All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

It was truly one of my favorite things this trip. The crew were so nice and pleasant. The weather was a bit windy and the sandbar wasn’t fully out even with all that the experience was one of my favorites.
The crew helped you out throughout the whole experience. One of the guides even helped me with my snorkel experience and guided me. It was one of my favorite things to do and would recommend this activity to anyone I know. Thank you to all the wonderful crew, I am sorry that I can’t remember all the names. And thank you to my guide that helped me with the snorkel experience you have no idea how grateful I am. Overall, one of the top activities to do.

Nova Five Star package should be renamed to, 'Ten Star.' The reason being this package was over the top elegant, professional, and accommodating. Each table had their own charcuterie board, which was perfect snack to get the evening started.

The meal was served in an order that was so unique. I had never had sorbet in the middle of a meal, and I'm still dreaming of the texture and flavor. The presentation/ quality of food was very impressive. Each course amazed me more and more!

The music throughout the meal was so relaxing, and set the mood for a delightful evening. If you are looking for an intimate evening with your loved one, this is the package for you!

Mahalo to SOH for going the extra mile to create a magical space!

We did the dinner cruise with the Nova Five Star on the 4th deck of the boat and it was a treat and we really had a great time. Their table set up at the Super Nova Room was so beautiful, clean, so organized, and elegant! We had our own private table seating next to the window and we enjoyed the night view even without having to explore the boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dinner. The steak was exceptionally tender, and the fresh fruit sorbet was our favorite. The servers provided excellent service as well, and the entertainment complemented the rainy weather, creating a more relaxing atmosphere.

Anyone looking for a romantic celebration on Valentine's Day, Anniversary, or any special occasion, the NOVA Five Star aboard the Star of Honolulu is an ideal choice.

For those seeking for a smaller crowd and more privacy, I would recommend booking the Nova Five Star cruise on Thursdays as it is not as busy as on the weekends.

I participated in the Heaven's Sea sandbar and snorkeling tour, which included a barbecue lunch.

In the end, I had the amazing experience of seeing a honu (sea turtle) right in front of me and swimming together for a while, but the cold before and after was beyond what I had imagined.

The wind was strong, it was cloudy, and there were no elements to warm us up at all, so older participants either didn't get in from the start or gave up early.

I borrowed two large towels from the hotel and brought a down jacket, which was just about right. There were some people who seemed completely fine, so there is a personal difference.

If it hadn't been cold, it would have been an incredibly fun activity. The staff taking care of us were very pleasant, and I'm glad I chose this tour.

I was expecting a bit better for lunch, but it was still quite delicious.

For the barbecue, we had grilled meat patties sandwiched in hamburger buns, with cheese, tomato, lettuce, and onion inside. There were also boiled beans, fruit, and chips.

They provided warm drinks as well, and I was impressed by how the small number of staff managed to serve such a large group.

天国の海　サンドバーとシュノーケリング、バーベキューランチ付きに参加しました。

結果的にはホヌに目の前で会えて、しばらく一緒に泳げるという、最高の体験が出来ましたが、その前後の寒さは、想像以上でした。

風が強く、曇りでもあり、全く暖かくなる要素がないままだったので、年配の方は最初から入らないか、早々にギブアップ。

大きめのタオル2枚、ホテルから借りて持っていき、ダウンも持って行って、ちょうどくらいでした。
中には全然平気な方もいらっしゃったので、個人差がありますね。

寒くなければ最高に楽しいアクティビティでした。お世話をしてくださる方々もとても感じ良くて、こちらを選んで良かったです。
ランチは、もう少し良いものを期待していましたが、十分美味しかったです。

バーベキューグリルで、焼いたお肉のパテをハンバーガーのバンズではさみ、中にはチーズ、トマト、レタス、オニオン。
あとは煮豆と果物、チップスでした。

温かい飲み物も、提供があるし、あれだけ沢山の人数を少数スタッフでさばけているのがすごかったかな。

This was my husband and I's first time whale watching and first time in Hawaii. We were welcomed aboard the Star of Honolulu by friendly crew members. The boat experience alone was great. The education we obtained from the tour was helpful because although, we didn't see a whale breach that day, we were able to spot one the next couple of days with the information that we obtained from the tour. Definitely would recommend this tour to family and friends!

