We participated with my 3-year-old child, my husband, and my mother, making a group of four. By the time we returned to the port, it was drizzling, but we were blessed with great weather, creating truly wonderful memories. My mother was a bit anxious about participating since she had hurt her legs and back not long ago, but thanks to the support of our Japanese guide, Kana, she was able to safely enter the sea and was very happy. She didn't want to get out of the water! The staff on the boat were very attentive, which made us feel very secure.
My husband carried our child into the sea. Although our child wore a life jacket and snorkeling goggles, they were too scared to put their face in the water. Many kids enjoyed using boards with scopes attached to them. There were also parts of the boat where you could peek into the water, and our child was delighted to see the sea from there.
In the morning, there was a buffet on the boat with fruits, cupcakes, and drinks. For lunch, we had a choice of hamburgers or hot dogs, with patties and sausages grilled fresh on the boat in a BBQ style. I couldn't drink since I was driving, but by the end, the boat turned into a bar where we could enjoy local craft beers and other drinks. All the staff were cheerful, and we had a really fun time.
They also provided reef-safe sunscreen, which I appreciated. I felt like they thought of everything. I would love to participate again when my child is older. Thank you very much!
3歳の子供と、主人と、母の4人で参加しました。港に戻る頃には雨がぱらついていましたが、いいお天気に恵まれて本当に素晴らしい思い出になりました。
母は少し前に足腰を痛めて、参加できるか不安なまま当日を迎えましたが、日本人ガイドのカナさんのサポートのおかげで無事海にも入ることができ、とても喜んでくれました。なかなか海から上がりたがらないくらいでした。船の上でもマメに声をかけてもらえるので、とても安心しました。
子供は主人が抱いて海に入りました。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルのメガネを付けましたが、怖くて海には顔を付けられませんでした。ボードにスコープが付いたものもあり、それを使って楽しんでいた子もたくさんいましたよ。船の中でも一部、海中が覗けるようになっているところがあるので、そこで海を見て喜んでいました。
朝は船の上でフルーツやカップケーキ、ドリンクなどのバイキング。昼はハンバーガーかホットドッグで、パティやソーセージは船上グリルで焼きたてを提供するBBQスタイルです。私は車なので飲めませんでしたが、最後は港に戻るまで船上バーになり、地元のクラフトビールなどのお酒も楽しめます。スタッフの方はみんなノリがよくて、本当に楽しかったです。
サンゴに優しい日焼け止めも用意してくれています。至れり尽くせりだなと感じました。
子供が大きくなったらまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The reef area the boat drove to and parked in was prettt boring. We saw maybe 4 types of fish and didnt travel anywhere else.

On the day of the tour, we drove there with a rental car. We quickly found parking, but the meeting point was not at the address listed; it was in the area circled in the map photo that was sent later. It was a bit confusing, but we found it right away. After confirming attendance, we signed the board and received our boarding passes before setting sail. Breakfast was already prepared on board, with fruits, bread, and coffee available. The boat is two stories, with a kitchen, bar, and two restrooms on the first floor. The second floor has the cockpit and benches for passengers. Most of the participants in the tour were young couples and families, with few Asians present.
The tour took us to two locations. The first stop was Molokini Island, where we could enjoy snorkeling for about an hour. The tour includes goggles and fins, but not wetsuits. We rented wetsuits for $10 each on the day. The water temperature was a bit low, so having one would be more comfortable if you plan to stay in the water for a long time. On the way to the second location, we had hamburgers, which were incredibly delicious after swimming! Be sure to enjoy them while breathing in the fresh air; it feels wonderful. The second spot is said to be where sea turtles can be seen around Waimea. As the guide mentioned, we were able to see a sleeping sea turtle! On the way back, drinks were available at the bar, including three types of beer and Mai Tais. We enjoyed a relaxing adult time. I highly recommend it.
当日はレンタカーで自分達で向かいました。駐車場はすぐに見つけられましたが、集合場所が住所に記載された場所ではなく、後から送られてくるマップ写真の丸で囲った部分でした。少し混同しましたが、すぐに見つけられました。出欠確認をして、サインボードにサインをして、ボーディングパスを貰って出航です。船内には既に朝食が用意されていました。フルーツやパン、コーヒーを楽しめます。船は二階建で一階部分にキッチンとバー、トイレが二箇所あります。二階は操縦席と客席用のベンチがありました。ツアーに参加されている人は、若い夫婦、家族連れが多かったです。アジア系は少ないです。ツアーでは二箇所を巡りました。一箇所目はモロキニ島。約1時間の間シュノーケルを楽しめます。ツアーにはゴーグルとフィンは含まれますが、ウェアは含まれません。私達は当日1人10ドルで借りました。水温が少し低いので、長時間水の中に居るのであればあった方が快適だと思います。二箇所目に向かう道中で、ハンバーガーを頂きました。これがまた泳いで疲れた身体には最高に美味しかったです!是非外の空気を吸いながら召し上がって下さい。幸せを感じます。二箇所はワイメアの辺りの海亀が見られると言われているスポットでした。ガイドさんの言う通り、居眠りをしている海亀さんを見る事が出来ました!帰り道では、バーでお酒が頂けます。3種類のビールに、マイタイなど。大人の時間をまったりと楽しめました。お勧めです。

