Oahu
While my child was playing alone, a local child came over and played together with them a lot! Although some areas closed due to the strong wind, the slides and kids' area were well-equipped, and there were about three staff members in each area, which made me feel safe.
子どもが1人で遊んでいたら、現地の子が声をかけてくれて、たくさん一緒に遊んでくれました!
風が強くて、途中からクローズしてしまった所もありましたが、滑り台もキッズエリアも充実していて、監視員さんが1エリアに3人くらいいて安心です。
I decided to go whale watching at my father's request. After comparing several tours, I chose this one. The whale watching tours offer small, medium, and large boats, and I opted for the large boat this time due to concerns about seasickness. I wondered if I would get seasick, but I didn't at all. I was worried because the guide only spoke English, but even I, who don't understand English at all, was able to enjoy it! There were many whales, and I was moved to see more than I had imagined. The boat has four levels, and I enjoyed the different views from each floor. I also appreciated the shuttle service to the boat.
父の希望でホエールウォッチングに行くことに。
何個かのツアーと比較して、こちらに決定。
ホエールウォッチングのツアーには小型船、中型船、大型船とあり、こちらは大型船のツアー。
今回は船酔いを心配して大型にしました。
船酔いするかな?と思ったけど、全然そんなことありませんでした。
ガイドは英語のみなので心配しましたが、英語をまったく理解出来ない私でも楽しめました!
クジラもたくさん来ていて、想像以上にたくさんのクジラを見ることが出来て感動。
こちらの船は1階から4階まであって、それぞれの階で見たのですが、見え方が違ってそれも楽しめました。
船までの送迎があるのもありがたかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your father. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe many whales during your long-awaited whale watching experience. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお父様とお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。 念願のホエールウォッチだったとゆうことで、今回沢山のクジラをご観測頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Overall, the experience was awesome! Tyson and the whole crew are wonderful, extremely kind, and helpful. The boat was clean, and I felt safe. The team went above and beyond to make the sandbar and snorkeling a blast!
I have participated before, but the sandbar wasn't very prominent, and it was disappointing because it looked different from the photos... I wonder if it was the wrong time of day...
前にも参加したことあるのですが、サンドバーがあまり出ていなくて、写真と違うので残念でした…時間帯が悪かったのかな…
this was really fun with a lot of photo ops during, we loved this day to explore the gorgeous valley of Kualoa!
Delish dinner with great view points out your window the whole night!
Quick easy pick up and drop off, the tour guide does not go in the park with you however!
Lots of new things learned at my stop to the Pearl Harbor grounds! The tour guide as well detailed a lot of useful information to and from the grounds
First of all, for those going in March, it can get really cold when the wind blows, so I highly recommend bringing hotel towels. As someone from a competitive swimming background, I regret only bringing a swim towel (laughs).
Also, lunch options are really limited to a simple slice of pizza or a hot dog, which might not be enough for adults. However, you can only bring one unopened bottle of water into the park, so there's not much you can do about that. You don't need to rent a cabana since there are free shaded chair areas available, so I think it's fine to skip that option. But if you're not going right when the park opens, it might be safer to rent one. Most tours include transportation and arrive before the park opens, so you can usually secure a spot anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much (laughs).
Also, not all attractions are open, so be careful about that. Flip-flops are recommended over water shoes. (However, since you ride attractions barefoot, if you're worried about walking on hot surfaces, aqua shoes are a good option.)
Additionally, each attraction has height restrictions, and while most of the time they don't measure you, sometimes there are staff members (those in polo shirts, wearing beige shorts and holding walkie-talkies) at the attractions who will measure your height strictly, and if you're even a little short, they won't hesitate to let you off (laughs). When I went with my first-grade daughter, the first time we got on was smooth because it was a part-time worker who didn't measure her height, but the second time, we got caught by that staff member and she was let off for being slightly short. Even when I explained it was our second time, it didn't help.
There is a small pool for little kids, but even though it says "Not Ice," it's still pretty cold (laughs). There’s also a mini water slide, but you generally have to go down alone, so kids who can't slide by themselves might just find it cold. The prices are definitely not cheap, so I don't think we'll go back for a second visit. There are coin lockers available for free access, but they cost between $15 and $20, and while there are showers, they only have cold water. You might as well think that there are no hot showers anywhere in Hawaii. Given that, I think the pool might be a bit harsh for small children.
