    Memory of a lifetime!!!!

    We would like to thank the whole staff. What an amazing experience we had. Everything was organized perfectly. The entertainment was awesome!!! We had a blast with the banana boat and inner tube. Nothing was rushed, we had enough time to enjoy all activities. They had a lifeguard on duty, while snorkeling and she even pointed out things to look for. We are definitely coming back next time we visit Hawaii, 100% and we highly recommend this experience to friends and family. We appreciate the spirit of Aloha, thank you our family will never forget this day!! Mahalo, see you soon.

    My 40th birthday

    It was such a fantastic experience! I really enjoyed the band on the boat; it made the experience even more enjoyable! Every crew member was super nice and accommodating! The activities offered were super fun, from the banana boat to the paddle board. It was a fantastic birthday, and one I will never forget.
