I enjoyed it as a cruise. クルーズとして楽しめました

Reviewed by: たあ

The tour on the Star of Honolulu was great. They served snacks, and the atmosphere was nice. As for the whales, I think I saw them in the distance, and I might have caught a glimpse of a tail, but I’m not sure if I actually saw them. However, the cruise in the beautiful ocean was wonderful, and the weather was perfect, so I really enjoyed it. It might be best to think of it as a lucky bonus if you get to see whales while participating in the cruise.

スターオブホノルルでのツアー。お菓子もでてきて、雰囲気はよかったです。クジラに関しては、遠くにみえて、しっぽが少し見えた気がしたりなど、見えていないのかもしれません。ただ、美しい海でのクルーズ、気候も良くて本当に楽しむことができました、クルーズとして参加しくじらは見れればラッキーくらいで考えるのがいいかもしれません。

The best cruising 最高のクルージング

Reviewed by: きなこ

To conclude, I am extremely satisfied! I was thrilled to see whales swimming in the distance several times, catching glimpses of their tails and spouts! Although I couldn't see them up close, it was a wonderful memory of whale watching!

I had always wanted to see whales, and when I decided to go to Hawaii, I came across this tour and knew I had to participate. I was worried about seasickness on a small boat, so I made a reservation on the largest one I found, the Star of Honolulu. When I first boarded the boat, I was a bit anxious thinking it might sway more than expected, but once I went up to the upper deck, I found it wasn't a problem, possibly because I was standing! I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're feeling uneasy.

The boat has four levels, and at first, we enjoyed pineapple banana bread and drinks on the first floor, which had chairs and tables. It was delicious! Once the boat started moving, there was a segment where they explained the size of the whales using ropes, and although I didn't understand much of the English, it was an interesting experience unique to a larger boat. The first floor was quite cold due to the air conditioning, so I recommend bringing a jacket. After the explanation, we were free to move around the boat, but the cold was only on the first floor. The view from the fourth deck was beautiful, with a clear sight of Diamond Head and more. When whales were spotted, an English announcement would indicate the direction, and even if you don't understand English well, the simple language and the fact that everyone moved at once made it clear. Although the whales were far away, I was glad to see them, even if I couldn't see the large ones up close. Whether you see whales or not depends on luck, but I think you can still enjoy cruising on a big boat even if you don't see them. I also think it's a great point of this tour that if you don't see any whales, they provide tickets to try again.

I had actually made a reservation for a certain day, but when I was waiting for the shuttle bus at the bus stop, the bus didn't come. After checking with the hotel staff, I was informed that the tour was canceled that day. Cancellations can happen suddenly due to bad weather, but I felt reassured that I received a full refund.

結論から言うと大満足です！クジラが何回か遠くの方で泳いでいるのが見えて尻尾や潮吹きも見れてすごい！と興奮しました。近くでは見ることが出来ませんでしたがとっても良い思い出になったホエールウォッチングでした！
ずっとクジラを見てみたくてハワイに行くと決まりこのツアーを見かけた時に絶対に参加したいと思い参加しました。小さい船だと船酔いが心配だったので見つけた中で一番大きかったスターオブホノルル号で予約しました。最初船に乗り込んだ時は意外と揺れるかも？と少し不安になりましたが上のデッキに出てからは立ってることもあったからなのか気にならなかったです！不安な方は酔い止めを飲むことを推奨します。
船は4階建てで始めは1階の椅子やテーブルがあるフロアでパイナップルバナナブレッドと飲み物をいただきました。美味しかったです！船が動き出すとクジラの大きさの説明などを実際にロープを使って説明するコーナーがあり、英語であまり内容はよくわからなかったですが大きい船ならではの体験で面白かったです。1階はクーラーが結構効いていて寒かったので上着を持っていくことをおすすめします。説明が終わると船内を自由に移動することができるのですが、寒かったのは1階のみでした。4階のデッキは眺めがよくダイヤモンドヘッドなども見えて綺麗でした。クジラが見えると時計の方向で英語のアナウンスが流れます。英語がわからなくても簡単な英語だったのと皆が一斉に動き出すのでわかります。遠くの方だったので実際に近くで大きいクジラを見ることは出来ませんでしたが遠くても見ることが出来て良かったです。クジラが見れるかどうかは運に左右されますが、見れなくても大きい船なのでクルージングするだけでも楽しめると思います。見れなかった場合もう一度見れるチケット？が配られるというのもこのツアーの良い点だと思います。
実際に一度予約していた日があったのですが当日バス乗り場でシャトルバスを待っていたらバスが来ず、ホテルのスタッフに確認してもらったところ今日はキャンセルということを伝えられました。天候が悪いと急に当日キャンセルされてしまう事もありますが、しっかりと返金されていたのでそこも安心だと思います。

I couldn't see any whales... クジラを見ることが出来ませんでした・・・

Reviewed by: Shiba Inu

I've been living in Hawaii for six years now, and I finally participated in a whale watching tour that I've always wanted to do.

