“Great experience! Crew was cool! Lexi, Peter and the captain were so nice taking pictures for us and giving a great vibe. I just hate that we have to pay for the soda that was watered down. If it’s going to be flat and watered down, it should be at least included in the package. That’s my only issue. Other than that, it was a great experience.”

“My children and I chose this excursion because of it was 90 minutes instead of 2 hours. Although we didn’t see the Waikīkī skyline from the water, we could see it from our hotel and it was sufficient. The crew was nice and the vessel was clean and in great condition. We liked the music and the drinks. The vibe was relaxing and that’s exactly what we were going for. Riding the waves on the way out to sea was a thrilling experience! Highly recommend!”
