Kualoa Ranch Horseback Riding & Jurassic Valley Movie Sites Tour

Amazing horse ride!!!

Reviewed by: Tina Hughes

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.

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

The best experience I’ve had

Reviewed by: Bella

I had the best time on my shark tour! The guys were super helpful and informative. The weather was great and I felt very safe the entire time, even inside the cage with the Sharks. There were so many Sharks swimming around the cage, much more than I expected. I highly recommend this shark cage tour. I had the best time with them.

2-Hour Moana Sailing Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Drink Included

BYOB is great

Reviewed by: SFO

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.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Must experience

Reviewed by: Lai from California

It was really a great experience, regardless of the rain. HoHo was my horse— described as the Regina George of the group! The staff were friendly. Wish there was a way to communicate with our leader, Cassie a bit better while on the trail. It would be nice to have stopped in one more place for pictures and if the spot we do stop at could have a block so people could get off, that would be cool! It would also be cool to learn a little about the plants we see, the area we are in, more information about POLO too.
The pace was good although a little instruction on how to sit in the seat (where to tighten to lessen the inside leg pain) would be helpful too.
I did not see and was not ensured of a method for cleaning the helmets. Maybe offering some kind of bandana for customers to buy so people who are weary of lice or anything can feel more comfortable.
We really learned the meaning of learning how to ride “it”.

Loved it!

Reviewed by: Kellybabyyy

Highly recommend this BYOB cocktail sail! Even though the weather wasn't super ideal, the boat crew still made us comfortable and catered to our needs. That included giving us cups for the alcohol we brought or providing ideal camera ops. It is a very low key activity, but what originally drew me to it was the BYOB option. Only two other couples and one small group of girls were present, so COVID rules were adequately followed. The boat is also big enough in that we were spaced out well. The things that really stood out for me from this experience was the animal spotting (saw a turtle and whale) and the crew's excellent attitudes. They made us feel right at home on the boat. Thank you for the good times!

Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

For real....this was a blast

Reviewed by: Lernie0206

So, we NEVER post reviews.....but this one we had too. We went on Thursday, Feb 11th, 2021 at 5pm.
First off, we got caught in traffic and were running late. They made sure we got there. Once we set sail, the entire crew was unbelievable. The views and whale watching was incredible. But to be honest, the best part was the crew. They may seem young, but the skipper and her crew knew exactly what they were doing. They were entertaining and high energy, and brought the fun out of everyone. They made sure the drinks were available, and they were always professional. But at the same time, they brought that youthful energy to the deck and it made the night of sailing perfect. Cheers...
And whatever you do....do NOT leave the food that was there in containers to sit. It literally was one of the best teriyaki chicken dishes we have ever had. If the bug bosses are reading this....hang on to this crew.

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ>

You can experience Polynesian culture. ポリネシアの文化を体験することができます。

Reviewed by: キングジュリアン

Not only in Hawaii, but it also joyfully introduces the various types of dances found on the islands of Polynesia. It was amazing to see so many different kinds beyond just hula dance. (It might not be suitable for those who are only interested in hula dance?) The venue can be a bit difficult to find, so I recommend asking plenty of questions to those around you.

ハワイにとどまらず、ポリネシアの各島でどのようなダンスがされているか楽しく紹介をしてくれます。フラダンス以外に、こんなにたくさんの種類がみられるのすごかったです。(フラダンスのみでよい方にはちょっと不向きかも?)
会場が分かりにくいので回りのかたにたくさん質問することをお勧めします。

I had a great time horseback riding. The scenery was beautiful, and they took photos for me. (I received them later via airdrop.) Riding alone for about an hour since I was 8 years old is something I can't do in Japan, so it was a wonderful experience.

Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Amazing First Time Snorkeling Experience

Reviewed by: Nishant

Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

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

Amazing, authentic experience!

Reviewed by: erkerk10

I lived on Oahu, and have attended many of the popular, industrial, Luaus on the island. Due to Covid, most were closed, so we went with Waimea Valley Toa Luau. I can say it was by far the most intermate, and authentic luau I've ever been to. The "cheaper" tickets still have a great, elevated view. The members/staff/performers are all family and the demonstrations they have are authentic to their history. With the admission to Waimea valley included, you can easily make an entire day of exploring the valley and concluding with the Luau. It truly felt like a family cookout (which is the true spirit of a luau) and not an assembly line of people and mediocre food (as most other industrial luaus are). Homemade coco drink, and no less than 5 fire throwers at once, put Waimea Valley Toa Luau over the top for me. Also, not a coconut bra in sight...

Reply from activity provider

Aloha and mahalo for your review! We are very glad to know you had a marvelous time at the luau! We hope to see you again ^_^
