It's a very good program where you can interact with dolphins. My daughter was also very happy. However, I had a hard time killing time until the bus back. It feels more like a small aquarium aside from the dolphins. It might be better to arrange your own transportation.

イルカと触れ合いができる非常に良いプログラムです。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　たっぷり3時間のシュノーケルで満喫 ＜ランチ＆アルコール2杯付き／送迎付きor現地集合＞

It was nice with a relaxed vibe. A bit of English proficiency is necessary. ゆるーい感じで良かった。英語力がちょっとは必要

Reviewed by: Gino

We participated as a family of three with our 6-year-old child. It was fun. The child was able to enjoy snorkeling, and there were many sea turtles, which was great. The view of Waikiki from the ocean was also nice. Above all, I liked the relaxed style of enjoying time on the water without any rush. You can drink alcohol, and the boat was very nice and spacious.

However, even though it was the peak season at the end of the year, I thought over $400 for three people was a bit high. The shuttle service at $30 per person seemed expensive. Moreover, it was supposed to depart from Waianae, but it actually left from a port just past Ala Moana. If that was the case, I could have just driven there myself.

Most participants were American, and the style was American as well. It felt friendly, cheerful, and laid-back. The shuttle time changed by 30 minutes without notice, and I only found out after calling. All the explanations on the boat were in English, and there was no special consideration just because we were Japanese. Therefore, I think those who cannot speak English at all might feel a bit confused. On the other hand, I believe this type of tour, with its American style, is suitable for those who do not particularly like the intense atmosphere of Japanese-style optional tours. I heard that there are Japanese staff on some days.

Since we are going abroad, I think it would be more interesting to participate in a tour like this, with American participants and style, rather than one that is mostly Japanese.

Also, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication. My wife felt seasick towards the end and had a tough time, even though she rarely gets motion sickness in cars.

6歳の子供を連れて家族3人で参加。
楽しかったです。
子供も楽しくシュノーケル出来ましたし、海亀達も沢山いて楽しかったです。海から見るワイキキの景色も良かったです。
何より、あくせくせず、ゆったりと海の上の時間を自由に楽しむスタイルが良かったです。お酒も飲めるし、船はとても素敵で、ゆったりしてました。
たた、年末のピーク時期とは言え、3人で400ドル超は高いかなと
送迎が一人30ドルってのが高い。
しかも、ワイアナエ出航のはずが、アラモアナの先のすぐそばの港発になってましたからね。それなら自分で運転して行ったっつーの。

参加者の殆どはアメリカ人でしたし、スタイルもアメリカ式でした。
フレンドリー、陽気、自己責任、いいかげん。といった感じです。
送迎時間が勝手に30分変わってて、電話で聞いて始めて知る。とかね。
船内でも説明はすべて英語、日本人だからといって、特別に気を使われるわけではないです。
ですので、英語が全くできない方の場合、ちょっと戸惑うと思います。
逆に、日本式のオプショナルツアーの暑苦しい感じがあまり好きでない方には向いてると思います。
日によっては、日本人のスタッフもいるそうです。

せっかく海外に行くのですから、日本人ばかりいるオプショナルツアーに行くよりは、参加者もスタイルもアメリカ式のこういったツアーに参加した方が面白いかなと思います。

おと、酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いと思います。嫁さんは後半船酔いしてしまい辛くなっちゃいましたので。
車では滅多に酔わない程度の強さはあるのですが。

ホエールウォッチ　マジェスティック号　横揺れが少ない最新テクノロジー採用の次世代クルーズ船＜アロハタワー発／12/26～3/31＞

Translation is not available because the original text is unclear. う～ん

Reviewed by: ina

I had previously gone on a whale watching cruise in Australia, where I was able to see various jumps up close, so I thought, "Let's experience that excitement again," and decided to participate. The boat was stable, and I didn't feel much rocking.

They communicated the direction of the whales using a clock reference, which I thought was a clear way to express it, but we had a hard time encountering any whales. After quite a bit of running, we finally spotted a blow in the distance, and everyone cheered, focusing our attention on that spot, but it seemed to dive and we heard nothing after that.

After a while, we saw another blow at a similar distance. It felt like the whales were escaping whenever we tried to get closer. Another whale was spotted in a different direction, raising everyone's hopes, but again, it was just a blow. We might have seen a little bit of its back, but it was far from the excitement I had hoped for.

As we ran off Diamond Head, it felt more like a tour of viewing Diamond Head from the sea. When I spoke with some participants, they mentioned that on the previous day's tour where they swam with dolphins, they were able to see whales and even saw them jumping.

It seems that even this level of encounter counts as an encounter, so it didn't qualify for the "If you do not encounter any whales, we will issue a pass for a free re-boarding of the whale watching cruise."

