Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Awesome experience

Reviewed by: Sachin Gupta, 2015/12/01

Awesome tour . Very scenic drive . Our tour guide was Charles, he knew everything about all the places we went through right after we started from hotel until back . He knew exactly where to stop or slow down to take awesome pics or view the beauty of Hana . 5 on 5 for this beautiful tour and knowledgable guide.. I took 1 star for the lunch provided . Breakfast was light fruits and rolls and being on entire day trip, we were expecting a better lunch . Besides salad , steamed rice and watermelon, there was chicken and being vegetarian this did not feel like lunch . We got a veg taco plate when asked about the veg option, which was equally bad and cold
Apart from this I would say this is a must do if in Muai to see actual nature ..

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

ハワイのツアーでNo.1

Reviewed by: うみがめ, 2015/11/29

今回、6日間のハワイ旅行でたくさんのツアーに参加しましたが、間違いなくNo.1のツアーです。

ハレアカラ山頂から見える色鮮やかなサンセット、180度見渡せる星空、ともに今までの人生の中で一番綺麗でした。

景色だけでなく、山内さんのお話で、純粋な心を思い出しました。

帰国後も、たまには夜空を見上げて、マウイ島の星空&山内さんのお話を思い出したいと思います。

また来ます!

Maui Ultimate Luxury Sunset Gourmet Dinner Sail & Open Bar - Alii Kai Catamaran

Perfect Evening on the Water

Reviewed by: Gordon Bird, 2015/11/29

My wife and I have just returned from a dinner cruise beyond compare.
It all started with a warm greeting at dockside. Appetizers and non alcoholic beverages followed- the alcoholic drinks included in the price were available after we had cruised out of the harbour,
We had the perfect evening for this cruise. There was some mauka showers early on, which led to a double ended brilliant rainbow. And the crew dried all of the outside seats for later use. Drinks and more appetizers followed as we cleared the harbour under power. Fortunately, the wind was up, but not to strong to sail. ASK TO SAIL! I did, and after the sails were raised, I was given the helm and the compass course. Although I have sailed many times before, it had been several years since the last time. When we reached our anchoring location for dinner, the crew expertly took over and settled all of the sailing rigging.
After watching and photographing an amazing sunset, dinner was served. What a meal! Top quality, lots of choice, and abundant quantities of everything. And there was comfortable table seating for everyone, previous review notwithstanding. Drinks were served at table by the efficient and very friendly crew.
What I really liked about this cruise is that they take a maximum of 32 people, which allowed for easy interaction amongst all of the crew and guests.
The boat was spotless, and the 'heads'-washrooms - were clean and stocked with luxury products.
This is quite an expensive cruise, but worth every penny of the cost.

Haleakala Sunrise Tours - Bike & Zip Ultimate Adventures

The Oppegard Haleakla Sunrise Bike & Skyline tour

Reviewed by: Kayleen , 2015/11/29

We enjoyed the Sunrise and Downhill Bike tour, but a mix up was done on the Zipline and we missed out on the 5 line Zipline tour. The company made it up to us by offering an eight line or the 4 zip and dip line. We had to wait until the afternoon for the Zip and Dip, which was enjoyable, but I really wanted the Indiana Jones type bridge and the pendulum zipline. The staff on all three advents were excellant. They worked hard to make sure that all of the participants were safe and enjoying themselves. Once they found out that we were suppose to be on the 5 line Zipline tour, they worked hard to make it right.

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Road to Hana

Reviewed by: Kandyce Zhong , 2015/11/27

Overall it was a very fun trip. However the trip time wise is a little too long. The food wise too need a little improvement. It was only a little rice and bbq chicken. This trip include a simple breakfast too, but don't expect a continental breakfast. It's just coffee fruits and croissant. Thank you Steve our driver and our guide for the informative trip and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. You will never get to view all the scenery spots if you didn't attend this trip. We went to see a few water falls, it was absolutely beautiful, however we weren't able to swim in the pools as they were closed on that day. We went to black sand beach also, the sands are black, it's really cool... We took awesome lots of picture, it's definitely a memory that you will never forget. Advise to not go to the trip if you're tiered or sick cuz it's a energy consuming trip. Overall you will have fun.

The trip was a nice

Reviewed by: Cindy P., 2015/11/20

The trip was a nice trip this is something you would like to do as a group. We had a really good driver and the tour guide seem to know the area. Gave some information about the different areas and offer take our picture which was nice. The meal we had was ok just the basic chicken and rice. Would like to see a place to get souvenirs the place we went to are so expensive. disappointed about the pool was not open at the state park. Sometimes it seem we were rushed and like at the state park nothing to do since the pool was closed. Tour guide did a good job also taking pictures with me and my spouse. You can do it on your own but i think you would miss a lot of extras. Thank you for a wonderful time and memories.

