冬季限定!ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~4月/英語ガイド/ラハイナ港発>

見えない日もある

Reviewed by: サトウ

12月上旬でしたが全くクジラは見えませんでした。しかし、イルカが見れたのは救いでした。魚群探知機でもあればいいのにと思いつつ。船酔いをする方は船が小さめで揺れるので気をつけてくださいね。クジラが見れないときは次回サービス券ぐらい欲しいものです。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Great time

Reviewed by: Shannon

We made our reservation by phone and had no problems finding a date and time. Customer service over the phone was great.
When we checked in at the dock, the lady check us in was very nice. They have you check in an hour prior to departure, which is a long time to hang out on the dock. There was no where to hang out or sit while waiting.
The crew on the boat was very nice and the food was decent. Due to the weather we were not able to go to the original destination, but the crew found a couple of spots for us to snorkel. We didn't see any Dolphins or turtles, just a few fish. We saw a whale from a distance, but we didn't hang out long enough in the same spot to see if the whales would resurface.
In all, the boat ride was much longer than expected. Most of the time was spent on the boat going to a snorkeling spot right next to the shoreline.

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Road To Hana Tour - My Vacation Highlight

Reviewed by: M Lizalde

I am so glad I decided to take this tour! We had taken the Road to Hana on our own 4 years ago. The experience was such that I felt the need to come back, but this time by means of a tour guide that would tell us the background of all the wonders we got to see and experience back then. This stretch of the island of Maui is so rich in history. Turns out I was right. Thanks to our tour guide/driver, Larry. He made this experience all the more magical. I am a history enthusiast. Larry touched on every aspect of this journey. From the vegetation's different species (origin, current and past uses, etc.), rock formations, the incredible waterfalls and grottos, to the towns people of present and past. Oh, and the beaches, breathtaking. I loved soaking my feet at Blacksand beach. Wish we could of stayed there longer. I appreciated our stop at the local's farmers market. Got to sample a taste of the locals organic fruits, banana bread, fruit jams and honey. I was able to purchase of everything I sampled. This is definitely a tradition for my family. When in Maui...Tour Guided Road to Hana Highway Adventure is a must. These drivers are experts, I will leave the driving to them! While I sit back and enjoy the trip.

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Awesome experience

Reviewed by: Sachin Gupta

Awesome tour . Very scenic drive . Our tour guide was Charles, he knew everything about all the places we went through right after we started from hotel until back . He knew exactly where to stop or slow down to take awesome pics or view the beauty of Hana . 5 on 5 for this beautiful tour and knowledgable guide.. I took 1 star for the lunch provided . Breakfast was light fruits and rolls and being on entire day trip, we were expecting a better lunch . Besides salad , steamed rice and watermelon, there was chicken and being vegetarian this did not feel like lunch . We got a veg taco plate when asked about the veg option, which was equally bad and cold
Apart from this I would say this is a must do if in Muai to see actual nature ..

Haleakala Sunrise Tours - Bike & Zip Ultimate Adventures

The Oppegard Haleakla Sunrise Bike & Skyline tour

Reviewed by: Kayleen

We enjoyed the Sunrise and Downhill Bike tour, but a mix up was done on the Zipline and we missed out on the 5 line Zipline tour. The company made it up to us by offering an eight line or the 4 zip and dip line. We had to wait until the afternoon for the Zip and Dip, which was enjoyable, but I really wanted the Indiana Jones type bridge and the pendulum zipline. The staff on all three advents were excellant. They worked hard to make sure that all of the participants were safe and enjoying themselves. Once they found out that we were suppose to be on the 5 line Zipline tour, they worked hard to make it right.

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Road to Hana

Reviewed by: Kandyce Zhong

Overall it was a very fun trip. However the trip time wise is a little too long. The food wise too need a little improvement. It was only a little rice and bbq chicken. This trip include a simple breakfast too, but don't expect a continental breakfast. It's just coffee fruits and croissant. Thank you Steve our driver and our guide for the informative trip and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. You will never get to view all the scenery spots if you didn't attend this trip. We went to see a few water falls, it was absolutely beautiful, however we weren't able to swim in the pools as they were closed on that day. We went to black sand beach also, the sands are black, it's really cool... We took awesome lots of picture, it's definitely a memory that you will never forget. Advise to not go to the trip if you're tiered or sick cuz it's a energy consuming trip. Overall you will have fun.

