After a long search we found the ticket booth and looked for a boat. The boat arrives from the previous lunch cruise. After a quick cleanup we were allowed to board. We were then escorted up a metal ladder to the top deck. Remember you have to climb a ladder to get to the top deck. Once seated at very uncomfortable wooden seats with strangers you are given a free drink. Dinner arrives later. The dinner is good. A man sings and plays guitar as you enjoy your dinner. If you later need to use a restroom they are on the lower deck, are old disgusting marine toilets and not at all clean. The view of the Maui coastline is beautiful. I can't imagine what happens if it rains. No shelter. Not at all worth $ 200 plus dollars. Not sure how old the boat is but it sure looks it.

The crew and the captain were awesome! The issue that makes this review only good is the photographer. After talking with him in length on the boat that we were interested in purchasing photo package, he stuck to others on the boat for majority of photos. Great honeymoon experience with no photos to look back on!

My husband and I had a fantastic time on the sunset dinner cruise!
Honestly, we were happy to be on the ocean and enjoy the beautiful sunset. We were pleasantly surprised with the dinner, drinks, and excellent service. The crew was friendly, helpful, and just fantastic—especially the captain who went over and beyond finding whales for us to see. The singer/guitar player was outstanding. We enjoyed dancing on the bough of the boat.
Thank you for helping to make our first trip to Maui more memorable!

The crew was very friendly, fun, informative, and made this a safe experience for all. The food was delicious! One of the divers showed us rare sea life and the captain spotted whales for us to see. Although we weren’t able to go to Molokini Crater due to weather conditions (we could see this from Coral Gardens that it would be rough that way), we still had an incredible experience. We saw tons of sea life, got great pictures, and had terrific hospitality. Highly recommend this charter!
Aloha Kimberly,
Thank you for your review! I'm happy to read that you had an incredible experience with us on board the Four Winds II! We appreciate the recommendation and we hope to see you on board with us again next time you vacation on Maui!

The Maui Princess cruise was exceptional- the food was fantastic and captain, service and performer were terrific. We were especially surprised that the food was of great quality and served just right. We had the prime rib and the Mahi Mahi. Both were perfect! The captain stopped for some whale sittings. Would highly recommend supported this cruise as they were off for 11 months and now only go out Wednesday’s- this was their forth sailing since reopening. Highly recommend this for any occasion!

This is my third time at the Old Lahaina Luau, and I enjoy it every time because the quality of the performances is high. The food is delicious, and I'm happy with the unlimited alcohol and the desserts that are more than enough to eat. This time, when I tried to give a tip to the waiter, I was told, "It's included in the price," and they declined. I'm very satisfied with the banana bread as a souvenir.
3度目のオールド・ラハイナ・ルアウですが、パフォーマンスのクオリティが高いので毎回楽しんでいます。料理も美味しく、食べきれないほどのデザートと、飲み放題のアルコールも嬉しいですし、今回ウェイターにチップを渡そうとしたら「料金に含まれている」と言って断られました。お土産のバナナブレッド付きで大満足です。

I would have preferred a Japanese guide. Also, after the big jump right in front of us, we were able to see the baby whale do about 10 small jumps over the course of 30 minutes, which was better than I imagined.

We had a Japanese guide with us, and we were able to see a lot of whales! I wanted to see them a bit closer, but it's all about luck. I tend to get lost at the meeting point, so I went to check it out early, but it wasn't open. That made me a bit anxious.

The boat crew was amazing. You will take your shoes off prior to entering the boat and the crew assists with the facilitation of passengers onto the vessel. The main challenge is timing the waves with getting passengers on board. The crew did a great job with this and ensured everyone stayed dry (for the most part!) Once on the boat there are several different seating options: Bean bag chairs, bench seating down by the bar area, and seating on the front of the vessel. I would recommend sitting in the bean bags as they are comfortable and provide a great view (just be careful with your phone as there are slits it could possibly fall through into the ocean.)
Dinner was served on the boat and it was excellent. The brussel sprouts and chicken bites were delicious! Drinks were also served and the crew did a great job with serving everyone in a timely and frequent manner. The trip was extra special for me as my wonderful fiance (then boyfriend) proposed to me as the sun set over the mountains. My friends worked with the crew members to make the moment extra special as they deliberately turned the boat for us to see the sunset in our engagement pictures. During/after the proposal they provided us with a champagne shower and the rest of the bottle of champagne! Truly a moment we will never forget.
A++ experience!

I participated alone. I had some anxiety, but the check-in and boarding went smoothly. There were whales everywhere. Every time we spotted one, the captain and the other passengers would announce it and point it out, so we moved the boat left and right to take pictures! At the end of the tour, a whale came close to the boat, dove underneath, and popped up to play with us! Everyone was super excited! ☆ Since there was some wind and occasional rain (though not for long), I think it's a good idea to bring a windbreaker. It was a very valuable experience, and I was moved. Thank you very much!!

不安もありましたがチェックインから乗船、その後もスムーズでした。クジラはあちこちにいました。見えるたびにキャプテンや乗客の皆さんがアナウンスや指差しをして教えてくれたので船を右に左に飛び回って写真を撮りました!
ツアーの最後にはクジラが船に近づいてきて、船の下に潜り込み、顔を出して戯れてくれました!
みんな大興奮でした☆
風があったり、たまに雨が降ったり(長い時間ではありませんが)するので、ウインドブレーカーを持参しても良いと思います。
とても貴重な体験が出来感動しました。
