Paradise Park
Oct 10, 2009 by Gary Bowman from Chattanooga, Tn.
Overall Rating: 10

• Beautiful as always.
• Commercial changes.

“My wife and I also found Paradise Park to be beautiful, and Henri Hawaii restaurant to have great food and Service - 20 years ago. Last year we returned to Hawaii and no longer could find the park listed. I believe it may have closed, this is a shame. We were also disappointed in the changes at Haunama bay. Since people can no longer feed the fish, there simply aren't many around. I understand and agree with some of the changes made to preserve the bay, but add a couple of feedings per day to attract the fish. We try to come back to the islands every 3 to 5 years, and explore new areas.”

• Nothing
• Crooks, terrible snorkeling, crowded boat.

“Pride of Maui is the worst of Maui. Warning terrible experience! For the people who don't like to read the story, I'll sum up. No matter what you signed up for, there is a good chance you won't be going to that location, you will get tricked or lied to, they won't care and won't give you a refund no matter what. Read on if you wanna hear the story. Me and my wife signed up only to go to Molokini. One thing we hadn't done on Maui. We signed up for a day trip to Molokini crater. When we got there we sign up and paid for our trip, I over heard the employees asking if everyone has already paid, they said yes. The employees then announced that they have just come back from the crater 2 hours ago and it is just too windy to go today and we have to go to backup dive site. I told them I really didn't want to go to the other site, we only wanted to go to Molokini. Although I understand the weather is a problem and they can't control that, I would like a refund as that was what I paid for. The group informed us that it was I quote here."Captain's decision at time of sail". But obviously they had made that decision hours ago and just wanted to wait until every single person was signed in?! GREAT service there. Needless to say that I will never use this service again and I will tell all of my friends to stay away too. The back up site was completely pathetic. No fish, very little coral. It was painfully obvious they just decided to take us to a crappy desperate location because they couldn't go to the crater. I am completely serious when I say that snorkeling outside of my hotel was way better. So in summary, just go snorkeling outside of your hotel! you won't get tricked and robbed, you'll save tons of money, and you'll see better stuff!”

• Lots of people but not crowded.
• It was all good.

“I was there in Jan96. You couldn't get me out of the ocean. It was fantastic. So many beautiful fish and corral. A great place to snorkel/dive. I recommend it highly.”

• Hands-on activities.
• Too expensive for kids & could be better.

“Okay for Hawaii, but compared to similar places in other states, not so good.”
