3-Hour Hana Rainforest Tour with Waterfall Swim & Easy Nature Walk - Hike Maui

Not a great experience

Reviewed by: Unhappy

First, once Veltra sells you something, they're done with you until they start pestering you for a review. The actual excursion was by Hike Hawaii. On the day of our trip, they called me at 6:30 AM to tell me that the kayak portion of our trip was cancelled due to high winds. We hadn't scheduled a kayak portion. So they called me at 6:30 AM because they don't have their crap together enough to know what their customers have signed up for. The excursion was basically a brief stroll through the woods, with a little fruit, a bottle of water, and a cookie provided. After paying hundreds of dollars for two of us, they actually cut the trip short and we got back 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

After that, Veltra has the nerve to send you email saying that they're expecting you're review. Not asking for one, just telling you how much they're looking forward to seeing it. There's no opt-out link for this, which I think actually violates certain standards. You have to jump through hoops to have your account removed, even though you never asked for an account to be set up in the first place.

They're pushy, presumptuous, and overpriced.

This review will never be seen because Veltra basically reserves the right to remove anything negative in their terms of use.

Warm Aloha,

Thank you very much for taking the time to write your valuable feedback on your recent experience with us. We work very closely with our activity partners to make sure that our clients are well cared for.

Unfortunately, your original requested date was not available for the short waterfall walk but in an effort to accommodate your request, Hike Maui offered to upgrade you to include optional kayaking and a complimentary lunch. Due to weather, the kayak portion was cancelled and although your lunch was packed, it did not make it to you on the trail. We accept complete responsibility for this mishap and would like to make it up to you with a full refund.

Your Hawaii experience is very important to us and we are sorry that the tour and process of booking did not meet your expectations, please accept our sincerest apologies.

Mahalo Nui Loa,

VELTRA Customer Support

冬季限定!ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~4月/英語ガイド/ラハイナ港発>

There were many. 沢山いました

Reviewed by: マウイ楽しかった

I participated in the morning cruise (around 9 AM). I had signed up for a Japanese tour, but unfortunately, it turned out to be an English tour. It seems there were many explanations about whales, but since I'm not fluent in English, I only managed to listen to "in the direction of ○ o'clock" f(^^;

February is the peak season, and as the local guide mentioned, "there are a lot of them," we could see spouts in various places. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any breaches like in the images, but we did catch glimpses of whales waving goodbye with their fins and their tails several times. Perhaps because it was a relatively large boat for whale watching, it seemed like we kept a certain distance from the whales and didn't get too close. This might be due to regulations regarding whales or safety considerations. I had hoped to see them a bit closer, but I guess it depends on luck. (Or maybe I should choose a tour with a smaller boat...?)

Fortunately, it was a calm day, and since I had taken motion sickness medication, I hardly noticed the rocking of the boat.

朝のクルーズ(9時台)に参加しました。
日本語ツアーを申し込んだのですが、残念ながら英語ツアーになりました。
鯨についての説明が沢山流れていたようですが、英語は堪能ではないので「○時の方向」というのだけ頑張って聴いていました f(^^;

2月はシーズンのピークで、ツアーの現地ガイドの方が「うじゃうじゃいます」とおっしゃっていた通り、あちこちで潮吹きしています。
画像にあるようなブリーチは残念ながらみることはできませんでしたが、遠目ながら鰭でのバイバイや、尾びれは何度かみることができました。
ホエールウォッチングツアーの中では比較的大きめのボートのせいか、あまり鯨に近寄らず、ある程度の距離を置くようにしていたように思えます。
鯨に対する規定や、安全に考慮しているのかもしれません。
もう少し間近に見ることができるのかと思っていましたが、そのあたりは運もあるのでしょうね。
(もしくはより小型の船のツアーを選ぶようにするか・・・?)

