I was able to see sharks swimming slowly around the cage I was in. It was my first experience, and I had a lot of fun. I was worried about getting seasick, but thanks to the motion sickness medication I took, it wasn't a problem at all.

自分が入っているゲージの周りをゆっくり泳ぐサメを見ることが出来ました。初めての体験でとても楽しかったです。心配していた船酔いは、酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげもあって問題なかったです。

I chose a plan without transportation, and I think that was a good decision. With transportation included, I wouldn't be able to go and return at my own timing, so I can make time to go somewhere else right after the tour ends. Since everything—clothes and face—gets covered in dust, I think having a change of clothes would be a good idea.

送迎なしのプランにしたが、それで良かったと思っている。
送迎付きだと自分のタイミングで行ったり、帰ったりできないので、ツアー終了後すぐに別のところに行く時間が作れる。
服、顔全てが砂埃まみれになるので着替えがあるといいと思う。

I participated in a tour from Waikiki by bus for the first time in Hawaii. It was early in the morning, and it took about an hour to reach the beach where we could see dolphins. Fortunately, I was able to swim with the dolphins and even see whales! As an older guy, I was truly moved by the experience.

The guides were all professionals and very friendly. For me and the other Japanese participants who struggled with English, Minako, who could speak Japanese, and Yuya, who handled the photography, were very attentive and humorous in their assistance. Thank you for your hard work from the preparations to after we set sail.

It was a very satisfying tour!

初めてのハワイでワイキキからバスでツアーに参加しました。朝早く、イルカが見れる海岸まで移動距離も1時間ほどかかりました。が運良くイルカと泳げてクジラまで見れました！良い歳のおっさんですが感動しました。
ガイドさんは皆プロフェッショナルで気さくでした。英語が拙い私や他の日本人へ、日本語ができるガイドのミナコさんや撮影のゆうやさんが懇切丁寧に、ユーモア交えて対応頂きました。準備から出航後もハードワークでお疲れ様でした。
大変満足なツアーでした！

The parasailing at a height of 150 cm was incredibly fun. The local staff were also unique in their approach, making the experience very enjoyable and friendly.

高さ150cmのパラセイリングがめちゃくちゃ楽しかった。現地スタッフの対応もユニークもあり、とても楽しく親切だった。

I watched from the front row. I participated last year as well, and the powerful show was amazing no matter how many times I see it. Since I was able to see it up close, I could also see the expressions on their faces, which was very nice.

最前列の席で観覧しました。昨年も参加しましたが、迫力のあるショーは何度見ても最高でした。
近くで観ることが出来たので、お顔の様子も観ることができて、とても良かったです。

It was an amazing tour! We were able to see a large group of dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! Everything went very smoothly, and the staff member Minako said, "It's rare to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles so smoothly!" so this tour was a great success! At first, I was worried about whether we would see them, but within 30 minutes of departure, we encountered dolphins, which was fantastic!

Minako, Travis, Laura, Gaylen, Yuya, and Tim were all excellent staff, and we had a great time until the end!

とても素晴らしいツアーでした！イルカの大群、クジラ、ウミガメを見れる事ができました！とてもスムーズに進んでスタッフのMINAKOさんも｢こんなにスムーズでイルカ、クジラ、ウミガメ見れるなんて中々無いですよ！｣と言われてたので、今回のツアーは大成功でした！最初は会えるか不安でしたが、船が出発して30分しない内にイルカに遭遇したので最高でした！
MINAKO TRAVIS LAURA GAYLEN YUYA TIM
皆最高のスタッフで最後まで楽しく過ごせました！

We were the only Japanese guests on the tour, so our Japanese guide, Ken, stayed with us and taught us a lot about how to find dolphins and whales, the names of the fish we saw while snorkeling, and interesting facts about Hawaii. It was a really enjoyable tour!

Since we participated right after the New Year, I was hoping to see some whales, and we encountered nearly ten of them! I will never forget the excitement of seeing a whale right in front of the boat. Everyone, including the other guests and the captain, was thrilled!

We joined the tour the day before returning to Japan, and it became the perfect memory to wrap up our trip to Hawaii. Ken and everyone else were very kind and wonderful, so I definitely want to join other tours as well.

