Nettie went above and beyond to ensure that we experienced the best Hawaii. She's a local and added so much charm. Not only did she get on the ground to take our photos she insisted on multiple photos in different poses all of which we couldn't live with out now that we have them. Nettie was by far the best we've seen in Hawaii! Mahalo!

The crew was amazing and fun. They were very knowledgeable of the island and surrounding area. We had an amazing time snorkeling and the crew made us feel very comfortable and at easy in the water. It seems as if we were also eating during the cruise before, between and after snorkeling at the two spots chosen for the morning cruise. The end of the cruise was awesome because the captain and crew raised the sails and we sailed back to harbor by the wind. It was amazing watching the crew work at raising the sails. What a great experience for anyone and everyone of all ages.

場所も雰囲気も良く、サンセットが終わりかける頃から始まるショー。
ショーが始まる前には様々な体験をしたりデモンストレーションを見学することができ、子供たちはプイリという楽器の体験をしました。私はココナッツを剥いて?ナタデココの部分をくり抜く作業を見学し、その味見をしました。
オアフ島のパラダイスコーブルアウと似た感じでした。
が、食事は断然こちらの方が美味しかったです。
カルアポークやビーフステーキは思った以上のおいしさでした。
ショーの内容は、古典フラ(カヒコ)が多く、これは私の好みでした。
男性ダンサーの体つきが、ネイティブハワイアンの様な厚みのある肉体で無く、案外華奢だったのとファイアダンスが無かったのが残念でした。これが一番楽しみだったので。
ショーの時間は全て合わせて1時間程度で、所要時間3時間に対して短めかなという印象を受けました。その分ゆっくり食事はできますが。
なので、可もなく不可もなくといった感じでした。

家族4名で8月に参加しました。うち、子供は9才6才です。Westin Mauiに滞在していたので、ホテルのGroup EntranceというWhale's Villageの横の入口(SPG系列のホテルとラハイナまでの巡回バスが停まるところ)で、午前2時20分待ち合わせでした。前日までに再確認の電話をする必要があります。
その場所で待っていると予定時間より早く最初のバスが到着。このバスで行くのか少し不安でしたが、カフルイでより大型のバスに乗り換えることになりました。結局日本人は私達だけでした。このバスのドライバー兼ガイドさんの女性がすごかったです。ガムとか噛むことを勧めていました。空気が耳に詰まることを防ぐためのようです。私は噛まなくても大丈夫でしたが、気になる方は準備されてもよいでしょう。ガムは、カフルイでの乗り換え時にコンビニみたいな所で買うことができるようです。カフルイからハレアカラまで、車は多くはなかったですが、夜の山道なので運転技術に自信がない方はツアー参加をおすすめします。動物も道路に出てくるみたいです。ガイドさんの話によると、事前にインターネットで登録して料金を支払っていないと今はすくなくとも日の出の時に入山できないようです。実際、前にいた何台かの車が引き返していく様子を見ました。
日の出を見るスポットには午前5時前には着いたと思います。まず、バスが二台とも結構空調が利いて寒いので厚着をしていてもいいと思います。日の出スポットに行くためのバスの停車場所と、日の出スポットの間にトイレがあります。子どもたちはその前で厚着をさせました。結構寒いです。薄手のダウン、手袋、マフラー、帽子、カイロをおすすめします。トイレから日の出スポットまでほんの少し歩きます。暗いので懐中電灯があってもいいですが、この道とカメラの調節以外は使わないので必須ではないです。日の出は午前5時50分位だったので1時間近く外で待つことになりました。ツアーでいくと、日の出を見る良い場所に案内してくれました。その女性バスガイドさんの知り合いである別の男性ガイドさんが、日の出スポットで色々と面倒を観てくれて子どもたちの面倒をみてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれました。三脚を持っていくかは悩ましいです。日の出前の星空をどうしても撮影したいとか、荷物が苦にならないのであればありだと思います。
当日は天気予報にも拘わらず、日の出スポットは晴れており、最高の日の出を見ることができました。これは言葉や写真で上手く説明できないてすが、人生において一度は見ておく価値があると思います。眼下のクレーターのような感じも圧巻てす。午前6時15分にバスに戻りました。ここから、バスで山頂へ移動しました。ここでも三カ所位写真スポットがあります。写真をとらなくても、海や島が見える景色はかなり見応えがあります。事前によく調べていればわかるみたいですが、慣れない人間には、そこに行っていいのか微妙な感じでしたので、この点もツアーに参加した甲斐がありました。バスに戻ってから、コーヒーとデニッシュ(スーパーとかで売っている・何種類か味がある)の提供がありました。その後朝食に向かいました。途中、写真スポットでバスが停車しましたのでそこでも美しい写真を撮りました。
朝食は、車中でパンケーキ、フルーツ、ベーコンのようなものの三種類から選択します。ゴルフ場併設のレストランで食べますが、味はそれ程期待しない方がよいと思います。
英語は解らなくてもなんとかなりますが、ガイドさんの話に何かと参考になることもあるのでできるにこしたことはないです。これを書いている時点ては日本語日の出ツアーは催行されていなかったはずです(星空ツアーはある)。これも前述の入山規制と関係あるのかもしれかせん。
このツアー以外にホテルのコンシェルジェによると、一人250$くらいのリムジンみたいなので行くツアーもあるようです。ちなみにこちらは予約一杯で参加できませんでした。
我々が参加した夏場は、アメリカ本土からマウイに来る人が多く早めにいっぱいになるようです。日程が決まったらキャンセルできるのでとにかく早めに予約する事をおすすめします。

