Only caveat is we were at a different Outrigger and was confusing as to the location. At the last minute service personnel at our Outrigger informed us we had to walk to a new location that was not expected at all.

There is a regulation that prohibits approaching whales, so the boat does not get close to them. Therefore, it is not possible to take photos from a close distance like those on the explanation page. All announcements regarding whales are in English, so I do not recommend this for those who are not proficient in the language. Snacks and drinks are explained in English, so I couldn't figure out where they were located. Even with sunglasses and a hat, please be careful as the sunlight is very intense.
クジラに近づいてはいけないという条例があるので船はクジラに近づきません。よって説明ページのような至近距離からの写真は撮れません。
クジラに関するアナウンスなどは全て英語なので堪能でない方はオススメしません。
スナックや飲み物類は英語で説明があるのでどこにあるか分からず取れませんでした。
サングラスや帽子があっても日差しがとてもキツいので気をつけて下さい。

This time, my 9-year-old son, my husband, my mother-in-law in her 70s, and I participated together. The reception was a bit hard to find as it was located inside the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, across from the ABC Store. However, when I showed the voucher to the hotel staff, they kindly directed me to the reception area. When the time came, the staff gave a brief explanation (in all English), and then we all walked to the dock to board the boat. We were the only Japanese participants, which made us a bit anxious, but there were people from various countries joining us.
Once on the boat, the friendly staff explained snorkeling and talked to us in English. They patiently taught us how to inflate the life jackets, put on the fins, and wear the masks. As we listened to the explanations, we quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot and jumped into the sea! The beautiful ocean and numerous fish were amazing, and we even saw about five sea turtles up close! It was so close that it was surprising!
Additionally, soft drinks (like cola and Hawaiian drinks) and snacks were available for free, so we could eat whenever we felt a bit hungry.
After finishing snorkeling, we didn’t head back immediately but went sailing further out. We enjoyed many scenic views, even reaching the backside of Diamond Head. Sitting on the netting part of the boat while sailing was fantastic. We even spotted a whale, albeit briefly!
We had a very fulfilling time with snorkeling followed by sailing.
Here are some tips for those who will experience this:
1. If you are prone to motion sickness, be cautious as the boat can sway, and the waves during snorkeling can be intense. (I actually took motion sickness medication, but I still felt quite sick and had to return to the boat early. My son and husband, however, did not get sick and enjoyed the entire time.)
2. There are many other tours at the snorkeling spots, so there is a risk of getting separated if you get too absorbed in snorkeling. I made sure to stay close to our boat's staff.
3. Beginners in snorkeling may need to have some stamina. Fortunately, we were okay since we had some experience, but for first-timers, the wave height and moving to different spots might be challenging. However, it was nice that we could choose to return to the boat whenever we wanted.
I’ve mentioned three points, but overall, I am very satisfied!
今回、9歳の息子と私たち夫婦、70代ばあばの4人で参加しました。
受付はアウトリガーリーフワイキキビーチリゾートのホテル入って奥の方のABCストアの向かい側で初めてだと分かりずらいかもですが、ホテルのスタッフの方にバウチャー見せたら受付の場所を教えてもらえました。時間になるとスタッフの方が軽く説明をして(オール英語)、その後みんなで船着場まで歩き船に乗りました。日本人は私たちだけで不安でしたが、みなさん色々な国から参加されていました。
船に乗ると気さくなスタッフの方がシュノーケリングの説明や、色々英語で話してくれました。
ライフジャケットの空気の入れ方や、フィンの付け方、マスクの付け方など丁寧に教えてくれました。
説明を聞いているとすぐにシュノーケリングスポットにつき、いざ海へ!
綺麗な海とたくさんの魚、お目当ての海亀も五匹ほど間近で見れました!近すぎてびっくりするくらい!!
また、ソフトドリンク(コーラやハワイアンドリンク)や、スナックはフリーで食べれるので小腹が空いた時自由に食べれました。
最後シュノーケリングが終わった後はすぐに戻らず、さらに沖の方はセイリング。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側の方までいきたくさんの景色を楽しめました。やっとの網の部分に座ってのセーリングも最高でした。
最後に少しでしたがクジラも見えました!
シュノーケリングの、後のセーリングでとても充実した時間が過ごせました。
以下体験する方へのアドバイス
1、乗り物酔いする方は中々船の揺れや、シュノーケリングの、波も激しいので気おつけてください。(実際私は酔い止め飲みましたが途中で酔いがひどくなり先に船に戻りました。※息子や夫は酔わないので終始楽しんでいました。)
2、他のツアーがスポットにたくさんいるのでシュノーケリングに、没頭するとはぐれる危険性があります。こまめに自分の船のスタッフさんを連れての近くにいるようにしました。
3、シュノーケリング初心者は体力が必要かも。幸い私たちはシュノーケリングをしていたので大丈夫でしたが、初めての方だと波の高さや、スポットに毎回移動するのが困難かも
でも、船に戻りたくなったら先に戻っていいのでそこは自由で自身の判断でよかったです
3点書きましたが総合的には大満足です!

