Reviews of Maui Eco Tours

brought to you by TripAdvisor and Yelp

We don't pay people to give good reviews!

We recently heard from some folks that had been on "the other guys' tours" that they were offering compensation for writing "glowing reviews."

Everything you see here is unsolicited and real.

We like the good, the bad and everything in between to speak for itself, and we're certain you'll appreciate that too.

I'd give them 6, heck, 11 stars if I could. Here's the skinny. We did two tours during our 2 week stint in Maui. We loved it. Richard was very helpful throughout the booking process. My mother,… Keep reading this review.

Aloha! This is Richard, the owner of Maui Eco Tours. I just wanted to comment on a couple points in this review. 1. Liability Waiver: I'm truly sorry this gave the reviewer pause, however... Keep reading this review.

Maybe not the best choice for a first time kayaker.

We just returned from Maui (July 2010) where we participated in the Discovery Kayaking/Snorkling Tour leaving from Olowalu. This company had been recommended by friends and also has many great reviews... Keep reading this review.

We recently took the Discovery tour to Olowalu (myself, husband and daughters 6 & 9 y.o). After booking the trip a few months in advance, I started getting cold feet as the date approached. None of us... Keep reading this review.

TripAdvisor traveler rating: 3 of 5 stars

We were informed by Richard via phone the day before our scheduled launch that we would not be able to do the Escapade tour due to continuing high winds. We were so disappointed, and considered not... Keep reading this review.

I had the best time with Maui Eco Tours yesterday. I'm only in Maui for few days and I wanted to do something I've never done before. I emailed Richard a few times with questions and got speedy… Keep reading this review.

There are different tours depending on what you want to do. Ours was the "easier" hike to a waterfall tour. Mark picked us and a few other small groups up and we got a nice tour of the entire north… Keep reading this review.
