Amazing!!!! Great tour, including seeing multiple whale contacts.
Weather and boat were awesome, and the crew were amazing, being informative and making sure all the guests were happy and involved.
This was our second year of touring with this catamaran and even though I do not really like the water, it was fun, relaxing, and thrilling all at the same time.

I participated with my mother/daughter! In the morning, the weather was bad, and there was thunder and rain in the distance, but by early afternoon it cleared up, and I was so happy to see dolphins and whales up close. It was quite rocky, so those prone to seasickness should be careful! Snorkeling was fun, but the waterslide was absolutely amazing and gave a fantastic sense of freedom! The friendly staff and the Japanese guide made it easy to enjoy the experience until the end. I want to participate again with my friends! Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Mahalo!!
母/娘で参加しました!
朝は天候が悪く、遠くの方で雷雨も鳴ってましたが昼過ぎには晴れてきてイルカもクジラも近くで見ることができ、嬉しかったです。かなり揺れたので船酔いする方は注意!シュノーケルも楽しかったですがウォータースライダーが開放感抜群で最高でした!フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さんと日本人のガイドさんもいたので安心して最後まで楽しむことができました。
また友達と参加したいと思います!
心からありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

If you do one thing on the west side of the big island this is it. Words and pictures don't do the experience justice. The crew of the boat was safety conscious and the captain ran a tight ship. As a passenger we felt in good hands. Do your homework about what this tour involves. If you cannot swim and/or are afraid of the water this is NOT FOR YOU!!!. This tour had 1/2 a dozen non-swimmers on the tour. They were miserable and the crew had to spend an inordinate time catering to them.

There were no issues with the pickup from the hotel, the guidance to the boarding, or the transfer to the hotel after disembarking.
As for the whales, they would briefly appear at the surface and then dive below for about 15 minutes. Many participants were intently watching the surface of the water, and when a whale did appear, cheers erupted, with everyone shifting their gaze in that direction, repeating this process.
My initial expectation was to see the whales up close while being splashed by seawater, but it turned out to be more of a distant viewing experience. The captain made efforts to capture them on camera, but I felt that approaching this with high expectations carries significant risks.
集合ホテルからのピックアップ、乗船迄の誘導、下船後のホテルへの移動については全く問題ありませんでした。
問題のクジラですが、水面に僅かに姿を現したかと思うと、15分程度海面下に潜ってしまいます。
多数の参加者が目を凝らして海面を注視しているので、現れると歓声が上がり、そちらの方向に全員が視線を移す、と言う繰り返し。
事前のイメージでは、海水を浴びながらクジラを間近で見られる、と言うモノでしたが、かなり遠景でのウォッチングでした。
船長さんも努力下さり、何とかカメラには納められましたが、大きな期待を持って臨むにはリスクが高いと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are all disappointed that you weren't able to see enough whales. The captain did his best to make it happen, but we are glad you were able to see some. Please come again. We hope to have you experience many whales up close next time.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測が充分に見られなかった様子でスタッフ一同残念に思っております。出来る限りのことは船長も努力しておりますが少しでも見れたことを嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。次回は沢山のクジラを身近で観れたらと思います。

We encountered dolphins right after setting sail, but when I jumped into the water, they had already swum away, which was a bit disappointing. However, a second opportunity came quickly, and when I jumped in again, I was able to see the dolphins up close and felt like I was swimming with them! During the snorkeling afterward, I encountered sea turtles multiple times and was able to fully enjoy the underwater world of Hawaii.
出航してすぐにイルカに出会う事ができ、海に飛び込むと、もうイルカが遠くにいってしまっていて、少し残念に思いました。しかし、すぐに2度目が来て、急いで飛び込むと、今度はイルカを間近で見る事ができ、一緒に泳いでいる感覚でした!その後のシュノーケルでは、海亀に何度も出会い、ハワイの海の世界を満喫する事ができました。
Thank you for sharing the turtle photos. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the ocean and nature of Hawaii through your encounters with dolphins and turtles. The natural environment shows a different aspect each time, so please come back and visit us again! Mahalo!

