We didn't pay for the meal, instead we ate ahead of time. We had a nice time. Saw some whales, but not very close. Still it was worth the price for a morning out on the ocean.

I made a reservation because I wanted to swim with dolphins! However, unfortunately, the weather was cloudy... ( ´・ω・) I was worried about whether I could swim with the dolphins, but I was able to swim with them for just a moment!!! I was also able to swim with turtles, which was great! There were plenty of activities like a hula dance show and BBQ, and the crew members were cheerful and made it a lot of fun!

We spotted a whale a little offshore!! The captain quickly turned the boat, and we were able to see it multiple times. I was particularly moved by the sight of two whales swimming together, following the boat's stern.
少し沖に出た所でくじら発見!! 船長さんが機転をきかして船は旋回し、何度も何度も見ることができました。特に船の船尾を二頭揃って追尾して泳ぐ姿には感動した。

After about a 30-minute voyage from the port to offshore Waikiki, the whale watching began. For the first 30 minutes, there were no whales in sight at all. After that, we spotted tails and spouts about five times, with intervals of 5 to 15 minutes. Although we didn't see any spectacular jumps, we were able to see the whales.
The view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from offshore is truly breathtaking. The curry rice for lunch was very Japanese, and while the variety was limited, the other dishes were delicious as well. The waves offshore Waikiki weren't high, but since we slowed down to drift between the waves while searching for whales, some people did experience seasickness.
港からワイキキ沖まで30分ほど航海して、クジラウォッチングが始まります。最初の30分ほどはまったくクジラが見当たりませんでした。その後、5分から15分間隔で、尾ひれや潮吹きが5回ほど見られました。豪快にジャンプをするところはありませんでしたが、なんとかクジラを見ることができました。
沖合いから見るワイキキのホテルやダイアモンドヘッドは本当に絶景です。ランチのカレーライスも日本的で、品数は少ないですが他の料理も美味しいです。ワイキキ沖は波は高くありませんが、クジラを見つけるのに速度を落として波間を漂うので、船酔いする人もいました。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. It seems that the other people on the same tour also only caught a glimpse, but couldn't see them clearly. The view of the beach and Diamond Head from the sea is beautiful, so I think it's a good tour for first-time visitors to Hawaii. However, for those who have been there multiple times, it might feel a bit lacking.

I came to Hawaii in January when whales are often seen, so I decided to sign up for a tour. It ended in the morning, which made it easy to plan my day.
There were not many Japanese people.
Since the pickup was around 7 AM, I had lunch in my room. It seemed like there was time to have breakfast before the boat reached the whale watching point, so a plan that included breakfast might have been nice.
Although I couldn't see them up close, I was able to see dolphins and whales multiple times. I wondered if there are days when you can't see them.
Just seeing Diamond Head from the boat is worth it.

I had heard that it could be cold on the boat and in the bus on the way there and back, so I brought a jacket and a towel, which made my luggage a bit heavy, but I was able to store it under the seats on the boat, so it wasn't a problem.
At the snorkeling point, a sea turtle came very close to me! That was the most exciting moment.

Let me start by saying that everyone was so friendly. My husband was here on a business trip so I came to do this tour on my own. The free transportation they provided went very smoothly. Pick up from my hotel and drop off at the end. One of the reasons I picked this tour group was the guarantee to see whales. Upon arriving, they welcome you and let you know where the lunch buffet is and that you can sit on any floor. The weather was beautiful and the sailing was very smooth. Unfortunately, there were no whales or aquatic life to be seen. At the end of the tour I was given a voucher to come back another day. I came back the next. Unfortunately again, I had the same experience. I found out later from locals that it's hard to see them in major boat trafficking areas. So while I didn't get to see any whales or aquatic life, the trip itself was nice. I was able to converse with other travelers and have some nice water time.

