    Fishing
    Robert G.

    Alex and mike were great very knowledgeable and skilled boat and fishing guides! We brought our nieces who were 8/10 and they had a blast for first fishing trip ever! Would recommend to any anglers looking for some fishing in Maui!

    Seth B.

    100% recommend. Alex and Mike were excellent, both with my children (boys 8/6/3), and with finding the right spots. They were also super knowledgeable about the wildlife and a lot of history of the island. We saw no less than 100 humpbacks on the way to and from the fishing grounds as well, which made the trip that much more special. We couldn't have had a better time. Thank you for a wonderful trip and can't wait to come back and go out again. Cheers!

    This is a very personal and friendly fishing charter, from Munro booking and explaining the way they operate on the phone to the day of fishing it was first class. Captain Matt and deck hand Dana made everyone feel at home even though we had a few first timers on the ocean it went great. They hooked up a nice tuna on the way out to the bottom fishing and we pulled her in and had some fun taking pictures while getting to the spots. It was a tough day on the water as the fish weren't biting, everyone knows it's called fishing not catching so we were ok with it. One of the newbies dragged in a nice pink snapper and my son got a blue stripe snapper, all I was good for was a little leather jacket but oh well. Dana filleted the catch and that evening we dined like kings and queens with a nice bottle or two of Maui's finest vino. Seared tuna on the bbq and pan fried snapper in garlic and butter with some other local delicacies. Thanks Maui fun you've got a customer for life here.

    Our catch!

    My family and I had such a blast today. Monroe and Mike are awesome guys! All the directions were explained well, and they taught us all the Hawaiian names of the fish we caught. 10 of us went out, and everyone caught at least 2 or more fish. The weather was beautiful. The wind did pick up later in the morning, but it did not effect us or the fishing. Mike was able to fillet and clean our fish for us. We made some of the best fish tacos that I've ever had! I can't wait to come back and fish again!

    This was the highlight of our family's trip to Maui. All of us -- kid and adult alike -- caught fish after fish after fish. Captain Kelly navigated us precisely to a series of his favorite spots, using a combination of charts, GPS, and sonar to guide us to the exact spot from which to drift over the school of targeted fish. We caught almost a dozen blue line snapper, about a half dozen pink snapper, two trigger fish, and a hogfish. Trolling back into harbor, we also caught a wavy back tuna. This is definitely the way to fish in Hawaii -- or for that matter, anywhere. The weather is warm, even out on the water. The boat is spacious, comfortable, and immaculate. The crew (Kelly and Alex) are hospitable, helpful, and extremely knowledgable -- about about the local waters and fish, about Hawaii, and about relevant scientific principles. (My kids loved learning about meteorology and the on-board technology.). And the fish are out-of-this world delicious to eat.

    Had a great charter a couple of days ago with my brother in law and our two sons. Alex and Michael were awesome! They were friendly, knowledgeable and down to Earth guys. The boat was clean and comfortable and the gear was top notch. We caught a bunch of fish and several varieties. Definitely recommend this outfit for your next fishing adventure.

    Adam and Alex were superb! We had the best experience and caught a lot of fish including 3 large yellowtails.

    Sandy K.

    Party of 6 bottom fishing on the Pamela. Alex and Taylor were excellent drivers and guides. Was a beautiful day and ended up catching a bunch of fish also! Mahi mahi, tuna, blue line snapper, almaco jack, and a rainbow runner. Caught a shark and safely returned it to the water along with some other smaller fish. Very professional and respectful crew.

    Corrie C.

    Alex and Mike were fantastic! They we're extremely knowledgeable and fun to be on the boat with! We had an excellent day, water was calm. Caught a Iron Jaw Snapper, Hawaiian Hog Fish, Fluggers Goat fish and few more I cannot remember. When we come back, we hope to have these two guys guide us! Walked away with some filet fish that they cleaned and ate it for lunch like an hour later! Thank you for a day we will never forget !

    Caught this little nasty looking fish.
    A C.

    Booked a charter with these guys for myself and my daughter had a good time on our first deep-sea fishing experience. We didn't catch any big tuna butwe had a good time catching these tasty guys. Amanda and I believe the captains name was Jason, they were very friendly and knowledgeable about the fish we were catching. When the fish weren't biting in one area we real them up and move to the next area to maximize our fishing experience. It totally made sense to me, why waste time in an area where there's no fish.

    Blue line snapper and a lucky dragon fish!
    Carly T.

    Awesome Day! Captain Kelly and Mike were super fun right from the start. The boat Marjorie Ann was beautiful and had a very nice amount of shade. We caught our limit of blue line snapper right away. We also caught a Dragon fish and a Sandbar shark! Thank you for a perfect fishing and catching experience

    Great catch on a travail
    Tyler E.

    Absolutely amazing experience, the crew was very fun and enjoyable giving helpful tips the whole way through. Now, time for the fishing! It was action packed the whole way. When we weren't catching the big ones we went for the more fun smaller blue line snapper. We caught 3 nice sized beautiful travail in total and many many snapper along the way. I was lucky enough to reel in a gorgeous skipjack at the end! The boat was nice and comfortable with space for the food and drinks we brought along. Overall the trip was unforgettable we caught a lot of fish. Having the boat to our group privately was amazing. Mike helped with fishing and Monroe guided us to the honey holes. They were a great funny and helpful team. I would definitely come back!!

