Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

awesome

Reviewed by: Xis

We had a great time! The food was good and we loved the view of the ocean. When we first arrived they took a family picture of us. It was nice to have a group picture. :) Even though it was windy that day we still saw some whales. It was amazing to see whales!!! It was too bad that it didn't jump high, but it was still exciting to see their backs and tails. The leis and ukulele class were on at the same time. It did go by fast so we didn't get to join both classes. However, we loved making leis with real flowers!! We had a wonderful experience.

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

There is a sense of security with the large ship. 大型船の安心感があります

Reviewed by: Kazuya

I was looking for a tour to swim with dolphins on the Big Island and narrowed it down to two options: ① a small boat tour with about six people (no restroom, no shower, some snacks provided, possibly swimming close to dolphins) or ② a large boat (with restroom, shower, breakfast and lunch included, able to see dolphins but not swim with them). When I asked my kids, they preferred the large boat with a slide (more interested in that than the dolphins... haha), and considering my wife's health, I thought it would be better to choose the tour with the restroom, so I went with option ②.

In fact, two years ago, when I participated in a tour with Quicksilver in Cairns, Australia, the large boat had a buffet for lunch and was equipped with restrooms and changing rooms, making it very comfortable, so I chose a similar type this time as well. The departure location was a bit far from the office and unclear, but when I first went to the departure point and asked a crew member near the boat, they kindly guided me, allowing me to find the office and park the car successfully.

When I got close to the boat, the check-in was smooth, and we boarded. The boat was not as large as the one from Quicksilver in Australia, with six booth-style seats like those in a family restaurant, and there were bench seats back-to-back in the central area on the second floor, which had a roof, while the outer bench seats were exposed to the sun. By the way, for those prone to seasickness, the first-floor seats are recommended as they experience less rocking.

Since we had an early morning meeting, there was a simple breakfast buffet where we could eat as much as we wanted, including fruit. Also, I had accidentally submerged my waterproof camera the day before, so I rented a digital camera (GoPro) for about $30 with an 8GB SD card and chip. I think it’s much better than the waterproof disposable camera... I tried both, but the photos included here are from the GoPro.

Unlike the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, we didn’t go out far into the ocean but progressed along the coast. Therefore, we were on the boat for about 30 to 40 minutes. When we arrived, the staff distributed snorkeling masks, and the fins were located under the seats on the first floor, so we were told to choose ones that fit our foot size. The water was deep enough for diving, so I borrowed a life jacket (the staff will lend it to you if you ask; you can just gesture to indicate what you need... haha).

When I went to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia around the same time, the seawater was a bit cold, and I borrowed a wetsuit (to prevent jellyfish stings), but this time it wasn’t necessary (there were no jellyfish). The visibility was incredible, and I could see all the way down. It was beautiful.

We swam freely around the boat and slid down the slide from the second floor (the slide ends around the first floor, and you drop into the water from about one floor high). My third-grade son enjoyed it. The adults also had fun. Even without the slide, you could jump in from the second floor where there were no railings.

Around lunchtime, they started a BBQ on the deck, and we had a buffet-style meal centered around hamburgers. During this time, we had free time to eat or play until the departure time.

On the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins that swam alongside the boat and jumped around. I think we were very fortunate with the weather. I did feel a bit seasick during the trip, but since it was a large boat, I could lie down in my seat the whole time, so I was glad it wasn’t a small boat.

By the way, we were the only Japanese on this tour. Even though we came all the way to Hawaii, it felt a bit lonely to be surrounded by only Japanese people, so I chose this tour, but thanks to that, I was able to make friends with an American who came from Los Angeles.

Since I got seasick this time, I rated it four stars, but the tour itself was great.

