I participated in a trip with my mother and daughter. We arrived at Aloha Tower right at 8:00, but we couldn't board immediately and had to wait outside. The port's restroom was locked and unavailable for use.
The large ship has four decks, and after boarding, there was an explanation of whale watching in English, along with the offering of pineapple banana bread, coffee, tea, and water. I recommend going to get your food early as there is a line.
It took a while before we spotted any whales, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making the cruise satisfying. After a while, we saw a whale spouting water, and we could see its tail and dorsal fin. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any big jumps.
The trip was on a Saturday, and we were able to disembark around 11:00, which allowed us to take a taxi to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market.
母、娘の二人旅で参加しました。
8時ちょうどにアロハタワーに着きましたがすぐには乗船できず外で待ち時間がありました。港のトイレは鍵が掛かっており利用できませんでした。
4階まである大きな船で、乗船後英語でホエールウォッチングの説明がありパイナップルバナナブレッドとコーヒー・紅茶・お水の提供があります。並ぶので早めに取りに行くことをおすすめします。
沖へ出るまでなかなかくじらは現れなかったですが、海から見えるワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドが美しくクルーズとして満足できました。
しばらくすると潮を吹いているクジラがおり、尾びれや背びれが見えました。残念ながら大ジャンプは見られませんでした。
参加日は土曜日で、11時頃には下船できたのでタクシーでカカアコファーマーズマーケットへ行く事ができました。
日焼けするので日焼け止め必須です
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your daughter and mother. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. We hope to see you again next time, and it would be wonderful to witness a whale jump. We look forward to welcoming you back.

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I appreciated that this boat is large and has minimal rocking. We encountered whales a few times (and dolphins too). They explain which direction to look by comparing it to a clock, which makes it easy to understand. I also thought it was a nice cruise to see Waikiki and Diamond Head. However, since we didn't see the whales up very close, it's better not to have too high expectations in that regard.
乗り物酔いしやすい体質なので、こちらの船は大きく、揺れが少ないのがよかったです
クジラには何回か遭遇できました(イルカにも)
時計に例えてどっちの方角にいるかいってくださるのでわかりやすいです
ワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドをみるクルージングとしてもありだと思いました
クジラはすごく近くで見られた訳ではないので、その辺は期待しすぎない方がよいです

It was unfortunate that we encountered wind and rain during the rainy season.
First, everyone freely brought pineapple banana cake, coffee, and tea from the front of the first floor and enjoyed them at their seats. The cinnamon-flavored pineapple banana cake was very delicious.
After that, we listened to an explanation about whales using a translation app on our phones. We were then allowed to move freely up to the fourth floor of the ship, so we carefully made our way to the top observation deck and enjoyed the view.
Fortunately, the rain wasn't too heavy, so we were able to enjoy the scenery of Honolulu. We could see Diamond Head and the cityscape from the sea side. It was particularly meaningful for me since I had hiked up Diamond Head the day before on the same optional tour with Veltra, which took about 30 minutes.
The waves were high, and although we couldn't see the whales, we were able to spot their spouts several times. We saw the spouts relatively close by, and all the passengers were excitedly pointing at them. If the weather had been better, we might have seen even more.
The shuttle service was only available in the morning, allowing us to spend the afternoon leisurely, which was nice.
雨季の風と雨の日に当たってしまったのが残念でした。
まずは各自、自由に一階前方にあるパイナップルバナナケーキやコーヒー、紅茶を持って来て、座席で頂きました。シナモンの効いたパイナップルバナナケーキはとても美味しかったです。
そのあとクジラについての説明を携帯の翻訳アプリを使って聞きました。その後は船の4階まで自由に移動してよいとのことだったので、船の揺れに気をつけながら最上の展望階に上がり、眺めていました。
ただ雨は大半は大丈夫だったので、ホノルルの風景は楽しめました。ダイヤモンドヘッドや街並が海から側から眺められます。ダイヤモンドヘッドは前日同じベルトラさんのオプショナルツアーで、30分かけて登った後だったので感慨深いものがありました。
波が高く、クジラは姿は確認出来なかったのですが、潮吹きを何度か見られました。割と近くで何度か潮吹きが見られたので、乗船客の皆んなが指を差して盛り上がっていました。天候に恵まれれば更に良く見えたかもしれません。
送迎付きは午前中だけで体験できるので、午後も有効にゆったり過ごせるので楽でした。
If you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.
船酔いする方は酔いどめがあった方が良いかもしれません。

