Oahu
Had an amazing trip. Kind and friendly, locally owned and operated. Would highly recommend.
I took TheBus to the meeting point. It was $7 round trip (since it's $7 for unlimited rides in a day). It's necessary to check in advance how to ride TheBus and how to find routes (you can find bus stops using Google). Upon arriving at the meeting point, you will present your voucher (which is sent via email after booking) for check-in.
Once on board, there was an unlimited supply of fruit cake and coffee (though I couldn't eat that much). As for finding whales, the spouts are a good indicator. I witnessed a few spouts, but they rarely appeared above the water. I participated with the image from the last attached photo in mind, but this time we only managed to see the tail fin to some extent during the whale watching.
集合場所にはTheBusで行きました。往復＄7でOKです（一日＄7で乗り放題なので）。TheBusの乗り方や経路（Googleでバス停が案内可能です）の調べ方は事前に確認が必要です。集合場所に到着するとバウチャー（予約完了後にメールで送られる）を提示して受付となります。
乗船後はフルーツケーキやコーヒーなどは食べ放題、飲み放題でした（そんなに食べられませんが）。クジラの探し方としては、潮吹きが目印となります。何回か潮吹きを目撃しましたが、海上に現れることは少なかったです。添付の最後の写真をイメージして参加しましたが、今回は尾びれを確認できる程度のウォッチング結果でした。
If whales are not seen (it's a bit gray how much), it seems you can participate again. Whether you can witness them depends solely on timing, so all we can do is pray.
クジラが見られない場合は（どの程度かグレーですが）、再度参加可能とのこと。目撃できるかはタイミングしかないので、祈るしかないですね。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the snacks. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や軽食も楽しんで頂き嬉しく思っております。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and the sea didn't look blue. However, before it started, the music was played loudly, and the guide was great at getting everyone excited, making it a very enjoyable memory! Thanks to the weather, I was able to take some good photos of Jaws, which was a nice surprise!
残念ながら天気は曇りで海が青く見えませんでした。でも始まる前に音楽が爆音でかけられてガイドさんも盛り上げ上手でとても楽しいいい思い出になりました！
天気のお陰で逆にジョーズのいい写真が撮れました笑

This was beyond my imagination!!!
I thought it would just be riding a boat and paddling in the sea, but I was completely wrong!
We had six people in a narrow canoe that was about the width of our bodies.
We pushed the canoe out from Waikiki Beach into the ocean ourselves.
Then, we quickly boarded the canoe and paddled out to sea.
In sync with the leader's call, we went one-two.
When the leader said "switch," we changed our paddling from the right side to the left.
On our way out, surfers were waiting for waves.
As we passed by the surfers, we greeted them with a "Yeah!" and a shaka sign.
The cute local surfers in bikinis smiled and returned our "Aloha."
Finally, when we reached the wave waiting point, we turned around and waited for a good wave.
In response to the leader's call of "paddle," we paddled at full speed to pick up the pace.
Once we caught a wave, we moved toward the beach at an incredible speed.
It felt like what surfing must be like, and it was exhilarating.
Wow, it was a more enjoyable experience than parasailing.
I definitely want to try canoe surfing the next time I go to Hawaii.
I regret not knowing about this despite having been to Hawaii multiple times—it's highly recommended!
これは想像以上でした！！！
ボートに乗ってオールを漕いで海に浮かぶだけと思っていたら大間違い！
自分の体の幅ほどの細いカヌーに縦に６人乗り。
自分たちでカヌーを押し出しワイキキビーチから海へ。
そして素早くカヌーへ乗り込み沖に向かってオールを漕ぐ。
リーダーの掛け声に合わせワンツー。
そしてリーダーが「はんたーい」と言えば右側から左側へと漕ぐ場所を変える。
沖まで行く間にはサーファー達が波待ちをしている。
サーファー達の横を通り過ぎる時はイエーいとシャカサインでご挨拶。
ビキニのかわいいロコサーファー達が笑顔でアロハと返してくれます。
そしていよいよ波待ちポイントまで来たらくるっと方向転換していい波を待つ。
リーダーの「こいでー」の掛け声に合わせて猛スピードでオールを漕ぎスピードアップ。
波に乗ったら想像以上の速さで波と共にビーチに向かって進みます。
サーフィンやったらこんな感じなんだと思う体験がここと躍らせます。
いやー。パラセーリングより楽しい体験でした。
ハワイに行ったら必ずカヌーサーフィンやろうと思いました。
ハワイは何回も行っていたのになぜ知らなかったんだろうと後悔するほど超おすすめですよ。

