Maui
We loved the whole thing! Only thing we would change is maybe including a printout of all the menu items with further detail such as ingredients and/or how the tradition cake about in ancient Hawaiian culture.
The sunset cruise was awesome. Definitely something to do while in Maui.
Our sail was outstanding! The crew was amazing and attentive! Emily and Carrie were friendly and helpful! Aaron put us all at ease! Would go again in a heartbeat!
Thanks. We will do it again. Hope sunset will be awesome.
My friend and I took this Catamaran trip last week and it was wonderful. The crew (Cap’ts Carrie & Kevin) were fabulous as were the servers. The food was great and just being out on the water was amazing! The best thing we did while there!
We had a great time! We brought young kids, they had a blast! Great food and drinks
Great crew! And the food was the best we have seen. Not our first cruise, but it was really good! We will be back
Staff were incredibly efficient and they certainly don't skip on the alcohol or the food.
Fabulous show! Awesome food and wonderful staff! I would highly recommend and go again :)
The employees really made the difference here, very engaging. Area was beautiful, cool to see the desert areas close up!
We had a really good time at the Luau. It was 1 hour long and that was enough time for my children ages 9 & 12 to enjoy the show and get a feel for a bit of Hawaiian culture. We did the cocktails only show and we found this to be a good option for our family. It was a good show for the $112 it cost to attend.
It was very nice, we opted for the cocktails and show. A little disappointed that the bartender left a few minutes after the show started.
This was my eighth time on Maui, but it was my first time attending a luau in person. The show was wonderful, and the food was local cuisine. The steamed pig, in particular, was very delicious, and I went back for seconds multiple times. It was a fun experience with food that exceeded the price! ^_^
マウイ島は8回目でしたがルアウを目の前で見るのは初めての参加です。
ショーは素晴らしく料理も地元の料理。特に豚の蒸し焼きは。とても美味しく何度もお代わりしました。料金以上の楽しさと食事でしたよ^_^
There were no Japanese-speaking staff, but everything went smoothly and I had a great time. I couldn't figure out the parking lot and the free service points from the map. Also, I wasn't quite sure about the grassy area. Those two points were disappointing.
日本語対応スタッフはいませんでしたが、特に問題なく進行しとても楽しむことができました。
駐車場と無料対応ポイントが地図を見てもわかりませんでした。
あと、芝生広場もイマイチわかりませんでした。
その2点が残念でした。
Had a great time, first time on zip line, I will be doing it again. Just a heads up, your shoes will get dirty, so don't wear the new ones. Thanks Bundy and Mack
The weather was a bit cloudy, but the comfortable climate typical of Maui remained unchanged. It's been two and a half years since then, but I still remember it vividly. I saw whales in the distance doing flips. Capturing the perfect shot is incredibly difficult, but next time I want to bring a good camera instead of just my smartphone!
天気は少し曇り気味でしたが、マウイらしい快適な気候は変わりませんでした。
あれから2年半経っての投稿になりましたが、今でも鮮明に覚えています。
クジラが遠くに見えて宙返りをしてくれました。
シャッターチャンスがものすごく難しいですが、次回はスマホではなくいいカメラを持っていきたいですね!
The band is great. The dancers are talented and their talents are diverse. The food is very good (short ribs for sure). The servers are incredibly attentive (especially Evan). Go!
Our first visit to Maui...our first ever Luau and we were not disappointed!! The entertainment was excellent and the food was amazing!
Great experience, enjoyed by whole family, would recommend to others!
Zipline course itself was awesome
Beautiful view!
Guides were friendly
It was good, not great. Show was good. Food was good. Seating was tight and overall it was a little over-priced.
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!
We thoroughly enjoyed this! Crew was super friendly and accommodating. Took care of everything and the spots we went to had plenty to see. Food was good as well with ice cream dessert on the way back c'mon! Highly recommended for the money!
Good luau. Little cheesy but good food and atmosphere
It was an entertaining intimate luau with crowd participation. We did the show and cocktail only option since we are not big eaters. It would have been nice to know they close the bar when the show starts so we were bamboozled on the drinks. Show was not very long but very good.
The crew of the Trilogy III made us feel welcome from the start and helped everyone have a blast snorkeling! We made two long stops in nearby bays, th second of which yielded spectacular swims with sea turtles. Couldn't be happier!
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.
Our whale watching cruise was incredible. The staff was so kind and very informative. The crew knew the answers to all of the questions that guests were asking about the whales and their lifestyles.
Our departure location changed due to weather and the staff made sure to contact us multiple ways to ensure that we were aware of the changes. Very helpful!
