All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

Even in the shallowest areas, the seawater reached up to my knees. I checked the low tide times, but that was the limit during my stay. The weather was bad and it was very cold. I think it would look much prettier if the weather were good, but if the weather is bad, I don't think it's worth spending a lot of money to go.

Snorkeling was a lot of fun because, despite the cold, I was able to see many fish. There was also a sea turtle that the captain had helped in the past, and it was very friendly, swimming around the boat the whole time. The captain and the staff were all very cheerful, and it was truly enjoyable. We danced and sang on the boat, which was really fun.

At the end, they said, "Please come back in the summer," so I thought that perhaps the sandbar would look nicer in the summer.

一番浅いところでもひざぐらいまで海水がありました。
干潮の時間も調べていきましたが、滞在中はそれが限界でした。
天気も悪く非常に寒かったです。
天気が良ければもっと綺麗に見えるのかなと思いますが、天気が悪ければ高いお金を出してまで行くものでもないかと思います。
シュノーケリングは、寒さを我慢して行くとたくさんの魚が見れたのでとても楽しかったです。
また昔キャプテンが助けたというウミガメがとてもなついており、船の周りをずっと泳いでいます。
キャプテンやスタッフの方たちはとても陽気な方たちばかりで、とてもとても楽しかったです。船上で踊ったり、歌ったり、それは本当に楽しかったです。
最後に「次は夏に来てください。」と言われたので、多分夏のほうがサンドバーが綺麗に見えるのではないかと思いました。

Sumbarine was fantastic something you cant do in many places in the world i really enjoyed it!!

The boat heading to the sandbar had strong winds and cooler temperatures, so it was a bit chilly. The sandbar appeared suddenly and was very mysterious. I think it would have been even better if the weather had been nice. The lunch on the boat was also delicious. Snorkeling was pleasant, but it was a pity that I couldn't see much coral.

サンドバーに向かう船では風が強く気温も低めだったので少し寒かったです。サンドバーは突然現れとても神秘的でした。天気が良ければもっと良かったと思います。船のランチもおいしかったです。シュノーケリングは気持ちよかったですが、サンゴがあまり見えなかったのが残念でした。

I participated while feeling scared because I can't swim, but since I wore a life jacket, I was able to float and had a lot of fun! The staff were cheerful, which lifted my spirits, and I had a wonderful day being healed by the cute dolphins.

泳げないので怖がりながら参加しましたが、ライフジャケット着用だったのでプカプカうけるし楽しく参加できました！
スタッフさんが明るくて気分も上がり、カワイイイルカに癒されたイイ1日になりました。

It was great to be able to participate casually in something like diving, which I don't get to do often. The staff, who spoke fluent Japanese, were kind and said various interesting things to keep us entertained. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles. I expected the water to be a bit clearer. We had to share one window for viewing, and since the seats were cramped, it felt a bit awkward to be looking with a stranger.

海に潜るなんてなかなかないことなので、気楽に参加できて良かったです。
日本語ペラペラのスタッフさんたちが親切で、面白いことを色々言って、楽しませてくれました。
ウミガメには出会えませんでした。
もう少し海の中が澄んでいると思っていました。
ひとつの窓をふたりで覗くのですが、座席を詰められて、知らないおじさんと一緒に見ることになり、ちょっと気まずかったです。

Swimming with wild dolphins and sea turtles felt like a dream☆ I also got to see whales, and it was truly fun. The malasadas and homemade cheeseburgers were amazing as well.
And I can't say enough about the wonderful staff! They were the best＾＾ I will definitely join again! Please take care of me next time♪

野生のイルカ、海ガメと泳げるなんて夢のようでした☆クジラも見れて、本当に楽しかったです。マラサダに手作りチーズバーガーも最高でした。
そして、なんといっても素晴らしいスタッフの方々！最高です＾＾また参加しますね！その際は宜しくお願い致します♪

The sea turtles kept here swim around the boat, allowing for a very close view. I thought the tour was family-oriented. As two women, we felt it was a bit lacking. I would recommend it for families with small children. The lunch was very satisfying and fulfilling. There was also a child who got injured on board, but I thought it was wonderful how quickly the captain responded.

