Crew was very friendly and helpful. Great place to go snokeling. Even food was good. Well wirth money and time

We had an amazing afternoon last Thursday. The crew were amazing. They gave my son (almost 2) a floatation device to lie on with a window and he saw everything that we were looking at during Molokini snorkelling. Wonderful family memories for the 3 of us :)

This is a great inexpensive way to experience another island in Hawaii. The trip is only 45 minutes and the view is amazing. The staff is friendly and the boat is clean with comfortable seating.

We had a wonderful time. Luke our instructor was fantastic, he was patient and encouraging and spent the time to make sure we knew what to do. It was a fantastic experience.

Initially, we planned to go to Haleakalā on our own, but joining this tour was definitely the right choice. Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, had an amazing spirit of hospitality. At the stop at Kula Lodge, he said, "I'm not a salesperson," yet he kindly explained the recommended products, which contributed quite a bit to their sales (laughs).

The sunset over the sea of clouds was incredibly beautiful. It felt like being in heaven. While it seems that the sunrise tour is more popular, it was emphasized that the sunset offers a more beautiful sky due to the fine dust in the air. There were many thoughtful touches for participants, such as providing chairs for stargazing. It truly felt like "the joy of the customer is the joy of oneself," which must mean this is his calling. While watching the stars, we realized how small we are. The trivial annoyances of daily life were forgotten.

This time, the light from the half-moon prevented us from seeing shooting stars, so I would like to join again during the new moon.

当初は自分たちでハレアカラに行く予定でいましたが、こちらのツアーに参加して大正解でした。ガイドの山内さんのおもてなし精神が素晴らしいです。途中立ち寄ったクラロッジでは「お店の回し者ではないけど」と言いつつ、丁寧におすすめ商品の説明をして下さり、かなり売り上げに貢献してしまいました（笑）
雲海に沈むサンセット、とても美しかったです。まるで天国にいるみたいでした。ツアーとしてはサンライズの方が人気があるようですが、サンセットだと空気中に微細な塵があるために空の染まりがより美しいと力説されてました。星空観察もチェアーを用意するなど、参加者への心遣いがたくさん感じられました。まさに「お客様の喜びは自身の喜び」といった感じで、天職なのでしょうね。星を見ながら我々がいかに小さな存在であることを実感しました。日常のささいな嫌なことが忘れられました。
今回は半月の光が邪魔をして降るような星は見られなかったので、次回は新月の時に合わせて参加したいです。

My mom, aunt, and I went ziplining and aqua balling and we had the time of our lives. I had the pleasure of speaking to Crystal one of the owners on the phone before we went and she was so polite and so inviting. We called the day before and she fit all three of us in. When we got there we had people already waiting outside for us and flagging us down. Andrew and Taylor were the people that helped us when we got there. They were so polite and made us feel very welcome. They calmed our nerves, answered all our questions and were very knowledgeable. They really love what they do and made us feel like friends visiting the farm. The farm is beautiful and intriguing. Dawn is the farm manager and she walked us to our car and showed us some more beauty about the farm. She was a sweetheart and made us feel so welcome we didn't want to leave! If anyone wants to have a good time I highly suggest you do the combo and hipline and aquaball!!! They are so fun!! Thanks so much guys!

I would suggest anyone to do it in the morning because in the afternoon it's way too short, you get about 1hr to snorkel because it takes more than one hour to get to molokini and another to get back. Everything was a lot of fun but I WOULD NEVER DO THE SNUBA OPTION AGAIN - it's a different business so you'd have to pay there, me and my husband were both disappointed, it's not that much of a difference from snorkeling because the line isn't too long, it's just 30 mins of the time you're there, the guy running it was extremely rude and you have to pay an additional 60$ per person, NOT WORTH IT!
But apart from the snuba issue, the rest of the trip was fun, and bbq lunch was good! Molokini is beautiful.

THE KIDS WERE SO ENTERATINED AS WERE MOM AND DAD AND THERE WAS SO MUCH FOOD TO PICK FROM NO ONE COULD HAVE GONE HUNGRY!

Beautiful, magnificent, spectacular, and extraordinary. Just a few words that come to mind when talking about my experience with this activity. I knew that while I was on Maui, that I wanted to go scuba diving. Unfortunately, you have to be certified to go scuba diving. So, I did the next best thing. I went on a snorkel/snuba diving adventure. Not only was the experience breathe taking, but the instructors, captain, film crew, and the rest of the staff was so courteous and knowledgeable. Any questions, comments, or concerns you have they are more than willing to go above and beyond your expectations to make you feel comfortable. Well worth every penny I spent on this activity. Anyone who is thinking about going snorkeling, should check out this company. They have amazing customer service which is hard to find. The snuba adventure is unlike anything I've ever tried. You get the opportunity to swim up close and personal with all kinds of sea life. Highly recommend spending the extra money to go snuba diving.

