I think it was a bit early for the peak season.

Activity Date: 2025/12/05 | Posted on: 2025/12/08

I participated on December 5, 2025. It seemed a bit early for the peak season (winter from January to March), and unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales (tears). I really appreciate that the captain searched diligently, and whether or not we see them might be a matter of luck. However, I would have liked to have some sort of remedy, such as the option to reboard in cases like this!

2025年12月5日に参加しました。
ピークシーズン(冬の1月〜3月)には少し早かったようで、残念ながら鯨を見ることは出来ませんでした(涙)
Captainは一生懸命に探してくれたことはとても感謝してますし、見られる見られないは時の運かもしれませんが、このような場合の救済措置として再乗船の計らいなどが欲しかったです!

Tips and suggestions

When you go out to the open sea, it can sway quite a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's better to take some motion sickness medication. Also, since you'll get splashed with water, it's a goo

外洋に出るとかなり大きく揺れるので船に弱い方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いです。また、水しぶきもかかるので多少は濡れても大丈夫な格好が良いと思います。
英語ツアーでしたが、英語が堪能でなくても楽しめます。

Aloha, thank you very much for participating in the tour on December 5, 2025. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

We are truly sorry to hear that you were unable to see any whales that day, especially since it was the beginning of the season. However, we are grateful for your kind words about the captain's service.

Whale watching is dependent on nature, and there may be times when encounters are not possible. To address this, we offer a "Whale Guarantee," which allows you to reboard for free until whales are spotted.

We hope that when you visit Hawaii again, you will take advantage of this guarantee and join us for another tour. Your advice regarding the boat's movement, splashes, clothing, and motion sickness remedies will be very helpful for future guests. We also appreciate your feedback about the English tour, as your comment that "you can enjoy it even if you're not fluent in English" will encourage many others.

We will do our utmost to ensure that you can see the magnificent whales next time. We look forward to the day we can meet again.

Mahalo!

アロハ、この度は、2025年12月5日にツアーへご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
また、貴重なお時間を割いてレビューをお寄せいただき、心より感謝申し上げます。
当日はシーズン初期ということもあり、残念ながらクジラをご覧いただけなかったとのこと、大変心苦しく思っております。そのような中でも、キャプテンの対応について温かいお言葉をいただき、誠にありがとうございます。
クジラウォッチングは自然相手のため、どうしても遭遇できない場合がございますが、当社では「クジラが確認できるまで無料で再乗船いただける保証制度(Whale Guarantee)」をご用意しております。
次回ハワイにお越しの際には、ぜひこちらの制度をご利用いただき、改めてツアーにご参加いただければ幸いです。
また、船の揺れや水しぶき、服装や酔い止めに関するアドバイスも、これから参加されるお客様にとって大変参考になるご意見です。英語ツアーについても「英語が堪能でなくても楽しめる」とのお言葉をいただき、安心材料として多くの方の励みになると思います。
次回こそは、迫力あるクジラの姿をご覧いただけるよう、スタッフ一同全力でサポートいたします。
またお会いできる日を、心よりお待ちしております。

マハロ!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

It was the last day of whale season, but many whales came out, and I was moved to see so many whales off the coast of Waikiki, something I had never known before.

クジラシーズンの最終日でしたが。たくさんクジラが出てきてくれて、ワイキキ沖でこんなにクジラが見れるのをいままで全く知らず感動です。

We boarded the ship as a family, including our first and third graders. The large ship was very stable and comfortable, with hardly any rocking. I brought motion sickness medication just in case, but it wasn't needed. Perhaps it depends on the weather.

There were also services like coloring activities on board, which were helpful. We were able to see many whales, and we were very satisfied.

小学1年生・3年生の子供達含め、家族で乗船しました。大きな船でほとんど揺れることなく、快適でした。念のため酔い止めを持参しましたが大丈夫でした。天候次第でしょうか。
船内では塗り絵などのサービスもあり助かりました。

I thought this was a tour that you can only experience during this season! At first, I was really worried about whether we would actually see anything, but I was glad to be able to witness the whales' spouts and the moment they dive for the first time.

