Maui
I made a reservation the day before. It was very convenient since I could get immediate confirmation. I went to the counter at the time indicated on the voucher (30 minutes before the start), but there was no one else there, and people started gathering about 10 minutes before. There are no chairs to wait on, and it was hot, so I think arriving about 10 minutes early is sufficient. Once we boarded the boat, we quickly saw a whale spouting water after about 10 minutes. We spotted around 10 whales before reaching Lanai Island. One whale jumped, and I could see its entire belly, but unfortunately, I couldn't take a photo, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour with plenty of whale sightings.
前日に予約しました。即時確約出来るのでとても便利でした。当時バウチャーの通りの時間(開始の30分前)にカウンターに行きましたが他に誰もいなくて10分前くらいに人が集まってきました。待つところは椅子もないし暑いので10分前くらいに行くので十分だと思います。船に乗り込み10分ほどするとすぐにくじらが塩を吹くのが見えました。ラナイ島の近くに行くまでに10頭くらいのクジラが見えました。1回だけジャンプしてお腹も全部見えましたが写真には撮れずで残念でした笑笑 くじらたくさん見られて大満足のツアーでした。
We participated as a family of five. The children were even happier than we expected, and the Japanese guide was easy to understand and kind. I was worried about the location, but I found it right away.
家族5名で参加させていただきました 期待していた以上に子供達も喜んで日本語ガイドもわかりやすく親切でした 場所が心配でしたがすぐに解りました
Our large group of nine enjoyed this adventure. Watched the sunrise as we waited for the boat and enjoyed a light snack for breakfast. Costco muffins, juice and coffee. Snorkeling gear was good quality and the staff was very helpful. The crew leader, Jill, was funny.
Saw whales and turtles and fish of course. Great day.
This tour was so fun. We had a really nice driver that talked about the culture and history of Maui, and she even asked my wife and I questions about ourselves. She knew all the best places to stop & take pictures, eat banana bread, and what literally every plant was. She was truly and expert guide. At one point, she stopped at a waterfall for us to look at, and she said we could jump off of it and she'd take a video of us. And we did!! It was SO fun. Wow. I would do this again. Anyone who goes might want to bring a change of clothes/a towel in case you want to go for a swim!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! Traveling the Road to Hana is an epic experience. Becoming friends the the sweetest part :) Thank you so much for trusting us with your precious time on the island. Wishing you the very best in all you do! A hui hou, until next time
I waited a long time for the whale to appear, and finally, it showed up. I was able to encounter it at the fountain. The weather was also perfect, and I had a great time.
なかなか現れてくれず、鯨をずーと待ってました。やっと現れてくれて。⛲と出会うこと出来ました。天気も最高☀️で満喫出来ました。
I was able to see the whales breaching and diving multiple times. However, this is a matter of luck, and since it was just before the season, I only saw one whale. Additionally, due to regulations, the boat has a set distance it must maintain from the whales, so we were at a certain distance away.
くじらが上に飛び出す姿と、ダイビングする姿が何度も見れました。
しかし、これは運ですが、時期もシーズン直前ということで、一匹しか見れませんでした。
また、船はルール上くじらに近づける距離が決まっているため、ある程度離れた位置になります。
The crew was really awesome, the food was delicious and much more appealing than any Luau dinner that I have attended. I like the fact that cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were served before dinner and the ceremony. I enjoyed the ambience of sailing on the ocean, during the ceremony. The captain of the vessel was a delight. I highly recommend this adventure.
I thought the boat tour hadn't started yet, but I found a tour here and contacted you right away. Thank you for your prompt response regarding the Japanese interpreter, even on such short notice. In the end, it was too early in the morning, so I couldn't make it, but it turned out to be a wonderful whale watching experience, and I was truly moved. I've been on boats many times, but it's been a while since I was able to capture a photo of a jump. The pictures I took with my smartphone are a bit blurry, but I'm so thrilled that I got to see and capture it. Thank you for your attentive support.
まだ船のツアーが始まっていないのかと思っていたのですが、こちらでのツアーをみつけ早速連絡させて頂きました。
急にもかかわらず、日本人通訳の事のお返事頂きありがとうございました。結局、朝早かったので、無理でしたが、とても素晴らしいホエールウォッチングになり感動しました。
何度も船に乗ってますが、ジャンプの写真が撮れたのは、久しぶりです。
スマホで撮ったのでボケてますが、見れたこと、撮れたことに感動です。
いろいろご丁寧な対応ありがとうございました
Great trip! Nice cruising both ways. Took the 0900 ferry, had lunch at the Four Seasons, then caught the 1400 ferry back to Lahaina. We even had some whale sightings! Very nice. Have done this before, will do it again!
