I saw a humpback whale for the first time. It was a moment of deep emotion, and I thought I might not get to see it, but after witnessing the spout, I saw its tail and then saw it two more times, for a total of four sightings. The 90% encounter rate is no lie.

感動の一瞬であり、みれないかもとおもったが、潮吹きをみたあと、おびれがみれその後2回、計4回みれた、遭遇率90%はうそじゃない。

We participated in a breakfast course with three family members. We saw the tail just once, but our child is only five years old, so we didn't have time to lift them up and see it properly. The breakfast was delicious. Since we ate in the dining room on the first floor, it didn't have the excitement of a 3-star or 5-star cruise. If a whale had appeared, it would have been more lively, but without that, we were just staring at the waves, which became boring. I think snorkeling would be better for families with children.
家族3人で朝食つきコースに参加しました。
一回だけ尻尾がでたのですが、子供はまだ5歳。
もちあげる時間もなく、見ることはできませんでした。
朝食はおいしかったです。
一階の食堂で食べるので、3スターや、5スターのクルーズの楽しさはありません。
くじらが出れば、まわりも盛り上がるのでしょうが、出ないとただ波間を眺めているだけなので、退屈してしまいました。
子供連れの方は、スノーケリングのがいいと思います。

I participated in the morning tour. I only caught a glimpse of a whale from a very far distance just once. I was looking for spouts and saw something black come up to the surface, but honestly, I couldn't tell if it was a whale or not. After the tour, there was a recheck desk, but I didn't have time, so I got off without receiving a reboarding ticket.
How many whales can you actually see on this tour? Can you see them up close like it says on the website or in guidebooks? From the experiences I've read, it seems like about half of the people see whales and half do not, but if those who saw them only caught a distant glimpse like I did, I don't think it's worth participating. I was able to see whales from a distance later at Kamaole Beach in Maui.
However, since it's quite a nice boat, if you think of it as a cruise, you won't feel too disappointed.
午前中のツアーに参加しました。一度だけすごく遠くから鯨がチラッと見れただけです。水吹きを探して、何か黒いものが水面に上がったのを見ましたが、正直鯨かどうかもわかりませんでした。ツアー終了後Recheckの受付はありましたが、時間がないので、再乗船券をもらわずに降りました。
そもそもこのツアーはどのぐらい鯨が見られるんでしょうか?ホームページやガイドブックに載っているような、すごい近くで見ることができるんでしょうか?体験談を見ると、見れない人と「見た」人半々ぐらいですが、もし「見た」人も私のように遠くから見ただけなら、あまり参加しなくてもいいと思います。その後マウイのカマオレビーチで普通に遠くから鯨が見れましたから。
ただし、結構立派な船なので、クルーズだと思ってしまえば、そんなに損した気分にはならないです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to observe any whales this time.
During the cruise, we exchange information with other boats to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to see whales.
The whale watching cruise is a limited-time offering from December to April, so the re-boarding tickets we distributed are only valid during that period. We sincerely apologize to travelers who do not have time to re-board.
Regarding the distance from the whales, due to legal regulations, boats must maintain a distance of 100 meters from the whales.

