We were lucky to see numerous whales on our trip to Lanai. We took this trip LY to snorkel at Hulopo'e Beach (which is a short walk from the marina) and had such a great time we decided to repeat the experience. It's a pretty straight forward trip - just be sure to buy your ticket a day ahead and arrive at least 30 minutes before so you can get in line to snag a good seat if you want to whale watch (in season).

On the day of the trip, we exchanged our voucher for tickets at Lahaina Harbor. We already had round-trip tickets, and the exchange was simple. The ferry was larger than I expected and didn't sway much, making for a comfortable 50-minute ride to Lanai Island. The harbor on Lanai is small, with one souvenir shop. Be sure to stop by; they have T-shirts designed for Lanai that I believe you can only get here.
Our goal was to have lunch at the Four Seasons, which is about a 15-minute walk along the paved road. There is a path to the hotel before the sign, but it's for service vehicles, so please make your way to the sign. The hotel, as expected from the Four Seasons, is difficult to describe in words but is excellent. The garden, in particular, is like a different world. There is a restaurant by the poolside in the garden for lunch. They will ask for your name, but it's perfectly fine even if you're not a guest, so just give your name and take a seat. The menu features organic vegetables. It's quite pricey, but delicious. By the way, breakfast here costs about 10,000 yen per person. For lunch, I had coconut curry.
There was also a male chef who spoke Japanese. It seemed there were no Japanese guests today. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch and returned to Maui from the ferry terminal. It was a unique experience to have lunch at the Four Seasons on Lanai Island.
当日はラハイナ港でバウチャーをチケットに交換します。既に往復のチケットが要されており、簡単に交換できます。フェリーは思っていたより大きく揺れることもなく快適にラナイ島に50分位で着きました。ラナイ島の港はこじんまりで、お土産屋さんが一軒あります。是非よって下さい。ラナイのデザインしたTシャツがあります。ここでしか入手できないと思います。
我々の目的は、フォーシーズンズでのランチで、徒歩で舗装道路沿いに15分程度歩くとホテルの看板があります。看板手前にもホテルまでの道がありますが、作業車用ですので看板まで頑張ってください。ホテルはさすがフォーシーズンズで言葉での表現が難しいけどエクセレント。特に庭園は別世界です。庭園のプールサイドにランチ用のレストランがあります。名前を聞かれますが、宿泊者でなくても当然OKですので、名前を告げて席に着きます。オーガニック野菜使用のメニューです。結構の値段がしますが美味しいです。因みに、ここの朝食は一人約1万円です。ランチはココナツカレーを頂きました。
日本語を話す男性のチーフも居ました。今日は日本人の宿泊は無いみたいでした。ゆっくりとランチをいただき、フェリー乗り場からマウイ島に戻りました。なかなか経験できないラナイ島フォーシーズンズでのランチでした。

The whales were fairly visible, and considering the price, it was worth it without being too long of a commitment. I was worried because the reception area was hard to find.
クジラはまあまあ見えてそこまで長い時間の拘束でもなくこの料金なら申し分なし。

I reserved a VIP seat, but there was a mix-up on the day, and I was directed to a regular seat (which I found out later). However, the seat I was given was towards the front of the regular section, so I was able to enjoy it as if it were a VIP seat. Later, I was contacted and informed that there had been a mistake with the seating, and they would refund the difference, which they did. I was lucky that my seat was towards the front of the regular section, but if it had been further back, I think I wouldn't have been satisfied, as I would have expected to be sitting in a VIP seat. Since it was nighttime, I thought it would be cold and brought a jacket, but it was even colder than I imagined!
VIP席で予約したが当日手違いがあり通常席の案内となった(後日分かった)。しかし案内された席は通常席の前の方だったのでこれがVIP席なのかと普通に楽しめた。
後日、席の間違いがあったので差額を返金しますと連絡があり、返金してくれた。たまたま普通席の前の方だったのでラッキーだったけど後ろの方なら当日はVIP席に座っているつもりだったので満足できなかったと思う。

