I participated in late March, towards the end of the season. It seems that if you can't see any whales, you can get a reboarding ticket, but due to scheduling conflicts, I couldn't reboard, so I was worried about whether I would see any whales.
In the end, I was able to see whales up close. I had booked a meal-inclusive course, but if you see a whale, you should focus on watching the whale and interrupt your meal. There is plenty of time for dining.
シーズン終盤の3月下旬に参加しました。
見られない場合は再乗船券をもらえるようですが、スケジュールの都合で再乗船はできないので、クジラが見られるか心配でした。
結果は間近でクジラを見ることができました。食事付きのコースを予約しましたが、クジラが見えたら食事を中断してクジラを見ることに専念すべきです。食事の時間は結構あります。

There is a wide variety of slides that even adults can enjoy. There are some height restrictions, but most slides are accessible for elementary school students in lower grades. However, I don't think it's a place you would want to visit repeatedly.
スライダーの種類が豊富で大人でも楽しめます。一部身長制限がありますが、小学校低学年でもほとんどのスライダー利用可能です。ただ、何度もリピートするほどではないと思います。

We participated as a family of three. The driver picked us up alone.
Since there was no guide, there was no explanation in the car.
We arrived at 10:00. Participants were lined up in a row in front of the gate. There was no explanation of what time the opening was, and we had to wait in the blazing sun until the opening at 10:30. (It was there that we learned it opened at 10:30.)
We headed to the lockers. There were no explanations or Japanese signage, so we had no idea about the system. By watching the people in line at the shop, we learned that you pay for the locker there to receive a key. By the time we figured it out, there was a long line. (Later, I saw Japanese people who arrived after us panicking, thinking there were no available lockers because they saw that the keys were not hanging.)
Perhaps due to a lack of staff, not all slides were operating at the same time. They were alternating with neighboring ones, but we had no idea how long the intervals were. Everywhere we went was closed, and the places that were open had long waits. The lazy river only started operating after 12:00...
There were cockroaches floating in the lazy river...
While I enjoyed the thrilling slides and the wonderful scenery, the lack of understanding of the system meant we could only use a small part of it, resulting in a lot of wasted time. Most of the staff did not speak Japanese. In the end, there were even slides that I never saw operating. It left me feeling that one visit might be enough.
家族3人で参加しました。運転手の方一人でピックアップ。
ガイドがいない為、車内でとくに何の説明もありませんでした。
10時に到着。ゲート前に参加者一列に並ばされました。オープンは何時との説明も無く、ただ炎天下で、オープンの10時半まで待たされました。(そこで10時半オープンと知る)
とりあえずロッカーへ向かう。説明も日本語表記も無いのでシステムが全く分からない。売店に並ぶ人を見て、そこでロッカー代金を支払うと鍵をもえらえる仕組みなんだと知る。知った時には長蛇の列。(後からくる日本人は鍵がぶら下がっていないロッカーを見て、空きがないと勘違いして焦る人も見かけた)
スタッフが少ないのか、スライダーが全て同時に稼働しない。隣り合うものと時間交替になっている。それも何時間で交替なのかも分からない。行くところ行くところクローズばかりで、稼働しているところは順番待ち。流れるプールも12時過ぎてから稼働…
流れるプールにゴキブリが浮いていた…
日本には無いスリルのあるスライダーと素晴らしい景色でそれ自体は楽しめましたが、とにかくシステムが何も分からない事でごく一部しか利用できず、無駄な時間ばかりでした。日本語通じないスタッフがほとんど。結局、稼働したのを一度も見なかったスライダーさえありました。一度行けばいいかなという残念な感じでした。

The weather was nice on the day of the cruise, and it was a fun experience. The contrast between the buildings of Waikiki and the natural beauty of Diamond Head was very beautiful and moving.
However, it was a bit disappointing for my wife, who had been looking forward to the whale watching cruise since before our trip.

