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>

Wonderful transparency and a fun lunch cruising!! 素晴らしい透明度と楽しいランチクルージング!!

Reviewed by: Satoru Minegishi

I'm really glad I participated in this cruise! The sea was incredibly beautiful and safe, and the Japanese instructor was fun and lively! With breakfast, a hamburger lunch, and cocktail time, it was a great tour that felt like a good deal the more I participated, especially with my stomach in perfect condition!

本当に参加して良かったクルーズでした! 海は凄く綺麗で安全、日本人のインストラクターの方はノリも良く楽しい! 朝ご飯、ハンバーガーのランチ、そしてカクテルタイム、かなり胃腸が万全な状態で参加すればするほどお得なツアーでしたw

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Best experience of Maui!

Reviewed by: Justin Daniels

My wife and I had never gone snorkeling before, and during our honeymoon, we had planned many activities, but this was the one we weren't sure how it would turn out. We decided to do the snuba diving, and our instructor was amazing. He was laid back and helped encourage us when we were first nervous in the water. After a few minutes, everything got easier, and before we knew it, it was time to come up. We were also able to snorkel at Turtle Town, and got to swim by a sea turtle, and that was a super unique experience. Of all the things we did in Hawaii, this is the one thing that I would be sure to do again when we come back.

The transparency is good, and the staff is good. 透明度も良く、スタッフも良い

Reviewed by: osamu

In overseas option tours, it's often the case that Japanese guides are of a type that young people do not accept, but this one was good. The Japanese staff were great, and the water's clarity was as rumored. However, there were indeed fewer fish, just as expected. I did encounter a large sea turtle!

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

Fun Little Adventure

Reviewed by: Eli

We had a great afternoon snorkel to Coral Gardens. The crew was friendly and the fish were a plenty. Swam with a couple turtles as well. Our 1 year old enjoyed the whole trip as well, especially the glass bottom viewing (although that aspect was not as impressive as it appeared online). Would go on another Four Winds snorkel cruise in a heartbeat!

Reviewed by: Dean

I wish that the people on the phone would have alerted us that the lodge at Koele was closed to have us make a decision if we wanted to go to the island or not. Maybe it was left out of the discussion on purpose.

Warm Aloha,

We are sorry to hear that the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, The Lodge at Koele was unavailable during your visit, and due to the ever changing nature of hotels and activities throughout the islands, we are not always made aware of specific closures. Had we known about this, we would have been more than happy to let you know.

Thank you very much for you choosing HawaiiActivities - VELTRA, and we hope that you were able to enjoy your visit to island of Lanai.

Great time, with a Bonus!

Reviewed by: The Godfrey's

If you are looking for a sit down dinner & white table cloths, go to Lahaina (and pay a lot more). If you want a relaxed cruise, good music, plenty of good food & drinks with a fun crew, check out the Pride of Maui. The open concept encouraged visiting with other people, which was fun. We even had the extra bonus of having three whales swim right next to the boat! A great evening!

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

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Jerry

Advertised as a catamaran, may have been in the truest sense...but not a sail or mast on the boat. Unable to go to Molokini due to high seas(6' swells), took us to a site a mile away from the harbor.

I understand the reasoning for not going to the atoll, however, a chance to get off the ship and get a refund were never offered.

All was not lost, hence the reason for not demanding a refund or a rescheduling, the crew was attentive, polite, and amusing. The relocation for snorkeling was quite nice with some beautiful fish.

Ultimately, I would not book again...sorry.

Felt like I was on a cattle boat. Too many people. Hard time seeing anything. The whole time I was wishing I had researched better and booked on a smaller more intimate boat. Hardly any fish at Molokini then went to rocks south of Wailea and saw much more, but had just been there the day before on our own.

ラナイ島行きフェリーチケット 古代ハワイアンの伝説が残る島へ<片道・往復/マアラエア港発着>

The boat is comfortable. 船は快適

Reviewed by: ruru

The expedition ship was comfortable. The seats on the deck can sway a bit, so I recommend indoor seats on the first floor for those who are prone to seasickness.

I took the first morning trip and was able to see the sunrise, which was lovely. Since I went in February, I also spotted whales jumping in the distance.

Because it was winter, the waves in Full Poi Bay were strong, and I couldn't enjoy snorkeling much, but the lunch at Four Seasons was exquisite, and I spent a lovely time with a great view.

I was looking forward to seeing dolphins, but it seems they had come late the previous evening and didn't show up in the morning. They often appear in the morning and around 4:00 PM.

