All Reviews for For 10 Year Olds

Dave and Suzy you guys are the best. We always love coming to Maui and meeting up with the Action Sports Maui team. We observed your instructors to be the best on Maui. You provide good sound advice for eager individuals getting involved with the sport. We hope to come back often because our experience was awesome! Thanks so much from Tom and Jodi - Hood River/Portland Oregon

We had a great time on the boat. Rocket and David were very nice. I snorkeled and David helped out the crew. Our friends had fun too. Hopefully we can see you in Hawaii. Aloha!

We just had to write you and express our thanks for our wonderful day trip to Lanai with you this past June. The pod of spinner dolphins that we saw were spectacular - so graceful and we got to see them up close and personal. We couldn't believe how much they like to jump...we got some GREAT pictures. Thanks again!

The Hawaiian Aquarium was cool, admission was cheap and we got to see a lot for what we paid. You can stay as long as you like but we saw everything in about two hours and took our time. We recommend this especially if you have children.

Before leaving, we want to express our sincere thanks to you for providing such a ‘class act’ in the tour service you offer. We had the privilege of doing both the Hana and Haleakala trips with you and we had an unforgettable time; learned a great deal and were as comfortable as could be. You certainly leave no stone unturned to ensure the best possible service toyour clients - we appreciate that. Our tour guides were prompt, courteous, most adept at their jobs and extended to us what we refer to as the real Hawaiian hospitality. We could have asked for nothing more. They thought of everything! Please extend our thanks to each of them too for making us feel like one of the family.

We loved everything. The Snuba with Chad and the food and Sailing. The Crew made the entire experience great and took care of us from the start to the end. It was one of our best experiences on a Hawaiian Island, ever!

This trip made our son’s birthday a lifetime event. He’ll never forget it!

Our entire family had a wonderful time surfing! We cannot wait to do it again. Thanks for taking us out!

Definitely the highlight of our vacation. Loved the music and pilot’s commentary.

wedding cake. Worth every penny!

This was a great tour that took you around about 80% of the island! Awsome scenery! Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

It was awsome! The show and dancers were great! The food was delicious! Definitely do it again on a return trip. Can't go to Hawaii without a Luau and this one is perfect!!!

Your entire staff was the absolute epitome of friendly and professional in every way (and I say that as the owner of an aviation company and a very discriminating customer). The entire experience was unforgettable from beginning to end. Rest assured, we will be recommending Air Maui to everyone we know who's thinking of a Hawaii vacation!

You gave us a lifelong dream. The pilot was awesome and so was all your staff. We will be back for whale season!

Our kids loved this ocean center, after a few days of water activities (snorkeling and surf lessons), it was great seeing them learn about some of the ocean habitats that make Maui such a special place to visit. Very informative and such a fun day.

I've never ridden horse before and was thrown off a pony when I was young. I was very nervous. Our guides were excellent and the horses were wonderful. I enjoed the ride very much and also apprciated the photo oppurtunities our guides gave us. We had the ride with the lunch included and I would highly reccomened you indulge in the meal also. I am so glad we did this on our visit to Maui.

The road to Hana is simply enchanting. I do not think that another road like this exists in the world. On the entire trip you are engulfed by the alluring beauty of Hana. The trip into the cave was fascinating. It felt like we were going inside the Earth to a place where the effects of time cannot be felt.

The road to hana was something that I wanted to experience while on Maui. I'm glad that someone else was driving, because that road in narrow and curves constantly. The driver did a great job maneuvering around the road, all while giving us informative information about what we were seeing. All along the road you can see beautiful lush vegetation. The helicopter tour was a great way to get a brids-eye-view of hana. Hana is even more beautiful when you see it from a helicopter. You can really get a feel for how dramatic the scenery in Hana is.

Stand up paddling was a very unique experience. The instructors were great and really made it easy to learn how to stand up paddle. We are from the midwest, so we wanted to try a unique ocean activity, since it would be something that we would not be able to try back home. I wish we had easier access to the ocean, so we could use our newly acquired paddling skills.

We did the Hana/Haleakala flight. We felt like we were on our way to Jurassic Park while we were flying over Hana. The whole flight was just non-stop jaw dropping beauty all around you. When we made the transition to Haleakala it was like we were flying over Mars. We had taken tours of Hana and Haleakala, but is truly a different experience when you see it from the sky.

I've never surfed, but the instructors at Action Sports Maui really take the time to teach you the basics. They know how important it is for you to feel safe before trying to windsurf out on the ocean. I never felt like I was going to blow away into the blue abyss. I've been sailing a few times, and windsurfing is a similar feeling, but with more of an adrenaline rush.

I surfed from when I was 7 until I was about 14. When I visited Maui I decided to try to get back onto the board. I took the intermediate surf lesson. The instructors at Action Sports Maui did a very good job of getting me back into the swing of surfing. It was a great experience and I hope that I will be able to surf again sometime soon.

My wife and I had a great time at the ranch.

The check in was straight forward and the waiting area was clean with friendly staff.

The lunch was great and the cook was very friendly.

I had Cowboy and my wife had Baily and they were great horses.

