My parents in their 70s participated (I had to act separately because I have children). The weather was nice, and it seems they had a wonderful cruise. They were able to see plenty of whales and got a close view of Diamond Head.
Since it's an early morning tour, it can be tough, but you can make good use of the afternoon, so I recommend the morning tour. Even my parents, who are in their 70s and have no English skills at all, enjoyed participating. If you're considering optional tours for a three-generation trip, definitely think about this tour. It will surely create wonderful memories.
70代の両親が参加しました。(私は子供がいるため別行動)
天気も良く素晴らしいクルーズになったようです。
クジラも十分に見ることができ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも間近に見れたそうです。
朝早いツアーなので大変ですが、午後からの時間を有効に使えるので午前のツアーがオススメです。
70代の英語が全くだめな両親でも楽しく参加できました。
もし三世代旅行のオプショナルツアーに迷っていたらぜひこのツアーを検討してみてください。きっと素晴らしい思い出になること間違いなしです。

Maybe I was expecting too much. Since we went on a large bus and a big boat, there were a lot of people, and we had to line up for snorkeling, which made it difficult to move and we kept bumping into others. It was also disappointing that there weren't many fish; there were more at Waikiki Beach, haha. Snorkeling was hard because I didn't have fins, so it was tough to get around. Next time, I want to choose a different optional tour with a smaller group.
期待しすぎていたのかな。
大型バス、大型の船で行くので人が多くて、シュノーケリングも列で並んで進まないといけないし、人にぶつかるし、あまり魚がいないのも残念だった。ワイキキビーチの方が魚いた笑
シュノーケリングは足ヒレがないからなかなか進みずらかった。
今度は少人数での別のオプショナルツアーにしたいと思う。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide the service that met your expectations.
Although it was a mixed tour, I apologize that your experience in the beautiful waters of Hawaii was ruined due to the waiting time. I confirmed with the operating company regarding the rental of snorkeling fins. They mentioned that snorkeling equipment, including fins, is always available on the boat, but since many customers do not use fins, they are only lent out upon request. I understand that there may be customers who are not aware of the rental fins, so I have made sure to advise the operating company to provide clear information about the rental equipment.
We take your feedback seriously and will work together with the operating company to further improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy time.

この度はツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、ご期待に沿ったサービスを提供できませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
混載ツアーのためとはいえ、せっかくのハワイの海での体験が待ち時間のため台無しとなってしまったことお詫び申しあげます。
シュノーケリングのフィンのレンタルに関して催行会社に確認させていただきました。シュノーケリング用具はフィンも含め船に常備しているとのことでしたが、フィンを使用されないお客様が多いため、お客様からリクエストがあった場合のみ、お貸出ししているようでした。今回のようにフィンのレンタルにお気づきにならないお客様もいらっしゃることと存じますので催行会社にはレンタル用具に関してはしっかりとご案内するよう注意いたしました。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社と共に、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

The seats you are guided to when you board the ship are just for the initial explanation, so don't worry if your seat doesn't have a view of the sea. After the explanation, you can freely go out to the deck. Since the wind can be cold, I recommend bringing something to wear. I was able to see the whales jumping clearly. I also saw swimming sea turtles. Everything was explained in English.
船に乗り込んだときに案内される席は、
最初の説明を受けるだけの席なので
海が見えない席でも安心してください。
説明終了後に自由にデッキに出られます。
風が冷たいので羽織るものを持参されると良いと思います。
くじらのジャンプをしっかり見ることができました。
泳いでいるウミガメも見れました。

My experience was great. We booked the tour just two hours before the last bus leaves Waikiki. So the agent called us to confirm if we can get the bus from the next stop which was only 4 blocks away. We went to Paradise cover and the tour guide kept everybody entertained. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