幸いなことに波が穏やかな日で酔い止め薬を飲んでいたこともあり、船の揺れはほとんど気になりませんでした。

It's a wonderful memory. 素敵な思い出です

Reviewed by: tamamama

Last summer, three generations participated: my parents, my husband and I, and our daughter (9 years old). Even after six months, looking at the photos we took together brings back emotions and fills me with warmth. My parents were also very happy.
Yamapi was a kind and knowledgeable guide, truly wonderful. I could feel his desire to make everyone who participated happy.

Even after returning to the hotel, we were so excited that we couldn't fall asleep right away, including our daughter.
This is the best memory from our trip to Maui.

昨年の夏、両親、私達夫婦と娘(9歳)の三世代で参加しました。半年たっても、皆で撮った写真を見ると感動がよみがえり、あたたかい気持ちになります。両親も喜んでいました。
ヤマピーさん、やさしくて物知りで、本当にすてきなガイドさんでした。参加した人に喜んでもらいたい、という気持ちが伝わってきました。

ホテルに戻っても興奮して、娘も含めてすぐには寝付けませんでした。
マウイ島旅行の一番の思い出です。

ラナイ島行きフェリーチケット 古代ハワイアンの伝説が残る島へ<片道・往復/マアラエア港発着>

Greedy travel! 欲張り旅行!

Reviewed by: みっちゃん

Since I'm going to Maui, I thought I'd be greedy and go all the way to Lanai! So I made a reservation.

When I went to the reception counter with my voucher, it was easy to board the boat. It was a beautiful ship, and I didn't notice any unusual smells (like heavy oil?). My friend was worried about seasickness and took some medicine, but it might not have been necessary. On the way back, they didn't take any and slept soundly.

We sat outside on the second floor. If the weather is nice, be careful of sunburn! We saw whales and dolphins, and the beautiful sea, sky, clouds, and breeze felt wonderful. For lunch on Lanai, we had loco moco, saimin, and freshly baked bread at Blue Ginger—so delicious!

I recommend bringing a cooler bag with drinks and snacks and wearing your swimsuit for a fabulous day on the island!

せっかくマウイに行くのだから欲張ってラナイまでGOでしょ~
って事で予約しました。

バウチャーを持って受付カウンターに行けば簡単に乗れちゃいましたよ~

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

Not what we expected

Reviewed by: Karen

We arrived on Lanai. We were usher to a suburban and driven to Lanai City. We assumed we would get the jeep that we would be able to drive. We were looking forward to the excitement of driving on the rugged roads. When when got to Lanai city we were met by Bruce's in another Suburban. He proceeded to drive us around the island and we never did get the jeep. Not sure what happened. I asked twice if this was the correct tour and told yes it was. Bruce's was awesomeness but it was not the tour we signed up for.

伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー マウイの神話 <優先入場VIP席あり/ビュッフェ夕食/飲み放題/ロイヤル・ラハイナ・リゾート>

I was very satisfied with the great seat. いい席で大満足

Reviewed by: anko

It was the perfect ending to our last night on Maui! The check-in time changed after we made our reservation, and the voucher stated a 6 PM check-in. However, we were able to sit down and start drinking at 6 PM, and the buffet began about 30 minutes after check-in, with the show starting even later.

Since alcohol is all-you-can-drink, they asked for a passport (or any ID that shows your age). A copy is fine, but a Japanese driver's license was not accepted. It was okay in Oahu, but here they were strict about alcohol, so my companion had to go back to the hotel to get it.

Before the show started, there was a ceremony where they presented a pig roasted in an imu. I felt really sorry seeing the pig's face looking right at us, but I enjoyed the kalua pig from the buffet with gratitude.

The show featured a variety of performances including hula, Tahitian, Samoan, Maori, and fire dancing. There was even a segment where we could participate on stage, so I joined in and danced. Since there were hardly any Japanese people in Maui, I felt it was easier to get into the spirit and enjoy myself even more!

