My son was putting it on and it ripped. The day of the return Paul was the person helping my wife. My wife told Paul the the other fin ripped. My wife called me on the phone about this matter. He was going to charge us $29 for the damage fin. I was pissed because those fins was old and thin already. I can understand If it's new. We didn't want to pay the $29. Aqua Zone was about to lose a customer and a bad Yelp review. Paul called the owner and the owner was nice enough to not charge us. So I'm a happy customer once again. Thanks to Paul for working with us about this problem. Aqua Zone is still our go to place!!

Had the best time snorkeling with sea turtles today!…read more Boat ride was ~20 minutes. Anchored out by Waikiki Beach, just past the surfers. The reef itself is not colorful like Finding Nemo, but there were plenty of fish to see and quite a few turtles swimming around. We saw a handful of large sea turtles and a few baby ones. Loved watching them come up for air and swim around beneath me. Glad to see how comfortable turtles are with snorkelers. We had one person chase after a large turtle to try and touch it. There's always that one kid in class... Crew members were great! Friendly, knowledgeable, and brief! My partner went diving and had a lot of fun seeing the little sharks down below in the caves of the reef and swimming with turtles. Water visibility was good, not as clear as Molokini in Maui, but this place had turtles!! I THINK they're limiting capacity due to COVID, which is nice since the boat only had 8 people. Definitely would do this again!

When your teenage son says, "TONIGHT we felt the spirit of Aloha", you realize that this experience was more than money can buy and better than any other adventure on the island! Thanks to Luis for touching base beforehand and for following up afterwards. Excellent customer service! Thanks to Yasou for the unique memories he captured for our family. We loved the photos and videos that we couldn't have captured on our own! Thanks to Ethan and Ka'aha for being the kind of guides that make you feel at home. Conversing with them was easy and enjoyable. We're still in awe of the huge turtles and majestic eagle rays that Ethan and Ka'aha pointed out swimming near/under our brightly lit boards. The beautiful sunset was followed by a sky blanketed with stars. It was truly a peaceful and soul satisfying experience to paddle board at night with Kealohi Surf!

He is easy to work with and an outstanding communicator. He answered emails and phone calls promptly, and was on time for each of our meetings. He was able to adjust his class to fit my schedule. My class was a one to one ratio, and you just CANNOT GET ANY BETTER than that. I still cannot understand why more people would not gravitate more towards this kind of instruction rather than the larger classes that the bigger shops tend to have. It was like having my own personal coach. I was completely at ease with him and learned a great deal. I plan to continue my education through Dave, and that says a lot.

Since it's been 12-15 years since my last dive, I truly appreciate Callum's simple/clear instruction. He gave us all confidence before even that first dive; a terrific experience, for sure. The whole team was careful and appropriate for planning the best time for a dive, given the recent storms. Captain D is super friendly and drives the boat to areas that we could see dolphins- no one was in a hurry that we had to be back to the port, knowing that we wanted to see dolphins and maybe a whale off in the distance.

I was in Waikiki for 5 days on a family vacation, but wanted to try and get some hitting in during…read moreour stay. Reached out to Albert (text is the best method) and arranged for 2 sessions on Tues/Thurs. He was able to accommodate very early start times (7am) so that I could be done before the family woke up. I'm a decent player (4.5 level) and really just wanted a good hit as opposed to lessons. As we were hitting I could tell Albert was a really high level player so I ended up asking him for some tips. He was more than willing to follow my lead and do what I wanted during the hitting session so we worked a bit on my forehand during the first session, and then on other strokes such as volleys, backhand, and serve on the 2nd. I've been playing tennis since I was 10 and had years and years of lessons. Was good enough to be offered some scholarships out of high school and have been rated as high as 5.0 as an adult. Regardless, Albert had some great pointers for all aspects of my game, which I found very helpful especially on my forehand, which I have been trying to "modernize" for some time. He was definitely able to teach this old dog some new tricks. He has a very good teaching demeanor, and was a super friendly guy that was fun to talk to and even better to hit with. He kept the hitting at a comfortable pace and didn't try to show off or hit winners all over the place to prove how good he was. He even gave me free overgrip when I asked him if there was a local tennis shop because I wanted to buy some tourna grip. Very reasonable rate as well. I would highly recommend him for lessons and/or hitting sessions in general. I'll definitely be contacting him again when we return to the islands. Thanks Albert!!