It was great to see the humpback whales swimming right in front of us multiple times and to witness them spouting water. My children and my mother-in-law were also delighted.
Since it was a live event, I was worried about various risks such as weather and the possibility of not seeing the animals, but everything turned out perfectly. Additionally, making leis at the craft event, where the whole family created the same lei to take home, became a wonderful memory.
Next time, I would like to come with my own parents.
ザトウクジラの泳ぐ姿が何度も目の前で見られたり、潮を吹くのを見れ、子供も帯同した義母も喜んでもらえ、よかったです。
ナマモノなイベントだけに、天候リスク、動物が出てこないリスクなどをいろいろと心配しながらも、すべてがパーフェクトにでき、かつ民芸イベントでのレイ作りは、家族みんなで同じレイを作り、持って帰れ、良い思い出になりました。

Entire family had a wonderful experience. The crew was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Plenty of time to enjoy the Kaneohe Bay sandbar and snorkel around the coral reef. Saw sea turtles and hand fed fish at the reef. They spent time teaching people who had never snorkeled before. And they provided all sizes of equipment from kids to oversize adults. Simple lunch of cheeseburgers with all the fixings, chips, bbq beans and fruit was plenty. Price was as reasonable as any other tourist activity on the island but a lot more fun.

I chose this plan because I had children with me, but there were so many people that it took a long time to get into the water, to board the boat, and for the snorkeling instructions. In total, we spent about 15 minutes actually in the water.
We snorkeled just a little off the sandbar, forming a long line with a large group, which made it difficult to move freely. The visibility underwater wasn't great, possibly due to the clouds, and because there were so many people, we quickly received an announcement to return to the boat, which ended the experience in about 5 minutes.
Since I usually do skin diving, I felt that this was not really at the level of snorkeling.
The point where we saw a turtle had good visibility and looked interesting, but we could only see it from the boat.
With a large number of participants and many people who seemed unfamiliar with the sea, those who usually enter the water themselves might find the waiting time too long and unsatisfying.
The boat was clean, large, and comfortable. There were also several types of drinks available during the trip.
子供がいたのでこのプランにしましたが、人数が多くて海に入るまでに
時間がかかり、船に上がるのにも時間がかかり、シュノーケルの説明にも
時間がかかりと、実際海に入っている時間はトータル15分くらいでした。
シュノーケルはサンドバーからほんの少しそれたところへ、大人数で列を
なして進み、自由に動けないのと曇りのせいか海中の透明度もよくなく、
また人数が多いせいか、すぐに船にもどってくださーいというアナウンスが
あり、5分程度で終わりました。
普段スキンダイビングをしているため、こちらはシュノーケルとはいえない
レベルの内容でした。
途中亀を見たポイントは透明度も高くて面白そうでしたが、これは船から見るのみ。
ツアー人数も多く、海に慣れていない人も多い様だったので
普段自分で海に入る人には、待機時間が長すぎて物足りないかもしれません。
船は綺麗で大きく、快適でした。
途中でもらえる飲み物も何種類もあります。

It was a tour to swim with dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. However, they took us far to search for them, which is not a usual route, and they entertained us with dances, so we didn't feel bored at all.
During snorkeling, we got to see a sea turtle! Although we couldn't swim together, we were able to see dolphins up close, which is a rare sight.
For me, the highlight was that the captain let me sit in the driver's seat; I was truly happy to have such a precious experience! ❤️
On the way back, since we couldn't swim with the dolphins, they gave us a half-price voucher and shared a video taken with a drone, showing the staff's wonderful consideration. Thank you very much!
イルカと泳ぐツアーでしたが、残念ながらイルカと会えなかったんです。でもいつもは行かない遠いところまで探しに行ってくれたり、ダンスをして楽しませてくれたりと退屈せずに過ごせました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメさんに会えました!そして、一緒に泳ぐことはできないけれど、滅多に見れないイルカを間近でも見れました。
わたしにとっては何より、船長さんが操縦席に座らせてくれたこと、こんな貴重な体験ができるなんて本当に幸せでした!❤️
帰りのバスでは、イルカと泳げなかったので半額になるバウチャーをくれたり、ドローンで撮影した動画をくれたりと本当にスタッフさんの気配りが素敵でした。

We took a large bus from the designated hotel and arrived in about 30 minutes. After waiting for about 10 minutes, we entered the park. It was quite spacious with many thrilling attractions. We opted for lunch, which was a buffet, and the meat was very delicious. We also got to experience bodyboarding, which became a memorable moment. The park closed around 4 PM, and I wished we could have stayed a little longer.

