All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

コロナ前ですが、クジラを遠くに見ながらジェットフォイル船でお酒を飲んで楽しかったです。60over二人を連れてても全然問題なかったです。また行けるといいなー。

We had a wonderful time and even saw Hammerhead sharks!

It was far away, but I somehow saw a whale (^_^;) While I can't expect much from the meal, it's nice that the ship itself is large and spacious. Since it's nature, you can't always expect things to go as planned, but if you're lucky, you might see some jumps. Please join with an open heart.

遠くですが、なんとなく(^_^;)クジラさんが見えました。お食事は期待できませんが船自体が大きくてゆったりできるのは良いですね。自然の事なので常に期待通りとはいきませんが、運が良ければジャンプとか見られるそうです。広い心で参加して下さいね。

The weather was nice and it felt very pleasant. I was able to see it a few times, but I had imagined there would be many more up close, so it was quite far away and a bit disappointing. I thought it might be dangerous to get too close, but it was too far to feel the impact. I think it's good to go with the mindset of just wanting to see a little bit! I wasn't able to see the appearance like in the image photos.

天気もよくてとても気持ちよかったです。
何度か見ることができましたが、もっと近くにたくさんいるのを想像していたので、かなり遠くて少し残念でした。おそらく近づきすぎたら危険だからかなと思いましたが、遠すぎて迫力はなかったです。少しでも見れたらいいな、という気持ちで行くといいと思います！イメージ写真のような姿は見れませんでした。

We participated as a family, but the sea was rough, and seasickness peaked, plus we were disappointed that the whales didn't show up. The kids enjoyed the scenery from the boat.

家族で参加をしましたが、海も荒れていて船酔いがピークな上、クジラも姿を現さずに残念でした。子供は船から景色を楽しんでいました

A pod of dolphins came over to us about five times, and we were able to see many dolphins. I was really happy to meet a turtle as well. I would love to participate again!

イルカさんの群れが５回くらいこちらによってきて、たくさんイルカさんを拝むことが出来ました。
カメさんにも会えて本当に嬉しかったです。また参加したいと思います！

I was able to see whales quite well. However, it may depend a lot on luck. When I went, it seemed that there was only one whale nearby, and I saw it come up to the surface a few times. There are times when you can see multiple whales. You can't get too close to the whales (it seems that getting too close is prohibited). Also, when they come up for air, they dive back down, so you have to wait for a while for them to surface again. The whales are great, but the rainbow was very beautiful, and you can also see Waikiki Beach from the ocean side. That view was nice as well.

鯨はしっかり見られました。
ただしかなり運にも左右されるかもです。自分が行ったときには一頭しか近くにはいなかったようで，それが海面まで上がってくるのを何回か見た感じです。
何頭も見られるときもあるようです。
鯨はそこまで間近で見られるわけではありません（あまり近づくのは禁止されているようです）
また息継ぎをすると潜ってしまうので，次上がってくるのをしばらく待つことになります。
鯨も良いですが，虹がとてもきれいに見え，またワイキキビーチを海側から見えます。そちらの眺めも良かったですね。

I participated in whale watching. I was able to see 4 or 5 whales spouting in the distance. I was thrilled to see the whales, but it was also great to be on a boat with many native speakers, which added to the atmosphere.

ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。遠くのかなたで潮を吹いているクジラを4、5頭見られました。くじらを見たことも感激しましたが、ネイティブの方が多く乗っている船で、その雰囲気がよかったです。

There were mostly Japanese groups. We were the only group of individual applicants, and I was worried about whether we would see whales. There were many announcements in Japanese, and we were able to see whales several times right next to the boat. Even dolphins came close to the boat. I am very satisfied.

日本人は、団体ばかり。個人申込の日本人グループは自分たちだけ、クジラも会えるか心配でした。
日本語の案内も多く、クジラも何度も船のそばで見る事ができました。イルカまで船の近くまでやって来ました。大満足です。

I was lucky to participate just before the travel ban to Hawaii. I was surprised to learn that dolphins can be found surprisingly close to the shore (though it might have just been that time).