マウイ島滞在最後の夜の締めくくりに最高の宴でした!
チェックイン時間は申し込んだあと変更になり、バウチャーには18時チェックインと記載されていましたが、18時から席についてドリンクを飲み始められるようになっており、ブュッフェが始まるのはチェックインから30分後くらい、ショー自体のスタートはさらにそのあとになります。
アルコール類も飲み放題なので、パスポート(年齢のわかるID)の提示を求められます。コピーでも大丈夫ですが、日本の運転免許証はダメでした。オアフでは免許証でも大丈夫なのですが…。アルコールについては厳しいので絶対NGだったため、同行者はホテルに取りに戻っていました。
ショーが始まる前にイムから焼いた豚を出す儀式がありました。眠りについて出てきたブーちゃんの顔がちょうどこちらを向いていて、気の毒でとてもいたたまれない気持ちになりましたが、ブュッフェのカルアピッグは感謝しながらおいしくいただきました。
ショーはフラ、タヒチアン、サモア、マオリ、ファイヤーダンスなど盛りだくさんで、途中ステージに参加できるコーナーがあったので一緒に踊ってきました。
マウイは日本人がほとんどいなかったのでいろいろノリやすくてより楽しめた気がします♪

I visited Lanai Island for the first time. I went without any prior research, but the guide, who spoke only English, chose very easy-to-understand words to explain, allowing me to learn about the history and present of Lanai Island. I encourage you to challenge yourself with English conversation practice. Bruce will respond politely, even if he looks a bit troubled.

初めてラナイ島に行きました。どんなところか下調べもせず行ったのですが、英語のみのガイドさんもとても解りやすい単語を選んで説明してくれて、ラナイ島の歴史と今を観光できました。英会話の練習のつもりでチャレンジしてみてください。ブルースが困り顔ながら丁寧に返事をしてくれますよ。

Yamapi's thoughtfulness was wonderful! ☆ ヤマピーさんの心遣いが素晴らしかったです☆

Reviewed by: みぃこ

I have traveled to Maui several times and really like it. This time, I participated in the highly-rated tour by Yamapi, which I had been curious about for a long time, and I can't help but wonder why I didn't join sooner! It was a wonderful tour. The sunset and starry sky were beautiful, of course, but what stood out the most was Yamapi's thoughtfulness. He provided various forms of entertainment and truly prioritized the participants. Since I attended with my elderly mother, having blankets and chairs while watching the stars was a great help. I only have memories of being cold during a star tour I took on the Big Island in the past, where there were no blankets, chairs, or warm drinks, but this time was completely different and turned into a fun memory! I also appreciated that we had frequent bathroom breaks. I'm glad my mother enjoyed it too! If I have the opportunity, I would like to join Yamapi's other tours as well. Thank you very much!

マウイ島は気に入って何度か旅行しています。
以前からずっと気になっていた評判の良いヤマピーさんのツアーに今回参加して、何故もっと早く参加しなかったんだろう!と思えるぐらい素晴らしいツアーでした。サンセット・星空が綺麗なのはもちろん、ヤマピーさんの心遣いがとにかく素晴らしかった。色々と楽しませてくれ、ツアー参加者の事を第一に考えてる内容だと思いました。高齢の母と参加したので星空を見る際に毛布とイスがあったのは助かりました。昔にハワイ島で星空のツアーに参加した時は毛布・イス・温かい飲み物はなく寒かった記憶しかなかったのですが今回は全然違い楽しい思い出となりました!お手洗いをこまめに取ってくれた事も有難かったです。母も楽しんでくれたようで良かったです!また機会があればヤマピーさんの他のツアーも参加してみたいです☆ありがとうございました!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. At 3,000 meters, the air pressure is low, and I believe that sitting in a chair to watch the stars is the best way to observe the celestial bodies. I was also moved by the very filial-minded Miiko. Please give my regards to your mother as well.

This was my first time participating. It was a Japanese tour, but the explanations were thorough and easy to understand.
I heard that 70% of the whales from Alaska come to Hawaii, and 90% of those come to Maui.

