Maui
It was my first time going to the Haleakalā sunset, and I was very moved by the sunset.
The guide only spoke English, so there were a few parts that were a bit difficult to understand, but I enjoyed it without any problems.
The food was delicious.
I think it would have been even better if I had done more research beforehand.
ハレアカラ サンセットに行くのは初めてでしたので、
その夕陽はとても感動しました。
ガイドさんが英語オンリーでしたので、ちょっと分かりにくい
ところもありましたが、問題なく楽しめました。
食事も美味しかったです。
事前に自分で下調べしたらもっとよかったかと思いました。
The crew was really nice, the 2 spots were amazing ! 4 stars only because unfortunately we didn’t see any turtle, but the overall experience is still outstanding.
This tour is fantastic. We enjoyed every minut from start to the end. Beautiful views and the best guide ever.
Thank you so much Pia! We appreciate you taking the time to write a few words of recommendation. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you too!! Warmest aloha ~ The Holo Holo Hui
Rain is unpredictable I get that. But after a rainstorm and all the food is soaked, why would you ask how your food was and if you’re done? Have a backup plan please! I would’ve paid $50 a person instead of what I paid.
The people we’re really friendly. They teaches us how to snorkel properly. The only thing that sounded bad was that one of the worker not the captain but the one under him. Was calling a guy names because the was scared to get in the water that’s not rite he was calling him cupcake, fruitcake that’s just bulling to me
We loved the show it was amazing will do it again if we go to Maui. The food was amazing i ate a lot lol. Just need to get better looking girls and guys their aight but you guys can do a little better no offense
Great dinner and show plenty to eat service was spectacular and show was awesome recommend it to others they start you off with cocktails and allow you to walk around the grounds also show you how the pig is roasted before the meal very informative
This was wonderful experience! Captain Ryan and his crew were nothing less than fantastic! Saw hundreds of dolphins (only because of Captain Ryan’s experience), humpback whale and calf and the snorkeling was incredible. The whole crew was very friendly and made us feel at ease! Will definitely book again!
Had a great time, good food, good drinks, good time
I had the best time ever with my tour guide Sammy. She was so much fun to be with. I felt like I was out with a friend for the day. She was more than happy to share her knowledge and appreciation of Hawaiian culture, heritage and history.
I learned so much that day. She made Maui come alive for me, the flora and the fauna and some stories that have been passed down through the ages.

Hi Marian, thank you so much for your wonderful review! Thank you for coming with us and taking the time to write a few words of recommendation. We love Sammy too :) She is a Hawaiian native with a wealth of knowledge and infectious sense of humor too. This makes for a really good day together. Wishing you many more moments of joy, love and laughter. Warmest aloha - The Holo Holo Hui
Took the round trip ferry ride to Lanai. Very comfortable ride. We expected Lanai City to be at the ferry dock...should have done more research.
The ferry runs regularly from Lahaina to Lanai. They are efficient and get you there safely. The ferry is comfortable with enclosed cabins to stay warm and dry...or cool and dry depending on the day.
Absolutely amazing experience! Comfortable ride with stellar views and good company! Watching the sunset on Haleakalā is just breathtaking! Don’t let the clouds fool you. Guide was knowledgeable regarding the area and dinner was delicious! Would definitely do it again!
I thought I would encounter them a bit more, but I only finally found them towards the end. It was great to see them up close, but I do think the timing was off. I would like to try again someday.
もう少し遭遇できるのかなと思っていましたが、最後の方でやっと見つかったくらい。
近くで見れたのは良かったけど、やはり時季が悪かったのかなと思います。
いつかリトライしたいかな
Since the cruise was on April 13th, I was worried that there might not be any whales left. But they found them for us! We were able to see a mother and her calf, along with a male whale chasing after the mother. It turns out this male is not the father, just a pursuer. The mother whale is busy raising her calf and has no interest in him, yet he persistently follows her. Well, it might be nice to have him around like a bodyguard.
Thanks to our Japanese guide, Taka, who provided humorous and detailed explanations, we had a wonderful time. Maui has many surrounding islands, so the water is shallow and there are fewer sharks. This is why whales can safely give birth here. However, there aren't many fish in this area, so the mother whale is sacrificing her own body to feed her calf. Once the calf is big enough, they return to the rich feeding grounds of the Alaskan seas.
I really understood why there are so many whales in Maui, and I’m so glad I chose this cruise. Thank you, Taka!! And thank you, Veltra!!