What was great was that there were no other Japanese people besides us. When you often book optional marine sports tours, they tend to be filled with Japanese participants, but in this case, there were no other Japanese except for us. Consequently, the language spoken by the instructor was English, which might be tough for those who don't speak it. Additionally, only the minimum safety instructions for snorkeling were provided, so beginners might feel anxious. That said, when I did snorkeling for the first time, I just jumped in and copied what I saw, so it might be okay even for complete beginners.
On the day of the tour, I made a mistake with the meeting time and was late, but as soon as I realized my mistake and called, they laughed and said they would wait for me. That was a relief...
The snorkeling spot was amazing; there were so many turtles, and I encountered a lot of turtles and fish! After snorkeling, we had a cruise from off Waikiki to around Diamond Head, which was also great! I would love to join this tour again.
良かったのは、なによりも日本人が私たち以外いなかったこと。
良くマリンスポーツのオプショナルツアーを申し込むと、日本人だらけのツアーになりがちなのですが、これは日本人は私たち以外いませんでした。
必然的にインストラクターの喋る言語は英語なので、英語が出来ない人には辛いかもしれません。
また、シュノーケルに関する最低限の注意事項のみしかレクチャーされないため、シュノーケルが初めての人は不安に感じるかもしれません。
といっても私も初めてシュノーケルをやった時は見よう見真似でいきなりやったので、全くの初心者でも大丈夫なのかもしれませんが。
当日、集合時間を間違え遅刻をしたのですが、その間違いに気が付いた瞬間、電話をしたら、笑って待っててもらえました。良かった・・・。
シュノーケルをしたポイントは、本当に亀がいっぱいいたので、沢山の亀と魚に出会えましたよ!
シュノーケル後は、ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドあたりまでのクルーズがついていたので、それも良かったです!
またこのツアーに参加したいです。

We participated in a tour on the morning of December 19, just as the season started, as a couple. Although we only got to see a dolphin briefly, it was not a disappointing experience, and we were satisfied with the cruise, which had a different charm from the sunset dinner. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the background of the photo taken during boarding included an old warehouse and a cargo ship. (However, since it was a keepsake, I ended up purchasing it...) The food was cheap. Since we were returning home the next day, the reboarding ticket seems like it will go to waste, but I was satisfied as it provided a good conversation starter.
今シーズンがスタートしたばかりの12/19の午前中のツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
イルカをちょっと見られただけで、残念な結果ではありましたが、サンセットディナーとは趣の違うクルーズで満足でした。
敢えて苦言を呈するなら、乗船時の写真撮影で、背景に古ぼけた倉庫と貨物船が写っていたこと。(でも、記念なので購入しましたが・・・)。食事がチープ。
翌日帰国だったので、再乗船のチケットは無駄になりそうですが、話のタネとして満足でした。

The last time I participated, I got completely soaked and it was fun, so this time I prepared a bath towel with the expectation of getting wet again. However, there were no waves, and it was just a regular yacht sailing. I guess it's just the nature of the activity. I think I will try it again next time without being discouraged. It's a short experience and the price is reasonable, so I think it's great for those who don't have much time.

We booked the early bird whale watching tour in early January. The ship, crew and food were great but we didn't see as many whales as I had hoped. We did find two whales swimming together and the ship was able to follow them for awhile so we got a few good pictures of the whales blowing water up, their backs surfacing and their tails coming out of the water.
It sounds like that was considered a good trip for Honolulu whale watching so I was happy with it. A lady we talked to had gone out on the same tour the day before and she didn't see anything so she came back out with our group the next day.
If you're looking to really see the whales, I would suggest going to Lahaina in Maui if possible. My husband and I booked an island tour of Maui later on in our vacation and we saw more whales in a shorter time period by driving down the coast near Lahaina than we did on our whale watching tour in Honolulu. It's still a good tour for those in Oahu though!

I had never visited Hawaii during the winter season, so I was looking forward to whale watching. The boat was large and more than adequate, but since it carried many passengers, I wished they had made some efforts to gather information about the whales in advance with smaller boats, so that the guests could enjoy the experience more. Because the boat was so big, it couldn't maneuver easily, and while the captain was likely focused on finding the whales, I felt there could have been a bit more creativity in their approach. Additionally, they offered tickets for another trip if we didn't see any whales, but since the validity period was only until March, it limits those who can return to Hawaii soon. I think at least a one-year validity would be more reasonable. I was also told that the only time available for a second trip was the same morning time, but if they truly wanted to provide good service, they should accommodate afternoon times as well. Everyone has their schedules set while in Hawaii, so I believe that kind of flexibility is necessary.
冬の時期にハワイを訪れたことがなかったので、ホエールウォッチングは楽しみにしていました。船は大きく申し分ありませんでしたが、乗船客もたくさん乗せているので、鯨がいくら自然の生き物であっても、先に小さめの船で鯨の情報を集めておくとか、少しでもお客さんが楽しめるように工夫をしてほしかったです。船が大きいために、小回りが利かないし、船長も鯨を求めて操縦しているのでしょうけれども、もう少し工夫ができるのではないかと感じてしまいました。さらに、鯨に会えなかったら、再度乗船できるチケットを配っていましたが、乗船できる期間も3月まででは、もう一度ハワイにすぐ来れる人は限られてしまうので、せめて有効期限は1年間にしてほしいと思います。乗船できる時間も朝の同じ時間しか無理だと言われましたが、本当に再度乗船してほしいというサービス精神があるのならば、午後の時間でも対応してほしいです。みんな、それなりにハワイでのスケジュールが決まっていると思うので、そのくらいの対応は必要だと思います。

