Daytime Haleakala National Park Sightseeing Tour, Iao Valley & Makawao Town

Beautiful scenery and comfortable ride

Reviewed by: Linda K, 2018/11/24

This was a good tour and Preston, our guide, was friendly and informative. I would recommend that the stop at the crater be longer. We went into the Visitors Center first for a few minutes then we felt rushed hiking up to the crater summit. We actually turned around before we got to the top because we didn't want to be late getting back to the bus. I suggest you go up to the summit first and then see the Visitors Center if there is time.

I became a Pineapple Professional at the Maui Gold Pineapple Farm Tasting Tour

Reviewed by: Sally Zeiberg , 2018/08/13

I had an incredible time at The Maui Gold Pineapple Farm Tastiing Tour. To be honest, the only reason I went in the tour was to take pictures of pineapples. However, by the end of the tour, I learned so much about Pineapples. I learned when to pick the pineapples, what colors are the sweetest, the various parts of the pineapples, how to cut a pineapple and so much more. It was time well spent and yes, I took incredible pictures! The tour guide was also the best. He made the tour a lot of fun and definitely knew his material. The tour is fun for the entire family. Definitely worth it!!

マウイ島観光ツアー ハレアカラ国立公園&イアオ渓谷をめぐる <英語ガイド>

物足りない

Reviewed by: Aloha m, 2018/06/11

各所滞在時間も短く物足りなかった。
マウイ島ハイライトとう名称は当てはまらないのではないかと思った。
マカワオの街も散策するほど時間がなく昼食後急いでコーヒーを買うのが精一杯
14時には集合場所で解散になった。
もう少しゆっくりと見て回れても良いと思う。
値段の割にイマイチだなと思っていたところでガイドさんにチップを要求されて、さらにがっかりした。

マウイ島観光ツアー ハレアカラ国立公園&イアオ渓谷をめぐる <英語ガイド>

とても良いツアーでした!

Reviewed by: 海原船吉, 2018/05/11

英語ガイドの現地ツアー(乗客のうち私を含めて3人が日本人で、残り10数名は外国人)で、私の語学力ではドライバー兼ガイドの説明がその2割程度も聞けたかどうかわかりませんが、よく説明されており、1日ツアーとして良かったです。残念ながら、頂上近くのビジター・センターからの眺めは霧で全く見えず、これで終わりかとガッカリしましたが、その後、少し下がった第2展望台ではクレーター全体がきれいに見れてホッとしました。途中の景色も含めて、雄大な眺めに感動しました。予定にあったパイアの街 を通ったかどうかは不明でした(特に問題とは思っていません)が、マカワオの街、イアオ渓谷も良かったです。
当初、迎えのホテル以外への送りは不可とされていましたが、イアオ渓谷観光後にカフルイ方面へのシャトルバスとラハイナ方面への本バス移動に分かれたため、目的のラハイナまで乗せていただき、これも助かりました。
ありがとうございました。

マウイ島観光ツアー ハレアカラ国立公園&イアオ渓谷をめぐる <英語ガイド>

実際のスケジュールと違う

Reviewed by: nnn, 2018/02/11

まず、迎えの時間が7〜8時とありますが、指定された時間は6時半。さらに車が来たのは7時過ぎ。何の連絡もなく30分以上もホテル前の道路で待たされました。
また、ワイルクの町は車窓のみ、代わりに昼食でマカワオに立ち寄り、フラワーガーデンも行きませんでした。
参加した日にはgovernment shutdownがあって、ハレアカラの施設が閉まっていたという影響はあったのでしょうが、前日の確認電話の時も特に案内はありませんでした。
ハレアカラもイアオ渓谷も良かったし、ガイドさんの説明もよかったのに、サイトの説明とここまで違うのでは…

マウイ島観光ツアー ハレアカラ国立公園&イアオ渓谷をめぐる <英語ガイド>

自然体験満載のツアー

Reviewed by: Golfgirl, 2016/09/04

ハレアカラ、イアオ渓谷は行ってみたいポイントだったので、他社とコスパ比較した上で当ツアーに決めました。イアオ渓谷は、バスから降りずに車窓越しに見るツアーが多い中で、こちらは降りて見る事が出来るのも選んだもう一つの理由です。
ドライバーもユーモアたっぷりでわかりやすく説明してくれましたし、ツアー自体は満足していますが、3点ほどご紹介したい点があったので参照ください。
1.ハレアカラ頂上付近では30分と限られた時間で、駐車場から岩場を登り頂上までの往復はかなり慌ただしくスピリチャアルな余韻に浸る間もありませんでした。
2.イアオ渓谷は、写真で見る山から滝が流れている光景とは異なりました。時期によるそうですが、8末時期は滝は見れませんでした。流れる清水を見れるし、マイナスイオン漂う渓谷中を散歩するのは心地よかったです。
3.ランチを頂いたイタリアンレストランはすごく美味しかったです!加え周りのショップはローカルの洋服、アクセサリー等見るのに楽しかったです。グロッサリーストアや地元て人気のベーカリーショップがあるので早めにランチを切り上げ、お買い物時間にあてるのをおすすめします。

Pineapple Visit

Reviewed by: Floyd Wilson, 2016/06/24

This was one of the best tours we have ever attended. We got to see how the pineapple makes it from a small plant, and on the table. The tasting of the different pineapples in the field was wonderful, and there is no way to get the taste of a fresher pineapple than hand picked in the field, cut it and eat it in the field.

