We were over 30 minutes early for the scheduled tour shuttle, which was good because they showed up right after we did and wanted to leave.
The guide was very nice, but carried on a conversation with the passenger in the front seat for a lot of the time, and didn't inform us about much in the 3+ hours we spent in the van.
It was mostly cloudy all day, but he said it would clear up on top of the mountain. Well.. it didn't. He had a nice jackets, chairs and a blanket for everyone, as well as a nice telescope. The sky opened up for a quick look at Jupiter and it's moons, and our moon, but nothing else. We spent inside of 2 minutes total, looking through the telescope. Not much discussion of anything at all. It was a total bust and certainly not worth $230 per person. Make sure the sky will be clear and the moon will not be out as it makes it nearly impossible to see anything. Otherwise you're wasting your time and money. I know the tour guide doesn't control the weather, and he did offer a return trip next time we were on the island with a half day to spend in a van, but we will pass.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet any whales this time, but the splendid sightseeing boat didn't sway much, so I was able to enjoy the trip without worrying about seasickness. My 2-year-old was super excited about being on such a big boat for the first time, and our whole family had a blissful time admiring the beautiful views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. The staff were warm and attentive, making it truly a perfect description of an elegant holiday. I definitely want to book again for our next trip to Hawaii, aiming for a little revenge on the whale sighting!
残念ながら今回はクジラさんに会うことは叶いませんませんでしたが、大きな揺れを感じない立派な遊覧船だったので、船酔いの心配もなく終始安心して楽しめました。
2歳の子供も初めての大きな船に大興奮で、家族全員でダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの美しい街並みを海から眺めるという、至福のひとときを過ごせました。スタッフの方々の気配りも温かく、まさに優雅な休日という言葉がぴったりです。次回のハワイ旅行でも、リベンジを兼ねてぜひまた予約したいと思います。

Thousands of humpback whales come to Honolulu in winter! I was so excited and nervous about this first-time experience that I definitely wanted to participate. We set sail on time, and I couldn't contain my excitement at the breathtaking views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Along the way, rain clouds rolled in, and it suddenly turned into a downpour, making it a bit chilly, but it was still fun. I caught a glimpse of the whales for just a moment; I wanted to see more, but I will try again on the next opportunity. If I had to point out one area for improvement, I would have liked the coffee provided to be hotter. The staff were all smiling, which was great.
何千頭のザトウクジラが冬のホノルルにやって来る!これは是非参加したいと初めての体験にドキドキワクワクしました。時間通りに出航し、海の上から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景に興奮が収まりません。途中、雨雲が掛かり突然スコールになり、寒くもなったりしていましたが、楽しかったです。クジラの姿は一瞬見えました、もっと見たかったが次のチャンスでまたチャレンジします。改善点一つ上げるとすれば、提供されていたコーヒーが熱々のものにしてほしかったです。スタッフはみんな笑顔で良かったです。
It suddenly gets cold, so a jacket or something to wear over your clothes is essential.
突然寒くなったりしますので羽織るものは必須です。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are very pleased to have been able to help create enjoyable memories for your first whale watching experience in Hawaii. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time. Hopefully, you'll be able to see even more whales then!

I couldn't see any whales, but I was very impressed by Diamond Head from every angle. First of all, even though it was a large ship, it was about four times faster than I imagined. Because of this, when I climbed to the top of the ship, the wind felt really nice, and the weather was good, which made me feel very refreshed. The ship traveled from the departure point all the way to the back of Diamond Head and then returned, allowing us to see Diamond Head from various angles over the sea.
クジラは見ることができませんでしたが,ダイヤモンドヘッドはあらゆる角度から見ることができ,とても感動しました.まず,大きな船であるにも関わらず,その速さは想像の4倍ぐらい速かったです.そのため,船の屋上に登ると風がとても気持ち良く,天気も良かったため,とても爽快な気分になりました.船は出発地点から,ダイヤモンドヘッドの奥まで進み,折り返して帰ってくる航路であったため,海上から様々な角度のダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができました.
If a whale appears, the captain will indicate its direction by the time, so it's best to listen carefully. Also, on sunny days, be sure to apply sunscreen.
クジラが現れたら,船長さんが時刻でその方角を示してくれるのでよく聞いた方がいいです.また,天気がいい日には日焼け止めを塗りましょう.
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu. Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views from the ship during the morning cruise. I am confident that Diamond Head and Waikiki have become memorable highlights of your trip. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.

