I attended with my 1 year and 4 month old son, and I was happy that the crew members were so affectionate towards him. Since he doesn't understand things like whales yet, I thought it might be nice to participate again when he does. I didn't sign up for breakfast, but from what I saw at the buffet, I think it was a good decision not to sign up.
1歳4ヶ月の息子を連れて参加しましたがクルーの皆さんが息子を可愛がってくれて嬉しかったです。
まだ今はクジラなど分からないのでまた分かるようになったら参加してもいいかなっと思いました。
私は朝食を申し込みませんでしたがブッフェ台を見た感じ申し込まないでよかったと思いました^^;

I participated on February 13. At first, I couldn't see anything at all, but after heading offshore, I saw it a couple of times, albeit small. Just like when I went dolphin watching before, it's really up to luck on the day. However, the weather was nice, and I was satisfied because I could see Diamond Head beautifully. The food was as expected, with limited variety and average taste. When I had dinner on the same boat before, the all-you-can-eat crab was really delicious, and there was a show, so I thought the evening experience might be more worthwhile.
2月13日に参加しました。
初めは全く見えませんでしたが沖合いに出てから二回ほど小さく見えました。
以前にイルカウォッチングに行った時と同じくこればかりは当日の運次第です。
でも天気が良くてダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に見えたので満足です。
食事は予想通り種類も少なくてお味も普通です。
以前同じ船にディナーで乗った時のカニ食べ放題は本当に美味しくショーもあったのでやっぱり夜の方がお得かなと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.

Great choice for a whale watch especially if you have children or people in your group who are more sensitive to motion sickness. The thing that sets this whale watch apart from all the others is size and stability of the boat and all of the activities available on board while heading out to look for whales. This could almost be described as a fun Hawaiian tropical lunch cruise with whales. In addition to a delicious lunch buffet and frequent whale sightings there is also hula lessons, lei making and ukulele lessons. The captain and crew are always on the look out for whales, so while you are doing the activities the captain will announce which side of the boat the whales are on so you do not miss any of the whale action while eating or participating in the activities. With whales being wild animals and not always predictable in where they will be, having activities to keep the kids occupied makes this a great option for families
I was worried about what I would do if I couldn't see them, but I was able to see the baby whales multiple times!
見ることができなかったらどうしようと思っていましたが、子供のクジラを何度も見ることができました!

Aloha, thank you for your review and for booking an Atlantis Cruises Whale Watch tour through VELTRA. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your cruise aboard the Majestic.
We appreciate your feedback and hope you can join us again soon. Mahalo!
We went on our honeymoon. Swimming with dolphins requires a lot of stamina... I was able to see one dolphin swimming from a distance.
When viewing dolphins from the boat, it was so much fun to see them mating and to be able to watch many dolphins chasing the boat up close! Just this experience made it worth participating in the tour. I was also moved to see three sea turtles!! It was my first time snorkeling, and there were so many fish, plus we were able to take a lot of photos, which was great! I wish we could buy the photo data just for ourselves, even if it was a bit pricey. I don't need the ones with everyone in them... But it became the best memory!
新婚旅行で行きました。イルカと泳ぐのは体力が必要です・・・。泳いでいるイルカを遠目で1匹見れました。
船からイルカを見るときは、交尾とかみれたり、船おっかけてくるたくさんのイルカが凄く至近距離で見れたりとっても楽しかったです!!これだけでツアー参加して良かったです。ウミガメも3匹いて感動しました!!初のシュノーケリングでしたが魚もたくさんいて、写真も沢山撮ってもらえてよかったです!!写真データが、自分たちだけのでも、多少割高でいいので買えたらいいのになーって思いました。みんながうつってるやつはいらないです・・・。でも最高な思い出になりました。

There wasn't much explanation when we boarded, and it was a bit confusing, so I ended up sitting in a different area on another floor. After we set off for a while, we succeeded in seeing whales! We were able to see spouts and tails several times! There was an announcement about the direction, so I could quickly follow the whales with my eyes. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any jumps, and I wished we could have seen them a bit closer, but since they are wild animals, things don't always go as we hope. Still, I'm glad we got to see the whales!
乗船した時の説明があまりなかったのと分かりづらかったので違う階のスペースに座ってしまってました。出発してしばらく経つとクジラを見ることに成功!潮吹きや尾びれなど何回か見ることができました!何時の方向ってアナウンスがあるので、すぐにクジラを目で追うことが出来ました。残念ながらジャンプは見れませんでしたし、もう少し近くでも見れたらなぁと思いましたが自然や生き物ですから思う通りにはならないですよね。でもちゃんとクジラが見れて良かったです!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.