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins. An hour before the meeting time, the hotel staff gave us a morning call, confirmed the pickup time and location, and provided explanations, which was very helpful for us since we are not morning people.
The bus that picked us up had a monitor that explained the rules to follow when meeting wild dolphins and how to wear life jackets, allowing us to join the tour without any anxiety. Once we arrived at the port, we used the restroom and boarded the boat to set off!
Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a photographer, and a lifeguard, all of whom were cheerful and played music, dancing with us. We had a great time without feeling seasick while heading to the dolphin spot. However, for those participating in the winter early morning tour, it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit due to the cold wind and water temperature.
When we anchored at the dolphin spot, it was finally time to enter the sea! Guided by the crew, when I looked down, I saw a large group of dolphins swimming gracefully within reach. I was so moved when they came right beneath us that I got goosebumps! They came close to us about four times, and I was healed by the sight of the baby dolphins and their squeaky sounds.
Later, while we were heading to the next snorkeling spot, we encountered a pod of whales! We were lucky to see them blowing water and raising their tails just 50 meters away. When we arrived at the next spot and went snorkeling, we were able to see a mother and baby sea turtle swimming on a large rock. They were so cute, and as I watched them from above, time flew by. There were also kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and a slide from the boat available, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
When we returned to the boat, the captain was grilling hamburgers for us, and having lunch surrounded by the great nature of mountains and the sea was incredibly delicious. On the way back to the port, they even played the ukulele and performed hula dancing, and the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a fantastic experience!
念願のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
集合時間の1時間前にホテルにモーニングコールをしてきて下さり、ピックアップ時間や場所の最終確認など事前に説明して下さり、朝が苦手な私達にとってはとても助かりました。
迎えに来たバスにはモニターがついていて、野生のイルカに会う上で守らなければならない事や、ライフジャケットの着方について説明して下さり、不安なくツアーに参加できました。

船上には日本語ができるツアーガイド、カメラマン、ライフセーバーがいたのですが、とにかく陽気で音楽を掛けてダンスをしたりしてくれたり、イルカのスポットに行くまでの間、船酔いすることなく楽しい時間を過ごせました。ただ冬の早朝便で参加される方は風も水温も冷たいため、ウェットスーツをレンタルした方がいいかもです。
イルカがいるスポットに船を停泊させて、いよいよ海へ!
クルーに案内されて下を見てみると、イルカの大群が手の届きそうなところで優雅に泳いでいて、私たちの真下にきてくれた時は鳥肌がたつくらい感動しました!その後も4回くらい近くへ来てくれて、子供のイルカやキューキューという鳴き声に癒されました。
その後、次のシュノーケリングスポットへ船を走らせていると、なんとクジラの群れに遭遇!潮を吹いて、尾ひれを上げている様子がすぐ50M先で見ることができてラッキーでした!
次のスポットへ到着してシュノーケリングをしていると、大きな岩の上で泳いでいるウミガメの親子を見ることができました。とてもかわいくてボーッと上の方から眺めているとあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいましたが、他にもカヤック、スタンドアップパドル、船からの滑り台など用意されていて、みなさんそれぞれ楽しんでいるようでした。
船に戻るとキャプテンがハンバーガーをグリル機で焼いて待っていてくれて、大自然の山と海に囲まれながら食べるはランチは最高においしかったです。

In January, I participated in a tour with my fourth-grade child. Most of the participants were Japanese.
First, after arriving at the port and before boarding the boat, we had to put on fins and wetsuits. If the sizes don’t fit on the first try, it can get hectic, so I recommend acting quickly, including using the restroom after getting off the bus.
Shortly after departure, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which was exciting. However, since the pod was large and scattered, it was difficult to see, so we spent some time looking for another group of dolphins. It took a while, but I appreciated the cheerful performance by the staff, which made the waiting time enjoyable.
Finally, we found a pod! After a brief explanation of snorkeling, we, as first-timers, cautiously entered the water. For a while, we were just trying to get used to the water, but we were able to see the dolphins three times. It was a strange yet moving experience to see wild dolphins swimming right in front of me in the deep sea!
After swimming with the dolphins, we moved to a different location for free time and activities. Snorkeling in an area with many tropical fish was also very enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. Due to our fatigue from snorkeling and the chilly January weather, we couldn’t fully enjoy our free time, but I think if the timing was better and we had more experience and stamina, we could have had even more fun.
Overall, I felt the staff's desire to create wonderful memories in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied because I was able to have the experiences I had hoped for!
1月に小4の子連れでツアーに参加しました。参加者はほぼ日本人でした。
まず港に着いてから船に乗るまでの間に足ヒレやウェットスーツを着用するのですが、1回でサイズが合わないと慌ただしくなってしまうので、下車後はトイレを含め素早い行動をお勧めします。
出港まもなくイルカの群れを発見して期待に胸が高鳴ります。しかし群れが大きい(まとまりがなくて見にくい)とのことで、しばらく他のイルカの群れを探すことに。探すのに時間はかかりましたが、スタッフの陽気なパフォーマンスで待ち時間を楽しく過ごすことができて感謝でした。
そして、ついに群れを発見!簡単にシュノーケリングの説明を受け、シュノーケリング初体験の我々は恐る恐る入水。しばらくは水に慣れるのに精いっぱいという状態でしたが、計3回の群れを見ることができました。かなり深い海に浮かんでいる自分の目の前を、野生のイルカの群れが泳いでいくというのは、不思議な感覚というか、やはり感動しました!
イルカと泳いだ後は、場所を変えてアクティビティ等の自由時間です。熱帯魚の多い場所で、ここでのシュノーケリングも非常に楽しかったです。運よくウミガメも見ることができました。我々は初体験のシュノーケリングによる疲れと、1月で肌寒かったこともあって、自由時間を十分満喫できたとは言えませんが、時期が良くて経験と体力があれば、もっと楽しめたと思います。
全体を通してスタッフの「ハワイで良い想い出を」という気持ちが伝わり、実際に期待していた経験ができたので、非常に満足でした!

