This was the first tour we took on our first trip to Hawaii in April of 2016. It was absolutely amazing. We had a good time on the Star of Honolulu except it was rather windy that day. Had a blast, regardless! There were several whale sightings but, not close enough to see them which was disappointing. The breakfast was fantastic. We spent time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos. We would definitely book another cruise when we return again.

I saw the whales' spouts and backs, but I felt a bit of a gap compared to the image I had in mind. However, considering it was a morning cruise off Waikiki, I think it was still quite enjoyable.
クジラの潮吹きや背中は見えましたが、イメージしてるクジラの姿とは少しギャップを感じました。ただ、朝のワイキキ沖クルーズと思えば十分アリかなと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. On days when we encounter active whales, we can see spectacular jumps. Please come back to search for such whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

This was my second time participating. We were the only Japanese people, but even if you can't speak English, they can communicate in simple Japanese, and if you're not allergic to English, I think you can manage with gestures (laughs). I will upload a photo taken when we arrived at the snorkeling point after heading out to sea. The water and sky were both very beautiful and soothing. Life jackets and snorkeling sets (without fins) are included in the cost and are provided for free. This time, we were lucky enough to see three sea turtles! It was late December, but since I was wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, I didn't feel cold and enjoyed it. After snorkeling, free water and snacks (like chips and cookies) are distributed. I had two cups of sparkling water (I think it was $3 each). Payment is made all at once after arrival (I paid $10 including tips). On the way back, the boat rocked so much that it felt like a banana boat, which entertained the passengers (laughs), but the inside of the boat was flooded. There were about two people who seemed to be seasick and were feeling exhausted, but the staff kindly helped them by letting them smell some aromatherapy. I had a great time again. I will definitely participate next time I go to Hawaii!
2回目の参加です。日本人は私達だけですが英語が話せなくても簡単な日本語は話してくれますし、英語アレルギーが無ければ身振り手振りでも何とかなると思います(笑)。沖まで出てシュノーケルポイントに到着した時の写真をアップロードします。海の中も空もとてもキレイで癒されました。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルセット(足ひれ無し)は費用に含まれているので無料で配布されます。今回は運が良くウミガメ3匹を見る事ができました!12月下旬でしたが長袖のラッシュガードを着ている事もあり寒さを感じる事無く楽しめました。シュノーケル後は無料でお水やお菓子(チップスやクッキーなど)が配られます。私は有料のスパークリング(3ドルだったかな?)を2杯もらいました。支払いは到着後まとめて払います(私はチップ込で10ドル払いました)。帰りはバナナボートかと思うくらい大きく揺らして乗客を楽しませてくれたので(笑)船内は大洪水でした。2人位船酔いのようでぐったりしている方がいましたがスタッフの方がアロマを嗅がせたり優しく対応をしていました。今回もとても楽しめました。次回ハワイに行く時も、必ず参加します!!

The overall cruise was extremely disappointing because throughout the entire cruise we saw a single whale spout either 4 or 5 times as it exhaled and a brief cloud of mist was observable for about 2 seconds. Because the spouts were so brief, I only actually saw 2 of them. However, technically, we did see a whale and were not eligible for a free re-booking.
I don't blame Star of Honolulu for the lack of whales - they are wild animals! But, I did expect more from them and am disappointed that seeing mist from a whale for a total of less than 20 seconds in a multi-hour cruise at least 100 yards away is considered a whale sighting.
Other than the lack of seeing whales - which was the entire point of going on the cruise! - the cruise itself is actually pretty good. The employees were very friendly, the food was better than expected (bring your own coffee though), and the views of Oahu from the ocean are gorgeous.
The ship is a bit dated and worn around the edges, but it was clean and offered a lot of indoor and outdoor viewing options. Because there are 4 decks, I never felt like it was crowded even though there were a lot of people on board.

