[ "Excellent experience, The venue is clean and it's really easy to get there. Lots of parking if you're driving in and they take cash or credit for the $10 parking fee. I recommend getting there early so there's time to look around and so you can get good seats within the package you purchased.\n\nThe staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. All I experienced was smiling faces and kind words. The buffet was good, especially the roast pork. Tender and juicy, never got dry! \n\nI highly recommend getting the Royal package. You will sit closer to the stage and get an excellent view of the show, which is why you're there! The MC was a lot of fun and included the audience throughout the show. \n\nThe performances were so beautiful! I especially enjoyed the Blue Hawaii solo, but my jaw dropped during the fire dance. It was so amazing, that there were times I realized that I was holding my breath! \n\nI couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my evening!, Traveled with family", "Life changing., This was my first time to Hawaii and my main focus was going to a luau. This did not disappoint, the over all friendliness of the staff was amazing. The whole experience appeared in the moment and not staged, making me feel like every show is personalized. I love that in the beginning it had interactive parts, including learning how to make a fire and weaving with palm leaves was amazing and fun. The chief telling his family story brought me to tears and love that he shared his life with us. I was nervous about it being a buffet style and being a large group but they had it so organized that it went smoothly getting your food. I would totally rebook this event in the future and would recommend this to anyone. You would not be disappointed. I felt truly blessed to experience everything., Traveled with friends", "A Luau Experience , My first luau experience was at the Polynesian Cultural center a few years ago. But desiring something different for this trip I painstakingly began researching all of the Luau’s on the island (there are many!). I chose chief’s Luau 1/30/2020 show because:\n1. The chief is an actual chief and a world champion fire- performer. Some of the other performers are as well. \n2. The pre-show activities and show are not geared specifically towards children. Children can definitely participate but it’s not all about them (there are several luaus specifically geared towards families with children)\n3. Locals recommended this luau (even in a random conversation with a baggage handler at the airport)\n\nThings to know in advance \n1. Traffic is terrible on the island especially during the weekday rush. If you are traveling from Waikiki give yourself at least 1.5 hours or more to get there in time if you drive yourself or prepare to spend a significant amount of time on the bus\n2. The luau’s current location is inside of a water park. Once the sun sets the ambiance definitely does not feel like one (you can not see the water slides at all during the show)\n3. You are not able to select your seat the hostess will seat you in a pre-determined area based on the ticket you purchase. The earlier you arrive the closer your seat is.\n\nMy humble opinion:\n1. The show was worth the money. Highly entertaining and the cast is very talented the singers and fire dancers were especially amazing!Although commercial luaus are more for tourist I felt the chief brought a level of authenticity through his story telling and passion for his culture. \n2. Seats in paradise experience is worth it if especially you drink. If you want to save a few bucks there are great seats in part of the aloha section that are a bit closer but on an angled view. Royal experience is only necessary if you feel the need to be directly in front. \n3. Get there early to participate in the pre show events/crafting\n4. Luaus have communal seating so you will end up interacting with those around you and the Chief encourages it during parts of the show.\n5. The food is just ok and plentiful. If you are a foodie (like I am) you will not be super happy but you won’t die either. You’re here for a great show., Traveled as a couple" ]

[ "Spectacular scenic trail, but rocky and muddy, Manoa Falls, Oahu\nYou arrive at a carpark and centre which includes a small store. The car park opens at 8am and costs $7. The Manoa Falls Trail is a really scenic walk with untouched bushland. It’s relatively easy although you walk over rocks covered with mud (don’t wear your favourite white shoes), so it can be a little slippery. The trail ends at a small lookout and pool. The day we went the falls were not like the promo photos due to the drought, but still awesome to reach. We did the trail in 45min up, and 30mins back. \n#ManoaFalls, Traveled as a couple", "Wonderful Challenging Hike, Beautiful Scenery , Holy cow was it a work out! Expect incline and lots of rocks. The Rainforest beautiful. A couple small waterfalls as hiking up. The main waterfall is long and beautiful, wished water volume was more. Be sure you wear good shoes, maybe bring a hiking stick - the rocks definitely gave parts of my body a work out. Two hours they gave us on a self guided hike - pretty reasonable. I may have went slower and paused more if not on time constraints , Traveled solo", "Picturesque trail walk, This 2.7 km (return distance) well maintained trail is as popular as it is beautiful. It has 89 meters of elevation change as you walk UP to the waterfall. There are lots of rest stops along the way so take your time. It is worth the couple of hours to go at a comfortable pace and take all of those pictures you will be compelled to take!" ]

[ "An Interesting and Engaging Tour, I'd wanted to do this tour for some time and made sure to plan for it on my long-awaited return visit to O'ahu. \n\nThere were just three of us in our group, plus our guide Mike, who was full of historical information. He brought the early days to life with facts and anecdotes, and, for a brief moment, we were in the movie \"Hawaii\" alongside Julie Andrews.\n\nYou tour three structures, the original and oldest structure in Honolulu, a second Missionary home, and the fascinating print shop where the Hawaiian language was put on paper for the first time.\n\nThe gift shop is full of Hawaiian crafts and lots of great books. You can sit in the shady courtyard and contemplate the past even as you're surrounded by the buildings of modern downtown Honolulu. A few amicable chickens might keep you company, too.\n\nOne note, you will be climbing up and down some stairs, so be aware of that., Traveled solo", "History Buff Tour is amazing, Absolutely a must-visit. Make sure to book the your online ahead of time.\n\nWe took the history buff tour led by Mike Smola and it's really fantastic -- Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic and thoughtful and passionate. He toggled effortlessly between diving deep into topics where we had questions, and providing a broad overview of Hawaiian history and the role the missions played in it. It's rare to learn so much so fast fun so enthusiastic a teacher.\n\nOne member of our party is a professional historian and enjoyed it as much as us lay people did., Traveled as a couple", "Worthwhile visit for all ages, This was an educational and enjoyable visit. Our docent was great, answered lots of questions. We had a small group and that was nice. We enjoyed the interiors of the buildings and really got a sense of how the early missionaries lived and worked 200 years ago. It’s a great visit, see it with the Iolani palace and it brings the story together. Booking ahead is helpful., Traveled as a couple" ]

[ "Great location for those with small kids but 100feet from a real ocean facing beach too!, This was my wife’s favorite relaxing place from our last trip, so we stayed nearby (Hilton Hawaiian Village) to ensure we were close enough for multiple visits.\nThe lagoon is man made and maintained by HHV, partially drained and cleaned every day and very clean. There are small fish that come by pretty close allowing for some very basic snorkeling. Water was clear and shallow at the edges making it a perfect and safe place for small lids and their worried parents.\nYou can rent beach chairs, paddle boards, and water bikes (although not cheaply) which add to the opportunities. Only feet from the beach and Pacific Ocean, families can do a little of both without packing up and moving.\nThere is a shrimp truck regularly in the adjacent parking lot and a nearby Dairy Queen/Orange Julius store is a big plus. Takeout adult beverages available a few minutes away at Tropicals too.\nGreat photo ops too with palm trees framing Diamond Head and Waikiki on the southeast side of the lagoon., Traveled with family", "Hilton Hawaiian Village Attraction, The Lagoon was a short walk from the Grand Waikikian. There is generally plenty of room on the beach. The sand is quite clean, and does not have pebbles or coral or shell bits. The water temperature is cooler than the ocean. Swimming is easier than in crowded pool or ocean currents. The Lagoon changes dramatically in size, shrinking and expanding, during the day. The Lagoon rental booth has aqua bikes to rent for a trip around the \nLagoon- which is fun for an hour! The fellows at the Lagoon rental booth are just plain rude to customers, who are Hilton guests, by the way. ", "Cold, clean, costly., It is true that the lagoon is about 10 degrees cooler than the adjacent ocean, and the sand is quite coarse. Your feet will get a nice exfoliation without beach shoes on! Free spa service :). My children and I enjoyed the protected quality of the lagoon, and If you are down in the evening, you can see and hear the starlight luau going on nearby on the lawn. \nTo hire any of the boards or non-motorized equipment, be prepared to shell out a LOT of money. A water bike is $70/hr., Traveled with friends" ]

[ "Hike with family, Our family (Dad, Mom and two sons (12 and 10)) visited in the afternoon on a Tuesday. We did not have a problem finding a parking spot. It was a quiet walk through the garden. The trails are not well defined in some spots and we got sidetracked once. The hike is a slight incline towards the back of the crater. There are many species of plants I was unaware about. The African side of the trial was more interesting than the American side of the trail. The most unique find was the sausage tree! Overall, an easier hike and a nice break from the busyness of the city.", "It's great!, The trail is easy to walk, but there are side paths that can get you off the main one as you see plants that draw you to the side paths. The trail is a 2 mile loop, it is wide and mostly dirt but there are places where the off-trail can dead end. We loved the trail, the atmosphere of a garden in a crater, and a respite from crowds. It is a natural amphitheater for plants, this collection is amazing and heavenly. We decided to visit Koko Crater Botanical Garden, right after New Years, in January. Look for the mongooses, beautiful birds, and other wildlife. Every one that visit Oahu Island should go there. No water on site so bring plenty for yourself. The garden is free and a self guided. About an hour easy walk. Try following the signs. It's great!, Traveled with family", "Delightful Display of Hawaii’s Natural Landscape, This garden is a plumeria paradise. Located in Hawaii Kai and there is a golf course on either side of it. The garden specialty is the cultivation of cacti, aloes, dryland palms, plumeria and bougainvillea. The loop around the garden is approximately two miles. We did not walk to the portion featuring species from Madagascar and Africa. The blooming plumeria and bougainvillea were a sight for sore eyes. We visited in March when the flowers were in bloom and the fragrance was amazing. Go in the morning and you will likely have the place to yourself. Free parking is available. It is open dawn to dusk." ]