Had a great first trip to Hawaii. This was the highlight of our trip . Great crew, great and plentiful food , great ride out (whales ), Molokini was also great , of course. My brother lives on Maui, we had a great trip.

We had a nice time - some surprises at the end made the drive worth it. Enjoyed the lunch and the helicopter ride as well. Beautiful scenery. Learned a lot about Maui's vegetation, very knowledgeable driver. Only reason I didn't give it the highest rating is that we were expecting to swim in waterfalls or wading pools (the seven pools?). Didn't see the seven pools and the waterfalls were not accessible (and would have been too cold anyway).

As humans we are programmed for self-preservation. Walking off a platform into air is not something that comes naturally. The safety equipment was in tip top shape, the guides were helpful and encouraging. To take the edge off the hesitation they were jovial and kept us in good humor.

A special shout out to Tianna, who was on day 4 of her employment. On my first platform she was giving me words of encouragement that helped me summon up the courage to take that first long step.

Kevin and Bastein rounded out the guides with humor and laughs.

This tour was the best we have taken in Hawaii! Our bus driver, Bob Brown was engaging, making the trip in the bus fun and informative. He gave us extras, taking us to another volcano sight! The food was delicious at the golf course restaurant we were taken to for breakfast! It was cold, so we advise that you plan to dress warmly with even mitten and hat! It is a five star event!

Marco was terrific - lots of interesting history and stories; the weather played along too. I would highly recommend!

This was my second time participating. I invited my mother and a friend to join as well. Since it was a total lunar eclipse, the mountaintop was crowded. After that, we were suddenly hit by winds as strong as a typhoon, which made me realize the wonders of nature. However, the stories and support from the mountain guide warmed our hearts, and all the participants were very satisfied!!! Next time, I want to experience a starry sky at 3,500 meters. I was also given recommendations for delicious food, souvenirs, and restaurants, making it a fun trip to Maui.

今回で2度目の参加。母とお友達も誘い参加しました。
皆既月食という事もあり山頂は混んでいました。
その後、いきなり襲われたのは台風並みの強風
大自然の驚異を実感しました。
しかし山ぴーさんのお話と対応で心温まり
参加者みんなが大満足でした！！！
また次は満点の星空を3500メートルで体験したいです。
美味しい食べ物やおみやげ、そしてレストランまで教えてもらい
楽しいマウイの旅でした。

Had a great time.would not want to drive myself. Well worth it to have someone else drive. Too much to see along the way.the driver Tom was very good. Would recommend the trip to anyone.

My wife and I had a great time on this boating excursion/snorkeling trip today! Kudos to the captain and crew for accommodating the windy conditions and incorporating a whale watching excursion. Really down to earth and relaxed... I will recommend this trip with you to everyone that is visiting Maui. Fun time!!!

Breath taking views of Maui in the helicopter. Also on the van ride back we had some great photo stops. The trip was memorable and stress free. I would recommend it in a heart beat.

I am truly grateful to nature.
I am thankful to Mr. Yamauchi.
No matter how many times I tried, I participated with a flutter of excitement in the face of bad weather posts.
It seems that Haleakalā accepted us, as the sunset sky transformed into a beautiful gradient.
Under the new moon, the stars scattered across the night sky looked like unspoken diamonds.
It’s a perspective on life that makes me feel like I need nothing! I proudly shared that I received a treasure with everyone.
Thank you very much.
In the end, it’s all about the fresh sashimi with lemon salt flavor.

本当に心から自然界に感謝
山内さんに感謝
なんかいトライしても、なかなか悪天候の投稿に、ドキドキしながらの参加、
ハレアカラが受け入れてくれたのか、グラデーションに変わっていくサンセットの空模様
新月の中、ことばにならないダイヤモンドを、夜空にちらばしたような満点の星
（なにもいらねえ)って思える人生観！宝物もらったことを、みんなに自慢しました。
ありがとうございました。
やっぱ、最後は生げそのにぎりで、レモン塩味ですね。

We had fun at this Luau and it was a really good show. This was the second one we did and we had high expectations from what others had told us about the show, we felt that the luau at the Westin Maui was better tho.

This was definitely one of our favorite activities we did on Maui! We took the scenic route from Lahaina to get to the ranch and it was well worth it. The staff was fantastic , the horses well taken care of and a gorgeous ride with a view from every angle.

This was our first time and our instructor Kevin was amazing! He is a great teacher and super fun. We will be back for the more advanced lesson next year.

Beautiful Luau at the Hyatt Regency Maui, especially with the ocean and sunset in the background. The food was great.

