Maui
There were only Japanese people, and when I had breakfast with them, a white person made a really unpleasant face at me (maybe they didn't want to eat with me), which made me feel very uncomfortable. I wonder if I should have skipped breakfast... I don't want to participate anymore.
日本人が私たちしかおらず、一緒に朝食を取ったとき白人の人にすごく嫌な顔をされてしまい(一緒にたべたくなかったのか)とっても嫌な気分でした。朝食はいらなかったかな・・・。もう参加したくないです。
Well organised trip to Haleakala. Good drivers with their commentary. Would have liked a little more information about the volcano and the island, nothing that Google can't answer though, so that's alright. The dinner was ok.
This was a tour I was looking forward to on my first trip to Maui with my eldest son. It was a morning tour, and we were able to see a mother and baby whale at quite a close distance, which got us both very excited. I thought it would have been helpful to have an explanation about the parking, but I would like to participate again when I visit Maui next time.
今回、長男と2人で初めてのマウイ島旅行で楽しみにしていたツアーでした。朝からのツアーでしたが結構近い距離でクジラの親子を見ることができ、親子で大興奮でした。駐車場の説明があると助かったなぁと思いましたが、またマウイ島に行った時には参加したいと思います。
We participated as a couple. There were about 20 people, and everyone else was a foreigner. The guide was English-speaking and provided a fun and polite tour with humor. Our listening skills were low, and there were many things we couldn't understand, but it wasn't a big problem. The sunrise was beautiful, and we were moved by it.
夫婦で参加しました。20人ほどで他は全員外国人でした。ガイドさんは英語で、ユーモアを交えて楽しく丁寧にガイドしてくれていました。こちらのリスニング力が低く、理解できないことも多かったですが、大きな問題はありませんでした。サンライズは綺麗に拝めて感動しました。
Amazing experience ! Food was great, the host was funny and the whole thing was just so much fun !
This was a very nice and romantic evening. We loved the food and atmosphere. It was a tad bit windy for flowey dresses, but several areas to get out of the wind if necessary.
We had such a wonderful time snorkeling something I've never done before the staff was great and put you at ease about going out into the water. They were out there watching you making sure you'll ok. seeing the turtle was awesome. The lunch was good. Would definitely recommend this not to mention the beautiful scenery you will see. The staff is knowledgeable about the islands. Loved it!! Definitely do this!!
This was the 2nd time I seen this Luau, and I must say that it was just as beautiful as the first time. I highly recommend this luau to anyone even if you have seen others. I was able to get there early enough to see the pig get unveiled and walk around the amazing area. Every person there from serving food/drinks to greeters are extremely polite and always smiling. This was a perfect night!
We didn't get to see the sunrise due to the weather, but our bus driver was informative and kept us warm with hot coffee, hot chocolate or hot tea. It was still worth going! The breakfast was fantastic!
I participated in November 2015. Although the weather was good, at the moment of sunrise, clouds covered the sun, so I couldn't see the best view. However, the scenery from the summit was very magical and made for a great memory. Since you wait outside for over an hour for the sunrise, you need winter clothing similar to what you would wear in Japan's mid-winter.
2015年11月に参加、天気は良かったものの、日の出の瞬間、太陽に雲がかかっており最高の景色は見れませんでしたが、山頂からの眺めは非常に幻想的でよい記念になりました。外で1時間以上日の出を待ちますので、日本の真冬と同じ防寒グッズが必要です。
This was the best Laua I have been to in 50 years. The setting was very romantic, the people were attentive, the drinks were freshly made and the food was terrific! We had plenty of room at our table to eat and watch the amazing show. The food was prepared in the traditional Hawaiin style and tasted delicious. The pre-show was fun and educational. I'll be back!
We had a fantastic time! The captain and crew were so nice. The kids had a blast. I would definitely recommend the snorkel trip to Lanai!!!
This was so fun. Everyone in my family had a blast. The captain and crew were so friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding. The snorkeling was great, we saw lots of fish and the reef was beautiful. We hung out with a huge pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins and got some great pictures. The kids (and their dad) thought the water slide was awesome. All around best snorkel trip!!! I'd highly recommend. Thank you!
Mahalo for the kind review, we are so happy you had a great time.
A Hui Hou (Until we meet again)
Outstanding cruise and the people were great. Well worth doing.
Despite getting up a dark o'clock, this trip is worth doing. The sunrise is spectacular and the pictures you get are just wonderful. The guide was excellent and cheerful from the start at 2 am! Breakfast is good too and you are awake for it. Recommend you do this one when you visit Maui.
Totally recommend. The crew were excellent, as was the catamaran. Views spectacular and highlight of the trip was being visited by the spinner dolphins - I have never seen so many. Well worth doing if you visit Maui.
The staff was so wonderful. Very friendly and tentative!
The evening was very enjoyable for me. The food was interesting as well as the deserts. The ambience was beautiful. The show was very well put together.
Great cruise. Food was fantastic.. Sunset unreal.. Staff was friendly and enthusiastic.
Will do this again next trip.
First time at a Luau and it was very well run. Wish we could do this again! Recommend Old Lahaina Luau. Very nice time!
Overall, well organized and professional. Nellie our guide was amazing and took great photos for all of us. Highly recommended.
Perhaps the best excursion I've been to in Maui or any other destination. The staff was incredible, all friendly and fun!
good food (though I dont advise eating a lot since I had quite some acid reflux snorkeling on a full stomach), good directions on how to use snorkel gears. saw dolphins, they are right below our deck. saw a bunch of turtles and a white tip shark and octopus (the latter two I have to acknowledge the other cruising company's guide, he does these deep dives to compel the shark to come out from hiding and he somehow found this octopus for everybody to see!)
When I went to Maui, I definitely wanted to see the sunrise at Haleakalā, so I joined this tour! And I got to see the most amazing sunrise!! The tour was a simple one with transportation and breakfast included, but I enjoyed it enough. Just be aware that it doesn't include any warm clothing, so please prepare that yourself. Also, everyone except us was foreign.
マウイ島に行ったら、絶対にハレアカラの朝日を観たいと思ってこのツアーに参加しました!
そして、最高の朝日が拝めました!!
ツアーとしては、送迎と朝ご飯付きの簡単なツアーでしたが充分楽しめました。防寒具とかも何もついてないので
ご自身で用意して下さい。あと私達以外は全員、外人でした
No one likes being pick up at 3am for a tour, but Rory made it worth it! He was pleasant, cracking jokes, and really knew the history of Maui and Mt. Haleakala. I would highly suggest this tour to couples. Bring warm clothes, not just a sweatshirt!
No complaints here! Bar tenders will make your drinks stronger if you ask :) No shortage of delicious food and knowledgeable info from the crew. They even had the cutest dog on board!
Rough ride to Lanai island but over all is a great experience, we'll do it again.
My kids love this activity we have in Maui. Their instructor are great too. They were able to enjoy and stand on the board and surf with the waves. They said its one of a kind things to do and experience. They will surf again and this time with pride. Awesome.
Wonderful way to spend a few hours; the displays & sea life are awesome, the grounds beautifully maintained. Perfect for families; the young and the older will be delighted.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. Maui Ocean Center would like to say "Mahalo" for visiting us during your Maui vacation.
Great experience loved every minute of it. Staff was great, the food was amazing and who can resist an open bar.