I realize there is no guarantees ~ I guess my expectations were unrealistic & the boat could not get too close for the safety of these beautiful animals.

I didn't drink much, but the young foreigners in the group were drinking a lot and having a great time, which made me excited just watching them.

I wish they had pushed back the check-in time. However, it was so enjoyable that it made up for it. I'm sure the kids will be thrilled!

I participated alone, leaving my friend who is prone to seasickness behind. This tour is perfect for those who want to see sea turtles! If you wait, they come up to the surface for air, so even those who can't dive can see them up close. It's definitely better than the roped-off basking area at Laniakea Beach (laughs).
I read that they don't provide fins, so I brought my own. I didn't use them, but the floating stick that serves as a life jacket seemed a bit unreliable, so I think those who aren't confident in their swimming should wear a rash guard or bring a floatie for a more enjoyable experience.
There were only black fish, so you can't expect to see tropical fish while snorkeling. It was disappointing that we couldn't see dolphins during the cruising, but it was still a pleasant experience.

For those considering an easy marine activity, you can enjoy 90 minutes of sailing off the coast of Waikiki with your children. The boat is new, and the staff is friendly. It was unfortunate that we were the only Japanese guests on a fully booked day.
Departure and return are from Waikiki Beach, making access excellent. Wearing swimwear is recommended, but just make sure to wear something that can get wet. The danger level is extremely low. There are no issues with participation for seniors. Both my wife and I qualified for the senior discount. Once you experience it, you might become addicted. You'll definitely want to recommend it to others. Not understanding English is not a problem at all. Mahalo.
手軽なマリーンactivityをお考えの方お子様連れの方、90分ワイキキ沖のsailing楽しめます。 船も新しい、stuffもfriendly。 当日満席、日本人は我々だけだったのが残念。
出航、帰着がワイキキビーチからなのでアクセス抜群。 swim wear着用が望ましいが、とりあえず濡れてもいい格好で乗船すること。 危険度は極めて低い。 爺、婆の参加問題なし。我々夫婦共にsenior discount 対象。
一度体験すると病み付きになりそう。 きっと他人にも薦めたくなる。 英語分からなくても全然問題なし。 mahalo

This cruise was so much fun! We really enjoyed the crablegs, and the Mai Tai's are the best in Waikiki! They really get you involved by getting you up to dance and sing! It was my wedding night, so they sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song to me and my new hubby, and the next day was my birthday so they also sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great, fun, romantic activity, and I would definitely do it again!

