I didn't get seasick, perhaps because there were no waves. I also enjoyed the scenery of Waianae. Since it takes quite a while to navigate to the whale watching point, it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take medication beforehand. Check-in is just before departure, so if you arrive early, there’s nothing to do while waiting.
波がなかったせいか、船酔いはしませんでした ワイアナエの景色も堪能

I took a special By One Get One ticket deal for the early bird whale watching tour and it was phenomenal. We had the pleasure of standing by the naturalist, Alyssa for most of the trip and she was very informative and a joy to be around. We saw a momma and her calf breach, and several fluke tail breach’s. The star itself had a ton of space to allow families to spread out and was clean. What a great experience!

The Star of Honolulu crew knows exactly what they are doing. The night before our trip they called to ensure that we knew exactly where to begin our adventire. At 200 feet, the Star is steady in the morning sea. The crew is knowledgeable and helpful. We were given a brief lesson in whale anatomy, diet, and behavior before we set out. We understood the challenges and likely outcomes of our trip. We did see whales. We would have liked to have seen more, but we were well prepared for the visit we received. This was a a grest start to our vacation
We had the Star crew pick us up at our hotel. It was a stress free value.

All of the staff on the boat, from the Captain to the servers were all very nice, accommodating and service minded. Joshua did a great job answering questions and adding nuggets of knowledge about the trip. The ship was in great condition and prepared for the cruise, and it made for a very relaxing and comfortable voyage.
Unfortunately, we didn’t see any whales on this tour, but as a fisherman, I understand the difference between fishing and catching, and sometimes the fish just aren’t cooperating and ya just need to relax and enjoy the beauty. But, the most important thing is, as Larry Fleet says in the song “Where I Find God”, “you can’t find Peace Like this in a bottle or a pill”.
I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, and if we see a whale, that would just be lagniappe!
Don’t hesitate to book this trip. Very relaxing and easy no matter your physical situation.

I had previously used the Star of Honolulu for the sunset dinner cruise, but this was my first time participating in another activity. I was able to see whales from a distance. Even if you don't understand English, they provide simple explanations like "at 3 o'clock," so there's not much to worry about.
From the boat, I could enjoy the urban skyline of Waikiki alongside the natural beauty of Diamond Head, which truly felt like a Hawaiian landscape. The light snacks, like pineapple banana bread and Kona coffee, were delicious, making this activity enjoyable both as a whale watching experience and simply as a cruise.

We participated with four adults and a 0-year-old and a 3-year-old, bringing a foldable stroller. The elevator was available, so moving to the deck was not an issue, but we couldn't change diapers (we used the stroller to do that). The stroller was necessary for our subsequent plans, but we could leave our belongings at the table we were initially guided to, so it was great that it didn't get in the way while watching the whales.
I thought seeing the whales was completely a matter of luck, but in February, we were fortunate to see them! Two whales happened to swim back and forth quite close to the surface multiple times, allowing us to capture them with our eyes, not just on video or in photos, which was lucky! The captain announced in English, "They're at 10 o'clock!" or "Look to the 9 o'clock direction!" and we moved based on that and hints from those around us. There was one person who could speak a little Japanese, so for those who are not confident in English, it might be a good idea to stick with that person. By the way, my family also saw dolphins and turtles… I'm envious!
The guides on the way there and back were English speakers and very cheerful. Especially on the way back, they were flexible, changing our drop-off point and accepting requests for unexpected stops. Since the tour ended before noon, I was thinking about going to Ala Moana Shopping Center afterward, but I was unsure how to get there. However, I learned that it was possible to get off the bus along the way, which I wanted to take advantage of, but due to various circumstances, we ended up getting off at our hotel.
I want to come back again when the kids are older!
0歳3歳大人4人、折り畳めるベビーカー持参で参加しました。エレベーター完備なので、デッキへの移動は問題ないのですが、おむつ替えは出来ませんでした(ベビーカーを使って換えました)。その後の予定のために必要だったベビーカーですが、最初に案内されるテーブルに荷物を置いて行けるので、鯨を観る時には邪魔にならず良かったです。
鯨は完全に運だとは思いましたが、流石に2月!しっかり会えました。たまたま2頭が結構近くの海面を何度も行ったり来たりしてくれたお陰で、ビデオや写真だけに追われず肉眼でも捉える事ができて、ラッキーでした!船長さんが、10時にいるよ!とか9時方向だ!とか英語でアナウンスしてくれるのと、周りの人をヒントに移動しました。お一人、日本語が少し話せる方もいたので、英語苦手な方はその方にくっついていくのもありかもです。
ちなみに、私の家族はイルカとカメも見たとの事…羨ましい
行き帰りは英語のガイドさん。行きも帰りも、陽気な方達でした。特に帰りは、降りる場所を変更してくれたり、予定外の停車場所もリクエスト受け付けてくれたりと、臨機応変に対応していました。ツアーが昼前に終わるので、その後はアラモアナショッピングセンターでと考えていましたが、どうやって行くか悩んでいました。でも、バスの途中下車が可能との事でこちらを上手く活用…したかったのですが、色々あって結局自分達のホテルで降りました。
子供が大きくなったらまた来てあげたいです!
On the way back, there is shopping at Ala Moana! Please get off at the first stop!