Although it was a cloudy day, the weather was just right—not too hot and not too cold. After checking in a bit early, I wandered around the Aloha Tower. When it was time to board, we first had the familiar souvenir photo opportunity that you often find in the U.S. (The staff will come around during the cruise to sell these photos.)

While enjoying coffee and muffins on the first floor, we received explanations (in English, of course), and after departing, we could watch from anywhere on the four-story cruise ship. The crew members were also diligently searching for whales, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any that day... I definitely want to try again next year.

ハワイに住んで6年目。念願のホエールウォッチングツアーに参加しました。
当日は曇り空ではあったものの、暑くもなく寒くもなくちょうどよい天気でした。
ちょっと早めにチェックイン後、アロハタワーの周りをウロウロ。乗船の合図があったので乗り込むと、まずはアメリカでお馴染みのお土産用写真撮影がありました。
（この写真は、クルーズ中にスタッフが販売しにきます）
1階でコーヒーとマフィンを食べながら説明（もちろん英語）を受け、出港後は4階建てクルーズ船のどこでも好きな場所で見ることができます。
船員さんも一生懸命探してくれたのですが、あいにくこの日はクジラに遭遇することができず・・・。
来年またリベンジしたいと思いました。

The tour operation is a miracle! ツアー催行はミラクル！

Reviewed by: minikin

The week I visited, there were storm and heavy rain warnings in Hawaii. I was really worried leading up to the day, but miraculously, the tour went ahead. And right away, whales appeared, jumping one after another. It was truly moving. I couldn't capture their magnificent jumps on camera in time, but I have firmly etched it in my memory. It was the day my dream of seeing humpback whales came true. Despite the unfortunate weather, I was really glad to see so many whales. I'm still excited and moved as I watch the videos. I absolutely recommend this. While there's no guarantee you'll see them, it's definitely worth the challenge!

私が訪れた期間はハワイ州に暴風、豪雨警報が出ている週でした。すごく心配して当日を迎えてましたが奇跡的にツアー催行されました。そしてすぐにクジラが現れて、次から次へとジャンプ。もう感動です。カメラが間に合わず華麗なジャンプを納めることは叶いませんでしたが、この胸にしっかり焼き付けました。いつか必ずザトウクジラを見るんだという夢が叶った日です。あいにくの天候でしたがたくさんのクジラを見ることができて本当によかった。今なお興奮冷めやらず動画を見て感動しています。絶対にオススメです。必ず見られる保証はありませんが、挑戦する価値は充分にあります！

Ko Olina Sunset Sail & Kaula Luau Experience on Oahu with Catamaran Cruise & Polynesian Dinner Show

An unforgettable evening of ocean adventure, great food, and lively entertainment

Reviewed by: Ms.Ems

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

​The evening began with a warm welcome as guests boarded the catamaran around 5:00–5:15pm, accompanied by live music at the dock. Light snacks were available and an open bar offered a variety of tropical cocktails and local beers, creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The boat was quite full, which led to long lines at the bar and limited snacks at times. The sail departed around 5:30pm and lasted about an hour. Ocean conditions were still a bit rough following recent storms, but we were still able to spot a few whales, which added a special touch to the experience.

​After returning to shore, we headed straight to the luau and arrived while dinner and entertainment were already in progress, so we likely missed some of the pre-show activities such as hula lessons and cultural demonstrations. Dinner was described as a buffet, but it was actually set up more like a series of food trucks, kiosks, or booths, where guests visited different stations to receive plated items. While this setup provides a wide variety of options, it can also lead to using multiple plates per person.

​The food​ was catered by Moani Island Bistro, which was flavorful and well-prepared. Seating was first-come, first-served for this event, ​but even though​ we were seated in the back, we still had a good view of the stage. The show itself featured engaging storytelling, Polynesian dances, and impressive production elements like lighting and visuals, giving it a polished, theatrical feel.​

Overall, the combo offers a unique way to experience both a sunset sail and luau in one evening. However, timing overlaps may cause guests to miss some activities, and those sensitive to motion may find the boat portion challenging.

