Waikiki Beach Yoga & Yoga Hikes

Waikiki Beach Yoga & Yoga Hikes is best Yoga in Honolulu! Classes are right on the beach and are so relaxing. Each instructor is amazing in their own way and really help you expand your potential. Not only that but the hikes are just as amazing. Karen lead us on a yoga mindfulness hike that was unlike any hike I have ever done. This is a must for anyone coming to Oahu for vacation and even for locals too!

I had the pleasure of enjoying a sunset yoga session on the beach. The location is ideal with palm trees, the breeze, and a great instructor. I am not a pro, so I was a little nervous going in, but there was no reason to be as the class has people of all age groups and levels. I had a great time strengthening my core, focusing on my breathing, and trying new poses. There was no pressure to push too hard and just being there brought me back to my center. Recommend to everyone!

This 9am yoga class did not work well for me.

PROS: The instructor was very nice, the directions to the class were clear, and the venue on the beach is amazing.

CONS: (1) There was a group with a speaker playing drum and bass super loud about 50 ft away, which made it difficult for me to focus on my breath and find an internal rhythm (and at times, to hear the instructor).  (2) The instructor moved between poses way too quickly for me; maybe this is just personal preference, but it felt like more of an aerobics or stretching class, less like a breathing-based yoga class.  (3) Lastly, and this may also be a personal preference thing, but there were a lot of digital devices involved, which I find distracting (students in the class were taking cellphone photos during class and there was a young woman sitting immediately behind the instructor using an iPad during most of the class).  All in all, this class did not work for me.

The classes are so soothing with the relaxing atmosphere of the ocean and palm trees. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about coming since classes are all levels and the instructor checks in with everyone beforehand to make sure everyone’s needs are addressed. Location can’t be beat!

Best location for Yoga. You are outdoors right by the water, on grass. I took one class with Ali and one with Olivia during sunset. The classes have Vinyasas for warm up and then you get into some deeper stretches. The atmosphere is very relaxing. It's perfect to practice yoga while watching the sunset or to start your day. The owner is very thoughtful and helps people finding the class. They have red triangles, so you can't miss it.

Maunakea Marketplace

I’m not sure what we expected when we came here, however, to say it did not meet expectations would be an understatement.

We walked around to see if there was anything interesting, but sadly it didn’t appear there was anything we wanted to get. My father-in-law wanted to buy a Hawaiian shirt, but I’m not sure how that conversation went considering he doesn’t speak English.

We took some pictures, browsed a bit more and left after 15 minutes.

This place is great!! The thai food, Vietnamese food, dim sum, and especially all the fresh produce, meat, and fish selections.

If you are in Honolulu I would highly suggest you stop by this market. A lot of the items that you find in Waikiki will be here for a much better price. The people here are very friendly and have a ton of advice of places to visit. If you love interacting with locals, stop by.

A mini food court of authentic Filipino, Chinese, Korean, n Vietnamese foods. Outside a array of kiosk shops selling a variety of clothes, accessories along with souvenirs of the Chinese cultures. Outside and indoor seating. Restroom is a hassle to get the key for and is on the second floor.  Handicap accessible but a tight squeeze at some points.  Except a lot of people all the time since it's a regular gathering place for the local asian community. You also can find a lot of exotic culturally influenced produce. Enjoy ur visit.  Ps. Parking can be a challenge.  I suggest getting there via the bus or taxi.  Biki bikes are also a good solution

Wahiawā Botanical Garden

Open free to public with small parking lot. Beautiful tropical garden with exotic trees and plants. Some of the trees are very tall, or rare. There are pathways to self-guide visitors. Near the left end side of the park, there is stair-down paths to lower section of the garden. Bring bug repellant just in case as the lower section is moist and shaded.

Ended up here and found this gem after touring the Dole Plantation (the garden there is not worth paying for) This place was absolutely stunning,  grounds are perfect for pictures and with paved and marked trails. There are guard rails installed because it does get slick and some of the trails are steep. Great array of botanicals, trees, and wildlife. And Best of All it's FREE. Decent size parking lot. We went on a Wednesday afternoon at around 2:30 pm and we were literally the only people there for a good hour. Bathrooms are clean as well. They do close at 4 pm and they close off the parking lot so be sure to be out of the gardens by then. Definitely a must stop place of you are in the area worth the stop for a few hours to explore.

