My husband and I really enjoyed our ride down into the valley. We learned a great deal of history from our guide as well as trivia like the fact they used Waipio Valley as the "Dry Land" in the movie Waterworld.
It's a beautiful and magical place.

We spotted them about five minutes after setting sail! After that, they continued to show us blows, breaches, tail slaps, and pectoral slaps one after another. Although we weren't very close, I was completely satisfied with how frequently they performed their "dance."
Fortunately, the Hilton Waikoloa where I stayed had a room at the very end facing the ocean, and during the morning and afternoon, I could see blows and breaches in the distance. I participated in the tour in early March, and it seems to be the perfect time for whale watching, as we encountered them frequently.
We were blessed with good weather; there were some waves, but the boat's rocking was less than I had worried about, making for a comfortable journey.

I didn't want to go into the ocean, but my elderly mother did, and since it was our first time in Hawaii, I wanted to see the underwater world while snorkeling. The glass-bottom boat made both of our wishes come true.
While we didn't see a wide variety of colorful corals, the water was clearer than we expected, and we were able to see quite a few fish. We even encountered dolphins! Although we only saw their fins.
The staff were cheerful and kind, and even though we hardly spoke any English, we had a great time.

As we left the shoreline, the captain noticed several whales breaching in the distance. He asked if we wanted to go past the reef to see it and we all said yes, of course. We spent most of the 30 minutes whale watching from a distance. On our return trip, the crew still found time to pass over the reef and explain several interesting details not only about the reef but the animals the call it home. It was a great time and the crew did a great job!

This is a luxurious tour where you can enjoy whale watching, dolphin watching, sea turtle viewing, and snorkeling all on a cruise charter. We participated as a family of six across three generations, and with two staff members accompanying us, one of whom entered the water to provide guidance and support, my 78-year-old mother, who has paralysis on her right side, was truly grateful to be able to snorkel together. After snorkeling, there was a service of tropical fruits, juice, and snacks, which I believe offers great value for the price. I especially recommend private charters for families with small children or elderly individuals.
クルーザーチャーターで、ホエールウオッチングも、イルカウオッチングも、ウミガメかざしも楽しめ、スノーケルも楽しめる贅沢なツアーです。
三世代家族6人で参加しましたが、スタッフが2人付いてくれ、1人が一緒に海に入って指導やサポートをしてくれるので、78歳で右半身に麻痺が残る母も、一緒にスノーケルできたのが本当にありがたかったです。
スノーケル後にはトロピカルフルーツやジュース、スナックのサービスもあり、お値段以上の価値があると思います。
特に小さいお子さんや高齢の方にはプライベートチャーターはお勧めです。
Private charters offer not just a luxurious experience, but also true peace of mind and freedom. If you want to make the most of your trip, I definitely recommend going private.
プライベートチャーターは、贅沢な体験という以上に、本当に安心安全で自由が利きます。せっかくの旅行を満足なものにしたいのでしたら、是非プライベートをお勧めします。

Waipi'o Valley looks very different from above compared to when you actually descend into it. Once you step onto the land, you can feel as if you are in the village from the movie Moana. The guide was very friendly and explained the plants and flowers during the tour. The scent of the vanilla flower that was picked and handed to me lingers in my nose.
ワイピオ渓谷は上から眺めるのと、実際に降りるのとでは、大きくイメージが異なります。
その地に降り立つと、映画:モアナ の村はこんな感じだったのかと、感じることができるでしょう。

I recommend watching the movie "Moana" in advance. I watched it on the plane on my way back and thought, "Ah, I was in this world."
