At the beginning of the tour, I saw a glimpse of a whale's tail, but after that, nothing at all. It started to rain, which was a bit disappointing. Well, since it's nature, I guess there's nothing you can do about it.
ツアーのはじめの方で、クジラのしっぽが少し見えたのですが、その後は全く。雨も降ってきてしまい、ちょっと残念な結果でした。ま、自然相手なので、仕方ないかな、と思います。

I was able to see the whale perfectly. I'm also satisfied with the ray I created. However, I was surprised by how expensive the parking fee was.
くじらは、バッチリ会う事ができました。
レイも作成して、満足です。
ただ、パーキング代の高いこと、びっくりしました。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe whales.
Parking fees will be charged according to the pricing structure of the Aloha Tower Marketplace parking lot. Depending on the pricing structure, if you park for a long time, additional fees may apply, which could result in higher charges. It might be a good idea to check for parking options near Aloha Tower in advance.
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

鯨をご観測いただけた様で大変嬉しく思います。
パーキングはアロハタワーマーケットプレイスの駐車場料金設定によってチャージされます。料金設定上、長い時間停める場合は追加料金が加算されてしまうので、高くチャージされてしまう事がございます。
アロハタワーの近くのパーキング場を予めお調べいただくのも良いかもしれません。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

While the experience of directly interacting with dolphins and rays is very enjoyable, the price feels high, especially without any meals included. The park itself is not very large, so unless you participate in multiple activities, you can't spend a whole day there.
イルカやエイに直接触れるという内容自体は非常に楽しいのですが、如何せん食事も無しでこの値段は高く感じる。
園自体もあまり大きくないので、複数のアクティビティに参加しない限り丸一日は過ごせません。

残念ながら今回はクジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、イルカを見ることはできました。一人で参加の方も数名いましたし、気軽に参加できるツアーです。次回こそはクジラを生で見てみたいです!!

This is the only place where a one-and-a-half-year-old child can encounter dolphins and whales on a tour. It was amazing to see so many dolphins jumping and showcasing various tricks, something you can't experience in Japan. We had a few hours until the bus return time, but there were play equipment and shows in succession, so we never felt bored. Don't expect much from the food options.
1歳半の子どもがイルカ、クジラなどに出会えるツアーがあるのはここしかありませんでした。
あんなにたくさんのイルカたちがジャンプしたり、いろいろな技をみせてくれるのは日本では見られないくらい素晴らしかったです。
バスの帰る時間まで数時間ありましたが、遊ばせる遊具やショーが順々にあったので、持て余すことはありませんでした。

The cruising this time was blessed with good weather, and we even encountered whales off the coast of Diamond Head, making it the best event. My family who participated together was very satisfied. I understood that the limited variety of food at the buffet was acceptable given that it was on a ship. I also appreciated the somewhat hesitant Japanese explanations. After the whale encounter, there were activities on board like hula dance lessons, ukulele lessons, and lei-making experiences, ensuring that passengers were not bored, which made for a fun time.
今回のクルージングでは好天に恵まれ、またダイヤモンドヘッド沖でクジラにも遭遇でき、最高のイベントとなりました。
一緒に参加した家族も大満足です。
ビュッフェでの料理で食材の種類が限られるのも、船内でのビュッフェということで納得。
たどたどしい日本語の解説も好感が持てました。
クジラとの遭遇が終わった後も、船内ではフラダンス講習、ウクレレ講習、レイの手作り体験等、乗客が退屈しないような取組みがされており、楽しい一時でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe whales.

This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, and I finally got to visit Hanauma Bay. The views were amazing, and snorkeling was fun. The steep path to the beach was easy to navigate with the bus included in the Alan Wong tour. On the last day, I went again and was even more impressed. I want to go to Hanauma Bay again next time.
ハワイ4回目で初めて行けたハナウマ湾。素晴らしい眺望とシュノーケルは楽しかった。海岸までの急な坂道もアランワンのツアーなら、バス付きで楽々往復できました。最終日のもう一度行ってさらに感動。次も、また、ハナウマベイに行きたいです。

I was eager to partake in the Whale Watching Cruise, my husband joined in because he knew it was something I was keen on doing. I had high hopes & admittedly was disappointed. We saw numerous 'blows' but from a great distance, two flukes & one dorsal, again pretty far away. I realize there is no guarantees ~ I guess my expectations were unrealistic & the boat could not get too close for the safety of these beautiful animals.
I found it interesting & sad that family groups on the tour often were too busy on their iPhones, Game Boys etc., to bother going on deck ~ why did you come?? Leave the electronics at home & enjoy nature!!