This is a nice free garden to visit that has some fairly short hiking paths through rainforest scenery. Some of these paths can be steep and include stairs so be prepared for that if you want to fully explore the gardens. All in all, it was a nice stop to pass some time and take in some of the unique nature.

This was a wonderful place to visit! I have always wanted to see a rainbow eucalyptus tree and they have several beautiful ones here! There is a self-guided tour that allows you to learn some interesting facts about the different foliage, although the numbers are a bit out of order. It was surprisingly large and easy to spent as long or as short a time as you choose. Keep your eyes open for the lizards! They are super fast but we saw a several during our hour and a half exploring this garden. Next time I will pack a lunch and sit on one of the many benches in the shade! Definitely need to take water and bug spray.

Beautiful escape to nature if you are in the area. The gardens are well maintained, and the tree coverage is perfect on hot days. And there is no fee!

Ahukini Recreational Pier State Park

A nice place to chill if before your flight back home if you have nowhere else to go. It's really close to the airport, although there's not much to do here except enjoying the view.

This is a nice little fishing spot. There is a jetty that holds tons of beautiful aquarium fish. The water is beautiful and clear. the drive to the spot is a bit sketchy. Lots of abandoned trashed cars and lots of litter on the side of the road.

Beautiful and don't forget to feed the cats!

Super pretty spot to be fishing and watching the planes coming in for a landing. We saw a few turtles swimming and a barracuda. The covered sitting area on the pier is nice too. Plenty of pole holders too if you don’t want to be always holding your pole.

This recreational pier is in ruins.  However, the views from the pier and around are nice.

Airborne Aviation

Worth every penny!! We had the best time on this tour. Our pilot was Max and he was so knowledgeable about all of the different areas and had an amazing play list to match. If you have the opportunity to try this excursion, don’t pass it up! 10/10 would recommend

Absolutely amazing and extremely worth it. I gifted this to my dad for his 60th and he said it was “the best thing he has ever done”. Our pilot Kate was amazing and the whole crew was great. They put us at ease and everything ran so smoothly. The doors off experience is super worth it and gave us the best views we could possibly have. I thought it might be pretty scary but everything ran so smoothly that I was relaxed and could enjoy the entire flight. Definitely want to do this again next time I’m in Kauai and would urge everyone I know to try it!

Once in a lifetime experience but we will definitely go again!!! The stunning geography of this island is like nothing I’ve ever seen! Pure amazement and beauty that left us speechless! Our pilot was knowledgeable and very relaxed which was comforting to me with the doors of experience. What a rush! And the amazing ground crew were so lovely and accommodating to us with rescheduling due to weather and helping us with our kids. I can’t say enough good things about this company! Highly recommend!

Awesome experience! The doors off helicopter tour is a must. The staff at Airborne Aviation was friendly and fun and knowledgeable. My husband said, "I don't know what we paid, but it was worth double that."

My husband and I are on our honeymoon and we booked this a while back. I was so scared to go but we just had to. Max made our experience phenomenal. He was calm, knowledgeable and just generally nice. Everyone was so helpful and kind as well. The tour itself was breathtaking. We had no words to describe it. 100/10 recommend and would go a million times over.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Fabulous experience.  This was my first helicopter ride and staff put me at ease.  Steve was a fabulous pilot and did his best to make sure we all had the best photos and videos.  We had a clear day and flew to highest point and into volcano.  This was. the only way to truly see the coast and canyon!

Absolutely amazing experience with Blue Hawaiian! Our pilot, Robert, was professional, knowledgeable, and fun! He managed to make this group flight feel personalized to each passenger. There is no better way to see the breathtaking views of Kauai’s natural beauty than from the sky. This is a must-do for anyone visiting the island!

One of the best experiences of our vacation on Kauai. A chance to see the whole island,  so much of which you can't see by any other way.  The extra splurge for the front seats next to the pilot were well worth it for the unobstructed view. Also loved the sound track that was played during the tour! Steve was an awesome pilot!

Wow! What an amazing experience, and this allowed my husband who is a wheelchair user to see things we’d never be able to hike to (and we were unable to get a boat that was accessible to see the Na’Pali coast).
I was a bit nervous at first but our pilot, Robby, instantly put us at ease and it was a thoroughly enjoyable trip.
The scenery was spectacular, the music was great and the commentary was so helpful.
For wheelchair users, there is a seated lift that allows you to make a level transfer from your wheelchair, you stay seated while the seat goes up an incline, then you slide over onto the helicopter seat. The ground crew was SO helpful and patient. 5 stars all around!!!

