2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Such great fun! And what a bargain!

Reviewed by: Mrs. Means

My husband & I are in Oahu in our honeymoon and we saw this and had to book it. The staff is so friendly and helpful! We sat on the nets, which going there was fun and what you would expect, but after snorkeling they take you sailing for a unique look at the island, but beware if you are sitting on the net..you WILL get soaked...but it truly is so much fun! They take you to the reef where turtles go to go their backs cleaned by fish. My recommendation when you swim to watch the turtles is to hang out on the side of the group. Most people will huddle over the turtles, but the have to come up for air, so if you are not in the chunk of people you will get a closer look because they will head your way for air! We saw lots of them and even some baby turtles! The fish in the water are beautiful as well and will swim all around you. I think it is definitely worth the $51! Book today and don't forget your underwater camera like I did!

It's not suitable for whale watching. ホエールウォッチングには向いてません。

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

This year, I participated with my parents and children, spanning three generations. Since we had children with us, we decided to join the Honolulu for whale watching, as it seemed that the boat activities were not suitable for them yet. I had heard that the area where whales appear is beyond Hawaii Kai, but it seemed that the Honolulu mainly offered sightseeing, as the tour only went as far as providing a view of Waikiki. If you have the time and are mainly interested in sightseeing, it might be fine, but for those hoping for the kind of whale watching advertised, I think other activities would be better.

今年お正月に両親、子供と3世代で参加しました。
子供がいるため、ホエールウォッチングにはまだボートでのアクティビティは出来そうになかったので
ホノルル号で参加を決めたのですが、
ホエールの現れるエリアはハワイカイより先と聞いておりましたが、ホノルル号は遊覧がメインなのか
ワイキキを見渡せるあたりまでの遊覧でした。
時間があり遊覧をメインとされるのであればいいかと思いますが、宣伝で使ってるようなホエールウォッチングを希望される方は
他のアクティビティがいいかと思いました。

Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very sorry to hear that there weren't many whales to be seen on the day you visited. On some days, we are fortunate enough to witness the magnificent sight of whales breaching. If you have another opportunity, please do come back to search for those whales.

Don't expect too much. 期待し過ぎてはダメ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family on April 2nd. Since there was no pickup at 8 AM, I was thinking of taking the trolley bus, but it seemed that it wasn't running yet. I heard that I could take the bus, so I waited for the 19 or 20 mentioned in the book, but since I didn't check the schedule, it took a while to arrive. I ended up taking a taxi in a hurry.

The office location was hard to find. I stayed under the Aloha Tower for a while, but since I needed to go to the restroom, I headed towards the large ship and found the office. They take a photo when you board, which costs $18. If the waves are calm, there's no worry about seasickness. You can see the whales' spouts and tails from a distance. They announced that you can only see the high jumps in winter. The kids got bored quickly.

I was able to enjoy a nice nap while being gently hit by the pleasant sea breeze until we returned to the port (laughs). There were a few foreigners eating fruit, so it seems like bringing food is not prohibited...

For customers with transportation included, our staff will guide you from the bus to the ship, while customers without transportation check in directly at the office.
I apologize for any confusion regarding the location, as it seems it was difficult to find, despite the sign for Star of Honolulu being displayed.
Due to Coast Guard regulations, outside food and drinks are prohibited. Our staff is instructed to monitor this, but it seems there were no such issues this time. We will translate your comments into English and forward them to the manager to assist with future staff training.

