There were no whales.
I feel like crying.
It just turned into a morning cruise.
The scenery was amazing, though.
On the bus back from the dinner cruise, there was a video playing about a guarantee, but what was that about?

クジラいませんでした。
泣きそうです。
ただの朝クルーズとなってしまいました。
景色は最高でしたが。
ディナークルーズの帰りのバスの中で保証付きってビデオ流れていたけどなんなのか?

I was very relieved to be picked up at the hotel on time, and it became a wonderful memory as we exchanged cameras with the other members of our group and took pictures of each other. The staff were also very enthusiastic! We did the 90m and were completely satisfied! When we arrived at the hotel with the families in our group, everyone smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" as we parted ways, and I felt fortunate to have such a great group. I also think I want to challenge myself to the 150m next time!

時間通りにホテルに迎えに来てもらえとても安心し、同じグループになった方々とカメラを交換しお互い取り合ったり係の方々もとてもテンションが高く最高の思い出になりました！私達は90mでしたが十分満足でした！同じグループになった家族の方々とホテルに着いた時には、お疲れ様でした〜とみんな笑顔で解散してグループにもめぐまれたなと思います！次は150mにも挑戦したいな！とも思います♪

Wew had a great night, staff were great, it was a shame about the wind coming up

They provided free pickup to and from our hotel. The party was appropriate size. The food was surprisingly good. The crews we're all friendly and they made sure everybody was having a good time. The scenery was absolutely amazing and took loads of great photos. We saw some dolphins follow us and it was a pleasant bonus. We will definitely come back for the next trip.
The only minor problem was they picked us up at 4pm, dropped us off at the pier 4:10pm and we had to wait until 5pm to board the boat.

I wasn't confident in my physical strength and felt anxious even after signing up. However, there were no problems at all. The safety measures were excellent. Moreover, for the vertical rope climb, which I was most worried about, I could ask for help and received assistance. The log crossing, which I had previously fallen from in a Japanese athletic course, was also very safe. Even when it swayed, I was able to cross it with enjoyment. Above all, the zip line in the great outdoors was exhilarating! In the end, I even did a reverse hands-free ride, returning to my childhood and having a blast. I returned home fully satisfied, having enjoyed the sea, greenery, and blue sky.

体力に自信がなくて、申し込んだものの不安でした。しかし、全く問題ありませんでした。安全対策ばっちりでした。さらに一番不安だった、垂直のロープのぼり？も手伝いを頼めば、手伝っていただけます。日本のアスレチックで落ちた経験のある丸太渡り？もとっても安全。揺らされても楽しくわたれました。何よりジップラインは大自然の中、気分爽快！最後には、逆さ手放しまでして童心に返り、思う存分楽しむことができました。海・緑・青い空を満喫して帰ってきました。

My husband and I throughly enjoyed the sunset cruise which happened to be on New Year’s Day 2019!
We were impressed by the professionalism and punctuality of the crew from start to finish.
We were picked up by their shuttle who pick up from Waikiki, cost was included. They arranged this at the time of booking.
Our favorite part of the cruise was the intimacy & the fact that we were able to see a whale!
There were 25-30 guests and the catamaran felt spacious and comfortable.
Tips; where something comfortable, long sleeves or sweater is a must. It gets quite windy and chilly. Photo opportunities are endless. Have fun and make sure to purchase the “sippy cup.” It’s a nice keepsake, but most of all it’s essentially more bang for your buck if you’ll be drinking more than the 1 drink ticket that is provided.
Oh and make sure to take Dramamine if you’re worried. about getting seasickz it can be a rocky one. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

It was my first experience at the sandbar. It was somewhat enjoyable. Walking on the sandbar was a bit monotonous. I didn't have any particular complaints. I think those who get seasick definitely need motion sickness medication. I saw some people around me getting sick.

サンドバー初体験でした。
まあまあ楽しかったです。サンドバー歩くのは少し単調でした。
特に不満はありませんでした。
船酔いする人は、酔い止め必須だと思います。
私の回りでも吐いている人がいました。

The counter is easy to find right in the arrival lobby. However, there were some bags that hadn't arrived, and it took a while for everyone to gather, so the bus we were supposed to take left without us.

After that, the staff at the counter gave us various instructions, and since we could speak English, it wasn't a problem for us, but those who don't understand English might feel anxious.

The HIS bus is the same, but the waiting time is quite long, so if you want to make effective use of your time, I recommend taking a taxi even if it's a bit more expensive.

