Maui
Clive was like an old friend you're visiting for one day. One who doesn't mind talking about everything about his life and home. Takes you by the local coffee hangout. Points out the axis deer herd on the plain. Waves to all the people he knows. Drops by the Garden of the gods. Shows off the shipwreck beach nearby while pointing out the turtles under your feet. Even harvests a coconut from the beach and takes you by his home to shuck so you can taste the real thing. Can't imagine a better morning.
All round positive experience, on the boat and lanai
I participated in this tour with my parents in November 2025. On the same day, there was an American couple who joined us, and our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, provided thorough explanations in both English and Japanese. He shared various sightseeing information about Maui, and we visited some recommended restaurants during our stay afterward. The views and the food were both very delicious, and we were quite satisfied. It was helpful to hear so much information!
We stopped at a supermarket to buy dinner, and the poke there was incredibly tasty. I definitely recommend purchasing it as Mr. Yamauchi suggested. You won't be disappointed.
And then there was Haleakalā. I was completely overwhelmed by the breathtaking nature. From above the clouds, overlooking all of Maui, I was enveloped in emotion as I watched the beautiful sunset, the island gradually fading into twilight, and the sparkling lights of the town. Unfortunately, the starry sky was obscured by thin clouds, so I couldn't see it clearly, but I did get to look at various planets through an impressive telescope. I could see Saturn quite well.
I have an iPhone 11, and its camera isn't very good, but Mr. Yamauchi took photos with his high-performance phone and shared them with me via AirDrop. He took many other pictures as well, allowing us to capture wonderful family memories. I was truly happy about that.
On the way back, we got excited talking about Southern music, and he played some Southern music in the car, which made both of my parents very happy. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness. When we talked about hula, he showed us various videos, which made me happy.
Overall, it was a tour with no complaints. I'm glad I participated in the tour. It was a lot of fun, and I was very, very happy to see my parents' joyful faces.
2025年11月にこちらのツアーで両親と三人で参加しました。同日、アメリカ人のカップルが一緒に参加されていましたが、ガイドの山内さんは英語と日本語両方でしっかりとご説明くださいました。マウイ島の観光情報について色々と教えてくださり、翌日以降の滞在でおすすめのレストランに行ったのですが、ヴューもご飯もとても美味しく満足でした。いろんな情報が聞けて助かりました!
途中寄ったスーパーで夕食を購入したのですが、そこのスーパーのPokeがとても美味しかったです。ぜひ山内さんのおすすめ通りに購入してみてください。外れません。
そしてハレアカラ。言わずもがなの自然に圧倒されっぱなしでした。マウイ島を一望できる雲海の上で、美しい夕日とと夕闇に染まりゆく島、そして街の煌びやかな明かりを目にして、じわりと感動に包まれました。星空は残念ながら薄雲がかかって綺麗に見ることはできなかったのですが、いかにも凄そうな望遠鏡でいろんな惑星を見ました。土星もしっかり見えました。
私の携帯はiPhone11でカメラ機能はあまり良くはないのですが、山内さんご自身の高性能の携帯カメラで撮ってくださり、それをAirDropで共有してくださいました。他にも写真をいっぱい撮ってくれて、素敵な家族写真を思い出に残すことができました。ほんとうに嬉しかったです。
帰りにはサザンの話で両親と盛り上がって、車内ではサザンの音楽をかけてくださって、二人ともとても大喜びでした。お気遣いをほんとうにありがとうございました。フラの話をした時には、いろんな動画を見せてくださって、嬉しかったです。
全体として文句のつけどころがないツアーでした。ツアーに参加して良かったです。とても楽しかったですし、両親の喜ぶ顔が見られてとてもとてもうれしかったです。
Considering the weather, it's recommended to participate on the first day. There is a backup in case the stars are not visible. If you tend to get cold, it might be a good idea to bring a light down j
天候のことを考えると初日に参加するのがおすすめです。もし星が見れなかった時のカバーがあるので。
もし寒がりなら薄いダウンやセーターを持って行ったほうがいいかもです。ハレアカラはすごく冷えました。
I have traveled to Hawaii over 20 times, but this is the first time I've been so impressed by an optional tour. I highly recommend that people in their teens, twenties, thirties, and forties participate and experience this emotion. (As you get older, it becomes harder to see due to presbyopia) *I experienced this too.
【Here are some checkpoints】
■ Scenic Points
They will definitely prepare spots that will truly impress everyone. However, it can be quite cold, so at a minimum, heat-tech clothing for both the upper and lower body is essential. If possible, bringing a thermos with warm drinks might be necessary. *Of course, warm tea is provided.
■ Shopping at the Supermarket
Korean seaweed is highly recommended. *Especially the wasabi flavor is the best.
■ Time
It takes quite a long time, including the round trip. The tour guide is fully proficient in both Japanese and English, so I recommend sitting close to the driver's seat for various educational talks.
