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>

Molokini Dive モロキニダイブ

Reviewed by: たま

I participated with a friend last month. Since we didn't have a car, we chose a tour that provided transportation. After arriving at the harbor, a Japanese staff member took care of us, which made us feel secure until the end. We also participated in the snorkeling activity. They arranged for us to enter at Molokini Island, and since a group of Japanese girls who were supposed to join us canceled last minute, my friend and I ended up snorkeling together. However, I felt a bit embarrassed as a Japanese person. I borrowed a jacket, but it was warmer than I expected, so I might not have needed it. We also saw honu (sea turtles) several times, so I would like to participate again.

友人と先月、参加しました。
車がなかったので、お迎えがあるツアーを選びました。
ハーバーについてからも日本人のスタッフさんがお世話してくれて、最後まで安心でした。
スヌーバーにも参加しました。
モロキニ島で入るようにしてくれていて、一緒にもぐるはずだった日本人の女の子グループがドタキャンしたので友人と2人でもぐれました。
しかし、日本人としてちょっと恥ずかしかったです。
上着を借りたのですが、思ったよりも暖かく要らなかったかも。
ホヌにも何度も会えたので、また参加したいです。

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>

I recommend it. おすすめです

Reviewed by: せつこ

You will gather at the meeting point by rental car. Since other boats depart at the same time, it can be a bit confusing, but look for the boat with Japanese staff at the furthest dock.

The boat takes about an hour to reach Molokini Island. It's a comfortable cruise, although the scenery might be a bit monotonous. Along the way, a Japanese staff member (who is nice) will explain some important information.

Upon arriving at Molokini Island, you can snorkel for about an hour. The fish are decent. The crescent-shaped island doesn't seem to matter much as you get closer.

After getting back on the boat, you can enjoy a hamburger while moving to another point where you can swim with turtles.

If your main goal is snorkeling, you might not need to join this tour. However, considering the unique location of Molokini Island combined with the cruising experience, it's a tour worth participating in.

レンタカーで集合場所へ、他の船も同じ時間に出発なので、ちょっとわかりづらいですが、一番奥の乗り場の日本人のスタッフがいる船です
船は一時間ほどで、モロキニ島へ到着。快適なクルーズです。景色はちょっと単調かな。途中、日本人のスタッフ(いい人です)から、注意事項など説明があります。
モロキニ島到着。1時間くらいスノーケリング。魚は、まあまあってところ。三日月型の島であるということは、近づくとあまり関係なくなります。
船にあっがって、ハンバーガーを頂きながら、別のポイントへ移動。カメと一緒に泳げます。
スノーケリング目的なら、別にこのツアーに参加する必要はないでしょう。モロキニ島という特殊なロケーションとクルージングとセットで考えると、参加したいツアーです。

Swim with sea turtles. 海亀と泳ぐ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

There were just the two of us Japanese, but the staff, although they couldn't speak Japanese, were very kind to us. The weather was nice, the sea was blue, and it was a very pleasant tour. At the sea turtle point, we were able to swim together. If you go to Maui, it's all about the sea. I think this tour is just right for enjoying the ocean.

日本人は私たち二人でしたが、スタッフの方は日本語は話せないものの親切に接して頂きました。

I was moved by the perfect stars. 満点の星に感動

Reviewed by: Happy

First, I was filled with the stars in the sky. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and shooting stars appeared so quickly that I didn't even have time to make a wish; it was a series of breathtaking moments. I was well-prepared for the cold, and at just the right time, warm tea was served, making me forget the chill as I looked up at the sky. The warm bento was delicious as well. I encountered stars I had never seen before, like the red star and the butterfly star. I would love to participate again.

It was like a jewelry box!☆ まるで宝石箱でした☆

Reviewed by: miki

After completing the 2012 Maui Marathon, I participated with my important partner. Initially, I was worried about whether I could enjoy it after running, but with Yamauchi-san's excellent guidance and the beautiful sunset, all the fatigue from the marathon disappeared.

Later, I couldn't stop crying at the starry sky, which looked like a treasure chest turned upside down against the pitch-black night sky. Thanks to the techniques of our guide Yamauchi-san, we miraculously got to see Saturn, which was truly amazing!

This was the first time I had such a wonderful experience, and I feel like it changed my perspective on life. I also fell in love with Maui, the sky, and the mountains thanks to the best tempura (laughs) and the fantastic guide. I'm really glad I could share this experience with my important partner. I want to participate again with someone special. Thank you, Yamauchi-san and all the staff!

