Maui
The tour started at 3 am. First stop was in a store where we were supposed to buy water and chewing gum to make the way up the mountain easier. The bus was new and confortable. We arrived at the top of the Haleakala around 5:30 am and stayed freezing outside the bus until 6:40 am, for the sunrise. It was cold and windy, around 0°C... Other companies provided blankets and jackets to their customers. Ours didn’t. The view was fantastic even in that cloudy morning. It’s worth waking up that early! After the sunrise, we started our way down, with two great stops to see the view. Breakfast was served in front of golf course around 9:30 am. We arrived at the hotel at 10:45 am.
This is my second time visiting since the year before last, and this year I was able to see whale jumps twice. It was truly spectacular. On top of that, I encountered a pod of dolphins, and they showed us several spin jumps.
一昨年に続いて2回目になりますが、今年はクジラのジャンプを2度見ることができました。それはもう豪快でした。おまけに、イルカの群にも会い、スピンジャンプを何度か見せてくれました。
Saw a ton of whales. The ride was smooth. My kids all really enjoyed themselves.
For sunrise viewing, there is a standby time of 30 minutes to 1 hour until the sun rises, so during that time, you can also enjoy the beautiful stars, which is a great bonus!
日の出鑑賞の場合、日が出るまで30分~1時間のスタンバイ時間があるため、その間にきれいな星たちも同時に鑑賞できるのでお得です!
Had a great time! Awesome crew. Great music and cocktails. And saw whales! Great experience and would definitively recommend Sea Maui!
I love watching sunrises and have seen them all over the world, but the sunrise in the Sahara Desert has become my number one! I highly recommend it.
日の出鑑賞が大好きで世界中の日の出を観賞しましたが私史上、サハラ砂漠を超えて世界一になりました!おススメです。
I participated with my daughter. We decided to join because there was live music, and the authentic hula show was also very good. There were no Japanese crew members. I’m not good at English, but it was not a problem at all. It was a very windy day, so I felt like I might be blown away while watching the show, and it was quite cold. I think it would have been even better if the wind had been weaker.
娘と参加しました。生演奏ありということで参加を決めましたが、本格的なフラのショーもあったのでそちらもとても良かったです。日本人の乗務員はいませんでした。英語が苦手ですが全然問題ないです。風が大変強い日でしたのでショーを見ているときはすっ飛ばされそうでかなり寒かったです。風が弱ければ更に良かったと思います。
Great experience!! Would recommend the Expeditions to my friends and family. Friendly and great customer service!
It was my second summit tour. The first time, a short-sleeve shirt was fine, but this time it was really cold with strong winds! (laughs) I think the first time had more emotional impact... The second time felt less moving. But! It was beautiful no matter how many times I saw it!
2回目の山頂ツアーでした。
1回目は半そでで大丈夫だったけど・・・
今回は風が強くめっちゃ寒かった!(笑)
1回目の方が感動がプラスされていたかと・・・
2回目の方が感動が薄かったです。
でも!何度見てもキレーかった!
This excursion was the perfect way to experience the sunset. The ride to the crater was also enjoyable. Our Tour guide was informative and funny. It looked like we were floating on the clouds. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The view of the crater was great and surreal as well. Unbelievable colors. Bring a jacket! It was cold up there. The dinner was good as well. I highly recommend this excursion!
The food was delicious, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer dancers.
I wanted to see a show with more hula.
ゴハンは美味しかったのですが、ダンサーさんの人数が少なかったのが 少し残念でした。
もっとフラがたくさん見られるショーに行きたかったです。
Lanai City is a small, cute town where I enjoyed eating lunch bought from a deli in the park and spent my time peacefully.
The road to the beach and the shipwreck was quite hard, and I was glad to have a Jeep! It was fun too.
Lanai is a very safe town; I heard that no one locks their car keys!
I experienced a new Hawaii that you can't find on other islands.
ラナイシティは 小さなカワイイ町で、デリで買ったランチを公園で食べたり、穏やかに過ごしました。
ビーチや難破船への道はかなりハードで、Jeepで良かった!と それも楽しかったです。
ラナイはとてもセーフティな町で、
車の鍵をかけてる人はいないよ~って聞きました。
他の島にはない、新しいHawaiiを体験しました。
We loved this tour! The summit is breathtaking, and our tour guide was wonderful. We would do it again.
The weather on Maui was unfortunately not great, but I was able to see the wonderful sunrise I had longed for. Above all, our tour guide, Nelly, was amazing!! I believe it was a wonderful encounter that changed my perspective on life.
The summit is very windy and cold. You'll be outside for about an hour before sunrise, so warm clothing is essential. I had heard from friends, so I wore Heattech, a cashmere turtleneck, an ultra down jacket, a snowboard jacket, a neck warmer, a knit hat, gloves, and a cashmere stole, and that was just right for me. I noticed some foreigners wearing shorts or leggings at the summit, but they were buying clothes there, so be aware that they only accept cash.
