Magic of Polynesia
This is my 2nd time to the Magic of Polynesia, but my first time seeing John Hirokawa perform! Absolutely wonderful, wonderful, wonderful show!!! John Hirokawa is sooo hilarious and did a great job keeping everyone entertained. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family to see his show. However, don't do the dinner show, eat at the neighboring restaurants and then head over to the Show.

Alii Kai Sunset Dinner Cruise (from Aloha Tower)
FUNtastic TIME!!!
What a great time we had! The Catamaran is bigger than I had expected and the dinner was good and it was laid out really nicely!
The service though.. not so much. Our waitress, was pretty slow in getting us our drinks. We had to continually holler at her to get her attention.
Entertainment was great, everyone got up to dance and do all these random dances, like Electric Slide, Macarena, Cupid Shuffle, YMCA.. kinda corny, but HEY, its all for fun! They even had some entertainment set up for the couples on-board. They played several love songs on-board while couples were dancing and enjoying the Hawaiian sunset at the same time.
We took a lot of pictures of the sunset and of Waikiki.. beautiful! I would definitely do this Sunset Dinner Cruise again..
**PS*** BIG BONUS!!! if you book for Friday Night, the catamaran stays out til 8:15PM to watch the Friday Night Fireworks of Waikiki.. AWESOME!!

Beauitful way to end our evening
After a long stressful week, we headed on over to Kualoa Ranch. We were taken away by the beauty that this ranch preserves. You will NOT see any large buildings, overcrowded retail shops and a whole bunch of touristy Hokie Pokie music. Its just beauty and deep Hawaiian history that surrounds you.
We enjoyed the Hawaiian Fishing & Garden Tour the MOST!! You take a little ferry boat ride around the 800 year old pond, and let me tell you.. Mountain views are simply AMAZING!!! After the Garden tour, we head over for our Movie Sites and Ranch tour, which you get to see sites they used for Jurassic Park, Pearl Harbor, Windtalkers, 50 First Dates, Godzilla..real exciting!!
After an afternoon of activities, they had a buffet dinner ready for us, which was extremely tasty! Everything is chopped, prepared and cooked right at the ranch, NO CATERING HERE!!
Overall, we had a really good time. Everything was so beautiful, and it was just nice to be away from the whole tourist crowd that

Good Times!!!
My friend decided to do this cruise and so we went along. We all had an incredible time! While we were sailing out in the deep blue ocean enjoying our tasty drinks and listening to the tunes, it just automatically becomes the perfect combination to get everyone in a mood to socialize, move around and even dance on-board! The best part about the whole cruise was the gorgeous sunset (besides the OPEN bar).
I would definitely recommend this to my friends and to everyone I know!! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
Sailing + Drinks + Friends = GOOD TIMES!

Mommy and Daughter Day!!
It was a wonderful sail and beautiful scenery of Diamond Head, Waikiki and Town. The Captain answered all of my daughter's questions, and let me tell you..SHE HAD A LOT of questions!! She even made friends with another little girl on-board. We didn't snorkel because I am not a great swimmer and the waves looked kinda rough, but its ok...me and my daughter was on the top drinking our Orange and Guave juice and enjoying the breeze, relaxing and taking in the scenery.
The Catamaran was clean, comfortable, and had 2 CLEAN bathrooms on-board (Women and Men). The staff was very friendly, always came around to see how we were doing and offering us anything to drink.. Beautiful way to spend your afternoon.. Well done, Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Hawaii Nautical!!

Creation - A Polynesian Journey Night Show
Good Show, Yummy Food!!
Food tasted absolutely great! Such a fun and exciting show..it was very entertaining, my 5 year old daughter sat through the show entirely without being antsy!!!
Only downside of the whole evening was.. our waitress was really slow. When we asked for juice, it came back watered down because the ice melted (of course 20 minutes later). Instead, we just asked for ice water. This would probably need some improvements.
Everything else was good! Kudos!

Best activity on O'ahu!
I have been to a Luau, Sunset Dinner Cruise, Dinner Show.. quite possibly all over O'ahu! This is by far, the best activity I have ever done. The crew was very friendly and informative..Most of them are interns so they actually do their job for free!
Once we board the Barefoot 1 which is actually a pretty small catamaran but don't let this discourage you because once your on your way to the submerged sandbar..everything is perfect! Imaginine drinking a nice cold refreshment and for you alcoholic drinkers, a nice beer, out in the middle of Kaneohe Bay. Sitting on the Sandbar with the nice breezy tradewinds while taking in all the beautiful views!! TALK ABOUT RELAXATION!!
Once we had our freshly grilled burger lunch at the sandbar, we head pass toward Turtle reef, where we saw at least 10 huge sea turtles! After our minor turtle watching session, the crew took us to a coral reef located at least half a mile away from the Sandbar location, we were the only vessel out there which m

Luau in the middle of Waikiki
This is a really convenient luau. In good walking distance or a cab ride away from all the hotels and incredibly delicious food. Be sure to get the Golden Circle, because we did and we had excellent front row type of seating. CHECK IN EARLY TO BYPASS THE CROWD!!!
Some bad "Cons" about this is:
there is no good/ romantic picture taking scenery, chairs are situated very close to eachother so your banging elbows with the next person, its on the top of a parking lot structure and its just surrounded by a bunch of buildings.
Staff was friendly, water is always provided, the Food is BETTER tasting from all the other Luau's I have been too.. so that is a plus.

Conqured my fear of Sea animals
Ko Olina Ocean adventures actually placed me on the wrong activity.. I wanted to be lazy, lay around on their catamaran, enjoy the sun , do some leisure snorkeling and drink Instead I was placed on a small ocean raft but I had a great dolphin swim adventure.
We started off checking in, which was actually pretty fast. Waited around for about 25 minutes until everyone was checked in and got on the boat (NO SLIPPERS ALLOWED), this is a barefeet type of activity, they ask that you leave your slippers on the dock.
First snorkeling site is just your normal site, this allows whoever is not familiar with snorkeling to get familiar. My sister and I actually drifted off because we had our head in the water the entire time, and we did not realize how far we drifted away form the boat. Luckily, the crew consists of awesome swimmers and they jumped in to pull us back to the boat. :-)
2nd and 3rd site was our Dolphin Drops, the boat is still moving and you slide off the boat into the wat

A night at the Magic of Polynesia
I cannot explain how much of a good time we had lastnight! It was so good my husband decided to buy keychains and the souvenir picture just to remember the night! We came on a night John Hirokawa was supposed to perform, but Keith Kabasawa was the Illusionist instead and he was very good, entertaining, and on key with everything!
Magic of Polynesia has everything! Traditional Hula, Tahitian, singing, and Fireknife dancing which was unexpected for me!
My daughter had a wonderful time and she is excited to see this exciting show again! Only downfall is the food was cold by the time it was served to us, and the venue itself is cold, so I would suggest to bring a light sweater to keep yourself warm!
