All Reviews for Cruise Ship Shore Excursions

We went to the top of Haleakala with Yoshi, and it was a wonderful experience. We felt safe which was great. I would recommend going with a tour if you're going to go stargazing because the drive down the mountain esp in the dark can be a little daunting....no guardrails between 7,000-10,000 ft, winding roads on side of cliff, with no/very little lights on the sides of the road.
The stars and the sunset were breathtaking!!! We were literally above the clouds. Everything was provided like hot tea, blankets, warm jackets, a telescope and a pair of stand-up binoculars.
Highlight of our trip. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of our tour guide Yoshi - the donuts for everyone, opportunities for photo taking...Thank you Yoshi!!!

Must do in Maui best excursion ever.

I had been curious about the Five Star Dinner Cruise for a while. My husband was hesitant because he gets seasick, but it turned out to be a great decision to go.

From before boarding, we were welcomed with hula and music, which really set the mood. As soon as we boarded, they provided us with motion sickness medication, so my husband said he felt almost no nausea.

The meal included champagne, salad, lobster, steak, and dessert, along with two drinks of our choice. There was also piano music and live singing, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

On Friday, we enjoyed the Hilton fireworks, and there was even a surprise proposal among the guests, making it a very lively cruise. I would love to take this cruise again if I have the chance.

以前から気になっていたファイブスターディナークルーズ、夫が船酔いするので躊躇してましたが、行って正解でした。
乗船前からフラとミュージックで歓迎があり、雰囲気を盛り上げます。
乗船してすぐに酔い止め薬をもらえたので、ほぼ酔わずに良かったと言ってました。
食事はシャンパン、サラダにロブスターにステーキとデザート、他に好きな飲み物2杯チョイスできました。
ピアノ演奏に生歌もありとてもいい雰囲気でした、
金曜日のヒルトン花火もありの、お客様の中でサプライズプロポーズする方がいたりと、とても盛り上がったクルーズでした。
機会があればまた利用したいです。

Everything was perfect, but mostly for entertainment was awesome!

Chief was Funny.
Bus trip was excellent
Cousin Greg was awesome

The venue was awesome, the traditional showcases were great, and it was a sweet cultural journey through islands of Polynesia.

We appreciated the Chief's showmanship and humor as well as the dancers. Food was very good and we were thoroughly entertained.
Only negative is that we bought the package with transportation and it got us there after all the cultural activities were finished. That was disappointing since we could have just Ubered over and skipped the bus ride. Keep in mind that this Luau is quite a ways from the Waikiki area.

The view was amazing. We were so well taken care of... the guide has been doing this for 20 years and HE made the experience. I would recommend this excursion. It was beyond what we expected!

It was an outstanding show, good food, and the hosts were excellent with a good sense of humor. The best Luau we've ever seen.

The sunset was amazing, and we had a great view of the fireworks from Hilton. The light hitting Diamond Head before sunset was incredibly beautiful. It's a bit pricey, but I recommend 5STAR.

サンセット、ヒルトンの花火がよく見えてさいこうでした。
サンセット前にダイアモンドヘッドに光があたり無茶苦茶きれいです。
少し高いですが、5STAR がおすすめです。

Typical luau, gives you everything you want to see and eat! First time is best time.

Really wonderful experience, crew was knowledgeable, and we got to see a cute family with a baby!

Good food, fun games and crafts, the pig roast was a sight to see!

The food was really delicious, and we made some sweet vacation friends at the table we sat at!

Easy way to explore PH, Arizona tickets included took away our hassle to pre-reserve!

The sunset through the clouds was what we were waiting to see on Maui! Was unreal!

Chief makes sure you have a great time on vacation, filling the evening with laughs on top of Hawaiian culture!

Had an excellent experience - pickup from our location on the western side of Maui was easy and extremely convenient. The guide, Yoshi, is very friendly and knowledgeable about the island, and a very courteous travel leader. It's a long ride up the mountain, but there are plenty of spots to acclimate to the changes. It gets cold no matter the time of year, but the provided coat and warm drinks will help considerably! Still, safe to bring more warm gear like a hoodie.

The sunset and stargazing part of the tour are breathtaking. It's a truly one of a kind location and expeeience that I can't recommend enough to anyone curious about it.

The luau was entertaining and informative. The food was good too. Staff did a good job of moving 500 people through the lines. Only two watered down drink tickets. The free choices were only offered at one stand. For 500 people. Not enough.
I enjoyed the pictures on arrival. I think more opportunities for pictures would have been good.

