This cruise is just as advertised, a nicely narrated cruise down the southern coast from Kailua-Kona to Capt. Cook's monument. We had amazing visits from the spinner dolphins, had drinks and appetizers on the way out to the cove, and a local guitarist playing for us throughout the trip. The dinner was good, there was plenty to eat for everybody. The sunset was also very beautiful.

We have been to 6-8 different Luaus in Maui, and this one is one of the top two we have seen. Food was excellent, better than all except Marriott's. Service was better than all. The server in our section even went to get our mix drinks (both virgin and regular). Show was great telling the story of the Hawaii Islands, not just a mix of various dance styles. The tables are stair step so even the back tables have a good view of the stage without having to look around other heads.

We had an excellent time here. We were picked up via motorcoach in Waikiki at 10:20 am. Our bus driver was hilarious and kept us entertained the hour we were on the bus. Beautiful drive there. We arrived at the center at 1145 and the center opened at 12. I would highly recommend a tour guide! There was SO much to do and see and I feel we didn't get to see even 1/2 of it all due to the center being so big and the small events starting at different times. The Ohana Hawaiian luau dinner was delicious! Pig, pulled pork, teriyaki chicken breasts, fresh fruit, poke, salads, fish, desserts, and so much more! The show during dinner was great as well. Ha, the breath of life is worth every penny! We got back to Waikiki around 11pm. It was a very full but very fun day!

After looking at other reviews and some deliberation, I decided to go with this tour, and I was extremely satisfied!!
Since the entire tour is in English, it might be tough for those who only speak Japanese. We participated because we were abroad and wanted to experience it. There’s a lot of fun that can be conveyed through the atmosphere, so if you’re okay with not understanding every detail, it’s totally fine!
The bus guide was very good at keeping the energy up, and even when I couldn’t catch everything, I understood the vibe.
Once we arrived, there was a brief explanation of the food and drinks, and then we headed to the venue. The venue was outdoors, and it got a bit chilly as the sun went down, so I was glad I brought a light jacket.
There were optional activities and craft corners in Hawaii, and after a little while, the main event started! There was a whole pig roast performance, but I couldn’t get close enough to see it well. The buffet-style food included Hawaiian dishes and cakes, and it was delicious.
The show featured various performances, including hula and fire dancing, so it was never boring. There were also performances that involved bringing audience members on stage, which made it even more exciting. By the way, we were on our honeymoon, and there was a wonderful surprise during the stage performance that truly made us happy. If you’re on your honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary, I highly recommend it!
Overall, I was very satisfied, so I gave it five stars, but as I mentioned at the beginning, this is only for those who are okay with the entire tour being in English.
他の口コミも見つつ、悩んだ末にこのツアーにしましたが、大満足でした!!
基本的に全編英語の為、日本語じゃないと…という方には辛いかもしれません。私たちは折角海外なので…と参加しました。雰囲気で伝わってくる楽しさもありますし、細部まで分からなくても大丈夫という方なら全然ok!
バスガイドさんの盛り上げ方もとても上手で、聞き取れない時も雰囲気で分かりました。
着いたら簡単なご飯とドリンクの説明があり、会場へ。会場は屋外で、日が暮れると少し肌寒く羽織りを持っていて正解でした。
自由参加のハワイの遊びやクラフトコーナーがあり、少ししてから本編スタート!豚の丸焼きパフォーマンスがありましたが、前の方に行けずあまり見えませんでした。
バイキング形式のご飯ではハワイならではの料理やケーキもあり、美味しかったです。
ショーはフラからファイヤーダンス等色々で、飽きません。観客を舞台に上げてのパフォーマンスもあり、さらに盛り上がりました。
ちなみに私たちはハネムーンでしたが、このステージパフォーマンスで素敵なサプライズがあり、本当に嬉しかったです。ハネムーン、記念日の方は是非!
全体を通して、とても大満足でしたので星5つにしましたが、初めに書いた通り、前提として全編英語でも問題無い方に限ります。