マウイ島ではあいにくの天気が続いてましたが、念願の素晴らしい日の出を見ることができました。
何よりも、ツアーガイドのネリーさんが最高でした!!人生観も変わるステキな出会いだったと思ってます。
山頂は非常に風も冷たく、寒いです。日の出前1時間くらい外にいますので温かい格好は必須です。
私は友達から聞いていたので、ヒートテック、カシミアのタートルネック、ウルトラダウン、スノボのジャケット、ネックウォーマー、ニット帽、手袋とカシミアのストールを着て、貼るホッカイロでちょうど良いくらいでした。外国人の方で半ズボンやスパッツで着てる方は山頂で買ってましたが、現金のみなので要注意です。
Weather is unpredictable for seeing this sunrise but fortunately for us, our sunrise was outstanding. Our guide was very informative. Get us so much useful information about the island in whole as well as mount Haleakalā and the history behind it. So glad we booked this trip.
I participated in the snorkeling-only plan. I was a bit worried since I signed up without transportation and had to meet early in the morning, but it took about 40 minutes by car from my hotel in the center of Waikiki. The meeting place was a little hard to find, but I think if you head towards the aquarium, it will be smooth.
For breakfast, I could choose from bagels, fruits, and muffins, and there was also coffee and juice. Lunch was a sandwich made with vegetables and ham. Both were delicious!
We were blessed with good weather, and I enjoyed the cruise to Molokini Island and the snorkeling afterward! The instructions were only in English, but I was able to understand. It was fun! Thank you!
シュノーケルのみのプランで参加しました。早朝の集合で、送迎なしで申し込んだので心配でしたが、ワイキキ中心部のホテルから車で40分ほどでした。集合場所が少々分かりにくかったのですが、水族館を目指して行くとスムーズに行けると思います^ ^
朝ごはんはベーグル、フルーツ、マフィンから選べ、コーヒーやジュースもありました。昼ごはんは野菜やハムを挟んで作るサンドウィッチでした。どちらも美味しかったです!
お天気にも恵まれ、快適にモロキニ島へのクルーズと移動した後のシュノーケリングも楽しめました!説明は英語のみでしたが、理解はできました。
楽しかったです!ありがとうございました^ - ^
I stayed at a condominium near the Marriott Resort & Spa. In the evening, I heard some very lively sounds, was it a fire dance? Drawn in by the sounds, I signed up!
I was welcomed with a lei and enjoyed a fun time with others at the free drinks. There were many dishes, so much that I couldn't finish them all. The show was also wonderful; the dancers were young but delivered a passionate performance! The audience even participated on stage, creating a fantastic atmosphere together! During the love songs, it was impressive to see couples dancing, making it a show that naturally made you want to dance.
マリオット・リゾート&スパの近くのコンドミニアムに宿泊していました。夕方、とても楽しそうな音が聞こえて、ファイアーダンス? 音に魅かれて、申し込みしました!
レイで迎えて頂き、フリードリンクで同席した方と楽しい時間を過ごせました。お料理も品数が多く、食べきれないほど。
ショーも素晴らしく、まだ若いダンサーさんでしたが、情熱あるショーでした! 観客の人もステージで参加したりと、皆んなで共に盛り上げる、素晴らしい時間でした! ラブソングの時にはご夫婦の方々が、踊っておられたのが印象的で、自然と踊りたくなるような、素晴らしいショーでした。
After a two-day stay in Oahu, I participated in this tour on Maui for the first time.
First of all, the stories shared by our female driver-guide during the journey were wonderful.
Of course, the sunrise at Haleakalā was mystical and made me feel refreshed.
The pancakes for breakfast on the way back were also incredibly delicious.
I believe this tour offers great value for the price!
オアフ2日滞在後、初めてのマウイ島でこのツアーに参加しました。
とにかく運転ガイドの女性の方の道中のお話が先ず良かったです。
もちろんハレアカラのサンライズも神秘的で心が洗われる気持ちになりました。
帰りの朝食のパンケーキもすごく美味しかったです。
お値段以上の価値があるツアーと思います!
The crew was excellent! Attentive and super friendly!
Food was really really good! Sliders, roasted Brussels spiritus and veggies w/dip. The sunset was beautiful and we even saw whales!!!
If you're staying in the Kaanapali area, this tour is definitely great since it departs right from the beach in front of you. The meeting place is on the grass just off the beach, which can be a bit hard to find, but you'll see participants gathering when it's time. We were the only Japanese people there, but you can enjoy it without worrying about not understanding English. We encountered many dolphins and even swam with sea turtles while snorkeling. There weren't that many fish, though. Breakfast included cinnamon rolls and coffee, and lunch was delicious barbecue chicken, along with alcoholic drinks, which was satisfying. The disbanding point is also Kaanapali Beach, so you can head straight to the hotel pool to rinse off. I think this is the best sailing experience for a vacation in Kaanapali.
