Overall, the cruising time is too long. While we could see the whales well, the time spent getting there and returning was excessive.
全体的には、クルージング時間が長すぎる。クジラはよく見えたが、見るまでの時間や

I boarded the submarine expecting an underwater stroll in the waters of Hawaii, but to be honest, I was disappointed. The water was murky, making it hard to see, and my whole family got bored halfway through. Additionally, the commentary in Japanese was repetitive, which eventually made us feel sleepy. The father from the family next to us fell asleep partway through. I wish they had considered different diving spots when planning the tour.
潜水艦に乗ってハワイの海中散歩を期待して乗船しましたが、正直がっかりしました。海中が濁っていてよく見えず、家族全員途中で飽きてしまい、また日本語での解説も同じことの繰り返しで最後は眠気を催しました。隣の家族連れのお父さんは途中から眠ってしまいました。もう少し潜る場所を考えてツアーを企画してほしかったです。

I was able to see a giant manta up close! The manta was so close that it almost touched my wetsuit, and it spun around slowly several times. The sight of its wide-open mouth was so impressive that I felt like I might get sucked in. I also participated in a dolphin tour in addition to this one, and both were amazing experiences!!
On the tour, we arrived at the manta spot by boat before sunset, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset as well. After sunset, we entered the water and waited for the manta to come while holding onto a bar with LED lights. First, a lot of plankton gathered, and then, after a while, a large manta appeared to eat the plankton. I was moved by the intensity that was different from an aquarium!! I’ll include a video I shot with my GoPro during the tour (the manta appears in the middle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAtyJxeQiUw).
Although the sea was dark, the captain was always watching from the boat, and since we were holding onto the bar, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
The night sea can get cold even with a wetsuit, so it might be a good idea to bring a warm hoodie or light down jacket to wear after swimming. If you're worried about seasickness, it might be good to have some motion sickness medication as well.
The fantastical sight of the large mantas is still etched in my memory. My husband was also very surprised that something he had only dreamed of and thought could only be experienced through diving could be experienced while snorkeling! I’m really glad I participated in this tour on the Big Island.
巨大なマンタを本当に間近でみることができました!マンタは私のウエットスーツに触れそうなほどの距離で、何度かゆっくりと回転しました。マンタの大きく開いた口に吸い込まれるのではないかと思うほど大迫力でした。このツアーの他にイルカツアーにも参加しましたが、どちらも最高の体験でした!!
ツアーでは、日が沈む前に船でマンタのスポットに到着し、美しい夕陽もみることができました。日没後に海に入り、LEDライトがついたバーに掴まってマンタが来るのを待ちました。まず最初にたくさんのプランクトンが集まってきて、その後しばらくするとプランクトンを食べに大きなマンタが現れました。水族館とは違った迫力に感動しました!!このツアー中、Goproで撮影した動画(中盤にマンタが登場します。https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAtyJxeQiUw)を参考に載せておきます。
暗い海ですが、船長さんが常に船から見ていてくれますし、バーにつかまっているので、安心して楽しむことができました。
夜の海はウエットスーツを着ても冷えてくるので、泳いだ後に羽織れるよう暖かいパーカーかライトダウンなどを持っていくといいかもしれません。船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めもあるといいかと思います。
大きなマンタ達の幻想的な光景が今も目に焼き付いています。主人もこれまで夢にみていたこと、ダイビングでしかできないと思っていたことが、シュノーケルで体験できたことにとても驚いていました!ハワイ島でこのツアーに参加して本当によかったです。

I used this for my honeymoon and overseas wedding—this is seriously recommended! It's featured in various information magazines, so I thought, "Well, the big companies must be paying for ads, so it probably isn't that great," but I was wrong! The staff is fun, and seeing sea turtles in the ocean is something you only get to do once in a lifetime, so definitely sign up!!! Plus, there are wild rays too. By the way, since there are a lot of women, it might be a good idea to go just with the guys as well ♡

I fulfilled my long-held dream of swimming with dolphins! Although I was worried that there was no guarantee of seeing them since they are wild animals, I was very satisfied to encounter a pod of dolphins three times on a sunny morning. Unfortunately, I didn't see any turtles, but since dolphins were my main goal and I got to see a stingray instead, I'm really glad I participated!
イルカと泳ぐという昔からの夢が叶いました!
野生の生き物なので、100%会えるわけではないのが心配だったものの、晴天の午前中に3回もイルカの群れに出会えて大満足でした。

We had a blast! The captain and crew were wonderful and made sure everything was in place for a wonderful time. Everything from the location, weather, snorkeling tips, customer service and drinks contributed to all of us having a super day. We saw 8 to 10 turtles and much more marine life in two hours time. We even saw dolphins jumping high out of the water with Diamond Head in the background. Unfortunately they were so fast, I missed getting their pic. We will definitely take this trip again with this same outfit. Maybe the lunch or dinner trip. Can't wait to repeat!

