Me and my family had a wonderful time on board the Star of Honolulu, despite my son being seasick due to the south swells! Charmaine, who was absolutely wonderful, gave my son some medicine and she was very attentive towards our needs and checking up on us to assure he was o.k.. Nana, another staff member also helped my 4 year old daughter make leis! We did see some whales and some dolphins. Food was good, service was great! Hopefully next time we do this, my son wont be so sick!

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating.
I was so moved to see a whale jump right in front of me!
I was able to see it multiple times, it was the best!
I also got to make a fresh flower lei, and it was really nice to wear it for photos at the party the next day.
The food was delicious too.
I want to participate again. Thank you!
ハワイへ何度か行きましたが、初めて参加しました。
目の前にクジラのジャンプ!!を見て、メチャ感動!!!
何回も見る事が出来て、最高☆
生花のレイも作れた、次の日のパーティでレイをかけて写真を写す事が出来て、本当に良かった♥
食事も美味しかった

At first, I mistakenly confused Outrigger with Outrigger Reef, and I thought it was inconvenient that there was no map on the voucher. I ran along the beach to get to my destination, but I ended up being late. When I spoke to the staff about it, they kindly allowed me to join the next cruise, which was a few hours later.
There were only two of us Japanese people, but everyone was very friendly, and it was so much fun! The staff's service was great, and I was thrilled to view Waikiki Beach from the sea. The captain's explanation allowed us to see as far as Kauai Island, and on the way back, we threw food to attract baby sharks that swam close to the yacht, and we even got to see a baby whale up close.
Cruising on the yacht was amazing! I definitely want to participate again next time.
最初アウトリガーとアウトリガー・リーフとを間違えてバウチャーに地図が無いのは不便だな~と思いながらビーチを走って目的の場所へ行ったものの時間に遅れてしまいどうしようかと思ってスタッフの人にお話したら次のクルーズに参加させてくれるとの事で数時間後のクルーズに参加しました。
日本人は私たち2人だけでしたがみなさんフレンドリーにしてくださりとっても楽しかったです!!
スタッフの対応も良くてワイキキビーチを海側から眺めて感激しキャプテンの説明で遠くにカウアイ島まで見えて帰還途中には餌を投げてサメの子供が群れをなしてヨットに近づいたりクジラの赤ちゃんまで間近で見ることができました。
ヨットでのクルージングはさいこ~でした!!
次回もまた参加したいと思いました。

It's an affordable tour that lasts an hour and a half. My husband and I rode on a catamaran for the first time, and it was stable with no rocking, making it suitable for older couples and families with small children. The view of Waikiki Beach from offshore was a different sight, and we took a lot of photos. Looking down at the water, we saw turtles and schools of fish swimming, and when the staff threw bread, the fish jumped out of the water with white splashes. Then, when the staff pointed and shouted "Whale!", we looked into the distance and, lo and behold, there was a whale showing its tail. When we stopped offshore, we could jump into the sea from the catamaran, which felt great. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were charming and kind, taking photos with us. There were also soft drinks ($1) and beer or champagne ($3) available, and we toasted on the boat. The hour and a half flew by, but it was a very enjoyable tour.
1時間半で格安でお手頃のツアーです。
私たち夫婦は、初めてカタマランというものに乗りましたが、揺れもなく安定感のあるヨットのためか、高齢のカップルや小さな子供連れの家族も一緒でした。
沖合から眺めるワイキキビーチも一味違う光景で、写真をたくさん撮りました。
水面を見下ろすと亀や魚の群れが泳いでおり、スタッフがパンを投げると魚は白いしぶきを上げて水面を飛び跳ねていました。そしてスタッフが「ホエール!」と言いながら指さす先の遠くを見ると、な!、なんと!クジラがテールを出していました。
沖合で止まるとカタマランから海に飛び込むこともできて、とても気持良かったです。
スタッフは、日本語は通じませんが、愛嬌があっていっしょに写真を撮ってくれたりして親切でした。
また、ソフトドリンク(1$)やビール・シャンパン(3$)もあり、船上で乾杯しました。
あっという間の1時間半でしたが、とても気持いいツアーでした。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I participated in this activity! It was a bit chilly, but the weather was nice, and the ocean was sparkling and very beautiful. I thought there would be many Japanese participants, but it turned out to be just the two of us, and all the crew members only spoke English, so we couldn't understand what they were saying and felt a bit out of place. However, once we set off, it was incredibly refreshing, just as the name suggests, and the view from the ocean was stunning. The lower part of the yacht was a net, so we could see the ocean directly below us, which was fun. Plus, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins! It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and it was so moving! We even got to see them jumping. Along the way, we were served a Hawaiian drink called Mai Tai, so we were just full of good luck! I think it's a great deal to have such an experience for this price, so I highly recommend it! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again!
ハワイ到着日に友人と2人で参加しました!
ちょっと寒かったですが天気も良く、海もキラキラしていてとってもきれいでした♪
日本人の参加者がたくさんいると思っていたら私たちだけで、しかもクルーの人たちもみんな英語しか話していなかったので何を言っているのかさっぱり分からずちょっと私たちだけ浮いていたかも・・・。
でも、出発してみると名前の通りすごく爽快で、海から見える景色もとってもきれいでした☆ヨットの下の部分がネットになっているので、真下に海が見れて楽しかったです。しかもラッキーなことにイルカの群れに遭遇しました!!野生のイルカを見たのは初めてだったので感動です!!!ジャンプしてるところも見れました♪途中、ハワイのお酒マイタイもサービスして頂き、ラッキーずくしでした♪この値段でこんな体験ができるのはとてもお得だと思うのでお勧めです!!またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います☆

