Maui
We loved our combo (Helicopter/Van) tour of Hana. It is the best way to do it. It is a rather long but beautiful drive to/from Hana so taking a helicopter one way and seeing the sights including Haleakala is best of both worlds. Our guide Scott Ferguson (Scotty) was terrific. He was fun, informative and engaging. The Hana area is so beautiful. Hint: if you plan to swim I suggest you bring reef shoes. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed the setting and the food was also very good the show was good but the food and the setting were the best for us.
The show can be enjoyed in a very atmospheric location. You can appreciate not only the dancers' performances but also the production itself. Additionally, the view from the stage backdrop is beautiful, allowing you to enjoy a meal while watching a lovely sunset. I've been to other luau shows, but the food at this luau was the most delicious I've ever had. I recommend opting for the seating style where you sit on the floor instead of at a table; it's more enjoyable to watch from closer to the stage!
ショーはとても雰囲気の良い場所で見る事ができます。
ダンサーの踊りはもちろん、演出も楽しめます。
またステージバックの景色はとても美しく、綺麗なサンセットを見ながらの食事ができます。
他のルアウショーも良く観に行きますが、ここのルアウショーの食事は今までで一番美味しかったです。
オススメは、イステーブル席ではなく、床に座るスタイルの席にして、ステージ近くで見る方が楽しめますよ!
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。
Great way to see Hana. Lots of fun. Very beautiful. Our guide Scotty was fantastic. Highly recommend.
Great captain, great boat, and great crew. This was a great family experience for us.
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 location and atmosphere were great, and the show started just as the sunset was ending. Before the show began, we could participate in various experiences and watch demonstrations; the children got to try playing the puili instrument. I observed the process of peeling coconuts and hollowing out the nata de coco part, and I tasted it. It felt similar to Paradise Cove Luau on Oahu, but the food here was definitely more delicious. The kalua pork and beef steak were tastier than I expected. The show featured a lot of traditional hula (kahiko), which I enjoyed. However, I was disappointed that the male dancers did not have the robust physiques typical of Native Hawaiians and that there was no fire dance, which I was looking forward to the most. The total duration of the show was about an hour, which felt a bit short compared to the three-hour time commitment. On the plus side, it allowed for a leisurely meal. Overall, it was a neutral experience.
場所も雰囲気も良く、サンセットが終わりかける頃から始まるショー。
ショーが始まる前には様々な体験をしたりデモンストレーションを見学することができ、子供たちはプイリという楽器の体験をしました。私はココナッツを剥いて?ナタデココの部分をくり抜く作業を見学し、その味見をしました。
オアフ島のパラダイスコーブルアウと似た感じでした。
が、食事は断然こちらの方が美味しかったです。
カルアポークやビーフステーキは思った以上のおいしさでした。
ショーの内容は、古典フラ(カヒコ)が多く、これは私の好みでした。
男性ダンサーの体つきが、ネイティブハワイアンの様な厚みのある肉体で無く、案外華奢だったのとファイアダンスが無かったのが残念でした。これが一番楽しみだったので。
ショーの時間は全て合わせて1時間程度で、所要時間3時間に対して短めかなという印象を受けました。その分ゆっくり食事はできますが。
なので、可もなく不可もなくといった感じでした。
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!
Waited sence I was a kid to go on that tour, my grandmother went on it in 2000 and it was worth the wait got to experience a lot of ocean life. And the people doing the tour were great.
The day was spent in a most enjoyable way.
We started on time and went to first snorkeling spot after about one hour cruise. Since we left at 700 am, (early in the morning) they gave us good breakfast. The water is blue and beautiful. We saw some flying fish while sailing which I got amazed. They have wings(?!), come out of water, fly for about three feet above the surface and go into water. It was amazing to see a fish with wings. They clearly flew and not just jump in and out of water.
The captain gave a 5 min lesson on snorkeling 101. It was full of very helpful tips and this greatly helped to snorkel without fear. The gears were provided. By the end of the day I became an expert. This is an example, how useful the people are to help you whatever you need in the trip.
The snorkeling part was very enjoyable and after about one hour, we were allowed to jump into the ocean from the second level of the cruise ship via a slide. That was so cool.
Next we went to a second place and we got to see lots of turtles. Some turtles came to top of water, so you can see them from the boat. We snorkeled and also jumped into water from the second level of cruise via slide for about one hour. It was fun. Lots of foods, drinks were given. We returned by 200 pm. What a day to spend.
Before boarding, the morning view of Lahaina was very calm and beautiful. After checking in, we moved by boat to board the submarine, but it can sway a lot, so if you're prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. Since I was the only one participating alone, I was prompted to board the submarine from the back, which made me feel quite conscious as I had to peek in from one window with several people. If you join with friends, a partner, or family, I think you can enjoy it together from one window. The dolphins swam around the submarine, and I was very happy because I had hoped to see them. Next time I go to Maui, I will participate with my husband.
Was photography prohibited inside the submarine? I'm not sure if there was an explanation about that beforehand... After taking a few pictures, I noticed many people staring at me, which made me wonder if it was not allowed. If it was indeed prohibited, I apologize and will delete them.
