Maui
We had a great time on this hike. Got to see lots of plants and trees. Jeremy was an awesome guide. Knew when to stop and show things and when to slow down for people. Very informative. Waterfalls were great; recent rain so they were active.
This is the best snorkeling/SNUBA activity on Maui. Trilogy does a fantastic job and my wife and I had a great time on this activity. I highly recommend it to all! We will definitely do it again the next time we visit Maui.
My wife and I had a marvelous time at the Luau, the intertainment and food were excellent.
The timing was great on the trip. They made it clear how things would work. We couldn't have ask for anything more for the price.
Although the weather was not ideal we enjoyed the entire trip. The staff was great and the Captain was very entertaining.
Since it was December, the water was cold, and while you can rent a wetsuit, they only provide short-sleeved tops, so I think it's better to bring long-sleeved swimwear if you're going during the colder season. I want to try this experience during a warmer time next time. Swimming with sea turtles is the best!! My husband is not a strong swimmer, but he enjoyed snorkeling, so I think snorkeling is fine even for those who are not good at swimming. If you are going by car, please be careful about parking. There is a short-term parking lot nearby for boat transfers, so make sure not to get it wrong.
12月だったため、水が冷たくて、ウェットスーツは、借りれるのですが、半袖の上着のみなので、寒い時期に行かれる方は、長袖の水着とかを持参したほうがいいと思います。今度はあったかい時期に体験してみたいです。ウミガメと泳げるのは最高です!!主人は、泳ぎが苦手なのですが、スヌーバ楽しんでいたので、泳ぎが苦手な方でも、スヌーバは大丈夫だと思います。車で行かれる場合は、駐車場に気をつけてください。船送迎用の短時間の駐車場がそばにあるので、間違えないように気をつけてください。
I really enjoyed this cruise with my wife. We went on an afternoon cruise and had burgers for lunch. It was a different experience having lunch on a cruise after snorkeling. The staff was very nice and friendly and made sure we enjoyed and had fun. If we go back to Hawaii, then will definitely take this cruise again.
We first headed to Haleakala. There was a pleasant stop along the way for drinks and snacks. The views were spectacular and there was ample time to see the sites without being rushed. Judy, our tour director and driver, offered interesting facts and other information but appeared to be very bored and tired of the tour routine. She repeated the blurb about taking nothing but pictures about a gazillion times. Maybe it was just an off day for her. We headed to a very nice town for lunch. This was a pricey place, but the food was excellent and the service good. After lunch we headed to Iao and the rainforest inside. It was beautiful and once again we had ample time to see the sights without being rushed. At Iao we were switched to a different van that met us there and headed back home. All in all, a very pleasant day!
While we all had a lot of fun and took some great pics, the 2-hour ride ended up closer to 3 hours. Although I'm not an expert on horses, it seemed to all of us that the horses were exhausted and hungry. The house and surrounding grounds are not well maintained with too much trash around and lots of tall weeds around the buildings and lots. There were two guides. Our main guide was the younger one, and he was very nice. The other tour guide kept coming back and trying to make the horses run and go faster, which was a little unnerving for beginners...especially since the majority of the ride was either uphill or downhill on very rocky terrain. There was very little pasture riding. As the tour description indicates, you will get VERY dusty. We are glad we went for the ride, but would much rather have taken a shorter, easier ride for our first time. It's definitely a great picture-taking opportunity.
Our tour guide was very informative and fun to talk to. We saw some great views and had a fun time on the helicopter ride. The best wat to see Hana!!
Had a great time!
The Japanese staff provides explanations, so it's reassuring. Near the coast of Molokini Island, the former volcanic crater is deep, yet the water is highly transparent. There are many fish and corals, and with a float, even beginners won't sink, allowing you to just dip your face in and see underwater clearly. At the turtle point, I could see sea turtles right below me, and from the boat, I was able to spot turtles popping their heads out of the water.
日本人スタッフがいて説明をしてくれるので安心。
モロキニ島の海岸近くは、元火山の火口で深い、それなのに透明度の高いこと。魚も沢山、サンゴも沢山、浮きを付ければ初心者でも沈まないので顔を漬けるだけで水中が手の取るように。
ウミガメポイントではウミガメが真下に、船からは顔を出したウミガメを見ることが出来た。
It was a nice trip to molokini, the water there was so clear compare to other snorkeling spots. Although the wave there was turning larger at the end and we did not see too much fish. The staff was very helpful and experienced in helping people in the water.
Another destination was turtle town and we did enjoyed our fantastic turtle-experiences.
I would definetely recommend people to go there, but possibly earlier time (We took off around 8am).
