Have our own private table and food was good. Have freedom to go topside and had our dinner for the fire works. Second time doing this and would do it again.

Most important to me!

1. Always reliable
2. Very knowledgeable and courteous personnel
3. Always willing to assist those in need

This was a very enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Getting to see whales was the icing on the top of a scenic and informative trip.

All of the staff on the boat, from the Captain to the servers were all very nice, accommodating and service minded. Joshua did a great job answering questions and adding nuggets of knowledge about the trip. The ship was in great condition and prepared for the cruise, and it made for a very relaxing and comfortable voyage.

Unfortunately, we didn’t see any whales on this tour, but as a fisherman, I understand the difference between fishing and catching, and sometimes the fish just aren’t cooperating and ya just need to relax and enjoy the beauty. But, the most important thing is, as Larry Fleet says in the song “Where I Find God”, “you can’t find Peace Like this in a bottle or a pill”.

I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, and if we see a whale, that would just be lagniappe!

Ashlyn was a great tour guide! Pointed out many animals and very knowledgeable and so funny!

First of all, I was worried because I can't speak English, but as soon as I arrived at the airport, the English-speaking guide approached me, which made me feel at ease. They took us around Kauai Island in a large bus. There were so many highlights, and everything was moving. Perhaps because we were able to share such wonderful views, by the time we were leaving, I had become friends with everyone, and it was sad to say goodbye. This is a tour where you can have a great time even if you're traveling alone!

まず、英語が話せないので英語ガイドさんは不安でしたが空港に着いたらすぐに声をかけてくださって安心しました。大きなバスでカウアイ島を案内してくださいます。
見どころたっぷりで全部が感動でした。
ステキな景色を共有できた為か
帰る頃には、皆さんと仲良くなりお別れが残念でした。
ひとり旅でも楽しく過ごせるツアーです♪

The wait time for the meal before it started was long, and the show was somewhat disappointing, but the main event, the rock and roll show, was fantastic.

始まるまでの食事時間が長く、ショーがいまいちでしたが、本番の、ロックフラショーは、素晴らしかったです

Authentic and warm. Food was also excellent. Location was great

I had previously used the Star of Honolulu for the sunset dinner cruise, but this was my first time participating in another activity. I was able to see whales from a distance. Even if you don't understand English, they provide simple explanations like "at 3 o'clock," so there's not much to worry about.

From the boat, I could enjoy the urban skyline of Waikiki alongside the natural beauty of Diamond Head, which truly felt like a Hawaiian landscape. The light snacks, like pineapple banana bread and Kona coffee, were delicious, making this activity enjoyable both as a whale watching experience and simply as a cruise.

スターオブホノルルはサンセットディナークルーズで利用したことはありましたが、それ以外のアクティビティで参加するのは初めてでした。
クジラは少し遠目からですが見ることができました。英語がわからなくても◯時の方向と簡潔に説明してくれるのであまり心配はありません。
船上から見るワイキキの都会的なビル群とダイヤモンドヘッドの大きな自然の部分がハワイらしい景色を感じることができました。
軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドやコナコーヒーもおいしく、ホエールウォッチングの体験としても、シンプルにクルーズ体験としてもとても楽しめたアクティビティでした。

The drinks were delicious, and I was able to enjoy local dishes like Kalua pig, along with an impressive show. The music and the dance were all wonderful. Since I watched it at Sunset Beach, I can't forget that sunset. If I have the chance to come again, I will definitely watch it one more time.

お酒も美味しく、お料理もカルアピックなど郷土料理も堪能できら上に圧巻のショー。曲も踊りも全てが素敵でした。サンセットビーチで観れたのであの夕焼けが忘れられません。また来る機会があったら、絶対もう一回観ます。

We participated as a family of six, including our young children. On the way to the sandbar, we spotted a few honu (sea turtles) here and there. We were able to see a heart-shaped reef, and it was a pleasant cruise while enjoying snacks and drinks on board.