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Not for first timers

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I attended this with my husband and son. They are both strong swimmers, but I am not. I've never snorkeled before, and this is not where I should have tried it for the first time. I had a life jacket on, so I knew I was safe, but the water was very deep, and the water had 4-6 foot swells. We had to swim against the current to get to the turtles. The waves were too much for me, I got tired quickly, I was uncomfortable with it being so deep, and the waves so high, so I got back in the boat. My husband and son enjoyed it though, and got up close to the turtles. At one point some spinner dolphins approached the group, but because everyone is looking down, only a few of the swimmers saw them. The leader stayed with the group, and I felt the staff were excellent. After the snorkeling they put up the sail and we took off past Diamond Head, looking for whales. We didnt see any, but we spotted some bottle nose dolphins in the distance. And the ride was fun. The lunch was very basic

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: yohko

The boat rocked quite a bit. It was difficult to stand, so those who are prone to seasickness might find it a bit challenging. Eating was also difficult in those conditions. The whales didn't show themselves very often. After seeing them spout water a few times, we only caught a glimpse of their backs, but it was still moving. Onboard, there were plenty of fun activities like hula dancing, lei-making, and ukulele lessons. I made a lei to take home. I am grateful for such a valuable and fulfilling experience. I would like to go again as a repeat visitor. Thank you, Alan1, for the wonderful memories. Mahalo~

かなり船が揺れました。立っていられない程なので、船酔いする方は少し難しいかもしれません。食事もその中では難しかったです。クジラもなかなか姿を見せてはくれませんでした。潮を吹いている瞬間を何回か見た後、背中がちょこっと見えただけでしたが、感動しました。船内ではフラ体験やレイ作成体験、ウクレレレッスン等楽しい行事が盛沢山。レイを作って持ち帰りました。とっても貴重な充実した体験をさせて頂き感謝です。またリピーターとして行きたいと思います。alan1さん楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。マハロ~

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

Even beginners can stand on the board. 初心者でもボードに立てます

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in a semi-private lesson with my 11-year-old child. The description states "children who can understand Japanese from age 5 and above," but the application form only displayed a pricing option for "adults aged 14 and above," which raised the question, "Can children participate?" When I inquired by phone, I was told that "for group lessons, we require participants to be 14 years or older." I think it would be better if this information was presented more clearly.

There are Japanese staff members at the office, so you can inquire in Japanese if you have any questions. The lesson coach is a foreigner and does not speak Japanese fluently. However, during the lesson, they provide instructions in simple English and also use Japanese for commands like "right" and "stand up." I think it's okay even if you're not good at English, but it might not be suitable for those who are looking for complete Japanese support.

The lesson content is very kind, and at first, they push out the board at just the right timing, so you can stand on the board relatively quickly. My child doesn't have great athletic ability, but by the third wave, they were able to stand up and had a lot of fun.

I thought the price for the two-hour lesson was a bit high, but since they teach with great care, I would recommend it for complete beginners. For subsequent lessons or for adults only, I think group lessons would be fine.

You cannot bring valuables, but they sell a CD-ROM with lesson photos for $30 afterward.

 11歳の子供とふたりでセミプライベートレッスンに参加しました。
 説明に「5歳以上の日本語が理解できる子供」と書いてあるのですが、申し込みフォームには「14歳以上から大人」という料金選択しか表示されず、「子供も参加できるのか?」という疑問があり電話で問い合わせをしたところ「グループレッスンの場合は14歳以上を求めている」ということでした。もう少しわかりやすい表示があればよいと思いました。
 事務所には日本人スタッフがおり、わからないことは日本語で問い合わせをすることができます。レッスンコーチは外国人で、流暢に日本語を話す、というレベルではありません。しかしレッスン自体は簡単な英会話と、「右」とか「立ってー」とかは日本語で指示してくれます。英会話が苦手でも大丈夫だと思いますが、完全に日本語サポートを求めるかたにはむいていないかもしれません。
 レッスン内容はとても親切で、最初はちょうどいいタイミングでボードを押し出してくれるのでわりとすぐボードの上に立てるようになります。子供もあまり運動神経がいい方ではありませんが、3回目くらいの波から立ち上がることが出来てとても楽しんでいました。
 2時間のレッスン料金としてはすこし高いと思いましたが、とても親身になって教えてくれるので、まったく初めて、という方にはおすすめします。
 2回目以降や大人だけだったらグループレッスンでもいいと思います。
 貴重品は持っていけないのですが、レッスン写真を撮ったCD−ROMを1枚$30であとから販売してくれます。

Moved by the whales. クジラに感動

Reviewed by: パパ犬

I participated in late March, towards the end of the season. It seems that if you can't see any whales, you can get a reboarding ticket, but due to scheduling conflicts, I couldn't reboard, so I was worried about whether I would see any whales.

