Since it was a living creature, it depended on luck, but from a distance, I was able to see the spouting and the tail multiple times. I saw the body jump once and the tail slap once, which drew cheers from those on board.
I had heard that there were no explanations in Japanese, but this time there was a Japanese staff member on the boat who provided a simple explanation in Japanese following the English commentary. I was quite torn between this plan and another boat's plan, but I think choosing the Navatek was definitely the right decision. This boat seems to maneuver well, and it turns the bow towards the direction where the whales are spotted, allowing everyone on the deck at the front to see the same moment almost simultaneously.
Also, the sunlit surface of the sea was quite dazzling, so I thought it was essential to position ourselves with the sun behind us to see the whales.
Another boat was nearby, and it actually seemed closer to the whales, but given the direction of the sun, I think it would have been quite blinding. I believe it would have been challenging to keep focusing in that direction. Additionally, in a situation where we had to rush to the deck side to see the whales, it seemed difficult for all family members to witness the same sight. So, even though it was a bit pricey, I really felt it was worth it to choose the Navatek. However, I thought the pickup fee was a bit high. Since it wasn't far from Waikiki, I think it would have been fine to take a taxi if we had participated with multiple people.
生き物相手なので運しだいということでしたが、遠目ですが潮吹きや尻尾は何度も見れたし
体のジャンプが1回、尻尾を打ち付けるのが1回見られて船内から歓声があがっていました。
口コミで日本語での説明がないということでしたが、今回は日本人のスタッフが同船していて
英語の解説に続き日本語でも簡単な説明をしてくれていました。
もう一つの船のプランとかなり迷ったのですが、ナバテック号にして大正解だと思いました。
こちらの船は小回りが利くらしく、くじらが見えた方向に船首を向けてくれるので
デッキのある前方で目をこらしている客は全員ほぼ同じ瞬間を見られます。
また日のあたる海面はかなりまぶしいので、太陽を後ろにした位置どりをしてくれるのも
クジラを見る必須条件だと思いました。
もう一つの船も近くにいて、実際にはそちらの船の方がクジラから近かったように見えましたが
太陽の向きだったのでかなりまぶしかったんじゃないかと思います。
そちらの方向に目をこらし続けるのは大変だったと思います。
またクジラが見えるデッキ側へ急いで移動しなくてはならない状況では
同行した家族全員が同じ光景を見るのは難しかったように思いましたので
少し高かったけれどナバテック号にして本当によかったと思います。
ただ送迎料金が少し高いかなと思います。
ワイキキから距離は全然なかったので、複数人での参加だったら
タクシーで行っても問題なかったかなと思います。

I bought a waterproof camera for snorkeling, but the visibility was lower than I expected, so I couldn't take nice photos (´・ω・`). Even with just a morning plan, we enjoyed it a lot!

The weather wasn't great, but overall it was just okay. If you want to go snorkeling, it's much better to go to Hanauma Bay on your own; you'll see way more fish and can swim at your own pace. The BBQ was just an overly large hamburger meal. The staff was pleasant, though.
天気に恵まれなかったのもありますが、全体的に微妙。

