This made my time on Maui absolutely unforgettable. From the minute we were picked up at the…read moreairport to the minute we were dropped off, I was happy, comfortable, and excited about van life. We got the light blue van with automatic transmission (road to Hana with a manual trans-no thanks!) and Noelle went through the van's features thoroughly before giving us a map of the island and circling all the camping spots available to us and our van baby. After giving us our camping chairs and wishing us a great time, we were off! We drove the road to Hana with no issues, camped in the rain, camped in the wind, by the beach, under streetlights and in the middle of nowhere. This van trip was so much more than accommodations and transportation; it was a literal and figurative vehicle for the kind of life I want to live. Staying in a hotel on a tropical island is nice; you can sleep in AC, lounge by the pool. shower and change in privacy, eat 5 star food and never ever feel out of your element. Staying in a camper van is awesome; you can sleep under the stars next to the ocean, lounge on a remote beach and then nap there, cook inventive, delicious meals with your camping partner, enjoy their company, and be bored enough to do things you wouldn't normally do (talk story for hours, play cards, snuggle up and watch the sun set for an afternoon). It was pretty incredible to actually spend multiple days worth of quality time with my husband, not just occupy the same space while looking at separate screens. You meet so many people who love "your" van, who want to tell you all about the van they used to have, and who embody the elusive aloha spirit that makes human interaction worthwhile and meaningful. We made several friends who dined with us on my glamorous one burner concoctions, or who entertained us with their stories from so many various walks of life over beers shared in camp chairs around the van's "living room". The van isn't perfect- it's 30 years old, and obviously is not a rolling Hilton. If you're creative, adventurous, and willing to see the bright side of any situation, you will LOVE Aloha Campers. Sure, we had to pull over a few times so Bluebell could cool down, and the E-brake light stayed on the entire trip. The back door flew open once in transit, and one morning I woke up with wet toes after some heavy sideways rain. The fridge never worked, and the cooler only kept our beer cold for three days. But those experiences just didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. We lived in a VW van, courtesy of Aloha Campers, on freaking Maui. Plain and simple. We cannot wait until we have a van of our own, and it was all because of this trip. MAHALO NUI LOA!!!!

My wife, four-year-old son and I rented a ~'90 Westfalia from Aloha Campers this past spring (2017)…read morefrom Aloha Outdoors. The "are you chill" questions on registration are relevant, and pleasantly reciprocal. In detail... As is made super clear up front, we were renting a vintage Westy for some camping around Maui. Warts and all. If folks aren't reading the bold print while making their reservation, then they are in a world of grumpy disappointment. After a somewhat last moment pickup reservation on our part, we were met by a nice lady who drove the three of us to Aloha Outdoors in Kihei. She not only checked us out on the van, but also ensured we were set with camping paraphernalia (chairs, etc), gave us a solid understanding of island options available and not available to us. We had already booked ourselves at Waianapanapa and Camp Olowalu, but were thankful for the miscellaneous detail. Our Westy was on the worn side of their fleet. The ice box was out of order, we were using the backup range by the first morning, little blemishes here and there, missing little bits like the front chair tables, etc. After 172k miles it is expected. Nothing dramatic. Driving the Westy was a bit more than initially expected. I've been behind the wheel of '72 VW Bus and other '60-'70 model cars, but was initially shocked by the driving characteristics of our Westy. It took 30-60 minutes to get into the safe groovy of driving her. (And once I was back home, I was hitting the brakes on my modern car too hard!). TL;DR: break early, having driving experience with older cars is super beneficial. Regardless of driving stress, it was an amazing trip. We had the black sands beach of Waianapanapa to ourselves at times, we met lots of great people, amazing sights, waterfalls, shave ice, etc. "Do you live Aloha?" Yeah. And Aloha Outdoors does too. On my last full day I backed the Westy into a rock. A bunch of bondo popped off the rear passenger wheel well. *Crap*. Afterwards I called the hotline to explain myself. The gentlemen was not pleased and said someone needed to inspect it when the VW was returned the next day. The next day the intake crew was unpulsed, photographed the damage to the owner, and ... I never heard back. Aloha goes both ways, and I appreciate that with these folks. My son still talks about this trip. "Makapipi" is his favorite new word. WE still talk about this trip. Highly recommended, get a Westy while you can.

Had to leave a review because this was honestly one of those rare experiences where someone just…read morecares. We stopped by Boss Frog's in Napili and ended up working with Victoria, who completely made our Maui experience better. Super friendly from the first minute, but what really stood out was how knowledgeable she was about the island--not just the usual "tourist stuff," but real local insight. She helped us get everything set up for a snorkeling day with our 5-year-old (which is not always easy). Took the time to properly fit all the gear, made sure our kid was comfortable and confident, and explained everything in a way that actually made us feel relaxed about it. No rushing, no pressure--just genuinely trying to make sure we had a great time. What impressed me most was how much she went above and beyond. She helped us organize pretty much the whole day--snorkeling, a submarine trip, even gave us great lunch and shopping recommendations. And this wasn't in a "salesy" way at all. In fact, some of the best tips she gave had nothing to do with buying anything from them. She also did exactly what she said she would--followed up, communicated clearly, and everything was on time and as promised. That kind of reliability is underrated, especially when you're on vacation with a kid. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and wants people to have a great experience. It never felt pushy or transactional, which is honestly rare these days. If you're in Maui, go to the Napili location and hope you get lucky enough to work with Victoria. Total game changer for our trip.

We were in Maui for our super late honeymoon and wanted to go snorkeling. Upon searching on Yelp I came across Snorkel Bob's and loved how close it was to our hotel. Tabitha was so kind and detailed going over everything we would need for the day and recommendations. Not only was she super knowledgeable about the equipment, she gave us a map of all the best places to go snorkeling for the day in the area. She even gave some great restaurant recommendations. We went to one of the beaches she recommended. There was free parking and a cute little picnic area along with bathrooms. The equipment itself worked great. I on the other hand had panic attacks trying to wear the mask and going in the water, so I only saw some fishies. I'm bummed my anxiety kept me from enjoying snorkeling more, but the next time we're out here, and I hopefully grow a pair by then lol, I will ABSOLUTELY be back at Snorkel Bob's. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

She booked tickets for us for the many activities we wanted to do, suggested restaurants perfect for our group, made recommendations as to what to do and where to go based on our interests for the limited time we had on Maui. After everything was set for us, we were sent an itinerary with confirmations, check-in information, driving directions and helpful links which was an easy reference we used throughout our trip. We had a wonderful stress-free trip because of all that she did for us before our trip and she also continued to check in on us during our trip to make sure all was going well. Absolutely amazing! I also recommend purchasing the Road to Hana Guide they offer. It is a very helpful reference and made navigating that adventure much easier.

We spoke with Lenny Verrastro and he ended up selling us on a Snorkeling cruise instead. He raved on about how it was a 4 1/2 hr cruise with two seperate new dive spots that they've only been going to for about 2 weeks and that we would have 1 1/2 hrs at each spot to snorkel. We got there and went out, the crew was great and friendly. After an hour and half boat ride we got to the first spot and we're able to go snorkel. After about an hour and half I went back on the boat to get ready for the next spot. I heard one of the crew announce 20 more minutes and then we will be heading back. I asked about the second spot and the informed me that they dont do two spots, only one. I asked about what I had been sold by Lenny that we would be going to two spots and they said this boat (the Quicksilver) does not do two spots, they never have and that Lenny must have got confused with their other boat the Calipso. This was very dissapointing as I had not taken any pictures at this spot thinking that I would have a chance at the next spot. In order to have pictures, we ended up having to purchase pictures from the photographer on board which was extremely overpriced. When we got back to the landing, I went into the Boss Frogs there and let them know what had happened. They said there was nothing they could do and gave me a number to call. The next day I called Lenny to ask about what happened. I explained that we only went to one spot (which was neither of the 2 he said we would go to) and that when I asked the crew they said that he must have been mistaken because they only go to one spot. He apologized and then proceed to tell me that the crew was wrong and he doesn't know why they would tell me that and they were supposed to go to two spots. After a bit of conversation not getting anywhere, I ended the call and called the number given by the Boss Frogs at the landing. The number was for the boats reservations. I spoke to them and explained again what had happened to which they also explained that the Quicksilver only goes to one spot and their other two boats both make two stops. She said the Lenny must have been confused and there was nothing they could do, I would have to call Lenny back. I didn't feel that I would get anywhere calling him back so I came here to warn everyone to stay away from Boss Frogs for your boat tours and especially do not book anything through Lenny. The boats were great and the crew was awesome, I would recommend them. You can call the boat reservation line directly at 808-661-9937. **Follow Up** Within 2 hours of my yelp review I received a reply on Yelp, an email from Boss Frogs business manager and a call back from Lenny all apologizing for the misinformation and they processed a partial refund.
