When we actually started to see a little bit of activity. They turned back to port. Only saw a few blows and a little bit of the side of a whale. A big disappointment!! That should of been considered a no show and whale watch guarantee should have been applied

We had a wonderful time on our whale watching excursion! We were picked up by the bus - it was early/on-time. We made it to the dock, got our picture taken (didn't buy it, it was too pricey!), then on to the boat. The boat was huge and there was plenty of seating inside and on the top deck. We opted out of lunch, which I think was for the best since me and my husband didn't feel that great on the ride out in the open water. But it did look nice and drinks were available for purchase. Once we got out on the water, we started seeing some whale blows and headed more in that direction. We then saw dolphins swimming next to our boat which was just as exciting as seeing the whale! But what was even cooler was once we got closer to the whale, marine biologist said that what we were seeing was the dolphins were playing with the whale, which he hadn't seen in 4 years! He was very informative. We also enjoyed some live music which seemed the bring the whales and dolphins around more! We probably saw about eight whales in all, ten dolphins and one sea turtle. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, aside from feeling a little seasick.

I participated with my 6-year-old and 3-year-old children.
We joined the 2nd-floor buffet dinner plan. Check-in was on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and we were guided to the buffet seats in order of arrival. To avoid crowding, we were seated at tables in sequence. While waiting for the buffet, we were entertained with hula shows and ukulele performances, which was a nice touch.
The buffet included not only salads and fruits but also hearty dishes like whole roasted pig and roast beef. In the latter part of the meal, there were small cakes, sorbet, coffee, and tea, so we could enjoy a complete dining experience. The Mai Tai cocktail that came with the buffet could be substituted with fruit juice for children or those who prefer non-alcoholic options, and it was delicious.
After finishing the meal, we moved to the show in order. Although we were seated near the back, the venue was large and elevated, making it easy to see. The show featured a variety of performances, from basic hula dancing to Elvis, Michael Jackson, and fire dancing, providing an enjoyable experience. The children had fun, even if they didn’t fully understand everything.
During the show, it was dark and the sound was loud, which caused some little babies to cry, but it was entertainment that everyone, from adults to children, could enjoy. At the end of the show, they were happy to let us take photos with our smartphones and cameras, allowing us to enjoy the experience until the very end.
6歳と3歳子供を連れて参加しました。
2階ブッフェディナープラン
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にて受付、受付順にブッフェ席へ。ブッフェは混みあわないようテーブル順に案内されます。ブッフェ待ちの間はフラショーやウクレレで歌や踊りでおもてなしされ配慮されていました。
ブッフェにはサラダやフルーツのほかにも豚の丸焼きやローストビーフなど、ボリュームのある食事もあります。後半には小さなケーキとソルベ、コーヒー、紅茶もあるのでひととおりの食事をいただくことができます。
ブッフェのセットについてくるマイタイカクテルも子供やノンアルコールの方はフルーツジュースにしてもらえるので、こちらもおいしかった。
食事が終わった方から順にショーへ移動。案内されたのはほぼ最後列でしたが、会場は大きくても高さがあるので見やすかったです。ベーシックなフラダンスから、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、ファイアーダンス等、バラエティーに富んで楽しめる構成でした。子供たちもわからないなりに楽しんでいました。
ショーの間は暗いし、音も大きいので小さな赤ちゃんは泣いていましたが笑、大人から子供まで楽しめるエンターテインメントでした。ショー終わりで自分のスマホやカメラで写真も快く撮影してくれるので最後まで楽しめます。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

On January 30th, I had high hopes for the season, but unfortunately, I didn't see any whales. I didn't even see any dolphins. The weather was nice, and the cruise itself was good. If you don't see anything, it would be nice to have an option for the next ticket, as some people can go and some cannot, such as offering a "compensation gift."
1/30、時期的にも期待していたが、クジラは残念ながら見られなかった。イルカすら見られなかった。
天気がよく、クルーズ自体は良かった。
見られなかった場合の次の乗船券は行ける人と行けない人がいるので、選択制で「お詫びの品をあげる」等あると良いと思う。

