I had always wanted to see whales at least once in my life! I imagined witnessing their majestic leaps from the ocean and their tail fins sinking like ginkgo leaves. When I had the chance to go to Hawaii in January, I thought this was my opportunity and signed up. I waited on the deck for two hours, filled with excitement and anticipation, but unfortunately, they never appeared. I understand that encounters with nature depend on luck, but it was disappointing. Still, I believe I will see them someday, and I would like to sign up again. The tour was easy to understand and friendly, and the boat was large, which gave me a sense of security.
一生に一度は見たいと思っていたクジラ!海から躍り出る雄姿や、海に沈んでいくイチョウのような尾ビレが見られたらと思っていました。今回Hawaiiに1月に行くことで、これはチャンスと思い申し込みました。ワクワクドキドキしながら、甲板で2時間待ちましたが、とうとう現れてくれませんでした。自然界との遭遇は運もあるとは思っていましたが、残念でした。でも、いつかは見られると信じて、また申し込みをしたいと思います。ツアーは分かりやすく親切で、船も大きくて安心感がありました。
ホエールウォッチングは運もあるとは思いますが、できれば絶対見られる時期などを狙ったほうがいいのかな。大きな船なので揺れは少ないとは思いましたが、酔う人は酔い止めはマストです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that you didn't get to see any whales this time, but we are glad you enjoyed the views from the ship. 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お越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回クジラに会えなかった事が残念ですが、船上からの眺め等お楽しみ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。

The staff was very friendly. As soon as we got on the boat, we were able to see what looked like a whale's tail and back. There was music playing on the boat, and the breeze felt nice.
スタッフはとても親切でした。
ボートに乗ると直ぐにクジラのしっぽと背中らしきものをみることができました。ボートの中では音楽が流れていて風が気持ちよかったです。
It finished around 10:30, so I can make good use of the afternoon.

I got lost and couldn't make it to the meeting point on time, but I received a kind phone call that helped me find my way. The phone line that mentioned Japanese support had announcements in English, which was a bit confusing.
The cruise itself became a wonderful memory. I felt lucky to see whales, but even if I didn't, I was glad to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Since I couldn't see any whales, the night view of the city from the sea was also very nice. There were only a few passengers on the boat, and the tour guides were charming and created a pleasant atmosphere. There were also drinks and snacks provided, making it a very comfortable experience.
I definitely want to participate again if I have the chance! ^ ^
集合場所が分からなくて迷子になってしまい、集合時間に間に合わなかったのですが、電話がかかってきて親切に教えて下さいました。日本語対応と書かれた電話は英語のアナウンスで少し困った点でした。
クルーズ自体はとても最高な思い出になりました。時期的にもクジラはみれたらラッキーかなという気持ちだったので、クジラを見れなくてもきれいなサンセットを見れてよかったです。クジラを見れなかったサービスも兼ねてということで、海から見る街の夜景もとてもよかったです。船に一緒に乗るお客さんは少人数で、添乗員さんは雰囲気の良い美男美女さんで、飲み物やお菓子のサービスもあり、とても過ごしやすかったです。
ぜひまた機会があれば参加したいと思います^ ^
Aloha! Poyo. Thank you for joining the Waikiki Sunset Cruise & Whale Watching tour. I apologize for any confusion regarding the meeting location and phone announcements. It was unfortunate that you couldn't see any whales, even though everything was in the wild and natural setting. Thank you for the five stars despite that.