こちらで飼われている海ガメが船の周りを泳いでくれるので、とても間近で見られます。
ツアー内容は、ファミリー向けだなと思いました。女二人だと少し物足りなさを感じました。小さなお子様がいるご家庭にはオススメです。
ランチがとても充実していて満足でした。また船内で怪我をしてしまった子がいたのですが、キャプテンが素早く対応をしていて素晴らしいと思いました。

I might have had too high expectations. I was able to see the whale several times, but it was quite far away, which made it feel a bit lacking in impact.

期待しすぎていたのかくじらが何度か見ることができましたがかなり遠い！？のか小さいのか少し迫力にかけた感じが残りました。

I participated in the morning tour on January 3rd. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales at all. The breakfast included eggs, sausages, and bread, and it was quite substantial for the price.

During the New Year period, the weather in Honolulu was consistently bad with rain coming and going, but thanks to that, I was able to see a big rainbow from the boat.

I have been on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise several times, and during those times, it makes a U-turn just before Diamond Head. However, this tour goes even further. It was interesting to view Oahu from the sea, as well as the backside of Diamond Head.

But I really wanted to see whales...

1/3の午前中のツアーに参加しました。
残念ながらクジラは全く見ることが出来ませんでした。
朝食は卵やソーセージ、パンなどがあり、お値段の割にはしっかりと取れました。

お正月の期間ホノルルはずっと天候が悪く雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、お蔭で船から大きな虹を見ることが出来ました。

スターオブホノルルのディナークルーズに何度か乗ったことがありますが、その際はダイヤモンドヘッドの手前あたりでＵターンします。
ですが、こちらのツアーさらにその先まで行きます。
海からオアフ島を、またダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで眺める事ができたのは面白かったです。

でもクジラを見たかった…

Perfect evening with cultural games and insights into the past of the Polynesian way of life.
Food could have been better in more varieties.

The weather was bad, I got seasick, and there were no whales; it was the worst.

天候が悪く、船酔いはするは、鯨は居らず最悪でした。

I was worried about the rain until departure, but after we set sail, the rain stopped, and I was able to see the whales I had longed to see (I think it was probably three different whales). The food was just okay. I thought the prices were a bit high, but considering it was a cruise and whale watching, I guess it's understandable. There were other tours available, but it seemed like the Navatek was the one with the highest chance of seeing whales, and I am satisfied.

出港までは雨で心配しましたが、出港後はなんとか雨も止み、念願のくじらを見ることができました（たぶん３頭違うくじらと思います）。食事はまぁ普通。値段も少し高いかなとも思いますが、クルーズかつホエールウォッチングとしてはやむなしかと思います。他のツアーもありましたが、ナバテック号が一番クジラを見られる確率が高そうでしたし、満足しています。

The waves are high in winter, and even with taking motion sickness medication, I got seasick. I ended up feeling unwell before I could meet the dolphins, and in the end, I couldn't do anything. It was also very cold on the boat. Since we were on the boat for about three hours, it might be tough for those who are prone to seasickness. I did see a few dolphins, but it seemed quite difficult to swim with them on the day I participated. The staff members were all very nice and seemed to be having fun. Summer is said to have relatively calm waves, so I recommend participating in the summer.

冬は波が高く、酔い止めを飲んでいても船酔いしました。
イルカに出会うまでにダウンしてしまい、結局何もできなかったです。そして船の上はとても寒かったです。
船には3時間ほど乗っていますので、船酔いしやすいかたは大変かもしれません。
イルカは少し見れましたが、私が参加した日は一緒に泳ぐのがなかなか難しかったようです。
スタッフの方たちはとても良い方たちばかりで、楽しそうでした。
夏は波が比較的おだやからしいので、夏の参加がおすすめです。

Looking out at Waikiki Beach from the sea, Diamond Head presented a different view than usual, with the blue sky and blue ocean, and the gentle breeze made it perfect.

