Hawaii, Oahu

One of the best!

This was truly one of the best things we did in Hawaii! We went out the first morning after we arrived, and we loved loved loved this! The view before you go down into the park in just stunning, and it only gets better from there! The water is clear and beautiful, the coral is teeming with fish, we even saw a sea turtle, and got fantastic pictures even though there were tons of people there doing the same thing. The beach is pristine and beautiful. Our equipment was first class, the length of stay was just enough to enjoy, but not come home burned to a crisp. If you only do one thing on your trip, this should be it.

Great Trip!

My husband and I had a wonderful excursion! We saw a pod of over 100 dolphin, and the staff made 3 "drop" passes to be sure that everyone got to see the dolphins in the water. The area with the turtles was great, even got to see a ray, and the area where the fish are is AMAZING! We literally swam with hundreds and hundreds of fish all around us. The crew was fantastic, the excursion met and exceeded our expectations.

What a great cruise!

We had SUCH a wonderful time aboard this catamaran! The Captain and crew were friendly and efficient, the food was good and plentiful, the drinks were well made, and the view was just stunning! The light dinner (turkey wraps, pasta, and spring rolls with a cookie for desert) was plentiful and good quality, very fresh. The 3 free drink coupons we had were just the right amount, we didn't even need to buy more drinks. The bartender did a good job, the mixed dinks were well made. There is even a plasma TV on board with a video of underwater shots of fish if you prefer to stay below deck! The Vessel is very well kept and clean, quite comfortable, and lots of viewing space! It was a wonderful way to finish out out week in Hawaii~! The fireworks were beautiful, but short, but the view couldn't have been more lovely!

What a wonderful time!

We went all out on this one---we swam with the dolphins, the rays, and we did the sea trek! We loved all three! The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. The ray pool is a bit small and murky, but still stunning for being able to handle live rays! I'd say don't miss it if you can afford to go and do the encounters, do it do it do it! The only thing i'd warn about would be that the park is small, not much there to do if you don't do the special encounters.

Off the beaten track

This is a great "mid-week" tour. Not much energy expended, lots of things to see, and good tour guide explanation of things. The wetland preserve was a bit of a bust, very small, and only 2-3 species of birds seen, but all he rest was beautiful, and exactly as we had hoped.....a very nice excursion

Wonderful!!!

Thi was great. I have no complaints whatsoever! There's lots to do, it's well planned, our tour bus leader and driver were well informed, fantastic entertainers, and multi talented. The food was delicious, we did some arts and crafts type things that were fun for everyone and we learned some things about the culture of Hawaii in the most intresting way possible. We were well entertained, and i could not have asked for more! I wouldn't bother to upgrade unless you do the top level ( much better seating)

Good Tour

The tour can't be called fun, but i can say "don't miss it". It's very informative, quite solemn (the Arizona portion) and something i think every visitor should take in. It was well organized, good timing, and did everything we hoped it would.

A fun time!

We enjoyed the dinner cruise, although i must say that the food is only fair. Our waitress forgot us a few times, so slow service, and although there were empty tables right by the railing, we were seated further toward center of the boat. We asked about upgrades, but were told that there were none to be purchased, so i'm not sure what the yucky seating was about. The dancers were wonderful, the drinks plentiful, and the scenery was just fabulous! The only part that i just didn't enjoy at all was when they had the passengers dancing. Very very cheesy. They did the hokey pokey??? who does the hokey pokey??? They seriously need to update that portion of the cruise, otherwise, very nice.
