Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Entertaining

I would have given Chief’s Luau a Great, because the entertainment was the best. Thee food ok. How ever I took our two boys 15 and 16. Paid adult prices. Was told by Veltra, that they could have a virgin Mai tai or coke, sprite, etc.. however they would not give the guys drinks unless I paid extra for them.

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

Highly Recommend!

Reviewed by: Chelsea

This is an amazing way to spend a couple hours. The views are great, it’s fun to drive the ATV, and the tour guides are super nice! It’s an excellent way to see the area. The ATVs have good suspension, so while you are bouncing around, it doesn’t hurt. I would love to do it again!

Waikiki Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

It was okay, the crew was great.

Reviewed by: Baker

The only reason I gave an okay was because we ordered breakfast to have on the boat. Some how the company did not order the meals. We were told we would receive a refund. We have not received the refund yet but that also falls on me because I have not followed up. Our snorkeling date was March 16, I am writing this April 10th.

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch

So much FUN! Worth every penny!

Reviewed by: HAPPY IN HAWAII!!

First, the crew was amazing! They were so helpful and made sure we were well equipped to enjoy every minute we were on this adventure. I was so excited to see the dolphins- I started hyperventilating a little as I was swimming toward the cree member that was finding the dolphin pods for our group. I didn’t want to cause a fuss or embarrass myself - so I just tried to calm myself and was promptly helped by another crew member who saw me and helped me to relax and calm my breathing so I could continue swimming. After watching the dolphins for several minutes under the water- they started showing off for us and jumping out of the water. It was thrilling. We stayed in the water for 20-30 min it seemed and I was amazed by the beauty of it all. Then we all returned to the boat - and we’re offered snacks and water and we traveled to a reef where we got back into the water and saw many fish and a sea turtle and snorkeled around looking at all the sea life as the captain anchored the boat and crew members inflated a large slide on the boat. The photographers were very attentive- and if you paid for a photo package- they made sure they took every picture possible of you. I’m 51 and I had a blast on the slide along with my daughter who is 19. Finally, when it was time to go- we were offered food again as the crew entertained us with dancing and music all the way back to shore. We returned to our hotel by 1pm (6 hours after the start) WORTH EVERY PENNY!! We crashed the rest of the day having had so much fun! THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!

We did the ATV excursion with 4 adults and 2 kids. The views were great! Riding the ATV felt like we were on the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland, except we get to actually drive the vehicle. Our tour guide, Ethan, he was great and super friendly!! He took a lot of a pictures for us and made sure we had a great time! We would definitely recommend this tour and I wouldn’t mind doing it again.

3-Hour Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Deli Lunch & Drinks

Highly Enjoyable and Amazing.

Reviewed by: Pamela

We couldn’t” be happier with the whole adventure. Relaxing, exciting, entertaining, and educational all in one trip. We were fortunate to have everything we expected. We learned to snorkel. We saw many beautiful fish while in the water, attracting many by using the fish food we bought and scattering it around. While on board we learned a bit about the Catamaran we were on and how it was sailed. The sights were identified and all our questions were answered by the knowledgeable seaman. They offered many fun facts as well along the way. They were alway alert to our needs, assuring that we had fun and stayed safe. When the dolphins appeared, the nature and habits of the creatures were discussed, The differences between the type of dolphin following the boat and other dolphins was made. We were fortunate enough to have a sea turtle come and check us out as well. The people we had on board with us were friendly and polite and enjoyed the trip as well. I heard no complaints from anyone. I would recommend this company for this adventure to anyone who wants to have a fun snorkeling trip with a great crew, and an adventure that is safe and informative.

Last minute booking are we are extremely happy with the hike. Randy was an awesome tour guide and provided a lot of interesting information. Lunch provided was an organic shrimp or chicken roll up that was very tasty and the perfect size... the swim in the river was refreshing...seeing the forest with strawberry quads trees and ginger root everywhere... Tahiti prawns in the river nd wild pigs in the forest. The 4x4 rig was a great ride on both pavement and muddy roads... a must do trip

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

Going back!

Reviewed by: Heidi

We were initially skeptical of going to any Luau after a previous experience we had on Maui. We were concerned it would feel like a crowded dinner show instead of an authentic experience. We live on Oahu and had guests who really wanted to go. Tao Luau appealed to us because Waimea Falls is a beautiful setting away from resorts, and it has way less occupancy for the event then the others (200 compared to up to 800!). We were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome, hands on experience, delicious dinner, and stunning show. We have visitors coming in a week, and more in the summer, and have already booked for two more times!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Heidi, and mahalo for your review! We are pleased to know you had a great experience at the luau, which was initially not what you thought it was. We are glad we have changed your mind about activities like ours. We have planned everything about the luau having one goal - make it a great experience for everybody. Come see us again when you can :-) Mahalo!

This was by far my favorite activity and our girls loved it. It was so beautiful. There are also so many different movies filmed here and that was cool to see. They also have a super reasonable cafe with excellent food. Bacon and eggs for only $10 and ACAI bowls were to die for!!! They do weigh you right before you get on the horse and are strict about the weight. Could have done this several times.

My friend and I took our kids, 5, 9, & 11 years old, on these, & we took the advice from others to go on a day it was going to rain a little. & I must say, it made the experience great. All of our pictures came out looking fabulous, our tour guide, he was the best. He even said it, so I’m sure many have told him this before. We chose the 2- hour ATV ride because we didn’t want to run out of time, & boy I am glad we did. We made several stops along the way in some historical places. Took a lot of different photos. & our tour guide, he even made panoramic photos and short movies that look amazing on our phone. I saw a few people out there zip lining, & it looked awesome. I wish I would’ve done that too now. Everything about this place was great and my kids loved it as well.

Loved that the cruise was BYOB, but there was an option to purchase drink bracelets for $20. Great views, but just wish the crew would have pointed out what we were looking at in Waikiki! Didn't really cruise towards Diamond Head, just went straight out from the dock and then back in. Price is a little high for what you're getting, even with the 15% off discount.