On the day, the wind was strong and there were splashes from the waves, making it difficult to see the whales' spouts clearly. However, there were many activities on the boat, such as lei-making and hula lessons, which kept the children entertained, and we had a great time. My child continued to practice the hula we learned even after returning to Japan.
当日は風が強く、波しぶきが立っていたので鯨の潮吹きがわかりにくく、あまり良く見えなかったのですが、船内でのレイの作成やフラレッスンなど、子供が飽きない催しも多く、大変楽しめました。
子供は日本に帰ってからも教えていただいたフラを家でやっていました。

I read that some people get seasick before boarding the submarine, so I took motion sickness medication in advance. However, depending on the weather on the day, it might not be necessary. In Hawaii, there are hardly any fish in areas without reefs, which was disappointing because the seawater wasn't as clear as I expected. However, I was lucky enough to encounter about 5 or 6 sea turtles, which some people might not get to see! I recommend sitting in the front on the right side facing the direction of travel for the best position.
潜水艦に乗り移る前の船で船酔いするとの書き込みがあったので事前に酔い止めの薬を飲んで参加しましたが、当日の天候によってはその必要は無いかもしれませんね、ハワイの海は魚礁のないところにはほとんど魚がいないんですね、海水が思っていた程澄んでいないのが残念でしたが、遭遇できない方もいらっしゃるという海亀に5~6匹も会えました(ラッキー!)
ベストポジションは進行方向右側の前の方の席がお薦めです。

I participated in the 3 PM departure. It's great that there are afternoon departures available. It's perfect for getting used to the Hawaiian climate while enjoying the pleasant sea breeze when you're just relaxing on the day of arrival. Engaging in intense activities on the arrival day can leave you tired for the rest of your trip. I recommend it because you can indulge in a luxurious feeling at this price!

