At first I was a bit disappointed because we thought they have forgotten about us,only to find out that they were waiting for us in the other hotel roundabout-there was a little misunderstanding with the pick up location. Our hotel and the next door hotel names are almost the same.Other than that,the trip was amazing. At first,it was all covered by clouds and fog but our guide did not give up and tell us to wait a little longer. True enough..while all have left,we stayed to witness the sunrise. It was amazing! Our guide did not disappoint us!

Sue was amazing. She made sure the van was in good condition before moving forward. She did not disappoint us all the way. She gave us a lot of info all throughout the trip. We did the cave expedition and we did not go to just one but 3.It was truly a great one!

I booked this excursion for my family of 4 (two young adult sons). I specifically chose a Thursday because of the live music. The crew was fantastic, the trip was very smooth, and we all had a great time. The appetizers were nice and they did a great job of offering multiple passes at both the food and drinks. We have done a sunset cruise on each of our trips to Maui and this was amongst the best experiences for us.

It was a smooth and kind and generous session for our son (16y old). He enjoyed so much his time with his teacher that our son asked for more surf in San Francisco.
The teacher was patient, focused on kid, involved with their success…. Good job guys.

Did this tour on our first trip and was not disappointed the 2nd time. Completely different experience. Older folks were able to jump off the 20ft ledges but they also had spots where it was anywhere from1-5ft for young ones or those that were unsure. The hike through the jungle is so beautiful.

The tour is really nice. The tour guide made all the difference. Being a local the way in which he shared the history and the culture island makes the experience all the better. He didn't talk all the time, checked in on the group, and also didn't rush us at certain spots. I am grateful for who we got for the ride. Highly recommend booking this tour. It was a long day, but we were never bored. Wonderful experience!

We had a great time in the sunset and stargazing tour. The tour operator Yamauchi-San was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He promptly picked us up at the scheduled time. He was very engaging with the whole group and provided us with donuts and water at the start of the trip. He ensured that the group got gradually acclimated to the altitude by stopping at couple of places on the way. Once we reached the summit he took us to a place that had a very clear view of the setting sun. Then during the stargazing part of the tour he showed us several stars and star clusters through the telescope and binoculars. Also since it was a full moon we also got a good view of the moon and it’s craters through the telescope. Overall we enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others.

Yoshi is amazing! He is very thoughtful and came prepared. I went to Haleakala for sunset and then went for stargazing. He is very knowledgeable and explained a lot about stars to us using laser & telescope. He gave us donut, tea, blanket, gloves, jacket, and candy. It was amazing!!! He is very kind and friendly. I definitely recommended him to everyone.

My family and I had the best experience. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, the crew was very attentive, friendly, and funny. They provided a great overview of the day activities and what we needed. They checked on us frequently and even provided a little history lesson on the nearby islands. We took about 1 hr boat ride over to Lanai. Once at Lanai, it was a 7 minute walk to the beach. The beach was amazing!!! We did some snorkeling, a short nature walk, and had some time to chill at the beach. The BBQ LUNCH was delicious! The boat ride back we enjoyed 2 cocktails and ice cream. The crew exceeded our expectations. I would definitely do this again! I felt like VIP. Book it! You won’t regret it

My wife and I had an incredible day on this excursion! The exclusive rights to the island that other tour companies do not have is what makes this company one of a kind!! They take you to a "private" beach and allow you to snorkel, hike, and provide a breakfast and lunch! There were other companies snorkeling around reefs but this company actually takes you onto the island!! We HIGHLY recommend! Captain Raquel and her crew were fantastic!

The snorkeling experience was very good. They were informative and patient, helping everyone get equipped. They had 2 spots, I would have preferred just staying at the first stop, as there was less to see at the second, and the swim back to the boat was tiring at the second stop. I recommend using a flotation belt instead of a noodle. I also recommend taking Dramamine for the ride there and back.
Overall a fun time and we saw a lot of beautiful sea life!

This tour is absolutely worth it! Yoshi is tour owner and tour guide with over 20 yrs experience! His tour is perfect for those who don’t want to drive up for their first time in the dark and windy road (like the other tour). Everything was provided as described- and the arctic jackets were a must have because it was freezing and windy! Loved the hot tea provided too! Yoshi is super knowledgeable about the stars and with his telescopes we were able to see the beautiful stars. Oh and the sunset was absolutely terrific too! Definitely worth taking this tour!

This is our first luau so not a lot to compare it to. Check in was super easy and the staff was great. The show
Overall the performers were talented and we appreciated that it was a show of different styles of traditional dance from several Pacific islands. The fire dance at the end was fantatic as well. It was hard to understand some of what was going on as the audio was not super clear and we were disappointed that our table was situated where we could only see 2/3 of the stage.
The meal
The appetizer and desert were really good, poke and Mac salad with pineapple and desert was coconut cream cake.What was not good was the main dish...dry mahi mahi, dry steak and dry pulled pork with rice in middle...really a big let-down.
All in all a mixed bag...great performers but a bit of a let down with the obstructed view and less than stellar meal.
