Hawaii
We saw more people sea sick instead of whales. Only 2 turtles and a few dolphins were spotted. The boat ride was fine and they do offer you can go back again if you don’t see any whales.
The dolphins were incredibly cute. You can interact with them more than I expected (though about ten people take turns). There is quite a wait time from when you enter until you actually get to interact with the dolphins. Since they are living creatures, their condition may vary... Small children (around 5 to 6 years old) can't reach, so parents need to support them. All the explanations are in English, but they also speak a little Japanese.
You can't bring any belongings, but a dedicated photographer will take pictures for you, and you can get one photo at the end from the shop. Additional purchases are also possible.
イルカがとにかく可愛かったです。思ってたよりたくさん触れあえます。（とはいえ、10人くらいが順番に）
入場してから実際にイルカと触れあうまではけっこう待ち時間あります。
生き物ですから、コンディションもあるのでしょう…
小さい子供（5歳～6歳くらい）は足が届かないので親が支えなければいけません。
説明は全て英語ですが、ちょっと日本語も話してくれます。
荷物は何も持っていけませんが、専属カメラマンが写真を撮ってくれ、最後１枚だけショップでもらえます。
追加で購入も可能です。
It would be good to wear marine shoes. The lockers are $6 and can only be paid by card, so be careful as all shops also accept card payments.
マリンシューズ履いていくと良いでしょう。
ロッカーは6ドルカード払いなので、（ショップも全てカード払い）なので気をつけて。

The waiting time is longer than expected. The movement is somewhat bumpy. (I found it thrilling and fun!) As for the viewing...
待ち時間が思いの外、長いです。
移動はまぁまぁ揺れます。(僕はスリリングで楽しかったです！)鑑賞は・・・。
If I can snorkel, then I think I'd prefer that.
シュノーケルできるなら、そっちがいいかな。

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and the view of Diamond Head and the deep blue sea and sky from the ocean was stunning. Even if we hadn't encountered any whales, I would have been completely satisfied just with the cruise. Just when I was about to give up, the whales finally appeared! The sight of two of them slapping their tails on the water's surface was incredibly powerful. We were able to see them closer than I had imagined. They showed up again in another spot, and I was absolutely thrilled. The kids were also very excited!
いいお天気に恵まれて、沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや真っ青な海と空。
もしもクジラに出会えなくても、遊覧だけでも大満足、思っていたところ...
諦めかけた頃に、ついにクジラが現れました！
２頭並んで尻尾を海面に打ち付ける様子は迫力満点。想像していたよりも近くで見れました。
その後もまた別の場所でも現れて、
大大満足です。
子どもたちも大興奮でした！
The wind is very strong.

There were no other Japanese tourists on the tour, and everything was in English, but I enjoyed it without any issues. I was moved to see whales appearing here and there, even from a distance. The vast scenery was absolutely amazing! Depending on the weather, this time there was no wind, and it was a pleasant cruise, so I didn't get seasick. (Just in case, everyone else took motion sickness medication.) This trip to Maui was also aimed at whale watching, so my long-held wish came true. I took a commemorative photo before boarding and purchased it, but later I received an email with a download method, so I was able to check it comfortably at hand. Thank you very much!
ツアーには他に日本人観光客はなく、全て英語でしたが問題なく楽しめました。遠目ではありますがあちこちにクジラが出現するので感動しました。なんと言ってもあの広大な景色は最高でした！！天気次第とはなりますが、今回は風もなく気持ちの良いクルージングでしたので酔う事はありませんでした。（念の為、私以外は酔い止めを飲んでました。）今回のマウイ旅行はホエールウォッチングが目的でもありましたので、念願が叶いました。乗船前に記念写真を撮って頂き購入しましたが、後にメールが届きダウンロードする方法でしたので、早く手元で確認する事ができ快適でした。ありがとうございました！

It was a good experience overall - the plan they had with placed item was very helpful
The local guides were also very kind. The water was so clear that we could see various fish. There were whales further out, and we could see them a little. After diving, we could also see the boat going down for the next group to take their turn.
現地ガイドの人たちも親切でした。
海の透明度が高いので色々な魚を見ることができました。
沖の方には鯨がいて少し見えました。潜水後は次の人たちと交代するため、船が潜水していく様子も見られます。

