I could see it up close. 近くで見えました。

Reviewed by: よっち。

We participated in an early morning tour. Since we don't understand English, we were hoping for a tour with a Japanese guide, but we were told, "It's the next tour." I wish we had known when the Japanese guide would board.

For now, we boarded the ship. We were the only Japanese people on it.

A crew member was explaining something about whales, but we couldn't understand at all. However, we did understand when she said, "Wow! Splash!" when the whale spouted water. It was amazing to see the tail and pectoral fins flapping up close.

When we went, it was the best season, and we were able to see whales probably within 15 meters of the boat. I think we could have enjoyed it even more if we understood English.

早朝のツアーに参加。英語がわからない私たちは、日本語ガイドさんがいるツアーだ、と期待指定して行ったけど、「次のツアーです」と言われました。いつ日本語ガイドが乗船するのかわかるようになっていればよかったなぁ。と。
とりあえず、乗船。日本人は私たちだけ。
クルーのお姉さんが何やらクジラの事を説明してくれているのだけどさっぱりわからない。。
くじらが潮を吹く時に「うぁ〜おぉ！スプラ〜シュッ！！」と言うのはわかりました。尾びれや胸びれをばたつかせるのが間近で観れて感動☆
行った時は最高のシーズンで船のたぶん15m近くでクジラを観る事が出来ました。

Molokini Snorkel

Felt like I was on a cattle boat. Too many people. Hard time seeing anything. The whole time I was wishing I had researched better and booked on a smaller more intimate boat. Hardly any fish at Molokini then went to rocks south of Wailea and saw much more, but had just been there the day before on our own.

Early morning departures are more affordable. 早朝発は料金がお得

Reviewed by: 東京暮らし家族

The departure is at 7:30 AM, and the fare is cheaper than the morning departures. The meeting time is 7:00 AM, but quite a few people are already at Lahaina Harbor, so it's better to arrive before 7:00 AM to park in the harbor's three-hour free parking. You will need to present the printed voucher at the booth, write your name, and sign a document acknowledging the risks associated with cruising to receive your boat ticket. Boats to Molokai Island and snorkeling tours also depart from the same location in sequence. The boat won't arrive until the previous one departs, so be sure to look around carefully to avoid getting on the wrong one. There is no Japanese guide for the early morning departure, but a naturalist will explain the whales' ecology in English. In early March, the peak whale season is slightly past, but we were able to see a whale approximately every ten minutes during the two-hour cruise. We could only see the dorsal fins and tails from a distance, so it might be a good idea to bring binoculars. The weather was cloudy. I had taken motion sickness medication in advance. The waves were calm, so it was fine. Bringing food and drinks is allowed, but snacks were also sold on the boat. A bottle of juice was about two dollars. The cruising experience was refreshing, but since we didn't see the whales' dynamic movements up close, my 12-year-old son (and some young Americans on board) found it a bit boring.

早朝7:30発で料金は午前発よりお得です。7:00集合ですがラハイナ港にはすでに結構人が来ているので、車を港の３時間無料パーキングに駐車するには7:00前には着いていたほうがよいです。あらかじめプリントアウトしておいたバウチャーをブースで出して名前を書き、「クルージングに伴う諸リスクを承知しています」との書類にサインすると、船のチケットを渡されます。同じ場所からモロカイ島行の船やシュノーケリングツアーの船も順番に出ます。前の船が出るまでは時間になっても船が入港して来ないので、よく周囲を見て乗り間違えないようにしましょう。早朝発には日本語ガイドはありませんが、ナチュラリストの方が英語でクジラの生態などを説明してくれます。３月上旬だと、クジラのピークはやや過ぎているとのことですが、それでも２時間のクルーズで10分に１頭くらいの割合で見れました。遠くに時々胸ビレや尾ビレが見える程度だったので、双眼鏡を持っていくといいかもしれません。天気は曇り。あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでいました。波は静かで穏やかな日でしたので、大丈夫でした。飲食物持込OKですが、船中でスナックの販売もしていました。ジュース１本２ドルくらいのようでした。クルージングとしては爽やかですが、それほど近くでダイナミックなクジラの動きを見れたわけでもなかったので、１２歳の息子（や同船していたアメリカ人の?若い人たち）はやや退屈していました。

Not the best snorkeling ever, but tour was fun

Reviewed by: Jesper

Molokini is not as stunning a snorkel spot as some say: there's only a select variety of fish and there's no impressive coral reef. The water is very clear though. But there are definitely much better snorkeling options elsewhere to be found.
We had a muddy water day for Turtle Town sadly, but I got to see a turtle nonetheless, which was nice.
The tour organisation was class though, well-spirited. Breakfast was decent, lunch was very good. And there were a lot of whales to be seen! I must say that even with Molokini not completely living up to its reputation I had a good fun day. Time well-spent.

