The captain and crew were absolutely wonderful. Peak whale season and my husband an I were in Maui celebrating our 25th anniversary. Not only was the dinner delicious and the views spectacular but we also were able to watch the whales. Didn't have to pay a separate fee for the spectacular encounters of the whales. This was absolutely worth every bit of the money we paid and will do it again WHEN we return to Kaalapani.

The crew was knowledgeable and the captain found some great whale locations. We saw quite a few breaches and other amazing whale activities.
However, the boat we went out with was their dinner boat and did not include the advertised hydrophones or binoculars. Had we known this, we might have booked a less expensive excursion that also didn't have these items.

I participated in this on my honeymoon. I was able to see more whales up close than I expected, and I was very satisfied. The closest whale was about 90 meters away. I got to see the head of a baby whale about 20 times. (It's said that seeing so many is quite rare.) A Japanese guide also joined us on the boat. They explained the ecology of the whales and told us which direction the whales were located.
We were supposed to gather 30 minutes before departure, but it was a bit tough waiting in the blazing sun for those 30 minutes. I thought it might have been okay to step out of line and wait in the shade until we set sail.
新婚旅行で参加しました。思った以上にたくさんのクジラを近くで見ることができ、大満足です。クジラは一番近くて90メートル先にいるのを見ることができました。子クジラの頭を20回ほど見ることができました。(こんなにたくさん見れるのは滅多にないそうです)日本語のガイドさんも一緒に乗船してくれました。クジラの生態の説明をしてくれたり、今どの方向にクジラがいるのかを教えてくれたりしました。
船が出航する30分前に集合だったのですが、30分間炎天下の中並んで待ったのでそれが少し大変でした。出航するまでは少し列から外れて日陰で待っても大丈夫だったのでは…と思いました。

It was January 18th, and the mountaintop before sunrise was very cold with strong winds. However, when the sun finally appeared from behind the sea of clouds, it was beautiful and very moving. The sunrise spot was crowded, so we got off the bus and waited in the cold for over 30 minutes. I think it’s a good idea to prepare for the cold with wind protection in mind.
1月18日でしたが、日の出前の山頂は、風が強くとても寒かったです。。が、雲海の向こうから太陽がようやく顔を出したときは、きれいでとても感動しました。日の出スポットは混雑していたので、30分以上前からバスから出て寒い中待っていました。風よけを意識して防寒対策しておくと良いと思いました。

As soon as we headed out to sea, we were able to see three young whales swimming near the surface for a long time. One of them performed a dynamic breach.
I'm glad I could park the rental car in the free parking lot. There were many cars parked on the street, and if the parking lot had been full, I might not have made it to the meeting on time...
沖に出てすぐに、3頭の若いクジラが水面近くで長い時間泳いでるのが見れました。その中の一頭がダイナミックにブリーチングしてくれました。
無料駐車場にレンタカー停められてよかったです。路駐してる車が多くて、駐車場がいっぱいだったら集合に間に合わなかったかも、、、

Very knowledgeable crew! We saw so many whales on our tour which was a bonus. We couldn't snorkel molokini because of the swells being too dangerous so we were able to snorkel at the Coral Gardens which were great as well. Loved everything about this excursion and recommend it for everyone!

Wasn't sure what to expect and it was a lot better than I thought it might be. Food was good, setting very nice - the moon was rising over the mountain - and the show was informative. We are horsey people but you dont't have to be to enjoy the show (might even be better if you aren't.). Very friendly, hotel or mall pickup, we were lucky and had uncle George play. It was nice to have a new activity since we've been coming to Maui for 20+ years

The view was beautiful, the food was good, and the crew was very friendly. However, the boat and experience was not as advertised. The boat was dirty and old, which put a dampener on the atmosphere. From the description, it sounds like you're going on a "high class" cruise in Maui. Instead, you're sitting on plastic outdoor chairs with sticky vinyl tablecloths. We didn't feel it was worth the cost. We did get beautiful sunset photos though.

Your guide was the best. He knew the name of every tree flower and bush. He knew the story behind the water falls and how they feed the water system. It was a fun journey. Unfortunately we could not return on the helicopter because it was too windy and raining. Veltra was quick to give us a refund for the helicopter. This is the way to go if you want to see Hana and all the sights.

As the season was coming to an end, I thought it might not be possible, and indeed, I couldn't see them. The staff kept searching around the sea, but it seems they weren't nearby.
However, I did receive a proper refund. I want to try again next time, so I gave it two stars with hope.
シーズンが終わりに近づいていたので、もしかしたらだめかも、と思っていましたが、やはり、見れませんでした。
ずっと海原をまわって、スタッフの片は探し続けてくれていましたが、近くにいなかったようです。

The waves were strong, so we couldn't dive at Molokini Island, but the weather was great, and the drinks and food were excellent! We were able to swim with sea turtles and see dolphins swimming alongside the boat, which was a valuable experience.
Although there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, there were Japanese instructions available, so we could enjoy ourselves without worry. I would definitely like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.
波が強かったのもあり、モロキニ島では潜れませんでしたが、天気も良く、飲み物や食べ物も出て最高でした!ウミガメとも一緒に泳げたし、船と並走するイルカを見ることができ、貴重な経験をしました。
また、日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでしたが、日本語の説明書が用意されていたので、安心して楽しむことができました。
また機会があれば是非利用したいです。