We saw so many whales. So happy to tick this off my bucket list ❤️
I had some anxiety about swimming, but the support in the ocean was excellent, and I was able to enjoy the sea with peace of mind! I got to see many Hawaiian creatures right in front of me, and it was all a first-time experience! Thank you, Minako!
泳ぎに不安がありましたが、海でのサポートも手厚く、安心して海を楽しめました！たくさんのハワイの生き物を目の前で見ることができて、初体験ばかりでした！ミナコさん、ありがとうございました！！
I think it's better to rent a wetsuit. I didn't feel cold at all on the water.
ウェットスーツは借りたほうが良いと思います。海の上で寒く感じることがなかったです。
Aloha!! Mori. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin School. We also appreciate your sharing of valuable photos. The albino white spinner dolphin in the pictures is a very rare sight that was reported on the news. So, I truly believe it was an incredibly lucky tour. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the tour with Minako until the end without any worries. Please come back to re-enroll in the Dolphin School! All of us on the crew are sincerely looking forward to seeing you again. Mahalo nui and A hui hou!
アロハ!! moriさま。イルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。また貴重な写真の共有にも感謝です。写真に写っているアルビノの白いユメゴンドウは初めて発見された非常に珍しいもので、テレビのニュースでも報じていました。なので、本当に本当にラッキーなツアーだったと思います。ミナコと一緒にツアーを最後まで安心して楽しんでいただき嬉しく思います。ぜひ、イルカの学校へ再入学しに来てくださいね！moriさまとまたお会いできますよう、クルー一同心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and A hui hou!

This is a tour where you dive about 100 feet deep to observe fish and other marine life. You board a boat from the port of Waikiki and then switch to a submarine for the dive.
At first, there isn’t much to see and there are few fish, but as you get closer to a sunken airplane or ship, you encounter large schools of fish! After viewing one side, the submarine turns around to show the guests on the opposite side as well. Along the way, we also saw sharks and sea turtles swimming.
The guide's explanations are in English. I should have downloaded the Japanese guide in advance, but I forgot. However, the English explanations provide real-time descriptions of the situation, so I’m not sure if the Japanese explanations follow that. I think it’s better to try to listen to the English.
Before boarding the boat, they take photos which they develop and sell by the return trip. You can also download the data via QR code later, but that is also paid. I believe the experience of seeing the fish in person is more valuable than the photos, especially since you can see them without diving.
100ftほどの水深に潜り魚などを観察するツアー。ワイキキの港から船に乗り、海上で潜水艦に乗り換えて潜ります。
潜った当初は何もなく魚も少ないですが、沈んだ飛行機や沈没船の近くに来ると魚の大群が！片側が見た後は旋回して逆側のお客さんにも見せてもらえます。
途中、サメや海ガメが泳ぐ姿も見られました。
ガイドさんの説明は英語。事前に日本語のガイドをダウンロードすれば良かったのですが、忘れてました。ただ、英語の説明はリアルタイムの状況説明なので、日本語の説明がそれにならっているかは分かりません。頑張って英語を聞いた方が良いかと思います。
船に乗る前に撮影した写真を帰りまでに現像して売りに来ます。データはQRコードで後日でもダウンロードできますが、そちらも有料。
写真よりも実際に見る魚たちの方が貴重な体験だと思います。ダイビングせずとも見られるんですから。
The shaking isn't too strong, but those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious (consider taking motion sickness medication). Download the Japanese guide in advance for land activities.
揺れはそれほど強くないですが、酔いやすい人は注意した方が良いです。（酔い止め飲んどくとか）
日本語ガイド、陸上でダウンロードしておきましょう。

