I participated on January 28, 2019.
This boat didn't have a Japanese guide, so it was mostly foreigners, but in the end, this tour was great.
The pick-up was handled by a cheerful and friendly lady, and there were no particular issues. The boat was smaller compared to other whale-watching boats, which made it easier to see the whales.
There was a large cruise ship in a similar area, but it was crowded with people and far away, so a smaller boat is definitely more comfortable for viewing. Well, if you really want to see them up close, going to Maui would be the best option...
It might be a bit warmer when it's sunny, but since it was somewhat cloudy, it got cold if you were exposed to the wind for too long. Warm clothing is essential. Foreigners seemed to handle the cold well, even in short sleeves, but ordinary Japanese people would definitely need a thick jacket.
I took motion sickness medication just in case, but it was at a level where I thought it might be okay without it. However, this depends on the sea conditions, so I think it's better to have it just in case.
It seemed like there were 2 to 3 whales, and they occasionally showed themselves. They were found relatively quickly, which was a bit surprising. The timing might have been good as well; January to mid-February is said to be the best season. I hope this information is helpful for those planning to go.

この船は日本語ガイドがないので外国の方ばかりでしたが、結果的にはこのツアーで良かったです。
送迎も明るく気さくなお姉さんで特に問題はなく、船は他のホエールウオッチング船に比べて小さめだったので鯨たちが見やすかったと思います。
似たような場所に大型客船がいましたが、人は鈴なりになっているし距離は遠いしで、小型の船の方が絶対快適に見れますね。まあ、本当に間近で見ようと思ったらマウイ島に行くのがベストでしょうが…
晴れているともう少し暖かいかもですが、やや雲っていたので長く風に吹かれていると寒いです。防寒着は必須です。外国の方は寒さに強いので半袖でも平気そうでしたが、普通の日本人は厚手の上着がないと無理だと思います。
酔い止めは念のため飲んで行きましたが、無くても大丈夫かな?という程度でした。でもこれは海の状態に寄るので、持っておいたほうがいいと思います。
鯨達は2〜3頭いるようで、時々姿を見せました。割とすぐに見つかったので、拍子抜けする位でした。時期も良かったのかもしれません。1月-2月中旬がベストシーズンだそうです。これから行かれる方の参考になれば嬉しいです。

I used Roberts a month ago, and it was the same driver. He seemed to like jokes, and the foreigners were laughing heartily, but I couldn't understand any English. The car was of a type with the cargo area inside, and it felt like the passengers had to help a bit with loading and unloading the luggage.

The pickup time at the hotel was 11:05, and the driver arrived right on time. We confirmed our names on the driver's device and waited for other customers before heading to the airport. The bus was nearly full, but it didn't feel cramped at all; the seats were comfortable, and even though the ride to the airport was short, I was able to enjoy a pleasant journey. The driver repeatedly reminded us to check for our belongings, saying, "Don't forget your wallet, phone, bag, etc.!" I always use Roberts Hawaii's shuttle whenever I come to Hawaii, and I've never had any issues. It's always a reliable service, so I will continue to use it in the future!
ホテルへのお迎え時間が11時5分でしたが、時間ぴったりにドライバーさんがお迎えに来てくださいました。ドライバーさんが持っている端末で名前を確認し、他のお客様を待っていざ空港へ。

