Went out on the whale watch tour today and we saw 4 whales - 2 large whales together at first and then a mother and calf. They popped up several times during the cruise and saw their tails in the air a few times. They also came quite close to the ship at times. Recommended to do a whale watching tour. Our naturalist onboard (Dez) was knowledgeable about whales and their migration patterns. There is some periods throughout the cruise where you just have to be patient for 10-15 minutes at a time until they pop back up or another whale is spotted but it's worth the wait. The tour felt a little short as I wanted to see more however it was probably the right amount of time. The whales even waved goodbye as we headed off.

I was able to see parts of the whale multiple times, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the whole body. However, I guess that's just up to the whale's mood. On the ship, I enjoyed hula lessons and making leis until we reached the shore!
くじらのパーツパーツは何回も見れたけれど、体全体がみれなかったのが少し残念。でも、こればかりはくじらの機嫌次第なのでしょうがいない。

There were no Japanese staff, and I felt a bit of a sense of alienation or that I was falling behind because I couldn't catch some of the words. I'm relieved that I was able to see the whales. The boat might be a bit tough for those who are not strong.
日本語スタッフもいないしちょっと言葉が聞き取れずなにか疎外感というか遅れてる感がありました。クジラには会えてほっとしています。船は弱い人にはちょっと厳しいですかね。。

The pickup was at the hotel at 9:55 AM. We arrived at the port by 10:30 AM, but after being dropped off at the port, there was no explanation, and the car disappeared. I tried to find the Bodyglobe boat but couldn't locate it. When I asked people around, they said the check-in was at 12:30 PM.
The gap between the pickup time and the check-in time was too wide, which was a problem. As for the whales, I was able to see them, but only a small tail far away... (>_<) It was disappointing, but I did get to see a pod of dolphins on the way back, and we were able to stay on the boat for nearly three hours. While it lacked excitement, it was lucky to see both the whales and the dolphins! The fruit was delicious too!
ピックアップが、ホテルに09時55分でした。港には10時半にはつきましたが、港に降ろされて何も説明なく、車はいなくなってしまい、bodyglobeの船を探したが、見つかりません。周りの人に聞いてみると、12時半チェックインとのこと。

肝心のクジラは、きちんと見ることが出来ましたが、とても遠くに小さなしっぽだけ…(>_<)残念でしたが、イルカの群れが帰り際に見れたことと、三時間近く船に乗ることが出来ました。迫力は足りなかったけど、クジラとイルカの群れが見れたのはlucky!でした。果物も美味しかった!

We went on a cruise on a large ship from the morning. The scenery was absolutely amazing! The special feeling of being able to view the cityscape of Honolulu from the sea and the impressive sight of Diamond Head was fantastic. The ship was big, so I didn't get seasick at all. It had about three floors, and at first, everyone was seated, but once the ship started moving, we could move around freely. Everyone was out on the deck taking lots of photos.
The only disappointment was that we didn't see any whales... The captain and the crew were really persistent in searching with binoculars, but sometimes they just aren't around, even in winter. Since it's all about nature, there's nothing we can do. If you don't see any whales, you can apply for a free ticket to go on another cruise next time. I didn't take it due to my limited stay.
By the way, I opted for a plan that included breakfast, but it was just regular food. When asked if it was delicious... well, it was okay, I guess... However, since we had an early morning gathering, I decided to include it.
Anyway, I felt fully satisfied just thinking about going on a morning cruise!
大きな船に乗って朝からクルージング。とにかく景色が最高でした!海からホノルルの街並みを眺められる特別感、ダイアモンドヘッドを横切る迫力、とてもよかったです。船も大きいので、まず酔いません。3階くらいまであり、最初はみなさん席についていますが、ある程度船が動き出してしまえば、自由に移動。みなさん甲板に出て写真バチバチでした。
残念だったのは、クジラが見られなかったこと・・・。船長さん?や、船員さん達も双眼鏡でかなり粘ってさがしてくれましたが・・・。冬でも見られない時があるのですね。自然が相手のお話なので、しかたありません。見られなかった場合は、また次回クルージングできる無料券を申し込めば貰えます。私は滞在日数の関係上、もらいませんでした。
ちなみに朝食を付けたプランにしたのですが、まぁ普通のごはんです。おいしいか・・・と言われると、う~ん、そこまでか・・も・・・。ただ早朝の集合でしたので、つけました。
ともあれ、朝、クルージングに行ってきた!と思えば、充分満足です。

On the day of the trip, it was raining and the sea was rough. My younger child quickly got seasick and slept inside the boat the whole time. However, quite a few other people also got seasick. During the two-hour trip, we only saw whales for about 10 minutes, but we were able to see them up close several times, which was nice. The best part was when my older child was looking at the sea from the deck on the opposite side of the boat and said they were happy to have seen dolphins.
I think it would have been fine without the meal. I felt that dining on the boat is not something I would want to do for a while.
当日は雨で海は荒れていました。下の子はすぐに船酔いになりずっと船内で寝ていました。ただ、他の人達も結構の数の人が船酔いになっていました。2時間のうちでクジラを見れたのは10分程度でしたが、近くで何回も見れたのでよかったです。一番よかったのは、上の子がクジラと反対側のデッキで海を眺めていたらイルカを見れたと言って喜んでいたことです。
なお食事は無くてもよかったと思うレベルです。船上での食事は当分いいと思いました。

This is about luck. I think it would be wonderful to see a jump, but it seems that due to regulations, you can't get too close to the whales, so it might be quite difficult to get the full picture. Since there are many passengers on the large boat, I think the price is reasonable.
これは運です。ジャンプが見られれば素晴らしいと思いますが、法令であまりクジラの近くには行けないそうなので、全体像をつかむことは中々難しそうです。大きい船で乗客もたくさんいるので値段も相応かなと思います。

This time, I signed up for whale watching for the first time. I chose the daytime plan. The food was tastier than I had imagined. However, when I did dolphin watching in Guam, I was able to see them up close. It seems that due to the law, we can't get too close, but I only saw the whales' backs about four or five times, and I wish I could have seen them a bit closer.