It seems that there are days when you may not encounter whales. On this day, they were also slow to appear. At the crew's words that they were around here, the multinational members all focused their eyes intently. Then, with a splash, they jumped! "Oh my God!" voices exclaimed. Everyone was moved by the sight of these mammals living in the ocean, beings so close to us. It was a tour that allowed us to empathize with the beauty of nature and the essence of life.
日によっては、クジラに遭遇できないこともあるそうです。
この日もなかなか出てきてくれません。あの辺にいるよとクルーの言葉に、多国籍メンバーが一斉に目を凝らす。と、水しぶきを上げてジャンプ!「オー・マイ・ガーッド」と声が上がる٩(^‿^)۶海中で生きる哺乳類、我々に近い存在の姿に参加者全員が感動。自然の素晴らしさと命に共感できるツアーでした。
I was able to encounter eight whales safely. I was surprised that we could see them without going too far after departure. Thanks to that, we didn't have to rush the boat around searching for whales, and I didn't get seasick. A baby whale was jumping and playing several times. It’s quite difficult to take good photos.
無事に8頭のクジラに出会えました。出航後あまり遠くにも行かないで見られたのにはびっくり。おかげで船が疾走してクジラを探し回ることもなく、船酔いもせずに済みました。子クジラが何度もジャンプして遊んでいましたよ。写真を上手く撮るのはなかなか難しいです。

We participated with two adults and children aged 2 and 0. The shuttle bus accommodated our stroller, and we arrived at the departure port. Since it was early in the morning, we bought some bread to eat after boarding. The ship was wheelchair accessible, making it easy to move around with the stroller.
After we set sail, there was an announcement that whales could be seen. We spotted whales jumping and spouting water several times. It seemed like it was raining a bit in the distance, and we were lucky enough to see a double rainbow, capturing both the rainbow and the whales in photos, which made us feel very fortunate.
大人2人 2歳0歳の子連れで参加しました。
送迎車にはベビーカーも積んでもらい、出発港に到着しました。
朝早かったため、パンを買っておき乗船後に食べました。船内はバリアフリーになっているためベビーカーでの移動も楽々でした。
出航してからしばらくしてクジラが見えるとのアナウンスがありました。
ジャンプしたり潮を吹くくじらが何度も見えました。遠くで少し雨が降っていたのか、ダブルレインボーも見られ、虹とくじらが同時に写真におさめられ、とてもラッキーな気持ちになりました。

I participated on Valentine's Day, February 14.
The weather forecast had predicted rain and even thunderstorms.
However, on the day itself, although it was quite cloudy, I was able to see many whales.
Right after the boat set out, I was lucky enough to see a big rainbow in the distance, the first one of this trip.
It was windy and cold, but I desperately filmed videos.
There were quite a few baby whales.
They seemed to be jumping with all their might, which was adorable.
If the weather had been nice, I would have seen the most beautiful scenery, but overall, I was satisfied.
Like me, most people were watching from the top deck, but actually, viewing from around the second deck might have been better because it was closer.
参加したのは2/14バレンタインデー。
ずっと天気予報は雨、更に雷マーク。
でも当日は雲が多めだったものの、沢山の鯨を見る事が出来ました。
船が出て直ぐに、今回の旅で初めての遠くにかかる大きな虹まで見られてラッキー。
風が強くて寒かったものの、必死に動画撮影しました。
ベイビー鯨が多めでした。
一所懸命にジャンプしているようで可愛かった。
もしお天気が良かったなら最高に美しい景色が見られたはずでしたが、概ね満足。
私もそうでしたが、皆さんも最上階で見ている方が殆どでしたが、実は2階辺りで見るのが距離が近くて良かったかも?

