砂浜から双頭船の間の階段を波が来ないときをクルーの合図で登ります。タイミング次第で太ももあたりまで濡れます、キャーと言って喜んでいる人もいました。船に乗ったら船上に座って中には入りませんでした、飲み物、卵サンドイッチ、果物をクルーが持ってきてくれました。船の中で飲んだり食べたりしているとクジラを見過ごすかもしれないので、このようなサービスだそうでした。
遠くでムナビレをバチンバチンとしているクジラに向かっていくと、なんとかなり近くでブリーチング突然だったので最後の波しぶきぐらいしか見えませんでした。そのあともう一回ブリーチングしてと祈りながらカメラを向けているとブリーチングしました。結局10回ものブリーチング、ムナビレをバチンバチン多数、尻尾でバチンバチン14回と最高でした、もう一生こんなに多数のブリーチングを見ることはないと思います。
撮ってくれた写真の注文の仕方がわからなかったのが残念でした。前もってEmailの登録が必要らしかった?

This was the first time for everyone in our group of six! We all had an awesome time and really enjoyed getting to see the whales up close. We had been watching them from the shore all week and ended our trip with this experience! So happy we spent the money and took the time to do it!!!

We had a great time whale watching! The crew made all the difference. They were very knowledgeable about whales. From serving food and drinks to taking pictures so we could just enjoy the whales, it was great. So good, since they had openings, we went on the next trip!
We will see them next year for our whale watching trip!

私は古典フラ(カヒコ)が好みで宿泊ホテル先でもルアウショーはあったのですがルアウショーの多くはポリネシアンショーの為敢えてこの「伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー オールド・ラハイナ・ルアウ」を選びました。思った通りショーの内容は、古典フラ(カヒコ)が多く、満足しました。ファイアダンスが好みの人は満足しないかも知れません。食事も席毎グループの順番でビュフェスタイルでお皿にしっかり盛り付けしました。ドリンクも飲み放題でポキがとっても美味しかったです。席もあらかじめveltraさんに依頼し”床に座る席”にしてもらいました。座布団が用意されていましたので敷物は不要でした。しかも最前席でしたので写真・ビデオ撮影も人の頭も邪魔にならずバッチリでした。最前列を依頼する事をお薦めします。駐車場はありますが反対側のラハイナキャネリー・モールの駐車場が広くこちらに駐車しました。無論無料でした.....是非お勧めします。

冬の時季にマウイ島に旅行することができましたので、ホエールウオッチングを楽しむことにしてVELTRAさんで事前に予約しました。
マウイ島に旅行される場合はぜひ参加したいアクティビティです。
まず、ラハイナでは数多くのホエールウオッチングツアーがあります。今回参加したツアーはラハイナのパイオニアインのすぐ前のmain loading dockが受付・出港場所ですが、ここだけでも10を超える営業小屋?がありました。それにもかかわらず当日に申し込みをしようとして「満員」ということで断られ、別の日などを提示されていた方を何人か見かけました。事前予約しておいた方が良いと思います。
当日はかなり風が強い日でした。しかし船酔いなどの心配はまったくありませんでした(ただし個人的な感想です)。もちろんまったく揺れない訳ではありませんが、船酔いのする揺れではなく、遊園地の乗り物のような感じのけっこうスピード感のあるものでした。
ラハイナ港を出港して、ラハイナの街並みを見るととても素晴らしいものでした。これだけでも料金の元を取ったような感じでした(笑)
前半ではあまりクジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、後半になるとかなりの頻度でクジラを近くから見ることができました。スタッフもフレンドリーで、「あっちに見えるぞ」、「10時方向だ」などと熱心に対応してくれました。
乗客のほとんどは日本人以外の方でしたが、お互いに会話が必要な訳でもなく特に問題はありませんでした。
船の形状は40人くらいが満員の大きさで、2階建てです。ほとんどの乗客は2階部分でアクティビティを楽しみます。一応、バーコーナー(もちろんソフトドリンク有り)もあります。飲み物のオーダーを強制されるようなことはありません。
何点かアドバイス的なことでは、カメラやスマホのバッテリーは十分に充電しておくことをお勧めします。クジラはどこに顔を出すか分かりません。「ギューンと口先から顔を出して、そのまま海面に頭から潜っていき、最後にテールを出した後に水中に潜る」という行動パターンです。この間、20秒ほどです。そのため決定的瞬間を撮影するためには、いつもカメラをONにしておく必要があるからです。私は充電が十分でなかったため、良い写真を撮りはぐってしまいました(T_T)
それから会場をクルージングしていると風が強いです。飛ばされないように注意して下さい。

The parking structure was a little hard to find. Once parked bring the ticket to meet at the beach and they would validate it. Everyone turned up on time and our group had 32 people. The catamaran was clean, spacious and well equipped with 2 restrooms, a shower, a bar and enough indoor and outdoor seating. All 4 crew members were nice and friendly. Coffee, cinnamon rolls & fresh fruit were SERVED for breakfast. We saw some whales on the way but they weren’t close enough. We stopped at Olowalu. Water was calm and snorkeling was good. Lunch was served at 10:30am. BBQ chicken was delicious and they grilled them on deck. People can do more snorkeling after lunch and we set off around 11:30. I was hoping we would see more whales on our way. Don’t expect to spend too much time whale watching on this tour. There are some cheaper tours out there, I’m not sure how those compare. We saw some boats with tons of passagers on board. We arrived back at Kaanapali Beach at 1pm.

