Alii Kai Sunset Dinner Cruise (from Aloha Tower)
A blast & How did they do that?
Even though the sunset did not cooperate with us this was a great trip. The bus hosts (also servers, dancers, announcers, etc... rolled into one person) were great. The food was good and there was a good variety. On the way back to port, they got everyone up and on their feet and on the dance floor. Was a great way to keep everyone involved and active. They made several good suggestions about local places to visit.
Magic of Polynesia was great. He made a helicopter appear on stage. How did he do that. Got some good audience participation. The dancers he incorporated into his show were a great feature.

Lots to see
You get to see alot and when we were at the different places, there weren't alot of other tourists there. I don't know if they hit at different times or these just are kind of off the beaten path. This was very nice though, away from the hustle and frantic pace of so many other places. The coffee was great at the macadamia nut place. The orchid farm was awesome, who knew they came in so many colors. Our guide was very knowledgeable, gave us lots of area history. Lanikai beach is incredible, sand like baby powder its so fine. They must have changed their route as I don't recall the ancient Polynesian village or the fishpond. But we saw and did plenty.

Manoa Falls Guided Hiking Adventure [Open 2022]
Great Hike
This was a terrific hike, however I really wouldn't recommend for young children. There were some pretty big steps and places you had to find your way as the step up was 24 inches or better and with rain, the path can be pretty muddy and slippery. Good shoes are important. Trail is narrow in places and someone has to step off to the side if there are people going both directions. Lots of breathtaking plants and flowers to see. Since the falls are rain fed, their size is completely dependent on the rain. If it hasn't for a while, you may only see a wet wall where the falls are.

Great Tour
This was great and well worth the money. I would have liked to stay longer in a couple of areas and there were some activities that we didn't get to do because of time. I would suggest taking snacks or packing a picnic as you really didn't have time to buy a lunch. At a couple of the attractions you were offered ice cream to buy, but not anything more substantial. Both the dinner entertainment and the Polynesian show after dinner were awesome. Going back a 2nd time, I would go on my own and wander.

Very cool experience
I had never snorkeled before and they really walked you through everything. Got to see lots of neat fish, no dolphins however. We did see several turtles. Weather was a bit spotty and we were in some pretty good size swells. I don't know that I would recommend this for smaller children. They have spotters in the water, but it is open ocean and alot can happen,

Amazing
This was an incredible hike through a rainforest to a waterfall. It was definately a workout. Bring your bug spray and hiking shoes. I took only my tennies and they got pretty muddy. Guide was extremely knowledgeble and very educated. Lots of great information as given. If given the opportunity, between returning the way you came or going the long way back. Take the long way, there is one part that is pretty steep, you have to go down holding a rope.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Pure enjoyment
Despite the drizzly weather, this was a blast. Met lots of new people. The entertainment was all really good. Our tour guide was very funny and kept us entertained on the way out and back.
