It was very good. We used the shuttle from Aulani on February 27 with four children and three adults. We had a lot of fun. I recommend it. There were events on the boat, such as hula dance and ukulele workshops, which were enjoyable. It was unfortunate that the hula dance instructor felt sick from seasickness. However, the boat didn't sway as much as I expected. I think the lunch was reasonably priced.
Perhaps it was the right season, as we were able to see whales multiple times. Also, it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean perspective, as I had never seen them that way before.
In any case, the children were happy, and I highly recommend it!
とても良かったです.アウラニからの送迎で,子供4人大人3人で2月27日に利用させていただきました.とても楽しかったです.お薦めです.舟の中では,フラダンスやウクレレの講習会などのイベントがあり,楽しませていただきました.フラダンスの先生が船酔いで具合悪かったのが,残念でした.とは行っても,舟は思ったほど揺れてませんでした.お昼の食事は,値段相応かと思います.
時季が良かったのでしょうか,クジラを何度も見られました.また,ワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドを海からの角度から見たことがなかったので,これもまた良かったです.
とにかく,子供も喜んでいましたし,お薦めです!!

I was able to enter around 10:30 AM. The return bus departs at 3:15 PM, so I started changing around 2:30 PM, and I wished I had a bit more time to enjoy.
The thrill rides were more exciting than I expected. The changing room is combined with the restroom, so it lacks cleanliness.
In addition to fast food, there was a barbecue plate lunch that was very delicious and filling.
When purchasing alcohol like beer, you need to show something that verifies your age, and we were able to buy it by showing a color copy of our passports. Once you show it, they put a band on your wrist indicating that you are over 21.
All the staff were friendly and kind.
10時30分頃に入場出来ました。
3時15分に帰りのバスが出発なので、2時30分頃から着替えをしたので、
もう少し遊ぶ時間があればと思いました。
絶叫系のアトラクションは思った以上にスリルがありました。
更衣室はトイレと一緒なので、清潔感はありません。
食事はファストフードのほかに、バーベキューのプレートランチがありましたが
とても美味しかったし、ボリュームがありました。
ビール等のアルコール購入時には、年齢が確認できるものが必要で、私たちは
パスポートのカラーコピーを見せて買う事ができました。
一度見せると、腕に21歳以上であることのバンドをつけてくれます。
スタッフは皆さんフレンドリーで親切です。

First, please note that snacks will be confiscated, so avoid bringing them.
The pool is spacious enough to keep children entertained. However, on weekdays, there are fewer guests, so attractions operate on a one-open, one-close basis. For the boat slide that requires several people, you need to ensure the total weight is sufficient, so families must calculate accordingly.
I was really looking forward to the lazy river, but it was closed for the entire day...
The food is delicious.
Also, the changing area is located behind the restrooms, so initially, guests who are unaware may get confused and hurriedly change in front of the outdoor lockers. If you go further in, you'll find the changing area, so please look for it.
まず、お菓子は没収されますので持っていかないようにしましょう。
プールは子供連れには飽きさせない広さです。
ただし、平日ではお客さんが少ないのでアトラクションも
ひとつ開けたらひとつ閉める、といった形態です。
数名で乗るボートスライダーも重さが足りないといけないので、
家族連れでも計算して乗らないと大変です。
ゆったり流れるプールを一番楽しみにしていたのに、そこは一日空きませんでした、、、
ご飯は美味しいです。
あと、着替え場所はトイレの裏なので、初め分からないお客さんがみんな迷ったまま、
野外のロッカー前でそそくさと着替えてしまっていました。
ちゃんと奥にいくと着替え場所があるので、探してみてください。

The morning started off with a leisurely pickup, and the bus was comfortable. The boat was very clean, making it enjoyable for families, couples, and friends alike!
I had heard in a post that we might only see small whales, so I honestly approached it with a cruising mindset, but we were fortunate enough to see mother and baby whales jumping one after another!
The lunch was delicious, and the afternoon workshops, including ukulele, hula, and lei-making, were fun and enjoyed by everyone.
At the end, they asked if there were any birthday celebrants or newlyweds, and when the honeymooners gathered in front, they sang Hawaiian songs with a guitar, creating a wonderful time for everyone to celebrate.
I highly recommend it!
朝もゆっくりピックアップで、バスも快適。

投稿で『小さい鯨の姿が見える程度』と聞いていたので、正直
クルージング感覚で行きましたが、鯨の親子が次々にジャンプ!

