I visited Lanai Island, which is easily accessible by boat from Maui. It was an absolutely wonderful island that I had never imagined! It felt like a place where nature began, a place of origins.
The most amazing spot that I definitely want to visit again is Sweetheart Rock! Perhaps because of the legend of a tragic love story, the scenery is untouched and incredibly dynamic! The sky and sea are so blue! I could have gazed at it forever.
And! Our guide, Isaac, was the best! He explained everything with great effort to us, who are not very confident in English, and even took care of our lunch concerns. I am so grateful! I definitely want to join Isaac's tour again! Thank you for all the wonderful memories!
マウイ島から船で気軽に行けるという事で、ラナイ島に行ってみました。そこは、全く想像していなかったとにかく、とても素晴らしい島でした!!
地球の始まりと言うか、自然はこうやって生まれていった。みたいな・・・始まりの場所。
中でも一番素晴らしくまた訪れてみたいと思った所はスイートハート・ロック!! 悲恋の伝説がある為か、誰も手をつけられない景観!ダイナミック過ぎる(≧∀≦)空も海も青い!ずーっと眺めていたかった。
そしてぇ!ガイドのIsaacさんが最高〜〜♪英語のおぼつかない私達にとにかく一生懸命に説明してくださり、お昼の心配までしてくれて感謝感謝です(≧∀≦)
絶対!!またIsaacさんのツアーに参加したいと思いました♪素敵な思い出を沢山ありがとうございました\( ˆoˆ )/

Took the round trip ferry ride to Lanai. Very comfortable ride. We expected Lanai City to be at the ferry dock...should have done more research.

The ferry runs regularly from Lahaina to Lanai. They are efficient and get you there safely. The ferry is comfortable with enclosed cabins to stay warm and dry...or cool and dry depending on the day.

For anyone who comes to Maui frequently an eventual day trip to Lana’i is a welcome diversion. The 45 minute ferry ride is relaxing with great cliff views approaching Manele Harbor. Our tour included a morning drive with high point and view stops and a tour of Lana’i City, a lunch/shopping break and another drive to cover some more points of interest. Lana’ Is a bit of a time warp with both an ancient history and a new future with its purchase by Oracle founder Larry Ellison. The best part was our tour guide, Bruce, who gave the day his all. Loved it! Take cash as it’s so tiny some places do not accept credit cards. We had a 5 year old in our group of 5 who did great. If you are curious take the whole tour. There is also one lovely beach you can walk to from the ferry if you just want to chill.

We participated with my 3-year-old child, my husband, and my mother, making a group of four. By the time we returned to the port, it was drizzling, but we were blessed with great weather, creating truly wonderful memories. My mother was a bit anxious about participating since she had hurt her legs and back not long ago, but thanks to the support of our Japanese guide, Kana, she was able to safely enter the sea and was very happy. She didn't want to get out of the water! The staff on the boat were very attentive, which made us feel very secure.
My husband carried our child into the sea. Although our child wore a life jacket and snorkeling goggles, they were too scared to put their face in the water. Many kids enjoyed using boards with scopes attached to them. There were also parts of the boat where you could peek into the water, and our child was delighted to see the sea from there.
In the morning, there was a buffet on the boat with fruits, cupcakes, and drinks. For lunch, we had a choice of hamburgers or hot dogs, with patties and sausages grilled fresh on the boat in a BBQ style. I couldn't drink since I was driving, but by the end, the boat turned into a bar where we could enjoy local craft beers and other drinks. All the staff were cheerful, and we had a really fun time.
They also provided reef-safe sunscreen, which I appreciated. I felt like they thought of everything. I would love to participate again when my child is older. Thank you very much!
3歳の子供と、主人と、母の4人で参加しました。港に戻る頃には雨がぱらついていましたが、いいお天気に恵まれて本当に素晴らしい思い出になりました。
母は少し前に足腰を痛めて、参加できるか不安なまま当日を迎えましたが、日本人ガイドのカナさんのサポートのおかげで無事海にも入ることができ、とても喜んでくれました。なかなか海から上がりたがらないくらいでした。船の上でもマメに声をかけてもらえるので、とても安心しました。
子供は主人が抱いて海に入りました。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルのメガネを付けましたが、怖くて海には顔を付けられませんでした。ボードにスコープが付いたものもあり、それを使って楽しんでいた子もたくさんいましたよ。船の中でも一部、海中が覗けるようになっているところがあるので、そこで海を見て喜んでいました。
朝は船の上でフルーツやカップケーキ、ドリンクなどのバイキング。昼はハンバーガーかホットドッグで、パティやソーセージは船上グリルで焼きたてを提供するBBQスタイルです。私は車なので飲めませんでしたが、最後は港に戻るまで船上バーになり、地元のクラフトビールなどのお酒も楽しめます。スタッフの方はみんなノリがよくて、本当に楽しかったです。
サンゴに優しい日焼け止めも用意してくれています。至れり尽くせりだなと感じました。
子供が大きくなったらまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

