All Reviews for For 10 Year Olds

The ocean was beautiful and the environment was very nice, but I felt that it was tough since almost no one on Maui speaks Japanese, so you need to have at least a basic level of English for everyday conversations.

海はきれいでとても環境はよかったのですが、マウイ島はほとんど日本語が通じないので日常会話程度の英語ができないときびしいと感じました。

you folks do know how to give a great luau. the food was absolutely onolicious especially the lomi lomi, purple potatoes and kalua pig plus all the rest. went back for lomi......!!! you have a great chef!!

now the entertainment.....great!!! your dancers were outstanding, beautiful and handsome. costumes beautiful. i would attend at least every other month if i could. but live on the mainland and now.....air prices too high. really happy that my grand daughter and i were able to make this one.

My Mom and I had never been on horses before this trip. Our guide Rocky was fantastic. He was very informative about the land, the island and wonderful little details about everything. I would go back to Mendez again and again. All the guides took their time to make sure the horses were matched up perfectly with the riders. You get a little dirty when it's too dry but it's so worth it when you get to see so much of the island. Pictures to follow.

We read some comments about this luau being crowded, so we were expecting really small venue. I think the venue was good size. I guess if you are used to taking up so much space for yourself, you feel very tight, but we were very comfortable. The dancers were awesome, and foods were well prepared. We stayed in Kaanapali, so it was walking distance from our hotel. It's worth it. I'd recommend it to my friends.

The Maui Sunset Luau at the Maui Price Makena Resort was outstanding. The food the delicious and the atmosphere most entertaining. We enjoyed it very much!

I was not happy about the start and end time of the experience. The entire event was over by 8pm, and it was barely dark. The food and the drinks were as expected... good. The performers were very good, but the show lacked the level of audience involvement that I've seen at other events.

We loved the every part of the tour. Thank you for the great time!

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!

This was my first time snorkeling. The guide made it easy and fun. I want to do it again!

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).

THE STAFF AT MAUI KAYAKS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. WE WERE ABLE TO SEE TONS OF TROPICAL FISH AND SEA TURTLES. WILL COME BACK TO DO THIS AGAIN.

We sailed on the Maui Magic and the crew were really wonderful. Our daughter was a bit hesitant to try snorkling and one of our crew said just the right thing to encourage her to put her face in the water and then we had trouble getting her to come out of the water.

Later, the crew put up a slide for us to use on the last snorkle stop.

We were also incredibly fortunate to see countless hump back whales on our trip out and back, some very close to our boat. The crew were very happy to stop and let us watch them for a good deal of time. In another stroke of luck, a bottle nosed dolphin swam back and forth around the bow of our boat.
This trip was one of the highlights of our vacation and I would encourage anyone not to hesitate to book this whale watch/snorkling trip!

Guides were good, except folks were concerned with Damien's issues (Kauai) and extra long fingernails that were disgusting

Had a great time. Staff were very friendly and helpfull. It had been a large number of years since I had been on a horse, after 5 minutes I was loving it. They took care and time with those less experienced. Matched the horse to the person's ability.

I participated in a tour without pick-up on January 24 at 9 AM. We boarded a small boat and listened to explanations inside the submarine as we made our way to it. It took about 15 minutes, but the view of the island from the sea was very beautiful, and since it was January, we were able to see whales as well.

We transferred to the submarine on the water. The boarding order started with a large group, and I ended up boarding last, sitting right next to the pilot and the guide. Perhaps it was to help solo participants get to know each other?

We looked out through a round window about 40 cm in diameter and 15 cm thick, observing the underwater scenery. With beautiful bubbles, we quickly descended to the seabed, which was a blue world with few colors. We quietly moved towards a spot where many fish could be seen, changing the submarine's direction so that both the people on the right and left could see the fish well, passing through schools of fish, coral, seaweed, and sea urchins. Suddenly, a large fish appeared, and the guide's shout of "sushi fish!" made everyone burst into laughter!

I felt there were fewer fish than expected, but since it was a deep and vast underwater world, they were probably scattered around. The submarine headed towards a sunken ship, and after observing the fish living there, we returned. In the end, I was thrilled to see three rays swimming slowly. I wanted to see a sea turtle, but I was told, "They don't come to such deep places far from land." I wondered why there was a sea turtle depicted in the pamphlet.

We surfaced with bubbles and exchanged groups with the next tour participants before returning to the port.

I was able to have a valuable submarine experience, and while it wasn't 20,000 leagues under the sea, it was wonderful to see a world I couldn't dive into myself. Moreover, it was a tour where I could enjoy the foreign atmosphere with a guide who entertained everyone and fellow participants having fun. Out of 48 people, I was the only Japanese, so I was quite anxious, but there were Japanese explanation materials and audio guides available on board, so it was fine.

Above all, the staff was considerate, allowing me to have a great time. They took photos during boarding, and those who wanted could buy them for $20 when disembarking. The guide made sure to pose with me for a photo since I was participating alone! A short DVD of the submarine experience was also included, making for a wonderful keepsake. I didn't quite understand, but they were selling tickets for $25 on board that allow free rides at any Atlantis for a year.

