All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

It was a very enjoyable tour, but I think it depends on the weather! Since the weather wasn't very good, the sea looked beautiful and white whenever the sun peeked out. I was very satisfied to see three sea turtles while snorkeling!

とても楽しいツアーでしたが、お天気次第だと思います！
あまり天気が良くなかったので、たまにお日様が見えると海は白く綺麗です♪
シュノーケリングではウミガメに3匹も会えて大満足でした♪♪

This was my second time participating, and I had a great time. A friend who was joining for the first time also seemed to really enjoy it. The sandbar is beautiful no matter how many times you visit. I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises. Since it was my second time, I was also able to receive a small gift, which was nice.

2回目の参加でしたが、とても楽しく過ごせました。
初めての友人も一緒に参加しており、とても満喫した様子でした。
何度来ても綺麗なサンドバー。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
私は2回目の参加ということもあり、粗品も頂けたので良かったです。

I think this is all about luck. Just when we had given up on seeing whales today and were on our way back to the port, an American woman we had been talking with found a whale spouting in the distance! When we shouted, the boat went closer to the whale...

It's strange that even with more than ten crew members on deck standing by to look for whales, the crew couldn't find any. I hope the whale spotting crew will try a little harder next time!

こればかりは運だと思います。
もう今日はクジラは無理だとあきらめて港へ帰る途中に、私たちファミリーと
一緒にお話ししていたアメリカ人女性が遠くで潮を吹くクジラを見つけました！　私たちが声を上げたので、それから船がクジラの近くに行ってくれたりしましたが。。。

デッキ上にボートクルーも10人以上もクジラ探しでスタンバイしているのに
クルーがクジラを見つけられなかったのが不思議です。
次回はクジラ発見隊クルーにもうちょっと頑張ってほしいです！

This is a must-visit place when you go to Hawaii! The slides didn't have long lines, and I was able to ride all of them! They were thrilling slides that you won't find in pool facilities in Japan. The staff's response was really good as well. When I lost something, they helped me look for it until it was found. Since it's located in a vast area quite far from the airport, I recommend using a shuttle bus for those going there! It was really convenient to be dropped off right in front of the hotel!

ハワイに行ったら必ず行くべき場所です！スライダーも長時間並ぶことがなく、全てのスライダーを乗ることができました！日本のプール施設にはないようなスリル満点のスライダーばかりでした。またスタッフの方の対応が本当に良かったです。落とし物をした際に見つかるまで一緒に探してくださりました。空港近くのかなり郊外の広大な土地にあったので、行く方はバスの送迎をつけるのをオススメします！ホテルの前まで送迎してくれるのは、かなり楽でした！

Last year, a friend made a reservation with Beltora for me, and this time I booked it myself!

The sandbar had high water levels, so we couldn't walk on it, but the weather was perfect and we had a great time! Last year, I encountered a sea turtle swimming on the surface, and while I didn't see one this year, I was happy to spot two turtles stuck among the corals while snorkeling! Captain Bruce's staff are always polite and fun, and they clearly let you know when someone spots a sea turtle while snorkeling.

Regarding what to bring, most items available for rent on-site, except for wetsuits and snorkeling masks, are paid rentals, so I recommend bringing seasickness medication and anything else you're used to from Japan. I participated in February, which is the rainy season, but the day I went was sunny! However, the day before it rained heavily, so it's best to check the weather for your participation day. If there's a forecast for heavy rain, it can be too cold to enter the water, and of course, snorkeling wouldn't be possible, which would make spending time on the boat a waste of money. If you have a date with free cancellation and there's a clear heavy rain forecast, I recommend canceling.

The shuttle bus to the meeting place was over 10 minutes late for two consecutive years. This is common in Hawaii, so it's best to arrive early and wait for at least 15 minutes before the meeting time!

This time the weather was sunny, but there were occasional clouds, and the sea was constantly cold and shivering. When playing at the sandbar or snorkeling, it's recommended to leave valuables on the boat and minimize your belongings, bringing only a small amount of cash and your smartphone in a waterproof case.

This time, I added a photo session for an extra $80 because we struggled to take good pictures ourselves last year. The Japanese staff from Captain Bruce always provide fun explanations and host the event, and this time it was a male staff member who took photos in between activities. There were plenty of opportunities and timing for photos, but the technical skills were completely amateur, and I don't think it's worth the $80, so I would recommend skipping it. While I was very satisfied with Captain Bruce's tour itself, the photo session was just one staff member (an amateur) taking pictures with a good camera. Many photos were shadowy or unclear, which was disappointing.