Reviewed by: もふまる

I was worried about the weather because it had been rainy, but I was relieved when it was sunny on the day of the trip. The boat was more impressive than I had imagined, and I didn't feel much rocking. While we were leaving the shore, I enjoyed some banana cake and Kona coffee. It was so delicious that I wanted to have seconds!

As we approached the spots, I went up on the deck to enjoy the view. The scenery of Hawaii, the music, and the breeze were all so pleasant and calming. The announcements were in English, but I could somewhat figure out the direction by looking at the clock positions.

I had several chances to see whales, and I was thrilled to see a mother and her calf. The staff were all cheerful, and their smiles were very comforting.

雨続きだったので天候が心配でしたが、当日晴れて安心しました。想像していたより立派な船で、あまり揺れを感じませんでした。陸から離れる間、バナナケーキとコナコーヒーをいただきました。おかわりしたいくらいとっても美味しかったです＾＾
スポットに近づくと船の上に行き、景色を一望して楽しみました。ハワイの景色、音楽、風が心地よく、落ち着きました。
アナウンスなどは英語でしたが、時計の方向などでなんとなくで見える方向がわかりました。
クジラを見るチャンスは何度かあり、親子を見ることもできて嬉しかったです。

I couldn't see it, but it's a good memory. 見れなかったけどいい思い出

Reviewed by: いおぴん

We were picked up on time and checked in by a brother with an afro, then we departed for the port on a large bus! This time, we participated with two adults and a one-year-old. The banana and pineapple bread served on the ship was incredibly moist and delicious—I wish I could learn how to make it! Unfortunately, there were no whales that day, but perhaps because we woke up early and were swaying on the boat, I was able to take the most wonderful nap in the rooftop chairs (laughs). Since it was our last day of the stay, we couldn't have a second chance, but I would love to try again the next time I visit Hawaii!

時間通りにお迎えに来ていただき、アフロのお兄さんに受付してもらい大型バスで港へ出発！今回は大人2人と1歳児で参加させていただきました。船内でいただけるバナナとパイナップルのブレッドがすっごくしっとりで作り方を教えて欲しいくらい美味しかったです。残念ながらこの日はクジラが現れなかったのですが、早起きして船に揺られていたからか屋上のチェアで最高に気持ちいいお昼寝が出来ました（笑）滞在の最終日での参加だったためリベンジが出来なかったのですが、またハワイに訪れた際は再チャレンジしたいと思います！

The size of a whale the size of a fingernail. 爪の先ほどのクジラサイズ

Reviewed by: きょん

I felt quite restricted due to my lack of English skills. There were no Japanese participants. As for the whales, I was able to spot them surfacing about three times, but they were only the size of my fingernail for a brief moment, and they were too far away to take any pictures, which was disappointing. I suppose it's just luck, so there's nothing to be done about it.

As everyone mentioned in their reviews, the sea breeze was cold, and during the sunset tour in March, wearing an ultra-light down jacket was just right. There was no place inside the boat to shield from the wind. The strong swaying and cold, along with the surprisingly long duration of the trip, caused my mother, who is in her 70s, to feel unwell.

I would recommend this for those who want to "enjoy a leisurely cruise while feeling the sea breeze" rather than for whale watching! There were small children moving around the boat, but I was quite worried they might fall through the gaps in the handrails due to the significant rocking.

英語力が皆無なので、結構不自由を感じました。
日本人の参加者はいませんでした。
肝心の鯨は３回ほど息継ぎを遠くに見つけられましたが、爪の先ほどのサイズが一瞬で、写真を撮れるほどの距離でも無く残念でした。これは運なので仕方ないです。
皆さまのレビューどおり、海風が寒く、3月晴れのサンセットツアーではウルトラライトダウンを着てちょうど良かった程です。船内は風を防げる場所もありません。
強い揺れと寒さと、航行が意外と長くて、70代の母は体調を崩してしまいました。
鯨目的より、「のんびり海の風を感じながらクルーズしたい」という方にはオススメです！小さなお子さんが船上を行き来していましたが、かなり上下左右に揺れるので手すりの隙間から落ちてしまわないか心配でした。

Reviewed by: みー

It was a wonderful experience to see mother and baby whales multiple times! My 3-year-old child enjoyed it very much. The crew only speaks English, but they use pictures for explanations and simplify their language (like using words such as "baby") when talking to us, so we could understand somewhat. Additionally, the menu and explanation sheet on the table, as well as the announcements and explanations, are available in Japanese. When there was an announcement about the whales appearing, everyone moved quickly, so even if I couldn't catch everything, I understood what was happening, haha.

