This tour was really good, the tour guides were full of humour and fun stories to tell, the vehicles were comfortable and the tours well done. (Would've like just a -little- more time in some of the places (not a lot, just 2-3 more minutes maybe)).
But I would definitely recommend this full day tour to anyone, there's something for everyone at Kualoa Ranch.
VELTRA deserves praise too, I got a voucher from a friend and had trouble redeeming it, contacted VELTRA on Facebook and was told I had to call to book the tour and they would add my voucher. As I didn't have a working phone available they managed to transform the voucher into points and add them to my VELTRA account. I was then free to use it for this booking. Thank you for making it so easy for me :-)

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

After checking in at the pickup location, we received a paper with the schedule and order of today's activities, along with colored tape wrapped around our wrists. It seems there were many participants that day, as we took two buses. As we drove along the coast towards the North Shore for about 70 minutes, we could see pastures on the left, and soon we spotted the sign for Kualoa Ranch. In the pastures, there were cows, cows, and more cows, along with a cowboy on horseback, which heightened our excitement.
We were welcomed by staff playing the ukulele in front of the guest center and received explanations about the meeting points for each activity. After that, everyone participated in their chosen course. The meal was a simple buffet, and later the staff informed us that the chicken and pork were raised on the ranch. It seems that popular courses like horseback riding and the ATV tour fill up quickly, so it's best to make reservations early. If the weather isn't good (you'll need a change of clothes if it rains), the value of the experience diminishes a bit.
If you want to visit the filming locations, you need to join the movie set tour to see everything. Reviews mention that you can see some parts from the ATV and horseback riding, but we only caught glimpses. The movie set tour provides thorough explanations, and there are tours available in Japanese as well. At the Jurassic Park filming location, we got off the bus to take photos, and the staff helped take pictures with everyone's smartphones.
One downside is that while the restrooms are large, there are only two of them, so if you don't use them during the free time between tours (which is scheduled for 15 minutes), it can become quite a hassle. Be cautious!

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.
From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.

We participated in a sunset dinner cruise for our honeymoon. The sunset was beautiful, and we were able to take great photos! The main lobster was also very delicious! The staff were cheerful, and at the end of the show, the group dance was a lot of fun and created a lively atmosphere! However, the boat swayed more than I expected, so I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to have some medication beforehand. We were able to create wonderful memories, so I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!
I want to see it again!

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.
The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.
Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.
The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.
The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

The sunset and night view were amazing. There was a shuttle service to the hotel, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind. However, by the time I went up to the rooftop to see the sunset, the all-you-can-eat crab had already ended, which was a bit disappointing. There was no explanation provided at all, and I understood things by eavesdropping on the conversations of other tour guides. I think I would have been very satisfied if there had been a bit more detailed information available. The steak was also tender and delicious.

Four years ago, during stargazing at the summit of Mauna Kea, I was able to see the summit of Haleakalā, and this time I participated in the long-awaited tour. The itinerary was easier than Mauna Kea, and I was able to see the stars beautifully. I am grateful for the meticulous planning by our guide, Yamapi. While the grandeur of the summit cannot compare to Mauna Kea, you can see the shadow of the Earth beautifully at Haleakalā. Maui has diverse nature with mountains, waterfalls, and dry areas, which was fantastic. There were hardly any chatty Chinese or Koreans (including Japanese tourists).

Maui's summit takes about three and a half hours to reach, with an age restriction of 65 years and older, and those under 12 are not allowed. However, there may not be another mountain at an elevation of 3,000 meters that can be accessed by car without age restrictions, although there is a limit on the number of people. Please do come back to Maui again.
マウイケアーは頂上までやく3時間半かかり年齢制限が65歳以上、と12歳以下は入れないので、約1時間半で人数制限はありますが、年齢制限が無く車であがれる3000メートル系の山は他に無いかもしれませんね。是非またマウイにお越しになってください。

I had never been to Hawaii during whale watching season before, and this was my first attempt at whale watching. I boarded the boat with high expectations, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales... tears. The morning boat ride was pleasant with the sea breeze, but it's still disappointing not to see anything. We were returning home the next day, so we didn't use it, but I heard that if you don't see any whales, you can receive a free boarding ticket. (Transportation to the boat is separate.) I thought it was nice that they have such care in place.

I wanted to see a hula dance show and the night view from Tantalus, and at first, I was looking for separate plans for each. However, with this plan, I realized that if I added an option, I could see both at once, which saved time and seemed great. The portion size of the meal was good, even for women, and my companion, who couldn't eat lobster, was able to change to a fish dish, so they could participate. One issue I had was not knowing when or to whom to give the tip, and as a result, I missed the opportunity to give it. I think if they explained the amount and how to give tips, even Japanese people would be willing to pay, so it would be less stressful if they provided that explanation without hesitation.
Also, the commemorative photo was included from the beginning, but the photo itself was just a close-up of faces, which was not very interesting, and I felt it was unnecessary. It came in a nice frame, but it was just a nuisance, so I think a simpler frame would be better. Instead, it would be nice if they included some scenic photos as a bonus.
フラダンスショーとタンタラスの丘の夜景を見に行きたくて、最初はそれぞれを別々のプランで探していましたが、こちらのプランではオプションを付ければその両方を一度に見られるので、時間の節約にもなり良いと思いました。食事の量が女性でも食べきれる量で良かったです。ロブスターを食べられない連れも魚料理に変更してもらえたので参加出来ました。困った点はチップを誰にどのタイミングで渡せば良いか分からず、結果渡しそびれてしまいました。チップの額や渡し方は説明してくれたら日本人でも払うと思うので、遠慮せず説明してくれた方がストレスフリーで良いと思います。
あと、記念写真が初めから付いていましたが、写真自体はただの顔のアップ写真なので面白味がなく、あの写真なら要らないと思いました。立派な台紙に入っていましたが、邪魔なだけなので、もっと簡易な台紙で良いと思います。その代わり景色の写真をおまけで付けてくれた方が良いと思います。

