All Reviews for Lahaina Town, Maui

I participated on the first day of my trip.
The show during the sunset was wonderfully beautiful.
Also, there were no other Japanese people around us, which made me feel like I was abroad and I really enjoyed it.
The host asked the couples celebrating their wedding anniversaries how many years they had been married, and there was a surprise where everyone celebrated together. I was particularly moved by the couple celebrating their 54th anniversary who shared a sweet kiss.
I definitely want to go when I get married!
As for the food... the bread was fluffy and delicious, but the other dishes had an American feel and weren't very tasty.

旅行初日に参加しました。
夕日が沈む中のショーが素晴らしく美しいショーでした。
また、周りに私達以外に一人も日本人が居なく海外に来た感があり楽しめました☆
司会の方が結婚記念日の方に何年目か聞いて行き皆で祝福するとゆうサプライズがあり、中でも５４周年の夫婦が可愛くキスしてたのに感動しました♡♡♡
私も結婚した時にはぜひ行きたいと思いました♡
料理は。。。パンはフワフワで美味しかったけど、他はアメリカンな感じで美味しくなかったです。

It was an absolutely fantastic show, more then I expected. The whole family, even the finicky teenager enjoyed the show. The history of the islands then dancers and the fire entertainers were top notch. The whole experience from the staff and the entertainers were the best.

Excellent. Our instructor was named Rafael. He was patient and kind. Took time with our 12 and 10 years old. Also talked a lot about the environment as well as sea life

This was an awesome snorkel cruise. We have visited Maui many times and have been on many snorkel cruises. I think this is the best one we have ever been on. At the first snorkel location on Lanai we saw the most beautiful coral formations. On the way back we were entertained by a large pod of spinner dolphins. Then at the second location we were privileged to see turtles, and many large and small tropical fish.
The food on the boat was much better than we have experienced in the past. The crew was very helpful to both the experienced snorkler as well as to the brand new beginners. My wife and I had a great experience and would highly recommend this Maui to Lanai snorkel cruise to anyone, families, couples or individuals.

Great food, nice facility. A little too much waiting in line and then sitting around once inside. Good show.

I came on this trip with 6 girls and this was the 1st activity of our daily plans. I so happy that my travel agent recommended this tour. We did review the website for other similar activities close to our hotel, but this worked out perfect. The tour offered us a great BBQ Lunch with drinks. We even got a little continental breakfast. The crew made sure we knew about the safety on board and even tho the seas got ruff and passengers got sick they made sure to check on those passengers and made sure they were ok and at the same time make the other guest have a great time. I love that they teach you how to snorkel too. I would highly recommend this activity and company.

I was very excited to take this activity with my friends but the sea did not agree with me...I got really sea sick but I would not blame the activity...I should have known my body and taken a sea sick pill...what I really want to rave about this activity is the staff...I was so sea sick and they made me feel comfortable and kept checking in on me and my friends..I wish I felt better because they also served food and drinks that my friends really enjoyed. The staff was so educated with safety and making everyone feel that too. They were really nice and friendly and even told us jokes to that even as sick as I was I could laugh. I definitely will take do this activity the next time I visit Hawaii and I will make sure to take a motion sickness pill.

We had a great time on this activity. The staff was very nice and helpful...they made us feel comfortable....they even told us jokes to make us even feel more confortable...very welcoming...Hawaii people are so nice...the food was great...the beverage were also good...the staff taught us how to snorkel....the staff was very educated on their job...my friends got sea sick and the staff really helped them thru the sail...they kept checking in on them to make sure they were still doing good...the seas got ruff and we felt scared but the staff put us at ease..i would recommend this tour if you want a sailing type activity.

Our first luau. It was very entertaining and the wide variety of food was all great. Seating was a bit cramped, but we had a great time. Our teen kids had a blast.

