Oahu
We participated with two adults and children aged 2 and 0. The shuttle bus accommodated our stroller, and we arrived at the departure port. Since it was early in the morning, we bought some bread to eat after boarding. The ship was wheelchair accessible, making it easy to move around with the stroller.
After we set sail, there was an announcement that whales could be seen. We spotted whales jumping and spouting water several times. It seemed like it was raining a bit in the distance, and we were lucky enough to see a double rainbow, capturing both the rainbow and the whales in photos, which made us feel very fortunate.
大人2人 2歳0歳の子連れで参加しました。
送迎車にはベビーカーも積んでもらい、出発港に到着しました。
朝早かったため、パンを買っておき乗船後に食べました。船内はバリアフリーになっているためベビーカーでの移動も楽々でした。
出航してからしばらくしてクジラが見えるとのアナウンスがありました。
ジャンプしたり潮を吹くくじらが何度も見えました。遠くで少し雨が降っていたのか、ダブルレインボーも見られ、虹とくじらが同時に写真におさめられ、とてもラッキーな気持ちになりました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

I participated on Valentine's Day, February 14.
The weather forecast had predicted rain and even thunderstorms.
However, on the day itself, although it was quite cloudy, I was able to see many whales.
Right after the boat set out, I was lucky enough to see a big rainbow in the distance, the first one of this trip.
It was windy and cold, but I desperately filmed videos.
There were quite a few baby whales.
They seemed to be jumping with all their might, which was adorable.
If the weather had been nice, I would have seen the most beautiful scenery, but overall, I was satisfied.
Like me, most people were watching from the top deck, but actually, viewing from around the second deck might have been better because it was closer.
参加したのは2/14バレンタインデー。
ずっと天気予報は雨、更に雷マーク。
でも当日は雲が多めだったものの、沢山の鯨を見る事が出来ました。
船が出て直ぐに、今回の旅で初めての遠くにかかる大きな虹まで見られてラッキー。
風が強くて寒かったものの、必死に動画撮影しました。
ベイビー鯨が多めでした。
一所懸命にジャンプしているようで可愛かった。
もしお天気が良かったなら最高に美しい景色が見られたはずでしたが、概ね満足。
私もそうでしたが、皆さんも最上階で見ている方が殆どでしたが、実は2階辺りで見るのが距離が近くて良かったかも?
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

activity instructions were not clear as there are 2 Outrigger hotels on Waikiki beach- maybe that can be made clear for future bookings.
safety instructions were good and snorkelling excellent with 2 helpers in the water to show where the turtles and fish were and keep you in the area. Waves were picking up when we left and I'm not a good sailor, so I didnt have any snacks or drinks . Sails were raised and all the crew were very good for the sail around the harbour.
I went with my sixth-grade child. It was a bit pricey, but I'm glad we signed up! (^o^)/ You don't need to understand English! The staff communicate with gestures and really try to help, and even if you don't understand half of it, you can still have fun.
You'll get used to the zip line after a few tries, and you'll have the chance to take photos and videos. Some people might find the first ride a bit scary, but surprisingly, it goes smoothly.
For the second activity, we played at the Adventure Tower. A staff member guided us, and of course, she was a foreigner and not great at English! But it was fine; you can understand through gestures. It was as fun as Ariyoshi said during the summer vacation!
There were some parts that felt a bit scary (up high), so I thought, "This is definitely free!" and I kept shouting "NO!" while only letting the kids go. They were overjoyed. We played until around 2:00 to 2:30.
I highly recommend you go at least once! There were also quite a few older ladies in their 60s to 70s there.
小学六年生の子どもと一緒に行きました。
少しお高めですが、申し込みして良かったです(^o^)/
英語がわからなくても大丈夫!
スタッフの人も身振り手振りで教えてくれるし、頑張ってコミュニケーションをとろうとしてくれるが、半分もわからないが楽しめます。

