This was my fourth time whale watching. I got hooked on my first participation when I saw a whale jump, and now I join whale watching every time I go to Hawaii. The last three times, I only saw the back or nothing at all, which was a bit disappointing, but seeing that jump is the best. Since they are wild animals, it can't be helped. This time, I went on an early cruise without a meal, but I was able to participate very cheaply thanks to booking online, so that was great.
今回で、4回目ほどのウォッチングでした。
はじめての参加で、クジラがジャンプする姿を見てはまってしまい、ハワイに行くたびにホエールウォッチングに参加しています。後3回は、見えなかったり、背だけとかで、寂しい思いをしますが、あのジャンプが見えたら最高です。自然の生き物ですから、仕方がないです。
今回は、早めのクルーズで、食事なしでしたが、インターネットでの申込みをしてからの旅行で、とても安く参加する事が出来たので、良かったです。

Everyone should experience this tour sometime during their life. The memorial is a tragic, yet holy and beautiful tribute to our fallen military who died so suddenly on Dec. 7, 1941.
The tour operator was very informative and treated everyone like family. The downtown tour was full of history and tidbits shared by our driver, "Cousin Jerry", a full blooded older Hawaiian gentleman.

While I was moved by seeing the whale's blow and its back and tail for the first time, I didn't get to witness breaching or experience the true size of the whale. The timing in late December might not have been ideal. It might be better to go from late February after they give birth. If you're prone to seasickness, it's better to skip lunch. My wife ended up not eating anything. I think about 10-20% of the people couldn't eat. The buffet itself didn't have much in terms of food either.
初めて見たクジラのブロー(潮吹き)や、クジラの背中や尻尾には感動をしたものの、ブリーチング(ジャンプ)等は見られず、クジラの大きさを体感できるものではなかった。
12月下旬という時期がいまいちだったかもしれないかな。子供を産んでからの2月下旬からがお勧めかも。。
船に弱い方は、ランチ無しにした方がいいですよ。うちの奥さんは結局何も食べられなかった。1~2割くらいの人が食事できていなかったのではないかなぁ。ブッフェ自体の料理もそうたいした物は無かったですよ。
Thank you very much for participating in our whale watching cruise.
As you mentioned, the peak season for whales is from late January to February, so the number of whales may still be fewer compared to that time.
Were you able to receive the seasickness medication on board? We have a herbal remedy called ginger pills, so we recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take it when boarding. If you have the opportunity to join us again, please give it a try.

There were a lot of lines all night. From the moment we met the bus until the moment we got off. We had to wait to get in but fortunately a beverage was provided in that one. We had children who wanted to do many of the activities and they made sure you didn't miss them with a load conch call. This brought a huge crowd to see each event. My kids would not let us miss one. The bummer was the cove and location was beautiful and we didn't get a moment to take it all in as a family because one of us was in line the entire time. You should know that dinner is not served until after 7pm so make sure you have a late lunch. I wish I would of known that. Show was great but the many costume changes meant many slow intermission like moments all night. Not my favorite night.

The shaking was really intense, and it was tough. Also, I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales.
There are staff members who can explain in Japanese, but they don't translate the other explanations, which I thought was a bit unfriendly, especially since over 60% of the tourists were Japanese. (It might be understandable since it's a foreign country, though.)
たまたまなのか揺れがすごくて大変でした。
また、クジラは見えず、がっかりでした。

その他の説明部分を翻訳してくれるわけでもなく、
6割以上が日本人観光客であるにもかかわらずちょっと不親切かな、と思いました。

Thank you very much for participating in our whale watching tour.
Since it is a large boat, it usually doesn't sway much, but perhaps the weather was bad that day? As for the whales, since they are wild animals, it's difficult to predict when they will be seen, but the peak season is said to be from late January to February. On the 28th, about ten were confirmed, so they may have just been diving in the ocean that day.
I apologize for the unpleasant experience regarding the explanations in Japanese due to the shortage of Japanese-speaking staff.

