This was great for our family trip to Maui with my 2-year-old daughter. Obviously bringing her restricted us to do only a selected activities, but we're glad that we got to do this. She loved it! Highly recommended to those families with small children!

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

Won't You Take me to... Turtle Town

Reviewed by: Jared

Definitely do the Snuba! We was so many turtles at the second dive site. The first site was great for getting used to Snuba and seeing some interesting fish. One of the kids from the family on board with us saw a shark even!

There were so many turtles at the "cleaning stations" for the second dive site. They were popping up to breathe near the boat before we even got in the water! We got underwater cameras on the boat as well. The diver guiding us through the snuba snapped some closeup pictures of the turtles for us! Such a great experience!

The crew was fantastic. It was a smaller boat, so it wasn't like a cattle call getting on and off the boat. The captain even went out of his way on the way back so that we could see some whales! We got to see 6 whales total on the trip! Great experience! Great crews! I couldn't recommend this particular tour enough. Tremendous value for the money and a crew that was so much fun!

The meeting place was a bit hard to find, but once we did, it was worth it. It took a while to spot a whale, but once we found one, we were able to stay close to it for about 10 to 20 minutes. As we got more comfortable, the whale even approached the boat, allowing us to see it up close.

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Would definitely do this again...

Reviewed by: Kristi

This was one of my and my husbands favorite things we did our first time out to Hawaii. We were thrilled we were in whale infested waters and it was super cool to have the whales literally swimming under us, as we saw and heard them. It was awesome one whale swam right under our guide (Griff) who got amazing photos of the whole experience!

Would definitely do this again during whale season! Snorkeling to see the green sea turtles was amazing too. And all by getting a little exercise, rowing. Nice!

Thanks Griff and South Pacific Kayak!

I didn't expect to see so many whales. I was worried about seasickness, so I opted for a whale watching tour on a relatively large boat. I imagined that on a big boat tour, I would see the whales from a distance, so I was amazed to see them up close! I was filled with surprise and emotion. Although the announcements were in English, there was a Japanese staff member who was very considerate and attentive. I highly recommend this tour.

こんなにたくさんのクジラにあえると思っていませんでした。
船酔いを心配して比較的大きな船のホエールウォッチングを希望し、このツアーにしました。大きな船のツアーでは遠くからクジラを見る想像をしてましたので、こんなに近くで見れるとは!驚きと感動でいっぱいです。

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>

Reasonable! リーズナブル!

Reviewed by: choir

On a clear day, I departed from Lahaina Harbor and participated in a whale watching tour. Due to regulations, we couldn't get within 100 feet of the whales, so we didn't encounter any big dives like you see in photos, but we were able to see quite a few. While you can see the whales from land as well, I think this tour is very reasonably priced for what you get:
- Guided by a Japanese-speaking guide
- Includes drinks and snacks
- Over 2-hour cruise

快晴の天候の中、ラハイナハーバーから出発し、ホエール・ウォッチングツアーに参加しました。
規則で鯨には100フィート以内には近づけないため、なかなか写真で見るようなビッグダイブに遭遇することはできませんでしたが、かなりの数を見ることができました。
鯨自体は陸地からも遠目で見ることはできますが、この値段で、
・日本人ガイド付き
・飲み物、スナック付き
・2時間超のクルーズ
はとってもリーズナブルなツアーだと思います。

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Kayak/Snorkel

Reviewed by: AmyCat

This excursion was worth the money spent. My new husband had never snorkeled before so it was nice to have an experienced guide teach us how to do it. The Kayaking portion was nice and good exercise while we got to go out further than we would have without the kayaks. The guide, Steve, knew tremendous amounts about the area, ocean, animal life and more. He was helpful and funny throughout the entire experience. It was great to see turtles in and out of the water, an octopus, urchins, as well as schools of fish. Small group, us and a family, which the made the experience that much more intimate and special.

Snorkel & Kayak: A Good Combination

Reviewed by: AKVisitor

Kayaking is a great way to observe different snorkeling sites. Lots of friendly sea turtles and was able to hear the songs of the humpback whales. Would have liked to see more varieties of fish. For a kayaker used to a 1-person boat, the 2-person kayak was more limiting. Our guide provided a lot of information about the sea life in the area. It was very informational. Overall a good day.

I saw a sea turtle! ウミガメ見た~

Reviewed by: マウイ好き

It was great to see the elegantly swimming sea turtles up close, which were actually quite larger than I imagined. It felt like I was swimming alongside them while snorkeling.

I also challenged myself with snuba, and although I struggled a bit, it was wonderful to experience the fish and underwater scenery that you can't see with just snorkeling.

My wife seemed to struggle with seasickness, but TAKAKO was very kind and supportive, which was a big help. Having Japanese staff really brings a sense of安心.

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

想像より結構大きかった優雅に泳ぐウミガメを間近で見ることができ良かったです。スノケーリングしながら一緒に泳いでいるかのようでした。

またスヌーバにもチャレンジし、少しうまくできませんでしたが、スノーケリングだけでは見えない魚や海の中を体験でき良かったです。

妻は船酔いをしてしまいつらかったようですが、TAKAKOさんが優しく声をかけてくれ大変助かりました。
やはり日本人スタッフが居ると安心ですね。

I was able to swim with a sea turtle. ウミガメと一緒に泳げました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Swimming with sea turtles in the crystal-clear sea was the best! We were able to see three sea turtles. Having a Japanese guide made it easy to enjoy ourselves on Maui, even though Japanese is not widely understood there. After all, since it’s a tour where you entrust your life, it would have been really anxiety-inducing if there was a language barrier. However, there were some people feeling a bit queasy from seasickness, so it might not be enjoyable for those who are prone to it.

