Since I'm going to Maui, I thought I'd be greedy and go all the way to Lanai! So I made a reservation.
When I went to the reception counter with my voucher, it was easy to board the boat. It was a beautiful ship, and I didn't notice any unusual smells (like heavy oil?). My friend was worried about seasickness and took some medicine, but it might not have been necessary. On the way back, they didn't take any and slept soundly.
We sat outside on the second floor. If the weather is nice, be careful of sunburn! We saw whales and dolphins, and the beautiful sea, sky, clouds, and breeze felt wonderful. For lunch on Lanai, we had loco moco, saimin, and freshly baked bread at Blue Ginger—so delicious!
I recommend bringing a cooler bag with drinks and snacks and wearing your swimsuit for a fabulous day on the island!
せっかくマウイに行くのだから欲張ってラナイまでGOでしょ~
って事で予約しました。
バウチャーを持って受付カウンターに行けば簡単に乗れちゃいましたよ~
綺麗な船で独特な船の臭い(重油の臭い?)感じませんでした。
友人は船酔いが心配だと薬を飲んでましたが 要らなかったかも
帰りは服用せず爆睡でした。
席は2階の外へ 天気が良かったら日焼けに気を付けてねぇ~
クジラもイルカも観れたし綺麗な海 空 雲 風 気持良かったなぁ~

We arrived on Lanai. We were usher to a suburban and driven to Lanai City. We assumed we would get the jeep that we would be able to drive. We were looking forward to the excitement of driving on the rugged roads. When when got to Lanai city we were met by Bruce's in another Suburban. He proceeded to drive us around the island and we never did get the jeep. Not sure what happened. I asked twice if this was the correct tour and told yes it was. Bruce's was awesomeness but it was not the tour we signed up for.

It was the perfect ending to our last night on Maui! The check-in time changed after we made our reservation, and the voucher stated a 6 PM check-in. However, we were able to sit down and start drinking at 6 PM, and the buffet began about 30 minutes after check-in, with the show starting even later.
Since alcohol is all-you-can-drink, they asked for a passport (or any ID that shows your age). A copy is fine, but a Japanese driver's license was not accepted. It was okay in Oahu, but here they were strict about alcohol, so my companion had to go back to the hotel to get it.
Before the show started, there was a ceremony where they presented a pig roasted in an imu. I felt really sorry seeing the pig's face looking right at us, but I enjoyed the kalua pig from the buffet with gratitude.
The show featured a variety of performances including hula, Tahitian, Samoan, Maori, and fire dancing. There was even a segment where we could participate on stage, so I joined in and danced. Since there were hardly any Japanese people in Maui, I felt it was easier to get into the spirit and enjoy myself even more!
マウイ島滞在最後の夜の締めくくりに最高の宴でした!
チェックイン時間は申し込んだあと変更になり、バウチャーには18時チェックインと記載されていましたが、18時から席についてドリンクを飲み始められるようになっており、ブュッフェが始まるのはチェックインから30分後くらい、ショー自体のスタートはさらにそのあとになります。
アルコール類も飲み放題なので、パスポート(年齢のわかるID)の提示を求められます。コピーでも大丈夫ですが、日本の運転免許証はダメでした。オアフでは免許証でも大丈夫なのですが…。アルコールについては厳しいので絶対NGだったため、同行者はホテルに取りに戻っていました。
ショーが始まる前にイムから焼いた豚を出す儀式がありました。眠りについて出てきたブーちゃんの顔がちょうどこちらを向いていて、気の毒でとてもいたたまれない気持ちになりましたが、ブュッフェのカルアピッグは感謝しながらおいしくいただきました。
ショーはフラ、タヒチアン、サモア、マオリ、ファイヤーダンスなど盛りだくさんで、途中ステージに参加できるコーナーがあったので一緒に踊ってきました。
マウイは日本人がほとんどいなかったのでいろいろノリやすくてより楽しめた気がします♪

I recommend going with someone who understands English! The staff was very kind and provided thorough explanations. Since I participated in February, there were whales everywhere. (The captain mentioned that it was a very lucky day.) We could see the whales' breaches from a distance, and the pineapple juice and cinnamon rolls were delicious! The group size of about 30 people was just right! I was able to enjoy it slowly while having some snacks!
英語がわかる人と行くならオススメ!スタッフもとても親切で丁寧な説明でした。参加が2月だったのでいたるところにクジラがいました。(船長はその日はとても運がいいと言ってました)クジラのブリッジは遠くの方で見る事も出来きパイナップルジュース、シナモンロールも美味!人数も30人ほどとちょうどいい!軽食を食べながらゆっくり楽しめました!

I visited Lanai Island for the first time. I went without any prior research, but the guide, who spoke only English, chose very easy-to-understand words to explain, allowing me to learn about the history and present of Lanai Island. I encourage you to challenge yourself with English conversation practice. Bruce will respond politely, even if he looks a bit troubled.
初めてラナイ島に行きました。どんなところか下調べもせず行ったのですが、英語のみのガイドさんもとても解りやすい単語を選んで説明してくれて、ラナイ島の歴史と今を観光できました。英会話の練習のつもりでチャレンジしてみてください。ブルースが困り顔ながら丁寧に返事をしてくれますよ。

