The whales were fairly visible, and considering the price, it was worth it without being too long of a commitment. I was worried because the reception area was hard to find.

クジラはまあまあ見えてそこまで長い時間の拘束でもなくこの料金なら申し分なし。

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＞

I was satisfied even without the VIP seats. But it was cold! 結果VIP席でなくても満足。けど寒かった！

Reviewed by: ミカン

I reserved a VIP seat, but there was a mix-up on the day, and I was directed to a regular seat (which I found out later). However, the seat I was given was towards the front of the regular section, so I was able to enjoy it as if it were a VIP seat. Later, I was contacted and informed that there had been a mistake with the seating, and they would refund the difference, which they did. I was lucky that my seat was towards the front of the regular section, but if it had been further back, I think I wouldn't have been satisfied, as I would have expected to be sitting in a VIP seat. Since it was nighttime, I thought it would be cold and brought a jacket, but it was even colder than I imagined!

VIP席で予約したが当日手違いがあり通常席の案内となった（後日分かった）。しかし案内された席は通常席の前の方だったのでこれがVIP席なのかと普通に楽しめた。
後日、席の間違いがあったので差額を返金しますと連絡があり、返金してくれた。たまたま普通席の前の方だったのでラッキーだったけど後ろの方なら当日はVIP席に座っているつもりだったので満足できなかったと思う。
夜なので寒いと思い上着を持っていったが、想像よりさらに寒い！

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＞

The best sunset and starry sky that you should see at least once in your lifetime. 一生に一度は見るべき最高の夕日と星空

Reviewed by: よこやま（仮）

Since it was my first time on Maui, I wanted to join a tour and signed up. Just like many reviews said, it was truly the best tour! I was very moved by the sunset and starry sky seen from above the clouds. Our guide, Yamapi, was very kind, knowledgeable, and had an interesting way of talking, which made the journey enjoyable as well. This time, the weather at the summit was good, and I was very lucky to see a nene! I thought I might not have another chance to come to Maui, but this tour made me want to come back to see that scenery again no matter what! Thank you so much, Yamapi!

マウイ島に初めて来たので、何かツアーに参加したいと思い申し込みました。たくさんの口コミ通り本当に最高のツアーでした！雲の上から見る夕日と星空にはとても感動しました。ガイドのヤマピーさんもとても優しく、知識が豊富で話も面白いので道中も楽しかったです。また今回は山頂の天気も良く、ネネまで会えてとても運が良かったです！マウイ島にはもう来れる機会はないかなあと思っていましたが、また何としてもあの景色を見るためにマウイ島に来たいと思えるツアーでした！！ヤマピーさん本当にありがとうございました！！

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＞

Maybe the timing was a bit early. 時期がちょっと早かったかな

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The departure was at 14:15 on December 29. Before boarding, a Japanese guide came to find us and greeted us. There were only two groups of Japanese people. The guide kindly explained the positioning inside the ship. We were able to see spouts from a distance a few times, but there was only one jump in front and about two jumps to the right front. The one in front was relatively close, and we could see the stripes on the whale's belly, with the splash being incredibly large. I believe they mentioned that radar could not be used for whale protection, and we could only approach within 100 meters. During the port call, there was a spout rising in the right front, but there were no jumps. Even though the season has just started, I think it is possible to see whales during the approximately 2-hour cruise. However, I heard that around February 10 is when the number of whales peaks, so if you can choose the timing, that might be a good time to go. Since I couldn't see whales in either Ogasawara or Oahu, this was a very good experience.

12/29　14:15の出航でした。乗船前に日本語ガイドさんが我々を見つけに来てくれて、声をかけてくれました。日本人は2組だけでした。ガイドさんは、船内での位置取り等丁寧に教えてくれました。潮吹きは遠くで何回か見れましたが、ジャンプは前方で1回、右前方で２回くらいでした。前方のものは割と近くでクジラのおなかの縞が分かるくらいと水しぶきの余韻が半端なく大きかったです。クジラ保護のためレーダーが使えず、また100Mまでしか近づけないと言っていたと思います。寄港途中も右舷前方で潮が上がりましたがジャンプはありませんでした。シーズンが始まったばかりでも約2Hのクルーズでクジラを見ることは出来ると思います。ただ2/10位がクジラの数がピークになるとのことだったので、時期を選べるならその頃が良いのかなと思います。
小笠原でもオアフでもクジラを見ることができなかったので、とっても良い体験になりました。

ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー　マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる ＜午前／朝食付き／英語ガイド＞

It was a valuable experience. 貴重な経験でした

Reviewed by: Greentea

I participated with my parents in their 70s.

