As soon as we left the port, without even having time to prepare, we encountered a pod of dolphins! After diving in and enjoying that, we also saw sea turtles and stingrays. I never expected to see a whale before heading back after playing on the SUP. When it was really time to go back, I realized that my digital camera, which the captain had around his neck, was missing... Even though I said, "It's okay," everyone helped look for it in the water. Within five minutes, Maiko found it, and everything was a surprise! Thank you, everyone.
港を出てすぐ、準備をする暇もなくイルカの群れがーっ!急いで飛び込み堪能したところでウミガメ、エイも登場。
SUPで遊んで帰港する前にクジラまで見られるなんて思いもしませんでした。
で、ホントに帰るとなった時にキャプテンが首からかけていた私のデジカメが無いことに気付いて…
「もういいよー」と言っているのに皆で海の中を探してくれました。

We went on our honeymoon. Swimming with dolphins requires a lot of stamina... I was able to see one dolphin swimming from a distance.
When viewing dolphins from the boat, it was so much fun to see them mating and to be able to watch many dolphins chasing the boat up close! Just this experience made it worth participating in the tour. I was also moved to see three sea turtles!! It was my first time snorkeling, and there were so many fish, plus we were able to take a lot of photos, which was great! I wish we could buy the photo data just for ourselves, even if it was a bit pricey. I don't need the ones with everyone in them... But it became the best memory!
新婚旅行で行きました。イルカと泳ぐのは体力が必要です・・・。泳いでいるイルカを遠目で1匹見れました。
船からイルカを見るときは、交尾とかみれたり、船おっかけてくるたくさんのイルカが凄く至近距離で見れたりとっても楽しかったです!!これだけでツアー参加して良かったです。ウミガメも3匹いて感動しました!!初のシュノーケリングでしたが魚もたくさんいて、写真も沢山撮ってもらえてよかったです!!写真データが、自分たちだけのでも、多少割高でいいので買えたらいいのになーって思いました。みんながうつってるやつはいらないです・・・。でも最高な思い出になりました。

There wasn't much explanation when we boarded, and it was a bit confusing, so I ended up sitting in a different area on another floor. After we set off for a while, we succeeded in seeing whales! We were able to see spouts and tails several times! There was an announcement about the direction, so I could quickly follow the whales with my eyes. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any jumps, and I wished we could have seen them a bit closer, but since they are wild animals, things don't always go as we hope. Still, I'm glad we got to see the whales!
乗船した時の説明があまりなかったのと分かりづらかったので違う階のスペースに座ってしまってました。出発してしばらく経つとクジラを見ることに成功!潮吹きや尾びれなど何回か見ることができました!何時の方向ってアナウンスがあるので、すぐにクジラを目で追うことが出来ました。残念ながらジャンプは見れませんでしたし、もう少し近くでも見れたらなぁと思いましたが自然や生き物ですから思う通りにはならないですよね。でもちゃんとクジラが見れて良かったです!

We participated as a family of four (all adults). Among the three staff members, the female staff member was fluent in Japanese, so we had no trouble understanding the explanations before snorkeling. The snorkeling lasted about 40 minutes. We were instructed to keep our bodies horizontal and look into the water, but it wasn't difficult to maintain that position since we had a foam-like stick to hold near our knees. The manta rays came close enough to touch. They are large and incredibly impressive! We were able to see at least five manta rays. The staff were very considerate, making our experience comfortable. Additionally, we received a tote bag with a manta ray design on our way back.
I was worried about seasickness, and while my wife experienced some mild symptoms, it wasn't serious, and it seemed that no other participants had issues with seasickness. However, I think it depends on the wave conditions of the day. Also, it might be wise to rent a wetsuit for an additional fee ($10 each).
家族4人で参加しました。(全員大人)
スタッフ3名のうち女性のスタッフの方は日本語が堪能なので、シュノーケリング前の説明等も問題なく理解できました。シュノーケリングは約40分間。
体を水平にして海中を覗き込むように言われましたが、発泡スチロールのような棒状のものを膝の辺りに当てるので体を水平に維持するのは疲れもせず難しくなかったです。
マンタは体に触れるくらいまで近くに来てくれます。
マンタは大きく凄い迫力です! 確認できただけでも5枚のマンタを見ることができました。
スタッフの皆さんもいろいろと気遣いしてくれて快適でした。
それと、帰りにマンタの絵が描かれたトートバッグをいただきました。
船酔いが心配でしたが、妻に少し船酔いの症状が出たものの大事には至らず、他の参加者にも船酔いした人はいなかったようです。ただ、船酔いに関してはその日の波の状況にもよると思います。
それと別料金(1着10㌦)になりますがウエットスーツは借りたほうが賢明ではないでしょうか。

It seems that there are days when you may not encounter whales. On this day, they were also slow to appear. At the crew's words that they were around here, the multinational members all focused their eyes intently. Then, with a splash, they jumped! "Oh my God!" voices exclaimed. Everyone was moved by the sight of these mammals living in the ocean, beings so close to us. It was a tour that allowed us to empathize with the beauty of nature and the essence of life.

