Hawaii
It was okay. It’s very low key and some little film related facts about the region and hula show on journey back. Lasted about 80 minutes.
Loved the cruise to the Fern Grotto, the food was excellent and lots of it. The drinks were great. Above all were the performers. Wonderfully talented people that put on an action packed show of Hawaiian culture and traditions.
Thank you Smith family!
Get there early so you don’t miss anything.
How often can you get a kiss from a dolphin!? For me, this is once in a lifetime experience.. at least until I I come back and do it again!! The dolphins were great to interact with, our dolphin handler really ensured we all had time to interact with the dolphins. And Jennifer made sure that we understood how to appropriately interact with them. Always wonderful when animal handlers ensure the welfare and safety of the animal is a priority.
Fun activity for families. The tour operator does a good job of talking about the history of the area. Also, very scenic. Very worthwhile. Great job!
I was excited to be on the boat, but unfortunately, the weather was rainy, and we couldn't go whale watching. There was a thorough explanation of whale ecology, but it was all in English, and I managed to understand it with my iPhone's translation feature, although there was a bit of a time lag. It would have been nice to have information about the location of the restrooms as there were some places that were not usable.
テンションアップで船上しましたが、お天気も雨で・・残念ながらホエールウオッチング出来なかったです。鯨の生態等説明が丁寧にありましたが、すべて英語でiPhoneの翻訳機能でなんとか理解できましたが・・時間差がありました。
トイレの場所説明もあったら良かったと・・使えない場所がありました。
I thought it would be nice if there were someone who could speak Japanese.
日本語が出来る方がおられるといいと思いました。
Thank you very much for coming aboard our Star of Honolulu with your spouse. Unfortunately, the weather was not great, but we hope you enjoyed the morning cruise along with the light snacks and drinks. We hope you get to see whales on your next visit to Hawaii. Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。残念ながらのお天気でしたが朝のクルーズと軽食やお飲み物を楽しんで頂きましたでしょうか?次回ハワイに来られた際にクジラが見れると良いですね。今回のお声を有難うございます。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
Initially, the day I had reserved was canceled due to bad weather. The staff kindly assisted me, and I changed it to another day. On the rescheduled tour date, the weather was favorable, and the staff's service was excellent, making it a fun day.
当初、予約した日が天候不良で欠航でした
スタッフの方が親切に対応していただき、他の日に変更しました
ツアー変更日は、天候に恵まれ、スタッフの対応もよく楽しい一日にになりました
マハロ(ありがとう)ご参加いただき、天候のためにクルーズの日程を変更しなければならなかった際にご理解いただきありがとうございます!クルーズを楽しんでいただけてとても嬉しいです。
Mahalo for joining us and for being so understanding when we had to change your cruise date due to weather! We're so happy you enjoyed your cruise.
The dancing, music and show was fabulous! Very talented cast of dancers and performers. Really loved the Maori chaka dance!
The food was good and many choices on a buffet, and good drink selection.
Had a great time. Well worth the money. We got fresh fruit from the farm and was really tasty.
Beautiful 2 hour horseback ride in Kualoa Ranch.
It rained off and on but the scenery was spectacular.
Hope to come back and do it again someday.
The meeting time is set for 8:45, but you won't be able to board the ship until that time, so I don't recommend arriving too early. Once on board, you'll first receive drinks (coffee, tea, water) and banana pineapple cake. The banana pineapple cake was very delicious. It will be taken away about an hour after departure, so it's best to eat it early.
The ship moves slowly, getting closer to spots where you can see Waikiki and Diamond Head well. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, and the wind was strong. We were able to see whales about three times. Due to regulations, we couldn't get too close, and they were smaller than I had imagined.
8:45集合になっていますが、8:45にならないと船内に入れないので早めに来すぎるのはおすすめしません。
船内に入り、最初にドリンク(コーヒー、紅茶、水)とバナナパイナップルケーキを頂きます。バナナパイナップルケーキがとても美味しかったです。出発して1時間程で下げられてしまうので早めに食べるのがおすすめです。
ゆっくりと進んでいき、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見えるところに近づいてくれます。あいにく天気が良くなく、風も強かったです。
クジラは3回程見る事ができました。条例で近付いてはいけないのもあり、想像してたより小さかったです。
I saw the whales, but I think it's better not to have too high expectations as they aren't as impressive as one might hope.
