From pick up point to going home, the tour was incredible.
On arrival there was time to look at the other attractions such as the farmer's market, the petting zoo (get to pat a tortoise?)
I would say our guide had to be really good, if not, it is hard to appreciate locations (especially they are just views, really). Our tour guide would make up 85% of the tour.
This tour is recommended if you are a movie/TV fan.

We arrived early so the receptionist said they could fit us in sooner than our appointment so we agreed. It was fine at first once we got on the boat but my excitement started to fade once he started fitting me for my harness. I am a plus size female but the harness “fitted” to me was way too big. It won’t be apparent until we’re in the air, unfortunately. I did the experience with my mom since we came to Hawaii for her 55th birthday. Once in the air, it was very obvious my harness was way too big. If I didn’t hold on for dear life, I would’ve probably fallen back. I didn’t feel safe or secure. The whole experience caused me undue stress & anxiety especially since we were at 1000 feet. The guys on the boat were nice, no complaints about them except for the fact they dipped the other participants 3 or 4 times while they only dipped us once in the ocean. When we docked, I told the receptionist & she dismissed my concern. Not happy with the harness sizing; the one dip in the ocean AND how my concern was handled. I wouldn’t recommend this company. Go with another company!

So fun! This is one of my favorite boats. I liked that it had a covered cabin area for those who wanted to get out of the sun for a bit. The start time mid-morning was great to have a bit of a sleep-in. We headed out to Turtle Canyon, about 5-10 minutes sail from the shoreline. The snorkel gear and fins were good quality and we saw TONS of turtles!! After snorkeling for about an hour, the crew sailed the Waikiki coastline to Diamond Head and we had lunch while we sailed. This one also comes with 2 drinks. The boat was pretty spacious so we had room to move around. Overall, great experiences & great crew!!

100ft underwater. We saw turtles, fish, sunken ships, and sunken planes! Visibility on the day we went was crystal clear and we took tons of photos. I went with my good friend and she brought her 4-year-old. He absolutely loved it!! One thing though, the shuttle boat from shore to the submarine drop zone can be really windy. I packed a jacket which the kiddo was glad that I need since it got a little breezy. Once we were in the submarine, it's fully air-conditioned so I'd have a light jacket if you get cold easily.

Jurassic Valley. Kualoa Ranch is GORGEOUS. We did both the zipline and the e-bike in the same day. Loved the zipline! All ziplines were side-by-side so we could take photos/video of each other the entire time. There's a bit of short walks/hikes between some of the zipline platforms but nothing too extensive.
I would recommend bringing a GoPro with a wrist strap + carabiner so you can clip it onto your zipline harness and not worry about accidentally dropping or breaking your phone.

This tour was a blast! We had previously done the ATV Raptor and this follows a similar route. I really liked how QUIET the electric bikes were. It was stunning being inside this 4,000 acre area and seeing all the sights but not having to hear a super loud roar of the ATVs. We did the "Novice" tour which was 2-hours and had plenty of stops at the movie site sets too to take photos.
Overall, great tour! Our tour guide was also really knowledgeable and friendly.

Yes, it's early. But, we LOVED the early sail. Less boats on the water and calmer ocean conditions. If you're looking for a unique cultural experience, this is it. We did the morning cruise and were the only 2 guests on the boat which was really cool. The boat limits capacity to 6-guests. As a local resident, I really liked how the two main hosts of the cultural experience and the Captain were Kamehameha graduates. This boat also offers midday cruises and sunset. Overall, the morning sail was calm and one of the truly unique sails here on Oahu.

Great way to see a lot in 1 day! We flew over from Oahu to Big Island and spent the entire day learning about Volcanoes National Park. Akaka Falls was gorgeous too!
We did the land tour and helicopter combo. Unfortunately, the helicopter tour cancelled because of weather. We joined the rest of the group who was doing the land-only option and saw a few really cool spots including Liliuokalani Gardens and other parts of Hilo town. I wore comfortable shoes (running shoes) and am glad I did because we did quite a bit of walking.