Since my trip to Hawaii is from a country other than Japan, I always use the Roberts Hawaii shuttle for airport transfers. After arriving, as soon as I exit through the personal exit, there are plenty of staff wearing Roberts Hawaii shuttle uniforms, so I can check in right there by providing my reservation details. (The staff each have devices, so they can smoothly confirm and assist with reservations.)
After that, I hand my suitcase to the staff, and they accurately inform me of the meeting point, so there's no chance of getting lost. Many buses from Roberts Hawaii shuttle come to the airport, and they call out names to guide everyone to the correct bus.
When boarding, the driver also confirms the hotel where I'm staying to ensure there are no mistakes, which provides great peace of mind. The driver gives a guided tour in English from the airport to my hotel in Waikiki, so I arrive in no time. I definitely want to use this service every time I go to Hawaii in the future.
ハワイ渡航が日本以外の国からなので、空港送迎便は必ずロバーツハワイのシャトルを利用しています。到着後、個人出口から出るとすぐにロバーツハワイシャトルの制服を着たスタッフがたくさんいるので、予約内容を伝えるとすぐにその場でチェックインができます。(スタッフは各自端末を持っているのでスムーズに予約を確認、対応してくれます)
その後、スーツケースをスタッフへ渡し、待ち合わせ場所も的確に教えてくれますので、迷うことはありません。
ロバーツハワイシャトルのバスは何台も空港に来ますが、
誰がどのバスに乗るかも、しっかり名前を呼んでくれて案内してくれます。
乗車時にも再度宿泊先ホテルをドライバーさんが確認し、乗り間違いのないように段階を踏んで聞いてくれるので、とても安心できます。
空港からワイキキのホテルまでもドライバーさんが(英語で)ガイドをしてくれながらなので、あっという間に到着します。
ハワイへ行く時は今後も毎回利用したいと思います。

This is my second time using this service, and both times have been disappointing. They offer 24-hour support, so I have no choice but to rely on them.
When I inquired about the travel time between the airport and Waikiki, I was told it would take 90 minutes. It's clear that it shouldn't take that long unless there's traffic, so I was wondering why it takes so long. It turns out that it takes time for passengers to gather at the airport, and once we arrive in Waikiki, they drive around to drop off each hotel, which causes delays. I understand that this is unavoidable, but...
During my first experience, the driver took a long detour even though the hotel was nearby, going back and forth on the same road, which took forever. When I directly asked why they were being so inefficient, the driver seemed a bit down, but it felt like they thought passengers wouldn't know the area. They just kept saying "Aloha" to brush it off, which left me feeling really upset.
This time, I managed to find the staff at the airport and checked in. I was told, "Please wait on the sofa; I'll call you when all the passengers have gathered." But while I was waiting on the sofa, looking at my phone, I was left behind without realizing it.
This is unbelievable; what's going on?
今回で2回目の利用ですが
2回とも残念でした
24時間対応してくれるので
ここにしか頼めないから仕方なく利用しますが。
空港〜ワイキキ間はどれくらい時間かかるのか問い合わせたら90分と言われる
渋滞でもない限り90分もかかる距離じゃないのは明らかだから、何でそんなにかかるんだろー?と思ってたら
空港での乗客の集合に時間がかかるのと
ワイキキに着いてからも
各ホテルに送ってくれるせいで
ワイキキの中をグルグル動くからでした。
それは仕方ないことなんたけど、、
1回目はドライバーが
近くのホテルなのにわざわざ遠回りしたり
同じ道を何度も行ったり来たりしながら送迎し
めちゃくちゃ時間かかった。
直接なんでそんな非効率な周り方するのか尋ねたら、ちょっとションボリしてたけど
地理関係を乗客が知らないとでも思ってるのか
すべてアロハーって言って誤魔化してる感じ
すごく気分悪かった
今回は空港でちゃんとスタッフを見つけ
チェックインし"
そこのソファで待っててね、乗客が揃ったら声かけるから"と言われたので
ソファで携帯触りながら待ってたら
いつの間にか置いてかれてたし。
あり得ないでしょ、どうなってんの笑

My husband and I participated together. The weather in Honolulu wasn't great, so I was wondering how it would turn out, but Kailua was on the other side of the mountain, and the weather was perfect!
For an additional fee, we rented bikes and went to Lanikai Beach beyond Kailua Beach. It was unbelievably beautiful. The staff member helped us reserve pancakes from Boots & Kimo's, and even though it was takeout, we were able to eat without waiting in line! Shopping at Whole Foods Market and Target was also a breeze on the bike.
I was really happy that we stopped by Leonard's to have malasadas on the way back! Thank you very much.
主人と2人で参加しました。
ホノルルは天気が良くなく、どうなるかと思いましたが、カイルアは山の向こう側だったので、最高の天気でした!
別料金ですが自転車を借りてカイルアビーチの先のラニカイビーチまで行きました。びっくりするほど綺麗でした。

