This was a great tour, but a lot of driving. Our driver, Juan ( might be misspelled) is a native hawaiian and shared a lot of fact and fable. He played a video about how Jurasic Park was made, and as we drove around you can see where parts of the movie were filmed. We had plenty of time at each stop. I thought the fern grotto was a bit lame. The ferns were destroyed in a hurricane years ago, so the ones that were there were small. It wasnt what I expected. And there were mosquitos at the grotto. It would be nice if the driver had bug spray or something. We came back with a lot of bites. The boat ride was frustrating. It is a wide boat, with a low roof. The guide kept talking about the mountains or things on top of the hills, and most of us couldnt see what he was referring to because of the low roof. On one hand, seeing the island through a tour is a great way to learn a lot about the island. On the other hand, renting a car allows you to stop where you want to (little s

There is a lot of traveling back and forth then actual viewing spots, and because of that there was not enough time at Waimea Canyon which is the main spot of the trip. People taking half day tour should not be mixed with fullday tour, there was a lot of time lost in going back and forth droping those people, and the return flight to oahu should be planned accordingly we had to wait 2 hrs at the airport.

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!!!

Me and my daughter recently did the Volcano Tour and we were lucky enough to have a wonderful, knowledgable Tour Guide by the name of Jane. I hope you relay to her once again how much we enjoyed the Tour. I have traveled 18 different countries and been on many tours but I enjoyed the casual way that she conducts her tour. She tells you what you need to know - answers all questions. She keeps you entertained full time and is very careful about what her people do and where they are. She stays with her visitors. I truthfully, enjoyed her tour better than any I have ever been on. She really is an asset to your company and good at what she does. I am really glad we took the tour as we have been to Hawaii 7 times and this is on the top of the list of what we have experienced. All other tours were good but this one was really good. Thank you and Thank Jane for such a wonderful - educational amount of entertainment you provided. Thanks again.......Audra E. LeGasse

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 is a fairly biased view to the tour since the airport was absolutely terrible on both directions (NOT the tour's fault).
The guide was ok, unanimated and didn't realise he told us the same stories multiple times - I found this funny but other people were getting really annoyed about it. If you like the history of sugar cane you'll get plenty of it!
The Canyon was AMAZING! As was Fern Grotto. Everything I thought was only ok in terms of interest sake.

Great day trip! I went on this trip with my husband for our anniversary. Our bus driver Dennis was very knowledgeable and friendly! Lots of different things to see and do from rain forest hikes, lava fields, black sand beaches, and an active volcano! Great for anyone who doesn't have a chance to stay on the big island.

サンセットのツアーに参加しました。すべて英語です。まったく英語が分からない方にはつらいかもしれません。個人的には日本人だけのツアーが嫌いなので面白かったです。また、値段もかなりするツアーですので、学生と見られるような若い人はほとんどいません(マウイ自体高級リゾートなのであまりそのような若い人はいませんでしたが)。
ご飯やサービスは大変丁寧でコストパフォーマンスはかなりあると思います。シナモンロール、ブリトー、フルーツが船上で提供され、そしてBBQの夕食、帰りの船ではアルコール&アイスのデザートが提供されます。もちろん飲み物もです。かなりいたれりつくせりだと思います。
スタッフも色々質問に答えてくれます。島や船の説明も面白かったです。ただ、スノーケル初心者でしたら、サンセットのツアーはちょっと大変かもしれません。マウイ自体午後は風が強いのでサンセットのツアーよりも朝のツアーをお勧めします。マウイでのスノーケルは朝がベストのようです。なので、このツアーでは魚はほとんど見れませんでした。。。また、島に降りると、ドライブでの島散策やビーチでのスノーケル島各自チョイスがありますので、自由にできるのがよかったです。
船もまったく酔いません。他のツアー会社の人もトリロジーのツアーが一番酔わないし、サービスもよいといっておりました。

My husband, daughter, son-in-law, and myself went on this trip, and we had a great day. We flew over from Oahu, as we wanted to see another island, and "volcanoes" was on our bucket lists. The staff was friendly, professional, and always looking out for us. Dennis was our tour guide, and he was full of knowledge, and we especially enjoyed his coaching us on our usage of the Hawaiian language. The trip consists of a visit to Rainbow Falls, a waterfall park on the island(okay, but not awe inspiring), a stop at Mauna Loa nut factory (yum), a visit to a volcano field and a black sand beach(breathtaking), a stop at a orchid farm(they smelled divine), and finally the Volcano National Park. Don't go on this tour if you expect to see lava...all you will see is steam from vents in the park, and gasses far off in the distance. We knew this ahead of time and were not disappointed. We had a late flight, so Dennis dropped us off for a bit at a local shopping center, and then came back and to

Captain Rob was very informative with great stories. His knowledge of the island, flora & volcano is amazing. He had a lot of patience with the stragglers.
Only recommendation for improvement would be to advise people not to buy any thing that is spreadable in addition to the liquids.