Before boarding, it was unfortunately raining, but once we got on the boat, the rain stopped and we had clear skies. After enjoying stories from the captain and crew that heightened our excitement about possibly seeing whales, we headed to the deck. While we strained our eyes looking out to sea, we sadly didn’t spot any whales, perhaps they were on their New Year’s break. However, we were able to leisurely enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, making for a refreshing cruise. Due to scheduling conflicts, I didn’t receive the next free boarding voucher, but many others did. If the opportunity arises again, I would love to participate.
乗船前にはあいにくの雨が降っていましたが、乗船すると雨があがり晴天に。
鯨に会えるかもしれないドキドキ感をさらに高揚させてくれる船長やクルーのお話しを楽しんだ後、いざデッキへ。
目を凝らしながら沖を眺めるもクジラも正月休みだったのか、残念ながら会えずに帰港となりましたが、沖からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドをゆっくり眺めることができ、爽やかなクルーズを楽しみました。
日程の都合で次回の無料乗船バウチャーはもらいませんでしたが、多くの方が発行してもらっていました。
また機会があれば、参加したいなと思います。
Before boarding, participants receive a sticker to place in a visible spot, but many people had theirs blown away by the strong wind and ended up flying into the sea.

This was a great tour. I’m a little scared of the water. I don’t swim particularly well and I hate putting my head underwater. I wore a life jacket. The hardest part for me was just getting from the steps of the boat under the water and putting my head into the scuba submersible head part of the scooter. Also getting back out. There were people assisting us with everything. What a great experience.! Highly recommended!
It would help if people could grab onto the stairs as they try to get out from underwater-less panic

It was easy to get around since the boat departs from Waikiki. At the snorkeling point, there were turtles that we could see up close. The water off Waikiki was also very clear and beautiful.
Additionally, after snorkeling, we cruised around to the back of Diamond Head, which made it feel like more than just a snorkeling trip. The staff only spoke English, but they provided explanations in Japanese, so even those who are not good at English will be fine!
ワイキキから船が出るので、移動が楽でした。シュノーケルポイントもカメが居て間近で見れました。ワイキキ沖でも水が澄んでいて凄く綺麗でした。
また、シュノーケルの後、ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏位までクルージングしてくれて、ただシュノーケルやってお終いって感じじゃなかったのが良かったです。スタッフは英語だけですが、日本語の説明書きを見せてくれるので、英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫です!

It was amazing.
Having a Japanese guide made me feel at ease.
Most of the participants were foreigners, so you can really enjoy the local atmosphere since there aren't many Japanese people.
There were plenty of staff on the boat who provided solid support and had very high energy.
We saw both dolphins and whales, and we also spotted sea turtles.
The bus ride to the location takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. It was quite cramped, and the air conditioning didn't work at all, so I was sweating a lot.
The journey to and from was the only tough part.
Lunch is distributed at the end, so it might be good to bring some salty snacks.
There is water available on the boat, so that's fine.
After getting in the water, it gets chilly, so a light jacket is essential.

The smiling crew guided us on board, and once we were seated, we were served banana bread along with coffee and tea. After departure, we enjoyed a humorous talk about whales by a naturalist, and then we went out on deck to take in the beautiful blue ocean and the views of Oahu from the sea that we don't usually get to see. Although we didn't encounter any whales, the informative announcements about whales and the Hawaiian sea kept us entertained throughout the cruise. A free voucher for a re-challenge was issued, so I definitely want to return to Hawaii again.
笑顔のクルーが乗船の案内をしてくれて席につくとバナナブレットとコーヒー紅茶のサービスをいただきました。出航後はユーモアたっぷりのナチュラリストによる鯨の話を楽しんだ後にデッキに出て美しいブルーオーシャンと普段見ることのできない海からのオアフ島の景色を堪能できました。肝心の鯨には遭遇しませんでしたが、鯨やハワイの海についての知識など退屈することのないアナウンスで終始クルーズを楽しめました。再チャレンジできる無料のバウチャーが発行されたので、また是非ハワイに戻って来たいと思います。
If you were unable to see the whales, please obtain your free voucher by following the English announcement before disembarking.

Since the main event is in early spring, I boarded with moderate expectations. However, we encountered a whale before reaching the point! Although I couldn't take any photos, I was able to enjoy watching a whale jump high up close (just like in promotional photos). Most of the passengers were Americans, but there were also about three groups of Japanese. It's easy to get there by Uber or bus, and for this price, I'm very satisfied!

