Maui
The crew was knowledgeable and the captain found some great whale locations. We saw quite a few breaches and other amazing whale activities.
However, the boat we went out with was their dinner boat and did not include the advertised hydrophones or binoculars. Had we known this, we might have booked a less expensive excursion that also didn't have these items.
Loved this! We learned so much about whales and so many whales. Definitely would recommend and do it again!
I participated in this on my honeymoon. I was able to see more whales up close than I expected, and I was very satisfied. The closest whale was about 90 meters away. I got to see the head of a baby whale about 20 times. (It's said that seeing so many is quite rare.) A Japanese guide also joined us on the boat. They explained the ecology of the whales and told us which direction the whales were located.
We were supposed to gather 30 minutes before departure, but it was a bit tough waiting in the blazing sun for those 30 minutes. I thought it might have been okay to step out of line and wait in the shade until we set sail.
新婚旅行で参加しました。思った以上にたくさんのクジラを近くで見ることができ、大満足です。クジラは一番近くて90メートル先にいるのを見ることができました。子クジラの頭を20回ほど見ることができました。（こんなにたくさん見れるのは滅多にないそうです）日本語のガイドさんも一緒に乗船してくれました。クジラの生態の説明をしてくれたり、今どの方向にクジラがいるのかを教えてくれたりしました。
船が出航する30分前に集合だったのですが、30分間炎天下の中並んで待ったのでそれが少し大変でした。出航するまでは少し列から外れて日陰で待っても大丈夫だったのでは…と思いました。

The morning trip was fully booked, so I reserved the afternoon trip. I saw a lot of whales, but it didn't feel like we were very close to them. The meeting place is a grassy area along Kaanapali Beach with just the company's sign, which might be a bit hard to find. It's recommended for those staying in the Kaanapali area since you can walk there. You board the boat from the beach, but the waves can be quite strong, so you will get soaked; it's necessary to take precautions to keep your smartphone dry. On the boat, they served sandwiches and chips. Drinks, including Maui beer, cocktails, and soft drinks, were unlimited. The tour was in English, but there were no particular inconveniences. Both the captain and the staff were very kind. I brought along a senior with mobility issues, and all the staff helped with boarding and disembarking the boat, for which I am very grateful. However, I think it would be better for those with mobility issues to avoid this trip.
午前便は満員で乗れず午後便予約しました
クジラも沢山見れましたが凄く近くで見れるって感じではありませんでした。
集合場所はカアナパリビーチ沿いで会社の看板だけたっている芝生の広場です。少しわかりずらいかも。
カアナパリ地区に宿泊している方には歩いて行けるしオススメです。
船にはビーチから乗るのですが、波も結構あるので全身濡れます、スマホ等濡れないよう対策必要です。
船上ではサンドウィッチやポテチが出ました。
飲み物もマウイビールやカクテル、ソフトドリンクと飲み放題です。
英語でのツアーでしたが特に不便はありません。
船長スタッフともにとても親切でした。
足の悪いシニアを連れて行ったのですが船の乗り降りも全スタッフで手伝っていただきとても感謝しています。
ただ、足腰の悪い方は船の乗り降りが大変なのでやめた方がいいと思いますw

We had a great time and would definitely do this again. Staff was fun and friendly knowledgeable. Great time!! Would recommend this to anyone thinking about doing this while in Maui.
We had such a great time on this cruise! The bottomless drinks were awesome, the appetizers were delicious, the crew was incredibly friendly and knowledgable, and the scenery, whales, and sunset were breathtaking. I would take this tour again for sure!
As soon as we headed out to sea, we were able to see three young whales swimming near the surface for a long time. One of them performed a dynamic breach.
I'm glad I could park the rental car in the free parking lot. There were many cars parked on the street, and if the parking lot had been full, I might not have made it to the meeting on time...
沖に出てすぐに、3頭の若いクジラが水面近くで長い時間泳いでるのが見れました。その中の一頭がダイナミックにブリーチングしてくれました。
無料駐車場にレンタカー停められてよかったです。路駐してる車が多くて、駐車場がいっぱいだったら集合に間に合わなかったかも、、、

