I went with my partner on our honeymoon. The location was great, very close to the Royal Hawaiian where we were staying. The experience was interesting, and we even got to see sea turtles! When we went out to sea, we coincidentally saw whales, and everyone was excited!
The reason I gave it four stars was because of the meeting time. It said 7:30 here, but it was actually at 8:00, and there were no staff members at 7:30. I was worried that there was a mistake, but after asking a local, I waited, and the staff started preparing, so we were able to participate. Also, the explanations were only in English, so it might be tough for those who don't understand it at all.
But it was fun!!! We were the only Japanese people there, and we really enjoyed our time abroad!

On the last day of our honeymoon, we participated in this tour. We traveled from the hotel using the HIS trolley, and there was a meeting point just a short walk from the stop (I can't remember which stop it was). We joined in mid-May, and at the meeting time, the sun was still a bit high in the sky. After we set out to sea on the yacht, I think the sun began to set shortly after that.
There were only two groups of Japanese tourists, including us, possibly because none of the staff spoke Japanese. The other group seemed to understand English. We hardly understood any English, but we enjoyed the atmosphere anyway. Before boarding the yacht, they took pictures of each group. When we got off the yacht, they sold the finished photos for about $15. I was in a hurry to go to the restroom and ended up buying one, but it was a photo of me with my eyes closed, so honestly, I didn't need it. I think I could have refused if I wanted to.
The yacht is anchored on the sandy beach, so you have to leave your shoes before entering the water and then board the yacht. Instead of chairs, you sit on a net arranged in a circle, so I regretted wearing a skirt.
As soon as the yacht set sail, they offered drinks. I think they had cola, wine, cocktails, and beer, all of which were unlimited. The cocktail was probably a Mai Tai. I ended up drinking too much and had to go to the restroom, which was quite a struggle.
The view of Waikiki from the yacht was beautiful, and although it wasn't raining at sea, there were rainbows appearing in various places around Waikiki. Above all, the sunset was exceptional. Watching it from the sea offered a different beauty than seeing it from the beach. It was truly enjoyable, and I think it created wonderful memories for our honeymoon. However, it would have been even better without the worry about the restroom.
I thought I wasn't too weak with alcohol, but I felt quite tipsy after two Mai Tais. The yacht was swaying, and perhaps because it was a bit chilly, I really had to go to the restroom after a while. So, be careful not to drink too much.
But aside from that, it was truly the best memory!
新婚旅行の最終日にこのツアーに参加しました。
ホテルからHISのトロリーで移動し停留所(どこの停留所か忘れましたが)から歩いてすぐのところに集合場所がありました。
5月の中旬の参加でしたが集合時間にはまだ日が少し高いところにありヨットで海に出てしばらくして日が沈んだような気がします。
スタッフで日本語を話せる方は全いないためか日本人観光客は私たち含めて二組のみ。もう一組の方は英語がわかる方だったようです。私たちは英語がほとんどわかりませんがなんとなく雰囲気だけ楽しみました。
ヨットに乗る前に一組ずつ写真を撮ってくれます。そしてヨットから下りる時に出来上がった写真をたしか15ドルほどで売ってきます。私はすぐにトイレに行きたくてそれどころではなかったため買ってしまいましたが目を閉じている写真だったので正直いらなかったです。断ろうと思えば断れたと思います。
ヨットは砂浜に停留しているので乗る前に履物を預けて一度海に入ってから乗るかたちになります。ヨットの上はいすではなく網を張られた上に円を描くように座るのでスカートをはいていったことを後悔しました。
ヨットが出るとすぐに飲み物の案内が入ります。コーラとワインとカクテル、ビールだったような気がしますがどれものみ放題です。カクテルはおそらくマイタイだと思われます。飲みほうだいでのみすぎてトイレに行きたくなり結構苦労しました。
ヨットから眺めるワイキキはとてもきれいで、海は雨ではありませんがワイキキのあちこちで雨が降っていたのか虹が2本くらい出ていました。
何よりサンセットは格別です。海の上から見るとのビーチで見るのではまた違ったよさがありました。本当に楽しかったし、とてもいい景色を心に刻めて素敵な新婚旅行になったと思います。がトイレの心配がなければもっと良かった。
お酒はあまり弱くないと思いましたがマイタイ2杯で結構よったような気がします。ヨットも揺れますし、肌寒いのもあってかと思いますが途中からとてもトイレに行きたくて仕方かなったです。のみすぎには注意ですね。
でもそれさえなければ本当に最高の思い出です!

