Since I have a small child, I decided to take this cruise ship where we could see whales on a large boat. I was thrilled to see dozens of whales. I requested a Japanese interpreter, and while the interpreter joined us on board, the amount of information provided was far less than the announcements in English. I had to ask the interpreter questions to get answers. I wished they could translate the English announcements directly. Other than that, I was very satisfied.
小さい子がいるので、大きな船で鯨に会えるというこちらのクルーズ船に乗船することにしました。何十匹もの鯨に会えて、感激です。日本人の通訳さんのリクエストをしたところ、通訳さんが乗船してくれたのですが、情報量としては、英語でのアナウンスに遠く及びません。自分から通訳さんに質問して、答えてもらうようにしないといけません。英語のアナウンスをそのまま通訳してもらえればいいのにな、と思いました。それ以外は大満足です。

The staff at the Mendes Ranch was absolutely incredible. The lunch was excellent and the view was spectacular. It was the first time we had done something like this and found it to be something we would do again. Freddy and Roberta were just the nicest people. My husband and I walked away with memories that will last a lifetime. We will be back to do this again Dec. 2013. Until then Mahalo....

Every December, I go to a remote island to enjoy snorkeling trips, but the weather is often bad during this time. However, this time the weather was fantastic, and we were able to relax comfortably on the deck of the boat.
There were some rough waves, so one person got seasick and had to sit down, but since they are generally weak on boats, there's not much you can do about that. The snorkeling at Molokini Island has excellent water clarity, but... although I wasn't expecting much, I was still disappointed by the lack of coral and fish. Having experienced Okinawa, the Maldives, and Palau, I can't help but compare.
At the turtle spot, there were several turtles, and I even encountered one that was floating while mating. However, the visibility there wasn't great, and there were no fish at all. Our group was the only Japanese people there.
Our guide, Takako, was friendly and cheerful, which made our experience enjoyable and comfortable. My father, who couldn't go into the water, was also satisfied because the weather was nice.
毎年12月には離島に行きシュノーケルトリップを楽しみますがこの時期は天候が悪いことも多いです。しかし今回はすっごく良いお天気で船のデッキで気持ち良くすごせました。
少し波が荒かったため1名だけ船酔いしダウンしましたがもともと船に弱いためこればっかりは仕方ないですね。
モロキニ島のシュノーケルは海の透明度は抜群ですが・・・期待していなかったもののやっぱり珊瑚や魚が少なく残念でした。沖縄やモルディブ・パラオを体験してるのでそれと比べてしまいます。カメがいるスポットには何匹もいて交尾しながら浮いてくるカメにも遭遇しました。ただここは透明度は良くありませんし全く魚はいません。
日本人は私達グループのみでした。
ガイドのタカコさんは気さくで天真爛漫。おかげでこちらも楽しく快適に過ごせました。
海に入れない父も天気が良かったので満足していました。

The view from Haleakalā was truly amazing. The sunset changes its expression from day to day, and the starry sky was unlike anything I've ever seen; it's beyond words.
Also, our guide, Yamapee, had such a pleasant personality. His attentive service, guidance at the location until our arrival, and the insider tips about Maui made for an experience that exceeded my expectations.
The warm clothing provided was great, and there was nothing to complain about—both the outdoor bento and the grilled ice were wonderful!
ハレアカラの絶景は、本当に最高でした。その日その日によって表情を変えるサンセット、今まで見たことがない程の星空、言葉になりません。
そしてガイドのYamapeeさんの人柄がとても心地よいです。

I went to Maui for the first time and participated in the Haleakalā sunset and stargazing tour. There were four of us: a group of three consisting of a mother and her two daughters, and me. It was nice to have fewer people, making it more relaxed. The moon was out, so the visibility of the stars wasn't great, but the sunset was beautiful. I was able to have a valuable experience. Next time, I would like to go during the new moon.

I was able to see sea turtles. They were very large, and I was deeply moved when I saw them.
At Molokini, I went snuba diving. It was easier and more casual than scuba diving, and I thoroughly enjoyed the clear waters. The cheeseburger for lunch was also delicious. Additionally, the Japanese staff were very attentive, and I had a great time.

