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.
天候が良くなかったのか前日にラハイナ発に変更との連絡を丁寧なVELTRAの担当の方からのメールで頂きました。ラハイナ港ではパーキングがすぐ見つからず集合時間ギリギリになってしまい焦りましたが、Front StとPrison Stにある無料パーキングを教えてもらい無事乗船!他の方々が書かれている様にクルーの方達は1人1人に気遣って飲み物やフルーツ、軽食を運んで下さったので、クジラを見る事に集中して楽しむ事が出来ました。乗船人数も丁度いいサイズだと思いました。皆でクジラを見つけた時には盛り上がって楽しかったです。エンジンを止めている時に近くにクジラが来てくれて感動しました。天気に左右されず楽しめるのでおすすめです。

The crew was knowledgeable and the captain found some great whale locations. We saw quite a few breaches and other amazing whale activities.
However, the boat we went out with was their dinner boat and did not include the advertised hydrophones or binoculars. Had we known this, we might have booked a less expensive excursion that also didn't have these items.

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.
新婚旅行で参加しました。思った以上にたくさんのクジラを近くで見ることができ、大満足です。クジラは一番近くて90メートル先にいるのを見ることができました。子クジラの頭を20回ほど見ることができました。(こんなにたくさん見れるのは滅多にないそうです)日本語のガイドさんも一緒に乗船してくれました。クジラの生態の説明をしてくれたり、今どの方向にクジラがいるのかを教えてくれたりしました。
船が出航する30分前に集合だったのですが、30分間炎天下の中並んで待ったのでそれが少し大変でした。出航するまでは少し列から外れて日陰で待っても大丈夫だったのでは…と思いました。

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.

クジラも沢山見れましたが凄く近くで見れるって感じではありませんでした。

The second snorkeling spot for sea turtles was amazing. I had heard that the turtles are near the rocky areas, and that was true. I encountered three sea turtles.
In mid-January, the water was cold, and I rented a wetsuit for $10. I was told that renting would allow me to stay in the water longer, and that was indeed the case.

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!!
ウミガメに会えなかったことは残念でしたが、気持ちよくクルーズし、クジラを見て、海を泳いで、ハンバーガーを食べて、総合的に満足です。

I participated with my mother in her 60s. Thanks to the polite service from the Japanese staff, my mother also enjoyed snorkeling. The hamburger for lunch on the boat was delicious. 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.

Before participating in the tour, I was a bit anxious after reading reviews that mentioned "not enough fish," but... the blue ocean, the abundance of fish, and above all, meeting a sea turtle instantly lifted my spirits!!! The ocean was truly beautiful, and even though it was my first time snorkeling, I was so excited as soon as I got in the water that I must have tensed up, resulting in muscle soreness the next day (laughs). The clarity of the water at Molokini left me speechless. It reminded me of the importance of cherishing nature.
There was an initial briefing about safety in the ocean, and we were advised not to get too close to the turtles. However, a sea turtle suddenly appeared right in front of me, and as I tried to keep my distance, it actually swam closer to me... I was amazed at how fast the turtle was swimming (≧▽≦).
The BBQ lunch was also fantastic, with stunning views and the beautiful blue of the ocean, making it feel like the best experience ever! After the BBQ, we moved to another location, but it got a bit chilly, and I hesitated to get back in the water. However, since I had the chance to see the turtle and swimming in such a beautiful ocean doesn't happen often, I dove in! Thanks to that, I was welcomed by many fish.
They mentioned that they changed the order of the stops based on the day's conditions, and it resulted in an amazing experience. I'm also grateful for Miho and the friendly staff's accommodating attitude (*^-^*). I mistakenly misunderstood the pickup location and ended up being late, but they quickly sent another vehicle, allowing me to participate without any issues. I was feeling anxious about being late, but thanks to Miho's presence, I was able to enjoy myself.
ツアーに参加する前に口コミにて「魚が少ない」などとあり、少し不安だったのですが・・・
海の青さ、たくさんのお魚、そしてなによりウミガメに会えて一気に気分は最高!!!
本当に本当にきれいな海で、初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが海に入ってすぐに興奮状態になり、変な力が入っていたのか翌日は筋肉痛に(笑)
モロキニの水の透明度は本当に言葉がなくなります。自然を大切にする気持ちを思い出させてくれました。最初に海での注意事項などの説明があり、カメにあまり近づきすぎないようにとのことでしたが、目の前に突然ウミガメが現れ、なるべく離れようとしたのですがカメの方から近づいてくるというか・・・カメの泳ぎの速さにビックリ(≧▽≦)
お昼のBBQもステキな景色と綺麗な海の青さで、なんだか最高でした!BBQのあと別の場所に移動したのですが若干冷えてしまい海に入ることを躊躇したのですが、せっかくカメにも会え、こんな海で泳ぐことはそう何回もあることではないのでダイブ!!おかげでたくさんのお魚さんに迎らえました。
当日の状況で回る順番を変えたとのことでしたが、おかげで最高の経験ができました。ミホさんやスタッフの方々の気さくな対応にも感謝です(*^-^*)

Unfortunately on the day we went we were unable to go to molokini due to rough waters - I was very disappointed about this as a big reason I booked this was to see the under water crator. The tour guides however did their best to accommodate for another spot. Breakfast, lunch dessert and alcohol were all served - food was good.

We participated in a tour with a Japanese guide for our family trip, which included eight girls aged 5 to 80, as we had parents with mobility issues. There was only one other couple who were Japanese; the rest were foreigners.
Our guide, Miho, was very attentive and cheerful. She engaged in conversation with my parents on the boat and helped my mother, who was afraid of the sea, at a slow pace suitable for the elderly. It was a great help. The children were more focused on jumping off the boat and the slide rather than snorkeling. Onboard, we also enjoyed unlimited Hawaiian beer, sampling three different types, so there were plenty of ways to have fun besides the sea. Miho's stories were enjoyable, so I highly recommend this experience.

On the day of the trip, the boat was fully booked with 149 passengers on board. There were few Japanese people, just us and one other group, but a female Japanese staff member was always attentive, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any worries. We were lucky with the weather, as there were hardly any waves, and being on a large boat meant it didn't rock at all.
The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the cookies afterward made me feel like I was in America.
During snorkeling, we got to see the crescent-shaped Molokini Island, and at the turtle point, we encountered four turtles, one of which was right in front of us—it was truly moving! Even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I was able to enjoy myself without getting too tired by using the free floatation devices available.
If I have the chance to visit Maui again, I would love to participate again.

昼食のBBQハンバーガーは美味しく、食後のクッキーはアメリカを感じました。
