The reception started at 8:00, boarding was from 8:45, and the schedule for departure was set, but the reception was quite relaxed, so arriving around 8:30 is safe. Just showing the reservation confirmation email was enough.

The cabin was quite spacious. Seats near the windows are popular, so if you prefer a window seat, it's best to line up early for boarding. The pineapple banana bread that came with the service was really delicious, and I had a second helping. Coffee, tea, and water were also available for free.

As for the whales, I was able to see them more times than I expected! However, they appeared small and far away (due to a Hawaiian treaty that prohibits getting too close to marine life. It's okay if the whales come close to you, and if you're lucky, you might see them up close). So, it's important to listen carefully to the captain's announcements like "You can see a whale in the direction of 〇〇 o'clock."

The captain also announced when sea turtles were swimming by, but I couldn't spot them.

The ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was able to make good use of the morning time, which was very nice.

8:00受付開始、8:45〜乗船、出航のスケジュールでしたが、受付はかなりゆるいので、8:30くらいに間に合うように行けば安心です。予約完了メールを見せるだけでOKでした。

客室内はかなり広いです。窓付近の席は人気なので、窓側がいい方は早めに並んで乗船した方が◎。サービスでついてくるパイナップルバナナブレッドがかなりおいしく、おかわりしました。コーヒー、紅茶、お水もフリーで飲むことができました。

肝心のホエールですが、思っていたより何度か見れました！ただ、船から遠いところで小さめに見えた（ハワイの条約で海の生物に近寄ってはいけないそうです。クジラなどから近寄ってくれるのはOKで、運が良ければすごく近くでみれるかも？）ので、「◯時の方向にクジラが見えます」など、キャプテンのアナウンスをしっかり聞いて見る必要があります。

ウミガメも泳いでいると度々キャプテンがアナウンスしていましたが、私はどこにいるか確認できず見れませんでした。

海がとにかく綺麗でした。朝の時間が有効活用できたのでとてもよかったです。

The experience of viewing Waikiki and Diamond Head from above was truly luxurious. The time spent in the air was enjoyable and passed quickly, but strangely, it felt satisfying enough that it didn't seem short! You can fly with your smartphone or GoPro at your own risk. While waiting for others to fly, you can enjoy the view of Waikiki and the ocean from the boat, and the captain keeps things lively in English, so I was never bored at all.

ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドを上空から眺める体験はとても贅沢でした。
上空での時間は楽しくてあっという間ですが、不思議と短く感じないほどに満足感があります！
自己責任で、スマホやgo proなど持ってから飛ぶことができます。
他の人たちが飛んでいる間の待ち時間も、船からワイキキや海を眺めていられるし、キャプテンが英語で盛り上げてくれるので、全く退屈しませんでした。

A new night experience in Hawaii!
I finally got to see the Cirque du Soleil's "O" show (*´艸｀*)
It was absolutely amazing!!
If you print out the special voucher from Japan, it has a QR code that the staff scans, making the process smooth☆
(On the day of the show, there were staff members who spoke Japanese! The drink cups sold at the counter near the entrance that were recommended to me looked cool! There were also soft drinks available☆)
The content was packed and truly wonderful!
Next time I come to Hawaii with my friends, I want to take everyone with me (･ω･)b

新しいハワイでの夜のお楽しみ！
行ってみたかったシルク・ド・ソレイユのアウアナショー(*´艸｀*)
最高に良かったです！！
専用のバウチャーを日本からプリントアウトしていけばそこにQRコードが付いており、それをスタッフの方が読み込んでくれるのでスムーズでした☆
（当日は日本語を話せるスタッフの方もいらっしゃいました！おすすめしていただいた入り口付近のカウンターで売っているドリンクのカップ、カッコよかったです！ソフトドリンクもありました☆）
内容も盛りだくさんで本当素晴らしかったです！
また次回仲間とハワイへ来る際は皆を連れて行きたいなと思いました(･ω･)b

We applied as a family of six. My grandparents had some concerns about their legs, but we were able to observe the whales beautifully from the third floor of the four-story building!

家族6人で申し込みました。
祖父母は足に不安がありましたが、4階建ての3階でも十分綺麗に鯨を観察することができました！

It was a wonderful experience to see such magnificent scenery, which you can't find in Japan, from horseback! Since I don't usually exercise, I was worried that two hours might be too long and that my legs would hurt and affect my plans afterward. However, thanks to the stunning views, the well-behaved horses, and the kind instructor, the two hours flew by. I also appreciated that on the day we participated, the pick-up plan included a Japanese staff member who summarized the check-in and explanation for us!

