Oahu
It took about 20 minutes by taxi from Hokulani Waikiki to get there, costing $35 with HANA Taxi. On the way back, it was also $35 to Ala Moana Shopping Center. Since we arrived too early, we sat on a bench and found free Wi-Fi. We flew with JAL this time, so the Rainbow Trolley didn't stop at the Bishop Museum, and I reserved a taxi for the return trip, but it would have been better not to. This is because there was a café called Café Leria, and there were many other things to see. The three-story building had an elevator, so my elderly mother was able to tour it. The guide was an older lady named Noriko, who briefly introduced various plant names and showed us around the museum. I was clumsy with the lauhala weaving, so Noriko helped me, but my 85-year-old mother was able to make it on her own.
行きはホクラニワイキキからタクシーで20分ほどHANAタクシーで35$、帰りはアラモアナショッピングセンターまで35$。早く着きすぎたので、ベンチに座っていたら無料のWi-Fiがありました。今回JALでしたのでレインボートロリー、ビショップミュージアムにはとまらないので帰りもタクシー予約しましたが、HANAタクシーはLINEで日本語で来てくれるので帰りの予約はしないほうが良かった。なぜなら、カフェレリアガあったそうでしたし、他にもたくさん見るべきものありました。3階建ての建物にはエレベーターがついていて高齢の母でも見学出来ました。案内してくれたのは年配のNORIKOさん、いろいろ植物の名前、館内を簡単に案内した後、ラウハラ編み私は不器用でしたのでNORIKOさんに手伝ってもらいましたが、85歳の母は自分で作れました。
Thank you for participating in the garden tour the other day. I hope you and your family enjoyed the program. Your mother's bracelet is lovely! The program includes admission fees, so you can enjoy the exhibits and stroll through the gardens as long as time permits after the program ends. In addition to the permanent exhibits, the museum also has special exhibitions that change periodically. Please do stop by again the next time you visit Hawaii. Thank you.
先日はガーデンツアーへのご参加ありがとうございました。ご家族の皆様とプログラムをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたら幸いです。御母様のブレスレット、素敵です!プログラムは入館料が込みとなっておりますのでプログラム終了後もお時間の許す限り館内の展示やガーデンの散策をお楽しみ頂くことができます。ミュージアムには常設の展示以外に期間で内容が変わる特別展示もあります。また次回ハワイにお越しの際には是非お立ち寄り下さい。ありがとうございます。
I wanted to show my daughter whales up close, so I signed up for a tour. On the day of the tour, there was rain and wind, and the sea was rough. It was a relatively large boat, but it was very rocky, and I got seasick. My daughter was so sick that she couldn't leave the restroom, so we didn't get to see any whales. I also got seasick, but I managed to see some whales, although I only caught a glimpse of their tails a few times. Depending on the season and weather, I wouldn't recommend this for people who are not good on boats.
娘にクジラを近くで見せてあげたいと思い、ツアーに申込みました。当日は雨風があり海は荒れ模様。
比較的大きな船でしたが、非常に揺れて船酔いが。。
娘はひどくてトイレから出てこれずクジラどころではありませんでした。私自身も船酔いしましたが、何とかクジラを見ました。けれど尾っぽが数回見れたくらいでした。時期や天候にもよりますが、船が苦手な人には勧められません。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are truly sorry that you could not fully enjoy your experience due to the bad weather this time. We hope you will join us again on a sunny day to enjoy whale watching. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you back.