Things I hope can be improved and some disappointments:
- Since I prefer renting a car during my stay, I didn't need transportation, so it would be nice to have a discount system for that.
- The term "light snack" was used, but it was more like a snack. It definitely wasn't a meal.
- I was told there would be a graduation gift, but there was no such present at all. Even a single pen would have been a nice keepsake, so it was disappointing.

ハワイ渡航禁止になる直前に参加できたのはラッキーでした。
イルカは意外と岸に近いところに居るもんだと、初めて知りました。(この時だけだったのかもしれませんが)
改善していただけたらと思うことや、残念だったこと。
・当方は滞在中レンタカー派なので、送迎不要だったのですが、その場合は少しはディスカウント制度があればありがたいかと。
・軽食という表記ですが、あれなスナックですね。決して食事ではなかったです。
・卒業記念品をいただけるとのことでしたが、全くそういうプレゼントは無かったです。たとえボールペン１本でも記念になるのにと残念でした。

When you arrive at the park, a staff member who speaks Japanese will guide you around the park. When it's time, you'll change into your swimsuit in a restroom-like area! Life vests are distributed, and then it's off to the dolphin pool! The dolphin instructor speaks entirely in English. They explain various things about the dolphin's body, but even if you don't understand English, there's no need to worry as they use body language to show you when it's okay to touch the dolphin!

During the tour, each person receives a photo with the dolphin as a gift! It was a wonderful keepsake!

The dolphin show afterward was also enjoyable, and I participated in the feeding experience, which required an additional fee.

This park is highly recommended if you visit Hawaii! Along the way, you can also see Sunday Beach, and the scenery is fantastic!

パークに到着すると、日本語担当の方がパークの案内をしてくれます
時間になるとお手洗いのようなところで水着にチェンジ！
ライフベストを配られいざイルカさんのプールへ！
イルカインストラクターの方はオールイングリッシュ。
イルカの体の作りなど色々説明してくれます。
英語がわからなくても、ボディランゲージで今イルカにさわっていいよ！など教えてくれてるので心配無用です！！

ツアーでは一人一枚イルカさんとのお写真プレゼント！とっても記念に残りました！

そのあとのイルカショーも楽しく、フィーディング体験もできたので追加料金がかかりますが参加しました！

ハワイに行ったらぜひぜひオススメのパークです！
途中、サンデイビーチなどもみえ、景色も最高です！

I was able to see dolphins jumping and swimming in groups!

The snorkeling afterwards felt like a leisurely free time, and I enjoyed watching the fish and turtles with him!

The spam musubi eaten on the boat was incredibly delicious!

I'm not sure if it's a limited-time offer, but I received a cute eco bag from the dolphin school at the office! It's really adorable and my favorite!

Since it's cold, I recommend borrowing a wetsuit!

ジャンプしたり、群れで泳いでいるイルカさんが見れました！

その後のシュノーケリングはのびのびとした自由時間みたいな感じで彼とのんびりお魚さんや亀さんを見ました！

船の上で食べるスパムにぎりは最高に美味しかったです！

期間限定なのかは分かりませんが、イルカ学校のエコバックがオフィスでもらえました！とっても可愛くてお気に入りです！

寒いのでウエットスーツ？は借りたほうがオススメです！！

My first whale watching experience was wonderful as I got to see a mother and calf whale. I thought we might be able to see them a bit closer, but I understand that it’s a matter of the whales' safety. The boat was large. Since it was a plan without meals, those who had breakfast included were enjoying a buffet before departure. It would be better for those without meals to eat beforehand. I didn't expect to see whales so close to Honolulu; the view of Honolulu from the sea was also very beautiful. Not only the whales, but I could also see Diamond Head beautifully from the ocean. It was a very elegant cruise.

初のホエールウォッチングで、親子の鯨が見れてとても良かった。もう少し近くで見れるかと思った。鯨の安全性の問題なので仕方ないと思った。船は大きい船だった。食事なしのプランだったので、朝食付きの人は出港前にブッフェを食べていた。食事なしの人はご飯を食べていった方が良い。ホノルルからこんなに近いところで見れるとは思わなかった、海から見るホノルルもとても景色が良かった。鯨だけでなく、ダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に海から見れた。とても優雅なクルーズだった。

It was my travel companion's husband's long-awaited whale watching experience, and we participated with a light-hearted attitude, thinking it would be lucky if we got to see any whales.

