Waikiki 2-Hour Morning Whale Watch Tour - Three Tiki Catamaran [Dec - Apr]

Beautiful day at sea on a perfectly sized boat!

Reviewed by: Brooke

The check-in was quick and painless. The boat was very clean & had a bathroom (which we didn’t need.) The crew gave each passenger a small bottle of water. The crew was friendly and they had great music onboard. It was a beautiful morning on the water and the sailing was smooth. Sadly, we didn’t see any whales, but understandably, that can’t be controlled. They did offer us a second trip at no cost, which I feel is the best they can do! I loved the size of the boat the most. It’s big enough to manage the sea, but not so large you feel lost in the passenger count. If you want a wonderful morning on the water, don’t hesitate to book.

I couldn't see any whales, but it was a great cruising experience! クジラは見えなかったけど良いクルージングになりました！

Reviewed by: あいう

Meet at Pier 8 near Aloha Tower at 8:00 AM.
There is a shuttle service, but you can also take The Bus from Waikiki for just $3 one way!
I arrived before 8:00 AM, and check-in started right at 8:00, with check-in open until around 8:30. It's definitely better to arrive early.
We departed on time, and the female guide spoke various things in English to the participants, but I couldn't understand anything. (laughs)
After that, we were told we could freely move around the deck, and I looked out at the sea from the third floor, searching for whales.
The explanations about the whales were given alternately in English and Japanese, which was very educational and enjoyable.
Later, we heard an announcement about the direction of a spout, and everyone stared in that direction, but we didn't see any whales until the end of the cruise.
Well, it's nature, so it can't be helped.
That said, the view of Diamond Head from the sea was very beautiful, and it was a great experience.
When we were getting off the boat, there was an announcement that those who wanted could get tickets to ride again. If you're confident in your English, feel free to ask.
Considering the time I had in Honolulu, I thought it would be impossible to try again, so I didn't reschedule this time. After all, there's no guarantee that I would see anything next time either...
It was a fun experience. Thank you very much.

８時にアロハタワー近くのピア８集合。
送迎があるけどワイキキから出てるザバスで向かえば片道３ドルで行けます！
８時前に着き、８時ちょうどにチェックイン開始、８時半くらいまでチェックイン受け付けてた印象です。早く行くに越した事は無いですが。
時間通りに出航し、まず添乗員の女性が参加者に向かって色々英語で話してましたが全く分からず。笑
その後は自由にデッキを移動して良いと言われ、3階から海を眺めクジラを探しました。
クジラについての説明が英語と日本語交互で行われ、とても勉強になったし楽しかったです。
その後、潮吹きが何時の方向で見えましたのアナウンスを聞きみんなでそちらの方向を凝視するもクルージング終了までクジラは現れず。
まあ、自然相手なので仕方ないですね。
とは言え海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドはとても綺麗で、良い体験になりました。
船を降りる時、希望者はまた乗れるチケットをくれるとアナウンスがありました。英語で伝えられる自信がある人は言ってみてください。
ホノルル滞在時間を考えるとまたチャレンジするのは無理かなと思い、今回は特段振り替えませんでした。次乗った時見れるとも限りませんからね、、、。
楽しい経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

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

First time whale watching experience!

Reviewed by: Daysi

This was my husband and I's first time whale watching and first time in Hawaii. We were welcomed aboard the Star of Honolulu by friendly crew members. The boat experience alone was great. The education we obtained from the tour was helpful because although, we didn't see a whale breach that day, we were able to spot one the next couple of days with the information that we obtained from the tour. Definitely would recommend this tour to family and friends!

Reviewed by: あけちゃん

It was a windy day, so perhaps due to that, the boat rocked quite a bit. With the wind and the cold, I think it's better to have a jacket. I didn't get seasick, possibly because the motion sickness medication worked for me, but I saw several people looking unwell, so I recommend taking the medication.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales until the end, but I will try to think of it as having enjoyed the cruising experience. However, it was mentioned that if we didn't see any whales, we would receive a ticket for a future ride, but I didn't receive one. There weren't any other available dates for me, so it's not a big deal if I don't get one, but just for your reference.

