イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

I saw dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and other fish! イルカも見れたし、鯨も見れたし、ウミガメも見れたし、他の魚も見れた！

Reviewed by: あかふく

I participated in the early morning tour on January 3rd with my middle school son. I was worried about the weather forecast, as it mentioned strong winds (which could make us seasick) and low temperatures (which seemed cold), but in the end, it turned out to be a great experience.

Since I had read other people's experiences, both of us took motion sickness medication before getting on the boat, which might be why we didn't feel seasick at all. The cold wasn't too bad after we got off the boat and entered the sea the first time, but after getting back on the boat the second time, I started shivering. However, I had seen from others' experiences that it was a good idea to bring a bath towel and something to wear over our clothes, so we brought bath towels and two of the non-adhesive hot packs each, which helped us warm up quickly. The local guide on the boat even asked, "What is that?" (laughs).

On the bus ride there, we heard various stories from our guide, Julie, and once we were on the boat, everything flowed smoothly. Despite the large number of participants, there were no issues with anyone missing out on anything, which was surprising.

We spotted dolphins relatively quickly after getting on the boat, and everyone jumped in to swim close to them, but it was quite hard (laughs). I don't usually do any sports, so I lagged behind everyone and couldn't see the dolphins underwater until the end. My son said, "The dolphin was swimming right below me!" and I thought that was enough, but when I found out that another person and I hadn't seen the dolphins yet, the local guide helped push me and pull me closer to the dolphins, and I was able to see them safely.

The first time we entered the sea to see the dolphins, I was constantly moving my body, so I was out of breath (laughs), but I wasn't too cold after getting back on the boat. However, during the second time in the sea, we swam more leisurely to watch the sea turtles and other fish, so I didn't move my body much, and I felt quite cold after getting back on the boat.

It was great that we had a photographer with us who took lots of pictures. I brought my own underwater camera, but I had no time to take photos while swimming after the dolphins (laughs).

On the boat, the local guides constantly made us laugh with gestures and communicated with us through gestures, so I think even those who can't speak English can enjoy it quite a bit.

We were able to regain our body temperature by eating warm spam onigiri and snacks, and I think it was a well-organized tour.

1月3日の朝早いほうのツアーに中学生の息子と参加しました。
天気予報を見ていると、風も強いし（船に酔いそう）、気温も低めだし（寒そう）、日本を出発する頃から心配していたのですが、参加した結果、良かったです(^^)
他のかたの体験談を見ていたので、船に乗る前に酔い止め薬を二人とも服用していたせいか船に酔う事もなかったです。
寒さは、一度目に船をおりて海に入った後はそうでもなかったのですが、二度目に海に入って船にあがってからはガタガタ震えてしまいました。
でもそれも、他のかたの体験談からバスタオルや上に羽織るものを持参したほうが良いというのを見ていたので、バスタオルと上に羽織るものと、そして我が家は貼らないタイプのホカロンを一人二つずつ持参していったのですぐにおさまりました。船に乗っていた地元のガイドのかたから「それは何か？」と聞かれましたが(笑)

行きのバスの中ではガイドのジュリーさんからいろいろなお話が聞けましたし、船に乗ってからも流れがスムーズで、参加人数がかなり多かったにも関わらず、誰かに何かがわたっていないなどという事がなかったのが驚きでした。

船に乗って割とすぐにイルカが見つかり、ドボンドボンと全員飛び込んでイルカの近くまで泳いでいきましたが、これが結構ハードで(笑)
普段スポーツなど全くしない私は、皆さんから遅れ気味で最後までイルカを水中で見る事がかなわず、息子は「イルカが真下に泳いでいた！」と言っていたのでもうそれでじゅうぶんと思っていたのですが、私ともう一人のかたがまだ水中でイルカを見ていないと知ると、地元のガイドのかたが私の背中を押して下さったり手を引っ張って下さったりしながらイルカの近くまで連れて行って下さり、無事見る事が出来ました。

一度目にイルカを見に海に入った時は、常に必死で身体を動かしていたせいか息はあがっていたものの(笑)、船にあがってからもそれほど寒くなかったのですが、二度目に海に入った時にはそれぞれゆったり泳ぎながらウミガメや他の魚の泳ぎを見る感じだったので、あまり身体を動かさなかったせいか船に上がってからかなり寒かったです。

