At first, the children were happy to be on the boat, but perhaps due to bad luck, even though the weather was nice, we couldn't see anything. They provided trivia about whales over the intercom, but everyone around seemed a bit deflated since we didn't see anything. I'll just chalk it up to bad luck.
最初は船に乗れて子供も喜んでいましたが、運が悪かったのかて天気も良かったけれども何も見れませんでした。クジラのトリビアなどを船内放送で教えてくれるのですが、何も見れなかった事に対して周りもしらけ気味。運が悪かったと思っておきます

(I fully understand that we are dealing with wild animals.)
Unfortunately, it seemed like the dolphins were on strike that day, as we cruised for over two hours without encountering a single one.
The spotted dolphin we finally managed to find swam by so quickly that it was gone in an instant.
Perhaps because we spent so much time searching for dolphins, our snorkeling with Professor Honu lasted only about 20 minutes.
I went to the office later to pick up my graduation souvenir, but since some people might be leaving the next day, it would be appreciated if it could be given to participants at that time.
The spam rice ball was delicious.
(野生動物が相手だということは重々承知しています。)
この日はあいにくイルカ先生のストライキのようで、2時間以上クルージングしたと思いますが1頭も出会えませんでした。
やっとのことで探せたマダライルカは、泳ぐスピードが速すぎて一瞬で過ぎ去りました。
ドルフィン探しに時間を費やしたためか、ホヌ教授とのシュノーケリングは20分程度でした。
後日オフィスに卒業記念品を受け取りに行きましたが、翌日が帰国日という人もいると思いますので、参加した時に頂ける方がありがたいです。
スパムおむすびは美味しかったです。
Thank you for participating. Unfortunately, we were unable to encounter dolphins this time, but please do come back and challenge yourself to retry next time! Mahalo.

Sunken ships have become artificial reefs, and there were a lot of fish. Unfortunately, it was disappointing that the colors were not visible, possibly due to the lack of light. I saw a turtle, and before getting on the submarine, I was able to see a whale.

At first, I was disappointed because I couldn't see any whales on the day I had reserved, but I was able to get another boarding ticket. And on the second try! I saw them! I was really lucky since I had a free day! After we spotted the whales, the captain quickly moved to a spot where we could see them well, which made it very easy to view! I was so moved! Thank you! Since it was a large cruise ship, I didn't experience any seasickness. By the way, the shuttle bus fee of $15 is self-funded. We used THEBUS.
最初、予約していた日には鯨は見れず落胆していましたが、再度乗船チケットを発券してもらいました。で、2回目!見れました!予定が無い日があったので本当にラッキーでした!鯨発見後は、キャプテンが鯨がよく見えるスポットに素早く移動していただいたいおかげで、とても見やすかったです!感動しました!ありがとうございましたら!大型客船の為、船酔いも無しでした。因みに送迎バス代15ドルは自己負担です。私達はTHEBUS利用しました。

Since it was my first time participating, I joined with excitement about how it would be. It was winter in Hawaii, so the wind was cold and chilly. When we spotted dolphins from the boat, everyone jumped in at once, pointing out where to look, and we were able to see many dolphins. I saw dolphins in the distance, but my family seemed to have dolphins swimming right underneath them. After that, we also encountered sea turtles. I was happy to feel the staff's strong desire to ensure we met the dolphins. Additionally, they kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, which is a great memory. Next time, I want to go during a warmer season.
初めての参加だったのでどんな風に見るのかワクワクしながら参加しました。
ハワイの冬という時期だったので風が冷たく寒かったーー。
船上でイルカを見つけると皆さん一斉に飛込み、見る方向を教えてくれ、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
私は遠くにイルカを見ましたが家族は真下をイルカが通ったようです。
そのあとはウミガメにも遭遇しました。
スタッフの方が絶対にイルカに会わせてあげようという気持ちが伝わってきて嬉しく思いました。また、船上で飽きないように盛り上げてくれたのもいい思い出です。今度は暖かい時期に行きたいな。

After the first day of the Star Cruise in Hawaii, on the second day, we went whale watching on the Majestic. The boat is smaller than the Star Cruise, but because there were fewer people and it was smaller, moving around was smooth when whales appeared on the right or left. The staff's service was average, but they were very friendly.
We had a shuttle from the hotel, but since it was close to Kaka'ako, after the tour, we used Uber instead of taking the bus for a smooth transition and explored the art scene. This is an event I would like to attend again when I come back to Hawaii.
ハワイで1日目のスタークルーズに続き、2日目はマジェスティック号でのホエールウオッチングに行きました。
スタークルーズより船は小ぶりですが、クジラが右に見えたり左な見えたりする時、人が少ないのと小さいことで、移動がスムーズでした。
スタッフの対応も普通といえば普通ですが、とてもフレンドリー。
ホテルからの送迎でしたが、カカアコにも近いので、終わった後はバスに乗らず、Uberを使いスムーズに移動し、アートの散策をして来ました。

Whales...
It was an afternoon plan.
About ten minutes after departure, we saw a whale breaching, and after that, we spotted several blows, with a baby whale coming to play right next to the boat.
It was a unique experience thanks to the catamaran with a deck.

