Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

We had a blast!!!

Reviewed by: Lily & Jeff

The snorkeling experience was breath taking,literally!! I hadn't snorkeled in years and had a hard time not breathing through my nose. The team worked with me to get be back in the water and snorkel. The team was very friendly and connected with everyone in a personal level. The boat was smooth ride, which surprisingly didn't get my husband sea sick. We had a great time snorkeling Molokini crater and searching for sea turltles along the shore. We weren't able to snorkel turtle town due to the murky waters, however, snorkeling the back of Molokini crater was also a unique experience. We would definitely take this snorkeling tour again and recommend it to anyone!!!

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

It was beyond my imagination! 想像以上でした！

Reviewed by: mini

I participated on October 14, 2009.
In the morning, the pickup was at 8:04, so it didn't feel too early, and I wasn't too sleepy, which was great!
The boat was very sturdy, the lunch was delicious, and above all, there were two Japanese instructors, which made me feel very reassured and supported!
And the clarity of the sea! It was much more amazing than I had imagined, and I couldn't believe I was in the water! The water temperature was around 25 degrees, and my child and I went in without renting wetsuits, but if you're really not good with the cold, you can rent one for about $10, so I recommend that. If you're not a strong swimmer, you can borrow a floatation device, and the guides will watch over you in the water, so it's very safe.
One disappointing thing was that we couldn't see any sea turtles. Some people in our group were able to see them, so I guess we were just unlucky... If we had seen the sea turtles, it would have definitely been a five-star experience!
I was blown away by the clarity of Molokini, and I definitely want to go diving next time!
Overall, I think this tour is perfect for making memories!

2009年10月14日に参加しました。
朝は8：04にピックアップでそれほど早いとかんじることもなく朝早く眠くて大変だったということもありませんでした(＾＾)
船はとてもしっかりしたものでランチもおいしかったし、なにより日本人のインストラクターの方が２人もいてとても安心しましたし心強かったです！
そして海の透明度！！これは想像していたよりずっっっとすばらしいもので水の中にいるとは思えませんでした！水温は２５度くらいで、私達親子はウェットスーツは借りずに入りましたが、寒いのがすごく苦手！という方は確か１０ドルくらいで借りることができるのでそちらをおすすめします。泳ぐのが苦手という方も体を浮かしてくれる棒を借りれるしガイドの方が海の中で見ててくれるので安心です☆
１つ残念だったのが海亀を見ることができなかったこと(＞＜)
一緒に行った人の中では見れた人もいたようなので私達は運が悪かったんだと諦めてはいますが・・・もし海亀が見れていたら珍しさも☆５つでした！
モロキニの透明度にやられてしまい、次は絶対ダイビングをしたいです！！
とにかくこのツアー思い出作りにはもってこいだと思います

I love Maui, it's the best! 大好きマウイ、サイコーモロキニ！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated on October 6th as a nurse. Molokini is absolutely wonderful. That blue color is truly special. I usually can't be without my glasses due to my eyesight, but the world I saw in that ocean was completely different from my everyday life. I think it's because of the high transparency, but above all, the blue! The moment I entered the water from the boat and dipped my face in, the blue was just mesmerizing. The freshly made cheeseburger with a patty was delicious too!

I was feeling very satisfied, but then a pod of dolphins suddenly appeared, and I was not just satisfied, but extremely excited! They swam alongside the boat and showed off their spin jumps; the surprise of encountering wild dolphins is unforgettable.

The turtle spot afterward was also incredibly exciting! Even though you're not supposed to touch them, they come so close that it's thrilling, yet I found myself thinking, "Don't come so close!" many times! The staff member Takako was also very kind to us.

While chatting about some adult topics (laughs), I went to the luau that you recommended, and it was absolutely fantastic. I mean, it was just the best! There's no way you can go to Maui and not visit Molokini! I absolutely recommend it!

