2.5 Hour Honolulu Whale Watch Cruise on the Majestic with Waikiki & Diamond Head Views [Dec - Apr]

Whale Watching

Reviewed by: VMJTexas

I wish the whales had been more active. Whales aside. The food was great. The boat was unique. The water was incredible. An all round good afternoon.

I saw a whale! くじらみえた!

Reviewed by: ゆずぽん

On the day of the reservation, there was a tsunami warning in Honolulu due to an earthquake in Chile. Transportation in the city was halted in preparation for the tsunami. I called the staff and was able to reschedule for the next day. I was relieved that there were staff members who spoke Japanese.

As for the whales, I was glad to see several of them. The kids were very excited, and I was satisfied with that. However, the lunch package was a bit chaotic; with the announcement of "There are whales!" everyone was too distracted to enjoy the meal, so it might be better to go without lunch.

予約当日、チリの地震の影響でホノルルは津波警報。市内は津波に備え交通もストップ。スタッフに電話して翌日に振り替えてもらいました。日本語OKなスタッフで安心しました。
肝心のクジラですが、数頭見ることができてよかったです。子供も大興奮、これには満足です。ただしランチ付きのコースは「クジラがいた!」とのアナウンスで食事そっちのけで右へ左へで落ち着かないのでランチなしがいいかも…。

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

Enjoyable Experience!

Reviewed by: Rosie

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!

Whale watching ホエールウオッチング

Reviewed by: olymas

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。

It was a large ship... so I felt a bit anxious, but my intuition was right.

I recommend it for those who get seasick or are going whale watching for the first time! Since it's a large ship, you can relax and enjoy your time on board.

However, for those who just want to see whales, a slightly smaller boat might 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 was able to see a lot, even from a distance. 遠くだけど沢山見れました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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 was moved by the dynamic whale performance! ダイナミックなクジラのパフォーマンスに感動!

Reviewed by: Hiroe

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!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated on January 22. I thought it might be too early to see much, so I expected to only catch a glimpse from a distance, but I was thrilled to see it up close multiple times! Various groups appeared all around, and the staff mentioned that it was rare to see so many up close, so I felt very lucky. My daughter seemed to enjoy searching for whales too, and she was excited when she spotted one over there! On the way back, my husband took a ukulele lesson while my daughter and I had fun making leis. My husband had learned a bit of ukulele before, so he was happy to have a mini concert with the teacher at the end. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the ocean was amazing, and we created many wonderful memories. I'm glad we participated.

1月22日に参加しました。
少し時期が早いので遠くで見れる程度かなぁと思っていたけど、すぐ近くで何度も見れて大興奮でした!
色んな集団があちこちに出現し、スタッフの方が「こんなに沢山近くで見れるのは珍しい」と言っていたけど、大変ラッキーでした。
娘はクジラを探すのも楽しかったみたいで、あっちにいたぁ!と見つけたときは嬉しかったみたいです。
帰りには、主人はウクレレのレッスン、私と娘はレイを作って楽しかったです。
主人は少しだけウクレレを習ったことがあるので、最後にウクレレの先生と一緒に発表会ができ、嬉しかったようです。
海から見るダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの景色もサイコーでしたし、いい思い出が沢山でき、参加して良かったです。

The whale's jump is amazing! クジラのジャンプ すごい!

Reviewed by: ake

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。

I quickly spotted a whale. クジラはすぐに見えました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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。

I cannot begin to say how much fun I had on this cruise. Not only did we get to see whales, and the captain did a great job of getting as close as he could without disturbing them, but the activities and food on-board made the experience just THAT MUCH BETTER! It was a great experience being able to go to the top deck and view the whales and then head down into the ship for a very yummy buffet lunch. Boy were we full after that :) Cannot wait for next year so we can do this again. Two thumbs WAY WAY up!

Reviewed by: Mr and Mrs Evans

My husband and I travel to Hawaii every year and during our many trips, we have been on countless whale watching tours, but this one definitely stands out from the crowd. Rather than being shuffled onto a huge ship and being an anonymous passenger, being on this catamaran allowed for a much more personal interaction. On top of all this, the ocean was amazing and seeing the the whales was, as always, and amazing and unforgettable experience. When we got home, I told all of our friends and hope that they will be able to make it to Hawaii so they can check out this tour out :)

Exciting エキサイティング

Reviewed by: リンク

I participated with lunch and transportation included. The lunch was okay. For the transportation, I realized it’s better to speak up when you see a bus that looks like it belongs to the tour, rather than just waiting at the pickup spot. This applies not only to this tour but also to others.

It seemed fine to be picked up at the hotel and to stay at Aloha Tower on the way back (since the number of people going and returning was different).

Now, there were quite a few people on board, and I thought we probably wouldn’t see any whales. So, I was in a complete state of giving up, just looking at the sea while saying, “I heard they give you a ticket to ride again.”