It was a windy day, so perhaps due to that, the boat rocked quite a bit. With the wind and the cold, I think it's better to have a jacket. I didn't get seasick, possibly because the motion sickness medication worked for me, but I saw several people looking unwell, so I recommend taking the medication.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales until the end, but I will try to think of it as having enjoyed the cruising experience. However, it was mentioned that if we didn't see any whales, we would receive a ticket for a future ride, but I didn't receive one. There weren't any other available dates for me, so it's not a big deal if I don't get one, but just for your reference.

風の強い日でしたので、その影響もあるのか船はかなり揺れました。
風もあり寒いので上着があった方がいいと思います。私は酔い止め薬が効いたのか、船酔いはしませんでしたが気分が悪そうにしている人を何人か見かけたので薬は飲んでおいた方がいいかと思います。
肝心のクジラは最後まで見えなくて残念でしたがクルージングを楽しんだと思うことにします。
ただ、見れなかったときは次回乗れる券がもらえるようなことが書いてありましたが、もらえませんでした。日程的に他に空いてる日はなかったので、別にもらえなくてもいいのですが、参考まで。

Enjoyed our whale Watch. Staff are very knowledgeable! Always enjoy this tour! We take this trip every year we are on Oahu. Saw dolphins and whales! The drinks are reasonably priced and delicious! We love getting out on this boat because it is so peaceful in the water is so beautiful and blue. Every time we have taken this cruise we have seen whales! The check-in process was very easy as they were waiting right outside the boat. Parking was easy and it was $10 for the duration we were parked. We used hawaii activities.com to book this trip. They were very easy to deal with and enjoyable. We have been on the star of Honolulu for several different types of excursions. The boat is very safe and we have always enjoyed our time on them.

We participated as a group of four, with two adults and two children. We opted for the shuttle service.

After boarding, we had a little time and were able to enjoy breakfast with the bread we brought along.

The onboard announcements (in English) inform you about the direction to look for whales, so I don't think you'll miss them.

We were able to see the whales spouting water and their tails multiple times. Unfortunately, we didn't get to witness a whale jumping out of the water. However, it was a fun experience, and we felt the presence of the whales more than we expected.

It can be quite windy, so having a long-sleeved jacket is advisable.

大人2人、子ども2人の計4名で参加。
送迎付きにしました。
乗船してから少し時間があり、持ち込んだパンで朝ごはんを取る余裕がありました。

船内アナウンス(英語)で、時計のどの方向にクジラが見えるか教えてくれるので、見逃してしまうことはないかと思います。

クジラの潮吹きや尾びれは何度も見ることができました。
クジラがざっぶーんとジャンプするような姿を拝むことは残念ながらできませんでした。
でも、思った以上にクジラの存在を感じることができて楽しい時間でした

風が強く長袖の上着があった方が安心です。

I traveled to Hawaii and encountered rain for the first time. Of all days, it had to be the day I went to the sandbar. Also, be careful because the sandbar doesn't appear when the tide is high. The staff was kind and friendly, and the activities they had prepared were great. The food was mostly snacks, and while there were spam musubi, I wished there were more filling options. Ultimately, it really depends on the weather! I was disappointed with the rain. It was far from the white sandy beaches and blue skies I had imagined. I will definitely seek revenge someday!

ハワイに旅行して、初めて雨に遭いました。
よりによって、サンドバーに行く日に遭うとは。
あと、潮位が高いと砂州は現れませんので要注意です。
スタッフは親切でフレンドリー、用意してあったアクティビティも良かったです。
食べ物はスナック中心で、スパムむすびがありましたが他にもお腹が膨れるものがあればいいなと思いました。
何はともあれホント天気次第！雨が恨めしかったです。
イメージしていた白い砂浜、青い空とは程遠いものでした。
いつかリベンジします！

I was worried about the bad weather until the day before, but we set sail safely.
When I strained my eyes on the fourth floor, I spotted some splashes of water.
It was far away, but I was moved to see the jumps!
After that, I was able to see them many more times, which made me very satisfied!
Aside from the initial briefing area being a bit cramped and crowded, and the fact that only the first floor restroom was available, I was very satisfied.
There were some people who seemed to be seasick, possibly due to the slightly high waves. I chose this option because I felt reassured that I could try again if I didn't see anything, and I think it was a good choice.