I previously went to a place in Guam with a similar attraction and had a great time, so I found Wet 'n' Wild online and made a reservation. There were so many different attractions, and it was fun, but perhaps due to the lack of staff? It felt like after one attraction was operated, it would close and they would operate another, so not all attractions were running at the same time. However, it wasn't too bothersome, so that was good.
The attractions were all things that would definitely be considered too dangerous to create in Japan, but everyone was having fun without getting hurt. However, at the very end, I ended up hitting my back hard while going down a slide on a five-person inflatable raft. I was so breathless that I felt a moment of panic and fear from getting injured in a foreign country. A staff member came to help, but it didn't feel like they were going to take me to the hospital; after checking my condition, they just suggested icing it, and they didn't really explain what my injury was like.
After returning to Waikiki, I bought some pain relief patches at an ABC Store and applied them for a couple of days, which helped the pain go away, so that was good. However, since I got injured, I think someone else might get hurt as well. I believe it's important to consider this and ensure that small children are kept safe from injuries.
以前グアムのプールで同じようなアトラクションがある所に行き、とても楽しかったのでネットでウェット&ワイルドを見つけ予約しました。すごく色んなアトラクションがあって楽しかったのですが、従業員が少ないからか?笑 一つのアトラクションを運営した後それは休止して他のアトラクションを運営させるという感じで常に全部のアトラクションが動いてあるという感じではなかったです。でもそれはあまり気にならなかったので良かったですが。
アトラクションは日本では絶対危険すぎてありえない、作れないだろうというアトラクションばかりですが皆さん怪我することなく遊んでいて楽しかったです。しかし私は最後の最後で5人乗りで浮き輪のようなものに乗ってスライダーを降りるやつで背中を強打してしまいました。本当に息ができないくらいで異国で怪我したので一瞬頭が真っ白になるくらい不安で怖かったです。ドクターというか係員が来てくれたのですが、病院に連れて行くという感じではなく、状態を見た後は氷で冷やすという感じで終わってしまい、怪我がどんな感じなのかというのもあまり言ってくれませんでした。その後ワイキキに戻った後ABCストアで湿布を買って2、3日貼っていたら痛みはひいて治ったので良かったのですが、私が怪我をしたということは誰かしらまた怪我することがあると思います。そのことも検討して小さい子どもには怪我をさせないよう考えた方が良いと思います。

There are various water slides, and both adults and children can enjoy them. If the temperature were a bit higher, I think you could spend the whole day there without getting bored. However, it's unfortunate that, perhaps due to the low number of customers on weekdays, the attractions change every hour, so there were many times when I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