今回カメラマンのかたの同行があったので写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえてよかったです。自分でも水中カメラを持参して行ったのですが、イルカを追いかけて泳いでいる時は撮影する余裕が全くなかったりしたので(笑)

船の上で、常に地元のガイドのかたがたがジェスチャーで笑わせてくださったり、ジェスチャーだけでやりとりして下さったりしてくれたので、英語がしゃべれないかたでもかなり楽しめると思います。

温かいスパムおにぎりや、スナックを食べて体温を取り戻せましたし、いたれりつくせりのツアーだったと思います。

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

My wife and children were very satisfied! 妻も子供も大満足でした！

Reviewed by: がたこ

I boarded the 10 AM tour with a guide who spoke Japanese.

Along the way, we saw sea turtles several times, which made both my children and my wife very happy. Of course, I was also extremely satisfied with the tour. My child said, "I want to ride again!"

The scenery on the way to where the submarine is docked was beautiful, and from the second floor of the boat, you can see Diamond Head, so I definitely recommend going to the second floor!

The ladder mentioned in the precautions for boarding the submarine is actually not a ladder but a staircase (imagine a steep, narrow staircase), and my 6-year-old child and my wife had no trouble getting on and off.

However, since it is quite steep, I think it is essential to follow the precautions that say to "wear sneakers" and "wear pants."

Considering the cost of living in Hawaii, I think the price is quite reasonable.

That said, I will point out three potential downsides that might be considered negatives by some people.

First, when gathering, you go to the counter inside the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but not much Japanese is spoken here. You check in at this counter, but you have to move to the boarding area for the boat on your own (it's very close, though).

You will see a boat with "Atlantis" written in large letters, so you should be able to find it, but please be aware that this is not the type of package tour where your name is called at the reception, and you walk together with the guide to the boarding area.

Also, while the 10 AM tour has a guide who speaks Japanese, I found that I could only understand about 50-60% of what was said in Japanese (laughs).

I’m not dissatisfied; it just feels very Hawaiian, but if you expect 100% perfect Japanese, you might be a bit disappointed (laughs).

Additionally, as mentioned in the tour precautions and many reviews, you will travel by boat from the boarding area to the submarine, and depending on the wind conditions that day, those who are sensitive may experience seasickness.

When passengers move from the boat to the submarine, the boat will naturally be docked close to the submarine, but it can also sway quite a bit, so there is a possibility of seasickness here as well.

I recommend that anyone who is worried about seasickness or is prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication in advance.

日本語でお話し頂けるガイドさんが添乗される午前10時の回に搭乗しました。

途中で海ガメも何回か見られて、子供はもちろん妻も喜んでいました。もちろん私も大満足のツアーでした。子供は「また乗りたい！」と言っていました。

潜水艦が停泊している沖に行くまでの景色も綺麗で、船の2Fからはダイヤモンドヘッドが見えますので絶対に2Fに行く事をオススメします！

注意事項に書いてある潜水艦への乗船の際のハシゴも、実際はハシゴではなく階段状になっており（急で、足場が狭めの階段とご想像ください）6才の子供やうちの妻も訳なく乗降できました。

ただし、かなり急ですので、やはり注意事項に書いてある「スニーカーなどを着用」「ズボン着用」は必須かと思います。

価格も、ハワイの物価を考えれば相当額だと思います。

そんな中であえてマイナス点と言いますか、人によってはマイナス点になりそうな部分を3点挙げます。

まず集合の際、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内のカウンターに行きますが、ここでは余り日本語が通じません。受付はまずこのカウンターで行いますが、船への乗船場所へは自身で移動します。（目と鼻の先ですが）

英語で大きく「Atlantis」と書かれた船が船着き場に来るので分かるとは思いますが、いわゆる日本人観光客御用達のパッケージツアーのように、受付の所で名前を呼ばれてガイドさんと共に船着き場までゾロゾロ行くタイプではないので気を付けてください。

また、10時の回は潜水艦のガイドさんが日本語をお話しされる、との事でしたが、確かに日本語でのガイドを直接してくださいますが5〜6割くらいしか理解できない日本語でした(笑)

不満ではありませんし、何ともハワイらしいな、と言う感想ですが、100％きれいな日本語を期待されて行くと肩透かしかもしれません(笑)

