A must do when visiting Maui. Try to avoid taking kids the will get seasick. You will become great at snorkeling after the cruise. The crew was awesome, the captain told stories and gave us a bit of history is the islands. The breakfast given was just right, it was light for the long ride to find a good spot to snorkel (about one hour and fifteen minutes), I didn't get to try much of the lunch because I got a little seasick but what I tried was good. We were taken to rough waters to snorkel first then we were taken to a very calm beach with an old dock were we spotted a big turtle that when below most of us snorkeling. To be able to enjoy to the fullest you must drink you any type of anti-seasick drugs.

My sister and I joined this activity because we thought that snorkeling is the must do thing in Hawaii. On the boat, you didn’t feel crowded and every group had their own table. However, the day was bad weather. The captain took us to three different places for snorkeling. There were only few fish and no any dolphins. Moreover, some people were stung by jellyfish. Fortunately, the captain had prepared vinegar on the boat. The crews were very nice. Because my sister is not good at swimming, one of the crew accompanied her during snorkeling. We really appreciated it when he offered to help. And the food provided on the boat is simple but good. I loved fruits. Besides breakfast and lunch, they also provided drinks and snacks. In spite of the bad weather, seeing and enjoying Lanai on the boat were wonderful. There was also a Hawaiian woman telling Hawaiian story during the tour. This tour is worth it and is suitable for everyone.

Mario, Becka (sp?), and Cap'n Linda did an outstanding job of making us feel welcomed and appreciated. They (the crew) were friendly, courteous, and genuinely happy to have us on board. I have no other sunset cruise in Maui with which to compare this event, however, I can recommend this cruise to you all without reservation. (Another couple we met on board had been on Teralani before, and they said Queen's Treasure was much better...for what it's worth). The food was good...hors d'ouervres, but substantial enough to fill. Meatballs, tuna roll-ups, cheeses, crackers, fruit, veggies, dips, and some deli meat. Drinks were sufficient for the evening. I recommend NOT paying extra for the premium bar, 3 drinks are plenty (even for the seasoned professional, such as I), and even so, they weren't keeping track of those who did, or didn't pay for the premium package, so drink at will! The boat has a max occupancy of 49, we were scheduled with that many, but only 43 showed up. Plenty of room, drinks, and food! Mahalo!!

I didn't expect there to be so few types of fish. I was hoping for many more varieties, so I was a bit disappointed. I was able to see a sea turtle, but it seems that some other guests weren't able to see it. There were few Japanese people. Given the content and the amount of fish, I won't be returning.
魚の種類があんなに少ないとは思いませんでした。
もっとたくさんの種類がいると勝手に期待していたので
拍子抜け。
ウミガメを見ることができましたが他のお客さんは見れなかった人も居る様子。日本人は少ないです。あの内容であの程度の魚の量ならリピートはありません。

I finally realized my long-time dream of participating in this tour with my family to see the magnificent scenery together! I had looked at guidebooks and watched broadcasts on BS television, but the views I saw in person were beyond words. I was also impressed by our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, and his high level of professionalism in taking care of participants' health and considering restroom breaks while guiding us through the 3000-meter mountains. The majestic views of Haleakalā and Mr. Yamauchi's stories resonated deeply with our family, and I’m truly glad we participated. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for the wonderful tour!
このツアーに家族で参加して雄大な景色をみんなで見たい!という長年の私の夢がついに叶いました。私はガイドブックやBSテレビの放映を見ていきましたが、実際に見る景色は言葉に表せないほど素晴らしいものでした。またガイドのヤマウチさんの、参加者への体調の気配りやお手洗いの配慮などが3000m級の山を案内するプロとしての意識の高さに感心させられました。ハレアカラ山の雄大な景色とヤマウチさんのお話は私たち家族の心に大きく響くものがあり、本当に参加して良かったです。ヤマウチさん素敵なツアーありがとうございました。

We read it was a good idea to do this at the beginning of your trip so you're still on your 'time' due to the early morning time frame. Even though you are going to nice warm Maui, it is very cold up there early morning. You are in the elements for about an hour, bring a jacket, blanket, beach towel, something... It's easier to enjoy the spectacular sunrise if you're not freezing.
Glen was a fun tour guide. We enjoyed our morning with Glen.
The view at breakfast was beautiful.

Went to maui for honeymoon and this was defiantly our highlight and we had a great time. This was my first time doing snorkeling and i don't even know how to swim so i was not comfortable initially but this staff helped me with everything, explained me how to snorkel safely and i had no issues. Staff was really nice and helpful. Food was also great as well. They served breakfast when we started in morning and then we had bbq lunch. After snorkeling for couple of hours, they started BBQ and we had fresh hot dogs, cheese burgers, chicken burger and much more. Savor a delicious and freshly prepared BBQ lunch featuring big juicy hamburgers, chicken breasts and plump hotdogs with all fixins was amazing. After lunch, drinks bar was open and we all had complementary drinks. I was not expecting this much fun but now i am glad that i did this activity. This is must do activity in Maui and every dollar is worth spending on this activity. The price was very affordable since everything is expensive in Hawaii this was relief. I would highly recommend to get this deal. The Lahaina curse company and her crew are family oriented and provided safe, fun adventure.

