Great Experience!

This was the second luau that we went to while we were in Hawaii. The food was delicious and far better than the previous luau we went to. The drinks were also very good, and the open bar was a nice addition to the luau. The actual show was very entertaining and the cast were all really skilled at what they did. You can tell that the cast really enjoy what they are doing.

Lava Rock Hiking

Hiking over lava rock was an interesting experience. When you look out and see miles of lava rock it is like being on the surface of the moon. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to interesting points of interest. There aren't many places in the world where you can hike on what use to be an active lava flow. Hawaii's beauty, mixed in the with strangeness of lava rock, created a unique and interesting hike for us.

Beautiful Serenity

What a beautiful experience! We were surrounded by beauty the entire hike. The beautiful scenery will truly put things into perspective for you. When I find myself in a not so great mood, I look back at my pictures from this hike and remember the beautiful serenity of that place. When people say "go to your happy place," this is the place that I now think of.

Fun and Unique

Stand up paddling was a very unique experience. The instructors were great and really made it easy to learn how to stand up paddle. We are from the midwest, so we wanted to try a unique ocean activity, since it would be something that we would not be able to try back home. I wish we had easier access to the ocean, so we could use our newly acquired paddling skills.

It's Like Hiking Another Planet!

We went on the 4 mile hike and it was a very special experience. You really feel like you are hiking on another planet. The redish rock scenery looks like a movie about Mars could've been filmed here. The views were simply amazing! The hike itself was not too strenuous, but you need to remember that their will be less oxygen up there, so don't be surprised if a 4 mile hike makes you winded.

Bachelor Party

My friend was getting married in Hawaii (How original right?), and as the best man, I of course had to plan the bachelor party. The Honolulu Night Life Club Tour really helped me out with the planning process, because they know exactly where to take you. We rode to places in style, and none of us had to be the designated driver. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a guys/girls night out.

Relaxing and Beautiful Sail

Our group went on the morning sailing excursion. What a beautiful day it turned out to be. We had picture perfect weather. Breathtaking doesn't even begin to describe the immense beauty you will witness on this tour. We have such wonderful pictures from this tour, that we could probably turn them into post cards. This was a perfect way to spend a relaxing day in Hawaii.

High Quality

We went on the deluxe snorkel cruise. The boat was phenomenal! The boat itself is one of the nicest I've ever been on, and I was impressed with the overall quality of everything on board. The snorkeling was great! We swam with tropical fish and even a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle. Along the coral reef I saw an octopus and an eel. This was such a great experience!

Hawaii, Oahu

Chicken Skin

Who would've known that Hawaii was such a haunted state? Every location we went to I had what the locals call "chicken skin," or what we call goosebumps. We had a camera with us and we were able to get pictures of orbs. The guides were very respectful of the places we visited, especially the heiau's. If you want to experience the weird and creepy, or just want a night of interesting entertainment, I would recommend going on this tour.

Hawaii, Big Island

Interesting and Beautiful

This was a very interesting tour. The highlight for me was seeing the taro farm. Taro has a unique history in Hawaii, and it was intriguing to see the ways in which the Hawaiians grow it. Along the hike you will have so many breath taking views that you won't know if you are winded from that, or from the hike (not that the hike is particularly difficult). Our guide was a true professional, and I would recommend this hike to everyone.
