All Reviews for @Things to do near your resort

I was relieved to find a Japanese person at the reception.
Inside the submarine, there is a tape with guidance in Japanese.
The day before, the waves were high, so the water was a bit murky, but I was still very satisfied to see the coral fish.

受付に日本人がいるので安心しました。
潜水艦内は日本語の案内音声のテープになります。
前日波が高かったので少し濁っていましたが、それでもコーラルフィッシュが見れて大変満足でした。

The sunset sail was very good, better than others I've done. Definitely wasn't live music and booking online doesn't allow for a kamaʻāina discount, once I got to the front desk I was told they did offer 25% but I couldn't get it since there wasn't a way to do it online.. 5 of us went so perhaps someone could figure that out on your end?
Otherwise the excursion itself was great even saw doplhins swim along the boat!

My husband and I took this cruise last Friday night . It was the perfect way to end our stay in Maui. We were staying at a condo right next to the harbor where the boat departed, so super convenient for us. Some people were caught in a lot of traffic coming from Lahaina that night and, although the ship waited for a while still didn’t make it. This was unfortunate for those people because they missed out on a really great experience. It was good for us because there was only half the number of people aboard...more room to move around,. It was like a private excursion l The staff was top notch,super attentive, the entertainment wonderful.The crew puts on a hula show, the food and drinks were excellent. Had my Hawaii drink all night, lava flow. Sunsets and views amazing!!

The location of the luau was perfect for us because it was close. The resort itself is breathtaking and immaculate. We were a party of 12 with 2 young kids and were seated right away. There were several activities for everyone before it got started. We took tons of pictures, most of them being the beautiful sunset. They singing, dancing and overall production was very entertaining. The delicious food and open bar were the icing on the cake. Overall, everyone in our party had a great time.

Everything was amzing! We loved it. Saw multiple species of dolphins, snorkeling was great

It was a very satisfying activity.
【Experience Details】
We had plenty of time to see fish and turtles at two spots. On the way there, we encountered a pod of dolphins and even saw them spin. At each spot, we saw many fish, and we were able to see six turtles and an octopus as well. However, since I participated at the beginning of July, there were some areas where the water was a bit cold. This might have been due to a typhoon approaching a few days later.
On the way back, it was a great experience to enjoy a hearty barbecue chicken while sailing.
【Others】
We were the only Japanese couple, but the staff were all cheerful and friendly sea men and women who interacted with us warmly. The other participants were mainly families and couples. The explanations in English were delivered quite quickly, so honestly, it was hard for me to catch everything, but I think it’s fine as long as you mimic those around you (laughs). I was worried on the day of the activity because I completely forgot about the reconfirmation phone call the day before, but it turned out to be okay.
Also, I gave a tip of $20 to one person when disembarking (the others around me did the same).

Overall, it was a very satisfying activity.

とても満足のアクティビティでした。
【体験内容】
スポット2箇所でたっぷりの時間で魚や亀を見ることができました。
行きの船ではイルカの群れに出会い、スピンも見れました。
スポット各々で、たくさんの魚を見れ、亀も6匹、タコも見ることができました。
一方、7月頭の参加でしたが、少し水が冷たい箇所もありました。数日後に台風が迫っていたことが理由かもしれません。
帰りはセーリングで帰りながらボリューミーな鶏肉のバーベキューを食べるのも良い体験でした。
【その他】
日本人は我々夫婦のみでしたが、スタッフは皆海の男&女で爽やかに明るい方々で、気さくに接ししていただきました。
我々の他はご家族やカップルが中心でした。
説明など英語はかなりスピーディに話されるので、得意でないわたしには正直聞き取るのは無理でしたが、基本周りの真似をしていれば大丈夫かと思います（笑）
前日リコンファームで電話ということでしたが、完全に忘れており当日心配しておりましたが、大丈夫でした。
また、チップは、下船時にお一人に20ドルをお渡ししました（周囲の方も同様な形でした）

総じて大満足のアクティビティでした。

A few days before our arrival, it had snowed on Maui, and on the day of the luau, there was quite heavy rain, leading us to think it might be canceled. However, it stopped for a while, so the event went ahead. Unfortunately, it started pouring again, and they handed out rain ponchos. The food ended up getting soaked, and it was quite cold, making it uncomfortable to sit for long periods. Many guests left early. The performers' voices also seemed to tremble at times... While we can't control the weather, overall, it wasn't a show that matched the price.