Although it was a large boat and we couldn't get too close, we were able to see whales jumping about three times at a distance that was clear enough to observe with the naked eye. I thought it would have been nice to have binoculars.

同行者の夫念願のホェールウォッチングでしたが、見ることが出来たらラッキーだね。くらいの軽い気持ちでの参加でしたが、

大型船なのですぐ近くとは行きませんが充分肉眼で確認できるほどの距離でのジャンプを3度ほど見ることが出来ました。
双眼鏡を持っていたら良かったかなと思いました。

I saw whales in the distance about three times. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see them as much as I had hoped, but on the way back, a large group of dolphins came close to us. They jumped a lot, and just the dolphins alone were very enjoyable to watch! It was a great deal that one child was free with the campaign.

クジラは遠くに3回ほど見えました。
思ったより見られなくて残念でしたが帰りにイルカの大群が近くに来てくれました。
たくさんジャンプしてくれてイルカだけでも充分見応えありました！
キャンペーンで子供1人無料だったのがとてもお得でした。

I was worried about seasickness, so I thought a larger boat would be safer and decided to join this tour.

● Transportation
★ The pickup was by a larger bus, gathering at a nearby hotel.
★ On the way back, I was able to get dropped off at Ala Moana.

⚫︎ Meals
★ I hesitated about including breakfast, thinking that the food on the boat might make me feel sick, so I decided against it.
★ Many people opted for breakfast, and everyone was eating before the boat started moving.
★ Since there was time before departure, it was possible to eat if you brought your own food.

⚫︎ Whales
★ As for the whales, we saw them!! However, we couldn't see them very closely.
We could see them spouting water and their tails from a distance.
★ On the way back, a pod of dolphins appeared, and we were able to see them up close, which was very satisfying!

船酔いが心配だったので、こちらの大きめの船なら安心かなっと思いこちらのツアーに参加しました。

●送迎
★送迎は大きめのバスで近くのホテルに集合でした。
★帰りはアラモアナで降ろしてもらう事も出来ました。

⚫︎食事
★朝食付きか迷いましたが、船の中の食事は気持ち悪くなるかも、、と思いやめておきました。
★朝食付きにしてる方は多く、船が動き出す前に皆さん食事をとられていました。
★持参しても出発まで時間もあるし食べる事は可能です

⚫︎くじら
★肝心のクジラは、、見れました！！ただやはりそんなに近くではなかなか見れなかったです。
潮をふいているのと、しっぽが遠くですが、みえました。
★帰りにイルカの群れが現れてくれてそちらは至近距離で見られたので大満足です！

Second time with dolphins!!

It was absolutely amazing!!! The day before we went, it took three hours to see dolphins, but on this day, we encountered a pod just 15 minutes after reaching the spot!!! We got to swim with them over and over again. It was March, but I managed to swim without a wetsuit (it might have been better if I had borrowed one??). I also got to meet the turtle instructor right away, and it was truly, truly wonderful!!!

Dolphin experiences are the best!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’ll be back!!!!

二回目のイル中！！

やはりさいこーーーーーーー！！！
私たちが行った前日はイルカに会うのに3時間かかったとのことでしが
この日はポイントに行ってから15分ほとでイルカの群れに遭遇！！！
何度も何度も一緒に泳げました。
3月でしたがウエットスーツなしでもなんとか泳げました（借りればもっとよかったかも？？）カメ先生にもすぐ会えてほんとーにほんとーによかったです！！！

イル中さいこーーーーーーーーー❤️❤️❤️
またきます！！！！

I didn't have high expectations, but it was very pleasant and the scenery was beautiful. When a whale is spotted, they announce it and let you know where it is, so if you keep an eye out, you might see a mother and her calf quite close by. It was quite moving. It felt like time stood still, and it was very healing. I want to participate again, but my husband seemed to struggle with seasickness, so for those worried about seasickness, it's better to take medication in advance to enjoy it more. Definitely give it a try!

