It was fun. 結果楽しかった

Reviewed by: ずきん

We participated as a couple.
It was the rainy season, but we were blessed with clear skies, making it a great day for a cruise!

About 80% of the participants were Japanese, and 20% were from Western countries.

We took a bus to the boat, and after getting off, we were guided by the staff to our seats, so being towards the front allowed us to sit by the window.

The air conditioning on the boat was the strongest I experienced during my time in Hawaii, so it would have been nice to have something to wrap around me. However, you can help yourself to warm drinks.

Seeing whales depends on luck, but we were able to see them from a distance. Having seen them up close before, I wished we could have seen them a bit closer this time. But it was still exciting!

The meal was a buffet, and everything was delicious. However, the desserts were quite sweet, so I left some behind.

After the meal, we experienced making a lei. I had never done it before, so it was fun! You can take it home with you. The cost is included in the tour.

This was more than just whale watching; it was a really great cruise experience!

夫婦で参加しました。
雨季の時期でしたが快晴に恵まれ、クルーズをするにはとてもいい日でした!

参加者は日本人8割、欧米人2割といった感じです。

バスで船まで向かうのですが、バスを降りてからスタッフに連れられ船に向かうとそのまま順番に席に案内されるので、前のほうにいたおかげで窓側に座ることができました。

船内はハワイで過ごした中で1番冷房が効いていたので、はおるものがあればいいかなと。でも温かい飲み物をセルフで飲めます。

クジラはその日の運ですが、遠くで見ることができました。以前に近くで見たことがあるだけに、もう少し近くで見たかったです。でもやっぱり興奮します!

食事はバイキングで、どれもおいしかったです。ただスイーツはかなり甘いので、残してしまいました。

食事の後にレイの花輪づくりを体験しました。経験したことがなかったので、楽しかったです♪そのまま持ち帰れます。金額はツアーに入ってます。

今回はホエールウォッチングとしてより、クルーズとしてはすごくよかったです!

Thank you very much for participating in our whale watching lunch cruise.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the whale watching, lunch, and lei-making activities.

Whether or not you see whales, and how close they are, really depends on the luck of the day, so we hope you will come again next time and have a closer encounter!

Great crew. Best fun to value available. These guys have this down to the details. Pros all the way around. You can go with the others if you want but I know the secret.

I went with my family. My wife and daughter were first time snorkelors and apprehensive at the least. Mindy did a great job working with them and getting them into the water.

The captain went out of his way to find fun. The photographer took the best open water photos I've seen. I have seen a few.
The food was generous and tasty.

Thanks guys, see you next time.

Within five minutes of departing, a whale appeared, and we were all so excited! At first, we could only see it from a distance, but eventually, the whale came closer, and cheers erupted all around the boat. It's also reasonably priced, so I highly recommend it!

We participated with 10 family members and friends.
We were able to see whales, of course!
The staff promptly informed us when the whales appeared.

There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, so they provided interesting and easy-to-understand explanations in Japanese.

In addition to the whales, our family participated in a hula dance lesson, which was a lot of fun.
I also joined a ukulele lesson with my friends.

Additionally, they provided live music, which kept things engaging.

The food was better than I expected.

The whale watching this time was very enjoyable.

They provided assistance in English, but they were also very thorough in Japanese.

As soon as we got on the boat, there were over 50 dolphins waiting for us right there. The dolphins swam so slowly that we could swim alongside them at a distance that felt really close, and it was incredibly exciting! We could hear them well too! My middle school daughter, who is a beginner at snorkeling, said, "I definitely want to participate again!" The dolphins were just too cute! The dedication of the staff was also evident, and we had a truly enjoyable time! Thank you very much!

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Great Time!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We went with a group of friends this past Saturday on the Early Bird cruise and it was fabulous! We saw whales pretty much the moment we left the harbor and we got lots of pictures. It wasn't too crowded at all. The ship is very nice, very well maintained and clean. The crew was very friendly and helpful.

I recommend motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. I am, and even though I took it beforehand I still got seasick.

We saw a pod of three whales, dolphins, and albatross. A very neat experience for us and the kids.

