This trip is great for families and couples alike. I really enjoyed the fact that the crew helped us locate the whales and went in search of the best viewing spots. Highly recommended for Waikaloa Bay Beach area.

First of all, WOW. From beginning to end, this experience was one for the record books.
For $10 this crew sets you up with a wet suit (recommended), and then a snorkel set at no additional charge. Once we boarded, we were met with a warm welcome, and a good belly laugh. Excellent staff! They were informative, safe, and most importantly, knew how to have fun!
During the boat ride we were met with bottle nose dolphins and a humpback whale sighting! The dolphins were curious and playful, and swam all around our boat! I may or may not have shed a tear of joy. It was seriously rad.
Once we got to our destination they gave us a noodle for floating, and set up a large, square floatation device for everyone to hold onto while we watched the mana rays. They are huge! They’re giant, friendly, and bring their appetite for plankton. You’ll also see tons of fish while you snorkel.
After our time was up, and we boarded, they passed out cups of hot chocolate.
The entire experience as a whole was one we will never forget. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS while you’re here!
Thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime! Keep up the good work, guys! Mahalo

10時半からのWhale watching を体験。真青な海と空を楽しめればとあまり期待せずに出発。イルカたちが集まっている様子の所に出会った後、数頭のクジラに。10分以上かもっと、すぐ近くを泳いで、大ジャンプこそないものの、胸ビレやtailを見せてくれました。信じられないほどの大サービスに皆が大興奮でした。とても運が良かったです。
見る方に夢中で良い写真が撮れなかったのが残念!

Perfect family friendly glass bottom boat tour. At ~35 min, perfect length for our four-year old.
Staff very friendly, marine expert was great at pointing out the different species and interesting traits.
Tour also launches from a very nice, calm protected beach which would be worth visiting again, as the calm waters would allow even the youngest children the chance to walk and splash in the water with maybe a few small fish swimming by.

We saw pilot whales up close and the staff were so informative, helpful, and truly loving their work. I really wish that we had been able to see a humpback whale since we were there in the right season. But I have to presume that they were not able to find any that day. Guess I’ll just have to come back to Hawaii again?!

海上から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドペット、
お天気にも恵まれ最高の時間でした。
クジラは遥か遠くでしたが尾びれや潮吹きも確認できました。あとから聞いたら子供のザトウクジラだそう。ともかく気持ちの良いクルージングでした。もう少し近くでダイナミックな親クジラもみたかったです。
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。

Everything was perfect.
Lots of huge manta rays came close. Sometimes up to few feet away!!

2階建ての大きな船でした。英語ガイドです。
クジラは15頭くらい見えましたが全てかなり遠くて、ジャンプもかなり遠目に2回ほど。1月中旬に参加して、船に乗った出港直後に船長から「今がピークシーズンだ」とアナウンスがあったので期待していましたが…。相手は自然なので仕方ないですが、期待しすぎない方が良いです。大きい船だと酔いづらくて良いのですが、モーター音が大きい分クジラは警戒するようです。移動と停船を繰り返して予定より10分オーバーするまで粘ってくれました。
ガイドの男性はクジラの生態や捕鯨の歴史、絶滅しつつあったことなどを話してくれました。ずっとお話ししているためか私たちの方が早くクジラを見つけることもしばしば。クジラの知識は深まりました。
【駐車場】
困ったのは駐車場。veltraから公共駐車場は3時間以上駐車するとレッカーされる可能性があり有料駐車場を勧められました。ラハイナ中心地はは駐車場代が高く有料だ5時間20ドル、1日30ドルくらい。ラハイナ港から徒歩15分〜20分にあるアウトレットオブマウイは無料でした。とても広いので9時台のホエールウォッチングに参加する場合全く問題なく駐車できました。ラハイナの街を散策しつつ港と往復できるのでとても良かったです。私たちはアウトレットで買い物をしましたが、買い物をしなくても駐車場台は無料でした(駐車券が無く出入り自由です)。
日本語も英語もラハイナの駐車場情報が少ないのでここに記載させて頂きました。

