FUN
I have been to many exotic places in the carribbean and took part in jet skiing there. In other places (mexico,barbados,st. thomas, bahamas,puerto rico) you rent the jet ski on your own and go where you want which is pretty cool. Here at sea breeze it's a little more controlled which is good as well. Sea breeze staff were awesome and works hard. They are all about safety because you have to watch a safety video. The activities are more controlled because when you jet ski, you have to go around in a circle in a somewhat controlled area. They also take pics of you on a chip that they download on their computer later for your purchase of $30 so take extra money because the pics are way cool.
AS for the parasailing, awesome. That was my first time as well as my wife. They dip you in the water which was a great experience and the views are out of this world. Well worth the money spent. Keep this in mind, when you go on vacation I understand families have a budget but expect to sp

Not what I thought
I have mixed feelings about this activity. First of all, I don't like the fact that you cannot book your activities in advance. You have to sign up for your activities when you get there. This way, everybody is racing to the lines and it's possible that you won't get to do what you came there to do after you already paid your money and you could end up not having any fun! Luckily my wife and I got to do our horseback riding and movie tour. The horseback riding was pretty cool. The horses are trained and the area is controlled so that's recommended. The movie tour was kinda disappointing. You do actually see where filming took place on the grounds and sometimes you get to get out and take pictures but the sites are very limited. DO NOT THINK THAT YOU WILL SEE LOST BECAUSE YOU WON'T, IT'S CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. That was my main purpose for taking this tour and I was disappointing. YOu will not see any movie activity, it's more of a history lesson. To me it all looks the same.

Unbelievable
WOrds cannot explain this activity. My wife and I took a vacation to Hawaii as our yearly get away, no special occasion. I served in the military so this was a must for me to go experience. It was recommended for us to arrive early at pearl harbor. It's true that there is a massive line but I recommend that you go a little later than 6am because the line moves pretty quick. Let me explain the process because I did not see anyone mention it. The memorial opens at 7am and people enter inside the welcome center and get a card with a # on it, which puts you in a group. I estimate the group to be about 50 people. After that time, you just roam around the welcome center until your group # is called. Then you stand in line to go into a theater where you will see ACTUAL footage from the war and it's very touching and heart stopping. After that, you go outside to the water taxi (boat) which takes you out to the actual memorial. you can just feel the mood there. Some people can be disr

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Great Experience
Oh my goodness! What a way to start off your Hawaiian vacation. My wife and I attended this luau out of the many choices because it came highly recommended. As soon as you enter, they will take a pic which is free with the royal package. Then you can walk around and take part in the many games. You can also make your own lei hat and other things. It's so cool. When the activity starts, you learn a lot about hawaii tradition at several different demonstrations. Then you go to the ceremonial unconvering of the pig (try not to sit directly in the sun like we did). After that, you are seated to prepare for the show. We chose the royal box deluxe package and received all kind of goodies as well as dinner service. This package is recommended because you can see the show very well and you get served so you don't have to get up. If you want seconds, they will bring it to you. I felt like a king. THe show itself is amazing and a great experience. Oh and they will ask for volunteers

Wonderful
My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform
