This was a such a fun experience! First ever luau and it was a blast. Food was tasty and properly cooked. The waitstaff was friendly and entertaining. And the performers were top notch amazing. Highly recommend.
It was excellent. Guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. Saw all sorts of sea creatures, got to swim with turtles and dolphins, as well as see many whales as a bonus. Worth exery penny and then some!
We had a fantastic time. The boat is well equipped, the crew super helpful and competent and the snorkel spots are perfect. I will definitely go out with them again when I visit Maui next year.
Unfortunately, I am unable to review the tour itself. But I can speak volumes for the tour directors & office organizers. My husband & I arrived late to Maui therefore causing us to miss our tour (100% our fault). They reached out several times to try to rebook us & work w our schedule while on the island. While I completely understand the nonrefundable side to booking these tours, they did everything in their power to make it right. Will definitely book next time we are in Maui!!
Check out the new luau at Gilligan's. We were greeted with a fresh flower lei for me and a kukui nut lei for my Man. I suggest VIP seating for an unbelievable upfront experience. The wait staff was very friendly, and the food and drinks were good. The stories of the Polynesian island were beautifully displayed through hula dancing. Amazing dancers and fire knife dancers at the end.
Good memory, good service, beautiful view. All the crews look very friendly and work hard. The chef is happy to cook for all of us. The dinner food taste ok. If the team can get better quality food material, I believe they will make a better tasted dinner. They have potential ability on this.
Entertaining evening, great to see some local culture . Good service. Tasty buffet style meal but the vegetarian option was basically Mac & cheese whereas there was chicken pork & fish for the meat eaters, so not great value/choice for vegetarians
My husband and I try to do food tours whenever we are on vacation as it is a fun way to see new things and eat local favorites. The Delicious Mystery Tour is by far the most interactive and fun food tour we have ever done! Challenging? Yes! Fun? Yes! A pen and paper are a must have on this tour so be sure not to forget to bring one along. The food was great and honestly even though our tour started at 12 and ended around 2 our dinner that night just ended up being a snack and not util 8:30 because we were stuffed! If you want a fun day do yourself a favor and book this tour! I plan on telling everyone i know who is going to Maui about this tour so if you have a chance do this!!! Most fun food tour ever!
Shot out to the crew of this ship - we had our days mixed and showed up a day early but they let us rebook for that night anyway - and we were able to get the same meal. For that they extra points.
That said - there wasn't much dancing or room for dancing as the deck was packed full of tables for dinner. Which makes sense but as it's called a Dinner and Dance cruise - you'd think there would be more accommodations for the later part of the experience.
The live performer was pretty good though and the staff was kind and patient. We had the steak dinner and it was lacking in flavor. Could have used some steak sauce or something. Also the only desert was cheesecake and since I have a dairy allergy I couldn't enjoy it. But I'm sure it was great.
Overall - it was a nice time but not great. I expected a bit more of a party. But if you want a calmer experience - this is a good one.
