We had an amazing time. It was a really easy process from boarding and check in to the snorkeling to getting back to the dock. We got to see lots of fish and turtles. Anna and Zane were super helpful in making us feel comfortable especially since this was our first time snorkeling, I would recommend this especially if you are a first timer, we had a great time and really enjoyed every second of it

A disclaimer agreement is sent via email in English beforehand, so all participants need to check it and return it. I used Google Lens to roughly translate it, checked it, and replied, but since it was a boat activity, it was a long document.
Although it was more expensive than other tours, it was nice that we could embark without moving. However, the reception location was hard to find, and the meeting place was also unclear. Although it was supposed to start at 1 PM, we were told it would be from 1 to 8 PM on the day, which made it feel like we were starting off late. (The port call was around 3:30 PM.)
Unfortunately, on the day I participated, we didn’t see any whales or dolphins, just a turtle floating by, and it turned out to be more of a cruise around Diamond and other scenic spots. It seemed like they really tried hard to find something since they are in the business. In such cases, you will receive a reboarding ticket when you disembark. If you wish, you can also make a reservation for the next day on your way back.
I couldn’t ask in detail since I’m not fluent in English, but I was told that the ticket can be used the following year or anytime after. Just let them know over the phone that you have the reboarding ticket to make a reservation. (I believe they also mentioned that you could transfer to other sunset cruises. It seems that if it’s a more expensive tour, there might be a difference in cost.)
The reboarding ticket has the number of participants written on it, and I was told that it cannot be split into individual tickets for two people to use separately. So, it might be better not to set the reboarding for the last day of your trip!
The explanation on the boat right after boarding was, of course, in native-speed English, and the safety instructions were quite long. Since I’m not fluent in English, I didn’t understand it well, which made me a bit cautious about safety.
As for moving around the boat, there are open spaces at the front and back without a roof, seating inside, and some tables. There is a restroom in the starboard lower deck. There’s also a bar counter inside the boat. Free chips and snacks are available on the tables inside. If you sit outside, the staff will come to take your drink orders. Free soft drinks include pineapple, guava, Sprite, Coca-Cola, and water. You can have as many as you want for free, but tips are appreciated.
In the end, we didn’t see any whales, but since you can board again if you don’t see any, it might be nice for those with time to enjoy multiple cruises. By the way, when I asked if there were whales yesterday, they said there were. Personally, I think the afternoon departure, unlike other tours, might increase the chances of seeing them.
The boat rocked quite a bit. It’s dangerous to move around while it’s moving, so it’s best to hold onto the handrails and go slowly. Those who are sensitive might get seasick. The sun was shining brightly, so be careful of sunburn. Since it rocked a lot and I didn’t move around, I couldn’t take many pictures of the boat.
I hope this information is helpful.
(事前に免責事項の同意書が英語のメールで送られてくるので、参加人全員がチェックを入れて戻す必要がありました。グーグルレンズ利用でざっと訳してチェックを入れて返信しましたが、船のアクティビティなので、長い文章でした)
他のツアーより割高だが、移動せずに出航できてよかった。ただし、受付の場所がわかりにくく、集合場所もよくわからず、13時からであるが当日で13-20と言われ、はいはい遅れるのね・・・というスタートでした。(寄港は15:30くらい)
また、仕方ないですが、参加した日は鯨はみられませんでして、イルカもみられず、ちらっと亀が浮いているだけで、ダイヤモンドやその他景色をクルージングしたような形になりました。向こうも商売なので、かなり粘って探してくれたように感じました。
そういう場合は、降りる際に、再乗船できるチケットをいただけます。希望すれば帰りにそのまま翌日の予約もできます。
英語が堪能でないので詳しくは聞けませんでしたが、翌年でもそのあとでも、ずっと使えるよ。電話でその再乗船券を持っていることを伝えて予約してね。とのことでした。(他のサンセットクルーズなどにも振り替えができると説明していたと思われます。より高いツアーであれば差額が必要っぽい)
再乗船のための券が、人数がかかれているものであり、二人別々に使うように一名ずつのチケットに分割することはできないと言われましたので、再利用はその旅行内にできるように、最終日に設定しない方がいいのかもしれません!
乗船した後すぐの船の上での説明は、当然ネイティブスピードの英語での注意事項説明などが、結構長くありまして、英語が堪能でないのでよくわかっておりませんでしたので、安全上ちょっと怪しげだったので気をつけました。
船上の動き方としては、屋根がない前と後ろのスペースと、船内に座れるところ、一部テーブルがあり、船内右舷地下にトイレがあります。船内にバーカウンターもあります。船内のテーブルには無料のチップスなどが置いてあります。外に座っていると、係の方がドリンクのオーダーを取りに来てくれます。無料のソフトドリンクは、パイナップル、グアバ、スプライト、コカコーラ、水などがあります。何杯でも無料ですがチップをちょうだいね。のシステムのようでした。
結果、鯨はみられませんでしたが、みられないとまた船に乗れるので、時間がある方にとっては、何度もクルージングできていいかもしれません。ちなみに昨日は鯨はいたか?と聞いてみたら、いたよー。ということでした。個人的には他のツアーと違っての午後出発なので、時間帯的にみられる可能性が高い低いあるかもなと思ったりしています。
船、結構揺れました。動いている途中の移動は危険なので手すり捕まってゆっくりがよさそうです。弱い人は酔うかもです。日光さんさんとしていて、日焼け危険です。揺れが大きくて移動しなかったので、船の写真はあまりとれませんでした。
以上、参考になれば。

