We participated as a couple. We went to various places, but it was our first time in Kailua! It's an area that's been featured a lot in magazines recently, so I was looking forward to it. The departure went by in no time, and we arrived around 9 AM, earlier than scheduled. There was an initial briefing about the facilities and some important points, which took a little time, but it made us feel secure about participating. Since the time was short, from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, we planned to enjoy the beach in the morning and shopping in the afternoon. We hesitated about renting bikes due to the additional fee (around $10), but it turned out to be the right decision. If you want to enjoy both the beach and shopping, it's definitely better to rent a bike. Everything you need for the beach can be rented, so we borrowed a bodyboard and eagerly headed to the beach, but the sea was like a lake. I later asked the shop staff, and they said there are waves on some days. If you're planning to use a board, it might be better to check the sea first. In the end, we only had lunch at the beach, but enjoying a delicious lunch while gazing at the beautiful beach was the best! As everyone has mentioned, the spinach pizza is delicious! However, if you go as a couple, it might be better to get one bento and one pizza each. Sharing a pizza might get boring. Kailua Town is just the right size for cycling, so you won't wander around unnecessarily, and it's easy to see everything. There are many cute interior shops, and I did quite a bit of shopping. Even with the weak yen, I think it's more economical to buy sale items than online. The Japanese staff at the shop were friendly and fun, and I was satisfied with Kailua Town, so I'm glad we participated. However, I felt that the time was a bit short until 2:30 PM while we were in the sea. I would love to visit again slowly.
夫婦で参加しました。いろいろな所に行きましたが、カイルアは初めて!最近雑誌でもよく紹介されているエリアなので楽しみにしていました。出発してからはあっと言う間、予定時間より早く9時くらいには到着しました。最初に施設の事、注意事項、いろいろ説明があり少し時間がかかってしまいますが、安心して参加できます。9時30分~14時30分の短い時間ですので私たちは午前中海、午後買い物と思っていました。自転車は別途料金($10くらい)がかかるので悩みましたが、レンタルして正解でした。海と買い物、両方楽しみたい方は絶対にレンタルした方がいいです。海に必要な物は全てレンタル出来るので、ボディーボードを借りて張り切ってビーチに行きましたが、湖のような海。後でお店の人に聞きましたが、日によっては波もあるとの事。ボードをしようと思っている方は最初に海にチェックに行かれた方がいいかな。結局ビーチではランチを食べただけでしたが、きれいなビーチを眺めながらの美味しいランチは最高でした!皆さん書いていますがほうれん草のピザ美味しいです!でも、2人で行ったらお弁当とピザ一つずつがいいかもしれません。2人でピザだとあきそうです。カイルアタウンは自転車で廻るのにちょうどいい大きさでムダにうろうろする事もなく見やすいです。インテリアの可愛いお店がたくさんあり、私は結構買い物をしました。円安ですがセールのものがあればネットで買うよりお得だと思います。ショップの日本人スタッフの方、楽しく親切で、カイルアタウンにも満足で参加してよかったです。ただ、海に入っていたらやはり14時30分までだと時間が足りなかったかな。また、ゆっくり訪れてみたいです。

