Inter-Island Trip Maui to Oahu - Pearl Harbor Full Day Tour with Airfare & Lunch Included
We loved it!
Posted on: 2009/01/19

I was with my mother during this vacation. She and I went to Maui as part of a medical convention. Our tour guide was "Ed" and he was just as great as I had previously read about him on this VERY SITE!! Ed is very knowledgeable about all of Hawaii, not just the areas that you will go to. He spent a great deal of time talking to us about Hawaiian culture as well as the tour route information.

First off we were picked up at our hotel by the tour company and transported to the Maui airport promptly by the timing described in our confirmation email. We then flew to Oahu and met Ed. This process is made easier for the tour guide and you by stickers that you are supposed to wear, it helps the guides find you. We then went to Pearl Harbour as the first part of our trip. Pearl Harbour was very moving as I suspected it would be. It is an experience to be there and unless you are a small child, I am sure all teenager aged upwards would be moved by the sites, the movie, the wall and the actua

Inter-Island Trip Maui to Oahu - Pearl Harbor Full Day Tour with Airfare & Lunch Included
Memorable but Overpriced!
Posted on: 2009/01/12

Tour was OK! Pearl Harbor definitely was memorable, although on-site tour guide at USS Missouri was too interested in his own knowledge. USS Arizona Memorial was nice to see, but otherwise disappointing. Our tour guide, Nappy, was very informative and pleasurable. Alot of down time, though! 1 1/2 hours on Waikiki (dressed for touring) was a bit disconcerting. 1 1/2 hours wandering around several food establishments, waiting to go back to the airport, was a waste. Overall, very costly for what we got! Inter-island airline prices are cheaper individually, and, I'm sure that a self-guided tour could be arranged easily.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>
It was average.
普通でした。
Posted on: 2009/01/04

After the venue opened, there was a long wait from when we sat down to when the meal started, but it was helpful that drinks were brought to our seats.

At the beginning of the show, there was a time for the children to go up on stage and learn hula. Some girls had dressed up for this.

As for the food... it wasn't very delicious. However, considering the price, it was about what I expected.

開場後、座席に座ってから食事開始までの時間が長かったですが、
座席にドリンクを運んでくれるので助かります。

ショーの初めに子供たちがステージにあがってフラを習う時間がありました。
このためにオシャレしている女の子たちもいました。

お料理は・・・あまり美味しくありませんでした。が、お値段を考えるとこんなものかと。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>
The staff is very friendly!!
スタッフがすごく親切です!!
Posted on: 2009/01/04

It was me, my sister, and four children (ranging from elementary school to preschool) participating. Since the little ones were scared of the ocean, I planned to take turns snorkeling with my sister, but the Japanese staff member was incredibly kind. She took the kids on a surfboard with a viewing window (?), bringing them to various points where we could see different fish and turtles. The child who was scared of the ocean was overjoyed. At the turtle viewing point, they exclaimed, "I saw six of them!" and spotted more turtles than I did!

I have participated in snorkeling tours in other countries before, but I could never enjoy snorkeling at a leisurely pace with kids. This time, thanks to the staff member taking care of the children, I was able to fully enjoy snorkeling at my own pace!

The turtles gracefully swimming in the vast ocean were wonderful, and I will definitely participate again next time I go to Maui. I highly recommend this tour for families with children!

私・姉・子供(小学生から幼稚園児の4名)の参加でした。
小さな子どもは海を怖がるので、姉と交代でシュノーケルを楽しもうと思っていたのですが、スタッフの日本人のお姉さんがとっても親切で、子供をサーフボードとのぞき窓付きのウェイクボード(?)に乗せて、いろんな魚やカメのいるポイントに連れて行ってくれました。
海を怖がっていた子供も大喜びでした。
カメの見えるポイントでは、「6匹も見た~」と親の私よりも多くカメを観ていました!

今までも、他の国でシュノーケルのツアーに参加していますが、子連れではゆっくりとシュノーケルをする事はできませんでした。
今回は、お姉さんが子供の面倒をみてくださったおかげでゆっくりとシュノーケルを堪能させていただけました!!!!

広い海を優雅に泳ぐカメもすてきだったし、次回、またマウイに行く時は絶対に参加します。
子連れのファミリーにもぜひぜひおススメのツアーです!!

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>
Thank you, Yamauchi!
山内さん、ありがとう!!!
Posted on: 2008/12/30

Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for your very kind coordination.

