We did the Hana/Haleakala flight. We felt like we were on our way to Jurassic Park while we were flying over Hana. The whole flight was just non-stop jaw dropping beauty all around you. When we made the transition to Haleakala it was like we were flying over Mars. We had taken tours of Hana and Haleakala, but is truly a different experience when you see it from the sky.

I read a lot of books about WWII, and I've also watched many documentaries about WWII. It was such a rewarding experience to visit one of the most historically important sites in America. You can see where WWII started for the United States, as well as, where the Japanese surrendered (On the USS Missouri). If you are in Hawaii, visiting Pearl Harbor is a must. Even if you are not a history buff, the historical significance of Pearl Harbor is something that should not be overlooked.

We participated as a family. The Japanese staff member, Takako, explained everything very thoroughly, which allowed us to smoothly enjoy snorkeling together. We were satisfied to see three sea turtles, but the water temperature was lower than we expected, and the kids quickly got cold and wanted to come back up. I recommend that everyone bring a rash guard and rent a wetsuit when you participate.
家族で参加して来ました。
日本人スタッフのタカコさんがすごく丁寧に説明していただいたので、スムーズにシュノーケリングを家族で行うことができました。
海亀も3匹も見ることができ満足だったのですが、思ったより水温が低く、子供は寒いとすぐに上がってしまいました。
皆さんも参加される時はラッシュガード持参の上でウエットスーツのレンタルをされるのをお勧めします。

A little bit corney, but fun nevertheless. I took my daughters to the show and they did enjoy it. This is not broadway and I doubt it has anything to do with Hawaiian culture, but iw was a fun time. All the dancers were great. The fire dance is obviously the big draw and it worth it.

I participated with my 12-year-old son on March 24, 2010. Although we had snorkeling experience in Oahu, it was our first time in Maui. The boat for this tour was large and impressive, unlike the smaller boats we had in Oahu, and my son didn't get seasick.
There were only two Japanese families participating, including us, so there was just one Japanese staff member. However, they were very attentive and provided us with timely information, allowing us to act smoothly and enjoy the activities.
The water clarity at Molokini exceeded our expectations. You could almost see the seabed from the surface! While there weren't an overwhelming number of fish, we still had a good time. We also moved to a spot where turtles were supposed to be, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any.
From a Japanese perspective, it gets quite cold when you come out of the water, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear on top. The meeting place, Ma'alaea Harbor, can also be windy and chilly in the morning.
3/24,2010に12歳の息子と二人で参加しました。オアフ島でのシュノーケリング経験はあったものの、マウイは初めてでした。オアフでは船というよりボートでしたが、このツアーの船は大きく立派で、息子も船酔いをせずに済みました。
今回参加の日本人は私たち親子と、もう一組の親子連れだけでしたので日本人のスタッフは一人だけでしたが、細やかに気を使って下さり、早め早めの情報を頂けたのでスムーズに行動が出来、アクティビティを楽しむことができました。
モロキニの水の透明度は聞きしに勝るものでした。水面から海底が見える!と言ってもいいくらいの透明度です。
魚は、驚くほど沢山はいませんでしたが、楽しめました。
また、亀のいる場所へ移動してシュノーケリングをしましたが、残念ながら私たちは見ることができませんでした。
日本人の体感だと、水からあがるとかなり寒いので、上に着るものは準備していった方がいいと思います。
集合場所のマアエラハーバーも朝は風があって寒いですしね。

We found the tour to be everything we expected. Apart from some delays with pick up from the airport/Honolulu, all else proceeded as planned. The memorial experience was very emotional yet rewarding and an experience not to be missed.
The remainder of the tour was most interesting during the sightseeing in the area and our tour guide kept us well informed regarding the history etc.

Being from Kansas, my family and I don't exactly get too many opportunities to go kayaking in the ocean, so when my son asked if we could do the kayaking and whale watching, I was little scared but now I am so glad that I did it! This was such a great tour from the moment we met our guide up until we came back to shore. Seeing whales while in our kayaks was completely breathtaking and the professionalism displayed by the guides was top notch. Keep it up folks!

