We really enjoyed the Maui Prince Luau. This was one of the highlights of our trip. The buffet was excellent, and offered lots of choices, including a nice selection of desserts. The entertainment was exceptional. From the host, to the dancers, to the band, it was all very good, and we'd definitely recomment it to others. We paid extra for premium seating, and it was definitley worth the extra money to be up front.

I went during the New Year. Despite that, we were the only two Japanese people there. There were no staff who spoke Japanese, but one staff member, who was married to a Japanese person, cheerfully talked to us, and the other staff members were very attentive since we were the only Japanese guests.
It was whale watching season, so during the cruise, the staff would spot whales and let us know. On the way to Lanai Island, they gathered the participants once to give an overview, during which they mentioned that there were still seven spots available for dolphin watching. Since it was in English, I wasn't very confident in my listening skills, and while I hesitated, the spots filled up. Later, when I asked someone who participated, they said it was very cute, and I regretted not signing up.
After returning to Japan and reviewing this page again, it seems that the upgrade "Blue Water Adventure Rafting" was what they were referring to.
On Lanai Island, all the kids were enjoying snorkeling. We found it a bit cold, so we didn't go into the water, but we enjoyed relaxing in the shade and exploring the rocky areas to find small fish.
The food was also very delicious, and they served yakisoba! I think it's a tour where you can experience a variety of things all at once.
お正月に行きました。にも関わらず、日本人は私たち2人だけでした。日本語を話すスタッフはいませんでしたが、奥さんが日本人だというスタッフが一人いて陽気に話しかけてくれたり、他のスタッフも日本人が私たちだけということもあってとても気にかけてくださいました。
ホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので、クルーズの途中にスタッフがクジラを見つけては教えてくれました。
ラナイ島へ向かう途中に、一度参加者を集めてひととおり説明をしてくれたのですが、その中でドルフィンウォッチングの席がまだ7人分空いているといったようなことを言っていました。英語だったのであまり聞き取りに自信がなくて尻込みしているうちに定員オーバーになってしまいました。あとで参加した人に聞いたら、とても可愛かったそうで、思い切って申し込めばよかったと後悔しました。
日本に帰ってきてこのページを再度見直したら、アップグレードの「ブルー・ウォーター・アドベンチャー・ラフティング」というのがそれだったようです。
ラナイ島では子供たちはみんなシュノーケルをして楽しんでいました。私たちはちょっと寒かったので海には入りませんでしたが、木陰でのんびりしたり、岩場を散策して小さな魚を見つけたりして楽しみました。
食事もとてもおいしくて、やきそばも出ました!
一度にいろんなことが体験できるツアーだと思います。

Our guide Kaileo was a true local who whole-heartedly enjoyed sharing his ocean with us. He was extremely knowledgable and went beyond what other 'mass market' tour companies offer. He lead out our small group and took the time to educate us about the reefs and ocean bottom, showing us turtles, octopus, starfish, eels and countless fish. (allowing us to even hold the octopus and starfish if we so desired!) I'd certainly go back again when in Maui and would reccomend this trip to anyone who is comfortable with the open ocean. Mahalo!

For my mother's 50th birthday, my husband and I sent our family to Maui. My parents had never been to Hawaii so we wanted them to experience the "Hawaiian style". Their time started with a lei at the airport (which I feel everyone has to do at least once in their life). Sure this may be cliche but my parents enjoyed the special attention. This is a great company to go with because of their prices and attire. Thank you for helping make my mother and father's vacaction in Hawaii wonderful.

The ferry to Lanai was great. The trip over in the morning was relatively smooth. Coming home, however, at 4:30 p.m., was a wild ride! Very choppy, huge swells, but actually a lot of fun! That is if you weren't sitting on the side of the boat that got drenched with each swell...A group of people sitting next to us said that you could have charged extra for the roller coaster ride! haha As we pulled into the harbor at Lahaina we were blessed with a gorgeous double rainbow!

On October 26, my wife and I participated together. After deciding to go to Maui, snorkeling at Molokini was the first thing we planned, and our expectations were quite high. However, the clarity of the water did not disappoint, and both my wife and I were very satisfied. There seemed to be slightly fewer fish, but that might depend on the season. We also added a snorkeling experience with snuba for an extra fee, which I highly recommend. We were allowed to do it for quite a long time, and we could even take photos and videos with our own underwater camera. Both my wife and I had experience with introductory diving, but the Japanese instructor provided detailed guidance, so even beginners should have no problem. It was so much fun that I became even more eager to obtain a diving license. Moving from Molokini to observe honu (turtles) while snorkeling was truly moving for me as a turtle lover. Since we could return to the hotel by early afternoon, I think it will be a fulfilling day with plenty of time left in the afternoon!
10月26日に嫁と二人で参加しました。マウイ島に行くと決めてから、モロキニ島シュノーケリングはまず最初に決めていたし、かなり期待値は高かったのですが、期待を裏切らない透明度で私も嫁も大満足でした。魚が若干少ない気もしましたが季節にもよるのかもしれません。それからスヌーバを追加料金で体験したのですが、これはぜひお勧めです。結構長い時間やらせてもらえたし、自分で持ち込んだ水中カメラやビデオでを撮影してもらえたりしました。私も嫁も体験ダイビングの経験があったのですが日本人のインストラクターが細かく教えてくれるので初心者の方でも問題ありません。とても楽しくて、ダイビングのライセンスを益々取得したくなりました。モロキニから移動してのホヌ(カメ)観察シュノーケリングもホヌ好きの私としては何とも感動的でした。昼過ぎにはホテルに戻れるので、午後もたっぷり使えて充実した一日になると思いますよ!

I flew directly into Maui but wanted to see Pearl Harbor. This tour was the perfect opportunity! They arranged the flight to O'ahu and a nice, small bus with large windows to transport the group through the day and deliver us back to the airport on time. Our guide was excellent and entertaining! Be prepared for a long, full day but return with a complete experience of Pearl Harbor and a narrated bus ride through many sight of Honolulu. Lunch on Wikiki was a riot! The tour was interesting and well organized but allowed me the opportunity for some individual exploration and relaxation.

The staff on this boat is amazing! They provide a great breakfast with bagels, fruit, etc. They also have a BBQ lunch whereas most other boats only provide deli sandwiches. Unlimited drinks too. We only had about 80 people on our boat so it was really roomy (usual capacity is 120 or so). They also provide high quality underwater cameras (for a fee) and they document the trip in a video and photo CD which you can also buy. Definitely try snuba if your budget allows! The instructor is terrific! 5 stars all the way! Absolutely no complaints!

Good food, unlimited drinks, great entertainment (variety of dances both males and females), great host and service. The only complaint I have is that the seating was horrible. The seats were literally right up against each other so you don't have much arm or leg room. It was hard to get in and out of your seat because they were so close together. Overall wonderful experience! They even ask you if you want shaded or sun seating.

This was our first time trying Snuba and I don't know where to begin. Hawaii activities was great about following up with us to remind us of our event. The crew for our event was exceptional!!! We had snorkeled the day before with another charter that was good but hands down the crew on this boat was the best. As we boarded the boat they took our pictures and they had a separate film guy that took footage while we were on the boat and under the water in both places we dived. If you're not sure about scuba diving then try snuba first. It allows you the freedom of being under the water without wearing tanks. Good indicator if you're going to like scuba.