この時期だからこそいけるツアーだと思いました!
最初は本当に見えるのか不安でしたが初めて鯨の潮や潜る瞬間を見ることができよかったです。

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and the view of Diamond Head and the deep blue sea and sky from the ocean was stunning. Even if we hadn't encountered any whales, I would have been completely satisfied just with the cruise. Just when I was about to give up, the whales finally appeared! The sight of two of them slapping their tails on the water's surface was incredibly powerful. We were able to see them closer than I had imagined. They showed up again in another spot, and I was absolutely thrilled. The kids were also very excited!

いいお天気に恵まれて、沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや真っ青な海と空。
もしもクジラに出会えなくても、遊覧だけでも大満足、思っていたところ...
諦めかけた頃に、ついにクジラが現れました!
2頭並んで尻尾を海面に打ち付ける様子は迫力満点。想像していたよりも近くで見れました。
その後もまた別の場所でも現れて、
大大満足です。
子どもたちも大興奮でした!

Be careful if you are prone to getting drunk!
酔いやすい人は注意!
Activity Date: 2025/03/18 | Posted on: 2025/03/28

I think it's less likely to get seasick on a large ship, but when you go up to the fourth deck for whale watching, the height increases the swaying, so it feels quite shaky. If you're concerned, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

We were able to spot quite a few whales. While we didn't see any huge jumps with half their bodies out of the water, we did see them spouting water and their tails and dorsal fins coming out of the surface multiple times. I thought it would be difficult to search in the vast ocean, but since everyone is watching, you quickly notice when they appear, and it creates quite a buzz. There was also another small boat on a tour nearby, and if that boat is stopped, it means they are observing whales in that area, which makes it easy to understand.

大型の船なので酔いにくい方だとは思いますが、クジラウォッチのために4階甲板の上まで出ると、高くなる分揺れの幅が増幅されるため、体感的にはかなり揺れる気がします。ご心配な方は酔い止めおすすめします。

クジラは結構目撃することができました。体半分飛び出すような大ジャンプは見られませんでしたが、潮吹いたり、尾びれ・背びれ?が水面から出てきたりするのは何度も見ることができました。だだっ広い海原で探すのが大変かと思いましたが、みんなが見ているので現れるとわーっとなるのですぐ気がつきます笑。同時に別の小型の船もツアーで近くにいましたが、その船が止まっている場合はその近くにいる(観察中)ということなので、それもわかりやすいです。

The wind is strong and the sunlight is intense, so it seems better to have something to wear over your clothes. Be careful as hats can get blown away.

I saw a whale spout for the first time.
はじめて、クジラの潮吹き見れました。
Activity Date: 2025/03/04 | Posted on: 2025/03/27

I was worried about seasickness and took some motion sickness medication, but the waves were less intense than I expected, and I was totally fine. As for the whale watching, I was starting to think we might not see anything, but then I spotted a spout in the distance! Cheers erupted, and in response, the whale showcased its spouts and tail several times. Seeing it live was truly moving.

船酔いが心配で酔い止め飲みまいたが、思ったより揺れが少なく、全然平気でした。
肝心のホエールウォッチはなかなか見当たらずもしかして、見れないのでは? と思っていたら、遠くにシューっと潮吹きを発見!歓声が上がり、それに答えるように何度も潮吹きや尾びれを披露してくれました。生で見るとほんと感動です。

There is a temperature difference between land, sea, and inside the ship, so it's important to pay attention to your clothing and bring something to wear over your outfit.

I had a very meaningful morning! Unfortunately, I didn't understand about 80% of the English explanations, but when there were whales, it was very easy to understand the direction based on the time on the clock relative to the boat. On that day, we were able to see a small whale jumping, and everyone on the boat was really excited! I tend to get motion sickness and was worried about seasickness, but there was hardly any rocking, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably. If you're visiting Honolulu during this time, I think this is an activity you absolutely should participate in!

非常に有意義な朝の時間を過ごすことができました!!英語の説明は残念ながら8割わからなかったですが、クジラがいた時には船を基準にして時計の時刻で方向を知らせてくれるため、とても分かりやすかったです。
この日は小さなクジラがジャンプする姿を見ることができ、船上もかなり盛り上がっていました!
乗り物酔いしやすく、船酔いも心配していましたが、ほとんど揺れもなく快適に過ごすことができました。
この時期にホノルルに訪れるなら、絶対に参加すべきアクティビティだと思いました!

