I had an absolutely wonderful visit at the aquarium! It is beautiful, well kept up, and affordable for all! My only problem was with the parking, to me it was confusing! I would definitely go back, beautiful!

Cool fish and corals

Reviewed by: madcll

Really enjoyed the fish and the fish tunnel, corals were awesome. Learning new things about fish I thought I knew about was amazing. The little alcoves you turned into was interesting.

Gilligans' Island Luau - Fireknife Dance, Dinner & Show at Maui Nui Golf Club

Typical/Tradition luau

Reviewed by: Cheeky Family

This is a great family Luau, it was your ideal and Typical Luau. Food was buffet style and ready to go with pork, fish, and chicken options. The show completed the different dances of the different Polynesian islands and culture that you would expect and was colorfully narrated. The staff were very friendly and quick to serve. Price is very economical and affordable that was all inclusive with food and drinks. I recommend this packet for families who want to get a Luau in at a budget price.

Gilligans' Island Luau - Fireknife Dance, Dinner & Show at Maui Nui Golf Club

Poor performance

Reviewed by: Bc

I'm not going complain about the food, it's good but they need to improved their seating and luau stage, you have to be vip to be able to see the performance. All you see it's people's head if you are seated in the middle or back seat. The dancers don't give a chance to take a nice picture. Not recommend unless you pay vip

Reply from activity provider

Happy you enjoyed the food. Sorry to hear you didn't have a great view from your seat. I wish you had said something to a manager so we could have tried to accommodate. We will soon be moving to an elevated stage but have to wait for approval from the county liquor department. Until then we have added elevated seating in the back to help guests be able to see better that are seated in the farthest rows. We also try to put groups with children close to the front so the children can see since they are shorter. We hope you were still able to enjoy the music and show and hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Reviewed by: PatO

Beautiful setting for a Maui experience! A chance to see all of those native Hawaiian creatures you might have not seen on a snorkeling adventure. Nicely positioned in the Maalaea Harbor which includes shopping and dining experiences and is the departure point of many of Maui's tours.

Gilligans' Island Luau - Fireknife Dance, Dinner & Show at Maui Nui Golf Club

LUAU “HIDDEN GEM”

Reviewed by: Judy S.

My hubby and I wanted a more intimate luau experience…something more like a real family luau! We found it! Although there was no emu ceremony, we were immediately seated and our drink orders taken. Then we were invited to a lovely buffet without having to wait…delicious mahi, chicken and the most delicious pork I have ever had at ANY luau! Decadent desserts too - yum! After dinner, we experienced a one hour Hawaiian luau show. The dancers were extremely skilled and their performances very entertaining. The fire knife dancer was excellent and never dropped a fire stick. Music, songs, dancing and continued drink service during a lovely sunset and a twinkle-lit venue.

We loved the experience and enjoyed it immensely….fabulous food, positive personalities, delightful dancers, melodious music - the perfect evening at a more affordable price! We’ll be back with more family!

Experience Hawaiian Culture & Food

Reviewed by: Keli L.

This was so fun for our group of 18 people! The buffet was great with tons of options that everyone liked. There was a great dessert spread too. Our waiter was awesome and on top of bringing us all-you-can-drink beverages. The entertainment was so fun, with a mix of Hawaiian history between acts. A must-do if you've never been to a luau!

Kaanapali Deluxe Snorkeling Cruise with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy

Awesome experience on the Trilogy

Reviewed by: Sheri Shepard

I was in Maui this time for two weeks, which I think is the perfect amount of time to be able to see and do everything you’d like and kick back a little. Our trip on the Trilogy was so much fun and we saw 2 whales and got a wonderful picture of a whale slap with his tail.. The crew and the captain were all very friendly and approachable. I would say to others thinking about taking this trip brink what you think you’ll need if it’s still April or before if it departs in the morning take a sweat shirt!! But definitely do this tour it’s something you’ll never forget!!

  • Blow the picture up you’ll see the whale

  • Tail wave by the whale so awesome

Great last day visit option at Maui Ocean Cemter

Reviewed by: Alan from Colorado

We had a late flight our last day in Maui so we wanted something fun and easy to do after we checked out of our condo. The MauI Ocean Center was a really fun time and educational to boot. There is a mix of outdoor and indoor spaces, an interactive show on feeding the sharks and rays, and plenty of exhibits that allow you up close views of the fish and turtles we saw while snorkeling.

The 3d video on whales was well done and the crowds were light enough to allow us good access to all the different viewing areas.

Got to hit a lot of the spots we wanted to see, including the bamboo forest, swimming in waterfalls, tidal pools, lunch and banana bread from Aunty Sandy's.

Hana Road

Reviewed by: Amy3900

We had an amazing personalized tour of Maui driving through the Hana Road. Gus and AnnaLisa both provided a fantastic narrative of the beautiful island of Maui from the lush rain forest to the beach and circled entire island. Stopped at wonderful places for local banana bread to ice cream and BBQ lunch as well as local island coffee. Enjoyed hearing about Maui’s culture, history, plants and flowers. Not to mention the breathe tasting scenery with personalized photos. Very social distance friendly and felt completely safe throughout the tour. Highly recommended.

Great trip!

Reviewed by: Clint

Very unique experience not to be missed while traveling to Maui. Completely different from anything else on the island and I highly recommend it. Having a driver was great just so we can spend more time looking around and he knew several of the places to stop that we otherwise would have had no idea about. Also places do not stop, they were covered in tourist and other things. Our driver and the service did a great job.

Reviewed by: Jake

This tour was so fun. We had a really nice driver that talked about the culture and history of Maui, and she even asked my wife and I questions about ourselves. She knew all the best places to stop & take pictures, eat banana bread, and what literally every plant was. She was truly and expert guide. At one point, she stopped at a waterfall for us to look at, and she said we could jump off of it and she'd take a video of us. And we did!! It was SO fun. Wow. I would do this again. Anyone who goes might want to bring a change of clothes/a towel in case you want to go for a swim!

カアナパリ沖 セーリング&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事・アルコール2杯付き>

大満足でした

Reviewed by: tky

とても満足のアクティビティでした。
【体験内容】
スポット2箇所でたっぷりの時間で魚や亀を見ることができました。
行きの船ではイルカの群れに出会い、スピンも見れました。
スポット各々で、たくさんの魚を見れ、亀も6匹、タコも見ることができました。
一方、7月頭の参加でしたが、少し水が冷たい箇所もありました。数日後に台風が迫っていたことが理由かもしれません。
帰りはセーリングで帰りながらボリューミーな鶏肉のバーベキューを食べるのも良い体験でした。
【その他】
日本人は我々夫婦のみでしたが、スタッフは皆海の男&女で爽やかに明るい方々で、気さくに接ししていただきました。
我々の他はご家族やカップルが中心でした。
説明など英語はかなりスピーディに話されるので、得意でないわたしには正直聞き取るのは無理でしたが、基本周りの真似をしていれば大丈夫かと思います(笑)
前日リコンファームで電話ということでしたが、完全に忘れており当日心配しておりましたが、大丈夫でした。
また、チップは、下船時にお一人に20ドルをお渡ししました(周囲の方も同様な形でした)

総じて大満足のアクティビティでした。

I had the best time ever with my tour guide Sammy. She was so much fun to be with. I felt like I was out with a friend for the day. She was more than happy to share her knowledge and appreciation of Hawaiian culture, heritage and history.

I learned so much that day. She made Maui come alive for me, the flora and the fauna and some stories that have been passed down through the ages.
