I recommend it. おすすめです

Reviewed by: なび

Within five minutes of departing, a whale appeared, and we were all so excited! At first, we could only see it from a distance, but eventually, the whale came closer, and cheers erupted all around the boat. It's also reasonably priced, so I highly recommend it!

出港して5分もしないうちにクジラが現れ、大興奮!
最初は遠くでしか見ることが出来ませんでしたが、最終的にはクジラから近づいて来てくれて、船のいたるところで歓声が上がっていました。
金額的にも手頃ですし、本当におすすめです!

I saw a whale!! クジラ!!見れました!!

Reviewed by: きらこ

We participated with 10 family members and friends.
We were able to see whales, of course!
The staff promptly informed us when the whales appeared.

There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, so they provided interesting and easy-to-understand explanations in Japanese.

In addition to the whales, our family participated in a hula dance lesson, which was a lot of fun.
I also joined a ukulele lesson with my friends.

Additionally, they provided live music, which kept things engaging.

The food was better than I expected.

家族、友人と10名参加しました。
クジラはもちろん見れました!!

日本語が話せるスタッフもいらっしゃったので、日本語で面白くわかりやすく説明してくれました。

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Linda

Having lived on Oahu for 5.5 years in the 50s, my sister and I were anxious to visit old haunts, outside the Waikiki area and this tour certainy accomplished that for us. Our guide, Greg, went above and beyond the list of attractions/sights we were scheduled to see and had such a breadth of knowledge about the islands' history, culture and general Hawaiian topics that we came away from the tour much more informed than when we started it. He was witty, caring and very dedicated to his job, making all his passengers feel very special for a day.

From giving us hints about how to get the best seats on the boat for the Arizona Memorial in the morning until the time he dropped us off - exhausted - at the end of the day, touring with Greg was like being part of an extended family.

If there were more than 5 stars, this tour and the guide would get them. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - on the first day of our 10-day trip - and set the standard by which we judged the others we took

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Great Time!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We went with a group of friends this past Saturday on the Early Bird cruise and it was fabulous! We saw whales pretty much the moment we left the harbor and we got lots of pictures. It wasn't too crowded at all. The ship is very nice, very well maintained and clean. The crew was very friendly and helpful.

I recommend motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. I am, and even though I took it beforehand I still got seasick.

We saw a pod of three whales, dolphins, and albatross. A very neat experience for us and the kids.

I participated at the end of last year, but I'm very late in writing this. This tour was absolutely amazing.

After enjoying the magnificent sunset sinking into the sea of clouds from an elevation comparable to Mount Fuji, you immerse yourself in a world filled with countless stars. It's an experience you can't have in your everyday life. Also, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was very kind and kept the guests engaged. If you're going to Maui, definitely consider joining this tour.

I wrote about my experience on my blog. I hope it helps!

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

Nature is great!! 自然は偉大だ!!

Reviewed by: biwako

Since it was my first time booking individually online, I was nervous until the pickup arrived, but Yamapee came to greet me personally, and it went smoothly.

The sunset and starry sky were beyond my imagination!! It's not just about watching the sunset. The clouds illuminated by the sunset along the way to the summit showed wonderful expressions one after another, making me feel like I had become a hermit. Everything is on a grand scale.

Many people seem to come to Maui seeking something beyond just the scenery, whether it's healing, purification, or to gain energy, but being in that vast nature makes the chaotic daily life feel very small, and it brings a gentle feeling.

Lying down in a completely silent place and gazing at the star-filled sky. It's just that, yet for some reason, I couldn't stop crying. It was a mysterious experience.

I am grateful to Yamapee for taking the time to let me enjoy Maui's nature.

I definitely want to go again, but I would appreciate it if the fried items in the bento could be reduced (>_<). They are heavy for my stomach...

