I really wanted to enjoy this tour, but unfortunately didn't have a great experience. It was very…read morewindy and the water was extremely choppy. Multiple guests were getting seasick, as the Captain tried his best to navigate the waters. One guest nearly fainted and after that, the atmosphere on the boat changed. The Captain wasn't talking much and it seemed as if he just wanted to get back to the dock. Knowing the weather conditions, I wish the tour was rescheduled. We saw some fish and barely saw a turtle. I know the tour doesn't guarantee seeing wildlife, but it was disappointing hardly seeing anything in the glass bottom. To add, the glass bottom is just 4 boxes that you have to peek over to see. I didn't get seasick, so it was still nice to be out on the water and enjoying the views of the ocean. Prior to the incident, the captain was very educational and funny. Overall, had the tour been on a different day with more permitting weather, I think it would've been great.

Secret getaway spot in Downtown, Honolulu, Hawai'i…read more.. Located in the Topa Financial Center on Bishop Street, Honolulu Rooftop Garden is free to enter! Just find the elevator near the Security Desk and catch it up to the 6th Floor. Then, take the stairs up (about 3 and a half flights). There was a beautiful view of Aloha Tower! We enjoyed several benches and a picnic table! The plumeria trees and other foliage were thriving! Most of all, we liked the peaceful, clean, safe environment!

Unexpected find…read more.. After having lunch at a cafe in the building I decided to bring my drink to a place that I heard about...the rooftop garden. I just had no idea of the space that's free to the public to enjoy is a nice space along with the views as it's been awhile since I've gotten an ocean view at my leisure though don't expect shangrila but a nice outdoor space in the midst of downtown. Honolulu Rooftop Garden is on top of Topa Financial Center "Parking Garage" so getting there you need to take the parking garage elevator which is right next to the security desk to the 6th floor and take about three flight of stairs (not three levels) and poof there it is. It's basically all green with lightly shaded seatings surrounded by plumeria trees is very lush and well maintained where one side is the side of Topa building so there's no mountain breeze which did get quite hot and the other is the view of Aloha Tower and Honolulu Harbor is a unique sight that I normal don't see but will probably enjoy this space during cooler seasons and appreciate the time it must take to keep it clean and open to the public. Thank you!

We did the trip to Moku Popoia which was perfect for getting to experience being out on the water as well as learning about the area.

The area is a great spot to experience a cool part of the island with solid food options close by and having beach access.

Even though we have done this excursion many times, there's always a twist. On our latest adventure, we got to see five monk seals, with two of them playing in the ocean like little puppies.

This experience solidified our decision to book Kailua Beach Adventures on our next trip to Oahu.

The ocean was clear and beautiful the day we went. We learned a lot about coral preservation and the animals while on the tour too. I usually do not like close quarters, but I was comfortable the whole time. It's a very roomy submarine. Having been, I feel like everyone should go at least once! We saw lots of different fish, 2 turtles (Timmy and Tina), an eagle ray, and the other side of the sub saw a shark-very cool!

If it hadn't been for the care and compassion of Maya, I probably would've cried. I get motion sickness, but my kids were so excited about going on the submarine finally that I took Dramamine and threw caution to the wind. However, after the 15 to 20 minute boat ride over to the submarine, I'm sure my face was green. Although the submarine itself was 10 times more stable and calm and felt like the interior of an airplane, I was very concerned I was going to get sick in front of lots of strangers and had to exit the submarine very quickly. I left my tween kids there to experience the submarine by themselves, which is fine because my oldest son is on two swim Teams and basically a lifeguard. However, the boat had to come back and get me off the top of the submarine and it was very embarrassing and once again, I cannot say enough about how well the staff handled it and didn't make me feel silly. or stupid at all. I even bought some of the photos to laugh about the incident later. We had already gotten the military discount, but they offered to refund my portion of the submarine ride, which I very much appreciated. I would recommend this company to all of my friends. My sons loved seeing the 9 sea turtles & Hawaiian wildlife.

But I'm so glad I gave it a chance because the experience was nothing like I imagined. It opened my heart and senses in a way I didn't expect, helping me slow down, reconnect, and truly appreciate nature. It was surprisingly emotional and deeply grounding for me. If you're even slightly curious about it, I highly recommend giving it a try. It might impact you more than you think.

The forest itself was welcoming, beautiful, and peaceful; and culminated in a stunning view. Phyllis is both a wealth of knowledge and a warm presence.

We will take what insights we learned with us home and into the future. Thank you, Phyllis, for this memorable and meaningful experience.
