Crew was very friendly and helpful. Great place to go snokeling. Even food was good. Well wirth money and time
This is a great inexpensive way to experience another island in Hawaii. The trip is only 45 minutes and the view is amazing. The staff is friendly and the boat is clean with comfortable seating.
We had a wonderful time. Luke our instructor was fantastic, he was patient and encouraging and spent the time to make sure we knew what to do. It was a fantastic experience.
We are so glad to hear that! Thank you for choosing Goofy Foot, and we hope you come back on your next visit to Maui!
I took my two children and enjoyed the morning deal. Everyone was moved by the dynamic sights! The nearby free public parking was full by the time we left, so it's better to arrive early.
子供2人連れて、朝一のお得プランでした。ダイナミックな姿が見れてみんな感動です!
近くのフリー(パブリック)パーキングは帰るころにはいっぱいになっていたので早めに行ったほうがいいですね。
THE KIDS WERE SO ENTERATINED AS WERE MOM AND DAD AND THERE WAS SO MUCH FOOD TO PICK FROM NO ONE COULD HAVE GONE HUNGRY!
I participated in the early morning tour. I was able to see whales, and the price was also reduced, so it was great. However, there was no Japanese-speaking guide. If you need a Japanese guide, it might be better to avoid the early morning tours.
早朝ツアーに参加しました。クジラも見られたし、料金も安くなっていたので、良かったです。ただ、日本語ガイドの方はいらっしゃいませんでした。日本語ガイドが必要な方は早朝は避けた方がいいかもしれません。
I was able to see a lot of whales, and it was moving!!
The morning sea feels great.
However, there were many boarding points, and it was hard to understand.
たくさんのクジラをみることだでき、感動です!!
朝の海は気持ちよいですよ。
ただ、船乗り場がたくさんあり、わかりづらかったです。
Beautiful, magnificent, spectacular, and extraordinary. Just a few words that come to mind when talking about my experience with this activity. I knew that while I was on Maui, that I wanted to go scuba diving. Unfortunately, you have to be certified to go scuba diving. So, I did the next best thing. I went on a snorkel/snuba diving adventure. Not only was the experience breathe taking, but the instructors, captain, film crew, and the rest of the staff was so courteous and knowledgeable. Any questions, comments, or concerns you have they are more than willing to go above and beyond your expectations to make you feel comfortable. Well worth every penny I spent on this activity. Anyone who is thinking about going snorkeling, should check out this company. They have amazing customer service which is hard to find. The snuba adventure is unlike anything I've ever tried. You get the opportunity to swim up close and personal with all kinds of sea life. Highly recommend spending the extra money to go snuba diving.
Exceeded my expectations for so late in the season. Saw more whales than expected and learned a lot about their behaviors. Excellent photo opportunities too.
This tour was the best we have taken in Hawaii! Our bus driver, Bob Brown was engaging, making the trip in the bus fun and informative. He gave us extras, taking us to another volcano sight! The food was delicious at the golf course restaurant we were taken to for breakfast! It was cold, so we advise that you plan to dress warmly with even mitten and hat! It is a five star event!
It was a drizzly and chilly day, starting off with a low energy. The whales might still be sleeping due to the bad weather... The atmosphere on the boat was quite subdued, but as the cruise progressed, we started spotting whales! "Oh! Over there!!!" "Oh! This way!!!" They came quite close, even splashing us with their breath. The early morning plan might have different chances of seeing whales depending on the weather. However, when you do see them, it's a 100% satisfying activity.
