I was with my mother during this vacation. She and I went to Maui as part of a medical convention. Our tour guide was "Ed" and he was just as great as I had previously read about him on this VERY SITE!! Ed is very knowledgeable about all of Hawaii, not just the areas that you will go to. He spent a great deal of time talking to us about Hawaiian culture as well as the tour route information.
First off we were picked up at our hotel by the tour company and transported to the Maui airport promptly by the timing described in our confirmation email. We then flew to Oahu and met Ed. This process is made easier for the tour guide and you by stickers that you are supposed to wear, it helps the guides find you. We then went to Pearl Harbour as the first part of our trip. Pearl Harbour was very moving as I suspected it would be. It is an experience to be there and unless you are a small child, I am sure all teenager aged upwards would be moved by the sites, the movie, the wall and the actua

I flew directly into Maui but wanted to see Pearl Harbor. This tour was the perfect opportunity! They arranged the flight to O'ahu and a nice, small bus with large windows to transport the group through the day and deliver us back to the airport on time. Our guide was excellent and entertaining! Be prepared for a long, full day but return with a complete experience of Pearl Harbor and a narrated bus ride through many sight of Honolulu. Lunch on Wikiki was a riot! The tour was interesting and well organized but allowed me the opportunity for some individual exploration and relaxation.

This was a very family-oriented activity. Of course, the kids loved the submarine. Being from Iowa, we don't get to see much marine life, so it was exciting to see them underwater in the wild. We will do this again when we come back to Maui someday. Mahalo!

Our guide Kaileo was a true local who whole-heartedly enjoyed sharing his ocean with us. He was extremely knowledgable and went beyond what other 'mass market' tour companies offer. He lead out our small group and took the time to educate us about the reefs and ocean bottom, showing us turtles, octopus, starfish, eels and countless fish. (allowing us to even hold the octopus and starfish if we so desired!) I'd certainly go back again when in Maui and would reccomend this trip to anyone who is comfortable with the open ocean. Mahalo!

For my mother's 50th birthday, my husband and I sent our family to Maui. My parents had never been to Hawaii so we wanted them to experience the "Hawaiian style". Their time started with a lei at the airport (which I feel everyone has to do at least once in their life). Sure this may be cliche but my parents enjoyed the special attention. This is a great company to go with because of their prices and attire. Thank you for helping make my mother and father's vacaction in Hawaii wonderful.

The staff on this boat is amazing! They provide a great breakfast with bagels, fruit, etc. They also have a BBQ lunch whereas most other boats only provide deli sandwiches. Unlimited drinks too. We only had about 80 people on our boat so it was really roomy (usual capacity is 120 or so). They also provide high quality underwater cameras (for a fee) and they document the trip in a video and photo CD which you can also buy. Definitely try snuba if your budget allows! The instructor is terrific! 5 stars all the way! Absolutely no complaints!

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.

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.
