All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Maui

We LOVED this- a dive in a submarine to see the world below with a variety of fish including sharks and unicorn fish, even a sunken ship which is now a man-made reef. We even set down on the ocean floor at 130 feet beneath the surface. Everyone had their own viewing porthole. Recommended.

We were met at the harbor with plenty of aloha from our guide Joshua. He had an intimate knowledge of the island. From its long history to now, Joshua knew it all. He explained how the ecosystem has evolved through the years. We went to a great store and picked up some ono poke and a loaf of guava bread (cake) Joshua recommended. He dropped us off at an awesome snorkeling beach near the harbor. We spent the rest of our day on that beautiful beach snorkeling and enjoying our lunch. You’ve got to buy the guava bread! The ferry trip was easy and it was a perfect time to catch a nap. Well worth our time and hard earned money.

The luau was amazing. The food was excellent, the dancers were incredibly talented, and we had the best time. It was the best part of our vacation and is an experience that will last a lifetime. Must do if you’re in Maui!!

We took our three boys (ages 8, 6, and 3) on this during our first visit to Maui and overall, really enjoyed ourselves. The host was witty and funny, even if he's likely reusing the same jokes over and over. Understandably, it doesn't appear as colorful as you'd expect because of how the lighting changes things through the windows, but it was a really unique experience. I would say happy we did it once, but wouldn't do it again.

To be honest, the only thing that really disappointed me was knowing that the sunken ship was completely staged for the submarine tours. It didn't feel authentic.

Pros - we got to see a lot of marine life! Sharks included. And the boatride to/from the submarine was really nice and the kids were pretty blown away when the submarine first popped up.

Great job to the tour guides and staff!

Sunset cruise was outstanding. The crew was very attentive with drinks / food / pictures etc…. The food was very good and a good mix of items and everyone enjoyed. Highly recommend!
Mahalo!

Our family truly enjoyed this tour of Lanai’i. It was made even better as we had Josh as our tour guide and he did an amazing job as our host on this breathtaking island. He made us feel right at home and was always making sure we were fine and asked us for our input on what we wanted to do / see on the island! He drove us to some very special places and told us wonderful stories about the Hawaiian culture on Lanai’i as well as current information about the island and its current population. He also made a special stop at the cat Sanctuary and our daughters were absolutely thrilled about this! Thank you Josh for making this experience most enjoyable and memorable for our family!

The best snorkeling cruise at two different sites. Molokini and turtle town. Did not disappoint either sites. Lots of fish, sea life and coral at Molkini. Then on to turtle town which also did not disappoint. Turtles and fish abound. One turtle even came to surface for air while we watched. The staff is amazing, knowledge and very helpful. Pacific whale foundation cruises give back their profits to benefit the sea life. I highly recommend.

This tour is absolutely worth it! Yoshi is tour owner and tour guide with over 20 yrs experience! His tour is perfect for those who don’t want to drive up for their first time in the dark and windy road (like the other tour). Everything was provided as described- and the arctic jackets were a must have because it was freezing and windy! Loved the hot tea provided too! Yoshi is super knowledgeable about the stars and with his telescopes we were able to see the beautiful stars. Oh and the sunset was absolutely terrific too! Definitely worth taking this tour!

Staff was awesome. Food great. Sunset phenomenal. I highly recommend this cruise.

I highly recommend this as a staple in your trip to Hawaii! My fiancé and I had a fantastic time, the crew was awesome and nice and made the experience awesome! I am definitely going to do this on my next trip to Hawaii!! During this you get a nice ride in the water, and drinks the appetizers were delicious as well! Also they have an onboard photographer! She’s awesome and she makes you feel very comfortable when she takes your photos!

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I was a bit anxious about snorkeling after a long time. The crew consisted of the captain, one person in charge of the snorkeling equipment, and two out of three others who were Japanese. They were busy with operations, lending out equipment, preparing breakfast and lunch, providing drinks, and on top of that, they had to manage COVID safety measures, yet everyone was working diligently. (Even so, it seems the number of participants was lower compared to before COVID.)

Despite being so busy, everyone was kind and answered our questions, and they took great care of my sister, who was scared while diving. I was worried about whether the sunscreen I brought could be used, but it was available for purchase on the boat.

We were blessed with good weather, and thanks to that, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. I want to go again!

初めてのハワイ、久し振りのシュノーケリングでちょっぴり不安でした。
クルーは船長、スヌーバ担当の方がおひとり、あと三人のうちお二人が日本の方。運航、器具の貸し出し、朝食と昼食の準備、飲み物の提供、そもそもお忙しいのに、COVIDで感染対策も加わった訳で、みなさんくるくると働いておられました。（それでもCOVID前に比べれば参加人員が少ないとか。）
そんなでお忙しいのに、みなさん親切で優しく質問には答えて下さり、潜る時には怖がっている妹に付きっ切りでお世話をして下さいました。
持って行った日焼け止めが使えるか心配でしたが、船で購入が出来ました。
お天気にも恵まれ、お陰様でシュノーケリングを楽しめました。また行きたいです。

It was our first time snorkeling. Willow was very helpful and we felt comfortable getting into the water right away. My only disappointment was that we did not circle around Shipwreck Bay to see the tankers. Apparently its no longer part of the excursion. Overall I would recommend.

