The best helicopter ride so far. It was amazing and awesome, I loved the way the music matched the scenery, and the pilot was very knowledgeable about the island. The island is beautiful, and so was the experience, way better then the doors off.

We had a group of 4 and had an excellent afternoon. Our guide was very knowledgeable and warm and friendly. The van was comfy and had big windows for viewing scenery along the drive. The starts were amazing as was the sunset.

The highlight of our trip. The ride over, while lengthy due to the fires in Lahaina, was great. The captain was funny, his name was Turtle. We saw dolphins and the snorkeling on Lanai was awesome. The trip was worth the cost, without even taking in to consideration the great lunch we were served. That chicken is amazing. You also get to visit a pretty exclusive beach, it’s shared with the Four Seasons Lanai, that is nice because your group is almost all the only people out there. Next trip we will definitely do this, or a trip to Molokini Crater. Either way, we will definitely use Trilogy again. They are fantastic.

The "entertainment" on the way up the river was great. The fern grotto is absolutely beautiful; although a little disappointing that you can't go inside the cave these days, its still a worthwhile trip. Commentary on the way back was very informative and gave everyone some insight into Hawaiian culture.
Acoustics could have been better as it was hard to hear some of what was being said.

ガイドさん運転の車で徐々に山頂を目指し、日没前に到着して待つことしばし、あたり一面雲海に囲まれる壮観な光景で暮れいく太陽を感慨深く眺めることができました。オレンジ、黄色、グリーンと様々に変化する輝きの陽射しを浴びながら
大自然を感じました。その後は急速にあたりは真っ暗に、満天の星空に浸ることができました。マウイ一番のエンタメだと思います。

Amazing sunset & night sky! We loved learning about stars. This tour is 100% worth it.
A special thanks to our tour guide Yoshi:
- He picked us up at our hotel right on time, we didn’t have to wait a minute!
- He bought us donuts for the ride and told us great stories about Maui along the way.
- The tour was well prepared: we had chairs and blankets to watch the sunset, and binoculars and telescope tonwatch the stars
- He was toughtful and offered us hot tea and coffee when he saw us shivering from cold (much needed!)
Thanks again!

This was an amazing tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable. Gorgeous views and so many stars. We even got to see Saturn and the Milky Way! Both our kids 11 &15 fully enjoyed it. One said it was their favorite activity on our trip. We will definitely be doing it again on our next trip to Maui. It’s does get cold at the top, so make sure you bring layers, hat and gloves!

9月に体験させていただきました。
車内は他のお客様はおられず私たちだけで貸切の状態での参加となりました。
クリスピードーナツやオススメフードを確保して、途中休憩を挟みながら、車で3000メートル超えの山頂へ。
防寒対策として防寒着や毛布を貸してくれ、椅子に座って暖かい飲み物をいただきながらの夕日鑑賞でしたが、ヤマピーさんとのお話しに夢中になってしまい、危うく夕日を逃すところでした(笑)
日没後は反対側に移動し、赤色から青色のグラデーションの空の中、幻想的な月を見れました。
周りが暗くなり、空を見上げながらの星座や星の説明、望遠鏡でのさまざまな天体観測が出来、非日常な体験が出来ました。
ヤマピーさんのハレアカラ登頂は3000回を超えているとのこと。安心してお任せできます。
高山病や車酔いを心配していましたが、体調を崩すことなく、そしてお話がとても興味深く、私達の話も熱心に聞いてくれて、終始楽しいツアーとなりました。
またマウイ島に行く際はお世話になります。
ありがとうございました。

The weather was beautiful and our guide on the.boat was fun. The ladies who sang and did the hula were a nice touch. I learned things about the hula that I did not know. They made the excursion memorable. The fern grotto was pretty it it looks like it needs to recover a lot of its growth. Glad we went, though. An interesting adventure.

The captain and crew were outstanding and made the trip very enjoyable. The food portions were on the small side. While the tour was advertised as open bar, it was very limited. It also only opened during the last two hours of the trip. I found that to be misleading.
I would definitely shop around a little more the next time.

