dissapointing
The cruise started off with a simple but nice breakfast and coffee. The staff is great and very friendly. The boat is also very large and roomy. Things went downhill when halfway to molokini it was announced the wind was to high and we were going to a second location. We got to this location about an hour into the cruise and went out snorkeling. I hate to say it, but it was DISSAPOINTING. We had better snorkeling at the beach outside our hotel. We stayed in this location for several hours, but after about 1 hour we had seen everything. We got back on the boat and they had a great lunch, tons of food. Then we just sat around for 2 hours waiting for all the children on the boat to finish up. On a side note, it seemed like the kids all enjoyed it. Personally, for this amount of money, it would be nice if they mentioned they dont always go to Molokin and offered some kind of rebate. Additionally, they need a better location to go as a backup plan. Obvioulsy our trip was differen

The Sugar Cane Train
fun and great value
This was a lot of fun. If you enjoy trains it is even more fun. Train was not crowded at all. The round trip took about an hour or so. We got to see some great views of the ocean and country side while enjoying a old school steam locomotive ride. The train operator was making announcements over the speaker and explaining different sights which is nice, however, the speakers were terrible and no one could understand anything being said.
All said and done it was a good excursion, probably the best value all week.

Piiholo Ranch Zipline Tours in Makawao [Closed]
pricey but worth it
This was probably one of the most expensive excursions we did. Even more expensive if we opted for the last and longest zipline. The ziplining itself goes very fast and at times does not seem worth the money. The thing that made this excursion worth the money was the staff and the facility. The staff were really enthusiastic and patient. The facility was awesome and each zipline has its own little adventure just getting up to it. Also great views. All in all it is worth the money, although if you are seeking a good thrill and nothing more, you might want to look elsewhere.

enjoyable, nothing more
I almost gave this one a overall 3 rating, but the views and weather were so nice I had to go with 4. There are however a few downsides to this one. First, there were a ton of empty tables, but they still opted to seat couples with other couples in tiny cramped tables forcing everyone to make akward conversation. Personally, I wanted a nice relaxing time with my GF to enjoy the experience, not have to talk to someone we just met. Second, the dinner was just ok. Maybe it is because everywhere else in Maui is so good, this dinner just didnt quite do it for me. The staff were friendly enough, but they work in an assembly line fasion and once you get your food its hard to find them again.
If you are very sociably and want to meet people this might be a better cruise for you. If you want a nice quiet evening with just you and your loved one this might not be the best option.
