Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Horseback riding north shore

Reviewed by: Thi Vo

The tour guides are absolutely kind and they showed us how to ride a horse. We were so nervous because it was our first time. Definitely come check them out !! We stayed in Waikiki and it’s nice to go to the north shore where it’s less crowded and more peaceful.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides

Amazing crew but choppy water

Reviewed by: Amanda

This was hands down the best excursion/activity we did on both Maui and Oahu. The crew, especially Erin, were super helpful and great! We saw over a dozen sharks at one time. Only thing we wish we did differently was choosing an earlier tour time so that the water was less choppy and rough. Definitely bring an underwater camera.

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!

Great time but bring goggles!

Reviewed by: Ashley

We did the 2 hour ATV tour and it was amazing! Hayden was our guide, he was really friendly and very knowledgeable not just about movie sets but the island itself. We had a blast we just wish we had known to bring goggles from the dust. At times it was very challenging to drive safely from all the dust of the ATVs ahead of us. Other than that it was great! Would definitely do again in a heartbeat!

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!

I loved it!!

Reviewed by: Grisel

I was so excited for this tour especially for my 5 yrs old. For this I was so glad I didn’t go with a face full of make up or any nice clothes. You will be driving though the mountains in a single line probably behind another ATV. At the end I had dirt all over my clothes, my hair, and omg my face. I don’t mind I knew it was going to get dirty and my son loved it lol. What 5 yr old doesn’t like getting dirty right. We did stop a few times but we did drive pass some areas that I would liked to stop at. The views thought was so beautiful. Our tour guide was awesome Pj took the time to take pictures/videos and showed my son some cool flowers. Would highly recommend him. I’m definitely doing this again. Even if covid wasn’t happening right now I would still wear a mask or you’ll be spitting out dirt all the time. They do provided glasses also Im glad Pj pointed that out. Wish I would have book other tours but definitely going back again.

Reviewed by: Nicole L.

From beginning to end it was a blast! Tay our instructor gave us the best experience ever. She was super informative as well as went the extra mile to take great photos/videos and even gave us food options we should try out during our stay in Hawaii.

Over all it was a great time and now I can’t wait to visit Hawaii again just to come back to this ranch.

Tip for future travelers, spend the extra money for the 2hr excursion. It will be worth it!

Loved the unexpected pictures taken for us!

Reviewed by: Joy

We got there worrying about how we would take some nice pictures without the camera/phone getting drowned/dropped, but we were offered some photography services for $30, able to take the SD card the pictures were taken on home with us. We really loved how they turned out, being able to keep memorabilia of a really great first experience in Hawaii!

The guys running the boat were so great and fun, I would suggest it at least once!!

3-Hour West Coast Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise, Lunch, Drinks & Transportation

Nothing special.

Reviewed by: OKM

This excursion was okay at best. Though we were able to see dolphins, which was lovely, the snorkeling was blah. First the company took us south along the island, versus out into the ocean, and guided us snorkeling right by a power plant on the shoreline. There were some pretty fish, maybe 3-4 different species. The coral was not colorful; they informed us that is typical for Hawaii. Friends we have that live on the islands state there are beautiful coral reefs, you just need to know where to find them. Apparently, this company does not know where to find these reefs. The catamaran ride was just lovely, but that's it. Again, nothing special. The crew were fine when talking to us as a group but not one-on-one. Then they seemed guarded and annoyed. I would not recommend this excursion.

Star of Honolulu dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Matt Haynes

The cruise itself, staff and entire experience was wonderful and the views were breathtaking at sunset.
Service and dancers were outstanding and enjoyable to watch. Food was not all that great but otherwise a great time and worth the expense to experience it. I would definitely recommend to anyone to do this dinner cruise but do not have high expectations with the food.

Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

Must do!!!

Reviewed by: Denise

This was the most interesting excursion I’ve ever had. I saw 2 turtles which was the main reason I wanted to go. The sea life was so interesting, wasn’t what I had expected. I highly recommend doing this if you’re interested in ocean life. I saw a live star fish on the bottom and a mortar shell. The guides were also very interesting and funny.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Fun kayak tour, beautiful views, sea turtles and manta rays!

Reviewed by: Donna

My husband and I had a lot of fun kayaking! We loved the glass bottom kayak [we weren't able to see much underneath the kayak (water wasn't that clear on the day we went) but that's ok!]

We had an amazing tour guide, Dan, who is very knowledgeable about the island and left it to us of what we wanted to do & see / how far we wanted to paddle.

We were able to see sea turtles and also manta rays popping up from the water, which was cool because we never been so close to them before or seen them the times we've been to Hawaii. We really enjoyed kayaking in the river because it was easy to paddle, calm waters and a beautiful view.

Highly recommend and would do this again! Thank you Dan for the tour!

Reviewed by: Emily

It’s was an amazing experience to go ATV riding through the trails on the ranch, you pass so many famous movie sites and are allowed some time to take pictures at some of those famous sites! All of the staff and very nice and friendly, our tour guide was very helpful, she took pictures for you and even used props to make the photos and videos even more special. It was just an amazing experience all around the only suggestion I have is don’t wear white clothes but clothes can always be washed so it is still 100% worth it

Barely saw 1 turtle

Reviewed by: Alex

Boat was very nice, friendly staff, but we stopped at 1 site for a while and didn’t see any turtles, then when we got to the more popular spot there were already 4 more boats and we only got to see 1 turtle. The staff didn’t come in the water with us either to help spotting turtles. Other boats had at least 1 crew in the water to guide their group towards the right spot.
