The boat sways quite a bit, so at first, it's hard to walk, but during meal times, we anchor offshore, so you can relax. Moreover, at that time, a manta ray and many dolphins gathered around. I think they must have liked the singing. I can't remember the name, but there was a singer with the most beautiful voice singing live the whole time, and songs that felt very Hawaiian, which was truly soothing.
There was also a vegan menu, and the buffet was satisfying.
Most of the participants were from the mainland United States, and they were drinking and making a lot of noise, so even when I was trying to talk about history and the land, I couldn't hear it next to me. But overall, it was the best cruising experience. If you can't speak English, it might feel long and confusing as you won't know what's happening.
It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but it was still a beautiful view. People who participated in the previous trip said they didn't encounter anything, so we were really lucky on our trip.
船はかなり揺れるので、最初は歩くのもやっとだけど、食事のときは沖で停泊するので落ち着いていただけます。しかも、この時、マンタが1匹と、イルカもたくさん集まってきました。きっと、歌声が好きだったんじゃないかと思いますお名前は覚えていないけど、最高に美しい声の歌手がずっと生歌を歌っていて、ハワイっぽい曲とか、本当に癒されました。
Veganメニューもあって、ビュッフェも満足でした。
参加者がほぼアメリカ本土から来た人たちばかりで、お酒飲んで大騒ぎするので、せっかく歴史や土地の話をしているのが隣に行っても聞こえないくらいだったけど、とにかく最高のcruisingでした。英語ができないと、何が起こってるか分らなく長く感じるかもしれないけど。
あとは、夕日が少し雲に隠れてしまったのが残念だけど、それでも美しい景色でした。前の便に参加した人たちは、何も出会えなかったそうで、私たちの便は本当に幸運に恵まれました。

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.
For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).
I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.
The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!
港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした(酔い止め薬は必須かと思います)
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見!30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです!

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.

We participated as a couple on January 19th. Our guide, Jin, was very friendly and knowledgeable. After being picked up from the hotel, we took a break and had dinner around 4:00 PM at the foot of the mountain (outdoors). The weather was relatively nice, but it felt a bit cold at that point.
The road to the summit was not well maintained, and the car shook quite a bit. It’s better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. After arriving at the summit, we took photos while watching the sunset. I participated wearing Heattech, a T-shirt, a windbreaker, and long pants, and I borrowed a down jacket and pants, which made the temperature feel just right. However, my feet got quite cold. I only wore one pair of socks, and my toes started to hurt. I regretted not wearing two pairs of socks... (Having foot warmers would have been even better.)
Around 7 PM, we did some stargazing. The night sky was overwhelmingly beautiful compared to what I’ve seen in Japan. The explanations about the stars were very detailed, and even as adults, we were satisfied with the content. After that, we descended and were taken back to the hotel after 10 PM. It was a wonderful tour that allowed us to learn more about Hawaii.

アテンドしてくれる仁さんはとってもフレンドリーで物知りな素敵な方でした。
ホテルピックアップ後に休憩を挟み、16:00頃に山の麓(屋外)での夕食を取りました。比較的良いお天気でしたがこの時点で少し寒さを感じました。
その後、山頂までの道は補装されておらずかなり車が揺れます。

山頂に到着後はサンセットを見ながら撮影しました。
当方、ヒートテック・Tシャツ・ウィンドブレーカー・長ズボン1枚で参加し、ダウン・ズボンをお借りし体感温度は丁度良かったです。
しかし、足元がかなり冷えます。靴下1枚だけしか履いておらず指先が痛くなりました。靴下2枚履いてくれば良かった。。。と反省。(足元カイロがあれば尚よしと言った感じです)
そして19時頃天体観測をしました。
日本で見る星空よりも圧倒的な綺麗さでした。
かなり詳しく星の説明をしてくださり、大人の私達でも満足できるような内容でした。
その後下山し22時過ぎにホテルへ送っていただきました。