Despite having a reservation, my name was missing at check-in. I was able to explain the situation and board, but I would like better communication. The Sunset Cocktail Cruise itself was great; the crew was friendly, and I enjoyed cocktails (Mai Tai), juice, and snacks. Also, I participated alone, but I can assure you that a woman traveling alone can enjoy it just as much.

I highly recommend Kamata-ran, which was also suggested by the locals. Since I arrived earlier than the meeting time, I took a swim at Waikiki Beach. And finally, it was time to board! The beautiful sea, scenery, and pleasant breeze felt wonderful. However, since the sun is strong, I think it's better to have a jacket or at least a towel the size of a bath towel. It gets hot and painful. I wanted to go to the net area, but since no one else went, it was difficult to get there, so unfortunately, I didn't go. Once we got out to sea, the waves were calm, so I didn't get wet, but as we approached the shallow area, the waves got higher, and my feet got a bit wet. The view of the horizon, the streets of Waikiki, and Diamond Head was amazing! I also saw a sea turtle. It was a great experience. I heard that the evening departure allows you to see the sunset, so I would like to try that next time!
現地日本人もオススメしてくれたカマタラン。
集合時間より早くついたためワイキキビーチで一泳ぎ。
そしていよいよ乗船!
キレイな海、景色、心地よい風が吹きとても気持ちよかったです。
ただ、日差しが強いので上着、もしくはバスタオルぐらいの大きさのタオルはあったほうがいいと思います。あつくて痛いです。
ネットのところに行きたかったのですが誰も行かず行きづらかったので残念ながら行きませんでした。沖にでると波も静かなので濡れることはなかったですが浅瀬に近づくと波が高くなり足元は少々濡れました。
水平線やワイキキの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望でき景色が最高でしたね!
ウミガメも見れました。
とてもいい体験が出来ました。

I've always wanted to ride a catamaran. Whenever I go to Hawaii, I end up packing my schedule too tightly and miss the sunset, watching the catamarans return to the beach with envy.
This time was my first experience, and it was amazing to enjoy a drink on board while looking at the deep blue sea and watching the setting sun... it was the best.
I definitely want to ride it again next time.

However, I always just watched the catamaran.
I had decided to ride it someday, but I always ended up filling my schedule with other plans and regretting it.

We were supposed to meet in front of the Outrigger at 16:45, but we were kept waiting, and the departure was at 17:30.
Everything was in English (as expected), and I couldn't catch much because it was quite fast-paced, but beer, wine, and sparkling drinks were free.
Everyone paid $10 for the Mai Tai, but that was only at the beginning. After that, the staff kept pouring as soon as they saw our glasses were empty.
The cruise lasted a total of an hour and a half, and I was able to enjoy a very elegant time while viewing Diamond Head from a different angle and looking out at the sea off Waikiki.
Of course, the sunset was also amazing.

