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＞

Molokini Island! モロキニ島！

Reviewed by: カメに会いたい

I had wanted to go snorkeling at Molokini Crater for a long time, but I never had the chance until now. This time, I decided to take the plunge and signed up for this tour.

When I arrived at the meeting point in the morning, a Japanese staff member was waiting, and I completed the check-in process. We took a commemorative photo (which was available for purchase after disembarking, but not many people bought it), and I was able to enjoy some coffee there as well. After boarding the boat and securing my seat, we gathered on the first floor for a briefing. The staff spoke a bit quickly, but it was reassuring to have someone from Japan there.

Upon arriving at Molokini, we put on our fins and entered the water. At first, I was scared, but the water was clear and beautiful, and I saw many fish. I gradually got used to it and started having fun. I was also able to see turtles and dolphins, which was very moving. However, it was disappointing to see someone chasing a turtle aggressively just to take photos.

After returning to the boat for lunch, we headed to the next turtle spot, but it was murky, and I couldn't see many fish. It was supposed to be a turtle spot, but I didn't see any turtles at all.

Having experienced the beautiful sea earlier, my excitement dropped a bit, but it couldn't be helped. I thought it would have been better to go to the turtle spot after Molokini.

Many people didn't see turtles during the snorkeling, and we ended by searching for turtles swimming in the sea. The staff was friendly, so I had a very enjoyable time.

以前からモロキニ島のシュノーケルがしたかったものの、なかなか機会がなかったのですが、今回は思い切ってこちらのツアーに申し込み、参加することにしました。

朝、集合場所に到着すると、日本人のスタッフが待機しており、手続きを済ませました。
記念写真を撮ってもらい（下船してから販売していましたが、買っている人はあまりいませんでした。）、そこでコーヒーも飲めました。
船内に乗り込み、座席を確保したら、１階に集合して説明を受けます。
スタッフは少し早口でしたが、日本の方がいるというだけで安心しました。

モロキニ島に到着すると、足ひれなどを装着して海へ。
最初は恐かったのですが、海が透き通っていてきれいで魚もたくさん見れ、段々慣れてきて楽しくなりました。カメやイルカも見ることができ、とても感動しました。
ただ、写真を撮りたいがためにカメをすごい勢いで追いかけている人がいて残念でした。

船に戻り、ランチを食べ、次のカメスポットに向かったのですが、こちらは濁っていてあまりお魚も見れず、カメスポットのはずが全くカメも見えませんでした。

先にきれいな海を体験した後だったので、少しテンションが下がりましたが、仕方がありません。
カメスポットに行ってから、モロキニに行った方がいいのにな～と思いました。

シュノーケル中にはカメが見れなかった人が多く、最後に海で泳いでいるカメを探して終了。
フレンドリーなスタッフだったので、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

Reviewed by: Delaware

A friend of mine recommended the Molokini Snorkel & Turtle Town Cruise. It was a first for all of us snorkeling and the crew set aside time to tell us what we needed to know. They did an excellent job and made sure they stayed close to the children. All equipment needed was available and demonstrated. The continental breakfast and lunch were very good and arranged in an appealing manner. The crew was very attentive to everyone on board. We had a great time and when we return, will definitely do it again....

It was too windy to go to Molokini so the boat took us to coral gardens. The staff was very friendly, underwater cameras available to rent for only 30$ with your pictures burned onto a cd for free. The lunch was very yummy and the boat was nicer than some of the others. I would recommend this snorkeling trip over others.

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

Afternoon snorkel WILL be Coral Gardens

Reviewed by: Michele

Correction: There have only been TWO afternoon snorkels in YEARS to Molokini. Due to the winds, they don't go out there in the afternoon. Coral Gardens is in a very windy location. Be prepared to be bopped up and down. A LOT. A much better location where you can see so many more different varieties of fish, and it won't cost you a dime, is Honokahua Bay. Northwest area. The coral is breathtaking, many many more beautiful colored fish to see. Turtles are there so you can snorkel with them as well.

