Bob was so entertaining and informative! He made the early morning quite pleasant. However, I think arriving at Haleakala 75 minutes before sunrise was a bit too soon. Too much time to stand around and be cold. Also, the bus was a little small and cramped for leg room. The payoff, the spectacular sunrise, was exceptional.

We just took this trip last week and had a great time. This was our first time snorkeling and the staff was so helpful in getting our gear ready and giving us pointers on what to do to make the most of our snorkeling adventure. We did see whales, dolphins and sea turtles!! The lunch was great! I would definitely make this a stop for us again in the future.

Our day started with a guided tour around the Maui Dragon Fruit Farm. The tour started with our guide sharing their story about the farm and how Dragon fruit helps your health.... very interesting! The farm is really big and has other crops than Dragon Fruit.

Aqua Ball was a BLAST!! My kids and I had such an incredible time jumping into the ball (which contains water so remember to bring your swim suit) and rolled down the course. Super Fun!!

Next up was the zipline! It was great zipping across the farm but I only wish the lines were higher and longer so it would be more thrilling! However, it was perfect since I was traveling with my 7 year old daughter.

OVERALL, This tour was educational, unique and FUN!! I will definitely suggest this tour to all of my friends who visit Maui!!

The snorkeling was great with clear waters and lots of fish, and we even saw sea turtles up close. We spotted whales too, the hamburgers were delicious, and the snooba was good. But the best part was definitely the boat ride back. The wind was strong and we got soaked from the splashes, but it felt like riding a roller coaster at an amusement park, and it was so much fun. I want to go again next time.

シュノーケルは海はきれいで魚がたくさん、海亀も一杯近くで見れました。鯨も見れたし、ハンバーガーはおいしいし、スヌーバも良かった。けどなんといっても一番良かったのは帰りの船。風が強く波しぶきでビショビショになりましたがほとんど遊園地のコースターに乗ってる感覚で凄く楽しめました。
また次回も行きたいです。

We saw lots of dolphins, 5 turtles, and many whales swimming around our boat!!! Best trip ever!!! We def will do it again!!!

The song says"Catch a wave and your sitting on top of the world" I DID IT!! On Feb. 13th I had the unique chance to learn how to surf. Let me say I am 65 years old and our(my) instructor Stacey did it all right. I had good "pre-flight" instruction and indeed got up on 3 waves. I did not stand up, but the feeling of being on a board on my knees was remarkable. From check-in to instruction to surfing..it was all ONO. Mahalo guys it was SUPER.

The activity was great. We seen many sets of moms and babies. One of the babies was putting on a show for about 30 minutes. We were all very entertained. Would highly recommend this activity.

We were really looking forward to going to Pearl Harbor, I booked a Tour as I felt that would be the best for us as we were staying in Maui. Well by the time we picked everyone up and then got to Pearl Harbor we realized another group on the tour had to be at the airport at 4:00 so it was not a lot of time. I felt to much time was spent on the Bowfin (which we really did not care to much about) and not enough time for the rest of Pearl Harbor. We only had a few minutes really on the MO and not enough time to see Hanger 79 and other things on the Island. For what we paid to do this tour it really was a big disappointment. Wish we would have just flown over and did the tour ourselves. But our guide whom we called Auntie Em was excellent!!!

Tour was great - staff was very knowledgeable and super friendly - interacted well with all age groups on the tour. Had a fantastic time - saw lots of whales. Boat felt very safe. Would definitely repeat this tour with this company.

Before departing for my trip, I decided to participate based on the information that there are so many whales around Maui at this time of year that it's called "whale soup." Since I was staying at a hotel in Ka'anapali, it was very convenient that the whale watching tour was the only one departing from Ka'anapali, while most others were from Lahaina. I was able to see many whale backs and tails, but it was a bit disappointing that I only saw their heads and full jumps once. However, it was a fun two hours as I shared the joy of spotting whales with the staff and other guests. Motion sickness medication is a must.

旅行出発前に、今の時期マウイ島周辺の海は、クジラスープと呼ばれるほどたくさんのクジラがいるらしい・・・という情報から参加を決めました。カアナパリのホテルに滞在していた為、ラハイナ発のホエールウォッチングが多い中、唯一カアナパリ発だったのでとても便利でした。たくさんのクジラ達の背中や尾は見えましたが、頭やジャンプをして全体の姿を現してくれたのは1回だけだったので少し残念でした。でもスタッフの方や他のお客さんと共に、クジラを見つけた時に歓声をあげて喜びを共有できて楽しい2時間でした。酔い止めは必須です。

It was my first time snorkeling. The sudden experience in the deep sea was quite a challenge. It was a bit disappointing that the water was cold and there weren't many fish, but I encountered turtles and whales, and I thoroughly enjoyed the attentive service from the staff and the delicious meals.

