There was a captain who could speak Japanese, and he made the conversation very entertaining with jokes. I was very satisfied because we could see not only dolphins but also whales and turtles! The lunch was a buffet style and very delicious. The snorkeling was the same as in Japan!

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wasn't very familiar with it, but although the weather was clear, it seems the conditions at sea were rather poor. I signed up based on experiences that mentioned the large ship would prevent seasickness, but the strong winds and high waves caused the ship to sway significantly, resulting in many people feeling seasick. We didn't see any whales at all...
Personally, I didn't get seasick, so my memory of the cruise ended up being just watching the people on board and on the deck who were feeling unwell. (I also thought it was a bit late for the crew to start distributing sickness bags just before returning to port.) We were given re-boarding tickets, but they were only valid within the same season (until March of that year), which is quite a hurdle for Japanese tourists. It might be nice to have some kind of souvenir distribution for those who didn't see any whales...
I do have a desire to see whales someday, but since I paid a decent amount and this was the experience I had, I think it's disappointing, and I probably won't use this plan again.
初ハワイだったのでよく知りませんが、晴れてはいたものの、洋上はどちらかというと悪天候だったのでしょうか。
船が大きく船酔いしないという体験談を見て申し込みましたが、風が強く、波も高く、船が大きく揺れた為に、船酔いする人が大勢いました。

またいつかクジラを見てみたい気持ちはありますが、まぁまぁの金額を支払って、こんな感じだったので、残念ですがもうこのプランは利用しないだろうと思います。
It depends on luck. There are experiences where people didn't get seasick, but like my family, even with taking anti-nausea medication, there's still a possibility of being seasick for two hours. I th

It was my first time going whale watching. There were also small boat tours available, but I was glad to be on a larger boat since the waves were quite high. There were a few small boats around us, but they seemed to be struggling with the waves. I was able to see the whales blowing water from a distance. I wished I could have seen them a bit closer, but since they are wild whales, it can't be helped.
初めてのホエールウォッチング、小さな船のツアーも有りましたが、波もそこそこ高く、大きな船で良かったです。
周りに、何隻か小さな船も来てましたが、波に揺られで、大変そうでした。
クジラは、遠くで、潮を吹いてるのが確認出来ました。
もう少し近くで見たかったですが、野生のクジラですから、仕方ないですね
If you're worried about seasickness, choose a larger ship!

I participated in a whale watching tour in Hawaii on the Star of Honolulu. I boarded the ship feeling excited and thrilled. Since it was a large vessel, after exploring the interior, I headed to the deck with a view of the ocean. I enjoyed looking at the blue sea with my friends. Although we didn't encounter any whales, we had a great view of Diamond Head and the cityscape of Waikiki in the distance. There was no rocking, and the pleasant breeze made me feel refreshed.
I wanted to see a jumping whale, but it's understandable since they are wild creatures. The pineapple cake and tea were very delicious.

ジャンプする鯨を見たかったですが、自然界の生き物なので仕方ないですね。パイナップルケーキと紅茶はとても美味しかったです。
When there are three participants, the selection screen only had options for two or fewer, so I recommend clearly communicating the number of people attending.

The dancers were truly professional. The hula dance and singing were both very wonderful. The costumes changed multiple times, which added to the enjoyment. I think those from the generation that knows Elvis and Michael will have a great time. I didn't know much about Elvis, but the older guests seemed to really enjoy it. Michael was a bit taller, but I had a great time with him as well. The fire dance was really surprising. Since it was right in front of me, I could feel the heat of the flames. It was a long time from dinner to the show, but I really enjoyed it.

I originally signed up for 7:20, but I received a message the day before the tour asking to change it to 8:20. I couldn't answer the call because I was in another activity, and I only noticed the message later when I checked my email. It might be a good idea to check your phone and email frequently while staying in Hawaii, at least until the day before the tour.
A cheerful driver picked us up. We received water after descending (I might have wanted it earlier, haha). From the bottom, the summit looked very far away, and I was worried about whether I could return in two hours with my preschooler (who is in their last year). However, we were able to climb more smoothly than I expected. After descending, we had enough time to rest on a bench and look at souvenirs.
元々7:20で申込んでいましたが、ツアーの前日に8:20に変更して欲しいとの連絡がありました。
別のアクティビティ中に着信が来ていたので電話には出られず、後からメールを見て気づくことができました。

