Unfortunately, I could only see a glimpse of the whale's tail spouting water from a distance, and that was it. Before disembarking, I received a ticket for free boarding on a later date as a form of recovery response. I believe the recovery ticket had a validity of about three months, but I didn't have the time to use it during my stay.
残念ながら、遠くで潮を吹いたクジラの尾びれが少しだけ見えましたが、それだけでした。
下船前の船内で、翌日以降に無料で乗船できるチケットをもらい、一応のリカバリー対応はありました。
リカバリーチケットは3カ月程度の有効期限が有ったと思いますが、滞在中に時間が取れず利用はしませんでした。

I was surprisingly able to meet wild dolphins very easily. The dolphins were resting, so we could swim closely with them during the group snorkeling! The guide's enthusiasm was also amazing.
びっくりするぐらい簡単に野生のイルカに会えました。イルカさんはお休み中なので集団シュノーケリングで間近で一緒に泳げる!

We boarded the cruise with the mindset that it would be lucky if we encountered anything, especially with our 6 and 3-year-old children. Once on board, we started with lunch. The lunch included pork curry (the potatoes were huge!) along with a salad and a bit of meat dish. There were cut fruits, which the kids happily enjoyed. After about 40 minutes on the cruise, there was an announcement to head to the deck to see the spouting! There were Japanese staff members, and all the announcements and explanations were provided in Japanese. We spent time on the deck enjoying the sea breeze and looking for whales ourselves. We saw spouts about ten times, and during two or three of those, parts of the whale's body were visible on the surface. The kids, who had caught on to the technique, were thrilled to spot them with their own eyes. We were also delighted to see a turtle swimming and a pod of dolphins just before returning to the port. It was a very satisfying experience!
6才3才の子供連れで、出会えたらラッキーだよね、くらいの気持ちで乗船。乗船したらまずはランチ。ランチはポークカレー(じゃがいもデカ!)と他、サラダとお肉料理が少々。カットフルーツがあり、子供たちは喜んで食べていました。乗船して40分くらいでしょうか。潮吹きが見られるからデッキへ!とアナウンス。日本人スタッフもいて、全ての案内、解説は日本語で聞けました。潮風とクルーズ、そして自分でホエールを発見するために、デッキで過ごしました。潮吹きは10回くらい、そのうち2、3回はホエールの体の一部も海面に見え、コツをつかんだ子供も自分の目で発見し、喜んでいました。ホヌが泳いでいたり、帰港直前にドルフィンが群れで泳いでいたりと、大満足でした!

I was a bit anxious because there were few Japanese people on the tour, but the cute Ali-chan kindly explained everything! I was excited to see a manta ray, and we encountered one fairly quickly after starting snorkeling! It was impressive, yet I felt it was really cute! At first, I was so excited to see the manta ray that I forgot about the cold, but since it was late January, it gradually got colder towards the end, and I couldn't stop shivering after getting back on the boat. However, it was a valuable experience to see a manta ray for the first time!
ツアーは日本人が少なく不安になりましたが、かわいいアリちゃんが優しく説明してくれました!
マンタに会えるかドキドキでしたが、シュノーケリング開始から割とすぐにマンタに会えました!迫力があって、でもすごくかわいく感じました!

It was my first time going whale watching. I joined with the mindset that it would be lucky if I got to see any, but I was able to see them multiple times. I learned that whales surface for air about once every 15 minutes, so once we spotted one, we could see it several times. It was a bit far away, but it was incredibly impressive. I'm glad I participated.

I participated in a prestigious university dolphin tour in late February! The weather was great, and the sea was a beautiful deep blue! I joined the tour on the second boat! The weather was nice, but it was definitely the right choice to go with the second boat since it was warmer! Most people rented wetsuits because the wind was strong, and I think having one is reassuring! I'm really glad I participated in the tour! We were able to see whales right from the start! Then, we immediately swam with a large group of dolphins! They were so cute and it was truly moving! After that, we encountered many turtles and there seemed to be seals as well! We had fun kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, and time flew by! I was worried about getting seasick, but the boat was stable! There were also small children participating, and they seemed to be having a great time! Above all, our guide, Juri, had such a bright personality and her talk was really enjoyable! The photographer was also a very interesting person! They took a lot of beautiful photos for us! I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

I was hoping to see maybe a blow or just a brief glimpse of a whale but we saw a whale show like I could never imagined. They called it the running of the bulls and it was whales breaching the water together jumping and showing off like they new we were there to see them. Breakfast was good a few more options for the price would have been appreciated, maybe bacon, potatoes, or some veggies and cheese to go with the scrambled eggs.

