Hawaii
This was the best tour we’ve ever been on! Marie was fantastic and a wealth of really interesting knowledge! We all learned so much history and she took us to many great sights! Highly recommend Blue Hawaii tours!
Just do it! You will not be disappointed!
Aloha Lana,
Thank you for your review. I'm so happy you enjoyed your tour.

I participated in February. At first, I was really wondering if I would be able to see them, but I was able to see four of them! When we went out to sea, they stopped the boat's engine and drove slowly and quietly, which allowed us to see two of them up close. I was moved by their size. They seemed to be playing together, possibly a mother and her child or siblings.
Before heading out to sea, we listened to explanations about safety and the characteristics and ecology of humpback whales inside the boat. I read in reviews that there would be staff who spoke Japanese, but it seemed there weren't any when we participated. I was with a friend who spoke English, so she briefly explained the content to me, but I thought it would be nicer if there were written explanations in various languages available (though I could generally understand without them).
The pineapple cake served as a snack was delicious, and I ended up asking for a second helping!
2月に参加しました。初めは本当に見ることができるのかなあと思っていましたが、4頭、本当に見ることができました！ 沖に出ると船のエンジン？を止めてゆっくり静かに運転してくれて、それによってそのうち2頭はすぐ間近で見ることができ、大きさを目の当たりにして感動しました。親子なのか兄弟なのか、2頭で遊んでいるようでした。
出航後沖に出るまでは、船内で、安全についての説明やザトウクジラの特徴や生態についての説明を聞きます。日本語が話せるスタッフがいると口コミに書かれていましたが、私たちが参加した際はいないようでした。英語が話せる友人と一緒だったので、彼女に内容を簡単に教えてもらいましたが、各言語の説明書きなどが置いてあるとより親切かなと思いました。（なくても大体分かりますが）
サービスのパイナップルケーキが美味しくて、おかわりしてしまいました！
The air conditioning inside the ship is effective, but on the deck, the direct sunlight and reflection from the sea are strong, so I think it's good to have something to wear over your clothes and sun
船内は冷房が効いているのと、デッキの上は直射日光と海上からの照り返しが強いので、羽織るものとサングラスがあるといいと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your friends. We're glad you were able to see four whales. We're also pleased to hear that you enjoyed the snacks on board. Please do visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
この度は私共のクルーズにお友達とお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測それも４頭も見れて良かったですね。船内での軽食も楽しんで頂き嬉しく思っております。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

We went all the way to Diamond Head and anchored for a long time near Waikiki Beach. They said there were whales, but even after anchoring for almost an hour, we couldn't see any. It's said that whale breathing lasts 20 to 40 minutes, so if they were nearby, we should have been able to see them... I felt the same while looking from the hotel at Waikiki Beach. From this point, it seems like you could see them with a telescope from places like the Hyatt & Beach or Sheraton.
ダイアモンドの先まで行き、ワイキキビーチ行きで長く停泊。クジラがいるということでしたが、1時間近く停泊したが見えなかった。
クジラの呼吸は20〜40分と言われているため、近くにいるなら見えるはずだが…。
ワイキキビーチ沖ではホテルから眺めても同じと感じた。 このポイントならHYATT&Beachやシェラトンなどからなら望遠鏡で見えそうです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. While it was unfortunate that you didn't see any whales on this trip, I am confident that you enjoyed the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat during the morning cruise. Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
今回のクルーズでクジラが見られなかったのは残念でしたが、朝のクルーズでのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの船上からの眺めは楽しめて頂いたかと確信しております。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。

Although the clouds and full moon made it difficult to see a beautiful sunset and a starry sky, Yamapi's thoughtfulness and conversation were excellent. I definitely want to try again.
雲が多いのと満月で綺麗な夕日や満天の星空は残念でしたが、ヤマピーさんのお心遣いと会話は最高でした。又是非トライしたいと思います
This tour is recommended on dark nights in July and August. Additionally, there is a smoking area at the summit, which is appreciated by smokers, but only if a fire is lit.
このツアーは7月8月で闇夜の日がお勧めです。それと喫煙者にはありがたい山頂にも喫煙所はあります。但し火が点けばですが。