Sunset and stargazing. サンセット&星空観測。

Reviewed by: 土佐っ子

The day after the Maui Marathon, I participated with my husband.

Aside from the sunset, I was moved by the countless stars we could see. We were even shown Saturn and Mars by Mr. Yamauchi, which we could never see in our everyday lives. I believe everyone who joined the tour was satisfied.

Also, there was a group of three lively and powerful ladies from Osaka who participated in the same tour, and it made me think that I want to stay energetic and positive no matter how old I get. Mr. Yamauchi also joked several times, "Osaka ladies are interesting. Is it Yoshimoto?" I fell in love with Maui.

マウイマラソンの翌日に主人と参加しました。

サンセットもさる事ながら、無数の星が見られた事に感動しました。
普段では絶対に見る事ができない、土星や火星も山内さんに見せて頂きました。
ツアーに参加されたみなさん、満足されたと思います。

また、同じツアーに大阪から参加されていたのおばさま三人組の方が気さくでパワフルで、私も何歳になっても元気で前向きにいたいなあ・・・と思いました。
山内さんも「大阪のおばちゃんは面白い。吉本ですか~?」と何度もつっこまれていましたね。

Sea turtle sighting. 海カメ発見

Reviewed by: 姉御

We were picked up at the hotel at 6:50 AM, and it took about 15 minutes to get to the port for boarding the cruise.

The tour participants were about half foreign and half Japanese. My husband and I took a seat on the second floor with a good view, and it took about an hour to reach the snorkeling point. The Japanese staff provided a thorough explanation of the snorkeling precautions, which made us feel at ease.

We entered the water and observed the coral reefs and fish. I felt a bit disappointed, thinking, "Is this all there is?" I was expecting more colorful coral reefs.

We changed points and went to see sea turtles, and we were thrilled to encounter them several times.

It was convenient to have breakfast and lunch on the cruise. The food wasn't particularly delicious, but considering the cost performance, I was satisfied.

朝6:50にホテルでビックアップ、その後クルーズ乗船する港まで約15分。

ツアー参加者は外国人と日本人と半々位でした。
二階の眺めの良いところに主人と席を取り、一時間くらいでポイトへ。
シュノーケルの注意も日本人スタッフが丁寧に説明してくれて安心でした。

海に入り珊瑚礁や魚を眺めました。
「こんなものかしら。」と感じ、ちょっと期待はずれ感はありました。
もうちょっと色とりどりの珊瑚礁かと思ってました。

ポイントを変えて、ウミガメを眺めに行き何度か遭遇し感激でした。

Turtle Town & Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch - Aloha Blue Charters

Swimming with the Turtles

Reviewed by: Shelli & Jason

We had a wonderful time with the crew of Aloha Blue on our snorkel cruise. Breakfast was continental with a lovely spread of fruit, pastries and breads. Juice, iced tea, coffee and water were also available.

We were taken to two snorkel spots and had an hour in each location. The time went by much too quickly! Joe, crew member, was in the water with us the entire time to point out sites and ensure everyone's safety. We were also provided with swim noodles (take advantage of those!!) to help swim against the current.

The second spot is known as "Turtle Town" and there are ample opportunities to spot sea turtles. It is great fun looking at the beautiful underwater world of Hawaii and seeing the sea life. Though we only saw one turtle it was worth the experience!

Lunch was cold cut sandwiches, which was disappointing as the tour information specified a BBQ lunch. The food was very good despite the misinformation.

Haleakalā Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour ハレアカラ山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since I attended with a child under three years old, I was a bit worried about whether it would be okay, but I enjoyed the donuts, appreciated that they had prepared warm clothing for small children, and saw some unique clocks at the shops we visited. The beautiful sunset and starry sky were, of course, wonderful, but the guide's attention to detail was impressive. My child was also very happy.

Personally, I found the information shared during the drive (stories about life on Maui, discussions about Haleakalā, etc.) to be very interesting and engaging. I usually fall asleep in the car, but I didn't have a moment to doze off.

My mother, who joined me and is in her 60s, also said she had a great time. She was surprised by the specialized astronomy discussions (which were very easy to understand!) and the appearance of a professional telescope, as she thought we would just be looking at the stars. I had imagined simply gazing at the night sky as well (which is already beautiful), so I was surprised too.

They provided a Japanese bento box and tea for dinner, along with candy for dessert, making it a truly satisfying tour. Watching the sunset over the 360-degree horizon and the beautiful starry sky made me forget the hustle and bustle of life in Japan, and I felt refreshed.

