All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

My husband and I went on this cruise on one of the last days of our vacation. We did not see any whales or dolphins, but we still had a fantastic time! Since we did not see any whales we received a voucher for a free cruise for both of us. The crew was very knowledgeable and energetic. My only wish was that we would have picked to do this cruise earlier in our vacation so we could have used the voucher for the return cruise to hopefully see some whales.

The 8:00 pickup was delayed, so when I called, they answered in English. The voucher stated that both English and Japanese support were available, but when I asked for a Japanese speaker, I was told there wasn't one. After waiting for a while, I was picked up, but upon arriving at the information center, I was told, "Let's go on the boat!" within a minute, without any instructions on how to operate the Sea Bob. I was left feeling anxious and confused.

The weather was rainy and extremely cold, and despite the voucher stating that warm coffee and tea would be provided, we were given ice-cold water. While the weather is no one's fault, it was freezing, and the pickup vehicle had the air conditioning on full blast, making me shiver the entire time.

Since I was the first to finish, I had to wait for the last group to finish while enduring terrible boat swaying. I was told that snorkeling was an option, but that was the least of my concerns. Although it was stated that we would have 15 minutes on the Sea Bob, it was less than 10 minutes.

I believe it was a valuable experience, and the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I even saw a sea turtle. However, since the experience was heavily affected by the weather, I discussed with other Japanese participants that the price was too high for what we received, especially considering the additional cost for photos.

8:00ピックアップが遅れたので電話をすると英語で出ました。バウチャーには英語、日本語対応と書いてありJapanese speaker pleaseと言ったところいないと言われた。
しばらく待ってピックアップされたが案内所について1分でさあ、船で行こう！とシーボブについての操作方法をなにも聞かされていないのにも関わらず君たち1番に行ってと言われて何もわからず不安しかなかった。
天気は雨でものすごく寒かったしこちらもバウチャーに暖かいコーヒー紅茶用意してあると書かれていたにも関わらずキンキンに冷えた水。
天気はだれのせいでもないのだが極寒で、ピックアップの車も冷房がすごく、終始震えていました。
1番に終わったのでその後最後の方々が終わるまで酷い船揺れの中ひたすら待っていた。
シュノーケリングもできるよと言われたがそれどころではない。
シーボブも15分回れると書いてあったにもかかわらず10分もなかった。
貴重な体験を出来たと思うし海の中は綺麗で海亀も会えました。
しかし天気に左右されまくったので写真代別でこの値段は高すぎると同じ日本人参加者と話していました。

great time and great fun. one of the best things to do in hawaii. saw sea turtles and even was allowed to hold an octopus. the workers had our safety in mind the entire time. great fun. a must do on hawaii. thanks for the memories.

What a great time! Not scary at all. We got awesome video! Definetly a must!

Organized, fun crew. Eight 8-10 foot Galapagos Sharks. Really exciting experience!

I had done the Sea Walker in Guam before, but it was my first experience with the new underwater scooter, and it was fun. It was amazing.

以前グアムでシーウォーカーをやった事はあったのですが新しい水中スクーターは初めての体験で楽しかったです。
最高でした。

I was worried about waking up early for our second day in Hawaii, but we made it onto the bus without any issues! Since it can be quite physically demanding, I recommend having at least a little breakfast before heading out.

We started snorkeling when we spotted a group of dolphins, but they disappeared quickly, so we returned to the boat and moved to another location. We repeated snorkeling a total of three times where the dolphins were. The kids, who had only interacted with dolphins at places like Sea Life Park, were extremely excited to see them swimming so close by.

After the dolphins, we snorkeled at a spot with honu (sea turtles) and fish. The honu came so close that the kids were thrilled once again. We brought a waterproof camera, so even now, the kids look at the photos of the dolphins and honu and reminisce about the experience. They still cherish the stuffed animals we received.