I can't forget the sunrise I saw at Mauna Kea on the Big Island, so I joined a sunrise tour at Haleakalā as well. Even though my English isn't great, we managed just fine, so you will too. The sunrise was truly magnificent. After the sun rose, Haleakalā felt so otherworldly, almost magical and mysterious. I was also very happy that they chanted as the sun rose.

Due to environmental protection measures at Haleakalā, there is now a limit on the number of people who can climb Haleakalā, and sunrise tours have been canceled everywhere. The only option we found was Veltra. Since it was an English tour, we were very anxious as we hardly understood English, but we thought that no matter what was explained, the view would remain the same, so we decided to participate.
After arriving on Maui, we asked the Japanese staff at the hotel to help us with phone contact. There were about 20 participants, including four Japanese, including us. The guide and driver explained (probably) the history of Haleakalā and the types of plants in English as we headed to the summit. When we arrived, the starry sky was breathtaking, and we could see shooting stars. We were told we could rest on the bus since there was still time until sunrise, but the beauty of the scenery and the increasing number of tourists made us wait outside in the cold for about two hours to secure a good spot for photos. Unfortunately, the weather was such that the sunrise was hidden behind clouds, although we could clearly see flashes of lightning illuminating the clouds. However, the red light peeking through the clouds was beautiful in its own way. Even though we couldn't understand English, the scenery was amazing! We were very moved.
However, as we had anticipated, it was very cold at the summit, and the bus was not very cool for Hawaii. We brought so many warm clothes that they took up a quarter of our suitcase, but we were still extremely cold and couldn't stop shivering. Some people around us were just wrapped in hotel bath towels. I recommend that participants bring as much warm clothing as possible.
ハレアカラの環境保護から、ハレアカラに登る人数に上限ができ、サンライズのツアーがどこも中止になっている中、唯一見つけたのがベルトラでした。英語でのツアーということで、英語がほとんど分からない私たちはとても不安でしたが、何を説明されようと見える景色は変わらないだろうと思い、参加しました。
マウイ島に到着してからの電話連絡はホテルの日本人スタッフにお願いをしました。
参加者は20名ほど。うち日本人は私たち含め4人でした。ガイド兼運転手は、もちろん英語で(おそらく)ハレアカラの歴史や植物の種類などを説明しながら山頂まで向かいます。到着した時は満天の星空が広がり、流れ星も見えました。(おそらく)サンライズまで時間があるからバスで休んでてもいいよと言われましたが、あまりのキレイさと、どんどん観光客が増えていき写真撮影の場所取りのため、かれこれ2時間寒空の下、日の出を待ちました。残念ながら雲が多く、どこがで光る稲妻がピカッと雲の中からはっきり見えるくらいの天候だったため、朝日は雲に隠れていましたが、雲から覗く赤い光はそれはそれでとてもキレイでした。英語は分からなくても、やっぱり景色はすごい!とても感動しました。
ただ、覚悟はしていたものの、頂上はとても寒く、それでいてバスの中はハワイにしてはあまりクーラーが効かず…。スーツケースの4分の1を防寒着が占めるほど、たくさん持っていきましたが、それでもすごく寒く震えが止まりませんでした。周りの海外の人は、ホテルのバスタオルを巻いているだけの人もいましたが…。参加される方は、これでもかというくらい防寒着を持っていくことをお薦めします。

It seemed as though the staff was just trying to rush through their shift so they could get home. It was about 90 degrees outside and the staff were all dressed in formal wear and sweating like crazy. Considering the fact that the condition/cleanliness of the boat was mediocre at best and that the chairs were cheap plastic patio chairs bolted to the upper deck, I think the staff would have been better suited in shorts and short sleeve shirts. Then, maybe they wouldn't have seemed so miserable and rushed to get done with their shift. Also, when my wife and I booked the dinner cruise, we weren't told we would be seated with another couple. I think we should have given the option of being charged less to sit with strangers. It definitely was not worth the nearly $200 for my wife and I.

My husband and I joined this tour because we wanted to enjoy the sea of Maui. We stayed at Kapalua and so we had to get up very early and take a taxi to the nearest pick-up hotel. But it well deserved. They offered continental breakfast as soon as we were on board. It was good. Thanks to such a good weather, we enjoy boating on that day. In fact, it rained so heavily a couple of days ago that it was pretty difficult to find a good spot for snorkeling but the crew successfully did. The water was very clear, which was important for snorkeling. After we snorkeled, we returned to the boat to have a big BBQ lunch. It was also great. Enough good food and many kinds of drinks. On the way back to Maui, we saw a green turtle swimming. In addition, unexpectedly, we met a lot of dolphins! I have never seen so many dolphins before. They swam jumping and some of them came close to the boat. We were so excited. Then the crew brought us to another snorkeling spot near Lahaina Harbor before we got off the boat. The crew were all friendly and helpful. I would like to join this tour again with my children and grandchildren next time.

