The Dolphin Hawaii boat is a small, engine-powered catamaran. The weather was cloudy with quite a bit of wind, and there was occasional rain coming from the side. On days when the weather isn't great, especially on cloudy days in February, it seems necessary to wear a nylon jacket or bundle up a bit. On windy days, the boat sways quite a bit, but for those who enjoy amusement park rides, the rocking from the waves and the boat's movement can be quite enjoyable.
On the day of the experience, a pod of dolphins was swimming very close to the small catamaran, floating and diving right in front and beside us, and we were thrilled to see them swimming so near. We caught a glimpse of a whale's tail for just a moment, although there were only a few whales. They provided warm tea and a sports bar where we could help ourselves to snacks, both of which were delicious and greatly appreciated on the chilly boat.
The captain and the two staff members who provided friendly and detailed explanations about the ecology of dolphins and whales were impressive, and I was truly impressed by their professionalism and dedication.
イルカハワイさんの船は、エンジンで動かされる小さな小さな双胴船です
天気は曇りで結構な風の日でした
時折横からの雨もありました
天気がそんなによくない日や2月の曇り日には、ナイロン製の上着やある程度は着込んで行く必要がありそうです
風がある日は船は結構揺れますが
遊園地アトラクションなどが好きな人には波と船の走りからくる揺れも楽しめるかと思います
体験した当日はイルカの群れが小さな双胴船の直ぐ近く、前や横で浮いたり潜ったりゎ繰り返し、並走したりと、イルカと双胴船からの水面上の距離はかなり近く、イルカの泳ぎを見ていて興奮しました
クジラは少しでしたが一瞬尾びれが見えました
提供された温かいお茶や自由にとって食べられるスポーツバーもありいずれも美味しく肌寒い船上にてかなりありがたく頂けました
イルカやクジラの生態など詳しくフレンドリーに解説してくれたり
操舵される船長さんと解説や客対応をして下さった二人の働き方は素晴らしく感心しました
めちゃくちゃ楽しめました
お勧めします

I rode this 8 years ago, and it was just as fun as I remembered. As you might expect, the prices have gone up, but it's enjoyable, so that's fine. My English isn't great, but the crew took good care of us. There were only two groups of Japanese people, but that was actually nice. We had a little chat. There are three types of canned beer, and since the highball doesn't have carbonation, it will be a ginger highball instead.
8年前にも乗ってますがやっぱり楽しかったです。
お察しのとおり値上がりしてますが
楽しいのでOKです。
こちらは不慣れな英語ですがクルーはちゃんともてなしてくれました。
日本人は2組だけでしたが、これがまた良いんですよね。

缶ビールは3種類、ハイボールは炭酸が無いのでジンジャーハイボールになります。

Most of the guests were from Europe and America, with a few Japanese and Korean people. The guide spoke only in English, mixing in jokes, which made for a lively conversation. I didn't understand everything, but it was fun!
As for the whales, we saw them a few times, but they were quite far away and only surfaced for a few seconds, so we couldn't take any photos. However, the excitement in the air was palpable. If I could wish for something, it would be that other boats were able to see them up close while we were always a bit far away.
The most moving moment was during sunset. The shots with the beautiful yacht were the highlight of this trip.
ほとんどの客は欧米の方々で一部日本人、韓国人。ガイドは英語のみでジョークをまじえ軽快なトークを楽しめました。意味はすべてはわかりませんが笑
肝心のクジラは何回か見えましたが結構遠くで浮上は数秒なのでカメラ撮影はできませんでしたが歓声が沸き場は盛り上がりました。欲を言えば他船は近くで見れていたのにこっちは毎回遠かったことです。
1番の感動はサンセット時。綺麗なヨットとのショットは今回の旅で最高でした。
I was fine, but my wife started to get seasick halfway through. It seems that the medication didn't help, so those who are sensitive might want to refrain from it.
私はなんでもなかったのですが妻は途中から船酔いになりました。薬を飲んでも効かなかった様子なので弱い方は遠慮した方がいいかもしれません。

Kevin and Sabrina took really good care of us. The boat was clean, explanations/safety rules were well covered, and everything was catered to how we wanted our ride to go! Whale watching together with our friends was such a precious experience and we would recommend it for everyone. They even gave us local recommendations for restaurants and more whale watching locations. We highly recommend it! (And by we, I mean party of 9 girls to celebrate our bride to be!)
Aloha and mahalo for such a nice review!! We really appreciate you taking the time to share about your recent experience with us. Hope to see you again in the future. A hui hou, Mariah

We were so disappointed with our Sunset Dinner Cruise this week.
Why oh why, when a company has it just right, do they get greedy and take away the finesse?
Having taken the steak & lobster package last year, we were so looking forward to repeating the experience - but it failed to live up to expectations.
The singer couldn't sing; we had to queue for our starter (only lettuce plated at the table; the lobster was not prepared, we were provided with lobster crackers and a pick (not what we were expecting, dressed in our best clothes); there was no finger bowl or wet wipe; our steaks were cold and the server came so infrequently we did not get to use two of our drinks vouchers.
Shame on you.
Retire the piano player (or ask him NOT to sing)
Bring back the 'prepared' lobster

I was able to see whales a few times, and I also got to see dolphins up close along the way, making it a satisfying tour. The only downside was that the whales were far away, so I couldn't really grasp their size. The crew also kept things lively during the tour, which was fun. It was great to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea as well.

It was disappointing that we couldn't see any whales. We did see a few dolphins. It seems that once a whale dives, it doesn't surface for several hours, so we couldn't see any during the two-hour tour.

I was worried about getting seasick, but the Mai Tai was very delicious. However, the weather was bad, and instead of a sunset, we ended up sailing in heavy rain. But I was able to see a rainbow at sea and had a great time talking with other guests, so I think this was a valuable experience in its own right. I would like to try again on a nice day next time.
心配していた船酔いもなくマイタイもとても美味しかったのですが、とにかく天候が悪くサンセットどころか大雨の中のセーリングでした。

Mahalo for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Mai Tai and stayed comfortable on the water, even with the unexpected weather. Heavy rain isn’t the sunset sail anyone hopes for, but we’re happy the rainbows and great company helped make it a memorable adventure.

We thoroughly enjoyed the sight of their dorsal fins, bodies, and tails rising from the waves. All the participants let out joyful cheers. The highlight was the moment when both whales raised their tails high before diving—what an incredible experience! We are truly grateful for this opportunity.