風の強い日でしたので、その影響もあるのか船はかなり揺れました。
風もあり寒いので上着があった方がいいと思います。私は酔い止め薬が効いたのか、船酔いはしませんでしたが気分が悪そうにしている人を何人か見かけたので薬は飲んでおいた方がいいかと思います。
肝心のクジラは最後まで見えなくて残念でしたがクルージングを楽しんだと思うことにします。
ただ、見れなかったときは次回乗れる券がもらえるようなことが書いてありましたが、もらえませんでした。日程的に他に空いてる日はなかったので、別にもらえなくてもいいのですが、参考まで。

Whale Watch

Reviewed by: Deb

Enjoyed our whale Watch. Staff are very knowledgeable! Always enjoy this tour! We take this trip every year we are on Oahu. Saw dolphins and whales! The drinks are reasonably priced and delicious! We love getting out on this boat because it is so peaceful in the water is so beautiful and blue. Every time we have taken this cruise we have seen whales! The check-in process was very easy as they were waiting right outside the boat. Parking was easy and it was $10 for the duration we were parked. We used hawaii activities.com to book this trip. They were very easy to deal with and enjoyable. We have been on the star of Honolulu for several different types of excursions. The boat is very safe and we have always enjoyed our time on them.

We participated as a group of four, with two adults and two children. We opted for the shuttle service.

After boarding, we had a little time and were able to enjoy breakfast with the bread we brought along.

The onboard announcements (in English) inform you about the direction to look for whales, so I don't think you'll miss them.

We were able to see the whales spouting water and their tails multiple times. Unfortunately, we didn't get to witness a whale jumping out of the water. However, it was a fun experience, and we felt the presence of the whales more than we expected.

It can be quite windy, so having a long-sleeved jacket is advisable.

大人2人、子ども2人の計4名で参加。
送迎付きにしました。
乗船してから少し時間があり、持ち込んだパンで朝ごはんを取る余裕がありました。

船内アナウンス(英語)で、時計のどの方向にクジラが見えるか教えてくれるので、見逃してしまうことはないかと思います。

クジラの潮吹きや尾びれは何度も見ることができました。
クジラがざっぶーんとジャンプするような姿を拝むことは残念ながらできませんでした。
でも、思った以上にクジラの存在を感じることができて楽しい時間でした

風が強く長袖の上着があった方が安心です。

I was worried about the bad weather until the day before, but we set sail safely.
When I strained my eyes on the fourth floor, I spotted some splashes of water.
It was far away, but I was moved to see the jumps!
After that, I was able to see them many more times, which made me very satisfied!
Aside from the initial briefing area being a bit cramped and crowded, and the fact that only the first floor restroom was available, I was very satisfied.
There were some people who seemed to be seasick, possibly due to the slightly high waves. I chose this option because I felt reassured that I could try again if I didn't see anything, and I think it was a good choice.

前日までの悪天候で心配しましたが無事出航
4階で目を凝らしていると水しぶき発見　
遠かったけどジャンプもみれて感動^_^
そのあとも何度も見られて満足満足！
最初の説明会場が手狭で密集してたのとトイレが一階しか利用できなかったのを除けば大満足です
波が少し高かったのか船酔いしてる人が見受けられました　もし見られなければもう一度チャレンジできる安心感で選びましたが良い選択だったと思います

I encountered whales several times on a large boat, and the view of Oahu from the sea was amazing. 大きな船で何度かクジラに遭遇、海の上からのオアフ島の眺めも最高

Reviewed by: 水戸黄門

I was worried about seasickness, so I chose the largest sightseeing boat on Oahu. The view as we left the harbor and passed through Waikiki towards Diamond Head was simply amazing. As we got closer to Diamond Head, we encountered a family of whales three times. A group of about three, possibly a mother and her calves, surfaced for air, and every time they spouted water, cheers erupted. Onboard, there was a briefing about where to look when whales were spotted, which made the experience enjoyable. It seems this boat is also used for Sunset Dinner Cruises at night, and it had a restaurant onboard. Next time, I definitely want to experience the Sunset Cruise.