Let's wake up early and head to the beach! 早起きして海へ出よう！

Reviewed by: otafukusan

When it comes to this season on Maui, it's all about whale watching. This time, I participated in an early morning plan that gathered at Lahaina Harbor at 7:00 AM. Since the tour was guided only in English, all the other passengers were foreigners except for us.

Although I couldn't fully catch what the guide was explaining due to my limited listening skills, the sunrise view from the boat was incredibly beautiful. We were able to see whales jumping here and there, and I had a refreshing and fulfilling time.

Waking up early is worth it. This early morning plan is also reasonably priced, so I personally highly recommend it! I definitely want to join this tour again when I visit Maui.

*When I arrived right on time at the Lahaina Cruise Company booth, there was already a large crowd. It's an easy place to find without any confusion.
*On the cruise ship, coffee and light snacks are also available for sale, so you can feel at ease even if you're hungry.

マウイ島のこの季節といえば、ホエールウォッチング。

ガイドさんの解説は、私にリスニング力がなくきちんと聞き取れてはいませんでしたが…
それでも、船上から眺める事のできる日の出はとても美しく、
クジラのジャンプもあちらこちらで見る事ができ、爽快で充実した時間を過ごす事ができました。

早起きは三文の得。この早朝プランはお値段もリーズナブルなので、個人的にはとてもお勧めです！

※集合時間丁度に到着したラハイナクルーズカンパニーブースは、既に多くの人だかりでした。迷う事無く探しやすい場所です。

Whale! クジラ！

Reviewed by: kujira

The waters around Maui were calm because they are surrounded by islands. There were whales everywhere, and I was wondering which one to see up close. The schedule was perfectly on time. The course we chose departed at noon, but since we had to spend a lot of time outside the boat while watching the whales, the sunlight was quite strong, so I recommend a course that finishes in the morning. It seems that more whales will be coming in mid-February. Our Japanese guide, Taka, was very kind and taught us many things. Thank you very much.

マウイ島の海は、島々に囲まれているため海が穏やかでした。
いたるところにクジラがいて、どのクジラを近くで見ようかな？といった具合でした。

これから２月中旬にかけて、もっとクジラがやってくるみたいです。

The sunrise tour on Maui was great, but honestly, there wasn't much else to do, and since there were no Japanese people around and my English isn't very good, I thought I probably wouldn't come back.

It was moving. And the lunch was delicious too.

I participated in a tour at the beginning of December. At the time, I didn't know that the whale watching season runs from December to May, so I was really worried whether we would actually see any since it had just turned December. As expected, no whales appeared no matter how long we waited. The guide also mentioned that we might not see any, but in the end, a mother and baby whale showed up. Ultimately, it turned out to be a satisfying tour.

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＞

Motion sickness medication and a wetsuit are essential. 酔い止めとウエットスーツは必須

Reviewed by: ちょっぷ

We participated as a couple on November 20, 2014. There were only one other Japanese couple besides us, but the Japanese staff member Takako was very attentive. She provided careful assistance with everything from the boarding process, snorkeling gear rental, diving into the sea, to the meals. The water clarity was amazing, and you could easily see the seabed. There weren't many fish, but I think it was sufficient for those who haven't experienced scuba diving. We were also able to see sea turtles. At Black Rock, we could only see "floating" turtles, but here we saw "swimming" turtles. The meal was delicious hamburgers, and beer and Mai Tais were all-you-can-drink. On the way back, we also enjoyed some cookies. It was a wonderful tour, so I highly recommend it to those who haven't experienced it yet.

For those participating in the tour, I think it's important to keep the following points in mind. It's better to have motion sickness medication. Both my spouse and I got seasick... I underestimated it because there weren't many mentions of seasickness in other reviews. Next, it's better to bring or rent a wetsuit. Honestly, the sea is cold. Having a wetsuit makes it much warmer. You can borrow goggles and fins when you receive them (I think it was $10), so it's okay if you don't bring your own. Also, I think there are some jellyfish (we both got stung), so it could serve as protection.