I have participated in various optional tours, but I truly recommend this one. As someone who has children and grandchildren, I believe this experience will definitely become a wonderful memory.
The cost is on par with golfing in Waikiki, but the level is different.
It was truly a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
ハワイを20回以上、旅行していますが、
こんなに感銘を受けたオプショナルは初めてです。
是非、10代、20代、30代、40代の方に参加して、この感動を味わって頂きたいです。
(年齢が過ぎると老眼で見えにくくなります)※私もそうでした
【ここからは、チェックポイント】
■絶景ポイント
必ず誰もが本当に感動出来るスポットを用意してもらえます。
ただ、やはりかなり寒いです。最低限、上下のヒートテックは必須です。
可能であれば水筒持参で温かい水分は必要かもしれません。
※もちろん温かいお茶をご用意頂いています
■スーパーマーケットで買い物
韓国のりは、おすすめです。※特にワサビ味は最高
■時間
結構、往復含め長い時間がかかります。
ツアーガイドの方は、日本語/英語がフルスペックなので、
色々な勉強になるトークが出来る分、運転席に近い席をお勧めします。
色々なオプショナルに参加していますが、
本当に参加をお勧めします。
子供や孫を持つ一人の人間として、
この体験は必ず素敵な想い出になると思います。
ワイキキのゴルフと同レベルのコストですが、
レベルが違います。
本当に、素敵な体験でした。
有難うございました。
It's an aquarium in Maui where you can only see small and medium fish. Despite the high admission fee, there are few exhibits that are particularly impressive or captivating. If the price were a bit lower and parking were free, I think it would be a good place to learn about Maui's fish.
マウイにいる小魚、中魚を見るだけの水族館。
入場料が高い割に、感動する特別魅力的な展示が少ない。
もう少し値段が安く駐車場も無料なら、マウイの魚を知るには良いと思う。
Several small children bumped their heads on the step-like chairs in front of the water tank and were crying. In the dim light, the chairs look inviting for play, so please be careful.
水槽前の段になったイスに、数人の小さな子どもが頭をぶつけて泣いていました。暗がりの中、遊びたくなるようなイスなので、気をつけてください。
We had a great time on our Trip to Lanai! Our guide, Clive, was awesome. He took us around and let us spend as much time at each place as we wanted. He has lived on Lanai a long time and was able to give us insights into life on the island. We visited Garden of the Gods and Shipwreck Beach among other sights. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide or tour. He dropped us off at the Blue Ginger restaurant in Lanai City at the end of the tour at our request, where we had an excellent lunch. Then we toured around Lanai City for the rest of the afternoon.
We went back to the port early in order to visit the beach near the port (Hulopo’e beach), which is a 10 minute stroll from the port. Very nice beach. In order to do that we called the shuttle company, Rabaca’s limousine service (808-559-0230) who was able to send a van early to pick us up. No guarantee they will be able to do that, but worth giving them a call if desired.
I saw whales many times. The meeting place was easy to find, which was great. I participated in the whale watching cruise on Maui in January, and I'm glad I went during the season when whales can be seen.
何度もクジラ見えました。 集合場所もわかりやすく 良かったです。 マウイ島はホエールウォッチグクルーズ 1月に参加させて頂きクジラが見える時期に行って良かったです。
Tour organizers were excellent, great communications. Captain Larry and first mate Zach were great, excellent hosts and put us on a bunch of fish.
Started slow, trolling until we reached the bottom fishing sites . Caught a few fish, including small barracudas. Finally hit a spot where the actions was wild, at one time five fish on at the same time. Zach ably handled it all, including taking our pictures with the fish. If you wanted to bring them home, Zach had some good recipes.
On the way into the harbor, saw over a half dozen whales. Great experience!
He took us into a very narrow canyon and we got within feet of the walls.
He pointed out the whales and paused so we could get a good look.
It was easily the apex of our vacation in Maui.
Mahalo for the review and recommendation! Happy to hear you enjoyed your flight with us.
This was the 1st Luau we attended. It’s went beyond our expectations. The food was good and the show was fantastic. Ran very smoothly. Very organized. Well worth the price
Really nothing to improve. This show was organized and ran smoothly
Smooth sailing, saw dolphins and whale.
We were lucky!!
We had such a great time! This was our first fishing charter and it didn’t disappoint! We not only got to fish but we also seen whales, dolphins, and a shark! It was the best part of our trip. The captain and the crew are AMAZING and entertaining. Totally give them 10/10!
We had 25 people on the boat and had plenty of room. The crew was great. We caught fish, snorkeled and saw so many whales. This boat comes highly recommended!
We’ve been to a lot of different Luau’s and Old Lahaina Luau is the best we’ve been to 👍😁
The eight ziplines offered great views of Maui’s coastline, and the guides made the adventure safe and fun!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! 🌴 We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the incredible coastal views and that our guides helped make your zipline adventure both safe and fun. Maui truly is special from above, and we’re so glad we could share that with you. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Horses were well cared for and easy to ride, and the trails offered stunning mountain and ocean views
A memorable and relaxing way to experience Maui from the ocean.