初めてのスノーケリングでした。いきなりの深海での体験は凄く度胸がいりました。水が冷たくてあまり魚がいなかったのは残念ですが、亀にも鯨にも遭遇し、スタッフのきめ細かな対応や食事の美味しさで、充分堪能しました。

Our family of 4 enjoyed this trip so much! We had a bit of trouble finding the boat (not the marina) due to construction and limited parking, but once we walked on board, it was fun and relaxing. The people are terrific and you can tell they love their jobs being on that boat-very friendly and entertaining. Breakfast muffins, bagels, fruit and coffee were available as the boat took us out to Molokini (about 30 mins.) and an enormous whale leaped right in front of the boat! There were many more to be seen that day but it want an exciting start. Molokini was not overrated! Underwater Discovery Channel complete with tons of colorful fish, strange anemones and even a purple jelly fish. It was so beautiful against the wall of the crater. I swam back to the boat quickly to buy the $25, reusable underwater camera because it was so magical. The pix came out great! My 7 year old was nervous at first b/c she'd never snorkled, but the crew worked with her 1-on-1, made her laugh, gave her a noodle

I chose this activity for its uniqueness. You rode a horse high up to the mountain top and were given photo options using your own camera. You were matched to a horse that suited your riding experience. The riding was either up a mountain or down a mountain. Very little on the flat lie. Once to the bottom, the view of the ocean was fantastic. Again, photo options were great. The staff was most obliging. My only concern was that the
one guide's horse and the horse I was given did not get along. Everytime the guide came to check on me, my horse would fold its ears back, tremble and prepare to bolt and often broke into a canter. It was a very unnerving feeling for a beginner rider. There was only two times available to canter for the experienced riders and it was only going uphill for a short stretch. Our group had three such riders.
If you are out for fantastic views, great photo ops, then this is the ride for you.
If you are out for a lovely ride then forget this outing.

My husband and I recently went on the afternoon snorkeling cruise on the Four Winds and it was fantastic! The price was spot on and we felt it was the best value for our money of any activity we did. The cruise was very safe and very fun too. We went during January and we got the added perk of seeing the humpback whales. It was such a great added bonus that we didn't have to take a whale watching cruise in addition. The crew was so friendly and embraced the laid back Hawaiian attitude. The Captain was very knowledgeable about the whales and gave us lots of information while we were watching them. The wet suit add on (for $5) was also a good thing to get as it helped me not to be quite so cold in the water. The optional lunch for $7 was also a decent quality as you could choose from chicken, burgers, hot dogs, or bar-b-que as well as chips. The complementary sodas, beer and wine were also pretty nice. They also had a hose with a shower nozzle on board so you could rinse off af

An enjoyable boat ride, sit back and enjoy the scenery, maybe you'll see a humpback whale. If it's rough you might want Dramamine, I don't see any cautionary statements like that; but we've seen people get sea sick on other boats. The day we crossed it was calm and we had a nice passage. Staff was friendly and professional.

This was the second Luau of our trip. We scheduled this as our new years eve activity. This was aperformance by a professional dance group. Each song and dance was an good "act". But just that. I did not get the feeling of the culture and the sense of enjoyment that I recieved from the first Luau I attended.

Unfortunately it was raining on the night we went, were handed plastic poncho's at the door to an outdoor cement courtyard and facing away from the beach. This was disappointing compared to others I had read about. We paid extra for preferred seating, which was probably better than sitting up the back. Our table service was not good and agree with other reviews the Mai Tai's were awful, had to go to the bar to ask for wine instead. Still all in all it was what a Laua is all about, the dancers were great, had a good laugh at them doing the NZ Huka. Would still recommend.

This was my son's first snuba experience and he loved it. He's 9 and didn't have any trouble. The guide, Jamie, was awesome.

The crew, especially Captain John, was also great. We even spotted some whale during the excursion.

I'd recommend it to anyone.

I participated alone from 9 AM, and since there were about 13 people in a 45-person capacity, I was able to enjoy it comfortably. I recommend the early morning trip since the next one was fully booked with 45 people.

