All Reviews for Cruise Ship Shore Excursions

The Polynesian show was top-notch, the dancers were expressive with the highlight, of the fire knife performance. It was beautifully choreographed!

We used this for our honeymoon trip as a couple. We opted for a plan that included round-trip transportation to the hotel for an additional fee. While it was a bit pricey, the service and experience exceeded our expectations.

The server assigned to us was cheerful and very attentive. We also purchased additional photos, which became great memories.

If you're looking to enjoy the lively atmosphere of Hawaii, this might not be the right fit for you. However, I think watching the sunset while listening to jazz in a calm setting is a unique experience that’s hard to come by.

There were about 10% Japanese guests, and while the menu had some items in Japanese, all orders and communication were in English. The introductions of the musicians and the engaging talks were also all in English, so having some understanding of the language would make it more enjoyable.

夫婦の新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
追加料金でホテルまで往復送迎していただくプランに。
やはり金額的にはいいお値段でしたが、期待以上の対応と内容でした。

担当のサーバーの方は陽気ですごく気が利く方でした。
写真も追加購入し、いい思い出となりました。

ハワイの陽気な雰囲気を楽しみたい方は合わないと思いますが、落ち着いた雰囲気でジャズを聞きながらサンセットを見るのはなかなか出来ない経験だと思います。

日本人は約1割いるかどうか、メニューは日本語も記載ありましたが注文やコミュニケーションは全て英語。
ミュージシャンの紹介や、盛り上げるトークも全て英語なので多少理解出来ると面白いと思います。

"It truly felt like the real Hawaii!" It was the best night ever. The transportation from Waikiki was easy and convenient. Upon arriving at the Hawaii Country Club, we were welcomed by relaxing Hawaiian music, which instantly lifted our spirits. The food was full of local flavors, and everything was delicious, leaving us very satisfied. The hula dance show was incredibly graceful, and I couldn't help but be captivated by it.

「これぞ本場ハワイ！」と思える、最高の夜でした。
ワイキキから送迎付きで移動もラクラク。会場のハワイ・カントリークラブに到着すると、まずはゆったりしたハワイアンミュージックに迎えられ、気分が一気に高まりました。料理はローカル感たっぷりで、どれも美味しくて大満足。フラダンスのショーはとても優雅で、思わず見入ってしまいました。

Yoshi was amazing, he made the entire trip up and down the mountain entertaining just by his talking, facts and nice collection of soothing music. We went with a full bus and still managed to make room for one extra family member, so eight of the back we were grateful for this. The entire sight on the top of the mountaintop was beautiful and alien like but the highlight was the star gazing where Yoshi quickly set up his two telescopes and chairs and blankets for everyone along with the jackets he had already provided us. This coupled with his extensive knowledge of the stars made the entire trip a once in a lifetime experience. I only hope that my soon to be wife and I can take our future children to this tour with Yoshi. I’ll put it to you like this, even if we hadn’t seen any stars I would have been happy just having him drive us up and down the mountain and I had already done it myself, that’s how much I enjoyed his commentary and the ride.

Yoshi was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide with the whole experience being relaxed. We saw some wonderful, once in a lifetime sights. Would definitely recommend this tour.

It was an experience that exceeded my imagination. The sunset and starry sky were very moving. Yamapi's explanations were also easy to understand.

想像の上を行く体験でした。
サンセット　星空とても感動しました。
ヤマピーさんの説明もわかりやすかった

While the day was sad knowing the deaths and hardships faced, it was also a day of learning and exploring, see how the wonderful tributes have been addressed by the powers that be for Pearl Harbour is very honourable for the families and surrounds.
We had a wonderful tour guide Sam who was very knowledgeable, and a very friendly manner, a good addition to our day

Beyond my expectations! Yama-Pee, our guide, was truly exceptional. With abundant knowledge and experience, along with great attention to detail, I had a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience, for which I am grateful. Watching the sunset from the summit of Haleakalā, exploring the impressively large crater, enjoying the magnificent starry sky, and observing Jupiter through a telescope—each of these moments was a treasured memory that will stay in my heart forever.

