All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

This time, I wanted to feel the blue sea of Hawaii even closer and fully enjoy it, so my partner and I participated in the Outrigger Catamaran plan. At first, we both had some anxiety, but once we were out at sea, that anxiety disappeared in an instant. In a word, we were very satisfied. The departure from Waikiki Beach was wonderful, with both the sea and the scenery being spectacular. We were blessed with good weather, enjoying the warm sunshine and pleasant breeze together, and the time flew by.

What left the biggest impression on me was being able to connect with Hawaii's nature. Looking at the blue sea, we could observe schools of fish and turtles up close, and since we could bring cameras and videos, we could perfectly capture those memories. Also, the view of Honolulu from the sea felt different and special.

The staff were very accommodating and kind to us as Japanese visitors, for which we are grateful.

I recommend this plan to anyone who wants to feel the blue sea of Hawaii more closely and connect with nature. We would also like to participate in the Outrigger Catamaran plan again.

今回、ハワイの青い海をもっともっと身近に感じたい。そして満喫したいという思いから私と彼女の二人でアウトリガー・ カタマラン号のプランに参加しました。初めはお互い不安もありましたがその不安も海に出れば一瞬にして消え去りました。一言でいうと大満足でした。ワイキキビ−チから出発して海、景色ともに素晴らしかったからです。天候にも恵まれ暖かい日差しと気持ちのいい風を二人で浴びながらあっという間の時間でした。

一番印象に残っているのはハワイの自然に触れられたことです。青い海に目をやると魚の群れや亀を身近で観察できカメラやビデオも持ち込めるのでバッチリ思い出として記録できます。また、海から見るホノルルの風景も一味違うものだと思いました。

スタッフの方の対応も良く日本人の私達にもとても親切に対応していただき感謝しています。

ハワイの青い海をもっと身近に感じたい。また自然に触れたい方にはお勧めのプランです。私たちもまた参アウトリガ−・ カタマラン号プランに参加したいと思います。

This was the best way for a first-timer to the island to visit all the high notes of the island. Our tour guide Garfield was great -- knowledgeable, courteous, and amusing. My boyfriend and I had driven around the island by ourselves the day before and it was nice to get the information on the places we had stopped at and seen, but didn't know about.

I would recommend this tour to anyone vacationing on Oahu for the first time.

We took myself and three visitors from Japan. Yesterday PM trip. The ride on the catamaran was so smooth both coming and going. The capt did a great job! and the two mancrew.
He had so much patients steering the cat looking for whales. I tho't we would be disappointed, but he did not disappoint us. He finnaly found a mother and her pup. This was about an hour and half into our trip.
My cousin who asked for the trip was very happy. I don't know what she expected to see, but the whale did come up. she was satisfied. She may come back again next year. I know the whales don't leave until April. How will it be about this time next year? Would it have been if the trip were a little later?
By the way I have friends coming next week from Japan. How are the prospects. I can suggest your whale charter.
the capt. brought us back to Kewalo right on schedule.

I was originally scheduled to participate on February 27, but due to a tsunami warning from the earthquake in Chile, I had to cancel... I ended up being stuck in the hotel during such nice weather, but when I called Alan and the tour company, they were very accommodating and I was able to reschedule for March 1. Thank you very much!

The sea in heaven is truly blue! Emerald! It was so beautiful! However, the wind was really strong, and the captain seemed to be in a good mood, saying, "The wind is strong!" (laughs). Even though I was shivering, I enjoyed the heavenly sea in the area where the tide had receded. The white sand was probably affected by the wind, as there wasn't much, but I will never forget the excitement of standing in the blue sea.

For snorkeling, since the wind was strong and the current was fast, I couldn't swim, so I just watched from the boat, but that alone was satisfying. Next time, I will practice swimming! I was able to see turtles about ten times from the boat. The food was delicious, and the crew was entertaining, so I was very satisfied!

I hope to go again on a really sunny day! Thank you!