In the end, I was able to see whales up close. I had booked a meal-inclusive course, but if you see a whale, you should focus on watching the whale and interrupt your meal. There is plenty of time for dining.

シーズン終盤の3月下旬に参加しました。
見られない場合は再乗船券をもらえるようですが、スケジュールの都合で再乗船はできないので、クジラが見られるか心配でした。

結果は間近でクジラを見ることができました。食事付きのコースを予約しましたが、クジラが見えたら食事を中断してクジラを見ることに専念すべきです。食事の時間は結構あります。

The sunset is beautiful. 夕日がきれい

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We will set sail around 4:00 PM and return before 6:00 PM. One of the great points is being able to see Waikiki from a perspective that you can't from the ground. Additionally, you can view Diamond Head from an angle that is usually not visible, which was also nice. We'll return just in time for sunset, so you'll get to see a really beautiful sunset. Since drinks are all-you-can-drink, I think it's great for those who can handle their alcohol and don't get seasick!

16:00ころ出航して、18:00前くらいに戻ってきます。
地上からは見ることの出来ないワイキキの姿を見れるのがグッドポイントです。またダイアモンドヘッドも普段は見れない角度から見れてこれも良かった。
戻ってくる頃にちょうどサンセットの時間帯ですごくきれいな夕日が見れます。

I participated on March 22. Since it was near the end of the season, I was worried about not seeing any whales, but I thought it would be good to enjoy the cruising experience. While we were still on our way to the destination, we saw a spout at the back of the boat. There was no announcement at that time. After that, with the captain's announcement, we were able to see spouts and dark bodies multiple times. When the tail fin was visible, all the participants cheered. The wind was strong, but my whole family was satisfied. Thank you very much.

I didn't feel seasick on the large ship, and there was no rocking. Although I couldn't see anything on the way there, we spotted a whale when we turned around! It was off the coast between Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, showing its back and tail. I was able to capture it on video.

The staff provided explanations, but it was unfortunate that we couldn't hear them well from the first floor. The second floor might be better for staff who want to see far away. I think it's fine for visitors to be on the first floor.

The whale is not visible in the photo. The mountain is Diamond Head.

I participated on March 24th. Since I tend to get seasick, I took motion sickness medication early, which may have helped, but I did feel a bit nauseous when the waves were rough. However, as soon as we spotted the whale, my seasickness disappeared. The sweet potato-like dish was delicious, and I even had seconds on the cookies. When the whale was spotted, there was a cheer from everyone.

I apologize for the distress caused. Since you participated five years ago, we are unable to confirm the weather conditions on that day with the operating company, but it can be inferred that the winds were stronger than usual, and even the catamaran boat, which typically doesn't sway much, experienced significant rocking.

You won't have time to enjoy the scenery; it's incredibly thrilling!!!

If you don't mind heights but are a bit hesitant, you should be prepared.
For those with a fear of heights, think carefully (laughs).
Make sure to take motion sickness medication! Also, depending on the roughness of the waves, it might be impossible to take photos or videos, so it's a good idea to prepare $30 to have the staff take pictures for you.
Don't forget to tip. The photos turned out great◎

I saw a whale in the distance... 遠くに鯨さんが。。。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was said that we couldn't get closer than 100 yards (just under 100 meters) for whale protection, but I felt like we could see the whales' tails, spouts, and backs from a few hundred meters away. I chose a plan that included lunch and transportation, but the lunch might have been unnecessary. (During the meal, there were announcements about whale sightings, so I couldn't eat in peace, and the food got cold and wasn't tasty.)