I think $160 per person (including hotel pickup) is a great deal. I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity. Lastly, I want to thank our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, for all his help. Thank you very much!

3歳以下の子供を連れての参加だったため、本当に大丈夫かなと不安な面もありましたが、ドーナッツを頂いたり、防寒具を小さい子供用にまで準備して頂いていたり、立ち寄ったお店で珍しい時計を見せて頂いたり、きれいなサンセットや星空は無論素晴らしかったですが、細かいところまでガイドさんの心遣いが行き届いていました。本人も喜んでいました。
個人的には、道中、車中での案内(マウイ島の生活の話、ハレアカラ山の話など。。)もとても面白く、興味深くお聞きしました。私はいつもは車中では寝てしまうのですが、寝る間もなかったです。
一緒に参加した60代の母もとても楽しかったと喜んでいました。星空をただ見るだけと思っていたので、専門的な天文学のお話(ですがとてもわかりやすい!)や本格的な望遠鏡の登場には驚いたと言っていました。私もただ星空を見上げることを想像していた(それでも十分キレイですが。)のでびっくりしました。
夕食に日本食のお弁当とお茶、食後の飴まで用意して頂き、本当に大満足のツアーでした。360度の地平線に沈むサンセット、美しい星空を眺めて、日本での生活のめまぐるしさを忘れて、心があらわれるような気分でした。
これで一人160ドル(ホテル送迎付)はお安いと思います。また機会があればぜひ参加したいです。最後になりましたがガイドの山内さん、本当にお世話になりました。どうもありがとうございました。

I love that I resonate with children; I also adore clocks with moving dials. (laughs) Your child was very honest and straightforward. To prevent altitude sickness on the way, it's safer to have something in your stomach, even if it's just a little. When everyone sees this starry sky from the city, I'm sure a moment of reset will come at the summit. Please feel free to come back to Maui anytime. I'm looking forward to our reunion.

子供と波長が一緒なのか、自分も文字盤が動く仕掛け時計が大好きです。笑

The difference from the seas I've dived in before is that there are fewer fish, but the encounter rate with sea turtles is very high. It became the best memory for my friend who dislikes fish. The boat rocked quite a bit, and many people got seasick, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. There was a Japanese female staff member who was very kind, making it a reassuring tour to participate in.

Goofy Foot Maui Surf School Group & Private Surfing Lessons at Ukumehame Beach

Fabulous for everyone!

Reviewed by: Victoria Dame

We surprised our 10 year old son with surfing lessons on our recent trip to Maui. He was so excited when he finally found out what we were doing.

When we finally found Goofy Foot they were already getting people suited up and checked in. It is a little difficult to find, but worth the search. (Just so you know, it's past the school in a small shopping center on Front Street in Lahaina. Not in the main shopping district).

We checked in and they got him all suited up, he was the only kid that morning. They have small groups, only five people per instructor. They also have a photographer, $20 for 20 pictures. The pictures were good, not fantastic, but the price was great and we have a few really good ones.

The photographer took everyone down to the beach and gave them a lesson in hamming it up for the camera. Then the instructor came down and the lesson started.

They learned all the moves to get up, stay up, speed up and slow down on the sand before moving the board

A show that conveys excitement. 熱気が伝わるショー

Reviewed by: Rinpapa

From the Sheraton Maui where I stayed, it was surprisingly close to walk along the beach walk, arriving in about 7 to 8 minutes. There was an ID check at the entrance, and it seems it's better to have something like a driver's license. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything on me, but I passed without any issues.

While waiting in a long line, we were greeted by a typical Hawaiian light rain, which resulted in a rainbow appearing in the sky, and a nearby American family took a photo for us. By the way, it seems there were quite a few fewer participants from Japan.

The content of the show was well-structured and enjoyable, although the food had a somewhat wild impression for a Japanese person.

宿泊したシェラトンマウイからビーチウォークにそって歩くと思いのほか近く7~8分で到着しました。入場ではIDの確認がありました。運転免許証なんかは持っていたほうがよいようです。あいにくなにも持っていませんでしたが難なくパス。

We recently visited the Mendes Ranch with a group of 5 (two women in our forties, two 16 year-olds, and a 14 year-old). I owned horses while growing up, but haven't ridden in years, and the other members of our group have ridden once or twice on other trail rides. We all had a wonderful time. We were placed in an intermediate trail group with another couple, making our group total of 7. Butch was our guide and he moved along the line of horses throughout to the ride, checking in with everyone and chatting about the ranch. He took lots of photos with the riders cameras at two different photo locations and even took video of the final run. Other reviews have mentioned the dust on the trail and we did get VERY dirty, but we expected it. At times, Butch had some of the group veer off to other portions of the trail to try to limit the dust. I did not mind this, but our younger members got a bit nervous when they could not see the other horses.

