ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察!<12~3月/軽食付き/英語ガイド/カイルアコナ発>

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。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察!<12~3月/軽食付き/英語ガイド/カイルアコナ発>

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。

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>

I encountered a turtle! カメに出会えました!

Reviewed by: どんぶらこ

At a depth of 30 meters, I was able to see four turtles. I had some difficulty taking photos from inside the submarine, but since opportunities to ride a submarine are rare, I definitely think you should experience it! Even on the boat to the point where you transfer to the submarine, the deck on the second floor is refreshing, and if you're lucky, you might see a whale!

水深30mで、カメに4匹も会えました。やや艦内からの撮影がうまくできませんでしたが、なかなか潜水艦に乗れる機会はないので、是非、体験したら良いと思います!潜水艦に乗り移る地点までの船上でも、2階でデッキが爽快で、運が良ければ、クジラに会えます!

I encountered whales and dolphins! クジラ&イルカに出会えました!

Reviewed by: YUKO

On February 4, 2011, I participated in a whale watching tour with a friend and my friend's mother, making it three of us.

I had joined a dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu last summer, so this was my second time on this ship.

Since the season and time of day were different from my last visit, I was deeply moved by the view of Waikiki and the lush Diamond Head from the sea.

Even when I thought I could enjoy this scenery without seeing any whales, a whale appeared, and I was further touched to see dolphins swimming alongside the whale, playing together.

I would love to book a tour with Alan1 again.

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

2011年2月4日に友人と友人のお母さまと私という3人でホエールウォッチングに参加しました。

私は昨年の夏、スターオブ・ホノルル号でディナークルーズに参加したので、この船は2回目の乗船でした。

前回とは季節も時間帯が違うので、海からのワイキキや緑の多いダイヤモドヘッドの眺めに大変感動しました。

クジラが見えなくてもこの景色で十分楽しめたなぁと思っていたら、クジラが現れ、さらにイルカもクジラと遊ぶように一緒に泳ぐ姿が見られて心から感動し、癒されました。

またalan1でツアーを予約したいなぁと思いました。

良い思い出をありがとうございました!

I participated in the morning cruise, but I didn't see any whales. I immediately used the re-participation ticket I received and joined the afternoon cruise, where I was thrilled to see whales. I think that in terms of season, March to April might be better for seeing young whales as they are growing and easier to spot.

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

The peak season for whales is generally said to be from the end of January to February. Since they are wild animals, it's difficult to say definitively, but this year it seems that more sightings have been reported during the daytime cruises.

All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

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>

Reasonable! リーズナブル!

Reviewed by: choir

On a clear day, I departed from Lahaina Harbor and participated in a whale watching tour. Due to regulations, we couldn't get within 100 feet of the whales, so we didn't encounter any big dives like you see in photos, but we were able to see quite a few. While you can see the whales from land as well, I think this tour is very reasonably priced for what you get:
- Guided by a Japanese-speaking guide
- Includes drinks and snacks
- Over 2-hour cruise

快晴の天候の中、ラハイナハーバーから出発し、ホエール・ウォッチングツアーに参加しました。
規則で鯨には100フィート以内には近づけないため、なかなか写真で見るようなビッグダイブに遭遇することはできませんでしたが、かなりの数を見ることができました。
鯨自体は陸地からも遠目で見ることはできますが、この値段で、
・日本人ガイド付き
・飲み物、スナック付き
・2時間超のクルーズ

Awesome experience! Nothing like it. Plenty of parking and in an awesome area, Haleiwa. The ride out to the cage was not long, before a short safety brief. Once in the cage, it's a unique feeling to know one of the oceans apex predetors are swimming around you. They get pretty close, and is well worth price of the tour. A definite must do if visiting the island!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in a whale watching cruise on the large cruise ship Star of Honolulu, with about 200 people on board, including around 20 Japanese passengers.

I thought it would be a group activity with Japanese staff, but there were no Japanese staff on board. The staff explanation about the activities in the cabin before departure was only in English. After departure, we went out on deck to wait for the humpback whales while enjoying the view of the sea and Waikiki. During this time, a recorded explanation about whale ecology was played over the speakers, alternating between English and Japanese. It was mentioned that there were staff who understood Japanese on board, but they advised to ask questions individually.