コロナの影響か、オプショナルツアの送迎があるものが少ないなか、徒歩で集合場所に行けるという理由で選択しましたが、選んでよかったと思います。沖に出るボートも気持ちよく乗れるので、他の参加者が飛んでる間も心地よい時間でした。

We had a great afternoon on the boat. Took a seven and two year old out with us to see the whales and the captain was very accommodating to both of them. Once we got the area where the whales were we saw a couple different pairs breach multiple times and certainly didn't need binoculars to see them. On our way back to the harbor a few bottle nosed dolphins decided to swim out front of the boat and in the wake for about 10 minutes which was every bit as cool as seeing the whales.
I'd highly recommend Aloha Kona Tours.

朝一番の回を申し込みました。
潜水艦の中は寒いなどとの体験談がありましたので、上着を持っていきました。結果的には思ったほど寒くは無かったです。寒さに弱い人は持参したほうが安心です。
説明が全て英語でした。分からなかったですが、海の中は見ているだけで楽しいので、まぁ良しとします。
お魚がたくさんいて、ウミガメは見えませんでした。
お魚の種類や海底にある船とか飛行機の説明していましたがほとんどわかりませんでした。ワイキキの海底にある沈没船や魚の種類などを事前に調べておくともっと面白いかもしれません。
ダイバーも数人いて、潜水艦のなかから手をふったら「アロハ~」とサインしてくれました。
桟橋から、潜水艦までにいく船の上は風が強く、そちらの方で上着が必要です。(我慢できない寒さなら室内にいればいいですが、、)海上からワイキキビーチが一望でき、そちらも楽しいのです。
乗船前にグループ毎に写真をとり、帰りの船の上で写真購入を進められました。海の中をみた興奮もあり、値段も聞かず購入(支払いは、クレジットカードオンリーだったかな?)しました。後で明細みたら、48ドル位しました。購入後、写真ダウンロードの説明書をもらったので、ダウンロードしようと思ったら、無料ダウンロードではなく、12ドル位で購入でした^^;

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジの駐車場すぐに受付がありました。当日予約も受け付けているみたいでした。
時間になって、集合場所に行き15分ほど船に揺られてパラセーリングスポットに着きました。
普段酔わない旦那さんが、船酔いに遭うぐらいとても揺れるので酔い止め必須です。
パラセーリング自体は景色もよく、とても気持ちよかったです。
着陸前にわざと海に落とされるので絶対に濡れます(笑)大きいバスタオルも必須です!
40ドルで写真も購入しましたが、同じ写真ばかりだったので買わなくてもいいかなぁと思いました。

今回の旅のメインイベント、ドルフィン・エンカウンター。子ども達がずっと楽しみにしていたアクティビティでした。が、当日はあいにくの雨。肌寒いくらいの天気でしたが、プールの中でイルカと触れ合えた時間は本当に何よりの宝物になったようです。大人もテンションが上がる体験で、時間いっぱいイルカと文字通り触れ合えて、遊ぶことができました。近くに行ってもちょっと触れるくらいか、写真撮っておしまい?くらいの気持ちでいたので、じっくり触れて一緒に芸をやったりと、本当に楽しめました。天気は残念だったけど、それでも最高!と言えるくらい楽しめるアクティビティでした。ありがとうございました。

新婚旅行の思い出作りで利用しました。
土曜のお昼でしたが、3日前でも無事予約が取れました。
立地がワイキキビーチに直結したところにあり、ホテルから直接水着を着てそのまま帰れる立地の良さも良いです。
乗り合わせが3組と少なかったからか、待ち時間も短く感じました。他の方が言っていたように乗り物酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めを飲んでおくと良いと思いましたが、私は酔うことなく終われました。
飛行時間も思っていたより長くあったように感じます。
写真代は値上げしたのか$40でしたので、購入を考えている際はお気をつけください。
英語はわからなかったのですが、盛り上げ上手のスタッフさんのおかげで最高の思い出ができました!
