I felt very safe and had a great time snorkeling thanks to Takako and a Japanese person named Yuu who took care of everything. The rental equipment was well maintained. The water was beautiful and impressive.
タカコさんとゆう日本人の方が色々と面倒みてくださって、とても安心して、楽しいシュノーケルができました。貸し出し道具もきちんとケアされていました。水が綺麗で感動しました。

On that day, there was only one other group of Japanese people besides our group, but there were about 100 foreign tourists on board. The explanations and announcements were in English, but there was a Japanese guide who provided additional explanations.
Whether it was for our sake or if they usually do this, they were out on boards checking for safety in the water. It was reassuring to be able to ask for help in Japanese.
As we headed towards Molokini Island, the color of the sea changed, and it was truly beautiful. The water was shallow enough that we could see the bottom.
In the morning, we had a simple meal of fruits and bread, and for lunch, there were burgers or hot dogs. Personally, I found the taste to be rather basic and not particularly delicious.
For drinks, we had guava juice and coffee in the morning, and afterwards, there were cola and Sprite. There seemed to be water available separately. On the return trip, they also served alcohol.
There were separate restrooms for men and women, and there was a simple shower at the back of the boat. It was the type that you had to hold down manually, so it was difficult for shorter people to use, and it wasn't suitable for long periods.
Unfortunately, for several days including that day, the waves were rough and the water was murky, so we couldn't go to the spots where sea turtles could be seen. Instead, we ended up doing two snorkeling sessions at Molokini Island (which was beautiful, though).
If you're going to Maui, I think you should definitely visit Molokini Island.
その日は私たちグループのほか1組しか日本人はおらず、でも外国からの観光客で、100人くらいは乗っていたでしょうか。
説明や放送は英語でしたが、日本人のガイドさんがいて、別途説明してくれました。
海でも私たちの為か、普段からいらっしゃるのか、ボードで出ていて危険がないか見てくれていました。
日本語で助けを求められるので安心でした。
モロキニ島に向かう途中から海の色が変わり、本当にきれいでした。
水深があまりないので、底まで見えました。
朝はフルーツとパン等の簡単な食事、昼はバーガーかホットドックです。
私的には大雑把な味ですごくおいしいというものではなかったです。
飲み物は、朝はグァバとコーヒー、それ以降はコーラとスプライト。別途水があるようでした。
帰りの船ではアルコールも出していました。
トイレは一応男女別にあり、シャワーも船の後方に簡易のものがありました。
手で押さえておかないといけないタイプだったので、背が低いと大変だし、長時間は使えないです。
残念ながら、その日を含む数日は、波が多くて濁っており、ウミガメがみられる場所には行けず、
モロキニ島で2回のシュノーケリングをすることになりました。(きれいだったけど)
マウイに行くなら、モロキニ島へは行くべきだと思いました。

Bruce was awesome. Swept us up at the marina and asked if there was something in particular we didn't want to miss. We were open to anything so off we went. Nice hidden beaches. Great views. Lots of places we could have never found (or wouldn't dared) if we were touring alone. Bruce was so informative and was just comfortable to be around. The only improvement would have been the 4x4 that was advertised. The Yukon we went around in wasn't the best ride and that's fine but all the advertisements showed a very different vehicle.
Thanks Bruce for a great day!!!

The captain and crew were exceptional. The snorkeling was awesome, we even got to swim with turtles. We found spinner Dolphins on the way to Lanai that were fun to watch. The BBQ was good, hot dogs and Hamburgers and the morning food was fruit and muffins/donuts. The water was warm and there was lots to see. The boat had a slide that was fun to slide down into the water (optional).

Great attentive staff. Great venues at Molokini and Turtletown. I swam with a turtle. The food was great- best burger I've had in a while. The boat ride was great. I liked having the option of being out of the sun on the main deck or outside on the the deck or up on top and there was plenty of seating. It was nice having a restroom available. We really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend this trip for all ages. There was a toddler on board and some older people who did not swim but stayed on the boat and still had the option to view fish through the glass bottom window.

I participated in a snorkeling trip to Molokini Island. I had requested transportation, and they arrived on time, allowing us to board the boat without any issues. It took about an hour by boat to reach Molokini Island, and shortly after boarding, we had breakfast. During the trip, Takako gathered us for an explanation. Since we weren't sitting the whole time, I didn't get seasick.
I was incredibly impressed not by the fish, but by the clarity of the water at Molokini Island! I've been to various seas both domestically and internationally, but I've never seen such clear water; it was amazing. It was so clear that it took my breath away.
Afterward, we had lunch, and the burgers we ate on the boat were exceptional! We moved to another spot, and Takako guided us to see sea turtles, so we were able to see them multiple times. Additionally, when we went, dolphins showed themselves to us!
There were many foreigners on the boat, but Takako was always attentive, so it was perfectly fine. I would love to request this again when I visit Maui.
モロキニ島シュノーケルに参加しました。
送迎もお願いしておりましたが時間通りに来て下さって無事船に乗る事が出来ました。
モロキニ島までは船で一時間程で、乗船してすぐ朝食、途中でタカコさんに召集され説明を受けました。座りっぱなしではないので船酔いはしませんでした。
モロキニ島はお魚ではなくその透明度に非常に感動しました!
国内や海外の様々な海に行きましたが、こんなに透明な海は初めてで素晴らしかったです。
透明過ぎて身がすくむ程です。
その後昼食があり船の上で食べるバーガーは別格です!
別ポイントに移動し海ガメもタカコさんが場所を教えて下さるので何度も見られました。
また、私達が行った時はイルカが姿を見せてくれました!
船には外国人も沢山いますが、タカコさんが常に気を使って下さるので全然大丈夫です。
またマウイ島に行く際はお願いしたいです。

