Only caveat is we were at a different Outrigger and was confusing as to the location. At the last minute service personnel at our Outrigger informed us we had to walk to a new location that was not expected at all.

There is a regulation that prohibits approaching whales, so the boat does not get close to them. Therefore, it is not possible to take photos from a close distance like those on the explanation page. All announcements regarding whales are in English, so I do not recommend this for those who are not proficient in the language. Snacks and drinks are explained in English, so I couldn't figure out where they were located. Even with sunglasses and a hat, please be careful as the sunlight is very intense.
クジラに近づいてはいけないという条例があるので船はクジラに近づきません。よって説明ページのような至近距離からの写真は撮れません。

This time, my 9-year-old son, my husband, my mother-in-law in her 70s, and I participated together. The reception was a bit hard to find as it was located inside the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, across from the ABC Store. However, when I showed the voucher to the hotel staff, they kindly directed me to the reception area. When the time came, the staff gave a brief explanation (in all English), and then we all walked to the dock to board the boat. We were the only Japanese participants, which made us a bit anxious, but there were people from various countries joining us.
Once on the boat, the friendly staff explained snorkeling and talked to us in English. They patiently taught us how to inflate the life jackets, put on the fins, and wear the masks. As we listened to the explanations, we quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot and jumped into the sea! The beautiful ocean and numerous fish were amazing, and we even saw about five sea turtles up close! It was so close that it was surprising!
Additionally, soft drinks (like cola and Hawaiian drinks) and snacks were available for free, so we could eat whenever we felt a bit hungry.
After finishing snorkeling, we didn’t head back immediately but went sailing further out. We enjoyed many scenic views, even reaching the backside of Diamond Head. Sitting on the netting part of the boat while sailing was fantastic. We even spotted a whale, albeit briefly!
We had a very fulfilling time with snorkeling followed by sailing.
Here are some tips for those who will experience this:
1. If you are prone to motion sickness, be cautious as the boat can sway, and the waves during snorkeling can be intense. (I actually took motion sickness medication, but I still felt quite sick and had to return to the boat early. My son and husband, however, did not get sick and enjoyed the entire time.)
2. There are many other tours at the snorkeling spots, so there is a risk of getting separated if you get too absorbed in snorkeling. I made sure to stay close to our boat's staff.
3. Beginners in snorkeling may need to have some stamina. Fortunately, we were okay since we had some experience, but for first-timers, the wave height and moving to different spots might be challenging. However, it was nice that we could choose to return to the boat whenever we wanted.
I’ve mentioned three points, but overall, I am very satisfied!
今回、9歳の息子と私たち夫婦、70代ばあばの4人で参加しました。
受付はアウトリガーリーフワイキキビーチリゾートのホテル入って奥の方のABCストアの向かい側で初めてだと分かりずらいかもですが、ホテルのスタッフの方にバウチャー見せたら受付の場所を教えてもらえました。時間になるとスタッフの方が軽く説明をして(オール英語)、その後みんなで船着場まで歩き船に乗りました。日本人は私たちだけで不安でしたが、みなさん色々な国から参加されていました。
船に乗ると気さくなスタッフの方がシュノーケリングの説明や、色々英語で話してくれました。
ライフジャケットの空気の入れ方や、フィンの付け方、マスクの付け方など丁寧に教えてくれました。
説明を聞いているとすぐにシュノーケリングスポットにつき、いざ海へ!
綺麗な海とたくさんの魚、お目当ての海亀も五匹ほど間近で見れました!近すぎてびっくりするくらい!!
また、ソフトドリンク(コーラやハワイアンドリンク)や、スナックはフリーで食べれるので小腹が空いた時自由に食べれました。
最後シュノーケリングが終わった後はすぐに戻らず、さらに沖の方はセイリング。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側の方までいきたくさんの景色を楽しめました。やっとの網の部分に座ってのセーリングも最高でした。
最後に少しでしたがクジラも見えました!
シュノーケリングの、後のセーリングでとても充実した時間が過ごせました。
以下体験する方へのアドバイス
1、乗り物酔いする方は中々船の揺れや、シュノーケリングの、波も激しいので気おつけてください。(実際私は酔い止め飲みましたが途中で酔いがひどくなり先に船に戻りました。※息子や夫は酔わないので終始楽しんでいました。)
2、他のツアーがスポットにたくさんいるのでシュノーケリングに、没頭するとはぐれる危険性があります。こまめに自分の船のスタッフさんを連れての近くにいるようにしました。
3、シュノーケリング初心者は体力が必要かも。幸い私たちはシュノーケリングをしていたので大丈夫でしたが、初めての方だと波の高さや、スポットに毎回移動するのが困難かも
でも、船に戻りたくなったら先に戻っていいのでそこは自由で自身の判断でよかったです
3点書きましたが総合的には大満足です!