After getting off the boat, there is a shuttle bus to Lanai City, and I decided to check it out. However, it costs $25 for a round trip, and in the morning, nothing was open, so there was nothing to see. I felt a bit deceived, but there's nothing I can do about it.

It might have been better during the day. If you're going in winter, it might be better to go not on the first morning trip but to stay from around noon to the evening.

エクスペディションの船は快適でした。デッキの席は少し揺れが大きいですので酔いやすい方は一階の室内の席をお勧めします。
私は朝一の便で行きましたが、丁度日の出が見られて素敵でした。2月に行ったので、遠くでクジラも跳ねてました。
冬場だったので、フルポエ湾は波が強くシュノーケリングもあまり楽しめなかったのですが、フォーシーズンズのランチは絶品で、いい景色の中優雅な時間を過ごしました。
楽しみにしていたイルカも前日の夕方遅くに来ていたみたいで、午前中には来ませんでした。朝と16:00頃に来ることが多いそうです。
船を降りたらラナイシティにいくシャトルバスがあるのですが、なんとなく行ってみてしまったのですが一人往復$25もする上に、朝はどこも開いておらず何も見るものがありませんでした。騙された気分ですがしょうがありません。
昼間だったらもう少しよかったかも。
冬場に行くなら朝一の便じゃなくて、昼ぐらいから夕方までいるのがいいかもしれませんね。

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Not the best snorkeling ever, but tour was fun

Reviewed by: Jesper

Molokini is not as stunning a snorkel spot as some say: there's only a select variety of fish and there's no impressive coral reef. The water is very clear though. But there are definitely much better snorkeling options elsewhere to be found.
We had a muddy water day for Turtle Town sadly, but I got to see a turtle nonetheless, which was nice.
The tour organisation was class though, well-spirited. Breakfast was decent, lunch was very good. And there were a lot of whales to be seen! I must say that even with Molokini not completely living up to its reputation I had a good fun day. Time well-spent.

Where is the coupon? クーポンは?

Reviewed by: ほーさん

I purchased in advance despite the lack of discounts because I was supposed to receive a souvenir coupon and a ceramic mug coupon. However, I found out that I needed to spend over $35 on souvenirs to qualify.

There was a priority entrance lane for advance purchasers at the entrance, but it wasn't functioning, and the list verification took a long time. I don't think there are any benefits to purchasing in advance.

 記念品クーポン・セラミックマグクーポンを貰えるようので、ディスカウントがないにもかかわらず事前購入しましたが、土産物を35ドル以上買わないと対象外とのこと。
 入口の掲示には事前購入者の優先入場レーンがありましたが機能しておらず、むしろリスト照合で時間がかかるので、事前購入するメリットはないと思います。

If you go to Maui, definitely do it again! マウイ島に行ったらまた是非‼︎

Reviewed by: KATO's family

The sunrise tour on Maui was great, but honestly, there wasn't much else to do, and since there were no Japanese people around and my English isn't very good, I thought I probably wouldn't come back. I joined this tour on a whim the day before... I even booked it in the evening local time and printed out the voucher at the hotel. However, I was able to have various conversations with the guide, who was very considerate, and most importantly, I got to see sea turtles and many fish right in front of me, and I spotted whales multiple times during the trip... It was moving. And the lunch was delicious too.

マウイ島はサンライズツアーして良かったけどそれ以外に何もないし日本人が全く居なくて英語が得意じゃないからもぅ、来ることも無いかなぁ〜って正直思っていたし、このツアーに参加したのもダメ元で前日に…しかも現地時間夕方に申し込みホテルでバウチャーのプリントアウトした程でした……が、ガイドさんとは色んな話ができたし細やかな配慮して頂いたし何よりも海亀や沢山の魚が凄い目の前で見れて移動中に何度も何度も鯨が見れました……感動的です。そしてランチも美味しかった

Pride of Maui Luau Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar & Polynesian Show

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: adhermes

I spent a few hours researching activities to do during our honeymoon to Maui. We decided that due to the exorbitant cost of drinks in any resort or restaurant we decided that an open bar cruise was going to be a great and cost effective experience.

I wasn't disappointed! The cruise was absolutely awesome. We saw at least 25 whales throughout the course of the evening which was fantastic.

The drinks were top notch as well. They had a huge number different top shelf liquors and made great drinks all night.

The crew was fantastic. They went over the top to take care of everybody's needs and made sure everyone was having a great time. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone that wants to see gorgeous views, enjoy great drinks, and have an awesome crew.

wonderful post-engagement celebration!