クジラは見えましたが、大迫力とはいえないので期待しすぎない方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. Although the weather was unfortunate, I hope you were able to see whales and enjoy the morning cruise. We hope for good weather on your next visit to Hawaii. Thank you for your feedback this time, and we look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。お天気が残念でしたが、クジラも見れて朝のクルーズを楽しんで頂いたかと思います。またハワイに来られる際、お天気が良ければよいですね。今回のお声を有難うございます。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
It was winter when I participated, but I enjoyed it because there was no wind. I recommend afternoon trips on cold days. The performance until we reached the shallow area was also great.
冬場の参加でしたが、風の無い分楽しめました。寒い日は午後からの便をおすすめします。浅瀬に着くまでの演奏も良かったです。
Coral and shells are buried in the sandy beach, so I think it's better to bring footwear like sandals to prevent injuries.
珊瑚や貝殻が砂浜に埋まってますので、怪我をするのを防止するには、サンダル等の履物を持参した方がよろしいと思います。
Aloha Wai,
Thank you for participating in the sandbar tour with KBOS. We appreciate your 5-star review and the photos. We look forward to having you join us again.
Mahalo,

Aloha ワイ様

My companion boarded for the first time. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the weather, but the live music, food, and the night view of Waikiki were wonderful and felt extraordinary. There were also many newlyweds on board. There was a photo service (limited to Japanese customers?), and we received our pictures in a nice frame. I think it will be a great keepsake.
同伴者が初の乗船。生憎の天候でサンセットは見られてませんでしたが、生演奏や食事、夜景のワイキキなどの非日常が良かったです。新婚旅行の方も大勢おりました。写真もサービス(日本人限定?)があり、台紙に入れて貰えました。良い記念になると思います。
Once you head offshore, the boat tends to sway quite a bit, so if you are prone to seasickness, it would be wise to take some motion sickness medication in advance.
沖合に出ると割とゆらゆら揺れますので、船酔いされる方は酔い止めを予め飲んでおいた方が無難かと思います。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu as a couple. We are very pleased that you both enjoyed the five-star cruise. It is an honor for all of our staff to have been able to help create wonderful memories for you in Hawaii. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイブスターでのクルーズをお二人で満足して頂き大変嬉しく思っております。そして、ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
Absolutely amazing dive. Felt very safe. Would definitely do it again
The kids participated on their own! Since we were staying in the Ilikai area, it was very convenient to walk to the meeting place. They also enjoyed the boat ride to the points, and the kids were satisfied.
子供たちだけで参加させてもらいました!
イリカイエリアに滞在していたので、歩いて集合場所まで行くことができ、とても便利でした。船でポイントまで行く道中も楽しませてもらったそうで、子供たちは満足していました。
We had an awesome experience with Blue Hawaiian. We weren't able to experience the complete experience because of poor weather over Volcano National Park but Blue Hawaiian did an excellent job of working with us to create an alternative tour for us. Dale was great as our pilot and tour guide.
If you can, book the the volcanoes and waterfall tour
On the morning of the event, a bus came to pick us up near the hotel, and we were able to get to the site without any inconvenience. There were Japanese staff members at the site, and we were able to enjoy ourselves from start to finish! We were able to see dolphins and sea turtles from the boat, and since the wind was strong and the waves were high, we ended up entering the sea at a different spot than usual. However, there were many fun activities available, such as a slide from the boat and stand-up paddleboarding, so we were able to have a great time throughout!
当日の朝、ホテルの近くまでバスが迎えに来てくださり、何も不自由なく
現場まで行けました。
現場には日本人のスタッフさんがおり、最初から最後まで楽しむことができました!
船からイルカやウミガメを見ることができましたし、風が強く波が高かったため
いつもと違うポイントで海に入ることになりましたが、船からの滑り台や、サップなど多くの遊べる環境が整っていたため、終始、楽しむことができました!
Please pay attention to sunburn!
日焼けに注意してください!
Aloha! Kouta. Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. The encounters with dolphins and sea turtles set against the magnificent nature of West Oahu are truly amazing, aren't they? It seems you also enjoyed the famous slide on the Poseidon! Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! Koutaさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。西オアフの壮大な自然を舞台にしたイルカやウミガメとの出会いは最高ですよね! ポセイドン号名物の滑り台も楽しんでいただいたようですね!! ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
I was about 10 minutes late for the meeting time, but the check-in process went smoothly, and I waited in a nearby vehicle. Worst case, it seems fine to arrive 10 minutes before the activity (but it's best to go with some extra time, haha).