I was looking for activities to do in Hawaii with my 3-year-old, and I thought this would be a good option, so I made a reservation.
First, we took a larger boat to the diving point. During the ride, they pointed out things like, "Look, they're doing whale watching over there!" which made the journey enjoyable! We were also lucky to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle. My child had a great time.
Once we were in the submarine, we spent about 45 minutes underwater. While the adults enjoyed it, my active 3-year-old got a bit bored halfway through, and we ended up showing him a video for the last 10 minutes... (laughs)
However, for the first 15 minutes, he was excitedly saying things like, "The fish are waving at me!" I think it was a memorable experience for him since he even reenacted it during bath time when we got home!
Our family is an international marriage family living abroad, so English wasn't an issue for us. The guide was cheerful and shared jokes and interesting facts, which made it enjoyable, but those who are not confident in English might feel a bit left out. I heard that Japanese audio can be downloaded, but it might not always match what the guide is saying.
Overall, I think it was an activity that families with children can enjoy!
今回3歳連れで、ハワイでできるアクティビティを探していて、これはいいんじゃないかなと思って予約しました。
まず潜水ポイントまで、大きめの船で行きます。その時にも、結構「あそこでクジラウォッチングやってるよ、ほらあの方向」とか結構教えてくれて、その道のりも楽しみました！海亀もチラッと見えてとてもラッキーでした。子供もとても楽しんでいました。
潜水艦に潜ってからは45分ほど。大人は楽しめるのですが、うちの3歳動きたい坊やは途中でちょっと飽きてしまって、残り10半のところでビデオを見せることになってしまいました、、笑
でも初めの15分は「お魚さんが手振ってるー」とか言って楽しんでいる様子でした。
家に帰ってからもそれをお風呂で再現したりしているので、きっと心に残った経験だったんだろうなと思っています！
我が家は国際結婚ファミリーで、海外在住なので英語は問題なかったのですが、ガイドが陽気な方で、ジョークをとばしたりうんちくを言ってくれるので、楽しめましたが英語が苦手な方は置いてけぼり感があるかもしれません。日本語オーディオがダウンロードできるとのことでしたが、ガイドが話していることとは必ずしも一致しないと思います。
総じて、子連れで楽しめるアクティビティだったと思います！
At 3 years old, it might be questionable whether they can fully enjoy it, but still, I think it was worth it since there are few activities available for families with small children.
3歳だと100%楽しめるかは微妙かもです、、それでもやっぱり小さい子連れでできることは少ないので、やって良かったと思います。

Fabulous show, chief was hilarious as always, and the family loved it! Will come back again!
really loved this hike, considerably easy while very immersive and out of the waikiki hustle and bustle!
our kids did not stop smiling, plus the guides are so funny while knowledgeable!
Took my mom as she shares her bday with elvis, so we had to go all out! the rew treated us like ohana, thank you so much!!
the bus guides are great to keep you interested during the ride, making it a full around tour
Aloha and mahalo for your 5-star review!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the Arizona Memorial and Honolulu City Highlights Tour. It’s wonderful to hear that our bus guides kept you engaged throughout the ride and helped make it a well-rounded experience. Sharing Hawai‘i’s history and culture with our guests is something we take great pride in.
We truly appreciate you choosing Polynesian Adventure and hope to welcome you aboard again soon!
Warmest aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana
We had a large group, and this was easiest way for us to not have to figure out reservation. Just perfect time for hiking as well!
Great way to start the year, we wish we were back in Hawaii listening to the wonderful local music!
viewing was a bit foggy on the day we were there, but overall good time
really wonderful and personal tour, the horses are well cared for and loved!
As we soared higher and higher, the view of Waikiki's streets and beaches from the sky was incredibly beautiful. We took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory.
ぐんぐん高くあがって、空から見るワイキキの街並みやビーチはとてもきれいでした

After arriving at the airport, I took a helicopter. It's just a short taxi ride from the airport. I had a more enjoyable time than I expected. I want everyone to experience this tour to see the stunning views of Hawaii, rather than just riding a helicopter in Japan.
空港到着後にヘリコプター乗りました。空港からタクシーですぐです。期待以上に楽しい時間を過ごせました。日本でヘリコプターに乗るより、ハワイの絶景を見るこのツアーを一度皆さんに体験して欲しいです。
They will lend you a case for your sunglasses and phone. I felt colder than I expected, so it's better to dress warmly.
サングラスと携帯を入れるケースは貸してくれます。思ってた以上に寒さを感じたので、厚着していくほうがいいです。

It was the best experience. I thought two hours of horseback riding would be long, but once I actually experienced it, it flew by. I was able to feel the great nature of the sea and mountains, and passing by horses and cows was something I could only experience here.
最高の体験ができました。2時間も乗馬長いなと思ってましたが、実際体験してみるとあっという間でした。大自然の海と山を感じることができ、馬や牛の横を通ったりとここでしか味わえないです。