Reviewed by: Mike and Margot

We booked this cruise as a celebration for our engagement, and could not have been more pleased with the experience. The boat left a little later than posted, closer to 5:15, but it was good that they told us to arrive at 4:45 so we were not late, and others didnt slow us down. The crew welcomed us, gave us a run down on emergency procedures and rules, and we set sail! It was gorgeous out on the water. Jason, our captain, kept everyone informed and excited about the whales around us. We really appreciated that. They gave us a shout out over the PA for our engagement, and everyone toasted to our happiness. The crew, bartenders, captain and staff all made us feel special. The food was delicious, especially the shrimp and the artichoke dip. Full open bar (no champagne, but great wine and booze selection) and cheese platters, fruit, dessert. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Motion sickness medication and a wetsuit are essential. 酔い止めとウエットスーツは必須

Reviewed by: ちょっぷ

We participated as a couple on November 20, 2014. There were only one other Japanese couple besides us, but the Japanese staff member Takako was very attentive. She provided careful assistance with everything from the boarding process, snorkeling gear rental, diving into the sea, to the meals. The water clarity was amazing, and you could easily see the seabed. There weren't many fish, but I think it was sufficient for those who haven't experienced scuba diving. We were also able to see sea turtles. At Black Rock, we could only see "floating" turtles, but here we saw "swimming" turtles. The meal was delicious hamburgers, and beer and Mai Tais were all-you-can-drink. On the way back, we also enjoyed some cookies. It was a wonderful tour, so I highly recommend it to those who haven't experienced it yet.

For those participating in the tour, I think it's important to keep the following points in mind. It's better to have motion sickness medication. Both my spouse and I got seasick... I underestimated it because there weren't many mentions of seasickness in other reviews. Next, it's better to bring or rent a wetsuit. Honestly, the sea is cold. Having a wetsuit makes it much warmer. You can borrow goggles and fins when you receive them (I think it was $10), so it's okay if you don't bring your own. Also, I think there are some jellyfish (we both got stung), so it could serve as protection.

Regarding transportation, it was fine. I felt that many other tours had local meet-ups, but this tour provided proper pick-up (we stayed at the Westin). The other participants were a couple from America and France.

Finally, my experience: the foreign participants were very kind, and I had a lot of fun with them, for which I am very grateful. They helped me with translation when boarding (from difficult long English sentences to short broken English). They also took care of me when I got seasick... I don't think you can have such experiences on a tour with only Japanese participants. If you're coming to Maui, I think such experiences are great.

2014/11/20に夫婦で参加しました。
日本人は私たちともう一組しかいませんでしたが、日本人スタッフのタカコさんが大変気を配って下さいました。
船の乗船手続き、シュノーケルセットの貸し出し、海へのダイブ、食事まで、全てに丁寧な対応をしてくれました。
海の透明度は素晴らしく、楽勝で海底が見えます。
魚はそれほど多くはいませんでしたが、スキューバ体験していない方にとっては十分だと思います。
ウミガメも見ることができました。
ブラックロックでは「浮いている」亀しか見ることができませんでしたが、ここでは「泳いでいる」亀を見ることができました。
食事もおいしいハンバーガーで、ビールとマイタイは飲み放題でした。
帰り道ではクッキーのつまみも頂きました。
素晴らしいツアーですので、未体験の方にはぜひおすすめです。

これからツアーに参加する方は以下の点に注意した方がいいと思います。
酔い止めの薬はあった方が良いと思います。夫婦で船酔いになりました・・・。
他の方の書き込みであまり船酔いについて書いてなかったのでナメでました。
次に、ウエットスーツは持参かレンタルした方が良いです。
正直、海が冷たいです。ウエットスーツがあるとかなり暖かくなるので。
ゴーグル、フィンを支給されるときに一緒に借りれるので(10ドルだったかな)持参していなくても大丈夫です。
またクラゲが多少いると思いますので(夫婦で刺されました)防護服代わりにもなるかと思います。
送迎についてですが、大丈夫です。

Pride of Maui Luau Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar & Polynesian Show

Pride of Maui dinner cruise

Reviewed by: TMS

Aloha, we (my boyfriend and I) are residents of Maui and attended the pride of Maui dinner/cocktail cruise for my pre birthday celebration this past Saturday. It was quite enjoyable despite the larger swells as we headed out along the coast. The food was fantastic, the crew was friendly and the bar was all you can drink so we were content. We enjoyed the experience for the deal that we were able to receive but I beleive if we had to pay full price we wouldn't have enjoyed it as much and would hope to expect more out of the experience. No one can help the weather or the ocean conditions but it felt like we were on a snorkeling boat standing up or sitting with no table eating dinner so it was a little steep in my opinion.

