It's healing☆
癒される☆
Posted on: 2011/05/03

One of my daughter's requests for this trip to Hawaii was to kiss a dolphin! We participated in a tour that made this dream come true. Since I was pregnant, I couldn't join in, so I took on the role of photographer by the poolside. However, the photos taken by the staff there turned out much nicer, so I recommend purchasing them as a keepsake.

Currently, there's a campaign where if you buy photos, you receive a DVD, so I made sure to get that as well. It was great!

As for my daughter, she was a bit nervous seeing the dolphins up close, but it turned into a wonderful memory. Once she gets a little older, I would love for her to participate in a program where she can play with the dolphins!

今回のハワイ旅行の娘のリクエストの一つ。イルカさんにキスしたい!!という夢を叶える事ができるツアーということで参加させていただきました。
私は妊娠中という事で参加はできなかったのでプールサイドで撮影係に徹していたのですが、現地で撮影していただいた物のほうが綺麗に撮れていましたので思い出に購入をお勧めします。
今キャンペーン中で写真を購入するとDVDを頂けるとという事でしっかりもらってきました。よかったですよ。

肝心の娘は間近で見るイルカにかたまり 緊張したようですがいい思い出ができました。
もう少し大きくなったら今度はイルカと遊べるプログラムのほうにも参加してみたいです!

I happened to sign up for the tour during the season when whales can be seen. Also, I thought that even if I couldn't see any whales, just being able to see Waikiki from the sea would be good enough, so I signed up with a light heart.

As a result, it was really great.
1. I was able to see the blue whales multiple times.
2. The food was much more delicious than what I had during the magic show, and even when the whales appeared, I was watching from the dining area while eating.
3. My wife usually gets seasick within an hour, but she didn't feel the engine's vibrations and was surprised by how little the boat rocked.
4. While Diamond Head is a great way to get a view of Waikiki, from the sea, we could see all the way to downtown.
5. I experienced my first ukulele class with Americans, Spaniards, and Hawaiians, which was an unexpected experience. It was also fun to see a white girl enjoying hula dance with sparkling eyes.

たまたま鯨が見れるシーズンだったのでツワーに申込ました。また、鯨が見れなくても海上からワイキキが見れれば、それだけでも良いと軽い気持ちで申込ました。
結果として、すごく良かったです。
1.シロナガス鯨を何度も見ることが出来ました。
2.マジックショー等で食べた食事より数段美味しい料理  で、鯨が現れても食事をしながら食堂から見てました。
3.1時間もすれば船酔いする妻ですが、エンジンの振動も 感じられず、揺れの少なさにもびっくりです。
4.ワイキキを一望する方法としてダイヤモンドヘッドもい いですが、海上からだとダウンタウンまで一望できまし  た。
5.アメリカ人、スペイン人、ハワイアンの人達と初めての ウクレレ教室を体験し、予定外の体験をすることができま した。白人の女の子が目を輝かせながらフラダンスに興じ ているのを見るのも楽しかったです。

Thank you very much for your many comments. We are very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time. The humpback whale visits the waters around Hawaii, but it's amazing that the blue whale also appeared. You must have had great weather and an enjoyable cruising experience. Thank you for boarding with us this time.

Posted on: 2011/04/17

I participated for the first time in late March, as I visit the Hawaiian Islands every year between December and April for child-rearing. We had the option to choose between two sizes of cruising boats, and after some hesitation, I decided to go with the smaller boat that seemed more maneuverable.

"Bingo!" On that day, we were able to see a mother humpback whale and her calf up close, which was truly moving. It seemed we were very lucky.

The breakfast included was disappointing, but since the whales were the main attraction, I guess it was acceptable?

毎年12月~4月の間に 子育てのためハワイ諸島近海を訪れるという事で初めて(3月下旬)参加しました。クルージング船が大小2種類のうちの選択でしたが、迷ったあげく、小回りの利きそうな双同船を選ぶことにしました。
「ビンゴ!」私たちは当日、ザトウクジラの親子を目の当たりに見ることができ、感動致しました。とてもラッキーだったようです。
朝食付きの「朝食」は期待外れでしたが、でもクジラがメインでしたのでよしとするかな?

