This boat ride was amazing. The entertainment was very good with Hawaiian hula dancing and singing. When we got to the grotto it was a short easy walk and once again we were entertained at the grotto where Elvis sang in the movie Blue Hawaii. On the trip back down river one of our guides gave us lots of history of the area including places where movies had been filmed.
It was a very pleasant morning and would recommend Smith’s Fern Grotto tours to everyone.

I must admit I almost didn’t book this tour because of the duration. I’m so glad we did though!! This tour was a fantastic blend experiences. Our guide was super knowledgeable and kept us engaged in conversation just enough. When we had stops to explore the coffee farm, black sand beach, lava tube, nighttime lava flow. None of the stops felt rushed or lingered too long. I would highly recommend this. It was one of the best experiences we had on our trip.

It was a fabulous experience, visiting this landscape scenery was fantastic.
We were fortunate not to have rain, while on our expedition, however clouds in the background of this majestic mountainous views made it more incredible to look at.
I liked seeing the cattle alond the landscape, I expected a huge dinosaur come out of the lush vegetation and help itself to a tasty meal.
We had a great tour guide, we truly enjoyed her narrative description and related stories about the Ranch, plus her recomendation for after hours food locations on our way back to civilization.

I think horseback riding and buggies are great, but if you want to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, this tour is perfect. You can fully enjoy the movie filming locations, the agricultural and fishery conditions, and the wonderful views of Kualoa. However, since it was an English-guided tour, I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English better.
乗馬やバギーも良いと思うが、ゆっくり景色と楽しむなら、このツアー。映画ロケ地を堪能、農林水産の状況、クアロアの素晴らしい景色を存分に堪能できた。ただ、英語ガイドだったので、英語が分かればもっと楽しかったと思います。

I chose this excursion to surprise my Husband on out Honeymoon and we had the best time. Yoshi was kind, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. I was even able to tell him that this was a surprise for my husband and he had no idea what we were doing and Yoshi helped me keep that secret till we were at the top of the summit. Yoshi picked us up at the Lahaina Mall and made many fun stops on our way to the top of Haleakala. First was Krispy Creme where he picked us up donuts, next we stopped at Foodland so we could all get some food for sunset and the final stop was Kula Lodge located on the volcano. We then reached the summit to watch the sunset. Yoshi was so kind and took many pictures of my Husband and I. He had blankets, coats, and gloves for us as it is quite chilly at the top. We were then able to sit in his warm van and enjoy the food we had bought at Foodland and Yoshi offered us coffee that he brought. Then the fun part started, Yoshi has very high quality telescopes. We went when there was a full moon and we were able to see the moon in very high detail as well as Saturn and Jupiter and few constellations. We will definitely be coming back when we visit Maui again and we cant wait!!

Dylan was a fantastic guide! He put an interesting spin on the whole tour, and he taught us a lot about the geology of the island as a whole. Every part of the tour was great. The coffee farm had a wonderful view, the bakery was great, the beach was very unique, and the volcano + hike were really cool. The fact that they'd brought a telescope made it even easier to see the laval.

I opted for a window seat or private seating guarantee, along with a commemorative photo, cake, and sparkling wine. The sparkling wine was delicious, and we received one bottle. We each got a commemorative photo, but if I had known that we would each receive one, I would have posed differently. Unfortunately, we ended up with two similar photos since there was no explanation before the shoot, which was disappointing.
During boarding, it was explained that we would receive a welcome drink plus two additional drinks, totaling three. However, the welcome drink ended up being the sparkling wine we ordered as an option. I brought this up to the staff on board, but it was not accepted. I hope the staff is properly trained on the course content.
The view of Diamond Head and the Waikiki hotels during the cruise was great. The food was generally tasty.
オプションで窓際席またはプライベート席確約+記念写真+ケーキ+スパークリングワインを付けて利用しました。
スパークリングワインはボトル1本で美味しかった。
記念写真は、夫婦に各1枚もらえた。各々が貰えることが分かっていれば、違うポーズをとったのだが、特に説明もないまま撮影されたため、同じような写真を2枚貰うことになり、残念です。
ドリンクは、ウエルカムドリンク+2杯の計3杯分提供されると、乗船時に説明があったが、結果的には、ウエルカムドリンクは、オプションで注文したスパークリングワインにされてしまった。これを船内の店員に申し出たが受け入れられませんでした。コースの内容はしっかりと船内の店員にも教育をしてほしいと思いました。
クルーズ中に見えるダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキホテル群の景色はよかったです。
食事は、普通に美味しかったです。
お二人がウェルカムのノンアルコールシャンパンを受け取れなかったことをお詫び申し上げます。この件についてフード&ビバレッジのゼネラルマネージャーに報告し、全スタッフにトレーニングを行い、今後は商品提供を見逃さないようにいたします。ポジティブなフィードバックとして、景色やディナーを楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。お客様のフィードバックを大変感謝しており、常に改善に努めてまいります。改めて、今回ご期待に沿えなかったことを心よりお詫び申し上げます。
I am so sorry to hear that both of you did not received welcome non-alcohol champagne drinks for the toast. We brought up to Food and Beverage General Manager and will train all staff to make sure we do not miss any product offerings. In a positive feedback, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the views and dinner. We greatly appreciate your feedback so we can always improve. Once again, we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectation this time.