乗船前、朝のラハイナの景色もとても穏やかできれいでした
受付のあと、潜水艦に乗船するまで船で移動しますが、大きく揺れることがあるので、船酔いが心配な方は事前に酔い止めを飲んだほうが良いと思います
1人参加は私だけだったためか、最後尾で潜水艦に乗るよう促されましたが、何人かで1つの窓からのぞき込む感じで、すごく気を遣いました
友達や夫婦、家族で一緒に参加すれば、1つの窓で一緒に楽しめると思います
イルカたちがくるくると潜水艦の周辺を泳いでくれました
イルカに会えたらいいなと思っていたので、とてもうれしかったです
次回マウイに行く時は、主人と一緒に参加します
潜水艦内では写真撮影禁止だったのでしょうか?
事前にそういった説明があったかどうか、分からないのですが・・・
数枚撮影したら、たくさんの人にじろじろ見られたので、あれ?ダメだったのかな?と気になりました
もし撮影禁止だったらすみません、破棄します
Have used pacific whale foundation in past for sunset cruises but decided to try this company for a change. We had steak menu which was delicious apart from the fact that no choice was given on how you prefered the steak cooked. Only first drink served at table other drinks were served at bar. The tables and seats were packed in close and the chairs bolted to floor. It was really difficult to get in and out of chairs to go to bar. Overall staff were pleasant and entertainment ok but if we were to choose a dinner cruise again it would not be on the princess. Sorry guys but I know we were on the ocean but we ain't sardines
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!
Good food, friendly staff, fantastic views and entertaining music.... drinks and dance were an added plus. Last minute booking worked out very well. Book early to ensure a shittle space... We drove and enjoyed quaint town shops before and after cruise... we'd do it again!
We had a great time on this cruise. Everything about it went basically as planned. We went to two different snorkeling spots where we had an hour or a little more to swim around checking out the coral reef and the marine life. In the beginning, they had a little breakfast that included muffins, fruits and different types of juice. After the first snorkeling spot, they made chicken breasts, hot dogs and burgers patties for lunch which were also very good. They didn't have KETCHUP!!! Which was a pretty big bummer, but the food was good and there was plenty of it. They also handed out bags of chips and pretty much everyone was able to get a second bag. The best part about the cruise was the dolphins that we saw. We spent about 20-30 minutes watching a pack of dolphins swim around and with out boat. They got up so close, it was amazing. My nephew and I sat at the front of the boat and actually got yelled at by the captain, but it was definitely worth it because my feet were about 10 feet away from touching the dolphins they were so close. Then at the last snorkeling spot, we got to swim with sea turtles (only noticed one when I was swimming but it did get pretty close), and a 6 foot long shark that was laying underneath the wreckage we were snorkeling above. It was pretty awesome and scary all at the same time. The shark was sleeping (or dead) because it didn't move and there was no danger, but I still didn't want to take my eyes off him! The boat provided the snorkel equipment including the liquid to keep your goggles clear. There is also a slide that goes off the side of the boat which was really fun to go off of! The crew ended the cruise with a free alcoholic beverage for each adult over 21 years old, and it was very tasty and had a lot of alcohol in it! I believe this was well worth the money.
The helicopter ride was fantastic, the Hana road trip was rushed, not really any swimming time and stuck with a family that had a kid throwing up all the time. Very unpleasant. Driver Gary was not the most amiable person.
This was a fun boat trip for the family. The captain was knowledgeable and we saw many dolphins. That was probably the highlight of the trip. Due to rougher waters, we snorkeled in some different areas than normal. One was one a reef off of Lanai and the other was over a ship that had been sunk in deeper waters. The reef was Okay, but we saw more fish and more variety of sea life snorkeling off the beaches. The ship was too deep to dive to so pretty much we were just floating above it. The breakfast and lunch was good and there was plenty of food.
Zipline course itself was awesome
Beautiful view!
Guides were friendly
This was done nicely. The dancers were so elegant and the history was informative. Finally the vendors were so nice and showed great craftsmanship.
Fantastic! Food was great, service was awesome and the whole experience was terrific. A very traditional Hawaiian Luau.
It was good, not great. Show was good. Food was good. Seating was tight and overall it was a little over-priced.
I researched various blogs in advance, and I highly recommend this for those visiting Lahaina on Maui. The staff's service, the hula dancers, and the food were all satisfying!! Definitely check out Old Lahaina Luau.
事前に色々なブログを参考に決めましたが、マウイ島ラハイナに行かれる方にはオススメです。
スタッフの対応、フラダンサー、食事、全てが満足でした!!是非、オールドラハイナルアウへ。
I had this tour in the evening after visiting Molokini Island in the morning, and I was surprised to find out it was the same boat! Our Japanese female guide, Takako, was also surprised! We were able to have a lot of fun conversations and spent a wonderful time together! The dinner buffet was delicious too! I might definitely come back!
朝からモロキニ島で夕方からこのツアーでしたが、行ってビックリ!同じ船でした(笑)
日本人女性ガイドのタカコさんもビックリ!
いろいろと楽しいお話もでき、素敵な時間が過ごせました!ディナーブッフェも美味しかったです!
こちらリピ確定かも!
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
