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。

It was a great experience and something that I always wanted to do. I want to thank Jennifer for being very patient and walking me through the skills that I needed as a beginner. Her experience as a diver really comes through and it was a pleasure to dive with her. I would highly recommend. Thank you!

On Christmas, December 25th, I participated with my family of five. We were blessed with good weather, and it was comfortable without any wind. However, as someone who gets cold easily, I spent the time bundled up in my UNIQLO Ultra Down jacket, along with the warm gear provided and a lap blanket. (I noticed someone brought a knit hat, and I thought I should bring one next time!)

The vast land,
As the sun sets,
Stars, stars, stars.

Every moment was a luxurious experience!

The timing for the photo shoot was perfect.

Talking while gazing at the starry sky was moving.

Delicious bento,

Warm tea,
(I brought some snacks, and for some reason, my usual snacks tasted several times better, haha.)

It was reassuring to have a restroom nearby.

I read reviews to choose this tour, and one mentioned, "The guide, Mr. Yamauchi, maximized its charm."

That was absolutely true! Mr. Yamauchi's thoughtfulness multiplied the emotions we felt. Having such a wonderful guide made it a memorable experience for a lifetime. I believe the scenery and stories left a lasting impression on the children as well!

I also want to say,

For those who are hesitant about going, you absolutely should!

If I have the chance to visit Maui again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi!

12/25 クリスマスに家族5人で参加させていただきました。
お天気に恵まれ、風もなく、過ごしやすいとのことでしたが、
寒がりの私は持参したUNIQLOのウルトラダウンと用意していただいた防寒具と膝掛けで過ごしました。(ニット帽を持って来ていた方がいて、次回は持って行こうと思いました！)

どれをとっても、贅沢な時間でした！


絶妙なタイミングでの写真撮影。

星空をみながらのお話も感動。

美味しいお弁当、

あったかいお茶、

すぐそばにトイレもあり安心でした。


ツアー選びの参考に口コミを読んでこのツアーに参加しましたが、

"その魅力を最大限に発揮させてくれたのがガイドの山内さん"との口コミがあります。

まさに、その通り！
山内さんの心配りが感動を何倍にもしてくれました。
素晴らしーいガイドさんに最高のツアーを案内してもらえて一生の思い出になりました。
子供達の心にも景色やお話がやきつけられたと思います！

私も申し上げます、

行くか迷われている方は絶対行った方がいい
です！


私もマウイ島にまた行くことがあれば、是非参加したいと思っています。
山内さん、ありがとうございました！

The weather was nice, and the waves were calm, which felt great. I was very excited to see a whale for the first time. I heard that if it were a little later in the season, we could see even more. I requested a Japanese guide, and I was very pleased with the service. If it were only in English, the experience might have been only half as impactful. The guide was wonderful and also provided explanations about Maui, for which I am grateful. Please send my regards to the guide, T. I would highly recommend this experience.

天気がよく、波も静かで気持ちよかったです。初めてクジラを見れて大変感激しました。時期がもう少し後ならもっと見られるそうです。今回日本人のガイドさんをリクエストし対応して頂き大変よかったです。英語だけなら感動も半分くらいかもです。ガイドさんはすばらしい方でホエールウオィチング以外にもマウイの説明をして頂き感謝です。ガイドのTさんに宜しくお伝えください。はかにもおすすめしたいです。

Captain is so experienced, we found whales right after departing from the harbo. Nice crew and we enjoyed a lot. Must come during whale watching season in Maui. And remember bring sunglasses, hat, and light jacket.

Beautiful views, fun little tour and learned a lot We had no clue about. Make sure you do the tasting also.

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。

We live on Maui but decided to venture out to Lanai. This little ferry was great! I was able to book trip for 5 people fast online and confirm it within 15 minutes just one day ahead.
Weather was great and ride was smooth to Lanai. We even managed to see wails. On island we decided to stay longer and I was able to move our tickets to last ferry without any problems (there is a phone number on the tickets, they do pick up the phone fast). Ride back was in the dark but it still was fun, we got to see amazing starry sky!

We had such a great time snorkeling!! The secondary location was full of sea life and it gave more time to watch for whales. Great trip and we’d definitely go again.

I had only experienced horseback riding about three times at a ranch and had never ridden alone, but it was absolutely no problem. After receiving a brief explanation in English, they selected horses based on each person's body type, height, and skill level, and we started riding without any practice. We waited on the horses until everyone was done riding (laughs).

