Maui
Something that everyone should do once! Not something I would suggest if you have done it else where. Very cool but may not be worth the money to some.
Food was good. Snorkeling was fun. One of the few companies that go to this location.
Since this was my first time doing a helicopter ride it was exciting but don't think I will do it again.
We attended with 11 other people that we were traveling with. All of us had a great time. The staff was so funny, friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this excursion.
We are a couple in our 50s. We were worried since it was our first experience riding horses on an English-only tour, but thanks to the guide, a cowgirl and a cowboy, as well as the calm and intelligent horses, we had a great time. At the end of the tour, we noticed the other participants casually giving tips to the guides, so we followed suit and gave a tip as well. (We had prepared a Japanese envelope with a $10 tip in it for when we truly wanted to express our gratitude.)
What impressed me the most was the scenery during the ride. To the west, there were the cliffs of the canyon, and to the east, we could see the long coastline stretching from Kahului Bay to Haleakalā in the distance. I felt so relaxed that I almost dozed off while gently swaying on the horse's back. We even got to pretend to make the horse run a few times, and it was truly a wonderful experience.
50代夫婦です。英語のみのツアーで乗馬も初体験なので心配でしたが、ガイドのカウガールとカウボーイ、そして大人しくて利口な馬のおかげでとても楽しめました。ツアーの終わりに回りの参加者達がガイドにチップをさりげなく渡していたので、真似して私達もチップを渡しました。(本当に感謝した時のために日本のポチ袋に10ドルチップを入れたものをあらかじめ用意していました。)
そして一番感動したのは乗馬中に見る景色。西は渓谷の絶壁、東はカフルイ湾から遠くハレアカラを望む長い海岸線。馬の背にゆっくり揺られながらで眠くなってくるほどリラックス出来ました。何度か馬を走らす真似事も出来て本当に素晴らしい時間でした。
Zipline is fun and the staff was very friendly! If I ever come back to Maui, I will come back and do it again for sure!
The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. She is from Maui and told us a lot about the island. Swimming in the fresh water pond was fun! Highly recommend anyone who visits Maui to do this tour
The cruise was wonderful the food and drinks were fantastic.
Best experience!!You learn a lot during the hike.
I would recommend this to people. It was a great experience.
Krichelle took us out on the hike in Hana rainforest and it was amazing. She knew a lot about the farm and picked us a lot of fruit n avocados. The hike was amazing as I love running they the woods. She took us thru done private hike areas that you won't be able to go thru without a guide. Make sure to bring sunscreen n insect repellent!!
There were 4 falls that we visited n the swim in the falls were amazing. There was also one that we could jump into.
For those that are not as active, there are easier routes that krichelle instructed others to pass thru . All in all amazing experience and I would go it again,
It was great that a Japanese guide happened to join us. My children and wife were down with seasickness.
日本人の ガイドさんも たまたま 乗り合わせてくれてとてもよかったです
子供、と妻は 船酔いで ダウンでした
My wife and I had a great time. The crew was knowledgeable and fun, and they made sure that everyone had a good time. They also had a smaller group of people that they take out, so there really is a more intimate feeling to the trip.
View was magnificent and the summit was beautiful. Tour guide was a little unusual, but all in all a good time. Thanks
My husband and I were on our honeymoon and we had a great time doing the Road to Hana and helicopter tour combo! Although the helicopter tour was shorter than we expected about 30 minutes, we saw many beautiful views and waterfalls! Our pilot was great and informative! We landed at the Hana airport and took the road "leaving" Hana for our tour so we did things a little backwards. Our driver, I believe his name was Kelly or Kerry, was awesome! A Hawaiian native and had tons of knowledge of the area and was very pleasant, friendly, accommodating, and informative. The drive back was long, but with stops a long the way it made it go fast! We stopped at several places on the Road to Hana including waterfalls, volcanic beaches, and shoppes. We were very glad we did this tour and would highly recommend if you rather have someone else drive the Road to Hana (it is a very narrow and twisty road!) It was nice that both my husband and I could enjoy the views and not have to worry about concentrating on driving.
The drive was beautiful. Our driver was very knowledgable and made sure we were able to stop and take pics along the way. He took care of our every need. Lunch was amazing! Our flight back to the heliport was great. Unfortunately, it was a little cloudy and we didn't get to see as much as I would have liked. Also, our video only recorded 2 minutes of our flight. That was a bummer. I would definitely recommend this trip.
I had a great time. I want to go again when I come to Maui. The horseback riding was long, and the cowboys took photos at several spots, and the horses were calm and good. However, the lunch was just okay, so it's better not to have high expectations. It might be better to go to a restaurant without lunch.
非常に楽しかったです。マウイに来たらまた、行きたいです。乗馬時間も長いし、記念撮影もカーボーイが何ヵ所もしてくれるし、大人しく良い馬だし。ただ、ランチは、まあまあなので期待をしない方が良いです。ランチなしでレストランに行った方がいいかも。
It was a trip to remember and cherish. Amazing guide, perfect timing, perfect amount of information shared, nice breakfast.
My husband and I booked this dinner cruise as a way to celebrate our anniversary while in Hawaii. The food was delicious and we were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunset the night we went. I would recommend this to other couples. There were great views of the island while relaxing on the water.
Did this on the first day so it wasn't hard to get up at 2am since we hadn't adjusted to the timezone yet. I was glad we packed jeans, jackets, gloves and hats; we were still a little cold up there. But the sunrise was definitely spectacular.
We stayed at the Hyatt and there was some confusion on where to be picked up. Don't ask Veltra; call Polynesian Adventure Tours listed on the voucher directly. Our driver was OK; he had some interesting tips, but at 2:30am, most of us were just sleeping. It also would have been nice to know about the large viewing area right of the observation shack since it was pitch black when we got there. I would have expected the driver to mention this or give tips on where to view the sunrise. The Coffee and Danish was just OK; the system of having driver fix your coffee and hot chocolate was slow. The big breakfast on the way down was tasty, but slow to be served.
