Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Great Snorkeling Trip

Reviewed by: Tianxiong

This trip is a morning trip to Molokini and then Turtle town close to west Maui. The price is quite reasonable since it includes Cruise, continental breakfast, burger lunch, drinks with alcohol or non-alcohol, and snorkeling gears. It has snorkeling noodles and boards for those who are not good at swimming. They also have lifeguard, so pretty safe for this trip. The total snorkeling time is two hours: one hour for Molokini, and one hour for Turtle town.

Molokini is wonderful, many colorful fishes and coral reefs there. It’s the crater of a hidden volcano, of course extinct volcano.

The next stop is Turtle town, which locates close to west Maui. It’s hundreds meters off the shore. We see several turtles under the water. We followed a turtle and enjoyed swimming with it.

By the way, the scene from the cruise is fantastic. We have a broad overlook of Maui island and the valley in west Maui.

Thrilling Haleakala 6-Line Zipline Tour - Skyline Eco Adventure

Fantastic Zipline Experience in Haleakala

Reviewed by: Tianxiong

What a wonderful day to expend about 2.5 hours in Haleakala. The stuff are very friendly. If I spell their names correctly, their names are Shin and Kathy. Shin is a fun guy that talked many jokes in this adventure. Kathy is a girl studying her undergraduate. She is enthusiastic in protecting environment in Maui.

This zipline fun activity does not require any past experience or training. Unlike some zipline that needs you to know some basic stuff like how to slow down using glove or how to handle when you get stuck in the middle of the zipline, here the stuff will take care of everything including landing. What you need to do is to free yourself and just enjoy. It contains five zipline courses and a skywalk bridge. I love the last zipline most. That one is the longest zipline that I have ever tried. Also, it has a great view. The max speed reaches 40 mph, and we go forth and backward multiple times. Shin uses the ladder to help us go down the zipline. That’s really fun!

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Get Full Information Before Tour

Reviewed by: DAT

Lanai is worth seeing (once) and we are glad we went. We chose this tour because we didn't just want to go snorkling or sit on a beach but wanted to see the whole island. We did not want to drive ourselves and wanted some history. Unfortunately, the tour company booked our full day tour along with another couple's half day tour. Our guide Tony is a really nice person, but as he said, they only call him when the other regular guides are all booked. He struggled to make two different tours work together, and we were the losers. We simply drove to Garden of the Gods, had a brief moment outside the GM four wheel drive suburban (in which my wife and I sat in the far rear seats for the time with the other couple, which was pretty uncomfortable), and then drove back and out to Shipwreck beach. Then Tony dropped us off to buy our lunch in Lanai City while he drove the other couple to the ferry to conclude their half day tour. He picked us up at 1:30 in Lanai City, and we drove around about every street which was sociologically interesting but not much about seeing the island. Then we drove to the old pineapple loading harbor, and down to the residential area around the Four Seasons at the beach. We asked to terminate the tour early and took an earlier ferry back. Tony repeated most of his morning stories in the afternoon. He is a nice guy, a safe driver and grew up on the island so had many personal stories, but not a lot of history outside the personal stories.

Do not take this tour unless the company confirms that they are not booking two conflicting tours together. Try to get the other guides.

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

fulfilled our expectations

Reviewed by: rob

We have been on similar tours before so had some idea of what to expect. The boat was a little tricky to find (to the left of the main harbor entrance).
The crew were excellent, very professional, friendly and organised. They had a lifeguard in the water for the snorkeling, which makes this a great choice for families.
The snorkeling spots were very busy but we saw lots of great fish at Molokini, and we saw 4 turtles at turtle town.
The food was very simple, but they have a lot of people to feed so it needs to be.

Maui Gold Pineapple Plantation Farm Tour & Tasting with FREE Pineapple Gift Box

Favorite tour on Maui

Reviewed by: Mauilover

I booked this tour upon recommendation from friends and family. I had moderate expectations as I am not a "walk through the farm" type of girl, but this was a favorite of my boyfriend and myself. First of, you are driven for the majority of the movement through the farm, so sandals were fine to walk in. Our tour guide Brett was very informative and explained everything about pineapple farming from planting to harvesting and distribution, and how to pick the perfect pineapple. We tasted pineapple at three separate stages and picked a pineapple straight from the stalk. You receive a free pineapple packed and ready for transport back to the states at the end of the tour and let me tell you these pineapples were HUGE. We saw the same two pack that we received for free at the airport for sale for $30. Brett also taught us how to use the pineapples we received to grow our own pineapples at home. Definitely a must go to tour if you are on Maui.

