I participated in whale watching with Star of Honolulu. The large vessel provided excellent stability. The whales did not breach as much as shown in the promotional videos, and I regret having set my expectations too high. It's difficult to meet expectations when dealing with nature.

大きい船体で安定感抜群でした。
クジラの姿は資料映像ほど跳ね上がることがなく、期待しすぎていたと反省です。自然相手ではなかなか期待通りにはいかないものです。

Perfectly organised day, from communication prior to the day to everyone involved in sny part of the tour.
The guide was great, hugely knowledgeable and interesting.
The helicopter trip was perhaps the most incredible thing I have ever done. The ground crew were superb and the pilot made it the best trip ever. After waiting 30 years to do this tour it didn't disappoint.
Could not recommend it highly enough.
This is a very special Adventure and glad we were able to show you the beauty of Kauai. Now you know why they call it the Garden Isle

I could clearly see the back of a whale. The weather was nice, and the largest boat in Hawaii was comfortable with little rocking. I recommend bringing a jacket as the air conditioning is quite strong.

I only saw the whales twice, and they were quite far away. I was hoping to see them up closer, so I was a bit disappointed. But since it's a natural occurrence, it can't be helped. However, the view of Waikiki from the sea was quite impressive, and I was satisfied.
くじらは、2回、遠くに見えた程度でした。もっと、近くで見えるかと思っていたので、すこし残念でした。自然のものなので、しょうがないですね。でも、海からのワイキキの景観は、なかなかのもので、満足しました。

I was set on a tour that stopped at just the Sandbar, my mom insisted we do a tour that went to 2 locations... She was right! The sandbar is awesome and I encourage people to get out and walk around while you're there, play volleyball (if you want) or just enjoy being on land while under about 2 feet of water! Its wild! A Puffer Fish greeted us! She was much bigger than what I thought puffer fish were. We had burgers and drinks and were off to our second location ... the reef!! On our way we saw a bunch of sea turtles! They were HUGE! Some swam right up close to the boat! It was incredible. It was after a mild storm so the water wasn't 100% clear but still fairly clear. There were tons of colorful fish swimming all around us. I took a few mins to swim around the whole reef! Which every time I popped my head up and saw I was further away from the boat was a little scary and exciting! It was such a fantastic adventure day! My mom loved it, my kids were a little afraid at first at the reef but came to love it too! The crew... let me not forget about the crew! They are absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly,... when my daughter started to cry (9 years old) they knew her name and kept encouraging her! It was the sweetest! My son thought the main guide/lifeguard was the coolest and just wanted to swim where ever he swam (7 years old). The captain on our boat that day was a lady and also super friendly! Highly recommend to all ages and all skill levels! (I had my cell phone with a water protected case - i highly recommend. I purchased mine before the trip from REI, they sold similar ones in the ABC stores in Hawaii.)

The morning whale watching cruise was excellent! The weather was perfect and the crew were friendly and informative. Before taking off we learned a few facts about whales and were able to purchase a snack from the snack bar. The cruise itself was magnificent and we saw several whales. It was such a a delight! I'd also like to mention that the restrooms on board the boat were extremely clean (When on a tour this isn't something you always encounter). My friend and I had a splendid time. We would not hesitate to take this cruise again. The one thing everyone should be aware of though is the parking fee. The boat does not valid and parking in the adjacent lot was a bit pricey.

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles. Since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, so I actually feel grateful for the experience of seeing the less common animals. Oh, but maybe that's because I was able to see dolphins twice in the past, in Hawaii and Guam.
イルカを観る事ができませんでしたが、クジラや亀を観る事ができました。
野生動物である限り絶対はないので、イルカを見られないという事も

We participated in a plan with transportation for a total of four people, including a 3-year-old and a 0-year-old. The hotel we stayed at was not the designated pickup location, but a nearby hotel was specified for the pickup based on our application. We brought a stroller of the buggy type, and it was transported and used without any issues.
We were lucky to see whales multiple times. On the deck, we enjoyed the breeze, and even from the indoor area with tables and chairs, we could sit and watch the whales, allowing us to see them from either environment. The 3-year-old was entertained throughout the experience.
The explanations and announcements (such as the direction of the whales) were in English. Although the kids did not get seasick, I thought it would have been nice to have the option for my husband to take motion sickness medication since he experienced seasickness.
3歳、0歳を連れた計4人で送迎付きのプランで参加をしました。
私たちの宿泊したホテルは送迎ピックアップの場所ではなかったのですが、申し込み内容と合わせてピックアップ場所(最寄りのホテル)が指定されました。バギータイプのベビーカーを持参しましたが、問題なく運搬し利用できました。
私たちは運が良くクジラを何度も見ることができました。デッキ上は風を感じながら楽しめ、テーブル椅子がある室内からでも座りながらクジラが見れたりと、環境に合わせてどちらからでもクジラが見れます。3歳の子も最後まで飽きずに楽しんでいました。
説明やアナウンス(クジラのいる方向など)は英語です。
子供達は船酔いしなかったものの、旦那が船酔いをしていたため、酔い止めを飲む選択もあったら良かったかなと思いました。
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 ship. We have ginger pills available on board to help with seasickness. Please do let us know next time. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

I participated in whale watching. I was able to spot a whale from a distance. I wanted to see it a bit closer, but the wind was pleasant, and I enjoyed the cruise. It was quite cold, so a long-sleeved jacket is essential. I hesitated about the pickup service being more expensive than meeting on-site, but I think if I had gone to the meeting point, there would have been so many boats that I wouldn't have known where to go. I'm glad I chose the pickup service, as it allowed me to participate with peace of mind.

