Maui
We arrived at the aquarium parking lot at 7:15, paid for parking (just to be safe, for 5 hours), and headed to the shop at 7:30.
From the parking lot, go down the stairs behind the sign, and the shop is on the right side.
There are various tours available, so we got a bit confused.
We were the only Japanese people there.
It was a large boat, so I didn't get seasick and it was comfortable.
We encountered a lot of whales, but only saw their tails and backs.
However, I would love to go again.
7:15に水族館の駐車場に着き、パーキングでお金を払い(念のため5時間分)、7:30にショップへ
駐車場から案内板の裏の階段を降りて右側がショップです。
色んなツアーがあるので、ちょっと迷いました。
日本人は私達だけでした。
大きな船なので酔うこともなく、快適でした。
鯨には沢山遭遇しましたが、しっぽと背中ぐらいかな。
でも、また乗りたいです。
The parking lot is closest to the very back of the aquarium. The parking fee was about $15 for 5 hours.
駐車場は水族館の一番奥が近いです。
駐車料金は5時間で15ドルほどでした。
What we signed up for was a nice sunset cruise, and that was wonderful with drinks and food. What was the added bonus was up close and intimate whale watching! Such an incredible time!
We got a mom and her 2 babies on our tour, it was so amazing!
I absolutely loved this tour. I did go on a whale watching tour before but this one really is the best for me. We did an early morning tour & we were only a small group of 11 passengers on the raft. It almost felt like a private tour. The crew was super fun, they shared a lot of information about whales & were very happy to answer any question. Of course the main part, we saw whales!!! :) we saw them so up close & it was one of best experiences in my life. We had multiple whale sightings & we were also lucky to hear some of the whales sing. I am so glad we did an early morning tour the weather was perfect, we got to enjoy the sunrise, watch whales jumping out of the blue waters the perfect Maui vacation we wanted. It was a amazing & a totally next level experience for me. Thank you!!!
We are thrilled you had such a fun whale watch with the crew and the whales were curious and active! Thank you for including us in your Maui vacation!
This was a standard whale watching experience. Boat was nice and clean. Crew was friendly and fun . We didn’t have much luck seeing whales, but it was early in the migration season. If nothing else then it a a nice boat ride around beautiful Maui.
Seats are first come first serve. If you want front row then pick up the pace when walking to boat.
I encountered whales three times while moving to different locations. It was very lucky!! However, even though I parked my car in the designated parking lot, I returned to find a no-parking ticket and a fine of $18!! Is this a targeted attack on rental cars? I wonder if others experienced the same. If so, they should explain in advance that there are fees for public parking.
クジラは場所を変えて移動し3回遭遇しました。大変ラッキーでした!! 但し、指定された駐車場に車を入れたのに、戻ると駐車禁止と罰金18$も取られた!!レンタカー狙い打ちか? 他の方も同じだろうか? ならば事前に公共駐車場の料金かかる事を説明すべきだ。
The local staff were kind and provided good service, but there is a need for improvement in the instructions for meeting on-site during the application process, as well as for confirmation and review.
現地スタッフの方は、親切に説明をされてサービスは良かったですが、申し込みにおいての現地集合案内の不備、確認、見直しが必要です
My husband and I did the sunset cruise on my birthday during our trip to Maui and I highly recommend it. The staff were amazing and made sure all of the guests were well taken care of. The views were unbelievable. The food and drinks were abundant and tasty. We would definitely do it again if we make it back to Maui.
The boat was beautiful, crew helpful and friendly and the tour was breath taking. Couldn’t have asked for a better time! Food and drinks were great - we enjoyed the live music as well.
This was a great cruise! The team onboard was extremely friendly and engaging! Cocktail election was perfect and appetizers were on point! Although it gives you the choice to book with kids, I would caution taking kids who are under the age only because the group of passengers were clearly there for a good time. Overall great experience
It was a fabulous cruise with a great crew, food, music snd drinks!
This was a great time for my family!! The check in process was very easy and we got many great pics! Dinner was also great and the staff was super polite. The weather can't be helped and we had a windy time on the water, but we all managed.
