Oahu to Big Island - Helicopter Tour & Volcano Sightseeing Adventure with Lunch

Incredible tour!

Reviewed by: Marty

Incredible helicopter tour along with great bus tour of Volcano Natl Park and surrounding areas. Pilot was fantastic and funny. The ride felt very safe. We even got to see whales as a bonus! Ground tour was awesome with stops both in Volcano Natl. Park and included stop at 450 ft. waterfall, famous beach, and local bakery. Guide on bus tour was very nice and knowledgeable of local areas, history, and culture. Company handled flights to and from Oahu, the helicopter ride, and pick up/drop off at airport. Well worth the price.

Oahu Island Experience Tour - North Shore, East Side, Dole Pineapple & More

Amazing Island Tour with a great guide!!

Reviewed by: Delbert

My first time to Hawaii and I wanted to experience and see all the island has to offer and this tour was exceptional! Our tour guide Jonah was awesome, and he took the time to answer all our questions as he drove us around the island. He also took pictures of us at all the stops and was accommodating to our needs and let me charge my phone while driving as well as offered us complimentary waters. He gave us ample time at each stop to enjoy the beautiful island and scenery. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to explore all the islands have to offer. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and navigated the tricky traffic situations with ease which made it nice to stay on track with the time. The van also was nice that it was a small enough group that it felt personalized, and we became friends with the other couples in our tour group as well.

Hello Delbert,

Thank you for your review. I am glad you had a great time on the tour with your Dad. Glad you got to see some of the surf contest at Sunset. I hope you had a great time in Hawaii and hope you can visit our islands again.

Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

Submarine ride.

Reviewed by: Dava

Thoroughly enjoyed that experience and will definitely do it again. Have told everyone that they have to give it a try. Your crew was very good and pleasant and the young man talking with us was very entertaining. This is the second time I have been on an Atlantis sub the other was in the Caymans, which I also enjoyed but this one was the best.

2-Hour Afternoon West Oahu Whale Watching Tour - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]

It was awesome!

Reviewed by: Aki & Matt

Twenty minutes after leaving Waianae harbor, my husband spotted a whale spout first. After that several pairs of whales were spotted during the 2 hour tour.
We were so excited when one appeared at a distance of about 20 yards (whale came up to the boat) Also we watched a whale with a baby, and the baby appeared to wave to us hitting the surface of the water several times with a pectoral fin awhile looking at us.
The waves weren't so strong on that day, so even I, who get seasick, could spend the day out to sea without any problems. I was relieved that there is a restroom on board.
We relaxed sitting back enjoyed the whales and good drinks with snacks . We really had a great time.
The captain and the three staff members always took care to make us feel comfortable. The boat appears and sounds to be in good working order. We felt safe on it.
Thank you, CPT Dave, Quin, Aaron, and braeden!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Perfect package!

Reviewed by: Happy Tourist!

This was an especially fun day with the crew we were assigned. They encouraged us to play volleyball at the sandbar which was super fun even though I was one of the weak links and a reluctant player. I am so glad they promoted this activity and included everyone who was willing to join in.

We saw so many turtles of all sizes from small to very large. They were up close and amazing. This was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Hawaii. We also snorkeled at one of the reefs. Although the snorkeling wasn't the best, we found that was true at all our attempts at snorkeling on Oahu on this trip. We did see some schools of fish and it was fun getting into the water and searching.

The food was great and the people and crew made the whole day special and memorable. I will do this tour again if I ever return to Oahu! I highly recommend this tour.

2-Hour Waikiki Morning Whale Watching Experience - Moana Catamaran [Jan-Mar]

Well Worth It!

Reviewed by: Ruth

My husband and I booked this at the last minute, so we weren't sure what to expect. We were very positively impressed. The boat was ready on time, clean and in very good shape. The crew were friendly as well as professional, answering any questions, patiently waiting and following signs of whales, and even taking pictures for passengers. It took a bit of patience on the passengers' part, but the crew knew where to go. We saw several pairs of mother whales with their young. At one point there were spouts going up in three different spots around us. And, really, seeing whales never gets old! The slow roll as they surface then the tail flip as they go back under is so peaceful, but thrilling at the same time. Although the crew were all younger folks, the music they played was at first a nice mix of standard pop songs that appealed to all ages. But the best was when they started playing all Hawaiian artists. (The captain joked that the whales like the Hawaiian music best). That music just seems to naturally go along with the sun and swell of the waves. We would definitely recommend this tour (and we already did).

90-Minute Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail & Cocktail Cruise - Hawea Rainbow Catamaran

What a great evening!

Reviewed by: Sarah

My friends and I booked this as a fun way to celebrate our first full day in Honolulu and to take an official photo to share the news of our engagement! We had a wonderful time, and the captain and the crew took great photos and had an awesome sense of humor. We were able to bring our own drinks, got a great sunset, and we even saw whales in the distance! The best part about it was that it wasn't that crowded, so we were able to move around easily and have enough space to be comfortable.

We loved it so much that we booked it again for the next night (with another friend who arrived that afternoon). I'd definitely recommend bringing a bathing suit in case you want to swim, as some people on our trip had a great time jumping in the water!

Thank you to everyone who made the trip so great!

You may find a lot of tour to the sandbar but none compares to these guys. They are fun, customer-oriented, careful and outgoing, all at the same time. You are taken care of right from the moment you checkin with them at the harbour till they drop you back. They have plenty of lifeguards, people helping you in the water, teaching you kayaking/paddle boating/snorkelling/banana boating etc.