初めてネットから個人で予約したので、お迎えが来るまでドキドキでしたが、ホテルまでYamapeeさん(若く見えますが、半世紀仲間です(*^^))が直々にお迎えに来てくれ、スムーズでした。

サンセットと星空は、想像以上!!
ただの、夕日見学じゃないですよ。
山頂までの途中に見える、夕焼けに照らされる雲も、次々にすばらしい表情を見せてくれて、自分が仙人にでもなった感覚です。
とにかく、全てのスケールが大きいです。

癒しとか浄化とか、パワーもらいたいとか、景色という目的以外に、マウイには何かを求めて来る方が多いみたいですが、あの大きな自然の中にいると、ゴチャゴチャしている日常生活はとても小さい事に思えて、優し~い気持ちになれます。

全く音のない場所で、満天の星を寝そべって見る。
ただそれだけなのに、なぜか涙が止まらなくなる。
不思議な体験でした。

ゆっくりと時間を取って、マウイの自然を満喫させてくれるYamapeeさんに感謝です。

ぜひまた行きたいですが、お弁当の揚げ物少なくしてもらえると嬉しいなぁ(>_<)
おばちゃんの胃には、重い・・・。

The guide was very kind.
The scenery was amazing.
The starry sky was also fantastic.
It was really cold!
I brought two pairs of gloves and earmuffs, so I was fine, but my friend who was with me got so cold during the stargazing that they were in "I want to get back to the car quickly!" mode. They do lend out winter clothing, but it’s better to prepare your own as well.

At that time, I wasn't climbing mountains, but now that I do, I wish I had gone to the "real summit."

Pearl Harbor Battleship Missouri General Admission Tickets & Guided Tours

USS Missouri

Reviewed by: Rhonda

I was hesitant whether or not to go to the USS Missouri while visiting Pearl Harbor because we did not have a full day to spend there. I am glad I did. We did the tour on our own, which I would recommend if you are on a time restraint as we were. We were able to stop and listen to some of the guides as they were communicating with their groups and overall had a great experience for the cost.

I guess this is about it. こんなもんでしょう

Reviewed by: ゴマッタ

I participated in whale watching during my mother and aunt's first trip to Hawaii, as it was the season for it. If you're expecting the spectacular jumps often seen in whale photos, you might be disappointed. However, if you approach it with the mindset of leisurely enjoying a cruise in Hawaii, you might feel lucky and satisfied to see some whales as a bonus.

They made sure we could see the whales well by moving around to chase them, and with lunch included, I think the price is reasonable.

I chose this tour because it was offered in Japanese, and while there were Japanese announcements during the cruise, it was disappointing that the staff's explanations about the whales right after departure were only in English.

母と叔母の初めてのハワイ旅行でホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので参加しました
よくクジラの写真であるような 豪快なジャンプを期待していたらだめです。
ハワイのクルーズをのんびり楽しむくらいの気持ちで参加すれば、おまけにクジラが見られてラッキーと満足できるかも

ちゃんとクジラが良く見られるように、クジラを追いかけ移動もしてくれたし、ランチもついてこの値段だったらOKなのではないでしょうか

ただ、日本語対応コースだったので参加したのですが、航行中のテープアナウンスは日本語もありましたが、出航直後のスタッフのクジラの説明など英語のみだったのが残念でした

I saw it, but... 見えましたが・・・

I saw the tail fin while the water was splashing and the back was moving. Considering that there are times when you can't see anything at all, I think I was lucky, but it still feels unsatisfying if you can't see the whole jump. Even though the time is long, around 2 to 3 hours, it can get sleepy since there isn't much movement. It might be nice for enjoying a leisurely time on the sea.

潮吹きと背中が動いているところ、尾びれが見えました。全く見えないこともあることを考えるとラッキーだったのだと思いますが、やはりジャンプなど全体が見れないと物足りないです。時間が2~3時間と長い割に、特に移動をしないので眠くなります。のんびり海の上の時間を楽しむにはいいかも。

Royal Star Pearl Harbor Experience with Tickets to Arizona Memorial & City Tour

Well worth it! Recommend.

