All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Maui

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!

This was breathtaking. Our tour guide Nettie was spectacular. She made the tour outstanding. Her positive attitude and her story telling was amazing.

I deeply realized that there are many moving experiences in the world that you can only understand by experiencing them. Thank you for a wonderful time. When I close my eyes, it feels like a sky full of stars appears.

経験してみないとわからない感動が世の中にはたくさんあるのだなとしみじみ思いました。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。
目を瞑ると満天の星が浮かんでくるようです。

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!

I booked thinking I would be going to Molokini Island. It's an afternoon tour. However, I ended up at a rocky area on Maui, about 20 minutes from the port. I thought we would go to Molokini Island, but it turned out this was the end of the tour. There were some corals, but the main inhabitants were just black triggerfish. It seemed like this was the so-called Coral Garden. The title of the tour was misleading.

モロキニ島に行くものと思って予約しました。午後スタートのコースです
でも、ついたのは、港から20分くらいのマウイ島の岩場でした。
ここからモロキニ島に行くと思ったら ココで終わりだって
サンゴがそこそこありましたが、いっぱいいるのは、黒いモンガラばっかり
ここが、コーラルガーデンってところのようでした。
ツアーのタイトルがまぎらわしい

Good luau. Little cheesy but good food and atmosphere

Hawaii is perfect for snorkeling! I have done it many times before, but I have never had a chance to get so close to sea creatures. Molokini Island is a moon shaped underwater volcano crater and it is one of the most famous snorkeling destinations in Hawaii. Hawaiians take good care of their ocean and have many rules to obey in it and one of them in not to touch anything in the water, which I just loved, you can get as close as possible but still have to respect animals. It is very nice to see that animals are totally relaxed here and would really come close to you if you dont attempt to jump on them. We had an amazing team, we had 2 stops for snorkling and the experience was just magical. Maybe you should consider to take a heli tour around there as well, as the views from above are just amazing and give you a real chance to enjoy the moon shape of the island! I twas a fantastic tour and I totally recommend everyone to get on it!

Yam P was very good at talking and it was fun the whole time, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to bad weather. I want to try again, but I wonder when I can go... That was the only disappointing part. It was nice to stop by the Claw Lodge, visit Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and go to the supermarket as well. I'm not sure if the starry sky was affected by the weather, but it wasn't that impressive... just as I expected. I've participated in a similar sunset and starry sky tour at Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island, and that one was definitely more beautiful and moving. If I get the chance to go again, I might want to try for a redo. The guide, Yam P, was really great, so I would like to request him again!

山Ｐさんはとても話し上手でずっと楽しくて良かったのですが、肝心のサンセット、天候が悪く見れませんでした。またリベンジしたいのですが、いつ行けるのやらです。。。そこだけが残念でした。途中クラロッジに寄ったり、クリスピークリームドーナツに寄ったり、スーパーにも行けて良かったです。星空は天候のせいなのかは分かりませんが・・・感動はさほどで。。。思った通りでした。ハワイ島のキラウェア火山で同じようなサンセット＆星空ツアーに参加したことがありますが、そちらの方が断然綺麗で感動しましたよ。また行けるときがあればリベンジしようかな。ガイドの山Ｐさんはすごく良かったのでまたお願いしたいです！！

The dinner cruise was really fun and relaxing. As soon as you get on you have drinks available and the staff are really nice. The food selection was okay, nothing too spectacular. The drinks were okay as well. We got a Mai tai when we left the port and we also were given 2 more drinks throughout the cruise. It was a beautiful cruise and the sunset was gorgeous.

This was a great way to wind down our vacation trip to Maui. Very relaxing and the crew were great.

