I participated on March 9. While I didn't see any spectacular jumps from the whales, I was able to catch glimpses of their backs and tails. I originally joined with the mindset of "It would be nice to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the ocean while also seeing some whales," so I was satisfied to see the beautiful scenery from offshore and get a close look at the whales. It was also great to see Diamond Head from a direction I had never seen before.
I chose a plan without meals, but since the boarding time wasn't very long, it felt like a waste to spend time eating, so I think it was a good choice. The price with transportation included is very reasonable, and I was glad to make good use of my morning. I recommend bringing binoculars.
3月9日に参加しました。
クジラそのものは豪快なジャンプが見られたわけではなく、背中や尻尾をみることができたくらいではあったのですが、元々「船に乗って沖からワイキキを眺め、ついでにクジラも見られるといいな」というくらいの気持ちで参加したので、沖合からの素敵な景色も見られてクジラも近くで見ることができて満足でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドも見た事のない方向から見ることができてよかったです。
食事なしのプランを選びましたが、乗船時間があまり長くはなく食事をしている時間はもったいないような気がしますので、これでよかったのではないかと思います。
送迎付きでこのお値段はとてもお得ですし、午前中の時間を有意義に使えたので参加してよかったです。
双眼鏡を持って行くことをお勧めします。

I booked a whale watching tour on the last day of March. The boat itself seemed to have little rocking, and it looked like those participating in wheelchairs were comfortable. There were plenty of observation spots on the deck, and the weather was nice, so I had high hopes, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales. The guide even came to let us know that we could try again that afternoon or on another date, but I had to decline this time due to scheduling constraints. I hope to try again someday.
3月の最終日にホエールウォッチングを申し込みました。
船自体は揺れも少なかったように思います。車椅子で参加されている方も快適にされているように見えました。
デッキでの観察場所も十分ありお天気も良かったので期待しましたが、残念ながらクジラには出会えませんでした。
ガイドの方がわざわざ同日午後や別日程で再チャレンジできることも伝えに来て下さったのですが、今回は日程に余裕がなく断念しました。いつか再チャレンジしてみたいと思います。

The deluxe package is fantastic. It's pricey but well worth the investment. We had three children with us and the seating was stage side. A great view for the children. The activities were great for our children and the Lava flows were great sipping while they were having fun. The meal was served to us by waitresses and the show was wonderful. We have been to the Polynesian cultural center for their deluxe luau and show and these two luaus were very comparable. Food selection was wider@ the cultural center but the shows were phenomenal. The seating was front row but set back further from stage@ the cultural center but still was entertaining. The kids really enjoyed the fire dance and to see it up close was a treat for all of us. Overall this is a great choice for a luau and the food was good.

I participated with my sixth-grade daughter at the end of March. The staff were fun and really nice, and the lunch they prepared on the boat was delicious. Yukiko took the best family photos for us.
Even though it was my first time snorkeling, thanks to the life jacket and fins, I was able to enjoy it despite not being a strong swimmer. Swimming with the fish and sea turtles was amazing.
From the boat, we were also able to see the rare manta ray cyclone.
However, it was really cold! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with strong winds. My wet body from practicing snorkeling at the sandbar got colder and colder on the boat, and even with a towel wrapped around me and a jacket on, I couldn't stop shivering. I wanted to do more snorkeling, but it was too cold, so we cut it short. My daughter ended up with a high fever at night, and we had to rush to the ER, experiencing both heaven and hell.
Even though it was hot in Waikiki, the temperature around the sandbar was quite different, so don't let your guard down.
When the weather is bad, I recommend not getting wet until the actual snorkeling and making sure to bring dry clothes. It might not be necessary if it's hot, but staying wet will continue to sap your body heat even on the bus ride back.
As an additional note, definitely get overseas insurance, and if symptoms are severe (especially for children), let's take them to the ER instead of using Doctor on Call (the worst!).
3/末に小6の娘と一緒に参加しました。スタッフは楽しくてとっても良い人たちだし、船上で作ってくれるランチはおいしかった。ユキコさんが最高の家族写真を撮ってくれました。
初めてのシュノーケリングでも、ライフジャケットとフィンのおかげで、泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました。魚やウミガメと一緒に泳げたのは最高です。
船上からは、珍しいマンタサイクロンも見ることができました。
が、とにかく寒かった!あいにくの曇天と強風。サンドバーでシュノーケリングの練習のため濡れた体が、風をうける船上でどんどんひえて、タオルを巻いても上着を着ても震えがとまらず、本番のシュノーケリングも、もっとしたかったけど寒くて途中で切り上げました。
娘が夜高熱をだして、ERに駆け込む羽目になり、天国と地獄、両方の気分を味わいました。
ワイキキは暑くてもサンドバーの辺りは気温がだいぶ違ったので、油断しないこと。
天気が悪い時は、本番までは体を濡らさないことと、乾いた着替えはちゃんと持つことを勧めます。暑ければ不要なんでしょうが、濡れたままだと帰りのバスでもどんどん体温奪われます。
さらに余談ですが海外保険は絶対入っておくことと、症状が重い時は(特に子供)ドクターオンコール(最悪!)ではなくERにつれていきましょう。

