Maui
The tour is really nice. The tour guide made all the difference. Being a local the way in which he shared the history and the culture island makes the experience all the better. He didn't talk all the time, checked in on the group, and also didn't rush us at certain spots. I am grateful for who we got for the ride. Highly recommend booking this tour. It was a long day, but we were never bored. Wonderful experience!
We had a great time in the sunset and stargazing tour. The tour operator Yamauchi-San was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He promptly picked us up at the scheduled time. He was very engaging with the whole group and provided us with donuts and water at the start of the trip. He ensured that the group got gradually acclimated to the altitude by stopping at couple of places on the way. Once we reached the summit he took us to a place that had a very clear view of the setting sun. Then during the stargazing part of the tour he showed us several stars and star clusters through the telescope and binoculars. Also since it was a full moon we also got a good view of the moon and it’s craters through the telescope. Overall we enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others.
Absolutely wonderful experience and excellent guidance from staff. Would recommend to everyone and hope to go again in the future.
A little hard to find the place, so make sure you go early, you have to follow the guide from the parking spots to a different area when its check in time.
Senior citizens acting like kids. Great time riding up and down the mountain. Breaks for sightseeing. Guides were awesome. Expect to get dirty.
Fantastic location! Superior guides who patiently walked us through every step! Enjoyed this adventure and highly recommend!
We had the best tour ever! We ended up being the only two on the tour and it was amazing. He even stopped and got us some donuts. We saw the best sunset and so many stars. Yoshi showed us all the different stars and the milky way on the telescope. He also took plenty of pictures of us and let me just say he is an amazing photographer. Would love to go again.
The guides, the views and just riding an ATV combined for an incredible morning adventure in our overall relaxing Maui vacation. The guides were happy, friendly, helpful and informative. The views were incredible. I had never driven an ATV and I was given clear directions and guidance and felt at ease and had fun from the moment I put it in drive. This is 100% worth it!
Yoshi is amazing! He is very thoughtful and came prepared. I went to Haleakala for sunset and then went for stargazing. He is very knowledgeable and explained a lot about stars to us using laser & telescope. He gave us donut, tea, blanket, gloves, jacket, and candy. It was amazing!!! He is very kind and friendly. I definitely recommended him to everyone.
Ps: Thank you, Yoshi!
My family loved this, the guide really made the tour even better.
This tour is absolutely worth it! Yoshi is tour owner and tour guide with over 20 yrs experience! His tour is perfect for those who don’t want to drive up for their first time in the dark and windy road (like the other tour). Everything was provided as described- and the arctic jackets were a must have because it was freezing and windy! Loved the hot tea provided too! Yoshi is super knowledgeable about the stars and with his telescopes we were able to see the beautiful stars. Oh and the sunset was absolutely terrific too! Definitely worth taking this tour!
This tour really showed you EVERYTHING. Take the back way with a guide, its your safest bet!!
Thank you so much for your review and recommendation!
Overall: fantastic. The whole family enjoyed the experience. Be prepared to get dirty. Ecologically friendly, good history. 30 year old and 24 year old had a great time driving. 8 year old talked about it for days, highly recommend.
I loved this zipline adventure with Skyline Eco-Adventure. This tour is perfect to do as a couple, with family, or even alone. I went with my girlfriend and had an amazing time. Definitely the best views i've seen in comparison to my various other ziplining experiences in other states/countries. The two zipline guides we had were super funny and really enhanced the entire experience for us. This tour doesn't take all day, so it's definitely worth doing in the morning or early afternoon.
Mahalo for your review! We are happy to hear that you had a great time!! Please come back and see us if you return to the islands.
The day my girlfriend and I booked this ATV experience, there was heavy morning rain which caused mud slides on some of the roads. Due to the mudslides, we missed our check-in time and were unable to attend the activity. Both Veltra and the Maut ATV Ride Tour were very understanding regarding the issue and issued a partial refund, even when they didn't have to. Thanks for the flexibility.
