The tour was what you'd expect about the Pearl Harbor experience. Our driver was exceptional! He was really friendly, helpful, and went beyond our expectations. At one point as I was talking to my wife on the cell phone (in Fl), I gave him the phone and he talked to her. When the Punchbowl visit was closed for some reason, he took us to another location to enjoy. He offered to drop us off at the swap meet and come back for us at a later time, which wasn't even a part of our tour. Our hotel wasn't a designated drop-off point but he took us there and dropped us off there anyway. I'd definitely book with this company again!

After whale watching, having a meal while enjoying Hawaiian music on a leisurely cruise is the best. Unfortunately, the whales were only small dots in the distance... However, I was able to see whales up close the day before during a dinner cruise, so I was able to accept it. It's all about timing.
ホエールウォッチングをしたあと、ゆったりとしたクルージングでハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらの食事は最高です。残念ながら、クジラは小さく見えただけでしたが・・・
実は前の日にディナークルーズに参加した時に近くでクジラを見ることができがので、あきらめがつきました。
タイミングですね。

We were able to see a mother and baby whale right after we set sail. I was surprised because I thought we wouldn't see them unless we went further offshore! Amidst the cheers of the people around us, we took lots of photos. Soon after, we spotted more whales... When we returned to the cabin, lunch was already prepared. The meal was just okay, I would say. We also got to participate in a ukulele class with the kids, which was a lot of fun.
出航してすぐに親子のクジラを見ることができました。沖合に出なければ、見られないと勝手に思っていたので、びっくり!!
まわりの人々の大きな歓声の中、写真もいっぱい撮りました。そのあとすぐにまた他のクジラ・・・船内に戻るともうランチの用意ができていました。食事はまあまあ、といったところでしょうか。子どもとウクレレ教室にも参加でき、楽しく過ごすことができました。

On March 26, 2010, I participated with my family of five (myself, my wife, our 14-year-old son, 12-year-old daughter, and 9-year-old son). It was a tour with lunch included but no transportation provided. We took The Bus from Waikiki to Aloha Tower. At check-in, we received a green sticker to wear on our chests, and when we arrived at the ship's entrance, a handsome man who appeared to be the captain welcomed us. I asked if we could take a picture together, but he firmly declined.
There were different entrances for those with lunch included and those without (yellow badge). We, who had the lunch included, enjoyed unlimited welcome coffee (hot) and cold water on the first floor. While seated, a vendor came around selling paid juices, but about half of the guests did not order any. After an explanation in English and a brief one in Japanese, we set sail around noon. During the explanation, seasickness medication was offered for free to those who wanted it. It was mentioned that the lunch buffet would start around 12:30, followed by activities like lei-making and hula dancing on the same floor.
After that, we had free time and went to the observation area on the third or fourth floor. There were several summer beds on the fourth floor where you could lie down. We searched for whales at the front of the fourth floor. However, it wasn't easy to spot them, and before we knew it, it was already 12:30... At that moment, an announcement came over the speaker: "A whale has appeared at 3 o'clock!" The whale spouted water into the air, and the ship erupted in cheers! When the dorsal fin became visible, there was another round of applause, and finally, when the tail fin was seen, there was yet another cheer.
It was past 12:30, and lunch had started on the first floor, but since the whale continued to appear, we decided to postpone lunch and keep watching. After about 20 minutes, we moved to the first floor and had lunch while still watching the same whale. Our seats had been assigned beforehand, and we could see the whale from our seats. Later, an announcement said, "Unfortunately, we must say goodbye to this whale as 30 minutes have passed." We were able to enjoy watching for a full 30 minutes, and our family was very satisfied.
After that, lei-making, hula dancing, and ukulele classes began. After lunch, those without lunch also entered the first-floor area, but I’m not sure if similar classes were held on the second floor. However, someone who came in said, "It's cool in here!" so the area where those without lunch were might have been hot. Additionally, we participated in lei-making during the latter part of lunch.
2010.3.26 家族5人(私、妻、長男;14歳、長女12歳、次男9歳)で参加しました。ランチ付き・送迎なしのツアーです。ワイキキからはザ・バスに乗ってアロハタワーまで行きました。チェックイン時、胸に張るシール(緑色)をもらい、船の入口に行くと船長さんらしき格好良い方がお出迎えしてくれました。そこで、写真を一緒に撮って欲しいとお願いしましたが、きっぱりと断られました。乗船はランチ付きとランチ無しコース(黄色いワッペン)で入口が異なりました。私たちランチ付きコースの人は1階でウエルカムコーヒー(ホット)と冷水が飲み放題でした。座っていると有料のジュースを売りに来ましたが半分くらいの方は頼んでいませんでした。英語の説明と日本語の簡単な説明のあと、12時頃、出航しました。説明の際、酔い止めの薬(?)が無料で希望者に配られました。説明では12時30分頃からランチバイキングが始まり、その後、同じフロアーでレイ作りやフラダンスの催しが行われると言ってました。そして、自由行動となり、3階もしくは4階の展望コーナーへ行きました。4階には寝そべることができるサマーベットも数台ありました。私たちは4階の先頭で鯨を探しました。とはいえ、そう簡単に見つかるわけもなく、あっという間に12時30分・・・・。そのとき、放送で「3時の方向に鯨が出現!」。鯨は上空に潮を吹き、船上は大喝采!。そして背びれが見えると、また大喝采!、そして最後に尾ひれが見え、再度、大喝采がおきました。12時30分を過ぎており、1階ではランチが始まっていましたが、鯨が継続して現れるので家族でランチを後回しにしてずっと見てました。20分ほど見た後、1階に移動し、ランチを食べながら同じ鯨を見ました。席は始めに決められており、席からも鯨を見ることが出来ました。その後、放送で「30分が経過したため残念ですがこの鯨とお別れです。」という放送が流れました。30分、たっぷり鑑賞でき、家族一同、大満足でした。その後、レイ作りやフラダンス、ウクレレ教室が始まりました。ランチ終了後、ランチ無しの方々も1階のフロアーに入ってきましたが、2階でも同様な教室が開けれていたのかどうかはわかりません。しかし、入ってきた方が、「ここは涼しい!」って言っていたのでランチなしの方が居るフロアは暑かったのかもしれません。また、私たちはランチ後半からレイ作りな