Swimming against the waves can be tiring, but it was a pleasant fatigue. Watching the sunrise from the ocean and having such wonderful experiences made it all worthwhile.

If I have the chance again, I would love to enroll in college.

ハワイ２日目の朝早くの出発で起きられるのか心配でしたが、無事にバスに乗車！
かなり体力を消耗するので、少しでも朝食を取っていった方が良いと思います。

イルカのグループがいたのでシュノーケリング開始しましたが、あっという間にいなくなりボートへ戻り移動。またイルカがいるところでシュノーケリングを合計３回繰り返しました。すぐ近くをイルカたちが泳ぎ、シーライフパーク等でイルカに触れ合った位しかしたことがない子供たちは大興奮でした。
イルカの後はホヌや魚がいるスポットでシュノーケリング。こちらでもホヌが触れるくらい近くまで来て、またも子供たちは大興奮でした。防水カメラを持参していったので、今でも子供たちはイルカやホヌの写真を見ては思い出に浸っています。いただいたぬいぐるみは今でも大切にしています。

波に逆らって泳いだりして疲れますがそれは心地よい疲労感で、海から朝日を見たり素敵な体験をしたので参加してよかったと思います。

また機会があったら大学へ入学したいと思います。

Honestly, I feel a strong sense of disappointment. We moved from the meeting point to the office and watched an explanatory video. Up to that point, everything was fine, but after that, we waited about an hour for the boat to go out to sea. There was no explanation, and we just waited. Finally, when the boat arrived and we thought we were going out to sea, we just boarded another boat that had already gone out. On that boat, there was still no explanation, and we were made to wait for over an hour… and in the end, I got seasick. I ended up experiencing the underwater scooter while not feeling well.

By the way, there were about ten Japanese people on board with us, and almost everyone was struggling with seasickness; they all looked very uncomfortable. I definitely recommend that anyone participating in the future take measures against seasickness!

正直、残念という想いが強いです。
集合場所からオフィスまで移動し説明ビデオを観賞。ここまでは良かったのですが、その後は海にでる船を待つこと約1時間。なんの説明もなく、ただただ待つだけ。やっと船が来て海に出たと思ったら、先に海に出ていた船へ乗船するだけ。その船でもまったく説明がないまま、さらに1時間以上待たされ…あげくのはてに船酔い。体調が優れないまま水中スクーターを体験するという結果になりました。
ちなみに一緒に乗船していた中に日本の方が10名ほどおりましたが、ほぼ全員の方が船酔いとの闘いで、皆さんもとて辛そうでした。
ぜひ今後、参加される方は必ず船酔い対策をし参加されることをおすすめします‼

Every member of the staff is polite. They're aim is that guest have an exciting, fun, safe time. It is all very entertaining and educational. The Atlantis experience is highly recommended .

I was excited to see the morning whales and set out. It was drizzling a bit, but I boarded the ship. First, we had a morning brunch (buffet), which felt a little lacking. When we arrived along the coast of Diamond Head, I got my camera ready and waited. However, unfortunately, the boat returned. They said they would give us a free ticket to try again during the period, but I can't stay in Hawaii that long. I'll try again next year!

朝鯨がみれるとワクワクでかけました
小雨ぱらついていましたがいざ乗船
最初にモーニングランチ（バイキング）少し物足りない感じ
ダイアモンドヘッド沿岸に到着いざカメラを構え待機
でもあられず(; ;)ﾎﾛﾎﾛ船は戻りました
期間中の再挑戦無料チケットをくばりますといわれましたが
そんなにハワイにいれない
来年再度挑戦(*^o^*)

The transportation was smooth, and despite the strong winds, the boat didn't sway much, which was great. However, unfortunately, we weren't able to see any whales.

