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

Our Whale Watching Experience3/1/08

Reviewed by: YO

The Whale watch cruise aboard the Star of Honolulu was enjoyable. We did see whales from a distance and near the boat. We also saw spinner dolphins at the beginning of the cruise.
The other activities on board besides the whale watching was entertaining. My daughter enjoyed making leis for us and herself.
The lunch that was served was delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed returning to the buffet for a second helping of the salads. My daughter enjoyed the fruits and cookies that were served. The price of drinks were a bit pricey.

I want to thank the staff who helped me cleanup after my daughter when she became seasick on the cruise. They also stopped by our table afterwards and inquired about how she was doing. Thanks for your concern. Thanks also to the passengers who helped me as well with their kleenex and kindness.

I would recommend this cruise to anyone who wants an off island excursion. It shows the island's beauty from a different viewpoint.

Dolphins are so cute! イルカ可愛い～

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with three women on February 27.

The weather was nice, warm, and perfect for the beach.

The guides, Kayoko, Papa, Peter, Olli, Bobby, and Justin, were all unique and wonderful people! I especially appreciated Kayoko's help.

Fortunately, we were able to see whales and turtles. We also got a great view of dolphins, and even for someone like me who is scared of the ocean, it was so cute that I forgot all about my fears!

Kayaking was also fun♪

I would love to participate again!

We had booked a submarine tour for five family members, but on the day of the tour, the weather was bad, and we had to either cancel or reschedule. We were able to change it to another day at 9 AM. Even during the 9 AM slot, the commentary was in Japanese. The water was a bit murky, but we were able to see sea turtles, so we were satisfied.

The cruise was nice and we DID see whales! Not a lot of them, but a few spouts and breaches. Too far to really get any type of photo. The lunch is well worth it - better food than what we had at the Polynesian Center Luau!!! I'd recommend to friends who are on first time visits.

The back of a whale くじらの背中

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was my first time going whale watching. After doing some research, I found that booking through Alan was the cheapest option. We participated in the no-lunch course, and it was the right choice! Although they say it doesn't sway much, it still rocked a bit... If you're prone to seasickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication in advance. Oh, they also provide motion sickness medication on board. Coffee, tea, and water are free!

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, and the interpreter mentioned, "It's the season, so we see whales every day," so I was hopeful... but no whales appeared, no matter how long we waited. Other guests seemed to be getting restless too. There were hula, ukulele, and lei-making classes offered, but I couldn't bring myself to participate since we hadn't seen any whales yet... (Other guests joined in and seemed to be enjoying it!) Just as we were nearing the return time, we finally saw a mother and calf whale breaching! However... they were far away... We only caught a glimpse of them a few times. I thought, "Is this really it?" But, since they are wild animals and there are regulations against getting within 100 meters, it can't be helped. My expectations were too high. Still, even from a distance, watching the mother and calf whales swimming leisurely made me feel quite happy!

I recommend bringing a light long-sleeve shirt when boarding. It can get quite cold on the water due to the strong wind.

初ホールウォッチングでした。いろいろ調べた結果、アランちゃんから申し込むのが一番安かったです。私達は昼なしコースで参加しました。そして正解でした！揺れにくい、とは言ってもやっぱり揺れました･･･。船に弱い方は、あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうが良いでしょう。あ、船内でも酔い止めをくれますよ。コーヒー、紅茶、水は無料です♪

当日は天気もよく、通訳の方が「今はシーズンなので毎日鯨を見れてます」と仰っていたので期待していたのですが。。。待てど暮らせど鯨現れず。。。ほかのお客さん達も時間を持て余しているようでした。フラ、ウクレレ、レイ教室も催されていましたが、まだ鯨を見れてないのに･･･と私は参加する気持ちになれませんでした。（ほかのお客さん達は参加していました。楽しんでいましたよ！）そして、もう帰港時間間際･･･というところでやっと親子鯨のブリーチングを見れました！ただ・・・遠い・・・。ぷしゅーっていうのと、背中チラリが何回か見れただけ。あれ？これで終わりなの？と思ってしまいました。でも、野生ですし、100Ｍ以内近づいたらいけない規制があるようで、仕方がないですね。期待が大きすぎました。でも、遠くでしたが、ゆったり泳いでいる親子くじらを見て、なんだか幸せ気分になれました♪

乗船するときは、薄手の長袖を持っていかれたほうがいいと思います。海の上って風が強く結構寒いです。

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

Had a GREAT Time!