The conditions were windy with high waves, so it felt like an experience similar to Splash Mountain... I was able to see the whale's spray and tail, and on the way back, I was also able to see dolphins and honu, which was great. I couldn't take any photos, but the views of Honolulu and the departing airplanes were full of highlights, and the captain's guided announcements were entertaining.

The boat we initially reserved was canceled, and there were two changes after that. We had to wait for late customers, which delayed our departure and made us miss the best timing for the sunset. However, in the end, I was moved to tears by the beauty of the fireworks and the night view of Waikiki. It was truly stunning.

I was looking for activities to do in Hawaii with my 3-year-old, and I thought this would be a good option, so I made a reservation.
First, we took a larger boat to the diving point. During the ride, they pointed out things like, "Look, they're doing whale watching over there!" which made the journey enjoyable! We were also lucky to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle. My child had a great time.
Once we were in the submarine, we spent about 45 minutes underwater. While the adults enjoyed it, my active 3-year-old got a bit bored halfway through, and we ended up showing him a video for the last 10 minutes... (laughs)
However, for the first 15 minutes, he was excitedly saying things like, "The fish are waving at me!" I think it was a memorable experience for him since he even reenacted it during bath time when we got home!
Our family is an international marriage family living abroad, so English wasn't an issue for us. The guide was cheerful and shared jokes and interesting facts, which made it enjoyable, but those who are not confident in English might feel a bit left out. I heard that Japanese audio can be downloaded, but it might not always match what the guide is saying.
Overall, I think it was an activity that families with children can enjoy!
今回3歳連れで、ハワイでできるアクティビティを探していて、これはいいんじゃないかなと思って予約しました。
まず潜水ポイントまで、大きめの船で行きます。その時にも、結構「あそこでクジラウォッチングやってるよ、ほらあの方向」とか結構教えてくれて、その道のりも楽しみました!海亀もチラッと見えてとてもラッキーでした。子供もとても楽しんでいました。
潜水艦に潜ってからは45分ほど。大人は楽しめるのですが、うちの3歳動きたい坊やは途中でちょっと飽きてしまって、残り10半のところでビデオを見せることになってしまいました、、笑
でも初めの15分は「お魚さんが手振ってるー」とか言って楽しんでいる様子でした。
家に帰ってからもそれをお風呂で再現したりしているので、きっと心に残った経験だったんだろうなと思っています!
我が家は国際結婚ファミリーで、海外在住なので英語は問題なかったのですが、ガイドが陽気な方で、ジョークをとばしたりうんちくを言ってくれるので、楽しめましたが英語が苦手な方は置いてけぼり感があるかもしれません。日本語オーディオがダウンロードできるとのことでしたが、ガイドが話していることとは必ずしも一致しないと思います。
総じて、子連れで楽しめるアクティビティだったと思います!
At 3 years old, it might be questionable whether they can fully enjoy it, but still, I think it was worth it since there are few activities available for families with small children.
3歳だと100%楽しめるかは微妙かもです、、それでもやっぱり小さい子連れでできることは少ないので、やって良かったと思います。

The purpose was to see whales, but they were hard to find. Even when I did spot them, I could only see their spouts and a bit of their backs from a distance. It's understandable since it's nature, but later I was able to see the spouts from the hotel balcony as well.
クジラ見る目的なのだが、なかなか見つからなかった。見つけても遠くに潮吹きとわずかに背中が見える程度だった。自然が相手なので仕方ないが、後でホテルのベランダからも潮吹きは見れました。
When the weather is nice, you need to be careful about sunburn. Since you'll be looking for whales outside, there is little shade.

