Maui
Dancers were talented. Host was impressionable but I have to say I was disappointed with the food. The waitress that tended to our table in preferred seating was not friendly or helpful. Also, the line that they sorted us in was not helpful at all for getting in.
Especially the Japanese female staff member kindly and patiently taught me snorkeling in a way that was easy to understand, despite my fear of the depth where my feet couldn't touch the bottom. Thanks to her, I was able to see the clear ocean, cute fish, and even a sea turtle, which was truly moving. I had a great time and am very grateful. Thank you very much.
特に日本人の女性スタッフさん、足がつかない深さに恐怖感があった私に、親切、ていねい、わかりやすくシュノーケリングを教えて下さいました。おかげで、透明度の高い海、かわいい魚、ウミガメも見つけることができ、感動です。とても楽しかったです。そして、大変感謝しております。ありがとうございました。

This was one of the highlights of our trip! Our tour guide Jacey was fun and very knowledgeable! Had a great time and look forward to enjoying our Maui Gold pineapples at home! Thank you!
I found this place while searching for a hula show in the Wailea area, so I made a reservation. There is no shuttle service, so I think it would be convenient to stay at the Marriott or another hotel in the Wailea area. I reserved a premium seat, but there was a long line at the reception, and since the sun hadn't set yet, it was quite hot. The premium seats were essentially in the second row from the front, with ten people sharing a round table. The show was very visible. There were three long tables set up with the exact same buffet menu, and people in priority seating were served first with one plate. Under the starry sky, I enjoyed a powerful luau and elegant hula.
ワイレア地区でフラのショーを探していたらこちらがありましたので申し込みました。送迎はないのでマリオットに泊まるかまたはワイレア地区のホテルからならば便利だと思います。プレミアム席を予約したのですがその前の受付で長い行列が出来ており、まだ太陽も沈んでなかったのでかなり暑かったです。プレミアム席は実質前から2列目、丸テーブルに10人の相席です。ショーはよく見えました。ブュッフェは全く同じメニューが乗った長テーブルが3列用意されていて優先席の人からワンプレートに盛っていく形でした。星空の下、迫力あるルアウと優雅なフラで楽しめました。

The crew were outstanding!! Jason, the captain of the boat was very interactive with the kids regarding the operation of the boat. Jason and Lindsey were very good with the number of people and keeping the bar operating at a very good pace. I would suppose my only issue is that there aren’t any real tables to sit and eat. You need to find a place to enjoy the food, which by the way is very good. Overall, was worth the cost and would take this trip again. Thank you “Pride of Maui”
The summit of Haleakalā was very cloudy, so we moved to another spot! I thought it wouldn't work even after moving, but there were countless stars!!! It definitely deserves a five-star rating, but I want to see the starry sky from the summit next time, so I will participate again.
ハレアカラ山頂は雲が多く、別のスポットに移動！！
移動しても無理なんじゃ…と思ってたけど
そこは満天の星！！！
十分星５つに値するけど
今度は山頂での満天の星が見たいので
また参加させてもらいます。

I could see Molokini Island from the airplane and from Wailea. When I got closer, I was surprised at how much larger it was than I imagined! Until then, the rocking on the boat and the waves while snorkeling made me feel a bit nauseous... The ocean was beautiful, but I couldn't fully enjoy it... On other overseas tours, they had motion sickness medication available on the boat or before boarding, but this tour didn't have any... I should have prepared my own.
飛行機やワイルアから見えてたモロキニ島
近づいたら想像よりも大きくてビックリ！
それまでの船上の揺れとシュノーケルのときも波があり気持ち悪さが…
海はキレイだけど目一杯楽しむことができない…
他の海外のツアーの時は船上や乗り込む前に船酔いのクスリが用意されてたけどこのツアーにはなかった…
自分で用意すべきだった

The tour guide was friendly and I had a great time! We were lucky to see a beautiful sunrise, and the snack service (warm coffee and bread) was really nice! The breakfast we had on the way back was also delicious. If you come to Maui, I definitely recommend visiting here!
添乗員の方が気さくな方でとても楽しめました！日の出も運良くきれいに見れましたし、何より軽食のサービス(温かいコーヒーとパン)がすごく良かったです！帰りにとった朝食もおいしかったです。マウイに来たら、ぜひここを訪れることをおすすめします！