送迎もスムーズで船も風が強かったにも関わらずあまり揺れることなく良かったです。ただ、残念ながらクジラを見ることが出来きませんでした。

My 5-year-old nephew also participated. (The accompanying fee was a bit high...) We were able to play at the Kaizan Bar as if we had it all to ourselves. After this, we joined other underwater scooter participants by boat, and my nephew stayed on the boat while the three of us went diving. The clarity of the ocean was amazing. Each diver was with us, so it was completely not scary. By shaking a net filled with bread underwater, a huge number of fish gathered around us. A photographer took underwater photos for us (for a fee, and later, the photos will be sent via email. You can choose between videos and photos), so there’s no need to bring an underwater camera. While waiting on the boat, my nephew also got some bread and was allowed to feed the fish. Snacks and water are available freely. However, since you might get hungry, I recommend bringing some light snacks.

5歳の甥っ子も一緒に参加しました。(同行料金にしては高い。。。)
カイサンドバーで、貸切のような形で、遊べました。
この後、ボートで他の水中スクーター参加者と合流し、甥っ子は、ボートでお留守番させ、三人で潜りました。海の透明度すごいかったです。
一人ずつ、ダイバーがついてくれるので全く怖くありません。
水中で、パンの入った網をゆすることで、ものすごい勢いで魚たちが集まってきます。
カメラマンが水中写真を撮ってくれるので(有料で、のちほど、写真がメールで送られてきます。動画と写真選べます。)水中カメラを持っていく必要はありません。
ボートで待っている間、甥っ子もパンをもらい、えさやりをさせてもらいました。
スナック菓子と水は自由に頂けます。
しかし、お腹がすくので、軽食を持っていくことをおすすめします。

I participated with my elementary and middle school children. Although we had touched dolphins a little during the dolphin show, we had never experienced swimming with them or kissing them, so both the children and adults who participated were very satisfied.

小学生と中学生の子どもと参加しました。
イルカショーで少しタッチした事はあっても、泳いだりキスしたりなどなどの経験はなかったので参加した子どもも大人も大満足でした。

Magnifica mini crociera su catamarano, splendida esperienza e vista magnifica su diamond head e waikiki beach. Fantastico!!!

I participated with friends and family. The reservation process was smooth, and I had some questions that were easily addressed with direct inquiries at the location. The polite email correspondence was also very helpful. Upon arrival, my reservation information was already registered, so I was called by name and could start the experience right away. I would like to use this service again when I visit Hawaii.

友人と家族とで参加してきました。
予約もスムーズで不明点がありまして
現地へ直接の問い合わせもスムーズでまた丁寧にメールでのやりとりも助かりました。
現地でも予約情報が登録してありましたので名前を呼ばれてすぐに体験できました。
またハワイに行く際は利用したいと思います。

We participated as a couple. We boarded the boat with a mix of skepticism and high expectations about what we would see. Every time someone shouted, there was a commotion and movement, which was a bit tiring... but we did see it. Just when we thought we might not see anything, we spotted the tail... Unfortunately, we couldn't see the large body, but the view of Honolulu Beach from the sea was breathtaking. I would like to participate again during a better season.

夫婦二人で参加しました。どのくらい見えるのか、半信半疑も期待大で乗船しました。誰かが叫ぶたびにどよめきと移動で少々くたびれましたが・・・見えたんです。もう駄目かなと思っていたときに尾びれが・・・残念ながら大きなからだの部分は見えませんでしたが、海から眺めるホノルルビーチの風景は絶景でした。また季節の良い時に参加したいと思います。