The 6:30 AM pickup was a bit sleepy, but once I got on the boat, I woke up. Last year, when I went snorkeling on the Big Island (Captain Cook), the water wasn't very clear and the fish weren't that great, so I didn't have high expectations this year. However, at Molokini, the water was quite clear and there were plenty of fish. There were several types of fish like pipefish and butterflyfish, so I was satisfied.
After about an hour, we headed to the next sea turtle point. I was worried that the water wouldn't be very clear and that I might not see any turtles, but fortunately, I was one of the first to get into the water and quickly encountered one. Since there weren't many people yet, I was able to enjoy watching it swim leisurely. I swam here for nearly an hour, but compared to Molokini, there were fewer fish, and the main attraction was definitely the sea turtles. Just when I thought it was almost over, the guide told us there was a turtle a little further away, so I hurried over and was able to see the second one.
I realized how glad I was to join the tour since I wouldn't have known the spots on my own. On the way back, I relaxed on the boat while enjoying beer and cocktails while watching the video the crew had taken.
朝6時半のピックアップはちょっと眠たかったけど、船に乗ったら目が覚めました。
昨年ハワイ島(キャプテンクック)でシュノーケリングをしたときには、水もあまりきれいでなく魚ももう一つだったので、今年もあまり期待をしていなかったのですが、モロキニ島は、結構水もきれいで魚もたくさんいました。パイプウニヤカワハギ系の魚、チョウチョウウオも数種類いて、まあ、満足。
1時間ほどして、次のウミガメポイントへ。水はあまりきれいでなかったので、ウミガメが見れるかどうか心配だったのですが、ほぼ一番乗りで海に入ったのが幸いで、すぐに1頭に遭遇しました。まだ、あまり人がいなかったので、ゆったり泳いでいる姿を堪能できました。ここでも1時間近く泳いでいましたが、モロキニに比べ魚も少なく、やっぱり目当てはウミガメ。そろそろ終わりかという時に、少し離れたところにカメがいるとガイドの人が教えてくれたので、全速力でそちらに向かい2頭目を見ることができました。
自分ではポイントなどわからないし、ツアーに参加してよかったと思った瞬間でした。帰りの船中では、クルーが撮ったビデオを見ながらビールやカクテルを飲んでゆったりできました。
Enjoyed Wayne's, (the driver)knowledge of Maui & ability to navigate smoothly the route to Hana. Spectacular view of the crater was well worth the experience. Wouldn't hesitate to endorse this activity. Aloha
We're always happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour experience, Steven, but it's even more wonderful to know that you left having gained so much knowledge about Maui! We'll certainly pass along your praises to Wayne, and we hope you'll consider joining us for another adventure someday. Many thanks for the fabulous review and your recommendation.
Mahalo,

I surprised my husband Curt, with the Deluxe Sunset Cocktail Sail from Kaanapali Beach. We had an awesome time. I would recommend it to anyone, the views were spectular. The staff was very accommodating, fun, knowledgable. We will do this again, next summer.

Our tour guide was ERic and he was EXTREMELY knowlegable about ALL the plant life and its benefits and uses in the rianforest. I loved jumping off the 10-15 foot waterfalls and eating the fresh fruits
This was my 4th luau and it was top notch. The staff was friendly and the food and entertainment were awesome. The event was very well organized and the venue was perfect.
I would give this 4 1/2 stars! My husband and I ended up getting a private tour because no one else signed up! Our guide was great (didn't give name)-he constantly was bringing things back up to the surface to show us and was very knowledgable about anything we asked about. I had a very personal and special experience with a female turtle while snorkeling and we saw some while kayaking, but I thought we would see more at the turtle cleaning station. Would recommend this to anyone with experience. The total time was good but we wish it could have been a little longer-our guide didn't want us to be on choppy waters. Our tour was around 3 hrs. They provide you with snacks and water. Our guide was snapping pictures for us and will e-mail them to us for free! Can't wait to see them! Mahalo to our guide and this company!!
Tip: After you are done, ask your guide about the Jaws Food Truck-delicious fish tacos and burritos with snacks and smoothies!
Since it was early in the morning, I was worried about whether they would come to pick us up properly, but it was fine. I took my 8-year-old and 5-year-old children with me. Even in July, it was really cold. The wind was strong, and the perceived temperature was below freezing. Long sleeves, long pants, a large windbreaker blanket, and earmuffs would be best. After that, when we were at the volcanic crater or the summit, it was sunny, so the blanket was unnecessary. I think the children will never forget this experience. It is also possible to view the sunrise from inside the building.
朝早いので←2時半
ちゃんと迎えにくるか心配でしたが、大丈夫でした。8歳と5歳のこども連れていきました。
7月でもとにかく寒い。風強く、体感温度は零下です。
長袖長ズボン、風よけのでかい毛布、耳当てがあればベスト。
その後、火山口や山頂のときは、太陽でてるので、毛布は不要です。
こどもたちには、忘れられないと思います。
建物のなかから、サンライズを拝むことも可能。
Did on first day on island as already in time warp. Amazing.
I highly recommend this cruise. The food and wait staff were top notch. Beautiful view of the island and sunset. Very worth the cost. The Mai Tai was so good I ordered a second one and that is not my drink of choice. lol
Had mechanical problems before our scheduled time and we got started 15 minutes late but still got back in time for the next group to go. Didn't get the full hour. Saw some fish but not as many as expected. Saw more fish snorkeling. Was interesting to have someone show and tell what creatures were there.
