Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Best Morning of our Trip

Reviewed by: JGonzales

Although the day was grey and windy....the day at sea was excellent. Whales were not seen, but everything from the crew and staff members were excellent. The naturalist on board was so informative and wandered the ship answering all our questions. she was so easy to talk to and answered all our questions even the silly ones. Since we did and early morning cruise. we had coffees and snacks...dont forget to get the Mac nut cookies.....they are the best! We will do it again and hopefully have better luck in viewing....

Excited about the marine life! I definitely want to join this tour if the timing works out. 海の生物達に興奮！時期が合えば是非参加したいツアー

I participated in a honeymoon trip at the end of January. I checked in at 8:00 and we departed right on time at 8:45! It seems like checking in just 15 minutes before departure would still be fine.

Onboard, you can purchase drinks and light snacks like bagels. The ship has four floors, and the restrooms were clean and plentiful, which was reassuring.

It was a whale watching tour, and we were lucky to see a pod of dolphins right after we set sail! We also caught a few glimpses of the whales, which was incredibly exciting, especially when we saw their tails! (Due to conservation regulations, we couldn't get too close.) It was a tour that satisfied my desire to experience the grandeur of the ocean and see wild whales.

ハネムーン旅行で、1月末に参加しました。
8:00に受付でチェックインして、8:45に定刻通り出航しました！チェックインは出航時間の15分前とかでも全然間に合いそうな感じです。
船内ではドリンクやベーグルなどの軽食が購入出来ます。4階建ての船で、トイレも綺麗で数も多かったので安心できました。

ホエールウォッチングツアーでしたが、出航してすぐにイルカの群れも見れてラッキーでした！
本命のクジラは、ぴょこっと出てくれたのが数回あり、尻尾も見れて大感動です！！
(保護動物のため、近距離まで近づくことは出来ないまたいです)
海の壮大さと野生のクジラに満足出来るツアーでした。

I didn't see any whales, but the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean was very beautiful! I accepted that it was just a matter of luck, but I still enjoyed the cruising experience. It was really bumpy, so I definitely recommend bringing motion sickness medication from Japan.

I participated in this tour in late January. I was able to see the blowing, but unfortunately, I couldn't spot any whales. However, I enjoyed the view of Oahu Island from the sea. As you may know, the announcements are only in English. The air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, so it was a bit cold, and having a jacket would have been better. Also, depending on the day, it can be quite windy outside, which might feel chilly. I hope to join again next time and see some whales.

I could see a little. 少し見えました

Reviewed by: あっこ

In early January, I was able to see whales spouting and their tails. However, I didn't see the whales in the way shown in the reference photo. Still, the cruising experience itself was enjoyable! Viewing Waikiki from the sea, the airplanes flying in the sky, and the gentle sunlight felt very pleasant.

Unfortunately, I got seasick on the return trip and had to rush to the restroom several times... It wasn't particularly rough, and I usually don't get motion sickness. There were many other passengers, including children, but it seemed I was the only one who got seasick.

I chose a plan without transportation and took a taxi from my hotel in Waikiki. I thought the driver might have taken a longer route, but it cost about $40 including the tip.

After getting out of the taxi, I was unsure where to go, but when I headed towards the docked boat, I found a desk and people there, which helped me realize that was the check-in area, so I showed my voucher.

Once on board, there was an immediate photo service from the boat staff, and later, a staff member came around to see if we wanted to buy the developed photos. We purchased them for about $35. It seems many people chose not to buy.

There is a Japanese information board at the waiting area tables inside the boat, so it's good to read that beforehand.

Since I boarded early, the staff asked if I wanted to order snacks. I don't think it's necessary to order, but I requested a bagel and coffee, and I paid in cash including a tip for the staff who brought it. Other early boarders, including some foreigners, also placed orders.

The restrooms were bright, spacious, and clean.

The crew and staff were all cheerful and friendly. All announcements and conversations from the staff were in English, but there were recorded announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales.

Most of the customers were from Western countries, and there were fewer Japanese. The crowd ranged from families with children to seniors.

It was a sunny day, but with the sea breeze and sunlight, I think it's best to wear clothing that allows for temperature regulation. I wore a long-sleeved cover-up and jeans, and I didn't feel hot.

Since this is a winter-only activity, I think it's a great idea for those who can participate during this season!

