Eek eek. flip flip
This was fun to interact with the dolphins. The water in the tank was cold and dirty (algae). The trainers were fun to interact with and made the dolphins interact with the guests. Your physical interaction with the dolphin is less than 30 seconds (dance and kiss).
So why 4/5 stars? I expected a little more for the money, and you cannot use your own camera. I wanted to use a chest mounted GoPro. So instead we had to buy their photos (which are not cheap) for documentation.
I would recommend.

Fun on a waverunner
This is a fun little trip. The check in booth is located quite a ways away to where the actual jet ski event it. You take a small van there and then take another boat to a little island. From here you get on the jet skis and take a 30 minutes to run around in circles. We had a blast.
Why 4/5 stars? They would not let you do other fun things with the boats. I used to have my own PWC so I was expecting to have a more freestyle day and not a race around in circles day. I wanted to do 180s and create whirlepool jumps. But other than that it was fun.
I would recommend.

Manoa Falls Guided Hiking Adventure [Open 2022]
Great little hike and information session
This is a nice little hike that took about 4 hours from pick up to drop off. Our tour guide was very nice, informative and helpful (bug spray and walking sticks). You start with a pick up in a van at your hotel location, then you travel up into the hills and park. From there you hike into the lush beautiful forest and at the end come to a nice little waterfall. During this whole time there the guide is educating you on history of the islands and the area.
Things to consider: This is an open trail so you will not be alone. Bring bug spray! Wear appropriate shoes, pants and gear. Bring a small umbrella or poncho.
Overall I would recommend.

Hawaiian Parasailing Tour & Adventure from Waikiki Beach [800ft & 1000ft Lines] / 1000ft Line (10 min)
All seemed normal then........ uh oh!
Pick up location is litterally right behind the Ilikai Hotel where we stayed. Crew was fun and interactive. Watched others ahead of us go up and come back and the crew took pictures. We however went up (1000ft) and during our return back to the boat, the hydraulic system failed and caused a large whiplash surge to us. Banged our legs against the line but no real damage. Then I noticed a crew member removing his shirt. Why would he do that? Because he was going to get in the water. So we started to touch down into the water, but unlike the others we did not come back up. The parachute and lines sank in the water along with us and we had to release ourselves from the harness as we were being dragged. The one crew memeber dove in to gather the chute as we swam back to the boat.
Best part? I got the whole thing on my chest mounted GoPro. We were fine and it was still quite fun. We just got a bonus. So why did I give it 4/5 stars? Since I was filming it all I recorded only a little over 7 minutes when it was supposed to be a 10 minute round trip ride. So if you go bring a timer and make sure you get what you paid for.
Other than that I do recommend.
