All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I booked a discount plan for an early morning departure. The hotel was close to the departure location, so I was able to walk there. I was able to see whales several times, of course!! The interior of the boat was spacious and very comfortable, it was the best. I definitely recommend whale watching when visiting Lahaina on Maui!! by Hicchan

早朝出発の割引プランを申し込みました。
出発場所からﾎﾃﾙが近かったので歩いて行けました。
くじらももちろん何度か見れました！！
船内も広くとても快適で最高でした。
マウイ島　ラハイナに訪れた際はぜひホエールウォッチングお勧めです！！ｂｙひっちゃん

The day we went it was very windy so we didn't get to Molokini but an alternate site -- they clearly wanted our trip to be enjoyable. The staff was upbeat and humorous. The snorkeling was great, much variety of fish and turtles did make an appearance.

Very friendly staff, and great views of a spectacular landscape.

I participated in the tour starting at 7:30. I read in someone's experience that we would receive drink tickets, but we did not get any. We were able to have coffee on the boat for $1. While it wasn't a constant stream, we were able to see quite a few whales and dolphins, which was great. I ended up sitting at the back on the second floor, but it would have been better to sit in the front for a clearer view, so that was a mistake.

7:30からのツアーに参加しました。
どなたかの体験談にドリンクチケットが貰えるとあったのですが自分たちはありませんでした。船上でコーヒーを$1で飲めました。
次から次とというわけではなかったですが、かなりコンスタントにクジラやイルカがみれて良かったです。
座席は2Fの後ろに陣取ってしまったのですが、前方の座席に座った方が見やすく失敗でした。

I returned home yesterday.
I participated in the OP starting at 7 AM.
I was able to see more than I expected.
The beautiful appearance from the back to the tail while diving and even the jumps.
I walked a bit to the parking lot, but I used the free parking and went shopping right after the OP.
What was disappointing was that only a few in my family understood English, so not everyone could grasp the explanations.

Also, during boarding, they took group photos, which are sold for $20 along with a CD containing pictures of the whales.
Get ready!

昨日帰国しました。
朝7時からのOPに参加しました。
思ったより見れましたよ。
潜るときの背から尾までのきれいな姿やジャンプまで。
駐車場は少し歩きましたが無料駐車場を利用し、OP後にそのまま買い物しました。
残念だったのは家族の内、英語を理解できるのが一部しかいなかったため全員が説明を理解できなかったことかな。

あと、乗船時にグループごとに写真撮影してくれて、クジラの写真が入ったCDと一緒に20ドルで販売されます。
心の準備を！

The sunrise was beautiful as expected...but, Ron, the driver
is an absolute hoot! He is mild mannered and a very safe
driver. Be sure to dress warmly, the cold is almost unbearable.
I would go again if I was assured Ron would be the driver.

The scenery was beautiful! Our tour guide was a local who shared her knowledge of the flora and fauna. The hike is not difficult but can be challenging in places. Wear good shoes! The waterfalls were spectacular and their pools provided a welcomed opportunity to oool off.

In December, the tour just started a couple of days ago. It was about a two-hour cruise, and we saw whales about three times in the distance. Although we didn't see many whales, the guide and the crew were kind, and above all, the sea was very beautiful, making for a pleasant cruise. It might be good to note that there are still fewer whales in December compared to January or February.

12月で、一昨日から今年のツアーが始まったばかりというタイミングでした。
二時間くらいのクルーズで、クジラは遠くに3回くらい現れました。
あまりクジラは見れませんでしたが、ガイドさんや船員の皆さんは親切で、何より海がとても綺麗で、気持ちいいクルーズでした。
1月や2月～に比べると、12月はまだクジラが少ないと注意書きがあっても良いかもしれません。

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)

全く泳げない私が溺れることなく無事にシュノーケリングを楽しめて良かったです！
テレビで見た事はありましたが、あんなに目の前に綺麗な魚が実際に見れるとは思わず、とても感動しました！
今回はどうにか顔をつける事しか出来ませんでしたが、次回チャンスがあれば是非奥深く潜ってみたいな～と思えるような体験でした。
泳げない人も是非挑戦してみてはいかがでしょうか。笑

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.

It was a great adventure made fun with Crews humorous dialog!

It was early in the morning, but the boat was quite full. Surprisingly, there were whales nearby. We were able to see some very large ones and a couple of whales up close, and my wife, who saw them for the first time, was delighted.

朝早かったのですが、船はかなり一杯でした。意外と近くにクジラがいます。かなり大きいものや、カップルのくじらなど近くで見ることができ、初めて見た家内も喜んでいました。

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。

We saw whales doing different things. We saw the tails and back of the whales as they swam and they were completely oblivious to us. I was hoping to see whales up close. But the state law does not allow the boat to get close. So they were not really that impressive from that far away.

I have never kayaked or snorkeled before. The kayaking was great the instructor/guide went over everything with us. I liked it so much I will start doing it here at home. My wife loved the snorkeling. I had a bit of an issue in the begging because I sink in water so once I put the life vest on I was good to go. I recommend a gopro camera for some unforgettable footage.

