We were picked up at the hotel at 6:50 AM, and it took about 15 minutes to get to the port for boarding the cruise.
The tour participants were about half foreign and half Japanese. My husband and I took a seat on the second floor with a good view, and it took about an hour to reach the snorkeling point. The Japanese staff provided a thorough explanation of the snorkeling precautions, which made us feel at ease.
We entered the water and observed the coral reefs and fish. I felt a bit disappointed, thinking, "Is this all there is?" I was expecting more colorful coral reefs.
We changed points and went to see sea turtles, and we were thrilled to encounter them several times.
It was convenient to have breakfast and lunch on the cruise. The food wasn't particularly delicious, but considering the cost performance, I was satisfied.
朝6:50にホテルでビックアップ、その後クルーズ乗船する港まで約15分。
ツアー参加者は外国人と日本人と半々位でした。
二階の眺めの良いところに主人と席を取り、一時間くらいでポイトへ。
シュノーケルの注意も日本人スタッフが丁寧に説明してくれて安心でした。
海に入り珊瑚礁や魚を眺めました。
「こんなものかしら。」と感じ、ちょっと期待はずれ感はありました。
もうちょっと色とりどりの珊瑚礁かと思ってました。

We had a wonderful time with the crew of Aloha Blue on our snorkel cruise. Breakfast was continental with a lovely spread of fruit, pastries and breads. Juice, iced tea, coffee and water were also available.
We were taken to two snorkel spots and had an hour in each location. The time went by much too quickly! Joe, crew member, was in the water with us the entire time to point out sites and ensure everyone's safety. We were also provided with swim noodles (take advantage of those!!) to help swim against the current.
The second spot is known as "Turtle Town" and there are ample opportunities to spot sea turtles. It is great fun looking at the beautiful underwater world of Hawaii and seeing the sea life. Though we only saw one turtle it was worth the experience!
Lunch was cold cut sandwiches, which was disappointing as the tour information specified a BBQ lunch. The food was very good despite the misinformation.

Since I attended with a child under three years old, I was a bit worried about whether it would be okay, but I enjoyed the donuts, appreciated that they had prepared warm clothing for small children, and saw some unique clocks at the shops we visited. The beautiful sunset and starry sky were, of course, wonderful, but the guide's attention to detail was impressive. My child was also very happy.
Personally, I found the information shared during the drive (stories about life on Maui, discussions about Haleakalā, etc.) to be very interesting and engaging. I usually fall asleep in the car, but I didn't have a moment to doze off.
My mother, who joined me and is in her 60s, also said she had a great time. She was surprised by the specialized astronomy discussions (which were very easy to understand!) and the appearance of a professional telescope, as she thought we would just be looking at the stars. I had imagined simply gazing at the night sky as well (which is already beautiful), so I was surprised too.
They provided a Japanese bento box and tea for dinner, along with candy for dessert, making it a truly satisfying tour. Watching the sunset over the 360-degree horizon and the beautiful starry sky made me forget the hustle and bustle of life in Japan, and I felt refreshed.
I think $160 per person (including hotel pickup) is a great deal. I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity. Lastly, I want to thank our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, for all his help. Thank you very much!
3歳以下の子供を連れての参加だったため、本当に大丈夫かなと不安な面もありましたが、ドーナッツを頂いたり、防寒具を小さい子供用にまで準備して頂いていたり、立ち寄ったお店で珍しい時計を見せて頂いたり、きれいなサンセットや星空は無論素晴らしかったですが、細かいところまでガイドさんの心遣いが行き届いていました。本人も喜んでいました。
個人的には、道中、車中での案内(マウイ島の生活の話、ハレアカラ山の話など。。)もとても面白く、興味深くお聞きしました。私はいつもは車中では寝てしまうのですが、寝る間もなかったです。
一緒に参加した60代の母もとても楽しかったと喜んでいました。星空をただ見るだけと思っていたので、専門的な天文学のお話(ですがとてもわかりやすい!)や本格的な望遠鏡の登場には驚いたと言っていました。私もただ星空を見上げることを想像していた(それでも十分キレイですが。)のでびっくりしました。
夕食に日本食のお弁当とお茶、食後の飴まで用意して頂き、本当に大満足のツアーでした。360度の地平線に沈むサンセット、美しい星空を眺めて、日本での生活のめまぐるしさを忘れて、心があらわれるような気分でした。
これで一人160ドル(ホテル送迎付)はお安いと思います。また機会があればぜひ参加したいです。最後になりましたがガイドの山内さん、本当にお世話になりました。どうもありがとうございました。

The difference from the seas I've dived in before is that there are fewer fish, but the encounter rate with sea turtles is very high. It became the best memory for my friend who dislikes fish. The boat rocked quite a bit, and many people got seasick, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. There was a Japanese female staff member who was very kind, making it a reassuring tour to participate in.

