We really enjoyed the Maui Prince Luau. This was one of the highlights of our trip. The buffet was excellent, and offered lots of choices, including a nice selection of desserts. The entertainment was exceptional. From the host, to the dancers, to the band, it was all very good, and we'd definitely recomment it to others. We paid extra for premium seating, and it was definitley worth the extra money to be up front.

This is my second time participating in the Star Tour, and it was incredibly fun again.
The coconut candy I bought at the shop we stopped at was delicious and received great reviews as a souvenir. Of course, the Krispy Kreme donuts and GURIGURI ice were also really tasty.
I would like to rely on you again next time. Thank you very much.

I participated on January 4th. This is my second time being taken care of by Mr. Yamauchi.
The sunset at the summit never gets old, and this time it became another amazing memory. Just as Mr. Yamauchi said, "When you talk about shooting stars, they appear," we were able to see beautiful shooting stars, making it a very satisfying tour.
I have participated in various tours in Hawaii, but I believe Mr. Yamauchi's tour is so thoughtfully organized that anyone can enjoy it. I highly recommend it. I definitely want to be taken care of by him again next time.
1/4に参加致しました~。
山内さんにお世話になるのは二回目です。
山頂でのサンセットは見飽きることがなくて

Thank you for always coming to Maui and participating.
When looking through the telescope, we get more chances to see shooting stars.
The starry sky looks like a kaleidoscope, almost like looking at a photo collection.
Let's have a toast with tea together at the summit again! (laughs)
いつもマウイに来ていただくと参加して頂き感謝です。

I went during the New Year. Despite that, we were the only two Japanese people there. There were no staff who spoke Japanese, but one staff member, who was married to a Japanese person, cheerfully talked to us, and the other staff members were very attentive since we were the only Japanese guests.
It was whale watching season, so during the cruise, the staff would spot whales and let us know. On the way to Lanai Island, they gathered the participants once to give an overview, during which they mentioned that there were still seven spots available for dolphin watching. Since it was in English, I wasn't very confident in my listening skills, and while I hesitated, the spots filled up. Later, when I asked someone who participated, they said it was very cute, and I regretted not signing up.
After returning to Japan and reviewing this page again, it seems that the upgrade "Blue Water Adventure Rafting" was what they were referring to.
On Lanai Island, all the kids were enjoying snorkeling. We found it a bit cold, so we didn't go into the water, but we enjoyed relaxing in the shade and exploring the rocky areas to find small fish.
The food was also very delicious, and they served yakisoba! I think it's a tour where you can experience a variety of things all at once.
お正月に行きました。にも関わらず、日本人は私たち2人だけでした。日本語を話すスタッフはいませんでしたが、奥さんが日本人だというスタッフが一人いて陽気に話しかけてくれたり、他のスタッフも日本人が私たちだけということもあってとても気にかけてくださいました。
ホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので、クルーズの途中にスタッフがクジラを見つけては教えてくれました。
ラナイ島へ向かう途中に、一度参加者を集めてひととおり説明をしてくれたのですが、その中でドルフィンウォッチングの席がまだ7人分空いているといったようなことを言っていました。英語だったのであまり聞き取りに自信がなくて尻込みしているうちに定員オーバーになってしまいました。あとで参加した人に聞いたら、とても可愛かったそうで、思い切って申し込めばよかったと後悔しました。
日本に帰ってきてこのページを再度見直したら、アップグレードの「ブルー・ウォーター・アドベンチャー・ラフティング」というのがそれだったようです。
ラナイ島では子供たちはみんなシュノーケルをして楽しんでいました。私たちはちょっと寒かったので海には入りませんでしたが、木陰でのんびりしたり、岩場を散策して小さな魚を見つけたりして楽しみました。
食事もとてもおいしくて、やきそばも出ました!
一度にいろんなことが体験できるツアーだと思います。

Our guide Kaileo was a true local who whole-heartedly enjoyed sharing his ocean with us. He was extremely knowledgable and went beyond what other 'mass market' tour companies offer. He lead out our small group and took the time to educate us about the reefs and ocean bottom, showing us turtles, octopus, starfish, eels and countless fish. (allowing us to even hold the octopus and starfish if we so desired!) I'd certainly go back again when in Maui and would reccomend this trip to anyone who is comfortable with the open ocean. Mahalo!