This is my third time, but 10 years ago... it was amazing. Five years ago... it was okay. This time... it was the worst. There were hardly any fish or turtles, and many people couldn't see any turtles. The number of boats has increased, and I didn't feel the charm. I don't think I'll go to Molokini on my next trip to Maui.
今回で3回目ですが10年前・・最高 5年前・・まあまあ 今回・・・最低 魚もカメもほとんど居ない、カメを見る事が出来なかった人も多数いました。船の数も増え魅力を感じなかった次回のマウイでは、モロキリには、行かないと思う。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide the service you expected.
Please understand that, as sea turtles and fish are natural creatures, there may be times when you cannot see them. I can imagine how disappointing it must have been not to observe many sea turtles and fish during the highly anticipated Molokini Island snorkeling tour. I hope that the staff's service and the views from the boat left you with at least some good memories.
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

I was initially hesitant to join this tour because I can't swim at all and I'm nearsighted, so I can't see anything without my glasses. However, I participated at the request of my companion. When I asked in advance if it would be okay, I received a response from a Japanese guide named Takako, who assured me that floatation devices and nearsighted snorkeling gear would be provided, so it would be fine. On the day of the tour, she kindly instructed us on how to use the floatation devices on the water, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling somehow. Although we only snorkeled at Molokini due to high waves that day and didn't see many fish or turtles, the beautiful, clear blue sea was stunning. Thank you very much.
私は全く泳げない上に、近視でメガネなしでは何も見えないので、このツアーの参加に前向きではありませんでしたが、連れの希望で参加しました。事前に大丈夫か聞いたところ、タカコさんという日本人ガイドの方が、浮き具や近視のスノーケルが用意されているので大丈夫とご返答いただき、当日も、浮き具の使い方などを海上で丁寧に指導していただき、何とかスノーケリングを楽しむことができました。当日は波が高いとのことでモロキニ一箇所だけのスノーケリングでしたが、魚や亀などはあまり見れませんでしたが、美しい、透明度の高い青い海でした。ありがとうございました。

We loved our combo (Helicopter/Van) tour of Hana. It is the best way to do it. It is a rather long but beautiful drive to/from Hana so taking a helicopter one way and seeing the sights including Haleakala is best of both worlds. Our guide Scott Ferguson (Scotty) was terrific. He was fun, informative and engaging. The Hana area is so beautiful. Hint: if you plan to swim I suggest you bring reef shoes. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

I visited Lanai Island for the first time. There was a Hawaii I had never seen before, and it felt like being on a completely different planet. The guide only spoke English, but Bruce, our guide, spoke in clear English that was easy for us to understand, so we didn't have any trouble. He provided a lot of detailed information about the history of Lanai Island and its future, which was very educational. If you're going to Maui, I definitely think you should make the trip to Lanai Island!
初めてラナイ島へ行きました。
そこには見たことのないハワイがあり、まるで違う惑星にいるかの様に思える場所がありました。
ガイドさんは英語のみですが、あまり話せない私たちに合わせて、ガイドのブルースがわかりやすい英語で話してくれるので、困る事もありませんし、ラナイ島の歴史や今後の行方など、とても詳しく教えてくださり、ラナイ島を知る勉強になりました。
マウイ島まで行くなら、絶対にラナイ島まで足を運んで欲しいと思います!

The show can be enjoyed in a very atmospheric location. You can appreciate not only the dancers' performances but also the production itself. Additionally, the view from the stage backdrop is beautiful, allowing you to enjoy a meal while watching a lovely sunset. I've been to other luau shows, but the food at this luau was the most delicious I've ever had. I recommend opting for the seating style where you sit on the floor instead of at a table; it's more enjoyable to watch from closer to the stage!
ショーはとても雰囲気の良い場所で見る事ができます。
ダンサーの踊りはもちろん、演出も楽しめます。
またステージバックの景色はとても美しく、綺麗なサンセットを見ながらの食事ができます。
他のルアウショーも良く観に行きますが、ここのルアウショーの食事は今までで一番美味しかったです。
オススメは、イステーブル席ではなく、床に座るスタイルの席にして、ステージ近くで見る方が楽しめますよ!
