A "must do" AND they provide GoPros!!!
The shuttle picked-up us us on time and after a quick check-in we had to watch a video for safety instructions. The staff was very friendly and helped us during all activities.
A boat will take you to the barge in Maunalua Bay. We first started with the 30 min Jet Ski ride. It was our first time and we were kind scared at the beginning, but after couple laps we were totally fine and enjoying the moment. All Jet Skis are equipped with a GoPro, so after the ride you can purchase awesome pictures and a video.
Right after we finished, a second boat took us to the parasail boat. The staff helped us with the safety equipment and also took incredible pictures for us. Our time in the air was about 10 minutes and we even spotted a whale during our ride!
Definitely a great experience if you're on the island and looking for something fun to do!

See Hawaii through a unique perspective!
I've been to many different tours around the Island, but this Photo Tour was for sure one of my favorites, I saw Hawaii through a unique perspective!
Since I don't have a professional camera I made sure to rent their equipment. I was not familiar with fancy cameras, but the guides were teaching us how to use it properly.
Brian and Latai are very talent guides and photographers and know a lot about Oahu’s cultural history, geology and wildlife. They took us to many different places and we were able to practice what we've learned in different landscapes of white-sand beaches, lush rainforest, lava rocks and ancient volcanoes .
They didn't just took us to amazing places with breath taking views but also shared
helpful tips and techniques. At the end of the of day I came back home with incredible pictures and great memories!
Beautiful photographs! Thank you for joining us - we are thrilled that you enjoyed our adventure together! Keep sharing your unique perspective :)
Aloha,
The Photo Safari Hawaii Team

Unforgettable Moment!
Although I love dancing, I never thought I would be able to learn how to Hula, but Sarah is an AMAZING teacher. She is so graceful and patient! While I was learning the basic moves, Sarah was able to also teach advanced choreography to my friend who already knew how to dance.
Our class was at Magic Island and we found a good quiet spot by the trees with a beautiful ocean view, perfect for recording the moment. It's for sure the best souvenir I could ever had.
I still can't believe I was able to to learn a whole choreography in 1 hour. I had so much fun that now I would like to take more lessons. It was an unforgettable morning, a true Hawaiian Experience!
Highly recommend this activity!!!

Great Adventure!
If you love nature and exercise, this is one of the activities that you cannot miss in Hawaii!
After being picked up from the hotel, the guide took us to our hiking spot. We were given water bottles, trail mix and hip pack.
From there you hike into the beautiful lush forest. It's not difficult but it can be challenging in places. The bamboo forest was beautiful.
The guide was very knowledgeable and I learned quite a bit about the local flora and fauna.
After the hike, the guide gave us safety instructions for the biking part.
I must confess I a little nervous about it because I hadn't ridden a bike in many years, but it was very easy and fun! It's a nice down hill ride.
We stopped for a picnic style lunch half way down the hill. WOW! Amazing postcard views from Diamond Head and Honolulu skyline!
Very good tour and would definitely do this again. Great time and lots of pictures! I can't wait to try their other tours in Manoa Valley and Kualoa Ranch.
Things to consider: Bring bug spray & wear appropriate shoes. Depending on weather conditions the hike may be very muddy.

Koko Head Thriller Speed Boat Adventure
Awesome!!
I absolutely love boat rides and this one was by far my favorite.
I had a blast! The views of the island are spectacular,
the boat takes you to unique places.
After checking in at the shop, the captain will give a brief orientation about the tour. Be ready for big splashes, you will probably get soaked! Don't bring with you anything you mind getting wet.
This tour has a really fun and different approach from the other activities that Hawaii offers.
I definitely recommend it for everyone seeking for a thrilling adventure!

Hawaii Duck Tours Waikiki Land & Sea Sightseeing
Very good time!
I went on the South East Shore & Maunalua Bay Tour and I had a a lot of fun!
The tour is great if you are looking for a half day tour and wants to see
the most popular sights on the South & East side of the Island.
Just keep in mind that this is a sightseeing tour, they don't make a lot of stops along the way. We were given duck call whistles and were encouraged to use them throughout the tour. Oh! Don't forget to bring your sunglasses, it can get very windy!
After leaving Waikiki we took a scenic drive driving by Diamond Head and the lovely Kahala neighborhood. The water ride in the vehicle was at Maunalua Bay and we had great photo opportunities! After stopping for 20min in Hanauma Bay to take pictures we kept driving and could also see Eternity Beach and Sandy Beach.
It was a good and relaxing afternoon. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we saw many beautiful places!

Fantastic Day
What a fantastic day!
Me and my friend were flying for the day and this tour was perfect for us!
Our group was small and the guide Marcus was very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing with us valuable information and keeping us entertained during the whole day.
It was a day full of wonderful surprises! To drive from Kona to Hilo we took Saddle Road and WOW! That's crazy how the landscape changes so fast along the way.
The first stop was at Rainbow Falls, we took many pictures and a short walk around the area. Next we headed to charming Hilo Town. Make sure to try their shaved ice!
For lunch we stopped at a Orchid Nursery and had a delicious sandwich.
The highlight of the day for sure was the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
We hiked around Iki Crater. It's an easy short hike and there are many lookout points along the way. We also walked through Thurston Lava Tube and stopped to check the steam vents on the way to Jaggar Museum.
At Jaggar Museum you have perfect view from Halema'uma'u Crater and great pictures opportunities!
After the National Park we stopped at the incredible Black Sand Beach and our last stop was at a delicious bakery, Marcus got us delicious Malasadas!
On our drive back to Kona we could witness a beautiful sunset.
I recommend this tour for everyone staying in Kona! It definitely exceed my expectations.

Hidden Waterfall Swim & Beach Snorkel Adventure
Fun and Relaxing!
Different from other tours, on this one there is no rush! We had time to enjoy each location and relax.
After a short hike we get to a waterfall! It's an easy hike but the location is absolutely beautiful, a lot of movies and tv shows were filmed on that location.
At Waimanalo Beach we spent some time at a nice private beach house. The scenery is just wonderful! We had time to relax and enjoy the beach. At the house they have kayaks, stand up paddle board and boogie boards available.
For lunch we had a delicious hawaiian style meal.
Snorkeling on Hanauma Bay in the afternoon was amazing! It's one of the most beautiful places in the island.
I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

What a great day!!
What a great day!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took good care of us. We arrived at Pearl Harbor before the crowd and our group was one of the firsts to visit USS Missouri, so we had great pics opportunities.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and to have with you a bottle of water!
It's a must-see attraction to anyone who is interested in history and aspects of the US military.

Ambassador Alii Luau Full Day Package
I had a great experience!
During the bus drive to PCC there is a tour guide who is really good on entertaining the crowd while giving important information about Hawaii culture. As you arrive there you are greeted by the employees while checking-in.
After lunch (i've purchased a nice BBQ buffet) I started my tour, the guide was very friendly and took us to each village and we had the chance to participate of many cultural activities.
If you were not able to see all the presentations, don't worry, you can have a small demonstration of each Village during the Canoe Pageant.
If you have time, please check the Hawaiian Journey Theater, you will watch a beautiful movie about Hawaii. I was impressed by the size of the theater. There's also a Tram Tour around Laie town and you can visit the Temple.
By 5pm it starts the Dinner Luau. There is a lot of different options, and they were all delicious! After dinner there's the beautiful show "Ha: Breath of Life". It's a wonderful production!
