Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations

Beautiful Fun

Reviewed by: MaryB

Our family visited the ranch October 2021. We did the movie tour and it did not disappoint! Our tour guide was friendly and full of knowledge. The ranch was absolutely beautiful and the gift shop had plenty of affordable souvenirs! We will definitely visit again to do different tours.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Matasa

This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a vacation. It was priced right, just the right amount of time, super amazing staff/guides, and the best value all around. The boat ride is peaceful and quick. The sandbar was amazing and gives you enough time to meet others or practice your snorkeling skills. Seeing the turtles was so exciting and plentiful. The actual snorkeling was really the highlight. It was absolutely beautiful. If you visiting Honolulu this is a must-do activity!

Perfect time. Sandbar was amazing. It was just super fun and relaxing. Snorkeling area was great too. A good amount of space to cover. Even some locals talk about this sandbar being a unique place.

Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula Show

Amazing Experience!

Reviewed by: Okie4Sure

My Family and I didn’t really know what to expect with this cruise; we picked the deluxe lobster and steak dinner…. We were thoroughly impressed all the way with the deliciousness of the meal to the entertainment and the Polynesian culture dances! The service was impeccable, the people were very friendly and the cruise was beautiful especially the view of Diamondhead! I felt like the ship was in great condition and looked very nice too! I highly recommend!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Educational and entertaining

Reviewed by: Barry

Great place to visit. Highly recommend going but honestly will next time rent a car or take an Uber and just pay at the park or on line for tickets. We went with buffet and stayed for the show. Things could get hairy at the end because the bus you arrive in may not be the same you head back on. There are multiple buses waiting and you have to ask each driver if they are going to your stop. We were very lucky to hit the right bus on the first try. Need a better system. Great place to visit with kids. Folks there are super friendly.

Oahu Lei Greeting Service at Honolulu Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace & More

Smile Activator

Reviewed by: Rose

I highly recommend this service!! It was the biggest smile I've seen on my husband in a long time! It was our 30 year anniversary Hawaiian trip and after that long flight, it was delightful to get a true Hawaiian greeting!! The young lady was gracious and very informative! She directed us straight to the shuttle service send took several pictures for our memory book. The flowers lasted 5 days and kept our condo smelling like a sunny floral garden.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Fun and beautiful!

Reviewed by: AJ Black

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a beautiful, fun, living museum. Pacific Island Native people use songs and traditional dances to tell the stories of their culture. They have reverence for the Islands and also have fun showing the beauty and fun of their heritage. We visitors are referred to as “Family”. We are made to feel very welcome and are invited to participate in crafts, dance and games with the Island people. The Buffett and the show are wonderful. Thank you!!!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Great Luau Experience

Reviewed by: JannaD

This was a great experience! We had Cousin T as our guide on sexy bus #2. Fun time on the bus both ways.
The luau was great. The activities were Hulu lesson, bowling and spear throwing. Those were a bit boring honestly.
The food was very good and plentiful. Due to COVID restrictions there was not a buffet. The food was handed out pre plated in the buffet line. The food was very tasty. I don’t agree with other reviews that said it was like cafeteria food.
It was a little rainy off and on and they handed out rain ponchos which was nice. The show was good, especially the fire dancer.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

This excursion is TOO LONG!

Reviewed by: KMcKay

While we enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center overall, this day was entirely too long for our taste. There really wasn't much to do at the center to fill up our time, so we just sitting around waiting for the Luau dinner. And, the gift shop is on the other side of the entrance, so we couldn't even shop to kill time, which we would have loved to do.

The Luau was delicious, especially the welcome drink in the pineapple. And, the show was fantastic, but we were tired of being there all day.

So, if you want to waste a full day in paradise with not much to do, then this is the excursion for you.

  • Best part was the pineapple drink!

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Andrew

We had a wonderful experience at Captain Bob’s Sandbar Cruise. The entire staff was very friendly and made sure everyone had a good time. The guy who gave everyone instructions (forgot his name) was very friendly and hilarious to listen to. We got to play on the sand bar for an adequate amount of time, had some burgers, saw some sea turtles, snorkeled, and saw a huge coral reef. Overall a very memorable and fun part of our trip. My only regret was because so much was included I forgot to bring my wallet so I couldn’t tip them! Maybe next time. Thanks for the wonder memories!

We had the best time on the Captain Bob snorkel tour. The sand bar they took us to was awesome to just hang out and get acclimatted to everything. The food was good and the actual snorkel location was pretty great. All the equipment was sanitized and if you wanted you could use your own stuff or buy a set from them.