Since they are living creatures, the chances of encountering them are quite unpredictable, but I think we saw quite a few. When I went on another snorkeling tour, I also saw many whales, so I believe that riding on the boat more than twice increases satisfaction.

I heard that the peak is in February.

初めて参加しました。日本語ツアーでしたが、説明が丁寧で分かりやすかった。
アラスカから7割のクジラがハワイにやってきて、そのうちの9割がマウイに来るそうです。

生き物なので出会える確率はなかなか読めないのですが、結構見られたと思います。
別のシュノーケリングツアーに出かけたときもたくさんクジラが見られたので、2回以上船に乗ると満足度が高いと思います。

I participated in January. It was an English tour, but the instructor's explanations were easy to understand, and the crew was kind. Breakfast and lunch were delicious.
I only participated in snorkeling. It was disappointing that there weren't many types of fish near Molokini Island. However, there were wild seals. My companion who participated in the snuba got seasick, which was a bit unfortunate.
On the way to and from, we were able to see whales up close, and I was thrilled to see more whales than on a whale watching tour.

I definitely agree, and I think it would be best to look at the lunar calendar when deciding on your travel dates. If the sunset and moonrise times are offset (by at least two hours), a full moon won't be a problem. A new moon provides the best conditions for stargazing.

確かにその通りで、月齢表をご覧になって旅行の日程を決められたらベストだと思います。サンセットの時間とムーンライズの時間がずれていれば(最低2時間)満月でも問題ありません。新月が、星空観測に関しては1番の好条件です。

A refreshing sunrise. 心洗われるサンライズ

Reviewed by: ひろ坊

The sunrise tour on Maui was currently only available in English, and my family and I were a bit anxious about participating, but there were no problems at all. The view from the visitor center (3000m) just below the summit of Haleakalā was breathtaking, and the sunrise following the starry sky was refreshing and truly a heart-cleansing experience. My family was completely satisfied, and the view from the summit at 3055m was also fantastic after we moved by bus before descending.

In addition to preparing for the cold, I recommend bringing an LED light. The breakfast at the golf course in Kahului after descending was also good.

I decided to book online the day before and received a confirmation by evening. I took my 10-month-old son with me, and the boat was large enough, so there were no issues. However, the chairs on the second deck are fixed and a bit cramped. We were able to see whales multiple times, which was satisfying. The early morning tour is reasonably priced and refreshing, so I highly recommend it. The English guide only mentioned which direction we were facing, so I think it’s not a problem.

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>

Divine! I was moved by the sacred starry sky and the professional skills! Divine! 神聖な星空とプロの技に感動!

Reviewed by: Yamapee-fan

I was finally able to repeat my visit to Haleakalā! As everyone has mentioned, just like last time, I was welcomed by YAMAPEE's wonderful smile and engaging talk. The atmosphere among the tour participants was great, and we started off with a cozy feeling that you don't get on a large bus.

The summer Saturn and the close-up of the moon were impressive, but the starry sky during the winter new moon was truly sacred. No matter when you visit, Haleakalā shows a different expression, and I felt that every single cell in my body was rejoicing under the star-filled sky. Last time, I was able to see the death star of the Big Dipper, but this time we could all see the stars below the belt of Orion, as well as the Andromeda Galaxy.

It's an experience to have the sky right in front of you completely filled with stars... It would be a shame to go to Hawaii and not know about Maui, and it would be truly regrettable to go all the way to Maui and not climb Haleakalā. I really want to share this experience with others, and I might insist on it with my friends again.

It was so much fun with everyone who was there! Thank you to the Osaka team for including us! We got some wonderful photos. I'm so happy—I even bought a special frame! Thank you, YAMAPEE, for your professional guidance once again! With so many repeat visitors, please continue to create tours even after the 3055th time!

It was a truly joyful tour filled with happiness. Thank you, thank you. I look forward to our next reunion!