4月13日のクルーズだったので、もうクジラはいないかと不安でした。でもちゃんと見つけてくれました!一組の親子と、そのお母さんを追いかけるオスのくじらを観ることができました。このオスはお父さんではないそうです。ただのおっかけ。お母さんくじらは子育てで忙しいのでその気はないのに、しくこく追っかけてくるそうです。まぁ、ボディガードみたいでいいのかもしれませんね。
日本人のガイドのタカさんのユーモアあふれる詳しい説明のおかげで、楽しいひと時を送らせていただきました。
マウイは周りに島が多いので水深が浅く、さめが少ないとのこと。だからくじらはここで安心して出産が出来るそうです。でもこのあたりは餌となる魚が少ないのでお母さんくじらは身を削って子供におっぱいをあげているそうです。
子供が十分大きくなったら餌の豊富なアラスカの海に帰っていくそうです。
マウイ島にくじらが多い訳もわかり、本当にこのクルーズにして良かったと思いました。
タカさんありがとう!!
そしてベルトラさんありがとう!!
Nice ride. I appreciated that I could change my return time
The show while enjoying delicious food and drinks at a table right in front of the ocean with a beautiful starry sky was amazing! The Kahiko and Tahitian hula performances were very impressive.
The buffet is served in order by table, and drinks are all-you-can-drink. You will be asked to show your passport when ordering alcohol, but it wasn't necessary after the second time.
It gets quite windy at night, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket! You can enjoy the food, scenery, and show for about three hours.
海が目の前の席で星空も綺麗な中、美味しい料理とドリンクをいただきながらのショーは最高でした!カヒコとタヒチ、フラと見ごたえたっぷりです。
席ごとにビュッフェは順番に案内され、ドリンクは飲み放題です。お酒を頼む時にパスポートの提示を求められますが、2回目以降は特に必要ありませんでした。
夜は風が強いので上着はあった方がいいです!
料理に景色にショーと約3時間、たっぷり楽しめ

The crew was fast and friendly, the ocean was calm and a brilliant blue. Easy does it, there on time and a great way to travel!
The food was great. The show was good. The staff was wonderful. The only drawback was that we had to stand up at the back in order to see anything as our seats were so far away and angled so that the people next to us completely blocked our view!
Great food and saw some whales. Very nice crew members.
Mahalo for joining us!
Wonderful music and very good food! Friendly attentive staff!
I was moved to see whale breaches multiple times near the shore of Maui Island about an hour after departing from Lahaina Harbor at noon on April 7. I later heard from a local instructor that every year, from winter to early spring, 3,000 whales come all the way from Alaska to this area for calving and raising their young.
4月7日のお昼12時にラハイナ港を出航してから、1時間が経つころにマウイ島の岸辺のすぐ近くでクジラのブリッジを何度も見ることができ感動しました。地元インストラクターの人から、あとから聞いたことですが、毎年冬から春先にかけて3000頭のクジラがお産や子育てのために、この地にはるばるアラスカからやってくるんですって。
great experience. we would go gain thanks hawai activities . have a nice day
The hula itself was amazing. I still find myself mesmerized while looking at the videos I took. The meals were also more than sufficient, and the staff was very considerate. However, there were only Japanese people around, and while the family seated next to us spoke to us, I still felt awkward due to the language barrier. I can't help but think that it would be nice to have a show where you can purely enjoy the hula.
フラ自体は最高でした。今でも撮りためたビデオを眺めてうっとりしています。また食事も必要十分であり、スタッフもいろいろと気遣ってもらえました。ただ日本人は自分たちしかおらず、同じ席に着いた家族には声をかけてもらったりもしたのですがやはり言葉の壁で気まずい思いをしました。なんというか純粋にフラだけを楽しめるショーはないものかと思っています。
I participated because it was said to be a limited-time event, and I was able to see whales beyond my expectations. The Japanese guide also took us to a good spot for viewing and was very friendly, which made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. If you're going whale watching, I definitely recommend going with a Japanese guide.
期間限定でしか見られないとのことだったので参加しましたが、期待以上にクジラを見ることができました。また日本語ガイドの方に見やすい船頭まで案内していただき、気さくに声がけもしてもらえたので十分堪能することができました。ホエールウォッチングをするなら断然日本語ガイド付きの方がよいと思います。
Incredible service provided by Steve and Mario!! Loved the overall experience.
Very attentive staff, great experience. Food was good, saw lots of fish and an eel.
It started out as an ordinary boat ride, on a beautiful clear day, light variable winds. Then, nearing Lanai, we noticed dolphins swimming close to the ferry, going the opposite direction. Some were leaping and spinning. Our boat captain took the moment to slow the boat and loop back around to circle the dolphins again. Thrilling boat ride after all!
I guess part of my delight in the day was the weather -- beautiful and warm on the island. Return trip just as smooth as when I went out in the morning. Then saw a whale.
I'd do the trip again in a minute!
The ferry ride was exceptional! Lanai was beautiful! This day trip was the highlight of our Maui stay for my wife and I and our three teen daughters. We will be back again very soon. Mahalo!
The show was great. The food was decent as well. It was a nice experience for my wife and three teen daughters. Mahalo!