I signed up because the reviews were good. However, despite having a reservation, I received requests to change the schedule twice—once in Japan and once in Hawaii. In the end, I couldn't participate due to scheduling conflicts. Both times, the reason for the changes was that they had accepted my reservation even though there was already a private booking. Of course, I will get a full refund for the cancellation fees, but it was very disappointing that the trip I was looking forward to was ruined. It may have just been a coincidence that these issues occurred, and I understand that I chose this tour myself, but I was really hoping my family would enjoy our first trip to Hawaii, so it was very disappointing.
口コミで評判が良かったので、申し込みました。しかし予約が取れていたにもかかわらず、日本で1回、ハワイ現地で1回、計2回も日程変更のお願いの連絡が入り、結局スケジュールがあわず参加できませんでした。2回とも変更の理由は貸切の予約が入っているにも関わらず予約をOKしていたとの事でした。もちろんキャンセル代は全て返金してもらいますが、せっかく楽しみにしていた旅行が台無しでした。たまたまこういった事が重なったのかもしれませんし、このツアーを選んだのも自分ですのでしょうがないとは思っていますが、初めてのハワイ旅行を家族に楽しんでもらうために計画していたのに非常に残念な思いをしました。
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused due to the arrangement issues during your trip. Unfortunately, we had back-to-back private bookings on your desired date, which ultimately resulted in us being unable to accommodate you. We have communicated with the operating company to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future. We would be grateful if you could consider using our services again in the future. Once again, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused.
この度はせっかくのご旅行にも関わらず、手配の不備によりご迷惑をおかけし大変申し訳ございませんでした。ご希望の日に続けて貸切が入ってしまい、お客様へは最終的にご案内できない結果となってしまいました。催行会社へも今後同じような事が発生しないよう、十分に管理するよう伝えております。また機会がございましたらご利用いただけたら幸いでございます。この度は本当に申し訳ございませんでした。Alan1.net

Despite the meeting place being at Outrigger Reef, we ended up at Outrigger Waikiki and were 15 minutes late, but the boat arrived just after 8 o'clock. I guess that's American time, right? (laughs)
We arrived at the snorkeling spot in about 10 to 15 minutes. Since it was off Waikiki, we could see Waikiki Beach and the hotels while snorkeling. I was surprised to think we could see sea turtles from such a distance. But we quickly spotted a sea turtle floating on the surface!
As soon as we got into the water, the crew started throwing food to attract the fish. However, the only fish that gathered were dark-colored surgeonfish. There were hardly any colorful tropical fish. But a little further away, there were 5 to 6 of the main attraction, the turtles!!! The water depth was about 7 to 8 meters. The turtles were swimming at about 5 to 6 meters deep, but since I’m good at free diving, I was able to enjoy a rendezvous with the turtles to my heart's content. The turtles seemed accustomed to people and didn’t try to escape even when I got close. Well, touching them is prohibited, so I could only get close, but that was enough to be very satisfying! They occasionally surfaced for air, so even those who can’t dive can enjoy it.
The snorkeling lasted about an hour and a half. After that, we had a 30-minute cruise. The weather was nice, so although the sun was hot, the breeze felt great.
Drinks (cocktails, beer) and photos on board are available for a fee. The snorkeling gear is available for free rental, but there are no fins. I brought my own. The floatation devices are available for free rental, but there are no life jackets, so those who can’t swim might want to prepare accordingly.
待合せ場所がアウトリガーリーフにも係わらず、私たちはアウトリガーワイキキに行ってしまい、集合時間より15分も遅れてしまいましたが、ボートが来たのは8時過ぎ。アメリカ時間ってことでしょうか(笑)
シュノーケリングスポットへは10~15分程度で到着。ワイキキ沖のためシュノーケリングしながらワイキキビーチやホテルが見えるくらいの場所。こんなところで海亀が見えるの?って思う距離です。でもすぐに水面に浮いている海亀を発見!
早速水の中に入ると、船員が餌を撒いて魚を集めてくれます。しかし集まってくる魚は真っ黒のハギ系の魚だけ。カラフルな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんでした。でも、少し離れた所には本命の亀が5~6匹も!!!
水深は7~8メートルというところでしょうか。亀は5~6メートルのところを泳いでいたのですが、私は素潜りが得意なため亀との水中ランデブーを思う存分楽しむことができました。亀は人に慣れているのか近づいても逃げようとしません。ま、触れることは禁止されているので近づくだけですがそれでも十分満足できます!
息をするためにたまに浮き上がってくるので、潜ることができない人でも楽しむことができると思います。
シュノーケリングの時間は1時間半くらいでしょうか。
そのあとは30分ほどのクルージング。天気も良かったので日差しは暑いものの風が気持ちよかったです。
船内での飲み物(カクテル、ビール)と写真は有料です。
シュノーケリングセットは無料貸出ですがフィンはありません。私は持参しました。
浮き棒は無料貸出ですがライフジャケットもありませんので、泳げない方は準備された方がいいかもしれません。