We surprised our 10 year old son with surfing lessons on our recent trip to Maui. He was so excited when he finally found out what we were doing.
When we finally found Goofy Foot they were already getting people suited up and checked in. It is a little difficult to find, but worth the search. (Just so you know, it's past the school in a small shopping center on Front Street in Lahaina. Not in the main shopping district).
We checked in and they got him all suited up, he was the only kid that morning. They have small groups, only five people per instructor. They also have a photographer, $20 for 20 pictures. The pictures were good, not fantastic, but the price was great and we have a few really good ones.
The photographer took everyone down to the beach and gave them a lesson in hamming it up for the camera. Then the instructor came down and the lesson started.
They learned all the moves to get up, stay up, speed up and slow down on the sand before moving the board

We went as a family event and enjoyed the event itself, but we bought the pictures and video and two people in our group were not in the video, very disappointing. And there were only a few clips of us in the video. Most of the video is prerecorded stream that a few clips of our family was added to. The crew sells the t-shirts and receive the profit from them but was not willing to give a discount for 8 shirts. Not good business. When paying $60 for video and pictures the crew should have made sure the camera and sd card were working for each ride. Not happy.

Having never been to Hawaii, we wanted to experience many of the romantic options available for couples. This dinner cruise did not disappoint. Our only complaint was the table and chairs - small table with chairs bolted to the floor. Uncomfortable and inconvenient.
The meal itself was well prepared and quite tasty. As non-drinkers we enjoyed the free beverages; however there was always a wait at the bar and we had to wait to get additional drinks. A suggestion would be for the servers to bring non-alcoholic beverages to those without the "alcohol bracelet."
Though Mother Nature did not cooperate and the sunset was less than spectacular, the experience itself was great. The entertainment was well done and we enjoyed the singer's lack of conversation while playing nice music.
This is definitely something we would enjoy doing again.

From the Sheraton Maui where I stayed, it was surprisingly close to walk along the beach walk, arriving in about 7 to 8 minutes. There was an ID check at the entrance, and it seems it's better to have something like a driver's license. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything on me, but I passed without any issues.
While waiting in a long line, we were greeted by a typical Hawaiian light rain, which resulted in a rainbow appearing in the sky, and a nearby American family took a photo for us. By the way, it seems there were quite a few fewer participants from Japan.
The content of the show was well-structured and enjoyable, although the food had a somewhat wild impression for a Japanese person.

I was able to walk in the beautiful sea around Molokini Island. There were about four types of fish, but their beautiful colors captivated me. Near the coast, about 30 minutes away from Molokini Island, I heard there are sea turtles, so I went full throttle... There they were (+。+) Oh no, there were five turtles resting on the ocean floor. The depth was about 10 meters, I think? One of them, for some reason, started coming towards me... I remembered the staff's advice not to touch them... but I wasn't trying to touch it...

We recently visited the Mendes Ranch with a group of 5 (two women in our forties, two 16 year-olds, and a 14 year-old). I owned horses while growing up, but haven't ridden in years, and the other members of our group have ridden once or twice on other trail rides. We all had a wonderful time. We were placed in an intermediate trail group with another couple, making our group total of 7. Butch was our guide and he moved along the line of horses throughout to the ride, checking in with everyone and chatting about the ranch. He took lots of photos with the riders cameras at two different photo locations and even took video of the final run. Other reviews have mentioned the dust on the trail and we did get VERY dirty, but we expected it. At times, Butch had some of the group veer off to other portions of the trail to try to limit the dust. I did not mind this, but our younger members got a bit nervous when they could not see the other horses.