The tour was a great experience. Definitely learned a lot about the island and saw places we would have never found on our own. The only complaint my group had was the political commentary from the tour guide. He started early on referencing those "damn democrats" and a negative reference to ACLU. Being a group of very liberal people, we found it offensive but did not say anything for fear that he would not provide as good of a tour. This would have been a great experience without this extra commentary.

The day was spent in a most enjoyable way.
We started on time and went to first snorkeling spot after about one hour cruise. Since we left at 700 am, (early in the morning) they gave us good breakfast. The water is blue and beautiful. We saw some flying fish while sailing which I got amazed. They have wings(?!), come out of water, fly for about three feet above the surface and go into water. It was amazing to see a fish with wings. They clearly flew and not just jump in and out of water.
The captain gave a 5 min lesson on snorkeling 101. It was full of very helpful tips and this greatly helped to snorkel without fear. The gears were provided. By the end of the day I became an expert. This is an example, how useful the people are to help you whatever you need in the trip.
The snorkeling part was very enjoyable and after about one hour, we were allowed to jump into the ocean from the second level of the cruise ship via a slide. That was so cool.
Next we went to a second place and we got to see lots of turtles. Some turtles came to top of water, so you can see them from the boat. We snorkeled and also jumped into water from the second level of cruise via slide for about one hour. It was fun. Lots of foods, drinks were given. We returned by 200 pm. What a day to spend.

This is my first visit to a rainforest and I was amazed.
We were picked up at designated location at 930 AM. We then changed to rubber shoes at the office and proceeded to hike. We were given breakfast and started the trail. Looks like it rained heavily the previous day and so we had to cross few streams on our way. The current in the streams were below our knee level but very strong. It was scary. The guide was very friendly, funny, knowledgeable and professional. So we did not have any difficulty. But it was awesome to see the falls full of water and strong currents in the streams. While we were told about occurrence of flash floods, I wonder what life would be in these situations. It was really wild out there, but you are with a professional.
I particularly enjoyed sliding in the water through a tunnel (the guide was there at the other end of the tunnel to stop me from being carried away by the current). My son (29) jumped 20 feet into one of the water fall, the guide showed us twice how to do that. We visited several water falls and I managed to stand under one of those 10 feet tall falls. The guide showed us several varieties of flowers, plants and fruits. We tasted some fruits, and had a good lunch break in one of the falls. The hike was not very difficult but also was not very easy. We returned to our car by 2 30 PM.
Many of the falls are not accessible to public and visiting with a professional is the best way to do it. I strongly recommend the hike to anyone.

Have used pacific whale foundation in past for sunset cruises but decided to try this company for a change. We had steak menu which was delicious apart from the fact that no choice was given on how you prefered the steak cooked. Only first drink served at table other drinks were served at bar. The tables and seats were packed in close and the chairs bolted to floor. It was really difficult to get in and out of chairs to go to bar. Overall staff were pleasant and entertainment ok but if we were to choose a dinner cruise again it would not be on the princess. Sorry guys but I know we were on the ocean but we ain't sardines

We took a group of seven people on this tour and some of our group had done this trip previously. The driver had a tough time managing the people on the tour and other guests were up to 30 minutes late getting back to the bus on several occasions. The lunch situation was not good either. We waited in line for 30 minutes out doors in the heat at the one little stand available for lunch. Then sat out doors to eat with no AC and were dripping. On previous tours there were much better lunch set ups. We were never given enough time to get into the water at the black sands or the seven pools. Mostly because other people were late and the driver didn't manage the group well. But what really took the cake was our departure. My 71 year old father and his new wife were leaving and the driver asked if he could "kiss" the bride. She thought he was going to give her a peck on the cheek, but instead gave her a full on mouth kiss. So inappropriate. Too bad we had already tipped him. Not my favorite day on Maui.

