My husband and I had a wonderful time on this zipline tour. The 8-lines were so much fun, and the view was great. The tour was that much more fun because of our wonderful guides, Adam and Jordan. Both were very knowledgeable and so much fun. I highly recommend this zipline tour to anyone and everyone!!

2回目の参加でした。
初参加時の星空観測が寒くて楽しさ半分でしたので、今回は用意周到の厚着で参加しました。
しかし、生憎の満月に当たってしまい残念でした。
まあ、それでも山内さんとの会話が楽しみでリピートしましたから良かったです。
いつ来ても、本当にハワイの離島に住みたいと思いますね。

初のラナイ島観光ということでツアーを頼みました。英語ガイドと書いてあったのでとても不安でしたが、ガイドのブルースはとてもフレンドリーでわかりやすい英語でラナイ島の歴史や地理などを教えてくれました。
とてもきれいなビューポイントもたくさん連れて行ってもらい大満足でした。
初めてでラナイ島を自分だけで回るのはとても大変なので、とてもよいツアーだと思いました。

Been visiting Hawaii Islands for years, and it's our first time to island of Lanai. The packaged deal gave the idea, and means to explore islands to find places/sights that are NOT cramped with fellow tourist. Just a bit caution for people who might easily get car/sea sickness: The ride are rough, but the rewards are extraordinary: You get a picture prefect beach all to yourself!!

It was an amazing experience. The sights were something out of a story book. Best part about the ride was they got us through different terrains including a very narrow heavily vegetated area. My horse was spirit - intermediate level. And she was pretty free spirited. The runs were awesome with her. My wife had quick smoke who was very gentle yet her runs were fun too! Our guides were awesome as well. All in all definitely a thing to do in Maui.

We had a wonderful time on this day trip to Lanai. Everything from the time we checked in at Lahaina harbor until our return to the harbor went smoothly. We were met at the harbor in Lanai, escorted to our jeep rental and off we went. What a FUN day !! Rough and rugged roads but it was a blast. Don't miss this one, well worth the money if you like adventure and beautiful scenery and like to explore on your own.

The reservation process was simple and the package allows for Kama'aina discount (Hawaii Residency discount), which you would have to call and request for it.
Our overall experience was good regarding getting the ferry and jeep rental reservation however I would've provided the 5th star if we were notified that our ferry back from Lanai to Maui was going to be cancelled. While my boyfriend and I were waiting at the dock for the last ferry to head back to Maui, we overheard another family talking about how the same ferry ride we were taking was cancelled earlier in the day due to the water conditions. They have mentioned they had received a call to notify the family but my boyfriend and I did not receive a call ourselves. I'm not sure if it's the responsibility of Veltra or the ferry vendor to contact their travelers but it would've been nice to receive some sort of notification so that we can arrange accommodation if we were to be stuck on Lanai overnight.
In the end our ferry ride was reinstated to head back to Maui but it was the most terrible and choppiest ride ever. Many were sea sick on the ride but that's not really the fault of Veltra, more of Mother Nature. Other than not being notified of the possible ferry cancellation, everything else about the reservation was great.

ヤマピーさんのおかげで一生の思い出ができました。
身体に負担がないように、クリスピークリームドーナツやクラロッジに寄りながら、
ハレアカラ山頂を目指します。
高齢の両親と一緒だったため、寒さや高山病が不安でしたが、
ヤマピーさんツアーはそんな心配不要でした。
雲海とサンセット、
そして、地面に寝転がって見た、あの満天の星空は忘れられません。
星を見ながらのヤマピーさんのお話も心に響きました。
泣きそうになるのをぐっとこらえて、
オリオン座を見ていました。
また一緒に来ようね、と両親と約束しました。
スーパーで選ばせて下さった夜ごはんのお寿司は美味しく、
車中では温かいお茶やおやつまでいただきました。
星空観測後の車中では、
ヤマピーさんセレクトの音楽を聴きながら、
感動にひたりつつ、ホテルまで送っていただきました。
一緒のツアーだったご夫婦もとてもやさしくしてくださり、
みんなでワイワイ楽しい旅でした。
椅子や毛布、ダウンジャケット、知識、気配り心配り、
ヤマピーさんのツアーはハワイNo.1だと思います。
素敵なコメントを頂き恐縮です。人生は本当にあっという間に過ぎてしまい、あの満天の星空を見上げると生きている時間は数秒のような気がします。またお目にかかれることを楽しみにしております!