A very nice ride from the marina to Molokini. I liked the intimacy of the small boat compared to having too many people on your trip on the larger boats that filled the area.
We have 3 families of 4 and the crew. Nice size to get the most out of the trip.
You could do some fishing along the way if you wish (on the way back, they caught a huge Mahi Mahi fish). You get a continental style breakfast on the way out.
You see some amazing things in crystal clear waters at Molokini.
We did go to Turtle Town. My wife had a close up encounter with a turtle on his way to the surface for air. She thought it was great.
A nice lunch on the way back which included burgers and sandwiches.

We participated as a family of four.
It was a morning sunrise tour.
We drove to the Lahaina Harbor parking lot with a rental car. Even though it was early in the morning, there were staff present, and when we mentioned the Trilogy tour, we were able to park for $10 for the day.
Participants came from Canada, the United States, and South Korea, and there were no Japanese participants. There was no Japanese-speaking guide.
The ride was comfortable with no waves or wind, just as the sun was rising. On the way, we passed near a large pod of dolphins that were swimming around. The dolphins played a game of chase with the boat. The classic cinnamon rolls were freshly made and warm, and they were delicious.
At Floppy Bay, there was still no one around around 9 AM. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. The bay had high waves at the shoreline, so we needed to wear fins a little offshore where the waves were calmer, which confused my 9-year-old a bit. We saw plenty of fish, and the coral preservation was good, with excellent water clarity. Since there were some waves, it seemed better to stay away from the shallows and rocky areas. We observed underwater at a depth of 2 to 3 meters in slightly deeper water. Since we had children with us, it was reassuring that a staff member from Trilogy sat on a surfboard nearby to monitor everyone's safety. Finally, when we were getting back onto the sandy beach, we had to rush up with the waves, or we might get pulled back out, but the tour captain helped pull the children up onto the shore.
The city tour didn’t have much to see. It was evident that many Japanese immigrants had once contributed to pineapple farming, and their struggles were palpable. There were photos of Japanese people and Japanese dolls in the museum.
Back at the harbor, the barbecue chicken was delicious. Unlike snorkeling from the boat, being on land meant we could enjoy lunch without getting seasick, which is one of the great things about this tour.
The return trip was supposed to follow the same route, but there were a few waves. The captain had advised everyone to take motion sickness medication for the return trip, saying it would be bumpy, so I took it and ended up feeling good and falling asleep.
This felt like a true resort tour, and I was very satisfied.
家族4人で参加しました。
朝のサンライズツアーでした。
ラハイナ港の駐車場まではレンタカーで行きました。早朝ですが係りの人がおり、トリロジーのツアーというと一日10ドルで駐車できます。
参加者はカナダ、アメリカ、韓国からで、日本人はいませんでした。日本語ガイドもつきません。
行きは波もなく、風もなく、ちょうど朝日が昇る時間で、快適でした。ラハイナの北岸を西へ回り込む途中、イルカが大群で生息している近くを通ります。イルカは船と追いかけっこをしてくれました。定番のシナモンロールも作り立てで温かく、おいしかったです。
フロポイ湾は9痔頃はまだ誰もいません。独占状態です。湾は波打ち際で波が高くなるので、波が立たない少し沖でフィンを履く必要があり、小さい子供(9歳)は少し戸惑いました。魚はたくさん見られます。サンゴの保存もよく、水の透明度も抜群です。やや波があるので、浅瀬や岩場には近寄らないほうがよさそうでした。やや深いところで水深2から3メートル下を観察しました。子供連れでもあり、近くに同行したトリロジーの方がサーフボードの上に座って皆の安全を監視してくれていたので安心でした。最後に、砂浜に上がるときも波とともに一気に駆け上がらないと、また沖に引き込まれそうになりますが、ツアーのキャプテンが子供の手を引っ張って上陸させてくれました。
市内ツアーは特に見るものもないです。かつて日本から移民が大勢パイナップル作りに加わっていたことがわかり苦労がしのばれました。資料館に日本人の写真、日本人形があります。
港に戻って、バーベキューのチキンはおいしかったです。船の上からのスノーケリングと違い、陸上ですので酔うこともなく昼食を満喫できるのがこのツアーの良いところです。
帰りはほぼ同じ航路のはずですが、波が少しでました。あらかじめキャプテンが帰りはrompyだからと、皆に酔い止めを勧めましたので服用したら、いい気持ちで寝てしまいました。
これぞリゾートのツアーという感じで大満足でした。

We went snorkeling in Honaunau Bay, and there was only one other boat in the spacious bay, allowing us to swim freely.
The water was very clear, and we enjoyed the corals and fish. We encountered a large number of sea turtles, almost six of them gathered together.
We changed spots and went snorkeling again, but at that location, there were fewer corals compared to the first spot, as it was rocky.
The waves on the way there and back were not too rough, and I didn't feel seasick at all.
I think more Japanese people should consider visiting.