It's best to make reservations at the hotel tour desk, but I casually thought it would be fine. However, this hotel was under renovation and didn't have a tour desk, so I ended up booking through this site at the last minute. On the day of my reservation, it was stated that instead of showing the reservation screen on my phone, I must bring a printed copy, so I arranged for the hotel to receive a fax as instructed. When I checked with the hotel front desk, they replied, "We haven't received it." I hurriedly opened the sending screen again and resent it, and that night I was able to successfully receive the fax from the front desk. If you already know what you want to do while in Japan, I recommend making reservations in Japan and printing them out at home.
I had prepared for the pickup car to be quite late, as mentioned in the reviews, but when it was 7-8 minutes late, the office called the hotel front desk in Japanese to say, "We are delayed due to traffic. We apologize."
The length was 120 meters, and it was a very pleasant and wonderful experience. The boat swayed quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. The staff were friendly and kind. Initially, I thought a tip of $5 per person would be fine, but in the end, I gave $10 per person. The photos were $30, but since we couldn't take them ourselves, we bought them (SD card). It seems it's better to mention upfront that you intend to buy them. The group before us didn't communicate that, so when they checked at the time of purchase, they hadn't taken many photos, which was unfortunate, as mentioned by a Japanese lady in the office. That said, it felt okay not to buy them if you didn't like the photos upon checking.
The driver for the shuttle was very chatty and kept telling us that there would be fireworks at the beach nearby today (Friday) and that we should go see them! We actually went to see the fireworks at night, and it was really great.
ホテルのツアーデスクで予約すればいいや。と気軽に考えていたら、今回のホテルは改装途中でツアーデスクがなく、急遽こちらのサイトで予約しました。
当日は携帯の予約画面を見せるのではなく、プリントアウトしたものを必ず持参するようにと書いてあったので、指示通りホテルにFAXが届くように手配し、ホテルのフロントに確認したところ、「届いてないよ。」との返答。
慌ててもう一度送信画面を開いて送信し、その日の夜に無事フロントからFAXを受け取ることができました。
日本にいる時点でやりたいことが決まっている方は日本で予約して自分の家でプリントアウトすることをオススメします。
迎えの車がかなり遅れると書き込みにあったので、覚悟していたのですが、7〜8分遅れた時点でオフィスからホテルのフロントに日本語で「渋滞で遅れています。申し訳ありません。」という電話がきまし
た。
長さは120mでしたが、とっても気持ちがよく素晴らしい体験ができました。
船はかなり揺れますので、酔い止めは必須。
スタッフも気さくで優しく、最初チップは1人5
ドルでいいかなー。と思っていたのですが、結局1人10ドル渡しました。
写真も30ドルですが、自分たちでは撮れないので買いました。(SDカード)
買うつもりの方は最初に買うつもりがある。と言っておいた方がいいみたいです。
私たちの前の回の方は、それを伝えていなかったので買う時点で確認したらあまりたくさん撮ってくれてなくて可哀想だった。と事務所にいる日本人のおばさまが言ってました。
とはいえ、写真を確認してあまり気にいらなかったら買わなくても大丈夫な雰囲気でした。

I participated with my friend's family, and as we got closer to the area, we were able to see the spouts several times. However, since we were only able to see the spouts from quite a distance, the kids started saying it was "boring."
Just when I thought we probably wouldn't see any jumps like those in the photos, the whales put on a fantastic show.
We were able to see all the whale behaviors listed on the ship, and we were very satisfied. Both the kids and the parents were thrilled to finish the tour. I know that since they are living creatures, it might not be like this every time.

This was so much fun! It felt amazing! It was a coincidence that all six couples on board were honeymooners, with four Japanese couples and one foreign couple (laughs). Since we were there, we asked for some photos. They took a lot of pictures, from the moments when we were flying to the splashdown, and even the view of Waikiki from the sea (laughs). I was unsure about the height but decided on 120 meters. I felt like there wasn't much difference between 120 and 150. In the end, 120 meters was high enough, and I was very satisfied. I think I would do it again next time!
However, the car to pick us up from the hotel never arrived... I got anxious and had the hotel concierge call. In the end, the pickup arrived around the time the boat was supposed to leave... The timing was quite vague. Strangely, the return time was as scheduled, though.
これ、とても楽しかったです!めちゃくちゃ気持ちいい!日本人カップル4組と外国人カップル1組、乗ってる全員がハネムーナーという奇遇でした(笑)せっかくなので私たちは写真もお願いしました。飛んでる時もボチャンする瞬間も、海から見たワイキキの風景まで(笑)たくさん写真を撮ってくれました。高さは迷いましたが120mにしました。120も150もあまり変わらないような気がして。結果120mでも充分高く大満足です。次回行ってもまたすると思います!
ただ、ホテルへの迎えの車が全然来ず…不安になって、ホテルのコンシェルジュに電話してもらいました。結局迎えに来たのは船が出る時間くらいでした…。時間はかなりアバウトですね。不思議と帰りの時間は予定通りでしたけど。

