Maui
The sunrise tour starts early but it is totally worth it! None of the pictures I saw of the sunrise can communicate the shear beauty of the view. The sun creeps over the cloud cover and suddenly everything is lit up with golden sunshine. After that, they took us to the summit and a couple other places on the mountain to see the crater and then took us back down and served us breakfast.
Had a great time. We did the 8 line zip tour. It was really hot but we got free water bottles and the course was not hard at all. Our guides were awesome. Matt, Loki, and Bobo, kept us laughing the entire time. Matt is nothing but jokes!!! They made sure everyone was okay and felt safe. It was clear that they love their job and made sure we had a great time!!
Food was good but ribs could have been better. The kids loved the cruise and the kid non alcoholic drinks they got.
This tour was absolutely amazing! Not only did we have an awesome tour guide, Rory, but the sunrise was breathtaking! Rory got us there with plenty of time to spare and got us the best place to stand! He was so informative and passionate about his island! He gave us so much information about the culture of Hawaii that he didn't have to do. I can't recommend this tour enough!
Excellent Tour Guide and Pilot. Both were very knowledgeable and answered all questions
Excellent Driver and Guide. Too bad bus size prevent us from getting to summit. Family style dinner was also very good.
Best tour we have ever taken anywhere. Very small group (only 4 of us). The tour driver was very Knowledgeable. Easy driving tour without having to rush. With ony 4 in the group, we stay longer on stops we liked and shorter on the ones we didn't. Lunch was good, again without having to rush off to stay on schedule. The same was true for the helicopter ride back. The polit was fantastic and always made sure we have our camera shots before leaving a givin area. He even spotted a whale (in late May no less) for us to see. Is this tour pricey? yes. Is it worth every penny? YES YES YES !
Definitely happy we took the cruise out to see the sunset on the water. Well-worth the money! Good food, good drinks, great live music, great staff, family-friendly, and all ages welcome. I would absolutely go again on a return trip to Maui!
Molokini Island has very beautiful waters and is the perfect place for snorkeling. However, on the day we experienced it, the waves were rough, making it quite challenging. There are also Japanese staff members, which is reassuring. It all depends on your physical condition.
モロキニ島は海がとても綺麗でシュノーケルをするには最適な場所でした。
しかし、私たちが体験した日は波が荒くそれどころではない状況に・・・
日本人の方もスタッフにいますので安心できます。
あとは体調次第です。
We had a great time at the Luau. The food was great and they have a great system to get everyone through the buffet line quickly. The show was really spectacular, great music, great performances and I loved learning the history of the beginning of Hawaii.
We are so glad we took a tour rather than attempt the drive ourselves. Our guide Les shared interesting stories and pointed out neat spots like the weeping walls and the sensitive ferns in addition to all the stops listed in guidebooks. It was a wonderful experience even though the twisty roads caused a bit of nausea---but Les made an unexpected stop for ginger candy to help. Great trip!
You can experience the scenery and worldview that cannot be seen from the ground, enjoying the island surrounded by the blue sea and great nature from above the blue sky.
青い海と大自然に囲まれた島をを青い空の上から味わう、地上からでは見ることのできない風景、世界観を体験できます。
It was an absolute great time. The instructor provided such eat direction and assisted in giving you the most successful attempts at learning to surf. They also provided amazing professional photographs.
So amazing and so fun. The tour guide was super informative. An absolute must.
My daughter and I had a great time on this excursion. The individuals working the boat were very helpful. My daughter participated in the snorkeling and came face to face with two sea turtles! We actually made two stops for snorkeling. The breakfast consisted of fruit and muffins and lunch was hamburgers, and hotdogs. My daughter the diva had me take several pictures to post to her friends. The scenery was beautiful but best of all were the whales. We unexpectedly came upon three male whales following a female and her calf. The captains commentary was exceptional and the whales came up out of the water right next to our boat and then dove under it!! It was truly a sight to see. We had a wonderful time, the crew was exceptional and I would recommend this excursion to everyone.
This by far was the number one excursion that we chose to do on our honeymoon. My husband and I absolutely loved everything about this. Despite having to walk 10 minutes in the hot sun to the docking area, everything was perfectly planned. The sailboat was clean and spacious, the appetizers were delicious and the drinks were great. The crew was very friendly and accommodating and the captain was very nice as well. The sunset was gorgeous and very romantic. We loved this and we're sure you will too! Highly recommend this sail!