到着ロビーすぐにカウンターがあるのでわかりやすいです。ただ、届いていない荷物があり、全員が揃うまでに時間がかかったため、私たちが乗るバスは行ってしまいました。

そのあと、カウンターの方が色々と指示をくれましたが、私たちは英語ができるので問題なかったですが、英語がわからない方は不安かもしれません。

HISのバスも同じですが、待ち時間がかなり長いため、時間を有効に使いたい方は、少し高くてもタクシーをオススメします。

It was my first experience, and it felt absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to those who are not sick. The view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean made me feel like a bird—it's an exaggeration, but it felt like flying in the sky.

初めての試みでしたが、最高に気持ちよかったです。病気がない方には是非オススメです。ワイキキビーチが海から眺められて鳥になった気分とは大げさですが空を飛ぶ感じです。

The weather was not favorable, as it was cloudy and there was a bit of wind, so the scenery was quite different from the photos I had researched beforehand. The sea was cold, and I managed to endure the chill by wearing a wetsuit.

The sea itself was very beautiful because there were sea turtles and fish nearby. The late lunch was also plentiful and delicious, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I felt it was worth participating, especially since the guides entertained us.

I believe the view would be even more beautiful if the weather is nice and if you go on a morning tour!

天候に恵まれず、曇っていて風も少しあったため、事前調べの写真とはだいぶ異なる景色でした。海は冷たく、ウエットスーツを着てなんとか寒さを凌いだ感じでした。

海自体はとても綺麗でした。なぜなら、すぐ近くにウミガメや魚がいたからです。遅めの昼食も文句なしの量や味で、美味しくいただきました。
ガイドの方々が楽しませてくれたこともあり、参加してよかったと思いました。

天気に恵まれると、そして午前中のツアーだとより綺麗に見えると思います！！

The tour itself was great. Getting to stop at some sightseeing areas and enjoy the PCC was definitely a highlight. Could have spent more time at the Dole Plantation and the PCC. The driver Rob was obnoxious however. He talked non stop very loudly and it was difficult to decifer what was fact and what was BS. He talked non stop about himself and we got to the PCC later than anticipated so had less time there.

It was good my friends and I really enjoyed it. The view was breathtaking & the crew on board were so friendly and helpful. I am a picky eater so the food was alright to me however my friends really enjoyed it. If prone to seasickness, I recommend you take medication before getting onto the boat.

I went on this cruise with my friends as we all met in Hawaii for a little vacation. This dinner cruise was wonderful. We got to see the sunset and the food was delicious however we were just happy to be surrounded by great company and the view. If driving out keep in mind the traffic as it will get busy.

I played with my son and brother-in-law.
Perhaps because of the afternoon schedule, I didn't meet any Japanese players.
However, the staff were very kind, and I had a great time playing.
The rental clubs were new and clean. The course was spacious and felt great!

息子と義弟の３人でプレイ。
午後のプランのためなのか、日本のプレイヤーに会うことがありませんでした。
でも、スタッフの皆さんはとても親切で楽しくプレイ出来ました。
貸しクラブも新しくて綺麗だった。コースも広くて気持ちよかったです！

The tour was okay. To begin with the driver did not wait or call us when we were at the hotel. We called the company so many times and they gave us info that the bus is late and then again in 10 minutes one says the bus left us! It was a horrible experience. I would believe they would atleast call us. But even then we tried to ask to meet the driver elsewhere to catch up on the tour and there was a long wait before they could say yes! The dispatcher lady was helpful but then the driver not so much. I didn't like how the driver kept on talking even though the crowd was asleep. Most tours I have been has a guide talking and interacting with you while the driver drives so its more fun but these have the driver drive and speak on microphone which was disappointing! The tour itself was okay because with the better tour guide it could have been much better. Do not miss the Polynesian Cultural Center. Could spend a good half a day there.

The sandbar had a beautiful view that I had never seen before. I was able to see sea turtles, and the drink service on the boat was great.

サンドバーは今まで見たことのない景色でとてもキレイでした。
ウミガメも見ることができ、船内のドリンクサービスも良かったです。

I think the backstage tour before the show was a very valuable experience. We were able to wear the dancers' costumes and take photos, and they shared behind-the-scenes stories mixed with jokes, which made the show ten times more enjoyable. The green room was also a lovely space where you can definitely feel a "special hospitality." Additionally, since our seats were in the front row, we got to shake hands and hug the dancers, Michael, and Elvis, making it an incredibly rewarding show!