船酔いが心配だったのでオアフ島で一番大きいという観光船を選択。港をでてワイキキ沖を通ってダイヤモンドヘッドに向かう景色は、それだけで素晴らしいものです。ダイヤモンドヘッドに近くなったころに、クジラの家族？に三度遭遇。親子なのか三頭くらいの群れが呼吸のために海面に出てきて汐を吹くたびに歓声があがりました。船内では、クジラが見えたときのアナウンスと見る方向などが事前にレクチャーされており、楽しめました。この船は夜はSunset Dinnerクルーズなどに使われているようで、レストランも完備されていました。次回は是非、Sunsetクルーズを体験してみたいと思います。

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: たまちゃん

I participated in a whale watching tour with my middle school son. The pickup was near our hotel, but there were other tours, and when the bus arrived, it turned out to be for a different tour. After that, our tour bus arrived, but the pickup was a bit delayed. The bus was clean, and there was no typical bus smell, making it comfortable.

Once on board, we listened to explanations in a large dining area on the first floor, where those who wanted could pay for meals. All the staff were locals, so the explanations were in solid English. After the briefing, we could go up to the deck.

We waited at a spot where whales were expected to appear. The boat rocked quite a bit while moving and even while waiting. I took motion sickness medication, but those who are prone to seasickness might get nauseous. I got seasick quickly and rested on a chair on the deck.

We saw a few dolphins. I heard that when a whale appears, they announce it by saying "○ o'clock," so I was lying down and seemed to have missed it when it showed up. My son noticed it because someone next to him murmured about the spout, and he saw it when they said "3 o'clock," so he apparently saw it twice. The whales were quite far away, as shown in the photos, while the dolphins were relatively close.

中学生の息子とホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
ピッキングは宿泊ホテルの近くでしたが、他のツアーの方もいて時間に来たバスが来たので聞いてみると違うツアーでした。その後当ツアーのバスが来ましたが、お迎えは少し時間が遅れていました。バス内は清潔でバス特有の匂いもなく快適でした。
乗船し、1階の食事が出来る大部屋で説明を聞きながら希望者は有料で食事が出来ます。スタッフは全員現地の方なので、説明もガチ英語。
説明が終わったらデッキへ上がれます。
出没スポットと思われるところで待機。船は走っているときも待機中も結構揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔ってしまうでしょう。私はすぐに酔ってしまい、デッキの横になれるチェアで休んでいました。
イルカが数匹見れました。
「○oclck」とクジラがでたらアナウンスされると聞いたので、横になっていましたが気づかないうちに現れていたようです。
息子は隣の人が呟いたため気づいて見えた潮吹きと、「3o'clock」と言われてみたので計2回見えたようです。クジラは写真の通り遠巻きで、イルカは割と近くで見えます。

I saw a whale! クジラ見られました！

Reviewed by: ひとみ

From the moment we set sail, the sparkling sea and the pleasant wind made me feel great, and I thought it would be enough even if we didn't see any whales! However, shortly after departing, we were greeted by a large pod of dolphins. They seemed to playfully swim alongside the boat, and I was thrilled to see so many adorable dolphins.

A little further ahead, we spotted two whales spouting water. They weren't very large, but their size was clearly different from the dolphins, moving gracefully. Throughout the trip, dolphins and whales appeared alternately, making the two and a half hours fly by. The crew mentioned that we were particularly lucky to see so many whales today.

