We have been to 6-8 different Luaus in Maui, and this one is one of the top two we have seen. Food was excellent, better than all except Marriott's. Service was better than all. The server in our section even went to get our mix drinks (both virgin and regular). Show was great telling the story of the Hawaii Islands, not just a mix of various dance styles. The tables are stair step so even the back tables have a good view of the stage without having to look around other heads.

The cruise was nice, but the seating was so close you could barely get in and out of your chair. Choice of drinks was very limited. We were seated in close quarters with a couple we didn't know. Luckily for us they were very nice and we got a long well. I could imagine it being
A very long three hours otherwise.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this zipline tour. The 8-lines were so much fun, and the view was great. The tour was that much more fun because of our wonderful guides, Adam and Jordan. Both were very knowledgeable and so much fun. I highly recommend this zipline tour to anyone and everyone!!

The boat was an ordinary one. There was also a catamaran, but it seemed to be from a different company. The price was about $10 cheaper if purchased on-site. It was available even on the day of. In conclusion, it's better to go to the port on the day and buy the tickets.
船は普通の船でした。双胴船もありましたが、ちがう会社のようでした。

I can't swim and was going for my wife. Thank god I went through with it. Off the back the tour was very well organized. 4 crew members including the captain and everyone knew their jobs well and communicated well with us. Very helpful. Very nice breakfast and catamaran sail to lanai island to start with. We saw whales while going to lanai! near lanai we saw a big pod of dolphins. Both times the captain was knowledgeable about steering the boat and showing us the best views. The Dolphins came very close to our boat too! (See attached picture)when we got to the snorkel site- the crew was very empathetic to my lack of swimming skills. They helped me very gently through the entire thing and encouraged me to go into the waters with floats etc. and I'm so glad they did. We snorkeled for an hour at lanai and I had so much fun. After that we sailed back to Lahaina beach while the crew made burgers and we snorkeled at the Lahaina harbor and then ate food. All in all 5 stars to the crew for being on top of everything and at the same time being jovial about it. Definitely recommend taking this day excursion for the views of Maui island and great snorkeling sites. I saw turtles at both sites- and I don't even know how to swim!!

We were hopeful to see whales but knew we were in late so expectations were hopeful at best. However, once we got to the area there were 3 whales (mom, baby & male hopeful) and what a great show they gave. Tons of pictures and memories.

This was my fifth whale watching experience, but it was the first time I saw a jump.
In fact, I think it jumped about five or six times. It was incredibly impressive.
In the second half, we got really close to a parent and child with their kids, making it a fulfilling whale watching experience.
The Japanese staff were also kind, and they provided information about the announcements on board and the whales.
今回で5回目のホエールウォッチングでしたがジャンプを見たのは初でした。
しかも5、6回はジャンプしたでしょうか

後半には子連れの親子と大接近もあり充実したホエールウォッチングとなりました。

I was worried about seasickness, but I thought whale watching in Maui during winter was a must, so I participated. It seems to depend on the weather, but that day we were able to see whales breaching up close right away, and I quickly forgot my worries. They jumped several times in different places, so I was busy watching them. Since we had a Japanese guide during our time slot, we received detailed explanations about the whales' behavior and how to observe them, which made it even more interesting. I was more satisfied than I expected, and it truly became a wonderful memory.
船酔いが心配でしたが、冬場のマウイでホエールウォッチングははずせないと思い参加しました。
お天気に左右されるそうですが、その日はすぐに鯨のブリッジが間近に見ることができ、不安要素はすぐに忘れてしまうぐらいでした。
あちらこちらで何度もジャンプしてくれるので、見るのに忙しいぐらいでした。
私たちの時間帯は日本人ガイドさんがついて下さったので、鯨の生態や見方など詳しく説明してもらえ、さらに興味深く見ることができました。
期待以上に満足で、本当に楽しい思い出になりました。

Old Lahaina Luau is top notch, the venue itself is beautiful...you are right on the water, therefore the sunset was beautiful. The tables are set up so that everyone is able to see the show. The food was really good and the drinks were great. They have a full open bar included in your ticket price. The wait staff was excellent. We loved the show it was beautiful and of course gave you a look into the history and culture. It was a magical evening and worth the cost. Even, if you have be n to other luaus this one is the best we have ever seen. Highly recommend.