Reviewed by: Sunbrn

The tour and the tour bus were excellent. We got tickets to the Arizona shuttle/tour as advertised and the driver was fun and informative. Worth the price for the "front of the line" tickets at the Arizona. Family of 6 really enjoyed the experience and it was the right duration for the youngest (5).

The instructions for pickup at 635am were vague enough to cause a little confusion for us because the hotel where we were picked up is closed and under renovation. And the point of contact number on the voucher was not answered at that time of the morning to make sure we were at the correct location. A little "personal attention to detail" giving more information would have gone a long way to make the pickup less stressful. This is our only complaint... minor.

It was good, but a little more... 良かったですが、もう少し…

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On January 1, 2011, I participated with my family of four. It was great to see a whale for the first time in my life. However, since it was a large boat, I thought it would be difficult, and I was a bit disappointed that we were a little far from the whale, so I couldn't fully experience its size. I also wished we could have spent a bit more time watching the whales. Nonetheless, it was a relatively easy tour, and I don't think you can have this kind of experience in Japan, so I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see whales.

2011年1月1日の元日に家族4人で参加しました。生まれて初めて鯨を見ることができたので良かったです。ただ大きな船なので難しいとは思いますが、ちょっと鯨との距離が離れていたので大きさを体感することができなかったのは残念でした。またもう少し鯨を見る時間をとってほしかったなと思いました。でも比較的手軽なツアーだし、日本ではこのような体験はできないと思うので鯨を見てみたい人にはオススメのツアーだと思います。

The whale was surprisingly far away, but the cruising was refreshing. クジラは意外に遠かったけど、クルージングは爽快

Reviewed by: 磨波郎

I participated with my wife and our third-grade son. Shortly after departure, we encountered a mother and baby whale. We were able to see them quite a few times while keeping our distance. One of those times, we were lucky enough to witness the mother whale jumping and showing her massive body above the water's surface. However, the distance was generally far, so the emotional impact was somewhat diminished. Also, since we could mostly only see the whales' backs, we had to concentrate on the surface of the water to catch the exciting moments like when they jump or elegantly raise their tails above the surface. That can be quite challenging.

This was my first time whale watching, so I might have underestimated it a bit. On the other hand, a pod of dolphins came quite close to the boat and swam alongside us, and when the boat picked up speed, the sea breeze felt pleasant. If you can think of it as mainly enjoying the cruising experience, it could be quite happy.

The staff was cheerful and friendly, and the captain was impressively talkative, providing explanations (though in English). There were snacks and fruits available, but no substantial meals. Coffee and water were unlimited, but cocktails were available for an extra charge.

 妻と小学校3年の息子の3人で参加しました。 
出港後、ほどなくして親子のクジラに遭遇。遠巻きに見ながら追っかけて、けっこうな回数、見ることができました。 しかも、そのうち1回は親クジラがジャンプするような感じで巨体を水面に出す場面が見れたので、ラッキーでした。ただ、距離は全般的に遠かったので、感動も小さかったかな。 また、クジラはほとんど背中しか見えませんので、ジャンプするところや尾びれを優雅に水面に出すオイシイ場面を見逃さないようにするには、集中して海面を見つめていなければなりません。それがけっこう大変かも。
 私はホエール・ウォッチングは初めてでしたので、ちょっと安易に考えすぎてすぎていたかもしれません。
 その代わりにイルカの群れは、けっこう船の近くまで寄っ
てきて泳いでくれましたし、船がスピードを出すと潮風が心地よかったので、クルージングを楽しむことがメインだと思えればHAPPYかもしれません。
 スタッフは陽気でフレンドリーだし、船長は感心するくらいしゃべりっぱなしで説明をしていました(ただし英語)。
 あと、スナック菓子やフルーツはありましたが、食事的なものはありません。コーヒーと水は飲み放題ですが、カクテル類は有料でした。

I went to see the whales. クジラ見てきました。

Reviewed by: テイミス

I joined a tour that departed in the afternoon. I skipped lunch expecting some light snacks, but what was served were just some snack bites and fruit, which was a bit disappointing. The drinks were free except for alcohol, but since we were on a boat, it felt awkward to go to the restroom, so I couldn't drink too much. However, I did get to see whales that I wouldn't have seen on land, so it was okay.

