All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I thought it would be a light meal, but they served a hearty breakfast. In the morning, there were scrambled eggs, sausage, Danish pastries, muffins, and fresh fruit. It was great to have four types of juice, as well as coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. After breakfast, only coffee is available as a hot drink.

The visibility at Molokini was better. Turtle Town was murky, but there were turtles.

You might also see whales along the way. If you're confident you won't get seasick, it might be nice to watch from the upper deck. (It gets really bumpy the higher you go.) For those worried about seasickness, I recommend sitting near a window on the lower deck.

On the way back, they also serve alcohol, so if you still have energy and aren't driving, it might be okay to drink.

軽食かと思いきやしっかりご飯出ました。
朝はスクランブルエッグ、ソーセージ、デニッシュ、マフィンにフレッシュフルーツ。ドリンクもジュースが4種類にコーヒー、紅茶、ココアなど温かい飲み物があって良かった。朝食後は温かい飲み物はコーヒーだけになります。
（乗船までの待ち時間、船上が寒い、特に海から上がった後）

モロキニの方が透明度高かったです。
タートルタウンは濁ってましたが、カメは居ました。

クジラも途中で見えたりします。
酔わない自信がある人は上のデッキで見てると良いかも。
（上に行くほどめちゃくちゃ揺れます）
船酔い心配な人は、下の階で窓の近くに席を取っておく事をお勧めします。

帰りはアルコールの提供もあるので、元気が残っていて、車の運転なければ飲んでもいいかもです。

It was raining on the way to the summit, but since we went to a place higher than the clouds, we saw many rainbows. The weather didn't seem to matter at all.

It was very cold at the summit at night, but they lent us coats and blankets, so with sufficient cold protection, we were able to observe the Milky Way and many stars, which made us very satisfied.

山頂までの間雨が降っていましたが、雲より高い場所に行くため、たくさんの虹が見えました。天気は全く気にしなくて良いみたいでした。

山頂夜間はとても寒いですがコート、毛布を貸していただけ、十分な防寒対策の上天の川やたくさんの星を観察でき、非常に満足しました。

Yoshi was a wonderful guide, and he took great care of us on all those winding roads. He thought of everything and provided us water, coats, chairs and even telescopes so we could see the starts. He even helped us set up our phones so we could take pictures of the night sky. This tour would be a must for those visiting Maui.

I was attracted to participate because of the opportunity to connect with nature. I wasn't really eager to jump into the waterfall pool, but the people around me were kind and encouraged me, so I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be less scary than I expected, and I had a lot of fun. I felt a sense of accomplishment and, for some reason, I felt very refreshed. I didn't think it would be this interesting.

自然に親しめることが魅力で参加しました。滝壺に飛び込むなんて、本当はやりたくない…と乗り気でなかったのですが、まわりの人たちが親切にしてくれて励ましてくれたので、思いきってやってみようと決意しました。思っていたよりも怖くなくて、ワクワクして楽しかったです。達成感があり、何故かとてもスッキリした気持ちになりました。こんなに面白いとは思っていませんでした。

Saw a few whales, good food, interesting information shared.

We really enjoyed our trip to the top to view both the sunset and the stars. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating--he saw to our every need. He supplied chairs, blankets, hot tea and donuts (bonus). He also brought two telescopes and was able to show us so much more than we had ever seen before. Truly and incredible experience. Bring food (dinner) and warm clothing.

My wife and I came with our son and his wife and had an incredible time. Be sure to come super hungry because the family style meal is huge! They were super accommodating to my wife’s food sensitivities as well as our DiL’s vegetarian diet.

Great place to propose out at garden of the gods.
Four seasons the break is not open to public.

I signed up mainly to see the sunset, but unfortunately, due to heavy traffic, the time to enjoy the sunset was shortened. However, the stargazing afterward was wonderful, truly like a natural planetarium, and I was very moved. The guide, Yamapi, was also interesting, and although it was a long travel time, I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. If I have the chance, I would like to participate again and recommend it to my family.

夕焼けをメインで観に行きたく申し込んだが、あいにくの大渋滞で夕焼けを楽しむ時間は短かくなりました。ただその後の星空鑑賞が素晴らしく、まさに天然のプラネタリウムでとても感動しました。ガイドのヤマピーさんの話も面白く、長い移動時間ではあったが飽きずに楽しめました。機会があればまた参加し、家族にも勧めたいと思います。

Josh gave us a great tour of Lani. We enjoyed seeing the beach and features of the island.

I loved doing this. It was beautiful and inspiring to be above the clouds for a sunset. The bus tour was lengthy, but I wasn’t brave enough to drive my rental up a mountain. Also it was great to get some narration from the driver. Now I know what to expect, and I’ll be brave enough to drive it myself next time I visit.

We absolutely loved everything about this Luau - the food, service, the music, and definitely the dancers!! Worth the money and we highly recommend this five star luau. The dancers are incredible and the music was outstanding!! Breathtaking views and everything was perfect!!

This was a standard whale watching experience. Boat was nice and clean. Crew was friendly and fun . We didn’t have much luck seeing whales, but it was early in the migration season. If nothing else then it a a nice boat ride around beautiful Maui.

