カアナパリ沖 セーリング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事・アルコール2杯付き＞
楽しかった！
Reviewed by: モカちゃん
レンタカーはホテル駐車場に止めてベルボーイに駐車券を見せると後で無料券をくれました。集合場所はホテルのプールを通り越し海側の芝生エリア。着いたら数人のお客さんがいたのですぐわかりました。私たち以外は皆欧米人。日本人スタッフはいなくすべて英語でしたがシュノーケリングツアーはあちこちで参加しているため英語は理解できなくても大丈夫でした。
シュノーケリングスポットには、モロキニ島より魚がいました。モロキニが期待はずれだったから余計にそう思えたのかな。くじらが運良ければ見れるかな？と期待しましたが残念ながらくじらには会えず。やはりくじら目的なら1月以降で2～3月狙いですね。
天気も良くとても楽しかったです。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ スヌーバ体験付きプランあり＜英語ガイド／朝・昼食＞
楽しかった！
Reviewed by: Ryoko
1月に参加しました。英語のツアーでしたが、インストラクターの説明も分かりやすく、クルーも親切でした。朝食とランチが美味しかった。
私はシュノーケリングのみに参加しました。モロキニ島近くはそんなにたくさんの種類の魚が見られなかったのでそれが残念。でも野性のアザラシがいました。スヌーバに参加した連れは波で酔ってしまったのでちょっと残念でした。
行き帰りにクジラが見られると近くに寄ってくれて、ホエールウォッチング・ツアーよりもたくさん間近でクジラが見られて感激しました。

2度目です。前回よかったのでまた申し込みました。
全体的に初回のほうが楽しめました。
・モロキニは深くて魚が少ないし遠い
・ワイレア沖のシュノーケリングは水が濁っていた。前回会えたウミガメにも会えず
・クジラは今回のほうがばっちり見えました。
・ハンバーガーはやはりおいしい。
・揺れと波は相変わらず激しい
１度行けばいいかなという感じです。
シュノーケルだけならマウイにはもっと近くでいっぱいの肴に出会えるところがおおいので。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
Best Experience Ever!
Reviewed by: Brian
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.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
I TOTALLY LOVED IT!!!
Reviewed by: ADRIANA
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!!!

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks
A fantastic way to spend the morning!
Reviewed by: Trevor
I cannot recommend the Four Winds enough! The crew are all fantastic and make you feel welcome right from the outset. Captain John is worth the price of admission alone! We were provided a great breakfast and later lunch with all drinks included, we were well looked after. The equipment used is sanitary and of a high quality and the boat itself is very comfortable.
We were lucky enough to see several wales on the way out to Molokini and the crater itself provided some of the best snorkelling you can do. The other patrons were of all ages and ethnicities and got along famously - this is a great option for those with kids too.
I find it hard to believe you could find a better way to go to Molokini than with the four winds!

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
Don't Sail on Gusty Days
Reviewed by: N2W3
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.

Lanai Dolphin/Snorkel Trip
Reviewed by: Maui Honu
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.

Wonderful trip
Reviewed by: Ray. L
It's a wonderful trip. We saw Whales on the way there and identify turtle near the harbor on the way back. the morning trip is pretty nice for the weather. The people on the boat are very nice. Thanks Zack/Reed. You got to try Snuba since it's easy and fun. You will have multiple chances to get into the water in the 2 hour period. What you can see depends on the season and what kind of fish are active there though.
Aloha and Mahalo Ray! We are so glad you had a wonderful time and hope to have you out with us again in the future! I am posting some underwater whale footage from today on Facebook right this minute! :-)

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
Great time
Reviewed by: Shannon
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.

A Day to Remember
Reviewed by: Lonna Weaver
A big thanks to the captain and crew of the Trilogy for providing our family with a fantastic sail and snorkle! The crew was competent and experienced while maintaining a relaxed and friendly atmosphere aboard the sleek vessel. The cruise did not dissapoint with nice meals special order to meet my gluten free dietry needs. The snorkling stops were just long enough to enjoy with plenty of time to relish some traditional sail time as the captain hoisted the billowing sails over the catamaran. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy world class snorkling on beautifully clear aquamarine waters under the azure Pacific skies.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞
透明度はやはり格別
Reviewed by: cica
初めてのマウイ島のため海の透明度を体感したくて参加しました。
元々船酔いする体質ですが、それなりの大きさの船と聞いていたので、一生に一度くらいはと思って参加しましたが、やはりダメでした。揺れはあまり大きくないのですが、船酔いする体質の方はやはり避けたほうがいいと思います。
それでもがんばってシュノーケリングはしました。
思ったよりも魚はいませんでしたが、やはり透明度は最高で、気持ち良かったです。ウメガメに会えるというスポットでも今回は残念ながら会う事はできませんでした。
けっこう水が冷たいのでウェットスーツはレンタルする事をオススメします。
朝食、昼食もとても美味しかったです。昼食は持ち帰って食べましたが、船酔いさえしていなければ船の上で食べるハンバーガーはとても美味しくて気持ち良かったのではないかと思います。
なにより日本語ガイドの方がずっと気にかけて頂いて、とても感じの良いガイドさんでした。
船酔いするのでもう参加する事はありませんが(笑)、船酔いしてでも参加して良かったです。
魚の少なさに星マイナス1つです。