I have been visiting Hawaii once or twice a year, and this time, I finally managed to visit during the season when it's possible to see whales, even though it's the rainy season.
Honestly, the chances were fifty-fifty, but we were blessed with good weather, making for a decent cruising day. However, the whales were not making an appearance for quite some time, and I thought we might have missed out this time as I was just enjoying the beautiful views of Honolulu and Diamond Head.
Then, just like something out of a TV drama's ending, we had an incredible encounter. We saw spouts, double diving, and even dolphins joining the show—it was fantastic! My wife was so moved that she was inexplicably praying. 😆
毎年1〜2回 ハワイを訪れていましたが今回ようやく、雨季ではありますが鯨と対面可能な時期に訪れる事が出来ました。

The guide was very friendly and wonderful, and they took us snorkeling all around Hanauma Bay. However, considering the fee to enter the sea, the water clarity was low, and there were mostly dull-colored fish, which was disappointing given my high expectations for snorkeling. It was early in the morning, too... But the guide was the best!
とてもフレンドリーで素敵なガイドさんで、ハナウマ湾をくまなく?シュノーケリングしてくれました。ただ、お金を払って入る海の割には透明度が低く、魚も地味な色の魚ばかりで、期待が大きかっただけにシュノーケリングは残念でした。朝いちの海なのに…。でも、ガイドさんは最高!でした。
If you're going to pay to enter Hanauma Bay, I think you'd be much better off snorkeling at an unnamed beach in Miyako Island, where you can meet much more colorful and beautiful tropical fish.
ハナウマ湾にお金を払って入るなら、宮古島の名もない海岸でシュノーケリングした方がよっぽどカラフルで綺麗な熱帯魚に会えると思います。

First of all, it was really helpful that there were staff members who could speak Japanese. There were several people at the reception, but one of them spoke Japanese, and even the Hawaiian staff provided explanations about paddling and how to hold the canoe in broken Japanese, which made it easy to understand and gave me a sense of reassurance. That aspect was quite significant.
As for the experience, it was truly memorable and one that I will cherish for a lifetime. We paddled out a little from the shore and then returned, and it reminded me of a scene from a Disney movie, like Moana, which made me smile. It was really great to have a Hawaiian experience with Diamond Head in the background! I can only express my gratitude to the locals. Thank you.
まず、日本語が話せるスタッフが居た事はすごく助かった。受付には複数人いたが、その中で1人日本語を話せる人がいてさらにカヌー乗船前の説明も漕ぎ方や持ち方などハワイ人が片言日本語で説明してくれてわかりやすくて安心感を覚えました。

During our second family trip to Hawaii, we were looking for activities that could be enjoyed by three generations in January and found whale watching, which we signed up for. We participated with my grandparents, who are over 60, and three children (ages 3, 1, and 0). On the day of the trip, the weather was nice, with no wind, and we departed on time. After boarding, we enjoyed self-service banana cake and coffee as a light snack.
About 15 minutes after departure, there was an announcement that we could go up to the rooftop (4th floor). The main way to get up there was by stairs, but there was also an elevator. I carried the 1-year-old and 0-year-old up to the rooftop, where we could see the hotels in Waikiki from a distance, and we spotted some boats enjoying marine activities in the morning.
After a while on the rooftop, there was an announcement indicating the direction of the whales, which was easy to understand even for those who don't speak much English. We were able to see a pod of about four whales for about an hour, and we also saw dolphins along the way. Since the sun was a bit strong on the rooftop, it might be better for the kids to wait in the shade until the whales are visible before moving around.
At first, we could see the whales from a distance, but later on, it seemed like the boat chased after them, allowing us to see them up close. Honestly, it was easier to see from the sofa on the first floor than from above, and stepping outside from there allowed us to see the whales in the shade and up close! There were staff members on the first floor who pointed out where to look, which was fantastic.
We noticed several other tour boats around us, and they seemed to be rocking quite a bit, which might be tough for those not used to being on boats. We went as far as the front of Diamond Head before turning back, and we returned to the port a bit earlier than scheduled, around 11:20, making disembarkation smooth. If we hadn't spotted any whales, it might have taken longer, but since we saw them well, it might have been quicker.
Overall, we had a very satisfying half-day experience, and I highly recommend this activity! Lastly, there was no validation (discount) for parking, so we paid $18 for 30 minutes at $3 each.
2回目の家族でのハワイ旅行で3世代で楽しめる1月のアクティビティを探していたところ、ホエールウォッチングを見つけて申し込みました。60オーバーの祖父母と子供3人(3歳、1歳、0歳)で参加しましたが、当日は天気も良く、風もない中で定刻通り出航して、乗船後に軽食のバナナケーキとコーヒーをセルフサービスでいただきました。
出航して15分ぐらいすると船の屋上(4F)に上がれるアナウンスがあり、基本は階段で上がりますがエレベーターもありました。
1歳と0歳は抱っこして屋上まで上がると、遠目にワイキキのホテルが見えて来て朝からマリンアクティビティを楽しむ人の船もちらほら見かけました。
屋上でしばらくすると時計の方向でクジラの位置を教えてくれるアナウンスがあり、英語があまりわからない方でもわかるようになっています。
肝心のクジラは4頭ぐらいの群れを1時間ぐらい見ることが出来て、途中イルカも見れました。屋上で見ていると日差しが少し強いので子供は日陰で待機してクジラが見えてから、動く方がいいかもしれません。
最初は遠目で見れていましたが、後半は船がクジラを追いかけたのか、すごく近くで見ることができました。
正直、上から見るより最初に座った1階のソファーから見る方が良く見えるし、そこから外に出て見る方が日陰でクジラを近くで見れます!
1階にはスタッフがいて、あっちに見える、こっちに見えると教えてもらえて最高です。
周りに何隻か他のツアーの船も見かけたのですが、結構揺れているのが見え、船に慣れていない方には厳しいかもしれません。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの正面?あたりまで行って折り返して帰って来たのですが、予定より少し早く11時20分ぐらいに帰港して下船もスムーズでした。クジラを発見できない場合はもう少し長くかかるのかもしれませんが、しっかり見れたので早かったのかもしれません。
全体的には大満足の半日を過ごせて、このアクティビティはおすすめです!
最後に駐車場はバリデーション(割引)がないので、30分3ドルで18ドルを支払いました。
The deck gets a lot of sunlight, so it's better to have a hat!