We had a family of eight on this tour and all enjoyed themselves.
The bus arrived at our pickup point on time. The driver/host was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor as well as other local sites. The only slight drawback was the sound system on the bus was acting up and occasionally produced feedback (no the fault of the driver/host). She dealt with it as best she could.
We arrived at all the tour points of interest on time and had plenty of time to view each. Given the clear instructions from the driver/host, we knew exactly when to be where.
The lunch was good and the location in the aviation museum was enjoyable.
We finally were returned to the pickup point, also on time.
All-in-all a very enjoyable and interesting day. I highly recommend it.

I participated in the afternoon tour at the beginning of January. I was torn between other tours, but I decided on this one because it was smaller and I thought we might get a bit closer to the whales. The weather was clear, but I had seen reviews mentioning that some people didn’t see any whales, so I tried not to get my hopes up too much.
We set out about 15 minutes offshore on a small cruise ship and then waited in the surrounding area to see the whales. Since we weren’t too far from the island, where the town was visible, I wondered how it would go, but within about 10 minutes, there were cheers, and we caught a glimpse of a whale's head in the distance! Over the course of a little more than an hour, we saw the whale's head and tail flukes about 6-7 times, and at one point, a whale appeared right in front of us! There weren’t too many participants, so it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy it thoroughly. The staff was kind, and it was fun for everyone to search for the whales together!
Since it’s a small boat, I think it’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication as a precaution before participating. We drifted at sea for over an hour, and once you get seasick, it becomes difficult to enjoy watching the whales.
Also, depending on where you sit, there’s a possibility of getting splashed and wet, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting wet.
1月頭に午後帯で参加しました。
他のツアーもあり、迷いましたが、小さめでクジラにちょっとでも近づけるかも?と思ってこちらを申し込み。
天気は晴れでしたが、口コミで観れなかったという声もあったので、あまり期待しすぎずに。
小型のクルーズ船で15分ほど沖に出て、あとはその周辺でクジラが見えるのを待ちます。島の街並みが見えるほど島からもあまり離れていない場所だったので、どうかなと思いましたが、ものの10分ほどで、歓声が上がり、少し遠くにクジラの頭がちょこっと見れました!
それからも1時間ちょっとで6-7回はクジラの頭と尾ひれが見れ、すぐ目の前に現れたときも!参加人数もそこまで多くないので、人だかりで見えないということもなく、しっかり楽しめました。
スタッフの方も優しく、みんなでクジラを探すのも楽しかったです!
小型船ですので、酔い止めは予防も兼ねて飲んでから参加された方がいいと思います。1時間以上海を漂うので、一度酔ってしまうとクジラを見るどころではなくなってしまいます。
また、座る位置にもよりますが、水しぶきで服が濡れる可能性があるので、濡れても良い服装で参加されることをおすすめします。

Although the weather was bad, the staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, making my time very enjoyable. Additionally, I was able to see wild sea turtles at an incredibly close distance. I think it's a good idea to bring warm clothing for winter in Hawaii, as it can get quite chilly. I did land on the sandbar, but it was too cold for snorkeling, so I waited inside the boat. A few participants seemed to enjoy snorkeling alongside the sea turtles, and I would like to try again in Hawaii during the summer.
悪天候でしたがスタッフの方々が気さくに話しかけていただき、非常に楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。
また、野生のウミガメもこんなに近くで見ることはというような距離でした。
冬のハワイは、結構寒く防寒着は持って行った方が良いと思います。サンドバーには降り立ちましたが、シュノーケルは寒くて船内待機していました。参加された方の数名は、ウミガメと並んでシュノーケルを楽しめたようで、次は夏のハワイで再挑戦したいと思いました。

The day before the experience, it was raining heavily, so I was worried about the weather, but those worries were unnecessary as it turned out to be a clear day. The waves were not high, and I was able to participate with a calm mind. However, on the day we participated, no whales appeared... I was disappointed since we joined to see whales, but it was my first time cruising on a boat in Hawaii, and as I was taking in the scenery, I realized that we were approaching the goal before I knew it! After the experience, tickets for a return trip on the boat were distributed! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.
体験前日、大雨が降っていたため、天候の心配をしておりましたが、そんな心配は無用で快晴でした。波も高くなく、落ち着いた気持ちで参加することができました。ですが、私たちが参加した日は、クジラが現れず…
クジラを見に参加したので残念でしたが、ハワイで船に乗ってクルーズする経験が初めてで、景色をじっくりと見ていたら、いつのまにかゴールが近づいていました!

