We had a wonderful time on our whale watching excursion! We were picked up by the bus - it was early/on-time. We made it to the dock, got our picture taken (didn't buy it, it was too pricey!), then on to the boat. The boat was huge and there was plenty of seating inside and on the top deck. We opted out of lunch, which I think was for the best since me and my husband didn't feel that great on the ride out in the open water. But it did look nice and drinks were available for purchase. Once we got out on the water, we started seeing some whale blows and headed more in that direction. We then saw dolphins swimming next to our boat which was just as exciting as seeing the whale! But what was even cooler was once we got closer to the whale, marine biologist said that what we were seeing was the dolphins were playing with the whale, which he hadn't seen in 4 years! He was very informative. We also enjoyed some live music which seemed the bring the whales and dolphins around more! We probably saw about eight whales in all, ten dolphins and one sea turtle. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, aside from feeling a little seasick.

On January 30th, I had high hopes for the season, but unfortunately, I didn't see any whales. I didn't even see any dolphins. The weather was nice, and the cruise itself was good. If you don't see anything, it would be nice to have an option for the next ticket, as some people can go and some cannot, such as offering a "compensation gift."
1/30、時期的にも期待していたが、クジラは残念ながら見られなかった。イルカすら見られなかった。
天気がよく、クルーズ自体は良かった。
見られなかった場合の次の乗船券は行ける人と行けない人がいるので、選択制で「お詫びの品をあげる」等あると良いと思う。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that the whales did not appear. We will share your valuable feedback regarding "offering a token of apology" with our staff and use it as a reference for future improvements. Thank you once again for your patronage.

I was able to see whales from quite a distance. The view of Diamond Head from the ocean was also great, and you can enjoy it even alone. The food was a bit disappointing, so it might be better to eat at the hotel.
かなり遠くですが、クジラ見れました。海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドも良かったし、一人でも楽しめます。

Before departing from Japan, the weather forecast predicted cloudy rain, but it turned out to be sunny, as we say in Japan. The pick-up was smooth, and after boarding, we had a light snack while the captain gave an explanation. Then we had free time and went to the upper deck. After about 20 minutes, the captain announced that we were heading towards 1 o'clock, and we could see the spouting. After that, every 20 minutes or so, we were able to see the spouting and tails, and I was able to take photos with a telephoto lens. On the way back, we were also lucky enough to see dolphins. The boat accommodated 1,500 people, and I didn't feel much rocking, so it was comfortable. The upper deck can be quite windy and chilly, so having a windbreaker would be a good idea.
日本出発前は、曇り雨予報でしたが、結局は、日本でいう晴れでした。送迎もスムーズで、乗船後、軽食を採りながら船長の説明があった後、フリーとなり、屋上デッキへ。20分くらいして船長から1時の方向とアナウンスがあり、潮吹きが見えました。その後も20分くらい置きに、潮吹き、尻尾を見ることができ、望遠レンズで写真も撮れました。帰りには、イルカも見ることが出来、ラッキーでした。船も1500人乗りで、揺れもそんなに感じること無く快適でした。屋上は、風が強く肌寒いので、ウインドブレーカーがあるといいです。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cruise and that the weather was nice.

I had heard that the meeting place was hard to find, but following the guidebook led me there without any issues. We took off our shoes at the beach and climbed the stairs to the catamaran. The waves came in, and my daughter got wet up to her knees. Whether you get wet or not depends on the timing, I guess. The conversation between the cool bartender and the captain was enjoyable, and the music really enhanced the sunset experience. We even saw a whale jump and a big rainbow, which made me feel incredibly happy. It was a tour that definitely deserves the highest ratings from everyone. I would love to participate again if I come back to Hawaii. I think it would be even more fun if I could speak English.
集合場所がわかりにくいと情報から聞いていたのですが、案内書通りにいくと問題なく到着。靴を海岸で脱がされ双胴船の階段登って行きました。波が来て娘は膝上まで濡れてました。濡れる濡れないは、タイミングかな。かっこいいバーテンダーのお姉さんと船長さんの会話も楽しく音楽もサンセットを盛り上げてくれます。鯨のジャンプもみれたし大きな虹も見れすごく幸せな気分でした。みんなが最高と評価するのも当然っておもえるツアーでした。再びハワイに来ても参加したいと思いました。英語が話せるともっと楽しいだろうなあ。

I thought we would be flying on something like a chair, but it was just a rope, which was scary at first, but it was safe. Since there were six groups sharing the ride, the waiting time was long, which is a downside, but the breeze felt nice and it was a good experience. I think taking motion sickness medication is essential because the boat moves quite a bit.
椅子の様なものに乗って飛ぶのかと思ったら、紐だけで最初は怖かったが安全でした。

I visit Hawaii every year, and I make it a must to experience the Friday night fireworks sailing. It's incredibly refreshing, the all-you-can-drink Mai Tais are delicious, and the fireworks are beautifully visible. I prefer this size of yacht over a large boat; you can feel the gentle sway, the wind, and the splashes of water, which really makes you feel like you're in Hawaii.
毎年ハワイに来ていますが、金曜日の花火鑑賞セーリングは必須イベントにしています。最高に爽快で、飲み放題のマイタイも美味しいし、花火もきれいに見えます。セーリングは大型の船より、これぐらいのヨットがいいですね、程よい揺れや、風や水しぶきを感じられるし、ハワイにきている実感が感じられます。

I participated in January and brought a long-sleeved cardigan and a bath towel, but the night on the boat was colder than I expected while barefoot. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, but since I can't drink alcohol, I wasn't in the mood for juice either because it was cold, so I thought it would be nice to have warm beverages available. Aside from the cold, it was truly wonderful, and I would definitely like to participate again if I go during a warmer season. The night view of Waikiki is still etched in my memory. For those sensitive to the cold during this time, I highly recommend dressing warmly.
参加したのは1月で、長袖のカーディガンと、バスタオルを持って行ったのですが、夜の船上は裸足のままで、思ったより寒かったです。
ドリンクも飲み放題でしたが、私はお酒も飲めないので、ジュースも寒くて飲む気分にもなれず、温かい飲み物もあると良いと思いました。
寒さを除けば、とても素晴らしかったので、もっと暖かい時期に行ったら、また是非参加したいと思います。
ワイキキの夜景がまだ目に焼き付いています。
この時期に行く寒さに敏感な方は、思い切り暖かい服装をおすすめします。

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.
For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).
I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.
The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!
港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした(酔い止め薬は必須かと思います)
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見!30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです!

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.
From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.

As we boarded the boat and set off, we spotted dolphins swimming in the distance. I was excitedly wondering if we would see a whale next! I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!
I want to see it again!
船に乗り少しすると遠くの方でイルカが泳いでるのを発見。
次はクジラか⁉︎とワクワクしながら海を眺めましたが、なかなか現れてくれませんでした。
ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを別の角度から見たりしながら、海の上をプカプカ…
とその時、クジラ⁉︎水しぶきが上がっているのを発見しました。
そしてついにクジラの大ジャンプ‼︎
もう一回見たいですね〜

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.
The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.
Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.
The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.
The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

It was really great! The view of Waikiki from the ocean was exceptional. Along the way, a rainbow appeared towards Ala Moana, which really boosted my spirits! The sunset was also perfect! My husband was very satisfied, and when we come to Hawaii again, we will definitely ride again! ^ ^
とても良かったです!海から見るワイキキの街並みは格別でした。途中、アラモアナ方面に虹が現れ、テンション上がりました!サンセットも文句なし!
主人も大満足で、またハワイに来るときは絶対に乗ります^ ^!!
