I was able to see whales! I participated with my 5-year-old daughter, but she didn't seem very impressed, perhaps because of the distance to the whales. The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly, so my husband and I had a great time.
The boat hardly rocked, so I don't think anyone would get seasick.
クジラ見られました!
5歳の娘と参加したましたが、娘はクジラまでの距離があるせいか、あまり感動していないようでした(@_@;)
料理も美味しかったし、スタッフの方もフレンドリーだし、夫と私はとても楽しかったです。
船もほとんど揺れないので、酔うこともないと思います。

I participated in December. Since it was the beginning of the season, I thought the chances of seeing anything were low, and indeed, I didn't see much. I think I caught a glimpse of a dolphin. The boat was comfortable. For those who didn't see anything, they seem to offer retry tickets valid until April (during this season), but since I can't come to Hawaii that often, I hope they can make it valid for next year as well...
12月に参加しました。
シーズンの初めだったので、見られる可能性は低いと思っていましたが、
やはり見られませんでした。
いるかがちょっと見えたような。
船は快適でした。
見られなかった人には、4月まで(今シーズン中)のリトライのチケットをくれるようですが、
そんなに頻繁にはハワイにこられないので、
来年も使えるようにしてくれるとよいと思うのですが・・・

I could only see the whale's fins and tail, but the deep blue, beautiful sea was stunning! Also, there were so many people that when the whale appeared, everyone crowded to that side, so I couldn't take many photos of the whale!
クジラは手や尾しか見れなかったのですが、真っ青で綺麗な海がとてもきれいでした!
また、人数がとても多くてクジラが現れるとそっち側に皆が寄るのでクジラの写真はあまり撮れなかったです!

I was torn between the Star of Honolulu and the Navatek, but choosing the Navatek based on experiences was the right decision. The morning tour doesn't include a meal, but since the goal was to see whales, it actually worked out well (lunch is after disembarking, back in Waikiki). We set sail almost at the same time as the Star, but even after the Star returned to port about 30 minutes after reaching the viewpoint, we continued to search for whales. The vessel is specifically designed for whale watching, making it very easy to see, and I highly recommend it.
スターオブホノルル号かこちらかで悩んだのですが、体験談などをもとにナバテック号を選んだのは正解でした。午前のツアーで食事もついていませんが、クジラを見るのが目的なのでむしろ良かったとも言えます(ランチは下船後、ワイキキに戻って)。スター号とほぼ同時に出航しましたが、スター号がビューポイント到着から30分くらいで帰港していった後も、クジラを求めて動いてくれました。船体もホエールウオッチング専用にできているのでとても見やすくおすすめです。

This was my several times visiting Hawaii, and since there was a whale watching tour available, I signed up with high expectations.
We were able to see the whales spouting water and occasionally showing their tails in a location not far from Honolulu, but there were no jumps or anything like that; it felt more like they were swimming gracefully, which lacked a bit of excitement. So, I was a bit disappointed...
However, the weather was nice, and I didn't have to worry about seasickness. Among the boats around us, the Star of Honolulu was the largest and most stylish!
Next time, I definitely want to see them jump and get my revenge!
何度目かのハワイで、ホエールウォッチングの設定がある時でしたので、期待して申込ました。
ホノルルからさほど離れていない場所で潮を吹くところや尾びれをちらっと見せたりと見ることは出来ましたが、ジャンプするとかは無く優雅に泳いでる感じで迫力に欠けたかなという事で、う~ん!少し残念・・・
でも、お天気も良く船酔いする心配もなく、周りにいた船のなかでは一番大きくてカッコイイスターオブホノルル号でした!
次回はぜひジャンプを身にリベンジしたいです。

On December 30, 2013, I participated with my family of six. Whether or not we encounter whales is purely a matter of luck, so there's nothing we can do about that. What we saw were the distant spouts and the tail of a whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't have an experience that we could truly say was "seeing a whale." The weather was nice, so I comforted myself by thinking of it as a cruise. Since it was early in the morning, we opted for a breakfast plan, but given the price, I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out as expected. There was quite a bit of time before we reached the whale watching point, so it might be nice to have a light snack and drink some coffee while passing the time. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have issues seeing the whales, but it would have been great if we had encountered them. What a shame.
2013/12/30に家族6名で参加しました。くじらに巡り合えるかどうか、こればかりは運ですので仕方ありませんが、見えたのは遠~くのくじらの潮吹きとくじらの尾びれでした。
残念ながら”くじらを見た”と言える体験はできませんでした。お天気はよかったので、クルーズをしたと思って自分をなぐさめました。朝早かったので、朝食つきプランにしましたが、まあこの値段ですし期待はしていませんでしたが予想どおり。くじらのポイントまではけっこう時間があったので、軽く食べてコーヒーでも飲みながら時間をつぶすにはいいのではないでしょうか。人が多すぎてクジラがみえないとかそういうことはなかったので、くじらにさえ出会えていればよかったですね。残念。