念願のハレアカラにリピートできました!
皆様が書いてらっしゃるとおり、前回とかわらずYAMAPEEさんの良い笑顔、トークに迎えられ、ツアーの皆様の雰囲気もよく、大型バスにはないアットホームな感じでスタートしました。
夏の土星や月面のアップも感動的でしたが、冬の新月の星空は神聖さそのものでした。
いつ来ても違う表情をみせてくれるハレアカラの懐の深さ、満天の天プラに細胞の一つ一つが喜んでいたと感じます。前回は北斗七星の死兆星など見れましたが、今回はオリオン座のベルト下の、くの字の下の星がみんな見れたり、アンドロメダ星雲などを見せていただけました。
目の前の空が全部星で埋め尽くされているなんて体験できません。。。
ハワイにいって、マウイ島を知らないのは勿体ないし、マウイまでいって、ハレアカラに登らないのは本当に勿体ないことだと思います。
ぜひぜひ同じ体験を分かち合いたいなと、また友人達にしつこくしそうです。
一緒にいらした方、楽しかったですね!!
大阪チームの方、入れてくださってありがとうございました!
素敵な写真がとれていましたね。嬉 専用のフレーム買ってしまいました!!
YAMAPEEさん、今回もプロ中のプロのご案内ありがとうございました!!
リピーター続出なので3055回を過ぎても、お元気でツアーつくっていってくださいね~
本当に幸せ感いっぱいの楽しいツアーでした。 感謝、感謝です。
またの再会を楽しみにしてます。

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

Spectacular show by Mother Nature

Reviewed by: Longhornhammy

I was not looking forward to a 2:50am pickup at the hotel, but the transportation was very comfortable and Rory, our tour guide, was exceptional. He talked most of the way over to Haleakala about Hawaiian culture & traditions so it was informative. When we got to the observation area, Rory took us to 'the best spot' for viewing which also blocked off the wind that was blowing. It is strange at first because the darkness hides the landscape. But the stars were as beautiful as I've ever seen them. Then the horizon began to glow and things moved pretty quickly until full sunrise. We then moved to the 10000 ft observation area and the view was breath taking. Tour finished with a nice breakfast at Café O'lei and we were dropped back off at our hotel in Lahaina. This is a spectacular event and really different from other Maui activities. Pack some warm clothes!

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>

A place you should visit at least once. 一度は行くべき

Reviewed by: Mr.X

This is my second time. I applied again because I enjoyed it last time.
Overall, I had more fun during the first visit.
- Molokini is deep, has few fish, and is far away.
- The snorkeling off Wailea was murky. I couldn't see the sea turtles I encountered last time.
- We had a great view of the whales this time.
- The hamburger was delicious, as expected.
- The swaying and waves were still intense.

I feel like once is enough. If you're just looking to snorkel, there are many places in Maui that are closer and have plenty of fish to see.

2度目です。前回よかったのでまた申し込みました。
全体的に初回のほうが楽しめました。
・モロキニは深くて魚が少ないし遠い
・ワイレア沖のシュノーケリングは水が濁っていた。前回会えたウミガメにも会えず
・クジラは今回のほうがばっちり見えました。
・ハンバーガーはやはりおいしい。
・揺れと波は相変わらず激しい

1度行けばいいかなという感じです。
シュノーケルだけならマウイにはもっと近くでいっぱいの肴に出会えるところがおおいので。

マウイ島観光ツアー ハレアカラ国立公園&イアオ渓谷をめぐる <昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Unfortunately, the weather was not great, but... あいにくの天候でしたが、、、。

Reviewed by: Sissy

Suddenly, it started to rain, and I think the temperature at the summit of Haleakalā was close to 0 degrees. I felt that Iao Valley was a place with some kind of power. The people of Maui referred to it as "blessing rain." It felt like my unnecessary energy was being washed away. The hotel pickup was around 6:30, but the actual departure from the meeting spot was around 8:30, so it seems like the hotel pickup could be a bit later.

