Maui
Snorkel in comfort and be treated like royalty. Huge boat, plenty of room for everyone. A place to upstairs to get sun or a place downstairs to shade yourself. Clean restrooms on board. Place to change out of those wet clothes. Everything available from snorkel gear, wet suits and cameras! Lots of delicious food. Just fabulous. This is a must do if you want a great snorkel adventure.
It was an entertaining intimate luau with crowd participation. We did the show and cocktail only option since we are not big eaters. It would have been nice to know they close the bar when the show starts so we were bamboozled on the drinks. Show was not very long but very good.
The crew of the Trilogy III made us feel welcome from the start and helped everyone have a blast snorkeling! We made two long stops in nearby bays, th second of which yielded spectacular swims with sea turtles. Couldn't be happier!
Fortunately, a Japanese guide welcomed us. We received canned juice and snacks.
Although we mostly saw whales from a distance, we were able to see a few up close. At one point, a whale splashed right next to the boat, which was thrilling.
There were several whale watching companies at Lahaina Harbor. Since it was within walking distance from our hotel, I checked the location of the counter in advance while taking a stroll, so we were able to find it easily on the day of the tour.
Seeing Maui from the sea was also a wonderful memory.
ラッキーなことに日本人ガイドさんが出迎えてくださいました。
缶ジュースとスナックをいただきました。
クジラは遠目が多かったが、何頭か見ることができました。
一度だけ船のすぐ横でしぶきをあげてくれて興奮しました。
ラハイナ港にはホエールウォッチングの会社がいくつもありました。
滞在ホテルから港まで徒歩圏だったので、事前に散歩がてら
カウンターの場所を確認しておいたので、当日は迷わず行けました。
マウイ島を海上から見ることができたのもいい思い出です。

This was a good sunset cruise. The food was decent. I would do it again.
Awesome trip! We saw lots of dolphins!
Lunch was delicious. The captain was very knowledgeable!
We had a great trip. The crew took care of all our needs. There was plenty of tasty food and endless drinks. Then at the end a free cab ride home.
After a considerable delay getting cruise ship clearance from US customs and all passengers being able to leave ship to connect with relevant Shore tours - finally able to catch up with Gus our tour driver. VELTRA and Gus so understanding re the delays and adjusted our Tour accordingly to maximise our time on island. Really appreciated. In the end we had a great day and got to see most of Road to Hanna. Got to appreciate true beauty of the countryside with good and relevant commentary and time spent at relevant places of interest. Banana bread was good too!!
Hi Wolfgang! What a great surprise! Thank you for the awesome review! We too appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Immigration and customs almost never happens in Maui. We both were caught blindsided, but it ended up being a wonderful day! We wish you both many more moments of joy, love & laughter together... warmest aloha, the Holo Holo Gang!
I had heard the rumors, but I was truly satisfied with the wonderful guide☆ They created a fun atmosphere and their attentiveness was top-notch. There were also some touching stories, which made it even better. Next time, if the opportunity arises, I would like to bring my family along. Thank you very much.
噂には聞いておりましたが、
本当に素敵なガイドさんで大満足でした☆
楽しい雰囲気にしてくれますし、
気配りも最高。
そして感動する話もあって最高でした。
次回、ご縁があれば、家族を連れていきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I used this for my honeymoon. Although we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to strong winds, we enjoyed the incredibly beautiful sea. If there's a next time, I will definitely repeat this!
新婚旅行で利用しました。風が強くてモロキニ島には行けませんでしたが、最高に綺麗な海を満喫しました。次回があればまたリピートします！

Larry the tour guide talked way to much. He pointed out every leaf and flower we passed by and then when he started talking about his personal life half way through the tour i really just wanted to get off somewhere. It would have been nice to be able to talk to my husband about the things we seen and point out to each other but Larry was talking so loud we couldn't even here each other. And it wasn't just us that didn't like not being able to talk to each other most other couples sitting near us thought the same. But some of the information we hears about was interesting but most was just nonsense . And also would have been nice to know that we couldn't go swimming. We and alot of other couples wore their swim suits under our clothes and if we would have known that we weren't going swimming we would have wore more comfortable clothing for that long ride. Next time instead of a tour we will take the road to haha on our own in a rental car.
It was a great cruise. We both enjoyed the meal and the music was phenomenal. We met another couple we were sitting with and had a great conversation. We definitely recommend this dinner cruise to anyone who visits Maui!!
We had a great experience! The waterfalls at the original hike were not flowing due to not enough rain so our guide took us to some alternate falls and they were amazing! The road to Hana was breath taking!!
The first stop where the boat docked was at the center of a crescent-shaped island, where we snorkeled. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and we saw many tropical fish.
At the second stop, we were able to see a large sea turtle up close. Both times, we had plenty of time to relax and float around in the sea.
Breakfast, lunch, and alcoholic drinks were provided, and the food service was satisfying. There were three types of local beer from Maui. There were also cocktails available. All-you-can-drink! The beer after playing in the sea was delicious, a delight for beer lovers.
It seemed that there were a total of 140 participants on the same boat, but there were only us and one other family as Japanese participants. The Japanese female guide was polite and taught us various things, and she was also very approachable, which was really nice.
船が止まる一箇所目、三日月の形の島の中身の部分で、まずシュノーケル。とてもきれいな海で、南国の魚をたくさん見れました。
二箇所目で、大きいウミガメを近くで見れました。
2回とも十分時間を取ってくれて、のんびり海で浮かんで遊べました。
朝食、昼食、アルコールも飲めて、食のサービスも満足でした。
マウイ島の地ビールは3種類ありました。カクテル？もありました。飲み放題！海で遊んだあとのビール美味しかったです、ビール好きにはたまらないです。
総勢を140名の参加者が同じ船に乗っていたようですが、
日本人参加者は私達と、もうひと組の家族のみ。
日本人女性のガイドさんが丁寧で色々教えてくださり、また話しやすい感じの良い方だったので、それもすごく良かったです。