１０月６日に参加させていただきましたナースです。
モロキニ、素敵すぎます。あの青さはホント特別です。
私は普段からメガネの手放せない視力なんですが、あの海で見渡す世界は、完全に普段と別物です。
透明度も高いせいなんだと思いますが、なんといっても青さ！船から海に入って、ちょっと水に顔をつけたところから始まる青さはたまりません。
お昼に焼きたてのパテをはさんだチーズバーガーもおいしかったです♪
満足満足~と思ってたら、突如現れたイルカの群れに満足どころか、大興奮！！船に伴走したり、スピンジャンプを見せてくれたり、野生のイルカちゃんたちの、嬉しいサプライズは忘れられません。
その後のウミガメスポットは、また大興奮o(>▽<)o
触っちゃだめなのに、触れちゃうくらいにくるから、ものすごく嬉しいのに「そんなに近くに来ないで！」って何度思ったことか！
スタッフのtakakoさんにも、大変よくして頂きました。
ちょっと世知辛い大人の話もしつつ（笑）
教えていただいたルアウに行きましたが、最高によかったです。なんていうかもう…最高に良かったんですよ！
マウイまで行ってモロキニ行かないなんてありえません！絶対お勧めですｖ

I participated in the Maui Syndrome infection patient tour on August 19. This was my 12th visit to Maui in 24 years of marriage. Among the 12 visits, I think this tour was the best one for climbing Haleakalā.

Regarding the content, I was very satisfied, just as "Luna" described in her post from June 3.

On the day of the tour, there were many clouds due to a typhoon passing nearby, so we couldn't see a sky full of stars, but I definitely want to participate in this tour again next time. It must be the charm of our guide, Mr. Yamauchi!

マウイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞

The sunken ship is a home for fish. 沈没船はお魚の棲家

Reviewed by: チバチバチーバーズ

During this trip to Maui, we had to give up snorkeling because a certain someone brought a hammer, and instead, we decided to endure a submarine experience. However, it turned out to be more exciting than we expected.

We took a boat from Lahaina Harbor to the submarine, and after watching it surface, we boarded the submarine and descended to the ocean floor. The boat captain's wife is Japanese, and she graciously welcomed us in her limited Japanese. The Japanese narration we heard through the headsets inside the submarine was actually her voice. The sight of colorful small tropical fish swarming around the coral reefs and near the sunken ship was breathtaking. The only disappointment was that the depth of the water absorbed the red colors, making them less vibrant. After about 30 minutes of diving, we surfaced and transferred back to the boat. This time, we watched the Atlantis submarine dive before heading back to Lahaina Harbor.

I hadn't considered this before participating, but I think the timing set for Alan1 is perfect for sightseeing. This is because, being my second time, I could enjoy watching the Atlantis surface and dive from the boat, and since it was getting sunnier, the ocean floor was bright. Plus, being in the morning, the sea was calm. I was truly impressed with Alan1.

　今回のマウイ島旅行グループに何故かかなづちが迷い込んでいた為、スノーケルは諦め、潜水艦で我慢する事にしました。ところが、予想以上の面白さに大興奮でした。
　ラハイナの港からボートで潜水艦付近まで行き、浮上してくる潜水艦の様子を見た後、その潜水艦に乗り込み海底へ。ボートのキャプテンの奥様が日本人なのだそうで、かたことの日本語で精一杯もてなしてくださいました。潜水艦の中で貸してくれるヘッドセットから聞こえてくる日本語の案内は彼の奥様の声なのだそうです。海底の珊瑚礁、沈没船付近に色鮮やかな小さな熱帯魚が群れなしている光景は圧巻でした。残念な事は、水深が深すぎる為に赤い色が吸収されてしまい、赤みに欠けてしまっていることくらいでしょうか。３０分位の潜水の後、浮上し、再びボートに乗り移り、今度はボートから潜水していくアトランティスを見送った後、ボートはラハイナ港へ。
　参加する前には考えが及ばなかったのですが、Alan１で設定されている時間が観光にはベストだと思いました。何故かというと、２回目なので、ボートからアトランティスが浮上してくるところ、潜水するところ、が眺められる事と、日差しが強くなって来る時間なので海底が明るい事、午前中なので海が穏やかな事、さすがアランワンちゃんと思いました。

Maui wouldn't be complete without this. これなしにマウイは完結しないでしょう。

Reviewed by: daisuke

If you go to Maui, participating in this activity is essential for a complete trip. It starts with Krispy Kreme, and you can buy delicious jams and tea at Kula Lodge, and then finally head to Haleakalā. You drive up the 3,000-meter mountain, so there’s absolutely no stress. When you reach the summit, a breathtaking view awaits you. The colors are incredible. At the end, there’s also a heartwarming story from the guide, Mr. Yamauchi. As a side note, it gets quite cold at the top, so especially for women, it’s best to dress warmly to protect against the cold.