I wanted to enjoy activities at the beach and have fun drinking!
I decided to participate because it seemed like they could accommodate those requests. I heard from other comments that there were hardly any Japanese people, but during my time, there were about three other groups.
I don't understand the language at all, but the atmosphere is nice.
It feels like only the Japanese are enjoying the all-you-can-drink option. The other foreigners were taking orders.
But even though it was a short time, it was quite fulfilling.
- The view of Diamond Head in the daylight
- The sight of numerous yachts floating on the sea
- The view of Honolulu from the ocean
- A wonderful sunset
- Diamond Head glowing in the sunset light
Additionally, it was quite windy on the yacht, so I brought something to wear. Just when I started to feel a bit tipsy, my friend's shirt flew away!!
It got blown away by the wind and disappeared into the sea...
Oh no (laughs).
Well, since we had some drinks, we laughed about it, and it became a fun memory.
Everyone, please be careful not to lose anything in the sea!
海でのアクティビティも楽しみたいし
お酒も楽しく飲みたい!
そんな要望を答えてくれそうだったから
参加しました。
他の人のコメントでは、日本人がほとんどいないと
聞いていたけど、私の時は、他に3組ほどいました。
言葉は全然分からないけど、雰囲気は良いです。
日本人だけ飲み放題な感じです。
他の外国人の人たちは、注文とってたし。
でも短時間なのに、かなり充実していました。
?明るいうちのダイヤモンドヘッド
?海に浮く数々のヨットの景色
?海から見るホノルルの景色
?ステキな夕日
?夕日に照らされて燃えるようなダイヤモンドヘッド
その他に、
ヨットの上は風が強いから羽織るものを持っていきました。
そしたら酔いもほろほろになってきたころ
友達のシャツが!!
風に飛ばされて海の彼方に消えていきました・・・
あ~あ(笑)
まっ、お酒も入っているから
笑っちゃって、楽しい思い出になっています。
皆さんも海に落し物が無いよう
気をつけてください。

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time riding a submarine.
First, we took a boat for about 5 to 10 minutes to reach the submarine, but even for someone like me who gets seasick easily, it was fine. There was so much to see that I didn't have time to feel sick! The beach viewed from the sea was very beautiful, and Diamond Head was truly impressive. Plus, we even saw a pod of dolphins!!! I boarded the submarine in a state of great excitement.
The guide was American, but he explained everything in very beautiful Japanese, so the audio guide was unnecessary. (He also made a lot of jokes, which were entertaining.) Of course, I was excited to see the fish and sea turtles, but I was particularly thrilled by the shipwrecks and airplanes.
I'm not sure if I will repeat this experience the next time I go to Hawaii, but I definitely recommend it to those who haven't tried it yet.
ハワイは3回目ですが、潜水艦に乗るのは今回が初めてでした。
まずは船で潜水艦まで5分~10分ぐらい?かけて行きますが、船酔いしやすい私でも大丈夫でした。
というのも、見るものが多すぎて酔っている場合じゃない!のです。
海側から見るビーチはとても美しく、ダイアモンドヘッドも大迫力でした。
しかも、イルカの群れまで!!!
大興奮のまま潜水艦に乗り込みました。
ガイドさんはアメリカの方でしたがとても綺麗な日本語で説明してくれたので、オーディオガイドは不要でした。
(ジョークも多く、面白かったです。)
魚やウミガメはもちろんですが、私は沈没船や飛行機にわくわくしました。
次にハワイに行った時、リピートするかはわかりませんが、未体験の方には是非おすすめです。

The day I participated was mostly cloudy, and unfortunately, the sunset was hidden behind the clouds. However, I was deeply moved when the sun briefly showed its face.
I also went on a snorkeling tour during the daytime cruise, but the night view of Waikiki was so beautiful that I recommend the sunset cruise if you have to choose one.
I had trouble finding the restroom, but if you ask the staff, they will guide you. There is a lever at the entrance to flush the toilet. It was cleaner than I expected.
I think it's the best activity you can easily join from Waikiki!
参加した日は一日曇りがちでしたが、サンセットも残念ながら太陽がかくれていました。なので一瞬顔を見せた夕日に感動ひとしおでした。
昼間のクルージングもシュノーケリングツアーで乗りましたが、ワイキキの夜景がとてもきれいだったので、どちらか乗るならサンセットがおすすめです。
トイレがわからなくて困りましたが、スタッフに声をかければ案内してくれます。水を流すのは入口のところにレバーがあります。思ったより清潔でした。
ワイキキから気軽に参加できる最高のアクティビティだと思います!