First of all, the ship was too cold. It's better to bring a jacket.
Also, everything on the ship is in English only.
I was able to see whales in the distance, but they were much farther away than I had imagined, so I could only see them briefly and they looked small.
After that, there was nothing to do but wait to return, so I spent a lot of time just passing the time. There was too much free time, and I wish there had been some kind of event.
I wouldn't really recommend it.
まず、船内が寒すぎ。羽織物を持参した方がよい。
また、船内は全て英語オンリーです。
遠くの方で鯨がみれましたが、想像していたのよりだいぶ離れているので小さくしかみえず一瞬でした。
後は帰るのみなので時間をかなり弄びました。フリー時間がありすぎるので何かイベント的なものがあればよいのに。。
あまりおすすめしません。

In the morning, I spotted a whale in the distance, and since it was far away, I was able to participate for free in the afternoon as well. In the afternoon, I was able to see the whale up close, which was amazing!! The crew was kind, and at the end, I could buy photos of the whales we saw today. I couldn't take good pictures with my own camera, so it became a nice memento. The food was delicious, but when you're engrossed in watching the whales, you don't have the chance to eat. I definitely want to participate again next time.
午前中、遠くの方にクジラを発見したのですが、遠かったということで、午後も無料で参加することができました。午後は近くでクジラを見ることができて最高でした!!
クルーの方も親切だったし、最後に今日見たクジラの写真を買うこともできます。
自分のカメラでは上手く撮れなかったので、いい記念になりました。
ご飯は美味しかったのですが、クジラに夢中になると食べる余裕がなくなっちゃいますね。

I signed up for this experience because my companion, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, wanted to go on a boat, see whales, and dance the hula—all in one package. Although the wind was strong, the boat was large enough that I felt comfortable. We saw the whales' tails twice. The activities were divided into three parts: hula, ukulele, and lei-making. My friend was thrilled to finally dance as she had always wanted. The staff was also very friendly. Next time, I want to go when the whales are more active.
ハワイが初めての同行者が希望した、船に乗りたい・クジラを見たい・フラダンスを踊りたいがまとめて叶うので、申し込みました。風が強かったですが、船が大きいので、弱い私も大丈夫でした。クジラは尾だけ2回見られました。フラとウクレレとレイ作りの3つに分かれて教えてくれました。友人は念願かなって楽しそうに踊っていました。スタッフも親切でした。今度はクジラが活発な時期に行ってみたいです。

The scenery was absolutely stunning, so I thought it was okay if I didn't get to see any whales. I was worried about getting seasick, but it was actually very comfortable and I didn't feel sick at all.
The whales surfaced several times, spouting water, and when they dove, I could see their large tails. Right after we set off, we saw a sea turtle, and on the way back, we were able to see a lot of flying fish. I'm glad I took the Navatek.
とにかく景色が素晴らしかったので、クジラに会えなくても仕方ないかと思ったくらいです。船酔いが心配だったのですが、実に快適で全く酔うこともありませんでした。
クジラは何度も海面まで上昇し潮吹きし、潜る時には大きな尾ビレが並んで見えました。出発してすぐにウミガメを、帰りにはたくさんのトビウオを見ることができました。ナバテック号に乗って良かったです。

From March 24, 2014, for one week, my family took our first trip to Hawaii (Maui). Since we weren't interested in package tours, I researched and chose one of the option tours myself. I was skeptical about whether we could really see whales so close to the port, but... it seemed like three whales were swimming together, possibly a mother and her calf? To my great fortune, one of the whales jumped out of the water! I couldn't help but let out a joyful shout. The boat searched around for spots where the whales might surface. Nearby, small boats seemed to gather, perhaps aware of the sonar capabilities of the Star of Honolulu. At the end of the enjoyable cruise, we were also able to see a pod of about ten dolphins, making it a truly satisfying whale watching experience.
2014年3月24日から1週間、家族で初めてのハワイ(マウイ島)旅行でした。パッケージツアーに興味がないので、自分であれこれ調べてオプションツアーの一つとしてチョイスしました。港からそんなに遠くない範囲で本当にクジラを見ることができるのか半信半疑だったのですが・・・3頭が一緒に回遊していたようですが、親子でしょうか?なんと幸運にもそのうちの1頭のクジラが海中からジャンプしたのです。歓喜の叫び声が思わず漏れてしまいました。船はクジラ達が海面に出てきそうな場所を探して探し回ります。近くにはスターオブホノルル号のおそらくソナーの性能を知ってか小さなボートも群がってきますね。楽しいクルーズの最後には10数頭の群れをなすイルカも見ることができて本当に満足のいくホエールウォッチングになりました。

I participated because I wanted to see whales that are unique to this season. I didn't have high expectations since I heard mixed reviews about whether people saw them or not, but luckily, the weather was clear and hot that day, and I was able to see 5 to 6 breaches! I think I was very lucky. Since photos capture moments, it might be better to use video instead. Also, I opted for the breakfast option, but if you take your time eating, you might miss the moments, so it might not have been necessary. Sorry to the tour staff.
この時期ならではのホエールを見たくて参加。クチコミはあまり見れなかったとか見れたとか色々で運不運もあるかと期待しなかったのですが、この日は晴天で暑かったことも幸いしてか、5~6回の背うちが見れました!とてもラッキーだったと思います。写真は瞬間なので難しいのでムービーかビデオがいいかもしれません。それと朝食付きにしたのですが、ゆっくり食べていると瞬間見逃す場合もあるので無くてもよかったかもしれません。ツアーの方すみません。

