Hokua Private Boat Charter from Maalaea Harbor - Aloha Blue Charters

Grandkids said this was the hightlight of our trip!

Reviewed by: Vicki and Jack

We were visiting Maui for our 50th Wedding Anniversary and celebrating with our 4 children and spouses and 7 Grandkids - 16 total. We wanted a small boating trip that would accomodate everyone's individual ideas of a snorkeling trip - not too long, too many people, too choppy, etc. Then I found Aloha Blue charters online, it sounded perfect. They had a 2 hour private afternoon boat trip available for a reasonable price for the whole boat. Our Captain Larry and assistants Jeren and Sienna were a delightful team that made our trip very memorable. 13 of us were in the water for a little over an hour enjoying the underwater sealife and the others watched and enjoyed themselves on board. I would recommend this "customized" trip (2-4 hours - snorkeling, sightseeing and/or fishing) to all families visiting Maui that don't want what is offered on most of the more expensive trips advertised. We will book again on a return visit. Thanks!, Vicki and Jack

乗馬ツアー　ワイへエ渓谷を巡り、ハレアカラ山頂も望む＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞

First horseback riding on our honeymoon for our 60th birthday. 還暦の新婚旅行で初乗馬

Reviewed by: パワフル爺さん

Accommodation was in Kaanapali, and we were to meet at 8:45 AM.

The reviews mentioned it would take about an hour. In hindsight, that was based on a time when there was no traffic and no getting lost.

We decided to take the longer route. The reason was that we thought it would be easier and clearer to drive on a straight road without going through the city.

I estimated that it would take about two hours, allowing for some extra time.

On the day of the trip, however, my hotel alarm clock was broken, and I woke up at the scheduled departure time, leaving 15 minutes late.

Even so, I felt relaxed thinking that there would be little traffic on the longer route.

As we actually drove, it took less than 30 minutes to feel like we were on a mountain road. There were hardly any cars, and I thought we might arrive early while enjoying the scenery.

After a while, the road began to narrow, and I stopped seeing any houses; the only thing in sight was a warning sign for falling rocks.

At this point, I felt I couldn't turn back and had to trust my instincts to keep going.

As the meeting time approached, I was filled with anxiety, but then I saw a sign for horseback riding, and I was so relieved and excited.

We managed to arrive just in time, taking about 100 minutes.

We completed the check-in, and other participants started to gather. The briefing on horseback riding safety began at the scheduled time.

I can hardly speak English, but they kindly assisted me, and I understood the instructions on how to ride and the precautions through gestures.

Finally, it was time to ride. I was the first to get on a horse, and surprisingly, it was quite easy to mount, which relieved me. There were even small children riding.

The course was a mountain path with ups and downs, and we rode slowly, which made it enjoyable and pleasant. I had the leisure to enjoy the scenery as well.

When we reached our destination after descending the mountain, there was an explanation about the history of the area. On the way back, we took a different route for part of the journey.

It was a great experience, and I had so much fun.

By the way, the return trip took about 90 minutes on the shorter route.

I would love to go again someday, this time taking the shorter route (laughs).

口コミでは１時間と記載。
今思えばこれは下回りで渋滞なく迷う事なく行けた時の記載でした。

私たちは上回りで行く事にしました。
理由は街中を通らず一本道で走りやすく分かりやすいと思ったからです。

所要時間は余裕を見越して２時間あればと勝手に推測してました。

さて当日、ホテル目覚ましが何と壊れており、出発予定時間に目覚めてしまい、遅れる事15分で出発しました。

それでも上回りは車が少なく渋滞はないと考えて気持ちに余裕はありました。

さて実際に走行して30分も掛からず山道を走る感じになりました。
それでも車は殆んど見なくて、これなら早く着くのではないかと思いながら景色も楽しみながら走っていました。

暫くすると、どんどん道幅が狭くなって来て、民家さえ見かけなくなり目に入って来るのは落石注意の標識だけでした。

それでもここまで来たら引き返す事も出来ず信じて進むしかありません。

集合時間も迫って来ている中で不安いっぱいな気持ちで進んで行くと乗馬の看板が目に飛び込んでた時はどれだけ感激した事か。

所要時間は100分でギリギリ間に合う事が出来ました。

無事受付も済まし他の参加者もぞくぞく集まり、予定時刻に乗馬の注意事項の説明が始まりました。

英会話は殆んど出来ないのですが親切に対応してくださりガイドの説明は手振り等で何となく乗馬の仕方、注意は分かりました。

さあいよいよ乗馬です。
初めて馬の上に乗ります。
よりによって私が一番でした。
実際に乗って見ると以外と簡単に乗れて安堵しました。
小さい子供も乗っていました。

コースはアップダウンがある山道でゆっくり歩きながらの乗馬なので楽しく気持ち良く乗れました。
景色を楽しむ余裕もありました。
山を下って行き目的地に着くとその土地の歴史と思われる説明がありました。
そして帰りは途中まで別ルートでした。

良い体験が出来て凄く楽しかったです。

ちなみに帰りは下回りで帰りましたが90分くらいでした。

またいつか行きたいです。
下回りで(笑)

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

AMAZING experience! 10/10 would recommend, JUST DO IT

Reviewed by: Maui Lover

We went to the top of Haleakala with Yoshi, and it was a wonderful experience. We felt safe which was great. I would recommend going with a tour if you're going to go stargazing because the drive down the mountain esp in the dark can be a little daunting....no guardrails between 7,000-10,000 ft, winding roads on side of cliff, with no/very little lights on the sides of the road.
The stars and the sunset were breathtaking!!! We were literally above the clouds. Everything was provided like hot tea, blankets, warm jackets, a telescope and a pair of stand-up binoculars.
Highlight of our trip. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of our tour guide Yoshi - the donuts for everyone, opportunities for photo taking...Thank you Yoshi!!!

