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

Great!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We would definitely recommend this cruise. The food was delicious. We saw many whales and one of them even jumped out of the water. It was amazing. There is a lot of space on the ship to spread out and see the whales from many perspectives (I think it holds over 1000 people). And the crew kept us entertained with Hula lessons, lea making, and ukulele lessons. We have a toddler and there was plenty to keep her entertained and happy as well.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Great Place-needed a bit more time

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The transportation to the Cultural Center was great and the driver amazing. He was very friendly and the drive was gorgeous - including a view of the famous 'China-Man's hat'. He was helpful once we arrived as well. We had a great experience on the canoe but wished we would have had more time to actually visit the individual villages before dinner began. I felt like we missed out a lot not being able to visit the exhibits. The dinner was wonderful although we had a toddler with us and opted out a bit early to roam the grounds and get some energy out rather than finish watching the dinner show. The evening show was amazing and made the whole trip worth it. We slept on the way home and were very happy with the experience.

【冬季限定!1/3~3/21】ホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号 1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船!軽食&ドリンク付き<ワイキキ送迎可>

I saw a whale. 鯨が見えた

Reviewed by: エイトマン

We participated as a family of five on New Year's Eve. We were blessed with clear weather, and it was a fun cruise. When the captain spotted a whale, there was an announcement, and while looking in that direction, we were able to see the whale's spout and back several times, and finally, we also saw its tail, which was great. The food was quite delicious as well. However, while the adults were fine, the children took motion sickness medication, but two out of three of them got seasick. In the latter part of the cruise, they served ginger juice, which helped a bit, but I think it would have been better if it had been offered a little earlier.

大晦日家族5人で参加しました。
晴天にも恵まれ楽しいクルーズでした。
キャプテンが鯨を発見すると場内アナウンスがあり、その方向を探していると鯨の潮吹きや背中が何回か見ることができ、最後に尻尾も見えよかったです。
食事も十分おいしかったです。
ただ大人は大丈夫でしたが、子供は酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが3人中2人は船酔いしてしまいました。クルーズの後半ジンジャージュースを出してくれ少しよくなりましたが、もう少し早く出してくれるともっと良かったと思います。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Totally Worth It!

Reviewed by: Melissa S

What a great time! We went with a group of 6 for my birthday and had an amazing time. We splurged for the delux, front row seating, and were placed right next to the stage, with lei greeting, drink tickets, great table service and perfect views.
We took part in the huki lau, the games, the imu ceremony, got our pictures taken with the royalty, my husband even got me on stage to hula! The food was amazing and the show was really great.
This was the 2nd visit for my husband and I, the first for our friends and everyone agreed it was totally worth it, a great time, and we will certainly come back again and again!

シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも!?選べる8時/12時出港プラン<ハワイアンプレートランチ&アルコール4杯付き/ワイキキ送迎あり>

Peter is the best. ピーター最高

Reviewed by: ぐっち

As a result, I chose the early morning plan, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins. (It was just bad luck.)

However, I was able to interact closely with the turtles and enjoy snorkeling! Above all, Peter, the local staff member, was very fluent in Japanese, provided excellent explanations, and was wonderful in his responses. We were able to chat during the transfer, and I was very satisfied with the experience.

As a side note, during the transfer from the hotel to the site, I was able to see the high school that President Obama attended and the Hitachi tree, and the staff during the transfer were also very good.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I think I will choose this plan again.

結果としては早朝プランにしたがイルカにあることは出来なかった。(これは運が悪かった)

しかし、亀にはすぐ近くで触れ合うことができたし、
シュノーケリングを楽しむ事ができた!
なにより現地のスタッフであるピーターさんが
非常に日本語も流暢であり、説明もうまく、
対応もすばらしかった。
移動中もいろいろと話ができ、とても満足のいく内容xでした。

補足ですが、ホテルからのピックアップから現地への
移動中にオバマ氏出身高校や、日立の木を見る事ができ、
移動スタッフの対応もよかったです。

次回ハワイにいけるようでしたら、またこのプランを
選ぼうと思います。

Not only whales ホエールだけで無く

Reviewed by: haru

I didn't have high expectations for the food, but the warm drinks (self-service with free drinks) and the meals were warm and delicious. Besides seeing whales, there were activities like lei-making, ukulele classes, and hula lessons, so even if we didn't see any whales, we could still enjoy the cruising and activities. During our trip, it seemed like we encountered a mother and calf whale, and they were frequently surfacing for air. (Unfortunately, we didn't get a clear view of their heads or tails...) However, most of the explanations were in English, and sometimes the Japanese announcements were delayed or omitted. Still, the staff was cheerful and bright, shouting "Whale!" Overall, you can enjoy the cruising experience by itself.

食べ物は余り期待していなかったのですが、
温かい飲み物(セルフサービスはフリードリンク)で
食事も温かく美味しかったです。
鯨を見ることもさることながら、アクティビティとして
レイ作りやウクレレ教室・フラレッスンもあり
万が一鯨が見られなくてもクルージングとアクティビティで
楽しめるようになっていました。
私たちが参加した回は親子の鯨だったみたいで
頻回に呼吸をしていました。
(残念ながら頭や尾をはっきりくっきり観る事は無かったですが・・・・)
ただ殆どの説明が英語で日本語の案内が遅くなる事や日本語の説明が抜ける事もしばしば・・・
それでもスタッフが陽気で明るく「くじらぁ~」と叫んでくれます。
総合的にみてクルージングだけでも楽しめます。

You should definitely give it a try at least once. 一度はいっとこ

I signed up because my elementary school child wanted to. I thought I might not enjoy the thrilling activities, but I ended up having a great time on almost all of them. The meals included were also nice, and thanks to the instructor, bodyboarding was really fun and the time flew by. I thought I wouldn't be able to ride the shark, but since my child wanted to try, I gave it a shot, and it was over in no time. Overall, the weather turned out great, and it was a fun day.

