Oahu
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I thought I couldn't miss this tour during this season, but the results far exceeded my expectations. Dolphins swam alongside the boat in a line, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly underwater. To top it all off, a whale surfaced in the distance and spouted water! Super lucky! The guide who spoke Japanese was really fun, and seeing Waikiki from the sea with the ocean breeze was the best.
初めてのハワイでしたがこの時期のこのツアーははずせないと思って参加しましたが結果はまさにはるかに期待を上回るのものでした。なんとイルカが列をなしてボートの横を泳ぎ、海中ではウミガメもしっかり見れて、最後にはなんとクジラさんが遠くに顔を出して潮をふいてくれました。超ラッキー!日本語のできるガイドさんは本当に楽しく海からみるワイキキも潮風も最高でした。
It was when I was about to give up. A whale jumped! I couldn't help but shout. Actually, I was so moved that I couldn't make a sound. After that, it seemed like it was a mother and baby whale, and we got to see the whale tail several times. My wife and I kept saying that we want to come back and see it again.
諦めかけた時でした。クジラがジャンプしたんです。叫んじゃいました。って言うか、感動して声が出ませんでした。その後も、親子連れのクジラだったらしく、ホエールテールも何度も見せてもらえました。妻ともまた、見にきたいね、ってずーっと言っていました。
The submarine itself was battery-operated and hardly made any noise, but due to considerable waves, nearly half of the participants got seasick, and as a result, I also felt a bit unwell and couldn't fully enjoy the underwater experience. I found it a bit unkind that the information didn't mention seasickness much. I would like to try again when the waves are calmer. The transportation and boarding process were very easy to understand.
潜水艦自体はバッテリー駆動で殆ど音が気にならなっかたが、かなりの波浪で参加者の半数近くが船酔いになり、その影響で自分も少し気分が悪くなり、じっくり海中を楽しめなかった。案内には船酔いのことが余り触れて無かったのが少し不親切かな?もう一度波の穏やかな時再度チャレンジしたい。送迎,搭乗とうに関しては、とてもわかりやすかった。
Before arriving at the site, there was a briefing on the bus, and of course, a Japanese staff member explained everything in Japanese while also pointing out famous spots along the way, which were very beautiful and really got me excited!
Since there were several groups, the time was divided, and we were scheduled for the last time slot. We had some time before swimming with the dolphins, so we explored the park and had lunch to pass the time.
When it was time to swim, it started to rain, so it was quite cold while swimming with the dolphins, but the experience was so amazing that it made me forget about the cold! The staff took photos, which we could purchase later, and they were all lovely, so I ended up buying them all (laughs).
The time spent swimming with the dolphins was short and flew by, but it was an incredible experience!
現場に着くまで、バスの中で事前に説明があるのですが、もちろん、日本人のスタッフが日本語で説明してくれる上に道中の有名なスポットも教えてくれるんですがその場所がとても綺麗でテンションが上がりました♪
数組の方々がいらっしゃったので時間が振り分けられて私たちは一番最後の時間帯でした。イルカと泳ぐまで時間があったのでその間にパーク内を見物してお昼を取って時間をつぶしました。
泳ぐ時間になったら雨が降り出したので、イルカと泳ぐ時はとても寒かったのですがそれを吹き飛ばすくらいイルカとの体験は素晴らしかったです!!!
スタッフが写真を撮ってくれているので後で購入することができるんですが、どれも素敵で全部購入してしまいました(笑)
イルカと泳いだ時間は短くあっという間でしたが、とても素晴らしい体験でした!
I am a frequent traveler to the Islands. I lived on Oahu for three years. The Navatek never fails!!!!! Again this year we were able to see the whales. 2 mating pods and a bonus of spinner dolphins entertaining us. If you want to see the whales the best time to go is early in the morning, on the Navatek, and before the end of March. I see them every year! :) Enjoy the pictures.
We saw whales within minutes and continued to see them throughout the cruise. Also, a giant green sea turtle.
I was half in doubt about whether I could really see whales, but I was able to see a mother and baby whale perfectly! The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, and the staff were cheerful and friendly, making conversation and being very kind. At the end, when I mentioned that my husband had forgotten his camera lens on the bus, they responded with great care and arranged to help us find it. I'm really glad I used this tour. My friend is traveling to Hawaii this summer, and I plan to recommend this tour as a reliable option. Thank you very much!
