We participated in a whale watching tour as a family of four. The size of the boat was large, it swayed little, and it was comfortable. The hospitality and the cake were delicious. However, it was a bit disappointing that we didn't see the whales we were hoping for.
But we were able to see Diamond Head and Aloha Tower from the sea, which can only be viewed from the land, and the vast ocean that stretched on endlessly provided breathtaking views that exceeded our expectations. Although we didn't see any whales, the stunning scenery we experienced more than made up for it.
I believe the various people from different countries who joined the tour were also satisfied. Since we participated from Japan, it’s difficult to visit again soon, but I look forward to joining again next time. Thank you very much.
家族4人でホエールウォッチングツアーに参加しました。
船の規模も大きく揺れも少なく快適、おもてなしのケーキも美味しかったです。
ただ期待してた鯨が見れなかったのが少し残念です。
でも陸地からしか見れないダイアモンドヘッド、アロハタワーを海側から見れたり、ずっと続く広大な海海、期待以上の絶景の展開ばかりでした。鯨が見れなかったけれど、見られた絶景が十分カバーされていました。
一緒にツアーに参加していたいろいろな国々の方も満足されたと思います。
日本からの参加なので、すぐにまた訪れることは難しいですが、次に参加した時に楽しみにしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
鯨は気まぐれです。
海側からの絶景は期待していいと思います。
Thank you very much for bringing your family aboard the Star of Honolulu. We are sorry that you were unable to see the whales, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the morning cruise. We also appreciate the wonderful photos you shared. The view of Diamond Head from the ship is truly exceptional, isn't it? Thank you for your positive review. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの生態が見れなかったのが残念でしたが、朝のクルーズを楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。素敵なお写真も有難う御座います。船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドもまた格別ですよね。ポジティブな口コミも有難うございました。又のお越しをお待ちしております。

The banana cake served on board was delicious! There were paper captain hats and coloring pages available for the kids, which made our time on the ship enjoyable and meaningful. Additionally, thanks to the staff's encouragement, we were all excitedly focused on the directions where we might see something, and when we finally spotted it, we all celebrated together. It was a wonderful experience.
船内で提供されるバナナケーキがおいしかったです!子ども用に紙の船長キャップや、塗り絵が用意されていて、船内での時間を有意義に過ごすことができました。また、スタッフの方の声かけで、見える可能性のある方向をわいわい注目して、見えた瞬間にみんなで喜べたことがとても良い時間でした。

After setting sail in nice weather, we waited while enjoying pineapple banana cake and coffee as we approached the point. The crew provided explanations about whales, but it was disappointing that I couldn't understand the English. Just when I was starting to give up thinking we might not see any whales today, they finally made an appearance, so I felt lucky.
お天気が良い中の出航後、パイナップルバナナケーキとコーヒーをいただきながらポイントへ近づくのを待ちます。クルーの方から鯨についての説明もありましたが、英語がせっかくのお話が分からなかったので残念。なかなかクジラが現れずに今日はダメかな?と諦めかけた頃にやっと姿を現してくれたのでラッキーでした。
When a whale was about to appear, there was an announcement saying, "It's in which direction," so it was fine even if you didn't understand English.
クジラが現れそうになると「何時の方向にいる」とアナウンスがあるので英語が分からなくても大丈夫でした。

I was really looking forward to it because there was a guarantee that we would definitely see whales, but we hardly saw any. There were announcements that the tail had come up to the surface two or three times, but by the time we went to look, they had already disappeared. I didn't get to see the whales' large forms at all. I came all the way here in winter for this, so I was a bit disappointed.
必ずホエールが見れる保証がついてるのですごく期待していましたが、ほとんど見れませんでした。
2、3回尾鰭が水面に出たと放送があって見に行ったらすでに消えました。