Friendly, very well guided, happy feelings. *** you are the BEST***
Absolutely wonderful -- the food, the company, the show -- all were impressive. Even the teen son was smiling:)
Our family absolutely loved this sunset cruise. The food and crew was amazing!!!
It was awesome! Was the best and we would do it again tomorrow!
The view was beautiful, the food was good, and the crew was very friendly. However, the boat and experience was not as advertised. The boat was dirty and old, which put a dampener on the atmosphere. From the description, it sounds like you're going on a "high class" cruise in Maui. Instead, you're sitting on plastic outdoor chairs with sticky vinyl tablecloths. We didn't feel it was worth the cost. We did get beautiful sunset photos though.
The second time was the best. Dinner was great service and staff were excellent Chris the frist mate was also great. Our kids loved and it was romantic thank you will do again next time we come.
Had such a great time. It was so much fun. Would do it again.
Your guide was the best. He knew the name of every tree flower and bush. He knew the story behind the water falls and how they feed the water system. It was a fun journey. Unfortunately we could not return on the helicopter because it was too windy and raining. Veltra was quick to give us a refund for the helicopter. This is the way to go if you want to see Hana and all the sights.
As the season was coming to an end, I thought it might not be possible, and indeed, I couldn't see them. The staff kept searching around the sea, but it seems they weren't nearby.
However, I did receive a proper refund. I want to try again next time, so I gave it two stars with hope.
シーズンが終わりに近づいていたので、もしかしたらだめかも、と思っていましたが、やはり、見れませんでした。
ずっと海原をまわって、スタッフの片は探し続けてくれていましたが、近くにいなかったようです。
しかし、きちんと返金はしてもらえました。
次回チャレンジしたいので、期待をこめて星2つにしました。

Great trip. Excellent crew, music, food and drinks! Would definitely recommend.
I have seen a few hula shows, but the luau show at the Marriott had seats that were close to the stage and directly in front, which was wonderful! There were about 300 to 400 audience members, and we were the only two Japanese people there, but it was a lovely night show.
何度かフラショーは観ていますがマリオットでのルアウショーは座席が舞台に近く真正面で素敵でした！
観客は３００～４００名程度で日本人は私たち２名だけでしたが
素敵なナイトショーでした。

Classic and Classy. A must do on your list with spectacular beach side venue with perfect sunset view.
The staff were very kind, asking each person about drinks, sandwiches, and chips. It was also fun to encounter a whale and even a pod of dolphins by chance.
スタッフの方は飲み物やサンドイッチ、チップスなども1人ずつ聞いて回り、とても親切な対応でした。クジラや偶然イルカの群れにも遭遇でき楽しかったです。

I don't understand English at all, but I was relieved that the tour details were provided in advance. However, on that day, the weather was bad with strong winds, and it rained partway through. The yacht was swamped by waves, and several passengers, including myself, experienced seasickness. The crew's response was good. We were able to see whales, so overall, I was satisfied with the experience.
英語は全く分かりませんが、ツアー内容を予め教えておいて頂けたので安心でした。ただこの日は悪天候で風が強く途中で雨も降り、ヨットは波にのまれ、私を含め乗客の数人が船酔いを起こしてしました。乗務員の対応はよかったです。クジラも見ることが出来て内容的には満足です。

Fabulous Show! Everyone was so nice and went out of their way for our special occasion
This was a tour I was looking forward to on my first trip to Maui with my eldest son. It was a morning tour, and we were able to see a mother and baby whale at quite a close distance, which got us both very excited. I thought it would have been helpful to have an explanation about the parking, but I would like to participate again when I visit Maui next time.
今回、長男と2人で初めてのマウイ島旅行で楽しみにしていたツアーでした。朝からのツアーでしたが結構近い距離でクジラの親子を見ることができ、親子で大興奮でした。駐車場の説明があると助かったなぁと思いましたが、またマウイ島に行った時には参加したいと思います。

Susan was awesome and very informative. Lunch was great. Mike was a great pilot with the helicopter. When he was explaining areas he would say our names to make it more personable. I would do this again. Very happy Temptation tours and Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours. You get a ten.
Amazing experience ! Food was great, the host was funny and the whole thing was just so much fun !
This was a very nice and romantic evening. We loved the food and atmosphere. It was a tad bit windy for flowey dresses, but several areas to get out of the wind if necessary.
We had such a wonderful time snorkeling something I've never done before the staff was great and put you at ease about going out into the water. They were out there watching you making sure you'll ok. seeing the turtle was awesome. The lunch was good. Would definitely recommend this not to mention the beautiful scenery you will see. The staff is knowledgeable about the islands. Loved it!! Definitely do this!!
This was the 2nd time I seen this Luau, and I must say that it was just as beautiful as the first time. I highly recommend this luau to anyone even if you have seen others. I was able to get there early enough to see the pig get unveiled and walk around the amazing area. Every person there from serving food/drinks to greeters are extremely polite and always smiling. This was a perfect night!
This was the best Laua I have been to in 50 years. The setting was very romantic, the people were attentive, the drinks were freshly made and the food was terrific! We had plenty of room at our table to eat and watch the amazing show. The food was prepared in the traditional Hawaiin style and tasted delicious. The pre-show was fun and educational. I'll be back!
We had a fantastic time! The captain and crew were so nice. The kids had a blast. I would definitely recommend the snorkel trip to Lanai!!!
