I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see any whales, but I was happy to spend a relaxing time on the boat, feeling the sea breeze. The blue ocean and sky with white clouds were truly refreshing. I thought the view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea was quite nice as well. Even if you can't see whales, you can receive a ticket for another trip later. If you tell the staff with the board your name, you'll get the ticket. If I had a few more days, I definitely would have liked to go again.
クジラを観ることが出来なかった為、少しガッカリしましたが、潮風に吹かれてのんびりと船で過ごせて嬉しかったです。
青い海と青い空に白い雲、本当に気持ち良かったです。
海から見るダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキもなかなか良いと思いました。
クジラを観ることが出来なくても、後日乗れる乗船券をもらうことが出来ます。
ボードを持ったスタッフに名前を伝えるとチケットをもらえます。
もう少し日にちがあったら、是非また乗りたかったです。

It was a comfortable catamaran boat. It was a bit small, but we were able to see several whales swimming perfectly. Thanks to our cheerful guide, we really enjoyed the cruise.

I found the catamaran and understood the meeting point, but the reception was not open at the meeting time, so there was a bit of a wait. After the reception ended, there was more waiting, but when the catamaran that had been docked suddenly started moving out to sea, I felt a bit anxious. Since no passengers were on board, I thought it would be fine. We moved to the boarding area and boarded again. As mentioned in other people's experiences, there were hardly any Japanese people, just our family. Communication with the staff was not established, but it wasn't a problem. They asked if we wanted drinks, and we could respond in simple English. We encountered whales while sailing. It was a windy day, but it wasn't too bumpy, which was reassuring. I was wondering whether to prepare motion sickness medication, but this time I was fine. Occasionally, we got splashed with water, but I enjoyed that too. We could also see the other side of Diamond Head. There were various sailing options, and I was unsure which one to choose, but if you just want to enjoy sailing, I think this one is affordable and recommended. I sat under the sail, which provided shade and was a nice spot. Thank you very much.
カタマランを見つけて集合場所を理解でしましたが受付は集合時間にはオープンしておらず少し待ち時間があります
受付が終了してそこからまた待ち時間がありますが、停泊していたカタマランが突然動き始め海へ出た時は少し焦りました
誰も客が乗車していなかったので問題ないだろうとは思いましたが
乗船場所まで移動して改めて乗船しました
他の方の体験談にもありましたが日本人はほとんどおらず私たち家族だけです

ドリンクはいりませんか、と確認してくれますが簡単な英語で返答可能です
セーリング中にクジラにも遭遇しました
風の強い日でしたが、それほど揺れなくて安心

What an amazing time! We got picked up a minute away from our hotel and the bus driver even shared some Oahu history during the ride! We opted for the five star dinner and it was incredible. We felt like VIPs! Incredible food, the BEST steak I have ever had and delicious champagne. Live Jazz music on our deck and stunning views. Definitely going to do it again next time we visit! I recommend bringing a jacket as it can get pretty windy on the outside deck and indoors is air-conditioned.

Check-in starts at 8:30 at the desk located just before the pier. Three cheerful female crew members operate the boat. Shortly after departure, we were welcomed by a whale. After a round trip towards Diamond Head, we took a break around Turtle Canyon, where we could see a few turtles. It was about an hour of sailing while quenching our thirst with soft drinks. There's nothing particularly special, but for this price, I was very satisfied.

We were able to see whales safely, although we were a bit far away. However, the wind was strong and the waves were high, causing the boat to rock a lot. By the time we reached the whale watching point, the situation was quite tough, and honestly, it felt like we couldn't focus on seeing the whales at all. Those who don't get seasick seemed to be having a great time, but I think it's essential for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication.
少し離れたところからではありましたが、無事にクジラは見れました。ただ風が強く、波も高かったので船がすごく揺れました。クジラが見れるポイントについた時にはかなり辛い状況で、正直クジラを見るどころではない感じでした。船酔いしない人は楽しそうにしてましたが、酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須だと思います。