本当は２月２７日に参加予定だったのですが、チリの大地震による津波警報が出てキャンセルに…
すごくいい天気の中ホテルに監禁状態になってしまい、Alan1さんや、催行会社に電話をしたら、とても良い対応をしてくれて、３月１日に日を変えて参加することが出来ました＾＾ありがとうございました！
天国の海は本当に青！エメラルド！すごくキレイでした！
ただ風がすごく強くてキャプテンも「カゼツヨイネー！」とご機嫌？でした笑。震えながらも潮が引いた場所で天国の海を満喫しました＾＾白い砂は、風の影響かな？あんまりなかったですが、青い海の中に立てた瞬間の感動は忘れられません。

シュノーケリングは風も強く潮の流れが早いということで、泳げない私は船から見ていましたが、それだけでも満足できました＾＾次は泳ぎの練習をしていくぞ！！船の上からも亀さんを１０回ぐらい見ることができました＾＾ご飯もおいしかったし、クルーの皆さんもおもしろかったし、満足です！

次はすっごく晴れた時に行けたらいいなと思います！
ありがとうございました！

The meeting point, which is said to be hard to find, was at the Sheraton, so it was easy to spot the bright blue beach umbrellas (the meeting point) after walking along the beach for just 2 or 3 minutes. The staff there (two people) were also fluent in Japanese and very enjoyable to be around, which was a great help. Although Japanese is not spoken on the boat, I still had a wonderful time. Fortunately, I was able to see both turtles and whales. There were only two Japanese participants, but it really felt like being abroad. I think this tour is suitable for everyone from children to the elderly, and it offers a close-up experience of the sea. Since participation is barefoot, it's best to wear appropriate footwear.

わかりにくいと言われている集合場所も宿泊がシャラトンだったので浜辺を歩いて２・３分で真っ青なビーチパラソル（集合場所）もすぐわかりました。そこのスタッフ（二人）も日本語が上手で、それにとても楽しい方で助かりました。船上では日本語は通じませんが、でも十分楽しめました。ラッキーなことに、カメもクジラも見ることができました。日本人の参加は二人だけでしたが、海外だという実感がわきました。このツアーは子供さんからお年寄りまで参加でき、身近に海を体感できるツアーだと思います。はだしでの参加ですので履き物はそれなりがいいですよ。

On the day of the reservation, there was a tsunami warning in Honolulu due to an earthquake in Chile. Transportation in the city was halted in preparation for the tsunami. I called the staff and was able to reschedule for the next day. I was relieved that there were staff members who spoke Japanese.

As for the whales, I was glad to see several of them. The kids were very excited, and I was satisfied with that. However, the lunch package was a bit chaotic; with the announcement of "There are whales!" everyone was too distracted to enjoy the meal, so it might be better to go without lunch.

予約当日、チリの地震の影響でホノルルは津波警報。市内は津波に備え交通もストップ。スタッフに電話して翌日に振り替えてもらいました。日本語ＯＫなスタッフで安心しました。
肝心のクジラですが、数頭見ることができてよかったです。子供も大興奮、これには満足です。ただしランチ付きのコースは「クジラがいた!」とのアナウンスで食事そっちのけで右へ左へで落ち着かないのでランチなしがいいかも…。

I went with three other girl friends on this breakfast cruise. The crew was friendly and fun. They made you feel welcomed instantly and made you feel cared for.
The cruise was smooth we were able to see whales and the Captain went out of our regular route to see more of the whales. It was a fun, relaxing, cruise - I would highly recommend it to anyone who has never been or who just wants to go out again!

I participated in the 3 PM departure on the day I arrived in Hawaii. Thanks to this, I was able to avoid jet lag. The staff seemed to be quite skilled at providing explanations in Japanese during check-in, making it easy to understand. Their bright and cheerful demeanor really made me feel like I was in Hawaii!

When boarding the boat, everyone must leave their footwear in a designated box. Also, be careful as you might get splashed up to your knees if the waves hit while boarding. The day we participated had excellent weather, but it was quite windy on the boat and felt rather cool. As many have mentioned, I recommend bringing a jacket.