I participated in the morning cruise (around 9 AM). I had signed up for a Japanese tour, but unfortunately, it turned out to be an English tour. It seems there were many explanations about whales, but since I'm not fluent in English, I only managed to listen to "in the direction of ○ o'clock" f(^^;
February is the peak season, and as the local guide mentioned, "there are a lot of them," we could see spouts in various places. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any breaches like in the images, but we did catch glimpses of whales waving goodbye with their fins and their tails several times. Perhaps because it was a relatively large boat for whale watching, it seemed like we kept a certain distance from the whales and didn't get too close. This might be due to regulations regarding whales or safety considerations. I had hoped to see them a bit closer, but I guess it depends on luck. (Or maybe I should choose a tour with a smaller boat...?)
Fortunately, it was a calm day, and since I had taken motion sickness medication, I hardly noticed the rocking of the boat.
朝のクルーズ(9時台)に参加しました。
日本語ツアーを申し込んだのですが、残念ながら英語ツアーになりました。
鯨についての説明が沢山流れていたようですが、英語は堪能ではないので「○時の方向」というのだけ頑張って聴いていました f(^^;
2月はシーズンのピークで、ツアーの現地ガイドの方が「うじゃうじゃいます」とおっしゃっていた通り、あちこちで潮吹きしています。
画像にあるようなブリーチは残念ながらみることはできませんでしたが、遠目ながら鰭でのバイバイや、尾びれは何度かみることができました。
ホエールウォッチングツアーの中では比較的大きめのボートのせいか、あまり鯨に近寄らず、ある程度の距離を置くようにしていたように思えます。
鯨に対する規定や、安全に考慮しているのかもしれません。
もう少し間近に見ることができるのかと思っていましたが、そのあたりは運もあるのでしょうね。
(もしくはより小型の船のツアーを選ぶようにするか・・・?)
幸いなことに波が穏やかな日で酔い止め薬を飲んでいたこともあり、船の揺れはほとんど気になりませんでした。

It was the perfect ending to our last night on Maui! The check-in time changed after we made our reservation, and the voucher stated a 6 PM check-in. However, we were able to sit down and start drinking at 6 PM, and the buffet began about 30 minutes after check-in, with the show starting even later.
Since alcohol is all-you-can-drink, they asked for a passport (or any ID that shows your age). A copy is fine, but a Japanese driver's license was not accepted. It was okay in Oahu, but here they were strict about alcohol, so my companion had to go back to the hotel to get it.
Before the show started, there was a ceremony where they presented a pig roasted in an imu. I felt really sorry seeing the pig's face looking right at us, but I enjoyed the kalua pig from the buffet with gratitude.
The show featured a variety of performances including hula, Tahitian, Samoan, Maori, and fire dancing. There was even a segment where we could participate on stage, so I joined in and danced. Since there were hardly any Japanese people in Maui, I felt it was easier to get into the spirit and enjoy myself even more!
マウイ島滞在最後の夜の締めくくりに最高の宴でした!
チェックイン時間は申し込んだあと変更になり、バウチャーには18時チェックインと記載されていましたが、18時から席についてドリンクを飲み始められるようになっており、ブュッフェが始まるのはチェックインから30分後くらい、ショー自体のスタートはさらにそのあとになります。
アルコール類も飲み放題なので、パスポート(年齢のわかるID)の提示を求められます。コピーでも大丈夫ですが、日本の運転免許証はダメでした。オアフでは免許証でも大丈夫なのですが…。アルコールについては厳しいので絶対NGだったため、同行者はホテルに取りに戻っていました。
ショーが始まる前にイムから焼いた豚を出す儀式がありました。眠りについて出てきたブーちゃんの顔がちょうどこちらを向いていて、気の毒でとてもいたたまれない気持ちになりましたが、ブュッフェのカルアピッグは感謝しながらおいしくいただきました。
ショーはフラ、タヒチアン、サモア、マオリ、ファイヤーダンスなど盛りだくさんで、途中ステージに参加できるコーナーがあったので一緒に踊ってきました。
マウイは日本人がほとんどいなかったのでいろいろノリやすくてより楽しめた気がします♪

This was my first time participating. It was a Japanese tour, but the explanations were thorough and easy to understand.
I heard that 70% of the whales from Alaska come to Hawaii, and 90% of those come to Maui.
Since they are living creatures, the chances of encountering them are quite unpredictable, but I think we saw quite a few. When I went on another snorkeling tour, I also saw many whales, so I believe that riding on the boat more than twice increases satisfaction.
I heard that the peak is in February.
初めて参加しました。日本語ツアーでしたが、説明が丁寧で分かりやすかった。
アラスカから7割のクジラがハワイにやってきて、そのうちの9割がマウイに来るそうです。
生き物なので出会える確率はなかなか読めないのですが、結構見られたと思います。
別のシュノーケリングツアーに出かけたときもたくさんクジラが見られたので、2回以上船に乗ると満足度が高いと思います。
ピークは2月だそうです。