The departure was at 14:15 on December 29. Before boarding, a Japanese guide came to find us and greeted us. There were only two groups of Japanese people. The guide kindly explained the positioning inside the ship. We were able to see spouts from a distance a few times, but there was only one jump in front and about two jumps to the right front. The one in front was relatively close, and we could see the stripes on the whale's belly, with the splash being incredibly large. I believe they mentioned that radar could not be used for whale protection, and we could only approach within 100 meters. During the port call, there was a spout rising in the right front, but there were no jumps. Even though the season has just started, I think it is possible to see whales during the approximately 2-hour cruise. However, I heard that around February 10 is when the number of whales peaks, so if you can choose the timing, that might be a good time to go. Since I couldn't see whales in either Ogasawara or Oahu, this was a very good experience.
12/29 14:15の出航でした。乗船前に日本語ガイドさんが我々を見つけに来てくれて、声をかけてくれました。日本人は2組だけでした。ガイドさんは、船内での位置取り等丁寧に教えてくれました。潮吹きは遠くで何回か見れましたが、ジャンプは前方で1回、右前方で2回くらいでした。前方のものは割と近くでクジラのおなかの縞が分かるくらいと水しぶきの余韻が半端なく大きかったです。クジラ保護のためレーダーが使えず、また100Mまでしか近づけないと言っていたと思います。寄港途中も右舷前方で潮が上がりましたがジャンプはありませんでした。シーズンが始まったばかりでも約2Hのクルーズでクジラを見ることは出来ると思います。ただ2/10位がクジラの数がピークになるとのことだったので、時期を選べるならその頃が良いのかなと思います。
小笠原でもオアフでもクジラを見ることができなかったので、とっても良い体験になりました。

There were 6 of us who decided to take the trip for the day to walk from Manele harbor to the beach for snorkeling and fun in the sun. A few people in our party were late to the dock and staff was able to change our tickets to a later ferry at no charge. Was easy to walk to the beach 5 minute walk and we saw tons of fish and had tons of room on a beautiful beach. Saw whales, dolphins, turtles, and flying fish on the ferry ride. Everyone had a blast!

The narrator was fantastic and did his best to point out cool things to see. The divers worked hard at finding interesting things to show us up close but it felt like we could’ve gone to a better location where there was opportunity to see more fish. Between Reefdancer and Atlantis, the latter was a much better experience.

The company did not state the name of the snorkel boat. My cab driver could not locate the boat and others had no idea what boat we were to go on. Later we noted in small print a reference to the name of the boat doing the cruise.
The cruise personnel were very nice but the only thing I was upset about was a mask they swapped with me that leaked. This limited the enjoyment of the snorkel experience. Otherwise I would recommend the snorkel cruIse. Sorry, I forgot the name of the boat.

We drove to the port from our accommodation, but if you're going by car, be careful about parking. In Lahaina, the parking lots in the city are almost full by noon, and street parking is not allowed. There are parking lots a bit further away, but I was a bit rushed since we didn't have much time before our meeting.
Due to the boat schedule, we had a bit of a wait, but while relaxing and looking at the sea at Lahaina Harbor, it didn't bother me at all. Right in front of us were Lanai and Molokai islands.
We were the only Japanese family there, and coincidentally, a Japanese guide joined us for the trip, providing us with a personal tour. It was super lucky! Before we headed out, we learned about whale behavior and Maui Island, and soon after, we received the news of a whale sighting. The guide pointed out directions like "10 o'clock" and "2 o'clock." At first, it was difficult to spot them, but as we got used to it, we began to recognize the spots where the whales were blowing water and moving through the waves. Some mother and calf pairs even came very close to the boat, creating a huge excitement on board with cheers all around. In less than an hour, there were over 20 photo opportunities. However, unless you have a telephoto lens, you won't be able to take postcard-like pictures. It seems there are laws regarding the distance from whales, so it might be better to see them with the naked eye.
The guide specialized in whale behavior at university, and since we learned a lot before heading out, I felt like a bit of a whale expert after the tour. I was moved by the affection of the whale mother.
The guide informed us that December, when we visited, was not yet peak season, and that February is the best time. If I can go during that period, I definitely want to join the tour again. During that time, it seems there are spouts of water everywhere.
Regarding seating on the boat, we were advised to sit near the front on the first floor, as that is the best spot for whale watching. Most of the participants went up to the second floor. I realized that having a Japanese guide on board greatly enhances the enjoyment of the tour, even if you're on the same tour. If possible, please inquire about it.
Lastly, a little mishap on my part. I boarded wearing a comfortable dress, but the wind was quite strong, which was a bit embarrassing. Pants would have been the right choice. The noon tour had intense sunlight, and since there was nothing to block it out on the sea, sunscreen is essential. I applied some, but I still got quite sunburned. I took off my hat because it might fly away.
滞在先から車で港へ向かいましたが、車で行く方は駐車場に要注意です。
ラハイナは街中の駐車場は昼にはほぼ満車。路駐は出来ません。ちょっと離れると駐車場はありますが、集合時間に余裕がなかったので少し焦りました。
船の関係で、少々待ち時間が長かったのですが、ラハイナ港でのんびりと海を眺めていると全く気になりません。目の前にはラナイ島とモロカイ島が見えます。
日本人が私たち家族だけで、しかも日本人ガイドさんがたまたま予定があって同乗してくれたため専属でガイドしてくれました。超ラッキーでした!!沖に出るまでに鯨の生態やマウイ島の説明を聞いていると、すぐに鯨発見の知らせが。ガイドさんが、10時、14時の方向・・・と次々と教えてくれます。はじめは見つけることが難しかったのですが、慣れてくると潮を吹いている場所や、波間に動いている鯨の親子がわかってきます。中には、船のすぐ近くまで来てくれる親子もいて、船上は大興奮。歓声があちこちで。1時間弱の間に、20回以上はシャッターチャンスがあったかと。ただし、カメラも望遠でなければ絵葉書のような写真は撮れません。法律でクジラとの距離が決まっているようで、肉眼で見る方がよいかも。
ガイドさんが鯨の生態を大学で専門に研究している方で、沖に出るまでに色々と教えてもらっていたので、ツアー参加後はちょっとしたクジラ博士になった気分。鯨の母親の愛情に感動しました。
ガイドさんからは私たちが訪問した12月はまだピークではなく2月が最高だと教えてもらいました。もし、その時期に行けるのであれば、是非、その時期に再びツアーに参加したいと思います。その時期は、あちこちで潮が吹き回っているのだとか。
船上の席については、先頭近くの1階の椅子を勧められました。こちらが一番、鯨を見るのが適しているのだとか。ツアーのほとんどの方は2階にあがっていましたが。何につけ、日本人ガイドさんに同乗してもらえると、同じツアー参加でも楽しさが倍増だなあ、と痛感した次第。可能であれば問い合わせてみてください。
最後に、私の失敗談。楽ちんワンピースを着て乗り込んだら、風がかなりキツくて参りました。恥ずかしいことですが。パンツが正解。正午のツアーはかなり日差しもきつく、遮るものもない海上のため日焼け止めも必須です。塗っていたのですが、それでもかなり焼けました。帽子は飛ぶかもしれずで脱いでいました。