This combo offers an immersive and entertaining experience that captures the spirit of Hawaiian culture. The evening begins with a warm welcome and traditional lei greeting, setting the tone for an authentic Hawaiian experience.
The dinner itself features a delicious buffet spread showcasing a variety of local dishes, including traditional Hawaiian favorites such as kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, and poi. The food is fresh, flavorful, and provides a wonderful introduction to Hawaiian cuisine.
The performance showcases the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii and other Pacific Islands, with vibrant costumes, energetic dances, and soulful music that transport audiences to another time and place. One of the highlights of the evening is the fire knife dance, a mesmerizing display of skill and daring that never fails to impress. Watching the performers twirl, spin, and juggle flaming knives against the backdrop of the night sky is truly awe-inspiring and adds an exhilarating finale to the show.

I participated in parasailing starting at 11 o'clock. The guide was a local, but when giving instructions, they spoke simple Japanese like "sit" and "stand," so I think even those who don't understand English can participate in the activity with peace of mind. I chose a height of 120 meters, which was sufficiently high and thrilling. The sky was clear, and the view was amazing. I asked someone who was on the boat with me to take photos from the boat. I also put my phone in a waterproof case with a transparent string and took photos and videos from the sky.
11時からのパラセーリングに参加しました。ガイドさんは現地の方でしたが、指示を出す際は簡単な日本語で「座って」や「立って」と話しかけてくれたので英語が分からない方でも安心してアクティビティに参加できると思います。
高さは120mを選びましたが十分な高さがありスリル満点でした。空は晴れており眺めは最高でした。写真は同乗していた方に頼んで船の上から撮ってもらいました。また自分でも透明の紐付き防水ケースに携帯を入れ空から写真や動画を撮りました。

There were performances typical of Hawaii, as well as impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson... it was quite a packed experience. It might be similar to the shows you see in Las Vegas. I had a great time on my last night in Honolulu.