Although we couldn't see the sunset and starry sky at the summit due to the rain, the commemorative photo at the 3,000-meter peak will remain a cherished memory. My 85-year-old father and 79-year-old mother were also very impressed.

It was disappointing not to see the starry sky, but more than that, I was completely satisfied with Mr. Yamauchi's warm and thoughtful service throughout the day in Maui.

Just being able to see the countless stars scattered in the mid-mountain was amazing, so I can only imagine how wonderful the starry sky at the summit must be. I definitely want to try again to see the twilight sunset and the starry sky. Next time, I will aim for Haleakalā. I look forward to your assistance again then!

山内さん、とても親切なコーディネーションをありがとうございました。

雨で山頂でのサンセットと星空が見れませんでしたが、3000メートルの山頂での記念写真は思い出に残ります。
85歳の父と、79歳の母も大感激しておりました。

星空が見れなかったのは残念でしたが、それ以上に山内さんの暖かくて思いやり一杯の対応でマウイの一日が大満足でした。

中腹で無数にちりばめられた星空が見られただけでもすごかったので、山頂での星空はきっとすばらしいものと想像しています。
絶対に再チャレンジしてたそがれのサンセットと満天の星空を見に行きたいと思います。次回はハレを狙っていきます(ハレアカラね)
その節はまたよろしくお願いしますね!!!。

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks
First Timers to Snorkelling
Posted on: 2008/12/29

Wow...what an experience.

The the captain along with the crew were fabulous. The day started off with a continental breakfast which was great. For lunch we were served the choice of chicken breasts, hamburgers or hot dogs along with both adult and children beverages.

Instructions provided for snorkeling were great. As a first timer they provided enough information about what to expect for the first time. They were right on the dime about what you would experience. By the end of snorkeling I was comfortable enough to go without the flotation device.

We are so looking forward to the next time and will definitely try snuba. Mahalo....

Our trip was ruined by rain but not only did this Company give us all they could under the cirmumstances, they refunded the entire purchase price. We didn't get to do alot but we still flew to Oahu and toured the city of honolulu. The Staff was exceptional and we are going to go through this Company for all of our tours next year. They are a class act. Thanks for everything.

Great Nightshow
Posted on: 2008/12/13

Me and my girlfriend loved it. We are talking about taking a hula lesson (if it's offered around bay area). The fire dancer guy was awesome. I bet that requires a lot of training.

We had a great time on this luau. Highly recommended.

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei
Sunrise tour Mount Haleakala Crater
Posted on: 2008/11/27

We had a good time at the crater. We were a little bummed because we didn't get to see the sunrise but it is unpredictable and we understand that. It was still a great experience and we did get to see some sun rising behind the clouds.

If we make it back to Maui we would definitely try it again in hopes to see the sunrise the second time!

Thanks for an informative tour!

Loving Snorkelling!!!

Ive been on this twice already!! Went with some buddies and we didn't realize that we were going to another island, the first time. Lanai is so beautiful with lots of reef fishes and the bluest water I have ever seen. Oh and we also saw some whales, the second time. Everyone on the crew is super awesome and really took care of us. Will be seeing you guys again ... hopefully sooner than later. lol.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures
a very good time
Posted on: 2008/11/20

My husband and I went snuba diving on the Aqua Adventure and loved it. The boat was smaller then some and held less people, which gave the passangers more individual attention from the crew. We had both a breakfast and lunch buffet aboard ship.The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the money. Reccomended for all.

Our tour driver, ED, was wonderful! He made the day extremely enjoyable. We found that being part of the tour made our day stress free. We did not have to worry about driving in a city that we were unfamiliar with. We also saw sites that we would not have seen otherwise. Ed kept our group on time so that we could make the most of our day.

This Horseback Ride was absolutely a BEAUTIFUL Adventure,. Everyone at the RANCH, especially, FRENCHY, our Tour guide was friendly, fun and informative on the ride about ALL the Beauty of the Island & Mendes Ranch History. They were giving of their time to the ones that were a little less experienced in riding & took pictures of everyone in differnet areas of the ride to make sure we ALL caputured great memories on film. We had the opportunity to gallop if we chose throughout the ride as well. The Horses are well cared for & are Beautiful. We had "Bailey" & "Cowboy" and Frenchy had Beautiful "Shotgun". I would definetly go back next trip to MAUI.

Deluxe Molokini & Turtle Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy
Trilogy Excursions are great!
Posted on: 2008/10/23

Trilogy has been in the boat excursion business longer than anyone here; and we can see why they are still at it. We came here to Maui in October 2008 and before in August 2004.