I participated at 3:00 PM on the day of my arrival on Oahu. I arrived from the Big Island at 11:30 AM, so I had plenty of time. At 2:30 PM, I went to the beach side of the Outrigger Reef on the Beach Hotel, where there were similar umbrellas for boat tours, and I quickly found the sign for the Outrigger Catamaran with blue letters and a staff member. He spoke Japanese well. (I've attached a photo for clarity.) It was my first time on a catamaran, so I was really looking forward to it. I was a bit worried since the boat was on the smaller side, but there was little rocking, and cruising while enjoying the pleasant breeze and views of Waikiki and Diamond Head was incredibly enjoyable—I lost track of time. The crew was friendly and interacted with everyone; there were only my wife and me as Japanese guests, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without feeling out of place. Along the way, we saw whales and fed fish, so there was never a dull moment. They also made cocktails on board, which everyone seemed to enjoy. I definitely want to go again when I visit Oahu. It's suitable for children too.
オアフ島、到着日の15:00に参加しました。ハワイ島から11:30に着いたので時間的にも余裕がありました。14:30分にアウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチホテルのビーチ側にいくと同じような船の案内のパラソルがありますが青い文字のアウトリガー・ カタマラン号の看板が出てるところにおにいさんがいてすぐにわかりました。日本語も上手でしたよ。(わかるように写真を添えています。)カタマランは初めてなのでとても楽しみにしていました。船は弱いほうなので少し心配していましたが揺れも少なく心地よい風とワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドなどの景色を見ながらのクルージングはなんとも言い難い心地よさで時間のたつのも忘れるくらいです。クルーの人もみんなに声をかけてくれて日本人は私と妻だけでしたが浮くこともなく楽しむことができました。途中クジラを見たり、魚にえさをあげたりと飽きることなく楽しむことができました。中ではカクテルを作ってくれます。外国の人はみんなおいしそうに飲んでいました。オアフに来た時はまたぜひ乗りに行きたいと思います。子供さんも大丈夫ですよ。

A large ship... I was a bit anxious about it, but my intuition was right.
For those who get seasick or are going whale watching for the first time, I recommend it! Since it's a large ship, you can relax comfortably on board.
However, for those who just want to see whales, I think a slightly smaller boat would be better.
It's great for those who want to enjoy meals and hula lessons!
As for me... I don't get seasick, so I found it a bit lacking...
大きな船・・・。というので、ちょっと不安がありましたが・・・。予感的中でした。
船に酔う方や、初めてホエールウォッチングをされる方には、オススメですよ!!大きな船ですので、船の上でゆっくりとすごせます。
が、鯨を見たいだけの方には、もう少し小さい船のほうがよいかな~とおもいます。
食事やフラレッスンなどを楽しみたい方にはオススメですね!!
私は・・・。船には酔わないので、ちょっと物足りなかったです・・・。

I participated with a friend on February 4th. I had heard that whales can only be seen in the winter, so I thought it was a great opportunity and signed up. According to the captain, they have been able to see them almost every day recently, so we were looking forward to the trip. Both my friend and I are prone to seasickness, so we brought medication from Japan. There were courses that included meals, but anticipating that eating might make us feel sick, we deliberately chose the most economical option without meals; however, drinks were included, so it turned out to be a good choice.
As for the whales, unfortunately, we didn't see any jumping up close, but during the two-and-a-half-hour cruise, we were able to see their backs several times as they spouted water and dove, which was very moving. The view of Waikiki from the boat was also beautiful. However, it was much windier on the boat than expected, and it was very cold, so I definitely recommend bringing a long-sleeved hoodie that blocks the wind. Even so, when it got too cold, it felt nice to go up to the upper deck where the sun was warm.
2月4日に友達と2人で参加しました。クジラは冬の時期しか見られないと聞いていたので、良いチャンスだと思い申し込みました。船長さんの話では最近はほぼ毎日見る事が出来るという事でしたので、楽しみにして出発しました。私も友人もとても船酔いしやすい体質なので、薬は日本から持参しました。食事付などのコースもありましたが、食べると気分が悪くなる事を予測して、あえて一番お得な食事無しのコースにしましたが、飲み物は付いているので結果的には良かったと思います。
肝心のクジラは残念ながらすぐ近くでジャンプ、とは行きませんでしたが、2時間半のクルーズの間何度も塩を吹いたり潜ったりする背中を見る事ができてとても感動しました。船の上から見るワイキキもとてもキレイでした。ただ船の上は予想以上に風が吹いて非常に寒いので風を通さない長袖のパーカーなどを持っていく事を是非オススメします。それでも寒い時はいっそ屋上階に出てしまった方がお日様がぽかぽか当たって気持ちが良かったですよ。

I experienced 150.
The view of the Hawaiian sea from such a high position was amazing!
I love heights, and it was very exciting with a thrill that you can't experience anywhere else. I think the experience lasted about 15 minutes, so I was able to fully enjoy it!
I believe this is quite a good deal for the price.
They do ask for a tip on the way back, but they say it in a casual manner, so I didn't feel uncomfortable giving it.
Above all, since it's such a good deal, I didn't mind the tip amount.
You can enjoy yourself sufficiently from the boat even before reaching the middle of the sea.
Definitely give it a try! 🎶