If we got to do-over, our group voted to snorkel on our own in Honokahua Bay. The "glassbottom" portion of the catamaran was closed, so forget it. The lunch they cooked was awesome! But you can get an awesome lunch at any restaurant,right?

Skip the Snuba. Waste of money.

Not impressed with the views from this harbor. Pick a snorkel that departs from the northwest for better island views.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ スヌーバ体験付きプランあり＜英語ガイド／朝・昼食＞

It's a bit difficult for children. 子どもにはちょっと難しい

Reviewed by: マハロッチ

We were excited to try snuba for the first time as a family of five, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and one of the kids ended up with severe seasickness, so we couldn't really enjoy it in the end.

Both my husband and I can speak some English, so we thought we would be fine without a Japanese guide. However, we couldn't keep up with the explanations and jokes about snuba due to the loud engine noise on the boat, and we regretted that decision.

The visibility of the fish wasn't as good as we had hoped, and we were imagining schools of fish around coral reefs like we saw in the Philippines, so it didn't reach the level of being impressive for us. I think it would have been the same with snuba. (However, there were participants who were amazed, so this is a subjective impression.)

Also, the seawater was quite cold, and we felt very chilly after getting back on the boat, so thick towels and warm clothing are essential.

On a positive note, we finally got to see a sea turtle from the boat towards the end, which was rewarding! It was adorable.

So, for us, the satisfaction level wasn't very high this time, but that doesn't mean the tour itself was bad.

The staff were really kind, cheerful, and cool, and they were considerate of our seasick daughter, which made our experience very pleasant. Other participants also seemed to be having a great time.

If you're not worried about English and seasickness, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!

スヌーバに初挑戦しようと張り切って家族５人で参加しましたが、船がかなり揺れたため、子どもの一人がひどい船酔いになってしまって、結局それどころではありませんでした。

夫も私もある程度の英語はできるし、日本語のガイドさんがいなくても大丈夫かな？と思って参加したのですが、スヌーバの説明やジョークなど、エンジンの音がうるさい船上では全くついていけず後悔しました。

期待したほどに魚影も濃くなく、フィリピンで見た様なサンゴ礁に群がる魚群を想像していた私たちにとっては、感動というレベルではありませんでした。
スヌーバでも、それは同じだったのではないかと思います。
（でも、参加者の中には、スゴイ！と感激している人もいました。これは主観的な感想なので、なんともいえません）

また海水が結構冷たくて、船に上がってからとても寒かったので、厚手のバスタオルや防寒着は必携です。

でも、ウミガメには、終わりがけにやっと船の上から会うことができたので、報われました♪可愛かったです。


今回、そんな訳で、私たちにとってはあまり満足度は高くありませんでしたが、ツアー自体が悪かったわけでは決してありません。

スタッフのみなさんは本当に親切で明るく恰好よく、船酔いした娘にも気遣ってくれたり、とても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。ほかの参加者もみんな楽しそうでした。

英語と船酔いに心配がない方であれば、きっと楽しめると思います！

This is a recommended tour where you can experience the kindness of many local people. 現地の人のたくさんの親切に接せられるおすすめツアーです

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was a bit anxious, but I rented a car and drove from Kaanapali. Since it was a straightforward route, I arrived without getting lost. (Of course, I did my research beforehand.) There were plenty of parking spaces available.

We were the only Japanese couple on board, and it was an English-speaking environment. However, the crew members were very kind and cheerful. Even though I didn't understand the explanations at all, I was able to participate in the tour without any issues. While I think tours with Japanese guides are great, I also felt that tours led by locals allow you to fully enjoy the overseas experience, which was wonderful. I truly appreciated all the thoughtful gestures from the crew.

