All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

Since the cruise was on April 13th, I was worried that there might not be any whales left. But they found them for us! We were able to see a mother and her calf, along with a male whale chasing after the mother. It turns out this male is not the father, just a pursuer. The mother whale is busy raising her calf and has no interest in him, yet he persistently follows her. Well, it might be nice to have him around like a bodyguard.

Thanks to our Japanese guide, Taka, who provided humorous and detailed explanations, we had a wonderful time. Maui has many surrounding islands, so the water is shallow and there are fewer sharks. This is why whales can safely give birth here. However, there aren't many fish in this area, so the mother whale is sacrificing her own body to feed her calf. Once the calf is big enough, they return to the rich feeding grounds of the Alaskan seas.

I really understood why there are so many whales in Maui, and I’m so glad I chose this cruise. Thank you, Taka!! And thank you, Veltra!!

４月１３日のクルーズだったので、もうクジラはいないかと不安でした。でもちゃんと見つけてくれました！一組の親子と、そのお母さんを追いかけるオスのくじらを観ることができました。このオスはお父さんではないそうです。ただのおっかけ。お母さんくじらは子育てで忙しいのでその気はないのに、しくこく追っかけてくるそうです。まぁ、ボディガードみたいでいいのかもしれませんね。
日本人のガイドのタカさんのユーモアあふれる詳しい説明のおかげで、楽しいひと時を送らせていただきました。
マウイは周りに島が多いので水深が浅く、さめが少ないとのこと。だからくじらはここで安心して出産が出来るそうです。でもこのあたりは餌となる魚が少ないのでお母さんくじらは身を削って子供におっぱいをあげているそうです。
子供が十分大きくなったら餌の豊富なアラスカの海に帰っていくそうです。
マウイ島にくじらが多い訳もわかり、本当にこのクルーズにして良かったと思いました。
タカさんありがとう！！
そしてベルトラさんありがとう！！

Highly recommend this tour! You really see the diversity of the island. The waterfalls are beautiful, the banana bread was delicious and seeing both sides of the island made you get a real feel for Maui.

This would be good with the kids. I don't have kids so, anyway with family this is great. As an adult date situation not as much. Go with the kids and have fun.

Great tour of the pineapple fields and processing. Thankfully my wife printed the receipt showing we paid through Veltra for the Pineapple and Distillery tour because Maui Gold has no record of it.

Amaaaaaazing time well spent with this tour. Such beautiful soulful animals! The people who work here are awesome and passionate and, as a fellow animal lover, kindred spirits!

Nice ride. I appreciated that I could change my return time

The show while enjoying delicious food and drinks at a table right in front of the ocean with a beautiful starry sky was amazing! The Kahiko and Tahitian hula performances were very impressive.

The buffet is served in order by table, and drinks are all-you-can-drink. You will be asked to show your passport when ordering alcohol, but it wasn't necessary after the second time.

It gets quite windy at night, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket! You can enjoy the food, scenery, and show for about three hours.

海が目の前の席で星空も綺麗な中、美味しい料理とドリンクをいただきながらのショーは最高でした！カヒコとタヒチ、フラと見ごたえたっぷりです。
席ごとにビュッフェは順番に案内され、ドリンクは飲み放題です。お酒を頼む時にパスポートの提示を求められますが、2回目以降は特に必要ありませんでした。
夜は風が強いので上着はあった方がいいです！
料理に景色にショーと約3時間、たっぷり楽しめ

The crew was fast and friendly, the ocean was calm and a brilliant blue. Easy does it, there on time and a great way to travel!

The food was great. The show was good. The staff was wonderful. The only drawback was that we had to stand up at the back in order to see anything as our seats were so far away and angled so that the people next to us completely blocked our view!

We were blessed with great weather, calm waves, and high visibility, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling under excellent conditions. Among the participants, we were the only two Japanese, but thanks to the wonderful support from the staff member Takako, we were able to spend our time from check-in to check-out without any worries or inconveniences. Even though it was already April, at the end of the season, we were thrilled to see whales multiple times before reaching Molokini Island. At the snorkeling spot, Takako quickly found a sea turtle and let us know, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. The meals and drinks on the boat were diverse and delicious, and during snack time, they even walked around distributing cookies on the deck, showcasing their thorough hospitality. Throughout the tour, it was impressive to see the staff working energetically and happily. This became the best memory of our trip. I highly recommend this to anyone planning to visit Maui!

