well my husband and i drove there and we got there really early about 45 min before check in. the staff said they wont start boarding everyone till 1145 . so we walked around and returned at 1130. they were boarding already and we were last in line. i was really disappointed because i wanted window seat. well that didnt happen we sat in the middle of the ship. they started serving food right away. the food was ok it was a buffet so that was good since we didnt eat breakfast. we were out on the ocean for about 45 min before they found any whales. about 15 min before the ship started heading back they finally found the whales but they were sooo faw away that we couldnt see them. then they started heading back after like 3 spottings. i recommend rent your own boat and go or make sure you are first in line and you bring binoculars with you.

Since it was a day with strong winds, we took motion sickness medication for both ourselves and the kids. The breakfast selection was limited, but the taste was quite good with sausage, rice, and oranges. For about 45 minutes after boarding, we only saw the whales spouting a couple of times, but then we got to see their tails and fins coming up and down several times, as well as some backflips, which was incredibly exciting through the binoculars from the fourth deck. My husband filmed it, so the kids could watch it later (the kids stayed with their mother on the boat). While on board, they prioritized explanations in Japanese (on the deck, they provided Japanese guidance after the English announcements, but by then the whales had already submerged), and there were several staff members who spoke Japanese, with the captain even playing with our child. I recommend staying on the fourth deck even if you don't understand English, as it's easier to see from above. We were lucky. Thank you, Joy.
風の強い日の参加だったので、子供共々酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。朝食の種類は少ないですが、味はソーセージ、ご飯、オレンジなど結構美味しかった。乗船して45分くらいは2.3度の鯨の潮吹きだけでしたが、そのうち鯨のしっぽや横向きでヒレを何度も上げ下げしたり背面ジャンプしたりと4階から双眼鏡越しに大興奮。横の主人がビデオ撮影してくれたので後から子供もゆっくり見られました(子供は母と船内で)。船内にいる間日本語での説明を優先してくれたり(デッキにいると英語の後に日本語案内、でもその時には鯨は潜ってしまう)、日本語の話せるスタッフが何人かいらっしゃり、キャプテンはうちの子供と遊んでいてくれていました。英語が分からなくても4階デッキにいることをおすすめします、上から見るほうがわかりやすいので。ラッキーでした。ジョイありがとう。

When it comes to traveling to Maui, whale watching is a must. I had heard that you could see them from the shore, but I thought it would be better to see them up close from a boat, so I made a reservation.
After about an hour of heading out to sea, we stopped the engine and waited for the whales. Before long, two whales appeared near the boat. I was thrilled to see their beautiful tails up close, just like in the catalogs. My wife and kids were busy taking photos.
Over the course of about 30 minutes, the whales appeared around the boat multiple times, allowing us to observe them closely.
The guide was very knowledgeable about the whales, pointing out when the same whale returned by recognizing its tail and sharing information about the ecosystem. They were also kind to the kids, making it a very enjoyable experience.
マウイ島への旅行といえばホエールウォッチング。
海岸からも見られると聞いていましたが、船の方が近くから見えると思い、予約しました。
1時間ほど沖へ進んだところでエンジンを停止してくじらを待ちます。
しばらくすると船の近くに2頭が現れます。
カタログでみるようなきれいな尾びれが間近で見られで大感激。妻も子供もひたすら写真を撮ってました。
30分ほどの間に船の周りに何度も現れてくれ、じっくり見ることができました。
ガイドさんはクジラにとても詳しく、尾びれを見てまた同じクジラがきたよとか、また、生態系の話しを教えてくれました。
子供にも親切にしてくれ、とても楽しかったです。