Whole Foods Market、targetの買い物も自転車で楽々でした。

Last year, I participated in a tour swimming with dolphins from another company, but this time I joined Dolphin University.
On this day, it was quite difficult to find a spot where the dolphin pod was gathering, but once the snorkeling point was confirmed, I enjoyed watching the dolphins swim right by my feet.
During snorkeling, the staff guides you to where the dolphins are, but those who swim slowly might not make it in time. My fourth-grade son was able to keep up easily.
The slide set up from the boat after snorkeling was also fun, and we got to play on it multiple times.
It's a good idea to bring an action cam for underwater filming.
去年は他社のイルカと一緒に泳ぐツアーに参加しましたが、今回はイルカ大学に参加しました。
この日はイルカの群れが集まっている場所がなかなか見つかりませんでしたが、シュノーケリングポイントが確定してからはイルカの群れが足元を泳いでいくのが楽しめました。
シュノーケリング中にイルカのいる場所までスタッフのみなさんが誘導してくれますが、泳ぎの遅い方は間に合わないかもしれません。
小学4年生の息子は余裕で間に合っていました。
シュノーケリング後にボートから設営されるスライダーも楽しく何度も遊ばせてもらいました。
水中で撮影できるアクションカムを持っていくと良いですよ。

I boarded the ship, listened to lively music, enjoyed delicious drinks, and watched the sunset. The location was absolutely perfect! It's no problem at all if you don't understand English. I was thrilled when I spotted a whale in the distance. I went in January, and it was a bit chilly, so I think those participating in the winter should bring a thicker jacket, like a hoodie, instead of just a cardigan to enjoy without worrying about the cold. I want to ride again and again!

The weather was cloudy, and it started to rain after we set sail, so I had given up on seeing whales. However, we were able to see them spouting water multiple times and even catch a glimpse of their tails. The weather gradually improved, allowing us to enjoy our time comfortably on the second and third decks.
Perhaps due to the family discount, there were many foreign families with children, creating a lively atmosphere that felt like being on a kindergarten field trip. After lunch, I noticed some adults who had been moved by the whale sightings were taking naps. Since we cruised from 11:30 AM until after 2 PM, it seemed some adults were getting bored.
We entered from the first floor and had to move between the second and third floors via stairs. When I asked about how wheelchair users would manage, I was told they would have to stay on the first floor. The lunch menu included ham, cheese, fruit, lettuce and tomato for mini hamburgers, and slices of roast beef. Cookies were also provided. Coffee was $1, and alcoholic drinks were $10.
天気が曇りで、出航してからは雨が降り出しましたので、クジラの出現は諦めていたのですが、何度も潮吹くのを見たり、尾びれも見ることが出来ました。
天気は徐々に回復して、2階や3階のデッキで気持ち良く過ごすことも出来ました。
ファミリー割引があるためか、外国人の子供連れが多く、幼稚園の遠足の中にいるような感じで、ものすごく賑やかでした。
ランチを頂いた後、何度かクジラの出現に感動していた大人の中には、昼寝に入っている人も見掛けました。
11時半出航2時過ぎまでクルージングなので、大人の中には飽きる人もあるようです。
1階部分から入り、2階~3階への階段の移動があります。
車いすの人はどうするのか聞いたところ、1階のみで過ごすことになるとの事でした。
ランチメニューは、ハムやチーズ、フルーツ、ミニハンバーガー用に挟む、レタスやトマト、ローストビーフのスライス。クッキーなどが用意されていました。コーヒーは1ドル。お酒は10ドルでした。
アロハ、レビューありがとうございます!マジェスティック号で楽しいクルーズをお楽しみいただけたこと、そしてクジラを見ることができたことを嬉しく思います!フィードバックに感謝し、またお会いできることを願っています。マハロ!