1月上旬でクジラは潮吹きと尾ビレが見えました。
参考例の写真のようなクジラの姿は見られなかったです。
でも、クルージング自体も楽しかったです！海から見るワイキキ 、空を飛ぶ飛行機、穏やかな日差しなど、とても気持ち良かったです。

ただ、私は復路で船酔いしてしまい、何度もトイレに駆け込みました…。特別揺れがひどいわけではなかったですし、乗り物酔いしない方ではあったのですが。
同船者は子供も含めて他にも沢山いましたが、船酔いしたのは私だけだったようです。

送迎はなしのプランで、ワイキキのホテルからタクシーで行きました。少し遠回りされたかもと思いましたが、チップ含めて40ドルくらいでした。

タクシーを降りた後、どこに行けば良いか迷いましたが、停泊していた船の方に行ってみると、デスクと人がいてそこが受付だなと分かってバウチャーを見せました。

乗船後は、すぐに船側から記念撮影のサービスがあり、後程現像された写真を買わないかとスタッフが回ってきます。うちは買いました。確か35ドルくらいでした。買わない方も多いようです。

船内の待合スペースのテーブルには日本語での案内ボードがありますので、それを読んでおくと良いです。

早くに乗っていたので、船内スタッフから軽食のオーダーを聞かれました。頼まなくても良いと思いますが、うちはベーグルとコーヒーをお願いし、運んでくれたスタッフへのチップも含めて現金で支払いました。早くに乗っていた方は他の外国人さんも含めて頼んでいました。

トイレも明るく広くて綺麗でした。

クルー、スタッフは皆さんにこやかでフレンドリーです。
スタッフのお話や放送はすべて英語ですが、録音放送で日本語によるクジラの説明などがあります。

お客様は欧米の方が多く、日本人は少なめでした。お子様連れからシニア層まで幅広い客層でした。

よく晴れていましたが、海風や日差しもあるので、体温調節できる服装がいいと思います。私は長袖の羽織にとジーンズで行きました。暑いとは思わなかったです。

冬限定のアクティビティなので、時期が合う方は参加されるといいと思います！

I participated at the end of the year. I took motion sickness medication, but the boat was very slow, and it was tough until we returned to land. I couldn't see any whales, but later I heard that it's quite rare to see them around Oahu. Even if you do see them, they are said to be very far away. I think it would be better to participate in Maui or similar locations.

Reviewed by: えりか

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I could only take long vacations in May and August, and it wasn't whale watching season, so I couldn't even join a tour. This time, I will be going to Hawaii in January for my honeymoon, and I first booked a whale watching tour!

I was worried because I read that there are days when you can't see them, but luckily, I was able to see a little bit!!! Since it was a mother and calf, I could see the big back and the small back alternately.

If we had seen the tail fin, I might have felt more like we actually saw a whale, but it can't be helped. I can't help but feel greedy, but it's quite rare to see wild whales, so it was a very good experience! I was also glad to see the rare view of Diamond Head and the Waikiki coastline from the sea!

The boat swayed enough to make you feel unsteady, so even if you don't usually get seasick, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.

何度かハワイに来たことがあるのですが、5月、8月しか長期休暇が取れず、ホエールウォッチングシーズンではなかったのでツアーに参加することすら出来ませんでした。。
今回ハネムーンで1月にハワイに行くことになり、最初にホエールウォッチングツアーを予約しました！

見れない日もあると口コミにあり心配でしたが、、運良くちょっとだけ見ることが出来ました！！！
親子だったので、大きい背中と小さい背中が交互に見れました。

尾ビレが見えればクジラを見れた感をもっと感じられたのかもしれませんが、、しょうがないですね。
どうしても欲が出てしまいますが、そもそも野生の？クジラを見れることはなかなかないのでとても良い経験になりました！
海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキの海岸もレアな景色も見ることが出来て良かったです！

船はヨタヨタ歩きになるぐらい揺れるので、乗り物酔いをしない方も酔い止めは飲んで行った方が良いと思います。

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Saw a humpback breach!

Reviewed by: Jason

My wife and I took this tour while staying at Waikiki in January. It was an ideal day for whale spotting conditions. The naturalist was very knowledgeable, and the boat had plenty of room for all the passengers to see the surroundings. We watched one whale surface nearer to the shore, then went out deeper by Diamondhead. Just as we were approaching a possible sighting, we saw a humpback breach and jump out of the water. It was spectacular! Highly recommend this tour! Guaranteed sightings!

