All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This is our first time parasailing and I admit, we were all nervous, but the captain and her crew made us feel safe by telling us all the pre-cautions we need to do. The ride to the take-off site was fun. The actual take off was smooth and the view from the top was awing. This is once in a lifetime experience and I am glad we did this. My 8 year-old son had a great time as well and want to do it again. Highly recommending this activity. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and not to forget the staffs who checked us in that were very accommodating and patient in answering all our questions.

We totally enjoyed having Lauren as our diving instructor who was very encouraging and knowledgeable throughout the entire time. The entire crew was very professional and the captain of the boat Winter was amazing also. We definitely recommend this place if you are interesting in scuba diving.

Due to being fully booked at the time of application, I had to make a change. I felt a bit anxious at the start, but participating was fantastic. Although we were a pair who couldn't speak English, the staff at the reception were very accommodating. Parasailing was amazing! If there's anything else, I would definitely like to participate again. Also, since I am a member of HGVCULB, I am considering staying at HGVC and using VELTRA for tours and activities.

申し込み時点で満席により変更を余儀なくしました。出だしでちょっと不安をよぎったのですが、参加して最高でした。
英語が話せない二人連れでしたが、受付の方が良く対応して頂けました。パラセイリング最高！また何かあれば是非参画したいです。また、HGVCULBのメンバーですので、宿泊はHGVC、ツアーやアクティビティはVELTRAさんにお願いしようかと思っております。

The greenery is the prettiest I’ve ever seen! Don’t focus on making it to the top and seeing the waterfall…the best part is the experience getting there!

I had such a good time parasailing as it was my first time doing it. Our captains were so friendly and funny during the ride. The pictures they took also turned out really great. This was a great experience for a great price.

The Tour was so much fun and I will definitely do it again!

Wouldn't miss this while on island! A truly unbelievable experience for my family and I!

Do not book sunset tour if you are sensitive to the feeling of weightlessness and sea sick. The driver makes the ship super super bumpy, which is unnecessary and they only care about the profit. I was feeling extremely unwell and asked if they could send me back and then continue the tour, but the driver kept ask me “do you want to cancel everyone” and kept saying I will have to pay for everyone’s tour. I will not do the parallel sailing so it should save them time to send me back but they just kept making fun of me with no empathy. After the trip I asked if I could get partially refund as a observer since I didn’t do the parallel sailing and saved them time and strength , which is reasonable , but they just denied my request.
I took other ship tours and all of them are fine, but this one is a immediately NO. Especially the driver said he could not understand my English made me feel kinda under a racist circumstances.

My husband and I loved it! The crew was amazing and they went over & beyond for us. We were lucky to be the only 2 people on the boat & have a private session. We want to thank you for an amazing experience, drinks and for letting us play the music we wanted! Thanks everyone!!! :)

Finally saw a turtle for the first time and learned all about the honu and how to be respectful!

This evening cruise was a great experience and we had so much fun! Highly recommend!

View was amazing. Great trip around the water. Would definitely do again.

Our guide got in water and spotted turtles and shared a lot of interesting information. We saw so many Turtles and close up. I got to hold a sea urchin. We also saw probably 4 species of fish, pretty. Staff, so friendly and fun, and kept the drinks coming.

It was such an enjoyable sunset cruise. The crew were so great and kind and FUN.

The crew was amazing, drinks were perfect and flowing, and the cruise itself was beautiful, we lucked out with a great sunset.

Great music, great drinks, great vibes, and great music

Always a fun time on this ride! Crew is super friendly and the captain is always playing great music.

Way to many people to really enjoy. Bouncing against everyone and the toilet didn’t work. Staff was great though. Kept everyone with drinks in hand and spirits high.

Super fun cruise and nice views over the water and waikiki

I had an amazing experience with my first dive ever! Zola & team made the whole experience very easy & remove any fear or doubt I had about diving. During the dive Zola made sure everyone was good and comfortable and made sure we got the most out of our experience by showing us local wildlife & the coral. i highly recommend I know when I go to Hawaii again I’m going to make sure I dive again. Thank you Zola for making such a great memory that will last a life time!!

Water was super choppy which was not their fault. Captain Junior was kind of a jerk. He was preoccupied with his phone and his smokes. While we road out to the spot, the intro was more about tips and rules than about the snorkel experience. I ended up tipping half of what I planned to tip prior to the trip. I would have liked a little more instruction on how to use the snorkel gear. I was told "it's pretty self explanatory." Bella was the life guard and pulled the anchor. She was a badass. Only had about 45 mins in the water and no time to enjoy "free drinks." Would only recommend if you know how to swim, snorkel, can pound drinks and are only looking for a cheap ride out to sea.‍♀️

This is well worth the cost which is very fair. The only slight initial upset was we were standing in the wrong line and by the time we knew the right boat was fully occupied leaving us with no seats. Most of the group were from a wedding party and much younger able to get in seating areas, we had to sit on bow which worried me but ended up being just fine. I just wish the boat hadn’t been quite so crowded. Some people our age may have been annoyed at the loud atmosphere ( people and music) but we found it exciting. It had been nearly 20 yrs. since we did this kind of activity and so glad we did. FYI-we are 56&60 yrs. young.

The crew, the view, the booze all top notch. Best cruise in town

This was such a great and fun experience! The staff was super friendly and helped us take photos. This is one of the best things we did while in Hawaii.

Best Value, most fun you can have on Waikiki! Given the fact it was Halloween eve, the boat was rockin costumes, the drinks were awesome and the sunset was spectacular. Captain and crew were fun and made everyone feel great. We were lucky the seas were very calm and the weather was perfect. This is a must do!

This is a nice quick activity for people interested in finishing whether your new or experienced. This can get real tippy on the waves so make sure you have anti-nausea just incase.

The small crew is great, fun and friendly, they're helpful and supportive.
We're used to some medium fish from rivers and lakes mainland, so these fish seemed small, but it was still fun fighting with some on the line, that's always the fun part.
However the water is so clear it's such a different experience.
They will teach you how not to get your weight stuck and how to get it out if you do, if not, they'll help you.

While moving from fishing spot to spot, we had dolphins swim along side our boat and saw a few turtles breach!!
Would love to see if there are bigger fish to catch depending on season but overall was fun, don't expect to be catching massive ocean fish though.


I do not recommend this for kids who either have not fished or are not interested in it before hand. It's fishing, there's a lot of waiting and patience involved, and most kids if they havnt fished before and know it's a waiting game, like on our tour will get bored within 10 minutes of holding a line and will either annoy the other guests or just simply won't enjoy it.

At first it we questioned ourselves on where to meet (no signs whatsoever) but it was exactly where the instructions said- beachfront in front of Duke Statue. Otherwise instructions were all very clear & easy to follow. Guys on our boat were friendly and super relaxed- could bring anything on the boat in terms of food and drinks. Boat ride was beautiful. Was a clear day so we saw a lot of turtles- got to spend lots of time on the water. Chill vibes all throughout just the way we like it. Had a blast for first time snorkelers!!!!

Wonderful crew! Immediately greeted with a welcome Mai Tai! They were not afraid to hit any big waves and played great music!

Absolutely amazing & affordable ! Drinks were great and the crew made it very welcoming ! Definitely will be doing this again !

My friends and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in Honolulu. The turtle swim was our first activity. It met all of our expectations and then some. The three men who took out out to swim made us feel very comfortable and we saw several turtles while snorkeling. The catamaran ride was exciting and the views of the island were breathtaking. This is a must activity for anyone visiting this island.