Since time is more limited than expected, I recommend checking the brochure in advance to understand the movement routes (starting point) and prioritize attractions to enjoy as many as possible. Google Maps and Street View can also be helpful.
For those visiting for the first time, I’ve listed some things I thought would be helpful based on my own first visit, so please feel free to use them as a reference.
At the entrance, there is a relatively strict baggage check, and as stated in the "Caution/Information," you really cannot bring in any drinks other than water.
If you need to rent a locker, please use the touch panel on the machine at the front (which can be switched to Japanese) to proceed first, so don’t waste time looking for an available locker. After selecting large or small, setting a PIN, and making a payment (credit cards are accepted), the machine will assign you a locker location. Just knowing this can save you about 10 minutes.
Most of the thrill rides require you to carry a rubber boat from the finish line to the starting point. If you don’t know this, you’ll waste time making a round trip.
The line for the Ohana Highway moves very slowly, so it’s better to aim for less crowded times, like early in the morning or during lunch. However, you won’t know how crowded it is until you climb to the highest starting point in the park.
The wave pool has waves every 20 to 30 minutes, alternating between times with waves and times without. The waves are so powerful that you might wonder, "Can such large waves really be artificially created?"
I rented a cabana, but it’s something you should think carefully about. If you have someone to stay behind or keep watch, it’s definitely recommended. The path to the cabana is a dead end, so there’s almost no foot traffic in front of you, making it very relaxing. On the other hand, it feels like a waste of time to just rest, so in the end, our family used it as a towel storage area. Even without a cabana, you can find shaded areas if you look.
The BBQ was surprisingly delicious, and I was satisfied in unexpected ways.
時間が思ったより少ないので、アトラクションを少しでも多く楽しむには事前にパンフレットで移動ルート(スタート位置)把握や優先順位を決めておくことがお勧めです。GoogleMAPやストリートビューも参考になります。
初めて訪れる方は、初めて訪れた私が思った伝えたいことを以下にあげてみましたのでよろしければ参考にしてみてください。
入口で割と厳しめの荷物チェックがあり、「ご注意・ご案内」に記載がある通り水以外の飲み物は本当に持ち込めません。
ロッカーを借りる場合は、初めに手前の機械のタッチパネル(日本語表示へ切り替え可能)で手続きしますので、空いてるロッカー探しはしないでください。大・小の選択と暗証番号の設定、支払い(カード可)後、ロッカーの位置は機械が決めます。これを知っているだけで10分は得します。
絶叫系のほとんどのアトラクションはゴールに置いてあるゴムボートを自分で持ってスタート地点まで登ります。知らないで登ると1往復ロスします。
オハナ・ハイウェイは、順番待ちの進みがとても遅いので、早い時間やお昼時など空いているタイミングを狙ったほうが良いです。ただ、パーク内で一番高いスタート地点まで登らないと込み具合が分かりません^^;
ウェーブ・プールは20~30分間隔で波が有る時間と無い時間が繰り返されます。「これほど大きな波が人工的に作れるのか?」というくらい迫力があります。
カバナレンタルしましたが、これはよく検討したほうが良いです。付き添いや留守番など常に誰か残るなら絶対にお勧めです。カバナへの通路は行き止まりの構造なので、目の前の人通りはほぼ無くとても落ち着きます。一方、休憩する時間がもったいないので、結局タオル置き場になったのは我が家です。カバナでなくても日陰は探せばあります。
BBQが思った以上に美味しくて、意外な場面で満足しました。
It was mid-March. Since the mornings are early, the sea is still cold and chilly. The boat also sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to consider taking some medication. We were able to see a lot of wild dolphins. I was really happy because I don't think there are many opportunities to see them. Although the mornings are early, the tour ends in the morning, so you can relax and fully enjoy Hawaii in the afternoon.
3月中旬でした。朝が早いのでまだ海は冷たく寒いですね。
船も結構揺れますので酔いやすい人は酔い止め等の対応を考えた方がよいと思います。
野生のイルカはたくさん見れました。なかなか見る機会はないと思うので嬉しかったですね。
朝は早いですが午前中で終わりますので、昼からもゆっくりできてハワイを満喫できます。
Since this was my first trip to Hawaii, I made a reservation for a tour that I thought would be enjoyable. The bus picked me up and dropped me off at the hotel, which was very helpful. The itinerary included a lot of activities like turtle watching, Angel's Sea, and snorkeling, which was great. I was worried about snorkeling since I'm not very fluent in English, but they provided a full set of equipment for us, and being with many other Japanese people made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it. At Angel's Sea, the tour guide took a lot of photos and was a wonderful person with a great sense of service, which made me very satisfied! Also, they grilled hamburgers for lunch on the boat, and it was very delicious. I think families with children can enjoy this as well, as the Japanese tour guide took care of small kids during snorkeling. It was a great experience that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own! I highly recommend this for anyone looking to have a fulfilling day!
初めてハワイに旅行に行くので、楽しめるツアーをと思い予約しました。バスがホテルまで送り迎えしてくれるのでとても助かりました。内容もウミガメウォッチング、天使の海、シュノーケリングと盛り沢山で良かったです。シュノーケリングは英語も堪能ではないので心配しておりましたが、セットをフルでを貸し出してくださり、多くの日本人と一緒なので安心して楽しむことができました。天使の海では添乗員の方がたくさん写真を撮ってくださりサービス精神のあふれる素敵な方でとても満足です!またお昼も船上でハンバーグを焼いて下さりとても美味しかったです。日本人の添乗員の方がシュノーケリングの際に小さな子供の子守をしてくださったりしていたので、お子様のいるご家族でも楽しめると思います。自分ではなかなかできない体験ができ、とても良かったです!充実した一日にしたい方には是非おすすめです!
I thought the experience time of 5 hours was short, but it was very empty, so I was able to ride the slides without waiting! Also, the bus on the way there was delayed due to traffic, and we only had about 4 hours, but I was satisfied in just 2 hours.
体験時間が5時間で少ないと思っていましたが、とっても空いていたのでスライダーは待たずに乗れました!
また、行きのバスが渋滞で遅れ4時間ほどしかありませんでしたが2時間で満足してしまいました?
It lasted about an hour, but I was able to see the whales jump and spout (multiple times) without any issues!
The announcements were mainly in English, but there were also explanations in Japanese, so there were no problems.
It was the simplest plan without pick-up or breakfast, but the boarding time was also about two hours, which was not a problem. I was able to arrive smoothly from Waikiki using The Bus.
Points to note:
- The waves were quite high, and the boat rocked a lot. Be cautious of seasickness.
- Inside the cabin, the air conditioning was too strong, and outside it was windy and quite cold. A jacket is essential.
- The boat is relatively old and not very clean. There were areas that smelled a bit like garbage, possibly due to the food being served.
1時間程度でしたが、無事、鯨のジャンプと潮吹き(何度も)見ることができました!
基本的には英語のアナウンスですが日本語の解説もあり問題ありません。
送迎なし、朝食ナシの一番シンプルなプランでしたが、乗船時間も2時間程度と短く、特に問題ありません。
ワイキキからもThe Busで滞りなく到着できました。
注意点は・・
・かなり波が高く船はかなり揺れます。船酔い注意。
・船上はキャビン内はクーラーが効きすぎ、外は風が強くかなり冷えます。はおりモノは必須
・船は割と古く、それほどキレイではありません。食事が出るせいもあるか生ごみっぽいにおいがするエリアもあった