Reviewed by: Rubin & Bridget

The whale watching was GREAT! The whales were active and acting as if they knew we were there to see them. From reading other comments, we thought we were not going to see any whales or they would not be as active as the pictures show. But, they were definately right on time! Plus, the lunch they served on the boat was good. For the price you pay, you will get your moneys worth and certainly enjoy yourself. I would recommend this activity to anyone that enjoy whale watching, especially on a nice boat.

シーライフパーク・ハワイ　イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン　海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内＜送迎付きプランあり＞

Untitled 無題

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in a course without pickup service, but it was no problem since I just had to show my voucher. I joined the Royal Swim, but perhaps due to the off-peak season, there were only five participants, including myself. Most of the others were from foreign countries like Australia and Canada, and since I was the only Japanese person, I felt a bit lonely. The female instructor initially said, "I can speak a little Japanese, so it's okay," but the only things she actually said in Japanese were "My name is ~" and "Are you okay?" along with "belly button," while the rest of the explanations were all in English. With my English skills, I could only understand about 30% of what was said, but since I watched a Japanese video beforehand, I had no particular issues swimming along.

The water temperature was indeed cold, but I got used to it after a while. However, when I got out of the water, I was cold and shivering. In a previous review, it was mentioned that there were only two changing rooms, but in reality, there were plenty, so I was able to change right away without waiting.

The price is high, but it's a valuable experience, so I recommend it.

送迎なしのコースに参加しましたが、バウチャーを見せるだけなので問題なしでした。ロイヤルスイムに参加しましたが閑散期のせいか、私を含め5人しか参加者がいませんでした。オーストラリアやカナダなど外国から来た方ばっかりでしたがみなさん英語圏の人ばかりで、私だけ日本人だったのでちょっとさみしかったです。インストラクターの女性は｢少し日本語が話せるから大丈夫よ｣と初めに言っていましたが、実際喋ったのは｢私の名前は～です｣｢大丈夫？｣｢おへそ｣くらいであとは全部英語による説明でした。私の英語力では3割くらいしか聞き取れませんでしたが、事前に日本語のビデオを見るので一緒に泳いだりする分には特に問題はありませんでした。
水温は確かに冷たいですがしばらくすると慣れて来ます。でも水からあがると寒くて震えてしまいました。以前の書き込みで更衣室が二つしかないと書かれていましたが、実際は沢山あったので、待つことなくすぐに着替えられました。
お値段は高いですが貴重な体験ができるのでおすすめです

Dolphins are so cute!! イルカ可愛すぎます！！

Reviewed by: ritz

I participated in the Royal Swim with seven friends. It seems that groups are divided based on the type of activity, even if it's the same time, and we were in a group with one girl. When they first asked if we were Japanese and I answered yes, the explanation video was in Japanese, and we also had a translator with us. We stored our belongings in lockers without locks, but if you're worried about valuables, they sell padlocks, so it might be a good idea to buy one if you're in a group.

Before the activity started, I had never been close to a dolphin, so I thought, "They're big! Scary!!" at first, but once I touched them, they were gentle, and as we went along, I couldn't help but find them adorable. There were even many opinions about wanting to buy a dolphin! (laughs) I ended up purchasing some photos as well. I felt that the foot push was the main focus, so it was a bit disappointing that I didn't have photos of that... At first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but I enjoyed it without any regrets.

友人たちと7人でロイヤルスイムに参加しました。同じ時間でもアクティビティーの種類によってグループが分けられるみたいで、

アクティビティーが始まる前、
イルカに近づいたことなんか無かったので、
大きい!怖い！！と少し思いましたが、
触ってみるとおとなしいし、
進むに連れて可愛くて仕方なくなりました。
イルカ買いたい！欲しい！っていう意見が多いくらい（笑）

If you want to interact with dolphins, this is it! イルカとふれあいたいならばこれ！

Reviewed by: えすけいぷ

I participated in the Dolphin Encounter with my 5-year-old son. We checked in at the guest counter inside Seaside Park. There were Japanese staff members, which made me, as a beginner, feel at ease.