Snorkeling Trip to Lanai with the Lahaina Princess
Reviewed by: Christian
We already booked the snorkeling trip from our home in Austria and had no expectations at all what we will get as we were snorkeling-novices. On our first day on Maui we made a short trip from our hotel in Kihei to Lahaina to check where our trip will start the next morning. A very friendly lady at the port in Lahaina told us where our snorkeling trip will start and which boat will take us out.
The next morning an extremely friendly captain and his crew welcomed us on board and took us out to two awesome snorkeling spots. On our way we were served breakfast. At the snorkeling spots the crew was enormously helpful with the snorkeling equipment and to get into the water. During the snorkeling the crew members were out on surfboards two overlook the snorkelers. We felt extremely safe and fine.
On our way back we were served lunch with fresh fruits and beverages and nice things to eat.
We can highly recommend this company for booking a snorkeling trip. Unfortunately we did not see any dolphins or green turtles this day, but that is absolutely not the fault of the company.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
Cruise summary and assesment
Reviewed by: Lynda DeWard
On October 7th we joined the Dolphin watch Snorkel cruise to Lanai. It was quite breezy that day and upon boarding we were informed that because of the weather the cruise to Lanai had to be canceled and alternate snorkel locations would have to be used instead of the live coral reefs originally promised off the coast of Lanai, and further, the activities and relaxing time on Lanai would be out of the question. Although very disappointed we understood the situation and sympathized with the cruise captain. She was very nice and we felt sorry for her. We proceeded to her first chosen snorkel location off the coast of Maui, dropped anchor and began preparation for our first snorkel dip. The underwater scenery was somewhat less than spectacular but the experience was interesting. Not having snorkeled for several years it was an exhilarating experience to paddle in the ocean and explore the ocean floor. Subsequently, we pulled anchor and headed for another snorkel area off the shore of Maui and had our lunch, which was quite good and filling. When we arrived at the second site it was too windy to dive there and we were forced to find another alternative site. Again, interesting but even less spectacular than the first and really too windy to enjoy. Exhausted and chilled we finally headed back to Lahaina harbor for our cruise departure. Final assessment, the crew was very good and experienced, the captain was very good and well informed and handled the situation, much as it was, graciously and all in all we did enjoy ourselves on the cruise, but we didn’t even come close to what we were expecting for our investment.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
Beautiful Reef Tour Off Maui!
Reviewed by: Brian Soushek
The VELTRA tour I took was the Maui to Lanai Dolphin and Snorkel cruise on October 7th, 2015. The tour was a great opportunity to see the island of Maui from the water and snorkel in beautiful unspoiled coral reefs. The staff on the tour were attentive and hospitable. The food was great and there was plenty of it. We did not get to our destination of Lanai due to poor weather conditions. In my opinion the boat captain made a wise choice in avoiding a possible dangerous trip across the waterway between Maui and Lanai. The captain did offer the option of rescheduling our trip in order to see the island of Lanai, but our group was leaving the next day so this was not something we could do. I would suggest that anyone taking this tour should schedule it at the beginning of their vacation so if there is inclement weather they can change the date and have the full experience. One other concern was that lunch was served between our snorkeling opportunities and on my second snorkel trip I had a full stomach. I don't suggest doing this. If lunch had been served after the second snorkel it would have been easier on me. Overall though, a great time had by my family!

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
Wonderful experience!!
Reviewed by: kshabanov
I booked this tour for my family [ages 3 & 6]... none of us had any snorkeling experience. We all had a great time learning about the islands, sea animals, and snorkeling. The locations were beautiful!! The crew was friendly and helpful--especially when I was trying to get the kids in and out of the boat [and when my son asked for more cookies!].
Once on the water, at least two crew members were floating around on surfboards teaching, offering advice, and helping us swim back to the boat if we were too tired.
It was a little scary to be afloat in the big ocean, but I felt more confident knowing that there were at least 3 people keeping eyes on the water at all times... we even saw 2 pods of dolphins!