天候に恵まれて、波が静かで透明度も高く、とてもよい条件の中でシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。参加者の中で日本人は私たち2名だけでしたが、スタッフのタカコさんの気配りの行き届いた素晴らしいサポートのおかげで、チェックインからアウトまで、何の不安も不自由もなく過ごすことができました。シーズンも終わりの4月だったにもかかわらず、モロキニ島に着くまでに何度もクジラをみることができ、感激でした。シュノーケリングスポットでは、タカコさんがいち早くウミガメを見つけて教えてくれて、存分に楽しむことができました。船中での食事や飲み物も種類豊富で美味しく、おやつタイムには甲板にまでクッキーを配り歩いてくれるなど、徹底したホスピタリティを感じました。ツアーを通して、スタッフの皆さんがきびきびとかつ楽しそうに働いている姿が印象的でした。今回の旅行で一番の思い出になりました。マウイに行かれる方に、是非おすすめしたいです！！

I initially considered going by rental car, but it was definitely the right choice to sign up for the tour. The continuous curves and some roads without guardrails are safer to leave to the professionals. My 7-year-old and 11-year-old participated as well, and there were no issues since we took breaks and ascended slowly. For those who are prone to motion sickness, it's advisable to take medication in advance and ensure you get plenty of sleep. The tour content is as others have described, and I can only say that Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was outstanding. This is definitely a recommended tour if you go to Maui.

当初レンタカーで行くことも考えましたがツアーに申し込んで正解でした　カーブの連続で一部ガードレールもない道はプロにお任せした方が安全です　7歳と11歳の子供も参加しましたが休憩を入れながらゆっくり登って行くので問題ありません 車酔いに弱い方はあらかじめ薬を飲んで睡眠をしっかり取っておくと良いでしょう ツアー内容は他の方が書かれている通りで、山内さんのガイドは素晴らしいの一言　マウイ行ったら絶対におすすめのツアーです

Good , but wish it had a little different scenery to zipline. I thought some of them seemed the same., more water and less forest views.

Great food and saw some whales. Very nice crew members.

Our tour guide was so much fun! He even sang us a song with his ukelele!

Delicious pineapples, interesting history telling by the tour guide, very strong alcohols to sample, even had a song sung for us!

Wonderful music and very good food! Friendly attentive staff!

I was moved to see whale breaches multiple times near the shore of Maui Island about an hour after departing from Lahaina Harbor at noon on April 7. I later heard from a local instructor that every year, from winter to early spring, 3,000 whales come all the way from Alaska to this area for calving and raising their young.

４月７日のお昼12時にラハイナ港を出航してから、1時間が経つころにマウイ島の岸辺のすぐ近くでクジラのブリッジを何度も見ることができ感動しました。地元インストラクターの人から、あとから聞いたことですが、毎年冬から春先にかけて3000頭のクジラがお産や子育てのために、この地にはるばるアラスカからやってくるんですって。

great experience. we would go gain thanks hawai activities . have a nice day

We have been coming to Maui for years but have never ventured off the island to visit Lana'i. First of all, Veltra allowed us to change the tour date from a Monday to a Thursday with no problem since we had a conflict come up. The ferry ride from Lahaina was easy and took about 45 minutes. The sea was very calm and although they recommend taking sea sickness pills, it wasn't necessary for this trip. Our tour guide Bruce, met us at the ferry dock on Lana'i. He drove us around in an air conditioned Suburban which was very comfortable. It was just the two of us so the tour was really personalized. We took the full day tour which really gives you a great impression of the island. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, then an hour for lunch and 2 hours in the afternoon. Bruce, our guide has lived on Lana'i for 20 years and was very knowledgeable. He has seen the positive changes that have occurred on Lanai' since Larry Ellison bought the island five years ago and thoroughly explained the evolution of the island through the current day. We were then dropped off at the ferry dock for the 4:30 p.m. ferry back to Lanai--note, you need to book the return ferry when you schedule the tour and for the all day tour, the 4:30 p.m. ferry is the one to take.

If you’re looking for a real authentic horseback ride in Maui, this is the one you should book. The guides are amazing! Real down to the earth good people!! If I lived on Maui I would happily volunteer anytime to help out! I LOVED all the animals on the farm!!! Thank you so much for the great time! Will definitely book it again!

The hula itself was amazing. I still find myself mesmerized while looking at the videos I took. The meals were also more than sufficient, and the staff was very considerate. However, there were only Japanese people around, and while the family seated next to us spoke to us, I still felt awkward due to the language barrier. I can't help but think that it would be nice to have a show where you can purely enjoy the hula.

フラ自体は最高でした。今でも撮りためたビデオを眺めてうっとりしています。また食事も必要十分であり、スタッフもいろいろと気遣ってもらえました。ただ日本人は自分たちしかおらず、同じ席に着いた家族には声をかけてもらったりもしたのですがやはり言葉の壁で気まずい思いをしました。なんというか純粋にフラだけを楽しめるショーはないものかと思っています。

I participated because it was said to be a limited-time event, and I was able to see whales beyond my expectations. The Japanese guide also took us to a good spot for viewing and was very friendly, which made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. If you're going whale watching, I definitely recommend going with a Japanese guide.