Reviewed by: Cindy P., 2015/11/18

This is one that you do not want to drive on your own. It is best to book your trip with a group. When we booked ours with a group they do a great job of showing some extra places to go and stopped at some shopping places. Our tour person did a wonderful job explaining what you will see and took you around to the different areas and explain what you were looking at. I think his name was Steve very patient and gave us a lot of information along some shopping spots and what to buy. Dress warm it can get cold for a little while in morning i bought a throw but maybe a big towel from the hotel might work. Breakfast was really good and some great choices. They also served a snack with choices of a drink. Tour guide did a good job also taking pictures with me and my spouse. You can do it on your own but i think you would miss a lot of extras.

Came to Maui for my honeymoon and of course had to do zip line. Read great reviews about this spot so we booked the 4 line zip n dip. It definitely lived up to all the reviews. Amazing views of the mountains and ocean and awesome employees. They made the experience that much more fun. Next time we're in Maui we will for sure be doing the zip n dip again.

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

感動!!!

Reviewed by: よこはまのちーさん, 2015/11/14

マウイは今回で4回目ですが、山へ行くのは初めて。時間通りにやまちゃんさんがホテルに迎えにきてくれました。行きの車中では、みんなの出身地を聞いたりして賑やかな時間でした。途中お土産屋さんへ立ち寄り、やまちゃんお薦め商品を試食して購入したりしました。山頂に着くころにはサンセットタイム、山頂は雲の上です。サンセットは赤いだけではなく、青い色との何層にもなってました。その後、少し下山して車中でお弁当。食べ終わり、みんなで下を向いて外へ、見上げた空はなんとプラネタリウムでした。肉眼で見る天の川!!!望遠鏡を使って土星も見ることができ、感動感動でした。命の洗濯ができたと言っても過言ではないと思います。やまちゃんのわかりやすい星の説明、一人一人への気遣いははプロ中のプロだと思いました。

同じ横浜の出身でしたね!日本ではなかなか見れない夕焼けと星空を楽しんで頂き、喜ばしく思います。星空は我慢に我慢を重ねて、みんなで「せーの」で見ることにしており、やはり暗くなるまで「下を向いて歩こう」は必要なのです(笑)また是非お目にかかれることを楽しみにしております!

夕飯を購入しにスーパーへ立ち寄ったのですが、珍しいお寿司にテンションが上がりました(笑)こちらもすごく美味しかったです。
もちろん夕日も星空も素晴らしかったです!
夕日が沈むときにはグリーンフラッシュが見れ、満月だったので星空は期待していなかったのですが、天の川も見れ、とても感動しました!
私はヒートテックやTシャツ、トレーナー、インナーダウンなど、計6枚着て、その上にレンタルのダウンを着たのですが、それでも全然寒かったです。
でも寒くても参加する価値はあると思います!

A Day to Remember

Reviewed by: Lonna Weaver, 2015/11/07

A big thanks to the captain and crew of the Trilogy for providing our family with a fantastic sail and snorkle! The crew was competent and experienced while maintaining a relaxed and friendly atmosphere aboard the sleek vessel. The cruise did not dissapoint with nice meals special order to meet my gluten free dietry needs. The snorkling stops were just long enough to enjoy with plenty of time to relish some traditional sail time as the captain hoisted the billowing sails over the catamaran. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy world class snorkling on beautifully clear aquamarine waters under the azure Pacific skies.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

透明度はやはり格別

Reviewed by: cica, 2015/11/04

初めてのマウイ島のため海の透明度を体感したくて参加しました。
元々船酔いする体質ですが、それなりの大きさの船と聞いていたので、一生に一度くらいはと思って参加しましたが、やはりダメでした。揺れはあまり大きくないのですが、船酔いする体質の方はやはり避けたほうがいいと思います。
それでもがんばってシュノーケリングはしました。
思ったよりも魚はいませんでしたが、やはり透明度は最高で、気持ち良かったです。ウメガメに会えるというスポットでも今回は残念ながら会う事はできませんでした。
けっこう水が冷たいのでウェットスーツはレンタルする事をオススメします。
朝食、昼食もとても美味しかったです。昼食は持ち帰って食べましたが、船酔いさえしていなければ船の上で食べるハンバーガーはとても美味しくて気持ち良かったのではないかと思います。
なにより日本語ガイドの方がずっと気にかけて頂いて、とても感じの良いガイドさんでした。
船酔いするのでもう参加する事はありませんが(笑)、船酔いしてでも参加して良かったです。
魚の少なさに星マイナス1つです。

Lanai Jeep Rental with Round-Trip Ferry Ride from Maui [Closed]