The only disappointment is that we weren't served cinnamon rolls, which had been advertised as the menu for the morning departure.
was an amazing night !! great show, great food.. I have never seen anything like it
I went with my second-grade daughter and my partner. Initially, we were set to depart from Kaanapali Beach, but due to weather conditions, it changed to Lahaina Harbor. We received an email the day before, but since we were without Wi-Fi, we couldn't reply, and then we got a phone call. It cost about $17 by taxi from our hotel, Sheraton Maui, to Lahaina Harbor. Upon arriving at the harbor, there were several whale watching tour counters, and it took a little time to find the company, Trilogy. In the end, there wasn't a counter, but I noticed a Trilogy staff member standing there calling out "Trilogy?" and we were able to board safely. They mentioned to look for a small white lighthouse, but we weren't directly under it; we were nearby. When I asked at the counter close to the lighthouse, I received a heartbreaking response of "That's not it!" so be careful.
Now, regarding the whale watching itself, I initially sat at the back of the boat, but wanting to see the whales, I moved to the front. There were no seats, but I positioned myself right in the middle at the front to search for whales. Shortly after we set sail, we spotted a spout of water and some splashes that seemed to indicate a jump. The further we went offshore, the more we were able to see tails and jumps. We were thrilled to see whales swimming gracefully close to the boat and the impressive jumps! We were able to see many whales. After returning to the hotel, the tour guide mentioned that "this year, since El Niño has ended, there are a lot more whales," so the chances of seeing them have definitely increased compared to last year. During El Niño, fewer whales travel down to Hawaii from the Gulf of Mexico. Also, it seems that more whale jumps can be seen in the cooler morning and evening waters. We were on the afternoon tour, so we were worried, but fortunately, we were able to see many whales.
Onboard, they served drinks, including alcoholic beverages, ham sandwiches, cookies, and potato chips as light snacks. The crew didn't speak Japanese, but we had no issues and had a great time. I definitely want to visit Maui again in February and participate in the whale watching tour. By the way, I only took photos with my smartphone, so they were far from the impressive shots you see in guidebooks. Some people had DSLRs, but it might be risky since you never know when a splash might come. In the vast ocean, it's hard to know where the whales will appear, so it feels like a waste to look through the viewfinder while trying to spot them.
小2の娘と親子3人で利用しました。当初は、カアナパリビーチから出航でしたが、天候によりラハイナ港発に変わりました。前日にメール連絡ありましたが、wifi環境下におらず返信できずにいたら、電話連絡がありました。宿泊先のシェラトンマウイからラハイナ港まではタクシーで片道17ドル程度。港に着くといくつものホエールウォッチングツアー窓口があり、主催会社のトリロジーを探しあてるのに少々手間取りました。結果としては、窓口はなくトリロジーのお兄さんが立っていて「トリロジー?」と声をかけていたのに気づき無事乗船となりました。白い小さな灯台を目印にとのことでしたが、その真下にいるのではなく、近くにいました。灯台すぐ近くの窓口で聞いたときは、「違います!」との切ない回答だったので、注意が必要です。
さて、肝心のホエールウォッチングは、乗船時こそは後ろのほうで座っていましたが、やはりクジラが見たくてヨットの前方に移動し、椅子はなかったけどど真ん中の真ん前に陣取りクジラを探しました。出航からほどなく沖合に、潮を吹く姿を見つけたり、ジャンプの後らしき波しぶきを見つけたり。だんだん沖に進めば進むほど、しっぽを確認できたり、ジャンプも見られました。船のすぐ近くをクジラが悠々と泳いでいく姿や、迫力のジャンプに大興奮! 多くのクジラを見ることができました。ホテルに戻ってからツアーガイドさん曰く、「今年はエルニーニョが終わったのでクジラがとても多い」とのことで、去年より断然みられる確率が高まったとのことです。エルニーニョの間は、クジラがメキシコ湾にとどまりハワイまで南下するクジラが少ないのだとか。また、クジラのジャンプがより多くみられるのは、海水温の低い朝夕だそうです。私たちは、午後からのツアーだったので、心配していましたが、幸運にもたくさんのクジラを見られました。船上ではアルコールを含むドリンク、ハムサンド、クッキー、ポテトチップスなど軽食とドリンクが供されます。クルーの方々は、日本語は通じませんが、特に問題なくとても楽しめました。また、ぜひ2月のマウイに行き、ホエールウォッチングツアーに参加したいと思います。 ちなみに、写真はスマホ撮影のみでしたので、ガイドブックのような迫力あるショットとは程遠く・・・。一眼レフを持っていた方もいましたが、いつ波しぶきがかかるかも分からないのでリスキーかもしれませんね。広い海の中で、どこからクジラが姿を現すかわからないので、ファインダーをのぞきながらだと見つけにくいという点でももったいない気がします。
