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 it three times! 3回見れました！

Reviewed by: ちなみ

I was really moved when I got to see the last one up close after seeing it about three times! I participated with my mother and only had my phone, but I was satisfied with the videos I captured! If I had to say something, I wish I could have seen the jumps from closer up, so I gave it four stars. Also, since snacks and drinks are paid, it's better to bring something with you.

It took about 20 minutes to get there by rental car from the hotel, and there was a large public parking lot near the port, which was convenient! I also recommend exploring the town of Lahaina right after it ends.

3回くらい見えたうちの最後の1回がとても近くで見れて感動しました！私は母と参加して携帯しかなかったのですが十分動画におさめられて満足です！強いて言えばジャンプをもっと近くで見たかったな〜という感じなので星4つにしました。あと軽食も飲み物も有料なので何か持って行ったほうが良いです。
ホテルから20分くらいでレンタカーで行きましたが港の近くに広い公共の駐車場があったので便利でした！お昼におわってそのままラハイナの街を散策するのもお勧めです。

Maui Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina -Temporarily Not Available [Dec-May]

‘Twas a beautiful morning chasing sea life!

Reviewed by: Michelle

My little family of 3, husband and my 3 month old, went on this whale watching excursion and it was the highlight of our trip! I was very excited to find out that infants are welcome aboard. The entire crew was very informative, fun, and did everything they could to help the everyone spot some whales. We were so lucky to cruise with hundreds of spinner dolphins right below us. We even got close enough to spot a whale even though we were told it was early in the season. O would recommend bringing binoculars if you have some and a jacket because it definitely gets chilly and windy out there. Thank you to the entire crew for making my dream of seeing the whales come true!

Maui Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina -Temporarily Not Available [Dec-May]

Amazing Whale Watching Experience!!

Reviewed by: Amber Walker

The crew on the tour were professional and courteous right from the start. We were all anxious to see whales and our boat got right out there and we started seeing whale spouts. The boat was always on top of where the whales were. Through out the entire ride, the captain was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all questions. The boat itself was well stocked and very clean. There were plenty of tabkrs inside and on top, as well as seats on the front and back. Everyone had a place to sit and could see the action from anywhere on the boat. The end of the tour was the most incredible. Two whales swam literally under the boat and came out in front of the bow. Seeing how big these amazing creatures were so close was a once in a life time experience. Both whales came up for air at the front of the boat. The whales seemed as curious about us as we were about them, and hung out around our boat for a good fifteen minutes. I highly recommend this tour and their company for an incredible whale watching tour!! The experience is excellent for couples and families with children of all ages. My one bit of advice would be to show up twenty five minutes before check in as it was very busy and took some time to find a parking spot.

A Whale of a Good Time!

Reviewed by: Annette

Captain Nick and the crew of the Alii Nui was outstanding! They were kind, friendly and very helpful. They all made us feel so safe and comfortable. The buffet of appetizers and the selection of drinks was impressive and made for a very pleasant afternoon. We really did not notice how many people were on board which made the atmosphere very light and cheery. It did not take long for Captain Nick to spot a mother Humpback whale and her calf frolicking off the coast. Their antics made for some awesome pictures and wonderful memories to take back home! We had a wonderful time and would love to come back and do it again!

Fortunately, a Japanese guide welcomed us. We received canned juice and snacks.

Although we mostly saw whales from a distance, we were able to see a few up close. At one point, a whale splashed right next to the boat, which was thrilling.

There were several whale watching companies at Lahaina Harbor. Since it was within walking distance from our hotel, I checked the location of the counter in advance while taking a stroll, so we were able to find it easily on the day of the tour.

Seeing Maui from the sea was also a wonderful memory.

Although we did see many whales, nothing was comparable to the impressive photo's shown in add brochures. You well need a nice set of binoculars to see the detail in sales brochures. All we saw were distance tail and fin flops although some say they saw a baby come out of the water.

