Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Awesome

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This activity was awesome. We did see a lot of dolphins and did manage to get some pics of the dolphins. The Captain was very knowledgable of where to spot the dolphins and turtles but we only saw one turtle. We saw the Black Pearl from the Pirates of the Caribbean and I thought that was interesting. I would definitely do this again!!

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Was good but.....

Reviewed by: Mike

It was my first time snorkeling and I was a little nervous yet excited. Our first site was really nice and the water was perfect. When we went off to see our second site where the dolphins hang out we were all disappointed to find that there were no dolphins. I really can't blame this on the crew. They did their best but to no avail. I suppose there is some risk involved that we may not see any dolphins since they are wild animals and it is a big ocean. But overall I had a nice time.

Ko Olina Snorkeling Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Picnic Lunch and Drinks

Great Experience and Great Staff

Reviewed by: Alicia & Francis

My husband, 7 month old son, and I had a great experience with this activity during snorkeling and snuba. We got lucky, and one of the guest/crew members watched our son (who mostly slept) so we had the opportunity to both go together for the snorkeling and snuba. The catamaran we took was a great ship. The crew was very accommodating, nice, funny, and took care of everyone, including a woman who lost her camera in the water, and when my hubby got a little overwhelmed in the beginning during snuba. The food was okay, but definitely helped after a good amount of time time in the water. I would defintely do it again. The great crew actually made a huge difference too!

Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

Awesome Hawaii activities

Reviewed by: sriwats

We had booked Atlantis submarine adventure with Hawaii activities for the thanksgiving weekend and we were not disappointed. Right from the ease of booking to getting us to the event on time everything was as smooth as it could get. I had booked several other events through Hawaii activities including parasailing, Magic of Polynisia show and Polynesian cultural center luau and everyone of them was memorable. Had a chance to deal with one of the most professional and Courteous staff from Hawaii activities who made sure that this was our best vacation.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

HIGHLIGHT OF MY TRIP

Reviewed by: TCheesman

When I first started planning my Hawaii trip, this was the NUMBER 1 adventure I wanted to do. How often do you get to say... 'yeah, I swam with sharks'. Now amount of words can describe how amazing, thrill seeking, over the top this adventure was...but I'm going to try. I first want to commend the staff of Hawaii Activities. For the first time in 11 years, the boat broke down the day i was suppose to go. Just my luck But the staff worked their magic and reschedule me and I was able to full-fill the highlight of my trip. It was SOOO unbelievably easy too because they make all the accommodations for you. Once at the boat site, you jump on and set off. I would recommend the earliest time available. The earlier, the smoother the waves FYI. So once out there, you are just in awe. There are sharks. AND you are about to get in a cage surrounded by them! I was so scared but this is something I knew I had to do. So i sucked it up and the moment you put your head under the water.... you are stun

My husband and I took our 16 year old daughter for the Royal Dolphin swim at Sea Life Park and it was just amazing!! She absolutely loved it and I would highly recommend it. She still raves to all her friends back here in Australia how awesome it was. A real treat was having the Wolphin and the Dolphin as part of her ride which was great and the photos that were taken will be treasured. thankyou.

Great Adventure!

Reviewed by: Rwillwin

The sea was angry that day, but the crazy eight crew pulled through! I have always wanted to swim with sharks and am so glad we were able to fit this in during wedding week. Despite the windy rough weather, the crew felt comfortable going forward with the adventure after deeming the conditions safe enough. They were very professional and provided great customer service and were very open in providing information. The water and cage were the most comfortable place to be on our adventure and the sharks provided a great show. The view was spectacular and we all survived. I would definitely do this again and recommend this to anyone considering this activity. Thank you Hawaiiactivities and Jessica for helping us decide on this adventure. Great job by all!

Ko Olina Snorkeling Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Picnic Lunch and Drinks

Had a great time...

Reviewed by: MrsL

Ko Olina is a gorgeous area, very picturesque with manicured grounds and on the early morning tour it's just lovely to drive through here with the sun shining. First thing I was really impressed with was the Catamaran, it's very large and luxurious, I couldn't wait to get aboard! They make you take your shoes off before boarding and they store them for you until you return, you can tell this keeps the vessel from wear and tear... it was lovely inside.
Seeing the Dolphins was amazing - they do get close, the boat wasn't moving and they would come quite close to us, we didn't have to follow them. A few were jumping out of the water less than 100 yards away, such a great experience.
The staff were polite, knowledgeable and helpful - they would offer to grab you a drink - you didn't have to ask, which was really nice for a change. On the first snorkeling outing, we all had to wear life vests. I'm a pretty confident swimmer but this was nice, I could actually really relax and enjoy the