I attended with my mother in her 70s (who speaks almost no English). There was a guide assigned to our large hotel shuttle bus, and even with few Japanese people around, they made the journey comfortable and checked on us at the venue, which was very reassuring. At the show venue, the robust performers guided us with smiles, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
We were seated in the center front row, and across from us was a pair of older white individuals who seemed to be a mother and son, so it was easy to chat and we felt relaxed. There were also younger white groups in the back who were lively, but for us, being small, the Royal Plan was great as we had a clear view of the stage.
As soon as we were seated, we were hit by a heavy rain for about ten minutes. We put on the raincoats provided on the table to take cover, and when we returned to our seats, the salad and drinks that had already been served were soaked. The main dish was protected with a lid, so we managed to eat it. After the first few songs of the show (before the real dancing began), they came to clear our plates while we were still eating, so I thought it wise to finish quickly.
The main male performer was truly entertaining, very skilled at engaging the audience and bringing people on stage, far surpassing typical comedians. His interactions with the lively middle-aged Japanese group in the audience were particularly exquisite, making me feel a bit embarrassed to be Japanese, but he managed to involve the entire venue in laughter.
On the other hand, he also shared touching stories about family and couples' love, making it a heartwarming show. At the end, we all held hands with the cool performers and other guests, singing and dancing together, creating a sense of full participation.
My mother understood most of the meaning and laughed along with everyone at the same timing, expressing her joy and desire to come again. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises! I would be happy to know the name of the main performer!
70代の母(英語はほぼ不可)と参加しました。ホテル送迎の大きなバスにそれぞれ担当の案内係の方がいて、日本人が少ない中も、道中車内を和ませてくださり、会場でも気にかけてくださってとても安心できました。ショー会場でもごついパフォーマーの方々が、笑顔で誘導してくださり、雰囲気はとても良かったです。
席はど真ん中の最前列で、向かいにはもっとご高齢の母息子らしき白人ペアと4人だけで、お話もしやすく気楽に過ごせました。他の後方の席では若い白人グループが盛り上がっているところもあったので、体も小さい私たちにはステージも丸見えのロイヤルプランで良かったです。
着席してすぐ激しい雨に10分ほど見舞われ、テーブルに用意された雨合羽を着て避難し、席に戻るとすでにサーブされていたサラダや飲み物などびしょ濡れでした。メインのお皿は蓋で保護されなんとか食べられました。ショーの最初数曲の歌のみが終わると(本格的な踊りが始まる前に)、食事もまだ終わらないうちに下げに来られましたので、早く食べ終わるのが賢明と思いました。
メインの男性は、本当にお話が面白く、ステージにたくさん人を上げてはみんなをいじるのがとても上手で、そんじょそこらのお笑いの人など比較にならないほどでした。
特にお元気な中高年の日本人グループのお客さんのいじり方が絶妙で、若干日本人であることが恥ずかしく思えるような部分もありましたが、会場全体を笑いの渦に巻き込んでいました。
その一方で、家族や夫婦の愛情について感動的なお話もされ心温まる素敵なショーでした。
最後には、かっこいいパフォーマーのお兄さんたちや他のお客さんたちとみんなで手をつないで歌を歌い踊って全員参加といった感じで終わりました。
母もだいたい意味が分かってみんなと同じタイミングで笑っており、大変喜んでまた来たいと申しておりました。
また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います!
あのメインのお方のお名前がわかると嬉しいです!

Helpful driver(young man but forgot name..sorry). Mosquito repellent and walking stick. Thought about taking bus, but the last stop is a bit of a distance from trailhead. This shuttle expedites the process. Picked up and dropped off at Waikiki hotel. If you have limited time on the island I would definitely recommend this tour. The hike itself is not overly demanding in dry conditions. Wife and I are in 50's and in so-so condition. I thought this was easier than Diamond Head hike, which wasn't difficult either. Probably an entirely different story if wet and rainy. Get off the beach and experience another aspect of the island. Enjoyed it.

We did the early excursion and were happy we did as our group only had 9 people and I felt we were able to see more activity. We rented wet suits since the water was just a bit cooler than our liking, and they worked great. The views on the way to the snorkeling spot are breathtaking as you see the sunrise behind a mountain range. We saw several whales and could hear their chatter in the water, an indescribable experience. We snorkeled with tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. Then, we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Only wish we had more time.
The crew and shuttle driver were great! They even returned our beach towels, which we forgot at Spinner's. This excursion definitely under promised and over delivered.
We paid $50-$60 for the professional photographs, which was well worth it to us as it was impossible to capture everything. Can't wait to see them in a couple weeks!