Whales appeared on the surface multiple times, and each time we were in a flurry of excitement.

I have visited Hawaii many times, but this was my first whale watching experience. I wasn't very interested at first, but it turned out to be much better than I expected.

ワイキキビーチを海から眺め、ダイヤモンドヘットもいつもと違う景色、青空に青い海、風も穏やかで最高でした。

クジラも何度も水面に姿をあらわし、その度に右往左往。
大きな船で船酔いもせず快適でした。

何度もハワイを訪れてますがホエールウォッチングは初めて、あまり興味なかったのですが思っていた以上でとても良かったです。

On January 8, my spouse and I participated. We go to Oahu every year, but we rarely visit during this time, so we joined a whale watching tour for the first time, which can only be seen during this season.

After boarding, the captain provided explanations about the direction of the whales in English, but there was immediately a Japanese interpreter, so it wasn't a problem if you didn't understand English.

The meal was served buffet-style with a wide variety of drinks (alcoholic beverages were cash only) and desserts. When a whale appeared, the captain announced it, and the whale would show up in that direction, but it was a fleeting moment, making it challenging to capture. However, we were lucky to see the whale raise its tail about three times up close.

I had used the Star of Honolulu for dinner cruises a couple of times, and it was enjoyable to experience a different view of Waikiki at night. We participated in a course without transportation, but after disembarking, many shops inside Aloha Tower were closed and it was quite deserted. We took a 10-minute walk to explore downtown and Chinatown.

１月８日に夫婦で参加。
オワフには毎年行っているが、この時期は行くことが少ないので、この時期にしか観られないホエールウオッチングに初めて参加した。
乗船後、船長からクジラが出たときの方角等の説明が当然英語であるが、すぐに日本語通訳の説明があるので英語が分からなくても問題ない。
食事は、ブッフェ形式で飲み物（アルコール類はキャッシュ）、デザート等種類も豊富であった。
クジラが現れると船長のアナウンスがあり、その方向にクジラが出現するが、一瞬なのでタイミングが難しいが、近くで尾を上げる姿等３回ほど観られたのでラッキーであった。
スター・オブ・ホノルル号には夜のディナークルーズに２回ほど利用したが、ワイキキ等夜とは違った景観を楽しむことが出来た。
送迎なしのコースに参加したが、下船後はアロハタワー内の商店は店を閉めているところが多く閑散としているが、１０分ほど歩いてダウンタウン、チャイナタウンを散策した。

We participated as a couple with our 5-year-old. Since we had a young child with us, when the staff instructed another staff member to swim with us, they clearly looked displeased. Seeing that made our spirits drop significantly, and our child became scared of the ocean, so we couldn't go in for a while.

At one point, when our child got tired and fell asleep, there was a photo session, and even though they said they would take pictures later, they completely forgot about it until the end. After the tour, while others were chatting about the photos they had taken and whether to buy them or not, we felt forgotten, which left us with a bad feeling.

That day wasn't particularly crowded, but we felt treated carelessly, which diminished our enjoyable memories of the day.

5歳と夫婦で参加しました。幼児連れなので、スタッフの方が泳ぐ際、私たちと泳ぐようにと別のスタッフの方に指示した時、明らかに嫌そうな顔をされました。それを見て、かなりテンションが下がってしまい、子供も海を怖がったので、しばらく入れませんでした。
途中、子供が疲れて寝てしまったときに、写真撮影があり、寝ているのを見て、後で撮ると言っていたのに、最後まで忘れていました。
ツアーが終わった後、他の方は撮った写真を見て買うか買わないか雑談していましたが、私たちは忘れられていたので、嫌な気分ばかり残りました。
その日は、そんなに混雑していたわけではなかったのですが、雑に扱われ、楽しい思い出が半減した一日でした。

I participated at the end of the year. According to the guide, today’s guests were lucky to have such rare good weather for winter compared to last week, which was cold. Last week was so cold that it felt like a test of endurance, and about half of the people didn’t even go snorkeling.