The conditions were windy with high waves, so it felt like an experience similar to Splash Mountain... I was able to see the whale's spray and tail, and on the way back, I was also able to see dolphins and honu, which was great. I couldn't take any photos, but the views of Honolulu and the departing airplanes were full of highlights, and the captain's guided announcements were entertaining.

The boat we initially reserved was canceled, and there were two changes after that. We had to wait for late customers, which delayed our departure and made us miss the best timing for the sunset. However, in the end, I was moved to tears by the beauty of the fireworks and the night view of Waikiki. It was truly stunning.

I participated in mid-February!
It was rainy, but thanks to that, it wasn't too hot, and I was able to look for whales from the deck.
During the ride to the meeting point, the guide talked a lot about the area and sightseeing, making the trip enjoyable.
On the boat, we were served delicious original cake and coffee before departure, which served as a nice breakfast. The original pineapple banana cake was moist and tasty.
During the whale watching, the guide indicated where the whales were based on the direction of the clock, so there was a high probability of seeing whales multiple times.
Not only did we see whales, but we were also lucky enough to see sea turtles up close!
The view from the boat was also amazing, and I was moved by the beauty of Diamond Head and the horizon.
It became a wonderful memory, and I am very satisfied.
2月中旬に参加しました!
雨模様だったのですがそのおかげで暑すぎることなく、デッキでクジラを探すことが出来ました。
お迎えの車中ではガイドさんがエリアや観光についてたくさん話して下さり、移動も楽しかったです。
船では美味しいオリジナルケーキとコーヒーが出港前に食べられるので、朝ごはん代わりになりました。オリジナルのパイナップルバナナケーキはしっとりしてて美味しかったです。
ホエールウォッチングの最中は時計の方向でクジラがどこにいるかを教えてくれるので殆どの確率で何度かクジラを見ることが出来ます。
クジラだけではなくウミガメも近くで見ることが出来たのでとても幸運でした!
そして船上からの景色も素晴らしく、ダイヤモンドヘッドや水平線の美しさに感動しました。
とても素敵な思い出になり、満足です。
It can be cold on the boat, so it's important to wear a jacket and a hat that won't get blown away. Also, the floor inside the boat can be slippery with water, so I recommend wearing sneakers.
船上は寒いので羽織れる洋服と帽子は飛ばされないように注意が必要です。あと船の中は水で滑るのでスニーカーが良いと思います。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat (and it was great that you also saw sea turtles). We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

