All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Beyond my expectations! Yama-Pee, our guide, was truly exceptional. With abundant knowledge and experience, along with great attention to detail, I had a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience, for which I am grateful. Watching the sunset from the summit of Haleakalā, exploring the impressively large crater, enjoying the magnificent starry sky, and observing Jupiter through a telescope—each of these moments was a treasured memory that will stay in my heart forever.

期待以上の感動！山ピーガイドさん、さすがでした。知識、経験豊富な上、気配りもあって、人生に一度の素晴らしい体験が出来て、感謝です。ハレアカラ山頂からの夕日、度肝をぬかれるサイズのクレーター見学、素晴らしい星空鑑賞、望遠鏡を覗いて木星観察、どれもこれも、一生心に残る宝物の時間でした。

I really enjoyed having a bright and energetic female guide. As we walked, she explained various things about flowers and plants, making it a fulfilling experience. It was also fun to interact and spend time with people I met for the first time in a friendly atmosphere.

明るく、元気いっぱいの女性ガイドさんが良かったです。歩きながら、花や植物のお話を色々説明して頂き、充実した内容でした。初対面の方々ともフレンドリーに行動を共に出来て楽しかったです。

Family of twelve with a baby. Best experience. Waiters were always there, Joe was amazing! Highly recommend!!

This was probably the worst for quality of food and entertainment. When you pay that much for a luau you should be able to have a choice of what you get served. The potions were small of the decent food. There was way too much raw fish. The other items were cold and tasteless. The entertainment was slow and boring. It is definitely not to children. Better entertainment at the mall.

Great show and dinner. Loved every minute. Worth every dollar.

Captin Steve was great! His three female coworkers lacked enthusiasm for their job in a service oriented business. They served us breakfast and we finally had to ask them to take our plates and glasses after hanging on to them for about tewnty minutes on rough water. Other people's drink glasses were blowing around. Snorkeling was good. Meals were average. I guess if you want a good excursion you will have to stay in Mexico. Every excursion in Mexico that we have been on they go out of their way there to make your day special with great service and appreciation for your dollar. We never got that service or appreciation on any of our Maui excursions. Thank you Steve, you covered for your crew nicely.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time and this was the best sunset and stargazing tour that my friend and I have participated in. Mr. Yoshi was very friendly from start to finish -- he made sure that we had time to eat food, stay hydrated, and rest well as we climbed in elevation. I was originally worried I wouldn't get to get my stamp for my national park passport because of the visitor center closure, but Mr. Yoshi asked the entrance park employee for a stamp on a post-it note, and it made my day! He knew the best places for sunset, and was very knowledgeable about all the stars. We learned so much about the sky, and enjoyed peaceful moments just looking up. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone spending time on Maui!

I am now a HUGE fan of these bikes. I just booked this tour to keep my husband busy and It was the perfect way to start our vacation. K since I can’t remember is beautiful name was an awesome guide. My husband and I were the only ones that signed up for that particular day and to have the guide all to ourselves was a special treat. K was so informative and kept up or slowed down to our pace and we got to hang with the turtles in the area.
I highly recommend adding this water bike tour to your itinerary.

It was my first time in Maui in 25 years, and I’m really glad I had this experience. From the moment we boarded, I felt an exciting thrill as if I was already on an attraction. The weather was great, and the beauty of it all made me forget about everyday life! The clarity of the ocean, the encounters with sea turtles, and the meals on the boat make me want to come back again!

For those who are unsure about Japanese, there is an incredibly powerful Japanese person named Takako. She embodies the energy of Hawaii. She approached me very casually, and she has such a fun personality.

I will definitely come back. MAHALO!!

25年ぶりのマウイでしたが、本当にこの体験をして良かったです。
乗船してからすぐにアトラクションに乗っているかのようなワクワク感で、天気も良く、日頃の現実が忘れられるような美しさです！
海の透明度、ウミガメとの遭遇、船上での食事ともにまた来たいと思います！

日本語に不安の方々へ
Takakoさんという物凄くパワフルな日本人の方がいらっしゃいます。ハワイのエネルギーを溜め込んでいる方です。とてもフランクに話しかけてくれて本当に楽しい人柄の方です。

かならずまた来ます。
MAHALO！！

The ferry was great - a bit expensive at$70 each direction. We were able to see all the highlighted stops on Lana’i in just one day. Fun little town diner for breakfast. We used a Jeep to explore the island - another $200. So, for two of us to explore for one day was about$700. This is our 5th trip to Maui so we were curious to explore a nearby island.