I participated in the morning! It was very early, but thanks to Julie's conversation along the way, I arrived at the port without getting bored. One of the most impressive things she said was that we must find Mr. Dolphin!
It actually took about two hours to find him, and most of the boats had given up on seeing Mr. Dolphin, but I persevered and finally saw him! I’m not very comfortable in the ocean, and it was my first time snorkeling, but I managed! The longer I searched, the more I wanted to meet him again. I want to participate again!
I recommend not scheduling anything after the participation because it's nature, and sticking to the schedule can be tough.
On the day, I saw: 1) a manta ray, 2) a sea turtle, 3) two whales, and 4) Mr. Dolphin. I saw the whales more than Mr. Dolphin, probably because it was the season!
Also, for beginners, instead of bringing a camera and risking dropping it in the ocean, I think it's better to take pictures on the boat. The photographer will take pictures in the water, so relying on that is the best option! However, if you do bring a camera, make sure it’s waterproof! Use a waterproof camera or case, and keep your belongings in a waterproof bag! It was quite cold in the morning, so wearing an ultra-light down jacket was just right.
Since you’ll be on the boat for a long time, take precautions against seasickness! However, if you look far away, you won’t get seasick!
Please search hard!
Have a great trip!
わたしは午前に参加しました!朝がとても早かったですが、道中ジュリさんが話し通してくれたので飽きることなく港に到着。その中でイルカ先生を必ず見つける!というのが印象的な言葉でした
実際見つけるまでに2時間ほどかかりましたが、ほとんどの船がイルカ先生を見ることに諦めていましたがねばってやっと見れました!
わたしは海が苦手で、シュノーケリングも初めてでしたがなんとかなりました!
長く探せば探すほど先生に会いたくなります
また参加したいです!
オススメはその参加のとき、後ろに予定を入れないほうがいいとおもいます!自然相手なので時間通りはきついと思います
※私は当日会えたのは①マンタ②ウミガメ③クジラ2頭④イルカ先生
クジラはシーズンだったのかイルカ先生より会えました笑
あと、初心者の方は自分でイルカ撮るぞ!とカメラ持っていって海に落とすより、船内で写真を撮るイメージがいいとおもいます。カメラマンが海では撮ってくれるのでそれに頼るほうがベストだと思います笑
ただ、持っていくなら必ず防水対策を!!防水カメラや防水ケースに‥
荷物は防水袋に!!朝はかなり寒いのでウルトラライトダウンを着てちょうどよかったです。
だいぶ長く船にいるので船酔い対策を!ただ。遠くを観ていると酔いません!
一生懸命探してください!
それでは良い旅を!

My little family of 3 took a much-needed, very rare vacation for six days on Oahu, and on the final day scheduled an afternoon sailing cruise. Unfortunately our 22yo daughter was ill and unable to go along with the two of us on the Catamaran, and we were unable to get a refund for her ticket. However, I did not regret a penny we spent on the ride. The captain and crew were entertaining, and kept the beverages flowing along with the banter. They were non-intrusive when we just wanted to enjoy the view and ride, and wonderfully instructive when there were sights to see and safety precautions to take. We loved every minute, and wanted it to last much longer than it did, even though we are not boat-out-on-open-water people at all. Thank you for a wonderful end to our vacation!

We stored our valuables in lockers, and any larger bags or hoodies that wouldn’t fit in the lockers were left with the receptionist.
On the second or third zip line, I was told to grab the reddish rope at the landing point, but I couldn't grip it well and ended up reversing, so the instructor had to rescue me. I felt really sorry and apologized, but the instructor was very kind and said it was okay in English. More than anything, it was cool to see them helping me (laughs). Although I couldn't communicate in Japanese, they taught me with gestures. I love thrill rides, so I really enjoyed the zip line!! I want to do it again.

