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。
みなさんがおっしゃっている通り、船上は少し寒いので上着持参は推奨です。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise for the first time with your spouse for whale watching. We are delighted that you enjoyed observing the whales, the views from the boat, and the light snacks.

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 so). 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 believe seeing the whales was purely luck, but in February, we were able to see them well! Fortunately, two whales swam 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. The captain announced in English, "They're at 10 o'clock!" or "9 o'clock!" 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!
On the way there and back, we had English-speaking guides. Both were cheerful individuals. Especially on the way back, they were flexible, changing our drop-off location and accepting requests for unscheduled stops. The tour ended before noon, and I was thinking about going to Ala Moana Shopping Center afterward, but I was unsure how to get there. However, since it was possible to get off the bus along the way, I wanted to make good use of that... 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!
On the way back, you can stop at Ala Moana Shopping! Please get off at the first stop!
帰りはアラモアナショッピングありです!一つ目の停車場所で降りちゃって下さい!

I participated in mid-February!
It was rainy, but thanks to that, it wasn't too hot, and I was able to look for whales from the deck.
During the ride to the meeting point, the guide talked a lot about the area and sightseeing, making the trip enjoyable.
On the boat, we were served delicious original cake and coffee before departure, which served as a nice breakfast. The original pineapple banana cake was moist and tasty.
During the whale watching, the guide indicated where the whales were based on the direction of the clock, so there was a high probability of seeing whales multiple times.
Not only did we see whales, but we were also lucky enough to see sea turtles up close!
The view from the boat was also amazing, and I was moved by the beauty of Diamond Head and the horizon.
It became a wonderful memory, and I am very satisfied.
2月中旬に参加しました!
雨模様だったのですがそのおかげで暑すぎることなく、デッキでクジラを探すことが出来ました。
お迎えの車中ではガイドさんがエリアや観光についてたくさん話して下さり、移動も楽しかったです。
船では美味しいオリジナルケーキとコーヒーが出港前に食べられるので、朝ごはん代わりになりました。オリジナルのパイナップルバナナケーキはしっとりしてて美味しかったです。
ホエールウォッチングの最中は時計の方向でクジラがどこにいるかを教えてくれるので殆どの確率で何度かクジラを見ることが出来ます。
クジラだけではなくウミガメも近くで見ることが出来たのでとても幸運でした!
そして船上からの景色も素晴らしく、ダイヤモンドヘッドや水平線の美しさに感動しました。
とても素敵な思い出になり、満足です。
It can be cold on the boat, so it's important to wear a jacket and a hat that won't get blown away. Also, the floor inside the boat can be slippery with water, so I recommend wearing sneakers.
船上は寒いので羽織れる洋服と帽子は飛ばされないように注意が必要です。あと船の中は水で滑るのでスニーカーが良いと思います。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat (and it was great that you also saw sea turtles). We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

I took TheBus to the meeting point. A round trip costs $7 (you can ride all day for $7). It's necessary to check how to ride TheBus and the routes in advance (you can find bus stop information on Google). Upon arriving at the meeting point, you will present your voucher (sent via email after booking) for check-in.
Once on board, there was an all-you-can-eat and drink option for fruit cake and coffee (though I couldn't eat that much). As for finding whales, the spouting is a key indicator. I witnessed spouting several times, but they rarely appeared on the surface. I participated with the last attached photo in mind, but this time, we only managed to see the tail fin during the watching experience.
集合場所にはTheBusで行きました。往復$7でOKです(一日$7で乗り放題なので)。TheBusの乗り方や経路(Googleでバス停が案内可能です)の調べ方は事前に確認が必要です。集合場所に到着するとバウチャー(予約完了後にメールで送られる)を提示して受付となります。
乗船後はフルーツケーキやコーヒーなどは食べ放題、飲み放題でした(そんなに食べられませんが)。クジラの探し方としては、潮吹きが目印となります。何回か潮吹きを目撃しましたが、海上に現れることは少なかったです。添付の最後の写真をイメージして参加しましたが、今回は尾びれを確認できる程度のウォッチング結果でした。
If you can't see the whales (it's a bit unclear how often that happens), you can participate again. Whether you can spot them depends on timing, so all you can do is hope.
クジラが見られない場合は(どの程度かグレーですが)、再度参加可能とのこと。目撃できるかはタイミングしかないので、祈るしかないですね。

