Good host is great
Divers are cool
No turtle nor much depth

Great food and great drinks! The entertainment was amazing.

Our tour guide, Steve, was right on time, friendly, super knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about his island home. We were able to see everything of interest on Lanai (except the resorts, which are not open to sight-seers). If you are on a one-day trip to Lanai, this is the way to go.

Arrive at the port and check in at least 15 minutes before departure. The departure was on time. The weather was clear, but we only saw about ten whales from a distance. When I participated previously, we encountered several whales up close, saw them dive, and even ran alongside a pod of dolphins, so this experience was quite modest in comparison. It was disappointing that the captain kept talking not only about the whales but also engaging in small talk like a monologue, showing zero enthusiasm for actively searching for whale spots. (The previous captain was proactive, using experience and intuition to find the best spots and move quickly.) Whether you can see the whales well really depends on the captain. (You can't choose, though...)

出港15分前までに港に集合して発券。時間どおりの出港でした。天気は快晴でしたがクジラは10体弱遠目に見えた程度。以前参加したときは間近に何体も出現し、ダイブも見られたり、イルカの群れと併走したこともあって、それに比べるとかなり控えめでした。船長がずっと解説のみならず世間話も独り言のようにしゃべり続けていて、熱心にクジラポイントを探し当てるようなやる気はゼロだったのが残念でした。（以前の船長は経験と勘で次々とベストポイントを当てて積極的に移動していた。）クジラがよく見えるかどうかは本当に船長次第です。(選べませんが。。）

We loved our whale watching tour. I would highly recommend. Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat or a shirt to cover up with as it gets hot on the boat. I plan on doing this again next time and booking though Veltra. Great price for the best tours. Tip: rent the binoculars or bring your own for close up viewing.

It was a great full day with my family. Captain Raquel and her team were amazing! Saw lots of whales in the morning with Haleakala in the background. Dolphins joined us on the ride back too! The entire team was fun and interacted w/ all of us. We can't recommend it enough!

We had an excellent time.. We were looking for a casual fun experience for Christmas evening and this trip delivered. This is my 6th time in Maui and have participated on many excursions and this is on the top of my list. Crew was fabulous and attentive. Captain was experienced and knowledgeable. Felt safe the entire time. The cost was appropriate for what we received...and as a reminder, always tip the crew

The experience was good. We saw both whales and dolphins. The unfortunate thing was that they overbooked the boat and there wasn’t seats available for everyone on deck. Being forced to sit in the crew area below and not hear the captain’s commentary had a way of making you feel unwelcome. However, we did get to do the activities and saw wonderful marine life.

Guide "Jelly" took the two of us on a customized tour giving us lots of history of the island and also information about local activities due to his years on Lana'i. Exceptional value and great fun.

Our family went on the early morning Whale Watching tour. It was worth getting up early to go! Our captain was very knowledgeable about the tour and surrounding islands. He took us a little farther out so we were able to see 3 whales! It was 2 males chasing down a female and she was leading them out on a chase! I would definitely recommend this cruise!

Nice well maintained boat. Premium open bar is false advertising. There are NO premium drinks or top shelf alcohol just so you know. The food was tasty. Overall a nice time.

A really good luau- food tasted great, the fire dancing was phenomenal!

Do not miss a helicopter tour in my opinion , amazing event

This was seriously SO COOL. the oceanfront landing was unbeatable

Excellent evening.

Staff was friendly, helpful, happy and overall a joy to be with.

The captain was interesting, had a lot of experience, laughed at the dumb joke I made about no more 3 hour tours - Gilligan Island joke - and went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome.

The food was good, hot when served, and you were not made to feel rushed.

The guy singing was great. Had a wide variety of standard songs that fit the age group he was dealing with - yes there were a lot of us old folks on the trip - and he made sure to recognize all the birthdays and anniversaries - 4 couples married 50 years or more - and played their song.

The departure was just as nice and overall a great time.

Ride was good. Nice welcoming area. Reasonable price.
BUT:
1- the ride was supposed to be west Maui and Molokai. We started at the airport, ride only the northern part of west Maui up to Kapalua, then went on to Molokai. On return from Molokai, it flew back over on the north side again! It was supposed to fly over the rest of west Maui (Kaanapali, Lahaina, etc.), but it basically went over the same route.
2- The pilot was silent for the first ~15 min and the last ~10 min of the flight. I understand they have to communicate with the tower. But almost half of our tour was silent.

Overall, it could have been better.

With this being our first snorkel tour, I wasn't sure what to expect. I can tell you that it was just as much about the people running the tour as it was about the tour itself. Everyone was dedicated to making our experience a memory to last a lifetime. The boat was great, the food was awesome, the drinks were a nice touch and the snorkeling was exactly what we were hoping for. Thanks again for making this an awesome memory.

I am so glad we booked with this company! Many staff members were verified life guards and had degrees I. Marine biology. Safety and fun was their first priority. They didn’t skimp on lunch- allowed 2nds and thirds so you definitely weren’t left hungry! We were a little bummed that we didn’t actually get to see any whales, only 1 turtle, and not a ton of fish, but they can’t help nature.

We had an incredible time on this excursion. I would
Highly recommend. Staff was amazing, interactive, fun and knowledgeable. The food was very good and we were well taken care of. Loved this experience and even saw some whales as well.

It was a great Experience, excellent show by the team. In terms of food, I felt it could be better in a way like if someone doesn’t eat something probably they can substitute it with something on their menu. Else everything seemed good!!!

At the summit, the rain and wind were strong, and I couldn't see the crater or the sunset at all. However, the only saving grace was that I saw a very beautiful rainbow along the way.

山頂は雨風が強く全く火口や夕焼けは見えませんでした。
ただ、道中でとてもきれいな虹が見えたことが唯一の救いです。

Had such an amazing experience. Seen some incredible sights and sealife during the ride. 10/10.

The show was great. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The performers did amazingly and made the show great. The food was alright, but the show and experience were amazing. 10/10.

Had fun on the cruise. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Seen whales and cool views. The meal was alright, but the experience was amazing. 10/10.

I had never ridden a horse before, had a great time, and experienced breathtaking views. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone who loves adventures and views. 10/10.

We had a wonderful time touring some popular sites on Lanai (Shipwreck Beach, Garden of Gods, Cat sanctuary). Many of the sites were off unpaved roads, so have a driving guide really saved a lot of work and planning. The tour group with Russ, Ray and Cory was very accommodating, making extra arrangements to make sure no one is left stranded, even when unplanned events arise. The hardest part was figuring out where to pick up the tickets that morning. For us it was a booth across the street from the Pioneer Inn, near a small lighthouse.

Great dancing
Great virgin drinks
Friendly staff
Food was not my favorite, but I know it's traditional food and not everyone's style

This was an awesome tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the pineapple farm. We sampled the best pineapple ever! So worth the time and money paid!

It was a wonderful experience, they provided you everything, the safety regulations are pretty clear. The food is great. Just they might need to added more alcohol to the drinks heheh also the crews are the best crews I ever had hahah they are all great, they will help you with anything. I definitely recommend to my friends when they are come visiting Maui

Even though my girlfriend and I were sea sick for most of the cruise the entire staff still made sure we were very well taken care of. Excellent hospitality.
