All Reviews for For 8 Year Olds

These are so fresh and delicious, I swear nothing beats a locally grown Hawaiian fruit! This tour was full of fun and just the perfect day.

Bruce was our guide and was awesome. It was just my husband and me. He took us around the whole island and shared so much history and personal knowledge. It was an amazing day. He even brought us Bananas from the tree in his yard which were super sweet. We highly recommend this tour and Bruce.

The cultural elements of the show were exciting and informative. However, the food options were very limited if you weren’t going to be eating beef or chicken. I understand cultural customs apply to certain food groups but we had the option to opt for a pescatarian serving. I do not feel as if we were accommodated as I had hoped however. The drinks were great and the service was spectacular but the dishes were all cold. I don’t think anything we ate was even remotely warm. The food was of high quality but it just seems as if it has been sitting out for some time before it made its way to our table. Would probably opt for a different luau had I known this would be the case.

The perfect experience for honeymooners, amazing adventure to be in contact with nature

We (4 adults) booked the Classic Daytime Hakeakala tour several weeks in advance. About 15 hours before the start of the tour we received a call indicating that the tour was cancelled, then an hour later we were contacted informing us that they worked out their problem and the tour would go as scheduled. We truly appreciated the pick-up and drop-off at our Lahaina resort. The four of us were combined with a bike group so some of our tour time was spent listening to their instructions and safety review. We all went to the crater summit together, absolutely beautiful, however, in order to get the bike riders to their starting point on time we did not have enough time to go into the Visitors Center to learn more about Hakeakala. After the bikers were dropped off we thought we would be stopping in some of the towns we were passing through - especially Paia, but we made only one stop in Makawao, returning back to our resort much earlier than we had expected based on the listed tour duration. While we were pleased with what we were able to see, we felt we did not get the full Classic tour. Our guide, Dan, was very knowledgable about the geography, culture, myths/stories of Hawaii, geology, plant life and origins of the areas through which we passed.

Really enjoyed the day sailing to Lanai from Maui with Captain Turtle! The captain and his crew made it fun and a day of adventure. We did the Snuba when we got to Lanai and Shamus did a great job working with everyone and keeping things safe. Courtney, Shamus and Clay were great on the boat keeping us entertained and personally served everyone.

We saw whales, flying fish and some whitecaps which made for an adventurous trip back.

The food was good, and the whale watching was even better! We enjoyed watching a mother and baby spend much time around the boat showing off their tail slapping. It was magical experience! We saw more whales on this evening cruise than we had seen on our earlier whale watching cruise. The live music was very good. I do believe the whales enjoyed the entertainment too!

Our captain found great whale groupings. We watched mothers and babies play, tails out of the water and a couple of jumps. The boat had snacks/drinks and bathrooms. I went with my 11 and 8 year old children, it was a perfect morning.

Wonderful time and a enjoyable trip over on the ferry. Our shuttle driver, Cory. Was great.

We had the best time! Loved our time snorkeling and going to see turtles. Saw a huge turtle. Biggest I have ever seen. It was great that there were only a few of us on the boat that day. Would have loved to have a grill for burgers, but lunch was good nonetheless.

Delicious food and great show! The location couldn’t be better and the service was good.

Me and my wife had the best experience, of team of Air Maui is exceptional, great time ever.

The short trip from Lahaina to Lanai was beautiful. The ferry was punctual, clean, and efficiently run by the crew. We will take the ferry again on our next visit to Lanai.

loved the crew and got to see a bunch of whales, have a few drinks, and views of Maui were amazing

we absolutely loved our tour guide Dez. hike through jungle was beautiful and we learned a ton as well. Dez picked different fruits and berries we could try from the trees and we jumped from waterfalls - fantastic time!

A very clean ferry with friendly crew! Very well organised despite Lahaina harbour often being hectic. The staff were nice and helpful and the trip over was smooth with a GORGEOUS sunrise!!

This tour is one of the most interesting and enjoyable activity one can take while on the island of Maui. The tour includes the Ferry from Lahaina Harbor to the Island of Lana’i. Once there we were greeted by our tour guide Bruce and off we went in a Chevrolet Suburban. Bruce was so knowledgeable and shared his experiences living on the island.
He shared the history of the island as well as the myths of the gods in the valley of the gods. We were able to see the entire island which has so many different highlights.
This was our second time we have taken this tour and I would highly recommend it for everyone. There is so much to see. A real gem. .

