Wow! what an entertainer Harry was & related so well to us being Aussies & accustomed to the surfing fraternity. We're recently retired & I was on crutches after an operation & nothing was too much trouble. He made special trip in between activities to come & pick me up from Waimea Falls to save me walking. We couldn't praise him enough. Go Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful insight into life on the North Shore of Oahu.

The whale showed its tail and pectoral fins several times. Even without a tour, you can see whales from points like Makapu'u during this season, but you can't get as close as you can on a tour. I wish I could have seen it jump!
しっぽと胸ビレをバタバタ何度か見せてくれました。
ツアーでなくてもこの時期はマカプウ等の岬からもクジラみれますが、やはりツアーほどの近いポジションで拝めることはなかったです。
ジャンプが見れたらよかったなぁ!

I was able to participate with my 6-year-old daughter. Before we started, she was a bit scared and on the verge of tears, but once we took off, she really enjoyed it. Also, I had to decline the photo service because I didn't have any cash, but later I found out that card payment was possible, and I regretted it...
6歳の娘と参加できました。やる前になってビビって半ベソ状態でしたが、いざテイクオフしたら、楽しんでいましたよ。

I tried not to get my hopes up too much, but in the end, I was very satisfied. We were able to see whales up close multiple times, and both the kids and adults were extremely excited. I think luck plays a part, but I can definitely recommend it.
期待し過ぎにないようにしていましたが、結果的にとても満足しました。

I participated with half expectations, considering it was nature. Although I didn't get to see the jumping whales, I was able to see the magnificent spouts and tails up close, right in front of the deck where I was standing. I was so mesmerized that I forgot to take pictures.
The breakfast was delicious too.
With the blue sky and blue sea, and the Hawaiian music flowing gently inside the boat, I think that alone makes it worth the experience.
自然相手ということもあり、期待半分で参加しました。さすがにジャンプするクジラの姿は見れなかったものの、ちょうど立っていたデッキの真ん前+結構近い距離で、豪快な潮吹きと尾びれを見ることができました。あまりの事に見とれてしまい、写真撮るのを忘れました。w
朝食も美味しかったです。
青い空と青い海。ゆったり船内に流れるハワイアンミュージック。もうそれだけで体験する価値はあるかな、と思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the whales up close. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

I participated with my one-and-a-half-year-old child. I was worried about seasickness, but there was no need to worry about the rocking. My child was delighted to spot a whale and pointed it out! The weather was great, and it was very elegant to look at Waikiki from the sea. We enjoyed the cruise thoroughly. We didn't order breakfast and brought our own bread to eat. Coffee can be purchased on board for $4 if you order it. I'm glad I participated! We drove to the meeting point and were able to park in a nearby parking lot for $5. It was convenient because we could head out right after it was over.

We went to Hawaii for our wedding anniversary. I was really looking forward to whale watching, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any. It's a natural occurrence, so I understand, but I would have been happy to see at least something else if we couldn't see the whales. It's disappointing.

At the meeting point, I was told, "You can see them today!!" and indeed, I was able to clearly see the spouting and the tail fin.
The instructor provides directions in Japanese on where to look.
Since the ocean is vast and a bit far away, it's better to bring binoculars.
To get closer, we turned off the engine and approached while swaying with the waves, which made me seasick, so I stayed on the observation deck the whole time. If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
Before boarding the boat, they take photos, which I purchased to take home.
集合場所で、「今日は見れますよ!!」と言われた通り、
潮を吹くのや、尾びれなどがはっきりと見えました。
インストラクターの方が、見える方向などを日本語で教えてくれます。
やはり広い海、少し遠いので、オペラグラスを持って行ったほうがいいです。
近づく為に、エンジンを切って波に揺れながら近づくので私は船酔いしてしまい、
展望デッキにずっといました。
乗り物酔いされる方は酔い止めを飲まれたほうがいいかもしれません。
船に乗る前に写真を撮ってくれるのですが、それを購入して帰りました。

My wife and I participated in the 150m experience. It was our first time, and I was excited while my wife was nervous, but once we took off, my wife was overjoyed and thrilled, while I ended up feeling a bit scared (laughs). I was holding a video camera in one hand (just an excuse). But even though I was scared, it felt amazing and exhilarating. I thought we would definitely fall into the sea at the end, but it seems like you can choose not to get wet. However, since it's just your feet, I recommend falling into the sea at least once. Thanks to another participant, my wife was lucky enough to ride again (I'm envious). Next time, I want to participate for the longest duration!
妻と二人で150mに参加しました。二人とも初体験で私はワクワク、妻はドキドキでしたが、
いざ飛んでみると妻はとても大喜びで大興奮、私は逆にちっとビビってしまいました(笑)。
私は片手にビデオを持ちながらだったので(言い訳)。でもビビっていてもとても気持ちよくて壮快でした。
終了時は必ず海に落ちるものだと思っていましたが、選択ができるみたいで濡れずに済ますことも可能です。でも足だけなので一度海に落ちる方をお勧めします。
お一人参加の方のおかげで妻はもう一度乗ることができてラッキーでした(うらやましい)。
次回は最長に参加したいです!

For a land lubber prone to sea sickness, this is the only way I could see whales in the ocean. The Navetek ship is amazing for it's stability whether you need it to eliminate nausea, or you are a photographer requiring a steady perch for your telephoto lens.
On the day I went, late Feb, the whales were awesome. There were many families. Lots of breaching, tail displays and some sort of pod wrestling among males, that I had never known about. I dreamed of whales that night.

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I thought I couldn't miss this tour during this season, but the result far exceeded my expectations. Dolphins swam alongside the boat in a line, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly underwater. At the end, a whale even surfaced in the distance and spouted water! Super lucky! The guide who spoke Japanese was really fun, and seeing Waikiki from the sea with the ocean breeze was the best.

The submarine itself was battery-operated and hardly made any noise, but due to considerable waves, nearly half of the participants got seasick, and as a result, I also felt a bit unwell and couldn't fully enjoy the underwater experience. I found it a bit unkind that the information didn't mention seasickness much. I would like to try again when the waves are calmer. The transportation and boarding process were very easy to understand.
潜水艦自体はバッテリー駆動で殆ど音が気にならなっかたが、かなりの波浪で参加者の半数近くが船酔いになり、その影響で自分も少し気分が悪くなり、じっくり海中を楽しめなかった。案内には船酔いのことが余り触れて無かったのが少し不親切かな?もう一度波の穏やかな時再度チャレンジしたい。送迎,搭乗とうに関しては、とてもわかりやすかった。