Winter sea 冬の海

Reviewed by: 小春

I participated in an early morning cruise. When it comes to the winter sea, it's all about whales. I was torn between a whale tour and this one, but I decided to take a chance on the winter sea and chose this tour.

Although it was a dolphin tour, we stopped at a point where we could see whales at the beginning of the cruise, and I was able to see my long-awaited whales. I was also satisfied to see a mother and baby whale!

Then, we encountered many dolphins, and just when I thought we found one, a group of a dozen dolphins appeared, which was so exciting! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as I saw a lot of fish.

I'm not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to snorkel with peace of mind. This time, there were three generations participating, from 0 to 71 years old, and my 3-year-old son enjoyed snorkeling, while my in-laws also had a great time on the cruise and snorkeling.

There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, which was reassuring. I couldn't eat lunch on the boat due to a bit of seasickness, but the staff kindly packaged it for me to take home. I ate it at the hotel after returning, and it was light and delicious.

早起きクルーズに参加しました。
冬の海といえばクジラ。クジラツアーと悩んだのですが、
冬の海に賭けて、こちらのツアーを選択しました。
イルカツアーでしたが、クルーズのはじめはクジラが見えるポイントへも寄ってくれて、念願のクジラを見ることができました。親子クジラにもあえて満足!
そして、本題のイルカにもたくさんあえました。1頭見つけたと思ったら十数頭のイルカの群が現れて大興奮!
その後のシュノーケリングもお魚がたくさんみえました。
私はカナヅチなのですが、ライフジャケットのお陰で安心してシュノーケリングできました。
今回三世代で0歳~71歳の参加でしたが、3歳の息子もシュノーケリングを楽しみ、義両親もクルーズ&シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
スタッフは日本語の堪能な方がいて安心できました。
昼食はちょっと船酔いのため船内で食べられなかったのですが、スタッフのかたが配慮くださり、お持ち帰り用にまとめてくださいました。帰宅後にホテルで食べたのですがあっさりしていて美味しかったです。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Highlight of our Oahu Vacation!

Reviewed by: cathy

We booked this tour after reading about it on a web site. We asked our kids do you want to go to amusemant park setting and touch dolphins, OR swim with them in the ocean, and the results was unanimous The wild ones in the ocean! They picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat, they were very friendly and punctual. The staff on the boat were beyond awesome. They were fun and explained everything and paid special attention to our 9 year old who was a little scared to go out in the big ocean. Pete sense her fear, and took control and jumped in the water with her and she had the best seat in the house on his back swimming with dolphins! He even brough her up a sea urchin to delight her while she was eating lunch! We had pretty rough water but the captain on the boat did a great job, very obvious he knew exactly what to do in in rough ocean. They bbq'd burgers for lunch with purple colored hamburger buns wheich totally delighted our daughter! They entertained us afterward

Dolphin BOY and a kiss! イルカのBOYとチュッ!

Reviewed by: グッディママ

I finally got to meet the dolphins I had been dreaming about! I learned how to train them and took on the challenge. Amazing! Dolphins are so smart!

Even though I was just an amateur customer giving instructions, they followed along perfectly, and I was really impressed!

However, I almost missed out on the experience. I got passed over and had to protest in broken English to the white instructor before I could finally interact with them. It felt like I was being blamed for something, which was quite unpleasant.

All the explanations were in fast English, and she didn’t speak a word of broken Japanese. I managed to understand, but it was frustrating... Even though this is a tourist spot in Hawaii, I didn’t appreciate her refusal to use any Japanese. She didn’t smile at all.

I’m sure there are good instructors out there, but...

The staff's response rating is ☆☆ because of this experience.

In contrast, the Japanese female staff were extremely kind and saved the day.

It was mentioned that it’s better not to bring extra money, but they sell photos of you interacting with the dolphins for $16 each, so I recommend bringing some cash for that. The photos turn out so beautifully that you’ll want to buy them. You can take three poses per person. There are lockers available, but the showers are just old-fashioned water showers.

夢みていたイルカとご対面。調教の仕方を教わり、チャレンジ。凄い!イルカって頭がいいなぁ~
素人の客の指示なのに、ちゃんと動いてくれて感激!