Previously, I had joined a sunset tour at Mauna Kea on the Big Island, so this time I definitely wanted to experience the sunrise.

The sunrise at Haleakalā was truly a precious experience. The sun rising from the magnificent sea of clouds is hard to describe. The space where we waited in the dark, shivering from the cold, transformed into a bright and warm glow with the sun's arrival—it's something you can only understand by experiencing it. The starry sky was also exceptional, but the beauty of the changing colors of the sky is beyond words.

At the summit, there were many tourists reserving spots, and we waited for about an hour. Warm clothing is essential. We prepared winter heat-tech shirts, down jackets, hats, and gloves, but I regretted not wearing two pairs of pants. Hand warmers are also a must, especially for Japanese people who are sensitive to the cold. However, for the trip back and forth, it's better to wear light clothing like a T-shirt, and it's advisable to prepare for changing clothes on the bus since you can leave your luggage there.

One disappointing aspect was that I had requested a Japanese audio guide, but ultimately there was nothing available. I was prepared for the fact that the sunrise tour only had an English guide, but I had a bit of hope since VERTRA's website mentioned one audio guide for every two people. While it was fine to follow along with others to see the sunrise, I could hardly understand the explanations from the guide on the way there and back due to my limited English skills. That was disappointing.

Breakfast was at a golf course, where you can choose your favorite menu items. The breakfast was really delicious. However, the guide didn't manage the seating arrangements well, and we ended up separated into two groups of two and one for breakfast. I understand that it's difficult to expect the same level of detailed service as in Japan, but I wished the guide had put in a little more effort.

The Haleakalā sunset tour in Japanese is also popular. For those who are good at English and okay with a midnight departure, I think the sunrise tour is definitely worth it. However, if I have the opportunity to go to Maui again, I would like to participate in the sunset tour. Alternatively, it might be good to drive to Haleakalā myself since the road is straightforward, so there's no chance of getting lost—just during the daytime.

70代の両親と参加しました。

以前、ハワイ島でマウナケアのサンセットツアーに参加していたので、今回は是非サンライズを、と思って参加しました。

ハレアカラのサンライズは本当に貴重な体験になりました。
雄大な雲海から昇ってくる太陽はなんとも言い難く。真っ暗で寒さに震えながら太陽を待っていた空間が、太陽によって一気に明るくあたたかく輝いたものに変化していくのは、体験してこそわかるもの。星空も抜群でしたが、移りゆく空の色の美しさはなんとも言えません。
山頂には大勢の観光客が場所とりをして、1時間ほど待っています。
防寒具は必須。私たちは冬用のヒートテックのシャツにダウン、帽子や手袋も準備していましたが、それでもズボンを二枚ばきにすれば良かったと後悔しました。カイロも必須です。寒さに過敏な日本人は特にかも。
ただし、行き帰りは普通にTシャツの軽装の方がよく、バス車内で脱ぎ着ができるように準備しておいた方が良いと思います。バスには荷物を置いておけるので。

残念だったこと。
日本語のオーディオをリクエストしていましたが、結局何もないまま。
英語ガイドしかサンライズはないので覚悟はしていましたが、VERTRAさんのHPには2人に1台貸し出し、とあっていたので少し期待していました。サンライズを観るについては、他の人と同じように動いていれば大丈夫だったのですが、行き帰りのガイドさんの説明など、こちらの英語力の乏しさもあって殆どわからず。残念でした。

朝食はゴルフ場で。自分の好きなメニューを選べます。
こちらの朝食は本当に美味しかったです。
ただ、座席の配分をガイドさんが上手に手配してくれず、私たちだけ2人と1人に分かれて朝食を取りました。日本のような細やかなサービスを求めるのは難しいとはわかっていますが、ガイドさんのもう一手間が欲しかったです。

ハレアカラはサンセットの日本語ツアーも人気です。
英語が得意、夜中の出発もOKの方はサンライズツアーも大いにありかと思いますが、今度、もしマウイに行く機会があればサンセットに参加したいと思います。もしくは、ハレアカラを自分でドライブするのが良いかもしれません。道路については一本道ですので、迷うこともなく。ただし日中に。

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＞

The mother and baby whales were amazing! クジラの親子最高でした！

Reviewed by: Greentea

We drove to the port from our accommodation, but if you're going by car, be careful about parking. In Lahaina, the parking lots in the city are almost full by noon, and street parking is not allowed. There are parking lots a bit further away, but I was a bit rushed since we didn't have much time before our meeting.