何と言っても、透明度の高い海でウミガメと一緒に泳げたのが最高!!3匹のウミガメを確認できました。日本人ガイドさんがいてくれるので、日本語がほとんど通じないマウイ島でも、安心して楽しめました。やはり、命を預けるツアーなので、言葉が通じないと、ちょー不安だったと思います。でも、船酔いでダウン気味の人たちもいたので、船酔いしやすい人には楽しめないかもしれません。

Do not miss out on this experience!

We had the time of our lives! We were on our honeymoon and I had no experience, my husband had very little. The crew members made this so enjoyable. They called all of us by our names, they made sure we were having fun and comfortable. They took the time to explain everything to us and answer any questions. The experience was amazing, the fish and coral were spectacualar. We even saw a reef shark! Exciting! We always felt safe and had a blast. Anne didn't give up on me when I had a hard time getting used to snuba diving, quickly she had me down enjoying the adventure. They were so funny and everyone had a great time.

We participated as a family. The Japanese staff member, Takako, explained everything very thoroughly, which allowed us to smoothly enjoy snorkeling together. We were satisfied to see three sea turtles, but the water temperature was lower than we expected, and the kids quickly got cold and wanted to come back up. I recommend that everyone bring a rash guard and rent a wetsuit when you participate.

I was surprised by the clarity of the ocean! 海の透明度にビックリ!

Reviewed by: keikoala

I participated with my 12-year-old son on March 24, 2010. Although we had snorkeling experience in Oahu, it was our first time in Maui. The boat for this tour was large and impressive, unlike the smaller boats we had in Oahu, and my son didn't get seasick.

There were only two Japanese families participating, including us, so there was just one Japanese staff member. However, they were very attentive and provided us with timely information, allowing us to act smoothly and enjoy the activities.

The water clarity at Molokini exceeded our expectations. You could almost see the seabed from the surface! While there weren't an overwhelming number of fish, we still had a good time. We also moved to a spot where turtles were supposed to be, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any.

From a Japanese perspective, it gets quite cold when you come out of the water, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear on top. The meeting place, Ma'alaea Harbor, can also be windy and chilly in the morning.

3/24,2010に12歳の息子と二人で参加しました。オアフ島でのシュノーケリング経験はあったものの、マウイは初めてでした。オアフでは船というよりボートでしたが、このツアーの船は大きく立派で、息子も船酔いをせずに済みました。

今回参加の日本人は私たち親子と、もう一組の親子連れだけでしたので日本人のスタッフは一人だけでしたが、細やかに気を使って下さり、早め早めの情報を頂けたのでスムーズに行動が出来、アクティビティを楽しむことができました。

モロキニの水の透明度は聞きしに勝るものでした。水面から海底が見える!と言ってもいいくらいの透明度です。
魚は、驚くほど沢山はいませんでしたが、楽しめました。
また、亀のいる場所へ移動してシュノーケリングをしましたが、残念ながら私たちは見ることができませんでした。

日本人の体感だと、水からあがるとかなり寒いので、上に着るものは準備していった方がいいと思います。

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>

We had a great time as a family of three. 家族3人で楽しめました。

Reviewed by: ぺんちきん

According to the Maui Tourism Board's website, the tour was estimated to take about 4 hours, which made my wife and daughter hesitant due to concerns about seasickness. However, since the tour guides mentioned it would only take 2 hours, we decided to join the Lahaina cruise. In the end, I think 2 hours was just right. Thanks to the season at the end of March, we spotted whales about 15 minutes after departure and were able to see around 20 whales in total, including a mother and calf that we observed closely for about 30 minutes. (Most were just visible in the distance, but I believe the situation wouldn't change much even if the duration were longer.)

I actually intended to bring binoculars but forgot them. Interestingly, neither the crew nor any participants had them either. I thought that since visibility would be limited while searching, there might not be many opportunities to use them.

The boat we were on was a stable catamaran, and while it felt stable when moving, when the engine was turned off to observe the whales, the small width of the boat made it susceptible to rolling waves, which could cause side-to-side motion. If you're prone to seasickness, it might be wise to take some medication beforehand (my wife said she was glad she did).

Additionally, parking in Lahaina can be challenging, so if you're participating by rental car, I recommend arriving early in the morning or a bit ahead of time (there were plenty of parking spots if you moved a little away from the bay).

In summary, I’m glad we participated! It was fun! I hope this helps.

マウイ観光局のHPをみると4H程度となっていたため、船酔いを気にする妻と娘はしぶっていたが、観光ガイドなどでは2Hのツアーとなっていたこともあり、ラハイナクルーズに参加することにした。結果、2Hで十分だったと思う。3月末のシーズンのおかげか、出航して15分程度でクジラを確認することが出来、ひと組の親子クジラをじっくり見た30分程度含めて都合20匹くらいは確認出来た。(ほとんどが遠くの海上にいるのが確認できる程度だが、時間が長くても、たいして状況は変わらないと思う)
実は、双眼鏡を持っていこうと思いながら忘れてしまったのだが、クルーを始め、参加者も誰も持っていなかった。探す際に視界が狭くなるのは邪魔なので、あまり活躍するタイミングはないかもしれないと思った。
また、乗った船は、揺れに強い双胴船だったが、確かに、
自走しているときは安定感強いが、クジラを観察するために、エンジンを切っている際には、横幅小さい船だと上下になる波の揺れが、左右の揺れになるので、左右の揺れに弱い人は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいたほうがよいかもしれない。(妻は飲んで良かったと言っていた)
あと、ラハイナは駐車スペースに難があるので、レンタカーで参加される方は早朝or早めの到着(湾からちょっと離れれば止める場所はいくらでもあった)を心がけるとよいと思います。
最後に、ひとことで言うと、参加して良かった!楽しかった!です。
ご参考まで。
