Took 6 yr old daughter. We both thought it was awesome. Not as scary as I thought it would be for her. Crew was very professional. Picture package was a great deal. Amazing how quiet it was floating over the ocean. As soon as we got back on the boat my daughter asked when we could do it again.

Food was good and wonderful views from the top deck...music to be serenaded by in the back ground was quite nice as well. One thing we noticed is there were some empty tables and they could have spaced the couples out a little more to fill the tables and to give a more private setting for some couples to be a little more private with each other. They could have also sailed up or down the coast a little instead of just coasting around Lihania might made for some nice scenery sightings as well...but overall it's worth it !!!!

Pros: Food was delicious, service was good and the views were great, the music was great!
Cons: The seating was very uncomfortable, the chairs were bolted down and the seating was very close. I have been on a few other cruises, and was much more comfortable on them. Would not do it again.

Wonderful experience. Everything was perfect the day we were on Haleakala. The ride was comfortable and the guide was very knowledgeable. Worth every penny!

We Took This Snorkeling Trip Over The Molokini Crater Because We Wanted Something Different And Less Crowded. Well This Trip Was Right On The Nose. Our Guide Peter Was AWESOME. He Was Very People Friendly And Knowledgable About The Things He Showed Us And Talked About, It Was Nice To Not Be Sitting On An Over Crowded Boat But Instead In A Kayak With A Group Of 7 Other People. 4 Kayaks Total. We Went To 2 Different Snorkel Sites And Were Out On The Water For A Total Of About 3 Hours Or So.We Saw MANY Turtles And Lots Of Different Fish, Peter Even Showed Us An Octopus And Let Us Hold And Touch It. My Husband And I Really Enjoyed Ourselves On This Trip And Would Totally Recommend It To Anyone Thats Wanting Something Less Crowded. Sorry I Dont Have Any Photos, Were Still Here In Hawaii!

This was the best thing we did in Hawaii!! Very comfortable van. Wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgable about all sites and history of the island. Spaced out the ride so that we were never crowded by other tourist. And the picnic luch was just about the best meal we had on the whole trip. I would recommend this tour to everyone!!!

No dolphins!! Which was the main reason we choose this tour. Staff was OK nothing special. Captain didn't give much info about our surroundings. Snorkling was great. Captain did take us to two wonderful spots. Grilled hamburgers on board were Great? But overall trip was just so so.

Everyone should take this tour. Although it is open to the public, the guides provide you with a wealth of knowledge you may not get otherwise. They also know of secluded waterfalls, so you can actually enjoy them. Dylan was an amazing guide and truly expanded our knowledge! It kept our interest the entire time.

The road to hana has been on my "bucket list" to do before I die for as long as I can remember. Me and my wife finally got the funds together and made the trip to Maui, and booked this tour with Hawaiiactivities.
And it sure did not dissapoint! I understand why so many people come here. the trip was comfortable as far as the riding, and the views...oh my GAWD....awesome. This is now checked off my list, but I would definitely do it again, and again regardless! we have already recommended this same tour to MANY of our pals.

This luau is fantastic. We never really know what to do for nightlife now that the kiddos are here with us (no nanny!) But this luau was surprisingly perfect for us all.
My wife and I were amazed at how much hands-on activities were available for our kids to run around and explore/discover. It was so great because we actually felt like they were getting an education in Hawaiian history and culture...but never KNEW because it was so fun and interactive! Kudos for that! The food was amazing...we all ate way too much! And the show was the best part of all. Couldn't have asked for better. Mahalo (which we learned means thanks!)

I have taken surf lessons before on other islands and with other surfing school. Goofy Foot is without a doubt the best instructions I have ever had. I was able to stand up and surf after 2 runs. My boys (10 & 6) caught on even faster. I'd recommend private lessons for couples and group of friends. You'll get more surfing time with private lessons. I would only go back and do intermediate lessons with these guys.

