I could see it a little several times. 何度か少し見えました

Reviewed by: アキオ

I had previously taken a cruise on Kauai, but at that time, I could only see a glimpse of the whales in the distance. Compared to that, I was satisfied to see some spouting and a bit of the tail up close this time. However, my companion, who was on their first cruise, seemed disappointed because they expected to see the whales jumping high enough to see their upper bodies.

以前、カウアイ島でクルーズを利用したことがあったのですが、その際は遠くのほうに少し見えただけでした。それに比べると、船の近くで潮吹きや尾びれが少し見えたので、満足しましたが、同行の初めてクルーズを利用した人はクジラが上半身見えるくらいジャンプするところを見えると思ったらしく、残念がっていました。

Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
On our cruise, there are days when we can observe magnificent whales jumping.
Please come back and challenge yourself to find such whales again.
All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Turtle Snorkel/sail

Reviewed by: Lisa

Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!

We participated in a honeymoon trip.
The date of participation was December 25th.
We were the only Japanese people, but our Japanese guide, TAKA, showed us around.
Soon after departing, we encountered a whale jumping, just like you see on TV!
Not only did TAKA provide us with detailed information about the whales' ecology, but he also offered us a generous amount of service.
After that, we were able to spot whales ourselves and cheer with everyone else on board.
Both the whales and TAKA congratulated us on our marriage, making it a fun and memorable cruise.

新婚旅行で参加しました.
参加日は12月25日.
日本人は我々だけでしたが,日本人ガイドのTAKAさんがご案内くださいました.
出港するや間もなく,TVで見るようなクジラのジャンプに遭遇!
TAKAさんからはクジラの詳しい生態をご教示いただくにとどまらず,
サービスたっぷりな案内をいただき,
その後は自分たち自身がクジラを見つけて,
一緒に乗船した皆さんと歓声を上げることが出来ました.
クジラにもTAKAさんにも結婚を祝福してもらい,

I couldn't see any whales, but it was a good experience as a cruise. クジラが見えなかったが、クルーズとして良い経験になります

Reviewed by: ダイナモ

Since my child is small and unable to enjoy activities like snorkeling, we participated in a whale watching tour. There are many comments about not seeing whales on this tour, and unfortunately, we were no exception. However, the weather was nice, and when we went out on deck, the breeze felt pleasant. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the sea was quite lovely, and I thought it was worth participating at this price.

子供が小さくて、シュノーケリングなどのアクティビティが楽しめないので、ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。クジラが見えないというコメントも多々見られるこのツアーですが、ご他聞にもれず見ることができませんでした。しかしながら、天気が良く甲板にでると風が気持ちよく、海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチもなかなか良いものであり、この値段なら参加価値はあるかナと思いました。

Reviewed by: Vivian

We took our grandchildren on the Star of Honolulu whale watching cruise. Unfortunately the whales were elsewhere and not a single one was spotted. That certainly did not stop us from having a wonderful time. The day was beautiful, the boat comfortable, the staff very informative and friendly. The wonderful bonus, because there were no whales spotted, we have been given a return voucher good for anytime this whale watching season. A great value and will go again!

It exceeded my expectations! 予想以上でした!

Reviewed by: Yuki

I have always wanted to interact with dolphins. During my trip to Hawaii, among the many dolphin tours available, I chose the Sea Life tour, which guarantees encounters with dolphins over the wild dolphin tours that are dependent on weather and luck! During the tour, we had an amazing time playing with the dolphins. We took pictures kissing them and high-fiving, which was very fulfilling! My whole family was delighted. Not only do we have memorable photos, but after playing with the dolphins, we were able to eat at the park and interact with other animals. It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

昔からイルカと触れ合ってみたいと思っていました。
ハワイ旅行で、イルカのツアーが沢山ある中
天候や運で左右される野生のイルカツアーより確実に会えるシーライフさんのツアーに参加しました!
ツアー中はイルカとめちゃくちゃ遊べます。キスする写真やハイタッチ等とても充実していました!
家族皆喜んでくれました。思い出となる写真が確実にあるのもそうですし、イルカと遊んだ後はパーク内で御飯を食べたり他の動物と遊べます。

We travel by boat from the shore to the open sea and board a submarine. The boat rocks a lot, but the submarine is quiet. The sight of the large schools of fish gathering around the reef is spectacular. While there aren't as many coral reefs as in Okinawa, it's a great experience to have at least once.

