Loved the experience! Once in a lifetime so far. Hope to have a repeat someday!!
We had a great experience. Joshua communicated well. We needed to make a last minute venue change, due to the weather. Everything worked out perfectly!
We really had a good time. As the person in the very front, I got pretty wet, but the water was not cold at all. It was awesome seeing Waikiki from a surfer’s perspective.
We went on this cruise for our anniversary… Had so much fun. We booked it for a few days later. The crew is always awesome and so much fun. We do this every time we are in Hawaii.
Just go… You’ve got to go! I don’t recommend this cruise for kids.
We have done this cruise every time we go to Hawaii. We had so much fun a few days prior that we booked it again! The crew always shows you a good time!
I would recommend the sunset cruise. Sometimes you mean see whales during whale season!
1000ft flying was awesome and we were really excited! All stuff is friendly and humorous. We will absolutely come back here to enjoy Hawaii ocean again. Thank you!
Convenient, smooth, friendly staff. Easy to book and reserve. Perfect way to start your morning on this sunrise cruise
I regret not booking the Luau and show. I will definitely do it next time! Mahalo Rockahula!!
Book the Luau and show ! Do yourself the favor!
yo this waikiki parasailing sesh was literally the highlight of my whole hawaii trip fr fr. we got lifted like 800ft up (they have diff heights but we went with the lowest) and the views??? insane. turquoise water everywhere, diamond head in the background, honolulu skyline lookin baller af. harnesses felt secure, theygave clear instructions. im scared of heights but it was fine. 10/10 would do again
We had no idea what to expect. We just thought a little boat ride would be fun. It ended up being our favorite thing we did on our trip. We started off in the bay seeing dolphins swimming and spinning around and then went through some white capped waves that felt like a thrill ride. We laughed and smiled the whole time. Felt completely safe and taken care of.
Maybe make it more obvious that only cash is accepted.
Everything went smoothly-tour operator picked us up on time at designated spot and returned us at appropriate time, and gave us a narrative talk about the area enroute to Diamond Head. The destination was exceptional -with amazing views of the inland and coastline. One tip- it appears that the later you go in the day the busier the trail gets. We left at 8:30 am and the crowds were manageable. If you're in Honolulu-definitely check this beauty out-and plan to get a good cardiovascular workout in climbing to the top!
Captain Nick and crew showed us a great time on our fourth consecutive annual November sunset cruise. Each one is a little different vibe. Sunday appears to be the best day for a more peaceful vibe. Great interaction with Captain and crew. The food is OK (catered boxes) but we started scheduling a post-cruise restaurant dinner last year at nearby Fresco and enjoyed that again this year. We plan to take this cruise every year!
Dinner at a nearby restaurant after the cruise.
This is well worth the time and money. Had a wonderful dip in the waterfall pool
and our guide was funny, informed and chill. Do it!
This tour starts early, but it is worth it.
Nice bus great friendly driver.
The climb is fast paced if you want to reach the top in time for sunrise, not easy and you will be out of breath.
Truest worth th effort.
The way down is slower paced and super easy.
Loved this and glad we did it.
Take water and start out quicker than you think you need to so you can take a quick breather break
This was well worth the money, amazing place, beautiful rainforest, you will get a little wet, and muddy, bring water, our driver Mathew K was great, got us there safe, had water for us at the end, would definitely do it again.
Dress appropriately, not a hike to do in slipper (flip flops) or dress/casual shoes, hiking shoes.
The cruise was very well organized and the staff was friendly and fun-loving. My kids and I enjoyed ourselves immensely and plan to make this a continuous part of our trip to the islands.
Everything was first class and staff was very friendly
None
Was looking for adventure while in Waikiki and found this Great ride, excellent crew, well worth it.
This is the 2nd time in 2 years that I have done this catamaran cruise to watch the Friday night fireworks from the water. This time I invited friends who are locals to join me. They were impressed. The crew is amazing. The drinks are great, the view is spectacular. Unfortunately the fireworks show seems to get shorter every year. HOWEVER, that is not the fault of the crew. It’s still an amazing evening and I will do it again next trip despite the fact that I typically stay at the Hilton and could see the fireworks from my condo or from the beach, but doing it with Ke Kai takes the whole experience to a whole new level.
We walked to the launch spot from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Met the friendly crew and we took off on such a fun sail. Saw beautiful fish and a turtle at turtle canyon, then sailed around the bay. My teens had a blast. Bring a drink to enjoy after snorkeling!
Bring water /drinks, and consider motion sickness (available at the ABC store) pills just in case.
Every aspect of the luau was wonderful. The ambience, the view, the dinner, the singing, and the dancers!
Bring an appetite and your camera
The Xplore ride was really fun and brought out the kid in me! If you know a little about VR and Mixed Reality, this experience starts off with Mixed Reality with nice fish and marine life around you and some light educational sections on Waikiki and the beaches. The ride does transition into full VR at times with underwater volcanic vents, above ground volcanic eruption, a 360 visual aerial view above the islands (nice!), and an underwater route with all sorts of aquatic creatures around you, known to be local to the islands and some nice coral (this was my favorite part). There is more light educational pieces dispersed in these full on VR parts as well. The movement of the bus really gives you the sense of “traveling” through the VR worlds and even the fish “swimming” through the bus in Mixed Reality was enhanced by the movement. Our host was wonderful and really explained everything well! The driver was very friendly too. The experience can be heard in Japanese or English. Too me, the only negative, though the headsets are of very high quality, was the pass through video of the outside was a bit unfocused when it was too far in the distance (like the ocean views near Diamond Head). Final thoughts are that it is definitely worth it and please consider supporting this business and others that bring the beauty of nature and the immersion of technology and imagination together!
Make sure to show up a bit early!
Our family of 6 got to experience this tour. It was amazing from the start. The Captain and Crew were awesome and very personable. They were quick to help and easy to talk to. We got to see several Sea Turtles and even had a large female surface right next to us. The amount of fish we saw was crazy. The water felt amazing just floating and soaking in the experience.
On the way back we enjoyed some drinks and they took us for a ride down the coast line towards Diamond Head. The views were spectacular.
I highly recommend this if you’re staying in Waikiki.
This cruise was lovely! The 2 attendants on the boat were amazing. Super fun and personable, constantly making sure everyone was having a good time. The views were amazing! Highly recommend for a fun date night or group!
This was one of our favorite activities in Hawaii! The expert crew was awesome, friendly, and very helpful. We will definitely book this tour again on our next trip to O'ahu!
Totally recommend you do it. Yes hard work but worth it at the end.
The Diamond Head hike was absolutely unforgettable—a perfect blend of adventure and breathtaking views. The tour was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish, thanks to our awesome bus driver, Moko, who brought the perfect mix of local knowledge and good vibes. He made everything easy, from pick-up to drop-off, setting the tone for a brilliant morning. Reaching the summit and taking in the panoramic views of Waikiki was the ultimate reward—definitely a highlight of the trip
If you’re thinking about hiking Diamond Head, don’t miss the sunrise walk—it’s the best!
This was one of our favorite days on vacation going on the catamaran with my kids snorkeling and seeing Sea turtles.
I was worried my kids would be to little but everyone on the boat was so helpful and we had the best time ever!
We had so much fun! The crews are very friendly as well. The pick-up location is very easy to find.
Monoa was a great friendly experience. Kids felt safe and comfortable. The crew was amazing, patient and very supportive. I would recommend for anyone with kids. We saw tons of fish, turtles and sea life.