It was amazing to have a drink included, and we could freely take and eat snacks. Above all, we saw so many whales and dolphins! We were the only Japanese people on board, but on the contrary, all the other passengers were really lively, and it was a lot of fun.
We saw whales jumping with their calves and slapping their tails on the water's surface many times, and the guide even said, "This is the best whale watching ever," so we were very satisfied. Additionally, they delayed our return to the harbor so we could see the sunset without any obstructions, which was perfect.
If you're going to Hawaii during whale season, I definitely recommend this!
I also saw reviews about feeling seasick, but we were fine. Some people might need motion sickness medication, but it seems that those who are relatively strong don't have any issues.
ワンドリンク付き、スナック菓子も自由に取って食べられて、何よりクジラとイルカがたくさん見られて最高でした!
日本人は私達だけでしたが、逆に乗客がみんなノリが良くとっても楽しかったです。
クジラは親子でジャンプしているところや尻尾を水面に打ち付けているところが何度も沢山見られて、ガイドの人も「今までで最高のホエールウォッチングだ」と言っているほどで、非常に満足しました。
また、夕陽が沈むのを最後まで見られるように予定時間よりも遅めに帰港してくれたので、サンセットも遮るものなくバッチリ見られました。
クジラのシーズンにハワイに行くならぜひおすすめします!
酔うという口コミも見ましたが、私達は大丈夫でした。人によっては酔い止めがあるのかもしれませんが、割と強い人は無くて大丈夫そうです。

Sunset sailing was my first experience, but thanks to the lively and very friendly crew, I had a wonderful time. The person at the front can get splashed with water due to the waves, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.
サンセットセーリングは初めての体験でしたが、ノリがよくとても親切なクルーの方のお陰で素晴らしい時間が過ごせました。
先頭の人は水しぶきがかかるくらい揺れたりするので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
As noted in the precautions, you will be submerged in water up to your knees when boarding, so it's advisable to wear short pants. If you want to drink alcohol, I also recommend bringing your passport
注意事項にもある通り、乗船時に膝下まで水に浸かるのでちゃんと丈の短いボトムスで行くこと、お酒も飲みたい人はパスポートも持っていくこと(私も20代後半ですが提示を求められました)をお勧めします。
私たちと一緒に航海していただき、体験を共有してくださり、ありがとうございます!初めてのサンセットクルーズが素晴らしいものだったと聞いて、とても嬉しいです。また、私たちのフレンドリーなクルーがその思い出作りに貢献できたことも嬉しく思います。波が高くなるとサンセットセーリングは少し冒険的になりますので、乗り物酔いの薬についてのアドバイスは的確です—その情報を共有してくださり、ありがとうございます!海の風と素晴らしい景色がすべてを価値あるものにしてくれたことを願っています。また、忘れられない航海のために、ぜひ再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。
Thank you so much for sailing with us and sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your first sunset cruise was a wonderful one, and that our friendly crew helped make it memorable. Sunset sailing can be a bit adventurous when the waves pick up, so your tip about motion sickness medication is spot-on—thank you for passing that along! We hope the ocean breeze and stunning views made it all worthwhile, and we'd love to welcome you aboard again soon for another unforgettable ride.