This was my first time participating in a whale watching tour. I requested a hotel pickup, and the pickup location was at the Hyatt at 7:25 AM. We arrived at 7:10 AM. There were various tour buses coming and going, and starting around 7:20 AM, I began asking the drivers of the arriving buses if they were the one we were supposed to take.
The bus finally arrived at 7:35 AM, and I felt relieved. I informed an elderly couple who were also participating and we boarded the bus. However, we didn’t leave right away; it seemed the staff were waiting for other participants who hadn’t arrived yet. The missing participant showed up at 7:45 AM, and we finally departed. However, at two more pickup locations, we waited for additional participants, and we arrived at the port at 8:50 AM. I was impressed by the staff's dedication in waiting for everyone.
After that, we boarded the boat, but it seemed we were the last ones from the bus, as the other participants had already finished their snacks. I looked for an available seat and took a moment to relax, but I didn’t know where the snack area was. I then noticed that others from our bus had snacks, which helped me find out where the snack area was.
The staff at the snack area were very polite, and when I later asked about the restroom, they kindly explained in English so I could understand. We set sail shortly after, and the other participants began heading to the deck, so I hurried to grab a snack and followed them.
Once on the deck, I was amazed by the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the vastness of the ocean. Just that alone made me feel glad I participated. Thanks to the hard work of the captain and crew, we were able to see whales a few times, even from a distance. I would definitely like to do this again.
今回初めてホエールウォッチしたに参加しました
ホテル送迎でお願いして、ピックアップ場所はハイヤットで7:25でした、私達は7:10に到着しました
そこは様々なツアーバスが入れ替わり立ち替わり来ていて、7:20頃から到着したツアーバスの方に当該バスかを尋ねて行きました
7:35に当該バスが到着して、ほっとして、同じく参加される年配ご夫婦にも伝えてバスに乗り込みました、その後直ぐ出発しなくて、どうやらまだ来てないツアー参加者をスタッフが待っているようでした、7:45にその方が来て漸く出発しました、しかしその後の2か所のピックアップ場所で、来ない参加者を待ち、港に到着したのは8:50でした、スタッフの方の懸命に待つ姿に感銘しました
その後、船に乗船しましたが私達バス参加者が最後のようで、他の参加者は軽食を食べ終わっていました、空いている座る場所を探して、一息ついて軽食の場所が分からず、一緒のバス参加されるが軽食持っている事に気づいて、軽食の場所がわかりました
軽食場所のスタッフは丁寧に対応して下さり、その後にトイレの場所を聞いた時も丁寧に分かるように英語で説明して下さりました
その後直ぐ出航したので、他の参加者は、船のデッキへ向かい始めたので、急いで軽食頂いて後に続きました
デッキに上がるとワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドや海の雄大さに感激しました
これだけでも参加して良かったと思いました
船長始め乗組員達の懸命な働きにより数度遠いながら鯨を見る事が出来ました

I was able to see whales a few times, and I also got to see dolphins up close along the way, making it a satisfying tour. The only downside was that the whales were far away, so I couldn't really grasp their size. The crew also kept things lively during the tour, which was fun. It was great to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea as well.

We had an incredible experience. It was early in the season so we didn’t think we were going to see anything. The crew told us to hurry and board as some other boats had said they saw some whales out there. We had been out for maybe 20 minutes and we saw a couple of spouts in the distance between two boats. We were all looking way out at those spouts when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a male humpback jumped straight up out of the water and breached about 15 yards in front of our boat!!! No one got a picture because we weren’t expecting it and we all just watched it unbelievably in that moment! It doesn’t get any better than that! The captains were so helpful and knowledgeable!

For those who are not proficient in English, there was no explanation in Japanese at all. I understand that there were only two of us Japanese participants along with one other person, but... Also, there was a sign saying there would be snacks and drinks, but we ended up not knowing when we could use them. This is because the whale watching point was really close by, and while we were looking for whales on the deck, it all ended before we knew it. By that time, the food had been taken away, and everyone was looking for something to eat, but there was nothing to be found. While I was indeed moved to see the whales, the staff on the boat were lacking. The hula dance on the boat was just a simple hula dance by a young girl from the staff? The staff seemed to be having fun, but... In the end, most people didn't put anything in the tip box. I did put in a little because it was mentioned in the tour description that tips were necessary, but I don't think it was really needed.
英語が得意でない方は、まずは何も日本語の説明はありません。日本人参加は私達2人とあと1人のみで仕方ないとは思いますが…そしておやつや飲み物がありますとの表示ですが、いつ利用できるのかわからないまま終わってしまいました。なぜなら鯨ポイントは本当にすぐ近くで、デッキで鯨を探しているうちに終わってしまい、その頃には食べ物も下げられ、食べ物をみんな探していましたがどこにも見当たらず。確かに鯨は見れて感動しましたが、船のスタッフがイマイチ。船の上のフラダンスも、船に乗っていたスタッフの若い女の子の簡単フラダンス?スタッフは盛り上がっていましたが…最後チップを入れるBOXにもほとんどの人が入れてなく…とりあえずチップ必要と、ツアーの説明に書いてあったので少しは入れましたが必要ないかと。
Aloha,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for your honest and valuable feedback. We are truly pleased to hear that seeing the whales was an emotional experience for you. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the many aspects of the tour's operation and guidance that did not meet your expectations.
First, we deeply regret that there was very little explanation in Japanese, and we acknowledge that we did not adequately consider customers who are not proficient in English. Regardless of the number of Japanese participants, we should provide clearer guidance, and we will take this to heart as a point for improvement moving forward.
Additionally, we apologize for the unclear timing of the snacks and drinks, which ultimately led to you not being able to utilize them. Even if the schedule changes due to the appearance of whales, there should have been clear announcements from the staff. We will share this point among our team and strive to improve.
We also take seriously the fact that we did not meet your expectations regarding the onboard entertainment, staff responses, and information about tipping. While tipping is entirely voluntary and not mandatory, we regret that the explanation was insufficient, causing you any anxiety.
The feedback you provided is extremely important for our future service improvement. We will share it with all staff and aim for a tour operation that provides greater satisfaction.
Once again, thank you for your valuable comments. We will strive to welcome you in a better way if there is another opportunity.

