All Reviews for For 5 Year Olds

Was the BEST!
Our tour guide Sonya was absolute amazing, so knowledgable und very nice.
Also we learned so much about the history of Hawaii. Her friendliness made it to the best events we did on Maui. We would absolutely do it again!

We were picked up at our hotel at 3:00 am as promised and then taken up the mountain to see the sunrise. We were lucky as it was a clear day and we got to see the sunrise without issue. Once we arrived at the site, we were given coffee and danish to warm us up. We then took our place with the others and saw the magnificent view. We then got back on the bus and went up to the summit to take a few more pictures. On the way down our driver stopped at two more scenic points so that we could see down into the crater. It was quite a view. At the end of the trip, we were taken to a restaurant on a golf course and fed breakfast. The entire trip lasted about 7 1/2 hours. My one complaint would be that the bus was small and the seats were very tight. Some of the taller and larger people on the bus really had to be uncomfortable for the entire ride as two people could not fit comfortably in one row and there was no leg room at all.

We have heard SO MANY amazing reviews about this and unfortunately because of the government shut down (womp womp // politics <sigh>) we did not get to go. However, I am still reviewing because we were devastated we couldn't go and Veltra was so helpful in assuring us of a full refund and gave us ample notice. Bravo to them :) SO disappointed!

Saw some very interesting sea life; the "ocean piranhas" were crazy. Wished we could have seen the sea turtles up close.
Staff was very friendly and informative.

Had a great trip, enjoyed the time on boat and in water, saw great sights, lots of fish, turtles. Great sites, good food, drinks on board. Would recommend .

A friend of mine recommended the Molokini Snorkel & Turtle Town Cruise. It was a first for all of us snorkeling and the crew set aside time to tell us what we needed to know. They did an excellent job and made sure they stayed close to the children. All equipment needed was available and demonstrated. The continental breakfast and lunch were very good and arranged in an appealing manner. The crew was very attentive to everyone on board. We had a great time and when we return, will definitely do it again....

Second only to the polynesion cultural center.A very tight and clean performance, easy to enjoy.

I went on the afternoon excursion. Haleakalā was not visible because of clouds that had come in, but the pilot had said there was good visibility that morning. Instead we spent more time getting wonderful close ups of magnificent waterfalls. The helicopter was beautiful and only 4 weeks old. Blue Hawaiian staff were great. The second half of the trip was the luxury van along the road to Hana, this van had only 6 passengers which made for a nice intimate trip. Our driver Kelly, was fantastic, knowing the road very well, as he has been driving it on excursions for over 20 years. We stopped places most do not get to see. I highly recommend this trip and it was one of the highlights on this trip.

I went on this ride several years ago and it was even better than I remembered. We got to see a sunken ship. We saw several different kinds of fish as well as a few sharks. We had a really good time. You can tell that the people who do this for a living really love their jobs! If you are going to Maui and do nothing else this is the one thing you ABSOLUTELY must take part in!

I expected it to be bigger & have more to it but the experience was still really nice & you get to see some really interesting species along with a hammerhead shark, turtles & the tunnel where they fish, stingrays & sharks swim all around you.

The show set against the sunset was simply wonderful. The hula, fire dance, and the food were all delicious and fantastic. The whole roasted pig was incredibly tasty!

夕日をバックに繰り広げられるショーは素晴らしいの一言。
フラにファイヤーダンス、そして食事も美味しく最高でした。
ブタの丸焼きが激ウマ！

I participated on the first day of my trip.
The show during the sunset was wonderfully beautiful.
Also, there were no other Japanese people around us, which made me feel like I was abroad and I really enjoyed it.
The host asked the couples celebrating their wedding anniversaries how many years they had been married, and there was a surprise where everyone celebrated together. I was particularly moved by the couple celebrating their 54th anniversary who shared a sweet kiss.
I definitely want to go when I get married!
As for the food... the bread was fluffy and delicious, but the other dishes had an American feel and weren't very tasty.

旅行初日に参加しました。
夕日が沈む中のショーが素晴らしく美しいショーでした。
また、周りに私達以外に一人も日本人が居なく海外に来た感があり楽しめました☆
司会の方が結婚記念日の方に何年目か聞いて行き皆で祝福するとゆうサプライズがあり、中でも５４周年の夫婦が可愛くキスしてたのに感動しました♡♡♡
私も結婚した時にはぜひ行きたいと思いました♡
料理は。。。パンはフワフワで美味しかったけど、他はアメリカンな感じで美味しくなかったです。

The snorkeling was amazing, the crew are the nicest people ever & the food was so good! We had an amazing time. We got to see a monk seal & on the way back to the dock they stop at a spot where they know there are a bunch of turtles to see. The crew was so friendly and they made sure you were comfortable & happy.