Drums of the Pacific Luau with Open Bar at Kaanapali Hyatt Regency Maui

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Sue & James Nivens

I am VERY disappointed with this Luau. I have attended many luau's in Maui and this was my second time to this one and I will never book again. The guys performance was way better than the girls. The luau seemed shorter than the last time and of all luau's I have attended. We paid ALL this money for 3 of us. It was NOT cheap. 200.00+ dollars is quite much when your expecting a good show. Every luau I have been to, we were able totake pic with. This time NO1 did. All the dancers left. We paid for our "luau" picture and our 7 yr old son was soo excited because he thought he was going to be able to take pictures. We went to Maui on our honeymoon last yr and attended The Royal Lahaina and it was so great. It felt like how a luau should. The experience was amazing. We took pic with the performers and our son saw the pictures and wanted to do everything we did. I attended the drums of the pacific in 2007 with my late brother who recently passed and it was great. I wanted to go to this one to reminice about my time with my brother. Needless to say I hate posting a bad review because I love Hawaii. My sons first time in Hawaii and THIS was suppose to be the highlight. :/

Maui Gold Pineapple Plantation Farm Tour & Tasting with FREE Pineapple Gift Box

Maui Gold Pineapple Express Tour 10/21/14

Reviewed by: Ramona Marcelo

The Maui Gold Pineapple Express tour was amazing. My husband and I went there and had a great time. We enjoyed the tour very much, especially the part where we were brought to the processing plant. It was very fascinating to see the quality control, packing, and shipping from start to finish. We took a lot of pictures of the exciting tour of the pineapple fields too. It was eye-opening to see the process for how pineapples are grown, especially since my family is so used to picking them up from the supermarket. It was also different eating them fresh from the field--an experience I'd recommend to just about everyone. We really enjoyed being given pineapples to bring home to California as well, one of my favorite souvenirs from my trip. We ended up sharing it with the whole family and some friends, and it was definitely the juiciest and sweetest pineapple we've ever had.

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞＋星空観測ツアー　1名～参加OK！グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり＜午後／日本語ガイド＞

It has started to rain again. また雨になってしまいました。

Reviewed by: fukami

A few years ago, I participated in a tour with another company and it rained, so I joined this time for a revenge tour, but it rained again. I was added to the list for a free next time, and I thought the response was good compared to the previous tour with the other company. I planned to try again the next day, but I received a call just before noon that day saying there was about a 50% chance of rain, so I decided to save the revenge for my next trip. As a result, I was able to enjoy a nice dinner in Lahaina while watching a beautiful sunset. Thanks to the follow-up communication, I was able to spend a meaningful time. In the future, I think it would be good if you could inform us of the rain forecast based on the latest local weather when participating in the tour, so we can be mentally prepared. It seems that Maui's climate has also been unstable in recent years, so I plan to try again during the high probability of sunny weather from May to August.

数年前、他社のツアーに参加して雨だったのでリベンジでの参加でしたがまた雨になってしまいました。次回無料のリストにのせてもらい、前回の他社のツアーに比較して、良い対応と思いました。翌日にリベンジする予定でしたが、当日昼前に連絡があり、また雨の可能性が半分くらいあるということでしたので、リベンジは次回の旅行で期すこととしました。そのためその日はラハイナで夕食をとりながら綺麗な夕日を見ることができました。フォローの連絡のおかげで有意義な時間を過ごせました。今後はツアー参加時に、雨の見込みを直近の現地天気からお知らせいただければ心の準備ができ良いと思います。近年マウイの気候も安定していないようなので、次回は晴れの確率の高い５－８月にリベンジしようと思います。

Pineapple heaven

My wife and I were delighted to find out that there was indeed a pineapple plant with a tour on maui. We signed up and had no issues finding where we needed to go (a short drive from the airport pretty much). Our tour guide lined us out on a few items we needed to sign and we were off. We started off going right to the plant where we learned a ton of stuff about pineapples (did you know that the fruit is actually native to Brazil?). Really neat to see the whole process from picking to packing. They even give you two free packed pineapples ready to go through the airport! After the plant you go out to the fields to see the different stages of pineapple growth. You'll even get to sample some of the freshest possible pineapple you'll ever eat. Really awesome experience. Highly highly recommended.