それと、ツアーの注意事項や多くのレビューでも書かれていますが、船着き場から潜水艦の所まで船で移動しますが、その日の風の状況により船が弱い人は船酔いする可能性があります。

また、船から潜水艦へお客さんが移動する際には当然船が潜水艦の近くに停泊するのですが、ここでも結構船が揺れますので、同様に船酔いする可能性があります。

船酔いが心配な人、乗り物酔いしやすい人は事前に必ず酔い止めを飲む事をオススメします。

Reviewed by: Acac

The distance to the whales is about 300 meters, which is quite close. While the sense of their size may not be overwhelming, the excitement when you see them is significant. It's only about a 15-minute distance from the port, so the boat doesn't sway much. If you're deciding between skydiving and whale watching, I recommend whale watching!

クジラとの距離は近くて300メートルくらいです。大きいという感動は少ないですが見たときの感動は大きいです。港から15分くらいの距離なので船が大きく揺れることもありません。スカイダイビングとホエールウォッチングを迷っているならホエールウォッチングを勧めます！

It was a really fun tour!!
Fortunately, we were able to see a pod of dolphins, which was moving. I almost cried in the water.
Even if we hadn't seen the dolphins, the guide and crew were incredibly enthusiastic, so I think you would still enjoy it!
However, the viewing point was where surfers were riding the waves, so it was quite bumpy and I felt a bit nauseous (laughs). Motion sickness medication is a must!
Also, since you never know where the dolphins will appear, you'll be swimming around searching for them. So, you'll need some stamina.

But in the end, I'm really glad I participated!

Many miracles. 奇跡がたくさん

Reviewed by: エッコ

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I only signed up for this dolphin activity. I thought it would fulfill my children's (11 and 6 years old) wish to swim with dolphins!

We were picked up by bus, and on the way to the ocean, we listened to our guide, Julie. I was wondering why it was called Dolphin School, but after hearing her talk, I understood. The dolphins were our teachers! Julie was so energetic, funny, and enjoyable to be around! The distance to the ocean was quite far, but we had a great time learning about the dolphins and the island from her, making the trip feel quick. Julie's love for dolphins was incredible!

When we arrived and finished using the restroom, we headed to the boat, where the Hawaiian captain and the staff were waiting for us! Everyone welcomed us with smiles, and as we boarded the boat, we sang a prayer song and threw flowers into the sea. From there, we set off to find our dolphin teachers. Luckily, we spotted them quite quickly! We immediately put on our goggles and jumped into the water. The staff and Julie guided us, saying, "Look down!" and "Look to the mountains!" so we desperately searched for the dolphins. They were swimming in a pod, making it challenging to keep up. However, we swam slowly so as not to scare them, and the dolphins swam right by us. Some even swam upside down, showing us their bellies. We were able to see these adorable teachers up close! My children seemed thrilled to swim with them. The 6-year-old borrowed a float, which made it easier for him to swim, so that was great.

While moving to the next snorkeling point, we encountered a whale! It seems they returned a bit early this year due to the mild winter. I never expected to see a whale, so I was super excited! It was such a lucky moment! At the next snorkeling point, we discovered a sea turtle gracefully swimming around. I ended up getting too cold and had to go back to the boat with my child, but my husband swam until the end. It was a really fun time, but as soon as we got back on the boat, I started feeling seasick, and by the end, I was struggling with both the cold and the nausea... I regretted not taking motion sickness medication for myself, even though I had given some to the kids. Still, we finished strong with a hula dance graduation ceremony! My sons fell asleep, though... We took a group photo together to wrap up the day.

We saw dolphins, a whale, and a sea turtle, and even spotted seals from the bus on the way back—what a packed tour! The boat had a restroom, we could borrow wetsuits, and the conversations were enjoyable. The only downside was my own health, but I would love to join this tour again when I come back to Hawaii.

