Maui
It's taken me several trips to Maui to make it to Hana. Why? The idea of spending all day driving my car on a dangerous road with 54 one-lane bridges and 600+ turns (meaning I couldn't even enjoy the scenery) just didn't appeal. But then someone recommended this tour...Instead of driving yourself on this treacherous road (and trust me, with all the amateurs out there it is treacherous), you ride in a comfortable passenger van with an incredibly knowledgeable and enjoyable guide. Instead of driving 3 hours to Hana and 3 hours back along the same route, you take a helicopter for one of the legs and see breathtaking aerial views of this gorgeous island. The tour is well planned, the meals yummy (even the vegetarian and gluten free options were fantastic), and the people were top notch. My only complaint was waiting almost an hour after check in at the heliport to get going. Otherwise, it was a perfect activity.
Lanai is not well developed and roads are rugged so this is a good way to tour the island. Our driver and guide Ron knows the island very well and took us to places that I heard about but won't be able to reach by myself. He also told us the history and current state of the island. We learn and see a lot of the island via this tour.
Staff were incredibly efficient and they certainly don't skip on the alcohol or the food.
There was not much fish to see:-(
The organization for the trip waa good.
This was such a spectacular trip. Our tour guide Netti wend over and beyond to make this experience special for everyone. I highly recommend this experience!
Everyone was great!
Beautiful sunset and moonrise.. crew offered to take photos.
Dinner was very good, everything was tasty.
The clarity of the water around Molokini Island is amazing, but there aren't many tropical fish. At the second point, the turtle spot, it was fantastic to swim with the turtles for a long time. Those staying at hotels in the Wailea area were close to the turtle spot, so they could encounter them even on private beaches. It was really enjoyable since we could get explanations in Japanese and the drinks were free.
モロキニ島の透明度は素晴らしいですが熱帯魚はあまりいません。
2ポイント目の亀スポットでは長い間亀と泳げ最高でした。ワイレア地区のホテルに泊まった方は亀スポットから近いのでプライベートビーチでも出会えました。
日本で説明してもらえるし、お酒もフリーだったのでとっても楽しめました

Fabulous show! Awesome food and wonderful staff! I would highly recommend and go again :)
Nice boat, great service, and the location is so different from snorkeling anywhere else!
High energy, beautiful location, great food. What a night!
The area is so beautiful it would be hard to mess up! Lots of stops at lovely places.
Judy was great, we had a lot of fun. Lots of time traveling, but enough stops to still be worth it
Great guide and well organized trip. Friendly, helpful people and comfortable rides. Good connections.
Our tour guide Travis totally made this day and excursion memorable. It was a long day but was filled with history, phenomenal sites and entertainment provided by our guide. One of the best excursions on the island by far!
This tour was absolutely amazing! Our driver was phenomenal, knowledgeable, entertaining and definitely made you feel safe on the long road up and down the mountain. The views were breathless, there are no words to describe how absolutely stunning the sunset was. Mahalo Maui.
We had a really good time at the Luau. It was 1 hour long and that was enough time for my children ages 9 & 12 to enjoy the show and get a feel for a bit of Hawaiian culture. We did the cocktails only show and we found this to be a good option for our family. It was a good show for the $112 it cost to attend.
I felt very safe and had a great time snorkeling thanks to Takako and a Japanese person named Yuu who took care of everything. The rental equipment was well maintained. The water was beautiful and impressive.
タカコさんとゆう日本人の方が色々と面倒みてくださって、とても安心して、楽しいシュノーケルができました。貸し出し道具もきちんとケアされていました。水が綺麗で感動しました。