I checked the tide levels at the sandbar online in advance and chose this day, so it was disappointing that the temperature was lower than expected and there was a strong wind. However, I still had a wonderful day.
Out of 70 participants, 40 were Japanese (including 10 newlyweds!), and we split into two boats, one with a Japanese guide and the other with an English guide. Since it was a boat with only Japanese people, it felt quite relaxed.
When we arrived at the sandbar and entered the water from the stairs, I was submerged up to my waist. Wow, it was cold! After moving a few meters forward, it quickly became shallow, with the shallowest parts being about ankle-deep. The shallow areas felt somewhat warmer. Here, beginners practiced snorkeling and some enjoyed beach volleyball (it looked tough due to the strong wind).
During this time, the staff actively came to the participants to take photos while guiding us on poses, so we ended up with many memorable pictures. The meal consisted of hamburgers and boiled beans, which were quite delicious.
After eating, we took a tour around an area with many sea turtles (there were a few, but it was difficult to capture the right moment for photos) and moved to a snorkeling point at the coral reef. Due to the cold weather and strong wind, the perceived temperature was quite low, and many people opted out of snorkeling. However, I decided to give it a try since I had bought a waterproof camera that can be used at depths of 15 meters for this day.
Equipped with a life jacket and mask, I entered the water, but I was overwhelmed by the coldness for a while. However, I soon got used to it. The staff threw food from the boat, attracting a lot of fish.
It was my first time snorkeling, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well I managed. Once we finished and got back on the boat, the wind blew through, and my body temperature dropped quickly. "Whoa! It's cold!" It felt much warmer in the water. After being advised by the guide, I changed out of my wet clothes into dry ones, which made me feel much better.
I brought a rash guard and reef boots, but the reef boots were unnecessary, and going barefoot was fine. I didn't buy a hoodie, but I think it would have been a good idea.
事前にサンドバーの潮位をネットで調べてこの日にしたので、気温が思っていたより低くて強い風も吹いていたのは残念でしたが、それでも楽しい一日を満喫できました。
参加者70人中日本人が40人(その中に新婚さん10組!)という構成で、日本語ガイド船と英語ガイド船の2隻に分かれて出航しました。
日本人だけの船なので、まあ気楽と言えば気楽です。
サンドバーに着いて、階段から海に入ると腰のあたりまでドボンと浸かりました。うぁ~冷たい!
数メートル前進すると、すぐ浅くなって・・一番浅いところはくるぶし程度です。浅いところは、多少暖かく感じます。ここで、シュノーケル初心者は練習をしたり、ビーチバレーに興じたり(風が強いので、大変そうでした)。
この間、スタッフの方が積極的に参加者の所に来て(ポーズを指導して)撮影してくれるので、思い出深い記念の写真が沢山出来ました。
食事は、ハンバーガーと煮豆?なかなか美味しかったです。
食後は、ウミガメが多いエリアをぐるっと回って(数匹いましたが、撮影タイミングは難しいです)、シュノーケリングを行う珊瑚礁のポイントに移動です。
この日は、寒くて風も強かったために体感温度はかなり低く、シュノーケリングをパスする人もかなりありましたが、折角なので私は頑張る事にしました。そう!この日のために、水深15mまで使えるデジカメを購入して来たのですから・・。
ライフジャケットとマスク類の装備を身につけて海に入ったものの、水の冷たさにしばらく圧倒されていましたが、その内慣れてきました。船上から餌をまいてくれたので、魚がすごく集まって来ます。
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、思ったより上手く出来てちょっと嬉しくなってしまいました。
終わって、船上に上がると風が吹き抜けて一気に体温が下がりました「うお~!寒い」海の中の方がよほど暖かかったように思えます・・ガイドさんに言われて、濡れている物を脱いで乾いた服に着替えたら、だいぶ楽になりました。
私はラッシュガードやリーフブーツを用意して行きましたが、リーフブーツは不要で裸足でOKでした。
パーカーは買わなかったのですが、あった方が良いと思いました。

In March, there is a high probability of seeing whales raising their young near Diamond Head, so I decided to join the tour. During the first trip, I spotted a spout and moved the boat closer, but I couldn't observe anything further. However, this tour offers a free reschedule if you don't see anything, so I participated again for a second chance. During the second trip, I saw about 20 spouts, around 20 tail flukes, and three dives, so I was very satisfied with the experience. I would like to join again.
3月はかなりの確率でダイヤモンドヘッド付近において子育て中のくじらを見ることができるということで参加しました。1回目は潮吹きを確認し船を進めるもののそれ以上の観測はできませんでした。しかし、このツアーは見れないときは無料で次回の振替権をくれたので、リベンジをすべく2回目に参加しました。2回目では潮吹き20回くらい、尾びれも20回くらい、ダイビングも3回ととても旺盛に動いてくれたので大満足でした。
また、参加したいと思います。

The attractions were fun and unique compared to those in Japan, and there were shallow pools for kids to play in and places to relax and sunbathe, which made for a very enjoyable experience. Our plan was the cheapest option, but we were able to play without worrying about time, so we didn't drink frequently or have meals that were particularly memorable, just typical American fare.
While popular attractions do have wait times, they move quickly, and waiting for about 20 minutes isn't too bothersome. However, like us, if the weather isn't great, it can feel a bit disappointing. When it's cloudy, it feels cold after getting out of the pool or while waiting for attractions, and it gets chilly when it rains. There are also few places to take shelter from the rain, which can dampen your spirits.
If the weather is nice, it can be an incredibly fun experience, and I would rate it five stars, but... discussing the weather, it's something that can be said about any tour. Even if the weather isn't perfect, you can still have a good time, so I recommend it!
アトラクションは日本にはないような楽しいものありましたし、子供が遊べる浅めのプールやのんびり日焼けできるところもあり、非常に楽しめました。
私たちのプランは一番安いプランだったのですが、時間を忘れて遊べるので飲み物も頻繁に飲まないですし、食事もアメリカらしい感じで可もなく不可もなくでした。
人気のアトラクションは待ち時間もありますが、回りが早いですし、待っても20分くらいなので気にはならないと思います。
ただ、私たちもそうでしたが、天気に恵まれないと少しもったいない気がします。
曇ったりするとプールから上がった後や、アトラクションの待ち時間は寒く感じますし、雨が降ると寒いですし。雨宿りする場所も少ないのでテンションが下がります。
天気に恵まれれば最高に楽しいですし、星5つの評価だったのですが・・・
ただ、天気の話をするとどこのツアーも同じことが言えますし、天気に恵まれなくても楽しむことはできるのでおすすめです!

