We had a wonderful time with the crew of Aloha Blue on our snorkel cruise. Breakfast was continental with a lovely spread of fruit, pastries and breads. Juice, iced tea, coffee and water were also available.
We were taken to two snorkel spots and had an hour in each location. The time went by much too quickly! Joe, crew member, was in the water with us the entire time to point out sites and ensure everyone's safety. We were also provided with swim noodles (take advantage of those!!) to help swim against the current.
The second spot is known as "Turtle Town" and there are ample opportunities to spot sea turtles. It is great fun looking at the beautiful underwater world of Hawaii and seeing the sea life. Though we only saw one turtle it was worth the experience!
Lunch was cold cut sandwiches, which was disappointing as the tour information specified a BBQ lunch. The food was very good despite the misinformation.

The difference from the seas I've dived in before is that there are fewer fish, but the encounter rate with sea turtles is very high. It became the best memory for my friend who dislikes fish. The boat rocked quite a bit, and many people got seasick, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. There was a Japanese female staff member who was very kind, making it a reassuring tour to participate in.
今まで潜った海と違うところは、魚は少ないけどウミガメ遭遇率は非常に高いというところです。
魚嫌いな友達には最高の想い出になりました。
船は結構揺れ船酔い続出してたので、酔い止めは飲んでかれた方が良いです。
スタッフの方で日本人の女性がおりとても親切にしていただき安心して参加できるツアーです。

We went as a family event and enjoyed the event itself, but we bought the pictures and video and two people in our group were not in the video, very disappointing. And there were only a few clips of us in the video. Most of the video is prerecorded stream that a few clips of our family was added to. The crew sells the t-shirts and receive the profit from them but was not willing to give a discount for 8 shirts. Not good business. When paying $60 for video and pictures the crew should have made sure the camera and sd card were working for each ride. Not happy.

For those who have never scuba dived this is a good introduction. Water was a little choppy, but staff were great in explaining what you could and couldn't do and where you could and couldn't go. For those that suffer from sea sickness should definitely take something before going, but all in all a good 1/2 day tour to do

Having never been to Hawaii, we wanted to experience many of the romantic options available for couples. This dinner cruise did not disappoint. Our only complaint was the table and chairs - small table with chairs bolted to the floor. Uncomfortable and inconvenient.
The meal itself was well prepared and quite tasty. As non-drinkers we enjoyed the free beverages; however there was always a wait at the bar and we had to wait to get additional drinks. A suggestion would be for the servers to bring non-alcoholic beverages to those without the "alcohol bracelet."
Though Mother Nature did not cooperate and the sunset was less than spectacular, the experience itself was great. The entertainment was well done and we enjoyed the singer's lack of conversation while playing nice music.
This is definitely something we would enjoy doing again.

From the Sheraton Maui where I stayed, it was surprisingly close to walk along the beach walk, arriving in about 7 to 8 minutes. There was an ID check at the entrance, and it seems it's better to have something like a driver's license. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything on me, but I passed without any issues.
While waiting in a long line, we were greeted by a typical Hawaiian light rain, which resulted in a rainbow appearing in the sky, and a nearby American family took a photo for us. By the way, it seems there were quite a few fewer participants from Japan.
The content of the show was well-structured and enjoyable, although the food had a somewhat wild impression for a Japanese person.
宿泊したシェラトンマウイからビーチウォークにそって歩くと思いのほか近く7~8分で到着しました。入場ではIDの確認がありました。運転免許証なんかは持っていたほうがよいようです。あいにくなにも持っていませんでしたが難なくパス。
長蛇の列で待つなか、ハワイらしい小雨に見舞われましたが、おかげで空に虹がかかり、近くのアメリカ人ファミリーが写真を撮ってくれました。ちなみに日本からの参加者はかなり少ないようです。
ショーの内容は構成も分かりやすく楽しめるものでした、食事の内容は日本人的にはいくぶんワイルドな印象でした。

I was able to walk in the beautiful sea around Molokini Island. There were about four types of fish, but their beautiful colors captivated me. Near the coast, about 30 minutes away from Molokini Island, I heard there are sea turtles, so I went full throttle... There they were (+。+) Oh no, there were five turtles resting on the ocean floor. The depth was about 10 meters, I think? One of them, for some reason, started coming towards me... I remembered the staff's advice not to touch them... but I wasn't trying to touch it... (^o^)/ As it kept getting closer, I managed to take a close-up photo of the turtle. Thank you, turtle.
The staff were very cheerful and responded quickly and accurately. However, their English was a bit fast, and I had to really concentrate to understand... But they were very kind. It was a very satisfying tour, and the thrilling cruising was the best!
One last thing, the cruiser sways quite a bit while anchored. It might be better to take motion sickness medication beforehand... Americans seem to have very tough stomachs. As for Japanese people?? I noticed that we are quite sensitive to such things.

