A surprise helicopter tour for my birthday from my boyfriend was one of the best presents ever! As we departed Maui, we flew straight to Molokai to see the world's highest sea cliffs and the lush, greenery of the unspoiled island.
There were countless waterfalls and the water was beautiful! I learned a lot about the islands of Maui & Molokai, and it was definitely an experience I would recommend to everyone visiting Hawaii for the first time. We will definitely be doing more helicopter tours in the future!

We signed up for the afternoon Coral Gardens and Captain Dan to us to Molokini Crater which was super awesome. Our first time snorkeling out in the middle of the ocean and we are planning on doing it again next year as a family with our 6 yr old son. We went solo this time for our honeymoon. Tre did great on the video we purchased. Very pleased to see footage of us. MAHALO FOR THAT! BBQ was very nicely done. Not dry at all. Great crew!! ALOOOOOHA & MAHALO!

We love to horseback ride and this was the 2nd time we chose Mendes Ranch. The staff is knowledgeable and very much fun. The trails were great and we were actually allowed to gallop our horses! I would definitely recommend Mendes to anyone wanting a great horseback riding experience in Maui!

The Crew aboard the Aqua Adventure are 2nd to NONE. Each and every member was awake and energetic at 6:30a and very hospitable from the moment we were in line reading the waivers. They were very respectful and helpful in every manner; they safely stored our shoes then firmly held our hands and arms to help us securely board the boat and engaged in getting to know us as they picked out the perfect snorkeling gear sizes for us. The Boat as well as Snorkeling instructions from the Captain were very informative yet personable with some light humor. At both snorkeling spots 1-2 of the crew members voluntarily guided us to the best snorkeling spots if we wanted to follow and showed us the largest sea turtles we have ever seen as well as an octopus and a starfish! The boat speaks for itself with the 2 350hp Cummings Diesel engines that made powering thru the fast wind from the North a piece of cake. Other tours had to take a much longer detour to get back due to the lack of horsepower

This was a surprise for my husband, daughter and her friend. The greeter was waiting, even though our plane was 20 minutes early. Helped us find our luggage, posed for pix with the girls, and helped us to find where our rental company would pick us up. We were very happy to be greeted by someone so helpful! What a nice intro to Maui!

I arranged for this greeting for my grandchidren and Grown Children. I took the less expensive leis and they were not a quality I was expecting. There also was not much to the greeting. I barely got photos before it was over. On a good note, they were prompt and easy to find.

Has a great time! The crew was very nice and we enjoyed the ride. I think for the money we spent if people want a wetsuite top they shouldn't charge and extra $5. It kind of cheapens the experience. But, that being said it's a worthwhile adventure. Were glad we did it because snorkeling at the crate was awesome!

We heard this was one of the best dinner cruises so decided to try it. The crew and food was fantastic, but as far as "romantic dinner cruises" are concerned, this was ok. I say this because we didn't actually "sail" at any time. I think that was due to the windy conditions, so understandable, but I felt bad for the people who had to stand to eat their food or go sit with no table out in the front of the boat!! That's fine for a picnic or breakfast cruise... NOT a romantic, sunset dinner cruise that you are advertising. We were trying to squeeze people around tiny tables and stand at others to eat plated fork and knife food. Not cool.

The Maui Sunset Dinner Cruise was by far the highlight of my trip to Hawaii! We were lucky enough to be on an evening cruise that only had 6 couples. The amazing staff took such good care of us. They really gave us the royal treatment! The food and drinks were awesome. Cruising on this great sailboat was incredible. I will never forget sitting on the deck watching the sunset. It was wonderful. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone!!

主人と二人でマウイ到着翌日に参加しましたが、悪天候のため頂上まで行っても霧がかかっていて星は見られる状態ではなく帰ってきて、スケジュールを空けていた2日後にリベンジしました。
お弁当と国立公園の入園料(計$15)のみでリベンジできるのは、マウイオールスターズだけだと聞いています。
2日後は天候も回復して、雲海、美しいサンセットと共にグリーンフラッシュ、地球の影、そして満月近くの明るい月と遠くに水蒸気が発生していないと見えないムーンボウまで見ることができました。
ガイドの山内さんは満月が近いから星がいつもよりは見えていないとおっしゃいますが、星もたくさん見ることができ、日本では見えない星、月面の横顔ミッキー、木星の縞模様も見られました。
たくさんの星を見ながら説明を聞く時は、イスと大きいブランケット、温かいお茶を用意して下さるので、背もたれに頭を預けて上を向いてゆっくり星が見られます。
立って上を見ていると首が疲れますが、イスに座るととても楽チンです。
これも山内さんのご経験からの心遣いです。
お弁当も食べずに参加者のためにイスを出して望遠鏡などをセットしていらっしゃいました。
体験談で山内さんのお人柄にふれている方が多いのも納得です。
普段なかなか星を見る機会がないので、山内さんのお陰でとても貴重な体験ができました。
次回はなるべく満月から遠い時に参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