My child (in first grade) wanted to see fish, so we were looking for something easy to do. We were the only Japanese people on the boat departing from Outrigger. All the equipment instructions were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.
My child enjoyed it, especially when the captain caught and showed us an octopus, which made them very happy. On the way back, we cruised towards Diamond Head, making it a great tour that finished in the morning, perfect for families with children.
子供(小学校一年)がお魚をみたいと言い、気軽に出来そうなものを探していました。アウトリガーからの出航で日本人は私達だけでした。器具の説明など全て英語てすが、特に問題ありませんでした。

The day before the snorkeling tour, Waikiki was sunny every day, but just before the meeting time, while having breakfast and looking outside, it started pouring rain and the wind picked up.
I thought, "Is this going to be canceled?" as my husband and I headed to the meeting place, but to our surprise, everyone was cheerful and said, "Once you're inside, it's the same! We're going ahead today!"
While I was relieved that it wasn't canceled, I couldn't help but feel cold waiting at the meeting spot due to the heavy rain and strong winds.
The snorkeling itself was a lot of fun, and I was very satisfied because I got to see many sea turtles and fish! We brought our own snorkel sets and fins, which made swimming easier. They provided us with foam sticks, allowing us to enjoy it for a long time.
However, the sailing after snorkeling was just freezing, and I was shivering. The towel I brought was wet from wiping off the rain and my body, so even covering myself with it didn't help, and even though I had never experienced seasickness before, I ended up feeling nauseous. The weather changed from rain to cloudy.
I realized I should have brought an extra towel for drying off and taken seasickness medication. When we left the hotel, it wasn't raining, so it was a big miscalculation.
シュノーケリングツアーの前日までは毎日晴天のワイキキでしたが、集合時間の少し前に朝食をとりながら外を見ると、大雨で風も強くなってしまった。
「これは中止かなぁ~」と旦那と残念に思いながら集合場所に行ってみると、「中に入っちゃえば同じだよ~!今日は催行OKだよ~!」と陽気な様子。
中止にならなくて嬉しい反面、大雨で風が強くて集合場所で待っている間も寒くてしょうがなかったです。
シュノーケリング自体はとっても楽しく、ホヌにもお魚にもたくさん会えたので大満足!!
私たちはシュノーケルセットとフィンも持参していたので泳ぎやすかったです。
発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくださり、長時間でも楽しめました。
しかしシュノーケリングの終了後のセーリングは、ただただ寒くて凍えていました。
持参したタオルも雨と体を拭いて濡れていたため、それを体にかけても寒くて、尚且つ、今まで一度も船酔いのした事のない私でも、船酔いしてしまいました。
お天気は雨から曇りになっていました。
船酔いの薬を飲んで、寒さ対策は忘れずに体を拭く以外のタオルを持っていったらよかったなと感じました。
宿泊ホテルを出発するときには雨は降っていなかったので、大誤算でした。

This is my third time using the catamaran. The first time I rode it, I got soaked from the splashes and it was quite impactful and fun, so I was looking forward to using it again when I went to Hawaii. However, the second time there were no waves at all and it was boring, but I thought I would give it another try for the third time. Unfortunately, this time there were also no waves and it was too boring. I probably won't use it again.