The whale sighting rate is said to be over 90%, but if you happen to be in a direction where whales are not appearing or if the timing doesn't work out, you can self-report if you didn't see any whales, and they will issue a certificate allowing you to board again for free during the season.

I heard that whales appeared about twice during the trip, but I thought they were too far away to see, so I got the certificate. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always smiling.

日本語スタッフと一緒のグループアクティビティと思っていたのですが、日本人スタッフは乗船せず、出航前のキャビン内でのアクティビティについてのスタッフ説明は英語のみです。出航後は、甲板に出て海やワイキキを眺めながらザトウの出現を待ちます。その際に鯨の生態についての録音説明がスピーカーから流れ、これが英語と日本語の交互説明というもの。日本語がわかるスタッフも乗船しているとのことですが、そちらは個別に質問してください、ということでした。

鯨出現率は90%以上、とのことですが、出現方角でないところにいたり、タイミングが合わなかったりと、個人的に見られなかった場合は、自己申告で、シーズン中に無料で再度乗船できる証明書を発行してもらえます。

今回2回ほど出現したそうですが、私にはあまりに遠くで見えないと思ったので、証明書をもらってきました。スタッフの方々は笑顔親切に気持ちよく対応していただけました。

Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. Customers from various countries have been enjoying this cruise. We usually have staff who understand Japanese on board, and we do our best to assist customers coming from Japan.

If no whales appear at all, or if the captain determines that the sighting quality is low, we issue a rain check that allows you to board again for free during the season. For customers who have time during their trip, we encourage you to board again and search for whales.

It seems that this time the whale sightings were not very good, but if you have the opportunity, please come again to search for whales.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Shark Encounter

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Staff were a crack up and made the whole trip full of laughs. From the moment we got out on the boat we saw dolphins and whales so it was a bonus. Sharks appeared right away when you travel a bit further out so it was good there was no waiting around or searching like other tours. The experience was amazing. The staff kept the nature of the sharks a mystery untill you finish your turn. Only then do they tell you that the sharks are complete pussy cats and have never attacked anyone. This added to the adventure and adrenalin rush of the experience. Inside the cage you see LOTS of LARGE sharks. We had 6 sharks surrounding us. Highly recommended!

Stayed a long way away from them and couldnt get a close look. Boat ride was lots of fun which made up for the long wait. I was under the impression from the tours description that you could swim with or near the dolphins however this is not the case at all and only saw them for a few minutes before being taken far away to a snorkle spot.

☆ I was deeply moved by the honu (sea turtle) ☆ ☆ ホヌに大感動 ☆

Reviewed by: うみぼうず

I participated in mid-November.

The day before, I went to take sunset photos while confirming the meeting place, and since the catamaran had just returned, I assumed this was the right spot. However, when I arrived on the day, the catamaran was gone, and I panicked. I asked a nearby hotel staff, and they said it was "five hotels down." Since I was cutting it close to the meeting time, I dashed over, and just as I did, the catamaran was coming towards the beach from offshore. (Sweat, sweat, sweat)
≪Refer to the sign in the photo for the meeting place...≫

I misunderstood because the hotel was part of the same group.
(The meeting place is in front of Outrigger Reef on the Beach, but I ended up at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. Please be careful.) Looking back, the catamaran that returned was also a different boat.

At the reception, there was one staff member who understood some Japanese (they had a Japanese reference book), but the other staff seemed not to understand Japanese.

Once on board, there was an explanation of precautions, all in English (which is to be expected).

About five minutes in, my wife got seasick. (I recommend taking seasickness medication for those who are prone to it.)
When we reached the turtle habitat point, snorkeling and free diving began (you can dive about 10 meters).
We stayed there for about an hour.
We encountered over ten turtles, which was incredibly moving.

After that, we cruised around the bay and were able to see Diamond Head and the hotel cluster from the sea, which was also impressive.

Next time, I would like to take the sunset cruise and see the sunset from the boat.