日本では見られないような壮大な景色を、馬上から見るという素晴らしい体験でした！
普段運動をしていないため、2時間は長いかな？足腰が痛くその後の予定に響くかな？と心配していましたが、素晴らしい景色とお利口なお馬さん、優しいインストラクターさんのおかげで、あっという間の2時間でした。
私たちが参加した日の送迎付きプランでは、チェックインと説明を日本語係員の方がまとめてしてくれたのも有り難かったです！

The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, and I had a great time! During the banana boat ride, I was able to encounter a group of sea turtles, making it a very satisfying tour!

スタッフの皆さんとても気さくで話しやすく、楽しい時間が過ごせました！
バナナボート中、海亀の群れと遭遇することができ大満足のツアーとなりました！

Even though it rained & the sun barely came out. We still had a great time. I especially had a great time being in the water with all the activities were provided. Shout out to the team. They were amazing and fun group to be with. Highly recommended but def much better if it was warmer.

This kayaking and hiking adventure was so awesome! I was worried the kayaking and hike might be difficult but it was perfect! I’ve never been kayaking before and this was a great intro for me! The hike was absolutely beautiful as well and mostly on a board walk which is nice so you’re not having to climb through or slip in the mud. The waterfall was a tad dried up but still so
beautiful and fun to swim to. Our guide Jeff was awesome as well. Very kind and friendly and knowledgeable about Kauai. I would HIGHLY recommend the is excursion and would love to do it again!

This outing was not what I expected. Given the description of "turtle canyon" I assumed we were going to some rather exotic location to swim and snorkel with the sea turtles. As it turns out, its just about a mile off of Waikiki Beach and it was full of boats with other snorkelers making it quite a crowded experience. Although we did see two turtles (or maybe the same turtle twice), it certainly wasn't the grand adventure it was made out to be. The water was quite murky and the coral was anything but pretty. And on top of all that, we could have booked directly with the tour company for 25% less. That was disappointing.

I will say the crew was very pleasant and the sail after was good.

When I went up to the rooftop, there was a slight sway, but I didn't feel nauseous at all! There were quite a few whales out, and it was amazing! I definitely want to go see them again!

屋上まで行くと少し揺れがありましたが、特に酔いなどはありませんでした!
クジラも結構多く出てきてくれて、最高でした！
ぜひまた見に行きたいです！

I saw whales!
The weather was great, it was the best!!
I was worried I might get seasick, but I was fine.

I definitely want to go see them again!

ホエール見れた〜
天候にも恵まれ、最高でした！！
船酔いするかもと心配したけど、大丈夫でしたー

また、是非見に行きたいです

I chose a tour with transportation included. Everyone around spoke English, but it was manageable. When we arrived, there was a Japanese guide who explained the flow of the tour to some extent. The tour itself was in English, but the video explaining how to ride and safety precautions was in Japanese. It was fun to drive through nature and see a bit of the movie set! I got quite tired. There seems to be another tour that focuses solely on the movie set, which allows for more in-depth viewing and photo opportunities. My tour only passed by the set, but even just catching a glimpse was nice! Those driving the buggies might find it hard to see the scenery?! It seemed that long pants were required for the buggies, but I forgot to wear them on the day... However, many people from countries other than Japan were wearing shorts. Japanese people are serious. Haha. But, since I ended up covered in sand and dust, those who don't want to get dirty might want to cover up. They lend you helmets and goggles, but those goggles felt unreliable. People with hard contact lenses might struggle.

送迎ありツアーにしました。周りは英語だけど、なんとかなります。着いたら日本人のガイドがいてある程度流れを説明してくれます。ツアー自体は英語なのですが乗り方や注意事項の説明のビデオは日本語でした。自然のなかを走ったり少しだけ映画の跡地をみたり、楽しかったです！結構疲れました。他に映画の跡地だけを巡るツアーもあるようでそれはもっとじっくり見たり写真を撮ったりしてました。私のツアーは軽く横を通ったりするぐらいでしたがちらっと見れただけでもよかった！バギー運転してる人は景色見づらいかも？！バギーは長ズボン必須だったようですが当日着ていくのを忘れました、、。ですが日本人以外の国の人は半ズボン多かったです。日本人真面目。笑　だけど、、結構全身砂ホコリまみれになったのであまり汚れたくない人はカバーした方がいいかも。ヘルメットとゴーグルも貸してくれますがそのゴーグルが心許ない。ハードコンタクトの人は死にます。

It was my first time on a helicopter, and it was exciting. The pilot provided explanations in Japanese, which was helpful. Well, since it was volcanic activity, it couldn't be helped, but I didn't get to see the red lava of Kilauea. Also, it wasn't a landing tour to the waterfall, but I was hoping to see it, so I was a bit disappointed.