I was a bit anxious since I was with my parents, who are nearly 70, but we were able to see a pod of dolphins and a sea turtle, which made them both very happy. My mother, who usually gets seasick, seemed fine with the rocking of this yacht. The drinks sold on board are reasonably priced as well.

This was my sixth time in Hawaii, and I found myself regretting not participating in this activity before. When I go to Hawaii next time, I will definitely rely on your services again.

ハワイに到着した日の15時出発に参加しました。
おかげで時差ボケ防止になりました。
スタッフの方は、チェックイン時の日本語の説明は得意のようで、わかりやすかったです。また、明るくひょうきんな対応は、ハワイに来た♪って思えます。
船に乗り込むときには、全員、履物を専用のBOXに預けます。また、運が悪いと乗り込む際に波に襲われ膝上まで濡れてしまうのでご注意下さい。
私たちが参加した日は、非常に天気が良かったのですが、船上は風が強くかなり涼しかったです。みなさんが書かれているように上着を持参されることをお勧めします。
70歳近い両親と参加したため少々不安でしたが、イルカの群れやウミガメを見ることができ、二人ともとても喜んでくれました。船に弱い母もこのヨットの揺れは大丈夫だったみたいです。
船上で販売されている飲み物も良心的な値段で楽しめます。
ハワイは6回目だったのですが、なぜ今まで参加しなかったのか少々悔やんだりして。。。
次にハワイに行くときは、またお世話になります。

We went snorkeling. We saw the turtles and lot's of fish, octopus, moray eels. Then we went high speed sailing. Captain John and Rabbit are the most fun tour guides.

Me and my family had a wonderful time on board the Star of Honolulu, despite my son being seasick due to the south swells! Charmaine, who was absolutely wonderful, gave my son some medicine and she was very attentive towards our needs and checking up on us to assure he was o.k.. Nana, another staff member also helped my 4 year old daughter make leis! We did see some whales and some dolphins. Food was good, service was great! Hopefully next time we do this, my son wont be so sick!

We went as a family of eight. It was really cold on the day of our visit, and most people rented wetsuits. I was looking forward to snorkeling, but unfortunately, the weather made the waves too strong, which was difficult for beginners, so I couldn't do it. Later, when I asked another tour guide, they told me that the sandbar isn't a place for snorkeling. When I did it in Guam before, there were no waves and no coral, so I could just float around, but it seemed like you had to swim here, which was disappointing.

However, my 81-year-old grandmother had never been in the ocean until this year, and she enjoyed her first experience while wearing a wetsuit. The sandbar had quite a low tide, so all eight of us held hands and jumped together, making it a really fun family trip.

家族8人で行きました。
当日はとっても寒くて、ほとんどの人がウエットスーツを借りてました。私はシュノーケリングを楽しみにしてたのですが、あいにくの天候で波の流れが早く初心者には難しくて出来ませんでした。あとでほかのツアーのガイドさんに聞いたら、サンドバーではシュノーケリングやるところじゃないよ~って言われました。前にグアムでやったときは全然波のないサンゴなどもないところで囲いをつけてやったので、ぷかぷか浮いてるだけだったので私でも出来ましたが、ここでは泳げないとダメみたいで残念でした。
でも、81歳のおばあちゃんはこの年まで海に入ったことがなかったそうで、ウエットスーツ着ながら初体験を楽しんでいました。
サンドバーは潮がけっこう引いてたので、8人全員で手をつないでジャンプしてとっても楽しい家族旅行になりました。

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating.
I was so moved to see a whale jump right in front of me!
I was able to see it multiple times, it was the best!
I also got to make a fresh flower lei, and it was really nice to wear it for photos at the party the next day.
The food was delicious too.

I want to participate again. Thank you!