The day before was rainy, and there were strong winds on the day itself, so I understood to some extent, but I was unable to see any whales. The sea was rough, and even though it was a large ship, it was rolling and certainly not in a comfortable environment.
I understand that nature is unpredictable, so I can accept not seeing anything, but it left me feeling dissatisfied that there was no interaction at all on the ship or the return bus before we parted ways.
I at least wanted a word of acknowledgment.
前日雨、当日強風という日でしたのですある程度理解はしていましたが、クジラは見る事ができませんでした。
海はシケていたので、大型船ですがうねりながらと決して快適とも言えない環境でした。
見れなかったことに対しても自然が相手だからわかりますが、船でも、帰りのバスでも全く触れないまま解散と、なんだか不満だけが残りました。
せめて、ひと言欲しかったです。

I participated in a tour to see dolphins for the first time!! In the morning, they picked us up at the hotel, and the explanation began on the bus. The guide created a lively and fun atmosphere for all participants!! The dolphin school lesson was also very easy to understand.
At this time, we were asked about renting wetsuits. It was $10 per person, but since it was cold during this season, renting was definitely the right choice! By the way, everyone ended up renting one.
After getting on the boat, we spotted dolphins in about 20 minutes!! Even though it was my first time snorkeling with dolphins, I was truly moved to hear their voices! The blue sea and blue sky!! It was such a wonderful world. It seemed we found the dolphins early, and afterwards, we were taken to dolphin spots 2 or 3 more times, allowing us to swim with them. I'm glad I participated in the dolphin school. If I have the chance again, I will definitely join!
初めてイルカを見にいくツアーに参加しました!!朝はホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、バスの中で説明が始まります。ガイドさんは元気よく参加者全員が面白く楽しい雰囲気作りをして下さいます!!イルカ中学の授業もとてもわかりやすいです。
この時にウエットスーツのレンタルを聞かれます。お一人10ドルでしたがこの時期は寒いのでレンタルして正解でした!ちなみに全員の方がレンタルされました。
船に乗ってからは20分くらいでイルカを発見出来ました!!シュノーケリングでイルカと泳ぐのは初めてにも関わらずイルカの声が聞けて本当に感動しました!青い海に青い空!!本当に素敵な世界でした。早めにイルカを見つける事が出来たみたいでその後も2.3回イルカスポットに連れていって下さりイルカと泳ぐ事が出来ました。イルカ中学に参加して良かったです。また機会があったら絶対に参加させていただきます!

I was picked up by a large bus in front of the hotel and headed to Aloha Tower. It was reassuring to have a Japanese-speaking staff member accompanying us, which made the experience enjoyable. Before boarding, there was a commemorative photo opportunity, and I purchased it for $30 (which included a photo and a commemorative cover with a mount, and they also sent the file to my email). There were other options available for just the photo or just the file.
Once on board, we started lunch (a buffet) in a spacious indoor area with a great view (it had a bit of a party venue atmosphere). The meal included curry, chicken, cold pasta, and four types of fruit. Alcohol was available for an additional charge, but coffee and tea were free. I would have appreciated a few more menu options, but the taste was good.
We waited for whales on the covered deck on the top floor. There was an announcement when a whale was spotted. After it spouted water, we were able to see its tail sinking into the sea multiple times. It was smaller and farther away than I expected, and it was just a fleeting moment, but it was still quite moving. I also enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and planes taking off from the airport from the boat. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.
ホテル前で大型バスにピックアップされ、アロハタワーに向かう。日本語のスタッフ同行で安心して楽しめた。乗船前に記念撮影があり、記念に$30(写真と記念の表紙付き台紙、メールアドレスにファイルも送ってもらえた。他にも写真のみやファイルのみの選択肢があった)で購入した。乗船した客より見晴らしの良い広い室内(ちょっとしたパーディー会場の雰囲気)で昼食(ブッフェ)がスタート。食事はカレー・チキン・冷製パスタ・フルーツ4種など。アルコールは別途有料だったが、コーヒー・紅茶はフリー。もう少しメニューが多いと嬉しいが、味は良かった。最上階の屋根付きデッキでクジラを待つ。クジラが発見されるとアナウンスあり。潮吹き後、尾が海へ沈む姿を何回も見ることができた。思っていたより遠くで小さくて一瞬だが、それなりに感動だった。船から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドや空港から飛び立つ飛行機などの様子も見られて良かった。ハワイ旅行の一番の思い出となった。

We got to see at least two whales breaching numerous times and just playing, diving in and out of the water. It was so incredible. That early wake up was 100% worth it.