I could not have imagined how beautiful Maui was going to be! The entire day felt magical...like I had stepped into a completely different world somehow. My boyfriend felt the same way. The guide was really up on all the facts that we would want to know as tourists not being from there...and she made it a fun day, not boring or overly talkative like some tours we have been on either.
We are already decided that we WILL be coming back to Maui on our honeymoon, and driving the road to Hana as husband and wife...we loved it THAT much! Thanks for a great day.

Kind of expected this tour to be pretty boring, I have to admit. But I have family in the military so I figured I should pay my respects and go see what this place is all about.
I was pleasantly surprised. The exhibits were informative without being bland, and getting to actually go on a Navy launch, and walk around on an actual ship was pretty cool. The best part for me I think was the film they showed about the attack itself, with real footage and everything...that really made it real to me.
Worth a visit at least once in your life, and not even boring ;)

Nice and enjoyable day on the Big Island. We got to see quite a few different and beautiful places. The pick-up at the hotel in the morning was a little later than planned and there was some free time at the end of the day waiting for the plane back, but otherwise it was pretty well organized. Volcanoes national park is beautiful and probably unlike anything you've seen before. More time could be spent there and maybe less or skip the Macadamia nut factory, but we got to see the main spots of the park. Guide/driver was fun. Recommend this especially to first timers who don't have the chance to stay on the Big Island.

We really enjoyed our trip and tour of Oahu from the meeting at the airport until our drop off at the airport. Our driver was Leo C. and he did a great job. He made sure we knew exactly where we were going and he was very informative. About the only suggestion I would make is to try to, somehow, give a little more time at each sight at Pearl Harbor. Always seemed a little rushed. Maybe have a earlier flight to Oahu.

Having lived on Oahu for 5 1/2 years in the '50s and never having visited any of the other islands, my sister and I were expecting to see something different and unique. This tour certainly filled the bill and was both those things - and more! Our tour guide - Patty -was very knowledgeable about local and island history and places of interest. She stopped at more than the expected stops and we had plenty of time at each one of them to take pictures, visit any shops that were there and generally get a feel for the place. The fact that we were a small group - just 8 of us on a mini-bus - was fantastic and we turned into a group of 6 after lunch after dropping one couple off back at their Kauai hotel.
It was wonderful to see the unspoilt beauty of Kauai, much as Oahu was when we knew it and before development spoiled it. We were so happy to hear that there has been a limit put on the number of stories hotels there can have, albeit after Marriott built their 8-storey one. At lea

As "first timers" to Oahu, the tour was perfect for us. Our driver/guide "Gar...Garfield" did an excellent job navigating the traffic of Honolulu and providing informative insights to many of the locations we saw on the tour. He had a unique perspective of the island, city and memorials from his background growing up as a native of this beautiful state.
The planning and execution of the tour allowed flexibility and diversity for the tour group.
Thank you for a great day on Oahu.

We are a family of four, children ages 12 and 16. All of us enjoyed this tour. Ed was our tour guide. We have been on many guided tours before, Ed was by far the best guide we ever had. We were really impressed with his knowledge of Honolulu and the amount of information that he shared with us. The sights through the city, and Waikiki were so breathtaking that we are actually ready to plan our 2nd trip to Hawaii. We also enjoyed how Ed really personalized this tour by sharing his own memories and experiences growing up on the island. This is a long day, yet our guide's enthusiasm, and obvious love for Hawaii remained constant from start to finish. He was very charming, funny, and yet very professional. Not one time did he hint at getting a tip, this has never happened to us before! We have nothing negative to say about this tour, nothing. MUST SEE TOUR, REALLY!

We were able to walk on a lava field, see steam vents, walk in the rainforest and through the Thurston Lava tubes. It was a great way to enjoy the Volcanoes National Park. The morning was mostly spent in the bus, with the afternoon being more active.

This excursion was above and beyond what we had hoped for. This trip has it all beauty, adventure, romance. I loved the amazing views of the coastline, the black sand beach and especially the Seven Sacred pools. The driver offered much information along the way. The lunch was delectable ( mahi sanwiches with pineapple slaw and macadamia nut pie) and was one of the best meals we had.
This trip offered so many sights that I had never seen and was one of our favorite excursions. I highly recommend it- and thank to all who provided service in connection to it.

The all-day tour was awesome. No time was wasted - it was fully occupied with interesting things to see. The highlight was having "Captain Rob" as our guide - he has an incredible wealth of knowledge on the geology, flora and fauna, and history of the island/volcanoes. And all comments/narration were presented in a very comfortable and "user-friendly" manner. The other guides may be equally commendable, but for us, we couldn't see how the "Capt" could be improved upon.
The only negative element in the tour was Go! Airlines - 30-35 minutes late leaving Honolulu and 35-40 minutes late returning from Hilo - please don't use them !!