On that day, there was only one other group of Japanese people besides our group, but there were about 100 foreign tourists on board. The explanations and announcements were in English, but there was a Japanese guide who provided additional explanations.
Whether it was for our sake or if they usually do this, they were out on boards checking for safety in the water. It was reassuring to be able to ask for help in Japanese.
As we headed towards Molokini Island, the color of the sea changed, and it was truly beautiful. The water was shallow enough that we could see the bottom.
In the morning, we had a simple meal of fruits and bread, and for lunch, there were burgers or hot dogs. Personally, I found the taste to be rather basic and not particularly delicious.
For drinks, we had guava juice and coffee in the morning, and afterwards, there were cola and Sprite. There seemed to be water available separately. On the return trip, they also served alcohol.
There were separate restrooms for men and women, and there was a simple shower at the back of the boat. It was the type that you had to hold down manually, so it was difficult for shorter people to use, and it wasn't suitable for long periods.
Unfortunately, for several days including that day, the waves were rough and the water was murky, so we couldn't go to the spots where sea turtles could be seen. Instead, we ended up doing two snorkeling sessions at Molokini Island (which was beautiful, though).
If you're going to Maui, I think you should definitely visit Molokini Island.
その日は私たちグループのほか１組しか日本人はおらず、でも外国からの観光客で、100人くらいは乗っていたでしょうか。
説明や放送は英語でしたが、日本人のガイドさんがいて、別途説明してくれました。
海でも私たちの為か、普段からいらっしゃるのか、ボードで出ていて危険がないか見てくれていました。
日本語で助けを求められるので安心でした。
モロキニ島に向かう途中から海の色が変わり、本当にきれいでした。
水深があまりないので、底まで見えました。
朝はフルーツとパン等の簡単な食事、昼はバーガーかホットドックです。
私的には大雑把な味ですごくおいしいというものではなかったです。
飲み物は、朝はグァバとコーヒー、それ以降はコーラとスプライト。別途水があるようでした。
帰りの船ではアルコールも出していました。
トイレは一応男女別にあり、シャワーも船の後方に簡易のものがありました。
手で押さえておかないといけないタイプだったので、背が低いと大変だし、長時間は使えないです。
残念ながら、その日を含む数日は、波が多くて濁っており、ウミガメがみられる場所には行けず、
モロキニ島で２回のシュノーケリングをすることになりました。（きれいだったけど）
マウイに行くなら、モロキニ島へは行くべきだと思いました。

This was a great Tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable as well as helpful.
I would recommend this tour.
Great food and drinks and view of Maui sunset. Crew was great.
Bruce was awesome. Swept us up at the marina and asked if there was something in particular we didn't want to miss. We were open to anything so off we went. Nice hidden beaches. Great views. Lots of places we could have never found (or wouldn't dared) if we were touring alone. Bruce was so informative and was just comfortable to be around. The only improvement would have been the 4x4 that was advertised. The Yukon we went around in wasn't the best ride and that's fine but all the advertisements showed a very different vehicle.
Thanks Bruce for a great day!!!
We had a wonderful time on our Taste of Hana Tour with Hailey! She was a very safe expert driver with lots of fun information to give. We saw some amazing things and my family couldn't have done it without her. We really had an awesome time!! Thank you, Hailey, for your courtesy and knowledge!
Thank you so much for your review! We really appreciate you taking the time & making the effort to share your experience with others. We love Haley too! She is a great guide... filled with knowledge, humor, patience and a sense of adventure! Wishing you all the best.... The Holo Holo Gang
I really enjoyed participating! However, since it's an English tour, some understanding of English is necessary. The guide also took great photos at Haleakalā.
参加して非常に良かったです！ただ、英語のツアーのため、多少の英語の理解力は必要かと思われます。ガイドさんがハレアカラで上手に写真も撮ってくれました。

Everything was awesome, the mahi mahi dish was probably the best I have every had. Plenty of drinks nothing but a good time.
It was very nice, we opted for the cocktails and show. A little disappointed that the bartender left a few minutes after the show started.
The captain and crew were exceptional. The snorkeling was awesome, we even got to swim with turtles. We found spinner Dolphins on the way to Lanai that were fun to watch. The BBQ was good, hot dogs and Hamburgers and the morning food was fruit and muffins/donuts. The water was warm and there was lots to see. The boat had a slide that was fun to slide down into the water (optional).
Great attentive staff. Great venues at Molokini and Turtletown. I swam with a turtle. The food was great- best burger I've had in a while. The boat ride was great. I liked having the option of being out of the sun on the main deck or outside on the the deck or up on top and there was plenty of seating. It was nice having a restroom available. We really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend this trip for all ages. There was a toddler on board and some older people who did not swim but stayed on the boat and still had the option to view fish through the glass bottom window.
Beautiful evening cruise, great warm weather. A little cramped for seating. Food good! No room for walking around ship, mostly Sat at table for cruise. Might try one of the other evening sails on another ship.
It was an awesome experience. Super friendly staff made the experience even more exciting. A definite must do on your to-do list!
We enjoyed it immensely. We got to see things not available in the natural habitat. We found the demonstrations to be very good and informative. The seven day pass was a terrific value and we used it 3 times.