まず、3月に行く方は風が吹くとめちゃ寒いため、必ずホテルのタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。競泳出身者なので、セームのみ持っていったことに後悔(笑)
また、昼食は本当に簡易的なピザ1ピースかホットドッグのため、大人は物足りないかも。ただ、園内への持ち込みは、未開封の水1本なので仕方ないかな。ガバナは借りなくても無料の日陰付きのチェアエリアに行けるので選択しなくても良いと思います。ただ、オープンと同時に行く人で無いなら借りておいた方が無難。でも、大抵こういったツアーは送迎付きでオープン前には現地についているので、大抵は場所取り出来るのでやっぱり心配ないかな(笑)また、アトラクションは全てやっているわけではないので注意。マリンシューズよりもビーサンの方がおすすめ。(でも、裸足でアトラクションには乗るので、歩く場所が裸足で暑くて心配な方はアクアシューズがおすすめ。)
あとは、それぞれのアトラクションには身長制限があって、大抵は測られないで行けるんだけど、たまに本部の人?(ポロシャツ着て、ベージュの短パン履いてトランシーバー持っている人)がアトラクションに居ると、めっちゃしっかり身長測られて少しでも足りないと容赦なく降ろされます(笑)小1娘と乗ったときも、一回目はバイトのお兄ちゃんだったからか何も身長測られずすんなり乗れたのに、2回目はその人に捕まって少し身長が足りないからと降ろされた。2回目だと言うことを伝えても無理でした。
後は、小さい子には小さい子用のプールがあるけど、「Not Ice」って書いてあるけど普通に寒い(笑)また、ミニウォータースライダーがあるけど、基本的には1人で滑らないといけないから、逆に1人で滑れない子はただただ寒いだけかも。値段も決して安くないし、2回目はないかな。コインロッカーはあって出し入れ自由だけど15ドル~20ドルが必要なのと、シャワーはあるけど水のみです。むしろ、ハワイで温水シャワーなんてどこも無いと思った方が良いかも。そうなると、やはり小さい子には酷なプールかなと思います。
I printed the voucher and headed to the reception desk, where the check-in process went smoothly without any issues. At the desk, I installed the QR code for the Japanese guide, and I was informed about the start time of the Japanese guided tour and where to wait. Although all the information was provided in English, it was explained in a way that was easy to understand, even for someone like me who struggles with English.
The Japanese guide was supposed to last 30 minutes, but it ended up being 45 minutes, allowing me to learn about Hawaii's history in an easy-to-understand manner. The exhibits were wonderful and very impressive. In particular, the decorations on the capes and hats used bird feathers, and it was interesting to learn that these birds are already extinct.
I believe the prices from Veltra were probably discounted advance purchase rates, which were much cheaper than the regular prices, and that was a great help. If you're interested in Hawaii's history, I definitely recommend visiting.
バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。
日本語での案内は30分間とありましたが、45分間案内されハワイの歴史などわかりやすく勉強することができました。
展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。
ハワイの歴史に興味のある方是非訪れてください。
Thank you for your visit! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the museum. We also appreciate your comments! Please feel free to stop by again if you have the opportunity. Aloha!
今回のご来館、ありがとうございました!ミュージアムをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたらこちらも嬉しい限りです。こちらへのコメントもありがとうございました!また機会がありましたらお立ち寄りください。Aloha!
We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...
Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.
Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!
I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!
親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。
「スノーケリングやったことある人?」とか、色々お客さんに聞いてるんですが、
イマイチ理解出来ない。
ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。
ボートから海へ降りた時、足がつかないことにパニックになっている男の子がいたんですが(もちろんライフベストは着用していました)
ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う?」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。
あとは船酔い!
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね!
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです!
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。
最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び!
どなたかのコメントで「現金はいらない」と書かれてあったので持って行かなかったのですが、
持って行けば良かったです。
私達親子のお世話をよくしてくれたTitthaにチップを渡せなかったのが残念です。
Thank you Tittha!!
The umbrellas near the changing room are free, and they provide good shade, so I recommend them. There are paid ones further in, but they let in sunlight, and the restrooms are quite a distance away, so the free ones are more than enough!
The attractions are not too scary, and even elementary school kids can enjoy them. The area is not as large as I expected, making it easy to navigate. It was not crowded, so we were able to ride multiple times, and the kids seemed to be having a great time going around in groups.
更衣室付近のパラソルは無料で日差しも入って来なかったしオススメ。奥に有料もあるが日差しも入ってくるしトイレも色々と距離があったし、無料で十分!
アトラクションはどれも怖すぎず、小学生でもいける。
思っていたより広くなく、回りやすい。
空いてるいたので何度も乗ることができ、子どもたちはグループで回っている子が多く楽しそうだった。
This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.