Jeeping in Lanai

Reviewed by: AZ jeepers, 2015/10/31

We booked a Maui to Lanai Ferry tour with a jeep rental from Veltra. When we arrived at the ferry the clerk was extremely courteous and had our tickets ready for us. The ferry was on time and we had a smooth ride over to Lanai. The shuttle driver was at the landing when we arrived and he was very informative about the island and dropped us at the jeep rental location and reminded us when he would be there to return us to the ferry. We had a yellow 2 door jeep waiting for us and we were given a map on where we could drive. Lanai apparently had a ton of rain and most of the roads were not accessible for us. We really wanted to drive to Shipwreck Beach and fortunately it was the only dirt road open to us. We had a nice hike out to the end of the point and saw turtles and some fascinating washed up debris. We found a Mouflon sheep horn on the beach and small shells, bobbers, rope, and misc. trash. The rusty tanker was really awesome! When we walked back we stopped for lunch on the square and went back to our pickup point. The ferry back was a little rougher, but we arrived on time back at the dock. Glad we went, just disappointed about the other closed trails. I gave it four out of five stars because everything was great except the rain closed all but one of the trails, not the fault of the tour agency.

  • Our Jeep rental parked at Shipwreck Beach, Lanai.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Snorkeling Trip to Lanai with the Lahaina Princess

Reviewed by: Christian, 2015/10/24

We already booked the snorkeling trip from our home in Austria and had no expectations at all what we will get as we were snorkeling-novices. On our first day on Maui we made a short trip from our hotel in Kihei to Lahaina to check where our trip will start the next morning. A very friendly lady at the port in Lahaina told us where our snorkeling trip will start and which boat will take us out.
The next morning an extremely friendly captain and his crew welcomed us on board and took us out to two awesome snorkeling spots. On our way we were served breakfast. At the snorkeling spots the crew was enormously helpful with the snorkeling equipment and to get into the water. During the snorkeling the crew members were out on surfboards two overlook the snorkelers. We felt extremely safe and fine.
On our way back we were served lunch with fresh fruits and beverages and nice things to eat.
We can highly recommend this company for booking a snorkeling trip. Unfortunately we did not see any dolphins or green turtles this day, but that is absolutely not the fault of the company.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Cruise summary and assesment

Reviewed by: Lynda DeWard, 2015/10/24

On October 7th we joined the Dolphin watch Snorkel cruise to Lanai. It was quite breezy that day and upon boarding we were informed that because of the weather the cruise to Lanai had to be canceled and alternate snorkel locations would have to be used instead of the live coral reefs originally promised off the coast of Lanai, and further, the activities and relaxing time on Lanai would be out of the question. Although very disappointed we understood the situation and sympathized with the cruise captain. She was very nice and we felt sorry for her. We proceeded to her first chosen snorkel location off the coast of Maui, dropped anchor and began preparation for our first snorkel dip. The underwater scenery was somewhat less than spectacular but the experience was interesting. Not having snorkeled for several years it was an exhilarating experience to paddle in the ocean and explore the ocean floor. Subsequently, we pulled anchor and headed for another snorkel area off the shore of Maui and had our lunch, which was quite good and filling. When we arrived at the second site it was too windy to dive there and we were forced to find another alternative site. Again, interesting but even less spectacular than the first and really too windy to enjoy. Exhausted and chilled we finally headed back to Lahaina harbor for our cruise departure. Final assessment, the crew was very good and experienced, the captain was very good and well informed and handled the situation, much as it was, graciously and all in all we did enjoy ourselves on the cruise, but we didn’t even come close to what we were expecting for our investment.

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Great tour

Reviewed by: Laurie , 2015/10/21

I wished we had a more outgoing/energetic group of passengers along with us, but our driver, Sam made up for it, amazing me with his non-stop humor and entertainment. As others said, I am very glad I did not have to drive that one-lane two-way road with rusty railings and precarious turns myself for hours and hours of driving (see the one photo attached where looking out my window you could see an inch of pavement and then the drop). The tour buses being higher than car height and having large windows provided a wide-open view i would not have see from my rental car. Sam educated us on Hawaiian history, and pointed out dining spots, fauna, flora, and talked of herbal uses of the plants. He talked about his family and their land, and told stories of growing up in Hawaii. He made certain to stop and let us take photos from the tour bus, at perfect photo spots along the road often near its many bridges, rivers, falls. We were handed a map at the beginning with spots high-lighted in yellow where we would get out and walk around, so we could gauge how long we had to go. The places we stopped were gorgeous. Some had very short paths to explore. The banana bread stop nice. At one popular waterfall stop, the road jammed up and Sam was out there, cooling tempers with his humor, making friends, and directing traffic to clear the gridlock. The open air restaurant in Hana was good, beautiful artwork, nice lunch. Sam brought us tastes of a local dish, Poke, the restaurant made. Unfortunately at the one stop for swimming at the 7 Sacred Pools of 'Ohe'o, the park has certain conditions the surf must meet to let you down there to swim: it was closed that day, and I was terribly disappointed after seeing so many beautiful pictures on the internet and hoping it to be the big finish, but Sam still gave us time enough time to do the circular hike out to the point above there, as consolation. I am very glad I signed up for this tour. Was sad when the day was over.