Due to the boat schedule, we had a bit of a wait, but while relaxing and looking at the sea at Lahaina Harbor, it didn't bother me at all. Right in front of us were Lanai and Molokai islands.

We were the only Japanese family there, and coincidentally, a Japanese guide joined us for the trip, providing us with a personal tour. It was super lucky! Before we headed out, we learned about whale behavior and Maui Island, and soon after, we received the news of a whale sighting. The guide pointed out directions like "10 o'clock" and "2 o'clock." At first, it was difficult to spot them, but as we got used to it, we began to recognize the spots where the whales were blowing water and moving through the waves. Some mother and calf pairs even came very close to the boat, creating a huge excitement on board with cheers all around. In less than an hour, there were over 20 photo opportunities. However, unless you have a telephoto lens, you won't be able to take postcard-like pictures. It seems there are laws regarding the distance from whales, so it might be better to see them with the naked eye.

The guide specialized in whale behavior at university, and since we learned a lot before heading out, I felt like a bit of a whale expert after the tour. I was moved by the affection of the whale mother.

The guide informed us that December, when we visited, was not yet peak season, and that February is the best time. If I can go during that period, I definitely want to join the tour again. During that time, it seems there are spouts of water everywhere.

Regarding seating on the boat, we were advised to sit near the front on the first floor, as that is the best spot for whale watching. Most of the participants went up to the second floor. I realized that having a Japanese guide on board greatly enhances the enjoyment of the tour, even if you're on the same tour. If possible, please inquire about it.

Lastly, a little mishap on my part. I boarded wearing a comfortable dress, but the wind was quite strong, which was a bit embarrassing. Pants would have been the right choice. The noon tour had intense sunlight, and since there was nothing to block it out on the sea, sunscreen is essential. I applied some, but I still got quite sunburned. I took off my hat because it might fly away.

滞在先から車で港へ向かいましたが、車で行く方は駐車場に要注意です。
ラハイナは街中の駐車場は昼にはほぼ満車。路駐は出来ません。ちょっと離れると駐車場はありますが、集合時間に余裕がなかったので少し焦りました。

船の関係で、少々待ち時間が長かったのですが、ラハイナ港でのんびりと海を眺めていると全く気になりません。目の前にはラナイ島とモロカイ島が見えます。

日本人が私たち家族だけで、しかも日本人ガイドさんがたまたま予定があって同乗してくれたため専属でガイドしてくれました。超ラッキーでした！！沖に出るまでに鯨の生態やマウイ島の説明を聞いていると、すぐに鯨発見の知らせが。ガイドさんが、10時、14時の方向・・・と次々と教えてくれます。はじめは見つけることが難しかったのですが、慣れてくると潮を吹いている場所や、波間に動いている鯨の親子がわかってきます。中には、船のすぐ近くまで来てくれる親子もいて、船上は大興奮。歓声があちこちで。1時間弱の間に、20回以上はシャッターチャンスがあったかと。ただし、カメラも望遠でなければ絵葉書のような写真は撮れません。法律でクジラとの距離が決まっているようで、肉眼で見る方がよいかも。

ガイドさんが鯨の生態を大学で専門に研究している方で、沖に出るまでに色々と教えてもらっていたので、ツアー参加後はちょっとしたクジラ博士になった気分。鯨の母親の愛情に感動しました。

ガイドさんからは私たちが訪問した12月はまだピークではなく2月が最高だと教えてもらいました。もし、その時期に行けるのであれば、是非、その時期に再びツアーに参加したいと思います。その時期は、あちこちで潮が吹き回っているのだとか。

船上の席については、先頭近くの1階の椅子を勧められました。こちらが一番、鯨を見るのが適しているのだとか。ツアーのほとんどの方は2階にあがっていましたが。何につけ、日本人ガイドさんに同乗してもらえると、同じツアー参加でも楽しさが倍増だなあ、と痛感した次第。可能であれば問い合わせてみてください。

最後に、私の失敗談。楽ちんワンピースを着て乗り込んだら、風がかなりキツくて参りました。恥ずかしいことですが。パンツが正解。正午のツアーはかなり日差しもきつく、遮るものもない海上のため日焼け止めも必須です。塗っていたのですが、それでもかなり焼けました。帽子は飛ぶかもしれずで脱いでいました。

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＞

It was a fun time! 楽しいひとときでした！

Reviewed by: Greentea

This time, considering the burden on my elderly parents, I requested VIP seats, and it was the right choice. We were able to enjoy priority entry and relax in the front row. Our family was the only Japanese there; most of the attendees were from Europe and America. After watching the sunset, we had a proper dinner. The meal was served buffet-style as the sky turned to stars. Honestly, the number of menu items was considerably fewer than I expected, and while each dish was delicious, I started to feel a bit bored halfway through. However, drinks were all-you-can-drink, and with a variety of options, those who enjoy drinking might be very satisfied.