Although the whales did not appear, I was satisfied with the scenery. クジラ現れずも景色で満足

Reviewed by: Sammy

I participated on New Year's Eve 2017. Unfortunately, it seems the whales were also taking a break and did not appear. I was disappointed that I couldn't see them.

Once on the boat, the first thing was the meal. The photo shows the front of the boat, but there are also seats and tables where you can eat comfortably. The meal was a hamburger, and it was delicious! The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat was beautiful.

The third floor has no windows, so the view is great, but once we set sail, the wind became quite strong, so it's best to finish your meal quickly. I thought that even if we saw whales, they would be far away, so I was mainly focused on the scenery, which met my expectations for satisfaction.

Above all, it was helpful that there was commentary in Japanese. I think I will try again someday for a revenge trip.

2017年大晦日に参加しました。
残念ながらクジラもお休みのようで現れず。残念ながら見ることが出来ませんでした。
船に乗るとまず食事です。写真は船先端ですが、それ以外はイスもテーブルもありゆっくり食べられます。食事はハンバーガーですが美味しくいただきました!また船から眺めるワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドは綺麗でした。
3階は窓がないので眺めが良いですが、出航するとかなり風が強くなりますので、食事は早めに済ませましょう。
クジラは見えても遠いであろうと思っていたので、景色メインと考えて乗っていましたので期待通りの満足度としました。
何より日本語で解説があり、助かります。
いつかまたリベンジしよと思います。

Neat Experience!

Reviewed by: Happy traveler

The staff aboard the vessel were accommodating and informative. There was a nice buffet with a full service bar. The captain went out of his way to make sure we had a whale sighting. There were professional photographers on board to capture photos of the whales if you miss getting your own in all the excitement of seeing a whale for the first time. I will definitely do this again on my next visit to the Island!

Since it was my first winter trip to Hawaii in a while, I signed up for whale watching. Although I didn't see any whales, I did see rainbows twice. I was also moved to encounter a large pod of dolphins. I believe it was likely due to the tour company's consideration that they changed the course for us.

Reviewed by: ニコママ

I was really looking forward to my first whale watching experience, but I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see much. I understand it's nature, so it's unavoidable... However, the staff were very focused on taking photos for sale and occupied the best viewing spots. With so many people on the boat, if you miss out on a good spot, it feels like you're just sitting on the boat for hours without seeing anything. It was just cold, so I recommend being well-prepared for the cold weather.

ホエールウォッチングに初参加で楽しみにしていたのですが、
こんなにも見れないのかと少しガッカリでした。自然の生き物なので仕方がないですが…。
ただ、スタッフの方々は、販売用の写真を撮るのに必死で一番見やすい場所を陣取っているし、
船に乗っている人数も多いので、場所取りに失敗すると、何もせずにただ何時間も船に乗っているだけという感じでした。
ただただ寒く、防寒対策は万全にしていくのがおススメです。

Next ticket? 次回のチケット?

Reviewed by: 座敷豚

I couldn't see any whales, but that's just how nature is, so there's nothing to be done about it. However, they said they would distribute tickets for the next time, yet there was no further information provided. It feels bad to get the impression that they think, "They're just tourists, so they won't come back." If that's the case, they shouldn't have said anything from the beginning.

Alternatively, they need to come up with some creative pricing strategies for cruises, like the icebreaker boats in Hokkaido, otherwise, it gives off a feeling of being left hanging because it's a foreign country. I wanted to see whales, but I should have gone to Okinawa instead. What a shame. The tour company really needs to think this through.

鯨に会えなかったの自然任せだからしょうがないけど、次回のチケット配ると言いながら、何も案内なし。
「旅行客だから、もう来ないだろう」みたいな感じが気分悪い。
それなら、初めから言わなきゃいいのに。
または北海道の流氷船みたいに、クルーズの場合の料金設定をする等の工夫しないと、異国だから的なやりっぱなし感広がるよ。
鯨見たかったけど、沖縄にすればよかった。

More fun than I imagined!! 想像以上の楽しさ!!