A definite “must do” when in Kauai!  Absolutely the best thing we did! Kauai has so many beautiful places that can’t be reached by car or boat, this helicopter tour took us to breathtaking places we’d never had been able to see—-and I mean breathtaking ! The staff at Blue Hawaiian were professional and friendly.  Pilot Derrick was amazing!  He first put us at ease by giving us his credentials—extremely capable pilot. Great storyteller of the land, it’s history, etc. He is so passionate about the landmarks and the heart and soul of Kauai. Great use of music as you round each turn. Just when you think the place you are looking at is so beautiful, you turn the corner, and there is another one even more beautiful!  Pictures cannot do justice to these amazing places to see. You just gotta take the tour!!!  You have to FEEL it!  Never one time was I scared about the flight.  We had great weather and our tour was at 10:10. We took some pictures but wanted to purchase the video of our tour with all the commentary, and it had several cameras capturing the footage of everything we saw. Would recommend purchasing video in advance. Saves a little money. Will recommend Blue Hawaiian to all our friends coming here and huge shoutout to pilot Derrick!  Keep doing what you are doing!

Island Helicopters Kauai

AMAZING!! This was the highlight of our trip to Kauai. This was our first time visiting and it was a great way to see the whole island. The trip was about an hour and it took you all around the island and to the Jurassic Park waterfall. The waterfall was BEAUTIFUL! It was a little windy that day and wish I brought my rain jacket because the waterfall is huge and you will get a little wet. But it is SO worth it. The waterfall is unlike anything I’ve ever seen! Also it’s great because the tour are the only ones with access to the waterfall so it’s was just us and the captain. The ride was also so smooth , I had never been on a helicopter before and it was so smooth and relaxing. It was awesome! Totally recommend!

Best Island Air Tour on Kauai! Traveling solo was a blast but the people you meet really do make a trip in my opinion. I booked the Jurassic falls and island tour and you should too! Yes you actually get to land and walk around the iconic waterfall backdrop from the Jurassic park helo landing.  First, the facility. Very clean and professional, easy to locate and the office staff were engaging and knowledgeable. Second, the aircraft. The AS-350's are clean, comfortable and offer amazing views from any seat. Last but certainly not least, the pilot. Brent was an amazing pilot and host with a rich family history of current and former pilots. Talk about passion for a job, there's no one I'd rather fly with than someone who's found their calling. The takeoffs, in-flight maneuvers and landings were super smooth and his ability to engage with the guests with information of the island were unmatched. Worth every penny for the experience received and then some so don't forget to tip your pilot!

10/10 I will absolutely recommend this company to anyone. If you're hesitant to fly in a helicopter I promise there's no better group to instill confidence through performance.

Amazing experience.  Brodi was our pilot and made it such a safe and memorable experience.  Taught us a lot about the culture of the island.  The first leg of the journey was the falls and then a brilliant tour around the island. It was magnificent

What a truly amazing experience!! We booked last minute upon arriving in Kauai and were not disappointed. As lifelong fans of the movie, this experience is a must do. But if that wasn’t enough, the full tour of the island and the Napali coast blew us away. Our pilot, Brodi, was amazing, knowledgeable and kind. After we left we just kept saying how it was the best vacation activity we’ve ever done! Thanks again!

Island Helicopters Kauai, located in the heart of Hawaii, offers a thrilling experience that immerses visitors in the breathtaking beauty of the island. During our unforgettable journey, we were captivated by the majestic Jurassic Falls and the remarkable panoramas that unfolded before our eyes. The skilled Asian pilot guided us expertly, ensuring our safety while providing insightful commentary throughout the trip.

However, we were disheartened by the restrictions imposed during the excursion. Our desire to capture the memories with personal attire was hindered by the pilot's decision not to allow us to remove our black loaner shirts, which limited our photographic opportunities. Additionally, the feeling of being rushed left a slightly sour note, detracting from what should have been a leisurely and immersive experience.

Despite these shortcomings, the overall adventure was undeniably awe-inspiring, granting us a unique glimpse of the island's natural wonders. Yet, the missed opportunity for personalization and the hurried pace did leave us yearning for a more tailored and relaxed encounter.

Booked: October 4, 2023 (Private Tour)
CHECK-IN at 8:45 AM
for a 9:30 AM departure.

