You can't go to Maui during whale season and not go on a whale watching cruise. Would do this again the next time we go to Maui.

The whale experience was good and the boat met the needs of all. The whales weren't real "active" but that is nature!
The only issue I had was printing off the ticket voucher. We were in a condo with no print access so I had to ask a neighbour to print it after emailing it to them. Not sure how you fix this but it was a minor inconvenience.

カアナパリビーチホテルのホエールウォッチングプランで、ラハイナ港から出る大きな船ではなく、30名くらいしか乗船できないアットホームなプランでした。
ツアーガイドも船長もスタッフもホスピタリティ満載で、ソフトドリンクや軽食も頼めばフリーで持ってきてくれますので、鯨観察に没頭できます。
通りすがりの鯨は何頭も見たのですが、これといったシーンがなく残念に思っていた後半に、なんと5連続で鯨のブリーチングを見ることができ、大感動でした。
船には、カアナパリビーチから乗り込みますから、ひざ上位の服か、水にぬれてもOKという服装で参加したほうが良いと思います。
車は、ホテルの立体駐車場に停めます。ツアー参加後にビーチキオスクで駐車印を押してもらえばタダですが、車を出すときに、ホテル入口のベルデスクで駐車印を押したパーキングチケットを提出して無料処理をしてもらわないと出られなくなります。
駐車場出口の所には係員がいませんから、そこで立ち往生すると後続の車からブーイングです。ご注意ください。
我が家は、ツアー参加後に近くのホエラーズビレッジで買い物をしてから駐車券処理をしたので、駐車料金も浮きました。

早起きプランで割引もあり、これで鯨が見られるのなら最高と思い参加しました。
期待通りに鯨を目の前で見ることができ、幸運なのか1時間位そのあたりで遊んでいる鯨だったので、テイルスプラッシュも何度も見ることができました。
ラハイナは駐車場だけが少し心配だったのですが、早朝プランのおかげで近くのパブリックパーキングにも停め放題で、鯨ウォッチングの後、ラハイナの街並みを散歩することもできたので、一日を有効に使えた気がします。

7:30からのツアーに参加しました。
どなたかの体験談にドリンクチケットが貰えるとあったのですが自分たちはありませんでした。船上でコーヒーを$1で飲めました。
次から次とというわけではなかったですが、かなりコンスタントにクジラやイルカがみれて良かったです。
座席は2Fの後ろに陣取ってしまったのですが、前方の座席に座った方が見やすく失敗でした。

昨日帰国しました。
朝7時からのOPに参加しました。
思ったより見れましたよ。
潜るときの背から尾までのきれいな姿やジャンプまで。
駐車場は少し歩きましたが無料駐車場を利用し、OP後にそのまま買い物しました。
残念だったのは家族の内、英語を理解できるのが一部しかいなかったため全員が説明を理解できなかったことかな。
あと、乗船時にグループごとに写真撮影してくれて、クジラの写真が入ったCDと一緒に20ドルで販売されます。
心の準備を!

12月で、一昨日から今年のツアーが始まったばかりというタイミングでした。
二時間くらいのクルーズで、クジラは遠くに3回くらい現れました。
あまりクジラは見れませんでしたが、ガイドさんや船員の皆さんは親切で、何より海がとても綺麗で、気持ちいいクルーズでした。
1月や2月~に比べると、12月はまだクジラが少ないと注意書きがあっても良いかもしれません。

It was my first time snuba diving. Molokini was crystal clear and we could see everything. After the snuba dive we were allowed to snorkel some more. We then went to turtle town. I think the corals were spawning. The water was not very clear. But we did see some more turtles. On the way back we even saw some whales.
Wet suit and the second snuba dive price were not included in the voucher. I wish hawaiiactivities would collect these added fees up front rather than we pay in the boat.

一生懸命ガイドの方が説明してくれるのですが、英語があまり得意ではないので、理解しようとするのが疲れました。英語が出来る方におすすめです。
一つ注意が。このツアーはチップが別料金になっているのが要注意です。チップも加えるとかなりの高額になります。申し込んだ後で気がついたことです。贅沢に使える資金がある方にはOKですよ。車もいいですし、ピクニック気分を楽しめます。

We saw whales doing different things. We saw the tails and back of the whales as they swam and they were completely oblivious to us. I was hoping to see whales up close. But the state law does not allow the boat to get close. So they were not really that impressive from that far away.
Thank you for your review! We are glad you saw whales! When it is peak season of Whale Watching you are sure to get much closer to them! It is truly an amazing experience. State law does not allow the boat to go towards the whales when they are near, however many times they will come up to the boat and we turn the engines off and that is legal if they come up to your vessel. We have had them 'cruise' around our boats for over an hour! We hope to have you again in the future! Mahalo! Lahaina Cruise Company - Hawaii Ocean Project

I have never kayaked or snorkeled before. The kayaking was great the instructor/guide went over everything with us. I liked it so much I will start doing it here at home. My wife loved the snorkeling. I had a bit of an issue in the begging because I sink in water so once I put the life vest on I was good to go. I recommend a gopro camera for some unforgettable footage.

The greeting was nice and the greeter was friendly but she forgot the box of island goodies we had pre-paid for and she did not know what we were talking about when we asked about it. The main office must have not sorted out the paper work correctly... Although they did have the box shipped over to our hotel once we called and told them what happened.
Aloha Alex!

My mother's one wish on visiting Maui was to have a lei greeting so I arranged it with Veltra without her knowing.
What a fantastic experience for her. The rep was waiting by baggage claim, easy to find with her name on a clipboard.
He could have just done his job and presented her with the lei but no, a wide smile, a hug, a warm welcome to the island. He then chatted with her for a few minutes and a final hug before giving us directions to the car rental counter.
Worth every penny, she will cherish this for the rest of her life.
Aloha Peter,
I'm so glad to hear that our crew was able to make your Mother's one wish come true! Awesome! :) I love it when visitors to our island get the full experience of what life is like in Hawaii! I hope she made a bunch of memories and wish you both well!
