The first stop where the boat docked was at the center of a crescent-shaped island, where we snorkeled. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and we saw many tropical fish.
At the second stop, we were able to see a large sea turtle up close. Both times, we had plenty of time to relax and float around in the sea.
Breakfast, lunch, and alcoholic drinks were provided, and the food service was satisfying. There were three types of local beer from Maui. There were also cocktails available. All-you-can-drink! The beer after playing in the sea was delicious, a delight for beer lovers.
It seemed that there were a total of 140 participants on the same boat, but there were only us and one other family as Japanese participants. The Japanese female guide was polite and taught us various things, and she was also very approachable, which was really nice.
船が止まる一箇所目、三日月の形の島の中身の部分で、まずシュノーケル。とてもきれいな海で、南国の魚をたくさん見れました。
二箇所目で、大きいウミガメを近くで見れました。
2回とも十分時間を取ってくれて、のんびり海で浮かんで遊べました。
朝食、昼食、アルコールも飲めて、食のサービスも満足でした。
マウイ島の地ビールは3種類ありました。カクテル?もありました。飲み放題!海で遊んだあとのビール美味しかったです、ビール好きにはたまらないです。

The Pride of Maui Molokini Snorkel Cruise was a great snorkel package. There were two snorkel locations, provided meal, drinks, miscellaneous items available to use or rent (see below), and the information from the optional 5-minute class gave some useful tips for the subsequent snorkeling we later did on our own on our trip.
The waters by Molokini were so clear, it was unbelievable how far through the water you can see. Turtle Town waters were less clear than Molokini but had more varied sea life. Whales were breaching along our path to the crater.
I wasn't expecting much from the barbecue but it was surprisingly tasty and filling. They offered neoprene suits to rent. A variety of underwater camera and camera accessories could be rented. Waist floatation and noodles were available for use. Environmentally-friendly sunscreen was also provided. There was a life guard nearby who would let you know when a turtle was in the area at Turtle Town. The slide on the boat was also fun.

We participated in this for our honeymoon. My husband speaks English, but I thought it would be reassuring to have a Japanese guide, so we signed up. Our guide, Takako, was a wonderful person who helped us a lot, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. The sea was very beautiful, and we saw many fish. We were very satisfied to see three sea turtles up close, so much so that we felt like we were too close and had to back away from them. There was a slide from the boat into the sea, which was surprisingly fun, and I ended up going down it multiple times like a child! There was also a shower on board, and since the weather was nice, it wasn't cold at all. We had a delicious hamburger for lunch, and at the end, they served alcohol, which I thought was a great deal for the price.

Although we did see many whales, nothing was comparable to the impressive photo's shown in add brochures. You well need a nice set of binoculars to see the detail in sales brochures. All we saw were distance tail and fin flops although some say they saw a baby come out of the water. We enjoyed just setting on the beach watching the whales in the evening as the actual tour....An underwhelmed Okie!

In the beginning, I was half resigned to the fact that I could only see the whales spouting from a distance, but then a mother and baby whale appeared quite close to us, which was moving. After that, we encountered a pod of about 7 to 9 whales. I was very satisfied. There was a naturalist on the boat who provided commentary through a microphone, which was enjoyable. I couldn't understand all the details, but when a whale appeared, they would say, "○ o'clock!" and "left! right!" so it was fine.
*At the time of booking, it was noted that there would be an "English guide," but when I arrived at the port for check-in, a Japanese guide was waiting for us. I was grateful for the prior explanation about why whales gather around Maui, their habits, and the best viewing points.*
前半は遠くで潮を吹いている姿がちらほら見られるくらいで、なかなか近くでは見られないものなんだなと半分あきらめていたところ、親子クジラがかなり近い距離に現れてくれて感動。その後も、7〜9頭ほどのクジラの群れに遭遇。大満足でした。船にはナチュラリストの方が乗船していて、ずっとマイクで解説をしてくれて楽しかったです。細かいところまでは理解できませんでしたが、クジラが現れると「○ o'clock!(○時の方向)!」「left! right!」と言ってくれるので、大丈夫です。
※予約時点では「英語ガイド」と記載されていましたが、当日チェックイン先の港へ行くと日本人のガイドさんが待っていてくれました。なぜクジラがマウイ島に集まるのか、クジラの習性、見るポイントなど事前に説明してくださってありがたかったです。

Our whale watching cruise was incredible. The staff was so kind and very informative. The crew knew the answers to all of the questions that guests were asking about the whales and their lifestyles.
Our departure location changed due to weather and the staff made sure to contact us multiple ways to ensure that we were aware of the changes. Very helpful!