I wanted to sign up for the Japanese tour, but it was fully booked with no cancellations, so I reluctantly joined the English tour, which turned out to be the right decision. The van was large enough that I could use two seats by myself, making it quite spacious compared to the number of people, and they provided a Japanese tablet for explanations, so my anxiety about the language was alleviated. The meal at the golf course café was warm and delicious.
Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour, and at times it felt like we were driving through the clouds, so I couldn't see the scenery around us. However, when we reached the summit, the clouds cleared for a short time, and I was able to enjoy the crater and the sunset. The English tour ends at sunset, so we didn't get to see the starry sky, but I didn't feel disappointed since I thought the clouds would have blocked the stars anyway.
It can be cold at the summit, so it's best to dress warmly. There were participants in shorts and short-sleeve shirts who borrowed jackets from the driver, and they looked cold. I also spotted the Japanese tour vehicle at the summit, and compared to the English tour, it seemed smaller and likely cramped since it was fully booked. For those who get motion sickness, I recommend the larger van from the English tour.
日本語ツァーに申し込み希望でしたが、満席でキャンセルもなかったので、仕方なく英語ツァーに参加しましたが、結果的にはこれが大正解でした。
バンは大型で1人で2席が使えるほど人数に比べゆったりとしており、説明も日本語のタブレットを貸していただいたので、英語の不安はなくなりました。
食事もゴルフ場のカフェで温かい美味しくいただきました。
ただ、当日はあいにくの雨天で途中は雲の中を走っているようで周りの景色は見えませんでしたが、頂上に着くと短時間でしたが雲も去り、クレーターと夕陽を堪能できました。
英語ツァーは夕陽までで星空を見ないで帰ってしまいますが、この日は雲で星が見えなかったと思えるので、残念には感じませんでした。
頂上は寒いので防寒はしっかりいておいた方が良いですよ。短パン・半袖シャツで参加されていた方は、運転の方のヤッケを借りましたが寒そうでした。
なお、頂上で日本語ツァーの車を見かけましたが、英語ツァーに比べると小型で、かつ満席で窮屈だったのかなと思えました。
車酔いするかたは、英語ツァーの大きなバンがお薦めです。
We loved our day trip to Lana’i. We saw whales on the way to Lana’i right from the ferry. We rented a Jeep and enjoyed exploring the island. We enjoyed the 5th Friday festival en took the evening boat back. Great day!
Everything and everyone exceeded our expectations. Your greeted with a lei and a drink take you to your seats explain how things work suggest trying all the drinks on the menu answer any questions host is there with drinks & appetizers whenever you request show food drinks all great parking was free without having a long walk.. Highly recommended especially if you are only doing 1
My husband and I had date night and had an amazing time! Great Sunset, food and drinks. Everyone who worked on board was also fantastic and very helpful. I highly recommend.
Guys thank you so much for the kind review! This is why we do what we do
Very knowledgeable tour guide and breathtaking views. It was also great to go along with a small group, so the tour could be catered to us. We would go again!
Great tour, knowledgeable tour guide, and picturesque views.
Perfect amount of time. Food was delicious and staff was great. Loved the energy and music while cruising the coastline. We were there for 10 days with a large group so it was a perfect “getaway” one evening for me and my husband. Would definitely recommend this!
My first luau dinner I have been to and oh my! It was beyond beautiful! From the beginning the staff were friendly, smiling, welcoming and so welcoming, the open bar had some amazing most delicious drinks! The show at the end was breathtaking and so fun to watch!! Thank you to this company for giving us a great evening with delicious food and drinks and an amazing show! Thank you to our waiter too! Amazing!
I had requested a tatami seating area, but I ended up watching from the very front in the middle of the stage. Also, the staff crew was very considerate, and I truly appreciated the love and aloha of the night. Thank you very much.
座敷リクエストしていましたが、ステージ真ん中一番前にての観覧でした。。
又、スタッフクルーの気遣い沢山で、愛のあるまさに、alohaな夜に感謝でした。
ありがとうございました
Beautiful Evening! Great service and entertainment.