日本人客はツアーの中で我々だけだったので、日本語ガイドのKENさんが私たちについてくださり、イルカやクジラの探し方やシュノーケルで見えた魚の名前、ハワイの豆知識などたくさんのことを教えてくれて、とても楽しいツアーでした！
年明けに参加したのでクジラが見れたらいいなあと思っていたのですが、10頭近くのクジラに遭遇できました！
中でも船の目の前でクジラに遭遇した感動は忘れません。他のお客さんもキャプテンもみんな大興奮！！
日本の帰国前日に参加したのですが、ハワイ旅を締めくくる最高の思い出ができました！
KENさんはじめ皆さんとても優しく良い方ばかりでしたので、また他のツアーにも是非参加したいです。

My daughter and I went on this trip and it was fantastic. I let her drive most of the time and we were directly behind the guide so it was great. Speaking of the guides, amazing dudes, not only for the trip and the assistance, but also for what they taught us about Maui and the restoration of the forest preserve. On every trip they plant a tree to try to bring back the rainforest and of course, Bella volunteered to plant it😎Highly recommend!!!

I have participated in dolphin watching in other countries, but this time swimming with them was a truly precious experience. The dolphins, over 100 of them and about 2 meters long, were really adorable.

We moved to a shallow area where we enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as a slide. The weather was great, and I was very satisfied!

Thank you to the crew, Japanese guide Minako, photographer Yuya, and others—Stef, Tim, Travis, Laura, and Gaylan—for a fun day!

イルカウォッチングは他国でも参加したことはありましたが、今回一緒に泳げたことは大変貴重な時間になりました。
100頭以上の体長2ｍほどのイルカたちは本当に可愛かったです。

場所を浅瀬に移動してシュノーケリングとSAP、滑り台も楽しめました。
気候も良く大変満足しました！

クルーの日本人ガイドのMINAKO、カメラマンのYUYA、その他STEF、TIM、TRAVIS、LAURA、GAYLAN楽しい一日をありがとうございました。

I was really looking forward to it because there was a guarantee that we would definitely see whales, but we hardly saw any. There were announcements that the tail had come up to the surface two or three times, but by the time we went to look, they had already disappeared. I didn't get to see the whales' large forms at all. I came all the way here in winter for this, so I was a bit disappointed.

必ずホエールが見れる保証がついてるのですごく期待していましたが、ほとんど見れませんでした。
2、3回尾鰭が水面に出たと放送があって見に行ったらすでに消えました。
全然ホイホイ大きな姿が見れることがありませんでした。
せっかくこれのために冬に来たのですが少しがっかりしました。

I went with my grandchild. The weather wasn't great, and the sea in January was cold. There was some rocking, and just when my first grader started to feel a little seasick, we spotted a whale, which was incredibly exciting!

The staff had a wonderful atmosphere. I only had a card with me, but I ordered juice anyway... However, they responded with such kindness and excellent service that I want to give back next time.

孫と2人で乗りました。天気がイマイチで1月の海は寒かったです。揺れもあり小1の孫が少し酔い出した頃にくじらが見えて大感動！

スタッフの人の雰囲気がすごく良かった。
カードしか持っていなかったのに、
ジュース頼んじゃって…でもきちんと優しい素晴らしい対応してくれたから、次はお返しがしたいくらいです。

I applied with my husband and grandchild. The pickup was about 10 minutes late. I was moved by the wonderful experience and returned home feeling touched. January is the rainy season, and it rained a lot, but it seems we were able to see the sunrise, which was great! It was a bit pricey, but the transportation service was the right choice. 👍

主人と孫と申し込み。ピックアップは10分ほど遅れました。
良い体験ができたと感動して帰ってしました。
1月は雨季で雨ばかりだったけど日の出も見れたらしく良かった!
少し割高になるけど、送迎で正解👍

I took my grandchild to Hawaii, and it was our first visit! It surprisingly took less than an hour and a half from Waikiki. My first grader was amazed to experience the cultures of various countries. It was a fantastic experience for both of us adults and the child! The evening show was quite impressive. I would recommend it to everyone going to Oahu. Mahalo!

孫1人を連れてハワイに行くので
初めて訪れました！ワイキキから意外と1時間半弱。いろんな国の文化に触れて小1の孫は目を輝かせていました。すごい良い体験できたし、大人の私たちも素晴らしい経験ができました！
夜のショーはなかなか圧巻。オアフに行く人にはみんなに勧めたいです。マハロ

Only way to enter in the valley, it was great! Tour guide was really friendly and took lots of photos of us

I had made a reservation for two people, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I participated alone. I was nervous, but the captain and the staff were very kind, and I had a great time even by myself!