This is one that you do not want to drive on your own. It is best to book your trip with a group. When we booked ours with a group they do a great job of showing some extra places to go and stopped at some shopping places. Our tour person did a wonderful job explaining what you will see and took you around to the different areas and explain what you were looking at. I think his name was Steve very patient and gave us a lot of information along some shopping spots and what to buy. Dress warm it can get cold for a little while in morning i bought a throw but maybe a big towel from the hotel might work. Breakfast was really good and some great choices. They also served a snack with choices of a drink. Tour guide did a good job also taking pictures with me and my spouse. You can do it on your own but i think you would miss a lot of extras.

マウイは今回で4回目ですが、山へ行くのは初めて。時間通りにやまちゃんさんがホテルに迎えにきてくれました。行きの車中では、みんなの出身地を聞いたりして賑やかな時間でした。途中お土産屋さんへ立ち寄り、やまちゃんお薦め商品を試食して購入したりしました。山頂に着くころにはサンセットタイム、山頂は雲の上です。サンセットは赤いだけではなく、青い色との何層にもなってました。その後、少し下山して車中でお弁当。食べ終わり、みんなで下を向いて外へ、見上げた空はなんとプラネタリウムでした。肉眼で見る天の川!!!望遠鏡を使って土星も見ることができ、感動感動でした。命の洗濯ができたと言っても過言ではないと思います。やまちゃんのわかりやすい星の説明、一人一人への気遣いははプロ中のプロだと思いました。

A big thanks to the captain and crew of the Trilogy for providing our family with a fantastic sail and snorkle! The crew was competent and experienced while maintaining a relaxed and friendly atmosphere aboard the sleek vessel. The cruise did not dissapoint with nice meals special order to meet my gluten free dietry needs. The snorkling stops were just long enough to enjoy with plenty of time to relish some traditional sail time as the captain hoisted the billowing sails over the catamaran. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy world class snorkling on beautifully clear aquamarine waters under the azure Pacific skies.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

透明度はやはり格別

Reviewed by: cica

初めてのマウイ島のため海の透明度を体感したくて参加しました。
元々船酔いする体質ですが、それなりの大きさの船と聞いていたので、一生に一度くらいはと思って参加しましたが、やはりダメでした。揺れはあまり大きくないのですが、船酔いする体質の方はやはり避けたほうがいいと思います。
それでもがんばってシュノーケリングはしました。
思ったよりも魚はいませんでしたが、やはり透明度は最高で、気持ち良かったです。ウメガメに会えるというスポットでも今回は残念ながら会う事はできませんでした。
けっこう水が冷たいのでウェットスーツはレンタルする事をオススメします。
朝食、昼食もとても美味しかったです。昼食は持ち帰って食べましたが、船酔いさえしていなければ船の上で食べるハンバーガーはとても美味しくて気持ち良かったのではないかと思います。
なにより日本語ガイドの方がずっと気にかけて頂いて、とても感じの良いガイドさんでした。
船酔いするのでもう参加する事はありませんが(笑)、船酔いしてでも参加して良かったです。

We already booked the snorkeling trip from our home in Austria and had no expectations at all what we will get as we were snorkeling-novices. On our first day on Maui we made a short trip from our hotel in Kihei to Lahaina to check where our trip will start the next morning. A very friendly lady at the port in Lahaina told us where our snorkeling trip will start and which boat will take us out.
The next morning an extremely friendly captain and his crew welcomed us on board and took us out to two awesome snorkeling spots. On our way we were served breakfast. At the snorkeling spots the crew was enormously helpful with the snorkeling equipment and to get into the water. During the snorkeling the crew members were out on surfboards two overlook the snorkelers. We felt extremely safe and fine.
On our way back we were served lunch with fresh fruits and beverages and nice things to eat.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Cruise summary and assesment

