On November 30, 2014, I participated in a snorkeling cruise to Molokini Island. It was very windy and extremely cold that day. On the way to Molokini Island, we were informed that due to the strong winds, we wouldn't be able to go there. What a disappointment.
On the way to the first snorkeling point, I spotted a sea turtle and got really excited thinking, "There’s a turtle!" We arrived at the first snorkeling point and started snorkeling, but as soon as I got into the water, I became hyperventilated and had to come back up. I’ve done snorkeling many times before, and this was the first time I experienced something like this (tears). The staff helped me back onto the boat. A Japanese staff member mentioned that I might have been too exposed to the wind. After resting a bit, I decided to give it another try. This time, I was okay. While enjoying snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle in the distance. It was far away, but I was glad to see it. Just then, a sea turtle swam very close to me… I was truly moved by how close it was.
Seeing the sea turtle swim gracefully so near brought me to tears. My husband took pictures of the sea turtle nearby. Before heading to the second point, we had lunch on the boat. We put buns, vegetables, and fruits on our plates, and finally added a pâté topped with cheese. It was really delicious, perhaps because we were eating it on the sea. When we arrived at the second snorkeling point and started snorkeling, both my husband and I found it too cold to continue.
Although we couldn't go to Molokini Island, I had a wonderful experience swimming with the sea turtles. Thank you to all the staff!
2014/11/30 モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズに参加しました。
この日はとても風が強くてスゴく寒かった。
モロキニ島に向かう途中、あまりの風の強さに
今日はモロキニ島には行けないとの事。残念。
1箇所目のシュノーケルポイント向かう途中海ガメの姿発見。かめさんいる~と思いテンションが上がりました。1箇所目のポイント到着してシュノーケル開始。海に入るなり過呼吸状態になってしまい、海から上がりました。今まで何度もシュノーケルはやっているし、こんな状態になったのは初めて(涙)
スタッフ方に助けられて船にもどりました。
日本人スタッフの方に風に当たりすぎたのかもねぇ~と言われました。少し休んでからもう一度挑戦。今度は大丈夫。シュノーケルを楽しんでいると、遠くに海ガメ発見ッッ 遠かったけど見れて良かったぁ。と思っていたら、今度はすごく近くを泳ぐ海ガメが…本当に近くて感動しました。
優雅に泳ぐ海ガメをこんなに近くで見れて涙が出てきました。
主人が近くで海ガメの写真を撮ってくれました。
2箇所目のポイントに行く前に、船上でランチ。
バンズ、野菜、フルーツ、自分の好きな物をお皿にのせて、最後にチーズがのったパテをのせてもらいました。海の上で食べるからなのかとても美味しかった。2箇所目のポイントに到着してシュノーケル開始でしたが、私も主人も寒すぎてこちらではシュノーケル出来ずでした。
モロキニ島には行けませんでしたが、海ガメと一緒に泳ぐ事が出来て、素晴らしい体験が出来ました。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。

What an experience. Little island in middle of ocean. I never imagined that I would be snorkeling in the middle of the ocean and actually enjoying it. Loved every minute of it. My 11 year old did not want to leave. Bring your video cameras as well or rent them. We brought back the experience to enjoy all the time.

Molokini snorkel delux cruise was an awesome experience for me and my family. Unfortunately bad weather didn't allow us to go to molokini island but they took us other snorkeling spot which was beautiful. All the crew members were very helpful & caring. It was nice to see that every crew member was making sure everyone is safe and enjoying . Food & drinks were just awesome . Me and my family are vegetarian and most of the places we get very little or less options. But on this cruise we could enjoy lot of food like vege burgers ,pasta ,salad & juices. Overall very efficient service . I must recommend this cruise .

The day started off well as a greeter showed us where to park. A quick walk to the boat where we filled out the waivers and were able to see the sun come up behind the island in the distance. We formed a line to board (very organized) and took a boarding picture.
Unfortunately the weather at Molokini was not favorable, so we went to two alternate stops. At the first we were able to see four sea turtles! (along with the associated tropical fish cleaning them). The second stop was closer to the rocks which was pretty awesome to watch the waves crash and the reef was much shallower. A few different fish were there as well.
There was a slide for the children and the adventurous adults. Lunch was served after the first stop. Hamburger, hot dog or chicken and some side items.
Throughout the day Ryan (the videographer) took excellent underwater shots and generally just had a very pleasing demeanor. He seemed to really love his job (who wouldn't, right?)
After the second stop the bar service opened and there were crew members walking around offering refills. Talk about service! As we rounded back to the harbor the wind and waves picked up but the captain still kept the boat stable.
It was a very enjoyable snorkeling experience and I would highly recommend it.