We put on life vests and listened to a brief explanation from the trainer (in English) before heading straight to the pool. There were about 20 participants.

First, we were allowed to touch the dolphin's back and belly. My son was a bit hesitant at first, but he gradually got used to it. Following the trainer's instructions, the dolphin gave me a kiss on my cheek and lips. It was my first time interacting with a dolphin so closely, and I was truly moved.

The experience lasted about 45 minutes, but it didn't feel short at all. At the end, they were selling photos of us being kissed by the dolphin and DVDs. Sadly, we ended up buying them as a keepsake...

Even though we made a last-minute reservation, I appreciate Alan for handling everything properly. The phone call to confirm the reservation was a bit amusing (laughs).

ドルフィンエンカウンターに、５歳の息子と参加しました。

トレーナーの指示で、イルカが私のほっぺたとくちびるにキス。こんな間近でイルカとふれあうことは初めてなので、感動してしまいました。
時間は４５分程度でしたが、短いとは感じませんでした。
最後はイルカにキスされている写真とＤＶＤを販売していました。悲しいかな、思い出として買ってしまう我々・・・

マウイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞

30 meters underwater! 海底３０ｍ！

Reviewed by: マウイのウミガメ

I participated in a tour without pick-up on January 24 at 9 AM. We boarded a small boat and listened to explanations inside the submarine as we made our way to it. It took about 15 minutes, but the view of the island from the sea was very beautiful, and since it was January, we were able to see whales as well.

We transferred to the submarine on the water. The boarding order started with a large group, and I ended up boarding last, sitting right next to the pilot and the guide. Perhaps it was to help solo participants get to know each other?

We looked out through a round window about 40 cm in diameter and 15 cm thick, observing the underwater scenery. With beautiful bubbles, we quickly descended to the seabed, which was a blue world with few colors. We quietly moved towards a spot where many fish could be seen, changing the submarine's direction so that both the people on the right and left could see the fish well, passing through schools of fish, coral, seaweed, and sea urchins. Suddenly, a large fish appeared, and the guide's shout of "sushi fish!" made everyone burst into laughter!

I felt there were fewer fish than expected, but since it was a deep and vast underwater world, they were probably scattered around. The submarine headed towards a sunken ship, and after observing the fish living there, we returned. In the end, I was thrilled to see three rays swimming slowly. I wanted to see a sea turtle, but I was told, "They don't come to such deep places far from land." I wondered why there was a sea turtle depicted in the pamphlet.

We surfaced with bubbles and exchanged groups with the next tour participants before returning to the port.

I was able to have a valuable submarine experience, and while it wasn't 20,000 leagues under the sea, it was wonderful to see a world I couldn't dive into myself. Moreover, it was a tour where I could enjoy the foreign atmosphere with a guide who entertained everyone and fellow participants having fun. Out of 48 people, I was the only Japanese, so I was quite anxious, but there were Japanese explanation materials and audio guides available on board, so it was fine.

Above all, the staff was considerate, allowing me to have a great time. They took photos during boarding, and those who wanted could buy them for $20 when disembarking. The guide made sure to pose with me for a photo since I was participating alone! A short DVD of the submarine experience was also included, making for a wonderful keepsake. I didn't quite understand, but they were selling tickets for $25 on board that allow free rides at any Atlantis for a year.