The way this show was organized and put together was amazing. We enjoyed every aspect of the show. They made it feel like you were a part of the performance the entire time. The only reason I gave the good rating was because the photographer didn't take enough time arranging our family of 17 so you could see everyone in the photo. Also she quickly snapped the two pictures before we were ready so eyes were closed in both pictures. We also wanted individual family photos and she wouldn't do it for us. She would have made more money by all of us buying a photo package. The food was OK, it was a little cold and the pork was dried out.
Plan extra time to get there from Waikiki. Traffic is terrible.
It included transportation, but since it didn't stop at our hotel, we walked to the hotel across the street. The large bus arrived on time and took us to the boarding area!
As soon as we got off the bus, we boarded the boat and took some commemorative photos! Later, a staff member came around to show us the pictures they took! We decided to purchase one as a keepsake (laughs). Then, we enjoyed the breakfast we had been looking forward to. The morning coffee was really great!
Inside the boat, the air conditioning was on, so I think short sleeves might feel a bit cold.
We received an explanation about the whales from the captain and headed to the deck! The blue of the ocean was something you can't feel in Japan, and the view of Waikiki getting farther away! Plus, Diamond Head was clearly visible! I was already satisfied with just that.
And on that day, we were able to see whales! In fact, multiple times!!! We even encountered a mother and baby whale! There is a limit to how close you can get, so they were a bit far, but we could still see them!
The captain announced the direction of the whales, so everyone moved in unison to follow the report. Even if you don't understand English, you'll be fine just following everyone!
Before we knew it, it was time to disembark, and we took the bus back to the hotel.
Personally, I thought it was really great! It was nice to relax on the boat in the Hawaiian sea, and seeing the whales was truly moving! Since it was a large boat, I don't think you would get seasick (but it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case).
There were plenty of restrooms! They weren't super clean, but it was totally fine! I want to go again!
送迎付きでしたが、自分たちのホテルには止まらなかったので向かい側にあるホテルまで歩きました🌴時間通りに大型バスが迎えに来てくれて、乗り場まで連れてってくれました！
バスに降りてすぐに船に乗り、まずは記念撮影！後ほど、係の人が回ってきて撮った写真を見せてくれます！私たちは記念に購入しました（笑）そして、楽しみにしてた朝食をいただきました🍍朝のコーヒーがめちゃくちゃよかったです☕️
船の中はクーラーがかかっていたので半袖は少し寒いと思います。
船長からクジラの説明を受け、デッキへ！
日本では感じられない海の青さ、遠くなっていくワイキキの街並み！そしてダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見える！これだけで満足でした😆
そしてこの日はクジラを見ることができました！しかも何回も！！！🐳親子のクジラにも遭遇しました！近づける範囲が決まってるので若干遠くはありますが見える！！！
船長が◯時の方向だよとアナウンスしてくれるので、みんなその報告を受けて一斉に移動📢英語がわからなくてもみんなについていけば大丈夫です！！！
あっという間に下船になり、バスに乗ってホテルへ戻りました。
個人的にはめちゃくちゃよかったです！とにかくハワイの海で船に乗りながらのんびりできたのもよかったし、クジラも見れて感動しました！大きな船なので船酔いもしないかなと思います！（一応酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が🙆♀️）
トイレもたくさんありました！すごく綺麗なわけではないですが、全然大丈夫です！また行きたいです🌴🤙
Surprisingly, it's cold inside the ship! You'll need something to wear over your clothes!
意外と船内は寒い！羽織るもの必要！
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed observing the mother and baby whales and the views from the boat.