集合時間ギリギリだったのでダッシュして行くと沖合からカタマランがビーチに向かって来ました。(汗・汗・汗)

It was a large ship, so there was no rocking, and it was a comfortable cruise. At the point where we could see whales, I was nervously staring at the surface of the water when one of the crew shouted, "Whale!" When I looked in the direction he pointed, I saw two whales jumping and showing their tails as they dove. I was thrilled to see "real whales" for the first time.

Whale Watching Cruise ホエールウォッチング クルーズ 

Reviewed by: MM1221

I participated in a cruise that departed at 8:45 AM just a few days ago.

On our boat, there were relatively few Japanese people, and most of the participants were foreign families and groups of friends, but I felt very comfortable joining.

There were friendly foreign staff who spoke Japanese, and they helped with anything that was difficult to understand. The whale watching guide was provided in both English and Japanese.

Since it was a plan without meals, coffee and sandwiches were available for an additional charge of $3. Water and hot water were free.

The announcements for whale sightings indicated the direction in terms of clock positions, saying things like "There is a whale at 3 o'clock." When the announcement was made, everyone rushed to the deck to see.

We were only able to see whales twice, but we went quite far out, so the scenery was great and I was very satisfied.

I went to Aloha Tower on my own. While waiting for the bus at the Saratoga bus stop in Waikiki, the bus didn't come as expected. Just as I started to feel anxious, a female taxi driver passed by, and I was able to go from Waikiki for about $16 plus tip.

There is also a hotel pickup option, and after this tour ends, it returns to a hotel in Waikiki, so if you want to go somewhere else from Aloha Tower, I recommend going on your own.

I also easily found Pier 8.

I participated in October. At first, I had a hard time finding dolphins, but when I finally spotted them, it was an emotional experience. The staff were all very enthusiastic, and I had a great time. I want to go to Hawaii again to see the dolphins. Thank you very much!

10月に参加しました。
最初はイルカを探してなかなか見つからなかったのですが、
見つかったときは感動でした。
スタッフの方も皆さん盛り上げてくれて、
非常に楽しめました。
またイルカ見にハワイへ行きたいです、
本当にありがとうございました。

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

Hard to See Whales Sometimes

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We only saw 2 whales while on this tour and this was at the very end of the 3 hour boat ride. It would have been so much more fun if we saw more, but I guess the tour guides cannot control that. The boat was great and the food was wonderful and the ride along the shoreline and out into the ocean was awesome/beautiful. The guides were very informative and provided interessing information.

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

Kayak/Snorkel

Reviewed by: AmyCat

This excursion was worth the money spent. My new husband had never snorkeled before so it was nice to have an experienced guide teach us how to do it. The Kayaking portion was nice and good exercise while we got to go out further than we would have without the kayaks. The guide, Steve, knew tremendous amounts about the area, ocean, animal life and more. He was helpful and funny throughout the entire experience. It was great to see turtles in and out of the water, an octopus, urchins, as well as schools of fish. Small group, us and a family, which the made the experience that much more intimate and special.

My husband really enjoyed the trip. We actually did have some whale sightings, so our expectations were met. I got a little sea sick but the staff was more than helpful and I would definitely recommend this excursion to everyone:)

Dolphin-san イルカさん

Reviewed by: ごろう

It was the rainy season, but we were blessed with wonderful weather and had a fantastic experience. We were able to swim close to dolphins and sea turtles, which was an incredibly moving time for us. The staff were all very friendly and their service was excellent.

However, the staff's strong desire for everyone to see the dolphins was a bit overwhelming at times. They would say things like, "I found one! Come this way!" and everyone would rush over. Then another staff member would call out, "Come over here!" and again everyone would go that way... It was quite tiring! ^^; Haha.

Thanks to that, we encountered many dolphins, but I think it might be better to find a favorite staff member and stick with them. Overall, I believe it was a great tour. If you have the chance, I highly recommend participating!