ヘリコプターの初搭乗なこともありますが、エキサイティングでした。パイロットさんが日本語でも解説してくれたので、助かりました。まあ、火山活動なので仕方ないですが、キラウエアの赤い溶岩は見られませんでした。あと、滝への着陸ツアーではありませんが、見られると思っていたので少し残念です。

The explanations are in English, so it's tough with limited language skills, but I managed somehow (^ - ^)
Anyway, the dolphins are adorable!
Playing, swimming, and feeding them was a valuable experience.

説明は英語なので、半端な語力では辛いけど、まあ、なんとかなります(^-^)
とにかく、イルカはかわいいです！
一緒に遊び、泳ぎ、エサやり。貴重な体験でした。

It's very enjoyable to interact with the animals. It was my first time at an outdoor aquarium, but it's quite small, and you can finish walking through it in just 15 minutes. I'm surprised given the price.

動物達と触れ合えるのはとても楽しいです、
室外の水族館は初めてでした、
ただ、とても小規模で15分も歩けば終わってしまいます。
値段の割にびっくりです

I made a reservation online in advance and participated with my family of four (my wife, our daughter and son who are both over 20). Before it started, I was a bit anxious about how high we would go, but once we began, everyone in the family was super excited! I'm glad we participated!

This photo was taken from the air during the parasailing experience. It was quite a height, but it was an "incredibly enjoyable" experience.

I was unsure about which activity to choose on Oahu, but opting for this parasailing was the right decision. The crew members made jokes and kept us entertained, so we never got bored. Additionally, the crew member took photos for us, and I decided to purchase them on the spot (cash for $40).

I highly recommend that you experience this at least once!

事前にネット予約して家族４人（妻と私と２０歳過ぎの娘と息子）で参加。どのくらいの高さまで行くのか、始まる前は少し不安でしたが、やってみたら家族全員、大興奮！参加して良かったです！
こちらの写真はパラセイル体験中に空中から撮影したものです。結構な高さではありますが、「超気持ちいい～～」体験でした。
オアフ島でのアクティビティを何にするのか迷いましたが、こちらのパラセイルにして正解でした。
搭乗員の方も冗談を言いながら、お客様の相手になってくれるので、飽きることもありません。また、その搭乗員の方が写真を撮ってくれるのですが、即決で購入（Cashで$40）しました。
是非一度はご体験ください！

Fabulous guides! A lovely informative bunch of girls.
The only place you can do solo ATV's now on Oahu!
A lot of fun!

In conclusion, it was amazing.
This is a show that I absolutely want everyone to attend.
I have traveled to Hawaii many times and participated in various activities, but this became the best memory of all.
With laughter, emotion, and surprises on stage, I brought my 2-year-old child, and they enjoyed it and were able to focus on watching.

There is also a bar where you can purchase popcorn, drinks, and alcohol, so being able to enjoy light snacks while watching the show was great too!

結論、最高でした。
皆さんに絶対参加していただきたいショーです。
ハワイ旅行は何度もいっており、いろいろなアクティビティにも参加してきましたが、どのアクティビティよりもいい思い出になりました。
笑いあり、感動あり、驚きありのステージで、2歳の子どもを連れて行きましたが、とても楽しんで集中して観覧できていました。

ポップコーンやドリンク、お酒の購入ができるバーもあるので、軽いスナックを楽しみながらショーを見ることができるのも良かったです◎

I participated with my children. When we boarded the boat, they gave the kids a realistic whale coloring book, which kept them entertained until we arrived at the point (colored pencils were provided). As for the whale watching, we were able to see whales multiple times, and it was an exciting experience for the kids.

子連れで参加しました。船に乗ると子供にリアルなクジラの塗り絵をプレゼントしてくれてポイントまで飽きずに到着（色鉛筆は貸し出し）。そして、肝心のホエールウォッチは何度も何度も鯨を見ることができて子供達も大興奮の体験でした。

I wish I had done this tour earlier into my trip. We got to see the entire island. It was clear that our guide, Kevin was passionate and knowledgeable on the island's history and culture. Our group made a few stops additional to the two main activities. It was well worth the cost. As a solo traveller I had an amazing time on this excursion!

