Maui
This was our 5th time attending this luau and once again it was top notch. The staff was friendly and the food and entertainment were awesome. The event was very well organized and the venue was perfect.
I visited Lanai Island for the first time, which I had always admired from afar! The one-day tour was a private experience just for the two of us! Our kind driver, who spoke slowly and gently explained things to us despite our limited English, really impressed us! The island is surrounded by wilderness, giving it an undeveloped feel that reminded me of a Western movie!
何時も眺めて居たラナイ島に初めて渡りました!1日ツアーは2人だけの貸切!
優しいドライバーさんで余り英語が話せ無い我々にゆっくりと優しく説明してくれ感激しました!島は荒野に囲まれて未開発感が溢れて西部劇を思い起こしていました!
Had a fabulous time and food and show was awesome.
Amazing half day with Bruce.
Seems like we saw the entire island. Bruce knows everything about the island and was great.
Highly recommend.
Great time on the Sea Maui. The music was wonderful! Really great service too. Got great shots of the sunset.
I would totally recommend this catamaran ride to everyone.
Our Tour Guide Henry was very well versed on all aspects of the Island and to Haleakala in general. He was patient with our entire group and encouraged questions.
Dinner was meh-My husband and I have eaten several times at Cafe O'Lei in Kihei,but this was not up to those standards.
Exceeded my expectations on all levels. The staff were knowledgeable about history, myths, sea life and safety. Not only did I learn so much on the trip, but I felt safe, well-fed, well-cared for, and had a lot of fun! The service and food were outstanding. I can't recommend this trip highly enough.
Since Sunset was fully booked, I chose this option, and it was a great decision!
You can see a perfect starry sky because they start very early in the morning!
The sunrise was also very beautiful.
It was really cold, so I wore a down jacket, sweater, and denim, and even with Heattech underneath my denim, I was still cold.
Also, the guide and all the other guests were foreigners, so everything was in English.
The explanations were detailed and easy to understand, and the other tour participants were nice people too!
サンセットが満席だったため、こちらにしましたが、大正解でした!
朝とても早くから出版するので、満点の星空が見れます!
朝日もとても美しかったです。
とてもさむいので、ダウンジャケット、セーター、デニム、デニムの下にヒートテックでも寒かったです。
またガイドさんや他のお客さんも全員外国人なので英語です。
説明会も細かくしてくれてわかりやすかったですし、ほかのツアー客もいい人でした!
Great crew! Very helpful and polite. We had a great time.
On spur of the moment my wife and I decided to take the ferry to Lanai then rent a Jeep to go exploring. The cost was reasonable and it was a spectacular day. We caught the 6:45 morning ferry. The Jeep was waiting for us in the parking lot. We headed out not really sure what to expect. We ran into Mikee as we were driving up the hill towards Lahaina City. Mikee is the guy we rented the Jeep from He gave us some tips on what to expect and where we should go. His suggestions were bang on. We had a leisurely day exploring the island; so many amazing sights that will take your breath away! We planned to take the 6:45 return ferry that day. It gave us some leisure time after we were done exploring. The return on the ferry was a bit rough but the boat handles it easily.
Great time had by all! The crew met all our needs! The snorkeling and the entire experience was wonderful! Perfect day on the water in Maui!
Preston was awesome! Best driver and very polite with people. Very fun and enjoyable trip! I highly recommend giving him a raise he deserves it!!
Overall the trip was what was expected however I feel like there should be more time allowed to snorkel. You arrive to the dock and get on the boat. They have a small muffin style breakfast available. - The drive to the spot is about an hour, you get maybe an hour to snorkel and eat, then you head back which is about an hour. I wish we would have more time to snorkel and relax. It feels very rushed, rightfully so maybe, but for the money you figured you would have a little more time to just be and relax. The lunch is nice and plentiful. The equipment is fine enough and they give you options to purchase a top half wet suit, for cash only so bring some if you want to do that. You can also rent camera's if you would like. There was someone there who took professional style pictures so that was a nice bonus. Of course they cost but not as much as I figured. - The crew knows their information and is fun with their jokes and fun on the boat. The glass bottom is only open when you stop to snorkel and between snorkeling and eating I forgot to look and when I remembered we were leaving and it was closed. You have only a small amount of space to snorkel at once you're at the crater. It's very packed full of people and other boats so it's not really a relaxed snorkel. It feels crowded and time is limited. For our first experience it was a good time but we just which we had more time. This excursion doesn't go to the turtle part either. We picked it for the glass bottom over the turtle snorkeling and we wish we wouldn't have done that.