It was a garden party filled with a variety of events held around sunset. The venue was a top-notch scenic spot where we could enjoy various shows and a buffet meal while watching the sunset over the sea. Additionally, the performers seemed to be a lineup of stunningly handsome men and beautiful women. Most participants were from the mainland United States, and since the event was conducted entirely in English, my grandmother, who doesn't understand much English, might have been a bit confused.

日没をはさんで催されるイベント盛り沢山のガーデンパーティーでした。会場は一級の景勝地で海の彼方に沈みゆく夕日を眺めながら様々なショーとバッフェ形式の食事を楽しめました。また、ショーの出演者たちは、見とれるようなイケメンと美女ぞろいだったように感じました。参加者はアメリカ本土からが中心で、司会進行は英語のみなので英語があまりわからない祖母は少し困惑気味だったかもしれません。

I saw three shooting stars. After that, the sky gradually brightened, and I was able to see the sunrise I had longed for. The summit is very cold, so it's better to prepare for the cold. (Even with a T-shirt, Heattech, fleece, scarf, and gloves, it was still quite chilly.) I actually wanted to go on a Japanese tour, but I couldn't book it for the desired date... However, I really wanted to see the sunrise. I was anxious about the English tour, but coffee and bread were provided on the bus, and I was able to achieve my goal of seeing the sunrise. There was no explanation about the stars, but if you're just looking to see the sunrise, I recommend it. After the sun rises, they take you to a scenic viewpoint. I was also satisfied with the breakfast after descending the mountain. The scenery was truly magnificent.

流れ星を3つも見ました。その後空がだんだんと明るくなっていき、念願のサンライズをばっちり見ることができました。山頂はとっても寒いので、防寒対策をした方がよいです。（Ｔシャツ・ヒートテック・フリース・マフラー・手袋ではまだまださむかったです。）本当は、日本語のツアーに行きたかったのですが、希望の日にちではとることができず・・・。でも、サンライズは見たくて・・・。英語ツアーで不安でしたが、バスの中でコーヒーやパンなども提供され、サンライズを見る目的は達成できました。星の説明などはありませんが、サンライズを見るだけで良ければ、おすすめです。陽が昇った後、絶景ポイントに連れて行ってくれます。山を下りてからの朝食も満足できました。とっても雄大な景色でした。

Bob and I went to Maui to have an amazing anniversary trip and this was the highlight of our trip. The personal attention that we received from our tour guide, Ed, was beyond expectations. We learned about the island and it was in a pleasant atmosphere. The sights and weather were beautiful and we will never forget the time we spent on this trip. The Orchid farm was awesome and the owners were very informative. My orchids were delivered after I returned home and they greet me each morning with the beautiful smell and sights of them. This was the best hours of our trip and we enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you Ed for making our anniversary one to remember.

Service was great. Pick-up and drop-off in a timely manner. Clean van/bus. Friendly and knowledgeable driver. Delicious breakfast. Incredible sunrise!!

Our guide Ed was very informative throughout the tour. I would recommend taking a tour rather than driving it, the bus drivers know the roads well so you feel safe. Other people have mentioned it was a bumpy ride but i didnt think so. There is nothing much in Hana itself, its more the journey getting there, great scenery...

We were excited to try snuba for the first time as a family of five, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and one of the kids ended up with severe seasickness, so we couldn't really enjoy it in the end.

Both my husband and I can speak some English, so we thought we would be fine without a Japanese guide. However, we couldn't keep up with the explanations and jokes about snuba due to the loud engine noise on the boat, and we regretted that decision.

The visibility of the fish wasn't as good as we had hoped, and we were imagining schools of fish around coral reefs like we saw in the Philippines, so it didn't reach the level of being impressive for us. I think it would have been the same with snuba. (However, there were participants who were amazed, so this is a subjective impression.)

Also, the seawater was quite cold, and we felt very chilly after getting back on the boat, so thick towels and warm clothing are essential.

On a positive note, we finally got to see a sea turtle from the boat towards the end, which was rewarding! It was adorable.