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
A nice time with the family
Reviewed by: Julie
We recently went on the Maui to Lanai Dolphin watch and snorkel trip. Unfortunately not under the control of the crew but the weather was not great and winds were strong enough that we could not make the trip to Lanai. I would have rescheduled as they gave us that as an option but we left the next day so it was not possible. So instead the captain tried to make the best of it by taking us down the west coast of Maui. We stopped at the first snorkel spot and it was good- really far from the reefs so kind of difficult to see much. They gave us about an hour here and then we were supposed to move further south to the next location. When we arrived the weather had picked up so she turned around to head back. They finally settled on a location to let us snorkel again and the seas were rough- better snorkeling though once we got in. However they didn't leave us much time in the water and by the time we got out they said we were to close to the harbor to even have our free drink allowance so 3 people in our party missed out on that :( Bummer since they wouldn't serve it to us prior to snorkeling. Didn't get to see dolphins either (which is why my son wanted to take this trip) but I also know that is not guaranteed. Overall the crew made the best of a bad weather situation. Maybe next time.....

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
Saw some dolphins, turtles, and fish, but not what we paid for
Reviewed by: honeymooners
My husband and I were looking forward to seeing lots of fish/dolphins and enjoying a barbecue lunch and cocktails. Our boarding passes didn't match the boat that we boarded, but we didn't think much of it. The boat started heading toward Lana'i, and the continental breakfast started (Costco muffins cut in half, fresh fruit, granola bars, and coffee or warm pineapple juice). Breakfast was good, but it quickly became EXTREMELY choppy. There was quite a south swell, so my husband and I didn't complain. When we arrived at Lana'i, we had to skip a snorkeling site due to rough water but were able to snorkel in a marine preserve bay. We saw a lot of fish and thought visibility was okay, but more experienced passengers thought that the visibility was awful.
We headed off to a Maui snorkeling site after an hour. On the way, we were treated to our "barbecue" lunch: cold-cut sandwiches, chips, and soda or water. We had all been looking forward to barbecue and almost every adult had been talking about the cocktails they were going to order. Compared to what we paid for, lunch was a real disappointment. But it was about to get worse; the water became even rougher, and passengers started vomiting everywhere - out the cabin windows and all over the floor right where everyone was eating. We did end up seeing dolphins, though.
The second snorkel site had pretty bad visibility, but we did see a few turtles! After an hour, we got back on the boat and headed back to the harbor.
We talked to a couple of locals (one an activity concierge) on the boat, and they said this trip is usually one of the best ones out there. But frankly, if you pay for barbecue and cocktails, you should be getting that (or something comparable with an explanation/apology). This did not happen on our trip. The locals said that the original boat would not have been as rough, as it was much bigger, too. We don't usually complain, but we wish we had gotten a bit of a refund. At least the crew was nice.

A must do when visiting Maui. Try to avoid taking kids the will get seasick. You will become great at snorkeling after the cruise. The crew was awesome, the captain told stories and gave us a bit of history is the islands. The breakfast given was just right, it was light for the long ride to find a good spot to snorkel (about one hour and fifteen minutes), I didn't get to try much of the lunch because I got a little seasick but what I tried was good. We were taken to rough waters to snorkel first then we were taken to a very calm beach with an old dock were we spotted a big turtle that when below most of us snorkeling. To be able to enjoy to the fullest you must drink you any type of anti-seasick drugs.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina
bad weather but still good
Reviewed by: Molly
My sister and I joined this activity because we thought that snorkeling is the must do thing in Hawaii. On the boat, you didn’t feel crowded and every group had their own table. However, the day was bad weather. The captain took us to three different places for snorkeling. There were only few fish and no any dolphins. Moreover, some people were stung by jellyfish. Fortunately, the captain had prepared vinegar on the boat. The crews were very nice. Because my sister is not good at swimming, one of the crew accompanied her during snorkeling. We really appreciated it when he offered to help. And the food provided on the boat is simple but good. I loved fruits. Besides breakfast and lunch, they also provided drinks and snacks. In spite of the bad weather, seeing and enjoying Lanai on the boat were wonderful. There was also a Hawaiian woman telling Hawaiian story during the tour. This tour is worth it and is suitable for everyone.

魚の種類があんなに少ないとは思いませんでした。
もっとたくさんの種類がいると勝手に期待していたので
拍子抜け。
ウミガメを見ることができましたが他のお客さんは見れなかった人も居る様子。日本人は少ないです。あの内容であの程度の魚の量ならリピートはありません。
