Maui
This was my first time on Maui, and since it was whale watching season, I prayed for a chance to see them and made a reservation. I was filled with anxiety due to the strong winds from the day before, and on the day itself, the weather was gloomy and the sea was rough.
After about 10 minutes of setting out, I spotted a whale's spout! From there, we encountered whales continuously! Since it's nature, you never know what to expect, but I think it's a tour that can be greatly enjoyed!
初マウイ島、ホエールウォッチングの季節なので、出会える事を祈って申し込みさせて頂きました。
前日からの強風に不安しか無く、当日もドンヨリ天気に海は荒々💦
不安しか無く出向🚢💨
出向する事10分程度で鯨の潮吹きを発見!
そこからは引っ切り無しに鯨に遭遇!
自然相手なので何とも言えませんが、大いに楽しめるツアーだと思います!
The advance notice delegation was not necessary. Since there were no life jackets provided, it might be a good idea for those who are anxious to bring their own. I was fine, but for rough seas, motion
事前案内の委任状は不要でした。
ライフジャケットも無しなので、不安な方は用意されて方が良いかもです。
僕は大丈夫でしたが、荒々の海は酔い止め必須ですね💊
Awesome culinary experience with authentic island flavors, nothing challenging, just delicious. Beautiful venue dedicated to this purpose only. It felt like attending a ceremony and celebrating with native people.
I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.
- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).
最高の一言に尽きると思います。今回私はハワイ島→マウイ島→オアフ島の3か所で複数アクティビティを体験しましたが、間違いなく1番楽しかったのがこのツアーでした。
・シュノーケルとスヌーバの両方を体験可能なプランにしました。船内には20人程度の参加者がいましたが、8割程度がこのプランでした。モロキニ島水域の透明度は素晴らしく、シュノーケリングで終わらせるのはもったいないと思います
・スヌーバは事前の説明さえちゃんと聞いていれば誰でも出来ると思います
・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです
・英語ガイドさんなので、英語がからっきしの方は難しいかも知れません
・ウェットスーツ貸し出しは10USDです。また、タートルタウンでのシュノーケリング・スヌーバは追加で50USD払う必要があります。いずれも船を降りた後に現金で支払いでした(支払う価値ありです)
Motion sickness medication and sunscreen are essential. Since there are no changing rooms or showers, it's better to consider the timing in relation to your itinerary beforehand. After wiping my entir
酔い止め、日焼け止めは必須。着替える場所やシャワーがないので、前後の行程との兼ね合いも事前に検討された方が良い。私は持参したタオルで全身を拭いた後、港のすぐ近くにある商業施設のトイレで着替えました
Really great day trip. Super convenient and comfortable ferry ride to Lanai. Our rental car canceled our Jeep at the last minute, claiming they did not have one, even though we paid in full months in advance, but a second company, “cheap jeeps “, came to our rescue, saying that they had to do the same thing for other people. Lots of fun for a day trip from Maui.
I would go with cheap jeeps rather than risk not having a jeep when you get to the island.
10/10 highly recommend this tour! Best bang for your buck. Great staff and accommodations! Loved all the food and beverages as well as getting to know the captain and his crew. The snorkel gear and wetsuits were top notch, too. We will definitely do this again next time we visit.
Be prepared for a windy harbor and bring a dry change of clothes for the ride home.
Our family had an amazing time snorkeling and whale watching. The food was also very good and everyone had plenty to eat. Our favorite part was the wonderful crew. They were funny and kind and engaging and made us all feel super comfortable, mostly our 5 and 7 year old. This boat was great for kids and had a few options for them to be able to see the underwater life. We had plenty of time to snorkel and then lots of relaxing time in the boat to see a ton of humpback whales. We are already planning our Four Winds snorkel trip next year!
We greatly appreciate your business and for sharing about your experience! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
We enjoyed our experience a ton! Perfect way to end our vacation in Maui. You guys were excellent thank you!
This was my second luau. The performances were spectacular. Unfortunately, the service was poor and the food was mediocre. For the price of our group of 10, I would not do it again.
The crew was friendly and attentive, the live music created a relaxing vibe.
The aquarium is beautifully designed and very well maintained, with exhibits that showcase Hawaii’s unique marine life! Our family had a grand day here.
Aloha and Seasons Greetings Kara,
We are happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed yourselves at Maui Ocean Center and got to see Hawaii's unique marine life up-close.
We will be opening up new exhibits and tours in the new year. Ululani Shave Ice has also recently opened at the Ocean Center.
Please come back and visit Maui and Maui Ocean Center.
This cruise offers a perfect balance of scenic views, good food, and a laid-back vibes!
From the moment we pulled into the parking lot the staff greeted us and helped direct our check in. Everything was smooth and organized. The wait staff were friendly, helpful and willing to go above and beyond to accommodate any requests.
The music, performances and cultural areas were lovely and educational.
We enjoyed the food offerings that helped teach us of the local faire.
Book in advance!