If you want to create fun and energetic memories, I highly recommend this tour! Thank you! 😊

今回初めてのハワイでアクテビティはこのイルカ中学だけ申し込みをしていました。
子供たち（11歳、6歳）たってのイルカと泳ぎたい！を叶えてくれると思い申し込みました。

バスでピックアップしてもらい海までの道中、ジュリさんのガイドを聞きながら行きました。
なぜイルカ中学？と思っていましたが話を聞いて納得。イルカは私たちの先生でした！
そして話をしてくれたジュリさんはとにかく元気だし面白いし楽しい！
海まで距離があるのでイルカ先生の知識や島のこと、知らなかったことを楽しく聞けてあっという間の行きでした。ジュリさんのイルカ愛が凄かった！

着いてトイレを済ませて船に向かうと、ハワイアンのパパ（船長）を始めスタッフのお兄さんお姉さん方が待っていてくれました！
みんな笑顔で迎えてくれて船に乗り込むと祈りの歌を歌い花を海へ投げ入れました。
そこからイルカ先生を探しに沖へ。ラッキーなことに結構すぐにイルカ先生たち発見！
すぐにゴーグルなどつけて海へドボン
スタッフのお兄さんやジュリさんが「下見テーーー！」「山ミテーーー！」とイルカ先生のいる方向を支持してくれるので必死に探しました。
群れで泳ぎながら移動しているので追いかけるのが大変でした。それでも驚かさないようにゆっくり泳いでいくとすぐ近くをスイーーと先生たちが泳いでいきました。
中には逆さまにお腹を見せて泳ぐイルカも。
なんとも可愛らしい先生たちの姿を見ることができました！
子供たちも一緒に泳げて嬉しかったようでした。
6歳の方は浮き棒を借りていたので楽に泳ぐことができたのでありがたかったです。

そして次のシュノーケルポイントまで船に上がり移動する間、なんと！クジラ大先生に遭遇！！
今年は暖冬のために帰ってくるのが少し早かったそう。
クジラなんて見れると思ってなかったので大興奮！とってもラッキーでした！
そして、次のシュノーケルポイントではウミガメ大教授発見！気持ち良さそうにフヨフヨと泳いでました。
私は海の冷たさに負けてしまい子供と船に上がってしまいましてが、旦那は最後までしっかり泳いできてました。
すごい楽しい時間だったのですが、船に乗り込んだ早々私自身酔ってしまっていて最後の方は寒さと酔いで大変でした…なので、子供には飲ませていましたが自分も酔い止め飲んでおけばよかったなと後悔。
それでも最後、卒業試験のフラダンスをみんなで踊り元気にフィニッシュ！息子たちは寝ちゃってましたが…
みんなで集合写真を撮って終了しました。

イルカ先生にもクジラ大先生にもウミガメ大教授にもそして帰りのバスからはアザラシを見ることができて盛りだくさんのツアーでした！
船にはトイレもあるし、ウエットスーツもお借りできるしお話も楽しいし自分の体調だけが残念だったけどまたハワイに来た時はまた参加したいなと思えるツアーでした。

とにかく楽しく元気に思い出を作りたい！という方は本当にオススメのツアーです！
ありがとうございました(^^)

Initially, it was promised that if whales were not seen, re-boarding tickets would be distributed, but most people did not receive the re-boarding tickets. I think it's almost impossible to ride again given the length of stay. From the beginning, they should have suggested a half-price refund if whales were not seen.

最初の約束では、クジラが見れない時は、再乗車券を配布とありましたが、ほとんどの人は再乗車券は受け取りませんでした。だって滞在日数から再度乗車する事は、ほとんど不可能だと思います。最初から、クジラを見れない時は、半額返金などを提案すべきです。

I had a great time on the tour where I got to see whales, dolphins, and turtles that can only be observed in winter.

Since I was wearing a wetsuit, the water temperature wasn't as cold as I expected, but it was very chilly after getting out of the water...

On the bus ride there, despite it being early in the morning, the local guide and photographer was unusually high-energy and engaged with the participants. At first, I was a bit scared because I struggle with English, but he kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, and even now that the tour is over, we still talk about him and I ended up becoming a fan, haha.

I also appreciated that the other guides were very enthusiastic about making the tour enjoyable and ensuring everyone got to see dolphins.

The final hula dance with everyone was chaotic but fun, and it left a lasting memory.

I woke up early and participated. While moving on the boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins several times, and I hurriedly took pictures with my smartphone. Then, with the guide's shout, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked down as instructed, I saw more than 20 dolphins swimming together. It was amazing! After that, we challenged the slide and enjoyed swimming. I'm not a strong swimmer, but I wasn't scared. However, my husband got seasick, which made me a bit lonely. There were also a few others who were feeling unwell. I took two motion sickness pills before going, but while swimming, the waves made me feel a bit nauseous. The taro cheese burger for lunch was delicious! Thank you very much!