We were very lucky to see whales throughout most of the tour. At least 10 sightings, usually with 2 whales at a time.
Food was delicious but it was hard to sit and enjoy your meal when you are looking for whales too. Every time someone shouted "WHALE!", everyone dropped everything but their cameras and ran towards the edge of the deck.
Luckily, there were a lot of whales out that day so I got to finish my food and saw plenty of whales.
Photos don't do justice for whale watch tours, it's better to watch with your own eyes. You don't want to be fussing over your camera because next thing you know, the whales have disappeared back underwater.
Wonderful experience, would love to go again!

The skies were grey and even with light drizzle the humpback whales were there along with the warm crew of the Star of Honolulu to greet us in Hawaii! I've never seen so many whales on one whale watch and it was my first time to see a turquoise color right next to the whale. Their white pectoral fins turns changes color underwater so it was easier to spot them this time around. The lunch on board was delicious...... The roast beef and those macadamia nut cookies keeps you going back for more. Thank you Star of Honolulu for a very stable ride and wonderful experience to see these enormous animals up so close!

We experienced this as a couple. As soon as we arrived, we were able to board the boat without waiting. There were a total of four groups on the boat. Right after boarding, we were given life jackets and headed out to sea! It was cloudy, so it was cold until we got out to the open water—I regretted not bringing a long-sleeve rash guard, but once we were up in the air, I forgot all about the cold and had so much fun! The 150-meter height and the duration of the flight were longer compared to others, and I didn't feel much fear at all. I had confirmed the photo service for $30 from previous experiences, and I was glad I ordered it because I received photos that I couldn't take myself! The tip and photo service payment are separate, so it's a good idea to bring some small change. You can return within two hours, making it a great way to use your morning or afternoon—highly recommended!
夫婦二人で体験しました。
到着してすぐ、待たずに船に乗れました。合計4組で船に乗りました。

曇っていたので沖に出るまでが寒かったですー長袖のラッシュガードを持って行けばよかったと後悔しましたが、上空は寒さも忘れるくらい楽しかったですー!150メートル、滞空時間もほかに比べて長いですし恐怖感はそこまで感じませんでした。

Our driver was amazing! He kept up a running commentary on all the best places to eat, names of plants, celebrity houses, the works. He was always willing to answer questions no matter how stupid they sounded. He gave up plenty of info on the area we would be snorkeling in and the best parts of the reef to visit. He unfortunately did not have a pair of prescription goggles that I could use (I forgot to mention when booking) but he let me know I could rent a pair at the bay to ensure that I could see all the wonders below the ocean. He also had underwater cameras for purchase which was a bonus!!!
10/10 I would totally book transportation to go snorkeling with this company again.

I participated with my 7-year-old son.
While experiencing the nature and culture of Hawaii from the boat, we encountered three teachers: the dolphin, the whale, and the sea turtle.
My son was super excited by the whale teacher's splash.
We also met many of our favorite green sea turtle teachers.
We had a hard time finding the dolphin teacher, but we finally met just before returning to the harbor and swam with it, even though it was a bit far away.
Thanks to the staff, my son was able to experience all the activities.
I lack physical strength, but thanks to the staff, my son had an unforgettable experience.
I don't know when the next time will be, but I want to build my stamina for a re-enrollment at Dolphin University.
7歳の息子と二人で参加。
船上からのハワイの自然、文化に触れながら先生たちの元へ、
イルカ。クジラ。ウミガメ。三先生に出会えました。
クジラ先生のスプラッシュに息子大興奮。
大好きなアオウミガメ先生にもたくさんであいました。
イルカ先生にはなかなか会えず帰港間際に出会え、少々遠いながらも一緒にドルフィンスイム。
息子、アクティビティーもスタッフの皆様のおかげですべて体験できました。
私は体力がなくスタッフ皆様のおかげで息子が一生の思い出となる経験ができました。
次回はいつになるかわかりませんがイルカ大学再入学のために母は体力をつけたいと思います。

The whole Polynesian Cultural Center experience is a must when visiting Oahu. We to Oahu in 2016 and was so fortunate to be able to go back and see this venue. There was plenty of things to do in a day (and everyone should go back either two or three days), seeing the tickets are good for three days. The cultural entertainment was very intriguing. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do many activities on the island as there was just so much to consume the first day there.
The staff was very attentive and friendly, most of them students. Any monies spent went to the tuition and any educational expenses.
The luau was a delight. Plenty of food and very organized!
Highly Recommend!!