Gary, our tour guide, was fun and very knowledgeable about the island he grew up on and shared with us. Good time and good company.
This hike takes you through the rainforest side of Maui. Our guide, Sarah, was very knowledgeable. She was able to answer our questions about the plants and animals along our hike. The waterfalls were beautiful. The jumps into the pools were a lot of fun and the guides gave good instruction on jumping which made me feel confident. The food was substantial for the duration of the hike. We were provided bananas and pineapple, both which were delicious. I had the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which was hearty for a PB&J. My husband had the turkey sandwich, and the slice of turkey was surprisingly thick making for a filling meal. Take advantage of the bug spray they provide. My husband didn't get bit, while I, not being as diligent with coverage, got a few bites. This was the last activity we decided to add to our itinerary and it turned out to be our favorite tour of our vacation.
The Pride of Maui Molokini Snorkel Cruise was a great snorkel package. There were two snorkel locations, provided meal, drinks, miscellaneous items available to use or rent (see below), and the information from the optional 5-minute class gave some useful tips for the subsequent snorkeling we later did on our own on our trip.
The waters by Molokini were so clear, it was unbelievable how far through the water you can see. Turtle Town waters were less clear than Molokini but had more varied sea life. Whales were breaching along our path to the crater.
I wasn't expecting much from the barbecue but it was surprisingly tasty and filling. They offered neoprene suits to rent. A variety of underwater camera and camera accessories could be rented. Waist floatation and noodles were available for use. Environmentally-friendly sunscreen was also provided. There was a life guard nearby who would let you know when a turtle was in the area at Turtle Town. The slide on the boat was also fun.
The Old Lahaina Luau was a wonderful addition to our Maui honeymoon itinerary. The evening encompassed many of the Hawaiian traditions we hoped to experience while visiting. The food was excellent and there were plenty of dishes to choose from. There were also a good amount of drink options. The entertainment was fantastic. There were so many small details that made the evening even more special. We also appreciated the banana bread we were gifted at the end of the night. We had it for a late night snack a couple of nights after the event and it still tasted yummy. The service from the staff was friendly. We parked in the overflow lot which was a convenient location from the luau. We recommend this luau.
The Yamapi guide is fun! They also provide details about Haleakalā. The sunset isn't just about the sun setting; there are explanations about the color gradients in the sky and the Earth's formation, which were very educational. I can't go to Maui often, but this is a tour I want to join again next time. The sushi in the bento was delicious!
やまぴーガイドは楽しい！ハレアカラの細かい部分も教えていただけます。サンセットとは日が落ちるだけじゃなく、空の色のグラデーションや地球の作りなども説明があり勉強になりました。マウイ島はなかなか行けないけど次回も参加したいツアーです
お弁当のお寿司美味しかったなぁ〜