でも、危うくやらせてもらえないところでした。抜かされてしまい、白人のインストラクターに拙い英語で抗議して、やっと触れ合うことができました。何だか私が悪いみたいな顔をされて、不愉快でした。
説明は全て早い英語で、片言の日本語も話しません。何とか理解したので良かったですが・・・ハワイの観光場所なのに、日本語を一切拒否するような彼女には好感がもてませんでした。笑顔がない人でした。
良いインストラクターもいるのでしょうが・・・

スタッフの対応評価が、☆☆ なのは、そのためです。

それに引き換え、日本人の女性スタッフは非常に親切で救われました。

余分なお金は持っていかない方が良いと書いてありましたが、イルカと触れ合っている写真が1枚16ドルで販売するので、その分も持って行くことをお勧めします。余りにも綺麗に撮れているので買いたくなりますよ。一人3ポーズあります。  一応、ロッカーはあります。 シャワーは、旧式の水シャワーのみです。

There are days like this... こんな日もあるさ・・・

Reviewed by: akkiy

We gathered locally and took the bus. We went from the hotel to Ala Moana Center, transferred to bus number 52, and I made sure to tell the driver "Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor" to confirm where to get off, arriving just in time for our meeting. We waited quite a while for the bus at Ala Moana Center. There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us, and everyone else on the boat was foreign, making it quite international. As I saw on Alan Net, we were handed a file with notes written in Japanese, but all the explanations were in English. However, they demonstrated how to enter the water with gestures, so if you watch, you can manage. We moved out to sea for about 10 to 15 minutes, and the waves were quite rough. I get motion sickness easily, and even though I took motion sickness medicine, I still felt quite nauseous. We entered the cage four at a time. I was really looking forward to it, so even though I felt unwell, I stayed underwater longer than others, hoping to finally see a shark. Unfortunately, while there were a few small fish nearby, I only caught a glimpse of a small baby shark passing by far below, and I hardly saw any sharks at all, so I ended up getting a sticker and a refund... But the staff were very nice, so I definitely plan to try again next time. On the way back, we strolled around Haleiwa before heading home.

私達は、現地集合にしてバスで行きました。
ホテルから、アラモアナセンターまで行き、乗り換えて52番のバスに乗り、一応運転手に”ハレイワ・スモールボートハーバー”と伝えて降りる場所を教えてももらって無事集合時間ギリギリに到着しました。
アラモアナセンターからバス来るまで結構待ちました。
私達以外の日本人は1組だけで、他は皆船は外国人で国際豊かでした。
アランネットで見たとおり、注意事項など日本語で書かれたファイルを渡されるくらいで説明は全部英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで海への入り方を説明されるので、見てればなんとかなります。
沖まで10分~15分位まで移動し、波も中々の揺れで、乗り物に弱い私は酔い止め飲んでも結構酔いました。
檻の中には4人づつ入りました。
楽しみにしていたので、具合悪い中でも念願のサメに会えると張り切って人より長く海にもぐってましたが、何匹か小魚は近くにいたものの、残念ながらサメはかなり深く遠くの下の方に小さく子サメ?が通り過ぎただけでほとんど見れず、ステッカーをもらって返金になりました・・・
でもスタッフの方々はとてもいい人たちだったので、また次回、絶対挑戦しようと思ってます。
帰りはハレイワを散策してから帰りました。

Swimming while holding onto a dolphin was amazing, and my wife was thrilled! If I could wish for anything, it would be to play with the dolphins a bit more! Since most of the explanations are in English, I think those who don't understand English might miss out on some of the fun.

If you're looking for a guaranteed chance to see dolphins and swim with them, you should definitely give it a try!

I guess this is about it. こんなもんでしょう

Reviewed by: ゴマッタ

I participated in whale watching during my mother and aunt's first trip to Hawaii, as it was the season for it. If you're expecting the spectacular jumps often seen in whale photos, you might be disappointed. However, if you approach it with the mindset of leisurely enjoying a cruise in Hawaii, you might feel lucky and satisfied to see some whales as a bonus.

They made sure we could see the whales well by moving around to chase them, and with lunch included, I think the price is reasonable.