We participated with two adults and children aged 2 and 0. The shuttle bus accommodated our stroller, and we arrived at the departure port. Since it was early in the morning, we bought some bread to eat after boarding. The ship was wheelchair accessible, making it easy to move around with the stroller.
After we set sail, there was an announcement that whales could be seen. We spotted whales jumping and spouting water several times. It seemed like it was raining a bit in the distance, and we were lucky enough to see a double rainbow, capturing both the rainbow and the whales in photos, which made us feel very fortunate.

I participated on Valentine's Day, February 14.
The weather forecast had predicted rain and even thunderstorms.
However, on the day itself, although it was quite cloudy, I was able to see many whales.
Right after the boat set out, I was lucky enough to see a big rainbow in the distance, the first one of this trip.
It was windy and cold, but I desperately filmed videos.
There were quite a few baby whales.
They seemed to be jumping with all their might, which was adorable.
If the weather had been nice, I would have seen the most beautiful scenery, but overall, I was satisfied.
Like me, most people were watching from the top deck, but actually, viewing from around the second deck might have been better because it was closer.

I parked my car at a nearby free parking lot and walked a bit to check in at the counters of various companies (the Lahaina Cruise counter is the farthest from the free parking lot). Since I had already made the payment in advance, I just had to provide my name and sign in, which made the check-in process very easy!
Once on board, the guide shared various interesting facts about whales and provided services even before we spotted any. When the whales finally appeared, they would say, "They've come out in the direction of 〜 o'clock!" so I didn't miss anything at all. When I saw a whale jump right in front of me and got to see the beautiful island of Maui from the ocean, I truly felt that it was worth signing up for this experience.
The guide spoke entirely in English, but I found it wasn't too difficult to understand. If you're concerned, it seems you can also request a Japanese guide, so it might be worth considering.
It was a very enjoyable whale watching experience.
近くの無料駐車場に車を停めて、少し歩いたら見えてくる各会社のカウンターでチェックイン(ラハイナ・クルーズのカウンターは無料駐車場からは一番遠いところにあります)。
事前に支払いも済ませていたので、名前を伝えて記帳するだけでチェックインが終わり、とても楽でした!
いざ乗船するとガイドさんがクジラに関するいろいろな豆知識を教えてくれたり、クジラが見えないうちにもサービスをしてくれます。
いざクジラが現れると「〜時の方向に出てきたよ!」と伝えてくれて、見逃すことは一切なかったです。
目の前でジャンプを見られた時、沖から綺麗なマウイ島を見られた時は、本当に申し込んでよかったと思いました。
ガイドさんはもちろん全て英語でお話をしてくれますが、そこまで聞くのが難しいことはなかったです。
不安であれば日本語ガイドも申し込めるようなので、検討してみるといいかもしれません。
とても楽しいホエールウォッチングになりました。

safety instructions were good and snorkelling excellent with 2 helpers in the water to show where the turtles and fish were and keep you in the area. Waves were picking up when we left and I'm not a good sailor, so I didnt have any snacks or drinks . Sails were raised and all the crew were very good for the sail around the harbour.

We were blessed with good weather, but for a while after setting sail, there were no signs of dolphins, and I started to lose hope, thinking it was just nature. Then, during our last chance, we encountered a large pod of about 60 dolphins! We were able to swim quite close to them and even witnessed them jumping, which was incredibly exciting.
On our way back, we had another amazing encounter with a mother whale and her calf at a surprisingly close distance! I was moved by the adorable sight of the baby whale mimicking its mother by flapping its tail. At the sea turtle spot, I was also thrilled to swim alongside a quite large sea turtle.
Even if you're not a strong swimmer, the instructors were very attentive, making for a safe and enjoyable experience!

We got soaked on the boat, but that was also a fun memory. Snacks and water were provided during the trip. I would love to participate again if I visit the Big Island during the season.