It's surprisingly small, and since you can't see it up close, if you have too high expectations, you might think it's not much. When a whale is spotted, there will be an announcement in the direction it was seen, so I think it's important to dash and secure a good spot. If you don't make an effort to move, you might end up not seeing anything at all.
意外と小さいくて、あまり近くではみれないので、あまり期待し過ぎてるとこんなもんかと思ってしまいます。
クジラが見えたら見えた方向の放送がはいるので、ダッシュしていい場所が取れるかが重要だと思います。
頑張って移動したりしないと見れないで終わってしまったりもあり得ると思います。

As a whale watching experience, it was very disappointing. This is all we saw (and everything was very far away).
- A couple of brief spouts
- A fleeting glimpse of a tail
Additionally, there were so many people on the deck that if a large person was in front, I couldn't see anything at all. I could only see people's backs and heads.
I understand that how active the whales are depends on luck, but it was just too disappointing for the price. Since large boats can't get close, even if we saw big movements like breaching, it would still be a distant event.
I would have preferred to enjoy other activities for this time and cost. I definitely cannot recommend this to acquaintances.
ホエールウォッチングとしては、とてもがっかりする内容でした。
見たのはこれだけでした。(しかもどれもとても遠くで。)
・一瞬の潮吹きを2,3回程度
・尾ひれを一瞬
また、デッキにとても人が多いため、体の大きな人が前にいると全く見えません。人の背中と頭しか見えない状況でした。
くじらがどれだけ活発に動いてくれるかは運次第なのだとも分かっていますが、
価格に見合わず、あまりにも残念でした。
大型船では近くまで行けないので、たとえブリーチのような大きな動きを見れたとしても遠くの出来事なのだろうと思います。
この時間と料金で他のアクティビティを楽しんだ方が良かったです。

As expected, in February in Hawaii, you can see both whales and dolphins. I was lucky.
I heard there are days when you can't see them.
You don't even need to go to the upper deck; the second floor was enough to see well.
On the contrary, you can see the dolphins much closer from the second floor.

I hope everyone who participates gets to see them too!

