Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Great boating adventure. No whales :/

Reviewed by: Greg D

While I understand that no one can truly guarantee seeing whales naturally, it's still a bit disappointing not to have seen any and the only reason Oceans Sports didn't get the full 5 stars. We appreciated the opportunity to try again another day but our demanding schedule didn't allow for it.

That being said, the crew was incredible fun and friendly and we very much enjoyed our "boating trip". The drinks were good and we got some incredible recommendations from the crew for lunch and other day-time activities. I would highly recommend this trip to others even with the off-chance of not seeing any whales.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～3月／午前／軽食付き／ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発＞

I had a great time! 楽しめました！

Reviewed by: いっきゅう

I heard that the season had just started and the whales weren't very active, but we saw four splashes! One of them was quite close to us.
The front of the boat had a net, and the kids were lying down there, looking really comfortable! They were so relaxed that they fell into a deep sleep...

Since the guide spoke only in English, my kids and I didn't understand anything, but we still had a great time regardless!

まだシーズン始まったばかりで、クジラはあまり活発に動いてないと聞いていたのですが、4回スプラッシュ！その内1回はかなり近くで会うことができました。
船の先端が網になっていて、子供たちはそこに寝転がり、めちゃめちゃ気持ち良さそうでした！気持ちよすぎて爆睡してましたが…

ガイドは全て英語の為、私や子供には内容は全然分かりませんでしたが、分からなくてもとにかく楽しめました！

Whale watching ホエールウオッチング

Reviewed by: あかさたな

The meeting place was changed the day before the tour. It was quite far from Kailua, which was a hassle. Also, the whales didn't show up; they just floated in the sea. Since it was only in English, I think it would be quite boring if you didn't understand. The good point was that they gave us a voucher to participate for free next time. But I probably won't go again.

ツアーの前日に、集合場所が変更になりました。
かなり、カイルアからは遠くて、参りました。
また、ホエールは現れずただ海に浮かんでいただけでした。
英語しか無い日取りだったので、分からないとかなりつまらないと思います。
良い点は次回無料で参加できるvoucherをくれたこと。
でも、もう行かないかな。

It was fun. 楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: イルカもかわいい

The boat was comfortable. Although we didn't see any whales, I think they did their best to find them. The crew also took pictures with us and worked hard to make the cruise enjoyable. In the end, we stopped at a point where we could see dolphins, and we were able to cruise alongside many dolphins. We didn't see any whales, but it was a satisfying tour.

船上は快適でした。
クジラには会えませんでしたが、頑張って探してくれていたと思います。
クルーの方も、一緒に写真を撮ってくれたり、クルーズ自体を楽しませようと頑張ってくれました。
最後はイルカに会えるポイントに寄ってくれて、たくさんのイルカと並んでクルーズできました。クジラは見れませんでしたが、満足できるツアーでした。

Kohala Sunset Whale Watching Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Great Cruise makes for Perfect Evening

Reviewed by: Michael D

We were picked up from our resort hotel at the Hilton Waikoloa. This was the only sunset whale watch cruise I could find that was actually in Kohala (why go back down to Kona when you're staying in Kohala?), and we were not disappointed.

The pupus were solid and kept us full enough to grab a late dinner after. The drinks were plentiful with lots of choices. Best of all, the skipper knew what he was doing and found us some whales and dolphins. He even got the dolphins to swim alongside/under the boat, which was a truly unique experience to lie on the net, a couple feet above a family of dolphins swimming full speed.

I know they cannot control the animals or the weather, but we lucked out on both fronts. Would recommend!

I recommend this whale watching tour. I saw many whales very near. The staff were friendly and very kind. I could make beautiful memories.

大型船でのホエールウォッチングツアー。過去にもいろいろ参加しましたが、見えることは見えるのですが、小型ボートほど小回りもスピードもないので、近くではみえないだろうなあ、とあまり期待はしてませんでした。まあ、ハワイ島のきれいな海をクルーズしてこよう、と思って参加しました。
海洋生物学者のカナダの女性がとても詳しく楽しく話をしてくれたり、スタッフの人たちも明るく親切な対応で、ストレスもなく船上でゆったりと過ごしてたら、想像以上にクジラをたくさん見れて、しかも近い！参加者全員にちゃんと見てもらえるようにスタッフからの指示もちゃんとしていて、本当に楽しめました。
とてもおススメのツアーです。

There were no whales, but... クジラはいなかったけれど…

Reviewed by: こはむ

I signed up at the last minute the night before. The meeting place, Kailua Pier, is right next to the King Kamehameha Hotel, so it's very easy to find. I was staying at the Sheraton, so I just took the trolley back and forth. During the tour, they worked hard to find whales, but it seems that the sudden warm weather was the reason we couldn't see any. However, I was able to see dolphins jumping, and on the way back, I received a free ticket valid for the next few years. During the cruise, drinks and snacks were provided, and all the staff were friendly, so I was personally satisfied. I don't think many people get seasick, but the front of the boat can be a bit shaky, and you might get splashed, so be careful.