I went to the beach during Golden Week, but it seems there was a low-pressure system, so we weren't blessed with sunshine...
Without the sunlight, the water temperature was low and very cold, and it didn't feel like we were in Hawaii, which was really disappointing.
We did see a sea turtle, but the water clarity was low, so it felt like just a silhouette. There were also people snorkeling who were chasing the sea turtle, so it might have been murky...
When we arrived, there were only two Japanese couples, so it was just the right amount of people without being crowded.
GWに行って海に入りましたが、低気圧が居た?らしく太陽には恵まれなかった…
日差しがない分、水温も低くとても寒かったし、ハワイに来た感じはしなくて、めっちゃ残念でした。
ウミガメには会えましたが、水の透明度が低くてシルエットだけって感じでした。
スヌーバしている人もウミガメを追いかけていたので、濁っている感じだったのかも…
私たちが来たときは日本人はカップルの二人で計四人でがやがせずちょうどよかったです。
The cruise started off with a simple but nice breakfast and coffee. The staff is great and very friendly. The boat is also very large and roomy. Things went downhill when halfway to molokini it was announced the wind was to high and we were going to a second location. We got to this location about an hour into the cruise and went out snorkeling. I hate to say it, but it was DISSAPOINTING. We had better snorkeling at the beach outside our hotel. We stayed in this location for several hours, but after about 1 hour we had seen everything. We got back on the boat and they had a great lunch, tons of food. Then we just sat around for 2 hours waiting for all the children on the boat to finish up. On a side note, it seemed like the kids all enjoyed it. Personally, for this amount of money, it would be nice if they mentioned they dont always go to Molokin and offered some kind of rebate. Additionally, they need a better location to go as a backup plan. Obvioulsy our trip was differen
I almost gave this one a overall 3 rating, but the views and weather were so nice I had to go with 4. There are however a few downsides to this one. First, there were a ton of empty tables, but they still opted to seat couples with other couples in tiny cramped tables forcing everyone to make akward conversation. Personally, I wanted a nice relaxing time with my GF to enjoy the experience, not have to talk to someone we just met. Second, the dinner was just ok. Maybe it is because everywhere else in Maui is so good, this dinner just didnt quite do it for me. The staff were friendly enough, but they work in an assembly line fasion and once you get your food its hard to find them again.
If you are very sociably and want to meet people this might be a better cruise for you. If you want a nice quiet evening with just you and your loved one this might not be the best option.
Was a good show, all the dancers were very good. I so enjoyed the food. The pork was amazing..... Met some nice people for different places and had a great time. A little pricey i thought, but if you have never been, it was a good experience.
Last September, my family of three participated in the tour. There was a Japanese guide on the boat that departed from Maalaea Bay, which made us feel at ease. The water around Molokini Island was incredibly clear, and we were able to see a variety of colorful fish, making us lose track of time. It was also great that during snorkeling, we could enter the water and get back on the boat at our own pace.
Although it was September, the sea temperature was lower than expected, so we rented wetsuits on the boat.
昨年9月に、家族3人で参加させていただきました。マアラエア湾より出航した船中にも、日本人ガイドさんがいて安心して参加できました。モロキニ島の水は驚くほど透明で、色とりどりの魚を見ることが出来、時間を忘れてしまいます。またシュノーケルの時は、自分のペースで海に入ったり船に上がったりすることが出来たのが良かったです。
*)9月でしたが海水温は思ったより低く、船内でウエットスーツをレンタルしました。
Molokini Island, known for its snorkeling visibility, was a place I had always wanted to visit.
On the day of my visit, the wind was a bit strong and the waves were rough, but the visibility was outstanding! I also experienced snuba! As someone who struggles with equalizing my ears, I was satisfied, but my friend who has a diving license seemed a bit underwhelmed. This activity might be more suitable for beginners since it's easier than experience diving.
From the boat, I was able to see a sea turtle swimming by. Along the way, I was lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins.
The water temperature during Golden Week is quite cold. For those who are sensitive to the cold, a wetsuit is essential! The crew, including the Japanese staff, were cheerful and kind, which made me feel at ease.
シュノーケルの透明度で知られるモロキニ島は、一度行きたかった場所。
当日は、やや風が強く波も荒かったが、それでも透明度は抜群!!
スヌーバーも体験! 耳抜きの苦手な私は満足できたが、ダイビングライセンスを持つ友人は、少し物足りなかった様子。こちらは、体験ダイビングより簡単なので、初心者向きなのかもしれない。
船の上から、泳いできたウミガメを観ることができた。途中、イルカの群れにも遭遇でき、ラッキーだったと思う。
GWの水温はかなり冷たい。寒がりな日本人には、ウェットが必須!!