It was my first time in Kailua! Since it's a beach that has been ranked number one in the U.S., I was looking forward to snorkeling, but my actual experience felt like I was just taken there. However, for those who are familiar with the area, it might be nice to have that freedom. But if you're just being taken along, I felt it was quite expensive. They do lend snorkeling sets, mats, and bodyboards, and lunch is included (I was looking forward to the lunch menu, but it turned out to be a special menu just for lunch, so I was disappointed when I was told that after choosing from the menu at the register). Still, I felt it was expensive. The ocean is incredibly beautiful, and I think I saw some nice sights, but I didn't see many fish. Of course, there were a few. I wasn't told about the snorkeling points, so it would have been nice if they had informed me about them. Or maybe there just aren't many corals? I'm not sure. The sandy beach is very beautiful! The staff speaks Japanese and is very nice, but since it was a tour in an unfamiliar place, I felt it was quite expensive for being so hands-off (or, to put it positively, free). But the ocean is truly beautiful! We rented bikes and went to Lanikai Beach, which is about a 15-minute ride away (probably currently ranked number one in the U.S.), and it was even more wonderful than Kailua! The water is shallower than in Kailua, and the waves aren't rough, so I definitely think it's worth the trip! We left Kailua early to go to Lanikai Beach, and it turned out to be great because we could spend more time there! I didn't see any turtles, but it was incredibly beautiful! I couldn't find any fish, but the beauty made me feel like that didn't matter! Overall, the ocean is amazing! It would have been even better if they could have shared more recommended spots. Also, the return bus at 2:30 felt a bit short!
初めてのカイルアでした!全米ナンバーワンになったこともあるビーチということで、シュノーケルも出きるし、楽しみにしていましたが、実際はただ、連れていってもらっただけ、という印象でした。ただ、行ったことがあって、慣れた人なら自由でいいかもしれないし、連れていってもらうだけなら、結構高いと感じました。シュノーケルセットや、ゴザ、ボディーボードも貸してもらえるし、ランチ付(ランチはメニューみて、楽しみにしていたのですが、実際は、通常メニューではなく、ランチ専用だったので、メニュー選んでから、レジで言われたので残念でした。)ですが、それでも、高いと感じました。ただ、うみも凄く綺麗だし、場所的にはいいものが見れたなと思いましたが、魚は見れませんでした。もちろん、少しはいましたよ。シュノーケルポイントも、教えてもらえなかったので、あるなら、教えてもらえたら、良かったかな。それとも、もともと珊瑚が少なくいないのか?わかりません。砂浜がとても綺麗です!スタッフの対応も日本語通じるし、とても、いいですが、慣れてない場所での、ツアーだったので、私からしたら、こんなに、放置(よく言えば自由)の割には高いな、と。ただ、海は本当に綺麗!自前になりますが、レンタル自転車を借りて、15分位行った、ラニカイビーチ(多分現在米ナンバーワン)は、カイルア以上に素晴らしかった!カイルアより、浅瀬だし、波も荒くないので、絶対足を伸ばした方がいいと思います!私達は、早くカイルアをでて、ラニカイビーチに行ったので、結果長く過ごせて良かったです!!亀には会えませんでしたが、とてもとても綺麗でした!魚も見つけられなかったけど、そんなの関係ないと思える程綺麗でした!まぁ、トータルでまとめると、海は素晴らしい。!!もっと、お勧めポイントを教えて頂けるともっと良かったかな。あと、2時半に帰りのバスというのも、短い感じがしました!

I opted for the Hawaiian buffet dinner and show. The tables for eight are set up outside on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, so you will be seated with others. While enjoying a complimentary Mai Tai, I watched the hula performance by four dancers, and after a while, the buffet began. Well, it was just an ordinary buffet. At $54, I personally recommend dining at a restaurant within the Royal Hawaiian Center and participating in just the show.
The main show was enjoyable. The performances of Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, even as impersonations, were fantastic. Personally, I found the hula and Tahitian dance more impressive than the impersonations. Since it's a theater, the sound system is good, allowing for a powerful hula performance.
The theater is air-conditioned, so I think it's a good idea to bring a long-sleeved cover-up.
ハワイアンビュッフェディナー&ショーにしました。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4F野外に設置された8人掛けテーブルに詰めて座らせられるので相席になります。無料のマイタイを飲みながら4人のダンサーのフラを見てしばらくするとビュッフェ開始。まぁ〜普通のビュッフェです。
コレに$54となると???個人的にはロイヤルハワイアンセンター内のレストランで食事をしてショーだけのプランで参加をオススメするかな。
メインのショーは楽しかったです。
ガガ様やマイケル・ジャクソンはモノマネとは言え素晴らしいパフォーマンスでした。
個人的にはモノマネよりもフラダンスやタヒチアンダンスの方が見応えがあった。
劇場なので音響がいいので迫力があるフラが見れます。
劇場内はクーラーが効いているので長袖の羽織るものは持って行った方がいいと思います。

My husband and I did not finish all three activities due to too much sun exposure. It was exhausting. We did not go snorkeling, however, the hike was interesting (I'm not an outdoorsy person) and the downhill bike was the our personal favorite. Next time, we will do it again, but I can go without the hike.