期間限定でしか見られないとのことだったので参加しましたが、期待以上にクジラを見ることができました。また日本語ガイドの方に見やすい船頭まで案内していただき、気さくに声がけもしてもらえたので十分堪能することができました。ホエールウォッチングをするなら断然日本語ガイド付きの方がよいと思います。

It was a wonderful tour. Watching the sunset over the sea of clouds and the shadow of the Earth from the summit of Haleakalā, along with the countless stars, was truly overwhelming and breathtakingly beautiful. I believe it's not an exaggeration to say that if you haven't seen this, you might wonder why you came to Maui. The guide was also someone who approached this job with conviction and had a wonderful personality. If I come to Maui again, I would like to request this tour.

素晴らしいツアーでした。ハレアカラの山頂というとてつもない非日常的な場所で眺める日没の雲海や地球の影、そして満点の星々は正に圧倒的であり、息をのむ美しさでした。これを見ずしてマウイ島に何しに来たのかと言っても過言ではないと思います。またガイドさんも信念をもってこの仕事をされている方で、素晴らしい人柄でした。またマウイへ来ることがあればこちらでお願いしたいと思います。

Incredible service provided by Steve and Mario!! Loved the overall experience.

Very attentive staff, great experience. Food was good, saw lots of fish and an eel.

It started out as an ordinary boat ride, on a beautiful clear day, light variable winds. Then, nearing Lanai, we noticed dolphins swimming close to the ferry, going the opposite direction. Some were leaping and spinning. Our boat captain took the moment to slow the boat and loop back around to circle the dolphins again. Thrilling boat ride after all!
I guess part of my delight in the day was the weather -- beautiful and warm on the island. Return trip just as smooth as when I went out in the morning. Then saw a whale.
I'd do the trip again in a minute!

I experienced a scenic flight on Oahu, but the views in Maui were on another level! Here’s a simple outline for reference:

1. Wait for your turn at the Maverick lounge. It was very clean, possibly a new office, and it was great that we could freely use the restrooms.
2. The pilot kindly greeted each guest and provided explanations. He was a very nice pilot.
3. Finally, we took off! The scenery was unlike anything I had ever seen. Maui has more waterfalls than any other island, and there are many places that are hard to reach by car. I was truly amazed by the pilot's skills! Despite guiding us while flying close to the sights and stopping, the flight was incredibly stable!
4. We arrived at the tropical rainforest area! We started with a toast of sparkling wine! It seems they are offering sparkling wine for a limited time, and it really made me feel happy. Surprisingly, Maverick has purchased this vast area of tropical rainforest (laughs). The pilot had extensive knowledge about the plants and pineapples! I respect him for being able to guide us while flying!
5. After taking lots of photos, we departed to return to the office.

That was my scenic flight experience in Maui! I think it's an activity that anyone visiting Maui should definitely try. Next time, I plan to join with my parents. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

オアフ島でも遊覧飛行を体験しましたが、マウイでの景色は別格でした！
簡単な流れを参考までに♪
１．マーベリックのラウンジで順番を待ちます。新しいオフィスなのか、とてもキレイでトイレも自由にいけてよかったです。
２．担当のパイロットさんがそれぞれのお客さんに声をかけて説明をしてくれます。とても優しいパイロットさんでした。
３．いよいよ出発！とにかく見たことのないような景色が続きましす。マウイ島はどの島よりも滝が多く、なかなか車では見に行けない場所も多いようです。パイロットさんの操縦には本当に驚き！近くまで寄ったり、停止したりとガイドをしながらの操縦にも関わらず、本当に安定感あり！
４．熱帯雨林の敷地に到着！スパークリングワインで乾杯でスタート！期間限定でスパークリングワインを提供しているようですが、とっても幸せな気分になりました。熱帯雨林のひろーい敷地はまさかのマーベリックが購入したそうです(笑)草花の説明やパイナップル、とにかくパイロットさんの知識が豊富！操縦しながらガイドまでできるなんて！とにかく尊敬です。
５．たくさん写真を撮ってもらった後にオフィスへ戻るために出発
こんな感じのマウイ島遊覧飛行でした！
マウイ島に来たからには絶対に体験すべきアクティビティだと思います。
今度は両親と一緒に参加しようと思います。楽しい体験をありがとうございました！

The ferry ride was exceptional! Lanai was beautiful! This day trip was the highlight of our Maui stay for my wife and I and our three teen daughters. We will be back again very soon. Mahalo!

The show was great. The food was decent as well. It was a nice experience for my wife and three teen daughters. Mahalo!

The arrangements were smooth. The pick-up and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。