Before departing from Japan, the weather forecast predicted cloudy rain, but it turned out to be sunny, as we say in Japan. The pick-up was smooth, and after boarding, we had a light snack while the captain gave an explanation. Then we had free time and went to the upper deck. After about 20 minutes, the captain announced that we were heading towards 1 o'clock, and we could see the spouting. After that, every 20 minutes or so, we were able to see the spouting and tails, and I was able to take photos with a telephoto lens. On the way back, we were also lucky enough to see dolphins. The boat accommodated 1,500 people, and I didn't feel much rocking, so it was comfortable. The upper deck can be quite windy and chilly, so having a windbreaker would be a good idea.
日本出発前は、曇り雨予報でしたが、結局は、日本でいう晴れでした。送迎もスムーズで、乗船後、軽食を採りながら船長の説明があった後、フリーとなり、屋上デッキへ。20分くらいして船長から1時の方向とアナウンスがあり、潮吹きが見えました。その後も20分くらい置きに、潮吹き、尻尾を見ることができ、望遠レンズで写真も撮れました。帰りには、イルカも見ることが出来、ラッキーでした。船も1500人乗りで、揺れもそんなに感じること無く快適でした。屋上は、風が強く肌寒いので、ウインドブレーカーがあるといいです。

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, but this time I'm here with my daughter who is visiting for the first time, so when you think of Hawaii, you think of hula dancing. I wanted my daughter to experience the beauty of Hawaii, so I chose a rock fusion hula show. We opted for the buffet dinner, and to sum it up, we were very satisfied.
Around 6:00 PM, we went to the Royal Hawaiian Center on the fourth floor to exchange our vouchers for entry stickers, which we placed on our chests. While waiting near the entrance, we were already welcomed by hula dancing. After that, we were invited into the tent based on the stickers we had on our chests, where we were shown to our seats. We were asked if we wanted two types of welcome cocktails and whether we wanted alcohol or not. Those who looked young were asked to show their passports. In the U.S., it's not allowed to serve alcohol to anyone under 21, so it's necessary to carry your passport. My daughter is 23, but she was still asked to show hers.
When the time came, we toasted and went to get food from the buffet. There was a whole roasted pig and various other dishes, and I got a bit greedy and couldn't finish everything. The food was delicious, and we were thoroughly satisfied while enjoying hula dancing during the meal.
After finishing our meal, we were guided inside the building to move to the second-floor seating. If you go to the guide early, you can sit in the front row of the second-floor seats, which offers a great view and is a good deal. The show featured various styles of hula dancing, impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and it was a lot of fun. It was a great value. My daughter initially came with the mindset of just accompanying her dad, but she ended up enjoying the meal and the hula dancing, and she was very satisfied with the fun show.
I also thought that if my late mother had seen this show during our last overseas tour in Hawaii four years ago, she would have been even happier. In any case, I highly recommend it.
5回目のハワイですが、今回はハワイが初めての娘と一緒なのでハワイと言えばフラダンス。娘にハワイの良さを感じさせたいとロックと融合したロック:ア:フラショーを選びました。ビュッフェディナーを選びました。結論から言えば大満足でした。6:00頃会場のロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階に行ってバウチャーと入場シールを交換して胸に貼って入口付近で待っているとフラダンスをして早くも和ませていただきました。その後ビュッフェディナーの我々は胸に貼ったシールを見てテントに招き入れられそこで席に案内されて着席。ウェルカムのカクテル二種類とアルコール入りか?無しか?を聞かれて若く見える人はパスポートの提示を求められます。アメリカでは21歳以外だった?にはアルコールを提供してはならないので当然ですがパスポートは携帯しておくことが必要です。娘は23歳ですが当然?提示を求められました。やがて時間が来ると乾杯してブッフェの料理を取ります。豚さんのの丸焼きや色々有って私は欲張ってあれこれ入れて、少し食べきれませんでした。味もよくお食事しながらフラダンスを食事会場でしてくれて充分に満足出来ました。
食事が終わると建物内に誘導されて二階席に移ります。
早め早めに、誘導する人の元に行って食事も建物への移動もすれば二階席の最前列席に座れるので非常に見易くお得です。ショーも色々趣向を変えたフラダンス、エルビスのそっくりさんやマイケルジャクソンが時間をかけて色々出てくるので楽しかったです。お値打ちがあります。娘は当初はお父さんにお付き合い程度の意識で来ましたが、食事やその時のフラダンスで結構満足して、楽しいショーも見れて大満足していました。私も前回4年前のハワイは亡くなった母親と一緒の最後の海外ツアーでしたが、このショーを見せてあげれば更に喜んだだろうと想いました。ともかくお勧めです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