ハワイへ何度か行きましたが、初めて参加しました。
目の前にクジラのジャンプ！！を見て、メチャ感動！！！
何回も見る事が出来て、最高☆
生花のレイも作れた、次の日のパーティでレイをかけて写真を写す事が出来て、本当に良かった♥
食事も美味しかった

また参加したいです。ありがとうございました

At first, I mistakenly confused Outrigger with Outrigger Reef, and I thought it was inconvenient that there was no map on the voucher. I ran along the beach to get to my destination, but I ended up being late. When I spoke to the staff about it, they kindly allowed me to join the next cruise, which was a few hours later.

There were only two of us Japanese people, but everyone was very friendly, and it was so much fun! The staff's service was great, and I was thrilled to view Waikiki Beach from the sea. The captain's explanation allowed us to see as far as Kauai Island, and on the way back, we threw food to attract baby sharks that swam close to the yacht, and we even got to see a baby whale up close.

Cruising on the yacht was amazing! I definitely want to participate again next time.

最初アウトリガーとアウトリガー・リーフとを間違えてバウチャーに地図が無いのは不便だな~と思いながらビーチを走って目的の場所へ行ったものの時間に遅れてしまいどうしようかと思ってスタッフの人にお話したら次のクルーズに参加させてくれるとの事で数時間後のクルーズに参加しました。
日本人は私たち２人だけでしたがみなさんフレンドリーにしてくださりとっても楽しかったです！！
スタッフの対応も良くてワイキキビーチを海側から眺めて感激しキャプテンの説明で遠くにカウアイ島まで見えて帰還途中には餌を投げてサメの子供が群れをなしてヨットに近づいたりクジラの赤ちゃんまで間近で見ることができました。
ヨットでのクルージングはさいこ~でした！！
次回もまた参加したいと思いました。

My family and i had an amazing time on this trip. The crew is amazing and very welcoming and easy to get along with. Playing water volleyball was interesting but very very fun! I would recomend this tour to anybody who wants to have fun and who wants to see some cool fish.

We went on the Dinner Cruise for our anniversary and it was so enjoyable. They had some great entertainment (singer and dancers). The food was wonderful as well. But to top of our evening we were able to spot some dolphins swimming and jumping along side the boat. Could not have had a better experience and would definitely do this again.

On our first trip to Hawaii, we found a plan that allowed us to enjoy the beautiful ocean, snorkeling, and sea turtles. On the day we participated, there was a Japanese guide who was very friendly. The crew was also cheerful, making for an exciting sailing experience.

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, even more so than in photos, and playing volleyball there was the best. Although we didn't speak any English, it was true that "expressions speak louder than words."

There seem to be mixed opinions about the lunch, but the freshly grilled patties in burgers on the boat were fantastic for us. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was still very appealing, even though it was a bit cold.

Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this activity in terms of price, staff, and content. We were even generous with the tips (laughs). Thank you very much!

初ハワイで、綺麗な海、シュノーケリング、海ガメのを堪能できるプランは・・・と探して決定しました。私たちが参加した日は日本人ガイドさんもいらっしゃって非常に親しみやすかったです。クルーも陽気なメンバーでわくわくするセーリングです。
サンドバーは写真では伝え切れないくらい綺麗ですし、そんなサンドバーにネットを立てて行うバレーボールも最高でした。英語全くな私たちでしたが『表情は言葉以上にものを語る』ですね。
お昼については賛否両論があるようですが、船の上で焼きたてのパテをパンに挟んだハンバーガーは私たちにとってはサイコーでした。
残念ながらシュノーケリングでは海がめには遭遇できませんでしたが、それでも十分に魅力的でした。少し寒かったですが。
トータルで見てこちらのアクティビティは価格面、スタッフ、内容すべてにおいて大満足でした。チップ奮発してまうほどです（笑）
ありがとうございました。

It's an affordable tour that lasts an hour and a half. My husband and I rode on a catamaran for the first time, and it was stable with no rocking, making it suitable for older couples and families with small children. The view of Waikiki Beach from offshore was a different sight, and we took a lot of photos. Looking down at the water, we saw turtles and schools of fish swimming, and when the staff threw bread, the fish jumped out of the water with white splashes. Then, when the staff pointed and shouted "Whale!", we looked into the distance and, lo and behold, there was a whale showing its tail. When we stopped offshore, we could jump into the sea from the catamaran, which felt great. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were charming and kind, taking photos with us. There were also soft drinks ($1) and beer or champagne ($3) available, and we toasted on the boat. The hour and a half flew by, but it was a very enjoyable tour.