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 hotel pickup, we took a break for altitude acclimatization twice, and everyone in the car was in perfect condition. The explanations about the Big Island during the journey included basic information as well as insights that only locals would know, which broadened our perspective for the rest of the itinerary and made it interesting. The lunch at the Onizuka Visitor Center was described as "normal taste for those coming from Japan," but I actually thought it was tastier than the bento I bought yesterday! The highlight was that there was almost no wind, and under the new moon, we got to see an incredibly bright starry sky that exceeded our expectations! If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would definitely want to join this tour once more.
ホテルのお迎えから、二回の高地順応を兼ねての休憩を入れてもらい、車中のメンバー全員が体調万全で行くことができました。
道中のハワイ島の説明も基本情報から、地元の方達しかしらない情報まで話してくださり、ツアー後の日程でも見る視点が広がり面白かったです。
オニツカビジターセンターでのお弁当も「日本からこられた方には普通~の味ですが・・・」と言われてましたが、逆に(昨日、購入したお弁当より美味しいなw)と思える味!
一番は風もほとんどなく、新月の中で、想像以上の明るい星空を見れて最高でした!またハワイ島に行くことがあれば、もう一度行きたいと思うツアーでした。

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.

My first trip to the Big Island was with my husband, and since we rented a car, we initially thought about going on our own, but I'm so glad we chose a tour instead!!
There are many unpaved roads leading to the summit, making it dangerous for regular passenger cars (it seems the rental car insurance doesn't cover it...), and vehicle access is restricted, so the time to leisurely watch the starry sky is limited to the tour only.
So, we went on the tour with about 10 other people, and our guide, Tomo, was very entertaining and informative! We also had a great time with everyone else, making it a wonderful memory for us, who usually travel just the two of us!
At the summit, we were able to witness a breathtaking sunset, and after the sun went down, the sky was filled with an incredible number of stars!! The explanations about the stars were also very interesting, and I think I’ll start studying astronomy from now on!!
What I especially appreciated about this tour was that the photos taken with a professional DSLR camera are available for free download!!! They took beautiful pictures of the starry sky and sunset that you can't capture with an iPhone, in various locations! It became a great memory!
Also, they provide warm clothing, so it doesn't add to your luggage! The summit is very cold, and it was a relief to borrow a proper down jacket and pants!
I highly recommend this tour when visiting the Big Island!!!
初めてのハワイ島旅行は主人とレンタカーを借りていたので、当初は自分たちで行こうかと思っていたのですが、ツアーにして本当に良かったです!!
山頂までは舗装されていない道が多い為通常の乗用車では危険(レンタカーの保険に適用されないそう・・・)、かつ車両を規制されているそうで、星空をのんびり見る時間はツアーのみに限られているそうです。
そんなわけで約10名の皆様でツアーを回ったのですが、スタッフのともさんのお話はとても面白く情報量も豊か!そして一緒に回った皆様とも楽しく過ごせ、2人だけで旅行してきた私たちにとても素敵な思い出となりました!
山頂では感動のサンセットを見ることが出来、日が沈んでからは圧巻の満点の星空!!こちらも星の解説がとても面白く、これからは星を勉強してみようと思います!!
特にこのツアーでありがたかったのは、
本格的な一眼カメラで撮影して頂いた写真がなんと無料でダウンロードできる点!!!iPhone では撮れない素敵な星空や夕焼けの写真を、いろんなところで撮影してくれます!いい思い出になりました!
そして防寒具を貸して頂けるので荷物にならない!
山頂はとても寒く、本格的なダウンとパンツをお借りでき助かります!
ハワイ島に行く際には是非おすすめのツアーです!!!

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.

Thanks to our guide, Yamapi, who continues to guide here in Maui while thinking of his family in Japan, I was able to have this invaluable experience and meet such a wonderful guide. I want to return to this island again and again!
ここにしかない景色に、風に、光に包まれたくて戻ってきましたマウイ島!加えて、ガイドのヤマピーさんに会うために!惚れ込んだハレアカラ山も、星空もより一層力強さと温かさと輝きを増して感じました。ガイドのヤマピーさんにおかれては、日本のご家族を想いながらも、こうしてマウイ島でガイドを続けて下さるからこそ、私はこうしてかけがえのない経験と素晴らしいガイドさんに出会うことが出来ました。何度でも、戻ってきたいこの島へ!
Thank you for your warm comments. I believe everyone comes to this island with various thoughts, but I would be happy if you could look up at the stars of Haleakalā, find peace in your heart, and return home with renewed hope. I look forward to our next reunion!
心が温かくなるコメントを有難うございます。皆さんが色々な想いを持ってこの島にいらっしゃると思いますが、ハレアカラの星空を見上げて
心安らぎまたの希望をもって帰国されたら嬉しいです。次の再会を楽しみにしております!