My husband, my sister and I just got back from Maui yesterday. The highlight of our week-long vacation was our trip to Lanai and our tour with Bruce. We have been sharing our wonderful experience with the family. The trip is well worth the price and Bruce gave us lots of information about the island. Lots of fun!
We participated as a family of four, and we were extremely satisfied with our half-day tour, thanks to our guide, Yamauchi (Yama-chan). At the Krispy Kreme store where we gathered, Yama-chan's excellent talk created a sense of camaraderie among the participants. To acclimatize to the altitude, we aimed for 3055 meters while taking breaks. On the way, when we stopped at a supermarket to buy sushi for dinner, I cleverly got Kona coffee at a discount using Yama-chan's card. (When I got home and drank it, it turned out to be delicious coffee!)
Yama-chan's talk in the car was entertaining, and I kept saying "Wow!" at the stories I was hearing for the first time. After witnessing a magnificent sunset, we were treated to a sky full of stars! Everyone was captivated by the detailed explanations using a laser pointer. Did you know that the Big Dipper actually has eight stars? This tour was not only about the beauty of nature but also about the charm of Yama-chan, who is full of humanity. My whole family wants to visit Yama-chan again.
家族４人で参加、もう何といっても山内さん（山ちゃん）のガイドに大満足の半日でした。最初に集合したクリスピードーナッツの店でツアー参加者の紹介、山ちゃんの絶妙なトークで連帯感が生まれました。気圧に慣らす為、休憩を取りながら３０５５mを目指します。途中スーパーで夕食のお寿司を買う時、私はちゃっかりコナコーヒーを山ちゃんのカードでディスカウントして貰って調達しました。（帰って飲んだら、これが大当たり！の美味しいコーヒーでした。）
車内での山ちゃんのトークが面白く、初めて聞く話に「へぇ～」の連発。素晴らしい日没を見た後の満天の星！！レーザーポインターを使ったマニアックな解説にみんな釘付けでした。北斗七星はホントは八星ですって！自然の素晴らしさは勿論人間味溢れる山ちゃんの魅力にはまったツアーでした。家族全員また山ちゃんに会いに行きたいです。

We participated in this for our honeymoon. My husband speaks English, but I thought it would be reassuring to have a Japanese guide, so we signed up. Our guide, Takako, was a wonderful person who helped us a lot, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. The sea was very beautiful, and we saw many fish. We were very satisfied to see three sea turtles up close, so much so that we felt like we were too close and had to back away from them. There was a slide from the boat into the sea, which was surprisingly fun, and I ended up going down it multiple times like a child! There was also a shower on board, and since the weather was nice, it wasn't cold at all. We had a delicious hamburger for lunch, and at the end, they served alcohol, which I thought was a great deal for the price.
新婚旅行で参加しました。
主人は英語が出来るのですが、日本人のガイドさんがいると安心と思い申し込みました。
ガイドのタカコさんがとても素敵な方で色々と助けて下さりとても安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
船は結構揺れるので酔い止めは飲んで行った方が良いです。
海はとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見られました。ウミガメもとても近くで3匹も見られてとても満足です。むしろ近すぎてウミガメから逃げるぐらいでした。船の上から海に落ちる滑り台があり意外と面白くて子どものように何度もやってしまいました！
上がるとシャワーもあり天気も良かったので寒くなかったです。
おいしいハンバーガーの昼食と最後にアルコールも出てこの値段は安いと思いました。

Although we did see many whales, nothing was comparable to the impressive photo's shown in add brochures. You well need a nice set of binoculars to see the detail in sales brochures. All we saw were distance tail and fin flops although some say they saw a baby come out of the water. We enjoyed just setting on the beach watching the whales in the evening as the actual tour....An underwhelmed Okie!
What a delight!! So much fun! Kicked myself for never doing before but will definitely do again!!
We had a wonderful time! The food was good, atmosphere perfect! The performance was better this time than the last time! We never tired of it!
The boat and crew were fabulous. What a great way to see the coast of Maui and experience the magic. Everyone was well informed and treated us very well. Your experience and knowledge was greatly appreciated. Mahalo!,The Schultz clan
Our guide Kate was very knowledgeable. Had a wonderful time. The hike was well paced for our family, ages 5-70.
We were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best views from Haleakalā. The sunset over the sea of clouds and the starry sky were both so wonderful that words can't express them. More than anything, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was simply amazing! He talked to us during the drive, but his storytelling under the starry sky is something I will never forget. Of course, I want to see the views and the starry sky at Haleakalā again, but I also want to meet Mr. Yamauchi again. This tour makes you feel that way. There seem to be other tours of Haleakalā, but please consider joining this one with Maui All-Stars. It will cleanse your soul.
天気に恵まれ、ハレアカラからの最高の景色を見ることができました。
雲海の中の夕焼け、満点の星空、どちらも言葉で表現できないほど素晴らしかったです。
それよりも何よりも、ガイドの山内さんの対応がともかく素晴らしかった！。運転中も色々お話してくれるのですが、特に星空の下での山内さんの語りは一生忘れられません。
ハレアカラの景色、星空がもう一度見たいのはもちろんですが、また山内さんにお会いしたい。
そんな気にさせてくれるツアーです。
ハレアカラのツアーは他にもあるようですが、マウイ・オールスターズのこのツアーに是非参加してみて下さい。心が洗われます。

We were a group of 6 2 couples and 2 friends. It was very nice and great for us couples but the friends felt a little left out since the music was very lovey dovey. But other than that the food was good and we got a whale show!
Awesome adventure, Larry was great! He knew so much about the area and the people that live there. Larry answered our questions as best as he could. He told us funny stories, history and folk lore about the plants and land formations as we came upon them. He was entertaining and we felt safe and comfortable with him at the wheel. We had quite a few times where we could get out and take pictures or explore the area at our many stops during the day. Our lunch was delicious. It was a great opportunity to get to know our fellow travelers while taking in the scenery.