The tour was well-organized, and having a Japanese guide made me feel very reassured. We arrived at the sandbar about an hour after low tide, so the water was knee-deep, but instead, we were able to borrow snorkeling gear on-site and practice snorkeling before the main event. After that, we boarded the boat and moved to the snorkeling spot (the reef) to enjoy the actual snorkeling, but the time went by so quickly that I wished we could have stayed longer. Some lucky people were able to swim with sea turtles at both the sandbar and the snorkeling spot. Since the bus ride back was cold, I recommend changing clothes in the restroom (there are no changing rooms).
きちんとしたツアーで、かつ日本人のガイドさんもいたので、とても安心感がありました。
サンドバーは干潮から一時間後に到着したため、膝下ほどの潮の高さでしたが、代わりにその場でシュノーケリング道具を借りて、本番の前にシュノーケリングの練習ができました。
その後、船に乗りシュノーケリングスポット(リーフ)に移動して、本番のシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、シュノーケリング時間があっという間で、もっといたかったです。
運が良い人は、サンドバーとシュノーケリングスポットと両方でウミガメと一緒に泳げたそうです。
帰りのバスが寒いので、トイレで着替えることをおすすめします(更衣室はありません)

The cost is a bit high, but it was a fun and thrilling experience that you can't have in Japan! The lockers are expensive, with not much difference in size between the large and small ones (the large one is $18). However, you can't ride the slides with your belongings, so I had no choice but to use them. It was helpful that the lockers allow for free in-and-out access.
However, not all attractions operate at the same time; they switch every 30 minutes with 2 to 3 attractions opening at once. As a result, people tend to crowd around the attractions that are currently open. If it’s time for the attraction switch, even if you were in line earlier, you may be told to go to another attraction, so be careful during the switch times.
Because of this, if you don’t time your rides well, you won’t be able to experience everything, but if you manage to time it right, you can have an amazing time. There are many downsides compared to pools and attractions in Japan, but even considering that, I recommend it for those who want to experience unknown thrills!
費用は割高ですが、日本では味わえないスリリングな体験ができて楽しかったです!
ロッカーは、大と小の大きさにあまり差がない上、高いです(大は18$)
しかし荷物があってはスライダーに乗れないので、仕方なく利用しました。ロッカーが出し入れ自由なのは助かりました。
ただ、アトラクションは全てが一気に稼働しているわけではなく、30分ごとに2~3個ずつ稼働するアトラクションが切り替わります。そのため、稼働しているアトラクションに一気に人が集中して混みます。
アトラクションの切り替え時間になってしまうと、それより前の時間に並んでいても、他のアトラクションに行くように言われてしまいますので、切り替え時間には要注意です。
そのため、タイミングよく乗らないと全部回れませんが、うまく回れば最高に遊べます。
日本のプールやアトラクションにはないマイナス点が多くありますが、それをふまえた上でも、未知のスリルを味わいたい人にはおすすめです!

I didn't know that winter whales come around the Big Island until I went there. I really wanted to see them, so I quickly signed up for a tour after arriving and participated with my family. I had two concerns: getting to the boarding area from the hotel and seasickness, but thanks to this tour, I managed to get through it safely. When traveling to an unfamiliar destination, even if you know the port's name, you can be troubled by not knowing the distance from the hotel or the means of transportation, but it was a great decision to have them pick us up at the hotel! Additionally, the boat was luxurious and hardly swayed, so I didn't experience the seasickness I was worried about. On top of that, I was able to see dolphins and whales, which was wonderful!