前日までの悪天候で心配しましたが無事出航
4階で目を凝らしていると水しぶき発見　
遠かったけどジャンプもみれて感動^_^
そのあとも何度も見られて満足満足！
最初の説明会場が手狭で密集してたのとトイレが一階しか利用できなかったのを除けば大満足です
波が少し高かったのか船酔いしてる人が見受けられました　もし見られなければもう一度チャレンジできる安心感で選びましたが良い選択だったと思います

there were tons of whales, great crew that was friendly and knowledgeable, we really enjoyed the trip!

I visited Sandbar on a different tour before, and this was my second time. I checked the tide schedule and chose the morning tour, but the water level was higher than I expected, above waist height, so timing was tricky.

A Japanese female staff member provided thorough interpretation, which helped me understand the explanations in detail. Additionally, they took non-swimmers along with a float, allowing us to see the fish, which made me very happy. I was also pleased that they prepared warm drinks and rice balls for us.

サンドバーは以前は違うツアーで行って、今回が2度目でした。潮の満ち引きを調べて午前のツアーにしましたが、やはり思ってたような浅瀬ではなく腰より高い水位だったので、タイミングは難しいです。
日本人の女性スタッフが丁寧に通訳してくれて、説明事項が詳しく理解できて助かりました。
また、シュノーケルも泳げない人を浮き輪で連れて行ってくれたのでお魚を見ることができ嬉しかったです。
温かい飲み物やおにぎりも用意してくれていて嬉しかったです。

I was worried about seasickness, so I chose the largest sightseeing boat on Oahu. The view as we left the harbor and passed through Waikiki towards Diamond Head was simply amazing. As we got closer to Diamond Head, we encountered a family of whales three times. A group of about three, possibly a mother and her calves, surfaced for air, and every time they spouted water, cheers erupted. Onboard, there was a briefing about where to look when whales were spotted, which made the experience enjoyable. It seems this boat is also used for Sunset Dinner Cruises at night, and it had a restaurant onboard. Next time, I definitely want to experience the Sunset Cruise.

船酔いが心配だったのでオアフ島で一番大きいという観光船を選択。港をでてワイキキ沖を通ってダイヤモンドヘッドに向かう景色は、それだけで素晴らしいものです。ダイヤモンドヘッドに近くなったころに、クジラの家族？に三度遭遇。親子なのか三頭くらいの群れが呼吸のために海面に出てきて汐を吹くたびに歓声があがりました。船内では、クジラが見えたときのアナウンスと見る方向などが事前にレクチャーされており、楽しめました。この船は夜はSunset Dinnerクルーズなどに使われているようで、レストランも完備されていました。次回は是非、Sunsetクルーズを体験してみたいと思います。

I participated in the Sandbar Angel's Sea snorkeling and sea turtle watching cruise. The atmosphere was nice and it was fun, but when I entered the water for snorkeling, the water temperature was low and "it was cold."

Snorkeling was enjoyable, but I recommend preparing for the cold after getting back on the boat. Our family of three participated, and we all changed in the restroom and wrapped ourselves in thick towels we brought from the hotel.

Even though it's a tropical climate, it felt like winter? Since the water temperature is low, I recommend taking precautions. I was glad I had read experiences beforehand.

The weather was nice, so I thought it was still bearable, but I believe cold weather precautions are necessary when it's cloudy, rainy, or windy.

サンドバー　天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズに参加しました。雰囲気も良く、楽しかったのですが、シュノーケリングで海に入ったのですが、水温が低く「冷たかった」です。
シュノーケリングも楽しかったのですが、船に上がってからの寒さ対策をお勧めします。我が家は３人で参加しましたが、トイレで全員着替えて、ホテルから持参した厚いバスタオルにくるまっていました。
常夏といえど、やはり冬？なのか。水温が低いので対策をお勧めします。
事前に体験談を見て行っていたので、良かったです。
天気が良かったので、これでもまだマシだと思いましたから、天気が曇りだとか雨、風が強い等の時は、寒さ対策が必要だと思いました。

I participated in a whale watching tour with my middle school son. The pickup was near our hotel, but there were other tours, and when the bus arrived, it turned out to be for a different tour. After that, our tour bus arrived, but the pickup was a bit delayed. The bus was clean, and there was no typical bus smell, making it comfortable.

