Katrina and Dillon were the most amazing guides. I am afraid of heights and they totally made me forget. They went above and beyond to make sure my teenager had a fantastic time too. She was bragging that there was nothing they could do to scare her, so they pretended to drop her cell phone. She did not have her cell phone with her. It was hysterical! !Cannot wait to go back and do it again. Only recommendation is to make the gates electric on the ride up to the zip lines. Team KD all day long!!

We had an awesome time ziplining on 4/10/18 with Daryl and Shane! Zipline tours are always fun, but what really makes a fantastic tour is the quality of the guides, and Shane and Daryl are two of the best anywhere! They made everything lots of fun, told great jokes and stories, and made sure everyone was comfortable and safe.
I highly recommend Skyline Eco Adventures, and especially their West Maui zipline tours!

I visit Maui every year and have been on many different whale watches with many different companies. We discovered Blue Maui last year and had such a great time we went out several times. This year when we returned we immediately signed up for Blue Maui. It was still great so we went out at least 6 times. There were whales every time! The boat is fast and they find the whales, mothers and babies, breaching whales, spy hopping and competition pods. We even saw the spinner Dolphins. The Captains and crew are helpful, fun and knowledgeable. On this small but comfortable boat its an adventure and there is always plenty of room to see everything. They know how to line up the boat for the perfect photos. We met Captains Bailey and Lacey this year and they are awesome. They both really took time to talk to all the passengers. Captain Bailey even gave us some advice on other things to do in Maui. Thanks, Bailey, for the tip on the turtles. It was awesome. Bailey and Lacey really go above and beyond on making your trip awesome.
We also travelled with Captains Kevin, Nick and Patrick. Super fun and very knowledgeable! Patrick was really fun getting everyone set up! He has a lot of great stories. We met Captain Kevin last year and he did a great job as usual this year. Very entertaining and he knows the whales! The whales like to come right up to the boat when Kevin is driving it. We went out with Captain Nick who also does a great job! It was so funny because we had met Captain Nick about 4 years ago in an all day Photography tour on a boat in Alaska. So happy to see Blue Maui picked up another great Captain. Nick and Kevin are very good at what they do and very entertaining. I totally recommend Blue Maui and I don't make many recommendations. You won't find a better Captains and Crew! Oh and Mark, who drives the little boat you load with, is totally awesome at his job. Never got wet once! It was so much fun loading on the little boat to go out to the whale watching boat. Really! Go out with Blue Maui! You will have a great time! Maybe I'll see you next year!

We had a great sail with UFO. I had booked onlune to get a discount and we picked the 1200 ft option, but you don’t really get that high, but it was still fun. We had great crew, who weren’t pushy on their add-on sales. Would definitely sail with them again.

Parasailing is the best way to get High on Maui. You can fly single, Tandem (2 people together), or triple 3 people flying together. We have 2 locations: The first is in downtown Lahaina in Lahaina Harbor at slip #15. The second is on the beach in Kaanapali just a 3 minute walk north of Whalers Village. Look for our Yellow umbrella's and yellow shuttle boat. Watch for our Flying Yellow Smiley Parasail's - if you see a "Yellow Smiley Parasil" - That's us!We have a fleet of Parasail boats and our 2 newest are 12 passengers to be able to carry those larger groups. The whole boat trip takes about an hour and should be the Highlight of your trip!

We checked in and the crew on the beach was efficient and friendly. I was nervous but once we got out on the water and watched a few people go up I was excited. Capt. Jonathan and Darren were awesome. Darren joked around with my fears that put me at ease. I went tandem...had to go all out and chose 1200 ft with my cousin. What amazing views and it was fantastic! They also take photos on a SD card and I highly recommend that, then you can just relax and enjoy the ride/views!!!
7. Wake Maui

Our family of five booked Ryan for two hours. We were having so much fun we stayed an extra hour. Thankfully he was free. First our ten-year-old twins tried wake boarding for the first time. Ryan was great with them and they both got up for short rides after a few tries. Then I tried wake surfing. Ryan's instructions were crystal clear and I got a very long ride on my second try. Then, two at a time we tried rising the inner tube. (It's a flat tube that you hang onto and ride.) All the kids, including our 12-year-old with Down syndrome, had an absolute blast tubing. Next, Ryan took us to a terrific snorkeling spot, Mala Wharf, where we saw lots of fish and several sea turtles. Then, on the way back in, the kids tubes once more.
The day was the highlight of our wonderful trip to Maui. Ryan is such a nice guy -- expert, friendly, helpful, humble. No matter what you want to do -- wake boarding, wake surfing, tubing, snorkeling, or just sightseeing in a boat, I can't think of a better way to do it. Beats those big boats where you are being dragged around with scores of people. Ryan is totally flexible. You can change your plans on the spot.
I agree with the others -- worthy of 10 or 20 stars!!!

I was lucky to come across the booth at the Sheraton. I had a phenomenal beach dive around black rock with Tim. I highly recommend the dive and Tim was great. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw a number of sea turtles, an eel, octopus as well as a lot of beautiful fish.
Tim showed me a great, relaxing, shallow dive.

Our first time here and the Vigil Mass was SRO as we expected! A beautifully maintained Church right in the heart of Lahaina. An island priest once told us that the locals need to see our Faith displayed while we are on vacation as much as we are inspired by the local parishioners. Could not agree more. So far every Mass here has been packed with faithful Catholics. Nice to see!

We took the trolley just once from the Kaanapali Villas to Whaler's Village. It was nice not to have to drive there and worry about parking. Our driver was very friendly and courteous, even to the rude passenger that was also on the trolley. We were impressed with his professionalism.