It's inexpensive, the boat is large and stable, and the staff is not mean. I was told that we wouldn't see any whales in December, but we saw many, and they were very close, clearly showing their bodies and fins, even spouting water—it was truly moving. I think there were about 100 participants, but no Japanese people. Well, the restroom was smelly, but that's unavoidable. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. I've been to Hawaii around 30 times, but this might have been the best experience yet!

It was supposed to be a maximum of six participants, but there were more than six on the day I attended. Also, it was stated to be two hours, but it was less than that. In the water, it felt like we were in for about 40 minutes.
There is a building for check-in, but there were no staff present at the time, which made it uncomfortable to wait alone in an empty area. (There were some people from a nearby cage tour, which added to the confusion.)
You have to hold onto the rope on the side of the boat at all times. The waves were high, and if you accidentally let go, you would get scolded for safety reasons. While waiting with the rope, one by one, we were called by the guide, and we had to swim from the rope to where the guide was. However, it felt pointless to dive when the sharks were not around during the count. There were sandbar sharks far away, and that day there were hammerheads and blacktips, but no tiger sharks. Since it’s nature, that’s understandable, but honestly, the sharks were farther away than I expected, and the water was a bit murky, so I wished I could see them up close.
When the boat's engine revs, the sharks come up a bit. It was okay to bring a GoPro and take pictures. You can rent fins, snorkels, masks, and rash guards. The guide only speaks English, so it can be tough if you don’t understand.
Also, please note that there is no place to change. The nearby restroom is for women, but there are no private stalls. Around noon, a man (possibly a homeless person?) came out of the women's restroom. There was also a dog that seemed to belong to him, and it smelled quite bad, so I quickly changed on the street in the parking lot.
MAX6名とのことですが、参加した日の回は6名以上いました。
また、2時間と記載がありますが2時間無しです。海の中にはいっているのは体感的に40分あるかないかくらいでしょうか。
受付は建物がありますが、スタッフは居ない時間帯で誰も居ないところでポツンと待つのは不安でした。(近くのCageありのツアーの方がいたりしてちょっと混乱)
常に船の側面にある紐をつかんでいないといけません。波が高く、煽られてうっかり手が離れてしまったりしたら怒られます。(安全面のため)
紐を持って待って居ると一人ずつガイドに呼ばれたら、紐からガイドがいるところまで泳いで、ガイドのカウントで潜りますが、サメが居ないところでそのカウントで潜らせられても何も…という感じでした。下の遠くの方にサンドバーシャークがわらわら居る感じで、その日はハンマーとブラックチップも居ましたが、タイガーは居ませんでした。自然相手なのでそこは仕方ないですが、思っているより全体的にサメが遠かった+白濁り気味でしたのでもう少し近くで見たかったというのが本音。
船のエンジンをふかすとサメが少し浮上してきます。

I came to Hawaii to see whales. When I went to Hokkaido, I also stared intently at the ocean surface searching for whales. In Hawaii, I also gazed at the sea, looking for them. (The captain tried various things like bananas and shrimp.) But unfortunately!! This time it didn't work out!! Next time, for sure!
クジラが見たくてハワイに来た。
北海道に行った時もジーッと海面を見つめてクジラを探した。
ハワイでもジーッと海をにらんで探した。(キャプテンもバナ
ナ、エビの投入など色々、試してくれた。)でも残念!!今回
はダメだった!!次はぜひ
Never give up and keep challenging yourself.

The snorkel trip was awesome! I was reluctant to go snorkeling at all but it was the highlight of our trip! The crew was very nice and very helpful. The boat was beautiful. We were lucky because the water was clear, and there were lots of turtles and so many fish! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Aloha! Dear newlyweds, thank you for participating in the Dolphin School! We also appreciate the five stars. On the day of the tour, we were truly lucky to see a rare pilot whale up close in the water. Its large body was very impressive! I'm glad you were able to relax and enjoy. I hope it became one of the wonderful memories of your honeymoon. If you have the chance to come back to Hawaii, please take advantage of the repeat visitor discount and re-enroll in the Dolphin School! We all sincerely look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo nui and A hui hou!
