I tried not to get my hopes up too much, but in the end, I was very satisfied. We were able to see whales up close multiple times, and both the kids and adults were extremely excited. I think luck plays a part, but I can definitely recommend it.
期待し過ぎにないようにしていましたが、結果的にとても満足しました。
肉眼で確認できる距離で何度も鯨を確認でき、子どもも大人も大興奮でした。その日の運もあると思いますが、お勧めできます。

I participated with half expectations, considering it was nature. Although I didn't get to see the jumping whales, I was able to see the magnificent spouts and tails up close, right in front of the deck where I was standing. I was so mesmerized that I forgot to take pictures.
The breakfast was delicious too.
With the blue sky and blue sea, and the Hawaiian music flowing gently inside the boat, I think that alone makes it worth the experience.
自然相手ということもあり、期待半分で参加しました。さすがにジャンプするクジラの姿は見れなかったものの、ちょうど立っていたデッキの真ん前+結構近い距離で、豪快な潮吹きと尾びれを見ることができました。あまりの事に見とれてしまい、写真撮るのを忘れました。w
朝食も美味しかったです。
青い空と青い海。ゆったり船内に流れるハワイアンミュージック。もうそれだけで体験する価値はあるかな、と思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the whales up close. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

Wow, a great tour! Our driver Mark, was terrific. Very entertaining, and showed us great sites, movie locations, celebrity hones, and Hawaiian heritage sites. He knows a lot about Hawaiian and Tahitian culture. He took us to a little shop with great coffee and souvenirs. Lunch stop was at a shrimp stand with wonderful food.
Highly recommended.

I participated with my one-and-a-half-year-old child. I was worried about seasickness, but there was no need to worry about the rocking. My child was delighted to spot a whale and pointed it out! The weather was great, and it was very elegant to look at Waikiki from the sea. We enjoyed the cruise thoroughly. We didn't order breakfast and brought our own bread to eat. Coffee can be purchased on board for $4 if you order it. I'm glad I participated! We drove to the meeting point and were able to park in a nearby parking lot for $5. It was convenient because we could head out right after it was over.
一歳半の子連れで参加しました。
船酔いとかしたら?と心配しましたが、揺れる心配もなく。
子供も鯨を見つけて指差して喜んでいました!!
お天気もよく、海上からワイキキを眺めるのもとっても優雅で。
クルージングとしても十分楽しめました。
朝食は頼まず、パンなどを持参して食べました。コーヒーは注文すれば船内で買えます。(4$)

Despite the clear blue sky with not a cloud in sight, I was a bit disappointed to hear that the gate to the summit was closed. However, when the gate finally opened just before sunset, my spirits were already lifted. As we welcomed the sunset, I was even more moved by the breathtaking scenery! And then… I lost track of time under the starry sky filled with shooting stars, despite the strong winds and bitter cold. The participants shared constellations with us, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" for my husband, who would be celebrating his birthday two days later, creating unforgettable memories for us in our 60s. The tour was incredibly satisfying thanks to the staff's efforts in explaining the scenery on the way to the summit, stopping at the lava flow for photos, providing warm bento boxes, and bringing in telescopes for observing Jupiter. The service was exceptional! I also appreciated the ability to download the photos taken by the staff later. Thank you, Konno-san!
雲ひとつない快晴なのに山頂行きのゲートがクローズとのこと。少しがっかりした分、ゲートが日没ギリギリに開いた時には既に気分が高揚です。サンセットを迎えて、その光景にさらに感動!そして…降るような星空と流れ星に、強風と酷寒にもかかわらず時を忘れてしまいました。参加者の星座を教えていただいたり、二日後に誕生を迎える夫のために皆さんで「ハッピー・バースデー」を歌ってくださったりと、60代の私たちに、忘れがたい思い出が増えました。山頂に向かう途中の風景の説明や溶岩流での下車、写真撮影、温かいお弁当、天体望遠鏡を持ち込んでの木星観察…とスタッフが全力で頑張って「おもてなし」をしてくださった事で大満足のツァーとなりました。スタッフが撮ってくれた写真を後日にダウンロード出来るのも嬉しいサービスです。今野さんありがとう!