I participated in a tour that ended in the morning. The weather wasn't very good, and it was a bit chilly, but I didn't feel as cold as I thought I would when I got into the water. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and I encountered a turtle a couple of times. Additionally, a little further away, there was a pod of dolphins, making it a satisfying tour with a variety of experiences in a short time. Next time I come to Hawaii, I would like to recommend it to my friends and participate together.
午前中で終了するツアーでしたので参加してみました。余り良い天候ではなく、少し肌寒い気温でしたが海に入ると思ったより寒く感じませんでした。シュノーケリングでは様々な色の魚がたくさんいて、カメさんにも2度程遭遇デキました。更に少し先の方にはイルカの群れがいてたりと短時間で色々と満足デキたツアーでした。次回、ハワイに来た時には友人達に勧めて一緒に参加したいです。
It's a short time underwater, but you'll be swimming with fins. Since the kicking motion is not something you're used to, it can be quite tiring, so it's a good workout! (laughs)

The weather was nice, and the wind was calm, so I didn't feel seasick at all. As soon as we headed out, we were able to see a mother and baby whale. Although the staff only spoke English, they were very service-oriented and moved us to another area to search for and show us another whale. I had hoped to enjoy the cruising even if we didn't see any whales, but it turned out to be the best whale watching experience!
天気も良く風も穏やかで船酔いも全くしませんでした。沖に出てすぐに親子のくじらを見られました。英語のみですがスタッフもサービス精神があり、また別のエリアに移動して別のくじらも探して見せてくれました。

I participated in a sunset cruise. Right after we set sail, we were lucky enough to spot a whale, but since the boat was large, we observed it from a bit of a distance. It might be good to have binoculars.
The cheerful captain explained various things, but everything was in English. I think those who understand English will enjoy it.
After observing the whales, we headed near Diamond Head. They took pictures of us with the mountain in the background. After that, we slowly returned to the harbor while watching the sunset. The sunset from the sea was breathtaking, and I was very moved.
Once the sun set, we returned to the harbor and disbanded.

I made a reservation for the sunset cruise, and I think the meeting place will be easy to find once you locate Prince Waikiki. When I went, there were also boats docked, which made it clear. I recommend arriving a bit earlier than the meeting time to secure good seats. Being at the very front might give you the best view in the end.
I participated at the end of January, and it started to get cold on the boat, so a jacket is a must. I brought a sweatshirt, but it was still chilly.
The boat rocked quite a bit, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was fine.
We encountered whales relatively early on! Although they were at a distance, we saw them multiple times. One even jumped high, but I missed it… just saw the splash.
They make sure to show you the sunset, so the disbanding time might vary. In our case, we were about 30 minutes late. (Please be cautious when scheduling your next plans.)
By the way, it mentioned snacks, but we didn’t receive any…
サンセットのコースで予約しましたが、集合場所はプリンスワイキキが見つかればすぐに見つかると思います。私が行った時は船も停船していたのでわかりやすかったです。集合時間よりも早めに行って並んでおいた方が良い席を確保できると思います。一番先頭が結局のところ一番見やすいかも。
1月末に参加しましたが、だんだん船上は寒くなってくるので上着必須です。私はトレーナー持っていきましたがそれでも寒かった。
結構揺れましたが、酔い止め飲んでおいたので大丈夫でした。
わりと早い段階からクジラに出会えました!遠目ですが何度も見れました。一度大ジャンプしたのですが、見逃しました…飛沫だけ…。
太陽の沈む時間までしっかりと見せてくれるので、解散時間はバラつきが出るかも。私達の時は30分ほど遅れました。(次の予定を入れる時はご注意下さい)
そう言えばスナックって書いてあったけど配られなかったな…
Please gather at the meeting place early, and plan the following schedule with some buffer time. A jacket is essential, and those who are prone to motion sickness should take anti-nausea medication.