I plan to go to Hawaii next year and the year after, and I intend to participate in Captain Bruce's tour each time, so I recommend booking with Beltora, who has great customer service! The photos I uploaded were taken with our own smartphones!

去年は友人がベルトラさんから予約してくれ、２回目の今回は自分でベルトラさんから予約しました！

サンドバーは水位が高く歩けませんでしたが、最高の天気で楽しかったです♪去年参加した際は水面を泳ぐ海ガメに出会えて、今年はいなかったですが、シュノーケリング中にサンゴに挟まってる海ガメを２匹見られて幸せでした♪キャプテンブルースはいつもスタッフが丁寧で楽しく、シュノーケリング中も誰かが海ガメを発見したら、分かりやすく教えてくれます♪

持ってきた方が良い物の記載で、現地貸し出し有りの物はウエットスーツとシュノーケリングマスク以外はほぼ有料レンタルなので、船酔いの為の酔い止めとか、日本で飲み慣れている物を持参する事をおススメします⭐︎私が参加した２月は雨季ですが、私の参加日は晴天でした♪でも前日はドシャ降りの大雨で催行だったので、参加日の天気は気にした方が良いです⭐︎大雨だと、海に寒過ぎて入れず、もちろんシュノーケリングも出来ないので、船の上で過ごすだけなのはお金が無駄過ぎます。無料キャンセル出来る日程であきらかに大雨予報であれば、キャンセルをおススメします。

集合場所へのお迎えのバスは２年連続10分以上遅れて来ました。ハワイあるあるなので、集合時間前に集合して、15分は待ちましょう！

今回は晴天でしたが、時々雲がかかり、海は常に冷たく震えてました。サンドバーで遊んだり、シュノーケリング中は荷物は船に置くので貴重品や荷物は少なくし、少しの＄とスマホ等を防水ケースに入れて身に付ける事をおススメします！

今回、プラス$80も付けてフォトセッション付きを申し込みました。去年自分達だけではうまく写真が撮れなかったからです。毎回キャプテンブルースの日本人スタッフが楽しい説明、司会進行してくれて、今回は男性で楽しかったのですが、その人が合間に撮影をするというものでした。写真を撮る時間やタイミングは沢山あったのですが、技術面が完全に素人で$80の価値は絶対にないので、申し込まない方が良いと思います。キャプテンブルースのツアー自体は本当に満足していますが、フォトセッションはいちスタッフ(素人)が良いカメラで撮るだけです。影だらけや誰か分からない写真が多く、残念でした。

来年も再来年もハワイに行く予定で、毎回キャプテンブルースのこのツアーに参加するつもりで、申し込みは対応が良いベルトラさんをおススメします♪アップした写真は自分達のスマホで撮影したぶんです！

I was really looking forward to it, as the brochures and TV commercials promised that we would see whales right in front of us... But when I strained my eyes, it was just barely visible from a distance. It didn't show up in the photos. Even when we spotted them far away, we didn't get any closer... and that was the end of it.

The staff were kind, but... while there may have been whales, considering the price, I was a bit disappointed.

パンフレットもテレビのコマーシャルも鯨が目の前で見られる様なものばかりですごーく楽しみにしていましたが…
目を凝らしてやっと…くらいの遠さ。
写真にはうつりませんでした。
遠くに見つけても近づいて行く事は無く…終了。

スタッフの方は親切でしたが…
確かに鯨は居たかもしれませんが…
お値段を考えるとちょっとガッカリでした。

I went on a weekday, and there were no wait times for attractions like the water slides at all. The water slides are located at a high position, so climbing the stairs was quite challenging. On the day I visited, it was less crowded than I expected, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time. I purchased a standard ticket, which included unlimited drinks, so I could go for drinks whenever I wanted, which was great. There was free time from 10:30 to 15:00, and it was enough time to have a fulfilling experience!

平日に行きましたが、ウォータースライダーなどのアトラクションの待ち時間は全くありませんでした。
ウォータースライダーは基本位置が高い場所にあるので、階段で登るのが結構大変でした。
私が行った日は、思っていた以上に閑散としていたので、ゆったりと過ごすことができました。スタンダードのチケットを購入しましたが、飲み物の飲み放題がついており好きな時間に飲み物を飲みに行けたのがよかったです。
10:30〜15:00まで自由時間でしたが、十分な時間で、充実した時間を過ごせました！

All the young men took very good care of my friend in a wheelchair. they made her feel welcomed. The dancers were grate and the food was fun (they could have done better on the desert). the food line went fast.
The bathrooms could have been a little better.

