Although our whale watching was actually before the normal season, we still sighted three different whales! The staff was very friendly and helpful and their formation they provided was very informative. I would certainly recommend their whale watching boat trip as it was both fun and productive. The captain was very good at getting us as close as possible to the whales

We used this for our honeymoon trip.
As part of the basic tour, we had a snorkeling and snuba experience around Molokini Island.
Honestly, my impression was that there weren't many fish there.
After that, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and it was mentioned that snorkeling or snuba could be done for an additional fee.
At first, I was a bit disappointed because I thought the price included everything, but in the end, I was able to swim with two sea turtles, and there were also some lucky moments where we saw dolphins and whales from the boat, so it turned out to be a satisfying tour.
The tour instructors were generally cheerful people, so we had a great time.
新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
基本のツアーとしては、モロキニ島の周辺でのシュノーケル+スヌーバ体験。
ここでは正直そんなに魚はいないなというのが正直な感想でした。
その後で海亀の出るスポットに移動して、追加料金でシュノーケルorスヌーバができるということでした。
最初は全部込みでの値段だと思っていただけにがっかりする気持ちもありましたが、結果としては2匹の海亀と一緒に泳ぐこともできましたし、それ以外にも偶然的な要素はあったかと思いますがイルカやクジラも船の上からですが見ることができたので満足のいくツアーになりました。
基本的にツアーのインストラクターも陽気な人たちだったので、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated in the tour with my 0-year-old and 6-year-old, and while I had some concerns, we drove to the dock with a rental car.
The meeting place was easy to find, and there was a very friendly and approachable Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease when boarding the boat. We brought a stroller, and the staff helped us out, even carrying my child while I was snorkeling, which was very kind and made me happy☆
My 6-year-old had plenty of snorkeling experience, but it was their first time snorkeling in deep water, and they were quite scared. However, they were super excited and enjoyed themselves at the second turtle spot.
The boat also had a slide, and both my husband and 6-year-old were really pumped about it.
I wasn't expecting much from lunch, but the burgers were really delicious. After snorkeling, there was unlimited alcohol! As a heavy drinker, I was quite pleased with this!!
I highly recommend this for both adults and families!
今回0歳、6歳を連れてのツアー参加で不安もありましが、レンタカーにて船着き場へ。
集合場所もわかりやすく、大変気さくで話しやすい日本人ガイドさんもいらっしゃったので安心して乗船。
ベビーカーで行きましたが手伝ってくれたり、シュノーケルしてる間も抱っこしてスタッフの方が面倒を見てくださったり、大変皆さん親切で嬉しかったです☆
6歳児はシュノーケル経験は豊富でしたが、深い海のシュノーケルは初めてで大変怖がっていましたが
二つ目のウミガメスポットから大興奮で楽しんでいました。
船に滑り台もついており、パパと6歳児はかなりテンション上がってました。
ランチも期待してなかったのですがバーガーが大変美味しかったです。
シュノーケル後はお酒も飲み放題!これは酒豪の私としてはかなり嬉しかったです!!
大人同士でも家族連れでもオススメです!

As November is approaching, it was a bit chilly, but the water clarity was beautiful, allowing us to see all the way to the bottom! However, it gets cold when you come out, so you'll need dry clothes. There were Japanese staff members who kindly checked on us multiple times to see if we were okay and even took photos for us. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles, but we had a wonderful experience snorkeling for the first time.
もうすぐ11月という事で、少し冷たかったですが、うちの透明度は底まで見れて綺麗でした‼︎ただ、上がった時が寒いので濡れてない服が必要です。

We participated as a family, including my 6-year-old son who is in the first grade. On Molokini Island, there were many fish and the water clarity was excellent. After that, we moved by boat to a spot for sea turtles, and the guide pointed out, "Look, there's a turtle!" The turtle was so cute and swam leisurely without fleeing even when we got close. If your child can snorkel, this tour is definitely enjoyable. I want to go again.

I visited Maui for the first time in 25 years and went snorkeling at Molokini Island. The number of fish at Molokini has decreased quite a bit compared to before, but the water clarity seemed to remain about the same. This time, I also went to another location where there were sea turtles and many fish. I had a great time, and the Japanese guide was very kind.