I had reserved standard seats, so I checked in early and waited for the opening at 5:30 PM. As a result, I was guided to standard seats close to the stage.
Looking around, I noticed there were few Japanese people, which made me feel like I was abroad.
The buffet line started with the premium seats, so I had to wait quite a bit. The buffet offered a variety of dishes, including Hawaiian cuisine, and the portions were generous.
The hula dance and fire dance shows were impressive. The engaging female host guided the show, and the Western audience was really into her talk. I realized I need to improve my English skills.
Overall, I had a very satisfying time with the show, the food, and the atmosphere around me.
スタンダート席を予約してましたので、早めに受け付けをして17:30からの開場を待ちました。その結果、舞台に近いスタンダート席に案内されました。
周りを見ても日本人は少なく、海外に来たなと感じました。
ビュッフェの順番はプレミアム席の後にスタンダート席なので、少し(だいぶ)待ちくたびれました。ビュッフェ料理はハワイ料理のほか種類も多く、ボリュームたっぷりでした。
フラダンスとファイアーダンスのショーは迫力がありました。味のある司会者(女性)がショーの進行をされており、そのトークに欧米人はかなりノリノリでした。私は英語力をつけなければと痛感しました。
全体的には、ショー、料理、周りの雰囲気などとても満足した時間を過ごせました。

I decided to change to a premium seat at the last minute because I wanted to see as close as possible. I admit I was at fault for making this plan on the day I arrived, but since the hotel was on the premises and the seats were assigned, I thought it would be fine even if I was a bit late. However, when I got there, there was already a group in front of me, making it very difficult to see. Even though they advertised free drinks, they didn't come to take my order when I called out (they did go to other foreign guests), and I wasn't given a lei either. I regretted changing my seat many times. I also had a bad experience at the Hilton in Oahu, and I think this was the worst. I was really looking forward to it...
できるだけ近くで見たいと思い直前にプレミアシートに変更をしました。現地へ着く日にこの予定を入れたのはこちらにも落ち度があったけどホテルは敷地内だし席は決まっているのだし、遅れても大丈夫だと思い行ってみると、前には既に団体がいてとても見えにくい位置でした。飲み物もフリードリンクといいながら、声をかけてもオーダーを取りに来ないし(他の外人のところへは来る)レイもかけてもらえなかったし、こんなことなら席を変更しなければ良かったと何度も思いました。オアフでもヒルトンではいい思いをしなかったし最低だと思いました。楽しみにしていたのに・・・。

I don't understand Japanese at all, so it's quite difficult if you can't speak English. Even on the bus, while everyone was laughing, I felt a strong sense of alienation. I didn't know how to enter, and before I could call out, they quickly moved on... I was anxious about what would happen. I finally made it to the ticket booth, and a kind person there took me to my seat, and I was saved by a friendly American who happened to be sitting right in front of me. The seat I was shown was right in front! I thought it was amazing, but during the dance, dust from the aisle flew up, and I got covered in it. I think sitting a little further back would be easier to see. The situation up to that point wasn't great, but the show was much, much better than any I had seen before. This is what I wanted to see, and the dinner was plentiful and quite tasty, so I was satisfied.
日本語は全く通じないので英語が話せないと結構大変です。バスの中でも皆が笑ったりしているのに疎外感たっぷりです。入場の仕方もわからず、呼び止める間もなく、さっさと先に行ってしまうし・・・どうなってしまうのかと不安でした。チケット売り場へたどり着き、そこの親切な方が席まで連れて行ってくれたのとたまたま席の前に座っていた親切なアメリカ人の方に救われました。案内された席は真ん前!すごい!と思っていましたが踊りの際に通路のほこりが舞い、しっかりあびてしまいました。席は少し後ろが見やすいと思います。ここまでの状況は良くなかったけど、ショーは今まで見たところよりずっとずっと良かったです。こういうのを見たかったし、ディナーも量がたっぷり、味もなかなか良かったので満足しました。

I must say this is her calling and we will be back. Welcome back Miss Sia, your are truly a blessing to the center. Thank you for the special shout out to my son who celebrated a birthday and graduation, that really topped off our experience Thank you to our awesome guides Russell and Sofy (sorry if spelled wrong).

