All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

We had a wonderful time! We were super lucky to see a lot of dolphins and whales. It was for sure a once in a lifetime adventure. The entire crew was awesome! Thank you so much!

I went in March. I was able to see the small whale's tail and back. Since the boat was not crowded, I could move around freely, and it was comfortable with little rocking, which was great.

3月に行きました。小さい鯨の尾鰭や背中が見れました。船の中では、空いていたこともあり、自由に動き回ることができましたし、揺れも少なく快適で良かったです。

I encountered many whales and even saw a few dolphins, making it a very satisfying tour. When whales or dolphins appear, the staff will guide you on their direction, so I think it's hard to miss them. However, there is only one restroom available, so it's best to take care of that before boarding for peace of mind. Since it's a morning tour, it's also nice that you can schedule activities for the afternoon. (The departure point is near Aloha Tower, so exploring after disembarking is a good idea.)

沢山のクジラと出会えました。また、少しですがイルカも見れて大満足のツアーでした。クジラやイルカが現れた時にはスタッフの方が方角を教えてくれるので、見逃すことも少ないと思います。
ただ、トイレが1箇所しか無いので、乗船前に済ませておいた方が安心です。
午前中のツアーなので、昼からも予定が入れられるのも良いと思います。(発着場所が、アロハタワーの近くですので、下船後に探索するのもいいと思います。)

My first whale watching experience!
I happened to visit Hawaii during the season when whales can be seen, so I thought it was a rare opportunity and joined a tour.
About 20-30 minutes after boarding, we were able to see whales right away! The view is great from the upper deck, but since it's a bit far away, I recommend watching from the lower deck for a closer look. While we couldn't get extremely close, I was very moved to see a whale in person for the first time! The sea breeze was pleasant, and the whole experience of being on the boat was enjoyable.

初のホエールウォッチング！
たまたま鯨を見れる時期にハワイを訪れたので、なかなかない機会だと思いツアーに参加しました。
乗船してから20-30分ぐらいですぐに鯨を見ることができました！上の階だと見晴らしは良いですが、少し距離があるので、下の階でより近くで見るのがおすすめです。かなり近い距離とはいきませんが、生の鯨を初めて見られてとても感動しました！潮風も気持ちよく、乗船自体も楽しかったです。

We had an amazing experience on the sunset raft whale watching excursion. Our guides, Luke and Nick, were superb and told us so many facts about the whales. They were attentive to both my teenagers and my 9 year old, providing them with snacks and drinks and making sure that they had a great experience. We saw whales breaching and babies swimming close to the raft. It was the highlight of our trip.

I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything since I participated in late March, but shortly after we set sail, a whale appeared! It spouted water and I was able to see its tail as well. However, it was a small whale and it was just a brief moment.

After that, there were a couple of brief appearances of small whales in the first half, but they were really just for an instant. In the second half, we didn't see anything at all, which left a feeling of disappointment.

Still, I’m glad I got to see a whale, even if just once in my life. If you imagine a big whale spouting water or slapping its large tail on the surface of the sea, you might end up feeling like, "Is that all there is?"

3月下旬に参加のため、見られるのか心配していたものの、出航して間もなく、くじらが現れてくれました。潮を吹いて、尾っぽも見ることが出来ました。しかし、小さなクジラで一瞬の出来事でした。
その後、前半に2回くらい小さなクジラが一瞬現れてくれたものの、本当に一瞬でした。後半は全く見られず、尻すぼみ感がありました。
それでも、一生に一度でもクジラを見られて良かったです。
大きな鯨が現れて潮を吹いてくれるとか、大きな尻尾を海水面に叩きつけるとか想像を膨らませて参加すると、そんなもんか〜という感想になるかもしれません。

I participated in early March.
I had a great time on a cruise overlooking the coast of Hawaii.
Since you never know where the whales will appear, we only saw them for a moment, but we were able to see a whale's tail and it spouting water. The captain worked hard to adjust the boat's position so we could see the whales.
The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking, but I think it would be reassuring to take motion sickness medication. Also, it was windy and cold on the water, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket. It was chilly in short sleeves.

3月上旬に参加しました。
ハワイの沿岸部を眺めるクルーズで楽しく過ごすことができました。
クジラはどこに出るかわからないので、見えたのは一瞬でしたが、私達はクジラのしっぽと潮吹きしているところを見ることができました。船長ががんばってクジラが見えるように船の位置を調整してくれていました。
船は大きいので、そこまで揺れが強いとは感じませんでしたが、酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心かなと思います。また、海の上は風が強く寒いので、長袖の上着を持っていくのがおすすめです。半袖だと寒かったです。

My experience with the whale watching activity was truly unforgettable. From the moment we boarded the boat, the anticipation and excitement were palpable. The crew was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about marine life, which enhanced the overall experience.