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Amazing views, wonderful guide!

Reviewed by: Tom

Had an excellent experience - pickup from our location on the western side of Maui was easy and extremely convenient. The guide, Yoshi, is very friendly and knowledgeable about the island, and a very courteous travel leader. It's a long ride up the mountain, but there are plenty of spots to acclimate to the changes. It gets cold no matter the time of year, but the provided coat and warm drinks will help considerably! Still, safe to bring more warm gear like a hoodie.

The sunset and stargazing part of the tour are breathtaking. It's a truly one of a kind location and expeeience that I can't recommend enough to anyone curious about it.

Our entire family (ages 17 to 55) really enjoyed this tour. Yoshi was a great guide and made sure we enjoyed the experience by providing chairs, warm clothing, blankets, and hot drinks. He also took pictures and gave hints on taking great pictures. Haleakalā is a great experience and is truly another world. You go above the clouds at 10K feet, so you don’t need to worry about visibility, and the star gazing is amazing. Unique and great experience!

3-Hour Hana Rainforest Tour with Waterfall Swim & Easy Nature Walk - Hike Maui

WOW!!

Reviewed by: Jessie

Michael (Mike) was our tour guide and created an exceptional experience for us. He was very welcoming and building rapport almost seemed second nature for him. He knew how to keep the audience engaged during the entire experience. The ride to pick up and start the event was just about the right length of time. I especially liked the fact that he could use a microphone while driving and that everyone in the vehicle could hear him. My family had our eyes opened on the lush landscape, history, and culture that Hawaii has to offer. Mike ensured that every angle was covered, and I honestly wish we could have strapped an audio recorder to him so we could capture all that he had to share. We all had ample time at the stops for swimming and pics. Mike was even nice enough to make an additional jump off the waterfall cliff with my go pro (I shared that video, feel free to use it) as I wasn’t brave enough to take that plunge. Our only constructive feedback on this event would be to tighten up the “meet up” process at the local shops. We were unsure where or how we needed to check in. Once we saw the white van arrive with the logo we understood.

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Stargazing in Maui May 2024

Reviewed by: Steve and Monhee

Our Star Gazing tour with Yoshi was better then we even expected! His knowledge of the star field was appreciated and he fully explained the stops for altitude acclimation and conditions we could expect at the summit. He also stopped to pick up donuts to share before the sunset viewing.
We initially stopped near the fairly crowded observatory area for picture taking, but he then drove us to a more secluded spot where we were able to enjoy the sunset and nighttime views in almost total isolation.
Though we came prepared with hoodies and midweight jackets, gloves and hot coffee, Yoshi had hot water available for making green tea or other beverages, as well as any additional jackets and blankets if needed.
Yoshi set up a high powered binocular stand and a telescope for viewing several star clusters, and luckily we were also able to see the Southern Cross. Perhaps the best feature, though, was lying on our backs and just looking at the star filled sky, which was an almost transcendental experience.
We had previously driven up Mauna Kea years ago, and being able to relax and enjoy the view on the ascent, rather than having to concentrate on the road, especially on the way down after nightfall was well worth the cost.
Avoid the big Hotel tour groups and book with Maui Allstars for a more personalized trip and I am sure you will not regret it. Apologies that night photo did not have appropriate exposure setting to really display the stars.

Most wonderful experience, highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Palmer Family

Yoshi is a wonderful passionate guide. I can not say enough about our sunset and stargazing experience. Yoshi not only loves what he does but shared that excitement with all of us on the tour. Our tour ended up just being our family of 5 (ages 73, 60, 31, 30 and 29). The knowledge and laughter Yoshi shared with us along with his special spot for viewing was absolutely amazing. He also shared donuts, hot tea/coffee, blankets, chairs and coats. This was welcomed as the temperature dips after the sun goes down (even for Buffalo, NY natives). The stargazing we did with his telescopes and the knowledge he shared of how to take some very interesting photos was wonderful. I would not only recommend this tour to all but will take it again if I find myself in Maui again.

Thank you Yoshi for such a memorable family experience.

I couldn’t ask for more and really had a fantastic time. Yoshi was very accommodating, we are a family of 4 and the experience was shared with another 2 people. A relatively small group, and the transport was super comfy, water and donuts was provided, and we had multiple stops prior to reaching the peak to allow us to get used to the elevation. Toilets are clean and oh my the view! Yoshi has a passion in astronomy and we learnt a lot from him during star gazing. He also brought chairs, blankets, hot water and even jackets to make sure we are warm. It is absolutely mind blowing to see the amount of stars that lit up… and best bit ? You felt like you are the only ones in there, we had a relatively quiet spot and the craters are spectacular. Our children 11 and 8 coped well with the excursion. I would join again if I’m back in Maui. Thank you for making the trip so memorable.

This was my 2nd time visiting Maui and my biggest regret from the 1st trip was not going horseback riding. I would definitely recommend Circle M Ranch. The horses were well behaved and looked well cared for. Our guides made sure we all felt comfortable and were very informative. I've ridden many times but I still appreciated the way they explained everything before we saddled up. They provided some drinks that we were able to keep in our saddlebags. The trail was beautiful going through sections of forest, and gave us plenty of views of the ocean, including whales and that gorgeous coastline! We stopped at a few outlooks where our guide shared the history of the ranch and island, and for some photos. The whole experience was very professional. When we got back to the ranch I was only sad it was over. Thanks for a great experience!