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and beautiful fish, but it was very cold, perhaps because of the overcast sky. Everyone borrowed wetsuits, but especially when coming out of the water, there were several people, including myself, shivering. They lend you blankets, but since they get wet and don't cover your whole body, I ended up wearing a windbreaker and wrapping myself in a towel and blanket, looking like a rice ball. Depending on the weather, I think people who are sensitive to the cold might enjoy it more in a warmer season. However, the local staff were high-energy throughout, cheering us on with songs and dances. There were also three small children participating, and they were attentive to ensure they weren't scared, which showed their professionalism.
After getting back on land, there was a hula lesson in a nearby open space, but personally, I didn't think it was necessary. Free hula lessons can be experienced in various places, so if they were going to take so much time for the hula lesson, I think it would have been more enjoyable to have a longer free time for snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle surfing. Since there was only one kayak and one paddleboard, it seemed like each person could only ride for about five minutes within the short time frame.
One last thing: since it was overcast the whole time, I ended up getting sunburned because I didn't reapply sunscreen. Regardless of the weather, it's better to reapply it multiple times.
いるかにも亀にもきれいなお魚たちにもあえましたが、ずっと曇り空だったせいか寒くて寒くて…。全員ウエットスーツを借りていましたが、特に海からあがると、私を含めがたがたと震えている人が何人もいました。毛布を貸してくれますが、濡れるし体全体を包めるわけではないので、私はウィンドブレーカーを着てタオルと毛布をまきつけて、おむすび状態になっていました。天候によるでしょうが、寒がりの人はもう少し暖かい季節を選んだほうが楽しめるかと思います。ただ、現地のスタッフさんは終始ハイテンションで、歌や踊りで盛り上げてくれて、また、小さいお子さんが3人も参加していましたが、怖がらないように色々気を配っていて、プロ意識を感じました。陸にあがってから、少し離れた空き地でフラレッスンがありましたが、私的にはいらなかったかな。
無料のフラレッスンは結構いろんな場所で体験できるので、フラレッスンの時間をこんなにとるのなら、最後の自由時間(シュノーケル、カヤック、パドルサーフィン)をもっと長く取ってくれた方が楽しめたのではないかと思いました。カヤックもパドルサーフィンも1台ずつしかないので、短い時間内だと一人につき5分くらいしか乗れなかったようです。
最後にもう1つだけ。ずっと曇り空だったので、日焼け止めをつけなおししなかったらしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。天気に関係なく、何度も付け直しした方がよいですよ。

I recently participated in a tour with my sister. We were torn between a tour to meet trained dolphins, but we made the right choice with this one!
Since they are wild, there are rare occasions when you might not see them (by the way, the day before, they didn't see any dolphins but encountered a whale instead!). With excitement in our hearts, we set sail! Thanks to the cheerful crew, including our guide, we were able to meet the dolphins! Right below us, a family of dolphins was swimming! Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, you'll be fine with a life jacket. You'll float, though (laughs). I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is unsure.
After the main event, there were plenty of fun activities, and before we knew it, half the day had flown by. It was a tour where you could truly feel the aloha spirit that loves nature.
Thank you to the dolphins, honu (turtles), fish, and the crew, especially our guide! I hope to participate again.
先日妹と参加してきました。調教されたイルカと会えるツアーと迷いましたが、私たちはこちらで大正解でした!
野生なので会えないことも稀にあるとのこと(因に前日はイルカに会えず、クジラに出会えたとそうです!)期待で胸をふくらませ、いざ出航!!この日私たちをケアしてくれた陽気なトリさん(学級委員)始め、クルーの皆さんのサポートもあって、無事イルカ先生に逢えました!!すぐ下をいるかファミリーが泳いでいるじゃありませんか!!泳ぎに自信がなくても救命胴衣があるから大丈夫。いやでも浮きます(笑)ぜひ迷われている方は自信をもってお勧めするので体験して頂きたいです。
メインイベント終了後も楽しいアクティビティがたくさんあり、あっという間に半日が終了します。自然を愛するアロハスピリットを肌で感じるツアーでした。
イルカ・ホヌ(亀)・お魚の皆さん、クルーの皆さん、トリさん、ありがとう!
また参加させて下さい。

This is my second trip to Hawaii, and my husband is joining for the third time after ten years. We enjoyed the boat ride to the submarine, and I was relieved that I didn't get seasick.
I was excited to see the rare, cute, and colorful fish, and I was amazed by the sunken aircraft and the mysteries of the ocean floor.
The audio guide was hard to hear, but I managed to catch some English. We were worried about being late for the meeting time and hurried, but in the end, we had to wait about 30 minutes. I wish they had pushed back the check-in time. However, it was so enjoyable that it made up for it. I'm sure the kids will be thrilled!

