The Old Lahaina Luau was a wonderful addition to our Maui honeymoon itinerary. The evening encompassed many of the Hawaiian traditions we hoped to experience while visiting. The food was excellent and there were plenty of dishes to choose from. There were also a good amount of drink options. The entertainment was fantastic. There were so many small details that made the evening even more special. We also appreciated the banana bread we were gifted at the end of the night. We had it for a late night snack a couple of nights after the event and it still tasted yummy. The service from the staff was friendly. We parked in the overflow lot which was a convenient location from the luau. We recommend this luau.

Although we did see many whales, nothing was comparable to the impressive photo's shown in add brochures. You well need a nice set of binoculars to see the detail in sales brochures. All we saw were distance tail and fin flops although some say they saw a baby come out of the water. We enjoyed just setting on the beach watching the whales in the evening as the actual tour....An underwhelmed Okie!

Pleasant and informative venue. I went with a lifelong friend of mine and we enjoyed every moment of it. All of the displays were well thought out and enjoyable. I bought the CD so I could review it when I get home and share it with my nine-year-old grandson.

Went on the cruise and wouldn't you know it, the day clouded over Kate afternoon so there was no sunset that might. The food was great and the drinks were great. It was a calm night so eating buffet style wasn't a huge problem. Would be nice to have a table to sit and eat. Saw lots of whales

We are a family of 5 adults and this was our first sunset dinner cruise and it exceeded all our expectations. Everything about the event was exceptional starting by the pickup at our hotel ,the check-in process,the photos,the reserved seating,the drinks,the food and the food servers. We were entertained by the singer/guitar player throughout which was very pleasant. The weather was perfect and we were thrilled when a humpback whale and her baby were breeching within our view. We are looking forward to a whale watching cruise on the Maui Princess in a few days as part of the special package deal. We highly recommend the Maui Princess.

In the beginning, I was half resigned to the fact that I could only see the whales spouting from a distance, but then a mother and baby whale appeared quite close to us, which was moving. After that, we encountered a pod of about 7 to 9 whales. I was very satisfied. There was a naturalist on the boat who provided commentary through a microphone, which was enjoyable. I couldn't understand all the details, but when a whale appeared, they would say, "○ o'clock!" and "left! right!" so it was fine.
*At the time of booking, it was noted that there would be an "English guide," but when I arrived at the port for check-in, a Japanese guide was waiting for us. I was grateful for the prior explanation about why whales gather around Maui, their habits, and the best viewing points.*
前半は遠くで潮を吹いている姿がちらほら見られるくらいで、なかなか近くでは見られないものなんだなと半分あきらめていたところ、親子クジラがかなり近い距離に現れてくれて感動。その後も、7〜9頭ほどのクジラの群れに遭遇。大満足でした。船にはナチュラリストの方が乗船していて、ずっとマイクで解説をしてくれて楽しかったです。細かいところまでは理解できませんでしたが、クジラが現れると「○ o'clock!(○時の方向)!」「left! right!」と言ってくれるので、大丈夫です。
※予約時点では「英語ガイド」と記載されていましたが、当日チェックイン先の港へ行くと日本人のガイドさんが待っていてくれました。なぜクジラがマウイ島に集まるのか、クジラの習性、見るポイントなど事前に説明してくださってありがたかったです。

The captain and crew were absolutely wonderful. Peak whale season and my husband an I were in Maui celebrating our 25th anniversary. Not only was the dinner delicious and the views spectacular but we also were able to watch the whales. Didn't have to pay a separate fee for the spectacular encounters of the whales. This was absolutely worth every bit of the money we paid and will do it again WHEN we return to Kaalapani.

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.

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。

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、、、

Wasn't sure what to expect and it was a lot better than I thought it might be. Food was good, setting very nice - the moon was rising over the mountain - and the show was informative. We are horsey people but you dont't have to be to enjoy the show (might even be better if you aren't.). Very friendly, hotel or mall pickup, we were lucky and had uncle George play. It was nice to have a new activity since we've been coming to Maui for 20+ years