After arriving at the sandbar, we split into two groups (maybe depending on the number of participants?), and we alternated between snorkeling tours and activities in two sessions. I thought snorkeling would be just one of the activities, but it felt more like a full tour, so it seemed challenging for those who aren't good swimmers. However, our children, who are not yet confident swimmers, borrowed bodyboards with windows to peek underwater and participated while being pushed by their parents, so they could enjoy it too. We saw many honu here as well.

The activities included canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and floating rings, among others, which was great to experience. Unfortunately, due to our travel schedule, we were there during a neap tide, but we chose a plan that coincided with low tide, so the water level was just knee to thigh deep, which was perfect for paddleboarding and canoeing!

At first, I thought the participation fee was a bit high, but it turned out to be a very satisfying day with the rare experience of seeing many honu.

子供(未就学児)と両親を含め家族6人で参加しました。
サンドバーに向かう最中からホヌ(ウミガメ)がチラホラ。ハート型のリーフも見る事ができ、船上でお菓子や飲み物を楽しみながらの気持ち良いクルージングでした。
サンドバー到着後は、2つのグループに別れ(参加人数にもよるのかな？)、前後半でシュノーケリングツアーとアクティビティを交代してやる感じでした。シュノーケリングはアクティビティの中の一つかと思いきや、ガッツリとツアーのような感じで泳ぐので、泳ぎが苦手な方は大変そうでした。でも、まだ泳ぎも得意とは言えない我が家の子供達は、最初からシュノーケルは使わず、水中を覗ける窓付きのボディボード(?)を借りて、それを親が押しながら参加出来たので、子供でも楽しめました。ここでもホヌが沢山見れました。
アクティビティはカヌーやサップ、浮き輪などなど、、色々体験出来て良かったです。
今回、旅程の関係で残念ながら小潮の時期でしたが、干潮の時間にツアーが重なる日とプランを選んだので、水位は膝〜もも位の深さで、サップやカヌーをやるにはちょうど良かったです！
最初は参加費が高いかなぁと思いましたが、たくさんのホヌに会える貴重な体験も出来て、大満足な1日になりました。

The show was entertaining and the Chief is so funny!!!

During the holiday season, Christmas songs played inside the illumination bus, and the entire group of passengers got excited. The venue was sparkling, and it became a very good memory.

ホリデーシーズン限定で、イルミネーションバスの中もクリスマスソングが流れ、乗客全体で盛り上がりました。会場もキラキラで、とても良い思い出になりました。

The performance was so surprising that I couldn't help but exclaim, and the time flew by. There were various scenes, and I was never bored watching it. It's comfortable even in the rain, so I recommend it even if you're worried about the weather!

思わず声を上げてしまうような驚きのパフォーマンスが終始続き、あっという間の時間でした。
様々なシーンがあって、見ていて全く飽きないです。雨でも快適に過ごせるので天気が心配な場合でもおすすめします！

The weather was wonderful, and I was lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, and turtles. Our guide Yuji, along with Nora and Captain Warren, were all very kind and made the experience enjoyable. During snorkeling, I was able to see several green sea turtles. I was worried about seasickness, but I took some motion sickness medication beforehand, so I didn't have any major issues.

お天気にも恵まれ、幸運にもクジラ·イルカ·カメの全てを観ることができました。
ガイドのYUJIさんをはじめ、ノラさん、ウォーレン船長も皆さん親切で楽しめました。シュノーケルでも、アオウミガメも数匹見られました。船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めを飲んで行ったので特に問題なかったです。

My Sister and Niece have never been to Hawaii. I wanted to ensure their visit started wonderfully, so I ordered leis for them, plus another friend traveling with us. A very nice and friendly man was waiting for us as we entered baggage claim. He presented the beautiful leis as well as given us directions to the baggage claim for our flight and where to go to get our rental car shuttle. The leis did get the trip off to a wonderful start.

The breathtaking views and the exhilarating experience of racing through the mountain trails on a buggy were amazing! The price is high, so I hesitated quite a bit when making the reservation, but it was worth every penny!