到着数日前には雪の降ったマウイ島、ルアウ当日も結構強い雨でキャンセルになるかと思いきや、一時止んだのでそのまま決行になりました。でも途中からは結構な降りでビニールカッパが配られましたが、料理はびしょぬれでかなり寒く座っているのがつらい感じになり、中座するゲストも相当数いました。出演者の歌声も時々震えてる感じで・・・天気はコントロールできないとは言っても、総合的に見て価格に見合うショーではありませんでした。

I was visiting Maui for a week and a cruise sounded like a great experience for my trip. The ship itself is very old and outdated, the seats are very snug and you sit across from a couple that you do not know. Thankfully we sat across from two very nice and friendly people. I had the roasted chicken and it was dry. The drinks were not good, very watered down and didn’t taste as they should have. Well over priced and do not recommend.

Great sunset cruise. Sunset was beautiful. Food was excellent. The staff and musician made it even better! We loved it!!!

Rain is unpredictable I get that. But after a rainstorm and all the food is soaked, why would you ask how your food was and if you’re done? Have a backup plan please! I would’ve paid $50 a person instead of what I paid.

The people we’re really friendly. They teaches us how to snorkel properly. The only thing that sounded bad was that one of the worker not the captain but the one under him. Was calling a guy names because the was scared to get in the water that’s not rite he was calling him cupcake, fruitcake that’s just bulling to me

We loved the show it was amazing will do it again if we go to Maui. The food was amazing i ate a lot lol. Just need to get better looking girls and guys their aight but you guys can do a little better no offense

Great dinner and show plenty to eat service was spectacular and show was awesome recommend it to others they start you off with cocktails and allow you to walk around the grounds also show you how the pig is roasted before the meal very informative

This was wonderful experience! Captain Ryan and his crew were nothing less than fantastic! Saw hundreds of dolphins (only because of Captain Ryan’s experience), humpback whale and calf and the snorkeling was incredible. The whole crew was very friendly and made us feel at ease! Will definitely book again!

Shout out to Shane, our tour guide. My girlfriend and i had a blast on the ziplines. The course had amazing views of the islands. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and made us feel safe. We can’t wait to do it again!

Had a great time, good food, good drinks, good time

The crew on the boat was great, funny, helpful and knowledgeable.
The reef area the boat drove to and parked in was prettt boring. We saw maybe 4 types of fish and didnt travel anywhere else.
The diver brought a lot of neat things by the boat.

I thought I would encounter them a bit more, but I only finally found them towards the end. It was great to see them up close, but I do think the timing was off. I would like to try again someday.

もう少し遭遇できるのかなと思っていましたが、最後の方でやっと見つかったくらい。
近くで見れたのは良かったけど、やはり時季が悪かったのかなと思います。
いつかリトライしたいかな

Since the cruise was on April 13th, I was worried that there might not be any whales left. But they found them for us! We were able to see a mother and her calf, along with a male whale chasing after the mother. It turns out this male is not the father, just a pursuer. The mother whale is busy raising her calf and has no interest in him, yet he persistently follows her. Well, it might be nice to have him around like a bodyguard.

Thanks to our Japanese guide, Taka, who provided humorous and detailed explanations, we had a wonderful time. Maui has many surrounding islands, so the water is shallow and there are fewer sharks. This is why whales can safely give birth here. However, there aren't many fish in this area, so the mother whale is sacrificing her own body to feed her calf. Once the calf is big enough, they return to the rich feeding grounds of the Alaskan seas.

I really understood why there are so many whales in Maui, and I’m so glad I chose this cruise. Thank you, Taka!! And thank you, Veltra!!

