Hawaii
The location and atmosphere were great, and the show started just as the sunset was ending. Before the show began, we could participate in various experiences and watch demonstrations; the children got to try playing the puili instrument. I observed the process of peeling coconuts and hollowing out the nata de coco part, and I tasted it. It felt similar to Paradise Cove Luau on Oahu, but the food here was definitely more delicious. The kalua pork and beef steak were tastier than I expected. The show featured a lot of traditional hula (kahiko), which I enjoyed. However, I was disappointed that the male dancers did not have the robust physiques typical of Native Hawaiians and that there was no fire dance, which I was looking forward to the most. The total duration of the show was about an hour, which felt a bit short compared to the three-hour time commitment. On the plus side, it allowed for a leisurely meal. Overall, it was a neutral experience.
場所も雰囲気も良く、サンセットが終わりかける頃から始まるショー。
ショーが始まる前には様々な体験をしたりデモンストレーションを見学することができ、子供たちはプイリという楽器の体験をしました。私はココナッツを剥いて?ナタデココの部分をくり抜く作業を見学し、その味見をしました。
オアフ島のパラダイスコーブルアウと似た感じでした。
が、食事は断然こちらの方が美味しかったです。
カルアポークやビーフステーキは思った以上のおいしさでした。
ショーの内容は、古典フラ(カヒコ)が多く、これは私の好みでした。
男性ダンサーの体つきが、ネイティブハワイアンの様な厚みのある肉体で無く、案外華奢だったのとファイアダンスが無かったのが残念でした。これが一番楽しみだったので。
ショーの時間は全て合わせて1時間程度で、所要時間3時間に対して短めかなという印象を受けました。その分ゆっくり食事はできますが。
なので、可もなく不可もなくといった感じでした。
Waited sence I was a kid to go on that tour, my grandmother went on it in 2000 and it was worth the wait got to experience a lot of ocean life. And the people doing the tour were great.
The day was spent in a most enjoyable way.
We started on time and went to first snorkeling spot after about one hour cruise. Since we left at 700 am, (early in the morning) they gave us good breakfast. The water is blue and beautiful. We saw some flying fish while sailing which I got amazed. They have wings(?!), come out of water, fly for about three feet above the surface and go into water. It was amazing to see a fish with wings. They clearly flew and not just jump in and out of water.
The captain gave a 5 min lesson on snorkeling 101. It was full of very helpful tips and this greatly helped to snorkel without fear. The gears were provided. By the end of the day I became an expert. This is an example, how useful the people are to help you whatever you need in the trip.
The snorkeling part was very enjoyable and after about one hour, we were allowed to jump into the ocean from the second level of the cruise ship via a slide. That was so cool.
Next we went to a second place and we got to see lots of turtles. Some turtles came to top of water, so you can see them from the boat. We snorkeled and also jumped into water from the second level of cruise via slide for about one hour. It was fun. Lots of foods, drinks were given. We returned by 200 pm. What a day to spend.
Before boarding, the morning view of Lahaina was very calm and beautiful. After checking in, we moved by boat to board the submarine, but it can sway a lot, so if you're prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. Since I was the only one participating alone, I was prompted to board the submarine from the back, which made me feel quite conscious as I had to peek in from one window with several people. If you join with friends, a partner, or family, I think you can enjoy it together from one window. The dolphins swam around the submarine, and I was very happy because I had hoped to see them. Next time I go to Maui, I will participate with my husband.
Was photography prohibited inside the submarine? I'm not sure if there was an explanation about that beforehand... After taking a few pictures, I noticed many people staring at me, which made me wonder if it was not allowed. If it was indeed prohibited, I apologize and will delete them.
乗船前、朝のラハイナの景色もとても穏やかできれいでした
受付のあと、潜水艦に乗船するまで船で移動しますが、大きく揺れることがあるので、船酔いが心配な方は事前に酔い止めを飲んだほうが良いと思います
1人参加は私だけだったためか、最後尾で潜水艦に乗るよう促されましたが、何人かで1つの窓からのぞき込む感じで、すごく気を遣いました
友達や夫婦、家族で一緒に参加すれば、1つの窓で一緒に楽しめると思います
イルカたちがくるくると潜水艦の周辺を泳いでくれました
イルカに会えたらいいなと思っていたので、とてもうれしかったです
次回マウイに行く時は、主人と一緒に参加します
潜水艦内では写真撮影禁止だったのでしょうか?