When I chose this dinner cruise on our first trip to Maui, I thought "larger boat, more space". Instead, it was "larger boat more people". The four of us in our group could not believe how many tables were set up on the upper deck. In my opinion, it was not even safe if something had happened to the ship. I even had the sense that the ship was top heavy.
We sat near the bow in the center. For whatever reason, everyone was served around us before we received our food. We were absolutely the last people served, but we weren't the last table in any of the rows. I realize that some table has to be last, but it didn't make any sense in the way they served the tables. We even had to remind them that we hadn't been served. The people at the stern were close to the bar and the food. They were finished with dessert before we had been served. There was almost no way to get the three drinks included with the meal unless you ordered all of them at once. Too many people trying to order from one

My first snorkeling experience at Molokini Island!! I was worried because there were mostly foreigners around, but thanks to the friendly support from a Japanese female staff member (I'm sorry, I forgot her name), I enjoyed it more than I expected. The ocean in October was a bit chilly at first, but once I got in, it was warm. Molokini Island had cave-like formations and beautifully colored fish, making it so much fun that I lost track of time. It was incredibly enjoyable. Even though it was October, the Hawaiian sun was strong, and it got hotter as the afternoon went on, so I ended up getting sunburned!! For those participating, please apply sunscreen generously. Even with sunscreen, you can still get burned (laughs).
はじめてのモロキニ島シュノーケリング!!
まわりは外人さんだらけで心配でしたが、日本人の女性スタッフのかた(ごめんなさい。名前忘れちゃいました)のきさくなフォローもあり思ってたよりも楽しめました。10月の海ははじめはひやっとしましたが、海の中に入ってしまえばあたたかったです。モロキニ島は洞窟みたいなのがあったり、きれいな色の魚がいたりと時間を忘れるほどの楽しさでした。時間を忘れるくらい楽しかったです。10月とはいえハワイの日差しは強く午後になるにかけて暑くなり日焼けもしました!!参加する方は日焼け止めこれでもかってくらいぬってくださいね。塗っても焼けます(笑)

I think even those without horseback riding experience can enjoy it. You can fully enjoy the wonderful views of Maui. I went there with a rental car without a navigation system, but as long as you calmly look at the map, there are no problems. The two-hour English-only session was thrilling for me, as I'm not very good at English, but it was a valuable experience and I’m really glad I did it!
乗馬未経験のかたでも楽しめると思います。

I participated with a friend last month. Since we didn't have a car, we chose a tour that provided transportation. After arriving at the harbor, a Japanese staff member took care of us, which made us feel secure until the end. We also participated in the snorkeling activity. They arranged for us to enter at Molokini Island, and since a group of Japanese girls who were supposed to join us canceled last minute, my friend and I ended up snorkeling together. However, I felt a bit embarrassed as a Japanese person. I borrowed a jacket, but it was warmer than I expected, so I might not have needed it. We also saw honu (sea turtles) several times, so I would like to participate again.

You will gather at the meeting point by rental car. Since other boats depart at the same time, it can be a bit confusing, but look for the boat with Japanese staff at the furthest dock.
The boat takes about an hour to reach Molokini Island. It's a comfortable cruise, although the scenery might be a bit monotonous. Along the way, a Japanese staff member (who is nice) will explain some important information.
Upon arriving at Molokini Island, you can snorkel for about an hour. The fish are decent. The crescent-shaped island doesn't seem to matter much as you get closer.
After getting back on the boat, you can enjoy a hamburger while moving to another point where you can swim with turtles.
If your main goal is snorkeling, you might not need to join this tour. However, considering the unique location of Molokini Island combined with the cruising experience, it's a tour worth participating in.
レンタカーで集合場所へ、他の船も同じ時間に出発なので、ちょっとわかりづらいですが、一番奥の乗り場の日本人のスタッフがいる船です
船は一時間ほどで、モロキニ島へ到着。快適なクルーズです。景色はちょっと単調かな。途中、日本人のスタッフ(いい人です)から、注意事項など説明があります。
モロキニ島到着。1時間くらいスノーケリング。魚は、まあまあってところ。三日月型の島であるということは、近づくとあまり関係なくなります。
船にあっがって、ハンバーガーを頂きながら、別のポイントへ移動。カメと一緒に泳げます。
スノーケリング目的なら、別にこのツアーに参加する必要はないでしょう。モロキニ島という特殊なロケーションとクルージングとセットで考えると、参加したいツアーです。

After completing the 2012 Maui Marathon, I participated with my important partner. Initially, I was worried about whether I could enjoy it after running, but with Yamauchi-san's excellent guidance and the beautiful sunset, all the fatigue from the marathon disappeared.
Later, I couldn't stop crying at the starry sky, which looked like a treasure chest turned upside down against the pitch-black night sky. Thanks to the techniques of our guide Yamauchi-san, we miraculously got to see Saturn, which was truly amazing!
This was the first time I had such a wonderful experience, and I feel like it changed my perspective on life.

It's better to climb the mountain slowly to avoid altitude sickness. Moreover, if you have a little donut or take a detour to eat ice cream along the way, you'll feel really energized and can reach the summit. The Grigri Ice in Maui, which is the only one in the world, is exquisite. It's the greatest happiness to hear our customers' requests and for them to enjoy the tour and leave feeling moved.
