Beautiful sunrise. Very cool but they provide you with a fleece poncho that helps. Knowledgeable guides. Also let you nap on the way since it’s an early early morning.
Everett and Abe were great as guides. They kept us awake all the way up and back or most of us. When they say dress in layers do it! The opportunity to watch the sun rise is a great way to take in Maui. You really don't get many opportunities like this in life. Take the opportunity and Valley Isle does a great job. Thank you, Michael
We took this tour while at port on The Pride Of American. It was great because the pick up and drop off was at the Port, so no Ubers or taxis. Abe was our tour guide, he kindly dispensed ginger chews to prevent potential car sickness from the winding roads leading to the summit. Once there, the tour company provides each person a fleece lined poncho to wear to protect from the wind and cold. ( It was pretty darn cold!) As the sun rose up, the locals chanted a greeting to the sun, which was amazing. Abe did an great job filling the time with history and knowledge of his island. We had several bathroom breaks. Breakfast at the plantation restaurant was extremely generous. We all had the macadamia nut pancakes, and we loved them.
Gets very cold but Jeff gave us fleece blankets which helped a lot. He was also very informative and yet allowed us to sleep on the way there.
it was a very early start and the guides made it interesting. They were funny and knowledgeable about everything and everyone. It rained that morning so we unfortunately did not get a sunrise opportunity. However, they wrapped us up like burritos to make it much less miserable to be out in that rain. My appreciation to whoever thought of that!!!!. Breakfast afterwards was delicious. Would definitely do it again.
Brad and Hawaiian David were wonderful even if the weather was terrible!No sun in sight 😩.Breakfast was very good.I imagine it beautiful up there with favorable weather conditions.
Mahalo for your kind words regarding your sunrise tour! We are so glad that your guides were able to make the morning wonderful for you, even though the weather was terrible and kept the sun hidden. It is great to hear that you still enjoyed the very good breakfast, and we truly hope you get the chance to return someday to see that beautiful view under more favorable conditions!
It was very windy and cold at the top of the mountain but, we were given fleece lined ponchos that saved the day. The views were incredible and the breakfast was at a farm and was a great addition to the day
Had a great excursion. Really appreciated the insulated hooded parkas. Or drive and guide, Abe was terrific. Meal at the plantation was delicious. Would recommend to anyone. Communication about pickup point was handled in a professional manner.
Mahalo for sharing this wonderful review of your Sunrise Excursion! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience and especially appreciated the provided insulated hooded parkas to keep you warm—they are a necessity up there! It's fantastic that your driver and guide, Abe, was terrific and that you found the meal at the plantation delicious. We pride ourselves on clear and professional communication, and we appreciate you recommending Valley Isle Excursions to anyone!
Best views ever! Worth the early departure. The breakfast was so good! Billy and Alex made it fun!!!
Excellent excursion! What a spectacular display of Mother Nature! The tour operators are very informative and very helpful. The breakfast with the excursion was in a beautiful plantation, breakfast was very good and the tour operators got it to a very efficient manner for us to be seated and served. In summary excellent excursion and Viator knows how to do it.