Turtle Town & Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch - Aloha Blue Charters

Nice Trip/Good Snorkling

Reviewed by: George

A very nice ride from the marina to Molokini. I liked the intimacy of the small boat compared to having too many people on your trip on the larger boats that filled the area.

We have 3 families of 4 and the crew. Nice size to get the most out of the trip.

You could do some fishing along the way if you wish (on the way back, they caught a huge Mahi Mahi fish). You get a continental style breakfast on the way out.

You see some amazing things in crystal clear waters at Molokini.

We did go to Turtle Town. My wife had a close up encounter with a turtle on his way to the surface for air. She thought it was great.

A nice lunch on the way back which included burgers and sandwiches.

ラナイ島 シュノーケリングクルーズ  <1日2便/食事&アルコール2杯付き>

Having the beach on a remote island all to myself. 離島のビーチを独り占め

Reviewed by: ソロイモンガラ

We participated as a family of four.

It was a morning sunrise tour.

We drove to the Lahaina Harbor parking lot with a rental car. Even though it was early in the morning, there were staff present, and when we mentioned the Trilogy tour, we were able to park for $10 for the day.

Participants came from Canada, the United States, and South Korea, and there were no Japanese participants. There was no Japanese-speaking guide.

The ride was comfortable with no waves or wind, just as the sun was rising. On the way, we passed near a large pod of dolphins that were swimming around. The dolphins played a game of chase with the boat. The classic cinnamon rolls were freshly made and warm, and they were delicious.

At Floppy Bay, there was still no one around around 9 AM. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. The bay had high waves at the shoreline, so we needed to wear fins a little offshore where the waves were calmer, which confused my 9-year-old a bit. We saw plenty of fish, and the coral preservation was good, with excellent water clarity. Since there were some waves, it seemed better to stay away from the shallows and rocky areas. We observed underwater at a depth of 2 to 3 meters in slightly deeper water. Since we had children with us, it was reassuring that a staff member from Trilogy sat on a surfboard nearby to monitor everyone's safety. Finally, when we were getting back onto the sandy beach, we had to rush up with the waves, or we might get pulled back out, but the tour captain helped pull the children up onto the shore.

The city tour didn’t have much to see. It was evident that many Japanese immigrants had once contributed to pineapple farming, and their struggles were palpable. There were photos of Japanese people and Japanese dolls in the museum.

Back at the harbor, the barbecue chicken was delicious. Unlike snorkeling from the boat, being on land meant we could enjoy lunch without getting seasick, which is one of the great things about this tour.

The return trip was supposed to follow the same route, but there were a few waves. The captain had advised everyone to take motion sickness medication for the return trip, saying it would be bumpy, so I took it and ended up feeling good and falling asleep.

This felt like a true resort tour, and I was very satisfied.

家族4人で参加しました。

朝のサンライズツアーでした。

ラハイナ港の駐車場まではレンタカーで行きました。早朝ですが係りの人がおり、トリロジーのツアーというと一日10ドルで駐車できます。

参加者はカナダ、アメリカ、韓国からで、日本人はいませんでした。日本語ガイドもつきません。

行きは波もなく、風もなく、ちょうど朝日が昇る時間で、快適でした。ラハイナの北岸を西へ回り込む途中、イルカが大群で生息している近くを通ります。イルカは船と追いかけっこをしてくれました。定番のシナモンロールも作り立てで温かく、おいしかったです。

フロポイ湾は9痔頃はまだ誰もいません。独占状態です。湾は波打ち際で波が高くなるので、波が立たない少し沖でフィンを履く必要があり、小さい子供(9歳)は少し戸惑いました。魚はたくさん見られます。サンゴの保存もよく、水の透明度も抜群です。やや波があるので、浅瀬や岩場には近寄らないほうがよさそうでした。やや深いところで水深2から3メートル下を観察しました。子供連れでもあり、近くに同行したトリロジーの方がサーフボードの上に座って皆の安全を監視してくれていたので安心でした。最後に、砂浜に上がるときも波とともに一気に駆け上がらないと、また沖に引き込まれそうになりますが、ツアーのキャプテンが子供の手を引っ張って上陸させてくれました。