We participated as a family of five (two adults and three children).
I was worried about whether my elementary school-aged child could go snorkeling, but the staff provided excellent support, allowing my daughter to see dolphins up close! On that day, we were also lucky enough to see a whale jumping, and the staff was quite excited about it. After that, we changed locations for snorkeling in a spot with high visibility. We encountered not only many fish but also sea turtles and sharks, making it an absolutely amazing time!
Dancing on the boat, delicious cheeseburgers, hula dance lessons... it was truly a satisfying tour!
This became our family's top memory from our trip to Hawaii!
家族5名(大人2・子供3)で参加しました。
小学生の子供がいてシュノーケリング出来るか不安でしたが、スタッフの方が丁寧にサポートしてくれたので、娘もイルカを間近に見る事が出来ました♪
またその日はラッキーな事に、クジラがジャンプしている姿を見る事も出来、スタッフの方も興奮気味☆☆☆
その後ポイントを変え、透明度の高い場所でのシュノーケリング。
たくさんの魚たちだけでなく海がめやサメとも出会え、本当にサイコーの時間を過ごせました!!

What an experience... I have a fear of heights that I've developed with age... This is NOT scary, this is simply amazing. I felt completely safe and seeing the crystal clear blue water from a couple of hundred feet up in the air was unbelievable. It's quiet up in the air, extremely serene, you can take in the beauty of the cove, the reef and mountains in such a different way. 10 mins up in the air is actually a surprisingly long time - even when you skydive you generally hit the ground within a few minutes so this way you actually get to appreciate the view, with the adrenalin rush of leaving the boat and being so high, feet dangling! what makes these guys different is that they take A LOT of photos and they have a camera attached to the parachute - it's worth buying at the end - they're great quality. The team is fantastic... definitely want to go out with them again and try the other activities... thanks Seabreeze!!!

I participated on March 22. Since it was near the end of the season, I was worried about not seeing any whales, but I thought it would be good to enjoy the cruising experience. While we were still on our way to the destination, we saw a spout at the back of the boat. There was no announcement at that time. After that, with the captain's announcement, we were able to see spouts and dark bodies multiple times. When the tail fin was visible, all the participants cheered. The wind was strong, but my whole family was satisfied. Thank you very much.

I didn't feel seasick on the large ship, and there was no rocking. Although I couldn't see anything on the way there, we spotted a whale when we turned around! It was off the coast between Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, showing its back and tail. I was able to capture it on video.
The staff provided explanations, but it was unfortunate that we couldn't hear them well from the first floor. The second floor might be better for staff who want to see far away. I think it's fine for visitors to be on the first floor.
The whale is not visible in the photo. The mountain is Diamond Head.

I participated on March 24th. Since I tend to get seasick, I took motion sickness medication early, which may have helped, but I did feel a bit nauseous when the waves were rough.

You won't have time to enjoy the scenery; it's incredibly thrilling!!! The height is the same as the main observation deck of Tokyo Tower…! Well… if you're looking for a unique experience that you can only get overseas, this is the best. Just be prepared if you're not a fan of heights, though it's not that bad for me. People with acrophobia should think carefully (laughs). Make sure to take motion sickness medication! Also, depending on the waves, it might be impossible to take photos or videos, so it's a good idea to prepare $30 to have the guy take pictures for you. Don't forget to tip. The photos turned out great◎ It might be worth experiencing at least once.
景色を見る余裕もなく、めちゃくちゃスリリング!!!
最高の高さは東京タワーの大展望台と同じ…!
まあ…海外ならではの経験を求めるならコレはベストだよ。
ただ高い所は嫌いじゃないけどあんまりな~…な人は覚悟した方がいい。