The clarity of the water around Molokini Island is amazing, but there aren't many tropical fish. At the second point, the turtle spot, it was fantastic to swim with the turtles for a long time. Those staying at hotels in the Wailea area were close to the turtle spot, so they could encounter them even on private beaches. It was really enjoyable since we could get explanations in Japanese and the drinks were free.
モロキニ島の透明度は素晴らしいですが熱帯魚はあまりいません。

On that day, there was only one other group of Japanese people besides our group, but there were about 100 foreign tourists on board. The explanations and announcements were in English, but there was a Japanese guide who provided additional explanations.
Whether it was for our sake or if they usually do this, they were out on boards checking for safety in the water. It was reassuring to be able to ask for help in Japanese.
As we headed towards Molokini Island, the color of the sea changed, and it was truly beautiful. The water was shallow enough that we could see the bottom.
In the morning, we had a simple meal of fruits and bread, and for lunch, there were burgers or hot dogs. Personally, I found the taste to be rather basic and not particularly delicious.
For drinks, we had guava juice and coffee in the morning, and afterwards, there were cola and Sprite. There seemed to be water available separately. On the return trip, they also served alcohol.
There were separate restrooms for men and women, and there was a simple shower at the back of the boat. It was the type that you had to hold down manually, so it was difficult for shorter people to use, and it wasn't suitable for long periods.
Unfortunately, for several days including that day, the waves were rough and the water was murky, so we couldn't go to the spots where sea turtles could be seen. Instead, we ended up doing two snorkeling sessions at Molokini Island (which was beautiful, though).
If you're going to Maui, I think you should definitely visit Molokini Island.
その日は私たちグループのほか1組しか日本人はおらず、でも外国からの観光客で、100人くらいは乗っていたでしょうか。

日本語で助けを求められるので安心でした。
モロキニ島に向かう途中から海の色が変わり、本当にきれいでした。
水深があまりないので、底まで見えました。
朝はフルーツとパン等の簡単な食事、昼はバーガーかホットドックです。
私的には大雑把な味ですごくおいしいというものではなかったです。
飲み物は、朝はグァバとコーヒー、それ以降はコーラとスプライト。別途水があるようでした。
帰りの船ではアルコールも出していました。
トイレは一応男女別にあり、シャワーも船の後方に簡易のものがありました。
手で押さえておかないといけないタイプだったので、背が低いと大変だし、長時間は使えないです。
残念ながら、その日を含む数日は、波が多くて濁っており、ウミガメがみられる場所には行けず、
モロキニ島で2回のシュノーケリングをすることになりました。(きれいだったけど)

Great attentive staff. Great venues at Molokini and Turtletown. I swam with a turtle. The food was great- best burger I've had in a while. The boat ride was great. I liked having the option of being out of the sun on the main deck or outside on the the deck or up on top and there was plenty of seating. It was nice having a restroom available. We really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend this trip for all ages. There was a toddler on board and some older people who did not swim but stayed on the boat and still had the option to view fish through the glass bottom window.

I participated in a snorkeling trip to Molokini Island. I had requested transportation, and they arrived on time, allowing us to board the boat without any issues. It took about an hour by boat to reach Molokini Island, and shortly after boarding, we had breakfast. During the trip, Takako gathered us for an explanation. Since we weren't sitting the whole time, I didn't get seasick.
I was incredibly impressed not by the fish, but by the clarity of the water at Molokini Island! I've been to various seas both domestically and internationally, but I've never seen such clear water; it was amazing. It was so clear that it took my breath away.
Afterward, we had lunch, and the burgers we ate on the boat were exceptional! We moved to another spot, and Takako guided us to see sea turtles, so we were able to see them multiple times. Additionally, when we went, dolphins showed themselves to us!
There were many foreigners on the boat, but Takako was always attentive, so it was perfectly fine. I would love to request this again when I visit Maui.

I was initially hesitant to join this tour because I can't swim at all and I'm nearsighted, so I can't see anything without my glasses. However, I participated at the request of my companion. When I asked in advance if it would be okay, I received a response from a Japanese guide named Takako, who assured me that floatation devices and nearsighted snorkeling gear would be provided, so it would be fine. On the day of the tour, she kindly instructed us on how to use the floatation devices on the water, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling somehow. Although we only snorkeled at Molokini due to high waves that day and didn't see many fish or turtles, the beautiful, clear blue sea was stunning. Thank you very much.
私は全く泳げない上に、近視でメガネなしでは何も見えないので、このツアーの参加に前向きではありませんでしたが、連れの希望で参加しました。事前に大丈夫か聞いたところ、タカコさんという日本人ガイドの方が、浮き具や近視のスノーケルが用意されているので大丈夫とご返答いただき、当日も、浮き具の使い方などを海上で丁寧に指導していただき、何とかスノーケリングを楽しむことができました。当日は波が高いとのことでモロキニ一箇所だけのスノーケリングでしたが、魚や亀などはあまり見れませんでしたが、美しい、透明度の高い青い海でした。ありがとうございました。

Please understand that, as sea turtles and fish are natural creatures, there may be times when you cannot see them.