The sign in was a mess! We signed up for the VIP seats for $15/person. When we got there they said they've raised their prices to $25 per person. I thought that was odd...I showed them my papers that said $15/person so thats all we paid. The people in front of us had issues too! LOVED the vendors that were there! They had some very nice things and were friendly. The atmosphere was great...by the ocean! The food was as expected....awesome! The Luau was fun and exciting.

I participated on March 9th. The day before, I went whale watching from Lahaina, and we were able to see whales on the way to the snorkeling point. The captain slows down the boat when he spots a whale, which makes everyone very happy.

On the day of the event, there were about 40 participants, and among them, only five were Japanese, including us. Our guide, Takako (who shares the same name as my wife), took great care of us.

As for snorkeling, the visibility and the number/types of fish were somewhat lacking... But since we could see whales during this season, it was still worthwhile. We also spotted three turtles. If you're just looking for turtles, the rocky area behind the power plant at Kahului Harbor is a sea turtle point. There are about 20 floating around. However, unlike Laniakea in Oahu, there are no sandy beaches here, so you won't see them basking on the shore.

３/９に参加しました。前日はラハイナからのホエールウォッチングに行ったのですが、シュノーケリングポイントへの道中クジラを見ることができます。
キャプテンもクジラを見つけるとボートのスピードを落としてくれるのでみんな大喜び。
当日は４０人ほどの参加者で日本人は我々含め５名、ガイドのタカコさん（女房と同名）がいろいろ世話を焼いてくれます。
純然にシュノーケルとしては透明度・魚の数/種類などイマイチの感が・・・
でもこの時期はクジラを見ることが出来るので良しでしょう。
カメもチラチラっと３匹見ることが出来ました。
カメだけでしたら、カフルイ港の発電所裏岩場がシータートルポイントです。
２０匹位浮かんでます。ただオアフのラニアケアと違って砂浜ではないので甲羅干しは見ることが出来ませんが。

Ron was an excellent tour leader and driver. The trip was excellent! Staff at National Park were full of information--especially Nan. Very cold--but I dressed as advised and was comfortable--hat, gloves, polar fleece liner under my unlined parka. Delicious breakfast at end of tour. Wonderful company with the others on our tour. Thanks to Ron and the others involved with this unique adventure!

Ron was out tour leader. Excellent commentary as we drove from 3 am to 10 am. It was rainy and foggy as we drove up to the volcano in the dark but Ron kept up the banter of telling us information while driving carefully and well. Driving excellent! That was a plus for me. Our group of 22 got acquainted over the trip. Great site to see sunrise at 10,000 feet! It was cold but I wore layers with warm polar fleece liner under my jacket, polar fleece hat and warm gloves and I was comfortable. I felt badly for those who came wrapped in blankets. Excellent staff at the National Park. Nan was especially helpful and informative. As we were driven down the hill, we could see the sites (and the curves) we'd missed due to darkness on the way up. The tour ended with a nice breakfast at a Golf Club. Memorable excursion! Thank you Ron and my fellow participants!

Steve was an excellent tour leader. We enjoyed our trip through the processing plant and fields immensely! We were surprised that we got to taste pineapple on the tour. Delicious! The next day it rained so we were lucky to book the day we did!

Excellent luau. The food was delicious and the show was very spectacular. The performers all seemed to love what they were doing. Loved the historical storytelling - very interesting! The seating was great and the venue, near the ocean was really a bonus since we were able to see some whales.
I would definitely recommend this luau and would attend it again on our next trip.

This was my third participation in two consecutive years. I joined last March and, due to bad weather, I only paid for the lunch box to try again, and this time is my third.

Last time, the sunset was very beautiful, but there were few stars because it was close to a full moon. This time, although I couldn't see the sunset due to bad weather, the starry sky was magnificent near the new moon! I was moved by how many stars there are.

While sitting outside, Mr. Yamauchi explains the stars and shares various stories, but he tends to speak quickly during the star explanations, which is quite disappointing for participants who are not familiar with stars. Since the stars are so beautifully visible, I think it would be a better experience if we could listen to the star stories more slowly and remember them to take home.

二年連続、三度目の参加でした。
昨年の３月に参加し、悪天候のため滞在中にお弁当代のみで再挑戦、そして今回が三度目。
前回はサンセットがとても美しく見えましたが満月近くで星の数が少なく、今回は悪天候でサンセットは見られなかったものの、新月近くで満天の星空！
星ってこんなにあるんだなぁ…と感動しました。

屋外でイスに座って山内さんが星の説明や色々なお話しを聞かせてくれますが、星の説明の時に早口になってしまうのは星に詳しくない参加者にはとても残念です。
せっかく綺麗に星が見えているので、星のお話をもっとゆっくり聞いて覚えて帰れたら、よりよい体験になると思います。
