Barbie is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guide. She also makes sure you feel comfortable and prepared in the water. The scooters are easy to use, and I highly recommend paying a bit extra for the floatation wet suits (for ease and extra warmth in the water) and the go pro for must have videos!
We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling with Barbie! We saw numerous fish, bright coral, turtles and a monk seal! It was a memory to last a lifetime. If you are inexperienced, do not hesitate to take this tour!

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Maui Nui Sunset Luau at the stunning Sheraton Maui, and it truly exceeded all expectations! As we arrived, we were warmly greeted with traditional lei necklaces, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. The venue has great ocean views, it's spacious and all guests had ample room to enjoy the experience comfortably.
The food was a standout at the event, with a delicious spread of local-style dishes in the buffet. The menu had something for everyone and made a lasting impression with its flavors and presentation.
The entertainment was simply amazing, as talented dancers wowed the audience with their graceful moves and colorful outfits. The best part of the night was definitely the fire knife dance, an absolutely stunning performance that had everyone totally amazed. The combination of cultural storytelling and dynamic performances created a lively and engaging atmosphere throughout the luau.
Overall, the Maui Nui Sunset Luau at Sheraton Maui was a fantastic experience that combined great food, entertaining performances, and a stunning atmosphere seamlessly. I totally suggest checking out this luau if you want to dive into Hawaii's awesome culture and hospitality. It's a night of pure fun and entertainment!

I surprised my dad with the luau for his 60th birthday and we had a wonderful experience! Everyone was so welcoming and the atmosphere was beautiful. Our server Gerry was amazing and Jonah was very kind as well. The food was very filling and the perfect amount. The dances themselves were so beautiful, I could see how much the dancers put their hearts into the performances. I would go back to Maui just to bring more loved ones to the Old Lahaina Luau!

Amazing and knowledgeable guide who was pleasant and accommodating. Our guide actually extended our tour and took us to the cat sanctuary and made sure that we all had a great time. I fully enjoyed and recommend this tour. Lanai is very beautiful and I could not imagine seeing it with anyone other than our guide.

I was disappointed because there were fewer fish than I had expected. On the day of my visit, there were no Japanese staff present, but the staff were friendly, which was nice.

The sunrise at Haleakalā was a wonderful experience. The hour and a half leading up to the sunrise is extremely cold, but in exchange, you can enjoy the stars as if they are falling. What helped against the cold was my ski gloves. Even so, my fingertips were freezing. I definitely want to visit this place again.
ハレアカラのサンライズ、すばらしい体験でした。
日の出までの1時間半の間は、それはそれは寒いですが、代わりに降ってくるかのような星々も堪能できます。寒さ対策でよかったのは、スキー用のグローブ。それでも指先が凍えるくらいでしたが。
またぜひ、訪れたい場所です。

The trip was excellent. Parking at the Maalea harbor dock is a pain. In the future tell your clients to get the ParkWhiz app on their phone You can pay for close up parking on this app. The code reader at the dock is crappy. Our Lanai on site guide, Russ was a wealth of information and had as much fun with us and the other couple as we did with him and the tour. A nice day was had by all.

Me and my friend had a wonderful experience at Old Lahaina.
I appreciate the history behind the island and sharing of the Hawaiian culture.
I would advise to call a day or two before the show if you did not receive your confirmation. I was happy that I called earlier. The representative wasn't able to get me the traditional seating (what i ordered) however there was space available for the table and chair.
The waiters were very accommodating because for some reason when I made the change from traditional seating to table and chair my food option did not transition over (i dont not eat pork or beef) however they were ae to provide me with fish and chicken.
Thank you so much for being flexible.
Lastly, my friend and I arrived an hour early. Do what you will but when they say the door open at a certain time be prepared to wait until that exact time

We had an amazing experience on the sunset raft whale watching excursion. Our guides, Luke and Nick, were superb and told us so many facts about the whales. They were attentive to both my teenagers and my 9 year old, providing them with snacks and drinks and making sure that they had a great experience. We saw whales breaching and babies swimming close to the raft. It was the highlight of our trip.

Loved the tour, it’s well timed as it felt I had enough time in water at both Molokini and turtle town. The crew is very good and they really make sure you are well taken care of.
This is also an excellent opportunity for whale spotting, I did a whale spotting tour as well and this one was better.
The slide is awesome and everything is very family friendly.

This company won’t stop pestering me to leave a review so here goes:
I’ve done a lot of whale watching tours on Maui. I only chose this one because the company we typically use cannot run tours on weekends/holidays anymore (change to use abilities at the Mala boat ramp). This was the only other small group tour I could find.
Pros:
- Small group so you aren’t fighting for space/visibility
- Able to use a GoPro in the water off the side of the boat
- $10 credit per person at the General Store (which wasn’t advertised in activity description)
Cons:
- Whale watching is better from Lahaina and not as good from Ma’alaea
- Boat doesn’t go very fast so you don’t get the opportunity to get as much action
- Staff were less experienced and didn’t have a lot of knowledge about the whales/whale behavior
- Much more expensive than other tours

Aloha Christine and Jason and Warmest Mahalo for your Amazing 5 Star review, Congratulation to you both on your Anniversary and support Lahaina. Video taping the Monk Seal at Kapalua Bay was the first time in my 40 years of snorkeling. It felt like this beautiful Monk Seal loved having his video taken the way it stayed around and taking it time swimming from coral to coral and even coming to the surfaces. It seem to be very curious and the sound of the sea scooter didn't even make it leave. Even filming the sea turtles and sea life doesn't and hasn't make any difference in the ocean. Thanks to you both we all got to experience a very unique adventures. Truly appreciate you taking the time to write this review for us.