On the day of the tour, we drove there with a rental car. We quickly found parking, but the meeting point was not at the address listed; it was in the area circled in the map photo that was sent later. It was a bit confusing, but we found it right away. After confirming attendance, we signed the board and received our boarding passes before setting sail. Breakfast was already prepared on board, with fruits, bread, and coffee available. The boat is two stories, with a kitchen, bar, and two restrooms on the first floor. The second floor has the cockpit and benches for passengers. Most of the participants in the tour were young couples and families, with few Asians present.
The tour took us to two locations. The first stop was Molokini Island, where we could enjoy snorkeling for about an hour. The tour includes goggles and fins, but not wetsuits. We rented wetsuits for $10 each on the day. The water temperature was a bit low, so having one would be more comfortable if you plan to stay in the water for a long time. On the way to the second location, we had hamburgers, which were incredibly delicious after swimming! Be sure to enjoy them while breathing in the fresh air; it feels wonderful. The second spot is said to be where sea turtles can be seen around Waimea. As the guide mentioned, we were able to see a sleeping sea turtle! On the way back, drinks were available at the bar, including three types of beer and Mai Tais. We enjoyed a relaxing adult time. I highly recommend it.
当日はレンタカーで自分達で向かいました。駐車場はすぐに見つけられましたが、集合場所が住所に記載された場所ではなく、後から送られてくるマップ写真の丸で囲った部分でした。少し混同しましたが、すぐに見つけられました。出欠確認をして、サインボードにサインをして、ボーディングパスを貰って出航です。船内には既に朝食が用意されていました。フルーツやパン、コーヒーを楽しめます。船は二階建で一階部分にキッチンとバー、トイレが二箇所あります。二階は操縦席と客席用のベンチがありました。ツアーに参加されている人は、若い夫婦、家族連れが多かったです。アジア系は少ないです。ツアーでは二箇所を巡りました。一箇所目はモロキニ島。約1時間の間シュノーケルを楽しめます。ツアーにはゴーグルとフィンは含まれますが、ウェアは含まれません。私達は当日1人10ドルで借りました。水温が少し低いので、長時間水の中に居るのであればあった方が快適だと思います。二箇所目に向かう道中で、ハンバーガーを頂きました。これがまた泳いで疲れた身体には最高に美味しかったです!是非外の空気を吸いながら召し上がって下さい。幸せを感じます。二箇所はワイメアの辺りの海亀が見られると言われているスポットでした。ガイドさんの言う通り、居眠りをしている海亀さんを見る事が出来ました!帰り道では、バーでお酒が頂けます。3種類のビールに、マイタイなど。大人の時間をまったりと楽しめました。お勧めです。

Aloha! The Four Winds II is a family-fun boat, but still has amenties for all ages. Next time you are on Maui, I would recommend a trip on our sister vessel the Maui Magic which is a smaller catamaran that takes ages 5 & up.

We were blessed with great weather, calm waves, and high visibility, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling under excellent conditions. Among the participants, we were the only two Japanese, but thanks to the wonderful support from the staff member Takako, we were able to spend our time from check-in to check-out without any worries or inconveniences. Even though it was already April, at the end of the season, we were thrilled to see whales multiple times before reaching Molokini Island. At the snorkeling spot, Takako quickly found a sea turtle and let us know, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. The meals and drinks on the boat were diverse and delicious, and during snack time, they even walked around distributing cookies on the deck, showcasing their thorough hospitality. Throughout the tour, it was impressive to see the staff working energetically and happily. This became the best memory of our trip. I highly recommend this to anyone planning to visit Maui!
天候に恵まれて、波が静かで透明度も高く、とてもよい条件の中でシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。参加者の中で日本人は私たち2名だけでしたが、スタッフのタカコさんの気配りの行き届いた素晴らしいサポートのおかげで、チェックインからアウトまで、何の不安も不自由もなく過ごすことができました。シーズンも終わりの4月だったにもかかわらず、モロキニ島に着くまでに何度もクジラをみることができ、感激でした。シュノーケリングスポットでは、タカコさんがいち早くウミガメを見つけて教えてくれて、存分に楽しむことができました。船中での食事や飲み物も種類豊富で美味しく、おやつタイムには甲板にまでクッキーを配り歩いてくれるなど、徹底したホスピタリティを感じました。ツアーを通して、スタッフの皆さんがきびきびとかつ楽しそうに働いている姿が印象的でした。今回の旅行で一番の思い出になりました。マウイに行かれる方に、是非おすすめしたいです!!