I participated in whale watching with the mindset that it would be nice to see a whale since it's nature. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales, but it was very enjoyable as a cruising experience. The pickup was very clear, and the staff was super cute. The performances on the boat were all in English, so I didn't understand anything, but it was strangely uplifting. The weather was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly in short sleeves.

ホエールウオッチングだけど、自然相手ですから、クジラは見れたら良いなぁ、くらいの気持ちで参加しました。

I was able to see it. 観れました

Reviewed by: oujirou

I thought we would head out to the open sea, but we actually progressed to a distance where we could see land from Waikiki Beach to just past Diamond Head. I was half in doubt, wondering if we would really see whales this close. I thought the chances of seeing them were even lower than seeing the aurora, so I didn't have high expectations, but we did see them. Two whales? showed us their spouts multiple times, and the boat followed them closely. Although we didn't see their tails or large bodies, I was satisfied. I couldn't believe we could see them so close to shore; it felt like they were either trained or robotic. Since it was a large boat, there was little rocking, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness.

沖の方に出るのかと思ったらワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドヘッドの先あたりまで、陸が見える距離を進み、こんな近くに鯨が出るの？？と半信半疑でした。出現確率もオーロラより低いんじゃないの？とあまり期待していませんでしたが、見れました。2頭？が何度も潮吹きを見せてくれて、船も追いかけるように進んでくれました。尾びれや大きな姿は見れませんでしたが満足しました。こんなに近海で見れるなんて、飼いならしているかロボットか？と思うほどでした。大きな船なので、揺れも少なくて船酔いの心配なし。

Best part of our Hawaii vacation

Reviewed by: Susie

Purchasing on line was a breeze. Check in was quick and easy. The all-female crew was professional, knowledgeable, and FUN. Cruising along the Waikiki shore was exhilarating and relaxing at the same time, and we had no problem seeing whales. We even got to see the illusive tail flip! Cannot recommend this enough. It was the highlight of our vacation. (We were first-time Waikiki visitors)

We had a whale of a time!

Reviewed by: Nosh & Momo

The morning whale watching cruise was excellent! The weather was perfect and the crew were friendly and informative. Before taking off we learned a few facts about whales and were able to purchase a snack from the snack bar. The cruise itself was magnificent and we saw several whales. It was such a a delight! I'd also like to mention that the restrooms on board the boat were extremely clean (When on a tour this isn't something you always encounter). My friend and I had a splendid time. We would not hesitate to take this cruise again. The one thing everyone should be aware of though is the parking fee. The boat does not valid and parking in the adjacent lot was a bit pricey.

Reviewed by: ma

We participated in a plan with transportation for a total of four people, including a 3-year-old and a 0-year-old. The hotel we stayed at was not the designated pickup location, but a nearby hotel was specified for the pickup based on our application. We brought a stroller of the buggy type, and it was transported and used without any issues.

We were lucky to see whales multiple times. On the deck, we enjoyed the breeze, and even from the indoor area with tables and chairs, we could sit and watch the whales, allowing us to see them from either environment. The 3-year-old was entertained throughout the experience.

The explanations and announcements (such as the direction of the whales) were in English. Although the kids did not get seasick, I thought it would have been nice to have the option for my husband to take motion sickness medication since he experienced seasickness.

3歳、0歳を連れた計4人で送迎付きのプランで参加をしました。
私たちの宿泊したホテルは送迎ピックアップの場所ではなかったのですが、申し込み内容と合わせてピックアップ場所（最寄りのホテル）が指定されました。バギータイプのベビーカーを持参しましたが、問題なく運搬し利用できました。
私たちは運が良くクジラを何度も見ることができました。デッキ上は風を感じながら楽しめ、テーブル椅子がある室内からでも座りながらクジラが見れたりと、環境に合わせてどちらからでもクジラが見れます。3歳の子も最後まで飽きずに楽しんでいました。
説明やアナウンス（クジラのいる方向など）は英語です。
子供達は船酔いしなかったものの、旦那が船酔いをしていたため、酔い止めを飲む選択もあったら良かったかなと思いました。

I participated in whale watching. I was able to spot a whale from a distance. I wanted to see it a bit closer, but the wind was pleasant, and I enjoyed the cruise. It was quite cold, so a long-sleeved jacket is essential. I hesitated about the pickup service being more expensive than meeting on-site, but I think if I had gone to the meeting point, there would have been so many boats that I wouldn't have known where to go. I'm glad I chose the pickup service, as it allowed me to participate with peace of mind.

