Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa
Absolutely amazing!
Activity Date: 2021/04/29 | Posted on: 2021/05/05

Kaleo and Myles (sorry if I butchered the spelling, guys <3 !) were our guides and they were absolutely phenomenal. This was one of the most incredible things I have ever experienced. Although the water was a little rough due to wind, my group had an amazing time! We will absolutely do it again and will recommend this tour to everyone!

Outrigger Canoe Surfing with Waikiki Beach Boys
So much fun! Felt like a kid again!

We sincerely enjoyed our time on the ocean with the outrigger captain and first mate! One of the four of us was very hesitant to be in the ocean and freaked out about the possibility of flipping. These guys were excellent from the very beginning in explaining the paddling method, the proper way to enter and exit the canoe, and why it was totally safe!
Once we got out on the water we were able to catch five waves and enjoyed every single ride!
Thank you for such a joyous time!

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]
Absolutely loved it!
Activity Date: 2021/04/07 | Posted on: 2021/05/01

Beautiful hike to a Waimea Falls. The botanical gardens were beautiful and.full of history too. Easy hike for my kids Got to swim in the lagoon under the falls at the top. I love that they provided life jackets. Once we came down and changed it was off to the luau. We had a great time participating in some of the cultural activities and learning the Polynesian history and culture. Dancing was amazing and food phenomenal. My family really enjoyed it -especially my 11 year old and 15 year old. Highly recommend!!

Activity Date: 2021/04/27 | Posted on: 2021/04/30

We wanted to learn more about the culture of Hawaii through an activity that was outside our comfort zone and this tour was the best thing ever. Huge part to our tour guide Ryan who kept us engaged even though we were hanging on for dear life in some parts of the off-roading haha... it was a fun ride especially since it was just our group, we had space to bounce around.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
Best Experience Ever
Activity Date: 2021/04/27 | Posted on: 2021/04/29

I would recommend this as a MUST DO!! Yes you will be nervous but, once you get on the boat your captains will make you feel so comfortable! They both have great humor that helps to calm your nerves. What you will experience while your in the cage is amazing! You get to see it all up close! I would recommend anyone to do this. For tourists plan transportation both ways prior to your tour. Its hard to get a uber in that area.

This has hands down me and my husband's favorite part of our trip. It was amazing! Being that high up in the air and looking at the view of the water and the island is truly breathtaking. Being up there is actually pretty calming and relaxing. The host were amazing they take great pictures of you and they are hilarious.

Cage shark dive
Activity Date: 2021/04/21 | Posted on: 2021/04/23

This was amazing amazing experience! The folks running the boat were informational and extremely friendly. There were only 4 people upon the boat and we were all able to get in the cage together comfortably. For the amount we paid we had a generous amount of time in the cage to view the shark in there natural habitat. They were very curious and we got some beautiful pictures. When I had an issue with the snorkel the team provided several others for me to try. The water was high 70’s and we took the early morning venture where the water was fairly still and the island was quiet. I would absolutely recommend this affordable once in a life time experience!

Kevin made the entire trip outstanding.

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights
Parasailing April 2021
Activity Date: 2021/04/03 | Posted on: 2021/04/17

Took this activity with my family of 4 and we totally enjoyed every minute of it. Russel and his colleague were very thorough in making sure everyone on the boat were safe and following COVID protocols. As soon as we hopped on the boat, Russel briefed everyone about the safety protocols, DO's and DONT's during parasailing. This was a great experience esp for my kids (age 8 &10) as this was their first time. In the end, Russel took awesome pictures of us and I have received great comments about it from my friends, family. Thank you Russel for making this experience such a memorable one. Will definitely come back again in the near future.

Activity Date: 2021/04/15 | Posted on: 2021/04/17

Sunset Cruise on the Moana Catamaran was great. Do the sail without the food though, no time to eat it before you take off. Captain Johnny and his crew were great. Love the music and the view of Diamond Head, Waikiki and Honolulu was breathtaking. I highly recommend this Sunset Cruise!

Aloha,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are always happy to know that our team has done the best they can to ensure a delightful experience with the Moana Catamaran. Our sincerest apologies for the lack of time to eat before taking off. Often our customers enjoy eating during the sail, nonetheless we understand that some prefer to eat before leaving the harbor.
On another note, it is our pleasure to be able to share the beauty of Waikiki with our customers. Mahalo for your time and we hope to see you again soon!

My husband and I booked this cruise for my birthday and we were not disappointed. The crew was amazing and the captain even kept us out for additional time so ensure that we saw the sunset. The crew was fun and always kept everyone laughing and dancing. If you’re in the Waikiki area this cruise is a must and will not disappoint.

It was okay, the crew was great.
Activity Date: 2021/03/16 | Posted on: 2021/04/10

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.
