A great night
My friend and I wanted to go to a luau, but didn't have much time, so this one located right in Waikiki was perfect! As we sat down, they came around with the complimentary Mai Tai (yummy!) and there was entertainment and live music as we relaxed.
The buffet was great, there was an assortment of food for everyone's tastes and my plate was huge by the time I got back to my table! The show was very entertaining and the fire knife dance at the end took our breaths away! You could feel the heat of the fire from the table. What a great way to end our day.

Fun in Kauai!
Beautiful location, awesome guides (Zach & Ryan) and thrilling zips made for an unforgettable morning! The location is in one of the rainiest parts of the world, but luckily the rain cleared up just as we were heading out and we didn't see any the entire 2-3 hours, very lucky!
There were about 7-8 lines total that stretched across the valley so the views were unbeatable and everyone was having an amazing time! On activities like zipping, the guides can make or break the tour and Zach & Ryan were some of the best I've ever had, on any tour. This is a great tour for those looking to try zipping for the first time or to do it again in one of the most beautiful places on the island, highly recommended!

Excellent!
An amazing sunset cruise! While the sun wasn't cooperating, the seas were calm and we were extremely lucky in all that we were able to see of the beautiful coastline. Because this boat is one of the fastest on the coast, we were able to cruise all the way down to Hanakapiai Beach, almost all the way to the northern tip of Na Pali!
We saw a lot of sea caves and waterfalls, and the crew was fabulous at making sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed (amazing food!) and enjoying themselves to the utmost. One of the best evenings we spent on Kauai and definitely something I would highly recommend to see the awe-inspiring cliffs of Na Pali!

Very Full & Informative Day
The passport is a fantastic way to see all of Pearl Harbor! Be prepared for a full-day, and definitely get there as early as you can. I was unable to secure a ticket to the USS Arizona online, so I arrived around 8:15 and got a ticket for 9:30, but the limited tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial were sold out by 11am, so get there early (especially in the summer)!
Since you cannot bring anything with you (other than what fits in your pockets) make sure to have some money for drinks and snacks and don't forget your camera! I'm not a huge WWII history buff, but it was a truly fascinating and moving experience being aboard the gleaming white memorial.
The USS Bowfin and Missouri are amazing if you have never been on a submarine or battleship before, and the Pacific Aviation Museum is excellent as well. This is definitely something I would recommend to any and all, just make sure to eat a good breakfast and wear comfortable shoes!

Fantastic dives
I dove with Tim and Andrew on an absolutely perfect day. We did two drift dives, one at Turtle Bluffs where the visibility was easily over 100 feet, and the second at Amber's Arches.
Saw several huge turtles, a few reef sharks hiding below the bluffs, and an amazingly beautiful Spanish Dancer as we were swimming "upstream" underneath Amber's Arch! Great crew, top-shape boat & shop and brand new equipment made for unforgettable dives.
This is definitely one of the top operations I have ever dove with and I fully recommend diving with them if you are on Kauai. During the summer you can also dive off of Niihau for what I heard were some of the best dives ever.

Perfect morning!
A fantastic day, the weather was spectacular and the crew was excellent. As we reached the Na Pali coast, we ran into a pod of dolphins and the boat stopped so everyone could enjoy them and take pictures before we headed up the famed coastline.
The weather was absolutely perfect, we were insanely lucky, and we were able to go into a sea cave and turn around! With enough time for about 45 minutes to snorkel and enjoy the water and a delicious lunch before we headed back to the harbor. After doing several activities in Kauai, I would most definitely recommend a visit to the Na Pali coast, it truly is as magical and awe-inspiring as everyone always says!

Oahu to Molokai - Kalaupapa Father Damien Tour
Stunning Molokai
An excellent day! It started off with a calm plane ride over to Kalaupapa before heading out on the tour of the unique and beautiful peninsula. Hopping onto an old school bus, we explored the area and then were off to one of the most gorgeous lookouts I've ever seen!
The history and stories of the peninsula is fascinating, and definitely one of the lesser known parts of Hawaiian history. The guide was amazing, and having lived on the island for almost 40 years, was an expert in all things Molokai.
The only downside to the tour, is the plane gets in early, and then you have to wait for the mule riders / hikers for the tour to start. As previous reviews state, bring a book or something to do as the Kalaupapa Airport is very small. Overall an excellent tour and something I would recommend to any and all!

Cold but fun!
Unfortunately for us, the weather was not cooperating when we went out, but it still didn't take away from the beauty and awesomeness of the North Shore! While it was windy and drizzly, the waves were up so we got to see several cool surf spots, which while I have seen from the beach, are even better up close.
The captain is great and knows more about the area than many other tours I've taken up there and we even got to catch a few fish with a hand line. All in all, this is a top-notch tour even if the wintery weather keeps you from enjoying the water or showing off the bright blue waters of the Pacific, highly recommended!

Family Fun!
My family is in town visiting so we decided to take a trip to North Shore for the day and found an awesome whale watch tour to partake in! Once we left the harbor we saw a few whales breaching out in the distance, but unfortunately we were not going out that far.
We stayed in about a mile or two offshore and let the whales come to us, and we saw quite a few up close. While none were jumping or dancing too close, there were a lot out that day and we could see some on all sides of the boat enjoying the sunshine, like us! All in all, a great day and a fun time on a beautiful boat, the perfect way to show visitors the aloha spirit.

Flightsee Airplane Tour (from Honolulu Airport)
An unforgettable time
A roller coaster of a ride, the weather wasn't perfect for the day we flew, but it was still an unforgettable experience! A great way to see the island from the air, you definitely see the why Hawaii is known as "Paradise".
The pilot, Gene, knew all about everything we flew over and let us in on all the little island secrets of places we needed to go back to. This is definitely more relaxed than a helicopter flight as you go at a slower speed and really get to enjoy what you see! Thanks again for the amazing time and a definite "must-do" while on Oahu!