We were picked up in front of the hotel at 6 AM and headed to the port. I was relieved to see that the boat could accommodate over 100 people and had a restroom. Twenty years ago, I participated with my mother and my two elementary school-aged children, but we were all a bit sleep-deprived and ended up getting seasick, lying down on the boat while missing the beautiful sea and fish. My son tried hard to float in the water but eventually got sick, and because we were in a spot where we shouldn't feed the fish, they gathered around, much to the delight of those who didn't know what was happening. I apologize for that.
This time, I participated again for a bit of revenge (my husband is 64, and I am 59). My husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, was reluctantly on board, but on the way to Molokini Island, he became cheerful after encountering a pod of wild dolphins, thanks to our only Japanese guide, Takako. Just as she said, "They will come to play with you," the dolphins frolicked around our boat as if leading us. I was so captivated by their cuteness that I forgot to take pictures (what a shame). When we arrived at the island, my husband, feeling good from the unexpected dolphin encounter, put on a life jacket and jumped into the sea from the boat. It was so calm that even cute foreign children were jumping into the water one after another. This time, with explanations in Japanese, I was able to snorkel well, and we spent a very happy time floating in the calm sea protected by the blue sky and the crescent-shaped island. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, with freshly grilled patties, chicken, and sausages.
Next, we went to a point where we could see sea turtles, which hadn't been available before. Again, Takako carefully spotted them, and we were lucky to take pictures of the sea turtles. We were able to return to our childhood for a while and enjoy ourselves. This trip to Maui was a celebration of my husband's retirement, and I was really glad he enjoyed it. If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it. Please say hello to Takako for me.
早朝6時にホテル前に出向かえてもらい港へ。100人以上乗船できるしトイレ付で安心しました。20年前に私,母,小学生の子供2人で参加したものの、寝不足気味だったので全員船酔いしてしまい、綺麗な海や魚たちを横目に早々、船上で横たわっていました。でも息子は頑張って海に浮かんでいましたが、とうとう吐いてしまい餌をやってはいけない場所のせいか魚たちが沢山集まってきて、ことの次第を知らない人達は大喜びでした。ゴメンナサイ。
今回はそのリベンジもあって年甲斐もなく(夫64歳、私59歳)参加しました。初ハワイの主人は渋々の参加でしたがモロキニ島へ向かう途中、唯一の日本人ガイドのタカコさんに教えてもらい野生のイルカの群れに出会うとご機嫌になりました。「こちらに遊びに来ますよ」の言葉通り私たちの船を先導するかのように戯れてきました。あまりのかわいらしさにカメラで撮ることも忘れてしまいました。(残念)島に着くとイルカとの偶然の遭遇に気を良くした夫は浮きジャケットを着けて船から海中へ。本当に穏やかなので、かわいい外国の子供たちも次々にジャンプして海へ。今回は日本語の説明でシュノーケルも上手くできたし、青い空、三ヶ月型の島に守られた静かな海に浮かんでいる私達はとても幸せな時間を過ごせました。昼食のハンバーガーも焼きたてのハンバーグ、チキン、ソーセージ、どれも美味しかった。
今度は以前はなかった海亀のポイントへ。またまた、タカコさんが注意深く見つけてくれて海亀の写真を撮ることができてラッキーでした。私達は久しぶりに童心に返り、楽しむことができました。退職のお祝いのマウイ旅行でしたが主人に喜んでもらえて本当に良かったです。またの機会がありましたら、よろしくお願いします。タカコさんによろしく。

This was a great snorkel cruise. The crew was outstanding. The Pride of Maui boat was very clean and comfortable. The food service was great. It was served in a very professional way and very appetizing. There was more than enough food to eat and drinks to drink. The alcoholic drinks when snorkeling was over were in abundance. I have been on some snorkeling cruises where you get only ONE complimentary drink. The staff members did everything in their power to make our snorkel cruise enjoyable, safe, and accommodating. In fact there was a new girl (don't know her name) it was her first day on the job and she did everything she could to please the patrons and other crew members. I definitely recommend this cruise to everyone.