初めの一回目が少し怖い人もいるかもしれないが、案外ス〜っといけますよ。
二つ目は、アドベンチャータワーで遊びました。
お姉さんが指導してくれました。
もちろん外国人です英語苦手❗
でも大丈夫なんとなく身振りでわかります。
有吉夏休みでやってたとおり楽しかったです❗
少し怖いと思うところ(上のほう)があったのでここは絶対無料って思ったのでNO〜〜〜と叫びまくり子どもだけ行かせました

けっこう2時〜2時半くらいまで遊びました。
ぜひぜひ一度行って下さい\(^o^)/
けっこう年のいった60〜70代ぐらいのおば様方もいてましたよ
We were blessed with good weather, but for a while after setting sail, there were no signs of dolphins, and I started to lose hope, thinking it was just nature. Then, during our last chance, we encountered a large pod of about 60 dolphins! We were able to swim quite close to them and even witnessed them jumping, which was incredibly exciting.
On our way back, we had another amazing encounter with a mother whale and her calf at a surprisingly close distance! I was moved by the adorable sight of the baby whale mimicking its mother by flapping its tail. At the sea turtle spot, I was also thrilled to swim alongside a quite large sea turtle.
Even if you're not a strong swimmer, the instructors were very attentive, making for a safe and enjoyable experience!
Thank you very much! ^ ^
天候に恵まれましたが、出航してから暫くイルカの影も形もなく、自然相手だしと諦めモードに。
ラストチャンスの回遊で60頭ぐらいのイルカの大群に遭遇!かなり近くで泳げ、ジャンプする姿にも巡り会えて大興奮。
大満足で帰り途中、かなり近めの距離でクジラの親子に遭遇!赤ちゃんクジラが親を真似て尻尾をパタパタする可愛らしい姿に感激。ウミガメスポットでもかなり大きなウミガメと一緒に泳げ大満足でした。
泳ぎが苦手でもインストラクターの皆さんがしっかりとアテンドしてくれ、安心&楽しい時間でした!
ありがとうございました^ ^
It's the same as human parents and children, where the baby whale learns various things by imitating its mother. Thank you for participating!
クジラの赤ちゃん、お母さんの真似をして色々と覚えていくのは人間の親子と同じなんですね。
ご参加ありがとうございました!
I saw it two years ago, and this time I watched it from the Diamond Seat. As expected from a Hilton show, the level of the dancers was high, and my whole family was very satisfied. However, I'm concerned about what would happen if it started to rain heavily, although it was just a light rain this time and it stopped quickly.
2年前にも見ましたが、今回もダイヤモンドシートで見ました。やはりヒルトンのショウだけあって、ダンサーのレベルも高く、家族全員大満足でした。ただし心配なのは今回は小雨ですぐやんだので大丈夫でしたが、途中で大雨になったらどうなるのかな??
It was the perfect excursion! Went on a 2 hour boat ride with really chill dudes, they took us out to the perfect spot and wet hot close to a bunch of turtles, and finally finished off our trip with some stuff drinks and a relaxing return back to the beach. Highly recommend!
The transfer from the hotel to the airport was a bit challenging. On the way there, the meeting point was at the farthest bus terminal within the vast hotel grounds, which took about 15 minutes to reach the accommodation building. The slope and uneven surfaces made it difficult to move with my luggage. On the return trip, I realized that the pickup location on the opposite side of the hotel was closer, so I requested a change to pick up in front of that hotel, including other optional tours. This made it much easier to get to the airport, even with more luggage. I appreciate your assistance. Thank you.
ホテルから空港への送迎。行きは到着場所が広大なホテル敷地内の一番奥のバスターミナルでであったため、宿泊棟まで15分くらいかかってしまい坂道で段差があり、コロコロ引いての移動は大変でした。帰路は、反対側のホテルのピックアップ場所の方が近いことがわかり、他のオプショナルツアーも含めてそのホテル前に、現地から変更をお願いしましたので、荷物が増えても楽に空港に行けました。お手数をおかけしました。ありがとうございました。
Shuttle transportation from Honolulu Airport to the hotel. I have used it every year. They are very kind, and they handle the luggage carefully, which is reassuring. Thank you.
ホノルル空港から、ホテルまでのシャトル輸送。毎年利用しました。大変親切で、荷物の扱いも丁寧で安心です。ありがとう。
The pickup arrangements at the hotel were poor, and it took a long time to get on the bus.
Whether or not you can see whales really depends on luck...
This time, I was able to see the back and tail fins about two or three times. I think it was more impressive from the bottom deck?
A friend who participated on a different day mentioned that they missed seeing a whale because there was an announcement while they were eating, so that's something to take personal responsibility for. There are plans that include meals and various experiences, but it really depends on what you want to focus on.
ホテルでのピックアップの段取りが悪く、なかなかバスに乗れなかった
クジラが見える見れないは本当に運しだいなので。。。
今回は2~3回背中と尾ひれが見れました。
一番下のデッキで見たほうが迫力あったかな?
別の日に参加した知人は食事をしている途中にクジラ発見のアナウンスがあり見逃してしまったと言っていたので、そこらへんは自己責任ということで。
食事や、各種体験付きのプランありますが、どこに主眼を置くかってところですね。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise this time.
Also, thank you for sharing so many photos of the whales.
Regarding the transportation, we will share your comments internally and use them for future improvements.