I boarded the boat thinking I would be lucky to see even one whale, but I was thrilled to see three whales swimming together and dolphins up close multiple times! I could clearly hear the sound of them blowing water, and it was a wonderful experience of nature. The whale watching was fantastic, but one thing that concerned me was the loud construction noise inside the boat, which made it difficult to hear the naturalist's announcements and music. It would have been even better if there had been consideration for that.
一回でもみれたらラッキーと思いながら乗船しましたが、3匹のくじらが仲良く泳いでいる姿やイルカも近くで何回も見れてとても良かったです!潮を吹く時の音などもはっきり聞こえ、自然を体感できました。ホエールウォッチングとしては素晴らしかったのですが、一つ気になったのは船内での工事の音が大きく、ナチュラリストさんのアナウンスや音楽が聞こえにくかったりしたので、そこの配慮があったらなお良かったです。

I thought that seeing sea turtles while watching them would be a matter of luck, but I was so happy to see many of them. While snorkeling near the coral reefs, the sea turtles really swam right by me and underneath me, which was incredibly moving. Although the sea of angels didn't have a blue sky, the clarity was wonderful, and I really felt it was worth coming!
ウミガメウォッチングは見れたらラッキー程度のものかと思っていましたが、沢山見れて嬉しかったです。サンゴ礁付近でのシュノーケリングはウミガメが本当に自分の近くや真下を通っていき、凄く感動しました。天使の海は青空とまではいきませんでしたが素晴らしい透明度で、やっぱりきて良かったと思いました!
Unfortunately, I couldn't see them, but I was happy to meet a pod of dolphins. The guide was really nice and would let us know as soon as he spotted something!
The boat was comfortable, pleasant, and fun!
残念ながら見れませんでしたが、イルカの群れに会えてうれしかったです。