I participated in Bon Voyage Kobe on the recommendation of Mr. Tamura, and it was great to see whales up close in relatively nearby waters. Unlike Kochi and Okinawa, the waves were lower, so I didn't get seasick, which was a plus.

Matty and Mari were absolutely great! We went on the sunset whale watching tour and they made it such a fun and personalized experience! They answered all our questions, explained the different parts of the island that we could see from the ocean, and made it an overall great experience. We not only saw plenty of whales, but we also saw a shark too. 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone and everyone!

I was able to encounter three groups of whales!
3グループのクジラに遭遇できました!
Activity Date: 2025/03/15 | Posted on: 2025/03/18

Even when we got close to Diamond Head, we couldn't see any whales, and I started to give up a little, but then I spotted a spout in the distance. At that moment, the boat sped towards the whale, and we got close enough to see it!

After that, the boat kept pace without disturbing the whale, allowing us to see it with Diamond Head in the background. It was such an emotional moment!

As the boat started heading back to the harbor, the other passengers returned inside, but while watching the whale, I was able to see a huge leap from quite a distance!

On the way back, we also spotted two groups of whales, so I think it's a good idea to look out for spouts. The pineapple banana bread provided after boarding was also very delicious, and we could enjoy it with tea or coffee inside the boat!

There were also announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales, so it's fine even if you don't understand English. Since they are living creatures, you can't always see them, but even if they are a bit far away, the boat gets close, so I’m glad I participated!

ダイヤモンドヘッドの辺りに来てもなかなかクジラの姿が見えないので、今日は見ることができないかもと少し諦めた時に、すっごく遠くに潮吹きが見えました。その瞬間、船がクジラの方に向かってすごいスピードで進んでいき、クジラが見える所まで近づいてくれました!
その後も、クジラの泳ぎを遮らないように、並走してくれて、ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにクジラを見る方ができました。とても感動した瞬間でした!
船が港へ戻り出した為、他の乗客は船内に戻って行きましたが、ずっとクジラを見ていると、かなり離れていましたが、クジラの大ジャンプを見ることができました!!
帰り途中にも2グループのクジラを見る方ができたので、潮吹きを探してみると良いと思います。
乗船後に提供された軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドもとても美味しく、紅茶やコーヒーと一緒に船内で食べることができました!
クジラの説明など日本語でのアナウンスもきちんとありますので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。生き物ですので毎回見られるとは限りませんが、多少遠くても船が近づいていってくれるので、参加して良かったと思います!

Tips and suggestions

I went up to the top deck, making sure I could see from either side of the ship. Also, when the ship starts to head back, everyone tends to go back inside, but I think it's better to stay and watch be

最上階に上り、船の左右のどちらからでも見えるようにしていました。また、船が帰り出すと皆んな船内に戻りがちですが、そのまま見ているよと大ジャンプをしていたので見続けた方が良いと思います。

I had a wonderful time slowly watching the sunset from the boat. I was honestly disappointed that I only caught a glimpse of a whale's tail in the distance.

船にのり沈む夕日をゆっくり見れて素敵な時間を過ごせました。クジラは遠くの方にシッポだけちらっと見えただけで、正直残念でした。

I was worried that my daughter, who easily gets seasick because it's a large ship, might have a hard time, but despite taking motion sickness medication, she ended up feeling sick. 😭 She couldn't even go out on deck and just sat in a chair, waiting for the return to port. I don't know why the medication didn't work, but it was unfortunate, especially since she was looking forward to it more than anyone. 😒

We were able to see whales a few times, although from a distance. 😊👌

大型船なので船酔いし易い娘でも大丈夫かなと思っていたのですが、酔い止めを飲んで行ったにもかかわらず酔ってしまいました😭
デッキにも出られず椅子に座りきりで、ひたすら帰港を待っていました。
なぜ酔い止めが効かなかったのかわかりませんが、気の毒でした。
娘の方が楽しみにしていたので😒

鯨は遠目ですが、何回か見ることができました😊👌

Tips and suggestions

I think it's better to firmly imprint the sight of the whale in your memory. If you try to capture it on camera or video, you might miss the precious opportunity to witness it.