I was looking forward to participating since they were confident about whale watching. They mentioned that if we didn't see any whales, we would receive a free pass for the next time. The explanations were easy to understand, and they said that humpback whales come up to breathe every 45 minutes. We saw over 30 whales swimming around, but they were hard to spot. Just when I was about to give up, suddenly they appeared! The first one was a baby, and the second was an adult whale, posing beautifully with Diamond Head in the background! It was an incredibly satisfying tour. It might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication on hand.

The bus was supposed to arrive at 7:35, but it was about 10 minutes late. The Japanese people around me were quite anxious about the time. After confirming names, we received stickers to wear during the tour and set off. It took about 15 minutes to reach where the boat was docked. We boarded a large boat and waited for all the other tour participants to get on (we waited for about 30 minutes).
Both on the boat and in the bus, the air conditioning was extremely strong, making it quite cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket. It was warm when the sun was out, but since I tend to get cold easily, wearing Uniqlo's Ultra Light Down was just right for me. The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking.
There are bagels and drinks available for purchase on the boat, so you can have breakfast there, but it's more expensive compared to the ABC store (the drinks were about $4, if I remember correctly).
As for the whales, they surfaced a few times, but whether due to regulations or the size of the boat, we didn't get very close and mostly viewed them from a distance. During the ride, there were announcements in English (no Japanese) explaining about the marine life in Hawaii and the whales. Although we could only see the whales from afar, we were still able to enjoy the beautiful sea and Diamond Head, so I think it was a good value for the experience!

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but we were able to enjoy detailed explanations on board. They kindly answered our questions as well.
I am a wheelchair user, but I had no problems using the facilities. There is also a wheelchair-accessible restroom. Please be careful as it can be easy to get seasick when boarding the boat in a wheelchair. You can also purchase drinks and light snacks on board. Since it's an early morning trip, it might be a good idea to eat on the boat. In particular, the orange juice was delicious.
クジラは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、
船内で詳しい話を聞くことができ充分楽しめました。質問にも優しく答えてくれます。
車いすユーザーですが、全く問題なく利用できました。トイレも車いすようトイレがあります。車いすで船に乗ると酔いやすいので気をつけてください。
船内ではドリンクや軽食も購入できました。朝が早いので船内で食べるのも良いかもしれません。とくに、オレンジジュースはおいしかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. While it was unfortunate that we didn't see any whales, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the detailed information provided by our naturalist on board. We hope to witness a whale jump during your next visit. Please come again; our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. On the boat, we were able to enjoy drinks and light snacks. It's early in the morning, but it might be nice to have breakfast on the boat.

朝早いですが、船の中で朝食をすましてしまうのもいいかもしれません。

On 11/09/2023 I went on this Pearl Harbor tour, and had a full day of education. This was my first time at Pearl Harbor, and I'm so glad I went with Polynesian Adventure Tours. They were on time for pick up, the bus was so comfortable, and the guide clearly enjoyed his job with how much information he shared on Hawaii.
When we arrived to Pearl Harbor we were given a map, that was so helpful! Each section of PH on the map was numbered, that kept me on track of the schedule of the day. Without this map I would have been so lost!
Each museum we were given plenty of time to read all the information, if you are a quick reader you may feel like it's too much time, but I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. My favorite was the submarine!!
Lunch was so yummy, and was a very generous proportion. Was served in the middle of tour which was perfect for giving me energy I needed for the rest of the day. Highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, because there is a lot of walking throughout the day.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a guided tour, and who isn't renting a car while on island.

For the most party, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Paradise Cove luau. The best part was the entertainment. We loved the expression of culture and the dancing performances. Our transportation from the hotel to the venue and back was smooth and executed like clockwork. The venue itself was wonderful tool. The beach and the sunset were important part of the whole experience. Our only disappointment was the food. It just wasn't the best. Serving 4 types of protein for dinner felt like trying to please everyone at the expense of quality. The steamed frozen vegetables were no good, neither was the plain white rice. The salad, which also had 3 different pastas (one better tasting would have been enough), was ok.

I was surprised to see the bus driver, who departed from the hotel, using a mobile phone while driving on the highway. I was a bit anxious and fastened my seatbelt, praying that no accident would occur. Since the driver is a local, I hope they will implement measures such as having another tour guide accompany him.
ホテルから出発したバスの運転手が高速道路で携帯を操作しながら運転していたのにはビックリしました。ちょっとさすがに焦ってシートベルトを締めて
事故が起こらないことを祈りました。運転手は現地の人なのでもう一人添乗員を置くなど対策してもらいたいです。