The breathtaking sunset and the starry sky. 感激の夕日と満天の星空

Reviewed by: yui

I chose this tour because the sunset is more beautifully crimson than the sunrise, and it was simply easier to participate at that time of day.

On the day of the tour, I was worried that it might be canceled due to the effects of the hurricane, as the view of Haleakalā from the hotel was covered in clouds. However, my concerns were unfounded. As we began to ascend the mountain by car, the clouds became a thing of the past around 2000 meters, and above that, we were greeted with a clear blue sky.

By the time we welcomed the bright red sunset, the temperature dropped significantly, and I put on the down coat provided by the tour to enjoy the breathtaking view.

At this point, the other tour guests had disappeared, leaving just us at the summit. The second part of the tour was about to begin. Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, had advised us not to look at the sky, and I understood why. The night sky was filled with stars, the Milky Way, and shooting stars welcoming us. We observed the Andromeda Galaxy, red stars, binary stars, and more through a high-resolution telescope. Mr. Yamauchi's clear explanations sparked a sense of curiosity in me that I hadn't felt since childhood.

I climbed Haleakalā during the day 15 years ago, but I was introduced to a completely different Haleakalā by Mr. Yamauchi, and I was very satisfied.

朝日よりも夕日の方が茜色がきれいということ、そして単に時間帯が参加しやすかったことからこのツアーを選びました。

当日はハリケーンの影響で、ホテルからハレアカラ山を望むと雲で覆われ、ツアーが中止になるのではないかと心配しましたが危惧に終わりました。車で山を登り始めると、2000mを超えるあたりから雲は下界のものとなり、それ以高では碧空に変わりました。

やがて真っ赤な夕日を迎える頃になると、気温も一段と下がりツアーで準備してくれたダウンのコートを着込んで、絶景を楽しみました。

この頃になると、他のツアー客はいなくなり山頂には我々だけが取り残されました。
いよいよツアー第２部の始まりです。
ガイドの山内さんには空を見ないように注意されていましたが、その意味が判りました。
夜空には満天の星と天の川、そして流れ星が我々を迎えてくれています。高解像度の望遠鏡でアンドロメダ星雲や赤星、連星などなどを観測。山内さんの判りやすい説明もあり、子供の頃の好奇心がこの年になって芽生えました。

１５年も前に昼のハレアカラ山に登りましたが、その時とは全く違うハレアカラ山をガイドの山内さんに紹介して頂き、大満足でした。

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Reviewed by: Allie

I booked the west side snorkel safari online and was initially booked into the wrong time slot due to a glitch in the system. This wasn't a big deal. They were very helpful in sorting this out and assured me that they were working on fixing the glitch. The morning of the tour however, I took a taxi out to the meeting point only to be told that the trip was canceled due to high winds (it seemed calm to me, but I'm not an experienced ocean kayaker) $55 later I was back where I started. To be fair, they did try to phone me, but I did not have my phone turned on because I was trying to avoid roaming charges. I do not feel that one attempted phone call is sufficient customer service. I would have appreciated an email (this is how I had been communicating with the company from the beginning). I would suggest that anyone booking a similar tour contact the office before you leave in the morning to confirm that it will proceed as scheduled.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

It depends on the weather... 天候次第な面も・・・

Reviewed by: tarikky

We participated as a couple. Thanks to the care of the Japanese staff member Miho, we had no trouble at all in Maui, where we hardly speak Japanese. The other staff members primarily spoke English, but they were very friendly and considerate, making a genuine effort to ensure we had a good time, which was quite impressive.

On the day of our participation, we were blessed with clear skies, and both snorkeling and snuba at Molokini Island had excellent visibility. I highly recommend snuba, especially for those who have no issues with equalizing while diving.

However, regarding the next point for sea turtle observation, it can be canceled if visibility is insufficient due to weather conditions up to the day before (as mentioned in the description). Unfortunately, we had to miss that part, and we ended up snorkeling at almost the same spot as before.

There were two other groups of Japanese guests besides us, but as expected, we didn't interact much with them. Instead, we became quite friendly with the foreign guests, who were very approachable.

