This time, I participated with small children.
I recommend it for those who can't swim, get seasick, or small children who want to see marine life.
You can see a lot of sharks and tropical fish, and the kids were very happy!
Since it's air-conditioned, I recommend bringing a light jacket.
今回、小さい子供を連れての参加です。
泳げない人や、船酔いする人、小さいお子さんで海の生物を見たい人にはお勧めです。
鮫やら熱帯魚やらをたくさん見ることができ、子供たちもご機嫌!
冷房が利いているので、一枚羽織るものを思って行くことをお勧めします。

Since you won't see them if you don't go during this season, I went for the second time. The waves were a bit high, so they didn't appear for a while, but they finally showed themselves. They were a bit farther away than last time, but it was great to feel the size of the whales again. I recommend it for those who can go during the whale season.
この時期に行かないと見ないので、2回目ですが、行ってきました。
少し波が高いので、なかなか現れなかったのですが、ようやく姿を見せてくれました。
前回より遠めですが、改めて鯨の大きさを感じれて良かったです。
鯨のいる季節に行かれる方はお薦めです。

Before boarding the submarine, we traveled by boat, and the view from the sea was amazing. The performance... I was surprised when the submarine suddenly appeared. I boarded the submarine with high expectations. However, I was disappointed that there were fewer types of fish than I had imagined... I wanted to see turtles.
潜水艦に乗る前に船で行くのですが海から見た景色が素晴らしかった。パフオーマンス・・潜水艦が突然出てきた時はビックリしちゃいました。期待して潜水艦に乗りこみました。でも、自分が想っていたよりも魚の種類が少なかったのがっかり・・亀に会いたかった。

When the catamaran first set sail, I relaxed while slowly enjoying the view of Waikiki Beach with a Mai Tai in hand! However, once we got out to sea, the waves were high, and the boat swayed significantly back and forth, making it very difficult to stand. Many people got splashed and soaked... it was full of thrills. (I'm not sure if this is always the case...)
カタマランが出帆した当初はワイキキビーチの景色をゆっくり見ながらマイタイを口に含み十分リラックス!ところが沖に出ると波が高く前後左右に大きく揺れ、とても立って居られません。波しぶきを浴び、びしょ濡れになった人も多く・・・スリル満点でした。(いつもなのかどうかは分かりませんが・・)

On my twelfth trip to Hawaii, I went whale watching for the first time. I had low expectations, thinking it would be nice if we saw some whales. However, the onboard announcements provided updates on whale sightings, and by patiently watching in that direction, I was treated to an emotional sight. I was deeply moved by the sight of the whales spouting water as they swam with their family.
12回目のハワイで初のホエールウォッチング。
まあ、見れたらいいかな…ぐらいの期待度でしたが船内放送で随時クジラの情報を放送してくれるのでその方向を根気強く見ていると感動の光景が。
何度も家族で泳ぐクジラの潮吹きに大感動でした。

Since it was mid-April, most tours had already ended. Just when I was about to give up, I came across this tour. I participated knowing that the chances of seeing whales were low, but I was able to see several of them. I even witnessed the moment when they dove straight down to the seabed. The other tour participants were also cheering. It was fun. I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.
4月の中旬だったので、ほとんどのツアーが終了されていました。諦めかけていた時にこのツアーに遭遇しました。
クジラに会えない確率の方が高いのを覚悟して参加しましたが、何頭も見ることができました。まっすぐに海底に潜る瞬間の尾ひれも見れました。ツアー客の人たちも歓声を上げていました。楽しかったです。又参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

My husband & I are in Oahu in our honeymoon and we saw this and had to book it. The staff is so friendly and helpful! We sat on the nets, which going there was fun and what you would expect, but after snorkeling they take you sailing for a unique look at the island, but beware if you are sitting on the net..you WILL get soaked...but it truly is so much fun! They take you to the reef where turtles go to go their backs cleaned by fish. My recommendation when you swim to watch the turtles is to hang out on the side of the group. Most people will huddle over the turtles, but the have to come up for air, so if you are not in the chunk of people you will get a closer look because they will head your way for air! We saw lots of them and even some baby turtles! The fish in the water are beautiful as well and will swim all around you. I think it is definitely worth the $51! Book today and don't forget your underwater camera like I did!