I participated in a tour on October 6th, and I'm a banker with a henna tattoo on my arm.
The clarity of the water at Molokini is amazing! I signed up for the snuba as an add-on, but I couldn't go deep because I couldn't use the ear plugs. However, I recommend it because you can see different scenery compared to snorkeling. The sea turtle spot was truly filled with turtles (laughs). I lost count of how many I saw... While I was popping my head out of the water, trying to find my friend, people around me gestured, "Next to you, next to you!" When I looked over, there was a turtle that had come up for air right next to me! I hurriedly moved away, but I was so excited and moved to see it breathing and moving its eyes up close.
The staff member Takako was very helpful, accompanying me since I was anxious about swimming and taking many underwater photos with my friend. The luau show she recommended was really great!
I also encountered a pod of wild dolphins, making it an incredibly rare experience. I highly recommend this tour! ★

モロキニの透明度はすごいですね!追加で申し込んだスヌーバは耳貫ができなかったので深くまで行けませんでしたが、シュノーケリングとは違った景色と出会えるのでお勧めです。
ウミガメスポットは本当にもうカメだらけ(笑)何匹見たことか・・・。私が海面から顔を出し、アップアップしながら友人を探していると周りの人が「となり、となり!」とジェスチャー。「ん?」と見ると、呼吸をするために上がってきたカメさんが真隣に居たんです!慌てて離れましたが、呼吸をするところや目を動かしているところが間近で見れて大感動・大興奮でした。

The snorkeling experience was breath taking,literally!! I hadn't snorkeled in years and had a hard time not breathing through my nose. The team worked with me to get be back in the water and snorkel. The team was very friendly and connected with everyone in a personal level. The boat was smooth ride, which surprisingly didn't get my husband sea sick. We had a great time snorkeling Molokini crater and searching for sea turltles along the shore. We weren't able to snorkel turtle town due to the murky waters, however, snorkeling the back of Molokini crater was also a unique experience. We would definitely take this snorkeling tour again and recommend it to anyone!!!

I participated on October 14, 2009.
In the morning, the pickup was at 8:04, so it didn't feel too early, and I wasn't too sleepy, which was great!
The boat was very sturdy, the lunch was delicious, and above all, there were two Japanese instructors, which made me feel very reassured and supported!
And the clarity of the sea! It was much more amazing than I had imagined, and I couldn't believe I was in the water! The water temperature was around 25 degrees, and my child and I went in without renting wetsuits, but if you're really not good with the cold, you can rent one for about $10, so I recommend that. If you're not a strong swimmer, you can borrow a floatation device, and the guides will watch over you in the water, so it's very safe.
One disappointing thing was that we couldn't see any sea turtles. Some people in our group were able to see them, so I guess we were just unlucky... If we had seen the sea turtles, it would have definitely been a five-star experience!
I was blown away by the clarity of Molokini, and I definitely want to go diving next time!
Overall, I think this tour is perfect for making memories!
2009年10月14日に参加しました。
朝は8:04にピックアップでそれほど早いとかんじることもなく朝早く眠くて大変だったということもありませんでした(^^)
船はとてもしっかりしたものでランチもおいしかったし、なにより日本人のインストラクターの方が2人もいてとても安心しましたし心強かったです!
そして海の透明度!!これは想像していたよりずっっっとすばらしいもので水の中にいるとは思えませんでした!水温は25度くらいで、私達親子はウェットスーツは借りずに入りましたが、寒いのがすごく苦手!という方は確か10ドルくらいで借りることができるのでそちらをおすすめします。泳ぐのが苦手という方も体を浮かしてくれる棒を借りれるしガイドの方が海の中で見ててくれるので安心です☆
1つ残念だったのが海亀を見ることができなかったこと(><)
一緒に行った人の中では見れた人もいたようなので私達は運が悪かったんだと諦めてはいますが・・・もし海亀が見れていたら珍しさも☆5つでした!
モロキニの透明度にやられてしまい、次は絶対ダイビングをしたいです!!
とにかくこのツアー思い出作りにはもってこいだと思います

I participated on October 6th as a nurse. Molokini is absolutely wonderful. That blue color is truly special. I usually can't be without my glasses due to my eyesight, but the world I saw in that ocean was completely different from my everyday life. I think it's because of the high transparency, but above all, the blue! The moment I entered the water from the boat and dipped my face in, the blue was just mesmerizing. The freshly made cheeseburger with a patty was delicious too!
I was feeling very satisfied, but then a pod of dolphins suddenly appeared, and I was not just satisfied, but extremely excited! They swam alongside the boat and showed off their spin jumps; the surprise of encountering wild dolphins is unforgettable.
The turtle spot afterward was also incredibly exciting! Even though you're not supposed to touch them, they come so close that it's thrilling, yet I found myself thinking, "Don't come so close!" many times! The staff member Takako was also very kind to us.
While chatting about some adult topics (laughs), I went to the luau that you recommended, and it was absolutely fantastic. I mean, it was just the best! There's no way you can go to Maui and not visit Molokini! I absolutely recommend it!