【Positive Aspects】
- If you have any questions before participating, you can get detailed answers via email (since other participants had inquired beforehand).
- On the day of participation, photos from the event are uploaded to Facebook, allowing you to download them at no additional cost (this was mentioned in reviews and during the event, but it seems it wasn't clearly stated on the website, so having that information would have been reassuring).
- Since the instructor is well-versed in Hanauma Bay, you can efficiently snorkel based on the information from the previous day and the sea conditions on the day of the event.
- After participating, you get a snack from a selection of snacks and a cold water bottle (this was a nice touch to satisfy a bit of hunger).
- You can borrow a mat that feels like a mat, so you don’t have to sit directly on the ground.
- There were no additional fees for participating alone (some other tours charge extra).
- Instead of joining an English tour or a transfer-only tour for a lower price, going with someone knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay allows for a more efficient and understandable snorkeling experience (initially, I planned to join the English tour because it was cheaper).
【Areas for Improvement】
- I had no complaints about my participation.
- As mentioned above, it would be reassuring if the website stated that you can receive photo data via Facebook.
- Especially in winter, it would be good to have a wetsuit rental plan available from the start (while it may not be possible for the company to offer this, carrying cash is becoming less common, and it would be convenient to avoid searching for cash or exchanging money during participation).
- It would be very convenient if the entrance fee could be paid in advance, especially if cash is absolutely required.
- It might be helpful to mention that there is a possibility of a multinational group rather than just Japanese participants (I understood this from the reviews and had no resistance to joining such a tour, but some people might assume it’s only for Japanese participants and feel dissatisfied).
- Since water is provided after participation, it’s a good idea to bring some water with you if you want to hydrate beforehand.
- One hour goes by quickly, so a plan that allows for about two hours of swimming would be great.
I decided to participate the day before and submitted a reservation request on a whim, but I received quick communication regarding the pickup time and location, which was helpful. On the day of the event, there were three participants in total, including myself, and snorkeling was done in pairs. I hadn’t planned to rent a wetsuit, but since the instructor, Chieko, mentioned she would be wearing a winter wetsuit, I borrowed one at the last minute. If I hadn’t borrowed it, I might have had to give up due to the cold, so I think it’s especially good to rent one from the start in winter.