以前、オーストラリアでホエールウォッチングクルーズをしたことがあり、いろいろなジャンプを間近で見ることができたので、「感動を再び」と思い、参加しました。
船は安定感があり、揺れはあまり感じられませんでした。
クジラがいた方向を時計で伝えるとのことで、わかりやすい表現でよいなとは思ったものの、クジラとなかなか遭遇できない。
かなり走った後、遠くで潮吹きが見られ、みんなも歓声を上げ、視点が一点に絞られたのですが、潜ってしまったようで音沙汰なし。
またしばらく走ると、同じくらいの距離で潮吹き。
近づこうとすればクジラは逃げていく感じでした。
別の方向に鯨が発見され、みんなの期待も高まったのですが、やはり潮吹き程度。少しだけ背中が見られたかな。
でも、感動とはかけ離れたものでした。
ダイヤモンドヘッド沖を走るので、まるで海からダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるツアーのような感じでした。
参加された方とお話をしたところ、昨日のイルカと泳ぐツアーでクジラを見ることができて、ジャンプもしてたとのこと。
この程度の遭遇でも遭遇には変わりないようで、「クジラに遭遇できなかった場合、ホエールウオッチング・クルーズに無料で再乗船できるパスを発行致します。」には該当しませんでした。

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など25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

You can enjoy it even in December. 12月でも楽しめる

Reviewed by: Naocky

This is a pool located about a 40-minute drive from Waikiki. In December, the wind can feel a bit chilly, but it's not too bothersome if the sun is out. The attractions change every 30 minutes, but you can easily tell which rides are operating by the lines of people. It was unfortunate that the Tornado was closed all day. It's quite rare in Hawaii to enjoy both alcohol and tobacco together (you receive a wristband when you order alcohol).

ワイキキから車で40分程度のところにあるプールです。12月は風が若干肌寒く感じますが、日差しがあればそこまで気になりません。稼働中のアトラクションは30分ごとに入れ代わりますが、動いている乗り物は人が並んでいるのですぐにわかります。トルネードが終日クローズだったのが残念でした。ハワイでは非常に珍しく、アルコールとタバコを一緒に楽しめます。（酒を頼むとリストバンドを付けられます。）

ハワイでパラセーリング　高さ120m／150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞！＜ヒルトン・ワイキキ＞

It felt great! 気持ちよかったです！

Reviewed by: SSS

We participated with our 13-year-old and 11-year-old children. We made a reservation online from Japan and had no idea what to expect. However, a car picked us up at the hotel and took us to the port, where we boarded the boat right away. We joined other foreigners who had signed up directly on-site and took off as parent-child pairs. Once the boat moved out to sea, we put on life jackets and strapped on the equipment, then soared into the sky all at once. The thrill was incredible! We floated in the air for about five minutes, and as we were being lowered while the rope was reeled in, we landed back on the boat. I was amazed at how easily we could fly! The kids enjoyed it very much and weren't scared at all.

１３才と１１才の子供と４人で参加しました。日本からネットで予約して参加しました。どんな感じか全く想像できませんでしたが、ホテルまで車で迎えがあり、港まで連れて行ってくれて、すぐにボートに乗船しました。現地で、直接申込みしている外人さん達と一緒に乗船し、親子ペアで最初に飛びました。船が沖まで進むと、ライフジャケットを着て器具を装着し、一気に上空へ飛び上がりました。その快感は最高でした！上空で５分ほど空中をふわふわし、ロープを巻き取られながら下降してボートへ着地。こんなに簡単に飛べるんだ〜〜と驚きでした。子供たちも怖がることなく、とっても楽しめて気に入っていました。

During the cruise, I was able to see whales multiple times. クルーズ中、何度もくじらを見ることができました。

Reviewed by: masa

It was my first whale watching cruise in Hawaii, and the weather was great. Shortly after heading out to sea, we encountered a mother and calf whale, and we were able to see whales multiple times until the cruise ended. Due to Hawaiian law, we had to maintain a distance from the whales while watching, but there was one moment when a whale appeared right next to the cruise ship, and I was amazed by its impressive size. It was such a sudden appearance that I regretted not being able to take a photo. The cruise ship, the Navatik, was a catamaran, which meant there was little rocking, making for a comfortable cruise. I heard that during the season, whales can also be seen from Waikiki, but being able to see them up close from the cruise ship really allows you to feel the power of the whales. I highly recommend this cruise for anyone planning to go whale watching.

