Waikiki 2 Hours Friday Night Fireworks Catamaran Cruise

Benedicto_M, Jul 2026

Whats better than a...

What's better than a Friday night fireworks show, on a catamaran, in Waikiki? NOTHING. The crew were WONDERFUL. Check in is quick and organized. Mo, our captain made sure we had the best view. LD and John and everyone else made this experience the best. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Pink Sails!

Oahu Circle Island Tour with Waimea Valley Waterfall

Perfect North Shore Tour for First-Time Visitors

This tour was fantastic, especially if it's your first time visiting Hawaii. It takes you along the beautiful North Shore and includes everything listed in the description. We drove past Diamond Head and stopped at several breathtaking beaches and scenic viewpoints. The shops were fun to explore, and the place where we stopped for lunch was excellent. My favorite part was visiting Waimea Valley Botanical Garden. It was absolutely breathtaking, and getting to swim beneath the waterfall made it even more memorable. Our driver was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information about the island throughout the tour. The only downside was that most of the stops were fairly short—usually about 20–30 minutes. Waimea Valley was a little longer, which I appreciated. That said, I understand there was a lot to see in one day. We ended up returning to a few of our favorite spots later in our trip so we could spend more time there. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting a great introduction to Oahu and the North Shore.

Leonani is the best.

Leonani- our tour guide and bus driver from the Pineapple Exp is the bomb. As a native Hawaiian, she so knowledgeable, giving us the history and stories alone the circle tour. Her ability to drive and simultaneously give such eloquent deliver is amazing. The small group tour is the way to go. Whichever group that ends up with her will be super lucky. Such a caring and kind person. Kevin SF, CA

Waikiki Catamaran Snorkel with Lunch Option: Turtles Guaranteed

A wonderful turtle tour with Hawaii Nautical

Five stars for Hawaii Nautical! The entire crew—Captain Christopher, Kelsie, and Cat—were absolutely fantastic, exceptionally friendly, and so helpful throughout the trip. The ride out on their huge catamaran was incredibly smooth and comfortable as we headed out to see the sea turtles. The absolute highlight of the day was an unexpected surprise: the crew got word that a super rare whale shark was in the area. They didn't hesitate and quickly got us over there to see it, turning an already great day into an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend this amazing crew!

Amazing Experience!

Emily was a phenomenal guide! She shared her knowledge of the island and she taught us some island history, overall the tour was a calm and comfortable experience (Emily also takes amazing photos!) The views are absolutely breathtaking. From the beaches, mountains, the stunning hike up the waterfall, to the incredible lookout points of the ocean, and it was perfect to end the day with delicious malassada’s from Leonards. Would definitely book the tour again!

Very nice tour, long up...

Very nice tour, long up hill climb but 2 hrs is enough to get up and down, even for a couple of 70+ year old. I would to have water for the hike not after, we ended up buying a bottle. Matthew did a good job driving and explaining about the area and what to expect on the hike

Kailua Bay, Oahu: Epic Kayak and Snorkel to Islands

Melanie_B, Apr 2026

Awesome Kayaking Adventure

We had such a great time kayaking from Kailua Beach to Na Mokulua island. The weather was perfect and the water was calm. The staff at Kailua Beach Adventures is so friendly and welcoming. They were very informative and helpful. It is five miles round trip, but you can take your time and stay on the island before heading back. The kayaks, safety vests, snorkeling gear and lunch were included in our package. We chose to do the self guided kayaking tour, but felt completely safe and informed before starting our adventure. We highly recommend booking your next excursion with Kailua Beach Adventures. They offer several options and packages. They also offer free onsite parking as well and their location is very easy to find. This was the highlight of our vacation.

Mahalo!

Henry is a wonderful tour guide. He provided historical information and was just a pleasure to be around. He was funny and made everyone feel like ohana. We didn’t get to do the north side of the island due to flooding but Henry was accommodating and showed great resilience when we had to detour. It is a very informative tour and I appreciated all that it offered. Mahalo for great experience!
