U can park at the Ocean Aquarium, but you’ll have to trek down to the harbor and it is down a ways. Breakfast was awesome with hot food options! Lunch was great and also had hot food options! Plenty of drinks options too! Got to see whales; dolphins; and sea turtles on the way to the snorkling spots- turtle town and molakini. The Calypso has slides and was a great big triple…”

See-through raft for littles. Morning tour was laid back with little music and alcohol. We saw several whales. Saw one turtle at Turtle Town.”

“The best luau I’ve been too. You can’t beat the ambiance, view or atmosphere here. The performances are all relatively the same but what set this apart is the location. You can’t beat the black rock in the background. Great setting for photos as well when the sun sets. We really enjoyed the show and how they incorporates the audience. Other shows we’ve been too they try to make you dance to long and it gets redundant. It was great that they brought folks up on stage. Hilarious and good fun.”
