The ride itself was excellent, and for us first-timers, a really great experience. The boat was late, however, but they promised us a free video of the ride for some compensation. The video won't work, and I suspect the lens cap was left on the camera (sound but black picture). We took our own videos, though, and since we weren't charged for the video it's not a big deal.
No complaints at all about the ride and the employees, though.

ハレアカラは今まで昼間のツアーで2回上ったことがあるのですが、初めてサンセットから夜にかけてのハレアカラを体験出来て、いい思い出になりました。
まずは標高の高い山で、一気に登ると気分悪くなる人もいるとのことで、程よい休憩間隔で徐々に登っていくのですが、休憩場所のセレクトもいい感じで、クリスピードーナツでの軽食やヒッピームーブメント?の匂いが残るようなアーティストの集まっている街、お土産店的な店でもナチュラルテイストな感じのところで、よくツアーで強制的につれこまれるような、売らんかな的な店ではないところなどがチョイスされていて、本番前のドライブでも飽きませんでした。
山頂でのサンセットは空気の透明度が違うせいか、色の映え方が素晴らしく、期待以上の展開が時間の経過とともに変化していき目が離せない感じでした。(写真撮る人は、露出補正などしやすい一眼がいいんじゃないでしょうか)
星空も月齢的に明るくない日であったので、圧倒的な迫力で、手のひらでなでることが出来るような錯覚に陥るほどの感じでした。夜はがらあきの駐車場に椅子をセッティングしてくれ、座った状態で(防寒用のコートやひざかけも希望者には貸してくれました)快適に観察でき、レーザーポインターでの説明も、プラネタリウムにでもいるかのようにわかりやすく行ってくれました。子供も図鑑で見ただけの星座や大三角などをじかに見ることができて、興味をひかれていました。
ツアーガイドの山内さんも、他の方も絶賛している人が多いですが、まさに期待通りの人で、けっして押しつけがましくはない自然なトークで出発から帰着まで楽しませてくれました。
夏休みで参加人数も多かったため、移動のバンの最後席からの乗り降りがちょっと大変(私がでかいせいもあるけど)だったことくらいが困ったけれども、他は大満足のツアーでした。

This was our third luau and the best one so far. The food, including the poi, and drink were plentiful and delicious and the entertainment was awesome. The show consisted of a variety of Polynesian dancing, including fire-dancing. All the dancers were very talented and put on a high-energy show. The layout at the Royal Lahaina provides a perfect view of the sunset over the ocean which is incorporated into the show.
Overall, it was a wonderful luau experience.

The tour was excellent. The tour driver did an awesome job. My only negative comment is that we had limited time to visit the land-based building exhibits. All exhibits on the tour were definitely worth the time and money. This is a high-value tour.

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!

今回ハネムーンでマウイ島に初めて滞在し、ハレアカラ火山も初めてでした。
他にもツアーはあったのですが、ネットで見つけてこのツアー選びました。
結果、本当に良かったです。
何がいいって、内容はもちろんのこと、なんと言っても
ガイドさんが最高でした。
また、他のツアーと違って火山へ行く途中、トイレ休憩に寄るのですが、ただトイレに行くだけでなく、街に立寄り買物できたり、お土産の紹介をしてくれたり、トイレ休憩までも楽しめました。
それから、写真をたくさん撮ってくれたり、温かいお茶のサービスがあったり・・・
そしてそして、一番印象に残ったのが星を鑑賞する際の演出とガイドさんの語り。
なんだか、結婚して新しい生活を始めるにあたり、あのお話は
多くを学び、そして私も自分の人生満足できるようにがんばろうって思いました。
本当にあの星空、あの時思ったこと・・・一生忘れません。
感動をありがとうございました。
今度は両親と一緒に参加したいです。

This tour couldn't possibly have been any better! I had a blast, and i know my friends all did too! We couldn't stop talking about it the whole way back to our hotel...and even the days after! I tried wake boarding for the first time and now am a huge fan. It was great to have just our group with only friends aboard....no strangers and just fun, fun fun. AWESOME.

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!

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+

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

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 purchased a lei greeting for my brother and his family for their first trip to Hawaii. My niece had wondered if you get leis upon arrival like in the movies. I told her no and would have loved to have been there to see her expression when she received hers. I received a call from them expressing their thanks and how lovely the leis were. They really enjoyed that little bit of aloha.

Kind of expected this tour to be pretty boring, I have to admit. But I have family in the military so I figured I should pay my respects and go see what this place is all about.
I was pleasantly surprised. The exhibits were informative without being bland, and getting to actually go on a Navy launch, and walk around on an actual ship was pretty cool. The best part for me I think was the film they showed about the attack itself, with real footage and everything...that really made it real to me.
Worth a visit at least once in your life, and not even boring ;)

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.

Having a boat at your disposal, and just for your family's use is incredible! We felt like kings! The kids chose to use the bumper tubes and whoosh around the water and the wake of the boat. I took so many great pictures of them just laughing their heads off!
What a great time to have been able to share with the kids! My husband and I could not have asked for better! And I caught a few rides too!

I took my daughter on a Hawaiian vacation and I wanted to get out to celebrate the holiday in a special way somehow. She is 13 and just at that age where it is still "cool" to go out on dates with your dad. So I decided to take her on this cruise and make a big night of it.
It was perfect! We got a little dressed up and went on board...there was live music and a delicious dinner (I had Mahi Mahi that was out of this world, and they even had a vegetarian offering for my always on a diet daughter!)
Watching the fireworks show, and seeing my little girl happy and feeling like a queen for the night...that was priceless. Worth the money, without a doubt!

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.
