Firstly, my stepmother, my sister, and I had SO MUCH FUN! We knew going into this that based on the price and other photos we saw of the tails that these would not come out looking like "realistic" mermaids.
They had a variety of stretchy fabric tails to choose from in various sizes and some to fit larger body types. You can tell the tails have been through the ringer a bit with stains and small tears but none of that showed in the pics.
Mickey was amazing! He was patient, funny, kind, and had many poses in mind. He used a gopro for all of the shots, taking mini videos for you to pull pictures from). The lagoon we shot at was a bit murky so couldn't really get that many underwater pictures.
We definitely got some good shots but I (a professional photographer including boudoir) had to give a lot of direction to him and to my family. I was also able to save/make a lot of the shots pretty due to photoshop. Otherwise there would have been lots of pics of us from overhead like my hair flip photos which should have been taken from much lower/straight on to get the full effect of the hair flip.
In no way was that Mickey's fault, though. I think the company mainly has men under their employment and mostly focuses on scuba diving so I can imagine none of the guys are vying to do the mermaid session and therefore make the youngest, newest employee do it. It's management/the owners that should consider having whoever does the mermaid experience have some photography training even if a cheap, online one. Mickey did AMAZING with the skillet he had and was an absolute pleasure to work with and be around.
At the end of the day, for the price, and the experience we'd definitely would recommend. Just know you're not walking away looking like a real mermaid with breathtaking photos. Lol.

I highly recommend this tour we had a great time , It was very informative and we saw so many beautiful places . Our tour guide Stephanie was awesome, she made the tour fun and added some extra stops that we really appreciated . I would say that the hike at diamond head was harder then I thought it would be, but the view are worth it .

Our Movie Sites Tour driver was fun, knowledgeable and just a cool guy. The checkout lady at Auntie Pat’s Cafe was so friendly and funny. The whole day from pick-up to drop-off went so smoothly. We originally booked without transportation as we were going to rent a car but latter changed and added transportation. Kualoa staff are so professional. Highly recommend any tour there.

we were provided with a good narrative as we visited the various iconic sights of the Hawaiin island. Enjoyed the sights and the tour director makes it most interesting.

まず遂行会社の建物に寄るところから始まりました
何のために寄ったのかよくわかりませんでしたが、入口で写真を撮っていただきデータをいただくことができました
日本でのハワイ展でレナーズのマラサダを頂く機会がありましたが、現地のマラサダはサイズが大きくてちょっとびっくりしました
味は相変わらず美味しいです
ハワイアンアイランドカフェ並びのお土産屋でも少し時間があり、気に入ったプルメリアの指輪を購入することができました
マカダミアナッツファームではガイドのゆきさんおすすめのドレッシングを購入しました
ガイドさんのおすすめ話はいろんな参考になるのでうれしいです
ガーリックシュリンプを頂くのは初めてでしたが、ソースの味が3種類選択できるのもうれしかったです
レモンペッパーソースを選択しましたがガーリック味より好みでした
カフクランドファームでは揚げバナナ春巻き?をいただきました
美味しかったですが、すでのおなか一杯です(笑)
ハレイワタウンでもシェイブアイスは長蛇の列でしたが無事購入する時間もあり、全体的に楽しく過ごすことのできる1日ツアーでした

The tour driver was great! He got us there and through the gate in a timely manner. However, if you are looking for serenity or a peaceful hike, you have come to the wrong place. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy. Had some younger individuals that thought we might all enjoy their music blaring.
This site would benefit from a timed entry system.

レナーズのマラサダ、カフクのガーリックシュリンプ、たくさんの観光名所に、ホヌも海から顔だしてくれて最高てした!
ただ、ガーリックシュリンプの後のフルーツ農園ではフルーツの試食出来たらよかったなーと思います。
あと、ガイドさんの説明が後ろの席だとマイクがこもっていてところどころ聞こえにくかったので、もう少し聞きたかったてす。
Mahalo!

