Wow! This was so cool

This Hawaii VR experience was amazing. The animation was so real. My only complaint is that it did not last long enough

Great time (Even when it’s raining outside)

It was an amazing experience and love to do it again. If you’re looking for something fun to do with the family or do something when it is raining, this is the one thing the whole family can do and enjoy. If you get a chance while visiting the island, I highly recommend this and it’s something you’ll never forget.

Recommended for gap time

I thought I would try it when I had time, but I still thought it was expensive, but it was cheap until June, and upon further investigation I discovered it was cheaper! We've got to do this. and sign up during the gap and join immediately He also showed me how to set up my phone, which I was unfamiliar with, just three family members on a big bus. Everything I see is like a dream, and I'm touched. And they sent me pictures of themselves that I could enjoy later on, and I think it was very good to see them.

Do It!! Best 30 minutes you will spend.

Absolute must do in Waikiki. Informative yet fun. It was the best 30 minutes of doing anything in Waikiki that I have done.

It was a great experience. It is also recommended for adults!

I think this is a tour that can be enjoyed by both adults and children, whether you are new to VR. Although the official website said there would be no guide on board, I was relieved to know that a female Japanese staff member was on board all the time and could explain gently and carefully how to put the VR on.  The VR experience was so real and exciting that even adults could speak. I was particularly surprised by the eruption of Diamond Head and the giant whales. The size of the giant whale in the 360° ocean was truly overwhelming and inspiring. This experience, where you can meet giant whales and sea turtles because you can't physically dive anymore, can only be experienced in VR, so adults should definitely try it.

For kids -- young and old

Lots to enjoy here. Mostly for kids and those who are still kids at heart. The 3D animation effects were fun. It was well worth the discounted price ($10 per person) that we paid by ordering online a day or two before. The bus and headsets were very clean. One or two people in our group had a little bit of dizziness or nausea by the very end of the half hour ride, but that didn't diminish their enjoyment of the ride.

Great birthday gift!

Took my 88 year old mother for her birthday. It was her first experience with VR and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved hearing her ooh and aah over the images she was seeing during the ride especially her laughter when she had to grab the mana stones flying towards us.

Great Experience

The overall experience was fun. I can say I wasn't expecting the excursion to be virtual, however, we had a great experience. All I can add is to try it for yourself. If you have little ones they will definitely enjoy themselves.