I think children in upper elementary school and above can enjoy various activities. Interacting with dolphins is something you don't often find elsewhere! I expected it to be larger in scale, but there are so many attractions that you still need more than half a day to see everything properly.
小学校高学年以上ならいろいろ楽しめると思います。イルカと触れ合うなんて他ではなかなかなさそうですよ^^
規模的にはもっと大きいところかと予想していましたが、ちゃんと見るにはそれでも半日以上必要なほど見所一杯です。

This time, it was a trial with my 14-year-old daughter, 9-year-old son, and dad. The mom, who loves dolphins more than anyone, decided to focus on taking photos. However, I later found out that all the photos and videos were taken by the park staff from the best positions, so it was fine for everyone in the family to participate without anyone having to focus on filming. Mom was fired up for a "rematch next time!"
Just making eye contact with the dolphin NANI felt healing.
My 9-year-old son was surprised by the mischievous NANI, but he was overjoyed to be able to swim with it on his stomach.
(However, after my son, the dad surprised the dolphin by trying to ride it after the boy, causing it to stop. But after regaining its composure, it properly let him ride and swim.)
It's definitely something that everyone can enjoy with family and friends, so put down the camera and let's try!

誰よりもイルカ好きのママは、撮影班に専念することに。
でも、後で判ったことだけど、写真もビデオも全て、ベストポジションからパークのスタッフが撮ってくれているので、誰かが撮影に専念しなくとも、家族全員でのトライでも大丈夫。

I made a reservation on-site and participated with a friend.
At first, I thought it would only be Japanese people, but there were also various people from Europe and America, which made me really excited. The inside of the boat was clean, and the restroom was nice too.
As we set off, the captain immediately started explaining in English, and I thought, "I don't understand this at all (#^.^#)," but then, to my surprise, Jin-kun appeared, speaking Japanese fluently (and he was handsome too)! He asked, "Are there any Japanese people here?" It was so cute and hilarious!!
Thanks to that, I was sure I could enjoy myself without worry!
The sea was incredibly beautiful, with different shades of blue depending on the location, and the breeze felt nice. I didn't want to go back, even though we had just started.
Before long, we spotted dolphins, and they kept coming one after another!!! In the end, there was a huge group of over 20 dolphins swimming right next to the boat, and they were so cute, I was extremely satisfied☆
After that, during snorkeling, I swam with sea turtles and fish, feeling like I had become a fish myself. It was quite cold after snorkeling, but there were four showers with warm water, so I was able to warm up.
And finally, it was time for lunch☆ While preparing lunch, Jin-kun jokingly asked about the chicken, "Is this your first time eating dolphin?" which surprised me and made me laugh a lot☆
The lunch was delicious, and I ended up eating a lot (*^_^*).
When my friend felt a bit seasick, Jin-kun noticed and asked, "Are you okay?" He was very considerate and gave various advice, which was really helpful. He's a thoughtful guy.
In the end, I took a photo with Jin-kun and reluctantly headed back (__).
As you can see, I really became quite fond of Jin-kun on this tour!!!!!!!
It was an absolutely wonderful tour that I definitely want to go on again☆☆☆
現地で予約して友達と2人で参加しました。