I was able to see whales multiple times! クジラを何回も観れました！

Reviewed by: POM

I participated in the afternoon tour at the beginning of January. I was torn between other tours, but I decided on this one because it was smaller and I thought we might get a bit closer to the whales. The weather was clear, but I had seen reviews mentioning that some people didn’t see any whales, so I tried not to get my hopes up too much.

We set out about 15 minutes offshore on a small cruise ship and then waited in the surrounding area to see the whales. Since we weren’t too far from the island, where the town was visible, I wondered how it would go, but within about 10 minutes, there were cheers, and we caught a glimpse of a whale's head in the distance! Over the course of a little more than an hour, we saw the whale's head and tail flukes about 6-7 times, and at one point, a whale appeared right in front of us! There weren’t too many participants, so it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy it thoroughly. The staff was kind, and it was fun for everyone to search for the whales together!

Since it’s a small boat, I think it’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication as a precaution before participating. We drifted at sea for over an hour, and once you get seasick, it becomes difficult to enjoy watching the whales.

Also, depending on where you sit, there’s a possibility of getting splashed and wet, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting wet.

1月頭に午後帯で参加しました。
他のツアーもあり、迷いましたが、小さめでクジラにちょっとでも近づけるかも？と思ってこちらを申し込み。
天気は晴れでしたが、口コミで観れなかったという声もあったので、あまり期待しすぎずに。
小型のクルーズ船で15分ほど沖に出て、あとはその周辺でクジラが見えるのを待ちます。島の街並みが見えるほど島からもあまり離れていない場所だったので、どうかなと思いましたが、ものの10分ほどで、歓声が上がり、少し遠くにクジラの頭がちょこっと見れました！
それからも1時間ちょっとで6-7回はクジラの頭と尾ひれが見れ、すぐ目の前に現れたときも！参加人数もそこまで多くないので、人だかりで見えないということもなく、しっかり楽しめました。
スタッフの方も優しく、みんなでクジラを探すのも楽しかったです！

小型船ですので、酔い止めは予防も兼ねて飲んでから参加された方がいいと思います。1時間以上海を漂うので、一度酔ってしまうとクジラを見るどころではなくなってしまいます。

また、座る位置にもよりますが、水しぶきで服が濡れる可能性があるので、濡れても良い服装で参加されることをおすすめします。

I was wondering if I would be able to see anything in December, but I boarded the boat with a little hope. The cheerful and polite staff welcomed us warmly. Despite the strong sea breeze, they called out to each group of passengers and took photos one after another. I got to see the whale I had been longing for and the spouting water. I am grateful to the staff who anchored the boat in the sea and waited patiently. The vast blue ocean stretched out as far as the eye could see. I hope to ride this boat again someday for whale watching. By then, I’m sure I’ll be able to meet the whales…

We participated in whale watching for the first time as a parent and child. We were very moved to see two whales! We were able to witness breaching, which we had only seen on TV, right in front of us multiple times! I think there must be some timing involved, but it felt like we were quite lucky on the day we participated. My 6-year-old was captivated by the whales they saw for the first time. We created wonderful memories in Hawaii.

初めてのホエールウォッチングに親子で参加しました。
2頭のくじらに会えてとても感動しました^_^
テレビでしか見たことのないブリーチングも目の前で何度も見れました！
きっとタイミングなどあると思いますが私達が参加した日はかなりラッキーだったような気がします^_^
6歳の子供も初めて見るくじらに釘付けでした。
ハワイのとてもいい思い出ができました。

Whale behind Diamond Head! ❣️ ダイヤモンドヘッドバックにホエール❣️

Reviewed by: なべさんさん

I was looking forward to participating since they were confident about whale watching. They mentioned that if we didn't see any whales, we would receive a free pass for the next time. The explanations were easy to understand, and they said that humpback whales come up to breathe every 45 minutes. We saw over 30 whales swimming around, but they were hard to spot. Just when I was about to give up, suddenly they appeared! The first one was a baby, and the second was an adult whale, posing beautifully with Diamond Head in the background! It was an incredibly satisfying tour. It might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication on hand.