I went with my second-grade daughter and my partner. Initially, we were set to depart from Kaanapali Beach, but due to weather conditions, it changed to Lahaina Harbor. We received an email the day before, but since we were without Wi-Fi, we couldn't reply, and then we got a phone call. It cost about $17 by taxi from our hotel, Sheraton Maui, to Lahaina Harbor. Upon arriving at the harbor, there were several whale watching tour counters, and it took a little time to find the company, Trilogy. In the end, there wasn't a counter, but I noticed a Trilogy staff member standing there calling out "Trilogy?" and we were able to board safely. They mentioned to look for a small white lighthouse, but we weren't directly under it; we were nearby. When I asked at the counter close to the lighthouse, I received a heartbreaking response of "That's not it!" so be careful.
Now, regarding the whale watching itself, I initially sat at the back of the boat, but wanting to see the whales, I moved to the front. There were no seats, but I positioned myself right in the middle at the front to search for whales. Shortly after we set sail, we spotted a spout of water and some splashes that seemed to indicate a jump. The further we went offshore, the more we were able to see tails and jumps. We were thrilled to see whales swimming gracefully close to the boat and the impressive jumps! We were able to see many whales. After returning to the hotel, the tour guide mentioned that "this year, since El Niño has ended, there are a lot more whales," so the chances of seeing them have definitely increased compared to last year. During El Niño, fewer whales travel down to Hawaii from the Gulf of Mexico. Also, it seems that more whale jumps can be seen in the cooler morning and evening waters. We were on the afternoon tour, so we were worried, but fortunately, we were able to see many whales.
Onboard, they served drinks, including alcoholic beverages, ham sandwiches, cookies, and potato chips as light snacks. The crew didn't speak Japanese, but we had no issues and had a great time. I definitely want to visit Maui again in February and participate in the whale watching tour. By the way, I only took photos with my smartphone, so they were far from the impressive shots you see in guidebooks. Some people had DSLRs, but it might be risky since you never know when a splash might come. In the vast ocean, it's hard to know where the whales will appear, so it feels like a waste to look through the viewfinder while trying to spot them.
小2の娘と親子3人で利用しました。当初は、カアナパリビーチから出航でしたが、天候によりラハイナ港発に変わりました。前日にメール連絡ありましたが、wifi環境下におらず返信できずにいたら、電話連絡がありました。宿泊先のシェラトンマウイからラハイナ港まではタクシーで片道17ドル程度。港に着くといくつものホエールウォッチングツアー窓口があり、主催会社のトリロジーを探しあてるのに少々手間取りました。結果としては、窓口はなくトリロジーのお兄さんが立っていて「トリロジー?」と声をかけていたのに気づき無事乗船となりました。白い小さな灯台を目印にとのことでしたが、その真下にいるのではなく、近くにいました。灯台すぐ近くの窓口で聞いたときは、「違います!」との切ない回答だったので、注意が必要です。
さて、肝心のホエールウォッチングは、乗船時こそは後ろのほうで座っていましたが、やはりクジラが見たくてヨットの前方に移動し、椅子はなかったけどど真ん中の真ん前に陣取りクジラを探しました。出航からほどなく沖合に、潮を吹く姿を見つけたり、ジャンプの後らしき波しぶきを見つけたり。だんだん沖に進めば進むほど、しっぽを確認できたり、ジャンプも見られました。船のすぐ近くをクジラが悠々と泳いでいく姿や、迫力のジャンプに大興奮! 多くのクジラを見ることができました。ホテルに戻ってからツアーガイドさん曰く、「今年はエルニーニョが終わったのでクジラがとても多い」とのことで、去年より断然みられる確率が高まったとのことです。エルニーニョの間は、クジラがメキシコ湾にとどまりハワイまで南下するクジラが少ないのだとか。また、クジラのジャンプがより多くみられるのは、海水温の低い朝夕だそうです。私たちは、午後からのツアーだったので、心配していましたが、幸運にもたくさんのクジラを見られました。船上ではアルコールを含むドリンク、ハムサンド、クッキー、ポテトチップスなど軽食とドリンクが供されます。クルーの方々は、日本語は通じませんが、特に問題なくとても楽しめました。また、ぜひ2月のマウイに行き、ホエールウォッチングツアーに参加したいと思います。 ちなみに、写真はスマホ撮影のみでしたので、ガイドブックのような迫力あるショットとは程遠く・・・。一眼レフを持っていた方もいましたが、いつ波しぶきがかかるかも分からないのでリスキーかもしれませんね。広い海の中で、どこからクジラが姿を現すかわからないので、ファインダーをのぞきながらだと見つけにくいという点でももったいない気がします。

I received a polite email from the VELTRA representative informing me that the departure point was changed to Lahaina the day before due to bad weather. At Lahaina Harbor, I had trouble finding parking and almost missed the meeting time, but I was advised about free parking on Front St and Prison St, and I was able to board safely! As others have mentioned, the crew was attentive, bringing drinks, fruit, and snacks to each person, allowing us to focus on enjoying whale watching. I thought the number of passengers was just right. It was exciting when everyone spotted a whale together. I was moved when a whale came close while we had the engine off. I recommend this experience as you can enjoy it regardless of the weather.