When it comes to winter in Hawaii, whale watching is definitely a highlight! I participated in early February 2024.
I took an Uber from my hotel to the meeting point for the first morning tour. During this time of year, it can get a bit cool in the mornings and evenings, so having a light jacket was a good idea. Upon arriving at the meeting point right next to the Prince Hotel, I found many guests from the mainland USA already lined up. (It seemed there were few Asian guests.) After giving my name to a staff member in a PINK SAILS uniform, I completed the check-in process. Once the boat was ready, we were guided to board.
The interior of the boat is spacious, but seats at the front and on the upper deck are taken in the order of boarding. If you hesitate, you might miss out on a good seat, so I recommend getting in line early!
I was a bit anxious about seasickness, but the waves were calm on the day I participated. Since it was a catamaran, there was little rocking, and I could enjoy the pleasant sea breeze. We departed the harbor and moved a little off the coast of Waikiki. The boat stopped near Hilton's beach, and the whale watching began. Fortunately, during my tour, we spotted a mother and calf whale within just a few minutes, coming close enough to see them clearly. We maintained a respectful distance to avoid stressing the whales, allowing us to observe their fins and spouts for a while.
The onboard guide spoke entirely in English, providing detailed explanations about whale behavior, including parenting methods, as well as the direction of where to look for the whales. While good listening skills in English are necessary, there were many interesting stories that were very informative. The guide also indicated the direction of the whales (like 11 o'clock or 3 o'clock), and all the guests from the mainland were looking in the same direction. Even if someone missed the English explanation, they could follow the gaze of the other guests to spot the whales!
However, since the color of the whales' backs can blend in with the ocean, it might be difficult to see them from a distance. If you're prepared, bringing binoculars could help you see better.
After enjoying the whale watching, a pod of dolphins appeared in the distance. While they didn't jump high, they surfaced and showed their fins, and compared to the whales, the dolphins were more playful and adorable, which was a delightful surprise. Just when I thought I was already satisfied with the whales, the excitement continued! A white woman sitting next to me kept exclaiming "Oh my god" in delight, and the little children were also visibly thrilled.
Seeing such precious wildlife off the coast of Waikiki, surrounded by tall buildings, truly showcases the unique beauty of Hawaii's nature. It seems there are days when you might not see anything depending on the wave conditions and the whales' mood, so I feel incredibly grateful for my good fortune.
I'm really glad I participated. Thank you to all the staff!
冬のハワイの風物詩といえば、やっぱりホエールウォッチングですね!2024年2月初旬に参加しました。
朝一番の回、ホテルからUberで集合場所まで移動。この時期のハワイは朝晩少し涼しくなりますので、薄手の上着があって良かったです。プリンスホテル真横の集合場所に到着すると、既にたくさんの米国本土のお客様が並んでいました。(アジア系のゲストは少ない様子でした。)
PINK SAILSさんの制服を着たスタッフさんに名前を伝えればチェックイン完了です。船の準備が整ったところで乗船の案内をいただきました。
船内は広々していますが、前の席や上のデッキ等は乗船した順で取られていきます。遠慮していると良い席に座れなくなりますので、早めに列に並んでおくのがお勧めです。!
船酔いしないか少しヒヤヒヤしていましたが、私が参加した日は波も穏やか。カタマラン船なので船の揺れも少なく、気持ち良い潮風を感じることもできました。港を出発しワイキキ沖を少し進みます。ヒルトンのビーチが見える辺りで船が止まり、クジラ探しがスタート。私の参加回は強運なことに数分の創作でクジラの親子が見つかり、ギリギリ見えるくらいの距離まで接近してくれました。親子のストレスにならないようにボートとクジラの距離を保ちながら、しばらくクジラの背びれや潮吹きの様子を見ることができました。
船内のガイドは全て英語ですが、クジラの見える方向に加えて子育ての仕方などもクジラの生態も丁寧に説明してくれます。英語のリスニング力が必要ですが、興味深い話も多く、大変参考になりました。
またクジラが見える場所については、何時の方向(11時の方向、3時の方向等)で教えてくれますし、一緒に乗っているアメリカ本土のお客さんが全員同じ方向を向いてくれます。英語ガイドを聞き逃した人も、周りのお客さんに合わせて視線を向ければ、クジラの姿に気がつくはず…です!
なお、クジラの背中と海の色が似ているため、なかなか遠くからは見えづらい場合もあると思います。準備ができる方は望遠鏡などを持っていくとよく見えるかもしれません。
一通りクジラウォッチングを楽しんだ後、遠くにイルカの群れが現れてました。大きなジャンプこそなかったですが、鼻を出してくれたり、背びれを見せてくれたり、クジラに比べてアグレッシブでかわいいイルカたちも見られ感動でした。クジラだけでも大満足だったところに嬉しいサプライズ!横に乗っていた白人女性の方は嬉しさのあまり「Oh my god」と言い続け、小さなお子さんたちも大喜びの様子でした。
ビルが立ち並ぶワイキキ沖でこんなに貴重な野生動物が見られるなんて、ハワイの大自然は唯一無二ですね。
波の状況やクジラの気分によっては見られない日もあるようなので、自身の強運には驚きと感謝ばかり。
参加でき本当に良かったです。スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました!

