Calypso Deluxe Molokini Crater & Turtle Town Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch

Snorkeling made easy!

Reviewed by: David F

Molokini was beautiful. Turtle Town had murky water. Did not even stop but we spent extra time at Molokini. Got in some whale watching too and had two whales swim right up to the boat. Great staff, very helpful and courteous.

We have had years of whale watch trips. Some were spectacular and others were just OK. This trip was OK. Not much activity from the whales. We normally go out on catamarans but this was a very large boat.

We had a great time aboard Pacific Whale Foundation Whale Watch Cruise. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable.. the boat was clean, and crew wiped down common areas during the cruise. We all wore masks and social distanced.. I felt comfortable and completely safe. Our Naturalist was friendly and answered all our questions. We saw mothers and babies and some with an escort. We had a wonderful day, the sun was shining and weather was beautiful. I would highly recommend this activity. Making the reservation was an easy process too.Thank you, Hawaii Activities and Pacific Whale Foundation for a memorable day!!

We had a Japanese guide with us, and we were able to see a lot of whales! I wanted to see them a bit closer, but it's all about luck. I tend to get lost at the meeting point, so I went to check it out early, but it wasn't open. That made me a bit anxious.

2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui

Get your Feet Wet and See the Sunset! (...and maybe get engaged)

Reviewed by: Emily Feagin

The boat crew was amazing. You will take your shoes off prior to entering the boat and the crew assists with the facilitation of passengers onto the vessel. The main challenge is timing the waves with getting passengers on board. The crew did a great job with this and ensured everyone stayed dry (for the most part!) Once on the boat there are several different seating options: Bean bag chairs, bench seating down by the bar area, and seating on the front of the vessel. I would recommend sitting in the bean bags as they are comfortable and provide a great view (just be careful with your phone as there are slits it could possibly fall through into the ocean.)

Dinner was served on the boat and it was excellent. The brussel sprouts and chicken bites were delicious! Drinks were also served and the crew did a great job with serving everyone in a timely and frequent manner. The trip was extra special for me as my wonderful fiance (then boyfriend) proposed to me as the sun set over the mountains. My friends worked with the crew members to make the moment extra special as they deliberately turned the boat for us to see the sunset in our engagement pictures. During/after the proposal they provided us with a champagne shower and the rest of the bottle of champagne! Truly a moment we will never forget.

A++ experience!

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

Turtles, Mai Tais, and Good Times!

Reviewed by: Emily Feagin

The boat crew was outstanding. Very informative and helpful in all aspects of the trip. Many whales were spotted throughout the entire adventure and the crew's commentary on the whales was interesting. Breakfast and lunch on the boat was also excellent. Breakfast was light and more so appetizers so if you need more sustenance make plans for that. Lunch had plenty of food leftover if you wanted/needed seconds. Around lunch time the bar was opened for drinks and the bartenders were all awesome! A handful of beers (crafts, domestics) and mixed drinks were served. The snorkel gear provided by the boat was great as well. They provided anti-fog spray for the masks so don't worry about bringing any. Oh, there's also a slide on the back of the boat. Good time.

Our group was lucky enough to spot a handful of sea turtles, which really made the trip a special one. The guides on the water were careful to ensure trip members did not get too close or touch the sea turtles, which was nice to see. The bathrooms on board were clean and had no issues. The top of the boat was bench seating with plenty of room for the amount of passengers that were on the trip. Sunscreen was provided on board so do not worry about bringing your own.

Overall, there is nothing I can think of to improve the experience we had. Would highly recommend and even do again if ever back on the island! A+

In the end, we got really close to the cruise ship and had a great time! 最後はクルーズ船に大接近、遊んでくれました!

Reviewed by: ジョージ

I participated alone. I had some anxiety, but the check-in and boarding went smoothly. There were whales everywhere. Every time we spotted one, the captain and the other passengers would announce it and point it out, so we moved the boat left and right to take pictures! At the end of the tour, a whale came close to the boat, dove underneath, and popped up to play with us! Everyone was super excited! ☆ Since there was some wind and occasional rain (though not for long), I think it's a good idea to bring a windbreaker. It was a very valuable experience, and I was moved. Thank you very much!!

1人で参加をしました。
不安もありましたがチェックインから乗船、その後もスムーズでした。クジラはあちこちにいました。見えるたびにキャプテンや乗客の皆さんがアナウンスや指差しをして教えてくれたので船を右に左に飛び回って写真を撮りました!
ツアーの最後にはクジラが船に近づいてきて、船の下に潜り込み、顔を出して戯れてくれました!
みんな大興奮でした☆
風があったり、たまに雨が降ったり(長い時間ではありませんが)するので、ウインドブレーカーを持参しても良いと思います。
とても貴重な体験が出来感動しました。

The best cost-performance whale tour. コストパフォーマンス最高の鯨ツアー

Reviewed by: Peterkinoyu

I participated in February, and at first, I was worried about whether I would be able to enjoy it. However, I was engaged from start to finish. The price was reasonable, and the duration of about 2-3 hours was just right.

I attended wearing just a shirt, and it was comfortable enough. Please bring your own drinks. Be cautious about parking in Lahaina, as there aren't many options available. I parked at a place that cost about 1,500 yen for 8 hours. When I was in my early 20s, I would park far away for free and walk for 30 minutes, but...

2月に参加しましたが最初はみれるか不安でした。でも最初から最後まで飽きるほど見れました。それでいて値段も安く時間も2-3時間ほどとちょうどよいです。
シャツ一枚で参加しましたがほどよいものでした。
飲み物は持参してください。ラハイナは駐車場があまりないので来る時要注意です。私は8時間1,500円ほどのところにとめました。20代前半の時なら遠くの無料パーキングにとめて30分でも歩くのですが…

When we went out to sea on a large double-hulled boat, we saw many whales spouting, and shortly after, we encountered one swimming leisurely nearby, which was thrilling. I had heard that a lot of whales come during this season, but I was truly surprised. I would love to go see them again when I visit Maui.

大型双頭船で沖合いまで出ると、たくさんのクジラの潮吹きが見えて、そのあとすぐ近くを悠々と泳いでいるのに遭遇し、感激しました。この時期はクジラがかなりやって来るとは聞いていたのですが、本当にビックリしました。また、マウイにいくときはもう一度見に行きたいです。

So many whales!

Reviewed by: Angie

By far the BEST excursion of our trip. We took the 7:30am whale watching tour. The Captain was fantastic... we had very close, and multiple, whale encounters. The water was calm, the boat was easy to navigate with a toddler and family members with some mobility challenges. There was so much to see; the two hours went by way too fast. Highly recommend this company and crew! Thanks for such a great adventure. What a trip to remember.