I participated in this on my honeymoon. I was able to see more whales up close than I expected, and I was very satisfied. The closest whale was about 90 meters away. I got to see the head of a baby whale about 20 times. (It's said that seeing so many is quite rare.) A Japanese guide also joined us on the boat. They explained the ecology of the whales and told us which direction the whales were located.
We were supposed to gather 30 minutes before departure, but it was a bit tough waiting in the blazing sun for those 30 minutes. I thought it might have been okay to step out of line and wait in the shade until we set sail.

The morning trip was fully booked, so I reserved the afternoon trip. I saw a lot of whales, but it didn't feel like we were very close to them. The meeting place is a grassy area along Kaanapali Beach with just the company's sign, which might be a bit hard to find. It's recommended for those staying in the Kaanapali area since you can walk there. You board the boat from the beach, but the waves can be quite strong, so you will get soaked; it's necessary to take precautions to keep your smartphone dry. On the boat, they served sandwiches and chips. Drinks, including Maui beer, cocktails, and soft drinks, were unlimited. The tour was in English, but there were no particular inconveniences. Both the captain and the staff were very kind. I brought along a senior with mobility issues, and all the staff helped with boarding and disembarking the boat, for which I am very grateful. However, I think it would be better for those with mobility issues to avoid this trip.

On the day of the tour, due to the wind around Molokini Island, we couldn't go to Molokini Island and instead changed to two other snorkeling spots where we might see sea turtles. To sum it up, we didn't get to see any sea turtles... (what a shame). However, it seems that some of the other participants did see them. Additionally, there was information that seals were present a few hours before we arrived at the snorkeling spot, so if you're lucky, you might encounter wild seals! How envious!
The tour crew is mostly local, so all explanations are in English. There was one kind and cool Japanese woman who explained important things in Japanese.
Although the weather on the day was sunny, it was somewhat cloudy and cold, which I think made it unsuitable for snorkeling. Still, there were quite a few fish, and it felt great to swim leisurely in the beautiful sea. There were a lot of whales! From a distance, I was moved to see them spouting water dramatically and diving with their tails raised, just like in pictures.
On the boat, there were plenty of drinks and breakfast and lunch provided. They even had a barbecue grill, and the freshly made hamburgers were delicious!!
While it was disappointing not to see any sea turtles, I was overall satisfied with the pleasant cruise, seeing whales, swimming in the ocean, and eating hamburgers.
参加当日はモロキニ島周辺の風の影響でモロキニ島には行けず、ウミガメが見れるかも…という他のシュノーケルスポット2か所へ変更となりました。結果から言うと、私たちはウミガメには会えず・・・(残念)。でも他の参加者は見れた人もいたようです。また、我々がそのシュノーケルスポットへ到着する数時間前にはアザラシがいたとの情報もあったようで、運が良ければ野生のアザラシに会えることもあるのかもしれないということです!羨ましい!
ツアークルーはほぼ現地人なので説明は全て英語です。お一人だけ日本人の優しくてクールなお姉さんがいらっしゃいましたので重要なことは日本語で説明してくれました。
当日の天気は晴れていたものの、曇りがちで寒かったのでシュノーケルには不向きな天候だったかと思います。それでも魚はまぁまぁいたし、綺麗な海をのんびり泳げてとても気持ちよかったです。クジラは沢山いました!遠くからですが、豪快に潮を吹く様子や、絵に描いたように尻尾を上げて潜っていく様子を肉眼でも見れて感動。
船上では十分な飲み物と朝食・昼食をいただけます。バーベキューグリルまで完備されており、作り立てのハンバーガーが美味しかった!!

We got caught in the rainy season weather, and it was so cold that we had to wear suits to get in the water. You can rent one for $10. There is another snorkeling spot besides Molokini. We were lucky to see whales while moving between spots, and we were very satisfied to see wild turtles as well. The boat rocked a lot. Even after taking motion sickness medication, I felt nauseous. A foreigner who boarded with us ended up vomiting. It became a very good memory. I definitely recommend participating when visiting Maui.

This was my second attempt at the Molokini Island snorkeling tour, but unfortunately, we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to the unfavorable wind direction. I couldn't go last time either. (Tears) We ended up snorkeling at a different spot (and I did see a sea turtle), but now I will try again for a third time! Until I can go to Molokini Island.
今回は二回目挑戦のモロキニ島シュノーケリングツアーでしたが、残念ながら風の向きが悪く
モロキニ島には行けませんでした。前回も行けず。(涙)
違うポイントでのシュノーケリングになりましたが(ウミガメも見れました)
こうなったら3回目に挑戦します!モロキニ島に行けるまで。

The staff were very kind, asking each person about drinks, sandwiches, and chips. It was also fun to encounter a whale and even a pod of dolphins by chance.
スタッフの方は飲み物やサンドイッチ、チップスなども1人ずつ聞いて回り、とても親切な対応でした。クジラや偶然イルカの群れにも遭遇でき楽しかったです。