There are multiple snorkeling tours at Hanauma Bay, but I was unsure about participating in this one because I didn’t know if I would receive underwater photo data. Reviews mentioned that it could be downloaded from Facebook, so I participated with some apprehension, but they uploaded the photos afterward. As others have noted, you can’t press buttons on your phone underwater. I was able to take pictures with a GoPro, but if you want to take photos with your phone, you need to change the settings to use the side button for the shutter instead of the screen, which is impossible unless you do that. If that’s not possible, it’s better to give up on taking pictures and enjoy the actual scenery. Also, since fish and sea turtles move, videos are the most enjoyable.
Although it wasn’t mentioned in the instructions, it is possible to take underwater videos by floating at the right moment, bringing your phone out of the water to press the record button, and then putting it back underwater. If you want to take videos, that method is reliable. The age
【良かった点】
・参加前に疑問などがあればメールなどで詳しく教えてもらえる(同じツアーの参加者の方が事前に問い合わせなどを行っていたため)
・当日参加した際の写真のデータをフェイスブックにアップしてくるため追加料金なしでダウンロードできる(クチコミでの記載や当日参加時に教えてもらえましたがベルトラにしっかりと書いていなかったように思うので記載があれば安心できたかと…)
・ハナウマ湾に精通したインストラクターと一緒のため前日の情報やその日の海のコンディションで効率よくハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングができる
・参加後に小腹が空くが複数のスナック菓子からお菓子が一つもらえ冷たい水がもらえる(少し小腹を満たせるためかなり嬉しかった)
・参加前にゴザみたいな感じのマットを借りれるので地べたに座らなくていい
・1人参加でも追加料金がかからなかった(ほかはかかるツアーもある)
・値段につられ英語のツアーや送迎のみのツアーに参加せず、ハナウマ湾に精通した人と一緒に行くことで当たり前だが効率的にシュノーケリングができわかりやすい(最初は安いため英語ツアーにする予定だった)
【悪かったというか今後に向けて】
・参加した不満はなし
・上にも記載したが、サイトにフェイスブックで写真のデータがもらえると記載があれば安心
・特に冬は最初からベルトラでウエットスーツ貸し出しプランがあればよいかと(ベルトラがその選択をできないかもしれないが、海外でも最近現金を持ち歩くことがあまりなく、参加時に現金を探したり両替せずにすむため)
・上とかぶるが絶対に入場料が現金で必要なら入場料込みで事前に支払いができたらとても楽
・日本人限定ではなく多国籍になる可能性があると記載があってもいいかなと思った(口コミを見てその可能性があるとわかっていたしそのようなツアーに参加することに抵抗もないが、人によっては日本人限定と思い込み不満に感じる人もいそう)
・水がもらえるのは参加後のため、参加前に水分補給をしたい場合は少し持参しておくとよい
・1時間はあっという間のため2時間ぐらい泳ぎっぱなしでもよかったためそんなプランがあればよいかと
前日に参加を決めダメ元で予約リクエストを入れましたがピックアップ時間や場所についてすぐ連絡を頂け助かりました。
当日は自分を含め二組の計3名参加でシュノーケリングは2名で行いました。
ウエットスーツを借りる予定はなかったのですが、インストラクターのちえこさんも冬用のウエットスーツを着用すると言っていたので急遽借りましたが借りていなければ寒さでリタイアしていた可能性もあったので特に冬は最初から借りておくと良いと思います。
また、ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングのツアーは複数あると思いますが自分がこのツアーに参加するか迷った点が水中写真のデータがもらえるか分からなかった点です。
口コミにはフェイスブックでダウンロードできたと書いていたので恐る恐る参加したらあとでアップしてくれていました。
携帯はほかの方も記載していますが水中ではボタンを押せません。自分はGoProで撮影できましたが、携帯で写真を撮るには画面上ではなくサイドボタンでシャッター切る設定などに変更しない限り無理なのでそれが無理なら最初からあきらめ実際の光景を堪能すると良いと思います。また、魚やウミガメは当たり前ですが動くため動画が一番楽です。
案内にはありませんでしたが水に浮いたタイミングや携帯だけ海から出し動画の録画ボタンを押し水中に戻す→動画終了時は再度水中から携帯をだし動画を停止することで水中の動画を撮ることは可能です。もし動画を撮りたい人はその方法なら確実です。
参加者の年齢や経験の有無は運です。そして、その日の海のコンディションや場所によって見える光景もあるため短時間でポイントを押さえまわれるのは非常に効率がいいです。
ただ、正直1時間は短くもっと見たい気持ちはありました。(人によってはしんどいかも…)
また、ウミガメを見れなくても魚や海の中は十分綺麗です。参加した際には3匹ほど見れましたが全て運なので、見れたらラッキーと思って参加すると見れた時の喜びが倍増します!
最後に早朝と昼前のツアーがあると思いますが、次回自分が参加するならば早朝を選びます。早朝に参加し帰宅前には入場ゲートに渋滞が起きていましたが早朝ならそんなことはなくすぐはいれます。そして参加後にホテルで休憩し夕方から出かけたりできるため非常に楽に感じました!
また、ハワイに行くことがあればぜひ参加し体験したいツアーでした。参加を迷っている人は時期により満員とかで参加できない可能性もあるため、参加をお勧めします!
- Rent a wetsuit in winter.
- Video is recommended over taking photos with your phone.
- Having a GoPro is even better.
- Make sure to get enough sleep and prepare your condition.
・冬はウエットスーツを借りる
・携帯での写真撮影より動画がおすすめ
・GoProがあるとよりよい
・睡眠はしっかり取りコンディションを整える