We were blessed with good weather, but for a while after setting sail, there were no signs of dolphins, and I started to lose hope, thinking it was just nature. Then, during our last chance, we encountered a large pod of about 60 dolphins! We were able to swim quite close to them and even witnessed them jumping, which was incredibly exciting.
On our way back, we had another amazing encounter with a mother whale and her calf at a surprisingly close distance! I was moved by the adorable sight of the baby whale mimicking its mother by flapping its tail. At the sea turtle spot, I was also thrilled to swim alongside a quite large sea turtle.
Even if you're not a strong swimmer, the instructors were very attentive, making for a safe and enjoyable experience!
Thank you very much! ^ ^
天候に恵まれましたが、出航してから暫くイルカの影も形もなく、自然相手だしと諦めモードに。
ラストチャンスの回遊で60頭ぐらいのイルカの大群に遭遇!かなり近くで泳げ、ジャンプする姿にも巡り会えて大興奮。
大満足で帰り途中、かなり近めの距離でクジラの親子に遭遇!赤ちゃんクジラが親を真似て尻尾をパタパタする可愛らしい姿に感激。ウミガメスポットでもかなり大きなウミガメと一緒に泳げ大満足でした。
泳ぎが苦手でもインストラクターの皆さんがしっかりとアテンドしてくれ、安心&楽しい時間でした!
ありがとうございました^ ^
It's the same as human parents and children, where the baby whale learns various things by imitating its mother. Thank you for participating!
クジラの赤ちゃん、お母さんの真似をして色々と覚えていくのは人間の親子と同じなんですね。
ご参加ありがとうございました!
The pickup arrangements at the hotel were poor, and it took a long time to get on the bus.
Whether or not you can see whales really depends on luck...
This time, I was able to see the back and tail fins about two or three times. I think it was more impressive from the bottom deck?
A friend who participated on a different day mentioned that they missed seeing a whale because there was an announcement while they were eating, so that's something to take personal responsibility for. There are plans that include meals and various experiences, but it really depends on what you want to focus on.
ホテルでのピックアップの段取りが悪く、なかなかバスに乗れなかった
クジラが見える見れないは本当に運しだいなので。。。
今回は2~3回背中と尾ひれが見れました。
一番下のデッキで見たほうが迫力あったかな?
別の日に参加した知人は食事をしている途中にクジラ発見のアナウンスがあり見逃してしまったと言っていたので、そこらへんは自己責任ということで。

We boarded the boat as a family of four with our 2-year-old and 11-month-old baby! We were excited and a bit nervous wondering if we would see whales, but we enjoyed exploring the boat and taking in the scenery without getting bored. Since it was the rainy season in February, it was a bit chilly, so warm clothing was necessary.
The staff were wonderful; they played with the kids and smiled at them, gave us paper caps as gifts, and showed us videos and photos of whales and dolphins they had filmed in the past. They were very kind to the children.
As for the whales, we were able to see the spouting whales, their backs, and tails! When we saw them, everyone cheered, and it was more moving than we expected! I want to go again when the kids are older.
2歳児と11ヶ月の赤ちゃんをつれて家族4人で乗船しました!
クジラ、見れるかな〜〜とドキドキワクワクしながらも、船の中を散策したり、景色を楽しんだり、飽きることなく楽しめました。
2月の雨季の時期だったので肌寒かったので防寒具は必要でした。
スタッフのかたも子供たちをみるとみんな笑顔で遊んでくれたり、紙製のキャップをプレゼントしてくれたり、過去に自分たちが撮影したクジラやイルカの群れの動画や写真などを見せてくれて、子供たちにとても優しかったです。
肝心のクジラですが、潮吹きークジラの背中や尾びれ、見れました!
みれた瞬間はみんな大歓声で、思ったよりも感動しました!!
子供たちが大きくなったらもう一度見に行きたいと思います。

I was happy to fulfill my long-time dream of swimming with dolphins. I was able to see them up close. It was cold, but the wetsuit I borrowed was helpful. If there's one thing I want to mention, it's that since I rented a car, I met at the designated location, but the meeting point, the "public restroom," was quite hard to find. It was still dark at the meeting time, and other participants' bus was delayed, which made me quite anxious, wondering if I was at the wrong meeting point. In the end, I found out by asking someone from another tour company. I had asked during the confirmation call the day before, "Will I be able to find the restroom easily?" but the response was vague.
長年の夢(?)だった、イルカと泳ぐことができて嬉しかったです。しっかり見ることができました。寒かったのですが、お借りしたウエットスーツが役にたちました。一つだけ言っておきたいことがあるとしたら・・レンタカーのため、現地集合にしたのですが、集合場所の「公衆トイレ」がかなり分かりづらかったです。集合時間はまだ暗かったし、他の参加者のバスが遅れてきて、集合場所が違うのではないかと、かなり不安な気持ちになりました。最終的に、他のツアー会社さんの方にお聞きして判明しました。前日の参加確認の電話で「トイレってすぐに分かりますかね?」と聞いておきましたがその辺のお返事も曖昧でした。
On the morning of the day, when the shuttle bus arrived at the location, I was told that it was canceled. The day before, there had been bad weather, and as a result, the sea was murky. I changed my reservation to the latest time at 3 PM, thinking it might be better in the afternoon. However, the visibility was only about a meter. I felt that this was unacceptable, especially since I had paid over 15,000 yen. I think it would be completely different if I went on a nice day. I wish there had been a half-price refund system.
当日朝、送迎バスが現地に到着したときに、キャンセルになりましたと言われました。前日天候が悪い日があり、そのため海が濁ってるとのこと。午後ならいけるかもしれないと予約を変更して一番遅い3時になることに。しかしながら透明度がメートルほどでした。一万五千円以上払ってるのに、これはないなぁと思ったりもしました。天気の良い日に行くと全然違うんですよね、多分。半額バック制度があればよかったなー