Reviewed by: なーたん

I participated in an early morning tour. On the bus ride there, the instructions were explained very clearly and cheerfully, and they taught us pressure points for motion sickness, which made the journey enjoyable. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so even with the pressure points and medication, I still felt sick. However, I was lucky that day to see both dolphins and sea turtles! Although we were told not to chase the dolphins, they actually approached us, and we had to move aside (laughs). Even when the dolphins were out of sight, I could hear their calls when I put my ears to the water, which felt quite mysterious. The sea turtles were far away, but I was still moved to see them. I couldn't eat the hamburger at the time because I was feeling sick, but it was delicious when I had it after returning home. I didn't bring much money, so I was disappointed that I couldn't order the photo data. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and if I have the chance, I would like to participate again while enduring the motion sickness.

イルカは追っかけてはいけないとのことでしたが、イルカの方から近づいてきてくれてこちらがよけるほどでした(笑)イルカの姿が見えなくても耳を海面に入れると近い時には鳴き声が聞こえていることがわかり不思議な感じでした。

A parade of dolphins, whales, and turtles! イルカ、クジラ、カメのオンパレード‼️

Reviewed by: あんこ

Due to heavy snow in Narita, my trip to Hawaii was cut short by one day. It was a pretty intense two days, but I think I was able to enjoy my time in Hawaii. I had actually booked a sunset cruise for the first day, but unfortunately, due to the flight cancellation and delays, I couldn't change it, and it was treated as a cancellation without any refund, which was really disappointing. It felt like my excitement was taken away.

And finally, I enrolled in Dolphin University! I heard there might be times when we can't meet the dolphins, which made me a bit anxious.

Now, we're on the boat! Departure! Shortly after we set sail, we spotted a whale spouting water, and then we got a message from the dolphin watching crew: "There they are! So many dolphins!" I think there were over 30 of them! They kept diving into the sea, and I was able to swim with them! It was so exciting! There were also mother and baby dolphins! We swam for quite a long time!

Next, we quickly found dolphins again, so we went snorkeling! The sea was beautiful! Wow! The turtle swam among us without being scared and popped up for air to say hello. I heard that touching it would incur a $70 fine!

What could have been a disastrous trip to Hawaii turned into an exhilarating experience, and I'm so grateful for that! You absolutely have to go! I highly recommend it!

成田大雪の為欠航になり、1日少ないハワイ旅行となりました。
かなりハードな2日間でしたがハワイ旅行満喫出来たかな〜
本当は初日サンセットクルージングも予約していたのですが残念ながら欠航遅延で変更も出来ずキャンセル扱いにもならず勿論返金も無くガッカリでした。

The weather wasn't very good, and we couldn't see any whales at all. The constant chatter in English became increasingly annoying, and when it was clear there were no whales, they even started making up false claims like "Look, something at 5 o'clock!" It turned into the worst way to pass the time. While it's understandable since we are dealing with nature, it was truly disappointing! I was really let down.

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>

I was able to see it! 見れました!

Reviewed by: hana

It was a stylish large cruise ship with little rocking, and even with a one-year-old, we were comfortable without any seasickness. Most importantly, I was thrilled to see the spouting, body, and tail perfectly.

オシャレな船内の大きな客船で、揺れも少なく、1歳児連れでしたが船酔いもなく快適でした。
そして何より、潮吹きも体も尻尾もバッチリ見れて感激しました

【冬季限定!1/3~3/21】ホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号 1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船!軽食&ドリンク付き<ワイキキ送迎可>

I was able to see it up close! 間近で見れました!

Reviewed by: タカハシ

This time, since there were four of us, we didn't use the shuttle service and took a taxi instead. It was just a little over $15, maybe not even $20.

I've participated before, but this time I was able to see it up close. I enjoyed being able to view Waikiki Beach from the sea, and it felt like a mix of whale watching and cruising. We even saw a rainbow, which was amazing.

