Best day ever!

The Big Kahuna is a perfect size boat, plenty of space to move around. Calos is an excellent captain, Laini and Brooklynn were great guides. We saw so many turtles, a reef shark, a monk seal...so much fun! Would definately recommend and will go again! Great time on the water!

Oahu Catamaran Snorkel Tour: See Turtles 100% Guaranteed

RenitaThapa, Aug 2026

Afternoon Snorkeling Tour!

Great tour, lots of sea turtles and fish!! I am so glad we chose this tour as it was a lot smaller compared to other tours out there and was able to be more intimate. We went on the afternoon tour and in our exact tour group there was only 5 of us so it was really nice! Margaret & Riley were great tour guides in the water and were excellent crew! They had good recommendations for food and Riley was very knowledgeable about the sea life!! Would definitely book again with this company & crew!!

Temisia_F, Jul 2026

10/10! Book now!

It was so fun! Easy to find & there’s affordable parking right by the meeting point. They had music playing while we were on the boat it was such a vibe. We did the 1000ft option and it was totally worth it. The crew was so nice & very welcoming, they also offer photos in the air with affordable pricing! When I come back to parasail again I’ll be going back to this specific business!

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

Amy_D, Jul 2026

Great trip!

The crew was great… they have a tough job! They are responsible for the safety of so many people and they take it seriously which they should as the conditions can make for a dangerous situation if one is not a strong swimmer. So listen to their warnings and obey directions and you will be fine. We got lucky and had like half of the people that the boat can hold. There was a swell coming in so we couldn’t see much but luckily, we saw two sea turtles, swimming along us as we were anchoring. It was just nice to be in that beautiful blue water and enjoy the ocean. They provided granola bars and some orange drink and water. I saw people with beer that they had brought on themselves. My husband and I did not use any of the inflatable stuff even though we had purchased the right to do so. I know that you can get a pink wristband which does not include the inflatables and pay a little less, but I’m not sure how to do that on their website. The boat is awesome and they get extra credit for playing a lot of great country songs! Thanks for a great time!

Premium Small-Group Oahu Circle Island Tour: Pali Wind Bath

kmwdoc, Jun 2026

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 and Diamond Head Parasailing Experience

Silvia_C, Apr 2026

Extreme Parasailing

I cannot recommend Waikiki and Diamond Head Parasailing enough. From start to finish, the customer service was outstanding. Our boat operators, Mark and Clyde, were fantastic—they were knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience. The views were breathtaking, but it was the friendly atmosphere and professional crew that truly made the day special. A must-do in Waikiki!

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!!!!

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.

Pearl Harbor: USS Arizona Memorial & USS Missouri Battleship Tour from Waikiki

Harry_G, Sep 2025

Wonderful Experience at Pearl Harbor

Awesome 9 hour tour. Will was great. He explained the process that we had to go through to see the USS Arizona Memorial. Everyone on our bus got ample time to see the memorial as well as a tour on the USS Missouri. After seeing both areas he took us to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific which was also so amazing and great views of Honolulu. He showed us and told us other highlights on the island. We really enjoyed the tour. He was prompt picking us up at our designated location.