A very nice ride from the marina to Molokini. I liked the intimacy of the small boat compared to having too many people on your trip on the larger boats that filled the area.
We have 3 families of 4 and the crew. Nice size to get the most out of the trip.
You could do some fishing along the way if you wish (on the way back, they caught a huge Mahi Mahi fish). You get a continental style breakfast on the way out.
You see some amazing things in crystal clear waters at Molokini.
We did go to Turtle Town. My wife had a close up encounter with a turtle on his way to the surface for air. She thought it was great.
A nice lunch on the way back which included burgers and sandwiches.
A good day for everyone on our trip.

We participated as a family of four.
It was a morning sunrise tour.
We drove to the Lahaina Harbor parking lot with a rental car. Even though it was early in the morning, there were staff present, and when we mentioned the Trilogy tour, we were able to park for $10 for the day.
Participants came from Canada, the United States, and South Korea, and there were no Japanese participants. There was no Japanese-speaking guide.
The ride was comfortable with no waves or wind, just as the sun was rising. On the way, we passed near a large pod of dolphins that were swimming around. The dolphins played a game of chase with the boat. The classic cinnamon rolls were freshly made and warm, and they were delicious.
At Floppy Bay, there was still no one around around 9 AM. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. The bay had high waves at the shoreline, so we needed to wear fins a little offshore where the waves were calmer, which confused my 9-year-old a bit. We saw plenty of fish, and the coral preservation was good, with excellent water clarity. Since there were some waves, it seemed better to stay away from the shallows and rocky areas. We observed underwater at a depth of 2 to 3 meters in slightly deeper water. Since we had children with us, it was reassuring that a staff member from Trilogy sat on a surfboard nearby to monitor everyone's safety. Finally, when we were getting back onto the sandy beach, we had to rush up with the waves, or we might get pulled back out, but the tour captain helped pull the children up onto the shore.
The city tour didn’t have much to see. It was evident that many Japanese immigrants had once contributed to pineapple farming, and their struggles were palpable. There were photos of Japanese people and Japanese dolls in the museum.
Back at the harbor, the barbecue chicken was delicious. Unlike snorkeling from the boat, being on land meant we could enjoy lunch without getting seasick, which is one of the great things about this tour.
The return trip was supposed to follow the same route, but there were a few waves. The captain had advised everyone to take motion sickness medication for the return trip, saying it would be bumpy, so I took it and ended up feeling good and falling asleep.
This felt like a true resort tour, and I was very satisfied.
家族4人で参加しました。
朝のサンライズツアーでした。
ラハイナ港の駐車場まではレンタカーで行きました。早朝ですが係りの人がおり、トリロジーのツアーというと一日10ドルで駐車できます。
参加者はカナダ、アメリカ、韓国からで、日本人はいませんでした。日本語ガイドもつきません。
行きは波もなく、風もなく、ちょうど朝日が昇る時間で、快適でした。ラハイナの北岸を西へ回り込む途中、イルカが大群で生息している近くを通ります。イルカは船と追いかけっこをしてくれました。定番のシナモンロールも作り立てで温かく、おいしかったです。
フロポイ湾は9痔頃はまだ誰もいません。独占状態です。湾は波打ち際で波が高くなるので、波が立たない少し沖でフィンを履く必要があり、小さい子供(9歳)は少し戸惑いました。魚はたくさん見られます。サンゴの保存もよく、水の透明度も抜群です。やや波があるので、浅瀬や岩場には近寄らないほうがよさそうでした。やや深いところで水深2から3メートル下を観察しました。子供連れでもあり、近くに同行したトリロジーの方がサーフボードの上に座って皆の安全を監視してくれていたので安心でした。最後に、砂浜に上がるときも波とともに一気に駆け上がらないと、また沖に引き込まれそうになりますが、ツアーのキャプテンが子供の手を引っ張って上陸させてくれました。
市内ツアーは特に見るものもないです。かつて日本から移民が大勢パイナップル作りに加わっていたことがわかり苦労がしのばれました。資料館に日本人の写真、日本人形があります。
港に戻って、バーベキューのチキンはおいしかったです。船の上からのスノーケリングと違い、陸上ですので酔うこともなく昼食を満喫できるのがこのツアーの良いところです。
帰りはほぼ同じ航路のはずですが、波が少しでました。あらかじめキャプテンが帰りはrompyだからと、皆に酔い止めを勧めましたので服用したら、いい気持ちで寝てしまいました。
これぞリゾートのツアーという感じで大満足でした。