Regarding transportation, it was fine. I felt that many other tours had local meet-ups, but this tour provided proper pick-up (we stayed at the Westin). The other participants were a couple from America and France.

Finally, my experience: the foreign participants were very kind, and I had a lot of fun with them, for which I am very grateful. They helped me with translation when boarding (from difficult long English sentences to short broken English). They also took care of me when I got seasick... I don't think you can have such experiences on a tour with only Japanese participants. If you're coming to Maui, I think such experiences are great.

2014/11/20に夫婦で参加しました。
日本人は私たちともう一組しかいませんでしたが、日本人スタッフのタカコさんが大変気を配って下さいました。
船の乗船手続き、シュノーケルセットの貸し出し、海へのダイブ、食事まで、全てに丁寧な対応をしてくれました。
海の透明度は素晴らしく、楽勝で海底が見えます。
魚はそれほど多くはいませんでしたが、スキューバ体験していない方にとっては十分だと思います。
ウミガメも見ることができました。
ブラックロックでは「浮いている」亀しか見ることができませんでしたが、ここでは「泳いでいる」亀を見ることができました。
食事もおいしいハンバーガーで、ビールとマイタイは飲み放題でした。
帰り道ではクッキーのつまみも頂きました。
素晴らしいツアーですので、未体験の方にはぜひおすすめです。

これからツアーに参加する方は以下の点に注意した方がいいと思います。
酔い止めの薬はあった方が良いと思います。夫婦で船酔いになりました・・・。

次に、ウエットスーツは持参かレンタルした方が良いです。
正直、海が冷たいです。ウエットスーツがあるとかなり暖かくなるので。
ゴーグル、フィンを支給されるときに一緒に借りれるので（10ドルだったかな）持参していなくても大丈夫です。
またクラゲが多少いると思いますので（夫婦で刺されました）防護服代わりにもなるかと思います。
送迎についてですが、大丈夫です。

The tour is mainly in English with many non-Japanese participants, but staff member Takako provides explanations in Japanese, which is reassuring. Breakfast is light with cakes, sweet bread, and fruits, but there are plenty of drinks available, and lunch seemed delicious (I couldn't eat due to seasickness!). You can choose one item from several options like hamburgers and hot dogs. Drinks like cola and beer are plentiful. There are separate restrooms for men and women. There are also three types of floatation devices, which is comforting. The boat is fairly large, but three Japanese participants turned green from seasickness, so it might be a good idea to take medication beforehand. Overall, it was very good, but one downside was that the docking location was at the far end on the left side of the harbor, and there was no explanation, so I had to search around. During busy times, the parking lot is at the aquarium above the harbor. In December, the weather seems to be bad, and we couldn't go to Molokini due to strong winds, so we went to a different spot, but everyone seemed to have a good time.

日本人以外が多く、英語が主のツアーですが、スタッフのタカコさんが日本語で丁寧に説明してくれるので安心です。朝食はケーキや甘いパンとフルーツで軽くですが、飲物は十分出してくれますし、ランチは美味しかったようです。（私は船酔いで食べられず！）
ハンバーガー、ホットドック等、数種類から１つ選びます。飲物はコーラ、ビール等十分にもらえます。トイレは男女別に１つづつあり。浮具も３種類あり、安心です。まずまず大きい舟ですが、日本人は３人船酔いで青い顔になりましたので、薬飲んで行ったほうがいいかも。とても良かったのですが、１つ難点としては、舟の停泊場所がハーバーの左手一番奥で、説明がなかったので探し回りました。混み合う時は駐車場はハーバーの上にある水族館のところを使います。１２月は天気が悪いようで、モロキニは強風で行けず、別のポイントとなりましたが、みなさん楽しそうでした。

When I first went to the ticket booth, I was told that there was only a different time available. When I went back at that time, I received a coupon that could be used inside for free, which I exchanged for tickets and potato chips on the boat. Once I saw a whale, I started to see them one after another, which was thrilling. However, the most disappointing part was that, although I suddenly encountered a scene where the whale jumped vertically, everyone was starting to get bored and I didn't have my camera ready. I realized the importance of always being prepared with my camera and not giving up on capturing moments.

