My first booking was cancelled at very last minute. The captain only told me when I got to the pier - 2hours round trips was wasted for nothing without early notice.
I booked second one which was rescheduled twice, eventually it made through and my daughter loves it.
The water is bit cold in the first place but bearable and we stayed in water for 40mins or longer as we were the last group.
On the way back, we saw the whales - what a bonus!!

We participated with our small child, and we had a wonderful experience on the boat without any significant rocking. The interior of the boat was clean and spacious, providing a calm atmosphere along with light snacks and drinks.
At the beginning, we had a presentation about whales on the first floor while enjoying some snacks, and afterward, we were free to move around the floors up to the fourth level to look for whales and enjoy the view from the boat.
Although we weren't able to see any whales this time, we received a ticket to board again during this season. All the crew members were very kind, making for a delightful boat trip.
小さな子供も一緒に参加させていただきましたが船も大きく揺れることもなく楽しい船の体験をさせていただきました
船内は清潔で広く落ち着いた中で軽食と飲み物の提供があります
初めに一階部分で鯨の説明や軽食をとりその後自由に四階までのフロアーを移動してクジラの確認や船からの景色を楽しみました
今回は鯨を見ることができませんでしたが今シーズン中の再度乗船券をいただきました
乗員の方みなさん親切にしていただき楽しい船旅ができました
When there is wind, it can feel chilly, so I think having a jacket would be good.
風があると肌寒いので上着があると良いと思います

This is my first visit since elementary school. After learning about the nostalgia and history, the tour is a completely different experience. You can also visit the surrender deck, and although the signing documents are replicas, you can see them. This is the only place where you can meet heroes who participated in the Gulf War. Don't worry about your wife or girlfriend's expressions; just keep moving forward. Make sure to make a reservation.

I participated in whale watching for the first time!
While cruising, I was able to enjoy some drinks and the scenery was amazing! ✨✨
I saw the whales spouting water and their tails from a bit of a distance!!
I thought I would be able to see them a little closer, but since they are wild animals, I understand that it's unpredictable. Still, the atmosphere was great and I had a lot of fun!!
The restrooms on the boat aren't usually very clean and can be hard to access, but this boat had clean restrooms, so I felt comfortable even while drinking!
I would love to participate again someday!!
初めてホエールウォッチングに参加しました!
クルージングしながらお酒も飲めて景色も最高でした✨✨
クジラは少し遠くで潮を吹くところやテールを見ることができました!!
もう少し近くで観れると思っていましたが、自然の生き物の事なので、予想がつかないのも仕方がないな〜と思いつつ、雰囲気はとても良く楽しむことができました!!
船でのおトイレは綺麗なところがあまりなく、なかなか行きにくいですが、こちらの船は綺麗なトイレでお酒を飲んでも安心でした!

On this day, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was a strong wind. It started to rain midway, and by the time we disembarked, there was a full-blown storm. Perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high and there were whitecaps, making it difficult to spot whales. However, there were several announcements on the ship about whale sightings, and my husband and I were able to see a spout once each. A few Japanese passengers who were on board with us also mentioned they saw a spout just once. Does seeing a spout mean you've seen a whale? I wonder if it was the right decision to set sail in that weather. If asked whether I would like to go again, I would say I do not want to. Even if the weather were good, it seems there is a set distance from which you can approach the whales, so I think it would be difficult to actually see the whales themselves. The coffee and light snacks were delicious (although the boat rocked so much that the coffee spilled...).
この日は空一面の雲に強い風、途中から雨が降り始め、下船するころには大嵐になっていました。強い風のためか波が高く白波が立ち、クジラ発見には難しい条件だったと思いますが、船内に何回かクジラ発見の放送が流れ、私たち夫婦は潮吹きを1度づつ見ることができました。一緒に乗っていた日本の方たち数人も潮吹きを1度だけ見たと言っていました。潮吹きを見たらクジラを見たことになるのか?あの天候で船を出すことは正解なのか?疑問です。また乗ってみたいかと言われれば、もう乗りたくありません。天候が良かったとしても、クジラに近寄れる距離が決まっているらしく、クジラ本体を見ることは難しいのではないかと思いました。コーヒーと軽食は美味しかったです(コーヒーがこぼれるほど揺れましたが・・・)
After the ship set sail, there was an explanation about whales in English on board, and I was able to understand it to some extent using the Google Translate app. Not all the restrooms are available f
出船後船内でクジラの説明が英語でありましたが、グーグルの翻訳アプリで結構拾えて、ある程度理解できました。トイレは全部が使えるわけではなく、鍵のかかっているトイレがあります。

My husband and I participated in this trip for our honeymoon.
Thanks to the favorable weather, the boat didn't sway, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful sea and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the water.
As for the whales, we were able to see them multiple times during the trip. However, they were all quite far away, and we could only see their spouts and a bit of their black backs and tails. I think it was great just to see them, but if I had to say something, I wish we could have seen them a little closer.
新婚旅行で夫と2人で参加しました。
天気に恵まれたため船が揺れることもなく、綺麗な海や海からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めることができました。
肝心のクジラですが、乗船中何度も見ることができました。しかしいずれも遠いところで、潮吹きと黒い背中と尾鰭が少し見える程度。姿を見ることができただけでも良かったのだと思いますが、強いて言えば、もう少し近くで見れると良かったなと思います。