Since it's a large ship, there was no seasickness! The pineapple banana bread was delicious, and we saw plenty of dolphins and whales, which was amazing!
大きい船なので、船酔い無し!
パイナップルバナナブレッドも美味しいし、
イルカも鯨もたくさん見られて最高でした!
Taking photos with Diamond Head in the background from the boat is really great!
船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮るとすごくイイ!

It was wonderful to see both whales and dolphins. We also appreciate your very positive review and the photos. We look forward to welcoming you back in Hawaii next time.

During my stay, there was a week of "all-day rain," which happens only once every 15 years, making it difficult to truly experience the essence of this activity. The operators were very kind, and I am filled with gratitude for the captain, who tried to create enjoyable memories despite the rain and rough waves. However, the boat's rocking when heading out was more than expected, and more than half of the passengers ended up feeling unwell.
I definitely want to try again on a sunny day.
滞在中、15年に一度あるかないかという「終日降雨」という日が一週間続き、なかなか本アクティビティの神髄を体験することは叶いませんでした。オペレータの皆様もとても親切でしたし、雨や荒波なりに楽しい思い出を残そうと盛り上げて下さる船長には感謝の気持ちでいっぱいですが、沖に出る際の船の揺れが予想以上で、乗客の半数以上が体調を崩してしまいました。
是非、晴れた日にリベンジしたいです。

It's not an exaggeration to say that I came to Hawaii to see the fire dance in this show. The other shows were also well-rounded in terms of entertainment, and I was able to enjoy them with peace of mind.
このショーのファイヤーダンスを見るためにハワイに来たと言っても過言ではない。他のショーもエンターテインメントとして完成されており、安心して楽しめました。

I was torn between the hotel luau and this show, but I chose this one for its convenience. I had heard that it wasn't just a hula show, and the quality of the performance was outstanding. The kids also enjoyed watching it.
ホテルのルアウと迷って、お手軽さからこのショーにしました。
フラショーだけではないと聞いていましたが、ショーのクオリティとして素晴らしい完成度でした。

My first experience at Kualoa Ranch!
My companions wanted to do activities like buggies! They love Jurassic Park! I personally love Jumanji! I love nature! So, we started our buggy experience in the heavy rain☆
After the explanation in English, there was also a proper explanation in Japanese◎
After the buggy experience, we were able to enjoy our souvenirs and lunch at a leisurely pace♪
Although the weather was unfortunate, it meant there was no dust flying around, and we got to see the fantastic scenery of sun and rain, along with a rainbow, so it was great☆
クアロア・ランチ初体験!
同行者たちがバギーなどアクティビティがやりたい!ジュラシックパークが好き!私自身はジュマンジが好き!大自然が好き!って事で大雨のバギー体験スタートです☆
英語での説明の後、ちゃんと日本語での説明がありました◎
バギー体験後、お土産もランチもゆっくり楽しめました♪
あいにくのお天気でしたがその分埃が舞うこともなく太陽と雨の幻想的な景色や虹も見れたので良かったです☆
- If there's a forecast for rain, I think it's better to have a poncho or rainwear.
- You can place your luggage in the seat of the buggy (between the driver's seat and the passenger seat).
・雨予報があるならポンチョやレインウェアがあった方がいいと思います
・バギーの座席に荷物は置けました(運転席と助手席の間)