出航前からキラキラ光る海と風に気持ちよくて、クジラ見られなくても十分！と思っていましたが、出航して少ししたら、まずはイルカの大群。
ふざけながら船に並走してくれるようで、たくさんの可愛いイルカたちがみられて感激。
その後その少し先で潮を吹くクジラが2頭。
それほど大きくないクジラでしたが、明らかにイルカとは違う大きさ。ゆったりした動き。
その後もイルカやクジラが代わるがわる現れて、あっという間の２時間半でした。
今日は特にたくさんのクジラが見られたよと船の方もおっしゃってました。

The pickup did not come. お迎えが来ませんでした

Reviewed by: 匿名

I was supposed to participate with a pickup from the Lacroix Hotel. Even after 15 minutes had passed, no one arrived, and when I called the contact number that said, "Please contact us if you haven't been picked up after 5 minutes," I received a message saying it was outside of business hours, leaving me at a loss. When I consulted with the front desk at the Lacroix Hotel, they kindly made a call and connected me with a Japanese woman from the tour company. After explaining the situation, I was told, "Your pickup is at Sheraton Waikiki. The pickup time for today has already passed. You can take a taxi at your own expense." I mentioned that I had requested the pickup from the Lacroix Hotel from the beginning, that I had already paid for the service including the pickup, and that it didn't have to be today, and only then was I finally offered a reschedule. It was very disappointing that they spoke as if it was my mistake from the start without trying to find the cause of the misunderstanding, and their response reflected that. Since it was a family trip, I rescheduled for the next day, but honestly, I felt like canceling due to their handling of the situation. If a customer cancels on the day of, they incur a cancellation fee, so I thought it would be reasonable for them to provide compensation for this incident. The next day, the pickup was also more than 15 minutes late, and when I called, I couldn't get through, just like the day before. Fortunately, there was another family scheduled to participate, and they received a call about a 20-minute delay on their mobile phone, and I felt relieved when I saw the bus arrive shortly after. However, I was truly disappointed with these experiences over two consecutive days.

Managing time to avoid being late with young children and planning this trip with excitement for months, it is regrettable to have to go through such anxiety and discomfort. I also emailed Veltra about the lack of pickup, and they promptly and very kindly intervened with the tour company. It was through Veltra's contact that I learned for the first time that the pickup location had mistakenly been set to Sheraton Waikiki. The tour company did not provide any explanation or apology regarding this mistake and spoke as if it was a communication error between Veltra and the tour company. While I understand that mistakes can happen, I believe it is very rude not to offer a sincere explanation or apology. I recommend Veltra, but I do not recommend this tour company.

ラクロワホテルお迎えで参加予定でした。15分過ぎても来ず、「当日5分過ぎたら連絡ください」という連絡先に電話しても営業時間外というアナウンスが流れ、途方に暮れていました。ラクロワホテルのフロントの方に相談すると電話をかけてくださり催行会社の日本人女性の方と繋げてくれました。経緯をお話すると「シェラトンワイキキお迎えになっています。今日のお迎え時間はもう過ぎています。自費になりますがタクシーで来ていただいてもいいです。」と言われました。申込時からラクロワホテルでお願いしていること、送迎込みの金額をすでにお支払いしていること、今日でなくてもよいことを伝えるとようやく振替を提案されました。行き違いの原因を探そうともせず最初からこちらのミスであるような言い方をされ、それを踏まえた対応をされたのは大変遺憾でした。せっかくの家族旅行なので翌日に振り替ましたが正直キャンセルしてもいいと思うくらいの対応でした。お客側が当日キャンセルしたらキャンセル料が発生するのですから、今回はこちらにもそれに見合った弁償があってもいいのではないかと思いました。翌日もお迎えは15分以上遅れ、電話をかけても昨日と同じく繋がりませんでした。幸い参加予定のご家族がもう一組おり、そちらの携帯に20分ほど過ぎたころ遅延している旨電話が来て、すぐにバスが見えたので安心しました。しかし2日連続のこれらの対応には本当にがっかりしました。
幼いこどもを連れて時間に遅れないよう時間管理をし、何ヶ月も前からスケジュールを立てて楽しみに旅行に来ているのに、こんな不安な思いや不快な思いをしなければならないのは残念です。
ベルトラさんにもメールでお迎えが来ない旨ご相談したのですが、催行会社との間に入り、迅速に大変親身にご対応いただきました。ベルトラさんからのご連絡で初めて催行会社側のミスで送迎先がシェラトンワイキキになっていたことを知りました。催行会社の方はその旨の説明も謝罪もなく、ベルトラさんと催行会社の間での伝達ミスのような言い方をされました。ミスをするのは人間なのでしょうがないと思います。しかし誠実な説明や謝罪ないのはこちらに対して大変失礼だと思います。
ベルトラさんはおすすめしますが、こちらの催行会社はおすすめしません。

