All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

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!!

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.

Whether or not to go horseback riding here largely depends on how much you enjoy the drive to get there. You will ascend a narrow mountain road with many twists and turns (the road itself is well-paved, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your car). While navigating the continuous curves where you can't see ahead, if you encounter an oncoming vehicle, one of you will have to stop or back up until you find a spot to pass each other. There is basically no shoulder, but there are places where you can pass each other closely without having to back up for long distances.

I stayed in Ka'anapali, so I took the clockwise route and returned the same way. The scenery along the way was truly stunning. Before entering the aforementioned narrow road, Highways 30 and 340 have plenty of space and beautiful viewpoints where you can safely stop your car, and even after entering the narrow road, there are spots with great views where you can pull over. There are shops selling crafts and various souvenirs, as well as a sculptor's garden and shop.

Google Maps indicated it would take just over an hour by car, but I recommend planning for about three hours, as the drive is so enjoyable that you might find yourself rushing at the end. Ultimately, the horseback riding became the highlight of a day-long drive.

Even for those who don’t want to ride, there is a gazebo on the ranch with plenty of plants, and you can play with rabbits, chickens, goats, and peacocks while you wait, so you might not be dissatisfied if you come along just for the drive.

Now, regarding the horseback riding itself, the experience may vary depending on the participants. Riders are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels based on self-assessment. At my session, everyone except me was a beginner, including several children around four years old, so the content was adjusted accordingly. Therefore, I can't say how it would be with a different group.

Even with such a group, those who wish to can canter a bit. The horses know where to run and where to stop, so no special handling is required. It feels very safe.

The scenery along the course is fantastic. You can reach places with breathtaking views of the ocean that you can only access through this activity, along steep paths.

In conclusion, if you enjoy going up and down hills on horseback, you will have a great time. However, if you are expecting a thrilling ride, it might be a bit disappointing depending on the group you are with.

ここでの乗馬をするかどうかは、到着までのドライブを楽しめるかどうかがけっこう鍵になると思います。対面通行できない細い山道を九十九折に登ります（道路自体はよく舗装されているので、車を傷める心配はありません）。
先が見えないカーブの連続を走りながら、対向車に出会ったらどちらかが止まって、あるいはすれ違えるところまでどちらかがバックして、すれ違います。基本的に路肩はありませんが、それほど距離をおかずにギリギリすれ違える場所があるので、長い距離をバックすることはないと思います。
私はカアナパリにステイしていたので、時計回りのコースを行き、帰りも同じ道を帰りました。それほど道中の景色が素晴らしかったです。上に書いた対面通行できない道に入る前のハイウエイ３０や３４０には、十分な広さがあって車を安心して止められる美しいビューポイントがいくつもありますし、細い道に入ってからも景色のいい場所には車を止められるスペースがあります。クラフトものやさまざまなお土産品を置いているショップ、彫刻家のガーデン＆ショップもあります。
グーグルマップでは車で１時間そこそこの表示でしたが、３時間みてドライブしても最後は急いだというくらい、道中が楽しいです。結局、１日かけたドライブの山場としての乗馬という感じになりました。
乗馬をしたくない人でも、牧場内にガゼボがあり植物も豊富ですし、ウサギや鶏、ヤギ、クジャクと遊んで待っていられるので、ドライブのつもりで同行してもらっても不満はないかもしれません。
さて、肝心の乗馬ですが、そのときの参加者によって内容が変わるのかもしれません。自己申告でビギナー、ミドル、アドバンスに分かれます。私のときは私以外は全員初心者で４歳くらいの子どもを何人か含むメンバーだったので、それなりの内容になりました。ですのでほかのパターンだったらどうなるのかは私にはわかりません。
そんなメンバーでも希望者は少しキャンターもします。馬がどこで走りどこで止まるかをわかっているので操作は必要ありません。とても安全です。
コースの景色は最高です。このアクティビティでなければ行けない様な、険しい道から海を見渡す場所に行けます。
結論として、馬で丘を下ったり上ったりするのが好きな人なら楽しいですよ。颯爽と駆ける外乗を期待するなら、そのときのメンバーによっては期待はずれになるかもしれません。

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 pretty expensive...this was an enjoyable outing! Very impressed with Hawaiian Airlines...We're mainlander's so it was our first time to fly with them. Our tour bus driver (just call him ED) did a great job and gave us a lot of great back ground information on each exhibit. It was a long day, but we can recommend this tour...

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.

Aloha. I went out with Captain Charlene, Ana, Juan, and Jesse... this was my all time favorite crew and boat experience ever as far as service and comfortability. This crew was Real ... really caring and open hearted... I loved the Snuba, loved seeing the Whales and Molokini, the Aloha burger was onolicious and the ride was smooth and easygoing. Mahalo nui* looking forward to the next Maui Magic trip : ) Aloha

Ferry ride included whale watching going and coming. The tour guide was excellent as a long time resident who knew every corner of lanai. Best way to spend a day. This was our first trip to this island.

Beautiful setting
Gifted performers
Friendly staff
Mediocre food
Could not see the stage from my seat - had to stand in back to get photos.
