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＞

The staff's attentiveness is wonderful! スタッフさんの気配りが素敵！

Reviewed by: aya

It was a tour to swim with dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. However, they took us far to search for them, which is not a usual route, and they entertained us with dances, so we didn't feel bored at all.

During snorkeling, we got to see a sea turtle! Although we couldn't swim together, we were able to see dolphins up close, which is a rare sight.

For me, the highlight was that the captain let me sit in the driver's seat; I was truly happy to have such a precious experience! ❤️

On the way back, since we couldn't swim with the dolphins, they gave us a half-price voucher and shared a video taken with a drone, showing the staff's wonderful consideration. Thank you very much!

イルカと泳ぐツアーでしたが、残念ながらイルカと会えなかったんです。でもいつもは行かない遠いところまで探しに行ってくれたり、ダンスをして楽しませてくれたりと退屈せずに過ごせました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメさんに会えました！そして、一緒に泳ぐことはできないけれど、滅多に見れないイルカを間近でも見れました。
わたしにとっては何より、船長さんが操縦席に座らせてくれたこと、こんな貴重な体験ができるなんて本当に幸せでした！❤️

帰りのバスでは、イルカと泳げなかったので半額になるバウチャーをくれたり、ドローンで撮影した動画をくれたりと本当にスタッフさんの気配りが素敵でした。
ありがとうございました！

Whale watching on a luxury boat. 豪華船でのホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: とーちゃん

I didn't know that winter whales come around the Big Island until I went there. I really wanted to see them, so I quickly signed up for a tour after arriving and participated with my family. I had two concerns: getting to the boarding area from the hotel and seasickness, but thanks to this tour, I managed to get through it safely. When traveling to an unfamiliar destination, even if you know the port's name, you can be troubled by not knowing the distance from the hotel or the means of transportation, but it was a great decision to have them pick us up at the hotel! Additionally, the boat was luxurious and hardly swayed, so I didn't experience the seasickness I was worried about. On top of that, I was able to see dolphins and whales, which was wonderful!

ハワイ島に行くまで冬期くじらがハワイ島周辺に来ていることを知らなかった。
是非見てみたいと思い、現地に行ってから急きょ申し込みをし、家族で参加した。
ホテルから乗船場までの足と船酔いの二つの懸念があったがこのツアーのお陰で無事乗り切れた。
慣れない旅行先では港の地名を知っても、ホテルからの距離や交通手段もわからずこまるがホテルでピックアップしてもらえたので正解!! また船は豪華船でほとんど揺れもなく心配した船酔いもなかった。
その上で、いるかやクジラも見ることができたのでよかった!

I wanted to see more!! もっと見たかった‼

Reviewed by: あちゅこちゃん

This is my second winter in Hawaii, and I have always wanted to go whale watching. After some deliberation, I chose a tour that included breakfast. We had our meal as soon as we boarded. I felt like I could have used more vegetables in the meal.

After eating, we waited on the deck for the whales to appear. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful! This was my first time seeing it. I was excited, holding my camera and gazing at the ocean.

When the captain announced, "I have good news," everyone hurried to the indicated direction… the boat tilted! But I kept looking at the surface of the water. I was expecting to see a dynamic adult whale, so I was a bit disappointed by the cute little whale's spout and tail, but we definitely saw it. I wanted to see more, but it was time to head back to the port. I know I can't expect to see a magnificent sight on a one-time cruise, so I would like to join another opportunity next time.

I opted for the pickup service, but I didn't really need it. They arrived very early, and we left our hotel right away, but we were made to wait a long time at the next hotel, and the air conditioning in the car was too cold. I thought it would have been better to take a taxi.

The tour was conducted entirely in English, but the crew was kind, and even though I only understood a few words, I still enjoyed it.

Please continue to plan fun tours!

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

Dolphins were nearby! It was fun! イルカが近くに！楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: にのにの

I was able to see dolphins swimming nearby.

Whether you encounter a pod of dolphins depends on luck that day, but within just 10 minutes of going out to sea, we spotted a group! I immediately jumped in and swam for over an hour. That day, there were many dolphins swimming around, and I was able to see them up close multiple times.

The dolphins gracefully swimming right at my feet were beautiful and adorable. When I said "Aloha!" in a high voice underwater, they responded with squeaks. Some dolphins even showcased their skills by jumping out of the water and spinning around, and I fell in love with these gentle and playful creatures.

I wore my phone in a waterproof case around my neck while entering the water, so I was able to take photos and videos. The videos are fun to watch later, and if they turn out well, you can take screenshots, so I recommend it. The guide took photos with a special camera, and after the tour, you can purchase the data, so if you want beautiful pictures, I think it's a good idea to have the guide take plenty for you.

After watching the dolphins, we had lunch on the boat and went back into the sea. That day, I was able to see a sea turtle swimming for a brief moment. I also saw beautiful fish and got to ride on a canoe and a surfboard. I thought it was a great deal since you can do so many things in one tour.

I was anxious because my English is not very good, but there was a Japanese guide, and all the other crew members were cheerful and fun, so it was fine.