It was my first time in Hawaii. I think Waikiki Beach generally gives a strong impression of Hawaii's ocean, but Kailua Beach was amazing! Our hotel didn't have a shuttle, so we went to a nearby hotel and got a ride from there. It was only a two-minute walk to that hotel. Since the hotels are clustered together, it's not a problem if your hotel doesn't have a shuttle! We were able to depart almost on time. It took about 40 minutes to get to Kailua Beach. It was about a five-minute walk from the shop to Kailua Beach. The changing rooms and lockers were secure, and the restrooms were clean. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, and everyone was friendly. You can rent snorkeling gear and bodyboards. By around 9:40, we were already at Kailua Beach and enjoyed our time there. Since it was early in the morning, there weren't many people, and there were a lot of locals, so we could interact with them. For lunch, we had pizza. It was right next to the shop, and we were very satisfied with the drink and large pizza. After lunch, we rented a bicycle for $10 at the shop and went shopping at Whole Foods and Kailua's downtown, and we also visited Lanikai Beach. The staff at the shop gave us a map and explained how to get around in detail. You can reach anywhere in about 15 minutes by bike!! With about five hours of free time, you can do quite a lot! Even if you don't know anything, there are many Japanese people, and the staff at the shop will teach you various things. I felt very secure! It was a lot of fun, and I was able to relax and shop, so I was very satisfied.
初めてのハワイでした。やはりワイキキビーチは一般的にハワイの海っていう印象が強いと思いますがカイルアビーチ最高でした!私達が泊まったホテルには送迎がなかったので近くのホテルまで行き車に乗せて頂きました。そのホテルまでも徒歩2分圏内。ホテル密集してるので自分が泊まるホテルに送迎がなくても余裕ですよ!ほぼ時間通りに出発できました。40分くらいかけてカイルアビーチに行きました。ショップからカイルアビーチまでは徒歩5分くらい。更衣室もロッカーも安心だしトイレも普通に綺麗。スタッフの方も日本語できる人いるしみんな気さくな方でした。シュノーケルとかボディボードは借りれます。9:40くらいにはもうカイルアビーチに行きゆっくりすごしました。朝早かったのであまり人はいなくて地元の方も多くその方たちと交流もできました。ランチはピザにしました。ショップのすぐ隣だし、ドリンクと大きいピザ付きで大満足。ランチの後、ショップで自転車を1台10ドルで借りてフォールフーズとかカイルアのダウンタウン行って買い物したり、ルニカイビーチにも行きました。地図もショップの方がくれて、行き方も丁寧に教えてくれます。自転車で15分くらいでどこでもいけますよ!!5時間くらい自由時間なので結構いろんなことができます!全然なにも知らなくても日本人多いしショップの方も色々教えてくれるし。とても安心できました!とても楽しくてゆっくりもできてお買い物もでき大満足です。

I was able to see about 10 whales! It was amazing!
Since they weren't that close, I wish I had brought binoculars.
The ocean and sky were beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly.
I opted for the lunch option, but I wanted to see the whales and stayed on the deck the whole time, plus I had a bit of seasickness, so I couldn't eat at all. Personally, I think it was fine not to have lunch included.
I had a great time!

I participated in the early morning plan with a friend. The guide was a local Japanese woman who was lively and fun. However, the water was cold, and I was surprised as soon as I got in. The sandbar was about knee-deep at its shallowest point. The sea had a beautiful gradient of blue! When I got out of the water, I was shivering from the cold (laughs), although my friend and the others around didn't seem to be as affected. On the boat, the foreign male staff and the female guide took photos and were very considerate, which made me happy. The light snack was something like a ham and cheese sandwich. It was cold, so I wished I could have something warm, but it couldn't be helped. Next time, I want to go during a warmer season at low tide!
友人と2人で早朝プランに参加しました。
ガイドさんは現地の日本人の女性でノリが良く楽しかったです。
ただ水は冷たかったです。入った瞬間びっくりでした。サンドバーは一番浅いところで膝下くらいだったと思います。海はキレイな青のグラデーションでした!
海から上がったら私は寒すぎて震えていました(笑)友人や周りの方はそこまでではなさそうでしたが…。
船の中では外人の男性スタッフや女性ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれたり色々気遣ってくれて嬉しかったです。
軽食はハムチーズサンドのようなものでした。寒かったので温かいものが食べたかったですが仕方がないですね。