On November 5th, we participated as a newlywed couple. Originally, we were scheduled to join on the 4th, but there was unusually heavy rain. However, the person in charge contacted us in the morning and said it would depend on the weather the next day. We were anxious about the possibility of cancellation, but despite the heavy rain in Oahu, miraculously, Maui had clear skies, and we were able to participate on the 5th.
The tour had a total of three participants, including one other participant. On the way to Haleakalā, we were taken to have a snack and made some stops along the way, which eased our nerves as we headed up the mountain. The weather that day wasn't great, and we couldn't see the sunset.
As for the starry sky, we patiently waited while enjoying our meal for the clouds to clear, and finally, we were able to see a 360-degree view of a starry sky like we had never seen before! The stories shared were fascinating, and it was truly a heart-clearing experience. I felt it would be great for students and newlyweds.
I want to see it again. If you go to Maui, you absolutely must see it!!! Even now that we are back in Japan, we are both raving about it.
Thank you very much!
11月5日に新婚夫婦で参加させていただきました。
本当は4日に参加の予定が、珍しくも大雨。でも担当の方から朝掛けに連絡があり、翌日の天気次第でという対応をいただきました。キャンセルになる不安もありましたが、天気予報も当日のオアフも大雨の中、奇跡的にマウイは快晴になり、5日に参加ができました。
ツアーは他の参加者さん1名との計3名での参加でした。
ハレアカラに上るまえに、道中、おやつを食べに連れて行ってくれたり、寄り道をしながら、緊張もほぐれて、山へ。
この日は雲行きがあまりよくなく、夕日は見れませんでした。
星空のほうはというと、雲が抜けてくれるのをじっくりとご飯を食べたりしてまっていて、遂に360度、見たことのない星空をみることができました!
お話も興味深いものがあり、本当に心が澄み渡るような体験でした。
学生の人や、新婚さんにおすすめだなぁと感じました。
また、見たいです。
マウイに行ったら、絶対に見たほうが良い!!!
と、日本に帰った今でも2人で絶賛しています。
ありがとうございました!
Using the mountaintop camera and satellite images, I can roughly predict the night weather, so if I know it's going to rain, I avoid climbing. I don't want to blame the weather, as I'm not a craftsman, haha. It's everyone's very precious time, after all.
On this day, we really persevered, didn't we? Never giving up is important, in everything. I'm looking forward to seeing you again in Maui!

The ferry to Lanai was great. The trip over in the morning was relatively smooth. Coming home, however, at 4:30 p.m., was a wild ride! Very choppy, huge swells, but actually a lot of fun! That is if you weren't sitting on the side of the boat that got drenched with each swell...A group of people sitting next to us said that you could have charged extra for the roller coaster ride! haha As we pulled into the harbor at Lahaina we were blessed with a gorgeous double rainbow!

