Best Tour in Maui!!!
I have done many different tours in Hawaii, and no doubt Jasmine was the best tour guide I have ever had. The tour was perfect from the pick up until the drop-off.
I wasn't sure what to expect since this was my first time on the island but I'm glad I did it. I would never have been able to see this much in one day by myself. She safely drove us through windy and narrow roads and took us to places where large tour buses cannot go.
What a difference Jasmine makes. She is a local Maui girl who deeply loves what she does, she is very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about Maui's history, culture, geology, ecology, industry etc.
This tour took me to many out of the beaten path places in Maui, giving me memory that will last a lifetime! If you are visiting Maui I highly recommend booking the West Maui Sightseeing Tour!

Five star tour!!
Photography is one of my favorite hobbies, but my skills are still limited. After participating on this tour I can say that I have finally learned how to operate my camera. Marie is an excellent guide and a very passionate photographer. She was teaching us not only about photography techniques, but also about the history and culture of Hawaii along the way.
This tour is designed for all levels of equipment and expertise, it does not matter if you are a beginner or a pro, if you have DSL camera or a phone, she has tips for everyone. She spends one on one time with each person on the tour so you can get the help that you need.
We explored beautiful beaches, hidden waterfall, lava formations and many other breathtaking locations. The van was clean, comfortable, they also provide water, umbrellas and camera tripod.
Blue Hawaii Photo Tours provided me one of the best experiences I had in the island, I highly recommend this tour to all, It was absolutely amazing!
Aloha
Thank you for your kind review. It was fun showing you the little known areas that are off the tourist grid here in O'ahu. It's a wonderful way to see and capture the beauty of Hawaii to make your own stunning photographs. See you again next time. Mahalo, Marie

Dolphins! Dolphins! Dolphins!
Booking with VELTRA was really easy and fast, I gave them my information and they took care of the rest for me.
Dolphin Excursions Hawaii was also great! I had no problems with my pick up and
the boat crew was kind, friendly and helpful, they took many incredible pictures during the tour.
The West Side of the Island is beautiful. Snorkeling was amaaazing, we spotted so many dolphins, turtles and different species of fish. After the tour we had lunch at the Spinners Cafe, the food was very tasty.
I love marine life, especially dolphins, they are incredible animals! I had a lot of fun! This tour was the highlight of my trip.
Mahalo Karol for joining us! It was our pleasure to introduce you to the West Side's wild life. We do hope you come out and see us again!

Road to Hana - Great Adventure!
I did the Road To Hana tour and it was truly amazing! Our tour guide Junior was extremely experienced, funny and informative. He safely drove us through all the narrow, twisting, sometimes one-lane road with an estimated 600 turns and more than 50 one-lane bridges.
The road to Hana is very scenic with tons of waterfalls, cliffs, and mountain and forest. Our first stop was at Hookipa Beach, famous spot for windsurfing, the guide served us a continental breakfast (fresh pineapple & muffins).
My favorite stops were at the Ke'anae Peninsula and the Wai'anapanapa State Park (Black Sand Beach), the contrast of the colors of the blue ocean, with the black rocks and the lush green forest is just incredible. At the black sand beach we had enough time to either swim or hike and explore around.
We had lunch at the Hana Ranch restaurant, the food was tasty and fresh. The restaurant is located in the heart of Hana Town, so after lunch we had some time to check the stores. The journey continued after lunch with more breathtaking views, this is actually one of the only few tours that are allowed to drive beyond Hana and go around the island.
I was really impressed by this tour and by this part of Maui, I have never seen so many waterfalls like I saw on this Highway. The bus has big windows allowing us to enjoy the landscape. I am glad went on this tour with Discovery Hawaii, if I had decided rent a car and drive I would never be able to see so much and to learn so many interesting facts about the Hawaiian culture, economy, history and geography. What an amazing day!
Mahalo for your excellent review! We're so glad that you enjoyed yourself, and we look forward to seeing you the next time you're in the islands :)

The best way to explore the West Side of the Island!
I had such a wonderful time!
This was the best way to explore the west side of the island, and we visited so many beautiful spots off the beaten path!
Akima and Robert are really good guides and snorkel instructors. They know a lot about the island and gave us rich information about the history of Hawaii, the legends and marine life. They have maps and pictures to illustrate what they are talking about. They are also professional photographers and took many cool pictures for us, including underwater shots. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and they were on time for pick up.
My favorite time was the snorkel, I am not a good swimmer but the guides made me feel very comfortable and safe.
I would definitely recommend Hawaii Real Nature to everyone visiting Oahu!