[ "Gorgeous view!, This is NOT a beginner hike, just be warned! It is moderately challenging - there are uneven and slippery spots. In the heat of the sun, it can be tiring. The view is completely worth it!! Stupid people do stupid things, hanging off the edges of the pillboxes to take their instagram photos or doing tiktoks. You can't escape it. We didn't let it ruin our enjoyment of this gorgeous view. It was absolutely breathtaking. Afterwards, go for a dip in the turquoise waters below. Lanikai beach was wonderful. \n\nWe took the bus (or rather, 3 busses) from Waikiki to Lanikai. With the HOLO card it only cost $5.50 each! Took about 1:20 each way but if you don't have a car it's totally do-able. You can stop in Kailua on the way back for some refreshments after your hike and swim. \n\nBring your lunch and eat it on top of the pillbox ;) OH and bring lots of water! There are no facilities here and limited parking from what I can tell.", "Great trail but not for mid-afternoon, Great hike but just couldn't finish it with the afternoon heat - went around 2pm, about the worst time to do this. This is a great hike for pre-dawn so you can see the sunrise over the Pacific from the pillboxes.\n\nThere are no facilities at either trailhead.", "Gorgeous views, This should be a must do in Oahu. Let’s start with the parking. We parked at Kailua beach and walked to the start. If you try and go where the start of the hike is, there are tons of signs saying no parking. This added about 20 minutes to the hike. The hike was harder than I thought it would be. The trail has very loose dirt in some places. Bring shoes with good grip. The hike from the start of the trail took about 30 minutes. The views at the top are amazing. There are 2 different pill boxes. One is about 5 minutes walk from the other. When you get to the top you will have amazing views of Lanikai beach and the turquoise water. This was amazing., Traveled with family" ]

[ "Do the Hukilau, Located beside the Polynesian Cultural Center grounds on the northeast side. A great place to shop & eat or just walk around. The marketplace is well run, clean & presentable. Shops, vendors, food trucks and the Pounders Restaurant are strategically set up to make the customers visit enjoyable. Even if it rains, people can easily find shelter. Merchandise and food prices are comparable to other marketplaces on the island. Staff at each establishment provide excellent customer service. We visited several times and enjoyed each visit., Traveled as a couple", "Nice to shop in one location, The Marketplace is at one end of the Polynesian Cultural Center, which makes it nice. You can do all your souvenir buying after you visit the PCC without having to carry several little bags all day long risking the chance of leaving them behind somewhere. You also don't pay an entrance fee to go shopping, so anytime you're in the area and want to stop & shop, you can.", "Loved it!, The last time we were at the PCC was 2005 and they didn't have the Hukilau Marketplace. I loved that we could stop and shop, eat and not have to spend the day at the PCC. We were driving around the island and stopped about 5pm. Lots of things to see and eat. Loved the Dole whip. You can also take a canoe ride into the PCC for $8 PP. You can apply this to admission if you decide to stay., Traveled as a couple" ]

[ "Must see magic show, What a wonderful show from start to finish. The stage is set like a Victorian parlour full of curiosities from around the world. The main event was Shoot Ogawa who interacted well with the audience and never failed to amaze. We were thoroughly entertained and after the show kept going back over his tricks and wondered how on earth he executed them with us sitting only a metre away. \nThis was our first magic show ever and we were blown away. For those of you who are sceptical I would defy you to see Shoot and not be hooked on his level of magic forever., Aloha Gait T - Shoot is pretty amazing, its what makes him the best in the world!!! We are thrilled you came to visit and witness the the very best magic on earth, right here in Waikiki. \nThanks for believing in magic and we hope you become a regular at the show, we have some excellent magicians on our roster for the holidays. Check our website for details oahumagic.com\n\nMahalo,\nBrian\nVP Operations\nThe Magical Mystery Show! , Written , November 2, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.", "Amazing, Booked tickets for this at the last minute, and so glad we did. We were part of a very small audience which made the whole show very up close and personal. Shoot Ogawa was amazing and kept us entertained and astounded. The tickets are expensive, but it was a great show and we're still talking about it!, Traveled as a couple", "Astonishing & Great Fun, World Class magician Shoot Ogawa was marvelous! Host Jerry Eiting set the stage for the evening and also got to meet the creator Jonathan Todd and superb magician Kekoa Erickson. The actual show ran a bit over an hour and had one great moment after another. Shoot Ogawa presents both classic and original magic with a special humor and professionalism. He puts the audience at ease which allows everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. Several \"Wow!\" moments with continuous humor. Highly recommended!!!" ]

[ "Definitely Book This, Highly, highly recommend booking this experience. This was one of our very favorite activities during our 10-day stay in Hawaii. The luau was so immersive, interestingly educational, really fun, and entertaining. Four hours flew by. There were only maybe 80 people in attendance, which actually felt quite small and intimate in the setting. Nothing felt crowded. All the performers were top notch, and there was nothing cheesy about it at all. The grounds were absolutely beautiful to see. And last but not least, the food. We have very high standards for food, as we've been to a lot of great cities with a lot of high quality, delicious cuisine. We were shocked at how delicious and perfectly prepared the dinner was. Every part of it really was delicious, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. I definitely recommend paying a little more for this luau than some of the competitors and gain a more intimate experience with an authentically-Hawaiian meal that's actually delicious instead of a cruise-ship style low quality buffet meal prepared for 700 people., Thank you so much for choosing to spend your time with us! We appreciate your thoughtful review :) You'll always be Ohana to us - we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!, Written , May 7, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.", "A Luau without the hordes…, Smaller luau experience focused on the history and culture of the indigenous Hawaiian people on an hilltop with spectacular views and sunsets. The experience requires a little walking from venue to venue. My multi generational group loved the experience including the story telling, musical and dance performances, and indigenous games. The big surprise was the buffet which was well balanced and delicious from the green salad and spinach roll, the Okinawa purple sweet potato, to the pork and chicken, etc. The alcohol drinks and desserts were only ok.\n\nOverall all agreed the experience was memorable, educational, fun, and delicious., Mahalo for letting us be part of your Hawaii experience! Aloha!, Written , January 10, 2023, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.", "Now Ohana of Nutridge, We enjoyed our experience at Nutridge with beautiful weather and the friendly staff. Going into it, we knew hulu dancing was not the focus of the program. There was not going to be all the fancy costumes you see in one of the big luau production outfits. Dancing is a component of a luau. But so is the preparing the food, playing games, and socializing with ohana and friends while enjoying good spirits. \n\nFood was plentiful and tasty. Kalua pork was moist and seasoned well. Chicken was flavorful but a tad dry. Most of the other menu items were sourced locally and prepared good. The bartender's standard drinks are a single shot and not watered down. If you want a stronger drink, spend the extra $6 and get a Nutridge Sunset with 2-1/2 shots of tequila.\n\nAt Nutridge, you learn the why behind a luau party from the Pacific Islander perspective and get to talk to the performers, if this appeals to you, you will enjoy your time. If you want to see a staged production of Hulu dancing with hundreds of people, book elsewhere., Aloha, Christopher. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service, and it is awesome to see that you felt we did a good job! Thanks for visiting, and mahalo for taking the time to share your experience with others!\n, Written , November 12, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC., Traveled as a couple" ]

[ "Amazing views and there is lots of parking , It was a fun hike. It does get steep at times, but there are ropes along the way and trees you can hold on to. I found a walking stick since I'm just naturally clumsy. Wear hiking shoes, even though I saw a couple wearing flip flops, I wouldn't recommend. There are lots of branches sticking out. If it's a wet day, this trail will be super slippery and muddy. There are 2 pillboxes. The first one has trees covering part of the amazing views. You are able to walk into the first bunker. Keep to the left for an additional 5 minutes to find the second pillbox. The views are definitely worth it. Recommend for all. We was a family with kids make it to the top with no issues. There is parking at the elementary school which leads you right to the trail and there is parking across the street at the state beach. Both parking have bathrooms. , Traveled as a couple", "Great Hike for Families, Easy hike that is short but a decently rapid ascent. Good hike to bring kids on as well. There are two pillboxes on this trail so make sure you walk onwards from the first one (about ten minutes) to see the vantage point from the second.", "Strenuous Hike Rewarded with View, Starts off easy then gets real steep, real quick. We hiked Likeke Falls the day before with my mother (74 yrs old and in decent shape) who handled that with ease. This one was way too much. So, it's for people with good stamina and experience. The views are defiantly worth it. The hike to the second box was not as impressive. But it was close and relatively easy after your at the first box." ]