I took TheBus to the meeting point. A round trip costs $7 (you can ride all day for $7). It's necessary to check how to ride TheBus and the routes in advance (you can find bus stop information on Google). Upon arriving at the meeting point, you will present your voucher (sent via email after booking) for check-in.
Once on board, there was an all-you-can-eat and drink option for fruit cake and coffee (though I couldn't eat that much). As for finding whales, the spouting is a key indicator. I witnessed spouting several times, but they rarely appeared on the surface. I participated with the last attached photo in mind, but this time, we only managed to see the tail fin during the watching experience.
集合場所にはTheBusで行きました。往復$7でOKです(一日$7で乗り放題なので)。TheBusの乗り方や経路(Googleでバス停が案内可能です)の調べ方は事前に確認が必要です。集合場所に到着するとバウチャー(予約完了後にメールで送られる)を提示して受付となります。
乗船後はフルーツケーキやコーヒーなどは食べ放題、飲み放題でした(そんなに食べられませんが)。クジラの探し方としては、潮吹きが目印となります。何回か潮吹きを目撃しましたが、海上に現れることは少なかったです。添付の最後の写真をイメージして参加しましたが、今回は尾びれを確認できる程度のウォッチング結果でした。
If you can't see the whales (it's a bit unclear how often that happens), you can participate again. Whether you can spot them depends on timing, so all you can do is hope.
クジラが見られない場合は(どの程度かグレーですが)、再度参加可能とのこと。目撃できるかはタイミングしかないので、祈るしかないですね。

I was looking for activities to do in Hawaii with my 3-year-old, and I thought this would be a good option, so I made a reservation.
First, we took a larger boat to the diving point. During the ride, they pointed out things like, "Look, they're doing whale watching over there!" which made the journey enjoyable! We were also lucky to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle. My child had a great time.
Once we were in the submarine, we spent about 45 minutes underwater. While the adults enjoyed it, my active 3-year-old got a bit bored halfway through, and we ended up showing him a video for the last 10 minutes... (laughs)
However, for the first 15 minutes, he was excitedly saying things like, "The fish are waving at me!" I think it was a memorable experience for him since he even reenacted it during bath time when we got home!
Our family is an international marriage family living abroad, so English wasn't an issue for us. The guide was cheerful and shared jokes and interesting facts, which made it enjoyable, but those who are not confident in English might feel a bit left out. I heard that Japanese audio can be downloaded, but it might not always match what the guide is saying.
Overall, I think it was an activity that families with children can enjoy!
今回3歳連れで、ハワイでできるアクティビティを探していて、これはいいんじゃないかなと思って予約しました。
まず潜水ポイントまで、大きめの船で行きます。その時にも、結構「あそこでクジラウォッチングやってるよ、ほらあの方向」とか結構教えてくれて、その道のりも楽しみました!海亀もチラッと見えてとてもラッキーでした。子供もとても楽しんでいました。
潜水艦に潜ってからは45分ほど。大人は楽しめるのですが、うちの3歳動きたい坊やは途中でちょっと飽きてしまって、残り10半のところでビデオを見せることになってしまいました、、笑
でも初めの15分は「お魚さんが手振ってるー」とか言って楽しんでいる様子でした。
家に帰ってからもそれをお風呂で再現したりしているので、きっと心に残った経験だったんだろうなと思っています!
我が家は国際結婚ファミリーで、海外在住なので英語は問題なかったのですが、ガイドが陽気な方で、ジョークをとばしたりうんちくを言ってくれるので、楽しめましたが英語が苦手な方は置いてけぼり感があるかもしれません。日本語オーディオがダウンロードできるとのことでしたが、ガイドが話していることとは必ずしも一致しないと思います。
総じて、子連れで楽しめるアクティビティだったと思います!
At 3 years old, it might be questionable whether they can fully enjoy it, but still, I think it was worth it since there are few activities available for families with small children.
3歳だと100%楽しめるかは微妙かもです、、それでもやっぱり小さい子連れでできることは少ないので、やって良かったと思います。

The purpose was to see whales, but they were hard to find. Even when I did spot them, I could only see their spouts and a bit of their backs from a distance. It's understandable since it's nature, but later I was able to see the spouts from the hotel balcony as well.
クジラ見る目的なのだが、なかなか見つからなかった。見つけても遠くに潮吹きとわずかに背中が見える程度だった。自然が相手なので仕方ないが、後でホテルのベランダからも潮吹きは見れました。
When the weather is nice, you need to be careful about sunburn. Since you'll be looking for whales outside, there is little shade.