The weather was clear on the day of the trip, and I was a bit worried about whether we would be able to see whales, but there was no need for concern as we were able to see whales multiple times!
Onboard, we enjoyed cake for our meal, along with drinks like coffee and tea, making for a thoroughly satisfying two hours.
Not only did we see whales that day, but we also spotted dolphins, and we were able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea, making it a valuable experience that went beyond just whale watching.
The energetic staff shared their knowledge about whales after we set sail and provided many interesting facts during the whale watching, which deepened my understanding of these magnificent creatures.
I definitely want to participate again the next time I visit Honolulu!
当日は快晴で、鯨もちゃんと見られるか少し心配していましたが、心配の必要が無かったくらいに何回もクジラを見ることができました!
船内ではケーキの食事や、コーヒーやお茶などの飲み物も飲むことができて、2時間たっぷりと満足することができました。

The ship provided light snacks (coffee, tea, pineapple cake). The pineapple cake was delicious. The actual sailing time was about 2 hours. On this day, we were able to see two humpback whales. The whales came to the surface and spouted water at intervals of about 10 to 15 minutes, so I enjoyed chatting with the foreign people next to me (although I only understood about one-third of the conversation).
I didn't feel much movement while the ship was moving, but when the ship was stopped during whale watching, there was some rocking, so I think those who are prone to seasickness might need motion sickness medication. When the ship returned to the port, there were a few people on board celebrating their birthdays, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday," which felt very international and was really nice.
船内は軽食付き(コーヒー、紅茶、パイナップルケーキ)です。パイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。実際の乗船時間は2時間ほど。この日はザトウクジラを2頭見ることができました。クジラは約10〜15分間隔で水面上に来て潮吹きをしていたので、横の海外の人と談笑しながら楽しみました。(言葉は1/3程度しか理解できなかったですが、)
船が動いているときはそこまで感じなかったですが、ホエールウォッチング中の船が止まっているときは船揺れがあったりするので酔いに弱い人は酔い止めが必要かと思います。船が港へ戻る時に船内で誕生日だった人が数名いて、みんなでハッピーバースデーの歌を歌ってお祝いしていたのが海外らしくてとてもよかったです。
This time, I participated in February. When the sun is shining, a short-sleeved shirt is usually fine, but in shaded areas, on the boat, or inside the bus, there were moments when the wind was strong
今回は2月の参加でした。日差しが射すところだと基本半袖ですが、影がかかる場所、船内、バス車内は風が強かったり空調が効きすぎたりする場面があり羽織れる上着が一枚あれば良いかと思います。

We were able to participate with our small child, and it was a fun boat experience without any significant rocking of the boat. The interior of the boat was clean and spacious, providing a calm atmosphere along with light snacks and drinks.
At first, we had a brief explanation about whales on the first floor and enjoyed some snacks, after which we were free to move up to the fourth floor to look for whales and enjoy the view from the boat.
Although we weren't able to see any whales this time, we received a ticket to board again during this season. The crew members were all very kind, making for a delightful boat trip.

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I’m really glad I chose this place for dinner on Friday. The cruise lasted from just after 5 PM to just after 8 PM, and I opted for the three-course meal. The lobster in the course was, of course, delicious, and there was live music and a show throughout the cruise, making it lively and never boring.
Additionally, from the ship, I could see the sunset over Diamond Head, and after the sun went down, the night views of Honolulu and Waikiki were spectacular. Especially on Fridays, fireworks are launched from Waikiki Beach, offering an exceptional night view.