市内ツアーは特に見るものもないです。かつて日本から移民が大勢パイナップル作りに加わっていたことがわかり苦労がしのばれました。資料館に日本人の写真、日本人形があります。

港に戻って、バーベキューのチキンはおいしかったです。船の上からのスノーケリングと違い、陸上ですので酔うこともなく昼食を満喫できるのがこのツアーの良いところです。

帰りはほぼ同じ航路のはずですが、波が少しでました。あらかじめキャプテンが帰りはrompyだからと、皆に酔い止めを勧めましたので服用したら、いい気持ちで寝てしまいました。

これぞリゾートのツアーという感じで大満足でした。

カアナパリ沖 セーリング&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事・アルコール2杯付き>

Surrounded by sea turtles and coral. ウミガメとサンゴに囲まれて

Reviewed by: ソロイモンガラ

We participated as a family of four. There were no Japanese people, including the staff, but the cheerful staff made it enjoyable without feeling alienated.

We went snorkeling in Honaunau Bay, and there was only one other boat in the spacious bay, allowing us to swim freely.

The water was very clear, and we enjoyed the corals and fish. We encountered a large number of sea turtles, almost six of them gathered together.

We changed spots and went snorkeling again, but at that location, there were fewer corals compared to the first spot, as it was rocky.

The waves on the way there and back were not too rough, and I didn't feel seasick at all.

I think more Japanese people should consider visiting.

家族4人で参加しました。スタッフを含め日本人はいませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフで、とくに疎外感を感じずに楽しめました。

ホノルア湾でスノーケリングをしましたが、湾にはもう一船いるだけで、広々した湾でのびのび泳ぎ回れました。

海の透明度は高く、サンゴ、魚は十分楽しめました。ウミガメの数は半端なく、6匹近くまとまって集まっているのに遭遇しました。

スポットを変えて、もう一度スノーケリングしましたが、そちらは岩場で、最初のスポットほどサンゴは見られませんでした。

行き帰りの波はそれほど荒くなく、まったく酔わずに済みました。

日本人がもっと訪れてもいいように思います。

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>

First time snorkeling. 初めてのスヌーバ

Reviewed by: ソロイモンガラ

I had gone snorkeling a few times before, but it was my first experience with snuba, and I enjoyed it.

I chose to meet at the location. The parking was easy to find, but there were many tours at the port, and I got a bit lost.

The wind was strong on the way from the port to Molokini Island, and the boat rocked quite a bit. Many people seemed to struggle with seasickness. My eldest daughter (12 years old) took motion sickness medication beforehand but still felt sick.

We started with scuba diving. The water was very clear, and the coral reef was the most beautiful I had seen compared to any other reef I had visited. There were many types of fish, and the kids forgot about their seasickness and had a great time.

After that, we did snuba. A Japanese guide explained everything, so my wife and kids, who are not good at English, felt comfortable doing snuba. The method was simple, and we quickly got used to the breathing technique and were able to dive deep.

After that, we changed spots and went snorkeling again in a sea with sea turtles.

The staff was cheerful and kind, and I highly recommend this tour.

スノーケリングは何度かしていましたが、スヌーバは初めてでしたが、楽しめました。

参加は現地集合としました。駐車場はわかりやすかったですが、港は多くのツアーがあり、少し迷いました。

港からモロキニ島までは風が強く船もかなり揺れました。かなりの人が船酔いでつらそうでした。長女(12歳)もあらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでいましたが酔いました。

最初にスキューバをしました。海水の透明度は高く、サンゴ礁もこれまで訪れたどのサンゴ礁よりもきれいでした。魚の種類も多く、子供たちもそれまでの船酔いを忘れて、楽しめました。

その後、スヌーバをしました。日本人のガイドさんが説明をしてくれたので、英語の不得意な妻や子供も安心してスヌーバができました。やり方は簡単で、すぐに呼吸法に慣れ深くまで潜れるようになりました。

その後、スポットを変えウミガメのいる海で再度スノーケリングをしました。

スタッフは明るく、親切で、お勧めのツアーです。

Expeditions Lanai Ferry Boat Ticket from Maui | Round-Trip & One-Way Rides

Ferry to Lanai

Reviewed by: Sandra

Ferry ride was nice, fun at times with the waves. Beautiful view. Beaches in Lanai gorgeous. Good service. Not much to do in Lanai City. Most of the Restaurants there, which are not too many, close really early. We were lucky to be able to have a late lunch at one of them, cant recall the name, and the food was delicious.