It was amazing to have a drink included, and we could freely take and eat snacks. Above all, we saw so many whales and dolphins! We were the only Japanese people on board, but on the contrary, all the other passengers were really lively, and it was a lot of fun.
We saw whales jumping with their calves and slapping their tails on the water's surface many times, and the guide even said, "This is the best whale watching ever," so we were very satisfied. Additionally, they delayed our return to the harbor so we could see the sunset without any obstructions, which was perfect.
If you're going to Hawaii during whale season, I definitely recommend this!
I also saw reviews about feeling seasick, but we were fine. Some people might need motion sickness medication, but it seems that those who are relatively strong don't have any issues.
ワンドリンク付き、スナック菓子も自由に取って食べられて、何よりクジラとイルカがたくさん見られて最高でした!
日本人は私達だけでしたが、逆に乗客がみんなノリが良くとっても楽しかったです。
クジラは親子でジャンプしているところや尻尾を水面に打ち付けているところが何度も沢山見られて、ガイドの人も「今までで最高のホエールウォッチングだ」と言っているほどで、非常に満足しました。
また、夕陽が沈むのを最後まで見られるように予定時間よりも遅めに帰港してくれたので、サンセットも遮るものなくバッチリ見られました。
クジラのシーズンにハワイに行くならぜひおすすめします!
酔うという口コミも見ましたが、私達は大丈夫でした。人によっては酔い止めがあるのかもしれませんが、割と強い人は無くて大丈夫そうです。

Not only did we see whales that day, but we also spotted dolphins, and we were able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea, making it a valuable experience that went beyond just whale watching.
The energetic staff shared their knowledge about whales after we set sail and provided many interesting facts during the whale watching, which deepened my understanding of these magnificent creatures.

The ship provided light snacks (coffee, tea, pineapple cake). The pineapple cake was delicious. The actual sailing time was about 2 hours. On this day, we were able to see two humpback whales. The whales came to the surface and spouted water at intervals of about 10 to 15 minutes, so I enjoyed chatting with the foreign people next to me (although I only understood about one-third of the conversation).
I didn't feel much movement while the ship was moving, but when the ship was stopped during whale watching, there was some rocking, so I think those who are prone to seasickness might need motion sickness medication. When the ship returned to the port, there were a few people on board celebrating their birthdays, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday," which felt very international and was really nice.
船内は軽食付き(コーヒー、紅茶、パイナップルケーキ)です。パイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。実際の乗船時間は2時間ほど。この日はザトウクジラを2頭見ることができました。クジラは約10〜15分間隔で水面上に来て潮吹きをしていたので、横の海外の人と談笑しながら楽しみました。(言葉は1/3程度しか理解できなかったですが、)
船が動いているときはそこまで感じなかったですが、ホエールウォッチング中の船が止まっているときは船揺れがあったりするので酔いに弱い人は酔い止めが必要かと思います。船が港へ戻る時に船内で誕生日だった人が数名いて、みんなでハッピーバースデーの歌を歌ってお祝いしていたのが海外らしくてとてもよかったです。
This time, I participated in February. When the sun is shining, a short-sleeved shirt is usually fine, but in shaded areas, on the boat, or inside the bus, there were moments when the wind was strong
今回は2月の参加でした。日差しが射すところだと基本半袖ですが、影がかかる場所、船内、バス車内は風が強かったり空調が効きすぎたりする場面があり羽織れる上着が一枚あれば良いかと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise as a couple. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and interacting with international guests. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