So much fun!! The Best Snorkel Tour!
I went out with my brother and it was our first time going to the West Side. we absolutely loved it!
The vessel is brand new and it comfortably accommodates all guest. The crew is very knowledgeable and professional, after the safety briefing they served us a continental breakfast, with a nice variety of fresh fruits and cakes.
By the moment we left the harbor we could already see lots of wild Hawaiian dolphins swimming close to the boat. We were lucky enough to even spot 4 humpback whales, if you are visiting the Island during the winter months you will have big chances of seeing them also.
We've stopped at Makaha Caverns to snorkel. It's absolutely beautiful! The guide was swimming with us around the area and we surrounded by turtles and beautiful colorful fishes.
Lunch was served right after snorkel time, we could make our own sandwiches and choose from barbecue pork, tuna salad, deli meats, cheese, chips and pasta salad. Delicious!
It was a delightful morning, this snorkel tour was amazing! Definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical to everyone seeking for a good time in paradise!

Underwater Scooter - Great water experience!
My daughter told me about this tour when I was planing my trip to Hawaii. I booked it through hawaiiactivities.com website and I had no problems. They even called me one day prior to my activity to remind me of my pick up time and location.
The shuttle was there on time to pick me up and during the drive and took us the check-in location. After the safety briefing we started the tour.
The crew was really nice and informative. They are very professional and committed to provided us a unforgettable experience.
While waiting for our turn to go, we spend some time snorkeling and relaxing on the boat, Maunalua Bay is a paradise.
Once underwater you have a guide taking care of you during the whole time. It's so wonderful to see all the marine life coming right next to you, I saw dozens of colorful fishes and a lot of turtles.
The underwater scooter was for sure one of the coolest thing I have ever done.

Great magic show!
This show was an wonderful surprise to me! It's a great mix of Magic and beautiful talented Polynesian dancers.
I went with my friends and it was a very fun night. Dinner was delicious, the waiter made sure to check on us all the time, and the theater is conveniently located in the heart of Waikiki.
Mr. John Hirokawa is not just an amazing magician, he is also a very funny comedian ans knows how to entertain the crowd.
If your are coming to Oahu, make sure to not miss Magic of Polynesian Show. I totally recommend this activity for all ages.

Hilton Hawaiian Village "CabaRAE" Cocktail Show
Exciting evening in Hawaii!
Loved it!
CabaRAE is unique and fantastic! The show features acrobatics, comedy, aerial strap, sensuality, trapeze artists, singing, pole dancing, hand-balancing, hula hoop & roller skating tricks and much more.
The artists are very very talented and know how to entertain the crowd!
I was amazed and impressed with everything! Each act seems more spectacular than the other, but the highlight of the night for me was the hula hoop Elvis, he is amazing!
After the show, you can meet the entertainers and take pictures.
I absolutely loved the show! My friends and I had a great time and be sure you don't miss their after party!

Paradise is here!
After the check-in at Kualoa Ranch we took a shuttle to Moli'i Fishpond deck. When crossing the fishpond on a floating boat make sure to have your camera ready! It's the best time to take pictures of the majestic mountain range. The scenery is incredible, you feel like you are in a movie!
Once on the other side, we started enjoying our day at this beautiful private beach with views from Chinaman's Hat and Kaneohe Bay. They have restrooms, changing rooms, fresh water shower, covered picnic tables and a staff member to help you if you need anything. Make sure to bring sunscreen and some snacks.
My brother and I spent the morning kayaking, snorkeling, stand up paddling and playing games. The staff took us on a quick Glass Bottom Boat ride and we spotted a lot of green sea turtles! After all those activities we were just relaxing in a hammock under a palm tree.
I will definitely come back to enjoy another relaxing day there!