Our tour guide/bus driver Rory was one of the best tour guides we had during our trip to Hawaii. He made our trip to Hana worthwhile and made us feel comfortable. Not only was he funny and made our trip interesting with his sense of humor but he was very knowledgeable with the history of Hawaii and everything we saw on the Road to Hana. The Road to Hana was a crazy ride but Rory did a great job with the turns and making us feel safe. He made it worth dishing out the money to go on a tour rather than driving it ourselves. We stopped by a couple of places that were not on the schedule, simply because we asked about them and wanted to stop by. We stopped by Hana Farms which was a small stand by Hana that sold the best banana bread. We also stopped by a general store in Hana with cool knick knacks and some snacks. Although it was not on our schedule, he was more than willing to stop and let us look around and buy some stuff. He always cracked jokes and talked about his family. It made us feel like he wasn't just doing his job but that he was enjoying his job and getting to know his guests at the same time. Our Road to Hana wouldn't have been so great if it wasn't for our tour guide from Polynesian Adventure Tours. We recommend this company and this tour guide for any future visitors to Maui who want to go on this tour. You'll have a blast!
Beautiful beachfront property to have a luau. Entertainers were amazing, put on a great show and the food was fantastic. Wonderful evening watching talented people.
Everything about this experience was great. The crew was super friendly and funny, and the snorkel was very interesting and simple to do. Absolutely amazing.
The main reason for the helicopter tour was to fly over the crater at Haleakala. Unfortunately the clouds prevented us from doing that. The staff was unable to confirm that we would not be flying over the crater until we were actually in the air. Then on top of the bad address provided for the heliport and the lack of specific detailed information on getting to the helicopter location made for a very stressful and frustrating morning. Once landing and getting on the van to drive back from Hana things were much better. The tour guide in the van was very informative. I would only take this trip again if there were a discount included if weather conditions made it impossible to get to the crater.
The staff were wonderful and the SNUBA adventure was very exciting. This is a great introduction to what scuba diving might be like and the location at Monokini is a great spot to SNUBA! I will be back!
Ashley are tour guide was great and very knowledgable on the hike. My niece like that she was able to jump off the cliff into a pool of water. Just absolutely beautiful waterfalls!
Gus was our driver and we are glad. There were 4 of us and we all appreciate the safe driving because this road can be treacherous.
It was a long day and Gus kept us entertained all day with knowledge about every part of the trip. We went places where we would not have imagined there would bevsomething to see and Viola, more Paradise. We saw sea turtles sleeping on the beach, many waterfalls, an upclose tour of an area where the portuguese workers had built a giant cross in tribute to the beautiful island.
We are so glad we booked this intimate trip instead of a big bus full of people.
Thank you Gus.
I signed up for a plan that included transportation. When I arrived at the boarding location, there were about 30 to 40 participants, most of whom were from Europe and America, with only three Asians, including myself. However, you can rest assured that a very kind Japanese female guide will take care of you in detail.
Even in Hawaii, the water temperature is low. I wore a rash guard, so I didn't rent one, but it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit if needed (costs $10). There was a shower with warm water on the boat, so I took a shower every time I got out of the sea.
As for Molokini Island, to be honest, I didn't see many colorful fish. However, the sunlight filtering through the water made the seabed incredibly beautiful, and I was captivated by it. For lunch, we had hamburgers where we could add as many vegetables as we liked. The basic rule was one per person, but if there were leftovers, we could have seconds. I was one of the first to go, but by the time I was offered "Would you like another one?" after the meal, there were hardly any vegetables left. I recommend going early. But I was able to enjoy a hamburger with two beef patties, savoring the taste of the meat.
At the snorkeling spot we headed to after lunch, I was able to see many sea turtles. While searching for sea turtles on the seabed, they would suddenly appear next to me, and I would hurriedly swim away. I think it's quite difficult to see sea turtles while swimming on Oahu, but here I was able to see many.
For those who want to snorkel at Molokini Island, see sea turtles, or are anxious about their English skills, I highly recommend this tour!! (Of course, since it's nature, there's no guarantee you'll see sea turtles...) Above all, the way the Japanese female guide interacted with us was not the typical condescending attitude often seen from Japanese living abroad; it was very pleasant, allowing me to truly enjoy the experience. (Personally, I’m not fond of that typical attitude.)
