This was a great hop from Maui to Lanai and we had the added benefit of seeing several whales along the way over and a school of dolphins playing alongside the ferry on the trip back. We'd do it again!

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!

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!!

My husband and I have been to the Old Lahaina Luau and prefer it to this one hands down. Drums of the Pacific seemed corny, as another reviewer posted. The emcee sounded like a barker for a side show..."and now the GRRREEAATT, the FaNTAAAASSSTIC, So-And-So (can't remember the name of the dancer) performing the ...whatever. My brother and his wife, first time visitors, were with us and enjoyed it. We didn't tell them any different so as not to spoil their evening. For first timers, it's OK but if you want culture and history, Old Lahaina Luau is far better.

Our tour guide was very nice and a good driver, and the vehicle was clean and in good condition. My neice and I were surprised and shocked to learn of the history of the people of Lanai'i and how past decisions of a few people greatly impacted the island and how those decisions continue to impact it today. Overall the tour was very enjoyable and I recommend it.

This was an ultimate favorite trip with Hawaii activities. The most interesting part for us was the star sky and our two guides Greg and Chris. They were so impressive good to tell about the stars and volcanoes. So Hawaii activities be sure to keep those two guys as loooong as possible. Worth every penny!

I chose the four winds II because of the glass bottom viewing. We are a family of 4 and 2 swim and 2 do not. All had a great time. Snorkeling was great and saw some whales and turtles on our way back. The pulled pork sandwiches they serve onboard after snorkeling were the best. Would do this again.

We wanted to experience a Luau. It was our first time to the islands. Even though the weather was less than great we had a great time. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to have the luau experience. The food was great.

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。
やっぱりちゃんと星空が見えて満足されての仕事なので、天気の理由には出来ませんよね。
感動して頂くまで頑張ります!笑

普段星なんて見ないので、ハワイでは体験してみようと参加。
解説も良かったし、望遠鏡でいろいろな星を観察できたのがとても良い体験でした。
山内さんのお話も心にしみました。
元気をもらえるツアーです。
小さな双眼鏡では見えない星が沢山あります。GPS望遠鏡は自動で今ベストな星を見つけてくれます!

家族で参加しました。ハレアカラの夕日、最高!!!!
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。

今回、初めてのマウイ島でとりあえず、一番人気のこのコースに申し込みました。
ですが、予想以上によかったです! クジラは沢山みれるわ海亀と一緒におよげたし、すばらしい体験ができました。
マウイ島では日本人が本当に少なく迎えにたガイドさんも日本語が出来ない方だったので心配でしたが、ちゃんと日本人スタッフが付き添ってくださり、丁寧な説明もしてくれたのでたすかりました! またマウイ島にいったら参加したいです
私は今回、少し船酔いをしてしまったので、乗り物に弱い肩は是非酔い止め薬を飲んで参加されることをオススメします

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。

Our guide Glenn was really great. Not only was he a excellent driver ( and the mountain driving can be challenging), he was very knowlegable about Maui, Hawaii and talked us through most of the tour. He was very polite, informative and over all was great. We were on time for everything and he kept everyone interested. I'm glad we chose to do this, because being our first time in Hawaii I would not have wanted to drive the mountain in the early hours of the morning. I would definitely go back again. The Haleakala sunrise and crater are a wonder to be seen. Thanks Glenn for making it even more enjoyable.

Overall this was a good experience for our first luau. The setting was very nice and the fire dancer a huge hit. I thought the dancers and entertainers were great but I would have enjoyed something a little more interactive. Example, instead of just selling the crafts, allowing children to interact. The food was good but the drinks were watered down. I didn't even finish one and ended up buying a $15 drink from the bar. We would likely attend again but also might look for something a little more interactive for the kids.

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。
再会を楽しみにしております。

It was the first time we had done something like this and found it to be something we would do again. Freddy and Roberta were just the nicest people.