I received an email asking me to fill out a survey and a pledge, and at that time, I indicated that I did not want any photos. Later, I requested photos via email and received confirmation, and on the day of the event, I asked again for photos. I was told it would be fine, but the scheduled instructor did not show up. As a result, we ended up with just one instructor for the three of us beginners, so no photos were taken (although we did get a free photo of us on the board on the beach).
The surfing took place in a safe area, and the instructor provided guidance that was manageable for beginners. However, since there was only one instructor, I question whether we received enough attention. That said, the weather was beautiful, the scenery was stunning, and just floating in the ocean felt great. The Hawaiian instructor was cheerful and had a relaxed attitude, not worrying too much about the details, which is definitely a positive aspect. If you think of it as "Hawaiian time," it doesn't bother you at all.
メールが届いてそこからアンケートや誓約書などを書くのですが、その時に写真は希望しないにしてしまい、その後、メールで写真をお願いして了承を貰い、当日も写真を撮ってほしいとお願いしたのですが「大丈夫」とはいわれたのですが、予定のインストラクターが現れず、結果、1人のインストラクターで、私たち初心者の3人を見ることになったので、写真は無しになりました(無料で砂浜の上でボードに乗る写真だけは撮っていただきました)。
サーフィンは安全な場所で、初心者に無理の無い様に指導して貰いました。ですがやはり1人のインストラクターだったので十分に出来たかは疑問です。ただ、天気が良く、景色が素晴らしく、海に浮かんでいるだけでも気持ち良く。ハワイのインストラクターは陽気で細かいところは気にしないというおおらかさが良いところではありますね。
ハワイタイム?と思えば気にもなりません。

Positive Points
- I was able to see many whales, and I was more satisfied than I had expected.
- Even during the times when whales were not visible, I enjoyed a comfortable cruise while taking in the scenery.
- Important announcements were made in Japanese, which made me feel secure participating in the tour.
- I had the unexpected and delightful experience of encountering a honu (sea turtle) at the time of departure.
- The banana cake provided was very delicious and left a lasting impression.
Points for Improvement
- Although there were announcements when whales were spotted, the sound from the microphone was muffled and hard to hear.
- The observation deck on the third floor did not allow for easy movement between the left and right sides, which meant that the view was biased either to the right or left rather than being 360 degrees. While it was possible to move in the back, it took time to get to the opposite side when at the front.
- Due to legal regulations requiring a certain distance from the whales, this is understandable, but if you are imagining seeing the whales up close with great intensity, you might feel a bit unsatisfied. In reality, the whales appeared somewhat small.
- Although there were restrooms available, the amount of toilet paper was limited from the start, and there was no replenishment during the trip.
良かった点
- 多くのクジラを見ることができ、期待以上に満足感があった。
- クジラが見えない時間帯も、景色を楽しみながら快適にクルージングを満喫できた。
- 重要な案内については日本語でのアナウンスもあり、安心して参加できた。
- 出航時にホヌ(ウミガメ)に出会えるという、思いがけない嬉しい体験があった。
- 提供されたバナナケーキがとても美味しく、印象に残った。
惜しかった点
- クジラ発見時のアナウンスはあったものの、マイクの音がこもっていて聞き取りづらかった。
- 3階デッキの展望台先頭部分は左右の行き来ができず、360度見渡せるというよりも、右側か左側のどちらかに視界が偏ってしまった。後方では移動可能だが、先頭にいると反対側へ移動するのに時間がかかる。
- 法律上の規制によりクジラとの距離を保つ必要があるため、仕方のない点ではあるが、間近で見る大迫力のクジラを想像していると、やや物足りなく感じる可能性がある。実際にはクジラはやや小さく見えた。
- お手洗いは完備されていたものの、トイレットペーパーの量が最初から少なく、途中での補充もなかった。
It's recommended to bring hats and outerwear that are less likely to be blown away, as well as sunglasses for sun protection. If you have binoculars, you might be able to see whales in a more impressi
飛ばされにくい帽子や羽織もの、日差し対策としてサングラスの持参がおすすめです。

I participated in a 2-hour buggy ride. Wearing a helmet is mandatory. Goggles and masks are provided. It's up to you whether to use them, but since you'll get covered in dust, I chose to wear them. The scenery is magnificent. They take you to filming locations from Jurassic Park and Jumanji. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't know the movies. You'll return to Honolulu around 2:00 PM.
2時間バギーに参加しました。
ヘルメットの着用が必須です。ゴーグルとマスクも渡されます。使用するかは自由ですが砂埃まみれになるので私は使用しました。
景色は壮大です。ジュラシックパークやジュマンジのロケ地に連れて行ってくれます。映画を知らなくても十分楽しめると思います。ホノルル帰着は14:00くらいです。
