This is about luck. I think it would be wonderful to see a jump, but it seems that due to regulations, you can't get too close to the whales, so it might be quite difficult to get the full picture. Since there are many passengers on the large boat, I think the price is reasonable.
これは運です。ジャンプが見られれば素晴らしいと思いますが、法令であまりクジラの近くには行けないそうなので、全体像をつかむことは中々難しそうです。大きい船で乗客もたくさんいるので値段も相応かなと思います。

Since it was late January, it was cold even when it was sunny!!
There were even people who didn’t go snorkeling! But I think you can only see such beautiful coral here!
I was satisfied to see turtles too!!
As for the food, it was a hamburger!!! It was just ordinary (﹡ˆˆ﹡).

It's a water slide that feels like it's not in Japan! A couple in their late 20s had a great time!
However, even with the all-you-can-drink option, I honestly only had about two drinks.
As for the lunch buffet, it might be better not to have high expectations for the price?! There’s plenty of junk food available, so that was totally fine for me.

The night before returning from a wonderful trip to Hawaii, we stayed at the Prince Hotel right in front of the yacht harbor. We made a reservation for the buffet dinner at 5:30 PM, enjoying the sunset while indulging in this ultimate luxury! The food was delicious, with a variety that suited Japanese tastes. After dinner, we watched the fireworks at Hilton Beach, making for a satisfying night! I was able to refresh myself thoroughly in Hawaii.

I usually rely on dinner reservations, but this time I took advantage of a breakfast milk coupon. The morning crepes are famous for being delicious, and I had wanted to try them at least once, and they lived up to my expectations. I visited during a time when there were available seats without a reservation, and the cost wasn't overly expensive, so I especially recommend this reservation for those who plan to go during busy times.
いつもはディナーの予約でお世話になっていましたが、今回、朝食のミルクーポンがあったので早速利用してきました。朝のクレープも美味しいと有名だったので、1度は食べてみたかったのですが、期待通りでした。予約なしでも店内は空きがある時間帯の利用でしたが、コストもそれほど割高でもないので、特に混雑してそうな時に行かれる方はこの予約をオススメします。

This time, I signed up for whale watching for the first time. I chose the daytime plan. The food was tastier than I had imagined. However, when I did dolphin watching in Guam, I was able to see them up close. It seems that due to the law, we can't get too close, but I only saw the whales' backs about four or five times, and I wish I could have seen them a bit closer.

The whales didn't look as big as I had hoped, but since they are natural creatures, it can't be helped. More importantly, the breakfast buffet was disappointing with a limited selection. It might have been better to skip breakfast and eat on our own instead.
期待していたほどクジラは大きく見えなかったけど、自然のものなので、仕方ないですね、それよりも、朝食バイキングは、品数少なく期待外れ、朝食なしで自分たちで食べてからのほうがいいかも?

At low tide, the sandbar is completely exposed, but at high tide, the water reaches about thigh-deep. First, we went to the sandbar, and I was quite disappointed because there was a lot of water. However, after seeing sea turtles and snorkeling, we passed by again, and the sandbar was visible. They don't change the order of the activities... I guess there are also considerations with other boats, so you need to check the tide schedule yourself when making a reservation. Overall, though, I was able to see many sea turtles, and snorkeling was fun as I swam with lots of fish.
サンドバーは、引き潮の時は完全に砂浜が出てきますが、満ち潮だと太ももくらいまで水があります。まず最初にサンドバーに行き、かなり水が多くてがっくりしていたら、その後ウミガメを見たり、シュノーケルした後に通ったら、砂浜が見えてました。順序を変えてはくれないんですね…。他の船との兼ね合いもあるのでしょうから、申し込む時点で、自分で干満を調べておかなきゃいけないという事ですね。でも全体としては、たくさんのウミガメを見れたし、シュノーケルもたくさんの魚と泳げて楽しかったです。

The parasailing, which I was looking forward to the most on this trip, truly became my best memory. There were two staff members: one was the pilot and the other helped us with the equipment and took photos. We shared the boat with five other groups, but we were the only Japanese, and since the initial explanation was in English, I felt quite anxious before flying because I didn't understand anything. However, the staff member who helped with the equipment checked on me, asking, "Are you okay?" which was very considerate.
Once we took off, I felt like, "This is fun! This feels great!" and my spirits soared. The boat was quite rocky, so it was definitely the right choice to take motion sickness medication. I absolutely want to fly again on my next trip to Hawaii! It was amazing!
今回の旅で一番楽しみにしていたパラセイリングでしたが、本当に一番の思い出となりました。スタッフは2人で一人は操縦する人でもう一人は器具をつけてくれたりカメラを取ってくれたりする人。私たちの他に5組の人と同じボードでしたが日本人は私たちだけで、最初の説明が英語だったので全く分からず飛ぶ前はかなり不安な気持ちになりましたが器具をつけてくれるスタッフが「ダイジョウブ?」とか気遣いをしてくれたりしました。
いざ飛んでしまえば「楽しい!気持ちいい!」と4なり気持ちもはじけました。
ボートはかなり揺れるので、酔い止めを飲んでいて正解でした。
次回のハワイの旅の時にも絶対飛びたいです!最高でした!

