Prior to our vacation, I signed up all three children for surf lessons ahead of time. The process…read morewas uncomplicated, my confirmation arrived via email within minutes, and all was set. The day arrived for the lesson and the kids were super eager. After meeting their instructors, we took a short walk to the beach. Everything was explained to us. We were all on the same page as far as making sure the kids understood what they're going to do, and my apprehension was put at ease. The two older kids (ages 9 and 8) were totally having the time of their lives. They rode tandem with the instructors and were surfing as if they'd been doing this forever by the end of their session. The little one (6 years old) had a little bit of a mishap. As he paddled out to ride a wave with his instructor, he wiped out - waves all over him, surfboard in the air, exactly what I had been anguishing over. My son and his instructor both recovered. The instructor tried getting him back on the board, but he wasn't having it anymore. The instructor brought him back to us to shore. We tried coaxing him back to surf, but fear already set in. Even my daughter's instructor tried getting him on the board with them, but he refused. Nevertheless, the experience was really cool. The instructors were relaxed and patient. They gave us great photo opportunities. The best part was the two older children were inspired to go out and surf some more.

Horrid customer service, they couldn't care less about their customers or business. I assume it's…read morebecause they think " Oh Well, they are tourists and likely won't return", wrong. We live here and often have visitors, we thought we found our spot to bring friends but this time we were wrong. 1. When I called, they said they were short staffed so they would only be open 11-3, totally get it. It's a small business and would love to support them but thought that was weird to preface a customer with " yeah you can rent but we are barley open today" 2. When we got there Roger seemed accommodating, we rented for 2 hours, but he asked us to return closer to 3 because he had to bring guests back to their hotel. We didn't need or want the extra hour but again obliged to help a small business we had young children with us and knew they wouldn't hold interest, plus it was pretty windy for the little dudes. 3. When my husband went to bring the items back Roger was 40 minutes late! So we waited an extra hour to turn in the rentals and then an additional 40 minutes waiting on Roger. 4. Then i realized my card was charged an extra $54.00. Attempted to communicate with the business via their 2 phone numbers and email... took a week after countless voicemails etc. 5. When i finally got a call back they said they undercharged us and fixed their mistake. Fine, understood. However, a notification would have been nice since i signed for the amount upon rental agreement. I just found this whole thing so unprofessional and disorganized. I was pretty upset we had to intention of doing business here again and sending others.

Our rental stuff arrived at the place we were staying at before we did. Needless to say, the whole process was quick and easy. There are many rental companies on Oahu but the Hawaiian Helping Hands' prices were very competitive and I am so happy we used them. We plan on using their rental services as well as some of their other services the next time we come to Hawaii.

I emailed them and they would write back within minutes every time I wrote. It's a must use company for vacationers!

This was my second time riding the Duck Tours. It's not a bad experience if you haven't tried it…read more The tour guide was very energetic and kind of kooky. There two parts to this Duck Tour. They first go on land and tour the downtown area showing the state buildings and statues. He told me some stuff about the state capitol that I didn't even know. He said the cone shaped things on the side of the building represented volcanoes and the water around it is the Pacific Ocean. I guess I learned something new today. He did have some trouble saying some of the Hawaiian words correctly but I don't think it bothered the tourists on there. My husband and I were the only non tourists. Most of them were from Japan so Duck Tours had a translator for them. My daughter loved riding in the road part. She liked being able to look outside of the open air vehicle and see people and things around her. After the land tour we did the water tour. We entered through the Ala Wai Harbor. The water was pretty dirty there but it was expected since we've had some pretty big rainfall recently. Thought I was getting sick because the waves were getting kind of big out there. But luckily we didn't stay out too long. We were able to see several surfers and paddlers, but no turtles today. Overall my mother in law really enjoyed it. She's been wanting to go on the Duck Tours for a long time. If you're a resident, the land tour is pretty good. I'm not much of a water person so I preferred the land. Great experience though.

It's alright and good bang for your buck. Not too bad if it's your first time in Hawaii…read more The first half of the tour is on land. It begins in Waikiki and wraps around Diamond Head and goes back to the boat harbor by The Ilikai Hotel and into Waikiki beach. The two men who run the tour are nice, but it seemed like they were stuck in the 80's or something since they kept making references to Gilligan's Island and dead celebrities that used to live in Oahu. Their jokes also didn't land well in the crowd of people we were with so it also felt a little awkward. Once we hit the ocean part of the tour it was much much better and there was less talking from the guides. The vehicle itself is pretty industrial looking, but still comfy. I think if they were to work on the guide part of the tour it would benefit. Both of the men are trying hard to be funny and witty, but it needs a soft balance.

I remembered a good friend from grade school lived there and in fact had a tour business. I called Linda and told her about my cousin. I forgot about the time change from the west coast so my 9am call was her alarm clock that morning. Whoops. They literally wanted to travel within a week. Linda gave her her personal contact info and asked me to pass to my cousin. Linda was able to book all there activities including a deep discount at a great beachfront hotel. She also saved them a ton on their activities. She even suggested several beaches and local eateries them. They had a great vacations and had activities every day. They inquired about an activity and she informed them it would be better from a different island. So they did not waste their time or money. They were so happy and now I am the favorite cousin.