Then, my child started to fuss about being hungry, and while I was asking, “Do you want to eat?” there was an announcement on the boat saying, “There’s a whale at 2 o'clock.”

Suddenly, the boat was buzzing with excitement, and everyone was thrilled when they saw the whale's tail! We were able to see the tail multiple times, but since it’s a wild animal, it was at the whale's pace. We kept looking at the sea, and it was like, “Oh, it just spouted! I saw the tail!”

I was wondering, “Aren’t whales usually in groups?” and then we spotted another whale at 9 o'clock!

It was quite exciting! It was more thrilling than when we went to see dolphins. The dolphins were cute, but the whales gave a sense of the grandeur of nature, which was incredibly moving. It felt like discovering Mount Fuji??? Maybe because you can’t see them in aquariums?

On the boat, there were various activities like hula and ukulele lessons, and making leis, which were fun. It was a moment that everyone from children to the elderly could enjoy.

However, coffee, tea, and fruit punch were free, while other soft drinks and alcohol were at an additional charge... I thought it would have been nice if at least one drink was free.

Also, they take the promised photo when boarding. It’s a nice keepsake, so we always buy it, but the boarding process takes quite a while for the group to gather, so be prepared to wait patiently.

ランチ・送迎付きでの参加です。
ランチはまあまあ。送迎は、ピックアップ場所で待ってるだけよりは、それらしいバスを見かけたら自分から声をかけた方がいいなと実感しました。これは、このツアーだけでなく、他のツアーに参加するときもそうです。

ホテルで拾ってもらって、帰りはアロハタワーに残る事もOKのようでした。(行きと帰りの人数が違っていたので)

さて、乗船人数はかなり多かったですが、私たちはクジラはもう見れないかなーと思っての参加でした。
だから「再度乗れるよっていう券、くれるらしいよ~」なんて言って完全諦めモードで海を眺めてました。

そのうち、子供がおなかがすいたとぐずりだしたので「食べる?」なんて言ってたら、「クジラが2時の方向に居る」との船内放送がありました。

そうしたら、船内がザワザワというかキャー!というか、もうみんな浮き足立って
クジラのシッポが見えると 大歓声!
何度もシッポを見る事はできましたが、やはりそれは自然の生き物なのでクジラのペースです。
ずーっと海を見ていて 「あ、今、潮吹いた!シッポが見えた!」という感じでした。

「クジラって群れで居ないのかなー」って言ってたら、今度は9時の方向でもクジラが!

かなりエキサイティングでしたよー。
ドルフィンを見に行った時よりも盛り上がりました。
ドルフィンは「かわいい!」って感じでしたが、ホエールはなんか大自然の雄大さを感じるというか感激度もすごかったです。富士山を発見した時のような感じ???水族館などでも見れないという事からですかね?


船内では、フラ、ウクレレのレッスン・レイを作るなど様々な催しがあり、楽しかったです。
子供からお年寄りまでたのしめたひと時でした。

ただ、コーヒー、紅茶、フルーツパンチは無料。それ以外のソフトドリンクとアルコールが別料金だったので・・・・
どうせなら1杯は無料とかだと良かったのにな~と思いました。

あと、乗船の時に お約束の写真を撮ります。
記念になるので我が家では絶対に買うのですが、撮影で乗船時にかなりもたつきます。グループで全員揃って、気長に待ってね。という感じです。

Before going, I was surprisingly indifferent, thinking I would only catch a glimpse. After boarding, as soon as we set sail, we saw what seemed to be a spout. Then, while enjoying a meal (which was decent) and Hawaiian music, there was an announcement that we could see something at the 9 o'clock position. From there, it was amazing—two whales performed for about 20 minutes. I was so moved! Thank you very much. I might say it was just luck that I got to see them, but I am very satisfied.

行く前は意外と冷めていましてどうせチラッと観える位だと想って乗船、出港してすぐ潮吹きらしいものが、その後なんとなく姿らしきものが、食事(まあまあ)しながらハワイアン気分の音楽など楽しみながら居ると9時方向に観えるとのアナウンス、それからがもう大変2頭のショーが約20分、

Once again this year, I had a wonderful time. At first, I heard the conditions were perfect, but unfortunately, I couldn't encounter them! In the evening, I was able to enjoy a cruise off the coast of Honolulu on the famous "Star of Honolulu," which included warm coffee. However, since I had a re-boarding coupon, I decided to give it another try the day before my return! I'm glad I did.

Seeing the whales swimming happily together was truly moving. When the ship was about to leave after the promised 30 minutes, the whales came close to the ship as if to say goodbye.

There were also ukulele performances and cultural activities, but I completely forgot about those and just enjoyed the experience.