ショーが始まる前のバックステージツアーはとても貴重な体験だったと思います。ダンサーの衣装を実際に身につけて写真撮影ができたり、ショーの裏話をジョークを混じえて紹介してくれたりして、おかげでショーが１０倍楽しめました。グリーンルームも素敵な空間で「特別なおもてなし感」を味わえること請け合いです！　また、席が最前列だったのでダンサー、マイケル、エルヴィスと実際に握手したりハグしてもらったりと、それはそれはお得感満載なショーでした！

For dinner, we opted for the buffet since it was around the time we would be eating anyway, and it was pretty much what I expected. In hindsight, I think it might have been nice to join after having something at a restaurant during happy hour. The tables were cramped, there were a lot of people, and waiting in line for the buffet was tiring. The variety of dishes was decent. I tried some things I don't usually eat, like Ahi Poke and Lomilomi Salmon, and they were delicious.

The show started with a Polynesian theme, set around Elvis landing in Hawaii. MJ also made an appearance. Since both of them have passed away, we can't see the real ones, but I enjoyed the American entertainment; the singing and dancing were great. I was satisfied.

I wonder if it was just Elvis and MJ? It would have been nice to see GAGA or Taylor Swift as well. I wish I knew who would be performing and when.

夕食は始まる時間、どっちにしろ食べる時間だろうからということでビュッフェ付きのものにしましたが　まあまあ思っていた通りでした。
どこか レストランのHAPPY HOURで頂いてからの参加でもよかったかな～と今となっては思います。
テーブルも狭いし、人が多いし　ビュッフェなので順番待ちで疲れたな～という感じでした。品数はまあまあでした。Ahi Poke や　Lomilomi Salmon など　普段食べないものがあったので挑戦してみましたが　美味しかったです。

ポリネシアの要素を取り入れ内容で　エルビスがハワイに上陸したという設定でショーが始まります。MJも登場します。
本物は二人とも亡くなっているので見ることはもできませんけど、アメリカのエンターテイメンをたのしめました歌も踊りもよかったです。満足です。

エルビスとMJだけなのでしょうか？GAGAやテイラースイフトなどみれたらよかったのにな～。だれがいつ出るかが分ればいいな～と思います。

I thought the water would be clearer, but the submarine's windows were dirty, making it hard to see clearly. I also didn't see as many fish as I expected. Even though we counted the number of people boarding, there weren't enough seats, so we had to squeeze in with the kids on our laps. The air conditioning coming from under our feet was cold. Overall, I felt that the experience was underwhelming for the price. It was disappointing that we could only see the turtles from a distance. There were few fish and not many varieties, so the kids got bored and looked sleepy halfway through.

もっと水が澄んでると思ってたし、潜水艦の窓が汚いのか綺麗に見えなかったし、思ってたよりも魚が見えなかった。定員数を数えて乗ってるはずなのに、席が足りないとかで子供を膝の上に乗せて詰めました。
足の下から出てくるエアコンが寒かった。
値段の割に感動が薄かったです。
亀も遠くにしか見えなくて残念でした。
魚が少ないし、種類も少なくて子供たちも途中で飽きてしまって眠そうにしてました。

The weather worsened, so it was canceled once and then rescheduled for the next day. The staff's response was smooth, which was great.

In reality, there were waves, and the sea was cold, making it tough for families with young children, as the kids seemed scared and cold. It would be better to have an age limit of 10 years and older. Many adults also experienced seasickness.

On my third attempt, I was able to see three groups of mother and baby dolphins. I was really glad to see them.

天候悪化で、一度中止で、翌日に変更してもらいました。スタッフの対応もスムーズで、よかったです。

実際、波があり、海が冷たく、小学生低学年の親子連れは、子供達が怖がったり、寒がったりして、大変そうでした。年齢制限を10歳以上の方がよいですね。船酔いの大人も多かったです。
3度目のチャレンジで、イルカの親子連れに3組見れました。見られて本当によかったです。

I booked a boat ride through this company, and I had to reschedule twice due to flight delays. They were so helpful and accommodating with these changes. Happy I booked through them!

I participated in the four-wheeler buggy and zip line experience. Before the zip line, I had a very scary impression and was worried about whether I could do it, but the staff were very kind in helping me put on the harness and provided great support, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy it! My husband really enjoyed the buggy ride, but there was more sand dust than I expected, so I think it would be better for women to have something to cover their hair. Also, I would have liked a Japanese guide just for the important things to pay attention to. Above all, the most thrilling part was the transportation driving.