We arrived slightly late and the crew kindly waited a bit for us. There was only 4 of us which made the experience felt a lot more enjoyable - it was not crowded or noisy! No jostling of people.
Once out there, we got in the water smoothly and saw 2 rays, 3 times. Unfortunately, the ray sightings have reduced in recent years so we considered ourselves lucky! Highly recommend it all round!

5:55 meeting time
After about an hour's drive by microbus, we headed to the West Coast.
The temperature was a bit low and there was some wind, so it's advisable to bring something to wear.
The boat also swayed, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness.
Although we didn't end up seeing dolphins, we did see whales and sea turtles while snorkeling along the way.
The sea was a bit cold, so we couldn't stay in for too long.
I heard that there’s a plan from Honolulu where you can see dolphins while going to see sea turtles, so I think I'll choose that next time.
The staff, including the Japanese staff, were all very nice, and I had a great time using the service.
5:55集合
1時間ほどマイクロバスで移動し、西海岸へ
やや気温は低めで風もあったため、羽織れるものは持っておいた方が無難。
船も揺れるため、乗り物酔いしやすい人にはおすすめできない。
イルカは結局見ることはできなかったが、途中クジラとシュノーケリングでウミガメは見ることができた。
海が少し寒くあまり長時間は入れなかった。
ホノルル発のウミガメを見に行くプランでもイルカが見れるとのことで、次はそちらにしようと思う。
日本人スタッフはじめ、スタッフがいい人ばかりで楽しく利用できた。
Thank you for participating! Since dolphins are wild animals, there may be times when you won't see them. It was unfortunate, but if you have the opportunity, please come back and try again! Dolphins can also come to Waikiki. While we can't swim with them, you can enjoy watching from the boat.

Bella esperienza, la barca ha tutto l'essenza Ale ed è comoda per passarci un paio di ore, i due ragazzi che ci hanno portato fuori sono stati molto gentili e professionali, conoscono bene la zona è puoi chiederlo tanti consigli su cosa fare nell'isola.
Purtoppo la giornata che abbiamo scelto non è stata delle migliori.. pioveva a tratti e l'acqua era un po' torbida.. non abbiamo visto le balene.. ma vabbè avevamo già messo in conto che poteva succedere, abbiamo fatto un bagno in mezzo all'oceano e abbiamo nuotato con tanti pesci diversi e tartarughe marine. Nel complesso ne è valsa la pena, anche perché abbiamo avuto la possibilità di vedere la costa sud di Oahu da un altra prospettiva, incantevole.
Esperienza consigliata.
Thank you for the kind review, it was a pleasure to have you all aboard. Our unpredictable hawaiian wildlife and weather can be challenging at times but we always make the most of it! Hope to see you all again in the future. Aloha.

I participated in a whale watching tour on March 4th. I was torn between a large cruise ship and a smaller one, but I decided to go with the smaller cruise ship, thinking it might get closer to the whales when we spotted them.
At the meeting point, there was no reception, and the staff who were on the returning cruise ship handled the check-in, which left me a bit confused about whether I was in the right place while waiting.
They did move a bit closer, getting within about 100 meters, and I was able to take great videos and photos with my smartphone's 2x zoom.
There were options not just for the five mountains, but also for morning, late morning, and early afternoon, allowing for flexibility in scheduling with other options and making effective use of my time.

On the day of the tour, it was raining on the bus, but by the time we boarded the boat and reached the area where the whales were, the rain had stopped and the sun peeked out, which was great. The color of the sea was very beautiful.
We didn't see any large whales, but we did catch glimpses of what seemed to be a baby whale! We saw its tail several times and parts of its body, which was wonderful.
Inside the boat, snacks, light meals, and drinks were available for purchase. Since the air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.
I believe this is a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone, from the elderly to small children.
当日、バスの中では雨でしたが、、船に乗り鯨のいる場所につく頃には雨も止んで太陽ものぞいてくれたので良かったです。