On February 5th, I went whale watching for the first time and was able to see a pod of five whales and one whale twice!
I was worried about getting seasick, but once I spotted the whales, I was so excited that I completely forgot about it and had a blast! The pod of five whales swam slowly alongside the boat just ten minutes after we set sail, off the coast of Aloha Tower. According to the naturalist's explanation, it's rare to see five whales together like that?!
After observing the pod for about 30 minutes, we moved to another location to search for the next whale, which was time for a lunch buffet. I filled up on everything from salad to chicken, roast beef, fruit, and dessert! After lunch, I had the experience of making a lei with plumeria flowers.
Since I was full and had enjoyed a cultural experience, I thought I’d take a moment to enjoy the view outside, and suddenly, a whale jumped out of the water!!! It leaped four or five times, splashing as it performed!
I was moved by the whales' dynamic performance, and I had a wonderful time with the cultural experience as well. Next time, I’ll go with my family and friends!
2月5日に初めてホエールウォッチングに、5頭のクジラの群れと1頭のクジラ、2回見ることができました!
船酔いの心配もあったんだけど、クジラを見つけて大興奮していたら、そんなことすっかり忘れておおはしゃぎ☆
5頭からなるクジラの群れは、出港してから10分ととたたないうち、アロハタワーの沖合いで船の横をゆ~っくりと泳いでいました。ナチュラリストさんの説明によると5頭一緒に見かけるのは珍しいのだとか?!
30分くらいクジラの群れを観察してから、次のクジラを探しに場所を移動するとのことだったので、お昼ご飯ビュッフェに。
サラダからチキン、ローストビーフ、果物、デザートまでおなかいっぱいに!
ランチの後は、プルメリアでレイ作りを体験♪
おなかもいっぱいになったし、カルチャー体験もしたから、ちょっと外で景色でも見ようかなっと思って景色を眺めていたらクジラが大ジャンプ!!!4、5回水しぶきを上げて大ジャンプを披露してくれました!
クジラのダイナミックなパフォーマンスに感動できたし、カルチャー体験もできたし、と~っても楽しませていただきました。今度は家族や友達と一緒にいきます!

