Oahu
It was really great, nice view of the sharks, enough time, just enough people in the cage, perfect, I will just suggest that the guides are a little more excited about the tour itself, maybe they were not excited because it was 1 p.m.
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...
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 ^_^
I was able to see the best sunset. However, there were no snacks provided as mentioned in the tour details, only canned soda. All the passengers were American that day, mostly families, and the children were adorable. The wind was strong, and it got quite cold when we went further out, so I recommend bringing a jacket.
最高の夕日を見る事ができました。
しかしツアー内容にあったスナックの提供はなく缶の炭酸ジュースのみでした。
乗客はこの日は全てアメリカ人でしたがファミリーが大半で子供たちが可愛かったです。
風が強くかなり沖まで出ると寒いので上着の持参をおすすめします。
It was our first time to parasail. We absolutely loved it! We never felt scared or unsafe. It was very exciting and fun. We went in a triple tandem and loved every minute of it. We wanted to schedule another outing but due to the holidays we couldn't fit it it. I highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail!!
In the morning, we were picked up at our hotel and taken by van to pick up other customers for the day. The driver and instructor was a Japanese-Brazilian man who had lived in Japan, so it was nice to chat with him during the ride. There were three of us participating, and one person was able to switch from kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding, which was helpful. Once we got out to sea, the guidance and advice about the current points and areas to be cautious of were accurate, allowing us to feel safe while riding. Carrying the boards and kayaks by ourselves was quite hard, but overall, we had a great time. For lunch, we could choose from the shop within the facility. Last time we had pizza, and this time we had a plate lunch. There was also a shop for marine goods, and during our free time, we could go shopping in Kailua.
朝は滞在のホテルまでピックUPしてもらえ、バンで次々とその日のお客様をピックアップです。
ドライバー兼インストラクターの男性は日本での生活歴のある日系の方でしたので道中も話しながら向かうことが出来たので良かったです。
三人で参加したのですが、一人カヤックからSUPにしていただけたので助かりました。
海に出てからも流れのポイントや注意する場所では声がけとアドバイスも的確で安心して乗れました。
自分でボードやカヤックを運ぶのは結構ハードでしたが、ひっくるめて楽しく過ごせました。
ランチも施設内のショップで選ぶことが出来ます。
前回はピザ、今回はプレートランチ、マリングッズのショップもあり、フリータイムにはカイルアにショッピングも可能です。
Amazing!!! 10/10 recommend! Staff was amazing, food was amazing-the overall experience was awesome! Will definitely do again. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Had an amazing night, saw dolphins! Wasn’t sure what to expect but definitely worth it, wonderful experience!
It was a gorgeous view of the ranch. Our tour guides Dean and Kayla were very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great experience for our entire family. The lunch was hearty and even filled up our big eaters!! Well done, we will certainly recommend this to travelers.
My husband and I had never been ziplining before, but we were really excited to try this out. The guides are SO awesome! They explain everything before you do it and they make you laugh along the way. They have "challenges" throughout the tour and they are such a blast! At the end of the tour they teach you how to do some tricks, which was SO cool! My husband Spiderman'ed and I hung upside down, spread eagle lol.
Thank you guys for such an incredible trip! We bought shirts and some stickers that are currently hanging on our fridge :)
WOW!!! What an INCREDIBLE experience!!!!!
My husband and I are both scared of sharks and he is very claustrophobic. We were worried how he would do in the cage. This was our FAVORITE part of Hawaii! As soon as you get to the spot, you immediately see sharks. They knew what we were doing there and they remember that the guides feed them, so they were all over the boat. Such a gnarly thing to see fins coming up right next to the boat!
There were eight of us on the boat and we were able to split into two groups so we could all have space and time inside the cage. It was SO COOL!! There were 8-12 Galapagos sharks swimming right next to us. They come so close to the cage, you could easily reach out and touch them, but do NOT do that lol.
We could not believe how much we loved this adventure. We recommend to everyone!!
I couldn't imagine it being any more amazing. The tour guides were all really professional and a safety diver made sure we didn't accidentally swim into the boat. We got very good diving glasses as well. The sharks themselves were really calm and didn't show any aggression at all and none of us got afraid once they did show up. If i had to describe it, I'd say it feels a bit like standing in front of a cow, a horse, or a dolphin. You know they are multiple times as big as you and could easily kill you, but there is no danger as they simply don't behave like that. And the same goes for the sharks.