Sunset sailing was my first experience, but thanks to the lively and very friendly crew, I had a wonderful time. The person at the front can get splashed with water due to the waves, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.
サンセットセーリングは初めての体験でしたが、ノリがよくとても親切なクルーの方のお陰で素晴らしい時間が過ごせました。
先頭の人は水しぶきがかかるくらい揺れたりするので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
As noted in the precautions, you will be submerged in water up to your knees when boarding, so it's advisable to wear short pants. If you want to drink alcohol, I also recommend bringing your passport
注意事項にもある通り、乗船時に膝下まで水に浸かるのでちゃんと丈の短いボトムスで行くこと、お酒も飲みたい人はパスポートも持っていくこと(私も20代後半ですが提示を求められました)をお勧めします。
私たちと一緒に航海していただき、体験を共有してくださり、ありがとうございます!初めてのサンセットクルーズが素晴らしいものだったと聞いて、とても嬉しいです。また、私たちのフレンドリーなクルーがその思い出作りに貢献できたことも嬉しく思います。波が高くなるとサンセットセーリングは少し冒険的になりますので、乗り物酔いの薬についてのアドバイスは的確です—その情報を共有してくださり、ありがとうございます!海の風と素晴らしい景色がすべてを価値あるものにしてくれたことを願っています。また、忘れられない航海のために、ぜひ再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。
Thank you so much for sailing with us and sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your first sunset cruise was a wonderful one, and that our friendly crew helped make it memorable. Sunset sailing can be a bit adventurous when the waves pick up, so your tip about motion sickness medication is spot-on—thank you for passing that along! We hope the ocean breeze and stunning views made it all worthwhile, and we'd love to welcome you aboard again soon for another unforgettable ride.

Due to the high waves that started midway, there was no snack distribution. I had planned to go get a drink when the snacks were handed out, so I couldn't go. When I stopped by the bar counter upon disembarking, there were no staff present, and there were only a few snacks in a basket that people who noticed helped themselves to. The drinks were just a display of cans... If the distribution was canceled due to the high waves, I would have appreciated it if someone had been at the bar counter during disembarkation to hand them out. In the end, I wasn't able to receive the limited-time drink benefit. I noticed that some people didn't tip at all, so I wondered if that might have affected the service. Although I didn't see any whales, I had a great time seeing a lot of dolphins, which made the lack of service feel like a missed opportunity.
途中から波が高くなったせいかスナックの配布がなかった。スナック配布されたらドリンクを取りに行くつもりにしていたので行けず。下船時にバーカウンターに寄りましたが、スタッフ不在、スナックが少しだけカゴに入って置いていたので気づいた人が自ら取っていました。
ドリンクは缶の見本が並べてあっただけ…。高波で配布を見送ったのなら、下船時にバーカウンターにいて頂いて、お渡しして欲しかったです。結局期間限定特典のドリンクは受け取れずじまいでした。
チップを全く入れてない人もいたので、こういうことも影響しているのではないかと思いました。
クジラは見れませんでしたがイルカがたくさん見れて楽しかっただけに、サービスがもったいなく感じました。
For the 10:30 flight, if the weather is clear, the sunlight can be quite strong, so I think it's a good idea to have sunscreen and a light jacket.

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I’m really glad I chose this place for dinner on Friday. The cruise lasted from just after 5 PM to just after 8 PM, and I opted for the three-course meal. The lobster in the course was, of course, delicious, and there was live music and a show throughout the cruise, making it lively and never boring.
Additionally, from the ship, I could see the sunset over Diamond Head, and after the sun went down, the night views of Honolulu and Waikiki were spectacular. Especially on Fridays, fireworks are launched from Waikiki Beach, offering an exceptional night view.
初めてのハワイでしたが、金曜日のディナーをこちらにして本当に良かったです。5時過ぎから8時過ぎまでのクルーズで、3スターコースにしました。コース料理のロブスターはもちろん美味しく、乗船の間はずっと生演奏とショーが行われており、にぎやかであきません。
更に船上からは夕日の沈むダイヤモンドヘッドが見られ、日が沈んだ後はホノルルとワイキキの夜景が絶景です。
特に金曜日はワイキキビーチからの花火が打ち上げられますので、格別の夜景が見られます。

I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii as I could see the island from the sea. The quality of the food was okay. The lobster was difficult to shell, but since it's not often that I get the chance to eat one, I was very satisfied.
海から島を一望できるので、ハワイを満喫できました。
食事の質はまぁまぁ。ロブスターは殼剥きが大変だけど、一匹食べる機会はないので満足度高いです。