I think it would be better to separate the experiences: a reasonable morning tour focused on whale watching, and a sunset dinner cruise on the same Star of Honolulu for enjoying a meal. Also, since the whales were quite far away, I feel that my child wouldn't be very impressed even when they grow up a bit more. (Unless we were lucky enough to have the whales come closer.)

I chose the transportation option, but the area around Aloha Tower, where the boat departs, has a small mall, and it seemed like a nice place to stroll, so it might be better to take a taxi ourselves.

100ヤード(100メートル弱)以内には、鯨保護のために近寄れないとのことでしたが、感覚的には数百メートル先で鯨さんの尻尾や潮吹き、数回背中などが望めました。 私は1歳8ヶ月の子連れで、ランチつき、送迎付のプランを選択しましたが、ランチは余計だったかもしれません。(食べている間にも鯨発見!のアナウンスが流れたりして落ち着いて食べられず、冷めてしまって美味しくないので)
なので、鯨を見るなら鯨を見る、に集中したリーズナブルな午前中のツアー、お食事を楽しむなら同じスターオブホノルル号で行くサンセットディナークルーズ、と分けたほうが良いような気がしました。 また、あまりに鯨が遠いので、子どもは相当大きくなってもあまり感動しない気がします。(運良く近くに来てくれれば別でしょうけれども)。 
送迎付を選びましたが、船の発着するアロハタワー近辺はちょっとしたモールもあって、お散歩するのも楽しそうだったので自分たちでタクシーで行くほうが良いかもしれません。

I was able to see a mother and baby whale! ☆ 親子鯨がみれました☆

Reviewed by: まぁみん

For a long time, a mother and baby whale were near the boat!
I was able to see them flapping their tails and jumping☆
They said it's rare to see this much (^^)
I thought it would be nice just to be on the boat even if I couldn't see them, so I was very happy♪

長いあいだ親子鯨が船の近くに居ました!
シッポをバタバタさせたりジャンプしたりがみれました☆
こんなに見れるのは珍しいと言ってました(^^)
見れなくても船に乗れるだけでもいいかなぁ
と思っていたのでとても嬉しかったです♪

サンセットセーリング マイタイ・カタマラン号 ビールやシャンパン、カクテルなどオープンバーで飲み放題!金曜日限定の花火観賞プランあり<シェラトン・ワイキキ発>

It feels good. 気持ちイイ

Reviewed by: take

We participated as a family of four. Since I have experienced dinner cruises on large ships twice before, this time we chose the catamaran. The ship was almost full, but we were the only Japanese guests. There were many foreign couples, and the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai was very popular. I had three myself.

It does sway quite a bit (sometimes the captain intentionally makes it rock), so it's not suitable for families with small children, but you can stand on the deck, and I think it's perfect for adult groups. Also, since we stayed at the Sheraton, it's very convenient for those staying at nearby hotels. I definitely want to participate again next time.

家族4名で参加しました。
大型船でのディナークルーズは、これまで2回経験しているので、今回はカタマラン号にしました。
船内は、ほぼ満席でしたが、日本人は我々だけ。外国人は、カップルも多く、飲み放題でマイタイが大人気。私も3杯いただきました。
さすがに揺れるので(船長がわざと揺らす場合もあります)、小さい子供づれには不向きですが、甲板にも立てますし、大人のグループには最適だと思います。また、宿泊がシェラトンだったのっで、近くのホテルに宿泊の方はとても便利です。
次回もぜひ参加したいです。

It depends on luck. 運次第。

Reviewed by: Hime

This is something that depends on nature, so it's hard to say...

I chose to participate in Navatek because the STAR OF HONOLULU has a larger ship, making it difficult to get a window seat.

