All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I saw the beauty of Molokini Island on TV and thought I should visit. I was a little worried about getting seasick, but with the guidance of our guide, MIHO, I was able to enjoy the experience until the end. At the point where we could see sea turtles, I was satisfied to see them swimming leisurely up close, but my husband unfortunately missed the chance, so he says he wants to try again. Thank you, MIHO!

テレビでモロキニ島の美しさを見て、行ってみようと思いました。
船酔いしないか少し心配でしたが、ガイドのMIHOさんの案内で最後まで楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。海がめの見えるポイントでは海がめがすぐ近くで悠々と泳いでる姿を見ることができたので満足でしたが、主人はタイミング悪く見ることが出来なかったので、またリベンジしたいと言っています。MIHOさんお世話になりました！

The transparency of the water at Molokini Island is truly amazing. You can see the fish swimming clearly even from the boat.

We had a Japanese guide named Takako, which made it easy to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

I think the price is a great deal considering breakfast, lunch (the hamburger is delicious!), and non-alcoholic drinks (soft drinks included).

P.S. Due to the winds typical of Maui, there can be some rocking of the boat. You might experience a bit of seasickness...

「モロキニ島」海の透明度が、本当に凄いです。船の上からでも泳いでいる魚が、しっかり見えるほど透きとおってます。
日本人ガイドのタカコさんがいたので、安心してツアーを楽しむ事が出来ました。
朝食、昼食（ハンバーガーが美味い‼︎）、アルコールフリー（ソフトドリンクも）で、この値段はお得だと思います。
PS.マウイ島に付きものの風の影響で、船の揺れがあります。多少の船酔いはあるかも…

I went to the summit of a 3000-meter mountain for the first time in my life. I thought it was about the same height as Mount Fuji, but we smoothly ascended while enjoying the wonderful scenery by car. The summit is quite cold, but with jackets, gloves, and warm tea provided, we were able to spend our time comfortably. There were frequent stops for restrooms, so there was no need to worry about that.
The guide, Mr. Yamauchi, is a very experienced veteran, knowledgeable about the stars, and reliable, allowing us to create one of the wonderful memories of our lives.
I highly recommend this tour to everyone; I believe it’s a fantastic experience that should be done at least once in a lifetime if possible.

人生初めての3000メートルの山の山頂に行きました。富士山と同じ位の高さかと思いますが、車で素晴らしい景色を見ながらスイスイ登って行きました。山頂はかなり寒いですが、ジャケットと手袋、温かいお茶を用意してくださり、快適に過ごすことが出来ます。トイレも頻回に止まってくださるので、トイレの心配もいりません。
ガイドの山内さんは大変なベテランで、星空の知識も詳しく、頼もしく、素晴らしい人生の想い出の一つを作ることが出来ました。
これは皆さんにオススメする、可能であれば人生に一度は体験すべき素晴らしいツアーだと思います。

I do not recommend this for people who are prone to seasickness. This is because I had an unexpected experience of getting seasick while snorkeling in the waves, and even though I drank a seasickness prevention drink beforehand, it didn't help at all, making the trip back and forth quite painful and disappointing. I might have been able to prevent it by taking seasickness medication, but I don't have the courage to try again. The spot where I was looking forward to seeing sea turtles was also dependent on the weather, so I couldn't see them. I think it's better for those who get seasick to find a good beach where they can snorkel from there. The guide was a kind person.

船酔いしやすい人にはオススメしません。
なぜなら、シュノーケルをしながら海の波に酔う、と言う予想外な体験をし、船酔い予防のドリンクを事前に飲みましたが、全く効かず、行きも帰りも辛いだけとなってしまい残念でした。
酔い止めの薬を飲めば防げたのかも知れませんが、もう一度トライする勇気はありません。
楽しみにしていた海亀が見れるスポットも、自然の天候次第とのことで見られず、船酔いする方は、シュノーケルが出来る良いビーチを探し、そこからされる方が良いと思います。
ガイドの方は優しい方でした。

Fantastic! Food was great, service was awesome and the whole experience was terrific. A very traditional Hawaiian Luau.