I participated in January. It was an English tour, but the instructor's explanations were easy to understand, and the crew was kind. Breakfast and lunch were delicious.
I only participated in snorkeling. It was disappointing that there weren't many types of fish near Molokini Island. However, there were wild seals. My companion who participated in the snuba got seasick, which was a bit unfortunate.
On the way to and from, we were able to see whales up close, and I was thrilled to see more whales than on a whale watching tour.
1月に参加しました。英語のツアーでしたが、インストラクターの説明も分かりやすく、クルーも親切でした。朝食とランチが美味しかった。
私はシュノーケリングのみに参加しました。モロキニ島近くはそんなにたくさんの種類の魚が見られなかったのでそれが残念。でも野性のアザラシがいました。スヌーバに参加した連れは波で酔ってしまったのでちょっと残念でした。
行き帰りにクジラが見られると近くに寄ってくれて、ホエールウォッチング・ツアーよりもたくさん間近でクジラが見られて感激しました。

Despite taking motion sickness medication beforehand, I suffered from severe seasickness and couldn't enjoy it much. However, there was ginger ale available on board that is said to help with seasickness, and the staff's consideration was appreciated. My husband, who went with me, seemed to enjoy it, so that was good.

Molokini Island was a bit different from what I imagined... There were many cruisers docked, and it felt undeniably like a tourist spot, but the ocean was beautiful! At another snorkeling spot, I was able to see a sea turtle and was moved by the adorable fish I encountered. The lunch during the cruising (hamburger) was delicious, and the crew was kind (it was reassuring to have Japanese crew members). Above all, how many times did we see whales!! Even though it wasn't a whale watching tour... I thought it would be lucky if we encountered any, but the captain and crew's consideration was truly wonderful. It was a fantastic tour.
モロキニ島はちょっとイメージと違い…
沢山のクルーザーが停船していて、観光スポット感が否めませんでしたが・・・、海は綺麗!
別のシュノーケルスポットでは、海ガメを見つける事も出来、可愛いお魚さん達に出会えて感動しました。
クルージング中のランチ(ハンバーガー)も美味しく、クルーが親切(日本人クルーで安心)でした。
何と言っても、クジラを何度見た事でしょう!!

キャプテン、クルーの方々の配慮が本当に素晴らしい、素敵なツアーでした。

It was great flying from Kapalua airport as we were staying in Ka'anapali. Plus the flight over to Oahu on the small plane was wonderful. We had fantastic aerial views, saw some whales and a beautiful rainbow and our approach in Honolulu took us directly over Diamond Head. We did the whole tour - the Arizona, the Missouri, the Bowfin and the museum, so we felt a little rushed to see it all. Otherwise, it was a wonderful day!

This is my second time. I applied again because I enjoyed it last time.
Overall, I had more fun during the first visit.
- Molokini is deep, has few fish, and is far away.
- The snorkeling off Wailea was murky. I couldn't see the sea turtles I encountered last time.
- We had a great view of the whales this time.
- The hamburger was delicious, as expected.
- The swaying and waves were still intense.
I feel like once is enough. If you're just looking to snorkel, there are many places in Maui that are closer and have plenty of fish to see.
2度目です。前回よかったのでまた申し込みました。
全体的に初回のほうが楽しめました。
・モロキニは深くて魚が少ないし遠い
・ワイレア沖のシュノーケリングは水が濁っていた。前回会えたウミガメにも会えず
・クジラは今回のほうがばっちり見えました。
・ハンバーガーはやはりおいしい。
・揺れと波は相変わらず激しい
1度行けばいいかなという感じです。
シュノーケルだけならマウイにはもっと近くでいっぱいの肴に出会えるところがおおいので。

Suddenly, it started to rain, and I think the temperature at the summit of Haleakalā was close to 0 degrees. I felt that Iao Valley was a place with some kind of power. The people of Maui referred to it as "blessing rain." It felt like my unnecessary energy was being washed away. The hotel pickup was around 6:30, but the actual departure from the meeting spot was around 8:30, so it seems like the hotel pickup could be a bit later.
急に雨が降り出し、ハレアカラの頂上は0度に近かったと思います。イアオ渓谷はなにかパワーのある場所のような気がしました。マウイの人からは「祝福の雨」と言われました。自分の不必要なエネルギーが流されたような気がします。朝のホテルピックアップは6:30くらいですが実際の集合スポットからの出発は8:30頃で、ホテルピックアップはもっと後でもいいような気がします。

It was the season for whale watching, so we encountered many. Advice for participants: confirm your reservation by phone, communication is only in English during the tour, and there is a 'roll call' both going and returning for peace of mind. You can also choose the amount of food and drinks yourself, which is reassuring.

I cannot recommend the Four Winds enough! The crew are all fantastic and make you feel welcome right from the outset. Captain John is worth the price of admission alone! We were provided a great breakfast and later lunch with all drinks included, we were well looked after. The equipment used is sanitary and of a high quality and the boat itself is very comfortable.
We were lucky enough to see several wales on the way out to Molokini and the crater itself provided some of the best snorkelling you can do. The other patrons were of all ages and ethnicities and got along famously - this is a great option for those with kids too.
I find it hard to believe you could find a better way to go to Molokini than with the four winds!
Aloha Trevor,

It's a wonderful trip. We saw Whales on the way there and identify turtle near the harbor on the way back. the morning trip is pretty nice for the weather. The people on the boat are very nice. Thanks Zack/Reed. You got to try Snuba since it's easy and fun. You will have multiple chances to get into the water in the 2 hour period. What you can see depends on the season and what kind of fish are active there though.

I purchased a round-trip ticket and, after arriving on the island, took a shuttle bus to the town center for some exploration and lunch. After that, I got off at Flobob Beach near the port on the return bus, enjoyed the beach, and walked about five minutes to the port to catch the ferry back. It can be quite inconvenient without a car, but I managed to enjoy the town and the beach. There isn't much to see in the town, but the beach is beautiful and nice.
