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.

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.

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!

My wife and I had never gone snorkeling before, and during our honeymoon, we had planned many activities, but this was the one we weren't sure how it would turn out. We decided to do the snuba diving, and our instructor was amazing. He was laid back and helped encourage us when we were first nervous in the water. After a few minutes, everything got easier, and before we knew it, it was time to come up. We were also able to snorkel at Turtle Town, and got to swim by a sea turtle, and that was a super unique experience. Of all the things we did in Hawaii, this is the one thing that I would be sure to do again when we come back.

Everyone should be chauffeured along the road to Hana. You don't have to worry about the traffic, the tight curves, or the driver. Our driver Wayne (Pono) was extremely knowledgeable about the road and the history. It seemed we were being driven by a friend. He was friendly with all the locals when we stopped. After our stop at Hana Tropicals I will never be without flowers at home. It was well worth the cost.

In overseas option tours, it's often the case that Japanese guides are of a type that young people do not accept, but this one was good. The Japanese staff were great, and the water's clarity was as rumored. However, there were indeed fewer fish, just as expected. I did encounter a large sea turtle!

What a great and entertaining show. We did the VIP package and would highly recommend. It was 98 degrees so a little overhead cover would have been nice for the early part of the show but it was dark soon so it did cool off. The food and drinks were great. The dancers/entertainers were top notch. It was nice that after the show you would mingle with the dancers and get pictures taken. Very pleased and would definitely recommend this luau to newcomers to the island

We stayed in Maui for 7 nights on our honeymoon, and decided to visit Haleakalā, so my husband, my sister, and I participated together. As we gradually acclimated, we drove up and kept putting on more layers. It was quite cold, so I wore a borrowed down jacket over my own. The sunset and the starry sky were amazing. We even saw shooting stars, which was fantastic. For newlyweds, there’s the spirit Shakamanda that comes around a lot. It was incredible! The explanations were impressive as well. I highly recommend it! We were well taken care of by everyone.

If you want a relaxed cruise, good music, plenty of good food & drinks with a fun crew, check out the Pride of Maui. The open concept encouraged visiting with other people, which was fun. We even had the extra bonus of having three whales swim right next to the boat! A great evening!