マウイに行ったら、これに参加しなければマウイの旅行は完結しないでしょう、という位有意義なアクティビティでした。
クリスピー＆ドーナツに始まり、クラロッジで旨いジャムや紅茶を買う事が出来、いよいよハレアカラへ。
3000メートルの山の登るのですが、車ですぅーと行くので、まったくストレスがありません。
山頂まで着くと、息を飲む光景が待っています。
色が凄いんです。
最後はガイドの山内さんの心温まるお話も付いています。
余談ですが、頂上は相当寒いので得に女性は足などしっかり防寒していったほうがいいです。

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Snuba made easy

Reviewed by: Brian

My girlfriend and I used Aqua Adventure on the 14th of August and it was great. The crew was easy to get along with and they were very helpful with the snuba part of the adventure. I would recommend them to anybody who wants more of a one on one experience they had a small group so it was a lot easier moving around on the boat. The only thing is they need to seperate the twosomes more on the tie line during the snuba dive so they don't run it to each other or get tangled. I was worried about the underwater breathing but it was very easy to do. Hope you give them a shot they are well worth it.

伝統ルアウ＆フラ ハワイアンショー　マウイの神話 ＜優先入場VIP席あり／ビュッフェ夕食／飲み放題／ロイヤル・ラハイナ・リゾート＞

Wonderful luau show. 素晴らしいルアウショー

Reviewed by: マック

On August 9, 2009, I participated with my family of three. We had seen shows in Waikiki before, but this was our first time attending an outdoor luau show. Most participants were from the mainland or foreign countries, and we were the only Japanese group that day. There were about 3% of people of Asian descent, but everyone spoke English fluently, and we communicated in English with those sitting next to us. We also did our best to enjoy ourselves with our limited English. Communication is all about the mindset... I learned how to give tips to the staff by watching others. The show started as the venue was bathed in the orange glow of dusk, and I thought it was a wonderful performance, ranging from traditional hula to fire dancing. On the way back, taxis were waiting outside the venue, so we called one over to take us to our hotel. It became a great memory.

０９年８月９日に家族３人で参加しました。これまでワイキキでショーなど見てきましたが、野外で行われるルアウショーへの参加は初めてでした。参加者は本土の方や外国の方がほとんどで、この日参加した日本人は我々１組でした。東洋系の人が３％程度いますが、皆英語が流暢で、隣になった人達と英語でコミュニケートしています。私達も片言の英語でがんばり楽しみました。コミュニケーションは気持ちのもちようですから・・・。　ボーイさんへのチップの渡し方なども見様見真似で覚えました。ショーは夕暮れのオレンジに会場が色づくころ始まり、伝統的なフラからファイアーダンスまで素晴らしいショーだと思います。帰りは、タクシーが会場の外で待っているので、適当に声をかけて宿泊先のホテルまで送ってもらいました。いい思い出となりました。

Reviewed by: honeymooner

Overall we had a pretty good time at the luau. The food was pretty good. Better than just decent, but not the best or anything. The hostess was great, very funny and sincere. Most of the luaus are sound pretty similar when you read the descriptions, but this also included unlimited drinks and was a little less expensive. The show itself seemed really short, because I was very intrigued by the different dances. Get there early! there was a long line, and they were sold out of the $15pp "VIP" option. i'm not really sure it's worth it anyway. you get up front seating and get in line for food first, but we had a decent view from our seats in the back and the food line went pretty quick! My mom used to dance hawaiian and tahitian, so i was familiar with costumes, props, etc and they seem pretty authentic.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Excellent staff

Reviewed by: Robert

My wife was having difficulty adjusting to breathing with the regulator and was on the verge of a full blown panic attack. I had actually thought she was heading back to the boat but the next thing I knew, she was swimming right beside me. The diver/guide had removed her weight belt to let her get used to breathing underwater and then put it back on. She absolutely did not give up on my wife and had her underwater in no time. It would have been real easy to just let her go back to the boat, but she just wouldn't take no for an answer and we are glad she didn't. The dive was the one of the highlights of our trip!!! Many thanks to the staff!!!