My husband, myself and our 11 year old nephew had a great time on our hike. Pretty much everything was as described. We got to go to 4 different waterfalls, got to jump into 3 of them, included a pretty hefty peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a bag of chips, native fruit, lots of water and bug spray provided, and a backpack to keep everything in! The hike was definitely more on the moderate side than the easy side, I would say. My husband and I are fairly athletic and we were both sore and tired at the end of the hike. The nature is amazing. I took about 200 photos. The information that Sarah shared with us was interesting and insightful. She was a very nice, patient and informative tour guide. She was friendly and made conversation, but was not in your face, or invasive when people didn't want her to be. She was also very helpful because she showed the people on the tour the correct places and ways to jump off the waterfalls. I think this helped with some of the anxiety people had. I definitely recommend this hike. It is a little pricey, but it was worth it, and you really get your money's worth. I ended up messing up one of my ears when I jumped off of the third waterfall we found, so the end of the hike wasn't as pleasant for me as the beginning was, but I think that was a random thing that happened. My 11 year old nephew jumped a total of 7 times off the different waterfalls and never really complained about anything except that he slapped his hands and arms on the water (which was more his own fault). The one thing I didn't like was the number of people that were at the waterfalls during our tour. That was something we couldn't really control. There are some "private" waterfalls that we got to see, which, obviously had less people, but still had other people there. I think if you have a choice, go on a weekday, and it might be helpful to go during an off season. We went the day after 4th of July, so it was probably pretty busy.

We had a great time on this cruise. Everything about it went basically as planned. We went to two different snorkeling spots where we had an hour or a little more to swim around checking out the coral reef and the marine life. In the beginning, they had a little breakfast that included muffins, fruits and different types of juice. After the first snorkeling spot, they made chicken breasts, hot dogs and burgers patties for lunch which were also very good. They didn't have KETCHUP!!! Which was a pretty big bummer, but the food was good and there was plenty of it. They also handed out bags of chips and pretty much everyone was able to get a second bag. The best part about the cruise was the dolphins that we saw. We spent about 20-30 minutes watching a pack of dolphins swim around and with out boat. They got up so close, it was amazing. My nephew and I sat at the front of the boat and actually got yelled at by the captain, but it was definitely worth it because my feet were about 10 feet away from touching the dolphins they were so close. Then at the last snorkeling spot, we got to swim with sea turtles (only noticed one when I was swimming but it did get pretty close), and a 6 foot long shark that was laying underneath the wreckage we were snorkeling above. It was pretty awesome and scary all at the same time. The shark was sleeping (or dead) because it didn't move and there was no danger, but I still didn't want to take my eyes off him! The boat provided the snorkel equipment including the liquid to keep your goggles clear. There is also a slide that goes off the side of the boat which was really fun to go off of! The crew ended the cruise with a free alcoholic beverage for each adult over 21 years old, and it was very tasty and had a lot of alcohol in it! I believe this was well worth the money.

マウイは初めての1人旅でした。シュノーケルも大好きだし一人でも楽しめるような気がしたので思い切って参加することにしました。5月だったのでさすがに明るくて日の出は見れないですが。。。 ラハイナインに泊まってたので集合場所は前日に下見に行ったしすぐに分かりました
。1日中お天気もよくてクルーズ中も気持ちよくみなさんおすすめのシナモンロールもおいしく
(途中で飽きましたが…) サンドイッチとかもあり、おいしそうだったのですが、あんまり食べ過ぎてもしんどくなりそうだったので。シュノーケルはやっぱりいっぱいのおさかなさんたち見れました! 楽しかった(^_-)-☆ アイランドツアーにも参加してバンで回ってくれました! 英語がなかなか難しいですが… のどかなラナイ島を楽しめてお勧めします。戻ったらランチタイムです。サラダとか焼きそばBBQチキンなどです。まあ普通の味。1人で来てる方もいなくて日本人も0でも楽しめました! 帰りは結構揺れます。それもまた楽しかったり。帆を上げたらましになってました! ビール1本だけにしときました。クルーの1人の人が名前を覚えてくれてて1人でもさみしくなかったですよー ボートダイブしたりラナイ島にも行けて奮発したけど行って良かった (・ω・)ノ

This was a fun boat trip for the family. The captain was knowledgeable and we saw many dolphins. That was probably the highlight of the trip. Due to rougher waters, we snorkeled in some different areas than normal. One was one a reef off of Lanai and the other was over a ship that had been sunk in deeper waters. The reef was Okay, but we saw more fish and more variety of sea life snorkeling off the beaches. The ship was too deep to dive to so pretty much we were just floating above it. The breakfast and lunch was good and there was plenty of food.
