An awesome experience and a great value. I went with my 10 year old son and we were both able to stand on the board and stay up (for a little while, at least)in our first 2 hour lesson. Our instructor, John, took individual time with each of the students in our group(there were 5 overall)and made sure to go over the basics before we even hit the water. A wonderful, fun, and safe experience - I highly recommend this school. They created 2 new lifelong surfers!

The ferry to Lanai was great. The trip over in the morning was relatively smooth. Coming home, however, at 4:30 p.m., was a wild ride! Very choppy, huge swells, but actually a lot of fun! That is if you weren't sitting on the side of the boat that got drenched with each swell...A group of people sitting next to us said that you could have charged extra for the roller coaster ride! haha As we pulled into the harbor at Lahaina we were blessed with a gorgeous double rainbow!

Everything to do with our parasailing experience was wonderful! From the time we arrived, the staff was friendly, helpful, and willing to answer any question or fear we may have had. This website says that there is a 350 lb weight limit for tandom rides, but its actually much higher than that so my husband and I got to ride together which made the experience that much more enjoyable. It truely was like being a bird just floating in the air, and the views are amazing! Highly reccomended to anyone who is visiting the islands!

Good food, unlimited drinks, great entertainment (variety of dances both males and females), great host and service. The only complaint I have is that the seating was horrible. The seats were literally right up against each other so you don't have much arm or leg room. It was hard to get in and out of your seat because they were so close together. Overall wonderful experience! They even ask you if you want shaded or sun seating.

This was the best snorkeling tour I have ever been on. The 2 guys that conducted it were awesome and everyone had a great time! I definitely recommend Aloah Blue Charters for your snorkeling tours!

I would not recommend driving it yourself, too much to see and the road is unbeliveable - one lane, hairpin corners, all usually on the side of a cliff!
Our driver was fairly new and forgot or didn't know alot of things we saw along the way.

The parasailing was wonderful. I had done it before and love it. My friend had never done it and was a little hesitant but I think she liked it somewhat. Going together is definitely the way to go so you have somebody to talk to you while you're up there. I would definitely do it again

This was our first time trying Snuba and I don't know where to begin. Hawaii activities was great about following up with us to remind us of our event. The crew for our event was exceptional!!! We had snorkeled the day before with another charter that was good but hands down the crew on this boat was the best. As we boarded the boat they took our pictures and they had a separate film guy that took footage while we were on the boat and under the water in both places we dived. If you're not sure about scuba diving then try snuba first. It allows you the freedom of being under the water without wearing tanks. Good indicator if you're going to like scuba.

My wife and I enjoyed the Hana picnic very much. Our tour guide's name was Buzz, and he had a wealth of knowledge about Maui and Hawaiian history. He also knew the curves in the road to Hana very well, seemingly by heart, which enabled my wife and I to enjoy the scenery without having to deal with the stress of driving. He also stopped at several points of interest, including waterfalls, a flower garden in the rain forest, and two black sand beaches. Again, for us, the day was excellent and we will probably go again with my wife's parents, who can also appreciate history and culture in addition to the sightseeing.
For the purposes of this review, I will say that we spent a great deal of time listening to Buzz talk about the islands because the weather prevented us from swimming at certain points. Again, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this part because we like to learn about knew things and places, but one of our fellow riders got bored at times, and she made sure everyone on

This was our family's first trip to Maui and we wanted it to be special for our two teenage boys. The day we were supposed to have the lessons turned out not to have the best surfing conditions, so they called us to reschedule. We really appreciated them wanting us to have a good experience with some success. As parents, we were very pleased with the care and attention for safety and detail. The class size was pretty small (only 5 or 6) so there was plenty of opportunity for individualized questions. They explained everything thoroughly and made sure the boys understood what they were doing. They both caught several waves and it completely made the trip for them. We came back a few days later to rent gear for them to surf one more time... they remembered all of the instruction and had a blast! Wonderfully nice people - there is also a photographer that can capture the moment you ride your first wave - memories worth paying the few extra bucks for!

The service was wonderful. Anyone booking should know before hand that the stairs going above/beow decks is difficult for anyone with walking difficulties (with a cane). Food was very well prepared.
Comments from the entertainer regarding what we are passing as we cruise along the coast would be beneficial. But, it was very good music.

We read some comments about this luau being crowded, so we were expecting really small venue. I think the venue was good size. I guess if you are used to taking up so much space for yourself, you feel very tight, but we were very comfortable. The dancers were awesome, and foods were well prepared. We stayed in Kaanapali, so it was walking distance from our hotel. It's worth it. I'd recommend it to my friends.

I was not happy about the start and end time of the experience. The entire event was over by 8pm, and it was barely dark. The food and the drinks were as expected... good. The performers were very good, but the show lacked the level of audience involvement that I've seen at other events.

We sailed on the Maui Magic and the crew were really wonderful. Our daughter was a bit hesitant to try snorkling and one of our crew said just the right thing to encourage her to put her face in the water and then we had trouble getting her to come out of the water.
Later, the crew put up a slide for us to use on the last snorkle stop.
We were also incredibly fortunate to see countless hump back whales on our trip out and back, some very close to our boat. The crew were very happy to stop and let us watch them for a good deal of time. In another stroke of luck, a bottle nosed dolphin swam back and forth around the bow of our boat.
This trip was one of the highlights of our vacation and I would encourage anyone not to hesitate to book this whale watch/snorkling trip!

Me and a couple of my friends took their lesson. Their instructor was very helpful and patient for us, 1st timers. We took some beach lesson before going into the water, and where they took us had perfect small & consistent waves, We each caught two or three waves! We are now hooked. We are coming back to Maui next year for sure. Thanks!