最初にチケット売り場へ行くと、違う時間しかないとのことで、再度その時間に行ったところ、中で使えるクーポンをタダでもらえ船の中でチケットとポテトチップスなどと交換できた。クジラは、１度みえると次々と見え出し感動したが、もっとも残念だったのは、よく写真にあるような垂直に飛び上がる場面が突然出くわしたものの、みんなそろそろ飽きてきたころなので、カメラを構えていなかったことです。なにごともあきらめずカメラをずっと構えている心がけが必要と痛感しました。

Be cautious as it is affected by the weather. 天候に左右されるので要注意

Reviewed by: 千とルイスの神探し

We participated on a boat that can accommodate over 100 people, mixed with American and other foreign tourists, with only six Japanese participants including us. The person in charge was a Japanese staff member named Takako.

Since my husband and I live in the United States, we had no issues communicating with the American guests, but the attentiveness and thoughtfulness of the Japanese staff are exceptional. Once again, Takako's "attention to detail" service and advice were very helpful. However, since the Japanese staff also care for other guests, they cannot be with you the entire time.

As the only one in the group who was delayed due to the snuba experience, Takako personally took me to the location of the sea turtles, and I was able to see several of them.

The snuba experience lasted only 30 minutes, and I was paired with a woman from a Korean group who had an extra spot. Because of this, I felt that the experience was not worth the price for just 30 minutes. My husband was also supposed to participate, but although he has fully recovered from a past lung surgery, he was told it was "not allowed without a doctor's note," so he had to give up. I was dissatisfied that there was no prior information provided, as we could have made arrangements if we had known in advance.

Aside from that, we did see whales swimming alongside the boat. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Molokini due to high waves, and we ended up snorkeling at a different location. It couldn't be helped, but there were few fish, and the water wasn't very clear.

It was good to have Takako with us, but other than that, it may have been below expectations.

100人以上乗船できる船で米人とその他外国人観光客に混ざって参加、そのうち日本人参加者は私たちを含め6人のみ。その担当をしてくれたのが日本人スタッフのタカコさんです。
私たち夫婦は米国在住なので言語的には米人対応でも問題ないのですが、日本人スタッフの気遣い、心配りは最高だからです。今回もタカコさんの「かゆいところに手が届く」サービスやアドバイスは役に立ちました。ですが、日本人スタッフも他のゲストのケアもするのでつきっきりではないです。
グループでただ一人、スヌーバ体験をして出遅れた私をタカコさんが個人的にウミガメの場所まで連れて行って下さり、何匹も見ることができました。
スヌーバ体験はたったの30分で2人1組で韓国人グループで参加していて一人余っていた女性と組になり、その人たちと一緒に行動しなければならなかったこともあり、30分だけの体験だけの料金としてはそれに見合う価値がないように感じました。実は夫も参加予定だったのですが完治しているものの昔肺を手術したことがあり、「医者の診断書なしでは不可」と言われ断念。前もって言ってくれればそれなりに対応できたのに前もっての情報提供がなかったことが不服でした。
それ以外は、ボートに並行して泳いでいた鯨もしっかり見ました。
残念だったのは、波が高いということでMolokiniには行けず、別のロケーションでのシュノーケリングになったことです。しょうがないけど、魚も少なく、水もあまりきれいではありませんでした。
タカコさんがいてくれたからよかったけど、それ以外は期待以下だったかも。

Early morning cruising is the best. 早朝のクルージングは最高

Reviewed by: KAPA

I participated in the early morning tour. Compared to my last visit in February, I was a bit worried that the number of whales visible from the hotel I stayed at was significantly lower, suggesting it might still be early in the season, but I was able to see plenty of whales without any issues.

This was my first time joining the early morning tour, and cruising while watching the beautiful sunrise was amazing! You can see the islands gradually becoming more vibrant as the light brightens. Since we return around 9:30, it allows for a productive day, and I highly recommend it.

早朝の回に参加しました。前回参加したとき（２月）に比べて、滞在していたホテルから見られるクジラの数がかなり少なかったので、まだ季節的に早かったかと少し心配していましたが、まったく問題なくたくさんのクジラを見ることができました。
今回初めて早朝の回に参加したのですが、美しい朝日を見ながらのクルージングは最高でした！島々が明るくなるにつれ、だんだんと濃い色になっていくのを見ることができます。帰港するのは9:30頃なので一日を有効に使うことが出来、とてもオススメです。