今回は友人と4人だったので、送迎付きにせずタクシーで向かいました。
15$ちょっとだったかな?20$もかからないです。

以前にも参加したことがあるのですが、今回は間近で見れました。
ワイキキビーチを海から眺めることができて、ホエールウォッチングとクルージングみたいな感じで楽しめました。虹も見れて最高でした。

There are a lot of whales. クジラがたくさん

Reviewed by: プリン

Onboard, I enjoyed a buffet with roast beef and was able to relax on the sofa while watching several whales. The air conditioning was a bit strong, so it might be cold if you're wearing short sleeves and shorts. I would love to board again if I have the chance.

快適な船内で、ローストビーフなどのブッフェが楽しめて、ソファでくつろぎながらクジラが何頭も見れました。冷房が少し強いので、半袖短パンだと寒いかもしれないです。
また機会があれば乗船したいです。

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり> *48時間前までキャンセル無料

Fortunately, we saw eight manta rays. 運良く8枚のマンタ

Reviewed by: てらくん

A total of eight mantas came by, and I was able to see them up close. When mantas eat plankton, they do somersaults in the water, and they come up so close that I could even see inside their mouths.

全部で8枚のマンタがやってきて、しかも間近で見ることができました。マンタは餌のプランクトンを食べるときに水中で宙返りをするのですが、そのときに顔スレスレまで上がってくるので、マンタの口の中まで見ることができました

Maui Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina -Temporarily Not Available [Dec-May]

Outstanding Whale Watching Experience

Reviewed by: TravelNut

We did this tour during the whale mating season so we expected to see a whale or two but what we saw was amazing. At first the whales kept their distance but after awhile they began approaching the boat. Soon dozens of whales were surrounding the boat and showing off their dives, breaches and spouting. They were close enough to spout whale 'snot' on us!! The skipper said their nearness was very unusual and he prolonged the tour by 1/2 hour.

Outstanding trip. Very knowledgeable crew and really looked after everyone. The lady captain was superb, buffet great, but as an English lady I did have to ask for a knife and fork, which everyone found highly amusing.

Would definitely recommend, the best trip of my holiday.

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

There are so many sea turtles!!! 海亀がたくさん!!!

Reviewed by: ゆこん

I had a great time! I was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but thanks to the life jacket being fully inflated, I had enough buoyancy and it wasn't scary at all. If you've snorkeled before, you'll definitely enjoy it!

Since it's out in the ocean, there are mostly black fish, so if you're looking to see colorful fish, this might not be the best spot. However, there are plenty of sea turtles! I saw at least five! Watching them swim in groups was wonderful!

It seems to be a diving spot, as there were divers from diving tours below us. I was very satisfied watching the sea turtles and fish gracefully swimming in the deep sea! During the boat ride, I also got to see dolphins and whales, which was a nice touch for Hawaii!

Just a heads up, after snorkeling, the cruising can be a bit chilly with a wet body in the wind, so I recommend dressing warmly. Also, the boat goes quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. They also do some leisurely sailing with the sails up, which added a nice variety to the experience.

You can easily enjoy this without going far, right off the coast of Waikiki, so I definitely recommend it!

とっても楽しかったです!
足がつかない沖でのシュノーケルが不安でしたがライフジャケットをパンパンに膨らましたため、浮力があったので怖いことはなくシュノーケルしたことある方なら十分楽しめます!
沖なので、魚は黒い魚が多く色とりどりの魚を見たい方には向きません。
ただ、海亀はたくさんいます!5匹は見れました!群れて泳ぐ姿が良かったです!
ダイビングスポットなのか、下にはダイビングツアーのダイバーも。
深い海を優雅に泳ぐ海亀と魚に大満足です!
船で移動中には、イルカの背やホエールも見れてハワイ詰め合わせでした!
ただ、シュノーケル後にクルージングなので濡れた体が風にあたり寒いです。しっかり防寒することをお勧めします。
また、かなりスリリングに船を飛ばしてくれるので酔いやすい方は対策を。
ゆったり帆を張ってスローなクルージングもしてくれるので緩急あって飽きませんでした。
遠くに行かなくてもワイキキ沖で手軽に楽しめるのでぜひ!
