Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

The best molokini experience

Reviewed by: Jay

Molokini is one of the best spot for snorkel/snuba the water is way more clear then the beaches, tons of exotic fish for you to swim with and this group of guys are the best. Delicious food, ice cold drinks and everyone are very friendly, the best customer service I have encountered. With the captain's guidance we were able to spot lots of whales and sea turtles as well. If you decide to go to molokini make sure you go with these guys, you will not regret it.

  • This guy snuck up right next to us!

Drums of the Pacific Luau with Open Bar at Kaanapali Hyatt Regency Maui

There are better Luau's to go to

Reviewed by: Fefa0723

The preferred seating was behind a whole section of hotel preferred seating. So don't pay for that. Food was buffet style and tasteless. The drinks are premade with ice and sitting on large trays, getting watered down, so the staff can just grab them fast. The said they had a full bar, but when we asked for something else, the bartender was upset he had to make it. Only 2 types of beer. They did advertising of products they were selling in the hotel 4 times during the show. We had a people that live on the island tell us we should have gone to the Luau in Lahaina.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

The tour operates even in the rain. 雨でも催行

Reviewed by: saito

It was a cold, rainy day in late January. I participated without receiving the cancellation notice I was expecting. Even under the gloomy rain clouds, the visibility was high, and I think the scenery would have been breathtaking if it had been sunny.

After moving to a different location, the sun began to peek through, and I enjoyed swimming in the area where the sea turtles were. Both places had clear water, but it was a pity that there were few tropical fish.

1月下旬の寒い雨降りの日でした。期待した中止連絡はなく、参加しました。どんより雨雲の下でも透明度は高く、晴れていれば感動する景色だったと思います。
場所を移動後は徐々に晴れ間も見えてきて、ウミガメのいる場所での遊泳を堪能しました。
どちらも透明な海でしたが、熱帯魚が少ないことは残念でした。

It was moving!! 感動!!

Reviewed by: Yamahan

I went to Maui to participate in the Maui Oceanfront Marathon, and there was a place I absolutely wanted to visit during my stay before the marathon... the summit of Haleakalā. I was the only Japanese person there, but I waited for the sunrise with the other foreigners and shared that moment. It was the best time... the emotions were conveyed even without speaking English. I was able to understand parts of the guide's talk, and I'm really glad I participated! The breakfast after the sightseeing was also delicious, enjoyed at a beautiful spot in the golf course clubhouse!

I was worried about the time changes, but it turned out that as long as you can speak a little English, it's not a problem. I was able to see the whales up close, which was more than I expected, and it was truly moving. There were no Japanese people around, and there was no Japanese guide at all, but if you're just there to see, it's not an issue. I want to go again.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  <12~4月/軽食&アルコール2杯付き/英語ガイド/カアナパリビーチ発>

I was able to see a whale breaching. 鯨のブリーチングも見れました

Reviewed by: surfstyle

The whale watching plan at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel was a cozy experience, not on a large boat leaving from Lahaina Harbor, but rather on a smaller vessel that accommodates about 30 people. The tour guide, captain, and staff were full of hospitality, and they would bring you soft drinks and snacks for free upon request, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in whale watching.

While I saw several whales passing by, I was disappointed that there weren't any standout moments. However, in the latter part of the tour, I was thrilled to witness five consecutive breaches, which was incredibly moving.

You board the boat from Kaanapali Beach, so I recommend wearing clothes that are okay to get wet or something that covers your knees. You can park your car in the hotel’s multi-story parking lot. After the tour, if you get your parking ticket stamped at the beach kiosk, it's free, but you must submit the stamped parking ticket at the hotel entrance bell desk for the free processing when you leave. There are no attendants at the parking lot exit, so if you get stuck there, you might face honking from the cars behind you. Please be careful.

After our tour, we went shopping at the nearby Whalers Village before processing our parking ticket, which saved us some parking fees.

カアナパリビーチホテルのホエールウォッチングプランで、ラハイナ港から出る大きな船ではなく、30名くらいしか乗船できないアットホームなプランでした。
ツアーガイドも船長もスタッフもホスピタリティ満載で、ソフトドリンクや軽食も頼めばフリーで持ってきてくれますので、鯨観察に没頭できます。
通りすがりの鯨は何頭も見たのですが、これといったシーンがなく残念に思っていた後半に、なんと5連続で鯨のブリーチングを見ることができ、大感動でした。

船には、カアナパリビーチから乗り込みますから、ひざ上位の服か、水にぬれてもOKという服装で参加したほうが良いと思います。
車は、ホテルの立体駐車場に停めます。ツアー参加後にビーチキオスクで駐車印を押してもらえばタダですが、車を出すときに、ホテル入口のベルデスクで駐車印を押したパーキングチケットを提出して無料処理をしてもらわないと出られなくなります。
駐車場出口の所には係員がいませんから、そこで立ち往生すると後続の車からブーイングです。ご注意ください。
我が家は、ツアー参加後に近くのホエラーズビレッジで買い物をしてから駐車券処理をしたので、駐車料金も浮きました。