The banana bread was very delicious! Tea, coffee, and water are free, while alcohol and juice are available for a fee. They also provide coloring books and workbooks for toddlers.

The restroom on the boat is spacious enough for wheelchair access, so it was no problem for parents to assist their toddlers inside. I had a preconceived notion that a boat restroom might be dirty like a public restroom, but it turned out to be a stylish and clean restroom with nice tile walls.

親子の鯨を何度も見ることができて、とてもいい体験でした！3歳の子供もとても楽しんでいました。
クルーは英語しか話しませんが、写真を使った解説や、こちらに向けて話す時は簡単な英語（babyなど）にしてくれるのでなんとなくわかります。また、テーブルに置いてあるメニュー表兼説明書と、放送での注意説明や解説は日本語もあります。あと鯨が現れたアナウンスがあった時はみんながワッと移動するので聞き取れなくてもわかります笑
バナナブレッドがとても美味しかったです！紅茶、コーヒー、水はフリーで、アルコール・ジュースは有料です。
幼児向けに塗り絵やワークブックを渡してくれます。
船内にあるトイレは車椅子でも入れるように広いので、親が入って幼児の介助をするのも問題ありませんでした。船のトイレというと公衆トイレみたいに汚いかなとなんとなく思っていましたが、壁のタイルがおしゃれな綺麗なトイレでした。

Kaula Luau in Ko Olina - An Authentic Ocean Front Hawaiian Dinner Experience & Polynesian Show

Great food and performance

Reviewed by: Kamaaina

We enjoyed the performance combining traditional hula, music and dance with contemporary lighting and video. The food is great. Staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. Beautiful setting. A few tweaks to the overall experience will likely be coming as they work through these opening weeks. Waiting in lines at the "food trucks" takes some time, and the hot food was getting cold by the time we got to our tables. Perhaps the sweet bread and cold food could be plated ahead of time and more personnel added to the hot food stations. The "welcome drinks" could also be poured as guests were arriving and served on trays to speed up entry. Perhaps different colored wristbands (or stickers) on arrival could designate drink eligibility rather than adding another wristband. We got there early, but did not have time to visit any of the activities--would have liked to visit the drumming, etc.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Friday Night Sailing

Reviewed by: T-Man

Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.

Additionally, we could see the blue ocean of Hawaii and Diamond Head from the boat, and it felt great to be swayed by the boat while listening to Hawaiian music. This time, we were able to see a mother and her calf whale.

After having our snacks, we went out on the deck and enjoyed cruising while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales that day.

The wind wasn't too strong, so cruising in the warm sunshine felt really nice. It would have been amazing to see whales, but I think that's just a matter of luck.

They asked if I would like to board again, so I provided my contact information before disembarking, but in the end, I didn't go for a second ride. If I had more time in my schedule, I would have liked to try again.

I was able to see a lot. 沢山見れました。

Reviewed by: pekopoko

There is a certain degree of unpredictability. It's entirely possible that you might not see anything, but in that case, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while cruising. I participated with that mindset.

I wasn't particularly interested since I could only see parts of the body from a distance, but I thought it would be a rare experience for my child to say, "I saw a whale!" So, I decided to join. As a result, we were able to see a lot, and our whole family was very satisfied.

When I glanced ahead, I noticed many protrusions. It was a pod of dolphins. There was no announcement, so I informed the people around me. If you don't rely solely on announcements and actively look out at the sea, you might get lucky.

I took a taxi to the location. It seemed that many people gathered there. It cost about $25 one way, including tips, from around Halekulani. On the way there, I was dropped off quite far away and had to walk for about 15 minutes. Be sure to tell the driver "Pier 8." For the return trip, I called the taxi company after arriving at the port, and they came in about 20 minutes. There was a souvenir shop, so it was a good way to pass the time. When I told them "Pier 8 near Aloha Tower," they came right to the front.

In the past, my family had a terrible experience on a smaller boat during dolphin watching, but this time, we all enjoyed it without any seasickness. Choosing this boat was the right decision. The pineapple cake we had on board was delicious. There were cold water, coffee, and tea available as drinks. There were also paid drinks, but the complimentary drinks were sufficient. There were 2 or 3 people who got seasick, but most of the guests were happily enjoying whale watching.