We took our son on this tour and every one of us loved it. He had the best time learning about all the new fish and animals and underwater sights that were new to him, and we loved the idea that he was getting educated without even knowing it...as were we.
My wife is a sweet tooth and she could not stop raving about the cinnamon rolls! And I was partial to the lunch. I don't know if it was because we had been out swimming and snorkeling around, but everything tasted just so good, and I ate enough for four of me it seemed! ha.
It was a great day, The staff was excellent and we felt very looked after the whole time. A+

I haven't ever SCUBA'd and this is as close as one could get with little to no experience snorkeling or diving. The staff was top notch in their customer service. There are some other tours out there for a bit less money but they have so many people on their tour. Aqua Adventures was amazing in that the smaller tour (mine was about 20 some people) allowed for a more personal experience. I would do it again. I had plenty of time at two locations to SNUBA and snorkel. The fresh sandwiches and not too sweet mai thais (sp?) were great. Thanks AA for the awesome time!

This tour was so cool I honestly can't decide which part of the two I liked better, the helicopter flight or the drive along the road to hana. Both were such once in a lifetime experiences, i really don't know how I am gonna top a tour like this on my next vacation anywhere. really enjoyed both of them, and would do them BOTH again in a heartbeat. Maui is so pretty, and being able to see it from the air and on ground really gave a great diverse perspective of just how great this island really is. thanks alot

Parasailing is now my new favorite activity! Wow was this fun! I went by myself, but it is cool to know that I can bring a friend next time and actually go together at the same time. A couple did that and looked like they had fun with that too.
Awesome venue and fun ride. Will definitely book this tour again next year when I come through again!

Flew with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters on our first ever trip to Maui. Overall experience was great, from their office personnel and ground crew to the pilot. What made it particularly well worth it was our pilot – Glenda, she was awesome! The moment we got on board she was so calm and in control. She provided a lot of information and answered our questions in a soothing, calm voice as she maneuvered about the sky and terrain so effortlessly. We flew over dense jungle that she said was inaccessible by foot and viewed waterfalls falling into pristine pools. Would be curious to try it again after a rain shower, as we were told each and every gully turns into a waterfall!

This was one of my and my husbands favorite things we did our first time out to Hawaii. We were thrilled we were in whale infested waters and it was super cool to have the whales literally swimming under us, as we saw and heard them. It was awesome one whale swam right under our guide (Griff) who got amazing photos of the whole experience!
Would definitely do this again during whale season! Snorkeling to see the green sea turtles was amazing too. And all by getting a little exercise, rowing. Nice!
Thanks Griff and South Pacific Kayak!

Definitely do the Snuba! We was so many turtles at the second dive site. The first site was great for getting used to Snuba and seeing some interesting fish. One of the kids from the family on board with us saw a shark even!
There were so many turtles at the "cleaning stations" for the second dive site. They were popping up to breathe near the boat before we even got in the water! We got underwater cameras on the boat as well. The diver guiding us through the snuba snapped some closeup pictures of the turtles for us! Such a great experience!
The crew was fantastic. It was a smaller boat, so it wasn't like a cattle call getting on and off the boat. The captain even went out of his way on the way back so that we could see some whales! We got to see 6 whales total on the trip! Great experience! Great crews! I couldn't recommend this particular tour enough. Tremendous value for the money and a crew that was so much fun!

We were staying at the Royal Lahaina, so we got to hear another Luau on another night... It was a little different than the Luau we attended, which I think is nice because it makes it a unique experience!
The food was great. I highly recommend getting the "speed pass" for an additional $15 at the door and arriving early to get the best seats! It's well worth the additional money :-)

Polynesian Adventure Tours was fabulous - great, knowledgable guides and they pick you up super early so that you get there before the big crowd for a front row seat (it gets surprisingly busy).
BRING WINTER CLOTHES (if you think to book it before traveling) otherwise buy sweaters or a jacket or blankets or all of the above...the 3x suggestion of warm clothing on your "to bring" list is not kidding - i wore 4 sweaters and was just comfortable - pants, scarves, gloves a must!!!
Stunning views, definitely a must see

This was a great tour. We were able to see a lot of the island. The first part, up to Hana, was beautiful! Our tour guide pointed out places that were historically important, and various Hawaiian plants. He also told us which plants were native to Maui and which were brought over in canoes from other Pacific islands as well as what the plants were used for. Very informative! I would not recommend driving to Hana yourself; the road is narrow - one lane in a lot of places, with hairpin corners, and mostly on the side of the cliff. The drive around the back side of the volcano was not so fabulous. It was a very dry climate there so not as lush and beautiful. We pretty much just drove through that area. Made the tour seem kind of long.