There is a regulation that prohibits approaching whales, so the boat does not get close to them. Therefore, it is not possible to take photos from a close distance like those on the explanation page. All announcements regarding whales are in English, so I do not recommend this for those who are not proficient in the language. Snacks and drinks are explained in English, so I couldn't figure out where they were located. Even with sunglasses and a hat, please be careful as the sunlight is very intense.

On the cruise departing from West Oahu at 1:30 PM, our family was the only Japanese participants. The crew only spoke English.
What was great was that we saw whales quite close right after departure, which was lucky. Of course, it wasn't as spectacular as the photos in the advertisements. The crew was friendly and even spoke to us, taking family photos for us. The views from the boat were also fantastic.
A bit disappointing was that we only saw whales three times in the first 30 minutes of the two-hour cruise, and the rest of the time was spent staring at the ocean surface. Considering that there are times when you might not see any whales, I might be being a bit greedy.
With the mindset that seeing whales is just a bonus, I think it would be perfect to enjoy a leisurely cruise off the coast of West Oahu as long as the weather is good.
西オアフから13時30分発の出航のクルーズで参加者の日本人は私たち家族だけでした。クルーも英語しかしゃべりません。
良かったのは、出発してすぐにかなり近くでクジラが見えたこと、これはラッキーでした。もちろん、広告の写真のようにはいきませんが。また、クルーもフレンドリーで日本人の私たちに声をかけてくれて、家族の写真を撮ってくれました。船上からの景色も最高でした。
少し残念だったのは、クジラが見えたのは2時間のクルーズのうち最初の30分くらいに3回だけで、残りは海面と睨めっこで終わったことでしょうか。クジラが見えないこともあるということを思えば、欲張りかもしれませんが。
クジラは見えればラッキーくらいの気持ちで、のんびり西オアフ島沖のクルーズを楽しむには、天候さえ良ければ最高だと思います。

I participated in mid-February!
It was rainy, but thanks to that, it wasn't too hot, and I was able to look for whales from the deck.
During the ride to the meeting point, the guide talked a lot about the area and sightseeing, making the trip enjoyable.
On the boat, we were served delicious original cake and coffee before departure, which served as a nice breakfast. The original pineapple banana cake was moist and tasty.
During the whale watching, the guide indicated where the whales were based on the direction of the clock, so there was a high probability of seeing whales multiple times.
Not only did we see whales, but we were also lucky enough to see sea turtles up close!
The view from the boat was also amazing, and I was moved by the beauty of Diamond Head and the horizon.
It became a wonderful memory, and I am very satisfied.