酔い止めは必ず!あと、写真やビデオカメラは波の荒れ方によっては撮影不可能だから30ドル用意してお兄さんに写真を撮ってもらうのがいいですよ。

In Japan, there are long lines for attractions, but here in Hawaii, you can wait without much stress, as expected ( ´ ▽ ` ). I went during the peak season, but I chose a weekday.
First, I headed straight to the lockers. After that, I just enjoyed the "less crowded attractions" as much as possible. I chose a course without lunch included, but the hot dogs at the concession stand were delicious. Honestly, when you're hungry, anything tastes good.
I felt it was a waste of time to have lunch, so I picked a course without a buffet, and it was the right choice since my kids were more into playing than eating. However, if you miss the timing to line up at the concession stand, you might lose about 30 minutes… so it's best to buy early.
I want to go again!
日本では長蛇の列…状態のアトラクションもここならそんなにストレスなく待てるのは、さすがハワイ( ´ ▽ ` )
行った時期はオンシーズンだったけど、平日を選んだ。
まずはロッカーにまっしぐら。その後は、とにかく「空いてるアトラクション」から楽しみまくるのみ。
ランチのついてないコースを選んだけど、売店のホットドックは美味しかったよ。てゆーか、腹空いてりゃ何でも美味しいし。
ランチの時間がもったいないからバイキングのついてないコースを選んだけど、子供も「飯より遊び」て感じだったから正解だった。
ただ、売店に並ぶタイミングをミスると30分くらいはロスするかも…
早めに買うべし。

WOW! From the moment we arrived at the pier (we drove as we had a toddler with us) Jenner was playful and set a great mood. Everyone was excited for a day on the water, even though the weather didn't look too great. The Sandbar was fantastic, it's a unique experience being in the middle of the ocean, walking around. My husband had NEVER snorkeled before and found it hard to put the experience into words; he saw fish he'd only ever seen in documentaries and he was fascinated by the colours and the way they would swim around him... he's now officially addicted. Lunch was really good; well organised, quick and tasty. Our little one kinda freaked out on the boat and the staff were great with cheering him up. Jenner played his guitar while we ate and I've never felt more relaxed and like I was "in Hawaii". We saw turtles, the coral reef we moved to after the sand bar was unbelievable - the marine life is abundant and a hot cocoa at the end of a day snorkeling in cooler water was a perfect e

I was truly thrilled to be able to touch the dolphins! Sea Life Park may not be very large, but the location overlooking the ocean is wonderful, and if I had more time, I would have loved to relax and gaze at the sea. There were frequent shows happening in various pools, so I felt like I was running towards the cheers. I wish I could have spent a bit more time there.
One disappointing thing was that we participated in the Dolphin Adventure, but we weren't informed that there were two pools. My mother and sister were waiting with a camera at the main pool, but we ended up in the back pool. It would be great if spectators could also join the pre-briefing.
The prices for photos and DVDs were a bit high, which was painful. However, the cuteness of the dolphins made it all worth it. My sister definitely wants to participate next time.
イルカに触れられて本当に感激でした!
シーライフパークはけして広くはないのですが、海を臨むロケーションは素晴らしく時間があればのんびり海を眺めていたいくらいでした。あちこちのプールで頻繁にショーをやっていたので歓声の上がる方へ走っていくといった感じでもう少し時間が取れれば良かったかな。
ひとつ残念だったことに、私たちはドルフィン・アドベンチャーに参加したのですがプールが二つあることを知らされておらず、母と姉がメインプールでカメラを用意して待ち構えてたにもかかわらず…私たちは裏のプールに。

It was said that we couldn't get closer than 100 yards (just under 100 meters) for whale protection, but I felt like we could see the whales' tails, spouts, and backs from a few hundred meters away. I chose a plan that included lunch and transportation, but the lunch might have been unnecessary. (During the meal, there were announcements about whale sightings, so I couldn't eat in peace, and the food got cold and wasn't tasty.)
I think it would be better to separate the experiences: a reasonable morning tour focused on whale watching, and a sunset dinner cruise on the same Star of Honolulu for enjoying a meal. Also, since the whales were quite far away, I feel that my child wouldn't be very impressed even when they grow up a bit more. (Unless we were lucky enough to have the whales come closer.)
I chose the transportation option, but the area around Aloha Tower, where the boat departs, has a small mall, and it seemed like a nice place to stroll, so it might be better to take a taxi ourselves.
100ヤード(100メートル弱)以内には、鯨保護のために近寄れないとのことでしたが、感覚的には数百メートル先で鯨さんの尻尾や潮吹き、数回背中などが望めました。 私は1歳8ヶ月の子連れで、ランチつき、送迎付のプランを選択しましたが、ランチは余計だったかもしれません。(食べている間にも鯨発見!のアナウンスが流れたりして落ち着いて食べられず、冷めてしまって美味しくないので)
なので、鯨を見るなら鯨を見る、に集中したリーズナブルな午前中のツアー、お食事を楽しむなら同じスターオブホノルル号で行くサンセットディナークルーズ、と分けたほうが良いような気がしました。 また、あまりに鯨が遠いので、子どもは相当大きくなってもあまり感動しない気がします。(運良く近くに来てくれれば別でしょうけれども)。
送迎付を選びましたが、船の発着するアロハタワー近辺はちょっとしたモールもあって、お散歩するのも楽しそうだったので自分たちでタクシーで行くほうが良いかもしれません。