４月１３日のクルーズだったので、もうクジラはいないかと不安でした。でもちゃんと見つけてくれました！一組の親子と、そのお母さんを追いかけるオスのくじらを観ることができました。このオスはお父さんではないそうです。ただのおっかけ。お母さんくじらは子育てで忙しいのでその気はないのに、しくこく追っかけてくるそうです。まぁ、ボディガードみたいでいいのかもしれませんね。
日本人のガイドのタカさんのユーモアあふれる詳しい説明のおかげで、楽しいひと時を送らせていただきました。
マウイは周りに島が多いので水深が浅く、さめが少ないとのこと。だからくじらはここで安心して出産が出来るそうです。でもこのあたりは餌となる魚が少ないのでお母さんくじらは身を削って子供におっぱいをあげているそうです。
子供が十分大きくなったら餌の豊富なアラスカの海に帰っていくそうです。
マウイ島にくじらが多い訳もわかり、本当にこのクルーズにして良かったと思いました。
タカさんありがとう！！
そしてベルトラさんありがとう！！

The show while enjoying delicious food and drinks at a table right in front of the ocean with a beautiful starry sky was amazing! The Kahiko and Tahitian hula performances were very impressive.

The buffet is served in order by table, and drinks are all-you-can-drink. You will be asked to show your passport when ordering alcohol, but it wasn't necessary after the second time.

It gets quite windy at night, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket! You can enjoy the food, scenery, and show for about three hours.

海が目の前の席で星空も綺麗な中、美味しい料理とドリンクをいただきながらのショーは最高でした！カヒコとタヒチ、フラと見ごたえたっぷりです。
席ごとにビュッフェは順番に案内され、ドリンクは飲み放題です。お酒を頼む時にパスポートの提示を求められますが、2回目以降は特に必要ありませんでした。
夜は風が強いので上着はあった方がいいです！
料理に景色にショーと約3時間、たっぷり楽しめ
ます。

The food was great. The show was good. The staff was wonderful. The only drawback was that we had to stand up at the back in order to see anything as our seats were so far away and angled so that the people next to us completely blocked our view!

Good , but wish it had a little different scenery to zipline. I thought some of them seemed the same., more water and less forest views.

Wonderful music and very good food! Friendly attentive staff!

I was moved to see whale breaches multiple times near the shore of Maui Island about an hour after departing from Lahaina Harbor at noon on April 7. I later heard from a local instructor that every year, from winter to early spring, 3,000 whales come all the way from Alaska to this area for calving and raising their young.

４月７日のお昼12時にラハイナ港を出航してから、1時間が経つころにマウイ島の岸辺のすぐ近くでクジラのブリッジを何度も見ることができ感動しました。地元インストラクターの人から、あとから聞いたことですが、毎年冬から春先にかけて3000頭のクジラがお産や子育てのために、この地にはるばるアラスカからやってくるんですって。

great experience. we would go gain thanks hawai activities . have a nice day

The hula itself was amazing. I still find myself mesmerized while looking at the videos I took. The meals were also more than sufficient, and the staff was very considerate. However, there were only Japanese people around, and while the family seated next to us spoke to us, I still felt awkward due to the language barrier. I can't help but think that it would be nice to have a show where you can purely enjoy the hula.

フラ自体は最高でした。今でも撮りためたビデオを眺めてうっとりしています。また食事も必要十分であり、スタッフもいろいろと気遣ってもらえました。ただ日本人は自分たちしかおらず、同じ席に着いた家族には声をかけてもらったりもしたのですがやはり言葉の壁で気まずい思いをしました。なんというか純粋にフラだけを楽しめるショーはないものかと思っています。

I participated because it was said to be a limited-time event, and I was able to see whales beyond my expectations. The Japanese guide also took us to a good spot for viewing and was very friendly, which made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. If you're going whale watching, I definitely recommend going with a Japanese guide.

期間限定でしか見られないとのことだったので参加しましたが、期待以上にクジラを見ることができました。また日本語ガイドの方に見やすい船頭まで案内していただき、気さくに声がけもしてもらえたので十分堪能することができました。ホエールウォッチングをするなら断然日本語ガイド付きの方がよいと思います。

Incredible service provided by Steve and Mario!! Loved the overall experience.

The show was great. The food was decent as well. It was a nice experience for my wife and three teen daughters. Mahalo!

This was well worth it. It was a great trip, whales came right up to the boat to say hi. Great pictures even for amateur photographers.