[ "Pleasant morning, Drive through a long way of residential area wondering how you could possibly arrive at a natural destination worthy of a 5 mile hike in nature when viola! You arrive at a very pretty park that feels like you are miles away from civilization. The most important note (at least to me) is that you don't want to park at the first few parking lots if your destination is the loop trail. Drive in, past a few parking lots, past the camprground, up a steep hill where you will see a restroom building, parking and a sign for the loop trail. The road is one way so don't also accidentally pass the last area of parking and have to come around again :) We arrived pretty early after the park opened, by the time we returned from our hike the parking area was quite full so you might want to plan accordingly. \nThe hike is pretty easy as it follows a ridge line and is shady for most of it. There is a slight incline or decline depnding on direction but quite manageable. If you go the direction starting behind the restroom building and where the plaque explaining the WWII plan that crashed here, you will have a steep portion to come up at the end but it only takes maybe 10 minutes.\nLots of places to stop for views, but additionally, it's a just nice respite from the hustle and bustle of the island. There are plenty of picnic areas so you could certainly extend your stay at the park.\nIt was dry while we were there but for sure if it is wet or raining this trail could be treacherous (as one reveiwer noted, but that's not a reflection of the trail, just luck). Good sneakers or hiking shoes will work otherwise, although we did see some in various sandals. \nI think I'd recomend going the reverse direction. Start on the steep portion which you will pass first a little ways down the hill form the sign and restroom at top. As I recall the trail came out in a camping area near a different restroom you can see from the road. This will allow you to descend the steepest portion and also descend a little on the last leg. We saw people going both directions.", "Best view, A good hike for beginners, must check weather it rains a lot so\nyou need a good shoes, If you’re planning on a weekend hike come early parking can be a problem. There’s a camping ground bathrooms and water fountain throughout. There’s a picnic area with table and chair good for family or trading around the loop.", "Aiea Loop Trail - Fantastic 2 hours hiking on Oahu!, This 4.8 mile trail is a relatively easy hike on two parallel ridges up above Aiea heights (start/finish: Keaiwa Heiau State Recreation Area) with great (glimpses) views down to Pearl Harbor. The trail is mostly wide enough for two, with some narrower areas. The slopes are gentle and the only moderately difficult area is the short stretch at the bottom where you cross the valley floor between. This area can be wet and requires some caution." ]

[ "Lots of Fish and Warm Water, Electric Beach had a whole bunch of fish swimming in the warm water outlet from the power plant. Some were playing in the water – at least it looked like that to us. They would swim down to the outlet and let the water push them out for 20 yards or so; then they would go back and do it again. The swim to the outlet was not bad, but the swim back was tiring. We had life vests on and it was a good call. There were lifeguards patrolling the area to make sure everyone was OK, so that was nice. \nThe water is very warm where it come out from the power plant. The snorkeling is rating as one of the top places on Oahu, and I can see why – there are so many fish. We saw several turtles and one even surfaced by us and we had no idea it was there. Overall, a great place to snorkel if you are a decent swimmer.", "Diving at Electric Beach/Kahe Point Beach , Many of the locals consider this area electric beach. It is a great shore diving and snorkeling location with lots of life on the pipe running from the electric plant. Getting into the water as a diver can be a bit of a pain with all the people boogie boarding, but once you get out it's a easy dive. Be sure to bring a dive flag and reel because there is a lot of boat traffic with large catamarans bringing snorkelers to the area. \n\nThere is also great diving to either side of the pipe, and even a wreck and sea caves to one side. , Traveled with friends", "The best snorkeling we found in Oahu (also known as Electric Beach), Kate Point Beach Park is also known as Electric Beach as the electric plant is right there. The beach are itself is quite small, the real value and attracting is that about 700 feet out where the hot water from the plant is exhausted there is a lot of marine life. It is easy to find this location as you can follow the long lines of rocks over the pipes (also visible on Google satellite view) or just head to where you see others. \n\nPlease note, this is not a good beginner/kid friendly spot due to the 700' swim out to the water outlet, the cross currents near the site, and the waves that hit the beach. However if you are in decent shape and minimally practiced in snorkeling you should be fine. \n\nThere are lots of various fish out at the water outlet and we found a couple of sea turtles swimming around near the beach. There were SCUBA divers and other snorkelers there too, but not so many as to be problematic." ]

[ "Loved this little historical site., We walked in the door and Jen greeted us, showed us the cocoa tree, told us about the chocolate making process, gave us freshly roasted coffee beans and told us the history of this neat place. This place was a gem, and so was Jen. Thank you Jen, you are a great ambassador to the mill. 😎, Traveled with family", "Unassuming spot with good souvenir and gift options - more variety than in Waikiki!, This is a great place to get some more unique souvenirs/gifts/snacks - one of the only places we found more variety and different things than in the many ABC or other tourist shops in downtown Honolulu. I definitely recommend stopping in if you're on the North Shore and want to bring home some gifts. We wandered in after visiting the Saturday morning farmer's market in the adjacent field.", "Great local spot, Living close by we find ourselves frequently visiting this location for its several shops (North shore dingz, NS soap co., Pyzel, the old mill for coffee, etc. They are also building a new brewery onsite. A must do when visiting the NS., Traveled as a couple" ]

[ "Beer and Lunch, We had walked through Honolulu and needed food and rehydration so where better to go? Our Argentinian waiter was friendly and eager to be of service. Good food options on the menu to accompany a selection of well crafted beers. Sadly no pineapple or apple cider in stock......I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread and it was very creamy and tasty - the blue cheese crumble was a master stroke. Teamed up with the Hop Island IPA and lunch was done. My mate selected a 4 flight taster which allows you to try several of the beer range on offer", "Get a Flight and Try Them All!, We never pass up a chance to go to local breweries while on vacation. Hawaii Beerworks was the first one we hit in Oahu. Not too many have food but this one does. There is no designated parking, just what you find on the street. A quarter gets you 10 or 15 minutes, so have lots of quarters in Honolulu. Spouse waited in car outside while I ran into brewery to get change! We each chose a flight of 4 different beers. I would say that they were all very tasty. Spouse liked the Pia Mahi'ai Saison. I favor IPAs so the Hop Island suited me and the Coco Weizen, too. I had their Mac and Cheese - a very healthy portion and really quite yummy. Spouse enjoyed the Pastrami Reuben. Nice friendly place.", "Beer flight was fun to try!, This brewery is in a young and hip part of town. We were at Iolani Palace and walked here (about a mile). We didn't have reservations for lunch but they had tables available. The mac and cheese with bacon was very good as well as the mixed green salad--two opposites, ha, but enjoyed both. \n\nI'm not a big beer drinker (I like wine), so consider that with this review. My favorites are Pia Mahiʻai Honey Citrus Saison, Cocoweizen and surprisingly El Jefe (even though I'm not a tequila drinker either). You don't need to be a beer drinker to enjoy yourself here. Have fun and try it!" ]

[ "Great background, This is an excellent little museum that provides some background on development of justice system in Hawaii. The First bit covering this is a bit disjointed - certainly is not western linear presentation, but the info is useful. I found the small section on life in Hawaii after the attack on Perl Harbor most informative - gave real persective on mentality and efforts that develped after the siege. Highly recommended.", "2nd visit, When we were in Honolulu last year, we stumbled into the History Center by luck. We didn’t have enough time to see everything we wanted to see. Back this year to Hawaii, we visited again. They present the history of the judiciary in Hawaii in a comprehensive and understandable way. It covers from the days of Kings thru territorial government to statehood. Off the beaten path. Seek it out. , Traveled as a couple", "Definitely worth the time!, We’ve always enjoyed Hawaii, it’s our favorite holiday vacation. Wonderful place and welcoming staff. We feel at home here. My granddaughter is now getting into the Hawaiian adventure! Oh, boy!!" ]

[ "Go with the beach tailgate side!, Awesome experience and a lot of fun. Highly recommend reserving tickets ahead of time for the tailgate/beach side (~$15 I think). They were sold out of those when we went so we had purchase the VIP tickets (~$45) and had to pay the cork fee to bring in outside drinks ($10 for a 6-pack). There were no added benefits to being in the VIP section; it’s just a series of tables in a roped off section on the near side of the field. \nOn the beach side, you bring your own lawn chairs, tailgate, tables, food, drinks, lawn games, etc for a cheaper price and you’re right by the beach. Definitely seems like you pay more for less with the VIP section. \nOverall, great experience and they do a great job of explaining Polo and the rules for those of us who knew nothing about it. Also some fun games and fan-involvement in between and prior to games. Definitely recommend going and getting there a little bit before the game! , Traveled with family", "Romantic, My husband and I visited Hawaii for our 15th anniversary and decided to book a private couples ride. The drive there was beautiful and breathtaking. The place was easy to find. I had never rode a horse a day in my life so I was terrified. Our guide was very helpful and the horses were pretty calm and well trained. Our guide checked on us throughout the entire ride and we was able to witness the most beautiful sunset on the beach. On our way back she even took the time to take pictures of my husband and I. I would recommend Hawaii Polo to anyone. No complaints.", "Polo By the Sea, Outstanding opportunity to learn a little more about polo with a great instructor Ella and a great horse Hoagie. Together Ella and Hoagie made me feel like I could progress from walking to maybe trotting while hitting the polo balls. I strongly recommend Hawaii Polo Club for anyone interested in the sport." ]