I participated in the tour because the opportunity to ride a submarine is rare. However, I didn't see the kind of scenery that I expected from the website. I'm not sure if it was because the seabed was murky, but we couldn't see fish swimming all the time while submerged. Just when I thought I couldn't see anything, I would catch a glimpse of some fish or see the condition of a ship on the ocean floor, which wasn't quite what I had anticipated. Still, I believe the experience of riding a submarine was valuable.
潜水艦に乗る機会は珍しいためツアーに参加しました。ホームページで見る様な景色はあまり見られませんでした。海底が濁っていたためなのかはわかりませんが、潜水中にずっと魚が泳いでいるところを見れるわけではありません。何も見えないと思っていると少し魚が見えたり、海の底にある船の様子が見えたりと、期待していた感じではありませんでした。潜水艦に乗れたという経験は貴重だったと思います。

We participated as a family on January 2nd, and unfortunately, the weather was not great. I have seen whale watching up close in Japan, so it was just okay for me. We did see whales, but because the boat was large, we could only see their backs from a distance. However, the food was better than I expected, and I think it was nice to view Honolulu from the sea, especially since I've been there many times.
1月2日にファミリーで参加、あいにくの天候でした。
ホエールウオッチングは日本でも間近で見ているのでまあまあかな?と言う感じでした。

We participated in the encounter with our child. The staff took pictures of us kissing and shaking hands with the dolphins using a special camera (which they later try to sell you), and the photos were very clear, capturing the kiss scene just like in travel brochures (the photos were even larger and better). I ended up buying all of them. It became a wonderful memory. If you have dinner reservations in Waikiki, I recommend the morning encounter. There may be delays with the bus; in my case, the pickup was 30 minutes late. Just for your reference.
こちらのエンカウンターに子供と参加。イルカとのキスや握手の写真を向こうの人が専用のカメラでとってくれ(最後には売り付ける)のですが、その写真は、とても鮮明で旅行のパンフレットに載っているキスシーンそのもの(写真はもっと大きいのでそれよりもいい)だったので、思わずすべて買ってしまいました。良い思い出になりました。夜ワイキキでご飯を予約しているのであれば、午前中のエンカウンターをお勧めします。バスが遅れる場合あり。自分の時は、ピックアップ時間30分過ぎました。参考まで。

I participated in whale watching for the first time. I was worried because the weather was bad, but I was able to see baby whales spouting water and jumping several times!! It was truly moving to see even the baby whales. Both my family, who visited Hawaii for the first time, and I, who have been to Hawaii multiple times, enjoyed it.
There was a bit of wind, but I think the boat didn't sway too much. However, since I usually get motion sickness easily, I took some motion sickness medication and wore a motion sickness band, but I still felt a little nauseous... If you're prone to motion sickness, you might need to take precautions.
初めてホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
天気が悪かったので心配だったけど、子供のクジラが潮を吹いたり、ジャンプするのを何度も見られました!!

The dolphin show provided performances that you can't see in Japan, and it was a lot of fun. Even small children enjoyed it, and adults were satisfied as well. However, it was a bit disappointing that the entire show was in English, so I couldn't understand what was being said. It would have been nice to have Japanese-speaking staff for activities other than the show.

We participated in a breakfast course with three family members. We saw the tail just once, but our child is only five years old, so we didn't have time to lift them up and see it properly. The breakfast was delicious. Since we ate in the dining room on the first floor, it didn't have the excitement of a 3-star or 5-star cruise. If a whale had appeared, it would have been more lively, but without that, we were just staring at the waves, which became boring. I think snorkeling would be better for families with children.

I participated in the Dolphin Encounter and the Ray Encounter. Since I signed up for two tours, I had a lot of changes of clothes, but it was disappointing that there were no carts to carry strollers or luggage. The lockers were small and didn't hold much. I couldn't take my time to enjoy the experience and ended up feeling frustrated. Additionally, the commemorative photos were expensive, and if the whole family wanted to buy them, the price was astonishing, so we decided not to purchase any. Even without that, the prices here are on the higher side, and it feels like they are trying to get you to spend even more money. I think if the price for a set of two photos were around 1,000 yen, more people would be willing to buy them.

