I have been to the Arizona Memorial 4 times and this tour provided the best experience. It did a great job of showing the historical military locations. The guides were very informative and made it a very enjoyable day.

The beach was beautiful. Very good for boogie boarding but snorkeling was not happening unless you took a thirty minute walk to get there with all of your equipment. To get to the beach was a five minute walk which was not bad but there was no transportation offered to the family to get to the snorkeling part of the beach. Really this outing was over priced. Carrying four boogie boards, towels, and snorkeling gear with kids is not fun. So we did not to get to go snorkeling here. There should have been a small shuttle offered to get to certain areas of the beach. Who wants to be carrying this equipment back and forth to the beach. The meals offered was good but again we had to wait till just before leaving to eat because the food services are back at the rental facility. All they need to offer is a shuttle and I would not hesitate returning.

Our original reservation of Thurs was cancelled due to weather. The staff was very efficient at rescheduling us for Mon, and even opened up their 9:30 tour.

This comment is to my comment submitted on March 21, 2009. Captain Dave promptly refunded my money on the shark video that I purchased. Thank you, Captain Dave!

Our experience with our Lei greeting was awesome. We had a woman named Melia (I think that is the spelling). She was wonderful. She was holding up the sign with our name and she was very visable and we were greeted with a welcoming smile and hug. After that she brought us to our luggage and waited there with us until we got our luggage and then she made sure we found our Ilima driver for our ride to our hotel. On the walk to the luggage she suggested some things to do and see while we were in Honolulu. Our experience was great and we would 100% recommend them to anyone!

This will truly test your sea legs, which I truly had. So if you get sea sick, I wouldn't recommend it, but maybe some motion sickness pills may help. Once in the water you don't notice anything looking from above, but once you stick your head underneath you are completely surrounded by sharks. It was thrilling and exciting at the same time. My only concern was hoping that my underwater camera was taking some great shots, which later I found out was on the wrong setting. I was tempted to do it again, but luckily I bought the DVD of my swim. I would surly do it again when I return. It was the most thrilling thing that I have done in my life.

Our flight got in and hour early! They were there with smiles! Quality of the Leis were out of this world. Our greeter was polite and willing to do whatever was necessary to make our trip a memorable one. She offered to escort through out the airport if needed. She handled our 5 year old daughter as a princess and newly crowned hula girl.
You would be remiss if you do not spend the little required to have this memorable event in your travels.

This tour is definitely worth the money! We had an amazing time! Make sure to take Dramamine ahead of time and make sure to have enough battery power for your camera because you will take tons of photos. If you have never snorkeled, I recommend figuring out how to snorkel ahead of time. We also saw whales (it was the middle of whale season) and you could here them if you were really quiet under the water. We had to rebook due to weather and the staff was great at getting us a new date/time that worked with our schedule. The only regret I have is the video that was shot for us. It was very expensive for the footage we received (about 10 minutes) and the wrong couple was intereviewed at the beginning of the video and at the end of the video the camera wasn't turned off so we have about 5 minutes of a white wall on the front of the boat. All in all, it was an amazing time and we would definitely do it again!

We had such fun! Toby was the greatest tour guide, pointing out every site and giving both sides of the copter a chance to see it. This was the highlight of my daughter's and my trip! If you have only one choice for an activity, make it this one!

my 1st reservatoin was cancelled due to the bad weather. They arranged for the next day. It was very windy and wavely under the water. I bumped to the cage lots of time and hands went outside the cage. I was so scared. I thought the shark would come and bite me. If you are 1st time user of snokel like me better learn it before.
It was amazing as sharks are not interested in human at all. I saw Whale too.
It will be the 1st and the last in my life.

英語のツアーには初めて参加したのですが、語学力はそこそこなので困ることはないですけど段取りの悪さが気になりました。あちらについてから空港の近くのマクドナルドで降ろされて1時間ほど待ち時間。船で島まで来る人と合流して、そこでそれぞれのツアーに分かれるために待ち時間が1時間あったこと。帰りも空港に2時間半ほど前に、あのなにもない空港で降ろされ時間をつぶすはめに…。ツアーの内容自体は悪くないですけど、やたら待たされることが多くて疲れました。以前、ハワイ島に日帰りでいったのですが、そっちの方が断然きれいだったし…。マウイ島は日帰りじゃ面白くないのかもしれないですね。

Our greeter, Leilani, was at arrival gate with 2 beautiful leis and a huge smile. She walked us to transportation after calling town car company, took pictures for us, and waited with us until the car arrived, never failing to smile and chat freely. The leis have lasted over 3 days and still look fabulous!

