Very nice and prompt

Drivers were on time both when I arrived in HNL and at the hotel. Very friendly and nice to chat with along the short drive up to/from Waikiki. Will use them again when I visit next time.

Absolutely stunning!!
Posted on: 2015/08/23
Was picked up from Kihei hotel at 2:30am on Aug. 18. It is quite early but was worth the lack of sleep and every penny. Sunrise was stunning!! They do a little chant before the sun shows up, which sounds really cool. After the sunrise, you get to tour around the mountain to take pictures of silverswords and perhaps the Big Island you can see in a clear day.
As for how cold it is up there, I am pretty warm blooded, so I thought it wouldn't be much of a big deal. Oh boy was I wrong! The temperature itself isn't too low, but keep in mind that up in 10,000 ft. the wind slashes at you in all directions and that you need to keep standing there for at least an hour if you want a good spot for beautiful pics. I even saw people wrapped up in thick blankets (not the thin ones but the fluffy ones for bed) and padded outerwear. So do prepared! :)
Oh and the breakfast afterwards was okay. For the last stop the guide takes you to a local market so that you could shop for souvenirs.

Maui Kahului Airport Shuttle (OGG) by Roberts Hawaii [Open Now] / [Departure] Hotel to Airport
Airport to Hotel was great, Hotel to Airport not so much
Posted on: 2015/08/23
Hotel to Airport:
Got a confirmation email, called to check again the time and location on the day prior to pick up to the airport.
Nevertheless there was a 30 min. delay because the driver "forgot" to pick me up. Had to call 3 times to get things straight. Was on hold first time and got hung upon, second time also got hung upon while on hold. For the third time I got reconfirmed that the driver will promptly pick me up in a few min. which he actually did so I added a star.
Airport to Hotel:
Now this was a nice experience.
Flight got delayed but I think they check flight schedule on a real time basis.
Welcomed on arrival with a shell lei around the neck, there is a desk when you exit the baggage claim area, so it is really hard to miss. Nice van with cool air conditioning right to your door. Highly recommended!
All in all, don't rely too much on the hotel pickup time and arrange it early so that you have some extra time and don't miss the flight even if things get messed up.