圧巻の絶景と、バギーでスリリングに山道を走り抜ける爽快さが最高でした！
料金が高いので、予約時にかなり踏ん張りましたが、それ以上の価値があります！

I felt reassured because there were staff members who could speak Japanese and provided explanations.
As it was February, the water temperature was low and it was cold.
While snorkeling, there were many large sea turtles resting on the coral and swimming gracefully.

The water level was about knee-deep.

The bus guide kindly stopped by a famous malasada shop on the way back, making it a very satisfying tour.

日本語が話せるスタッフさんがいて説明してくださるので安心でした。
2月とだけあって水温は低めで寒かったです。
シュノーケルは大きなウミガメが沢山いて珊瑚でおやすみやら優雅に泳いでいました。

水位は膝下くらいまでありました。

バスガイドさんが　帰りに有名なマラサダ屋に立ち寄ってくださり大変満足したツアーでした。

It was the best. The scenery, the air, and driving the buggy were all amazing. The time spent was even more fulfilling than I expected, and the cost performance was top-notch! I definitely want to do it again.

さいこーでした。
景色、空気、バギーを運転しながら突き進む。時間も思っていた以上に充実していて、コスパも最強！
また是非やりたいと思います。

I thought I was good with heights, but when I got to the top, I felt a thrill; the view was so beautiful that it felt like I was flying!

高いところが得意だと思っていましたが、上まで行くとドキドキしました、そのくらい景色が綺麗に見えて飛んでる気持ちはなります！

We had a great time! The entertainment was a nice touch.

I had a great time experiencing parasailing for the first time! The boat ride was thrilling and enjoyable as well.

The instructions were mostly in English, and there was a staff member who spoke a little Japanese. They asked if I wanted to take photos, and when I chose to do so, they took pictures while I was parasailing. Afterward, I could view the photos and purchase them for $40. They are sent directly to your smartphone, so you won't receive printed copies.

I felt that the higher you go, the more it sways, which was a bit scary. Also, while moving by boat, you have to wait for others who are parasailing, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness.

初めてのパラセーリングを体験できて、楽しかったです！ボートの移動もスリルがあり楽しめました。
基本全て英語の案内です。少しだけ日本語を話すスタッフがいました。写真を撮るか撮らないか聞かれ、撮るを選択するとパラセーリング中に写真を撮ってくれて、内容を見てから40ドルで購入することができます。スマホに直接送られるので、印刷したものは貰えません。高くなればなるほど、揺れがあり少し怖いと思いました。またボートで移動して、他の方がパラセーリングしているのはボートで待つことになるので酔ってしまう方はオススメしません。

We participated with four adults and a 0-year-old and a 3-year-old, bringing a foldable stroller. The elevator was available, so moving to the deck was not an issue, but we couldn't change diapers (we used the stroller to do that). The stroller was necessary for our subsequent plans, but we could leave our belongings at the table we were initially guided to, so it was great that it didn't get in the way while watching the whales.

I thought seeing the whales was completely a matter of luck, but in February, we were fortunate to see them! Two whales happened to swim back and forth quite close to the surface multiple times, allowing us to capture them with our eyes, not just on video or in photos, which was lucky! The captain announced in English, "They're at 10 o'clock!" or "Look to the 9 o'clock direction!" and we moved based on that and hints from those around us. There was one person who could speak a little Japanese, so for those who are not confident in English, it might be a good idea to stick with that person. By the way, my family also saw dolphins and turtles… I'm envious!

The guides on the way there and back were English speakers and very cheerful. Especially on the way back, they were flexible, changing our drop-off point and accepting requests for unexpected stops. Since the tour ended before noon, I was thinking about going to Ala Moana Shopping Center afterward, but I was unsure how to get there. However, I learned that it was possible to get off the bus along the way, which I wanted to take advantage of, but due to various circumstances, we ended up getting off at our hotel.

I want to come back again when the kids are older!