I saw the spout and tail fins about eight times, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the main body. However, the weather was pleasant, and I enjoyed the nature tour.

Onboard, the nature guide provided constant commentary (in English). There was one Japanese guide, but their explanations were quite soft-spoken and difficult to hear, which was disappointing. Since there were many Japanese guests, I hope they can improve on this.

There are many decks, so if it’s not crowded, there was plenty of space to wait outside for the whales.

【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 the shape of a whale, at least! ♪ クジラの姿は一応見れました♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in the morning whale watching cruise with Star of Honolulu (without breakfast buffet).

After boarding, we were guided to seats on the first floor, where everyone listened to a whale watching lecture. There was an explanation in English followed by one in Japanese. Once the lecture was over, we dispersed to wait for the whales to appear at our preferred spots (most people went to the top deck, the fourth floor). The ship also provides free motion sickness medication, but you'll need water to take it.

When a whale is spotted, they announce the direction and distance over the loudspeaker. I was able to catch a glimpse of the spout and tail. You can leisurely enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea, which is nice for those who want to relax, but if you're expecting to see whales up close in a dramatic way, it might not meet your expectations.

By the way, the parking at Aloha Tower costs $3 for the first 30 minutes, and then $3 for every additional 30 minutes, so it might be good to time your arrival with the departure time. In the morning, the shops were still closed. The second floor of the shopping arcade was under renovation and closed.

スターオブホノルルの午前中のホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。(朝食ビュッフェ無し)

乗船して1階の席に案内され、ホエールウォッチングのレクチャーをみんなで聴きます。英語の後、日本語での解説があります。 レクチャーが終わると解散、好きな場所でクジラの出現を待ちます。(ほとんどの方々が最上階・4階のデッキへ)
船内で酔い止めも無料で配ってくれますが、飲むのに水が必要です。

クジラを見つけると、放送で方向と距離を教えてくれます。
潮吹きや尻尾がチラッと見ることができました。
海からのホノルルの街をのんびりと眺めることができるので、
のんびりしたい方には良いと思いますが、クジラを間近で迫力ある姿を期待すると、いまひとつかもしれません。

ちなみに、アロハタワーの駐車場は、最初の30分で3ドル、その後30分毎に3ドル掛かるので、出港時間に合わせて行くのが良いかも。朝はまだお店は開いていませんでした。
ショッピングアーケードの2階は改装中で閉鎖されていました。

Thank you very much for joining our cruise. Whales can be very active on certain days, and on those days, you can see them jumping high. Please come back to search for such whales if you have the opportunity.

The weekday parking fee at Aloha Tower is $3 for the first 3 hours. After that, an additional $3 is charged every 30 minutes. On Saturdays and Sundays, it is $5 all day (as of 03/25/2012).

All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My wife participated with another wife from the same group.

We used the service right after arriving at the hotel on the day we landed in Honolulu (staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village). We enjoyed a lomilomi massage to relieve our fatigue and indulged ourselves.

It seemed that the three of us were in separate rooms for the massage, but if you check in early, it looks like you can relax in the jacuzzi or sauna as well.

If we didn't have kids, we would love to use this service as a couple.

ホノルル到着日にホテル到着後すぐ利用しました。(ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊)
ロミロミマサージで疲れを癒やし、贅沢してもらいました。

マッサージは3人別々の部屋のようでしたが、早めにチェックインすればジャグジーやサウナでリラックスもできるようです。

子どもがいなかったら、夫婦で利用したいです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was surprised by the number of foreign participants, more than I expected. We were able to see the whale's tail and spouting, and the children were very happy. Aloha Tower is a stop for the Waikiki Trolley, so if you participate in the afternoon, you might not need transportation. Our family used the morning service, so we opted for transportation, but on the way back, we asked the driver to drop us off at Ala Moana Center. I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