The pickup arrangements at the hotel were poor, and it took a long time to get on the bus.
Whether or not you can see whales really depends on luck...
This time, I was able to see the back and tail fins about two or three times. I think it was more impressive from the bottom deck?
A friend who participated on a different day mentioned that they missed seeing a whale because there was an announcement while they were eating, so that's something to take personal responsibility for. There are plans that include meals and various experiences, but it really depends on what you want to focus on.
ホテルでのピックアップの段取りが悪く、なかなかバスに乗れなかった
クジラが見える見れないは本当に運しだいなので。。。
今回は2~3回背中と尾ひれが見れました。

Wow! We had such a good time on the boat this morning. Was convenient to get the boat at 10.30 just after breakfast from right on the beach. Crew were friendly and just a short journey out to Turtle Canyon! The crew were fun and helpful, and when we got to Turtle Canyon we were lucky enough to see 6+ turtles, many fish and the crew/ lifeguard/ guide pointed out a few extra interesting things. We had plenty of time to be in the water looking at the turtles, most people returned to the boy long before they had to and enjoyed a few drinks in a beautiful setting.
We looked out for whales or dolphins on the way back but didn’t get lucky, Aparently they are there though and can sometimes be seen.
They provided life jackets which were good to snorkel with as don’t have to take too much effort to stay floating and can easily deflate if you want to dive down.
Not was not too crowded, we had only about 15 people but they did say they can do up to 49 people and I imagine that would be very crowded!
At turtle canyon there were quite a few other boats but if you were patient it wasn’t that bad in the water snorkeling around, just watch out for any collisions with other swimmers!
The crew were good and kept an eye on us in the water at all times too, letting people know if they were going too far or anything and also pointing out where the turtles are!
In summary, something we would love to do again and would certainly recommend to any other people visiting Hawaii!
There isn’t much shade on the bot was one thing with nothing - so take a hat if it’s a sunny day!
Crew were very generous providing drinks on board too! I’d be surprised if anyone managed to have all three free drinks though after the snorkel (no alcohol before swimming) it’s only 20 mins back to the beach.

The tour took place in Hawaii under unusually low and rough weather conditions. Right after departure, many people started feeling seasick, but it turned out to be a lucky day, as we encountered a large pod of dolphins that swam leisurely beside us and even surfaced, which the crew described as a miracle. During snorkeling after the dolphins, we also had the rare chance to see a ray.
The weather changed rapidly, with rain, sunshine, and clouds, but thanks to that, we were able to see a double rainbow. The strong winds made it difficult to stop shivering on the boat. There was no place to change out of wet swimsuits, so we had to dry off with towels and put on a jacket while still wet. Those who are not confident in the cold should be cautious on cloudy days. For those worried about seasickness, I recommend starting with a shorter dolphin tour.
ハワイでは滅多にない気温が低く荒れ気味の天候の元でのツアーでした。出航直後から船酔いする人続出でしたが、イルカの大群に出会えた上、イルカ達がずっと私達のそばを悠々と泳いだり、水面に浮かび上がって来たりすらクルー曰く奇跡のようなラッキーデーでした。イルカの後の亀とシュノーケリングの際も珍しくエイに出会えたりしました。
途中雨が降り、晴れ間が出たり曇ったりと目まぐるしく天気が変わりましたがお陰でダブルレインボーまで見られました。
風が強くて船上で体の震えが止まらず辛かったです。濡れた水着を着替える場所は無いのでタオルで拭いて濡れたまま上に上着を羽織るしかありません。寒さに自信のない人は曇りの日は要注意です。船酔いの心配な人はまずは時間の短いイルカ中学に入学する事をお勧めします。
The weather in Hawaii is very changeable. One delightful feature of this is that you can often see rainbows. Sometimes, you can even catch a beautiful double rainbow forming a perfect semicircle on the horizon. In Hawaii, the strong sunlight can make cloudy days or windy conditions feel much cooler, so please remember to prepare for the cold!
ハワイの天気はとても変わりやすいです。
その効果で虹が多く見られるのは嬉しい特徴ですね。
水平線上に綺麗に半円のダブルレインボーなんかも見れることがあります。
ハワイでは日差しが強い分、曇りの日や風が吹くととても体感が下がるので、皆さん忘れずに防寒対策をお願いします!