There was no time wasted when anchoring for the snorkel tour. The crew knew exactly where to find the anchor (this was not the case in some of our past cruises in different islands. Don't know the name of the new girl on the crew (it was her first day) she was very beautiful, polite and cheery and did everything she could to please the other crew members and all the guests. There was enough food and drinks for everyone and access off and on the boat to go snorkeling was very easy compared to past snorkeling experiences that I have had.

We were very anxious before joining the tour since we couldn't speak English, but the Japanese instructor explained everything in Japanese, which made us feel at ease. We are truly grateful for the attention they gave us from start to finish.
As for the tour, the water clarity around Molokini Island was incredibly high, and we were able to see many colorful fish, making it an emotional experience that you can't have in Japan. We even caught a glimpse of a whale breaching for a moment. After that, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and during that time, we enjoyed delicious hamburgers for lunch. They were really tasty! They grilled the meat right in front of us, and we could customize our burgers with vegetables and sauces. The freshly grilled meat was juicy and delicious, and I was very satisfied. I'm not a big eater, but I ended up going for seconds (laughs).
Finally, regarding the sea turtles, the instructor swam with us to help find them, and when we spotted a sea turtle, it was very moving. The sea turtles were so cute. It was a tour where we could swim with sea turtles and enjoy a delicious meal, leaving us very satisfied. On the way back, we had unlimited Maui beer, and drinking beer on the boat was exceptional. When I visit Maui again, I definitely plan to join this tour once more!
英語が話せない私たちは、ツアー参加前はとても不安でしたが、日本人インストラクターの方が日本人向けに説明をしてくれて安心してツアーに参加できました。最初から最後まで私たちのことに気を配ってくださり本当に感謝しています。ツアーですが、モロキニ島では、水の透明度が本当に高く、色鮮やかな魚もたくさん見ることができ、日本では絶対体験できない感動的な海でした。また、一瞬ですがクジラが飛び跳ねているのも見ることができました。そのあと、ウミガメの泳いでいるポイントに移動するのですが、その間に昼食のハンバーガーを食べました。これが本当に美味しかったです。目の前で肉を焼いてくれてバンズに野菜とソースを自分の好みでのせて食べるのですが、お肉が焼き立てでジューシーで美味しく大満足でした。大食いではないのですが、おかわりしてしまいました(笑)最後にウミガメですが、インストラクターの方が一緒にウミガメを探して泳いでくれ、ウミガメを見つけたときはとても感動しました。ウミガメはとても可愛かったです。ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができ、美味しい食事も食べれて大満足のツアーでした。帰りにはマウイのビールも飲み放題で船上で飲むビールは格別でした。マウイ島に行った際は、また参加しようと思います!!

What a wonderful adventure! We loved this 1/2 day snorkel trip to Molokini and "Turtle Town". It took nearly 4 days to convince my husband that we should go on an organized snorkel trip. I was tired of looking for great places to snorkel and knew the cruise would provide what we were looking for. Thanks to the wonderful crew, it was one of our most memorable days in Maui. Our boat captain was fantastic and the staff did a great job explaining the days events. Everything was well organized, timely and relaxing. We can't say enough great things about the delicious meals, cold drinks(alcoholic and non-alcoholic), breathtaking views, fish and turtles! As luck would have it, we even got to see a few whales. We enjoyed the experience and look forward to doing it again. Aloha!

I was very impressed with our snorkel cruise. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice. Unfortunately, the water at Molokini was rough - so they substituted Coral Gardens instead. Turtle Town was great - saw several turtles. I liked how they posted someone over the area where best to see them - so you knew where to go. Coral Gardens was good as well. They offered wet shirts onboard for $10, which is nice if you get cold easily. They also offer Snuba for $58 - you get to do that for about 30 minutes. Best to reserve ahead as they only offer a limited number. I felt they really work hard to give you a great experience - while keeping safety in mind.