思ったより外国人の参加が多く驚きました。
クジラのしっぽと潮吹きが確認でき、子どもたちも大喜びでした。
アロハタワーはワイキキトロリーの停留所なので、午後の参加なら送迎は不要かも。我が家は午前利用だったので送迎付きにしましたが、帰りは運転手さんに申し出てアラモアナセンターで降ろしてもらいました。
また機会があれば参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

2.5 Hour Honolulu Whale Watch Cruise on the Majestic with Waikiki & Diamond Head Views [Dec - Apr]

Interesting and Fun

Reviewed by: Island Visitor

I think the whales were sleeping that morning of my cruise, but we did see some activity - although not much. The cruise guarantees a whale sighting and that happened, but would have liked to see more than a few spouts, humps, and one tail. But, as guaranteed, we saw a whale so we got what we paid for. Sometimes, it's just luck of the draw. Well worth the trip, and would do it again (hoping for more activity next time!!).

Unfortunately, the whales did not appear, but we enjoyed the cruise. Since it's nature, it was just unlucky. Even though breakfast was included, we were offered drinks for an additional charge, which left us feeling dissatisfied with the tour. What a shame.

This is the Star of Honolulu. Thank you for your comments. We appreciate your understanding of whale watching as part of "nature." Regarding the drinks, for those with breakfast included, we offer "coffee, tea, and orange juice."

However, we also provide other drinks (which are available for a fee). Our staff reached out to inquire if you would like any of those, but it seems we may have caused you some discomfort, for which we sincerely apologize. We have translated all your comments into English and forwarded them to the relevant departments.

Thank you for sailing with us this time.

Everyone except for us, a couple, was from an English-speaking country.
At the beginning, the pace was slow and the atmosphere was relaxed, but from the middle, the speed picked up, and we were squealing with excitement at the splashes of water.
The background music also got louder, and everyone's spirits lifted.
Although it was far away, I was moved to see a whale.
Out in the distance, the crew members were feeding fish.
There were mostly black fish, but many gathered around.
As for attire, some people were in swimsuits, while others wore T-shirts and shorts.
It's reasonably priced, and I think it's worth participating.
It was truly refreshing.

私たち夫婦以外は皆さん英語圏の方でした。
序盤は緩やかなスピードでのんびりした雰囲気でしたが、
中盤から、スピードが速くなり、水しぶきにキャーキャー。
BGMも大音量になって、皆のテンションも上がります。
遠くでしたが、クジラを見れて感動しました。
沖の方で、船員さんが魚にエサをあげます。
黒い魚ばかりでしたがたくさん集まってきました。
服装は、水着の人もいれば、Tシャツに短パンの人もいました。
手頃な値段だし、参加してみてもいいと思います。

The excitement of seeing a whale! クジラの姿を見られた時の感動!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with a friend.
This was the cheapest morning course, which didn't include breakfast.
Shortly after boarding the boat, we were able to see a whale's tail just once. After that, they didn't appear much, and my friend and I were talking about how it was nice to enjoy the beautiful sea and the scenery of Oahu, even if it was cheap. Then, towards the end, we were able to see many whales.
I was so focused on watching that I couldn't take good photos, but it was truly moving to see the whales.
Also, the sea is beautiful, so just cruising is really enjoyable.
Next time, I want to save money and try a dinner cruise as well.

友人と2人で参加しました。
ブレックファーストも付いていない、一番安い午前のコースです。
船に乗ってから割とすぐに、1度だけクジラの尾ひれを見ることができました。その後は、なかなか現れてくれず、友人とも、まぁ安かったしクルージングできれいな海やオアフ島の様子を見られるだけでも気持ちいいし良かったよねと話していたら、最後らへんでたくさん姿を見せてくれました。
見るのに必死で写真はうまく取れませんでしたが、クジラの姿を見られた時は感動しますよ。
また、海がきれいなので、クルージングするだけでも本当に気持ちいいです。
今度はお金をためて、ディナークルージングにも参加してみたいなと思います。