I previously experienced dolphin watching in Guam, but this time it was whale watching. I was told that the chances of seeing them were fifty-fifty, but I was able to see them multiple times. The boat didn't rock much, and I didn't get seasick. It was comfortable!!

いるかウォッチングは以前、グアムで経験しましたが、今回はクジラ。会えるかどうかは五分五分といわれましたが、何回も見ることができました。
船もあまり揺れず、船酔いもなし。快適でした!!

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>
Submarine experience. It was easy to understand in Japanese.
サブマリン体験談。日本語でわかりやすかったです。
Posted on: 2011/04/06

It was a trip to Hawaii for me, my son, and my 75-year-old mother. However, since my mother's legs were not in good condition before departure, my son and I participated in optional activities separately from her. She joined the submarine tour alone.

The transportation service was said to be kind and attentive. Since the explanation was in Japanese, it was easy to understand and enjoy. She was able to see turtles and many fish swimming.

Additionally, she noticed that Cessnas and boats were intentionally sunk in the fish tanks, where divers were seen diving. For small children, elderly people, or those who want to avoid getting sunburned at the sea, I recommend the submarine and similar activities. Since it's Hawaii, please make sure to see the fish swimming.

Those who have experienced snorkeling or sea walking might find it a bit lacking.

私と息子、母の三人のハワイ旅行でしたが、75歳の母の脚の具合が出発前から、良くなかったので、私と息子、母とオプショナルを分けて参加しました。サブマリンは母が一人で参加。
送迎も親切で丁寧だったそうです。
日本語説明の時間帯だったので、わかりやすく楽しむことができました。亀や多くの魚が泳ぐ姿が見えたそうです。
また、セスナや船が魚たちの魚槽に、意図的に沈めてありダイバーたちが潜っているのも見えたそうです。
小さな子供やお年寄りの方、海で日に焼けたくない方は、潜水艦などがおすすめです。せっかくのハワイなので、是非、魚たちの泳ぐ姿を見てください。
シュノーケリングやシーウオークを体験された方は、少し物足りないかもしれません。

Since the water is cold, take measures against the cold.
水が冷たいので寒さ対策を
Posted on: 2011/03/29

We participated in late March with three generations of our family. This is a unique experience that I can recommend to anyone who loves dolphins. The hotel shuttle service was smooth, and there were explanations in Japanese at the site, so there were no issues. However, during the actual dolphin session, only English was used. But I think it’s manageable since they communicate with gestures.

We joined the second session in the morning (11:00), but the water felt cold. It would be good to have a rash guard, and many children were shivering, so if you have someone who gets cold easily, bringing a long-sleeved jacket would be convenient to warm up after the session.

The facility is not large, so even small children can enjoy it. Everyone wears life jackets that fit their size, which is reassuring. However, children who are not used to seawater or dislike getting water on their faces may get upset and not enjoy the experience.

If there are observers, it’s possible to take photos from a distance. Our family had someone taking pictures, and they managed to capture some shots with a small digital camera at maximum zoom. There are also photos and DVDs available for purchase taken by the park's photographers. Honestly, they were very well taken, so I bought some, although not all. I also purchased one DVD and plan to make copies for our family.

3月下旬に親子三世代で参加しました。
こんな体験、なかなかできないのでイルカが好きな方にはオススメできます。
ホテルからの送迎も問題なくおこなわれ、現地でも日本語での説明がありましたので困ることはありませんでしたが、実際のイルカとのセッション中では英語のみです。でも身振り手振りで教えているので問題ないと思います。

午前中、2回目(11:00)に参加しましたが、水は冷たく感じました。ラッシュガードがあると良いですし、子供は震える子が沢山いたので、冷え性の方を含めて長袖の上着も持参された方が終わった後、しばらくは体を温められるので便利です。