It was early in the morning, so I was a bit sleepy, but our local guide, YURIKO, greeted us with such brightness and energy. On the bus, she explained the activities in a fun and easy-to-understand way while playing a DVD, and before we knew it, we arrived at the port! On the boat, there were crew members and coincidentally, a reporter and photographer from a Japanese Hawaii magazine, so we boarded with a large group and set sail! We explored the beautiful sea at dawn while searching for dolphins. Just when we were feeling a bit disappointed because we couldn't find any dolphins, we spotted a whale spouting! After that, dolphins were still elusive, so we temporarily stopped the boat to experience snorkeling in a spot known for its abundant tropical fish! It was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed by the beautiful, colorful tropical fish, starfish, and sea urchins. Just then, a large group of dolphins swam right by us!!! Everyone's excitement skyrocketed, and we made a U-turn towards the direction the dolphins were swimming. I struggled a bit with snorkeling since it was my first time and fell behind. However, the staff quickly noticed and kindly supported me. Just as I was catching my breath and getting ready to go, the dolphins came over, and I was able to swim alongside them up close. When I dove into the water, I could hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins, which was truly moving! I also saw a sea turtle, and at the end, there was a beautiful rainbow! On top of that, there was a double rainbow, which is said to bring good luck☆ The crew and the photographer were all smiles, saying that such a thing is rare. I definitely want to see everyone again! Thank you, YURIKO and all the crew members!

朝早かったので少し眠かったのですが、現地ガイドのＹＵＲＩＫＯさんがとっても明るく元気に出迎えてくれました。バスの中ではアクティビティの内容を分り易く楽しくＤＶＤを流しながら説明してくださりあっという間に港に到着！船にはクルーとたまたま日本のハワイ雑誌の取材の記者とカメラマンが来ており大所帯で乗り込みいざ出航！まだ朝焼けが綺麗な海をイルカを探しながらあちこち回りました。なかなかイルカが見つからず少し落胆してきたら偶然鯨の潮吹きが！その後もイルカはなかなか現れず、一旦船を止めて熱帯魚がたくさんいるという場所でシュノーケリングを体験！初体験でしたがすごく綺麗で色とりどりの熱帯魚や、ひとで、うになどを見れて感動してると・・・イルカの大群が真横を横切りました！！！みんな一気にテンションが上がりイルカの泳ぐ方向へＵターン。私は始めてのシュノーケリングでうまく進めず疲れて遅れをとってしまいました。でもすぐにスタッフの方が気づいてくれて優しくサポートしてくださり、息が整っていざ向かおうとしたらイルカがこっちへ来てくれてすぐ近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。海に潜るとイルカの「きゅーきゅー」と言う可愛い鳴き声が聞けて本当に大感動でした！ウミガメも見れて最後には綺麗な虹が！その上に更に虹がかかり幸運を招くというダブルレインボウに☆こんなことは珍しいよと、クルーとカメラマンもニコニコ笑顔でした。またみんなに絶対会いたいです！ありがとうＹＵＲＩＫＯさん＆クルーの皆様！

Reviewed by: たがやっち

I arrived in Honolulu and joined the tour right away, so I was a bit concerned about my physical condition, but I was able to enjoy the experience without any seasickness.

I thought we would go quite far offshore, but to my surprise, we were able to see whales even in areas where we could still see the town! Honestly, considering the nature of the activity, I wondered if we wouldn't see as many as I expected, or if I might miss the chance to see them altogether. However, it pleasantly exceeded my expectations. We were able to see the whales spouting multiple times, and although I missed capturing the jump on camera, I was thrilled to see it up close.

I participated in a plan without meals, but if your main goal is to witness the whales, I would definitely recommend the option that includes lunch. Many encounters happened while people were eating, so having a meal included would be advantageous. It might be a good idea to either have an early meal before boarding or bring snacks like bread or sweets to nibble on once you've had your fill of whale watching. Water, coffee, and tea are available for free.

Even for those without meals, you can participate for free in activities like ukulele playing, hula dancing, and lei-making, which I think would provide a fun break and enjoyable moments.

ホノルルに到着した日にいきなり参加したので

先に早めの食事を済まされてから乗るか
あるいはパンやお菓子などを持参されて
鯨を見飽きたらちょっとつまむ　というのがいいのではないでしょうか
お水とコーヒー、紅茶は無料で飲むことが出来ます

There were also staff members who spoke Japanese in the park, so I felt reassured.

The dolphins let us touch them for a longer time than I expected, and they even jumped right in front of us. I think it's perfect for kids! They also take pictures of you kissing or shaking hands with the dolphins (for a fee).