We went with 4 kids, 2 grandmas and an aunt- hoping to see whales. What we had was a humorous and informative host, as well, amazing videos and pictures of a full 90 min whale adventure. The captain took us to a few spots, but we were lucky enough to see everything from tail splashing, diving under our boat, fin waving and blow hole splashing. We all had a great time!

On March 29, 2013, I went with my family of three (10-year-old boy). We were able to see quite a few spouts here and there and encountered more whales than we expected. Thanks to the captain searching for various spots, we were able to see them frequently, which was moving. Of course, we were also able to take pictures of tails and jumps. I brought my EOS Kiss X6i with a 135mm lens, but for more impactful photos, a 300mm lens might be better.

It was quite windy on the water, making it very cold, so a jacket is essential. The boat also swayed a lot, so preparation and readiness are necessary. However, my wife, who usually gets seasick, was able to enjoy the tour without any issues. We drove directly to the meeting point (Lahaina Dock) with a rental car. There is free street parking for up to three hours, but considering our plans to explore Lahaina afterward, we parked in a public lot ($16 for 2-6 hours). Since it was an early morning plan, both options were available, but it might be difficult to find parking nearby if you go later in the day.

2013/3/29に家族３人（10歳/男）で行ってきました。
結構あちらこちらで潮吹きが見られ、思ったより沢山のクジラに遭遇することができました。
キャプテンが色々とスポットを探してくれたせいか、ポンポン見れる感じで、感動しました。
もちろん、シッポやジャンプの写真もとることができました。
EOS-KissX6i+135mmのセットを持っていきましたが、迫力ある写真を撮ろうとすると300mmくらいあったほうが良いかもしれません。
海上は風があって、かなり寒いので、上着が必須なのと、かなり船が揺れるため、準備と覚悟が必要です。ただし、船に弱い妻も、船酔いすることなくツアーを楽しむことができました。
我が家はレンタカーで直接集合場所（ラハイナドック）に行きました。
３時間まで無料の路上Pもありますが、その後のラハイナ散策も考慮して公共Pに車を駐車しました。（2-6Hで$16）早朝プランだったので、どちらも空いていましたが、遅い時間だと近場に駐車スペースを見つけるのに苦労するかもしれません。

I participated in a very affordable early morning plan. Shortly after departure, we spotted whales, and the excitement on the boat was incredible! As we continued, whales appeared here and there, and I didn't know where to look! I learned for the first time that whales travel in groups; I thought they only traveled as mothers and their calves. It was quite windy and cold on the boat, so a jacket is necessary. Still, taking pictures of the whales is quite challenging.

大変お得な早朝プランで参加しました。
出発して間もなくクジラの姿が見えてきて船上は大興奮！！
さらに走っていくと、あちらでもこちらでもクジラが現れ一体どこを見たらよいのか！！？？状態でした。
クジラってグループで行動しているんですね、親子だけかと思っていたのですが今回初めて知ることができました。
船上はけっこう風が強くて寒いですので上着は必要。
それにしても、クジラの写真を撮るのは難しいです（：：）

I've seen hula shows at shopping centers, but this was my first time seeing such an authentic hula performance, and I was truly moved!

During the show, when the lights dimmed as part of the performance, I looked up at the sky and saw a sky full of stars, which was also breathtaking!

The staff was friendly (perhaps a bit too friendly?!), and the food was delicious, which made me very satisfied. The lack of guidance or explanations in Japanese added to the exotic atmosphere, which I really appreciated.

ショッピングセンターなどでは見たことあるけどここまで
本格的なフラのショーを見たのは初めてで感動しました！

ショーの途中、演出で照明が暗くなった時に空を見上げたら
満天の星が見えてそれもまた感動！！

スタッフもフレンドリーで（フレンドリー過ぎる感も？！）
食事も美味しく満足でした。下手に日本語で案内や説明が
なかったのも異国感たっぷりでよかったです。

I went whale watching from Lahaina on Maui with a Japanese guide named Gaito. At first, I thought we might only see them from a distance, but to my surprise, a mother and baby whale came very close, jumping and waving, and we even got to see the whale's tail up close. Saori from Gaito was very kind, which was great. We also received juice and snack vouchers. It was a very enjoyable two hours that flew by.

