The day before was rainy, and there were strong winds on the day itself, so I understood to some extent, but I was unable to see any whales. The sea was rough, and even though it was a large ship, it was rolling and certainly not in a comfortable environment.
I understand that nature is unpredictable, so I can accept not seeing anything, but it left me feeling dissatisfied that there was no interaction at all on the ship or the return bus before we parted ways.
I at least wanted a word of acknowledgment.
前日雨、当日強風という日でしたのですある程度理解はしていましたが、クジラは見る事ができませんでした。
海はシケていたので、大型船ですがうねりながらと決して快適とも言えない環境でした。
見れなかったことに対しても自然が相手だからわかりますが、船でも、帰りのバスでも全く触れないまま解散と、なんだか不満だけが残りました。
せめて、ひと言欲しかったです。

I participated in a tour to see dolphins for the first time!! In the morning, they picked us up at the hotel, and the explanation began on the bus. The guide created a lively and fun atmosphere for all participants!! The dolphin school lesson was also very easy to understand.
At this time, we were asked about renting wetsuits. It was $10 per person, but since it was cold during this season, renting was definitely the right choice! By the way, everyone ended up renting one.
After getting on the boat, we spotted dolphins in about 20 minutes!! Even though it was my first time snorkeling with dolphins, I was truly moved to hear their voices! The blue sea and blue sky!! It was such a wonderful world. It seemed we found the dolphins early, and afterwards, we were taken to dolphin spots 2 or 3 more times, allowing us to swim with them. I'm glad I participated in the dolphin school. If I have the chance again, I will definitely join!
初めてイルカを見にいくツアーに参加しました!!朝はホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、バスの中で説明が始まります。ガイドさんは元気よく参加者全員が面白く楽しい雰囲気作りをして下さいます!!イルカ中学の授業もとてもわかりやすいです。
この時にウエットスーツのレンタルを聞かれます。お一人10ドルでしたがこの時期は寒いのでレンタルして正解でした!ちなみに全員の方がレンタルされました。
船に乗ってからは20分くらいでイルカを発見出来ました!!シュノーケリングでイルカと泳ぐのは初めてにも関わらずイルカの声が聞けて本当に感動しました!青い海に青い空!!本当に素敵な世界でした。早めにイルカを見つける事が出来たみたいでその後も2.3回イルカスポットに連れていって下さりイルカと泳ぐ事が出来ました。イルカ中学に参加して良かったです。また機会があったら絶対に参加させていただきます!
ALOHA! Yuko,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School this time. It seems you were able to spot the dolphin teacher early on! Perhaps the dolphin teacher was approaching because they wanted to swim with everyone... ;)
Please join us again when you come back to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to seeing you!

I didn't feel any seasickness on the large ship at all. The curry was delicious, and the staff were very pleasant. I saw whales about ten times. I gradually got used to it and was able to film some videos. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to see the whales closer and also meet dolphins and turtles.
大型船で船酔いはまったくなかったです。カレーも美味しかったし、スタッフも感じがよかったです。クジラは10回ぐらい見えました。だんだん慣れてきて動画も撮影できました。欲を言えばもっと近いところでクジラを見たかったし、イルカや亀にも会いたかったです。

I was picked up by a large bus in front of the hotel and headed to Aloha Tower. It was reassuring to have a Japanese-speaking staff member accompanying us, which made the experience enjoyable. Before boarding, there was a commemorative photo opportunity, and I purchased it for $30 (which included a photo and a commemorative cover with a mount, and they also sent the file to my email). There were other options available for just the photo or just the file.
Once on board, we started lunch (a buffet) in a spacious indoor area with a great view (it had a bit of a party venue atmosphere). The meal included curry, chicken, cold pasta, and four types of fruit. Alcohol was available for an additional charge, but coffee and tea were free. I would have appreciated a few more menu options, but the taste was good.
We waited for whales on the covered deck on the top floor. There was an announcement when a whale was spotted. After it spouted water, we were able to see its tail sinking into the sea multiple times. It was smaller and farther away than I expected, and it was just a fleeting moment, but it was still quite moving. I also enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and planes taking off from the airport from the boat. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.
ホテル前で大型バスにピックアップされ、アロハタワーに向かう。日本語のスタッフ同行で安心して楽しめた。乗船前に記念撮影があり、記念に$30(写真と記念の表紙付き台紙、メールアドレスにファイルも送ってもらえた。他にも写真のみやファイルのみの選択肢があった)で購入した。乗船した客より見晴らしの良い広い室内(ちょっとしたパーディー会場の雰囲気)で昼食(ブッフェ)がスタート。食事はカレー・チキン・冷製パスタ・フルーツ4種など。アルコールは別途有料だったが、コーヒー・紅茶はフリー。もう少しメニューが多いと嬉しいが、味は良かった。最上階の屋根付きデッキでクジラを待つ。クジラが発見されるとアナウンスあり。潮吹き後、尾が海へ沈む姿を何回も見ることができた。思っていたより遠くで小さくて一瞬だが、それなりに感動だった。船から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドや空港から飛び立つ飛行機などの様子も見られて良かった。ハワイ旅行の一番の思い出となった。