I didn't see any whales, sea turtles, or dolphins at all. I would appreciate some further explanation regarding the inability to see whales. I believe there was only audio recording, and there were no special announcements. They were distributing tickets for reboarding the next day to those who wanted them, but I couldn't use them due to other plans. Although there is a policy that refunds are not available, I think it would be nice to have some consideration, such as a souvenir, in case we didn't see anything.

I experienced this on the same day I arrived in Hawaii.
First, the meeting point was hard to find (there are quite a few similar boats), so I walked quite a bit on Waikiki Beach. You enter the water when boarding. There is a risk of sandals without heels being swept away (a child's sandal was lost).
With unlimited drinks and loud music, I thought it might be a young crowd, but families with children were also there, and other guests were friendly and chatted with us (though it might depend on the boat). We had a great time. There were no other Japanese people besides us.
Although it's always summer in Hawaii, the night cruise was cold. I recommend bringing a jacket.
I was hesitant to use the restroom, but I couldn't hold it due to the cold and ended up using it. It's an interesting restroom that you enter by going down a ladder. It's very cramped, and I didn't know how to lock it. It wasn't too dirty, and the smell wasn't bothersome.
The fireworks viewed from the sea were exceptional. The night view was also very beautiful, but the ocean was pitch dark.
Next time, I would like to try the sunset cruise as well.
ハワイに到着したその日に体験しました。
まず、集合場所がわかりづらく(同じような船がけっこうある)ワイキキビーチをかなり歩きました。乗船する際に海に入ります。かかとのないサンダルは流される危険ありです(子供のサンダルが流されました。)
お酒飲み放題で音楽がガンガンかかっていて、若者のノリかとも思いましたが、子連れファミリーでもほかのお客さんが気さくに話しかけてくれたり(その時の船によるでしょうが)、とても楽しめました。日本人は私たち以外にはいませんでした。
常夏のハワイですが、ナイトクルーズは寒かったです。上着を持つことをお勧めします。
トイレはなるべく使用したくないな~と思っていましたが、冷えのせいか我慢できず使用しました。梯子を下りて入る面白いトイレです。とにかく狭い。鍵のかけかたがわからない。それほど汚くはなくにおいも気になりませんでした。
海から見る花火は格別でした。夜景もとてもきれいでしたが、海は真っ暗です。
次回はサンセットクルーズも乗ってみたいです。

On the last morning, I went parasailing at 120 meters!! (I signed up during my stay the day before, so it's recommended for those who want to add plans at the last minute.) They pick you up directly at the hotel entrance, which is convenient. The cheerful driver was cracking jokes and saying funny phrases while driving (laughs). The morning parasailing was the best!! We signed up as a family of three, and we were able to experience flying together! (^o^) The other participants were also Japanese, so we all took photos together!! They recommended taking photos for $30, but when everyone declined, the photographer joked around (laughs). When landing, they asked if we wanted to splash into the sea, but when I said I didn't want to get too wet, they just dipped my toes lightly into the sea before landing on the boat!

I participated in the 110-meter plan early in the morning. I was a bit anxious because the pickup location was not at the hotel, but the bus arrived on time, so I quickly felt reassured.
There were 10 participants, including the two of us. Among the staff and customers, we were the only Japanese. There were also small children around 3 years old and some participants who came alone.
Even without being able to speak English, I was able to enjoy parasailing easily without any difficulties! At 110 meters, it wasn't as high as I thought, and there was no fear at all. The view and the breeze from above the sea were very pleasant.
Since it was an activity that small children could enjoy, I definitely want to challenge it again in the future when my family grows!

