The boat ride was substantially shorter than the advertised time, 1 hour 15 minutes vs. 2 hours. And there was only one working bathroom for over 100 people.

Once we got to the boat, Captain Zach was fantastic, and Leilani, our lovely hula dancer, added such a special touch to the whole experience. From start to finish, we loved every single second. The crew was fun, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. We were even lucky enough to see whales, which made the trip extra unforgettable! I've told everyone I know about this experience and can't wait to come back and try the dolphin tour next time. This place is absolutely a 10 out of 10--highly recommend!

This tour is very misleading online snd I want to make sure ppl know what they are signing up for…read more The staff was wonderful and very organized. But despite being called a "Dolphin and You" tour, there is only dolphin WATCHING from the boat -- no swimming with dolphins. They also only stop at one snorkel spot in shallow waters.m whereas most companies have you snorkel at 2. Maybe if I had never been on another tour, I would have thought this was good, but I'd only recommend this for people who want to mainly watch things from the boat and not snorkel. I honestly saw more marine life where I live in OC. On a previous tour with a different company, I swam in waters where dolphins were swimming all around and underneath me -- it was a core memory, and I was hoping to recreate that experience. They also don't let you swim very far from the boat, which made the experience feel overly restrictive. Because the website is not clear I will lay down the iternary: 6:00am pick-up from hotel (about 1.5 hrs to get there) Restroom stop at Fareharbor 1 hr dolphin watching--basically your just on a boat 1 hr snorkel--will see sparse fish 1 hr return--will give you sandwich and water cups no water bottles, temporary tattoo offered Return to hotel: another 1.5 hrs to drop everyone off etc Kind of waste of money $180+ and my precious vacation time. Also, be wary of the reviews. They offer incentives for leaving one. Sorry, but as a Yelp Elite, my honest opinion can't be bought.

My son and I took a mother-son trip to Hawaii and I let my son choose our excursions. He asked to…read morego parasailing and since neither of us had done it before, I was down. We didn't book in advance. I looked at several different places the night before and H2O Sports Hawaii was the best fit for our short turnaround. We arrived early and were checked in right away. After a short wait, our ride came to pick us up. There was only one other couple who signed up for parasailing at the time of our booking, so it was just the four of us on the boat the whole time. We chose the Higher Flyer 800' option, which is the highest they will go. The website says it's 45-60 minutes on the boat and six minutes in the air. I think we were in the air for a few minutes longer, which was really nice. I wish we had a hands-free camera with us because the view was unreal. However, they did take photos of us which we later purchased. The staff on the boat were wonderful and helpful. I was very impressed that they spoke multiple languages fluently. They really cater to tourists and generously gave great recommendations on where to go and what to see. I would recommend parasailing with H2O Sports Hawaii.

The jet ski crew on the water was excellent -- truly the only reason this isn't a 1‑star review…read more Unfortunately, the administrative staff completely ruined what should have been a great experience. Despite booking months in advance and confirming pricing over email, I was given incorrect information. I was told to book a lower‑priced package, only to be told on the day of the event that the price was actually higher -- the same price I originally expected before they told me to downgrade. When I showed them the email chain, instead of acknowledging their mistake, they were dismissive, snarky, and acted like I didn't understand their own packages. Then came the restroom situation. They asked if anyone needed to use the bathroom since there wouldn't be an option once we were out on the water. We said yes, and the response was, "Ours is broken, so go to McDonald's." That level of unprofessionalism is unbelievable, especially toward paying customers on their last day of vacation. If I hadn't prepaid months earlier, I would have canceled immediately. The attitude continued during the photo purchase process. We had two sets of photos and videos. We only wanted one set because we liked more pictures from that batch. When we explained that we only liked one photo from the other set, a staff member cut us off with, "We don't sell individual pictures -- you have to buy the whole thing." Exactly why we weren't buying it. The tone was rude and unnecessary. The on‑water team was great, but the administrative staff's attitude, poor communication, and lack of basic customer service overshadowed everything. Based on these interactions, I would strongly recommend choosing a different company for water activities in Oahu.

I was up next for Jet Skiing and I was able to hit maximum speed on the jet skis. I love to jet ski! I stay in Hawaii Kai when I visit Oahu so there are no issues with transportation getting to and from the Marina. If you are visiting, I recommended a car rental. There is plenty of free parking at the Marina. If you have to wait there are plenty of shops, Coconuts Shave Ice and Leonard's Malasadas at Koko marina. I highly recommend this place and plan on coming back again next year!

I was seeking to try something new, thus I decided to give Nocturnal Adventures a try. It first started out with a small tour along the coast to observe some sea life. We respectfully encountered multiple Hawaiian sea turtles. After that, we paddled over to view the fireworks. Watching the fireworks from the ocean on the light up paddle board felt like a movie.

No shortcuts, no cutting time short--just the full experience you paid for and then some . The views were unreal , the jet skis were solid , and the whole crew made it feel like a real island adventure --not a tourist trap .
