Maui
The Highlight of our Maui vacation, The crew was outstanding which made it even more fun our lunch was delicious ,I definitely will do it again.
From the minute we booked this trip the communication was excellent. We knew exactly where to meet the crew and captain for this excursion. They explained everything about our day so we knew we were gonna have a great trip. The food was wonderful, the snorkeling beautiful, the lunch was delicious and we even got to watch the sales be lifted. We got to sail home and it was so relaxing.
Follow everything that is laid out for you in their communications and you’ll have a great trip.
We participated as a couple in our 60s. We were the only Japanese participants among many others, from small children to elderly people, and it was an incredibly fun and fulfilling tour packed with activities according to the schedule.
As soon as we boarded, breakfast was served on the ship, followed by cruising, snorkeling around Molokini Island, more cruising, lunch, and snorkeling around Kihei. It felt like a full day tour, and we were able to see fish and turtles, making it an unforgettable experience.
Additionally, as many others have shared in their testimonials, we were deeply moved by the kind and attentive service from the Japanese staff, Takako and Kana. Their consideration for us as Japanese participants, as well as for the other participants, was outstanding, making it a very pleasant and enjoyable tour. Thank you so much for this truly wonderful experience!
60才夫婦で参加しました。日本人は私達のみで小さいお子さんからご年配の方までたくさんの参加者で、スケジュール通り盛りだくさんの内容でとっても楽しい最高のツアーでした。
乗船してすぐ船内に朝食があり、クルージング、モロキニ島周辺シュノーケリング、クルージング、ランチ、キヘイ周辺シュノーケリング、お魚も亀も見れた、5時間とは思えない満喫した1日ツアーのようでした。
また、他の方の体験談にもたくさんありますが、日本人スタッフのタカコさんとカナさんの心優しい細やかなアテンドに感動しました。日本人の私達へのお気遣いはもちろん、その他の参加者への気配りも素晴らしく、気持ちの良いとっても楽しいツアーでした。
本当に楽しい体験をどうもありがとうございました！
The meeting place for parking is at a nearby paid parking lot, with smartphone payment available. I recommend bringing a large bath towel and something to wear over your swimsuit. Since the rash guard
集合場所車停めは近くの有料駐車場スマホ支払いで13時半にして、大判バスタオルと羽織る物を持ち、ラッシュガード水着は体が冷えてしまったため、船内でウェットスーツレンタル(10ドル)が絶対にお勧めです。

Clearest waters! Wonderful experience and wonderful crew.
The tour was well organized and we enjoyed very much
Great time had by entire family! It was a blast!!!
Mahalo for the feedback! We hope we get the chance to see you again!
This was our first time snorkeling and the crew was so helpful! So many beautiful fish and turtles! We will definitely do this again next year!
Don’t forget your reef safe sunscreen!
We boarded the Trilogy catamaran and saw humpback whales, ate a breakfast snack on way over to Lanai. We snorkeled and went on a nature hike. Later on we had a great lunch break at the pavilion at the small boat harbor. Our captain and crew served us very well throughout the trip. On sail back to Maui we had adult beverages and ice cream. It was first class and recommended trip for everyone
Take this trip if you want to experience lanai
Quick and easy to fill your afternoon and then head to a sunset dinner! We got tons of great sightings and the crew kept us safe
It was a bit of a long day on the water, but we loved it all around, the crew was very knowledgeable!
We got to make it to Molokini and the snorkel was great that day, lots of ocean life, clear conditions, all around a wonderful day!
We had a great time snorkeling at the Molokini Crater. The staff was all really friendly and helpful. The boat was perfect for young kids and they loved the snorkel boards that the boat provided. The food was delicious and the slide and glass bottom portion provided lots of entertainment when we were done snorkeling. We saw whales on the way out and turtles on the way back. We'd definitely use this company again!
Mahalo for choosing the Four Winds III!
My family had a great time, it is early in the morning so just make sure to have your muscles read nice and early!
the snorkeling was incredible and the crew was fantastic!! would recommend them 1000% and take the tour every trip to maui. thank you
was great
My then girlfriend (and very soon to be wife) and I took this day trip for the first time in 1985. On this outing in 2025 we marked our 40th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful then and still is a wonderful way to spend a day in paradise. The crew was amazing. Between their stories about the sea life and history of the islands and the family run business, their humor and incredibly attentive and diligent work ethic, they truly make you feel special!
If you can only choose one activity to partake in while on Maui, this is it!
We had an amazing time on the boat. The food was delicious, the crew was amazing, and we saw whales. We were traveling with a 4 and 6 year old and they had all the perfect amenities for kids. 10/10!
Thank you for the 5-star review!
wonderful crew and our family had a great day getting to snorkel with just our family!
Really wonderful views in the water at Molokini! A must see when on Maui :)
We felt like it was a bit less trafficked in the afternoon compared with our last visit 5 years back! We loved it
Mahalo for joining us again!
The cruise was amazing. The crew was very friendly & their service was topnotch. We had nice breakfast & the food was being served time to time. Me being a vegetarian, I was very happy that they also had some veg/vegan options upon request. We had decent amount of time for snorkeling in both the spots (Molokini crater & turtle town) & saw see lots of colorful fish & corals. On our way back we also got to some whales which was the best part for me. We really enjoyed our cruise, it was super fun.
I thought it would be a light meal, but they served a hearty breakfast. In the morning, there were scrambled eggs, sausage, Danish pastries, muffins, and fresh fruit. It was great to have four types of juice, as well as coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. After breakfast, only coffee is available as a hot drink.
The visibility at Molokini was better. Turtle Town was murky, but there were turtles.
You might also see whales along the way. If you're confident you won't get seasick, it might be nice to watch from the upper deck. (It gets really bumpy the higher you go.) For those worried about seasickness, I recommend sitting near a window on the lower deck.
On the way back, they also serve alcohol, so if you still have energy and aren't driving, it might be okay to drink.
軽食かと思いきやしっかりご飯出ました。
朝はスクランブルエッグ、ソーセージ、デニッシュ、マフィンにフレッシュフルーツ。ドリンクもジュースが4種類にコーヒー、紅茶、ココアなど温かい飲み物があって良かった。朝食後は温かい飲み物はコーヒーだけになります。
（乗船までの待ち時間、船上が寒い、特に海から上がった後）
モロキニの方が透明度高かったです。
タートルタウンは濁ってましたが、カメは居ました。
クジラも途中で見えたりします。
酔わない自信がある人は上のデッキで見てると良いかも。
（上に行くほどめちゃくちゃ揺れます）
船酔い心配な人は、下の階で窓の近くに席を取っておく事をお勧めします。
帰りはアルコールの提供もあるので、元気が残っていて、車の運転なければ飲んでもいいかもです。
Depending on the sea conditions, it can get quite rocky, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication. Especially if you want to enjoy the view from the upper deck, it's definitely a good
海の状況によっては結構揺れるので、酔い止め飲んだ方がいいと思います。
特に上のデッキで海見ながら行きたければ飲んだ方が確実に良いはず。
飲み物も食べ物もしっかり用意されてるので、持っていく必要無し。

