Maui
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!
Had a great time, good food, good drinks, good time
I had the best time ever with my tour guide Sammy. She was so much fun to be with. I felt like I was out with a friend for the day. She was more than happy to share her knowledge and appreciation of Hawaiian culture, heritage and history.
I learned so much that day. She made Maui come alive for me, the flora and the fauna and some stories that have been passed down through the ages.

Hi Marian, thank you so much for your wonderful review! Thank you for coming with us and taking the time to write a few words of recommendation. We love Sammy too :) She is a Hawaiian native with a wealth of knowledge and infectious sense of humor too. This makes for a really good day together. Wishing you many more moments of joy, love and laughter. Warmest aloha - The Holo Holo Hui
Absolutely amazing experience! Comfortable ride with stellar views and good company! Watching the sunset on Haleakalā is just breathtaking! Don’t let the clouds fool you. Guide was knowledgeable regarding the area and dinner was delicious! Would definitely do it again!
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!
Great food and saw some whales. Very nice crew members.
Mahalo for joining us!
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.
Very attentive staff, great experience. Food was good, saw lots of fish and an eel.
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.
We had a “whaley” good time! Two humpback whales swam around, under, and emerged out of the water right next to our boat, swimming around us for about 20 minutes! We were fortunate to have a prolonged close-up encounter, within feet of these beautiful creatures. A large group of dolphins also swam by, jumping in and out of the water! The views were outstanding and our guides were a lot of fun, informative and very friendly! (I even dropped my sunglasses in the ocean and one of our guides managed to grab them before they sank-above and beyond!) The drinks and appetizers were delicious, and to top it off there were beautiful rainbows along the coast as we sailed along the sea! Sea Maui Sunset Sail was wonderful and our FAVORITE thing we did in Maui!
I participated in the early morning plan because the price was a bit cheaper and I wanted to make effective use of my time. It was great that the public parking in Lahaina was available at that time.
Even if you don't understand English, it's fine since you're just there to see the whales. It was easy to understand when everyone pointed at the spouts. You can see spouts here and there. I didn't see any big jumps, but I did see tails and fins.
I checked in 30 minutes early, but I had to wait about an hour before boarding. We departed about 30 minutes later than scheduled, so I think the subsequent departure times were also delayed.
I brought a jacket, but the weather was relatively nice, and it wasn't cold even in short sleeves.
料金が少し安いのと時間を有効に使いたかったので、早朝プランに参加しました。この時間だとラハイナの公共駐車場も空いていたので良かったです。
英語が分からなくてもクジラを見るだけなので大丈夫です。潮吹きなど皆が指を差すので分かりやすかったです。あちらこちらで潮吹きは見られます。大ジャンプは見られなかったですが、尾やヒレは見れました。
30分前にチェックインでしたが、乗船するまで1時間程待たされました。予定の出航時間より30分ほど遅れたので、以降の出航時刻もずれ込んだと思います。
上着は持参しましたが、比較的天気も良く半袖でも寒くなかったです。
We saw so many whales and the crew was fabulous! We will do this again.
It was a cold day with rain coming and going, and I underestimated that, so I couldn't enjoy it 100%. However, it would have been perfect if I had a hat and a down jacket. There were hardly any Japanese people, and if you don't understand English, it can be difficult to grasp the content of the performance. However, the venue is compact, making it easy to grab drinks and food from the buffet anytime and the restrooms are close, which is comfortable. The number of show dancers is on the lower side, so it may not be an overwhelmingly impressive show overall, but the final fire dance was worth the entire ticket price, showcasing the craftsmanship of the dancers. The front seats are VIP, and the priority entry was smooth and good, but the regular seats are not that much inferior.
とにかく雨が降ったり止んだりの寒い日だったことを甘く見てしまったので100%良さを楽しめなかったですが、帽子とダウンジャケットでもあれば完璧でした。日本人はほぼいなくて英語が分からないと演出内容が分かり難いこともありますが、まず会場内がコンパクトでドリンクや食事のビュッフェもいつでも何回でも取りに行きやすいしお手洗いも近いの快適です。ショーダンサーの人数は少なめなので全体的には圧巻のショー演出と言えるほどでないかもしれませんが、最後のファイヤーダンスはこれだけでも全金額を払う価値を感じるほど職人技のダンサーが見れました。
前方席はVIPで、優先入場もスムーズで良かったですが通常の席でもそれほど劣る訳ではありません。
I think how close you can see them depends on luck. However, there are plenty of whales, so there are many chances to see them. They show various movements and are quite adorable. Even if I couldn't understand much of the guide's explanations during the English tour, just being able to see the whales was exciting enough, so I had a great time.
Depending on the sea conditions, the wind out at sea can be strong, and it was quite cold while watching the whales from the deck. I'm glad I brought my down jacket from Japan! Next time, I want to see them even closer.
どのぐらい近くで見られるかは時の運かと思います。しかしクジラはたくさんいるのでかなりの数のチャンスはあります。そしていろいろな動きを見せてくれて可愛いです。英語ツアーであまりガイドの説明は分からなくてもクジラに会えるだけでかなり興奮するので問題なく楽しめました。
海の状況にもよりますが沖の風は強く、それでも甲板にてクジラを見続けたかたのでかなり寒かったですが、日本から持って行ったダウンジャケットを持っていて正解でした!次はもっともっと近くで見たいと思いました。
This was our first luau. We didn't know exactly what to expect, but it was very enjoyable. Great food and plenty of it. Good cultural historical experience.
Five minutes after departing, whales started appearing one after another! They were incredibly close, and it was amazing! I was lucky, but I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Maui!
出港して5分してから、クジラが次から次へと!
ものすごく近くに見えて、最高でした!
運が良かった事もありますが、またマウイに来た時は参加したいです!