We participated as a couple.
At first, since it was empty, I was worried, thinking, "Is this place okay?!" But in the end, it turned out to be just the right amount of crowded, and we had a great time! It lasted from around 10 AM to 2 PM, which was enough to enjoy everything. (There might be busier days, though...)
The most fun parts were the wave pool, Tornado, and Shaka. On other slides, we ended up sharing boats with foreign visitors, which naturally led to some nice little interactions.
I was worried because my partner can't swim and is not good with roller coasters, but it was reassuring to know that life jackets are available for free for those who can't swim (though some activities may not allow them). Unlike roller coasters, the slides only move by the natural force of gravity, which made my partner feel safe, and they enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
If I could wish for something, it would be for longer slides.
My sunburn hurts, but we made great memories!
カップルで参加してきました。
空いていたので、最初は、「ここ大丈夫か!?」と心配になりましたが、結果的には丁度良い混み具合になり、楽しかったです!
10時から14時くらいまででしたが、十分に遊びきれます。(もっと混雑する日もあるかもしれませんが・・・)
特に楽しかったのは、波のプールとトルネードとシャカです。他のスライダー等では、外国の方とボートが一緒になったりして、自然とちょっとしたコミュニケーションがとれたのもGOODでした。
相方が、「泳げない&ジェットコースターが苦手」なので心配していましたが、?泳げない人でも無料でライフジャケットがレンタル可能(使えないアクティビティあり)?ジェットコースターの乗り物と違って、スライダーは自然の力(重力)で動くだけ、という2点で安心できたようで、相方も存分に楽しんでいました。
欲を言えば、もっと長いスライダーがあればよかったかなぁと。
日焼けが痛いけど、良い思い出ができました!

I participated in the morning plan of the whale tour that started on the 15th. Since it was the first day, I thought we might not see any whales, but we were able to see them five times! One of those times was a close-up jump. During the times we didn't see any whales, the staff continuously engaged with us, taking photos and making us feel very welcomed. I thought the morning plan was great because the air is clear and cool, allowing us to focus on searching for whales.

I participated on December 2nd. The weather was nice, but it was a bit cold with strong winds, so I ended up retiring from swimming partway through.
The pool attractions were really unique, and it was my first time on a thrilling water slide! I had a lot of fun!! However, I was a bit disappointed that the staff seemed low-energy and weren't smiling, which made the atmosphere feel a bit dull...
I thought it might be more enjoyable with a large group having fun together.

I participated on December 3, 2010. The meeting place was mentioned in the email as "the entrance of the Hyatt Regency," but I wasn't quite sure where that was. It would be helpful if you could attach a map.
Well, I was picked up safely and arrived at the location, but since it was a weekday, the park was less crowded than I had imagined, and it had a relaxed, local vibe.
My child is in elementary school and isn't fond of extreme attractions, so we mainly enjoyed the Hawaiian Waters Wave Pool, Keiki Cove, and Kapolei Cooler (which opened at 12:30).
It was sunny, but the wind was strong, making it feel quite a bit colder. Depending on the season, I recommend bringing a long-sleeved shirt.
I chose not to include meals, but the hamburgers and pizza we had at the food court were decent. Since it felt cold, we ended up spending a lot of time warming up, but just watching the FlowRider was quite enjoyable.
So, unlike others, we were able to enjoy a pretty relaxed atmosphere.
2010年12月3日の参加です。
メールで集合場所が「ハイアットリージェンシーの入り口」ということでしたが、今一よくわかりませんでした。地図を添付して頂けると助かります。
さて無事にピックアップされ現地へ到着したのですが、平日ということもあってか、想像していたよりも園内は空いており、ローカル系の、のんびりムードでした。
子供は小学生ですが過激系?のものが苦手で、ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・ウェーブ・プール 、ケイキ・コーブ、カポレイ・クーラー(12:30からでしたが)を主に利用しました。
快晴でしたが、風が強く、体感温度がかなり低く感じました。時期にもよるでしょうが、長袖を一枚持っていくことをお勧めします。
食事なしを選択したのですが、フードコートで食べたハンバーガー、ピザもそこそこでした。
寒く感じたことで、体を温めている時間が長くなってしまったのですが、ダ・フローライダーを見ているだけでも結構楽しめます。
ということで、他の方とは違い、結構のんびりムードで楽しめました。

This was our second time attending the Paradise Cove Luai. It was nice seeing, hearing, and experiencing a Christmas theme to the evening. Two items, the evening seemed rushed, there was not enough time between activities to truely enjoy the evening - our bus arrived, dropped us off, and the race was on... we did not get to participate in all of the pre-show activities. The second was the food was okay, but not what I would consider great - which is why the value rating dropped to so-so.

