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>

More than I expected... 思ったよりも…

Reviewed by: ふわふわ

I did see the whales for sure, but it was no different from what I saw at the viewpoint along the road I drove with the rental car. The staff's response and everything else were good!

確かにくじらは確認できたのですが、
レンタカーで通った道のビュースポットで見たのと変わりありませんでした。

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 deeply moved. 感激しました。

Reviewed by: Nakano

The weather was nice, and the waves were calm, which felt great. I was very excited to see a whale for the first time. I heard that if it were a little later in the season, we could see even more. I requested a Japanese guide, and I was very pleased with the service. If it were only in English, the experience might have been only half as impactful. The guide was wonderful and also provided explanations about Maui, for which I am grateful. Please send my regards to the guide, T. I would highly recommend this experience.

天気がよく、波も静かで気持ちよかったです。初めてクジラを見れて大変感激しました。時期がもう少し後ならもっと見られるそうです。今回日本人のガイドさんをリクエストし対応して頂き大変よかったです。英語だけなら感動も半分くらいかもです。ガイドさんはすばらしい方でホエールウオィチング以外にもマウイの説明をして頂き感謝です。ガイドのTさんに宜しくお伝えください。はかにもおすすめしたいです。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  <12~4月/軽食&アルコール2杯付き/英語ガイド/カアナパリビーチ発>

Whale season has arrived! クジラシーズン到来!

Reviewed by: MTsukakoshi

From December to April, humpback whales come to the Hawaiian Islands, and while I saw them on Oahu, I thought Maui would be a better place to see them up close. I also signed up for the Trilogy, which is a catamaran, so I thought we might be able to see the whales closer to the water's surface. Although the tour was in English, it was fine for us, as we were the only Japanese participants. We were able to see the whales for quite a while, and one came right up to the front of the catamaran, which was very impressive. Additionally, the triangle area between Maui, Molokai, and Lanai is said to be shallow, making it a good spot for nurturing calves. It’s estimated that around 4,000 humpback whales come to the islands each month, so I highly recommend this season for whale watching.

12月から4月の間、ハワイ諸島沖にザトウクジラが来るということで、オアフ島でも見たのですが、マウイ島のほうが近くで見れそうなのとトリロジー号はカタマランなので水面近くでクジラがみられるかも?と思い申し込みをしました。英語のみなのですが、英語の話せない私たちで大丈夫でした。日本人も私たちだけでした。クジラはかなりの間見ることができ、一番近くでカタマランのすぐ前まで来てくれ、迫力満点でした。また、マウイ島、モロカイ島、ラナイ島のトライアングル地帯は地形的に浅いらしいので、子育てにはちょうどいいらしいです。月には4000頭のザトウクジラが来島するらしいので、これからのシーズンはおすすめです。

This is my second time visiting since the year before last, and this year I was able to see whale jumps twice. It was truly spectacular. On top of that, I encountered a pod of dolphins, and they showed us several spin jumps.

一昨年に続いて2回目になりますが、今年はクジラのジャンプを2度見ることができました。それはもう豪快でした。おまけに、イルカの群にも会い、スピンジャンプを何度か見せてくれました。

Pride of Maui Afternoon Snorkel Cruise with BBQ Lunch from Maalaea [Open Soon]

Well worth the price

Reviewed by: Fenyx

This was my only tour in Maui since I did another in Kona.
Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
I was the only person in the cab to and from the tour.

I had a great seat on the boat and everyone seemed very friendly.
They provided everyone with free snorkeling gear but I had a cold so brought my own snorkel. Not sure how much they clean the gear.

Snorkeling site wasn't the best. I didn't see much but others claimed to see a turtle and manta ray. There were far too many people in the water! There was another tour group right next to us. We didn't see many whales either :(

Food and drinks were good, even able to take leftovers.
Overall good experience for singles, families, and couples- gay or hetero.

Snorkeling fun

Reviewed by: Ángel

This snorkeling tour was awesome. We got enough time to play in the water and see plenty of beautiful coral and fish. The food was good and so were the drinks. There was only two downfalls. One, it was a little hard to locate the area if you get there too early. Two. The sun Blai i they had left everyone white, regardless of the constant rubbing in. Besides that, it was an amazing trip!