余り期待はしてなかったのですが、とても気持ちが良く、景色も良かったです。
クジラが見えたら放送がかかり、どの辺りにいるって教えてもらえるので、ずっと見張ってると親子かな？結構近くにいてみれました。
何か感動～
時間が止まってるかのようで癒されました。
又参加したいけど、旦那が船酔いしてしんどそうで、船酔いの心配の人は薬を飲んでおいた方が楽しめます。
是非参加してみてください♪

I went on my first trip to Hawaii from March 8 to March 12. I had planned to book activities in Japan, but a friend advised me to make reservations after arriving due to weather conditions, so I booked everything on my smartphone the day before.

Two days prior, I had booked parasailing with a different company, and although it was sunny until just before our turn, it started to rain and got cold when it was finally our turn. I was worried about the weather that day, but it turned out to be beautifully clear! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

We stayed at a minor hotel, so the nearby Hyatt Regency was the pickup location. When we boarded, there were already an American man, his two nephews, their two mothers, and a Japanese newlywed couple on the bus. It seemed we were the last to be picked up. After about 30 minutes of driving, we arrived at the boat dock.

It took about 20 minutes for check-in and to go over safety instructions. The company we were with was located on the same premises as the parasailing company I had used two days earlier, but while the parasailing company had restrooms, this one instructed us to use the nearby McDonald's for facilities. I didn't particularly want anything from McDonald's and thought I could hold it, so I boarded the boat without going. Looking back, I definitely should have used the restroom at that point since there are no toilets on the water…

Once on the boat, drinks (water) and snacks were available for unlimited consumption. After about 5 to 10 minutes, we arrived at the spot for the underwater scooters. It seemed that others were only participating in the underwater scooter activity, so we stayed on the boat while we were on a course that included SUP and snorkeling, and we transferred to a smaller boat to head to the sandbar.

Since it was a private tour, a Japanese staff member kindly taught us how to use the SUP, and while the snorkeling didn't have an abundance of beautiful fish, we were able to observe the fish slowly and take photos, which made for a very satisfying experience. I think we spent about an hour at the sandbar.

They provided wetsuits, but only for the upper body, so be careful not to cut your feet on the coral while snorkeling! I ended up getting injured in two places. ε-(´∀｀; )

After that, we moved to the underwater scooter spot. Once we switched back to the boat we had arrived on, there were already about 20 people from the underwater scooter group who had almost finished boarding, and we waited about 10 minutes until it was our turn. While waiting, we were able to see a honu (sea turtle) come up to the surface from the boat. The Japanese staff member had told us earlier that we would definitely see honu, so I was excited, but I never expected it to be so easy to spot them! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

Once on the underwater scooter, after equalizing my ears, we followed the staff to a depth of about 2 to 3 meters. My face only got wet when going in and out of the helmet, so it was fine to wear contacts. Even in Hawaii, the water was quite cold when entering. When I shook the chain with the food, a lot of fish came to us.

Then we were taken to the honu spot, where we could see honu swimming on the ocean floor, drive the underwater scooter ourselves, and take photos with friends, which was very satisfying. I think we spent about 20 minutes there.

On the way back to the dock, the staff showed us the photos they had taken, and if we wanted to purchase any, we could do so. We decided not to buy them since they were a bit pricey, but there were some good photos. It seemed they had also filmed a video.

Afterward, since we were cold, it would have been nice to have a shower, but there wasn't one available. So, we were driven back to the Hyatt Regency by our pickup driver, and that concluded the tour. I was very satisfied with the private sandbar and my first experience with the underwater scooter. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again!

