Amazing First Surfing Experience
We had such a great time! It was my first time surfing, and he explained everything so clearly at the beginning. Then we headed straight into the ocean and surfed the whole time.
Even as a beginner, I was able to ride waves thanks to him! He’s super friendly and very attentive to safety.
I’d love to take his lesson again when I’m back in Hawaii!

Expect a lot of people...
Expect a lot of people from other excursions in the water. But once you're in the water, take your time to appreciate what you're doing. There's another world below the surface. Schools of fish everywhere. Turtles were on the bottom of the sea floor and some breached the surface for air before they dove back down. The ride was comfortable and the crew were very knowledgeable and super friendly. A great way to spend 2 hours of your day.

Awesome Surf Instructors
The people at Ohana Surf Project were helpful, supportive, and laid back. Maddie in the office was more than willing to answer any questions and help with anything before the trip. Our lesson was with Kevin and he was supportive and encouraging and told us exactly what we needed to do to get up and have the best surfing experience. He was knowledgeable and chose the waves that would give us the best chance. Chelsea was taking photos/videos also gave advice on surfing. We had a semi private lesson which meant that there were two of us in our group with one instructor and about three other groups with their instructors sharing the same space. The instructors would all look out for the group in terms of safety but they focused their lessons only on their students. We had an awesome time, everyone got up on the board who wanted to, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a surf lesson, especially beginners.

100/10 experience.
It was fantastic! The crew was very informative and helpful as well as funny, very attentive. We saw quite a few different types of fish, as well as beautiful green turtles. They check before letting everyone off to make sure you see some ocean life :) the slide was great for all ages, the experience was more than I could asked for! I will recommend these guys time and time again! We rented a go pro and they were extremely helpful with getting the pictures uploaded to are phone. One tour guide even helped up get an amazing video of one of the turtles!!!! The boat was very clean and very nice. We saw dolphins and even a whale on the way out :) you won’t be disappointed:)! I do recommend you know how to swim, it doesn’t have to be life guard level but doggy paddle will get you pretty far with the floaters and flippers and all that they provide. They do make sure to address that, and are fine helping you and even encourage you to talk to the in private if it’s something you don’t want the whole boat knowing :) I would rate it 100/10

Fantastic Time!
It was an absolutely beautiful sand bar with all the sea life you would want to see! We saw 6 turtles and that was just on the way there! And more wonderfully colored fish once we snorkeled. Jasmine was fantastic, so bubbly and energetic and kept the environment fun and exciting, when we saw new things. Captian Z was great! Highly highly recommend!! We also lounged and paddle boarded cant wait to book it again for our next trip!!

Best Voyage Yet
What can I say? This boat ride was EVERYTHING and more! Kyle, Johnny, and Justin made sure everyone felt welcomed and included throughout the whole time. I beat cancer last year, and for them to go above and beyond to make me feel special was life-changing. Justin driving the boat was phenomenal! Don’t waste anytime just BOOK!

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!!!!

Fun atmosphere!
Our departing location changed the day before our sunset sail, so we ended up taking off on Waikiki Beach (much closer to our hotel!). The staff was really wonderful and made us feel very safe, even with large waves. The atmosphere is party-like, which for us was a huge plus! There was no sunset on our sunset sail, but the views of the island were still astonishing. We got to see whales too which was incredible (and helped us save money because we didn’t have to book a separate whale tour). Plus, open bar! 🍹🍺

Be prepared to pay a little more when you arrive
These guys were very professional and helpful. We had a great time. Just be aware, you will end up paying another $100 on top of what you paid for this excursion. You'll pay fuel service charge, parking, pictures, and tip. But, it's Hawaii, so I guess it's par for the course with everything in paradise.

Rainbow Helicopters is first rate!
The Rainbow Helicopter team is professional and helpful. They are really responsive to questions through the Viator app.
Josh was the pilot for today's flight. He was excellent handling the bird and answering questions. It was my first helicopter ride and I felt confident in his ability to show us around the island and get us safely back on the ground.

Excellent tour
This was a great tour and the guide was excellent at both sharing stories on the way to and from Pearl Harbor, but also preparing us to get the most out of our time at the USS Arizona and USS Missouri.
Our time was adjusted due to availability of the boat shuttle to the Arizona memorial, but that is common. Communication on the change was excellent: a text, call and email.
I would recommend this tour to anyone. We appreciated the pickup in Waikiki near our hotel!
