphins, we moved to shallower water for various activities - the crew members were so helpful and great with kids wanting to try everything! Splurge and purchase the professional photos! We highly recommend this tour to everyone and will definitely go again the next time we visit.
Aloha Jess, We are so happy that you enjoyed our Dolphin tour. Thank you so much for joining us and leaving such kind feedback. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!

The luau was on a beach so the views were incredible. The luau itself always had something to do during the 4 hours you were there. There were 600 people there and they had activities you can do until the show started such as taking pics with colorful parrots (costs extra), kayaking, and throwing arrows. The buffet was pre-portioned and consisted of fried fish, Pork, buns, poi, salad, rice, a cupcake, and ribs. It was very filling. The show was very comical and i highly recommend. I just wish the seating was a little closer since I was at the winged tables.

This place was absolutely amazing I saw sights that was breathtaking. After a long awaited 15 year wait this has been paradise to come to this ranch. Full of history and appreciation for the family of this ranch especially the current employees. Just amazing!!! I will return with family and friends so they to may enjoy the wonders of this ranch. A smile was put down deep in my soul because of the staff and atmosphere of this place. I will never forget this experience.

Family of 5 had a blast. Tour guides were awesome. Felt safe the entire time. We arrived to the sandbar to other guides with SUP, floaties and little floats for my 3 year old to snorkel which was a nice surprise. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Afterwards we enjoyed some Dole Whip at the pier.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us. Can get any better weather than this! Mahalo!

This luau was our first one but far superior to another one we did later in our trip. The food was great, the scenery gorgeous, and the performers were talented and entertaining. The MC Cousin Billy was truly funny and informative. We had a blast! The next day we did the hike to Waimea Falls and that was excellent as well. I could have floated in the waterfall all day. We spent part of each North Shore day at the Waimea Falls complex and I highly recommend it.
Aloha Michelle, and mahalo for your review! We are delighted to know you had a great time at the luau and we are so glad too that you were able to come back to Waimea Valley to tour the waterfalls and the botanical garden. Unfortunately, it's not something that everybody gets to do. I'm just so glad you made it. :-) Mahalo for your kind review really; it's something that we take joy from, knowing that what we have set out to do is meeting expectations, and we intend to keep it that way. We hope to see you again - come see us when you're back in the island. Until then, may God bless you and yours :-)

This luau is the best! We were staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and saw the luau they had from our room. Toa Luau is 100times better that that one! I especially appreciated the intimate and gorgeous setting! The activities they had engaged my 5 and 2 year olds… and had them attentive the whole night! The intimate setting and the care and pride they take in their heritage shows up in the way they do it all! It was personable, intimate, and the wittiest host, Cousin CeCe! I am beyond words for this beautiful experience! Mahalo!

We had a great time at this ranch doing 3 different tours; Jungle Tour, Plant Tour and a Movie Tour! During each of these tours we had great tour guides who taught us lots of cool things about Hawaiian culture and sites. We would definitely go back to Kualoa Ranch and do the other things we didn’t do this time. The Movie Tour showed us the sites for lots of different movies so now I want to go home and watch all of them again! Great fun!! And definitely something I would do again!

Moana sailing is a straight vibe along with their service to our preferred BYOB cruise. Entry was smooth with friendly staff to help with setting a great sail during golden hour near diamond head. I would not skip out experience additional whale watching alongside this blue coastal waters (if your lucky). Bring a pack of claws and your friends into one of the best water rides this side of the Pacific.

Looking at past reviews, there weren't many positive comments, but I had heard that due to the effects of global warming and the timing of low tides, the sandy beach might not appear recently, so I wasn't disappointed at all.
More importantly, the sea was incredibly beautiful, and my one-year-old child was thrilled! We even got to see sea turtles while snorkeling, which was so exciting! There were many guides who spoke Japanese, so I felt completely at ease. They were very kind, teaching us various things and supporting my child's beach experience. The photos taken in the midst of the mountains and the sea were absolutely wonderful. I definitely want to go again!
過去のレビューを見ると、あんまり良い事書いてなかったのですが、そもそも最近は温暖化影響や干潮タイミングで砂浜が現れないと聞いてたんで、全然がっかりしませんでした。
それよりもとてもキレイな海で1歳の子供も大喜びでした!またシュノーケリングではウミガメも見れて、大興奮でした!日本語ができるガイドさんがたくさんいるので、不安もなく、むしろいろいろと教えてくださったり、子供の海水浴をサポートしてくれたり、とても優しかったです!山々と海という大自然の中で撮った写真もとってもステキでした。絶対また行きたいです!

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