I participated in the tour on February 9th. This was my third time joining this tour. The first two tours were in January, and I was very satisfied and enjoyed both, seeing whales with their young, very large tails, and spouting water. This time, I was drawn in by the "second person free" offer, but compared to the calm sailing I experienced before, the wind was strong and the boat rocked quite a bit. I thought I wouldn't need motion sickness medication based on my previous experiences, so I participated without taking any, which made me quite worried about getting seasick. My sister was also not in a state to go out on the deck, so she sat in a chair placed in the aisle on the second floor of the boat. Surprisingly, this spot turned out to be a hidden gem, as no one stood in front of us and there was nothing obstructing our view, allowing us to sit and enjoy the scenery until the end. Since I was sitting on the right side of the boat, at first, I could only see the endless horizon, the large, crashing waves, and small boats that looked like they might sink, which made me a bit anxious. However, on the way back to the port, the view of Diamond Head and the hotels in Waikiki spread out before us, and I naturally ended up taking a lot of photos. Although we didn't encounter any whales this time, the view of the Waikiki hotels from the sea is something you don't get to see often, so I recommend experiencing it at least once. Since we didn't see any whales, there will be ticket distribution for the next time, but it's only in English, so please be careful not to miss it.
2/9のツアーに参加しました。このツアーの参加は3回目になります。2回のツアーは1月でした。子供を連れたクジラやとても大きな尾ひれ、吹き上がる潮など2回ともとても満足で楽しめました。今回は2人目無料に惹かれて再びの参加でしたが、今までの穏やかな航行に比べて風も強く揺れも強く踏ん張ってもふらつくほどで、今までの経験から酔い止めは必要ないと思っていましたので飲むことなく参加してしまい船酔いしないかととても心配でした。妹もとてもデッキに出る状態ではなかったので2階の船の通路に置かれている椅子に座っていましたが、案外とこの場所が穴場で前に人が立つことなく遮るものも無かったので、最後まで座って景色を見ることができました。船の右側に座っていたので初めはどこまでも続く水平線や大きく波打ち荒れるボートや沈んでしまいそうな小舟ばかりが目に入り少し不安でしたが、港に戻る航路にはダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキのホテル群が広がって自然と写真を撮りまくっていました。今回はクジラには出会えませんでしたが海から眺めるワイキキのホテル群はなかなか見れない景色なので一度体験してみてください。クジラに会えなかったので次回のチケット配布がありますが英語のみなので聞き逃さないように気を付けてください。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise for the third time. We are sorry that you were unable to see any whales during this cruise, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views from the ship. We hope you will visit us again. Next time, you will surely be able to enjoy whale watching. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

After watching the sunrise at Diamond Head, I returned to the hotel to change and then participated in the 10:30 whale watching tour. I thought I might not see any whales since it was only a two-hour trip, but I was able to see whales multiple times, although they were a bit distant on either side of the boat. It was also thanks to being on the boat that I could see Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach! It was cloudy, so it wasn't a concern, but on a sunny day, it would be wise to apply sunscreen thoroughly (the wind is strong, so hats can fly away). One point to note is that the announcements were only in English, and it was a bit unclear that I needed to sign a waiver before boarding, but other than that, I was really satisfied.
ダイヤモンドヘッドの朝日を見て、ホテルに帰って着替えてから、10時半のホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
2時間なので見えないかもと思っていましたが、船の左右で少し離れてはいましたが何度も鯨を見ることができました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチが見えるのも船に乗ったからこそ!
曇り空だったので気になりませんでしたが、快晴なら日焼け止めをしっかり塗ったほうが良さそう。(風が強いので帽子は飛んでいきます)
ただ一点、英語のアナウンスのみのため、補償契約を乗船前に書かなくてはいけないのが分かりづらかったけど、それ以外は本当に満足でした。

As the title says, it's an awesome way to spend a morning in Oahu! (Feb 2024)
We arrived early to self park and upon boarding we're guided to the main lower deck for a brief introduction and instructions. The Star of Honolulu was spacious with several decks, allowing options for guests as to how they want to go about the whale watching experience. Our group stayed on the second deck, not too many people went there (we think, as compared to the top deck).
Kaitlyn, our naturalist, was entertaining - lots of dad jokes* - and information about the wildlife in the area (whales, dolphins, etc).
Finally the highlight of the tour, the whale sighting! We were very lucky to be able to witness a mama whale teaching her baby whale how to breach! It was so fun and amazing to watch them play around in the water. That's sure to be an unforgettable experience. It was good timing too that we visited Hawaii during peak whale watching season.
Other points I'd like to mention:
- The restroom was clean and had a lot of stalls, so you wouldn't have to worry.
- The crew also mentioned that they had ginger chews to help if you're feeling a bit seasick.
- Food & drinks are available to purchase onboard.
- I was rather a bit worried that the life vests were only available inside the benches on the main deck (iirc). I think it might be good to make sure there are life vests in other areas of the boat as well in case of emergency. Not everyone on the upper decks might be able to come down the stairs. Or maybe I'm just being a worrywart, don't mind me.
*KRILL-ed cheese was my favorite joke. :D

Hello everybody,
Let me share our experience (honeymooners) on the 5 Stars Course of that Dinner Cruise with you.
In terms of hospitality, starting from the pick-up crew, to the captains and waitress (many thanks to lovely Jordan), it was just great.
We had an super easy pick up with a bus, where everyone received a sticker depending on the course they’ve booked and then took around 15-30 minutes to get the harbor.
Everyone had a warm welcome with local dance and music in front of the boat while boarding. Once we have taken our seats, we were welcomed with nice champagne and some cheese and ham plate with crackers.
In terms of the food in that day, it was simply amazing and tasty. ESPECIALLY the served meat. Whoever cooked that: genius!
Anyhow, besides food and drinks we got the chance to explore the boat between the food breaks. We had an amazing view on Waikiki/Diamond Head/other boats, even though it was cloudy. It was still very enjoyable. And also we had the great luck to see whales! That was the cherry on top.
Well, besides all of that going on, we had live entertainment (pianist, some Saxophon and some singer - all just awesome). They’ll also take a picture of you, so for 30$ you can purchase them.
In the end, everyone with some special occasion was asked to dance in the middle of the room, which was pretty romantic.
Overall, it was really worth it.
Minus points for:
- photo only available as data file for another 20$ (why?!)
- pretty chilly inside the boat (but guess this depends on the season)
Overall, just great! Would love to board once more in the future.
Thanks everyone!