Whale watching was something I was able to experience multiple times relatively close to the coast of Waikiki. There was a sense of unity among everyone, including not just the staff but also the participants, as we all searched for and shared our discoveries. When I was the first to spot one, it gave me a little sense of superiority. Additionally, the interactive performances on board were quite enjoyable. I tried my hand at the ukulele, and it was fun.

For those who choose not to have transportation included, the trolley's Red Line takes a significant detour towards Aloha Tower. Even if you take the first bus from DFS around 9:20, you may not arrive until about 11:10. If there’s a bit of traffic, there’s a possibility you might not make it! If you're interested, why not take this opportunity to try THE Bus? If you take bus number 19 or 20 from Kuhio Avenue, passing by Hilton towards the airport, it will take about 20 minutes. You can check the approximate bus times at the front desk of each hotel! When boarding, let them know you want to go to Aloha Tower, and they will assist you.

クジラのウオッチングは、ワイキキ沿岸から比較的近いところで、何度となく、見ることができました。スタッフだけでなく、参加者も含めて、全員で探して、発見したら教えあった一体感があります。自分が最初にみつけると、ちょっとした優越感です。また、船内での参加型パフォマンスもなかなか。私は、ウクレレに挑戦しましたが、面白かったです。
それから、送迎無しを選択される方、トロリーのレッドラインは大きく迂回して、アロハタワーに向かいます。ＤＦＳ９：２０分頃の始発にのっても、到着は１１：１０頃。ちょっと渋滞があると、間に合わない可能性も！よかったら、この機会にＴＨＥバスにチャレンジしませんか？クヒオ通りからヒルトンの脇をぬけて、空港方面に向かう１９番か２０番に乗ると約２０分程度で、いけます。バスの大体の時間は各ホテルのフロントで確認を！。乗車の際に、アロハタワーへ行きたい旨を伝えておくと教えてくれます。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

FanFreakinTastic!!!

Reviewed by: Len Langevin

This was by far the best adventure I've ever been on and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, which is very different from most touristy things I've done in Hawaii where once is enough.

The crew was great, the sharks were plentiful and the gear provided was excellent. Don't forget to bring your camera because you will want to capture every moment out there. If you don't have an underwater camera, you can buy one from the crew.

My first experience with submarine sightseeing was truly impressive. I saw vibrant schools of fish in Hawaii, large green sea turtles, and even sharks!! It was very fulfilling! My parents in their 70s were also thrilled.

初めての潜水艦観光は、とても見応えがありました。ハワイの色鮮やかな魚の群れや、大きなアオウミガメ、鮫まで！！見応えタップリでした！　７０代の両親も大喜びでした。

シーライフパーク・ハワイ　イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン　海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内＜送迎付きプランあり＞

So this is what it feels like to touch a dolphin!! これが、イルカの感触かあ！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On January 8th, I participated with my middle school and elementary school children. The event started at 1:00 PM, and we were to gather by 11:50 AM. That morning, we had hiked up Diamond Head, so I was a bit sleepy. After watching a simple Japanese video, we signed a consent form (waiver of damage claims) and split into two groups of about ten to enter the pool. Since we were wearing life vests, I felt safe even though I can't swim. The staff mostly couldn't speak Japanese, but we managed to communicate with simple words and gestures. After all, it’s a sign language understood by dolphins. However, when the sun was hidden by clouds, it got a bit chilly. Both adults and children were shivering (laughs). I wish I had at least worn a rash guard.

Now, regarding the sensation of touching the dolphins, I felt they were similar to ____. The children agreed with me. After the program ended, we enjoyed dolphin and penguin shows, bought and ate hot dogs, checked the photos and DVDs we had taken, and looked for souvenirs until we regrouped at 4:45 PM. I recommend this experience for those who enjoy cheering with the dolphins and participants! Also, keep in mind that the photos, souvenirs, and DVDs are quite expensive, so you’ll need extra money for that. There are coin lockers available, but you need to purchase a “small key” (with two keys) for $2. Showers (water) and changing rooms are free.