The show itself was full of lively spirit, and laughter echoed throughout the venue. With many attendees from Europe and America, the atmosphere was quite lively. However, since it lasts nearly three hours, the time felt a bit long. It was a bit chilly, so a light jacket is essential, especially since most drinks are served cold.

As for my parents' impressions, they said that while they don't need to see it two or three times, it's a show worth watching at least once.

On the way back, they sell commemorative photos taken at the entrance, and if the picture turns out well, it might be worth purchasing as a keepsake. Although it's a tourist price, my parents were happy with it.

During our stay, we used a rental car, but since we planned to drink, we requested a taxi from the hotel. Please be careful, as drinking and driving is strictly prohibited in Hawaii!

今回は高齢の両親の負担を考え、VIP席でお願いしましたが正解でした。
優先入場、前列席で、ゆったりと過ごすことができました。
日本人は私たちの家族だけ。ほとんど欧米の方々です。
夕焼けを見た後に本格的に夕食。星空に変わる中、ビュッフェ形式のお食事でした。正直、メニューの数は予想よりもかなり少なく、各一品は美味しいのですが、途中から少々飽きてきてしまいました。ただ、飲み物は飲み放題、メニューも多数のため、飲むのが好きな方には大満足かも。

ショー自体はサービス精神旺盛で会場中うけて笑いが起こっていました。欧米の方が多くノリが良いです。ただ3時間ちかくあるため、時間は少々長く感じます。肌寒いので、羽織りもんは必須。飲み物もほとんど冷たいものですので。

両親の感想ですが、二回、三回とは観なくてもよいが、1度は観ておきたいショーとのこと。

帰りがけに入場時に撮影した記念写真を販売していますが、映りが良ければ記念に購入しても。観光価格ですが両親は喜んでいました。

また滞在中はレンタカーを使用していましたが、飲酒するためホテルからはタクシーをお願いしました。ハワイも飲酒運転厳禁ですのでご注意を！！

I was able to see a lot of whales. くじらいっぱい見れました

Reviewed by: あらいぐま

I made a reservation the day before. It was very convenient since I could get immediate confirmation. I went to the counter at the time indicated on the voucher (30 minutes before the start), but there was no one else there, and people started gathering about 10 minutes before. There are no chairs to wait on, and it was hot, so I think arriving about 10 minutes early is sufficient. Once we boarded the boat, we quickly saw a whale spouting water after about 10 minutes. We spotted around 10 whales before reaching Lanai Island. One whale jumped, and I could see its entire belly, but unfortunately, I couldn't take a photo, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour with plenty of whale sightings.

前日に予約しました。即時確約出来るのでとても便利でした。当時バウチャーの通りの時間(開始の30分前)にカウンターに行きましたが他に誰もいなくて10分前くらいに人が集まってきました。待つところは椅子もないし暑いので10分前くらいに行くので十分だと思います。船に乗り込み10分ほどするとすぐにくじらが塩を吹くのが見えました。ラナイ島の近くに行くまでに10頭くらいのクジラが見えました。1回だけジャンプしてお腹も全部見えましたが写真には撮れずで残念でした笑笑　くじらたくさん見られて大満足のツアーでした。

セクシーな朝日！ sexy sunrise ！

Reviewed by: fantastic

The sun hid behind the clouds at a crucial moment, but according to our wonderful driver and guide, Neri, we were lucky enough to witness the sexy sunrise, which has only about a 5 percent chance of being seen!

Anyway, on this Haleakalā tour, Neri, the only female driver, was incredibly skilled as a guide and had perfect driving techniques.

The tour was on August 16, and it was really cold; even wearing a Heattech turtleneck and an ultra-light down jacket, I felt like I was shivering. I think it would have been nice to have ear muffs, hand warmers, and something like a blanket or a cape as extra gear.

