Best Dining Experiences in Maui: 3 Worth Booking

1.Myths of Maui Luau Dinner and Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,144 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours (approx.) · from $211Our pick

Spend about three hours at an oceanfront Maui luau with a shell lei greeting, buffet dinner, open beer, wine, cocktails, and nonalcoholic drinks. The stage show moves through Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, and New Zealand dances, ending with a fire-knife finale. VIP adds early entry, priority food service, front-section seats, and adult leis.

“The Luau was a great experience. Everything about it was 5-star. I had a VIP ticket and was seated in the first 2 rows. The food in the buffet was good and the show, music, and the MC were incredible. I learned so much about the rich, mythical Polynesian culture. Definitely worth it!”

2.Maui Premium Sunset Dinner Cruise from Ka’anapali Beach

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 903 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $166Top rated

Board Sea Maui’s 65-foot catamaran from the sand at Ka’anapali Beach for a 2.5-hour sunset sail with a chef-prepared buffet, full open bar, and ocean views. December 15 through April 15 adds seasonal whale watching. Indoor and outdoor seating, parking validation, and live music on Wednesdays and Saturdays make this a polished evening out.

“Beautiful sunset cruise. We ate and drank well, and saw many whales. A few breached. The boat’s driver needs to work on his whale approach instincts, and I wish he would cut the engines when close to them.”

3.From Ma’alaea Harbor: Sunset Dinner Cruise Aboard the Quicksilver

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 826 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $139Best value

Spend about two hours aboard Quicksilver, a double-decker motorized catamaran from Ma’alaea Harbor. Watch the sun drop behind Lanai, enjoy a three-course dinner, two included alcoholic drinks, live island-style music, and possible winter whale sightings. Check in at Boss Frog’s 30 minutes early and ask about outdoor seating.

“Save your money. The food and boat ride wasn’t worth the $300! The staff was great, but the food wasn’t warm or appealing.”