I had been curious about the "Waikiki Starlight Luau" for a while, and this time I enjoyed it luxuriously from the Diamond Premium seats.
The venue is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, in a building adjacent to the Grand Waikikian. It's very close to the main entrance of the Hawaiian Village, so if you're feeling unsure, just head towards the entrance, and you should see the Starlight Luau sign nearby. I was a bit nervous about finding the venue since it was my first time attending, but there were plenty of signs, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.
The event was set to start at 4:45 PM, so I took my time, but by the time I arrived around 4:35 PM, there was already a long line! The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I recommend arriving a bit early if you're in the Golden Seats. With the Diamond Premium seats, you can enter before the Golden Seats and are guaranteed seats close to the stage, so you don't have to rush too much to secure a good spot.
The weather was beautifully sunny, typical of Hawaii! When the venue first opened, I could enjoy the pleasant blue sky, the Hilton buildings, and a view of Waikiki beach. Being able to enjoy the time from daylight to night is one of the unique pleasures of this luau.
Once inside, I received a lei greeting and took a commemorative photo, then headed to my seat with a Mai Tai in hand! All the seating is communal, so I chatted with guests from the mainland who were sitting nearby while enjoying the welcome music and hula dance on stage.
After a while, when all the guests in the Golden Seats had entered, the showmaster made the opening announcement. First, it was time for dinner, served buffet-style with music. Guests from the Diamond Premium seats lined up first to serve themselves. The quality of the food was exceptional. Everything, from the meat to the bread and salad, was delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds of the mini malasadas and roast beef. It's great to be able to get plenty of vegetables through the salad, especially since they can be lacking during a stay in Hawaii.
You can also order alcoholic drinks with drink tickets, but be prepared to show an ID. Many Japanese people often look younger than those from the mainland, so it's a good idea to keep a copy of your passport handy. Additionally, many staff members circulate around the tables, so if you need help, they are quick to assist. It was nice when they approached me with friendly questions like, "Are you having fun?" which made me feel at ease.
After finishing the meal and as dusk approached, the dance show began. In my session, six dancers performed various tropical dances. The beauty of the women's hula dance was breathtaking. The Tahitian dance, which is not something I usually see, was also powerful and very interesting. During the show, there was a scene celebrating an anniversary, and the atmosphere of everyone enjoying the luau was delightful. Many children from the mainland were participating, and it was adorable to see them dancing with their mothers!
The finale of the dance show featured a fire dance by strong male dancers! The atmosphere became intense as preparations began, and men with torches appeared on the dark stage. Having seen several fire dances in my line of work, I can say that the dancers at the Starlight Luau had impressive techniques! Their performances, including fire manipulation and combinations with each other, created a captivating show that kept my eyes glued to the stage. It was a fantastic performance that was fitting for the grand finale. I was applauding enthusiastically alongside the American guest next to me.
Another great point is the easy access from the center of Waikiki compared to other luaus. If you have time, it might be nice to stroll around the Hilton Waikiki Village before the show. There are plenty of shopping, dining, and café options within the Hilton Waikiki Village to enjoy for a while.