運次第なところはあります。
見れない場合も十分にあり得る事、その場合は美しい景色のクルージングを楽しむ。そういう心持ちで参加しました。

身体の一部を遠くで見る事ができる程度のため自分自身はさほど興味はありませんでしたが、子供にとっては「くじらを見た！」という得難い経験になると思い参加しました。
結果として沢山見ることができ、家族一同大満足でした。

ふと目をやった先に突起物がたくさん見えました。イルカの群れでした。
アナウンスは特に無かったので周囲の方々に教えて差し上げました。
アナウンス任せにせず自分でも海を探していたらラッキーなことがあるかもしれません。

現地へはタクシーで行きました。現地集合の方が多かったように思います。
ハレクラニあたりから片道チップ込みで25ドルほどでした。
行きはかなり遠くに降ろされてしまい15分も歩きました。必ず「ピア8」とお伝えしてください。
帰りは港へ到着してからタクシー会社へ電話して20分ほどで来てくれました。
お土産屋さんがありましたのでいい時間つぶしになりました。
配車の際「アロハタワーの近くのピア8」とお伝えしたらきちんと目の前まで来てくれました。
過去、もっと小さな船でドルフィンウォッチングに参加した際全滅した我が家でも酔い止めなしで全員楽しめました。こちらの船を選んで正解でした。
船内でいただいたパイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。
ドリンクは冷たいお水やコーヒー、紅茶もありました。
有料ドリンクもありましたが無料サービスのドリンクで十分でした。
船酔いされた方は2～3名いましたがほとんどの方が元気にホエールウォッチングを楽しんでおられました。

4-Hour Ohana Deluxe Waikiki Private Yacht Charter Experience with Hot Tub

Avoid this business: Prioritizes profit over customer safety and experience

Reviewed by: HHC

We booked this charter primarily for snorkeling, with sightseeing and fishing as secondary goals. Despite calling twice before the trip to express concerns about a 30 mph wind forecast, we were repeatedly told it was fine to proceed.

On the day of the trip, the conditions were so poor that other local companies canceled their snorkeling tours. Our captain even explicitly stated that snorkeling was unsafe. We pivoted to whale watching, but saw nothing due to the weather; the conditions were so miserable we had to cut the trip short.

Most disappointing was the company’s response. When I reached out, they claimed snorkeling was still possible "for strong swimmers"—a reckless statement considering we had children with us and the waves were objectively dangerous. It’s clear this business prioritizes keeping your money over customer safety and satisfaction. Avoid this company; they do not have their customers' best interests in mind.

Last time I participated in a whale watch was in March 2018, but I didn't see any whales then. This time, I was able to see them several times, and I was moved to see whales for the first time. Although I didn't get to see them jump high, I did see them surface and blow water.

The waves were calm, so I was able to participate without getting seasick. As sunset approached, we enjoyed a cruise up to Diamond Head and were able to see a beautiful sunset.

前回2018年3月に来た際にもホエールウォッチに参加しましたが、その時は見れずでした。
今回は数回に渡り見る事ができ、初めて見るクジラに感動です。
大きくジャンプする姿は見れませんでしたが、背中を出して潮を吹く姿は見れました。

波も穏やかで船酔いもせずに参加できました。
日没が近づくとダイヤモンドヘッド手前まで遊覧も楽しめて綺麗な夕日を見る事もできました。

Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet any whales this time, but the splendid sightseeing boat didn't sway much, so I was able to enjoy the trip without worrying about seasickness. My 2-year-old was super excited about being on such a big boat for the first time, and our whole family had a blissful time admiring the beautiful views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. The staff were warm and attentive, making it truly a perfect description of an elegant holiday. I definitely want to book again for our next trip to Hawaii, aiming for a little revenge on the whale sighting!

残念ながら今回はクジラさんに会うことは叶いませんませんでしたが、大きな揺れを感じない立派な遊覧船だったので、船酔いの心配もなく終始安心して楽しめました。
2歳の子供も初めての大きな船に大興奮で、家族全員でダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの美しい街並みを海から眺めるという、至福のひとときを過ごせました。スタッフの方々の気配りも温かく、まさに優雅な休日という言葉がぴったりです。次回のハワイ旅行でも、リベンジを兼ねてぜひまた予約したいと思います。

My first whale watching experience was fun. 初めてのホエールウォッチング、楽しかったです。

Thousands of humpback whales come to Honolulu in winter! I was so excited and nervous about this first-time experience that I definitely wanted to participate. We set sail on time, and I couldn't contain my excitement at the breathtaking views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Along the way, rain clouds rolled in, and it suddenly turned into a downpour, making it a bit chilly, but it was still fun. I caught a glimpse of the whales for just a moment; I wanted to see more, but I will try again on the next opportunity. If I had to point out one area for improvement, I would have liked the coffee provided to be hotter. The staff were all smiling, which was great.

