Teralani Charters

• Staff review

Teralani Charters offers whale watching, sunset, and snorkeling cruises. Their fleet consists of three 65' x 35' luxury catamarans. 

Teralani Charters offer breathtaking whale watching, snorkeling, and sunset cruises on a 65′ luxury catamaran. Their office is in Lahaina, but check-in is out front of the Wakcoco Restaurant of the Westin Maui Hotel.

Let’s explore the fleet before we look into the various cruises. Their three vessels—Teralani 3, 4, and 5—are designed with your comfort in mind. These catamarans have identical features:

• 65′ x 35′
• Two spacious restrooms
• Freshwater showers
• Seating inside and outside
• Covered salon and bar

Age is the only difference between vessels. Teralani 3 was built in 2005, Teralani 4 in 2019, and Teralani 5 in 2020.

Getting aboard is effortless, too. Your catamaran will beach bow-first, and you’ll ascend a walkway between the two pontoons. When out in deeper water, you’ll use one of the two stairs on the stern. Both stairs pierce the water’s surface, making getting back aboard relatively simple. 

Now let’s look at the tours in more detail. Here are your options:

• Event Trips
• Snorkel Trips
• Sunset Sails
• Whale Watching
• Private Charters

Whale Watching Every December-April, the North Pacific Humpback Whale migrates to the warmer waters of Maui to breed, give birth, and raise their calves. These gentle giants of the deep can be up to 60′ long and weigh anywhere from 25-40 tons. 

Experts on whales agree that February is the peak season for whale watching, and the best time of day to go is in the morning, when sunlight is ideal for pictures.

Federal Law dictates that boats and individuals must stay at least 100 yards away from whales. While all whale tours boast of giving you an “up-close experience,” your captain may opt to stay further away from whales not to violate the law. And the online photos showing a whale breaching a few yards from a tour guest are either faked or were done illegally. 

Teralani Charters offers four tours. The first three include snacks or light meals, have a full-service bar, and cost the same amount. The Sunset Dinner cruise is more expensive due to the buffet meal.

• Early Bird Whale Watch 7:30-9:30 AM
• A.M. Whale Watch 10:00-Noon
• Mid-day Whale Watch 12:30-2:30 PM
• Sunset Dinner Whale Watch Times Vary; 2.5-hour trip

Snorkeling Teralani Charters offers the Lanai Snorkel Adventure and the Maui Premier Snorkel Adventure. Here are both in more detail:

Lanai Snorkel Adventure This tour is their most expensive and is only available Tuesday-Friday. Your 6-hour cruise starts at Kaanapali Beach at 8:30 AM. While sailing ten miles to the Island of Lanai, you’ll enjoy a breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls and egg and cheese croissants. Once at Lanai, you’ll snorkel (all gear is included) at secluded spots like Sweetheart Rock and Club Lanai. After snorkeling, your crew serves a healthy lunch of Mediterranean salad, grilled teriyaki chicken, dessert, and seasonal fruit. Vegetarian options are available, and the open bar serves adult beverages, juices, and soft drinks. 

Maui Premier Snorkel Adventure  This package is offered year-round and is from 9:30-2:30. From Kaanapali Beach, you’ll sail to a West Maui snorkeling location and anchor. While you watch colorful tropical fish swim around coral reefs, your crew is preparing your lunch. The menu is identical to that of the Lanai Snorkel Adventure. Once onboard, you’ll dine, sip drinks from the open bar, and head back to Kaanapali.  

We believe you’ll have a fantastic adventure with any one of the tours offered by Teralani Charters. 

Insider Tip: Parking can be a challenge, but is doable if you know these points in advance:

• Do not park at the Westin Hotel; this is for guests only.
• For a fee, park at Wheelers Village Shopping Center. Merchants can validate parking with a small purchase.
• Once parked, walk through the mall toward the ocean to check-in. Find the beach path, turn left, and walk past Leilani’s restaurant . Check-in is near Walcoco Restaurant of the Westin hotel.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
