It was my first time snuba diving. Molokini was crystal clear and we could see everything. After the snuba dive we were allowed to snorkel some more. We then went to turtle town. I think the corals were spawning. The water was not very clear. But we did see some more turtles. On the way back we even saw some whales.
Wet suit and the second snuba dive price were not included in the voucher. I wish hawaiiactivities would collect these added fees up front rather than we pay in the boat.

It was early in the morning, but the boat was quite full. Surprisingly, there were whales nearby. We were able to see some very large ones and a couple of whales up close, and my wife, who saw them for the first time, was delighted.
朝早かったのですが、船はかなり一杯でした。意外と近くにクジラがいます。かなり大きいものや、カップルのくじらなど近くで見ることができ、初めて見た家内も喜んでいました。

This tour was chosen because Hana's was fully booked. The guide worked hard to explain everything, but since they weren't very proficient in English, it was tiring to try to understand. I recommend it for those who are good at English.
One thing to note: this tour has a separate fee for tips, which can add up to quite a bit. I realized this after signing up. It's fine for those who have a budget to spend luxuriously. The vehicle was nice, and you can enjoy a picnic atmosphere.
このツアーは、ハナの行くのが一杯になっていたので、選択したツアーです。
一生懸命ガイドの方が説明してくれるのですが、英語があまり得意ではないので、理解しようとするのが疲れました。英語が出来る方におすすめです。
一つ注意が。このツアーはチップが別料金になっているのが要注意です。チップも加えるとかなりの高額になります。申し込んだ後で気がついたことです。贅沢に使える資金がある方にはOKですよ。車もいいですし、ピクニック気分を楽しめます。

We saw whales doing different things. We saw the tails and back of the whales as they swam and they were completely oblivious to us. I was hoping to see whales up close. But the state law does not allow the boat to get close. So they were not really that impressive from that far away.

I have never kayaked or snorkeled before. The kayaking was great the instructor/guide went over everything with us. I liked it so much I will start doing it here at home. My wife loved the snorkeling. I had a bit of an issue in the begging because I sink in water so once I put the life vest on I was good to go. I recommend a gopro camera for some unforgettable footage.

There be amazing sights beneath the waves. What a wonderful experience for someone with bad claustrophobia (spelling it is the toughest part). You heard right you land lubbers, this terrific tour is truly for everyone. The crews are pleasant and very accommodating.

We were picked up at our hotel at 3:00 am as promised and then taken up the mountain to see the sunrise. We were lucky as it was a clear day and we got to see the sunrise without issue. Once we arrived at the site, we were given coffee and danish to warm us up. We then took our place with the others and saw the magnificent view. We then got back on the bus and went up to the summit to take a few more pictures. On the way down our driver stopped at two more scenic points so that we could see down into the crater. It was quite a view. At the end of the trip, we were taken to a restaurant on a golf course and fed breakfast. The entire trip lasted about 7 1/2 hours. My one complaint would be that the bus was small and the seats were very tight. Some of the taller and larger people on the bus really had to be uncomfortable for the entire ride as two people could not fit comfortably in one row and there was no leg room at all.

A friend of mine recommended the Molokini Snorkel & Turtle Town Cruise. It was a first for all of us snorkeling and the crew set aside time to tell us what we needed to know. They did an excellent job and made sure they stayed close to the children. All equipment needed was available and demonstrated. The continental breakfast and lunch were very good and arranged in an appealing manner. The crew was very attentive to everyone on board. We had a great time and when we return, will definitely do it again....

I went on the afternoon excursion. Haleakalā was not visible because of clouds that had come in, but the pilot had said there was good visibility that morning. Instead we spent more time getting wonderful close ups of magnificent waterfalls. The helicopter was beautiful and only 4 weeks old. Blue Hawaiian staff were great. The second half of the trip was the luxury van along the road to Hana, this van had only 6 passengers which made for a nice intimate trip. Our driver Kelly, was fantastic, knowing the road very well, as he has been driving it on excursions for over 20 years. We stopped places most do not get to see. I highly recommend this trip and it was one of the highlights on this trip.

I participated on the first day of my trip.
The show during the sunset was wonderfully beautiful.
Also, there were no other Japanese people around us, which made me feel like I was abroad and I really enjoyed it.
The host asked the couples celebrating their wedding anniversaries how many years they had been married, and there was a surprise where everyone celebrated together. I was particularly moved by the couple celebrating their 54th anniversary who shared a sweet kiss.
I definitely want to go when I get married!
As for the food... the bread was fluffy and delicious, but the other dishes had an American feel and weren't very tasty.