Check-in at the office near Kailua Pier should be done 30 minutes before boarding time. If you check in too early during the hot daytime, there isn't much shade near the boarding area at the pier, so you'll need to find somewhere to escape the sun. They take group photos when you board, and at the end, they sell a CD with the photos on the boat for about $20.
After a few minutes on the boat from Kailua Pier, you transfer to a waiting submarine offshore. The real submarine was quite interesting. You can see plankton that looks like baby whales drifting in the seawater outside the window. The coral reefs are more colorful in Miyako Island, Okinawa, but the scenery of coral growing on the rugged lava is unique to the Big Island of Hawaii. I couldn't hear the Japanese guide at all, but there was a volume adjustment available. I still enjoyed it even without hearing anything.
On the way back to Kailua Pier, I was thrilled to encounter a pod of dolphins by chance.
乗船時間の30分前までに、カイルア桟橋近くの事務所でチェックイン
昼間暑い時間だと、あまり早くにチェックインしてしまうと
桟橋の乗船場近くにはあまり日影がないので
どこかで日差しを退避することになります。
乗船するときにグループごとに写真を撮ってくれるのですが
最後に写真にCDを付けたものを船内で販売します。20ドルだったかな?
カイルア桟橋から船に乗って数分、沖合で待機している潜水艦へ移動して乗り換えます。
本物の潜水艦はそれなりに面白かったです。
窓の向こうの海水にクジラの赤ちゃん?みたいなプランクトンとか
肉眼で漂っているのがわかります。
サンゴ礁は、沖縄の宮古島のほうが色とりどりですが
溶岩のごつごつした上に生えるサンゴの風景は、ハワイ島ならではと思います。
日本語ガイドは全く聴こえなかったのですが、
ボリュームを調整するところがあったのですね。
聴こえなくても楽しめました。
船に乗ってカイルア桟橋に戻るときに、たまたまイルカの群れに出会えて感動しました。

This was my third participation in two consecutive years. I joined last March and, due to bad weather, I only paid for the lunch box to try again, and this time is my third.
Last time, the sunset was very beautiful, but there were few stars because it was close to a full moon. This time, although I couldn't see the sunset due to bad weather, the starry sky was magnificent near the new moon! I was moved by how many stars there are.
While sitting outside, Mr. Yamauchi explains the stars and shares various stories, but he tends to speak quickly during the star explanations, which is quite disappointing for participants who are not familiar with stars. Since the stars are so beautifully visible, I think it would be a better experience if we could listen to the star stories more slowly and remember them to take home.
二年連続、三度目の参加でした。
昨年の3月に参加し、悪天候のため滞在中にお弁当代のみで再挑戦、そして今回が三度目。
前回はサンセットがとても美しく見えましたが満月近くで星の数が少なく、今回は悪天候でサンセットは見られなかったものの、新月近くで満天の星空!
星ってこんなにあるんだなぁ…と感動しました。
屋外でイスに座って山内さんが星の説明や色々なお話しを聞かせてくれますが、星の説明の時に早口になってしまうのは星に詳しくない参加者にはとても残念です。
せっかく綺麗に星が見えているので、星のお話をもっとゆっくり聞いて覚えて帰れたら、よりよい体験になると思います。
I tend to get so excited that I want to talk about everything and end up speaking quickly. I'll be careful about that. Our company allows for a redo anytime if the stars aren't visible, so you can rest assured!

This was my first time in Hawaii.
I only participated in this optional tour.
The sunset went by in an instant, but the 360° view of the horizon during sunset was breathtaking!
The starry sky in Maui was filled with so many stars, so close that it was dazzlingly beautiful.
However, what made this tour great was not just the sunset and the starry sky.
It was the guidance of our friendly guide and the drive to the summit of Haleakalā!
I learned a lot about Maui, and the guide helped me when I was struggling with English at the hotel.
Honestly, without this person, my enjoyment of Maui might have been halved (laughs).
And the drive to the summit, which I never even thought about... was so much fun!
We drove above the clouds! I never imagined that (laughs).
The wonderful scenery and the guide's stories made for an enjoyable drive!
However, one thing I thought I should be careful about next time is to take it easy on the day I arrive in Hawaii and rest my body.
I couldn't sleep much on the flight there and was sleep-deprived.
If you want to enjoy Hawaii 100%, I think it's best to have a relaxed schedule on the first day.