On October 26, my wife and I participated together. After deciding to go to Maui, snorkeling at Molokini was the first thing we planned, and our expectations were quite high. However, the clarity of the water did not disappoint, and both my wife and I were very satisfied. There seemed to be slightly fewer fish, but that might depend on the season. We also added a snorkeling experience with snuba for an extra fee, which I highly recommend. We were allowed to do it for quite a long time, and we could even take photos and videos with our own underwater camera. Both my wife and I had experience with introductory diving, but the Japanese instructor provided detailed guidance, so even beginners should have no problem. It was so much fun that I became even more eager to obtain a diving license. Moving from Molokini to observe honu (turtles) while snorkeling was truly moving for me as a turtle lover. Since we could return to the hotel by early afternoon, I think it will be a fulfilling day with plenty of time left in the afternoon!
10月26日に嫁と二人で参加しました。マウイ島に行くと決めてから、モロキニ島シュノーケリングはまず最初に決めていたし、かなり期待値は高かったのですが、期待を裏切らない透明度で私も嫁も大満足でした。魚が若干少ない気もしましたが季節にもよるのかもしれません。それからスヌーバを追加料金で体験したのですが、これはぜひお勧めです。結構長い時間やらせてもらえたし、自分で持ち込んだ水中カメラやビデオでを撮影してもらえたりしました。私も嫁も体験ダイビングの経験があったのですが日本人のインストラクターが細かく教えてくれるので初心者の方でも問題ありません。とても楽しくて、ダイビングのライセンスを益々取得したくなりました。モロキニから移動してのホヌ(カメ)観察シュノーケリングもホヌ好きの私としては何とも感動的でした。昼過ぎにはホテルに戻れるので、午後もたっぷり使えて充実した一日になると思いますよ!

I flew directly into Maui but wanted to see Pearl Harbor. This tour was the perfect opportunity! They arranged the flight to O'ahu and a nice, small bus with large windows to transport the group through the day and deliver us back to the airport on time. Our guide was excellent and entertaining! Be prepared for a long, full day but return with a complete experience of Pearl Harbor and a narrated bus ride through many sight of Honolulu. Lunch on Wikiki was a riot! The tour was interesting and well organized but allowed me the opportunity for some individual exploration and relaxation.

The staff on this boat is amazing! They provide a great breakfast with bagels, fruit, etc. They also have a BBQ lunch whereas most other boats only provide deli sandwiches. Unlimited drinks too. We only had about 80 people on our boat so it was really roomy (usual capacity is 120 or so). They also provide high quality underwater cameras (for a fee) and they document the trip in a video and photo CD which you can also buy. Definitely try snuba if your budget allows! The instructor is terrific! 5 stars all the way! Absolutely no complaints!

Good food, unlimited drinks, great entertainment (variety of dances both males and females), great host and service. The only complaint I have is that the seating was horrible. The seats were literally right up against each other so you don't have much arm or leg room. It was hard to get in and out of your seat because they were so close together. Overall wonderful experience! They even ask you if you want shaded or sun seating.

This website says that there is a 350 lb weight limit for tandom rides, but its actually much higher than that so my husband and I got to ride together which made the experience that much more enjoyable. It truely was like being a bird just floating in the air, and the views are amazing! Highly reccomended to anyone who is visiting the islands!

This was our first time trying Snuba and I don't know where to begin. Hawaii activities was great about following up with us to remind us of our event. The crew for our event was exceptional!!! We had snorkeled the day before with another charter that was good but hands down the crew on this boat was the best. As we boarded the boat they took our pictures and they had a separate film guy that took footage while we were on the boat and under the water in both places we dived. If you're not sure about scuba diving then try snuba first. It allows you the freedom of being under the water without wearing tanks. Good indicator if you're going to like scuba.

My wife and I enjoyed the Hana picnic very much. Our tour guide's name was Buzz, and he had a wealth of knowledge about Maui and Hawaiian history. He also knew the curves in the road to Hana very well, seemingly by heart, which enabled my wife and I to enjoy the scenery without having to deal with the stress of driving. He also stopped at several points of interest, including waterfalls, a flower garden in the rain forest, and two black sand beaches. Again, for us, the day was excellent and we will probably go again with my wife's parents, who can also appreciate history and culture in addition to the sightseeing.
For the purposes of this review, I will say that we spent a great deal of time listening to Buzz talk about the islands because the weather prevented us from swimming at certain points. Again, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this part because we like to learn about knew things and places, but one of our fellow riders got bored at times, and she made sure everyone on