Wow! We had such a good time on the boat this morning. Was convenient to get the boat at 10.30 just after breakfast from right on the beach. Crew were friendly and just a short journey out to Turtle Canyon! The crew were fun and helpful, and when we got to Turtle Canyon we were lucky enough to see 6+ turtles, many fish and the crew/ lifeguard/ guide pointed out a few extra interesting things. We had plenty of time to be in the water looking at the turtles, most people returned to the boy long before they had to and enjoyed a few drinks in a beautiful setting.
We looked out for whales or dolphins on the way back but didn’t get lucky, Aparently they are there though and can sometimes be seen.
They provided life jackets which were good to snorkel with as don’t have to take too much effort to stay floating and can easily deflate if you want to dive down.
Not was not too crowded, we had only about 15 people but they did say they can do up to 49 people and I imagine that would be very crowded!
At turtle canyon there were quite a few other boats but if you were patient it wasn’t that bad in the water snorkeling around, just watch out for any collisions with other swimmers!
The crew were good and kept an eye on us in the water at all times too, letting people know if they were going too far or anything and also pointing out where the turtles are!
In summary, something we would love to do again and would certainly recommend to any other people visiting Hawaii!
There isn’t much shade on the bot was one thing with nothing - so take a hat if it’s a sunny day!
Crew were very generous providing drinks on board too! I’d be surprised if anyone managed to have all three free drinks though after the snorkel (no alcohol before swimming) it’s only 20 mins back to the beach.
I had my first horseback riding experience with my 9-year-old son and my husband. My horse and my husband's horse were calm and followed the staff's horse, but there were times when my son's horse wouldn't move away from the line, which made me think that my son might have been a bit nervous, and that might have been communicated to the horse. The horses started walking at the staff's cue. We were able to leisurely explore nature and ride the horses, which was very soothing.
One disappointing thing was that the staff explained how to ride and the precautions in English, so I couldn't understand much. However, my son seemed to have enjoyed it and said he would like to ride again when we come back.
9歳の息子と主人と3人で初乗馬体験しました。
主人と私の馬は大人しく並んでスタッフの馬の後ろを付いていたが、
息子の馬が列を離れて動こうとは、しない事があったので少し息子も緊張してたのが馬にも伝わったのかなぁと思いました。スタッフの掛け声で馬は歩きだしました。自然の中をゆっくり見て回れて馬にも普通に乗れて癒されました。
残念な事は、スタッフが最初に乗り方や注意事項を説明されたが、英語だったので、あまり理解出来ませんでした。でも息子は、楽しかったみたいで又、来た時は乗りたいと云ってました。
アロハ!レビューをありがとうございます。お子様が素晴らしい時間を過ごされたことをとても嬉しく思います!またお会いできることを願っています!マハロ!
Aloha! Thank you so much for your review and we are very glad that your son had a wonderful time! We hope to see you all again! Mahalo!
There is a dock about an hour from the hotel by shuttle bus, where we take a boat to the sandbar.
The area where the boat arrives at the sandbar was about waist-deep, but in some places, it was shallow enough to reach just below the knees.
While the sand did not emerge above the water's surface, the view was absolutely stunning! It felt surreal to walk in the middle of the ocean.
As soon as we arrived, we were able to see sea turtles swimming near the anchored boats, and during snorkeling, we saw sea turtles resting on the coral and many fish.
The staff spoke Japanese and made the experience very enjoyable.
I’m really glad I participated in the tour.
One thing to note is that this activity is weather-dependent. I participated in February, which is not only the rainy season but also when the water can feel cold. If it’s not sunny, the view may not be as breathtaking. Additionally, the UV rays are strong.
I recommend applying sunscreen, wearing a rash guard, bringing a slightly larger towel to dry off after getting out of the boat, and bringing something like a hoodie to wear.
送迎バスでホテルから1時間ほどのところに船着き場があり、船でサンドバーに向かいます。
サンドバーは、船が到着する場所は腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、場所によっては膝下ぐらいまでになるところもあります。
砂が水面から顔を出すことはありませんでしたが、大絶景!です。
海の真ん中を歩く非日常感。
停泊している船の近くを泳ぐウミガメを到着してすぐに見ることができ、シュノーケリングでは海底のサンゴの上で休んでいるウミガメとたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
スタッフさんは日本語で盛上げてくれるのでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
注意点としては、天候に左右されるアクティビティであることです。
2月に参加していますが、この時期は雨季であるばかりでなく、海に入ると寒く感じます。
晴れていない時は大絶景とまではいかないかもしれません。
そして、紫外線は強いです。
日焼け止めを塗り、ラッシュガードを着用することと、船から上がったら体をしっかり拭くことができるように少し大きめのタオルを用意すること、パーカー等の羽織る物を持参することをおすすめします。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We appreciate your kind words, "I'm really glad I participated in the tour!" As the staff operating the tour, this feedback motivates us for the future. Thank you also for sharing your notes. February, which is winter in Hawaii, can indeed be quite chilly on some days. The water temperature can also be cold. Since we head out into the middle of the ocean, it's a good idea to have a jacket, not just in winter but also in summer. We look forward to welcoming you back again!