I participated in the morning tour. I only caught a glimpse of a whale from a very far distance just once. I was looking for spouts and saw something black come up to the surface, but honestly, I couldn't tell if it was a whale or not. After the tour, there was a recheck desk, but I didn't have time, so I got off without receiving a reboarding ticket.
How many whales can you actually see on this tour? Can you see them up close like it says on the website or in guidebooks? From the experiences I've read, it seems like about half of the people see whales and half do not, but if those who saw them only caught a distant glimpse like I did, I don't think it's worth participating. I was able to see whales from a distance later at Kamaole Beach in Maui.
However, since it's quite a nice boat, if you think of it as a cruise, you won't feel too disappointed.
午前中のツアーに参加しました。一度だけすごく遠くから鯨がチラッと見れただけです。水吹きを探して、何か黒いものが水面に上がったのを見ましたが、正直鯨かどうかもわかりませんでした。ツアー終了後Recheckの受付はありましたが、時間がないので、再乗船券をもらわずに降りました。
そもそもこのツアーはどのぐらい鯨が見られるんでしょうか?ホームページやガイドブックに載っているような、すごい近くで見ることができるんでしょうか?体験談を見ると、見れない人と「見た」人半々ぐらいですが、もし「見た」人も私のように遠くから見ただけなら、あまり参加しなくてもいいと思います。その後マウイのカマオレビーチで普通に遠くから鯨が見れましたから。
ただし、結構立派な船なので、クルーズだと思ってしまえば、そんなに損した気分にはならないです。

What was great was that there were no other Japanese people besides us. When you often book optional marine sports tours, they tend to be filled with Japanese participants, but in this case, there were no other Japanese except for us. Consequently, the language spoken by the instructor was English, which might be tough for those who don't speak it. Additionally, only the minimum safety instructions for snorkeling were provided, so beginners might feel anxious. That said, when I did snorkeling for the first time, I just jumped in and copied what I saw, so it might be okay even for complete beginners.
On the day of the tour, I made a mistake with the meeting time and was late, but as soon as I realized my mistake and called, they laughed and said they would wait for me. That was a relief...
The snorkeling spot was amazing; there were so many turtles, and I encountered a lot of turtles and fish! After snorkeling, we had a cruise from off Waikiki to around Diamond Head, which was also great! I would love to join this tour again.
良かったのは、なによりも日本人が私たち以外いなかったこと。
良くマリンスポーツのオプショナルツアーを申し込むと、日本人だらけのツアーになりがちなのですが、これは日本人は私たち以外いませんでした。
必然的にインストラクターの喋る言語は英語なので、英語が出来ない人には辛いかもしれません。
また、シュノーケルに関する最低限の注意事項のみしかレクチャーされないため、シュノーケルが初めての人は不安に感じるかもしれません。
といっても私も初めてシュノーケルをやった時は見よう見真似でいきなりやったので、全くの初心者でも大丈夫なのかもしれませんが。
当日、集合時間を間違え遅刻をしたのですが、その間違いに気が付いた瞬間、電話をしたら、笑って待っててもらえました。良かった・・・。
シュノーケルをしたポイントは、本当に亀がいっぱいいたので、沢山の亀と魚に出会えましたよ!
シュノーケル後は、ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドあたりまでのクルーズがついていたので、それも良かったです!

スタッフがイルカと遊んでるシーンを撮影してれDVDで販売しています。高いかな?と思いましたが購入して良かったです。DVDをみるたびに再度楽しめますよ~。

I was able to see dolphins up close!!
I also spotted a whale in the distance♪
It was my first time snorkeling, and it was so much fun (^^)
I was also happy to meet a handsome crew member (laughs)
The boat was beautiful, and it was a very high-quality tour!
It's one of my best memories from my trip to Hawaii (* >ω<)
いるかを近くで見る事ができました!!
遠くにですが、くじらも見えました♪
シュノーケリングも初めてでしたが、すごく楽しかったです(^^)
あと、イケメンのクルーに会えた事が嬉しかったです(笑)
船がキレイでクオリティーの高いとても良いツアーでした!
ハワイ旅行の~1の思い出です(* >ω<)
