Maui
My husband and I had a fantastic time on the sunset dinner cruise!
Honestly, we were happy to be on the ocean and enjoy the beautiful sunset. We were pleasantly surprised with the dinner, drinks, and excellent service. The crew was friendly, helpful, and just fantastic—especially the captain who went over and beyond finding whales for us to see. The singer/guitar player was outstanding. We enjoyed dancing on the bough of the boat.
Thank you for helping to make our first trip to Maui more memorable!
Arrive at least half an hour before departure. There is paperwork to fill out, temp checks etc. Nice ferry ride. 45 minutes. Saw a whale in late April! You can walk to the beach from the ferry landing on Lanai.
The crew worked very hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. We saw whales, dolphins, had a nice lunch. I would recommend pacific whale!
The crew was very friendly, fun, informative, and made this a safe experience for all. The food was delicious! One of the divers showed us rare sea life and the captain spotted whales for us to see. Although we weren’t able to go to Molokini Crater due to weather conditions (we could see this from Coral Gardens that it would be rough that way), we still had an incredible experience. We saw tons of sea life, got great pictures, and had terrific hospitality. Highly recommend this charter!
Aloha Kimberly,
Thank you for your review! I'm happy to read that you had an incredible experience with us on board the Four Winds II! We appreciate the recommendation and we hope to see you on board with us again next time you vacation on Maui!

Had amazing time. Went APIRL 2nd 2021. The music was great. Captain was awesome. He stop the boat numinous time so we can see the whales. Which was awesome concerning it was at the end of whale season. The food was fantastic! Definitely would recommend.
The food was very good and the family serving style was great, as opposed to buffets. The entertainment was wonderful and told the Polynesian story well. And the view was breathtaking.
We have had years of whale watch trips. Some were spectacular and others were just OK. This trip was OK. Not much activity from the whales. We normally go out on catamarans but this was a very large boat.
Whales, fish, whales whales whales. This was awesome. Small great group! Fantastic snuba instructor from gotcha snuba. Delicious food. Overall great experience.
Mahalo for the review! We hope to see you again!
Aloha,
Nikki
The Maui Princess cruise was exceptional- the food was fantastic and captain, service and performer were terrific. We were especially surprised that the food was of great quality and served just right. We had the prime rib and the Mahi Mahi. Both were perfect! The captain stopped for some whale sittings. Would highly recommend supported this cruise as they were off for 11 months and now only go out Wednesday’s- this was their forth sailing since reopening. Highly recommend this for any occasion!
The jungle treasure hunt was the PERFECT way to spend some quality time in a different part of Maui with my daughter!
Aloha and mahalo for joining us. We are happy to hear you had a great time! Thank you for sharing it with other travelers :-) A hui hou (until w meet again)
Such a cool and relaxing experience. We went during whale watching season and saw so many whales. The drinks and company were great, and so was the food! 100% recommended.
Great sunset cruise! The crew was amazing! It rained most of our cruise but seeing so many whales up close and the positive vibes from the crew was well worth it!! The food and drinks were great!!
Thank you guys so much for taking the time to write this review, We really appreciate the kind words and are delighted you guys had such a good time!
Hopefully we will sail with you again in the not too distant future.
Our group of five enjoyed every minute of the cruise. Crew and captain were wonderful and attentive. Whales were around us constantly. Fun music and yummy food and drink. Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries at sunset was the perfect ending. We will definitely do this again.
This excursion was all around amazing. The staff, food, and drinks were all wonderful. Beautiful sunset and we saw SO many whales. We will be booking this every time we visit Maui. A great experience.
Very knowledgeable staff and super friendly. Good adherance to the COVID protocols. Food was delicious and better than we expected. The only bummer was we were sitting on the wrong side of the ship to watch the sunset:(
This is my third time at the Old Lahaina Luau, and I enjoy it every time because the quality of the performances is high. The food is delicious, and I'm happy with the unlimited alcohol and the desserts that are more than enough to eat. This time, when I tried to give a tip to the waiter, I was told, "It's included in the price," and they declined. I'm very satisfied with the banana bread as a souvenir.
3度目のオールド・ラハイナ・ルアウですが、パフォーマンスのクオリティが高いので毎回楽しんでいます。料理も美味しく、食べきれないほどのデザートと、飲み放題のアルコールも嬉しいですし、今回ウェイターにチップを渡そうとしたら「料金に含まれている」と言って断られました。お土産のバナナブレッド付きで大満足です。
The driver this time was friendly and very knowledgeable. It's an English tour, and I recommend it. The bus was spacious and comfortable. Since it was a tour with dinner, we couldn't see the starry sky, but aside from that, there were no issues.
今回の担当ドライバーは,フレンドリーで知識も豊富でした。英語のツアーですがお勧めです。バスもゆったりとして快適でした。ディナーがあるツアーなので星空は見ることができませんでしたがそれを除けば問題なしです。
We had a truly beautiful time during this crazy pandemic. Social distancing was done well. Dinner was yummy!