ハワイ島でイルカと一緒に泳ぐツアーに参加しようと探していたところ、2つに絞られ、①6名程度の小型ボート(トイレなし、シャワーなし、スナック程度付、イルカの近くで泳げるかも)でのツアーか、②大型船(トイレ、シャワーあり、朝食・昼食付、イルカを見れるけど一緒には泳げない)になりました。
子どもたちに尋ねたところ船にスライダーがついている②大型船を希望し(イルカよりもそっちか…笑)、妻の体調のことも考えるとトイレが完備されているツアーの方がいいかと思い、②を選びました。
実際、2年前にオーストラリアのケアンズでクイックシルバー社のツアーに参加した時、大型船で昼食にビュッフェがあったり、トイレ・更衣室等完備されていたので、大変快適だったので、今回もそのようなタイプを選びました。
出発場所から若干事務所が離れていてよくわからなく、最初に出発場所に行って船の近くにいるクルーに尋ねたら親切に教えてくれたので、事務所を無事に見つけ、車を駐車することができました。
船の近くに行くと受付が行われていて、スムーズに済み、乗船。
オーストラリアのクイックシルバー社の船ほどの大きさはなく、ファミレスのボックスシートのような席が6か所、あとは二階席で中央側にベンチシートが背中合わせであり、そこには屋根があり、外側のベンチシートは日が当たるような状態でした。ちなみに船酔いしやすい人は1階席の方が揺れが少ないのでお勧めです。
朝早くの集合のため、簡単な朝食バイキングがあり、フルーツを含め好きなだけ食べることができました。また前日に防水カメラの内部に浸水させて故障させてしまったので、デジタルカメラ(GoPro)を借りました(8GBのSDカードとチップを入れて30ドル程度だったかな。防水タイプの写るんですよりは全然いいかと思います…両方試してみましたが。今回掲載している写真は、GoProのものです)
オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフとは違い沖に出ず、岸に沿って進んでいきます。そのため30分か40分程度船に乗るくらいです。
到着する頃になると、スタッフがシュノーケルのマスクを配ってくれ、フィンは1階のシート下にあるので、自分の足のサイズに合うものを選んで使ってくれということでした。ダイビングもできるくらいの深さのところなので、ライフジャケットを借り(スタッフに言えば貸してくれます。というか、置いてあるものを手で持って、ジェスチャーで示すだけでもわかってもらえます…笑)
オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフに同じ時期に行った時は、海水がやや冷たく、ウェットスーツを借りましたが(クラゲ防止も含めて)、今回は不要でした(クラゲもおらず)。
透明度がすごくて、思いっきり下まで見えました。綺麗です。
船の周辺を好き勝手に泳いだり、2階からスライダーで滑り下りて(1階くらいでスライダーがなくなり、残り1階分くらいの高さから)、水中に落ちる。小3の息子は楽しんでいました。外国人は大人も楽しんでいました。スライダーでなくても2階の手すりのないところから飛びこむこともできます。
昼食頃になるとデッキでBBQをやり始め、ハンバーガーを中心としたバイキング形式の食事になります。
この辺りは食べようが遊ぼうが出発時間までは自由時間です。
帰り道でイルカの群れに遭遇し、船と並走して、ジャンプしたりしてくれました。
天気にも恵まれて大変よかったと思います。
途中船酔い状態になりましたが、やはり大型船だったため、ずっとシートで横になっていることができたので、小型ボートでなくてよかったと思いました。
ちなみにこのツアーですが日本人はうちだけでした。せっかくハワイまで来たのに、周りが日本人ばかりというのもちょっと寂しいので、そのようなツアーにしましたが、お陰でロスから来られたアメリカ人の方と仲良くすることができました。
今回酔ってしまったので、星4つとしましたが、ツアー自体はいいものです。

Star of Honolulu STAR OF HONOLULU

Reviewed by: KUMIKO

My friend was visiting Oahu for the first time, so I chose this experience thinking we could enjoy various aspects of Hawaiian culture on board. We made leis, danced hula, and played the ukulele. Since it was a weekday, there were no group tours, so we didn't have to wait in long lines for the buffet. Depending on where you sit, it seems you could also see dolphins and whales. It might be worth a visit.

お友達が、オアフ島への訪問が初めてだったので・・船内でハワイの文化を色々体験できると思い選びました。レイを作ったり、フラダンスを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いたり、平日だった為か団体ツアーが入っておらずバイキングでも長蛇の列を並ぶ必要はありませんでした。座る場所次第でイルカやクジラも見えた様です。行ってみても良いかも。

Everything was well managed even from the purchase on line of tickets. Pickup was on time in topscale bus. Staff was dressed in 1st class attire. Greeting by staff at dock was nice. Seating was fine with exception of sun shining directly in my husband eyes . it was a little distracting. Dinner and the drinks was great, along with the service.

