Maui
We had a late flight our last day in Maui so we wanted something fun and easy to do after we checked out of our condo. The MauI Ocean Center was a really fun time and educational to boot. There is a mix of outdoor and indoor spaces, an interactive show on feeding the sharks and rays, and plenty of exhibits that allow you up close views of the fish and turtles we saw while snorkeling.
The 3d video on whales was well done and the crowds were light enough to allow us good access to all the different viewing areas.
Such a fun experience. There were 4 in our party. Two actually went snorkeling and the other two watched turtles. The staff went above and beyond.
Nice atmosphere! Great dances which told stories. Engaging!
Just a great show. Loved how it was about the entire pacific island triangle heritage. Definitely worth the money for the VIP.
It was just a normal ferry ride from Maui to Lanai that took about a 45 minute ride each way. The boat was not full so it was nice that you had some room to not have to sit next to someone. Though there was a line I didn't worry because there were plenty of seats. If you prefer not to be under the sun then sit inside otherwise if you want to feel the breeze and get some sun then sit upstairs.
Live music was really pleasing, cocktails were only okay! Fun night overall.
Once in a life time experience!! The views were unbelievable! Very friendly driver who made frequent restroom or snack stops. Attentive to groups wants and needs! Pray you get a good group! Dress warm!!
We had a great time at this one . There wasn’t a bad seat in the house . Tons of great food and the performers were fantastic !
We book feast at Lele through Veltra.. The service was outstanding and the entertainment more so . My family had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this luau. . It was a highlight of our vacation.. I would also recommend booking through Veltra with a discount we received which was 5% I believe …definitely a decent amount ..
The luau was amazing. The food was excellent, the dancers were incredibly talented, and we had the best time. It was the best part of our vacation and is an experience that will last a lifetime. Must do if you’re in Maui!!
Sunset cruise was outstanding. The crew was very attentive with drinks / food / pictures etc…. The food was very good and a good mix of items and everyone enjoyed. Highly recommend!
Mahalo!
Staff was awesome. Food great. Sunset phenomenal. I highly recommend this cruise.
I’m so glad I found this booking company. On the Old Lahaina website it was sold out but Veltra was able to secure my reservation for two.
The Lu’au was a fantastic experience with a delicious 5 course meal, beautiful Ambiente and traditional dances, stories and music. The Old Lahaina Lu’au called me the day before to confirm dietary requirements and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend booking through Veltra to experience this unique tradition.
This is our first luau so not a lot to compare it to. Check in was super easy and the staff was great. The show
Overall the performers were talented and we appreciated that it was a show of different styles of traditional dance from several Pacific islands. The fire dance at the end was fantatic as well. It was hard to understand some of what was going on as the audio was not super clear and we were disappointed that our table was situated where we could only see 2/3 of the stage.
The meal
The appetizer and desert were really good, poke and Mac salad with pineapple and desert was coconut cream cake.What was not good was the main dish...dry mahi mahi, dry steak and dry pulled pork with rice in middle...really a big let-down.
All in all a mixed bag...great performers but a bit of a let down with the obstructed view and less than stellar meal.
Good vibes and excellent views. We learned about the surrounding islands, met some good people and had a really great time
Great time, kids love it, amazing view from boat ,
Very professional service
The ferry ride to Lanai from Maui was on time, very organized, and smooth sailing at 6:45 in the morning. We spent the day in Lanai, and definitely worth it! Lanai was beautiful, and people there were all very friendly. The ferry ride going back to Maui from Lanai again on time. We didn't have to check-in again as we already have our boarding pass when we took it in the morning. Ride was good, wth a few rough spots as it was 5:30 in the afternoon, but I felt very safe. Will definitely do it again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!
This experience was easy from start to finish - easy booking on line, staff courteous, informing, and efficient. The ride itself was very relaxing and the views were outstanding. So glad we decided to take this ferry to Lanai instead of flying over!
Top dinner cruise with professional approach tasty food and drinks with smiling service
Exceptional sitting for couples with privacy
Keep up the good work
Nice place. Clean restrooms. Buffett simple but food was good. Show was good but little drawn out.
I searched all the available tours for the sunrise at Haleakala and found this one wounded the best suited for me and I was not disappointed. We were able to be picked up from our hotel (Hyatt regency on the west side of the island) which was a huge help as me and my husband do not drive. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our driver was Chris who was a huge credit to the tour, was very welcoming. He took the time to ask different groups and couples where they were from and bonded with us. The summit was incredible, you couldn’t believe how high up you were! It does get cold up there but coming from England it was like being back home (so do dress up warm and change later for the towns). Although it was a cloudy sunrise, the experience was still amazing with all the knowledge Chris gave and offering to take amazing photos for us all. It may be a once in a lifetime experience but we still would want to do it all again.
The weather, music, food, drinks and service was great
We took the ferry to Lanai and then had a taxi take us on a tour. It was a great way to see Lanai without staying there
The staff was outstanding and very friendly. They took time to make sure everyone was well taken care of. The food was fantastic and plentiful. I highly recommend this cruise.
The experience was fun. The crew was very nice. The gear provided needs a serious update. Old a little gross and very poor quality. I would absoloutly recommend the experience to anyone coming but I would deffinitly recommend to aqua adventures to update the snorkel gear.
Excellent ferry to Lanai from Lahaina. The crew were super knowledgeable about passengers’ safety and were very friendly. We decided to shorten our visit in Lanai bec of the rain and they were able to accommodate us.
We really enjoyed the Feast At Lele luau. It has been quite some time since we've been to watch a luau and were in the mood to seeing the beautiful dances of Polynesia. The setting is beautiful by the water. The hosts & hostesses were all friendly & helpfully answered our question. This was the first luau that I've been to where each course was served to us rather than a large buffet. We liked this style because the servers could explain what was in each dish and we liked that each course corresponded with the island whose dance was being shown. The extra thing that we appreciated was there ability to accommodate my partners coconut allergy which we could be challenging when serving food from the islands, but they expertly were able to pivot for him in creative ways that still allowed him to enjoy most of what they chefs prepared for everyone else & he felt satisfied by the culinary experience. So much kudos to the kitchen staff.
The show itself was beautiful to watch. We enjoyed the band that played in the beginning and in between each dance routine. The host was helped guide & give a little of info on each of the dances. The dancers were great as well. I definitely would recommend the Feast at Lele if you want the luau experience.
Nice Cruise But Food Was Lacking. We were at a table with another couple whom also didn't enjoy the meal. The prime rib was well done which isn't how prime rib is supposed to be made and the chicken was tough and both meals had to put some Work in to cut the meat. The other couple had the same and felt the same. For the price the food should definitely be better. Other than the food the cruise and entertainment were nice.
This was perfect for a half day trip to several snorkeling destinations. The crew was a lot of fun and personable and had great food prepped for us. Very easy going and the underwater wildlife was great! I highly recommend this tour group.
A great day and time - learned about so much history and how special the volcano is to the people of Maui - the driver was very good and made the trip very enjoyable- I highly recommend this trip
