Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry
Guide was very nice and knowledgeable
Activity Date: 2021/04/09 | Posted on: 2021/05/01

Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable but I think it would have been more fun exploring on our own, not a ton to see on Lanai but if you go rent your own jeep for the day.

We had so much fun in the aqua ball and on the zipline. All of the kids thought it was the best adventure they had in a long time! Kids are 8 and 6 and it was perfect for their ages.

Lahaina Sunset Dinner Cruise w/ Live Music & Cocktails - Maui Princess [CLOSED]
The best excursion of our trip!
Activity Date: 2021/04/02 | Posted on: 2021/04/26

My husband and I had a fantastic time on the sunset dinner cruise!

Honestly, we were happy to be on the ocean and enjoy the beautiful sunset. We were pleasantly surprised with the dinner, drinks, and excellent service. The crew was friendly, helpful, and just fantastic—especially the captain who went over and beyond finding whales for us to see. The singer/guitar player was outstanding. We enjoyed dancing on the bough of the boat.

Thank you for helping to make our first trip to Maui more memorable!

Famous Road to Hana Tour - Waterfalls, Black Sand Beach Swim with Lunch
Fun trip around the island!

Overall the tour was great. We hit all of the major stops and the guide offered to take us to additional stops along the way. Was an incredible and breathtaking trip! Only one star off since the driver was a bit overzealous about being punctual. I completely understand (and appreciate!) the need for the group members to be on time; however, the stern tone from the guide at 7:01AM for a 7AM pick up was a bit of a rough start to the day. Nevertheless, would recommend this trip to anyone.

John was an amazing guide - he made our morning!! He gave a comprehensive overview of what to expect and safety protocols, making us feel at ease the entire time as new snorklers. He kept us entertained and laughing the whole trip. We saw two large turtles, lots of fish and coral, and several other interesting creatures. Would highly recommend this trip!

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks
Great time in Maui!
Activity Date: 2021/04/04 | Posted on: 2021/04/06

The crew was very friendly, fun, informative, and made this a safe experience for all. The food was delicious! One of the divers showed us rare sea life and the captain spotted whales for us to see. Although we weren’t able to go to Molokini Crater due to weather conditions (we could see this from Coral Gardens that it would be rough that way), we still had an incredible experience. We saw tons of sea life, got great pictures, and had terrific hospitality. Highly recommend this charter!

We had a great time aboard Pacific Whale Foundation Whale Watch Cruise. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable.. the boat was clean, and crew wiped down common areas during the cruise. We all wore masks and social distanced.. I felt comfortable and completely safe. Our Naturalist was friendly and answered all our questions. We saw mothers and babies and some with an escort. We had a wonderful day, the sun was shining and weather was beautiful. I would highly recommend this activity. Making the reservation was an easy process too.Thank you, Hawaii Activities and Pacific Whale Foundation for a memorable day!!

The Maui Princess cruise was exceptional- the food was fantastic and captain, service and performer were terrific. We were especially surprised that the food was of great quality and served just right. We had the prime rib and the Mahi Mahi. Both were perfect! The captain stopped for some whale sittings. Would highly recommend supported this cruise as they were off for 11 months and now only go out Wednesday’s- this was their forth sailing since reopening. Highly recommend this for any occasion!