I definitely recommend participating. After disembarking, you can climb the adjacent "Aloha Tower" for free, where you can enjoy a stunning view. (There’s also an old-fashioned elevator!)

昨年に続き、今年も楽しませていただきました。
最初は、絶好の条件!とのことでしたが残念ながら
遭遇できず!夜はディナーで有名な「スターオブホノルル」号で、暖かいコーヒーが付いたホノルル沖のクルーズと割り切ってしまうことも出来ましたが、
再乗船のクーポンを頂いていましたので、帰国前日にチャレンジ!  最乗船して良かったです。
親子で、仲良く泳ぐ鯨の姿にもう感動でした。
30分とのお約束があって船がその場を離れようと
していると、別れを惜しむかのように船のすぐ
そばまで寄ってきてくれました。

ウクレレや例のカルチャもあるのですが、
そんなことには、すっかり忘れて楽しみました。

ぜひ、参加をお勧めしたいです。
下船後は、無料で登れますので、隣接の「アロハタワー」に登ってみてください。絶景が楽しめますよ。(年代もののエレベータもあります)

I was glad to see the whales. クジラが見れて良かったです

We were able to see the whales, but it was only in the second half of the trip. The child who was eagerly searching in the first half got bored and fell asleep along the way. However, it was great that we were able to see them. The child enjoyed the lei-making and hula dance lesson experience more than the whale watching.

ちゃんとクジラは見れたのですが、見れたのは後半以降で、前半に張り切って探していた子供は、
途中で飽きて寝てしまいました。でも見る事が出来たので良かったです。
子供はホエールウォッチングよりもレイ作りとフラダンスのレッスンの体験教室の方が喜んでいました。

Great!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We would definitely recommend this cruise. The food was delicious. We saw many whales and one of them even jumped out of the water. It was amazing. There is a lot of space on the ship to spread out and see the whales from many perspectives (I think it holds over 1000 people). And the crew kept us entertained with Hula lessons, lea making, and ukulele lessons. We have a toddler and there was plenty to keep her entertained and happy as well.

I saw a whale. 鯨が見えた

Reviewed by: エイトマン

We participated as a family of five on New Year's Eve. We were blessed with clear weather, and it was a fun cruise. When the captain spotted a whale, there was an announcement, and while looking in that direction, we were able to see the whale's spout and back several times, and finally, we also saw its tail, which was great. The food was quite delicious as well. However, while the adults were fine, the children took motion sickness medication, but two out of three of them got seasick. In the latter part of the cruise, they served ginger juice, which helped a bit, but I think it would have been better if it had been offered a little earlier.

大晦日家族5人で参加しました。
晴天にも恵まれ楽しいクルーズでした。
キャプテンが鯨を発見すると場内アナウンスがあり、その方向を探していると鯨の潮吹きや背中が何回か見ることができ、最後に尻尾も見えよかったです。
食事も十分おいしかったです。
ただ大人は大丈夫でしたが、子供は酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが3人中2人は船酔いしてしまいました。クルーズの後半ジンジャージュースを出してくれ少しよくなりましたが、もう少し早く出してくれるともっと良かったと思います。

We were a party of 6, including our newborn granddaughter who was only four days old. The staff went out of their way to be helpful to us. This was a GREAT experience, something we will always cherish! Everything that was offered happened. We seen whales immediately and the food was delicious.Thank You.

Not only whales ホエールだけで無く

Reviewed by: haru

I didn't have high expectations for the food, but the warm drinks (self-service with free drinks) and the meals were warm and delicious. Besides seeing whales, there were activities like lei-making, ukulele classes, and hula lessons, so even if we didn't see any whales, we could still enjoy the cruising and activities. During our trip, it seemed like we encountered a mother and calf whale, and they were frequently surfacing for air. (Unfortunately, we didn't get a clear view of their heads or tails...) However, most of the explanations were in English, and sometimes the Japanese announcements were delayed or omitted. Still, the staff was cheerful and bright, shouting "Whale!" Overall, you can enjoy the cruising experience by itself.

食べ物は余り期待していなかったのですが、
温かい飲み物(セルフサービスはフリードリンク)で
食事も温かく美味しかったです。
鯨を見ることもさることながら、アクティビティとして
レイ作りやウクレレ教室・フラレッスンもあり
万が一鯨が見られなくてもクルージングとアクティビティで
楽しめるようになっていました。
私たちが参加した回は親子の鯨だったみたいで
頻回に呼吸をしていました。
(残念ながら頭や尾をはっきりくっきり観る事は無かったですが・・・・)
ただ殆どの説明が英語で日本語の案内が遅くなる事や日本語の説明が抜ける事もしばしば・・・
それでもスタッフが陽気で明るく「くじらぁ~」と叫んでくれます。
総合的にみてクルージングだけでも楽しめます。