I chose this tour because of the great reviews! This was my first time in Hawaii, and I participated to create memories the day after my wedding! The reservation process was smooth, as I made the booking from my smartphone in Japan and received quick replies and guidance! On the day of the tour, I was picked up at 8:55 at a hotel next to my accommodation, and the bus arrived at 9:05, calling out names! The bus was already quite full, with guests from places other than Japan. The bus drives pretty fast, so if you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s a good idea to have some medication!
We arrived at a shop just before Kailua Beach in about 30 minutes from Waikiki. There, a cheerful Japanese guide explained the tour and how to use the shops in detail, dividing us into groups. They were very efficient, which was great! After that, we rented bicycles for an additional $10 each and cycled to the town of Kailua! Walking can take quite a while, and you might not have enough time to go to the beach, so I recommend biking!
Once we arrived in Kailua, we first ordered takeout at Boots & Kimo's, gave our names, and received a receipt. Then we went shopping at the nearby Whole Foods Market! We filled up on salad bar items and returned to Boots & Kimo's just in time to pick up our order. After that, we biked back to the beach, where we used the lunch tickets we received earlier to order plate lunches and pizza from the shop, and rented bodyboards and beach mats to head to Kailua Beach!
We walked to Kailua Beach from the shop. There was shade, so we spread out our mats for lunch! After enjoying some swimming, when we started to get bored, we returned to the shop, borrowed snorkels, and biked to Lanikai Beach! When we dove in, we were amazed to see fish near the rocks!
On the way back, I fell into a deep sleep on the bus. We arrived at the hotel by 3 PM, and then I went shopping in Waikiki, making for a fulfilling day! The rental and explanations were all in Japanese, so it was a very reassuring tour! I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to go to Kailua!
口コミがよかったので、こちらのツアーを選びました!今回のハワイは初めてで、挙式をした次の日に思い出づくりとして、参加させていただきました!予約は、日本からスマホでの申し込みで、すぐに返信が来たり、案内が来たりとスムーズな対応でした!当日は、8:55に宿泊ホテル隣のホテルにてピックアップで、バスは9:05に到着して名前を呼んでくれました!バスには既沢山の人が乗っており、日本以外のお客さんもいました。バスは結構、飛ばすので酔いやすい方は酔い止めがあるといいです!ワイキキから、30分くらいでカイルアビーチ手前のショップに到着。そこから、日本人の明るい方がひたすらツアーや、ショップの使い方などツアーごとに別れて、丁寧に説明してくれました。テキパキとされていて良かったです!その後、私たちは自転車をこちらでプラス10ドルずつ払いレンタルして、カイルアの街までサイクリング!徒歩だと、意外と距離がありビーチ行く時間が無くなるので自転車がオススメです!カイルアの街に到着して、まずブーツ&キモズにてテイクアウトを注文して、名前を伝えレシートを貰い、その後近くにあるホールフーズマーケットでお買い物!サラダバーなど詰め込んで、またブーツ&キモズに戻ると丁度出来上がっており、受け取って終了。また自転車でビーチに戻って、最初に配られたランチチケットでショップにある、プレートランチとピザを注文して、ボディボードとビーチマットを借りいざカイルアビーチへ!
カイルアビーチへは、ショップから徒歩で移動。木陰があり、そこへマットを広げてランチタイム!その後は、海水浴を楽しんで飽きてきた頃にまた、ショップへ戻り、スノーケルを借りて自転車でラニカイビーチへ!すぐそこを潜ると岩に魚がいて、感動しました!
帰りはバスの中で爆睡。
15時にはホテルに到着したので、それからまたワイキキでショッピングしたりと、充実した1日になりました!
レンタルも、説明も全て日本語なのでとても安心できるツアーです!カイルアへ行きたい方はオススメです!

I was hoping to see whales up close, but it felt like I was viewing them from a distance. I was able to see the spouts and tails several times, but I couldn't see the body or size of the whales; they were too far away to see clearly, which was different from what I expected. However, the view from the boat and the comfort inside the ship made it enjoyable, so I had a good time overall. (*^-^*)

The sandbar needs no introduction. It was just too beautiful! We were lucky to see sea turtles, and we enjoyed snorkeling as well. Above all, the burgers made by the captain were exquisite! The seasoning was perfect, and I want to go back just to have another burger.
If you're planning to get off at the sandbar to take photos, it's best to have waterproof gear (like covers or underwater-friendly items) to avoid any worries! Also, if you want to change clothes on the way back, you can do so in the boat's restroom, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes. For those who don’t bring a change, a bath towel borrowed from a hotel is essential (you can use it to sit on the bus seats).
The staff are also entertaining, so I highly recommend it.

あとは、サンドバーに降りて写真などを撮るのであれば
防水対策(カバーや水中対応の物)した物があれば心配無し!
また、服装は帰りに着替えたい人は船のトイレでも着替え可能ですので
持参をお勧めします。着替えを持って行かない方は

On the way to our snuba location we were able to see a few whales breech the surface. The crew on the boat were great and the lunch was delicious. They offered Pork, Chicken sandwiches, fresh fruit and chips. It was rough seas and the boat ride was smooth sailing. Overall rating is 4.5 stars. Whish we could see more whales and see dolphins.

It was a beautiful sandbar. With my husband's guidance, I practiced snorkeling at about knee-deep water, and it was perfect. I was able to see the fish and coral beautifully, and I’m satisfied that I mastered snorkeling. Unfortunately, it became cloudy in the afternoon, and the sea looked dark and chilly. I just wished for the sun to come out. My husband was a bit disappointed because he thought the BBQ would have ribs to bite into. I thought the burger was delicious.