Whale watching with my parents! The sea was a bit chilly with some wind, but we were able to see whales about three times. Besides the whales, we also enjoyed views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, making it a wonderful memory!

The tour took place in Hawaii under unusually low and rough weather conditions. Right after departure, many people started feeling seasick, but it turned out to be a lucky day, as we encountered a large pod of dolphins that swam leisurely beside us and even surfaced, which the crew described as a miracle. During snorkeling after the dolphins, we also had the rare chance to see a ray.
The weather changed rapidly, with rain, sunshine, and clouds, but thanks to that, we were able to see a double rainbow. The strong winds made it difficult to stop shivering on the boat. There was no place to change out of wet swimsuits, so we had to dry off with towels and put on a jacket while still wet. Those who are not confident in the cold should be cautious on cloudy days. For those worried about seasickness, I recommend starting with a shorter dolphin tour.
ハワイでは滅多にない気温が低く荒れ気味の天候の元でのツアーでした。出航直後から船酔いする人続出でしたが、イルカの大群に出会えた上、イルカ達がずっと私達のそばを悠々と泳いだり、水面に浮かび上がって来たりすらクルー曰く奇跡のようなラッキーデーでした。イルカの後の亀とシュノーケリングの際も珍しくエイに出会えたりしました。
途中雨が降り、晴れ間が出たり曇ったりと目まぐるしく天気が変わりましたがお陰でダブルレインボーまで見られました。
風が強くて船上で体の震えが止まらず辛かったです。濡れた水着を着替える場所は無いのでタオルで拭いて濡れたまま上に上着を羽織るしかありません。寒さに自信のない人は曇りの日は要注意です。船酔いの心配な人はまずは時間の短いイルカ中学に入学する事をお勧めします。
The weather in Hawaii is very changeable. One delightful feature of this is that you can often see rainbows. Sometimes, you can even catch a beautiful double rainbow forming a perfect semicircle on the horizon. In Hawaii, the strong sunlight can make cloudy days or windy conditions feel much cooler, so please remember to prepare for the cold!
ハワイの天気はとても変わりやすいです。
その効果で虹が多く見られるのは嬉しい特徴ですね。
水平線上に綺麗に半円のダブルレインボーなんかも見れることがあります。
ハワイでは日差しが強い分、曇りの日や風が吹くととても体感が下がるので、皆さん忘れずに防寒対策をお願いします!
We boarded the boat as a family of four with our 2-year-old and 11-month-old baby! We were excited and a bit nervous wondering if we would see whales, but we enjoyed exploring the boat and taking in the scenery without getting bored. Since it was the rainy season in February, it was a bit chilly, so warm clothing was necessary.
The staff were wonderful; they played with the kids and smiled at them, gave us paper caps as gifts, and showed us videos and photos of whales and dolphins they had filmed in the past. They were very kind to the children.