気さくなマッカートニーさんがとても楽しませてくれました。レクチャーをうけながら高性能望遠鏡で星を眺めるのは想像以上にロマンチックで神秘的。とても感動しました。
土星のリングもくっきり見えてとてもかわいいかったです。月も望遠鏡に収まりきらないほど大きくクレーターもはっきり映っていてとても驚きました。
ミルキーウェイもこんなにたくさん星が集まっているのかとびっくりしました。肉眼では見えない星たちもたくさん見ることができました!
翌日からは星空鑑賞会で教えてもらった事を思い出しながらハワイの夜空を子供とゆっくり楽しめました。
望遠鏡に写った星の写真をメールで送ってもらいました。とてもいい思い出になりました。
Mahalo !

Hello Erika,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you and your family had a great time on the tour. The views of the ocean and mountains are something you need to see in person. Hope you had a great time in Hawaii and it was great talking with all of you.

Not too big so you can easily experience all the different Island Cultures and activities in 5 or 6 hrs. The Gateway Buffet has a lot of variety and has quality food, including desserts. The Ha; Breath of Life performance is outstanding.
Really enjoyed our visit

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

This tour gives you access to both Missouri and Arizona in just half a day, it is a reat tour to visit PH while in Waikiki.
Dear Kara, We are very pleased you were able to experience both exhibits and areas of Pearl Harbor on the same tour and that your Tour was left a positive impression.

ツアー毎のバスには他に日本人観光客はいませんでした。説明は全て英語でしたので内容は分かりませんでしたが何となくの雰囲気で感じていました。ジャングル探険では少し登山する機会があった所が良かったです。農園を巡るツアーは意外と一番興味深く楽しく体験できました。ここでしか見られない壮大な景色を見られて最高でした。

From the beginning to the end you truly feel like you are part of the family. The host has such a love for Hawaiian history and the desire to preserve every ounce of it. What a beautiful display of culture. The meal was more then anyone could hope for. If time would have permitted we definitely would have attended again.
Aloha Bert and Theresa! Mahalo for writing us this review. We're delighted that you enjoyed the luau and felt welcomed. Hope to see you again the next time you're on the island! Mahalo!

沢山の見どころと、ローカルフードが楽しめます。自分でこれだけ手配するとなることを考えると、とてもお得なツアーだと思います。ガイドのKanakoさんのキャラと気遣いも素晴らしく、1日中リラックスして参加できました。
朝は、レナーズのマサラダで軽く朝食、揚げたての温かいものを食べられて、とても満足でした。潮吹き岩に始まり、ハワイの見所を周遊しますが、Kanakoさんが、細かく楽しみ方や注意事項を言ってくれるので、とても助かりました。景色については、言葉で語るよりも、写真をご覧ください。
昼食のFUMIZのガーリックシュリンプは、期待をはるかに上回る美味しさ・・エビは大ぶりで食べ応えがあり、味付けのガーリックバターがご飯にしみ込んで美味しかったです。(食べるのは屋外のベンチなので、テーブルがちょっと汚いです・・)
最後のハイレワに着くころには、ちょっとお疲れでしたが、松本Shave Iceでクールダウン。選べるフレーバーの種類が多く、見た目にもカラフルです。味は、見た目よりも甘さ抑え目で、久しぶりのかき氷を楽しむことができました。ダウンタウン、チャイナタウンの通りながら、17:30ホテルに到着。おかげ様で、充実した1日を過ごすことができました。kanakoさん、ありがとうございました。

This was by far the best tour I have been on in a long time. Driver Danny was a wealth of knowledge and freely shared his experience of the island in a friendly and easy manner.
A small breakfast treat by the blow hole was unexpected, but was a great way to see the blow hole and beach.
Danny's suggestion of dole whip was spot on and I hope that makes its way to Australia soon. Yummmm

This Tour was an Excellent learning experience. The Tour Guide "Kimo" was super knowledgeable and entertaining!! We would recommend this tour to any first timers coming to the Island. The Tour was very helpful and informative which allowed us to plan where we wanted to spend our time on the island; because there is so much to see. This tour helped so much!!