カアナパリ地区の滞在なら目の前のビーチから出発なので絶対このツアーがイイです。集合場所はビーチからすぐの芝生でちょっとわかりにくいですが、時間になると参加者が集まってくるのでわかると思います。日本人はうちらだけでしたが英語がわからなくても心配無く楽しめます。イルカにも沢山出会え、シュノーケルではウミガメとも泳げました。魚の数はそれ程多くはないです。朝食はシナモンロールにコーヒー、昼食はチキンのバーベキュー、アルコールも飲めて美味しくて満足でした。解散もカアナパリビーチなのでそのままホテルのプールに行けるので潮も洗い流せます。カアナパリでのバケーションには最高のセーリングだと思います。
Sea Maui was an awesome cruise crew was friendly and fun live music was great awesome night on the water definitely recommend it
If you're in a small party, you share a table. Tables are set for four people.
We got to sit with a couple from Australia. So it was interesting to meet someone from somewhere else in the world.
Drinks were good, Mai Tai's. Dinner was good. Prime Rib or Chicken. Dessert was good. Cheesecake.
I wish that we could have gotten another roll with dinner.
Other than that, we sat out in the bay to enjoy the evening. We had a great night for the cruise.
The sunrise at Haleakalā was wonderful. The tour driver was also kind and great. The summit is cold, as everyone says, so it's necessary to prepare for the cold, but if you have a lightweight down jacket, it's warm and not bulky, so I recommend it. Also, the tour departs early, around 2 to 3 AM, and returns around noon, so that might affect your planning. I think many places have a checkout time of 11 AM.
ハレアカラのサンライズ、素晴らしかったです。
このツアーの担当ドライバーも親切でよかったです。
山頂は、みなさんもいわれる通り寒いですから防寒対策は必要ですが、薄手のダウンがあれば、あったかくてかさばらないので、おススメしておきます。
あとは、ツアー出発が2時〜3時と早く、帰りは12時頃になるので、そのあたりがプランニングに影響しちゃうかもしれません。
チェックアウト時間は11時のところが多いと思うので。
Every aspect of this trip was spectacular! The friendly staff, the beverages and food, and views were one of the highlights of our trip. Our large group had the best time on the Sea Maui and can't wait to visit Maui and do this again! Thank you again!
This was a fun trip, and we had an informative, engaging driver in Michael. My only gripe is I didn't really care for the Spacemonkeys video on the way back down.
The children have become independent, and it's not often that our family of four gets together, but during this trip to Hawaii, we extended our stay to Maui and had a long-awaited family reunion. Moreover, even my wife, who usually doesn't swim, joined us for snorkeling at Molokini Island. We were able to witness the clarity of the water, the abundance of fish, the beauty, and the richness of nature, making it a truly enjoyable family trip. The photos and videos of our entire family are treasures. Thank you very much.
子供たちも独り立ちをして、4人の家族が一緒になることは普段なかなか
ないのですが、今回のHawaii旅行で、マウイ島まで足を延ばし、久々の家族全員集合ができました。さらに、あまり、泳がない家内まで参加して、モロキニ島へのシュノーケリングに参加させていただき、海の透明度、魚群の多さ、美しさ、自然の豊かさを目の当たりにして、本当に楽しい家族旅行となりました。家族全員での写真、ビデオ宝物です。ありがとうございました。
We were promptly picked up at the designated time at the pier. This tour went West to Lahaina. The road thru the mountains became very narrow in places but our driver Halley did an excellent job of navigating the turns. This road was definitely more scary than the road to Hana.
Halley did a good job in explaining the various sights just as Sammy did the day earlier. She made frequent stops so we could get photos.
Once we arrived in Lahaina Town, Halley recommended a nice restaurant where we had lunch overlooking the ocean.
We were very pleased with this tour and would highly recommend it.
Our excursion went extremely well. We were met at the pier at the designated time with no issues. We met our driver/guide and were on our way. Our driver was Bobbie who gave us a very comprehensive verbal overview of the entire trip. She would pull over at various times to let us get photos of the scenery. We liked the fact that we could stay at any stop for extended time if needed.
Because Bobbie was Hawaiian raised, she could give us a perspective of Hawaiian life on the island.
The van was very comfortable and the driving was very good. No speeding. She gave us plenty of bathroom stops.
All in all we very much enjoyed the trip and would recommend this tour.
The staff and overall experience was wonderful. I had hoped there would be more ocean life to see. We stayed upstairs on the ride back and it was gorgeous!!
Everything was perfect the minute we stepped foot on the vessel, everybody was friendly. We wanted to come back early and they were accommodating to making that happen. 100% satisfied! Definitely recommend for anybody that wanted to take a trip to the night to use them as their transportation needs!