This was my first trip to Hawaii. While searching for activities that I could enjoy with my 6th-grade daughter, I came across this tour. When I told my daughter about it, she immediately responded, "I want to go!" It's not every day you get a chance to meet wild dolphins.
I had some hesitation, wondering if I could wake up at 5 AM with the jet lag, if I would be okay since I'm not a strong swimmer, and if I might get seasick. I was filled with more anxiety than excitement. After much deliberation, I decided to go for it and signed up.
On the day of the tour, I was so excited that I woke up earlier than planned. I took my motion sickness medication and boarded the boat. After a few minutes, I heard the staff say that dolphins were nearby, and one by one, we jumped into the sea.
Honestly, it was a bit scary at first. I struggled to put my face in the water. I desperately searched for dolphins. Then, when I looked down… there they were right below me!! A pod of dolphins! Before I knew it, I was diving down and taking pictures, completely captivated. It was an emotional experience. My daughter seemed to see them well too. Although I joined the tour for her sake, I might have enjoyed it even more (laughs). After that, we also got to see a honu (sea turtle). It was amazing to see it swimming so close!
It was a dreamlike experience that went by in an instant. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I've been to various places, but this became my best memory in Hawaii. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.
As many have mentioned, I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. Thank you very much.
初めてのハワイ旅行。小学6年生の娘と楽しめるアクティビティはないかと色々探していたところ、このツアーが目にとまりました。娘に話した所、「行きたい!」と即答。野生のイルカに会えるツアーなんてなかなかありません。
私も行きたいなと思いながらも迷いがありました。時差ボケもあるのに朝5時に起きられるのか。あまり泳ぎが得意ではないのに大丈夫か。船酔いするんじゃないか。期待以上に不安もイッパイ。迷いに迷って思いきって申し込みました。
当日は楽しみで予定より早く起きてしまいました。酔いどめもしっかり飲んで船に乗り込むこと数十分。
イルカがいるというスタッフの方の声を聞いて、次々と海に飛び込みます。
正直ちょっと怖かった。最初はなかなか顔もつけられなくて。必死でイルカを探します。そして、ふと下をみると…真下にいました!!イルカの群れが!気がつくと夢中で潜って写真をとっていました。感動でした。娘もしっかり見れたようです。娘のために参加したツアーでしたが、私のほうが楽しんでいたかも(笑)。そのあとホヌもみることができました。本当にすぐそばで泳いでいてびっくり!!
あっという間の夢のような時間でした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで色々お話できて楽しかったです。
色々な所に行きましたが、ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。
またハワイに行く機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。
みなさんかいてありますが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

In January, I finally visited Kailua Beach with my mother. She wanted to relax and see the beautiful ocean, while I was eager to actively try snorkeling and bodyboarding, so we chose the "Kailua Sightseeing and Snorkeling Experience with Lunch."
The staff who picked us up from the hotel were Japanese, which made us feel at ease. They chatted with us, and before we knew it, we had arrived. From the narrow path leading to the beach, we could see the emerald green sea, and the refreshing sea breeze really lifted our spirits (laughs). We quickly laid out a mat in the shade and rushed into the water with our floaties. The waves were calm in the morning, and we were super lucky to see a rainbow next to the island. While Waikiki Beach is lively and fun, once you visit Kailua, it feels like it would be a shame not to come back!
The seawater in January was still cold, so we couldn't snorkel for long, but we enjoyed walking along the beach and relaxing with a book on our mat. We chose pizza for lunch, and the staff at the pizza place were very friendly. It came with drinks, and the recommended spinach and garlic pizza was a hit. The size was huge, about two faces worth, and we were very satisfied. Time flew by.
I definitely want to go back to Kailua Beach. I heard from the staff that the color of the ocean changes when you go further out, so next time I hope to try kayaking and make it to the island. I had a relaxing time at one of the most beautiful beaches in my life, so I highly recommend it!
念願のカイルアビーチに1月に母と参加しました。母はきれいな海を見てのんびりしたいようで、かたや私はシュノーケルやボディーボードにもアクティブに挑戦したかったので、「カイルア観光・シュノーケル体験 ランチ付き」にしました。
ホテル送迎してくきれたスタッフさんも日本人で安心しました。いろんな話をしてくださったので、あっという間に到着。
海辺に向かう細道からエメラルドグリーンの海がみえ、爽やかな海風にもうテンション上がりまくり(笑)すぐ木陰にゴザを敷き、うきわを持って海に駆け込みました。午前中は波が穏やかで島の横から虹もかかってすごくラッキーでした。ワイキキビーチも賑やかでたのしいけれど、一度カイルアを訪れたらもうカイルア来ずしてはもったいないって感じです♪
1月の海水はまだ冷たく、長時間シュノーケルはできなかったけど、浜辺を歩いたり、マットを敷いてのんびり読書してリラックスできました。
私たちはランチはピザをチョイス。ピザ屋の定員さんも感じよかったです。ドリンク付きでした。おすすめのほうれん草とガーリックのピザは大当たりでした。サイズも顔2つ分はあるくらいのビックサイズで大満足。あっという間の時間でした。
また絶対カイルアビーチに行きたいです。沖にでると海の色がまた違ってくるとスタッフの方から聞いたので次はカヤックに挑戦して島まで行けたらいいな。人生で一番美しいビーチに訪れリラックスした時間を過ごせたのでオススメです♪