クジラ、本当に見ることが出来るのか、半信半疑でしたが、バッチリ親子クジラを見れました!そして、船は大きくて酔うこともなく、スタッフの方々は明るくて気さくに話しかけてきてくれて、とても親切でした。最後に行きのバスに主人がカメラのレンズを忘れてきてしまったのを伝えると親身に対応してくださり、ちゃんと手配して探してくださいました。このツアーを利用してよかったです。夏にお友達がハワイに旅行に行くのですが、ここのツアーは安心出来るとお勧めするつもりです。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 a comfortable journey on the ship.

There was supposed to be an explanation in Japanese, but it was only in English. The meal had seasonal fruits, but there was no tea. Overall, it was not good. I recommend the course without meals.
日本語の説明有りとあったが、英語のみだった。
食事は季節のフルーツ、紅茶もなかった。とりあえず、不味い。

Went out on the whale watch tour today and we saw 4 whales - 2 large whales together at first and then a mother and calf. They popped up several times during the cruise and saw their tails in the air a few times. They also came quite close to the ship at times. Recommended to do a whale watching tour. Our naturalist onboard (Dez) was knowledgeable about whales and their migration patterns. There is some periods throughout the cruise where you just have to be patient for 10-15 minutes at a time until they pop back up or another whale is spotted but it's worth the wait. The tour felt a little short as I wanted to see more however it was probably the right amount of time. The whales even waved goodbye as we headed off.
I was moved by how close I could see and swim with the dolphins, which was beyond comparison to regular dolphin watching! I'm so glad I participated; it was a great decision! Seeing wild dolphins spin around and come back was such a joy. They are so cute.
When we saw the dolphins, their group behavior was incredibly impressive and overwhelming.
- Even if you're anxious about swimming or snorkeling, it's okay! We weren't great swimmers, but they lent us floaties and the instructors provided support, so we felt safe. They also taught us about the dolphins' habits, points of interest, and precautions on the bus, making it easy for beginners. The instructors were incredibly quick at spotting the dolphins.
I did get seasick and had to step away for a bit, but I could still see the dolphins from the boat. It became a wonderful memory.
Also, the cheese and donuts we had as snacks along the way were delicious! Thank you for everything. I want to do this again when I go to Hawaii!
イルカウォッチングとは比較にならないほどの間近で、イルカが見れ一緒に泳げたことに感動しました!!!!
参加して良かったです!大正解!!野生のイルカがくるっとまわったり、途中で戻ってきたり、自然のイルカを見れて幸せです。かわいい。
イルカが見れた時、集団で行動しているので迫力満点で圧倒されます。
・泳ぎやシュノーケルに不安があっても大丈夫でした!!
私たちは泳ぎが苦手でしたが、浮輪貸していただいたりインストラクターの方がサポートしていただけたので安心です。またバスの中でイルカについて習性やポイント、注意点を色々教えて頂いたりするので、初心者でも大丈夫でした。
インストラクターの方がイルカを見つけるのが早いこと早いこと。
また船酔いで途中離脱してしまいましたが、船からもイルカが見えました。
いい思い出になりました。
あと途中のチーズとドーナツのおやつがおいしいww
色々とお世話になりました。
またハワイにいったらいきたいな~!!
This time, it was my first trip to Hawaii with a friend. While looking through the guidebook, I discovered a tour where you can swim with dolphins! Plus, it was on sale at Alan1.net, so I felt lucky.
The day before the tour, I called the dolphin center for a confirmation, and they informed me that due to fewer participants, the start time would be moved from 9 AM to 6 AM. With the 9 AM start, I was able to enjoy my afternoon since it would end around 3 PM, which was great. I was happy to make good use of my time.
In the morning, I got into the pickup car, and the lecture at the center began. Takao's lecture was very enjoyable and interesting. I was a bit nervous when they mentioned that the sea was rough in the morning and that the tour might be canceled, but thankfully, it went ahead as planned.
The seawater was cold that day, so I rented a wetsuit for $100. It was a nice wetsuit without any holes.
While searching for dolphins, I spotted a whale's spout in the distance. When we got a little closer, I was lucky enough to see the tails of a mother and baby whale several times.
Next, we discovered a pod of dolphins and entered the water to swim with them. It was a bit cold. I tried hard to kick my legs to get closer to the dolphins, but I couldn't get very close. Unfortunately, the water was murky due to the rough sea the day before, so the visibility wasn't great. I was disappointed because I had assumed Hawaii would always be beautiful.
Although I couldn't see the dolphins clearly, they appeared mystical like shadows. I was really glad to see them swimming on the surface and diving deep.