[ "The Most Amazing Side Trip/Adventure..., No kidding. There I was. Honolulu Airport. My flight had just been delayed for six hours. I didn't want to leave Honolulu at all anyway, but sitting in an airport for 6 hours was not what I had in mind. On a whim, my wife decided to look up small road trips we could take to pass the time. She found Ko Hana Distillers online and didn't have to twist my arm too much to get me to book an Uber away from the airport and on to adventure. I am not a fan of rums by any stretch of the imagination. I am generally a whiskey guy. Upon entering the distillers sale building, the sales people were extremely friendly. The tour was very informative. The guide for the tour really knew her rum and she really knew how to connect her knowledge of her rum with my love of whiskeys. After the formal tasting, she brought me a taste of something that wasn't on the tasting menu. She said, \"You've GOTTA taste this. Trust me.\" She brought me the the Kila rum. It was the perfect choice for me. It went down like a sweet, smooth whiskey. Everything about it was...well...perfect. I ended up buying a couple of the bottles, as well as one I didn't try that was a deep ruby color, as it was aged in Koa wood barrels. (The Koa special edition that came with it's own koa wood box (~$300) was a bit too far out of my budget). My wife loved the Kokoleka rum which was infused with local Hawaiian cacao and honey, so we got some of that along with a bottle of the barrel aged honey. I love small little side adventures. This one was one of my favorites of all time. I can't wait to go back.", "Like a Napa valley family winery!, I live nearby the Napa Valley so stop by my favorite family-run wineries all the time. Unlike conglomerate-owned wineries, they let you get up close and personal with the wines.\n\nKo Hana is very similar in that you they put you in the face of their aging rums. They have dozens of varieties of cane in their garden and hundreds of barrels in their aging house. And unlike those conglomerates, they play around with their processes and aging to come up with what they call \"Agricole Rum\" where every batch has its own personality.\n\nYou can pay to taste a handful of their rums and you'll probably come away wanting to buy half of them. Their product is not inexpensive, but neither is it run of the mill. These are sippin' rums, not mixing rums. If I hear that you made a pina colada with one of their rums, I'll track you down myself! :-)", "Educational AND fun!, Bernadette was a great tour guide. She was interactive, shared great information AND rolled with the silliness of the group we ended up in. The tasting at the end included several of their fantastic runs…made it hard to decide what to purchase!" ]

[ "Family Fun, We booked this show very last minute through our hotel concierge. It was New Years Eve and we had zero dinner plan. While this is booked as a luau, it is more of a stage show with Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators. While not what I was expecting, it was really some decent family fun. Think Vegas style performance. Luau food was decent. Prime Rib was quite good. Buffet seating was quite crowded however. If you’re looking for a stage show, this is really kinda fun. If you want a more traditional luau, you would appreciate some of the other venues on the island that are outdoors along the beach. This is in a shopping mall., Traveled with family", "Best Luau ever!!, Our family of 4 attended this Luau tonight, after looking around for the best Luau on Oahu! We all had a great time, and the buffet dinner was really well enjoyed! The show afterwards was spectacular!! All of the performers, which included talented singers, dancers, fire baton, Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, were beyond talented and entertaining!! Cannot recommend enough!, Traveled with family", "Great food, amazing staff and high energy performance, This is not your typical luau show hence the name, Rock-a-hula! However I enjoyed the fusion of Elvis and MJ with the Polynesian twist. \nThe food options are amazing, as you can find something for every group to enjoy. I especially loved the Teri chicken and carving station. Sooo ono! I suggest you go up for seconds. \nAs for the dance crew, staff and management, what an amazing team. The dancers looked enthusiastic to be there. Btw, the pregnant lady dancing so gracefully and keeping up with everyone was special. The staff and management were so accommodating and always working with a smile. Shout out to Deyvon! Oh and I can't forget the impersonators for Elvis & MJ, as well as the fire knife dancer and the local artist, Mahealani. Thank you for making it a memorable night. You guys made the show with the energy you brought to the stage. \nOverall, it was an A-mazing show and I can't wait to go back., Traveled with friends" ]

[ "So Disappointed, I've been to 3 other luaus on the Islands, and unfortunately this one was disappointing to me in spite of the good reviews I've read. We were picked up promptly on time and driven to the luau grounds. We had opted for the higher priced Deluxe package. Be aware that in addition to better seating, you also get your food brought to you. That means you can't choose what you get. They do give you a variety of foods, unfortunately most of the items were substandard. The chicken was cooked to dry and inedible ( or maybe set too long under a heat lamp). And from looking at the plates of leftover food from the rest of the people at our table, I wasn't the only one who thought so. The performers tried but with one exception they didn't come up to par with those at the other 3 luaus I've seen. The exception was the fire dancer who made up for a lot of the deficiencies in this performance. This guy was Good! So, all this being said, I would say look elsewhere.", "Nice luau , Food was good and they had the whole area spaced out well due to covid restrictions. Any parties of two people had they own table unless they were part of a higher group. The drinks are ok a little weak. The dancing was great and seeing the west side of the island was a great part. You can see the towers of the Disney resort as you pool up. Just remember to bring a light jacket because the wind was making it cold also the you will be walking of dirt for most of the night. Also if you have cousin Fifi as your host for the bus ride he is great very informative and funny. ", "Neat polinesian experience, We enjoyed this experience a lot, so did the kids.\nThe amount of activities available made it lots of fun and the sunset was breathtaking in such place.\nNice dancing performance, good taste of the local dishes, though we missed them showing us how it it that they cook such meat underground., Traveled with family" ]

[ "Beautiful & perfect, loved it all!, Happy Trails was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I took my daughter and a couple friends for her 10th birthday. They had a great time. My 17 year old son loved it too! It was the first time horseback riding for a couple of the kids but everyone made them feel comfortable & safe. Even offered helmets if they wanted! The trail & views were beautiful & peaceful. The group was small. There was constant communication & support during the entire ride. We didn't feel like we walked into someone's business or workplace. We felt like we were welcomed into their home as guests, not customers. Mark truly loves his horses and adds a personal touch to each rider as he explains everything. I totally recommend this trail! My daughter wants to go again!, Traveled with family", "Thank you Happy trails for an amazing time!, This was an amazing experience for my family. My dad had never ridden a horse before and I had a few times. Even though we weren't very experienced it was a perfect thing to do here in Oahu. They were very nice people and the guy running the whole thing had some really fun stories to share. The horses are retired polo horses so they are very well trained and excellent for young kids because the horses know what they are doing and they seem happy to be out and about. The people there don't believe in bits which sometimes can hurt the horses mouth. They treat their animals very well. They also have cats, peacocks, chickens, and more fun animals you can pet and take pictures of. I would highly recommend for families that are seeking adventure, have kids, love animals, or just want to take a leisurely stroll through the woods.", "TOP NOTCH TRAIL RIDE, My daughter, grandson (age 12), granddaughter (age 6), and I booked a 9:00 am trail ride at Happy Trails. It was an enjoyable ride on a well maintained trail though the trees that provided ample shade. The horses were so well trained that my 6 year old granddaughter was completely able to control her horse independently. That gave her such a sense of accomplishment. The staff was extremely professional and did a great job of pairing horse and rider. The saddles were comfortable, and it was just the right amount of time on horseback for my family. It was such a GREAT experience, and the LOCATION WAS PRFECT!! Matsumoto Shave Ice, Honos Shrimp Truck, and the Dole Plantation are all on the way back to Honolulu." ]

[ "Amazing Service and Value!, We used Top Limousine in Early November for a transfer from HNL to Waikiki. They asked for our flight information in advance and sent detailed instructions and map on where to meet the limousine upon arrival. Thanks to May for answering all of our questions promptly! We selected the “Any Available Vehicle” option as our service. \n\nUnfortunately, when our aircraft pulled up to the gate, the Skybridge used to deplane the passengers was broken and we had to wait for another gate to open up and then for a tractor to tow us to the new gate. When we were allowed to turn on our devices we found that our driver, Thao, had already sent us a welcome message and I apprised him of our situation. It took us almost an hour extra to deplane and get our luggage. We replied once again when we were exiting the terminal and heading to the pick-up zone. Everything went seamlessly and Thao was there to greet us with some ice-cold bottled water!\n\nEven though we made Thao wait extra time there were no “waiting” charges and we were Very pleased with the service through the whole process. The cost for this was $65 (not including gratuity). As a taxi or taxi costs only $20-35 less, I think this service has GREAT value as you have a car waiting for you at the airport and you will get superior, professional service – not to mention you get to ride in a limo!! We shared our experience with friends arriving the next day and they booked with Top Limo as well and were so grateful that we made the recommendation.", "Arrive in Style, Top Limo services were very professional, we were given instructions & map well in advance as to where to meet at the airport. We had paid for lei's and they were fresh lovely smelling miniature orchids (no artificial flowers here). The limo was modern and very clean, this was our first visit to Waikiki and the driver was very informative. We also used the service to take us back to the airport early in the morning.\nWould use them again without a doubt.", "Swag 16th Birthday, We strongly Recommend Top Limousine Service over any other similar companies in Honolulu. Scott was exceptionally friendly and adapting on the telephone. We hired Top Limousine Service for our son’s Swag 16 Birthday Bash. They truly went above and beyond for my son and his party of young men. Everything went according to the prior plans, and the driver accommodated our wishes for multiple stops for acquiring the most memorable images for the occasion. The driver was extremely professional and absolutely exceeded any expectations that we had. Top Limousine provides competitive pricing with superior customer service. If you are searching for excellence in a Limousine service, look no further, Top Limousine is the only service you need! Again, we strongly suggest Top Limousine! The teenagers had a blast!!