期待以上の感動！山ピーガイドさん、さすがでした。知識、経験豊富な上、気配りもあって、人生に一度の素晴らしい体験が出来て、感謝です。ハレアカラ山頂からの夕日、度肝をぬかれるサイズのクレーター見学、素晴らしい星空鑑賞、望遠鏡を覗いて木星観察、どれもこれも、一生心に残る宝物の時間でした。

I had a wonderful short experience of the beautiful scenery in Hawaii! The wind picked up and the chairs moved, making it feel like a theme park attraction! Since it didn't take too long, it was just right to fit into my schedule while on the Big Island.

ハワイの素敵な景色をショートに体験できました！
風が出たり椅子が動いたり、テーマパークのアトラクションのようでした！
時間もそんなに長くないので、ハワイ島でのスケジュールの合間にもちょうどよかったです。

Enjoyed the whole experience was very entertaining

The pick up from he hotel was seamless and boarding the cruise ship was quick. Table service was slow but the food was excellent. The sunset and following fireworks was a great experience and I would recommend this adventure

We thoroughly enjoyed our time and this was the best sunset and stargazing tour that my friend and I have participated in. Mr. Yoshi was very friendly from start to finish -- he made sure that we had time to eat food, stay hydrated, and rest well as we climbed in elevation. I was originally worried I wouldn't get to get my stamp for my national park passport because of the visitor center closure, but Mr. Yoshi asked the entrance park employee for a stamp on a post-it note, and it made my day! He knew the best places for sunset, and was very knowledgeable about all the stars. We learned so much about the sky, and enjoyed peaceful moments just looking up. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone spending time on Maui!

The sunset was also atmospheric, and the performances, music, and food were delicious. You can also see fireworks before returning to port. I recommend it for newlyweds and couples.

サンセットもムードありますし、演奏や音楽、食事も美味しかったです。帰港前には花火も見られます。新婚さんやカップルにはおすすめです。

Unfortunately, I'm not good at English and can hardly speak or understand it, but my desire to see a powerful luau won out, and I decided to participate! I'm really glad I joined. The spectacular show was breathtaking! The staff were considerate of us, who struggle with English, and even though we were late returning, they kindly called out to us at the nearest bus stop. I was able to feel the Hawaiian atmosphere and culture, and it became a wonderful memory. ^_^

残念ながら英語が苦手で、話すことも聞き取ることもほとんどできないのですが、迫力のあるルアウが観たい気持ちが勝り、参加を決めました！
参加して本当によかったです。
迫力満点のショーは圧巻でした！
スタッフの方が英語が苦手な私たちを気遣ってくれ、帰りは遅くなりましたがバスも最寄りで声を掛けてくれるなど最後まで親切でした。ハワイらしい雰囲気や文化を感じることができ、とても良い思い出になりました^_^

The sunset, the night view of Waikiki, the food, the gathering of people from around the world, the singing and performances, the staff's service—everything was great. Since it was Friday, there were also fireworks. I received a commemorative photo, so I want to share this story with my family while showing them the picture.

夕焼け、ワイキキの夜景、料理、世界の人が集まっている状況、歌と演奏、スタッフのサービス、すべて良かった。金曜日だったので花火もあった。記念写真をいただいたので、家族に見せながらこの話をしたいと思います。

A beautiful night. Great food. Great entertainment. Saw the spectacular fire works and the skyline night lights of Waikiki. Drinks included in the package was a bonus.

This luau far exceeded our expectations!
The entire show is very well put together. The ambiance is incredible. The staff was amazing. We were greeted with hospitality the entire time. The food was delicious.
Not only did we get a great show with all the dancers, fire twirling, and music, we also got the history of the culture and people behind it all.
On top of that, they also threw in humor.
It was highly entertaining!
This show is a must see! It does not disappoint!

I enjoyed the sunset sinking into the clouds and the starry sky. It was a wonderful experience, and I’m very glad I had it. It was also great to see the stars through the telescope.

雲に沈む夕陽と、星空を楽しめました。
素晴らしい経験が出来てとてもよかったです。
望遠鏡で星を見れたのもよかったです。

This cruise beat my expectations. The food was amazing and there was so much that none of us could finish. The outlook and entertainment were fantastic. My kids even got up and danced at the end and my 15 year old daughter told me several times throughout the night how much she enjoyed herself.... a pricey outing that was worth it...

It was a wonderful show that felt very much like Hawaii. I had a lot of fun. The food was also delicious.