My husband and I had such a great experience! The catamaran was huge and very clean. The crew was very knowledgeable and always made sure your drink was full (did I mention that beer and wine drinks were only $1?? Can't beat that!) We felt that we were on a private, luxury tour the way that we were treated! Not to mention that we got up close and personal with an entire family of humpback whales!!! We followed them for awhile, watching them play and jump. It was the best tour we did in Hawaii and will definitely be doing it again next time we visit Hawaii!

I used the restaurant on the morning of my return home. I had a reservation for 7:30 AM, and even though I arrived a little early, I was able to enter right away. I ordered the smoked salmon, and my wife had the fruit crepe, which we shared, and both were very delicious. The restaurant was relatively empty that day, and we were able to relax and enjoy our coffee for about an hour after our meal.
帰国日の朝に利用しました。朝7時30分の予約でしたが、少し早く店に着いたにもかかわらずすぐに入店できました。私はスモークサーモン、妻はフルーツのクレープを注文しシェアして食べましたがどちらも大変おいしかったです。この日は店内も比較的空いていて、食後のコーヒーを飲みながら1時間ほどゆったりと過ごすことができました。

This dinner cruise was truly spectacular. We checked in and seemed to be upgraded from the roast beef dinner to the steak and crab dinner. Love it! We were seated at an intimate table for two on the side of the stage and were able to start eating while the rest of the guests were seated with efficiency. It didn't take long for us to be on our way and dinner was served. The steak was medium rare and delicious and the crab (if not a little cold) was wonderful. Entertainment was superb! We enjoyed the beautiful sunset and even spotted a few whales in the distance and enjoyed the Polynesian entertainment. We were able to stroll all decks and since the 2nd deck was not occupied enjoyed a quiet moment before returning to the dock. Enjoyed every minute.

My family and I went to a afternoon 2 hours whale watching. We couldn't see whales this time but we all enjoyed on catamaran cruise.
I love this catamaran, we sat on front of boat most of the time. We saw great views of the ocean, harbor, beach, diamond head,
coco head, and building of waikiki city. We also saw beautiful rainbow.
The captain and crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. They provided us free snack and soft drinks, you can get beer if you pay $1 that is good deal.
The captain gave us a free ride ticket because we did not see whales. So, we definitely come back to tour again when we come back to Hawaii!!
I also satisfied customer service of Hawaii activities when I book this tour. They also called me for remind the tour the day before,which is help us.
I definitely recommend this whale watching tour book by Hawaii activities.

There was no communication about what kind of bus or car would come for the hotel pickup on the day, and after more than 10 minutes had passed, I tried to contact them but it was difficult to get through. When I finally did, I was told that they would arrive shortly, but I ended up waiting another 30 minutes. When I tried to contact them again, it was hard to get through, and when I finally did, I was told that the bus should have already picked me up. Since it was a hotel pickup, I expected them to at least have a nameplate or call my name. In the end, I waited for an hour, and my schedule for the day was completely messed up. It was the worst service.
当日ホテルでのピックアップにどのようなバスまたは車で来るのかの連絡もなく10分以上過ぎていたので連絡するも繋がりにくくやっと繋がったとおもったら間も無く到着しますという返答から更に30分待たされて連絡してもまた繋がりにくくやっと繋がったらもうバスが迎えに行ったはずですとの事…ホテルでのピックアップなのだからネームプレートや名前を呼ぶぐらいの対応してほしいところですね

This is by far the best whale watch in Honolulu. I've been on both Navatek and Star of the Sea whale watches and they do not compare to the experience you get with this whale watch. The catamaran is very clean and the crew was great! They were not only observant to everyone's safety on board they were hilarious! My family (including a two year old toddler) had an amazing time. I was very fortunate to have found this activity through Veltra. I was hosting a friend who had never been on a whale watch and it was an amazing experience. We chose the late morning tour and it was perfect. The boat went out and the crew was able to find whales within 30 minutes from take off. There were an estimated 5 male humpback whales swimming together and we circled them while they dove. They were so magnificent and during the time we were watching them the crew members told us much about their behaviors. they told us why it wasn't unusual that a group of males would be traveling together and they also told us what would've been different if we had spotted a mama and her calf. Although none breached out of the water we saw them come to the surface many times. It was so amazing to see so many of them at once! At one point we saw all five come to the surface and blow water from their backs at the same time. Talk about a magical vacation moment!
I'd book this again in a heartbeat!!