大きな施設ではないので、小さなお子さんでも楽しめます。全員がサイズに合ったライフジャケットを着用するので安心です。ただ、海水に慣れていなかったり、顔に水がかかると嫌がるお子さんはぐずったりして参加しても楽しめないかもしれません。

見学する方がいれば遠くから写真を撮ることは可能です。我が家でも見学者が撮影していましたが、小型のデジカメで一番ズームをした状態でなんとか撮影できました。
パークのカメラマンが撮影してくれる写真とDVDが販売されています。正直、すごくよく撮れているので全部ではありませんでしたが購入しました。DVDも1枚購入し、参加家族内でコピーしようとおもっています。

It was fun.
結果楽しかった
Posted on: 2011/03/20

We participated as a couple.
It was the rainy season, but we were blessed with clear skies, making it a great day for a cruise!

About 80% of the participants were Japanese, and 20% were from Western countries.

We took a bus to the boat, and after getting off, we were guided by the staff to our seats, so being towards the front allowed us to sit by the window.

The air conditioning on the boat was the strongest I experienced during my time in Hawaii, so it would have been nice to have something to wrap around me. However, you can help yourself to warm drinks.

Seeing whales depends on luck, but we were able to see them from a distance. Having seen them up close before, I wished we could have seen them a bit closer this time. But it was still exciting!

The meal was a buffet, and everything was delicious. However, the desserts were quite sweet, so I left some behind.

After the meal, we experienced making a lei. I had never done it before, so it was fun! You can take it home with you. The cost is included in the tour.

This was more than just whale watching; it was a really great cruise experience!

夫婦で参加しました。
雨季の時期でしたが快晴に恵まれ、クルーズをするにはとてもいい日でした!

参加者は日本人8割、欧米人2割といった感じです。

バスで船まで向かうのですが、バスを降りてからスタッフに連れられ船に向かうとそのまま順番に席に案内されるので、前のほうにいたおかげで窓側に座ることができました。

船内はハワイで過ごした中で1番冷房が効いていたので、はおるものがあればいいかなと。でも温かい飲み物をセルフで飲めます。

クジラはその日の運ですが、遠くで見ることができました。以前に近くで見たことがあるだけに、もう少し近くで見たかったです。でもやっぱり興奮します!

食事はバイキングで、どれもおいしかったです。ただスイーツはかなり甘いので、残してしまいました。

食事の後にレイの花輪づくりを体験しました。経験したことがなかったので、楽しかったです♪そのまま持ち帰れます。金額はツアーに入ってます。

今回はホエールウォッチングとしてより、クルーズとしてはすごくよかったです!

Within five minutes of departing, a whale appeared, and we were all so excited! At first, we could only see it from a distance, but eventually, the whale came closer, and cheers erupted all around the boat. It's also reasonably priced, so I highly recommend it!

出港して5分もしないうちにクジラが現れ、大興奮!

We participated with 10 family members and friends.
We were able to see whales, of course!
The staff promptly informed us when the whales appeared.

There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, so they provided interesting and easy-to-understand explanations in Japanese.

In addition to the whales, our family participated in a hula dance lesson, which was a lot of fun.
I also joined a ukulele lesson with my friends.

Additionally, they provided live music, which kept things engaging.

The food was better than I expected.

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]
Great Time!
Posted on: 2011/03/14

We went with a group of friends this past Saturday on the Early Bird cruise and it was fabulous! We saw whales pretty much the moment we left the harbor and we got lots of pictures. It wasn't too crowded at all. The ship is very nice, very well maintained and clean. The crew was very friendly and helpful.

I recommend motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. I am, and even though I took it beforehand I still got seasick.

We saw a pod of three whales, dolphins, and albatross. A very neat experience for us and the kids.

Dolphin BOY and a kiss!
イルカのBOYとチュッ!
Posted on: 2011/03/10

I finally got to meet the dolphins I had been dreaming about! I learned how to train them and took on the challenge. Amazing! Dolphins are so smart!