It was such a valuable experience to see sea turtles up close like that! There was also a staff member who provided Japanese interpretation, which made me feel very at ease! Everyone was kind, and it was a lot of fun!

2名で予約していましたが
急遽1名での、参加で緊張しましたが
キャプテンとスタッフさんが良くしていただか、一人でもとっても楽しめました！！

あんなにも、近くで海かめを見ることができるなんてとても貴重な経験ができました！
日本語通訳してくださるスタッフさんも、いてとても安心です！
みなさま優しくたのしかったです！

I was moved by the fire dance! At the end, we were able to take photos, which became a nice memory. Since it's at the Hawaiian Center, the location is great, and I highly recommend it!

ファイヤーダンスに感動でした！
最後に写真撮影などもできて、記念になりました。ハワイアンセンターなので、立地もよく、オススメです！

I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.

- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).

最高の一言に尽きると思います。今回私はハワイ島→マウイ島→オアフ島の3か所で複数アクティビティを体験しましたが、間違いなく1番楽しかったのがこのツアーでした。

・シュノーケルとスヌーバの両方を体験可能なプランにしました。船内には20人程度の参加者がいましたが、8割程度がこのプランでした。モロキニ島水域の透明度は素晴らしく、シュノーケリングで終わらせるのはもったいないと思います
・スヌーバは事前の説明さえちゃんと聞いていれば誰でも出来ると思います
・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです
・英語ガイドさんなので、英語がからっきしの方は難しいかも知れません
・ウェットスーツ貸し出しは10USDです。また、タートルタウンでのシュノーケリング・スヌーバは追加で50USD払う必要があります。いずれも船を降りた後に現金で支払いでした（支払う価値ありです）

The prologue was cool, and both the music and performances were really good; time seemed to fly by. Even though everything was in English, I could understand the atmosphere, and I was happy that the cast members smiled as they walked past the seats, showing consideration for the audience. ♪

プロローグからカッコよく、音楽も演技もとても良くて、時間はとても早く過ぎた感じでした。
全部英語ではあったけれど、雰囲気でわかるし、団員さん達が席の横を通って行く時にもニッコリしていってくれて、観客に気配りしてくれているのが嬉しかったです♪

Really great day trip. Super convenient and comfortable ferry ride to Lanai. Our rental car canceled our Jeep at the last minute, claiming they did not have one, even though we paid in full months in advance, but a second company, “cheap jeeps “, came to our rescue, saying that they had to do the same thing for other people. Lots of fun for a day trip from Maui.

We are so glad we started our vacation with a traditional lei greeting! The girls loved it, and grandma did too!! Dan was amazing to work with and so understanding when our flight was delayed and reassured us that he would be there to greet us. He was and it was so worth it to see everyone’s smile!! Would highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much!!!

I heard that there is the longest zip line on Oahu, so I participated with my son, who loves zip lining. It seems to be quite popular, and we couldn't get a reservation for the time we initially requested, so we ended up joining the tour first thing in the morning.

When we left Waikiki in the morning, it wasn't raining, but by the time we arrived at our destination, it was pouring. We did the zip line in that downpour, which was more than just a natural shower, but I think in Japan, they would have canceled the activity due to the weather, so in a way, it was a good experience. I thought it would have been amazing if the weather had been nice. Also, according to our guide, it tends to rain a lot during this season, so I think having something like a mountain parka would provide peace of mind.

オアフ島で1番長いジップラインがあると聞いて、ジップラインが大好きな息子と参加させて頂きました。人気が高い様で、最初お願いした時間では予約が取れず、結局、朝一番でのツアー参加になりました。
朝ワイキキを出る際には雨は降っていませんでしたが、目的地に着く頃には土砂降りでした。その中でジップラインをしましたが、天然のシャワーどころではありませんでしたが、日本だったら中止の天候だったと思いますので、ある意味良い経験が出来たと思います。天気が良かったら最高だったろうな…と思いました。また、ガイドの話ではこの時期は雨が多いそうですので、マウンテンパーカーの様な物があると安心だと思います。

I enjoyed cruising the waters of Hawaii. I thought I might be lucky enough to see something, but unfortunately, I didn't.

もあこんなもの。
ハワイの海のクルージングを楽しんできました。
運が良ければ見れると思っていたけどやっぱり見れないと残念。

We participated in a tour that included a shuttle service to Hanauma Bay and a snorkeling set, with three people including a 12-year-old child. The pickup time was early in the morning. It was still dark outside, and I was worried about being out so early, but shortly after arriving, dawn broke. We were able to see a wonderful sunrise, which was the perfect start to the day.