We were interested & curious about the recent history of Lanai - from Dole to Murdock to Ellison. Lucky for us, Josh and his family lived it all & he was kind enough to share with us. Having the right guide makes all the difference. If you decide to go, we hope you are lucky enough to catch a day with Josh.

The only negative is parking at Maalaea harbor. Unless you're on the first trip in the morning at 0630, plan on a long walk from your car to the boat. They use a smartphone payment app for all parking in the harbor. At $1 per hour, the rate isn't bad - but the process of in-putting your credit card & rental car license plate info can be a problem, especially if you're running late. We were there at 0545, began boarding at 0600, and under way at 0630 on the dot. Give yourself plenty of time.

I enjoyed the sunset sinking into the clouds and the starry sky. It was a wonderful experience, and I’m very glad I had it. It was also great to see the stars through the telescope.

雲に沈む夕陽と、星空を楽しめました。
素晴らしい経験が出来てとてもよかったです。
望遠鏡で星を見れたのもよかったです。

Don't worry that it's your first time snorkeling! John will kindly teach you how to drive a kayak, jump out of the middle of the ocean in a kayak and snorkel! If you have a waterproof phone case, it will help you take pictures of beautiful scenery and marine animals during your activities. You can meet monkseals, turtles, cute various fish, and octopus up close! Don't miss the best experience!

My wife and I went here for our honeymoon and werent diasappointed. The venue itself was beautiful, as was all the food and presentations around. It had a very Hawaii vibe and feel. The dancing and chanting by all involved was wonderful and I learned a lot. Met a lot of great people at my table as well. The waiter was awesome and very attentive.

My wife and I had a spectacular day. We got on the boat from the beach in Ka'anapoli Beach and sailed to Lanai. There was plenty of food and drink. We landed ashore on Lanai and had a great couple hours on the beautiful beach. The host provided beach chairs, beach mats, snorkel gear, lifeguards, juice and water, snacks and even sun screen. The beach was great and the water was clear. The reef had a variety of fish to observe while snorkeling.
Then a bbq lunch was provided which was plentiful and delicious. The sail back to Ka'anapoli Beach was very pleasant. Again snacks and endless drinks were provided. Great trip!!

Very beautiful setting and the food, drinks and service was great.

I experienced that Maui is not just about the ocean. The tropical rainforest is something you can't easily see in Japan, so it was great. Jumping into the waterfall was something I was too scared to do, but I think young people should give it a try at least once.

マウイは海だけではないことを、体験しました
熱帯雨林は日本ではなかなか見れないので良かった
滝へのジャンプ、私は怖くてできなかったが、若い人なら一度はチャレンジされたらどうでしょうか。

I had the best stargazing experience of my life. It was a showtime that far exceeded my expectations. I felt the perfect preparation, consideration, and excellent explanations from our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, as well as his deep knowledge of the stars, which made for a wonderful time.

人生最高の星空観賞を経験できました。
想定をはるかに超えるショータイムでした。
ガイドの山内さんの完璧な「準備・気配り・説明の妙・そして星に対する
深い造詣を感じることができ、素晴らしい時間を過ごしました

Not sure it was worth $225 pp but it was a fun time if visiting Maui. One and done for me personally

Everything about the evening luau was wonderful! From the greeting, the music , the setting, the dinner and show!! All the staff was friendly and accommodating, the music set the perfect tone, the setting by the ocean was enchanting, the food was delicious and the show was entertaining! I would highly recommend attending this luau for a piece of authentic Hawaii!

The Maui Gold pineapple, grown at the foot of Haleakalā, is incredibly delicious. Unfortunately, my limited English skills made it difficult for me to understand most of the guide's explanations. I was impressed by how much could be said about just a pineapple. Since I had researched the origins of Maui Gold beforehand, I felt like I understood it to some extent. Everyone else was a traveler from the mainland. I struggled with the knife provided in the condominium to cut the souvenir pineapple, but it tasted even better when chilled than the samples I tried locally.

