Your entire staff was the absolute epitome of friendly and professional in every way (and I say that as the owner of an aviation company and a very discriminating customer). The entire experience was unforgettable from beginning to end. Rest assured, we will be recommending Air Maui to everyone we know who's thinking of a Hawaii vacation!

Our kids loved this ocean center, after a few days of water activities (snorkeling and surf lessons), it was great seeing them learn about some of the ocean habitats that make Maui such a special place to visit. Very informative and such a fun day.

The road to hana was something that I wanted to experience while on Maui. I'm glad that someone else was driving, because that road in narrow and curves constantly. The driver did a great job maneuvering around the road, all while giving us informative information about what we were seeing. All along the road you can see beautiful lush vegetation. The helicopter tour was a great way to get a brids-eye-view of hana. Hana is even more beautiful when you see it from a helicopter. You can really get a feel for how dramatic the scenery in Hana is.

Stand up paddling was a very unique experience. The instructors were great and really made it easy to learn how to stand up paddle. We are from the midwest, so we wanted to try a unique ocean activity, since it would be something that we would not be able to try back home. I wish we had easier access to the ocean, so we could use our newly acquired paddling skills.

We went on the 4 mile hike and it was a very special experience. You really feel like you are hiking on another planet. The redish rock scenery looks like a movie about Mars could've been filmed here. The views were simply amazing! The hike itself was not too strenuous, but you need to remember that their will be less oxygen up there, so don't be surprised if a 4 mile hike makes you winded.

I went on the two-tank dive with gear. This was a really convenient way for me to dive while visiting Hawaii. Maui has some spectacular dive sites, and Mike Severns Diving takes you to some really great spots. I'm really glad that we dove into Molokini Crater. The crater has such an incredible amount of marine life. While diving I saw many different beautiful tropical fish, an octopus, an eel, a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, and stunningly beautiful coral reef.

Setting sail into a Hawaiian sunset is like something out of a movie. For couples in Hawaii, this is an absolute must do cruise. The colors in the sunset were so beautiful. I have never witnessed shades of orange, pink, and red in a sunset like I did that evening. What a truly unforgettable evening.

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've never surfed, but the instructors at Action Sports Maui really take the time to teach you the basics. They know how important it is for you to feel safe before trying to windsurf out on the ocean. I never felt like I was going to blow away into the blue abyss. I've been sailing a few times, and windsurfing is a similar feeling, but with more of an adrenaline rush.

I surfed from when I was 7 until I was about 14. When I visited Maui I decided to try to get back onto the board. I took the intermediate surf lesson. The instructors at Action Sports Maui did a very good job of getting me back into the swing of surfing. It was a great experience and I hope that I will be able to surf again sometime soon.

I'm an athletic guy in his 20's. I took the 3-day course, and it was one of the best parts of my vacation. By the 2nd day I was riding the wind and ocean, and it is quite an experience. This is like kite flying for adults. If you want an adrenaline rush I would recommend trying kite surfing.

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.

Overall this could have been a much better experience if the activity was either longer or less expensive. Bascially we were out for under 2 hours. I did not feel that I got my money's worth. We paddled out to the channel then back in to snorkle and then came in. Sure the sights were great and our guide was wonderful, but for the price, this should have been 4 hour excursion. The location was really out of the way, but the area was excellant. We saw whales, turtles and lots of fish.

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。

According to the Maui Tourism Board's website, the tour was estimated to take about 4 hours, which made my wife and daughter hesitant due to concerns about seasickness. However, since the tour guides mentioned it would only take 2 hours, we decided to join the Lahaina cruise. In the end, I think 2 hours was just right. Thanks to the season at the end of March, we spotted whales about 15 minutes after departure and were able to see around 20 whales in total, including a mother and calf that we observed closely for about 30 minutes. (Most were just visible in the distance, but I believe the situation wouldn't change much even if the duration were longer.)
I actually intended to bring binoculars but forgot them. Interestingly, neither the crew nor any participants had them either. I thought that since visibility would be limited while searching, there might not be many opportunities to use them.
The boat we were on was a stable catamaran, and while it felt stable when moving, when the engine was turned off to observe the whales, the small width of the boat made it susceptible to rolling waves, which could cause side-to-side motion. If you're prone to seasickness, it might be wise to take some medication beforehand (my wife said she was glad she did).
Additionally, parking in Lahaina can be challenging, so if you're participating by rental car, I recommend arriving early in the morning or a bit ahead of time (there were plenty of parking spots if you moved a little away from the bay).
In summary, I’m glad we participated! It was fun! I hope this helps.
マウイ観光局のHPをみると4H程度となっていたため、船酔いを気にする妻と娘はしぶっていたが、観光ガイドなどでは2Hのツアーとなっていたこともあり、ラハイナクルーズに参加することにした。結果、2Hで十分だったと思う。3月末のシーズンのおかげか、出航して15分程度でクジラを確認することが出来、ひと組の親子クジラをじっくり見た30分程度含めて都合20匹くらいは確認出来た。(ほとんどが遠くの海上にいるのが確認できる程度だが、時間が長くても、たいして状況は変わらないと思う)
実は、双眼鏡を持っていこうと思いながら忘れてしまったのだが、クルーを始め、参加者も誰も持っていなかった。探す際に視界が狭くなるのは邪魔なので、あまり活躍するタイミングはないかもしれないと思った。
また、乗った船は、揺れに強い双胴船だったが、確かに、
自走しているときは安定感強いが、クジラを観察するために、エンジンを切っている際には、横幅小さい船だと上下になる波の揺れが、左右の揺れになるので、左右の揺れに弱い人は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいたほうがよいかもしれない。(妻は飲んで良かったと言っていた)
あと、ラハイナは駐車スペースに難があるので、レンタカーで参加される方は早朝or早めの到着(湾からちょっと離れれば止める場所はいくらでもあった)を心がけるとよいと思います。
最後に、ひとことで言うと、参加して良かった!楽しかった!です。
ご参考まで。

We had fun and enjoyed learning to surf, however we were taken to a very shallow part of the ocean where the floor was covered with sharp rocks. My husband and I were both injured and ended up leaving 50 minutes early from our lesson. The wind was pretty bad that day which obviously is uncontrollable, but there very few waves and lots of other surf lesson students so there was very little opportunity to attempt what we had learned. I do not feel the value of the lesson was enough to warrant how much we paid. But, again, we did have a good time and perhaps on a less windy and cold day it wouldn't have been so bad.

The sunset dinner cruise was a very pleasant experience. The food was excellent and the weather was perfect. We saw a whale and her calf nearby, which was a great experience, and the sunset and bright stars in the clear night sky were unmatched. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to other couples.

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.