You can enjoy comfortable sailing while taking in the sunset and breeze in Honolulu.
It's very photogenic, so don't forget your camera.
There's also parking available at Hilton, making it convenient if you're renting a car.

It is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is in the heart of Waikiki. Since it was close to the hotel I was staying at, access was good. After enjoying a buffet dinner, we moved to the show venue. During dinner, there were hula dancers performing to ukulele music, and the menu featured dishes made with Hawaiian ingredients, allowing us to fully experience Hawaii. The staff who brought drinks and guided us to our seats danced energetically during the show, creating a very lively atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii.

ワイキキの中心地であるロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。宿泊していたホテルの近くだったのでアクセスが良かったです。ビュッフェディナーを食べてから、ショー会場へと移動します。ディナー中はウクレレに合わせてフラダンスを踊っていたり、メニューにもハワイの食材を使ったものが出ていたりハワイを存分に感じられました。ドリンクを運んでくれたり、席を案内してくれたスタッフが、ショーではキレキレに踊っていて、大変盛り上がりました。ハワイに行かれる方には是非オススメです。

The price is definitely not cheap, but it was a very impressive hula show! I reserved the best seats, so I was able to get priority guidance during entry and when going to get buffet food, which was great. There were also interactive moments where guests from the audience were invited onto the stage, and I had a lot of fun! The guidance is all in English, but I think you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand everything. The variety of buffet dishes is limited, but there were some traditional Hawaiian dishes that were surprisingly delicious! The drinks depend on the seat price, but we had two drinks included, and there were exchange tickets and a Japanese menu, which made it easy to understand.

If there's a little rain, the show will still go on, so I recommend checking the weather forecast. If it looks like rain, bring a raincoat or umbrella! Since it's outdoors, there’s no roof. When we arrived at the Hilton, there were many buildings, and I got lost not knowing which one was which, so I asked a staff member. We took the JCB pink trolley from Waikiki, and we could get off right in front on the way there, but on the way back, it didn’t stop anywhere near, and we ended up walking around and getting soaked in the rain, which was tough. On the way back, you can either walk about 10 minutes to the bus stop at Eggs 'n Things to catch the JCB pink trolley or take a $2.75 bus from a nearby stop. By the time the show ends, it gets dark around there, and recently the safety in Waikiki has been declining, so if you have a larger group, I recommend taking a taxi!

金額は決して安くないですが、とても迫力のあるフラショーでした♪私は１番良い席を予約したので、入場時やブッフェの料理を取りに行く際、優先的に案内してもらえて良かったです⭐︎ショーの中には客席からお客さんを舞台にあげ参加型の場面もあり、楽しめました♪案内は全て英語ですが、分からなくても楽しめると思います♪ブッフェ料理の種類は少ないですが、一部ハワイの伝統料理もあり、意外に美味しかったです！ドリンクは席の料金にもよりますが、私達は２杯ずつ付いていて、引き換え券もあり、日本語メニューもあり、分かりやすかったです⭐︎

多少の雨ならそのまま決行されるので、天気予報をチェックして、雨が降りそうなら、カッパか傘の持参をおススメします！野外なので、屋根がありません。行きはヒルトンに着いてから沢山の建物があり、どな建物か分からず迷い、係員に聞きました。ワイキキからJCBのピンクトロリー、行きは目の前で降りられましたが、帰りは目の前や近くも全然止まらず、歩き回って雨でビショ濡れになり大変でした。帰りはエッグスンシングスのバス停まで10分程歩いてJCBのピンクトロリーに乗るか、スグ近くのバス停から$2.75のバスに乗るか、終わる頃は周りが暗いし最近のワイキキは治安が悪くなってきてるので、人数が多いならタクシーをおススメします！

I'm grateful that the captain tells us which direction to look for the whales. In fact, there were several whales in that direction, but we could only see their dorsal fins, which was disappointing.

A small boat was quite close to the whales, so even though it was a bit rocky, being in a smaller boat might allow you to feel the size and power of the whales more.

Breakfast was delicious, but I felt it was a bit pricey for what you get...