I participated in a trip with my mother and daughter. We arrived at Aloha Tower right at 8:00, but we couldn't board immediately and had to wait outside. The port's restroom was locked and unavailable for use.
The large ship has four decks, and after boarding, there was an explanation of whale watching in English, along with the offering of pineapple banana bread, coffee, tea, and water. I recommend going to get your food early as there is a line.
It took a while before we spotted any whales, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making the cruise satisfying. After a while, we saw a whale spouting water, and we could see its tail and dorsal fin. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any big jumps.
The trip was on a Saturday, and we were able to disembark around 11:00, which allowed us to take a taxi to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market.

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I appreciated that this boat is large and has minimal rocking. We encountered whales a few times (and dolphins too). They explain which direction to look by comparing it to a clock, which makes it easy to understand. I also thought it was a nice cruise to see Waikiki and Diamond Head. However, since we didn't see the whales up very close, it's better not to have too high expectations in that regard.

It was unfortunate that we encountered wind and rain during the rainy season.
First, everyone freely brought pineapple banana cake, coffee, and tea from the front of the first floor and enjoyed them at their seats. The cinnamon-flavored pineapple banana cake was very delicious.
After that, we listened to an explanation about whales using a translation app on our phones. We were then allowed to move freely up to the fourth floor of the ship, so we carefully made our way to the top observation deck and enjoyed the view.
Fortunately, the rain wasn't too heavy, so we were able to enjoy the scenery of Honolulu. We could see Diamond Head and the cityscape from the sea side. It was particularly meaningful for me since I had hiked up Diamond Head the day before on the same optional tour with Veltra, which took about 30 minutes.
The waves were high, and although we couldn't see the whales, we were able to spot their spouts several times. We saw the spouts relatively close by, and all the passengers were excitedly pointing at them. If the weather had been better, we might have seen even more.
The shuttle service was only available in the morning, allowing us to spend the afternoon leisurely, which was nice.
雨季の風と雨の日に当たってしまったのが残念でした。
まずは各自、自由に一階前方にあるパイナップルバナナケーキやコーヒー、紅茶を持って来て、座席で頂きました。シナモンの効いたパイナップルバナナケーキはとても美味しかったです。
そのあとクジラについての説明を携帯の翻訳アプリを使って聞きました。その後は船の4階まで自由に移動してよいとのことだったので、船の揺れに気をつけながら最上の展望階に上がり、眺めていました。
ただ雨は大半は大丈夫だったので、ホノルルの風景は楽しめました。ダイヤモンドヘッドや街並が海から側から眺められます。ダイヤモンドヘッドは前日同じベルトラさんのオプショナルツアーで、30分かけて登った後だったので感慨深いものがありました。
波が高く、クジラは姿は確認出来なかったのですが、潮吹きを何度か見られました。割と近くで何度か潮吹きが見られたので、乗船客の皆んなが指を差して盛り上がっていました。天候に恵まれれば更に良く見えたかもしれません。
送迎付きは午前中だけで体験できるので、午後も有効にゆったり過ごせるので楽でした。
If you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.
船酔いする方は酔いどめがあった方が良いかもしれません。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that the weather wasn't very good, but 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.

The staff who spoke Japanese were very kind and helpful. Not all of the slides are operational, but I think you can still enjoy some of them. If you're coming by car, please be aware that the parking fee is cash only.
日本語が話せるスタッフの方がとても親切で助かりました。スライダー系は全てが稼働しているわけではありませんが、一部でも楽しめるかと思います。
車で来る方は駐車料金が現金払いですので気をつけてください。

I noticed the spouting from a distance and was able to see the back and tail fin as well! I happened to be in a spot where I could see it, but there were people on the same shuttle bus who said they missed it, so I wish there were more real-time broadcasts in Japanese.
遠くで潮吹きに気づき、背中と尾ヒレもなんとか見えました!!
たまたま見れる場所にいたので気づきましたが、同じ送迎バスの中で見れなかったと言っていた人がいたので日本語リアル放送がもっとあればいいなと思いました。
There were places on the same ship where you could and couldn't see, so it might be a good idea to pay attention to where people are gathering and where cheers are coming from. I was standing on the s
同じ船内でも見れる見れない場所があったので人が集まっている場所、歓声が上がる場所に注意したほうがいいかもです。
私は陸が見える側に立っていました。

5/5 stars! Celebrated my husband's birthday at Dolphin Quest Oahu and we had an absolute blast! Despite the windy weather, our whole family created unforgettable memories together!
Don't drink the water while swimming with the dolphin. My son says it tastes bad. :)

Our driver was wonderful and funny. I appreciate that he called us to tell us he had arrived at the pick-up spot. We didn’t see the van pull up and he was parked behind us. The hike is demanding especially in the rain. It was quite slippery on the way down. We had already purchased ponchos, but our driver had some for sale. We were able to complete the hike easily within the timeframe, and had time to stop in the gift shop. Just be aware of the weather and plan accordingly. Good shoes are a must!