The sandbar appears on the surface due to the tides, and it seems that it can only be accessed at night on the day of the full moon. The sea was beautiful, and I walked as far as I could while taking photos. On the way to the snorkeling point, I saw many sea turtles and made a wish. After entering the water for snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle in a coral nook! We locked eyes and swam together. I was told not to touch them, so I didn't, but the sea turtle swam so close that I could almost reach out! It was truly moving! This was my first experience like this. Just thinking about it brings back such a happy feeling.
サンドバーが表層に現れるのは月の満ち引きとかで当日なら夜でないとダメらしかったけど、海はきれいで、どこまでも歩いていけて写真をとりました。シュノーケルのポイントにいくまでに沢山の海亀を見て、願い事をしました。シュノーケルで海に入ってしばらくしたら珊瑚の窪みに海亀が!目が合い、見つめあって海亀と一緒に泳ぎました。触ったらダメと言われてたので触らなかったけど、本当に近く 触れるところを海亀が泳いで!感動!!こんな体験は始めてです。思い出すと幸せな気分がよみがえります。

During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see a turtle that was over a meter long up close! The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend this reasonably priced tour!
事前に日本でネットでオプショナルツアーについてリサーチしました!
やはりメジャーなveltraのツアーにして正解でした!
日本人のスタッフもいて、日本人も困ることなく十分に楽しめると思います!
ランチのBBQハンバーガーも美味かったですよ!
シュノーケリングでは運良く1メートル以上あるカメを間近に見ることができました!サンドバーはめちゃくちゃきれいで、リーズナブルなツアーでオススメします!

I had been curious about this place for a while, and I was finally able to visit it this time. After shopping at Ala Moana Center, I walked to the hotel. The seat I was shown to was by the window, and the weather was nice, so I could see the yacht harbor beautifully. The sunset time was just like a postcard. The meal had a wide variety, including sushi and roast beef. The table staff were also very kind, which was great. I noticed many locals were coming in, so I thought it must be a popular restaurant.
前から気になっていて今回初めて行くことができました。アラモアナセンターで買い物した後、歩いてホテルに向かいました。案内された席は窓際でお天気もよかったのでヨットハーバーがきれいに見られました。サンセットの時間帯はまさに絵葉書みたい^^食事も種類が多くお寿司やローストビーフなどいろいろありました。テーブル担当の方もとても親切でよかったです。地元の方もたくさん来ていたので人気があるレストランなんだなぁ~と思いました。

This was the second time we did this dinner Cruise but this time we took our family with us. We were not disappointed. The care with the service and entertainment was excellent. We would gladly recommend this everyone. The only problem was that my wife does not eat crab but made do with what was available to eat.

We went on the afternoon cruise on Valentine's Day 2016 that was suppose to leave at 3 p.m. We ended up leaving about 15 minutes late because we had to wait for a van coming from Waikiki with more riders and they were late. We did see whales about 2 miles off the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel. The crew was very friendly and we enjoyed the open bar. It was like a whale watching party on someone's private boat! We had so much fun, that we booked the 5:30 p.m. boat cruise that very same day! Again, the only disappointment was that the boat was suppose to depart at 5:30 p.m., but this time it did not depart until 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes later!) because again, we were waiting on a van that had gone to hotels in Waikiki to pick up more riders and they were late due to traffic. Our boat cruise was cut short by 45 minutes and we only stayed out on the ocean until 7 p.m. so we felt cheated out of ocean time. Again, the crew was friendly but when I pay to spend time on the ocean, I expect and want to spend the entire one and a half hours on the ocean. In the future, I would suggest to the boat company, not to wait for a late van of riders and penalize those who were on time. Or, make sure that your riders get their full time on the ocean by staying out longer if you depart late.

I participated with the intention of visiting the sandbar, but it seems that landing on the beach is only possible at limited times. That was a bit disappointing, but I was happy to see many sea turtles while snorkeling. The hamburger was also delicious.
サンドバー目当てで参加しましたが、砂浜に上陸できるのは、限られた時だけなのですね。
そこは少し残念でしたが、ウミガメがたくさん見られて、シュノーケリングしながらも見られて嬉しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