Me and my best friend are loving our time in Maui, and this experience just added the thrill! The 2 seater UTV was perfect for us!
Beautiful! Waterfalls, incredible coastline views, bamboo forests, complimentary banana bread, local food stands, and much more! But the best was our guide Kea. Impressive knowledge of all the attractions combined with his passionate understanding of Hawaiian history and culture; he was a great guide! We came away with so much more than we had planned on!
Hi Pete, thank you so much fo your fantastic review! We appreciate you taking the time to share a few words about your experience with us! We love Kea too! Connecting our guests to the land and people of Hawai'i is our main goal. The enrichment is paramount to the beauty that surrounds us! Much love and hugs!
Great experience. The trails are great and the guys are super friendly. Would definitely recommend
Experience was good but from what I read it seemed like we were going to ride ATV’s along the water on the beach but we only saw water from a high cliff
This was a great tour that the entire family enjoyed. I would recommend you ensure everyone has the required hight to participate if you're going with very young kids. Our guides were kind, knowledgeable of the island and made sure everyone was safe. My son, for example, wasn't feeling great after the first part of the tour (he got a bit dizzy) and they were always keeping an eye on him, suggesting what we could do to avoid any further dizziness, etc). The company plants new trees with every tour they organize, which is a fantastic way of giving back to the island.
Good value. Beautiful sites. Fun ride. The guides were really informative and friendly.
Yoshi was amazing! He was warm, friendly and knowledgeable about the start and area. We had a great time!
This trip was nice, not too many vehicles going counter clockwise. We saw such a long line of cars towards the end. Glad we went backwards, and skipped the traffic.
There were some narrow squeezes and even had to back up once. But the views were great (just look quickly!) the rainbow trees are beautiful.
Time constraints didn’t allow us to swim under the waterfall, which I would have liked to do (colder water needed to get used to it and dry off..,)
Hana town looks quaint and cute.
The black sand beach and swimming was great!
Thank you so much for your review and images!
Yamauchi-san's tour was absolutely amazing. He was so courteous and professional. He also took so many good, creative pictures of us and he is very talented. We enjoyed his company and tour. It ended up being the most favorite activity during our entire trip. Who knew an astronomy tour could be so fascinating? A must-go tour in Maui!
Totally impressed! My husband and I had fun and enjoyed the beautiful views and excitement of being off the grid! We ride back home (Idaho) and this was a different kind of experience and we loved every moment!
Loved the tour guide, he was so awesome in knowledge of every part of the journey!
Overall it was very fun! It is in a beautiful location and unexpectedly they have a mini outdoor (but covered) museum because the property used to be part of a Marine base, which they talk about and tell you at different parts of the activity. So if you get there early or stay a little after, you can walk over and check it out. There are airplanes and Jeeps along with photos and articles about the events of Pearl Harbor. Be warned that you cannot have your phone or camera to take photos during it. They take professional photos because they do not allow cellphones during the zip lining due to people dropping, breaking, getting distracted, or losing their phones along the way. The photos were very nice (better than I could have gotten), so if you want those make sure you bring a card or cash. For me, I enjoyed that so I wasn't trying to multitask while trying to have fun. The instructors who go and guide you through the 7 lines are knowledgeable and funny - zippy zippy! Also, the instructors mostly work for tips, so bring cash or a card to possibly leave a tip. Lastly, I do recommend renting a car to get to the location because it is not super close to the bigger towns/resorts and it is up a mountain area.
Definitely do Road to Hana or you will miss out on a huge chunk of Maui's beauty. This tour was awesome to show us a lot of off the beaten path!
We had such a wonderful time exploring Maui, seeing picturesque views and chatting with the guides who know so much about the island! I felt very safe the whole time and got amazing pictures. Must do in Maui!
Aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful the experience was!!! The most beautiful sunset and stars I will ever experience! I would highly recommend to EVERYONE!!