Even though I was just an amateur customer giving instructions, they followed along perfectly, and I was really impressed!

However, I almost missed out on the experience. I got passed over and had to protest in broken English to the white instructor before I could finally interact with them. It felt like I was being blamed for something, which was quite unpleasant.

All the explanations were in fast English, and she didn’t speak a word of broken Japanese. I managed to understand, but it was frustrating... Even though this is a tourist spot in Hawaii, I didn’t appreciate her refusal to use any Japanese. She didn’t smile at all.

I’m sure there are good instructors out there, but...

The staff's response rating is ☆☆ because of this experience.

In contrast, the Japanese female staff were extremely kind and saved the day.

It was mentioned that it’s better not to bring extra money, but they sell photos of you interacting with the dolphins for $16 each, so I recommend bringing some cash for that. The photos turn out so beautifully that you’ll want to buy them. You can take three poses per person. There are lockers available, but the showers are just old-fashioned water showers.

夢みていたイルカとご対面。調教の仕方を教わり、チャレンジ。凄い!イルカって頭がいいなぁ~
素人の客の指示なのに、ちゃんと動いてくれて感激!

でも、危うくやらせてもらえないところでした。抜かされてしまい、白人のインストラクターに拙い英語で抗議して、やっと触れ合うことができました。何だか私が悪いみたいな顔をされて、不愉快でした。
説明は全て早い英語で、片言の日本語も話しません。何とか理解したので良かったですが・・・ハワイの観光場所なのに、日本語を一切拒否するような彼女には好感がもてませんでした。笑顔がない人でした。
良いインストラクターもいるのでしょうが・・・

スタッフの対応評価が、☆☆ なのは、そのためです。

それに引き換え、日本人の女性スタッフは非常に親切で救われました。

余分なお金は持っていかない方が良いと書いてありましたが、イルカと触れ合っている写真が1枚16ドルで販売するので、その分も持って行くことをお勧めします。余りにも綺麗に撮れているので買いたくなりますよ。一人3ポーズあります。  一応、ロッカーはあります。 シャワーは、旧式の水シャワーのみです。

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 <送迎可>
There are days like this...
こんな日もあるさ・・・
Posted on: 2011/03/07

We gathered locally and took the bus. We went from the hotel to Ala Moana Center, transferred to bus number 52, and I made sure to tell the driver "Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor" to confirm where to get off, arriving just in time for our meeting. We waited quite a while for the bus at Ala Moana Center. There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us, and everyone else on the boat was foreign, making it quite international. As I saw on Alan Net, we were handed a file with notes written in Japanese, but all the explanations were in English. However, they demonstrated how to enter the water with gestures, so if you watch, you can manage. We moved out to sea for about 10 to 15 minutes, and the waves were quite rough. I get motion sickness easily, and even though I took motion sickness medicine, I still felt quite nauseous. We entered the cage four at a time. I was really looking forward to it, so even though I felt unwell, I stayed underwater longer than others, hoping to finally see a shark. Unfortunately, while there were a few small fish nearby, I only caught a glimpse of a small baby shark passing by far below, and I hardly saw any sharks at all, so I ended up getting a sticker and a refund... But the staff were very nice, so I definitely plan to try again next time. On the way back, we strolled around Haleiwa before heading home.

私達は、現地集合にしてバスで行きました。
ホテルから、アラモアナセンターまで行き、乗り換えて52番のバスに乗り、一応運転手に”ハレイワ・スモールボートハーバー”と伝えて降りる場所を教えてももらって無事集合時間ギリギリに到着しました。
アラモアナセンターからバス来るまで結構待ちました。
私達以外の日本人は1組だけで、他は皆船は外国人で国際豊かでした。
アランネットで見たとおり、注意事項など日本語で書かれたファイルを渡されるくらいで説明は全部英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで海への入り方を説明されるので、見てればなんとかなります。
沖まで10分~15分位まで移動し、波も中々の揺れで、乗り物に弱い私は酔い止め飲んでも結構酔いました。
檻の中には4人づつ入りました。
楽しみにしていたので、具合悪い中でも念願のサメに会えると張り切って人より長く海にもぐってましたが、何匹か小魚は近くにいたものの、残念ながらサメはかなり深く遠くの下の方に小さく子サメ?が通り過ぎただけでほとんど見れず、ステッカーをもらって返金になりました・・・
でもスタッフの方々はとてもいい人たちだったので、また次回、絶対挑戦しようと思ってます。
帰りはハレイワを散策してから帰りました。