Great day of snorkeling and sailing, Crew was professional, friendly, and competent.

Only helicopter helps you to enjoy the landscape of valcano and the coastline! the instant conversation with pilot is a remarkable experience!

It was good, not great. Show was good. Food was good. Seating was tight and overall it was a little over-priced.

My first time on Maui! First, I want to shout out that our guide, Yamauchi-san, also known as Yamachan, was amazing! On the way to Haleakalā, we started with fun conversations in the car, filled our stomachs at Krispy Kreme, and had the chance to choose sushi for dinner at a supermarket, as well as enjoy a shop selling special coffee and honey. We took our time at each place, allowing us to enjoy everything without feeling rushed.

As we ascended to the summit, the temperature dropped, but they provided us with jackets, gloves, blankets, and warm tea. The sunset was absolutely beautiful!!! I could forget the cold and just keep watching. Yamachan's timing in preparing everything according to the sunset was impressive, showcasing years of experience. We had so much fun eating the sushi we bought in the car and chatting until it got completely dark!

The excitement of looking up at the starry sky was incredible! The moment we all looked up together was truly moving!!!! This was my first time seeing such a star-filled sky!!! It was really touching!! They even showed us various stars through a telescope, which was fantastic. We could sit back and enjoy the view! Yamachan's stories were also very touching.

I hope many people get to experience looking up at the starry sky with their loved ones and hear Yamachan's stories. It was truly the best time. I participated in this tour just one day before returning home, and it became a wonderful memory. I would love to join again when I visit Maui. Thank you so much!

初めてのマウイ島！まず声を大にしてお伝えしたいのいがガイドの山内さんこと山ちゃんのガイド最高です！ハレアカラに到着するまでの道中、車内で楽しいお話から始まり、クリスピードーナッツ屋でお腹を満たし、途中スーパーで夜に食べるお寿司を選んだり買い物ができたり、特別なコーヒーや蜂蜜が販売している売店も楽しむことができたり一つ一つの場所でゆっくりと時間をとってくださり時間に余裕をもって楽しむことができました。
頂上にいくにつれて気温は下がりますが上着や手袋、毛布、温かいお茶もご用意してくれています。
サンセットはもうこれはこれは美しい！！！寒さなんて忘れてずーと見ていられます。
陽の沈む時間に合わせて色々準備してくださる山ちゃんのタイミング、長年の経験は本当にすごいです。真っ暗になるまで車内で買ったお寿司を食べたりお話をしたりすごく楽しかったです！
いざ星空を見上げるまではわくわく！せーので見上げた瞬間は本当に感動しました！！！！こんな満天の星空は人生初です！！！本当に感動します！！望遠鏡で色々な星も見せてくださったりこれまた最高です。
椅子に腰をかけながらゆっくり見れます！山ちゃんの話もとても感動しました。
大切な方と一緒に星空を見上げて、山ちゃんのお話を是非沢山の方に聞いて欲しいなと思いました。
本当に最高の時間でした。帰国1日前にこのツアーに参加させて頂きましたが、最後に本当にいい思い出となりました。またマウイに訪れた際は参加したいです。本当にありがとうございました。

The sunset and night view were amazing. The jackets and blankets were appreciated, but it's best to dress warmly. Compared to the time spent viewing the craters and Haleakalā, it felt like we spent a long time shopping for souvenirs. It would have been even better if we could have visited one more sightseeing spot instead of spending so much time at the supermarket.

夕焼けも夜景も最高でした。ジャケットや毛布はありがたかったですが、たくさん着込みましょう。
クレーターとかハレアカラを見る時間に比較すると、お土産を買う時間が長かったかな。スーパー訪問を減らしてもう一箇所くらい観光スポットに連れてってくれるともっと良いかも。

I researched various blogs in advance, and I highly recommend this for those visiting Lahaina on Maui. The staff's service, the hula dancers, and the food were all satisfying!! Definitely check out Old Lahaina Luau.