We went snorkeling at Molokini. We did snuba at the turtle spot. (You can choose where to go for each activity.) Molokini had really high visibility, and there were plenty of fish, which was very impressive. The turtle spot was murkier compared to Molokini, but it was truly wonderful to swim alongside the turtles.

During the voyage, there was a moment when a fish hit the fishing rod on the boat, and the crew worked together to reel it in, which was exciting. The meals, including fruits and sandwiches, were delicious. (＾＾) We took motion sickness medication before the trip, and the boat didn't rock much, so I was fine with seasickness. (I can't say for sure if I would have been okay if I had stayed on the boat the whole time, but I was having so much fun swimming around...)

I was initially worried about renting a car overseas and joining a tour without any Japanese participants, but I'm really glad I participated. It turned out to be a great opportunity for us, who have little overseas experience, to gain valuable experience.

I highly recommend this tour where you can interact with many kind Americans. I would love to participate again.

不安でしたが、レンタカーを借りて、カアナパリから自分で運転して行きました。１本道なので、迷うことなく到着できました。（もちろん下調べはきちんとしておきました。）駐車場もたくさんありました。

日本人は私たち夫婦だけで、英語だけが飛び交う船上でした。けれど、船員の方たちが非常に親切で明るく、説明は全く分かりませんでしたが、問題なくツアーに参加することができました。日本人ガイドがいらっしゃるツアーもいいと思いますが、現地だけの人のツアーも、海外に行った気分を満喫できてまたいいものだなぁと思いました。船員の方々のたくさんのお気遣いが本当にうれしかったです。

モロキニ島でシュノーケリング。ウミガメスポットでスヌーバをしました。（どちらでどれをやるかは選択できます。）
モロキニ島は本当に透明度が高くて、魚もいて、とっても感動しました。ウミガメスポットは、モロキニに比べて濁っていましたが、亀と一緒に泳げて本当によかったです。

航海途中、船の釣り竿に魚がヒットして、船員で協力して釣り上げる場面もあって盛り上がりました。
食事もフルーツやサンドイッチなどおいしかったです。（＾＾）
私たちのときは酔い止めを呑んで行ったし、船もあまり揺れず、船酔いも大丈夫でした。（船にずっととどまっていたらわかりませんが、楽しくてどんどん泳いでいたもので・・・）

海外でレンタカーを借りて・・・日本人のいないツアーで・・・と不安もありましたが、参加して本当によかったです。海外経験の少ない私たちにとっていい経験値を積む機会にもなったのかなと大満足です。

アメリカ人のたくさんの親切に接することができるおすすめのツアーです。
また参加したいです。

I guess this is it. こんなもんかな

Reviewed by: たのしんぼ

I went to the parking lot by rental car. The map I searched for on the internet for this tour was very confusing, and I got lost. Moreover, it was quite far from the boat. When I finally reached the boarding area, there was still plenty of space in the parking lot, which made me feel ridiculous. Since there is a parking lot at the boarding area, I recommend that those using this tour go directly to the site.

On the day of the tour, there were only four of us Japanese in our group. However, a Japanese female staff member provided detailed explanations, which was reassuring. Since we couldn't land on Molokini Island, it felt more like a snorkeling tour next to a pile of rocks. There weren't many fish to be impressed by, and depending on the weather, we couldn't stay in the water long enough to encounter turtles. In my case, I gave up due to the cold and got out. So, I only saw a few fish before it was over. Snorkeling in Miyako Island was definitely better. For me, there won't be a repeat visit.