On this day, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was a strong wind. It started to rain midway, and by the time we disembarked, there was a full-blown storm. Perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high and there were whitecaps, making it difficult to spot whales. However, there were several announcements on the ship about whale sightings, and my husband and I were able to see a spout once each. A few Japanese passengers who were on board with us also mentioned they saw a spout just once. Does seeing a spout mean you've seen a whale? I wonder if it was the right decision to set sail in that weather. If asked whether I would like to go again, I would say I do not want to. Even if the weather were good, it seems there is a set distance from which you can approach the whales, so I think it would be difficult to actually see the whales themselves. The coffee and light snacks were delicious (although the boat rocked so much that the coffee spilled...).
この日は空一面の雲に強い風、途中から雨が降り始め、下船するころには大嵐になっていました。強い風のためか波が高く白波が立ち、クジラ発見には難しい条件だったと思いますが、船内に何回かクジラ発見の放送が流れ、私たち夫婦は潮吹きを1度づつ見ることができました。一緒に乗っていた日本の方たち数人も潮吹きを1度だけ見たと言っていました。潮吹きを見たらクジラを見たことになるのか?あの天候で船を出すことは正解なのか?疑問です。また乗ってみたいかと言われれば、もう乗りたくありません。天候が良かったとしても、クジラに近寄れる距離が決まっているらしく、クジラ本体を見ることは難しいのではないかと思いました。コーヒーと軽食は美味しかったです(コーヒーがこぼれるほど揺れましたが・・・)

This was my first time on board. I was planning to use a taxi for the round trip, but considering the time and location for the return, I became anxious and decided to book a shuttle service on the same day. I highly recommend it for efficiency! I made the reservation by phone, and they have Japanese-speaking support.
It seems that the meals vary depending on the deck. Once on board, there was singing, dining, and we ended with a fantastic fireworks display.
The welcome drink and the beer I ordered felt a bit slow to arrive. There might be an imbalance between the number of customers and the staff or facilities.
I ended up feeling seasick partway through and could only eat a little (which was disappointing), but it became a great memory!

I was able to observe the sunset and the starry sky from the summit of Haleakalā. The guide provided a wonderful pair of binoculars and a telescope, and we observed the stars while receiving explanations. I saw more stars than I have ever seen before, and I was able to see Saturn beautifully through the telescope, which was very moving. I highly recommend this tour!
ハレアカラの山頂から夕日と星空を観測できました。ガイドさんが立派な双眼鏡と望遠鏡を用意してくれ、星の解説と共に観測しました。今まで観たことがないほどの星が観れ、また望遠鏡を通して土星まで綺麗に観れ、とても感動しました。ぜひおすすめしたいツアーです!
Jackets are available for rent, but it gets cold at night, so please dress warmly!
ジャケットの貸し出しはありますが、夜は冷えるので暖かい格好をしてください!

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon.
Thanks to the favorable weather, the boat didn't sway, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful sea, as well as views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the water.
As for the whales, we were able to see them several times during the trip. However, they were all quite far away, and we could only see a spout, a black back, and a bit of the tail fin. While I think it was great just to see them, I can't help but wish we could have seen them a little closer.
新婚旅行で夫と2人で参加しました。
天気に恵まれたため船が揺れることもなく、綺麗な海や海からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めることができました。
肝心のクジラですが、乗船中何度も見ることができました。しかしいずれも遠いところで、潮吹きと黒い背中と尾鰭が少し見える程度。姿を見ることができただけでも良かったのだと思いますが、強いて言えば、もう少し近くで見れると良かったなと思います。

I have to say I really enjoyed the Chief's Luau! After I got past the fact that it was situated in a water park, and got to the actual venue, I was able to forget there was anything there but the Luau! The grounds and setting were lovely, and I had a beautiful view of the show. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the entertainment some of the best I've seen at a luau, and I've been to several. For authentic entertainment and a good experience, this one was great!!
I recommend the upgraded seating -- very VIP treatment!