クルーも、日本人スタッフも明るく優しいので、安心でした。
I've done Piiholo Ranch Zipline before, so I wanted to try something different for our Maui trip this time. The course was awesome, and we were really high up on the tree. We just zipped from a tree to a tree, so we didn't hike too much like the other tour.
The guide was awesome, and we played a game the whole time we were on the tour, and the winner got a free T-shirt. Be ready to scream. I highly recommend this tour!
It was great. Had the best time. Dustin our guide was the best. Very informative and helpful. Would highly recommend....
We took advantage of the opportunity to try snuba. Jamie was great! He helped us feel comfortable very quickly so that we could enjoy ourselves. He was a perfect tour guide under the water, pointing out unique bits of corral and things living within the corral, dusting things off as we went.
The Captain worked hard to help us find unique and interesting things to see as we sailed - made for great pictures and gave us a better understanding of the wildlife and the environment they live in.
The crew on board were fantastic hosts! So helpful and cheerful! They all worked really hard to make sure we were safe and happy and well fed...all with a smile! We really appreciated all of their efforts to make us welcome!
Mahalo! Mahalo! Mahalo!
We participated with our family at the end of March. My parents in their 70s also had a great time.
The explanations are all in English, but I was able to understand the main points. The horses are very well-trained and know what to do, so there were no issues.
It seems that this is the only place where you can experience galloping, and it was very exciting.
3月末に家族で参加しました。70代の両親も、楽しく参加しました。
説明は全部英語ですが、要点は理解できます。馬はとっても慣れていて、よく分っているので、問題ナシです。
ギャロップを体験できるのは、ココだけらしく、大興奮でした。
We had an amazing time with our guide Finch with South Pacific Kayak!! We got to witness so many amazing, beautiful things! Whales breaching out of the ocean, Dolphines dancing 10 feet in front of us and the beautiful, colorful fish and turtles that inhabbit the ocean. Such an amazing time!! We wanted to go back the next day!! This was our first time Kayaking, it was amazing.
Thank you for an amazing adventure!!
Kristy and Tim
Bob was so entertaining and informative! He made the early morning quite pleasant. However, I think arriving at Haleakala 75 minutes before sunrise was a bit too soon. Too much time to stand around and be cold. Also, the bus was a little small and cramped for leg room. The payoff, the spectacular sunrise, was exceptional.
We just took this trip last week and had a great time. This was our first time snorkeling and the staff was so helpful in getting our gear ready and giving us pointers on what to do to make the most of our snorkeling adventure. We did see whales, dolphins and sea turtles!! The lunch was great! I would definitely make this a stop for us again in the future.
Our day started with a guided tour around the Maui Dragon Fruit Farm. The tour started with our guide sharing their story about the farm and how Dragon fruit helps your health.... very interesting! The farm is really big and has other crops than Dragon Fruit.
Aqua Ball was a BLAST!! My kids and I had such an incredible time jumping into the ball (which contains water so remember to bring your swim suit) and rolled down the course. Super Fun!!
Next up was the zipline! It was great zipping across the farm but I only wish the lines were higher and longer so it would be more thrilling! However, it was perfect since I was traveling with my 7 year old daughter.
OVERALL, This tour was educational, unique and FUN!! I will definitely suggest this tour to all of my friends who visit Maui!!
The snorkeling was great with clear waters and lots of fish, and we even saw sea turtles up close. We spotted whales too, the hamburgers were delicious, and the snooba was good. But the best part was definitely the boat ride back. The wind was strong and we got soaked from the splashes, but it felt like riding a roller coaster at an amusement park, and it was so much fun. I want to go again next time.
シュノーケルは海はきれいで魚がたくさん、海亀も一杯近くで見れました。鯨も見れたし、ハンバーガーはおいしいし、スヌーバも良かった。けどなんといっても一番良かったのは帰りの船。風が強く波しぶきでビショビショになりましたがほとんど遊園地のコースターに乗ってる感覚で凄く楽しめました。
また次回も行きたいです。
We saw lots of dolphins, 5 turtles, and many whales swimming around our boat!!! Best trip ever!!! We def will do it again!!!
The song says"Catch a wave and your sitting on top of the world" I DID IT!! On Feb. 13th I had the unique chance to learn how to surf. Let me say I am 65 years old and our(my) instructor Stacey did it all right. I had good "pre-flight" instruction and indeed got up on 3 waves. I did not stand up, but the feeling of being on a board on my knees was remarkable. From check-in to instruction to surfing..it was all ONO. Mahalo guys it was SUPER.