Sea Life Park Hawaii Dolphin Experiences & Day Pass

Hello Sea Life

Reviewed by: sigridrose

Our family of three had a wonderful time at Sea Life. We enjoyed the attractions that we had ALREADY booked. Advanced booking is advised. This adventure is for pictures (that they take) and being able to touch the animals. One can have an other person with them to take family pictures and not participate. The swim with the sharks are for children that are not afraid of having a 75 pound helmet on their heads and going under the water with air in the helmet. The sharks are small and safe. The manta ray was more exciting in this tank. The dolphin experience of "kissing", "holding", and touching them was fun. although very short. The seal picture taking was also fun to be able to touch and hold the seal. The part where we interacted with the manta ray was extraordinary because the thought of being with this animal is educational. All in all -- a good experience that was worth all of the money we spent. The pictures were sold at a high price and when we tried to get a bargain to purchase

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

SHARK!!!!!!

Reviewed by: George

Didn't know what to expect, but knew what we wanted to see......SHARKS!!!!

And we saw at least 15 swimming around us. For those who didn't get in the water (like my wife), the guys running the boat did what they could to get the sharks to the top so they could see them, too. Nice that they thought not to leave those folks out of the adventure.

But the big thrill is being in the cage with all of those sharks all around you. We got terrific pictures with just the sharks and with us in the foreground and them in the back.

Great trip. We recommend it. P.S. take the early trips as the afternoons can get rough on the ocean.

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Awesome!!!!!!

Reviewed by: LaToia Marks

We got there really early and they were a little behind on check in but once tour started it was amazing!!! 5 min out from the marina we saw a pod of dolphins! This was too advanced to begin the tour swimming with them so we went to a snorkeling location so people could develop ocean legs. Good thing too cause some people didn't listen and were freaking out. Next we went looking for dolphin and got in the water twice to swim wiith them... It was incredible to see them swimming under you. We even saw a baby. The experience was so great the captain (Austin) found us another pod and we had another swim! In all we saw maybe 50+ dolphin! No turtle unfortunately but that many dolphin made it all worth it!!! Thanks John and Austin! Oh yeah the lady doing the lunch/snacks was very efficient and my Teriaki sandwich was really good!!! Would do this again in a heartbeat!!!

Nice trip but not great

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The crew were great, very helpful and entertaining. As far as seeing dolphins, yes we saw them, but as soon as we jumped in the water they swam away. The best view of the dolphins was from the boat. The additional snorkeling sites were just OK. Also, we froze once we came out of the water so I recommend getting the wet suit top at least. My wife did and she was comfortable.
I don't blame the crew for not getting to swim close to the dolphins, they did everything that they could to try to make it happen.

Booked the wrong tour

Reviewed by: bill.cole@dragonplasticsi

The sub was great, the staff were great. Bookings.com suck. They reserved us on a Japanese only tour. We could have changed but it would have been the next day. Took the verbal portion away. we had headphones that would explain it in english but not so good with the main staff speaking to the group in Japanese. I have a 5 and 8 year old so it made it more difficult for them. Make sure you confirm what the booked you for !!

We had a problem finding the dock where that particular boat went out. There should have been a dock # or a sign that said where it was. We waited at the wrong Shark Encounter dock because there was no sign. Otherwise, it was 5-star and highly recommended to everyone!

Great adventure...We could see many sharks may be 40-50 or even more...
Just be careful and try NOT to eat anything before coming to this activity as there are high chances of you puking after u are done and also u might feel like relaxing the rest of the day ...so donot plan something very important on the same day...

Though very exciting...I personally felt it is little dangerous too...
Staff did assure us the safety and told us they have been doin this since 11 years and not even a single person was hurt by a shark so far....which is gud

North Shore Shark Dive

Reviewed by: Tok2me64

Considering this is my 2nd submission I will repeat it because it was so fun! I talked my brother into doing this activity with me so when he agreed I was excited. First of all the capt and crew were super cool!! I am a straight out Claustrophobe and was nervous about the snorkel and mask having never used them but after I gained my bearings it was awesome to see we were surrounded by one of earth's most feared predators. There really was nothing to fear but I had been secretly hoping for a Great White drive by but accepted the sharks we were surrounded by. It was phenomonal to be in their domain as spectators. Overall it was a very cool activity that I would definitely recommend to all, minus the fact that after being the first cage down the remaining time was left with me hanging my head over the railing and counting the minutes until our return to shore. What good is dramamine I ask?
Thanks again for the ride.