In summary, it was a very enjoyable experience, and above all, the cheeseburger for lunch was exquisite.

夫婦で参加しました。
日本語スタッフのみほさんのケアもあって、日本語のほぼ使えないマウイでも当日困るようなことはまったくないでしょう。
基本みほさん以外のスタッフさんは英語オンリーですが、非常に気さくで、こちらを気遣ってくれますし（仕事なので当然かもしれませんが）こちらを楽しませようと努力してくれているのはかなりの好感が持てます。

参加当日は晴天に恵まれ、モロキニ島でのシュノーケル、スヌーバ共に最高の透明度でした。
とくにスヌーバは潜水時の耳抜きが問題ない方には是非にもとおススメするくらいです。

ただ、モロキニ島の次のポイント（海亀観察ができるらしい）については、前日までの天候次第で透明度が足りなかったりすると中止です。（説明文にもある）
私たちもそちらは残念ながら中止になってしまい、最初とほぼ同じポイントでのシュノーケルタイムになりました。

私たち以外の日本人客はほかに2組ありましたが、当然といえば当然か、そのかたがたとはあまり絡みませんでした。むしろ外国人の方々が非常に気さくで、そちらと仲良くなったくらいです。

総括としては、非常に楽しい思い出になりましたし、なによりお昼のチーズバーガーは絶品です。

The ultimate luxury tour. この上ない贅沢ツアー

Reviewed by: 母娘２人旅

I was looking for a stargazing tour on Maui Island during our cruise, as it was my mother's long-time wish. Later, I realized that our guide, Mr. Yamapi, was featured in the "Rurubu" travel guide! The pick-up service to Kahului Harbor was very helpful.

We met up with six other guests at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Everyone was very friendly and considerate, making it a truly enjoyable tour. The entire journey was by car, taking us to the summit at 3,055 meters, which was very convenient. Although the base was covered in clouds, we were assured that there was no need to worry since we would be above them.

At one point, when we were driving through an area with eucalyptus trees, the guide let in some fresh air, and I was enchanted by the natural aroma experience. During the sunset at the crater, our guide, who has summited 2,700 times, timed it perfectly for us to see the sun setting! I think it took less than a minute for the sun to disappear.

Along the way, I experienced moments of a soundless world, feeling sounds in my inner ear. It was a luxurious moment that you can't experience in daily life. When we reached the summit at 3,055 meters, I thought I might feel the altitude more, but since we had gotten out of the car several times at 1,000 and 2,000 meters, I was completely fine.

For stargazing, there were a few clouds obstructing the view, but our guide searched for spots where the clouds had cleared. Since we had plenty of time for observation, by the end, we could see about 70-80% of the stars. Mr. Yamapi was very knowledgeable about the stars and provided two types of telescopes, which made my mother very satisfied as well!

We all sat on the provided chairs with warm tea and were able to observe the starry sky in 360 degrees. I am truly grateful for such a luxurious experience. And Mr. Yamapi's stories were fantastic! He mentioned that he wants to guide 3,055 times, so I hope to repeat this experience before then!

Hana by Air & Land - Helicopter Flight & Semi-Private Sightseeing Tour Combo

Wow! What a Day!

Reviewed by: Ozzie's Mom

I will be forever grateful that a friend talked me out of renting a car and driving the Road to Hana. We are not spring chickens and weren't sure how we would like a helicopter trip to Hana with a road trip back to the cruise port in a 6-passenger luxury van. We knew we didn't want to do a 12-hour bus ride (cruise excursion) but we didn't want to miss Hana.

THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT!

We thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter flight to Hana and were able to see from the air the majesty of the island which would not have been as apparent from the land. Then we had a delicious lunch on the beach (provided by our tour guide, Surfer Sue) and experienced in all it's surface beauty, the road to Hana. There is no way we could have enjoyed this nearly as much had we driven both directions and certainly not at all had I decided to drive it myself. Sue taught me more about Hawaiian native flora and fauna than I would have learned in weeks on my own.

Because we wanted to make so many photo stops on the way back to port, we returned later than expected. Sue was kind enough to call the folks at Blue Hawaii Helicopters and ask them to send some articles we had purchased that morning and left behind at the shop for convenience sake, to us at the cruise port. No worries!

We could not have enjoyed this excursion any better than we did! Above and beyond treatment at every turn. Highly recommend for all ages.