The Japanese guide, who is 75 years old, spends half a year in Hawaii and half a year in Tokyo, and he certainly doesn't look like a senior citizen. It was wonderful to see him enjoying his life. Thanks to him, I was able to communicate in Japanese, and I think it was great that I got to see whales multiple times. I would love to go again.

日本のガイドさんが75歳でハワイに半年、東京に半年と後期高齢者にはとても見えません。自分の人生を謳歌されて見えたのが素晴らしかった。お陰様で日本語は通じるし、クジラも何回も見ることができて大変良かったと思います。

My family was blown away with how close the whales were to our boat. Two whales came right up next to our boat and lifted their heads for pictures. My family was very happy with the experience. It gets very rocky so a bigger boat for smaller kids would be suggested.

I am very satisfied! 大満足です!

Reviewed by: yuki

I participated in a whale watching cruise in Maui! Despite making a last-minute reservation just three days after arriving on the island, they were able to accommodate my request for a Japanese guide.

The weather was great on the day of the cruise, and not only did we encounter several whales, but we also witnessed a lot of action. At the end, we were even able to see a big jump from the whales about four times, which made for a very satisfying experience!

I had previously participated in whale watching in Oahu, but the number of whales and how close we could get to them was completely different. I'm really glad I joined this tour in Maui. Due to the geographical features, it seems that there are more whales visiting Maui than Oahu. I highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting Maui during the whale watching season! :)

マウイ島 ホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました!
マウイ島に到着してからの申し込みで、3日後という急な予約であったにも関わらず、日本語ガイドさんのリクエストにも応えて頂けました。
当日は天気もよく、何頭ものクジラに出会うことができただけでなく、たくさんのアクションも見ることが出来ました。
なんと最後には大きなジャンプ姿も4回ほど見られて、大満足の体験でした!
オアフ島でもホエールウォッチングに参加したことがあったのですが、クジラの数や、見れる近さも全然違い、マウイ島でこのツアーに参加できてとてもよかったです。地形の特性上、オアフ島よりもマウイ島の方が訪れるクジラの数が多いようです。ホエールウォッチングの時期にマウイ島に来られた方は是非お勧めしたいアクティビティです:)

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  <12~4月/軽食&アルコール2杯付き/英語ガイド/カアナパリビーチ発>

10 times of bleaching 10回のブリーチング

Reviewed by: 宇宙のよっちゃん

We climbed the stairs between the sandy beach and the double-headed boat when the waves were calm, following the crew's signal. Depending on the timing, we got wet up to our thighs, and some people were excitedly shouting "Yay!" When we got on the boat, we sat on the deck and didn't go inside; the crew brought us drinks, egg sandwiches, and fruit. It seemed that this service was to prevent us from missing any whales while eating and drinking on board.

As we headed towards a whale that was slapping its fins in the distance, we unexpectedly got quite close to a breaching whale, but we only saw the last splash. After that, while praying for another breach and aiming my camera, it breached again. In total, we witnessed 10 breaches, numerous fin slaps, and 14 tail slaps, which was amazing; I don't think I'll ever see that many breaches again in my lifetime.

I was disappointed that I didn't know how to order the photos they took. I think it was necessary to register via email in advance?

砂浜から双頭船の間の階段を波が来ないときをクルーの合図で登ります。タイミング次第で太ももあたりまで濡れます、キャーと言って喜んでいる人もいました。船に乗ったら船上に座って中には入りませんでした、飲み物、卵サンドイッチ、果物をクルーが持ってきてくれました。船の中で飲んだり食べたりしているとクジラを見過ごすかもしれないので、このようなサービスだそうでした。
 遠くでムナビレをバチンバチンとしているクジラに向かっていくと、なんとかなり近くでブリーチング突然だったので最後の波しぶきぐらいしか見えませんでした。そのあともう一回ブリーチングしてと祈りながらカメラを向けているとブリーチングしました。結局10回ものブリーチング、ムナビレをバチンバチン多数、尻尾でバチンバチン14回と最高でした、もう一生こんなに多数のブリーチングを見ることはないと思います。
 撮ってくれた写真の注文の仕方がわからなかったのが残念でした。前もってEmailの登録が必要らしかった?