１月８日に中学生と小学生の子供と参加しました。１３：００開始、１１：５０集合でした。当日の朝は、ダイヤモンドヘッドに上ってきたので、多少、眠気もありました。簡単な、日本語のビデオを見た後、同意書（損害請求の放棄）にサインし、１０人ずつ位の２グループに分かれて、プールに入りました。ライフベストを着けているので、泳げない私でも安心です。スタッフは、ほとんど日本語が話せませんが、簡単な単語、身振りで、なんとなく通じてしまいます。そもそも、イルカに伝わるサインですから。ただ、太陽が雲に隠れると、肌寒かったです。大人も、子供も震えてました（笑）せめて、ラッシュガードを着用しておけば良かったです。さて、肝心のイルカの感触ですが、私は○○に似ていると感じました。子供たちも同意見です。このプログラムが終了後は、１６：４５の再集合まで、イルカやペンギンのショーを楽しんだり、ホットドッグを買って食べたり、出来上がった写真、DVDをチェックし、お土産を探したりして、１６：４５に再集合しました。イルカや参加者と、歓声を上げながら楽しめる方にはお勧めします！あと、写真、お土産、DVDは、結構、高額なのでその分のお金も必要です。コインロッカーはあるのですが、「小さな鍵」（キー２本付き）を２ドルで購入する必要があります。シャワー（水）と更衣室は、無料です。

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

All I can say is "oh man!"

Reviewed by: John Simonsen SLC UT

This one of the biggest thrills I have ever experienced, and there has been alot, we have traveled all over the world and this is most definately in the top 5 for us. To have a shark 8-12 feet long inches from your face, let alone 15-20 of them within 20 feet of you is extreme, then add in some good sized swells to add to the excitement, I wouldn't miss it again, ever, a must for anyone who needs a thrill.

【冬季限定！1/3～3/21】ホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号　1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船！軽食＆ドリンク付き＜ワイキキ送迎可＞

It was refreshing. 爽快でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I had participated in this ship's sunset cruise before, but this time the atmosphere was different and I enjoyed it again. It was a refreshing cruise with the wind in my face, and whenever a whale was spotted at the bow or stern of the ship, everyone would dash over with shouts of excitement.

When I got tired, lying down on the chairs and beach loungers on the deck felt really nice. We had a meal included in our package, but since the deck was so pleasant, we hardly ate and just relaxed there. I was worried about seasickness, but thanks to taking motion sickness medication, I had no issues at all.

As for the whales, I was able to see them spouting water a few times, and at one point, I saw one arching its back as it dove down. However, it was very difficult to take pictures.

この船のサンセットクルーズには参加したことがあったのですが、その時とは雰囲気が違ってまた楽しめました。
　こちらは、風を受けての爽快なクルーズで途中船首や船尾で鯨が見えると叫び声と供に皆がここぞとばかりにダッシュしてきます。
　途中疲れてきたらデッキにあるイスやビーチチェアで横になるととても気持ちよかったです。私達は食事付きのコースでしたが、デッキが気持ちよかったのでほとんど食事せず、デッキでくつろいでました。船酔いも心配してましたが、酔い止めを飲んだせいか全く問題ありませんでした。
　肝心の鯨は潮吹きを数回見れたのと一番近かった時は背中を丸めて潜っていく姿も見れました。しかし写真を撮るのは非常に難しかったです。

Our Experience at Bob's

Reviewed by: The Grant Family

Of all the activities we did while in Hawaii, this was by far the best. The staff was very courteous and did everything the possibly could to make sure you had a good time. The ages of our kids were 13-19 and they were a great age to be able to enjoy the beauty of the underwater. I would recommend this to everyone that is old enough to take and follow the directions of the staff.

Great experienc w/ experienced crew

Reviewed by: Jose

This adventure delivers on exactly what it offers. If you've seen the shark specials on the discovery channel this will be very similar except for the fact that YOU are up close and personal with the sharks. Bring waterproof camera for great shots. I didn't have one but I brought my live action camera and filmed some great footage from on the boat.

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 saw both sea turtles and sharks! 海がめもサメも見ました！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The whole family took motion sickness medication, and off we went! As we anxiously peered into the sea from the slowly sinking submarine, small fish gradually appeared. Just when we were a bit worried that this was all we would see, a large creature swam by! It was a sea turtle! We couldn't take a photo in time, but we later saw three more sea turtles just floating there. We didn't see any sharks, but there were some!