This time, considering the burden on my elderly parents, I requested VIP seats, and it was the right choice. We were able to enjoy priority entry and relax in the front row. Our family was the only Japanese there; most of the attendees were from Europe and America. After watching the sunset, we had a proper dinner. The meal was served buffet-style as the sky turned to stars. Honestly, the number of menu items was considerably fewer than I expected, and while each dish was delicious, I started to feel a bit bored halfway through. However, drinks were all-you-can-drink, and with a variety of options, those who enjoy drinking might be very satisfied.
The show itself was full of lively spirit, and laughter echoed throughout the venue. With many attendees from Europe and America, the atmosphere was quite lively. However, since it lasts nearly three hours, the time felt a bit long. It was a bit chilly, so a light jacket is essential, especially since most drinks are served cold.
As for my parents' impressions, they said that while they don't need to see it two or three times, it's a show worth watching at least once.
On the way back, they sell commemorative photos taken at the entrance, and if the picture turns out well, it might be worth purchasing as a keepsake. Although it's a tourist price, my parents were happy with it.
During our stay, we used a rental car, but since we planned to drink, we requested a taxi from the hotel. Please be careful, as drinking and driving is strictly prohibited in Hawaii!
今回は高齢の両親の負担を考え、VIP席でお願いしましたが正解でした。
優先入場、前列席で、ゆったりと過ごすことができました。
日本人は私たちの家族だけ。ほとんど欧米の方々です。
夕焼けを見た後に本格的に夕食。星空に変わる中、ビュッフェ形式のお食事でした。正直、メニューの数は予想よりもかなり少なく、各一品は美味しいのですが、途中から少々飽きてきてしまいました。ただ、飲み物は飲み放題、メニューも多数のため、飲むのが好きな方には大満足かも。
ショー自体はサービス精神旺盛で会場中うけて笑いが起こっていました。欧米の方が多くノリが良いです。ただ3時間ちかくあるため、時間は少々長く感じます。肌寒いので、羽織りもんは必須。飲み物もほとんど冷たいものですので。
両親の感想ですが、二回、三回とは観なくてもよいが、1度は観ておきたいショーとのこと。
帰りがけに入場時に撮影した記念写真を販売していますが、映りが良ければ記念に購入しても。観光価格ですが両親は喜んでいました。
また滞在中はレンタカーを使用していましたが、飲酒するためホテルからはタクシーをお願いしました。ハワイも飲酒運転厳禁ですのでご注意を!!

