Whale watching in heavy rain. 豪雨の中のホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: FOO

In February, known as the rainy season, I participated in my first whale watching cruise. After doing some research, I found that larger boats tend to sway less, which is reassuring for those prone to seasickness, so I signed up for this one. Since I am prone to motion sickness, I made sure to have a hearty breakfast before boarding, opting for a simple plan without breakfast.

On the day of the cruise, there was an unexpected heavy rain that surprised even the locals, but since there was no cancellation notice, we headed to the meeting point. However, after being taken to the port by bus, the tour guide strangely walked at the back of the line, leaving those of us at the front unsure of where to go in the rain. Once on board, no one provided any guidance (or any explanation at all), which led to people mistakenly going to the wrong deck or stopping confused near the entrance. Even after entering the ship, breakfast began without any proper explanation, so those on the no-breakfast plan were probably eating on their own.

I felt a bit nauseous from the smell of food around me, so I went out to the deck to look at the sea as soon as we set sail. Just listening to the announcements from the naturalist was enjoyable. The sea was quite rough with whitecaps, and even when the captain and naturalist announced they spotted a whale, it was honestly difficult for amateurs like us to see. If the weather had been clear and the sea calm, it might have been easier to spot them. It was disappointing, but since the weather and whale appearances are left to chance, I’ve come to accept it. Now I have a reason to try again someday.

However, I can't help but feel that if the care before and after boarding had been a bit more thorough, my overall satisfaction would have been much higher, leaving me with a sense of regret.

雨季と言われる2月、初めてのホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。
色々と調べた結果、酔いやすい人は大きな船の方が揺れが少なくて安心、と見たのでこちらに申し込みました。酔いやすいので朝ごはんもしっかり食べてから乗船しましたので、朝食も無しのシンプルプランで。

当日は現地の方も驚く豪雨でしたが、欠航の連絡もないのでひとまず集合場所へ。
しかしバスで港まで連れて行かれた後、添乗員の方は何故か列の最後方を歩いており、先頭あたりにいた私たちは、雨の中どこへ向かえばいいのかも分からず…
乗船後も誰も案内（というか一切の説明）をしてくれないので、間違ったデッキに上がってしまったり、訳が分からず入り口付近で立ち止まってしまう人ばかり。
船内に入った後も、特にちゃんとした説明もないまま朝食が始まったので、おそらく朝食無しプランの方も勝手に食べていたのではないでしょうか。

私は周囲の食事の臭いで酔いそうだったので、出港早々デッキに出て海を眺めていましたが、Naturalistのお姉さんのアナウンスを聞いているだけでも楽しかったです。
さすがに海は荒れて白波が立っており、CaptainやNaturalistの方がクジラを見つけたとアナウンスしてくれても、正直素人には発見は難しかったです。晴れて海面が穏やかなら、もう少し探しやすかったのでしょうか。
残念でしたが、お天気とクジラの出現は運任せですので、仕方なかったかなと諦めています。いつか再挑戦する名目ができました。

ただ乗船前後のケアがもう少ししっかりしていたら、全体的な満足度はもっと高かったんじゃないかと思うと、こちらは悔しい思いが残りました。

My first whale watching experience. 人生初のホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: きむちゃん

I participated in a whale watching plan that included breakfast and hotel transfers! To be honest, the breakfast was not great, but it was nice to have the opportunity to eat breakfast on the sea, so I’m glad I included it. The inside of the boat was air-conditioned and a bit chilly, so it's better to bring a jacket. As for the whale watching, I saw a few whale spouts, but I didn’t actually see any whales. Since it’s nature, there’s nothing that can be done about that. However, I was satisfied with the cruise as I could leisurely enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat!

朝食付きのホエールウォッチング、ホテルからの送迎付きのプランに参加しました！朝食は正直いまいちですが、海の上で朝食を食べる機会はそうそうないので朝食を付けて良かったです。船内は冷房が効いていて肌寒かったので、上着を持っていったほうが良いですね。肝心のホエールウォッチングですが、数回クジラの潮吹きが見れましたが、クジラは見れませんでした。。自然のことなので、こればかりは仕方ないですよね。船の上からゆっくりとワイキキの街並みやダイアモンドヘッドが見れたのでクルーズとしては満足でした！

After all... やっぱり・・・

Reviewed by: MISA

I used this service with my mother. We opted for the premium course that included lunch, but unfortunately, the food was not very good for the price we paid, which was disappointing.

Additionally, while it was said that we could experience various activities, I couldn't understand the explanations about the whales since I don't speak English. The only information provided was a paper outlining the day's schedule, which wasn't very detailed.

There were no signals for when things were supposed to start, so I felt like I had to keep checking the time and act on my own. Many people also experienced seasickness, and overall, it was an activity that I wouldn't want to do again.