My fellow passengers were from Germany and the United States (San Francisco, Chicago, etc.), and we all had a great time. The guide spoke in English, and I think I understood about half of it, but it wasn't a problem at all.

太陽は、肝心なところで雲隠れしてしまいましたが、素晴らしいドライバー兼ガイドのネリさんの言によれば、5パーセント程度での確率でしか見ることの出来ないセクシーサンライズ！を拝むことが出来てラッキーでした。
とにかく、このハレアカラツアーで一人しかいないという女性ドライバーのネリさんは、ガイドはこの上なく上手く、ドライブテクニックも完璧でした。
さて、8月16日のツアーでしたが、とにかく寒くヒートテックのタートルネックにウルトラライトダウンを着込んでも震えが来るような体感温度でした。
耳あて、ホッカイロ、毛布ようなマント？のようなものも備えとしてあれば良かったかと思います。
なお、同乗者はドイツ、アメリカ(サンフランシスコ、シカゴなど)のメンバーでしたが、十分に楽しむことが出来ました。
英語のガイドですが、何となく半分程度は理解出来たと思いますが、特に問題はありませんでしたよ。

It was a bit disappointing. 少し残念でした。

Reviewed by: miyuki

The weather was good, but perhaps due to the lack of wind, clouds covered the sky and we couldn't see many stars at the summit. Since the weather is beyond our control, I accepted that. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the guide who suggested we should try again next time. However, at around 1000 meters, we started to see a few stars, so we stopped the car and were able to see the stars again. The guide offered to explain the stars now or to plan for a future visit, allowing everyone to choose.

I felt very humbled, but since we were all meeting for the first time, I thought it would be difficult to choose one option as opinions might differ. There were four groups, and one person from my group said they wanted to proceed with the explanation, but someone from another group suggested we should plan for a future visit, so everyone agreed on the latter. I was fine with the idea of a future visit, but I felt a bit disappointed because I didn't think everyone would be able to return.

Other than that, I thought the attention to detail in the selection of background music and the setup of chairs at the summit was wonderful.

天候は良かったのですが、風があまりなかったせいか雲がかかり山頂で星があまり見えませんでした。天候はどうしようもできないので納得をしています。お心遣い頂き今度リベンジしましょうと言って頂いたのですが、1000mあたりの場所で少し星が見えてきたので、車を停めて頂き改めて星を見せて頂けました。もし良かったら今星の説明をさせて頂くか今度リベンジか皆で選んで下さいとの言葉を頂きました。
非常に恐縮ですが、お互い初めて会った人ばかりで意見は別れる場合もあるのにどちらか選ぶ事は難しいと思います。4グループいて1人の方が今お願いしますと言われましたが違うグループの方がリベンジでと言われたので皆さんリベンジで合わされました。私もリベンジで良かったのですが、皆さんが再訪出来る訳では無いと思いましたので、その点だけ残念に思いました。
その他はBGMの選曲や山頂での椅子のセッティングあらゆる面での説明など事細かな配慮は素晴らしかったと思います。

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

One Maui Morning

Reviewed by: jqgossard

As early as the pick up times for this tour, it was worth it!! The experience to watch the sunrise over Maui and right above the clouds of Haleakala was absolutely amazing!! Shuttle ride up the mountain was perfect to take naps before arriving to the summit. Pick a spot along the fence line as soon as you can because it gets crowded very fast!!

Now...all visitors, PLEASE understand that you are a VISITOR into the home of Hawaiian Islanders, RESPECT their boundaries on their land!!! DO NOT hop over fence lines!! There are barriers for a reason!!
1) They are protecting their island plants and animals as they aren’t very many anymore.
2) STAY OFF SACRED LAND!!! They welcomed you into their home, respect the places you are not allowed to enter!!

Don’t be ignorant!! Respect the land you travel!
There were MANY ignorant people that even when the park representatives came out to get people back over the right side of the fence were ignored!

They opened their home and welcomed you so that you can experience an amazing view, enjoy it by appreciating their hospitality and respecting their boundaries.

The natives will chant as the sunrises, it would be nice for everyone to quiet the conversation and bask in the chant and take in this spectacular experience.