I chose this tour because it was offered in Japanese, and while there were Japanese announcements during the cruise, it was disappointing that the staff's explanations about the whales right after departure were only in English.

母と叔母の初めてのハワイ旅行でホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので参加しました
よくクジラの写真であるような 豪快なジャンプを期待していたらだめです。
ハワイのクルーズをのんびり楽しむくらいの気持ちで参加すれば、おまけにクジラが見られてラッキーと満足できるかも

ちゃんとクジラが良く見られるように、クジラを追いかけ移動もしてくれたし、ランチもついてこの値段だったらOKなのではないでしょうか

I saw the tail fin while the water was splashing and the back was moving. Considering that there are times when you can't see anything at all, I think I was lucky, but it still feels unsatisfying if you can't see the whole jump. Even though the time is long, around 2 to 3 hours, it can get sleepy since there isn't much movement. It might be nice for enjoying a leisurely time on the sea.

潮吹きと背中が動いているところ、尾びれが見えました。全く見えないこともあることを考えるとラッキーだったのだと思いますが、やはりジャンプなど全体が見れないと物足りないです。時間が2~3時間と長い割に、特に移動をしないので眠くなります。のんびり海の上の時間を楽しむにはいいかも。

North Shore Winter Whale Watch Sailing (from Haleiwa)

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: The Neely Family

We have never been whale watching before - we loved this first time experience! Captain Ryan and crew were great! They not only managed to help us see several whales (one baby just kept breaching - we have great pictures!) but we also were treated to turtles and spinner dolphins! When they lowered their microphone into the water and we heard the whales talking - it was just a huge bonus to a wonderful trip! We will definitely look them up if we get back to Oahu!!

The tour guide was a wonderful Japanese lady who was very kind.

It was a lucky day; I was able to swim with dolphins (although they were a bit far away), see whales, and swim very close to turtles.

On the way back, I was thrilled to see a larger dolphin that rarely appears!

The lunch burger was really delicious, and those who wanted to could also enjoy kayaking, making for a very fun experience.

The local guides and hula dance instructors were also very warm and wonderful people, creating great memories.

There were couples, solo travelers, and groups of two girls, among others.

The boat swayed a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication!

I highly recommend this tour!!

ツアーのガイドさんも日本人の素敵なお姉さんで、とても親切でよかった。

その日はラッキーデーで、イルカとも泳げたし(ちょっと遠かったけど)クジラも見れて、カメともとても近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

帰りがけにたまにしか現れない大きめのイルカも見ることができて感動!!

途中のランチのハンバーガーがとってもおいしかったり、カヤックも希望者は乗せてもらえてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。

現地のガイドサンやフラダンスの先生たちもとても温かく素敵な人で、いい思い出ができました。

カップル、一人旅、女の子二人組みいろいろな方がいました。

On January 1, 2011, I participated with my family of four. It was great to see a whale for the first time in my life. However, since it was a large boat, I thought it would be difficult, and I was a bit disappointed that we were a little far from the whale, so I couldn't fully experience its size. I also wished we could have spent a bit more time watching the whales. Nonetheless, it was a relatively easy tour, and I don't think you can have this kind of experience in Japan, so I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see whales.

2011年1月1日の元日に家族4人で参加しました。生まれて初めて鯨を見ることができたので良かったです。ただ大きな船なので難しいとは思いますが、ちょっと鯨との距離が離れていたので大きさを体感することができなかったのは残念でした。またもう少し鯨を見る時間をとってほしかったなと思いました。でも比較的手軽なツアーだし、日本ではこのような体験はできないと思うので鯨を見てみたい人にはオススメのツアーだと思います。

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Would definitely do this again...

Reviewed by: Kristi

This was one of my and my husbands favorite things we did our first time out to Hawaii. We were thrilled we were in whale infested waters and it was super cool to have the whales literally swimming under us, as we saw and heard them. It was awesome one whale swam right under our guide (Griff) who got amazing photos of the whole experience!

Would definitely do this again during whale season! Snorkeling to see the green sea turtles was amazing too. And all by getting a little exercise, rowing. Nice!

Thanks Griff and South Pacific Kayak!

