We participated in this for our honeymoon. My husband speaks English, but I thought it would be reassuring to have a Japanese guide, so we signed up. Our guide, Takako, was a wonderful person who helped us a lot, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. The sea was very beautiful, and we saw many fish. We were very satisfied to see three sea turtles up close, so much so that we felt like we were too close and had to back away from them. There was a slide from the boat into the sea, which was surprisingly fun, and I ended up going down it multiple times like a child! There was also a shower on board, and since the weather was nice, it wasn't cold at all. We had a delicious hamburger for lunch, and at the end, they served alcohol, which I thought was a great deal for the price.
新婚旅行で参加しました。
主人は英語が出来るのですが、日本人のガイドさんがいると安心と思い申し込みました。
ガイドのタカコさんがとても素敵な方で色々と助けて下さりとても安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
船は結構揺れるので酔い止めは飲んで行った方が良いです。
海はとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見られました。ウミガメもとても近くで3匹も見られてとても満足です。むしろ近すぎてウミガメから逃げるぐらいでした。船の上から海に落ちる滑り台があり意外と面白くて子どものように何度もやってしまいました!
上がるとシャワーもあり天気も良かったので寒くなかったです。
おいしいハンバーガーの昼食と最後にアルコールも出てこの値段は安いと思いました。

Although we did see many whales, nothing was comparable to the impressive photo's shown in add brochures. You well need a nice set of binoculars to see the detail in sales brochures. All we saw were distance tail and fin flops although some say they saw a baby come out of the water. We enjoyed just setting on the beach watching the whales in the evening as the actual tour....An underwhelmed Okie!

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best views from Haleakalā. The sunset over the sea of clouds and the starry sky were both so wonderful that words can't express them. More than anything, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was simply amazing! He talked to us during the drive, but his storytelling under the starry sky is something I will never forget. Of course, I want to see the views and the starry sky at Haleakalā again, but I also want to meet Mr. Yamauchi again. This tour makes you feel that way. There seem to be other tours of Haleakalā, but please consider joining this one with Maui All-Stars. It will cleanse your soul.
天気に恵まれ、ハレアカラからの最高の景色を見ることができました。
雲海の中の夕焼け、満点の星空、どちらも言葉で表現できないほど素晴らしかったです。
それよりも何よりも、ガイドの山内さんの対応がともかく素晴らしかった!。運転中も色々お話してくれるのですが、特に星空の下での山内さんの語りは一生忘れられません。
ハレアカラの景色、星空がもう一度見たいのはもちろんですが、また山内さんにお会いしたい。
そんな気にさせてくれるツアーです。
ハレアカラのツアーは他にもあるようですが、マウイ・オールスターズのこのツアーに是非参加してみて下さい。心が洗われます。

Awesome adventure, Larry was great! He knew so much about the area and the people that live there. Larry answered our questions as best as he could. He told us funny stories, history and folk lore about the plants and land formations as we came upon them. He was entertaining and we felt safe and comfortable with him at the wheel. We had quite a few times where we could get out and take pictures or explore the area at our many stops during the day. Our lunch was delicious. It was a great opportunity to get to know our fellow travelers while taking in the scenery.

Wayne was a great tourguide. He gave us a lot of useful information. There was just a sliver of sun to see on our morning and it was a bit chilly but the hot chocolate and watching how the sun comes up each morning was totally awesome. Despite having to get up at 2 a.m. it was an absolutely awesome tour.

We are a family of 5 adults and this was our first sunset dinner cruise and it exceeded all our expectations. Everything about the event was exceptional starting by the pickup at our hotel ,the check-in process,the photos,the reserved seating,the drinks,the food and the food servers. We were entertained by the singer/guitar player throughout which was very pleasant. The weather was perfect and we were thrilled when a humpback whale and her baby were breeching within our view. We are looking forward to a whale watching cruise on the Maui Princess in a few days as part of the special package deal. We highly recommend the Maui Princess.

If you want to sit back and relax and hear about the history of the island, then definitely book this tour! You get to experience the back side of the island, the hike is definitely worth the 1000ft climb, but it's not for beginners! It is muddy and there is rocks everywhere, so you definitely want good shoes and be able to hike uphill/steps for about 2 hours! The climb down only took about as hour but we didn't stop for any breaks! Tony was an awesome guide and if you are looking for a tour with waterfalls and history, do not hesitate to book this! Well worth the money!

Smooth and efficient pick up (@3:30 am! ) great drivers and a super tour guide/driver (windy roads all the way up to the 10,000 ft elevation summit) topped off with an amazing view and lifetime experience. A lovely light breakfast provided midpoint in the drive and a delicious breakfast after leaving the volcano (lots of choices) at a restaurant in a historic town. The guide was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history, culture, geogra and plants seen during the drive. If you can only do 1 tour in Maui, this is the one!

In the beginning, I was half resigned to the fact that I could only see the whales spouting from a distance, but then a mother and baby whale appeared quite close to us, which was moving. After that, we encountered a pod of about 7 to 9 whales. I was very satisfied. There was a naturalist on the boat who provided commentary through a microphone, which was enjoyable. I couldn't understand all the details, but when a whale appeared, they would say, "○ o'clock!" and "left! right!" so it was fine.
*At the time of booking, it was noted that there would be an "English guide," but when I arrived at the port for check-in, a Japanese guide was waiting for us. I was grateful for the prior explanation about why whales gather around Maui, their habits, and the best viewing points.*
前半は遠くで潮を吹いている姿がちらほら見られるくらいで、なかなか近くでは見られないものなんだなと半分あきらめていたところ、親子クジラがかなり近い距離に現れてくれて感動。その後も、7〜9頭ほどのクジラの群れに遭遇。大満足でした。船にはナチュラリストの方が乗船していて、ずっとマイクで解説をしてくれて楽しかったです。細かいところまでは理解できませんでしたが、クジラが現れると「○ o'clock!(○時の方向)!」「left! right!」と言ってくれるので、大丈夫です。
※予約時点では「英語ガイド」と記載されていましたが、当日チェックイン先の港へ行くと日本人のガイドさんが待っていてくれました。なぜクジラがマウイ島に集まるのか、クジラの習性、見るポイントなど事前に説明してくださってありがたかったです。

Our whale watching cruise was incredible. The staff was so kind and very informative. The crew knew the answers to all of the questions that guests were asking about the whales and their lifestyles.
Our departure location changed due to weather and the staff made sure to contact us multiple ways to ensure that we were aware of the changes. Very helpful!
The only disappointment is that we weren't served cinnamon rolls, which had been advertised as the menu for the morning departure.
