Maui
The crew was amazing and fun. They were very knowledgeable of the island and surrounding area. We had an amazing time snorkeling and the crew made us feel very comfortable and at easy in the water. It seems as if we were also eating during the cruise before, between and after snorkeling at the two spots chosen for the morning cruise. The end of the cruise was awesome because the captain and crew raised the sails and we sailed back to harbor by the wind. It was amazing watching the crew work at raising the sails. What a great experience for anyone and everyone of all ages.
The tour was amazing and very informative!! Probably the best $15 we spent on maui!
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!
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.
We had a great time - our tour guide "Hailey" was awesome. She showed us the inside of Hana jungle - the best waterfalls and some history of the trees and beaches. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We had a great time too... Sharing the best places along the Road to Hana is our favorite thing to do! Biggest hugs... the Holo Holo Gang
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.
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.
Wonderful crew and captain, thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The food was great and the service was wonderful. Molokini was beautiful and was well worth the trip, visibility to at least 80 feet! Soo many fish! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to do something different and spend a half day snorkeling but still have time for to do something else after.
This was done nicely. The dancers were so elegant and the history was informative. Finally the vendors were so nice and showed great craftsmanship.
The BBQ dinner is cater in, but the rids and chicken was hot and good. We really enjoyed the history of both horses and cowboys on the Island. The story teller was not dry but entertaining and humor mixed in. A nice way to relax at a show after a busy day doing whatever. My wife loved being able to go up after the show to meet the horses and the riders. The pre-show guitar player is fantastic on the 12 string guitar.
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.
Sean was fantastic and really wanted us to do well! Highly recommend!
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!
Everything was great. The team was very helpful, friendly and funny.
We really love Molokini snorkel/snuba site. The turtle town was not that impressive though. We expected to see lots of turtles, but saw only one.
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!
I booked thinking I would be going to Molokini Island. It's an afternoon tour. However, I ended up at a rocky area on Maui, about 20 minutes from the port. I thought we would go to Molokini Island, but it turned out this was the end of the tour. There were some corals, but the main inhabitants were just black triggerfish. It seemed like this was the so-called Coral Garden. The title of the tour was misleading.
モロキニ島に行くものと思って予約しました。午後スタートのコースです
でも、ついたのは、港から20分くらいのマウイ島の岩場でした。
ここからモロキニ島に行くと思ったら ココで終わりだって
サンゴがそこそこありましたが、いっぱいいるのは、黒いモンガラばっかり
ここが、コーラルガーデンってところのようでした。
ツアーのタイトルがまぎらわしい

Good luau. Little cheesy but good food and atmosphere
Hawaii is perfect for snorkeling! I have done it many times before, but I have never had a chance to get so close to sea creatures. Molokini Island is a moon shaped underwater volcano crater and it is one of the most famous snorkeling destinations in Hawaii. Hawaiians take good care of their ocean and have many rules to obey in it and one of them in not to touch anything in the water, which I just loved, you can get as close as possible but still have to respect animals. It is very nice to see that animals are totally relaxed here and would really come close to you if you dont attempt to jump on them. We had an amazing team, we had 2 stops for snorkling and the experience was just magical. Maybe you should consider to take a heli tour around there as well, as the views from above are just amazing and give you a real chance to enjoy the moon shape of the island! I twas a fantastic tour and I totally recommend everyone to get on it!
The dinner cruise was really fun and relaxing. As soon as you get on you have drinks available and the staff are really nice. The food selection was okay, nothing too spectacular. The drinks were okay as well. We got a Mai tai when we left the port and we also were given 2 more drinks throughout the cruise. It was a beautiful cruise and the sunset was gorgeous.
This was a great way to wind down our vacation trip to Maui. Very relaxing and the crew were great.
Thank you, Cade, for your kind review! We are so glad to hear you enjoy the Dinner Cruise, and hope to see you again.
very informative cruise! saw a lot and the captain stayed out longer due to some very interesting activity with a mother whale and 2 male whales that were creating a lot of activity above the water as well as under.
It was an entertaining intimate luau with crowd participation. We did the show and cocktail only option since we are not big eaters. It would have been nice to know they close the bar when the show starts so we were bamboozled on the drinks. Show was not very long but very good.