This year, I participated with my parents and children, spanning three generations. Since we had children with us, we decided to join the Honolulu for whale watching, as it seemed that the boat activities were not suitable for them yet. I had heard that the area where whales appear is beyond Hawaii Kai, but it seemed that the Honolulu mainly offered sightseeing, as the tour only went as far as providing a view of Waikiki. If you have the time and are mainly interested in sightseeing, it might be fine, but for those hoping for the kind of whale watching advertised, I think other activities would be better.
今年お正月に両親、子供と3世代で参加しました。
子供がいるため、ホエールウォッチングにはまだボートでのアクティビティは出来そうになかったので
ホノルル号で参加を決めたのですが、
ホエールの現れるエリアはハワイカイより先と聞いておりましたが、ホノルル号は遊覧がメインなのか
ワイキキを見渡せるあたりまでの遊覧でした。
時間があり遊覧をメインとされるのであればいいかと思いますが、宣伝で使ってるようなホエールウォッチングを希望される方は
他のアクティビティがいいかと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very sorry to hear that there weren't many whales to be seen on the day you visited. On some days, we are fortunate enough to witness the magnificent sight of whales breaching. If you have another opportunity, please do come back to search for those whales.

We participated as a family on April 2nd. Since there was no pickup at 8 AM, I was thinking of taking the trolley bus, but it seemed that it wasn't running yet. I heard that I could take the bus, so I waited for the 19 or 20 mentioned in the book, but since I didn't check the schedule, it took a while to arrive. I ended up taking a taxi in a hurry.
The office location was hard to find. I stayed under the Aloha Tower for a while, but since I needed to go to the restroom, I headed towards the large ship and found the office. They take a photo when you board, which costs $18. If the waves are calm, there's no worry about seasickness. You can see the whales' spouts and tails from a distance. They announced that you can only see the high jumps in winter. The kids got bored quickly.
I was able to enjoy a nice nap while being gently hit by the pleasant sea breeze until we returned to the port (laughs). There were a few foreigners eating fruit, so it seems like bringing food is not prohibited...
4/2に家族で参加しました
8時集合の迎えなしだったのでトロリーバスでいこうかとおもっていましたが
まだ運行時間ではなかったようでthe BUSでも行けると聞いたので
本に載っていた19か20を待ちましたが時間を調べなかったのでなかなか来ず

I attended this with my husband and son. They are both strong swimmers, but I am not. I've never snorkeled before, and this is not where I should have tried it for the first time. I had a life jacket on, so I knew I was safe, but the water was very deep, and the water had 4-6 foot swells. We had to swim against the current to get to the turtles. The waves were too much for me, I got tired quickly, I was uncomfortable with it being so deep, and the waves so high, so I got back in the boat. My husband and son enjoyed it though, and got up close to the turtles. At one point some spinner dolphins approached the group, but because everyone is looking down, only a few of the swimmers saw them. The leader stayed with the group, and I felt the staff were excellent. After the snorkeling they put up the sail and we took off past Diamond Head, looking for whales. We didnt see any, but we spotted some bottle nose dolphins in the distance. And the ride was fun. The lunch was very basic

The boat rocked quite a bit. It was difficult to stand, so those who are prone to seasickness might find it a bit challenging. Eating was also difficult in those conditions. The whales didn't show themselves very often. After seeing them spout water a few times, we only caught a glimpse of their backs, but it was still moving. Onboard, there were plenty of fun activities like hula dancing, lei-making, and ukulele lessons. I made a lei to take home. I am grateful for such a valuable and fulfilling experience. I would like to go again as a repeat visitor. Thank you, Alan1, for the wonderful memories. Mahalo~

I participated in late March, towards the end of the season. It seems that if you can't see any whales, you can get a reboarding ticket, but due to scheduling conflicts, I couldn't reboard, so I was worried about whether I would see any whales.
In the end, I was able to see whales up close. I had booked a meal-inclusive course, but if you see a whale, you should focus on watching the whale and interrupt your meal. There is plenty of time for dining.
シーズン終盤の3月下旬に参加しました。
見られない場合は再乗船券をもらえるようですが、スケジュールの都合で再乗船はできないので、クジラが見られるか心配でした。
結果は間近でクジラを見ることができました。食事付きのコースを予約しましたが、クジラが見えたら食事を中断してクジラを見ることに専念すべきです。食事の時間は結構あります。

We will set sail around 4:00 PM and return before 6:00 PM. One of the great points is being able to see Waikiki from a perspective that you can't from the ground. Additionally, you can view Diamond Head from an angle that is usually not visible, which was also nice. We'll return just in time for sunset, so you'll get to see a really beautiful sunset. Since drinks are all-you-can-drink, I think it's great for those who can handle their alcohol and don't get seasick!
16:00ころ出航して、18:00前くらいに戻ってきます。
地上からは見ることの出来ないワイキキの姿を見れるのがグッドポイントです。またダイアモンドヘッドも普段は見れない角度から見れてこれも良かった。
戻ってくる頃にちょうどサンセットの時間帯ですごくきれいな夕日が見れます。
お酒が飲み放題なので、お酒が強くて、船酔いしない人にとっては良いと思います!

