The sunset dinner cruise was a very pleasant experience. The food was excellent and the weather was perfect. We saw a whale and her calf nearby, which was a great experience, and the sunset and bright stars in the clear night sky were unmatched. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to other couples.

Our guide "Frenchie" was very funny, entertaining, and courteous. He certainly made the 2 hour horseback ride enjoyable. We were taken to some locations that offered amazing views of both the mountains and the ocean. In addition, the BBQ lunch that was provided was excellent as well. Overall, it was a very good experience, and one that we would recommend to others.

This was the best! I traveled with my teenage daugher and 9 year old son and we had a wonderful family experience! Kristin (our guide) is the BEST! Kristin brought the whole group together as one big family! She made sure everyone had a great time and pointed out many interesting plants and species in the rainforest. She was amazing with my son and helped him with the rope swings - All of us would definitely do this event again!!!!

Great great job to our tour guide kaleo!!! This was by far one of the best things we did on Maui! We saw whales from the kayak and we snorkeled with turtles and fish and a took a ton of pics with my underwater camera (disposable) so I gotta get those developed soon. I hope they come out good!!!

Being from Kansas, my family and I don't exactly get too many opportunities to go kayaking in the ocean, so when my son asked if we could do the kayaking and whale watching, I was little scared but now I am so glad that I did it! This was such a great tour from the moment we met our guide up until we came back to shore. Seeing whales while in our kayaks was completely breathtaking and the professionalism displayed by the guides was top notch. Keep it up folks!

My first time in Hawaii and my husband and myself went on the kayak whale tour and I was nervous at first but the guide was so nice and he took very good care of us. Being in the open water and seeing the whales from a distance was very wonderful and I hope I can do this again soon. The kayaking was not very hard and I learned quickly thank to my guide and teacher.

The 4 of us had a ball at the ranch. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Frenchi and Butch were great with us. Also liked the way riders were paired to the horses. Had my 50th birthday on your island and at the end of the ride I was the last to dismount due to friends signing Happy Birthday to me. Was a BIG highlight of our trip. Thanks again.

Surf lessons with the Maui Beach Boys were GREAT! They were so fun, laid back, goofy, relaxed, knowledgable, helpful, funny... you name it! I am EXTREMELY un-coordinated but love water so surfing looks fun for me but is something that is kind of unthinkable...the paitence and one on one instruction that we got durring out lesson was do helpful! The other instructors in the water even chiped in and helped push us off and give tips too! and when we were waiting for the waves to come in the conversation was very fun and smiles were a constant! This was a GREAT way to start our vacation!!! I will deffinatley do this again!!!

The 2-hour excursion with lunch was outstanding. The scenery of the entire East side of Maui, from Haleakala through Kahului to the three waterfalls of Mt. Eke was breathtaking. The opportunity for the horses to trot & gallop was a pleasant surprise that I was not expecting. The Paniolo lunch of barbecue chicken & ribs was very delicious.
Thanks for the experience!!!

Mendes staff, Rocky, Butch, and Frenchi were wonderful--so friendly and helpful! These folks made the experience even more fun and enjoyable. The views during the ride are spectacular. Plus, the guides provide interesting information at the two photo opportunity stops; the information and the photo ops are quite thoughtful. I've been on three other horserides on different islands, and this one is my favorite because of Rocky, Butch, and Frenchi, and the views. The BBQ lunch is also very tasty and much enjoyed after a beautiful ride.

The snorkeling experience was breath taking,literally!! I hadn't snorkeled in years and had a hard time not breathing through my nose. The team worked with me to get be back in the water and snorkel. The team was very friendly and connected with everyone in a personal level. The boat was smooth ride, which surprisingly didn't get my husband sea sick. We had a great time snorkeling Molokini crater and searching for sea turltles along the shore. We weren't able to snorkel turtle town due to the murky waters, however, snorkeling the back of Molokini crater was also a unique experience. We would definitely take this snorkeling tour again and recommend it to anyone!!!

My husband and I just went snuba diving at the Molokini Crater. This was my first time being in the ocean yet alone dive 20ft under the ocean. It was way better than snorkeling! Now I'm hooked on snuba and willing to do it again in the future! I recommend this to everyone who wants to experience a whole different world!