[ "Wonderful session, My husband and I took one of the Beach sunset yoga classes with Olivia and had a wonderful experience. Olivia is a fun instructor; she asked the class what they wanted from the session and made sure every request was met. She also went around and corrected everyone’s poses and provided modifications for each pose. I would highly recommend the sunset sessions because the sky is so beautiful at that time; puts you at ease. We left feeling so much lighter. \nWhat I really liked about them, was their responsiveness; Karen was quick to inform me about my sessions’s instructor being unwell and letting me know in advance about the unseen circumstance making arrangements to accommodate me into another class. \nSo, if you are in Waikiki, highly recommend Beach Sunset Yoga., Traveled as a couple", "Nice yoga session, Did a yoga class at sunset, next to the ocean. Teacher was good, very nice French lady. A dj arrived in the middle of the class and started playing music close to where we were. It was a little disturbing but still nice. The sunset was beautiful and we heard the birds and wind going thru the palm trees.\nVery good experience. I would go back but not on a Wednesday (music on Wednesday), Traveled with friends", "Can't beat the view, I've been taking these yoga classes for years, first as a visitor and now as a local. Each sunset is different, and you'll never do yoga in a more beautiful setting. The instructors each have a unique style, but they always cater the class to the skill level of the students, including those who have never done yoga before.\nIf you're visiting from the mainland, I recommend the sunset class on your first day to help beat the jet lag." ]

[ "Awesome room, but very challenging, Got scheduled for the wrong date, but luckily they still had the room we signed up for open at the time we wanted. We did the Y2K. Online it says it’s 7/10 and there is ones that are harder, but when we asked at the location they said it was the hardest room and it was very challenging, especially for two people. We failed, (we have only failed one other time and we have done lots of rooms), but we were close though. The theme was awesome. I just wanted to dance to the music and it brought back memories to my husband and I since we were teens during the actual Y2K. Youngsters won’t understand the room like the older generations., Traveled as a couple", "better than expected, I went into this experience nervous because I suffer from anxiety and the idea of being in a locked room unable to get out didn’t sound fun to me. HOWEVER, the door does not actually lock and you can leave whenever you want. The workers are super nice and give helpful hints. My friends and I made it out with 4 seconds to spare, it was the most fun I’ve had in a while. Full of laughs and high fives. perfect team building experience too. ", "Fun night with friends, A friend of ours was in town and we headed here on his last night here. We went into the hero and were not disappointed. The room was challenging enough without being frustrating and the puzzles were creative and interesting. We had a blast and would definitely recommend this to anyone interested. " ]

[ "Good place for a pit stop, I typically don't like to rate souvenir stores, but this one seem to deserve an entry. This is where most of the tour buses doing and island tour would stop, especially if you are heading towards the North Shore. They have free macadamia nut samples and coffee, and you are very likely to get some.\n\nI actually found some interesting souvenirs in the area (several local merchants) and didn't see much of a price difference with other shops elsewhere.\n\nIf I were to recommend a place to take a break from driving, this would be it. I would not go out of my way to come here, but if you are planning a place to stop along this route, this should be it.", "All Things Macadamia and More, If you want to visit a nuthouse, this is the place to go. They've got macadamia nuts flavoured in many different ways, macadamia oil, macadamia nut butter, soap, macadamias covered in chocolate... you name it.\n\nYou can sample all the flavours of macadamias they have and they have free coffee too. There is also a giftshoppy-souveniry area with art, jewellery etc.\n\nI particularly liked the area behind the store. There were kids smashing their fries macadamia nuts with a rock, roosters and hens everywhere (of course), and a lush area you could walk through on a path.\n\nThere were banana trees, fan palms, lots of flowers, and there weren't many people around. The store was pretty crowded and the walk along the path was peaceful.\n\n, Traveled as a couple", "Much better than I thought..., This was a wonderful experience, much better than I thought it may be. We were accompanied by a young Samoan Chief who shared his most compelling history and lineage. There was a fun and entertaining coconut demonstration (performance) that was absolutely superb. Then, of course you have the opportunity to shop for all types of Macadamia Nuts, coffee and other island goodies at their store.

[ "Outstanding Drinks, Food, and Views, This was our first trip to Oahu and Mai Tai's was our first stop. We indulged in many Mai Tais and some food sprinkled in there, too. \n\nDrinks- We ordered the $40 Ali'i Mai Tai, Lava Flow, Vics 44 Mai Tai, White Wash Mai Tai, and Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai. All our favorites were, of course, the Ali'i Mai Tai and our 2nd favorite was the White Wash.\n\nFood- We ordered The Truffle Parm Fries, Short Rib Loco Moco, and Garlic Shrimp. Every dish was outstanding. \n\nViews- The restaurant sits right on Waikiki Beach with views of Diamond Head. We were lucky to get a seat right in the front with all the views. \n\nAll 4 of us said we would definitely visit Mai Tai's again. , Traveled as a couple", "Great views, The Mai Tai bar is definitely the place to hang if you want to watch the beach activity while eating. I had the $27 thai beef salad for dinner and it had a very unique taste. It was delicious. I thought perhaps they marinated the steak in tarragon and vinegar or something because it was savory and spicy. But they used mint, cilantro, basil and a thai vinaigrette. I didn’t ask about the ingredients of the vinaigrette. There was live music at dinner, and I was near the musician but it wasn’t too loud, which is good. It was pleasant. The Royal Hawaiian $20 mai tai was delicious but very strong. I felt drunk after 4 sips. (But I don’t drink. Just wanted to try it!). It was much more crowded on Friday night than it was for Saturday lunch. The truffle fries are delicious. They are served with a black pepper garlic aioli, and the fries have caramelized shallots, chives, parsley and parmesan cheese on them. I had the mahi sandwich but did not think it was worth $29. It had some guacamole, a little cole slaw ( not much) and fried shallots, but the shallots were dried, like the kind in a bottle you get at the grocery store. But all in all the venu is very convenient, and there isn’t anywhere else in the hotel to have lunch., Traveled solo", "Wonderful times at the Mai Tai Bar, We frequent the Mai Tai bar every year when we come to Hawaii. The atmosphere is fabulous, the drinks and food are amazing. However; the main reason we keep coming back to the Mai Tai bar is the bartenders. They are all very personal and excellent at taking care of their customers. Kui is the most amazing bartender we have ever met. He is always attentive, entertaining and has a huge clientele of locals and tourists who support the Mai Tai bar because of him." ]

[ "High Quality Services at Affordable Prices, I was looking for a more affordable option from the high end resort spa's on my trip to Waikiki.

I was booking services for a group of 3, and they let me know that the spa was very small and that 2 of us would need to share a room. Since we were doing 2 facials and a massage, my friends getting the facials got them together in the couples room. They were very pleased with their facials, and their skin looked great afterward. I couldn't have been happier with my combination massage - one of the best massages I've ever gotten! I decided to go for the 90 minute massage because their price was so reasonable. I would definitely recommend this spa to anyone wanting a great service at a reasonable price. I will visit again if I make it back to Waikiki.

We will be returning. Highly recommend.", "Best Ever, I get massages once a month, on this vacation me and my Wife got the 2hr package with facial and massage.

[ "Best Luau on Oahu, Best Luau I've attended. The performance was entertaining and facinating. Beautiful view of sunset. The dancers protrayed the various islands and cultures. The fire dances were amazing and they even started the original fire with two sticks. Lots of interesting facts. The food is beyond amazing with such care given for any allergies. I have never been fed so well. As a Celiac, I'm used to all that I miss out but not here. I had far more than I could eat. The employees really show the spirit of Aloha. Highly recommend and will return with friends and family. They start with fun activities for the kids/family and take time to recognize birthdays, anniversaries and weddings more than I've ever seen.", "The Best Luau Ever!, Love this Fia Fia Luau.\nThis is a great family event. We’ve been to several Luau’s in Oahu and this is THE best!!!\nLove the dry sense of humor and more intimate than others. Not Hollywood at all!\nWe get a little bit of Polynesian culture education and a great performance from the dancers. Amazing fire dance too. We had a fantastic family evening as a family from 3 different continents! \nThank you for a great show!!, Traveled with family", "Best Luau I’ve Seen!, Best Luau on the island.

The driver always calls to let you know he has arrived. We will definitely use their service on our next visit., Traveled with friends", "Go 808 Express Take 2!, I did not imagine traveling to Oahu, Hawaii twice in less than a year however, I found myself planning my next adventure in February of 2022. My first visit to Oahu was amazing due to the beauty of the island, the fabulous people, and the great businesses that I patronized during my first stay.  One of my favorite companies was Go 808 Express and so I decided to use them again for all of my transportation needs.  I used Go 808 Express for my airport transportation to and from Oahu, our day trip to Kauai, The Bishop’s Museum, Rainbow Helicopter Tours, Waimanalo Beach, Toa Luau, and to The Royal Hawaiian. \nThis company is the absolute best because they operate professionally, are reliable, communicate effectively with clients, and above all always arrive and deliver you to your destination on time.  In addition, their vehicles are clean and well maintained.  The best part of selecting Go 808 Express for your transportation needs are the drivers who simply don’t just pick you up but they engage with their customers.  I learned so many wonderful things about Oahu because of my drivers. \nI always ended my rides with a smile because of these amazing drivers.  If you are in search of a transportation company that is professional and provides superior service look no further than Go 808 Express.  You have found a company that not only provides transportation but truly embraces the spirit of Aloha!!\nThanks Olivia for being one of the most organized and efficient women that I have ever met as a traveler.  Your expertise and efficiency\nsurpassed my expectations.  You are every boss's dream for an employee!!  Keep up the great work!!! Ray thanks for introducing me to more of the beautiful music of Hawaii.  It is because of your love of Hawaiian music that I was inclined to discover a new Hawaiian artist.  Just wanted you to know that Josh Tatofi is now one of my favorites.  Arvic you are such a humble, professional, and kind young man.  I truly appreciate you taking us on the long journey to Toa Lulu and Waimanalo Beach.  You are such a gem, keep up the great work.  Finally, Rodney, you are one amazing business owner.  I can definitely say the same as another reviewer: you are like an old friend.  Thanks for our pick up from the Bishop’s Museum and from the airport from our amazing day trip to Kauai.  We felt like we were picked up by our family.  \nMy son is quiet but I am so happy that he had an opportunity to observe the guys from your company and discover that doing your job well in life is important.  Sometimes life lessons are silently taught to others. \nI must say this again: I admire how professional your company is managed.  Quality and service matters with Go 808 Express.  That’s why I know for sure when we return in February 2024 I will definitely plan our rides with you.  I fell in love with Hawaii after just two visits and I can say the same about Go 808 Express.  There is much to love when a company not only provides what you pay for but the company provides amazing employees who desire to share the beauty of Hawaii with those that they drive.  Mahalo for being a part of another amazing Hawaiian vacation.  Continued Success!!!🌺🌺🌺, Traveled with family", "Reliable and professional!, Best shuttle service! I can not thank the entire crew at Go808 Express enough! Our flight got canceled and we had to take multiple flights to get to Oahu, finally arriving close to midnight. They were so on top of the last minute changes and we’re waiting outside for us in a comfortable and clean van with a infant car seat ready to take us to our rental house. After a 20+ hour multiple airport trip (with a baby and our daughter) it was so relieving to know that Go808 Express was reliable. Thank you to our friendly driver and all the staff at the office. You are the best! And we will definitely be using your services again. Mahalo!!!, Traveled with family" ]

