Excursion d'une journée Oahu à Maui : Gorgées, sites et bouchées

Note: departure at Honolulu Daniel K. Inouye International Airport restrooms are downstairs, inside accessible by elevator. One has to get to the airport on your own to Hawaiian Airlines for a.quick flight. I must state that Hawaiian Airlines provided excellent service for the handicap. Once at the airport Polynesia Adventures tour takes over and arranges everything. Once at the Kahulu Airport make your way to the designated stop where you will transfer at Safeway supermarket to your tour bus. Restroom outside at airport.. After a long drive up the mountain of Haleakala National Park to the Haleakala Volcano to see the2.5 mile crater from last eruption of 1790. Bus can only go as far as the visitor's center, a lookout and restroom break. Able body tourist can hike up to the summit. They are building wind turbines there. Cool temperatures and very windy. Twice the wind almost blew my wheelchair over the cliff. Then off to Iao Valley State Park tropical rainforest to hike through the Iao Ethnobotanic Garden. Loved it and its emphasis on Hawaiian crop production ancient farming technics. From there one walks across the bridge but the uphill climb is for able bodied only. View the roaring river. At Makawao our included lunch at Hali'maile General Store restaurant, a former merchandise store now a busy popular restaurant Official entrance upfront has many steps. Handicap entrance is on the parking lot side.Good service, I believe my server was the owner. I ate fish. You have to request salt and pepper. Nonalcoholic drinks included. Afterwards we toured the glassblowing demonstration and art gallery across the street. Loved it. Next door is the Hali'imaile Distillery for a tour and tasting with a small souvenir shoppe. This organic farm makes Pineapple vodka. Afterwards we visited the Maui Tropical Plantation in Wailuku. Love this place. Tropical orchards, fruit and vegetable market, gift shop with restaurant and shop in the back . Beautiful landscaped with electic art works of wood or metal. Restrooms way in the backyard. Wish we spent more time here. Wheelchair accessible. Then homeward bound to your hotel or to Kahulu Airport.

Great experience! I learned about some of the culture and watched a beautiful (and cold) sunrise. We couldn't imagine being cold in Hawaii, and it happened.

All of the stops were great….all of the history was great…seeing the culture and hearing the culture was fabulous…I recommend highly.. Arnold

Mel is wonderful and so funny. Thank you. He has a lot of knowledge about thr island and its history. I would book a tour again.

Our tour guide Salesi was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us a great service. the air-conditioning need to be reset to a confortable temperature. was top cold.

Carley was an excellent guide. She is knowledgeable and attentive to her guests. View of crater was just awesome.

Carly was terrific!!!!! She was a deeply involved with the fires that occurred. In Maui and was a very caring person.

First of all our flight confirmation no was messed up. Polynesian Adventure told us we should check in round trip. But these confirmation number did not work. Mind you they gave us two different confirmation numbers and none gave us our return boarding passes and none worked. We had to look for help. After arriving in Maui the Polynesian representative called us and scolded us for not calling them when we arrived. She was very rude. She treated me like a kid. There were no instructions whatsoever to call them. The tour itself was terrible. Many of the supposed stop we were going to go were abandoned. For example, on the trip to Mokawao town where we were supposed to spend an hour there but instead we just passed thru it. The amount we paid to this tour at $529 person feels like a rip off. The only saving grace was our driver.

Sales tour The Road To Hana was very interesting and informative. Felt very grateful that I took this tour. Thank you Salese

Kanela was a great guide and very knowledgeable. Obviously loves his island and showed us the best of it. Nothing was an effort to engage and create a great experience of Maui. Provided options for continuing experiencing more of Maui. Great tour and value. Thoroughly recommend.
