All Reviews for Cruise Ship Shore Excursions

I was really lucky to meet dolphins and whales. However, the waves were rough that day, and I got seasick... I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

イルカやくじらに会うこともできて本当にラッキーでした。
ただその日は波が荒く船酔いに…酔い止めお勧めします

We used this for our honeymoon!
The view, the food, and the show were all amazing.
The service and atmosphere were wonderful, and I was truly moved.
During the countdown moment, we celebrated with fireworks over Waikiki Beach,
blowing our vuvuzelas on the deck with everyone,
Happy New Year!
I will cherish the photos you took of us at the table.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the last-minute change in transportation,
but I am grateful for your kind and sincere response.
Thank you for the best memory of a lifetime! ♡

一生に一度の最高の思い出を
ありがとうございました♡泣

This was my third time participating in whale watching, but unfortunately, there were no signs of them coming to the surface this time.

It was disappointing, but the weather was nice, and I had a great time leisurely watching Waikiki Beach. I felt a bit anxious when I saw black smoke rising from the sea.

I hope to try again next time!

3度目のホエールウォッチングへの参加でしたが、今回はご縁がなく一度も水面に上がってくる気配がありませんでした～

残念でしたが、お天気がよくワイキキビーチをのんびり眺める良い時間でした。
海上より立ち上がる黒い煙を眺めるタイミングにザワザワしてしまいました。

また次回リベンジしたいと思います！

At first, I was worried about whether I would see whales, but once we got out to sea, I was able to see spouts and the tails as they entered the water. I couldn't see the whole whale, but it was great to witness such a dynamic scene.

Additionally, the weather was calm that day, and the sea breeze felt refreshing, washing away my worries.

I opted for breakfast this time, but it felt a bit rushed to grab it before departure, so I didn't really enjoy it leisurely. This was a disappointing aspect, but I plan to skip breakfast next time.

While whales are the main attraction, enjoying the view of Waikiki from the sea while feeling the ocean breeze is also a delight.

はじめはクジラが見れるか不安でしたが、いざ海に出てみると潮吹きや海に入る際の尾びれなどを見ることができました。くじらの全体像は見れませんでしたが、ダイナミックな光景を見れたのはよかったです。
また、この日は風も穏やかで海風が気持ちよく、気持ちを洗い流された感じです。
今回は朝食を付けたのですが、出港前にあわただしく取りにいく感じてゆっくり食べた気はしませんでした。このあたりは残念な点でしたが、次回は朝食無しでお願いするつもりです。
クジラがメインではありますが、海風にあたりながら海からワイキキを見るのも一興です。

The free coupon mentioned in the reviews can only be used this season, so it seems like it's limited to residents...

The breakfast was delicious!

口コミに書いてあった次回使える無料クーポンは
今シーズンのみとのことできっと行けるのは住んでる方限定ですね、、

朝食美味しかったです！

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. I tried hard to find them, but I couldn't. I heard that I could get a re-boarding ticket, but there is no transportation provided, and if I don't see any whales next time, I would feel even more disappointed, so I decided not to take the re-boarding ticket.

クジラにあえず残念でした。がんばって探したのですが、見つからず。再乗船券ももらえるようですが、送迎などは無く、次回もクジラに会えなかったらもっと残念に思うので、再乗船券はもらいませんでした。

They jumped beautifully with Diamond Head in the background. I wish they could jump again since we could see it so close to the land.

ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにして綺麗にジャンプしてくれました。あんなに陸の近くで見れるなんて、もう一回ジャンプしてほしかった。

The weather was calm, and the boat seemed to be less crowded, allowing us to enjoy it leisurely.

We encountered dolphins along the way, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales.

I had heard that this time of year has a high chance of seeing them, so that was a bit disappointing...

