ホエールウォッチングクルーズ　キャプテン・ゾディアック号　クジラと近距離＆スリル満点！ラフティングボートツアー＜午前・午後・夕方／12～3月／カイルアコナ発＞

It was canceled due to bad weather! 悪天候でキャンセルになりました！

Reviewed by: マハロハ

On the day of the event, I went to the meeting place early in the morning, but the staff informed me that the cruise was canceled due to bad weather. I understood that the sea was rough and the wind was strong, so I accepted it and enjoyed a leisurely whale watching experience at Quay Bay. I would like to try again.

当日、朝早く集合場所へいきましたが、スタッフが今日は悪天候なのでクルーズは中止になったと連絡されました。海が荒れて風も強かったのでしょうがないと思いつつ、クアベイでゆっくりホエールウオッチングしてました。またトライしたいと思いました。

It must be amazing if the weather is nice! 天気が良ければ最高に違いない！

Reviewed by: あみこ

Unfortunately, we encountered a day of heavy rain. Many people got off the shuttle bus from the hotel without umbrellas and boarded the boat. The air conditioning was strong, and we were shivering in our wet clothes. They temporarily turned off the air conditioning after seeing us, but it was soon turned back on. The sea outside was also rough, making it quite challenging.

As for the whales, there was an announcement about their direction, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any and received replacement tickets. My friend who got seasick probably won't go again! (laughs) However, I think the tour itself isn't bad, as weather and whale sightings are a matter of luck.

あいにくの大雨の日に当たってしまいました。ホテルから送迎バスを降りて、傘を持ってなかった人も多くて船に乗り込みました。
冷房が強くて、濡れた服を着た私達は震えてました。その様子を見て一旦冷房を止めてくれたのですが、すぐに再開。外の海も荒れていたので、なかなか辛かったです。
肝心の鯨は、何時の方向にいるとアナウンスが入るのですが、残念ながら見られずに振替チケットをもらいました。
船酔いした友達はもう行く事はないかな？（笑）
でも、天気も鯨も運なので、ツアー自体は悪くないと思います。

Completely different from what I imagined. 想像と大違い

Reviewed by: コウチン

I participated thinking I would see whales like in the photos above, but I could only see a spout in the distance and a small tail fin. If you join with expectations like those in the photos, you might feel quite disappointed. I think it's better to have the mindset that seeing even a little would be lucky. However, the tour guides and the view of Waikiki from the sea are fantastic.

As for the weather and the taste of the beer, it feels incredibly luxurious. Just be careful of seasickness!

上記の写真の様な感じでクジラが見えるのかと？と思い参加しましたが
遠くの方で潮が吹き尾びれが小さく見える程度です。
余りに写真の様な期待をして参加すると”がっかり度”が大きいですよ。
ちょっと見えればラッキーくらいの感じがいいと思います。
ただ、添乗員の皆さまや海から見るワイキキは最高ですよ。

後は天気とビールの味は最高に贅沢な気分になります。
注意はやはり船酔いですね。気を付けて！！

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey... ちょっとお高いのが難点・・・

Reviewed by: minikichi

Most participants are elderly individuals who cannot engage in snorkeling or other marine sports. At the deepest point, we dive down to about 30 meters to see sunken ships and other sights on the seabed. There is also a Japanese audio guide available, so I don't think there will be any issues. If you request a pickup, you will arrive about an hour before the meeting time, and there will be an additional 45 minutes after the return. I think it would be efficient to enjoy some tea nearby or take a stroll around Kailua-Kona during this time. The hotel we stayed at only had high-end souvenir shops, and since we weren't planning to stop by Honolulu, it was great to be able to buy souvenirs all at once at the ABC Store inside the King Kamehameha Hotel.

参加者は、シュノーケルやその他のマリンスポーツができない御高齢の方がほとんどです。いちばん深いところでは、海底30メートルくらいまで潜ります。海底に沈んだ船なども見ることができます。日本語のイヤホンガイドもあり、困ることはほとんどないと思われます。送迎をお願いした場合、集合時間の一時間前くらいに着き、帰りもさらに45分ほど時間があります。この時間に、近くでお茶を飲んだりカイルア・コナの散策もしてしまうと効率が良いと思います。私たちが泊まったホテルには高級なお土産屋さんしかなく、ホノルルにも立ち寄る予定がなかったので、キングスカメカメハホテルの中のABCストアでまとめてお土産を購入でき、良かったです。

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

I couldn't meet the manta, and I couldn't try again (within 7 days). マンタに会えず、再挑戦（７日以内）も出来ず

Reviewed by: Kaborin

After reading experiences about the smartphone tour and knowing it was a boat departing from Keauhou Bay, I thought it would be perfect for me since I easily get seasick and feel cold, so I made a reservation. However, on February 16, the day I made the reservation, I received an email via VELTRA at 9 AM notifying me that the tour was canceled due to bad weather. The message stated that I would receive a full refund, and there was a link below for rescheduling the reservation.

