It was exactly as I imagined seeing the whales. I was able to see them spouting water, diving with their backs showing, and their tails. The boat was anchored at the whale watching point, so the kids got a bit bored along the way. Since it was just a little extra to add breakfast when ordering a juice, I thought it might be nice to book the breakfast plan next time.
想像通りのクジラの見え方でした。潮を吹いているところ(潮のみ)、背中から潜って尾ひれが見えるところ、を見られました。クジラのいるポイントで船が泊まっているので、子供は途中で飽きてしまいました。ジュース単品代金にちょっと追加するだけで朝食付きとなったので、次回は朝食付きプランで申し込んでもいいかなと思いました。

It was a tour that was kind to children and created lasting memories. It was cold, so we couldn't go into the sea, but we were able to see sea turtles, and the kids enjoyed the atmosphere and the snacks we received. I just wish the weather had been better... but there's nothing we can do about that.
子供にも優しく、思い出になるツアーでした。寒くて海にも入れなかったけどウミガメも見れたし、子供達は雰囲気といただいたスナックを楽しんでいました。
ただ本当にお天気さえよかったらな…と仕方のないことですが。

I convinced my timid third-grade son to give it a try, saying that he would surely gain something from the experience. Although he started crying just before the jump, he was able to enjoy the scenery during the flight! He said it was fun. Of course, we parents had a great time as well. The round trip by boat to the island was pleasant, and I think it will definitely be a must for our next visit.
怖がりの小学3年生の息子に勇気を出してトライしたら、きっと何かが得られると説得して参加。
飛ぶ直前泣き始めたものの、飛行中は景色を楽しむ余裕も!楽しかったそうです。
親の私たちももちろんとても楽しめました。沖までのボートの往復も気持ちよくて、次回もマストだな、と思ってます。

I experienced this with my 2-year-old son. He is the youngest of three brothers, and the older two also had this experience when they were 2 years old. Every time we come, the whole family feels rejuvenated! Seeing my son, who looked so happy after kissing a dolphin, made me really glad I brought him here. This place, where you can also meet Wolfin (a half dolphin, half whale), is a power spot.

it was a great day, the boat was really nice, we sat up the front with our legs dangling off the boat. we had two snorkel spots, both great, the water was a little murky but still saw a lot of pretty fish and some turtles. good equipment, nice friendly staff. the lunch was good. I have also been snorkelling at Waikiki but this was far superior. good eqipment, great day, highly recommend.
Thank you for the review! We're glad you had a great time and can appreciate the high quality equipment we provide for your snorkel tour. Hopefully we see you again, until then, we hope you enjoy Hawaii and Aloha! Your friends at Ko Olina Ocean Adventures

They prepared us by saying its early in the season you may not see anything, we did - a group of whales which we followed around. We didn't see a full breach but you can't have it all! Its exciting, you will be some distance from the whales but there's still a thrill when you catch sight of them. Good value. I'm glad we just did the tour and not the buffet - not sure I would bother with that.

My friend and I really wanted to see the filming location of Jurassic Park so we signed up for this tour to the least visited island in Hawaii. We were very impressed with the scenery. Everything was also very organized and arranged very professionally (no lateness). What made the tour really stand out though, was our tour guide Juan who told us many stories which gave us a greater understanding into life on the island. We loved the tour a lot. The only drawback was we had to wake up really early but I guess that can't be helped considering we did a day tour from O'ahu.

My husband and I had so much fun. We went up 800ft. It was so cool to see Waikiki beach from the air. There were 5 couples on the boat. Everyone had fun. The crew was nice and professional. We drove ourselves to the marina and their office was easy to find. Check in was simple. While on the boat you have the option of having them take professional photos of you while you are parasailing. It cost $30 extra for this service which I think was well worth it. My husband had never parasailed before and he loved it. I think next time I will try the 1000ft option which one couple did on our trip. Being on the speed boat was fun too, but the water is very choppy so make sure you are prepared if you are prone to motion sickness.

I was hoping to see the whales swimming, but it seems it was still too early for that season, and all I could see was the tail of a whale swimming in the distance. I understand it's nature, so there's not much I can do about it, but I really wished I could have seen them up close.

We participated as a couple. It was a very large ship, and we boarded with many foreign guests. For breakfast, soy sauce was provided, which made us feel that consideration was given to Japanese guests. During our last visit to Hawaii, I heard that whales can be seen in January, so I signed up and was able to see live whales. I was moved by the large tail of the mother whale and the small tail of the baby whale. Next time, I plan to bring binoculars to enjoy the experience even more!

The pickup was on time with very friendly service. The driver gave us great commentary and made us have an enjoyable trip to the dock. The parasail itself was amazing having views of the amazing horizon and mountains. We used a 3 person harness so that we could share the experience as a family and it was exceptional. Really comforting staff who were very funny as well. It was a very enjoyable trip and made us feel very safe as well. One of our party was quite hesitant at first however the reassurance provided by the captains got him up in the air. The trip on the boat and the parasail experience was very professional - highly recommend!!

I participated with my child. We were the only ones there for the early morning session. The shuttle driver was very high-energy and spoke to us in high school-level English, saying things like, "You absolutely shouldn't shop at ABC Store in Honolulu. It's too expensive! If you're going to buy something, go to 7-Eleven or Don Quijote instead!" He also told us about affordable yakiniku restaurants and surfing lessons with high discounts!
During parasailing, they treated my child with great care, allowing us to experience it with peace of mind! This was my second time trying it, and I felt it was even better than before!

I was able to see whales. Although I couldn't see the whole whale, as they were mostly spouting water or just showing their tails, I was glad to see them multiple times during the cruise. The food was also delicious. There were hardly any Japanese passengers, and the detailed explanations were only in English, but there were Japanese menus and announcements, so it was manageable.

Inside the submarine, the chatter of those people was loud, and I couldn't enjoy it much. Additionally, the weather conditions were bad, the water was murky, and there were hardly any fish, so honestly, I felt like I wanted a refund. It's disappointing.