星空もよかった!!! 流れ星もたくさん見ました。
ハワイ島のマウナケアより標高が低いので体力的にはこちらのほうが楽でした。お年寄りや小さなお子さんにはいいと思いました。また行きたいです。
片道一時間半で麓から上れるのも魅力ですね。
ただ一気に行けるのですが、3000メートルなのでゆっくり上がってくださいね。

Blue Hawaiian is the company that filmed the scenes for Jurassic Park and our pilot took us out to where the filming took place. Absolutely beautiful. Just the helicopter ride itself is a real rush but to see 2500 ft waterfalls, the tallest ocean cliffs in the world and a rock shaped like a sleeping elephant in the middle of the ocean is just a bonus. The staff was very friendly and the pilot certainly knew the history of the islands; he kept it very interesting. We purchased the DVD of our flight and the DVD of the islands from a helicopter view and both are awesome.
Do it!!
Thanks so much for your feedback! This is a great review! Please make sure to "Like" our page on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters at Facebook. We hope to see you again! Mahalo for choosing us!

We take this excursion to Molikini and Turtle Island every time we visit Maui. The crew of the catamaran, Capt Fish, David and Gary were amazing. They kept us safe, hydrated with water (or adult beverages), and made sure everyone that got in the water, got out of the water.
They also had a professional photographer who made sure everyone had a grand time, and preserved it on a CD you will not believe. The colors light up and we are glad he was along. We didn't have to worry about taking pictures.
We saw lots of whales, beautiful fish, but were a bit short on the turtles.
The selection of meats, cheeses and salad for lunch were a surprise. The sandwiches were easy to assemble, the bread was fresh, and it was just really good.
Go and enjoy!

I ordered leis for my brother and his wife because they had never been to Hawaii and this would be a nice surprise. Our plane landed a little early so we missed our greeter. Finally caught up with him as he was getting in a car to go home! He didn't know we landed early. (I thought they were supposed to check on that?) The leis were beautiful and my brother and his wife were nicely surprised. I would do this again.

夕日もさることながら、夜空の素晴らしさも感激しました!
食事もおいしい幕の内弁当で、パン食続きだった胃にはありがたかったです。
ガイドの方のちょっとしんみりと考えさせられるお話も私的には心が洗い流されるようで感動しました。
ただ、鼻風邪気味の方は要注意!急性航空性中耳炎になってしまい、帰国してから鼓膜を切開しました。
今度は夏の夜空も見てみたいな!と思います。
風邪気味のかたは3000メートルに登りますので、気圧の関係で症状が悪くなる事もあります。
是非登る前にご相談下さい。その後具合は如何ですか?心配しております。

残念ながらサンセットは見れませんでしたが、天の川や流れ星がたくさん見れました♪海外で色んなツアーに参加したことがありますが、当ガイドさんの丁寧なサービスにビックリしました!!
毛布、コート、手袋を貸して頂けますが、タイツかロングソックスをで足元をもうちょっと暖かくして行けば良かったと思いました。ゴツゴツした岩場も少しありましたが、足を捻ったりしない自信があれば全然ヒールでも大丈夫だと思います。お勧めです♪
普段見れない絶景が山の上にありますよね。この日サンセットは雲が多くて見れなかったのが残念です。
山頂はあれほど寒いとおもいませんですよね~。次回は完全装備でいらしゃってくださいね。

I've been on many sunset cruises that are fun when you are whit a group of people but they are less personal. This was a very intimate cruise for couples or close couples friends. This was a surprise for my girlfriends 30th birthday and she was very impressed. The staff was fun and professional, the cruise was VERY romantic, and the captain knew when the whales would appear which gave it a nice personal touch and made the trip that much more memorable.
I couldn't be happier with your service and I would highly recommend to future travelers.
Sincerely,

ハレアカラの絶景は、本当に最高でした。その日その日によって表情を変えるサンセット、今まで見たことがない程の星空、言葉になりません。
そしてガイドのYamapeeさんの人柄がとても心地よいです。
気配りの届いた対応、到着までの場所でのガイド、マウイのお得情報も聞くことができ、思った以上の素晴らしい体験ができました。
防寒具も充実で悪いとこナシです~、幕の外弁当もグリグリアイスも良かった~
山はゆっくり登った方が高山病にならないのです。
しかもお腹に少しドーナッツか、寄り道してアイスクリームなどを
食べて行くと本当に元気で山頂に行けます。
マウイに一軒しかない、いや世界に一軒のグリグリアイスは絶品です。笑