This is my second winter in Hawaii, and I have always wanted to go whale watching. After some deliberation, I chose a tour that included breakfast. We had our meal as soon as we boarded. I felt like I could have used more vegetables in the meal.
After eating, we waited on the deck for the whales to appear. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful! This was my first time seeing it. I was excited, holding my camera and gazing at the ocean.
When the captain announced, "I have good news," everyone hurried to the indicated direction… the boat tilted! But I kept looking at the surface of the water. I was expecting to see a dynamic adult whale, so I was a bit disappointed by the cute little whale's spout and tail, but we definitely saw it. I wanted to see more, but it was time to head back to the port. I know I can't expect to see a magnificent sight on a one-time cruise, so I would like to join another opportunity next time.
I opted for the pickup service, but I didn't really need it. They arrived very early, and we left our hotel right away, but we were made to wait a long time at the next hotel, and the air conditioning in the car was too cold. I thought it would have been better to take a taxi.
The tour was conducted entirely in English, but the crew was kind, and even though I only understood a few words, I still enjoyed it.
Please continue to plan fun tours!

Unfortunately, it was cloudy. The weather had been nice until the day before, but it started raining at night, and even after getting on the shuttle bus, the mountains ahead were covered in clouds and the roads were wet. Once on the boat, I felt a chill. However, during the sea turtle watching, I was able to see them up close multiple times, and I even encountered a family of manta rays, which is a rare sight. If only the weather had been nice, it would have been perfect... (The next day was clear.)

On the day of the trip, it was cloudy, so we didn't have the clear skies we hoped for at the sandbar, but considering the weather forecast predicted a "storm," we could say we were lucky.
We landed on the sandbar just after 11 AM (about an hour after low tide), and the water level was about knee-deep. After enjoying taking photos and playing water volleyball for about an hour, the water level rose to around mid-thigh when we returned to the boat. It's essential to check the tide levels in advance, as you can't land when it's close to high tide.
The BBQ hamburger for lunch was grilled on the boat, creating a great atmosphere and it tasted good.
During the post-lunch sea turtle watch, we spotted a few from the boat, but it was truly moving to see a large sea turtle swimming right below us during snorkeling. However, it was a bit cold.
The Japanese tour guide, Yukiko (I believe), was cheerful and very good at talking, and she was very kind, taking various photos of our family.
I highly recommend this tour.
当日は曇り空で、快晴のサンドバーとはいきませんでしたが、天気予報が「嵐」だったことからすれば、ラッキーと言えるでしょうか。
午前11時過ぎ(干潮時刻から約1時間後)にサンドバーに上陸しましたが、水かさはひざ下程度でした。小一時間ほど写真を撮ったり水上バレーボールを楽しんだ後、船に戻る際にはひざ上程度になりました。満潮に近いと上陸できないので、事前に潮位を調べておくことが不可欠です。
昼食のBBQハンバーガーは船上で肉を焼くので、雰囲気がよく味も良かったです。
食後のウミガメウォッチでは船上から数匹見つけましたが、その後のシュノーケルの際に大きなウミガメが真下を泳いでいて、とても感動的でした。でもちょっと寒かったです。
日本人添乗員のユキコさん(だったと思います)は明るくとても話し上手で、我々家族の写真も色々と撮ってくれるなど、とても親切でした。

It was beautiful as expected, but it felt like the sea was a bit dirtier compared to the past! The boats were newer and more comfortable than before.
やっぱり綺麗でした、昔に比べたら少し海が汚れた気がしました!
昔に比べて、船が新しくなってて快適でした。

On February 25, 2017, I went on an overseas trip with my wife for the first time in 30 years to go whale watching. I thought it would be lucky if we saw any whales, but to my surprise and amazement, humpback whales appeared one after another.
Actually, I had previously gone to see whales at Cape Shionomisaki on the Kii Peninsula in Japan, where I saw dolphins and pilot whales, but this was my first time seeing such large humpback whales. It was magnificent and truly moving.
The trick is to look out at the sea and spot the spouts; then you can see their backs, and finally, the tails. However, taking pictures with a mobile phone is quite challenging. I ended up purchasing a photo from a professional photographer on board for $20!
I highly recommend this experience for nature lovers.

