Great Show
Activity Date: 2026/04/13 | Posted on: 2026/04/15

The 6 of us in our group had a wonderful time at this luau.

The meal was excellent and the performances of the dancers and others was quite memorable.

A bit expensive, but as a unique experience for the family, well worth it

Perhaps the placement of some signage leading to the luau from the parking garage would be good.

This was my second luau. The performances were spectacular. Unfortunately, the service was poor and the food was mediocre. For the price of our group of 10, I would not do it again.

Really loved this experience for being my first time on a water bike. The water bikes felt even easier to ride than a kayak!

Wailea Water Bike Tour at Makena Bay - Surf Cycling Hawaii [Beginner Friendly]
Best bike ride I’ve ever been on
Activity Date: 2025/10/24 | Posted on: 2025/10/26

I am now a HUGE fan of these bikes. I just booked this tour to keep my husband busy and It was the perfect way to start our vacation. K since I can’t remember is beautiful name was an awesome guide. My husband and I were the only ones that signed up for that particular day and to have the guide all to ourselves was a special treat. K was so informative and kept up or slowed down to our pace and we got to hang with the turtles in the area.
I highly recommend adding this water bike tour to your itinerary.

Don't worry that it's your first time snorkeling! John will kindly teach you how to drive a kayak, jump out of the middle of the ocean in a kayak and snorkel! If you have a waterproof phone case, it will help you take pictures of beautiful scenery and marine animals during your activities. You can meet monkseals, turtles, cute various fish, and octopus up close! Don't miss the best experience!

伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー『テ・アウ・モアナ』 <3コースディナー/飲み放題/ワイレアビーチ・マリオットリゾート&スパ>
The high-quality show and the sense of unity among the audience were amazing!
クオリティーの高いショーと観客同士の一体感は最高でした‼️
Activity Date: 2025/08/25 | Posted on: 2025/08/27

I have participated in this kind of entertainment during my stays on the Big Island of Hawaii, but the show during my stay on Maui was the best. This time, the first half was centered around hula dancing, while the second half focused on Polynesian dances rooted in Samoa and Tahiti. The dancers' skills were high, and the woman who hosted the show and performed Hawaiian songs had an amazing singing ability. During an audience participation interview, we were asked about the secrets to our long marriage, which really got everyone excited. At our table, there was an American couple on their honeymoon, and when we congratulated them from the other members at the table, it created a wonderful sense of unity among everyone, making it the best dinner experience.

これまでもハワイ島でのステイの際にこの種のエンタメに参加しましたが、今回のマウイ島での滞在でのショーは最高でした。今回は前半がフラダンスを中心に構成され、後半はサモアやタヒチ等をルーツとするポリネシアンダンスが中心でしたが、ダンサーのスキルが高く、かつ、ショーの司会とつなぎのハワイアン歌唱を担当していた女性の歌唱力も素晴らしかったです。そして観客を巻き込んでのインタビューでは、我々も結婚歴の長い秘訣をインタビューされ、随分と盛り上がりました。同じテーブルには新婚旅行中のアメリカ人カップルが同席していて、彼らにもテーブルの他のメンバーからお祝いを送ると、テーブル全員が一体感で包まれ、最高のディナーになりました。

You can manage your lack of English skills. First, build friendships with your table members!

英語力の不足は何とかなります。先ずは同じテーブルのメンバーとの友好を❗️

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our entire family in Maui and this was one of the first activities we all participated in. We have a 12-year-old down syndrome granddaughter who loved the Polynesian dancing and actually stood up and danced with the dancer on board. It was such a dear Experience to observe.

Great way to spend a morning on the beautiful blue water of Wailea. We saw turtles swimming around us, whales off in the distance, and held a pencil urchin. The guys that run this are so nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them.

Pride of Maui Luau Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar & Polynesian Show
Such an amazing night!
Activity Date: 2022/08/16 | Posted on: 2022/08/18

The crew is exceptional! You might be turned off initially that the crew is also performing but don’t be. They’re so good and very much a steward of the culture. They’re extremely talented, entertaining and my wife and I loved every minute of it! The food was good, the atmosphere was obviously amazing (it’s Maui). The captain is a super chill guy, he does a brief education of the islands that was super interesting and informative. I can’t say enough good things about this dinner cruise. To top is off the crew involved some of the guests in the show and everyone was just having a great time.

I highly recommend this activity, you won’t regret it!

Booking through Hawaii activities was the best decision. Not only did I get a discount from their summer coupon but I booked early enough that they were able to secure us a table right upfront, not sure if that’s the reason. Open bar was worth it. The drinks were surprisingly great. The shows were entertaining. The food was ok. I would definitely go back though for sure.

One of the best luaus on Maui hands down!
Activity Date: 2021/07/12 | Posted on: 2021/08/07

They had open availability after my first luau was cancelled. We were so happy about this because our vacation was revived! They drop their dates some times in the beginning of the month which is how we got our hands on tickets. They sell out quick now so definitely plan your luaus ahead! The food was awesome and the experience matched. The aloha energy was spread all night long throughout every worker we came in contact with. Definitely recommend this luau!

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching
We saw so many turtles!!
Activity Date: 2021/07/17 | Posted on: 2021/07/19

This was a wonderful adventure that added such fun to our stay in Maui. We stayed on the west side but made the 1 hour drive to make memories. And what great memories and pictures we have! This was the perfect amount of time! A total of 3 hours. Some paddling and some snorkeling. For a family of 4, two of which were kids, this was the best kayak trip around. Our guide/teacher made the trip even better. Jake was knowledgeable about the area, made conversation and connections with everyone in our group. He was very confident and thorough with what to expect and what we would need to do to maintain safety. He engaged the kids and even brought of ocean life for them to explore!