[ "Great excitement and fun!, We had so much fun! It was definitely difficult enough to keep us guessing, but we were lucky enough to escape! We had five in our group and none of us felt like we were left out or there wasn’t enough to do. There was great sound effects and lighting. We had to solve really cool puzzles and had codes to figure out. We had to use clues from the walls, clues found in locked chests and things in the room to solve each problem to keep going. I’m not going to try to pretend like we solved everything by ourselves because our guide gave us a hint or two because we almost didn’t make it out at the end. Your guide doesn’t have to help you though (they stay hidden and you wouldn’t even know they were there if you didn’t ask for their help), so you can try to get everything all by yourself. I’m definitely going to be trying out their virtual experience after trying out the tomb today., Traveled with family", "How can you have so much fun in a 20' by 20' space?, On a trip back home to Hawaii this past New Years, my brother suggested we go to Chambers Escape Games, to try out their virtual reality escape room. I've been curious about how VR has improved over the years and readily agreed. We (four of us) arrived on a weeknight evening (street parking, btw), and went up the stairs to find the entrance to Chambers. Their waiting room held a few other groups (Chambers has multiple rooms, some VR, some in the material world), and the check-in process was quick and efficient. \n\nInside our room we were quickly introduced to our gear (a VR visor, not too bulky) and a backpack containing the CPU. Our host walked us through what we would see and how we could interact with our virtual environment. With a flip of the switch, we were transported to a virtual world in which each of us was represented by an avatar of a different color. The room was small, about 20' by 20', but our avatars kept us from running into each other. Our scenario was a space station that had to be fixed, in order to stop a giant asteroid hurtling toward Earth. To say more would give too much away, but the graphics were great, the ability of the VR headsets to track our movements very precise, and the puzzles were a lot of fun and required a lot of teamwork. As an added bonus at the end they let us wander around a VR scenario they'd set up for Halloween--not a puzzle room, but rather an exploration of a haunted hospital. Overall a really fun time!", "Great Fun at Temple and Astronaut Escape rooms, The experience was so immersive. We did both the Temple and the VR astronauts and they were really cool and well thought. \nThe Temple was hands down the best 3rd generation escape room I have ever been to as far as prop design, decoration, fluidity and most importantly the puzzles. \n\nThe astronaut VR was my first ever VR escape room and it was really well made. The games didn’t feel like games. They really served the story well and the gear was really high quality. The puzzles were fun and the experience was great. Thumbs all the way up., Traveled with friends" ]

[ "Wonderful Guides and Horses, My granddaughter chose this as her activity on our recent trip to the island of Oahu. Phoebe and Madison paired us with horses that matched our horseback riding skills and sizes. Madison was our guide and she was absolutely wonderful. We came across two dogs walking off-leash who barked and startled the horses. Not being horseback riders this made us all a little nervous. Madison jumped off her horse talking to my granddaughter the whole time and holding on to her horse to make sure she knew she was safe. She found a new route for us to take so that we didn't have to go by the dogs. We were still able to take in the beauty of the trails and coastline. ", "Such a wonderful experience!, I booked a sunset ride for my family (wife, 10-yr old, and me) and it was a wonderful experience. We had a great time on this beautiful ride around the property. The staff were highly knowledgeable and informative about various points of interest and local history they shared as we rode along. The horses are well-maintained, beautiful animals with easy-going temperaments suitable for riders of almost any experience level. Our guide was Jen, who brought up the rear of the troop with us and she was super! My daughter thoroughly loved this experience!", "An absolute dream, Oh my goodness, if I could put 10 stars, I would!! Definite 10 out of 10 experience! My daughter and I rode the Late Afternoon ride with Kylie and it was a dream. Perfect time of day. Most of the ride was in dappled shade so it was never hot and unpleasant. My horse, Ben, and my daughter’s horse, Kaehu, were both very sweet. Neither of us are experienced riders so they found the perfect horses for our skill level. They will accommodate the most advanced riders as well as those who have never sat on a saddle. All the horses at the stable are obviously well-cared for and happy which means a great ride experience. Turtle Bay has breathtaking views of the ocean and we were able to ride parallel to the beach for much of the ride. I wanted to pinch myself because it felt like a dream. We even saw two honu turtles in the ocean. Worth every penny and then some. When I return, I want to go back. No doubt., Traveled with family" ]

[ "Great transportation, great experience, What a great deal and experience this was! We traveled to Hawaii Sep 4-12 and we really struggled to find economic transportation that wasn't a crowded bus or Uber. My wife found Hawaii23 online and saw that the reviews were great and the cost was great! The driver was there on time, communication was great via txt and there was only one other couple in the van who were also going to Waikiki. When we were leaving Hawaii, it was easy to book, again the communication was great and we had a wonderful conversation with the driver. We were the only ones in the van, there was plenty of room and we were very pleased we reserved this transportation! When we come back to Hawaii, we will use Hawaii23 again!", "On time, friendly service, Tried Hawaii 23 for the first time when we had to go from Waikiki to the airport. Made my reservation on line, but didn't get a confirmation back from them. Waited 3 or 4 days and still nothing, so I emailed asking if they had received the reservation, no reply. So I called the next day and got an answering machine, where I left my message. With a few hours I got a text message telling me to text if I wanted a reply. So I sent a text. Next day I had confirmation and a request to reply to the confirmation so they would know I had received it, which I did. Soon I received confirmation that they had received the confirmation of the confirmation that they had sent me. Day before our departure I get an email asking if they can change pickup time by 10 minutes, which I say is fine (at least they are keeping me informed of everything now). Day of service they are right on time. An older van driven by a really nice guy, he laughed and joked with us all the way to the airport.\n Would I use Hawaii23 again? You bet I will! Aside from being slow to confirm a reservation, they were on time, friendly, and much cheaper than most shuttle services in Hawaii.\n\n, Traveled as a couple", "Great shuttle service that provides car seats, Highly recommend Hawaii23 transportation to get to and from the airport if you don’t want to rent a car. They are the best priced and provide direct service. We got a shuttle all to ourselves to and from the airport to our hotel. They were friendly, on time, and quick. If you have children, they have car seats available for free as part of the ride. So there is no need to lug the heavy car seat on to the plane with you. Two adults and two kids cost us $43 a trip. The shuttle service that our hotel recommended was over $60 so I definitely recommend Hawaii23 if you want to save some money!, Traveled with family" ]

[ "One Amazing Production!, If you plan to spend your day at The Polynesian Cultural Center make sure not to depart at the end of the day.  You definitely need to consider attending The Breath of Life Show.  It is an absolutely well written and choreographed show with amazing costumes and fire dancers.  I must admit I believed I was on Broadway for a moment but had to quickly pinch myself to remember I was in Hawaii.  The show beautifully tells the story of a son who is born to his father and mother and his journey throughout life.  Breath of Life is a beautiful story of the human experience.  We are born, we live, we discover ourselves, and one day will no longer physically exist but the spirit of one continues in future generations.  As I watched Breath of Life my son said to me, mom one day I will grow up. Sadly, I know this is true but I was happy to simply enjoy a beautiful moment watching Breath of Life with him.  \nThe story is indeed beautiful and the ending fire dancers are unbelievable.  I have never seen female fire dancers perform. I must admit they delivered an amazing ending to such a magnificent show.  If you are interested in not just a performance but a beautiful production that tells a human story that we are all familiar with, you must see Breath of Life.  Bravo to the cast and crew for a spectacular performance., Traveled with family", "Perhaps the highlight of our trip to Honolulu, this may well have been the highlight of our few days in a transit visit through Honolulu.