小雨ぱらぱらのお天気で肌寒いし、低めのテンションでのスタート。クジラさんもお天気悪いから、まだ寝ているのかもしれない。。。ますますテンション低めの船内でしたが、クルーズの後半になると、あっ!あそこ!!!あっ!こっち!!!とクジラさんが登場してきてくれました。しかもかなりの至近距離まできてくれて、ブリージンクの潮がかかるくらいです。早朝プランはお天気によってクジラさんに会える確立が違ってくるのかもしれませんね。でも、会えると満足度100%なアクティビティです。
I booked the early morning plan. We left around 6:30, and since it wasn't too far from the Sheraton, we arrived at the harbor in about 15 minutes by taxi. The boat was quite rocky, but I was glad to see several whales. It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't take good photos since the whales only appear for a moment.
早朝プランを予約した。
6時半ぐらい出発して、シェラトンからあまり遠くので、タクシーで15分ぐらいでハーバーに着いた。船揺れが結構う激しかったけど、なん匹の鯨を見れてよかったです。鯨が出てくるのが一瞬なんだから、写真がうまく取れなくてちょっと残念です。
I know every whale watch is a different experience but this was the best whale watch cruise ever. The crew was extremely knowledgeable and the captain seem to have a knack to know where they were going to be and how to move into the best position. The boat was two decks and you could move freely between them. It's a bigger boat which some say is worse for fighting for rail space when whales are spotted but I saw a smaller boat next to us and the waves were rocking them almost out of the water while our boat was barely rocking. We got lucky enough to spot two sets of whales and some bottle-nose dolphins even though it was the end of the season. The second set of whales came right up next to our boat and hung around for a while for us to get a really, really close look.
I made a reservation for the morning. I was able to get to the port quickly, but I got lost trying to find the check-in location. It was in a small hut located in the largest pier that juts out into the sea. Please be careful, as there may be a chance you won't see it due to the line.
Now, the boat is two stories, and you can sit wherever you like during the cruise, but it felt like people were moving left and right every time a whale appeared. I was able to see them multiple times, both far and near. I didn't see any jumps, but it was a very satisfying cruise.
朝の時間帯で予約しました。港まではすぐ行けましたがチェックインの場所が迷いました。
海に突き出た一番大きい桟橋の中にある小屋でした。行列の影で見えない可能性もあるので注意してくださいね。
さて、船は2階建てで好きな場所に座りクルーズしますが、クジラが出るたびに人々が右に左に移動する感じでした。
遠く近く合わせて何回も見れました。
ジャンプは見れなかったですがかなり満足のクルーズでした。
This was a great adventure! The staff was quite fun to be around. One of the crew-- Alex (I believe) was especially great in providing information and he had great energy and an awesome attitude!
We would definitely recommend this cruise!
I stayed at a guesthouse in Kaanapali next to Lahaina. We departed at 6:50 AM, took 5 minutes to reach the public parking lot, and then walked for another 5 minutes to the meeting point. There were already a lot of tourists gathered.
We boarded at 7:30 AM for a 2-hour whale watching tour. I was hoping to see whales like in the pictures, but all we saw that day was just a glimpse of a tail. It felt like the end of the season. I want to try again next year.
Lahaina隣のKaanapaliの民宿に宿泊、6時50分出発、パブリック駐車場迄5分、その後5分歩いて集合場所に行った。すでに大勢の観光客が集まっていた。
7時半に乗船し2時間のウオッチング。写真で見るようなクジラを期待していたが、この日は少し尾ひれが見えただけ。シーズン終わりの感がした。来年再チャレンジしたい。
On the third day of our family's first 3-night, 5-day trip to Maui, we joined an early morning tour that was a good deal, even though it wasn't the time for the Japanese guide. We thought we might see whales while looking at the ocean. It seemed like we went out far enough where other tour boats didn't go. We even encountered whales crossing right in front of our boat. ...And the guide exclaimed "Incredible!" because we took the best photos. And it was all with an iPhone. It was the best whale watching experience on our first trip to Maui. I would love to participate again.