Shortly after setting sail, we were able to see two shadows, and the journey continued alongside a mother and her calf. It was a tour where we shared the excitement with the crew while watching their backs, dorsal fins, and occasionally seeing them spout water.
The crew and captain's announcements were in English, but perhaps because there were many Japanese participants, they used simple words. We were also able to view specimens of vertebrae and some simple research materials, and they provided explanations while we looked at them.
Although the weather in the Waikiki area was unfortunate, we were not caught in the rain while at sea and were able to enjoy a relaxing time while watching a beautiful rainbow.

I participated based on the information that whales are still migrating in March. But in the end, it was just a brief glimpse of something far away, and I couldn't tell if it was really a whale or not. We weren't given any re-boarding tickets either. Hmm, is this how it usually is...? I've heard rumors that they haven't been seen at all for the past two weeks. I wish they had canceled it then... The wind was also too strong, and it wasn't pleasant at all. I won't be doing this again!
3月は鯨がまだ回遊しているという情報をもとに参加。 でも結局ほんとに遠くにチラッと見えたか見えないかで終了。 再乗船券も配られず。う〜ん こんなもんなんですかねぇ〜。。。 風の噂にここ2週間ぐらい全然見えないと言う事。 なら中止して欲しかった。。。 風もあまりに強く気持ちよかったわけでもなく。 再度はないですね!

Overall, it was a fun experience, the weather was great, and all the staff were nice. The photographer was very enthusiastic and took a lot of photos, which made me happy. However, I had thought that we would be able to dive and swim alongside the dolphins as shown in the tour photos. I was told on the bus heading to the boat that we should not dive when we see the dolphins and should only look at them with our faces in the water. This was a bit different from what I had imagined.
I did get to see the dolphins, and I understand that it’s a good rule to avoid stressing them out, but I wish that this was explained in more detail in the tour description.
全体的に楽しく、天気にも恵まれ、スタッフの方も皆さんいい人でカメラマンさんもテンション高くいっぱい写真撮ってくれて嬉しかったです。
ただ、このツアーの写真で乗っているように潜って並んで泳げると思っていたので、船に向かうバスの中でイルカを見るときは潜らないでください。顔をつけて見るだけにしてください。と言われて想像と少し違いました。

So it all started with a super welcoming crew. The captain and both the deckhands were extremely courteous and expressed the spirit of Aloha in welcoming us aboard! Next came an explanation of what the trip would consist of, and I was like, oh yeah, this is gonna be a hoot and a half. Then we were underway on Diesel engines that sounded like the sweet purr of freedom you could only get on the open ocean. We headed out to the turtle cleaning reef, and we were not disappointed. They promised a great snorkel experience and they delivered! We jumped in the water after the best explanation of our safety and snorkel equipment and were immediately greeted by the ocean wildlife! Turtle the size of Kia souls cut in half with flippers! It was incredible. After we had our feel of the little mermaid experience, it was back to the boat where we were served libations by barista/deckhand that could rival those of a well seasoned bar! Drinks were flowing like the rays of sunshine beating down on us. We dropped sail, and cruises on the wind like seagulls on the breeze. It was a glorious experience that I will remember for years to come. When all was said and down, the sails returned to their stowed position, we sailed back to shore on those sweet Diesel engines and touched down gently on the sands of Waikiki. Your crew and company will hold a special place in our hearts as we carry the memories of good times with us. We found our beach!

We participated in the Mini Dolphin Encounter with my 6-year-old child and my husband. I was prepared for the English explanation after seeing other people's comments, but perhaps due to the rainy season and the chilly weather, there were only the three of us. At the reception, they asked if we preferred the explanation in English or Japanese, and to my pleasant surprise, we received the entire explanation in Japanese (there was a trainer who spoke Japanese). Thanks to the kind trainer, my child was initially scared but ended up enjoying it, and I was glad we participated. Even though I didn't join in, I was very satisfied because I could watch closely from the side of the lagoon!