At the parking lot a little below the summit, we set up chairs to enjoy the starry sky. It was a rare clear night, and I was deeply moved by the breathtaking view of the star-filled sky. However, the last segment of the mountain peak performance was a bit lengthy; while some people were thrilled, others who wanted to head home might have had mixed feelings about it.
山頂から少し下った駐車場で、椅子をセットして貰っての星空観賞。久しぶりの晴天との事で、隙間が無いくらいの満天の星空に大感動。ただ最後の山ピー節は少々長く、感激している人もいるが早く帰りたい人も居るので少々評価が分かれるかも。
I apologize for the inconvenience. I realize that just explaining the stars may not be enough, and I have so much to share that I tend to go on for too long.
ご迷惑をお掛け致しました。。星の説明だけだと物足りない事もあり伝えたいことがあり過ぎてついつい話が長くなってしまい申し訳ありません。

For my first trip to Hawaii, I thought this would be a great choice. As we approached the departure time, dishes were being served one after another. A male staff member asked us if we wanted alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks. My husband ordered a beer, and I ordered orange juice. However, I didn't realize that a Mai Tai was included in the course. I should have asked whether the Mai Tai was alcoholic or non-alcoholic! There was a communication breakdown. In the cold interior of the boat, we had two glasses in front of us. I couldn't drink it! Please be careful, everyone!
初ハワイにはやっぱりコレかなと参加しました。
出発時間頃に次つぎとお料理が運ばれてきました。係の男性にアルコール?ノンアルコール?
ときかれ、何か飲みもの頼まないといけないんだと、主人はビール、私はオレンジジュースを注文。 だけど、、、コースにマイタイが
付いていたのです、、知らなかった。
マイタイがアルコール入りか、ノンアルコールか聞いていたんですね!意思疎通ができていませんでした。寒い船内で私達の前にはグラスが、
2個ずつ、。飲めないよ〜。
皆様お気をつけくださいね!

My partner and I didn't expect Kualoa to be this big and organised. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We enjoyed beautiful nature of Hawaii and visiting the places where Hollywood movies were filmed. Highly recommend.

We went for dinner on our honeymoon. We chose the all-you-can-eat crab course. It was very filling. This was my second time participating, and the crab was tastier than last time.
新婚旅行のディナーで行きました。カニ食べ放題のコースにしました。ボリューム満点でした。2回目の参加だったのですが、カニが前回より美味しかったです。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cruise. We hope to welcome you aboard again during your next visit to Hawaii, and our entire staff will continue to strive for improvement. Thank you very much.

Four years ago, when I took the cruise with a five-star rating, I was impressed by all the food, so I chose the same course again. However, from the welcome champagne, everything was disappointing. The drinks and meals on board were not tasty, and the ship was aging. I was let down by the constant announcements promoting the cruise. They didn't even inform us about the timing of the sunset, and overall, there was a lack of explanation; everything was just bad. It's unfortunate that even though the ship is old, they haven't maintained proper cleanliness. I probably won't take this tour again.
4年前に5スターで乗った時、料理も全て感動したので、また同じコースで乗りました。
ウェルカムシャンパンから全くだめで、船内の飲み物、お食事も美味しくなく、船も老朽化で、ひたすらクルージングの宣伝をお願いしますのアナウンスのみでがっかりすぎました。
夕日が沈むタイミングも教えてくれず、全体的に説明も足りず、何もかもだめでした。
船が古くなっても清掃をきちんとできてないのが残念です。
もうこのツアーは乗ることはないでしょう。

The dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu was very good. The sunset from the boat was beautiful, and there were events on board that involved passenger participation, which made it quite satisfying overall. There's a perception that food and drink costs are high in Hawaii, but considering that, the price for the cruise might feel like a good deal. If I have the chance to go again, I would be happy to board again. It's a bit away from Waikiki, and you can choose a paid pickup option to your hotel.
スターオブホノルル号でのディナークルーズはとても良かった。
船上からの夕日はキレイだったのと、船内では乗客参加もあるイベントなどがあって、内容的には満足の行くレベルだった。
ハワイでは飲食代が高いイメージがあるが、それを踏まえたらクルーズ付きであの価格ならばお得感はあるかもしれない。
次回行くことがあったら再度乗船しても良さそう。
ワイキキから少し離れていて、オプション設定でホテルへの有料ピックアップも選択出来る。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sunset. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

We enjoyed the Waimea Canyon Tour. The coach driver was friendly, funny, and informative.
The Wailua River Cruise was disappointing and boring. The driver of the boat had no enthusiasm in his voice and the visuals of the river were unimpressive. Since you can no longer enter the Fern Grotto cave, this stop is no longer amazing as it used to be.

Aloha!
We had an amazing flight enjoying overwhelming views of the island, amongst others the North Shore, beaches, mountains, volcanos, Waikiki, Pearl Harbour and a waterfall. Our very experienced pilot Miguel explained everything in detail and provided a lot of insight.
This was a once-in-a-liftetime experience, which we do not want to miss, and the highlight of our O'ahu holidays.
Mahalo!