雨季でしたが、とてもすばらしい天気に恵まれ素敵な体験をすることができました。イルカや、海ガメを間近に泳ぐことができ、とても感動できる時間を過ごすことができました。
スタッフの皆様もとてもフレンドリーで、対応もすばらしいです。
ただし、スタッフの皆さんの絶対にイルカを見て欲しい気持ち→私見つけた→こっち来てーーー!!→みんなそっち行く。→違うスタッフさん。こっちきてーーー!→みんなそっち行く。。。→これは、結構疲れました^^;笑
おかげでたくさんイルカと遭遇することができましたが・・・。
誰かお気に入りのスタッフさんを見つけて、その人にずっとついているのも良いかと思いました。
とても良いツアーだと思います。機会があれば参加してみてはいかがでしょうか?

Whale クジラ

Reviewed by: TOmiya

I participated in whale watching. Right from the start, I could see splashes of water in the distance. I thought it was a motorboat, but the foreigner next to me was pointing and saying something. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a whale's breath. Amazing!!

We soon got closer, and I could see the whale's back. Wow, we met one!! I was so moved. For a while, the boat stayed there. Eventually, it started heading towards Diamond Head. Just as we were about to turn back, a whale swam up from the opposite side. Two of them were gracefully swimming together, right next to the boat!! It was so touching!!! Then the boat made a U-turn and followed the whales for a while. I was so happy!!

However, time was running out, and we had to head back. I was really impressed! I'm so glad I participated!!!

ウォエールウォッチングに参加しました。
スタートからすぐに沖のほうから水しぶきが見えました。
モーターボートが走っていると思っていたら、隣の外人が指をさして何か言っています。よーく見ると、クジラのブレスでした。すごーい!!
すぐにちかくになり、クジラの背中がみえてきました。
すごーい、会えた!!大感激です。
しばらく、そこで船は待っててくれます。やがてダイヤモンドヘッドに向かって走り始めました。
そろそろ引き返したとき、クジラが反対側からおよいできました。2頭のつがいで優雅に泳いでゆきます。船のすぐ横を!!感動です!!!そしたら船はUターンして、しばらくクジラを追ってくれました。嬉しい!!
しかし、時間がなくなり戻ることとなりました。
とても感激しましたよ!
参加してよかったです!!!

Thank you very much for participating in our whale watch cruise.

The whale season has just begun, and since these are wild animals, the chance of seeing them is not 100%. However, we are delighted to hear that you were able to see a whale and were very moved by the experience.

Please do join us again when you come to Hawaii. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.

まだクジラのシーズンが始まったばっかりなのと野生動物な為会える確立は100%ではありませんが、クジラに会えてすごく感動していただけたようでうれしく思います。

またハワイにお越しの際は是非ご乗船ください。
スタッフ一同、お客様のお越しを心よりお待ち申し上げております。

Hawaii Premier Whale Watching Cruise ハワイ プレミア・ホエールウォッチング・クルーズ

Reviewed by: スギマリ

This was my fourth time whale watching. I got hooked on my first participation when I saw a whale jump, and now I join whale watching every time I go to Hawaii. The last three times, I only saw the back or nothing at all, which was a bit disappointing, but seeing that jump is the best. Since they are wild animals, it can't be helped. This time, I went on an early cruise without a meal, but I was able to participate very cheaply thanks to booking online, so that was great.

今回で、4回目ほどのウォッチングでした。
はじめての参加で、クジラがジャンプする姿を見てはまってしまい、ハワイに行くたびにホエールウォッチングに参加しています。後3回は、見えなかったり、背だけとかで、寂しい思いをしますが、あのジャンプが見えたら最高です。自然の生き物ですから、仕方がないです。
今回は、早めのクルーズで、食事なしでしたが、インターネットでの申込みをしてからの旅行で、とても安く参加する事が出来たので、良かったです。

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

Snorkel & Kayak: A Good Combination

Reviewed by: AKVisitor

Kayaking is a great way to observe different snorkeling sites. Lots of friendly sea turtles and was able to hear the songs of the humpback whales. Would have liked to see more varieties of fish. For a kayaker used to a 1-person boat, the 2-person kayak was more limiting. Our guide provided a lot of information about the sea life in the area. It was very informational. Overall a good day.

We saw so many turtles! We had a little trouble with Snuba because of some ear pain, but our dive instructor was great at working with us. They even stopped on the way back for some whale watching and we saw a whole pod! Definitely recommended for a great adventure