I took TheBus to the meeting point. It was $7 round trip (since it's $7 for unlimited rides in a day). It's necessary to check in advance how to ride TheBus and how to find routes (you can find bus stops using Google). Upon arriving at the meeting point, you will present your voucher (which is sent via email after booking) for check-in.
Once on board, there was an unlimited supply of fruit cake and coffee (though I couldn't eat that much). As for finding whales, the spouts are a good indicator. I witnessed a few spouts, but they rarely appeared above the water. I participated with the image from the last attached photo in mind, but this time we only managed to see the tail fin to some extent during the whale watching.
集合場所にはTheBusで行きました。往復$7でOKです(一日$7で乗り放題なので)。TheBusの乗り方や経路(Googleでバス停が案内可能です)の調べ方は事前に確認が必要です。集合場所に到着するとバウチャー(予約完了後にメールで送られる)を提示して受付となります。
乗船後はフルーツケーキやコーヒーなどは食べ放題、飲み放題でした(そんなに食べられませんが)。クジラの探し方としては、潮吹きが目印となります。何回か潮吹きを目撃しましたが、海上に現れることは少なかったです。添付の最後の写真をイメージして参加しましたが、今回は尾びれを確認できる程度のウォッチング結果でした。
If whales are not seen (it's a bit gray how much), it seems you can participate again. Whether you can witness them depends solely on timing, so all we can do is pray.

The purpose is to see whales, but it's quite difficult to find them. When we finally spot one, cheers erupt, and we rush over in that direction to look for it. Since it's nature we're dealing with, it's understandable, but we were able to see a spout, a back, and a tail in the distance.

It was amazing to have a drink included, and we could freely take and eat snacks. Above all, we saw so many whales and dolphins! We were the only Japanese people on board, but on the contrary, all the other passengers were really lively, and it was a lot of fun.
We saw whales jumping with their calves and slapping their tails on the water's surface many times, and the guide even said, "This is the best whale watching ever," so we were very satisfied. Additionally, they delayed our return to the harbor so we could see the sunset without any obstructions, which was perfect.
If you're going to Hawaii during whale season, I definitely recommend this!
I also saw reviews about feeling seasick, but we were fine. Some people might need motion sickness medication, but it seems that those who are relatively strong don't have any issues.
ワンドリンク付き、スナック菓子も自由に取って食べられて、何よりクジラとイルカがたくさん見られて最高でした!
日本人は私達だけでしたが、逆に乗客がみんなノリが良くとっても楽しかったです。
クジラは親子でジャンプしているところや尻尾を水面に打ち付けているところが何度も沢山見られて、ガイドの人も「今までで最高のホエールウォッチングだ」と言っているほどで、非常に満足しました。
また、夕陽が沈むのを最後まで見られるように予定時間よりも遅めに帰港してくれたので、サンセットも遮るものなくバッチリ見られました。
クジラのシーズンにハワイに行くならぜひおすすめします!

The ship provided light snacks (coffee, tea, pineapple cake). The pineapple cake was delicious. The actual sailing time was about 2 hours. On this day, we were able to see two humpback whales. The whales came to the surface and spouted water at intervals of about 10 to 15 minutes, so I enjoyed chatting with the foreign people next to me (although I only understood about one-third of the conversation).
I didn't feel much movement while the ship was moving, but when the ship was stopped during whale watching, there was some rocking, so I think those who are prone to seasickness might need motion sickness medication. When the ship returned to the port, there were a few people on board celebrating their birthdays, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday," which felt very international and was really nice.
船内は軽食付き(コーヒー、紅茶、パイナップルケーキ)です。パイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。実際の乗船時間は2時間ほど。この日はザトウクジラを2頭見ることができました。クジラは約10〜15分間隔で水面上に来て潮吹きをしていたので、横の海外の人と談笑しながら楽しみました。(言葉は1/3程度しか理解できなかったですが、)
船が動いているときはそこまで感じなかったですが、ホエールウォッチング中の船が止まっているときは船揺れがあったりするので酔いに弱い人は酔い止めが必要かと思います。船が港へ戻る時に船内で誕生日だった人が数名いて、みんなでハッピーバースデーの歌を歌ってお祝いしていたのが海外らしくてとてもよかったです。
This time, I participated in February. When the sun is shining, a short-sleeved shirt is usually fine, but in shaded areas, on the boat, or inside the bus, there were moments when the wind was strong

We had a fun time and would book with this group again. Only thing that would make it better is if we would have gotten to see some whales.