鯨は目にしっかり焼き付けたほうが良いと思います。
カメラやビデオに撮ろうとすると、せっかくの目撃チャンスを逃してしまうかも❓

I was really able to see it!
本当に見ることができました!
Activity Date: 2025/03/01 | Posted on: 2025/03/17

I participated in February. At first, I was really wondering if I would be able to see them, but I was able to see four of them! When we went out to sea, they stopped the boat's engine and drove slowly and quietly, which allowed us to see two of them up close. I was moved by their size. They seemed to be playing together, possibly a mother and her child or siblings.

Before heading out to sea, we listened to explanations about safety and the characteristics and ecology of humpback whales inside the boat. I read in reviews that there would be staff who spoke Japanese, but it seemed there weren't any when we participated. I was with a friend who spoke English, so she briefly explained the content to me, but I thought it would be nicer if there were written explanations in various languages available (though I could generally understand without them).

The pineapple cake served as a snack was delicious, and I ended up asking for a second helping!

2月に参加しました。初めは本当に見ることができるのかなあと思っていましたが、4頭、本当に見ることができました! 沖に出ると船のエンジン?を止めてゆっくり静かに運転してくれて、それによってそのうち2頭はすぐ間近で見ることができ、大きさを目の当たりにして感動しました。親子なのか兄弟なのか、2頭で遊んでいるようでした。

 出航後沖に出るまでは、船内で、安全についての説明やザトウクジラの特徴や生態についての説明を聞きます。日本語が話せるスタッフがいると口コミに書かれていましたが、私たちが参加した際はいないようでした。英語が話せる友人と一緒だったので、彼女に内容を簡単に教えてもらいましたが、各言語の説明書きなどが置いてあるとより親切かなと思いました。(なくても大体分かりますが)

サービスのパイナップルケーキが美味しくて、おかわりしてしまいました!

Tips and suggestions

The air conditioning inside the ship is effective, but on the deck, the direct sunlight and reflection from the sea are strong, so I think it's good to have something to wear over your clothes and sun

船内は冷房が効いているのと、デッキの上は直射日光と海上からの照り返しが強いので、羽織るものとサングラスがあるといいと思います。

We participated as a family.

The crew members were all kind, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, which eased my worries since I had an elementary school child with me. They seemed to have a lot of fun seeing the sea turtles.

Thank you very much.

家族で参加させていただきました。

クルーの方、皆さん親切で日本語スタッフの方もいて、小学生の子供がいて心配でしたが、海亀見れてとても楽しそうでした。

I couldn't see any whales.
クジラは見えなかった
Activity Date: 2025/03/11 | Posted on: 2025/03/16

We went all the way to Diamond Head and anchored for a long time near Waikiki Beach. They said there were whales, but even after anchoring for almost an hour, we couldn't see any. It's said that whale breathing lasts 20 to 40 minutes, so if they were nearby, we should have been able to see them... I felt the same while looking from the hotel at Waikiki Beach. From this point, it seems like you could see them with a telescope from places like the Hyatt & Beach or Sheraton.

ダイアモンドの先まで行き、ワイキキビーチ行きで長く停泊。クジラがいるということでしたが、1時間近く停泊したが見えなかった。
クジラの呼吸は20〜40分と言われているため、近くにいるなら見えるはずだが…。
ワイキキビーチ沖ではホテルから眺めても同じと感じた。 このポイントならHYATT&Beachやシェラトンなどからなら望遠鏡で見えそうです。

Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. While it was unfortunate that you didn't see any whales on this trip, I am confident that you enjoyed the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat during the morning cruise. Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you again.

この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
今回のクルーズでクジラが見られなかったのは残念でしたが、朝のクルーズでのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの船上からの眺めは楽しめて頂いたかと確信しております。今回のお声を有難うございます。又のお越しをお待ちしております。

I was able to see the whales spouting from a distance, but I couldn't see them up close. More than anything, the sunset was very beautiful! It was so soothing!

