冬季限定！ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～4月／英語ガイド／ラハイナ港発＞

The mother and baby whales were amazing! クジラの親子最高でした！

Reviewed by: Greentea

We drove to the port from our accommodation, but if you're going by car, be careful about parking. In Lahaina, the parking lots in the city are almost full by noon, and street parking is not allowed. There are parking lots a bit further away, but I was a bit rushed since we didn't have much time before our meeting.

Due to the boat schedule, we had a bit of a wait, but while relaxing and looking at the sea at Lahaina Harbor, it didn't bother me at all. Right in front of us were Lanai and Molokai islands.

We were the only Japanese family there, and coincidentally, a Japanese guide joined us for the trip, providing us with a personal tour. It was super lucky! Before we headed out, we learned about whale behavior and Maui Island, and soon after, we received the news of a whale sighting. The guide pointed out directions like "10 o'clock" and "2 o'clock." At first, it was difficult to spot them, but as we got used to it, we began to recognize the spots where the whales were blowing water and moving through the waves. Some mother and calf pairs even came very close to the boat, creating a huge excitement on board with cheers all around. In less than an hour, there were over 20 photo opportunities. However, unless you have a telephoto lens, you won't be able to take postcard-like pictures. It seems there are laws regarding the distance from whales, so it might be better to see them with the naked eye.

The guide specialized in whale behavior at university, and since we learned a lot before heading out, I felt like a bit of a whale expert after the tour. I was moved by the affection of the whale mother.

The guide informed us that December, when we visited, was not yet peak season, and that February is the best time. If I can go during that period, I definitely want to join the tour again. During that time, it seems there are spouts of water everywhere.

Regarding seating on the boat, we were advised to sit near the front on the first floor, as that is the best spot for whale watching. Most of the participants went up to the second floor. I realized that having a Japanese guide on board greatly enhances the enjoyment of the tour, even if you're on the same tour. If possible, please inquire about it.

Lastly, a little mishap on my part. I boarded wearing a comfortable dress, but the wind was quite strong, which was a bit embarrassing. Pants would have been the right choice. The noon tour had intense sunlight, and since there was nothing to block it out on the sea, sunscreen is essential. I applied some, but I still got quite sunburned. I took off my hat because it might fly away.

滞在先から車で港へ向かいましたが、車で行く方は駐車場に要注意です。
ラハイナは街中の駐車場は昼にはほぼ満車。路駐は出来ません。ちょっと離れると駐車場はありますが、集合時間に余裕がなかったので少し焦りました。

船の関係で、少々待ち時間が長かったのですが、ラハイナ港でのんびりと海を眺めていると全く気になりません。目の前にはラナイ島とモロカイ島が見えます。

日本人が私たち家族だけで、しかも日本人ガイドさんがたまたま予定があって同乗してくれたため専属でガイドしてくれました。超ラッキーでした！！沖に出るまでに鯨の生態やマウイ島の説明を聞いていると、すぐに鯨発見の知らせが。ガイドさんが、10時、14時の方向・・・と次々と教えてくれます。はじめは見つけることが難しかったのですが、慣れてくると潮を吹いている場所や、波間に動いている鯨の親子がわかってきます。中には、船のすぐ近くまで来てくれる親子もいて、船上は大興奮。歓声があちこちで。1時間弱の間に、20回以上はシャッターチャンスがあったかと。ただし、カメラも望遠でなければ絵葉書のような写真は撮れません。法律でクジラとの距離が決まっているようで、肉眼で見る方がよいかも。

ガイドさんが鯨の生態を大学で専門に研究している方で、沖に出るまでに色々と教えてもらっていたので、ツアー参加後はちょっとしたクジラ博士になった気分。鯨の母親の愛情に感動しました。

ガイドさんからは私たちが訪問した12月はまだピークではなく2月が最高だと教えてもらいました。もし、その時期に行けるのであれば、是非、その時期に再びツアーに参加したいと思います。その時期は、あちこちで潮が吹き回っているのだとか。

