Had a blast and learned a lot!

Posted on: 2009/04/29

I went to PCC with my hubby and his family who are originally from Fiji. This was a lot of fun for my son and I and I learned quite a bit about my hubby's culture and the culture of surrounding islands.

The Samoan village was a lot more laid back than the other villages. They really try to get a laugh out of you. I don't remember the guys name... but he talked about his culture and he was making little jokes left and right.

The Fijian village was a lot more serious but just as fun. The did a lot of dances for us and even brought my mother-in-law on stage to dance with them. My son and I got fake Fijian tattoos that meant "warrior" and "queen" and since my hubby used to work at PCC we got a personal tour from him and his old boss.

The night show was very entertaining. Especially at the end with the Samoans brought the fire into the show.

I would definitely go again. We had a blast.

The kind of romance we were after..

Posted on: 2009/04/29

This was a very nice dinner cruise. It wasn't too long and it delivered on a great sunset.

The food was delicious too. We did the 1 Star package which came with crab legs, steak and mashed potatoes. Everything was better than I had expected it to be. It came with a complimentary Mai Tai which was also very good.

The Hawaiian music was good and the dancers were a lot of fun. My hubby and I got a really nice photo from them too.

I would recommend this to any couple looking for a little romance on their trip to Hawaii.

The BEST time I had in Hawaii

Posted on: 2009/04/29

This was my absolute favorite activity that I did in Hawaii. My husband and I were there for two weeks and did a lot and the ATV tour was by FAR our favorite.

The views from valley were unlike anything I had ever seen. If your looking for something to take your breath away Kualoa Ranch is where it's at. While there it was raining, which made it more fun. On that side of the island it rains a bit so be prepared for it. I believe they have ponchos there if you want them. But my hubby and I didn't and we got soaked which was fine by us.

Driving around in the ATVs was exciting. It was my hubby's first time riding one and he had a little trouble. But the instructors were friendly and took him under their wing a bit. After the two hours of amazing views and seeing all the wildlife they took us too a little field and let just drive around which was a lot of fun.

I will do this again on my next trip for sure.

Hawaii, Oahu

The captain was funny...

Posted on: 2009/04/29

The captain had a great sense of humor which made this activity more fun. He seemed to have quite a bit of knowledge in regards to Honolulu and Waikiki. Also, we seen a sea turtle while driving around in the sea which was pretty cool.

Pearl Harbor was also great other than part of it was under construction. But I went specifically to see the USS Arizona Memorial which was humbling. Being a military wife, it kind of tugged on my heart strings.

The only problem I had was the tour was a bit too long and I was constantly breathing exhaust either from the duck itself or from the traffic which gave me a headache.

Amazing!

Posted on: 2009/04/29

My husband and I did this activity with our 16-month-old son. And we all loved it. Seeing the excitement on my son's face was worth the money. Being able to touch the dolphins and seeing what amazing creatures they are was an experience I feel my family and I will never forget. They took our photo with the dolphin and a video and both were super expensive. We did purchase it because it was quite an experience.

Buster was our dolphin and Carly was his trainer and both were fantastic. We learned a great deal from the trainer and they brought out another dolphin that was in the movie "50 First Dates".

After the encounter we enjoyed the rest of the park. The dolphin show was just as great and I got some really great video too. All the shows they had there were a lot of fun. I would definitely go again.

Had a great time.

Posted on: 2009/04/29

This activity was a lot of fun. My husband went along with me as an observer. I got a lot of great pics. The price of the pics were a little too pricey. It was $30 for a disc of digital photos.

I did the "extreme" which was a lot of fun. They dunked me in the water twice and the view from the sky was beautiful. The guys on the boat had a great since of humor too. I plan on doing the jet ski activity on my next trip to Hawaii.

I would recommend this to anyone who isn't afraid of heights.

The hump back whales were amazing..

Posted on: 2009/04/17

My husband and I went on this trip and had a good time. I thought it was great seeing all the spinner dolphins and being lucky enough to see not one, but three hump-back whales at a fairly close distance. My husband thought it was a bit boring but to me it was relaxing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The boat was very clean. The ride was peaceful, the coastline was beautiful and the marine life was amazing. I would do it again but I would not recommend this trip for small children or toddlers because it is hard to keep an eye on both the kids and the action. Luckily we had a babysitter.