We saw humpback whale was breathing from the upper deck. Captain and the crew did a great job to trace the whale after the first sight. Good experience and learned a lot about humpback whale.
I was able to see not only dolphins and sea turtles but also whales up close, which was a valuable experience. The crew members were all very friendly, and I truly had a great time.
When the sun was blocked by clouds, it felt quite chilly, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a light jacket. Also, since the boat swayed quite a bit, I recommend being well-prepared with motion sickness remedies to enjoy the experience fully.
イルカやウミガメの他に、クジラも生で見ることが出来て、貴重な経験が出来ました。
クルーの方々も気さくな方ばかりで、本当に楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
雲で陽が遮られると結構肌寒く感じたので、羽織物を準備しておいたほうがいいと思います。
また船の揺れが結構大きいので酔い止め対策はしっかりと準備したほうが楽しめると思います。
Joined morning whale watching cruise by Star of Honolulu. The cruise started from detailed explanation of naturist, and my sons enjoyed listening to the facts about humpback whales before actually seeing it afterwards.
We saw the whale right after departing the port and captain maneuver the ship very well so that we could chase and see the whale several times. Unfortunately the whale was not so entertaining this time and we couldn’t see live actions like tail slap or bleaching.
Still we’ve enjoyed the whale watching including the hospitality of the clue.
Good to know they will give another chance for free if you cannot see whale during the cruise.
Great experience for winter Hawaii visit!
It was a comfortable cruise, possibly due to the large ship, as my wife, who easily gets seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, didn't feel any nausea at all. There were times when I could feel the ship swaying up and down, but we were so engrossed in searching for whale spouts that it was completely fine. For those who are anxious, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding. During our whale search, although they were far away, we were able to see the spouts, dorsal fins, and parts of the bodies multiple times, which was very satisfying. It was impressive to see them seemingly jump as well. The captain and the female tour guide had such warm personalities that it felt great from the morning greeting. The peppermint rain we received when we got off was so delicious that I wish they would sell it. It was such a fulfilling experience that I even thought about going again the next day. From my husband's perspective, the power of the planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport was incredible, allowing us to enjoy both at once, which was the best. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.
まずは酔い止めを飲んでも酔いやすい妻がまったく船酔いしなかったくらい、大型船というのもあったのか快適なクルーズでした。時には上下に揺れてるなという感覚はあるけどクジラの潮吹き探しに夢中になり全然大丈夫だったとのことです。不安な方は酔い止めを飲んでから乗った方がもちろん良いと思います。そのクジラ探しでは遠くではあったものの何度も潮吹きからの尾ビレや一部のボディも見れて大満足でした。ジャンプまでしたように見えたのが印象的でした。キャプテンも添乗員の女性の方も人柄が滲み出ていて朝の挨拶から気持ちよかったです。降りる時にいただいたハッカの雨がとても美味しくて販売して欲しいなとなってます。めちゃくちゃ充実していたので次の日も行こうと思ったくらいです。夫の私的には近くの飛行場から離着陸する飛行機の迫力も凄まじく一度に二つ楽しめて最高でした。次回ハワイに来た時も必ず行かせていただきます。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. It was truly wonderful to see the spouts multiple times. We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。何度も潮吹きなどが見れて本当に良かったですね。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Since it was a tour just for transportation, I participated in a tour without Japanese language support. There were no issues as a result. I was able to return around noon, so I had a meaningful day!
送迎だけのツアーなので日本語なしのツアーに参加しました。結果問題なしです。
昼ぐらいには帰ってこれますので一日有意義に過ごせました!
Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.
On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.
The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.
Although it was from a distance, I was really satisfied to see a whale for the first time.
There were several whale watching boats, but I think it was a good choice to select the Star of Honolulu, as the smaller boats tend to sway quite a bit.
遠目ではありましたが初めてクジラを見れてすごく満足でした
数隻ホエールウォッチングの船がありましたが小さい船は結構揺れるのでスターオブホノルル号を選択して良かったと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

I went for the first time and was very satisfied!
The guide spoke Japanese, so I felt very secure participating in the tour!
There were many types of slides, and the kids were delighted!
初めて行ってきまし、とても満足しました!
案内の方が日本語が話せるので、とても安心してツアーに参加する事が出来ました!
スライダーの種類も沢山あり、子供達も喜んでいました!
I was a bit disappointed because there were hardly any fish. The scenery is beautiful and the water is clear. However, if you're expecting to see a lot of fish at Hanauma Bay, it doesn't make sense to go since there are almost none. There may have been many in the past, but now...