This was our 2nd luau during our trip. Unfortunately, it was only mediocre. With the setting beside a Hotel, it lacked any cultural flavor. The emcee was just that.

The best!!! 最高！！！

Reviewed by: Yoshie Morikawa

I previously participated in the Haleakalā volcano sunrise and downhill tour twice, but this time I joined the sunset and stargazing tour with my family, as my younger child is still small. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations. (I'm sorry!) I never imagined it would become one of the top three memories of my life.

First of all, it was my first time on a tour with a Japanese guide, and Mr. Yamauchi's explanations were very easy to understand. I learned so much more and grew to love Maui even more, realizing how deep it is. The bento box was warm and truly delicious.

The sunset was, of course, moving, but the emotion I felt when I looked up at the starry sky... I was reminded that the Earth is surrounded by so many stars, and I realized for the first time how beautiful the universe is. It was a feeling that could only be experienced by seeing it with my own eyes, not through a planetarium or an encyclopedia. Tears just flowed without reason, and I couldn't stop crying even in the car on the way back.

This is a feeling that you can only experience by seeing it with your own eyes!!

私は以前２度ハレアカラ火山のサンライズ＆ダウンヒルのツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、今回は家族連れで、下の子がまだ小さかったため、このサンセット＆星空観測ツアーに参加しました。正直期待はしてませんでした。（スミマセン！）それがこんな人生で３本の指に入るような思い出になるとは思いもしませんでした。

まず、日本人の添乗員が付いたツアーも初めてだったのですが、山内さんの説明はとてもわかりやすく、より多くのことがわかり、マウイって奥が深いなぁ~とますます好きになりました。幕の内弁当もあったかくてほんとに美味しかったです。

サンセットももちろん感動でしたが、星空を見上げたときのあの感動・・・。地球はこんなにも多くの星に囲まれていることを思い知らされ、宇宙とはこんなにも美しいものだと初めて知りました。それはプラネタリウムでも、事典でもない肉眼で見ているからこその感動でした。訳もなくただただ涙が溢れてきて、帰りの車の中でも涙が止まりませんでした。

これは実際に自分の目で見なければ味わうことの出来ない感動です！！

I saw the Milky Way for the first time in a while. 久しぶりに天の川を見ました

Reviewed by: さんま

Despite being over 3000 meters high, Yamauchi-san drives smoothly along a road without guardrails or streetlights. Since it's a national park, the focus is on the scenery. As expected of America. Apparently, if someone falls, it's the driver's fault.

From below, it looked cloudy, so I was worried, but once we broke through the rain clouds and emerged above the sea of clouds, it was like a different world. The sunset was beautiful too.

Although there were a few clouds, it wasn't a starry sky, but I was able to see the Milky Way for the first time in a while. I also saw the Southern Cross for the first time. A satellite even crossed our path.

It's a shame I didn't know about such a wonderful tour earlier; I would have loved to participate with my wife, who passed away two years ago. However, my sister, who joined this time, was very happy.

On the way back, we talked about ghost stories and listened to nostalgic songs by Takuro Yoshida and Yumi Matsutoya, and the time flew by. Thank you very much.

You can find the Kurihama Park website by searching for Kurihama Flower Kingdom.

３０００ｍを超えているのに、ガードレールも街灯もない道を山内さんは、すいすいと運転していきます。国立公園なので、景観重視との事。さすがアメリカ。転落するのは、運転手が悪いそうです。
下界から見ると雲がかかっているので、心配していましたが、雨雲を抜け雲海の上に出ると、そこは別世界。
夕日も綺麗でした。
少々雲があったので、満天の星空とはなりませんでしたが、久しぶりに天の川を見ることが出来ました。また、初めて南十字星も見ることが出来ました。人工衛星も横切りました。
こんなすばらしいツアーをもっと前に知っていたら、一昨年亡くなった妻と一緒に参加したのに残念です。でも、今回参加した姉はとても喜んでくれました。
帰りは、肝試しの話や、吉田卓郎やユーミンなどの懐メロなども聞け、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。有難うございました。

The sunset and starry sky were wonderful! ♪ 夕陽も星空も素敵でした♪

Reviewed by: るな

We are in our golden years, but we went to Maui for our honeymoon. It was my first time in 13 years, and for my husband, it was his first visit to Maui.