During this trip to Maui, we had to give up snorkeling because a certain someone brought a hammer, and instead, we decided to endure a submarine experience. However, it turned out to be more exciting than we expected.
We took a boat from Lahaina Harbor to the submarine, and after watching it surface, we boarded the submarine and descended to the ocean floor. The boat captain's wife is Japanese, and she graciously welcomed us in her limited Japanese. The Japanese narration we heard through the headsets inside the submarine was actually her voice. The sight of colorful small tropical fish swarming around the coral reefs and near the sunken ship was breathtaking. The only disappointment was that the depth of the water absorbed the red colors, making them less vibrant. After about 30 minutes of diving, we surfaced and transferred back to the boat. This time, we watched the Atlantis submarine dive before heading back to Lahaina Harbor.
I hadn't considered this before participating, but I think the timing set for Alan1 is perfect for sightseeing. This is because, being my second time, I could enjoy watching the Atlantis surface and dive from the boat, and since it was getting sunnier, the ocean floor was bright. Plus, being in the morning, the sea was calm. I was truly impressed with Alan1.
今回のマウイ島旅行グループに何故かかなづちが迷い込んでいた為、スノーケルは諦め、潜水艦で我慢する事にしました。ところが、予想以上の面白さに大興奮でした。
ラハイナの港からボートで潜水艦付近まで行き、浮上してくる潜水艦の様子を見た後、その潜水艦に乗り込み海底へ。ボートのキャプテンの奥様が日本人なのだそうで、かたことの日本語で精一杯もてなしてくださいました。潜水艦の中で貸してくれるヘッドセットから聞こえてくる日本語の案内は彼の奥様の声なのだそうです。海底の珊瑚礁、沈没船付近に色鮮やかな小さな熱帯魚が群れなしている光景は圧巻でした。残念な事は、水深が深すぎる為に赤い色が吸収されてしまい、赤みに欠けてしまっていることくらいでしょうか。30分位の潜水の後、浮上し、再びボートに乗り移り、今度はボートから潜水していくアトランティスを見送った後、ボートはラハイナ港へ。
参加する前には考えが及ばなかったのですが、Alan1で設定されている時間が観光にはベストだと思いました。何故かというと、2回目なので、ボートからアトランティスが浮上してくるところ、潜水するところ、が眺められる事と、日差しが強くなって来る時間なので海底が明るい事、午前中なので海が穏やかな事、さすがアランワンちゃんと思いました。

My girlfriend and I used Aqua Adventure on the 14th of August and it was great. The crew was easy to get along with and they were very helpful with the snuba part of the adventure. I would recommend them to anybody who wants more of a one on one experience they had a small group so it was a lot easier moving around on the boat. The only thing is they need to seperate the twosomes more on the tie line during the snuba dive so they don't run it to each other or get tangled. I was worried about the underwater breathing but it was very easy to do. Hope you give them a shot they are well worth it.

On August 9, 2009, I participated with my family of three. We had seen shows in Waikiki before, but this was our first time attending an outdoor luau show. Most participants were from the mainland or foreign countries, and we were the only Japanese group that day. There were about 3% of people of Asian descent, but everyone spoke English fluently, and we communicated in English with those sitting next to us. We also did our best to enjoy ourselves with our limited English. Communication is all about the mindset... I learned how to give tips to the staff by watching others. The show started as the venue was bathed in the orange glow of dusk, and I thought it was a wonderful performance, ranging from traditional hula to fire dancing. On the way back, taxis were waiting outside the venue, so we called one over to take us to our hotel. It became a great memory.
09年8月9日に家族3人で参加しました。これまでワイキキでショーなど見てきましたが、野外で行われるルアウショーへの参加は初めてでした。参加者は本土の方や外国の方がほとんどで、この日参加した日本人は我々1組でした。東洋系の人が3%程度いますが、皆英語が流暢で、隣になった人達と英語でコミュニケートしています。私達も片言の英語でがんばり楽しみました。コミュニケーションは気持ちのもちようですから・・・。 ボーイさんへのチップの渡し方なども見様見真似で覚えました。ショーは夕暮れのオレンジに会場が色づくころ始まり、伝統的なフラからファイアーダンスまで素晴らしいショーだと思います。帰りは、タクシーが会場の外で待っているので、適当に声をかけて宿泊先のホテルまで送ってもらいました。いい思い出となりました。

Overall we had a pretty good time at the luau. The food was pretty good. Better than just decent, but not the best or anything. The hostess was great, very funny and sincere. Most of the luaus are sound pretty similar when you read the descriptions, but this also included unlimited drinks and was a little less expensive. The show itself seemed really short, because I was very intrigued by the different dances. Get there early! there was a long line, and they were sold out of the $15pp "VIP" option. i'm not really sure it's worth it anyway. you get up front seating and get in line for food first, but we had a decent view from our seats in the back and the food line went pretty quick! My mom used to dance hawaiian and tahitian, so i was familiar with costumes, props, etc and they seem pretty authentic.

My wife was having difficulty adjusting to breathing with the regulator and was on the verge of a full blown panic attack. I had actually thought she was heading back to the boat but the next thing I knew, she was swimming right beside me. The diver/guide had removed her weight belt to let her get used to breathing underwater and then put it back on. She absolutely did not give up on my wife and had her underwater in no time. It would have been real easy to just let her go back to the boat, but she just wouldn't take no for an answer and we are glad she didn't. The dive was the one of the highlights of our trip!!! Many thanks to the staff!!!