I participated in a honeymoon trip at the end of January. I checked in at 8:00 and we departed right on time at 8:45! It seems like checking in just 15 minutes before departure would still be fine.

Onboard, you can purchase drinks and light snacks like bagels. The ship has four floors, and the restrooms were clean and plentiful, which was reassuring.

It was a whale watching tour, and we were lucky to see a pod of dolphins right after we set sail! We also caught a few glimpses of the whales, which was incredibly exciting, especially when we saw their tails! (Due to conservation regulations, we couldn't get too close.) It was a tour that satisfied my desire to experience the grandeur of the ocean and see wild whales.

I could see a little. 少し見えました

Reviewed by: あっこ

In early January, I was able to see whales spouting and their tails. However, I didn't see the whales in the way shown in the reference photo. Still, the cruising experience itself was enjoyable! Viewing Waikiki from the sea, the airplanes flying in the sky, and the gentle sunlight felt very pleasant.

Unfortunately, I got seasick on the return trip and had to rush to the restroom several times... It wasn't particularly rough, and I usually don't get motion sickness. There were many other passengers, including children, but it seemed I was the only one who got seasick.

I chose a plan without transportation and took a taxi from my hotel in Waikiki. I thought the driver might have taken a longer route, but it cost about $40 including the tip.

After getting out of the taxi, I was unsure where to go, but when I headed towards the docked boat, I found a desk and people there, which helped me realize that was the check-in area, so I showed my voucher.

Once on board, there was an immediate photo service from the boat staff, and later, a staff member came around to see if we wanted to buy the developed photos. We purchased them for about $35. It seems many people chose not to buy.

There is a Japanese information board at the waiting area tables inside the boat, so it's good to read that beforehand.

Since I boarded early, the staff asked if I wanted to order snacks. I don't think it's necessary to order, but I requested a bagel and coffee, and I paid in cash including a tip for the staff who brought it. Other early boarders, including some foreigners, also placed orders.

The restrooms were bright, spacious, and clean.

The crew and staff were all cheerful and friendly. All announcements and conversations from the staff were in English, but there were recorded announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales.

Most of the customers were from Western countries, and there were fewer Japanese. The crowd ranged from families with children to seniors.

It was a sunny day, but with the sea breeze and sunlight, I think it's best to wear clothing that allows for temperature regulation. I wore a long-sleeved cover-up and jeans, and I didn't feel hot.

Since this is a winter-only activity, I think it's a great idea for those who can participate during this season!

1月上旬でクジラは潮吹きと尾ビレが見えました。
参考例の写真のようなクジラの姿は見られなかったです。
でも、クルージング自体も楽しかったです！海から見るワイキキ 、空を飛ぶ飛行機、穏やかな日差しなど、とても気持ち良かったです。

ただ、私は復路で船酔いしてしまい、何度もトイレに駆け込みました…。特別揺れがひどいわけではなかったですし、乗り物酔いしない方ではあったのですが。
同船者は子供も含めて他にも沢山いましたが、船酔いしたのは私だけだったようです。

送迎はなしのプランで、ワイキキのホテルからタクシーで行きました。少し遠回りされたかもと思いましたが、チップ含めて40ドルくらいでした。

タクシーを降りた後、どこに行けば良いか迷いましたが、停泊していた船の方に行ってみると、デスクと人がいてそこが受付だなと分かってバウチャーを見せました。

乗船後は、すぐに船側から記念撮影のサービスがあり、後程現像された写真を買わないかとスタッフが回ってきます。うちは買いました。確か35ドルくらいでした。買わない方も多いようです。