After that, we went snorkeling at a different spot. The visibility there was outstanding, and you could see all the way to the bottom, but there were no tropical fish at all. I didn't see any sea turtles either, but meeting the dolphins and whales made it a truly wonderful experience. I want to go back to Hawaii again to see the dolphins.
今回は、友達と2人で初めてのハワイ旅行でした。ガイドブックを見ているとなんとイルカと泳げるツアーを発見!しかもAlan1.netだとsaleで割引になっていてラッキーでした。
ツアー前日イルカ中学に事前確認の電話をすると明日は参加者が少ないので9時からが早朝の6時からになるとお知らせがありました。9時からだと午後3時ぐらいまでがお昼の12時ぐらいまでになったので午後からバッチリ遊べるのでラッキーでした。時間を有効に使えるのでうれしかったです。
朝迎えの車に乗り中学での講義が始まりました。タカオさんの講義はとっても楽しく面白かったです。朝、海が荒れてたみたいで中止になるかもしれないと言われとてもドキドキしましたが無事決行できました。
その日は海水は冷たかったので100ドルでウェットスーツを貸してもらいました。きれいなウエットスーツで穴などは空いてなかったです。
イルカを探してると遠方になんとクジラの潮吹きが見えました。もう少し近づいてもらうと親子のクジラのしっぽを何回も見ることができ、ラッキーでした。
次はイルカの群れを発見し一緒に泳ごうと海の中に入りました。ちょっと冷たかったです。イルカに近づこうと頑張ってバタ足したけどなかなか近づけなかったです。そして残念なことに前日海が荒れていたので濁って透明度が良くなかったです。ハワイはいつでもきれいと思い込んでいたのでがっかりでした。
イルカはしっかり見えなかったけど陰影みたいに見れて神秘的でした。
水面を泳いでる姿や深く潜っていく姿も見れて本当によかったです。
その後はシュノーケルを違うポイントにしに行きました。そこは透明度抜群で下の方まで透き通ってたのですが、熱帯魚は全くいなかったです。海ガメも見れなかったけど、イルカとクジラに会えたのでとっても素晴らしい体験になりました。またハワイに行った時はイルカに会いに行きたいです。
I was able to see parts of the whale multiple times, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the whole body. However, I guess that's just up to the whale's mood. On the ship, I enjoyed hula lessons and making leis until we reached the shore!
くじらのパーツパーツは何回も見れたけれど、体全体がみれなかったのが少し残念。でも、こればかりはくじらの機嫌次第なのでしょうがいない。
船内では、フラレッスンやレイ作りを岸に着くまで楽しめました♪
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. We are relieved to hear that you enjoyed the cruise. We hope that next time you will be able to see the whales clearly!

This is my second time participating, and it met my expectations. Taking photos is difficult without a high magnification telephoto lens, so I was moved by the photos taken by the accompanying photographer. The Japanese guide was also skilled and it was great.
二度目の参加ですが期待通り。写真撮影は相当な倍率の望遠が無いと難しいので同乗したカメラマンの写真を見て感動。日本語ガイドも上手で良かったです。
We had a wonderful time, but wish we had remembered sunscreen. Staff was very laid back but informative. We saw quite a few whales. Would definitely go again!
It was a calm and sunny day, with little movement on the water. Shortly after departure, within just five minutes, we encountered a mother and baby whale, and they swam alongside us for two hours. It seems that the law prohibits getting closer than 100 meters, so I couldn't take the photos I wanted with my iPhone lens. I recommend bringing a professional camera if you have one. If you have binoculars, you'll be able to see them in even more impressive detail.
穏やかに晴れた日で、揺れも少なかったです。
出港後、5分もしないうちに鯨の親子と遭遇、以降並走するように2時間ずっと一緒でした。
法律で100m以内に近づいていけないそうで、iPhoneのレンズでは思うような写真は撮れませんでしたので、本格的なカメラをお持ちの方は持参されることをお勧めします。
双眼鏡があればさらに迫力のある姿を見ることができると思います。
There were no Japanese staff, and I felt a bit of a sense of alienation or that I was falling behind because I couldn't catch some of the words. I'm relieved that I was able to see the whales. The boat might be a bit tough for those who are not strong.