小学低学年に引っ張られて、申し込みました。
ダメかもと思ってたスリリング系もほとんどのって、とても楽しみました。
食事付もよかったし、
ボディボードも、インストラクターのおかげで、とても楽しく、時間が短かく思った程です。
シャカは無理っと思ってたけど、
低学年が乗りたがって、乗ってみたら、あっという間でした。
とにかく、天気も良くなって楽しい日でした。

This time, I signed up for a plan that included transportation but no meals, just drinks. A Japanese guide came to pick us up, and we were able to get to the location smoothly. It was a bit chilly on the day due to strong winds, but we enjoyed the attractions enough. I think it's suitable for families and groups of friends.

今回は送迎付きの食事なし、飲み物のみのプランに申込ました。ピックアップは日本人のガイドの方が来てくれ、スムーズに現地まで行くことが出来ました。当日は風が強かった為少し肌寒かったです。でもアトラクションは十分楽しめました。家族連れや友達同士に向くアトラクションだと思います。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Good cultural luau

Reviewed by: Biochembelle

Transportation was convenient and our guide Trina made the trip entertaining. At the luau, they were very organized in dividing the guests into their seating areas. The crafts during free time and the staff assisting were excellent, though an hour wasn't enough time to get to all of the crafts. Dinner was very tasty, especially the kalua pork. As a previous reviewer has mentioned on this site, the drink coupons are valid only for certain drinks, but premium drinks can be purchased for an additional $3-7, depending on the drink and size. Please note it is a cash only bar. The bar was not well staffed, but the tour guides would fetch drinks for the guests, so at least we didn't have to stand in long lines. The bartenders were free with the quantities of alcohol going into the drinks. The dancing show was good, but I have seen better, particularly at the Polynesian Cultural Center. However, the PCC does not serve alcohol or caffeine. Also, this was the only time during our week stay on Oa

It was a daytime sailing on a catamaran, and it was just the right amount of time for beginners, feeling very pleasant. I think even small children can enjoy this sailing experience. On the way back to the beach, the direction changed, and just when I was wondering what was happening, we found ourselves among a pod of wild dolphins! Being surrounded by so many dolphins was amazing! I will definitely go again if I have the chance.

カタマランのデイタイムセーリングでしたが、初心者にも丁度よい時間で気持ちよかったです。小さい子でも十分に楽しめるセーリングだと思います。ビーチに帰る途中に方向が変わり、あれ?と思ったら野性のイルカの群れの中に!たくさんのイルカに囲まれて最高でした!また機会があったら乗りに行きます。

Is the whale on Christmas vacation? くじらもX'mas休暇?

Reviewed by: ぱーる

I traveled to Hawaii at the end of the year and participated in a cruise. The night before, there was a rare experience of a complete power outage across the island, which made me wonder if the cruise would still take place, but it went ahead as planned.

This time, I signed up for the standard package without transportation or lunch. Check-in was supposed to be by 11:45, but I arrived at 11:02 on the Red Line trolley while sightseeing around the city. The large Star of Honolulu was docked, so I quickly found the check-in counter.

Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any whales this time, but I enjoyed a relaxing cruise off the coast of Honolulu. Onboard, there were activities like lei-making, ukulele lessons, and hula dance classes, with people from various countries participating.

If you don't encounter any whales, they issue a reboarding ticket before you disembark. With that ticket, you can reboard during the season. I think it's best to participate without having too high expectations of seeing whales.

年末に渡ハし、参加してきました。
前日の夜に全島停電という貴重な?体験をし、クルーズは大丈夫か?と思っていましたが、決行されました。
今回は送迎なし、ランチなしのスタンダードで申し込み。
11:45までにチェックインとなっていましたが、11:02到着のトロリーのレッドラインで街中を観光しながら到着。
大きなスターオブホノルル号が泊まっているので、チェックインカウンターもすぐ発見できました。
今回は残念ながら鯨には遭遇できませんでしたが、ホノルル沖のクルーズが出来、とてものんびりとすごせました。
船内ではレイ作りやウクレレ教室、フラダンス教室などを行っており、各国の人々が参加していました。
鯨に遭遇できなかった場合、下船前に再乗船のチケットを発行してくれます。それを持っているとシーズン中に再乗船が可能になるそうです。
あまり鯨に期待をしすぎないで参加するのが良いと思いますよ。

Water Adventure Park ウォーターアドベンチャーパーク

Reviewed by: R&N

There are many attractions that you can't find in Japan, and the wave pool felt more intense than those in Japan. Even just watching the surfing area was enjoyable.

I was looking forward to the barbecue, as it's something you associate with America, but it didn't compare to the cheap all-you-can-eat options in Japan, and to be honest, it wasn't very tasty. It didn't really feel like barbecue... Maybe it would have been better to eat something else, like a hamburger from within the park!?

I had fun at the pool, so I would like to participate again.

日本にはないアトラクションが沢山あり、
波のプールも日本より激しい感じがしました。
サーフィンの出来るところも見ているだけでも楽しめました。

バーベキューはアメリカというだけ合って楽しみにしていましたが、日本の安い食べ放題より物はないし、はっきり言って美味しくありませんでした。あれはバーベキューとは言えない様な、、、。
食事は別で、園内にあるハンバーガーなどを食べたほうが良かったかも!?

プールは楽しかったのでまた参加したいと思います。
