Hilton Waikiki Beach Front Luau & Fireworks Show - Friday Night Exclusive!

It's more for the experience

Reviewed by: Alissa

We got the premium tickets and actually got sat front and center which was great for our kids (4, 6 & 8). That also meant though that one side of the table was blinded by the sun for the first part of the show until the sun dipped below the trees (small price to pay for front and center). We didn't realize that with the premium tickets even the kids got extra drink tickets that could be used for juice or alcohol. My kids were never going to drink that many juices so we used them to get a few extra Mai Tai for us...but word of advice if you wait for the server to get the drinks you will never be able to get through your tickets because they are split between so many tables so grab them from the bar yourself. The show was great my kids especially liked the fire dancers. The food was just ok but we expected that as it's hard to serve that many individual plates at once. The only thing my kids would eat was the shredded pork and fruit so if you have kids who are picky eaters make sure they eat a little something before hand.

Reviewed by: Anon*

The employees were very kind, funny and made the experience great overall! My friend didn’t know to keep his knees bent so he ended up sitting uncomfortably while parasailing. Sort of wish the guys warned us or made it more clear to keep the knees bent but overall it was fun

This was such a great excursion for my parents and I. It was beginner friendly and the crew is super nice, informative, and welcoming! The turtles were awesome to see up close and the drinks (!!) were a great bonus. Would definitely recommend them to any visitors who haven't gotten a chance to see the wildlife of the island.

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Faustine

This experience was so much fun! My husband and I did a 4pm tour, so the views and weather were amazing at that time. The actual time parasailing felt like 5 minutes, but any longer than that would have been too much for me anyway because we spent the whole time holding so tight onto those ropes! Overall, the experience was super fun!

Waikiki Fishing Tour in Honolulu - Oahu Group Adventure Where You Keep What You Catch by Blue Ocean

Good for the fishing experience.

Reviewed by: Jenn

Went on this fishing excursion on Saturday morning Aug 7, 2021. Boat was clean, poles were ready and all in working order, staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Maybe 5 fish were caught the entire trip out of everyone on board. On the way back one of the crew members said ‘I wouldn’t keep anything I caught here because it’s ‘dirty’ water’. If you’re looking for a fishing experience this is great as it’s just the right amount of time on the water and is family friendly. If you want to catch fish then this is not for you. My 12 year old had a good time so that’s all that matters.

Waikiki Sunset Canoe Sail with Hawaiian Dinner & Culture Activities - Kamoauli

AMAZING!!!! 5-Stars!!

Reviewed by: Onu

I highly recommend the Kamoauli Waikiki Sunset Cruise!

I was looking for something unique to surprise the love of my life while visiting the Island of O‘ahu. I came across the Kamoauli and I'm so glad I did! It was an amazing experience!!! We were able to sail during sunset and soak up so much Hawaiian culture. This was truly different than any other advertised cruise. It truly felt like we were in a different world. We got a chance to get away from the hustle & bustle of Waikiki and escaped to our own little paradise on the water. We felt a sense of peace. We danced, learned about the history of Waikiki and listened to beautiful music throughout the cruise. Did I say the food was authentic Hawaiian food and delicious! This was such a memorable experience and to be able to share it with the man I love was..... priceless! I love you R!

A huge Mahalo to the captain and crew!

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights

Must do!

Reviewed by: Traveler2028

We did the 800 ft parasail. I thought about going higher but when I did a hot air balloon ride it was the most fun we weren’t as high because when it’s higher it was quieter and you couldn’t see as much. We had so much fun! It was like we were a human kite! Even the people who said they were scared had fun. We went with friends and kids

Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

Amazing views.

Reviewed by: April

We had 8 people in our party for the sunset cruise. I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. From the captain, the crew and the boat. The views were amazing, the cruise lasted just about 2 hours. The crew really made the entire trip. They were fun, attentive and interactive. The boat had just the right amount of people on it so it didn’t feel crowded. They served food in containers so everything was very sanitary. The cruise comes with 2 free drinks, but if you are generous with your bartender they might just be generous back! It was a great time and I highly recommend this as part of your Waikiki visit.

Awesome Parasailing Experience

Reviewed by: Lynn T.

Great experience from start to finish. Our boat captain and photographer were awesome. We recommend purchasing the photo package (Sim Card) provided at the end of the trip. A word of caution: DO NOT BE LATE. Allow ample time to get to the marina and fill out waiver forms (30 minutes prior to your departure time). The boat will leave you behind if you are not there on time.

Oahu Two Tank SCUBA Diving Boat Tour for Beginner Divers - Waikiki Dive Center

Nice people, but prepare for motion sickness

Reviewed by: Jess

I really liked all the staff members there. They were very kind, nice, and try best for you. However, the equipment they use such as car or boat is very old and small, which made me have a severe motion sickness and I could not do scuba diving at all. Total activity lasts about 4 hours but you actually scuba dive for less than 45 mins in total (there were two dives) I think. You wait like an hour at the shop them preparing, take their van to go to harbor, wait for them to get ready at the boat.. I expected all the preparation should be already ready for us, but wasn't, which was fine I guess. Anyway, I personally wouldn't do it again, but my husband enjoyed and saw cool stuff, and seemed like other people also enjoyed.