母親と利用させて頂きました。
ランチ付きのプレミアムコースにしましたが、まずは、食事が値段の割にはあまり良いものがなく、残念でした。
また、色々な体験が出来るとの事でしたが、英語が分からないのでクジラの説明も分からず、説明の紙も１日の流れが書いてあるのみで、あまり詳しく書いてありませんでした。
全て、始まる合図等ないので、時計を見て自身で行動する感じです。
船酔いの人もとても多く、もう一度利用したいとは思わなかったアクティビティでした。

Due to the timing or weather, we were able to see the whales, but only for a brief moment as they surfaced. I think it also depends on luck, so we were just enjoying the cruise experience in the meantime.

時期的か天候の為かクジラは見えましたが背中が一瞬見える程度でした。運もあると思いますので僕たちはクルーズ気分を味わうついでにって感じでした。

I was unable to encounter any whales. クジラには遭遇出来ませんでした。

Reviewed by: ミッキー

Unfortunately, I could only see a glimpse of the whale's tail spouting water from a distance, and that was it. Before disembarking, I received a ticket for free boarding on a later date as a form of recovery response. I believe the recovery ticket had a validity of about three months, but I didn't have the time to use it during my stay.

残念ながら、遠くで潮を吹いたクジラの尾びれが少しだけ見えましたが、それだけでした。
下船前の船内で、翌日以降に無料で乗船できるチケットをもらい、一応のリカバリー対応はありました。
リカバリーチケットは3カ月程度の有効期限が有ったと思いますが、滞在中に時間が取れず利用はしませんでした。

Reviewed by: 花★花

It was my first time going whale watching. I joined with the mindset that it would be lucky if I got to see any, but I was able to see them multiple times. I learned that whales surface for air about once every 15 minutes, so once we spotted one, we could see it several times. It was a bit far away, but it was incredibly impressive. I'm glad I participated.

生まれて初めてのホエールウォッチング。見れたらラッキー程度の気持ちで参加しましたが、何回も見ることができました。
クジラは息継ぎの為に15分に１度くらいで浮上してくるそうなので、一度見つけたら何回も見ることができました。

I was hoping to see maybe a blow or just a brief glimpse of a whale but we saw a whale show like I could never imagined. They called it the running of the bulls and it was whales breaching the water together jumping and showing off like they new we were there to see them. Breakfast was good a few more options for the price would have been appreciated, maybe bacon, potatoes, or some veggies and cheese to go with the scrambled eggs.

Reviewed by: るぅたん

The day before was rainy, and there were strong winds on the day itself, so I understood to some extent, but I was unable to see any whales. The sea was rough, and even though it was a large ship, it was rolling and certainly not in a comfortable environment.

I understand that nature is unpredictable, so I can accept not seeing anything, but it left me feeling dissatisfied that there was no interaction at all on the ship or the return bus before we parted ways.

I at least wanted a word of acknowledgment.

前日雨、当日強風という日でしたのですある程度理解はしていましたが、クジラは見る事ができませんでした。
海はシケていたので、大型船ですがうねりながらと決して快適とも言えない環境でした。

見れなかったことに対しても自然が相手だからわかりますが、船でも、帰りのバスでも全く触れないまま解散と、なんだか不満だけが残りました。

せめて、ひと言欲しかったです。

My family went on this amazing trip expecting to see whales spray and slap their tails against the water. We did get that and so much more. We got to see at least two whales breaching numerous times and just playing, diving in and out of the water. It was so incredible. That early wake up was 100% worth it. The boat was very spacious and I really enjoyed the ride. The crew narrator was very informative and the whole crew, especially the captain were very professional. Highly recommend this outing.

Reviewed by: Christina Wyatt

It was our first activity as soon as we got off our flight. Even though we had jet lag after a 6 hour flight we had the time of my life. My husband and I have never done a dinner cruise before. He is scared of water and gets sea sick fast. From the time we stepped foot on the boat we were greeted, seated quickly, music and entertainment was great, and Marissa our waitress was superb; we loved her and the guitarist they both were totally cool. Everything they brought out was very flavorful, the lobster was succulent not rubbery, steak cooked perfectly, and dessert was delicious. The drinks were also very good especially the blue Hawaiian; it was perfecto. We did not think we would be able to eat everything they were putting in front of us but they gave us just enough time in between each course that made it easier. When it came for the dessert I was so full I didnt think I could eat another bite. We thought we would just take one bite. You know just to try it but as soon as we took one bite it was just too good we both ended up eating it all. At the end they had everyone dancing it was a very fun and delicious experience.

This is completely unacceptable. It's understandable that we couldn't see any whales, but the complete lack of announcements was extremely unkind. The worst! When I called to reboard, the rude response from the Japanese staff was the lowest! If there was even one thing to praise, I would mention it, but there is absolutely nothing, only criticism! I am very disappointed.

全く話にならない。クジラは見られなかったのは、そういうのはしょうがない事だが、アナウンスが全くなくて、不親切極まりない。最低！電話で再乗船申し込みをしたら日本人の感じの悪い対応は最低！一つでも褒める事があれば書くけど、全くなくて貶すだけ！非常に残念に思う。
