All Reviews for Hawaii Private Boat Charters

We participated with six people ranging from my daughter in her 20s, to those in their 30s and 50s, and my mother who is 88 years old.

At the beginning, those who wanted to hear the explanation in Japanese gathered on the deck (which is netted and allows you to see the ocean below), while the explanations inside the ship were in English, so naturally, we chose the deck. Out of the six of us, four were honestly a bit nervous sitting on the net while listening to the explanation. The Japanese explanation was enjoyable and started the time well.

Everyone took motion sickness pills just in case, but I thought being on the deck would definitely be more fun, and if you stay on the deck, you probably won't get seasick.

We caught a glimpse of a whale shortly after the cruise started, but it was hard to see more after that. However, even without seeing whales, the lively staff made it very enjoyable. We saw another whale on the return trip.

Although it wasn't extremely close, we were able to see it spouting water. We also enjoyed the view of the Waikiki hotels from the sea.

It was mentioned that two drinks were included in the ticket price, but since it was a one-hour cruise, most people probably only had one drink! I enjoyed the champagne.

I thought the cruise duration could have been a bit longer. My 88-year-old mother also had a great time, and everyone was very satisfied.

We were lucky to participate at a discounted rate due to a campaign!

一番下は20代の娘から、30代、50代、最高は母88歳までの6人で参加。
はじめに、日本語の説明を聞きたい人はデッキ（ネットになっていて下は海面が見えるところ）で、船内は英語で説明ということでしたので当然デッキで。それも6人のうち4人は正直にネットの上におっかなびっくり座って説明を聞きました。日本語堪能そして楽しい説明で時間がスタート。　
一応全員酔い止めも飲んでいましたが、デッキの方が絶対楽しいし、デッキにいれば酔うこともまずないかなと思います。
クジラはクルーズスタートから間もなくちらっと見えてあとはなかなか。でもクジラが見えなくてもノリノリのスタッフでとても楽しんでいました。復路でもう一度クジラが見えました。
ものすごく近い距離ではなかったのですが、潮を吹くところも見ることが出来ました。
海から見えるワイキキのホテル群の景色も楽しめました。
2杯までアルコールはチケット代に入っているということでしたが、1時間のクルーズなのでほとんどの人は1杯かな！？シャンパンを美味しく頂きました。
もう少し長くてもいいかなと思うくらいのクルーズ時間でした。
88歳の母もとても楽しかったと全員大満足です。
今回はキャンペーン中ということでお安く参加出来てラッキー！

I couldn't see it, but it was a good boat trip in a short amount of time, I suppose? Unfortunately, I couldn't see it, but it was nice to relax on the boat while feeling the wind and enjoy the view from offshore rather than from the beach. The cost performance was good since it was two people for the price of one. It might be better to go in with the mindset that if you can see it, you'll be super lucky...

見れませんでしたが、短時間で、良い船旅ってとこでしょうか？
残念ながら見れませんでしたが、風を感じながら船上で寛いだり、ビーチからではなく、沖からの眺めを楽しむことも出来るのでよかったです。二人で一人分というコストパフォーマンスがよかった。見れれば、超ラッキー位でいったほうが良いかも・・・

The weather was nice, and I was able to see whales. The staff who understood Japanese were very kind.

天気も良く、そしてクジラも見れよかったです。
日本語の分かるスッタフがとても親切にしてくれました。

Although it can't be helped that we didn't see any whales, I felt that the tour itself was different from what whale watching should be.

The staff also seemed to respond with, "Huh? Whale watching? I hope you see some," which didn't give me much confidence.

I think for the other guests, it was advertised as a yacht cruise. We were completely misled.

クジラがまったく見えなかったのは
仕方ないとはいえ、
ツアー自体が、ホエールウォッチングとは
違う内容だと感じました。

スタッフも、え？ホエールウォッチング？
見えるといいね、
みたいな対応でしたから。

私たち以外のお客さんには、
ヨットのクルーズとうたっていると思う。
まんまと騙されました。

When I rode on a larger ship in the past, although I could see whales, the experience was not very moving because the ship was too big. From that experience, I chose a smaller boat this time. It was nice that there were about 10 participants, mostly older couples, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Since it was a smaller boat, we could get within a few dozen meters of the whales, which was truly moving! It was also reassuring that there was someone on the crew who could speak Japanese.

昔大きめな船に乗った時は、船が多き過ぎて一応クジラは見えたものの、あんまり感動が少なかった。その経験から今回は小さい船を選びました。参加者が10名程度でほとんどが年配のご夫婦でゆったりした雰囲気なのも良かったし、小さい船なのでクジラに数10メートルと近寄れたので感動でした！！クルーに日本語が話せる人が居たのも安心できました。