We debated whether to go for sunrise or sunset, but since we wanted to see the starry sky slowly from a mountain over 3,000 meters high, we chose sunset.

At 2:30 PM, we were picked up in front of our hotel (Ka'anapali). As we passed through the town of Lahaina, we were given recommendations for restaurants and galleries. After a tea time at Krispy Kreme, we headed to the town of Makawao. We strolled through unique galleries featuring paintings and glass creations, as well as shops selling cowboy products. We stopped by Kula Lodge and bought a lot of souvenirs like jam and coconut candy. There was a wide variety of jams, and we got to taste several of them. They also had tea and herbal products, creating a lovely, soothing atmosphere.

As we passed through a eucalyptus-scented forest, the scenery changed with the increasing altitude. While listening to stories about the flora and fauna of Haleakalā and the spirits, we arrived near the summit just before evening. We enjoyed a 360-degree view from the height of 3,055 meters until sunset. Through the telescope, we could see the Subaru Telescope on the Big Island's Kīlauea. The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was majestic, and the changes in the sky after sunset were beautiful as well. We were even able to see the Earth's shadow reflected in the sky.

After a restroom break and enjoying a warm Japanese bento, the stargazing began. Looking up at the night sky, it was filled with stars that twinkled quietly rather than sparkling. It made me realize just how many stars surround the Earth. I felt that this night sky was a special encounter made possible by being at such a high altitude. While watching the celestial planetarium, Yamauchi-san's explanations about stars and constellations were easy to understand, and I felt the mysteries of the universe.

It was probably lucky that it was just the two of us participating before Golden Week, but there were additional joys beyond Haleakalā, and Yamauchi-san's stories touched my heart. I didn't feel much cold thanks to my outfit of tights under my jeans and a hot pack around my waist.

熟年ですが・・新婚旅行をかねて、マウイ島に行きました。私は13年ぶり、夫は初マウイ。
サンライズか、サンセットかで迷いましたが、三千メートル級の山で、星空もゆっくりと観たかったので、サンセットにしました。

14時半に、ホテル前（カアナパリ）にお迎え。
ラハイナの街を通りながら、お勧めのレストランやギャラリーを教えていただきました。
クリスピードーナツのお店でティータイム後、マカワオの街へ。絵画やガラス創作の個性的ギャラリー、カウボーイ製品の店など散策しました。
クラロッジに立ち寄り、お土産のジャムやココナッツキャンディーをたくさん買いました。ジャムの種類は豊富で、いろいろ味見させていただき、紅茶やハーブ製品もあり・・癒される雰囲気が素敵でした。
ユーカリの爽やかな香りがする林を通り抜けて、高度が増すごとに、周囲の風景も変わってきます。ハレアカラの動植物や聖霊の話を聞きながら、夕刻前には頂上付近に到着しました。
サンセットまで、ハレアカラ高度３０５５ｍからの風景を３６０度眺めました。
望遠鏡からは、ハワイ島キラウエアのスバル展望台も。雲海に沈む夕陽は荘厳で、サンセット後の空雲の変化も美しいものでした。空に映る地球の影（アースシャドウ）も見ることができました。
トイレ休憩、温かい日本食弁当を食べた後、スターゲイジングの始まりです。
見上げた夜空は、キラキラ星というよりも、静かに瞬いている夜空いっぱいの星々でした。
地球の周りには、こんなにもいっぱいの星があるのですね。３千メートル級の高度だかこそ出遭えた夜空だと感じました。天体プラネタリウムを観ながらの、山内さんの星や星座のお話はわかりやすく、宇宙の神秘を感じました。

ゴールデンウィーク前で、夫婦二人の参加というのもラッキーだったのでしょうが・・ハレアカラ＋αの楽しみがあり、山内さんのお話も心に染みました。
ジーンズ下にタイツ・腰にホッカイロの装備で、寒さはあまり感じませんでした。

A mysterious experience! 不思議な体験！!