Once all the participants gathered, we boarded the boat in small groups. The boat went quite fast, and my body felt like it was floating, haha. However, I didn't feel nauseous or scared; it was fun!
We took turns putting on the gear, and the parasailing started for about 7 minutes. When I suggested to the group across from us to take some photos together, it created a fun atmosphere where everyone started taking pictures of each other 😙 Maybe it was because everyone was Japanese? Haha. After the experience, we all had an AirDrop session to share photos.
For an additional $40, we requested a photo service, and they took a lot of burst shots, capturing our reactions in a sequence! They took beautiful photos with Diamond Head in the background and close-up shots of our expressions, so I’m glad I requested it 👍🏻 I highly recommend it 🌟
It was the best experience enjoying the beautiful scenery of Hawaii and the thrilling ride on the boat!!!
集合時間に10分程遅れてしまったけど、スムーズに手続きをして、近くの車内で待ちました。最悪、アクティビティ10分前に着いたら大丈夫そうです。(余裕を持っていくのが1番ですが笑)
参加者が集まったら、数組で船に乗り込みます。船はかなりスピードがでて、体が浮きます笑
でも酔ったり怖い思いはせず、楽しかったです。
順番に道具を着用して7分ほどのパラセーリングがスタート。同乗した向かいのグループに写真を撮りましょうかと声をかけるとみんなで撮りあいっこする雰囲気に😙全員日本人だったからかな?笑
体験終了後にみんなでエアドロ大会をして写真をシェアしました。
+40$でお願いした写真サービスでは、たくさん連写をしてくれていて、リアクションがコマ撮で残せました!ダイヤモンドヘッドバックの写真や、表情寄りの写真まで綺麗に取ってくれたので、お願いして良かったです👍🏻オススメです🌟
ハワイの綺麗な景色と、船のスリリングな移動を楽しめて最高でした!!!
When cutting through the wind, it feels cold, so if you're going in February, a long-sleeved rash guard is essential! Also, since you'll be placing your luggage at your feet, I think it's a good idea
風をきると体感寒いので、2月に行く方は長袖のラッシュガードが必須です!
また荷物を座席の足元に置くので、汚れてもいいバッグで行くといいと思います。
I rode in a doorless helicopter for the first time! It was thrilling and a really great experience.
The scenery was beautiful, and I even got to see whales. I'm really glad I participated!
初めてドアなしのヘリコプターに乗りました!
スリルがあってとてもいい経験になりました。
景色も綺麗でで、クジラまで見ることができ、本当に参加して良かったです!
Since it's a bit chilly, I think it's better to wear thicker clothes.
少し肌寒いので、厚めの洋服がいいと思います。
I was recommended by a friend and participated for the first time this time. Driving the buggy was thrilling and exciting, but it was a lot of fun! The scenery while driving was amazing!
友人に勧められて、今回初めて参加しました。
バギーの運転はハラハラドキドキしましたが、とても楽しかったです!
運転しながら見る景色は最高でした!
Since the dust is quite heavy, I recommend going with minimal luggage and wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.
砂埃がすごいので、最小限の荷物、汚れてもいい服・靴で行くことをお勧めします。
It was a very enjoyable show with not only hula dancing but also other types of dance, along with singing and dancing! My elderly mother seemed to have a great time and felt rejuvenated.
フラダンス以外のダンスもあり歌踊りともにとても楽しいショーでした!年老いた母もとても楽しめたと元気をもらえた様でした。
It was comfortable and not cold since it was indoors even in the rain. They also accommodated my meal (vegan).
雨でも室内なので寒くなく快適でした。また食事(ヴィーガン)も対応してくださいました。
Thank you very much for bringing your family to our Rockafura. We are delighted to hear that you were satisfied with the vegan meal options and the entertainment. We are also honored that your mother seemed to enjoy herself very much. Thank you for your review. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のロッカフラにご家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。お食事(ヴィーガン)対応そして, エンターテインメントも満足して頂き嬉しく思っております。お母様もとても楽しめた様でスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。口コミも有難うございました。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
There was a captain who could speak Japanese, and he made the conversation very entertaining with jokes. I was very satisfied because we could see not only dolphins but also whales and turtles! The lunch was a buffet style and very delicious. The snorkeling was the same as in Japan!