ホエールウォッチングに自信ありとのことでしたので、楽しみにして参加しました。万一見られなかった場合でも次回無料パスを頂けるとのこと。説明もわかりやすく、ザトウクジラは45分に1回海上に呼吸をしにくるとのことで、30以上回遊してましたが、中々現れず。今日はもう駄目かと諦めかけた瞬間、その時は突然やってきました。1頭目はベイビー、2頭目は大人のクジラで、ダイヤモンドモンドヘッドをバックにハイポーズ❣️
大大満足のツアーでした。船酔いの薬があった方が良いかも知れませんねー

First whale watching experience. 初めてのホエール・ウォッチング

Reviewed by: hero

With anticipation, I set sail, feeling the pleasant breeze and gazing at the coastline of Waikiki Beach. However, as time went by, my feelings became complicated with disappointment and sadness about not being able to see much. But when the boat finally reached the point where dolphins gather, everyone started taking pictures, and somehow that helped distract me a little.

As for my thoughts, I felt that we needed to go a bit further out to see more. Also, since the boat rocked quite a bit, I thought medication would be necessary.

期待を持ちながら、出航し気持ちいい風を感じながら、ワイキキビーチの海岸を眺め、海を見つめていましたが、時間がどんどん経つにつれ、段々見れないことに気持ちが、落ち込むことと、残念に思うことに複雑になってきましたが、最後イルカの集まるポイント！？に船が着くとみんな写真をパシャパシャと、何となくそれで少し、気がまぎれたようなかんじになりました！？
感想としては、もう少し沖に出ないと、見れるものも見れないのではと思った。
また、船が、だいぶ揺れるので、薬は必要と思った。

You can see whales from a distance. 遠目にくじらが見られる

Reviewed by: ゆたんぽ

The bus was supposed to arrive at 7:35, but it was about 10 minutes late. The Japanese people around me were quite anxious about the time. After confirming names, we received stickers to wear during the tour and set off. It took about 15 minutes to reach where the boat was docked. We boarded a large boat and waited for all the other tour participants to get on (we waited for about 30 minutes).

Both on the boat and in the bus, the air conditioning was extremely strong, making it quite cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket. It was warm when the sun was out, but since I tend to get cold easily, wearing Uniqlo's Ultra Light Down was just right for me. The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking.

There are bagels and drinks available for purchase on the boat, so you can have breakfast there, but it's more expensive compared to the ABC store (the drinks were about $4, if I remember correctly).

As for the whales, they surfaced a few times, but whether due to regulations or the size of the boat, we didn't get very close and mostly viewed them from a distance. During the ride, there were announcements in English (no Japanese) explaining about the marine life in Hawaii and the whales. Although we could only see the whales from afar, we were still able to enjoy the beautiful sea and Diamond Head, so I think it was a good value for the experience!

7:35に迎えが来る予定のはずでしたが、10分程度遅れてバスが到着。
時間に厳しい周りの日本人はそわそわしてました。
名前を確認し、ツアー中貼っておくシールをもらって出発。
船が停泊しているあたりまでは、約15分。大きな船に乗船し、他のツアー参加者が全員乗船するまで待ちます。（30分間くらい待った。）

船の上もですが、バスの中もACが強烈に効いていて激さむなので、
上着を持っていくことをおすすめします。
陽が当たる時は暖かいですが、わたしは寒がりなので、
ユニクロのウルトラライトダウンを着ててちょうど良かったかも。
船が大きいので、わたしはあまり揺れも感じませんでした。

船の中にはベーグルやドリンクも売ってるので、船の中で朝食は取れますが、ABC storeに比べると割高です（ドリンクはたしか$4だった）

肝心のくじらはというと、何回か海上の表面に現れましたが、規程があるのか、船が大きいからか、あまり近くには寄らず、だいぶ遠目から眺める感じでした。
乗船中は英語（日本語なし）でハワイの海洋生物の保護、くじらのことなど、アナウンス形式で説明してくれます。くじらは遠目にしか見れませんが、それでも綺麗な海やダイアモンドヘッドが見られたので、コスパは良いほうなのではと思います！