My girlfriend and I used Aqua Adventure on the 14th of August and it was great. The crew was easy to get along with and they were very helpful with the snuba part of the adventure. I would recommend them to anybody who wants more of a one on one experience they had a small group so it was a lot easier moving around on the boat. The only thing is they need to seperate the twosomes more on the tie line during the snuba dive so they don't run it to each other or get tangled. I was worried about the underwater breathing but it was very easy to do. Hope you give them a shot they are well worth it.

On August 9, 2009, I participated with my family of three. We had seen shows in Waikiki before, but this was our first time attending an outdoor luau show. Most participants were from the mainland or foreign countries, and we were the only Japanese group that day. There were about 3% of people of Asian descent, but everyone spoke English fluently, and we communicated in English with those sitting next to us. We also did our best to enjoy ourselves with our limited English. Communication is all about the mindset... I learned how to give tips to the staff by watching others. The show started as the venue was bathed in the orange glow of dusk, and I thought it was a wonderful performance, ranging from traditional hula to fire dancing. On the way back, taxis were waiting outside the venue, so we called one over to take us to our hotel. It became a great memory.
09年8月9日に家族3人で参加しました。これまでワイキキでショーなど見てきましたが、野外で行われるルアウショーへの参加は初めてでした。参加者は本土の方や外国の方がほとんどで、この日参加した日本人は我々1組でした。東洋系の人が3%程度いますが、皆英語が流暢で、隣になった人達と英語でコミュニケートしています。私達も片言の英語でがんばり楽しみました。コミュニケーションは気持ちのもちようですから・・・。 ボーイさんへのチップの渡し方なども見様見真似で覚えました。ショーは夕暮れのオレンジに会場が色づくころ始まり、伝統的なフラからファイアーダンスまで素晴らしいショーだと思います。帰りは、タクシーが会場の外で待っているので、適当に声をかけて宿泊先のホテルまで送ってもらいました。いい思い出となりました。

Overall we had a pretty good time at the luau. The food was pretty good. Better than just decent, but not the best or anything. The hostess was great, very funny and sincere. Most of the luaus are sound pretty similar when you read the descriptions, but this also included unlimited drinks and was a little less expensive. The show itself seemed really short, because I was very intrigued by the different dances. Get there early! there was a long line, and they were sold out of the $15pp "VIP" option. i'm not really sure it's worth it anyway. you get up front seating and get in line for food first, but we had a decent view from our seats in the back and the food line went pretty quick! My mom used to dance hawaiian and tahitian, so i was familiar with costumes, props, etc and they seem pretty authentic.

My wife was having difficulty adjusting to breathing with the regulator and was on the verge of a full blown panic attack. I had actually thought she was heading back to the boat but the next thing I knew, she was swimming right beside me. The diver/guide had removed her weight belt to let her get used to breathing underwater and then put it back on. She absolutely did not give up on my wife and had her underwater in no time. It would have been real easy to just let her go back to the boat, but she just wouldn't take no for an answer and we are glad she didn't. The dive was the one of the highlights of our trip!!! Many thanks to the staff!!!

This was our 2nd luau during our trip. Unfortunately, it was only mediocre. With the setting beside a Hotel, it lacked any cultural flavor. The emcee was just that. We felt like we were watching a performer. The food was lack-luster but the performers were amazing ! The mai tais barely qualified as "cocktails". Would not recommend this luau unless it's your best choice for convenience.

When I see the ocean, I remember. Especially in summer!!!
I participated in the tour last September. Sorry for the delay.
I joined with my husband.
There is a Japanese staff member, so even first-timers can participate with peace of mind.
I'm not a strong swimmer, so I thought I might just wait on the boat, but I was amazed by the beauty and clarity of the ocean and decided to give it a try!!
They provide life jackets and long sticks to help, so as long as you're not a complete non-swimmer, you'll be fine.
On our way to the spot where the sea turtles are, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins!! The staff were so excited by the large number of dolphins; it seems to be a rare occurrence.
Of course, we got to see the sea turtles!
Their eyes were so beautiful... they were close enough to touch, but I held back out of fear of a fine.