[ "Great time but Covid protocols could be better, We’ve been to Oahu 4 times and to Germaines 3 times and we LOVE the show. The food is good as well and the drinks are strong. This last time we went (9/15/2021) we were getting absolutely eaten by sand fleas. It was so bad I had to keep my feet up on the bench. I don’t know why the fleas were so aggressive this time but we never experienced this on our other visits. Covid protocols were really good; they seated families together and separated us by about 6 feet and mandated masks be worn when not eating/drinking. The issue is, there was no enforcement of mask wearing so the majority of the audience weren’t even wearing masks when the performers started, which puts them at grave risk for Covid, not to mention other patrons. Upgrading to the plumeria package is worth it bc you get great seats right next to the stage., Traveled with family", "Good but not great experience, Germaines was highly recommended so we booked the higher priced package. Traveling from Waikiki it took about 1 hr. And 15 minutes. The traffic is terrible in Honolulu. Upon arrival they make you wait a few minutes so they can set up for COVID credential check. Clean and nice facilities for a luau. Everyone is professional, courteous and nice. With our package we set center stage, first row. The salad came immediately and drinks started to flow soon thereafter. We did not use all of our drink tickets but the staff was there to serve us. Food is served by groups in a buffet style. A plate consists of pork, chicken, fish, rice, macaroni salad,a roll and gelatin dessert. We expecting to be wowed by the pork, but were underwhelmed. The entertainment is what you expect, a smooth sounding background band and numerous traditional dance routines. The program takes you through traditional dances across the South Pacific. All the dancers were excellent and the fire dancer was outstanding. It was something that we had on our bucket list, but not something we will do again., Traveled with family", "Touristy......good for young families, During our trip to Oahu it was suggested that we experience a traditional Luau and try Germaine's. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and they certainly took adequate measures to keep parties safely distant from each other. For the price (it's quite expensive for 4 people), we selected the Plumeria package, which gets us good seating and a photo. While we enjoyed the show, I guess I was expecting a bit more, and I was a bit disappointed in the food. I was expecting the pork to be more flavorful, and I felt a bit rushed with the food. My sons are young adults (over 21), and I think this is better suited for a younger family." ]

They also sell some of their products at Costco in Hawaii and you can find them at the Tommy Bahama store as well.", "Great cookie adventure, My son is hooked on these cookies after our trip to Waikiki for the Thanksgiving holiday. We were actually sent in search of these cookies when my pal learned that we would be in the area. She had specific instructions and made sure we got her cookie card stamped. We couldn't leave Hawaii before making a purchase for her and then going back twice so my son could refill his cookie stock.

I found a Groupon buy one, get one free which made the cost really affordable for as much chocolate as we got to enjoy. The employees of this small start-up business are passionate about their chocolate. It's been hard to go back to eating regular milk chocolate after tasting some of their specialty craft chocolate!", "Wonderful Chocolate Experience in Kailua, After a day at the beach in nearby Kailua Beach we headed to Mānoa Chocolates for a chocolate tasting. All of the cacao for their chocolates are grown across the state of Hawaii and then manufactured here on the premises in Kilauea. Our chocolate sommelier was Aubrey and she provided a great education on the cacao fruit, how the bean is then harvested and turned into chocolate. We tried more than six chocolates, had brewed chocolate in between each to clear our palate and it was all complimentary! Something quite amazing is how there was one chocolate - 70% dark, which was the same exact recipe, but from two very different cacao trees and they tasted so different. One was from lava fields on the big island of Hawaii while the other was from farmland on Maui. Well worth the visit and tasting session. We ended up buying four bars to go!", "We really enjoyed the tour, The tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about what they are doing and the global impact their operation is having in the world. They are committed to high ethical standards in their sourcing which is a big deal to me, so learning how their little chocolate operation is impacting farmers all over the world was wonderful to hear. We also got to taste all the different varieties they offer. Our tour was on the weekend so we didn’t get to se the chocolate being made like you would on a week day. Take that into consideration when choosing a day for your tour. It’s very small so if you aren’t up for a lot of walking, that won’t be a problem., Traveled with family" ]

I booked myself for an add-on peel as well, but after discussing it further with Tuyet, I opted to do the peel another time and I truly appreciate her honesty about it as she was looking out for me and my skin versus getting money in. She was very sweet and easy to talk to, listened to my concerns and gave advice on how to follow-up or treat the issues. I haven’t had any bad experiences and the staff does a wonderful job with following up.\nThe office itself continues to be clean and they’re limiting the number of people in the space along with having clients complete a release form (concerning the pandemic).

We stayed at the Beach Resort condos .3 miles away so I enjoyed a leisurely walk to my appt. I arrived and was given a tour of their hydration experience which included me selecting a message stone with my eyes closed that I “gave back to the earth” later in my tour. There is so much to tell about this experience that moved my soul and healed my spirit which was still bruised from the loss of a treasured loved one two weeks ago. The one hour that I spent preparing my body and my senses for my 80 minute massage was as restorative and exhilarating as the exceptional head to toe massage itself. Do try the whirlpool and cold dunk therapy pools, my tired sciatic knees were immediately improved with this technique. The various shower head outdoor showers were also a revelation, especially the one with the pulsating massage force water pressure. There is a relaxation room where you wait for your massage that has recumbent massage chairs. There is a “drying room, where you go to get ready for your massage has everything you need to reset before and after your treatment including dryers, hair gel, shampoo and conditioner as well as SPF 30 sunscreen!

It takes place on the pseudo stage with the turf grass under the huge banyan tree on Waikiki beach. There is a seating area with some turf grass as well. Many folks brought some blankets or towels to lay down and sit on, or some brought over their beach chairs or camp chairs that they have. Some folks also stood in the back or around the sides. This show is sponsored by the Hyatt Regency across the street, and if you are staying there, you can check out beach chairs and towels from the pool to bring over. We showed up about 30 minutes early and was able to watch the sunset, and then turn around and watch the show. There is a live band playing music, and hula dancers that come out to perform as well. They played all different types of songs and explained what each song meant and the story it was telling. The dancers had different costumes and different things they held in their hand for each number. They ranged in ages from 4 to 17 I would guess, and they were all talented.

[ "Luau at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, I thought $200/ticket was pretty pricey for a luau, but my experiences at the Royal Hawaiian over the years have been outstanding. All other luaus near were booked, and we would have had to drive over an hour each way near the PCC to attend another. Long drive at night after probably drinking didn't sound good, so that along with my love of the RH pushed me to buy tickets for 7 of us. I was with my adult family, 5 of whom had never been to Hawaii. The event was booked at 3 hours from 5-8p. We all met at the RH from our days activities. Long line at check in moved fast with lots of staff assisting. Drinks at these events are typically watered down and sloppy. These were the same that they served in the RH bar: tasty, beautiful, and there were no less than 5-6 tickets per person included with plenty of non alcoholic choices. Food was authentic, delicious, and plentiful. The show was excellent. Musicians were top notch, dancers were professional, and the content of the show was much better than expected. Staff was plentiful and accommodating. We never had trouble getting someones attention if we needed it, but usually never had to ask. A great experience and worth the money, and a bonus that we could walk home. Highly recommend.", "Luau Fit for a King and Queen, The Royal Hawaiian Aha 'Aina Royal Celebration was an outstanding dinner show, not to be missed. The band was terrific; the execution of the guard rifle handling, the art of the dancing & singing and the excitement of the fire torch display was by far the best I have seen at a Luau. The venue was relatively small and not nearly the crowd I've seen before for this kind of entertainment which I suspect has to do with the price being on the high side.\n\nFood and drinks were excellent. We had a few picky eaters and by the night's end, all was devoured.\n\nService again excellent as it was fun to chat with our server aunties after the show. \n\nCome early and listen to as much of the band as you can.", "Be careful of the venue, The problem with this Lu’au is that you have no way of knowing in advance whether it will be held outdoors overlooking the ocean, or indoors in a corporate-style hotel conference room. I’ve done both, and believe me, there’s no comparison between the two experiences. The official line is that they bring the performance indoors because of concerns about the weather. My guess is it depends on whether the hotel can get a lucrative corporate or private booking for the lovely lawn area, in which case they bump the Lu’au indoors. The charge is the same for the luau at either venue. The size of the audience is relatively small (I ballparked about 150 people) compared to the hordes that are accommodated at some luaus. The entertainment is good; the food very typical of any Lu’au on the island; the staff and performers very gracious; the sunset over the water lovely. From our accommodations at the Moana Surfrider, we could walk on the sand to and from the Royal Hawaiian, which was a nice perk. On our most recent visit the luau was outdoors, and our grandchildren saiid was the highlight of their trip. I don’t know how far in advance of the performance guests can find out whether it will be indoors or outdoors; but it’s worth knowing., Traveled with family" ]

[ "Very Responsive, Timely, and Professional, I just have to write this review to rave about the coordinator behind this company: his name is Jay. And of course - thanks to the drivers that were dispatched to pick me up. From the time I arranged for my airport shuttle to and from HNL/Inouye, Jay has been very responsive and professional on all communications. This set the tone of my expectation. I knew I was dealing with a reputable company.\n\nWhen I arrived at the HNL airport, my ride was already waiting for me, with a text from the company providing needed info to identify my driver and where to meet him. Then, when I left, it's the same active communication of the driving informing me that they are coming to pick me up at specific time. Both rides were timely and the drivers were professional and friendly. \n\nThe roundtrip ride fee is very reasonable, which is why I gave ample tips to the drives - to total about the same amount I would have paid if I used UberXL. I just think that they deserve great tips.\n\nThanks to the Aloha Airport Shuttle team for making my trip stress free. It can be very challenging to find a reliable airport shuttle company right now, given the influx of travelers to Hawaii.", "Great way to get to and from the airport, I highly recommend this company. They were cheaper than the Lyft/Uber options so we decided to try them to get to our hotel. We liked them so much we booked them to pick us up at the hotel to take us back to the airport. They had great communication and both times our drivers were on time. They made the process really easy at an affordable rate. They were great!, Traveled solo", "Punctual, helpful and comfortable, We chose this service for the great reviews and great price for 4 adults. We cleared customs and rang on the toll free number and our driver was already there. Comfortable, private service straight to our hotel and our driver told us about the local area. We used the same service on the way back to the airport and it was consistent. Highly recommended." ]