Tasty buffet dinner! The food was DELICIOUS. I really liked the variety of food - and dessert options! While I'm not vegetarian, I did notice there were a few vegetarian options - including the fried rice (my favorite). There was some hula dancing for the first part of the dinner and we could join in for hula lessons. I liked that this was an outdoor dinner BUT there was a covered tent above us in case of any rain.
And, it did end up raining. Lucky for us, the covered tent kept us nice and dry. Then, we headed inside to the indoor theater where we saw the Vegas-style impersonators for Elvis, Michael Jackson, and a local performer.

I had tried to go on this tour previously for the flight school but it cancelled. This time, we opted for the scenic flight. The experience was pretty cool - and really immersive especially if you have an interest in aviation.
It was really rainy and we had called a couple times on the way to the airport to see if the flight was going out. The cloud cover was pretty low on the northeast side so a lot of the mountain view was obstructed. Overall, pretty cool tour but wish the weather cooperated with us!
Would go again for the flight school option!

LOVED this catamaran! I had been on this same catamaran previously for their Turtle Canyon snorkel cruise so I knew I would like the boat. I liked that the boat check-in was here in Waikiki at the Hilton Village making it super convenient. This saves some transit time from going to some of the farther harbors (i.e. Kewalo Basin Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, etc.). We spent the best day just hanging out at the beach then just walked over to the Port Hilton kiosk to check-in.
I also liked the later departure time than most other sunset cruises so we could have a full beach day and still have time to hop on the catamaran. The dinner was a smaller portion prepackaged & more like appetizers than a full-on dinner. The drinks were tasty & buying more beyond the 2 included was $2/each - not a bad bargain. Since we were on the Hilton's pier, we were super close to the fireworks and were coming into the Port Hilton just as the fireworks were going off.
If you get cold easily, I would recommend packing a windbreaker or light sweater. It doesn't get cold here but it does get VERY BREEZY on the water at night once the sun goes down. I had a super light windbreaker which I didn't actually have to even use until about 1.5 hours into the cruise.
Overall, great cruise! So much fun!

Sharks!! Yes...SHARKS. And yes, you CAN see them from the boat. It's wild to see such majestic creatures in their natural habitat. You go a few miles offshore for this trip so it does get choppy. We did an early morning tour which has calmer ocean conditions than the later tours. And I am so glad we did! We only had a super light breakfast before going out (think a bit of fruit, light bites only).

8 ziplines, 2 rappels, and 3 sky bridges. This course has the longest zipline on Oahu with one of the zips being 1/2 mile long. I loved having ocean views throughout the ziplining experience. There were water stations throughout the course. We did the afternoon zipline and I'm so glad I wore plenty of sunscreen! Prepare to work up a sweat as you go throughout the course. There's stairs for some of the zipline platforms. Overall, really nice ocean views, friendly staff & had a blast!

This experience really shows off Oahu's beauty! My boyfriend and I reserved a 4 hour time slot and kayaked out the sandbar. We had as much fun getting to the sandbar as we did at the actual sandbar. Snorkeled around a nearby coral reef and saw a huge sea turtle. Kayaked around the sandbar a little more before heading back and saw 5 other sea turtles. I hear that's pretty rare though. Don't bring towels because they'll get soaked anyway on the kayak and bring lots of sunscreen and hats!!
Aloha Natalia! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to post this awesome review and pictures! That is great and we really appreciate it! Stoked to hear you had such a great experience and that the turtles cooperated for you! Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

一人での参加だったが十分楽しむことができた。私はSUPとカヤックとシュノーケルをしたが、全てサンドバーにいる時間内で料金に含まれているので、そういったことも気にせず満喫できた。船内にはステージがあってミュージシャンもいて、ポップスフォークからハワイアンミュージックまでサンドバーまでの行き帰りの時間もめいいっぱい楽しむことができた。私が参加した時は日本人が3人しかいなかったが、日本語で説明をしてくれたり、おもてなしの心を感じた。海亀やイルカと遊泳をしたかったので、それについては別途オプショナルツアーを申し込み、ダイビングこそしなかったものの、十分に海を満喫することができた。参加日時は潮位を確認し出来るだけ潮位が低い時を狙うべき。私の参加時は膝上くらいの潮位だったが、サンドバーの綺麗さには見入るものがあった。