事前にそういった説明があったかどうか、分からないのですが・・・
数枚撮影したら、たくさんの人にじろじろ見られたので、あれ?ダメだったのかな?と気になりました
もし撮影禁止だったらすみません、破棄します
Have used pacific whale foundation in past for sunset cruises but decided to try this company for a change. We had steak menu which was delicious apart from the fact that no choice was given on how you prefered the steak cooked. Only first drink served at table other drinks were served at bar. The tables and seats were packed in close and the chairs bolted to floor. It was really difficult to get in and out of chairs to go to bar. Overall staff were pleasant and entertainment ok but if we were to choose a dinner cruise again it would not be on the princess. Sorry guys but I know we were on the ocean but we ain't sardines
Our first visit to Maui...our first ever Luau and we were not disappointed!! The entertainment was excellent and the food was amazing!
Good food, friendly staff, fantastic views and entertaining music.... drinks and dance were an added plus. Last minute booking worked out very well. Book early to ensure a shittle space... We drove and enjoyed quaint town shops before and after cruise... we'd do it again!
We had a great time on this cruise. Everything about it went basically as planned. We went to two different snorkeling spots where we had an hour or a little more to swim around checking out the coral reef and the marine life. In the beginning, they had a little breakfast that included muffins, fruits and different types of juice. After the first snorkeling spot, they made chicken breasts, hot dogs and burgers patties for lunch which were also very good. They didn't have KETCHUP!!! Which was a pretty big bummer, but the food was good and there was plenty of it. They also handed out bags of chips and pretty much everyone was able to get a second bag. The best part about the cruise was the dolphins that we saw. We spent about 20-30 minutes watching a pack of dolphins swim around and with out boat. They got up so close, it was amazing. My nephew and I sat at the front of the boat and actually got yelled at by the captain, but it was definitely worth it because my feet were about 10 feet away from touching the dolphins they were so close. Then at the last snorkeling spot, we got to swim with sea turtles (only noticed one when I was swimming but it did get pretty close), and a 6 foot long shark that was laying underneath the wreckage we were snorkeling above. It was pretty awesome and scary all at the same time. The shark was sleeping (or dead) because it didn't move and there was no danger, but I still didn't want to take my eyes off him! The boat provided the snorkel equipment including the liquid to keep your goggles clear. There is also a slide that goes off the side of the boat which was really fun to go off of! The crew ended the cruise with a free alcoholic beverage for each adult over 21 years old, and it was very tasty and had a lot of alcohol in it! I believe this was well worth the money.
This was a fun boat trip for the family. The captain was knowledgeable and we saw many dolphins. That was probably the highlight of the trip. Due to rougher waters, we snorkeled in some different areas than normal. One was one a reef off of Lanai and the other was over a ship that had been sunk in deeper waters. The reef was Okay, but we saw more fish and more variety of sea life snorkeling off the beaches. The ship was too deep to dive to so pretty much we were just floating above it. The breakfast and lunch was good and there was plenty of food.
Zipline course itself was awesome
Beautiful view!
Guides were friendly
Fantastic! Food was great, service was awesome and the whole experience was terrific. A very traditional Hawaiian Luau.
I researched various blogs in advance, and I highly recommend this for those visiting Lahaina on Maui. The staff's service, the hula dancers, and the food were all satisfying!! Definitely check out Old Lahaina Luau.
事前に色々なブログを参考に決めましたが、マウイ島ラハイナに行かれる方にはオススメです。
スタッフの対応、フラダンサー、食事、全てが満足でした!!是非、オールドラハイナルアウへ。
Came to Maui for my honeymoon and of course had to see a luau. We had originally booked another luau but heard great things about the royal Lahaina so we decided to change it last minute. They were able to seat us in the second row as VIP. The ocean view was breathtaking, the dancing was amazing and the dancers were gorgeous. Unlimited food and drinks made it that much more fun. It rained during the luau but it was definitely an experience my fiancé and I will never forget. Would definitely recommend it to everyone!
