Maui
This was our family's first trip to Maui and we wanted it to be special for our two teenage boys. The day we were supposed to have the lessons turned out not to have the best surfing conditions, so they called us to reschedule. We really appreciated them wanting us to have a good experience with some success. As parents, we were very pleased with the care and attention for safety and detail. The class size was pretty small (only 5 or 6) so there was plenty of opportunity for individualized questions. They explained everything thoroughly and made sure the boys understood what they were doing. They both caught several waves and it completely made the trip for them. We came back a few days later to rent gear for them to surf one more time... they remembered all of the instruction and had a blast! Wonderfully nice people - there is also a photographer that can capture the moment you ride your first wave - memories worth paying the few extra bucks for!
Our dream of surfing in the warm Hawaiian water has finally come true! We (first timers from midwest) were able to catch some wave, and if we can, you can. The instructor (sorry, forgot his name) was excellent. He made sure that everyone is safe and having fun during the lesson, and was full of information on where to eat, play, etc. Thanks!!!
Out of all the trips and activities we did on Maui, this trip was our favorite. The crew were so much fun and we saw some dolphins swimming with a whale family. We will never forget this fantastic experience!
We had a great time. It was a bit crowded, but the entertainment was spectacular. Mahalo!
This luau was incredible, how they are able to move this fast is amazing along with the wonderful assortment of foods & desserts!!
Saw plenty of whales with the closest ones coming within 70ft of the boat. The boat was comfortable and viewing was not a problem. The Captain's banter helped make it a very enjoyable trip.
MUST DO! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRIP EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATION!
My kids could not stop screaming when they saw the impressive breaching. My 5-year-old twins fell in love with the whales. I'm so glad that we took this excursion. Thanks for the good time. Great value!
I have actually visited the Maui Ocean Center a few times and i enjoy it everytime.
Attended with my wife on our honeymoon. No Pina Colada's or frozen drinks but i can understand that at an open bar in such a large venue. Server was very good about making sure we all had drinks though. Food was excellent. Dessert was average, but I was really full off all the good food anyway so I didn't mind. The show was very good and the highlight of the night was definitely the fire dancer. Overall a good luau, but there are better out there (although I'm sure they cost more).
a must if you are into fish. I expected a larger centre, but was still neat to see what aquatic life is around Maui.
Staff made you feel very welcome. Excellent food and entertainment. Thank you, we had a great time, and recommend you to others.
We really enjoyed the Maui Prince Luau. This was one of the highlights of our trip. The buffet was excellent, and offered lots of choices, including a nice selection of desserts. The entertainment was exceptional. From the host, to the dancers, to the band, it was all very good, and we'd definitely recomment it to others. We paid extra for premium seating, and it was definitley worth the extra money to be up front.
We both enjoyed the cruise.Food and service was wonderful.We will take the cruise again on our next trip to Maui.
Be sure and watch the diver in the tank feed the sting rays..It's amazing !! A must see for everyone.
The staff on this boat is amazing! They provide a great breakfast with bagels, fruit, etc. They also have a BBQ lunch whereas most other boats only provide deli sandwiches. Unlimited drinks too. We only had about 80 people on our boat so it was really roomy (usual capacity is 120 or so). They also provide high quality underwater cameras (for a fee) and they document the trip in a video and photo CD which you can also buy. Definitely try snuba if your budget allows! The instructor is terrific! 5 stars all the way! Absolutely no complaints!
Good food, unlimited drinks, great entertainment (variety of dances both males and females), great host and service. The only complaint I have is that the seating was horrible. The seats were literally right up against each other so you don't have much arm or leg room. It was hard to get in and out of your seat because they were so close together. Overall wonderful experience! They even ask you if you want shaded or sun seating.
This was our first time trying Snuba and I don't know where to begin. Hawaii activities was great about following up with us to remind us of our event. The crew for our event was exceptional!!! We had snorkeled the day before with another charter that was good but hands down the crew on this boat was the best. As we boarded the boat they took our pictures and they had a separate film guy that took footage while we were on the boat and under the water in both places we dived. If you're not sure about scuba diving then try snuba first. It allows you the freedom of being under the water without wearing tanks. Good indicator if you're going to like scuba.
This was the best snorkeling tour I have ever been on. The 2 guys that conducted it were awesome and everyone had a great time! I definitely recommend Aloah Blue Charters for your snorkeling tours!
An awesome experience and a great value. I went with my 10 year old son and we were both able to stand on the board and stay up (for a little while, at least)in our first 2 hour lesson. Our instructor, John, took individual time with each of the students in our group(there were 5 overall)and made sure to go over the basics before we even hit the water. A wonderful, fun, and safe experience - I highly recommend this school. They created 2 new lifelong surfers!
Best vacation we ever took.
Had a BLAST!! Captain & crew went above and beyond to please all. Great food too.
The crew of Trilogy V Capt. Patti, Ryan, Brett and Cyrus were the best absolutely phenomenal. I would take this tour again with the same crew. We had an amazing time would highly recommend to anyone.
Staff on boat was the best. I learned more than I ever did when I took scuba lessons years ago. Snuba and snorkeling were great, and we saw a pod of spinner dolphins swimming with our boat.
Visited on 6/28/07. Was very nice and interesting. Wanted to stay longer, but ran out of time.
The biggest treat was seeing the divers in the pools with the various sharks and other critters!
thanks for a great time.
The Luau was awesome. The show was beyond my expectation. I had no prevoius experience with a luau before and it was way beyond what I expected. The hula girls can definiteley move their hips more than you can imagine. The guys were very entertaining, especially the one that was really into it, by yelling with enthusiasim and twitching his eyebrows to make you pay direct attention to him, he was the hit of the show besides the Samoan import that performed an excellent fire show.
The food was above average, would of been better if the pork wasn't dry, try medium next time. But food is hard to control some times when you have over 500 people to serve. Other than that it was awesome. Can't remember the host's name, she did an awaesome job blessing the food. Too many places do not engage in prayer. If you pray and believe in Jesus, he will come thru for you.
I could not have been happier about this snuba experience. From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming and genuinely kind that it made us newlyweds feel right at home. The boat was the perfect size with plenty of room for everyone. I could go on and on about the captain, crew, boat, sites, atmosphere, fish, and TURTLES... but this truly was an amazing experience that we will pass on to our family and friends as a must do when visiting Maui.
I have to give props to the crew and the captain for making this the most enjoyable time i have ever had. Everyone on the crew was friendly, helpfull, curtious and just plain nice to be around. Was expecting a little more on the snuba dives, but i went in thinking discovery channel quailty. But the dive was still fun non the less. We got to see sharks, turtles, sea slugs, eels and much more exotic fish. And i was this close to a turtle! I would recommend this activity with auqa adventures any time for many reasons. The first being a great crew and second it was a smaller boat and not the big tourists one that can get anonying with all the screaming kids. When we take another vacation back to maui we are definatly doing this again!
This was experience of a lifetime. The staff onboard took care of any concerns. They have it down to a well run event. It made Maui a little better for us.
This trip was a highlight of our honeymoon! If we could have we would have book it for two days instead of one. The staff was awesome and made us feel very welcomed! Thank You!