We participated with our small child, and we had a wonderful experience on the boat without any significant rocking. The interior of the boat was clean and spacious, providing a calm atmosphere along with light snacks and drinks.
At the beginning, we had a presentation about whales on the first floor while enjoying some snacks, and afterward, we were free to move around the floors up to the fourth level to look for whales and enjoy the view from the boat.
Although we weren't able to see any whales this time, we received a ticket to board again during this season. All the crew members were very kind, making for a delightful boat trip.
小さな子供も一緒に参加させていただきましたが船も大きく揺れることもなく楽しい船の体験をさせていただきました
船内は清潔で広く落ち着いた中で軽食と飲み物の提供があります
初めに一階部分で鯨の説明や軽食をとりその後自由に四階までのフロアーを移動してクジラの確認や船からの景色を楽しみました
今回は鯨を見ることができませんでしたが今シーズン中の再度乗船券をいただきました
乗員の方みなさん親切にしていただき楽しい船旅ができました
When there is wind, it can feel chilly, so I think having a jacket would be good.
風があると肌寒いので上着があると良いと思います
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your little ones. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to relax and enjoy your time with us. We hope that next time you will enjoy whale watching. Please come again; our entire staff looks forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズに小さなお子様連れでお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
私共のクルーズでリラックスしたお時間をお過ごし頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。次回は是非とも鯨の観測を楽しんで頂きたいと思っています。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

If there is wind, it can feel a bit cold, so a light jacket would be good to have.
If there are waves, it can be a bit rocky.

We didn't see any whales, but we had a great time. The naturalist on board was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal about whales.
The weather was pretty good. We had clear views of Honolulu -- Waikiki and Diamond Head.
The process to check in and check out was smooth and fast.

Due to the high waves that started midway, there was no snack distribution. I had planned to go get a drink when the snacks were handed out, so I couldn't go. When I stopped by the bar counter upon disembarking, there were no staff present, and there were only a few snacks in a basket that people who noticed helped themselves to. The drinks were just a display of cans... If the distribution was canceled due to the high waves, I would have appreciated it if someone had been at the bar counter during disembarkation to hand them out. In the end, I wasn't able to receive the limited-time drink benefit. I noticed that some people didn't tip at all, so I wondered if that might have affected the service. Although I didn't see any whales, I had a great time seeing a lot of dolphins, which made the lack of service feel like a missed opportunity.
途中から波が高くなったせいかスナックの配布がなかった。スナック配布されたらドリンクを取りに行くつもりにしていたので行けず。下船時にバーカウンターに寄りましたが、スタッフ不在、スナックが少しだけカゴに入って置いていたので気づいた人が自ら取っていました。
ドリンクは缶の見本が並べてあっただけ…。高波で配布を見送ったのなら、下船時にバーカウンターにいて頂いて、お渡しして欲しかったです。結局期間限定特典のドリンクは受け取れずじまいでした。
チップを全く入れてない人もいたので、こういうことも影響しているのではないかと思いました。
クジラは見れませんでしたがイルカがたくさん見れて楽しかっただけに、サービスがもったいなく感じました。
For the 10:30 flight, if the weather is clear, the sunlight can be quite strong, so I think it's a good idea to have sunscreen and a light jacket.
10:30の便で晴天ならかなり日差しが強いので日焼け止めと薄手の上着があると良いと思います。

I participated in whale watching for the first time!
While cruising, I was able to enjoy some drinks and the scenery was amazing! ✨✨
I saw the whales spouting water and their tails from a bit of a distance!!
I thought I would be able to see them a little closer, but since they are wild animals, I understand that it's unpredictable. Still, the atmosphere was great and I had a lot of fun!!
The restrooms on the boat aren't usually very clean and can be hard to access, but this boat had clean restrooms, so I felt comfortable even while drinking!
I would love to participate again someday!!
初めてホエールウォッチングに参加しました!
クルージングしながらお酒も飲めて景色も最高でした✨✨
クジラは少し遠くで潮を吹くところやテールを見ることができました!!
もう少し近くで観れると思っていましたが、自然の生き物の事なので、予想がつかないのも仕方がないな〜と思いつつ、雰囲気はとても良く楽しむことができました!!
船でのおトイレは綺麗なところがあまりなく、なかなか行きにくいですが、こちらの船は綺麗なトイレでお酒を飲んでも安心でした!
またいつか参加してみたいです!!