Great Morning

Reviewed by: DavidinWisconsin

We had a great time on the Star of Honolulu. The ship was comfortable and clean. The rails offered a great platform for picture taking and whale watching. Only minutes out of Honolulu harbor the first whales were sighted. We followed along with them for about 1/2 hour. They would surface every 5 minutes or so. On the way back up to Diamondhead we encountered another pod. After watching them for awhile, it was time for the morning trip to end. All in all... this was one of many highlights for our visit to Oahu.

The price for breakfast included for a family of four is cheap, and all the crew members were kind and friendly, which made the children happy. It was a bit disappointing that we were able to see whales a few times and were satisfied, but I think it would have been even better if we could have seen them up close.

家族4人で朝食付きでこの値段は安い、クルーのみんなも優しく親切で子供たちも喜んでいました。ちょっと残念だったのは、クジラは何度か見ることができて満足できたのですが、もっと間近で見れれば最高だと思います。ぬ

I participated with half expectations, considering it was nature. Although I didn't get to see the jumping whales, I was able to see the magnificent spouts and tails up close, right in front of the deck where I was standing. I was so mesmerized that I forgot to take pictures.

The breakfast was delicious too.

With the blue sky and blue sea, and the Hawaiian music flowing gently inside the boat, I think that alone makes it worth the experience.

自然相手ということもあり、期待半分で参加しました。さすがにジャンプするクジラの姿は見れなかったものの、ちょうど立っていたデッキの真ん前+結構近い距離で、豪快な潮吹きと尾びれを見ることができました。あまりの事に見とれてしまい、写真撮るのを忘れました。w
朝食も美味しかったです。
青い空と青い海。ゆったり船内に流れるハワイアンミュージック。もうそれだけで体験する価値はあるかな、と思います。

I participated with my one-and-a-half-year-old child. I was worried about seasickness, but there was no need to worry about the rocking. My child was delighted to spot a whale and pointed it out! The weather was great, and it was very elegant to look at Waikiki from the sea. We enjoyed the cruise thoroughly. We didn't order breakfast and brought our own bread to eat. Coffee can be purchased on board for $4 if you order it. I'm glad I participated! We drove to the meeting point and were able to park in a nearby parking lot for $5. It was convenient because we could head out right after it was over.

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦 ハワイの海底アドベンチャー <日本語オーディオガイド> 

Is it a unique underwater landscape of the Big Island of Hawaii? ハワイ島ならではの海底風景かな?

Reviewed by: wakame

Check-in at the office near Kailua Pier should be done 30 minutes before boarding time. If you check in too early during the hot daytime, there isn't much shade near the boarding area at the pier, so you'll need to find somewhere to escape the sun. They take group photos when you board, and at the end, they sell a CD with the photos on the boat for about $20.

After a few minutes on the boat from Kailua Pier, you transfer to a waiting submarine offshore. The real submarine was quite interesting. You can see plankton that looks like baby whales drifting in the seawater outside the window. The coral reefs are more colorful in Miyako Island, Okinawa, but the scenery of coral growing on the rugged lava is unique to the Big Island of Hawaii. I couldn't hear the Japanese guide at all, but there was a volume adjustment available. I still enjoyed it even without hearing anything.

On the way back to Kailua Pier, I was thrilled to encounter a pod of dolphins by chance.

Third time's the charm! 三度目の正直!

Reviewed by: スカイツリー区民

This was my third participation in two consecutive years. I joined last March and, due to bad weather, I only paid for the lunch box to try again, and this time is my third.

Last time, the sunset was very beautiful, but there were few stars because it was close to a full moon. This time, although I couldn't see the sunset due to bad weather, the starry sky was magnificent near the new moon! I was moved by how many stars there are.

While sitting outside, Mr. Yamauchi explains the stars and shares various stories, but he tends to speak quickly during the star explanations, which is quite disappointing for participants who are not familiar with stars. Since the stars are so beautifully visible, I think it would be a better experience if we could listen to the star stories more slowly and remember them to take home.