However, the sea in February was cold, and the weather wasn't great, so I rented a wetsuit before getting on the boat. Also, since I hadn't properly swum in over 10 years and was snorkeling for the first time, snorkeling for over an hour was quite challenging for me. I had to swim to where the dolphins were myself, and if I fell behind, I wouldn't be able to see them, so I was desperately trying to keep up with the guide, which took a lot of energy. Since I usually don't exercise at all, it was a good workout!

It was tough, but it was a very enjoyable tour and will be a great memory of Hawaii, so I highly recommend it!

近くで泳ぐイルカの姿を見ることができました。

イルカの群れに出会えるかはその日の運次第･･･ということでしたが、海に出て10分もかからずイルカの群れを発見！
すぐに海に飛び込み、1時間以上海を泳ぎ続けました。
この日はイルカの群れがたくさん泳いでおり、何度も近くで見ることができました。

自分の足元で優雅に泳ぐイルカ達はとても綺麗で可愛かったです。
海の中で「アロハ～」と高い声で言うとキューキュー鳴いて反応してくれました。
水面から飛んでクルクル回る技を披露してくれるイルカもいて、優しくてサービス精神旺盛なイルカが大好きになりました。

防水ケースに入れた携帯を首にかけて海に入ったので、写真や動画を撮ることもできました。
動画は後で見ても楽しいし、綺麗に撮れたらスクショもできるのでオススメです。
ガイドさんが専用カメラで写真を撮ってくれて、ツアー終了後データを購入することもできるので綺麗な写真が欲しい方はガイドさんにいっぱい撮ってもらうといいと思います。

イルカ達を見たあとは船上で昼食を食べ、再び海へ。
この日は一瞬ですが、泳いでいるウミガメを見ることができました。
他にも綺麗なお魚を見たり、カヌーやサーフボードに乗ったり。
いろんなことが1度のツアーでできるのでお得だなと思いました。

英語が全然ダメなので不安でしたが、日本人のガイドの方がいるし、他のクルーも皆さん陽気で楽しい方ばかりなので大丈夫でした。

ただ、2月の海は寒く天気も良くなかったので船に乗る前にウェットスーツをレンタルしました。
あと、10年以上まともに泳いでいない、シュノーケリング初めての自分にとっては1時間以上続けてのシュノーケリングは結構大変でした。
イルカの群れのいる場所に向かって自分で泳がないといけず、出遅れるとイルカを見ることができないのでガイドさんについていくのに必死でかなり体力使いました。
普段全く運動しないのでいい運動になりました！

大変でしたが、とても楽しいツアーでハワイのいい思い出になるのでオススメです！

On February 25, 2017, I went on an overseas trip with my wife for the first time in 30 years to go whale watching. I thought it would be lucky if we saw any whales, but to my surprise and amazement, humpback whales appeared one after another.

Actually, I had previously gone to see whales at Cape Shionomisaki on the Kii Peninsula in Japan, where I saw dolphins and pilot whales, but this was my first time seeing such large humpback whales. It was magnificent and truly moving.

The trick is to look out at the sea and spot the spouts; then you can see their backs, and finally, the tails. However, taking pictures with a mobile phone is quite challenging. I ended up purchasing a photo from a professional photographer on board for $20!

I highly recommend this experience for nature lovers.

Since I was going during whale season, I made a last-minute reservation on a day when I had free time. I was worried because I heard that people who went two days prior didn't see any whales, but we saw plenty! When a whale appeared, they made it easy to understand by indicating the direction using the hands of a clock. We got to see whales swimming and jumping energetically, and I'm really glad I made the reservation. During the trip, we enjoyed views of Oahu from the sea, experiencing scenery that we usually can't see. We could depart leisurely in the morning, and even without breakfast included, we had plenty of fun on the water. I definitely want to participate again next year.

せっかくクジラの時期に行くのだからと予定が空いている日に直前の予約を入れました。
2日前にホエールウォッチングに参加した人は、見られなかったと聞いていたので、心配していましたが、たくさん見られました！
クジラが現れると分かりやすく、時計の針に例えて方角を教えてくれました。
泳いでいるクジラも、元気に跳ぶクジラも見れ、本当に予約してよかったと思います。
移動中は海からオアフを眺められ、普段見ることのできない風景を楽しみました。
朝はゆっくり出発できますし、海の上を楽しむために、朝食は付けなくても十分楽しめます。

On the morning of March 10th, I went with breakfast included. It was a buffet-style meal, and I thought I would take a little bit of everything like in Japan, but there was only one type of bread, one type of muffin, white rice, scrambled eggs, sausages, and cereal (laughs). The American in front of me piled the same food high on their plate, and I thought, "If you put that much on, you can't add more!" but it seems that was the right approach (laughs). I don't eat a lot in the morning, so it was fine, but I couldn't help but laugh at the limited variety ((´∀｀*)).

As for the main event, the whale just kept blowing water and showing its back a little, and I didn't even get to see the sea turtles that you always spot when you're out at sea... it left me feeling a bit disappointed. However, the view of Honolulu from the ocean was great ( ◠‿◠ ).