日本語スタッフもいないしちょっと言葉が聞き取れずなにか疎外感というか遅れてる感がありました。クジラには会えてほっとしています。船は弱い人にはちょっと厳しいですかね。。

I went to Hawaii for the first time on my honeymoon. I wanted to do something that felt Hawaiian, so I chose this tour. The tour guide (being a dolphin enthusiast, he humorously called himself the class representative) was very friendly and had a great vibe, making the bus ride to our destination a lot of fun. Fortunately, the weather was clear, and we had great visibility. First, we encountered whales on the boat and were able to see them spouting water several times. We also spotted sea turtles popping their heads up to the surface. When we saw the dorsal fins of dolphins, we all jumped in at once. It was my first time snorkeling in deep water, and I was surprised by how big the waves were. However, I was thrilled to see dolphins swimming just below me! We were able to see them in relatively shallow water, and they were huge, which was so moving. To top it off, we even saw a baby dolphin swimming while nursing! This seemed to be quite a rare sighting, so we were lucky.
We then changed locations to see sea turtles and schools of fish. We were able to swim close to about four sea turtles together. When we fed the fish some cheese, they quickly gathered around us, which was adorable. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to touch any fish.
Being in the ocean was quite challenging, but I got to see so many amazing things, and we were even guided to a power spot, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour!
新婚旅行で初めてハワイに行きました。何かハワイらしいことをしたいと思ってこのツアーを選びました。ツアーの添乗員さん(イルカ中学なだけに肩書きは学級委員さん)はとっても気さくなノリの良い方で、行きのバスからとても楽しい時間でした。運よく晴れて視界も良好、まずはボート上でクジラと遭遇して潮吹きを数回みれました。ウミガメもちょくちょく顔を水面に出して来たのをみれました。イルカの背びれが水面に見えたのを確認してみんなで一斉に飛び込みました。深い海の中でシュノーケリングしたのは初めてでしたが、波がかなり大きくてびっくりしました。ですがイルカがすぐに下にいて興奮!しかも結構海の浅い所でみれたのでめちゃ大きくて感動しました。しかもおっぱいを飲みながら泳ぐ赤ちゃんイルカまで!!!これはかなり珍しいことだったようでラッキーでした。場所を変えて、ウミガメと魚の群れを見に行きました。ウミガメは4匹くらい一緒になっているところを近くで泳げました。魚にはチーズをやるとどんどん寄って来て可愛かったです。残念ながら私は魚を触れませんでした。
すごく海の中にいるのは大変でしたが、こんなにいろいろ見れて、しかもパワースポットまで案内してもらえてすごくいい体験をさせて頂きました。ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです!
I participated with my 2-year-old and 6-year-old. There were very few changing rooms, and there was only one restroom next door, so waiting in line was quite difficult. I wish there had been a little more time to interact with the dolphins. The other shows were also interesting.
子供2歳と6歳で参加しました。更衣室が数少なく、トイレは隣に1つしかなかったので、順番待ちが大変でした。
イルカと触れ合う時間、もう少しあってもよかったかな。
ほかのショーも面白かったです。
I wish can see more whales..Also I know,Breakfast.is cheap fee but hope change manufacturer items. No need sausages. Too greecy . Need more light manu.. pancake or some
This was my second time in Hawaii. The first time, I only did the typical sightseeing around Waikiki and shopping malls, so this time I really wanted to get on a boat and go out to sea. I applied for this tour that was looking for monitors and participated with a friend. There were no issues during the pickup, and on the way to the location, we listened to the tour guide's stories, and since it was early in the morning, we took a nap for the remaining time. On the bus, we were lucky enough to spot a whale! Once we arrived, it was cold, so we put on wetsuits. At that time, all participants paid an additional fee of $10 for the option. After heading out, we had a hard time encountering dolphins, but perhaps due to the season, we spotted several whales! Next, we went snorkeling and encountered a green sea turtle. It was so moving to swim together! After that, we looked for dolphins again but couldn't find any. However, I was very satisfied.
ハワイは二度目でした。一度目はワイキキ周辺やショッピングモールなどの定番観光で終わっていたため、今回はぜひ船に乗り海へ出たいと考えていました。そこで、モニター募集のあったこちらのツアーに応募し、参加させていただきました。友人と二人での参加です。ピックアップの際も問題なく、現地に着くまではツアーガイドの方のお話を聞き、残り時間は早朝だったため仮眠となりました。行きのバスの車中で、ラッキーな事にクジラを目撃することが出来ました!現地についてからは、寒さを感じるためウェットスーツを着用しました。その際、参加者皆さんがオプションで10ドルの追加料金を支払いました。沖に出てからは、イルカになかなか出会えず、しかしながら時期であったためか、クジラを何頭も目撃しました!次にスノーケリングをし、アオウミガメに遭遇しました。一緒に泳ぐ事が出来てとても感動しました!その後もう一度イルカを探しましたが見つからず。けれどもとても満足できました。
My husband and our 10-year-old child participated, while my daughter and I observed. I had the impression that the price was high, but since there were programs where you might not encounter dolphins, we decided on this program where we could definitely interact with them. There was an activity where the dolphins pushed the soles of our feet to help us stand. Both my husband and son were able to stand very well, and my son seemed extremely satisfied. It appeared to be quite difficult, as others participating in the program were not successful. For my dolphin-loving son, it turned out to be a fun and unforgettable experience.