Kauai Plantation Railway

Awesome tour. Highly recommended. Kai was our guide for the 3.5 hour tour! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Bring a bag with you on this tour, depending on the season, you get to sample all different varieties of fruits and take some with you as well! Lunch was great, we chose two different things so we could share. Fresh catch sandwich was awesome.  If you come to Kauai definitely add this to you to do list. Priced very good with everything you get on this trip! Mahalo Kai!!

We booked 3 separate excursions and this was by far my favorite. I recommend doing the nature walk tour with train ride. Well worth it. Kai was our guide. Super knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend going towards the beginning of your trip rather than the tail end as they let you pick fruit to take home. And I tell ya the fruit is delicious!!!!

We had so much fun on the Plantation Railway! Even the guys in our group enjoyed it (we originally planned that just the girls would go, but the guys joined us & they were glad they did). The conductor & narrator were both very friendly and fun. It was very interesting hearing about the different fruit trees and vegetation on the island. Halfway through the train ride, we stopped to feed pigs, chickens, cows, and a horse. It was so much fun! The cows were hilarious & would open their mouth wide for you to drop the food right in their mouths. You should go on the train! It is such a great value!

What a fun experience and great tour guide and engineer! We loved to feed the animals and hear about the crops grown on the plantation. Loved hearing the history and current use of the plantation! Would really have loved for the old mansion to be a tour and not a variety of gift shops, but at least they identified each room as what it had been at the time it was used as a home. It was stunning and spacious and I can only imagine how luxurious it was when it was a family home.

Lots of parking catching the first train ride of the day. They should make it obvious that you have to go inside to get a paper ticket for your reservation. 40 minutes went by quickly and it gets really crowded for the size of the small gift shop. Tour guide was decent with the history and dad jokes. We might have missed if they sold the fruit that they grow on site.

Kauai ATV

If I could give 10 stars, I would. This tour was amazing!!  Austin and Kasin were great, super knowledgeable and wonderful guides. If you are on Kauai you must, must, must take this tour. Please be ready to get messy. We went after a good rain so the puddles were awesome. Our guides were amazing. They told us about the history of the island as well as current island information. I cannot recommend this more. If your trying to figure out what to do while you're here, Kauai ATV should absolutely be one of the things on your must do list.

This ATV tour had good tour guides and fun trails to ride on. Try to go right after the rain as that makes for an even more fun ride. Highly recommend wearing shoes and clothes you don't mind getting completely drenched in dirt/mud. (After picture for reference, but doesn't do justice to how dirt/mud-filled we actually were).

I had the most incredible ATV adventure with Alex and Tori! It was an absolute blast from start to finish. From the moment we hopped on our ATVs, the excitement was contagious.

Alex and Tori were not only knowledgeable but also made the experience so much fun. They guided us through scenic trails and shared interesting facts about the surroundings along the way. Their enthusiasm for ATV riding was infectious, and it made the entire experience even more enjoyable.

The trails we explored were diverse and offered a variety of challenges, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced riders. We encountered thrilling terrains, from muddy tracks to steep hills, which added a sense of adventure and adrenaline to the ride.

What I loved most about this ATV adventure was the breathtaking views we encountered throughout the journey. We rode through dense Hawaiian forests, witnessed stunning landscapes, and even stopped at a picturesque viewpoint to take some incredible photos. It was a truly immersive and awe-inspiring experience.

Safety was also a top priority during the entire adventure. Alex and Tori provided us with the necessary safety equipment and gave clear instructions on how to operate the ATVs. They were always attentive and ensured that everyone felt comfortable and secure throughout the ride.

Overall, my ATV adventure with Alex and Tori was an absolute thrill. It was an adrenaline-pumping experience filled with laughter, stunning scenery, and a great sense of camaraderie. If you're looking for a fun and exciting ATV adventure, I highly recommend joining Alex and Tori for an unforgettable ride.

Chose this as a last minute (week in advance) activity when others in our large conference had gone. A few were on the fence but absolutely enjoyed all of it. They are very clear on the description about what is provided and how long the trip is. Driving was a lot of fun- we did get a bit muddy and the stops were great too. It provided different scenery and island information we hadn’t seen or heard before. Alex and Ason were kind enough to help me realize I hadn't discovered sea glass but micro-plastics. Funny but also sad.  They were very knowledgeable on the questions we asked also. Would highly recommend. We had a blast!!!!!!

We went for the excursion dec 15 and really enjoyed the experience. Guides were great and informative. Tour was an opportunity to see the landscape inside this area and to learn about the past. Would highly recommend as part of the Kauai experience.