「え~、日本人の方いますか~?」

そのおかげで、安心して楽しめると確信!!
沖のほうは海がすっごく綺麗で、青色が場所によって違って、風も気持ち良いし、帰りたくない!!と出発したばかりなのに、思ってしまうほど。
そうこうしてるうちに、イルカが見えてきて、しかも次々に!!!
しまいには、20匹以上かと言うくらいの大群が船のすぐ傍をずっと泳いでいて、かなり可愛くて、大満足☆
その後、シュノーケリングでは海がめや魚達と一緒に泳いで、自分も魚になったような気分でいました。
シュノーケリングの後はかなり寒かったのですが、ちゃんと温かいお湯の出るシャワーが4つもあり、温まる事ができました。
そして、いよいよlunch☆

めちゃびっくりして、大笑いしました☆
lunchがまたおいしくて、いっぱい食べちゃいました(*^_^*)

「大丈夫ですか?」

I had heard that you can't see them up close on Oahu, so I didn't have high expectations, but I was able to see breaching at very close range!!
At first, I only saw a little bit of spouting and the back of the whale, but suddenly there was a big jump right next to the boat! It was like a scene from a TV show happening right in front of me, and the other guests were also very excited, cheering and clapping.
Even the staff who are on board every day said it's a rare occurrence to see it once every week or two, so I felt really lucky.
Of course, the whale watching was amazing, but the lunch buffet had everything from salads to meat, fruits, and desserts. We also enjoyed hula and ukulele lessons, and a cruise with a view of Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once. I think it’s a very worthwhile tour.
The announcements were in both English and Japanese, and all the staff were friendly, which made me very satisfied!

The dolphin tour had several options, and I was unsure which to choose, but I picked this one and it was the best decision. The boat was a large catamaran, spacious, clean, fast, and felt safe. We first went to the dolphin point and after seeing the dolphins, we headed to see whales. We spotted a spout in the distance and approached it quickly because the boat was fast, allowing us to get close in no time. After chasing and watching the whales for a while, we returned to the dolphin point for snorkeling. The equipment was clean, and the staff took great care of my 4-year-old grandson. There was a staff member named Tamiko who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. She taught the Japanese guests with great care. At the snorkeling point, by chance, while my grandson and I were playing near the boat, a large sea turtle surfaced right beneath us, coming up very close. I was so surprised that I took off my snorkel and shouted, "It's a turtle!" This stroke of luck was shared by the two of us and two foreign guests nearby. The others were away from the boat and missed this fortunate encounter. After that, we had lunch, which was luxurious and surprisingly impressive for a meal on a boat. The drinks included unlimited beer and Hawaiian cocktails, and we could eat wherever we liked on the boat. During that time, the boat cruised even further than the whale sighting point, making for a very satisfying watching cruise. My wife was also very satisfied, and I think we will definitely become repeat customers. I highly recommend it. There are other tours nearby, but they can't compare in terms of luxury.
イルカツアーはアランさんのなかでもいくつかあり、迷いましたが、このツアーにして最高でした。船も大きな双胴船で、広くてきれいで速くて安心でした。最初にイルカポイントへ行きイルカを見た後今度はクジラをミニみにいきました。遠くに潮を吹いているのを見つけて近づくのですが船が速いのですぐに近くまで行けました。そこでしばらくクジラを追いかけてウォッチングをした後またイルカポイントへ戻りそこでシュノーケリングです。道具もきれいで4歳の孫にはスタッフの方がいろいろと世話をしてくださいました。日本語の出来るタミ子さんという方がおられたので安心でした。日本人には彼女が丁寧に教えてくれました。シュノーケルポイントではたまたまですが私と4歳の孫が船の近くで遊んでいたら真下から大きなウミガメが浮上したきて、すぐそばに浮き上がり、あまりの驚きにシュノーケルを外して『カメだー』と叫んでしまいました。この幸運は私たち二人と近くにいた外人さん二人の4にんでした。たの人たちは船から離れていてこの幸運に遭遇できませんでした。その後はランチでしたがこれが豪華で船の上の食事とはおもえないくらいの感動ランチでした。飲み物もビールはもちろん、ハワイアンカクテルも飲み放題で船の上で好き勝手な場所で食事でした。その間また船はクジラを見たポイントよりもまだ先までクルーズしてくれて大満足のウォッチングクルーズでした。
家内も大満足で多分リピーターになると思います。

