Maui
A few years ago, I participated in this tour with my family, a total of 11 people. It was a lot of fun. My family enjoyed snorkeling and beach volleyball, while I relaxed in the shade, forgetting the daily hustle and bustle. I thought it was a tour where people of various ages, from my 1-year-old niece to my father-in-law in his 70s, could enjoy themselves in their own ways. The best memory was when we returned to port, sailing into the sunset; the atmosphere on the boat was wonderful. I definitely want to recommend this to honeymooners.
This year, it will be just the five of us: my husband and I, our daughter and her husband, and our grandchild. This will be our seventh time on the Trilogy cruising tour (and our second time to Lanai). The reason we choose Trilogy is that we don't get seasick. I had a tough experience once on another company's boat in Maui, where I got seasick. If you think you might not do well on a boat, please give this a try. I promise you will create wonderful memories.
何年か前に、このツアーに参加しました。私と家族、総勢11人で。楽しかったです。家族は、シュノーケルやビーチバレーをして楽しみ、私は、木陰で日頃の喧騒を忘れ、ゆったりと過ごしました。1歳の姪から70歳過ぎた義父まで、さまざまな年齢の者が、それぞれの楽しみ方ができるツアーだと思いました。一番の思い出は、帰港のとき、夕焼けの中を帆を立てていく船上は、とてもムードが良かったです。ハネムーナーには、是非、お薦めしたいです。
今年は、私たち夫婦と娘夫婦と孫の5人です。
トリロジーのクルージング・ツアーは、今年で7回目(ラナイ島へは2度目)になります。トリロジーを選ぶのは、やはり酔わないからです。マウイで、一度、他社の船で、酔って、辛い思いをした経験があるからです。船は苦手と思っておられる人は、是非、参加してみてください。素晴らしい思い出をお約束します。
This was our first time in Maui. It was a bit nerve-wracking since it was our first overseas trip with our 3-year-old child! I was wondering if the "Haleakalā Star Tour" would be suitable for kids, but since it was our special trip to Maui, we really wanted to see the beautiful sunset and starry sky, so we decided to participate!
On the day of the tour, my daughter was so happy with the very kind Mr. Yamauchi! During the drive, when Mr. Yamauchi mentioned, "Sometimes you can see whales around here," my daughter kept asking, "Whales? Whales?" Then Mr. Yamauchi stopped at a spot where we might see whales and helped us look through the binoculars! I was truly moved by Mr. Yamauchi's thoughtfulness!!!
With that kind of experience, we were able to enjoy the wonderful sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā while feeling Mr. Yamauchi's interesting talk and kindness from start to finish. Our first trip to Maui became a very special memory! Thank you so much!
私たちは今回初めてのマウイでした。
3歳になる子供を連れての初めての海外旅行だったのでちょっとドキドキでした!
「ハレアカラの星ツアー」も子供連れで大丈夫かなぁと思いながらも私たちがせっかくのマウイなのでぜひきれいなサンセット&星空を見てみたいと思って参加しました!
当日!とっても優しい山内さんに娘もうれしそうでした!
ドライブ途中に山内さんが「このへんではクジラが見えるときがあるんです。」の一言に「クジラは?クジラは?」とずっと聞き続けていた娘。
すると山内さんは途中で止まってクジラが見えそうなところに双眼鏡を合わせてくれました!本当に山内さんのお気遣いに涙しそうでした!!!
そんな感じで最初から最後まで山内さんのおもしろトークと優しさをひしひしと感じながらハレアカラの素晴らしいサンセット&星空を見ることができて初マウイはとてもいい思い出になりました!本当にありがとうございました!
Thank you for your hard work the other day.
The whales that children see for the first time are incredibly large fish compared to what adults perceive.
I am grateful to parents who encourage their children to experience the starry sky and nature when they are small.
Please come back to Maui to play with your child again! I look forward to it.
先日はお疲れ様でした。
子供が始めてみる鯨は大人が感じるものより
とてつもなく大きなお魚なのですよね。
小さいときに星空とか自然に触れる事を薦めるご両親に感謝です。
またお子さんと一緒にマウイに遊びに来てくださいね!
楽しみにしています。
Guides Jenny and Steve were great. My horse was amazing on the gallop and the tour was the perfect length.
The tour of Pearl Harbor is one of a kind! I've always wanted to see the USS Arizona and it felt like a dream come true being out there. We also had the best tour guide! Cousin Ben you rock! He wasn't even scheduled to be our tour guide that day, but in the end he took care of us for over 12 hours. It was an Amazing day!!
Visit the USS Arizona EARLY to get there before all the other tourists! It gets crowded fast!
If it is raining for this event it will be moved indoors. Our Luau had to be moved indoors and it wasn't as much fun... Because they had to move the location it took longer to get started. The staff was very kind. If there is the chance of rain, try to reschedule for another night if possible! (The open bar helped make it all OK!)