We participated in this optional tour during our first trip to Hawaii with my mother, two daughters, and husband. It was the girls' strong desire to join, but... we only saw the tail and back for a very short time. Even so, we were excited and shouted loudly, but I wondered if only very lucky people get to see the dynamic sight like in the photos. Moreover, the captain would say, "In the direction of ○○ o'clock," but everything was in English. While the foreigners moved quickly, the Japanese were all confused and flustered. In the meantime, the foreigners took the spots, and we couldn't get onto the deck. The announcements were mostly in English, and the crew also spoke almost exclusively in English. When we asked if anyone understood Japanese, they just shook their heads. We hardly understood any explanations. If we're going to spend half a day on this tour, I thought it would be more effective to extend our time for shopping around Waikiki or Kahala.
母と娘二人と夫の5人で人生初のハワイ旅行で、このオプショナルに参加しました。娘達のたっての希望で、参加したのですが...見えたのはほんの短い時間、尻尾と背中がちょっぴりでした。それでも、興奮して大きな声は出ましたが、写真のようなダイナミックな姿を見られるのは本当に運の良い人だけなのかな、と思いました。そして、何より、船長さんが「○○時の方向」と教えてくれるのですが、全て英語のみで、外人の方々はさっさと移動するのですが、日本人は皆、分からずオロオロ。その間に外人の方々に場所を取られてデッキに入れず。アナウンスも英語ばかりで、クルーの方々もほぼ英語のみで、日本語のわかる方、ときいても、首を振られるばかり。説明などはほぼわかりませんでした。このツアーに半日を費やすのなら、ワイキキやカハラ辺りまで、足を伸ばしてショッピングに時間を使う方が有効だな、と思いました。

Body glove out did themselves, our tour was awesome. We saw multiple whales and the naturalist on board gave really great information. He really knew his stuff. We had a great time.

It would have been nice if it was something you could enjoy just by looking at it, but it was really presented like a traditional play, so I didn't understand it well without any explanations in Japanese. However, before the show, they taught hula dancing in the square and did some painting, which was enjoyable, so that was good.
目だけで見て楽しめる感じだったら良かったのですが、本当伝統を劇みたいな感じでみせてくれるものだったので、日本語で説明もなくよくわからなかったです。でもショーの前にも広場でフラダンスを教えてくれたりとか、ペイントしてくれたりとか楽しませてくれたので、それは良かったです。
Dear Mai,
Thank you very much for attending the Island Breeze Luau Show.
Some guests mention that language barriers are not an issue, but we believe that improving communication is very important.
We will continue to make improvements to ensure that the show is enjoyable for everyone, especially for our Japanese guests.
We hope you will join us again for the Luau Show.
Thank you for your feedback.

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely recommended!
It was super fun, wonderful, and the best! ☆
I just wanted to stay warm, so I layered on some random clothes to participate, but... I really regretted that we looked so uncool when we could have taken so many beautiful photos (laughs).
Ah! But it was truly amazing! The starry sky was incredible! Thinking back, the emotions from that time come flooding back and I feel like crying (;_;)!
Thank you!!!
絶対絶対絶対オススメ!
めちゃめちゃ楽しかった素敵だった最高だったー☆
とにかく寒さしのげればいいやって気持ちで適当な服を重ね着しまくって参加したんだけど…せーっかくのキレイな写真をたくさんたくさん撮れるのに、自分達がだっさい格好なことがあとあとすんごい悔やまれた(笑)
あー!でも本当に素敵だった!星空やばい!思い出すとあの時の感動がよみがえってなんか泣けてきます(;_;)!
ありがとー!!!
Haleakalā, chosen as one of the world's premier astronomical observation sites, offers a breathtaking view of a starry sky that cannot be seen in urban areas. The gradient of colors after sunset, including the green flash visible at sunset, creates a stunning scene that can be enjoyed all the way until midnight sunset time. The kind smiles of everyone taking photos against this backdrop will become cherished memories for a lifetime. Please come back to enjoy that starry sky space again! I look forward to our reunion.
世界でも有数な天文観測場所に選ばれているハレアカラですので、都会の空では見られない満天の星空が堪能できます。サンセット時にみられる
グリーフラッシュなど日が沈んでからのグラデーションも思わず息を呑む景色がミッドナイトサンセットタイムまで楽しめます。それをバックに写真に撮っていく皆さんの優しい笑顔が一生の思い出になりますよね。またあの星空の空間に遊びに来てくださいね!再会を楽しみにしています。

3 Star was really all-time famous.
seat was really tight due to many passangers.
food was not that great. I guess 5 star only would provide great taste.
other that that, the trip was safe, view - great. Thanks.

I signed up for this tour because I was with my mother-in-law. It was an English tour, and I was happy that the crew took care of us. However, the water in October was cold, and there were some waves. Additionally, there weren't many fish, and there weren't many dolphins either. You can swim in the sea, but I think snorkeling might not be that great.
義理のお母さんと一緒なので、このツアーに申し込みました。英語ツアーでしたが、クルーの人たちは私達を気にかけてくれて嬉しかったです。
ただ、10月の海の水は冷たいのと少し波がたかかったです。あとは、あまり魚たちがおらず、イルカもあまりいませんでした。海では泳げますが、シュノーケルはいまいちかなと思います。