I quickly made a reservation for the following day, February 17, and soon received a confirmation reply through VELTRA. However, the next day, there were zero manta rays. When disembarking, I was told, "The office opens at 8 AM tomorrow, so please call." But the next day, I had a tour with Kona Brewing where I would be drinking, so I couldn't drive afterward, and I had to return home the following day.

In a bind, I sent a question email to the VELTRA representative who had sent me the cancellation email, but I received no reply. I had seen too many experiences on VELTRA and mistakenly thought that if I didn't see manta rays, I could try again anytime, similar to other tours. However, for this tour, the information about being able to retry within seven days if I didn't see manta rays only appeared if I opened the "View Details" section on my smartphone.

(There was also information in the Q&A about what to do if I didn't see manta rays, but I noticed it too late...) The guide might have explained the details about retrying when disembarking, but I couldn't understand because I'm not fluent in English. It's my own mistake, and there's nothing I can do about it, but I'm really disappointed that I didn't see any manta rays. Next time, I plan to choose a tour where I can retry anytime if I don't see manta rays.

スマホの体験談を読み、ケアウホウ湾から出る船とのことで、船酔いしやすく又寒がりの私にはこれだ！と思い、予約しましたが…。
予約をした２月16日は、VELTRA経由で朝９時にメールで天候不順で中止との連絡が。
金額は全額返金との文面、更にその下には日程を変更して予約する場合のリンクが貼られていました。
すぐに翌17日の予約を入れ、程なく予約確定の返事もVELTA経由で頂いたのですが…。
翌日決行するも、マンタはゼロ。
下船時『明日８時から事務所が開くので、電話してください』というような話をされましたが、翌日はコナブリューイングのツアーでお酒を飲むため、その後の運転はNG、そして次の日にはもう帰国せねばならず。
困り果て、中止メールを頂いたVERTRAの担当者さんに質問メールを入れましたが、返事はなく…。
VELTRAさんでツアーの体験談をいろいろ見すぎてしまったことで、マンタが見られなかった場合は、またいつでも挑戦可能という他のツアーの体験談と勘違いしてしまい、このツアーも再挑戦はいつでもOKなのだと思い込んでしまっていました。
このツアーは、スマホだと〔詳細を見る〕というところを開けないとマンタが見れなかった場合７日以内に再挑戦可能という文面が現れません。
（Q&Aにも、マンタに会えなかった場合のことが書いてありましたが、気づくのが遅かった…）
ガイドさんは、下船時に再挑戦に際しての詳しい話もされていたのかもしれませんが、英語が堪能ではないので、理解できず。
自分のミスで、仕方ないことですが、マンタが見られず、本当に残念です。
次回は、マンタに会えなかった場合は再挑戦がいつでもOKなところを選ぼうと思います。

Guides were GREAT, we saw MULTIPLE turtles (one even swam right up by us) and we also saw dolphins. We got to do a little bit of sailing at the end while drying off, having a beverage and eating the provided snacks.

Considering the winter activities, how was it? I participated knowing that visibility might be limited, but I was really disappointed because I could only see a small glimpse of the whales far away, and it wasn't clear enough to capture a photo. Although the whales were hard to see, I thought it might not be a bad tour if I considered it as a walk on the boat.

冬ならではのアクティビティのわりには、いかがなものでしょうか。

On the 1:30 PM cruise, it mentioned that "light snacks" were included in the price. I was expecting something like sandwiches, but it turned out to be just potato chips and cookies. I think it would be better to describe this as snacks rather than light meals. However, the beer was unlimited. Of course, we also saw whales. Ah, I'm so hungry!!!

冬季限定！ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～4月／英語ガイド／ラハイナ港発＞

A must-recommend activity in Lahaina! ラハイナでは絶対のお勧めアクティビティ！

Reviewed by: negibouzu

I was able to travel to Maui during the winter season, so I decided to enjoy whale watching and made a reservation in advance with VELTRA. This is definitely an activity you should participate in if you travel to Maui.

First of all, there are numerous whale watching tours in Lahaina. The tour I participated in had its check-in and departure point at the main loading dock right in front of the Pioneer Inn in Lahaina, where there were more than ten operating booths. Despite this, I saw several people who tried to sign up on the day and were turned away due to being "fully booked," with alternative dates suggested. I think it's better to make a reservation in advance.