Captain Nick and the crew of the Alii Nui was outstanding! They were kind, friendly and very helpful. They all made us feel so safe and comfortable. The buffet of appetizers and the selection of drinks was impressive and made for a very pleasant afternoon. We really did not notice how many people were on board which made the atmosphere very light and cheery. It did not take long for Captain Nick to spot a mother Humpback whale and her calf frolicking off the coast. Their antics made for some awesome pictures and wonderful memories to take back home! We had a wonderful time and would love to come back and do it again!

very informative cruise! saw a lot and the captain stayed out longer due to some very interesting activity with a mother whale and 2 male whales that were creating a lot of activity above the water as well as under.

It is certainly a beautiful place, but not to the extent of being the best. Usually, I don't have much trouble with English, but I could hardly understand the English of this guide. Also, while we were in the car, he kept talking endlessly like Ichiro Furudate, but I would have appreciated a little bit of quiet time as well.

確かに美しい所だけれど、最高、という程でも無い。
普段、英語でそれほど困らないのだが、このガイドの方の英語は全く、といって良い程聞き取れなかった。また、車に乗っている間、古舘 伊知郎のように、延々としゃべり続けていたが、すこし静寂の時間も欲しかった。

Snorkel in comfort and be treated like royalty. Huge boat, plenty of room for everyone. A place to upstairs to get sun or a place downstairs to shade yourself. Clean restrooms on board. Place to change out of those wet clothes. Everything available from snorkel gear, wet suits and cameras! Lots of delicious food. Just fabulous. This is a must do if you want a great snorkel adventure.

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!

Fortunately, a Japanese guide welcomed us. We received canned juice and snacks.

Although we mostly saw whales from a distance, we were able to see a few up close. At one point, a whale splashed right next to the boat, which was thrilling.

There were several whale watching companies at Lahaina Harbor. Since it was within walking distance from our hotel, I checked the location of the counter in advance while taking a stroll, so we were able to find it easily on the day of the tour.

Seeing Maui from the sea was also a wonderful memory.

ラッキーなことに日本人ガイドさんが出迎えてくださいました。
缶ジュースとスナックをいただきました。

クジラは遠目が多かったが、何頭か見ることができました。
一度だけ船のすぐ横でしぶきをあげてくれて興奮しました。

ラハイナ港にはホエールウォッチングの会社がいくつもありました。
滞在ホテルから港まで徒歩圏だったので、事前に散歩がてら
カウンターの場所を確認しておいたので、当日は迷わず行けました。

マウイ島を海上から見ることができたのもいい思い出です。

This was a good sunset cruise. The food was decent. I would do it again.

Awesome trip! We saw lots of dolphins!
Lunch was delicious. The captain was very knowledgeable!

We had a great trip. The crew took care of all our needs. There was plenty of tasty food and endless drinks. Then at the end a free cab ride home.

After a considerable delay getting cruise ship clearance from US customs and all passengers being able to leave ship to connect with relevant Shore tours - finally able to catch up with Gus our tour driver. VELTRA and Gus so understanding re the delays and adjusted our Tour accordingly to maximise our time on island. Really appreciated. In the end we had a great day and got to see most of Road to Hanna. Got to appreciate true beauty of the countryside with good and relevant commentary and time spent at relevant places of interest. Banana bread was good too!!

I had heard the rumors, but I was truly satisfied with the wonderful guide☆ They created a fun atmosphere and their attentiveness was top-notch. There were also some touching stories, which made it even better. Next time, if the opportunity arises, I would like to bring my family along. Thank you very much.

噂には聞いておりましたが、
本当に素敵なガイドさんで大満足でした☆
楽しい雰囲気にしてくれますし、
気配りも最高。
そして感動する話もあって最高でした。
次回、ご縁があれば、家族を連れていきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I used this for my honeymoon. Although we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to strong winds, we enjoyed the incredibly beautiful sea. If there's a next time, I will definitely repeat this!