In the end, I did see a spout and a little bit of the tail, but I can't deny that it felt a bit lacking. I had prepared myself for the possibility that it might not be very big based on past posts, so I wasn't too disappointed.
Since it was a large boat, there was no rocking, and I was able to enjoy the cruise with pound cake and drinks. On a smaller boat, you could move around more easily to search for whales, but I think the waves would be quite intense, raising concerns about seasickness. This time, the weather was decent, not too cold, and I was able to spend the time comfortably.
結果的には潮吹きと、少しのしっぽは見えましたが、物足りない感は否めませんでした。過去の投稿からも、大きくは見えないかもしれないと覚悟していたので、そこまで残念とは思いませんでした。
大きな船なので、揺れもなく、パウンドケーキと飲み物付きのクルージングで、それなりに楽しめました。
小さな船だと小回りもきいて鯨を探しに色々動けるでしょうが、波がすごくて、船酔いが心配だと思います。今回は、天気もまずまずで、そこまで寒くなく、快適に過ごせました。
Having binoculars will make it even more enjoyable.
双眼鏡があればもっと楽しめます

It took just under an hour from the pick-up to boarding, and we spent two hours on the boat. I think how many whales you can see depends on the timing, but since it was the season, I was a bit too hopeful and was a little disappointed to only see them a few times in the distance. Although it was in English, I enjoyed the fun facts about whales that were shared!
送迎から乗船まで1時間弱、船に乗っている時間2時間でした。クジラがどれくらい見られるかはそのときのタイミングによると思いますが、シーズンということもあり期待しすぎていたあまり、数回遠くに見える程度だったので少し残念に思ってしまいました。英語ではありましたが、クジラについての豆知識をお話ししてくれて楽しめました!
The onboard announcements will tell you which direction to look for the whales, but by the time you hear that, the whales may have already moved. I recommend checking the surrounding commotion and rus
船内アナウンスで何時の方向に見えましたと英語で言ってくれますが、それを聞いてからではクジラも移動してしまうので、周りのざわつく様子を確認して駆け寄ることをおすすめします!

I boarded the Star of Honolulu and participated in a whale watch. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales that day. We gathered at 8:45, but we left the hotel early and took an Uber because my wife doesn't like getting seasick, so we chose the Star of Honolulu.
We were warmly welcomed by the crew and the captain as we boarded the ship. The crew provided us with drinks and banana cake, along with explanations about the enjoyment of whale watching and the ecology of whales before we set sail.
We each went to the third deck and the rooftop deck, ready for the whale watch. Squinting our eyes and listening to the announcements over the ship's intercom, we soaked up the sun while looking at the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, but the whales didn't appear for quite a while. After turning back, we ended up spending over two hours on board without seeing any whales this time. However, it was a fun time. On the way back, we received tickets to board again, and I'm looking forward to the next time!

The day before, there was a heavy rain warning and the weather was bad, but on the day itself, it was sunny with gentle winds, making it perfect for whale watching. As we went up to the deck and waited, we received a message from the captain! Looking in that direction, we saw a cute tail 😍😍😍—there was a baby whale! After a while, many boats gathered, and everyone started watching! I wanted to take photos, but they quickly went underwater, so I hope you can burn the memory into your mind. You could see the whale's spout even from a distance, and it moved in that direction. Although it was a short time, we were able to see a lot. Also, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat was amazing! I want to go again.
前日は大雨警報が天気が悪かったのですが、当日は晴れて風も穏やかで、絶好の鯨ウォッチング日和でした。デッキに上がって待っていると船長からのメッセージ!そちらの方向を見ていると可愛い尻尾が😍😍😍ベビー鯨がいました。しばらくするとたくさんの船が集まってきてみんなでウォッチング!写真!をと思っているとすぐに水中に入ってしまうので是非目に焼き付けて欲しいです。🐳の潮吹きが遠目でもよく見えてそちらの方向へ移動してくださいます。短い時間でしたがたくさん見る事ができました。また、船からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高!また行きたいです。
Once the ship starts moving, I recommend moving to the top deck right away! The sun is strong, so a hat and sunglasses are a must.
船が動き出したらすぐに1番上のデッキに移動するのがおすすめ!日差しが強いので帽子、サングラス必須ですね。

If you're traveling during that season, they give you a ticket to board again, so I think it's a good idea to make a reservation for an early travel date.