ハワイらしい素晴らしいショーでした。
とてもたのしい気持ちになりました。
お料理も美味しかったです。

I had the best stargazing experience of my life. It was a showtime that far exceeded my expectations. I felt the perfect preparation, consideration, and excellent explanations from our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, as well as his deep knowledge of the stars, which made for a wonderful time.

人生最高の星空観賞を経験できました。
想定をはるかに超えるショータイムでした。
ガイドの山内さんの完璧な「準備・気配り・説明の妙・そして星に対する
深い造詣を感じることができ、素晴らしい時間を過ごしました

A great trip. Staff , boat and equipment was excellent. Fun for first time snorkeling

Great time Luau with all the fun, food, and Entertainment you need. The price is a little high, but well worth it for a great evening. Not out of line with other high end complete evenings with food, and entertainment like dinner and shows, or a concert, or a sporting event.

Hot at first with the sun coming down, but the sunset views are phenomenal!

hot on the first hour of the ship. but the rest of the night was fabulous.

I was a little nervous with my mom being 70 need to get into the submarine. They were very accommodating for her. Words cannot describe how amazing it was to be in this submarine. The picture that I posted of my sister and my husband with the most wonderful look, enjoying their selves Beyond words. This is my absolute favorite memory from our big island vacation 2025.

Snorkeling will be on many people’s “must-do” activity in Maui, but so should the Sunset and Stargazing tour in Haleakala with Yoshi! I went with my family and we haven’t stopped talking about how incredible the tour was. Yoshi is incredibly personable and every aspect of the tour is so thoughtful. With 20+ years of living in Maui and leading tours of the national park, Yoshi knows the best spots for sightseeing and has great local knowledge to share on the drive up to Haleakala. His state of the art telescopes allow you to see all kinds of constellations and we even got to see Saturn. The complimentary Krispy Crème donuts were a tasty treat and the music selection was so peaceful. I can’t recommend Yoshi and the tour enough. If you’re wanting to see Haleakala, definitely book with Yoshi. Mahalo!

On my sixth trip to Maui, I finally visited Haleakalā, which I had been curious about for a long time! During the journey, I was told I would regret not coming sooner, and it truly lived up to that expectation with its "star-filled sky" and "natural planetarium."

At the summit, above the clouds, there was nothing to obstruct the stars, and everywhere I looked, there were stars. I was deeply moved by the realization that the light I was seeing had traveled from before I was born.

The constellation explanations were detailed, and I was also taught how to beautifully capture the night sky with my smartphone, allowing me to preserve the breathtaking views both in memory and in photos.

I hope everyone, regardless of age or gender, gets to see that scenery at least once and experience being liberated from the harshness of society. Thank you!

6回目のマウイで、ずっと気になっていたハレアカラ山についに行ってみました！
道中、これまで来なかったことを後悔する、と言われたのですが、まさにその期待を裏切らない「満天の星」「天然のプラネタリウム」でした。
山頂は雲の上なので、星を遮るものは何もなく、どこを見渡しても星。
また、自分が生まれる前の光が今この目に届いているということを実感し、さらに感動しました。
星座の解説も詳しく、スマホで綺麗に星空を撮影する方法も丁寧に教えていただけたため、記憶としても、写真としても絶景を留めることができました。
老若男女問わず、一度はあの景色を見て、殺伐とした社会から解き放たれる経験をしてみて欲しいです。
ありがとうございました！

This was the best tour of my life. You can go by rental car, but there were so many experiences that you can only have on the tour. The tour guide, Yamapi, kindly shared information beyond the tour, so it's better to join early after arriving in Maui. I would love to participate again.

これまでの人生体験で最高のツアーでした。
レンタカーでも行けますが、ツアーでしか体験出来ないことが盛り沢山でした。
ツアーガイドの山ピーさんは、ツアー以外のことも親切に教えてくれるので、マウイ島に到着したら早目に参加した方がお得です。
もう一度、参加したいと思います。

It was such a great experience - thanks to Yoshi. He is such a warm and friendly person who really takes care of making it a marvelous trip. He is a safe driver, knows the best secret spots where you can enjoy a peaceful sunset and he is well equipped with his telescopes for stargazing. It was an enchanting experience all around!