Our driver Judy wasn't the most pleasant of people. When we first got on the bus we sat in the handicap set behind her. My sister in law has a knee brace on so it was easier. Judy told us we couldn't sit there. We moved and a little bit into the ride she asked if anyone was prone to motion sickness. She said they could come up front. That made me mad. Then when we stopped to order our dinners a couple complained they couldn't understand her. We couldn't either. She got better speaking after that. She also told use we had 15 minutes and then disappeared for a half hour leaving us in the hot van. People start getting off so they could get air. Just not the greatest of drivers.
We've been ziplining at most of the lines on Maui. This is one of the top two. Great money for the price. Views were great. I'd go back.
A chance to see some of the beauty of this location. Caution, you lose approximately 3 degrees F per 1,000 ft of altitude. You must also expect to experience wind chill as they wind is blowing.
Our guide was informative and was really great about giving us all time to see things and ask questions. We really enjoyed our trip and would recommend to friends
Der Sonnenaufgang über dem Haleakala ist definitiv einen Ausflug wert. Wer nicht mitten in der Nacht eine unbekannte und kurvenreiche Strecke fahren will, sollte diese Tour buchen. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass alle Busse auf den Parkplatz am Visitor Center halten und es entsprechend voll dort ist. Außerdem ist eine organisierte Tour die einzige Möglichkeit den Sonnenaufgang zu sehen, wenn man keinen Parkplatz mehr über die Website des Nationalparks buchen kann... Ohne reservierten Parkplatz kein Zutritt!
Did the half day snorkel on the trilogy lll. Captain and crew were great. Saw many sea turtles. Book with trilogy and you wont be disappointed!
Really enjoyed our luau experience! The event is well organized. Our section's server was very friendly and funny, and very quick to bring rounds of drinks from the bar. Our section was one of the last to be dismissed to get food but there was still plenty of food as new trays were continually being refreshed. Location of the luau is very picturesque but bring a jacket/sweater as our night (end of April) was very windy/chilly - some people were in winter parkas!
We had a great crew on this sunset tour which really added to the fun.
The food was also super delicious. Loved everything - what a perfect way to end our evening.
Unfortunately the day we went it was raining, very cloudy and very windy at the top so no sunrise. It is the risk you take when you book the trip. The guides were good to hang around hoping for some sun to come out. The breakfast was pretty good but could have been a little better organized. Overall, an ok day but nothing you can do about the weather. The company was nice to offer pants and jackets to everyone so it kept our clothes dry and us warm at the top, a nice feature I didn't realize we were getting.
Mahalo for your review! Yes unfortunately we can not control the weather. We do have more good days then not. We do strive to make your experience a good one all the way around. Please come back and see us. We would love for you to see this tour in all it's glory.
Mahalo!
Great crew, a lot of good information and got a good look at the final Mom and her calf of the season
I was recommended this show by the taxi driver I took from the airport and made a reservation. The tables are shared, and everyone chats in a friendly atmosphere.
Not only does it feature relaxed Hawaiian hula dancing, but it also showcases various Polynesian dances from Tahiti, Samoa, and more. There are several interactive performances as well (like children dancing on stage together), making it a show that families, couples, and people of all ages can enjoy together.
One thing to note is that there are many moments where English proficiency is helpful. This includes communication at shared tables and understanding explanations, such as going to the buffet to get food for your table; if you don't catch it well, you might find yourself confused.
空港で乗ったタクシーの運転手さんに
ここのショーを勧められて予約。
テーブルは相席で皆さん和気あいあいとお喋り。
ハワイアンのゆったりしたフラダンスのみならず、
タヒチやサモア等の様々なポリネシアンダンスを披露してくれます。
参加型の演目もいくつかあり(子ども達が舞台で一緒に踊る等)
家族連れやカップル、様々な年齢の人が一緒に楽しめるショーだと感じました。
注意点といえば、英語能力が欲しい場面が多々あります。
相席でのコミュニケーションもですが
ビュッフェで食事をテーブルごとに取りに行く等の説明が、よく聞き取れてないと「あれっ」てなるかも
Beautiful drive to Haleakala! Our driver, Judy, was both pleasant and extremely informative. She is truly an attribute to the company? She made the trip to and from the crater a good one.