家族４人で参加しました。過去に色々な観光地でOPツアーを経験しましたが山内さんのガイドに優るツアーは思い当たりません。正直、事前に少しリサーチして挑んだのですがリピーターが多いのは頷けます！人生の転換期や彷徨った時などに参加すると心に沁みるでしょうね！

Haleakalā Sunset Stargazing Tour ハレアカラサンセット スターゲージング・ツアー

Reviewed by: マリアテレージア

The level of our guide, Yamauchi, was high, and we received the best guidance. It was a memorable tour. It was very cold, but the stars seen from the summit of Haleakalā were a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During the explanation of the stars, it felt like something out of Star Wars, with laser beams creating an illusion that the stars were suddenly closer. It was really cool.

ツワ～ガイドさんの山内さんのレベルが高くて、最高の案内をして頂きました。思い出に残るツワ～でした。
とっても寒かったけど。 ハレアカラ山頂から見た星。生まれて初めての経験でした。星の説明の時まるでスターウォーズ見たい、いきなり星が近くなるような錯角をおこす位レザー光線｡。カッコ良かったです。

Private Road to Hana Tours Maui - Waterfalls, Rainforests & Coastal Scenic Drive with Expert Guide

10/10

Reviewed by: Jake

This tour was so fun. We had a really nice driver that talked about the culture and history of Maui, and she even asked my wife and I questions about ourselves. She knew all the best places to stop & take pictures, eat banana bread, and what literally every plant was. She was truly and expert guide. At one point, she stopped at a waterfall for us to look at, and she said we could jump off of it and she'd take a video of us. And we did!! It was SO fun. Wow. I would do this again. Anyone who goes might want to bring a change of clothes/a towel in case you want to go for a swim!

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 fulfilling! 充実していました！

Reviewed by: rhmm0512

After seeing the beautifully clear sea and fish at Molokini Island, I moved near Wailea and played with sea turtles. The hamburger served on the boat was also very delicious.

モロキニ島にて透き通るほど綺麗な海で魚たちを見た後、ワイレア付近に移動しウミガメと戯れました。船上ででたハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: マリアテレージア

I waited a long time for the whale to appear, and finally, it showed up. I was able to encounter it at the fountain. The weather was also perfect, and I had a great time.

なかなか現れてくれず、鯨をずーと待ってました。やっと現れてくれて。⛲と出会うこと出来ました。天気も最高☀️で満喫出来ました。

Wonderful guide. すばらしいガイド

Reviewed by: yama

You can hear various stories about Maui along the way. The guide, who is knowledgeable about the stars, provides detailed explanations using a telescope. If I had gone by rental car, I wouldn't have been able to have such an experience.

道中で様々なマウイ事情を聞けます
星に詳しいガイドさんが望遠鏡を使って丁寧に説明してくれます。
レンタカーで自分で行ったら、こんな体験はできなかったはずです。

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 able to see whales perfectly. バッチリくじらが見れました

Reviewed by: yama

I was able to see the whales breaching and diving multiple times. However, this is a matter of luck, and since it was just before the season, I only saw one whale. Additionally, due to regulations, the boat has a set distance it must maintain from the whales, so we were at a certain distance away.

くじらが上に飛び出す姿と、ダイビングする姿が何度も見れました。
しかし、これは運ですが、時期もシーズン直前ということで、一匹しか見れませんでした。
また、船はルール上くじらに近づける距離が決まっているため、ある程度離れた位置になります。

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＞

I was deeply grateful! 感謝感激でした！

Reviewed by: miyuki

They provided clear and detailed explanations about where to sit after boarding. They were always attentive to me, offering ginger-infused soda and acupressure for motion sickness when I started to feel unwell. Even after entering the water, they supported us while considering each person's swimming level! I struggled to encounter a turtle, but after persistent effort, they found one at the last moment, and the turtle came up to the surface for air! It was so cute and moving!!

They even set aside a hamburger for me since I couldn't eat due to feeling unwell, and I truly appreciate their thoughtfulness. My husband, who participated with me, was also very touched! Thank you so much!

乗船してからどこの位置に座ればいいかなどその他も事細かな説明を分かりやすくして頂きました。船酔いしていまった私に、生姜の入った炭酸水や酔い止めのツボを押してくれたり常に気に掛けて頂きました。また、海に入ってからもそれぞれの泳ぎのレベルに配慮してサポートして頂きました！亀になかなか出会えず粘りに粘って最後の最後で、亀を見つけてくれて息継ぎに亀が水面に上がって来ました！とても可愛いくて感動しました!!
ランチのハンバーガーを気分が悪く食べられなかった私の分も取り置いてくれていて、心遣いに心中より感謝致します。一緒に参加した主人もとても感動しておりました！本当にありがとうございました！