四輪バギー&ジップラインに参加しました。
ジップラインは体験前とても怖い印象で、やれるか不安でしたが、スタッフがとても丁寧に危惧を装着してくれてり、やりやすくフォローしてくれたりととても安心して楽しめました！
バギーは主人がとても楽しんでいましたが、思ったより砂ホコリが凄く、女性は髪の毛を覆えるものがあった方が良いかと思います。また、特に注意すべき事だけでも日本語ガイドがほしかったです。
何よりスリリングだったのは、送迎の運転でした。

Not a wildlife outing as advertised. Mostly just a cruise out and back. Some nice views of diamond head but not what I had thought by the ad.

Our family enjoyed the sunset dinner cruise. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t have much of a sunset, but like others mentioned you just had to get up and go out on the deck as they don’t make any announcement. The food was okay. Service was great. The entertainment was good as well. But i’m not sure It was worth the money so I probably wouldn’t do it again.

I participated with my two children at the end of December. Since they do not provide transportation to hotels in Waikiki, we rented a car to get there. We drove from the highway towards Waianae and headed north along the coast. I thought it would have been better to eat at one of the fast food places before the harbor. The meeting place was hard to find, and we finally located it after searching with another group of Japanese tourists who had signed up for the same tour. It would be helpful to use the car with the tour company name as a landmark. There were only portable toilets at the harbor. Before boarding the boat, we had to take off our shoes and go barefoot. Drinks and snacks were available for us to enjoy. Everyone in my family took motion sickness medication, but everyone except me got seasick; my 6-year-old got sick and threw up within 30 minutes, and my 9-year-old was knocked out, both of them sleeping for most of the two-hour cruise. While overcoming the rough waves, I felt like I was in the movie Moana... We encountered a pod of dolphins, and the kids perked up at that moment. Two staff members were searching for whales with binoculars, but we ultimately didn’t see any. The view of Waianae from the boat was wonderful, and I felt rejuvenated by Hawaii's nature, but the kids were exhausted, and not seeing any whales made me feel like we didn’t get our money's worth, so I give it two stars. The staff took care of various things, but they had no Japanese language support at all. Since most participants were Japanese, the fast-paced English could be a bit tough for those who are not good at English. We were not given life jackets, and when I requested one for the kids, they were surprised and handed over a type that looked like a guillotine, which was uncomfortable for my child who was already feeling unwell, and in the end, they couldn’t wear it. I had lingering concerns about safety. Plus, the rough waves... that would be unthinkable in Japan. We received a re-try voucher, but it’s quite difficult to re-try this season, and I wish the expiration could be extended to 1-2 years.

12月末に子供2人と参加しました。送迎はワイキキのホテルまではしてくれないとのことでレンタカーして向かいました。ハイウェイからワイアナエ方向に進み海岸沿い北上しました。ハーバー手前に数件ファストフード店ありそこで食べればよかったと思いました。集合場所は分かりにくく同じツアー申し込んだ他の日本人グループと一緒に探してやっと見つけました。ツアー会社名の書いた車目印にするといいです。ハーバーには簡易トイレしかありません。船に乗り込む前に靴を脱ぎ裸足で乗船。飲み物とお菓子はご自由にと置いてありました。家族全員酔い止め飲んでましたが、わたし以外はみんな船酔い、6歳の下の子は30分も経たないうちに酔って吐き、9歳の上の子もノックアウトで二人とも二時間のクルーズ中ほぼ寝てました。荒波乗り越えながら映画のモアナの気分になりました…途中イルカの群れに会い子供もその時だけは起き上がり元気に。スタッフ二人が双眼鏡でクジラ捜索してましたが結局会えずでした。船からのワイアナエの景色は素晴らしく、ハワイの自然に癒されましたが、子供はぐったりでクジラにも会えず、自然のもので仕方ないとはいえ高い費用の元が取れた気がせず星二つ。スタッフは色々ケアしてくれましたが、日本語は全くNGでした。ツアー参加の大半が日本人の中早口の英語で、英語が得意でない場合はちょっと辛いかもです。ライフジャケット渡されず、子供の分を要求したら驚かれ、ギロチンみたいなタイプのを渡されて子供は体調悪い中首締まり苦しく、結局つけれずでした。安全面で不安が残りました。しかも荒波…日本ではあり得ないです。再トライ券もらいましたが、今シーズン再トライはなかなか難しいしせめて期限が１〜２年あればと思いました。

I was told that the pickup would be timed with the arrival of the flight, but I ended up waiting about 20 minutes at the airport. It seemed that no one else from the same flight was left, and others headed to their destination by means other than the shuttle service. I guess there's nothing that can be done about it.