何千頭のザトウクジラが冬のホノルルにやって来る！これは是非参加したいと初めての体験にドキドキワクワクしました。時間通りに出航し、海の上から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景に興奮が収まりません。途中、雨雲が掛かり突然スコールになり、寒くもなったりしていましたが、楽しかったです。クジラの姿は一瞬見えました、もっと見たかったが次のチャンスでまたチャレンジします。改善点一つ上げるとすれば、提供されていたコーヒーが熱々のものにしてほしかったです。スタッフはみんな笑顔で良かったです。

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: トモミ

We were able to see dolphins shortly after the boat departed. It rained occasionally, and thanks to that, we also saw a rainbow. Miraculously, we were able to see whales about three times. The sea and Diamond Head from the ocean were both very beautiful, and I was extremely satisfied.

船が出発して早々にイルカを見ることが出来ました。
雨が時折降ってきて、そのおかげで虹も見れました。
奇跡的にクジラも3回程見る事が出来ました。
海も海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドもとても綺麗で大満足です。

Unfortunately, I couldn't see it. 残念ながら見えませんでした

Reviewed by: アロハ

I participated in the morning tour. There were a lot of participants, and I think all the seats were full. I was looking forward to seeing whales since February is said to be a good season for it, but unfortunately, I didn't see any. They announced that we can reattempt for free at any time. The boat was larger than I expected, but it swayed a lot. I think having motion sickness medication would help. Also, since the wind was strong, it's better to have a light jacket or something to wear.

朝イチのツアーに参加しました。参加者はとても多く、椅子は満席だったと思います。
２月はクジラが見やすいシーズンとの事で期待してましたが、見れなかったです。
再チャレンジをいつでも無料でできるとアナウンスありました。
船は予測より大きいものでしたが、めちゃくちゃ揺れます。酔い止めあれば大丈夫かと思います。
あと、風が強いので薄手羽織ものある方がいいです

Beautiful Diamond Head 綺麗なダイヤモンドヘッド

Reviewed by: ダイヤモンドフユカイ

I couldn't see any whales, but I was very impressed by Diamond Head from every angle. First of all, even though it was a large ship, it was about four times faster than I imagined. Because of this, when I climbed to the top of the ship, the wind felt really nice, and the weather was good, which made me feel very refreshed. The ship traveled from the departure point all the way to the back of Diamond Head and then returned, allowing us to see Diamond Head from various angles over the sea.

クジラは見ることができませんでしたが，ダイヤモンドヘッドはあらゆる角度から見ることができ，とても感動しました．まず，大きな船であるにも関わらず，その速さは想像の4倍ぐらい速かったです．そのため，船の屋上に登ると風がとても気持ち良く，天気も良かったため，とても爽快な気分になりました．船は出発地点から，ダイヤモンドヘッドの奥まで進み，折り返して帰ってくる航路であったため，海上から様々な角度のダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができました．

As a cruising experience, it's also a way to let go. クルージングとして割り切りも

Reviewed by: るるる

In the end, I did see a spout and a little bit of the tail, but I can't deny that it felt a bit lacking. I had prepared myself for the possibility that it might not be very big based on past posts, so I wasn't too disappointed.

Since it was a large boat, there was no rocking, and I was able to enjoy the cruise with pound cake and drinks. On a smaller boat, you could move around more easily to search for whales, but I think the waves would be quite intense, raising concerns about seasickness. This time, the weather was decent, not too cold, and I was able to spend the time comfortably.

結果的には潮吹きと、少しのしっぽは見えましたが、物足りない感は否めませんでした。過去の投稿からも、大きくは見えないかもしれないと覚悟していたので、そこまで残念とは思いませんでした。
大きな船なので、揺れもなく、パウンドケーキと飲み物付きのクルージングで、それなりに楽しめました。
小さな船だと小回りもきいて鯨を探しに色々動けるでしょうが、波がすごくて、船酔いが心配だと思います。今回は、天気もまずまずで、そこまで寒くなく、快適に過ごせました。