Their staff is well trained; they know what they are doing and where to go; and they are very helpful towards beginners and advanced folks alike.

This was my first time snorkeling and the staff really helped train me well so that I became confident very quickly. I was once a good swimmer but a major health crises kept me out of the water for quite a while and I was rusty. Ryan was helpful in reminding me of how to get back into swimming and then snorkelling became very easy.

The skipper had a great sense of humor and we will definitely use Trilogy again when we come back to Maui, using them for several different excursions.

When you are in Maui; check them out!

Drums of the Pacific Luau with Open Bar at Kaanapali Hyatt Regency Maui
Nice Experience and Good Food
Posted on: 2008/10/11
Val

This was great. Food was great and the whole productive was very professional. They even had the performers meet at back for pictures you were so inclined. I did notice they did take some pictures before going - unsure how that was because it seemed to be for another tour group/company. Of course, you paid for these separately. I didn't inquire what the requirement for the pictures was - but perhaps if you notice such, may be you will. Many people were celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. It was a nice time and the music seemed to be continual even while you ate. A nice way to end a stay in Hawaii and it ended in good time so that you weren't up all night packing for the next day's start of the return to the mainland.

We had a nice ride and the horses were matched up with our weight, age, and skill level as stated. This was my third time riding in 20 years and I went as a beginner and did well. I was concerned that I was a pre-pre-pre beginner. Yet I survived and have 3 nice pictures and some good memories of the trail. We had 2 tour guides and my regret is that I wished I'd given more beside $10 for a tip since they were watching my back so to speak :)

Best of Maui - Haleakala Crater, Iao Valley & Distillery Tour with Lunch
Haleakala Adventure Tour
Posted on: 2008/09/17

Thanks so much for showing us so many of the nicest parts of Maui. Charles, our tour guide, showed us around the island, while filling us in on the political and natural history of the area. It seemed to us that this was a wonderful way for first time visitors like us to get an overview of Maui.

Things we especially liked about this tour: being picked up at our hotel promptly at 7am, as advertised; the view from the top of Haleakala; the opportunity to see rare plants and birds on the mountain, such as silversword plants in bloom, and the unique Hawaiian Geese (Nene); our guide's amazing knowledge of the places we saw and their history; the wonderful lunch at Casanova's in Makawao; the beautiful scenery around the park at the Io Needle.

The opportunity to take this tour with a knowledgable guide and driver was wonderful. It permitted us to concentrate on the scenery, rather than worrying about driving on unfamiliar roads and trying to read a map and sightsee at the same t

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>
Unexpected!
予想外!
Posted on: 2008/09/15

Initially, I signed up because I wanted to watch the sunset from the mountain with my family, but I was surprised by the experience! I got to see the rare silver sword plant that only blooms once every few decades, and we had the chance to do serious stargazing with a telescope (we even saw shooting stars!). Above all, the explanations provided by Mr. Yamauchi, with his extensive knowledge of astronomy, were truly moving.

The only regret was that the sunset was hidden by clouds, but I had a wonderfully fulfilling time. I've heard that Hawaii is known as a mecca for stars, and it seems like many stars can be observed here. Until now, I only had the image of Hawaii as a place for marine sports, so this was a new discovery for me. Later, when I asked a few Japanese residents living in Maui, it seems that Mr. Yamauchi's stargazing sessions are quite famous.

最初は家族で山からサンセットを見られるということで申込みましたが、参加してみてびっくり!
数十年に一度しか開花しない銀剣草の花を見られたり、本格的な望遠鏡での天体観測ができたり(流れ星も見えました!)、そしてなにより山内さんの豊富な天文知識による解説が感動的でした。
唯一、サンセットが雲に隠れて見えなかったのが心残りですが、すごく充実した時間を過ごせました。
ハワイは星のメッカと言われているらしく、たくさんの星が観測できるようです。これまで、ハワイにはマリンスポーツのイメージしかなかった私には、新たな発見でした。
後でマウイ在住の日本人数人に聞いたところ、山内さんの天体観測は結構有名みたいです。

Thank you for your message, Maui Fan.
I appreciate you joining the star enthusiast tour. (laugh)
I believe that when you enter that natural planetarium (which we call Tenpura), everyone becomes one and can regain a sense that they had forgotten.
It really makes you forget about the little worries, doesn’t it?
Please come back to Maui to see the stars again.
I would like to introduce the latest telescope that was released recently. (laugh)