It was quite a windy day, but I had no worries about seasickness (though this is just my personal opinion). Of course, it wasn't completely smooth, but it was more like the sensation of a theme park ride rather than the kind of rocking that causes seasickness, and it had quite a sense of speed.

As we departed from Lahaina Harbor and saw the streets of Lahaina, it was truly wonderful. Just this view felt worth the price (laughs). In the first half, we didn't see many whales, but in the second half, we were able to see whales up close quite frequently. The staff was friendly, enthusiastically pointing out, "Look over there!" and "Ten o'clock direction!"

Most of the passengers were not Japanese, but there were no particular issues as we didn't need to converse with each other. The shape of the boat was large enough to accommodate about 40 people, and it was two stories. Most passengers enjoyed the activity on the upper deck. There was also a bar corner (with soft drinks available, of course). There was no pressure to order drinks.

As for some advice, I recommend fully charging your camera or smartphone battery. You never know where the whales will surface. They have a behavior pattern of "suddenly surfacing with their snout, then diving headfirst into the water, and finally showing their tail before submerging," which lasts about 20 seconds. Therefore, to capture that decisive moment, you need to keep your camera ON at all times. I missed out on taking good photos because my battery wasn't sufficiently charged (T_T). Also, while cruising, it can be quite windy, so be careful not to get blown away.

　冬の時季にマウイ島に旅行することができましたので、ホエールウオッチングを楽しむことにしてVELTRAさんで事前に予約しました。
　マウイ島に旅行される場合はぜひ参加したいアクティビティです。

　まず、ラハイナでは数多くのホエールウオッチングツアーがあります。今回参加したツアーはラハイナのパイオニアインのすぐ前のmain loading dockが受付・出港場所ですが、ここだけでも１０を超える営業小屋？がありました。それにもかかわらず当日に申し込みをしようとして「満員」ということで断られ、別の日などを提示されていた方を何人か見かけました。事前予約しておいた方が良いと思います。

　当日はかなり風が強い日でした。しかし船酔いなどの心配はまったくありませんでした（ただし個人的な感想です）。もちろんまったく揺れない訳ではありませんが、船酔いのする揺れではなく、遊園地の乗り物のような感じのけっこうスピード感のあるものでした。
　ラハイナ港を出港して、ラハイナの街並みを見るととても素晴らしいものでした。これだけでも料金の元を取ったような感じでした（笑）
　前半ではあまりクジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、後半になるとかなりの頻度でクジラを近くから見ることができました。スタッフもフレンドリーで、「あっちに見えるぞ」、「１０時方向だ」などと熱心に対応してくれました。

　乗客のほとんどは日本人以外の方でしたが、お互いに会話が必要な訳でもなく特に問題はありませんでした。
　船の形状は４０人くらいが満員の大きさで、２階建てです。ほとんどの乗客は２階部分でアクティビティを楽しみます。一応、バーコーナー（もちろんソフトドリンク有り）もあります。飲み物のオーダーを強制されるようなことはありません。
　
　何点かアドバイス的なことでは、カメラやスマホのバッテリーは十分に充電しておくことをお勧めします。クジラはどこに顔を出すか分かりません。「ギューンと口先から顔を出して、そのまま海面に頭から潜っていき、最後にテールを出した後に水中に潜る」という行動パターンです。この間、２０秒ほどです。そのため決定的瞬間を撮影するためには、いつもカメラをONにしておく必要があるからです。私は充電が十分でなかったため、良い写真を撮りはぐってしまいました(T_T)
　それから会場をクルージングしていると風が強いです。飛ばされないように注意して下さい。

Fun time

Reviewed by: George

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.

I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!

Reviewed by: ナナシ

I participated with my 6-year-old daughter. Of course, the trainer spoke English, so I was worried about my limited listening skills, but they kindly taught us using body language, which made it a lot of fun. It might be reassuring to have some basic swimming skills. The dolphins were truly adorable, and both my daughter and I were captivated. Although it was only 25 minutes, I think it was just the right amount of time for a 6-year-old in terms of physical stamina. The next day, my daughter seemed to have the best memories, as she didn't want to leave the dolphin lagoon at all.

６歳娘と参加しました。
もちろんですがトレーナーさんは英語ですので、私のつたないリスニング能力では心配でしたが親切にボディランゲージで教えてくれたのでとても楽しめました。
軽い泳ぎの能力はあった方が安心かもしれません。

２５分ですが６歳児には体力的に丁度良かったと思います。

I participated on February 11, and it was a bit chilly, possibly because it was early in the morning and it had been raining until a couple of days prior. Everyone rented wetsuits for $10. I wore a long-sleeve rash guard and long pants, but I think I would have been cold without the wetsuit.