    An unforgettable adventure that even a broken toe couldn't ruin!…read more I arrived in Maui completely running on fumes after working two weeks straight as a nurse with zero days off, plus my usual spin classes 5 times a week. I was exhausted but determined. During the excursion, I actually ended up breaking my toe! I chose not to mention it to Henry because I didn't want to slow down the day, which meant I quietly missed out on the option to dive off the waterfalls--but it didn't stop me from having the time of my life. The beauty of booking with Rent A Maui Boy is how naturally the tour caters to all levels of energy and physical capabilities. Even with me resting my foot on the sidelines at times and my husband choosing to sit a few of the other physical activities out, we never felt like we missed a thing. Henry made sure my husband was thoroughly entertained, safe, and comfortable the entire time, while I got the exact restful, scenic recovery I desperately needed from my brutal work stretch. We spent a magical day soaking in the culture and eating fresh treats at local fruit stands. Lunch at a local food truck. Forget your cell phone. Do not need it. Supporting an owner-operated business like Henry's makes all the difference--he provides a flawless, memorable day no matter what includes a memorable video for this amazing day. Highly recommend

Henry…read moreescorted through the Full Day of Road to Hana and helped create memories that will live forever. This trip was specifically for my son who is wheelchair bound and he made sure that everything we did revolved around my son having the time of this life. We learned lots about the area, laughed till we cried and felt like we met our new best friend on Maui. I really wanted to be present with my group so the fact that Henry captured photos and took videos of the day was the main reason I chose him. We received both within a couple days and have shared the video and photos to everyone in our lives. To say this was a magical, amazing experience doesn't sum it up enough but if you are reading this, don't hesitate, BOOK WITH HIM NOW!

It's not strenuous and you're taken back to some private land that you'd not have access to if you just drove up and parked (if you found a parking spot) and hiked back in.

We…read morewere picked up promptly at our resort and our Driver/ Tour guide Tom was personable, fun and extremely knowledgeable about the islands history and the people of Maui. Food and drink were provided which was better than expected and plenty of it, along with plenty of bathroom breaks. The van was comfortable and limited to 8 guests and we had a good group. We were so glad we didn't drive it ourselves because Tom showed us sooooooo many things we would have driven right by. If you're not sure about taking the tour or driving yourself...do yourself a favor and take the tour and enjoy the Road to Hana!!!

    In response to the owners lies - (Original reviews in…read morephotos. Yelp said I reached my character limit capacity. Added more photos for our proof). There was no one else on the tour except one couple, whom we had no issues with. The 7 people on the bus was my family of 5 and one couple. 1. There was a hiccup in your booking system, you allowed us to book a tour because you did not close your online reservation window. If you were sold out why did the website allow us to make a reservation? Hence the "hiccup". After we booked the tour, we did move a flight around so this person could make the tour that we had a confirmation email for. Very unprofessional to email the next morning saying you were sold out AFTER we made the booking. Yes we did book late but if you were sold out you shouldn't have allowed us to make the booking plain and simple. We called multiple times because we were asking about pick up arrangements and were told to keep calling back to see when/if the tour filled up, because only then would they be able to tell us what pick up rotation we would be in. I wanted to know what hotel would be the first pick up, etc. I didn't care that our two parties were not on the same bus, which was why I didn't mention it in the booking. 2. Since you claim to have the proof that he wasnt speeding, why dont you show it? It absolutely does corroborate with the Google maps picture. I did move the camera to get a video of how bumpy the bus was DUE TO HOW FAST THE DRIVER WAS SPEEDING! But I'll include another video straight ahead where you can see how fast he flies past the mountain. As for your lies, you need to come up with better ones. I asked for a Spanish translator due to the fact only ONE person in our party spoke Spanish. The fact that you guys said we were speaking Spanish all day is hilarious because NO ONE IN OUR PARTY SPEAKS SPANISH except my mother in law, who didn't speak the whole trip. Let's add more proof that you guys are racist - when the driver picked us up II asked about the Spanish ear piece translator before my mother in law was there. The driver said no, he said I speak a little Spanish so I will do my best to speak to help you guys out. 5 minutes later he came up to my husband and started speaking Spanish. My husband told the driver he speaks ENGLISH. Louie said oh you were quiet miguel so i figured you were the spanish speaker. we were asking about translation for my mother in law. I'll also add he made multiple claims about how Latinas were "so violent" and people had to watch out for us. let's add to the review that not only are you guys liars, you are racist liars. Your tour driver is a liar, we were all sleeping on the drive back due to how sick/tired we were. Your tour driver is clearly lying to cover his mistakes. 3. We didn't ask the tour driver for ONE illegal thing AT ALL. Due to the fact he was an arrested convict (which you can find proof of by googling it) he made illegal stops on his own! He even mentioned how the rangers loved him and when HE chose to make the illegal stop in front of the waterfalls, the ranger allowed it bc they told him make it quick. We appreciate the opportunity but never asked him for one illegal stop. 4. I never said we missed anything, I said I couldn't help but wonder if we missed something. Since you want to be so detailed, we actually DID miss Ohe'o Gulch / Seven Sacred Pools (D) Charles Lindbergh's Grave / Palapala Hoomau Church Kipahulu scenic ocean views, St. Joseph Church Kaupo Ranchlands / Haleakala backside views / Maui's Last Lava Flows (D) Maui's Upcountry / Kula (S) 6. The entire tour WAS my family. Let me also add one thing I forgot to the review someone in your company gave our tour guide my number and he texted me twice asking me for his tip which was EXTREMELY unprofessional. This is an extreme safety violation. He unprofessionally texted me "This ***** Just making sure I did venmo right.. If sent tip, I have not recieved..." at 7:27pm. And "If you could let me know.." at 7:56pm. For my safety, I should NEVER have received text asking about a TIP! Even if he was wondering about the tip because he wasn't used to electronics, you still should never text someones personal cell phone number. Since he did mention multiple times that he was a liability I was scared he was going to show up to our hotel since he knew my number, hotel location, etc. Where is the response to the bulk of my review??? Do you have an explanation for how we know all this information about him being fired from his last tour job? How the current owner was only allowing him to drive as a fill in driver as a favor? Why was he a liability? Bc he speeds and risks the lives of passengers? In one of my videos I do have him talking about the story of how his dad gave him money and guns to illegally transport. As I have over 500 videos from this tour, you guys are lucky I don't want to go through and find the hard proof I have. Where is your hard proof?