I participated in a sunset cruise. It departs from the yacht harbor in Waikiki and returns in about an hour and a half, making it easy to join. On the day I went, I could see the whales' spouts and tails far off in the distance, but the crew did their best to keep things lively and entertaining. Since it's nature, whether you get to see the whales up close is a matter of luck.
サンセットクルーズに参加しました。ワイキキのヨットハーバーから出発して1時間半程度で帰ってこられるので気軽に参加できます。
私が参加した日は遥か遠くにクジラの潮吹きや尻尾が見える程度でしたが、クルーの皆さんは何とか盛り上げようと楽しませてくれました。自然相手のことなので、クジラが近くで見られるかは運次第です。
Since it's nature, whether you can see whales and how close you can get to them is completely a matter of luck. If you want to increase your chances, it might be better to go to the West Coast rather
自然相手なのでクジラが見られるか、どのくらい近い距離で見られるかなどは完全に運です。より確率を高めたいのであれば、ワイキキではなく西海岸の方に行った方がいいかもしれません。

What’s not to love? Sailing is so cool, isn’t it?
Every time I come to Hawaii, I participate in this sailing trip.
Feeling the sea breeze and the waves is just the best.
You can also see Diamond Head from a different angle.
You should definitely try it!
このツアーは最高です。
何がー。セーリングってかっこいいじゃないですか。
毎回、ハワイに来るとこのセーリングに参加します。
潮風を受け、波を受け最高ですよ。

I could tell there were whales, but I couldn't see them very well. The staff provided warm hospitality, making my experience enjoyable. The banana cake for a light snack had a homemade feel and was delicious. You can choose between tea and coffee.
鯨がいるのは分かりますが、あまりよく見えませんでした。スタッフの方々はあたたかいおもてなしで気分良く過ごすことができました。軽食のバナナケーキも手作りの感じがあって美味しかったです。紅茶がコーヒーが選べます。
If you can't see many whales, it might be a good idea to enjoy it as a cruise instead.
あまり鯨が見えない場合はクルーズとして楽しむといいかもしれません。

The variety of dishes is limited, but there were many salads, which helped to address the lack of vegetables. The seasoning also suited the Japanese palate. I was glad to see many shows.
お料理の種類は少ないですが、サラダが多くて野菜不足の解消になりました。
味付けも日本人にあっていました。
ショーもたくさん見れて良かったです。
It's better to have your meal before the show starts.
ショーが始まる前に食事を済ませた方がよいです。

The previous day's bad weather may have caused rough waves, and although I was able to see a few turtles, there were not many fish. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it.

On this day, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was a strong wind. It started to rain midway, and by the time we disembarked, there was a full-blown storm. Perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high and there were whitecaps, making it difficult to spot whales. However, there were several announcements on the ship about whale sightings, and my husband and I were able to see a spout once each. A few Japanese passengers who were on board with us also mentioned they saw a spout just once. Does seeing a spout mean you've seen a whale? I wonder if it was the right decision to set sail in that weather. If asked whether I would like to go again, I would say I do not want to. Even if the weather were good, it seems there is a set distance from which you can approach the whales, so I think it would be difficult to actually see the whales themselves. The coffee and light snacks were delicious (although the boat rocked so much that the coffee spilled...).
この日は空一面の雲に強い風、途中から雨が降り始め、下船するころには大嵐になっていました。強い風のためか波が高く白波が立ち、クジラ発見には難しい条件だったと思いますが、船内に何回かクジラ発見の放送が流れ、私たち夫婦は潮吹きを1度づつ見ることができました。一緒に乗っていた日本の方たち数人も潮吹きを1度だけ見たと言っていました。潮吹きを見たらクジラを見たことになるのか?あの天候で船を出すことは正解なのか?疑問です。また乗ってみたいかと言われれば、もう乗りたくありません。天候が良かったとしても、クジラに近寄れる距離が決まっているらしく、クジラ本体を見ることは難しいのではないかと思いました。コーヒーと軽食は美味しかったです(コーヒーがこぼれるほど揺れましたが・・・)
After the ship set sail, there was an explanation about whales in English on board, and I was able to understand it to some extent using the Google Translate app. Not all the restrooms are available f
出船後船内でクジラの説明が英語でありましたが、グーグルの翻訳アプリで結構拾えて、ある程度理解できました。トイレは全部が使えるわけではなく、鍵のかかっているトイレがあります。
