Having a private guide made the tour that much better, such a great location to kayak!
ATVs were easy to drive and in great condition and guides were awesome throughout!
Loved visiting each village and getting to learn about the unique traditions they hold! Fabulous put on.
I was surprised by the aesthetics, the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, the quality of the performances, the abundance and taste of the food!

An amazing full-day experience - the island villages were interactive and educational, dinner at the Gateway Buffet was solid
Tonight we went to an immersive and interactive luau -it was simply the best and I would highly recommend!
We all had such a great time - we were welcomed like family! We loved learning to drum, spin fire “knives”, wrap fish for cooking, bury the fish to cook on the hot rocks, have a traditional kava ceremony, and weave tea leaves to make bracelets, leis, etc. We then had a catered kalua pork dinner and got to eat the fish we wrapped and cooked. This was so much better than the commercialized luaus we have attended before! If you want a true family experience this is for you. If you want the commercialized cocktail filled experience this isn’t it!
We only bought the entrance tickets and drove ourselves to the Polynesian Center. The journey there was also a wonderful experience—we really enjoyed the views and the local residents. The center was very beautiful, and there were also lovely stalls where you could buy souvenirs. The staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed the many presentations from different islands. We enjoyed the welcome show. The final show was amazing, as was the buffet. Our compliments!
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!
Coming from Alaska, It was an awesome experience to see different cultures.
The best experience ever! You need to go and jump with #GOJUMP!
We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!
I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazing, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!
Do this trip on your first day here.
My son and I learned so much about the polynesian people and their culture and pride in their ancestry and the spokes person for each island was both funny and informative. I would definitely do this again and the life of breath show was amazing, sat on the front row and a few performers shook our hands after the show!
The hospitality was amazing and the food was great! Worth every penny!
The father and son team that run this operation and tour were outstanding, really cared for everyone and very professional.
This tour was absolutely amazing and our driver Pattrick was the best part! He was so polite, friendly and made us feel like in home! We loved him! Thank you Pattrick!!!
It was a blast, felt like a well oiled operation. Highly recommend the picture package the free fall goes by so fast that you’d want to have the pictures / videos to remember your experience.
Our guide Ryan was off the hook amazing. His passion for his job showed through. Our journey into the back country of Hawaii was exciting and informative. You’re going to get dirty and it’s worth it. If you only come to Hawaii once in your life make sure you take this tour!!!!
Bring baby wipes. The red dirt gets everywhere. Also bring your adventurous spirit. It will be awed!
We were picked up right on time from the Marriott Waikīkī, and the entire shuttle experience was absolutely top-notch. Our driver and guide, Masa, was a true delight—friendly, flexible, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. The shuttle itself was clean, smooth, and very comfortable, making for a relaxing ride.
What really made the experience stand out was Masa’s personal touch. He took the time to learn each of our names and offered outstanding tips and advice that really enriched our visit. It felt like more than just transportation—it was a warm, welcoming experience.
10 out of 10. I’d absolutely recommend this service and would happily ride with Masa again!
What a top-tier luau in a beautiful setting at Waimea Valley! Highly recommended
We'll scheduled. Both drivers were really nice and friendly.
He knows everything about Hawaii and shared with us. We truly learned a lot of Hawaiian history during this trip. 6 stars instead of 5!!!
We enjoyed the ride! There was two of us on the trip and it was so pleasant. It rained briefly but didn’t stop us. The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. We will definitely tell our friends about it and do it again when we come back. Thank you!!! Mahalo!
Jay explained things very well before embarking on a great flight. I thoroughly enjoyed my flight and would recommend it to anyone
Allow plenty of time to find the location before the flight
We had a great time kayaking the ocean and river. Guides were very friendly, fun, annd accommodating and kept everyone in our group safe!
Very friendly captain who found whales and a shark for us