The activity was really well organised, the staff was very informative and knowledgeable, there was plenty of time for snorkelling. There was plenty of food and drink for everyone onboard.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this activity.

Very enjoyable day at Maui Ocean center. Always good to see marine life.

My family enjoyed this adventure a lot. All staffs are so friendly. Breakfast and lunch were so great. Will never forget this great experience.

There be amazing sights beneath the waves. What a wonderful experience for someone with bad claustrophobia (spelling it is the toughest part). You heard right you land lubbers, this terrific tour is truly for everyone. The crews are pleasant and very accommodating. Every part of the trip is safety first, and the underwater views are, well take a look. Enough said!

We had a great time on this adventure. It is suitable for all ages. It was great seeing what was on the ocean floor. The staff were very friendly. The snack provided was great. I would recommend this to everyone

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。

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.

Was the BEST!
Our tour guide Sonya was absolute amazing, so knowledgable und very nice.
Also we learned so much about the history of Hawaii. Her friendliness made it to the best events we did on Maui. We would absolutely do it again!

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.

We have heard SO MANY amazing reviews about this and unfortunately because of the government shut down (womp womp // politics <sigh>) we did not get to go. However, I am still reviewing because we were devastated we couldn't go and Veltra was so helpful in assuring us of a full refund and gave us ample notice. Bravo to them :) SO disappointed!

Saw some very interesting sea life; the "ocean piranhas" were crazy. Wished we could have seen the sea turtles up close.
Staff was very friendly and informative.

Had a great trip, enjoyed the time on boat and in water, saw great sights, lots of fish, turtles. Great sites, good food, drinks on board. Would recommend .

Very informative and interesting. Only suggestion would be to include water shoes in the items to bring as the waterfalls are very rocky on the bottom and hurt your feet.

I had wanted to go snorkeling at Molokini Crater for a long time, but I never had the chance until now. This time, I decided to take the plunge and signed up for this tour.

When I arrived at the meeting point in the morning, a Japanese staff member was waiting, and I completed the check-in process. We took a commemorative photo (which was available for purchase after disembarking, but not many people bought it), and I was able to enjoy some coffee there as well. After boarding the boat and securing my seat, we gathered on the first floor for a briefing. The staff spoke a bit quickly, but it was reassuring to have someone from Japan there.

Upon arriving at Molokini, we put on our fins and entered the water. At first, I was scared, but the water was clear and beautiful, and I saw many fish. I gradually got used to it and started having fun. I was also able to see turtles and dolphins, which was very moving. However, it was disappointing to see someone chasing a turtle aggressively just to take photos.

After returning to the boat for lunch, we headed to the next turtle spot, but it was murky, and I couldn't see many fish. It was supposed to be a turtle spot, but I didn't see any turtles at all.

Having experienced the beautiful sea earlier, my excitement dropped a bit, but it couldn't be helped. I thought it would have been better to go to the turtle spot after Molokini.

Many people didn't see turtles during the snorkeling, and we ended by searching for turtles swimming in the sea. The staff was friendly, so I had a very enjoyable time.

以前からモロキニ島のシュノーケルがしたかったものの、なかなか機会がなかったのですが、今回は思い切ってこちらのツアーに申し込み、参加することにしました。

朝、集合場所に到着すると、日本人のスタッフが待機しており、手続きを済ませました。
記念写真を撮ってもらい（下船してから販売していましたが、買っている人はあまりいませんでした。）、そこでコーヒーも飲めました。
船内に乗り込み、座席を確保したら、１階に集合して説明を受けます。
スタッフは少し早口でしたが、日本の方がいるというだけで安心しました。

モロキニ島に到着すると、足ひれなどを装着して海へ。
最初は恐かったのですが、海が透き通っていてきれいで魚もたくさん見れ、段々慣れてきて楽しくなりました。カメやイルカも見ることができ、とても感動しました。
ただ、写真を撮りたいがためにカメをすごい勢いで追いかけている人がいて残念でした。

船に戻り、ランチを食べ、次のカメスポットに向かったのですが、こちらは濁っていてあまりお魚も見れず、カメスポットのはずが全くカメも見えませんでした。

先にきれいな海を体験した後だったので、少しテンションが下がりましたが、仕方がありません。
カメスポットに行ってから、モロキニに行った方がいいのにな～と思いました。

シュノーケル中にはカメが見れなかった人が多く、最後に海で泳いでいるカメを探して終了。
フレンドリーなスタッフだったので、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

A friend of mine recommended the Molokini Snorkel & Turtle Town Cruise. It was a first for all of us snorkeling and the crew set aside time to tell us what we needed to know. They did an excellent job and made sure they stayed close to the children. All equipment needed was available and demonstrated. The continental breakfast and lunch were very good and arranged in an appealing manner. The crew was very attentive to everyone on board. We had a great time and when we return, will definitely do it again....