After arriving on Maui, I felt anxious due to the cloudy weather with occasional rain, but as we got closer to the summit, we were greeted with a stunning starry sky! We were also able to see the sunrise clearly, which swept away my worries! It was a truly wonderful experience!
We stayed at the Maui Seaside Hotel near Kahului Airport, so our pickup was scheduled for 3:10 AM. It was helpful that it was later than in other areas. However, by 3:20 AM, no one had arrived, and I started to feel anxious. I tried calling the hotel front desk, but I couldn't get through. Just then, the pickup bus arrived, and the driver greeted us cheerfully without any sign of concern.
As mentioned in other reviews, the English-speaking guide was very energetic, mixing in jokes and creating a lively atmosphere on the bus. I regretted not understanding more English, but the guide occasionally included some Japanese, which was nice.
By the time we reached the middle of the mountain, we were already above the clouds, and the starry sky was incredibly beautiful. When the bus arrived at the parking lot, we were asked about our breakfast preferences before getting off. Since it was a tour without warm clothing provided, I brought a lot of old clothes to keep warm. I wore a windbreaker, a fleece, two sweaters, an inner layer, two pairs of leggings, pants, gloves, a hat, and a hot pack. You definitely need that much to stay warm.
We walked a little from the parking lot and waited for the sunrise. There were quite a few tourists, and many seemed to be there individually. However, I think it would be difficult for anyone not very experienced to drive on the night roads by themselves.
Needless to say, the sunrise was incredibly beautiful, but I was also impressed by the clouds and sky reflecting the morning light. After enjoying the sunrise, we returned to the bus for a break with warm coffee and pastries. We then moved the vehicle a bit to head to the summit, where we enjoyed the views and looked at high-altitude plants.
When we got back in the car, the guide started talking about the history, but I realized I had fallen fast asleep. When we arrived at the breakfast venue, a golf course, I took off all the winter clothes I had been wearing and was in short sleeves. The temperature difference was shocking.
All the tour guests gathered around a table for breakfast. We could choose from a fruit and yogurt plate, hash browns, pancakes, and more. The golf course was beautifully green and felt very pleasant. We arrived back at the hotel around 11:00 AM.
I was able to make good use of my time, and it was a very good trip!
マウイ島到着後、曇り時々雨が続いた為不安が募りましたが、山頂に近づくにつれ満点の星空!朝日もしっかりと見ることができ、不安を一掃してくれました!非常によい体験でした!
私達はカフルイ空港周辺のマウイシーサイドホテルに宿泊していたので、3:10にピックアップ予定。他の地域より遅めで助かりました。
3:20になっても迎えがこず、不安になりホテルフロントから電話をかけましたが繋がりません。そうこうしているうちにお迎えのバスが到着。悪びれる様子はなく、陽気に迎えてくれます。
他の方の口コミにもありますが、英語ガイドの方がテンション高く、冗談を交えつつ大盛り上がりのバス内。もっと英語がわかればと後悔もしますが、時々日本語も交えて絡んでくれます。
山の中腹過ぎたあたりですでに雲の上なのか、星空が見え、とても綺麗でした。
バスが駐車場に到着したら朝ごはんのリクエストを聞かれ、準備をして車を降ります。
防寒着無しのツアーでしたので、古着を沢山持って行き寒さを凌ぎます。
私は上はウィンドブレーカー、フリース、セーター2枚、インナー、下はレギンス2枚にパンツ、手袋と帽子、ホッカイロを完備。それくらいないと寒いです。
駐車場から少し歩いたところでひたすら日の出を待ちます。かなりの人数の観光客の方がいらっしゃり、個人で来てる方も沢山いるようでした。ただ相当慣れてる方でないと夜道の運転を個人でするのは難しいと思います。
言うまでもなく、朝日がとても綺麗でしたが、朝の光が映る雲や空も本当に綺麗で感激しました。
朝日を堪能後はバスに戻り、暖かいコーヒーとペストリーを頂きブレイク。少し車を移動させ頂上へいき、景色を眺めたり、高地植物をみたり。
車に戻ると歴史についてお話ししてくれるのですが、気がついたら爆睡しておりました。
朝食会場のゴルフ場に着くと、先ほどまで着ていた冬服を全て脱ぎ、半袖で姿に。気温差が激しくびっくりします。
ツアー客全員でテーブルを囲い朝ごはん。
フルーツ・ヨーグルトプレート、ハッシュドポテト、パンケーキなどから選べます。
ゴルフ場は緑が綺麗でとても気持ちよかったです。
ホテルには11;00頃到着。
時間を有効活用でき、とてもよい旅でした!

Good show, good food. Crafts were just OK. Some of the people working there were not really enthused about the whole thing. The food servers and performers were great. You can't use the Paradise Cove credit card at all booth's. Evidently some of the craft vendors are not directly connected to Paradise Cove and do not accept the card. If you just want to drink, then the card is great. The bar takes the card. I was here a few years ago, the show is better now, the food is better and the crafts are worse.

We sat in the Royal Box. There wasn't a picture of it anywhere that I could find, so I am including one. You are sitting at approximately the same height as the stage but about 50-60 feet away from the stage. The show was great and all the people were really nice. The sunset was gorgeous and presents an opportunity for some amazing photos.