We met the bus at 5 AM and we’re first on the walking hike! Got to the top with plenty of time and unbelievable photos to share.

Yoshi was absolutely amazing! From the prompt pick up, the hospitality (tea, snacks) and the amazing knowledge, this is a tour I will always remember. Words can’t express how awesome being at that height and seeing the stars as you stand above the clouds was. Yoshi knew and shared so much and even had coats and gloves for us all as it does get cold at that height. He even showed us how to adjust the settings on our phones to timelapse and take great pictures. 1000% recommend Yoshi and this tour if you want to experience something breathtaking.

Absolutely fabulous!
Dancers were amazing. Musicians and singers . Loved it all!

I used this service for my return trip. They arrived on time, confirmed my name, and I felt reassured. I was picked up about three and a half hours before my flight, which allowed me to relax at the airport.

One thing to be careful about is that for those using Hawaiian Airlines, the departure gate is at Terminal 1, but the check-in counter for Japanese Hawaiian Airlines passengers is only at Terminal 2. I mistakenly got dropped off at Terminal 1 and was told to go to Terminal 2 when it was time to check in, which caused a bit of a panic as I had to rush over (it's about a 5-minute walk between T1 and T2, so it's not a big issue if you make a mistake). If you haven't checked in yet, please make sure to go to Terminal 2 first.

帰路に利用。時間通りに来てくれて名前を確認して乗車するので安心できます。
3時間半くらい前にピックアップされるので空港でゆっくり出来ます。
気をつけていただきたいのが、ハワイアン航空を利用する方は出発ゲートはターミナル1なのですが、日本人のハワイアン航空利用者のチェックインカウンターはターミナル2にしかありません。
間違えてターミナル1で降ろされてチェックインに並んでいざという時に日本人はターミナル2と伝えられて慌てて移動しました（T1とT2は徒歩5分ほどなので間違えても問題ないです。）
チェックインがまだの方は是非ターミナル2にまず行ってください。

A two-hour horseback riding experience. After arriving at Kualoa, a Japanese speaker will provide an explanation. The riding will be conducted in English. You can check your luggage, but you can take your smartphone and water bottle with you. Only photos are allowed; videos are not permitted. You need to take photos with one hand. The horses are smart and will move in sync with the horse in front of them. This is an experience you should definitely try when you come to Hawaii.

2時間ほどの乗馬体験。クアロア到着後日本語の方あらご説明していただけます。
乗馬中は英語で行われます。荷物は預けますが、スマホと水筒は持って行けます。
写真のみで動画はダメです。写真は片手でとる必要があります。
馬ちゃんは賢いので前の馬に合わせて動いてくれます。
ハワイに来たらぜひ体験して欲しい。

My two children, an elementary school student and a high school student, said this was the most fun trip they've ever had. You can buy data with an SD card, so it might not be necessary to bring a smartphone. Cash is a must since you'll need to give a tip at the end.

小学生、高校生の子供2人が今回の旅行で一番楽しかったと言ってくれました。
SDカードでデータを買えるのでスマホは持参しなくても良いかも？終了時にチップを渡すのでCASHはマストです。

We are a couple aged 65 and 64. We came to Hawaii for a vacation after retirement. My wife, who has a fear of heights, was reluctant, but we decided to participate as a memorable experience. At first, she was very scared, but as she got used to it, she was able to look down and enjoy the amazing views. The staff was polite and provided good instruction with a sense of humor, and I think the pilot was skilled as well. It was fantastic.

65歳と64歳の夫婦です。
定年退職で有給休暇のためハワイに来ました。高所恐怖症の妻は嫌がったのですが、記念にと思い参加しました。最初は怖い怖いと言っていた妻も慣れると下も見れるようになり最高な景色を眺められました。スタッフも丁寧に教えてくれてユーモアもあり、操縦士の人もうまかったと思います。
最高でした。

The staff was so friendly and entertaining and it was a comfy ride, the food and drinks were great!

We will visit various filming locations, but all while riding in a jeep. They stop briefly to give us time to take photos and videos. We get off once for a short hike of about three minutes to reach a viewpoint! From there, we can overlook two valleys, and the view was absolutely stunning!

ロケ地もちょこちょこっと回りますが、どれもジープに乗車しながらの鑑賞です。写真や動画を撮れるよう、少し停めて時間をくれます。一度下車するのは、3分ほどのハイキングで辿り着ける高台のようなところ！２つの谷を見下ろすことができ、これが絶景でした！