Due to the high waves that started midway, there was no snack distribution. I had planned to go get a drink when the snacks were handed out, so I couldn't go. When I stopped by the bar counter upon disembarking, there were no staff present, and there were only a few snacks in a basket that people who noticed helped themselves to. The drinks were just a display of cans... If the distribution was canceled due to the high waves, I would have appreciated it if someone had been at the bar counter during disembarkation to hand them out. In the end, I wasn't able to receive the limited-time drink benefit. I noticed that some people didn't tip at all, so I wondered if that might have affected the service. Although I didn't see any whales, I had a great time seeing a lot of dolphins, which made the lack of service feel like a missed opportunity.
途中から波が高くなったせいかスナックの配布がなかった。スナック配布されたらドリンクを取りに行くつもりにしていたので行けず。下船時にバーカウンターに寄りましたが、スタッフ不在、スナックが少しだけカゴに入って置いていたので気づいた人が自ら取っていました。
ドリンクは缶の見本が並べてあっただけ…。高波で配布を見送ったのなら、下船時にバーカウンターにいて頂いて、お渡しして欲しかったです。結局期間限定特典のドリンクは受け取れずじまいでした。
チップを全く入れてない人もいたので、こういうことも影響しているのではないかと思いました。
クジラは見れませんでしたがイルカがたくさん見れて楽しかっただけに、サービスがもったいなく感じました。
For the 10:30 flight, if the weather is clear, the sunlight can be quite strong, so I think it's a good idea to have sunscreen and a light jacket.

I participated in a sunset cruise. It departs from the yacht harbor in Waikiki and returns in about an hour and a half, making it easy to join. On the day I went, I could see the whales' spouts and tails far off in the distance, but the crew did their best to keep things lively and entertaining. Since it's nature, whether you get to see the whales up close is a matter of luck.
サンセットクルーズに参加しました。ワイキキのヨットハーバーから出発して1時間半程度で帰ってこられるので気軽に参加できます。
私が参加した日は遥か遠くにクジラの潮吹きや尻尾が見える程度でしたが、クルーの皆さんは何とか盛り上げようと楽しませてくれました。自然相手のことなので、クジラが近くで見られるかは運次第です。
Since it's nature, whether you can see whales and how close you can get to them is completely a matter of luck. If you want to increase your chances, it might be better to go to the West Coast rather
自然相手なのでクジラが見られるか、どのくらい近い距離で見られるかなどは完全に運です。より確率を高めたいのであれば、ワイキキではなく西海岸の方に行った方がいいかもしれません。

Since it was a tour involving nature, I thought I wouldn't know if I would see anything until it was over, but in the end, I had a wonderful experience. I understood that we couldn't get too close to the whales and would only be able to see them from a distance, but the whales came close to us, and I was able to see them up very close.
I participated in early February, and there were many whales. I was moved by how many there were. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone whose timing aligns.
自然が相手のツアーなので、見れるかどうか終わってみないとわからないなぁ、と思っていましたが、結果、素晴らしい経験ができました。くじらにはあまり近づけないとのことで、遠くからしか見られないのは仕方ないと思っていましたが、クジラが近づいてきてくれて、ものすごく近くで見ることが出来ました。

I made a reservation for the sunset cruise, and I think the meeting place will be easy to find once you locate Prince Waikiki. When I went, there were also boats docked, which made it clear. I recommend arriving a bit earlier than the meeting time to secure good seats. Being at the very front might give you the best view in the end.
I participated at the end of January, and it started to get cold on the boat, so a jacket is a must. I brought a sweatshirt, but it was still chilly.
The boat rocked quite a bit, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was fine.
We encountered whales relatively early on! Although they were at a distance, we saw them multiple times. One even jumped high, but I missed it… just saw the splash.
They make sure to show you the sunset, so the disbanding time might vary. In our case, we were about 30 minutes late. (Please be cautious when scheduling your next plans.)
By the way, it mentioned snacks, but we didn’t receive any…
サンセットのコースで予約しましたが、集合場所はプリンスワイキキが見つかればすぐに見つかると思います。私が行った時は船も停船していたのでわかりやすかったです。集合時間よりも早めに行って並んでおいた方が良い席を確保できると思います。一番先頭が結局のところ一番見やすいかも。
1月末に参加しましたが、だんだん船上は寒くなってくるので上着必須です。私はトレーナー持っていきましたがそれでも寒かった。
結構揺れましたが、酔い止め飲んでおいたので大丈夫でした。
わりと早い段階からクジラに出会えました!遠目ですが何度も見れました。一度大ジャンプしたのですが、見逃しました…飛沫だけ…。
太陽の沈む時間までしっかりと見せてくれるので、解散時間はバラつきが出るかも。私達の時は30分ほど遅れました。(次の予定を入れる時はご注意下さい)
そう言えばスナックって書いてあったけど配られなかったな…
Please gather at the meeting place early, and plan the following schedule with some buffer time. A jacket is essential, and those who are prone to motion sickness should take anti-nausea medication.
早めに集合場所へ、その後の予定は余裕を持って、上着必須、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを。