We participated as a family of four. There were no Japanese people, including the staff, but the cheerful staff made it enjoyable without feeling alienated.
We went snorkeling in Honaunau Bay, and there was only one other boat in the spacious bay, allowing us to swim freely.
The water was very clear, and we enjoyed the corals and fish. We encountered a large number of sea turtles, almost six of them gathered together.
We changed spots and went snorkeling again, but at that location, there were fewer corals compared to the first spot, as it was rocky.
The waves on the way there and back were not too rough, and I didn't feel seasick at all.
I think more Japanese people should consider visiting.
家族4人で参加しました。スタッフを含め日本人はいませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフで、とくに疎外感を感じずに楽しめました。
ホノルア湾でスノーケリングをしましたが、湾にはもう一船いるだけで、広々した湾でのびのび泳ぎ回れました。
海の透明度は高く、サンゴ、魚は十分楽しめました。ウミガメの数は半端なく、6匹近くまとまって集まっているのに遭遇しました。
スポットを変えて、もう一度スノーケリングしましたが、そちらは岩場で、最初のスポットほどサンゴは見られませんでした。
行き帰りの波はそれほど荒くなく、まったく酔わずに済みました。
日本人がもっと訪れてもいいように思います。

I had gone snorkeling a few times before, but it was my first experience with snuba, and I enjoyed it.
I chose to meet at the location. The parking was easy to find, but there were many tours at the port, and I got a bit lost.
The wind was strong on the way from the port to Molokini Island, and the boat rocked quite a bit. Many people seemed to struggle with seasickness. My eldest daughter (12 years old) took motion sickness medication beforehand but still felt sick.
We started with scuba diving. The water was very clear, and the coral reef was the most beautiful I had seen compared to any other reef I had visited. There were many types of fish, and the kids forgot about their seasickness and had a great time.
After that, we did snuba. A Japanese guide explained everything, so my wife and kids, who are not good at English, felt comfortable doing snuba. The method was simple, and we quickly got used to the breathing technique and were able to dive deep.
After that, we changed spots and went snorkeling again in a sea with sea turtles.
The staff was cheerful and kind, and I highly recommend this tour.
スノーケリングは何度かしていましたが、スヌーバは初めてでしたが、楽しめました。
参加は現地集合としました。駐車場はわかりやすかったですが、港は多くのツアーがあり、少し迷いました。
港からモロキニ島までは風が強く船もかなり揺れました。かなりの人が船酔いでつらそうでした。長女(12歳)もあらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでいましたが酔いました。
最初にスキューバをしました。海水の透明度は高く、サンゴ礁もこれまで訪れたどのサンゴ礁よりもきれいでした。魚の種類も多く、子供たちもそれまでの船酔いを忘れて、楽しめました。
その後、スヌーバをしました。日本人のガイドさんが説明をしてくれたので、英語の不得意な妻や子供も安心してスヌーバができました。やり方は簡単で、すぐに呼吸法に慣れ深くまで潜れるようになりました。
その後、スポットを変えウミガメのいる海で再度スノーケリングをしました。
スタッフは明るく、親切で、お勧めのツアーです。