船はカタマラン。ビーチギリギリまでつけての乗船なので、ハッキリ言って濡れるの覚悟が必要です。
日本人スタッフさんは、いませんがなんとかなりました。
クジラは野生の動物だからと思っていても期待は高まりますね❗️クジラが、近くに出てきてくれた時は興奮ものです。
念願叶ってのクジラさん‼️出てきてくれて、ありがとうでした。
ちょっとした飲食もありましたが、クジラさんで、いっぱい、いっぱいでした。
この日は、海況も穏やかで晴天、風もあまりなく、コンディションは良い方でした。
私達家族はラッキーだと思います。
翌日ビーチに行ってみると、うねりがすごく、船に乗るのがさらに大変そうでした。
やはり自然相手、天気・海況・クジラさんの出現は感謝しかありません。
家族全員で見れたクジラさんは忘れません。

ネットで予約した日を1日遅く間違えて覚えており、明日はホエールウォッチングだと思った日の夜に間違いに気付きました(その日のお昼予約だったのです)。ダメ元で翌日朝に現地の連絡先に電話し事情を話すと、日本語ガイドは間に合わないがそれでもよければいらしてくださいとの事。無事上船することができました!ありがとうございました!
沖へ出るとたくさんのクジラを見ることができて感動的でした。写真では小さいですが、肉眼ではもっと大きく近くにクジラを見ることができました。
尾びれで水面を叩く音は迫力満点です。
割と雲が多い日だったのですが、外の席へ20分も座っていたらすごく日焼けしたので、日焼け止めは必須です。
また、船酔いされやすい方は対策が必要だと思います。外の席で波に身を任せるようにすると意外に楽でした。

We just got back from a Maui vacation and our snorkel trip was the highlight of an amazing vacation.
We checked in with Snuba Willie by the beach. Willie gave us an outline of the day, company background, and basic safety instructions. He also mentioned an additional activity called Snuba. He said there was no pressure but if anyone was interested, to flag him down once we were on board and he’d tell us more. He then gave us instructions on how we were going to get on the catamaran.
We went down to the water and made our way on board. Our catamaran was Triology 111 and it is beautiful! It is spotless, in perfect condition, comfortable, and spacious. Once everyone was on board, we gathered below deck for an introduction and safety briefing. Captain Mike introduced our crew- Captain Carrie, Snuba Willie, Jamie, Gabriel, and David. He went over emergency information and all the details of our boat and what to expect. Then we got on our way.
The crew turned on music and we were allowed the run of the boat. Breakfast was served and the entire crew was incredibly attentive and thorough. While on our way to the site, we saw multiple whales- more than on the whale tour we took the day before. Captain Mike stopped the boat so we were able to watch them.
At the reef, we were given our gear. My family talked to Snuba Willie about the snuba option and decided to try it. We are so glad we did! It was spectacular!
The crew grilled our lunch while we enjoyed the water. We returned to the boat for lunch. After a fantastic lunch, we returned to the water.
The entire experience was beyond our expectations. We felt safe, informed, and very well taken care of. The entire crew was professional, warm, and engaging. If we are fortunate enough to return to Maui, we will absolutely take this trip again and if we can, we’ll do a full day snuba experience. It was well worth it!

We had an incredible time on this trip. The boat was clean and the staff was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our captain was great at locating whales and she was extremely skilled at maneuvering the boat so we always had the best view. Originally I had bought my ticket for 3 days earlier however, upon arriving in Maui my husband got sick and we were unable to go. I expected to have to just eat the cost of our tickets but I called the company and Sylvia was great and rescheduled us for later in the week with no penalty. I highly recommend this company and I would use them again.

Everything was great. The instructors made it fun by their sense of humor, but you could tell that they also always had safety in mind. Felt safe at all times.
I was afraid that we would be hiking up a huge mountain or something because the description states you will do a lot of walking, however they take you up the mountain in a van. The only walking that you do is front platform to platform, which isn't much. So we were glad for that.
The views from the ziplines of the ocean were amazing. Would recommend for all.

Everything was great. The food, the drinks, the entertainment. It wasn't cheezy like I was thinking it would be. The dances actually had meaning behind them. Service was great also. Sometimes you think whenever they say "All you can drink" that they will give you like 1 drink and make you beg for the rest. Not the case here, they kept the drinks coming and they were good quality drinks.
Also liked how the local people were selling their goods around the interior. This package had everything that you could want. Great Hawaiian experience.

We did this tour during the whale mating season so we expected to see a whale or two but what we saw was amazing. At first the whales kept their distance but after awhile they began approaching the boat. Soon dozens of whales were surrounding the boat and showing off their dives, breaches and spouting. They were close enough to spout whale 'snot' on us!! The skipper said their nearness was very unusual and he prolonged the tour by 1/2 hour.