We boarded the boat as a family of four with our 2-year-old and 11-month-old baby! We were excited and a bit nervous wondering if we would see whales, but we enjoyed exploring the boat and taking in the scenery without getting bored. Since it was the rainy season in February, it was a bit chilly, so warm clothing was necessary.
The staff were wonderful; they played with the kids and smiled at them, gave us paper caps as gifts, and showed us videos and photos of whales and dolphins they had filmed in the past. They were very kind to the children.
As for the whales, we were able to see the spouting whales, their backs, and tails! When we saw them, everyone cheered, and it was more moving than we expected! I want to go again when the kids are older.
2歳児と11ヶ月の赤ちゃんをつれて家族4人で乗船しました!
クジラ、見れるかな〜〜とドキドキワクワクしながらも、船の中を散策したり、景色を楽しんだり、飽きることなく楽しめました。
2月の雨季の時期だったので肌寒かったので防寒具は必要でした。
スタッフのかたも子供たちをみるとみんな笑顔で遊んでくれたり、紙製のキャップをプレゼントしてくれたり、過去に自分たちが撮影したクジラやイルカの群れの動画や写真などを見せてくれて、子供たちにとても優しかったです。
肝心のクジラですが、潮吹きークジラの背中や尾びれ、見れました!
みれた瞬間はみんな大歓声で、思ったよりも感動しました!!
子供たちが大きくなったらもう一度見に行きたいと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that your children enjoyed it as well. Please do come back with your family again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I was happy to fulfill my long-time dream of swimming with dolphins. I was able to see them up close. It was cold, but the wetsuit I borrowed was helpful. If there's one thing I want to mention, it's that since I rented a car, I met at the designated location, but the meeting point, the "public restroom," was quite hard to find. It was still dark at the meeting time, and other participants' bus was delayed, which made me quite anxious, wondering if I was at the wrong meeting point. In the end, I found out by asking someone from another tour company. I had asked during the confirmation call the day before, "Will I be able to find the restroom easily?" but the response was vague.
長年の夢(?)だった、イルカと泳ぐことができて嬉しかったです。しっかり見ることができました。寒かったのですが、お借りしたウエットスーツが役にたちました。一つだけ言っておきたいことがあるとしたら・・レンタカーのため、現地集合にしたのですが、集合場所の「公衆トイレ」がかなり分かりづらかったです。集合時間はまだ暗かったし、他の参加者のバスが遅れてきて、集合場所が違うのではないかと、かなり不安な気持ちになりました。最終的に、他のツアー会社さんの方にお聞きして判明しました。前日の参加確認の電話で「トイレってすぐに分かりますかね?」と聞いておきましたがその辺のお返事も曖昧でした。

On the morning of the day, when the shuttle bus arrived at the location, I was told that it was canceled. The day before, there had been bad weather, and as a result, the sea was murky. I changed my reservation to the latest time at 3 PM, thinking it might be better in the afternoon. However, the visibility was only about a meter. I felt that this was unacceptable, especially since I had paid over 15,000 yen. I think it would be completely different if I went on a nice day. I wish there had been a half-price refund system.
当日朝、送迎バスが現地に到着したときに、キャンセルになりましたと言われました。前日天候が悪い日があり、そのため海が濁ってるとのこと。午後ならいけるかもしれないと予約を変更して一番遅い3時になることに。しかしながら透明度がメートルほどでした。一万五千円以上払ってるのに、これはないなぁと思ったりもしました。天気の良い日に行くと全然違うんですよね、多分。半額バック制度があればよかったなー

I thought it would be difficult to catch it due to timing, and that turned out to be true. I'm glad I was able to see a bit of it towards the end. I appreciate the crew for their efforts.
なかなかタイミングが合わないと見れないと思っていたがその通りでした。終盤に少し見れたのでよかったです。クルーの方々には感謝したします。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. This time, it seems we had just a "little bit" of whale sightings, but there are days when they appear frequently. We hope you will come back to search for those whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

The optional tour we had planned was suddenly canceled due to bad weather, so we made a last-minute reservation to participate that morning. The sea was very pleasant, and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. After a while, we encountered a mother whale and her calf, along with a pod of dolphins! They were very close, and we could hear the sounds they made when they spouted water. They stayed near the surface for a long time, allowing us to watch them for quite a while, which was incredibly moving! While the whale was diving, we enjoyed watching the dolphins jump, making for a very fulfilling experience.
予定していたオプショナルツアーが天候不良により急遽中止になってしまったため、当日朝に予約しての参加でした。
海上はとても気持ち良くキレイな景色を楽しめました。
しばらく船を進めるとくじらの親子とイルカの群れに出会える事が出来ました!
とっても近かったので、潮をふく時の音も良く聞こえ、海面付近にずっといてくれたので長い時間見ている事が出来てとても感激しました!
くじらが潜っている間はイルカのジャンプを楽しめ、とても充実した時間でした。