Indeed, the gradient of the sea was beautiful and amazing. I had researched the site beforehand, so I knew that the sandbar wouldn’t be dry on the day of the tour, but there were some guests who were unaware and complained. The guide mentioned, “There are only about 60 days a year when the land is properly exposed during tour times, so please do your research next time.”

The hamburger was delicious. The guide pointed out where the sea turtles were, but as soon as I shifted my gaze, they seemed to dive and disappear. Even though the weather was nice, the water was still quite cold, and the hot chocolate served after snorkeling was very tasty.

Even with such luck, it seems that to be truly satisfied, it’s better to go in winter when the tides and good weather align perfectly.

　年末に参加した。ガイドの話では、寒かった先週に比べて冬には珍しい良い天気で今日のお客さんたちはラッキーだと。先週は寒くて我慢大会のようでシュノーケリングしない人も半数くらいいたと。
　確かに、海のグラデーションは綺麗で素晴らしかった。
　事前に案内されたサイトで調べていたので、当日サンドバーが干上がっていないことは知っていたが、知らなくて不満を言ってるお客もいて、ガイド曰く「ツアー時間にちゃんと陸が出ているのは年間６０日位しかないので、次回はよく調べてきてください」と。
　ハンバーガーは美味しかった。ウミガメはガイドがあそこにいるよと教えてくれるのだけど目線を移動すると、もうもぐって消えているみたいな感じであった。天気が良くても水はそれなりに冷たく、シュノーケリングの後にふるまわれたホットチョコレートがとても美味しかった。
　ラッキーでもこんな感じなので、ちゃんと満足するには潮の満ち干と好天がうまく重なった冬以外がお勧めのよう。

I couldn't wait to go, and I finally visited the long-awaited Angel's Sea. It was so beautiful that words can't describe it—360 degrees of sky-blue ocean. The lunch was a hamburger grilled on the boat, and it was the best! It was incredibly delicious. I also got to see sea turtles, which was really interesting. The staff was fun, and I definitely recommend this tour!

行きたくてたまらず念願の天使の海に行ってきました。
とにかく言葉では表せないくらいきれいで、３６０度スカイブルー海、ランチは船で焼いてくれたハンバーガ最高でした。すごくおいしかったです。ウミガメも見れたしおもしろかったです。スタッフさんもおもしろく是非このツアー行ってきてほしいです。

We left the hotel while it was still dark, and the weather was uncertain, but it turned out sunny and we were able to see two rainbows, which was great. On that day, we were able to see several whales up close and encountered many dolphins, which was wonderful, but we ran out of time and missed out on marine sports. I was a bit disappointed about that since I chose to go to university instead of junior high for that reason.

まだ暗いうちにホテルを出発で天気も不安だったんですが、晴れて虹も２本かかっているのも見れて良かったです。この日は、くじらが何頭も近くで見えたりイルカにもたくさん会えてよかったんですが、その分時間が無くなって、マリンスポーツがなくなりました。それがあるから中学の方でなく大学を選んでただけに少し残念でした。

There were water slides that you can't find in Japan, and I had a lot of fun. However, it was disappointing that some water slides were not available at certain times.

日本にはないウォータースライダーがあり、とても楽しむことができました。
しかし、時間によって使用できないウォータースライダーがあったことが残念でした。

I used this service during my honeymoon trip to Hawaii in January 2013. I was able to encounter whales several times. When the whales were visible, the staff would announce it and let us know. Until then, we could enjoy lunch and relax comfortably on the boat.

However, there are a few tips to keep in mind for whale watching:
- Whales tend to surface for only a few seconds to a few tens of seconds before returning to the water.
- Even if the staff informs you and you look in that direction, the whales may already be back underwater and not visible.
- Once you've finished your meal, if you go out on deck and leisurely gaze at the sea, you might spot whales even before the staff does, which seems to be a more efficient way to see them.

The onboard announcements were also in Japanese, which made the experience very enjoyable.