On Maui, the best time for whale watching is from December 15 to April 15, but it seems that whales start arriving around October. The two-hour cruise involves searching for whales, moving here and there. The moments when you can see them are brief, so you need to constantly scan the surface of the water.
マウイ島では12月15日〜4月15日までがホエールウオッチングに最適の期間とのことですが、10月くらいからクジラはやってくるようです。2時間のクルーズはクジラを探すためにあっちいったりこっちいったり。見える瞬間は短いので、常に海面を探す必要あり。
I recommend securing a seat with a good view when boarding. Some seats may have poor visibility.
見晴らしのよい席を乗船時に確保することをおすすめします。席によってはみにくい席もあるので。
This was our first time to Hawaii and our first time to a luau. We were so overly impressed by every aspect of this evening. Fortunately for us, the weather was perfect, but the table attendants were friendly. The food was excellent. The flow of the evening was very nice. We learned so much about the history of Hawaiians and the dancing was excellent. We would absolutely recommend old Lahaina and very much hope to go again.
Narration by Gracie-Ann was outstanding & the whales too put on quite a show !
Ride was pleasant! Saw whales and dolphins on our ferry over and back!
What an amazing experience! It was so fun trying so many different Hawaiian foods and service was excellent. We enjoyed getting to know others at our table and sharing the meal with them. We were glad we choose the table rather than the sit on the floor option. Many of the bigger guys sitting at the low tables struggled and needed to stand frequently to stretch their legs. The show was phenomenal! What a great thing to do to get a feel for Hawaiian history in dance form. So glad we did this!
The food was excellent, the staff were super friendly, and the experience itself couldn't be beat! Photos were priceless and the beauty of both snorkel spots was indescribable
We had the best time at Old Lahaina Luau. The staff made the experience fun and we had more than everything we needed! The performers were fantastic, there was so much energy. I loved that the performance included the history of hula, and I felt like I was learning while enjoying the show. Thank you for an amazing night!
We booked early, as was suggested by a friend who lives in Maui. I think that was a good idea.
Our evening on the Quicksilver was just lovely. The double‑deck catamaran felt extremely spacious and comfortable with my nerves for getting sea sick. The table‑side service made dinner feel special as well, and comforting
This was a highlight of my Maui trip. If you want an authentic, well-executed luau experience, Old Lahaina Luau is absolutely worth it, and the traditional seating in the front row makes it even more special.
The evening was just wonderful, with beautiful ocean views and cultural demonstrations around the grounds and throughout the show. The food as well was excellent, with a wide range of traditional Hawaiian dishes that were well-prepared and flavorful.
I had an incredible experience at the Old Lahaina Luau. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and truly immersed in Hawaiian culture
We loved it. The food was excellent and it was just an amazing experience all around.
Been years since we did a Luau. It was a beautiful venue at the Royal Lahaina. Unfortunately, we had small rain events going thru the area most of the day and right at the start of the Luau. The staff did a great job getting things dried down and the service was friendly and fun. Loved the food and drink choices. The performance was traditional with some amazing young kids carrying on the Hawaiian traditions. We had a fun time thanks!
I really enjoyed having a bright and energetic female guide. As we walked, she explained various things about flowers and plants, making it a fulfilling experience. It was also fun to interact and spend time with people I met for the first time in a friendly atmosphere.
明るく、元気いっぱいの女性ガイドさんが良かったです。歩きながら、花や植物のお話を色々説明して頂き、充実した内容でした。初対面の方々ともフレンドリーに行動を共に出来て楽しかったです。
You can easily reach Oahu from Japan with a direct flight. After that, I definitely recommend extending your trip to Maui. You'll experience a side of Hawaii you didn't know about. I suggest boldly we
日本からオアフ島までは直行便で、割と気軽に来れます。それから是非、マウイ島まで足をのばしてみてください。知らなかったハワイを体験できます。思い切って水着着用で参加することをお薦めします。
Family of twelve with a baby. Best experience. Waiters were always there, Joe was amazing! Highly recommend!!
This was probably the worst for quality of food and entertainment. When you pay that much for a luau you should be able to have a choice of what you get served. The potions were small of the decent food. There was way too much raw fish. The other items were cold and tasteless. The entertainment was slow and boring. It is definitely not to children. Better entertainment at the mall.
Save your money and go to a good restaurant.
Great show and dinner. Loved every minute. Worth every dollar.
No suggestions.
Captin Steve was great! His three female coworkers lacked enthusiasm for their job in a service oriented business. They served us breakfast and we finally had to ask them to take our plates and glasses after hanging on to them for about tewnty minutes on rough water. Other people's drink glasses were blowing around. Snorkeling was good. Meals were average. I guess if you want a good excursion you will have to stay in Mexico. Every excursion in Mexico that we have been on they go out of their way there to make your day special with great service and appreciation for your dollar. We never got that service or appreciation on any of our Maui excursions. Thank you Steve, you covered for your crew nicely.
Customer service and appreiation with a smile will bring recommendations and people back.