I participated on March 22. Since it was near the end of the season, I was worried about not seeing any whales, but I thought it would be good to enjoy the cruising experience. While we were still on our way to the destination, we saw a spout at the back of the boat. There was no announcement at that time. After that, with the captain's announcement, we were able to see spouts and dark bodies multiple times. When the tail fin was visible, all the participants cheered. The wind was strong, but my whole family was satisfied. Thank you very much.

I didn't feel seasick on the large ship, and there was no rocking. Although I couldn't see anything on the way there, we spotted a whale when we turned around! It was off the coast between Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, showing its back and tail. I was able to capture it on video.
The staff provided explanations, but it was unfortunate that we couldn't hear them well from the first floor. The second floor might be better for staff who want to see far away. I think it's fine for visitors to be on the first floor.
The whale is not visible in the photo. The mountain is Diamond Head.

When the whale was spotted, there was a cheer from everyone.

It was said that we couldn't get closer than 100 yards (just under 100 meters) for whale protection, but I felt like we could see the whales' tails, spouts, and backs from a few hundred meters away. I chose a plan that included lunch and transportation, but the lunch might have been unnecessary. (During the meal, there were announcements about whale sightings, so I couldn't eat in peace, and the food got cold and wasn't tasty.)
I think it would be better to separate the experiences: a reasonable morning tour focused on whale watching, and a sunset dinner cruise on the same Star of Honolulu for enjoying a meal. Also, since the whales were quite far away, I feel that my child wouldn't be very impressed even when they grow up a bit more. (Unless we were lucky enough to have the whales come closer.)
I chose the transportation option, but the area around Aloha Tower, where the boat departs, has a small mall, and it seemed like a nice place to stroll, so it might be better to take a taxi ourselves.
100ヤード(100メートル弱)以内には、鯨保護のために近寄れないとのことでしたが、感覚的には数百メートル先で鯨さんの尻尾や潮吹き、数回背中などが望めました。 私は1歳8ヶ月の子連れで、ランチつき、送迎付のプランを選択しましたが、ランチは余計だったかもしれません。(食べている間にも鯨発見!のアナウンスが流れたりして落ち着いて食べられず、冷めてしまって美味しくないので)
なので、鯨を見るなら鯨を見る、に集中したリーズナブルな午前中のツアー、お食事を楽しむなら同じスターオブホノルル号で行くサンセットディナークルーズ、と分けたほうが良いような気がしました。 また、あまりに鯨が遠いので、子どもは相当大きくなってもあまり感動しない気がします。(運良く近くに来てくれれば別でしょうけれども)。
送迎付を選びましたが、船の発着するアロハタワー近辺はちょっとしたモールもあって、お散歩するのも楽しそうだったので自分たちでタクシーで行くほうが良いかもしれません。

We participated as a family of four. Since I have experienced dinner cruises on large ships twice before, this time we chose the catamaran. The ship was almost full, but we were the only Japanese guests. There were many foreign couples, and the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai was very popular. I had three myself.
It does sway quite a bit (sometimes the captain intentionally makes it rock), so it's not suitable for families with small children, but you can stand on the deck, and I think it's perfect for adult groups. Also, since we stayed at the Sheraton, it's very convenient for those staying at nearby hotels. I definitely want to participate again next time.
家族4名で参加しました。
大型船でのディナークルーズは、これまで2回経験しているので、今回はカタマラン号にしました。
船内は、ほぼ満席でしたが、日本人は我々だけ。外国人は、カップルも多く、飲み放題でマイタイが大人気。私も3杯いただきました。
さすがに揺れるので(船長がわざと揺らす場合もあります)、小さい子供づれには不向きですが、甲板にも立てますし、大人のグループには最適だと思います。また、宿泊がシェラトンだったのっで、近くのホテルに宿泊の方はとても便利です。
次回もぜひ参加したいです。

This is something that depends on nature, so it's hard to say...
I chose to participate in Navatek because the STAR OF HONOLULU has a larger ship, making it difficult to get a window seat.
I saw the spout and tail fins about eight times, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the main body. However, the weather was pleasant, and I enjoyed the nature tour.
Onboard, the nature guide provided constant commentary (in English). There was one Japanese guide, but their explanations were quite soft-spoken and difficult to hear, which was disappointing. Since there were many Japanese guests, I hope they can improve on this.
There are many decks, so if it’s not crowded, there was plenty of space to wait outside for the whales.

デッキの数は多いので、満員でなければ、外でクジラ待ちをするスペースは
じゅうぶんありました。

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 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。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you for your comment. We are very happy to hear that you encountered whales. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again!