以前から気になっていた「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」。今回は贅沢にダイヤモンドプレミアシートで楽しませていただきました。
会場はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内、グランドワイキキアンに併設した建物です。ハワイアンビレッジのメインエントランスからすぐ近くですので、不安な方はひとまずハワイアンビレッジのエントランスに向かえば、近くにスターライトルアウの看板が見えるはずです。初めての参加で、会場探しからドキドキしましたが、看板の数も多いので迷うことなく会場まで到着することができました。
16:45から会場とのことでゆっくりしていましたが、私が到着した16:35頃には既に長い列が…!並んだ順に好きな席に座っていくスタイルなので、特にゴールデンシートでご参加の方は少し早めに到着しておくことがお勧めです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートの場合は、ゴールデンシートより先に入場ができる他、ステージ間近の席が確約されているので、急ぎすぎなくても良い席を確保できそうでした。
当日はハワイらしい快晴!開場したばかりの頃は気持ちの良い青空とヒルトンの建物群、ワイキキの海も見渡すことができました。明るい時間帯から夜までの時間を楽しめるのは、このルアウならではの醍醐味ですね。
会場に入ってレイグレイーティングと記念撮影をいただき、その後はマイタイを手に持って自席へ!全ての席が相席ですので、近くに座ったアメリカ本土からのお客さんとも会話をしながら、ステージでのウェルカム演奏やフラダンスを楽しみました。
しばらくたってゴールデンシートのお客様も全員が入場した頃から、いよいよショーマスターより開会のアナウンス。まずは音楽とともにお食事タイム、ビュッフェスタイルです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートのゲストから順番に並んで取り分けていきます。お食事のクオリティはさすがの一言。お肉もパンもサラダも全て美味しく、ついついミニマラサダやローストビーフをおかわりしてしまう程でした。ハワイ滞在中に不足しがちなお野菜もサラダでたっぷり摂れるのは嬉しいポイントですね。
食事に合わせドリンクチケットでアルコールも頼むことができますが、IDカードの提示を求められることも。。日本人は米国本土の方より若く見える人も多いので、パスポートのコピー等はすぐ出せる場所に持っていると安心です。
また、たくさんのスタッフがテーブルを回ってくれていますので、困ったことはすぐにサポートしてくれます。「楽しんでる?」という風に、向こうから親しげに話しかけてくれることも、気持ちが和らぎ、ありがたいとこでした。
一通りお食事が終わり、夕暮れも進んだころから、ダンスショーが開幕です。私の回では、男女合計6名のダンサーさんにて、様々な南国のダンスを披露してくださいました。特に女性のフラダンスは息を飲む美しさ。普段馴染の少ないタヒチアンダンスも迫力がありとても興味深かったです。
ショーの途中には、アニバーサリーを祝うシーンもあり、会場全体でルアウの時間を満喫している空気が心地よかったです。米国本土から参加しているゲストの子供たちも多く、お母さんたちと一緒にダンスを頑張っている姿は可愛かった~!
ダンスショーのフィナーレは屈強な男性ダンサー陣によるファイヤーダンス!!
直前からものものしい雰囲気で準備が始まり、暗いステージに松明を持った男性たちが登場します。仕事柄これまでもファイヤーダンスはいくつか見てきましたが、スターライトルアウのダンサーさんたちはテクニックが見事!火を舐めるようなパフォーマンス、ダンサー同士のコンビネーション技など、目を離せないショーが繰り広げられ、見入ってしまいました。
ショーの締めくくりにふさわしい素晴らしい演目です。私も隣の米国人と一緒に拍手喝さいでした。
他のルアウに比べて、ワイキキ中心地からアクセスが良いことも嬉しいポイントですね。
時間のある方は、ショーの前にヒルトンワイキキビレッジ内を散策してみるのも良いかもしれません。ショッピングやレストラン、カフェ巡りなどヒルトンワイキキビレッジだけでもしばらく楽しめる施設があります。
なお、全行程が英語で案内されていきますが、丁寧なスタッフたちが親身にサポートしてくれます。またダンスショー自体は言葉を超えたパフォーマンスですので、英語が苦手な方でも十分楽しめるはず!
(一部ショーマスターの話す冗談など、英語ネイティブでないと難しい内容もありましたが、ほとんど不自由は感じませんでした。)
ハワイの風を感じながら参加できること、ヒルトンさんならではのクオリティ、ホスピタリティにも溢れたショーケースでした。
スタッフの皆様、本当にありがとうございました!

I seriously cannot even get started on how much fun this was.
We booked this for part of our friends bachelor & bachelorette weekend in Waikiki and I'm so glad we did.
The location was easy enough to find and right away the staff was super friendly. We bought the $40 unlimited drink cups and WOW were we all drunk by the end. The DJ was awesome and played so much fun music, Tiana was amazing, she was so sweet to talk to and gave our friends a shout out which made the night feel even more special. All the drinks were delicious and well made.
The amount of people on board was pretty perfect, not so many people that it was over whelming but enough to still make it feel like a party! The only thing that would have made this better would be the option to stay on for a bit longer.
I would HIGHLY recommend doing this and if I ever find myself in Waikiki again I will be sure to book.