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Not even close to what is advertised

Reviewed by: Oz-visitors

We were very disappointed with this tour as it's nothing like the video on their ad. First of all the vessels are mechanically disabled so you don't get to operate them; instead you get pushed around by divers. Also the video shows several people in the water at the same time which is also not true. They only had 3 bubbles taking groups of 3 down at a time and when you have 25 people on the tour, you end up spending most of the day waiting around for them to finish. They did offer some fins and snorkels but there weren't nearly enough of them to accomodate everyone that were waiting. I wouldn't recommend this tour, you can find cheaper boat or snorkeling tours for a fraction of the coast. It was kind of like renting a bike where you're not allowed to use the pedals or the handles and someone just pushes you around instead.

Also, please fill out the consent form over there before boarding the boat." We headed towards a beach house on the sand. After completing the electronic signature on a device that looked like a tablet, we waited for about 10 minutes until a small boat arrived, and we boarded it. We transferred from the small boat to a larger boat just before going out to sea. There were only two of us from Japan participating.

【Whale Watching Experience】
Seating on the boat was free. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't understand what was being said at all (laughs). The boat was also swaying, so when standing up to take pictures of the whales, everyone stood, so please make sure to hold onto the ropes or handrails tightly. Although it was far away, we were able to see the whales spouting water about 4 to 5 times and also witnessed a low jump of a whale arching its back. It was a precious experience where I could feel the great nature of Hawaii Island. The crew was a kind young man. He said, "You can almost see whales every day! Dolphins are occasional. There are more in Kona than here." I was shown a picture of the boat getting very close to a whale by the crew, and I was amazed at how impressive it was. Since it depends on luck whether you see whales or not, I thought, "There are lucky days like this." By the way, the two of us did not get seasick.

【After Whale Watching】
Around 9:30, we got off the boat and transferred to a small boat to return to the beach. We boarded the bus we took on the way there and safely arrived back at the hotel front, marking the end of the tour.

Since it was my first experience with whale watching, I’m glad I participated! While waiting for the whales, I also enjoyed cruising. I could see the mountains like Mauna Kea in the distance and the beautiful coastline, making for a graceful time.

日常会話レベル以下の英語力でしたが、特に問題なく楽しむことができました。

【船に乗るまで】
時間になったらホテルのフロントまで小型バスが迎えに来てくれました。
ワイコロアから程近い海に降ろされ「終わったらここに戻ってきてね。それと船に乗る前に同意書は向こうで書いてね。」と言われ、砂浜にある海の家(?)に向かいます。タブレットのような機械で電子サインを済ませ10分ほど待つと小さな船が来たので乗りました。
沖より少し手前で小さな船から大きな船に移ります。
日本人参加者は私達2人だけでした。

【ホエールウォッチング体験】
船の席は自由です。英語ツアーなので私は何を言っているかはちんぷんかんぷんでした（笑）。
また船は揺れるので立ち上がってクジラの写真を撮る際は、皆立つのでしっかりロープや手すりにつかまってください。
遠かったですが4〜5回クジラの潮吹きを見ることができ、クジラの反り返りの低いジャンプも見ることができました。ハワイ島の大自然を感じられた瞬間で貴重な体験でした。
クルーも親切なお兄ちゃんでした。「クジラは毎日ほぼ見れるよ！イルカはたまに。ここよりもコナの方がいるよ。」とのこと。クルーのお兄ちゃんに船でクジラに大接近してる画像を見せてもらい、大迫力すぎて驚きました。自然相手なのでクジラに会えるor会えないは運ですが、こういうラッキーな日もあるんだなぁと思いました。ちなみに、私達2人は船酔いせずに済みました。

【ホエールウォッチングを終えて】
9:30頃船から降りて、また小さい船に移動し砂浜へ戻ります。行きに乗ったバスに乗り込み、無事にホテルのフロントに到着し無事にツアー終了となりました☆

ホエールウォッチングは初めての経験だったので、参加してよかったです！またクジラを待ってる間はクルージングとして楽しみましたよ。遠くの方にマウナケア等の山が見えて美しい海岸も見ることができ優雅な時間でした。

シーライフパーク・ハワイ　イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン　海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内＜送迎付きプランあり＞

The weather is 天気が

Reviewed by: yyyy

Swimming with dolphins was refreshing and made me feel alive. The weather is just a matter of luck. The sea park was a bit lacking. The bird cage was the best part. The tour bus had the air conditioning set too cold, and it was chilly.

