Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights
Ok parasailing experience, not great staff
Activity Date: 2021/05/22 | Posted on: 2021/06/12

Our experience was ok..we were greeted by a cranky woman at the desk she mentioned our boat would arrive soon, our reservation was for 11am and we didn't end up boarding the boat until approximately 11:20. The crew on the boat was rude, we brought our gopro to film and it was about to die so we politely asked if we could go next so we could get footage of us in the air..they made a big deal of it and told us no even though the people who were up "next" didnt mind. I will say parasailing experience was a lot of fun! Just beware they ask you if you want to be dipped into the water, the couple before us stated they DID NOT want to be dipped but the crew said to us that they have a "special dip" for people who say no and proceeded to dip them into the water multiple times.

Had so much fun!
Activity Date: 2021/05/23 | Posted on: 2021/06/12

This was so much fun! We got to see part of the island. I got to SUP for the first time. Learned a lot while on the bus. The driver was telling us about the scenery and where certain movies were filmed.

2-Hour Moana Sailing Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Drink Included
Amaaaazing!!!
Activity Date: 2021/06/10 | Posted on: 2021/06/12

I loved the crew and the whole vibe the Cruise offered!! We had beautiful music playing and the sunset was gorgeous! If you’re looking for one of the best evenings you’ll have in Oahu, book this cruise without any reservations. It was easy to find. There’s a direct bus that goes from the Waikiki area and lands you on the basin where you’ll find your catamaran docked! Do it!

Hidden Gems at Gunstock Ranch Guided Tour - Private ATV Off-Road Adventure
Great experience
Activity Date: 2021/06/09 | Posted on: 2021/06/11

You learn about the ranch and the island. Our guide Ali was awesome, and you get to see more of the ranch than horseback riding gives you. I definitely recommend if you like a little adventure.

The overall tour was very interesting including the history of the ranch and what we saw on the way. Our tour guide Paige was great, she was very enthusiastic with a cute perky attitude. Would go again if she was doing the tour!

Cancelled at the time we were boarding.
Activity Date: 2021/06/09 | Posted on: 2021/06/11

After a 20 minute walk in the sun, we arrived just in time to board and were told it was cancelled. They did a refund but we were disappointed especially since everything else is booked weeks ahead of time.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
The sharks did not disappoint. Awesome experience to see them close up.
Activity Date: 2021/06/08 | Posted on: 2021/06/10

We chose this company because of longer time in the water with the sharks and smaller group size. it was worthwhile. It was fascinating to see the sharks so close, eye to eye, and being able to recognize different animals by their scars on their body and fins.
The crew was friendly, informative and very helpful, especially for the people with less snorkel experience. Definitely recommend it for an unforgettable experience on Oahu. Having a GoPro for rent was very helpful.

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]
Absolutely amazing!! A MUST DO!!!
Activity Date: 2021/05/03 | Posted on: 2021/06/08

I can not recommend this enough!! If you are on Oahu it is worth the trip to Waimea Valley. This was my family & I's absolute favorite thing we did in Hawaii! It was incredibly personable, authentic, and overall an amazing luau. They were all very nice and made a point to come to every table and talk with all of the guests. They even went above and beyond by helping the table next to us and walking their baby around in the stroller so that they could eat their dinner. Everyone was in awe at how amazing the crew made this experience for everyone. They were truly enjoying teaching everyone about the Polynesian culture from the Polynesian Islands, and it made the experience that much better. Can not recommend enough! GO GO GO!

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
Shark Dive
Activity Date: 2021/06/04 | Posted on: 2021/06/07

I was expecting to maybe see some sharks out in the distance, but this was up close and person with about 12 Galapagos sharks!
As soon as we reached the site the sharks were already there because they have been conditioned to think they are getting food.
Our guides Erin and Jordan were amazing! Very down to earth and even gave us some recommendations on where to grab a bite to eat afterward.
This was by far the wildest thing I have ever done and HIGHLY recommend.

What a great experience! To be in open water with these beautiful creatures was awesome. The crew is so interactive with the guests and they share educational information about sharks. They are in the water the entire time as well. I was worn out from the experience but it is so worth it!

It was a great ride along the park, my tour guide was very knowledgeable friendly and helpful. Would do it again when I'm in Honolulu.

The horses seemed well trained and not overworked, which made me happy and feel better about Riding the horses.

If your in the Honalulu area you must try this activity. Veltra also made it easy for me to book.

awesome!
Activity Date: 2021/06/02 | Posted on: 2021/06/04

This event was great and fun, the view while on the parasail is great and the captain/crew had great personality. A warning to those who get motion sick however, don’t eat too much before going on this trip. The boat ride gets a bit nauseating from all the waves.

One of the highlights of our trip!
Activity Date: 2021/05/09 | Posted on: 2021/05/29

We loved this tour. Thought I was going to be scared but I didn’t hesitate to jump in. Everybody was super nice and we felt like we had ample time in the water with the sharks. We saw SO MANY. It was a very cool experience that we won’t forget. Make sure to take some sea sickness pills. Some people on our boat couldn’t handle the waves. Everybody was a good sport about it though. Super fun!!
