The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!

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!

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.

This was a great hike. My husband and I aren’t expert hikers but found this to be enjoyable. The trail is very uneven but most trails are. Wear comfy shoes and take water to stay hydrated. It takes about an hour to get to the top and the views above Honolulu are amazing. We had time to take pictures and enjoy before heading back down. The driver of the shuttle was funny and made the trip even better.
Wear comfortable shoes and take water.

Fishing on a boat was my first experience, and it was incredibly fun!
In the clear waters of Oahu, I was able to interact with many fish.
From the boat, I had a wonderful view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
I caught two fish, but some skilled anglers caught 6 to 7.
Unfortunately, there were no dolphins, but on the way back, I encountered a sea turtle!
I think it depends on the weather, but the boat sways quite a bit, so those who are sensitive should definitely take motion sickness medication.
船での釣りは初めての体験でしたが、最高に楽しかったです!
オアフ島の透き通った海の中で、沢山の魚と触れあうことができました。
また、船上からはワイキキの街並みとダイヤモンドヘッドを一望することができ、とても素敵でした。
私の釣果は2匹でしたが、上手な方は6〜7匹釣れていました。
残念ながらイルカはいませんでしたが、帰り際にウミガメと遭遇しました!
天候によるとは思いますが、船はかなり揺れますので、弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
I think it's quite affordable to experience sea fishing at this price, especially with the rising cost of living! The captain can speak some Japanese, so I believe everyone can participate with peace
物価高騰の中、この値段で海釣り体験できるのはかなりお手頃だと思います!
キャプテンがある程度日本語が話せる方なので、みなさん安心して参加できると思います!

We went out on a very windy day, which did not do anyone any favors. Lots of sick tourists! But that could not be helped as the captain doesn't control the weather. The fishing was awesome! Every person caught a person, and the crew fileted one for us to take home. Lots of varieties of fish to be caught, and were caught.
Take you motion sickness pills! LOL

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!

On the day of the event, I arrived at the designated location mentioned on the voucher 20 minutes early, but no one was there. From past experiences, I had heard that they tend to be a bit loose with time, so I decided to enjoy a morning meal at a nearby café! Even after 10 minutes past the meeting time, no one showed up, so I started to worry. When I looked at what seemed to be the reception booth, I saw a notice! It said the NEW location is here! I hurriedly took a taxi and arrived just in time for the departure!
Seeing the green boat docked was a relief! However, when I tried to check in, I was told there was an oil leak and that the boat wouldn't be departing today... What?! I ended up just paying for the taxi and taking a walk along the coast! It was such a shame since it was a beautiful sunny day with no wind or waves, perfect for fishing! I really wished they had contacted us in advance if the meeting place had changed!
当日は集合20分前にバウチャー記載の指定場所へ行くも誰もいない。過去の体験談から時間にルーズ気味という情報があったので、優雅に目の前にあるお店でモーニング!集合時間10分過ぎても誰もこないので、心配になって受付らしき小屋を見ると何やら張り紙が!NEW ロケーションはここ!だと!!急いでタクシーで向かい出船時間ギリギリに到着!
緑の船が停泊しているのをみて一安心!受付を済ませようとしたところ、どうやらオイル漏れがあり今日は出船できないと言われました。。。何だと〜〜!!ただただタクシー代払って海岸を散歩しただけでした!
快晴で風も波もなく釣り日和だっただけに非常に残念です!まずは集合場所が変わったのなら事前に連絡が欲しかった!
Please be careful at the meeting place.

Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!

I arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, but there was one foreigner standing at the reception area, so I thought he was part of the fishing boat crew, only to find out he was a tour guest... As the meeting time approached, other guests started to gather, but the crucial fishing boat did not arrive. It finally showed up about 10 minutes after the meeting time...
There were a total of 4 groups (11 people) in the tour, and 2 of them were children. By the way, we were the only Japanese couple, and we couldn't communicate in Japanese at all, but we managed with some words and a translation app.
I wasn't looking at the clock, but the travel time might not have been more than an hour one way... I felt like we had more time for fishing because of that. The waves were high that day, and the boat rocked quite a bit... I took motion sickness medication just in case, so I was fine, but it could have been bad if I hadn't... The two kids who came with us both got sick, and their dad was resting indoors.
We caught a total of 4 fish (it seems like the other guests caught about the same), but the fish were around 20 centimeters and all had to be released, so we couldn't eat them on the boat... It seemed like they were trolling while moving to the fishing spot, but I wonder if everyone would get to enjoy the catch if a big one was caught? Since we couldn't eat the fish on the boat and couldn't communicate in Japanese at all, I rated it 4 stars.
集合時間の15分前に着いたのですが、受付場所に1人の外国人が立ってたので釣り船の人だと思ったらツアー客だった…
集合時間が近づくにつれて他のお客さんも集まってきましたが、肝心な釣り船の方が来ません。
集合時間から10分くらい経ってやっと来ました…
ツアー客は全部で4組(11人)で、うち2人が子供でした。
ちなみに、日本人は私達夫婦だけで日本語は全く通じませんが、単語と翻訳アプリで何とか大丈夫でした。
時計を見てなかったのですが移動時間は片道1時間も無かったかも…
その分、釣りの時間が長かった気がします。
この日は波が高く船はかなり揺れました…
念の為に酔い止めの薬を飲んでたので大丈夫でしたが、飲んでなかったらヤバかったかも…
一緒に行った子供達は2人ともダウンして、お父さんも室内で休んでました。
全部で4匹釣りました(他のお客さんも同じぐらいみたい)が、釣れた魚は20センチ前後で全てリリースされて船上で食べることは出来ませんでした…
釣り場に移動する際にトローリングもしてたみたいですが、大物が釣れればみんなに振る舞うのかな?
釣った魚が船上で食べられなかったのと日本語が全く通じないのがイマイチだったので評価は☆4つにしました。
I don't understand Japanese at all.
It may vary by day, but it can be quite rocky, so it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case.
You cannot eat the fish you catch.
Tips should
日本語は全く通じません。
日によると思いますが、かなり揺れるので念の為に酔い止めの薬を飲んでった方がいいです。
釣った魚は食べられません。
チップは船を降りる直前に、調理台?にある大きな瓶に入れます。

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!