As for the whales, we were able to see the spouting whales, their backs, and tails! When we saw them, everyone cheered, and it was more moving than we expected! I want to go again when the kids are older.
2歳児と11ヶ月の赤ちゃんをつれて家族4人で乗船しました!
クジラ、見れるかな〜〜とドキドキワクワクしながらも、船の中を散策したり、景色を楽しんだり、飽きることなく楽しめました。
2月の雨季の時期だったので肌寒かったので防寒具は必要でした。
スタッフのかたも子供たちをみるとみんな笑顔で遊んでくれたり、紙製のキャップをプレゼントしてくれたり、過去に自分たちが撮影したクジラやイルカの群れの動画や写真などを見せてくれて、子供たちにとても優しかったです。
肝心のクジラですが、潮吹きークジラの背中や尾びれ、見れました!
みれた瞬間はみんな大歓声で、思ったよりも感動しました!!
子供たちが大きくなったらもう一度見に行きたいと思います。

I was happy to fulfill my long-time dream of swimming with dolphins. I was able to see them up close. It was cold, but the wetsuit I borrowed was helpful. If there's one thing I want to mention, it's that since I rented a car, I met at the designated location, but the meeting point, the "public restroom," was quite hard to find. It was still dark at the meeting time, and other participants' bus was delayed, which made me quite anxious, wondering if I was at the wrong meeting point. In the end, I found out by asking someone from another tour company. I had asked during the confirmation call the day before, "Will I be able to find the restroom easily?" but the response was vague.
長年の夢(?)だった、イルカと泳ぐことができて嬉しかったです。しっかり見ることができました。寒かったのですが、お借りしたウエットスーツが役にたちました。一つだけ言っておきたいことがあるとしたら・・レンタカーのため、現地集合にしたのですが、集合場所の「公衆トイレ」がかなり分かりづらかったです。集合時間はまだ暗かったし、他の参加者のバスが遅れてきて、集合場所が違うのではないかと、かなり不安な気持ちになりました。最終的に、他のツアー会社さんの方にお聞きして判明しました。前日の参加確認の電話で「トイレってすぐに分かりますかね?」と聞いておきましたがその辺のお返事も曖昧でした。
Very nice casual and restful trip. The crew was very personable.
On our trip we saw whales.
Food was great with one exception that there was not enough. There is always a few customers that load there plates heaping full so other respectful customers don’t have enough to enjoy.
Suggest a little more food
On the morning of the day, when the shuttle bus arrived at the location, I was told that it was canceled. The day before, there had been bad weather, and as a result, the sea was murky. I changed my reservation to the latest time at 3 PM, thinking it might be better in the afternoon. However, the visibility was only about a meter. I felt that this was unacceptable, especially since I had paid over 15,000 yen. I think it would be completely different if I went on a nice day. I wish there had been a half-price refund system.
当日朝、送迎バスが現地に到着したときに、キャンセルになりましたと言われました。前日天候が悪い日があり、そのため海が濁ってるとのこと。午後ならいけるかもしれないと予約を変更して一番遅い3時になることに。しかしながら透明度がメートルほどでした。一万五千円以上払ってるのに、これはないなぁと思ったりもしました。天気の良い日に行くと全然違うんですよね、多分。半額バック制度があればよかったなー