I participated in a sunset cruise. It departs from the yacht harbor in Waikiki and returns in about an hour and a half, making it easy to join. On the day I went, I could see the whales' spouts and tails far off in the distance, but the crew did their best to keep things lively and entertaining. Since it's nature, whether you get to see the whales up close is a matter of luck.
サンセットクルーズに参加しました。ワイキキのヨットハーバーから出発して1時間半程度で帰ってこられるので気軽に参加できます。
私が参加した日は遥か遠くにクジラの潮吹きや尻尾が見える程度でしたが、クルーの皆さんは何とか盛り上げようと楽しませてくれました。自然相手のことなので、クジラが近くで見られるかは運次第です。
Since it's nature, whether you can see whales and how close you can get to them is completely a matter of luck. If you want to increase your chances, it might be better to go to the West Coast rather
自然相手なのでクジラが見られるか、どのくらい近い距離で見られるかなどは完全に運です。より確率を高めたいのであれば、ワイキキではなく西海岸の方に行った方がいいかもしれません。

I could tell there were whales, but I couldn't see them very well. The staff provided warm hospitality, making my experience enjoyable. The banana cake for a light snack had a homemade feel and was delicious. You can choose between tea and coffee.
鯨がいるのは分かりますが、あまりよく見えませんでした。スタッフの方々はあたたかいおもてなしで気分良く過ごすことができました。軽食のバナナケーキも手作りの感じがあって美味しかったです。紅茶がコーヒーが選べます。
If you can't see many whales, it might be a good idea to enjoy it as a cruise instead.
あまり鯨が見えない場合はクルーズとして楽しむといいかもしれません。

On this day, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was a strong wind. It started to rain midway, and by the time we disembarked, there was a full-blown storm. Perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high and there were whitecaps, making it difficult to spot whales. However, there were several announcements on the ship about whale sightings, and my husband and I were able to see a spout once each. A few Japanese passengers who were on board with us also mentioned they saw a spout just once. Does seeing a spout mean you've seen a whale? I wonder if it was the right decision to set sail in that weather. If asked whether I would like to go again, I would say I do not want to. Even if the weather were good, it seems there is a set distance from which you can approach the whales, so I think it would be difficult to actually see the whales themselves. The coffee and light snacks were delicious (although the boat rocked so much that the coffee spilled...).
この日は空一面の雲に強い風、途中から雨が降り始め、下船するころには大嵐になっていました。強い風のためか波が高く白波が立ち、クジラ発見には難しい条件だったと思いますが、船内に何回かクジラ発見の放送が流れ、私たち夫婦は潮吹きを1度づつ見ることができました。一緒に乗っていた日本の方たち数人も潮吹きを1度だけ見たと言っていました。潮吹きを見たらクジラを見たことになるのか?あの天候で船を出すことは正解なのか?疑問です。また乗ってみたいかと言われれば、もう乗りたくありません。天候が良かったとしても、クジラに近寄れる距離が決まっているらしく、クジラ本体を見ることは難しいのではないかと思いました。コーヒーと軽食は美味しかったです(コーヒーがこぼれるほど揺れましたが・・・)
After the ship set sail, there was an explanation about whales in English on board, and I was able to understand it to some extent using the Google Translate app. Not all the restrooms are available f
出船後船内でクジラの説明が英語でありましたが、グーグルの翻訳アプリで結構拾えて、ある程度理解できました。トイレは全部が使えるわけではなく、鍵のかかっているトイレがあります。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We also appreciate your feedback. It's unfortunate that the weather wasn't very good, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the snacks. We hope you will visit us again on a nice, sunny day next time.