　１時間半で格安でお手頃のツアーです。
私たち夫婦は、初めてカタマランというものに乗りましたが、揺れもなく安定感のあるヨットのためか、高齢のカップルや小さな子供連れの家族も一緒でした。
沖合から眺めるワイキキビーチも一味違う光景で、写真をたくさん撮りました。
水面を見下ろすと亀や魚の群れが泳いでおり、スタッフがパンを投げると魚は白いしぶきを上げて水面を飛び跳ねていました。そしてスタッフが「ホエール！」と言いながら指さす先の遠くを見ると、な！、なんと！クジラがテールを出していました。
沖合で止まるとカタマランから海に飛び込むこともできて、とても気持良かったです。
スタッフは、日本語は通じませんが、愛嬌があっていっしょに写真を撮ってくれたりして親切でした。
また、ソフトドリンク（１＄）やビール・シャンパン（３＄）もあり、船上で乾杯しました。
あっという間の１時間半でしたが、とても気持いいツアーでした。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I participated in this activity! It was a bit chilly, but the weather was nice, and the ocean was sparkling and very beautiful. I thought there would be many Japanese participants, but it turned out to be just the two of us, and all the crew members only spoke English, so we couldn't understand what they were saying and felt a bit out of place. However, once we set off, it was incredibly refreshing, just as the name suggests, and the view from the ocean was stunning. The lower part of the yacht was a net, so we could see the ocean directly below us, which was fun. Plus, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins! It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and it was so moving! We even got to see them jumping. Along the way, we were served a Hawaiian drink called Mai Tai, so we were just full of good luck! I think it's a great deal to have such an experience for this price, so I highly recommend it! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again!

ハワイ到着日に友人と２人で参加しました！
ちょっと寒かったですが天気も良く、海もキラキラしていてとってもきれいでした♪
日本人の参加者がたくさんいると思っていたら私たちだけで、しかもクルーの人たちもみんな英語しか話していなかったので何を言っているのかさっぱり分からずちょっと私たちだけ浮いていたかも・・・。
でも、出発してみると名前の通りすごく爽快で、海から見える景色もとってもきれいでした☆ヨットの下の部分がネットになっているので、真下に海が見れて楽しかったです。しかもラッキーなことにイルカの群れに遭遇しました！！野生のイルカを見たのは初めてだったので感動です！！！ジャンプしてるところも見れました♪途中、ハワイのお酒マイタイもサービスして頂き、ラッキーずくしでした♪この値段でこんな体験ができるのはとてもお得だと思うのでお勧めです！！またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います☆

On the day, the wind was strong and there were splashes from the waves, making it difficult to see the whales' spouts clearly. However, there were many activities on the boat, such as lei-making and hula lessons, which kept the children entertained, and we had a great time. My child continued to practice the hula we learned even after returning to Japan.

当日は風が強く、波しぶきが立っていたので鯨の潮吹きがわかりにくく、あまり良く見えなかったのですが、船内でのレイの作成やフラレッスンなど、子供が飽きない催しも多く、大変楽しめました。
子供は日本に帰ってからも教えていただいたフラを家でやっていました。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first experience at a sandbar. Even though it's offshore, the sand made from crushed coral allows you to stand. It's surprising that not only can you stand, but it feels like just the tips of your feet are in the water. Standing in the middle of the ocean is astonishing. I think you may have seen it in TV commercials. Experiencing it in person was incredibly moving. I had fun playing beach volleyball with foreign staff and guests near the sandbar. Since I was the only Japanese participant, I hope more shy Japanese people will join in. We spent 45 minutes on the sandbar. While moving by boat to the snorkeling spot, I saw many green sea turtles coming up to the surface to breathe. It's reassuring that the staff swims with you during snorkeling. A lot of fish came to the bait, making for a fun time. It seems that even first-time snorkelers can enjoy it.