事前に色々なブログを参考に決めましたが、マウイ島ラハイナに行かれる方にはオススメです。
スタッフの対応、フラダンサー、食事、全てが満足でした！！是非、オールドラハイナルアウへ。

We participated as a family of five.
Listening to the wonderful stories from our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, while stargazing is something the kids will definitely remember for a lifetime!
This is an absolute must-do on a tour of Maui!
I'm not great at expressing it in words, so please be sure to experience it for yourself!

家族5人での参加です。
ガイドの山内さんの素敵な話を聞きながらの星空観測は子供たち一生懸命忘れないと思います！
マウイ島のツアーでこれは絶対に外せないです！
言葉で伝えるの下手くそなので、是非体験してください！

I had this tour in the evening after visiting Molokini Island in the morning, and I was surprised to find out it was the same boat! Our Japanese female guide, Takako, was also surprised! We were able to have a lot of fun conversations and spent a wonderful time together! The dinner buffet was delicious too! I might definitely come back!

朝からモロキニ島で夕方からこのツアーでしたが、行ってビックリ！同じ船でした(笑)
日本人女性ガイドのタカコさんもビックリ！
いろいろと楽しいお話もでき、素敵な時間が過ごせました！ディナーブッフェも美味しかったです！
こちらリピ確定かも！

The transparency was still incredible! The amount of fish was decent! The red pipe sea urchin was beautiful. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious! I highly recommend this tour!

相変わらず透明度がハンパなかったです！
魚の量はまずまず！赤色のパイプウニもキレイでした。昼食のハンバーガーがとても美味しかったです！
オススメのツアーですよー。

Seeing the sunrise come up over the clouds was a spectacular site! Truly a once in a lifetime moment. It was super cold! I thought I was being silly packing gloves and a toboggan in with my luggage but I appreciated them once I was at 10,000 feet. Our tour guide driver was the best! I remembered so much information he shared about the history and facts of the island.

Everything was great. The team was very helpful, friendly and funny.
We really love Molokini snorkel/snuba site. The turtle town was not that impressive though. We expected to see lots of turtles, but saw only one.

This was a very nice trip to take if you've never driven the road to Hana. There are some 600 turns and 57 one lane bridges, which seemed crazy in a rental car. Downside being If you want to stay and explore - you can't. Beyond that our tour guide, Bill, was very knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting facts. In addition to the Lava Tube Cave (which was very cool!) we also saw the black sand beach and a few waterfalls. Also the swim is cold but refreshing! They feed you so besides snacks you really don't need anymore than what they list when you register. If you get car sick, makes sure to bring something for that!

During my recent trip to Maui, I took a day trip to Lanai, a place I had always wanted to visit. Since there weren't any tours to Lanai that fit my plans, I used the ferry that departs from Lahaina Harbor. There is a paid shuttle available at the port of Lanai, which I used to explore Lanai City and the Four Seasons Hotel. Next time, I definitely want to stay on Lanai and enjoy a more leisurely visit.

今回マウイ島に旅行に行った際、いつか行ってみたいと思っていたラナイ島に日帰りで行きました。自分のプランに合うラナイ島ツアーはなかったため、ラハイナ港から出ているフェリーを利用しました。ラナイ島の港には有料のシャトルが出ており、そのシャトルでラナイシティやフォーシーズンホテル内を散策しました。今度はぜひラナイ島で宿泊してゆっくりと滞在したいと思いました。

Came to Maui for my honeymoon and of course had to see a luau. We had originally booked another luau but heard great things about the royal Lahaina so we decided to change it last minute. They were able to seat us in the second row as VIP. The ocean view was breathtaking, the dancing was amazing and the dancers were gorgeous. Unlimited food and drinks made it that much more fun. It rained during the luau but it was definitely an experience my fiancé and I will never forget. Would definitely recommend it to everyone!

This was breathtaking. Our tour guide Nettie was spectacular. She made the tour outstanding. Her positive attitude and her story telling was amazing.

I deeply realized that there are many moving experiences in the world that you can only understand by experiencing them. Thank you for a wonderful time. When I close my eyes, it feels like a sky full of stars appears.