二年連続、三度目の参加でした。
昨年の3月に参加し、悪天候のため滞在中にお弁当代のみで再挑戦、そして今回が三度目。
前回はサンセットがとても美しく見えましたが満月近くで星の数が少なく、今回は悪天候でサンセットは見られなかったものの、新月近くで満天の星空!
星ってこんなにあるんだなぁ…と感動しました。

屋外でイスに座って山内さんが星の説明や色々なお話しを聞かせてくれますが、星の説明の時に早口になってしまうのは星に詳しくない参加者にはとても残念です。
せっかく綺麗に星が見えているので、星のお話をもっとゆっくり聞いて覚えて帰れたら、よりよい体験になると思います。

I tend to get so excited that I want to talk about everything and end up speaking quickly. I'll be careful about that. Our company allows for a redo anytime if the stars aren't visible, so you can rest assured!

ついつい興奮してあれもこれも喋ってしまいたく早口になっているのですね~。気をつけますです。うちの会社は星が見えなかったらいつでもリベンジできますので安心です!

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Great Food and cruise on a decent boat

Reviewed by: Justin

My girlfriend and I went on this cruise on Valentines Day and were very happy. We very much enjoyed the food and the cruise itself. There was a wonderful woman giving information on the history of the island and a muscian playing great music. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the boat is not ideal for a romantic cruise. Its just kinda a boat, nothing very nice about it. Overall we were satisfied and felt like we had a great valentines for the money we spent.

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

Not just the stars, but other fun too!☆ 星だけじゃない楽しみも☆

Reviewed by: YHY

This was my first time in Hawaii.
I only participated in this optional tour.
The sunset went by in an instant, but the 360° view of the horizon during sunset was breathtaking!
The starry sky in Maui was filled with so many stars, so close that it was dazzlingly beautiful.
However, what made this tour great was not just the sunset and the starry sky.
It was the guidance of our friendly guide and the drive to the summit of Haleakalā!
I learned a lot about Maui, and the guide helped me when I was struggling with English at the hotel.
Honestly, without this person, my enjoyment of Maui might have been halved (laughs).
And the drive to the summit, which I never even thought about... was so much fun!
We drove above the clouds! I never imagined that (laughs).
The wonderful scenery and the guide's stories made for an enjoyable drive!

However, one thing I thought I should be careful about next time is to take it easy on the day I arrive in Hawaii and rest my body.
I couldn't sleep much on the flight there and was sleep-deprived.
If you want to enjoy Hawaii 100%, I think it's best to have a relaxed schedule on the first day.
Mahalo!

はじめてのハワイでした。
オプショナルツアーは、こちらだけ利用させていただきました。
サンセットはあっという間でしたが、360°ほぼ地平線のサンセットは、圧巻でした!
マウイの星空も、すごくたくさんで、すごく近くて、目がおかしくなるほどの美しいキラメキでした。
ですが、このツアーの良かったところは、サンセットや星空だけでありません。
それは、親切なガイドさんの案内や、ハレアカラ山頂までのドライブです!
マウイのことを、いろいろ教えていただきましたし、ホテルでも英語がわからなくて困っているところを助けていただきました。
ほんとうに、この方がいなければ、マウイの楽しさは半減していたかもしれません(笑)
そして、考えてもいなかった、山頂までのドライブ。。。楽しすぎでした☆
車で、雲の上にいくのですから!そんなこと、思ってもいませんでした(笑)
素晴らしい景色と、ガイドさんのお話で、楽しいドライブになりました!

ただ、次回は気をつけようと思ったのが、
ハワイに着いた日は一日ゆっくりして、体を休めることです。
行きの飛行機では、あまり寝ることができず、寝不足でした。
ハワイを100%楽しむなら、一日目はゆとりのあるスケジュールがいいと思います。
マハロ!

I remember that at first, I couldn't speak any English at all and was wandering around the city in silence. I was looking for a restaurant late at night at the Hilton in Los Angeles, and by chance, an employee at the restaurant was Japanese and, seeing me in need, directed me to the $5 staff cafeteria in the basement of the hotel. Haha, that kindness still stays in my heart. Please come back to Maui anytime!