レンアタカーで駐車場まで行きました。このツアーのネッッで検索した地図はとても判りにくくて迷い、しかも船とだいぶ離れた場所・・上船場所まで行くとそこには、まだまだパーキング場に余裕にあり、馬鹿らしい気分になりました。乗船場に駐車場があるので、このツアーを利用される方は現場まで行きましよう。
当日は日本人は自分達のグループ４人だけでした。でも日本人の女性スタッフが細かく説明して下さるので安心です。モロキニ島は上陸できないので、岩の塊の横でシュノーケリングした感じのツアーです。魚はそんなに感動するほどは居ないし、天気によっては亀に出会えるまで水中には居られません。私の場合は寒さに負けて諦めて上がりました。なので、少し魚をみておしまいでした。宮古島のシュノーケリングの方が断然良かった。わたしの場合はリピートはありません。

The water was crystal clear and we saw tons of fish. After Molokini, we had a BBQ lunch that was grilled on board and delicious! It was a full tour but luckily there was tons of open seating on the top deck, which was awesome. I also chose to SNUBA and that was AMAZING!

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Superb Crew Hospitality & Premium snorkeling spots in Maui

Reviewed by: O&Y

The Crew aboard the Aqua Adventure are 2nd to NONE. Each and every member was awake and energetic at 6:30a and very hospitable from the moment we were in line reading the waivers. They were very respectful and helpful in every manner; they safely stored our shoes then firmly held our hands and arms to help us securely board the boat and engaged in getting to know us as they picked out the perfect snorkeling gear sizes for us. The Boat as well as Snorkeling instructions from the Captain were very informative yet personable with some light humor. At both snorkeling spots 1-2 of the crew members voluntarily guided us to the best snorkeling spots if we wanted to follow and showed us the largest sea turtles we have ever seen as well as an octopus and a starfish! The boat speaks for itself with the 2 350hp Cummings Diesel engines that made powering thru the fast wind from the North a piece of cake. Other tours had to take a much longer detour to get back due to the lack of horsepower

Reviewed by: olive_isl

On March 29, 2013, I went with my family of three (10-year-old boy). We were able to see quite a few spouts here and there and encountered more whales than we expected. Thanks to the captain searching for various spots, we were able to see them frequently, which was moving. Of course, we were also able to take pictures of tails and jumps. I brought my EOS Kiss X6i with a 135mm lens, but for more impactful photos, a 300mm lens might be better.

It was quite windy on the water, making it very cold, so a jacket is essential. The boat also swayed a lot, so preparation and readiness are necessary. However, my wife, who usually gets seasick, was able to enjoy the tour without any issues. We drove directly to the meeting point (Lahaina Dock) with a rental car. There is free street parking for up to three hours, but considering our plans to explore Lahaina afterward, we parked in a public lot ($16 for 2-6 hours). Since it was an early morning plan, both options were available, but it might be difficult to find parking nearby if you go later in the day.

2013/3/29に家族３人（10歳/男）で行ってきました。
結構あちらこちらで潮吹きが見られ、思ったより沢山のクジラに遭遇することができました。
キャプテンが色々とスポットを探してくれたせいか、ポンポン見れる感じで、感動しました。
もちろん、シッポやジャンプの写真もとることができました。
EOS-KissX6i+135mmのセットを持っていきましたが、迫力ある写真を撮ろうとすると300mmくらいあったほうが良いかもしれません。
海上は風があって、かなり寒いので、上着が必須なのと、かなり船が揺れるため、準備と覚悟が必要です。ただし、船に弱い妻も、船酔いすることなくツアーを楽しむことができました。
我が家はレンタカーで直接集合場所（ラハイナドック）に行きました。
３時間まで無料の路上Pもありますが、その後のラハイナ散策も考慮して公共Pに車を駐車しました。（2-6Hで$16）早朝プランだったので、どちらも空いていましたが、遅い時間だと近場に駐車スペースを見つけるのに苦労するかもしれません。

Additionally, although there were mostly foreigners and only about ten Japanese guests, during lunch, they arranged for us to be in the best position and at the best timing, allowing us to be first in line and enjoy our meal.

It was quite windy and cold on the boat, so a jacket is necessary. Still, taking pictures of the whales is quite challenging.

Since it's my first time visiting Maui in winter, I definitely wanted to go whale watching, but I wasn't confident in my English, so I joined this tour where a Japanese staff member would be on board.