家族4人の3泊5日初マウイ弾丸旅行の3日目、日本語ガイドが乗る時間帯ではないが海を見ていればクジラが観れるだろうと早朝のツアーが割安だったので参加しました。ほかのツアーの船がいかない沖まで行っていたように思えます。船のすぐ前を横切るクジラにも会えました。・・・そしてなんとガイドさんもIncredible!と叫ぶほど最高の写真が撮れました。しかもiPhoneでです。初マウイで最高ホェールウォッチングでした。また参加したいと思います。
This was a wonderful trip for our honeymoon. Lunch was provided and tasted great. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable of the sea and all the species we encountered. Our guide stopped the boat at one point so we could watch as a large pod of dolphins that surrounded our boat. We were also able to swim with a Monk Seal! Absolutely recommend this adventure to visitors.
We had fun at this Luau and it was a really good show. This was the second one we did and we had high expectations from what others had told us about the show, we felt that the luau at the Westin Maui was better tho.
This cruise was awesome, the staff were very knowledgable, fun and professional all at the same time. We had a lot of fun. Saw a few whales as well
It was a great whale watching tour for family. The crews are friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the time a lot...
This was our first time and our instructor Kevin was amazing! He is a great teacher and super fun. We will be back for the more advanced lesson next year.
Thanks for the positive feedback! We look forward to seeing you next year! mahalo!!
Beautiful Luau at the Hyatt Regency Maui, especially with the ocean and sunset in the background. The food was great.
The sign in was a mess! We signed up for the VIP seats for $15/person. When we got there they said they've raised their prices to $25 per person. I thought that was odd...I showed them my papers that said $15/person so thats all we paid. The people in front of us had issues too! LOVED the vendors that were there! They had some very nice things and were friendly. The atmosphere was great...by the ocean! The food was as expected....awesome! The Luau was fun and exciting.
I participated on March 8th. This was my third time joining. This time, there were about 20 Japanese participants along with us. Of course, there was also a Japanese guide on board. To put it simply, there were a lot of us.
The previous times I went were at the end of March, but this time was the best. We were able to see breaching multiple times, and the sound of the tail slapping the water was amazing.
I had a hard time getting good photos; the shutter opportunities were... I think the best approach is to use the continuous shooting mode on my compact camera to snap a bunch of photos and then crop them later.
According to the guide, the peak is around Valentine's Day, so I plan to go in February next year.
3月8日に参加しました。3度目の参加です。
今回は日本人御一行様約20名も一緒でした。もちろん日本人ガイドさんも乗船
一言でいうとうようよいます。
前回、前々回は3月末だったこともありますが今回が一番です。
ブリーチングも何度となく見ることができ、尾ひれで海をたたく音がまた凄いんです。
写真はなかなかうまく撮れません、シャッターチャンスが・・・・
コンデジの連射モードでパシャパシャパシャっと撮ってから後でトリミングが正解かと。
ガイドさんによるとバレンタインデー辺りがピークとのこと、来年は2月中に行くつもりでいます。
Ron was an excellent tour leader and driver. The trip was excellent! Staff at National Park were full of information--especially Nan. Very cold--but I dressed as advised and was comfortable--hat, gloves, polar fleece liner under my unlined parka. Delicious breakfast at end of tour. Wonderful company with the others on our tour. Thanks to Ron and the others involved with this unique adventure!
Ron was out tour leader. Excellent commentary as we drove from 3 am to 10 am. It was rainy and foggy as we drove up to the volcano in the dark but Ron kept up the banter of telling us information while driving carefully and well. Driving excellent! That was a plus for me. Our group of 22 got acquainted over the trip. Great site to see sunrise at 10,000 feet! It was cold but I wore layers with warm polar fleece liner under my jacket, polar fleece hat and warm gloves and I was comfortable. I felt badly for those who came wrapped in blankets. Excellent staff at the National Park. Nan was especially helpful and informative. As we were driven down the hill, we could see the sites (and the curves) we'd missed due to darkness on the way up. The tour ended with a nice breakfast at a Golf Club. Memorable excursion! Thank you Ron and my fellow participants!