I participated with my two children, and before signing up, I read experiences from others who said that it was enough without meals, so we opted for entry with transportation only. The kids loved the wave pool and kept saying they wanted to play there all day! Choosing not to include meals was definitely the right decision. When the wave pool turned into a bodyboarding lesson, we had hot dogs and pizza for lunch, which was just the right amount for the three of us. We also went to the lazy river, but it might be boring without tubes. I previously visited a similar water park in Saipan, but this one was so much more fun, and above all, the water was clean! It has become a place I want to visit again next time.
子ども2人と参加しましたが、申し込みをする前に体験談を読んで食事なしで十分!という方がいたので、送迎付きの入場のみにしました。
子どもは波のプールが気に入ってしまい、ずっと遊んでいたい!と言うので食事なしで大正解。
波のプールがボディボードのレッスンになった時にホットドッグとピザで昼ご飯にしましたが、3人でちょうど良い量でした。
流れるプールにも行きましたが、チューブがないとつまらないかも。
以前サイパンで同じようなウォーターパークに行きましたが、比べものにならないほどに楽しかったし、何よりも水がキレイでした!
次回も訪れたい場所になりました。

This was my first time visiting Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. Unlike pools in Japan, there are many attractions, and I was very satisfied that I could enjoy myself all day long. It's great for couples, friends, and especially for families since there are plenty of attractions for kids as well.
Personally, I recommend the Tornado and Shaka for thrill rides. Your body floats in the air for a moment before rushing down the slide. You have to carry the inner tubes to the entrance yourself, which can be quite physically demanding, especially for women.
The wait times for each attraction are relatively short, so you can ride smoothly. Just be aware that the attractions switch every 30 minutes, so keep that in mind.
In conclusion, I had a great time overall, and I encourage everyone to give it a try. I would love to go back again.
今回初めてウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイへ参加しました。日本のプールなどと違って、たくさんのアトラクションがあり、一日中楽しむことができて、大変満足です。カップルでいってもよし、友達同士でいってもよし、なんといっても、子ども用のアトラクションもたくさんあり、家族で行くのも最高だと思いました。
私個人のお勧めとしては、絶叫系としてはトルネード、シャカがよかったです。体が一瞬宙に浮き、一気に下流へ駆け抜けていきます。
浮き輪を自分で入口まで運ばないといけないので結構体力を使います。女性だけだと大変かもしれません。
一つのアトラクションに乗るのに、待ち時間は少なく、スムーズに乗ることができると思います。ただ30分ごとに入場できるアトラクションが切り替わるので注意が必要です。
最後になりますが、全体的にとても楽しめたので、みなさんもぜひ参加してみてください。また行ってみたいと思いました。

I had made a reservation at the beginning of March, right on Tsunami Day, but there was no contact at all, and it was canceled. I ended up waiting for over an hour at the pickup location while continuously trying to call (but couldn't get through), which was a disaster. Thanks to Alan's efforts, I was able to participate the next day, but everything before the show (like tree climbing and canoeing), the show itself, and the meals were all quite mediocre... It felt lacking in focus, or perhaps just scattered... I was looking forward to the hula, but the hula at the Tokiwa Hawaiian Center was much better... The negative impression might also be because it was extremely cold... The seaside location is a selling point, but that also means the wind is strong, and it got quite chilly once the sun went down. I won't be going again, but for those who do, I recommend being well-prepared for the cold depending on the season.
3月はじめ、まさに津波の日に予約していましたが、まったく連絡なくキャンセルに。ピックアップ場所で1時間以上も待ちながら電話をかけつづける(つながらない)という大惨事に。アラン1さんのご尽力もあり、次の日にずらして参加できましたが、ショーの前のいろいろなイベント(木登りとか、カヌーとか・・・)、ショー、食事、すべてが微妙でした・・・ メリハリがないというか、散漫というか・・・ フラを楽しみにしていましたが、常磐ハワイアンセンターのフラのほうがよっぽどよかった・・・。印象がよくないのは、とにかくめちゃめちゃ寒かったからかも・・・。海辺のロケーションが売りなわけですが、それだけに風も強いし、日が落ちるとかなり寒かったです。私はもう行きませんが、行かれる方は、季節によって防寒対策をしっかりしていくことをおすすめします。