My family went on this amazing trip expecting to see whales spray and slap their tails against the water. We did get that and so much more. We got to see at least two whales breaching numerous times and just playing, diving in and out of the water. It was so incredible. That early wake up was 100% worth it. The boat was very spacious and I really enjoyed the ride. The crew narrator was very informative and the whole crew, especially the captain were very professional. Highly recommend this outing.

I wanted to experience interacting with dolphins, but I was a bit scared of diving into the ocean, so I searched for an optional tour and signed up for this one.
The experience of swimming while holding onto a dolphin's fin (being pulled along) is quite rare, and everyone in my group was really excited.
The instructor spoke mostly in English with a bit of broken Japanese, but they explained things slowly and clearly, making me feel that it was okay even if I wasn't confident in my English.
Although it's an additional cost, they take great photos for you.
After the dolphin experience, you can watch dolphin and sea lion shows or buy and eat hamburgers and hot dogs, but you might find yourself with a little extra time on your hands.
Overall, I was very satisfied.
イルカとふれ合う体験はしたいけど、海に潜るのはちょっと恐いと思いながらオプショナルツアーを探していて、このツアーに申し込みました。
イルカのヒレにつかまって泳ぐ(引っ張ってもらう)体験はなかなかできる体験ではなく、同じグループで参加した人たちも、みんな大はしゃぎでした。
インストラクターの人はカタコトの日本国の他は殆ど英語でしたが、ゆっくりわかりやすく話してくれて、英語に自信がなくても問題ないと感じました。
有料ですが、写真も上手に撮ってくれます。
イルカ体験の後は、イルカやアシカのショーを見たりハンバーガーやホットドッグを買って食べたりして過ごせますが、少し時間をもて余すかもしれません。
全体としては充分満足でした。

We loved everything. I am the biggest water and animal lover. The submarine was a great experience for us. Even though the reefs are all gone and they had boats, plans, and different materials placed as artificial reefs it just shows you how important our reefs are for sea life. It is a great learning experience to see the difference. How life is under water now after the way man has destroyed it and the ones who care enough to try to recover a small percent of what it would be if it had been left alone before people destroyed an environment for there own selfish reasons. Before booking I did read reviews of others who experienced the submarine tour before I decided to reserve our tour. Even though a lot of people stated they expected more and only gave it 1 and 2 stars I still decided to take the tour. I read Atlantis used partial of the proceeds to rebuild the reefs. If more people got together and helped rebuild what we all have destroyed then maybe there will be more fish and more variety everytime we come back. People should respect the homes of others, where animals live, and give to it instead of always taking. It was a great experience, it taught us to respect the beautiful nature in our world, to help rebuild, and stop destroying before there is nothing left to experience.

It must have been tough with the seasickness. Since encountering wild dolphins can vary, there are times when you have many chances and times when you don't.

The boat was tied up and swayed more than I expected because people were moving inside the cage. Even I, who have never been seasick, ended up vomiting. My friend felt so sick even after taking three motion sickness pills that they couldn't participate. Several others also vomited. Aside from that, it was the best experience. The sharks showed no interest in us and were not scary at all. Next time, I want to take motion sickness pills and try again.

I was torn about which boat to choose, but since I had already taken a dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu, I opted for the slightly smaller Majestic. The weather was nice, and the contrast between Diamond Head and the ocean was beautifully visible.
After heading out for a while, I spotted a whale's spout and was able to see its back and tail. After that, I saw quite a few spouts, but I couldn't confirm their full appearance. The boat was rocking quite a bit, and it seemed like many people were feeling a bit worn out, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. I bought motion sickness pills at ABC and was fine. If you're worried about foreign medication, it's better to bring extra from Japan!
どの船にするか悩みましたが、スターオブホノルル号にはディナークルーズで乗ったので、少し小さめのマジェスティック号にしました。天気も良く、ダイヤモンドヘッドと海のコントラストがキレイに見えました。
沖に出てしばらくすると、クジラの潮吹きが見え、背中、尾びれと見ることが出来ました。その後は潮吹きは結構見えましたが、姿を確認するまでには至りませんでした。結構揺れが激しく、ぐったりしている方も多かった様なので、酔いやすい人は薬を飲んでいった方が良いようです。私はABCで酔い止めを買って飲んだので大丈夫でした。海外の薬が不安なら日本から多目に買っていった方がいいですよ!