We participated as a family of three: my husband, our 5-year-old son, and I.
[Review]
It was really fun, but please keep in mind that the location is in Hawaii, and it's best to assume sunny weather. There may be limited shade, but it's possible to rent a paid space.
[Advice before using]
★ There is no guidance for the morning pickup bus. Make sure to wait on the roadside at least five minutes before the scheduled pickup time and actively inform the driver by saying "wet & wild"! Sometimes, there are various pickup buses, and if you don't speak up, you might be overlooked and miss the bus.
★ The water slides here far exceed those at Toshimaen!
★ If you are over 130 cm tall, you can enjoy the thrill rides ← There is quite a difference between the height listed on the homepage and the actual height panel.
★ There are also thrilling rides available for those around 120 cm tall.
★ If you visit during the rainy season in January, bring long sleeves, long pants, and warm drinks ← only cold carbonated drinks are available.
★ The wristband you wear for access varies ← Lunch options like hamburgers are treated the same as the basic wristband, but lunch tickets can be obtained at the ticket booth. The driver may not know this; when I asked, he said he didn't know. By the way, he doesn't speak Japanese.
★ Arrival is between 10:00 and 10:30, and departure is at 15:15 ← Make sure to change and be at the bus stop by 15:00, or you might miss the bus.
★ Lockers are operated via a touch panel, and you can select Japanese for the language. Payment can be made by card. The space for your belongings is small, so pack lightly! It costs $10 for a small locker or $18 for a large one, and the money is non-refundable. Since the shuttle and lunch are included, keep valuables to a minimum and manage with a waterproof pouch for your card and about $50-100, along with a waterproof camera or smartphone.
★ Overall, the rainy season is cold, and once you get out of the pool, you can't warm up, which can lead to getting chilled. I fell and scraped my skin, resulting in bleeding, and I received treatment in the first aid room. The floor is slippery, so please be especially careful during the rainy season. Also, please avoid touching the snails.
息子5歳児と主人と私3人で参加しました。
[感想]
すごく楽しいですがまずハワイという立地で晴れた日を想定した場所ということだけ認識してください。
日陰はおそらく少なく感じますが、有料のレンタルスペースを借りる事も可能です。
[利用する前のアドバイスです]
★朝の迎えバスの案内は皆無です。ホテルのピックアップは集合時間の5分以上前に道路側で待ち、必ず「wet & wild」と運転手さんに積極的声がけをオススメします!
いろいろピックアップのバスに乗ってますが声がけがない時もありスルーされ乗れないことがあります
★としまえんのプールを遥かに超えるウォーター
スライダーの宝庫です!
★身長が130cm以上なら絶叫系が楽しめる←ホーム
ページの身長とokの身長パネルは結構差異があります。
★身長120cmくらいでも楽しめる絶叫系もあります。
★1月の雨季に行く時は長袖長ズボンや
温かい飲み物を持参すること←飲み物は冷たい
炭酸系ドリンクしかありません(^^;;
★腕に巻くバンドで利用できるものが異なります←ハンバーガーなどのランチ付きはバンドがベーシックのものと同じ扱いですがランチチケットはチケット売り場でもらえます。そのこと運転手さんは知らないです。実際聞いたら知らないと言われてました。ちなみに日本語はできないです。
★到着10:00ー10:30、出発時間15:15←15:00までにバス乗り場にいられる様着替えなども済ませておかないと乗り遅れてしまいます。
★ロッカーはタッチパネル式で操作も日本語が選べてカード払いができます。物を入れるスペースは狭いので
少なめに!1箇所小10ドルか大18ドルかかりお金は戻ってきません。
送迎とランチ付きなので貴重品は最低限にし防水ポーチにカードと50ー100ドルくらい防水カメラ防水スマホでのりきれました。
★とにかく雨季は寒くプールから出ても暖は取れず寒いままで体が冷え切ってしまい私は転倒し擦り傷で出血。救護室で手当てしてもらいました。床も滑りやすいので雨季は特にお気をつけてください。
あとスネールは触らない様にしてください。

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.
For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).
I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.
The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!
港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした(酔い止め薬は必須かと思います)
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見!30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです!