The trip was great. Plenty of time to see everything. Mike is a great tour guide. Thanks
I joined this tour by myself alone, but the tour was totally enjoyable. Our guide was very informative. He pointed out the place which has historically important, or Hawaiian plants, which has so many unique shapes and way to use.
He made whole day. And the view from the Lookout point was WOW!
I will recommend this tour for Anyone.
it turn out better than we expected! if you are planning on vacationing in Maui, you must attend this Luau! it was very entertaining and the best I've seen! My husband love its and requested to attend again, on our next trip to Maui.
It was a wonderful trip. The staff were excellent, friendly, andknowledgable. We will definately do the snuba again.
This activity was the hightlight of our trip. The staff was awesome, and the scenery breathtaking.
Very enjoyable, food was very good. Fire part of the program very good.
We had a good time ...... especially the ride home. Was a cloudy/cool day but we made the best of it.
Cheers
This was my first time to Oahu and I really enjoyed the tour. The Driver was waiting at the airport for us and was very friendly. He explained the sights to us and guided us thru Pearl Harbor and the Missouri. The only negative thing was that we were not booked on a return flight to Maui until 735pm. The tour was over at 5:00 pm Some people on our bus had flights returning to Maui @ 6:30 pm, so these people had to get to the airport for their flight. The driver dropped the people from the tour bus that had the 7:35pm flights at a restaurant so we could eat while he took the 4 people who had 6;30 pm flights back to the airport. There were 12 people left at Ruby Tuesdays to eat or just sit and wait for the driver to return. I would have preferred to stay longer in Waikiki or have done some more sightseeing instead of just sitting there waitng for the bus driver to return from the airport.
The best way to capture the beauty of Maui and surrounding islands. Absolutely stunning!
My best friend and I enjoyed watching all of the unique dances and the fire show was definitely a site to see!! Would love to see it again. The food was delicious too :)
I was with my mother during this vacation. She and I went to Maui as part of a medical convention. Our tour guide was "Ed" and he was just as great as I had previously read about him on this VERY SITE!! Ed is very knowledgeable about all of Hawaii, not just the areas that you will go to. He spent a great deal of time talking to us about Hawaiian culture as well as the tour route information.
First off we were picked up at our hotel by the tour company and transported to the Maui airport promptly by the timing described in our confirmation email. We then flew to Oahu and met Ed. This process is made easier for the tour guide and you by stickers that you are supposed to wear, it helps the guides find you. We then went to Pearl Harbour as the first part of our trip. Pearl Harbour was very moving as I suspected it would be. It is an experience to be there and unless you are a small child, I am sure all teenager aged upwards would be moved by the sites, the movie, the wall and the actua
Tour was OK! Pearl Harbor definitely was memorable, although on-site tour guide at USS Missouri was too interested in his own knowledge. USS Arizona Memorial was nice to see, but otherwise disappointing. Our tour guide, Nappy, was very informative and pleasurable. Alot of down time, though! 1 1/2 hours on Waikiki (dressed for touring) was a bit disconcerting. 1 1/2 hours wandering around several food establishments, waiting to go back to the airport, was a waste. Overall, very costly for what we got! Inter-island airline prices are cheaper individually, and, I'm sure that a self-guided tour could be arranged easily.
After the venue opened, there was a long wait from when we sat down to when the meal started, but it was helpful that drinks were brought to our seats.
At the beginning of the show, there was a time for the children to go up on stage and learn hula. Some girls had dressed up for this.
As for the food... it wasn't very delicious. However, considering the price, it was about what I expected.
開場後、座席に座ってから食事開始までの時間が長かったですが、
座席にドリンクを運んでくれるので助かります。
ショーの初めに子供たちがステージにあがってフラを習う時間がありました。
このためにオシャレしている女の子たちもいました。
お料理は・・・あまり美味しくありませんでした。が、お値段を考えるとこんなものかと。
It was me, my sister, and four children (ranging from elementary school to preschool) participating. Since the little ones were scared of the ocean, I planned to take turns snorkeling with my sister, but the Japanese staff member was incredibly kind. She took the kids on a surfboard with a viewing window (?), bringing them to various points where we could see different fish and turtles. The child who was scared of the ocean was overjoyed. At the turtle viewing point, they exclaimed, "I saw six of them!" and spotted more turtles than I did!
I have participated in snorkeling tours in other countries before, but I could never enjoy snorkeling at a leisurely pace with kids. This time, thanks to the staff member taking care of the children, I was able to fully enjoy snorkeling at my own pace!
The turtles gracefully swimming in the vast ocean were wonderful, and I will definitely participate again next time I go to Maui. I highly recommend this tour for families with children!