船内の待合スペースのテーブルには日本語での案内ボードがありますので、それを読んでおくと良いです。

早くに乗っていたので、船内スタッフから軽食のオーダーを聞かれました。頼まなくても良いと思いますが、うちはベーグルとコーヒーをお願いし、運んでくれたスタッフへのチップも含めて現金で支払いました。早くに乗っていた方は他の外国人さんも含めて頼んでいました。

トイレも明るく広くて綺麗でした。

クルー、スタッフは皆さんにこやかでフレンドリーです。
スタッフのお話や放送はすべて英語ですが、録音放送で日本語によるクジラの説明などがあります。

お客様は欧米の方が多く、日本人は少なめでした。お子様連れからシニア層まで幅広い客層でした。

よく晴れていましたが、海風や日差しもあるので、体温調節できる服装がいいと思います。私は長袖の羽織にとジーンズで行きました。暑いとは思わなかったです。

冬限定のアクティビティなので、時期が合う方は参加されるといいと思います！

I couldn't see any whales, but later I heard that it's quite rare to see them around Oahu. Even if you do see them, they are said to be very far away. I think it would be better to participate in Maui or similar locations.

年末に参加しました。
酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが、船がとてもゆっくりで陸に戻るまで辛かったです。
クジラも見る事ができなかったのですが、後で聞くとオアフで見られるのはかなり希なようですね。
見る事ができてもとても遠いとの事でした。
マウイ島などで参加されるのがよいと思います。

I was able to see whales! クジラ見れました！

Reviewed by: えりか

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I could only take long vacations in May and August, and it wasn't whale watching season, so I couldn't even join a tour. This time, I will be going to Hawaii in January for my honeymoon, and I first booked a whale watching tour!

I was worried because I read that there are days when you can't see them, but luckily, I was able to see a little bit!!! Since it was a mother and calf, I could see the big back and the small back alternately.

If we had seen the tail fin, I might have felt more like we actually saw a whale, but it can't be helped. I can't help but feel greedy, but it's quite rare to see wild whales, so it was a very good experience! I was also glad to see the rare view of Diamond Head and the Waikiki coastline from the sea!

The boat swayed enough to make you feel unsteady, so even if you don't usually get seasick, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.

何度かハワイに来たことがあるのですが、5月、8月しか長期休暇が取れず、ホエールウォッチングシーズンではなかったのでツアーに参加することすら出来ませんでした。。
今回ハネムーンで1月にハワイに行くことになり、最初にホエールウォッチングツアーを予約しました！

見れない日もあると口コミにあり心配でしたが、、運良くちょっとだけ見ることが出来ました！！！
親子だったので、大きい背中と小さい背中が交互に見れました。

尾ビレが見えればクジラを見れた感をもっと感じられたのかもしれませんが、、しょうがないですね。
どうしても欲が出てしまいますが、そもそも野生の？クジラを見れることはなかなかないのでとても良い経験になりました！
海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキの海岸もレアな景色も見ることが出来て良かったです！

船はヨタヨタ歩きになるぐらい揺れるので、乗り物酔いをしない方も酔い止めは飲んで行った方が良いと思います。

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

Saw a humpback breach!

Reviewed by: Jason

My wife and I took this tour while staying at Waikiki in January. It was an ideal day for whale spotting conditions. The naturalist was very knowledgeable, and the boat had plenty of room for all the passengers to see the surroundings. We watched one whale surface nearer to the shore, then went out deeper by Diamondhead. Just as we were approaching a possible sighting, we saw a humpback breach and jump out of the water. It was spectacular! Highly recommend this tour! Guaranteed sightings!

I participated in whale watching with the mindset that it would be nice to see a whale since it's nature. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales, but it was very enjoyable as a cruising experience. The pickup was very clear, and the staff was super cute. The performances on the boat were all in English, so I didn't understand anything, but it was strangely uplifting. The weather was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly in short sleeves.