As we ventured into the open waters, the captain skillfully navigated us to prime whale sighting spots. The vastness of the ocean combined with the breathtaking scenery created a serene atmosphere, perfect for observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Witnessing the sheer size and grace of the whales as they surfaced and dove back into the depths left me in awe. It was mesmerizing to see them glide effortlessly through the water, showcasing their majestic beauty.

I have been to Hawaii many times, and this was my second time seeing whales, but my eldest daughter had never had the opportunity, so we decided to participate this time. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much since I didn't see many last time, but perhaps the location was good, as a mother and her three calves appeared alongside the boat.

ハワイは何度も来ていて私はクジラは2度目でしたが長女は機会がなかったので今回参加する事にしました。前回余り見れなかったので正直期待していませんでしたがポイントが良かったのか3頭の親子が船と並走するように現れてくれました。

We had a blast doing the shark dive! The crew was amazing, very knowledgeable and super helpful. Being able to be so close to the sharks was such a cool experience. Highly recommend!
The boat can be a little bit rocky depending on the weather, recommend bringing snacks to help curb seasickness.

We booked the tour in the afternoon but we didn’t see anything. Hope we can see the whale next visit.

My childhood dream was to swim with wild dolphins. Before I knew it, I had progressed in swimming to the point where I could participate in national competitions.

Dolphin University made that dream come true for me. Staff member MAKI provided us beginners with thorough and entertaining explanations, complete with jokes, which brought smiles to the faces of the Japanese participants!

And I underestimated the sea. I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life here.

On the boat, there was unlimited drinking water and hot water, but at that moment when I could barely stand… MAKI brought drinks around, and I was so touched by that perfect timing. Additionally, she shared gum to help with the nausea and regularly checked in on us, providing excellent care that made my seasickness much better, allowing me to enjoy swimming with the dolphins.

Thanks to MAKI and my experience at Dolphin University, I learned so much about the importance of nature, the value of living creatures, and the joy and excitement of the sea. I truly feel lucky.

For participants, you can learn the Japanese joke for free from MAKI.

Thank you for the unforgettable memories. Next time, I will definitely participate again!

私の子供の頃の夢は『野生のイルカと泳ぐこと』
そのために始めたスイミングも気付けば全国大会に出れる程にまでなりました。笑

そんな私の夢を叶えてくれたイルカ大学。
スタッフのMAKIさんが初心者の私たちへの丁寧で面白いギャグ込みの説明をしてくれ日本人参加者たちのお顔も笑顔に！

そしてナメてました海。
船酔いです。
人生初の嘔吐もここで経験させて頂きました

船内には飲み放題のお水やお湯があるのですが、立つことも辛くなってしまったそのとき…MAKIさんが周りに飲み物を持ってきてくれて、そのベストタイミングに感激でした
そしてそれ以外にも（酔いを紛らわす為の）ガムを分けてくださったり、定期的に声をかけてくださったりととても手厚いケアに、船酔いもかなり良くなり楽しくイルカと泳げました

スタッフのMAKIさん、そしてイルカ大学での経験から、自然の大切さや生き物の尊さ、海の楽しさや感動など多くの事を学ばせて頂けた私は本当ラッキーです。

忘れられない思い出をありがとうございました。
次も、必ず！絶対！間違いなく参加します。

I participated in the morning session on March 8. There were designated meeting points at nearby hotels, and we took a bus to the port. Most participants were Japanese, and the staff didn't seem to speak Japanese particularly well. There were plenty of Japanese signs and information, so I didn't have much trouble.

As for the whales, we could see their tails and spouts from a distance, but it wasn't satisfying. Also, it was quite windy and cold on the boat, so I felt that a jacket was necessary rather than just a light layer. I wouldn't recommend wearing shorts either.

It seems that this is the tail end of the whale-watching season, so I guess it's understandable that we couldn't see them well, which is my impression after returning.

