    Unforgettable Dolphin Tour Adventure with Captain Dani and Crew!
    The dolphin tour was absolutely incredible! We had the privilege of witnessing multiple pods of dolphins, and the snorkeling and slide activities added a ton of fun to the experience. The entire boat crew was exceptional, with a special shout-out to Captain Dani for allowing me to be her co-captain. ❤️

    Fun in the sea and sun activity!🌊🐠☀️
    The activities were great for our teens. They tried out all of the equipment. The crew was helpful and friendly. We spotted a sea turtle right after the boat anchored. The free tea and cold water was a plus. We didn’t snorkel so not sure how much sea life was around that day. I would definitely book this again should we return to Oahu.

    Above-and-Beyond Experience with Blue Ocean Snorkeling
    Above and Beyond experience and the same quality of experiencing once-in-a-lifetime events. It is totally worth your money, time, and why you choose your vacation spot in Waikiki, Hawaii. This turtle canyon snorkeling tour is operated by an amazing group of Koreans and a few non-Korean crews. Their dedication, and safety matter is top notice, and worth to mention how they handle with care for participants. I was afraid before going on this particular trip, but once I listened from the trip organizer how the team will provide the best service including distributing a life vest and demonstrating how to wear it properly. The team doubled check every participant wear a life vest by pulling out everyone's. Once you jumped into the ocean, you don't feel any fear of drowning. You feel safe, and comfortable, and enjoy every single moment of this valuable life experience.

    If you are Korean visiting from Korea or other states, please and highly recommend this amazing experience with the quality of the top, above-and-beyond crew.

    Enjoy your time and trip while you are staying in Waikiki, Hawaii.

    Please stay safe, and be safe.

    See you all til the next posting.

    Thank you.

    flexible and understanding employees made experience a breeze
    Brad and Micheal were super helpful with being flexible and understanding with the whole reservation. Helped set up and made the whole experience as smooth as possible. Although they couldn't deliver the kayak right to the beach due to new regulations, they were great with adapting and making the experience as easy as possible with loading the kayak onto my car and securing it. They even allowed the reservation time to be flexible and not only let me pick up the kayak after the designated time, but let us keep the kayak for the whole day as opposed to the 3 hour window I initially reserved. I understand that the company is undergoing transition and thus have been going though changes so I'm sure that these circumstances wont be permanent but they did a great job with being understanding and agreeable with making the whole experience great even without the direct delivery being available. Would use their services again and would recommend to anyone on the island looking to visit Mokoli'i island (chinaman hat island).

    Fun tour
    Fantastic tour. Michael was extremely knowledgeable, about the island. Great scenic spots he took us all to and food spots as well. Very respectful and had a lot of patience and a little sarcasm, which I enjoy, for us group of ladies. He had no problem making a couple extra pit stops and was always giving great suggestions on where to go, shop, eat. Overall would definitely do a tour with him again. Highly recommend

    Best activity in Waikiki :)
    We highly recommend this for anyone visiting Waikiki! Shane and Captain Neil did an excellent job teaching and guiding us through the different activities. They surfed right alongside us on the waves and always prioritized our safety. We saw plenty of fish and sea turtles as well! It ended with a beautiful sunset by the beach. Overall this was super fun and we’d 100% do it again!

    My trip around Oahu
    Michael is a great guide. He was both friendly and helpful. He knew a lot about Hawaii. He helped us a lot on our hike at Manoa Falls.

    Oahu Last Day tour
    Michael was a terrific tour guide. We have been to Oahu many times and just wanted to spend 6 hours doing anything except waiting at the airport. He customized the tour and made recommendations and we ended up seeing things we had never seen before. He recommended a great lunch spot and terrific dessert place. I highly recommend this tour.

    Great experience
    It was our first time kayaking and we had so much fun. Michael was very helpful and informative. We learned how to load and unload the kayak from our car, and even got some tips for how to kayak.

    Helped us find the Hawaii we dreamed of.
    Outstanding experience with Hanalei and Sara. It was obvious from the start that they were going to do their very best to ensure a wonderful excursion on their outrigger canoe. If you have the opportunity to book an adventure with them, do not hesitate. The high point of our week spent in Hawaii.

    Fantastic Fun
    3 Day Tour. Michael went above and beyond with our family of 5. He made sure we all got to see something on each of our lists. We had lots of fun. He even personally walked me up and down Diamond Head. His knowledge of Oahu and his connections with people throughout the island was great. Would definitely visit Oahu with Michael again.

    Awesome Island Tour
    My family had the pleasure of using Michael and Halia Tours twice when we stayed on Oahu. We have two kids ages 9 and 13, and they also had a blast. Michael was on time and was willing to take us anywhere we wanted and wait as long or as little as we needed at each place. He knows the island so well, and all the tips he shared helped us make good choices for what we wanted to do each day. One really great thing about Michael was that he was super flexible. Having kids, we often had to make plan changes on the fly and Michael had no problem with anything and was always super accommodating. I just can’t say enough good things about this guy. He knows so much about the locations and history of Hawaii that I came away learning so many cool things about the places we visited. His recommendations for food and shopping were spot on. Add to that he cares deeply about the environment, culture, and history of Hawaii, and my whole family was impressed. But perhaps my favorite thing about our two full days with Halia Tours was how much positive energy Michael communicated. He is the type of guy you want to be friends with. Finally, Michael was so good with making sure he spent equal time talking and staying aware of all of our needs. He was so good with our kids. They just loved him and still talk about him 3 weeks later. My 13 year old son kept asking me if we can stay in touch with Michael after we go home :o). I don’t know when we will go back to Oahu, but hopefully it is soon, and the first thing we will be setting up is a few days with Michael from Halia Tours! Thank you again from Tony, Tara, Jamison, and MooMoo.