３月８日から３月１２日までのはじめてのハワイ旅行でした。
日本でアクティビティを予約してから参加しようと思っていましたが知り合いから天候の関係で現地についてから予約したほうがいいとのことで前日に現地でスマホから予約しました。
２日前に別な会社でパラセーリングを予約して参加したらパラセーリング直前まで晴れてたのに私たちの番になったら雨が降ってきて寒かったので当日天気が不安でしたが見事にピーカン╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
私達はマイナーホテルに泊まっていたので近くのハイアットリージェンシーがピックアップ場所でした。
乗り込むとアメリカから来たおじさんと
その甥っ子２人、そのお母さん達２人、日本人の新婚さん２人が既に乗っていて私達は最後のピックアップだったようです。
３０分ほど乗車すると船乗り場に着きます。
そこから受付や、注意事項確認で２０分程かかりました。
２日前に参加したパラセーリングの会社と同じ敷地内に今回の会社もありましたがパラセーリングの方はトイレがあったのにこちらの会社はお手洗いは近くのマクドナルドを利用してくださいとの説明でした…
特にマクドナルドで食べたいものもなかったのとお手洗いにも行かなくても大丈夫かなと思いそのまま乗船。
後で思いましたがこのタイミングで必ずお手洗いに行ったほうがいいです。
海上にはもちろんトイレはありません…
船に乗ると飲み物（水）や、スナックがあり食べ放題でした。
５分から１０分程すると水中スクーターが出来るスポットに到着します。
他の方達は水中スクーターのみの参加だったようで
そのまま船に残り私達はSUPや、シュノーケリングもできるコースだったので小型船に乗り換えサンドバーへ移動しました。
貸切だったので日系スタッフの方が丁寧にSUPの乗り方を教えてくれたのと、シュノーケリングも、キレイな魚がうじゃうじゃいたわけでもありませんでしたがゆっくり魚を観察したり、写真を撮ってもらったりのんびりできたので大満足でした。
１時間ほどサンドバーにいたと思います。
ウエットスーツを貸してもらえますが上だけなのでシュノーケリングの際サンゴで足を切らない様に注意！
私は2箇所も怪我しました
ε-(´∀｀; )
その後水中スクーターのスポットへ移動しました。
移動後、先ほど乗ってきた船に乗り換えると既に20人ほど乗っていた水中スクーターのみのコースの方達がほぼ乗り終わっていて１０分ほど待機してると私たちの番になりました。
待機中ホヌが海上に上がってきて船の上から
見ることができました。
先ほどサンドバーの時に日系スタッフの方から100%ホヌを見ることができるよと聞いていたので期待していたのですがまさかこんなに簡単に見れるとは
(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
水中スクーターへ乗り耳抜きが済むとスタッフの方の誘導で深さ2、3メートルのところまで行きます。
顔は水中スクーターのヘルメットの中に入る時と出る時のみ濡れるのでコンタクトでも大丈夫でした。
水に入る時はハワイといえどすごく寒いです。
水中では餌が入っている鎖を振るとたくさんの魚がよってきてくれました。
その後ホヌスポットへ連れて行ってもらい海底に潜っているホヌをみたり、水中スクーターを自分で運転したり、友達との写真を撮ってもらい大満足でした。
時間的には２０分くらいだと思います。
その後は船着場へ戻る途中でスタッフの方が撮った写真を見せてもらって購入希望の場合は購入という流れでした。
私達は金額が高めだったので買いませんでしたがいい写真が結構ありました。
ムービーも撮ってくれていたようです。
その後は体が冷えてるのでシャワーなどあればいいですがないので迎えにきてくれた方の運転でまたハイアットリージェンシーへ送っていただきツアー終了でした。
サンドバーが貸切だったのと水中スクーターも初体験だったので大満足でした。
またハワイに行く機会があれば参加したいです。

I had never experienced seasickness before, but I ended up going home without doing anything due to it. While the waves in Japan might not start, in Hawaii, they usually do. Please be careful. The round-trip taxi fare and the shark adventure cost about $380. I went, got seasick, couldn't see any sharks, and came back, feeling like I just threw away $380. Since you won't get your money back, everyone, please be very careful about the weather. Also, if you can't understand English listening to some extent, you won't know what the staff on the boat are saying.

船酔いした事なかったですが、船酔いして何もしないまま帰りました。
日本では開始しないような波でもハワイは普通に開始します。気おつけてください。往復のタクシー代とシャークアドベンチャー代で380ドルぐらいかかりました。
行って、船酔いして、サメも見れず、帰って、380ドルを捨てたようなものでした。
お金も返って来ないので、みなさん、天候には充分に気をつけてください。
あと、ある程度英語のリスニングが出来ないと、船のアテンドの人が何言ってるかわかりません。

The view from the boat on the way to the submarine was beautiful. There weren't many fish near the submarine, but I was able to see a lot of small fish and sea turtles. Before getting on the submarine, there was someone who interpreted in Japanese, but the explanations from the crew inside the submarine were in English, so I couldn't understand what they were saying.

