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.

I had a great time. 楽しめました

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。

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!!).

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。

it rained the whole time we were in hawaii. but not on this day! we went out on the bay in haleiwa a short distance and saw many, many whales, not just the spouting blow holes, but actually jumping out of the water and splashing around. make sure you book while the whales are in town, from november to april, according to the guide.

Affordable お手頃

Reviewed by: ゆう

I decided to participate in whale watching since it was only available during the winter season. I opted for the transportation service, which made getting around easy. I was torn between taking a small boat, but I chose this larger boat because I was worried about seasickness. In reality, the waves were quite high, so I think it’s better for those who are prone to seasickness to choose this boat. I was able to see whales several times. However, since they weren't very close, it wasn't that moving. Still, the view from the sea was very beautiful, so I think it’s worth participating at least once.

ホエールウォッチングは、冬のシーズンだけということだったので参加してみました。
送迎付きにしたので移動が楽でした。
小さい船にするか迷ったのですが、船酔いが心配だったのでこちらの大きな船にしたのですが、実際結構波が高かったので、酔いやすい人はこの船にした方がいいと思います。
クジラは何度か見れました。ただ、間近ではないのでそんなに感動はしませんでした。でも、海からの景色もとてもきれいだったので、一度参加してみるのもいいかなと思います。

This is the Star of Honolulu. Thank you for your comment. The Star has three stabilizers, making it a relatively stable ship that minimizes motion. However, seasickness can vary from person to person, so if anyone is concerned, we have ginger pills, a herbal remedy made with ginger and mint, available for use.

Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, we cannot approach whales within 100 yards. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the scenery as well.

Thank you for boarding.

First whale watching 初ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: honu

This was my first time participating, and I had the chance to see whales about three times. The captain announces the direction to look for them, but since the ship's viewing area isn't structured for a full circle, if you're too far forward and a whale appears on the opposite side, it might be gone by the time you move across the ship. To avoid missing a fleeting opportunity, it might be safer to stay around the center. The whales appear small and distant, surfacing only briefly, so capturing a photo can be quite challenging.

Also, just before returning to the port, the ship unexpectedly stopped, and we were about 45 minutes late. There was no announcement explaining why we were stopped, so I spent that time not really knowing what was going on.

初めて参加しましたが、クジラは3回ほど見るチャンスがありました。
船長さんがアナウンスで何時の方向に見えるか教えてくれますが、船の展望スペースは一周できる構造になっていないため、あまり船の先頭にいると、反対側にクジラが現れた場合船内を移動している間にいなくなってしまいます。一瞬のチャンスを逃さないためにも中央らへんにいるのが安全かもしれません。クジラは遠くの方に小さく見えるだけで、海面に一瞬現れるくらいなので写真に収めるのもなかなか難しいです。
また、港に戻る手前でなぜか船が止まってしまい45分程オーバーしました。なぜ止まっているのか船内アナウンスはなく、よく分からないまま暇な時間を過ごしました。

Whale tour? クジラのツアー?

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The goal is not to see whales. It's better to think of it as enjoying the feeling of going out into the open sea, with the chance of seeing dolphins by chance. The campaign offers a deal where two people can go for the price of one, which felt like a good value. There were also two free drinks and some snacks, so it might be worth participating instead of aimlessly wandering around the city.

クジラを見ることが目的ではないです。
偶然イルカが見えただけで、外洋に出る気持ちよさを味わうと考えたほうがいいです。
キャンペーンで2人で1人分だからお得感はありました。
アルコールも2杯は無料でしたし、ちょっとしたお菓子もあるので、意味なく街をブラブラするぐらいなら参加してもいいのでは。

Thank you for participating in the whale watching cruise. During the tour, you can enjoy the views of Waikiki from the sea, sailing, and if you're lucky, observing wild dolphins and sea turtles. Regarding the whales, please understand that while the captains communicate with each other to search for them, there may be times when you cannot spot them during the cruise due to the nature of wild animals. We look forward to serving you again.

The tour was neither good nor bad. It was a nature tour where I caught a glimpse of a whale's spout and saw a bit of its tail, so I guess that's a plus. Breakfast was average. It was disappointing that the air conditioning on the boat was too cold! I was relieved when the air conditioning was turned off after we started heading back to port.

I appreciated that they provided interpretation in Japanese every time.

It was exciting! 盛り上がりました!

Reviewed by: mukumuku

We participated with six people ranging from my daughter in her 20s, to those in their 30s and 50s, and my mother who is 88 years old.

At the beginning, those who wanted to hear the explanation in Japanese gathered on the deck (which is netted and allows you to see the ocean below), while the explanations inside the ship were in English, so naturally, we chose the deck. Out of the six of us, four were honestly a bit nervous sitting on the net while listening to the explanation. The Japanese explanation was enjoyable and started the time well.

Everyone took motion sickness pills just in case, but I thought being on the deck would definitely be more fun, and if you stay on the deck, you probably won't get seasick.