3/8の午前中の回で参加しました。
近隣のホテルごとに集合場所が設けられ、バスに乗って港まで行きます。
参加者は日本人が多め、スタッフは特に日本語ができる様子はありませんでした。
案内の表示などでは日本語も多くて困ることは少なかったです。
肝心のクジラはというと、少し離れた場所で尻尾が見えたり、潮吹きが見えたりといった感じで満足とは言えないくらいでした。
また、船上は風が強くて寒いので、羽織るもの程度ではなく上着が必要かなと感じました。短パンもお勧めできません。
ホエールウォッチングとしてはギリギリの時期らしいのでしっかり見れなかったのも仕方ないかなというのが帰ってからの感想です。

Fortunately, I was able to encounter a whale. However, I had my video camera ready the whole time but couldn't capture any footage. It's difficult to film with a camera or video. You can enjoy a pleasant cruise while looking at Waikiki from the sea with the beautiful blue ocean. The boat does sway a bit. There were smaller boats around, but for those who are prone to seasickness, a larger boat might be a better option.

幸運にも、クジラに遭遇できました。
ただし、ビデオカメラでずっと構えていましたが映像におさめることはできませんでした。カメラやビデオで撮影するのは難しいですね。ワイキキを青い海とともに洋上から眺めるながら気持ちのよいクルーズを楽しめます。
船はやや揺れます。小型船も周囲に来ていましたが、船酔いの心配がある人は大型船の方がいいのかもしれません。

There were only two of us participating from Japan. Everything was explained in fast-paced English, which I couldn't understand at all, but that was expected, so it wasn't a problem. I was satisfied to see the whale's tail from a distance a few times, which was also within my expectations. However, when snacks were being distributed, they didn't even acknowledge us, and when we were getting off, they kept looking at our hands, probably checking if we would leave a tip? I got off the boat feeling disappointed.

日本人の参加は私達2人だけでした。説明など全て早口の英語で全くわからなかったけど、想定内の事なので問題なし。クジラも遠くに尻尾が見える程度でこれも想定内でしたので､何度か見る事ができたので満足でした。ただ、スナックを配ばる際､私達2人には声もかけてもらえず、降りる時､ずっと手元を見られていて、チップ入れるか確認してたのかな？残念な思いで下船しました。

We had a great time joining Star of Honolulu Whale Watch Cruise. The crews were very professional and friendly. They were informative, so we could learn a lot about whales and dolphins of Hawaii. We could see a mother and baby whales, and dolphins too. We highly recommend this tour, and we are also highly recommend transportation option if you are staying at Wikiki area.

The pickup time was accurate, and the stickers on the chest with the numbers 1 and 2 indicate the bus numbers, making it easy to understand. There are explanations in Japanese on the bus. For the onboard explanations, using a smartphone translation app works well. On the way there, I couldn't see any whales, so I thought, "I'm glad I chose this tour because it's enjoyable even if it's just a cruise," but on the way back, I was thrilled to see whales multiple times! I highly recommend this tour for an extraordinary experience! It can be cold if it's windy, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket. I definitely want my acquaintances going to Hawaii to participate!

ピックアップの時間も正確で、胸に貼るシールに1や2とバスの番号がついているので、わかりやすいです。
バスの中では日本語での説明も有ります。
船内の説明はスマホの翻訳機を使えば大丈夫です。
行きはクジラが会えなかったので、「クルーズと考えても気持ちが良いから、このツァーにしてよかった」とおもっていましたが、帰りには何度もクジラに会えたので感激しました!
非日常な時間を過せるこのツァーはお勧めです!
風が強いと寒いので、上着を持参すると良いですね。
HAWAIIに行く知り合いには、是非！参加してほしいです。

I went without much expectation because I had read reviews saying they couldn't see anything, but I was able to see whales spouting and diving about 5 or 6 times! Their tails were huge, and it was truly moving! I tend to get motion sickness easily, but I didn't feel sick at all without taking any medication. However, since the wind can be strong, it's better to bring a jacket. Inside the boat, you go barefoot, and some people spill drinks due to the wind, so wearing something that can get wet is recommended! Also, the shuttle bus for pick-up only stops on the street and doesn't come to call you. Since there's no company name written on it, it doesn't stand out, and it might depend on the driver, but they don't call out names either, so I think it's best to check when a larger van stops. Additionally, those with a pick-up plan arrive in front of the boat 30 minutes early, so you might have some time to kill. (There's an ice cream shop nearby, so you can pass the time there!)