The tour day was blessed with good weather, and since it was close to a new moon, there was no moonlight at all, allowing us to see countless stars like a natural planetarium. The sunset was truly beautiful, with a sea of clouds below, and I was overwhelmed by the starry sky.
I am very grateful to our tour guide, Yamapi. He took great care of us, showed us various stars through the telescope, and the lectures were enjoyable! It felt like going back to elementary school. I felt that the company, including Yamapi, genuinely wants participants to enjoy the tour with thoughtful consideration and care. I would love to join this tour again! Thank you very much!
ツアー参加日は天候に恵まれ、新月に近かったため月明かりが全く無く、天然プラネタリウムの如くたくさんの星を見ることができました。サンセットも本当に美しく、下には雲海が広がり、星空も含めて感無量でした。
ツアーガイドの山ピーさんには本当にお世話になりました。星空観測、望遠鏡で色々な星を見せてくださり、レクチャーも楽しかったです！小学生に戻る感覚でした。参加者ファーストの気配り、心づかい、山ピーさん含め、こちらの会社は参加者に気持ちよくツアーに参加して欲しいという心掛けがあると感じます。またこのツアーに参加したいです！本当にありがとうございました！

I had an incredible time at The Maui Gold Pineapple Farm Tastiing Tour. To be honest, the only reason I went in the tour was to take pictures of pineapples. However, by the end of the tour, I learned so much about Pineapples. I learned when to pick the pineapples, what colors are the sweetest, the various parts of the pineapples, how to cut a pineapple and so much more. It was time well spent and yes, I took incredible pictures! The tour guide was also the best. He made the tour a lot of fun and definitely knew his material. The tour is fun for the entire family. Definitely worth it!!
From our pick up to drop off, we were taken care of so well.
Crew fantastic, captain Trent helpful and also funny.
Great food and drinks , you don’t need towels nor drinks or food. They serve breakfast as soon as you board.
Book this trip , it’s sooooo good!
Our guide Garret was excellent. A lovely local man And he eluded Aloha.
Great tour.
Mahalo and Aloha Garret.
It was my second time participating after four years, and this time I was able to see shooting stars multiple times. It was still the best tour! Yamapi, I'll come to see you again, so please take care of yourself and keep doing your best!
４年ぶり２度目の参加でしたが、今回は流れ星も何度も見れて、変わらず最高のツアーでした！
山ピー、また会いに行くのでお身体を大切に、元気にがんばってくださいね。

Following my Sunrise Tour five years ago, I participated in the Sunset Tour for the second time. The weather was great, making it a perfect day for viewing. I was constantly impressed by the lively talk and knowledge of our guide, Mr. Yamap. Since I don't usually live in an environment where I can stargaze, I had a wonderfully luxurious time. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.
5年前のサンライズツアーに続き、2回目はサンセットツアーに参加してみました。
天候も良く、観賞にはうってつけの日でした。
解説の山pさんの軽快なトークと知識に終始感心していました。
普段、星を眺める環境で暮らしていないので、とても贅沢な時間を過ごさせていただきました。機会があれば、改めて参加してみたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

My first time on Lanai Island, and it's truly a relaxing and quiet place, unlike other islands. The people are kind, and the Garden of the Gods was nice, but the planned visits to Hulopoe Bay and the ancient petroglyphs didn’t happen. The weather was a bit cloudy that day, which was a bit disappointing.
初めてのラナイ島、他島と違ってホントのんびり静かな良いところです。人も優しいし、神々の庭園も良かったのですが、プランにあるフルポエ湾や古代ペトログリフ見学はなかったです。当日は天気も曇りがちで少しがっかりというところでしょうか。