Reviewed by: Lynda DeWard

On October 7th we joined the Dolphin watch Snorkel cruise to Lanai. It was quite breezy that day and upon boarding we were informed that because of the weather the cruise to Lanai had to be canceled and alternate snorkel locations would have to be used instead of the live coral reefs originally promised off the coast of Lanai, and further, the activities and relaxing time on Lanai would be out of the question. Although very disappointed we understood the situation and sympathized with the cruise captain. She was very nice and we felt sorry for her. We proceeded to her first chosen snorkel location off the coast of Maui, dropped anchor and began preparation for our first snorkel dip. The underwater scenery was somewhat less than spectacular but the experience was interesting. Not having snorkeled for several years it was an exhilarating experience to paddle in the ocean and explore the ocean floor. Subsequently, we pulled anchor and headed for another snorkel area off the shore of Maui and had our lunch, which was quite good and filling. When we arrived at the second site it was too windy to dive there and we were forced to find another alternative site. Again, interesting but even less spectacular than the first and really too windy to enjoy. Exhausted and chilled we finally headed back to Lahaina harbor for our cruise departure. Final assessment, the crew was very good and experienced, the captain was very good and well informed and handled the situation, much as it was, graciously and all in all we did enjoy ourselves on the cruise, but we didn’t even come close to what we were expecting for our investment.

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Great tour

Reviewed by: Laurie

I wished we had a more outgoing/energetic group of passengers along with us, but our driver, Sam made up for it, amazing me with his non-stop humor and entertainment. As others said, I am very glad I did not have to drive that one-lane two-way road with rusty railings and precarious turns myself for hours and hours of driving (see the one photo attached where looking out my window you could see an inch of pavement and then the drop). The tour buses being higher than car height and having large windows provided a wide-open view i would not have see from my rental car. Sam educated us on Hawaiian history, and pointed out dining spots, fauna, flora, and talked of herbal uses of the plants. He talked about his family and their land, and told stories of growing up in Hawaii. He made certain to stop and let us take photos from the tour bus, at perfect photo spots along the road often near its many bridges, rivers, falls. We were handed a map at the beginning with spots high-lighted in yellow where we would get out and walk around, so we could gauge how long we had to go. The places we stopped were gorgeous. Some had very short paths to explore. The banana bread stop nice. At one popular waterfall stop, the road jammed up and Sam was out there, cooling tempers with his humor, making friends, and directing traffic to clear the gridlock. The open air restaurant in Hana was good, beautiful artwork, nice lunch. Sam brought us tastes of a local dish, Poke, the restaurant made. Unfortunately at the one stop for swimming at the 7 Sacred Pools of 'Ohe'o, the park has certain conditions the surf must meet to let you down there to swim: it was closed that day, and I was terribly disappointed after seeing so many beautiful pictures on the internet and hoping it to be the big finish, but Sam still gave us time enough time to do the circular hike out to the point above there, as consolation. I am very glad I signed up for this tour. Was sad when the day was over.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Beautiful Reef Tour Off Maui!

Reviewed by: Brian Soushek

The VELTRA tour I took was the Maui to Lanai Dolphin and Snorkel cruise on October 7th, 2015. The tour was a great opportunity to see the island of Maui from the water and snorkel in beautiful unspoiled coral reefs. The staff on the tour were attentive and hospitable. The food was great and there was plenty of it. We did not get to our destination of Lanai due to poor weather conditions. In my opinion the boat captain made a wise choice in avoiding a possible dangerous trip across the waterway between Maui and Lanai. The captain did offer the option of rescheduling our trip in order to see the island of Lanai, but our group was leaving the next day so this was not something we could do. I would suggest that anyone taking this tour should schedule it at the beginning of their vacation so if there is inclement weather they can change the date and have the full experience. One other concern was that lunch was served between our snorkeling opportunities and on my second snorkel trip I had a full stomach. I don't suggest doing this. If lunch had been served after the second snorkel it would have been easier on me. Overall though, a great time had by my family!

  • A shot of our tour boat!

  • Beautiful West Maui Mountains from the boat!

Wonderful experience!!

Reviewed by: kshabanov

I booked this tour for my family [ages 3 & 6]... none of us had any snorkeling experience. We all had a great time learning about the islands, sea animals, and snorkeling. The locations were beautiful!! The crew was friendly and helpful--especially when I was trying to get the kids in and out of the boat [and when my son asked for more cookies!].
Once on the water, at least two crew members were floating around on surfboards teaching, offering advice, and helping us swim back to the boat if we were too tired.
It was a little scary to be afloat in the big ocean, but I felt more confident knowing that there were at least 3 people keeping eyes on the water at all times... we even saw 2 pods of dolphins!