Once again this year, it was a five-star experience. The seats were spacious, and we enjoyed the live performance, the food, the scenery, and above all, the beaming smile of my partner. We had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

昨年に引き続き　今回は5スター　座席もゆったり　ライブ、お料理、景観　そして何よりパートナーの満面の笑み　素敵な時間を過ごさせでいただきました
ありがとうございました

Our entire family (ages 17 to 55) really enjoyed this tour. Yoshi was a great guide and made sure we enjoyed the experience by providing chairs, warm clothing, blankets, and hot drinks. He also took pictures and gave hints on taking great pictures. Haleakalā is a great experience and is truly another world. You go above the clouds at 10K feet, so you don’t need to worry about visibility, and the star gazing is amazing. Unique and great experience!

Our Star Gazing tour with Yoshi was better then we even expected! His knowledge of the star field was appreciated and he fully explained the stops for altitude acclimation and conditions we could expect at the summit. He also stopped to pick up donuts to share before the sunset viewing.
We initially stopped near the fairly crowded observatory area for picture taking, but he then drove us to a more secluded spot where we were able to enjoy the sunset and nighttime views in almost total isolation.
Though we came prepared with hoodies and midweight jackets, gloves and hot coffee, Yoshi had hot water available for making green tea or other beverages, as well as any additional jackets and blankets if needed.
Yoshi set up a high powered binocular stand and a telescope for viewing several star clusters, and luckily we were also able to see the Southern Cross. Perhaps the best feature, though, was lying on our backs and just looking at the star filled sky, which was an almost transcendental experience.
We had previously driven up Mauna Kea years ago, and being able to relax and enjoy the view on the ascent, rather than having to concentrate on the road, especially on the way down after nightfall was well worth the cost.
Avoid the big Hotel tour groups and book with Maui Allstars for a more personalized trip and I am sure you will not regret it. Apologies that night photo did not have appropriate exposure setting to really display the stars.

마우이 할레이칼라는 해돋이로 유명하지만
석양과 별보기가 휠씬 아름답고 놀라워요.
세상 어느곳보다 숨막히는 노을과
하늘에 가득찬 수많은 별들을 보았습니다.
가이드 요시의 편안한 운전과 안내는 정말 값어치 있어요.
이투어 강추합니다

I had a great time visiting the places I saw in the drama. The guide was very considerate of our family, who doesn't speak English well, and spoke slowly while occasionally using Japanese. They were very kind. I want to improve my English skills and participate again.

ドラマでみた場所に行けて楽しかったです。
ガイドさんが英語ができない私たち家族を気遣って、ゆっくり話してくれたりたまに日本語を交えて話してくれました。
とても親切でした。
英語力をつけてまた参加してみたいです。

Enjoyed the cruise and seeing Waikīkī from the sea
The buffet dinner was quite nice
The show was okay but not great.
It wasn’t really a show. It was dancers spread over the one deck. The dancers themselves were good but wasn’t a show. The waiters had to dance but most were not great. Armondo was good.
The lady singing was terrible.
The waiters service was good.
The Mai Tai’s were good.
Everyone was friendly.
If I did cruise again would do the deck 3 menu and show.

Everything was great really had a good time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best birthday present my husband has ever received we would happily do this cruise again and have highly recommended it to all of our friends and family who are still in Hawaii for our Sons wedding.
The experience was fantastic the staff were fantastic at their job. The show was an absolute awesome experience
The food was delicious, my husband was very shocked at the variety and was enjoying it that much he wanted more. Only downside was feeling overly cramped in small seating space, besides that if we ever get back to Hawaii we would book this every day.

This dinner cruise was so much fun. The food was great. The staff was nice, funny, and accommodating to our needs.

After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~

Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.

Once we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh flower lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.

The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.

But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.

10/10 would definitely recommend!

There were six of us for the Deluxe 3-Star selection. My daughter-in-law got motion sick from the swaying of the boat, so I suggest taking Dramamine before boarding.

The "champagne" toast was non-alcoholic. Food was ok but not worth the price to upgrade. Drinks were not very good. Music during the cruise was too loud and mostly show-tunes, not Hawaiian songs.

Michael - our server - was quite good. Dancers and singers were enthusiastic. Views were lovely.

I highly recommend it, five stars. The grand piano performance and the talented female singer were wonderful. Although it was labeled as jazz, I recognized many famous songs. The drinks and food were served properly, and during the sunset and fireworks, we stepped outside to enjoy the view while eating. I really enjoyed the piano and singing until the end, and I'm glad I chose the course meal. Everyone was dressed casually; there were even people in sandals and shorts. About 80% of the guests were Westerners.

５スターおすすめです。グランドピアノの演奏と上手な女性シンガー。ジャズと書いてましたが私もわかる有名な曲ばかりでした。飲み物も料理もきちんと運ばれたし、サンセットと花火の時は食べてる途中で外に出てゆっくりと見てました。最後までピアノと歌で楽しめたしコース料理にして本当に良かったです。服装はみんなカジュアルでしたよ。サンダルと短パンの人もいました。８割が欧米人でした。