My favoprite part was the beachfront setting - it was beautiful, especially at sunset
Josh was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the island and it’s history.
Highly recommended for families.
I didn’t think the under water tunnel to be the same as the advertised.
Everything else was very informative
Purchasing tickets was very cumbersome. Why do we need a user name and password for something I may never use again.
We had a great time. Saw whale they gave us history and information about the whales today. Thank you
Great experience with all parties in my family. Make sure to bring a professional camera to capture the whale closely.
Sun protection is a must
This was my first time on Maui, and since it was whale watching season, I prayed for a chance to see them and made a reservation. I was filled with anxiety due to the strong winds from the day before, and on the day itself, the weather was gloomy and the sea was rough.
After about 10 minutes of setting out, I spotted a whale's spout! From there, we encountered whales continuously! Since it's nature, you never know what to expect, but I think it's a tour that can be greatly enjoyed!
初マウイ島、ホエールウォッチングの季節なので、出会える事を祈って申し込みさせて頂きました。
前日からの強風に不安しか無く、当日もドンヨリ天気に海は荒々💦
不安しか無く出向🚢💨
出向する事10分程度で鯨の潮吹きを発見!
そこからは引っ切り無しに鯨に遭遇!
自然相手なので何とも言えませんが、大いに楽しめるツアーだと思います!
The advance notice delegation was not necessary. Since there were no life jackets provided, it might be a good idea for those who are anxious to bring their own. I was fine, but for rough seas, motion
事前案内の委任状は不要でした。
ライフジャケットも無しなので、不安な方は用意されて方が良いかもです。
僕は大丈夫でしたが、荒々の海は酔い止め必須ですね💊
Awesome culinary experience with authentic island flavors, nothing challenging, just delicious. Beautiful venue dedicated to this purpose only. It felt like attending a ceremony and celebrating with native people.
My daughter and I went on this trip and it was fantastic. I let her drive most of the time and we were directly behind the guide so it was great. Speaking of the guides, amazing dudes, not only for the trip and the assistance, but also for what they taught us about Maui and the restoration of the forest preserve. On every trip they plant a tree to try to bring back the rainforest and of course, Bella volunteered to plant it😎Highly recommend!!!
I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.
- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).
最高の一言に尽きると思います。今回私はハワイ島→マウイ島→オアフ島の3か所で複数アクティビティを体験しましたが、間違いなく1番楽しかったのがこのツアーでした。
・シュノーケルとスヌーバの両方を体験可能なプランにしました。船内には20人程度の参加者がいましたが、8割程度がこのプランでした。モロキニ島水域の透明度は素晴らしく、シュノーケリングで終わらせるのはもったいないと思います
・スヌーバは事前の説明さえちゃんと聞いていれば誰でも出来ると思います
・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです
・英語ガイドさんなので、英語がからっきしの方は難しいかも知れません
・ウェットスーツ貸し出しは10USDです。また、タートルタウンでのシュノーケリング・スヌーバは追加で50USD払う必要があります。いずれも船を降りた後に現金で支払いでした(支払う価値ありです)
Motion sickness medication and sunscreen are essential. Since there are no changing rooms or showers, it's better to consider the timing in relation to your itinerary beforehand. After wiping my entir
酔い止め、日焼け止めは必須。着替える場所やシャワーがないので、前後の行程との兼ね合いも事前に検討された方が良い。私は持参したタオルで全身を拭いた後、港のすぐ近くにある商業施設のトイレで着替えました
Really great day trip. Super convenient and comfortable ferry ride to Lanai. Our rental car canceled our Jeep at the last minute, claiming they did not have one, even though we paid in full months in advance, but a second company, “cheap jeeps “, came to our rescue, saying that they had to do the same thing for other people. Lots of fun for a day trip from Maui.
I would go with cheap jeeps rather than risk not having a jeep when you get to the island.
10/10 highly recommend this tour! Best bang for your buck. Great staff and accommodations! Loved all the food and beverages as well as getting to know the captain and his crew. The snorkel gear and wetsuits were top notch, too. We will definitely do this again next time we visit.
Be prepared for a windy harbor and bring a dry change of clothes for the ride home.
Our family had an amazing time snorkeling and whale watching. The food was also very good and everyone had plenty to eat. Our favorite part was the wonderful crew. They were funny and kind and engaging and made us all feel super comfortable, mostly our 5 and 7 year old. This boat was great for kids and had a few options for them to be able to see the underwater life. We had plenty of time to snorkel and then lots of relaxing time in the boat to see a ton of humpback whales. We are already planning our Four Winds snorkel trip next year!
We greatly appreciate your business and for sharing about your experience! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
We enjoyed our experience a ton! Perfect way to end our vacation in Maui. You guys were excellent thank you!