Since the cruise was on April 13th, I was worried that there might not be any whales left. But they found them for us! We were able to see a mother and her calf, along with a male whale chasing after the mother. It turns out this male is not the father, just a pursuer. The mother whale is busy raising her calf and has no interest in him, yet he persistently follows her. Well, it might be nice to have him around like a bodyguard.
Thanks to our Japanese guide, Taka, who provided humorous and detailed explanations, we had a wonderful time. Maui has many surrounding islands, so the water is shallow and there are fewer sharks. This is why whales can safely give birth here. However, there aren't many fish in this area, so the mother whale is sacrificing her own body to feed her calf. Once the calf is big enough, they return to the rich feeding grounds of the Alaskan seas.
I really understood why there are so many whales in Maui, and I’m so glad I chose this cruise. Thank you, Taka!! And thank you, Veltra!!
4月13日のクルーズだったので、もうクジラはいないかと不安でした。でもちゃんと見つけてくれました!一組の親子と、そのお母さんを追いかけるオスのくじらを観ることができました。このオスはお父さんではないそうです。ただのおっかけ。お母さんくじらは子育てで忙しいのでその気はないのに、しくこく追っかけてくるそうです。まぁ、ボディガードみたいでいいのかもしれませんね。
日本人のガイドのタカさんのユーモアあふれる詳しい説明のおかげで、楽しいひと時を送らせていただきました。
マウイは周りに島が多いので水深が浅く、さめが少ないとのこと。だからくじらはここで安心して出産が出来るそうです。でもこのあたりは餌となる魚が少ないのでお母さんくじらは身を削って子供におっぱいをあげているそうです。
子供が十分大きくなったら餌の豊富なアラスカの海に帰っていくそうです。
マウイ島にくじらが多い訳もわかり、本当にこのクルーズにして良かったと思いました。
タカさんありがとう!!
そしてベルトラさんありがとう!!

The show while enjoying delicious food and drinks at a table right in front of the ocean with a beautiful starry sky was amazing! The Kahiko and Tahitian hula performances were very impressive.
The buffet is served in order by table, and drinks are all-you-can-drink. You will be asked to show your passport when ordering alcohol, but it wasn't necessary after the second time.
It gets quite windy at night, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket! You can enjoy the food, scenery, and show for about three hours.
海が目の前の席で星空も綺麗な中、美味しい料理とドリンクをいただきながらのショーは最高でした!カヒコとタヒチ、フラと見ごたえたっぷりです。
席ごとにビュッフェは順番に案内され、ドリンクは飲み放題です。お酒を頼む時にパスポートの提示を求められますが、2回目以降は特に必要ありませんでした。
夜は風が強いので上着はあった方がいいです!

We were blessed with great weather, calm waves, and high visibility, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling under excellent conditions. Among the participants, we were the only two Japanese, but thanks to the wonderful support from the staff member Takako, we were able to spend our time from check-in to check-out without any worries or inconveniences. Even though it was already April, at the end of the season, we were thrilled to see whales multiple times before reaching Molokini Island. At the snorkeling spot, Takako quickly found a sea turtle and let us know, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. The meals and drinks on the boat were diverse and delicious, and during snack time, they even walked around distributing cookies on the deck, showcasing their thorough hospitality. Throughout the tour, it was impressive to see the staff working energetically and happily. This became the best memory of our trip. I highly recommend this to anyone planning to visit Maui!
天候に恵まれて、波が静かで透明度も高く、とてもよい条件の中でシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。参加者の中で日本人は私たち2名だけでしたが、スタッフのタカコさんの気配りの行き届いた素晴らしいサポートのおかげで、チェックインからアウトまで、何の不安も不自由もなく過ごすことができました。シーズンも終わりの4月だったにもかかわらず、モロキニ島に着くまでに何度もクジラをみることができ、感激でした。シュノーケリングスポットでは、タカコさんがいち早くウミガメを見つけて教えてくれて、存分に楽しむことができました。船中での食事や飲み物も種類豊富で美味しく、おやつタイムには甲板にまでクッキーを配り歩いてくれるなど、徹底したホスピタリティを感じました。ツアーを通して、スタッフの皆さんがきびきびとかつ楽しそうに働いている姿が印象的でした。今回の旅行で一番の思い出になりました。マウイに行かれる方に、是非おすすめしたいです!!