穏やかな天気のなか
船も空いてる様で
ゆったりと楽しめました

途中イルカに遭遇しました
ただ残念ながら鯨は見れませんでした

この時期高い確率で見れると言う事でしたが
そこだけが残念…

I often go to Hawaii during summer vacation, but this time I decided to go in January for the first time, so I participated in a whale watching cruise to see the winter whales. It was a cloudy day with strong winds and high waves, which might be why the whales were not showing up. The captain announced that we would be turning back today, and the boat started to head back.

Then, from the other side, there was a cheer! Surprisingly, a whale was spouting water! And even its large tail fin! The boat made another U-turn to get closer to the whale. I'm grateful to the kind captain.

ハワイは夏休みに行くことが多く、今回はじめて１月に行くことになったので、冬のくじらに会いたいとホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。この日は曇り空で風も強く、波が高かったせいかなかなか鯨が出てきてくれず、キャプテンから今日はUターンするとのアナウンスがあり船は引き返すことに。
そこへ反対側からなにやら歓声が！なんと、鯨が潮を吹いているではありませんか！そして大きな尾びれまで！
船はもう一度Uターンして鯨のそばまで行ってくれました。やさしいキャプテンに感謝です。

meal was very good, show was very good, tables for two were to close together.
We meat Japanese couple next to us that did not speak English
we talked all night with help of their phone translation app.
At the end of the night they were so happy someone talked to them, they invited
us to Japan to stay with them during the next Olympics

Since it was my first time on Maui, I wanted to join a tour and signed up. Just like many reviews said, it was truly the best tour! I was very moved by the sunset and starry sky seen from above the clouds. Our guide, Yamapi, was very kind, knowledgeable, and had an interesting way of talking, which made the journey enjoyable as well. This time, the weather at the summit was good, and I was very lucky to see a nene! I thought I might not have another chance to come to Maui, but this tour made me want to come back to see that scenery again no matter what! Thank you so much, Yamapi!

マウイ島に初めて来たので、何かツアーに参加したいと思い申し込みました。たくさんの口コミ通り本当に最高のツアーでした！雲の上から見る夕日と星空にはとても感動しました。ガイドのヤマピーさんもとても優しく、知識が豊富で話も面白いので道中も楽しかったです。また今回は山頂の天気も良く、ネネまで会えてとても運が良かったです！マウイ島にはもう来れる機会はないかなあと思っていましたが、また何としてもあの景色を見るためにマウイ島に来たいと思えるツアーでした！！ヤマピーさん本当にありがとうございました！！

Every detal covered.
Very friendly smooth sailing. Performers are multi talented and put heart into the shows.

Fun for all ages.

There weren't many fish, and the colors were not very vibrant, which was a bit disappointing, but I had a good experience. Thank you.

魚があまりいなく、色もカラフルでなく若干残念でしたが、良い体験はできました。ありがとうございました・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

I knew that the tour would be conducted in English. However, since the order of the meals was predetermined and it was different from what I expected, I felt a bit flustered. Thanks to the staff's coordination, I was able to have a great time. Thank you very much. I believe this is a tour that many Japanese people would like to participate in, so I think it would be sufficient to write on a paper in Japanese: "1. Those with a red wristband should be the first to get up and go for the salad, meat, etc." "Yellow is second." I believe that by simply showing the translated version, it will help overcome the language barrier and allow everyone, not just Japanese people, to participate.

ツアーは英語で行なわれることは知っていました。ただ食事の順番が決められていたので、その順番が違っていたので、あたふたしましたが、スタッフの連携のおかげで、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。日本人も多く参加したいツアーだと思いますので、紙に日本語で書いて「１．リストバンドの赤の色の人は、１番最初に席を立ち、サラダ、お肉等を取りに行ってください。」「黄色は２番目です」翻訳した分を見せるだけでいいと思います。言語の壁を乗り越えたツアーに日本人だけではないのですが皆が参加できるようになると思います。

The ship was heaving too much. My family got seasick. But I could watch whales.

Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. However, the breakfast buffet on the ship was very delicious, and we were able to relax while enjoying the vast ocean view. I look forward to the next opportunity.