I signed up because I wanted to take pictures of whales. Since it was the end of the season on April 13, and someone who went in January said they "didn't see any," I participated without much expectation... But, wonderfully, the whales showed up! In fact, they appeared 4 to 5 times (their heads?). I couldn't hear the captain's (or guide's?) announcements about whale sightings well in English, but I followed the dash of the foreign children, and somehow managed to take some pictures. It would have been perfect if I could have taken photos a bit closer, but seeing this much is enough, right!? I signed up without lunch this time, and it was the right choice because if I wanted to keep taking pictures, there wouldn't have been time to eat.
クジラの写真を撮りたくて申し込みました。
4/13ということでシーズン終わりで、1月に行った人が「見れなかった」と言っていたので、期待せず参加しましたが・・・。
見事、クジラさん出てくれました!それも4~5回(頭?)も!
船長(?)によるクジラ発見案内は英語でよく聞き取れなかったのですが、外国の子供たちの歓声とともにダッシュする後をついて行って、写真を何とか撮ることが出来ました。
もう少し近くで撮影することができれば最高ですが、これだけ見れれば十分でしょう!?
今回ランチなしで申し込みましたが、常に写真を撮りたかったら食事している暇はなかったので正解でした。

3~4頭の鯨の潮吹きや背びれ・尾ひれを海面に出すところを見ることができました。結構な頻度で姿を現したので、それなりに満足できるツアーでした。

I'm glad I got to see wild whales for the first time, but they didn't jump or anything, so I didn't feel much excitement. But I guess that's just how whales are (laughs). They seemed to swim alongside us for a long time, occasionally blowing air and showing their backs. The staff were all very nice, and you could tell they wanted to make it enjoyable for everyone. It's a big boat, so it's less likely to make you seasick, but it's still a good idea to take some motion sickness medication just in case.
野生のクジラを初めて見れてよかったですが、ジャンプなどしてくれるわけでなかったので迫力は感じられませんでした。でもこれはクジラの気分なのでしょうがないです(笑)
ずっと横には泳いでいたようなのですが、時々潮を吹いて背中が見えるくらい。

It was too bad that it didn't jump high, but it was still exciting to see their backs and tails. The leis and ukulele class were on at the same time.

My friend was visiting Oahu for the first time, so I chose this experience thinking we could enjoy various aspects of Hawaiian culture on board. We made leis, danced hula, and played the ukulele. Since it was a weekday, there were no group tours, so we didn't have to wait in long lines for the buffet. Depending on where you sit, it seems you could also see dolphins and whales. It might be worth a visit.
お友達が、オアフ島への訪問が初めてだったので・・船内でハワイの文化を色々体験できると思い選びました。レイを作ったり、フラダンスを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いたり、平日だった為か団体ツアーが入っておらずバイキングでも長蛇の列を並ぶ必要はありませんでした。座る場所次第でイルカやクジラも見えた様です。行ってみても良いかも。

Our cruise was a lot of fun for us all. My son asked to go do it again so we could see more whales. I would definetly do one of these cruises again.

We had a great time on the Star of Honolulu. The ship was comfortable and clean. The rails offered a great platform for picture taking and whale watching. Only minutes out of Honolulu harbor the first whales were sighted. We followed along with them for about 1/2 hour. They would surface every 5 minutes or so. On the way back up to Diamondhead we encountered another pod. After watching them for awhile, it was time for the morning trip to end. All in all... this was one of many highlights for our visit to Oahu.

The price for breakfast included for a family of four is cheap, and all the crew members were kind and friendly, which made the children happy. It was a bit disappointing that we were able to see whales a few times and were satisfied, but I think it would have been even better if we could have seen them up close.
家族4人で朝食付きでこの値段は安い、クルーのみんなも優しく親切で子供たちも喜んでいました。ちょっと残念だったのは、クジラは何度か見ることができて満足できたのですが、もっと間近で見れれば最高だと思います。ぬ
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
Due to Hawaiian law, we cannot bring the boat very close to the whales, but on some days, the whales may approach the boat, allowing you to see them up close. We encourage you to try again.
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。
ハワイの法律で鯨のすぐ近くに船を寄せる事ができませんが、日によっては鯨の方から船に近づいて来る場合もあり、すぐ目の前に見る事が出来る日もあります。是非、またチャレンジしてみてください。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

The whale showed its tail and pectoral fins several times. Even without a tour, you can see whales from points like Makapu'u during this season, but you can't get as close as you can on a tour. I wish I could have seen it jump!
しっぽと胸ビレをバタバタ何度か見せてくれました。
ツアーでなくてもこの時期はマカプウ等の岬からもクジラみれますが、やはりツアーほどの近いポジションで拝めることはなかったです。
ジャンプが見れたらよかったなぁ!
