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

Whales!!

Reviewed by: Jen

The vessel is more like a ship than a boat like it has 3-4 levels. Very organized and informational! The staff is friendly. Lots of room to walk around. They offer motion pills or some kind of ginger cocktail to prevent motion sickness. They also offered small snakes like chips. There wasn't an option for breakfast.
I went in February and and I saw about 7-10 whales( sprays, tip of their tails). I think 1 or 2 came close to the boat. I enjoyed it. My little one (5yo) was mostly running around...lol.

  • That's the boat/ship and my son!

  • WHALE!!

ホエールウォッチ マジェスティック号 横揺れが少ない最新テクノロジー採用の次世代クルーズ船<アロハタワー発/12/26~3/31>

The whales were amazing! But lunch is not included! 鯨は感動!でも昼食はついてません!

Reviewed by: バーニー

I participated in this tour with my daughter who lives in Hawaii. It is stated that lunch is included in the tour, but currently, it is not. I confirmed with the staff whether lunch was included, and they said it is available for purchase at an additional cost. Also, there was no explanation about the whales in either English or Japanese.

I didn't have high expectations for lunch based on past comments, but since lunch is not included, I feel that other tours would have been better. (It's not good to have misleading information...) The main purpose of this tour, which was to see whales, was fulfilled as we were able to see them multiple times, so that was good.

Regarding infection control measures, there was no confirmation of vaccination or presentation of negative test results. The staff wore masks, but all the passengers were not wearing masks. It's best to think that this is the current situation in Hawaii. Additionally, many tourists are coming from the mainland United States, where overseas travel has become difficult. There were a lot of people on this tour as well. I thought we were the only Japanese and Asians there.

ハワイ在住の娘と参加しました。
こちらのツアーは昼食付きと記載されていますが、現在はついていません。スタッフにもついていないんですか?と確認しましたが、昼食は有料で購入との事でした。また、クジラについての解説は英語、日本語ともにありませんでした。
過去のコメントから昼食への期待はあまりしていませんでしたが、実際に昼食がついていないのであれば、他のツアーの方が良かったなーと思いました。(嘘の記載は良くないですね...)
このツアー1番の目的である、鯨は何度も見ることができたので良かったです。
感染対策に関しては、ワクチン接種確認も陰性証明書提示もありません。スタッフはマスクをしていますが、乗客はみなノーマスクです。それが今のハワイの現状だと思った方が良いです。それと、ハワイは海外旅行ができなくなったアメリカ本土からたくさんの観光客が来ています。このツアーも大勢の方が乗船していました。日本人、アジア人は私たちだけと思いました。

Dear Barney,

Thank you very much for your recent use of our services. We are delighted to hear that you were moved by the whales.

Thank you for your feedback regarding lunch. Upon checking, I found that it was not included in the tour. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the error in the tour page description. Although you compared it with other tours and booked this one that included lunch, I deeply regret that it left you feeling disappointed on the day of the tour.

We have corrected the description you pointed out. To prevent similar inconveniences in the future, we will strive to improve our services.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
VELTRA

バーニー様

ツアーページの記載ミスにより、ご迷惑をかけして申し訳ございません。
他のツアーと比較していただいたうえで昼食が付いているこちらのツアーをご予約いただいたものの、当日は残念はお気持ちにさせてしまいましたこと深くお詫び申し上げます。
ご指摘いただきました記載につきましては、修正させていただきました。
今後同様のご迷惑をおかけしないためにも、サービスの向上に努めてまいります。

Our cruise was so much fun, the crew are incredibly fun and accommodating. They played great music, the boat was really nice, and the cruise was beautiful. I got really sea sick about halfway through and the crew was so kind and helpful when I felt ill. They had a towel and bucket ready and made sure I had plenty of water. 5 star service and fun crowd! Would go again (with Dramamine next time)

1-Hour Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tour - Waikiki Morning & Afternoon Marine Life Cruise

Lots of fish

Reviewed by: Rbj

We had a very enjoyable trip near Waikiki to view fish and turtles. Our captain and guide were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They knew where to take us to look at the animals. They provided lots of information about the fish as well as the area near which they were found. They were also very helpful with taking pictures with great backgrounds. The timing was just about right--not too long bringing on boredom in younger patrons, and not too short with no opportunities to actually see the animals in their natural habitat. It was a good experience for our entire group.

Prince Kuhio Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Freshly Prepared Dinner

Very nice sunset cruise with a meal

Reviewed by: Jo

We really enjoyed this trip! Outside of season and due to covid, the cruise was not even 50% booked. Thus, it was a very relaxing experience, where everyone could always enjoy the best view on the setting sun or Waikiki Beach. We went out for sunset and returned in the dark, so we had the skyline fo Waikiki Beach at night, which was also stunning.
You can bring your own drinks - if you like cocktails, just bring some vodka or rum and ask for a glas with juice, that would fit well. We had a bottle of pre-mixed Mai Tai from the superstore with us, which we extended with juice on board (which made it more drinkable than right out of the bottle).

we liked it, that the boat was not very big with 2 levels and everyone could sit on the top; we saw other ships, which were pretty large and we were happy to be on a smaller cruise.

Always Honest Review

This was a great experience. It was wonderful to be educated about all the ocean conservation and the coral life that is being done. Was also nice at the time, it was not too crowded - which did make this trip worth the price.

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

We were so excited!

Reviewed by: Alex

My friend and I booked the booze cruise to get a sunset vibe on the water. The vessel was as expected and the crew was good. Unfortunately, there was a huge party on board that took up all occupancy, with the exception of my friend and I. With everyone knowing one another, there was constant conversation over us and people crossing/crowding our space to get to others in their party. It would probably make best sense for large parties like that to have to reserve the entire vessel occupancy. This wouldn’t deter us from booking again, but it might be helpful in putting smaller parties at ease.

90-Minute Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail & Cocktail Cruise - Hawea Rainbow Catamaran

So much fun!!!

Reviewed by: jessica p

I've done this before when I did a solo trip and I wanted my family to experience it because it was so much fun.

We wanted to schedule a private catamaran at first but it wasn't in everyone's budget so we all bought individual tickets. Our group size was 16 people and lucky enough we were had the catamaran all to ourselves. The crew was amazing and we had such a great time. My family loved it and would definitely do again.
