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.

初めてマウイ島を訪れ、、豪華リゾートしか無いラナイ島は、エクスカーションで行くしかないなと、トリロジーのツアーを選択しました。今回マウイ島ステイを、ラハイナ近くにしましたのも、このツアーに参加しやすいからという理由もありました。お値段はちょっと張りましたが、船の設備は良いし、軽食やフルーツ飲み物のタイミングもGood!スッタフは、とてもフレンドリーで、プロフェッショナル!!行のクルーズでは、イルカの群れにも会え船内大興奮。
リコンファームも集合も船内も全部英語だったけど、私たちの参加した回は、東洋人らしき人は私たちだけだったので、かなり気を付けていてくれました。
ラナイ島のプライベート感覚のビーチで、サンゴの保存状態も良く、ビーチからのシュノーケリングとしてはかなり良かったです。前の方の体験談を読んで、聞き逃すといけないので事前に声をかけるよう頼んでおきました。島内観光は、ラナイ島の産業や歴史名所など、説明もばっちりで(英語なので、細かいところは聞き取れませんが、ガイドブックや、スマホがあれば、大丈夫)最後は車内で拍手が起きてました。ローカルな町は、西部劇に出てくるようで、標高が高尾山(東京の)よりちょっと低いくらいのところなので、ちょっとした高原です。高原とビーチ一粒で2度おいしい。タウンビジットから戻ると早めのデイナー?遅めの昼食?が3時デイナーと思うとBBQが、チキンだけだったので、ちょっとツアーの値段と見合わないかなとは思いましたが、遅めのランチと思えば充分満足!!特筆すべきは、帰りのクルーズのサンセット!!
夕焼けに染まるラハイナの町と、イアオ渓谷、ハレアカラ山最高のゴージャスサンセットでした。

This was so fun. Everyone in my family had a blast. The captain and crew were so friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding. The snorkeling was great, we saw lots of fish and the reef was beautiful. We hung out with a huge pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins and got some great pictures.

good food (though I dont advise eating a lot since I had quite some acid reflux snorkeling on a full stomach), good directions on how to use snorkel gears. saw dolphins, they are right below our deck. saw a bunch of turtles and a white tip shark and octopus (the latter two I have to acknowledge the other cruising company's guide, he does these deep dives to compel the shark to come out from hiding and he somehow found this octopus for everybody to see!)

My twin 7 year olds and 12 year old daughters, along with my husband and I, absolutely enjoyed our time on the boat. Whereas no dolphins were spotted, the snorkeling was awesome - snorkeled twice! The boat had a slide too that my girls loved going down into the ocean blue. Staff was fun and friendly and the food, both for breakfast and lunch, was perfect for our time onboard. Would highly recommend this cruise and will do it again the next time we are on the island of Maui.

Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) had a wonderful experience on Wednesday when we boarded the Kaulana in Lahaina. We were greeted by a friendly and genuinely, "eager-to-please" crew. Many day trips aboard other cruises can be fun and interesting, (we've done a few others, on other visits to Maui,) but for us, it's especially memorable when the people you spend a few hours with are sociable and eager to share their love of these beautiful islands. The captain and his crew were also very conscious of our safety and we felt well-guarded against any possible issues. This was a great day, for a great price, and they delivered on dolphins!

I can't swim and was going for my wife. Thank god I went through with it. Off the back the tour was very well organized. 4 crew members including the captain and everyone knew their jobs well and communicated well with us. Very helpful. Very nice breakfast and catamaran sail to lanai island to start with. We saw whales while going to lanai! near lanai we saw a big pod of dolphins. Both times the captain was knowledgeable about steering the boat and showing us the best views. The Dolphins came very close to our boat too! (See attached picture)when we got to the snorkel site- the crew was very empathetic to my lack of swimming skills. They helped me very gently through the entire thing and encouraged me to go into the waters with floats etc. and I'm so glad they did. We snorkeled for an hour at lanai and I had so much fun. After that we sailed back to Lahaina beach while the crew made burgers and we snorkeled at the Lahaina harbor and then ate food. All in all 5 stars to the crew for being on top of everything and at the same time being jovial about it. Definitely recommend taking this day excursion for the views of Maui island and great snorkeling sites. I saw turtles at both sites- and I don't even know how to swim!!

This was our first time going to Maui with the family and we wanted to choose the activities that would leave a great impact on all of us. And boy did we do the right choice. Doing this activity was the best experience ever! The staff was very friendly and informed us regarding safety issues, then we had our continental breakfast. On our way to the first snorkeling spot we had the chance to see some whales and that was a plus. Once we arrived to the right spot we snorkeled for about 45-55 minutes where we all had a chance to see a baby turtle swimming among us (super cute by the way). After that we continued to our second snorkeling place and it was there where we encountered more turtles and fishes. Being able to see the ocean life from a different perspective is amazing. Once we concluded our snorkeling we went back to the boat and had some delicious burgers and hotdogs BBQed for us by the staff. It was just amazing! I encourage you to do the Maui to Lanai - Dolphin Watch & Snorkel BBQ Lunch Cruise.

It was my first time snorkeling and I Totally Loved It!!! Before I booked the activity I was concern because I don't know how to swim but the staff was so friendly and they guided me through the process, which made it super easy and fun for me. They have all the equipment on board and I was able to use a belt that allowed me to float. It was an amazing experience where I was able to watch some whales, turtles and many more marine life. If you are planning a trip to Hawaii snorkeling is a MUST, believe me, you won't be disappointed. But please be aware that if you get sea sick, do yourself a favor and eat one of the bars they sell at the booth before boarding the boat. That way you will ensure to enjoy the whole experience. ALOHA & MAHALO to the crew that was amazing! I WOULD DEFINITELY DO THIS ACTIVITY WITH THEM AGAIN!!!

I joined this tour mainly to snorkel, as I haven't done so for quite a well.
Too bad, though, that the winds were extremely gusty and waves very, very rough. I wish our captain, based on his experience, could have made the decision to bypass Lanai at the outset and gone straight to some friendlier waters such as Molokini, so that we didn't have to suffer through two+ hours of shuffling back and forth between Maui and Lanai.
On the positive side, I did enjoy the two snorkeling stops on the back side (Maui side) of the trip, especially watching my favorite Hawaiian green sea turtles.
BTW: happy hour pretty cool too.

We picked a day with high winds, unfortunately, so most of the trip was very rocky and choppy, causing me and several other guest to throw up. But the crew was super nice and professional in helping us cope with such otherwise very uncomfortable experience.
Due the high winds, we weren't able to snorkel around Lanai because the waters were very murky. Fortunately, it got better when we got back to Maui side. Everyone ended up having a good time snorkeling after all.
My main goal was actually to see dolphins. Too bad we couldn't find any. They saw some whales, but not me, because that's when I was throwing up.
Food was not bad. Like the captain too.

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.