I've been to Hawaii nearly 20 times, and until now, my visits were primarily for golfing. However, as I've gotten older (79 years old) and my companions have diminished, this time I went with my wife and two of her friends.
At the women's request, we went whale watching for the first time. I couldn't understand the guide's English, but I could feel the boat's determination to chase after the whales. Unfortunately, we couldn't encounter them up close, but we did catch a glimpse of a black whale breaching in the distance, along with a faint spout of water.
While I wasn't completely satisfied, the anticipation was definitely there. On the way back, the sight of the white waves crashing against the coastline of the Big Island was a breathtaking view that you can't see from the ground. However, the boat's light snack was just a single pasta dish, which was disappointing.
ハワイは20回近くいっていますが、今まではゴルフ目的でしたが、歳を重ね(79歳)同伴者がいなくなり今回は妻と妻の友達２人でした。
女性陣の希望で初めてホエールウォッチングをしました。
ガイドは英語で理解出来ませんでしたが、船は懸命にクジラを追っているな感じは伝わって跳ねるきましたが、近くでの遭遇出来ず、遠くで微かに吹き上がる潮と跳ねる黒いクジラが一瞬見られました。
大満足は出来ませんでしたが、期待感は十分でした。
帰路船からみるハワイ島の海岸に打ち上げてある白い波しぶきは地上では見られない迫力ある光景でした。
船の軽食はパスタが一品だけで期待ハズレでした。
Before boarding, there is a process to input personal information into the computer, which took some time. Therefore, I think it's best to arrive with plenty of time before your boarding time.
乗船前に個人情報等をＰＣに入力する作業があり、時間がかかりましたので、乗船時間は余裕を持って行かれると良いと思います。
ご参加いただき、初めてのクジラ観察の冒険を共にしていただき、ありがとうございます。また、体験を共有していただき、心より感謝申し上げます。ビッグアイランドの海岸線の素晴らしい景色を楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思いますが、クジラの目撃は時には距離があることもあることを理解しています。これらの素晴らしい生き物は自然の生息地で自由に動いていますので、私たちは誇り高いNOAA準拠のツアーオペレーターとして、クジラの安全と健康を確保するために、少なくとも100ヤードの距離を保ちながら、最高の観賞機会を提供しています。
スナックの提供についてのご意見も感謝いたします。お客様の体験を向上させるために、常に努力しているため、今後の参考にさせていただきます。ボディグローブクルーズをお選びいただき、ありがとうございます。またの冒険でお迎えできることを楽しみにしています！
Thank you for joining us on your first whale-watching adventure and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your visit and your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the stunning views of the Big Island’s coastline, we understand that whale sightings can sometimes be at a distance, as these magnificent creatures move freely in their natural habitat. As a proud NOAA-compliant tour operator, we respectfully maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from whales to ensure their safety and well-being while providing the best viewing opportunities possible.
We also appreciate your feedback on the snack offerings and will take it into consideration as we continually strive to enhance our guest experience. Mahalo for choosing Body Glove Cruises, and we hope to welcome you aboard again for another adventure!

I participated with excitement, knowing that whales come to the waters off Hawaii only during the winter months for calving and raising their young. I was able to see the baby whales a few times! However, they were far away and small, and it was just for a moment, so if I could wish for more, I would have loved to see them even more. Nevertheless, the weather was great, and the cruise itself was very comfortable, allowing me to have the best time. Thank you to all the staff!
鯨が出産、子育てにハワイ沖に来る冬の時期だけということで、ワクワクしながら参加しました。
赤ちゃんを何度か見ることができました！でも遠くて小さい、しかも一瞬なので、欲を言えばもっともっと見たかったです。
ですがお天気もよく、クルーズ自体がとても快適で、最高の時間を過ごすことができました。スタッフのみなさん、ありがとう！
Since I tend to get seasick, I took some motion sickness medication before boarding, but the boat was large and stable, so I had no issues at all. I might not have needed the medication after all.
船酔いするタイプのため酔い止めを飲んで挑みましたが、船が大きく安定していて全く問題ありませんでした。酔い止めはいらなかったかもしれません。

This was my third trip to Hawaii, and for the first time, I participated in a solo trip. The large bus arrived right on time at the Sheraton hotel 🚌. This time, the tour was made up entirely of international guests.
When we boarded the Star of Honolulu, the captain welcomed us. There was a photo opportunity with the crew as we entered the ship. Later, the crew developed the photos and offered them for sale. I think it was around $26. Many people chose not to buy them, but I purchased one as a keepsake. By the way, they only accept credit cards.
Once on board, I quickly enjoyed some drinks and light snacks. There was a booklet with explanations about whales in Japanese, which I skimmed through, followed by an explanation from the captain about the whales. As the ship set sail, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was absolutely wonderful.
After a while, the captain announced over the intercom, "There are whales at the direction of ◯ o'clock (in English)," and everyone hurriedly pointed their cameras to look. Fortunately, we encountered a mother and calf whale. It was a bit disappointing that we only saw them spouting water and didn’t get to see any larger movements, but just being able to encounter them was great. I made sure to capture it on video.
We were blessed with beautiful weather, making it the best cruising experience!
ハワイ渡航歴3回目にして、初めてひとり旅で参加。シェラトンのホテルまで大型バスが時間きっちり到着🚌
今回は海外の方ばかりのツアーでした。
スターオブホノルル号乗船の時に船長が出迎え。
船内に入る際にクルーから記念撮影があります。
後でクルーが現像してくれて販売してくれます。たしか26$だったかな。
買わない人が多かったですが、私は記念に購入。
ちなみにクレジットカードのみです。
船内に入って早速飲み物と軽食をいただきました。日本語のクジラの説明などが書いた冊子がありさらっと読んだ後、船長からクジラに関する説明。
船が出航し、海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもよかったです。
しばらくすると、船長が船内放送で「◯時の方向にクジラがいます(英語)」と放送されるとみんな慌ててカメラを向けて探します。
運良く親子のクジラに遭遇できました。