見れなかったという口コミもあったのであまり期待しないで行きましたが、5,6回くらい潮を吹いて潜っていくクジラを見ることができました！
尾鰭だけですがとっても大きくて感動しました！
自分は乗り物酔いしやすいですが、酔い止めなしでも全く酔いませんでした。
ただ風が強いので上着は持って行ったほうがいいです。
船内は裸足ですし、風でドリンクをこぼしたりする方もいるので濡れてもいい格好がおすすめです！
あと、送迎のシャトルバスは通りに止まるだけで呼びにきてはくれません。
会社名が書いてあるわけでもないので目立ちませんし、ドライバーさんによるかもですが名前を呼ばれたりもしないので大きめのバンが止まったら確認しに行くのが良いと思います。
あと送迎付きのプランの方は30分前に船の前に着くので、少々暇です。
（近くにアイス屋さんがあるので時間は潰せると思います！）

We participated as a couple aged 64 and 57. Since it was a trip in February, we boarded the boat with high hopes of definitely encountering whales. It was about a two-hour cruise where we witnessed spouts and large breaths up close. I was a bit disappointed because I thought we would see larger whales closer. The boat was rocking, so we didn't eat any snacks. I'm glad we had this valuable experience.

64歳と57歳の夫婦で参加しました。
２月の旅行だったので鯨に確実に遭遇できるだろうと期待に胸を膨らませて乗船。
潮吹きや大きな息遣いも目の当たりにした約2時間のクルーズでした。
もっと大きな鯨が近くで見られると思っていたので少し残念ではありました。
船が揺れるので軽食は食べませんでした。
貴重な経験ができて良かったです。

Thanks to the other passengers on board who kept pointing out, "It's over there!" I was able to see it several times. The announcements made by the captain when something is spotted are, of course, only in English, so those who don't understand English will have to rely on the reactions of the surrounding passengers. I imagined it would be as luxurious as a show like "Itte Q," but it was surprisingly underwhelming.

一緒に乗船しているお客さんが見つける度にあっちにいるよ！と声をかけてくれたおかげで何度か見ることができました。船長が見つけた時にかけるアナウンスは当たり前に英語のみなので、英語がわからない人は周りのお客さんの反応を頼りにすることになります。イッテQのような豪華な感じを想像していましたが、案外しょぼかったです。

I am 64 years old. I participated because I wanted to see manta rays. The sunset was beautiful and wonderful. However, diving from the boat took courage. Swimming from there to the manta spot was tough, and I had to be pulled by the staff member. It was difficult to float while holding onto the frame and breathing through the snorkel, so I started to observe from the center of the floating frame, which was enough for me. I wonder if I was the only one who felt exhausted. I hope that the enjoyment of watching (which lasted about 20 to 30 minutes) could be a bit easier from the start. I was lucky that I could lie on the frame, which allowed me to use both hands freely for filming, but it was a bit tough until I settled down.

64歳です。見たかったマンタなので参加しました。
夕陽も美しく素晴らしかったです。でも、船からのダイブは勇気がいりました。そこからマンタスポットまで泳いでの移動もしんどくてスタッフのお兄さんに引っ張ってもらいました。両手で枠につかまりながらシュノーケルで息をしながら浮いて見ているのが辛かったので途中から浮き枠に乗って枠の中央から観察させてもらいましたが、それで十分でした。しんどさを感じたのは私だけなのでしょうか。観る楽しさ(20〜30分だったのでしょうか)も、最初からもう少し楽に楽しめたらいいなと思います。私は枠に腹ばいで乗れたおかげで両手が自由に使えて撮影も余裕でできたのでラッキーでしたが、落ち着くまではちょっとしんどかったです。

There is a pickup service from the center of Waikiki, and it takes about 30 minutes to board. Many foreigners participated, and the explanations after departure were primarily in English, but it wasn't a problem at all. About 20 to 30 minutes after departure, we were able to see whales around the area with Diamond Head in front of us. They were small, but we could see them spouting water multiple times and jumping, making the time fly by.

Since it’s a large boat, I think you don’t have to worry too much about it rocking, but it was cold inside the boat, so I recommend bringing a jacket!

ワイキキの中心部からの送迎ありで30分ほどで乗船。外国の方も多く参加されており、出発後の説明などは基本英語でしたが、困ることはなかったです。出発後20分から30分ほどでダイアモンドヘッドを正面に見渡すあたりでクジラを見ることができました。小さめでしたが、何度も潮を吹く様子やジャンプする姿など見ることができ、あっという間の時間でした。

大きな船なので揺れなどはそこまで心配しなくて良いかと思いますが、船内は寒かったので上着を持っていかれる事をお勧めします！

These guys did a great job. Saw many breaching whales! Some even waved at us. Crew was excellent

The initial explanation was like a menu, and there was a Japanese translation guide available. The announcements and commentary on the ship were in English only. I used a translation app to somewhat understand. There were many customers, both Japanese and foreign. I couldn't see clearly up close, but from a distance, I could see the spouting and the back! Above all, the wind was really strong and cold; motion sickness medication is a must! There was an announcement to consult the tour guide if you feel unwell. I'm glad it didn't rain, and the view of Diamond Head from the sea was very beautiful.