When I arrived at Lahaina Harbor, I was surprised by the crowd of people. It was a bit difficult to find the tour desk, but after checking in and sitting on a bench, Satomi, the staff member, approached us. Since we were the only Japanese people there, she stayed with us the whole time, sharing lots of information about whales, which felt like a great deal.

Of course, we saw plenty of whales; they were splashing their tails everywhere, and three of them swam right alongside the boat, which made for a very satisfying whale watching experience. The pizza place that Satomi recommended was also delicious.

I participated in a whale watching tour in late January with my sixth-grade son. We traveled all the way to Maui to show him whales, which are hard to see in Japan, in person.

The boat was large enough to accommodate over 100 people, but there were only a few passengers that day, with four Japanese and a few foreigners on the first floor, allowing for a comfortable seating arrangement. A Japanese guide was also on board, providing detailed explanations.

Before boarding, I was filled with anxiety about whether we would actually see any whales, but shortly after setting sail, we spotted whale spouts in various directions. The captain steered the boat toward them, and we quickly arrived near the whales.

After that, we could see whales all around us without even having to search, and I was able to capture their trademark cute tails on camera. It seems that around February to early March, about 4,000 whales come close to Maui.

Of course, my son was also thrilled with the impressive whales. The two-hour boat ride passed by much quicker than I expected, and I didn’t even have time to feel seasick.

During the cruise, we received a ticket that could be exchanged for either two drinks or a drink and a dessert or snack. I think the cost performance is excellent.

I highly recommend whale watching in Maui during the winter!

一月下旬にホエールウォッチングに参加させていただきました。小6の息子との二人旅。日本では　なかなか見ることのできないクジラを生で見せてあげたくて　マウイ島まで渡りました。
100人以上乗れる大きな船でしたが、その日は乗客も少なめで一階には日本人が4人と外国人が数人で椅子もゆったり。船には　日本人のガイドの方も一緒に乗っていただいたので
詳しい説明も聞けました。
乗るまでは、本当にクジラが見えるかどうか不安がいっぱいでしたが、出航して間もなくクジラの潮が沖のあちこちに見えました。　船長さんが　その方向に舟を走らせます。
あっという間に　クジラの近くに到着。
そのあとは、探さなくても　四方八方にクジラが見えてトレードマークのかわいい尻尾も　ちゃんとカメラに収めることができました。
大体二月から三月の頭くらいは　約4000頭のクジラがマウイ島の近くにやってくるそうです。
もちろん息子も　迫力満点のクジラに大満足。
二時間の船は　思ったよりあっという間に過ぎてしまい、船酔いする間もありませんでした。
クルージング中に　ドリンク二杯か　ドリンクとスイーツ、スナックのいづれかと交換できるチケットももらえます。
コストパフォーマンスは　最高だと思います。
冬のマウイ島でのホエールウォッチング、お勧めです。

Turtle Town & Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch - Aloha Blue Charters

This Excursion does NOT Disappoint

Reviewed by: Happy in Paradise

We take this excursion to Molikini and Turtle Island every time we visit Maui. The crew of the catamaran, Capt Fish, David and Gary were amazing. They kept us safe, hydrated with water (or adult beverages), and made sure everyone that got in the water, got out of the water.

They also had a professional photographer who made sure everyone had a grand time, and preserved it on a CD you will not believe. The colors light up and we are glad he was along. We didn't have to worry about taking pictures.

We saw lots of whales, beautiful fish, but were a bit short on the turtles.

The selection of meats, cheeses and salad for lunch were a surprise. The sandwiches were easy to assemble, the bread was fresh, and it was just really good.

Go and enjoy!

冬季限定！ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～4月／英語ガイド／ラハイナ港発＞

I was able to see a lot! いっぱい見られました！

Reviewed by: さえ

When it comes to traveling to Maui, whale watching is a must. I had heard that you could see them from the shore, but I thought it would be better to see them up close from a boat, so I made a reservation.