Reviewed by: miyachan

This was my first visit to Hana on my seventh trip to Maui. I had heard about it, but it truly is a wonderful place. The road to get there is quite challenging if you're driving a rental car, so I recommend joining a tour. Although there was no Japanese-speaking guide on the tour, I realized that some experiences are beyond words. My husband and I participated, along with a newlywed American couple, making four participants in total. I was worried about the narrow and steep road with many hairpin turns, especially since my husband is sensitive to car rides, but we enjoyed a comfortable drive in a limousine. We were told in advance to wear swimsuits, but there was no swimming. I wondered why, but later learned the reason. I won't write it here as I want it to be a surprise for those who participate. We had a delicious lunch, homemade cookies, a beautiful driver and guide, and enjoyed not only the stunning scenery but also a wonderful day.

After this, something strange happened. When I returned to Japan, I noticed something unusual in the photos I took with my digital camera. If anyone who participated in this tour has had the same experience (regarding the photos), please share your story. It might just be my imagination, so I’ll hold off on writing about it for now. Next time I go to Maui, I want to join this tour again to confirm it.

Maui is a fantastic place with many sights to see. If you have the time, I highly recommend visiting Hana. You will understand why it is said to be "the closest place to heaven." There is untouched, beautiful nature here.

マウイ7回目にして初めて訪れたハナ。
話には聞いていたけど、本当に素晴らしい所です。レンタカーで行くには、大変な道なので、ツアーの参加をお薦めします。日本語ガイドのいないツアーなので、内心、不安もあったのですが、素晴らしいものに言葉はいらないと実感しました。私は夫と二人で参加、一組のアメリカ人の新婚カップルとで4人の参加者でした。片道3時間位の細く険しい道でヘアピンカーブも多く車に弱い夫と一緒だったので心配していたのですが、乗り心地のよいリムジンで、道中心地良いドライブを満喫させていただきました。事前に水着着用と言われていたのに、海水浴はありません。ど~して？と思っていたのですが、後で、そのわけを知りました。あえて、ここに書きません。参加するときのお楽しみとしたいと思います。美味しいランチ、ホームメイドのクッキー、美人のドライバー兼ガイドさん、美しい風景だけでなく、素敵な一日を過ごさせていただきました。
このあと、不思議なことがありました。
　日本に戻ってデジカメで撮った写真に不思議なものが写っているのがわかったのです。もし、このツアーに参加されたかたで、私と同じ体験（写真のことです）をされたかたがみえたら、体験談で紹介してください。私の思い過ごしなのかもしれないので、今書くのはやめておきます。今度マウイへ行ったら、もう一度、このツアーに参加し、確認したいと思っています。
　マウイは素晴らしいところで、観光するところが沢山あります。もし、時間がゆるされるのであれば、一度ハナを訪れてください。「いちばん天国に近い地」と言われる所以がよくわかると思います。手付かずの美しい自然がここにあります。

Deluxe Molokini & Turtle Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy

5-star Excursion to Molokini

Reviewed by: Jason

The staff were very funny, attentive, and just friendly. They made sure everyone is having a good time for the entire trip. From the start to the end, they were constantly working hard! They were serving foods for everyone, fitting snorkel gears, giving instructions, and just talking to the guests.

We were very fortunate to have 100ft+ visibility at the Molokini, so we were able to explore the rim part of the spot. We saw a lot of fish. We loved the Turtle Town where we spotted at least 5 sea turtles.

Great time. Great food. Great crew. Highly recommended!

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch

Maui Adventure Cruises Ocean Raftin

Reviewed by: Kelly

This is the second time for my wife and I. This year we brought our 14 year old son with us. We were lucky enough to see a mother whale and her calf along with plenty of dolphins, turtles, and colorful fish. The staff was very friendly and took very good care of us. I would highly recommend this activity to any party looking for fun and adventure. We will rebook this activity on our next trip to Maui.