I never considered swimming with sharks until i came across this on the internet. I am glad i did. It was something different and pretty cool. it honestly feels like you are watching a video of the sharks swimming by. I don't know if it's always this way, but we were surrounded by at least 20 of them...very cool, and again, surreal. the crew of 2 was awesome and entertaining.

My family member was surprised by the lei greeting, however, I was expecting a little more excitement from our greeter. Definitely a nice treat for a first time visitor or a loved one.

I am just letting yoou know that The Polynesian Culutural Center was
soooo much fun!!!!!!! That was the best thing we did in Hawaii. We were
in Hawaii last year with our daughters and our schedule didn't work so
well for us to attend. When we went this year we felt bad that our girls
had to miss out on such a wonderful time. Everyone working there was so
helpful and very nice, and friendly. We are very glad that we did it this
year. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

I reserved a limo for transportation from the airport to our hotel, I "ordered" a "stretch", imagine my surprise when the limo that greeted us was a Hummer!!! My daughter was THRILLED. This was only slightly more expensive than a taxi and very well worth the extra!!! Our driver was courteous and professional and it was a blast being on the inside watching people who no doubt were wondering, "who is that in there", as we do when we see a limo go by. I would recommend this to all and if I am fortunate enough to return to the islands any time soon, will be booking another ride through Hawaii Activities!!!

We took the "Home Of The Brave" tour and it is a day that will live in infamy for us. If you are a history buff, you will think you have died and gone to heaven. We spent our time with Brandon (the world's greatest and most informed tour guide) as he took us through the events leading up to and and including the attack on Pearl Harbor and ending at Punchbowl National Cemetery. If you do no other tour when you are on Oahu, this is the one to do. Brandon provided unique insight into the historical events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Because of his enthusiasm, we have since started to do our own research into the whole history that is available and not just the bits and pieces that we have seen through movies.This is just a bit if the info that we have found.

This is an exceptional tour and the best bang for your buck-so to speak. Thank you Brandon and Hawaii Activities.

Requested the transfer with a Spanish Speaking driver and he was most courteous, polite and helpful.
Would not hesitate to reccommend them at all.

The transportation to the Cultural Center was great and the driver amazing. He was very friendly and the drive was gorgeous - including a view of the famous 'China-Man's hat'. He was helpful once we arrived as well. We had a great experience on the canoe but wished we would have had more time to actually visit the individual villages before dinner began. I felt like we missed out a lot not being able to visit the exhibits. The dinner was wonderful although we had a toddler with us and opted out a bit early to roam the grounds and get some energy out rather than finish watching the dinner show. The evening show was amazing and made the whole trip worth it. We slept on the way home and were very happy with the experience.

I was in town for the Pro Bowl, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I had been upgraded from Lincoln Navigator Limo to the Hummer Limo. I don't know the reason, and I don't really care (LOL)....,but I'm grateful. I scored big points w/ my buddies for pulling out all the stops. The drivers were punctual and accomodating (as it relates to taking pictures for us, and pointing out points of interest on the island). In the future, I hope Platinum Limo gives the option of having a stocked bar, even if its w/ snacks and juice/soda beverages, since they can't serve alcohol.

Thanks for the great show too!

This was an adveture of a life time. The crew was fantasitc and very understanding. I wasn't sure about going in the cage since it wasn't enclosed completely. But the crew was wonderful and understanding. Once they got me out in the water and the sharks started coming around I had an anxiety attack and didn't know if I could stay in the water very long. The crew members talked me through the whole experience and said they would pull me in I needed. But I needed to do one thning for them. Take a breath and go down to just look once. I did and was able to stay in the cage the whole time. This was an experience that I will never forget and would do again if have the chance.

Great experience for anyone arriving in Hawaii! The greeter was waiting with a name sign and welcome message just as ordered online. She gave us each a lovely, full flowered orchid lei where many other people on our flight receiving lei greetings were getting a lei with a large space between the flowers. We ordered the standard lei greeting, so I would imagine the deluxe ones would be even more beautiful. She chatted with us while taking us to the baggage claim area and gave us some great ideas for sightseeing etc. I'd highly recommend this company!

Marvelous experience! They went above and beyond our expectations. We booked a regular limo as a surprise for a family member and were upgraded to a stretch hummer at no extra cost - what a wonderful surprise! The car was ready and waiting for us when we arrived at the airport. The friendly, courteous driver was very attentive. The cost was less than a cab ride quoted by several other companies. Great start to a vacation!