Once on board, we listened to explanations in a large dining area on the first floor, where those who wanted could pay for meals. All the staff were locals, so the explanations were in solid English. After the briefing, we could go up to the deck.

We waited at a spot where whales were expected to appear. The boat rocked quite a bit while moving and even while waiting. I took motion sickness medication, but those who are prone to seasickness might get nauseous. I got seasick quickly and rested on a chair on the deck.

We saw a few dolphins. I heard that when a whale appears, they announce it by saying "○ o'clock," so I was lying down and seemed to have missed it when it showed up. My son noticed it because someone next to him murmured about the spout, and he saw it when they said "3 o'clock," so he apparently saw it twice. The whales were quite far away, as shown in the photos, while the dolphins were relatively close.

中学生の息子とホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
ピッキングは宿泊ホテルの近くでしたが、他のツアーの方もいて時間に来たバスが来たので聞いてみると違うツアーでした。その後当ツアーのバスが来ましたが、お迎えは少し時間が遅れていました。バス内は清潔でバス特有の匂いもなく快適でした。
乗船し、1階の食事が出来る大部屋で説明を聞きながら希望者は有料で食事が出来ます。スタッフは全員現地の方なので、説明もガチ英語。
説明が終わったらデッキへ上がれます。
出没スポットと思われるところで待機。船は走っているときも待機中も結構揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔ってしまうでしょう。私はすぐに酔ってしまい、デッキの横になれるチェアで休んでいました。
イルカが数匹見れました。
「○oclck」とクジラがでたらアナウンスされると聞いたので、横になっていましたが気づかないうちに現れていたようです。
息子は隣の人が呟いたため気づいて見えた潮吹きと、「3o'clock」と言われてみたので計2回見えたようです。クジラは写真の通り遠巻きで、イルカは割と近くで見えます。

From the moment we set sail, the sparkling sea and the pleasant wind made me feel great, and I thought it would be enough even if we didn't see any whales! However, shortly after departing, we were greeted by a large pod of dolphins. They seemed to playfully swim alongside the boat, and I was thrilled to see so many adorable dolphins.

A little further ahead, we spotted two whales spouting water. They weren't very large, but their size was clearly different from the dolphins, moving gracefully. Throughout the trip, dolphins and whales appeared alternately, making the two and a half hours fly by. The crew mentioned that we were particularly lucky to see so many whales today.

出航前からキラキラ光る海と風に気持ちよくて、クジラ見られなくても十分！と思っていましたが、出航して少ししたら、まずはイルカの大群。
ふざけながら船に並走してくれるようで、たくさんの可愛いイルカたちがみられて感激。
その後その少し先で潮を吹くクジラが2頭。
それほど大きくないクジラでしたが、明らかにイルカとは違う大きさ。ゆったりした動き。
その後もイルカやクジラが代わるがわる現れて、あっという間の２時間半でした。
今日は特にたくさんのクジラが見られたよと船の方もおっしゃってました。

I was supposed to participate with a pickup from the Lacroix Hotel. Even after 15 minutes had passed, no one arrived, and when I called the contact number that said, "Please contact us if you haven't been picked up after 5 minutes," I received a message saying it was outside of business hours, leaving me at a loss. When I consulted with the front desk at the Lacroix Hotel, they kindly made a call and connected me with a Japanese woman from the tour company. After explaining the situation, I was told, "Your pickup is at Sheraton Waikiki. The pickup time for today has already passed. You can take a taxi at your own expense." I mentioned that I had requested the pickup from the Lacroix Hotel from the beginning, that I had already paid for the service including the pickup, and that it didn't have to be today, and only then was I finally offered a reschedule. It was very disappointing that they spoke as if it was my mistake from the start without trying to find the cause of the misunderstanding, and their response reflected that. Since it was a family trip, I rescheduled for the next day, but honestly, I felt like canceling due to their handling of the situation. If a customer cancels on the day of, they incur a cancellation fee, so I thought it would be reasonable for them to provide compensation for this incident. The next day, the pickup was also more than 15 minutes late, and when I called, I couldn't get through, just like the day before. Fortunately, there was another family scheduled to participate, and they received a call about a 20-minute delay on their mobile phone, and I felt relieved when I saw the bus arrive shortly after. However, I was truly disappointed with these experiences over two consecutive days.