Posted on: 2011/03/06

Swimming while holding onto a dolphin was amazing, and my wife was thrilled! If I could wish for anything, it would be to play with the dolphins a bit more! Since most of the explanations are in English, I think those who don't understand English might miss out on some of the fun.

If you're looking for a guaranteed chance to see dolphins and swim with them, you should definitely give it a try!

イルカにつかまっての泳ぎは最高、嫁さんは大喜び!

こんなもんでしょう
Posted on: 2011/02/28

I participated in whale watching during my mother and aunt's first trip to Hawaii, as it was the season for it. If you're expecting the spectacular jumps often seen in whale photos, you might be disappointed. However, if you approach it with the mindset of leisurely enjoying a cruise in Hawaii, you might feel lucky and satisfied to see some whales as a bonus.

They made sure we could see the whales well by moving around to chase them, and with lunch included, I think the price is reasonable.

I chose this tour because it was offered in Japanese, and while there were Japanese announcements during the cruise, it was disappointing that the staff's explanations about the whales right after departure were only in English.

母と叔母の初めてのハワイ旅行でホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので参加しました
よくクジラの写真であるような 豪快なジャンプを期待していたらだめです。
ハワイのクルーズをのんびり楽しむくらいの気持ちで参加すれば、おまけにクジラが見られてラッキーと満足できるかも

ちゃんとクジラが良く見られるように、クジラを追いかけ移動もしてくれたし、ランチもついてこの値段だったらOKなのではないでしょうか

ただ、日本語対応コースだったので参加したのですが、航行中のテープアナウンスは日本語もありましたが、出航直後のスタッフのクジラの説明など英語のみだったのが残念でした

Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. The captain and the entire crew are dedicated to ensuring that our guests have the opportunity to see whales, and we are constantly on the lookout for them. On some days, we are fortunate enough to witness very active whales performing impressive jumps.

Our Japanese-speaking staff usually accompany the cruise and do their best to assist our guests from Japan. However, we sincerely apologize for any shortcomings in our service. Thank you for your valuable feedback; we will use it to improve our services in the future.

I saw it, but...
見えましたが・・・
Posted on: 2011/02/28

I saw the tail fin while the water was splashing and the back was moving. Considering that there are times when you can't see anything at all, I think I was lucky, but it still feels unsatisfying if you can't see the whole jump. Even though the time is long, around 2 to 3 hours, it can get sleepy since there isn't much movement. It might be nice for enjoying a leisurely time on the sea.

潮吹きと背中が動いているところ、尾びれが見えました。全く見えないこともあることを考えるとラッキーだったのだと思いますが、やはりジャンプなど全体が見れないと物足りないです。時間が2~3時間と長い割に、特に移動をしないので眠くなります。のんびり海の上の時間を楽しむにはいいかも。

Thank you very much for joining our cruise. It seems that on the day you participated, you could only see the back and tail of the whales, but there are days when we encounter very active whales. If you have the opportunity, please come back to look for those active whales. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
お客様の乗られた日は背中や尾びれしか見られなかった様ですが、日によってはとても行動的な鯨に遭遇する事もございます。
また、機会があればそんなアクティブな鯨を探しにいらして下さい。
貴重なご意見有難うございました。

North Shore Winter Whale Watch Sailing (from Haleiwa)
Wonderful Experience
Posted on: 2011/02/26

We have never been whale watching before - we loved this first time experience! Captain Ryan and crew were great! They not only managed to help us see several whales (one baby just kept breaching - we have great pictures!) but we also were treated to turtles and spinner dolphins! When they lowered their microphone into the water and we heard the whales talking - it was just a huge bonus to a wonderful trip! We will definitely look them up if we get back to Oahu!!