夫と10才の子供が参加して、私と娘は見学でした。
料金が高いという印象はありますが、海に出るプログラムだとイルカにあえない事もあるようだったので、
確実にイルカとふれあえるこのプログラムに決めました。
2頭のイルカに足の裏を押してもらって、立つというのがありました。
夫も息子もとてもうまく立てていて、息子も大満足のようでした。
結構難しいようで、プログラムに参加していた他の方達は成功してませんでした。
イルカ好きの息子には楽しくて忘れられない経験になったようです。
Seeing dolphins up close like this was a first for me, and it's a memory that stands out from my trip to Hawaii. I participated with a friend, and there were others who came with friends, couples, and even some solo travelers. On the way to the ocean, it was raining, and I wasn't sure how things would turn out, but by the time we boarded the boat, the weather cleared up, and we were able to swim in the ocean under a blue sky. It was a bit chilly, so I wore a wetsuit, and I was glad I borrowed one.
After the boat set out, we heard there were dolphins, so we jumped into the water. When I looked down at the signal from the instructor, I was truly moved to see so many dolphins. I could even hear their sounds and saw baby dolphins as well. According to the instructor, there were more dolphins than usual in the past few days, and they were swimming close by, so I think it was a really good day for this experience. After that, we moved the boat a bit more and were able to see sea turtles too.
I was worried about seasickness, but none of the participants got sick. The instructor was also really entertaining. Thank you very much. I think this is a wonderful activity that offers a fantastic experience.
イルカをこんなにも身近に見たのは初めてで、ハワイ旅行の中でもとても印象に残る思い出です。
私は友人と2人で参加しました。他の方は友人同士やカップル、お一人で参加されている方もいました。当日、海に向かっているときは雨が降っており、どうなるのかわからないという感じでしたが、いざ船に乗るときは天気が回復し、青空の中海で泳ぐことができました。少し肌寒かったのでウェットスーツを着用しましたが、借りて良かったと思いました。
船が出て少しすると、イルカがいるということで、海に入り、先生の合図で下を見るとイルカがたくさんいて本当に感動しました。イルカの声を聞くこともでき、赤ちゃんイルカも見ることができました。先生いわく、ここ数日で一番イルカたちがたくさんいて、近くを泳いでいるということで、とても良い条件の日だったのだと思います。その後は、また船で少し移動しウミガメも見ることができました。
船酔いが心配でしたが、参加者の誰も船酔いになりませんでした。また、先生が本当に面白い方でした。ありがとうございました。素敵な体験ができるアクティビティだと思います。
We went on a cruise on a large ship from the morning. The scenery was absolutely amazing! The special feeling of being able to view the cityscape of Honolulu from the sea and the impressive sight of Diamond Head was fantastic. The ship was big, so I didn't get seasick at all. It had about three floors, and at first, everyone was seated, but once the ship started moving, we could move around freely. Everyone was out on the deck taking lots of photos.
The only disappointment was that we didn't see any whales... The captain and the crew were really persistent in searching with binoculars, but sometimes they just aren't around, even in winter. Since it's all about nature, there's nothing we can do. If you don't see any whales, you can apply for a free ticket to go on another cruise next time. I didn't take it due to my limited stay.
By the way, I opted for a plan that included breakfast, but it was just regular food. When asked if it was delicious... well, it was okay, I guess... However, since we had an early morning gathering, I decided to include it.
Anyway, I felt fully satisfied just thinking about going on a morning cruise!
