I know every whale watch is a different experience but this was the best whale watch cruise ever. The crew was extremely knowledgeable and the captain seem to have a knack to know where they were going to be and how to move into the best position. The boat was two decks and you could move freely between them. It's a bigger boat which some say is worse for fighting for rail space when whales are spotted but I saw a smaller boat next to us and the waves were rocking them almost out of the water while our boat was barely rocking. We got lucky enough to spot two sets of whales and some bottle-nose dolphins even though it was the end of the season. The second set of whales came right up next to our boat and hung around for a while for us to get a really, really close look.

朝の時間帯で予約しました。港まではすぐ行けましたがチェックインの場所が迷いました。
海に突き出た一番大きい桟橋の中にある小屋でした。行列の影で見えない可能性もあるので注意してくださいね。
さて、船は2階建てで好きな場所に座りクルーズしますが、クジラが出るたびに人々が右に左に移動する感じでした。
遠く近く合わせて何回も見れました。
ジャンプは見れなかったですがかなり満足のクルーズでした。

This was a great adventure! The staff was quite fun to be around. One of the crew-- Alex (I believe) was especially great in providing information and he had great energy and an awesome attitude!
We would definitely recommend this cruise!

Lahaina隣のKaanapaliの民宿に宿泊、6時50分出発、パブリック駐車場迄5分、その後5分歩いて集合場所に行った。すでに大勢の観光客が集まっていた。
7時半に乗船し2時間のウオッチング。写真で見るようなクジラを期待していたが、この日は少し尾ひれが見えただけ。シーズン終わりの感がした。来年再チャレンジしたい。

家族4人の3泊5日初マウイ弾丸旅行の3日目、日本語ガイドが乗る時間帯ではないが海を見ていればクジラが観れるだろうと早朝のツアーが割安だったので参加しました。ほかのツアーの船がいかない沖まで行っていたように思えます。船のすぐ前を横切るクジラにも会えました。・・・そしてなんとガイドさんもIncredible!と叫ぶほど最高の写真が撮れました。しかもiPhoneでです。初マウイで最高ホェールウォッチングでした。また参加したいと思います。

This was a wonderful trip for our honeymoon. Lunch was provided and tasted great. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable of the sea and all the species we encountered. Our guide stopped the boat at one point so we could watch as a large pod of dolphins that surrounded our boat. We were also able to swim with a Monk Seal! Absolutely recommend this adventure to visitors.

The sign in was a mess! We signed up for the VIP seats for $15/person. When we got there they said they've raised their prices to $25 per person. I thought that was odd...I showed them my papers that said $15/person so thats all we paid. The people in front of us had issues too! LOVED the vendors that were there! They had some very nice things and were friendly. The atmosphere was great...by the ocean! The food was as expected....awesome! The Luau was fun and exciting.

3月8日に参加しました。3度目の参加です。
今回は日本人御一行様約20名も一緒でした。もちろん日本人ガイドさんも乗船
一言でいうとうようよいます。
前回、前々回は3月末だったこともありますが今回が一番です。
ブリーチングも何度となく見ることができ、尾ひれで海をたたく音がまた凄いんです。
写真はなかなかうまく撮れません、シャッターチャンスが・・・・
コンデジの連射モードでパシャパシャパシャっと撮ってから後でトリミングが正解かと。
ガイドさんによるとバレンタインデー辺りがピークとのこと、来年は2月中に行くつもりでいます。

Ron was out tour leader. Excellent commentary as we drove from 3 am to 10 am. It was rainy and foggy as we drove up to the volcano in the dark but Ron kept up the banter of telling us information while driving carefully and well. Driving excellent! That was a plus for me. Our group of 22 got acquainted over the trip. Great site to see sunrise at 10,000 feet! It was cold but I wore layers with warm polar fleece liner under my jacket, polar fleece hat and warm gloves and I was comfortable. I felt badly for those who came wrapped in blankets. Excellent staff at the National Park. Nan was especially helpful and informative. As we were driven down the hill, we could see the sites (and the curves) we'd missed due to darkness on the way up. The tour ended with a nice breakfast at a Golf Club. Memorable excursion! Thank you Ron and my fellow participants!

Our 7:30 a.m. Kaulana Whale Watching Cruise from Lahaina Harbor well exceeded our expectations. The whales were so plentiful the day we went out, swimming and breaching in every direction. So much so, we never really knew where to look. It was, by far, one of the best activities we partook in while in Hawaii. It was one of the most incredible events all of us had a privilege of witnessing
Thank you Veltra Tours for an incredible morning! :)

I would definitely recommend this luau and would attend it again on our next trip.

The boat was late coming into the dock mainly because a cruise ship had shuttles in the dock space for our ship. We didn't board the boat until at least 15-20 minutes after it was supposed to have left. I felt the harbor was overly accomadating to the cruise ship.
The young man narrating did a pretty good job though it was difficult to hear him at times.
We did see some whales which was nice.