The purpose is to see whales, but it's quite difficult to find them. When we finally spot one, cheers erupt, and we rush over in that direction to look for it. Since it's nature we're dealing with, it's understandable, but we were able to see a spout, a back, and a tail in the distance.
クジラを見る目的なのだが、なかなか探せないです。見つけたときは歓声が上がり、その方向に走り寄って探します。自然が相手だから仕方ないですが、遠くに潮吹きと背中、しっぽを見つけることができました。
You shouldn't have too many expectations. It seems there are times when you can't find anything at all, so I think it's important to have the flexibility to enjoy the cruising experience.
余り期待するといけないです。全く見つからないときもあるようなのでクルージングを楽しむ余裕が必要と思います。

Since it was early in the morning, the pickup time was 5:45 AM. We arrived at a nearby cape before dawn and waited for a while, reaching the entrance just after 7 AM. After entering at 8 AM with standard equipment (snorkel, fins) along with optional life jackets, umbrellas, and chairs, there was a presentation, and we finally made it to the beach by 8:30 AM, ready to swim. Overall, the time spent carrying our belongings was long and tiring. We did see some fish in the sea, but the scenery wasn't as impressive as we had hoped. I also thought the entrance fee of $25 per person was high.
朝一だったのでピックアップの時間は5時45分、夜明け前に近くの岬に到着してしばらく待機し、入口についたのが7時過ぎ。入口から標準装備（シュノーケル、フィン）の他にオプションの救命具、パラソル、椅子をもって8時に入場開始が始まり、説明の上映もあって、8時半にやっと浜辺に着き泳げる体制になりました。とにかく荷物を運んでいる時間も長くくたびれました。海は魚も見れましたが、期待しているほどの景観ではなかったです。また入場料も25ドル/人は高いと思いました。
In the morning, the view is not as good as I expected due to backlighting, and since there are entry restrictions, I think it's better to go around noon.
朝は逆光のため思ったより景観は良くなく、入場制限もあるので昼頃に入るのが良いと思います。

With just my body, I soared into the blue sky! This is something only paragliding can offer. At a height where the boat looks tiny above the vast blue sea and beneath the blue sky, I felt like all the various efforts and struggles I've had in my 50 years of life were somehow rewarded. It was an experience that made me think I want to keep doing my best in the future and gave me a lot of energy. Being able to do something like this is only possible because I am healthy and full of vitality.
身体ひとつで青空へ‼️こんな事はパラセーリングしか出来ません。一面の青い海の上、青い空の下、ボートがとても小さく見えるくらいの高度。50年生きて来たいろんな事、頑張った事、なんだか報われた気がしました。これからの人生もまた頑張ろうと思えたり、凄く元気をもらえた体験でした。こんな事ができるのも、健康で元気あってこそ。
Let's go for it! It's not scary!
思い切って行ってみよう‼️怖くないよ‼️

I saw a real Hawaiian show for the first time. It was definitely more powerful than watching it on TV, and I was glad to see the impersonation show as well.
初めて本場ハワイアンショーを見ました。
やはりテレビで見るより，迫力満点で、モノマネショーも見れたのが良かったです。
I recommend it.

My first horseback riding experience. Riding non-stop for two hours on a rough path was tough on my body. My knees especially became shaky. At one point, I wanted to get off the horse and take pictures at a movie filming location. However, I’m glad I got to try horseback riding at least once.
初めての乗馬体験。
それがいきなり足場の悪い道を２時間乗りっぱなしは、体にこたえました。
特に膝がガクガクになりました。
途中、映画のロケ地で馬から降りて写真を撮りたかったですね。
ただ、一度は乗馬をしてみたかったので、できて良かったです。

After the boat departed, we started with snorkeling at a specific point, and then we went out to sea for dolphin watching. The snorkeling time felt long, but for dolphin watching, it was like, "Is this it? Are we going back already?" We did see wild dolphins, but it was during their sleeping time, and it felt too short (laughs). I wonder if we were there for even 10 minutes... It was disappointing. The staff were very nice and made us feel at ease, so it's a shame.
船出発後、ポイント的にシュノーケリングが先でその後沖に出てドルフィンウォッチングしました。シュノーケリング時間は長く感じたのですが、ドルフィンウォッチングはえ、これで終わり？もう帰るの？という感じ。野生のドルフィンは見れてちょうど寝てる時間でしたが、短すぎる(笑)10分もいたかな、、、って感じです。期待はずれ。スタッフの方達はとても良い人たちで安心感もあったので残念です。
Thank you very much for participating in Dolphin & You Tour. We sincerely appreciate your valuable feedback.
We apologize for the short duration of the dolphin watching, which did not meet your expectations. As an eco-tour company, we prioritize observing wild dolphins in their natural environment without chasing them. Therefore, the time available for observation may vary depending on the dolphins' behavior and conditions. Additionally, if dolphins are hard to find, we may adjust the snorkeling time or change the order of watching and snorkeling based on sea conditions. We hope for your understanding in this matter.
We are encouraged by your kind words about our staff. We will continue to strive to provide tours that satisfy everyone, so we hope you will join us again in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating!
この度はドルフィン＆ユーツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。 また、貴重なご意見をお寄せいただき、心より感謝申し上げます。
イルカウォッチングの時間が短く、期待に沿えなかったとのこと、大変申し訳ございません。弊社はエコツアー会社として認定されており、野生のイルカを無理に追い回すことなく、自然の中での観察を大切にしております。そのため、イルカの行動や状況によって、観察できる時間に差が出てしまうことがございます。また、イルカがなかなか見つからない場合は、シュノーケリングの時間を調整したり、海の状況に応じてウォッチングとシュノーケリングの順番を変更することもございます。何卒ご理解いただけますと幸いです。
スタッフについて温かいお言葉をいただき、大変励みになります。これからも、皆様によりご満足いただけるツアーをご提供できるよう努めてまいりますので、またの機会がございましたらぜひご参加くださいませ。
改めまして、ご参加いただきありがとうございました！