シーライフパーク・ハワイ イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン 海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内<送迎付きプランあり>
I want to do it again when I come to Oahu!
オアフにきたらまたやりたい!
Posted on: 2011/02/22

The dolphins were incredibly cute, and it was so much fun to hold onto their dorsal fins and give them kisses! Although the time was short, it was truly a valuable experience that moved me. I also bought photos separately, which became a wonderful keepsake. It was so healing.

Sea Life Park has various shows, and the dolphin show was creatively arranged and very impressive. It was amazing to see the instructor riding on top of a dolphin like a surfboard! When I come to Oahu again, I want to visit Sea Life Park and touch the dolphins again.

イルカがすごくかわいくて、背びれにつかまったりキスをしたりすごく楽しかったです!!
時間は短いですが、本当に貴重な体験で感動しました。
写真も別売りで買ったのですが、すごく良い記念になりました。癒されます。
シーライフパークにはいろんなショーがやってて、
イルカショーは工夫をこらしてあって見ごたえがありました☆
イルカの上にインストラクターがサーフボードのように乗っているのがすごかったです!
オアフにきたらまたシーライフパークに来てイルカに触りたいです。

2.5 Hour Honolulu Whale Watch Cruise on the Majestic with Waikiki & Diamond Head Views [Dec - Apr]
Enjoyed the time with you
Posted on: 2011/02/19

While it was a very successful trip, viewing is still somewhat limited. I love your having a professional photographer on board who got us great pictures of the whales. I would like to be able to get a flashdrive or have the pictures emailed to me for printing on higher quality paper. But overall a very good experience.

ホエールウォッチ マジェスティック号 横揺れが少ない最新テクノロジー採用の次世代クルーズ船<アロハタワー発/12/26~3/31>
Meeting someone depends on luck!
出会えるのは運次第!
Posted on: 2011/02/16

The last time I used this service, I only saw a breach at the very end, but this time it was amazing!! After departing and finishing breakfast at the buffet, when I went out on deck, one of the crew members told me, "There’s a whale over there." I hurriedly called my family out to the deck, and there were three pairs of mother and baby whales surrounding our boat.

For over 30 minutes, we could see whales in every direction. The crew was excitedly saying, "It's rare to see this many. Plus, the baby whale is breaching multiple times." There was a Japanese staff member among the Navatek crew, so after the English explanation, they translated it into Japanese, which helped us understand a lot.

Relatives who went on another tour the next day said they only saw a tail once. Whether you encounter whales or not is a matter of luck, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from Navatek is very beautiful. I definitely recommend it as a cruising experience.

 以前利用した際は最後の最後にブリーチングが見えただけでしたが、今回は最高!!
出発して朝食のバイキングを食べ終わり、デッキに出たらクルーの一人が「あっちにクジラがいるよ。」と教えてくれました。急いで家族を呼んでデッキに出たら、三組もの親子クジラが私たちの船を囲んでいました。
それから30分以上どの方向にいても、クジラが見える状態。
クルーも「こんなに見れるのは珍しいよ。しかも赤ちゃんクジラがブリーチングを何度もしているなんて。」と興奮気味に語っていました。
ナバテックのクルーの中に日本人スタッフがいたので、英語の説明のあと日本語に翻訳してくれたので色んなことがわかりました。
次の日に他のツアーで行った親戚は尻尾が一度だけしか見れなかったと言っていました。
クジラと出会えるかどうかは運次第ですが、ナバッテックから見るワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドはとてもきれいです。
クルージングも兼ねて是非おすすめします。

Whale watching
ホエールウォッチング
Posted on: 2011/02/14

We participated as a family.
The sea was rough, so it was very rocky.
Many people were feeling unwell.
I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
There was a Japanese staff member, but their service was not very attentive, which was disappointing.
It was great to see a lot of whales.