However, I was happy that a pod of wild dolphins approached us before we headed out to sea. It was nice to enjoy a leisurely cruise, so I think it was overall good. Since I could only see them from afar, tickets for the next time were distributed only to those who wanted them, but I didn't take one as I had a full schedule on other days.

I went for the first time.
It was a Saturday, but it was not crowded, so it was nice not to have to wait in line.
However, not all facilities are open all the time, so it might not be ideal for those who want to visit the same facility multiple times.
Also, if you have small children, the places to play are limited, so the cost-performance ratio decreases quite a bit. I took my 4-year-old, and while there were plenty of options in the children's pool, we were able to have a good time.
初めて行きました。

We signed up for a whale watching tour on December 18, 2013, in the morning. I had heard that the best season to see whales is from December to March, but I was also informed that the chances of seeing whales during the morning in December are low. Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales, which was very disappointing. However, we learned on the day of the tour that if we didn't see any whales, we could participate in an afternoon whale watching tour that included lunch. Unfortunately, we had another commitment in the afternoon, so we couldn't join the whale watching again. I regretted not confirming in advance that we could participate for free if we didn't see any whales.
In the end, while we didn't see any whales, there were still good and bad points. The good points were that the boat ride was very pleasant, and the views were beautiful. Opportunities to ride on a boat are rare in Japan, so the scenery of Waikiki from the boat was wonderful. Additionally, there were several activities to entertain the children, ensuring they didn't get bored.
As for the bad points, there were not many, but the air conditioning was too strong, making the interior of the boat cold. This might be because people in Hawaii tend to feel hot, but most Japanese guests were feeling cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket.
Although we didn't see any whales, the guide was friendly, and the views from the boat were fantastic, so we were satisfied.
私たちは2013年12月18日AMのホエールウォッチングに申し込みをしました。クジラが良く見えるシーズンは12月〜3月だと聞いていましたが、12月午前のホエールウォッチングは、クジラを見れる確率が低いとも聞いていました。結果的にクジラを見ることはできませんでした。非常に残念でした。ただし、クジラを見る事ができなかった場合に限り、ランチ付きの午後のホエールウォッチングにも参加できることを当日知りました。しかし、私たちは午後から別の予定を入れていた為にもう一度ホエールウォッチングに参加することはできませんでした。クジラを見れなかった場合、無料でもう一度参加できる事を事前に確認していればよかったと後悔しました。
結果的にクジラは見れませんでしたが、それでも良かった点、悪かった点はありまし。良かった点は船上はとても気持ちがよく眺めがキレイであった事です。船に乗る機会は日本でもあまりないので、船から眺めるワイキキの景色は素晴らしかったです。また、子供たちを楽しませる企画がいくつかあり、子供が退屈にならないような工夫がありました。
悪かった点は、ほとんどありませんでしたが空調が効きすぎて船内が寒かった事です。これはハワイの方たちが暑がりなこともあるかもしれませんが、日本人はほとんど寒がっていたので、上着を持って参加される事をお勧めします。
クジラは見れませんでしたが、ガイドさんの対応も良く、船上からの景色も最高でしたので、満足できました。

We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian, and they came to pick us up at the terminal of the neighboring Hilton Hotel. The person in charge was an American who spoke a little Japanese.
After leaving the hotel, we next stopped at the Hyatt Hotel to pick up more tour guests. It took about 30 minutes from when we first boarded to arrive at the dock, where we boarded the whale watching boat. Before boarding, we took photos in front of the dock building (which will be available for purchase later, around $12). Once on the boat, there were about 30 table seats, and it seemed like there was space for over 100 people on one floor. Since we arrived early, we were able to sit by the window. After a while, coffee and tea were prepared, and we could help ourselves to them. It was hot outside, but the air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, making it a bit chilly, so I warmed up with hot coffee.
As the boat set off, we headed out to search for whales. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach were incredibly beautiful. The deck was divided into three levels, with about six spots at the front and back. On this day, we ended up searching for about 1.5 hours but were unable to see any whales. However, since we could join the afternoon trip for free, I felt it was a good service for those who really want to see whales. Although we didn't see any whales, I felt that being on the boat and enjoying the beautiful scenery was worthwhile.
私たちはロイヤルハワイアンズに泊まっていたのですが、となりのヒルトンホテルのターミナルまで迎えにきてくれました。担当者は日本語が少し話せるアメリカ?人でした。
ホテルを出ると、次はハイアットホテルに止まりまたツアー客を乗せて走って行きました。最初に乗ってからだいたい30分くらいで船着場に到着し、ホエールウォッチング用の船に乗り込みます。乗り込む前に船着場の建物の前で写真を撮られます。(後ほど販売があります。確か$12くらい)。船に乗り込むと、テーブル席が30席ほどあり、おそらく1フロアで100人以上は入りそうなスペースがあります。早めについたので、窓側の席に座ることができました。しばらくすると、コーヒー、紅茶の用意がされて、セルフでそれを飲むことができました。外は暑かったですが、船の中は冷房が効きすぎていて少し寒いくらいだったので、ホットコーヒーで暖まれました。船が動き出すと、ホエールを探して沖に出ます。ダイヤモンドベッドやワイキキのビーチが非常に綺麗な眺めでした。デッキは3階に分かれていて、前方後方に6箇所くらいずつあります。この日は結局1.5時間くらい探し回ったのですがクジラを見る事ができませんでした。ただ、午後の回にも無料で参加することができるため、絶対にクジラがみたいな方にとっては良いサービスだと感じました。クジラは見れませんでしたが、船に乗って綺麗な景色を見れた事は価値があることだと感じました。