クジラがいると船長さんが何時の方向に見えますと言ってくれるのでありがたいです。
実際その方向にクジラが何頭かいましたが背鰭しか見えず残念でした｡。

小さなボートがかなりクジラに接近していたので、揺れがキツくても小さなボートの方がクジラの大きさや迫力は感じられるかもしれません。

朝食は美味しかったですが、お値段の割にはお高く感じました…

This time it was rainy, so we couldn't see any whales. It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing we can do about it, but it's disappointing.

I'll try again next time.

今回は雨で、ホエールも観れませんでした。
自然なものなので仕方ありませんが、残念でした。

次回再チャレンジします。

I had a great time with the thrilling roller coaster-class attractions. However, it was disappointing and confusing that I couldn't buy a ticket for standing surfing without showing my passport, even though bodyboarding was okay. Who brings their passport to the pool?

ジェットコースタークラスのスリリングなアトラクションで、とても楽しめました。しかしボディーボードは、OK なのにスタンディングサーフィンするのにパスポートを提示しないとチケットが買えなかったので、残念だし意味がわからん。プールにパスポート持って行くやついるか？

I was assisted by Japanese staff! (There were multiple Japanese staff members.) They explained everything in detail in Japanese, and I had no difficulties at all!

日本人の方が対応してくださった！(複数人日本人の方がいました)
詳しくもちろん日本語で教えてくださり、何一つ不自由はなかったです！

I had participated before and was very satisfied at that time. I thought I would attend every year from then on, but this time was disappointing. I will honestly share my feelings with hopes for improvement.

- There was a mistake on the part of the organizer at the time of application, which caused a long wait at the reception on the day of the event. Despite arriving early, I was overtaken by people who came later.

- Michael was not there. From the comments, it seems that Michael's absence is not just on the day I attended, but it might be quite frequent? There are fans who go specifically to see Michael, and while there may be unavoidable reasons like illness, I think they should have a backup plan in place. I also find it concerning that there was no apology for Michael's absence.

- After finishing my meal, I went to the venue (2nd floor) early, but I was directed to a seat at the edge and could not choose my own. The seating was determined randomly based on the order of entry, and I was not allowed to change my seat. The woman who guided the seating was also quite overbearing.

- Compared to my previous visit, I felt that the overall level of the show had clearly declined, which was the most disappointing part. It seems that almost all the cast members, except for Presley, had changed, and the previous cast was at a higher level. The female singer was definitely better last time.

- There was a person in the front row who stood up and danced or shouted during the performance, and there was no intervention to stop them. Eventually, that person even got on stage. This was clearly a nuisance to other guests, and proper action should have been taken.

- Last time, the course dinner was very delicious, but honestly, the buffet was not good. Considering the price difference, I think the course dinner is better.

What I felt this time is that there can be hits and misses depending on the day or season. I had hoped it would be a show that could be enjoyed no matter when you go, which is disappointing.

以前参加したことがあり、その時は大満足でした。
その時、これからは毎年参加しようと思ったのですが、今回は残念でした。
改善の希望も込めて正直に感じたことを書きます。

・申込時ベルトラ側にミスがあり、そのせいで当日受付にすごく時間がかか
　った。早めに行ったにも関わらず、後から来た人にどんどん抜かされた。

・マイケルがいなかった。
　コメントを見ると、私が参加した日だけでなくマイケル不在は
　結構あることかも？マイケルファンでマイケル目当てに行く人もいるのに
　病気など仕方ない理由もあるでしょうが、代役など体制を整えるべきと
　思う。マイケルがいないことへのお詫びなど一切ないこともどうかと思う。

・食事を終え早めに会場(2階)へ行ったが、端っこの席を案内された、
　自分で席を選べなかった。会場へ入った順番で勝手に席が決まる、運次第、
　席の変更はして貰えなかった。席案内の女性の対応も高圧的でした。

・前回参加した時に比べ、全体的に明らかにショーのレベルが下がったと
　感じた、これが一番残念でした。
　恐らく、プレスリー以外前回とほぼ全員レベルでキャストが変わっていま
　したが　前回の方がレベル高かったです。
　女性シンガーも前回の方が断然上でした。

・ステージ前席のお客の中に、公演中立ち上がって踊ったり声を上げている人
　がいたが阻止等対応していなかった、しまいにその人はステージにまで
　上がっていました。明らかに他の客に迷惑です、ちゃんと対応するべき。

・前回はコースディナーでとてもおいしかったですが、ブッフェは正直おいし
　くなかったです。
　金額差を考えても、コースディナーの方がいいと思います。

今回感じたのは、行く日や時期によって当たり外れがあるなということ。
いつ行っても楽しめるショーであってほしかったです、残念。

According to the reviews, it seemed that only about 30% of people were able to see them, so I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out to be true. After that, I received advice that if I wanted to see whales, Maui or the Big Island would be better, and I thought it was rare to see them off the coast of Waikiki Beach on Oahu.