The optional tour we had planned was suddenly canceled due to bad weather, so we made a last-minute reservation to participate that morning. The sea was very pleasant, and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. After a while, we encountered a mother whale and her calf, along with a pod of dolphins! They were very close, and we could hear the sounds they made when they spouted water. They stayed near the surface for a long time, allowing us to watch them for quite a while, which was incredibly moving! While the whale was diving, we enjoyed watching the dolphins jump, making for a very fulfilling experience.
予定していたオプショナルツアーが天候不良により急遽中止になってしまったため、当日朝に予約しての参加でした。
海上はとても気持ち良くキレイな景色を楽しめました。
しばらく船を進めるとくじらの親子とイルカの群れに出会える事が出来ました!
とっても近かったので、潮をふく時の音も良く聞こえ、海面付近にずっといてくれたので長い時間見ている事が出来てとても感激しました!
くじらが潜っている間はイルカのジャンプを楽しめ、とても充実した時間でした。

The weather was nice, and I was glad to be able to see whales.
Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, the sea was cold in February. I wore warm clothing and a hood, so I managed to stay comfortable. It's necessary to prepare for the cold.
I quickly realized that whales were visible thanks to the announcements from the guide and captain.
The whales that appeared repeatedly flapped their tails, almost as if they were waving.
天気も良くて、クジラも見ることが出来て良かったです。
常夏のハワイとは言え、2月の海上は寒かったです。
防寒着を着てフードを被っていたので、どうにか快適に過ごすことが出来ました。

At first, I was a bit discouraged when I saw the full down dive and it didn't come back after 10 minutes, but when another whale appeared and I witnessed it slapping its tail multiple times, I was so moved that tears came to my eyes! I'm really glad I participated.
初めはフルークダウンダイブする姿を見て、10分過ぎても出てこず、少し諦めていましたが、もう一頭のくじらが出現し、何度もテールスラップする姿を見たときは感動して涙が出て来ました!

When the weather is nice, you can clearly see Waikiki and Diamond Head, which feels great. At first, I couldn't see anything at all and almost gave up, but they finally appeared towards the end. However, while I did see whales, they were far away, so it wasn't as impressive as what you see in the brochures; it was more like, "Is that it?" Well, since it was a large ship, I didn't experience any seasickness, so I think that was a good thing.
天気が良いとワイキキやダイヤモンドベッドがクッキリと見えて気分が良いかと。最初は全然見えなくて諦めかけましたが、最後の方でやっと現れました。でも、確かにクジラは見えたけど遠かったので、パンフにあるような迫力ではなく、あれか、という感じです。まあ、大型船なので船酔いもなかったので、良かったかなと思います。

**[Experience Review]**
I participated at the end of January, having seen reviews beforehand, and thought, "If I get to see it, that would be lucky☆". As the reviews said, I couldn't see it, but since it was raining until the boat departed, there was a rainbow throughout the tour. Once we got out to sea, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, and we were able to see a very magical rainbow (and it was a double rainbow! Plus, it was huge!) against the blue sky and vast ocean. Personally, since I got to see the rainbow, I found it quite enjoyable (laughs).
**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
The breakfast was more delicious than I expected. There were bread, white rice, scrambled eggs, sausages, and more... I thought it was very Japanese-friendly with ketchup and soy sauce available.
**[Advice for Future Participants]**
I recommend boarding the boat as soon as possible after getting off the bus. The window seats are popular, so everyone was vying for them. They take your picture before boarding and come around to sell it during the trip. I don't remember the exact amount, but it seemed to be around $20 to $30. By the way, we prepared a tip before disembarking, but there was no tip box, and we didn't have a chance to meet the staff or captain when getting off, so there was no timing to give it.
【実際に体験した感想】

