I had a great time with Takako and the crew, who were bright and friendly. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the honu (some people did), but I was very satisfied. I was impressed by Takako's hospitality!

The tour was supposed to include two snorkeling spots, but in reality, we only visited one, and we couldn't go to the spot where we could see turtles. The weather on the day was clear.

As for my experience snorkeling at Molokini Island, the sea was relatively beautiful, but there weren't many types of fish, and I couldn't help but compare it to Okinawa and other islands in Japan, which left me a bit disappointed.

However, the local staff were very accommodating, the food was delicious, and the unlimited drinks made the tour more reasonable than I expected.

I was able to figure out the parking location by looking at everyone's reviews. I think it would be helpful for the operating site to provide a bit more detailed information.

ツアー内容はシュノーケルスポットを2箇所まわるということでしたが、実際は1箇所のみで、カメの見れるスポットには行けませんでした。当日の天気は晴天でした。

モロキニ島でのシュノーケル体験での感想としては、海はそれなりに綺麗ですがあまり魚の種類もいなく、沖縄や日本の離島とどうしても比較してしまい少し期待外れでした。

しかし、現地スタッフの方の対応もよく、食事も美味しかったですし、お酒も飲み放題だったので思ったよりツアーとしてはリーズナブルだと思います。

駐車場の場所は、皆さんの口コミをみて把握できました。運営サイトとして、もう少し詳細を具体的にしてあげると良いのではないかと思います。

It was the best tour!
最高のツアーでした!
Activity Date: 2025/05/10 | Posted on: 2025/05/12

We participated as a couple in our 60s. We were the only Japanese participants among many others, from small children to elderly people, and it was an incredibly fun and fulfilling tour packed with activities according to the schedule.

As soon as we boarded, breakfast was served on the ship, followed by cruising, snorkeling around Molokini Island, more cruising, lunch, and snorkeling around Kihei. It felt like a full day tour, and we were able to see fish and turtles, making it an unforgettable experience.

Additionally, as many others have shared in their testimonials, we were deeply moved by the kind and attentive service from the Japanese staff, Takako and Kana. Their consideration for us as Japanese participants, as well as for the other participants, was outstanding, making it a very pleasant and enjoyable tour. Thank you so much for this truly wonderful experience!

60才夫婦で参加しました。日本人は私達のみで小さいお子さんからご年配の方までたくさんの参加者で、スケジュール通り盛りだくさんの内容でとっても楽しい最高のツアーでした。

乗船してすぐ船内に朝食があり、クルージング、モロキニ島周辺シュノーケリング、クルージング、ランチ、キヘイ周辺シュノーケリング、お魚も亀も見れた、5時間とは思えない満喫した1日ツアーのようでした。

また、他の方の体験談にもたくさんありますが、日本人スタッフのタカコさんとカナさんの心優しい細やかなアテンドに感動しました。日本人の私達へのお気遣いはもちろん、その他の参加者への気配りも素晴らしく、気持ちの良いとっても楽しいツアーでした。
本当に楽しい体験をどうもありがとうございました!

Not only the whales, but also the vast ocean scenery was impressive!
クジラのみならず、広大な海景色にも感動!
Activity Date: 2025/02/22 | Posted on: 2025/04/02

There were no other Japanese tourists on the tour, and everything was in English, but I enjoyed it without any issues. I was moved to see whales appearing here and there, even from a distance. The vast scenery was absolutely amazing! Depending on the weather, this time there was no wind, and it was a pleasant cruise, so I didn't get seasick. (Just in case, everyone else took motion sickness medication.) This trip to Maui was also aimed at whale watching, so my long-held wish came true. I took a commemorative photo before boarding and purchased it, but later I received an email with a download method, so I was able to check it comfortably at hand. Thank you very much!

ツアーには他に日本人観光客はなく、全て英語でしたが問題なく楽しめました。遠目ではありますがあちこちにクジラが出現するので感動しました。なんと言ってもあの広大な景色は最高でした!!天気次第とはなりますが、今回は風もなく気持ちの良いクルージングでしたので酔う事はありませんでした。(念の為、私以外は酔い止めを飲んでました。)今回のマウイ旅行はホエールウォッチングが目的でもありましたので、念願が叶いました。乗船前に記念写真を撮って頂き購入しましたが、後にメールが届きダウンロードする方法でしたので、早く手元で確認する事ができ快適でした。ありがとうございました!

We arrived at the aquarium parking lot at 7:15, paid for parking (just to be safe, for 5 hours), and headed to the shop at 7:30.
From the parking lot, go down the stairs behind the sign, and the shop is on the right side.
There are various tours available, so we got a bit confused.
We were the only Japanese people there.
It was a large boat, so I didn't get seasick and it was comfortable.
We encountered a lot of whales, but only saw their tails and backs.
However, I would love to go again.

7:15に水族館の駐車場に着き、パーキングでお金を払い(念のため5時間分)、7:30にショップへ
駐車場から案内板の裏の階段を降りて右側がショップです。
色んなツアーがあるので、ちょっと迷いました。

大きな船なので酔うこともなく、快適でした。
鯨には沢山遭遇しましたが、しっぽと背中ぐらいかな。

Eye-Level Whale Watch Tour from Mala Boat Ramp - Hawaii Ocean Rafting [Dec-Apr]
AMAZING!!!! Totally Worth it!!!
Activity Date: 2024/12/19 | Posted on: 2025/01/12

I absolutely loved this tour. I did go on a whale watching tour before but this one really is the best for me. We did an early morning tour & we were only a small group of 11 passengers on the raft. It almost felt like a private tour. The crew was super fun, they shared a lot of information about whales & were very happy to answer any question. Of course the main part, we saw whales!!! :) we saw them so up close & it was one of best experiences in my life. We had multiple whale sightings & we were also lucky to hear some of the whales sing. I am so glad we did an early morning tour the weather was perfect, we got to enjoy the sunrise, watch whales jumping out of the blue waters the perfect Maui vacation we wanted. It was a amazing & a totally next level experience for me. Thank you!!!

The cruise was amazing. The crew was very friendly & their service was topnotch. We had nice breakfast & the food was being served time to time. Me being a vegetarian, I was very happy that they also had some veg/vegan options upon request. We had decent amount of time for snorkeling in both the spots (Molokini crater & turtle town) & saw see lots of colorful fish & corals. On our way back we also got to some whales which was the best part for me. We really enjoyed our cruise, it was super fun.