I’m so glad I found this booking company. On the Old Lahaina website it was sold out but Veltra was able to secure my reservation for two.
The Lu’au was a fantastic experience with a delicious 5 course meal, beautiful Ambiente and traditional dances, stories and music. The Old Lahaina Lu’au called me the day before to confirm dietary requirements and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend booking through Veltra to experience this unique tradition.

This is our first luau so not a lot to compare it to. Check in was super easy and the staff was great. The show
Overall the performers were talented and we appreciated that it was a show of different styles of traditional dance from several Pacific islands. The fire dance at the end was fantatic as well. It was hard to understand some of what was going on as the audio was not super clear and we were disappointed that our table was situated where we could only see 2/3 of the stage.
The meal
The appetizer and desert were really good, poke and Mac salad with pineapple and desert was coconut cream cake.What was not good was the main dish...dry mahi mahi, dry steak and dry pulled pork with rice in middle...really a big let-down.

All in all a mixed bag...great performers but a bit of a let down with the obstructed view and less than stellar meal.

This experience was an all around treat for my family and I. The pineapple here was some of the most fresh I have had in my life. They even had a sweet gift shop for souvenirs and take home goodies! I was incredibly happy with the tour and the day with my family. Mahalo Maui Pineapple Tour

This tour really showed you EVERYTHING. Take the back way with a guide, its your safest bet!!

Good vibes and excellent views. We learned about the surrounding islands, met some good people and had a really great time

Great time, kids love it, amazing view from boat ,
Very professional service

We boarded the ferry at the Lahaina main dock and took a very smooth 50 minute ride to the Lanai Harbor. We we greeted by our guide Josh. Josh was is an extremely passionate guide who explains current and past customs and cultures on this small but interesting island. He was very amenable to making stops in town to shop and to go to the world famous cat sanctuary for my wife! We had time to take in the beauty of the coastline as well as the mountain ranges. This guided tour is one of the best we’ve taken and Josh made all the difference. Thanks Josh!

Overall: fantastic. The whole family enjoyed the experience. Be prepared to get dirty. Ecologically friendly, good history. 30 year old and 24 year old had a great time driving. 8 year old talked about it for days, highly recommend.

Joshua was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. He gave us tons of information and history. He answered all of our questions. He made the tour about us and showed us what we wanted to see. We loved it!!

The ferry ride to Lanai from Maui was on time, very organized, and smooth sailing at 6:45 in the morning. We spent the day in Lanai, and definitely worth it! Lanai was beautiful, and people there were all very friendly. The ferry ride going back to Maui from Lanai again on time. We didn't have to check-in again as we already have our boarding pass when we took it in the morning. Ride was good, wth a few rough spots as it was 5:30 in the afternoon, but I felt very safe. Will definitely do it again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Crew on their toes the hole time. Customer service was outstanding. Boat and snorkeling were outstanding as well.
Thank you for a memorable trip. Will be back.

This experience was easy from start to finish - easy booking on line, staff courteous, informing, and efficient. The ride itself was very relaxing and the views were outstanding. So glad we decided to take this ferry to Lanai instead of flying over!

Top dinner cruise with professional approach tasty food and drinks with smiling service
Exceptional sitting for couples with privacy
Keep up the good work

Great crew!! Beautiful setting and scenery. Would do it again next time

Nice place. Clean restrooms. Buffett simple but food was good. Show was good but little drawn out.

Hospitality is to another level. Highly recommended. Special thanks to all the crew members for being so awesome. Our 3 year old had a blast!!!

If you are a beginner or lack swimming experience (non swimmers), you must try this.. they make it so easy..

I searched all the available tours for the sunrise at Haleakala and found this one wounded the best suited for me and I was not disappointed. We were able to be picked up from our hotel (Hyatt regency on the west side of the island) which was a huge help as me and my husband do not drive. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our driver was Chris who was a huge credit to the tour, was very welcoming. He took the time to ask different groups and couples where they were from and bonded with us. The summit was incredible, you couldn’t believe how high up you were! It does get cold up there but coming from England it was like being back home (so do dress up warm and change later for the towns). Although it was a cloudy sunrise, the experience was still amazing with all the knowledge Chris gave and offering to take amazing photos for us all. It may be a once in a lifetime experience but we still would want to do it all again.

The weather, music, food, drinks and service was great