Jeff & justin were awesome! Such a fun experience and our group had so much fun out there out in the water. Felt like we had our own catamaran
Went on the 1 1/2 hours sunset cruise with Captain Johnny and it was great. We enjoyed the trip and the sunset view was amazing. Tons of pictures and lots of fun. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommending this trip.
Our family had a wonderful time parasailing with these super friendly fun folks!
We’ve been on a couple cruises around Oahu and this has been the best by far! Excellent and friendly service. The crew went beyond themselves to make our experience perfect!
The staff was extraordinary!
The went out of their way to make us feel comfortable!
Outstanding!
Awesome trip. Great crew. This is well worth the time and money. No better way to see Waikiki and Diamondhead. Oahu resident, extremely impressed!
I celebrated my 30th birthday on 12/21. My bf and I had an amazing time. We brought a bottle of champagne and chips. Watched the sunset together. The captain and his crew were very friendly. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!
Thank you for coming to pick me up without any worries!
I appreciate the smooth arrangements with no waiting time.
The staff are always kind and attentive, which makes me feel secure when making reservations.
I look forward to requesting your services again in the spring.
Thank you very much!
心配無くお迎えに来て下さいました!
待ち時間も無く、スムーズな配慮に感謝します
スタッフの方々も、親切で丁寧な対応にいつも
安心して予約できます
又春にお願い致します
有り難うございました!
very friendly people, good customer service, best water experience
コロナ前ですが、クジラを遠くに見ながらジェットフォイル船でお酒を飲んで楽しかったです。60over二人を連れてても全然問題なかったです。また行けるといいなー。
This was a beautiful cruise with excellent customer service. Captain Johnny was the best. He called to help to provide directions and he made the trip a wonderful experience. He and his crew were great and the food was excellent. It was a wonderful evening that could not be matched. 5 star!!
I wish the cruise had been longer but I understand during covid everything is different. everyone had planty of space and very few aboard. Drinks were Plentiful.
An amazing boating and snorkeling experience with an incredibly reasonable price! The crew was friendly and good-looking, the boat was beautiful, and the trip was just long enough to get a good fix of the sea without getting too cooked on the water. Plus with snorkeling gear (sans fins) and drinks!
Had a great time on the boat with me and my wife. Boat was easy to find, it's right on the beach where the instructions say it is. Crew was helpful and nice when we got on bored. Introducied themselves and made us feel welcome. The ride was super smooth, and being able to bring drinks on board was great. Highly recommend!!
Sunset cruise was amazing - I highly recommend it. Cheers
Mahalo for joining us! We hope to sail with you again!
At first, I was scared to see the helicopter, but with four to five seatbelts, it felt very safe!
The takeoff and flight were more comfortable than a regular airplane. There was no turbulence!! It was amazing.
最初ヘリコプターを見るまでは怖かったですが、
4~5個のシートベルトをつけるのでかなり安全!
テイクオフも、フライトも普通の飛行機より快適でした。
揺れがない!!すごかったです。
Chelsea, Nick and Taylor were so gracious and patient with all of us. Oldest 62 and youngest 5.
Mahalo for the kind review, Pattie!! We hope you all have a very happy new year! Lots of aloha from the OSP crew!
We've been on a few sunset cruise's in the past, this one had the best drinks, views of the coast, waves, boat, sunset and crew by far! It's a must for couples.
Mahalo Renee! We absolutely love your photos! Thank you for sharing! We are happy the you had such a great time! We hope to sail with you again soon!!
I felt safe even during COVID-19. I was very worried about the transportation between the airport and the hotel in Hawaii, where there were no Japanese tourists at all, but I was able to relax because they were very kind and accommodating. I definitely want to use this service again, and I look forward to it in the future.
コロナでも安心できました。日本人観光客が全くいない状態のハワイで空港とホテルの移動がとても心配が多かったのですが、とても親切に対応してくださいましたので安心して過ごすことができました。またぜひ利用したいと思いますこれからもよろしくお願いします。
Everyone was very kind and helpful. I was a bit worried about the airport and hotel transfers due to COVID-19, but I was able to complete the transfers without any issues. Since there were no Japanese customers due to the impact of COVID-19, it was a private transfer, which made it very comfortable!
とても親切で助かりました。コロナ関係で空港とホテルの送迎どうなるかちょっと心配でしたが、無事送迎を完了することができました。日本人のお客さんがコロナの影響でいなかったので貸し切りだったのでとても快適でした!