私・姉・子供(小学生から幼稚園児の4名)の参加でした。
小さな子どもは海を怖がるので、姉と交代でシュノーケルを楽しもうと思っていたのですが、スタッフの日本人のお姉さんがとっても親切で、子供をサーフボードとのぞき窓付きのウェイクボード(?)に乗せて、いろんな魚やカメのいるポイントに連れて行ってくれました。
海を怖がっていた子供も大喜びでした。
カメの見えるポイントでは、「6匹も見た~」と親の私よりも多くカメを観ていました!
今までも、他の国でシュノーケルのツアーに参加していますが、子連れではゆっくりとシュノーケルをする事はできませんでした。
今回は、お姉さんが子供の面倒をみてくださったおかげでゆっくりとシュノーケルを堪能させていただけました!!!!
広い海を優雅に泳ぐカメもすてきだったし、次回、またマウイに行く時は絶対に参加します。
子連れのファミリーにもぜひぜひおススメのツアーです!!
Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for your very kind coordination.
Although we couldn't see the sunset and starry sky at the summit due to the rain, the commemorative photo at the 3,000-meter peak will remain a cherished memory. My 85-year-old father and 79-year-old mother were also very impressed.
It was disappointing not to see the starry sky, but more than that, I was completely satisfied with Mr. Yamauchi's warm and thoughtful service throughout the day in Maui.
Just being able to see the countless stars scattered in the mid-mountain was amazing, so I can only imagine how wonderful the starry sky at the summit must be. I definitely want to try again to see the twilight sunset and the starry sky. Next time, I will aim for Haleakalā. I look forward to your assistance again then!
山内さん、とても親切なコーディネーションをありがとうございました。
雨で山頂でのサンセットと星空が見れませんでしたが、3000メートルの山頂での記念写真は思い出に残ります。
85歳の父と、79歳の母も大感激しておりました。
星空が見れなかったのは残念でしたが、それ以上に山内さんの暖かくて思いやり一杯の対応でマウイの一日が大満足でした。
中腹で無数にちりばめられた星空が見られただけでもすごかったので、山頂での星空はきっとすばらしいものと想像しています。
絶対に再チャレンジしてたそがれのサンセットと満天の星空を見に行きたいと思います。次回はハレを狙っていきます(ハレアカラね)
その節はまたよろしくお願いしますね!!!。
Wow...what an experience.
The the captain along with the crew were fabulous. The day started off with a continental breakfast which was great. For lunch we were served the choice of chicken breasts, hamburgers or hot dogs along with both adult and children beverages.
Instructions provided for snorkeling were great. As a first timer they provided enough information about what to expect for the first time. They were right on the dime about what you would experience. By the end of snorkeling I was comfortable enough to go without the flotation device.
We are so looking forward to the next time and will definitely try snuba. Mahalo....
Highly recommend this one. We were so fortunate to have a tour guide who was so passionate about his job. He answered each and every question with more than enough information. We wished we would have booked a longer tour than just an hour. Mahalo...
For the money is was not worth attending. We had a better Hawaiian meal at the Kitchen. Quality of entertainment was lacking; flame performer was the only one who seemed to have any talent.
Our trip was ruined by rain but not only did this Company give us all they could under the cirmumstances, they refunded the entire purchase price. We didn't get to do alot but we still flew to Oahu and toured the city of honolulu. The Staff was exceptional and we are going to go through this Company for all of our tours next year. They are a class act. Thanks for everything.
Me and my girlfriend loved it. We are talking about taking a hula lesson (if it's offered around bay area). The fire dancer guy was awesome. I bet that requires a lot of training.
We had a great time on this luau. Highly recommended.
We had a good time at the crater. We were a little bummed because we didn't get to see the sunrise but it is unpredictable and we understand that. It was still a great experience and we did get to see some sun rising behind the clouds.
If we make it back to Maui we would definitely try it again in hopes to see the sunrise the second time!
Thanks for an informative tour!
Ive been on this twice already!! Went with some buddies and we didn't realize that we were going to another island, the first time. Lanai is so beautiful with lots of reef fishes and the bluest water I have ever seen. Oh and we also saw some whales, the second time. Everyone on the crew is super awesome and really took care of us. Will be seeing you guys again ... hopefully sooner than later. lol.
My husband and I went snuba diving on the Aqua Adventure and loved it. The boat was smaller then some and held less people, which gave the passangers more individual attention from the crew. We had both a breakfast and lunch buffet aboard ship.The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the money. Reccomended for all.
Our tour driver, ED, was wonderful! He made the day extremely enjoyable. We found that being part of the tour made our day stress free. We did not have to worry about driving in a city that we were unfamiliar with. We also saw sites that we would not have seen otherwise. Ed kept our group on time so that we could make the most of our day.
This activity was amazing!!! the staff was so great and the instruction was very clear. I had never been snorkeling or swam in the Ocean so I was nervous but it turned out to be such a great experiance for all 5 of us that went, deffinently recommend this activity, next time in Maui I will go again. :)
