Maui
The staff was so wonderful. Very friendly and tentative!
The evening was very enjoyable for me. The food was interesting as well as the deserts. The ambience was beautiful. The show was very well put together.
Great cruise. Food was fantastic.. Sunset unreal.. Staff was friendly and enthusiastic.
Will do this again next trip.
First time at a Luau and it was very well run. Wish we could do this again! Recommend Old Lahaina Luau. Very nice time!
Perhaps the best excursion I've been to in Maui or any other destination. The staff was incredible, all friendly and fun!
good food (though I dont advise eating a lot since I had quite some acid reflux snorkeling on a full stomach), good directions on how to use snorkel gears. saw dolphins, they are right below our deck. saw a bunch of turtles and a white tip shark and octopus (the latter two I have to acknowledge the other cruising company's guide, he does these deep dives to compel the shark to come out from hiding and he somehow found this octopus for everybody to see!)
No complaints here! Bar tenders will make your drinks stronger if you ask :) No shortage of delicious food and knowledgeable info from the crew. They even had the cutest dog on board!
Rough ride to Lanai island but over all is a great experience, we'll do it again.
My kids love this activity we have in Maui. Their instructor are great too. They were able to enjoy and stand on the board and surf with the waves. They said its one of a kind things to do and experience. They will surf again and this time with pride. Awesome.
Wonderful way to spend a few hours; the displays & sea life are awesome, the grounds beautifully maintained. Perfect for families; the young and the older will be delighted.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. Maui Ocean Center would like to say "Mahalo" for visiting us during your Maui vacation.
Great experience loved every minute of it. Staff was great, the food was amazing and who can resist an open bar.
We have been to Maui so many times but never had tried the sunset cruises that are available, and there are quite a few. But after some research we decided to try the Pride Of Maui Sunset Cruise, and we are glad we did. The crew were polite and made sure we were taken care of. The buffet was good, and the drinks were not watered down like some of the mass events we have been to. Chatted with the captain and got to ride along with him on the way back which made us feel like a part of the cruise as well. The views are spectacular and we were lucky to have almost a cloudless view the whole trip. We went in September and the weather was perfect.
I would highly recommend the Pride for your next adventure. Price was cost effective, and if you have kids they will love it.

The views were awesome. Food was good. We enjoyed our cruise.
My twin 7 year olds and 12 year old daughters, along with my husband and I, absolutely enjoyed our time on the boat. Whereas no dolphins were spotted, the snorkeling was awesome - snorkeled twice! The boat had a slide too that my girls loved going down into the ocean blue. Staff was fun and friendly and the food, both for breakfast and lunch, was perfect for our time onboard. Would highly recommend this cruise and will do it again the next time we are on the island of Maui.
We had the best time. So much to see and do.
First time visiting the Ocean center, we did lunch as well. Food was excellent
Aloha Happy Campers,
So glad to hear that you had a nice time at Maui Ocean Center. Thank you for your review.
Best fishes,

