The ferry boat is clean, roomy and the crew is ready to assist. It was well worth the money.

The expedition ship was comfortable. The seats on the deck can sway a bit, so I recommend indoor seats on the first floor for those who are prone to seasickness.
I took the first morning trip and was able to see the sunrise, which was lovely. Since I went in February, I also spotted whales jumping in the distance.
Because it was winter, the waves in Full Poi Bay were strong, and I couldn't enjoy snorkeling much, but the lunch at Four Seasons was exquisite, and I spent a lovely time with a great view.
I was looking forward to seeing dolphins, but it seems they had come late the previous evening and didn't show up in the morning. They often appear in the morning and around 4:00 PM.
After getting off the boat, there is a shuttle bus to Lanai City, and I decided to check it out. However, it costs $25 for a round trip, and in the morning, nothing was open, so there was nothing to see. I felt a bit deceived, but there's nothing I can do about it.
It might have been better during the day. If you're going in winter, it might be better to go not on the first morning trip but to stay from around noon to the evening.
エクスペディションの船は快適でした。デッキの席は少し揺れが大きいですので酔いやすい方は一階の室内の席をお勧めします。
私は朝一の便で行きましたが、丁度日の出が見られて素敵でした。2月に行ったので、遠くでクジラも跳ねてました。
冬場だったので、フルポエ湾は波が強くシュノーケリングもあまり楽しめなかったのですが、フォーシーズンズのランチは絶品で、いい景色の中優雅な時間を過ごしました。
楽しみにしていたイルカも前日の夕方遅くに来ていたみたいで、午前中には来ませんでした。朝と16:00頃に来ることが多いそうです。
船を降りたらラナイシティにいくシャトルバスがあるのですが、なんとなく行ってみてしまったのですが一人往復$25もする上に、朝はどこも開いておらず何も見るものがありませんでした。騙された気分ですがしょうがありません。
昼間だったらもう少しよかったかも。
冬場に行くなら朝一の便じゃなくて、昼ぐらいから夕方までいるのがいいかもしれませんね。

We loved this luau. Great food, beautiful setting, and the Lei's were the perfect touch. The activities they had for children had them entertained while we waited for the show to start. I would go again for sure!!

The day after arriving in Maui, I went there. Since I included it in the first half of my stay, it really made me feel like I was in Hawaii! It was a relaxing time. As rumored, every dish was very delicious. They also made sure to allocate time for meals, so I was able to enjoy both the food and the show. I would love to go again.
マウイ島到着の翌日行きました。滞在予定の前半に組み込んだため、ハワイに来たんだ~!と思わせてくれたリラックスタイムでした。
噂に違わずお料理はどれもとても美味しかったです。
食事の時間もちゃんと確保してくれるので、食事もショーもどちらも両方楽しめました。また行きたいと思います。

I am VERY disappointed with this Luau. I have attended many luau's in Maui and this was my second time to this one and I will never book again. The guys performance was way better than the girls. The luau seemed shorter than the last time and of all luau's I have attended. We paid ALL this money for 3 of us. It was NOT cheap. 200.00+ dollars is quite much when your expecting a good show. Every luau I have been to, we were able totake pic with. This time NO1 did. All the dancers left. We paid for our "luau" picture and our 7 yr old son was soo excited because he thought he was going to be able to take pictures. We went to Maui on our honeymoon last yr and attended The Royal Lahaina and it was so great. It felt like how a luau should. The experience was amazing. We took pic with the performers and our son saw the pictures and wanted to do everything we did. I attended the drums of the pacific in 2007 with my late brother who recently passed and it was great. I wanted to go to this one to reminice about my time with my brother. Needless to say I hate posting a bad review because I love Hawaii. My sons first time in Hawaii and THIS was suppose to be the highlight. :/

The Ferry was clean, the staff was well organized and we sat in the shaded air conditioned area upstairs as we didn't need any more direct sunlight. The return time is flexible and we liked touring the top up Lanai as it is more of an alpine experience than we expected for Hawaii. We had lunch at a very nice little diner and the wife bought a painting from a local artist - All in all a good, enjoyable day and an alternative to being on Maui all week long.

I went to this luau with my wife to celebrate our anniversary. The oceanfront location was great, and we were staying at the Wailea Beach Marriott so it was convenient. The food was great. I know a lot of people were not keen to try their "poi" but what's the point of travelling if you don't eat something different? I personally liked it when I ate it with the "lomilomi." The fire-knife dancer was AMAZING. It's crazy how he's not burning himself! They also had a lot of vendors you can purchase souvenirs from. My wife bought some jewelry. Highly recommended.

The sign in was a mess! We signed up for the VIP seats for $15/person. When we got there they said they've raised their prices to $25 per person. I thought that was odd...I showed them my papers that said $15/person so thats all we paid. The people in front of us had issues too! LOVED the vendors that were there! They had some very nice things and were friendly. The atmosphere was great...by the ocean! The food was as expected....awesome! The Luau was fun and exciting.

The preferred seating was behind a whole section of hotel preferred seating. So don't pay for that. Food was buffet style and tasteless. The drinks are premade with ice and sitting on large trays, getting watered down, so the staff can just grab them fast. The said they had a full bar, but when we asked for something else, the bartender was upset he had to make it. Only 2 types of beer. They did advertising of products they were selling in the hotel 4 times during the show. We had a people that live on the island tell us we should have gone to the Luau in Lahaina.

I participated on the first day of my trip.
The show during the sunset was wonderfully beautiful.
Also, there were no other Japanese people around us, which made me feel like I was abroad and I really enjoyed it.
The host asked the couples celebrating their wedding anniversaries how many years they had been married, and there was a surprise where everyone celebrated together. I was particularly moved by the couple celebrating their 54th anniversary who shared a sweet kiss.
I definitely want to go when I get married!
As for the food... the bread was fluffy and delicious, but the other dishes had an American feel and weren't very tasty.
旅行初日に参加しました。
夕日が沈む中のショーが素晴らしく美しいショーでした。
また、周りに私達以外に一人も日本人が居なく海外に来た感があり楽しめました☆
司会の方が結婚記念日の方に何年目か聞いて行き皆で祝福するとゆうサプライズがあり、中でも54周年の夫婦が可愛くキスしてたのに感動しました♡♡♡
私も結婚した時にはぜひ行きたいと思いました♡

It was a garden party filled with a variety of events held around sunset. The venue was a top-notch scenic spot where we could enjoy various shows and a buffet meal while watching the sunset over the sea. Additionally, the performers seemed to be a lineup of stunningly handsome men and beautiful women. Most participants were from the mainland United States, and since the event was conducted entirely in English, my grandmother, who doesn't understand much English, might have been a bit confused.
日没をはさんで催されるイベント盛り沢山のガーデンパーティーでした。会場は一級の景勝地で海の彼方に沈みゆく夕日を眺めながら様々なショーとバッフェ形式の食事を楽しめました。また、ショーの出演者たちは、見とれるようなイケメンと美女ぞろいだったように感じました。参加者はアメリカ本土からが中心で、司会進行は英語のみなので英語があまりわからない祖母は少し困惑気味だったかもしれません。