After enjoying the dolphin show at the park, we headed to the pool at the back of the park! We listened to the final explanation from the Japanese staff and entered the pool with the dolphins! Three women in their 50s participated, and two of them couldn't swim! Everyone wore life jackets, so even though we couldn't swim, we managed to make our way to the deep part in the center of the pool and waited for the dolphins to come to us. The dolphins swam on their backs, allowing us to ride on their bellies! We touched the dolphins and fed them fish, and before we knew it, time flew by! The photos were taken as an option for purchase later, but there were only three shots, so I wished they could have taken more pictures!

I participated with a friend.
We didn't see any whales.
Therefore, they were distributing re-boarding tickets towards the end of the cruise (it's a system where you have to go get it yourself, so be careful not to forget!).
Although we didn't see any whales, I had fun just being on the boat!!
However, since it was just simple scenery unless any creatures appeared, I noticed a few children looking bored.
It might be a bit tricky for those with small children...
After disembarking, there was someone who seemed to be the captain, and I was able to take a photo with him (^V^).
I was grateful that he was friendly and posed for the picture.

As the title suggests, whether you can see a jump depends on luck at that moment. After waiting for two hours, I finally caught a glimpse of a dorsal fin and saw it spouting water, but I couldn't help but wish to see a more spectacular sight like in the photos. Still, when I spotted it, I was simply thrilled to see it!
Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, it's definitely better to take some medication beforehand. (I usually don't get motion sickness, but I felt a bit queasy...)
I might have just been unlucky, but I think it's better to approach it with the mindset of "I might see a whale during the cruise, how lucky!" rather than "I will definitely see a whale!"
If I could wish for something, it would be great to have more events on the boat, like experiences with Hawaiian instruments, songs, the meaning of hula dancing, and how to move your hands, etc. There seems to be a lack of connection with the participants.
タイトル通りです。ジャンプが見られるかどうかはその時の運次第。
2時間待ってようやく海面から背びれがちらっと、潮を吹いているのが分かったという程度でしたので、思わず、写真のような姿が見たかったなぁと思いました。それでも、見つけた時はいたー!と単純に嬉しかったです。
また、乗り物酔いをする方は絶対に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいです。(普段乗り物酔いしない自分が少ししましたので。。。)
自分はたまたま運が悪かっただけかもしれませんが、「絶対クジラを見る!と意気込んで行く」というよりは、「クルーズ中にクジラが見えた、ラッキー」という感覚で行くくらいがちょうどいいかなと思いました。
欲を言えば、船の中でイベント毎がもっとあるとよかったです。例えばハワイの楽器体験・歌・フラダンスの意味・手の動かし方等々。参加者との連帯感にかける所がある。

This was my second experience.
This time there were waves, and many people got seasick. Thank you to the crew for handling the situation.
Unfortunately, despite the captain's search efforts, we weren't able to see any dolphins. Last time, we were able to see dolphins multiple times... But it's nature, so it can't be helped. However, the ukulele live performance and dance on board were very lovely.
I look forward to the next time!! (^^) Thank you! (The next time is undecided...)
二回目目の体験でした。
今回はうねりがあり、船酔いの方が続出でした。
アロハを処理するクルーの皆さん、ご苦労様でした。
キャプテンの捜索努力も実らず、イルカに会うことはできませんでした。
前回は何回もイルカと会うことができたのですが・・
自然相手ですから仕方ないですね。
でも、船上でのウクレレライブとダンスはとても素敵でした。
次回に期待します!!(^^)
ありがとうございました!
(次回は未定ですが・・・)

I was very satisfied to see a pod of dolphins, sea turtles, and whales. The staff were all nice, and I had a great time on the boat. I highly recommend it!
イルカの群れもウミガメもクジラも見れて大満足でした。スタッフさんがみんないい人で、船上でも楽しんで過ごせました。おすすめです!

Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program.
It was lucky to meet the whales that can only be seen during this season!
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the new boat, Hawaii Eco.
Please join us again when you come to Hawaii.

Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
We are very sorry that the weather was not good and that you could not enjoy whale watching.

We hope you will join us again in the future.

この度は私どものクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
天候があまり良くなく、鯨の観測もお楽しみ頂けなかった事、大変残念に思います。
また、鯨の見れなかった場合のアナウンスも船上で行っておりますが、お客様にはそのアナウンスが届かなかった事、
大変申し訳ございませんでした。
ぜひ、またの機会にいらして下さい。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