I saw many mother and baby whales, as well as a pod of whales! 親子クジラ、群れのクジラ、たくさん見られました！

Reviewed by: miho

In the beginning, I was half resigned to the fact that I could only see the whales spouting from a distance, but then a mother and baby whale appeared quite close to us, which was moving. After that, we encountered a pod of about 7 to 9 whales. I was very satisfied. There was a naturalist on the boat who provided commentary through a microphone, which was enjoyable. I couldn't understand all the details, but when a whale appeared, they would say, "○ o'clock!" and "left! right!" so it was fine.

*At the time of booking, it was noted that there would be an "English guide," but when I arrived at the port for check-in, a Japanese guide was waiting for us. I was grateful for the prior explanation about why whales gather around Maui, their habits, and the best viewing points.*

前半は遠くで潮を吹いている姿がちらほら見られるくらいで、なかなか近くでは見られないものなんだなと半分あきらめていたところ、親子クジラがかなり近い距離に現れてくれて感動。その後も、７〜９頭ほどのクジラの群れに遭遇。大満足でした。船にはナチュラリストの方が乗船していて、ずっとマイクで解説をしてくれて楽しかったです。細かいところまでは理解できませんでしたが、クジラが現れると「○ o'clock!（○時の方向）！」「left! right!」と言ってくれるので、大丈夫です。

※予約時点では「英語ガイド」と記載されていましたが、当日チェックイン先の港へ行くと日本人のガイドさんが待っていてくれました。なぜクジラがマウイ島に集まるのか、クジラの習性、見るポイントなど事前に説明してくださってありがたかったです。

Reviewed by: ニーノ

I went with my second-grade daughter and my partner. Initially, we were set to depart from Kaanapali Beach, but due to weather conditions, it changed to Lahaina Harbor. We received an email the day before, but since we were without Wi-Fi, we couldn't reply, and then we got a phone call. It cost about $17 by taxi from our hotel, Sheraton Maui, to Lahaina Harbor. Upon arriving at the harbor, there were several whale watching tour counters, and it took a little time to find the company, Trilogy. In the end, there wasn't a counter, but I noticed a Trilogy staff member standing there calling out "Trilogy?" and we were able to board safely. They mentioned to look for a small white lighthouse, but we weren't directly under it; we were nearby. When I asked at the counter close to the lighthouse, I received a heartbreaking response of "That's not it!" so be careful.

Now, regarding the whale watching itself, I initially sat at the back of the boat, but wanting to see the whales, I moved to the front. There were no seats, but I positioned myself right in the middle at the front to search for whales. Shortly after we set sail, we spotted a spout of water and some splashes that seemed to indicate a jump. The further we went offshore, the more we were able to see tails and jumps. We were thrilled to see whales swimming gracefully close to the boat and the impressive jumps! We were able to see many whales. After returning to the hotel, the tour guide mentioned that "this year, since El Niño has ended, there are a lot more whales," so the chances of seeing them have definitely increased compared to last year. During El Niño, fewer whales travel down to Hawaii from the Gulf of Mexico. Also, it seems that more whale jumps can be seen in the cooler morning and evening waters. We were on the afternoon tour, so we were worried, but fortunately, we were able to see many whales.

Onboard, they served drinks, including alcoholic beverages, ham sandwiches, cookies, and potato chips as light snacks. The crew didn't speak Japanese, but we had no issues and had a great time. I definitely want to visit Maui again in February and participate in the whale watching tour. By the way, I only took photos with my smartphone, so they were far from the impressive shots you see in guidebooks. Some people had DSLRs, but it might be risky since you never know when a splash might come. In the vast ocean, it's hard to know where the whales will appear, so it feels like a waste to look through the viewfinder while trying to spot them.