ハワイでの初ホエールウォッチングクルージングでしたが、天気も良く沖に出て間もなく親子くじらと遭遇しクルーズが終了するまで何度もくじらを見ることができました。ハワイの法律でくじらに近づいてはだめとのことで距離を保ってのホエールウォチングでしたが、１回だけクルーズ船のすぐそばにくじらが現れたときは迫力の大きさに感動しました。いきなりの出現でしたので写真がとれなかったのは残念でした。またクルーズ船もナバティック号で双胴船のため揺れも少なく、快適なクルージングでした。シーズン中はワイキキからもくじらが見えるとのことでしたが、やはりクルーズ船で近くで見れるのはくじらの迫力を身近に感じることができて感動します。ホエールウオッチングを予定されている方には、おすすめのクルーズです。

Exciting Activity

Reviewed by: Helen Wu

This is my first time doing parasailing with a fear of height, so it is almost like a mission impossible, therefore, I chose the lowest height which is 300 feet. it turned out it was not scary at all, I thought i would felt uncomfortable when they lifted us up from the boat, but I didn't. it was very stable when we were up to the sky flying. When we came back, it was not like we were dropped to the water, we landed back on the boat. So for those who thought you would be dropped into water, that is not going to happen. So try this one, I recommend it to anyone who would like a great view of waikiki beach in the sky.

I ordered a paid cocktail on board, and since I was returning home the next day and didn't have enough US dollars on hand, I requested to pay with my card. The other guests at the same table were immediately asked to sign for their credit cards, but my card was not returned. When I inquired, they asked if all my orders were complete, and after I confirmed they were, they said they would bring it right away, but it never came. Even after prompting again, nothing happened. When I asked a Japanese staff member in Japanese if they were skimming my card, it was returned, but they said, "You should pay with cash or a traveler's check instead of a card," and as they left, they patted my shoulder and said, "This is normal in America. It's different from Japan."

I said I didn't want to pay a tip, but they insisted, "Please give what you feel," and I paid $2 on a $16 order, but I didn't want to return it and pay for the cocktail. I have traveled to mainland America and have been to more than five states. This does not seem normal for America. I was without my card for such a long time, and even after three prompts, all I got was "wait."

I am more disappointed with the poor staff response than not seeing the whales. I would never recommend this to my friends.

チップは払いたくないと言いましたが「お気持ちでください」と請求され、16ドルの注文に2ドル払いましたが、返品してカクテル代も払いたくありませんでした。
アメリカ本土にも旅行したことがあります。五つ以上の州にも行ってます。アメリカの普通とは思えません。それほど長い時間カードを返して貰えず、3度の催促にも「待って」だけでした。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

I was able to meet a honu (sea turtle)!! ホヌに会えました！！

Reviewed by: 楽しいこと大好き

I arrived in Honolulu on the morning of November 20 and participated in a tour that afternoon. The next day was my son's wedding, so it felt like a bit of a mix between the two events, but of course, this was my first trip to Hawaii for the wedding.

I was searching for a tour at the last minute and hoped to join one the day after the wedding, but there were no openings. I really wanted to participate in this tour, and since it was available the day before, I made an immediate reservation. I had only snorkeled once a year and a half ago, borrowing equipment at a hotel in Cebu and trying it out on the hotel's private beach in shallow water. At that time, I only saw a few dark fish.

When the tide went out, I realized how limited my experience had been, and I really wanted to try snorkeling with an instructor at least once and hoped to see a honu (sea turtle), so I signed up.

Alan picked us up from the hotel on time. He spoke Japanese well and was very friendly. That day's participants included us, aged 62 and 58, and a young couple. We stopped by a shop to fit our equipment. As soon as we entered, Alan said, "Today we will dive 30 meters." What?! I was half serious about it. Maybe I was just nervous since I had just arrived in Honolulu that morning. Alan, with a friendly smile, reassured me that he was joking, sensing my tension and trying to ease it.

We arrived at Hanauma Bay and took a picture with a view of the bay. After watching a video, we headed to the beach. There was a brief explanation of how to use the equipment and how to breathe. We stored our important belongings in a large box, locked it, and secured it to a tree with a chain. After using the restroom, we headed to the sea.

We practiced a bit in the shallow water, about waist-deep, and then paired up, holding hands and following Alan. We were able to see various fish, both small and large, and I was especially happy to see a honu. The honu swam leisurely, and I thought to myself that I wanted to live life just as leisurely. Alan held my hand along the way, making it easy for me to enjoy the experience with my husband in between us. I felt completely at ease, even in deeper water, and it was fun. We wore life jackets, and with Alan around, I felt safe.

The snorkel mouthpiece was a bit uncomfortable, though. If it loosened, water would come in from the side, so I had to occasionally lift my head and adjust it. I snorkeled two more times during this trip, but I no longer felt discomfort in my mouth. I guess I was just tensing up. We swam for quite a while in Hanauma Bay, so I didn't feel too tired in the water, but once we got back on land, my legs were fatigued. However, I felt refreshed; it was a fun experience on my first day in Hawaii. Thank you, Alan. To the young couple we were with, wishing you happiness, thank you.