Snorkeling was first thing in the morning, and there were plenty of fish. Although there were times during the day when it was cloudy, it didn't matter, and we still had a great time seeing lots of fish.

On this day, there were no other Japanese participants in the tour besides us. However, that wasn't an issue at all.

Additionally, we could borrow life jackets on the spot by asking the tour staff. Please note that these are cash only.

We considered renting a car to get there, but I think it was better to avoid the hassle of reservations and enjoy the convenience.

I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.

ハナウマベイシャトルサービスシュノーケルセットのツアーに、12歳の子供を含む３人で参加。
ピックアップの時間は早朝。
まだ外は暗く、こんなに朝早く？と心配になりましたが、到着して間もなく夜明け。素晴らしい朝焼けを見る事ができて、最高の一日のスタートでした。

シュノーケリングも朝イチで、魚が沢山いました。日中曇りになる時間も有りましたが、
それでも問題なく、沢山のお魚を見ることができて楽しかったです。

ツアーは、この日は、日本人は私達以外いませんでした。だからといって問題はないです。

また、ライフジャケットも、ツアーの方に言えばその場で借りる事ができました。
これらは、現金のみになります。

レンタカーを借りて行く事も考えましたが、
便利さと、予約などの手間が省けてよかったと思ってます。

また、参加したいツアーです。

Only two people were able to drive the buggy, but we had a lot of fun driving through various routes! It was exciting to see the locations where Jurassic Park was filmed.

バギーの運転は2名しかできませんでしたが、いろいろなルートを走りとても楽しかったです！
ジュラシックパークの撮影地でもあるところを見ることができワクワクしました。

I saw Cirque du Soleil for the first time.
All the performances were moving.
They were powerful, and I was able to watch with excitement and anticipation!
I definitely want to see it again!

初めてシルクドゥソレイユをみました。
全てのパフォーマンスが感動しました。
迫力があり、ワクワク、ドキドキしながら見ることができました！
また絶対に見たいです！

We participated as a family. Since my family isn't very good at English, we were a bit anxious about going out to sea, but my fourth-grade son had a blast and we were able to create wonderful memories. There were staff members who spoke Japanese perfectly, which made us feel at ease. It has become a place we want to visit again. Thank you!

家族で参加しました
英語が得意ではない家族だったので、海に出る事が少し不安でしたが、
小学4年生の息子も思いっきり楽しめて、最高の思い出が作れました。
日本語バッチリのスタッフさんもいて安心できました。
また訪れたい場所になりました。
アリガト〜

There is an observatory. The starry sky is very beautiful. I do not recommend driving there by yourself. The return trip is dark and the roads are bad.

天文台があります。星空か、とても綺麗です。自分で運転して見に行くのは、おすすめ出来ません。帰りは、暗く道も悪いです。

10/10 highly recommend this tour! Best bang for your buck. Great staff and accommodations! Loved all the food and beverages as well as getting to know the captain and his crew. The snorkel gear and wetsuits were top notch, too. We will definitely do this again next time we visit.

I went in December. It was a bit cold, but on sunny days, it was the best! Since it was far from Honolulu, I was unsure whether to use a shuttle bus or a taxi. I decided to take an Uber taxi. It took about 30 minutes from Honolulu.

When we arrived about 20 minutes before the park opened, the gates had English signs, so I was anxious because I didn't know where to line up for the ticket reservation. Then, a Japanese staff member came out and handed us the tickets based on our reservation name. They kindly explained everything I didn't understand, which made me feel relieved. Since it was December, there weren't many lines in the park, and my 10-year-old son was able to enjoy almost everything.

The locker usage was quite complicated, and I had to ask the English-speaking staff multiple times using a translation app. Some slides had deep pools, and my son almost drowned, but there were staff members at each attraction who quickly handed him a float.

Since it was the off-peak season, some attractions were operating from the morning, while others started in the afternoon or were closed all day, so it was necessary to check. On the day we visited, the lazy river was out of service, which was disappointing since it was the attraction I was looking forward to the most.

We had lunch around 2 PM. The fries that came with the pizza set were really delicious. In the end, we played until closing time. I had also booked an Uber taxi for the return trip, but it seemed there was a lot of traffic, and we waited about 40 minutes longer than planned. The return trip took about an hour and a half due to the congestion. I was hesitant about going, but my child seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory.

