Chase our host was...

Robert_B, Apr 2026

Chase our host was amazing. Not only did we have a great time seeing sights on our way to the summit but we also learned alot about the Hawaiian language and culture along the way. I would highly recommend this tour…just make sure and ask for Chase

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Aloha, we appreciate the great review and acknowledge Chase's awesomeness. He is extremely knowledgeable, truly loves what he does, and really enjoys taking great care of his guests. We do our best to stand out from other tour companies that are very cookie-cutter. We go above and beyond to WOW are guests with the best tour they will ever take while on Maui. We are thrilled you chose AEA to take you on this amazing adventure. It is truly a beautiful place! Mahalo, Laurie

The crater was wonderful,...

sherri_c, Mar 2026

The crater was wonderful, the driver was great. You told us a lot about the crater. A lot about the area and the volcano. The only thing that was disappointing was we had thought that the vodka tasting was included in the cost of this excursion, and it was not. We had been on other distillery tours.And this was really just dinner that we had to purchase on our own.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Aloha, I am glad you enjoyed Haleakala NP. My apologies you misunderstood what you read. We clearly state this is for sunset and dinner at your expense as well as we state if time permits you can join a tasting at your expense. Thank you for choosing AEA to take you on this beautiful and amazing adventure! Mahalo, Laurie
