Maui Nui Sunset Luau on Kaanapali Beach with Open Bar at Sheraton Resort
Very good experience
Activity Date: 2026/04/06 | Posted on: 2026/04/08

This was our first experience of Luau. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The music and dance were exceptional. The food and drinks were awesome. The program was handled with care and professionalism. We will be happy to come back one day.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  <12~4月/軽食&アルコール2杯付き/英語ガイド/カアナパリビーチ発>
It's a great opportunity to see whales in person.
クジラを生で見る機会として良い
Activity Date: 2026/03/26 | Posted on: 2026/04/04

At the end of March, we took a daytime departure. What we saw was a mother and baby whale swimming alongside us and spouting water. Since we participated during spring break, the morning and evening trips were fully booked. If you're expecting to see the dynamic whales that you often see in photos, it might be better to consider the timing and season.

3月末、昼出港の便でした。私たちが見たのは、クジラ親子の並走と潮吹き。
春休みを利用しての参加だったので、朝や夕方は満席でした。
もし写真で見かけるダイナミックなクジラを期待するようなら、時期と時間を考慮する方がよいかな。

This is the only opportunity to show children wild whales. It's worth participating in as an experience.

子供たちに野生のクジラを見せる機会としてはこれしかない。経験として参加することに価値あり。

This was the most fun activity we did our entire week that we visited Maui! We loved seeing the whales, and had the best time snorkeling & seeing all of the fish & turtles! The catamaran was clean & organized well, the staff & captain were amazing! They were invaluable in finding whales & making sure everyone was safe etc! The food & drinks were excellent!! It was very warm, family oriented & welcoming!

Kaanapali Guided Outrigger Canoe Adventure & Cultural Tour - We Paddle Maui
Felt like part of a community!
Activity Date: 2026/02/27 | Posted on: 2026/03/01

From the moment we checked in for our experience, we felt at home. The crew immediately made us feel welcome and at ease. During the beach training session, we felt like we were part of a community before we even got in the boat. Once we set out our guide, Puni, was kind, informative and funny. We would definitely do this again!

Kaanapali Guided Outrigger Canoe Adventure & Cultural Tour - We Paddle Maui
Highlight of our trip!
Activity Date: 2026/02/05 | Posted on: 2026/02/07

We had an incredible time on the cultural canoe tour with We Paddle Maui! Our guides Puni, Ivan, and Jesus were awesome! The owner Fabio was great to work with as well! He answered our questions and was very kind! We would HIGHLY recommend this tour! It felt like we were getting a genuine look at the culture of Maui. Puni shared stories with us about Maui, the wildlife, and more. We were very fortunate to be paddling at a time when the whales were here. This made for an even better experience to see whales breaching and to see a mom and calf together in the water from afar. We learned a few Hawaiian words used in paddling, Ivan recited a Hawaiian prayer, and we had a little friendly race with the other boat toward the end. The guides were friendly, professional, and made the tour so much fun! THANK YOU We Paddle Maui! This has been the highlight of our trip!
Team Puni for the win! 🤙

Kaanapali Guided Outrigger Canoe Adventure & Cultural Tour - We Paddle Maui
Cultural Canoe Tour, Kaanapali Beach
Activity Date: 2026/02/05 | Posted on: 2026/02/07

We had an awesome first day of our trip at 'We Paddle Maui'! Our guides Ivan, Puni, and Jesus showed us the ropes and gave us a run down on these authentic Hawaiian style canoes. We had a truly wholesome experience as we paddled out into the ocean, whales breaching in the distance, stories of the culture exchanged, and knowledge of the sport passed along. I reccomend everyone visiting the island to book a tour with this company, as we left feeling closer to the culture, land, and wildlife! Thanks again to all of our guides, and Fabio, for a great time! We will be back!!

Team Puni for the win!! 🤙🤙🤙

West Maui Off Road ATV Adventure Tour with Solo & Group Rides Option
Best ATV ride
Activity Date: 2026/01/06 | Posted on: 2026/01/08

My daughter and I went on this trip and it was fantastic. I let her drive most of the time and we were directly behind the guide so it was great. Speaking of the guides, amazing dudes, not only for the trip and the assistance, but also for what they taught us about Maui and the restoration of the forest preserve. On every trip they plant a tree to try to bring back the rainforest and of course, Bella volunteered to plant it😎Highly recommend!!!

Kaanapali Guided Outrigger Canoe Adventure & Cultural Tour - We Paddle Maui
Bumbled our way through it
Activity Date: 2025/11/04 | Posted on: 2025/11/11

The guide had been stood up by his colleague so was operating solo and was so obviously out of his depth. He was very likeable and put in a lot of effort but kept forgetting things and kept going over the same things. It took an age just to get us into the water.
A pleasurable fun day but we won't be using them again.

Myths of Maui Royal Lahaina Luau - Open Bar, Polynesian Dance & Fire Knife Show
The Hawaiian Luau Experience
Activity Date: 2025/11/04 | Posted on: 2025/11/06

Been years since we did a Luau. It was a beautiful venue at the Royal Lahaina. Unfortunately, we had small rain events going thru the area most of the day and right at the start of the Luau. The staff did a great job getting things dried down and the service was friendly and fun. Loved the food and drink choices. The performance was traditional with some amazing young kids carrying on the Hawaiian traditions. We had a fun time thanks!

Kaanapali Deluxe Snorkeling Cruise with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy
Captain Steve was great!
Activity Date: 2025/10/21 | Posted on: 2025/10/27

Captin Steve was great! His three female coworkers lacked enthusiasm for their job in a service oriented business. They served us breakfast and we finally had to ask them to take our plates and glasses after hanging on to them for about tewnty minutes on rough water. Other people's drink glasses were blowing around. Snorkeling was good. Meals were average. I guess if you want a good excursion you will have to stay in Mexico. Every excursion in Mexico that we have been on they go out of their way there to make your day special with great service and appreciation for your dollar. We never got that service or appreciation on any of our Maui excursions. Thank you Steve, you covered for your crew nicely.

The parking situation is complicated. I went to check it out in advance, but I wasn't quite sure and felt anxious, so I used the parking lot of the adjacent aquarium. The foreign travelers who were on

駐車場が難解です。事前に確認に行ったのですがイマイチわからず不安だったので、隣接する水族館の駐車場を利用しました。同じ船に乗った外国人の方たちも駐車場がよくわからないと言っていました。