During my trip to Hawaii for New Year's, I went on a whale watching tour with the Star of Honolulu. I thought it would be great because even if we didn't see any whales, we could still enjoy it as a regular cruise. We did see a mother and baby whale in the distance, but it was disappointing that we couldn't see them up close or witness any jumps. However, I understand that they keep their distance for whale protection. On the boat, there was a lei-making class, which was fun. It's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

The sandbar was really beautiful!! I definitely think you should go! I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was amazing. I thought there would only be English-speaking staff, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt reassured.
It was my first time snorkeling, and I was moved by how many beautiful fish I saw. Also, it was great that we had time to practice in a shallow area where we could stand before going into the deeper water. After getting out of the sea, it was quite cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a larger bath towel or something to cover your body.

We participated as a family.
Instead of taking a bus tour, we headed to the venue by rental car, but we ended up being late due to traffic on both the local roads and the highway. Although my English is not very good, I wanted to inform them that we would be arriving late, so I tried calling and was able to speak with a staff member who understood Japanese. We were about an hour late, but we were able to enter the venue without any issues.
As I read in other experiences, there were no other Japanese people besides us. Most of the men were wearing aloha shirts, and the women were in muumuu dresses.
Before the show started, there was an introduction to the traditional culture of the islands, and the atmosphere gradually built up. Around 6:30 PM, the Hawaiian band started performing on the stone bench stage, followed by dance performances and a presentation of the food. At 7:00 PM, we enjoyed a buffet dinner while the main stage show began. The singing, dancing, and fire show were all wonderful, and we truly enjoyed Hawaii. After the powerful Polynesian dance, those who wanted to join went up on stage and danced energetically, which was very entertaining.
The food was not very tasty. As someone who struggles with English, I wondered what the delicious-looking drink with fruit that others were having was, but I couldn't figure it out from the drink menu, so I ended up ordering a Corona beer. I had some drink tickets left over.
Despite the language barrier, it was a very satisfying experience, and my whole family had a great time. I definitely want to participate again on our next trip, but this time I would like to join a bus tour. I heard that there is heavy traffic in the evenings, so I recommend that those driving allow plenty of time before departure.

私たちはバスツアーではなく、レンタカーで現地に向かいましたが、下道もハイウェイも渋滞で遅刻参加になってしまいました。

ステージが始まる前に、民族の伝統文化の紹介などがあり、少しずつ盛り上がってきました。
18:30くらいから石のベンチのステージでハワイアンバンドの演奏が始まり、ダンスや、料理の紹介があり、19:00からはビュッフェディナーをいただきながら、メインステージでのショーが始まりました。
歌、ダンス、ファイアーショー、どれもすばらしく、ハワイを堪能できました。
迫力のポリネシアンダンスの後は、希望者がステージに上がり、ノリノリでダンスをしてとてもおもしろかったです。
料理は美味しい物はありませんでした。

I wasn't sure what Sandbar would be like, but it was simply beautiful.
The early morning plan had fewer participants, so it became a recommendation, but it turned out well. The reason is that you need to be prepared for the cold in the morning.
According to the locals, it gets cold after October, so it's not highly recommended.
We were fortunate with the weather, but recently in Hawaii, there has been a lot of rain, so be prepared for disappointing weather...
The clear sea under the blue sky is the best!

On the way, it was raining, but it cleared up perfectly at the destination, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow.
Furthermore, shortly after the boat departed, a group of about 100 dolphins greeted us, and we were able to see many of them both from the boat and underwater. The staff were very considerate, ensuring that pregnant participants like me and those with children didn't overexert themselves, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. We quickly bonded with the cheerful and friendly staff.
After snorkeling, they kept us entertained by drawing cute flowers and dolphins on our arms with pens and even danced the hula. Both my partner and I are vegetarians, and they accommodated us by preparing the hamburgers in a vegetarian style, making it a truly satisfying tour.
I highly recommend this for beginners, families, and solo travelers alike!
夫婦で初参加しました。
朝早い集合だったので起きられるかドキドキしましたが、丁寧なモーニングコールをいただいて遅刻せずに参加できました。
この日は行きのバスでは雨が降っていましたが現地ではばっちり晴れてくれて、虹まで観えてラッキーでした。
さらに船が出発してからすぐ100頭程のイルカの群れが出迎えてくれて、船の上からも水中からもたくさん観る事が出来ました。
妊婦の私やお子さん連れの参加者へも無理しないようにと細やかな気遣いをしっかりしてくださり、とても安心して楽しむ事ができました。陽気でフレンドリーなスタッフさん達とすぐに打ち解ける事ができました。
シュノーケリングが終わってからも飽きさせないように、腕にペンでカワイイお花やイルカを書いてくれたり、フラを踊ってくれたり楽しませてくれました。
夫婦とも菜食なのですが、ハンバーガーをベジタリアン仕様にして下さるなど本当に大満足なツアーとなりました。
初心者・家族・ひとり、どんな方にもとてもオススメです!