This was a fun and adventurous trip. The island has so many different types of landscape and things to do. We were able to hike out to Shipwreck Beach and find the petroglyphs. We also enjoyed the snorkeling in Manele Bay the reef was so clear. On the ferry ride over we saw whales as well. Everything is well organized, ferry ride was quick and jeep pickup very easy. There are many back roads to explore as well. I highly recommend this trip to people looking for a non-touristy adventure. We were exhausted upon our return to Maui but it was well worth it!

All parts of this trip went very well. We were on time in the morning to pick-up our ferry tickets at the Laihaina Lanai Ferry Booth and they had a prepared envelope waiting for us with all the tickets and information for the day. Upon arrival at Manele Small Boat Harbor, we were cordially met by Rick as we walked off the ferry, who quickly whisked us away and up to Lanai City and Dollar Rental. Our Jeep was waiting for us and check-in was smooth, cordial and we were given a map and suggestions on starting our day exploring Lanai'i. We had a great time finding our way down the bumpy one-lane dirt roads to the Garden of the Gods and partly to Polihau Beach. We returned and then went to see Shipwreck Beach in the sand. No problems, as we were careful to avoid soft sand areas. We returned to Dollar Rental at noon concerned that the late afternoon and evening ferries may be cancelled due to rough seas. We decided to return on the 2 p.m. ferry. The Dollar Rental agents and Rick, who we happened to see at the Grocery Store / gas station, were very helpful in arranging earlier shuttle service to the harbor and changing our ferry tickets for the earlier return. Note: everything seems to happen there at the one-stop grocery store / gas station / Dollar Rental place and parking lot. Even with the changes, all went quickly, no hassles, and we were back to the harbor with time to spare for the return bumpy, high-seas ferry ride to Lahaina. If it is rough seas, sit in the inside lower deck center rear section. We have great memories, pictures and fun stories to tell of our half-day on Lanai'i, thanks to how easy the tour arrangements worked and how friendly everyone was on our excursion. Recommended.

I have done many different tours in Hawaii, and no doubt Jasmine was the best tour guide I have ever had. The tour was perfect from the pick up until the drop-off.
I wasn't sure what to expect since this was my first time on the island but I'm glad I did it. I would never have been able to see this much in one day by myself. She safely drove us through windy and narrow roads and took us to places where large tour buses cannot go.
What a difference Jasmine makes. She is a local Maui girl who deeply loves what she does, she is very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about Maui's history, culture, geology, ecology, industry etc.
This tour took me to many out of the beaten path places in Maui, giving me memory that will last a lifetime! If you are visiting Maui I highly recommend booking the West Maui Sightseeing Tour!
Wow, thank you for your beautiful review. I feel touched by the warmth of your words. I too had an awesome day. Thank you for such great company! Wishing you many more moments of joy, love and laughter together. Warmest aloha... Jasmine

