Maitai Catamaran Fun Sunset Cruise with Open-Bar from Waikiki Beach

Sunsets and Mai tais

Reviewed by: Emmy

Had a fabulous time with my group of friends! We're all in our 30s and thought this was one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip. The Mai tais were delicious but they also offer beer and white claw as well and it's AYCD. Staff was super friendly, felt very safe on the catamaran, and the views of the water and the sunset were absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend!!!

Awesome time. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The water bag was crucial for keeping everything dry. It was about a 45 min paddle out to the sandbar but totally worth it. It’s a must do.

Hawaiian Parasailing Tour & Adventure from Waikiki Beach [800ft & 1000ft Lines]

Friendly Crew, Fun Ride

Reviewed by: StevenH72

Hawaiian Parasail was a very fun experience. Starting with the boarding, the two-man crew was very friendly and helpful in getting everyone situated comfortably. The ride out was cool and gave a great view of the city. During the ride, our guide was great at striking up conversation and getting us in our harnesses and life jackets. At first I was given one that closed, but fit too tightly and he offered a larger one to ensure I was as comfortable as possible. Once it was time to get up in the air the crew secured us and the ascent was very smooth. The ride was a nice experience. It was a lot calmer and quieter than I expected, but it was still fun. Before going up, we were asked if we were ok with being dunked into the water and we said yes. The dunk was a really nice addition and we're glad we didn't say no like some in our group did. They also offer pictures for purchase. It is $30 which at first sounded pricey, but that is the price for the entire SD card and the photos don't come with any watermarks or logos, so I think $30 was a good price for the 98 pictures we got. Overall, I would recommend this.

Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour with Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Best experience of my life!

Reviewed by: Natasha

This was an awesome experience! I saw so many turtles, which was my only goal in Hawaii. I also saw dolphins in a distance. The guys on the boat were awesome! One of the divers dove down with my camera and took pictures for me of the turtles up close with a respectful distance.

I, sadly, also got seasick on the boat. I had no idea I would get that sick. The hosts were so helpful without making me feel embarrassed. They kept checking on me, bringing me water and lavender oil which helped a lot for the sickness.

I also loved that they were respectful of the turtles as you will get fined if you touch a turtle in Hawaii. They made us keep our distance from the turtles which I really respect and love about Hawaiin culture. They actually care about the Earth and animals.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Ivy! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review for us. I am glad to hear it sounds like you had a very good experience with us, but I did want to point out that a 1-star is actually the worst score possible in their rating system. I was really concerned when I saw that we had received a 1-star review, but then was relieved to read your review and hear that it sounds like you had a good experience. I don't know if you're able to change it now, but if so, 5 stars would be the best possible score, 1 star is the worst. But no matter what, stoked to hear you had a great kayak and snorkel experience, hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!

Ko Olina Sunset Dinner Cruise with Cocktails & Snorkel Tour - Ocean Joy

Great crew, awful photographer

Reviewed by: Cece

The crew were friendly, but the photographer was no good. Don’t purchase the pictures. They are not worth it. She basically only took pictures of u on the boat, which u can also do with your own camera. When it’s time to go under water, the photographer was too busy snorkeling herself. We had to chase her down for some pictures, but it came out super blurry. At the end when the pictures package were emailed to us, it consists many Google under water sea life images. I’d recommend u bring ur own phone with waterproof pouch, the pictures will be so much better.

Saw lots of turtles and fish! Boat was clean, safe and well staffed. Bring a hat and lots of sunscreen. Crew of 5 and it was easy to get equipment on and ready. Our group had about 33 which was a lot - made for close quarters at times and a line at the stairs. Crew was quiet and all business … they were likely sick of tourists at this point. Beautiful pictures and scenery. Really nice catamaran.

Great experience

Reviewed by: cwest1212@yahoo.com

This was an awesome experience Michael and Myah made our time so unforgettable! They were fun, encouraging and engaging. They really knew how to make sure everyone was having a good time. The equipment was light weight and very secure. I felt safe the whole time, even as a first time zip-liner. I would suggest bringing sun screen and cash. They have bottled water for sale so it’s a good idea to bring your own, if possible. Also, invest in the transportation if not utilizing rental car services during your vacation. The amount of an Uber or Lyft will cost the same if not more than the transportation that Crater Coral offers. Overall it was awesome and I will definitely be returning and recommending to all our friends!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Purely Awesome!

Reviewed by: Drew

The kayaking to the sand bar was one of the best experiences we've ever had. This is mainly because the sand bar itself was just an amazing experience. Then the coral reefs.... wow! Just wow! If you get the chance and the water is deep enough, kayak over them (but be careful NOT to touch them, even with the paddles) and you'll be treated to some beautiful and colorful eye-candy.

While the people checking us in and giving us instructions were friendly, the one thing that bothered us was the "nickel and diming". I mean, you'd think renting the kayaks would get you the usual... water proof bag, etc. BUT, you had to pay for the bag ($5) on top of the kayaks. Then want an anchor? Well, that'll cost you another $5. So that part sort of left a sour taste in our mouths.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Drew! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! Glad you had an awesome time out there. I am sorry to hear that you felt "nickel and dimed" by our process. We do have an all inclusive package that includes an anchor, dry bag, and snorkel gear. However, many people do not require or want a dry bag or an anchor, which is why for a la carte rentals those items are optional, and it's less expensive to rent the kayak without them. All necessary equipment is provided, but anchors, dry bags, and snorkeling gear are optional, or included in that all inclusive package. Hopefully that makes sense. Thank you again for joining us. Hope to see you again soon!

The crew really knew what they were doing. We sailed out toward diamond head and some dolphins swam along, then we sailed back into the sunset. They kept our drinks full and the mai tais were really good. Just be careful because the alcohol doesn't hit as hard when you're on the ocean, but will when you get off.

Don't worry if you cannot swim! The water is shallow and clear. The staff take time to prepare you with their instructions and tips on kayaking. It only took us 2 hours instead of the 4 even with switching passengers. Make sure you are wearing water shoes or flip flops at least.

Coral Crater Park - Aerial Ninja Adventure Tower, Freefall & Climbing Wall

Short activity

Reviewed by: mg. a. s

It is a good experience for novice individuals who has not had any climbing experience. I believe the description on the website should be more specific of the tower features, and exactly what the activity includes. My 12 year old son got so scared before they all even started that he did not want to continue so it was a loss only part ( I mean of what I paid for ). It was unexpected but I am sure it is inevitable that someone gets scared and cannot continue with the activity at all and I heard from the staff that it happens often where kids end up not continuing with the activity. It would b nice to have an alternative activity or form of refund or waived fee or transferrable to another ride or activity at Coral crate. We did other activities at Coral crate including Ziplining and ATVs so I really did hope we could have at least had some refund or waived fee/ transferred to another activity.
Also, there were a lot of bugs so be prepared. Part of the nature adventure )-)