2013年1月に新婚旅行ではじめてハワイに行った際に利用しました。
くじらに何度か遭遇することができました。くじらが見える位置にきた際にはスタッフがアナウンスして教えてくれます。それまでは、ランチを楽しんで船内でゆったりくつろぐことができます。

ただし、くじらを見るためのこつとしては、次のポイントは押させていた方がいいかもしれません。
？くじらは、浮かんできても数秒～数十秒くらいでまた海の中に戻ってしまいます。
？スタッフが教えてくれて、その方角を見に行ってももう海の中にいてみれないこともあります。
？ある程度食事がすんだら、自らデッキにでてのんびり海を眺めていると、スタッフよりも早くくじらを発見できるので、こちらのほうが効率にくじらに会えるように思います。

船内では、日本語での案内もあり、とても楽しめました。

I was really looking forward to it, but the weather was terrible and it was a battle against the cold. However, the staff's response and thoughtfulness warmed my heart. Thank you for being friendly with the staff's daughter and my little son. The hamburger was the best. I will definitely come again, so please take care of me.

凄く楽しみにしていたのですが、最悪の天候で寒さとの
戦いでしたが、スタッフの対応や心使いで心が温まりました。スタッフの娘さんとちびっこの息子さんとも、仲よく
して頂きありがとうございました。ハンバーガー最高でした。又必ず行くので宜しくお願いします。

I checked the low tide times and participated. The water was at ankle depth. The weather was nice too. However, it seems that you can only see the truly beautiful sandbar like in the pictures on a few specific days during certain times of the year. While it was a novelty, I thought the shallow beach was sufficient. The most enjoyable part was a turtle that was friendly with our tour boat, popping its head up near the sandbar.

The sandbar itself is at ankle depth if you catch the low tide, but the boat stops further back, so you will get wet up to your waist no matter what. If you're just looking to step onto the sandbar without snorkeling, I recommend wearing a swimsuit beforehand.

Although it was sunny, the wind was strong, and even though the seawater was warm, the wet areas felt very cold. It was so cold that I skipped snorkeling. While two groups took turns snorkeling, the group that didn't was just sitting on the boat, so we had quite a bit of time to kill. We spent a lot of time watching the turtles. Those who went snorkeling returned shivering with goosebumps. Some even stopped during practice because it was too cold. It might be different in summer.

I was looking forward to the food since I had read that it was delicious, but I think it's better not to have high expectations. It's not bad, but it's just average in taste. Although it's labeled as a barbecue, the food is not cooked on the boat; it's pre-cooked before boarding, so it’s cold when you eat it.

The captain and crew were cheerful and fun people.

干潮の時間を調べて参加しました。なので、水はくるぶし丈でした。天気もよかったです。ただ、写真のような本当に綺麗なサンドバーが見られるのは決まった時期の極僅かな日だけみたいです。ものめずらしさはありましたが、ビーチの浅瀬でも十分かな…と思いました。ただ、こちらのツアーの船になついている亀がいて、その子がサンドバー付近でちょこちょこ顔をみせてくれるのが一番楽しかったです。
サンドバー自体は干潮さえつかめばくるぶし丈ですが、船はそのもっと手前で止まるのでどうやっても腰の下くらいまでは濡れます。スノーケルをやらなくて、ちょっとサンドバーにおりてみたいだけ、という方でも事前に水着を着用した方がよろしいかと。
晴天でしたが風が強く、海水は温くても、濡れた箇所がとても寒いです。寒かったのでスノーケルはパスしました。2グループが交代でスノーケルをする間、しない組はひたすら船でぼーっとしてるだけだったのでかなり時間をもてあましていました。ずっと亀を眺めてたり。スノーケルをやった方たちは、戻ってきたときは鳥肌立てて震えていました。寒すぎて練習の段階でやめた方も。夏ならまた違うのでしょうが。
ご飯がおいしいとの書き込みを見ていたので楽しみにしていたのですが、あまり期待しないほうがいいかと。まずくはないですが、それなりくらいの味です。バーベキューとなってますが、船上で焼くわけではなく、乗船前に焼いてきた物を提供してくれます。なので食べるときは冷たいです。
船長や係員の方は、陽気で楽しい方たちでした。

In winter, the waves are particularly rough, and you may get seasick. The seawater is also murky, so while they do provide snorkeling gear, it might not be that impressive. It gets quite cold on the boat, so the chill after getting out of the water can be tough; those who are concerned about their health should take care. Additionally, the BBQ on the boat only includes hamburgers, so it might be best not to have high expectations.