For beginners, you can feel assured with Alan's fluent Japanese support. You'll surely get to see a honu!

11月20日朝ホノルルに到着し、その日の昼にツアーに参加。
翌日は息子の結婚式という、どっちがメイン？みたいになってしまいましたが、もちろん結婚式のための初ハワイでしたが。
渡航ぎりぎりのツアー探しで、結婚式翌日の参加を希望しましたが空きがなく、どうしてもこのツアーに参加したくて、前日なら可能だったので即予約しました。
シュノーケリングは1年半前に一度だけ。
セブのホテルで用具だけ借りて自己流で、ホテルのプライベートビーチで岸辺近くのすぐに背が立つような場所でちょっとやっただけ。その時は黒っぽい魚を少し見られただけでした。
潮が引いてみると、こんな場所でしてたのぉ～みたいなしょぼい経験しかなく、ぜひ一度インストラクター付でしたかったのと、ホヌにぜひとも会いたかったので申込みました。

アランさんが、時間通りにホテルにお迎え、日本語も上手で、とても気さくな方でした。
その日の参加は、私達62歳と58歳、そして若いカップル一組。
ショップに立ち寄り用具合わせ。
ショップに入ってアランさんが開口一番、今日は３０メートル潜ります。
えっ？！
私は半分マジになりました。
朝ホノルルに着いたばかりでそれだけ緊張していたのかも。
冗談ですよ～と気さくな笑顔のアランさん。緊張を見てとって、ほぐしてくださったのかな。

ハナウマ湾に到着。湾を一望できる所で一枚パチリ。ビデオを見てからビーチへ。
用具の使い方、呼吸の仕方などの簡単な説明、大事な荷物は大きなボックスに収納し、ボックスを施錠し木にチェーンで固定し施錠。トイレも済ませて海へ。
砂浜の、腰くらいの深さの所で少し練習し、ペアで手をつないでアランさんについていきました。

小さな魚や大きな魚などいろいろ見ることができ、何と言ってもホヌに会えたので嬉しかったですね。
ホヌはゆったりと泳いでいました。わたし達もゆったり生きていきたいですねえ。
途中アランさんが手を引いてくれて、私はダンナとサンドイッチで楽ちんでした。
深い所でも全然不安もなく、楽しかったです。救命胴衣もつけるし、アランさんもいるので安心です。
シュノーケルをくわえる口元が、少ししんどかったかな。緩むと横から水が入ってくるので、時々顔をあげてくわえ直しました。この旅行でこの後2回シュノーケリングしましたが、口元のしんどさは感じなくなりました。たぶん、余分な力が入っていたのでしょうね。
ハナウマ湾でかなりの時間泳いでいたので、海の中ではあまり感じなかったけれど、陸にあがったら足が疲れてました。
でも気分爽快、初ハワイ初日の、楽しい体験でした。
アランさん、どうもありがとう。ご一緒した若いカップルさん、お幸せに、ありがとう。

初心者の人も、日本語ペラペラのアランさんのサポートがあるので安心です。
きっとホヌに会えますよ。

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

I am satisfied with the enjoyable tour. 楽しいツアーで満足です。

Reviewed by: momo

I went on a sandbar tour during the cold period at the end of November, which was not during low tide. It was indeed cold, and I couldn't see the sandbar like you do on TV, but the sea was beautiful, I enjoyed snorkeling, and I even saw sea turtles. It was a very satisfying tour. The tour guides were also very attentive and made sure we had a great time, which made the experience even more fulfilling.

11月末という寒い時期に、干潮時間ではないサンドバーツアーに行きました。
確かに寒くてテレビで見るようなサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、海は綺麗で、シュノーケリングも楽しめたし、海亀も見れて、大変満足なツアーでした。
ツアーガイドの方々も私たちを存分に楽しませようとしてくれるのがわかって充実しました。

ハワイでパラセーリング　高さ120m／150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞！＜ヒルトン・ワイキキ＞

It's fun, but... 楽しいけど、

Reviewed by: みみみ

The boat ride was extremely bumpy, and I got quite seasick. It was fun, but motion sickness medication is a must.

Also, if the service is good, I usually leave a tip on the way out, but I’ve noticed people conspicuously leaving $20 or $30 bills. Japanese people tend to feel obligated to leave a similar amount, but it’s not necessary to pay that much. A tip of around $2 to $3 is more than enough. Be careful not to feel pressured to tip excessively.

めちゃくちゃ船の運転が荒く、かなり船酔いしました。楽しかったですが、酔い止め必須です。
また、サービスがよければ帰り際にチップを置いていきますが、これ見よがしに20や30ドル札を置いています。日本人は気を遣って同じくらい置いてしまいますが、そんなに払う必要なし。せいぜい2～3程度で十分です。気を遣わないように注意。