潜水艦までの船から楽しめ、心配だった船酔いもなくスタートできました。

オーディオガイドが聞きにくく、なんとか英語を聞き取りました。

でも、帳消しになるくらい楽しめました。お子さんはきっと興奮ですね

I participated at my mother's request to touch a dolphin. As mentioned in the reviews, it feels like a group of about ten people doing a conveyor-belt style interaction, but swimming with real dolphins is a unique experience that you can't have often. There was a short dolphin show for Japanese group travelers at a time not listed in the pamphlet, and we happened to see it together. In addition, we watched shows featuring dolphins, penguins, and sea lions. Photos were sold in sets of three for $40. Overall, it's a bit pricey, but I think it's worth trying at least once.
いるかに触りたい♪という母の希望で参加しました。レビューにあるように、10人くらいのグループで流れ作業的に触る感じではありますが、やっぱり本物のいるかと一緒と泳ぐというのはあまりできない体験。パンフに無い時間帯に、日本人グループ旅行向けの短いいるかショーが有り、たまたま一緒に見させて頂きました。それ以外にもいるか、ペンギン、アシカのショーを見ました。写真は3枚セット40ドルで売っていました。全般的にお高いですが、一度やってみる価値はあると思います。

I participated alone, leaving my friend who is prone to seasickness behind. This tour is perfect for those who want to see sea turtles! If you wait, they come up to the surface for air, so even those who can't dive can see them up close. It's definitely better than the roped-off basking area at Laniakea Beach (laughs).
I read that they don't provide fins, so I brought my own. I didn't use them, but the floating stick that serves as a life jacket seemed a bit unreliable, so I think those who aren't confident in their swimming should wear a rash guard or bring a floatie for a more enjoyable experience.
There were only black fish, so you can't expect to see tropical fish while snorkeling. It was disappointing that we couldn't see dolphins during the cruising, but it was still a pleasant experience.
船酔いに弱いツレを置いて一人で参加しました。
ウミガメを見たい!って人にはもってこいのツアーです。
待っていれば息継ぎに海面まで上がってくるので潜れない人でも間近で見ることができます。ラニアケアビーチのロープ張られた甲羅干しより断然いいですよ(笑)
足ひれは貸してくれないとの書き込みがあったので持参しました。私は使いませんでしたが、ライフジャケット代わりの浮き棒は頼りなさそうだったので、泳ぎに自身のない人はラッシュガード着たり浮き輪を持っていったほうが安心して楽しめると思います。

After departing by boat, we encountered dolphins almost immediately (around 20 minutes in?), and everyone hurriedly jumped into the sea. We put on floating devices like life jackets and jumped into the water, but it might be a bit tough for those who can't swim.
While battling seasickness from the boat and the waves after entering the water, we swam close to the dolphins several times (for about 30 minutes?), which was very hard, but it was incredibly moving to meet the dolphins in the sea. In my case, I was a bit far away, so unfortunately, I couldn't quite feel like I was swimming with them.
After that, we moved by boat to another spot to see sea turtles. We were able to swim close enough to touch the sea turtles if we reached out, making it a very satisfying tour.
Finally, I wanted to mention some highlights of this tour for those who are unsure about which tour to choose:
- Encountering dolphins and turtles
- Availability of restrooms
- Receiving a group photo for free (two photos via email)
- Being able to rent a wetsuit ($5)
- Having Japanese staff present
- All staff members were enthusiastic and supportive of the participants.
船で出発後、すぐに(20分ぐらい?)イルカと遭遇し、みんなあわてて海へ飛び込みました。
ライフジャケットのような水に浮くものを装着して海の中に飛び込みますが、泳げない人はちょっと厳しいかもしれません。。。

私の場合は少し距離があったので、残念ながら一緒に泳いだ感覚にはなれませんでしたが。。。
その後、別のポイントまで船で移動しウミガメを見に行きました。
ウミガメとは手を伸ばせば触れるぐらい近くを泳ぐことができ、大満足なツアーでした^^