Last May, when I went to Hawaii, I went on a dolphin tour, and this time I decided to go see whales. I went this year. The boat was large, and I didn't feel seasick, so it was comfortable. We were able to see whales off the coast of Waikiki. We caught glimpses of their backs a few times. Unfortunately, we didn't see any jumps or big tails, but I was moved by my first encounter with whales. If I get the chance again, I would like to challenge myself to go in the middle of winter.
昨年5月にハワイに行った時イルカのツアーに行って次はクジラを見に行こうということで今年行ってきました。船は大きくて船酔いもなく快適。ワイキキ沖でクジラを見ることができました。背中の一部が数回。流石にジャンプとか大きな尻尾は見ることはできませんでしたが、初めてのクジラ遭遇には感動しました。また機会があれば、真冬にチャレンジしたいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the whales, even just a little. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

Fortunately, the weather was nice (though the wind was really strong), and we were able to see a few whales. However, it was indeed difficult to capture them with my iPhone. In the photos, they appear distant, but in reality, they were a bit closer. Filming was also challenging because it was hard to predict where the whales would appear. I missed several opportunities to actually see them because I was so focused on filming. At first, there were announcements indicating the direction to look, but by the time we were heading back, there were no announcements. Just before we arrived, we spotted a whale near the shore, but it's unclear how many people noticed it. There were free activities like lei-making and ukulele lessons on the first floor of the boat, so most people participated. My sister and I didn't join and were on the second or third floor, just gazing out at the sea. I think it was mentioned that the Star of Honolulu tends to sway, but I didn't get seasick. Since the meal wasn't included, we freely ate what we had bought at the supermarket. To be honest, I wished I could have seen more whales jumping out of the water. Lastly, I believe the shuttle service would have cost an extra $12, so we took The Bus number 19 to the event location. On the way back, there was a bus stop very close by, so we were able to return smoothly. (The return bus also had signs indicating stops at Ala Moana Center and Waikiki Beach.)
幸い天気にも恵まれ(風は凄く強かったが)クジラも少しみれた。ただiPhoneで撮影するのはやはり難しい。写真で見ると離れて見えるが実際はもう少し距離が近かった。ビデオ撮影もどこから出現してくるかわからないので、撮影が厳しかった。また撮影に夢中で実際に目でみる機会を何度か失ってしまった。始めのうちはアナウンスで何時の方向に見えると教えてくれるが、帰る頃はアナウンスがない。到着間際に岸の近くにクジラを発見した。ただ気づいた人がどれだけいるかは不明。無料でレイ作りやウクレレなど船の1Fで開催していたので、大抵の人たちが参加していた。私たち姉妹は参加せず2Fだったか3Fだったか?!にいて、海をぼーっと眺めていた。スターオブホノルル号は揺れやすいと掲載されていた気がするが、船酔いもしなかった。食事付きでなかったので、スーパーで買って来た物を自由に食べていた。欲を言えばもっとクジラが海の上に飛び跳ねてる姿を見たかったのが本音です。最後に送迎付きだとプラス$12くらいするはずだったので、ザ・バスの19番に乗って開催場所まで行った。帰りもすぐ近くにバス亭があるので、スムーズに帰れた。(帰りのバスもアラモアナセンターやワイキキビーチ行きとバスに表示が出ていたはず)

On March 20th, my spouse and I participated. As seen in the reviews, the sunset was beautiful, and the atmosphere on the boat was friendly, making it a fantastic experience. We were lucky to also do some whale watching that day. Thank you for the happy time. Mahalo!
3月20日に、夫婦で参加しました。口コミで見た通り、夕日が綺麗に見え、船内もフレンドリーで最高に楽しめました。当日は、たまたまホエールウォッチングも出来てラッキーでした。(^ ^)
幸せな時間ありがとうございました。 マハロ〜♪( ´θ`)ノ