小２の娘と親子3人で利用しました。当初は、カアナパリビーチから出航でしたが、天候によりラハイナ港発に変わりました。前日にメール連絡ありましたが、wifi環境下におらず返信できずにいたら、電話連絡がありました。宿泊先のシェラトンマウイからラハイナ港まではタクシーで片道17ドル程度。港に着くといくつものホエールウォッチングツアー窓口があり、主催会社のトリロジーを探しあてるのに少々手間取りました。結果としては、窓口はなくトリロジーのお兄さんが立っていて「トリロジー？」と声をかけていたのに気づき無事乗船となりました。白い小さな灯台を目印にとのことでしたが、その真下にいるのではなく、近くにいました。灯台すぐ近くの窓口で聞いたときは、「違います！」との切ない回答だったので、注意が必要です。
さて、肝心のホエールウォッチングは、乗船時こそは後ろのほうで座っていましたが、やはりクジラが見たくてヨットの前方に移動し、椅子はなかったけどど真ん中の真ん前に陣取りクジラを探しました。出航からほどなく沖合に、潮を吹く姿を見つけたり、ジャンプの後らしき波しぶきを見つけたり。だんだん沖に進めば進むほど、しっぽを確認できたり、ジャンプも見られました。船のすぐ近くをクジラが悠々と泳いでいく姿や、迫力のジャンプに大興奮！　多くのクジラを見ることができました。ホテルに戻ってからツアーガイドさん曰く、「今年はエルニーニョが終わったのでクジラがとても多い」とのことで、去年より断然みられる確率が高まったとのことです。エルニーニョの間は、クジラがメキシコ湾にとどまりハワイまで南下するクジラが少ないのだとか。また、クジラのジャンプがより多くみられるのは、海水温の低い朝夕だそうです。私たちは、午後からのツアーだったので、心配していましたが、幸運にもたくさんのクジラを見られました。船上ではアルコールを含むドリンク、ハムサンド、クッキー、ポテトチップスなど軽食とドリンクが供されます。クルーの方々は、日本語は通じませんが、特に問題なくとても楽しめました。また、ぜひ2月のマウイに行き、ホエールウォッチングツアーに参加したいと思います。　ちなみに、写真はスマホ撮影のみでしたので、ガイドブックのような迫力あるショットとは程遠く・・・。一眼レフを持っていた方もいましたが、いつ波しぶきがかかるかも分からないのでリスキーかもしれませんね。広い海の中で、どこからクジラが姿を現すかわからないので、ファインダーをのぞきながらだと見つけにくいという点でももったいない気がします。

I received a polite email from the VELTRA representative informing me that the departure point was changed to Lahaina the day before due to bad weather. At Lahaina Harbor, I had trouble finding parking and almost missed the meeting time, but I was advised about free parking on Front St and Prison St, and I was able to board safely! As others have mentioned, the crew was attentive, bringing drinks, fruit, and snacks to each person, allowing us to focus on enjoying whale watching. I thought the number of passengers was just right. It was exciting when everyone spotted a whale together. I was moved when a whale came close while we had the engine off. I recommend this experience as you can enjoy it regardless of the weather.

I participated in this on my honeymoon. I was able to see more whales up close than I expected, and I was very satisfied. The closest whale was about 90 meters away. I got to see the head of a baby whale about 20 times. (It's said that seeing so many is quite rare.) A Japanese guide also joined us on the boat. They explained the ecology of the whales and told us which direction the whales were located.

We were supposed to gather 30 minutes before departure, but it was a bit tough waiting in the blazing sun for those 30 minutes. I thought it might have been okay to step out of line and wait in the shade until we set sail.

新婚旅行で参加しました。思った以上にたくさんのクジラを近くで見ることができ、大満足です。クジラは一番近くて90メートル先にいるのを見ることができました。子クジラの頭を20回ほど見ることができました。（こんなにたくさん見れるのは滅多にないそうです）日本語のガイドさんも一緒に乗船してくれました。クジラの生態の説明をしてくれたり、今どの方向にクジラがいるのかを教えてくれたりしました。

The morning trip was fully booked, so I reserved the afternoon trip. I saw a lot of whales, but it didn't feel like we were very close to them. The meeting place is a grassy area along Kaanapali Beach with just the company's sign, which might be a bit hard to find. It's recommended for those staying in the Kaanapali area since you can walk there. You board the boat from the beach, but the waves can be quite strong, so you will get soaked; it's necessary to take precautions to keep your smartphone dry. On the boat, they served sandwiches and chips. Drinks, including Maui beer, cocktails, and soft drinks, were unlimited. The tour was in English, but there were no particular inconveniences. Both the captain and the staff were very kind. I brought along a senior with mobility issues, and all the staff helped with boarding and disembarking the boat, for which I am very grateful. However, I think it would be better for those with mobility issues to avoid this trip.