I participated in the afternoon session. After about an hour on the boat, we arrived. When I went into the sea, I saw beautiful tropical fish. After coming back from the sea, we were given hot dogs, which were delicious. Shortly after the meal, a whale appeared, and it was impressive to see two of them jumping one after the other. I took a lot of photos, and it was the best experience.
午後の部に参加しました。船に乗って１時間ほどで到着。海に潜ると、きれいな熱帯魚が見れました。海から上がって帰路に着くと、ホットドックが配られ美味しくいただきました。食後、間もなく、クジラが現れ、二頭が相次いで跳び跳ねる姿が印象的でした。写真もいっぱい撮っていただき、最高でした。
Don't forget your towel. The meeting place is a bit hard to find, so I recommend arriving early.
タオルを忘れずに、集合場所が少し分かりにくいので、早目に行くことをおすすめします。

We recently hired Aloha Blue Charters for a private charter in Maui for our family. This was a special trip to honor and carry out the final wishes of my parents. Captain Larry and First Mate Freddy brought us near their favorite area in Kihei and were very helpful and caring during our ceremony. It was a wonderful and memorable time for our family. Thank you Captain Larry and Freddy!
Booking was a smooth and efficient process, with excellent response time.
Friendly crew, knowledgeable, patient, clear instructions. Clean boat, good food. Organized.
Mahalo for the 5-star review!
We had a fully handicap person with us and the crew was great. They lifted her, in her electric wheelchair, onto the boat. She had room to move around the boat with ease. The bathrooms were not accessible but that was ok. The crew kept checking on her and made sure she was comfortable. It was a good experience, something that she wouldn't normally have been able to do. We were able to snorkel (not her), and didn't have to worry about her not being comfortable. We did not see any turtles, but got to see a small whale.
I would recommend this excursion.
We are so happy to hear you had a great time on the Four Winds! Mahalo for your review.
Despite everything saying advanced swimmer only, I was with two people who could not swim. Both of them required rescue by the guide. I spent the majority of the time bobbing in the water by the beach - waiting for them to get swim lessons. There are many rocks there and I ended up breaking my toe while getting slammed by waves. I was able to scooter around the cove twice even with a throbbing toe. I’m sure the guide could feel that I was irritated and I wanted the experience to end ASAP. The reason for the bad review is that no one even followed up or offered me some money back. Take home point: I would not spend my hard earned vacation money on this again.
*** Refund was issued after Veltra/Hawaii Activities reached out. This was very nice of the owner, but it doesn't change my experience and I did not edit my original review.
You will be starting at the owner’s private residence - this may be awkward for some.
My total cost for this excursion was $242.30. It was not worth that price. The crew was sarcastic and snappy. They did lighten up as the morning went on, but my first impression stayed. Fortunately I’m a seasoned swimmer and snorkeling/snuba is easy, so I didn’t require any assistance. Lastly, it’s a big money grab without much service in return. I understand they are a business, but I cannot understand why they can’t pay their employees? Why do they guilt trip you into having to tip every chance they get? Even the emails leading up to it state the expected gratuity. TL:DR Molokini crater is amazing - you should go! Unless you’re dying to try snuba, then go with a different company and have fun.
Excellent service and experience! 100% recommended
My husband and I had such a wonderful time on this trip. The crew was wonderful, helpful, generous and informative. Snorkeling at Molokini is an experience everyone who snorkels should experience. The water is so clear you see every little crevice, coral, creatures and color of every fish is AMAZING!!!! Also returning to snorkel at turtle town and then breaking out the sails on the catamaran just added to an already unforgettable experience. Go on this trip and experience a very special Maui area. Share this with your family - It will be something special you did together forever.
Everyone should consider going on this trip. It's a lovely trip on a large boat with a crew and captain who really love what they do and love Maui and everything there is there. Maui is magical and having the opportunity to share it with people who truly care about it is such a fantastic experience. Do it!! You will not regret it :)