３月１０日午前中、朝食付きで行ってきました。
ブュッフェタイプの食事で、日本のつもりでちょっとずつ色々取ろう！と思ったら。パン一種、マフィン一種、白米、スクランブルエッグ、ウィンナー、シリアルだけでした(笑)私の前のアメリカ人が同じものを山盛りお皿に盛り、あんなに入れたら数乗せられないじゃない？と見てたけどアレが正解だった模様(笑)朝からモリモリは食べないから良いんだけど、種類の少なさに笑っちゃいました((´∀｀*))

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＞

I may never encounter a manta this close again. 二度とこんな近くでマンタには出会えないかも

Reviewed by: サトル

On the day we arrived at the Big Island, we joined a tour.

It took just under an hour from the hotel to reach the boat dock. After borrowing wetsuits and changing, we set off.

While on the boat heading to the point, it was sunset time. The sunset viewed from the boat was exceptional.

As for the mantas, they started to appear as the sun set and it got darker. They swam right up close to my stomach and face.

They make a full circle to eat plankton, so you can see both above and below the mantas.

I heard that you can hardly see mantas on Oahu. Definitely try to encounter mantas on the Big Island.

As for swimming, it was easy since I was just holding onto the grip bar. They also provided a bar to rest my feet on, which made it even more comfortable.

Also, it gets quite cold on the way back. Once you return to the boat, it's best to take off the wetsuit right away and wrap yourself in a large bath towel or put on a T-shirt.

The boat moves at a pretty fast speed on the way back, so it gets colder than on the way out.

ハワイ島についた日にツアーに参加しました。

ホテルから１時間弱で、ボート乗り場に到着。
ウエットスーツを借りて着替えてから、出発です。

船に乗って、ポイントに向かう途中でサンセットの時間になりました。
船から見るサンセットは格別でした。

そして、マンタは　というと、陽が沈み暗くなるにつれマンタがやってきました。
自分のお腹や顔スレスレのところまでやってきて泳いでくれました。

プランクトンを食べるために、ぐるっと一周するので、マンタの上も下も眺めることができます。

オアフ島では、ほとんどマンタは見れないそうです。
ぜひ、ハワイ島でマンタに出会ってださい。

泳ぎの方ですが、握りバーにつかまっているだけなので、楽ちんです。
途中で、足を乗せるバーも用意してくれたので、さらに楽ちんでした。

あと、帰りは結構寒くなります。
船に戻ったらすぐウェットスーツを脱いで、
大きなバスタオルにくるまったり、Tシャツを着た方が良いです。

帰りもすごいスピードで船は動きますので、行きよりも寒くなります。

Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the family was satisfied to see Diamond Head, which can't be seen from Waikiki Beach. The breakfast was also decent.

当日の天気はまずまず。前日にヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのホテルのバルコニーから、クジラが見えたことから『昨日見れたから期待大！』という気持ちで迎えのバスに乗り込みました。

Don't have too high expectations. 期待し過ぎず

Reviewed by: ananas

I went on the cruise when my parents visited from Japan in mid-February, but we didn't see any whales. However, when I went again with my husband at the beginning of March, they appeared frequently. So, is the probability 50%? I heard that the chances are better around February to March. Also, whales tend to be less active in the morning.

I debated whether to include breakfast or not, but since it was just a 2-hour early bird cruise, it didn't have a luxurious atmosphere, and breakfast wasn't necessary (I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but quite a few people brought snacks and drinks). The view from Waikiki to Diamond Head is fantastic. Therefore, my parents were quite satisfied even though they didn't see any whales. The kids seemed to get bored, which was a bit unfortunate.

I think it's best to consider the primary purpose of the cruise as enjoying the scenery, and if you happen to see whales, that's just a bonus.

2月半ばに両親が日本から遊びに来た時に乗りましたが、鯨は現れず、再乗船券をもらって3月頭に夫と乗ったときにはバンバン現れました。ですので確率は50%？
確率の高さとしては2月～3月頃が良いと聞きました。
あと朝は鯨があまり活動しないとか。。

朝食付きか無しで悩みましたが、たったの2時間のアーリーバードなので豪華クルーズという雰囲気もあまりなく、朝食無しで十分でした（良いのか悪いのか分かりませんが、結構みなさん、スナックや飲み物を持ち込んでいました）。ワイキキからダイアモンドヘッドにかけても眺めは素晴らしいです。ですので、両親も鯨が見れなくてもけっこう満足していました。お子さんたちは飽きてしまってかわいそうでしたけれど。
単に船に乗って景色が見れるのを第一目的として、鯨が見れたらめっけもん程度に考えて乗られたらよいと思います。

I couldn't see it. 見れなかった。

The rain and wind were strong, and unfortunately, the weather was not good. The captain announced that a whale had been spotted, but I couldn't see it at all. It's unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done.

雨風共に強く、あいにくのお天気でした。キャプテンはクジラを発見したと放送がありましたが、まったくわかりませんでした。仕方ありませんが残念でした。

Wonderful

Reviewed by: Bob and Jabez

My 15 year old son and I had a wonderful sail and snorkel trip. The 3 person crew took great care of us and we got to see turtles, fish and whales. Very thankful for the cruise. Highly recommend them.