we just went to this activity last Wednesday 8.30 am and it was great! We arrived a bit early and just took a walk around the park. very nice area. They have easy parking next to the Marina where you can park for $1.00/ hour. The crew on the cruise was very nice and made us feel welcome right away. We were only 6 on the cruise witch made it very intimate. I think that is one of the great advantages of the morning cruise, We took a drink and sat on the front nats until we saw turtle and dauphins and finally on the way back a couple whales. The whales were the least impressive as you stand far away and they don t really jump out of the water as you see on TV. It was one mother and one maybe and they basically just came up to the surface to breath every so often. Everything considering, this was a great way to spend morning. Maybe a bit overpriced but the crew and amenities were great.
Compare to the huge ships, I would choose this one every time just so you actually feel like you are on a boat .
Snacks could use improvement and the way back to marina was a bit rushed

Highly recommended!
The boat is a twin-hulled vessel with dual propulsion and has a restroom. It moves within Kaneohe Bay, protected from waves by a coral reef, so there's hardly any rocking and no worries about seasickness. Participants were evenly split between Japanese and people from other countries.
It's reassuring that there are staff members who can speak Japanese.
I signed up without much expectation, but the sandbar was amazing!!! A vast expanse of white sand. People playing beach volleyball. English conversations, jokes, and laughter echoing around. Boats anchored here and there. Staff playing guitar and singing.
I truly felt like I had come to paradise. I will never forget this experience. I'm really glad I came.
At the turtle spot, I was able to see many turtles.
I was lucky enough to swim with turtles while snorkeling. They allow you to go without a life jacket, so you can enjoy deep dives. There are plenty of fish! About an hour of fun!
In March, the water is cold. It's fine while you're in, but it gets chilly once you get out, so be sure to bring a bath towel and a change of clothes.
The boat has a cabin and quite a bit of space, so you can bring in a fair amount of luggage. There are several staff members on each boat, and there’s always someone where the luggage is, so I felt safe from theft.
There are no showers, but at the end, they rinse you off with a bucket of fresh water.
Soft drinks are available for free. I was also happy to have hot cocoa after getting out of the water. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious.
All the staff were cheerful and made a great impression. They really seemed to enjoy being with the customers, which made it fun!
I met up at the location, but you can park for free at the boat harbor.
Like with any tour, changing from swimwear to clothes is done in the restroom. However, those using the shuttle can ride the bus in their swimwear.
Yuki, the Japanese staff member, was very efficient, humorous, and took great care of us.
I highly recommend this tour.

The catamaran was the perfect vessel to get up close to Dolphins, turtles and other sea life. From the minute we got on board the entire crew had welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. The captain explained what we would see and the rules of the vessel and was ready and willing to answer any questions or address any issues. I was impressed that they offered sunscreen to use and oil for motion sickness. It was thoughtful of them and they really cared about their passengers having a good trip. They had refreshments and juices for free. They offered beer for ($1) and mixed drinks for ($2). The drinks were strong, too. : ) We saw several pods of Dolphins, turtles and a whale.

I was worried about seasickness and the possibility of falling into the sea while traveling with my almost 2-year-old and 6-year-old, but those worries were completely unfounded. At first, we only caught a glimpse of a dorsal fin, but before we knew it, we were treated to the spectacular sight of 3 or 4 whales diving one after another! Both the kids and the adults, including the captain, were thrilled. On the way back, we were also able to see dolphins.
One thing… I would have appreciated a bit more for breakfast. However, we returned to the hotel by late morning and were able to make very meaningful use of our day.

Since I was staying at Aulani, I walked over to see an authentic luau. I knew that all activities would be conducted in English, but when I realized that my conversation skills weren't up to par, the cast members seemed annoyed and were openly speaking negatively (even though I couldn't converse, I could understand). It really depends on the person, but the attitude of the cast was the worst.
Before the show started, there were activities like tattoo painting and bracelet making, but it felt like there was a bit of wasted time. Since I had the deluxe package, I received a gift card worth about $20 or $24, but I couldn't drink that many beverages, so I went to the shop. However, the items on display didn't really spark my interest, and once the show ended, the store closed quickly as the bus for the group departed, so I recommend making your purchases early. In the end, I couldn't even spend about $15.
The content of the show was wonderful, but the food was just okay. As for whether I would go again... honestly, I'm not sure.
アウラニに泊まっていたので、本格的なルアウを見たいと徒歩で向かいました。
全てのアクティビティが英語で進行するのはわかっていましたが、こちらが会話ができるレベルではないことを知ると、面倒くさそうにした上に、思いっきり悪口を言っており(会話はできなくとも、ヒアリングはできるため)人にもよるとは思いますがキャストの態度は最悪でした。
ショーが始まる前にもタトゥーをペイントしたり、ブレスレットを作ったりできますが、やや時間を持て余ます感がありました。
デラックスタイプにしていたので$20?24くらいのギフトカードがついていましたが、飲み物も何杯も飲めないので、売店に行きましたが、購買意欲があまり沸かない商品が陳列してあり、ショーが終わって団体専用のバスが出てしまうと早々に店じまいしてしまうので、早めに商品にしてしまうのがお勧めです。結局私は$15ほど使えずに終わってしまいました。
ショーの内容はすばらしかったですが、食事はまぁ、こんなもんかといった感想です。
もう1度行くか・・・というと、正直わかりません。

