It was fine. I did this for my sister and her boyfriend when they came with us because it was their first time in Hawaii. I would have preferred for the greeter to be a Hawaian but she was not.

Thanks so much for showing us so many of the nicest parts of Maui. Charles, our tour guide, showed us around the island, while filling us in on the political and natural history of the area. It seemed to us that this was a wonderful way for first time visitors like us to get an overview of Maui.
Things we especially liked about this tour: being picked up at our hotel promptly at 7am, as advertised; the view from the top of Haleakala; the opportunity to see rare plants and birds on the mountain, such as silversword plants in bloom, and the unique Hawaiian Geese (Nene); our guide's amazing knowledge of the places we saw and their history; the wonderful lunch at Casanova's in Makawao; the beautiful scenery around the park at the Io Needle.
The opportunity to take this tour with a knowledgable guide and driver was wonderful. It permitted us to concentrate on the scenery, rather than worrying about driving on unfamiliar roads and trying to read a map and sightsee at the same t

最初は家族で山からサンセットを見られるということで申込みましたが、参加してみてびっくり!
数十年に一度しか開花しない銀剣草の花を見られたり、本格的な望遠鏡での天体観測ができたり(流れ星も見えました!)、そしてなにより山内さんの豊富な天文知識による解説が感動的でした。
唯一、サンセットが雲に隠れて見えなかったのが心残りですが、すごく充実した時間を過ごせました。
ハワイは星のメッカと言われているらしく、たくさんの星が観測できるようです。これまで、ハワイにはマリンスポーツのイメージしかなかった私には、新たな発見でした。
後でマウイ在住の日本人数人に聞いたところ、山内さんの天体観測は結構有名みたいです。

It was great, our guide was just great, we had so much fun with him, we went on monday 9/8, sorry i can't remember his name, but he made the trip for us. We really enjoyed all of it. This was our first time and I am so glad we did this. It is a long day and it was well worth the 11 hours.

This was our first time and we really had a good time, the last show was great, the only thing we were not real fond of was the luau dinner, very simple and I wanted to really see how the pig was cooked in the sand. Dinner was not very good. The people there were very very nice to work with. Our driver Chris was also very nice and gave us a lot of information while on the drive.

I was VERY impressed with our tour to the Polynesian Cultural Center. From the pick up in Waikiki, lunch, tour of the 5 island groups, dinner, the evening show and the return to Waikiki, all was done perfectly. This tour is definitely a MUST to learn more about the Polynesian Culture!!!

I took the biking tour through North Shore. Justin was a very good guide and showed us the ins and outs of the North Shore community. Justin showed me the best routes to take with my mountain bike. The tour was right on time and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour as it is a great value. It was a nice touch that water and snacks were provided on board.

Lovely tour with Aunty behind the wheel. The day passed quickly with a reasonable lunch (we bought our own) at Joe's on the golf course.
Aunty's humor and knowledge made the day memorable. Thoroughly enjoyed the stops at the Fern Grotto and Wiamea canyon.

Being a first time visitor to the state of Hawaii this was a great experience for myself and a friend. The greeters were right there as we came off the airplane with our name and a big smile!!! They were also so very helpful to show us the way to transportation. I feel they went beyond the nescessary greet. Would deffinatly recomend this greeting to all who go but especialy to first time visitors.

The tour guide was wonderful. The day flew by and didn't even seem like it was 11 hours long. It would be perfect to do right when you get to the island, so you can see all of the different places you can go. The bus was nicely air conditioned which was wonderful.

It was my first time to Oahu and we did not rent a car, which made this Tour very easy for us. We were picked up and returned in front of our hotel. Our driver "Cousin Greg" was a pleasure to be with, his humor and knowledge of the island was a big hit with our group. Definitely pay the $5 to rent the Audio Tour when you are at the Arizona Memorial. Mighty MO was awsome and Punch Bowl was beautiful. The 'Iolani Palace was closed but the outside was nice to see. The bus was prompt, clean and very comfortable. I would recommend this tour to everyone visting the island of Oahu for the first time. Aloha!

今回お友達の紹介でこのツアーに参加しました。
2人での初めてのハワイ旅行!
事前にネットで予約していたのでマウイ島に着いてからは電話での確認のみで簡単でした。
当日はFamilyと一緒に行きました。クリスピークリームドーナツは東京ではまだまだ並ばないと食べれないのに…なんとすぐに食べられました!
その後は山内さんの好きなハワイにしかないアイスクリームをご馳走していただきました☆ちょーおいしかったぁ~
お腹もいっぱいになって、いよいよ登山開始!(車でね)
標高が高くなるにつれて景色はすごく綺麗で…でもだんだん空気が薄くなり、寒さがやってきました。
でも、ダウンを貸していただいたので問題なしでした。でも…寒がりなまりりんはホッカイロ持参したのは正解でした!!たかりんにはホッカイロは必要なかったみたい。。。
途中で20年に一度しかみることのできないお花をみちゃいました!!!すごいなぁ~
いよいよ☆サンセットです!!!素敵&感動の瞬間☆
まじで綺麗で…日本では見ることのできない素晴しい感動でした!!!絶対また行きたいし、見たい!!!みんなにも是非行ってほしいです。いっぱい写真も撮っちゃいました。
寒さなんて忘れちゃうくらいすごいんだよ!
満足してその後はシェフ山内特製幕の内弁当の登場!!!
これがまたちょーおいしかったぁ~
☆最後は星空観測☆
今までみたこともない星空にみんなで「すご~い」
天の川とか星座とか北斗七星とか…とにかく満点の星空に感動の連発でした☆☆☆
望遠鏡でみた三日月もクレーターがいっぱいだったよ~
山内さんのお話にも感動しちゃいました!
自分の中で気持ちが大きくなった気がします(いい意味でね)
このツアーに参加して本当によったです。たくさんの出会いや感動をみんなで&大切な人と感じられたことがすごく幸せでした。またマウイ島に行ったら絶対に山内さんに会いにこのツアーに参加します!
たかりん&まりんさんその後お元気ですか?
自分が食いしん坊万歳派なので、最新の美味しいものは全てご紹介しますね。
銀剣草という高山植物はほぼ20年に一度しか咲かない珍しい花なのです。
現在2100メートルのハレアカラ公園事務所前に二つ咲いています。
星空は3000メートルでの大型望遠鏡観測なので木星のラインもはっきり観測できます。
是非またマウイに来たらサンセット☆星ツァーに参加してくださいね。
皆さんとの再会が最高の楽しみです!

The whole evening was very imformative. From finding out that the very program itself helps educates our young to learning about other places around the world. I have no doubt that the program has and will continue to offer a very unique learning experience for those that are at BYU and to those that attend the Polynesian Cultural Center for entertainment. All the work that was put into the shows to make them both unique and entertaining comes out in every aspect of the center itself. As we will be living here for at least the next 3 years, when we have guests it will be one of the features of Oahu that I recommend.

She was extremely sweet and interested in what we had planned for our vacation. she was also very helpful in taking us to baggage claim and helping us find our shuttle to our hotel,that was not a requirement, she went over and above our expectations! Thank you for starting our vacation off with that great aloha spirit, we heard so much about, before arriving.