When I think of submarines, I remember DisneySea, but this time it was the real ocean, which was exciting. It was great to see many fish and rays, but if I could have seen sharks or whales, my rating would have gone up even more (laughs).

But since these are natural creatures, there's not much you can do about that. The crew members were very kind. By the way, the person at the check-in counter was Japanese. Also, the weather in Maui has been bad lately, so I recommend checking the weather for a week and participating on a clear day (^^).

午前9時から一人で参加しましたが、45人乗りのところを13人くらいだったのでゆったりと楽しむことができました。次の便では45人満杯だったので朝一の便をおすすめします。

潜水艦といえばディズニーシーを思い出しますが、今回は本物の海でしたので興奮しました。たくさんの魚とエイを見れたのはよかったのですが、サメやクジラが見れたらさらに評価は上がっていたでしょう（笑

でも自然の生き物ですからこのあたりは仕方ないですね。クルーの皆さんはとても親切でした。ちなみにチェックインカウンターの受付の方が日本人の方でした。あと、ここ最近のマウイは天気が悪いので、参加されるときは1週間の天気を調べて快晴の時に参加することをおすすめします(^^)

I participated alone this time, but there were two pairs of women as well. Additionally, there were two Japanese guides, which made me feel secure while enjoying snorkeling and snuba.

As for seasickness, I took some motion sickness medication just before departure, but I didn't feel sick and was able to enjoy myself. Regarding the water temperature, it can be quite cold during this season, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I wore a swimsuit underneath and put on a wetsuit over it, but I still started to feel cold, so it was a race against time.

I was able to see two sea turtles up close, which was very enjoyable. There were also many fish swimming around, and some people even saw a manta ray. The breakfast and lunch on the boat were delicious, and I was satisfied with the tour since I could enjoy beer and Mai Tai on the way back.

Snuba is an optional activity, and for some reason, only the five of us Japanese signed up for it. It was quite fun as you can dive down about 3 meters, so I recommend it. Thank you very much to the two female guides!

私は今回一人での参加だったのですが、他に女性のペアが二組いらっしゃいました。また、日本人ガイドの方も二人いらっしゃったので安心してシュノーケリングとスヌーバを楽しむことができました。

船酔いについては念のため酔い止めを出発するあたりで飲んでおきましたが、酔うことはなく楽しむことができました。次に水温ですが、この時期はけっこう冷たいのでボディースーツ？をレンタルすることをおすすめします。私は水着上下を着ていて、その上にボディースーツを着用しましたが、それでもだんだんと身体が冷えてきたので時間との戦いです。

ウミガメは二匹を間近で見ることができてとても楽しかったです。魚もたくさん泳いでいましたし、マンタを見れた方もいたそうです。船上での朝食とランチも美味しくいただきましたし、帰りはビールやＭＡＩ−ＴＡＩを飲めたので満足できるツアーでした。

スヌーバはオプションで、申し込んだのはどういうわけか私達日本人５名だけでした。３ｍくらい下まで潜れるのでけっこう楽しかったですしおすすめですよ。
お二人の女性ガイドの方、大変ありがとうございました！

On the day of the event, due to strong winds, we couldn't go to Molokini Island and were taken to a different spot. I felt reassured that the staff spoke Japanese from the hotel pickup. I thought it might be cold, but after borrowing a wetsuit, we were ready to go! The staff member, Takako, was very helpful, especially since most of us were beginners. At the second spot, we encountered sea turtles, which was very satisfying. The water temperature was not as low as I expected, and I had a wonderful time swimming with many fish. Although the activities depend on the weather, we were taken to two spots, and we had plenty of time at each, so it really felt like we swam a lot. I had a blister on my foot from traveling, so I couldn't wear fins, but the staff provided precise instructions about safety, which I greatly appreciated. I had snorkeling experience in Australia before, but thanks to Takako, I had a really enjoyable time this time. Looking back, I wish I had borrowed a camera; it would have been nice to have more information on how to take pictures during the camera rental explanation. I was worried about dropping it, so I didn't borrow one, but now I regret not doing so. The big cookies and the hamburgers cooked on the boat were delicious, and I would love to experience this again. Thank you!