I had previously experienced parasailing in Guam, but this time my middle school grandson wanted to try it, so we did a 120-meter experience. Seeing my grandson's happy face made me feel that it was worth it.
以前グアムでパラセイリングの経験はありましたが、今回中学生の孫が飛んでみたいと言うので120メートルの体験をしました。
孫の楽しそうな顔を見て、やってよかったなと思いました。

We had an amazing experience with Chad and the crew of Three Tiki Sailing. We took an 8:00 am sail to avoid the winds and the weather was perfect. Parking was easy and inexpensive along the harbor. There was another large group lining up near our catamaran. We were happy to find that our boat had only a dozen guests making for what felt like a private tour. We almost felt sorry for the packed multi-level boat adjacent to us. The Three Tiki team were entertaining and made the entire tour educational. We saw a sea turtle before we even made it out of the harbor. Within 20 minutes we saw our first whale and consistently saw a mom and calf throughout our time. It does get a little chilly in the morning so a light jacket is recommended. Honestly if we hadn’t seen any whales the experience alone of sailing on the catamaran and lounging in the trampolines would have been worth it. But the Three Tiki team navigated well and made sure we got the full experience. Would highly recommend this group.
So glad to hear you had a great time out there!! Hope to see you back soon!!

Due to high waves on the day, we were advised to switch to surfing, and although I was a bit anxious, I went ahead with the change. The staff, who spoke a little Japanese, kindly taught us, and we were able to get on the board quickly. My wife was with me, and she also got the hang of it right away, so we both had a lot of fun.
The one-hour session flew by, but it was just the right amount of physical activity. I was sore the next day. (laughs)
We borrowed the designated rash guards from the shop. We packed our belongings into one backpack for the two of us. They provided towels for us.
当日波が高かったため、サーフィンへの変更を薦めてもらい、不安がありながらサーフィンに変更しました。
日本語が少し話せるスタッフが優しく教えてくださり、すぐボードに乗れるようになりました。奥さんも一緒でしたがすぐ乗れるようになり、2人でとても楽しめました。
1時間の時間もあっという間でしたが、体力的に丁度良かったです。次の日は筋肉痛でした。笑
ラッシュガードは店の指定のものを借りて着用します。私たちは2人でナップサック1つに荷物をまとめました。タオルは貸し出ししてくれます。
Dear Ryu,
Thank you very much for the five-star rating. I'm glad to hear that you both enjoyed your time, even while changing to surfing. Next time, it would be great for you to experience a stand-up paddle lesson! I appreciate your explanation regarding the rush guard and your luggage. Unfortunately, we do not provide towels for rent. The towels we offer are available only for guests staying at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, so customers not staying there are kindly requested to bring their own towels. We look forward to your next visit!
リュウ様:
五つ星のレイティング、誠に有難うございます。サーフィンに変わりながらもお二人で楽しんで頂けたようで何よりです。次回は是非スタンドアップパドルレッスンをご体験なされると良いですね!ラッシュガード、お荷物の件も説明して頂き有難いです。タオルは残念ながら貸し出しはしておりません。弊社の扱っているタオルは、ロイヤルハワイアンホテルにお泊りの方のみご利用頂けますので、ロイヤルハワイアンホテルに泊まっていないお客様はタオルをご持参願います。 またのお越しをお待ちしております!

Since I was staying at Hawaiian Village, it was easy to find the location of Pink Sails in front of Prince Waikiki, about a 15-minute walk. We set sail at 8 AM, and during the two-hour trip, we were able to see the spouts from a distance several times. When we turned around, we encountered a whale swimming slowly parallel to our boat, and later, two more whales swam by. Finally, we saw one of them slowly sinking its tail as if to say goodbye. I think a smaller boat would have allowed us to see them even closer, but I felt very lucky. I bought motion sickness medication at ABC Mart and took it beforehand. If you plan to go, I recommend bringing some from Japan.
ハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたので、徒歩15分くらいで、プリンスワイキキ前のピンク・セイルズの場所はわかりやすかったです。朝8時に出航し、2時間の間に遠目に潮吹きを何度か見られて、Uターンしたころに、船にゆっくりと並行するくじらと遭遇、そのあとも2頭のくじらが泳ぎ去り、最後にさよならをするようにゆっくりとしっぽを沈めていくのを見ることが出来ました。もう少し小さな船のほうが、もっと間近で見られていたようにですが、とても運が良かったと思います。酔い止めはABCマートで買い事前に飲みました。予定しているのなら日本からの持参をお勧めします。

