Visiting Pro Arts Theater in Kihei, Maui this December was an absolute delight! We attended two…read morefantastic shows: the hilarious "Elf Redundant" and the charming "Charlie Brown Christmas Jazz Band." Both performances were top-notch, showcasing incredible local talent and creating unforgettable holiday memories for our whole family. The theater's website made booking tickets a breeze. Everything was clearly laid out and user-friendly, which made the process stress-free from start to finish. Ticket prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the entertainment. Concessions are available and offer a nice variety of snacks and drinks to enjoy during the show. While the bathrooms are located outside, they are easily accessible and clean. Upon check-in, the friendly staff let us know whether there would be an intermission, which was really helpful for planning our evening. Overall, Pro Arts Theater provides a welcoming, intimate atmosphere and outstanding performances. We highly recommend this local gem to anyone looking for a great night out in Kihei!

We had the BEST experience with Maui Waveriders Kihei, and George completely made it unforgettable…read more From the start, George went above and beyond to make our lesson feel personal and tailored to us. It honestly felt like a private lesson. He took the time to understand our different skill levels and customized everything so we both felt comfortable, challenged, and successful. What stood out just as much as his skill as an instructor was how genuinely kind and respectful he was. As an LGBTQIA couple, we felt completely welcomed and at ease, which meant a lot and made the experience even more special. George is not only an incredible instructor, but someone who truly cares about making sure you have a great time and get full value out of your experience. We both walked away feeling confident, accomplished, and so happy we chose this company. If you're booking, ask for George. You won't regret it.

Definitely one of the highlights of our Maui trip. We highly recommend Maui Beach Boys, and especially Eddie!

We signed up for the group lesson but it ended up being just 4 people with 2 instructors so my daughter and I had our own instructor which was amazing. Our instructor was Eddie and he did a great job. He was with us, helping us and coaching us every step of the way. The location was also perfect for beginners. Despite having no experience we were both able to catch and stand up on several waves. One FYI is that using the address they give our maps was directing us to a place across the street. You want to park in the beach park parking lot and find the truck with their name on it. This experience was the highlight of my vacation.

The venue is beautiful and have plenty of space. We were seated towards the back so it a bit more difficult to pay attention and hear. The show was decent but it didn't start until later and it was paced out pretty slow. The whole event seems to be longer than needed.. from 4:30-8ish but it was nice to experience sunset here. Food was actually decent. A lot of places are ayce but this was family-style. Service was great and they kept refilling our food to make sure we're never empty. The short ribs were the best. Poke was good and simple, fish was a bit dry, salad was refreshing, but fruits were surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it would be in Maui. It's also aycd at the bar but the cocktails were very sweet. I learned to just order shots. They also have coffee and tea available. They had a cool tattoo and cute flower station too. Cool place to check out!

He was in constant communication with me beforehand and during our event, he engaged the children and kept them laughing, participating in his songs, creating balloons, and entertained for an hour and a half.

The plan was set. As part of my trip, I had tickets to a "luau" type dinner and show with about…read more500 other people. The show was Willie K. Being totally out of touch with the Hawaiian music scene I thought..."Ut oh. Another Don Ho impersonator." I figured I was was going to eat as fast as I could so that when the show started I could slip out before "Tiny Bubbles" started... The dinner was actually pretty good at the Marriott. As I was finishing my dessert, the lights dimmed for the show to start....and I glanced around picking out my escape route. What came on stage was a huge bulky Samoan with hair that spread out 3 feet in diameter.. As he said in his subsequent monolog, if you were on a bus and he boarded it, you would get off the bus and wait for the next one. As he talked to warm up the audience he was actually pretty funny. Then he started to play. WOW. He played the guitar with a bass player and drummer. That was it. Yet, his playing filled the song....strumming and playing solos that seemed to be simultaneous and continuous. He was doing riffs with full cords that most guitarists would have trouble with single notes. He played a range of pop, oldies, folk, country. His solos were a match to any professional musician on the circuit today. In the middle of his set, he then said he was an out of the box musician.....and certainly he looked the part. But then.....he started to sing opera with a modern arrangement. Yes....this was way out of the box......and his voice was impeccable. A purist would probably argue his voice wasnt the best that the Met had to offer, but I have sat through enough operas to know he would at least qualify to audition at the Met. His 1.5 hour set just whizzed by. His skills as a guitarist were some of the best I have ever seen, bar none (I was an usher at the Greek Theater for 3 years and saw the world's best musicians there) His voice had had incredible range in range and in timbre. He could have a very pure operatic voice or a raspy Joe Cockerish twang. At the end of his performance, the whole audience was captivated and yelling "HANA HO." No...that isn't a Hugh Grant saying but what I was told was that it was Hawaiian for "ENCORE." If you are planning a trip to Hawaii and have some flexibility of dates and where to stay....and if you like great entertainment, see if you can attend a Wille K concert. He is that good. Looking at his bio later, I found he has backed up, played with or opened some of the biggest names in the business. One of his songs was Grammy nominated which didn't surprise me in tne the least. Well....my night didn't go according to plan....and I was glad. I would have stayed until dawn if he chose to play that long. I was fortunate to see such a great entertainer. HANA HO.

On my last visit to hawaii I stayed at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel. What a treat it was to see…read morethat there was a magic show offered. The first showing impressed me so much I had to go again! Micheal (Kekoa), brings such a special brand of charisma as does the rest of the staff (whom usually alternate). This really brought back my appreciate for magic. The best part is that this is close up magic, so you get a very intimate feel and see things as close as possible. As with all magic shows there is a bit of story you have to buy into, but that's the beauty of it all, is to give that feeling and belief that something can happen. This show and staff really captures all those in the most entertaining and hilarious way possible. Thank you again Kekoa and staff, next time I'm in Hawaii I will surely find any excuse to visit.

If you're looking for something new and different for a fun night, date night, or an alternative to…read morethe movies, I would definitely recommend this show. My hubby and I have been together for more than 30 years so this has been a great new date night option. We have been to 2 of these shows, different magicians, and left thinking both times, "how did he do that?" We've been to the big Vegas Shows but this was like sitting in a cozy living room with a group of friends while watching everything close up. You would be extra lucky if there are children in the group because they add to the "Wow!" factor. The magicians are top notch and do a fantastic job engaging the audience and adding their own humor to their delivery. Last night we were lucky enough to attend Shoot Ogawa's last show (for now. He made everything look so simple, natural, some were old slight of hand but still left us scratching our heads. We understand that he is going to be back in a couple of weeks). If you share your email address, they also provide you discount coupons to attend another show, no strings attached. They said that they rotate through the top 20 international parlor magicians. Even the most skeptical audience members left with smiles on their faces. The magicians also stick around at the end to pose for pictures with people from the audience. We also received a complimentary drink and free validated parking. I would recommend following the instructions on the confirmation to be there early. They take people in by groups. The staff members are super friendly and funny. They take you into a small room with a bunch of neat stuff that make you ask, "is that for real?" The first group will get first choice seating. Sit in the middle for the best view and get ready for a no - low tech night of old fashioned entertainment.