About 20 minutes after the boat departed, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and everyone jumped into the sea to help look for them. It felt more like watching them swim from a distance rather than swimming with them. We quickly found another pod of dolphins on the second encounter as well.

Unfortunately, during snorkeling, I didn't get to see any sea turtles swimming. I could only see a hand sticking out from behind a rock at the deep bottom. The hula lesson was also fun.

It was a really enjoyable experience that ended in no time. I participated with my family of four (children in 8th and 11th grades), but since it was a physically demanding activity, I think it might be difficult for small children or elderly people.

2／11に参加したのですが、朝が早いことと2、3日前まで雨が降っていた影響もあってか肌寒く、皆んな 10ドルでウェットスーツを借りていました。長袖、長ズボンのラッシュガードを着てましたが、ウェットスーツがなかったら寒かったと思います。
船が出航して20分くらいでイルカの群れと遭遇、みんなで一斉に海に飛び込み協力してイルカを探します。一緒にイルカと泳ぐというよりは、離れたところで泳いでるのを見るという感じでした。
2回目もすぐイルカの群れを見つけられました。

Big Island Manta Ray Snorkel Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Sunset & Night Tours

Majestic Rays

Reviewed by: Kay

Watching rays swoop in from the darkness was amazing.

Our dive master was well informed and even gave us a great recommendation for a beach to hit the next day.

If I had any quibbles with the excursion is that from the time we left the dock until the time we went back to the dock we were only out for about 1hr and 15 minutes.

We were aware that the excursion had a max time of 2 hrs+ but would have loved to spend more time in the water after sunset and the Rays actually came out.

The excursion was still great though and it’s certainly a recent highlight of wild animal viewing.

I took the city bus to Aloha Tower Marketplace (the meeting place). Right next to Aloha Tower Marketplace, there is a boat docked, and the reception is right in front of it. The office opens at 8 AM, but since we arrived early, the reception wasn't open yet, which caused a bit of confusion. For those making their way to the meeting place on their own, I think using the boat next to Aloha Tower Marketplace as a landmark is a good idea.

As soon as we boarded the boat at 8 AM, there was a bit of time (about 45 minutes) before departure. We didn't eat, but you can have breakfast on board.

As for the whales, we were able to see them. When a whale is spotted, the staff will indicate the direction based on the time on the clock. You can see the direction they point to, or others will point as well, so we were able to see the whales multiple times.

However, whales dive quickly, and depending on the location, they can only be seen from a distance, so I recommend bringing a DSLR camera if you have one.

市バス（The Bus)を使って、アロハタワーマーケットプレイス（集合場所）まで行きました。
アロハタワーマーケットプレイスのすぐ横に船が止まっており、その目の前が受付になります。
8時から事務所が開くのですが、私たちは早めに着いていたので、受付が開いておらず少し迷いました。
集合場所まで自力で行く方は、アロハタワーマーケットプレイスすぐ横の船を目印にしたらいいと思います。

8時にすぐに船に乗り込むと、出航までは少し時間（45分ぐらい）があります。私たちは食べませんでしたが、船内で朝食をとることもできます。

肝心のぐじらですが、見ることができました。クジラが見えるとスタッフの方が時計の時間で方向を教えてくれます。その方向を見るか、他の方が一斉に指をさすので何度もくじらを見ることができました。

但し、くじらはすぐに潜ってしまうのと、場所によっては遠くからしか見えないので、一眼レフカメラを持っている方は、持っていくことをお勧めします。

ホエールウォッチ　マジェスティック号　横揺れが少ない最新テクノロジー採用の次世代クルーズ船＜アロハタワー発／12/26～3/31＞

鯨ウォッチング 鯨Waching

Reviewed by: 爺さん

On February 7, 2018, I went on the long-awaited Whole Watching tour with my wife aboard the Majestic. The weather was nice that day, and the voyage was smooth with little rocking. We encountered whales about ten times, which made us very satisfied.