Good value, tour guides very nice and knowledgeable, made sure everyone was safe and pointed out the sea turtles. The water was a bit murky that day but we still got to see a lot of fish and some sea turtles. The only part I didn’t like was at the end the guide threw crackers into the water to attract fish so we could get a better view of the fish. This seems like it would be bad for the fish and not sustainable.

We participated as a couple in our 70s. First of all, the view from the ship was amazing! We were able to see the buildings of Hawaii and Diamond Head from the sea side, and we enjoyed it even when we couldn't see any whales. We spotted whales about three times! Although we couldn't see their entire bodies, we were able to see their tails and the spouts. The interior of the ship was spacious, and we could go out to the deck from various levels, which made it fun to experience the different views. Right after boarding, there was a photo session, and we received the developed photos at the end. Onboard, we could purchase light snacks, soft drinks, and alcohol.

After deciding to go to Hawaii, I was asked to go fishing, so I made a reservation here. Although they didn't speak Japanese, we managed to communicate since it was fishing. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all. During our trip, we didn't catch many fish overall, but my son caught three small ones and released them. Although we couldn't eat them, my son was very satisfied to be able to fish in the beautiful sea.

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.
Aloha Brooke,
We are thrilled to hear that even though you didn't see whales you still had a great time out there with us! please give us a call and we will set you back up for a complimentary whale watch so that you can try see them! you can do this as many times as you need till you see them! ill let our reservations team know!

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.

This time, since it was my first visit to Hawaii in a while, I booked a dinner cruise for the last day. We were guided to the fourth floor, which featured a gorgeous space and a spacious deck. You can immediately tell it’s a special setting. The sunset view across the sea from the window, combined with the magical beauty of the sunset, creates the perfect location. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but everything was delicious with delicate seasoning. By the time we reached the main course, I was usually quite full, and even if they served a steak with an overly marbled texture at that point, I could only manage a bite. However, the steak had a good balance of texture, which I personally rated highly. There was piano music, saxophone, and live jazz singing, creating an extraordinary atmosphere that matched the dress code. The captain greeted each guest, and the staff's attentive service was refined. Since I participated with my spouse, I imagined how wonderful it would be to spend this special time with all our children as well. I definitely want to participate again. T.K
I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first sunset cruise on the Honolulu. Perhaps because it was a weekday, all the middle seats were empty, and we were seated by the window with a view. The atmosphere was very nice, and the guests, wearing bright red dresses, added a touch of elegance to the space. The course meal included an appetizer of assorted cheeses, a salad (with lobster), a sorbet in between, thick-cut roast beef with truffle mashed potatoes, cheesecake, and coffee. Everything was truly delicious, and I could really feel the quality of 5A. With live performances, it was a dinner cruise that left me completely satisfied. S.K
今回は久しぶりのハワイという事で、最終日にディナークルーズを予約。
4階部分に案内され、ゴージャスな空間と、広めのデッキ。
特別な空間とすぐにわかります。
窓から見れる海を挟んでの夕景は、日の入り時の幻想的な美しさと合わさって、最高のロケーションに。
食事はあまり期待していませんでしたが、繊細さを持つ味付けでどれも美味しい。

ピアノ演奏、サックス、ジャスの生歌があり、ドレスコードに合った演出に、非日常感があります。
キャプテンが一人一人に挨拶され、スタッフの方の丁寧なもてなしも洗練されたものがあります。

Nova Five Star package should be renamed to, 'Ten Star.' The reason being this package was over the top elegant, professional, and accommodating. Each table had their own charcuterie board, which was perfect snack to get the evening started.
The meal was served in an order that was so unique. I had never had sorbet in the middle of a meal, and I'm still dreaming of the texture and flavor. The presentation/ quality of food was very impressive. Each course amazed me more and more!
The music throughout the meal was so relaxing, and set the mood for a delightful evening. If you are looking for an intimate evening with your loved one, this is the package for you!

We had our own private table seating next to the window and we enjoyed the night view even without having to explore the boat.
We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dinner. The steak was exceptionally tender, and the fresh fruit sorbet was our favorite. The servers provided excellent service as well, and the entertainment complemented the rainy weather, creating a more relaxing atmosphere.
Anyone looking for a romantic celebration on Valentine's Day, Anniversary, or any special occasion, the NOVA Five Star aboard the Star of Honolulu is an ideal choice.
For those seeking for a smaller crowd and more privacy, I would recommend booking the Nova Five Star cruise on Thursdays as it is not as busy as on the weekends.

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!

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。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the morning cruise, although we regret that the weather was not very good and that you were unable to see the whales until the end. We hope to welcome you back again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

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。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

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 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。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope you will join us for the sunset cruise next time. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