I boarded the cruise that departed at 10:30. About 10 minutes after setting sail, while we could still see the streets of Waikiki, there was an English announcement saying, "Look towards 3 o'clock," and we spotted a whale's spout. We changed spots here and there to see whales… whales… whales… Mostly, we caught glimpses of parts of their bodies coming out of the water, and if we were lucky, we could also see the whale's tail.
At one point, there was an announcement saying, "There are dolphins!" and we were able to see a pod of dolphins as well! For almost the entire two hours, we were able to see something, which felt like a great deal. The view of Diamond Head from the sea was also beautiful!
The boat rocked quite a bit. One adult on board got seasick, and my one-year-old daughter threw up… Even though the staff provided paper towels and water, I think it would be wise to be well-prepared for seasickness (paying attention to meals beforehand, bringing drinks, and having a change of clothes ready).
10時半に出航する回に乗り込みました。
出航して10分ほど…まだワイキキの街並みが全然見えるところでさっそく「3時の方向をよく見て」という英語アナウンスがあり、くじらの潮吹きが見られました。とこどころスポットを変えてはくじら…くじら…くじら…。主には水面に体の一部を出してくるかんじをとらえつつ、ブシューッと潮吹きの場面を観る感じですが、運が良いとあのくじらの“尾”を観ることもできました。
またある地点では「いるかがいるよ!」というアナウンスがあり、イルカの群も見られました!
2時間のほとんどで何かしらを観ることができて、とってもお得でした。海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めもまたいいです!
船はかなり揺れました。
同乗の大人1名が途中船酔いでダウンし、1歳の娘は吐きました…。吐いてもスタッフの方がペーパータオルやお水をくれたりといろいろとよくしてくださったのですが、船酔い対策はいろいろと万全に(直前の食事への留意、飲み物を持ち込む、着替え用意)されたほうがいいかと思いました。
Be fully prepared for seasickness! Having binoculars might be even better!
船酔い対策は万全に!
双眼鏡とかがあると尚良いかもです!

On my way back to the mainland U.S. via Hawaii, I had a 14-hour wait for my flight. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I heard that this winter season is perfect for whale watching, so I joined a sunset tour. I participated alone, but I had a great time. The guide was entertaining (laughs).
It would have been even better if we could have gotten closer to the whales, but perhaps because the boat was larger than the smaller ones, we observed from a bit further away. However, I was very satisfied to see the whales' tails. Unexpectedly, I also saw two dolphins. The sunset was beautiful and soothing. I'm glad I participated!!
ハワイ経由でアメリカ本土へ帰る際、ハワイでのフライト待ち時間が14時間ありました。ハワイ自体初めてでしたが、何よりもこの冬の時期、クジラウォッチングに最適との事で、サンセット込みのツアーに参加しました。1人での参加でしたが、存分に楽しめました。ガイドさん、面白かったです(笑)
もっとクジラに近づければなお良かったのですが、他の小型船より大型だったためか少し遠目からの見学でしたが、クジラのテイルも見れて大満足です。思いがけず、イルカも2匹見れました。サンセットも美しくて癒されました。参加して良かったです!!
Since the wind is strong, take measures to prevent your hat from blowing away. It's also a good idea to have sunglasses.
風が強いので、帽子などが飛ばないように対策を。サングラスもあった方がいいですね。

At the Whales Museum in Wakayama, you can feed the whales.