Despite the children's criticism about the silly name, I trusted the positive reviews and decided to participate! It was a great decision!

The one reaching for the turtle is my son! It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it!

This was our first time participating as a group of eight across three generations, but the distance to the whales was far. Moreover, all we saw were spouts; we didn't get to witness the spectacular jumps and scenes we had imagined. My sons, who are in third and sixth grade, were bored and sat down. However, if you think of it as a leisurely cruise, it was a very elegant moment.
3世代8人で初めて参加したのですが、クジラまでの距離が遠いです。。しかも見れたのは潮吹きばかりで、想像してたようなジャンプなど豪快なシーンは見られませんでした。
小3.小6の息子達は退屈で座り込んでました。

There were six participants in total, including my husband and me, along with four foreigners. The snorkeling was at a depth of about 7 to 8 meters. I wore a 2mm wetsuit, and the water felt quite cold, but it was an incredibly happy experience to swim alongside the large honu (sea turtles) while leisurely gliding through the water. In addition to the honu, I was surrounded by many black fish. My husband, who is not a strong swimmer, enjoyed sailing on the boat, but he was satisfied because he could also see the honu coming up for air from the boat! The staff was kind and friendly as well.
参加者は私たち夫婦と外国の方4名の計6名。シュノーケリングは水深7~8M程のところでしょうか。私は2ミリのウエット着用でしたがけっこう水は冷たくかんじましたが、スイスイの~んびり泳ぐ大きなホヌと一緒に泳くことができとっても幸せな体験でした。ホヌのほかにたくさんの黒い魚にも囲まれました。泳ぎのニガテな主人は船上でセイリングを楽しむだけでしたが、ホヌも息継ぎのために時々顔をだすので船の上からでもみることができ満足!とのこと。スタッフも親切で良い方でした。

Both my husband and 10 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Although I struggled with motion-sickness (while waiting for our turn to go down), once I was underwater, what an amazing experience that was!! My 10-year old who had to stand (she is just little above 4 feet) didn't mind that at all. She really enjoyed the experience, and begged us to go back again. So we will do this again when we visit Oahu next time. Not far from the shore, but the nature was just magnificent. The way nature and animals peacefully coexist with humans just catalyzed our Hawaii experience, and this adventure was well worth the cost! The staff was also very professional, and knowledgeable. Only if they cautioned us about motion sickness earlier on ;-)

The initial orientation took place in a room inside the ship, so I felt a bit nauseous since I couldn't see the scenery. However, about 30 minutes after going out on deck, I was able to see whales about four times. On the way back, I stayed out on the deck the whole time, and it was a great memory to see Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki from the sea.
最初のオリエンテーションは船の中側の部屋での待機なので景色が見えない分少し酔いましたが、デッキに出てから約30分後にクジラを計4回くらい見ることが出来ました。
帰りはずっとデッキに出ていたので、海からダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの街を見られて良い思い出になりました。

We gathered early in the morning while it was still dark. On the ship, the handsome crew entertained us by dancing and singing, but despite going without eating anything in the morning, we only received a single hamburger for lunch. There were no fruits as mentioned in the itinerary either. In the end, there was no hula lesson after disembarking, and we were just taken back to our hotel and dismissed. There was no information provided about the absence of the hula lesson. We returned to the hotel by noon. I felt it was disappointing that, despite paying a high price to participate, the planned itinerary was not followed.

The program picks you up around 8:30 AM from major hotels in Waikiki via a private large bus. You will depart at 2:30 PM and return to your original hotel.
It takes about 30 minutes to Sea Life Park, enjoying the coastal scenery along Diamond Head and Coco Marina, so it wasn't a burden even with children.
At the Dolphin Encounter, there is a pre-explanation for Japanese visitors by Japanese staff as soon as you enter (the activities will be in English). The changing room is spacious, so changing is not an issue, but the showers afterward do not have hot water, so bringing a larger bath towel to dry off properly might be necessary as it could be a bit cold.
With about eight people in one group, the time spent playing with the dolphins felt shorter compared to my previous experience in Mexico, and I found it a bit lacking.
You can enter the space in front of the pool with a stroller, so while my wife watched our 0-year-old, I took photos and videos from there. The entire Sea Life Park is stroller-friendly, so if you're unsure, I think it's better to bring one.
After the activities, there are dolphin shows, a turtle pool, children's play equipment, and souvenir shops, which provide plenty of time to kill before the return bus.
For meals, there are light snacks like hot dogs and pizza. However, many of the hot dogs are spicy, so caution is needed as they might be too hot for children.