船上の席については、先頭近くの1階の椅子を勧められました。こちらが一番、鯨を見るのが適しているのだとか。ツアーのほとんどの方は2階にあがっていましたが。何につけ、日本人ガイドさんに同乗してもらえると、同じツアー参加でも楽しさが倍増だなあ、と痛感した次第。可能であれば問い合わせてみてください。

最後に、私の失敗談。楽ちんワンピースを着て乗り込んだら、風がかなりキツくて参りました。恥ずかしいことですが。パンツが正解。正午のツアーはかなり日差しもきつく、遮るものもない海上のため日焼け止めも必須です。塗っていたのですが、それでもかなり焼けました。帽子は飛ぶかもしれずで脱いでいました。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ ハワイアンショー　マウイの神話 ＜優先入場VIP席あり／ビュッフェ夕食／飲み放題／ロイヤル・ラハイナ・リゾート＞

It was a fun time! 楽しいひとときでした！

Reviewed by: Greentea

This time, considering the burden on my elderly parents, I requested VIP seats, and it was the right choice. We were able to enjoy priority entry and relax in the front row. Our family was the only Japanese there; most of the attendees were from Europe and America. After watching the sunset, we had a proper dinner. The meal was served buffet-style as the sky turned to stars. Honestly, the number of menu items was considerably fewer than I expected, and while each dish was delicious, I started to feel a bit bored halfway through. However, drinks were all-you-can-drink, and with a variety of options, those who enjoy drinking might be very satisfied.

The show itself was full of lively spirit, and laughter echoed throughout the venue. With many attendees from Europe and America, the atmosphere was quite lively. However, since it lasts nearly three hours, the time felt a bit long. It was a bit chilly, so a light jacket is essential, especially since most drinks are served cold.

As for my parents' impressions, they said that while they don't need to see it two or three times, it's a show worth watching at least once.

On the way back, they sell commemorative photos taken at the entrance, and if the picture turns out well, it might be worth purchasing as a keepsake. Although it's a tourist price, my parents were happy with it.

During our stay, we used a rental car, but since we planned to drink, we requested a taxi from the hotel. Please be careful, as drinking and driving is strictly prohibited in Hawaii!

今回は高齢の両親の負担を考え、VIP席でお願いしましたが正解でした。
優先入場、前列席で、ゆったりと過ごすことができました。
日本人は私たちの家族だけ。ほとんど欧米の方々です。
夕焼けを見た後に本格的に夕食。星空に変わる中、ビュッフェ形式のお食事でした。正直、メニューの数は予想よりもかなり少なく、各一品は美味しいのですが、途中から少々飽きてきてしまいました。ただ、飲み物は飲み放題、メニューも多数のため、飲むのが好きな方には大満足かも。

ショー自体はサービス精神旺盛で会場中うけて笑いが起こっていました。欧米の方が多くノリが良いです。ただ3時間ちかくあるため、時間は少々長く感じます。肌寒いので、羽織りもんは必須。飲み物もほとんど冷たいものですので。

両親の感想ですが、二回、三回とは観なくてもよいが、1度は観ておきたいショーとのこと。

帰りがけに入場時に撮影した記念写真を販売していますが、映りが良ければ記念に購入しても。観光価格ですが両親は喜んでいました。

また滞在中はレンタカーを使用していましたが、飲酒するためホテルからはタクシーをお願いしました。ハワイも飲酒運転厳禁ですのでご注意を！！

冬季限定！ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～4月／英語ガイド／ラハイナ港発＞

I was able to see a lot of whales. くじらいっぱい見れました

Reviewed by: あらいぐま

I made a reservation the day before. It was very convenient since I could get immediate confirmation. I went to the counter at the time indicated on the voucher (30 minutes before the start), but there was no one else there, and people started gathering about 10 minutes before. There are no chairs to wait on, and it was hot, so I think arriving about 10 minutes early is sufficient. Once we boarded the boat, we quickly saw a whale spouting water after about 10 minutes. We spotted around 10 whales before reaching Lanai Island. One whale jumped, and I could see its entire belly, but unfortunately, I couldn't take a photo, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour with plenty of whale sightings.