We caught a glimpse of a whale shortly after the cruise started, but it was hard to see more after that. However, even without seeing whales, the lively staff made it very enjoyable. We saw another whale on the return trip.

Although it wasn't extremely close, we were able to see it spouting water. We also enjoyed the view of the Waikiki hotels from the sea.

It was mentioned that two drinks were included in the ticket price, but since it was a one-hour cruise, most people probably only had one drink! I enjoyed the champagne.

I thought the cruise duration could have been a bit longer. My 88-year-old mother also had a great time, and everyone was very satisfied.

We were lucky to participate at a discounted rate due to a campaign!

一番下は20代の娘から、30代、50代、最高は母88歳までの6人で参加。
はじめに、日本語の説明を聞きたい人はデッキ(ネットになっていて下は海面が見えるところ)で、船内は英語で説明ということでしたので当然デッキで。それも6人のうち4人は正直にネットの上におっかなびっくり座って説明を聞きました。日本語堪能そして楽しい説明で時間がスタート。 
一応全員酔い止めも飲んでいましたが、デッキの方が絶対楽しいし、デッキにいれば酔うこともまずないかなと思います。
クジラはクルーズスタートから間もなくちらっと見えてあとはなかなか。でもクジラが見えなくてもノリノリのスタッフでとても楽しんでいました。復路でもう一度クジラが見えました。
ものすごく近い距離ではなかったのですが、潮を吹くところも見ることが出来ました。
海から見えるワイキキのホテル群の景色も楽しめました。
2杯までアルコールはチケット代に入っているということでしたが、1時間のクルーズなのでほとんどの人は1杯かな!?シャンパンを美味しく頂きました。
もう少し長くてもいいかなと思うくらいのクルーズ時間でした。
88歳の母もとても楽しかったと全員大満足です。
今回はキャンペーン中ということでお安く参加出来てラッキー!

I couldn't see it, but it was a good boat trip in a short amount of time, I suppose? Unfortunately, I couldn't see it, but it was nice to relax on the boat while feeling the wind and enjoy the view from offshore rather than from the beach. The cost performance was good since it was two people for the price of one. It might be better to go in with the mindset that if you can see it, you'll be super lucky...

A touching experience for couples. 夫婦で感動

I participated in a trip with a silver couple.
Since I chose to meet on-site, I took THE BUS from my hotel in Waikiki to ALOHA TOWER. I was advised to arrive about 10 minutes early for the 8:00 AM meeting time, so I arrived about 30 minutes early. However, the OFFICE opened at 8:00 AM, and the STAFF arrived shortly after, so I think it would have been fine to arrive a bit later.
The whale watching was amazing; the STAFF and the captain provided detailed explanations about the whales' ecology before and after departure. I was deeply moved to see them spouting water multiple times and raising their tails.

whale watching

Reviewed by: hb

This was my first experince whale watching, had a blast! We were able to see 5 whales! After the boat was returning to shore, I went to the back of the boat and saw another whale. We did the Breakfast Cruise, water and coffee are free, everything else is a charge. Be one of the first ones outside, so you can have a good veiw by the railings. Also you will be standing outside on the deck to see the whales so be prepare as it is windy. I did enjoy that the naturalist on board was very informative about whales, she gave us lots of clues on what to look for when whale watching. I would recommed to this Cruise early on you vacation so as you travel the island you can find your own whales!

I participated on my honeymoon. I was able to see whales multiple times. While we were eating, whales kept appearing, and we were going back and forth between our seats and the deck. Looking back, I should have eaten first; the delicious food ended up getting cold...
Onboard, there were also activities like lei-making and hula classes, and I had a very enjoyable time.

ハネムーンで参加しました。クジラを何度も見る事ができました。ご飯を食べている間に何回もクジラが出てきて席とデッキを行ったりきたりでした。今思えばご飯を先に食べるべきでした、せっかく美味しい物が冷めてしまった…
船内ではレイ作り、フラ教室なども開催され、とても楽しい時間をすごすことができました。

Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
Whales can appear at any time, so there may be moments when it gets a bit busy with eating and going outside to see the whales.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the culture class as well.
All of our staff looks forward to welcoming you again.

Recommendation オススメ

Reviewed by: Coya

I had some concerns before participating due to reviews mentioning seasickness and not being able to see anything. However, the boat didn't sway violently at all; it was just a gentle rocking, and I didn't experience any seasickness. In fact, I was so drowsy from the motion sickness medication I took just in case that I almost dozed off while standing, haha.

As for the whales, I was thrilled to see them up close right from the start. I was able to see them several more times after that, and I got great video footage, so I was very satisfied.

口コミで船酔いや見れなかったなどの記事があり、参加前は正直不安はありました。ですが、激しく揺れることなどはなく、ゆっくり揺れる程度で船酔いは皆無。むしろ念のため飲んでおいた酔い止めの副作用で眠たくて立ちながら寝そうになってました 笑
肝心のくじらはと言うと、初っ端から近くで見れて感動でした。
その後も何回か見れてビデオにもばっちりとれて大変満足でした。

The wind was strong and the boat rocked, but I was satisfied to see the rare breaching. I wasn't sure where the meeting place was, but a Japanese person in line helped me by telling me to hand the printed reservation form to the counter to get the sticker to put on my clothes. I would like to participate again.