Great Whale watching trip out of A Bay! The crew was easy going, informative and interesting.
Wish the trip was longer than 1 1/2 hours. The check in location on the website needs to be updated
It was very organized. The staff were all helpful and happy. I’ve always wanted to see whales and this tour made it all possible. Didn’t want the tour to end!
Very friendly captain who found whales and a shark for us
I think it's less likely to get seasick on a large ship, but when you go up to the fourth deck for whale watching, the height increases the swaying, so it feels quite shaky. If you're concerned, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
We were able to spot quite a few whales. While we didn't see any huge jumps with half their bodies out of the water, we did see them spouting water and their tails and dorsal fins coming out of the surface multiple times. I thought it would be difficult to search in the vast ocean, but since everyone is watching, you quickly notice when they appear, and it creates quite a buzz. There was also another small boat on a tour nearby, and if that boat is stopped, it means they are observing whales in that area, which makes it easy to understand.
大型の船なので酔いにくい方だとは思いますが、クジラウォッチのために４階甲板の上まで出ると、高くなる分揺れの幅が増幅されるため、体感的にはかなり揺れる気がします。ご心配な方は酔い止めおすすめします。
クジラは結構目撃することができました。体半分飛び出すような大ジャンプは見られませんでしたが、潮吹いたり、尾びれ・背びれ？が水面から出てきたりするのは何度も見ることができました。だだっ広い海原で探すのが大変かと思いましたが、みんなが見ているので現れるとわーっとなるのですぐ気がつきます笑。同時に別の小型の船もツアーで近くにいましたが、その船が止まっている場合はその近くにいる（観察中）ということなので、それもわかりやすいです。
The wind is strong and the sunlight is intense, so it seems better to have something to wear over your clothes. Be careful as hats can get blown away.
風が強く日差しもきついので羽織るものがあった方が良さそうです。帽子は飛ばされるので注意。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching. We hope to see you again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

We had a greast day, we got to see a ton of sea life including a few turtles!
Great way to start the morning before heading off the beautiful island!
Quick and easy to fill your afternoon and then head to a sunset dinner! We got tons of great sightings and the crew kept us safe
The whales put on a show, and we left as happy travelers that day! :)
we were nervous at first swimming at night, but we had a wonderful time and would do it again!
We got to make it to Molokini and the snorkel was great that day, lots of ocean life, clear conditions, all around a wonderful day!
I was worried about seasickness and took some motion sickness medication, but the waves were less intense than I expected, and I was totally fine. As for the whale watching, I was starting to think we might not see anything, but then I spotted a spout in the distance! Cheers erupted, and in response, the whale showcased its spouts and tail several times. Seeing it live was truly moving.
船酔いが心配で酔い止め飲みまいたが、思ったより揺れが少なく、全然平気でした。
肝心のホエールウォッチはなかなか見当たらずもしかして、見れないのでは？ と思っていたら、遠くにシューっと潮吹きを発見！歓声が上がり、それに答えるように何度も潮吹きや尾びれを披露してくれました。生で見るとほんと感動です。
There is a temperature difference between land, sea, and inside the ship, so it's important to pay attention to your clothing and bring something to wear over your outfit.
陸上、海上と船内の気温差がありますので、一枚羽織れるものなど、服装に注意が必要です。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the whale watching. Also, thank you for the very positive review. We hope to see you again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

The crew was very knowledgeable and attentive.
We had a perfect day and saw several whales.
The pod that passed us gave a great show of surfacing and waving their flukes.
The boat was clean and safe. It was the best experience of my trip!!!!!!
Bring sunscreen.
Take some pictures, but didn't forget to just enjoy the day
The staff who spoke Japanese were very helpful, and my child had a great time! My son got quite wet from the energetic dolphins, but the weather was nice, so he dried off quickly. The park itself is small, so it's easy to explore. Feeding the fish and watching the dolphin show were also fun.
日本語が話せるスタッフがサポートしてくれて子供も楽しめました！元気なイルカで息子は結構濡れましたが、天気も良くすぐ乾きました。パーク自体は狭いのですぐ見て回れます。魚の餌やりやイルカショーなども楽しかったです。