冬は特に波が荒く、船酔いします。
海水も濁ってますのでシュノーケルもつれてってくれますが、そこまで感動はないでしょう。
相当船の上は寒いので水から上がってからの寒さは大変ですので、体調に不安がある方は気をつけた方が宜しいかと。
また、船上BBQはハンバーガーだけですので、期待はなさらない方がいいかと思います。

The weather was rainy, and the sea was cold and very chilly. However, the staff's response was very warm. When walking on the sandbar, it might be better to wear marine shoes due to the corals and rocks. When boarding the boat, you need to take off beach sandals or anything other than marine shoes. Snorkeling requires the ability to swim. In particular, if children cannot use the snorkel well or are not comfortable in deep water, they will not be able to go to the snorkeling point and will have to snorkel in shallow areas. I recommend participating in the tour during warmer seasons.

天気が雨で、海が冷たくとても寒かったです。しかし、スタッフの方々の対応はとても暖かかったです。サンドバーを歩く際、珊瑚や岩があるためマリンシューズを履いた方がよいかもしれません。船に乗る際、マリンシューズ以外のビーチサンダル等は脱いで乗船します。シュノーケリングは泳げることが条件になります。特に、子供でシュノーケルをうまく使えなかったり、深い場所が苦手な場合はシュノーケルポイントに行くことができず、浅瀬でシュノーケルすることになります。暖かい時期にツアーに参加することをおすすめします。

I participated with a friend without having breakfast.

I was moved to see both whales and dolphins up close! I was able to see a mother and calf whale passing under the boat as well! The captain and staff provided announcements (in English and Japanese) about where to look for the whales, making it easy to spot them! I would love to participate again!

友人と２人で朝食抜きで参加。

クジラもイルカも近くで見れて感動しました☆
クジラの親子やイルカが船の下を通っているとこも見れました！！クジラが見える方向もキャプテンやスタッフからアナウンス（英語、日本語）が適宜あり、すぐに見つける事ができます！また参加したいと思います♪

Waikiki was sunny, but it was cloudy about a 45-minute drive over the mountain. It was a bit chilly, so we decided to skip snorkeling, but everyone seemed to be having a great time. I would like to go back when it's warmer.

The water depth was about thigh-high, and at the shallowest point, it was around the ankle. Since it's not a sandy beach, you have to be careful when walking, as it can be painful.

In addition to the BBQ, they also provided juice and snacks on the boat. The staff were cheerful and very attentive, which made it enjoyable!

Aside from the cold, it was a wonderful experience, so I highly recommend it! There were participants of all ages, from mature couples to newlyweds, families, and friends, so I think everyone can enjoy it.

The turtles came very close, so we were able to take great photos!

ワイキキは晴れた日ですが山をこえた車で４５分ほどのところで曇りでした。
肌寒くシュノーケリングは見送りましたが
みんな楽しそうでした。
今度はもっと暖かいときに行ってみたいです
海は太ももあたりの深さのところからおりて一番浅いところでくるぶしくらい。
砂浜ではないので歩くとき気をつけないと痛いです。