残念ながら鯨を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし船の上での朝ご飯バイキングはとても美味しく、広大な海を眺めてのんびりとした時間を過ごすことができました。
また次の機会に期待します。

I only saw the whale twice, and it was just the tail and the spout. Also, the waves were a bit rough, and I felt sick; it was painful for two hours. One hour would have been enough.

くじらが2回しか見えませんでした。それもシッポと潮吹きだけでした。また、波が少し荒く、気分が悪くなり、2時間は苦痛でした。1時間でじゅうぶんでした。

We were seated at a central window table. There was a leak from the ceiling (it was a sunny day).

Right after we started our meal, water droplets began falling onto our food and clothes. Our clothes were ruined, and of course, we couldn't eat. Three groups, including us, totaling eight people, faced this unfortunate situation.

Everyone was quite mature about it; no one got angry or excited. Instead, there were wry smiles of disbelief. But the mood definitely plummeted! It took a long time for them to respond, and as the countdown approached, we were finally moved to a new table and given food near the dimly lit back of the ship, close to the door leading outside the cabin.

We were looked at with puzzled expressions by other guests. We couldn't see the show in front of us, and our appetite had already vanished.

Despite splurging on a good seat, it turned into the worst countdown that I will remember for a lifetime. Of course, the captain did offer an apology...

中央の窓際席でした。天井より水漏れあり。（当日は晴天でした。）
食事開始早々に水滴が料理や洋服に落ちてきました。
洋服は台無しだし、食事はもちろん食べられません。
我々を含め３組８名の方が災難にあいました。
流石に皆さん大人です。切れて興奮する方はいませんでした。逆に呆れて苦笑い。でも気分は大盛り下がり！
対応に時間がかかりカウントダウンが近くなってようやく新しい席と料理が薄暗い船後部の通路・キャビン外に出るドア付近に設定されました。
他のお客さんに怪訝そうな目で見られました。
前方でのショウも見れませんし、すでに食欲はなくなっていました。

奮発していい席を取ったのに、一生記憶に残る最悪のカウントダウンになりました。
もちろん、キャプテンのお詫びの言葉はありましたが・・・

This year, I went to Hawaii for the first time for a countdown party on the ocean!

The ship was so big, I wondered how many people could fit on it!

As soon as we boarded, we were served champagne, and the full-course meal along with the bottle of wine was absolutely delicious.

Finally! We went out on the deck for the countdown: 3, 2, 1.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The fireworks were amazing, and I was so moved that I cried.

It became a wonderful memory.

I want to spend the end of the year on a dinner cruise in Hawaii again!

今年はハワイ(^^♪
初めて、海の上でのカウントダウンパーティー(#^.^#)

すごい大きな船で、何名乗るの～？！
ってくらい大きな船でした。

乗船してすぐ、シャンパンをいただき、
お料理のフルコース、ボトルワインまで、最高に美味しかったです(^^♪

いよいよ！　デッキに出てカウントダウン　　３．２．１．
ＨＡＰＰＹＮＥＷＥＡＲ
花火が最高　　感激で涙が出ました(#^^#)

素敵な思い出になりました♡

また、年末はハワイのディナークルーズで過ごしたいです(^^♪

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. However, the weather for the cruising was perfect, so I felt good.

クジラが見えなかったことが残念でした。しかしクルージングには最高の天気だったので、気分は良かったです。

We had the perfect day to Watch Whales and go to see several in the bay. Great Cruise and Crew and the Buffet Lunch was pretty tasty.

The sunset was very beautiful and amazing. However, the dinner on the cruise ship was disappointing, so my rating is a bit lower. I had dinner at another restaurant afterwards.

サンセットとても綺麗で最高でした。が、客船タイプディナーがお粗末で評価は少しがっかり。
また、別の店でディナーしました。

On January 2nd, I participated in the first day of the whale watching season. The weather was perfect, and I was excited to join, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. It seems that sometimes days like this happen, but if you don't see any whales, you can show a re-participation ticket (issued at the ticket center after disembarking) to get on another boat for free during that season. However, you must make your own way to the boarding area.