Despite it being my first snorkeling experience, I was able to see several sea turtles, which made me very satisfied! I felt inspired to try snorkeling in various oceans in the future. The guide, Kana, was very kind and attentive, making it easy for me to enjoy the experience even as a beginner. The casual conversations about Maui in Japanese were also very comforting! However, the motion sickness medication I bought at a supermarket in Maui didn't work very well, so if you're prone to seasickness, it might be better to bring stronger medication like Aneron from Japan.
初シュノーケリングにも関わらず念願のウミガメを何匹も見ることができ大満足です！
今後も色んな海でシュノーケリングしてみたいな〜と思えました。
ガイドのkanaさんが懇切丁寧に対応してくださるので、初めてでも安心して楽しめました。
マウイの雑談も日本語でばりばりにしてくださり、心安らぎます！
ただ、マウイのスーパーで買った船酔い(motion sickness)の薬があまり効かなかったので、船酔いに弱い方は日本でアネロン等強めのお薬を持っていった方がよいかもしれません。

The wind was strong, so we couldn't go to Molokini Island, but the spot we were taken to instead was absolutely beautiful!
Moreover, we encountered a turtle!
I was very well taken care of by the Japanese instructor, Takako. Thank you very much!
I want to go again!
風が強くてモロキニ島には行けませんでしたが、代わりにつれていってもらったスポットがめちゃめちゃ綺麗でした☆
しかも、カメに遭遇♪
日本人インストラクターのたか子さんには大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございましたm(__)m
また行きたいです!

We celebrated my parents 40th anniversary on the boat and couldn’t have asked for a better evening. The boat, crew, food, drinks and sunset were incredible! This is a must do!
So awesome!! Thanks for sharing guys and thanks for the super kind review! Congrats on 40 years Mom and Dad!
The driver guide was friendly and kind. The breakfast we had at the golf course clubhouse was delicious. Indeed, warm clothing is essential.
ガイドの運転手さんは、気さくで親切でした。ゴルフ場のクラブハウスで食べた、朝ご飯は、美味しかったです。やはり、防寒具は必携です。

It was very beautiful.
While it's essential to prepare for the cold, it was bearable, perhaps because it was summer. If you're planning to take photos, having gloves might be a good idea.
とても美しかったです。
寒さ対策はきっちり必要ですが、夏だった所為か耐えられる寒さでした。撮影されるならてぶくろがあるといいかも。

It was my first time in Hawaii and my first time snorkeling, and I had a lot of fun. The Japanese staff were very kind and attentive, which eased my initial anxiety, and I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the spot where we could see sea turtles due to bad weather, but I was still very satisfied with just one location.
初めてのハワイ、初めてのシュノーケリングでしたがとても楽しく満喫できました。日本人スタッフの方がとても優しく、気配りのできる方で、最初は不安でしたが、すぐに安心してツアーに参加できました。私のときはウミガメの見えるポイントは天候不良で行けませんでしたが、一ヶ所だけでも十分満足できました。

Too “tour bus” in style ( but it was Chevy). Tour went 2.5 hours with no food, water, or bathroom stop - family was not happy.
Tour and Island was ok, but it needs a mid point stop and event. Like swim in the ocean, or hike to some place, or zip line across a ravine, etc.
Needs more “ do it”, less sit.
I participated with a friend. They picked us up at the hotel, and along the way, we had fun conversations and learned various recommendations about Maui. We enjoyed drinks at Krispy Kreme, chose bento boxes at the supermarket (I underestimated the bento, but it was incredibly delicious), and shopping at Kula Lodge (we got to sample a lot of food). The journey to Haleakalā was truly enjoyable. The sunset was so moving that words can't describe it. Additionally, we went to a hidden spot where there were only 2 or 3 other people besides our tour group. We had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, the starry sky was not fully visible due to the clouds, but it was a sky that you can't see in Tokyo. (Even though we could see a little, we were told we could come back for a revenge trip next time. It was really thoughtful of them.) I was also moved by Yamapi's passionate stories. Thank you for everything. I will definitely participate again! For those who are unsure about going, you should definitely go—it's highly recommended!
友達と2人で参加させていただきました。ホテルまでお迎えに来ていただいて道中楽しいお話しに加えオススメのお店などマウイに関して色々と教えていただきました。クリスピードーナッツに飲み物、スーパーでお弁当選び(お弁当とあなどっていましたがすごーく美味しいです。)、クラロッジでお買い物(たくさん試食させてもらいました)、ハレアカラに着くまでも本当に楽しかったです。サンセットは言葉にならないほど感動しました。さらに穴場に行っていただいたのかそこは私達ツアー客と他には2、3人だけ。本当に素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。残念ながら星空は雲が多く満天の星とまではいきませんでしたが東京では見れない星空でした。(しかも少しは見えたにもかかわらず、次回リベンジして良いとのこと。ほんと至れりつくせりです。)ヤマピーさんの熱のこもったお話にも感動です。色々とありがとうございました。絶対にまた参加しまーす！！行くか迷われてる方は絶対に行った方が良いですよ〜。オススメです。