This time, we went to Hawaii for our university graduation trip with four girls. While planning our trip, we were considering which optional tours to take, and that's when we learned about Wet 'n' Wild from a magazine. Wet 'n' Wild is the only water theme park in Hawaii, and we found out it has over 25 thrilling attractions, covering an area equivalent to three Tokyo Domes. We thought, "This is something we absolutely can't experience in Japan!" and decided to include this in our travel plan.
On the day of the pool visit! When we woke up in the morning, it was cloudy. When we stepped outside, it was slightly chilly in short sleeves. Everyone was worried as we boarded the bus, heading to Wet 'n' Wild. It took about an hour by bus to reach Wet 'n' Wild on the west coast from Honolulu.
Even though Hawaii never drops below 20 degrees Celsius year-round, it was technically winter, so we heard it was much less crowded than usual. As we passed through the entrance gate, we were overwhelmed by the scale of the place. Looking up, we were in awe. It truly felt like America! Our energy, which had been low due to sleepiness and the cold, suddenly shot up. We quickly changed into our swimsuits, applied sunscreen, and set out! First, we headed to the wave pool to get used to the water. Japan also has wave pools, but the waves here were definitely different! Once we got into the pool, we forgot about the cold. The water was as beautiful as Waikiki Beach. We sat on inflatable rings, playing and getting swept away by the big waves alongside the kids. There was a break every 30 minutes, so during the wave breaks, we headed to the attractions.
The first ride we tried was "Shaka." My honest reaction when I first saw it was, "What is this?!" It was a simple yet thrilling ride where two people ride on an inflatable ring and slide down a U-shaped board. Excited screams echoed from those who were falling. As thrill-seekers, we quickly climbed the stairs to the ride. However, when we reached the top, our legs felt weak. The height and drop were more than we expected. But there was no time to be scared; before we knew it, we were falling. Since two people ride facing each other on the ring, one person falls backward while the other falls forward. I fell forward, and it felt just like a roller coaster.
今回私たちは大学の卒業旅行で女子4人でハワイに行きました。旅行プランを考えるにあたり、オプショナルツアーを何にしようか考えていたところ、雑誌であwet and wildの存在を知りました。wet and wildはハワイで唯一の水のテーマパークであり、東京ドーム3個分の広さに加え、スリル満点のアトラクションが25以上あると知り、これは日本では絶対に体験できない!!と思い、このプランを私たちの旅行プランに取り入れるとこに決定しました。
プール当日!朝起きると、なんと曇り。外に出ると半袖で若干肌寒いくらいでした。みんな心配しながらバスに乗り、いざwet and wildへ。ホノルルから西海岸にあるwet and wildに向かうまではバスで約1時間ほどかかりました。
1年中20度を下回ることが無いというハワイでも季節的には冬季ということもあり、シーズンよりもだいぶ空いているという話でした。いざ、入場ゲートをくぐり中へ入るとそのスケールの大きさに圧倒。上を見上げ驚愕といった様子でした。
さすが、アメリカ!と感じました。さっきまで寝むさと寒さで下がり気味だったテンションも一気にハイテンションへ。すぐに水着に着替え、日焼け止めをばっちり塗り出陣!まずは身体を水に慣らすために波のプールへ。日本にも波のプールは有りますが、やはりアメリカ。日本とは波の大きさが違う!一度プールの中に入ってしまえば寒さも忘れてしまいました。プールの水もワイキキビーチのように綺麗でした。浮き輪の上に座って大きな波に流されながら子どもたちに混ざって遊んでいました。波は30分おきに休憩タイムがあるので、波がお休みの間はアトラクションへ。
最初に乗ったのは「シャカ」です。初めて見たときは何これ!というのが素直な感想でした。U字の板の上を2人乗りの浮き輪に乗り滑り落ちるといったシンプルな絶叫マシーン。落ちて行く人たちからは楽しそうな悲鳴が響き渡っていました。絶叫好きな私たちはすぐに階段を上り、乗り場へ向かいました。しかし、いざ上に立つと足がすくみました。予想以上の高さと落差。しかし、怖がっている暇もなく気が付いたら落ちていました。2人が向かい合って浮き輪に乗って落ちるため、1人は後ろ向きに、もう1人は前向きに落下することになります。私は前向きに落下したのですが、まさにジェットコースターの様でした。こんな

This was my first time participating, and I was able to see a lot from a distance! I booked the option without meals, and I think that was a good choice.
About 20 minutes after departure, we started to see whales, so those who were at the buffet couldn't concentrate on their meals anymore. If you choose the meal option, I think it's better to finish eating early as the ship departs.
I was able to see more than I expected, and I was very satisfied!
初めて参加しましたが、やや遠目にたくさん見れました!
食事なしのものを予約しましたがそれでよかったように思います。
出港して20分くらいでクジラが見え始めたので、ビュッフェ中の人は食事に集中できなくなってました。
食事つきにするのなら、船の出港とともに早めに食べ終えたほうがいいと思います。
思ったよりたくさん見れて、大満足でした!
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed seeing many whales. Please come back to see the whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