Whales don't come out of the water with a big splash like in the anime. You might see a tail fin like in the pictures on the site, but in reality, it's smaller and not very impressive. However, I think kids will enjoy it, and being on the boat feels nice, so it's worth going at least once. I recommend it over the sandbar.
クジラってアニメみたいに、ザブーーーンと海面からは出てこないんです。サイトの写真にあるような尾びれは出ますが、実物は小さく迫力はないです。でもお子さまは喜ぶとは思うし、船は気持ちいいので、1回は行っても損はしない。サンドバーより、おすすめ。

Our driver( Larry ) was funny, entertaining and informative, which he blends together that got the crowd laughing, intrigued and bouncing questions back. He was prompt, professional and made the tour. The bus was comfortable and when the pickup changed not by the company but by the city Veltra contacted us by phone, after trying to reach us by email to make sure we didn’t miss our pickup, so 5 stars all around.
You might be asking yourself if a sunset Cruise is worth it. I asked myself the same thing. I went with my wife and some family and had a great time. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food was really good and had lots of options. The shows were very entertaining and some where quite funny thanks to the performers. Then the sunset was great. We went on a Wednesday and it was not many people. Felt almost like we had the entire ship to ourselves. Super fun experience overall.
I appreciated the audio guidance in Japanese available on the shuttle bus and inside the cruise ship. Unfortunately, the real-time announcements regarding whale sightings and the sea conditions that day (explanations from the captain and guides) were difficult to understand without knowledge of English.
During the whale watching, we moved to the deck where we could watch the whales in sync with the surrounding movements. Thanks to the three-story large ship, the deck and interior were windy and choppy, but it didn't sway as much as I expected. When a whale surfaced and spouted water, there was a cheer, and everyone got excited beyond words. It was truly moving to see a whale up close.
I think even someone like me, who only understands a bit of English, can manage just fine. It was a very enjoyable experience.
行きの送迎バスの中やクルーズ船内でも一通りの音声ガイダンス日本語案内があり、ありがたかったです。
残念なのは、鯨の出没の際の説明や当日の海の状態などリアルタイムの案内(船長とガイドの説明)は、英語が理解できないと何を言っているのかよくわかりませんでした。
鯨ウォッチングのタイミングの時は周りの動きに合わせて鯨ウォッチングできるデッキに移動しました。
デッキや船内は3階建ての大型船のおかげで風が強く波立っていましたが思ったより揺れませんでした。
鯨が潮を吹きながら頭を出した際は歓声が上がり、言葉を超えてみんなで盛り上がりました。鯨を目の当たりにできたのはとても感動です。
私のように片言英語しかわからない状態でもなんとか大丈夫だと思います。
とても楽しい体験ができました。

I was able to see whales.
It all depends on the whales and luck, but I was able to see them jumping in the distance and swimming nearby.
If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.
クジラを見ることができました。
全てはクジラ次第で時の運ですが、遠くでジャンプ姿、近くで泳ぐ姿を確認でした。
機会があればまた参加したいです。
We were blessed with clear weather and boarded the boat with the guarantee of seeing whales, but all we caught a glimpse of was a faint black object in the distance, and we couldn't tell if it was a whale or not... However, we did encounter a pod of dolphins! It seems that we still get to say we "saw" something. Since it's nature, it can't be helped, but I recommend participating with the mindset of "it would be lucky if we see something" rather than having too high expectations.
晴天に恵まれ、クジラが見られる保証付きということで期待して乗船しましたが、遠くの方に微かに黒い物体がチラッと見えただけでクジラかどうかも分からず…その代わりにイルカの群れに遭遇することはできましたが!
それでも一応は「見えた」という扱いになってしまうようです。自然のことなので仕方ないですが、期待し過ぎず「見えたらラッキー」くらいの気持ちで参加することをお勧めします。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