[ "Pedego Bike Tour, Excellent Tour by a great young man named Kaipo. He shared the rich Hawaiian culture and took us to places we would have never seen. We had an amazing time when a sudden rainstorm drenched us for a few minutes and then the glorious sun came out and we were dry in no time! I highly recommend taking a tour with Pedego Electric Bikes in Kailua. You won't regret it.", "Excellent people to deal with, We really enjoyed our bicycle rental. The bicycles are new. The owner explained the workings of the electric bicycle, showed and explained the trails in detail, we rented the bicycle for three hours but because of other commitments we returned the bicycle earlier. We did not ask for a an adjustment but the owner made the adjustment. I highly recommend this small business. Covid shutdowns must have been difficult for the business, but the owner kept on his principles. These people are truly decent good people.", "Very informative, My guide was the owner. A local for many years, seems to know many residents in the area. The tour was four hours long. He went over the geology and history of Kailua, showed me houses in the area including Lanikai, and highlighted many of the local sites. We went to Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach. Got a real good sense of downtown Kailua and got recommendations for places to eat and other things to do.\n\nThe bike itself was electric with a throttle assist on the handle (not a pedal assist) and a crate for storing your stuff. You'll need to sign a liability form and decide whether you want to wear a helmet the whole time or not. We went at a slow pace. The area is fairly flat with only some hills." ]

[ "Dolphin Quest is a 12/10 Experience, Dolphin quest was everything I’d hoped it would be and more! The trainers are so knowledgeable and dolphins are such amazing creatures! The trainers took the time to address everyone in the group by their name every time. This is something that goes a long way and is so appreciated! We were able to play games with the dolphins, swim with them and cheer them on while they amazed us with their talents! I also bought the photo package and got some awesome pictures! I knew my money was very well spent on this experience going towards caring for these wonderful creatures and would absolutely do it again! This experience is a 12/10!, Aloha, megankzenga! It brings smiles to our faces when we hear about your amazing experience swimming, interacting and playing with the dolphins.

My two kids (10 & 7 y/o) and I participated in a most amazing 30 minutes interaction with the a dolphin. Lots of opportunities to pat & feed. We learned much about the dolphin, saw it performed tricks, and swam side by side with it. We even got a kiss from it and it bids us farewell by a high jump from the water. No one wants the session to end. Another participant said that was the best 30 minutes of her life! Highly recommend though quite pricey. You also want to allocate some budget to purchase your entire package of great photos they took. , We're thrilled to be the highlight of your trip for you and your family, Spring601! The look on our guests face when they get to meet a dolphin friend up-close is always a heartwarming moment and it sounds like you all really experienced that.

They had 30 minutes in the water and swam and pet and played with the dolphin. It is a significant cost for 30 minutes but it was well worth it once you understand all that goes into this program and the humane care and training and treatment of these mammals. Also, it is a lot to ask of a confined mammal to perform for a long time -- and the dolphin was superb for the timeframe we had. It was a once in a lifetime experience but we do hope to go back in a couple of years and do it again. It was very special and very hands on. The staff and trainers were wonderful people. We highly recommend this experience. So special to be able to do this under the guidance of experts., Traveled with family" ]

[ "Bull’s Eye, Friendly staff greet patrons at the door and give a thorough briefing of safety and different ways of handling an axe. There is no liquor allowed at this time as they are awaiting their liquor license but there are snacks and soft drinks at the bar. \n\nIf you are not a fan of loud noises, an ear plug may help, but your ears will get desensitized fairly quickly- until you hear ricochet of a stray axe that failed to stick properly.\n\nWe had Miles as our instructor who kept his eye on us the whole time; leaning in with suggestions that helped us to gain a couple bull’s eyes!!! Yea you! \n\nIt was our first time there and it was spent mainly getting used to the weight, the trajectory of the axe in relation to your release, and proper throwing posture with adjustments. \n\nThis was fun, and although I was expecting to hurt the next day, I was fine.\n\nIt would have been nice to be able to drink a few and relax but we’ll have to revisit when they obtain their liquor license, although I feel my throwing will probably not be as accurate with alcohol coursing through my veins! 😂 \n\nI Highly recommend to check this place out. \n\nThere were three of us for about two hours which came up to a total of about $94 which seems pricey, but it was worth the learning and the laughs. \n\nThanks #bladeandtimber for a great time!\nKī, Traveled with friends", "Expensive but fun and worth it!, It was expensive but it was worth it. We did a private lane (for my boyfriends birthday) and it was just the 2 of us. Alex was our guide and showed us how to properly throw and safety tips along the way and through out your experience they show you ‘trick shots’. When he would go off and do his own thing or help other customers he’d keep an eye out on us (as well as others) and throw in tidbits here and there to help us improve our throwing. In terms of food they only have basic snacks and drinks but it’s enough to get you by and something to munch on. I hit a bullseye 🎯 once with an underhand throw lol I was quite proud of myself haha\n\nThey have games on the tables that people can do. My and my boyfriend did our own game (10 rounds and tallying up the score). \n\nThey also have a photobooth that creates a gif which you can text or email to yourself (no limit on how many you take). Overall it was good fun and I’d recommend it. That one hour and 30 minutes goes by really fast so the more people you have, the less chances you’ll get to throw. , Traveled as a couple", "Super fun! It's like bowling, but with axes., I went here with a group of friends. There was 6 of us total assigned to the lane. Our lane coach was Chad and he was super friendly and helpful. He showed us how to safely pick up the axes and remove them from the wall. I appreciate all the safety precautions they take here, even supplying Crocs for those that didn't come with covered-toe shoes. We played the game \"First to 50\" and that took up the entire hour and a half we reserved for the night. This was our first time, so we were pretty terrible at aiming, but it was still a good time. We each rotated and had a turn to throw an axe while the others sat at a table behind the safety line, kinda like bowling.\n\nIt's a lot of novelty fun and a great experience to share with friends and family! It does get kind of loud in the area since the ceiling is very low and the overall space is tight. Groups cheering and the loud banging noises of axes thumping against the wall and knocking on the grates does compound into a cacophony of noise during the evening. It was a bit hard to hear our coach during those times, but that's just the nature of the space. " ]

[ "Worth it, 100%!, This ride was fantastic. Sierra was our guide, and she did a great job telling about the area we were riding in and keeping us going. The scenery along the North Shore is simply stunning. We were a family of 4 (two kids - 11 and 15 yo - who are experienced riders and 2 parents who are not) and it was a great experience for all 4 of us. The instruction at the beginning was more than sufficient for us even given the variation in skill, and the ride itself was incredibly relaxing. We rode on the beach and along pastures at a walk (western style). You can grab bags that loop over the saddle horn at the check-in post to put keys and phones in, easy to pull out and take photos en route. It was really fun and we recommend these rides as highly as possible!", "Fun Family Experience, My daughters and I enjoyed our beach, sunset ride. The guide (Santi from Argentina) was charming and helpful. The horses were amazing. They were so well behaved and really responded to the commands that we were told to use. I think the teaching at the beginning was great! We got beautiful sunset photos as a group and Santi took the time to capture individual shots for each of us. A memorable experience for us all.", "A relaxing ride along the beach, We booked to go for a ride at 1pm but our gps took us to the wrong place but thankfully after calling them they let us reschedule for the next tour (in 2 hrs time) as were were over an hour away from their location.\nTIP: when putting the address into your gps, put the zip code in with the address to make sure that you go to the right place, or just put in ‘Hawaii polo club’ 👍\nWe finally made it and the people were very friendly and easy going.\nOur tour guide was really nice and very chatty and our horses were fantastic... they are all either current or former polo horses and are very responsive and well behaved.\nWe would thoroughly recommend giving these guys a go if you are after a relaxing horse trail ride whilst on Oahu. 🤙\nMahalo, Traveled as a couple" ]

[ "Fun little bar!, We happened upon this bar and were so glad we did. There was at least a 1 hour wait for the bars in the area and one of the hostesses told us about Arnold’s and how to find it. It’s a great little bar with indoor/outdoor seating and TVs. The best part is it wasn’t overrun with tourists but seemed popular with locals which is always a good sign. We had some beers and shots and watched sports on the TVs while we waited and had a great time. The bartender was great and she was really nice to talk to as well. We saw some people order pizzas and they looked good as well. Definitely check it out if you have a chance and the prices wont break your wallet like most other places as well.", "A must visit on your Waikiki pub crawl, As a self acclaimed aficionado of Dive Bars, I sought out this literal hole in the wall bar down a narrow alley off Kalakua Ave. Some essential elements of a Dive Bar (in this case dive cocktail lounge) that are apparent at Arnold’s are: entrance down a narrow alley, small, and the pièce de résistance – having a certain phantasmagoric quality, in this case a life size naked hula girl sculpture. They have seating for maybe 20 people tops in an inside/outside setting. Arnold’s has very friendly staff and bar tenders that make great tropical cocktails. They have a large flat screen to enjoy the game de jour. Definitely recommend stopping by.", "Great time if you can get in!, Great staff, good pizza, tasty drinks. Only downside is how small it is. Wouldn't try taking a large group there at prime hours. We were lucky to get in as a couple after about a 20 minute wait on the sidewalk out front. I think it was like 5 or 6p one evening midweek. They card everyone, so take ID with ya. Be sure to ask your server about the ghost., Traveled as a couple" ]

I was a bit surprised that it was simply a taxi that I guess is chartered by this company. They do not accept cards so make sure you have cash and the driver didn’t know how much the trip cost was arranged for which I thought was kind of crazy.