口コミ情報では約3割程度の人しかが観ることができたようでしたので、あまり期待はしていませんでしたが、その通りになってしまいました。その後クジラを観るなら、マウイ島かハワイ島が良いとアドバイスを受け、オアフ島のワイキキビーチの沖合で観えること自体が稀ではないかと思いました。

I parked at Pier 5.6 an hour ago, thinking there was a whale watching booth there, but it turned out that the Star of Honolulu was a five-minute walk from there, so I was cutting it close on time. The whale watching at Pier 5.6 is operated by a different company called Atlantis, so be careful about that. The parking fee is a maximum of $30, and I paid $27, so it wasn't much different. Once on board, we listened to the explanation and then went outside to look for whales, but in the end, we couldn't find any. The scenery was amazing.

1時間前からピア5.6の駐車場に停めてそこにもホエールウォッチングのブースがありそこかと思っていたらスターオブホノルルはそこから徒歩5分のところだったので時間ギリギリでした。
ピア5.6のホエールウォッチングはアトランティスという別会社なので注意が必要です。
駐車場はMAX 30ドルで、私は27ドルだったので対して変わりませんでした。いざ乗船して説明聞いてから外に出てクジラを探しましたが結局クジラはみつかりませんでした。景色は最高でした。

The meal was luxurious! The presentation of a whole roasted pig on a cart was impressive! After a photo session, we finally headed to the buffet. There was Hawaiian cuisine, fruits, of course the crispy-skinned roasted pig, roast beef, and desserts. At first, I thought there might not be enough variety, but once I started serving myself, I was completely full. The desserts were almost too much (since it's a buffet, you can go back for more).

The hula dance lesson that you can experience between meals and desserts was also interesting.

Finally, the show was truly entertaining and wonderful, and before I knew it, it was time to end.

食事は豪華！
ガラガラと台車に乗った仔豚の丸焼きの御披露目！それから写真撮影タイムを得て、いよいよビュッフェへ。ハワイアン料理やフルーツ、仔豚の丸焼きはもちろんパリパリの皮、ローストビーフ、デザートまでありました。初め品数が少ないかなと思いましたが、お皿に乗せてみる、そんなことなくお腹一杯になりました。デザートが苦しいくらいです（ビュッフェなので、料理はおかわりもできますよ）。
食事とデザートの合間に体験できるフラダンス講習も面白かったです。

最後にショーは皆さんが記載しているとおり、本当に面白く素晴らしく、あっという間に終了時刻となってしまいました。

It was a bit chilly with the wind, but as we started searching for the whales' spouts, we became so focused that it didn't matter anymore. As we ventured further out, we spotted the whales' tails and spouts! Everyone was moving from right to left, shouting excitedly. It was truly moving to see whales in this vast ocean.

少し風が冷たかったのですが、クジラの潮吹きを探し始めると必死になるため、そんなことは関係なくなってしまいました。沖に出るにつれてクジラの尾びれや潮吹きを見つけると！みんの右に左にと移動して、みんな声を出して騒いでいました。この広い海でクジラが見えるのは感動でした。

The weather was nice and sunny on the day, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. I was told there was a 95% chance of seeing them, which was disappointing. The interior of the boat was clean, the cocktails were delicious, and the scenery was beautiful.

当日は晴れて天候は良かったのですが、
ホエール見えず　見える確率95%と言われましたが残念でした。船内は綺麗でカクテルは美味景色も良かったです。

On the fourth day of my stay in Hawaii, I visited Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. When I arrived at the meeting place at the designated time, the driver was checking in guests. The shuttle bus did not have any logos for Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii.

We arrived in about 30 minutes, and while the park wasn't as large as I had imagined, that actually made it easier to get around without getting tired. The signature Tornado and water slides were, of course, fun, but I especially enjoyed trying the FlowRider with a bodyboard for the first time—it was a blast and I was very satisfied with the facility.