2.5 Hour Honolulu Whale Watch Cruise on the Majestic with Waikiki & Diamond Head Views [Dec - Apr]

Enjoyed the time with you

Reviewed by: Jerry Herberger

While it was a very successful trip, viewing is still somewhat limited. I love your having a professional photographer on board who got us great pictures of the whales. I would like to be able to get a flashdrive or have the pictures emailed to me for printing on higher quality paper. But overall a very good experience.

Cruising in the rain 雨のクルージング

Reviewed by: 大阪のうさ

Despite the rain, we set sail and spent about an hour searching diligently for whales, but unfortunately, we didn't see any. However, at the end, we encountered a pod of dolphins! We spent quite a long time moving through the sea together. Several dolphins swam around the boat, and we were able to see them up close. They jumped repeatedly, putting on a great show for us. The disappointment of not seeing any whales was completely blown away. I definitely want to participate in a whale watching cruise again next time and hope to see whales.

雨が降る中、 出航し1時間程、一生懸命に鯨を探し回って下さったのですが、残念ながら鯨の姿は見えませんでした。
でも最後にイルカの群れが!
かなり長い時間一緒に海を進みました。何頭ものイルカが船の周りを泳いでくれて、すごく近くで見ることができました。ジャンプを何回も繰り返して大サービスしてくれましたし。鯨を見られなかったショックも一度に吹き飛びました。
次回も是非ホエールウオッチング・クルーズに参加し、鯨の姿を見たい思っています。

冬季限定!ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~4月/英語ガイド/ラハイナ港発>

I was able to see a lot of whales!! クジラたくさん見れました!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I didn't expect to see so many whales. I was worried about seasickness, so I opted for a whale watching tour on a relatively large boat. I imagined that on a big boat tour, I would see the whales from a distance, so I was amazed to see them up close! I was filled with surprise and emotion. Although the announcements were in English, there was a Japanese staff member who was very considerate and attentive. I highly recommend this tour.

こんなにたくさんのクジラにあえると思っていませんでした。
船酔いを心配して比較的大きな船のホエールウォッチングを希望し、このツアーにしました。大きな船のツアーでは遠くからクジラを見る想像をしてましたので、こんなに近くで見れるとは!驚きと感動でいっぱいです。
英語のアナウンスですが、日本人のスタッフの方がいらして何かと気を遣ってくださりました。
是非お勧めのツアーです。

Deluxe Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Hula Kai

It was like being in another world!

Reviewed by: Ariana K.

My family and I totally agree that this was the best tour that we did while we were in Hawaii. A friend of mine had told me about the rays on the big island, but I totally didn't think that it was going to be that amazing. The crew members were really attentive and once we got into the water, it was like being in some alien planet with the rays around us and the plankton glowing under the lights. Doing this again if I ever get back to Hawaii!!!!

ホエールウォッチ マジェスティック号 横揺れが少ない最新テクノロジー採用の次世代クルーズ船<アロハタワー発/12/26~3/31>

Meeting someone depends on luck! 出会えるのは運次第!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The last time I used this service, I only saw a breach at the very end, but this time it was amazing!! After departing and finishing breakfast at the buffet, when I went out on deck, one of the crew members told me, "There’s a whale over there." I hurriedly called my family out to the deck, and there were three pairs of mother and baby whales surrounding our boat.

For over 30 minutes, we could see whales in every direction. The crew was excitedly saying, "It's rare to see this many. Plus, the baby whale is breaching multiple times." There was a Japanese staff member among the Navatek crew, so after the English explanation, they translated it into Japanese, which helped us understand a lot.

Relatives who went on another tour the next day said they only saw a tail once. Whether you encounter whales or not is a matter of luck, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from Navatek is very beautiful. I definitely recommend it as a cruising experience.