I was anxious about whether we would be able to see anything, but the captain explained everything in detail, and we were all moved to be able to go see it together. The banana coconut cake was delicious, and the kids were satisfied after eating it and seeing the whales. I thought it might be expensive, but we were satisfied with the boat, the cake, and the coffee, and we made wonderful memories in Hawaii.
見れるかわからないと不安だったけど、キャプテンが、細かく教えてくれて、みんなで見に行けて感動した。
バナナココナッツケーキが美味しくて、子供達は食べてクジラも見れて満足していた。高いかなと思ったけど、船もケーキとコーヒーも満足でハワイのいい思い出ができた
When we boarded, the Japanese were desperately trying to get window seats, but in the end, everyone moves around when going to see the whales, so there's no need to secure a seat desperately.
乗り込んだ時日本人は窓側の席を必死で取ろうとしてたけど、結局クジラを見に行く時はみんな移動するので、席を必死に確保しなくて大丈夫

The large ship was stable with little rocking, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The pineapple banana bread at breakfast was very delicious.
We were able to see whales swimming several times, and the scenery was wonderful.
The ship's staff were very kind, and although it was a two-hour cruise, we were able to spend it comfortably.
It was a spacious ship, and those in wheelchairs were able to board without any issues, and there were also many families with small children.

If you are unable to see whales, you can reboard on another day. When you go out on the deck, the wind and sunlight can be strong, so it's a good idea to take precautions, like using clips, to prevent

The reception started at 8:00, boarding was from 8:45, and the schedule for departure was set, but the reception was quite relaxed, so arriving around 8:30 is safe. Just showing the reservation confirmation email was enough.
The cabin was quite spacious. Seats near the windows are popular, so if you prefer a window seat, it's best to line up early for boarding. The pineapple banana bread that came with the service was really delicious, and I had a second helping. Coffee, tea, and water were also available for free.
As for the whales, I was able to see them more times than I expected! However, they appeared small and far away (due to a Hawaiian treaty that prohibits getting too close to marine life. It's okay if the whales come close to you, and if you're lucky, you might see them up close). So, it's important to listen carefully to the captain's announcements like "You can see a whale in the direction of 〇〇 o'clock."
The captain also announced when sea turtles were swimming by, but I couldn't spot them.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was able to make good use of the morning time, which was very nice.
8:00受付開始、8:45〜乗船、出航のスケジュールでしたが、受付はかなりゆるいので、8:30くらいに間に合うように行けば安心です。予約完了メールを見せるだけでOKでした。
客室内はかなり広いです。窓付近の席は人気なので、窓側がいい方は早めに並んで乗船した方が◎。サービスでついてくるパイナップルバナナブレッドがかなりおいしく、おかわりしました。コーヒー、紅茶、お水もフリーで飲むことができました。
肝心のホエールですが、思っていたより何度か見れました！ただ、船から遠いところで小さめに見えた（ハワイの条約で海の生物に近寄ってはいけないそうです。クジラなどから近寄ってくれるのはOKで、運が良ければすごく近くでみれるかも？）ので、「◯時の方向にクジラが見えます」など、キャプテンのアナウンスをしっかり聞いて見る必要があります。
ウミガメも泳いでいると度々キャプテンがアナウンスしていましたが、私はどこにいるか確認できず見れませんでした。
海がとにかく綺麗でした。朝の時間が有効活用できたのでとてもよかったです。
The plan with transportation costs $21 per person, so depending on the number of people, it might be cheaper to take an Uber. The ship has air conditioning, so it would be good to wear adjustable clot
送迎付きプランは1人につき21ドル〜かかるため、人数によってはUberした方が安いかもしれません。