11/27当日は、強風で結局モロキニ島には行けず違うスポットへ案内してもらいました。ホテルのピックアップから日本語の通じるスタッフの方で安心でした。寒いかなと思いましたが、ウエットスーツを借り、いざ！　スタッフのTAKAKOさん、ほぼ初心者ぞろいだったと思うのですが、いろいろ細かく教えて下さりありがとうございました。二番目のスポットではウミガメとも遭遇でき、大満足。思ったより水温も低くなく、たくさんのお魚たちとランデブーいたしました。その日の天候に左右されるアクティビティーですが、二か所のスポットへ連れて行って頂き、各々の時間も充分だったので、「泳いだー」って感じでした。旅行中足にできた靴ずれで足ひれがつけられなかったのですが、足ひれがないと流されるからと的確な指示を下さり、安全に留意頂き大変お世話になりました。以前オーストラリアでシュノーケリングの経験がありましたが、今回のTAKAKOさんのおかげで、とっても楽しく過ごせました。あとになってみると、カメラを借りておけばよかったなと思いました、カメラのレンタルの説明の時に撮り方（きっと簡単なんでしょうけれど）とか、どんな写真が撮れるかとかもう少し教えてもらえたらよかったかな、借りて落っことしちゃったら困るかななんて考えて借りませんでしたが、やっぱり借りとけばよかったなと後悔しきり。おっきなクッキーや船上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーも美味しかったです、また体験したいです、ありがとう！

We have been on three or four other snorkel trips in Hawaii and this is by the far the best. The ship is in excellent condition, and the skipper and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. They made it a wonderful time for all on board! They even stopped during their regular trip to show us spinner dolphins (twice) and an early season whale.

Pros: Food was delicious, service was good and the views were great, the music was great!
Cons: The seating was very uncomfortable, the chairs were bolted down and the seating was very close. I have been on a few other cruises, and was much more comfortable on them. Would not do it again.

I recommend it.
It's very beautiful and has high transparency.
I would like to participate again if I go to Maui.

おすすめです。
とてもきれいで透明度が高い。
またマウイに行ったら参加したいオプショナルです。

This is a Fantastic way to spend 1/2 of a day. The crew and Captain couldn't have been any nicer or more informative. The ride out to the dive/snorkeling site was fairly short, and the snorkeling was awesome. My husband really enjoyed the snubbing, I tried, but was unable to actually do it, the instructor tried her best to help me, but after several attempts I decided to stick with the snorkeling, which worked for me, because as I stated, it was awesome. We saw lots of beautiful fish. The second site they took us to had several turtles, and even more beautiful fish the closer you ventured into the coral. They provided a nice lunch, and continental breakfast. I had booked this activity a month or so in advance, and was really looking forward to it...I was not disappointed.

I can't physically snorkel so this was the next best thing. We saw a shark immediately--pretty cool. The staff was wonderful. The divers brought sea life to the windows for all to view. We wish we could have seen more diversity, but no one can control mother nature. We had fun and enjoyed the sea life we did see.

The staff of Aqua Adventures were professional, friendly, and very confidence inspiring. We felt completely safe and able to enjoy ourselves without any worries. From the moment we checked in, they set a tone of relaxation and fun that carried through to the very end. Oh, and the Maitais were amazing :)

Had a lot of fun

Food was good and wonderful views from the top deck...music to be serenaded by in the back ground was quite nice as well. One thing we noticed is there were some empty tables and they could have spaced the couples out a little more to fill the tables and to give a more private setting for some couples to be a little more private with each other. They could have also sailed up or down the coast a little instead of just coasting around Lihania might made for some nice scenery sightings as well...but overall it's worth it !!!!

We went on our honeymoon.
On the day, there were only four Japanese people, including us, and just one Japanese staff member.

They were very kind and taught us a lot, like saying we could be the first to enter if we lined up here, and that it would be better to do this first. They were very considerate.

I'm not very good at swimming, but since there are wetsuits available, even if I get carried away while snorkeling, they monitor us from above in a canoe, guiding us to make sure we don't stray too close to the island.

新婚旅行で行きました。
当日は、日本人が私たち含めて４名しかいなかったので、
日本人スタッフは一人。

とっても親切にしてくださって、ここに並んでたら一番に入れるよ~とか、これは先にしておいたほうがいいよ~ってたくさん教えてくれたし、気を使ってくれました。


あまり泳ぎが得意ではないけど、ウェットスーツもあるし、
シュノーケルに夢中で流されても、カヌーで上から監視してくれてるので、ちゃんとはぐれないように、島に近づき過ぎないように誘導してくれます。