I visited during my university graduation trip. I thought it would be a waste to go to a pool in Hawaii, but a friend recommended it, saying it was really fun, so I went. In conclusion, all six of us said it was the most enjoyable part of our Hawaii trip. Since it was late February, it was a bit cold to go into the ocean. The pool felt cold at times, but we were blessed with good weather, and it was bearable.
The most fun part was the slide that six of us could ride together. A friend jokingly said they felt a sense of danger, as it was full of thrills. Also, the wave pool had waves that were so powerful compared to those in Japan, and even while floating on a ring, if you accidentally caught a wave, you would be swept all the way to the shore, which was a lot of fun. The lazy river didn’t flow very fast, but it was nice to float slowly and relax. The slides operated in 30-minute intervals. I think it was because there were few people, but I had checked reviews beforehand, so it wasn't a problem.
We ate pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs, and they weren't as bad as I had read in the reviews. I recommend bringing a wrap towel because the changing area has the same floor as the restrooms, and the curtain dividers aren't sufficient.
大学の卒業旅行で訪れました。
ハワイに来てプールに行くなんて勿体無いと思ったりしましたが
別の友人から、とても面白かったから是非!とオススメされていきました。
結論としては、六人全員がハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しかったと
言っていました。
時期が二月後半だったので、海に入るには少し寒かったからと
いうのもあります。
プールも寒く感じることもありましたが、お天気にも恵まれ、
寒さにも耐えられる程度でした。
一番楽しかったのは6人で乗れるスライダーでした。
友人は命の危険を感じた笑 と言っていたくらい、スリル満点でした。
また、波のプールは日本のものとは比べものにならないくらい、迫力ある波で、浮き輪でぷかぷか浮いていても、うっかり波に乗ってしまうと波打ち際まで流されてしまってとても楽しかったです。
流れるプールはなかなか流れませんでしたが、ゆっくり流れていてのんびりできて楽しかったです。
スライダーなどは30分交代で稼働していました。人が少ないからだと思いますが事前に口コミなど見ていたので問題ありませんでした。
ご飯はピザ、ハンバーガー、ホットドッグなどを食べましたが口コミで見ていたほど悪くはありませんでした。
着替えの場所がトイレと同じ床なこと、しきりのカーテンが十分ではないので、まきまきタオルを持ってくことをオススメします。

Perhaps my expectations were too high, or the brochure was just that wonderful, or maybe the whales were not in a good mood...
I only saw a few distant tail slaps and spouts, but there was no dynamic breaching.
It might be that the timing was just too late.
The waves were mild, but I still think motion sickness medication is necessary. It is available at ABC (with Japanese signage), so you can easily get it on-site.
期待が大きすぎたのか、パンフレットが素晴らしいのか、
それともクジラのご機嫌が悪かったのか・・・・
潮吹き、尻尾は遠くに数回見えただけで
ダイナミックなブリーチングはありませんでした。
やはり時期が遅すぎるかもしれません。
揺れは少ないですがやはり酔い止めは必要と思います。
ABCで売っています(日本語表示)ので現地調達可能です。

This is the best Luau and a must see!
From the beginning of the bus ride out of Waikiki to the final drop off this was a treat. Everyone going to Hawaii should see this at least once.
Cousin Mo was so funny and informative on the bus that it really made it fun. There are great activities at the Luau and you really experience the hospitality and sprit of Aloha.
This was my second time to Paradise cove and it did not dissapoint. I took my brother and he loved it.
We bought the front row tickets and had great seats....just don't expect your ticket price to deliver a top notch dinner. The food is good and the pork exceptional but not what I would spend $120 on. All the other inculsions make it really worth it.
I would go back again and again

My husband and I went on a morning cruise on Valentine's day. We were so excited to spot pods of whales we forgot to go downstairs to join in Hawaiian activities. Unfortunately we couldn't come across impressive acts of whales, but we'll keep it next time.

As the reviews suggested, I was really able to see a whale a little! However, I only caught a glimpse of the tail a few times, and it wasn't as impressive as the full body or jumping shots you often see in photos. Just being able to see it was lucky, though... Once they surface for a breath, they don't come back up for about ten minutes, so I didn't get to see them frequently. However, there was drink service, and I didn't feel seasick, so I was able to enjoy the cruising experience comfortably! The view of Waikiki from the sea was also great!
口コミの噂どうり本当に鯨を少し見られました!
ただ尾の方を数回確認しましたが良くある写真みたいに全体やジャンプしてる所ではないので迫力にはかけました。
見られただけでもラッキーなのですが・・・
一度息継ぎに浮上すると10分ほどは浮上してこないので頻繁に見ることはありませんでした。
ただドリンクのサービスもあるし船酔いもなかったのでクルージングを気持ちよく楽しめました!
海から見るワイキキの景色も良かったです♪

I participated on February 11. The weather was cloudy, there were strong winds at sea, and the air conditioning indoors made it quite cold. However, considering the low budget and that breakfast was included, I was satisfied. I was able to see whales multiple times, which was great. It took about 3 hours and 30 minutes from leaving the hotel to returning, so the schedule was easy to manage.
2月11日に参加しました。天候は曇りで、海上は強風、室内は冷房が効いていたので、実は寒かったです(@_@;)
しかしながら、低予算で朝食付きということもあり、満足しました。肝心のクジラを何度も見ることができましたので、良かったです。ホテルを出発して、戻ってくるまで3時間30分程度だったので、スケジュール的にも楽々でした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe whales.
