What are people saying about Oahu

Diamond Head Hiking Tour with Ticket and Reservation Inclusion

Yogesh_M, Apr 2026

Highlight of our trip

Great experience. Worth the early morning wake and hike around 6:00am. Views are breathtaking of the ocean and waikiki. Driver was knowledgeable, but they only drop you to the parking lot. You then follow the crowd. There are rough terrain, narrow tunnel, and hundreds of steps to climb. Be prepared and wear hiking shoes.

Shark Cage Diving On "The World Famous North Shore of Oahu", Hawaii

Jared_S, Mar 2026

Great experience

It was overall a great time. They made accommodations for the cloudy water becuase of the storms. They were able to give us the best experience with what Mother Nature provided. Friendly staff. Captain Lou and Koma were great. (Ship Kamalo? Big silver boat) not sure on spelling.

Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour - 2nd Tour

Melanie_B, Mar 2026

Excellent adventure!

Jamie and Karen and the Captain and crew were all friendly and helpful and we saw all kinds of cool ocean life. Great drinks and snacks and equipment. Highly recommend especially if you’re not the most confident swimmer as you can stand in the water if you don’t want to go to the deep water.

Haleiwa River Paddle Board Rental with Blue Planet Adventure Co.

Mike_M, Feb 2026

Do It - Amazing

This is now our third time with this company! Amazing every time! Turtles swimming around us. Turtles basking in the sun! Even with flood water - it’s so fun! Easy to navigate as you have two ways to go. Up the river or to the ocean! My 8 year old rocked it and good for everyone young and old! Highly Recommended

Kualoa Ranch Jurassic Adventure Tour

Sarah_H, Feb 2026

Gorgeous vistas and fun for movie fans

Our family of 5 did the Jurassic adventure tour, mainly because my 9 year old is a big fan of the movies. There are 3 stops where you get out to see specific sets from the various Jurassic movies, and th tour guide explains how the scenes were shot, what was augmented via CGI etc.. She also pointed out where other movies were filmed as we passed those areas. The setting in general is stunning, gorgeous drive. We drove over from our hotel in Waikiki, stopped for lunch down the road at Yummy Huli Huli chicken (it was indeed yummy) and spent the afternoon at the ranch. The Jurassic tour was just under 2.5 hrs.

Snorkeling with Sea Turtles in Waikiki Hawaii Boat Tour

Alex_W, Jan 2026

Rockstar staff, standout tour from pickup to drop off

Unbelievable experience! We saw tons of fish, 8-9 turtles, and a pod of dolphins!!!! The tour size was pretty small, definitely manageable for Captain Ryan, Sam, and Wylie (sp?). Sam and Wylie were in the water the whole time, pointing out different wildlife and sharing knowledge. The staff was bilingual (English and Japanese), and their chill vibe really made it a great trip. The crew is professional, and they take safety seriously. One tourist had a medical emergency, and the staff took care of him with confidence and composure. Lastly, the pickup and drop off were on time, the bus was clean, and the driver was friendly. A+++ overall. I intend to bring my family back the next time we visit Hawaii!!

Very professional and the team had great vibes, really enjoyed the music on the boat. It was a bit windy the day we went, but nevertheless, it was a great experience. Also, the view was incredible of Honolulu and Diamond head. Loved the energy from the lady in the booth, very friendly and informative. About other excursions that we could do around that area. Very pleased with the overall experience would definitely recommend as a first time para seller. I had a blast.

Waikiki Snorkel Tour – Small Group Experience + Free Videos

Sev_I, Jan 2026

OMG this experience was...

OMG this experience was AMAZING and honestly worth way more than what I paid. I first thought it was a scam because it was so affordable — but WOW, it exceeded all expectations. Daniel was an incredible instructor, constantly checking in and making sure I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. He took photos and videos for FREE, which turned out absolutely beautiful. I didn’t even know how to swim before this, and it was totally beginner-friendly. If you’re nervous or new, this is 100% the place to try. Highly, highly recommend! Definitely highlight of my trip!!!!

Tandem Skydiving with GoJump in Hawaii

Joan_D, Dec 2025

I've wanted to have the...

I've wanted to have the skydiving experience for years. This year on my 64th birthday I finally did it! Go Jump was a great experience. The entire team was outstanding from the driver who picked me up at the hotel to the jump instructor, the pilot and the camera man who recorded my experience. The only thing I didn't like was not knowing until arriving at the jump site there were additional charges. I paid through Viator but upon arrival the day of my jump I was given a list of additional charges. I paid an additional $350 for the experience which was not expected. Thankfully I had the additional funds. My jump ended up costing more than my roundtrip airfare to Hawaii. I also tipped the staff so the total was pricey but overall worth it!

Oahu 5-in-1 Deluxe Cruise: Turtle Snorkeling & Ocean Activities

Sara_S, Dec 2025

Great for families.

We had a great time, booked with a couple of other families. Our kids had a blast!! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun day of boat activities. Also recommend sea sickness pills or patches if you have any issues that way you can enjoy all the activities. Staff and captain are really great! Make the experience enjoyable and safe.

Oahu Deluxe Grand Circle Island Tour

Tammie_S, Nov 2025

Excellent tour and even better guide!

Our original company cancelled last minute so this was a quick pick on a wing and a prayer. The bus was super comfortable and our driver, Mo, was absolutely outstanding. She was friendly, polite, funny, and crazy informative. She knew history, geography, legends, any answer to any question...and made us feel like Ohana. It was a pretty inclusive tour giving us a sample of all Oahu had to offer. Mahalo!

Waikiki Snorkeling & Ocean Waterpark Adventure from Oahu

Trisha_L, Jul 2025

The Crew was amazing,...

The Crew was amazing, captain Marlee, Ian and Tay. The boat was very nice and lots of room to move around. The equipment was high quality and cleaned in front of us so you could feel confident using it. We sadly only saw 1 turtle when we were boarding to boat to leave, but I understand the animals can’t be predicted. Still a fun day