前日の夜にギリギリで申し込みました。集合場所のカイルアピアは、キングカメハメハ ホテルの隣なので、非常に分かりやすいです。私はシェラトンに宿泊していたので、ひたすらトロリーに乗って往復しました。ツアーでは、一生懸命クジラを探してくれていましたが、急に暖かくなったことが原因のようで、観ることは出来ませんでした。しかし、イルカの飛び跳ねる様を観ることができた上、帰りの際に、今後数年有効の次回無料チケットを頂けました。クルーズ中には、飲み物やスナックが提供され、スタッフが皆フレンドリーでしたので、個人的には満足です。船酔いする人はあまりいないと思いますが、先頭は揺れがあり、水飛沫が掛かることがあるので注意が必要です。

I saw so much!! いっぱい見れた！！

Reviewed by: ぷりん

At first, I was about to give up because there was no sign of them at all, but suddenly they appeared right in front of me!! I didn't even have time to take a photo. They were very shy whales; once they showed up, they didn't come back for a while (laughs). Then, out of nowhere, they appeared really close! They came so close that I could see their bumps. After that, I was able to watch three whales for a long time. I could have stayed there forever, but for some reason, we moved to another spot. There, we saw two whales from a bit of a distance. I was internally complaining that we shouldn't have moved~~ while desperately trying to record a video. On the way back to the port, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins! It was a lucky day＼(^o^)／

最初全く出る気配がないので諦めかけていましたが、突然目の前に出現！！写真を撮る余裕もなかったです。とてもシャイなクジラたちで1回出たら暫くでない(笑)そしていきなり激近で出現！イボイボが見えるくらい近くに出ました。そのあと3頭のクジラを長い間見れました。その場所にずっと居てもよかったのに、なぜかポイント移動。そこではちょっと遠めに2頭。移動しなくてよかったのに～～と内心愚痴りながらもビデオを回すのに必死。帰港するときにスピナードルフィンの群れに遭遇！ラッキーな1日でした＼(^o^)／

I was able to fully enjoy nature. 自然を満喫できました

Reviewed by: アイクミ

The morning cruise was wonderful, blessed with great weather. A rainbow appeared, the sky was beautiful, and it felt great just to see people doing yoga on the beach or taking a walk. Once we headed out, we saw whales swimming in the ocean everywhere.

These are completely wild whales, right? I felt like I was in the great outdoors and lost track of time. The boat rocked quite a bit, so I couldn't take photos myself, but there was someone on board with a high-performance camera with a telephoto lens who captured some amazing shots. Everyone got the data from that person and we excitedly talked as if we had taken the photos ourselves.

The cruise also included drinks and light snacks, making it a very satisfying experience.

朝のクルーズは、天気に恵まれて、素晴らしいものでした。虹が出て、空の景色は良いし、浜辺ではヨガをやる人達がいたり、散歩するだけでも気持ち良かったです。さて、沖へ出て、海を泳ぐクジラがあちこちに居ました。
これって、完全に野生の鯨ですよね。なんか、大自然の中にいるんだ！という感覚になって、時間を忘れました。けっこう船が揺れたので、自分では写真は撮れませんでしたが、同乗してた人の中にかなり高性能の望遠レンズ付きカメラを持ってた人が、素晴らしいショットを取っていて、みんなその人からデータを貰って、あたかも自分が撮ったみたいな話をして盛り上がりました。
飲み物や軽食も付いていて、とても満足なクルーズでした。

On the day of the event, I went to the meeting place early in the morning, but the staff informed me that the cruise was canceled due to bad weather. I understood that the sea was rough and the wind was strong, so I accepted it and enjoyed a leisurely whale watching experience at Quay Bay. I would like to try again.

And they give you free reef friendly sunscreen!

however, you don't really feel that you're 'in nature' if that's what you're looking for - it's a very large very fancy cruise ship - just be aware if you're looking for a more intimate experience!

Morning Cruise - saw multiple whales

Reviewed by: Jonathan Smits

Because it was a morning cruise, they made good on sighting whales. There were multiple sightings. The amount of time on the boat was good, because after the sightings, I could actually relax and just enjoy the rest of the boat ride. The refreshments were tremendous. The crew was very generous and informative. I know the crew couldn't get as close as I would have liked, because of regulations, but I sure would have liked to have closer pictures and more majestic surfacings. But, overall we were happy with the cruise.

We had an experience beyond description. After watching the whale sufficiently, when the sailor turned on the music for a small party, the captain shouted for me to look for the noon direction and I saw a wonderful scene. Music was playing on the boat, a group of dolphins came from two o'clock, and a humpback whale made a wonderful vertical jump on the horizon. At that moment my friend and I felt we were in a dream. It was a fascinating and beautiful experience.
