Whale Watching Sail in Waikiki on the Honu Lani with Optional Transportation Available [Dec - Mar]

Fun

Reviewed by: Tokyoboy

When I arrived to Kewalo Basin Harbor little bit earlier than their check-in time by our self, I couldn't fin their pier. It is just couple ships next from the pirates ship.
It is just small boat. But, Captain and crew's hospitality was really good.
Small ship means can turn easy to chase whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't watch whales much closer. But, Crews tried to do their best.
During activity, when my wife wanted to lay down on storage of life jackets, Captain brought life jacket for her to use it as cushion. Other staff was very kind for our kids. It was fun and much enjoyed.
I am sure that I will try to aboard this activity once again at next time.
Thank you very much for making our very good time.

The cruising experience was enjoyable. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. Since they didn't search for whales very much, it's better not to have high expectations.

クルージングは普通に楽しめました。

クジラを見るのは、あまり探してくれなかったので、期待しすぎないほうがよい。

I guess this is it. こんなもんかな

Reviewed by: ひさぽん

The level was lower than I had imagined. You might see whales, but it's better to think of it as a lucky chance if you do. Simply going out to the open sea and feeling the pleasant breeze makes it worth the price. It's also suitable for busy people since there's no need to go to the port for a pickup.

想定していたイメージよりレベルが下でした。
クジラは見えるかもしれませんが見えたらラッキーと思っていた方がいいです。
単純に外洋に出て心地よい風に当たると思えば値段的にもお得と思います。
わざわざ送迎にて港へ行く必要がないため忙しい方に向いていますね。

Private Kaneohe Sandbar Speed Boat Rental with SUP & Snorkel – Captain Bruce

Thank you from Australia

Reviewed by: Hortons from Australia

Our family did the private boat charter when on vacation in Oahu just a couple of weeks ago, after booking from the Internet and just hoping we would get a tour that we would not forget. We were not disappointed at all, not realizing this company catered largely for Japanese tourists we were so impressed with our charter. Our captain was just so friendly and informative and made us feel very welcome and was great fun too. We will certainly be coming back again one day and booking another charter and would highly recommend to anyone that wants to treat themselves to something special and spoil themselves on a captain Bruce charter. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
Kind regards, the Hortons from Down Under !

I was able to see whales! クジラ見れました!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated on April 2, 2012. It was the last season for whale watching, but I was thrilled to see the whales spouting water. It was great that there were staff members who spoke Japanese. The location for boarding the boat and the check-in area were a bit difficult to find, so it would be better if that could be improved.

2012年4月2日に参加しました。
クジラウォッチングとしてはシーズン最後でしたが、クジラが潮を吹くところが見れて大感激でした。
日本語をしゃべるスタッフもいて良かったです。
船に乗る場所や受付をするところが解りづらいので改善されればなお良いです。

I couldn't see the whales!! くじらは見れなかった!!

Reviewed by: あーさん

I participated because it departed from the pier in front of the Hilton and the price was low, but we didn't see any whales, and the one-hour sailing ended in no time.

They mentioned that we could only go as far as Diamond Head (in English), and there was no particular explanation on the way back to the harbor. When I asked for water, it smelled musty...

However, I thought of it as sailing on a yacht and gave up.

I wonder if it's better to go on a larger boat when you really want to see whales? I heard that smaller boats can get closer, so I had quite a bit of expectation, but I thought it might be limited to boats that depart from Ko Olina.

ヒルトン前の埠頭から出発ということと、値段の安さで参加したのですが、クジラは見れないまま、一時間のセイリングはあっという間に終わってしまいました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドの前あたりまでしか行けないようなことを、言ってはいましたが(英語のみ)港に戻る時もとくに説明はなく、水を頼めば、カビ臭いし、、、

でも、ヨットでのセイリングと思って、あきらめました。

やはり、どうしてもクジラが見たい時は、大型船で行く方が良いのかな?
小型の船のほうが、近くまで行けるようなことを聞いたので、結構期待していたのですが、やはり、コオリナからとか出る船に限られるのかな?と思いました。

Thank you for participating in the whale watching cruise. During whale season, whales appear off the coast of Waikiki, and the captain was searching for them, but it seems we were unable to spot any on that day, which is unfortunate.

As you pointed out, the cruise is only one hour long, so we do not venture too far. We also apologize for any discomfort caused by the water we provided. We will ensure better quality control for the beverages served on board.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズにご参加いただき有難うございます。
クジラのシーズンになるとワイキキ沖にもクジラが出現しているため、クジラをご覧いただくためにキャプテンが探しておりますが、当日はご確認いただけなかったようで残念に思っております。

ご指摘いただきましたとおり、クルーズ1時間と短いため、あまり遠くまではでておりませんことご了承ください。なお、提供させていただいた水により不快なお気持ちにさせてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。船上で提供しているお飲み物の品質管理などを徹底させていただきます。

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.

当日は天気も良く楽しいクルージングでした。
ワイキキのビル群とダイヤモンドヘッドの自然の対比が大変きれいで感動しました。

I participated in the whale watching tour, but as others have mentioned, it didn't feel like that at all; cruising was the main focus. However, I originally signed up knowing that and thought it would be lucky if I got to see any whales, so I enjoyed it normally. Of course, I didn't see any whales, but I was satisfied...

ホエールウォッチングということで参加しましたが、他の書き込み通りそんな感じはさらさら無い、クルージングがメインです。でも元々それを承知で見れたらラッキーくらいで申し込んだので普通に楽しめました。もちろん?クジラは見られませんでしたけど満足でした。。。

Thank you for participating in the whale watching cruise. We are in contact with other captains to search for whales, but it seems that this information was not communicated to our guests, and we apologize for that. Please understand that due to the nature of wild animals, there may be times during the cruise when we are unable to confirm their presence. We look forward to serving you again.

At the end of February, it's still quite cold. Buying a fleece at Ross Dress for Less was the right choice. If the weather had been better, it might have been different!

Whale tour? クジラのツアー?

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The goal is not to see whales. It's better to think of it as enjoying the feeling of going out into the open sea, with the chance of seeing dolphins by chance. The campaign offers a deal where two people can go for the price of one, which felt like a good value. There were also two free drinks and some snacks, so it might be worth participating instead of aimlessly wandering around the city.

クジラを見ることが目的ではないです。
偶然イルカが見えただけで、外洋に出る気持ちよさを味わうと考えたほうがいいです。
キャンペーンで2人で1人分だからお得感はありました。
アルコールも2杯は無料でしたし、ちょっとしたお菓子もあるので、意味なく街をブラブラするぐらいなら参加してもいいのでは。

Thank you for participating in the whale watching cruise. During the tour, you can enjoy the views of Waikiki from the sea, sailing, and if you're lucky, observing wild dolphins and sea turtles. Regarding the whales, please understand that while the captains communicate with each other to search for them, there may be times when you cannot spot them during the cruise due to the nature of wild animals. We look forward to serving you again.

It was exciting! 盛り上がりました!

Reviewed by: mukumuku

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... 見れなかった・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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・・・

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.

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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。