I had gone snorkeling a few times before, but it was my first experience with snuba, and I enjoyed it.
I chose to meet at the location. The parking was easy to find, but there were many tours at the port, and I got a bit lost.
The wind was strong on the way from the port to Molokini Island, and the boat rocked quite a bit. Many people seemed to struggle with seasickness. My eldest daughter (12 years old) took motion sickness medication beforehand but still felt sick.
We started with scuba diving. The water was very clear, and the coral reef was the most beautiful I had seen compared to any other reef I had visited. There were many types of fish, and the kids forgot about their seasickness and had a great time.
After that, we did snuba. A Japanese guide explained everything, so my wife and kids, who are not good at English, felt comfortable doing snuba. The method was simple, and we quickly got used to the breathing technique and were able to dive deep.
After that, we changed spots and went snorkeling again in a sea with sea turtles.
The staff was cheerful and kind, and I highly recommend this tour.

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and my first stay on Maui. I had high expectations for snorkeling at Molokini due to its renowned water quality, which is considered one of the best snorkeling spots.
While the water clarity was decent, I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of fish. The swimming area was also limited due to the presence of many other boats, which restricted movement to avoid collisions. Even after moving to a second location known for high sea turtle sightings, the situation with the fish remained unchanged. I was glad to see sea turtles, but overall, I felt it was lacking.
Based on experiences I read, I anticipated the water would be cold, so I rented a wetsuit for an additional $10. However, at the end of July, the water temperature was warm enough that a towel on the boat would have sufficed.
I participated with my family, but my wife still got seasick despite taking motion sickness medication, so I think it's important to be cautious if you're not feeling well or are sleep-deprived.
Since there are no other ways to participate in Molokini besides the tour, I recommend trying it at least once. However, you may realize that there are many better snorkeling spots accessible from the beach. In fact, on Maui, I had a great time encountering many fish and sea turtles at Honolua Bay.
The staff's service was excellent.
ハワイは8回目で、マウイ島は初めての滞在でした。モロキ二等でのシュノーケリングはかねてよりその水質の良さから、シュノーケルのベストポイントとかなり期待していました。
確かにそこそこ海の透明度は高いですが、肝心な魚が少なく、やや期待はずれでした。遊泳場所も他の船が多いので、交錯しないように限定されてしまいます。2箇所目の海亀出没率の高いところに移動しても魚の少ない状況は変わりませんでした。確かに海亀は見れたので良かったのですが、全体的に物足りなさを感じました。
また、こちらに体験談をもとに海中は寒いだろうと別途10ドル追加しウエットスーツを借りましたが、7月下旬ではそれも不要なぐらい海水温は高く、船上でタオルがあれば不用なぐらいでした。
家族で参加したのですが、妻は酔い止め薬を飲んでいても酔ってしまいましたので、寝不足など体調不良での参加時は注意が必要と思います。
モロキ二にはツアー以外参加方法がないので、一度は参加されることをお薦めしますが、体験されると、おそらくそれ以上のシュノーケルスポットがビーチエントリーでいくつもあることに気づきます。実際マウイ島では、ホノルア湾でたくさんの魚や海亀に出会え、楽しめました。
スタッフの対応は大変良かったです。

I love that I resonate with children; I also adore clocks with moving dials. (laughs) Your child was very honest and straightforward. To prevent altitude sickness on the way, it's safer to have something in your stomach, even if it's just a little. When everyone sees this starry sky from the city, I'm sure a moment of reset will come at the summit. Please feel free to come back to Maui anytime. I'm looking forward to our reunion.
子供と波長が一緒なのか、自分も文字盤が動く仕掛け時計が大好きです。笑
とっても素直なお子さんでしたよね~。
行きのドーナッツも高山病にならないように、
少しでも何かお腹に入っていたほうが安全です。
皆様が都会からこの満天の星空を見た時には、
山頂できっと自分のリセットのひと時が訪れます。
いつでもまたマウイに遊びに来てくださいね。
再会を楽しみにしています。