I was moved to see whale breaches multiple times near the shore of Maui Island about an hour after departing from Lahaina Harbor at noon on April 7. I later heard from a local instructor that every year, from winter to early spring, 3,000 whales come all the way from Alaska to this area for calving and raising their young.
4月7日のお昼12時にラハイナ港を出航してから、1時間が経つころにマウイ島の岸辺のすぐ近くでクジラのブリッジを何度も見ることができ感動しました。地元インストラクターの人から、あとから聞いたことですが、毎年冬から春先にかけて3000頭のクジラがお産や子育てのために、この地にはるばるアラスカからやってくるんですって。

We have been coming to Maui for years but have never ventured off the island to visit Lana'i. First of all, Veltra allowed us to change the tour date from a Monday to a Thursday with no problem since we had a conflict come up. The ferry ride from Lahaina was easy and took about 45 minutes. The sea was very calm and although they recommend taking sea sickness pills, it wasn't necessary for this trip. Our tour guide Bruce, met us at the ferry dock on Lana'i. He drove us around in an air conditioned Suburban which was very comfortable. It was just the two of us so the tour was really personalized. We took the full day tour which really gives you a great impression of the island. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, then an hour for lunch and 2 hours in the afternoon. Bruce, our guide has lived on Lana'i for 20 years and was very knowledgeable. He has seen the positive changes that have occurred on Lanai' since Larry Ellison bought the island five years ago and thoroughly explained the evolution of the island through the current day. We were then dropped off at the ferry dock for the 4:30 p.m. ferry back to Lanai--note, you need to book the return ferry when you schedule the tour and for the all day tour, the 4:30 p.m. ferry is the one to take.

The hula itself was amazing. I still find myself mesmerized while looking at the videos I took. The meals were also more than sufficient, and the staff was very considerate. However, there were only Japanese people around, and while the family seated next to us spoke to us, I still felt awkward due to the language barrier. I can't help but think that it would be nice to have a show where you can purely enjoy the hula.
フラ自体は最高でした。今でも撮りためたビデオを眺めてうっとりしています。また食事も必要十分であり、スタッフもいろいろと気遣ってもらえました。ただ日本人は自分たちしかおらず、同じ席に着いた家族には声をかけてもらったりもしたのですがやはり言葉の壁で気まずい思いをしました。なんというか純粋にフラだけを楽しめるショーはないものかと思っています。

It started out as an ordinary boat ride, on a beautiful clear day, light variable winds. Then, nearing Lanai, we noticed dolphins swimming close to the ferry, going the opposite direction. Some were leaping and spinning. Our boat captain took the moment to slow the boat and loop back around to circle the dolphins again. Thrilling boat ride after all!
I guess part of my delight in the day was the weather -- beautiful and warm on the island. Return trip just as smooth as when I went out in the morning. Then saw a whale.
I'd do the trip again in a minute!

I experienced a scenic flight on Oahu, but the views in Maui were on another level! Here’s a simple outline for reference:
1. Wait for your turn at the Maverick lounge. It was very clean, possibly a new office, and it was great that we could freely use the restrooms.
2. The pilot kindly greeted each guest and provided explanations. He was a very nice pilot.
3. Finally, we took off! The scenery was unlike anything I had ever seen. Maui has more waterfalls than any other island, and there are many places that are hard to reach by car. I was truly amazed by the pilot's skills! Despite guiding us while flying close to the sights and stopping, the flight was incredibly stable!
4. We arrived at the tropical rainforest area! We started with a toast of sparkling wine! It seems they are offering sparkling wine for a limited time, and it really made me feel happy. Surprisingly, Maverick has purchased this vast area of tropical rainforest (laughs). The pilot had extensive knowledge about the plants and pineapples! I respect him for being able to guide us while flying!
5. After taking lots of photos, we departed to return to the office.
That was my scenic flight experience in Maui! I think it's an activity that anyone visiting Maui should definitely try. Next time, I plan to join with my parents. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
オアフ島でも遊覧飛行を体験しましたが、マウイでの景色は別格でした!
簡単な流れを参考までに♪
1.マーベリックのラウンジで順番を待ちます。新しいオフィスなのか、とてもキレイでトイレも自由にいけてよかったです。
2.担当のパイロットさんがそれぞれのお客さんに声をかけて説明をしてくれます。とても優しいパイロットさんでした。
3.いよいよ出発!とにかく見たことのないような景色が続きましす。マウイ島はどの島よりも滝が多く、なかなか車では見に行けない場所も多いようです。パイロットさんの操縦には本当に驚き!近くまで寄ったり、停止したりとガイドをしながらの操縦にも関わらず、本当に安定感あり!
4.熱帯雨林の敷地に到着!スパークリングワインで乾杯でスタート!期間限定でスパークリングワインを提供しているようですが、とっても幸せな気分になりました。熱帯雨林のひろーい敷地はまさかのマーベリックが購入したそうです(笑)草花の説明やパイナップル、とにかくパイロットさんの知識が豊富!操縦しながらガイドまでできるなんて!とにかく尊敬です。
5.たくさん写真を撮ってもらった後にオフィスへ戻るために出発
こんな感じのマウイ島遊覧飛行でした!
マウイ島に来たからには絶対に体験すべきアクティビティだと思います。
今度は両親と一緒に参加しようと思います。楽しい体験をありがとうございました!