ハワイは何十回も行っていますが、サンドバーへ行ったのは初めての体験でした。サンゴが波で砕けてできた砂が積って居るのは沖合なのに足が立ちます。足が立つどころか足の先だけが海中にある感じで驚きます。海のど真ん中に立っているのは驚きです。テレビのＣＭとかで見たことあると思います。実際に体験するとそれはスゴイ感動モノでした。サンドバーのそばで外国人スタッフの人と海外からのお客さんと一緒にビーチバレーをして楽しみました。日本人はわたし一人だけの参加だったので、引っ込み思案な日本の人たちも参加してほしいなあと思いました。サンドバーでは４５分間上陸していました。シュノーケルする場所へ船で移動してるときは、ミドリウミガメが水面にいっぱい顔を出して息継ぎしている姿がドンドン見れました。シュノーケルの時にはスタッフも一緒に泳いでいるので安心です。餌に魚がイッパイ寄ってきて楽しい時間でした。シュノーケル初体験者も楽しめるようですよ。

I participated in the sandbar for the first time. It takes about 30 minutes by bus from the Waikiki hotel to the Kaneohe pier. After getting off the bus, I transferred to a boat to go. The foreign male staff on the bus shared interesting stories, so I wasn't bored. While on the boat to the sandbar, the staff sang songs for us. There were many foreign participants, but there were also Japanese female staff who provided explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. When we boarded the boat and saw Chinaman's Hat, we arrived at the sandbar. This time, the water depth was about 20 centimeters. It was fun to play volleyball in the middle of the ocean. For those who were snorkeling for the first time, they allowed practice there. After that, we returned to the boat for lunch. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious. Drinks were also free and unlimited. After that, we moved by boat to another snorkeling spot. During the transfer, we were able to see many turtles, which was enjoyable. When snorkeling, feeding the fish attracted a lot of them, and I was able to swim happily over the coral.

サンドバーに初めて参加しました。
ワイキキホテルからバスでカネオヘの桟橋まで30分ぐらいで到着します。バスを降りて桟橋から船に乗り換えて行きました。バスの中でも外国人男性のスタッフが面白い話をしてくれて退屈しません。船でサンドバーに行く間もスタッフが歌を歌ってくれます。外国人の参加が多いですが日本人女性のスタッフもいますから日本語説明してくれますので安心です。船に乗ってチャイナマンズハットが見えてくるとサンドバーに到着しました。今回は20センチくらいの水深でした。
海の真ん中でバレーボールをしたりと手も楽しいです。
シュノーケルが初めての人はそこで練習もさせてくれます。
その後船に戻ってランチが始まります。
ランチのハンバーガーはとても美味しかったです。
ドリンクも無料で飲み放題でした。
その後またシュノーケルをする場所まで船で移動しました。
移動のときも亀をたくさん見ることができて楽しかったです。シュノーケルは、餌をやるといっぱい魚が寄ってきてサンゴの上を楽しく泳ぐことができました。

I've never seen such a beautiful sea... I was moved.
It's not like the shallow waters in Japan; in the morning, due to the tides, the sand doesn't show, so you definitely have to walk in the areas where the tide has gone out.
I also enjoyed snorkeling, and the BBQ was delicious—I'll definitely go again!

今まで見たこともない美しい海・・・感動しました。
日本の海にある浅瀬ではないんですね、午前中は潮の満ち引きの関係で砂が顔を出さないとか、絶対潮が引いたとこを歩かなきゃ駄目ですよね。
シュノーケリングも楽しめましたしBBQも美味しかったー、絶対もう一度行く！

.Had a great time with luau and show. We opted for late day entry as we don't walk very much. We saw 2 villages and shows and had a leisurely dinner , time to shop and on to the show. Fabulous. EVERYONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN TO HAWAII OR HAS BEEN AND NOT SEEN THE SHOW SHOULD ATTEND .