We participated on November 7th. My husband and I can hardly speak English, so we joined this tour because there was a Japanese guide. When we arrived at the port after requesting a pick-up, we found that we were the only Japanese participants, which made us quite anxious. To be honest, I was very mentally stressed and constantly nervous. However, on the boat, a woman provided us with guidance in Japanese and paid attention to us, which was a great help. She gave us a proper explanation of snorkeling and offered advice, and we were able to see sea turtles. The waters of Maui are truly beautiful, and the fish and coral reefs were so vibrant that they left a lasting impression. It had been 20 years since I last swam in the ocean, but my worries disappeared, and I was extremely satisfied. Unlike Honolulu, Maui may have fewer Japanese visitors, but if you have the chance to go, I definitely recommend participating. The waters of Maui are truly wonderful. If I have the opportunity to go to Maui again, I would love to participate once more. Thank you for the valuable experience and memories.
11月7日に参加しました。私たち夫婦は、ほとんど英語ができず、日本語案内があるということでこのツアーに参加しました。送迎をお願いし、港に到着してみると当日参加した日本人は私たち夫婦二人しかおらず、かなり不安な状態でした。っというかかなり精神的に追い込まれていて緊張しっぱなしでした。そんな中、船上で女性の方に日本語案内していただき、私たちに気を配ってもらったので大変助かりました。きちんとシュノーケリングの説明をしていただき、アドバイスもあり、海ガメにも会えることができました。マウイの海は本当にきれいで、魚も珊瑚礁も大感動するくらい目にも鮮やかでした。私は海で泳ぐことじたいが20年ぶりだったのですが、そんな不安も吹っ飛ぶくらい大変満足でした。マウイはホノルルと違って日本人が訪れることが少ないのかもしれませんが、もし行く機会があれば是非参加してみてください。マウイの海は本当に素敵です。またマウイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいです。貴重な体験そして思い出をありがとうございました。

This trip is a morning trip to Molokini and then Turtle town close to west Maui. The price is quite reasonable since it includes Cruise, continental breakfast, burger lunch, drinks with alcohol or non-alcohol, and snorkeling gears. It has snorkeling noodles and boards for those who are not good at swimming. They also have lifeguard, so pretty safe for this trip. The total snorkeling time is two hours: one hour for Molokini, and one hour for Turtle town.
Molokini is wonderful, many colorful fishes and coral reefs there. It’s the crater of a hidden volcano, of course extinct volcano.
The next stop is Turtle town, which locates close to west Maui. It’s hundreds meters off the shore. We see several turtles under the water. We followed a turtle and enjoyed swimming with it.
By the way, the scene from the cruise is fantastic. We have a broad overlook of Maui island and the valley in west Maui.

We have been on similar tours before so had some idea of what to expect. The boat was a little tricky to find (to the left of the main harbor entrance).
The crew were excellent, very professional, friendly and organised. They had a lifeguard in the water for the snorkeling, which makes this a great choice for families.
The snorkeling spots were very busy but we saw lots of great fish at Molokini, and we saw 4 turtles at turtle town.
The food was very simple, but they have a lot of people to feed so it needs to be.

I booked the west side snorkel safari online and was initially booked into the wrong time slot due to a glitch in the system. This wasn't a big deal. They were very helpful in sorting this out and assured me that they were working on fixing the glitch. The morning of the tour however, I took a taxi out to the meeting point only to be told that the trip was canceled due to high winds (it seemed calm to me, but I'm not an experienced ocean kayaker) $55 later I was back where I started. To be fair, they did try to phone me, but I did not have my phone turned on because I was trying to avoid roaming charges. I do not feel that one attempted phone call is sufficient customer service. I would have appreciated an email (this is how I had been communicating with the company from the beginning). I would suggest that anyone booking a similar tour contact the office before you leave in the morning to confirm that it will proceed as scheduled.

We participated as a couple. Thanks to the care of the Japanese staff member Miho, we had no trouble at all in Maui, where we hardly speak Japanese. The other staff members primarily spoke English, but they were very friendly and considerate, making a genuine effort to ensure we had a good time, which was quite impressive.
On the day of our participation, we were blessed with clear skies, and both snorkeling and snuba at Molokini Island had excellent visibility. I highly recommend snuba, especially for those who have no issues with equalizing while diving.
However, regarding the next point for sea turtle observation, it can be canceled if visibility is insufficient due to weather conditions up to the day before (as mentioned in the description). Unfortunately, we had to miss that part, and we ended up snorkeling at almost the same spot as before.
There were two other groups of Japanese guests besides us, but as expected, we didn't interact much with them. Instead, we became quite friendly with the foreign guests, who were very approachable.
In summary, it was a very enjoyable experience, and above all, the cheeseburger for lunch was exquisite.
夫婦で参加しました。
日本語スタッフのみほさんのケアもあって、日本語のほぼ使えないマウイでも当日困るようなことはまったくないでしょう。
基本みほさん以外のスタッフさんは英語オンリーですが、非常に気さくで、こちらを気遣ってくれますし(仕事なので当然かもしれませんが)こちらを楽しませようと努力してくれているのはかなりの好感が持てます。
参加当日は晴天に恵まれ、モロキニ島でのシュノーケル、スヌーバ共に最高の透明度でした。
とくにスヌーバは潜水時の耳抜きが問題ない方には是非にもとおススメするくらいです。
ただ、モロキニ島の次のポイント(海亀観察ができるらしい)については、前日までの天候次第で透明度が足りなかったりすると中止です。(説明文にもある)
私たちもそちらは残念ながら中止になってしまい、最初とほぼ同じポイントでのシュノーケルタイムになりました。
私たち以外の日本人客はほかに2組ありましたが、当然といえば当然か、そのかたがたとはあまり絡みませんでした。むしろ外国人の方々が非常に気さくで、そちらと仲良くなったくらいです。
総括としては、非常に楽しい思い出になりましたし、なによりお昼のチーズバーガーは絶品です。