経験してみないとわからない感動が世の中にはたくさんあるのだなとしみじみ思いました。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。
目を瞑ると満天の星が浮かんでくるようです。

We thoroughly enjoyed this! Crew was super friendly and accommodating. Took care of everything and the spots we went to had plenty to see. Food was good as well with ice cream dessert on the way back c'mon! Highly recommended for the money!

I booked thinking I would be going to Molokini Island. It's an afternoon tour. However, I ended up at a rocky area on Maui, about 20 minutes from the port. I thought we would go to Molokini Island, but it turned out this was the end of the tour. There were some corals, but the main inhabitants were just black triggerfish. It seemed like this was the so-called Coral Garden. The title of the tour was misleading.

モロキニ島に行くものと思って予約しました。午後スタートのコースです
でも、ついたのは、港から20分くらいのマウイ島の岩場でした。
ここからモロキニ島に行くと思ったら ココで終わりだって
サンゴがそこそこありましたが、いっぱいいるのは、黒いモンガラばっかり
ここが、コーラルガーデンってところのようでした。
ツアーのタイトルがまぎらわしい

Good luau. Little cheesy but good food and atmosphere

Hawaii is perfect for snorkeling! I have done it many times before, but I have never had a chance to get so close to sea creatures. Molokini Island is a moon shaped underwater volcano crater and it is one of the most famous snorkeling destinations in Hawaii. Hawaiians take good care of their ocean and have many rules to obey in it and one of them in not to touch anything in the water, which I just loved, you can get as close as possible but still have to respect animals. It is very nice to see that animals are totally relaxed here and would really come close to you if you dont attempt to jump on them. We had an amazing team, we had 2 stops for snorkling and the experience was just magical. Maybe you should consider to take a heli tour around there as well, as the views from above are just amazing and give you a real chance to enjoy the moon shape of the island! I twas a fantastic tour and I totally recommend everyone to get on it!

Yam P was very good at talking and it was fun the whole time, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to bad weather. I want to try again, but I wonder when I can go... That was the only disappointing part. It was nice to stop by the Claw Lodge, visit Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and go to the supermarket as well. I'm not sure if the starry sky was affected by the weather, but it wasn't that impressive... just as I expected. I've participated in a similar sunset and starry sky tour at Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island, and that one was definitely more beautiful and moving. If I get the chance to go again, I might want to try for a redo. The guide, Yam P, was really great, so I would like to request him again!

山Ｐさんはとても話し上手でずっと楽しくて良かったのですが、肝心のサンセット、天候が悪く見れませんでした。またリベンジしたいのですが、いつ行けるのやらです。。。そこだけが残念でした。途中クラロッジに寄ったり、クリスピークリームドーナツに寄ったり、スーパーにも行けて良かったです。星空は天候のせいなのかは分かりませんが・・・感動はさほどで。。。思った通りでした。ハワイ島のキラウェア火山で同じようなサンセット＆星空ツアーに参加したことがありますが、そちらの方が断然綺麗で感動しましたよ。また行けるときがあればリベンジしようかな。ガイドの山Ｐさんはすごく良かったのでまたお願いしたいです！！

The dinner cruise was really fun and relaxing. As soon as you get on you have drinks available and the staff are really nice. The food selection was okay, nothing too spectacular. The drinks were okay as well. We got a Mai tai when we left the port and we also were given 2 more drinks throughout the cruise. It was a beautiful cruise and the sunset was gorgeous.

This was a great way to wind down our vacation trip to Maui. Very relaxing and the crew were great.

very informative cruise! saw a lot and the captain stayed out longer due to some very interesting activity with a mother whale and 2 male whales that were creating a lot of activity above the water as well as under.

It is certainly a beautiful place, but not to the extent of being the best. Usually, I don't have much trouble with English, but I could hardly understand the English of this guide. Also, while we were in the car, he kept talking endlessly like Ichiro Furudate, but I would have appreciated a little bit of quiet time as well.

確かに美しい所だけれど、最高、という程でも無い。
普段、英語でそれほど困らないのだが、このガイドの方の英語は全く、といって良い程聞き取れなかった。また、車に乗っている間、古舘 伊知郎のように、延々としゃべり続けていたが、すこし静寂の時間も欲しかった。