The overall experience was excellent, the people were friendly and the food was great, better than expected and they really fill you up with crab legs. Dislikes were bathroom locations being unclear and during fireworks people are everywhere to see the fireworks on one side of the boat and they smoke cigs in your face at the very top deck, gross.

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).
4年前にマウナケア山頂で星空観賞の時に、ハレアカラ山頂を見ることができ、今回念願のツアーに参加しました。行程はマウナケアより楽で、星空も綺麗に見ることができました。案内人の山ピーのち密な計画のおかげと感謝しております。山頂の雄大さはマウナケアには負けますが、地球の影がハレアカラは綺麗に見ることができます。マウイ島は山あり滝あり乾燥地ありと多様な自然があり最高でした。おしゃべり中国人、韓国人は、ほとんどいません。(日本人観光客も)
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.
これまでクジラが見られる時期にハワイにきたことがなく、ホエールウォッチング初挑戦でした。期待を膨らませて船に乗りましたが、残念ながらクジラを見ることはできませんでした…涙
早朝の船で海風も心地よかったのですがやっぱり見れないと残念ですよね。
私達は翌日帰国だったので使いませんでしたが、見れなかった場合は無料乗船券を貰えるそうです。(船までの送迎は別途必要)そういったケアがあるところはいいなと思いました。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that the whales did not appear. We also regret that you were unable to use the complimentary boarding pass at a good time during your trip. Our entire staff feels saddened that we could not meet your expectations this time. We hope you will have the opportunity to try again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はスターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうございます。クジラが姿を現さず、本当に残念です。ご旅行の方は、なかなか良いタイミングで無料乗船券がご利用できず、申し訳なく感じております。今回は、ご期待に沿えずにスタッフ一同心を痛めております。また、ハワイにお越しの際に再チャレンジしていただけることを願っております。

The wait time wasn't too long, and I was able to get in the car. Since we stopped at the hotel of another traveler sharing the ride, it took a bit longer, but it was within a reasonable range. I think I will use this service again during my trip to Hawaii. It's also a big plus that my 2-year-old son doesn't incur any charges!
待ち時間もそんなに長くなくクルマに乗れた。相乗りの旅行者のホテルに寄るので、多少は時間はかかるものの許容範囲。また、ハワイ旅行の際は利用すると思う。2歳の息子の料金がかからないのもポイント高い!

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see many breathtaking views. The guide's stories were interesting, and we enjoyed our time on the bus. At the summit of Mauna Kea, we saw incredibly beautiful scenery and took wonderful photos, creating great memories. The stargazing was also enhanced by the guide's easy-to-understand explanations. The photos taken with the starry sky in the background turned out beautifully. Later, we were able to download the photos for free, making it truly the best memory. Thank you very much!
お天気にも恵まれ、たくさんの感動の景色を見ることができました。
ガイドさんのお話もおもしろく、車内の時間も楽しむことが出来ました。
マウナケア山頂では、とても綺麗な景色を見て素敵な写真を撮っていただき、いい思い出になりました。
星空観測もガイドさんの解説がとても分かりやすかったです。星空をバックに撮ってもらった写真も素敵な一枚になりました。
後日、写真は無料でダウンロードすることができ本当に最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました

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。

It was perfect for passing the time before checking into the hotel after stopping by Ala Moana from the airport. There is also a place to store luggage, and a waiting area until the shuttle arrives, which is very convenient.
空港からアラモアナに寄り、ホテルチェックインまでの時間潰しに最適でした。荷物を預けるところも備わっており、送迎車到着までの待機スペースもあって便利です。