家族で参加しました。
海が荒れていたので、とても揺れました。
気分が悪くなっている人が多かったです。
酔い止めを持参する事をすすめます。
日本人のスタッフの方がいましたが、あまり丁寧な対応ができていませんでした。それが残念でした。
鯨は、たくさん見れて良かったです。

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>
I encountered a turtle!
カメに出会えました!
Posted on: 2011/02/13

At a depth of 30 meters, I was able to see four turtles. I had some difficulty taking photos from inside the submarine, but since opportunities to ride a submarine are rare, I definitely think you should experience it! Even on the boat to the point where you transfer to the submarine, the deck on the second floor is refreshing, and if you're lucky, you might see a whale!

水深30mで、カメに4匹も会えました。やや艦内からの撮影がうまくできませんでしたが、なかなか潜水艦に乗れる機会はないので、是非、体験したら良いと思います!潜水艦に乗り移る地点までの船上でも、2階でデッキが爽快で、運が良ければ、クジラに会えます!

I encountered whales and dolphins!
クジラ&イルカに出会えました!
Posted on: 2011/02/08

On February 4, 2011, I participated in a whale watching tour with a friend and my friend's mother, making it three of us.

I had joined a dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu last summer, so this was my second time on this ship.

Since the season and time of day were different from my last visit, I was deeply moved by the view of Waikiki and the lush Diamond Head from the sea.

Even when I thought I could enjoy this scenery without seeing any whales, a whale appeared, and I was further touched to see dolphins swimming alongside the whale, playing together.

I would love to book a tour with Alan1 again.

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

2011年2月4日に友人と友人のお母さまと私という3人でホエールウォッチングに参加しました。

私は昨年の夏、スターオブ・ホノルル号でディナークルーズに参加したので、この船は2回目の乗船でした。

前回とは季節も時間帯が違うので、海からのワイキキや緑の多いダイヤモドヘッドの眺めに大変感動しました。

クジラが見えなくてもこの景色で十分楽しめたなぁと思っていたら、クジラが現れ、さらにイルカもクジラと遊ぶように一緒に泳ぐ姿が見られて心から感動し、癒されました。

またalan1でツアーを予約したいなぁと思いました。

良い思い出をありがとうございました!

I boarded twice in a row.
2連続で乗船しました
Posted on: 2011/02/07

I participated in the morning cruise, but I didn't see any whales. I immediately used the re-participation ticket I received and joined the afternoon cruise, where I was thrilled to see whales. I think that in terms of season, March to April might be better for seeing young whales as they are growing and easier to spot.

午前のクルーズに参加しましたが、クジラは見えず。
頂いた再参加の券を直ちに利用して、昼のクルーズに参加したところ、クジラを見る事ができ感激しました。
季節的には、3-4月の方が、子供のクジラが成長していて見やすいのではないでしょうか~

Thank you very much for participating in our whale watching cruise.

The peak season for whales is generally said to be from the end of January to February. Since they are wild animals, it's difficult to say definitively, but this year it seems that more sightings have been reported during the daytime cruises.

All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

この度は弊社のホエールウォッチクルーズにご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございます。

クジラのピークシーズンは例年1月末から2月と言われていて、野生の動物なので一概に言うのは難しいですが今年はお昼の時間のクルーズの方が多く観測されているように思います。

お客様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation
Shark Dive
Posted on: 2011/02/06

Awesome experience! Nothing like it. Plenty of parking and in an awesome area, Haleiwa. The ride out to the cage was not long, before a short safety brief. Once in the cage, it's a unique feeling to know one of the oceans apex predetors are swimming around you. They get pretty close, and is well worth price of the tour. A definite must do if visiting the island!

Good Time!

The sub ride was what we expected. It started with a nice boat ride out to the sub. On the sub ride the guide was very good, we were able to see a huge sea turtle and were able to take very good pictures. All in all very good.
