All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. It was a really fun experience. We got to see turtles and spinner dolphins! It was a great way for us to end our trip in Hawaii. It is recommended though to know swimming well if you want to snorkel as the life jackets are not buoyant enough to keep you afloat.

Family of 5 had a great time. Crew was very nice and knowledgeable and made the experience even better. Beautiful turtles and fish.

I get this on every tour, but newbies need instructions on how not to be rude. Don’t flip in my face. Stop swarming at me, and please… there is no reason to flail your appendages rampantly for no reason when there are 50 swimmer right next to you. Please explain this to swimmers before hand. In fact, in a small area, there is no reason for flippers. This would have been much more enjoyable if no one had them.

Turtles were neat. I would not tell anyone else if you see one because everyone swarms and hits you in the face/gut/you name it, as they flail to see it.

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 9yr old and 6yr old). Instructor was very patient enough to guide us how to snorkel. He provided us some tricks to make snorkeling easier for beginners. He was always there to help us out and made us feel comfortable. Except for my spouse everyone else in the group are non-swimmers, the instructor helped us navigate through the water, and to top it he took amazing videos of us while snorkeling :)

The was the BEST parasailing we’ve ever done - and we’ve done several on both coasts of the mainland and different islands. Although the seas were a bit rough, the parasailing was outstanding. The captain and crew of Freedom were gems. My son said he would give them a 6 out of 5 stars - lol.
Definitely go for the 1000 feet! The windy day really had us flying well above any of the competition.
Will do this one again on our next visit.

There are Red, Green, Pink, Blue, and Purple options, but due to the year-end or perhaps the impact of COVID-19, currently only Red, Pink, and Blue are available. It's a strange conversion method where instead of being valid for four consecutive days from ticket exchange, you can use four days within a one-week period. The three lines mentioned above can take you to classic tourist spots and shopping centers, so I think it's great for first-time visitors to Hawaii. The vehicle is always ventilated with the windows open, and both the driver and ticket staff were friendly and nice.

レッド・グリーン・ピンク・ブルー・パープルとありますが、年末のせいかコロナの影響か、現在使えるのはレッドとピンクとブルーのみです。不思議な換算方法で、チケット引き換えから連続4日間ではなく、1週間の期限の中で4日分使えるというシステムとのこと。上記3ラインはオーソドックスな観光地やショッピングセンターは回れるので、初ハワイの方には良いかと思います。車内は常に窓を開けて換気対策をしていますし、運転手の方やチケット担当の方はみなフレンドリーで良かったです。

There was an instructor who spoke Japanese, and although there was only one Japanese person, I was able to have a great time. However, there are blocks in the water near the beach that are hard to see from above, so while I could stand, I bumped my legs on the way back and scraped both knees, which was painful. The shop lends long-sleeved rash guards, so my upper body was fine, but those participating in shorts need to be careful about sunburn as well.

日本語の話せるインストラクターもいらっしゃり、日本人ひとりでしたが楽しく過ごすことができました。ただ浜辺近くは上からは見えにくいブロックが海中にあるため、足は着くものの戻る際に足をぶつけて両膝とも擦りむいて痛い思いをしました。お店が長袖のラッシュガードを貸してくれるので上半身は大丈夫ですが、短パンで参加される方は日焼け対策含めて注意が必要です。

I took my daughters and one of their friends out for diving experience. Even though the instructors tried and tried to help them they couldn’t seal their mask and became sea sick. This was no fault of the dive instructors or dive company. My daughters still had a good time snorkeling.
My daughter’s friend and I dived and enjoyed the experience. Make sure you tip the instructors and captain well, it is a lot of work to make this adventure happen and they deserve it.!

Overall a great experience worth the money to go 10000ft above Waikiki. The crew were professional, but really friendly and help to boost the mood. They are hilarious and really try to get to know you better. Do note that photos by the crew cost an additional 30 dollars.

The crew made it so fun. We had kids and adults and it was appropriate for everyone!

The crew from Moana Catamaran were awesome, laid back, and super helpful the entire experience! The classic island music, the weather, the catamaran.. all the vibes were perfect!

We saw a couple schools of Dolphins on the surface (which I believe is NOT common, so keep that in mind if you book!) and saw about 8-9 sea turtles during our time in the water. A few of them hung around the whole time and swam towards us so close we had to swim away to give them the distance they need.

The crew gave us everything we needed- snorkels, fins, and a floaty to make things super easy for our time in the water. I really enjoyed that it was a waist floaty and not a neck inflatable one like some of the other boats out there. Made it much more enjoyable.

Overall, we were mesmerized by the turtles and the fish / sea life that surrounded us, and had an amazing crew to take us to it. 10/10, 5/5, whatever you want to take from this. My wife said this was "the most amazing experience of her life", and I might even agree. :)

Thanks, Moana Catamaran, for an incredible experience.

Great excursion; it fit perfectly into our last day on the Hawaiian Islands. The crew was great. Matt, Jeff and Jay were very accommodating helping celebrate our mom's 80th birthday!

We had a great time on the sunset cruise! It was a beautiful night to be out on the water and the staff were very kind.

If you are looking for a sunset cruise, choose this one. My family (all adults) had a blast! We loved that this was a smaller catamaran. Crew is fabulous & the music was great. Definitely would go again.

We had an awesome time! The crew was very friendly and helpful. They made some wicked drinks too! We will definitely do this cruise again when our family and friends visit again next time.

This was an amazing experience! All the staff members were amazing and attentive! If you’re looking for thrill get front row seats in the splash zone (the front of the boat). You will not be disappointed. The drinks were spot on, the music was great and the view was beautiful! 10/10 recommended!

From the moment you step on the pier the staff of Spirit of Aloha was upbeat and fun! We felt welcome and safe but new we were in for a good time. The drinks were simple but tasty and they didn't skimp. The food that was included could have been a little better, simple chicken breast sandwiches on rolls but you're there for a boat ride and booze! Checking in could have also been a little more organized. Overall I definitely recommend this outing on anyone's visit to the island!
A few of the families had a hard time managing their kids so one suggestion I might give to Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Sunset Cruise is hosting at least one adults only, 21+ cruise.

Everyone involved in the parasailing was super personable and engaging! Noemi and Rachel at the shack were super nice and relatable during check in and for the pictures! Diego and the captain made sure we were all good before and after the excursion! We were normally supposed to go up to 1000’ but because a few customers did not show up the captain let us go to the max height of 1200’!! Super cool! Would definitely go again!

Thank you so much we had a fun time.
The crew were fun and friendly. Fortunately for us the weather was perfect too.

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!