It was cloudy with a chance of rain, and we were told it might be canceled, but the rain stopped and we were able to experience it. (The people from the earlier time had their experience canceled due to the rain.)
It was so much fun while flying!!
Whether or not you choose the photo option affects the duration of your stay in the air. Since we said we didn't need photos, we were brought down faster than those who were taking pictures. Also, some people who got motion sickness had their experience canceled, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
曇りのち雨で、もしかしたらキャンセルかもと言われていましたが、雨が止み体験可能となりました。(前の時間の人たちは雨のため、キャンセルとなっていました。)
飛んでいる時はとっても楽しい!!
写真のオプションをつけるか、つけないかで空中の滞在時間が変わります。写真はいらないと言った私たちは、写真を撮る人たちよりも早く下ろされました。また、船酔いしてしまった人もキャンセルとなっていたので、しっかり酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。

We participated because the kids wanted to go parasailing. It was higher than we imagined, and the parents were scared, but the kids said it was the best part of the trip. The meeting point with the voucher was a bit unclear, but we received a tour reservation email the day before, so we were able to gather without any confusion. It was also a plus that it was very close to the hotel.
子供達がパラセイリングがしたいということで参加しました。想像以上の高さで、親は怖かったけど、子供達はこの旅で1番よかったらしいです。バウチャーだと待ち合わせ場所がいまいちでしたが、前日にツアー予約メールがくるので、迷わず集合できました。ホテルからすぐだったのも良いポイントでした。

The weather was cloudy with light rain starting partway through, but I was fortunate enough to spot whales three times, seeing their spouts, backs, and tails. It was an English tour, but whenever a whale appeared, someone would shout "Whale! Right?" so it wasn't a problem. I was at the very front of the boat and was thrilled to see turtles and dolphins swimming nearby. However, the boat was quite rocky, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication. I also noticed some people feeling groggy inside the boat.
Additionally, it can be surprisingly cold on the water, so a jacket or a towel is essential. There is a directive to print out a waiver on paper, but it seemed that you could also read a QR code at the reception and respond that way. For those who are not confident in English, I think it would be fine to sign the printed paper and bring it along.
I hope everyone has a great experience!
天候は曇りで途中から小雨が降るなど恵まれませんでしたが、クジラには気付いただけで3回、塩吹き、背中、尾びれまで見ることが出来ました。英語ツアーでしたがクジラがでるとどなたかがWhale!right などと叫ぶので問題なかったです。船の一番前で見ていたところ、カメやイルカが泳ぐのも身近に見れて大満足。ただし、かなり揺れがあったので酔い止めを飲まれることを強くおすすめします。船内でグロッキー状態の方も見かけました。
また海上は意外と寒いので上着やバスタオルなど羽織物も必須です。
なお、宣誓書を紙でプリントアウトしていくよう指示がありますが、当日受付でQRコードを読んで回答してもよいようでした。英語苦手な方は印刷した紙にサインしてお持ちになればよいかと思います。
みなさんの体験がよいものでありますように

Highly recommend this evening out . The captain and his first mate are absolutely professional and also a lot of fun. We felt very looked after and safe on the adventure . The wind was pretty rough and the sea was the same but they did an excellent job ensuring our safety and comfort.
Cheers to the crew and the sunset experience.
Would recommend to anyone .
Thank you

Twenty years ago, when I boarded, it was cramped and fully booked... The windows were small and hard to see out of, but this time I read in the reviews that the sea is clearer in the morning, so I made a reservation for the early morning. There happened to be only six of us on board... It felt like we had the place to ourselves, and my family was happy.
20年前に乗船した時は狭いし、満席で…
窓も小さくて見難かったけれど、今回は口コミを読んで朝の方が海が濁っていないとしり、朝イチで予約。
乗船したのが、たまたま6人だけで…ゆったり貸切気分で過ごせました。家族も喜んでいました。