Managing time to avoid being late with young children and planning this trip with excitement for months, it is regrettable to have to go through such anxiety and discomfort. I also emailed Veltra about the lack of pickup, and they promptly and very kindly intervened with the tour company. It was through Veltra's contact that I learned for the first time that the pickup location had mistakenly been set to Sheraton Waikiki. The tour company did not provide any explanation or apology regarding this mistake and spoke as if it was a communication error between Veltra and the tour company. While I understand that mistakes can happen, I believe it is very rude not to offer a sincere explanation or apology. I recommend Veltra, but I do not recommend this tour company.

ラクロワホテルお迎えで参加予定でした。15分過ぎても来ず、「当日5分過ぎたら連絡ください」という連絡先に電話しても営業時間外というアナウンスが流れ、途方に暮れていました。ラクロワホテルのフロントの方に相談すると電話をかけてくださり催行会社の日本人女性の方と繋げてくれました。経緯をお話すると「シェラトンワイキキお迎えになっています。今日のお迎え時間はもう過ぎています。自費になりますがタクシーで来ていただいてもいいです。」と言われました。申込時からラクロワホテルでお願いしていること、送迎込みの金額をすでにお支払いしていること、今日でなくてもよいことを伝えるとようやく振替を提案されました。行き違いの原因を探そうともせず最初からこちらのミスであるような言い方をされ、それを踏まえた対応をされたのは大変遺憾でした。せっかくの家族旅行なので翌日に振り替ましたが正直キャンセルしてもいいと思うくらいの対応でした。お客側が当日キャンセルしたらキャンセル料が発生するのですから、今回はこちらにもそれに見合った弁償があってもいいのではないかと思いました。翌日もお迎えは15分以上遅れ、電話をかけても昨日と同じく繋がりませんでした。幸い参加予定のご家族がもう一組おり、そちらの携帯に20分ほど過ぎたころ遅延している旨電話が来て、すぐにバスが見えたので安心しました。しかし2日連続のこれらの対応には本当にがっかりしました。
幼いこどもを連れて時間に遅れないよう時間管理をし、何ヶ月も前からスケジュールを立てて楽しみに旅行に来ているのに、こんな不安な思いや不快な思いをしなければならないのは残念です。
ベルトラさんにもメールでお迎えが来ない旨ご相談したのですが、催行会社との間に入り、迅速に大変親身にご対応いただきました。ベルトラさんからのご連絡で初めて催行会社側のミスで送迎先がシェラトンワイキキになっていたことを知りました。催行会社の方はその旨の説明も謝罪もなく、ベルトラさんと催行会社の間での伝達ミスのような言い方をされました。ミスをするのは人間なのでしょうがないと思います。しかし誠実な説明や謝罪ないのはこちらに対して大変失礼だと思います。
ベルトラさんはおすすめしますが、こちらの催行会社はおすすめしません。

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 2019 and was impressed by its beauty and the abundance of fish. However, since then, tours have been discontinued and reservations are now required for entry, making it difficult to visit on my own. This time, I participated in a tour. Although the morning is early, I think it's nice because there are fewer crowds. Even if you're not good at English, as long as you ask about the meeting place and time for the return, there shouldn't be any problems. I was worried about strong winds the day before, but I was lucky that the weather was good on the day of the tour.

2019年に初めてハナウマ湾に行き、美しさとたくさんの魚を観ることが出来、感動しましたが、その後ツアーが無くなったり、入場予約が必要になったりで個人で行くのも難しく、今回、このツアーに参加しました。朝は早いですが混雑が少なくていいと思います。英語が不得手でも帰りの集合場所と時間さえ聞いておけば問題ないです。前日まで風が強く心配でしたが当日は天気良くラッキーでした。

I participated last month. I was very satisfied to see many sea turtles swimming in the very blue ocean. The guide was Japanese and explained everything in Japanese for the Japanese tourists, which was reassuring. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii.