I thought it would be difficult to catch it due to timing, and that turned out to be true. I'm glad I was able to see a bit of it towards the end. I appreciate the crew for their efforts.
なかなかタイミングが合わないと見れないと思っていたがその通りでした。終盤に少し見れたのでよかったです。クルーの方々には感謝したします。

The optional tour we had planned was suddenly canceled due to bad weather, so we made a last-minute reservation to participate that morning. The sea was very pleasant, and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. After a while, we encountered a mother whale and her calf, along with a pod of dolphins! They were very close, and we could hear the sounds they made when they spouted water. They stayed near the surface for a long time, allowing us to watch them for quite a while, which was incredibly moving! While the whale was diving, we enjoyed watching the dolphins jump, making for a very fulfilling experience.
予定していたオプショナルツアーが天候不良により急遽中止になってしまったため、当日朝に予約しての参加でした。

I was able to see whales a few times, and the view from the ocean near Waikiki and Diamond Head was amazing. The top observation deck is great, but the lower level had fewer people and might have been even better.

The weather was nice, and I was glad to be able to see whales.
Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, the sea was cold in February. I wore warm clothing and a hood, so I managed to stay comfortable. It's necessary to prepare for the cold.
I quickly realized that whales were visible thanks to the announcements from the guide and captain.
The whales that appeared repeatedly flapped their tails, almost as if they were waving.
天気も良くて、クジラも見ることが出来て良かったです。
常夏のハワイとは言え、2月の海上は寒かったです。
防寒着を着てフードを被っていたので、どうにか快適に過ごすことが出来ました。
寒さ対策は必要です。

I participated in February, which is winter and the rainy season in Hawaii. Although the wind felt a bit chilly, the weather was pleasant and enjoyable. Our shuttle bus driver, Pete, had a friendly and relaxing talk in Japanese that made the ride to the port fun from the start.
My partner, who has had ear surgery in the past, was a bit scared of the water, but the supportive staff and the variety of activities helped ease those worries. They explained that the boat would sway due to the wind, and they sold anti-nausea products for those who didn't bring medication or couldn't take it. We purchased some, and they worked very well for us. On our return flight, the plane was quite bumpy, and many people felt nauseous, but thanks to the anti-nausea products we bought, we were fine. It turned out to be a surprisingly good purchase (it's a good idea to bring cash in dollars if you plan to buy).
Once on the boat, our Japanese guide, Izumi, began her explanation. Izumi's explanations were excellent, clearly outlining what to do and what not to do, which was very impressive. We were excited to be there, but she emphasized the importance of following proper etiquette, not putting ourselves in danger, and not enduring discomfort if we felt unwell. She also mentioned that touching sea turtles incurs a fine of 350,000 yen. It was truly educational, as she provided explanations not found in the guidebook about protecting the environment for future visits.
The captain also tried to keep the boat steady and moved slowly. After about 20 minutes on the boat, we arrived at the planned beach location. Unfortunately, it wasn't a beach, but the shallow waters were calm and very beautiful.
We chose not to participate in snorkeling and instead enjoyed activities on the sandy bottom. The staff was engaging and made it easy to communicate any needs or issues.
Moreover, two sea turtles came close to us!
A cool foreign staff member took photos for us.
We enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch on the boat, which was filling and a lot of fun!
From start to finish, it was an exciting and enjoyable experience! Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you, Hawaii! I want to participate again.