The weather on the day was clear, and I was a little worried about whether we would be able to see whales, but there was no need for concern as we were able to see whales multiple times!
On the boat, we enjoyed cake for our meal, and we could also have drinks like coffee and tea, making the two hours very satisfying.
Not only did we see whales that day, but we also spotted dolphins, and we were able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea, making it a valuable experience that went beyond just whale watching.
The energetic staff shared a lot of knowledge about whales after we set sail and provided many interesting facts during the whale watching, which deepened my understanding of these magnificent creatures.
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Honolulu!
当日は快晴で、鯨もちゃんと見られるか少し心配していましたが、心配の必要が無かったくらいに何回もクジラを見ることができました！
船内ではケーキの食事や、コーヒーやお茶などの飲み物も飲むことができて、2時間たっぷりと満足することができました。
当日はクジラだけでなく、イルカも見ることができましたし、海からのワイキキの景色も堪能することができ、ホエールウォッチングにとどまらない貴重な体験をすることができました。
元気なスタッフさんたちが出航してからクジラについての知識や、ホエールウォッチング中もたくさんのクジラに対する豆知識を教えてくださり、とてもクジラに対する造詣を深めることができました。
またホノルルに行く時はぜひ参加したいです！

The ship provided light snacks (coffee, tea, pineapple cake). The pineapple cake was delicious. The actual sailing time was about 2 hours. On this day, we were able to see two humpback whales. The whales came to the surface and spouted water at intervals of about 10 to 15 minutes, so I enjoyed chatting with the foreign people next to me (although I only understood about one-third of the conversation).
I didn't feel much movement while the ship was moving, but when the ship was stopped during whale watching, there was some rocking, so I think those who are prone to seasickness might need motion sickness medication. When the ship returned to the port, there were a few people on board celebrating their birthdays, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday," which felt very international and was really nice.
船内は軽食付き（コーヒー、紅茶、パイナップルケーキ）です。パイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。実際の乗船時間は2時間ほど。この日はザトウクジラを2頭見ることができました。クジラは約10〜15分間隔で水面上に来て潮吹きをしていたので、横の海外の人と談笑しながら楽しみました。（言葉は1/3程度しか理解できなかったですが、）
船が動いているときはそこまで感じなかったですが、ホエールウォッチング中の船が止まっているときは船揺れがあったりするので酔いに弱い人は酔い止めが必要かと思います。船が港へ戻る時に船内で誕生日だった人が数名いて、みんなでハッピーバースデーの歌を歌ってお祝いしていたのが海外らしくてとてもよかったです。
This time, I participated in February. When the sun is shining, a short-sleeved shirt is usually fine, but in shaded areas, on the boat, or inside the bus, there were moments when the wind was strong

This is a round trip snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay that lasts over 4 hours. It takes about 30 minutes to get there by car, and there is nearly an hour spent on the rules of Hanauma Bay and putting on wetsuits. The snorkeling itself lasts a full hour, which is quite long.
For my husband and me, an hour felt a bit long, and we got bored halfway through and felt a bit seasick. Additionally, we were disappointed that we couldn't spend a little more time relaxing on-site or stop by the local shops.
往復4時間超のハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーです。
車で30分程度で現地到着、ハナウマ湾のルールやウエットスーツ着用に1時間弱。シュノーケルは1時間みっちりで、かなり長くシュノーケリングが出来ます。
私達夫婦には1時間は長く感じて、途中で飽きたのと波酔いで少し苦痛に感じました。また、現地で少しのんびり過ごしたかったのと、現地のショップにも寄れなかったので、残念でした。
I recommend it for those who want to fully enjoy snorkeling.
