Maui
We really enjoyed the lunch stop on this tour, with delicious pizza and salad at Hana Farms.
Aloha Kara,
Mahalo for your five-star review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the Road to Hāna tour with Polynesian Adventure. Exploring this part of Maui with an experienced driver is a wonderful way to enjoy the breathtaking views, cultural insights, and hidden gems along the journey — all while relaxing and enjoying the ride. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the lunch stop tour. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable island adventure!
With warm aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana
A great choice for an authentic Hawaiian luau—highly recommend.
Swimming under waterfalls, exploring the black sand beach, and enjoying stunning coastal, what a day!
The tour explored remote beaches, rugged coastlines, and scenic viewpoints with plenty of photo stops.
The aquarium is beautifully designed and very well maintained, with exhibits that showcase Hawaii’s unique marine life! Our family had a grand day here.
Aloha and Seasons Greetings Kara,
We are happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed yourselves at Maui Ocean Center and got to see Hawaii's unique marine life up-close.
We will be opening up new exhibits and tours in the new year. Ululani Shave Ice has also recently opened at the Ocean Center.
Please come back and visit Maui and Maui Ocean Center.
Our tour leader, Clive, was full of information and island stories. He made the tour “come alive,” and we feel we know much more about the island.
Perhaps add another actual tour hour?
From the moment we pulled into the parking lot the staff greeted us and helped direct our check in. Everything was smooth and organized. The wait staff were friendly, helpful and willing to go above and beyond to accommodate any requests.
The music, performances and cultural areas were lovely and educational.
We enjoyed the food offerings that helped teach us of the local faire.
Book in advance!
The service is excellent and we are really appreciate our experience.
Stars are much more vivid at 10,000+ feet, even with naked eyes.
It’s well organized and we wish we can go back and re-take the trip, if possible.
Bring your coat, the thick one. It’s 40F (5 deg. C) on the top.
From the time of pickup, there were thick clouds over the mountain, and it was raining below the clouds. Although the tour was conducted because it was said that the summit was above the clouds, even above 2000 meters, we were still in the clouds. At the summit, we couldn't see much because we were surrounded by clouds. The tour conditions state that there may be times when the weather is bad and the scenery cannot be enjoyed, so there was no cash back for the participation fee, but they mentioned that the next attempt would be free of charge.
ピックアップの時から山には厚い雲がかかっていて、雲の下では雨でした。頂上は雲の上とのことでツアーは催行されましたが、2000mを超えても雲の中。頂上も雲の中でほとんど何も見えませんでした。ツアー参加の条件として天候が悪く景観が楽しめないときもあります、とあるので参加費用のキャッシュバックはありませんでしたが、次回の再トライは無料で対応してくれるということでした。
When the weather is bad, I think it's a good idea to contact the tour operator in advance and discuss the possibility of canceling before the tour if it seems unlikely that the weather will improve. H
天候が悪いときは事前にツアー連絡先に連絡し、天候改善が望めそうにないときは催行前キャンセルを相談してみるのが良いと思います。天候が悪いことを理由にキャンセル対応してくれるかどうかはわかりませんが。
On Maui, the best time for whale watching is from December 15 to April 15, but it seems that whales start arriving around October. The two-hour cruise involves searching for whales, moving here and there. The moments when you can see them are brief, so you need to constantly scan the surface of the water.
マウイ島では12月15日〜4月15日までがホエールウオッチングに最適の期間とのことですが、10月くらいからクジラはやってくるようです。2時間のクルーズはクジラを探すためにあっちいったりこっちいったり。見える瞬間は短いので、常に海面を探す必要あり。
I recommend securing a seat with a good view when boarding. Some seats may have poor visibility.
見晴らしのよい席を乗船時に確保することをおすすめします。席によってはみにくい席もあるので。
This was our first time to Hawaii and our first time to a luau. We were so overly impressed by every aspect of this evening. Fortunately for us, the weather was perfect, but the table attendants were friendly. The food was excellent. The flow of the evening was very nice. We learned so much about the history of Hawaiians and the dancing was excellent. We would absolutely recommend old Lahaina and very much hope to go again.
Guide was great! & the heavens were just spectacular!
Ride was pleasant! Saw whales and dolphins on our ferry over and back!
What an amazing experience! It was so fun trying so many different Hawaiian foods and service was excellent. We enjoyed getting to know others at our table and sharing the meal with them. We were glad we choose the table rather than the sit on the floor option. Many of the bigger guys sitting at the low tables struggled and needed to stand frequently to stretch their legs. The show was phenomenal! What a great thing to do to get a feel for Hawaiian history in dance form. So glad we did this!
The food was excellent, the staff were super friendly, and the experience itself couldn't be beat! Photos were priceless and the beauty of both snorkel spots was indescribable
The guide, Yamap, was very attentive and taught us various things, and I am grateful for the care he showed us. It became a wonderful memory, and I definitely recommend going! Next, I want to challenge myself to see the summer night sky.
ガイドの山Pが丁寧に色々教えてもらえるし
気遣いもしてくださり感謝です。
いい思い出作りになりましたぜひ行くべき!
次は夏の星空にチャレンジしに行きたい

We had the best time at Old Lahaina Luau. The staff made the experience fun and we had more than everything we needed! The performers were fantastic, there was so much energy. I loved that the performance included the history of hula, and I felt like I was learning while enjoying the show. Thank you for an amazing night!