Waiting for a long time to enter and paying a high admission fee just to catch a glimpse of a few fish here and there isn't worth it. The rental equipment is clean, even if it's reused, and the driver was nice. However, being crammed into a car with other guests isn't comfortable, and if there are no fish to see, it raises the question of the tour's value. I think the decrease in tours to Hanauma Bay is due to its diminishing appeal. Still, I believe it's great that such tours exist for those who really want to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.
少しがっかりなのは、ずばり魚がほとんどいないから。
風光明媚でお水も綺麗。
でもハナウマ湾にはたくさんのお魚を期待していくのであれば、お魚がほぼいないので、行く意味がずれます。
昔はたくさんいたのでしょうが、今は…。
ちらほらたまに見かける程度のお魚をちらっと見るために、長時間入場を待たされ、高い入場料は払い、というのは見合いません。
レンタル品は使いまわしとはいえ清潔感もあり、ドライバーさんも良い方。
でもゲストがギュウギュウに詰められた車は居心地は良くなく、お目当てのお魚がいないのであれば参加意義は?となってしまいそうです。
ハナウマ湾のツアーが減っているのは、魅力が減ってきてるからだと思いました。
それでもどうしてもハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングをしたい方のために、こういったツアーがあるのはありがたいのだと思います。
I chose this tour as a relatively inexpensive way to get to Hanauma, which has become difficult to access individually due to the lack of bus services and difficulty in making reservations.
Although the guide did not speak any Japanese, as long as you confirm the departure location and time from Hanauma, you'll be fine. Before arriving at Hanauma, we made a stop at a scenic viewpoint where we collected the entrance fee of $25 per person.
After that, we lined up until the designated entrance time, received snorkeling gear, and the guide informed us of the meeting location and time before leaving. A representative from the participants paid the entrance fees for everyone, and after a brief explanation of Hanauma and an 8-minute video, we were free to explore until we disbanded.
We enjoyed snorkeling and saw a lot of fish in the rocky areas. If you understand even a little English, this tour is very fulfilling to participate in.
なかなか予約も取れず、バスもない、個人では行き難くなったハナウマに比較的安く行く方法として、このツアーを選びました。
全く日本語は通じないガイドさんの送迎ツアーですが、ハナウマからの出発場所と時間さえしっかり確認しておけば、大丈夫です。
ハナウマ到着前に見晴らしの良い場所で途中下車した際に、ハナウマ入場料$25/人を集めました。
その後指定されたハナウマ入場時間迄並び、シュノーケル用具を渡され、そこでガイドは集合場所と時間を伝えて一旦帰りました。参加者代表の人が全員分の入場料を支払い入場、ハナウマ利用説明と8分間のビデオ視聴のあと各自解散まで自由に行動しました。
私達はシュノーケリングを楽しみました。岩のある場所では本当に沢山の魚が見られました。
少しでも英語が解るなら、充実に参加可能なツアーでした。
Although it was only in English, the staff greeted us with smiles and used easy-to-understand words, so there was no problem.
The snorkeling equipment was also clean, and we had a great time. Thank you! ♪
英語のみでしたが、スタッフさんはわかりやすい単語で笑顔で接してくださいましたので、問題ありませんでした。
シュノーケリングの道具なども綺麗で、とても楽しめました。
ありがとうございました♪
This was a great tour full of information and great experiences. I would highly recommend this tour to others.
I went in March. I was able to see the small whale's tail and back. Since the boat was not crowded, I could move around freely, and it was comfortable with little rocking, which was great.
3月に行きました。小さい鯨の尾鰭や背中が見れました。船の中では、空いていたこともあり、自由に動き回ることができましたし、揺れも少なく快適で良かったです。
アロハ!
アトランティスクルーズのマジェスティック号での素晴らしい冒険についてお聞きできて嬉しいです。多くの人が見ることのできないオアフの一部を探検できたことを楽しんでいただけたようで、驚くべき海洋生物を見られたことに興奮しています!それは本当に一生に一度の体験で、少数の人しか目にすることができません。私たちのクルーがあなたを大切にしてくれたことを聞いて嬉しいです。彼らにあなたのコメントを必ず伝えます。私たちとあなたの体験を共有していただき、アロハの精神に参加していただきありがとうございます。将来的に、私たちの潜水艦やアトランティスクルーズのマジェスティック号で再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。もう一度アトランティスの冒険、つまり水中の旅、サンセットクルーズ、または季節のクジラ観察クルーズをお楽しみください。ぜひ、#atlantishawaiiで私たちをソーシャルメディアでフォローしてください。アフイホウ(次回まで)。
Aloha !