I especially recommend this for elderly people who can't snorkel and for small children.

家族全員酔い止めも飲んで、いざ出発！
少しずつ沈む潜水艦にどきどきしながら、海をのぞいていると、小さな魚が少しずつ現れました。何だこれだけか~~とちょっと不安げだった私達の前に、海を泳ぐ大きな物体が！そう海がめ！あっというまで、写真は撮れなかったけど、その後も、じっとしている海がめは３頭も見ました。サメも泳いではいないけれど、いたいた！
シュノーケリングの出来ない年配の方や、小さい子供には特にお勧めです。

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＞

It was a refreshing cruise. 爽やかクルージングでした　

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see a whale spouting water and its tail about ten times. Although they were too far away to capture in photos, it was my first time seeing whales in the ocean, and I was truly moved.

According to the explanation from the crew on the "Naturalist," the end of December is when the whales coming from Alaska start to arrive, so their numbers are still low. The best season is said to be from the end of January to February. During that time, you can even hear the calls of male whales trying to attract females through an underwater microphone. If you want to increase your chances of encountering whales, I think it's best to check the season.

That said, cruising on the newly refurbished Body Glove was very pleasant, and just looking at the blue ocean and the green shore was soothing. It was also a nice touch that snacks and fruits were provided for free. There was a bartender on board, and foreign tourists were eagerly enjoying cocktails. Since the guide mentioned that soft drinks were included, I decided to try a non-alcoholic cocktail, and they even added a cute orchid flower to it for free. (To order a non-alcoholic cocktail, just add "virgin." For example, you can ask for a "virgin piña colada" to have a cocktail made without rum.)

On the way back to the port, I encountered a pod of dolphins and a manta ray (though I couldn't see it well since it was just its back), so I think the hit rate was quite high. Since this is a tour that relies on nature rather than a guaranteed aquarium experience, I believe you can still have a great time even if you don't encounter any wildlife, as long as you enjoy the cruising itself.

クジラは潮を吹いているのと、尻尾を10回程観る事が出来ました。どれも遠くて写真に収める事は出来ませんでしたが、
海でクジラを観たのは初めてだったので感動しました。

乗船していた「ナチュラリスト」の方の説明によると、12月末はまだアラスカから来るクジラが到着し始めた頃で数が少なく、ベストシーズンは1月末から2月だそうです。 その頃になると、メスを呼ぶオスのクジラの声を水中マイクで聴いたりする事もできるそうです。 クジラ遭遇のヒット率を高くしたい方はシーズンをチェックした方が良いと思います。　

とはいえ、今年から新しくしたというボディ・グローブ号でのクルージングはとても気持ちがよく、青い海原と緑の対岸を見ているだけでも癒されます。 スナックやフルーツが無料で用意されているのも嬉しいサービスでした。バーテンダーの方も同乗しており、外国人観光客の方はこぞってカクテルを飲んでいました。 案内にソフトドリンク付きとあったので、試しにノンアルコールのカクテルを頼んでみたら、かわいい蘭の花をつけてくれてこれも無料でした。（ノンアルコールでカクテルを頼むには「ヴァージン」を付ければOKです。例えば「バージン・ピナコラーダ」でラム抜きでカクテルを作ってくれます。）

港に戻る途中でイルカの群れやマンタ（背中だけなのでよく分かりませんでしたが）に遭遇したりと、ヒット率は高かったと思います。 必ず遭える水族館ではなく、自然に任せてのツアーなので、クルージング自体を楽しむ感覚で行けば遭遇出来なくても十分に楽しめると思います。

THE BEST!!

Reviewed by: Rob

This experience was the best thing I have ever done in my short time on this earth! Even though I was seasick I still had the time of my life. The captain made sure everything was as safe and controlled. These sharks were not aquarium sharks! These beautiful creatures were enormus, full of spledor and power. I was amazed to see in real life. If or when I return to the island I will do this adventure again. Don't miss the opportunity to get in the cage you only live once, Seize the Day!