Since we were staying in Ko Olina, we joined the tour at the meeting point, but it was difficult to find Pier 6. We finally arrived after asking a local near Aloha Tower for directions. I think it would be helpful if a map of how to get there was posted on the website. - A 70-year-old man

2018/02/07妻とマジョスティク号で待望のWhole Wachingに出かけました。当日は天気も良く揺れもすくない航海で、鯨も10回程遭遇し満足しました。
コオリナに滞在していた為、現地集合で参加しましたが、ピアー6が判り難く、アロハタワー付近で現地の方に聞いてやっとたどり着きました。ホームページに行き方地図を掲載された方がいいと思います。70歳男性

冬季限定！ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～4月／英語ガイド／ラハイナ港発＞

I was able to see the breaching! ブリーチングがみれました！

Reviewed by: YORI

It was the season, so I was able to see a lot! We even saw breaching! Although it was far away, we saw it twice right in front of us. The Japanese guide also came along and provided explanations about the highlights and why whales inhabit Maui during this time, making it a very fulfilling whale watching experience.

シーズンなのでたくさん見れました！しかもブリーチングまで！遠くでしたが正面に2回も。日本語ガイドさんも来てくださり見所とか、なぜこの時期マウイ島に生息しているのかとか、解説もしていただけたのでとても充実したホエールウォッチングでした。

Whale クジラ

Reviewed by: mikibuu

The boat was a catamaran. Since we boarded right up to the beach, you should be prepared to get wet. There were no Japanese staff, but we managed just fine. Even though I thought of whales as wild animals, my expectations were high! When a whale came close, it was so exciting. Finally seeing a whale was a dream come true! Thank you for showing up. There were some snacks available, but we were so focused on the whales. The sea conditions were calm that day, with clear skies and little wind, so the conditions were quite good. I think our family was lucky. The next day when we went to the beach, the waves were really strong, and it looked like getting on the boat would be even more difficult. After all, dealing with nature, the weather, sea conditions, and the appearance of the whales, I can only feel gratitude. I will never forget the whales that our whole family got to see.

船はカタマラン。ビーチギリギリまでつけての乗船なので、ハッキリ言って濡れるの覚悟が必要です。
日本人スタッフさんは、いませんがなんとかなりました。
クジラは野生の動物だからと思っていても期待は高まりますね❗️クジラが、近くに出てきてくれた時は興奮ものです。
念願叶ってのクジラさん‼️出てきてくれて、ありがとうでした。
ちょっとした飲食もありましたが、クジラさんで、いっぱい、いっぱいでした。
この日は、海況も穏やかで晴天、風もあまりなく、コンディションは良い方でした。
私達家族はラッキーだと思います。
翌日ビーチに行ってみると、うねりがすごく、船に乗るのがさらに大変そうでした。
やはり自然相手、天気・海況・クジラさんの出現は感謝しかありません。
家族全員で見れたクジラさんは忘れません。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

Everything is excellent. なにもかも最高です

Reviewed by: mikibuu

Meeting up on-site was nerve-wracking, but when we found the boat at the port, I felt a sense of relief and excitement as if the tour had already begun. A Japanese staff member found our family, and we boarded safely. By the way, we were the only Japanese family there. The female staff member was very kind to us.

Since it was early in the morning, breakfast was included on the boat! There was a generous amount of food available. There were also various drinks. Japanese people tend to be reserved, but it felt like we should confidently go for the food and drinks. We enjoyed a hearty lunch as well. It was delicious.

What impressed me was the sunscreen! It was available in bottles for free use, and it was eco-friendly for the ocean and coral! That's quite rare. The atmosphere on the boat was fantastic, with music playing all the time. It was fun.

Snorkeling was the highlight, as we got to see fish and turtles in the clear water while playing with the kids. Moreover, while free diving, we could actually hear the sound of whales! It was clear! On the way back to the port, we encountered whales due to the season, making it a dream-like day.

現地集合は、ドキドキするけど、港でボートを見つけたりした時の‼️ホッとした感やビンゴ‼️感から、ツアーが始まってる気がする。
日本人スタッフさんが、私達家族を見つけてくれて、無事に乗船。
ちなみに、日本人は、私達家族のみでした。
日本人スタッフさんは、女性で、とても親切にしてもらいました。
朝早かったので、船で朝ごはん付き！しっかり食べれる量が揃ってます。
飲み物も一通りありました。日本人は遠慮しがちですが、臆せず食べ物、飲み物を取りに行こうって感じです。
ランチも同様、ガッツリ頂きました。美味しかったです。
流石だなと思うのは、日焼け止めクリーム！
ボトルで、無料で使いたい放題！しかも、海や珊瑚に優しい日焼け止めクリーム‼️なかなかないです。
ボートの雰囲気も最高で、常に音楽がかかってます。楽しいです。
そしてシュノーケルは、透明度の高い水中で魚亀を子供達と見て遊べて最高だった。さらに、素潜りしていたら、なんと‼️クジラの鳴き声が聞こえるんですよ。ハッキリと❗️港までの帰りは、時期的にクジラが出たりで
夢のような一日でした。