Aloha!!! Had an awesome time. Food was good as well as drinks. Loved the entertainment. I wore a dress with heels. I didn’t think that one through. My advice to the ladies...wear something flat footed and you will feel more sure footed on the boat. Would recommend this experience for everyone. There were all ages in the cruise including kiddos. Overall great experience for price.
The key to this excursian are the husband and wife do everything team. The only legitimate south Pacific experience on Maui. Thanks to the great staff. Everything else on the island felt fake-nice.
It was a great experience, everything was great, the food the dance the sunrise also I meet great people the dance perform was amazing and also thank you to show as the best of the Maui. Definitely recommended
The cruise had a delayed start since they were waiting for a number of people from a large group (wedding party). It was great that they waited and they extended the length of the cruise to coincide with the time spent at the habour.
The staff who managed the bar were very efficient, they also provided the dance show which was very good. The Dance show made the evening!
Good food, and an enjoyable evening.
I arrived on Lanai Island by ferry and wanted to take the shuttle bus to the Four Seasons Hotel, but I missed it. However, a driver from one of the only two taxis on Lanai Island offered to help, and I was able to enjoy a tour of the island.
ラナイ島にフェリーで着いて、フォーシーズンズホテルのシャトルバスに乗りたかったけれど、乗り遅れていまいました。しかし、ラナイ島で2台しかないタクシーのドライバーが声をかかてくれて、島内観光が出来て楽しめました。
This is our first time to Maui and we had the most amazing experience with this dinner sail. The staff were so nice and personable from the beginning to the end. There happened to be a big pre-wedding party on board with us. We were initially worried that the passengers would be too many for the crew to handle. On the contrary, once we are on board, we did not feel crowded at all. There were plenty of food and drinks for everyone. The staff were so attentive that they made sure that everyone was taken care of. They even helped some of the guests to carry the food/drink to the upper deck when needed. The dance and cultural performance were very unique and created a nice ambience. The sunset view was so breathtaking!!
After the sunset, with the drink and dessert, all of the guests were seemed very relaxed and happy. The captain put on the music and some of the guests were dancing on the upper deck. It was great to see so many happy faces!
All and all, this is the best dinner cruise I have ever experienced. It had exceeded my expectation and I would recommend it to everyone going to Maui!
Coming to Hawaii/Maui for the first time was a dream vacation that came true. We booked The Pride of Maui Sunset Luau Dinner cruise with open bar& Polynesian dance. The cruise was a lot of fun. The crew members were very nice. The food was very tasty/ delicious, and the drinks at the open bar were exceptionally good! While we cruised the calm Pacific Ocean enjoying the beautiful scenery we also got to watch the hula dancers that were very nice and friendly,and amazing dancers. As the Pride of Maui sailed into the sunset was a breathtaking view. Then the full moon appeared from behind the mountain tops it was astonishing. The lovely songs that the hula dancers were singing made me feel very special and relaxed and welcomed.As our cruise come to an end the crew hugged us and thanked us for coming. So like you ever get a chance to visit Maui we would recommend you to book this beautiful experience! You will never forget it ! MAHALO!❤❤
The Sunset Cruise was OUTSTANDING!!!!! We visited Maui as a family of 12 people. We wanted to find something that allowed the kids as well as adults to enjoy. This AMAZING cruise was just that, there was enough seating for us all to hang out together as a family. The Polynesian dance was AWESOME, they encouraged audience participation which the kids really enjoyed. The crew were very friendly and welcoming as we boarded. I would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Maui.
I would recommend the Pride of Maui Sunset Dinner Cruise. The staff was very kind and generous, even offering to bring my drinks for me to the top deck. The food and drinks were amazing, entertainment/luau show was great. And a beautiful sunset capped off a great evening. Thank you for a great evening!
This sunset dinner cruise on the Pride of Maui was excellent. The staff were very nice from beginning to end and went out of their way to make everyone in our party feel like a part of their family. This particular day we saw the sunset and a full moon. Would recommend this cruise.
Kimo and Moka made this sunset cruise so much fun. This cute hula dancing married couple really know how to get the party going. The food was amazing. The drinks were tasty and strong. This sunset cruise is a can't miss. So much fun crew was awesome food was great open bar amazing