So, for us, the satisfaction level wasn't very high this time, but that doesn't mean the tour itself was bad.

The staff were really kind, cheerful, and cool, and they were considerate of our seasick daughter, which made our experience very pleasant. Other participants also seemed to be having a great time.

If you're not worried about English and seasickness, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!

スヌーバに初挑戦しようと張り切って家族５人で参加しましたが、船がかなり揺れたため、子どもの一人がひどい船酔いになってしまって、結局それどころではありませんでした。

夫も私もある程度の英語はできるし、日本語のガイドさんがいなくても大丈夫かな？と思って参加したのですが、スヌーバの説明やジョークなど、エンジンの音がうるさい船上では全くついていけず後悔しました。

期待したほどに魚影も濃くなく、フィリピンで見た様なサンゴ礁に群がる魚群を想像していた私たちにとっては、感動というレベルではありませんでした。
スヌーバでも、それは同じだったのではないかと思います。
（でも、参加者の中には、スゴイ！と感激している人もいました。これは主観的な感想なので、なんともいえません）

また海水が結構冷たくて、船に上がってからとても寒かったので、厚手のバスタオルや防寒着は必携です。

でも、ウミガメには、終わりがけにやっと船の上から会うことができたので、報われました♪可愛かったです。


今回、そんな訳で、私たちにとってはあまり満足度は高くありませんでしたが、ツアー自体が悪かったわけでは決してありません。

スタッフのみなさんは本当に親切で明るく恰好よく、船酔いした娘にも気遣ってくれたり、とても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。ほかの参加者もみんな楽しそうでした。

英語と船酔いに心配がない方であれば、きっと楽しめると思います！

It was an absolutely fantastic show, more then I expected. The whole family, even the finicky teenager enjoyed the show. The history of the islands then dancers and the fire entertainers were top notch. The whole experience from the staff and the entertainers were the best.

Loved the crew, had a great time. We had a small tour of 12 which was nice and made for tons of room on the boat. Molokini was ok. Tons of boats in that area so I thought it was too crowded, however visibility was amazing saw tons of fish. Loved makena and the turtles. Only saw 4 total but totally worth it. Good lunch and breakfast, good Mai tai's too. As I said good crew made the day more enjoyable. Definitely recommend over the bigger tours.

Great activity to do with a family, my 14 yr old son had a great time jumping off the waterfalls. Very fun and informative. Had Jeremy as a guide, he was wonderful.

I was a bit anxious, but I rented a car and drove from Kaanapali. Since it was a straightforward route, I arrived without getting lost. (Of course, I did my research beforehand.) There were plenty of parking spaces available.

We were the only Japanese couple on board, and it was an English-speaking environment. However, the crew members were very kind and cheerful. Even though I didn't understand the explanations at all, I was able to participate in the tour without any issues. While I think tours with Japanese guides are great, I also felt that tours led by locals allow you to fully enjoy the overseas experience, which was wonderful. I truly appreciated all the thoughtful gestures from the crew.

We went snorkeling at Molokini. We did snuba at the turtle spot. (You can choose where to go for each activity.) Molokini had really high visibility, and there were plenty of fish, which was very impressive. The turtle spot was murkier compared to Molokini, but it was truly wonderful to swim alongside the turtles.

During the voyage, there was a moment when a fish hit the fishing rod on the boat, and the crew worked together to reel it in, which was exciting. The meals, including fruits and sandwiches, were delicious. (＾＾) We took motion sickness medication before the trip, and the boat didn't rock much, so I was fine with seasickness. (I can't say for sure if I would have been okay if I had stayed on the boat the whole time, but I was having so much fun swimming around...)

I was initially worried about renting a car overseas and joining a tour without any Japanese participants, but I'm really glad I participated. It turned out to be a great opportunity for us, who have little overseas experience, to gain valuable experience.

I highly recommend this tour where you can interact with many kind Americans. I would love to participate again.