I chose a movie location tour and a private beach. The movie location tour was led by a Japanese driver and guide, who was very interesting and enjoyable to talk to. I was surprised to learn that a lot of filming took place at this ranch, more than I expected. I plan to watch the movies he introduced to me. I enjoyed the magnificent nature that is not commonly seen in Japan.
The lunch (buffet) was quite good! My husband and kids had plenty of pineapple. We ate at various places during our trip, but the food here was quite delicious (it was perfectly ripe).
After lunch, we went to the private beach, but everything was in English!
When I used the service, I think about 30% of the guests were Japanese, but after arriving, the information regarding the meeting time, important notes for use, and the locations of changing rooms and restrooms were all in English. My husband and I strained to listen and tried to understand, but it wasn't presented in a way that was easy for Japanese people to follow, so we could only catch a few words.
In the end, I didn't understand the meeting time, so I just observed the surroundings... (It got hectic, and we ended up being last). I understood the rest through a mix of a few words and gestures, but since it was important information, I wish they had at least posted a printed sheet somewhere.
I had high expectations for the beach, but the water clarity was almost nonexistent, and I couldn't find any fish. (Were there any?)
There were quite a few rocks for a beach, and when I fell while stand-up paddling, all of my family ended up injuring their feet. However, I think it would cost around $30 to use it on the beach, so it was good to try it for free here.
I love beaches and have been to many, but this one was a bit disappointing. The free rentals were nice, though, as they had various options (including kayaks).
When we returned from the beach, there was no time to check out the souvenir shop, and we had to take the bus back immediately. If you're planning to buy souvenirs, I think it would be good to go during lunch. There were various items that were different from those in Waikiki, so I regret not being able to see them.

I will be boarding the Star of Honolulu, which I've always admired! It's a very beautiful and large ship, and the restrooms are really clean and comfortable.
I opted for the buffet, and I heard that on the day of the cruise, you can add an extra person for $12 for more food. The buffet was very delicious, and I went back for seconds on the sausages! The drink options are plentiful, and you can buy tasty alcoholic beverages if you're willing to spend a little more.
I'm the type to get seasick, and I forgot to bring my motion sickness medication, so I was a bit anxious. However, the ship is large, so it didn't sway much, and I had no problems at all.
The only disappointing thing was that we didn't see any whales. I was excited to join because it was said that there was a high chance of seeing them, but we didn't see any whales, sea turtles, or dolphins—nothing at all. We just ended up staring at the horizon for the entire time.
For those who didn't see anything, there is a free return ticket for the next time, but it seems that it’s only valid for this season and must be used by April of this year. Also, it doesn't include hotel pick-up or the buffet.
Since I only go to Hawaii about once a year, I can't use such a short-term ticket! Moreover, the explanations were given in English, so we, who only understand Japanese, were confused about where to collect the tickets. It seemed that many people returned home without receiving their tickets.
I think it would be helpful if there were a few more staff members who could speak Japanese.

