Everyone should be chauffeured along the road to Hana. You don't have to worry about the traffic, the tight curves, or the driver. Our driver Wayne (Pono) was extremely knowledgeable about the road and the history. It seemed we were being driven by a friend. He was friendly with all the locals when we stopped. After our stop at Hana Tropicals I will never be without flowers at home. It was well worth the cost.

I was so afraid that I tried to back out, but the instructor was so sweet and gentle. She talked me into it and led my horse part of the way. She made sure that I was completely comfortable before she let me go on my own. We had a fantastic time! I would definitely recommend and I would definitely come back.

I would like to share with you my wonderful experienced with Maui to Lanai Snorkel adventure. First of all the Captain Lily is very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. Lily explained about our tour and made sure that our safety comes first. There were 2 other staffs, Robin and Cody, who helped served us Continental breakfast such as muffins, juices, healthy food bars and fresh fruits. Breakfast were enough and refreshing.
Our first stopped was at the coast of Lanai. It was our first snorkeling experienced. The water was a little rough and I was scared. Captain Lily made sure that Robin were there to helped us. We were able to see underwater corals and some fish. Robin and Cody were there to helped us and made sure everybody were having fun and feels safe.
Our next stopped was near The coast of Lahaina. The ocean was calmer and some passengers had fun snorkeling. We saw a few Turtles, that was really exciting. We did not see any Dolphin at this time, better luck next time. It was a very pleasant and relaxing day.
Captain Lily cooked some barbecue such as chicken fillets, hamburgers and hotdogs. Lunch were delicious, we made our sandwiches. There were macaroni and potato salads and condiments. They also served some alcoholic punch. We were very satisfied with the food and there were plenty of cold bottled water and sodas.
Captain Lily, Robin and Cody were very good in making our trips enjoyable and memorable.
My friends and I had an Amazing experienced. We took a lot of pictures and selfies. I would recommend this tour to all my friends.
Thank you very much to Captain Lily, Robin and Cody for a job well done. Hope to see you again, whenever I come to visit Maui. Aloha and Mahalo!
Sincerely, Louisa Kiem from San Francisco, California .

安かったので早朝の英語のツアーにしました。説明はあまりよく分からなかったけど、クジラがいるぞ!的なことは、皆の行動で分かるので問題ないかと思います。
ただ4月はもう終わりの時期みたいで、写真の様なダイナミックなジャンプは何頭ものクジラは見られませんでした。けどクジラの親子が近くをずっと一緒に泳いでいて可愛かったです。今度はシーズンの時に行きたいと思います。記念写真とクジラの画像やらが入ったロムとセットで2000円くらいで売られてます。記念写真だけにしてもっと安くすれば売れるのになー、と思いました。

This tour was perfect for us. We didn't want to wake up 2am in the morning to catch the sunrise, so we booked this tour instead. It was the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my life. Definitely an unforgettable moment for me and my wife. If you are a late riser like us, this is a great tour. The dinner was delicious too. Bring a jacket as it gets really cold at the summit.

The boat was decent, the ride itself was lovely and very sunny. We did see whales despite it being the end of the season. However, our guide was not very knowledgeable when it came to the actual whales. Wikipedia could have done a better job informing us. Lots of "um, and stuff" and had no answers to people's questions. Maybe a brush up on information and some note cards would help?

What a great and entertaining show. We did the VIP package and would highly recommend. It was 98 degrees so a little overhead cover would have been nice for the early part of the show but it was dark soon so it did cool off. The food and drinks were great. The dancers/entertainers were top notch. It was nice that after the show you would mingle with the dancers and get pictures taken. Very pleased and would definitely recommend this luau to newcomers to the island

Despite early morning raindrops, we were able to lift off and see the island via the helicopter. Our pilot was so knowledgeable and smooth operator but I still got motion sick from the excursion. My hubby was glued to the windows and loved every moment of the trip. I loved everything I saw even tho I wasn't feeling well. Great job by the pilot on all the knowledge he had on the islands

I wish that the people on the phone would have alerted us that the lodge at Koele was closed to have us make a decision if we wanted to go to the island or not. Maybe it was left out of the discussion on purpose.
Warm Aloha,
We are sorry to hear that the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, The Lodge at Koele was unavailable during your visit, and due to the ever changing nature of hotels and activities throughout the islands, we are not always made aware of specific closures. Had we known about this, we would have been more than happy to let you know.

If you are looking for a sit down dinner & white table cloths, go to Lahaina (and pay a lot more). If you want a relaxed cruise, good music, plenty of good food & drinks with a fun crew, check out the Pride of Maui. The open concept encouraged visiting with other people, which was fun. We even had the extra bonus of having three whales swim right next to the boat! A great evening!

This snorkel cruise was such good fun and definitely worth it! The captain took us to the spots where he thought were the best and he took us to another spot when he was informed that the original place was no good, which is impressive to still give us the chance to snorkel. We were fortunate enough to see whales, dolphins and turtles along with the coral and fish. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. They provided floatation devices for anyone who wanted one, and also a snorkel lesson for the first timers. There was a fun slide off the top deck into the water which was very cool! We would definitely recommend this activity to anyone (but make sure you have something for seasickness).

The Maui to Lanai Snorkel Trip was awesome and definitely value for money! The staff were all super friendly and helpful from the moment we got on board. The boat was lovely with table and chairs on top and a lovely deck around the outside. We really appreciated that the captain took us to another location when the seas were too rough to snorkel in the original place, and we still got in 2 locations to snorkel. The staff were very informative about snorkelling and there was options to take floatation devices out on the water with you, good for first time snorkelers. The lunch was a great BBQ with different meats and options. There was also a slide off the side of the boat which was awesome! Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our time at the Maui Dragon Fruit Farm, on the farm tour, the zipline, and the aquaball. When we got there we were taken for a short tour of the farm which was both pretty and interesting as there were a couple of different tropical fruits, and I imagine it could only be better during dragon fruit season. The Zipline was fun, although it was shorter than we first expected it to be. It was made better by being able to have multiple goes on it. The aqua ball was great fun especially on the hot day. Both of the staff who were with us were really friendly and helpful about tips and advice for the rest of our trip on Maui.

The Maui Dragon Fruit Farm was really interesting on its own before the fun activities, and looked over a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff (who were extremely friendly and helpful for advice about Maui) showed us around the farm pointing out the dragon fruit, pineapples and such. The zipline was shorter than expected, however we got to go on multiple times and was generally really fun. The aqua ball was our favourite part as its a completely new experience than anything we have done before. The road that the ball went down was short, but being in the ball it felt like a long time which was probably perfect for the ride. Overall, it was a good place to do these activities as there was such a friendly atmosphere.

We woke up early and lined up at the harbor to check in for the cruise. The Captain and crew introduced themselves and explained the rules (three points of contact, breakfast and lunch will be served, dive with a buddy, and snorkeling gear will be provided). Once we boarded, the captain kept us apprised of where we were going, what we were seeing and how long it would take. At one point, we saw a group of whales. The Captain stopped the boat and explained that we were watching a mother whale and her new baby. We were also told that the two males following the mother were fighting for the attention of the mother. We then went on to snorkel in two spots. All gear was provided, including masks, snorkels and floating devices. A couple of crew members stayed in the water to watch the group and to point out interesting fish and turtle populations. Overall, it was a great morning and afternoon. And the food was good, too.