潜水艦に行くまでの船からの景色が綺麗でした。潜水艦の近くには魚があまり来なかったですが、たくさんの小さい魚とウミガメも見られました。潜水艦に乗る前までは日本語で通訳してくれる人がいましたが、潜水艦の中でクルーが説明している内容が英語だったので何を言っているのか分からなかったです。

I wanted to show my daughter whales up close, so I signed up for a tour. On the day of the tour, there was rain and wind, and the sea was rough. It was a relatively large boat, but it was very rocky, and I got seasick. My daughter was so sick that she couldn't leave the restroom, so we didn't get to see any whales. I also got seasick, but I managed to see some whales, although I only caught a glimpse of their tails a few times. Depending on the season and weather, I wouldn't recommend this for people who are not good on boats.

娘にクジラを近くで見せてあげたいと思い、ツアーに申込みました。当日は雨風があり海は荒れ模様。
比較的大きな船でしたが、非常に揺れて船酔いが。。
娘はひどくてトイレから出てこれずクジラどころではありませんでした。私自身も船酔いしましたが、何とかクジラを見ました。けれど尾っぽが数回見れたくらいでした。時期や天候にもよりますが、船が苦手な人には勧められません。

I participated in a dolphin tour during the second half of my trip to Hawaii. Most of the trip was rainy and quite chilly, but on this day, it was sunny from the morning, and the temperature was high, making for a comfortable tour. I was worried about whether I would see dolphins, but I was truly moved to see them three times. When a dolphin passed right in front of me, I got goosebumps. Additionally, during the snorkeling time, I was able to see many sea turtles, making it a truly fulfilling tour. Since it was a family trip, I also enjoyed dancing with everyone on the boat during the tour. I would love to participate again.

ハワイ旅行後半にイルカ中学に参加しました。旅行中のほとんどが雨が多く肌寒いことも多かったのですが、この日は朝から快晴で気温も高く快適なツアーになりました。一番のお目当てのイルカが見れるかが心配でしたが、３度も見ることができ本当に感動でした。目の前をイルカが通過したときは鳥肌が立ちました。またシュノーケリング時間でもウミガメをたくさん見ることができて本当に充実したツアーになりました。家族単独旅行でしたのでこのツアーで他の皆さんと船上でダンスしたのも楽しかったです。また参加したいと思います。

I heard that it can take time to find a pod of dolphins depending on the day, but when I participated in February, it took 4 hours to swim with the dolphins (sometimes they can be found in about 30 minutes). They generally stick around for hours until they find them, so it's wise not to schedule anything else after the tour.

However, even if it takes time to encounter the dolphins, you can swim with whales, turtles, and various fish in the meantime, which makes for a very satisfying experience. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, making it a great tour.

日によってイルカの群れを見つけるまで時間が掛かることがあるとの事だったのですが、
2月に参加した際はイルカと泳ぐまで4時間かかりました(早い時は30分くらいで見つけられるらしい)。
基本的に見つかるまで何時間も粘ってくれるので、ツアーの後に他の予定は入れておかない方が賢明です。

しかしイルカに出会うまで時間がかかっても、それまでクジラ、カメやいろんな魚と泳ぐ事が出来るので、とても満足度が高いです。
スタッフの方々も親切でアットホームで、良いツアーでした。

It lasted about an hour, but I was able to see the whales jump and spout (multiple times) without any issues!

The announcements were mainly in English, but there were also explanations in Japanese, so there were no problems.

It was the simplest plan without pick-up or breakfast, but the boarding time was also about two hours, which was not a problem. I was able to arrive smoothly from Waikiki using The Bus.

Points to note:
- The waves were quite high, and the boat rocked a lot. Be cautious of seasickness.
- Inside the cabin, the air conditioning was too strong, and outside it was windy and quite cold. A jacket is essential.
- The boat is relatively old and not very clean. There were areas that smelled a bit like garbage, possibly due to the food being served.

