Maui
A great way to enjoy an amazing sunset in Maui celebrating a Mother/Daughter trip and my 60th birthday. Tasty 3 course meal with 3 cocktails included. The Captain and Crew were pleasant and accommodating. The Captain dropped nuggets of information about the island as we cruised. The waves were pretty rocky but was no big deal for us. The only thing I took issue with was the salad greens were wilted, other than that everything was great!
We are visiting Maui for our 40th wedding anniversary and the highlight of our trip was The Helicopter tour doors off. It was a once in a lifetime event for us. The pilot (Richie Olsten) was excellent at what he did, he kept us informed and and entertained the whole time. His ability to fly was excellent. We loved ever minute of the tour.
Molokini Island had calm waves and high visibility, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling. Perhaps I had high expectations, as there were fewer types of fish than I had anticipated. When we moved to the second spot, I encountered a large turtle. The Japanese staff were always watching over us, so I felt safe while snorkeling. The meals provided for breakfast and lunch were delicious.
モロキニ島は波も穏やかで透明度も高く、シュノーケリングを満喫しました、期待しすぎたか、魚の種類は思っていたよりかは少なかったか。
二番目のポイントに移動したら大きなカメに遭遇しました。
日本人スタッフが常に見ていてくれたので安心してシュノーケリングが出来ました。
朝昼の食事が着いていて美味しかったです。
It was a mountain on par with Mount Fuji, but with toilet breaks included, we gradually acclimated to the altitude and reached the summit without any issues. The clouds were thick, and I was worried, but by sunset, it cleared up quite a bit, allowing us to see a fantastic sunset. After it got completely dark, the guide pointed out the sky with a laser pointer, creating a truly natural planetarium experience. They also provided a high-quality telescope, through which we could clearly see Saturn's rings and the craters on the moon. Thank you very much.
富士山クラスの山でしたが、トイレ休憩含め、高度に少しずつ慣らしながら連れて行ってくれたので何の問題もなく山頂まで到着。
雲が厚く、心配しましたがサンセット時にはだいぶ晴れ、幻想的な夕陽を見ることが出来ました。
そして真っ暗になってからはポインターで空を指しながらの解説で正に天然のプラネタリウムでした。
高級な望遠鏡も用意頂き、土星の輪っかや月のクレーターなどもはっきり見ることが出来ました。
どうもありがとうございました。
Fun for the family, the kids really enjoyed it! The crew was friendly and made the experience memorable.
We had a pleasant ride to Lana’i. The ferry had an indoor seating area with AC as well as an outdoor seating area. Make sure to get there 30min before departure time.
At first I was a bit disappointed because we thought they have forgotten about us,only to find out that they were waiting for us in the other hotel roundabout-there was a little misunderstanding with the pick up location. Our hotel and the next door hotel names are almost the same.Other than that,the trip was amazing. At first,it was all covered by clouds and fog but our guide did not give up and tell us to wait a little longer. True enough..while all have left,we stayed to witness the sunrise. It was amazing! Our guide did not disappoint us!
Aloha! Sorry about the confusion on your pick-up. It can get a bit confusing with hotel names. Happy that you enjoyed the majesty of seeing the Sun rise from Mauna Haleakala. It quite the site to see! Our guides work hard to show all our guests the best time on their dream vacation! Mahalo nui! Polynesian Adventures
Sue was amazing. She made sure the van was in good condition before moving forward. She did not disappoint us all the way. She gave us a lot of info all throughout the trip. We did the cave expedition and we did not go to just one but 3.It was truly a great one!
We had a wonderful time. A perfect addition to our honeymoon!! I recommend going when they have the live entertainment
The captain and his crew were outstanding and made the experience amazing. They were professional, attentive, informative and fun! The snorkeling and snuba spots were so worthwhile.
The only bad part was the boat ride to the 2nd location, but it was because of the wind and the amount of water that sprayed up. The crew warned us about it and offered other places for everyone to sit.
Loved:
The crew - excellent - Captain Mike and his #1 Britney were amazing!
The Trilogy III was fantastic
The two stops where we snorkeled - marvelous
The sail back so very fun
The food was yummy!
My family and I hope we get to do this again sometime. It was the best we have ever done.
We had so much fun. Could not have any more fun than this. loved it.
I booked this excursion for my family of 4 (two young adult sons). I specifically chose a Thursday because of the live music. The crew was fantastic, the trip was very smooth, and we all had a great time. The appetizers were nice and they did a great job of offering multiple passes at both the food and drinks. We have done a sunset cruise on each of our trips to Maui and this was amongst the best experiences for us.
Everything was excellent about this Luau:
- the location on the beach with the sun setting
- your own private table
- food brought to you instead of getting it yourself
- the variety of traditional foods presented
- the performers and their performances (especially the fire dance)
- the unlimited drinks
- the service staff
- the weather that day
OK, the only thing not so excellent was I had to pay $10 for parking across the street for the evening because I wasn't sure the 3-hour free parking about a block and a half away would be sufficient. Because we came an hour early (5:30 PM) to explore the area and the feast ended at around 9:30, you could say that was a most excellent decision.
The staff was amazing! The tour is a wonderful experience. I was hoping to see more marine life, but of course that’s not in anyones control. That was my only disappointment. Otherwise everything was well organized. I would recommend this excursion at least once to experience it.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU-
RAY AND TYLER
YOU HELPED ME FACE MY WORST FEAR- HEIGHTS!!!!!