BBQの他にも船上ではジュースやお菓子をだしてくれました。
スタッフも明るく色々気を使っていただいて楽しかったです！

寒さ以外とてもいい思い出だったのでおすすめです！！
熟年夫婦から新婚さん、ファミリー、友達同士など参加者もさまざまだったので
どの年代でも楽しめると思います。

亀さんもすぐ近くまできてくれたので写真もばっちりとれました！

If you are interested in learning in-depth the attach on Pearl Harbor, the role that subs played in the war, the expanded use of aircraft during the war and the final surrender that took place on the USS Missouri then making use of the new passport that's being offered is for you. I spent an entire day taking advantage of the audio tours that are part of the passport package and was able to do all these things at my own pace. Admission to the sub, the Aviation Museum, the USS Missouri and the shuttle ride to Ford Island as well as the audio guide equipment are all included plus, if you prefer, you can have a guided tour of the Missouri instead of the audio. Of course there is no admission charge to visit the Arizona Memorial but you will get an audio guide device to tour the museum and the park area. The bottom line is that this passport offer is awesome if you have the time and are a WWII history buff.

- I found it worthwhile to participate, thinking I could experience the feeling of cruising.
- We encountered two whales and were able to see them spouting for a while.
- We frequently spotted dolphins, although they weren't very close.
- The Japanese-speaking guide made frequent announcements, which were easy to understand. Even during times when there were no whales, it was enjoyable to hear explanations about the scenery visible from the boat.
- I participated while carrying a small child in a baby carrier, and it wasn't too bumpy, so there were no issues.
- The restroom was spacious and well-maintained.
- The guide mentioned, "Today the whales are close," but I was surprised, thinking, "Is this really close?!" The visibility was such that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been told it was a whale. When pointed out, I could see the spouting between the waves.
- I was interested in the shopping mall around the pier, so I intentionally chose not to have a shuttle. However, many stores were closed, making it a rather lonely mall. I regretted not taking the shuttle plan to return right away, as there was no value in spending time there after the event. Instead, I visited the palace and Chinatown. It took just over ten minutes on foot through the office district to reach the palace. I returned by bus.
- I chose the breakfast plan. The coffee was decent, but the scrambled eggs were so bad that they made me feel sick just thinking about them. Since there were no whales, I went for a refill, but there was hardly anything left. If you want to eat a lot, be sure to take plenty during the initial serving, as there are very few options, so it's best not to have high expectations.

・クルージング気分を味わえると思えば参加する価値がありました。
・鯨は２頭遭遇でき、潮吹きがしばらく見れました。
・いるかはたびたび見かけました。いるかまでの距離はそれほど近くないです。
・日本語担当のガイドさんが、頻繁にアナウンスしてくれて分かりやすかったです。鯨がいない時間帯も、船から見える景色を説明してくれて楽しかったです。
・小さい子供をおんぶ紐で縛って参加しましたが、それほど揺れないし、問題ありませんでした。
・トイレも広くてきれいにしてありました。
・「今日は鯨が近いよ」とガイドさんが言ってましたが「この遠さで近いのか？！」と逆にびっくりしました。鯨だ！と言われなければ気が付かない程度の見え方です。言われてみれば、波の合間に潮吹きが、というレベル。
・船着き場周りのショッピングモールに興味があり、敢えて送迎なしにしました。しかしながら閉店しているお店も多く、とても淋しいモールでした。イベント後に寄る時間を用意する価値は全くなく、送迎プランですぐ帰った方が良かったと後悔しました。そこで宮殿とチャイナタウンへ寄りました。オフィス街と通って徒歩１０分強で宮殿に着きました。帰りはバスで帰りました。
・朝食プランを選択しました。コーヒーは普通においしく、スクランブルエッグが思い出しても気持ち悪くなる程、まずかったです。鯨が出ないのでヒマでおかわりに行きましたが、ほとんど残っていませんでした。沢山食べたい方は、最初の盛り付けでたくさんよそってください。種類はとても少ないので期待しない方が良いです。

For first timers, couples, honeymooners, and or families, this special treat of receiving a Lei once you have landed, is a special time. Never thought we would experience such an event, but when we arrive from our red eye flight and just outside the gate, we were greeted with our Lei's that also came with a special note that you can prepared by this company for your Loved one.

I chose the cheaper "silk lei" so it would last forever, vs the fresh flowered lei.

If it's your first time to vist the islands, surprise her, as they will be waiting for you to depart the plane with your name and message on a sign.
