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!!
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。

Don’t mistake their wry humour for un professionalism. Saw them take another’s concerns with slightly damaged gear seriously. Would’ve liked a more guided experience on the water where to best see stuff but for the cost, I can’t blame em. A dolphin pod swam up to the boat on the way back and they stopped to let us experience it.

It was easy to get around since the boat departs from Waikiki. At the snorkeling point, there were turtles that we could see up close. The water off Waikiki was also very clear and beautiful.
Additionally, after snorkeling, we cruised around to the back of Diamond Head, which made it feel like more than just a snorkeling trip. The staff only spoke English, but they provided explanations in Japanese, so even those who are not good at English will be fine!
ワイキキから船が出るので、移動が楽でした。シュノーケルポイントもカメが居て間近で見れました。ワイキキ沖でも水が澄んでいて凄く綺麗でした。
また、シュノーケルの後、ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏位までクルージングしてくれて、ただシュノーケルやってお終いって感じじゃなかったのが良かったです。スタッフは英語だけですが、日本語の説明書きを見せてくれるので、英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫です!
If you're looking to do some quick snorkeling nearby, I recommend this!

This time, it might have been a bit early in the season, but we persevered and managed to catch a glimpse of a whale swimming just at the last moment. We were able to see a honu and what I think was a flying fish, and the sea breeze felt wonderful! That's what my partner said.
I was feeling seasick and ended up lying down.
今回は少し時期が早いのか中々見られずでしたが、ギリギリまで粘って探してくださり少しだけクジラの泳ぐ姿を見れました。
ホヌやトビウオ?は見ることが出来ましたし、海風も気持ちよかったです♪

私は船酔いでグロッキーとなり横たわっていました^^;
I think it's definitely worth seeing for nature enthusiasts, and if you can choose the timing, mid-season might be the best option. If you're worried about seasickness, please take some medication bef
自然のアクティブのため必ず見れると思わず、そして時期は選べるならシーズンの中旬あたりが良いかもしれませんね。

Since the main event is in early spring, I boarded with moderate expectations. However, we encountered a whale before reaching the point! Although I couldn't take any photos, I was able to enjoy watching a whale jump high up close (just like in promotional photos). Most of the passengers were Americans, but there were also about three groups of Japanese. It's easy to get there by Uber or bus, and for this price, I'm very satisfied!
本番は春先ということで、期待そこそこで乗船。ところがポイント到着前からくじらに遭遇!写真は撮れませんでしたが、大きくジャンプするくじら(まさに宣材写真の通り)を至近で楽しむことが出来ました。殆どが米人ですが、日本人グループも3組ほどいました。
Uberでもバスでも行きやすく、この値段なら大満足です♪

It's inexpensive, the boat is large and stable, and the staff is not mean. I was told that we wouldn't see any whales in December, but we saw many, and they were very close, clearly showing their bodies and fins, even spouting water—it was truly moving. I think there were about 100 participants, but no Japanese people. Well, the restroom was smelly, but that's unavoidable. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. I've been to Hawaii around 30 times, but this might have been the best experience yet!
お安いし、船も大きくて安定してるし、スタッフも意地悪じゃない。12月は見れないと言われていたクジラもたくさん見れて、何頭もすごく近くで体、ヒレもはっきり、潮まで吹いてくれて感動しかない。100人とか参加してたと思うけど日本人なし。まあ、トイレは臭いけど仕方なし。集合場所は若干わかりにくいかな。ハワイは30回とかは軽く来てるけど、今までで一番よかったかも!

I had booked a shark tour, but it was suddenly canceled, and instead, I joined a submarine tour, which turned out to be a great decision.
Getting the chance to go inside a submarine is something you don't usually experience in life, and it felt like being in a moving aquarium, full of excitement and thrill. Although I didn't get to see turtles or whales, there were impressive sights like a sunken airplane.
The explanations were in English, and while I couldn't fully understand them, the atmosphere was still enjoyable. The ferry ride to the location was also quite an experience due to the strong winds.
I highly recommend this tour as it's enjoyable for everyone, from children to the elderly.

I have previously been on the Mai Tai Catamaran in front of the Sheraton and the Nohok 2 Catamaran in front of Outrigger Beach. This was my first time here. The reception staff and the yacht crew were the friendliest.
Since I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village through a free accommodation experience, I was considering either Holokai in front of Outrigger Reef or Pink Sails in front of the Prince Hotel, but I chose this one due to the departure time.
The snorkeling instructions were in English, so I couldn't understand the details. I recommend watching the videos uploaded by Pink Sails. The snorkeling spot had five other yachts from different companies gathered. On the day, it was windy with some waves, and I heard from the crew that the conditions were a bit tough. I didn't see any turtles, but I was able to see quite a few fish. I think such things can happen when dealing with nature.
After snorkeling, we were given bottled water. The free soft drinks refer to this. Sunscreen is available for free. We raised the sails and enjoyed a refreshing cruise off Waikiki for a while before returning to Outrigger Reef.
今までシェラトン前のマイタイカタマランとアウトリガービーチ前のナホク2カタマランに乗ったことがあります。こちらは初となります。受付スタッフやヨットのクルーの対応は一番フレンドリーでした。
無料宿泊体験でヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに泊まったので、歩いていけるアウトリガーリーフ前のホロカイかプリンスホテル前のピンクセイルスどちらかにしようかまよったのですが、出航時間の都合でこちらにしました。
シュノーケルの注意点は英語でしたので細かいことは分かりませんでした。ピンクセイルスに動画がアップされているので、見ることをお勧めします。シュノーケルをする場所は他社のヨット5隻が集まっていました。当日は風が強く波もありクルーから少しハードなコンディションと聞きました。タートルは見れませんでしたが、魚は結構見ることができました。自然相手なのでそういうこともあると思いいます。
シュノーケルが終わるとペットボトルの水が渡されました。ソフトドリンク無料というのはこのことです。日焼け止めは無料で使えます。帆を上げて、しばらくワイキキ沖をクルージングし爽快な気分を味わえます。そしてアウトリガーリーフ前へ帰港となります。
Since this activity departs from Waikiki Beach, it doesn't take much travel time, making it easy to schedule within a limited stay. I recommend it for snorkeling and cruising.
ワイキキビーチから出発するアクティビティなので移動時間もかからず、限られた滞在の中でスケジュールが立てやすくシュノーケル、クルージングをできるのでオススメします。