ハレアカラ山の麓で育ったMaui Goldpineappleは最高に美味しい。
残念ながら英語力が乏しい私には、ガイドさんの説明は殆ど理解出来出来ませんでした。
パイナップルだけであれ程語られるかと感服しました。
事前にマウイゴールドの成り立ちを調べていたので、何となく理解した気分です。
私達以外は全てメインランドの旅行者ばかりでした。
土産のパイナップルは、コンドミニアム備え付けの包丁では苦労しましたが、冷して食べると現地の試食より美味い。

Thank you Sea Maui for a great snorkel adventure .. the crew were amazing!!
You guys go above and beyond!!

We participated as a couple in our 60s. There was no anxiety because the Japanese staff member, Takako, kindly taught us everything. Once on board, we were served juice, bread, and fruit, and then we set off. At Molokini Island, we snorkeled in the beautiful sea, and during the transfer to a spot where we could see turtles, lunch was served. We had the choice of a hamburger or a hot dog. We were able to see turtles as well, and we were very satisfied.

60代の夫婦2人で参加しました。
日本人スタッフのタカコさんが親切に教えてくださったので不安なことはありませんでした。乗船するとジュースとパン、フルーツが配られて、出発です。モロキニ島ではきれいな海でシュノーケル、その後亀が見られるスポットに移動する間に昼食が配られます。ハンバーガーかホットドッグのチョイスでした。亀も見ることができ、大満足でした。

Compared to the scale of various aquariums in Japan recently, it was quite compact. If you are proficient in English, you might be able to read the explanatory texts, but having a Japanese audio tour or QR codes for Japanese explanations could make it more enjoyable.

最近の日本に有るあちこちの水族館の規模に比べると、かなりコンパクトでした。
英語に堪能であれば解説文も読めるでしょうが、日本語オーディオツアーとかQRコードで日本語解説とかが有れば楽しいかも？

Perfect show, perfect menu, perfect seating style throughout the grounds!

A wonderful experience to see Hana, pricey but worth every dime.

Snorkeling will be on many people’s “must-do” activity in Maui, but so should the Sunset and Stargazing tour in Haleakala with Yoshi! I went with my family and we haven’t stopped talking about how incredible the tour was. Yoshi is incredibly personable and every aspect of the tour is so thoughtful. With 20+ years of living in Maui and leading tours of the national park, Yoshi knows the best spots for sightseeing and has great local knowledge to share on the drive up to Haleakala. His state of the art telescopes allow you to see all kinds of constellations and we even got to see Saturn. The complimentary Krispy Crème donuts were a tasty treat and the music selection was so peaceful. I can’t recommend Yoshi and the tour enough. If you’re wanting to see Haleakala, definitely book with Yoshi. Mahalo!

I enjoy the show, the food, I highly recommend it

On my sixth trip to Maui, I finally visited Haleakalā, which I had been curious about for a long time! During the journey, I was told I would regret not coming sooner, and it truly lived up to that expectation with its "star-filled sky" and "natural planetarium."

At the summit, above the clouds, there was nothing to obstruct the stars, and everywhere I looked, there were stars. I was deeply moved by the realization that the light I was seeing had traveled from before I was born.

The constellation explanations were detailed, and I was also taught how to beautifully capture the night sky with my smartphone, allowing me to preserve the breathtaking views both in memory and in photos.

I hope everyone, regardless of age or gender, gets to see that scenery at least once and experience being liberated from the harshness of society. Thank you!

6回目のマウイで、ずっと気になっていたハレアカラ山についに行ってみました！
道中、これまで来なかったことを後悔する、と言われたのですが、まさにその期待を裏切らない「満天の星」「天然のプラネタリウム」でした。
山頂は雲の上なので、星を遮るものは何もなく、どこを見渡しても星。
また、自分が生まれる前の光が今この目に届いているということを実感し、さらに感動しました。
星座の解説も詳しく、スマホで綺麗に星空を撮影する方法も丁寧に教えていただけたため、記憶としても、写真としても絶景を留めることができました。
老若男女問わず、一度はあの景色を見て、殺伐とした社会から解き放たれる経験をしてみて欲しいです。
ありがとうございました！

This was the best tour of my life. You can go by rental car, but there were so many experiences that you can only have on the tour. The tour guide, Yamapi, kindly shared information beyond the tour, so it's better to join early after arriving in Maui. I would love to participate again.

これまでの人生体験で最高のツアーでした。
レンタカーでも行けますが、ツアーでしか体験出来ないことが盛り沢山でした。
ツアーガイドの山ピーさんは、ツアー以外のことも親切に教えてくれるので、マウイ島に到着したら早目に参加した方がお得です。
もう一度、参加したいと思います。