It was a valuable time where I could experience something new. The service was also attentive and wonderful. Thank you very much.

新しいことを体感出来る価値ある時間でした。サービスもきめ細やかで素晴らしかったです。ありがとうございました。

The event was a very nicely performed Polynesian event with drums, Hula dancing and dancing with flame torches.

Booked the SUV trip around Lana'i. Our driver, Josh, was fun (even with a hurt ankle). He was informative and had loads of family and local stories. We lucked out with a very clear day. Saw a dolphin, whales, turkeys, deer, frankolins, and a beautiful views.

Right from the original phone call, until we were dropped back off at the ferry. The staff was great. Their response time is quick. The instructions they sent are very clear, we had no questions to where to go, what was going to happen, etc.

Despite everything saying advanced swimmer only, I was with two people who could not swim. Both of them required rescue by the guide. I spent the majority of the time bobbing in the water by the beach - waiting for them to get swim lessons. There are many rocks there and I ended up breaking my toe while getting slammed by waves. I was able to scooter around the cove twice even with a throbbing toe. I’m sure the guide could feel that I was irritated and I wanted the experience to end ASAP. The reason for the bad review is that no one even followed up or offered me some money back. Take home point: I would not spend my hard earned vacation money on this again.

*** Refund was issued after Veltra/Hawaii Activities reached out. This was very nice of the owner, but it doesn't change my experience and I did not edit my original review.

The scenery was absolutely wonderful, and of course, Yamapi's guidance was thorough and enjoyable. I'm really glad I participated! I want to go again!

大変に景色が素晴らしかったのはもちろん、やまぴーさんのガイドが丁寧で楽しく、参加して本当に良かったです!また行きたい‼︎

My total cost for this excursion was $242.30. It was not worth that price. The crew was sarcastic and snappy. They did lighten up as the morning went on, but my first impression stayed. Fortunately I’m a seasoned swimmer and snorkeling/snuba is easy, so I didn’t require any assistance. Lastly, it’s a big money grab without much service in return. I understand they are a business, but I cannot understand why they can’t pay their employees? Why do they guilt trip you into having to tip every chance they get? Even the emails leading up to it state the expected gratuity. TL:DR Molokini crater is amazing - you should go! Unless you’re dying to try snuba, then go with a different company and have fun.

I encountered whales three times while moving to different locations. It was very lucky!! However, even though I parked my car in the designated parking lot, I returned to find a no-parking ticket and a fine of $18!! Is this a targeted attack on rental cars? I wonder if others experienced the same. If so, they should explain in advance that there are fees for public parking.

クジラは場所を変えて移動し３回遭遇しました。大変ラッキーでした！！　但し、指定された駐車場に車を入れたのに、戻ると駐車禁止と罰金18$も取られた！！レンタカー狙い打ちか？　他の方も同じだろうか？　ならば事前に公共駐車場の料金かかる事を説明すべきだ。

My husband and I did the sunset cruise on my birthday during our trip to Maui and I highly recommend it. The staff were amazing and made sure all of the guests were well taken care of. The views were unbelievable. The food and drinks were abundant and tasty. We would definitely do it again if we make it back to Maui.

This was a hit for me. Accommodations (vehicle, drinks, food) were excellent. Tour guide knowledge was excellent. They didn’t beg/guilt trip for tips like every other guided tour in Hawaii which made me happy — this made me more inclined to tip nicely. Don’t hesitate to book this because the guided narration enriches the experience so much. If you’re an adventure seeker, there are two decent options to get wet — one black sand beach at the state park and one waterfall pool.

Yoshi was a fantastic tour guide. He’s been doing this for 20 years so he knows the perfect spot to watch the sunset and stargaze. His telescopes were amazing! I don’t want to spoil everything but will leave you with this…just do it, book it, you won’t regret it. An absolute must do!

Josh was an excellent tour guide for the half day 4x4 trekker!! Enjoyed the views as much as the stories!! Snorkeling was excellent!! Been told all you need is one day to see Lana’i but he changed our minds and we will definitely be back!!

Josh, our guide, picked us up right at Manele Bay Harbor. Got a quick tour of Lanai City and stopped for coffee, then headed to Shipwreck Beach. The drive there was almost as cool as the beach itself. Josh grew up on the island and had some amusing stories he shared as we drove. We continued on to the Garden of the Gods, it's totally other-worldly. We made a quick stop at the Cat Sanctuary, before catching the ferry back to Maalaea Harbor.

My family enjoyed our entire experience at Old Lahaina Luau. The service was exceptional. All the different courses of food introduced us to Hawaii. We enjoyed trying many of the different drink options over the course of the evening. The hula show was informative and captivating. A highlight of our trip!

Lovely location, fabulous food, super service, entertaining entertainment. We are glad we had premium seating. But, every seat is fantastic.

Yoshi was so enthusiastic & the tour was so well organised. The sunset was spectacular! But the stars & planets he showed us made our night esp Saturn & Jupiter - just WOW!

I had an absolutely wonderful visit at the aquarium! It is beautiful, well kept up, and affordable for all! My only problem was with the parking, to me it was confusing! I would definitely go back, beautiful!

We loved the place , everything is so interested and educational, our only complaint is parking is a little expensive…
