We were on the NCL Pride of American and wanted a beach day…read more Within 15 minutes of walking, here we were, the beach. We rented chairs and an umbrella. We thought we would get small beach chairs. Nope, we got nice lounge chairs! The umbrella was a must as it will rain on and off. Also, it provides nice shade. We were close to restrooms, shops, and Duke's restaurant. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We will book through them again.

Fear or not, this is a very fun, vulnerable and…read moretherapeutic time out in the outdoors to 2 very beautiful waterfalls that you get to both see and repel down. Katie and Matt were phenomenal guides and really created a safe space in what can be deemed as being scary to many. They furthermore create opportunities to bond and celebrate each other through the process of repelling and learning to repel, while knowing their audience and really bringing the perfect hospitality feel. This was well worth the money and the time that they give you out there - they also provide equipment and gear for you at no added cost, which has not been the case at many of the other things that we have done. They also will provide you with choices of how or where you can propel within your comfort and based on skills and teach you how to dry repel prior to actually doing it which really helps with boosting confidence - I was very fortunate and comfortable with being vulnerable and ventured through the waterfall! Cannot guarantee this to anyone, yet it made my experience very memorable and put me into a huge state of humility and peace. We will be back again and I hope it is sooner over later! I hope that people find this review invaluable as well. Cheers, Stephen

My daughter really wanted to do this but I had previous plans so I called them and they…read moreaccommodated her. This is the only people who do repel off of waterfalls, the concierge at our hotel did not even know about them so I made sure and called them and did a little research and booked it. She had to take an Uber and they sent us coordinates which was weird and she ended up walking a bit because it was on private land. The following is her review: Very cool . would do again. They remembered my name and made sure I had pictures and videos taken of me even though I was there by myself. Very encouraging and helpful on the waterfalls on the island. We did zip lining today and she said she like the waterfall repelling better. So I guess I must endorse these guys, next time I will go as well.

This is the only store in the area where you can get a women's swimsuit for less than $85…read more My husband and I had an issue with our flight where our checked luggage made it on the plane to go home, but we did not (airline issue.) We only had our carry-ons and the clothes on our backs. My husband and I needed some clothes and we decided to stop here because it was within walking distance of the Grand Hyatt where we were staying. We had stopped at other shops and either women's suits were running $50 per piece for a bikini or more. Luckily I was able to find a two piece swimsuit from Sea Level Swim Australia here for about $70 due to a 50% off clearance sale. My husband got a discounted pair of swim trunks in the $30 range. This store saved the day because I was not about to swim in a hotel in my undies. Visited: January 2023

Came here the next morning to at least find a swimsuit to enjoy the hotel pool for the day. It was about 1.5 mi walk from Grand Hyatt. Upon arrival, I found that due to a 50% clearance sale on certain items that this was the only affordable place in the area to find stuff under $100! My wife got a swimsuit from Sea Level Swim Australia for about 80 bucks (2-piece), while I got Billabong board shorts for $30!! Great deal! And a life saver too!! They also sell t-shirts, Aloha shirts, swim cover-ups, beach blankets, sunglasses, and more!

Borrowed some sets of clubs to play at the Wailua Municipal Course…read more Clubs were okay, lots of nicks and pretty worn grips on several. Bags were in good shape. Checking them out was a lesson in patience. We arrived while another group was getting set up to go snorkeling- and that was a decent wait. The group ahead was very thoroughly trained in their gear down to "here's how you apply sunscreen".....Staff are VERY thorough and the computer system was VERY slow. So don't come in a rush brah.