    Maui Stargazing - This is the telescope... The "main event"

I also want to apologize for revising this review twice; my first attempt was rushed and full of misspellings, and the second was a quick fix of those errors. However, after being home and having the time to relax and reflect, I realized there were details gnawing at my soul that I needed to share. While I could have justified the $250 price tag if the experience had met my expectations of what was included, I simply cannot justify it for the experience we actually had. I am left with a soured, bitter aftertaste in my heart for an experience that I wanted with my family. It is hard for me to give a five-star rating just because someone "tried"; I believe a top-tier rating must be earned through the experience one had, and Jan lacked in presentation, friendliness, and overall value. For our party of four, we paid $1,000, and in hindsight, we could have had a significantly better experience by using our own rental car and buying a high-quality telescope for half the cost. Don't get me wrong, the views were amazing, but Jan expected the National Park (which she did not create) to carry the entire value of the tour. There was no historical context shared about the land; she simply relied on the scenery to do the work. The lack of consideration for her guests was most apparent in how she rushed us. Both of my parents have medical limitations--my mother is a brain surgery survivor and my stepfather was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. Both were medically cleared by their doctors for this visit, so while their conditions were not life-threatening, they naturally move at a slower pace, or what some would refer to as "Hawaii time." At the stop at the top of the mountain, Jan initially told us we would have an hour to look around, then suddenly changed it to 15 minutes. This was incredibly insensitive; 15 minutes is a rush for someone physically fit, let alone for people managing mobility issues. The actual stargazing was equally frustrating and felt hypocritical. Jan would complain if someone accidentally turned on a phone screen, claiming it affected her dilated pupils, yet she had no problem using a high-powered laser pointer against rocks instead of the sky, refracting the light directly into our eyes. Furthermore, none of us got long at the telescope because she insisted on refocusing it after every two people, all while a personal friend of hers joined for free and took up our paid telescope time. To put the lack of value in perspective, we recently paid $165 for a snorkeling tour on a catamaran that included a crew of five, two full meals, and equipment. Here, we had to bring our own snacks and water, and Jan even requested to use our personal National Park passes to get the group through the gate. Between the conspiracy theories playing loudly on the radio, her robotic and demanding attitude, and the underwhelming equipment, we felt massively overcharged. You can find better value elsewhere or by driving yourself at your own pace.

From start to finish, everything was well organized and comfortable. We traveled in a tall Mercedes Sprinter van, which made the drive much more enjoyable with less motion sickness than expected. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of room to store personal items. Janet provided warm jackets and pants, which were greatly appreciated since temperatures at the summit can drop into the 60s and feel much cooler with the wind. She really thought of everything. We toured the summit area of Haleakalā, enjoyed snacks and dinner while watching a spectacular sunset, and then transitioned into an incredible night of stargazing. The telescope views were stunning--far more detailed than I expected. We were able to see so much, and the images through the telescope were truly unforgettable. Janet is exceptionally knowledgeable and did a fantastic job explaining astronomy, the night sky, and Hawaiian history and culture. She used a laser pointer to guide us through the constellations, making it easy to follow along and understand what we were seeing. No question seemed too small, and her enthusiasm was contagious. Most importantly, the entire experience was fun, respectful, relaxed, and full of good vibes. Janet clearly loves what she does, and it shows. If you're considering a Haleakalā stargazing tour, I highly recommend booking with Janet. It was an incredible experience that we'll remember for years to come. She provides you with a PowerPoint presentation at the end and pictures highlighting the stars! Above and beyond! You can't see the objects you will see without her high powered telescope! It was spectacular !!