After about an hour of heading out to sea, we stopped the engine and waited for the whales. Before long, two whales appeared near the boat. I was thrilled to see their beautiful tails up close, just like in the catalogs. My wife and kids were busy taking photos.

Over the course of about 30 minutes, the whales appeared around the boat multiple times, allowing us to observe them closely.

The guide was very knowledgeable about the whales, pointing out when the same whale returned by recognizing its tail and sharing information about the ecosystem. They were also kind to the kids, making it a very enjoyable experience.

マウイ島への旅行といえばホエールウォッチング。
海岸からも見られると聞いていましたが、船の方が近くから見えると思い、予約しました。

1時間ほど沖へ進んだところでエンジンを停止してくじらを待ちます。
しばらくすると船の近くに2頭が現れます。
カタログでみるようなきれいな尾びれが間近で見られで大感激。妻も子供もひたすら写真を撮ってました。

30分ほどの間に船の周りに何度も現れてくれ、じっくり見ることができました。

ガイドさんはクジラにとても詳しく、尾びれを見てまた同じクジラがきたよとか、また、生態系の話しを教えてくれました。
子供にも親切にしてくれ、とても楽しかったです。

You can definitely see whales! 確実に鯨に会える！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since I have a small child, I decided to take this cruise ship where we could see whales on a large boat. I was thrilled to see dozens of whales. I requested a Japanese interpreter, and while the interpreter joined us on board, the amount of information provided was far less than the announcements in English. I had to ask the interpreter questions to get answers. I wished they could translate the English announcements directly. Other than that, I was very satisfied.

小さい子がいるので、大きな船で鯨に会えるというこちらのクルーズ船に乗船することにしました。何十匹もの鯨に会えて、感激です。日本人の通訳さんのリクエストをしたところ、通訳さんが乗船してくれたのですが、情報量としては、英語でのアナウンスに遠く及びません。自分から通訳さんに質問して、答えてもらうようにしないといけません。英語のアナウンスをそのまま通訳してもらえればいいのにな、と思いました。それ以外は大満足です。

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＞

The weather was great and it felt amazing! 天気に恵まれサイコーに気持ち良かった！

Reviewed by: ばうかある

Every December, I go to a remote island to enjoy snorkeling trips, but the weather is often bad during this time. However, this time the weather was fantastic, and we were able to relax comfortably on the deck of the boat.

There were some rough waves, so one person got seasick and had to sit down, but since they are generally weak on boats, there's not much you can do about that. The snorkeling at Molokini Island has excellent water clarity, but... although I wasn't expecting much, I was still disappointed by the lack of coral and fish. Having experienced Okinawa, the Maldives, and Palau, I can't help but compare.

At the turtle spot, there were several turtles, and I even encountered one that was floating while mating. However, the visibility there wasn't great, and there were no fish at all. Our group was the only Japanese people there.

Our guide, Takako, was friendly and cheerful, which made our experience enjoyable and comfortable. My father, who couldn't go into the water, was also satisfied because the weather was nice.

毎年１２月には離島に行きシュノーケルトリップを楽しみますがこの時期は天候が悪いことも多いです。しかし今回はすっごく良いお天気で船のデッキで気持ち良くすごせました。
少し波が荒かったため１名だけ船酔いしダウンしましたがもともと船に弱いためこればっかりは仕方ないですね。
モロキニ島のシュノーケルは海の透明度は抜群ですが・・・期待していなかったもののやっぱり珊瑚や魚が少なく残念でした。沖縄やモルディブ・パラオを体験してるのでそれと比べてしまいます。カメがいるスポットには何匹もいて交尾しながら浮いてくるカメにも遭遇しました。ただここは透明度は良くありませんし全く魚はいません。
日本人は私達グループのみでした。
ガイドのタカコさんは気さくで天真爛漫。おかげでこちらも楽しく快適に過ごせました。
海に入れない父も天気が良かったので満足していました。