Yoshi was absolutely amazing! From the prompt pick up, the hospitality (tea, snacks) and the amazing knowledge, this is a tour I will always remember. Words can’t express how awesome being at that height and seeing the stars as you stand above the clouds was. Yoshi knew and shared so much and even had coats and gloves for us all as it does get cold at that height. He even showed us how to adjust the settings on our phones to timelapse and take great pictures. 1000% recommend Yoshi and this tour if you want to experience something breathtaking.
Absolutely fabulous!
Dancers were amazing. Musicians and singers . Loved it all!
This was the second stargazing tour guided by Yamapi in 2023. It seems that visitors to Maui have returned after the Lahaina wildfire in August 2023, as the area near the summit was crowded, but we were able to fully enjoy the great nature and the starry sky in a fantastic location. We also enjoyed donuts and coffee, and I was once again impressed by the kind explanations and support from Mr. Yamauchi, a veteran of the stargazing tour. This is an highly recommended optional tour for anyone traveling to Maui.

First, before departure, we enjoyed drinks and delicious cake, followed by an explanation from the captain, and soon after, we set sail. As soon as we departed, I went up to the deck and was greeted by the stunning views of Waikiki that are usually not visible. With explanations from the captain in Japanese, we were able to see whales about five times from various angles: the front of the boat, the port side, and the starboard side. It was a quick two hours that flew by.
まず、出航前にドリンクと美味しいケーキ、そして船長からの説明があり、程なくすると出航です。
出航してからすぐにデッキにあがり、普段見ることができないワイキキの景色が目に入ります。船長からの説明および日本語で説明を受け、船の前方、左舷、右舷様々な角度からクジラを５回ほどみることができました。
アッとゆう間の２時間でした。
On the ship, there is wind, so a windbreaker would be best.

The probability of not seeing whales is said to be low, but when you go for a revenge trip, there is no shuttle service, so using a bus or similar means will be cheaper.

I arranged for a pickup to the port, making the travel easy.
After the ship set sail, I enjoyed the view from the boat and thought, "I wonder if they'll come out today? When will they come out?" I had seen something like a spout once, so I was hopeful, but they didn't show up for a while. Just when I thought it was over, they jumped out in succession.
I'm really glad I got to see them. I appreciate the captain for extending the trip a bit since they came out towards the end!

It is said that they can be seen from January to March, but February is a good month as many babies are born and families spend time together.
1月から3月まで見られるそうですが、2月は赤ちゃんが生まれて親子、家族でいることが多いらしく、良い月とのことです。

We celebrated my birthday on this sunset cruise. It was a well organized event. Wonderful entertainment and the food was excellent. Our table was on the side of stage so we did not have the best view for picture taking. So much fun, beautiful views, I highly recommend.
I took a special By One Get One ticket deal for the early bird whale watching tour and it was phenomenal. We had the pleasure of standing by the naturalist, Alyssa for most of the trip and she was very informative and a joy to be around. We saw a momma and her calf breach, and several fluke tail breach’s. The star itself had a ton of space to allow families to spread out and was clean. What a great experience!
Get the BOGO and make sure to park at pier 5&6 for free parking
Our experience on the boat was fantastic! The vessel was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The service was exceptional—staff members were attentive, frequently checking in to offer drinks and clear dishes. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend it!
Thanks so much for joining us and the five star review! We hope your travels have you visiting us again in the near future.
The Star of Honolulu crew knows exactly what they are doing. The night before our trip they called to ensure that we knew exactly where to begin our adventire. At 200 feet, the Star is steady in the morning sea. The crew is knowledgeable and helpful. We were given a brief lesson in whale anatomy, diet, and behavior before we set out. We understood the challenges and likely outcomes of our trip. We did see whales. We would have liked to have seen more, but we were well prepared for the visit we received. This was a a grest start to our vacation
We had the Star crew pick us up at our hotel. It was a stress free value.
As soon as we boarded, we had banana bread and coffee. It was really delicious! We were able to see whales about four times. They were a bit far away, though!
乗船してすぐにバナナブレッド、コーヒーをいただきました。すごくおいしかったです！
クジラは4回ほど見ることができました。遠目ではありましたが、、！
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the light snacks. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

What a great night the staff and cast were so kind. It was very entertaining. My nine-year-old said it was the best night she had in Hawaii highly recommend.
Have our own private table and food was good. Have freedom to go topside and had our dinner for the fire works. Second time doing this and would do it again.