What an amazing adventure aboard the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed exploring a part of Oahu that most people don’t get to see and are excited you saw some astonishing marine life! That is truly a lifetime experience only few can witness. We're also happy to hear our crew took great care of you. We’ll be sure to share your comments with them. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and taking part in the Aloha spirit. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).
I encountered many whales and even saw a few dolphins, making it a very satisfying tour. When whales or dolphins appear, the staff will guide you on their direction, so I think it's hard to miss them. However, there is only one restroom available, so it's best to take care of that before boarding for peace of mind. Since it's a morning tour, it's also nice that you can schedule activities for the afternoon. (The departure point is near Aloha Tower, so exploring after disembarking is a good idea.)
沢山のクジラと出会えました。また、少しですがイルカも見れて大満足のツアーでした。クジラやイルカが現れた時にはスタッフの方が方角を教えてくれるので、見逃すことも少ないと思います。
ただ、トイレが1箇所しか無いので、乗船前に済ませておいた方が安心です。
午前中のツアーなので、昼からも予定が入れられるのも良いと思います。(発着場所が、アロハタワーの近くですので、下船後に探索するのもいいと思います。)
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale and dolphin watching, as well as the views from the boat. It was truly lucky to see so many! We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

My first whale watching experience!
I happened to visit Hawaii during the season when whales can be seen, so I thought it was a rare opportunity and joined a tour.
About 20-30 minutes after boarding, we were able to see whales right away! The view is great from the upper deck, but since it's a bit far away, I recommend watching from the lower deck for a closer look. While we couldn't get extremely close, I was very moved to see a whale in person for the first time! The sea breeze was pleasant, and the whole experience of being on the boat was enjoyable.
初のホエールウォッチング!
たまたま鯨を見れる時期にハワイを訪れたので、なかなかない機会だと思いツアーに参加しました。
乗船してから20-30分ぐらいですぐに鯨を見ることができました!上の階だと見晴らしは良いですが、少し距離があるので、下の階でより近くで見るのがおすすめです。かなり近い距離とはいきませんが、生の鯨を初めて見られてとても感動しました!潮風も気持ちよく、乗船自体も楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise for your first whale watching experience. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed observing the whales. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は初のホエールウォッチングとして私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測をお楽しみいただいた様子で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything since I participated in late March, but shortly after we set sail, a whale appeared! It spouted water and I was able to see its tail as well. However, it was a small whale and it was just a brief moment.
After that, there were a couple of brief appearances of small whales in the first half, but they were really just for an instant. In the second half, we didn't see anything at all, which left a feeling of disappointment.
Still, I’m glad I got to see a whale, even if just once in my life. If you imagine a big whale spouting water or slapping its large tail on the surface of the sea, you might end up feeling like, "Is that all there is?"
3月下旬に参加のため、見られるのか心配していたものの、出航して間もなく、くじらが現れてくれました。潮を吹いて、尾っぽも見ることが出来ました。しかし、小さなクジラで一瞬の出来事でした。
その後、前半に2回くらい小さなクジラが一瞬現れてくれたものの、本当に一瞬でした。後半は全く見られず、尻すぼみ感がありました。
それでも、一生に一度でもクジラを見られて良かったです。
大きな鯨が現れて潮を吹いてくれるとか、大きな尻尾を海水面に叩きつけるとか想像を膨らませて参加すると、そんなもんか〜という感想になるかもしれません。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching. We hope to see you again. It would be great if you could see them up close next time. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。次回は近くで見ることができれば良いですね。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I participated in early March.
I had a great time on a cruise overlooking the coast of Hawaii.
Since you never know where the whales will appear, we only saw them for a moment, but we were able to see a whale's tail and it spouting water. The captain worked hard to adjust the boat's position so we could see the whales.
The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking, but I think it would be reassuring to take motion sickness medication. Also, it was windy and cold on the water, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket. It was chilly in short sleeves.
3月上旬に参加しました。
ハワイの沿岸部を眺めるクルーズで楽しく過ごすことができました。
クジラはどこに出るかわからないので、見えたのは一瞬でしたが、私達はクジラのしっぽと潮吹きしているところを見ることができました。船長ががんばってクジラが見えるように船の位置を調整してくれていました。
船は大きいので、そこまで揺れが強いとは感じませんでしたが、酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心かなと思います。また、海の上は風が強く寒いので、長袖の上着を持っていくのがおすすめです。半袖だと寒かったです。