私たちにはとても効果がありこの日の酔い止め効果も抜群でしたが、帰国の飛行機がかなり揺れて酔ってる人が多かったのですが、購入した酔い止めグッズを使用して酔わずに済みました。思わぬ良い買い物までできました。(購入するなら現金ドルを持って行くといいですよ)
船に乗ると日本人ガイドのIzumiさんの説明が始まります。Izumiさんの説明が秀逸でしっかりと良いこと、ダメなことをわかりやすく教えてくれて感動ものです。
私たちは楽しみにここに来ていること。
でも、楽しむためにはしっかりとマナーを守り、自分を危険に晒さないことはもちろん、具合悪かったら我慢しないことや、海ガメに触ると罰金35万円かかることなど。また次も気持ちよく参加ように環境を守る。ことのガイドブックには載っていない説明など本当に勉強になりました。
キャプテンもできるだけ揺れないようにゆっくりと船を走らせてくれました。船に乗ること20分くらいでビーチ予定の場所に到着。
残念ながらビーチにはなってませんでしたが、浅瀬で波も穏やかなのでとっても綺麗でした。
シュノーケリングには参加せず砂地でアクティビティを楽しむ方を選びました。
スタッフのみなさんが楽しくもりあげてくれて、いつでも必要なものや困りごとを伝えられる状態になってます。
しかも、海ガメさんたちが2匹も寄ってきてくれました。
写真もスタッフの外国人のカッコいいお兄さんが撮ってくれました。
船上で食べるブッフェランチもお腹いっぱい美味しく食べて、最高に楽しかったです!
最初から最後までずっと楽しくワクワクでした!
スタッフのみなさんありがとうございました。
ありがとう、ハワイ!
また参加したいです。

At first, I was a bit discouraged when I saw the full down dive and it didn't come back after 10 minutes, but when another whale appeared and I witnessed it slapping its tail multiple times, I was so moved that tears came to my eyes! I'm really glad I participated.
初めはフルークダウンダイブする姿を見て、10分過ぎても出てこず、少し諦めていましたが、もう一頭のくじらが出現し、何度もテールスラップする姿を見たときは感動して涙が出て来ました!
本当に参加してよかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the adorable sight of the whales slapping their tails. The photos you took are also very well-timed! Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

It was easy to participate since they came to pick me up at the hotel!
The people were very friendly, and I was able to have enjoyable conversations.
They took a lot of photos (for an additional fee), and I received beautiful pictures.
I had a great time with stunning views of Hawaii, and it became a memorable experience filled with fun and excitement!
ホテルまで迎えに来て頂いたので参加しやすかったです!
とてもフレンドリーな方々で、楽しくお話することも出来ました。
沢山写真も撮っていただき(別料金)、綺麗な写真も手に入りました。
ハワイの景色が一望でき、楽しさと感動でとにかく楽しかった思い出になりました!
The fireworks were very beautiful. Since I was looking forward to the fireworks, it was great.
However, due to the unfortunately cloudy sky, I couldn't enjoy the starry sky, which made it feel a bit too long for families with children.
The night view of Waikiki was beautiful, but it was cold and dark, and one cold drink was enough. After the fireworks festival, I wanted to return to the shore quickly.
花火はとても綺麗に見えました。花火が目当てだったので、良かったです。
ただ、あいにくの曇り空だったため、星空を楽しむ事が出来なかったこともあり、子連れファミリーにとっては、時間が長すぎる感じでした。
ワイキキの夜景は綺麗に見えましたが、寒いし暗いしで、冷たいドリンクも一杯でじゅうぶんだし、花火大会が終わったら早く岸に戻りたかったです。
The ship was fine, but the trip was disappointing, since we didn't see any whales. We did the trip in the second half of January in 2018.
This is my second time using the service. It was good last time, so I decided to use it again. They usually arrive on time, which is reassuring. The drivers are always friendly as well.
今回二回目です。前回よかったので今回も利用しました。ほぼ時間通り来てもらえるので安心です。
運転手さんもいつも感じのいい人ばかりです。