We had an amazing time the guys were great. The sails went up and off we went. They served us drinks right away and they were also great. The food was good and hot and the guys ate clearly very experienced and kept us safe we really had a fun fun.
I would highly recommend this Sunset sail for anyone that wants to have a great experience and get some wind in your face. The wind Was up so that made it better.
Thanks James and crew for making it a memorable experience
Mahalo
John & gang..
We certainly got a great day on the water, baby whales and the family!
Premium is for certain, food was above expectations, and the views throughout the evening were unbeatable.
Overall the boat was comfortable and had space to move around if you wanted to. Crew was attentive and served up drinks and packaged snacks to anyone interested. We learned a lot about the whales, their habits and why they are in Hawaii. We had a very enjoyable time and would recommend this company.
We had an amazing experience on the sunset raft whale watching excursion. Our guides, Luke and Nick, were superb and told us so many facts about the whales. They were attentive to both my teenagers and my 9 year old, providing them with snacks and drinks and making sure that they had a great experience. We saw whales breaching and babies swimming close to the raft. It was the highlight of our trip.
These guys did a great job. Saw many breaching whales! Some even waved at us. Crew was excellent
風が強くて船揺れを心配しましたが、思っていたより揺れもなくクジラのいる場所にたどりつけました。
たくさんクジラがいるのは潮を吹いててわかるのですが、なかなか身体を見せてくれませんでした。しっぽは何度がみれたのは幸いです。
The tour guides were super funny and knowledgable making the tour insightful, fun and AWESOME!! I really appreciated the ability to move around the water and flexibility to follow the whales respectfully.
This was a fantastic outing. A beautiful day for a fun cruise. I had a blast snorkeling. The crew was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The food was very good. Thank you.
We did get to see whales, and it made our anniversary so special!!
Very much a book cruise. Scenery was beautiful and staff were super friendly, but no information on whales other than that is was whale season. being on the boat was wonderful and can't beat the view and we did see whales, but I wish I hadn't had the mai tai as too strong for me. Bus was fun!
This tour was amazing. We went in February during peak whale watching season and saw so many more whales than we were expecting. There were almost no breaks in whale sightings during the two hour experience. The entire crew was fun and professional, especially Taylor who spoke almost the entire time to point out whale sightings, give us fun facts and information about whales, and discuss the importance of conservation. We rented binoculars in the store, which I would recommend to enhance the experience. The views were also incredible of Maui and surrounding islands.
Passionate, knowledgeable staff. Comfortable accommodations. Reasonably priced. Safe boat. Saw lots of whales. Highly recommend this outfitter.
It was our first time and what a treat. 38 whales breached. We seen a mane ray jump out of the water. Whale (fluke). Rhode in the front of the boat what a ride. We Rhode the waves got a little wet. We extremely enjoyed it! Everyone was nice and gave lots of information.
In the first week of January, the sea was calm, and I was able to join the tour without getting seasick. The boat was also large. We got really close to the whales at the viewing point, and we could see them well. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and they brought them to us when we ordered, but we could also go to the counter to get them. The service was good as well. Since you can get sunburned, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential.
1月の1週目、海は穏やかで船酔いすなことなくツアーに参加できました。船も大きかった。ポイントについてすぐ近くまでクジラがきて良く見えました。ドリンクも飲み放題でオーダーすると持ってきてくれましたし、カウンターに取りに行くこともできました。サービスも良かったです。日焼けするので日焼け止め、帽子サングラスは必須です。
We had mild expectations due to my wife's previous whale watching trip.
This visit exceeded our expectations. The captain was very informative and kept us on our toes with whale sightings. W e had a great time for our party of 5.
Thank you for the feedback.
The weather we had was slightly less than perfect but we had an absolute blast with the crew, and we even got to see a few whales. All around a good time
Crew went out of their way to ensure we saw whales. They were very knowledgeable and answered questions
The staff are awesome food and drinks were great, took my wife for our 15 years anniversary it was very beautiful we had a great time!