At 58 years old, I experienced snorkeling for the first time. I put on a wetsuit over my swimsuit, wore a life jacket, added fins, and attached the snorkel for mouth breathing. Everything was new to me, and then I dove into the sea. The blue sky, the blue ocean, and the crystal-clear water stretched as far as I could see, and there I was with dolphins. Not just a few, but dozens of them were swimming around me, right below and beside me, so close I could almost reach out and touch them. I was unbelievably excited and moved. I also made friends with the other participants, and we all had a great time together, laughing and enjoying ourselves on this wonderful tour. I participated with my husband and sister, and even though my sister visits Hawaii more than twice a year, it was her first time seeing dolphins, and she was thrilled to have such a precious experience. She was so moved that at 65, she was wearing a swimsuit and jumping into the ocean. I felt the same way; it was refreshing and incredibly healing. The blue ocean of Hawaii, the school of dolphins, the smiles of the participants, Julie's bright and fun personality, the photographer swimming like a mermaid, and the captain in a red T-shirt who suited the role perfectly—all the cheerful and fun staff made it the best memory of Hawaii. The dolphin experience was the highlight. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you to all the staff. I gained the energy to tackle work and house chores after returning to Japan. I want to brag to my friends about this. It’s a lifelong memory.

私 58才にして、初めてシュノーケリングを体験しました。水着の上にウエットスーツ、ライフジャケットを付け、足ヒレも付け、シュノーケルを付け口呼吸 すべてが初めての事で、いざ海にダイブ。青い空、青い海、どこまでも見渡せる透明度の海、その中に私とイルカがいました。何頭ではなく何十頭も泳いでいて、私の泳いでいるすぐ下にも、横にもイルカが、すぐ手の届く所にいるなんて、信じられないくらい興奮し感動しました。一緒に参加した人達とも仲良くなれて、みんなでワイワイ、ガヤガヤ、ノリノリでとても楽しいツアーでした。私は夫と姉と三人で参加しましたが、姉は年に2回以上はハワイに来てるのに、イルカを見に行ったのは初めてと、貴重な体験をしたと、とても喜んでいました。まさか65才になって水着を着て、海に飛び込むとはと、すっごく感動してました。私も同じ気持ちで、心が洗われ、とても癒されました。ハワイの青い海、イルカの群れ、参加した人達の笑顔、ジュリさんの明るく楽しいキャラ、カメラマンさんの人魚みたいに泳ぐ姿、赤Ｔシャツがよく似合うキャプテン、みなさん陽気で楽しいスタッフに恵まれ、最高に楽しいハワイの思い出となりました。イルカ中学最高でした。又ぜひ参加したいと思います。スタッフのみなさんありがとうございました。また日本に帰ってからの仕事、家事、頑張れる元気もらいました。友達に自慢したいと思います。一生の思い出です。

The underwater scooter was really great! They made an effort to gather fish by scattering food just before we went in, and they took pictures of us as a couple, which I think will create really fun memories (^^)♪ However, other aspects were lacking...

First, most of the staff didn't speak Japanese, so even when I wanted to confirm something, it was difficult to communicate. Also, I wasn't offered any light snacks, and I ended up not knowing where they were located. The explanation for the stand-up paddleboarding was just "You paddle while standing," and then we were left to figure it out on our own. It seems that aside from the underwater scooter, everything else was treated as just a way to pass the time. Considering that, I think it's an expensive option.

Also, it was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is definitely necessary! I was confident that I wouldn't get seasick, but I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life (^^;

水中スクーターは本当によかったです！
直前にエサをまくなど魚を集める工夫をしてくれたりカップルだと
並んで写真を撮ってくれたり本当に楽しい思い出になると思います（＾＾）♪
ですがそれ以外が・・・
まずスタッフがほとんど日本語が通じなく確認したいことがあっても
なかなか通じなく困りました
あと軽食などいっさいすすめられることなく結局どこにあったも分からずじまいで
スタンドアップパドルボートも「立って漕ぐんだよ」ぐらいの説明であとは放置でした
結局水中スクーター以外は時間つぶしのおまけ的な扱いなのでしょう
そう考えると高いオプションだと思います
あとすごく揺れるので酔い止めは絶対必要です！！
絶対に酔わない自信があったのですが人生で初船酔いを体験しました（＾＾；

1st time to Hawaii and was a little disappointed had to cancel our whale watching trip the 1st time but was able to reschedule before we left. We saw one whale but wasn't fast enough to get a picture. Just saw a little bit of the hump and tail. But we had fun while we could.

