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>

It was the best tour! 最高のツアーでした!

Reviewed by: Tulip

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!

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  早朝から夕方まで4つの開始時間から選べる <11~4月/無料ソフトドリンク付き/マアラエア港発>

Not only the whales, but also the vast ocean scenery was impressive! クジラのみならず、広大な海景色にも感動!

Reviewed by: Ryokousuki

There were no other Japanese tourists on the tour, and everything was in English, but I enjoyed it without any issues. I was moved to see whales appearing here and there, even from a distance. The vast scenery was absolutely amazing! Depending on the weather, this time there was no wind, and it was a pleasant cruise, so I didn't get seasick. (Just in case, everyone else took motion sickness medication.) This trip to Maui was also aimed at whale watching, so my long-held wish came true. I took a commemorative photo before boarding and purchased it, but later I received an email with a download method, so I was able to check it comfortably at hand. Thank you very much!

ツアーには他に日本人観光客はなく、全て英語でしたが問題なく楽しめました。遠目ではありますがあちこちにクジラが出現するので感動しました。なんと言ってもあの広大な景色は最高でした!!天気次第とはなりますが、今回は風もなく気持ちの良いクルージングでしたので酔う事はありませんでした。(念の為、私以外は酔い止めを飲んでました。)今回のマウイ旅行はホエールウォッチングが目的でもありましたので、念願が叶いました。乗船前に記念写真を撮って頂き購入しましたが、後にメールが届きダウンロードする方法でしたので、早く手元で確認する事ができ快適でした。ありがとうございました!

We arrived at the aquarium parking lot at 7:15, paid for parking (just to be safe, for 5 hours), and headed to the shop at 7:30.
From the parking lot, go down the stairs behind the sign, and the shop is on the right side.
There are various tours available, so we got a bit confused.
We were the only Japanese people there.
It was a large boat, so I didn't get seasick and it was comfortable.
We encountered a lot of whales, but only saw their tails and backs.
However, I would love to go again.

Eye-Level Whale Watch Tour from Mala Boat Ramp - Hawaii Ocean Rafting [Dec-Apr]

AMAZING!!!! Totally Worth it!!!

Reviewed by: Neeha

I absolutely loved this tour. I did go on a whale watching tour before but this one really is the best for me. We did an early morning tour & we were only a small group of 11 passengers on the raft. It almost felt like a private tour. The crew was super fun, they shared a lot of information about whales & were very happy to answer any question. Of course the main part, we saw whales!!! :) we saw them so up close & it was one of best experiences in my life. We had multiple whale sightings & we were also lucky to hear some of the whales sing. I am so glad we did an early morning tour the weather was perfect, we got to enjoy the sunrise, watch whales jumping out of the blue waters the perfect Maui vacation we wanted. It was a amazing & a totally next level experience for me. Thank you!!!

Fantastic cruise & experience

Reviewed by: Neeha

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 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。

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.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Hawaii is amazing, the company is average

Reviewed by: Sandy Cheeks

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.

I encountered whales three times while moving to different locations. It was very lucky!! However, even though I parked my car in the designated parking lot, I returned to find a no-parking ticket and a fine of $18!! Is this a targeted attack on rental cars? I wonder if others experienced the same. If so, they should explain in advance that there are fees for public parking.

クジラは場所を変えて移動し3回遭遇しました。大変ラッキーでした!! 但し、指定された駐車場に車を入れたのに、戻ると駐車禁止と罰金18$も取られた!!レンタカー狙い打ちか? 他の方も同じだろうか? ならば事前に公共駐車場の料金かかる事を説明すべきだ。