CONS: It was a super hot and muggy day. We were all pouring sweat and looking forward to finally getting some A/C but then we were told that we would all be on the roof top. While I appreciate the view, we just started meting. We understand that the crew can not control the weather but why could we have not had the option to be on a lower level on days like that? We could see all of our salads sitting in a warm room and it was wilted by the time it came out. Some of the staff looked unclean in terms of their uniform. Which concerns me about what the kitchen looks like. The food was terrible, the chicken and Mahi Mahi was as dry as could be and neither my husband or myself could eat the fish. I thought that there was going to be dancing but there was no room unless you went below and just made your own dance floor. The worst part was that you have to sit with people at your table that you do not know. We were not well matched up. This was our honeymoon and we did not expect that we would have to curb our conversation or affection to make the much older couple feel comfortable. We paid way too much money for this and we feel we definitely did not come even close to getting our monies worth. We did like how they served us a Mai Tai right away when we sat down but would have preferred to pick what we wanted and not have that count as one of our 3 drinks. We found it tacky that we were given a check at the end just to remind us to pay gratuity.
PROS: Our waiter was friendly and made sure we had what we needed. The bartender was great, good personality and drinks. The live music was nice and the singer had a great voice. The style was perfect for the cruise. The view was wonderful while we were cruising and it did cool down once we were out to see.

This was my husband and I's first trip to Maui. We knew we wanted to do something adventurous but also relaxing for an excursion. The snorkel trip to Lanai was just what we were looking for. We ended up snorkeling at two different areas that day; first, at sweetheart point on Lanai, and then another spot around Lahaina on Maui. We would have stayed longer at sweetheart since it is more secluded, but there were just a couple of passengers who had spotted jellyfish in the water, so the captain made the decision to move elsewhere. As we were traveling back to Maui, we were lucky enough to see not just one, but two pods of Hawaiian spinner Dolphins. This was definitely the best part of the trip that day. They were very active dolphins and would swim along side the boat for minutes at a time. After we made it to the second snorkeling spot on Maui, a few passengers spotted a sea turtle swimming near an old abanded pier. The crew was also very kind and helpful and made sure that our safety was their priority. Food was great as well. We hope to do this excursion again someday and would recommend it to all!

The staff works quick and efficient. They provide water up there at the activity as well which was amazing! Ice cold water bottles in coolers. Super convenient and necessary on a hot summer day in Ausguts. The staff added to our enjoyment and fun as well! They took as many pictures as we wanted and answered all of our questions. They shared their experience living in Maui Hawaii and their experience of working on the field and their travels, so super friendly. Zip lining was amazing. We did it as the sun set. So we got to dry up from the Aqua ball and Zipline across the field. They told us how to turn over and let loose. It was different then all my experiences where I just went across the rope holding on traditionally. The staff moved fast and I felt safe and secure with them as I landed on the landing board. If you ever went zip lining before, you want someone strong and secure to catch you. We got to do this Zipline 4 times each! I had my friend stand in the field and get amazing pics from so close. After we were done we changed and saw the sun setting on their field. We wanted to see the sun from a higher vantage point so we asked them where to go. They told us to just drive up the road.
We had just enough time to drive right up the road after and continued watching one of the most beautiful and serene sunset.
All in all this was one of my highlights of my trip! I will never forget it!! I would definitely recommend this to all my friends or anyone reading this review.
Thanks again guys!!

I booked the 430 appointment so I had a relaxing day in the morning and plenty of time to get to the plantation without being rushed. I called them and they gave me great driving directions to my phone via text which was extremely helpful. So the drive up and the plantation was beautiful. We got to see another side of Maui then where were staying at. We were welcomed in when we came by the owner of the field. Then we went up to a little cottage and we got to taste many different kinds of delicious home grown dragon fruit and we were offered cold drinks by the staff. The staff there were so sweet and helpful and accommodating! They have bathrooms and showers to change! Jennifer took us thru the fields while our belongings were taken up in a golf cart. On our way up Jennifer explained to us how they grow the dragon fruit. It was fascinating to learn how much work is involved and to hear it from her who does the work first hand . It was really interesting and informative. In addition there are bananas and pineapple to see. The Aqua ball was so fun! I'm always looking for new and adventurous activities to try and this was something I've never done. It is a huge blown up ball with an opening for a person to jump inside! It cooled us down and we had so much fun! You get in one person a time and they fill the ball up with cold water. You are then securely closed and are pushed down the hill. I was with some friends so we had fun pushing each other down. The staff waits for you at the bottom, takes you out safely and you get a gold ride back up the hill to complete the Aqua ball activity again.

The entire crew on the "Pride of Maui" was wonderful and caring. The trip was awesome. The weather was in our favor. We went out to the Molokini crater and snorkeled while there my son and I tried snuba for the first time and loved it. The guide for that was very knowledgeable and helpful. The videographer was very concerned to get everyone's picture. We moved to a different location to see the turtles and again the crew was concerned that everyone got to see a few of them. The food on board was also enjoyable. The only downside for me and my kids was that it didn't last longer.