This is a tour that you can only experience here!! The location is on the North Shore, so it’s a bit far, but I definitely recommend participating. It’s very safe and you can join with peace of mind.
I signed up for the tour without transportation and met at the location because I had a rental car to enjoy the North Shore afterward. Since you can only get to the North Shore by car, I recommend going with a rental car.
The location is at the port next to Alii Beach, where there is a sign. There’s no one around, and it can be a bit difficult to find, so I recommend arriving early.
You will travel to a cage anchored offshore on a mysterious boat called "Dangerous Boat." About eight people will enter the cage.
You can see sharks from the boat, but once you’re in the cage, several sharks measuring 3 to 5 meters swim around you. When you throw food from the boat, you can see their fierce side, which is very exciting. It lasts about 20 minutes, but it was a lot of fun.
However, please note that Japanese is not spoken. After getting off the boat, there are showers at the nearby Alii Beach, so it’s better to park your rental car at Alii Beach! If you plan to go to the North Shore, I highly recommend it.
ここでしか体験できないツアーです!!場所がノースショアなので遠いのですが是非参加されることをお勧めします。とても安全で安心して参加できます。
私は、送迎なしの現地集合で申し込みました。それは終わったあとはノースショアを楽しむ為、レンタカーを用意していたからです。ノースショアは車でないと行けないのでレンタカーで行かれたほがお勧めです。
場所は。アリイビーチの隣の港で看板が立っています。誰もいませんし、ちょっとわかりにくいので早めに行かれることをお勧めします。
”危ない号”という不思議な船で沖合に係留してあるケージまで移動します。
大体8人くらいでケージに入ります。
船の上からでもシャークの姿が見えますが、ケージの中に入ると目の前を3~5mのシャークが数匹ケージの周りを泳いでいます。船の上から餌を投入すると獰猛な一面が見れて大興奮します。20分程度で終わりますがとても楽しかったです。
但し、日本語が通じませんのでご注意ください。船から上がったらシャワーは隣のアリイビーチにありますので、レンタカーはアリイビーチに停めたほうがいいでしょう!ノースショアに行く予定があれば是非お勧めします。

However, I was a bit disappointed with the hamburgers on the boat. The photos on the website show them being grilled on board, but in reality, they just handed out pre-made ones. Well, I guess it's to allow more time for enjoying the ocean, but that was a bit disappointing.
Even so, this optional tour was fantastic! I would love to participate again the next time I visit Oahu!

The hotel pick-up was at 6:00, so I rubbed my sleepy eyes and headed to the meeting point. They asked about the hotel location in advance, so they came close to the hotel.
The staff were very kind and high-energy! I was worried about feeling lonely since I was participating alone, but they made an effort to include me, so I didn't feel lonely at all. By the way, there were two other solo participants besides me.
As soon as we set sail, we saw a whale. However, it took a while for the dolphins to appear. Finally, we spotted them and were able to see them up close three times. Since it’s the birthing season, there were baby dolphins too.
During snorkeling, I was able to see turtles, various beautiful fish, and even rays.
On the way back, we saw two whales very close to us again.
It was full of experiences that you can't have in Japan, and I can't wait to brag about it to my family and friends when I get back.

Seeing and touching dolphins up close like this is something you can't easily do in Japan! It's definitely a must-visit at least once! Although it's a bit pricey, I think it's worth booking the Royal Course. You can kiss the dolphins, hold onto the dorsal fins and swim, and the dolphins will even push you with their snouts while you swim. They keep the camera rolling the whole time, taking photos for you, and within an hour, you can purchase the photos or a DVD. If you can swim, I highly recommend this experience. You'll wear a life jacket, but you need to swim to the edge of the pool on your own, so if you can do a dog paddle, you can participate! It might be a bit difficult for those who can't swim at all.
Depending on the season, it can be cold when you get out of the pool, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your clothes.
イルカがこんなに間近で見て、触れるなんて!
日本じゃなかなかできないことですので、絶対に1度は訪れるべきです!
少し高いですが、ロイヤルコースを予約するといいと思います。
イルカとkissしたり、2頭の背びれにつかまって泳いだり、イルカが鼻の先で足裏を押してくれて、泳いだりできます。終始カメラを回しており、写真も撮ってくれて、1時間もあれば、写真やDVDを購入することができます。
泳ぐことができる人であれば、是非経験したほうがよいと思います。
ライフジャケットを身につけますが、1人でプールの端まで泳いでいかないといけないので、犬かきができる人であれば、体験できます!まったく泳げない人は少し難しいかも。
季節によって、プールから上がると寒いので、羽織るものを持っていった方がよいと思います。