I stayed at the Sheraton in Waikiki for 5 nights and 7 days. I paid an additional fee for the convenience of being transported to the hotel by a large bus. It was very convenient since using public transportation with children is quite difficult, and I didn't rent a car. I was also worried about how much a taxi would cost and whether taxis are safe, even in Hawaii.
I went with my two elementary school-aged sons, my mother in her 50s, and myself, a group of four. There were many slides and a pool with waves, as well as a pool suitable for small children. The kids seemed to have a great time.
There is a bag check, and outside food is not allowed. The locker usage fee is around $13 for a smaller one and about $18 for a larger one, which seemed a bit expensive. We ate hot dogs, cheeseburgers, chicken, and fries. The weather was sunny, and we had a lot of fun! Also, there were lifeguards present, so it felt safe.
5泊7日でワイキキのシェラトンに宿泊。
表示の追加料金を払いましたが、大型バスでホテルに送迎してくれたので、とても便利でした。
子連れではなかなか交通機関を使った移動は難しいし、レンタカーも借りてないし、タクシーだといくらかかるか、ハワイといえどもタクシーじたいが安全なのか不安なので。
小学生の息子2人、50代の母と私の4人で行きました。
たくさんのスライダーや波がでてくるプール。小さな子でも遊べるようなプールもありました。
子どもたちはとにかく楽しそうでした。
バッグの持ち込み検査があるのと、食べ物は持ち込み不可。ロッカー使用料は暗証番号で何度も開閉できるけど、13ドルぐらいの小さめと18ドルぐらいのがあり高いな、、といった印象。
食べ物はホットドッグ、チーズバーガー、チキン、ポテトなどを食べました。

While it was advertised as "swimming with dolphins," in reality, most of the time was spent having participants line up to touch the dolphins as they swam by or giving them kisses. The actual experience of swimming with the dolphins was just a brief moment, only a few meters. I felt that the price was too high for what was offered. The dolphin show in another pool at the facility was also underwhelming.
「イルカと泳ぐ」と銘打っていながら、実際は参加者を並ばせて側をイルカに泳がせて触らせたり、イルカとチューさせたり、でほとんどの時間を使い、イルカにつかまって泳ぐのはほんの一瞬、ほんの数メートルのみ。
その割には金額が高過ぎると感じた。

Since I have small children, I thought a dolphin swimming tour at the beach would be impossible, so I used this facility for the first time. However, I felt that the time spent interacting with the dolphins was short for the high price. There was a dolphin show within the facility that I was looking forward to, but I felt that the dolphin shows in Japan are more wonderful.
小さい子供がいるので、海でイルカを泳ぐツアーは無理だろうと、初めてこの施設を利用しましたが、高額の割にはイルカと接している時間は短いと感じました。
参加したプログラム以外に、施設内でイルカショーをしており、期待してましたが、
日本のイルカショーの方が素晴らしいと感じました

The guide was not very informative, did not say much the whole time of the ride.

It felt like it started and ended somewhat aimlessly. It must be great for children and the elderly.
なんとなく始まりなんとなく終わった感じです。
お子さんとかお年寄りにはとてもいいんでしょうね。

