Demian really came through for us in a pinch. We didn't realize Spring Break was occurring, but he was able to get us set up with Zach and we had a blast. As a head's up for anyone wondering about visiting Hawaii during Covid, do your research. The landscape is changing all the time. At the time of our trip, the state is still not at full capacity. Also, if anyone is wondering how to interisland travel. There is a 72 hour window. In order to visit Maui, we got tested Thursday at Walgreen's in our home state, had results in 2 hours, and registered for 2 trips on Hawaii's Safe Travels site. We flew into Honolulu on Friday, flew into Maui on Saturday for a day trip, then returned to Honolulu for the rest of our vacation. The Safe Travels line moved faster in Honolulu than coming into Maui. Zach was able to pick up at the airport in the morning, cater a day tour to what we were interested in seeing, and got us back to the airport with enough time to make it back with no issues. I encourage you to take the time to give these guys a try. I reached out to another company, and they gave me bad info about Safe Travels, and I'm glad I didn't listen to them.

Lahaina was once the capital of Hawai’i, and a bustling harbor town that saw upwards of 400 whaling ships per day. It is now a favorite Maui destination for its wonderful beaches–great for surfing and snorkeling–and its lively downtown area littered with boutique shops, restaurants, and museums. Since Lahaina is on the dry side of the island, we’ll visit some more exotic locations along the way, including a sacred burial ground and a heritage park tucked high in the West Maui Mountains, lush botanical gardens, and a beautiful plantation property. Your day will be complete with the best of Maui, including beaches, mountains, gardens, dining, shopping, and numerous photo opps!

Inclusions: Entrance fees for Iao valley state park and Maui Tropical Plantation are included.

We found out about the Hula Hula Hooper by accident through another cruise ship guest..and it was a blessing!! We weren't interested in any of the expensive excursions offered by the cruise line and were looking for a way to get to a beach. This was our answer! We called with questions and they were answered by an actual person (Rafael??) who was very helpful and were able to pre-book tickets online. Tickets were very reasonable. We spent the afternoon at Kanaha Beach Park...they even had beach chairs for us to use! Hopping back on was very easy and they were right on schedule. On the way back to the ship, our driver, Adam, was friendly, funny, and helpful and gave us great information about the area and tips for future visits. Next time, we definitely would take this route again and explore the other routes offered as well! They were also very aware of our cruise ship schedule and made sure were back in plenty of time to board. We would highly recommend the Hula Hula Hooper!!!

We had an excellent time with the crew. Very friendly and we had lots of fun. Our first time horse back riding, so they gave me a horse named Red. Excellent horse for novice riders, kept his own pace..nice and slow. The trip lasted almost 3 hrs with the crew taking lots of photos using your cameras. Book the trip, you won’t be disappointed!

This is a good and inexpensive way to do the Haleakala sunset tour with audio narrative of things to see along the way to the mountain top. Good value for the price. A quick tip: this app burns through your phone battery fast so having a car phone cable is a must or else your phone battery will run out of juice pretty quick...

This is a good way to see the Road to Hana, you can just sit back and enjoy the beautiful views. It is about 11 hours but well worth it. The rain forrest is impressive. The only reason I didn't give it "Excellent," is that I was a little disappointed in the professionalism of the driver. Too much talk that wasn't about the tour, singing to some music I didn't care for, a little crude.

We took the afternoon Snorkel tour to coral gardens and had the time of our lives. Captain Jason is by far the best we've ever had! We were up close and personal with a dozen humpback whales. He and the whole crew were lively and so much fun. Definitely won't book any other cruise but this one on Maui again.