I participated on January 22, 2010.
(I forgot to upload the photos, so I'm reposting.)
I chose this tour because the catamaran Navatek can go to areas where regular cruise ships cannot, minimizing the swaying and increasing the chances of observation.
Right after departure, there was an announcement saying, "You can observe whale spouts at 3 o'clock." I started to feel restless and couldn't leisurely enjoy my lunch anymore. So, I quickly went out to the deck.
Once a whale is spotted, the captain usually aligns the boat at 12 o'clock, making it very easy to observe. Since whales are protected, there is a rule that we cannot approach within 100 meters. However, it's okay if the whale approaches us, so we turn off the boat's engine to observe.
On this day, the whales were very active, and I was able to see a lot of tail slapping and fluking. Whenever I thought I saw a spout, they would do it. Also, they breached right in front of us just once. I was so excited!! They jumped out of the water completely, and the sound of the splashes was powerful and amazing. I was truly moved.
Thanks to this experience, I felt really glad to have participated!
On this day, there were 2 to 3 whales in the group that the Navatek was observing. I could also see spouts from the Star of Honolulu in the distance, so it seemed like there were really many whales in this area.

カタマランのナバテック号だったら、揺れが少なく、通常のクルーズ船では行けない海域まで行けるということで、観測率を上げるためにこのツアーを選びました。
出港してすぐに「3時の方向でクジラの潮吹きが観測できます~。」とのアナウンス。
私はソワソワしてきてしまって、のんきにランチをしているわけにはいかなくなりました。ということで、すぐにデッキに出ました。
クジラが見つかると、基本的には船長さんが12時の方向に照準を合わせてくれるので、とても観測しやすいです。
クジラは保護されているので、100m以内に近づくことはできない決まりです。が、クジラの方から近づいてくるのはOKってことで、船のエンジンを切って観測する形になります。
この日はクジラがアクティブに動いていて、テイルスラップやフルーキングをする姿をたくさん見ることが出来ました。潮吹きしてるなぁって思うとやります。
それから、1回だけですが目の前でブリーチングまでしてくれました。もう大興奮です!!水面に全身を出して、豪快なジャンプ~~。水しぶきの音も迫力があって素晴らしかったです。すごく、感動しました。
お陰で、心から参加して良かったなと思いました!
なお、この日はナバテック号が照準を合わせていたクジラだけでも2~3頭の群れ。遠くにいるスターオブホノルルのところでも潮吹きが見えてたので、本当にたくさんのクジラがこの海域にいたようです。

My friends and I love thrill rides, so we had a great time. It was nice that we didn't have to wait in long lines for our turn. The wave pool, in particular, had intense waves that were scary at first, but once we got used to it, we had so much fun that we could have stayed there forever.
私も友達も絶叫系が大好きなので、とても楽しめました。
あまり並ばずに順番が回ってきたので良かったです。
特に波の出るプールは激しい波で最初は怖かったですが、慣れてくるとずっといても飽きないほど楽しかったです。

My husband & I were coming to Oahu, Hawaii for the first time. He is a certified scuba diver, but hadn't done any snorkel or scuba for years. We wanted to do a snorkel trip, since he enjoys it. I had never snorkeled, & from the reviews I read, I thought this trip would be enjoyable for both of us.
We had a lot of fun - on the boat, in the water, talking with the crew & fellow "snorkelers." It is a great trip for beginners - you get good instruction & practice before you are taken to a coral reef.
Bonus: we got to see several Green Turtles on our way to the reef. We would do this trip again!

Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. When the whales are active, you can really see some magnificent jumps. We hope you get to see those jumps on your next opportunity. All of our staff are looking forward to your return.

この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
鯨がアクティブな時は、本当に見事なジャンプが見れますよね。
またの機会があれば、そのジャンプが見られると良いですね。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