On February 9th, our family of seven participated. We chose the option with transportation, and the pickup was smooth. Upon arrival, we boarded the boat and immediately had breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, sausages, bread, watermelon, pineapple, and drinks of coffee and orange juice—please refer to the photos. After breakfast, we enjoyed about an hour and a half of cruising. The weather was great that day, and we had a wonderful view of the streets of Hawaii and Diamond Head. As for the whales, we saw them very well. At first, there was one, and later on, two came to visit us, and we could see their tails clearly. I believe everyone who participated that day had the best smiles. I read in other reviews that some people experienced seasickness, but since it’s nature, I think it can’t be helped. We were lucky to have a calm sea cruise under clear skies, so we didn’t get seasick. This event was suggested by my wife, and I truly think it was a great decision to go. Thank you very much to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience and memories of our trip.
2月9日に家族7名で参加しました。送迎付きを選択しましたが、スムーズにピックアップしてもらいました。到着し船に乗りすぐに朝食でしたが、スクランブルエッグ、ウィンナー、パン、スイカやパイナップル、飲み物はコーヒーとオレンジジュースで、写真を参考にして下さい。朝食後、約一時間半のクルージングでしたが、当日は天気も良く、ハワイの街並み、ダイアモンドヘッドも良く見え素晴らしいものでした。あと、肝心のクジラですが、本当に良く見えました。最初は一頭、最後の方には二頭がやって来てくれ、いずれも尻尾が良く見え、当日、参加した人全員が最高の笑顔だったと思います。他の人の口コミで船酔いをしたとの書き込みがありましたが、自然相手のことですので仕方ないのではないかと思います。私達は晴天の中で静かな海のクルージングでしたので、船酔いをしなかったのは、本当に幸運でした。今回のイベントは妻の提案で行くことになりましたが、行って本当に良かったと思います。スタッフの皆さん、旅の思い出として、とても良い経験をさせていただき本当にありがとうございました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching without any seasickness. Please do come back with your family. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you again.

I took this tour in March as I wanted to find a tour that would take me snorkeling but not spend a half a day or more doing so. This boat trip was perfect! The catamaran took us just a short ride to swim with turtles. We saw 4 turtles and were able to get super close! Then we took the boat around and saw a TON of dolphins. The crew was awesome and this tour is great if you want a little bit of everything in just 2 hours. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it!

I actually wanted to go to Maui, but since I didn't have the time or money, I looked for tours on Oahu. I chose this tour on a whim, thinking that a smaller boat might allow for closer views than a larger one. Plus, it was a bit pricey for a morning tour to ensure I could board again if I didn't see anything. The hotel pickup was on time. I was unsure whether to wear flip-flops or shoes, but since I could leave my shoes before boarding, either option worked.
I thought we would go further out, but we only went to a point where we could see the hotels along Waikiki Beach, heading towards Diamond Head. After a while, I spotted the dorsal fin of a baby whale in the distance, and I was thrilled to see it raise its tail and dive! We stopped there and waited for it to resurface, but it never showed itself again.
We went a bit further but still didn't see any more whales, so we turned around to head back. On the way there and back, we saw a pod of dolphins swimming close enough to capture on camera. However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see more whales. I wondered if the larger, famous boat we passed had gone further or if the afternoon tour would have been better. I can't say for sure if my choice was the right one.
I want to feel satisfied that I saw at least one whale, but I can't shake the feeling that if we had gone further, we might have seen more. So, that's why I gave this rating. Well, I guess it's just the nature of wildlife (laughs).
本当はマウイに行きたかったけれど時間もお金も無いのでオアフ島でツアー探しました。
大きな船よりは小さいほうが至近距離で見れることもあるかと一か八かこのツアーにしました。
しかも見れなかった時に最乗船出来るように少々高い午前中のツアー。
ホテルへのお迎えも時間どおり。
ビーサンで行くか靴で行くか迷ったけど靴は乗船前に預かってもらえたからどちらでも。
もっと沖に行くのかと思いきや、ワイキキビーチのホテル群が見えるくらいの所をダイヤモンドヘッド方向に。
しばらくしたらやや遠くに子クジラの背鰭が見えて尾びれを上げて潜る所は見れて大興奮!
そこで停船し再浮上待つもその後姿を見せることはなく。
また少し先に行くも再びクジラを見ることはなく方向転換して帰路へ。
行きと帰りにイルカの群れが至近距離を泳ぐ姿はカメラにも納められるくらいの時間で見れました。
が、もうちょっとクジラを見れてれば、と思ってたので少しがっかり。
すれ違った大型の有名な船はもっと先まで行っていたのであちらのが良かったのか、はたまた午後のが良かったのか、と色々後悔とまではいかないけれど自分の選択が正解かどうかがわからない。
クジラが一回でも見れたから良しとしたいところですがあの一回が無ければもっと先に探しに行って貰えてもっと見れたのでは、などとのもやもやは消えず。なのでこの評価です。
まあ生き物なので仕方ないかな(笑)