ラナイ島 シュノーケリングクルーズ　 ＜1日2便／食事＆アルコール2杯付き＞

This year again at Trilogy! 今年もトリロジーで！

Reviewed by: miyachan1956

A few years ago, I participated in this tour with my family, a total of 11 people. It was a lot of fun. My family enjoyed snorkeling and beach volleyball, while I relaxed in the shade, forgetting the daily hustle and bustle. I thought it was a tour where people of various ages, from my 1-year-old niece to my father-in-law in his 70s, could enjoy themselves in their own ways. The best memory was when we returned to port, sailing into the sunset; the atmosphere on the boat was wonderful. I definitely want to recommend this to honeymooners.

This year, it will be just the five of us: my husband and I, our daughter and her husband, and our grandchild. This will be our seventh time on the Trilogy cruising tour (and our second time to Lanai). The reason we choose Trilogy is that we don't get seasick. I had a tough experience once on another company's boat in Maui, where I got seasick. If you think you might not do well on a boat, please give this a try. I promise you will create wonderful memories.

　何年か前に、このツアーに参加しました。私と家族、総勢11人で。楽しかったです。家族は、シュノーケルやビーチバレーをして楽しみ、私は、木陰で日頃の喧騒を忘れ、ゆったりと過ごしました。1歳の姪から70歳過ぎた義父まで、さまざまな年齢の者が、それぞれの楽しみ方ができるツアーだと思いました。一番の思い出は、帰港のとき、夕焼けの中を帆を立てていく船上は、とてもムードが良かったです。ハネムーナーには、是非、お薦めしたいです。
　今年は、私たち夫婦と娘夫婦と孫の5人です。
トリロジーのクルージング・ツアーは、今年で7回目（ラナイ島へは2度目）になります。トリロジーを選ぶのは、やはり酔わないからです。マウイで、一度、他社の船で、酔って、辛い思いをした経験があるからです。船は苦手と思っておられる人は、是非、参加してみてください。素晴らしい思い出をお約束します。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞＋星空観測ツアー　1名～参加OK！グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり＜午後／日本語ガイド＞

Maui is the best! マウイさいこ～！

Reviewed by: もあなママ！

This was our first time in Maui. It was a bit nerve-wracking since it was our first overseas trip with our 3-year-old child! I was wondering if the "Haleakalā Star Tour" would be suitable for kids, but since it was our special trip to Maui, we really wanted to see the beautiful sunset and starry sky, so we decided to participate!

On the day of the tour, my daughter was so happy with the very kind Mr. Yamauchi! During the drive, when Mr. Yamauchi mentioned, "Sometimes you can see whales around here," my daughter kept asking, "Whales? Whales?" Then Mr. Yamauchi stopped at a spot where we might see whales and helped us look through the binoculars! I was truly moved by Mr. Yamauchi's thoughtfulness!!!

With that kind of experience, we were able to enjoy the wonderful sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā while feeling Mr. Yamauchi's interesting talk and kindness from start to finish. Our first trip to Maui became a very special memory! Thank you so much!

私たちは今回初めてのマウイでした。
３歳になる子供を連れての初めての海外旅行だったのでちょっとドキドキでした！
「ハレアカラの星ツアー」も子供連れで大丈夫かなぁと思いながらも私たちがせっかくのマウイなのでぜひきれいなサンセット＆星空を見てみたいと思って参加しました！

当日！とっても優しい山内さんに娘もうれしそうでした！
ドライブ途中に山内さんが「このへんではクジラが見えるときがあるんです。」の一言に「クジラは？クジラは？」とずっと聞き続けていた娘。
すると山内さんは途中で止まってクジラが見えそうなところに双眼鏡を合わせてくれました！本当に山内さんのお気遣いに涙しそうでした！！！

そんな感じで最初から最後まで山内さんのおもしろトークと優しさをひしひしと感じながらハレアカラの素晴らしいサンセット＆星空を見ることができて初マウイはとてもいい思い出になりました！本当にありがとうございました！

伝統ルアウ＆フラ　ハワイアンショー『テ・アウ・モアナ』 ＜3コースディナー／飲み放題／ワイレアビーチ・マリオットリゾート＆スパ＞

Rain

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

If it is raining for this event it will be moved indoors. Our Luau had to be moved indoors and it wasn't as much fun... Because they had to move the location it took longer to get started. The staff was very kind. If there is the chance of rain, try to reschedule for another night if possible! (The open bar helped make it all OK!)