While waiting at the bus stop near the hotel where we were staying, I started to feel a bit anxious when the bus didn't arrive at the scheduled time. However, about ten minutes later than planned, a blue van appeared, and I felt relieved as I got inside.
Inside the van, a foreigner in the front seat handed me a waiver to sign. It made me a little uneasy that everyone else in the van, except for my husband and me, was a foreigner.
When we arrived at the boat dock, we were guided to a counter with a sign that read "Extreme Parasailing." There, I showed them the voucher I had printed out, and after receiving the okay, we boarded the boat shortly after. On the boat were just the two of us, a Canadian family of two, and a family of five whose nationality was unclear. As we listened to them, we realized we were the first ones up, so we hurried to get our life jackets ready. The boat sped off to the parasailing launch point, and it turned out we were indeed the first ones. We moved to the front of the boat and prepared ourselves. Finally, we took off into the sky.
I’m not great with the feeling of falling, but once I was up in the air, it was smooth sailing, and I felt like I was floating. When we reached 150 meters, the boat below looked quite small, and I wondered if I would be able to land safely, which made me a bit scared. However, the view from up there was absolutely beautiful. In front of me was Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, and when I turned around, I could see planes flying. The ocean looked a deep blue. When it was time to descend, it felt like we were gradually coming down, and I wasn’t scared at all. Just as we got close to the boat, I was splashed into the sea, which felt refreshing. The driver was very skilled.
Afterward, the next two customers had their turn, but the family of five who had come together seemed to have someone who got scared watching our 150-meter parasailing, or perhaps they got seasick; I’m not sure. They ended up canceling their parasailing experience. I thought it was a bit of a shame, but we had a great time, so it was no problem for us. In the end, we paid $30 for the photo data (SD card) and tipped before finishing up. If I get the chance again, I would definitely love to experience it once more.

バスの中で前の席の外国人から、免責同意書を渡され、名前を書きました。バンの中は、私たち夫婦以外はすべて外国人で少々不安になりました。
ボートの発着所に着くと、エキストリーム・パラセイルという看板の書かれた窓口まで案内され、そこでコピーしてもっていったバウチャーを見せ、無事OKをもらい、しばらくしてボートに乗り込みました。ボートに乗っていたのは、私たち夫婦2人、カナダ人の親子2人、国籍は不明ですが外国人の家族5人でした。話しを聞いていると、私たち2人が最初だよと、急いでライフジャケットの準備。ボートでパラセイリングの開始地点まで走らせると、私たちがやはり最初のようで、ボートの前の方へ移動し、準備。いざ、空へ出発。
落ちるという感覚が大の苦手な私ですが、一度空に上がってしまえば順調に上に行き、プカプカ空に浮いている感覚でした。150mまで到達したときは、下のボートかなり小さく見えて、ちゃんと降りられるかな?と思い怖かったです。でも、空から見える景色は本当にきれいでした。目の前にはワイキキのビーチとダイヤモンドヘッド、後ろを振り返ると、飛行機が飛んでいるのが見えました。海が深い青色に見えました。降りるときはちょっとずつ下に下がる感じで、ほとんど怖くありませんでした。ただ、ボートまで近づいてきた時に、じゃぼっと海の中に落とされました。それもまた気持ちよかったです。ちょっとだけ海につける腕前。運転手さん(?)、上手です。
その後、次の2名のお客さんが体験しましたが、5名の家族で来ていたお客さんは、私たちの150mのパラセイリングを下で見ていて怖くなった人がいたのか、はたまた、船酔いしてしまったのか、良くわかりませんが、パラセイリングをすることをキャンセルしていました。ちょっともったいないなと思いつつ、私たちはとても楽しめたので、問題はありませんでした。最後に、写真のデータ(SDカード)代30ドル、チップを渡して終わりました。また機会があったら、ぜひ、もう一度体験したいです。