0歳3歳大人4人、折り畳めるベビーカー持参で参加しました。エレベーター完備なので、デッキへの移動は問題ないのですが、おむつ替えは出来ませんでした(ベビーカーを使って換えました)。その後の予定のために必要だったベビーカーですが、最初に案内されるテーブルに荷物を置いて行けるので、鯨を観る時には邪魔にならず良かったです。

鯨は完全に運だとは思いましたが、流石に2月！しっかり会えました。たまたま2頭が結構近くの海面を何度も行ったり来たりしてくれたお陰で、ビデオや写真だけに追われず肉眼でも捉える事ができて、ラッキーでした！船長さんが、10時にいるよ！とか9時方向だ！とか英語でアナウンスしてくれるのと、周りの人をヒントに移動しました。お一人、日本語が少し話せる方もいたので、英語苦手な方はその方にくっついていくのもありかもです。
ちなみに、私の家族はイルカとカメも見たとの事…羨ましい

行き帰りは英語のガイドさん。行きも帰りも、陽気な方達でした。特に帰りは、降りる場所を変更してくれたり、予定外の停車場所もリクエスト受け付けてくれたりと、臨機応変に対応していました。ツアーが昼前に終わるので、その後はアラモアナショッピングセンターでと考えていましたが、どうやって行くか悩んでいました。でも、バスの途中下車が可能との事でこちらを上手く活用…したかったのですが、色々あって結局自分達のホテルで降りました。

子供が大きくなったらまた来てあげたいです！

Snorkeling at the coral reef was amazing; I saw a lot of sea turtles and was able to swim right next to them. I was a bit nervous about snorkeling during the pre-briefing, but the time spent was not too long, and we all swam together, so even someone like me, who isn't very confident in swimming, had no problems. It was great that there were plenty of rice balls, snacks, and drinks prepared on the boat.

サンゴ礁のところでのシュノーケリングはウミガメがたくさん見れましたし、すぐ近くで泳ぐこともできました。シュノーケリングは事前説明で少しビビッていましたが、時間もそれほど長くなく、結構皆さんで固まって泳いでいったので、泳ぎにあまり自信がない私でも問題なかったです。船でのおにぎりやお菓子、飲み物など十分用意されていて良かったです。

I arrived at the meeting time, but I had to wait there for about 30 minutes. I wasn't expecting much from the meal, but it was tastier than I thought. The luau was impressive and enjoyable.

集合時間に行ったが、そこで30分ほど待たされた。食事はあまり期待していなかったけれど、思ったより美味しく食べられた、ルアウは迫力ががあって良かった。

I was seated in the back, but it was not a problem. It was very impressive and became a memorable experience in Hawaii. Compared to Las Vegas, it is smaller in scale, but it was good. I also thought that I would like to go see it with my family next time.

後方の座席でしたが、問題ありませんでした。
とても見ごたえがあり、ハワイの思い出になりました。
ラスベガスのと比べると規模が小さいですが、良かったです。
又、次回は家族で見に行きたいと思いました。

I have watched several Cirque du Soleil shows, but the Hawaiian-themed performance, which is a bit different from the usual Cirque du Soleil shows, really enhanced the vacation vibe and provided a satisfying 90 minutes.

今までいつくものシルクドソレイユのショーを観ていますが、これまでのシルクドソレイユのショートとは少し異なるハワイらしい演出は、とてもバケーション感覚を盛り上げてくれ、満足いく90分でした。

Guides were great. Reese & ?? brought vast knowledge of the geography and culture not to mention the history of Oahu. Lot of fun, ATV ran great. No surprises at all. The only thing that they might improve on is the check in process. I realize that being a Saturday, it would be busy, but there was confusion as to where and which line you need to be in for the check-in process. We were pre-paid so why did we have to wait for all those in front of us who did not pre-pay for their event? Wasted 20-30 minutes in line.

The crew & live music and especially our little speed boat driver were all authentically kind and made our experience the best they possibly could.

It was my first time on a bumper tube. It was more thrilling and exciting than any roller coaster. I also really enjoyed chatting with the Japanese female staff member.

人生初のバンパーチューブでした。どんなジェットコースターよりもスリリングでエキサイティングでした。日本人女性のスタッフの方との談話もとても楽しかったです。