We booked early, as was suggested by a friend who lives in Maui. I think that was a good idea.
We participated as a couple. The scenery and content were outstanding, and we were very satisfied. Mr. Yamauchi, who was in charge, was very fun and kind, and his explanations about Maui and the starry sky were easy to understand, making for a wonderful memory. When we visit again, we definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much.
夫婦で参加しました。景色も内容も抜群で大満足でした。担当していただいた山内さんがとても楽しく親切な方でマウイ島や星空の説明も分かり易く素晴らしい思い出になりました。再訪した際にはぜひまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。
Out of the nine participants, we were the only two Japanese, and my wife didn't understand any English at all, but it was really comforting to have explanations in Japanese. The guide didn't even take a break to eat and prepared everything for us, for which we are truly grateful. The starry sky was absolutely amazing, and I was reminded of the summer constellations like the Summer Cross and Subaru that I had studied long ago, which I had completely forgotten about. At the end, the guide spoke in English, passionately discussing the vastness of the universe compared to the shortness and significance of human life, which left a deep impression on me as I got into the car (though I think my wife didn't understand). Initially, I thought it was naive to try to climb Haleakalā by myself. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
9人参加の中で日本人は私たち二人しかおらず、妻は全く英語がわからなかったのですが、やはり日本語で解説されるとホッとします。ガイドさんは自分の食事も取らず、私たちのために準備をしてくれて本当に感謝です。星空も本当に素晴らしくてかつて勉強した夏の十字星やスバルなど久しぶりに聴き、すっかり忘れていたなと思い返しました。最後にガイドさんが英語でしたが、宇宙の壮大さに比べ、人間の人生の短さやその意義などを熱く語ってくれて感激して帰りの車に乗りました(家内はわからなかったと思うけど)。最初は自分でハレアカラに登ろうとしたことが本当に浅はかでした。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
The summit gets quite cold at night, so I think it's best to dress warmly. If you wear glasses, you might want to take them off when looking through the telescope.
頂上は夜かなり冷えますので、防寒はしっかりしたほうが良いと思います。望遠鏡を覗くときにメガネの方ははずした方が良いかもしれません。
Unforgettable day! The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the long drive feel like part of the adventure. We visited several waterfalls (some with short hikes), and the lush rainforest scenery was stunning!
Aloha, Kara! 🌈 We’re so happy to hear your day on the Road to Hana was unforgettable. Our guides love sharing Maui’s waterfalls, rainforest scenery, and hidden gems — and it’s wonderful to know the journey itself felt like part of the adventure. Mahalo for choosing Stardust Hawaii and for sharing your experience! 🌴✨
Really loved this experience for being my first time on a water bike. The water bikes felt even easier to ride than a kayak!
This was a highlight of my Maui trip. If you want an authentic, well-executed luau experience, Old Lahaina Luau is absolutely worth it, and the traditional seating in the front row makes it even more special.
The evening was just wonderful, with beautiful ocean views and cultural demonstrations around the grounds and throughout the show. The food as well was excellent, with a wide range of traditional Hawaiian dishes that were well-prepared and flavorful.
h. The guide explained the entire pineapple-growing process in an easy, engaging way, and the tasting was excellent, truly the freshest pineapple I’ve ever had
I had an incredible experience at the Old Lahaina Luau. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and truly immersed in Hawaiian culture
Yoshi was amazing, he made the entire trip up and down the mountain entertaining just by his talking, facts and nice collection of soothing music. We went with a full bus and still managed to make room for one extra family member, so eight of the back we were grateful for this. The entire sight on the top of the mountaintop was beautiful and alien like but the highlight was the star gazing where Yoshi quickly set up his two telescopes and chairs and blankets for everyone along with the jackets he had already provided us. This coupled with his extensive knowledge of the stars made the entire trip a once in a lifetime experience. I only hope that my soon to be wife and I can take our future children to this tour with Yoshi. I’ll put it to you like this, even if we hadn’t seen any stars I would have been happy just having him drive us up and down the mountain and I had already done it myself, that’s how much I enjoyed his commentary and the ride.
Yoshi was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide with the whole experience being relaxed. We saw some wonderful, once in a lifetime sights. Would definitely recommend this tour.
It was an experience that exceeded my imagination. The sunset and starry sky were very moving. Yamapi's explanations were also easy to understand.
想像の上を行く体験でした。
サンセット 星空とても感動しました。
ヤマピーさんの説明もわかりやすかった
You don't have to prepare dinner; Yamapi will recommend a delicious takeout place.
夕食は準備して行かなくても、ヤマピーさんが美味しいテイクアウト店を教えてくれます
We were told to meet at the Southwest Ticket counter in Maui and no one was there. We talked to an agent with Hawaiian Airlines & told her of our delema & after entering our driver's license # she said we were confirmed on their flight to Honolulu. She was very kind & helped us tremendously.
Next problem was where to meet Sunshine Tours. There wasn't a clear direction as to the meeting place. That was two things where there was no clear direction.
Our tour guide was excellent. He was very informative & very much a people person. We couldn't have gotten anyone better.
We loved it. The food was excellent and it was just an amazing experience all around.