I experienced the 150m flight. There were also a newlywed Japanese couple and three foreign families with us. It was a windy day, and the boat was rocking a lot with splashes of water until we got out to sea. I thought I might get seasick. Since you get wet, wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel are essential. Given how much it rocked, I wished they had made us wear life jackets from the start.
After regaining my composure, we took off into the sky at an angle that felt almost perpendicular to the boat, and it was higher and more beautiful than I had imagined! The flight lasted about five minutes, which was a bit short, but just before returning to the boat, there was a little surprise performance that was fun. The sea viewed from 150m up was sparkling beautifully in the light.
Overall, it was a lot of fun! Since you get very wet, I recommend planning your schedule so that you can return to the hotel afterward.
150mを体験しました。
他には日本人の新婚のカップルと3人の外国の家族連れの方がいました。
風が強い日で、沖に出るまでの船のゆれと水しぶきがすごかったです。船酔いするかと思いました。
濡れてしまうので水着とタオルは必須です。
あんなに揺れるのであれば最初から
ライフジャケットを着せてほしかったです。
気を取り直して、空へと飛び立つと
船と直角じゃないかという角度で上がり、
想像していたよりも高く景色もよくて感動しまし
た!時間は五分程度と少し短めでしたが、
船に戻る直前にはちょっとしたサプライズ
演出もあり楽しかったです。150mの上空
から見る海は光があたりきらきらとしてい
てとてもきれでした。
総合的にはとっても楽しかったです!
すごく濡れますので、終わったらホテルに
帰れるスケジュールで組むのがおすすめです。

We spotted a whale a little offshore!! The captain quickly turned the boat, and we were able to see it multiple times. I was particularly moved by the sight of two whales swimming together, following the boat's stern.
少し沖に出た所でくじら発見!! 船長さんが機転をきかして船は旋回し、何度も何度も見ることができました。特に船の船尾を二頭揃って追尾して泳ぐ姿には感動した。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe whales multiple times during your trip. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

The sunset/cocktail cruise was a blast. Captain and ship mate were great. Made the trip fun and exciting!! Got some great shots of the beach from the boat and the sunset was AMAZING! So cool seeing it from atop the deep blue. Definitely recommend it for a fun night away from the hustle bustle of Waikiki. Great bang for you buck!! (try the maitai with champagne...but be careful...they are dangerous!)

After about a 30-minute voyage from the port to offshore Waikiki, the whale watching began. For the first 30 minutes, there were no whales in sight at all. After that, we spotted tails and spouts about five times, with intervals of 5 to 15 minutes. Although we didn't see any spectacular jumps, we were able to see the whales.
The view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from offshore is truly breathtaking. The curry rice for lunch was very Japanese, and while the variety was limited, the other dishes were delicious as well. The waves offshore Waikiki weren't high, but since we slowed down to drift between the waves while searching for whales, some people did experience seasickness.
港からワイキキ沖まで30分ほど航海して、クジラウォッチングが始まります。最初の30分ほどはまったくクジラが見当たりませんでした。その後、5分から15分間隔で、尾ひれや潮吹きが5回ほど見られました。豪快にジャンプをするところはありませんでしたが、なんとかクジラを見ることができました。
沖合いから見るワイキキのホテルやダイアモンドヘッドは本当に絶景です。ランチのカレーライスも日本的で、品数は少ないですが他の料理も美味しいです。ワイキキ沖は波は高くありませんが、クジラを見つけるのに速度を落として波間を漂うので、船酔いする人もいました。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. It seems that the other people on the same tour also only caught a glimpse, but couldn't see them clearly. The view of the beach and Diamond Head from the sea is beautiful, so I think it's a good tour for first-time visitors to Hawaii. However, for those who have been there multiple times, it might feel a bit lacking.
ホエール見れなくて残念でした。
同じツアーの方も、見えたかも?ぐらいでハッキリとは見えなかったようです。
ビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを海から見る景色は良いので、ハワイに初めて行く人にはいいツアーだと思います。
何度も行っている人には物足りないと思いました。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to clearly observe the whales this time. Please do come back to search for whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