飛行機到着の時間に合わせてピックアップということでしたが空港で20分くらい待たされました。同じ飛行機で来た方々は他に残ってなく、シャトルサービス以外の方法で目的地に向かわれたようです。しょうがないのかな。

I participated with a friend. We were picked up by car from the hotel and gathered at the office near the beach for a short lecture while watching a video, then headed to the beach for a surfing experience. There are lockers available for personal belongings. When I asked the staff if there was a security box, they lent me a key that could be attached to the locker. I put my passport and wallet there without any issues.

I brought a rash guard just in case, but there were plenty available for rent, and my friend borrowed one without any problems. I was worried about not understanding English, but they provided an instructor who spoke Japanese, so there were no language issues.

There were five people in the group, and some participants were there alone. Once we got into the water to start surfing, it was a cycle of getting on the surfboard, being swept close to the shore, paddling out, and getting back on the board, so I think being alone wouldn’t be a problem.

As others have mentioned, you can generally ride the waves. Let's try to enjoy as much as we can within the time! One thing to be cautious about is the rocks and coral under the water. I injured my foot relatively early on, but I continued without worrying too much.

Even if you get hurt, there are first aid supplies at the office, and I used them as well. This became my best memory of my stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much!

友達と2人で参加しました。
ホテルに車で迎えに来てもらい、ビーチ近くの事務所に集まり、動画を見ながら短時間の講習、ビーチに行ってサーフィン体験という流れです。
私物はロッカーがあり、入れられます。
事務所の方に、セキュリティボックスはあるか聞くと、鍵を貸してもらえ、ロッカーに取り付けられます。パスポートや財布はそこに入れ、問題ありませんでした。
ラッシュガードは念のため買って行きましたが、貸し出し用のものがたくさんあり、友達はふつうに借りていました。
英語がわからず不安でしたが、日本語が話せるインストラクターの方をわざわざつけていただき、言葉の問題はありませんでした。
グループは5人で、1人で参加している方もいました。実際、海に出てサーフィンに乗り出すと、サーフィン乗る→岸付近に流される→沖までパドリング→サーフィン乗るの繰り返しなので、1人でも気にならないと思います。
あとは他の方の体験にあるように、基本的に乗れます。時間内で出来るだけトライして楽しみましょう^_^
一点だけ、海面下にある、岩やサンゴには気をつけましょう。私も足を割と序盤に怪我しました。気にせず続けましたが。
怪我しても応急処置用品は事務所にあり、私も使わせてもらいました。
ハワイ滞在で一番の思い出になりました^_^
ありがとうございました！

The day before, it was pouring rain, so I was worried about the weather, but it cleared up completely, which was great.
The boat was quite rocky, and I felt a bit nauseous, but I recovered by looking at the scenery and the ocean.
I got to see Diamond Head in all its glory.
From the sea, there were no obstacles, so it was really impressive.
I was able to see some dolphins swimming.
I didn't see any turtles, though.
But it was a valuable experience.
If you get seasick, be careful.

前の日が本気の雨だったんで、天気心配してたんですけど、すっかり晴れて良かったです。
かなり揺れて若干気分が悪くなりましたけど、景色や海を見て治しました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドがどーんと観れました。
海からだと障害物がないから迫力ありました。
イルカ達が泳いでるのを少し観れました。
カメさん達は観れなかった。
でも貴重な経験出来ました。
船酔いする人は気を付けてください。

It was amazing! I found this tour when I was hesitant about the large dinner cruises. It was a small group, and since there were hardly any Japanese people, the atmosphere was lively and very much like a party abroad! Some people got completely soaked from the splashes, but they enjoyed it nonetheless. The Mai Tai, which is also the name of the boat, comes right from the tap (laughs). Don't forget to bring a jacket, wear something that can get wet, and if you're drinking, make sure to bring your ID. I will definitely join again next time.

最高でした！
サンセットクルーズはしたいものの、大型船のディナークルーズばかりで気乗りがしなかった時に見つけたこのツアー。
少人数で、しかも日本人はほとんどいないので盛り上がり方も海外風の大騒ぎ！
波しぶきで思い切り濡れていた方もいましたが、それさえも楽しんでいました。
船の名前でもあるマイタイはなんと蛇口から出てきます(笑)
上着、濡れても良い格好、お酒を飲む方はIDをお忘れなく。
次回もまた参加します。

The flow from village to village with happy and friendly people made us feel happy. We learned so much from the talented performers...The canoe celebration was a treat...so very crowded for viewing, but it was the Christmas holiday break. When I think of the Polynesian Cultural Center, I will smile and remember the villages, the luau and it's good feeling and the fantastic show...Ha. Unforgettable.
