Honolulu Water activities

It would have been better if we could have placed our orders while seated. Having to go all the way back inside the boat to order was a hassle. I wish they had thrown in about three drinks on the house.

I had a great time as a boat rider !! captain and her assistant was accommodating while we all wait for the ones in the cage. ill be back next time with family and friends and be in the cage. hehe

The day we went skydiving was right after Hawaii's strongest typhoon had passed. Although it looked sunny from the ground, once we took off, we realized the clouds were too thick for a safe landing. Our first attempt to take off wasn't successful, but we tried again shortly after and finally managed to have the experience. You need to hire a photographer separately, which costs about the same as another skydive, plus tips for both the instructor and the photographer. It's something to consider if you want a keepsake.

It's very convenient; the pier and check-in are right downstairs from the hotel. The submarine dive wasn't actually very deep, about 100 feet. The view of the fish on the left side that day wasn't as good as the right side, where someone reportedly saw a sea turtle.

Ushered onto a small boat (could be bigger so it’s less bumpy) and headed off the coast. I wished I was offered prescription snorkeling mask (other tour companies offered). The sharks came up pretty close at one point but that was brief. Kinda wished we saw more sharks but that’s not something they could control.

Chris, Adam, and Allison were great! Saw 5 turtles in the same spot and got to swim with a pod of dolphins. Highly recommend!

The detailed explanation before the experience was very easy to understand. Having a Japanese guide also made me feel at ease participating! Everyone was friendly, and I had a fun experience. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, I was able to see many dolphins just by watching from the boat. In calmer waters, even those who aren't good at swimming could enter the water, use the slide, and touch coral that the guide retrieved. For lunch, we were served delicious sandwiches. You can also get photos taken by the guide in the ocean, though there is a fee! I'm looking forward to receiving them!

We chose the highest altitude, but if you have children, I think it would be better to go with a lower one. We were told that if it got too high and scary in the middle, we could make an 'X' sign and they would adjust it, but in reality, once you're already up there, it was difficult to communicate with the captain. Riding the boat to the parasailing location was also a lot of fun! Overall, everyone was very kind, though there was one person who seemed a bit frustrated because of the language barrier.

Such a great experience! The process was super simple and well explained. Had 3 instructors, 1 was a foreign one for Japanese people but helped with others too. The instructors were super great, friendly and helpful. Actually managed to stand and felt I got plenty of attention and help. Thank you to Niko, Kelani and the other instructor (I'm sorry I couldn't remember your name!) Would recommend. Best for groups of even numbers so you're partnered up😊