The weather was nice and very beautiful! There was a Japanese instructor who really got everyone excited. First, we anchored the boat in shallow water (about knee to waist deep) and had some time to take photos and practice snorkeling. After that, we moved to a larger coral reef area (a spot that was a bit deeper and had a faster current) to snorkel. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles. When diving into the sea, they provide bread as bait. If you hold that, a lot of fish will come close, so it's a great photo opportunity! The day after heavy rain, the water was a bit murky, but it was still very beautiful.
天気が良くとっても綺麗でした!
日本人インストラクターの方がいて、盛り上げてくれます。
まず浅瀬(膝から腰くらいまで)に船をつけてくれ、写真を撮ったりシュノーケルの練習をする時間があります。
その後に移動し、大きいサンゴ礁のところ(若干流れが早く深い場所)に行き、シュノーケルをします。運が良ければ亀と泳げます。
海に潜る際には餌としてパンを渡してくれます。
それを持っているといっぱい魚が寄ってくるので、シャッターチャンスです!
この日は大雨の次の日だったため、少し水が濁っていましたが、それでもとっても綺麗でした。
I chose a plan that includes transportation to a nearby hotel. The meals are not part of a BBQ plan, but there were quite a few options, including a substantial hamburger set, from six different choices. It might be fine to share one with the kids, so not having a meal might be okay.
We spent the whole day playing in the kids' pool and the wave pool. It was a lot of fun. The wave pool has quite high waves, which made me a bit anxious, but the lifeguards were attentive, so I felt safe.
My daughter was too scared to play in other areas, but even just these two activities were enough.
近くのホテルまで送迎が来るプランを選びました。食事はBBQのプランではありませんが、結構な量のハンバーガーセットなど、6種類から選べました。子供と一つでもいいかもしれないです。なので、食事なしでもいいかも。
子供用のプールや、波のプールなどで1日中遊んでました。とても楽しかったです。波のプールは結構高い波があるので、不安でしたが、監視員の方がちゃんと見ててくれるので安心でした。
その他は、娘が怖がって遊べませんでしたが、この二つだけでも十分でした。
It was a two-hour cruise, and we encountered whales. I was a bit surprised because it was not far out at sea, and we could see the hotels in Waikiki. We saw a mother and baby whale, and the baby seemed to be practicing various things, surfacing and diving repeatedly. The mother whale appeared to be swimming alongside, and it was very heartwarming to watch. It was wonderful! ♬
2時間ほどのクルーズでしたが、クジラに出会えました。
そう遠い沖ではなくワイキキのホテル群が見えるようなところだったので、少し驚きました。
出会ったのは親子のクジラで子クジラが色々と練習しているようで何度も何度も顔を出しては潜っていました。お母さんクジラは伴走しているようでとても微笑ましく見入ってしまいました。よかったです♬

Yes, I was actually brought to tears by seeing these amazing animals so close. I unfortunately didn't get any photos of the whales themselves because I was so mesmerized by them. This Majestic whale watch cruise did a great job of spotting whales and getting closer to them (but not too close). We were able to have amazing sightings of these graceful creatures, even though weather and ocean conditions weren't ideal. I'd do this every single day if I could!
Aloha! We’re grateful to hear you had an amazing day witnessing these beautiful creatures! Thank you for sharing your experience and we hope you'll join us again soon! Mahalo!
It was a totally Hawaiian experience from the entertainment to the delicious food!
Just an authentic feel with great music all entwined with guest participation and fun!
And through it all we even learned a lot about the culture and people of the islands!
I highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii because the Chief’s Luau is a must see!
My wife and I will never forget it.
Mahalo!
The conditions on the day were poor, but I was able to see it about three times.
When you go out on the deck, there are considerable waves and sudden rain, so it's a good idea to wear something that can get wet or bring a towel.
If you have binoculars, that would be great.
Onboard, soft drinks and coffee are available for $4, and alcohol (Budweiser, wine, etc.) can be purchased for $8.
It is also possible to change to a breakfast option later, which costs $15 for adults and $9 for children.
Since the pickup is early in the morning, it can be chilly. The outside of the boat is also cold, so it's advisable to bring a long-sleeve shirt.
The wind is strong, so it's a good idea to put your hat in your bag to prevent it from blowing away.
当日のコンディションが悪かったが、約3回は見る事が出来た。
デッキに出ると、かなりの波と突然の雨があるので、濡れてもよい格好かタオルなどを用意して行くと良い。