I watched the show for the first time this time.
I was able to see it from a seat right in front of the stage.
The dinner was delicious, and once the show started, I was so captivated that I forgot to breathe.
I was moved to tears.
It was the best time.
I want to come again.
今回初めてショーを観ました。
ステージ前の席で観れました。
ディナーも美味しく、ショーが始まってからは呼吸をするのを忘れてしまうほど魅了されてしまいました。
涙が出るほど感動しました。
最幸の時間。
また来たいです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

I attended with my two children, one in first grade and the other in fourth grade, and the staff provided support, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. After searching for a while, we were able to see many wild dolphins.
*I recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness.*
小1、小4の2人の子連れでしたが、スタッフの方々にも、サポートいただき安心して参加できました。しばらくイルカ探しした後、沢山の野生イルカに会えました。

The sandbar didn't appear, and it was cold! If you're going in January, you might need to wear a wetsuit to enjoy it! Also, long sleeves and something to cover up are a must!
However, at the snorkeling spots, the cold disappeared, and I was able to observe the fish closely! The snorkeling staff were very kind and considerate, which was great!
Since the only drinks available were carbonated, if you're not a fan, it's better to bring your own water or tea! Also, for those with children, I recommend bringing something to eat for when they can't have a meal!
Participating in the tour became a wonderful memory thanks to the consideration of the guides!
サンドバーもあらわれず、寒いっ‼︎
1月に行かれる方はウェットスーツを着ないと楽しめないかも!あとは長袖と羽織るもの必須!
だけどもシュノーケルをするところでは、寒さがなくなり、魚をじっくり見れました!
シュノーケルの方々は凄く優しいですし、気遣ってくれてよかったです!
飲み物が炭酸しかないので苦手な方は水やお茶を持参した方がよいです!あとは子供連れの方は食べれない時に何か持っていくことをオススメします!
ツアー参加はツアーを案内してくれた方々の気遣いで良い思い出にはなりました!

I thought it was a sandbar, but the tide came in, and it turned into just a sandy shallow area. Given the season, it was cold just to have my feet in the water, so in the end, I went in the sea a bit and then waited on the boat. It should be mentioned in advance that this only happens during low tide, or that it will turn into a sandy shallow area.
サンドバーだと思ったら、潮が満ちて、単なる砂地の浅瀬になってた。季節柄、足だけ浸かってると寒いし、結局ちょっと海に入って後は船上で待機。引き潮の時に限るか、砂地の浅瀬になるということを事前に言っておくべき。

- The weather was cloudy, but when the sun broke through, the color of the sea changed dramatically and was beautiful.
- I participated in January, and it was very cold with strong winds. Warm clothing is a MUST.
- Reef shoes are convenient to have.
- I thought the prices were a bit high for what was offered.
・天気が曇っていたのですが、晴れ間が指したときに、海の色が一気に変わって綺麗でした。
・1月に参加しましたが、風が強く、非常に寒かったです。防寒着はMUSTです。
・リーフシューズがあると便利です
・料金については内容については少し高いかなと思いました
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. January is winter, so even though Hawaii has a tropical image, it can feel cold when you're right in the middle of the ocean. Thank you for your advice regarding the tour. The contrast of the sea colors on a sunny day is exceptional! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 一月は冬ですので、常夏のイメージがあるハワイですが、海のど真ん中にいると寒く感じることもありますよね。ツアーへのアドバイスありがとうございます。晴れ間の海の色のコントラストは格別ですよね!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