Excellent good beautiful clean organized pilot was very knowledgeable

Isaac was outstanding. He was super knowledgeable about the island and its history. I cant imagine a better way to tour the island.

We had a wonderful time and the crew was very helpful and attentive with our 2-year-old that made us feel very comfortable about the entire experience.

Went out on Aqua Adventures and felt they were a bit understaffed for the amount of passengers they had. Pre paid for Snuba but my husband didn’t even try. No contact for refund. Food served was minimal and not the best quality.

We all had a wonderful ride to Lanai.
Ferry was on time both ways. Boat is clean and Captains and crew were so friendly and helpful. Covid rules followed.
And, we saw whales!

This was a simple, easy, comfortable and beautiful way to check off another island for your bucket list. Crew was friendly, ferry was clean, and it was just a fun way to see the whales---I suggest doing this than paying for a whale watching experience because we saw more whales here on our way to Lanai. Highly recommend.

Overall, great experience with snorkeling tour. I would have given 5-starts other than the two issues, 1 - One of the staff was little rude (white blonde seemed little racist attitude), however everyone else on the staff was super nice, 2 - the second issue, snorkeling place was little muggy water and it was little hard to sight any turtles, even though I saw one but my family couldn't see any. However, we sighted bunch of whales on the way, with couple of them very close to our boat (little scary for few seconds) which was awesome.

This was a wonderful whale watching tour, we loved every minute of it. The guide was very informative, we have done other whale watching tours, but non as thorough in their explanations of all things whale. Other tours we have been on have had more interactive crew members aside from the captain, this one did not. But it was kind of nice to have a very relaxed, more calm experience. We saw whales as soon as we got on the boat practically, and the captain was good about not waiting around for whales for too long, but we would keep looking. The captain said this boat is the largest boat on the island, and at one point during our trip, a whale went under our boat to find shade! There are chairs set up around tables on the top deck which is nice to just sit and relax. One recommendation is to leave extra time for parking, as it gets crowded near the harbor. And it can be a little challenging to find, it is a hut outside right by the boats, I think it’s the last one in the line of whale watching tours, right across from Pioneer Inn. We had a great time, we would definitely go on one of their tours again!

Amazing fun activity with kids for 2 to 3 hours. Make sure to have a hat, sunscreen and snacks for kiddos!

After years of annual vacations on Maui we finally planned a day-trip to Lanai. Out of respect for the native culture and not wanting to violate any sacred areas we decided to hire a local guide to show/drive us around. That was a great decision and great fun. We went all over the island hearing stories of the olden days and current events. If you are at all curious about how Maui (and other Hawaiian islands) looked and felt decades ago, than a trip to Lanai should be on your next itinerary. Like many other Maui adventures, you have get an early start as the first 45 minute Ferry run to the island leaves Lahaina at 6:30am. Enjoying sunrise on a boat in paradise can't be beat. We were greeted at the harbor by our tour guide, who has lived on the island for 20 years. He knew every inch, nook and cranny of the island. He told us about his growing up on the island, and stories old and new of life there.

After lunch in Lanai City we had time to shop in the few local shops and boutiques. Life is a much slower pace there, with way fewer cars and less people. We continued on our tour with a few more afternoon stops, ending at a beautiful beach a short walk to the harbor. We caught the last ferry back to Maui and enjoyed an evening ocean cruise back to Lahaina.

I would highly recommend a day trip and guided tour of Lanai. It's great fun and you never know who you might bump into on this unpretentious paradise island!

The helicopter ride gave a panoramic view of Maui and its beautiful landscape; its an experience worth taking and I would highly recommend

The only way to hike in Hawaii with young kids! We went on this hike with our 4 boys - ages 7, 4, 2, and 5 months. We had a blast, and most importantly - so did the kids! They were so into the treasure hunt and loved hiking through “the jungle.” Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Hawaii with kids and wanting to experience it all!

The captain does a great job of finding the whales and creating opportunities to let the whales approach. Very friendly staff made us feel welcome. The only thing I have concerns with is the lack of ability to social distance or avoid touching high traffic handrails due to safety, but luckily we brought our own hand sanitizer (which I recommend). Overall a great trip, and everyone in my group had a great time.