I made a reservation the day before. It was very convenient since I could get immediate confirmation. I went to the counter at the time indicated on the voucher (30 minutes before the start), but there was no one else there, and people started gathering about 10 minutes before. There are no chairs to wait on, and it was hot, so I think arriving about 10 minutes early is sufficient. Once we boarded the boat, we quickly saw a whale spouting water after about 10 minutes. We spotted around 10 whales before reaching Lanai Island. One whale jumped, and I could see its entire belly, but unfortunately, I couldn't take a photo, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour with plenty of whale sightings.
前日に予約しました。即時確約出来るのでとても便利でした。当時バウチャーの通りの時間(開始の30分前)にカウンターに行きましたが他に誰もいなくて10分前くらいに人が集まってきました。待つところは椅子もないし暑いので10分前くらいに行くので十分だと思います。船に乗り込み10分ほどするとすぐにくじらが塩を吹くのが見えました。ラナイ島の近くに行くまでに10頭くらいのクジラが見えました。1回だけジャンプしてお腹も全部見えましたが写真には撮れずで残念でした笑笑 くじらたくさん見られて大満足のツアーでした。

I was able to see the whales breaching and diving multiple times. However, this is a matter of luck, and since it was just before the season, I only saw one whale. Additionally, due to regulations, the boat has a set distance it must maintain from the whales, so we were at a certain distance away.

Molokini Island is definitely a MUST-DO, so I joined the snorkeling tour. From before boarding the boat, coffee was already prepared, and once on board, there was a spread of breakfast fruits and muffins, which made me feel well-prepared. The captain provided various guidance during the boat ride, and Takahashi, a Japanese staff member, took great care of us (we were the only Japanese) as well as many families with children and elderly guests, which was very comforting. I was impressed by how hard the guides worked to assist the guests during scuba diving as well. For lunch, there were plenty of BBQ cheeseburgers and hot dogs, giving off a true American vibe! The guides all worked together to find turtles and showed them to the little kids. Later, the captain turned into a bartender at the bar counter, serving free beer and Mai Tais. The atmosphere on the boat felt like a social gathering, with everyone having a great time and cheering for the whales that occasionally appeared. We ride various boats during scuba diving, but this one had clean restrooms for both men and women, making it an incredibly fun tour. The staff were very attentive, ensuring that even those who couldn't swim and children who were afraid of the water could enjoy entering the sea. It was the best tour. Just seeing the amazing clarity of Molokini is worth it, so definitely consider joining!

船に乗るまえからコーヒーが用意されていたり、乗り込んだ船内には朝食のフルーツやマフィンが並んでいて、準備万端だなと感じました。ボート出向から船長が色々ガイドしてくれたり、日本人のタカさんは僕たち(日本人は僕たちだけでしたが)のほかにも、たくさんのお子さん連れや、年配の方をケアされていて、とても心地よかったです。スキューバの時もガイドさんたちは一生懸命お客さん助けてあげていてすごいなと思いました。ランチもBBQでのチーズバーガー、ホットドッグがたくさんあって、アメリカ!って感じでした。カメもガイドさん総出で探し、小さなお子さんにも見せてあげてました。その後バーカウンターは船長がバーテンダーになり無料でビール、マイタイ、無料でふるまってました。その後の船上はまるで社交場、ワイワイみんなで盛り上がり、時折現れるクジラに大歓声。僕たちはスキューバで世界色々なボートに乗りますがトイレも男女あったり、清潔で、最高に楽しいツアーでした。またスタッフさんたち全員で色々気を使ってくれるので、泳げない人も、水を怖がるお子さんも、海に入ること、楽しんでいたと思います。
最高のツアーです。モロキニの素晴らしい透明度をみるだけでも、気軽にぜひ参加してみてください!!

I experienced snorkeling for the first time in my life. About 90% of the participants were foreigners. However, there is a Japanese guide who teaches various important points to keep in mind while snorkeling, so I felt reassured. I absolutely recommend it.
シュノーケリングを生まれて初めて体験しました。参加者の90%は外国の方です。が、日本人ガイドのかたがいるので、シュノーケリングするときの注意点などいろいろ教えてくれるので安心です。絶対にお勧めです。

On my second trip to Hawaii, I visited Maui for the first time. I really wanted to go to Molokini, so I booked a tour. Our guide, Kana, was very kind and took a lot of photos for us, helped us search for sea turtles, and shared many personal stories. We rode on a boat with international guests, but I felt completely comfortable participating as a Japanese person! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I was so happy. It became the best honeymoon ever. I definitely want to join again! Thank you, Kana.
2回目のハワイで初めてマウイ島にいきました。
絶対モロキニ島に行きたいと思いツアーを予約しました。ガイドのカナさんはとても親切で写真をたくさん撮ってくださったり、ウミガメを一緒に探してくださったり、プライベートのお話もたくさんしてくださいました。海外のお客さんと一緒に船に乗りますが日本人でもアウェイ感なく参加することができました!海がとてつもなく綺麗で幸せでした。最高の新婚旅行になりました。また絶対参加したいです!カナさんありがとうございました。