Kayaking tour guide was friendly and informative. He gave us simple directions for basic kayaking and we did well. We followed him away from the crowd up the coast to clearer waters. Saw all kinds of fish, he pointed out a turtle, and also gave us information about the islands. Just the right amount of time. We were also given juice. One item to improve upon is cleaner snorkels as our friend found hair on hers. Although we snorkeled near our hotel and saw as many fish and turtles we enjoyed this kayaking experience.

The 6:30 AM pickup was a bit sleepy, but once I got on the boat, I woke up. Last year, when I went snorkeling on the Big Island (Captain Cook), the water wasn't very clear and the fish weren't that great, so I didn't have high expectations this year. However, at Molokini, the water was quite clear and there were plenty of fish. There were several types of fish like pipefish and butterflyfish, so I was satisfied.
After about an hour, we headed to the next sea turtle point. I was worried that the water wouldn't be very clear and that I might not see any turtles, but fortunately, I was one of the first to get into the water and quickly encountered one. Since there weren't many people yet, I was able to enjoy watching it swim leisurely. I swam here for nearly an hour, but compared to Molokini, there were fewer fish, and the main attraction was definitely the sea turtles. Just when I thought it was almost over, the guide told us there was a turtle a little further away, so I hurried over and was able to see the second one.
I realized how glad I was to join the tour since I wouldn't have known the spots on my own. On the way back, I relaxed on the boat while enjoying beer and cocktails while watching the video the crew had taken.
朝6時半のピックアップはちょっと眠たかったけど、船に乗ったら目が覚めました。
昨年ハワイ島(キャプテンクック)でシュノーケリングをしたときには、水もあまりきれいでなく魚ももう一つだったので、今年もあまり期待をしていなかったのですが、モロキニ島は、結構水もきれいで魚もたくさんいました。パイプウニヤカワハギ系の魚、チョウチョウウオも数種類いて、まあ、満足。
1時間ほどして、次のウミガメポイントへ。水はあまりきれいでなかったので、ウミガメが見れるかどうか心配だったのですが、ほぼ一番乗りで海に入ったのが幸いで、すぐに1頭に遭遇しました。まだ、あまり人がいなかったので、ゆったり泳いでいる姿を堪能できました。ここでも1時間近く泳いでいましたが、モロキニに比べ魚も少なく、やっぱり目当てはウミガメ。そろそろ終わりかという時に、少し離れたところにカメがいるとガイドの人が教えてくれたので、全速力でそちらに向かい2頭目を見ることができました。
自分ではポイントなどわからないし、ツアーに参加してよかったと思った瞬間でした。帰りの船中では、クルーが撮ったビデオを見ながらビールやカクテルを飲んでゆったりできました。

I would give this 4 1/2 stars! My husband and I ended up getting a private tour because no one else signed up! Our guide was great (didn't give name)-he constantly was bringing things back up to the surface to show us and was very knowledgable about anything we asked about. I had a very personal and special experience with a female turtle while snorkeling and we saw some while kayaking, but I thought we would see more at the turtle cleaning station. Would recommend this to anyone with experience. The total time was good but we wish it could have been a little longer-our guide didn't want us to be on choppy waters. Our tour was around 3 hrs. They provide you with snacks and water. Our guide was snapping pictures for us and will e-mail them to us for free! Can't wait to see them! Mahalo to our guide and this company!!
Tip: After you are done, ask your guide about the Jaws Food Truck-delicious fish tacos and burritos with snacks and smoothies!

Had mechanical problems before our scheduled time and we got started 15 minutes late but still got back in time for the next group to go. Didn't get the full hour. Saw some fish but not as many as expected. Saw more fish snorkeling. Was interesting to have someone show and tell what creatures were there.