30年ぶりの 家内との海外旅行 ホエールウォッチングに行ってきました.
見れたら ラッキーぐらいにおもっていたら
次々 ザトウクジラは あらわれて 驚きと 感動に つつまれました.
実は 以前日本の 紀伊半島 潮岬で 鯨を見に行きましたが イルカとゴンドウは見れましたが
今回のように 大きなザトウクジラは初めて.壮大で 感動しました.
コツは 海を眺めて 潮吹きをみつけること そのあと背中が見えて 最後に 尾が見れます.
でも 携帯で 撮るのは かなりハードルがたかいです.
乗船していた プロカメラマンの写真を $20で購入しました!
自然の好きな方には とっても おすすめです.

Since I was going during whale season, I made a last-minute reservation on a day when I had free time. I was worried because I heard that people who went two days prior didn't see any whales, but we saw plenty! When a whale appeared, they made it easy to understand by indicating the direction using the hands of a clock. We got to see whales swimming and jumping energetically, and I'm really glad I made the reservation. During the trip, we enjoyed views of Oahu from the sea, experiencing scenery that we usually can't see. We could depart leisurely in the morning, and even without breakfast included, we had plenty of fun on the water. I definitely want to participate again next year.
せっかくクジラの時期に行くのだからと予定が空いている日に直前の予約を入れました。
2日前にホエールウォッチングに参加した人は、見られなかったと聞いていたので、心配していましたが、たくさん見られました!
クジラが現れると分かりやすく、時計の針に例えて方角を教えてくれました。
泳いでいるクジラも、元気に跳ぶクジラも見れ、本当に予約してよかったと思います。
移動中は海からオアフを眺められ、普段見ることのできない風景を楽しみました。
朝はゆっくり出発できますし、海の上を楽しむために、朝食は付けなくても十分楽しめます。
来年もぜひ参加したいです。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe many whales this time. Please do come visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

In February, I participated in whale watching in Hawaii. I was able to see the whales' spouts and bodies several times! The views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the boat, as well as the cruising experience, were also enjoyable.

We participated as a couple ^_^
We were overwhelmed by the numerous slides we had never seen before (´-`)
This time, we were picked up from the nearest hotel, but the distance to the pool was quite long, which left an impression on us. It took about 40 minutes.
We stayed from 11 AM to 3 PM, which was a short time, and the slides in the pool had time restrictions, so we were worried about whether we could ride all of them within that time. However, there were not many people in the pool, and we were satisfied that we could ride all the slides.
Especially, the slide called the FlowRider allowed us to experience a surfing-like sensation, which was a distinctly different kind of fun compared to the other slides.
Also, when you think of pools in Hawaii, there's a strong image of many foreigners, and I was somewhat looking forward to seeing white people in bikinis, but surprisingly, there were quite a few Japanese people as well. In the end, I was just chasing after my girlfriend in her bikini (laughs). In that sense, I definitely recommend it for couples (laughs).
All in all, Wet 'n' Wild had great facilities in the pool, and we had a lot of fun!!
カップルで参加しました^_^
見たこともないスライダーの数々に圧倒されましたよ(´-`)
今回は最寄りのホテルから送ってもらったのですがプールまでの距離が長かったのが印象的でした。だいたい40分くらいですかね。
私たちは11-15時と滞在時間が短く且つプール内のスライダーが時間によって制限されており、時間内に全て乗れるか不安でしたがプール自体の人も少なく全部のスライダーに乗れて満足しました。
特にフローライダーと呼ばれるスライダーはサーフィンのような感覚で波に乗れることができその他のスライダーと比べ一際違った楽しみ方ができました。
またハワイのプールと言えば外人が多いというイメージが強く若干白人のビキニ姿等も楽しみにしていたのですが意外と日本人も多く結局僕は彼女のビキニ姿ばかり追いかけていました(笑)
そういう意味ではカップルで行く方には是非オススメです(笑)
なんだかんだ言ってプール内の施設も充実してて楽
しかったウェットアンドワイルドです!!