はじめてのハワイでした。
オプショナルツアーは、こちらだけ利用させていただきました。
サンセットはあっという間でしたが、360°ほぼ地平線のサンセットは、圧巻でした!
マウイの星空も、すごくたくさんで、すごく近くて、目がおかしくなるほどの美しいキラメキでした。

I remember that at first, I couldn't speak any English at all and was wandering around the city in silence. I was looking for a restaurant late at night at the Hilton in Los Angeles, and by chance, an employee at the restaurant was Japanese and, seeing me in need, directed me to the $5 staff cafeteria in the basement of the hotel. Haha, that kindness still stays in my heart. Please come back to Maui anytime!
最初自分も全く英語が出来なくて無口で街を徘徊していたことを覚えています。確かロスアンジェルスのヒルトンで夜中にレストランを探していて、たまたまお店の従業員の方が日本の方で見るに見かねて、ホテルの地階にある5ドルの社員食堂だったと思います。笑 あの優しさは今でも心に残っています。またいつでもマウイに戻ってきてくださいね!

We used this service for our honeymoon. On the day of our visit, the gates were closed due to strong winds, so we watched the sunset from a hill near the Onizuka Center. After that, we moved to a different location for stargazing. Since it was a new moon, the night sky was filled with countless stars, which was truly moving. Additionally, they took shots that I couldn't capture myself, and the fact that we could download them after the tour was also appealing.
Most importantly, thanks to our guide, Macchan, who kept the atmosphere lively with fun talks, we were able to forget the negative aspect of not being able to reach the summit and had a wonderful time. The cute hats they provided are also a lovely memory. Next time I visit the Big Island, I will definitely use Nature School again.

While driving, they explained about the Big Island of Hawaii. Since it's difficult to get around without a car when traveling individually, I appreciated their attention to detail, like stopping at a supermarket and providing information about the time until the next restroom break.
For dinner, we had a bento in the cold, but they also prepared warm miso soup and drinks. I think it's a good idea to have a scarf, fleece, or a light down jacket with you.
Regarding the tour title, unfortunately, it was cloudy, and we only saw a sea of clouds, so we couldn't enjoy the sunset or the starry sky, which I was most looking forward to.

この度は、弊社催行のマウナケア山頂 夕陽と星のツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございます。
曇っていて、サンセットと星が観測できなかった、とのことで、とても残念です。 今回に懲りず、ぜひ、再チャレンジで、またツアーにご参加ください。
今の時期、マウナケア山頂は一番寒いかと思います。 風など吹いていますと、体感温度はもっと冷たく感じると思います。
スタッフ一同、もやし様の再チャレンジを心よりお待ち申し上げております。

The cruise was nice, we saw plenty of whales surfacing for air. took some great videos. figure out of you get seasick and be properly equipt. The crew were great and the captain was very knowledgeable. He gave a great talk on the island, whales, and any question people were curious about.

Basically, everything is in English. Honestly, we couldn't enjoy it much since we don't understand English. The show is very interactive, with a strong tendency to bring audience members on stage for fun conversations, which might not be suitable for those who want to see Polynesian dance. I think it would be very enjoyable for those who are fluent in English, have a good sense of humor, and are comfortable dancing in front of others. The staff was kind. There were several changes to the pickup location and time since the reservation, but they accommodated us when we informed them that there was a person in a wheelchair.
基本、すべて英語です。英語がわからない我々は正直あまり楽しめませんでした。
ショーも参加型のショーで観客を舞台に上げて楽しく会話をするといった傾向が強く、ポリネシアンダンスを見たいという方には不向きかもしれません。
英語が堪能でノリがよく人前で踊るのも平気という方にはとても楽しいと思います。
スタッフの方は親切でした。
予約時からピックアップ場所や時間が何回か変更になりましたが、車いすの人間がいることを伝えると対応していただけました。