I had an amazing time.
My first experience with an electric mountain bike was really scary, but once I got used to it, I was able to zoom through the stunning mountain and sea views at incredible speeds—it felt fantastic! I think it's more suited for younger people; it might be tough for those in their 50s. Also, with just basic conversational English skills, I often struggled to understand the explanations for setting up the electric bike. But basically, there are four modes, and it was a simple operation of just changing the mode for uphill and downhill.
It was a beginner course, but the foreign participants had long legs and were pedaling at quite a fast speed, so I was doing my best to keep up. The instructor, Fallen, was amazing—funny, cute, and kind, and I became a fan of hers. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to do this again. However, I think 20,000 yen without transportation is a bit high, so I hope they can work on that.
めちゃくちゃ楽しかった。
初の電動マウンテンバイクはめちゃくちゃ怖かったけど慣れたら圧巻の山海の間を爆速できて最高に気持ちいい!!年齢的に若い人向けだと思う。50代は厳しいかな…あと日常英会話程度の英語力だと電動自転車の設定の説明とか理解できない事が多かった。でも要は4モードあって、坂道や下り坂でモードを変えるだけのシンプルな操作だった。
初級コースだったけど外国人の人達足長いしスイスイかなり速いスピードでこいで遅れを取らない様にと必死だった。
インストラクターのfallen さんがAmazingな方で面白くてかわいくて優しくてファンになった。又ハワイ行ったら絶対やりたい。送迎なしで2万は高いのでそこどうにかして欲しいです。涙

Super fun experience! The show was by far the most entertaining show we experienced during our stay in Oahu. The dancing was beautiful and the fire dancing was jaw dropping! We attended during our honeymoon and we were made to feel unbelievable special despite countless honeymooners and anniversaries attending as well. The only reason I did not award 5 stars is because the food was pretty mediocre. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. The drinks however, were delicious so that makes up for it!

Had a wonderful experience at the top of Mauna Kea watching the sunset, followed by star gazing at a private location.
Very accommodating, lots of pics taken for us and very informative about the dormant volcano as well as Hawaii and the observatories. Coats and mitts were available when the temp dropped with the sunset.
The choice was ours to make as to pics we wanted taken, where and when to have our dinner snack and what we wanted to see in the night sky.
A few improvements would be to have a more comfortable van. This van was not comfortable to ride in for the trip to the top and back. Additionally, the photography equipment and additional telescope equipment should be added and improved.

The pickup was quick and efficient and comfortable from the bus tour company. The guide told us what to expect before we arrived and showed a safety video while we were driving. From there we were escorted to the boat. Then swiftly seated at our table. The inside of the ship was very nice and tables were set and ready to receive us. We were right next to the stage. The live music was awesome and our entertainment was nonstop from a ukulele Hawaiian singer to Jazz saxophone player with a singer, then an amazing array of traditional Hawaiian dancers that brought excitement and energy to the cruise. The day went was Friday so the captain stayed out longer for the Fireworks at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. (Caution if you get motion sickness take precautions Dramamine or motion sickness bands are a must. No joke) It was our wedding anniversary we had the best time and the lobster and steak were amazing.