I recommend a well-equipped tour. 設備の整ったツアーでお勧め

Reviewed by: ぴーす

The tour is mainly in English with many non-Japanese participants, but staff member Takako provides explanations in Japanese, which is reassuring. Breakfast is light with cakes, sweet bread, and fruits, but there are plenty of drinks available, and lunch seemed delicious (I couldn't eat due to seasickness!). You can choose one item from several options like hamburgers and hot dogs. Drinks like cola and beer are plentiful. There are separate restrooms for men and women. There are also three types of floatation devices, which is comforting. The boat is fairly large, but three Japanese participants turned green from seasickness, so it might be a good idea to take medication beforehand. Overall, it was very good, but one downside was that the docking location was at the far end on the left side of the harbor, and there was no explanation, so I had to search around. During busy times, the parking lot is at the aquarium above the harbor. In December, the weather seems to be bad, and we couldn't go to Molokini due to strong winds, so we went to a different spot, but everyone seemed to have a good time.

日本人以外が多く、英語が主のツアーですが、スタッフのタカコさんが日本語で丁寧に説明してくれるので安心です。朝食はケーキや甘いパンとフルーツで軽くですが、飲物は十分出してくれますし、ランチは美味しかったようです。(私は船酔いで食べられず!)
ハンバーガー、ホットドック等、数種類から1つ選びます。飲物はコーラ、ビール等十分にもらえます。トイレは男女別に1つづつあり。浮具も3種類あり、安心です。まずまず大きい舟ですが、日本人は3人船酔いで青い顔になりましたので、薬飲んで行ったほうがいいかも。とても良かったのですが、1つ難点としては、舟の停泊場所がハーバーの左手一番奥で、説明がなかったので探し回りました。混み合う時は駐車場はハーバーの上にある水族館のところを使います。12月は天気が悪いようで、モロキニは強風で行けず、別のポイントとなりましたが、みなさん楽しそうでした。

Be cautious as it is affected by the weather. 天候に左右されるので要注意

Reviewed by: 千とルイスの神探し

We participated on a boat that can accommodate over 100 people, mixed with American and other foreign tourists, with only six Japanese participants including us. The person in charge was a Japanese staff member named Takako.

Since my husband and I live in the United States, we had no issues communicating with the American guests, but the attentiveness and thoughtfulness of the Japanese staff are exceptional. Once again, Takako's "attention to detail" service and advice were very helpful. However, since the Japanese staff also care for other guests, they cannot be with you the entire time.

As the only one in the group who was delayed due to the snuba experience, Takako personally took me to the location of the sea turtles, and I was able to see several of them.

The snuba experience lasted only 30 minutes, and I was paired with a woman from a Korean group who had an extra spot. Because of this, I felt that the experience was not worth the price for just 30 minutes. My husband was also supposed to participate, but although he has fully recovered from a past lung surgery, he was told it was "not allowed without a doctor's note," so he had to give up. I was dissatisfied that there was no prior information provided, as we could have made arrangements if we had known in advance.

Aside from that, we did see whales swimming alongside the boat. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Molokini due to high waves, and we ended up snorkeling at a different location. It couldn't be helped, but there were few fish, and the water wasn't very clear.

It was good to have Takako with us, but other than that, it may have been below expectations.

100人以上乗船できる船で米人とその他外国人観光客に混ざって参加、そのうち日本人参加者は私たちを含め6人のみ。その担当をしてくれたのが日本人スタッフのタカコさんです。
私たち夫婦は米国在住なので言語的には米人対応でも問題ないのですが、日本人スタッフの気遣い、心配りは最高だからです。今回もタカコさんの「かゆいところに手が届く」サービスやアドバイスは役に立ちました。ですが、日本人スタッフも他のゲストのケアもするのでつきっきりではないです。
グループでただ一人、スヌーバ体験をして出遅れた私をタカコさんが個人的にウミガメの場所まで連れて行って下さり、何匹も見ることができました。
スヌーバ体験はたったの30分で2人1組で韓国人グループで参加していて一人余っていた女性と組になり、その人たちと一緒に行動しなければならなかったこともあり、30分だけの体験だけの料金としてはそれに見合う価値がないように感じました。実は夫も参加予定だったのですが完治しているものの昔肺を手術したことがあり、「医者の診断書なしでは不可」と言われ断念。前もって言ってくれればそれなりに対応できたのに前もっての情報提供がなかったことが不服でした。
それ以外は、ボートに並行して泳いでいた鯨もしっかり見ました。
残念だったのは、波が高いということでMolokiniには行けず、別のロケーションでのシュノーケリングになったことです。しょうがないけど、魚も少なく、水もあまりきれいではありませんでした。
タカコさんがいてくれたからよかったけど、それ以外は期待以下だったかも。

Molokini Island snorkeling? モロキニ島シュノーケル?