It's great that you can ride on a real submarine and enjoy the view of Waikiki from offshore during the transfer to the submarine. However, the underwater scenery from the submarine wasn't as impressive as I had hoped. The staff were all friendly and pleasant. After the tour, I was informed that there was a free shuttle to Ala Moana, which I decided to use, but it came with the condition of visiting a coral jewelry store... If you're interested in coral jewelry, it might be worth it, but if you're not, it's better not to take it to avoid wasting time.
本物の潜水艦に乗れる、潜水艦までの移動で沖合からワイキキを眺められるといった所が良い。
潜水艦からの海底の風景は期待したほどではない。スタッフは皆親切で好感が持てる。
終了後にアラモアナまでのフリーシャトルに乗せてくれると説明されて利用してみたが、珊瑚のジュエリー販売店での見学が条件だった・・・。珊瑚のジュエリーに興味があれば別だが、興味ない人は利用しない方が時間を無駄にしない。

My wife, 11 month old daughter, and boarded the Star of Honolulu, on the One Star package. The night started with a Mai Tai, which was quite strong (coming as a surprise to me as in my experience, “welcome drinks” tend to be very watered down), and we were taken to our table with our appetizers ready and waiting for us. The food was fantastic! I’m going to be honest; I had low expectations for the food. All you can eat crab on a ship, generally does not mean “high quality” to me. And boy was I proven wrong. The crab especially was very tasty, and my wife and I definitely took advantage of the “all you can eat” description. The show was also very fun to watch, with examples of dances of different styles from around Polynesia. The service from our waiter, Chad, was excellent as well: my water was never empty, empty plates were taken as soon as I was finished, and the crab kept coming. I’ve already suggested the Star of Honolulu to family members for when they visit.

I think there are seasonal factors involved, but I was able to see the whale's spout and tail, which looked small. I was very happy to see the dolphins up close instead of the whales! ★
時期的な問題もあると思いますが、くじらの潮吹きやしっぽが小さく見れました。
鯨に代わりにいるかを近くで見れたのでとても嬉しかったです★

It was very good. We used the shuttle from Aulani on February 27 with four children and three adults. We had a lot of fun. I recommend it. There were events on the boat, such as hula dance and ukulele workshops, which were enjoyable. It was unfortunate that the hula dance instructor felt sick from seasickness. However, the boat didn't sway as much as I expected. I think the lunch was reasonably priced.
Perhaps it was the right season, as we were able to see whales multiple times. Also, it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean perspective, as I had never seen them that way before.
In any case, the children were happy, and I highly recommend it!
とても良かったです.アウラニからの送迎で,子供4人大人3人で2月27日に利用させていただきました.とても楽しかったです.お薦めです.舟の中では,フラダンスやウクレレの講習会などのイベントがあり,楽しませていただきました.フラダンスの先生が船酔いで具合悪かったのが,残念でした.とは行っても,舟は思ったほど揺れてませんでした.お昼の食事は,値段相応かと思います.
時季が良かったのでしょうか,クジラを何度も見られました.また,ワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドを海からの角度から見たことがなかったので,これもまた良かったです.
とにかく,子供も喜んでいましたし,お薦めです!!