I was worried, but I'm glad I was able to see the whales properly. The explanations in Japanese were easy to understand. I recommend it.
心配でしたが、クジラがちゃんと見られてよかったです。日本語の説明もあって分かりやすかったです。オススメです。
It's stable, so it's fine.
揺れないので大丈夫です。

If it's a round trip tour, there were stops along the way, and we enjoyed a leisurely dinner while watching the sunset, making it an enjoyable experience without any dull moments.
往復長旅となるツアーでしたら、途中立ち寄りがあったりゆっくりとサンセットを楽しみながらの夕食タイムなど飽きることなく楽しめました。
For dinner, everyone can prepare their own, so you can either stop by and eat poke or prepare something yourself.
夜ご飯は各自用意するので途中で立ち寄るポキを食べてもいいし、自分で用意してもいいかと思います。

I participated in the whale watching tour on the Star of Honolulu with a pickup from Waikiki (with snacks and drinks included). There were many participants on the large boat. Even though it was the rainy season in February, we were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the views of the blue sky and the deep blue sea from the boat. We also saw whales multiple times, including some mother and calf pairs, and got to witness them spouting water. It was a very satisfying whale watching experience. If you're coming to Waikiki, I highly recommend you join this tour!
ワイキキ送迎を付けてホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号(軽食&ドリンク付き)に参加しました。
大型船で参加者もたくさんいました。
雨季の2月での参加でしたがお天気にも恵まれ、青く晴れた空と真っ青な海が広がる船からの景色を楽しめました。
またクジラも何度も現れて潮吹きも何度も見られました。
親子のクジラも現れ大満足のホエールウォッチングになりました。
ワイキキに来る方はぜひ参加してみてください!オススメです!

I participated in a trip with my mother and daughter. We arrived at Aloha Tower right at 8:00, but we couldn't board immediately and had to wait outside. The port's restroom was locked and unavailable for use.
The large ship has four decks, and after boarding, there was an explanation of whale watching in English, along with the offering of pineapple banana bread, coffee, tea, and water. I recommend going to get your food early as there is a line.
It took a while before we spotted any whales, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making the cruise satisfying. After a while, we saw a whale spouting water, and we could see its tail and dorsal fin. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any big jumps.
The trip was on a Saturday, and we were able to disembark around 11:00, which allowed us to take a taxi to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market.
母、娘の二人旅で参加しました。
8時ちょうどにアロハタワーに着きましたがすぐには乗船できず外で待ち時間がありました。港のトイレは鍵が掛かっており利用できませんでした。
4階まである大きな船で、乗船後英語でホエールウォッチングの説明がありパイナップルバナナブレッドとコーヒー・紅茶・お水の提供があります。並ぶので早めに取りに行くことをおすすめします。
沖へ出るまでなかなかくじらは現れなかったですが、海から見えるワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドが美しくクルーズとして満足できました。
しばらくすると潮を吹いているクジラがおり、尾びれや背びれが見えました。残念ながら大ジャンプは見られませんでした。
参加日は土曜日で、11時頃には下船できたのでタクシーでカカアコファーマーズマーケットへ行く事ができました。
Sunscreen is essential because I get sunburned.
日焼けするので日焼け止め必須です
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your daughter and mother. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. We hope to see you again next time, and it would be wonderful to witness a whale jump. We look forward to welcoming you back.

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I appreciated that this boat is large and has minimal rocking. We encountered whales a few times (and dolphins too). They explain which direction to look by comparing it to a clock, which makes it easy to understand. I also thought it was a nice cruise to see Waikiki and Diamond Head. However, since we didn't see the whales up very close, it's better not to have too high expectations in that regard.
乗り物酔いしやすい体質なので、こちらの船は大きく、揺れが少ないのがよかったです
クジラには何回か遭遇できました(イルカにも)
時計に例えてどっちの方角にいるかいってくださるのでわかりやすいです
ワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドをみるクルージングとしてもありだと思いました
クジラはすごく近くで見られた訳ではないので、その辺は期待しすぎない方がよいです

As everyone has mentioned, it can be a bit chilly on the boat, so it's recommended to bring a jacket.