イルカと泳ぐのは新鮮で良かったと言うか命を感じました。
天気は運しかないですね。
シーパークは物足りないです。鳥のケージが一番良かったです。
ツアーのバスは冷房が利きすぎて寒かったです。

This is my second time visiting since the year before last, and this year I was able to see whale jumps twice. It was truly spectacular. On top of that, I encountered a pod of dolphins, and they showed us several spin jumps.

一昨年に続いて2回目になりますが、今年はクジラのジャンプを2度見ることができました。それはもう豪快でした。おまけに、イルカの群にも会い、スピンジャンプを何度か見せてくれました。

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

Is this how it is? こんなものなんですかね

Reviewed by: A.K

I thought the water would be clearer, but the submarine's windows were dirty, making it hard to see clearly. I also didn't see as many fish as I expected. Even though we counted the number of people boarding, there weren't enough seats, so we had to squeeze in with the kids on our laps. The air conditioning coming from under our feet was cold. Overall, I felt that the experience was underwhelming for the price. It was disappointing that we could only see the turtles from a distance. There were few fish and not many varieties, so the kids got bored and looked sleepy halfway through.

もっと水が澄んでると思ってたし、潜水艦の窓が汚いのか綺麗に見えなかったし、思ってたよりも魚が見えなかった。定員数を数えて乗ってるはずなのに、席が足りないとかで子供を膝の上に乗せて詰めました。
足の下から出てくるエアコンが寒かった。
値段の割に感動が薄かったです。
亀も遠くにしか見えなくて残念でした。
魚が少ないし、種類も少なくて子供たちも途中で飽きてしまって眠そうにしてました。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

I was able to see a mother and baby dolphin. イルカの親子に会えました

Reviewed by: クボチャン

The weather worsened, so it was canceled once and then rescheduled for the next day. The staff's response was smooth, which was great.

In reality, there were waves, and the sea was cold, making it tough for families with young children, as the kids seemed scared and cold. It would be better to have an age limit of 10 years and older. Many adults also experienced seasickness.

On my third attempt, I was able to see three groups of mother and baby dolphins. I was really glad to see them.

天候悪化で、一度中止で、翌日に変更してもらいました。スタッフの対応もスムーズで、よかったです。

実際、波があり、海が冷たく、小学生低学年の親子連れは、子供達が怖がったり、寒がったりして、大変そうでした。年齢制限を10歳以上の方がよいですね。船酔いの大人も多かったです。
3度目のチャレンジで、イルカの親子連れに3組見れました。見られて本当によかったです。

ホエールウォッチ　遭遇率の高い西オアフで鑑賞！アウラニやコオリナリゾートから車で20分　ソフトドリンク飲み放題付き＜西オアフ発／12/1～3/31＞

I couldn't meet the whale... クジラに会えず…

Reviewed by: なにはな

I participated with my two children at the end of December. Since they do not provide transportation to hotels in Waikiki, we rented a car to get there. We drove from the highway towards Waianae and headed north along the coast. I thought it would have been better to eat at one of the fast food places before the harbor. The meeting place was hard to find, and we finally located it after searching with another group of Japanese tourists who had signed up for the same tour. It would be helpful to use the car with the tour company name as a landmark. There were only portable toilets at the harbor. Before boarding the boat, we had to take off our shoes and go barefoot. Drinks and snacks were available for us to enjoy. Everyone in my family took motion sickness medication, but everyone except me got seasick; my 6-year-old got sick and threw up within 30 minutes, and my 9-year-old was knocked out, both of them sleeping for most of the two-hour cruise. While overcoming the rough waves, I felt like I was in the movie Moana... We encountered a pod of dolphins, and the kids perked up at that moment. Two staff members were searching for whales with binoculars, but we ultimately didn’t see any. The view of Waianae from the boat was wonderful, and I felt rejuvenated by Hawaii's nature, but the kids were exhausted, and not seeing any whales made me feel like we didn’t get our money's worth, so I give it two stars. The staff took care of various things, but they had no Japanese language support at all. Since most participants were Japanese, the fast-paced English could be a bit tough for those who are not good at English. We were not given life jackets, and when I requested one for the kids, they were surprised and handed over a type that looked like a guillotine, which was uncomfortable for my child who was already feeling unwell, and in the end, they couldn’t wear it. I had lingering concerns about safety. Plus, the rough waves... that would be unthinkable in Japan. We received a re-try voucher, but it’s quite difficult to re-try this season, and I wish the expiration could be extended to 1-2 years.

