What people are saying about Hawaii

The food was good and the show was great. This is under a covered pavillon, which is perfect since Kauai gets a fair amount of rain during the winter months. Open bar is an added plus. Book early if possible. We booked the day before and was seated about as far away as we could get and still be in the same building.....that was the only disappointment. Our fault for not planning aheald!

This is my FAVORITE Whale watch tour…. I have been on Maui my whole life and usually go whale watching 6-15 times a year. I have tried all the different boats, and SeaMaui is my favorite Their boat is beautiful and comfortable The bean bags are a fun touch The open bar The service The crew Is perfect