I participated in a seaside horseback riding plan with my mother on January 20th.
On this day, there were four participants in total: the two of us at the seaside and two in the valley.
Unfortunately, we couldn't stop by Moanalua Gardens as it was under construction, but we made a special stop at the Healing Stones in Wahiawa before heading to Dole Plantation. We had a good amount of time there, allowing us to leisurely enjoy the famous Dole Whip pineapple soft serve.
We also tried our hand at turtle watching on the North Shore beach, but the waves were high that day, and no turtles came ashore.
At 11 AM, we had lunch in Haleiwa. Our guide took us to the restaurant we wanted, and we had garlic shrimp at MACKY'S. The lemon pepper flavor was refreshing and highly recommended.
At noon, we dropped off the two participants from the valley horseback riding plan at Happy Trails, and we headed to Turtle Bay Resort, the seaside horseback riding point. Luckily, we spotted a whale from the car window during our drive!
Our horseback riding experience started at 12:30 PM, and during this time, it was just the two of us. We were lucky! I have some riding experience, but it was my mother's first time, so we decided to join this beginner-friendly plan. However, I found it a bit lacking for experienced riders since we weren't allowed to canter. Still, the scenery was beautiful with both bush and seaside views, so we could enjoy the atmosphere.
The ride was conducted at a walk to a brisk walk, which I think would be perfectly fine for beginners or those with little experience, and I was very satisfied with the content. There were some ups and downs along the way. The horses seemed well-trained, making them very easy to ride.
For the seaside horseback riding, the riding instructions were briefly explained by our guide/driver in the car, and there were none at the site. We were immediately assigned our horses and got on. Because of this, we had a solid 45 minutes of riding!
I think it was a great tour in terms of being able to enjoy horseback riding casually.
As a side note, one of the participants in the valley horseback riding fell off while dismounting and ended up muddy when we went to pick them up. For those going in the future, please enjoy yourselves without letting your guard down until the end!
母と2人で海辺乗馬プランに参加(1/20)しました。
この日の参加者は私たち海辺2人+渓谷2人の計4人。
残念ながらモアナルアガーデンは工事中ということで立ち寄ることができず、今回は特別にワヒアワのヒーリングストーンに寄って、ドールプランテーションへ。しっかり滞在時間を取ってくださったので、名物のパイナップルソフトクリームのドールホイップをゆっくり食べることができました。
ノースショアのビーチでウミガメウォッチングにもチャレンジしましたが、この日は波が高くて浜辺に上がってくる奇亀はいませんでした。。
11時にハレイワでランチ。希望のお店に連れて行ってくださったので、MACKY’Sでガーリックシュリンプを食べました。レモンペッパー味がさっぱりでおすすめです。
12時に渓谷乗馬プランの2人をハッピートレイルズで降ろして、私たちは海岸乗馬ポイントであるタートルベイリゾートへ。移動中、運よく車窓からクジラが観測できました!
12時30分から乗馬体験。この時間帯は私たち2人の貸し切りでした。ラッキーです☆
私は乗馬経験者ですが、母は初体験でしたので、今回はこの初心者向けのプランに参加することにしたわけですが、やはりどーしても経験者には物足りないです。。駈歩はやらせてもらえませんからね。が、ブッシュあり海辺ありで、景色はとても良いので雰囲気だけは楽しめます。
常歩~速歩程度で行われるので、初めての人や経験の少ない人には問題なく、大満足の内容になってると思いました。わりとアップダウンはあります。馬はよく調教されているようでしたので、とても乗りやすかったです。
なお、海辺乗馬の場合は、乗馬の注意事項は車内でガイド兼運転手さんから簡単に説明があっただけで、現地ではまったくなし。いきなり馬がセレクトされ、騎乗する流れでした。その分、45分しっかり乗れます!!
気軽に乗馬が楽しめる点においては、とても良いツアーだったと思います。
余談ですが、渓谷乗馬の1人が下馬する時に落ちてしまったそうで、迎えに行った時に泥んこになってました。これから行かれる方は最後まで気を抜かずに楽しんで来てください。

My daughter seemed to enjoy searching for whales too, and she was excited when she spotted one over there!

Actually, it's called a briefing, but in the beginning, there were cheers just from seeing a part of the whale. When a jump happened, there was an overwhelming cheer and excitement. While waiting for the next jump, people nearby were getting excited together, creating a strange sense of solidarity during the pleasant cruising experience. Luckily, I was able to see about eight jumps. On the way back from whale watching, there were activities like making flower arrangements and hula lessons, making it a very enjoyable cruise.
本当は ブリーフィングとか言うらしいのですが 最初のころは クジラの一部が見えただけで歓声が上がっていましたが ジャンプが出た時の大歓声と大興奮 次のジャンプを 今か今かと待つ間にも 近くの人同士でも 盛り上がり 不思議な連帯感のような 和やかなクルージングの中 ラッキーにも8回ぐらい 見ることが出来ました。ホエールウオッチングの帰りの船中では 生花でのレイ作りやフラのレッスンとかが有り とても楽しいクルージングです。

最上階はサービスも最高で、雰囲気も最高です。
料理やサービスを考えると値段も手頃だと思います。
記念日などにおすすめです。

As soon as we set sail, we spotted a whale, and the cruise began with us following it. It seems that we are not allowed to follow the same whale for a long time, so after about 30 to 40 minutes, we moved away from that whale to search for another one. However, we couldn't find any more after that, but since the cruise was along Waikiki, the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were very beautiful.
出港するとすぐにクジラを発見し、それを追う形でクルーズが始まりました。長い時間同じクジラを追うことは禁止されているそうで、30~40分後、そのクジラを離れて別のクジラを探すことに。 ただ、その後は見つけることができませんでしたが、ワイキキに沿ってクルーズだったので、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの眺めがとても綺麗でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。

We had always wanted to try parasailing. It was fantastic. We were so high in the air that the people on the boat looked like ants. It was a great way to see the island from the air. We were laughing and having a blast. The transition on and off the boat was very smooth. They took pictures for us and only charged $15 and gave us the roll of film to develop. The shark cage tour wanted $60 for the video so we bought the pictures from this tour.