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.
From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.
ピィクアップ場所から バスでホノルルハーバーに乗船時に 船長が出迎えくれ顔を少し上げれば 他のクルーズ船 空には飛行機(ホノルル空港旅客機です)と 正に
ザ リゾート 出港すると コンテナ船 リゾート船 コートガードの船見ながら ワイキキ沖を目指します。これだけでも遊覧船気分です。ここからクジラのいるポイントに行き クジラが息継ぎで 海面に現れるをまちます。私自身知らなかったのですが クジラはずっと海面居るわけではなく クジラを追い求めて色々な場所に 行くわけでは ありません。船の側舷に出て ひたすら クジラを探します。でも 心配しないでください。クジラが現れると時計回りの方向を館内放送してくれます。英語が苦手でも大丈夫です。人が一気に右や左に移動します。1度潜ると20分以上 浮上しないため クジラに会えても 何回も見られ訳ではありません。私は今回 2回会えました。ただ 法律で 100ヤードルールがあるらしく(クジラとの距離を100ヤード以上離す)間近で見られ訳ではありません。2回目合えた時 たまたま 船の直ぐ側に浮上したため 大きく見えました。(この場合 クジラを傷つけないようにエンジンを切るのがルールらしい) 毎回 必ず見られる訳ではありません。ハワイの天気予報晴れの日に予約必要です。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

It was a wonderful show! I had the buffet in a separate tent before the show started, and there were many delicious options. There was also a small hula show inside the tent.
It started to rain during the show, but there was a cover to keep us dry, so I wasn't worried at all. After the meal, we moved to a different location for the hula show.
After several performances, Elvis Presley made an appearance! Although I'm not from that generation, I think he must have looked just like him. The older audience members around me were cheering, and when he came down to the audience to shake hands with everyone, some people were even in tears.
After a few more performances, it was time for Michael Jackson. He also resembled the original quite well. Not just in appearance and voice, but also in performance, it must have taken a tremendous amount of effort.
I got to see the moonwalk too! I could only take still photos, so the pictures turned out a bit confusing, but it was truly amazing, and I highly recommend seeing it in person!
素晴らしいショーでした!
ビュッフェはショーが始まる前に別のテントで食べたのですが、種類も多く美味しかったです。テントの中でも小さなフラショーがありました。
途中で雨が降ってきたのですが、濡れないよう雨避けがされますので心配いりませんでしたよ。
食後、場所を移っていよいよフラショーです。
いくつかの演目の後、エルヴィス・プレスリーが登場!
世代ではないのですが、きっとそっくりだったんだと思います。周りで見ていた年配の方の歓声が上がっていましたし、客席に降りて一人ひとりと握手をしてくれた時には涙ぐんでいる方もいるほどでした。
その後またいくつか演目を挟み、今度はマイケル・ジャクソンです。こちらもよく似ていました。姿形や声のみならずパフォーマンスまで、となると、大変な努力だろうと思います。
ムーンウォークも見られました!撮影は静止画のみで動画が撮れなかったため、なんだかワケの分からない写真になっていますが…実際は本当に素晴らしかったので是非現地でご覧いただきたいと思います!

It was popular, and although the reservation was only for drinks and photos, it was amazing.
We were seated on the second floor, but the view was very good.
I was lucky to get photos and autographs as well.
人気があり、ドリンクと写真撮影のみの予約となりましたが、最高でした。
2階席でしたが、とても見やすかったです。
写真撮影やサインももらえて、ラッキーでした。

As we boarded the boat and set off, we spotted dolphins swimming in the distance. I was excitedly wondering if we would see a whale next! I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!
I want to see it again!
船に乗り少しすると遠くの方でイルカが泳いでるのを発見。
次はクジラか⁉︎とワクワクしながら海を眺めましたが、なかなか現れてくれませんでした。
ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを別の角度から見たりしながら、海の上をプカプカ…
とその時、クジラ⁉︎水しぶきが上がっているのを発見しました。
そしてついにクジラの大ジャンプ‼︎
もう一回見たいですね〜