ホエールウオッチングだけど、自然相手ですから、クジラは見れたら良いなぁ、くらいの気持ちで参加しました。
結果、残念ながらクジラには遭遇しませんでしたが、クルージングとして、とても楽しかったです(^_^)v
ピックアップの時も、とってもわかりやすく、とってもキュートなお姉さんでした。
船内のパフォーマンスは全て英語のため、全然意味が解らないのに、テンションが上がってしまうのは不思議ですねwww
天候が曇りだったため、半袖ではちょっと肌寒かったです。

Beautiful boat ride along Honolulu, Waikiki and the crater Volcano. The crew made sure everyone on the boat saw each whale sighting and what direction they were sited in. We saw them 5 times on our excursion.

Reviewed by: oujirou

I thought we would head out to the open sea, but we actually progressed to a distance where we could see land from Waikiki Beach to just past Diamond Head. I was half in doubt, wondering if we would really see whales this close. I thought the chances of seeing them were even lower than seeing the aurora, so I didn't have high expectations, but we did see them. Two whales? showed us their spouts multiple times, and the boat followed them closely. Although we didn't see their tails or large bodies, I was satisfied. I couldn't believe we could see them so close to shore; it felt like they were either trained or robotic. Since it was a large boat, there was little rocking, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness.

沖の方に出るのかと思ったらワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドヘッドの先あたりまで、陸が見える距離を進み、こんな近くに鯨が出るの？？と半信半疑でした。出現確率もオーロラより低いんじゃないの？とあまり期待していませんでしたが、見れました。2頭？が何度も潮吹きを見せてくれて、船も追いかけるように進んでくれました。尾びれや大きな姿は見れませんでしたが満足しました。こんなに近海で見れるなんて、飼いならしているかロボットか？と思うほどでした。大きな船なので、揺れも少なくて船酔いの心配なし。

Afternoon Whale Watch Sail from Hilton Waikiki Pier - Spirit of Aloha [Dec-Mar]

Best part of our Hawaii vacation

Reviewed by: Susie

Purchasing on line was a breeze. Check in was quick and easy. The all-female crew was professional, knowledgeable, and FUN. Cruising along the Waikiki shore was exhilarating and relaxing at the same time, and we had no problem seeing whales. We even got to see the illusive tail flip! Cannot recommend this enough. It was the highlight of our vacation. (We were first-time Waikiki visitors)

I participated in whale watching with Star of Honolulu. The large vessel provided excellent stability. The whales did not breach as much as shown in the promotional videos, and I regret having set my expectations too high. It's difficult to meet expectations when dealing with nature.

大きい船体で安定感抜群でした。
クジラの姿は資料映像ほど跳ね上がることがなく、期待しすぎていたと反省です。自然相手ではなかなか期待通りにはいかないものです。

I could clearly see the back of a whale. The weather was nice, and the largest boat in Hawaii was comfortable with little rocking. I recommend bringing a jacket as the air conditioning is quite strong.

Waikiki from the sea 海からのワイキキ

Reviewed by: 釣りバカ

I only saw the whales twice, and they were quite far away. I was hoping to see them up closer, so I was a bit disappointed. But since it's a natural occurrence, it can't be helped. However, the view of Waikiki from the sea was quite impressive, and I was satisfied.

くじらは、２回、遠くに見えた程度でした。もっと、近くで見えるかと思っていたので、すこし残念でした。自然のものなので、しょうがないですね。でも、海からのワイキキの景観は、なかなかのもので、満足しました。

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

We had a whale of a time!

Reviewed by: Nosh & Momo

The morning whale watching cruise was excellent! The weather was perfect and the crew were friendly and informative. Before taking off we learned a few facts about whales and were able to purchase a snack from the snack bar. The cruise itself was magnificent and we saw several whales. It was such a a delight! I'd also like to mention that the restrooms on board the boat were extremely clean (When on a tour this isn't something you always encounter). My friend and I had a splendid time. We would not hesitate to take this cruise again. The one thing everyone should be aware of though is the parking fee. The boat does not valid and parking in the adjacent lot was a bit pricey.
