I had a tour scheduled to arrive at Honolulu Airport on February 7th at 7:30. Since I couldn't check into the hotel until after 1 PM, I was wondering what to do because of jet lag, when I found this tour departing at 12:00. I was picked up from the airport around 9:00 and took the Red Line to Aloha Tower, where I boarded the ship without any issues. I'm glad I was able to make good use of my time.
二月7日、7:30にホノルル空港に到着予定のツアーでした。ホテルには午後1時過ぎでないと入れないとの事でしたので、時差ぼけだし、どうしようかと思っていたところ、12:00発のこのツアーを見つけました。空港からホテルに送ってもらったのが、9:00頃で、レッドラインで、アロハタワーに行き無事乗船しました。有効な時間の使い方が出来て良かったです。

I participated with a friend.
We didn't see any whales.
Therefore, they were distributing re-boarding tickets towards the end of the cruise (it's a system where you have to go get it yourself, so be careful not to forget!).
Although we didn't see any whales, I had fun just being on the boat!!
However, since it was just simple scenery unless any creatures appeared, I noticed a few children looking bored.
It might be a bit tricky for those with small children...
After disembarking, there was someone who seemed to be the captain, and I was able to take a photo with him (^V^).
I was grateful that he was friendly and posed for the picture.
友人と参加しました。
クジラは見られませんでした。
そのため、クルーズの終わりごろに再乗車券を配布していました(自分でもらいに行くシステムなので忘れないように注意!)。
クジラは見られませんでしたが、私は船に乗るだけで楽しかったです!!
しかし、生き物が出ない限り単純な風景が続くだけなので、退屈そうにしているお子さんがチラホラいました。
小さいお子さんがいらっしゃる方は微妙かもしれません…
下船後、船長さんらしき方がいらっしゃったので一緒に写真を撮っていただきました(^V^)
気さくに写ってくださってありがたかったです。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are sorry to hear that you didn't see any whales! However, we are very pleased to know that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度は、ご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございました。鯨は見れなかったとの事、申し訳ありません!!でも、楽しんで頂けたご様子で、私ども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、ご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

I was attracted to the point where I could enjoy both drinks and a sunset cruise, so I signed up. While on board, I could enjoy the scenery without getting wet and felt a pleasant breeze. There’s nothing to obstruct the view, so the sunlight is dazzling until the sun sets, making sunglasses a must. This was my fourth time in Hawaii, but seeing the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea offered a different perspective, which was wonderful. The duration was as planned, and I was able to stick to my schedule after the cruise without any issues.
お酒とサンセットクルーズ同時に楽しめるポイントに惹かれて申込みしました。
乗船中は濡れることもなく、気持ちの良い風を浴びながら景色を堪能できます。
遮るものがないので夕日が落ちる前までは日差しが眩しいので、サングラス必須です。
4度目のハワイでしたが海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは一味違う景色で、とても良かったです。
所要時間も予定通りで乗船後の予定も狂うことなく過ごすことが出来ました。

This tour was very enjoyable. Even though we didn't get to see but one whale. The captain and crew made every effort to locate them. And we did encounter a whale but the whale didn't want to entertain us which is no fault of the crew. The boat ride itself was nice and relaxing. I would definitely do it again.

I participated to create a final memory of my trip. I was very satisfied to be able to enjoy a beautiful starry sky and fireworks while drinking a Mai Tai. It's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you will get wet up to your shins when boarding. I participated in January, and the weather was great, with just the right temperature to enjoy. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

マイタイを飲みながらきれいな星空と花火を見ることができとても満足できました。

I read in the reviews that there are few Japanese people and the explanations are in English, but it was a completely problem-free relaxing time. I go to Hawaii about twice a year, so I signed up for various optional tours, but this tour is one I can't miss next time. Since it was late January, it was indeed cold due to the strong winds. A light jacket is necessary.
口コミでは日本人は少ないし説明も英語なので・・とありましたが、全く問題なしのリラックスタイムでした。ハワイは年に2回ほど行きますので色々なオプショナルツアーに申し込みましたがこちらのツアーは次回も外せないです。1月下旬だったので、風が強いこともあり確かに寒かったです。羽織るものは必要ですね。

I was so excited to see whales and I wasn't disappointed! Guaranteed indeed.
We saw a few pod of whales and it was always entertaining to watch them swim by and see their blows. I actually saw one that threw its tail out of the water up close when I was heading to the restroom, but very quickly that no one noticed it I think. I just got lucky, haha!
It was a nice cruise, great customer service from the crew, delicious food, and gorgeous views of the Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head! There were fun activities on board too like lei making, ukulele lessons, and hula lessons. I really enjoyed the trip! I was with a group of friends but as a mom, I would definitely recommend this for families with young children as well, it's a great activity for all ages so anyone are welcome!

I was considering a dinner cruise, but after referring to other people's experiences, I chose the cocktail cruise. I was a bit anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but it turned out to be a great decision. The sunset from the coast is beautiful, but watching the sunset from the cruiser while feeling the thrill of the ride was exceptionally stunning. Thanks to the cheerful and high-energy crew and the other foreign guests, the atmosphere was great, and I had a wonderful time.
ディナークルーズにしようかと思ってましたが、他の方の体験談を参照し、カクテルクルーズを選択しました。
楽しめるか少し不安でしたが、結果は大正解でした。海岸からのサンセットも綺麗ですが、クルーザーの疾走感とともに海の上から観るサンセットはまた格別に綺麗でした。陽気でハイテンションなクルーや他の外国人客のおかげて、雰囲気も良く楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I booked a plan without pick-up. The check-in location listed on the voucher is the Paradise cruise office, but in reality, there is no such office, so you need to check in at the Stat of Honolulu reservation office.
The breakfast isn't particularly delicious, but I was able to enjoy warm dishes and coffee.
About two hours after departure, we spotted a whale just 20 meters from the boat! We were lucky to see it.
Since the boat is quite large, positioning is also important.
送迎無しのプランを予約。バウチャー記載のチェックイン場所はParadise cruise officeとありますが、実際にはそんなオフィスは無く、Stat of Honolulu reservation office にてチェックインを行うので注意が必要です。
朝食は大して美味しくありませんが、暖かい料理とコーヒーを楽しめました。
出発から2時間ほどすると、船から20メートル先にクジラが!!運良く見ることができました。
船はかなり大きい為、ポジショニングも大事になると思います。

The itinerary includes departing, cruising towards Diamond Head for a while, turning back, waiting in front of the Hilton, and then the fireworks start. The fireworks last about 10 minutes. The sequence is as follows: beach docking. They say that "Mai Tai" is easy to make, and they keep saying "Mai Tai, Mai Tai!" The only soft drink available is canned pineapple. By the way, we were the only Japanese people there. None of the crew spoke Japanese. It might be fun for those who understand English.
内容としては出航→ダイヤモンドヘッド方面へしばらくクルーズ→折り返し→ヒルトン前で待機→花火開始 花火は10分程度で終わり→船着きビーチの順です。飲み物は「マイタイ」が簡単に作れるらしく「マイタイ、マイタイ!」と言ってきます。ソフトドリンクは缶のパイナップルのみ。ちなみに日本人は私達だけでした。クルーも日本語は全員ダメ。英語が分かる人は楽しいかもね。