「見れたらラッキー☆」くらいで参加しました。

パン・白ご飯・スクランブルエッグ・ソーセージなど・・・
ケチャップやしょうゆもあり日本人好みだな~と思いました。
【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
バスから降りたあとはなるべく早めに乗船することをオススメします。
やはり窓際の席は人気があるためみなさん取り合いでした。
乗船前に写真を撮ってくださり乗船中に売りに来てくれます。
はっきりとした金額は覚えてませんが20ドル~30ドルくらいだったような。
ちなみに私たちはチップを用意して下船しましたが
チップを入れる箱もなく下船の際にスタッフやキャプテンとも
顔を合わせることがなかったため渡すタイミングがありませんでした。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
**[Experience Review]**
I participated at the end of January, but the maximum temperature was 22 degrees, and it was very cold. Right after boarding, I was able to see sea turtles and whales, but we struggled to find dolphins for four hours while being rocked by the boat. Finally, we spotted dolphins, but by then, I was down due to the cold and seasickness. In the end, I didn't get to enter the water and just watched the dolphins from the boat.
**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
The staff's determination to find dolphins is impressive! True to their word, while other tours were turning back to the harbor due to the lack of sightings, they took us here and there in search of dolphins.
**[Advice for Future Participants]**
If you are prone to seasickness, please make sure to take anti-nausea medication! They cannot sell medication on board, but they do sell seasickness prevention wristbands for $20. However, even with the medication and the wristband, I still felt nauseous. I wore a wetsuit for an additional fee (was it $10 or $20?), but it was really cold. Being exposed to the north wind for four hours was truly freezing. After coming out of the water, a man from another group became so pale that it was concerning, and he couldn't stop shaking.
On the way there, the bus provided explanations and taught us about Hawaiian history, so it wasn't really a relaxing atmosphere (in both good and bad ways). However, on the way back, there was an announcement about photo sales as soon as we got on, but after that, the bus was quiet enough for a nice nap. I forgot the price of the photos, but payment was either on the bus or at the office, so if you don't have any business at the office, I recommend bringing a bit of cash. I ended up needing quite a bit of cash for the seasickness band, wetsuit, photo costs, and tips. I'm glad I had it on me (laughs). Regarding tips, there was an announcement before disembarking saying, "If you think it was good..." and my husband and I paid $20, but it seemed that many people either didn't tip or only tipped around $5.
【実際に体験した感想】
1月末に参加しましたが最高気温が22度でとても寒かったです。
乗船後すぐにウミガメやクジラは見れたのですが
肝心のイルカがなかなか見つからず船に揺られること4時間。
ようやくイルカが見つかりましたが、その頃には私は寒さと船酔いでダウン。
結局、私は海に入ることはなく船上でイルカウォッチングになりました。
【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
必ずイルカを見つけます!というスタッフさんの意志がすごいです。
その言葉通り、ほかのツアーはあまりの見つからなさに港へ引き返している中
イルカを見つけるためにあっちへ行きこっちへ行きしてくださいました。
【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
船酔いする人は必ず!本当に必ず酔い止めの薬を飲んでください。
酔い止めの薬を販売することは出来ないので・・・と
船酔い防止のリストバンド(20ドル)を販売してくれますが
酔い止めの薬+リストバンドでも私は酔いました。
追加料金(10ドル?20ドル?)でウェットスーツを着てましたが
とにかく寒いです。4時間も北風に打たれると本当に寒いです。
海から上がったあとは別の組の男性が、こちらが心配になるくらい
血色がみるみる悪くなり震えが止まらなくなってました。
行きのバスは説明&ハワイの歴史を教えてくださっており
とても寝られる雰囲気ではありませんでしたが(いい意味でも悪い意味でも)
帰りのバスは乗ってすぐに写真販売の案内がありましたが
その後はゆっくり寝られるくらい車内が静かでした。
写真の値段を忘れてしまいましたが、バス車内でのお会計
もしくはオフィスにてお会計でしたのでオフィスに行く用事のない方は
少しばかりの現金を持ってくることをオススメします。
私は船酔いのバンド+ウェットスーツ+写真代+チップを支払ったので
結構な現金が必要になりました。持っててよかった~(笑)
チップに関しては下船前に「よかったと思ってくださる方は~」と
アナウンスがあり私と主人とで20ドル支払いましたが
意外とみなさん払われてないor5ドル程度の方が多かった印象です。
During the first half of the cruise, I was able to see whales in the distance from the top deck, although they appeared small. While I was having lunch on the first floor, a whale suddenly appeared much closer. I've heard that whale watching can be a matter of luck, but I think we were definitely lucky that day. The scenery was breathtaking, and the buffet and cultural experiences were great as well.
クルーズ前半は最上階からクジラが遠くに小さくですが何度も見れました。そして一階でランチを食べていたら、突然クジラが大きく見えました。ホエールウォッチングは運不運があると聞きますが、その日はきっと運が良かったのだと思います。景色も最高の眺めでしたし、ビュッフェや文化体験も良かったです。