日本語話せるキャプテン(船長さん)がいて、ジョークを交えて話してくれるのでとても面白かった。イルカだけでなく、クジラやカメも見ることができて大満足でした!
ランチもバイキング形式でとてもおいしかった。シュノーケルは日本と同じです!
The waves were high, so even people who usually don't get seasick have a high possibility of getting seasick ⚠️. Motion sickness medication is necessary.
波が高かったので普段酔わない人でも、船酔いする可能性大⚠️
酔い止め必要です。
The weather miraculously cleared up during the horseback riding experience! The horse was very smart and gentle, making it enjoyable even for a first-time rider. I definitely want to try it again on a sunny day. It's a recommended activity!
乗馬体験の間は奇跡的に晴れました!
お馬さんもとても賢く穏やかで乗馬初体験でも楽しめました。
是非晴れた日にまた体験したいです。おすすめのアクティビティです
I only did snorkeling and banana boating, but I was very satisfied! Most of the participants were Japanese, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese well, so there were no communication issues! The live music was lovely, and the luxurious shuttle bus was a comfortable and pleasantly surprising point.
シュノーケリングとバナナボートしかやりませんでしたがとても満足でした!
参加者も日本人ばかりでしたが、日本語上手なスタッフさんがいて意思疎通に困る事はありませんでした!ライブミュージックも素敵でしたし、送り迎えのバスが豪華なのが快適で地味に嬉しいポイントでした。
Banana boat rides and shuttle services to major hotels require separate fees for booking.
バナナボートや主要ホテル送迎は別料金申し込みが必要です。

The Star of Honolulu set its course off Waikiki Beach, initially searching for whales but struggling to find any, which caused some concern. Suddenly, a whale jumped out of the water, creating a thrilling moment. After that, it felt like the boat was surrounded by whales, with them jumping on both the starboard and port sides.
Additionally, the view of Waikiki Beach, the hotels, and Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic. The pineapple banana bread served before departure was also delicious.
スターオブホノルル号は、ワイキキビーチ沖に針路をとり、最初はホエールを探していましたが、なかなか見つからず、心配になっていたところ、突然のホエールのジャンプで、大感激。その後は、船がホエールに囲まれているのかのように、右舷左舷でジャンプ。
また、洋上から見るワイキキビーチ・ホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高。
出航前のパイナップルバナナブレッドも美味しい。
The direction in which the whales appear will be announced in English, but everyone will move, so there's no need to worry. The boat doesn't rock much either, so please feel at ease.
ホエールの出た方向は、英語でアナウンスされますが、みんなが動きますので、心配は不要。船もあまり揺れないので、安心してください。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. The weather was nice this time, and it was great to see the whales jumping several times. We are also glad to hear that you enjoyed the banana pineapple bread. Thank you for your review as well. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回お天気も良く、そして、クジラのジャンプが何回か見れて良かったですね。バナナパイナップルブレッドも満足して頂き嬉しく思っております。今回の口コミも有難うございました。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wasn't very familiar with the area, but even though it was sunny, the weather at sea seemed to be quite bad. I signed up for the cruise after reading experiences that said the large ship wouldn't cause seasickness, but the wind was strong, the waves were high, and the ship rocked a lot, resulting in many people feeling seasick. We didn't see any whales at all...
I personally didn't get seasick, so my memory of the cruise ended up being just watching people getting seasick both inside the ship and on the deck. (I also thought it was a bit late for the crew to start handing out sick bags just before returning to port.) We were given re-boarding tickets, but they were only valid within the same season (until March of that year), which is quite a hurdle for Japanese tourists. It might be nice to have some kind of souvenir distribution if we didn't see any whales...
I do have a desire to see whales someday, but since I paid a decent amount and this was the experience I had, I think it's disappointing and I probably won't use this plan again.
初ハワイだったのでよく知りませんが、晴れてはいたものの、洋上はどちらかというと悪天候だったのでしょうか。
船が大きく船酔いしないという体験談を見て申し込みましたが、風が強く、波も高く、船が大きく揺れた為に、船酔いする人が大勢いました。
クジラも、全然見られず…。
私自身は船酔いしなかったので、ただ単に船内でもデッキでも船酔いしてる人たちを見ながらのクルーズという思い出になってしまいました。
(船側がエチケット袋を配り出したのも、帰港直前でやや遅いように思いました。)
再乗船チケットが配られましたが、同シーズン内(同年3月まで)しか有効でなく、日本人観光客にとってはハードルが高いです。クジラが見られなかった場合は記念品の配布などがあっても良いのでは…?