I was excited for my first parasailing experience! Since it was our honeymoon, we decided to try something we wouldn't normally do, and we took on parasailing.
The pickup was in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue. It might be a bit hard to find? A trolley came to pick us up. It was a flashy trolley with a parasailing design against a blue sky.
As soon as we got on the trolley, we arrived at the sea.
After checking in at the boat dock and waiting for a while, we were taken onto the boat in order based on our parasailing height.
We were given a paper during check-in, so if you show it to someone near the boat, there won't be any mistakes.
Once on the boat, the explanation began right away. They spoke in simple English, which was easy to understand, and there was also a Japanese instruction sheet circulating, so it was fine.
I think the parasailing lasted about 5 minutes per group.
But it was very satisfying! In fact, for first-timers, 5 minutes might be tiring.
When we experienced it, the weather was great and the scenery was fantastic.
Seeing Hawaii from the sky was wonderful.
At one point, they lowered the height and dipped our bottoms in the water.
As first-timers, we were satisfied even at 110 meters!
I enjoy heights and thrilling attractions, but it turned out that my wife isn't very good with heights. She seemed to have fun, though.
As a side note, all four couples who participated with us were mixed-gender couples, and among them, three women, including my wife, got seasick from the boat's rocking instead of from parasailing. It might be a bit tough for those who are prone to motion sickness.
I would love to participate again.
人生初のパラセイリングでワクワク!
新婚旅行だったので普段しないようなことをしようということでパラセイリングに挑戦しました
ピックアップはデュークカハナモク像の前
少しわかりずらい?トロリーが迎えに来てくれます
青空がバックのパラセイリングの写真柄の派手なトロリーでした
トロリーに乗るとすぐに海に到着
船の乗り場で受付を済ませてしばらく待っているとパラセイリングの高度別?で順番に船に乗せてもらえます
受付の際に紙を渡されるので、それを船の近くにいる人に見せれば間違うことはありません
船に乗るとさっそく説明が始まります
簡単な英語で話してくださるのでわかりやすいですが、日本語の説明書も回覧で回ってくるので大丈夫です
パラセイリングは1組ずつで5分ほどだったと思います
が、とっても満足できます!
むしろ初めてだと5分以上は疲れるかもしれません
私たちが体験したときは
天気も良く景色はサイコーでした
空から見たハワイも素晴らしかったです
途中高度を下げてお尻を水面にもつけてくれます
初めての私たちは110mでも満足は出来ましたよ!
私は高いところやスリリングなアトラクションは好きなのですが、嫁は高いところがあまり得意ではないということが今回の体験で判明しました
楽しかったのは楽しかったようですが。
余談ですが今回一緒に参加した4組は全て
男女のカップルだったのですが、ウチの嫁を含め3組の女性がパラセイリングではなく船の揺れで酔っていました
船酔いしやすい方には少し辛いかもしれません
また参加したいです。

I was already feeling excited before the tour even started with the bus pickup around the hotels in Waikiki. The boat was larger than I expected and spacious, so I think it would be hard to get seasick unless the waves were really rough.
We had a meal on the boat, but I wouldn't get my hopes up about it. It was just ordinary local cuisine.
Inside the boat, they showed us pictures and explained things in English. It was labeled as having a Japanese guide, but there was none at all. I think they should revise that description.
When I went out on the deck, the weather was nice and the view was amazing. I felt like it was the right time to go out, but I wish they had informed us when we could go out.
Fortunately, we were able to see three whales swimming alongside us, and we got to see a lot of spouts. We even encountered one that was flipping its large tail while diving.
There were tourists from various countries on board, and everyone had their own way of enjoying the experience. I found myself having fun too, thanks to a lady who was joyfully shouting and celebrating.
ワイキキのホテルを回りながらのバスピックアップで、参加前から気分が高揚しました。
船は思っていたより大きくて、ゆったりしているので、よほど波が荒くなければ酔いにくいんじゃないかと思います。
船の中で食事を食べるのですが、これはあまり期待しない方がいいです。
ごく普通の現地料理。
船内で、写真を見せながら英語で説明をしてくれます。日本語ガイドと表記されていましたが、それは一切ありませんでした。これは表記は改めた方がいいと思います。
甲板に出ると、天候が良く素晴らしい景色でした。
これも、なんとなく今のタイミングだと思ってデッキに出たんですが、いつから出ていいのかは言ってほしいところですね。
運よく、3匹の鯨と並走で、潮吹きはたくさん見ることが出来まして、潜る際に大きく尾びれを回しているところにも遭遇できました。
色々な国から集まった観光客が乗り込んでいて、楽しみ方も様々。
大声で騒いで喜んでいるおばさまにつられて、こちらも楽しくなりました。

The tour was professionally organised and well run. The boat provided plenty of viewing opportunities for all onboard. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We found some whales but didn't get really close (which was the only downside).