Reviewed by: little

On November 30, 2014, I participated in a snorkeling cruise to Molokini Island. It was very windy and extremely cold that day. On the way to Molokini Island, we were informed that due to the strong winds, we wouldn't be able to go there. What a disappointment.

On the way to the first snorkeling point, I spotted a sea turtle and got really excited thinking, "There’s a turtle!" We arrived at the first snorkeling point and started snorkeling, but as soon as I got into the water, I became hyperventilated and had to come back up. I’ve done snorkeling many times before, and this was the first time I experienced something like this (tears). The staff helped me back onto the boat. A Japanese staff member mentioned that I might have been too exposed to the wind. After resting a bit, I decided to give it another try. This time, I was okay. While enjoying snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle in the distance. It was far away, but I was glad to see it. Just then, a sea turtle swam very close to me… I was truly moved by how close it was.

Seeing the sea turtle swim gracefully so near brought me to tears. My husband took pictures of the sea turtle nearby. Before heading to the second point, we had lunch on the boat. We put buns, vegetables, and fruits on our plates, and finally added a pâté topped with cheese. It was really delicious, perhaps because we were eating it on the sea. When we arrived at the second snorkeling point and started snorkeling, both my husband and I found it too cold to continue.

Although we couldn't go to Molokini Island, I had a wonderful experience swimming with the sea turtles. Thank you to all the staff!

2014/11/30 モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズに参加しました。
この日はとても風が強くてスゴく寒かった。
モロキニ島に向かう途中、あまりの風の強さに
今日はモロキニ島には行けないとの事。残念。
1箇所目のシュノーケルポイント向かう途中海ガメの姿発見。かめさんいる~と思いテンションが上がりました。1箇所目のポイント到着してシュノーケル開始。海に入るなり過呼吸状態になってしまい、海から上がりました。今まで何度もシュノーケルはやっているし、こんな状態になったのは初めて(涙)
スタッフ方に助けられて船にもどりました。
日本人スタッフの方に風に当たりすぎたのかもねぇ~と言われました。少し休んでからもう一度挑戦。今度は大丈夫。シュノーケルを楽しんでいると、遠くに海ガメ発見ッッ 遠かったけど見れて良かったぁ。と思っていたら、今度はすごく近くを泳ぐ海ガメが…本当に近くて感動しました。
優雅に泳ぐ海ガメをこんなに近くで見れて涙が出てきました。
主人が近くで海ガメの写真を撮ってくれました。
2箇所目のポイントに行く前に、船上でランチ。
バンズ、野菜、フルーツ、自分の好きな物をお皿にのせて、最後にチーズがのったパテをのせてもらいました。海の上で食べるからなのかとても美味しかった。2箇所目のポイントに到着してシュノーケル開始でしたが、私も主人も寒すぎてこちらではシュノーケル出来ずでした。
モロキニ島には行けませんでしたが、海ガメと一緒に泳ぐ事が出来て、素晴らしい体験が出来ました。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。

Pride of Maui Luau Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar & Polynesian Show

Sunset Cruise time

Reviewed by: DennyM

This is our second time on this cruise - and a lot of fun. From the time you step on the boat, and until the time you leave, you are assured of a good time. The bartenders are great with premium drinks served, and the food buffet was spectacular. The entertainment was ongoing through the complete evening, and the staff were excellent.

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Absolutely Magical!

Reviewed by: Letitia

What an experience. Little island in middle of ocean. I never imagined that I would be snorkeling in the middle of the ocean and actually enjoying it. Loved every minute of it. My 11 year old did not want to leave. Bring your video cameras as well or rent them. We brought back the experience to enjoy all the time.

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Wonderful snorkeling experience

Reviewed by: Sagar Magdum

Molokini snorkel delux cruise was an awesome experience for me and my family. Unfortunately bad weather didn't allow us to go to molokini island but they took us other snorkeling spot which was beautiful. All the crew members were very helpful & caring. It was nice to see that every crew member was making sure everyone is safe and enjoying . Food & drinks were just awesome . Me and my family are vegetarian and most of the places we get very little or less options. But on this cruise we could enjoy lot of food like vege burgers ,pasta ,salad & juices. Overall very efficient service . I must recommend this cruise .