マウイ島のラハイナから日本語のガイトさんがのる便で鯨をみに行きました。最初は遠くからしか見えないのかな～と思いましたが、なんと、おやこ鯨が大接近、ジャンプに、手をふったり、鯨のシッポも間近でみれました。ガイトのさおりさんもとても親切でよかったです。ジュースとスナック券ももらいました、とても楽しいあっというまの２時間です。

Since it's my first time visiting Maui in winter, I definitely wanted to go whale watching, but I wasn't confident in my English, so I joined this tour where a Japanese staff member would be on board.

When I arrived at Lahaina Harbor, I was surprised by the crowd of people. It was a bit difficult to find the tour desk, but after checking in and sitting on a bench, Satomi, the staff member, approached us. Since we were the only Japanese people there, she stayed with us the whole time, sharing lots of information about whales, which felt like a great deal.

Of course, we saw plenty of whales; they were splashing their tails everywhere, and three of them swam right alongside the boat, which made for a very satisfying whale watching experience. The pizza place that Satomi recommended was also delicious.

Thank you very much!

初めて冬のマウイに行くので、ホエールウォッチングは絶対行きたいけれど英語に自信がないので、日本人スタッフが一緒に乗船してくれるこのツアーに参加しました。
ラハイナ港に着くと人人人で人の多さにびっくりです。
ツアーデスクを探すのに、少し見つけにくかったのですが、受付が終わってベンチに座っていると、すぐにスタッフのさとみさんが声をかけてくださり、ちょうど私たちだけが日本人ということで、ずっと付いてくださって、鯨の話をいろいろ聞けてお得感満載でした。
もちろん鯨もたくさん見れて、あちこちで鯨が尾びれをバシャバシャしてましたし、3頭が仲良く船のすぐ近くまで並走してくれたり大満足のホエールウォッチングでした。
さとみさんお勧めのピザ屋さんも美味しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

The Whale Watching was fun. The only problem was that we could not hear what was being said over the speakers. Too noisey.

I participated in a whale watching tour in late January with my sixth-grade son. We traveled all the way to Maui to show him whales, which are hard to see in Japan, in person.

The boat was large enough to accommodate over 100 people, but there were only a few passengers that day, with four Japanese and a few foreigners on the first floor, allowing for a comfortable seating arrangement. A Japanese guide was also on board, providing detailed explanations.

Before boarding, I was filled with anxiety about whether we would actually see any whales, but shortly after setting sail, we spotted whale spouts in various directions. The captain steered the boat toward them, and we quickly arrived near the whales.

After that, we could see whales all around us without even having to search, and I was able to capture their trademark cute tails on camera. It seems that around February to early March, about 4,000 whales come close to Maui.

Of course, my son was also thrilled with the impressive whales. The two-hour boat ride passed by much quicker than I expected, and I didn’t even have time to feel seasick.

During the cruise, we received a ticket that could be exchanged for either two drinks or a drink and a dessert or snack. I think the cost performance is excellent.

I highly recommend whale watching in Maui during the winter!