またいつかクジラを見てみたい気持ちはありますが、まぁまぁの金額を支払って、こんな感じだったので、残念ですがもうこのプランは利用しないだろうと思います。
It depends on luck. There are experiences where people didn't get seasick, but like my family, even with taking anti-nausea medication, there's still a possibility of being seasick for two hours. I th
運に左右されます。船酔いしなかったという体験談もありますが、私の家族のように酔い止め薬を飲んでも、船酔いで2時間終わる可能性があることもあります。
別の時間の使い方もあると思います。
Thank you very much for coming aboard our Star of Honolulu. We are sorry that you were unable to see any whales despite bringing your little ones along. However, we hope you enjoyed the morning cruise, including the views from the ship. Thank you for your suggestion regarding the reboarding ticket. I will be in touch with the manager about that. We appreciate your feedback this time.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。小さなお子様連れとゆうことでせっかくお越しになられたにもかかわらずクジラが見られなかった事は残念でしたが、船上からの景色等を含め、朝のクルーズを楽しんで頂いたかと思います。再乗船券の提案を有難うございます。支配人と連絡を取り合って行きたいと思います。今回のお声を有難うございます。
It's an aquarium in Maui where you can only see small and medium fish. Despite the high admission fee, there are few exhibits that are particularly impressive or captivating. If the price were a bit lower and parking were free, I think it would be a good place to learn about Maui's fish.
マウイにいる小魚、中魚を見るだけの水族館。
入場料が高い割に、感動する特別魅力的な展示が少ない。
もう少し値段が安く駐車場も無料なら、マウイの魚を知るには良いと思う。
Several small children bumped their heads on the step-like chairs in front of the water tank and were crying. In the dim light, the chairs look inviting for play, so please be careful.
水槽前の段になったイスに、数人の小さな子どもが頭をぶつけて泣いていました。暗がりの中、遊びたくなるようなイスなので、気をつけてください。
We had a great time on our Trip to Lanai! Our guide, Clive, was awesome. He took us around and let us spend as much time at each place as we wanted. He has lived on Lanai a long time and was able to give us insights into life on the island. We visited Garden of the Gods and Shipwreck Beach among other sights. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide or tour. He dropped us off at the Blue Ginger restaurant in Lanai City at the end of the tour at our request, where we had an excellent lunch. Then we toured around Lanai City for the rest of the afternoon.
We went back to the port early in order to visit the beach near the port (Hulopo’e beach), which is a 10 minute stroll from the port. Very nice beach. In order to do that we called the shuttle company, Rabaca’s limousine service (808-559-0230) who was able to send a van early to pick us up. No guarantee they will be able to do that, but worth giving them a call if desired.
The 150 meters above ground was higher than I expected! I think the moments of ascending and descending were the scariest! The view up there felt elegant and the scenery was beautiful!
地上150m思った以上に高かった‼︎
上昇、下降する時が1番怖かった気がする‼︎
上空は優雅な感じで景色も綺麗だった‼︎
Even those who usually don't get motion sickness might experience seasickness! I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication or have gum or candy on hand.
乗り物酔いをしない方も船酔いしてしまうかも‼︎酔い止めを飲むかガムもしくは飴があると良いと思います。
I was worried about whether it would be okay to go horseback riding for two hours at the age of 70, but the guide's instruction was excellent and focused on safety. The two hours flew by. It's just a shame that I didn't get to see any dinosaurs. If I go to Oahu again, I will definitely experience horseback riding again.
初めての乗馬で2時間、70歳で大丈夫かなと心配しましたが、ガイドの指導も安全を考えて大変すばらしかった。あっとゆうまの2時間でした。ただ恐竜に会えなかったのが残念でした。オアフ島にまた行ったら乗馬体験またします。
If you follow the guide's advice, even beginners can be safe.
ガイドのアドバイスを守れば初心者でも安全です。
I saw whales many times. The meeting place was easy to find, which was great. I participated in the whale watching cruise on Maui in January, and I'm glad I went during the season when whales can be seen.
何度もクジラ見えました。 集合場所もわかりやすく 良かったです。 マウイ島はホエールウォッチグクルーズ 1月に参加させて頂きクジラが見える時期に行って良かったです。
