Great Snorkel & Dolphin Cruise

I had a blast with Dolphins & You, the cruise was fantastic! The crew was fun, prompt, courteous, engaging and entertaining. We saw a lot of dolphins and they were swimming right next to us. What an amazing feeling it is to be so close to such lovely creatures.
The west side coast is so beautiful, the mountains and the ocean... every where you look you makes you want to take pictures! The snorkel part was also great and for lunch we had a delicious burger.
The boat is so much fun, when they stop on the second snorkel location you also have the chance to play with the water toys, they have water slide stand-up paddle and kayaks.
Even though it might seem like the west coast is far away from Waikiki, it's totally worth the trip. This tour has free pick-up from most of Waikiki hotels and the snorkel spots are much better than the ones in Waikiki. I highly recommend this dolphin cruise to everyone!

Mahalo for your 5-Star review! As we like to say, the West side is the BEST side! We absolutely agree that snorkeling is more beautiful and exciting on the West side of Oahu, and the views of the Waianae Mountain Range make it even more of a 360-degree experience. As you noted, transportation is complementary from 10 pick-up locations in Waikiki and Ko Olina. Thank you for recommending our tour, and we'd love to host you again some time! Please check out our other tours - Nature and You or Island and You - if you're still in the area.

Great & affordable shuttle to Diamond Head

Great & affordable shuttle to Diamond Head! The shuttle is very clean, comfortable and reliable.We were picked-up on time, the driver gave us instructions, a map and a bottle of water. The great thing about this tour is that you can walk at your own pace. The hike itself is easy, however towards the end there are some stairs. Walking through a lava tube was really cool. During the hike there are many lookout places with beautiful views of Oahu's south shore. You can see Waikiki, the mountains, downtown Honolulu & Koko Head from a distance and taking a lot of pictures. It was a great way to start my day. Thank you Kaimana Tours for such a great service and for taking me to one of Honolulu's top attractions, it's not everyday that you can tell your friends that your hiked am ancient volcano. I love Hawaii =)

Best Turtle Snorkel Cruise

Thank you Makani Catamaran for such a lovely morning. I had a great time on the snorkel cruise, the Waikiki coastline is beautiful. It was amazing to swim around so many turtles and fishes. The crew members were very professional and friendly and the picnic lunch was very tasty. The boat is clean, specious, comfortable and has indoor and outdoor seating options. I would for sure cruise again with Makani Catamaran, the snorkel cruise at turtle canyon was one the highlights of my trip.

Love the new venue at Wet 'n Wild

This was my second time at Chief's Luau and I got say... i love the new location. The new venue is so beautiful. Chief Sielu is the best luau host in Hawaii, he is funny, entertaining and for sure he is what makes this luau so special. The dancers and the musicians are really good and the fire-knife dance is breath taking. The food is delicious and the buffet has a lot of variety. It was a lovely evening and I recommend this luau to everyone, specially families and couples.

Great and relaxing boat cruise in Waikiki!

I love cruising with Hawaiian Glass Bottom Boat. This was my 3rd time on the boat and I plan to come back many more times.Nothing better than cruise along Waikiki enjoying a few beers with friends while watching the sunset. The price is great, the crew is always friendly and professional and you can really feel the aloha spirit. If the ocean conditions are good you can even see the marine life from their glassbottom viewing area.
What I also like about this boat is that this is a nice option for anyone who does not want to go on the crowed booze cruises from Waikiki.

Best Island Tour on Oahu

OMG! I had so much fun on this tour. My friend and I were looking for an island that would give us more time to actually enjoy the island instead of being "trapped' inside a bus only taking pictures all day. From my research i think this is the only tour that your can visit North Shore & Hanauma Bay on the same day. Perfect for me, since I only had a few days on the island.

We were pick-up on time from Waikiki and then we drove straight to North Shore. Our first stop was at Banzai Pipeline, we visited during winter time when the waves are big and were lucky to watch the locals surfing the most beautiful waves I've ever seen. Next, we spent about 1 hour at Waimea Bay where we had time to take pictures, enjoy the beach and body board. For lunch we headed to Tsue's Farms where we had a delicious shrimp plate and got the chance to kayak at a river in Haleiwa. It was so peaceful and beautiful, the river is surrounded by tropical trees and you almost feel like you are in a jungle. The best part? We saw tons of turtles in the river, amazing!
We also got the chance to visit at Dole Pineapple Plantation. The guide told us to try the Dole Whip, and it was so good and refreshing.
The last stop of the day was my favorite! Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was the highlight of my trip. I've never swim around so many fishes before, the sea life at this bay is surreal.

This tour has it all! Friendly and knowledgeable driver and guides, flexible schedule and tons of things to do during the day. You really get to see the best of Oahu in one day. My day was filled with adventures. Thank you North Shore Beach Bus for helping me to create memories of a life time!

Magical Experience

Orlando is one of my favorite vacation destinations, there are some many things to do in this city. I've been to most of the attractions there, but by far the Hot Air Balloon ride was one the best experiences I've ever had in my life. Watching the sunrise while soaring over the orange groves was just magical. Everything was perfect and the crew made us feel very safe. What a great way to start the day, I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Orlando.

Great way to experience the Volcanoes National Park!

Let me start saying one thing - Kilauea Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and it's definitely a MUST SEE & DO if you are visiting Hawaii. I think everyone should explore the Volcanoes National Park as much as they can, and since I've hiked hiked the most popular sights before, this time I decided to get the bird's eye view from Kilauea.

From start to finish Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was very professional and delivered a great service. After the check-in we watched a video about safety and what to expect on the tour. Due to the weather conditions my original flight was cancelled, however I was able to reschedule to a later time. It was worthy the wait! The aircraft was modern, very comfortable, large windows and the pilot was excelled and very experienced. He not only made us feel safe, but also shared a lot of interest facts about Hawaiian geology and history.

We flew over dozens of waterfalls and over the most recent lava flows and it was crazy to see how close the lava got to some houses couple of years ago. The most incredible part thou was for sure seeing the lava flowing into the ocean and watching the bubbling lava lake inside the Pu'u 'O'o Crater (which you can only see if you are doing an air tour).

I will never stop sharing these incredible memories with everyone around me.
Thank you VELTRA & Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for the amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour, whether you are visiting the island just for a day or more, make sure to include a helicopter flight on your wish list.