最初の説明はメニューみたいな感じで日本語訳の説明書あり。
船内のアナウンス、実況は英語のみです。翻訳アプリを自分で使ってなんとなく分かる感じ。
お客さんは日本人も外国人も沢山いました。
近くではっきりとは見えなかったけど遠目で潮吹きと背中が見えました！
何より風がすごい強くて寒かったです、酔い止めは必須です！体調悪くなったら添乗員に相談してくださいとアナウンスありました。
雨が降らなくて良かった、海からのダイアモンドヘッドもとても綺麗でした。

It was no one’s fault that the day we went was windy and they had to turn the boat around after they said “this is where most whales hang around.” We got to see a blow hole and one fluke which was fun but it was at the very end of our trip so we didn’t get to stay and watch the group of whales any further. The captain did delay our return 15 minutes to see the whale that we did see which was very nice! Overall, it was no one’s fault that the weather wasn’t the best but to me it felt like a waste of my time and money and I was disappointed in the end

Check-in is easy to find next to the anchored Star Honolulu. A large ship welcomes you with the captain as you board. After boarding, everyone waits in seats on the first floor and listens to an explanation from a whale expert for about 15 minutes after departure. If you are seated before departure, you can purchase drinks, snacks, and bagels for a fee. There are important explanations about the size of the whales and how to identify their location by relating it to the positions of the clock hands. Once the explanation is finished, everyone moves to their preferred floor. Whales can be seen very well from any deck. I was able to see the whales' spouts and tails up close, and most importantly, the captain takes the time to show the whales to the children when they are spotted. Thanks to this, we were able to see the whales multiple times, and the kids were very satisfied. It became a wonderful memory.

チェックインは停船しているスターホノルル号の隣でわかりやすい場所でできます。大きな船にキャプテンが出迎えてくれて乗り込みます。乗船後全員一階の席で待機し、出航後15分くらいはくじら専門家の方の説明を聞きます。出航前から着席すると、ドリンクやスナック、ベーグル等有料購入できます。鯨の大きさなどの説明や、鯨がいる場所を時計の針に見立てて何時方向に見えると乗客に伝えること等の重要な説明があります。説明が終わると一斉に好きなfloorへ移動します。どの階でもとても良く鯨が見えました。思っていたよりも近くで鯨の潮吹きや尻尾をはっきり見ることができ、何よりも、しっかり子供も見れるように鯨を発見するとキャプテンは時間をかけて見せてくれます。そのおかげで何度も鯨を見る事ができて子供も大満足でした。とても良い思い出になりました。

It was the coolest thing to do! Wasn't quite sure what to expect, but loved it. Getting that close to the fish underwater. Amazing.

A disclaimer agreement is sent via email in English beforehand, so all participants need to check it and return it. I used Google Lens to roughly translate it, checked it, and replied, but since it was a boat activity, it was a long document.

Although it was more expensive than other tours, it was nice that we could embark without moving. However, the reception location was hard to find, and the meeting place was also unclear. Although it was supposed to start at 1 PM, we were told it would be from 1 to 8 PM on the day, which made it feel like we were starting off late. (The port call was around 3:30 PM.)

Unfortunately, on the day I participated, we didn’t see any whales or dolphins, just a turtle floating by, and it turned out to be more of a cruise around Diamond and other scenic spots. It seemed like they really tried hard to find something since they are in the business. In such cases, you will receive a reboarding ticket when you disembark. If you wish, you can also make a reservation for the next day on your way back.

I couldn’t ask in detail since I’m not fluent in English, but I was told that the ticket can be used the following year or anytime after. Just let them know over the phone that you have the reboarding ticket to make a reservation. (I believe they also mentioned that you could transfer to other sunset cruises. It seems that if it’s a more expensive tour, there might be a difference in cost.)

The reboarding ticket has the number of participants written on it, and I was told that it cannot be split into individual tickets for two people to use separately. So, it might be better not to set the reboarding for the last day of your trip!