My dream of standing on a sandbar during my trip to Hawaii came true, and it was amazing. When I walked on the sandbar, the water was about ankle-deep, but standing there, I could see a beautiful panoramic view of the blue ocean, which felt wonderful. The staff kindly offered to take photos, saying, "Let’s take some pictures," and they captured various angles for us.
For snorkeling, I was provided with a life jacket, snorkel, and aqua pole (a cylindrical float), and I got ready. Since it was my first time snorkeling, they taught me how to use the equipment, and I swam. When I swam to the area with coral, I could see many small fish swimming around. I think it would be better to practice snorkeling beforehand so that you can swim further and enjoy it more. Those who were just in swimsuits looked a bit cold, but I wasn’t cold because I wore a short-sleeve T-shirt over my swimsuit.
The staff explained everything in Japanese, which made it easy to understand and reassuring. On the way, we also saw three large sea turtles swimming. It was a fun cruise tour, and I would love to go again.
ハワイ旅行でサンドバーの上に立つ夢がかない最高でした。サンドバーの上を歩くと水が足首くらいまであったけれどその上に立ち一面パノラマできれいな青い海が見えてとても気持ち良かったです。スタッフの方は「写真を撮りましょう。」と親切に声をかけて下さりいろいろな方向を向いた写真を撮って下さいました。
シュノーケリングでは、ライフジャケット、シュノーケル、アクアポール(円筒形ビート板)を貸してもらい身支度しました。スノーケリングは初めてでしたので使い方を教えてもらい泳ぎました。サンゴのある所まで泳いで行くと小魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが見えました。シュノーケリングは事前に練習して行く方が遠くまで泳げて楽しめると思いました。水着だけの人は少し寒そうでしたが私は、水着の上に半袖Tシャツを着ていたので寒くなかったです。
スタッフの方が日本語で話して説明して下さったのでよくわかり安心できました。また、行く途中に3びき大きなウミガメが泳いでいるのを見ました。楽しいクルーズツアーでした。また、行ってみたいです

This is something that depends on nature, so it's hard to say...
I chose to participate in Navatek because the STAR OF HONOLULU has a larger ship, making it difficult to get a window seat.
I saw the spout and tail fins about eight times, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the main body. However, the weather was pleasant, and I enjoyed the nature tour.
Onboard, the nature guide provided constant commentary (in English). There was one Japanese guide, but their explanations were quite soft-spoken and difficult to hear, which was disappointing. Since there were many Japanese guests, I hope they can improve on this.
There are many decks, so if it’s not crowded, there was plenty of space to wait outside for the whales.