I visited with my 7-year-old, 4-year-old, and 7-month-old children. They had a decent time at the wave pool and the kids' pool, but the other activities like water slides seemed unsuitable for them. I want to let them try those when they are a bit older!
This time, we used a plan that included transportation and free drinks, but the counter for redeeming drinks at the food court was not open very often, and we waited in line for about 30 minutes... Lunch can only be purchased at that food court, so there was always a long line. Since outside food is completely prohibited, I wish there were more dining options available! The food was also not that great...
Additionally, there is hardly any shade, so I recommend that families with small children secure a paid space.
Children in upper elementary school might enjoy it enough.

今回、送迎とフリードリンク付きのプランを利用しましたが、ドリンクを引き換えるフードコートの窓口があまり開いておらず、30分くらい並んで待ちました。。。ランチも、そのフードコートでしか購入出来ないので、常に長蛇の列。持込みが全く出来ないので、もっと食事が出来る設備が欲しかったです!味もイマイチです。。。
それから、日陰がほとんどないので、小さなお子さんがいる方は、有料のスペースを確保することをおすすめします。
小学校高学年のお子さまくらいからなら、十分楽しめるかもしれません。

I participated in a morning whale watching tour. I was picked up from the Ala Moana Hotel and arrived at the pier in about 10 minutes.
Once on board, I enjoyed a drink while listening to the whale watching lecture in both English and Japanese. After the explanation, we finally went outside and headed to the viewing point while enjoying the scenery of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Along the way, three dolphins appeared, leading us while playing. It was very lucky to be able to enjoy the dolphins up close, even though it was a whale watching tour.
When we reached the point, we saw the spouts of humpback whales multiple times. We could see them coming up from the surface, but we couldn't tell what actions they were doing with the naked eye. Still, the guide's explanations made it enjoyable enough. I think it would be even more enjoyable if you bring binoculars. The view from the ship's observation deck (the top floor that can hold about 13 people) was also fantastic and perfect for taking photos.
We set sail around 9 o'clock for a tour that lasted about 2 hours, and I felt that 2 hours was just the right length. I was able to play a lot at another location in the afternoon, so I was glad I chose the morning tour. I plan to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.
午前中のホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
アラモアナホテルからピックアップをしてもらい、10分ほどでピアに到着しました。
船内に乗りこみ、ドリンクを飲みながらホエールウォッチングのレクチャーを英語と日本語で聞き、説明が終わるといよいよ外に出て、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色を楽しみながら、ポイントまで行きます。
途中でイルカ3匹が登場して、遊びながら先導してくれました。ホエールウォッチングなのに、イルカも間近で楽しむことができてとてもラッキーでした。
ポイントに到達すると、ザトウクジラの潮吹きは何度もみれました。
海面から出てきた姿も見えましたが、肉眼ではどんな行動をしたかまでは分かりませんでした。
それでもガイドさんの説明があるので十分楽しめました。双眼鏡を持参すれば、さらに楽しめると思います。
船の展望台(13人くらいしか乗れない最上階のところ)からの眺めも最高で、写真を撮るのに最適でした。
9時頃に出航して約2時間くらいのツアーでしたが、2時間がちょうど良い長さだと感じました。午後は別の場所でたっぷり遊べたので、午前のツアーにして良かったです。
また次回、ハワイに行く時も参加するつもりです。

Cheif's Luau show was good. Transportation was good. Food was alright. Disappointed in the fact that the 'coupon' for a free item we were supposed to get by booking with VELTRA was useless. In other words there was no free item.

Although there were many clouds on the day, when the sun came out, the sandbar became a beautiful color. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles during the watch, as well as tropical fish while snorkeling, making for a fulfilling time. Since it’s cold during this season, it’s best to bring a jacket. After snorkeling, your body gets quite cold. (You can also get warm drinks on the boat.)
当日は雲が多かったけど、晴れ間が出るとサンドバーがとてもきれいな色になります。
昼食のハンバーガーがとても美味しく、またその後のウミガメウォッチもたくさん見れ、シュノーケリングでも熱帯の魚が見れて充実した時間が過ごせました。
この時期は寒いので、上着は必ず持参した方がいいです。シュノーケリングの後はかなり体が冷えます。(船上で温かい飲み物ももらえます)
