When I booked the Early Bird Whale Watch Cruise for the 15th April, it was my only opportunity to possibly see some whales. I knew it was the last day of the Star of Honolulu Whale Watch Cuises and I may not necessarily see any whales, and unfortunately we didn't. But that didn't stop me from having an absolutely wonderful time. There were not may 'tourists' on this cruise, probably because it was the end of the season, and we were allowed to wonder about the boat freely. The staff were very informative, and really made us all feel very welcome. I spent my time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos and talking to other tourists and staff. It was a beautiful sunny day, though a bit windy. To be out on the water on such a beautiful day with some fantastic people was a joy. It was a disappointment we didn't see whales, but a gamble I took when booking. The company guarantees you will see whales, in the event that you dont, they give vouchers for a free cruise, valid for 12 months.
Next time I go to Oahu it will be in January, and I can redeem the free cruise voucher.
I would recommend the Star of Honolulu whale watch cruises, the ship is beautiful and clean, the staff are fantastic, and the scenery is beautiful.

This is a wonderful dinner cruise! From the onset, the staff and crew catered to our every need. Our server, Kahleo (sp?) was a doll! We chose the tenderloin and all-you-can-eat crab meal and have to say, it was excellent! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and the crab was hot and plentiful! Our window seat table was awesome. I'm amazed how the crew can serve so many people a hot, wonderful meal! Fantastic cruise up to Diamond Head ending with a beautiful fireworks display. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ evening! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a dinner cruise!

I was looking forward to whale watching! I was worried about whether I would actually see a whale, but I was able to see them properly. I saw a mother and calf whale.
After that, a few more showed up, but they were quite far away, just showing a bit of their bodies above the surface, and there wasn't the big splash I was hoping for. However, the scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the cruise, so I was very satisfied.
I want to see a whale make a big splash someday, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again.
楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング!クジラが実際に見られるか不安でしたがちゃんと見ることできました。
親子クジラ見えました。
その後も何頭か姿を見せてくれましたが、距離的には遠く水面から少し胴体を出すくらいで、期待していた胴体を水面にザッパーンとかはありませんでした。
ですが、景色も素晴らしかったしクルーズとしても楽しめたので大満足でした。
いつかザッパーンするクジラが見たいのでハワイに行く機会があったら是非また参加したいと思います。

We had a great driver. He was very pleasant and informative. We learned a lot. We particularly enjoyed the Bowfin submarine. We had kids ages 8 and 10. It was very interesting. The movie about the history of Pearl Harbor very moving. The USS Mossouri was interesting but made tour a bit long for the kids. I would recommend the shorter tour of heading home after the Arizona Memorial if you have young kids. Submarine was highlight for us for the day.

I didn't see any tails splashing, but I did see whales multiple times and also witnessed spouting. I opted for the breakfast option, and it had more variety than I expected and was delicious, so I'm glad I chose it. The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, and the restroom was clean. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also wonderful! Even if you don't see whales, you can still enjoy the cruise. I would love to participate again.
しっぽバッシャーンのような姿は見られませんでしたが、何度もクジラの姿が見られたし、潮吹きも見られました。朝食付きにしましたが、思っていたよりも種類もあったしおいしかったので付けてよかったです。大きな船だったので船酔いもなく、トイレもきれい、海から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの姿も素晴らしかったです!もしクジラが見られなくてもクルーズを楽しめます。また参加したいです。

The main event of this trip to Hawaii (laugh) was the whale cruise. The crew members were using binoculars on deck to search for whales, but we didn't see a single one... However, on the way there, we saw a small shark, and on the way back, three dolphins swam alongside the boat, so that was nice. I guess we were a bit late in the season... I'll try again next year.
今回のハワイ旅行のメインイベント(笑)である、クジラクルーズ。
乗組員のスタッフさん達が甲板で双眼鏡を使って探してくれていましたが、一頭も見られませんでした。。。
でも、往路では小さなサメ 復路の埠頭内ではイルカが三頭船に並走してくれたので それだけでもよかったです。
時期が遅すぎたのでしょうか、、、、
来年にリベンジします

Thanks to Yamapi, I created unforgettable memories for a lifetime.
To avoid putting too much strain on our bodies, we made stops at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Claridge while heading to the summit of Haleakalā. Since I was with my elderly parents, I was worried about the cold and altitude sickness, but there was no need for such concerns with Yamapi's tour.
The sea of clouds and the sunset, and the breathtaking starry sky I saw while lying on the ground are unforgettable. Yamapi's stories while we gazed at the stars resonated deeply with me. I held back tears as I looked at Orion. I promised my parents that we would come again together.
The sushi for dinner that we chose at the supermarket was delicious, and we even enjoyed warm tea and snacks in the car. After stargazing, we listened to music selected by Yamapi in the car, soaking in the emotions as we were driven back to the hotel. The couple who joined us on the tour were also very kind, making it a fun trip for everyone. With chairs, blankets, down jackets, knowledge, and thoughtful care, I believe Yamapi's tour is number one in Hawaii.
ヤマピーさんのおかげで一生の思い出ができました。
身体に負担がないように、クリスピークリームドーナツやクラロッジに寄りながら、
ハレアカラ山頂を目指します。
高齢の両親と一緒だったため、寒さや高山病が不安でしたが、
ヤマピーさんツアーはそんな心配不要でした。
雲海とサンセット、
そして、地面に寝転がって見た、あの満天の星空は忘れられません。
星を見ながらのヤマピーさんのお話も心に響きました。
泣きそうになるのをぐっとこらえて、
オリオン座を見ていました。
また一緒に来ようね、と両親と約束しました。
スーパーで選ばせて下さった夜ごはんのお寿司は美味しく、
車中では温かいお茶やおやつまでいただきました。
星空観測後の車中では、
ヤマピーさんセレクトの音楽を聴きながら、
感動にひたりつつ、ホテルまで送っていただきました。
一緒のツアーだったご夫婦もとてもやさしくしてくださり、
みんなでワイワイ楽しい旅でした。
椅子や毛布、ダウンジャケット、知識、気配り心配り、
ヤマピーさんのツアーはハワイNo.1だと思います。
Thank you for the wonderful comment. Life truly passes by in the blink of an eye, and when I look up at the starry sky, it feels like our time alive is just a few seconds. I look forward to seeing you again!
素敵なコメントを頂き恐縮です。人生は本当にあっという間に過ぎてしまい、あの満天の星空を見上げると生きている時間は数秒のような気がします。またお目にかかれることを楽しみにしております!

We had a great time, enjoyed the food and first class service as well as entertainment and fireworks. The only negative was that if you eat different meals, you can't sit together in the same room. The staff did make accommodation and get us together but we never got the steak and lobster that was paid for with the more expensive meal.

I was able to see about 10 whales! It was amazing!
Since they weren't that close, I wish I had brought binoculars.
The ocean and sky were beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly.
I opted for the lunch option, but I wanted to see the whales and stayed on the deck the whole time, plus I had a bit of seasickness, so I couldn't eat at all. Personally, I think it was fine not to have lunch included.
I had a great time!
10頭くらい見れました!感動!
そんなに近くはないので、双眼鏡を持っていけばよかったです。