We enjoyed our time. The only concern I had was when it came time to find the boat. Their were no signs on the shore or instructions where to go. The food was fine, but it ran out.
Cute local luau with good food. I suggest paying for the VIP experience, because VIP gets to the buffet line first, as the food goes quickly. Just 6-8 dancers total and a host, but adorable local luau!
There was good coordination between the ferry boat ride timing and that of the tour. The tour guide, Garrett, is what made the tour great. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and very efficient in conducting the tour. He grew up on the island, knew its history personally--and this made all the difference in allowing for a great tour.
The first time was about three years ago when I applied with a friend, but it was canceled due to bad weather. This year for sure! It was a tour for two, but I somehow requested to participate alone. I was grateful that they picked me up. Personally, I think it could have been even more enjoyable if I had a deeper knowledge of astronomy. The explanations in Japanese, the Japanese food, tea, safety measures against the cold, and safe driving were all great. While inquiring about participating alone, I was starting to give up thinking it might be impossible since I was by myself. I also looked at the English tours, but the reviews were... (sweat). It truly became a wonderful memory! I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
一回目は三年ほど前、友人と申し込みましたが天候不良でキャンセル。
今年こそは！二人からのツアーでしたが
ひとりでの参加をなんとか、リクエスト。
ありがたく、ピックアップしていただきました。
個人的にはもっとマニアックな
天体の知識がわかればもっともっと楽しかったかも。
日本語の説明、日本のご飯、お茶、説明、寒さ対策、安全運転。

This tour is probably one of the best tours you can do if you're staying in Maui. I went with my boyfriend on a Friday and our tour guide Trevor was amazing and took great care of us. It was an all-day event starting at around 8am with the bus coming to our hotel to pick us up, and ended around 6pm with us being dropped back off as well. Trevor, a local of Hawaii for many years, was very informative of the lifestyle, culture, and geography of a lot of the sightseeing we encountered on the road and made multiple stops throughout the trip to allow passengers to explore, shop, and take pictures. We pretty much made an entire loop around the right side of the island which was amazing because we definitely got to see the different terrains as well. The highlight of the trip for my boyfriend and I was making stops at one of the waterfall pools and Black Sand Beach at Waianapanapa State Park. Our tickets included a light, continental breakfast and a nice lunch. We couldn't have asked for a better day!
We took the 1-hour trip which was really not quite long enough to see all there is to see. The crew includes divers who go over the side and bring things up from the reef and exhibit them. Not for the claustrophobic as you do sit below the waterline, but ventilation is very good. Also note the boat has no restrooms so drinking a ton of water, or anything else for that matter, is not a great idea. The water is very clear and there is a good deal to see. Be sure to bring some cash to tip the crew if you can (we did not know it was an option). Next time we will take the 1.5 hour trip.
The accommodation for getting set up to fly in from Maui and meet my docent was easy and stress free. The staff met me at both airports and it was easy from there. My driver was Tommy, he was friendly, funny, and informative. The only real negatives about my experience was the closed Arizona memorial (not the company’s fault just bad timing) and a lack of time at the USS Missouri. My group and I were handed off to a tour guide with the USS Missouri organization who was slow and annoying and by the time she was finished there was only 20 minutes to explore the ship before we had to get back on the bus. The other stops had enough time in my opinion but I recommend not following the tour guide on the Missouri and explore on your own. Overall a good experience.