まず、日本語での説明がほとんどなかった点につきまして、英語が得意でないお客様への配慮が十分でなかったことを深く反省しております。日本人のお客様の参加人数に関わらず、より分かりやすいご案内を行うべきであり、今後の改善課題として真摯に受け止めてまいります。

Aloha, thank you very much for participating in the tour on December 5, 2025. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
We are truly sorry to hear that you were unable to see any whales that day, especially since it was the beginning of the season. However, we are grateful for your kind words about the captain's service.
Whale watching is dependent on nature, and there may be times when encounters are not possible. To address this, we offer a "Whale Guarantee," which allows you to reboard for free until whales are spotted.
We hope that when you visit Hawaii again, you will take advantage of this guarantee and join us for another tour. Your advice regarding the boat's movement, splashes, clothing, and motion sickness remedies will be very helpful for future guests. We also appreciate your feedback about the English tour, as your comment that "you can enjoy it even if you're not fluent in English" will encourage many others.
We will do our utmost to ensure that you can see the magnificent whales next time. We look forward to the day we can meet again.

I thought this was a tour that you can only experience during this season! At first, I was really worried about whether we would actually see anything, but I was glad to be able to witness the whales' spouts and the moment they dive for the first time.
この時期だからこそいけるツアーだと思いました!
最初は本当に見えるのか不安でしたが初めて鯨の潮や潜る瞬間を見ることができよかったです。

We saw more people sea sick instead of whales. Only 2 turtles and a few dolphins were spotted. The boat ride was fine and they do offer you can go back again if you don’t see any whales.

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and the view of Diamond Head and the deep blue sea and sky from the ocean was stunning. Even if we hadn't encountered any whales, I would have been completely satisfied just with the cruise. Just when I was about to give up, the whales finally appeared! The sight of two of them slapping their tails on the water's surface was incredibly powerful. We were able to see them closer than I had imagined. They showed up again in another spot, and I was absolutely thrilled. The kids were also very excited!
いいお天気に恵まれて、沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや真っ青な海と空。
もしもクジラに出会えなくても、遊覧だけでも大満足、思っていたところ...
諦めかけた頃に、ついにクジラが現れました!
2頭並んで尻尾を海面に打ち付ける様子は迫力満点。想像していたよりも近くで見れました。
その後もまた別の場所でも現れて、
大大満足です。
子どもたちも大興奮でした!
The wind is very strong.
風がとても強いです

I think it's less likely to get seasick on a large ship, but when you go up to the fourth deck for whale watching, the height increases the swaying, so it feels quite shaky. If you're concerned, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
We were able to spot quite a few whales. While we didn't see any huge jumps with half their bodies out of the water, we did see them spouting water and their tails and dorsal fins coming out of the surface multiple times. I thought it would be difficult to search in the vast ocean, but since everyone is watching, you quickly notice when they appear, and it creates quite a buzz. There was also another small boat on a tour nearby, and if that boat is stopped, it means they are observing whales in that area, which makes it easy to understand.
大型の船なので酔いにくい方だとは思いますが、クジラウォッチのために4階甲板の上まで出ると、高くなる分揺れの幅が増幅されるため、体感的にはかなり揺れる気がします。ご心配な方は酔い止めおすすめします。
クジラは結構目撃することができました。体半分飛び出すような大ジャンプは見られませんでしたが、潮吹いたり、尾びれ・背びれ?が水面から出てきたりするのは何度も見ることができました。だだっ広い海原で探すのが大変かと思いましたが、みんなが見ているので現れるとわーっとなるのですぐ気がつきます笑。同時に別の小型の船もツアーで近くにいましたが、その船が止まっている場合はその近くにいる(観察中)ということなので、それもわかりやすいです。
The wind is strong and the sunlight is intense, so it seems better to have something to wear over your clothes. Be careful as hats can get blown away.
風が強く日差しもきついので羽織るものがあった方が良さそうです。帽子は飛ばされるので注意。

I was worried about seasickness and took some motion sickness medication, but the waves were less intense than I expected, and I was totally fine. As for the whale watching, I was starting to think we might not see anything, but then I spotted a spout in the distance! Cheers erupted, and in response, the whale showcased its spouts and tail several times. Seeing it live was truly moving.
船酔いが心配で酔い止め飲みまいたが、思ったより揺れが少なく、全然平気でした。
肝心のホエールウォッチはなかなか見当たらずもしかして、見れないのでは? と思っていたら、遠くにシューっと潮吹きを発見!歓声が上がり、それに答えるように何度も潮吹きや尾びれを披露してくれました。生で見るとほんと感動です。
There is a temperature difference between land, sea, and inside the ship, so it's important to pay attention to your clothing and bring something to wear over your outfit.
陸上、海上と船内の気温差がありますので、一枚羽織れるものなど、服装に注意が必要です。

The crew was very knowledgeable and attentive.
We had a perfect day and saw several whales.
The pod that passed us gave a great show of surfacing and waving their flukes.
The boat was clean and safe. It was the best experience of my trip!!!!!!
Bring sunscreen.
Take some pictures, but didn't forget to just enjoy the day

Whales are whimsical.
I think you can expect a stunning view from the ocean side.