一月下旬にホエールウォッチングに参加させていただきました。小6の息子との二人旅。日本では　なかなか見ることのできないクジラを生で見せてあげたくて　マウイ島まで渡りました。
100人以上乗れる大きな船でしたが、その日は乗客も少なめで一階には日本人が4人と外国人が数人で椅子もゆったり。船には　日本人のガイドの方も一緒に乗っていただいたので
詳しい説明も聞けました。
乗るまでは、本当にクジラが見えるかどうか不安がいっぱいでしたが、出航して間もなくクジラの潮が沖のあちこちに見えました。　船長さんが　その方向に舟を走らせます。
あっという間に　クジラの近くに到着。
そのあとは、探さなくても　四方八方にクジラが見えてトレードマークのかわいい尻尾も　ちゃんとカメラに収めることができました。
大体二月から三月の頭くらいは　約4000頭のクジラがマウイ島の近くにやってくるそうです。
もちろん息子も　迫力満点のクジラに大満足。
二時間の船は　思ったよりあっという間に過ぎてしまい、船酔いする間もありませんでした。
クルージング中に　ドリンク二杯か　ドリンクとスイーツ、スナックのいづれかと交換できるチケットももらえます。
コストパフォーマンスは　最高だと思います。
冬のマウイ島でのホエールウォッチング、お勧めです。

we had a very nice new years eve. maybe we had expected something more after the show? we was sent away very quickly!

When it comes to traveling to Maui, whale watching is a must. I had heard that you could see them from the shore, but I thought it would be better to see them up close from a boat, so I made a reservation.

After about an hour of heading out to sea, we stopped the engine and waited for the whales. Before long, two whales appeared near the boat. I was thrilled to see their beautiful tails up close, just like in the catalogs. My wife and kids were busy taking photos.

Over the course of about 30 minutes, the whales appeared around the boat multiple times, allowing us to observe them closely.

The guide was very knowledgeable about the whales, pointing out when the same whale returned by recognizing its tail and sharing information about the ecosystem. They were also kind to the kids, making it a very enjoyable experience.

マウイ島への旅行といえばホエールウォッチング。
海岸からも見られると聞いていましたが、船の方が近くから見えると思い、予約しました。

1時間ほど沖へ進んだところでエンジンを停止してくじらを待ちます。
しばらくすると船の近くに2頭が現れます。
カタログでみるようなきれいな尾びれが間近で見られで大感激。妻も子供もひたすら写真を撮ってました。

30分ほどの間に船の周りに何度も現れてくれ、じっくり見ることができました。

ガイドさんはクジラにとても詳しく、尾びれを見てまた同じクジラがきたよとか、また、生態系の話しを教えてくれました。
子供にも親切にしてくれ、とても楽しかったです。

We wanted to experience a Luau. It was our first time to the islands. Even though the weather was less than great we had a great time. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to have the luau experience. The food was great.

Overall this was a good experience for our first luau. The setting was very nice and the fire dancer a huge hit. I thought the dancers and entertainers were great but I would have enjoyed something a little more interactive. Example, instead of just selling the crafts, allowing children to interact. The food was good but the drinks were watered down. I didn't even finish one and ended up buying a $15 drink from the bar. We would likely attend again but also might look for something a little more interactive for the kids.

Since I have a small child, I decided to take this cruise ship where we could see whales on a large boat. I was thrilled to see dozens of whales. I requested a Japanese interpreter, and while the interpreter joined us on board, the amount of information provided was far less than the announcements in English. I had to ask the interpreter questions to get answers. I wished they could translate the English announcements directly. Other than that, I was very satisfied.

小さい子がいるので、大きな船で鯨に会えるというこちらのクルーズ船に乗船することにしました。何十匹もの鯨に会えて、感激です。日本人の通訳さんのリクエストをしたところ、通訳さんが乗船してくれたのですが、情報量としては、英語でのアナウンスに遠く及びません。自分から通訳さんに質問して、答えてもらうようにしないといけません。英語のアナウンスをそのまま通訳してもらえればいいのにな、と思いました。それ以外は大満足です。

When I chose this dinner cruise on our first trip to Maui, I thought "larger boat, more space". Instead, it was "larger boat more people". The four of us in our group could not believe how many tables were set up on the upper deck. In my opinion, it was not even safe if something had happened to the ship. I even had the sense that the ship was top heavy.