The attractions available inside the park seemed to be limited due to staffing, with different options available in the morning and afternoon. I recommend going back to enjoy the fun things you liked in the morning. If you opt for the all-you-can-drink or all-you-can-eat options, you show a paper wristband, but after a day of fun, it tends to get a bit worn out, so I think it's a good idea to hide it under the sleeve of your rash guard.

Having a pool experience in Hawaii was definitely a "yes" for me.

ハワイ滞在４日目にウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ訪問です。
集合時間に待ち合わせ場所に向かうと、ドライバーのおじさんが受け付けていました。送迎バスにウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイのロゴ等はありません。
３０分程で到着し、広さはイメージしたほどは広くなかったものの、かえってその方が移動に疲れずよかったです。
名物のトルネードやウォータースライダーももちろん楽しかったのですが、ボディーボードを使ったフローライダーが初挑戦ながらとても楽しく、大満足の施設でした。
館内の稼働施設は人員の関係なのか、午前と午後で遊べるものが限られます。
午前中に面白かったものはまたすぐに行く事をおすすめします。
ドリンク飲み放題や食べ放題をオプションでつけた場合は紙製のリストバンドを見せるのですが、一日遊んでいるとだんだんボロボロになってくるので、普段はラッシュガードの袖で隠すといいと思います。
ハワイに来てのプール、非常に『あり』でした。

I was happy to see the whale's spout and tail in the distance, but I was disappointed with the food on board, which was just light snacks and not very good in terms of quality or taste. The only thing I enjoyed was the strawberries, which were delicious, and I kept eating those. I wish the coffee had been good at least, but unfortunately, that was also disappointing.

鯨は、遠くで潮吹きと尾ひれが見えただけでしたが、それでも嬉しかったですね。ただ船内での食事は軽食とのことで、内容も味も良くなくがっかりでした。唯一フルーツのイチゴが美味しくそればかりをいただいていました。せめてコーヒーが美味しければ良かったのですが、それも残念ながらの状況でした。

The experience was great. We loved the view from the ceiling and the Luau dance. One thing that could have been done better is the food choice (given the culinary taste that different people have). We didn’t like the fish and chicken served. Overall it was good.

The sandbar itself doesn’t offer much to do, but it was a very beautiful place. It’s worth visiting at least once. I also thoroughly enjoyed the sea turtle watching and snorkeling. However, while there were no issues during snorkeling, it was quite cold after getting out, and I was shivering. But the hot cocoa they served at that time was really delicious. The timing was just right, and I was able to enjoy various activities, which was great.

サンドバー自体は特に何をするというわけではないですが、とてもきれいな場所でした。一度は行ってみると良いです。
ウミガメウォッチングやシュノーケリングも十分楽しめました。
ただ、シュノーケリング中は問題ありませんが、出たあとは、季節的に寒く、ぶるぶると震えていまうほどでしたが、その時に出させたホットココアがてとっても美味しかったです。時間的にもちょうどよく、いろいろ楽しめたのがよかったです。

I booked a breakfast buffet plan for the "Whale Watching Cruise - Star of Honolulu" with a choice of cultural experiences.

I didn't include transportation and took an Uber taxi from the hotel to Pier 8.

At that time, the weather in Hawaii was consistently "cloudy with occasional rain and strong winds," resulting in high waves.

<Breakfast>
You can freely choose from bread, rice, scrambled eggs (steamed eggs), American sausage, and cereal, along with coffee, tea, green tea, milk, and orange juice.

Around the time we finished breakfast, they provided an explanation about whale watching. Those who didn't have breakfast had to wait until we finished. The explanation was entirely in English, so I somewhat understood it while reading the translations from Google Translate's microphone mode.

<Cruise>
Announcements like "Let's work together to find the whales!" and "The ecology of whales is..." were continuously made in English. At first, I was full of enthusiasm, but the waves were intense, and the wind was strong. It was rocking a lot. As expected, I got seasick, and it became difficult to focus on whale watching. I usually don't get car or airplane motion sickness, but this was a different dimension. (The foreign guests around me seemed fine.) I couldn't spot any whales, and with the seasickness, it turned into quite a heavy activity.

However, those who couldn't see any whales are issued a ticket for another free cruise.

Due to my travel schedule, I didn't use the ticket, but I think it's great that they offer a chance.

Since this activity depends on nature, I recommend understanding that aspect and being prepared to accept the possibility of not seeing whales when making a reservation.

Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.

「ホエールウォッチングクルーズ　スターオブホノルル号　選べるカルチャー体験」の朝食ビュッフェ付きプランを予約しました。

送迎は付けず、ホテルからpier8までUberタクシーで移動しました。

この時のハワイの天気は、連日「曇時々雨で一日中強風」というタイミングも重なり、波が高かったです。

<朝食>
パン、ごはん、スクランブルエッグ(スチームエッグ)、アメリカンソーセージ、シリアル
コーヒー、紅茶、緑茶、牛乳、オレンジジュース
これらから自由に選べます。

朝食を食べ終わる頃にホエールウォッチングの説明がされます。
朝食を食べ終わるまでの間、朝食なしの人は待っていることになります。
説明は全篇英語なので、Google翻訳のマイクモードで翻訳されたのを読みながら、なんとなく理解しました

<クルーズ>
「みんなで協力しあってくじらを見つけよう！」「くじらの生態は…」というようなアナウンスが終始英語で流れています。
最初はやる気に溢れていたのですが、なんせ波が、すごい。風も、すごい。揺れる。
案の定船酔いしてしまい、途中からホエールウォッチングどころではなくなってしまいました。
車酔いや飛行機酔いはしない方ですが、船は別次元でした。
(周りの外国人の方々は平気そうでした。)
くじらはを見つけることはできず、船酔いをし、なかなかヘビーなアクティビティになりました。

ただ、くじらを見れなかった人にもう一回無料でクルーズできるチケットが発行してもらえます。

旅程の都合でチケットは利用しませんでしたが、チャンスをもらえるのはいいと思います。

自然とのお付き合い次第のアクティビティなので、その点は理解し、諦めを覚悟して予約することをおすすめします。

それと、酔い止めをご持参されることをおすすめします。笑

I experienced this on February 8, 2020! I participated in a tour with Veltra and stayed for about four and a half hours. Since it wasn't crowded, I was able to try almost all the water slides and enjoy the wave pool! There are thrilling free-fall water slides that you can't easily experience in Japan, so I think anyone from adults to children can have fun (^^).

One of the most impressive was the Tornado Slide, where you slide down in a tornado shape after a steep drop—it was truly thrilling and enjoyable! Since I went in February, it was a bit chilly, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your swimsuit! I imagine it would be packed in the summer; it was such a fun park!

2020年2月8日に体験して参りました！
ベルトラさんのツアーで参加し、約4時間半ほどの滞在でしたが、空いてたこともあり、ほぼ全てのウォータースライダーを体験、、波が出るプールも楽しむことが出来ました！
日本では中々味わえない急降下のウォータースライダーもあり、大人から子供まで誰でも楽しめると思います(^^)
中でも印象深いのはトルネードスライダーで、急降下からのトルネード状で滑っていく所が本当にスリル満点で楽しめました！
2月に行ったのでやはり肌寒いので、羽織れるものを用意しておくと良いです！
夏は恐らく満員御礼だろうなと思うくらい、楽しいパークでした！

The staff were always smiling, and some could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease and enjoy my time. I had a great time from the morning with high energy. I was satisfied to see both dolphins and whales! Since I participated in January, I thought it might be cold, but it was much colder than I imagined once we got out of the water. There were small children participating as well, and it was sad to see them shivering, so I think parents should definitely bring warm clothing. Also, the boat sways quite a bit, so even those who usually don’t get seasick should take motion sickness medication. It would be the worst to get sick! It was sad to see the kids unable to eat their hamburgers because they got seasick...

スタッフさんはいつも笑顔で日本語を話せる方もいて、安心して楽しく過ごせました。
朝からテンションも高く楽しかったです。
イルカもクジラも見れて満足でした！
1月の参加だったため寒いかなと思っていましたが、海から上がると想像以上に寒かったです。
小さなお子さんも参加されていましたが、ブルブル震えていてかわいそうだったので、親御さんは防寒用具しっかり持って行った方が良いと思います。
あと船は結構揺れるので普段酔わない人も酔い止めは必須です。酔ったら最悪です！
子供さんが酔ってハンバーガーも食べれずかわいそうでした…

It was a fun tour, but it was cold. Next time, I will bring warm clothing. The guide was a fun person.

楽しいツアーでしたが
寒かったです。
次回は防寒着を持って行きます。
ガイドさんが楽しい方でした