The dinner cruise was really fun and relaxing. As soon as you get on you have drinks available and the staff are really nice. The food selection was okay, nothing too spectacular. The drinks were okay as well. We got a Mai tai when we left the port and we also were given 2 more drinks throughout the cruise. It was a beautiful cruise and the sunset was gorgeous.
This was a great way to wind down our vacation trip to Maui. Very relaxing and the crew were great.
Thank you, Cade, for your kind review! We are so glad to hear you enjoy the Dinner Cruise, and hope to see you again.
very informative cruise! saw a lot and the captain stayed out longer due to some very interesting activity with a mother whale and 2 male whales that were creating a lot of activity above the water as well as under.
Fortunately, a Japanese guide welcomed us. We received canned juice and snacks.
Although we mostly saw whales from a distance, we were able to see a few up close. At one point, a whale splashed right next to the boat, which was thrilling.
There were several whale watching companies at Lahaina Harbor. Since it was within walking distance from our hotel, I checked the location of the counter in advance while taking a stroll, so we were able to find it easily on the day of the tour.
Seeing Maui from the sea was also a wonderful memory.
ラッキーなことに日本人ガイドさんが出迎えてくださいました。
缶ジュースとスナックをいただきました。
クジラは遠目が多かったが、何頭か見ることができました。
一度だけ船のすぐ横でしぶきをあげてくれて興奮しました。
ラハイナ港にはホエールウォッチングの会社がいくつもありました。
滞在ホテルから港まで徒歩圏だったので、事前に散歩がてら
カウンターの場所を確認しておいたので、当日は迷わず行けました。
マウイ島を海上から見ることができたのもいい思い出です。
This was a good sunset cruise. The food was decent. I would do it again.
Awesome trip! We saw lots of dolphins!
Lunch was delicious. The captain was very knowledgeable!
It was a great cruise. We both enjoyed the meal and the music was phenomenal. We met another couple we were sitting with and had a great conversation. We definitely recommend this dinner cruise to anyone who visits Maui!!
The Old Lahaina Luau was a wonderful addition to our Maui honeymoon itinerary. The evening encompassed many of the Hawaiian traditions we hoped to experience while visiting. The food was excellent and there were plenty of dishes to choose from. There were also a good amount of drink options. The entertainment was fantastic. There were so many small details that made the evening even more special. We also appreciated the banana bread we were gifted at the end of the night. We had it for a late night snack a couple of nights after the event and it still tasted yummy. The service from the staff was friendly. We parked in the overflow lot which was a convenient location from the luau. We recommend this luau.
Although we did see many whales, nothing was comparable to the impressive photo's shown in add brochures. You well need a nice set of binoculars to see the detail in sales brochures. All we saw were distance tail and fin flops although some say they saw a baby come out of the water. We enjoyed just setting on the beach watching the whales in the evening as the actual tour....An underwhelmed Okie!
What a delight!! So much fun! Kicked myself for never doing before but will definitely do again!!
We had a wonderful time! The food was good, atmosphere perfect! The performance was better this time than the last time! We never tired of it!
We were a group of 6 2 couples and 2 friends. It was very nice and great for us couples but the friends felt a little left out since the music was very lovey dovey. But other than that the food was good and we got a whale show!
Beautiful setting
Gifted performers
Friendly staff
Mediocre food
Could not see the stage from my seat - had to stand in back to get photos.
Friendly crew and beautiful scenery. Will definitely do again
I will definitely recommend to my friends. It's great!
I have seriously never seen so much activity, everything from breaches, fin slapping, female-calf-male escort trio, it was a smorgasbord of whale viewing, best whale watch ever!
Celebrating our 25th Anniversary in Maui and this excursion was an amazing time. The entertainment, food and atmosphere was great. It's amazing how the culture plays such an amazing part of the show. Definitely worth the money.