We sat near the bow in the center. For whatever reason, everyone was served around us before we received our food. We were absolutely the last people served, but we weren't the last table in any of the rows. I realize that some table has to be last, but it didn't make any sense in the way they served the tables. We even had to remind them that we hadn't been served. The people at the stern were close to the bar and the food. They were finished with dessert before we had been served. There was almost no way to get the three drinks included with the meal unless you ordered all of them at once. Too many people trying to order from one

Too much focus on being sexual. Didn't enjoy that, there are many families attending and it just seemed inappropriate to me. Not worth the money for the experience.

Having never been to Hawaii, we wanted to experience many of the romantic options available for couples. This dinner cruise did not disappoint. Our only complaint was the table and chairs - small table with chairs bolted to the floor. Uncomfortable and inconvenient.

The meal itself was well prepared and quite tasty. As non-drinkers we enjoyed the free beverages; however there was always a wait at the bar and we had to wait to get additional drinks. A suggestion would be for the servers to bring non-alcoholic beverages to those without the "alcohol bracelet."

Though Mother Nature did not cooperate and the sunset was less than spectacular, the experience itself was great. The entertainment was well done and we enjoyed the singer's lack of conversation while playing nice music.

This is definitely something we would enjoy doing again.

From the Sheraton Maui where I stayed, it was surprisingly close to walk along the beach walk, arriving in about 7 to 8 minutes. There was an ID check at the entrance, and it seems it's better to have something like a driver's license. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything on me, but I passed without any issues.

While waiting in a long line, we were greeted by a typical Hawaiian light rain, which resulted in a rainbow appearing in the sky, and a nearby American family took a photo for us. By the way, it seems there were quite a few fewer participants from Japan.

The content of the show was well-structured and enjoyable, although the food had a somewhat wild impression for a Japanese person.

宿泊したシェラトンマウイからビーチウォークにそって歩くと思いのほか近く７~８分で到着しました。入場ではIDの確認がありました。運転免許証なんかは持っていたほうがよいようです。あいにくなにも持っていませんでしたが難なくパス。
長蛇の列で待つなか、ハワイらしい小雨に見舞われましたが、おかげで空に虹がかかり、近くのアメリカ人ファミリーが写真を撮ってくれました。ちなみに日本からの参加者はかなり少ないようです。
ショーの内容は構成も分かりやすく楽しめるものでした、食事の内容は日本人的にはいくぶんワイルドな印象でした。

The timing was great on the trip. They made it clear how things would work. We couldn't have ask for anything more for the price.

I almost gave this one a overall 3 rating, but the views and weather were so nice I had to go with 4. There are however a few downsides to this one. First, there were a ton of empty tables, but they still opted to seat couples with other couples in tiny cramped tables forcing everyone to make akward conversation. Personally, I wanted a nice relaxing time with my GF to enjoy the experience, not have to talk to someone we just met. Second, the dinner was just ok. Maybe it is because everywhere else in Maui is so good, this dinner just didnt quite do it for me. The staff were friendly enough, but they work in an assembly line fasion and once you get your food its hard to find them again.

If you are very sociably and want to meet people this might be a better cruise for you. If you want a nice quiet evening with just you and your loved one this might not be the best option.

Was a good show, all the dancers were very good. I so enjoyed the food. The pork was amazing..... Met some nice people for different places and had a great time. A little pricey i thought, but if you have never been, it was a good experience.

Our day started with a guided tour around the Maui Dragon Fruit Farm. The tour started with our guide sharing their story about the farm and how Dragon fruit helps your health.... very interesting! The farm is really big and has other crops than Dragon Fruit.

Aqua Ball was a BLAST!! My kids and I had such an incredible time jumping into the ball (which contains water so remember to bring your swim suit) and rolled down the course. Super Fun!!

Next up was the zipline! It was great zipping across the farm but I only wish the lines were higher and longer so it would be more thrilling! However, it was perfect since I was traveling with my 7 year old daughter.

OVERALL, This tour was educational, unique and FUN!! I will definitely suggest this tour to all of my friends who visit Maui!!