船内では、ソフトドリンクとコーヒーが$4、アルコール(バドワイザー、ワインなど)が$8で飲むことが出来る。
後から朝食付きへの変更も可能で、大人は$15、子供は$9で利用出来る。
早朝に送迎なので、肌寒い。
船外も寒いので、長袖を用意すると良い。

There were slider-type attractions, wave pools, and pools where you can surf. There were quite a variety of options, and it was a lot of fun. The slider attractions are popular, so there may be lines depending on the time.
Lunch was well-stocked with food, drinks, and alcohol. The food mainly consisted of burgers. It gets very crowded during lunchtime, so I recommend purchasing early. There were lockers available, but I thought the prices were a bit high. The park also had restrooms and shower rooms. It was a lot of fun, so I highly recommend it!

Every aspect of the snorkel, Sandbar, volleyball, crew was amazing. Highly recommend.
While I was on the boat, the wind was quite cold, but once we reached the sandbar, I was so captivated by the scenery that I forgot about the cold! The water was incredibly clear and beautiful, truly like paradise! It was a famous spot featured on TV and in magazines, so I wanted to experience it at least once, which is why I joined this tour! The guide's stories were really interesting and they were very kind, making the time on the boat a lot of fun! When we arrived at the sandbar, I asked for some photos, and they happily took many for me, even teaching me various poses, which made for wonderful memories! After that, we went turtle watching, and they pointed out where the sea turtles were. I was so moved to see wild sea turtles for the first time. Seeing so many floating turtles was incredibly cute! Afterward, we were served a hamburger lunch, and having lunch on the boat while looking at the sea was the best! It was super delicious!!! I also got to see a lot of fish up close while snorkeling, which felt amazing! It was absolutely fantastic! The weather was a bit chilly, so when I got back on the boat from the sea, it was very cold, but they provided warm drinks, which helped a lot. We got to visit the sandbar, see sea turtles, have lunch on the boat, and snorkel, and the staff were all friendly and kind, making it truly an exceptional tour! I was really happy to have so many experiences on my first trip to Hawaii! I definitely want to join this tour again in the summer or when it's warm! Experiencing the kindness of the people in Hawaii and the beauty of the sea was amazing! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii! If I have friends going to Hawaii, I would definitely want to recommend this tour! I was really happy to participate in such a wonderful tour! Thank you very much! I definitely want to join again!!

I made a reservation to see the whales that can only be seen during this season! Honestly, after reading the reviews, I was a bit anxious because it seemed like there were days when they appeared and days when they didn't, almost a 50/50 chance.
However, on this day, we were able to see many whales, and the announcements in Japanese were clear, so we could spot them right away!
The weather was also nice, and we could enjoy the view of the town from the sea, making it a pleasant cruise overall!
Since I opted for the shuttle service, I was able to board the boat with priority, which was great! There were plenty of buses on the way back, but since I received a sticker on the way there, I was able to get on the return bus without any confusion!
この時期にしか見られないというクジラを見るために予約しました!正直口コミを見ていると、現れる日もあれば、現れない日もあるようでちょうど半々な感じで不安でした。
ですが、この日はたくさんクジラを見ることができ、日本語でのアナウンスもわかりやすかったため、すぐに見つけることができました!
また天気も良く、街並みも海から眺めることができたので普通にクルーズとしても気持ちよかったです!
送迎付きにしていたため、船にも優先的に乗ることができたのもよかったです!帰りもたくさんバスがありましたが、行きにシールをもらっていたので迷うことなく帰りのバスにも乗ることができました!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the scenery. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

There were various water slides, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing day. It was fun to experience attractions that are not commonly seen in Japan!
色んなウォータースライダーがあり、1日ゆっくり楽しむことができました
日本ではあまり見かけないアトラクションもあり楽しかったです!
We enjoyed a cruise with our family. We were very satisfied as we were able to see whales multiple times within the allotted time. The shuttle service was also clear and timely, which was great.
