Myths of Maui Royal Lahaina Luau - Open Bar, Polynesian Dance & Fire Knife Show

Great dinner and show

Reviewed by: Phil

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.

カアナパリ沖 セーリング&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事・アルコール2杯付き>

Kaanapali Offshore Sailing & Snorkeling (includes breakfast and lunch, with Japanese-speaking crew) by Trilogy / Recommended Plan カアアナパリ沖セーリング&シュノーケリング (朝食・昼食付、日本語クルー在籍) by トリロジー / おすすめプラン

Reviewed by: olive_isl

On March 30, 2013, I went with my family of three (10-year-old boy). The water clarity was somewhat low that day, and it felt like there were fewer tropical fish. However, we were able to encounter sea turtles. We were able to rent wet suits, so the 30-minute snorkeling was fine. On the way back, we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere while sailing, and during the trips to and from the snorkeling spot, we also encountered whales together. They were quite close and impressive. Unfortunately, there was no Japanese-speaking crew, but it wasn't a problem at all.

2013/3/30に家族3人(10歳/男)で行ってきました。
この日は水の透明度がやや低く、熱帯魚も少ないような感じでした。
ただし、海亀には遭遇することができました。
ウエットスーツを借りることができたので、30分くらいのシュノーケンリングは大丈夫でした。
帰りはセーリングでのんびりした雰囲気も楽しむことができ、また、シュノーケリングスポットへの行き帰りにおいては、共にクジラに遭遇することができました。
かなり近くて迫力がありました。
残念ながら、日本語クルーは在籍していませんでしたが、特に問題はありませんでした。

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 was fun. 楽しかった。

Reviewed by: CAN

Since it's close to the hotel, we chose to depart from Ka'anapali Beach. I was wondering where to board since there wasn't a pier, but you actually get on the boat from the beach. It feels a bit like a fun attraction, which is enjoyable. I sat in a hammock seat, so it felt different from usual, and there were some people lounging around.

You might be able to see whales up close depending on luck, so it can vary each time, but I recommend it for those visiting during this season!

Also, please be cautious as there are places where you might get wet.

ホテルに近いことからカアナパリビーチ発にしました。
桟橋とかなくて、どこから乗るのかなぁって思ってたら
ビーチから船に乗るんです。ちょっとしたアトラクション気分で乗るので
楽しいっ。ハンモック席に座ったのでいつもと違う感じがして
寝そべっている方もいました。

またクジラは運次第で近くで見れるのでその時によって異なるか
と思われますが、この時期に行かれる方オススメです!

また場所によっては濡れることもあるので注意してください。

伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー マウイの神話 <優先入場VIP席あり/ビュッフェ夕食/飲み放題/ロイヤル・ラハイナ・リゾート>

Hula Girl♪ フラガール♪

Reviewed by: macky

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。

Not my choice

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

My husband and I have been to the Old Lahaina Luau and prefer it to this one hands down. Drums of the Pacific seemed corny, as another reviewer posted. The emcee sounded like a barker for a side show..."and now the GRRREEAATT, the FaNTAAAASSSTIC, So-And-So (can't remember the name of the dancer) performing the ...whatever. My brother and his wife, first time visitors, were with us and enjoyed it. We didn't tell them any different so as not to spoil their evening. For first timers, it's OK but if you want culture and history, Old Lahaina Luau is far better.

First timers

Reviewed by: Tami

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.

Video

Reviewed by: Brown Family

We went as a family event and enjoyed the event itself, but we bought the pictures and video and two people in our group were not in the video, very disappointing. And there were only a few clips of us in the video. Most of the video is prerecorded stream that a few clips of our family was added to. The crew sells the t-shirts and receive the profit from them but was not willing to give a discount for 8 shirts. Not good business. When paying $60 for video and pictures the crew should have made sure the camera and sd card were working for each ride. Not happy.

伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー マウイの神話 <優先入場VIP席あり/ビュッフェ夕食/飲み放題/ロイヤル・ラハイナ・リゾート>

A show that conveys excitement. 熱気が伝わるショー

Reviewed by: Rinpapa

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。

カアナパリ沖 セーリング&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事・アルコール2杯付き>

Surrounded by sea turtles and coral. ウミガメとサンゴに囲まれて

Reviewed by: ソロイモンガラ

We participated as a family of four. There were no Japanese people, including the staff, but the cheerful staff made it enjoyable without feeling alienated.

We went snorkeling in Honaunau Bay, and there was only one other boat in the spacious bay, allowing us to swim freely.

The water was very clear, and we enjoyed the corals and fish. We encountered a large number of sea turtles, almost six of them gathered together.