前日に予約しました。即時確約出来るのでとても便利でした。当時バウチャーの通りの時間(開始の30分前)にカウンターに行きましたが他に誰もいなくて10分前くらいに人が集まってきました。待つところは椅子もないし暑いので10分前くらいに行くので十分だと思います。船に乗り込み10分ほどするとすぐにくじらが塩を吹くのが見えました。ラナイ島の近くに行くまでに10頭くらいのクジラが見えました。1回だけジャンプしてお腹も全部見えましたが写真には撮れずで残念でした笑笑　くじらたくさん見られて大満足のツアーでした。

Our large group of nine enjoyed this adventure. Watched the sunrise as we waited for the boat and enjoyed a light snack for breakfast. Costco muffins, juice and coffee. Snorkeling gear was good quality and the staff was very helpful. The crew leader, Jill, was funny.

Reviewed by: yama

I was able to see the whales breaching and diving multiple times. However, this is a matter of luck, and since it was just before the season, I only saw one whale. Additionally, due to regulations, the boat has a set distance it must maintain from the whales, so we were at a certain distance away.

くじらが上に飛び出す姿と、ダイビングする姿が何度も見れました。
しかし、これは運ですが、時期もシーズン直前ということで、一匹しか見れませんでした。
また、船はルール上くじらに近づける距離が決まっているため、ある程度離れた位置になります。

I thought the boat tour hadn't started yet, but I found a tour here and contacted you right away. Thank you for your prompt response regarding the Japanese interpreter, even on such short notice. In the end, it was too early in the morning, so I couldn't make it, but it turned out to be a wonderful whale watching experience, and I was truly moved. I've been on boats many times, but it's been a while since I was able to capture a photo of a jump. The pictures I took with my smartphone are a bit blurry, but I'm so thrilled that I got to see and capture it. Thank you for your attentive support.

Reviewed by: Lapw4.

It was a small group. And being so the crew was very personable and excellent and with the kids. It was nice having one on one time with various crew members.

As for the sights it was very poor visibility. The water due to abnormally large swells that had debris churned up. You couldn't see ten feet.

We did see lots of turtles and a few small fish. The divers did there best in showing us what they could. And they compensated us nicely in the end.

I would do it again.

Reviewed by: naruyuriyou

It was more fun than I expected. The quality is high. The dancing and fire performances are excellent. I think it's great that the audience participates and helps create the stage.

The duration might be a bit long, around three hours.

Alcohol is all-you-can-drink, but there's a long line for general participants to order. The VIP priority counter is empty, but it's clearly distinguished. However, this is Hawaii after all. Staff members come around to take orders. You can order for about $1 each time. You'd be missing out if you didn't know this. Feel free to order and drink as much as you like. It was a great time.

イヤー予想を上回る楽しさでした。

It became a viewing in the rain. 雨の中の観賞となりました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

A few days before our arrival, it had snowed on Maui, and on the day of the luau, there was quite heavy rain, leading us to think it might be canceled. However, it stopped for a while, so the event went ahead. Unfortunately, it started pouring again, and they handed out rain ponchos. The food ended up getting soaked, and it was quite cold, making it uncomfortable to sit for long periods. Many guests left early. The performers' voices also seemed to tremble at times... While we can't control the weather, overall, it wasn't a show that matched the price.

到着数日前には雪の降ったマウイ島、ルアウ当日も結構強い雨でキャンセルになるかと思いきや、一時止んだのでそのまま決行になりました。でも途中からは結構な降りでビニールカッパが配られましたが、料理はびしょぬれでかなり寒く座っているのがつらい感じになり、中座するゲストも相当数いました。出演者の歌声も時々震えてる感じで・・・天気はコントロールできないとは言っても、総合的に見て価格に見合うショーではありませんでした。

I was visiting Maui for a week and a cruise sounded like a great experience for my trip. The ship itself is very old and outdated, the seats are very snug and you sit across from a couple that you do not know. Thankfully we sat across from two very nice and friendly people. I had the roasted chicken and it was dry. The drinks were not good, very watered down and didn’t taste as they should have. Well over priced and do not recommend.
