I used this service with my family and friends as a group. I was excited about the claim of over 90% encounter rate, but... Despite it being a good time of year, we didn't see any whales up close... We only caught a glimpse of a few spouts and maybe a back, but it was hard to tell... My parents, who were on their first trip abroad, looked a bit disappointed (tears).

いい時期にもかかわらず、まじかでクジラは見られず。。。わずかな潮吹きと背中が見えたような見えなかったような。。。。

I made a reservation for my mother, who cannot swim.
It was very cold inside the submarine.
The air conditioning was too strong, and by the end, my aunt felt unwell.
The visibility in the sea was very poor due to the bad weather until recently.
I was able to see two turtles (honu).
I think that was good.

We had a great time on the Star of Honolulu. The ship was comfortable and clean. The rails offered a great platform for picture taking and whale watching. Only minutes out of Honolulu harbor the first whales were sighted. We followed along with them for about 1/2 hour. They would surface every 5 minutes or so. On the way back up to Diamondhead we encountered another pod. After watching them for awhile, it was time for the morning trip to end. All in all... this was one of many highlights for our visit to Oahu.

This cruise was awesome! Booked it as a gift for my boyfriend and we had a blast. The crew was friendly, Ryan helped break the ice with the group. I was especially looking forward to the open bar and was happily surprised by a DELICIOUS specialty cocktail they had pre made. We were lucky enough to see a whale breach not far from us while we were sailing. I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know- such a great way to spend a few hours.

The price for breakfast included for a family of four is cheap, and all the crew members were kind and friendly, which made the children happy. It was a bit disappointing that we were able to see whales a few times and were satisfied, but I think it would have been even better if we could have seen them up close.
家族4人で朝食付きでこの値段は安い、クルーのみんなも優しく親切で子供たちも喜んでいました。ちょっと残念だったのは、クジラは何度か見ることができて満足できたのですが、もっと間近で見れれば最高だと思います。ぬ

I finally had the long-awaited horseback riding experience. Our guide, Jimmy, was very entertaining, and I enjoyed the ride without getting bored. The itinerary included the tree, Doll Plantation, Haleiwa Town, and horseback riding, but we only stayed at the first two places for about 15 minutes each, and I think we spent around 40 minutes in Haleiwa.
I was a bit anxious about the traffic along the way, worrying that our riding time would be cut short... I thought it might have been fine to skip one of the first three stops.
We managed to arrive safely and met the horses. Inside the van, Jimmy gave us a quick lesson on handling the reins, so we started riding right away! The horses were well-trained, and it was mostly just about enjoying the ride. However, there were some mischievous ones that would wander off to eat grass (I experienced that too). Staff members walked alongside us, giving instructions (like "right" or "loosen up").
We were able to relax by the seaside, in the forest, and back by the sea. The garlic shrimp for lunch at Macky's, which Jimmy recommended, was really delicious.
念願の乗馬体験してきました。
ガイドのジミーさんがとっても面白く、移動中もあきることなく楽しめました。この木なんのき~ドールプランテーション~ハレイワタウン~乗馬と盛り込んでありますが、最初の2か所は15分程度トイレ休憩ぐらいの滞在時間、ハレイワで40分ぐらいだったかな。
途中で渋滞があって乗馬時間が削られるんじゃないかとハラハラ… これなら最初の3か所どれかなくてもいいんじゃないかと思いました。
なんとか無事に到着し、お馬さんとご対面。
社内でジミーさんに、手綱さばきをレクチャーしてもらってるのですぐに乗馬スタート!よくできたお馬さん達でほとんど乗ってるだけでOKです。 ただ横道それて草をたべるやんちゃさんもいます(私もやられました)前後にスタッフが追歩してくれますので、指示してくれます(みぎ~とかゆるめる~とか)
海辺~森~海辺とのんびりできました。
ランチのガーリックシュリンプもジミーさんおすすめのマッキーズはとっても美味しかったです。

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。

I wanted to ride the pineapple train at Dole, so I signed up for this plan, which guaranteed that I could ride it. As expected, I was able to ride it right after arriving, and then I had pineapple ice cream. I had a little less time to look at souvenirs, but I was mostly satisfied. In Haleiwa, I was a bit unsure about where to have lunch. It's a good idea to research recommended places before you go. At Lanikai Beach, I was lucky to see a turtle. It was a lot of fun.
ドールでパイナップル列車に乗りたいと思い、このプランなら必ず乗れるので申込みました。期待通りに、着いてから早速乗れて、その後にパイナップルアイスを食べました。おみやげはちょっと見る時間が少なくなりましたが、ほぼ満足です。ハレイワは昼食をどこのお店で食べるかちょっと迷いました。おすすめの店を調べて行くといいです。ラ二カイビーチでは、かめも観れてラッキーでした。とても楽しかったです。

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。

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.

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。

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!

I went horseback riding in the canyon. I was thrilled to ride the same horses that former President Obama and his Secret Service agents rode. Along the way, I enjoyed seeing the Hitachi trees, the Dole plantation, and turtles on the sandy beach.
However, while we were on the canyon horseback ride, others were on different horseback rides or taking walks, which meant we were on a shared vehicle and felt rushed, so it was a pity we couldn't take our time.
渓谷乗馬に行って来ました。かのオバマ大統領やSP達が乗った馬に乗ることができ、気分も上々でした。また道中、日立の木やドール農園、砂浜の亀など見ることができ楽しむことが出来ました。