This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done… it's a must bucket list item. It is like you are transported to another world and underwater world and I got to see fish, turtles, sting rays - just amazing - you won't regret it. Thanks to the whole team, they made is such a fun experience.

First of all, I would like to thank all the staff who took care of us!
On the day of the event, the weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the breeze on the boat was pleasant.
I was able to see the honu (sea turtles) coming up for air multiple times, which was enjoyable in itself.
When the sun went down, it felt a bit chilly in the water, so it was a good decision to borrow a wetsuit.
In the morning bus, our guide Julie cheerfully shared important information and details about Oahu, and what stood out to me was that dolphins have developed ultrasonic communication to convey their feelings.
When we arrived at the spot where the dolphins were, we entered the water and saw the dolphins in the distance!
We moved towards the direction of the dolphins with the other participants, but I was lagging behind and felt like crying inside, wanting to swim with the dolphins!! Just then, dolphins started coming towards us from behind!
I was truly moved to be so close that I thought I might touch them!
After that, dolphins swam slowly towards us from all directions, and later I heard there were about 70 of them.
I heard their squeaky sounds multiple times, and their spinning and belly-up courtship poses were absolutely adorable.
Since they are wild animals, I thought I would be happy just to see a few from a distance, so I was beyond happy.
For those who are not confident swimmers, there were floatation devices available for rent, and those who used them were able to move ahead without any issues.
The photos I posted were taken with my inexpensive underwater camera, but the professional photographer took even more beautiful shots, including some from deeper dives, so I think those who bring their own cameras will be satisfied with their purchases.
If you have the opportunity, making a video would be interesting as you can listen to the squeaky sounds and the clicking sounds, which are ultrasonic and hard for humans to hear.
Lastly, I want to thank Julie for the heartfelt send-off, as well as the powerful and warm captain, the cheerful photographer, and all the staff!
I definitely want to participate again!

まずお世話になったスタッフの皆さん、どうもありがとうございました！
参加当日は天気が良く波も穏やかで船上での風も心地よかったです。
何度も息継ぎをするホヌを見掛ける事が出来、それだけでも楽しかったです。
陽が陰ると海の中では肌寒く感じたのでウエットスーツを借りて正解でした。
朝のバス内ではガイドのジュリさんが明るく注意事項やオアフ島の事など教えて下さり中でも印象的だったのがイルカは超音波が発達していて気持ちが伝わるとの事でした。
いざイルカのいる地点に到着し海に入ると遠くからイルカ達が…！
参加者の方々とイルカのいる方向へ進んで行くのですが思う様に進めず一人どんどん遅れてしまい半泣き状態でイルカさん達と泳ぎたいよー！！と心の中で叫んでいたら私の後ろの方からもイルカ達がこちらに向かって水面へ近付いてきてくれました(;_;)
触れてしまうのではないかと思う位の距離に本当に感動しました！
その後も四方八方からイルカ達がゆっくり泳いできてくれて後で聞くと70頭位だったそうです。
キューキューと鳴く声が何度も聞こえ、ぐるぐるスピンする姿やお腹を真上に泳ぐ求愛ポーズなど本当に愛らしいです。
自然の生き物なので、せめて何匹か遠目でも見る事が出来ればなぁと思っていたので言葉に出来ない位に幸せでした。
泳ぎが苦手な方は浮き具の貸し出しもあり利用されていた方はどんどん先に進んでらしたので問題ないと思います。
投稿写真は私の安い水中カメラで撮ったものですが当日カメラマンさんが撮ってくれている写真はもっと綺麗で深く潜った所からのショットもありカメラ持参の方が購入しても満足出来ると思います。
余裕があればムービーにするとキューキューと鳴く声や後で調べた所、人には聞こえ辛いカタカタッとしたクリック音と言う別の超音波も後で聞き直せるので面白いと思います。
最後にお別れの時まで心のこもったお見送りをして下さったジュリさんを始めパワフルであったかいキャプテン、明るくフォローして下さったカメラマンさんやスタッフの皆さんありがとうございました！
是非また参加したいです！