We changed spots and went snorkeling again, but at that location, there were fewer corals compared to the first spot, as it was rocky.

The waves on the way there and back were not too rough, and I didn't feel seasick at all.

I think more Japanese people should consider visiting.

家族4人で参加しました。スタッフを含め日本人はいませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフで、とくに疎外感を感じずに楽しめました。

ホノルア湾でスノーケリングをしましたが、湾にはもう一船いるだけで、広々した湾でのびのび泳ぎ回れました。

海の透明度は高く、サンゴ、魚は十分楽しめました。ウミガメの数は半端なく、6匹近くまとまって集まっているのに遭遇しました。

スポットを変えて、もう一度スノーケリングしましたが、そちらは岩場で、最初のスポットほどサンゴは見られませんでした。

行き帰りの波はそれほど荒くなく、まったく酔わずに済みました。

日本人がもっと訪れてもいいように思います。

Kupanaha Maui Magic Show

Reviewed by: Shirley Frazier

The show was fabulous. However, I was seated at the back of the room (and I would have had to turn completely around) to see the show after paying for premium seating. Then, someone came to my table and asked for me and moved me to the best table in the house. To my surprise, again, I would have had to turn completely around and see the show. At this point, I was really angry and was getting ready to ask for the manager or get my money BACK when one of the guests offered to give up his seat to me. Overall, the show was the best entertainment I saw in Maui but the fact I went to the expense to pay for upgraded seating and was given bad seats (TWICE) really upsets me. I am not sure if I would use your service again.

Whale soup クジラスープ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Before departing for my trip, I decided to participate based on the information that there are so many whales around Maui at this time of year that it's called "whale soup." Since I was staying at a hotel in Ka'anapali, it was very convenient that the whale watching tour was the only one departing from Ka'anapali, while most others were from Lahaina. I was able to see many whale backs and tails, but it was a bit disappointing that I only saw their heads and full jumps once. However, it was a fun two hours as I shared the joy of spotting whales with the staff and other guests. Motion sickness medication is a must.

旅行出発前に、今の時期マウイ島周辺の海は、クジラスープと呼ばれるほどたくさんのクジラがいるらしい・・・という情報から参加を決めました。カアナパリのホテルに滞在していた為、ラハイナ発のホエールウォッチングが多い中、唯一カアナパリ発だったのでとても便利でした。たくさんのクジラ達の背中や尾は見えましたが、頭やジャンプをして全体の姿を現してくれたのは1回だけだったので少し残念でした。でもスタッフの方や他のお客さんと共に、クジラを見つけた時に歓声をあげて喜びを共有できて楽しい2時間でした。酔い止めは必須です。

As far as Laua's go

Reviewed by: From Australia

Unfortunately it was raining on the night we went, were handed plastic poncho's at the door to an outdoor cement courtyard and facing away from the beach. This was disappointing compared to others I had read about. We paid extra for preferred seating, which was probably better than sitting up the back. Our table service was not good and agree with other reviews the Mai Tai's were awful, had to go to the bar to ask for wine instead. Still all in all it was what a Laua is all about, the dancers were great, had a good laugh at them doing the NZ Huka. Would still recommend.

First of all, I have a complaint. I was hoping for staff who could speak Japanese, and since I hadn't received any communication, I went out feeling at ease, only to find that all the guests and staff were foreigners. The staff welcomed us with smiles and assured us everything was fine, but I couldn't understand anything from the lengthy greetings to the explanations. However, the staff were considerate and made an effort to engage with us, so I didn't feel uncomfortable. In the end, my husband and I decided to just enjoy ourselves with our dialect, and it turned out well.

As for the tour content, I was very satisfied. Time flew by quickly.

まず最初に苦情を・・日本語を話すスタッフを希望していて特に連絡もなかったので安心して出かけたところ、客もスタッフも全て外国人。スタッフは笑顔で大丈夫だと迎えてくれましたが、長々と話される挨拶から説明事項までさっぱりわかりませんでした。確かにスタッフは気を使って話しかけてくれて居心地は悪くなかったので、開き直って主人と二人方言丸出しで楽しんでこれたので結果オーライでしたけどね。
ツアー内容は大満足。時間があっという間に過ぎて行きました。

Fun but couple of problems

Reviewed by: Charles

The ride itself was excellent, and for us first-timers, a really great experience. The boat was late, however, but they promised us a free video of the ride for some compensation. The video won't work, and I suspect the lens cap was left on the camera (sound but black picture). We took our own videos, though, and since we weren't charged for the video it's not a big deal.
No complaints at all about the ride and the employees, though.