最初自分も全く英語が出来なくて無口で街を徘徊していたことを覚えています。確かロスアンジェルスのヒルトンで夜中にレストランを探していて、たまたまお店の従業員の方が日本の方で見るに見かねて、ホテルの地階にある5ドルの社員食堂だったと思います。笑 あの優しさは今でも心に残っています。またいつでもマウイに戻ってきてくださいね!

【冬季限定!1/3~3/21】ホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号 1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船!軽食&ドリンク付き<ワイキキ送迎可>

I was able to see a lot of whales! クジラたくさん見れました!

Reviewed by: ぷりん

The pickup car had only us Japanese, and it seemed the driver couldn't speak Japanese, which made us a bit anxious. However, there was a crew member who spoke fluent Japanese and kindly explained the announcements in Japanese, as well as looked after our grandparents who were with us. The children were also treated very kindly. We were able to see whales multiple times and even witnessed them spouting water, which was wonderful.

お迎えの車は日本人は私たちだけでドライバーさんも日本語NGな様子で少し不安になりましたが、船員さんに日本語ペラペラな方がいてアナウンスの内容を日本語で教えてくれたり、一緒に行った祖父母を気づかってくれたり、子どもたちもとても可愛がってもらい親切にしていただきました。
クジラも何回も確認でき潮吹きも見れてもても良かったです。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「チーフズルアウ」豪華ビュッフェディナーと元世界チャンピオンのファイヤーダンスが圧巻のショー<ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ内>

It seems to be a show aimed at Western audiences. 欧米の方向きのショーかな

Reviewed by: ハワイ初心者

Basically, everything is in English. Honestly, we couldn't enjoy it much since we don't understand English. The show is very interactive, with a strong tendency to bring audience members on stage for fun conversations, which might not be suitable for those who want to see Polynesian dance. I think it would be very enjoyable for those who are fluent in English, have a good sense of humor, and are comfortable dancing in front of others. The staff was kind. There were several changes to the pickup location and time since the reservation, but they accommodated us when we informed them that there was a person in a wheelchair.

基本、すべて英語です。英語がわからない我々は正直あまり楽しめませんでした。
ショーも参加型のショーで観客を舞台に上げて楽しく会話をするといった傾向が強く、ポリネシアンダンスを見たいという方には不向きかもしれません。
英語が堪能でノリがよく人前で踊るのも平気という方にはとても楽しいと思います。
スタッフの方は親切でした。
予約時からピックアップ場所や時間が何回か変更になりましたが、車いすの人間がいることを伝えると対応していただけました。

Thank you!! 感謝‼︎

Reviewed by: Hiromi Takagi

I was half in doubt about whether I could really see whales, but I was able to see a mother and baby whale perfectly! The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, and the staff were cheerful and friendly, making conversation and being very kind. At the end, when I mentioned that my husband had forgotten his camera lens on the bus, they responded with great care and arranged to help us find it. I'm really glad I used this tour. My friend is traveling to Hawaii this summer, and I plan to recommend this tour as a reliable option. Thank you very much!

クジラ、本当に見ることが出来るのか、半信半疑でしたが、バッチリ親子クジラを見れました!そして、船は大きくて酔うこともなく、スタッフの方々は明るくて気さくに話しかけてきてくれて、とても親切でした。最後に行きのバスに主人がカメラのレンズを忘れてきてしまったのを伝えると親身に対応してくださり、ちゃんと手配して探してくださいました。このツアーを利用してよかったです。夏にお友達がハワイに旅行に行くのですが、ここのツアーは安心出来るとお勧めするつもりです。本当にありがとうございました。

Be cautious with the meal course. 食事コースには注意

Reviewed by: masayuki

There was supposed to be an explanation in Japanese, but it was only in English. The meal had seasonal fruits, but there was no tea. Overall, it was not good. I recommend the course without meals.

日本語の説明有りとあったが、英語のみだった。
食事は季節のフルーツ、紅茶もなかった。とりあえず、不味い。
食事なしコースがオススメ。