Don't give up. 諦めない

Yamapi's quick and efficient guidance was absolutely fantastic. After various experiences in our family, this trip with three women is off to a great start. The donuts, which are not available in Japan, and the various spots on Haleakalā are highly recommended. The story that encouraged us to give it another try really touched my heart. I want to come back and participate again. Thank you to Yamapi and the other participants for the wonderful time. I'm looking forward to the next Hawaii Love event. I'm really glad I came! \(//∇//)\

山ピーさんの、迅速かつ無駄のないガイドがものすごく良かったです。うちも色々あった家庭で久々の三人女旅がこんな始まりが出来て幸先いい感じです。ドーナツも日本未発売から始まりハレアカ山の色々なスポットお薦めですね。最後のもう一度頑張ってみようとさせてくれるお話がまた心に染みました。また、来たい参加したいと思います。また、他の参加者さんを始め、山ピーさんお付き合いありがとうございました。またハワ恋楽しみにしてます。あえてよかったぁ

It was a tour where I could truly feel the wonderful love of family. After all, a family you can talk to about anything is a treasure. I would love to go to the Omiya Hikawa Shrine Festival again. (laughs)

I've had various experiences living in America, but thanks to not giving up, I’ve been able to meet everyone. I’m grateful for that.

We will start filming the Maui edition of "In Love with Hawaii" next month, so we plan to deliver hidden B-grade gourmet and treasure information on TV before summer.

I look forward to our next reunion!

素晴らしい家族愛を肌で感じたツァーになりました。やっぱり何でも言える家族は宝です。大宮氷川神社祭りにもまた行きたいですね。笑
自分もアメリカ生活で色々なことがありましたが、諦めなかったお陰で皆さんとも会える事が出来ています。感謝ですね。

I'm really glad that I, someone who can't swim at all, was able to enjoy snorkeling without drowning! I had seen it on TV, but I never expected to see such beautiful fish right in front of me; it was truly moving! This time, I could only manage to put my face in the water, but if I get another chance, I definitely want to dive deeper. I encourage those who can't swim to give it a try as well! (laughs)

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

crystal clear at Molokini

Reviewed by: newbie to scuba

It was my first time snuba diving. Molokini was crystal clear and we could see everything. After the snuba dive we were allowed to snorkel some more. We then went to turtle town. I think the corals were spawning. The water was not very clear. But we did see some more turtles. On the way back we even saw some whales.
Wet suit and the second snuba dive price were not included in the voucher. I wish hawaiiactivities would collect these added fees up front rather than we pay in the boat.

マウイ島観光ツアー 天国のハナ リムジンバスでマウイの大自然と歴史を感じる<1日/英語ガイド/朝・昼食付>

I wish I could speak a little more English. 英語がもう少し出来るとよかった~

Reviewed by: やまちゃん

This tour was chosen because Hana's was fully booked. The guide worked hard to explain everything, but since they weren't very proficient in English, it was tiring to try to understand. I recommend it for those who are good at English.

One thing to note: this tour has a separate fee for tips, which can add up to quite a bit. I realized this after signing up. It's fine for those who have a budget to spend luxuriously. The vehicle was nice, and you can enjoy a picnic atmosphere.

このツアーは、ハナの行くのが一杯になっていたので、選択したツアーです。
一生懸命ガイドの方が説明してくれるのですが、英語があまり得意ではないので、理解しようとするのが疲れました。英語が出来る方におすすめです。
一つ注意が。このツアーはチップが別料金になっているのが要注意です。チップも加えるとかなりの高額になります。申し込んだ後で気がついたことです。贅沢に使える資金がある方にはOKですよ。車もいいですし、ピクニック気分を楽しめます。

Haleakalā, chosen as one of the world's premier astronomical observation sites, offers a breathtaking view of a starry sky that cannot be seen in urban areas. The gradient of colors after sunset, including the green flash visible at sunset, creates a stunning scene that can be enjoyed all the way until midnight sunset time. The kind smiles of everyone taking photos against this backdrop will become cherished memories for a lifetime. Please come back to enjoy that starry sky space again! I look forward to our reunion.

乗馬ツアー ワイへエ渓谷を巡り、ハレアカラ山頂も望む<午前・午後/英語ガイド>

I'm a little surprised ^_^ ちょっとびっくり^_^

Reviewed by: まっちゃん

Horseback riding in Hawaii, whether on Oahu or here on Maui, is truly relaxing. After a brief lesson on basic horse handling, we got to ride. I think there was an explanation before we mounted, but I couldn't catch it in English. Suddenly, the horse took off with a shout of "Alright, let's go! Hold on to the reins and saddle tight, GO!" I clung on for dear life, probably for just a few seconds? Afterward, the cowgirl asked me, "How was it?" and when I replied, "I was a bit surprised," she burst out laughing (^ - ^).