I have experienced dinner at Arancino twice, and the taste is guaranteed. This time, I made a reservation because I had accumulated points on VELTRA and had a delicious experience at dinner before. In mid-March, since I had a reservation at 9:00, the restaurant was relatively empty. We quickly settled down on the terrace for our meal. My wife loved it, while I, being a pancake enthusiast, felt a bit unsatisfied in terms of portion size. The pasta was better. In conclusion, I think it’s an extremely meaningful place to enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere, feel the pleasant breeze on the terrace, and sip tropical juice while discussing future plans and memories. However, if your goal is to have a hearty breakfast, it would be better to go to another coffee shop. Therefore, I judged it to be suitable for newlyweds and girls' gatherings, as the title suggests.
アランチーノはディナーで2回経験し、味は折り紙つき。今回、VELTRAの得点がたまったことと、ディナーのおいしかった経験があり予約した。3月の中旬、9:00予約ということもあり、店内は比較的すいていた。早速テラスで食事となった。感想は、嫁さんは大好評、パンケーキ派の小生は量という意味では物足りなさを感じた。パスタの方が良かった。結論を言えば、ハワイの雰囲気を感じながら、テラスで心地よい風にあたり、トロピカルジュースを飲みながら、今後のスケジュールとか思い出とか語るには極めて有意義な場所だと思う。ただ、がっちり朝食を食べるのが目的ならば他のコーヒーショップへ行った方が良い。よって、タイトル通り新婚さんとか女子会向けと判断した。
Thank you very much for visiting Arancino di Mare. We also appreciate your valuable feedback. We look forward to welcoming you again.

We looked around at a lot of luaus but then we luckily got recommended for chiefs from our front desk lady. The food was amazing, the stuff before was a lot of fun. The show was incredible and the chief was a blast and very funny! Would defiantly recommend it to anyone looking for a great luau at a pretty good price!

The large ship was stable, and my wife and son, who are prone to seasickness, had no issues. Although we didn't see the dynamic whales like in the pictures, we were able to spot a few whales that surfaced and spouted water.
大きな船で揺れもなく、船酔いする妻と息子も問題ありませんでした。
写真で見るようなダイナミックな鯨は見られませんが、数回姿をあらわして潮を吹く鯨を見ることが出来ました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度は、ご乗船頂きまして誠にありがとうございます。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

Kids both loved the experience. Plenty of activities to do that are included in the price. There are a lot of places to spend more money. Food was good, not great, but lots of options. Everyone was nice and it was well run. Entertainment was great.

My family of four had a great time on this cruise. We did have some trouble finding the boat in the slip at the harbor. Directions could have been better. Once we were on the boat, everything was what was expected. The crew was very nice and helpful. We found a pod of whales right away and then went and snorkeled at a reef because we had time. Drinks were great along the way.

I participated in the morning. On the day I joined, the sandbar had water depth up to my knees, and the sandbar was not visible. It was quite cold, and I shivered. It's definitely better to wear a rash guard or something similar. Once you get into the water for snorkeling, you get used to the cold. The fish are quite deep down, so they can be a bit hard to see. However, there are plenty of coral reefs, and you can see some fish. When you dive and come back up to the boat, it gets cold again, so I recommend bringing a larger bath towel. Anyway, all the staff here are very energetic and friendly! I would love to participate again next time!
午前に参加しました。参加した日のサンドバーは水深がヒザぐらいまであって、サンドバーは見えなかったです。結構寒くて震えました。ラッシュガードなど必ず着た方がいいです。シュノーケリングで水中に入ってると、冷たさは慣れてきます。魚はかなり下の方にいるので少し見えにくいです。でもサンゴ礁がいっぱいでそれなりに魚も見れます。潜って船上に上がるとまた寒いので大きめのバスタオルを持参することおススメです。とにかくこちらのスタッフさんは皆さんとても元気で感じのいいスタッフさんばかりです!また次回参加したいです!