This was a great activity. We didn't see as many difference colored fish as I thought we would, but we did swim with the fish and see some sea turtles.

The sailing part was the most enjoyable. I could have stayed out all day.

The crew was friendly and helpful.

I researched the data and it was perfectly low tide, so I participated in the afternoon BBQ tour. The staff created a fun atmosphere, and I ended up having a great time. The BBQ lunch was unexpectedly delicious, and I even encountered sea turtles while snorkeling.

At Sandwalk, we had plenty of time, and the staff took photos of all the participants and uploaded them to the website, so I was able to see them right after returning home, which helped me recall the enjoyable time we had. It not only reminded me of our experience but also of the other participants, making it even more memorable.

If I could wish for something, I would like the snorkeling time to be longer. While I understand the importance of the explanations, I felt they were a bit lengthy. They are necessary for beginners, but not for those who are more experienced. Perhaps grouping participants according to their skill levels would be a good idea.

Also, one of the photos taken is sold, but I was disappointed because I thought it would be a larger size, not the standard size. Honestly, $10 is quite expensive for that, especially since the backing is very plain.

Overall, I really enjoyed the content and felt it was worth participating in.

データを調べてバッチリ干潮時だったので、午後のＢＢＱツアーに参加しました。スタッフの方の楽しい雰囲気作りにいつの間にか乗せられてとても楽しむことができました。予想以上に美味しかったＢＢＱランチ、シュノーケルでは海亀とも出会えました。
サンドウオークではたっぷりと時間があり、参加者全員の写真を撮りＨＰにアップしてくれたので、帰国後は直ぐに見ることができて楽しかった時間を思い出せました。自分達だけでなく、参加者の方々を思い出せるのでより思い出深くなると思います。
欲を言えば、シュノーケルの時間をもっと長く取れると良いなと思います。大切だとは思いますが、説明時間が長いと思いました。初心者には必要ですが、慣れている方には不要ですから。
力量に合わせてグループ分けしてはどうでしょうか。
また、撮ってくれた写真１枚は販売されますが、普通サイズではなく一回り大きなサイズだと思っていたのでがっかりしました。
あれで＄１０は正直高いです。台紙も全く色気なしですから。
内容的にはとっても楽しめて参加して良かったと思いました。

I participated in the 3 PM departure. It's great that there are afternoon departures available. It's perfect for getting used to the Hawaiian climate while enjoying the pleasant sea breeze when you're just relaxing on the day of arrival. Engaging in intense activities on the arrival day can leave you tired for the rest of your trip. I recommend it because you can indulge in a luxurious feeling at this price!

3時出発に参加しました。午後発があるというのがいいですよね。到着日にボーとしているときに心地よい海風をうけてハワイの気候に身体をならすのにはぴったりです。到着日に激しいアクティビィテイは残りの日まで疲れが残りますからね。この価格でゴージャスな気分に浸れるからおすすめです！

I participated at 3:00 PM on the day of my arrival on Oahu. I arrived from the Big Island at 11:30 AM, so I had plenty of time. At 2:30 PM, I went to the beach side of the Outrigger Reef on the Beach Hotel, where there were similar umbrellas for boat tours, and I quickly found the sign for the Outrigger Catamaran with blue letters and a staff member. He spoke Japanese well. (I've attached a photo for clarity.) It was my first time on a catamaran, so I was really looking forward to it. I was a bit worried since the boat was on the smaller side, but there was little rocking, and cruising while enjoying the pleasant breeze and views of Waikiki and Diamond Head was incredibly enjoyable—I lost track of time. The crew was friendly and interacted with everyone; there were only my wife and me as Japanese guests, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without feeling out of place. Along the way, we saw whales and fed fish, so there was never a dull moment. They also made cocktails on board, which everyone seemed to enjoy. I definitely want to go again when I visit Oahu. It's suitable for children too.