新婚旅行で利用しました。風が強くてモロキニ島には行けませんでしたが、最高に綺麗な海を満喫しました。次回があればまたリピートします！

Larry the tour guide talked way to much. He pointed out every leaf and flower we passed by and then when he started talking about his personal life half way through the tour i really just wanted to get off somewhere. It would have been nice to be able to talk to my husband about the things we seen and point out to each other but Larry was talking so loud we couldn't even here each other. And it wasn't just us that didn't like not being able to talk to each other most other couples sitting near us thought the same. But some of the information we hears about was interesting but most was just nonsense . And also would have been nice to know that we couldn't go swimming. We and alot of other couples wore their swim suits under our clothes and if we would have known that we weren't going swimming we would have wore more comfortable clothing for that long ride. Next time instead of a tour we will take the road to haha on our own in a rental car.

It was a great cruise. We both enjoyed the meal and the music was phenomenal. We met another couple we were sitting with and had a great conversation. We definitely recommend this dinner cruise to anyone who visits Maui!!

We had a great experience! The waterfalls at the original hike were not flowing due to not enough rain so our guide took us to some alternate falls and they were amazing! The road to Hana was breath taking!!

The first stop where the boat docked was at the center of a crescent-shaped island, where we snorkeled. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and we saw many tropical fish.

At the second stop, we were able to see a large sea turtle up close. Both times, we had plenty of time to relax and float around in the sea.

Breakfast, lunch, and alcoholic drinks were provided, and the food service was satisfying. There were three types of local beer from Maui. There were also cocktails available. All-you-can-drink! The beer after playing in the sea was delicious, a delight for beer lovers.

It seemed that there were a total of 140 participants on the same boat, but there were only us and one other family as Japanese participants. The Japanese female guide was polite and taught us various things, and she was also very approachable, which was really nice.

船が止まる一箇所目、三日月の形の島の中身の部分で、まずシュノーケル。とてもきれいな海で、南国の魚をたくさん見れました。

二箇所目で、大きいウミガメを近くで見れました。
2回とも十分時間を取ってくれて、のんびり海で浮かんで遊べました。

朝食、昼食、アルコールも飲めて、食のサービスも満足でした。
マウイ島の地ビールは3種類ありました。カクテル？もありました。飲み放題！海で遊んだあとのビール美味しかったです、ビール好きにはたまらないです。

総勢を140名の参加者が同じ船に乗っていたようですが、
日本人参加者は私達と、もうひと組の家族のみ。
日本人女性のガイドさんが丁寧で色々教えてくださり、また話しやすい感じの良い方だったので、それもすごく良かったです。

Gary, our tour guide, was fun and very knowledgeable about the island he grew up on and shared with us. Good time and good company.

This hike takes you through the rainforest side of Maui. Our guide, Sarah, was very knowledgeable. She was able to answer our questions about the plants and animals along our hike. The waterfalls were beautiful. The jumps into the pools were a lot of fun and the guides gave good instruction on jumping which made me feel confident. The food was substantial for the duration of the hike. We were provided bananas and pineapple, both which were delicious. I had the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which was hearty for a PB&J. My husband had the turkey sandwich, and the slice of turkey was surprisingly thick making for a filling meal. Take advantage of the bug spray they provide. My husband didn't get bit, while I, not being as diligent with coverage, got a few bites. This was the last activity we decided to add to our itinerary and it turned out to be our favorite tour of our vacation.

The Pride of Maui Molokini Snorkel Cruise was a great snorkel package. There were two snorkel locations, provided meal, drinks, miscellaneous items available to use or rent (see below), and the information from the optional 5-minute class gave some useful tips for the subsequent snorkeling we later did on our own on our trip.

The waters by Molokini were so clear, it was unbelievable how far through the water you can see. Turtle Town waters were less clear than Molokini but had more varied sea life. Whales were breaching along our path to the crater.

I wasn't expecting much from the barbecue but it was surprisingly tasty and filling. They offered neoprene suits to rent. A variety of underwater camera and camera accessories could be rented. Waist floatation and noodles were available for use. Environmentally-friendly sunscreen was also provided. There was a life guard nearby who would let you know when a turtle was in the area at Turtle Town. The slide on the boat was also fun.