When I booked the Early Bird Whale Watch Cruise for the 15th April, it was my only opportunity to possibly see some whales. I knew it was the last day of the Star of Honolulu Whale Watch Cuises and I may not necessarily see any whales, and unfortunately we didn't. But that didn't stop me from having an absolutely wonderful time. There were not may 'tourists' on this cruise, probably because it was the end of the season, and we were allowed to wonder about the boat freely. The staff were very informative, and really made us all feel very welcome. I spent my time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos and talking to other tourists and staff. It was a beautiful sunny day, though a bit windy. To be out on the water on such a beautiful day with some fantastic people was a joy. It was a disappointment we didn't see whales, but a gamble I took when booking. The company guarantees you will see whales, in the event that you dont, they give vouchers for a free cruise, valid for 12 months.
Next time I go to Oahu it will be in January, and I can redeem the free cruise voucher.
I would recommend the Star of Honolulu whale watch cruises, the ship is beautiful and clean, the staff are fantastic, and the scenery is beautiful.

It was a more enjoyable attraction than I had expected! I was also moved by the efforts to protect coral, which takes a long time to grow. Fortunately, a large sea turtle was swimming right beside me.

期待していた以上に楽しいアトラクションでした！
成長にとても時間のかかる珊瑚を守る活動にも感動しました。
ラッキーなことに、大きな海ガメがすぐそばを泳いでいました。

I participated with my 4-year-old son a year and a half ago. He was really looking forward to touching the dolphins, but he was very nervous since he was the first one. In the end, he couldn't kiss the dolphin, but overall it was an enjoyable tour. I hope to participate again when my still-small daughter grows up.

1年半前に4歳の息子と2人で参加しました。
イルカを触れるのをとても楽しみにしていた息子でしたが、
トップバッターだったためか大緊張。
結局イルカにキスはできなかった息子でしたが、
全体的には楽しめたツアーでした。
またまだ小さい娘が大きくなったら参加したいと思っています。

Great family activity for all ages. The naturalist on the boat was very nice and obviously loves his job. He was very knowledgeable and was very funny as well. Even though it was almost the end of the season 4/1 we did see several whales. The boat was very smooth sailing and the lunch buffet was nice. Nice way to start out a vacation after a long day of travel.

This was amazing. My whole family including my 15 year old says it was the best thing we did in Hawaii. Guides were great and loved what they do. We even saw whales on the way home and they tried to get us close to them for pictures. Fabulous time!

The dolphins are very cute, and the interaction time went by in a flash. The staff in the pool only speak English, but there is an explanation provided in advance by a staff member who can speak Japanese, so there are no issues at all. I had a very enjoyable time.

You will have to wait quite a while until it's time to leave. The park is smaller than it looks on the map, so you can't spend too much time there. If the weather is bad, you might get cold, so I think it's essential to have a change of clothes or something to wear over your outfit.

You can purchase photos with the dolphins, but they might be a bit too expensive. It would be great if they were a little more reasonable.

イルカはとても可愛く、ふれあいの時間はあっというまでした。プール内のスタッフは英語のみですが事前に日本語が話せるスタッフから説明もありますし、全く問題ありません。とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

帰りの時間までは結構待ちます。パーク内はマップで見てたより狭く、時間はあまり潰せません。天気が悪い日なら身体も冷えてしまうので着替えや羽織るものは必須だと思います。
イルカとの写真は購入できますが、高すぎるかな。もうすこしリーズナブルだとありがたいです。

I felt sleepy while gathering at 6:05 AM. Since there was an explanation on the bus, I couldn't sleep. I had to pay close attention to this explanation. Also, I recommend having breakfast beforehand! It requires a lot of energy, and I felt quite exhausted. I took motion sickness medication at the hotel, so I didn't get seasick.

