While the tender experience was painful, the Zodiac whale watching on my birthday was fabulous. Maui Reef Adventures is a terrific choice, the boat is huge, stable and fast but open so you really enjoy the Maui experience. We saw 30+ whales, some of them really close. Crew was phenomenal. I'd fly back to Maui just to go out with them again. ...
The best excursion was here. We did Kaleakala Crater at Sunrise. Our tour guide was beyond amazing and was a wealth of information.

NCL could spend a few bucks and jazz up their area. ...
The port is on the not pretty side of the island, and if the ship is sold out of excursions there is nothing reasonable to go do in the amount of time in dock. ...
We decided to book a small group Road to Hana tour through Valley Isle Excursions. We booked in advance directly through their website. We considered booking the Road to Hana tour through NCL but didn’t know if it was a large or small group plus it was not available for the first day and we didn’t want to book on day 2 and be rushed getting back to the cruise port on time.
