Hokua Private Boat Charter from Maalaea Harbor - Aloha Blue Charters

Awesome boat, awesome crew!

We had 25 people on the boat and had plenty of room. The crew was great. We caught fish, snorkeled and saw so many whales. This boat comes highly recommended!

Maui Ocean Center General Admission Ticket - Visit The Best Aquarium in Hawaii

Okay

I didn’t think the under water tunnel to be the same as the advertised.
Everything else was very informative

Purchasing tickets was very cumbersome. Why do we need a user name and password for something I may never use again.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  早朝から夕方まで4つの開始時間から選べる <11~4月/無料ソフトドリンク付き/マアラエア港発>

Don't worry about the weather! 天候は気にせず!

Reviewed by: korosuke526

This was my first time on Maui, and since it was whale watching season, I prayed for a chance to see them and made a reservation. I was filled with anxiety due to the strong winds from the day before, and on the day itself, the weather was gloomy and the sea was rough.

After about 10 minutes of setting out, I spotted a whale's spout! From there, we encountered whales continuously! Since it's nature, you never know what to expect, but I think it's a tour that can be greatly enjoyed!

初マウイ島、ホエールウォッチングの季節なので、出会える事を祈って申し込みさせて頂きました。
前日からの強風に不安しか無く、当日もドンヨリ天気に海は荒々💦

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ スヌーバ体験付きプランあり<英語ガイド/朝・昼食>

Awesome! 最高!

Reviewed by: Lon

I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.

- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).

最高の一言に尽きると思います。今回私はハワイ島→マウイ島→オアフ島の3か所で複数アクティビティを体験しましたが、間違いなく1番楽しかったのがこのツアーでした。

・シュノーケルとスヌーバの両方を体験可能なプランにしました。船内には20人程度の参加者がいましたが、8割程度がこのプランでした。モロキニ島水域の透明度は素晴らしく、シュノーケリングで終わらせるのはもったいないと思います
・スヌーバは事前の説明さえちゃんと聞いていれば誰でも出来ると思います
・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです
・英語ガイドさんなので、英語がからっきしの方は難しいかも知れません
・ウェットスーツ貸し出しは10USDです。また、タートルタウンでのシュノーケリング・スヌーバは追加で50USD払う必要があります。いずれも船を降りた後に現金で支払いでした(支払う価値ありです)

Expeditions Lanai Ferry Boat Ticket from Maui | Round-Trip & One-Way Rides

Lanai for the day

Reviewed by: Babs

Really great day trip. Super convenient and comfortable ferry ride to Lanai. Our rental car canceled our Jeep at the last minute, claiming they did not have one, even though we paid in full months in advance, but a second company, “cheap jeeps “, came to our rescue, saying that they had to do the same thing for other people. Lots of fun for a day trip from Maui.

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

The best crew!

Reviewed by: Darci

Our family had an amazing time snorkeling and whale watching. The food was also very good and everyone had plenty to eat. Our favorite part was the wonderful crew. They were funny and kind and engaging and made us all feel super comfortable, mostly our 5 and 7 year old. This boat was great for kids and had a few options for them to be able to see the underwater life. We had plenty of time to snorkel and then lots of relaxing time in the boat to see a ton of humpback whales. We are already planning our Four Winds snorkel trip next year!

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  早朝から夕方まで4つの開始時間から選べる <11~4月/無料ソフトドリンク付き/マアラエア港発>

Whale Watching Cruise クジラを追いかけるクルーズ

Reviewed by: 水戸黄門

On Maui, the best time for whale watching is from December 15 to April 15, but it seems that whales start arriving around October. The two-hour cruise involves searching for whales, moving here and there. The moments when you can see them are brief, so you need to constantly scan the surface of the water.

マウイ島では12月15日〜4月15日までがホエールウオッチングに最適の期間とのことですが、10月くらいからクジラはやってくるようです。2時間のクルーズはクジラを探すためにあっちいったりこっちいったり。見える瞬間は短いので、常に海面を探す必要あり。