WHILE I SCREAMED LIKE A BABY I REALLY ENJOYED MY EXPERIENCE,
AND HELPED SHOW THE GRAND KIDS-(20 YR TO 12 YR) THAT GRANDMA
COULD DO IT. (ANYTHING)-
WE SNORKLED AND DROVE THE ROAD TO HANA- ALL THE WAY AROUND
THE 1 LANE COASTAL, NO GUARDRAIL.
VERY SCARY, BUT WE WERE TRIUMPHANT.
I HAVE ALREADY REFERED FRINDS TO YOU ZIPLINE-
THANK YOU AGAIN- WITH OUT YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT, AND UNCONDITIONAL HELP, I COULD HAVE NOT ZIPLINED.

I’ve been to three different luaus as I visited Maui 3 separate vacations . This one by far was the best. The food was excellent and they were aware of our dietary allergies. We had 2 children in our party and they enjoyed it also. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was fun and knowledgeable. The show kept us wanting more. The setting was gorgeous and the stage was in the middle so everyone could see. I would definitely go again but book it early! We tried the first 2 times and couldn’t get in. As soon as we knew we were going to Maui we book this luau first thing because we heard so many good things about it.
Amazing Tour and awesome tour guide and driver . Very polite and helpful throughout the tour !
So knowledgeable and made it extra special for each tourist . Must do for anyone planning a trip
We absolutely loved our sunset sail! We were on our honeymoon and it was the perfect activity! From the appetizers and drinks to seeing the most beautiful rainbow to having a live musical artist on board, it was truly the best experience.
It was a smooth and kind and generous session for our son (16y old). He enjoyed so much his time with his teacher that our son asked for more surf in San Francisco.
The teacher was patient, focused on kid, involved with their success…. Good job guys.
The sunset is just as good as the sunrise! and no reservations. This tour company however is the one to go with, as the stargaze was really detailed!
ATVs are in great condition! The paths are beautiful and scenic
Our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. Problem is with the booking agency. We booked a half day tour that turned out to be a on day that the coast guard had required maneuvers that cancelled the mid afternoon ferry from lanai to Maui. Veltra knew this months in advance but didn’t bother to change our schedule. They informed us that we would be back by 5:00 but given no other information we assumed that the ferry ride took that long. They repeated that we had a half day tour. Big problem if you have nothing to do for hours on lanai and/or have reservations on Maui at 6:00.
That’s half of it. If you read Veltra’s description of the tour it sounds like you’ll tour the town, the garden of the gods, the shipwreck beach, and more. No way, as our guide pointed out when we told him what we expected based on Veltras description. It’s a big island and you can’t fit all those places in a half day tour
Our trip was a great part of our anniversary. Our pilot was knowledgeable and entertaining. We so enjoyed seeing parts of Molokai and Maui that we would otherwise not see.
It was perfect in every aspect!. The food and show were amazing.

Avoid this cruise $300 a couple for dinner dancing cruise but no dancing ( see pictures). First, boarding was late then a person came out slovenly dress and said they were going to board.
Second problem all of the plates were out before we boarded with single file space you had to look for your “name” which means everybody’s face has been all over YOUR plate gross. Can we say Cova 19 boys and girls? AFTER, we left port was the announcement that the toilet DO NOT work and that we could NOT put toilet paper in the toilet that we had to put it in the garbage can beside it, bottle water provided for hand washing no soap! Wait no soap?! no running water??!! When my husband had to used the restroom they pour water in hands, NO paper towel, and was given hand sanitizer. REALLY??!!There was no dancing possible because we were crammed upstairs because the RUGS downstairs were pulled up.
I guess we’re to dance in my seats?!
THEN BLAME GAME: after cruise requested refund was told to call VIATOR ( which I did upon my return THEY REFUSED!!! Piss on!! Now I am pissed off!! someone needs must return ANY money and refund they should did us a favor and cancelled this tour. Viator offers get FREE CANCELLATION VIA ANYBODY for EVERYTHING USED. IF BOOKED THROUGH them get guarantee or pay extra for free cancellation or good faith agreement.
if there is a agency that handles this boating industry in Hawaii? I want you to email me all of the information that I need to forward all of my pictures as well as picture of four other couples shut down time!! I got nothing but time.
Did this tour on our first trip and was not disappointed the 2nd time. Completely different experience. Older folks were able to jump off the 20ft ledges but they also had spots where it was anywhere from1-5ft for young ones or those that were unsure. The hike through the jungle is so beautiful.
Views were amazing. Pics don’t do it justice. Horses were great. Being from Texas I’ve ridden most of my life so we got to do a little more than they probably would have normally because of our experience level. This is 100% worth it.
Upon arrival, the check in process was smooth. You can take a look at the Banyan Tree or take a quick stroll on Front Street after check in while you wait for the tour to start.
We found the crew to be incredibly friendly and professional. The submarine was clean and well air conditioned. There are no guarantees of what type of sea life will be around but we got lucky with a small shark and ray! Spent lots of time at the shipwreck site :) There are also some pretty amazing photo opportunities as you take the boat to/from the submarine.
Would highly recommend!
It was my first time to go to Lanai and my experience with the ferry boat was excellent. The captain and the crew did an excellent job.
