Kandoo Island is still waiting on Coast Guard approvals before they can get in the Water… I’m sure the Emperior of Japan being here for a visit didn’t help the schedule.
Can’t wait till their up and running… This will be the BEST Activity in Waikiki. Compared to the individual activity prices, ($70-$100) per activity! Kandoo Island will have a half day pass that will allow you to do multipul activitities in a four (4) hour period for $150. (jetsking, parasailing, snuba, Bob helmet diving, and more)

or You can just play on the Kandoo Island, snorkle, swim, lounge around, for $20 transportation included. The Kandoo Island will also have Food and Drinks for your enjoyment. Our familiarization trip (fam) was a blast, they had a friendly staff, getting use to the new operation, let all new ventures, but the potential is huge. A definate must do when in Hawaii.

That’s why wherever and whenever possible, we turn to ecologically friendly alternatives. Every engine that kan runs biodiesel or a biodiesel blend. KanDoo! is the largest consumer of biodiesel than any water-based activity in Hawaii. They re-use or recycle everything they possibly can. You won’t find any paper or disposable plastic aboard any KanDoo! vessel. Even the food scraps are recycled as feedstock! KanDoo! conducts voluntary environmental reviews of our operations and share the results with the local green community to see where we can improve on our efforts. Even our uniforms are made of eco-friendly materials whenever possible. Rather than neoprene wetsuits, which use petroleum producs and take thousands of years to return to the earth, we use limestone-based wetsuits. They cost a bit more, but they’re worth it in our minds. KanDoo! Kommitment You will have lifetime experiences with KanDoo! They guarantee it. If not they will make it right.

Check it out off of our website at Waikiki.com

The internet was designed to save companies money on being able to send information without the cost of printing. I feel the best way to get information to visitors about Waikiki and Oahu, that can help them plan their vacation is to provide an online Travel Guide which will allow them to print the information they want and not give them a printed and bound publication, with a bunch on data, that they really didn’t want. This will save many tree and allow the information that they really want to be printed and taken with them on their trip. This could be coupons, directions, address or phone numbers. Our advertisers are also excited with the idea to get their information into the visitors hands before they arrive in Hawaii. With the amount of competition after the visitor arrives being able to reach visitors prior to arrival is very important. Visitors planning their activities, mapping out where to go and getting ideas of locations before coming to Hawaii, only makes the trip more enjoyable, instead of running around not knowing where to go and wasting valuable vacation time. It takes much of the hassle and stress of organizing on the spot, when you already have an idea of where you want to go and what you want to do! It makes for more of a relaxed vacation.