The explanation on the boat right after boarding was, of course, in native-speed English, and the safety instructions were quite long. Since I’m not fluent in English, I didn’t understand it well, which made me a bit cautious about safety.

As for moving around the boat, there are open spaces at the front and back without a roof, seating inside, and some tables. There is a restroom in the starboard lower deck. There’s also a bar counter inside the boat. Free chips and snacks are available on the tables inside. If you sit outside, the staff will come to take your drink orders. Free soft drinks include pineapple, guava, Sprite, Coca-Cola, and water. You can have as many as you want for free, but tips are appreciated.

In the end, we didn’t see any whales, but since you can board again if you don’t see any, it might be nice for those with time to enjoy multiple cruises. By the way, when I asked if there were whales yesterday, they said there were. Personally, I think the afternoon departure, unlike other tours, might increase the chances of seeing them.

The boat rocked quite a bit. It’s dangerous to move around while it’s moving, so it’s best to hold onto the handrails and go slowly. Those who are sensitive might get seasick. The sun was shining brightly, so be careful of sunburn. Since it rocked a lot and I didn’t move around, I couldn’t take many pictures of the boat.

I hope this information is helpful.

（事前に免責事項の同意書が英語のメールで送られてくるので、参加人全員がチェックを入れて戻す必要がありました。グーグルレンズ利用でざっと訳してチェックを入れて返信しましたが、船のアクティビティなので、長い文章でした）
他のツアーより割高だが、移動せずに出航できてよかった。ただし、受付の場所がわかりにくく、集合場所もよくわからず、13時からであるが当日で13－20と言われ、はいはい遅れるのね・・・というスタートでした。（寄港は15：30くらい）

また、仕方ないですが、参加した日は鯨はみられませんでして、イルカもみられず、ちらっと亀が浮いているだけで、ダイヤモンドやその他景色をクルージングしたような形になりました。向こうも商売なので、かなり粘って探してくれたように感じました。
そういう場合は、降りる際に、再乗船できるチケットをいただけます。希望すれば帰りにそのまま翌日の予約もできます。

英語が堪能でないので詳しくは聞けませんでしたが、翌年でもそのあとでも、ずっと使えるよ。電話でその再乗船券を持っていることを伝えて予約してね。とのことでした。（他のサンセットクルーズなどにも振り替えができると説明していたと思われます。より高いツアーであれば差額が必要っぽい）
再乗船のための券が、人数がかかれているものであり、二人別々に使うように一名ずつのチケットに分割することはできないと言われましたので、再利用はその旅行内にできるように、最終日に設定しない方がいいのかもしれません！

乗船した後すぐの船の上での説明は、当然ネイティブスピードの英語での注意事項説明などが、結構長くありまして、英語が堪能でないのでよくわかっておりませんでしたので、安全上ちょっと怪しげだったので気をつけました。

船上の動き方としては、屋根がない前と後ろのスペースと、船内に座れるところ、一部テーブルがあり、船内右舷地下にトイレがあります。船内にバーカウンターもあります。船内のテーブルには無料のチップスなどが置いてあります。外に座っていると、係の方がドリンクのオーダーを取りに来てくれます。無料のソフトドリンクは、パイナップル、グアバ、スプライト、コカコーラ、水などがあります。何杯でも無料ですがチップをちょうだいね。のシステムのようでした。

結果、鯨はみられませんでしたが、みられないとまた船に乗れるので、時間がある方にとっては、何度もクルージングできていいかもしれません。ちなみに昨日は鯨はいたか？と聞いてみたら、いたよー。ということでした。個人的には他のツアーと違っての午後出発なので、時間帯的にみられる可能性が高い低いあるかもなと思ったりしています。

船、結構揺れました。動いている途中の移動は危険なので手すり捕まってゆっくりがよさそうです。弱い人は酔うかもです。日光さんさんとしていて、日焼け危険です。揺れが大きくて移動しなかったので、船の写真はあまりとれませんでした。

以上、参考になれば。

The wind was blowing really hard, so it was a bit challenging, but seeing the whales made everything forgivable. I was worried about seasickness, but the boat was large and safe, so it was very comfortable. If it had been a small boat, it would have been much harder in the big waves.

風が強くて船揺れを心配しましたが、思っていたより揺れもなくクジラのいる場所にたどりつけました。
たくさんクジラがいるのは潮を吹いててわかるのですが、なかなか身体を見せてくれませんでした。しっぽは何度がみれたのは幸いです。
