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。

We were lucky as the weather was cool and cloudy, but did not rain. Our guides were terrific. We had our "safety" talks and felt very comfortable with the safety harness and double clips used. Our party had ziplined before in Colorado and Costa Rica, so we had comparisons. Our guides were entertaining, knowledgeable and very patient. We did see wildlife - a hawk and of course, the mongoose. We did not want it to end.

I was a bit anxious about my English, so I requested a consent form in advance, filled it out, and brought it with me. We were the only Japanese participants, and the guide spoke entirely in English, but I understood the instructions, and even those who are not good at English can manage if they enjoy the activities. I also got along well with the other participants. After the tour, there was a photo sale, like at Disneyland attractions, and if there's one thing I regret now, it's not buying those photos.
英語に不安があったので、事前に同意書を送ってもらい、記入して持参しました。日本人は私たちのみ、ガイドもオール英語でしたが、指示はわかりましたし、英語が苦手な方もアクティビティが好きならどうにかなります。一緒に参加した方たちとも仲良くなりましたよ。ツアー終了後はディズニーランドのアトラクションのように写真販売もあって、今、後悔していることがあるとすれば、その写真を買わなかったことです。

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.

The instructors were very kind, and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it enjoyable. There were few Japanese participants, and the event was primarily in English, but that was fun in its own way. The height of the zip line added to the grandeur of the experience, and I had a great time. I highly recommend it.

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!

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。

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.

Our 10am whale watching cruise was cancelled but we were accommodated on an other cruise for 10:30am. This one included snorkeling. So it was a big win for us. We did get to see a few whales and dolphins. The crew was amazing. They were friendly and informative. They took the time to chat with us. They gave us some background on the whales and clear instructions before getting in the water for snorkeling. They were very attentive and ready to help everyone during the snorkeling. This was an awesome tour. I would definitely book this tour again and recommend it.

I made a reservation for the 9 o'clock session and arrived at the reception at 8:30. Since I filled out the liability waiver in advance, I measured my weight on the scale next to the reception, and the check-in was completed in just one minute.
I think the percentage of Japanese people is low, and no one speaks Japanese at all, so it's recommended to download the liability waiver from the e-voucher and fill it out beforehand. It takes time to translate on-site.
About 10 minutes before the start time, I received a harness, helmet, and gloves in a room at the back of the reception, and then we traveled to the zip line location in a six-wheeled vehicle used by the military. The zip line descends from a platform built high in the trees. The distance is decent, and we cross a suspension bridge between the wooden platforms, which might be scarier.
The staff are kind, and it's a good tour.
If you're only considering the zip line, Akaka has a longer one.
9時からの回で予約して8:30に受付へ
事前に免責同意書を書いて行ったので受付横の体重計で体重を測って1分で受付は完了です。
日本人率は低いと思うし日本語は全く通じませんので
Eバウチャーから免責同意書がダウンロード出来るので書いて行った方がオススメです。
現地で翻訳してると時間かかるしね。
開始時間の10分前ぐらいに受付奥の部屋で安全帯の装着やヘルメットや手袋を貸してもらったら、軍が使う様な6輪車の車でジップラインの場所まで移動します。
ジップラインは木の高台に作った台の上から下ります。
距離的にはまあまあかな
木の台の間を吊り橋を渡りますがそっちの方が怖いかもしれません
スタッフも優しく良いツアーですよ