Our captain Mark along with Nick and Emily made of this a fantastic experience. It was fun, great music, good food and more importantly we felt safe and taken care of the whole time. Getting on and off the catamaran at the beach was an interesting experience but it just added fun to the whole thing. Our tour was not packed and that added personalization from the crew. The snorkeling was beautiful. Saw turtles and so many different fishes.
This is my second time on this tour, and I'm very satisfied with the morning tour as it's cheaper. The check-in location is easy to find since there's only one small booth at the entrance of the main pier. The boat is quite large as it has two levels. Waking up early allows for a productive day.
このツアーは2回目ですが、朝のツアーは安くなっていて満足度が高いです。
チェックインの場所も、メインの桟橋の入り口にひとつだけある小屋なのでわかりやすいです。
2階のある船なので結構大きいです。
早起きするので一日が有効に使えます。
Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) had a wonderful experience on Wednesday when we boarded the Kaulana in Lahaina. We were greeted by a friendly and genuinely, "eager-to-please" crew. Many day trips aboard other cruises can be fun and interesting, (we've done a few others, on other visits to Maui,) but for us, it's especially memorable when the people you spend a few hours with are sociable and eager to share their love of these beautiful islands. The captain and his crew were also very conscious of our safety and we felt well-guarded against any possible issues. This was a great day, for a great price, and they delivered on dolphins!
Staff was super nice and did a great class on snorkeling for beginners. Was my first time, so very helpful! Saw lots of fish and turtles. Great food and drinks! Would do again!
This was our second time attending the luau at the Sheraton and it was excellent once again. The entire luau is run efficiently and the food and entertainment are top-notch. While waiting for the food, you can participate in some ancient Hawaiian and Polynesian games and then you get to witness the unveiling of the kalua pig from the imu.
Hi All,
Thank you so much again
My 15yr daughter & I had a great
time. The Staff was GREAT!!
Snorkeling & BBQ was awesome
It was an great experience. As a first timer got good instruction about snorkeling. Food also really good.
Luau was great, show was wonderful, however we paid for VIP seating & didn't get the front seats as expected but was sat with people that paid just for the luau so why did I pay 25.00 extra per person to get the better seats. All was great except seating. Food was good & drinks was good except you had to get your own when it stated in the VIP tickets they bring you the drinks you ordered. Overall would go again but not pay for VIP seating.
The Luau was a hit of the trip to Hawaii. We have attended this Luau many times and it is the best on the Island. The food was wonderful, the dancers seemed liked they wanted to be there and it was outstanding
We had a wonderful time on the dinner cruise. The food was great, water was very calm. It was also a very beautiful sunset on the cruise. The staff was great. They took care of every need. Will definitely do this again. The only issue we had was finding the right boat dock.

My daughter and I went to the Old Lahaina Luau and we loved it. Great service and very entertaining. The food was great as well. It was very informative, we learned a lot about the dance and how it originated. We seen a beautiful rainbow and took some pictures too.
We ended our trip in Maui with the sunset dinner cruise. It was perfect because it was a very relaxing night. Before we got on the boat, it was a little unclear what we needed to do with our Veltra vouchers, the man working there sent us on the line with out getting our real tickets needed so we were sent off the line to go back and get those. Not a huge deal, but maybe more of a clear direction when people get there could avoid that. The drinks were yummy and the food was pretty good. I tasted my boyfriend's steak and liked it better than my Mahi Mahi, so I would say go for the steak instead ! A tasty cheesecake was served for dessert as well! We got hit by one huge wave at the end which was kind of scary because the boat tipped a lot, otherwise it was smoothe sailing over all and a beautiful experience.
Very disappointing. We paid for a trip to Molokini. We were told that it was too rough to snorkel there. Instead, we were taken to Coral Gardens. What they didn't tell us was that Coral Gardens can be accessed from the beach off of Hwy 30. It was very close to the harbor and even though the water was clear, there were few fish. I felt as if I had been cheated. We spent over $100 each and expected to snorkel at the Molokin crater. We talk with some other visitors who went with a different company. They told us how wonderful it was. I don't recommend this company. We booked ahead. Next time we will book when we get to Maui.
Aloha John,
While we understand your disappointment at not going to Molokini, our web site and all of our literature does state that Molokini is weather dependent; our morning trips get there 95% of the time. Nobody offers a 100% guarantee as it is simply unsafe under certain conditions. As for Coral Gardens, it is actually not accessible unless you are on a boat. It is at the base of a very steep cliff wall and we go there because it is protected from the wind. Coral Gardens is actually listed in the top 10 snorkeling spots in the US by Conde Nast' (12 years in a row), Coastal Living and Travel & Leisure and most guests enjoy seeing the turtles you wouldn't see at Molokini.
We do hope you'll join us again and that we can get you to Molokini!
Mahalo,
Kelly
Diner was marvelous. I had prime rib. The couple I sat with was entertaining. Crew was attentive. Three drinks per person. Sun set beautiful.
We have been to 6-8 different Luaus in Maui, and this one is one of the top two we have seen. Food was excellent, better than all except Marriott's. Service was better than all. The server in our section even went to get our mix drinks (both virgin and regular). Show was great telling the story of the Hawaii Islands, not just a mix of various dance styles. The tables are stair step so even the back tables have a good view of the stage without having to look around other heads.