I had a very meaningful morning! Unfortunately, I didn't understand about 80% of the English explanations, but when there were whales, it was very easy to understand the direction based on the time on the clock relative to the boat. On that day, we were able to see a small whale jumping, and everyone on the boat was really excited! I tend to get motion sickness and was worried about seasickness, but there was hardly any rocking, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably. If you're visiting Honolulu during this time, I think this is an activity you absolutely should participate in!
非常に有意義な朝の時間を過ごすことができました！！英語の説明は残念ながら8割わからなかったですが、クジラがいた時には船を基準にして時計の時刻で方向を知らせてくれるため、とても分かりやすかったです。
この日は小さなクジラがジャンプする姿を見ることができ、船上もかなり盛り上がっていました！
乗り物酔いしやすく、船酔いも心配していましたが、ほとんど揺れもなく快適に過ごすことができました。
この時期にホノルルに訪れるなら、絶対に参加すべきアクティビティだと思いました！
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe the whales jumping. We also appreciate your very positive review. Please do come again; our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

It was great to see the whale, but it's disappointing that the boat turned back so soon after. To be honest, I wanted to see it a little longer.
クジラが見えた事はよかったんですが、
その後すぐ船が引き返してしまうのは残念です。もう少し見たかったと言うのは正直なところです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise as a couple. We were disappointed that the time for whale watching was short, but we are very happy that you were able to see whales. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

I participated in Bon Voyage Kobe on the recommendation of Mr. Tamura, and it was great to see whales up close in relatively nearby waters. Unlike Kochi and Okinawa, the waves were lower, so I didn't get seasick, which was a plus.
ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸 田村氏に勧められて参加しましたが割と近海でクジラが近くで見れて良かったです。高知や沖縄と違って波も低めで船酔いしなかったのがよかったです

Matty and Mari were absolutely great! We went on the sunset whale watching tour and they made it such a fun and personalized experience! They answered all our questions, explained the different parts of the island that we could see from the ocean, and made it an overall great experience. We not only saw plenty of whales, but we also saw a shark too. 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone and everyone!
Harbor is a bit hard to figure out, but the tour was fabulous!
Tons of whale sightings, and a great size baot not too many peolpe!
Even when we got close to Diamond Head, we couldn't see any whales, and I started to give up a little, but then I spotted a spout in the distance. At that moment, the boat sped towards the whale, and we got close enough to see it!
After that, the boat kept pace without disturbing the whale, allowing us to see it with Diamond Head in the background. It was such an emotional moment!
As the boat started heading back to the harbor, the other passengers returned inside, but while watching the whale, I was able to see a huge leap from quite a distance!
On the way back, we also spotted two groups of whales, so I think it's a good idea to look out for spouts. The pineapple banana bread provided after boarding was also very delicious, and we could enjoy it with tea or coffee inside the boat!
There were also announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales, so it's fine even if you don't understand English. Since they are living creatures, you can't always see them, but even if they are a bit far away, the boat gets close, so I’m glad I participated!
ダイヤモンドヘッドの辺りに来てもなかなかクジラの姿が見えないので、今日は見ることができないかもと少し諦めた時に、すっごく遠くに潮吹きが見えました。その瞬間、船がクジラの方に向かってすごいスピードで進んでいき、クジラが見える所まで近づいてくれました！
その後も、クジラの泳ぎを遮らないように、並走してくれて、ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにクジラを見る方ができました。とても感動した瞬間でした！
船が港へ戻り出した為、他の乗客は船内に戻って行きましたが、ずっとクジラを見ていると、かなり離れていましたが、クジラの大ジャンプを見ることができました！！
帰り途中にも2グループのクジラを見る方ができたので、潮吹きを探してみると良いと思います。
乗船後に提供された軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドもとても美味しく、紅茶やコーヒーと一緒に船内で食べることができました！
クジラの説明など日本語でのアナウンスもきちんとありますので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。生き物ですので毎回見られるとは限りませんが、多少遠くても船が近づいていってくれるので、参加して良かったと思います！
I went up to the top deck, making sure I could see from either side of the ship. Also, when the ship starts to head back, everyone tends to go back inside, but I think it's better to stay and watch be
最上階に上り、船の左右のどちらからでも見えるようにしていました。また、船が帰り出すと皆んな船内に戻りがちですが、そのまま見ているよと大ジャンプをしていたので見続けた方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe the whales jumping. It's great that you enjoyed the snacks on board and the views of Waikiki. We also appreciate your very positive review. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