1時間程度でしたが、無事、鯨のジャンプと潮吹き（何度も）見ることができました！

基本的には英語のアナウンスですが日本語の解説もあり問題ありません。

送迎なし、朝食ナシの一番シンプルなプランでしたが、乗船時間も2時間程度と短く、特に問題ありません。
ワイキキからもThe Busで滞りなく到着できました。

注意点は・・
・かなり波が高く船はかなり揺れます。船酔い注意。
・船上はキャビン内はクーラーが効きすぎ、外は風が強くかなり冷えます。はおりモノは必須
・船は割と古く、それほどキレイではありません。食事が出るせいもあるか生ごみっぽいにおいがするエリアもあった

I boarded the boat thinking I would be lucky to see even one whale, but I was thrilled to see three whales swimming together and dolphins up close multiple times! I could clearly hear the sound of them blowing water, and it was a wonderful experience of nature. The whale watching was fantastic, but one thing that concerned me was the loud construction noise inside the boat, which made it difficult to hear the naturalist's announcements and music. It would have been even better if there had been consideration for that.

一回でもみれたらラッキーと思いながら乗船しましたが、3匹のくじらが仲良く泳いでいる姿やイルカも近くで何回も見れてとても良かったです！潮を吹く時の音などもはっきり聞こえ、自然を体感できました。ホエールウォッチングとしては素晴らしかったのですが、一つ気になったのは船内での工事の音が大きく、ナチュラリストさんのアナウンスや音楽が聞こえにくかったりしたので、そこの配慮があったらなお良かったです。

Unfortunately, I couldn't see them, but I was happy to meet a pod of dolphins. The guide was really nice and would let us know as soon as he spotted something!

The boat was comfortable, pleasant, and fun!

残念ながら見れませんでしたが、イルカの群れに会えてうれしかったです。
ガイドさんは何か見えるとすぐ教えてくれたり、すごくいい人でした！

船も快適で、気持ちよく、楽しかったです！

We participated as a family!
It was our first whale watching experience!
The weather was nice, and we saw whales several times!
The kids were thrilled and had a great time!

家族で参加しました！
初のホエールウォッチングでした！
天気も良くクジラも何回か見えました！
子供も大喜びで楽しかったです！

Whales don't come out of the water with a big splash like in the anime. You might see a tail fin like in the pictures on the site, but in reality, it's smaller and not very impressive. However, I think kids will enjoy it, and being on the boat feels nice, so it's worth going at least once. I recommend it over the sandbar.

クジラってアニメみたいに、ザブーーーンと海面からは出てこないんです。サイトの写真にあるような尾びれは出ますが、実物は小さく迫力はないです。でもお子さまは喜ぶとは思うし、船は気持ちいいので、１回は行っても損はしない。サンドバーより、おすすめ。

I appreciated the audio guidance in Japanese available on the shuttle bus and inside the cruise ship. Unfortunately, the real-time announcements regarding whale sightings and the sea conditions that day (explanations from the captain and guides) were difficult to understand without knowledge of English.

During the whale watching, we moved to the deck where we could watch the whales in sync with the surrounding movements. Thanks to the three-story large ship, the deck and interior were windy and choppy, but it didn't sway as much as I expected. When a whale surfaced and spouted water, there was a cheer, and everyone got excited beyond words. It was truly moving to see a whale up close.

I think even someone like me, who only understands a bit of English, can manage just fine. It was a very enjoyable experience.

行きの送迎バスの中やクルーズ船内でも一通りの音声ガイダンス日本語案内があり、ありがたかったです。
残念なのは、鯨の出没の際の説明や当日の海の状態などリアルタイムの案内（船長とガイドの説明）は、英語が理解できないと何を言っているのかよくわかりませんでした。
鯨ウォッチングのタイミングの時は周りの動きに合わせて鯨ウォッチングできるデッキに移動しました。
デッキや船内は３階建ての大型船のおかげで風が強く波立っていましたが思ったより揺れませんでした。
鯨が潮を吹きながら頭を出した際は歓声が上がり、言葉を超えてみんなで盛り上がりました。鯨を目の当たりにできたのはとても感動です。
私のように片言英語しかわからない状態でもなんとか大丈夫だと思います。
とても楽しい体験ができました。
