Maui
Absolutely wonderful experience and excellent guidance from staff. Would recommend to everyone and hope to go again in the future.
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.
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!
Once in a life time experience!! The views were unbelievable! Very friendly driver who made frequent restroom or snack stops. Attentive to groups wants and needs! Pray you get a good group! Dress warm!!
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 experience was an all around treat for my family and I. The pineapple here was some of the most fresh I have had in my life. They even had a sweet gift shop for souvenirs and take home goodies! I was incredibly happy with the tour and the day with my family. Mahalo Maui Pineapple 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!
I searched all the available tours for the sunrise at Haleakala and found this one wounded the best suited for me and I was not disappointed. We were able to be picked up from our hotel (Hyatt regency on the west side of the island) which was a huge help as me and my husband do not drive. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our driver was Chris who was a huge credit to the tour, was very welcoming. He took the time to ask different groups and couples where they were from and bonded with us. The summit was incredible, you couldn’t believe how high up you were! It does get cold up there but coming from England it was like being back home (so do dress up warm and change later for the towns). Although it was a cloudy sunrise, the experience was still amazing with all the knowledge Chris gave and offering to take amazing photos for us all. It may be a once in a lifetime experience but we still would want to do it all again.
A great day and time - learned about so much history and how special the volcano is to the people of Maui - the driver was very good and made the trip very enjoyable- I highly recommend this trip
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!
Yoshi was amazing! He was warm, friendly and knowledgeable about the start and area. We had a great time!
Quinn was a guide and he was so cool. He took us on the long road around not just to Hana and back. We saw so much and he slowed down or stopped whenever he could for photo ops. The sights were indescribable and seemed to be unlimited! It was a long but full day!
Aloha, how wonderful to hear that. Mahalo for sharing and a hui hou!
On the ride to the summit, we stopped for everyone to be fitted with bicycles and gear. I signed up for a tour. The sunrise at the summit was phenomenal. The ride down however was a bit uncomfortable because I was the only one on the bus. We were mainly watching the bikers, making sure they got down the mountain safely. We stopped in two towns where Rory let me get off and walk around, but it wasnt much of a tour.....it was a bus ride to the sunrise and back. It's not what I paid for but I did get to see the sunrise. Also, my friend was suppose to go but got sick as we left the motel. Eddie was the driver to the summit and had to stop for her. Luckily we hadnt gone far so he returned her to the motel and I did the 'tour' on my own. Rory was the driver coming down and he was great doing what he was supposed to do. I tried to get a refund for my friend to no avail. They said she must have a dr note. Since she wasnt sick enough to go to the dr, she lost her money. It was a beautiful sunrise but all in all I was disappointing in the day. Make sure if you want a tour, you aren't going with bikers. The description did not make that clear.
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!
Preston has to be the most amazing tour guide I've ever had the privilege of touring with! From being knowledgeable, to witty, he's got it all. He wants to ensure that EVERYONE no matter what season it is layers up, wears clothes toed shoes (toe warmers like the ones used in Tahoe would be the best idea ever!) and BRING A BLANKET! Whatever size you want, fluffy, non fluffy donuts matter. But, this awesome tour guide lets you leave you items safely on the bus so all your have to comfortable carry the very few far steps you actually have to walk, is the blanket and your camera for beautiful views. Keep your positive attitude when waking early, plan ahead with an energy drink or snack to keep you going until you reach to Kula Lodge (TRY THE LOCO MOCO JUST TRUST ME) and you'll be good to go!
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!
Can't miss this tour- the top of Haleakala is like a different world compared to the beach!
Loved the tour guide, he was so awesome in knowledge of every part of the journey!
It's really cold, so I think it's best to be well-prepared for the cold, but the sunrise from Haleakalā Volcano is breathtaking and definitely worth seeing. The road to the summit is steep and has cliffs in some places, so it's difficult for amateurs to drive, so I'm really glad I participated.
本当に寒いので防寒対策ばっちりがいいと思いますが、ハレアカラ火山からの朝日は絶景で見る価値ありです。
頂上までの道は険しく所々崖なので素人には運転は難しいので参加して本当によかったです。
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!
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!!
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.
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.
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!
We had a great tour of the pineapple plantation on our last day in Maui. Our guide was Ken and he was fantastic. He provided so much information and history that it really made the tour worth it. The tour is only 1:30 hours which makes it quick and easy in case you have other activities planned that day.
We enjoyed the fresh cut pineapple samples from the field and seeing the different stages of pineapples throughout the fields.
Well worth it. We had a great experience
Excelent tour, the guide (Gustavo) was very nice, really complete tour, I really recommend it.
I was pleasantly surprised with the temptation tours luxury road to Hana experience. Although it was a bit pricey, I felt the entirety of the tour was well worth the amount. I saw everything on east maui that I wanted to see and some more. The tour guides were personal and informative. I was very happy I booked a full guided tour instead of doing a self drive. My partner and I got the full day we dreamt of when visiting the island of Maui!
My partner and I had a wonderful time visiting Haleakala national park! The breakfast was okay, continental option. It was surprisingly cold so pack an extra jacket for your stay. But it truly was an unforgettable experience, I know I will have to return and share this with my children as well one day.
Mahalo Catherine, Thank you for joining us on the Sunrise tour. We look forward to seeing you in the future with your family. We hope you enjoyed your stay in the Islands.
A Hui Hou!
We booked a private Road to Hana Tour with Hola Hola tour group. Mauana was absolutely the most awesome guide! He was a gentleman, funny and full of knowledge regarding the history and culture of Hawaii. By the end of the day, we embraced him as family. It was worth every dollar to book this tour!
Hi Liz! Thank you so much for your awesome review! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and favorite pictures. We love Mana too! He is an amazing guide - full of knowledge and humor. We are so grateful to have him as part of our team. We hope to meet again! Until then... take care! Aloha!