急に雨が降り出し、ハレアカラの頂上は0度に近かったと思います。イアオ渓谷はなにかパワーのある場所のような気がしました。マウイの人からは「祝福の雨」と言われました。自分の不必要なエネルギーが流されたような気がします。朝のホテルピックアップは6:30くらいですが実際の集合スポットからの出発は8:30頃で、ホテルピックアップはもっと後でもいいような気がします。

マウイ島 アトランティス潜水艦 ハワイの海底アドベンチャー <日本語オーディオガイド>

潜水!潜水!潜水! Dive! Dive! Dive!

Reviewed by: JUN♂

I really wanted to participate in whale watching, but since it wasn't during the peak season of February to March, I decided to enjoy the waters of Maui with this tour instead.

Since it was my first time in Maui, I chose the 9 AM tour that included a pickup service. A minivan taxi picked us up at our hotel and then picked up a family of foreigners at a nearby hotel before arriving at the meeting point by the Banyan Tree on the ocean side. We showed our voucher to the staff, and since we needed a Japanese audio guide, we received headphones in a bag and waited under the tent for a while.

Gradually, more people gathered, and we began boarding the boat heading to the submarine offshore. This is when we took photos. After about 10 minutes, we met up with the submarine and descended the ladder backward into the vessel. There were about 15 of us in total, including small children, and we were the only Japanese people. The staff seemed to be considerate, as they seated us at the very back (stern) away from the foreigners, allowing us to relax.

Underwater, there was no rocking, and since it was morning, it felt slightly dim, but the tour progressed smoothly. Along the way, we encountered a sunken ship, which made me laugh unexpectedly due to something I saw. I thought, "In a place like this..." (chuckle).

Before I knew it, the tour was over, and we surfaced. We exchanged places with the next group of people and watched the submarine descend as we headed back to the dock. Here, we were handed the photos taken before boarding (with a backing of the Atlantis) and those who wanted to buy them could pay $20.

As we were getting off, I realized that the staff member who had been next to us during the tour spoke Japanese, so they had indeed been considerate. I gave that staff member a tip as a thank you.

Overall, I made some great memories, but since I feel satisfied after experiencing it once, I rated it four stars. I hope this is helpful!

本当はホエールウォッチングに参加したかったのですが、本格的な見頃である2月~3月では無かったので、このツアーで取り敢えずマウイの海を堪能しました。

今回マウイは初めてだったので、送迎サービスがある9時開始を選びました。
ミニバンタクシーが私達をホテルでピック後、すぐ隣のホテルで外人さんファミリーをピックアップしてバニヤン・ツリー海側の集合場所へ到着。
受付の人にVoucherを見せ、私達は日本語の音声ガイドが必要だったので袋に入ったヘッドフォンを受け取りテント下で暫く待機。
次第に人が集まってきて、沖合の潜水艦に向かう船に乗船開始。その時に写真撮影を行います。
10分ぐらいで潜水艦と合流しタラップを後ろ向きで降りて艦内へ。
小さな子供さん達を含めて総勢15名程で日本人は私達だけでした。スタッフが気を遣ってくれたのか、外人さん達とは離れた一番奥(船尾)に座らされノンビリと出来ました。

海中は揺れも無く、朝という事で若干薄暗い感じでしたが順調にツアーが進んで行きました。
途中、沈没船が現れるのですが、とある物で思わず笑ってしまいました。
こんな所に・・・(苦笑

そうこうしている間にツアー終了となり海面へ浮上。
次のツアーの人達と交代して、潜行していく潜水艦を見届け船着場へと向かいます。
ここで乗船前に撮影した写真(アトランティス号の台紙付き)を手渡され、買いたい人は20$を払います。

降りる際、ツアー中私達の隣に居てくれたスタッフが日本語を話していたので、やはり配慮してくれてたんだなと改めて実感。お礼も兼ねてそのスタッフにチップを渡しました。

評価としては、良い思い出が出来ましたが、1度体験すれば満足なので星4つとしました。
参考になれば幸いです。

  • バニヤン・ツリーの海側(JTBのOLI・OLI号の発着場)で受付を済ませます。