12月末に子供2人と参加しました。送迎はワイキキのホテルまではしてくれないとのことでレンタカーして向かいました。ハイウェイからワイアナエ方向に進み海岸沿い北上しました。ハーバー手前に数件ファストフード店ありそこで食べればよかったと思いました。集合場所は分かりにくく同じツアー申し込んだ他の日本人グループと一緒に探してやっと見つけました。ツアー会社名の書いた車目印にするといいです。ハーバーには簡易トイレしかありません。船に乗り込む前に靴を脱ぎ裸足で乗船。飲み物とお菓子はご自由にと置いてありました。家族全員酔い止め飲んでましたが、わたし以外はみんな船酔い、6歳の下の子は30分も経たないうちに酔って吐き、9歳の上の子もノックアウトで二人とも二時間のクルーズ中ほぼ寝てました。荒波乗り越えながら映画のモアナの気分になりました…途中イルカの群れに会い子供もその時だけは起き上がり元気に。スタッフ二人が双眼鏡でクジラ捜索してましたが結局会えずでした。船からのワイアナエの景色は素晴らしく、ハワイの自然に癒されましたが、子供はぐったりでクジラにも会えず、自然のもので仕方ないとはいえ高い費用の元が取れた気がせず星二つ。スタッフは色々ケアしてくれましたが、日本語は全くNGでした。ツアー参加の大半が日本人の中早口の英語で、英語が得意でない場合はちょっと辛いかもです。ライフジャケット渡されず、子供の分を要求したら驚かれ、ギロチンみたいなタイプのを渡されて子供は体調悪い中首締まり苦しく、結局つけれずでした。安全面で不安が残りました。しかも荒波…日本ではあり得ないです。再トライ券もらいましたが、今シーズン再トライはなかなか難しいしせめて期限が１〜２年あればと思いました。

Pride of Maui Afternoon Snorkel Cruise with BBQ Lunch from Maalaea [Open Soon]

Well worth the price

Reviewed by: Fenyx

This was my only tour in Maui since I did another in Kona.
Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
I was the only person in the cab to and from the tour.

I had a great seat on the boat and everyone seemed very friendly.
They provided everyone with free snorkeling gear but I had a cold so brought my own snorkel. Not sure how much they clean the gear.

Snorkeling site wasn't the best. I didn't see much but others claimed to see a turtle and manta ray. There were far too many people in the water! There was another tour group right next to us. We didn't see many whales either :(

Food and drinks were good, even able to take leftovers.
Overall good experience for singles, families, and couples- gay or hetero.

Dolphin Quest Oahu - Family-Friendly Dolphin Swim Experiences at the Kahala Hotel & Resort

Great experience

Reviewed by: Robin

We took our 2 girls, 6 and 8. Water was slightly cool and it was windy which made the girls cold but it was fine otherwise. The dolphins were so sweet and playful and the trainers were great and good with our daughters. Definitely worthwhile and much better than sea life park which we have done before as well.

I was looking forward to it, but... 期待していたけど…

Reviewed by: ミシェル

I signed up because I wanted to see whales, but in the end, I couldn't see any. All I saw were a few small sharks and dolphins in the distance. Since both the sharks and dolphins were far away, it wasn't very exciting, and with nothing to see in the vast ocean, the nearly three-hour duration became quite boring. Considering it was a bit pricey for a cruise, I wonder if I can endure it...

クジラを見たくて申し込みしましたが…
結局クジラを見ることは出来ず。
遠いところに、何頭かの小さいサメと イルカだけ。サメもイルカも遠いところだったので、
感動もそれほどなく大海原の景色も
何も見えないと、3時間近い時間は飽きてきます。ちよっと高額なクルージングと思えば、
ガマンできますかね…。
