The tour of the North Shore was a wonderful way to see this iconic area. Our guide, Kevin, was a wealth of knowledge as he was born and raised in the area. We stopped at several locations to allow for sightseeing, shopping, eating and various activities. It was a day well spent.

The captain and his mate kept 2 seniors entertained and helpful in calming our fears about the safety of parasailing. We got to see Hawaii from the air. Well worth the money.

My daughter said this was the highlight of her entire experience in Hawaii and we did so so many other things.! The guides were top notch. The place may look a little rustic at first. There are goats kind of roaming around lol but everything was extremely professional. we learned a lot about the horses and we got to go on the beach. they took a lot of time to take photos so that we could enjoy our memories.

Ease of the tour, no hassle. The experience is depressing but educational. It is nice to know more about history. But one day was not enough to read and study. The audio tour on USS Arizona helped. They should make audio tour also on the USS Missouri and USS Bowfin. I would definitely buy a tour from this website again. How I wish the website will send coupons also to frequent fliers. I am planning to buy tickets to Polynesian center next time I go back to Oahu. The price is reasonable. Thank you.

I went to the Polynesian Culture Center with my mom while visiting family in early January. The employees were so kind and the interactive activities were a much fun! Learning how to start a fire with a coconut skin, how to weave, and so many more shows and performances to watch and do! Plus the shopping center out front doesn’t hurt either!

KOA picked us up and was a very enjoyable and safe driver. We had a perfect sunny morning to hike and it was absolutely gorgeous! All of us in our group that hiked are in our 60’s and was not to difficult of a journey for us. The views on the way up and down were beautiful, but the views from the top were breathtaking! One of our favorite excursions while visiting the Hawaiian Islands.

On our first day in Waikiki we started off with a thrill at Outrigger Canoe Surfing! The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Russell was the captain and he and his crew were phenomenal and with their encouragement we powered through the surf and set up for three exhilarating rides over the breaking waves. It felt as though we were surfing. I would recommend this again in a heartbeat.

Wow! Everyone in Hawaii needs to go parasailing! My boyfriend and I did the 1000ft parasail and it was amazing. Our guides who were loads of fun really made it a cool experience. They take pictures for you that you can purchase for $35 that come on an SD card. The process of parasailing was quite simple. You step into some straps, sit down on the end of the boat and they clip two clips on and then BOOM YOU ARE OFF into the sky! You gradually get higher and it is so serene up in the sky. Literally breathtaking. After 6-7 minutes of flying, they lower you down and dip you into the water (for fun lol). So be careful if you are wearing glasses/sunglasses. You’ll get a nice cup of salt water tea!

Lots of sharks and bonus whales too! Crew was great.

. It’s a dusty ride so don’t wear a ton of makeup. Wear comfy shoes, not flip flops. Good value for your money.

Our family of 4 had a blast the whole experience was great the boat ride, good music, fun captains and beautiful scenery!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Climb Works Zipline. The guide were super fun and encouraging. I was pretty nervous before the first zipline, but the guides helped me feel safe and informed. By the last zipline, I felt very comfortable. The area is gorgeous- beautiful farm land with a view of the ocean. I cannot recommend this enough. We had a great time! I would definitely do this again!

Went to the Pearl Harbor Memorial with my family and had a wonderful time! Great Service! The staff truly went the extra mile for our tour.

What an experience!!! I was terrified at first and they made me feel so comfortable. I would go again and again and again ! so much fun ! thank you hawaii

It was a first for me and just spectacular! The view amazing from above and I loved the few ocean dunks :) Great customer service from start to finish. When my daughter and I checked in we were greeted with Aloha and a smile and the rest of the experience was all about the Aloha! Big Mahalo to Captain & Russell!

I participated with a friend. In the group lesson, there were four students per teacher, but they helped us catch a lot of waves. I was very satisfied. The teaching style was interesting, and since there were people who could speak Japanese, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience.

友達と2人で参加しました。グループレッスンで1人の先生につき4人でしたが、たくさん波に乗せてくれます。大満足でした。教え方も面白くて、日本語を話せる方もいらっしゃったのでリラックスして参加できました。

Great crew and fantastic experience! We arrived early and were able to catch the next boat ahead of schedule. Our captain flew us over a humpback whale and her baby and we were able to see them breach from above! Can't wait to come back : ) Thanks guys!

Great experience viewing aquatic life from submarine. Totally worth to visit once in a lifetime. On downside, finding the checking point was too cumbersome. Do plan to reach well advance in time. Did see lots of fishes, turtles. A bit on the expensive side, but again where else you would see marine life so closely without getting wet.

Love, love, LOVE this boat! It's a beach catamaran so no transportation is needed. Plus, they provide you with FINS that are super comfy and adjustable. After snorkeling, you get some snacks and can purchase drinks on board. We got the souvenir Holokai shaker to keep. We did the 9am cruise which was perfect for visibility and to catch a little bit of sun before it got too hot in the afternoon. Would recommend!

We started at Tantalus for beautiful 360 views and photos. Then, we drove a bit farther to start the actual trail. Quite a bit of it was shaded and there was a lot of incline at the beginning. The hiking guide was amazing and really knowledgable about the area. I felt like I learned so much about the different plants and trees plus the historical significance of some of them. Would recommend for the hiking aficionado!

This catamaran is super nice! Since it was an early snorkel cruise, we opted to add-on a light breakfast so we could sleep in a bit more in the AM. Visibility was amazing. On the boat ride to the snorkel spot, we were so lucky and saw dolphins. This is incredibly rare in Waikiki so we were so excited to have gotten the chance to see them! There were tons of fish at Turtle Canyon. This boat provided us with floatation belts AND fins. The fins helped us out so much and we were able to cover so much more area than if we didn't use them. Loved this cruise & would recommend!

We have a great time.
Highly recommend to all. Will come back next time.

We enjoy this so much. Our guide was amazing! He knew so much about the area and the shows that had been filmed there. He explained everything to us made it fun and entertaining. Definitely worth the price. The easy hike to the top was beautiful!

This is a family run business. They are experienced and care for your safety, rebooking if the wind picks up without any extra fees. They make it fun for everyone with music and photos. Definitely recommending the 1000ft experience for families. Even the kids had a blast!

Your trip is not complete without experiencing this tour. We had Great experienced! Tour guide/driver is fun and super cool! If you're movie fun or Jurassic fun for sure you’ll enjoy every seconds of the trip. The View was fantastic we love nature very greenery.

I think overall I had great time with parasailing, the view from top was awesome. We had two issues, first issue, we were the last family to do parasailing and they cut short our time in the air <6 minutes, (yes I timed ours, compared to first family) so they did not manage time well even though they advertised 8 mins from start to finish. second issue, photos we bought from them did not open on my computer and when I tried on another computer there were no photos at all, just wasted my money :-(. Next time, I would choose different parasailing vendor for sure.

Wow the view is amazing! And fun ride my 4 year old loved the tour! Would definitely come back and the more tours.

Excellent thrill ride! Staff was excellent too! Will go back the next time we’re here again.

This trip was a great activity to get the opportunity to snorkel, see turtles, fish, and coral without taking up your whole day.
The location is a short ride back to the popular beaches and they provide options of food and drinks.
The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful while on the tour.

The jungle jeep tour was awesome, considering the unpredicable weather, the driver was personable, humourous and fun. We went from sun to overcast to downright pouring and back to overcast. The trek was beautiful and the tour guide was knowledgeable. Very enjoyable experience that we booked last mins on our last day on the island before heading back to Canada.