12月に行きました。
少し寒さはありましたが、晴れてる日は最高です！
ホノルルから遠いので、送迎バスを使うかタクシーを使うか迷いました。
Uberタクシーで行きました。ホノルルから30分くらいでつきました。
開園20分前くらいに着くとゲートも英語表記なので、チケット予約の並びがどこかわからなくて、不安でした。
すると、日本人スタッフの方が出て来て予約の名前でチケットを先に渡してくださいました。
わからない事も丁寧に教えて頂き安心できました。12月なのもあり、園内はそこまで並ばなくても遊べて10歳息子もほぼ制覇できました。
ロッカーの使い方が難しいすぎて、何度も英語対応のスタッフさんに翻訳アプリで聞きました。
スライダーによって、プールが深い場所もあるので、息子が溺れてしまいましたが各アトラクションにスタッフさんが配置されてるのですぐに浮き輪を渡してもらいました。
閑散期だったので、アトラクションも朝から運転してるのもあれば、昼から運転していたり、終日運休しているのもあるので、確認が必要です。私たちの日は流れるプールが運休していて、1番楽しみにしていたのに残念でした。
　お昼は、14時くらいに食べました。
ピザセットのポテトがすごく美味しかったです。
結局、閉園時間まで遊びました。
帰りもUberタクシーを予約していましたが、かなり道が渋滞していたみたいで予定時間より40分くらい待ちました。
帰りは混み混みで1時間30分くらいかかりました。行くか迷いましたが子どもはすごく楽しかったみたいで、いい思い出になりました。

This was my first time participating in a whale watching tour. I requested a hotel pickup, and the pickup location was at the Hyatt at 7:25 AM. We arrived at 7:10 AM. There were various tour buses coming and going, and starting around 7:20 AM, I began asking the drivers of the arriving buses if they were the one we were supposed to take.

The bus finally arrived at 7:35 AM, and I felt relieved. I informed an elderly couple who were also participating and we boarded the bus. However, we didn’t leave right away; it seemed the staff were waiting for other participants who hadn’t arrived yet. The missing participant showed up at 7:45 AM, and we finally departed. However, at two more pickup locations, we waited for additional participants, and we arrived at the port at 8:50 AM. I was impressed by the staff's dedication in waiting for everyone.

After that, we boarded the boat, but it seemed we were the last ones from the bus, as the other participants had already finished their snacks. I looked for an available seat and took a moment to relax, but I didn’t know where the snack area was. I then noticed that others from our bus had snacks, which helped me find out where the snack area was.

The staff at the snack area were very polite, and when I later asked about the restroom, they kindly explained in English so I could understand. We set sail shortly after, and the other participants began heading to the deck, so I hurried to grab a snack and followed them.

Once on the deck, I was amazed by the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the vastness of the ocean. Just that alone made me feel glad I participated. Thanks to the hard work of the captain and crew, we were able to see whales a few times, even from a distance. I would definitely like to do this again.

今回初めてホエールウォッチしたに参加しました
ホテル送迎でお願いして、ピックアップ場所はハイヤットで7:25でした、私達は7:10に到着しました
そこは様々なツアーバスが入れ替わり立ち替わり来ていて、7:20頃から到着したツアーバスの方に当該バスかを尋ねて行きました
7:35に当該バスが到着して、ほっとして、同じく参加される年配ご夫婦にも伝えてバスに乗り込みました、その後直ぐ出発しなくて、どうやらまだ来てないツアー参加者をスタッフが待っているようでした、7:45にその方が来て漸く出発しました、しかしその後の2か所のピックアップ場所で、来ない参加者を待ち、港に到着したのは8:50でした、スタッフの方の懸命に待つ姿に感銘しました
その後、船に乗船しましたが私達バス参加者が最後のようで、他の参加者は軽食を食べ終わっていました、空いている座る場所を探して、一息ついて軽食の場所が分からず、一緒のバス参加されるが軽食持っている事に気づいて、軽食の場所がわかりました
軽食場所のスタッフは丁寧に対応して下さり、その後にトイレの場所を聞いた時も丁寧に分かるように英語で説明して下さりました
その後直ぐ出航したので、他の参加者は、船のデッキへ向かい始めたので、急いで軽食頂いて後に続きました
デッキに上がるとワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドや海の雄大さに感激しました
これだけでも参加して良かったと思いました
船長始め乗組員達の懸命な働きにより数度遠いながら鯨を見る事が出来ました
またリベンジしたいと思います