We have been coming to Maui for years but have never ventured off the island to visit Lana'i. First of all, Veltra allowed us to change the tour date from a Monday to a Thursday with no problem since we had a conflict come up. The ferry ride from Lahaina was easy and took about 45 minutes. The sea was very calm and although they recommend taking sea sickness pills, it wasn't necessary for this trip. Our tour guide Bruce, met us at the ferry dock on Lana'i. He drove us around in an air conditioned Suburban which was very comfortable. It was just the two of us so the tour was really personalized. We took the full day tour which really gives you a great impression of the island. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, then an hour for lunch and 2 hours in the afternoon. Bruce, our guide has lived on Lana'i for 20 years and was very knowledgeable. He has seen the positive changes that have occurred on Lanai' since Larry Ellison bought the island five years ago and thoroughly explained the evolution of the island through the current day. We were then dropped off at the ferry dock for the 4:30 p.m. ferry back to Lanai--note, you need to book the return ferry when you schedule the tour and for the all day tour, the 4:30 p.m. ferry is the one to take.

It started out as an ordinary boat ride, on a beautiful clear day, light variable winds. Then, nearing Lanai, we noticed dolphins swimming close to the ferry, going the opposite direction. Some were leaping and spinning. Our boat captain took the moment to slow the boat and loop back around to circle the dolphins again. Thrilling boat ride after all!
I guess part of my delight in the day was the weather -- beautiful and warm on the island. Return trip just as smooth as when I went out in the morning. Then saw a whale.
I'd do the trip again in a minute!

On the way to Lanai Island, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins, and it was wonderful to stop the boat and take our time to watch them.

The local female guide was very polite and shared many stories unique to the area. On the return trip, we enjoyed drinks while watching the sunset, making for a truly lovely time.

We were lucky that it was a beautiful day on the water. Everything was perfect! We saw so many whales we couldn't keep up with which side of the boat they were breaching on. Our "Captain Dan" was the most amazing host. He provided a lot of insight into the whales (their behaviour, etc), the surrounding area & history, the crew on the boat and even his own life. It wouldn't have been the same without him onboard. Thanks, "Lieutenant Dan"!! Riley was an excellent bar keep and equipment manager. I don't remember the names of the rest but all were so professional and accommodating. Snorkelling on the Molokini for a newbie like my wife was a breeze thanks to ALL of them. Will definitely book this again when we go back to Maui.

I was looking forward to Molokini, but unfortunately, the weather was bad with rain the day before. The sky was covered with thick, dull clouds, and the sea didn't shine brightly. There weren't as many fish as I had hoped, but I did encounter sea turtles. After snorkeling, I enjoyed the resort atmosphere with free drinks, including beer. I was a bit surprised that the transportation was a taxi, and I didn't realize it was for us right away.
楽しみにしていたモロキニでしたが、前日も雨であいにくの天気。どんより厚い曇に覆われ、明るく輝く海とはなりませんでした。魚の数は期待したほど多くはありませんでしたが、海亀には遭遇出来ました。シュノーケリング後はフリードリンクでビールも飲めてリゾート気分を味わえました。送迎がタクシーだったのはちょっとビックリで、自分たちの出迎えと直ぐには分かりませんでした。

From December to April, humpback whales come to the Hawaiian Islands, and while I saw them on Oahu, I thought Maui would be a better place to see them up close. I also signed up for the Trilogy, which is a catamaran, so I thought we might be able to see the whales closer to the water's surface. Although the tour was in English, it was fine for us, as we were the only Japanese participants. We were able to see the whales for quite a while, and one came right up to the front of the catamaran, which was very impressive. Additionally, the triangle area between Maui, Molokai, and Lanai is said to be shallow, making it a good spot for nurturing calves. It’s estimated that around 4,000 humpback whales come to the islands each month, so I highly recommend this season for whale watching.
12月から4月の間、ハワイ諸島沖にザトウクジラが来るということで、オアフ島でも見たのですが、マウイ島のほうが近くで見れそうなのとトリロジー号はカタマランなので水面近くでクジラがみられるかも?と思い申し込みをしました。英語のみなのですが、英語の話せない私たちで大丈夫でした。日本人も私たちだけでした。クジラはかなりの間見ることができ、一番近くでカタマランのすぐ前まで来てくれ、迫力満点でした。また、マウイ島、モロカイ島、ラナイ島のトライアングル地帯は地形的に浅いらしいので、子育てにはちょうどいいらしいです。月には4000頭のザトウクジラが来島するらしいので、これからのシーズンはおすすめです。