見えなかった方には次回の無料乗船券がもらえるのですが、今期のみで今年の4月までに行かなくてはならないそうで、ホテルへの送迎やブュッフェは付属しないとのことでした。
ハワイに行くのは一年に一度程度ですので、そんなに短い期間の乗船券だと使えません!!
しかも英語で説明されるので日本語しかわからない我々はどこでチケットをもらっていいかわからず戸惑いました。
チケットをもらわずわからないまま帰宅した方も大勢おられたようでした。
もう少し日本語ができるスタッフがいてくれると助かると思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed breakfast on board. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to observe any whales this time.

I touched a dolphin for the first time! Its incredibly gentle skin was indescribable, and its cries were so cute; I was very satisfied ❤︎ It was great that my 2-year-old could participate as well.

We, a couple in our twenties who can't speak any English, went on a 5-day trip to Hawaii for 3 nights. Perhaps due to the timing in mid-December, we were able to travel at less than half the usual cost, making it quite a bargain.
Unfortunately, the weather during our stay was bad, and even in Hawaii, it took a fair amount of courage to get into the sea or pool. On the last day, we were scheduled to depart Hawaii around noon, and that day, the temperature was quite high, perfect for marine sports.
The first activity we participated in while shivering was the "Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii Thrilling Water Slide & All-You-Can-Eat BBQ Lunch Plan." There was a convenient bus service to near our hotel. At the bus stop, various buses arrived for different plans, and we hesitated for a moment about which bus to take, but the bus guide was Japanese, which was a great help for the two of us who couldn't speak English.
When we arrived at the site, we were amazed by the excitement. There were many thrilling attractions that you can't experience in Japan, and we felt the American quality. Laughing, perhaps due to the weather or just luck, we were able to enjoy all the attractions without any wait, riding as much as we wanted. However, it was just so cold. The lunch was a buffet style, and although the variety was limited, it was satisfying. In the afternoon, I couldn't muster the courage to get back into the pool, so I spent the rest of the day relaxing in the heated area.
It's unfortunate that we weren't blessed with good weather, but the attractions were so enjoyable that we forgot about the cold. I recommend visiting this place when you go to Hawaii.
全く英語の話せない20代カップルで3泊5日ハワイの旅へ行って来ました。
12月中旬という時期のせいなのか、旅費が通常の半値以下で行くことができ、かなりお得な旅でした。
残念ながら滞在期間中の天候が悪く、ハワイとはいえ海やプールに入るのはそれなりの根性が必要でした。
最終日はお昼頃にハワイを出発することになっており、その日に限ってかなり気温が高く、絶好のマリンスポーツ日和でした。
私たちがまず始めに凍えながら参加したのは『ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ 絶叫ウォータースライダーを楽しもう! / BBQランチ食べ放題プラン』でした。
ホテルの近くまでバスの送迎がありとても便利です。バス停には色々なバスが各プランの送迎にきており乗るバスを一瞬迷いますが、バスガイドが日本人でしたので英語の話せない2人には大変助かりました。
現地に着くとその迫力に驚きました。日本では味わえないようなスリリングなアトラクションが数多くあり、アメリカンクオリティを感じました。笑
天候のせいかたまたまなのか、どのアトラクションも待ち時間なく乗ることができ、乗り放題の状態でした。が、、、とにかく寒かったです。ランチはビュッフェ形式になっており品数こそ少ないものの、満足できる内容でした。午後からはまたプールに入る勇気がでず、温水コーナーでひたすらゆっくりして1日が終わりました。
天候に恵まれなかったのは残念ですが、アトラクションは寒さも忘れる楽しさがありましたので、ハワイを訪れた際にはこちらに行くことをお勧めします。
Aloha,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the weather was bad. Please do come back during your stay in Hawaii.

The weather was bad, so I couldn't fully enjoy the scenery as seen in the photos, but thanks to the skillful photography of the tour guide, I was able to take my favorite pictures.
The lunch was delicious, and I was very satisfied.

Everything was exactly as promised. I booked this for myself, 46 yr old mom and my family of 4, kids ages 13, 11 and 9 and Hubby. I chose this tour based on the pick-up time from our hotel and the hot lunch. Other tours had earlier times and offered cold cuts. We took the tour from the Sheraton Waikiki.
The boat and snorkeling equipment were in good condition - the location was amazing and just like the brochure.
The hamburgers were satisfying - we were happy to eat them.
We saw about a dozen Sea Turtles - this made my kids very happy.
The reef snorkle was great for me - but felt short.
Staff was excellent, very helpful and congenial - one even played a guitar during lunch - keeping the ambiance light and loose. They managed boat safety and maneuvering well.
You do not need to have athletic ability- just know how to breath and float and you can enjoy it. The seas were extremely mild and I did not get sick or feel nauseous as I am prone to.
The bus did break down headed up Likelike hwy. The tour operators had a replacement bus on site in about 15 minutes so the inconvenience was minimal. They didn't exactly keep us well appraised of the situation but it was managed well- enough.