 以前利用した際は最後の最後にブリーチングが見えただけでしたが、今回は最高!!
出発して朝食のバイキングを食べ終わり、デッキに出たらクルーの一人が「あっちにクジラがいるよ。」と教えてくれました。急いで家族を呼んでデッキに出たら、三組もの親子クジラが私たちの船を囲んでいました。
それから30分以上どの方向にいても、クジラが見える状態。
クルーも「こんなに見れるのは珍しいよ。しかも赤ちゃんクジラがブリーチングを何度もしているなんて。」と興奮気味に語っていました。
ナバテックのクルーの中に日本人スタッフがいたので、英語の説明のあと日本語に翻訳してくれたので色んなことがわかりました。
次の日に他のツアーで行った親戚は尻尾が一度だけしか見れなかったと言っていました。
クジラと出会えるかどうかは運次第ですが、ナバッテックから見るワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドはとてもきれいです。
クルージングも兼ねて是非おすすめします。

The whale was surprisingly far away, but the cruising was refreshing. クジラは意外に遠かったけど、クルージングは爽快

Reviewed by: 磨波郎

I participated with my wife and our third-grade son. Shortly after departure, we encountered a mother and baby whale. We were able to see them quite a few times while keeping our distance. One of those times, we were lucky enough to witness the mother whale jumping and showing her massive body above the water's surface. However, the distance was generally far, so the emotional impact was somewhat diminished. Also, since we could mostly only see the whales' backs, we had to concentrate on the surface of the water to catch the exciting moments like when they jump or elegantly raise their tails above the surface. That can be quite challenging.

This was my first time whale watching, so I might have underestimated it a bit. On the other hand, a pod of dolphins came quite close to the boat and swam alongside us, and when the boat picked up speed, the sea breeze felt pleasant. If you can think of it as mainly enjoying the cruising experience, it could be quite happy.

The staff was cheerful and friendly, and the captain was impressively talkative, providing explanations (though in English). There were snacks and fruits available, but no substantial meals. Coffee and water were unlimited, but cocktails were available for an extra charge.

 妻と小学校3年の息子の3人で参加しました。 
出港後、ほどなくして親子のクジラに遭遇。遠巻きに見ながら追っかけて、けっこうな回数、見ることができました。 しかも、そのうち1回は親クジラがジャンプするような感じで巨体を水面に出す場面が見れたので、ラッキーでした。ただ、距離は全般的に遠かったので、感動も小さかったかな。 また、クジラはほとんど背中しか見えませんので、ジャンプするところや尾びれを優雅に水面に出すオイシイ場面を見逃さないようにするには、集中して海面を見つめていなければなりません。それがけっこう大変かも。
 私はホエール・ウォッチングは初めてでしたので、ちょっと安易に考えすぎてすぎていたかもしれません。
 その代わりにイルカの群れは、けっこう船の近くまで寄っ
てきて泳いでくれましたし、船がスピードを出すと潮風が心地よかったので、クルージングを楽しむことがメインだと思えればHAPPYかもしれません。
 スタッフは陽気でフレンドリーだし、船長は感心するくらいしゃべりっぱなしで説明をしていました(ただし英語)。
 あと、スナック菓子やフルーツはありましたが、食事的なものはありません。コーヒーと水は飲み放題ですが、カクテル類は有料でした。

I went to see the whales. クジラ見てきました。

Reviewed by: テイミス

I joined a tour that departed in the afternoon. I skipped lunch expecting some light snacks, but what was served were just some snack bites and fruit, which was a bit disappointing. The drinks were free except for alcohol, but since we were on a boat, it felt awkward to go to the restroom, so I couldn't drink too much. However, I did get to see whales that I wouldn't have seen on land, so it was okay.

If you want to take good photos of the whales, you need a serious camera with a telephoto lens and shoot in burst mode, otherwise, you'll end up with photos where you can't even tell where the whale is. My IXUS was completely useless for whale photography.

午後出発のツアーに参加しました。
軽食付きに期待して昼ご飯を抜いたら、供されたのはおつまみスナックとフルーツくらいで、ちょいがっくり。飲み物はアルコール以外フリードリンクですが、船上の事、トイレに行くのも憚られるのでそうそうがぶ飲みも出来ず。
でも陸に居ては見られないクジラを見られたし、まあOKです。
クジラの写真をちゃんと撮って帰りたい人は、望遠レンズ付きのマジなカメラで連写しないと、どこにクジラがいるのかさっぱり判らない写真しか撮れない事になるので、ご注意を。私のIXYはクジラ撮影には完璧に無力でした。