I signed up for this thinking it would be enjoyable with a baby. Since it’s a large boat, the swaying is less intense, strollers are allowed, and light snacks are included, I chose this whale watching tour among many options.
I opted out of the shuttle service, so I took a taxi from the hotel to the location. It took about 20 minutes to arrive from the center of Waikiki. The rush hour traffic wasn't too bad, so we arrived smoothly.
The passengers were mostly from Europe and America, and everyone was cheerful. There were many families with babies and children, and they even set up a coloring corner for kids, which was a great way to keep them entertained.
The boat swayed more than I expected, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication just in case. We were able to see whales a few times from a distance, which was very satisfying. My child was also delighted.
Additionally, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making it a great experience in terms of enjoying the scenery from the water.
ベビー連れで楽しめるコンテンツと思い、申し込みました。
大型船なので揺れがマシ、ベビーカーOK、軽食付きということで数多あるホエールウォッチングツアーの中からこちらをセレクト。
送迎無しにしたので、現地まではホテルに頼んでタクシーで移動。ワイキキ中心部から20分ほどで到着。通勤ラッシュもさほどひどくなかったのでスムーズに到着できました。
乗船客は欧米人が多い印象で、皆さん陽気でした。ベビー連れや子連れも多く、子供向けに色塗りコーナーなども作ってくれていて、飽きない工夫満載です。
船は想像以上に揺れたので、念の為酔い止めを飲んでいて正解でした。
クジラは遠目からですが何度か見ることができ、大満足です。
子どもも喜んでいました。
また、海から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗で、海からの眺めを楽しむという意味でもいい経験になりました。
I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication.
酔い止めは飲んだ方が安心だと思います

The entertainment was top-notch and the food was delicious. I loved the different portions of entertainment that were designed around the various cultures that came together through history to make Hawaii what it is today. It was exactly the kind of experience and education I was hoping for.
Our tour bus did get stuck in some traffic and was slower due to picking up guests from multiple locations, and while I felt like that luau did their best to hold off on the main event (dinner and show) until we arrived (which I greatly appreciated), we did miss out on getting the full experience listed on the events description (i.e. "Interact up close and personal with your Pacific Island hosts with Hawaiian crafts, hula lessons, coconut husking, fire making, weaving, tattooing, and more. ") So if those activities are important to you, you might want to consider booking private transportation to the luau instead of taking the group shuttle option to make sure you arrive in plenty of time to get the full experience.
Tips on taking private transportation as opposed to a group bus are suggested in my main review.

The day of our participation had bad weather, but we set sail as usual. Since it was a large ship, there was no rocking, which was reassuring. For a while, we spent time in the first-floor cabin enjoying coffee and pineapple bread, but then there was an announcement in English about a whale sighting, so we hurried up to the upper deck. At first, we could only see a blow in the distance, but before we knew it, the whales were right next to the ship, appearing with a loud blow. Four of them swam slowly right in front of us, and I was lucky to capture many photos of the blows, backs, and tails with my smartphone. Although we didn't see any jumps, the whale watching experience was more thrilling than I had expected.
参加日は悪天候でしたが、普通に出航。大きな船なので揺れはなくそこは安心でした。しばらくは1階船室でコーヒーやパイナップルブレッドを食べて過ごしていましたが、英語でクジラ発見のアナウンスがあり、急いで上の階へ移動しました。初めは離れた海面にブローが見えるだけでしたが、気が付くと船のすぐ近くに来ていて大きなブローの音と共に姿を現しました。4頭がすぐ目の前を一緒にゆっくり泳いでいたので、ブロー、背中や尻尾をスマホでたくさん撮影出来てラッキーでした。ジャンプは見られませんでしたが、期待以上に迫力あるホエールウォッチングでした。
The deck is windy and cold, so I think it's better to have a jacket. I recommend shooting video.
デッキは風が強くて寒いので、上着があった方が良いと思います。撮影は動画がお勧めです。