I participated in the morning whale watching cruise with Star of Honolulu (without breakfast buffet).
After boarding, we were guided to seats on the first floor, where everyone listened to a whale watching lecture. There was an explanation in English followed by one in Japanese. Once the lecture was over, we dispersed to wait for the whales to appear at our preferred spots (most people went to the top deck, the fourth floor). The ship also provides free motion sickness medication, but you'll need water to take it.
When a whale is spotted, they announce the direction and distance over the loudspeaker. I was able to catch a glimpse of the spout and tail. You can leisurely enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea, which is nice for those who want to relax, but if you're expecting to see whales up close in a dramatic way, it might not meet your expectations.
By the way, the parking at Aloha Tower costs $3 for the first 30 minutes, and then $3 for every additional 30 minutes, so it might be good to time your arrival with the departure time. In the morning, the shops were still closed. The second floor of the shopping arcade was under renovation and closed.
スターオブホノルルの午前中のホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。(朝食ビュッフェ無し)
乗船して1階の席に案内され、ホエールウォッチングのレクチャーをみんなで聴きます。英語の後、日本語での解説があります。 レクチャーが終わると解散、好きな場所でクジラの出現を待ちます。(ほとんどの方々が最上階・4階のデッキへ)
船内で酔い止めも無料で配ってくれますが、飲むのに水が必要です。
クジラを見つけると、放送で方向と距離を教えてくれます。
潮吹きや尻尾がチラッと見ることができました。
海からのホノルルの街をのんびりと眺めることができるので、
のんびりしたい方には良いと思いますが、クジラを間近で迫力ある姿を期待すると、いまひとつかもしれません。
ちなみに、アロハタワーの駐車場は、最初の30分で3ドル、その後30分毎に3ドル掛かるので、出港時間に合わせて行くのが良いかも。朝はまだお店は開いていませんでした。
ショッピングアーケードの2階は改装中で閉鎖されていました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. Whales can be very active on certain days, and on those days, you can see them jumping high. Please come back to search for such whales if you have the opportunity.
The weekday parking fee at Aloha Tower is $3 for the first 3 hours. After that, an additional $3 is charged every 30 minutes. On Saturdays and Sundays, it is $5 all day (as of 03/25/2012).
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

I was moved by the experience of interacting with dolphins and swimming with them. It was a nice keepsake to be able to purchase the photos taken by the photographer.
イルカと触れ合えて一緒に泳げたことに感動しました。カメラマンが撮ったフォトを購入できるので記念になりました。

I was surprised by the number of foreign participants, more than I expected. We were able to see the whale's tail and spouting, and the children were very happy. Aloha Tower is a stop for the Waikiki Trolley, so if you participate in the afternoon, you might not need transportation. Our family used the morning service, so we opted for transportation, but on the way back, we asked the driver to drop us off at Ala Moana Center. I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.
思ったより外国人の参加が多く驚きました。
クジラのしっぽと潮吹きが確認でき、子どもたちも大喜びでした。
アロハタワーはワイキキトロリーの停留所なので、午後の参加なら送迎は不要かも。我が家は午前利用だったので送迎付きにしましたが、帰りは運転手さんに申し出てアラモアナセンターで降ろしてもらいました。
また機会があれば参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you for your comment. We are very happy to hear that you encountered whales. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again!

The dolphins were adorable. You can actually touch them. The photos are quite expensive, but they take great shots. It became a wonderful memory.
イルカが可愛かったです。実際に触れます。
写真はすごく高いですが、いいショットで撮ってくれます。いい思い出になりました。

Since it was March, it was a bit chilly. I recommend participating in this tour during warmer times. The water was cold, and we walked towards the sandbar while enduring it a little. If you’re not good with the cold, definitely bring a rash guard! When I participated, there was no beach, and I was about 20 centimeters submerged in water at the sandbar. So, if you’re aiming for a complete beach experience, it might be better to check the timing. As for snorkeling, I thought we would be doing it in shallow areas, but it was actually quite deep, which might be tough for first-timers, children, or those who aren’t strong swimmers. My mother, who was with me, said she was scared and watched from the board. However, while we were on the boat, we saw a manta ray and a sea turtle, which was very exciting! I heard that on lucky days, you can see both!
時期が3月という事もあり肌寒かったです。こちらのツアーは温かい時期に参加される事をオススメします。水も冷たく、少し我慢しながらサンドバーめがけてあるいていきました。寒いのが苦手な方はぜひラッシュガードを!私が参加したときは、砂浜はでてこず、サンドバーでも20センチ位水につかっていました。なので、完全な砂浜を目的にしている方は時期を確認されていてからの方が良いかもしれませんね。シュノーケリングは、浅い所でやるのかと思いきや、結構深い所だったので、初めてシュノーケリングする方や子供さんや泳ぎが不得意という方には厳しいかもしれません。同行した母は、怖いといってボードで見ていました。でも、ボートで走っている途中では、マンタとウミガメが見れ、とても感激しました!運が良い日は両方見られるらしいですよ!