There were only two Japanese families, and the rest were foreigners. The instructor's English had a thick accent (Yankee-style speaking), making it difficult to understand. I could only grasp about half of the meaning. Still, it was not a problem. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes to an hour off the coast of Waikiki. Since we had elementary school children with us, we brought life jackets, snorkels, masks, fins, and marine shoes from Japan. We encountered fish and turtles (honu). Bringing a waterproof camera is the best.
We departed in the morning, and the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, so it was cold on the boat after snorkeling. Especially with wet swimsuits and rash guards, it was chilly. It's essential to bring a thick bath towel from the hotel. Foreigners seem fine being naked, though.
After that, we went sailing towards Kahala. It was nice to see the Waikiki Beach hotel group from a different angle offshore. The group photo taken at departure was about $15, roughly the size of B5. It turned out quite nicely. This tour might be a bit tough for children under kindergarten age.
In summary: It's impossible for toddlers to be in the sea without being able to touch the bottom, just with a Styrofoam stick! Life jackets are essential. Bring a bath towel for warmth. And it costs $15.
日本人ファミリーは2組だけでそれ以外は外国人。インストラクターの英語が訛っていて(ヤンキー風しゃべり)聞き取りにくい。半分くらいの意味しかわからず。それでも問題なし。ワイキキの沖合いで30分から1時間くらいシュノーケリング。うちは小学生もいたので日本からライフベスト、シュノーケル、水中マスク、フィン、マリンシューズを持参。魚や亀(ホヌ)に遭遇。防水カメラ持参がベスト。
朝出発で天候がくもり、時々晴れだったのでシュノーケリングの後は船上では寒いです。特に濡れた水着やラッシュガードは寒い。ホテルから厚手のバスタオル持参が必須。外人は裸でも平気みたいですが。
その後カハラ方面へセーリング。沖合いからのワイキキビーチホテル群がいつもと違う方向から見れて良かったです。
出発時に撮ったグループ写真が確か15$。B5くらいの大きさ。 なかなかきれいに撮れてましたよ。幼稚園児以下はこのツアーは少々きついかも。
総括:足の届かない海に発砲スチロールの棒だけで幼児は無理!ライフベストが必須です。
寒さ対策のバスタオル。 そして15$。

The morning started off with a leisurely pickup, and the bus was comfortable. The boat was very clean, making it enjoyable for families, couples, and friends alike!
I had heard in a post that we might only see small whales, so I honestly approached it with a cruising mindset, but we were fortunate enough to see mother and baby whales jumping one after another!
The lunch was delicious, and the afternoon workshops, including ukulele, hula, and lei-making, were fun and enjoyed by everyone.
At the end, they asked if there were any birthday celebrants or newlyweds, and when the honeymooners gathered in front, they sang Hawaiian songs with a guitar, creating a wonderful time for everyone to celebrate.
I highly recommend it!
朝もゆっくりピックアップで、バスも快適。
船もとてもきれいで、家族、カップル、友達同士どんな旅行でも
楽しめる内容でした!
投稿で『小さい鯨の姿が見える程度』と聞いていたので、正直
クルージング感覚で行きましたが、鯨の親子が次々にジャンプ!
とても恵まれていました。
ランチも美味しいし、午後のワークショップもウクレレ、フラ、レイ作りと
楽しく皆満喫していました。
最後には誕生日の方か新婚さんはいますかー?前に出てーっと言われて、
ハネムーナーが前に集まると、ギターでハワイアンソングを歌ってくれて、
みんなで祝福する素敵な時間となりました。
本当におすすめですよー
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
We are glad you were able to encounter an active mother and baby whale!
It seems you also enjoyed the lunch and cultural lessons, which makes us very happy.

In March, there is a high probability of seeing whales raising their young near Diamond Head, so I decided to join the tour. During the first trip, I spotted a spout and moved the boat closer, but I couldn't observe anything further. However, this tour offers a free reschedule if you don't see anything, so I participated again for a second chance. During the second trip, I saw about 20 spouts, around 20 tail flukes, and three dives, so I was very satisfied with the experience. I would like to join again.
3月はかなりの確率でダイヤモンドヘッド付近において子育て中のくじらを見ることができるということで参加しました。1回目は潮吹きを確認し船を進めるもののそれ以上の観測はできませんでした。しかし、このツアーは見れないときは無料で次回の振替権をくれたので、リベンジをすべく2回目に参加しました。2回目では潮吹き20回くらい、尾びれも20回くらい、ダイビングも3回ととても旺盛に動いてくれたので大満足でした。
また、参加したいと思います。