先月参加させていただきました。
とても青い海に泳いでいるウミガメもたくさん見れて大満足です。
ガイドの方も日本人で、日本の観光客には全て日本語で説明してくれるので安心です。
またハワイに行く機会があったら参加したいです。

The Royal Hawaiian Center on the 4th floor of Waikiki's bustling area has excellent access! I debated whether to get a ticket with a buffet dinner, but I didn't want to be restricted by time, so I opted for just the viewing ticket and enjoyed a leisurely dinner at a restaurant within the center.

The seating is arranged in a circular shape with 180-degree views, divided into three blocks, with the center being reserved seating and the sides being general seating. Since it was a weekday night, there were only about a third of the seats filled on the day I attended.

The show included hula dancing, a live performance by two superstars, fire performances, and Disney songs, making for a fun night that really lifted my spirits!

ワイキキ繁華街のロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階の常設施設内なので、アクセス抜群です！
ブュッフェディナー付きのチケットか悩みましたが、時間の縛りが嫌だったので観覧のみのチケットにして夜ご飯はセンター内のレストランでゆっくり過ごしました。
席は180度円形型の座席で、3ブロック分かれている内の中央が指定席、左右が自由席のようです。
平日の夜だったこともあってか、観覧した日は三分の一くらいのお客さんでした。
フラダンンス＋スーパースター2名のライブ＋ファイヤーパフォーマンス＋ディズニーソングと盛りだくさんの内容で、テンションが上がる楽しい夜が過ごせました！

I was so happy to be able to go to the dream sandbar! Given the time of year, it was unavoidable, but the water level was about waist-high. I participated in late January, and the weather was cloudy with occasional light rain, so it was quite cold! It's best to prepare for the cold. (I went into the sea without wearing a rash guard and put it on after coming out. It was the right choice since it was cold on the return boat in the cloudy weather!)

I also joined a snorkeling trip to see corals and sea turtles, but I panicked because I couldn't touch the bottom and gave up. I later thought I should have borrowed a float. However, for those of us who didn't see any sea turtles, the boat crew searched for them on the way back, and we were able to see a swimming sea turtle!

Also, the spam onigiri I received was quite delicious, and I ate a few others elsewhere, but this one was the best! There were drinks like soda, juice, and warm beverages available. After coming out of the sea, I enjoyed warm cocoa to warm up!

憧れのサンドバーに行くことができ、嬉しかったです！
時期的に仕方ないのですが、水位は腰くらいでした。
1月下旬の参加、曇り時々パラパラ雨の天気だったので、結構寒い！寒さ対策はしっかりとしていった方がいいです。（わたしはラッシュガードを着ずに海に入って、海から出た後に着ました。曇りだと帰りの船上は寒いので、それで正解でした！）
サンゴやウミガメを見に行くシュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、足が着かないことにパニックになってしまい断念。浮き輪を借りればよかったなと後で思いました。
ただ、ウミガメを見れなかった私たちのために、帰りの船で探しながら帰ってくれて、泳いでいるウミガメを見ることができました！
あと、もらったスパムおにぎりが結構おいしくて、他でも何個か食べましたが、ここのが1番おいしかったです！
ドリンクは炭酸やジュース、あったかい飲み物もありました。海から上がった後に、あったかいココアが飲んであたたまりました！

The bus had multiple stops to pick up customers our driver was very knowledgeable about all of Hawaii. He provided solid information about going to the Arizona Memorial first. The wind was picking up making the water choppy and the shuttle could stop ferrying tourists. So we were able to get on the boat as stand-by then come back and walk through the museums.

Given a lot of good information about the Punch Bowl as we drove through the grounds!

If you are in Honolulu this tour is a must.

At first, I saw a small whale, about 5 meters long, showing its dorsal fin and tail fin about three times. After that, I spotted a mother whale, which seemed to be just under 10 meters long, showing its dorsal fin and spouting water about three times. The waves were about 3 meters high, and the boat rocked a bit, but it was very enjoyable.

