This is a family run business. They are experienced and care for your safety, rebooking if the wind picks up without any extra fees. They make it fun for everyone with music and photos. Definitely recommending the 1000ft experience for families. Even the kids had a blast!

It was super fun, staff was really nice, offered to take our family photos on the deck. My family thoroughly enjoyed it. It rained little bit during the jet ski but didn't interrupt us as we were in water anyway.

I think overall I had great time with parasailing, the view from top was awesome. We had two issues, first issue, we were the last family to do parasailing and they cut short our time in the air <6 minutes, (yes I timed ours, compared to first family) so they did not manage time well even though they advertised 8 mins from start to finish. second issue, photos we bought from them did not open on my computer and when I tried on another computer there were no photos at all, just wasted my money :-(. Next time, I would choose different parasailing vendor for sure.

We had 2 adults and 2 little kids. We saw whales within the first 20 minutes and they continues to follow them. The staff was highly engaging and very informative during the trip. This is not a stuffy pre-canned trip, the staff really made it an enjoyable time and you can tell they love what they do.

This was a highlight of our 10 day vacation in Hawaii on 3 different islands. The valley is simply breathtaking and our 3 teenage boys had a blast. We took the UTV version and really enjoyed it. We loved our guides too. They were so much FUN!! We had a great time on the Jurassic park movie set (we were all in for the posing).

Great time and experience, did all 6 villiages and most of the activities and/or performcances. All very insightful and interesting in their own way with each of the 6. Would easily go back again and do it all over. Everyone there was helpful and always asking if you needed any help or to answer questions in general. Great for the family or take your date. Show in the evening was outstanding as well.

We loved Captain Jesse, Aaron, and Seanna! They went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best experience possible. Thanks to them, we were able to see 2 males showing dominance over the other, and 1 baby calf fooling around. On the boat, it was very spacious and the service was phenomenal. Would recommend 10/10.

The workers were knowledgeable, friendly, and very welcoming. Getting into the water was easy and straightforward, and the kayaking itself was very fun. We went to the outer coral areas and then went all the way back over to the sandbar area. Generally for snorkeling, I recommend just sticking to the coral areas - there are a number of islands on the east side. The sandbar doesn't have too much going on, plus there are more people.
Aloha! Sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much for taking the time to leave awesome feedback for us. We really appreciate that! Glad to hear it sounds like you had a great kayak and snorkel experience with us. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

Great tours, did three tours, the Jungle experience, movie tour and Farm tour. Everything was well organized including the included lunch. The bus picked us up at the hotel right on time and drooped us off back at the hotel. All the guides were very informative and allowed ample time to see all the sights that had stops.
Would highly recommend Veltra as we did 2 different tour with them during our visit including the Island circle tour

Great show, delicious food, great location, authentically-cooked pork
Aloha to the Marino Family,
Thank you so much for choosing to spend an evening with our family at Germaine's Luau on your recent vacation. So happy that you enjoyed our show and our "local style" food, especially our "imu" cooked Kalua pua'a, or the pig, cooked in our underground oven. We are one of the few luaus that actually cook the pig in the old Hawaiian style of cooking. We appreciate you taking time to send your feedback. Hope you and visit us again in the future! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau Ohana.

Lasted way longer than we were told. People were lined up to get off an hour before we docked. The meal was tasty but not filling. The entertainment was great and the dancers were absolutely amazing. The staff of very friendly and Overall it was a good experience just not something I would do again. If you get motion sickness I would think twice about this I saw many people spend the entire cruise in the bathroom.

All in all this was a great experience. It would have been even better with more interaction with the crowd.
Aloha Becky, Thank you for your feedback, and sorry you felt there wasn't enough interaction with the crowd. With all the Covid guidelines in place, there are several interactive segments in the Luau format that we can't do right now due to social distancing. Those are the segments when we invite guests on stage to learn the Hula, and also the Tahitian segment but we couldn't do that when you attended. We are looking forward to getting back to our normal format, so I hope you can return one day to experience our luau once things get back to "normal"...We appreciate you choosing Germaine's Luau as a fun activity to do while you were on vacation here. Mahalo, Germaine's Luau Ohana

The 2-hour ATV tour was amazing. I was initially worried due to the rain but it enhanced our experience. It was fun to drive through the puddles and see the sights. Our guides Ethan and Nui (not sure of the correct spelling) were super friendly, funny, and made the experience worthwhile. The tour did not feel rushed and they took pictures for everyone. I highly recommend Kualoa Ranch, specifically the ATV tour, for anyone visiting Hawaii. The staff are amazing, the sights are breathtaking, and the experience is absolutely unforgettable. I cannot speak on behalf of the other activities at the ranch but the ATV tour is definitely worth the price!

My family and I had a good time. The two guys were attentive, and knowledgeable. The only thing is the pictures- we were a part of 6 and the pictures that I got were the same over and over again. The pictures are not worth it. Also I would advise to give dramamine to anyone in your party with the most minimal motion sickness.

Germaine's Luau was very entertaining for my family and I. However, there was a lot of sitting around and waiting for things to happen. We were met with a mediocre box of lettuce and fruit to start with, there was some entertainment and then 1.5 hours later we were able to get other food; buffet style. The food was delicious but by the time my kiddos were fed, they were cranky and had enough. I am happy to say that I have been to a Luau and experienced the food and entertainment.
Aloha Family of Five, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize that your family had to wait so long for your dinner. It has a lot to do with the strict guidelines in place from our State Government that we have to follow, from the Check process, to how we serve the food, and it all takes time. I hope you were able to enjoy the scenery by the ocean, perhaps the beautiful sunset! I'm happy that you enjoyed the food as a luau should also be relaxing and entertaining...away from the hustle and bustle of the resort area. Thank you for choosing Germaine's Luau, and hope you will return to our island again, when we get back to normal. Mahalo, Germaine's Luau Ohana

Kayaking was fun but it was a little disappointing to find that the sandbar and related islands are all under water. The pictures showed a sandbar above water where you could exit the kayak and walk or play. In reality, the sandbars are 3-4 ft. under water. You can stand on them but you are just standing in the shallow water. According to the employee, the sandbars are under water most of the time - rarely are they exposed, due to tidal conditions. Need an extreme negative tide and the right time of the year to actually see sand. Would have been nice to know before we showed up for our trip.

Aloha Erin,
Thank you your feedback, I'm don't understand why you say didn't have time to socialize because there's usually time before the luau actually starts, when music is playing, the sun is setting, as well as during dinner time. However, I am happy that you enjoyed the food, and "information" I assume you mean the Luau show? Thank you for spending your time with our family at Germaine's Luau. Mahalo, Germaine's Luau Ohana