First, once Veltra sells you something, they're done with you until they start pestering you for a review. The actual excursion was by Hike Hawaii. On the day of our trip, they called me at 6:30 AM to tell me that the kayak portion of our trip was cancelled due to high winds. We hadn't scheduled a kayak portion. So they called me at 6:30 AM because they don't have their crap together enough to know what their customers have signed up for. The excursion was basically a brief stroll through the woods, with a little fruit, a bottle of water, and a cookie provided. After paying hundreds of dollars for two of us, they actually cut the trip short and we got back 15 minutes ahead of schedule.
After that, Veltra has the nerve to send you email saying that they're expecting you're review. Not asking for one, just telling you how much they're looking forward to seeing it. There's no opt-out link for this, which I think actually violates certain standards. You have to jump through hoops to have your account removed, even though you never asked for an account to be set up in the first place.
They're pushy, presumptuous, and overpriced.
This review will never be seen because Veltra basically reserves the right to remove anything negative in their terms of use.
Warm Aloha,
Thank you very much for taking the time to write your valuable feedback on your recent experience with us. We work very closely with our activity partners to make sure that our clients are well cared for.
Unfortunately, your original requested date was not available for the short waterfall walk but in an effort to accommodate your request, Hike Maui offered to upgrade you to include optional kayaking and a complimentary lunch. Due to weather, the kayak portion was cancelled and although your lunch was packed, it did not make it to you on the trail. We accept complete responsibility for this mishap and would like to make it up to you with a full refund.
Your Hawaii experience is very important to us and we are sorry that the tour and process of booking did not meet your expectations, please accept our sincerest apologies.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
VELTRA Customer Support

マウイ島は気に入って何度か旅行しています。
以前からずっと気になっていた評判の良いヤマピーさんのツアーに今回参加して、何故もっと早く参加しなかったんだろう!と思えるぐらい素晴らしいツアーでした。サンセット・星空が綺麗なのはもちろん、ヤマピーさんの心遣いがとにかく素晴らしかった。色々と楽しませてくれ、ツアー参加者の事を第一に考えてる内容だと思いました。高齢の母と参加したので星空を見る際に毛布とイスがあったのは助かりました。昔にハワイ島で星空のツアーに参加した時は毛布・イス・温かい飲み物はなく寒かった記憶しかなかったのですが今回は全然違い楽しい思い出となりました!お手洗いをこまめに取ってくれた事も有難かったです。母も楽しんでくれたようで良かったです!また機会があればヤマピーさんの他のツアーも参加してみたいです☆ありがとうございました!
ツアーご参加本当に有難うございます。3000メートルは気圧が低く、やはり椅子に座って星を見るのがベストな天体観測だと思います。とても親孝行のみぃこさんに自分も心を動かされました。お母様にも宜しくお伝えください。

とても楽しく参加できました。やはり頂上は1月だったこともあり、激寒です!自分でも手袋や帽子を持って行った方がいいですね。ガイドはRick,とても楽しくガイドしてくれました。
月が明るすぎたので、星4つとしましたが、それがなければ、5つですね!予約の前に月のチャートを確認して予約するといいかもしれません!
確かにその通りで、月齢表をご覧になって旅行の日程を決められたらベストだと思います。サンセットの時間とムーンライズの時間がずれていれば(最低2時間)満月でも問題ありません。新月が、星空観測に関しては1番の好条件です。

念願のハレアカラにリピートできました!
皆様が書いてらっしゃるとおり、前回とかわらずYAMAPEEさんの良い笑顔、トークに迎えられ、ツアーの皆様の雰囲気もよく、大型バスにはないアットホームな感じでスタートしました。
夏の土星や月面のアップも感動的でしたが、冬の新月の星空は神聖さそのものでした。
いつ来ても違う表情をみせてくれるハレアカラの懐の深さ、満天の天プラに細胞の一つ一つが喜んでいたと感じます。前回は北斗七星の死兆星など見れましたが、今回はオリオン座のベルト下の、くの字の下の星がみんな見れたり、アンドロメダ星雲などを見せていただけました。
目の前の空が全部星で埋め尽くされているなんて体験できません。。。
ハワイにいって、マウイ島を知らないのは勿体ないし、マウイまでいって、ハレアカラに登らないのは本当に勿体ないことだと思います。
ぜひぜひ同じ体験を分かち合いたいなと、また友人達にしつこくしそうです。