風が強くて船もゆれましたが、めずらしいブリーチングも見れて満足です。
集合場所がよくわからず、列に並んでいる日本人の方に、プリントアウトしたした予約用紙をカウンターで渡し、服に貼るシールをもらうことを教えてもらいました。
また、参加したいと思いました。

I felt a bit seasick, but I was able to see whales. The cultural experience was only in the afternoon. ちょっと船酔い、でもクジラ見れました。カルチャー体験は午後だけ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I took the morning cruise, which was an early start, and I boarded feeling a bit sleep-deprived and hungry, so I experienced some seasickness. However, after receiving medication from the staff, I felt better.

I actually brought breakfast bread to eat on the boat, but it seems that outside food was not allowed. They were selling a breakfast buffet on board.

The whales appeared shortly after the cruise began, and although I only saw parts of them, like their backs and spouts, I definitely spotted them several times. I also saw many dolphins.

Since we were on the boat for quite a long time, some people looked bored. I would have been very satisfied if there had been a cultural experience on board, but it seems they don't offer that on the morning cruise.

Overall, while it wasn't an incredibly moving experience (I didn't see the whales in a dynamic way), and the long duration made it a bit dull at times, I feel like I accomplished my goal of "seeing whales."

お得な午前便にしたので朝が早く、寝不足・空腹で乗ったのでちょっと船酔いしました。スタッフに薬をもらってからは改善しました。
実は船の中で食べようと朝食のパンを持参していたのですが、持ち込み禁止だったようです。
船の中で朝食ブッフェを販売していました。

クジラは、開始後すぐに姿を現し、背中や潮吹きなど、部分的ではありますが確かに何度も見れました。
イルカもたくさん見ました。

けっこう長時間乗っているので退屈そうにしている人もいました。
船内でのカルチャー体験があれば大満足だったのですが、午前便はやっていないそうです。

総合的な感想としては、ものすごい感動体験ではなかった(クジラがダイナミックに見れたわけではなかった)のと、時間が長くて途中退屈気味でしたが、「クジラを見る」という目的だけは果たせたかな、という感じです。

Thank you for your comment. Regarding the meals, there are port regulations that prohibit bringing outside food and drinks on board. (Similarly, it is also not allowed to take items provided on the ship outside.) We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you for boarding with us this time.

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

Fun, fun, fun!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Went on the morning whale watch and had a grand time. Easy pick-up from downtown Waikiki, took you to the boat and boarded. Get to take a picture as a family, and then they give you an in depth description about humpback whales and their migratory patterns and everything else you wanted to know!

They have a kids program too, where they take the extra time after they explain it to everyone to make sure the little ones understand everything they said!

Saw a few whales this morning, unfortunately none of them were jumping, but they were very awesome none-the-less! I highly reccomend this activity to anyone who has never seen whales in the wild before, as it was definitely an experience I will never forget!

The Star of Honolulu is also an boat in excellent condition and they take care to make sure each and every passenger gets to spot a whale!

Whales & Dolphins クジラ&イルカ

Reviewed by: tomo

I participated with four people, including his parents.
We saw the whales spouting water and their tails a few times.
I felt more movement than I expected, so for those who are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking the motion sickness medication that was distributed right after boarding.

It felt like an elegant cruising experience, so I think families can enjoy it.
However, for those who really want to see whales up close, a smaller boat might be better.
The ukulele and hula dance lessons were very enjoyable.

彼の両親と4名で参加しました。
クジラは塩を吹く所と尾びれが数回見られました。
思ったよりも揺れを感じたので、船酔いがひどい方は乗船後すぐに配られていた酔い止めを飲むといいかと思います。

優雅なクルージングをしている感じだったので、ファミリーで楽しめると思います。
がっつりクジラを見たい!という人は小型の船の方がいいのかな、と思います。
ウクレレやフラダンスのレッスンがとても楽しかったです。

Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. This cruise not only includes whale watching but also offers Hawaiian culture lessons, making it especially enjoyable for families. On certain days, there are very active whales that may perform large actions close by. If you have the opportunity, please come back to search for such whales.

I didn't encounter the powerful scenes of whales in the ocean like those seen on television, but I was moved by the steam from their breaths and the glimpse of their tails.

Although it can't be helped that we didn't see any whales, I felt that the tour itself was different from what whale watching should be.

The staff also seemed to respond with, "Huh? Whale watching? I hope you see some," which didn't give me much confidence.

I think for the other guests, it was advertised as a yacht cruise. We were completely misled.

クジラがまったく見えなかったのは
仕方ないとはいえ、
ツアー自体が、ホエールウォッチングとは
違う内容だと感じました。

スタッフも、え?ホエールウォッチング?
見えるといいね、

ヨットのクルーズとうたっていると思う。
まんまと騙されました。