クジラは遠くから潮吹きの様子を見れて近くでは見れませんでしたが、なによりサンセットがとても綺麗でした!癒されました!

人生初めてのクジラ!
Activity Date: 2025/03/06 | Posted on: 2025/03/12

It included transportation, but since it didn't stop at our hotel, we walked to the hotel across the street. The large bus arrived on time and took us to the boarding area!

As soon as we got off the bus, we boarded the boat and took some commemorative photos! Later, a staff member came around to show us the pictures they took! We decided to purchase one as a keepsake (laughs). Then, we enjoyed the breakfast we had been looking forward to. The morning coffee was really great!

Inside the boat, the air conditioning was on, so I think short sleeves might feel a bit cold.

We received an explanation about the whales from the captain and headed to the deck! The blue of the ocean was something you can't feel in Japan, and the view of Waikiki getting farther away! Plus, Diamond Head was clearly visible! I was already satisfied with just that.

And on that day, we were able to see whales! In fact, multiple times!!! We even encountered a mother and baby whale! There is a limit to how close you can get, so they were a bit far, but we could still see them!

The captain announced the direction of the whales, so everyone moved in unison to follow the report. Even if you don't understand English, you'll be fine just following everyone!

Before we knew it, it was time to disembark, and we took the bus back to the hotel.

Personally, I thought it was really great! It was nice to relax on the boat in the Hawaiian sea, and seeing the whales was truly moving! Since it was a large boat, I don't think you would get seasick (but it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case).

There were plenty of restrooms! They weren't super clean, but it was totally fine! I want to go again!

送迎付きでしたが、自分たちのホテルには止まらなかったので向かい側にあるホテルまで歩きました🌴時間通りに大型バスが迎えに来てくれて、乗り場まで連れてってくれました!

バスに降りてすぐに船に乗り、まずは記念撮影!後ほど、係の人が回ってきて撮った写真を見せてくれます!私たちは記念に購入しました(笑)そして、楽しみにしてた朝食をいただきました🍍朝のコーヒーがめちゃくちゃよかったです☕️

船の中はクーラーがかかっていたので半袖は少し寒いと思います。

船長からクジラの説明を受け、デッキへ!
日本では感じられない海の青さ、遠くなっていくワイキキの街並み!そしてダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見える!これだけで満足でした😆

そしてこの日はクジラを見ることができました!しかも何回も!!!🐳親子のクジラにも遭遇しました!近づける範囲が決まってるので若干遠くはありますが見える!!!

船長が◯時の方向だよとアナウンスしてくれるので、みんなその報告を受けて一斉に移動📢英語がわからなくてもみんなについていけば大丈夫です!!!

あっという間に下船になり、バスに乗ってホテルへ戻りました。

個人的にはめちゃくちゃよかったです!とにかくハワイの海で船に乗りながらのんびりできたのもよかったし、クジラも見れて感動しました!大きな船なので船酔いもしないかなと思います!(一応酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が🙆‍♀️)

トイレもたくさんありました!すごく綺麗なわけではないですが、全然大丈夫です!また行きたいです🌴🤙

I participated with excitement, knowing that whales come to the waters off Hawaii only during the winter months for calving and raising their young. I was able to see the baby whales a few times! However, they were far away and small, and it was just for a moment, so if I could wish for more, I would have loved to see them even more. Nevertheless, the weather was great, and the cruise itself was very comfortable, allowing me to have the best time. Thank you to all the staff!

鯨が出産、子育てにハワイ沖に来る冬の時期だけということで、ワクワクしながら参加しました。
赤ちゃんを何度か見ることができました!でも遠くて小さい、しかも一瞬なので、欲を言えばもっともっと見たかったです。
ですがお天気もよく、クルーズ自体がとても快適で、最高の時間を過ごすことができました。スタッフのみなさん、ありがとう!

Tips and suggestions

Since I tend to get seasick, I took some motion sickness medication before boarding, but the boat was large and stable, so I had no issues at all. I might not have needed the medication after all.

船酔いするタイプのため酔い止めを飲んで挑みましたが、船が大きく安定していて全く問題ありませんでした。酔い止めはいらなかったかもしれません。