オアフ島、到着日の15：00に参加しました。ハワイ島から11：30に着いたので時間的にも余裕がありました。14：30分にアウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチホテルのビーチ側にいくと同じような船の案内のパラソルがありますが青い文字のアウトリガー・ カタマラン号の看板が出てるところにおにいさんがいてすぐにわかりました。日本語も上手でしたよ。（わかるように写真を添えています。）カタマランは初めてなのでとても楽しみにしていました。船は弱いほうなので少し心配していましたが揺れも少なく心地よい風とワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドなどの景色を見ながらのクルージングはなんとも言い難い心地よさで時間のたつのも忘れるくらいです。クルーの人もみんなに声をかけてくれて日本人は私と妻だけでしたが浮くこともなく楽しむことができました。途中クジラを見たり、魚にえさをあげたりと飽きることなく楽しむことができました。中ではカクテルを作ってくれます。外国の人はみんなおいしそうに飲んでいました。オアフに来た時はまたぜひ乗りに行きたいと思います。子供さんも大丈夫ですよ。

It was a big boat... so I was a bit anxious, but my intuition was right.

I recommend it for those who get seasick or are going whale watching for the first time! Since it's a large boat, you can relax comfortably on board.

However, for those who just want to see whales, a slightly smaller boat might be better.

It's great for those who want to enjoy meals and hula lessons!

As for me... I don't get seasick, so I found it a bit lacking...

大きな船・・・。というので、ちょっと不安がありましたが・・・。予感的中でした。

船に酔う方や、初めてホエールウォッチングをされる方には、オススメですよ!!大きな船ですので、船の上でゆっくりとすごせます。

が、鯨を見たいだけの方には、もう少し小さい船のほうがよいかな~とおもいます。

食事やフラレッスンなどを楽しみたい方にはオススメですね!!

私は・・・。船には酔わないので、ちょっと物足りなかったです・・・。

I participated with a friend on February 4th. I had heard that whales can only be seen in the winter, so I thought it was a great opportunity and signed up. According to the captain, they have been able to see them almost every day recently, so we were looking forward to the trip. Both my friend and I are prone to seasickness, so we brought medication from Japan. There were courses that included meals, but anticipating that eating might make us feel sick, we deliberately chose the most economical option without meals; however, drinks were included, so it turned out to be a good choice.

As for the whales, unfortunately, we didn't see any jumping up close, but during the two-and-a-half-hour cruise, we were able to see their backs several times as they spouted water and dove, which was very moving. The view of Waikiki from the boat was also beautiful. However, it was much windier on the boat than expected, and it was very cold, so I definitely recommend bringing a long-sleeved hoodie that blocks the wind. Even so, when it got too cold, it felt nice to go up to the upper deck where the sun was warm.

２月４日に友達と２人で参加しました。クジラは冬の時期しか見られないと聞いていたので、良いチャンスだと思い申し込みました。船長さんの話では最近はほぼ毎日見る事が出来るという事でしたので、楽しみにして出発しました。私も友人もとても船酔いしやすい体質なので、薬は日本から持参しました。食事付などのコースもありましたが、食べると気分が悪くなる事を予測して、あえて一番お得な食事無しのコースにしましたが、飲み物は付いているので結果的には良かったと思います。
肝心のクジラは残念ながらすぐ近くでジャンプ、とは行きませんでしたが、２時間半のクルーズの間何度も塩を吹いたり潜ったりする背中を見る事ができてとても感動しました。船の上から見るワイキキもとてもキレイでした。ただ船の上は予想以上に風が吹いて非常に寒いので風を通さない長袖のパーカーなどを持っていく事を是非オススメします。それでも寒い時はいっそ屋上階に出てしまった方がお日様がぽかぽか当たって気持ちが良かったですよ。

I'm thinking of going in March♪ Is it okay if I have tattoos??

3月に行こうと思ってます♪
タトゥーが入っていても大丈夫でしょうか？？