From the pier in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, you can take a boat to board a submarine that is anchored offshore, where you can observe the wreckage of ships and airplanes sunk off Waikiki, as well as the fish and turtles that inhabit them.
There are limited resorts that offer submarine activities, and getting a glimpse of the mysteries of the ocean floor is a rare experience.
Additionally, there is a Japanese audio guide available, so you can enjoy it even if you don't speak English.
Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel前の桟橋から船で移動し、沖合に停泊している潜水艦に乗り込み、ワイキキ沖に沈む船や飛行機の残骸と、それらに住んでいる魚やカメを観察することができます。
潜水艦のアクティビティがあるリゾート地は限られますし、海底の神秘を垣間見ることができるのはなかなかできない体験です。
また、日本語の音声ガイドがありますので、英語が出来なくても楽しめます。

Since it is owned by a Japanese person, the overall portion sizes were smaller, and the flavors catered to Japanese tastes. As an Italian restaurant abroad, the food was quite good, so I would like to go again! However, there were more appealing options on the à la carte menu than in the course menu, so I think I will choose that next time. Additionally, the table we were seated at was near the entrance, and with customers coming in and out, it felt a bit hectic. Therefore, I give it four stars.
日本人のオーナーということで、全体的に量は少なめで、味も日本人向けのレストランでした。
海外のイタリアンとしては、上出来のお味ですのでまた行きたいと思います!
ただ、コースよりも単品注文のほうが魅力的なメニューが多かったので、次からはそうすると思います。また通された席が入り口付近で、待ちのお客さんが次々と来るので少しせわしない感じがしました。なので星4つです。

I was so excited when I finally saw wild dolphins from the boat. They were jumping around in large groups, and occasionally they even showed off twist jumps like in an aquarium show, which was amazing. Once I got into the water, I only saw a pod of dolphins once, but a huge group swam right underneath me while I was floating! I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but I couldn't operate it well underwater, so I couldn't take any photos of the dolphins. If you want to take pictures underwater, I definitely recommend using an underwater camera. I encountered sea turtles several times. They swam right up to where we were floating, and I was worried I might accidentally touch one.
On the boat, the friendly crew kept the atmosphere lively and even showed us a wonderful hula dance. I enjoyed a delicious hamburger for lunch. During the free time for snorkeling, there were plenty of fun options available, like a slide, trampoline, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding.
Since I participated at a discounted rate, I was personally satisfied with the experience, but I think it would have been better if there were a few more opportunities to swim with the dolphins at the regular price. By the way, the crew mentioned that they saw a whale on the way back, but there was no announcement made to the group, so I missed it.
船の上から念願の野生イルカを見れた時にはとてもテンションが上がりました。大勢の群れでピョンピョン飛び跳ねながら、たまに水族館のショーみたいにツイストジャンプまで見せてくれて感激しました。実際海に入ってからは、一度しかイルカの群れを見る事が出来ませんでしたが、自分が浮いてる真下をイルカの大群が泳いでいきました!iPhoneを防水ケースに入れて持って行きましたが、水中ではうまく操作が出来ず携帯ではイルカの写真を撮る事ができませんでした。はやり海中で写真をとるなら水中カメラがオススメです。ウミガメには何度か会えました。私たちがプカプカ浮いている所に泳いでくるので、危うく触れてしまうのではないかとヒヤヒヤしました。
船上ではフレンドリーなクルー達が盛り上げてくれ、素敵なフラダンスを見せてくれました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく頂きました。シュノーケリングの自由時間には、滑り台やトランポリン、カヌー、スタンドアップパドルなどなど、遊べるオプションが充実しています。
モニター価格での参加でしたので、個人的には満足な内容でしたが、一般料金で参加の場合はもう少しイルカと泳ぐポイントが多かったらいいかなと思いました。因みに、帰り際にクルーがクジラも見れたと言っていましたが、特に全体に向けてのお知らせは無かったので私は見ることが出来ませんでした。