5年前にクルーズでナパリコーストを見ましたが
主人のたっての希望でヘリコプターツアーに参加しました
乗る前の安全ビデオも日本語字幕で理解できました
不安な点が2つ、乗り物酔いと早口英語での解説、でしたが全く
問題無し
一応酔い止めは飲みましたが、とてもスムーズで揺れもなく快適、なにより
あまりに素晴らしい景色で酔う暇無いです
そしてさらに良かったのがパイロットの方が流暢な日本語でお話しして下さいました、日本人は私達だけて他は本土からの方々でしたが
通訳していだたき参加している皆んなフレンドリーな感じに包まれました。
お値段だけの価値はある素晴らしいツアーでした

Overall the tour was great. Yoshi was very friendly and had everything needed for those unprepared, which was not us. Hot tea or coffee, blankets, heavy jackets, etc. The tour of the top, views of the craters and everything was great. He stopped on the way up so folks could buy food for dinner. We went from the top down to his secret spot for dinner, arriving about 40 minutes before sunset. Set up the cameras and relaxed while watching a spectacular sunset. Clouds moved in though and it got cold(er) and wet, so he took us down the hill I. Search of clear skies. It rained and we'd given up hope of stargazing when we came out of the clouds and he found a great viewing spot. We spent over an hour looking at various stellar things, as well as Saturn and the moon- the only solar system bodies in view. Overall we had a fun time. Would do again!

ちょっと早めの9時過ぎにチェックインした際にパーキングのゲートが閉まっていたので少し戸惑いましたが、受付後はスムーズにヘルメット、ブーツ、上着のレンタルを受けて、ガイドさんに馬を選んでもらって乗り込むところまではすぐでした。
ランチの広大な敷地をガイドに沿って馬と共に進むのはとても爽快でした。
私の馬は立髪がおしゃれにシマシマになったOliver、妻は栗毛のVodka、どちらもいい馬でした
途中ガイドのジェシカが写真を撮ってくれたりして
時間は予定より少し超過して11時過ぎに帰着となりました。

I've been fortunate to attend somewhere between 10 and 12 different Lu'aus, mostly in O'ahu, Kaua'i, Maui, and Hawai'i. Our experience at Smith's was superior for the following reasons:
1. Atmosphere and ambience: the Garden is absolutely beautiful, and few lu'aus have an ambience like this. Another good one for this to be fair is the Polynesian Cultural Center Lu'au.
2. Authenticity: the Polynesian & Fire Show, and other traditions (like pulling the pig from the earth) encompassed in the lu'au, were top-notch and very well-executed.
3. The Food & Drinks: a greater variety, quantity, and quality of food & drinks were offered here versus any other lu'au I've attended. There were two times as many food choices, and thanks to the buffet style, you can feast on them all.
4. The Staff: the staff here is so genuinely kind. My fiancee and I biked a few miles over to this lu'au and we had to bike back in the dark. Our hostess ran to her car and gave us some headlamps! It was so kind of her. We're really grateful for the Smith Family team.
Thank you all very much. I highly, highly, highly recommend.

This luau is informing and very exciting! They talk a lot about the past of Kauai and ancestral history. Price point at only $25 (without dinner) is absolutely great, especially for families with little ones. Handicap seating is available. Main seating area is at a slant so if you want to sit towards the bottom (closer) come early. My 1 year old even loved it and was clapping. Attire is Hawaiian style and it’s wonderful to see all the cool outfits. Bathrooms are close by and water is provided. I felt it ran a bit short this time compared to last year but it was still super amazing and would 100% go again.

Staff was terrific at all levels; dock staff, wait staff, bar tenders, historian, musician, & Captain. Everyone was upbeat, personable, courteous, professional, and entertaining.
Food was excellent and the drinks were generous. The captain was very personable and entertaining. Mother-nature provided us with a pod of pilot whales to observe, while keeping a safe distance. Historian was fabulous, giving everyone a much better appreciation and respect for the Hawaiian culture. The music got everyone rocking and rolling with the motion of the boat. A great selection of songs that had the passengers engaged in song.
Can't say much more. We loved it, would do it again, and would highly recommend it to everyone. It was a 3 hour tour that was well worth it.

I was expecting to "be at one with nature" but there were so many people. We took a short walk up the path, which was beautiful but no time to stop & appreciate it or take photos. Then, when reaching to grotto, it was so crowded, there are other people in all the photos. You don't actually go into the fern grotto, you see it from a short distance. We were told we could take photos on the way down, but the path is narrow and there's the huge line of people behind you so you can't stop. The river ride was nice, but the entertainment took away from the peacefulness of the ride.

Beautiful river excursion; would have loved more time and not so rushed at the Grotto. One song seemed lame. Wanted time to take pictures of foliage on way down. Definitely would not recommend for wheelchair guests. It was steep and pavement unfriendly to wheelchair wheels and very steep and slippery incline uphill.
Entertainment on way back was very fun and good.