Once we passed through the mountain path, the ocean spread out before us, and the view was breathtaking! The horses were well-trained, listened to commands, and were adorable. We gave a $10 tip for the two of us! Thank you for a truly valuable and wonderful experience!

乗馬は3回程度牧場で経験したのみで、1人で乗った事もないレベルでしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。
軽く英語で説明を受けた後、1人1人の体型や身長やレベルを見て、馬を選んでいただいて、練習も何もないまま急に乗馬開始で、全員乗り終わるまで乗ったまま待機していました（笑）
山道を抜けると、海が広がり絶景でした！
馬はしつけられていて、言う事も聞いてくれて可愛かったです。
チップは2人で$10渡しました！
本当に貴重で素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました！

We saw dolphins and whales! The snorkeling was great and the crew was wonderful!!

The tour started at 3 am. First stop was in a store where we were supposed to buy water and chewing gum to make the way up the mountain easier. The bus was new and confortable. We arrived at the top of the Haleakala around 5:30 am and stayed freezing outside the bus until 6:40 am, for the sunrise. It was cold and windy, around 0°C... Other companies provided blankets and jackets to their customers. Ours didn’t. The view was fantastic even in that cloudy morning. It’s worth waking up that early! After the sunrise, we started our way down, with two great stops to see the view. Breakfast was served in front of golf course around 9:30 am. We arrived at the hotel at 10:45 am.

This is my second time visiting since the year before last, and this year I was able to see whale jumps twice. It was truly spectacular. On top of that, I encountered a pod of dolphins, and they showed us several spin jumps.

一昨年に続いて2回目になりますが、今年はクジラのジャンプを2度見ることができました。それはもう豪快でした。おまけに、イルカの群にも会い、スピンジャンプを何度か見せてくれました。

Saw a ton of whales. The ride was smooth. My kids all really enjoyed themselves.

For sunrise viewing, there is a standby time of 30 minutes to 1 hour until the sun rises, so during that time, you can also enjoy the beautiful stars, which is a great bonus!

日の出鑑賞の場合、日が出るまで30分~1時間のスタンバイ時間があるため、その間にきれいな星たちも同時に鑑賞できるのでお得です！

It was very good. We were blessed with great weather, and thanks to the guide's attentive service, we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend sightseeing in Maui.

大変良かったです。お天気に恵まれ、またガイドさんのきめ細かいサービスで素晴らしい体験ができました。マウイ島観光のおすすめです。

The day I went, it was very windy, and due to the weather, I couldn't go to Molokini Island. However, I enjoyed snorkeling in the waters around Maui and participated in activities like whale watching. I was very satisfied because they were very flexible in accommodating my plans.

私の行った日は風が強く、天候の都合上モロキニ島に行くことができませんでしたが、代わりにマウイ島周辺部の海でシュノーケルを楽しみ、ホエールウォッチングなどのアクティビティを行い、非常に柔軟に対応していただいたためとても満足度が高かったです。

Had a great time! Awesome crew. Great music and cocktails. And saw whales! Great experience and would definitively recommend Sea Maui!

If you're going horseback riding in Hawaii, go to Mendes! It's just "refreshing" to feel the wind from the Pacific while surrounded by nature! No problem at all if you don't speak English!

ハワイで乗馬するならメンデスです！ 大自然の中で太平洋からの風を受けながら、兎に角 「爽快」そのものです！ 英語通じなくても全く問題ないですヨ！

I'm regretting that I got sick from seasickness, but thanks to Kana's full support, I was able to swim with the sea turtles. I'm glad I pushed myself to come to Maui!

船酔いで体調を崩したのが悔やまれますが、カナさんのフルサポートでウミガメとも遊泳出来ました。
無理してマウイ島に来て良かったです！

I love watching sunrises and have seen them all over the world, but the sunrise in the Sahara Desert has become my number one! I highly recommend it.

日の出鑑賞が大好きで世界中の日の出を観賞しましたが私史上、サハラ砂漠を超えて世界一になりました！おススメです。

I participated with my daughter. We decided to join because there was live music, and the authentic hula show was also very good. There were no Japanese crew members. I’m not good at English, but it was not a problem at all. It was a very windy day, so I felt like I might be blown away while watching the show, and it was quite cold. I think it would have been even better if the wind had been weaker.

娘と参加しました。生演奏ありということで参加を決めましたが、本格的なフラのショーもあったのでそちらもとても良かったです。日本人の乗務員はいませんでした。英語が苦手ですが全然問題ないです。風が大変強い日でしたのでショーを見ているときはすっ飛ばされそうでかなり寒かったです。風が弱ければ更に良かったと思います。

Great experience!! Would recommend the Expeditions to my friends and family. Friendly and great customer service!