It has been a little while, but I participated in a dolphin swimming experience in Hawaii. The bright staff and their efficient service were great. There were a lot of people, and although we discovered a pod of dolphins, we found that entering the water late meant we missed out... That was a bit of a downside. While having a large group can be exciting, I felt that it might be better to have a bit of a limit on the number of participants. However, I would like to try the dolphin academy next time.
ちょっと時間が経ってしまいましたが、発ハワイでイルカと泳ぎたく参加しました。
明るいスタッフや手際の良い対応はよかったです。
人数が多く、イルカの群れを発見したものの
遅くに海に入ると間に合わない・・・という事があったのが
ちょっと難点でした・・・。
人数が多いと盛り上がっていいのですが、もう少し人数制限してもいいのかな、と感じました。
でも次回はイルカ中学の方を試してみたいと思います。

This was my first time going to Hawaii with my husband, and this time we booked activities online. The weather was nice on the day, but it was a bit chilly, and I wondered how it would go. However, the enthusiasm of the staff and the other participants made me forget the cold! The staff were very warm and friendly, and I was able to spend the whole time with a smile.
We got to see dolphins swimming, and we even encountered a whale! I had given up hope since it was still early in the season, so it was a surprise. I was so excited! It must be due to everyone's good deeds. The hamburgers for lunch were also really delicious, and the dance time was fun!
Thank you so much, Captain Ken, Avi, Kaina, and Kekoa! I would love to participate again next time with my whole family. It's snowing in Kobe. I miss the days spent in Hawaii! Staff, please take care of yourselves and give us another wonderful experience next time!

It was a program where we could interact with dolphins, so my husband’s parents and I participated together. This was my first time joining, and the dolphin that happened to assist us was Kekaimaru from Walfin. Since it was my first time interacting with a dolphin, I couldn't really tell the difference, but I was told that it was a bit larger than a regular dolphin. The staff were all very kind and accommodating, and I had a great time.
イルカに触れ合えるプログラムだったので、主人の両親と4人で参加しました。
今回初めての参加でしたが、たまたま対応してくれたイルカがウォルフィンのKekaimaruちゃんでした。イルカに触れ合うこと自体が初めてだったので、違いがよくわかりませんでしたが、普通のイルカよりも少し大きいとのことでした。
スタッフの方もみなさん親切に対応して頂き、とっても楽しかったです。

I used this for my honeymoon. I was moved to be able to interact with dolphins, which I had always dreamed of! I felt really glad to have participated in this precious experience that can only be done here.
新婚旅行での利用でしいた。
念願のイルカと触れ合えて感動!
ここでしか出来ない貴重な体験が出来て、参加して本当によかったと思えました。

The staff were all very cheerful, and I had a great time on the boat!
I saw a lot of dolphins, and there was even a sea turtle right next to me (laughs). The taro burger after swimming was also really delicious!!
I'm very satisfied!
とにかくスタッフの方がみんなノリが良くて、船の上がすごく楽しかったです♪
イルカもたくさん見れて、ウミガメなんてすぐ隣にいました(笑)泳ぎ終わった後の、タロイモバーガーもすごく美味しかったです!!
満足です(^O^)

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time riding a submarine.
First, we took a boat for about 5 to 10 minutes to reach the submarine, but even for someone like me who gets seasick easily, it was fine. There was so much to see that I didn't have time to feel sick! The beach viewed from the sea was very beautiful, and Diamond Head was truly impressive. Plus, we even saw a pod of dolphins!!! I boarded the submarine in a state of great excitement.
The guide was American, but he explained everything in very beautiful Japanese, so the audio guide was unnecessary. (He also made a lot of jokes, which were entertaining.) Of course, I was excited to see the fish and sea turtles, but I was particularly thrilled by the shipwrecks and airplanes.
I'm not sure if I will repeat this experience the next time I go to Hawaii, but I definitely recommend it to those who haven't tried it yet.
ハワイは3回目ですが、潜水艦に乗るのは今回が初めてでした。
まずは船で潜水艦まで5分~10分ぐらい?かけて行きますが、船酔いしやすい私でも大丈夫でした。
というのも、見るものが多すぎて酔っている場合じゃない!のです。
海側から見るビーチはとても美しく、ダイアモンドヘッドも大迫力でした。
しかも、イルカの群れまで!!!
大興奮のまま潜水艦に乗り込みました。
ガイドさんはアメリカの方でしたがとても綺麗な日本語で説明してくれたので、オーディオガイドは不要でした。
(ジョークも多く、面白かったです。)
魚やウミガメはもちろんですが、私は沈没船や飛行機にわくわくしました。
次にハワイに行った時、リピートするかはわかりませんが、未体験の方には是非おすすめです。