大きな船に乗って朝からクルージング。とにかく景色が最高でした!海からホノルルの街並みを眺められる特別感、ダイアモンドヘッドを横切る迫力、とてもよかったです。船も大きいので、まず酔いません。3階くらいまであり、最初はみなさん席についていますが、ある程度船が動き出してしまえば、自由に移動。みなさん甲板に出て写真バチバチでした。
残念だったのは、クジラが見られなかったこと・・・。船長さん?や、船員さん達も双眼鏡でかなり粘ってさがしてくれましたが・・・。冬でも見られない時があるのですね。自然が相手のお話なので、しかたありません。見られなかった場合は、また次回クルージングできる無料券を申し込めば貰えます。私は滞在日数の関係上、もらいませんでした。
ちなみに朝食を付けたプランにしたのですが、まぁ普通のごはんです。おいしいか・・・と言われると、う~ん、そこまでか・・も・・・。ただ早朝の集合でしたので、つけました。
ともあれ、朝、クルージングに行ってきた!と思えば、充分満足です。
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. Even with good weather, there are times when whales cannot be seen. If you have the opportunity to board again next time, I hope you will be able to see whales.

On the day of the trip, it was raining and the sea was rough. My younger child quickly got seasick and slept inside the boat the whole time. However, quite a few other people also got seasick. During the two-hour trip, we only saw whales for about 10 minutes, but we were able to see them up close several times, which was nice. The best part was when my older child was looking at the sea from the deck on the opposite side of the boat and said they were happy to have seen dolphins.
I think it would have been fine without the meal. I felt that dining on the boat is not something I would want to do for a while.
当日は雨で海は荒れていました。下の子はすぐに船酔いになりずっと船内で寝ていました。ただ、他の人達も結構の数の人が船酔いになっていました。2時間のうちでクジラを見れたのは10分程度でしたが、近くで何回も見れたのでよかったです。一番よかったのは、上の子がクジラと反対側のデッキで海を眺めていたらイルカを見れたと言って喜んでいたことです。
なお食事は無くてもよかったと思うレベルです。船上での食事は当分いいと思いました。

During my three-night stay, the weather was unstable, but on the morning of January 31, it was sunny, and I was able to see mother and baby whales jumping relatively close by. The staff member, who was a white person fluent in Japanese, provided a detailed explanation, and the atmosphere was very friendly, making it an enjoyable experience.

I thought the whale was smaller than expected, but the guide informed me that it was a baby whale. The jumps are brief, so it's easy to miss them, but that's just the nature of wild animals, so there's nothing that can be done about it. Due to our circumstances, I had to change the schedule over the phone on the day of the tour, but I was very grateful for the quick response in Japanese.
おもったより小さいクジラだなと思ったら、
ガイドさんが子供のクジラだと教えてくれました。
ジャンプするのも一瞬なので見落としがちですが、こればっかりは自然の動物の動きなので仕方がありませんね。
当方の都合で当日に電話で日程を変更してもらったりしましたが、日本語で迅速な対応していただき
とても助かりました。
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but we were able to see many fish, sharks, and sea turtles. I think the water clarity would be even better on a sunny day.
What was lucky was that we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat on the way to the submarine.
Additionally, the guide's Japanese was very good and impressive. Above all, riding a submarine is a unique experience, and I believe this is a wonderful tour that allows people of all ages to enjoy water leisure in Hawaii. I especially recommend it for small children and elderly people who do not dive or snorkel.
残念ながらお天気が良くはなかったのですが、
たくさんのお魚やサメ、ウミガメも見られました。
天気がよいときっともっと水の透明度もいいのかな と思います。
ラッキーだったのは、潜水艦に行くまでのボートからイルカの群れが見えた事。
あとはガイドの方の日本語もとても上手で素晴らしかったです。
なにより潜水艦に乗るなんてなかなか無い体験ですし、
せっかくのハワイで年齢に関わらずウォーターレジャーを楽しめるとても良いツアーだと思います。
特にダイビングやシュノーケルをしない 小さなお子さんやご年配の方に是非オススメです。
Unfortunately, it was raining.
But we were able to see a whale.
I thought it was smaller than expected, and the guide told us it was a baby whale.
The guide also talked about the whale's ecosystem and various other things, which was educational.
Before boarding the boat, we had our picture taken. I don't remember the price, but it turned out quite well, so I decided to purchase it.
残念ながら、雨だったんです。
でもクジラは見えました。
思ったよりも小さいなと思っていたら、ガイドさんが子供のクジラだと教えてくれました。
その他にもガイドさんはクジラの生態系やいろいろな事をお話してくれて勉強にもなりました。
船に乗り込む前に写真をとって貰い、値段は覚えていませんが、なかなかよく取れていて購入しました。
we took the morning cruise and did not see any whales. but, Navatek was true to their word - they gave us a second cruise. On the 2nd cruise, we saw 9 breach's. A great cruise and we are a returning customer. At we will be back again at some point in the future!
