We enjoyed the all day view of many areas of the island.
We had a great time! Our guides were amazing and although it was treacherous at times, we felt safe. Beautiful scenery!
Would highly recommend.
We went out after the storm and the sea was calm, the sky was grey. The staff members were professional and friendly and the boat is perfect with different levels for spotting whales. We saw lots of momma and baby whales for this late March and were happy with our trip! Mahalo to all!

The evening began with a warm welcome as guests boarded the catamaran around 5:00–5:15pm, accompanied by live music at the dock. Light snacks were available and an open bar offered a variety of tropical cocktails and local beers, creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The boat was quite full, which led to long lines at the bar and limited snacks at times. The sail departed around 5:30pm and lasted about an hour. Ocean conditions were still a bit rough following recent storms, but we were still able to spot a few whales, which added a special touch to the experience.
After returning to shore, we headed straight to the luau and arrived while dinner and entertainment were already in progress, so we likely missed some of the pre-show activities such as hula lessons and cultural demonstrations. Dinner was described as a buffet, but it was actually set up more like a series of food trucks, kiosks, or booths, where guests visited different stations to receive plated items. While this setup provides a wide variety of options, it can also lead to using multiple plates per person.
The food was catered by Moani Island Bistro, which was flavorful and well-prepared. Seating was first-come, first-served for this event, but even though we were seated in the back, we still had a good view of the stage. The show itself featured engaging storytelling, Polynesian dances, and impressive production elements like lighting and visuals, giving it a polished, theatrical feel.
Overall, the combo offers a unique way to experience both a sunset sail and luau in one evening. However, timing overlaps may cause guests to miss some activities, and those sensitive to motion may find the boat portion challenging.
Take motion sickness pill before the cruise, and arrive early to secure a good spot on the catamaran
Ernie was a treat to have as our tour leader, excellent host! Lunch was super. Overall I feel we had the best tour I could have asked for.
Our family had the best, and most gracious experience on our whale tour! This company truly cares about the species and their environment and it shows. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We can’t wait to come again!
Book now! Don’t wait!
We had a great experience. Joshua communicated well. We needed to make a last minute venue change, due to the weather. Everything worked out perfectly!
Can't wait to take a slow ride down the canals again. Our guides were awesome.
We really had a good time. As the person in the very front, I got pretty wet, but the water was not cold at all. It was awesome seeing Waikiki from a surfer’s perspective.
I loved this zipline experience! I took a friend with me, and we had such an amazing time. The instructors were so funny and down to earth. Amazing views over the waterfall.
I from the Mid-West so seeing a dolphin was never on my bingo card so I thought! This establishment was great and so helpful. The pictures were amazing and I will never forget the experience!
Summer was one of the best tour guides you can have for this great tour. She was so warm and knowledgeable about many things on our tour, as well as a lot of Hawaiian History. Made the long tour going around Oahu wonderful.
This tour is well worth your time and money.
It was so good to go such a tour with a local guide. He was soo friendly and knowledgeable and pleasant. We had a very good time throughout valley , learned about history and culture.
I really appreciate the guide and all people behind .
The road quite steep and the ride is bumpy, be aware!
I was with James as a tour guide on our tour he was very friendly and responsive.
There was another group with the same company and Their guide was Wes. Both guys made everything easy, enjoyable and pleasant all through the tour. The hot coco we had while stargazing was sooo appreciated and nice touch.
Thanks to all.
If there would be Hand warmers it would be useful
This was an awesome tour! Our tour guides were amazing and shared some incredible stories about the ranch, the movies and the island itself.
We loved everything about the this tour. We went in the morning, and the water was almost waist deep but it didn’t bother us. We got to see many fish by snorkeling, did standup paddle boarding, kayaking, and listened to the amazing musicians perform onboard. The crew were very kind, helpful and entertaining. They made it extra fun. My husband and I had a great time and would gladly do it again, only with KBOS. Highly recommend going with this crew.
An amazing and moving experience visiting all 3 locations in Pearl Harbour. The experience was made extra easy and smooth with attention provided by tour guide Marlow.
Don't miss the chance to experience all of Pearl harbour.
Beautiful valley and great guide. The valley is definitely worth a visit. If you are on the big island don’t miss this one out.
This has been our 17th visit to the Old Lāhainā Luau and although it changes from year to year love the experience.
I see many sit on pillows and and find they do not enjoy the show as much as those that sit at table
Very professional and entertaining guide.
Interesting commentary on the way to the top.
Don’t miss it.
My husband and I had a wonderful first trip with this company and first excursion together. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was live music and the atmosphere was great. We would definitely recommend this for anyone else looking for something fun to do while you’re staying in Hawaii.
This was the most fun activity we did our entire week that we visited Maui! We loved seeing the whales, and had the best time snorkeling & seeing all of the fish & turtles! The catamaran was clean & organized well, the staff & captain were amazing! They were invaluable in finding whales & making sure everyone was safe etc! The food & drinks were excellent!! It was very warm, family oriented & welcoming!
Make sure you take your best smiles for the awesome photographer!!
Food was delicious and dancing was amazing. Hostesses so friendly and welcoming
The only disappointment was , they asked if we were celebrating anything and we shared it was the 30tj birthday for our twin daughters (very special) & they only highlighted another older woman’s birthday and disregarded the other birthdays & celebrations. I’d say do all or none!
But overall we were satisfied and had a great time.
Mind blowing tour! Incredible crew: friendly, professional, knowledgeable, well prepared. The experience of a lifetime. Huge manta rays, swimming all around us! Gentle giants. Feeding on the plankton attracted to the lights. I know the crew told us that experiences may vary in numbers of mantas seen, but we were extremely lucky and saw close up mantas almost the entire time!
Take warm clothes for afterwards. Some people took Dramamine (good idea if you get seasick easily)
Our boat captain was terrific, we were able to see two species of whales, many dolphins 3 turtles from the boat and two more snorkeling. Not sure how it could have been any better. Best thing we did in Hawaii
Terrific experience! Derek was a wonderful guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! Gave a preview of events, a timeline, and kept to the schedule.
The tour took us to places we probably wouldn't have gone to on our own. We saw turtles on the beautiful black sand beach, enjoyed a walk around the coffee farm with delicious samples. Spent time at Rainbow Falls. Enjoyed cookies at a local bakery. Plenty of opportunities along the way to pickup meaningful, local souvenirs.
But my favorite stops were in Volcano National Park. The caldera was amazing. No spouting lava but lots of smoking vents. The steam vents were amazing as well. Lunch at the cafe was well organized and tasty. The view from the restaurant was great. Beautiful vistas along the route. What more could you ask for???
Good for everyone, including kids. Plenty of stops along the way. Great overview of many sites.
We had a wonderful time this was 2nd time for my wife and myself. We were at luau last year and we had my wife’s sister join us for Hawaii vacation and brought them. They had a great time food and entertainment great. We will see you again
Thanks Mahalo