If you want to take good photos of the whales, you need a serious camera with a telephoto lens and shoot in burst mode, otherwise, you'll end up with photos where you can't even tell where the whale is. My IXUS was completely useless for whale photography.

午後出発のツアーに参加しました。
軽食付きに期待して昼ご飯を抜いたら、供されたのはおつまみスナックとフルーツくらいで、ちょいがっくり。飲み物はアルコール以外フリードリンクですが、船上の事、トイレに行くのも憚られるのでそうそうがぶ飲みも出来ず。
でも陸に居ては見られないクジラを見られたし、まあOKです。
クジラの写真をちゃんと撮って帰りたい人は、望遠レンズ付きのマジなカメラで連写しないと、どこにクジラがいるのかさっぱり判らない写真しか撮れない事になるので、ご注意を。私のIXYはクジラ撮影には完璧に無力でした。

I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
There was a Japanese staff member, but their service was not very attentive, which was disappointing.
It was great to see a lot of whales.

家族で参加しました。
海が荒れていたので、とても揺れました。

日本人のスタッフの方がいましたが、あまり丁寧な対応ができていませんでした。それが残念でした。
鯨は、たくさん見れて良かったです。

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Double N Kenn

Reviewed by: Feb72011

Tours are only as good as it's tour guides and Kenn was good. Travelling with 3 generations of women, I was able to sit back, relax and let Kenn do his magic. A Morgan Freeman like masterpiece, The women, mother, wife and niece, were bringing up his name long after the tour ended. The 11 hours passed by quickly. Well worth the money. Mahalo

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

Well worth getting up for!!

Reviewed by: Hoffmans (Nebraska)

This was spectactular! We watched the sun come up over the clouds at 10,000+ feet. Before the sunrise the stars were so wonderful. We could see so many. The sunrise itself was breathtaking. This is an experience well worth the early wake up call. Bob is a very knowledgable and entertaining tour guide. I reconmmend you ask for him too!! This is an experience we will never forget. One that all visitors to Maui should do!

【冬季限定!1/3~3/21】ホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号 1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船!軽食&ドリンク付き<ワイキキ送迎可>

I encountered whales and dolphins! クジラ&イルカに出会えました!

Reviewed by: YUKO

On February 4, 2011, I participated in a whale watching tour with a friend and my friend's mother, making it three of us.

I had joined a dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu last summer, so this was my second time on this ship.

Since the season and time of day were different from my last visit, I was deeply moved by the view of Waikiki and the lush Diamond Head from the sea.

Even when I thought I could enjoy this scenery without seeing any whales, a whale appeared, and I was further touched to see dolphins swimming alongside the whale, playing together.

I would love to book a tour with Alan1 again.

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

2011年2月4日に友人と友人のお母さまと私という3人でホエールウォッチングに参加しました。

私は昨年の夏、スターオブ・ホノルル号でディナークルーズに参加したので、この船は2回目の乗船でした。

前回とは季節も時間帯が違うので、海からのワイキキや緑の多いダイヤモドヘッドの眺めに大変感動しました。

クジラが見えなくてもこの景色で十分楽しめたなぁと思っていたら、クジラが現れ、さらにイルカもクジラと遊ぶように一緒に泳ぐ姿が見られて心から感動し、癒されました。

またalan1でツアーを予約したいなぁと思いました。

良い思い出をありがとうございました!