I've been to Molokini about 20 times, and this was the most fun!

Our Japanese guide, Kana, was wonderful! She took my husband, who was swimming for the first time, to Turtle Point and shared a lot of information about Maui! I enjoyed not only the snorkeling time but also the time we spent chatting (*^^*).

In winter, the water temperature at Molokini is a bit lower than in summer, and I felt there were fewer types of fish, but the clarity was outstanding and truly impressive! I was able to see several large sea turtles up close, which was a rare experience ( ; ; )♡

I definitely want to come back with my family! Thank you so much! ♪

モロキニには20回くらい行っているのですが、1番楽しかったです！

日本語ガイドのカナさんが素晴らしいです！
初モロキニかつ泳げない主人をタートルポイントまで連れて行って下さったり、マウイ島についても色々教えて下さりました！
シュノーケルの時間はもちろん、お話させて頂いた時間も楽しかったです(*^^*)

冬のモロキニは夏よりも少々海水温が低く、魚の種類が少なく感じましたが、透明度抜群で感動しました！
大きいウミガメが何匹も間近で見られて、貴重な体験でした（ ; ; ）♡

また家族と伺いたいと思います！
本当にありがとうございました♪

Larry was great! Very informative and entertaining. Long day but worth it for the beautiful views. Bus was full so a little crowded but everyone on trip was very accommodating.

We have visited Maui for many years. We have always said we need to do a day trip to one of the lesser visited islands. So we chose Lanai. The tour package was inclusive, so all we had to do was show up. The ferry ride was quite nice. Your your guide was very informative about the history of Lanai. It was nice to see the island that was not over developed. Who knows how long it can stay that way, but we really enjoyed it. As the guide mentioned there is not much to do on Lanai, so the half day tour worked out well for us. Never the less we enjoyed our trip.

It was my second summit tour. The first time, a short-sleeve shirt was fine, but this time it was really cold with strong winds! (laughs) I think the first time had more emotional impact... The second time felt less moving. But! It was beautiful no matter how many times I saw it!

2回目の山頂ツアーでした。
1回目は半そでで大丈夫だったけど・・・
今回は風が強くめっちゃ寒かった！(笑)
1回目の方が感動がプラスされていたかと・・・
2回目の方が感動が薄かったです。
でも！何度見てもキレーかった！

I went in May last time. This time in November, I heard that we couldn't go to Molokini Island until the day before.
In May, I could hardly see any fish, and the waves were a bit high, which made me feel seasick while snorkeling... but!
This time, the visibility was better than in May, and the waves were calm.
Having casual conversations with Takako made for a very pleasant cruising experience.
The combination of a cheeseburger and a hot dog sausage was the best.
All the staff were cheerful, and it was a lot of fun.
I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance.

前回は5月に行きました。今回は11月で、前日までモロキニ島には行けなかったと聞きました。
5月の時は魚はほとんど見れなく波も少し高めでシュノーケリング中に酔いました・・・が！
今回は5月よりも透明度は高く波も穏やかでした。
たかこさんのとの世間話がとても快適なクルージングとなりました。
チーズバーガー＋ホットドックのソーセージのみの組み合わせ最高です。
スタッフ全員明るくすごく楽しかったです。
事前に酔い止めお勧めします。

The guide, Yamapi, was incredibly attentive. The Krispy Kreme donuts were freshly made and absolutely delicious. During donut time, he made sure to engage with all the participants, which helped everyone bond. I was also happy to stop by the supermarket to buy dinner and choose my own bento. Tours like this are quite rare. The stargazing was simply beautiful and amazing. I would love to join again when I come back to Maui.

ガイドの山ピーさんの気配りがすごく良いです。クリスピードーナツは出来立てなので最高に美味しいです。またドーナツタイムで参加者に万遍無く話しかけてくれるので参加者とも仲良くなれます。夕飯のお弁当を買うためスーパーへ寄り、自分でお弁当を選べるのは嬉しかったです。このようなツアーはなかなかありません。星空観測はとにかくきれいで素晴らしいです。またマウイへ来たら参加したいです。

This excursion was the perfect way to experience the sunset. The ride to the crater was also enjoyable. Our Tour guide was informative and funny. It looked like we were floating on the clouds. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The view of the crater was great and surreal as well. Unbelievable colors. Bring a jacket! It was cold up there. The dinner was good as well. I highly recommend this excursion!