But the scenery was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the leisurely horseback ride. The friendly cowgirl took quite a few pictures for us too♪ I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting a bit dirty, as there will be dust.

オアフ島しかり、ここマウイ島しかり、ハワイの乗馬はほんとに気楽。
ごくごく簡単な馬の操作をレクチャーの後乗ります。
乗る前の説明があったのか?英語が聞き取れなかっただけだと思いますが、途中で「さあ走るよ!手綱と鞍しっかり掴んでね、GO!」といきなり馬が走り出します。
必死にしがみついて、多分数秒ぐらい?
走ったあと、カウガールに「どうだった?」と聞かれ「ちょっとびっくりした」というと大笑いしてました(^-^)

でもまあ景色は最高!のんびり乗馬を存分に楽しめました。
写真もけっこう何枚も撮ってくれて、気さくなカウガールでしたよ♪
土煙で汚れるので、少し汚れてもいい服装で行かれることをお勧めします。

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Bring your own life jacket

Reviewed by: Not a snorkeller

My kids had a great time as did my husband, but I did not. I can swim, but am not used to deep water (35 feet) and the waves. I asked for an adult life jacket and was told to just hang on to the rope on the back of the boat. I should have asked another crew member as Tiffany and Jason were awesome, but the guy I asked at the back told me it wouldn't help. So I was left panicking at the back of the boat while my husband went out with my two young boys. In hindsight, bring your own life jacket if you or your kids need one to make sure it fits and works for you. I'm sure my boys will go again, but I'll stay on shore.

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

Great trip

Reviewed by: Pamela

We were picked up at our hotel at 3:00 am as promised and then taken up the mountain to see the sunrise. We were lucky as it was a clear day and we got to see the sunrise without issue. Once we arrived at the site, we were given coffee and danish to warm us up. We then took our place with the others and saw the magnificent view. We then got back on the bus and went up to the summit to take a few more pictures. On the way down our driver stopped at two more scenic points so that we could see down into the crater. It was quite a view. At the end of the trip, we were taken to a restaurant on a golf course and fed breakfast. The entire trip lasted about 7 1/2 hours. My one complaint would be that the bus was small and the seats were very tight. Some of the taller and larger people on the bus really had to be uncomfortable for the entire ride as two people could not fit comfortably in one row and there was no leg room at all.

I was very impressed by the story shared by Mr. Yamauchi, which made me re-recognize the fact that I am alive here now. I was also moved by his admirable way of living. I wish him continued good health and even more success for the sake of travelers from Japan. The starry sky and the Milky Way were beautiful. Since there were only a few people (5) in one car, we could take our time, which was nice. The bento was just okay... maybe the food at Mauna Kea was tastier... It became a wonderful memory.

Thank you for your hard work over a long time! It's convenient that you can reach the summit of Haleakalā in just 1 hour and 30 minutes from the base. It's appealing that people of all ages, from little kids to the elderly, can participate. Life has its ups and downs, but I hope that my way of living can bring some energy to everyone. I'm looking forward to our next meeting! I will also talk to the bento shop to make it even more delicious.

I travel to Oahu every year, but this was my second time on Maui. This time, my goal was to see the stars at Haleakalā. I received polite replies to detailed inquiries about the probability of seeing the stars via email in advance, which made me feel at ease despite the nature of the experience. However, due to a dispute in the U.S. Congress, we couldn't reach the summit (3055m) and had to view the stars from around 2000m at the entrance. Nevertheless, the night sky and the stars were incredibly beautiful, and I felt the smallness of myself in the universe. Above all, I was moved by the storytelling and presentation by the owner, Mr. Yamauchi. There may be a relationship between the tour company and guests, but the thoughtful attention to detail allowed us to relax and enjoy the short time we had. From the hotel pickup at 3 PM to heading to Haleakalā, we stopped at places like tea time and gift shops that individuals wouldn't typically visit. I want to go again next year! I highly recommend this tour to everyone; it’s a life-changing experience. ...Studying the stars in advance might make it even more enjoyable.

毎年オアフ島へは旅行で行ってますが、マウイ島は2回目。今回はハレアカラの星を見るのが目的でした。事前にメールで見られる確率は何パーセントだのなんだの細かい問い合わせにも丁寧な返信をいただき、自然相手にもかかわらず安心して行ったのですが、米国議会の揉め事で山頂(3055m)まで行けず、入口の2000m付近での鑑賞となりました。しかし、夜空も星も素晴らしくきれいで、宇宙の中の自分の小ささを感じました。何よりもオーナー山内さんの語り、演出に感動です。ツアー会社とゲストとの関係はあるかもしれませんが、短い時間に気持ちを和ませて参加できる、細かい心配りは最高でした。PM3時にホテルピックアップからハレアカラに向かうまで、ティータイムやギフトショップなど個人では行けない場所へも立ち寄ってくれます。来年も又行きたい!そして、皆さんにも是非参加いただきたい、人生観が変わるツアーです。・・・事前に星を勉強していくと一層楽しいかも。