It was a garden party filled with a variety of events held around sunset. The venue was a top-notch scenic spot where we could enjoy various shows and a buffet meal while watching the sunset over the sea. Additionally, the performers seemed to be a lineup of stunningly handsome men and beautiful women. Most participants were from the mainland United States, and since the event was conducted entirely in English, my grandmother, who doesn't understand much English, might have been a bit confused.
日没をはさんで催されるイベント盛り沢山のガーデンパーティーでした。会場は一級の景勝地で海の彼方に沈みゆく夕日を眺めながら様々なショーとバッフェ形式の食事を楽しめました。また、ショーの出演者たちは、見とれるようなイケメンと美女ぞろいだったように感じました。参加者はアメリカ本土からが中心で、司会進行は英語のみなので英語があまりわからない祖母は少し困惑気味だったかもしれません。

I saw three shooting stars. After that, the sky gradually brightened, and I was able to see the sunrise I had longed for. The summit is very cold, so it's better to prepare for the cold. (Even with a T-shirt, Heattech, fleece, scarf, and gloves, it was still quite chilly.) I actually wanted to go on a Japanese tour, but I couldn't book it for the desired date... However, I really wanted to see the sunrise. I was anxious about the English tour, but coffee and bread were provided on the bus, and I was able to achieve my goal of seeing the sunrise. There was no explanation about the stars, but if you're just looking to see the sunrise, I recommend it. After the sun rises, they take you to a scenic viewpoint. I was also satisfied with the breakfast after descending the mountain. The scenery was truly magnificent.
流れ星を3つも見ました。その後空がだんだんと明るくなっていき、念願のサンライズをばっちり見ることができました。山頂はとっても寒いので、防寒対策をした方がよいです。(Tシャツ・ヒートテック・フリース・マフラー・手袋ではまだまださむかったです。)本当は、日本語のツアーに行きたかったのですが、希望の日にちではとることができず・・・。でも、サンライズは見たくて・・・。英語ツアーで不安でしたが、バスの中でコーヒーやパンなども提供され、サンライズを見る目的は達成できました。星の説明などはありませんが、サンライズを見るだけで良ければ、おすすめです。陽が昇った後、絶景ポイントに連れて行ってくれます。山を下りてからの朝食も満足できました。とっても雄大な景色でした。

The Orchid farm was awesome and the owners were very informative. My orchids were delivered after I returned home and they greet me each morning with the beautiful smell and sights of them.

We were excited to try snuba for the first time as a family of five, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and one of the kids ended up with severe seasickness, so we couldn't really enjoy it in the end.
Both my husband and I can speak some English, so we thought we would be fine without a Japanese guide. However, we couldn't keep up with the explanations and jokes about snuba due to the loud engine noise on the boat, and we regretted that decision.
The visibility of the fish wasn't as good as we had hoped, and we were imagining schools of fish around coral reefs like we saw in the Philippines, so it didn't reach the level of being impressive for us. I think it would have been the same with snuba. (However, there were participants who were amazed, so this is a subjective impression.)
Also, the seawater was quite cold, and we felt very chilly after getting back on the boat, so thick towels and warm clothing are essential.
On a positive note, we finally got to see a sea turtle from the boat towards the end, which was rewarding! It was adorable.
So, for us, the satisfaction level wasn't very high this time, but that doesn't mean the tour itself was bad.
The staff were really kind, cheerful, and cool, and they were considerate of our seasick daughter, which made our experience very pleasant. Other participants also seemed to be having a great time.
If you're not worried about English and seasickness, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!
スヌーバに初挑戦しようと張り切って家族5人で参加しましたが、船がかなり揺れたため、子どもの一人がひどい船酔いになってしまって、結局それどころではありませんでした。
夫も私もある程度の英語はできるし、日本語のガイドさんがいなくても大丈夫かな?と思って参加したのですが、スヌーバの説明やジョークなど、エンジンの音がうるさい船上では全くついていけず後悔しました。
期待したほどに魚影も濃くなく、フィリピンで見た様なサンゴ礁に群がる魚群を想像していた私たちにとっては、感動というレベルではありませんでした。
スヌーバでも、それは同じだったのではないかと思います。
(でも、参加者の中には、スゴイ!と感激している人もいました。これは主観的な感想なので、なんともいえません)
また海水が結構冷たくて、船に上がってからとても寒かったので、厚手のバスタオルや防寒着は必携です。
でも、ウミガメには、終わりがけにやっと船の上から会うことができたので、報われました♪可愛かったです。
今回、そんな訳で、私たちにとってはあまり満足度は高くありませんでしたが、ツアー自体が悪かったわけでは決してありません。
スタッフのみなさんは本当に親切で明るく恰好よく、船酔いした娘にも気遣ってくれたり、とても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。ほかの参加者もみんな楽しそうでした。
英語と船酔いに心配がない方であれば、きっと楽しめると思います!

Thank you for your review! We are glad you saw whales! When it is peak season of Whale Watching you are sure to get much closer to them! It is truly an amazing experience. State law does not allow the boat to go towards the whales when they are near, however many times they will come up to the boat and we turn the engines off and that is legal if they come up to your vessel. We have had them 'cruise' around our boats for over an hour! We hope to have you again in the future! Mahalo! Lahaina Cruise Company - Hawaii Ocean Project