I looked at several sites trying to decide which tour to use for our Pear Harbor Tour and chose using Hawaiian Activities because they provided the best description of the tour companies. It was easy to book on-line and when I called to ask what time the bus would pick us up at the hotel, the customer service agent immediately called the company to find out. That to me is service so I booked with them. Booking before you arrive on the island makes life so much easier because everywhere you look, there are tours being promoted and it can be confusing.
The company I chose did a marvelous job. Our coach was clean and air conditioned and the driver/tour guide was marvelous. He told us so much about the history of Hawaii that his narration brought so much more value to the tour. The same applied to the tour guide we had for the USS Missouri. He brought the signing of the armistice with General McArthur, the Allies and the Japanese to life in ways no history book can.

The submarine was comfortable, but the children got seasick during the boat ride before boarding the submarine. The same happened on the way back. It might be better to take motion sickness medication in advance.
I participated in the Japanese language tour. The guide's Japanese was perfect, and the staff's response was good, making for a pleasant experience. However, compared to when I rode in Guam ten years ago, the clarity of the water and the number of fish were lacking. Those who have experienced it in Guam might feel a bit disappointed if they go with the same expectations. I think first-timers will enjoy it enough.

I know the whales don't leave until April. How will it be about this time next year? Would it have been if the trip were a little later?

On the day of the reservation, there was a tsunami warning in Honolulu due to an earthquake in Chile. Transportation in the city was halted in preparation for the tsunami. I called the staff and was able to reschedule for the next day. I was relieved that there were staff members who spoke Japanese.
As for the whales, I was glad to see several of them. The kids were very excited, and I was satisfied with that. However, the lunch package was a bit chaotic; with the announcement of "There are whales!" everyone was too distracted to enjoy the meal, so it might be better to go without lunch.

We were not expecting to go so far back into the island and from that we got to see some of the most amazing views only available through the tour. Markus, one of our guides, explained to us where all the film spots were and even picked a few local fruits for us to snack on. The route takes you through mild terain including crossing a few shallow streams and on several amazing outlooks on the ridges. We both wore shorts and gym shoes and fit the occasion perfect. Also, you only need to wear an open face helmet and sunglasses for protection so it makes the ride a lot more comfortable. Also, if you are military, they give a GREAT discount so give them a call to make reservations.

I participated with my daughter.
Initially, we considered just observing, but I'm glad we decided to experience it!
I felt a bit anxious before flying, but once we were up, it was truly the best feeling.
We were lucky with the weather on the day we participated, and we even got to see whales.
The standard option we chose had a flight time of 9 to 11 minutes, which was plenty of time to enjoy.
We tipped $5 on the way back.
I think tipping is essential even for optional activities abroad.
The view from above is so wonderful that words can't express it, so please try to experience the feeling of being a bird at least once!
娘と二人で参加しました。
当初は見学も考えましたが、体験してよかったです☆
飛ぶまでは少し不安もありましたが、上がってしまえば本当に最高の気分です^^
参加した日はお天気にも恵まれ、クジラも見ることができました。
私達の選んだスタンダードは、フライトが9~11分とありましたが、十分楽しめる時間でした。
帰りにチップは5ドル払いました。
オプションの参加でも外国ではチップは必須かなと思います。
空から見た景色は、口では表現できないくらい素晴らしいので一度、鳥の気分を味わってみて下さい^^

Me and my family had a wonderful time on board the Star of Honolulu, despite my son being seasick due to the south swells! Charmaine, who was absolutely wonderful, gave my son some medicine and she was very attentive towards our needs and checking up on us to assure he was o.k.. Nana, another staff member also helped my 4 year old daughter make leis! We did see some whales and some dolphins. Food was good, service was great! Hopefully next time we do this, my son wont be so sick!