The trade winds kept us from snorkeling at Molokini but the crew found us a quiet and calm cove to snorkel at. The crew was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the drinks were free. A truly enjoyable excursion. Fellow passengers kept saying that is was their favorite excursion as well. I highly recommend that you take this trip.
Mahalo for joining us and for writing a review!
Staff was awesome and boat was great. One of the few attractions ope. During the pandemic as Hawaii was coming out of mandatory quarantine (Oct. 2020). Had a great time. Would recommend this excursion/activity.
I would have preferred a Japanese guide. Also, after the big jump right in front of us, we were able to see the baby whale do about 10 small jumps over the course of 30 minutes, which was better than I imagined.
日本語ガイドの方が良かったです。また、目の前での大ジャンプの後、子供クジラが30分ぐらいの間に10回ぐらい小ジャンプも見れて、想像以上に良かったです。
Thanks to the Japanese guide, we were able to enjoy ourselves with small children without any worries. Since it was right in the middle of the season, we were able to see whales up close.
日本人ガイドが付いてくれたおかげで、小さい子供連れでも安心して楽しめました。シーズン真っ只中と言う事もあり、間近でクジラを見る事が出来ました。
Our driver, Judy, was cautious and humerous. She made our trip up and down Haleakala crater so enjoyable. The sunset was beautiful and the dinner was surprisingly good. Definitely worth every penny!
We had a great ferry ride to Lanai’i and a fun day on the island.
Easy parking, easy exit even with the large crowd. Hospitality A++, servers and staff amazing! The show was exciting and beautiful!
It was a recommended optional tour!
I was very satisfied to see many mother and baby whales!
The boarding time was ample, and I had a valuable experience.
If I have the opportunity to stay on Maui again, I would definitely like to rely on you!
オススメオプショナルツアーでした!
親子鯨が沢山見れて大変満足でした!
乗船時間もたっぷりで、貴重な体験が出来ました。
次回もマウイ島に滞在する機会があれば是非お世話になりたいです!
We had a Japanese guide with us, and we were able to see a lot of whales! I wanted to see them a bit closer, but it's all about luck. I tend to get lost at the meeting point, so I went to check it out early, but it wasn't open. That made me a bit anxious.
日本人のガイドさんもついていただき、クジラは沢山観れました!
もう少し近くで観たかったけれど、それもこれも運ですね。
集合場所いつも迷子になるので、早めに一度観に行ったのですが、空いておらず。
そこが不安になりました。
Our trip was amazing! Great food and drinks! The entire staff was very accommodating and served the best food and drinks! The catamaran was very safe and top of the line. Very fun atmosphere! Our cruise also turned into whale watching! We had so much fun we booked another trip a few days later. We would recommend this trip if you want to have a beautiful, fun evening!
The boat crew was amazing. You will take your shoes off prior to entering the boat and the crew assists with the facilitation of passengers onto the vessel. The main challenge is timing the waves with getting passengers on board. The crew did a great job with this and ensured everyone stayed dry (for the most part!) Once on the boat there are several different seating options: Bean bag chairs, bench seating down by the bar area, and seating on the front of the vessel. I would recommend sitting in the bean bags as they are comfortable and provide a great view (just be careful with your phone as there are slits it could possibly fall through into the ocean.)
Dinner was served on the boat and it was excellent. The brussel sprouts and chicken bites were delicious! Drinks were also served and the crew did a great job with serving everyone in a timely and frequent manner. The trip was extra special for me as my wonderful fiance (then boyfriend) proposed to me as the sun set over the mountains. My friends worked with the crew members to make the moment extra special as they deliberately turned the boat for us to see the sunset in our engagement pictures. During/after the proposal they provided us with a champagne shower and the rest of the bottle of champagne! Truly a moment we will never forget.
A++ experience!
I participated alone. I had some anxiety, but the check-in and boarding went smoothly. There were whales everywhere. Every time we spotted one, the captain and the other passengers would announce it and point it out, so we moved the boat left and right to take pictures! At the end of the tour, a whale came close to the boat, dove underneath, and popped up to play with us! Everyone was super excited! ☆ Since there was some wind and occasional rain (though not for long), I think it's a good idea to bring a windbreaker. It was a very valuable experience, and I was moved. Thank you very much!!
1人で参加をしました。
不安もありましたがチェックインから乗船、その後もスムーズでした。クジラはあちこちにいました。見えるたびにキャプテンや乗客の皆さんがアナウンスや指差しをして教えてくれたので船を右に左に飛び回って写真を撮りました!
ツアーの最後にはクジラが船に近づいてきて、船の下に潜り込み、顔を出して戯れてくれました!
みんな大興奮でした☆
風があったり、たまに雨が降ったり(長い時間ではありませんが)するので、ウインドブレーカーを持参しても良いと思います。
とても貴重な体験が出来感動しました。
ありがとうございました!!