This way a great way to explore the North Shore without having to do the driving. The driver, Keoki, was great! He showed much aloha which made this trip very special. Thanks again Keoki!

This time, I participated in this tour for horseback riding. It includes sightseeing at "This Tree, What Tree" and the North Shore, so it feels like a good deal. On the day of the tour, there were three groups with eight people, all of whom went horseback riding in the valley. It was a homey tour, and we were able to bond with the other participants.
Now, let me comment on the main horseback riding experience. It was our first time riding. I was a bit anxious because it was mentioned in the previous posts that the riding lecture would be in English. Happy Train is a small ranch run by a couple, and they explained everything with great enthusiasm using gestures, so it was easy to understand. In fact, the horses were well-trained, and we didn't need to give any commands at all.
We rode along a hilly mountain path, with the ranch's wife leading the way in a single file. The husband followed at the back. The ranch's dog (a Border Collie) also came along. It was mostly in the forest, and surprisingly, it wasn't too hot. There were a couple of spots where the view opened up, and we could see the sea of the North Shore. Since the horses are polo-style, we held the reins with one hand, allowing us to take photos (with a compact camera) with the other hand. The ranch staff also took photos for us along the way, so definitely bring a camera. I brought a waist pouch, but you can also borrow one.
The horses were really well-trained and walked in a straight line. They stopped automatically when the horse in front stopped, which made it quite easy. My wife's horse was unique, as it tended to walk on the edges and even pushed into the bushes at times... but that was quite funny.
I think even a six-year-old would be fine with this. However, since they are animals, one must not let their guard down, and we had to sign a waiver.
An hour and a half passed in no time. The ranch's wife shared various stories about the trees and nature while we were riding, and I really wished I could speak more English.
So, while experienced riders might find it a bit lacking, I believe it is a fantastic activity for beginners or those like us trying it for the first time. Both my wife and I consider this the number one memory of our trip to Hawaii.
今回、乗馬目的でこのツアーに参加しました。「この木なんの木」やノースショアの観光もついているのでお得感はあります。当日の参加者は3グループ8人で、全員渓谷での乗馬でした。アットホームなツアーで参加者で打ち解けることができました。
メインの乗馬についてコメントします。わたしたちにとって初めての乗馬です。あらかじめこちらの書き込みで乗馬のレクチャーは英語でと書かれていたので不安もありました。ハッピートレインは夫婦でやっておられる小さい牧場なのですが、夫婦が一生懸命に手振り身振りを交えながらレクチャーしてくださるのでよくわかりました。というより、馬がよく調教されていて、こちらが指示する必要がまったくなかったです。
アップダウンが結構ある山道を牧場の奥さんを先頭に一列になって進んでいきます。旦那さんが最後尾で付いてくれます。牧場の犬(ボーダーコリー)もついて来ていました。ほとんど森林の中で思ったより暑くなかったです。2か所ほど視界が開けていてノースショアの海が見えました。ポロスタイルの馬ですので片手で手綱を持ちますのでもう片方の手で写真(コンパクトカメラで)を撮ることができます。また牧場の方が途中で写真を撮ってくれますので是非カメラを持参してください。わたしはウエストポーチを持って行きましたが、貸してももらえます。
本当によく調教されていて一列できっちり歩いてくれます。前が止まると勝手に止まってくれますし、ちょっと物足りないくらい楽でした。妻の馬だけユニークな馬で、はしっこばかり歩いたり、ブッシュに突っ込んでいくとかありましたが…。それはそれで大笑いでした。
これなら、6歳の子でも大丈夫だと思います。しかし、動物のことですので油断は禁物ですし誓約書も書かされます。
1時間半あっというまに時間が経ちました。牧場の奥さんが乗馬中も色々と木や自然の話をしてくださるので、もっと英語が話せたらよかったとつくづく思いました。
ということで乗馬の経験者の方には少し物足りないと思いますが、わたしたちのような初挑戦や、初心者の方には大満足のアクティビティだと思います。妻も私も今回のハワイ旅行の思い出ナンバー1です。