Disappointing

Reviewed by: B. Yakubowski, 2016/03/29

The tour was cancelled. We were not notified so drove from Lahaina for the tour, sat and waited for over an hour at the tour location. Finally we used the phone at one of the local businesses (Makaii Glass Creations) to call about it, only to find out the tour was cancelled. I was told we had been emailed about the cancellation but neither email addresses provided received an email and there was no message on our phone either.

急に雨が降り出し、ハレアカラの頂上は0度に近かったと思います。イアオ渓谷はなにかパワーのある場所のような気がしました。マウイの人からは「祝福の雨」と言われました。自分の不必要なエネルギーが流されたような気がします。朝のホテルピックアップは6:30くらいですが実際の集合スポットからの出発は8:30頃で、ホテルピックアップはもっと後でもいいような気がします。

Super Tour !

Reviewed by: Anu, 2014/12/04

This was one of the best tour at Maui. The tour is very informative with respect to the history of pineapple in Hawaii. The guide provided us so much of information and was very good. The tour includes trip to the Maui Gold pine apple processing plant and also to the place where pineapple are actually grown. We got to taste the great Maui gold pineapples and also got to take one home for each one of us. The tour begins at a place which is so cool, got some wonderful pictures at this place.

Overall, it was a tour beyond my expectation. My kids loved it . My son who does not like pineapple started eating pineapple after this tour.

It is a tour which should NOT be missed when you are at Maui

Awesome pineapple tour

Reviewed by: Vish, 2014/12/04

This was one of the tour which brought in pleasant surprise . The tour guide Steve was very courteous and started the tour on time. We got to see the Maui Gold factory where they are processed and packed. Free pineapple for each participant was awesome ! Then the guide took us to the farm where the pineapple are actually grown . The farm is so beautiful, we got a chance to look at pineapple in various stages . The guide,Steve, helped us taste pineapple and showed us 3 different varieties of them . On the way back we learnt many things about pineapple and sugar cane .

I would recommend this tour for everyone , specially for the group with children.

Maui Pineapple Plantation Farm Tour & Tasting with FREE Pineapple Gift Box

Favorite tour on Maui

Reviewed by: Mauilover, 2014/11/03

I booked this tour upon recommendation from friends and family. I had moderate expectations as I am not a "walk through the farm" type of girl, but this was a favorite of my boyfriend and myself. First of, you are driven for the majority of the movement through the farm, so sandals were fine to walk in. Our tour guide Brett was very informative and explained everything about pineapple farming from planting to harvesting and distribution, and how to pick the perfect pineapple. We tasted pineapple at three separate stages and picked a pineapple straight from the stalk. You receive a free pineapple packed and ready for transport back to the states at the end of the tour and let me tell you these pineapples were HUGE. We saw the same two pack that we received for free at the airport for sale for $30. Brett also taught us how to use the pineapples we received to grow our own pineapples at home. Definitely a must go to tour if you are on Maui.

Maui Gold Pineapple Express Tour 10/21/14

Reviewed by: Ramona Marcelo, 2014/10/29

The Maui Gold Pineapple Express tour was amazing. My husband and I went there and had a great time. We enjoyed the tour very much, especially the part where we were brought to the processing plant. It was very fascinating to see the quality control, packing, and shipping from start to finish. We took a lot of pictures of the exciting tour of the pineapple fields too. It was eye-opening to see the process for how pineapples are grown, especially since my family is so used to picking them up from the supermarket. It was also different eating them fresh from the field--an experience I'd recommend to just about everyone. We really enjoyed being given pineapples to bring home to California as well, one of my favorite souvenirs from my trip. We ended up sharing it with the whole family and some friends, and it was definitely the juiciest and sweetest pineapple we've ever had.

Pineapple heaven

Reviewed by: matt m, 2014/10/23

My wife and I were delighted to find out that there was indeed a pineapple plant with a tour on maui. We signed up and had no issues finding where we needed to go (a short drive from the airport pretty much). Our tour guide lined us out on a few items we needed to sign and we were off. We started off going right to the plant where we learned a ton of stuff about pineapples (did you know that the fruit is actually native to Brazil?). Really neat to see the whole process from picking to packing. They even give you two free packed pineapples ready to go through the airport! After the plant you go out to the fields to see the different stages of pineapple growth. You'll even get to sample some of the freshest possible pineapple you'll ever eat. Really awesome experience. Highly highly recommended.

Daytime Haleakala National Park Sightseeing Tour, Iao Valley & Makawao Town

An Enjoyable Adventure.....

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/06/20

We first headed to Haleakala. There was a pleasant stop along the way for drinks and snacks. The views were spectacular and there was ample time to see the sites without being rushed. Judy, our tour director and driver, offered interesting facts and other information but appeared to be very bored and tired of the tour routine. She repeated the blurb about taking nothing but pictures about a gazillion times. Maybe it was just an off day for her. We headed to a very nice town for lunch. This was a pricey place, but the food was excellent and the service good. After lunch we headed to Iao and the rainforest inside. It was beautiful and once again we had ample time to see the sights without being rushed. At Iao we were switched to a different van that met us there and headed back home. All in all, a very pleasant day!