不安でしたが、レンタカーを借りて、カアナパリから自分で運転して行きました。１本道なので、迷うことなく到着できました。（もちろん下調べはきちんとしておきました。）駐車場もたくさんありました。

日本人は私たち夫婦だけで、英語だけが飛び交う船上でした。けれど、船員の方たちが非常に親切で明るく、説明は全く分かりませんでしたが、問題なくツアーに参加することができました。日本人ガイドがいらっしゃるツアーもいいと思いますが、現地だけの人のツアーも、海外に行った気分を満喫できてまたいいものだなぁと思いました。船員の方々のたくさんのお気遣いが本当にうれしかったです。

モロキニ島でシュノーケリング。ウミガメスポットでスヌーバをしました。（どちらでどれをやるかは選択できます。）
モロキニ島は本当に透明度が高くて、魚もいて、とっても感動しました。ウミガメスポットは、モロキニに比べて濁っていましたが、亀と一緒に泳げて本当によかったです。

航海途中、船の釣り竿に魚がヒットして、船員で協力して釣り上げる場面もあって盛り上がりました。
食事もフルーツやサンドイッチなどおいしかったです。（＾＾）
私たちのときは酔い止めを呑んで行ったし、船もあまり揺れず、船酔いも大丈夫でした。（船にずっととどまっていたらわかりませんが、楽しくてどんどん泳いでいたもので・・・）

海外でレンタカーを借りて・・・日本人のいないツアーで・・・と不安もありましたが、参加して本当によかったです。海外経験の少ない私たちにとっていい経験値を積む機会にもなったのかなと大満足です。

アメリカ人のたくさんの親切に接することができるおすすめのツアーです。
また参加したいです。

This was an awesome snorkel cruise. We have visited Maui many times and have been on many snorkel cruises. I think this is the best one we have ever been on. At the first snorkel location on Lanai we saw the most beautiful coral formations. On the way back we were entertained by a large pod of spinner dolphins. Then at the second location we were privileged to see turtles, and many large and small tropical fish.
The food on the boat was much better than we have experienced in the past. The crew was very helpful to both the experienced snorkler as well as to the brand new beginners. My wife and I had a great experience and would highly recommend this Maui to Lanai snorkel cruise to anyone, families, couples or individuals.

Great food, nice facility. A little too much waiting in line and then sitting around once inside. Good show.

I came on this trip with 6 girls and this was the 1st activity of our daily plans. I so happy that my travel agent recommended this tour. We did review the website for other similar activities close to our hotel, but this worked out perfect. The tour offered us a great BBQ Lunch with drinks. We even got a little continental breakfast. The crew made sure we knew about the safety on board and even tho the seas got ruff and passengers got sick they made sure to check on those passengers and made sure they were ok and at the same time make the other guest have a great time. I love that they teach you how to snorkel too. I would highly recommend this activity and company.

I was very excited to take this activity with my friends but the sea did not agree with me...I got really sea sick but I would not blame the activity...I should have known my body and taken a sea sick pill...what I really want to rave about this activity is the staff...I was so sea sick and they made me feel comfortable and kept checking in on me and my friends..I wish I felt better because they also served food and drinks that my friends really enjoyed. The staff was so educated with safety and making everyone feel that too. They were really nice and friendly and even told us jokes to that even as sick as I was I could laugh. I definitely will take do this activity the next time I visit Hawaii and I will make sure to take a motion sickness pill.

We had a great time on this activity. The staff was very nice and helpful...they made us feel comfortable....they even told us jokes to make us even feel more confortable...very welcoming...Hawaii people are so nice...the food was great...the beverage were also good...the staff taught us how to snorkel....the staff was very educated on their job...my friends got sea sick and the staff really helped them thru the sail...they kept checking in on them to make sure they were still doing good...the seas got ruff and we felt scared but the staff put us at ease..i would recommend this tour if you want a sailing type activity.

You will not regret a single moment on this tour. The views are breathtaking, and amazing to experience. Waterfalls, exotic flowers, rainforests, trees, turquoise waters, and those cliffs and one lane bridges! Beautiful. I traveled with my husband, little girl, my mom and mother in law. We took with us many happy memories on this tour. A must see!

My husband and I heard wonderful things about the Haleakala sunrise, and knew that it was going to be one of our activities on our honeymoon. However, we knew that the bike tour option was a little more daring than we had hoped. After doing some research and finding this tour, we knew that this was the route we wanted to take.

The tour picked us up EARLY (just before 2am), and we boarded the bus. On the way up, our driver gave us the "disclaimer," that nobody can control the weather except mother nature, and it will either be crystal clear and beautiful...or...cloudy and disappointing. Luckily for us, it was, quite literally, PERFECT.

As the sun rose, the colors changed so beautifully and two native Hawaiians sung a traditional chant. We stayed for a few more pictures, then took the bus from the lookout point to summit (quick drive), then stopped at another lookout point before heading down to breakfast.

If you are going to Maui, make sure you take this trip!