I boarded the cruise that departed at 10:30. About 10 minutes after setting sail, while we could still see the streets of Waikiki, there was an English announcement saying, "Look towards 3 o'clock," and we spotted a whale's spout. We changed spots here and there to see whales… whales… whales… Mostly, we caught glimpses of parts of their bodies coming out of the water, and if we were lucky, we could also see the whale's tail.
At one point, there was an announcement saying, "There are dolphins!" and we were able to see a pod of dolphins as well! For almost the entire two hours, we were able to see something, which felt like a great deal. The view of Diamond Head from the sea was also beautiful!
The boat rocked quite a bit. One adult on board got seasick, and my one-year-old daughter threw up… Even though the staff provided paper towels and water, I think it would be wise to be well-prepared for seasickness (paying attention to meals beforehand, bringing drinks, and having a change of clothes ready).

またある地点では「いるかがいるよ!」というアナウンスがあり、イルカの群も見られました!
2時間のほとんどで何かしらを観ることができて、とってもお得でした。海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めもまたいいです!

On my way back to the mainland U.S. via Hawaii, I had a 14-hour wait for my flight. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I heard that this winter season is perfect for whale watching, so I joined a sunset tour. I participated alone, but I had a great time. The guide was entertaining (laughs).
It would have been even better if we could have gotten closer to the whales, but perhaps because the boat was larger than the smaller ones, we observed from a bit further away. However, I was very satisfied to see the whales' tails. Unexpectedly, I also saw two dolphins. The sunset was beautiful and soothing. I'm glad I participated!!

もっとクジラに近づければなお良かったのですが、他の小型船より大型だったためか少し遠目からの見学でしたが、クジラのテイルも見れて大満足です。思いがけず、イルカも2匹見れました。サンセットも美しくて癒されました。参加して良かったです!!

Even though we couldn't see any whales, the view of the city from the sea was wonderful, and that alone was a great experience. However, we were lucky enough to see whales multiple times, and I was able to take a lot of photos, which made me very satisfied. It was a great memory to share with the international guests who were on board with us.
クジラが見れなくても海の上からの街並みが素晴らしくそれだけでもいい経験だねと話していましたが、クジラが何度も現れてくれてたくさん写真を撮ることができ大満足です
一緒に乗り合わせた海外の方と盛り上がって見れていい思い出です
It was such a comfortable time that I didn't even need motion sickness medication. Since it was past noon, many people brought cookies and enjoyed eating them while watching.
酔い止めもいらないほど快適な時間でした
お昼を過ぎるのでクッキーなど持って行って食べながら見てる方が多かったです
アロハ!
アトランティスクルーズのマジェスティック号での素晴らしい冒険についてお聞きできて嬉しいです。多くの人が見ることのできないオアフの一部を探検できたことを楽しんでいただけたようで、驚くべき海洋生物を見られたことに興奮しています!これは本当に一生に一度の体験であり、少数の人だけが目にすることができます。また、スタッフが情報豊かで親切だったことをお聞きできて嬉しいです。私たちと経験を共有していただき、アロハの精神に参加していただきありがとうございます。将来、私たちの潜水艦やアトランティスクルーズのマジェスティック号で再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。もう一度アトランティスの冒険、すなわち水中の旅、サンセットクルーズ、または季節のクジラ観察クルーズをお楽しみください。ぜひ、#atlantishawaiiで私たちのソーシャルメディアをフォローしてください。ア・フイ・ホウ(また次回まで)。
Aloha !
What an amazing adventure aboard the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed exploring a part of Oahu that most people don’t get to see and are excited you saw some astonishing marine life! That is truly a lifetime experience only few can witness. We're also happy to hear the staff was informative and nice. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and taking part in the Aloha spirit. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).