初め、子クジラとみられる５ｍくらいのが背びれ、尾びれが3回くらい見れた。
そのあと、母クジラとみられる１０ｍ弱のが、背びれと潮吹きが3回くらい見られた。波は３ｍくらいあり、船は多少揺れたが、とても楽しかった。

Unfortunately, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the whales. I thought they would give us tickets for the following day if we couldn't see them, but I didn't receive any explanation or tickets.

あいにくクジラは見れなくて残念でした。
見れなかったら翌日以降のチケットをくれると思っていたが、何も説明もなく貰えなかった。

Although the day was grey and windy....the day at sea was excellent. Whales were not seen, but everything from the crew and staff members were excellent. The naturalist on board was so informative and wandered the ship answering all our questions. she was so easy to talk to and answered all our questions even the silly ones. Since we did and early morning cruise. we had coffees and snacks...dont forget to get the Mac nut cookies.....they are the best! We will do it again and hopefully have better luck in viewing....

Right on HHV grounds, easy to get too, a wonderful night!

Delish food, fun times and gorgeous views! Worth it!

On the last day of the year, three generations participated, from an 8-year-old to someone in their late 60s. We were very satisfied with the wonderful hospitality of the captain and the staff.

My daughter, who can't swim, borrowed a yellow board-like device that allows you to see underwater while snorkeling and had a great time. While the staff entertained my daughter, I was able to enjoy snorkeling as well. The grandparents in their 60s, who were worried about the cold water and swimming, were happy to relax on the boat with a cup of coffee.

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. Thank you to all the staff!

年末最終日に、8才から60代後半までの三世代で参加。船長さん、スタッフさんの素晴らしいホスピタリティで大満足でした。

泳げない娘は、シュノーケリング中、海の中がのぞける黄色いボードのような道具を借りて楽しむことに。スタッフさんが娘の相手をしてくれている間、私もシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。水が冷たく、泳ぎが不安だった60代の祖父母は、船上でコーヒーを飲みながらのんびり過ごせてよかったそうです。

またチャンスがあれば参加したいです。スタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました。

I participated in a honeymoon trip at the end of January. I checked in at 8:00 and we departed right on time at 8:45! It seems like checking in just 15 minutes before departure would still be fine.

Onboard, you can purchase drinks and light snacks like bagels. The ship has four floors, and the restrooms were clean and plentiful, which was reassuring.

It was a whale watching tour, and we were lucky to see a pod of dolphins right after we set sail! We also caught a few glimpses of the whales, which was incredibly exciting, especially when we saw their tails! (Due to conservation regulations, we couldn't get too close.) It was a tour that satisfied my desire to experience the grandeur of the ocean and see wild whales.

ハネムーン旅行で、1月末に参加しました。
8:00に受付でチェックインして、8:45に定刻通り出航しました！チェックインは出航時間の15分前とかでも全然間に合いそうな感じです。
船内ではドリンクやベーグルなどの軽食が購入出来ます。4階建ての船で、トイレも綺麗で数も多かったので安心できました。

ホエールウォッチングツアーでしたが、出航してすぐにイルカの群れも見れてラッキーでした！
本命のクジラは、ぴょこっと出てくれたのが数回あり、尻尾も見れて大感動です！！
(保護動物のため、近距離まで近づくことは出来ないまたいです)
海の壮大さと野生のクジラに満足出来るツアーでした。

I participated in this tour in late January. I was able to see the blowing, but unfortunately, I couldn't spot any whales. However, I enjoyed the view of Oahu Island from the sea. As you may know, the announcements are only in English. The air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, so it was a bit cold, and having a jacket would have been better. Also, depending on the day, it can be quite windy outside, which might feel chilly. I hope to join again next time and see some whales.

1月下旬にこちらのツアーに参加しました。
ブローイングを見ることはできましたが、残念ながらクジラの姿を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし、海からのオアフ島の景色を楽しむことが出来ました。ご存知かと思いますが、アナウンスは英語のみです。
船内は冷房がとても効いていて、少々寒かったので上着があった方が良かったです。また船外も日によりますが、風がかなり強く肌寒く感じると思います。
次回は見れることを願って参加します。
