Satisfied
Reviewed by: Sumei, 2016/01/16My husband and I took our 3 kids and we were quite impressed with how quickly we spotted the whales (we even saw dolphins!). It's safe and a great experience, I would definitely recommend it for families with young children.
Parking is convenient. Check in is across from boat. Prepare for standing and maybe even a little sea sick lol! Don't forget to bring your binoculars!

Whales
Reviewed by: HulaHoney, 2015/09/07I've been on this tour many times. This early morning cruise did not have activities. Normally there is lei making, hula dancing and ukulele lessons.
Whales are hit or miss. I've seen some fantastic activity from this cruise!
Recommended for all, but be warned the morning cruise will not have the additional activities.

Lots of whales!
Reviewed by: M.W., 2015/03/11We were very lucky to see the whales appear numerous times right in front of our window as we were eating our lunch. We chose a table furthest from the buffet line, but it was definitely worth it making the trip. It was a beautiful afternoon, the waves were calm and no body from our party got sea sick. Food was amazing! The ukelele, hula and lei making cultural activities on board gave people of all ages and cultures a chance to experience a taste of Hawaii.

Great day for whale watching near Diamond Head
Reviewed by: AM1, 2014/02/18Went out on the whale watch tour today and we saw 4 whales - 2 large whales together at first and then a mother and calf. They popped up several times during the cruise and saw their tails in the air a few times. They also came quite close to the ship at times. Recommended to do a whale watching tour. Our naturalist onboard (Dez) was knowledgeable about whales and their migration patterns. There is some periods throughout the cruise where you just have to be patient for 10-15 minutes at a time until they pop back up or another whale is spotted but it's worth the wait. The tour felt a little short as I wanted to see more however it was probably the right amount of time. The whales even waved goodbye as we headed off.

Great time
Reviewed by: Cindi Light, 2013/02/22Enjoyed the entire morning activity. Saw several pods of whales and the boat ride itself was fun. Would recommend light sweater as it was very windy!

Whale Watching Lunch Cruise
Reviewed by: Jen, 2012/02/29My husband and I recently went on the Starf Honolulu on a whale watching Cruise. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the boat, we boarded the boat and it was all fun from there. I highly recommend this cruise for anyone. We actually got to see a couple of whales so that made the day even more memorable.

Great Time!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/03/14We went with a group of friends this past Saturday on the Early Bird cruise and it was fabulous! We saw whales pretty much the moment we left the harbor and we got lots of pictures. It wasn't too crowded at all. The ship is very nice, very well maintained and clean. The crew was very friendly and helpful.
I recommend motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. I am, and even though I took it beforehand I still got seasick.
We saw a pod of three whales, dolphins, and albatross. A very neat experience for us and the kids.

Whales everywhere!
Reviewed by: MinnesotaMike, 2010/04/21This cruise was fantastic!! We saw so many whales. The captain did a wonderful job anticipating where they would reemerge. It was fantastic. We initially didn't order the lunch, but we added it, and I firmly recommend that you add it as well. The timing fits in perfectly within the trip and the kids loved eating the plentiful buffet. The activities are fun and there is plenty of room. My daughter made a lei for her mom to wear. Overall a great value and a tremendous time!

No whales but what a ride!
Reviewed by: Missy, 2009/01/21The waves were high. The water was choppy and we LOVED it! No whales but it was so pretty we didn't mind. The rain check is nice. The food was good and we would do it again in a heartbeat.