Due to our schedule, we couldn't try again during our stay this time, but if you're really eager to see whales, it might be a good idea to plan for a backup day in case you don't see any.

However, we did get to see a pod of dolphins, and the staff were all very kind.

1月2日、クジラウォッチングシーズンの初日に参加。
最高のお天気でワクワクしながら参加しましたが、残念ながら、クジラは見れませんでした。
たまにはこんな日もあるようですが、見れなかった場合、再参加のチケット(船を降りてからチケットセンターで発行)を見せればその年のシーズン中は再度船に無料で乗せてくれるみたいです。
但し、船乗り場までは自分で来ることが条件です。
私達は今回はスケジュールの都合上、滞在中に再度トライはできませんでしたが、どうしてもクジラを見たい方は、もしも見れなかった時の為に予備日も考えていたらいいかもしれません。

でも、イルカの群れを少し見ることができましたし、スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切でした。

I thought we would go a bit further out to watch, but we started watching near the island. I expected to see whales as close as in the photos, but they were a bit far away, and we could only see their dorsal fins. I think there are hits and misses, but it's disappointing.

もう少し沖に出てウォッチするかと思ったら島の近くで待機してウォッチング開始。写真ほどのホェールを観れると思いきやちょっと遠い上に背鰭が見れる程度でした。当たり外れはあると思いますが残念です。

I participated on the first day of the season. I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. It was disappointing since the kids were also looking forward to it, but I understand that it's all about luck. If I have the chance to come back in winter, I would like to try again.

シーズン初めての日に参加しました。
楽しみにしていましたがクジラを見ることができませんでした。こればっかりは運もあるので仕方がなかったのですが、子供達も楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
冬に来る機会があればリベンジしたいと思います。

It was the countdown I was expecting.
I had a great time.
The food was decent.
One bottle of wine for two people was too much. While we did get a window seat as promised, it was disappointing that we couldn't see the stage.

期待していたとおりのカウントダウンでした。
楽しかったです。
料理もまずまず。
ワイン2人に一本は多すぎでした。窓際確約もそのとおりでしたが、ステージが見えなかったのは残念でした。

It was worth the money.
Loved the food and the performance
Just awesome

I took the New Year's Eve cruise on December 31st. The ship rocked quite a bit.

I didn't expect it to sway that much. I took some motion sickness medication, which helped a little.

12/31の年越しクルーズを利用しました。
かなり船が揺れた。

あそこまで揺れるとは想定してなかったです。
酔い止め薬を飲んで少し楽になりましたが。

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel and participated because I am learning hula. As others have mentioned, I don't think reconfirmation is necessary. When I arrived around 5 PM, there was a long line. Most of the people were foreigners. Arriving by canoe from the sea was something unique that other luau shows don't have, and it was very lovely. The food was quite tasty. The show was exciting and enjoyable. It would have been even better if there had been a modern hula show as well.

キングカメカメハホテルに滞在していたのと、フラを習っているので参加しました。
他の方も書かれているように、リコンファームは必要ないかと思います。
17時頃に行くと長蛇の列。
殆どが外国の方でした。
海からカヌーでの登場は他のルアウショーにはなく、とても素敵でした。
お料理は普通に美味しかったです。
ショーの内容も迫力があって楽しめました。
現代フラのショーもあったら尚良かったかな。

There are many similar tours, and I was a bit confused during the pickup. Since there are few staff members who can speak Japanese, it might be tough if you can't speak at all.

The show itself was enjoyable, but there were some experiences that were not available on the day.

似たようなツアーが多く、ピックアップ時に少し迷った。
日本語を対応できるスタッフが少ない、もしくはいないため多少なりと喋れないと辛いかもしれない。

ショー自体は楽しかったが、体験できるものが当日ないものもあった。