I participated in the sunset dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu for my honeymoon, marking my first cruise in 42 years (laughs). As I boarded, I reminisced about the good old days when we took photos on the deck. After listening to the whale watching explanation and enjoying some tea and cake, we headed to the deck. We first admired the stunning views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, and soon the crew spotted a whale and informed us. We could only see its back, but it was spouting water. After that, we were able to see it several more times. The crew was very friendly, the weather was great, and it turned out to be a comfortable and enjoyable cruise, creating wonderful memories of Hawaii. Next time, I hope to bring my grandchildren along as well.
スターオブホノルルではサンセットディナークルーズに新婚旅行で参加し、42年ぶりのクルーズ参加でした(笑)
懐かしくデッキで写真を撮りあった若かりし頃を思い出しながら乗船し、ウォッチングの説明を聞き、お茶とケーキを頂いたあと、デッキへ、まずは海からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの素晴らしい景色を眺めながらしばらくするとクルーの方がクジラを発見、教えてくれました。背中しかみれませんでしたが、潮を吹いていました。その後何度も見ることができました。
クルーの方はとてもフレンドリーで天気もよく快適なクルーズで楽しいハワイの思い出になりました。次回は孫たちも一緒に乗船したいと思っています。
I don't think there's much worry about seasickness since the large ship doesn't feel rocky. It might be a good idea to bring binoculars.
大型船で揺れも感じないので船酔いの心配はあまりないかと思います。
双眼鏡を持参して参加してもいいかもしれません
Thank you very much for joining our cruise after 42 years. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. Our entire staff is honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We hope you will bring your grandchildren along next time. Our team looks forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のクルーズに42年ぶりのクルーズ参加でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができたことをスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。
次回は是非お孫たちも一緒にまたお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

I was looking for a turtle snorkeling tour and came across this company. Since I was traveling alone, I wanted to avoid overly crowded snorkeling tours, and this company had great reviews, so I decided to go with them. The tour guides were incredibly friendly and fun. I’m especially grateful to Francesco, who guided me since I’m not very confident in swimming. I’ll definitely recommend this to my friends! Thank you so much!

I participated in an English-only tour because the Japanese-speaking reservations were fully booked. The experience itself was impressive, as there are many similar tours in the area, and manta rays regularly approached us. The staff was also very accommodating. However, the time spent floating in the sea was quite long, and it can be tough if you don't have the stamina to hold onto the float. My wife had to retire midway. There were no unnecessary services, so it was relatively inexpensive, and it might be a good option for those looking for this kind of experience.
日本語対応の予約がいっぱいだっだので、英語オンリーのツアーに参加しました。
体験自体は周辺にたくさんの同じようなツアーがあるため、マンタが定期的に近づいてきますので迫力がありました。スタッフも対応が良かったです。
ただ、結構海に浮かんでいる時間が長いのと、浮き輪に捕まっている体力が無いと厳しいです。嫁さんは途中でリタイヤしました。
余計なサービスもないので比較的安価でしたし、このような内容を希望する人はいいかもしれません。
The boat is small, so it sways quite a bit. For those who are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. Since all explanations and instructions are in English, I think those w
船が小さいので、結構揺れます。船酔いに弱い人は酔い止め必須です。
説明や指示が全て英語なので、英語が出来ない人は避けたほうがいいと思います。

This was our family's first time in Hawaii and first time whale watching. The naturalist was very knowledgeable, and the boat had multiple decks for all the passengers to see the surroundings. My kids were very excited to see the whale blowing water and tail slapping. A great experience!

Sunscreen is essential because I get sunburned.