Butch and the other wrangler (can't remember his name) were friendly and knowledgeable.

We would recommend the Mendes Ranch to anyone who wants to have great trail ride while in Maui.

The views offered by the hike is absolutely gorgeous, waterfalls, lush vegetation and beautiful flowers. It was a little pricey for a short hike. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it.

We took the 5 hour hike and it was wonderful. I was joined on this activity by 5 families members including my 83 and 80 year old parents. Our tour guide, Akiko, was beyond knowledgable and special. She gave us so much information that I felt like I became part of the rain forest. Her attention to our enjoyment along with her friendliness made this one of the best events we did on Maui. Strongly recommend this event and this a vast improvement for me as I was the hold out on taking part in this hike.

A little bit corney, but fun nevertheless. I took my daughters to the show and they did enjoy it. This is not broadway and I doubt it has anything to do with Hawaiian culture, but iw was a fun time. All the dancers were great. The fire dance is obviously the big draw and it worth it.

This was a very time. The guides were a little stiff at first but loosened up enough for all to enjoy it. The sights were fantasitc as was the snorkling. We saw 2 species of dolphins and many whales. The snorkling was great. The raft has a toliet so that too was a plus.

Overall this could have been a much better experience if the activity was either longer or less expensive. Bascially we were out for under 2 hours. I did not feel that I got my money's worth. We paddled out to the channel then back in to snorkle and then came in. Sure the sights were great and our guide was wonderful, but for the price, this should have been 4 hour excursion. The location was really out of the way, but the area was excellant. We saw whales, turtles and lots of fish.

Helga was our guide and she seemed to know alot about the area. We were walking alog and she stopped at a tree and pointed out a lizard or some kind. How she saw it I don't know. My wife thought it was almost too long a hike as she has a back injury. I enjoyed every minute of it. We saw 4 waterfalls and I swam in 2 on them. Swung on a rope through the fourth waterfall. Had a blast. Your in a rainforest jungle so be ready to come out with muddy shoes. The info sheet said wear swim clothes and bring a dry change. Don't bring anything. There is no place to change at. If you need to just wear something over your swimwear. I wore swim trunks and took my shirt, shoes, socks off for swimming. Your provided backpacks to carry your lunch in. On the lunch choices bread choice should also be added. My and I both don't like rye?... The only down point i saw and was no control of the guide is there is a sick fasination with pit-bulls. The locals brings them and they are loose. My

According to the Maui Tourism Board's website, the tour was estimated to take about 4 hours, which made my wife and daughter hesitant due to concerns about seasickness. However, since the tour guides mentioned it would only take 2 hours, we decided to join the Lahaina cruise. In the end, I think 2 hours was just right. Thanks to the season at the end of March, we spotted whales about 15 minutes after departure and were able to see around 20 whales in total, including a mother and calf that we observed closely for about 30 minutes. (Most were just visible in the distance, but I believe the situation wouldn't change much even if the duration were longer.)

I actually intended to bring binoculars but forgot them. Interestingly, neither the crew nor any participants had them either. I thought that since visibility would be limited while searching, there might not be many opportunities to use them.

The boat we were on was a stable catamaran, and while it felt stable when moving, when the engine was turned off to observe the whales, the small width of the boat made it susceptible to rolling waves, which could cause side-to-side motion. If you're prone to seasickness, it might be wise to take some medication beforehand (my wife said she was glad she did).

Additionally, parking in Lahaina can be challenging, so if you're participating by rental car, I recommend arriving early in the morning or a bit ahead of time (there were plenty of parking spots if you moved a little away from the bay).

In summary, I’m glad we participated! It was fun! I hope this helps.

マウイ観光局のＨＰをみると４Ｈ程度となっていたため、船酔いを気にする妻と娘はしぶっていたが、観光ガイドなどでは２Ｈのツアーとなっていたこともあり、ラハイナクルーズに参加することにした。結果、２Ｈで十分だったと思う。3月末のシーズンのおかげか、出航して15分程度でクジラを確認することが出来、ひと組の親子クジラをじっくり見た30分程度含めて都合20匹くらいは確認出来た。（ほとんどが遠くの海上にいるのが確認できる程度だが、時間が長くても、たいして状況は変わらないと思う）
実は、双眼鏡を持っていこうと思いながら忘れてしまったのだが、クルーを始め、参加者も誰も持っていなかった。探す際に視界が狭くなるのは邪魔なので、あまり活躍するタイミングはないかもしれないと思った。
また、乗った船は、揺れに強い双胴船だったが、確かに、
自走しているときは安定感強いが、クジラを観察するために、エンジンを切っている際には、横幅小さい船だと上下になる波の揺れが、左右の揺れになるので、左右の揺れに弱い人は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいたほうがよいかもしれない。（妻は飲んで良かったと言っていた）
あと、ラハイナは駐車スペースに難があるので、レンタカーで参加される方は早朝or早めの到着（湾からちょっと離れれば止める場所はいくらでもあった）を心がけるとよいと思います。
最後に、ひとことで言うと、参加して良かった！楽しかった！です。
ご参考まで。