I wanted to experience interacting with dolphins, but I was a bit scared of diving into the ocean, so I searched for an optional tour and signed up for this one.
The experience of swimming while holding onto a dolphin's fin (being pulled along) is quite rare, and everyone in my group was really excited.
The instructor spoke mostly in English with a bit of broken Japanese, but they explained things slowly and clearly, making me feel that it was okay even if I wasn't confident in my English.
Although it's an additional cost, they take great photos for you.
After the dolphin experience, you can watch dolphin and sea lion shows or buy and eat hamburgers and hot dogs, but you might find yourself with a little extra time on your hands.
Overall, I was very satisfied.
イルカとふれ合う体験はしたいけど、海に潜るのはちょっと恐いと思いながらオプショナルツアーを探していて、このツアーに申し込みました。
イルカのヒレにつかまって泳ぐ(引っ張ってもらう)体験はなかなかできる体験ではなく、同じグループで参加した人たちも、みんな大はしゃぎでした。
インストラクターの人はカタコトの日本国の他は殆ど英語でしたが、ゆっくりわかりやすく話してくれて、英語に自信がなくても問題ないと感じました。
有料ですが、写真も上手に撮ってくれます。
イルカ体験の後は、イルカやアシカのショーを見たりハンバーガーやホットドッグを買って食べたりして過ごせますが、少し時間をもて余すかもしれません。
全体としては充分満足でした。

We loved everything. I am the biggest water and animal lover. The submarine was a great experience for us. Even though the reefs are all gone and they had boats, plans, and different materials placed as artificial reefs it just shows you how important our reefs are for sea life. It is a great learning experience to see the difference. How life is under water now after the way man has destroyed it and the ones who care enough to try to recover a small percent of what it would be if it had been left alone before people destroyed an environment for there own selfish reasons. Before booking I did read reviews of others who experienced the submarine tour before I decided to reserve our tour. Even though a lot of people stated they expected more and only gave it 1 and 2 stars I still decided to take the tour. I read Atlantis used partial of the proceeds to rebuild the reefs. If more people got together and helped rebuild what we all have destroyed then maybe there will be more fish and more variety everytime we come back. People should respect the homes of others, where animals live, and give to it instead of always taking. It was a great experience, it taught us to respect the beautiful nature in our world, to help rebuild, and stop destroying before there is nothing left to experience.

In the beginning, I was half resigned to the fact that I could only see the whales spouting from a distance, but then a mother and baby whale appeared quite close to us, which was moving. After that, we encountered a pod of about 7 to 9 whales. I was very satisfied. There was a naturalist on the boat who provided commentary through a microphone, which was enjoyable. I couldn't understand all the details, but when a whale appeared, they would say, "○ o'clock!" and "left! right!" so it was fine.
*At the time of booking, it was noted that there would be an "English guide," but when I arrived at the port for check-in, a Japanese guide was waiting for us. I was grateful for the prior explanation about why whales gather around Maui, their habits, and the best viewing points.*
前半は遠くで潮を吹いている姿がちらほら見られるくらいで、なかなか近くでは見られないものなんだなと半分あきらめていたところ、親子クジラがかなり近い距離に現れてくれて感動。その後も、7〜9頭ほどのクジラの群れに遭遇。大満足でした。船にはナチュラリストの方が乗船していて、ずっとマイクで解説をしてくれて楽しかったです。細かいところまでは理解できませんでしたが、クジラが現れると「○ o'clock!(○時の方向)!」「left! right!」と言ってくれるので、大丈夫です。
※予約時点では「英語ガイド」と記載されていましたが、当日チェックイン先の港へ行くと日本人のガイドさんが待っていてくれました。なぜクジラがマウイ島に集まるのか、クジラの習性、見るポイントなど事前に説明してくださってありがたかったです。

The sea was quite rough, but I was able to encounter dolphins and swim with them right away. I also got to see sea turtles, and I was very satisfied.
海は結構荒れてましたが、すぐにイルカと遭遇でき一緒に泳ぐことができました。ウミガメも見ることができて、大満足です。
It is said that there are happy moments when you can see sea turtles.
We are all very pleased that you were satisfied!

The underwater scooter experience is my second time, but no matter how many times I try it, it never fails to impress. Many fish came close, and a turtle also appeared. My whole family enjoyed it very much, and we look forward to doing it again next time.
水中スクーター体験は、2回目ですが何度体験しても、感動します。魚もたくさん近くに来てくれて、亀も来ました。家族みんなとても楽しめ、次回も再度お願いいたします。

This is completely unacceptable. It's understandable that we couldn't see any whales, but the complete lack of announcements was extremely unkind. The worst! When I called to reboard, the rude response from the Japanese staff was the lowest! If there was even one thing to praise, I would mention it, but there is absolutely nothing, only criticism! I am very disappointed.
全く話にならない。クジラは見られなかったのは、そういうのはしょうがない事だが、アナウンスが全くなくて、不親切極まりない。最低!電話で再乗船申し込みをしたら日本人の感じの悪い対応は最低!一つでも褒める事があれば書くけど、全くなくて貶すだけ!非常に残念に思う。

Great things were the weather, water and warmth of the staff. Whale sightings were unfortunately few and at a great distance such that mostly splashes and puffs of water were seen only. Boat was nice, top deck offers the best views. Kids had fun.