Sunset was awesome!! The dinner at the golf course was more than we expected!
I continued to persuade my wife, who cannot swim, to join a snorkeling whale shark tour in Cebu last year, saying, "You can float!" This year, we challenged ourselves with snuba. My wife kept saying, "I'm so nervous! My heart is racing!" even before we left the hotel in the morning.
After about an hour of being rocked by the waves while having breakfast on the catamaran, we arrived at Lanai Island. As for my wife, she kept putting her face in the water and saying, "Buhh!" and then "Pahhh!" After 10 minutes of floating, she couldn't dive. However, thanks to Todd, our snuba instructor, who encouraged her with "You can! Believe me!" she finally went underwater.
She was deeply moved by being able to breathe underwater and, when it was over, she exclaimed, "Ahh, that felt so good! Why haven't I done this before?!" just like she said after last year's whale shark tour.
After snorkeling, those who wanted to could join a short tour of the island. Then we enjoyed a barbecue before heading back to the boat. The return trip had higher waves due to the wind. The catamaran stopped its engine and began sailing. I thought about getting tipsy on beer before getting seasick, so I enjoyed a Hawaiian beer. By the way, alcohol is all-you-can-drink.
The crew's hospitality in trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. We had a great time from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I think the cost performance is excellent.
Thank you, Captain Turtle, Crazy Cat Mario, Diving Todd, Balance Ninja Boy Brandon!! We would like to join the tour next year too, with you as the crew.

泳ぎのできない妻を説得し続けて(昨年はセブ島で「浮いてられるから」とシュノーケリング・ジンベイザメ・ツァーに参加)、今年はスヌーバに挑戦。
妻は朝ホテルを出る前から「緊張する! ドキドキする!!」と言い続けていました。
カタマランで朝食を頂きながら波に揺られること1時間少々。ラナイ島到着。
扨て、妻はと言えば、顔をつけては「ブフゥー」。顔をつけては「パフゥー」。浮くこと10分、潜れません。が、スヌーバ担当のTODDの「You can! Believe me!」洗脳(?)で漸く海中に。
海の中で呼吸できることにいたく感動して、終わってみれば「あぁ〜気持ちよかったぁ。今まで何でやって来なかったんだろう!?」と、去年のジンベイザメ・ツァーの時と同じこと言ってました。
シュノーケリング後、希望者は島内ショートツァーへ。
そしてバーベキューをしこたま食べて船に。
ここからの帰りは風の具合で波が高くなります。そして、カタマランはエンジンを止めてセイリングを開始。船酔いする前に酒酔いしてしまおうかと、ハワイビールを頂きました。因みに、アルコールは飲み放題です。
参加者を楽しませようとするクルーの気遣いは中々のものです。
09:00から18:00まで、たっぷりと楽しみました。CPはバッチリだと思います。
The crew's hospitality trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. Cost performance is also satisfactory enough, we enjoyed plenty.
Thank you, Captain Turtle, Crazy cat Mario, Diving Todd, Balance ninja boy Brandon !!
We would like to join the tour next year too, which you are the crew.

It is not air conditioned. Just has fans. The boat rocks a lot so even if you don't get motion sickness you will probably still get sick. It is more enjoyable for young children. Staff was really nice though. We were able to see octopus and a lot of fish.
Great time. Show had ups and downs but overall it was nice. We upgraded to preferred seating which was nice but i think it was not really worth the extra money. Food was really good. I would do it again.
If you go to Maui you must see the sunrise at Haleakala, and if you are lucky enough to ride with Nettie, your experience will be perfect!
This was our second time seeing the sunrise at our feet but our first with the best guide Nettie - she is almost as spectacular as the mountain!
Knowledgeable, personable and entertaining!
We were on this trip to fulfill the “bucket list” desire of my husband’s sister and her husband and were hoping they were pleased; they were ecstatic!
Thanks Nettie - you are a huge part of a great memory!
Not far enough for wild life the crew was great but needs better area for viewing