１／２４朝９時の送迎無しツアーに参加。
小型船に乗り、潜水艦内での説明などを聴きながら潜水艦の所まで、、、
１５分程でしたが、海上からの島の景色がとても綺麗で、１月だったので鯨も見られました。
海上で潜水艦に乗り移ります、、、
乗る順番は大人数のグループからで最後に乗船、操縦席とガイドさんのすぐ側の席でした。
一人参加の人どうし仲よくなれるようにでしょうか？
ガラスの厚さ１５ｃｍ位、直径４０ｃｍ程の丸い窓から水中を見ます、、、
美しい泡とともに、もう海底３０ｍ？という位早く海底に。そこは色の少ない青い世界でした。
静かに魚の多く見られる場所へ進みます、、、
右側の人にも左側の人にも魚が良く見えるように潜水艦の向きを変えながら、
珊瑚や海草、ウニ、魚の大群が泳ぐ中を進み、、と、そこへ大きな魚が現れ、
ガイドさんの｢すしフィッシュ！」の声で艦内は爆笑！
意外と魚が少ないかな？と感じましたが、深く広い海中だから、散らばっているんですよね、きっと！
潜水艦は沈没船の所へ向い、ここに住む魚を見てから戻ります、、、
最後に３匹のエイがゆっくりと泳いで行くのが見られて感激でした。
ウミガメも見たかったのですが、「こんなに陸から離れた深い場所にはいない。」そうです。
パンフレットの絵にウミガメが描いてあるのは、なぜなのか？
泡とともに浮上、、、
海上で次のツアーの人達と交代して、港に戻りました。

貴重な潜水艦体験が出来たことや、海底２万マイルとはいきませんが、
自分では潜れない世界をじかに見ることが出来てとても良かったです。
それに、皆を楽しませてくれるガイドさんと楽しんじゃう皆と外国気分も満喫したツアーでした。
４８人中、日本人は私ひとりだったのでとても不安でしたが、
日本語の説明書や艦内では音声ガイドの貸し出しもあるので大丈夫。
何よりスタッフが気を使ってくれたので、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
乗船時に写真を撮ってくれて、下船時に要る人は＄２０で買うことができました。

よく解からなかったのですが、１年間、何処のアトランティスでも無料で乗れるチケットを
艦内で＄２５で発売していると

a must if you are into fish. I expected a larger centre, but was still neat to see what aquatic life is around Maui.

I would not recommend driving it yourself, too much to see and the road is unbeliveable - one lane, hairpin corners, all usually on the side of a cliff!
Our driver was fairly new and forgot or didn't know alot of things we saw along the way.

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.

I went during the New Year. Despite that, we were the only two Japanese people there. There were no staff who spoke Japanese, but one staff member, who was married to a Japanese person, cheerfully talked to us, and the other staff members were very attentive since we were the only Japanese guests.

It was whale watching season, so during the cruise, the staff would spot whales and let us know. On the way to Lanai Island, they gathered the participants once to give an overview, during which they mentioned that there were still seven spots available for dolphin watching. Since it was in English, I wasn't very confident in my listening skills, and while I hesitated, the spots filled up. Later, when I asked someone who participated, they said it was very cute, and I regretted not signing up.

After returning to Japan and reviewing this page again, it seems that the upgrade "Blue Water Adventure Rafting" was what they were referring to.

On Lanai Island, all the kids were enjoying snorkeling. We found it a bit cold, so we didn't go into the water, but we enjoyed relaxing in the shade and exploring the rocky areas to find small fish.

The food was also very delicious, and they served yakisoba! I think it's a tour where you can experience a variety of things all at once.

お正月に行きました。にも関わらず、日本人は私たち2人だけでした。日本語を話すスタッフはいませんでしたが、奥さんが日本人だというスタッフが一人いて陽気に話しかけてくれたり、他のスタッフも日本人が私たちだけということもあってとても気にかけてくださいました。
ホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので、クルーズの途中にスタッフがクジラを見つけては教えてくれました。
ラナイ島へ向かう途中に、一度参加者を集めてひととおり説明をしてくれたのですが、その中でドルフィンウォッチングの席がまだ7人分空いているといったようなことを言っていました。英語だったのであまり聞き取りに自信がなくて尻込みしているうちに定員オーバーになってしまいました。あとで参加した人に聞いたら、とても可愛かったそうで、思い切って申し込めばよかったと後悔しました。
日本に帰ってきてこのページを再度見直したら、アップグレードの「ブルー・ウォーター・アドベンチャー・ラフティング」というのがそれだったようです。
ラナイ島では子供たちはみんなシュノーケルをして楽しんでいました。私たちはちょっと寒かったので海には入りませんでしたが、木陰でのんびりしたり、岩場を散策して小さな魚を見つけたりして楽しみました。
食事もとてもおいしくて、やきそばも出ました！
一度にいろんなことが体験できるツアーだと思います。

We both enjoyed the cruise.Food and service was wonderful.We will take the cruise again on our next trip to Maui.

Our guide Kaileo was a true local who whole-heartedly enjoyed sharing his ocean with us. He was extremely knowledgable and went beyond what other 'mass market' tour companies offer. He lead out our small group and took the time to educate us about the reefs and ocean bottom, showing us turtles, octopus, starfish, eels and countless fish. (allowing us to even hold the octopus and starfish if we so desired!) I'd certainly go back again when in Maui and would reccomend this trip to anyone who is comfortable with the open ocean. Mahalo!