I was worried because it had rained all day the previous day, but it was sunny on the day of the trip! There was an explanation that we wouldn't necessarily see wild dolphins 100% of the time, and I was excited while on the boat!

It seems there were nine boats out at sea that day, but we had a hard time finding dolphins. We ended up going to see sea turtles first. Jumping into the sea was thrilling!

We quickly encountered sea turtles and saw them three times; one of them was a large 70-year-old male, which was impressive. The guide mentioned that male turtles are rare. Their breathing poses are so cute! The sea and the fish were very beautiful.

Once we got back on the boat, we received information that dolphins had been found, which was a relief. We moved to search for dolphins and found them!

Wild dolphins pass by in an instant, so it's best to pay attention to the guide's signals. We were able to see a few swim below us and spotted some jumping in the distance.

We moved several times and snorkeled in areas where dolphins might be, so by the end, I was quite exhausted, but it was a lot of fun and a unique experience! I think it was the right choice to do this on the last day since it requires a lot of energy.

All the staff were very nice, and I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii and create wonderful memories.

朝6:05集合のため、眠たいまま集合する感じでした。バスの中では説明があるので、眠ることは出来ません。この説明はしっかり聞いておかなきゃです。
あと、朝食はとっておくことをオススメします！かなり体力を使うので、フラフラになりました。ホテルで酔い止めを飲んでいたので、船酔いはしませんでした。
前日が１日中雨だったので心配でしたが、当日は晴天(*^^*)野生のイルカは100％見れるわけではないと説明があり、ドキドキしながら船上！
当日は全体で９隻海に出でいたらしいのですが、なかなかイルカが見つからず(>_<)先に海ガメに行くことになりました。
海に飛び込むときは、ドキドキ！！
すぐに海ガメと遭遇出来き、３回も会えて、そのうち一匹は70歳のオスで大きくて感動(^-^)vオスは珍しいとガイドさんの説明がありました。息継ぎする姿が可愛い‼
海もお魚もとてもキレイでした。
一旦、船に上がるとイルカがが見つかったと情報があり一安心。
イルカを探しに移動して、発見！
野生のイルカは一瞬で通り過ぎてしまうので、ガイドさんの合図を聞き逃さないようにした方がいいです。
下を何頭か通り過ぎたり、遠目でジャンプしたのを見ることが出来ました(^-^)
何度か移動して、イルカのいそうなところでシュノーケリングするので最後はフラフラになりますが、とっても楽しめてなかなか出来ない体験！
かなり体力も使うので、最終日にして正解だったと思います。
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方で、ハワイを満喫出来いい思い出が作れました。

I was looking forward to whale watching! I was worried about whether I would actually see a whale, but I was able to see them properly. I saw a mother and calf whale.

After that, a few more showed up, but they were quite far away, just showing a bit of their bodies above the surface, and there wasn't the big splash I was hoping for. However, the scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the cruise, so I was very satisfied.

I want to see a whale make a big splash someday, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again.

楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング！クジラが実際に見られるか不安でしたがちゃんと見ることできました。
親子クジラ見えました。
その後も何頭か姿を見せてくれましたが、距離的には遠く水面から少し胴体を出すくらいで、期待していた胴体を水面にザッパーンとかはありませんでした。
ですが、景色も素晴らしかったしクルーズとしても楽しめたので大満足でした。

いつかザッパーンするクジラが見たいのでハワイに行く機会があったら是非また参加したいと思います。

My wife and I decided to go whale watching and the first time out we did not see any whales. However, they have a guarantee so we went out a second time a few days later and saw lots of whales. It was fun and exciting. It was really enjoyable and the cruise back to Honolulu was relaxing. I would recommend this to anyone and I would definitely do this whale watching cruise again.