If I visit Maui again, I would like to use this service.
送迎付きプランで申し込みました。
乗船場所に着くと3~40人程参加者がいましたが、そのほとんどは欧米の方でアジア人というか日本人は私を含めて3人だけでした。
ですが、ご安心ください。とても親切な日本人女性のガイドさんが細々と面倒を見てくださいます。
ハワイと言え水温が低いです。ラッシュガードを着ていたので借りませんでしたが、場合によってはウエットスーツのレンタルを利用すると良いでしょう。(要10ドル)
船に温水の出るシャワーがあったので、海からあがる度に浴びていました。
モロキニ島ですが、正直あまり色鮮やかな魚を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし日の光がさしこむ海底がとても美しく、魅入ってしまいました。
お昼は自分で好きなだけ野菜を挟めるハンバーガーでした。基本1人1つですが、余ればおかわりOKでした。私は1番最初に取りに行ったのですが、食後「もう1ついかが?」と言われた時には野菜はほとんどありませんでした。早めがおススメですよ。
でもビーフパテを2枚も挟んでもらって肉の味を楽しめるハンバーガーを楽しむことが出来ました。
食後向かったシュノ―ケリングスポットでは海ガメをたくさん見ることが出来ました。
海ガメを探して海底を探していると、いつの間にか隣にいたりして慌てて泳いで離れたものです。
オアフ島で泳いでいる海ガメを見ることはなかなか難しいかと思いますが、こちらではたくさん見ることが出来ました。
モロキニ島でシュノ―ケリングしたい方、海ガメを見たい方、英語が不安な方。
このツアーとってもおススメですよ!!
(もちろん自然相手なので絶対に海ガメが見れるわけではありませんが…)
なにより日本人女性ガイドさんの接し方が海外に住む日本人にありがちな上から目線で距離感を保たないくだけた態度ではなく、とても心地よいもので心から楽しむことができました。
(個人的にはあのありがちな態度は苦手です)
またマウイ島を訪れることがあれば利用したいと思っています。
The location is little bit remote but not hard to find. the farm is quite big. Learned alot about dragon fruit and pineapple. Zip line was so great and the aqua ball was awesome. Zip line is quite fast with great view to the ocean. i feel very safe with their procedure and equipment. It wasnt as high as i would like but for most first time zip liner ,this is a great beginning trial. Aqua ball is fun. If you want speed,you must stay completely relax when u going down hill. The ball will gain lots of speed. We also tried the juicy sugar cane. It tasted so sweet and refresh. Jessica and Matt were so so friendly. They know Just about everything about the farm. Overall ,we had great time with their friendly staff.
Kayaking is fun. We were able to pedal along the shore line and check out different view of the island. We were also able to spot a few turtle along the way and snorkel with them. Highly recommend to everyone.
This is a awesome trip with awesome friendly staff. The reef was great and We were able to see those playful dolphin. What an awesome day.
Ernie our tour guide, added so much enjoyment to an already terrific tour!!
I'm really glad I participated in this cruise! The sea was incredibly beautiful and safe, and the Japanese instructor was fun and lively! With breakfast, a hamburger lunch, and cocktail time, it was a great tour that felt like a good deal the more I participated, especially with my stomach in perfect condition!
本当に参加して良かったクルーズでした! 海は凄く綺麗で安全、日本人のインストラクターの方はノリも良く楽しい! 朝ご飯、ハンバーガーのランチ、そしてカクテルタイム、かなり胃腸が万全な状態で参加すればするほどお得なツアーでしたw
We came to Maui for our honeymoon.
Our destination was Haleakalā.
Our guide was Rick.
He conveyed a very warm personality.
He explained the starry sky in a very detailed manner, and with his gentlemanly demeanor, I was really drawn to Rick's character and stories!
The sunset was breathtaking, with the sun sinking into a sea of clouds, like a carpet of clouds.
It was simply beautiful.
The starry sky was surprisingly cold for Hawaii, but it was so stunning that I didn't want to blink, and I was deeply moved.
We even saw shooting stars!
We captured spirits in our camera, which really excited us!!
I am filled with gratitude for being able to participate in such a wonderful tour.
If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely love to join again!