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and my first stay on Maui. I had high expectations for snorkeling at Molokini due to its renowned water quality, which is considered one of the best snorkeling spots.
While the water clarity was decent, I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of fish. The swimming area was also limited due to the presence of many other boats, which restricted movement to avoid collisions. Even after moving to a second location known for high sea turtle sightings, the situation with the fish remained unchanged. I was glad to see sea turtles, but overall, I felt it was lacking.
Based on experiences I read, I anticipated the water would be cold, so I rented a wetsuit for an additional $10. However, at the end of July, the water temperature was warm enough that a towel on the boat would have sufficed.
I participated with my family, but my wife still got seasick despite taking motion sickness medication, so I think it's important to be cautious if you're not feeling well or are sleep-deprived.
Since there are no other ways to participate in Molokini besides the tour, I recommend trying it at least once. However, you may realize that there are many better snorkeling spots accessible from the beach. In fact, on Maui, I had a great time encountering many fish and sea turtles at Honolua Bay.
The staff's service was excellent.
ハワイは8回目で、マウイ島は初めての滞在でした。モロキ二等でのシュノーケリングはかねてよりその水質の良さから、シュノーケルのベストポイントとかなり期待していました。
確かにそこそこ海の透明度は高いですが、肝心な魚が少なく、やや期待はずれでした。遊泳場所も他の船が多いので、交錯しないように限定されてしまいます。2箇所目の海亀出没率の高いところに移動しても魚の少ない状況は変わりませんでした。確かに海亀は見れたので良かったのですが、全体的に物足りなさを感じました。
また、こちらに体験談をもとに海中は寒いだろうと別途10ドル追加しウエットスーツを借りましたが、7月下旬ではそれも不要なぐらい海水温は高く、船上でタオルがあれば不用なぐらいでした。
家族で参加したのですが、妻は酔い止め薬を飲んでいても酔ってしまいましたので、寝不足など体調不良での参加時は注意が必要と思います。
モロキ二にはツアー以外参加方法がないので、一度は参加されることをお薦めしますが、体験されると、おそらくそれ以上のシュノーケルスポットがビーチエントリーでいくつもあることに気づきます。実際マウイ島では、ホノルア湾でたくさんの魚や海亀に出会え、楽しめました。
スタッフの対応は大変良かったです。

The show was fabulous. However, I was seated at the back of the room (and I would have had to turn completely around) to see the show after paying for premium seating. Then, someone came to my table and asked for me and moved me to the best table in the house. To my surprise, again, I would have had to turn completely around and see the show. At this point, I was really angry and was getting ready to ask for the manager or get my money BACK when one of the guests offered to give up his seat to me. Overall, the show was the best entertainment I saw in Maui but the fact I went to the expense to pay for upgraded seating and was given bad seats (TWICE) really upsets me. I am not sure if I would use your service again.

Since it was December, the water was cold, and while you can rent a wetsuit, they only provide short-sleeved tops, so I think it's better to bring long-sleeved swimwear if you're going during the colder season. I want to try this experience during a warmer time next time. Swimming with sea turtles is the best!! My husband is not a strong swimmer, but he enjoyed snorkeling, so I think snorkeling is fine even for those who are not good at swimming. If you are going by car, please be careful about parking. There is a short-term parking lot nearby for boat transfers, so make sure not to get it wrong.
12月だったため、水が冷たくて、ウェットスーツは、借りれるのですが、半袖の上着のみなので、寒い時期に行かれる方は、長袖の水着とかを持参したほうがいいと思います。今度はあったかい時期に体験してみたいです。ウミガメと泳げるのは最高です!!主人は、泳ぎが苦手なのですが、スヌーバ楽しんでいたので、泳ぎが苦手な方でも、スヌーバは大丈夫だと思います。車で行かれる場合は、駐車場に気をつけてください。船送迎用の短時間の駐車場がそばにあるので、間違えないように気をつけてください。

We first headed to Haleakala. There was a pleasant stop along the way for drinks and snacks. The views were spectacular and there was ample time to see the sites without being rushed. Judy, our tour director and driver, offered interesting facts and other information but appeared to be very bored and tired of the tour routine. She repeated the blurb about taking nothing but pictures about a gazillion times. Maybe it was just an off day for her. We headed to a very nice town for lunch. This was a pricey place, but the food was excellent and the service good. After lunch we headed to Iao and the rainforest inside. It was beautiful and once again we had ample time to see the sights without being rushed. At Iao we were switched to a different van that met us there and headed back home. All in all, a very pleasant day!
