Would suggest upgrading to mid level. Worth the service you get. The entertainment is exceptional. My eleven year old granddaughter enjoyed it as much as her Mom and Grandmother.

Participate in the activities, loads of fun.

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

March 2008

Reviewed by: Terry Gordon

Exceeded our expectations. Never a dull moment from twelve noon to the end of the show. Be sure you get a guide. The guest-participation activities were a particular treat -- spear-throwing, poi ball twirling, drums, it was all great fun. And the evening show was truly spectacular. This was well worth the money and well worth the trip to the North side of the island.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Great Fun!

Reviewed by: Gerald

I took my girl on this 3 star dinner cruise and we had a really great time. She thought watching the sunset out by diamond head was really romantic - bonus points for me! I never ate a whole lobster before and it was awesome. The show was pretty sweet too because it is a small stage and they are really close to you and they have cool costumes. Thanks for a great night!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Very Good

Reviewed by: Nancy

We went as a family. It was very good. We had a great time. Everything was very entertaining. There was enough time to go around and involve yourself in any of the different activities that you may want to without making feeling rushed or too long either where you might start thinking let's move this along. The backdrop of the ocean was breathtaking. There was a fantastic sunset which made for the best photos of a sunset over water I have ever taken.

The show during the dinner was very good and so colorful. The staff was friendly and cordial.

Only one suggestion...the drink coupons that can be used anytime. We and several people around us did not realize that you need to save one drink coupon for your meal. If you use up all your drink coupons before the meal then you have to by your drink for your meal...sodas being $3.00 each....so plan ahead if you want to use all you drink coupons before the meal. Food was very good...I especially liked the pig...it was yummy!

Star of Honolulu Cultural Cruise

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We briefly saw some whales, but did not really get close enough to get any good pictures. Food was okay. The air conditioning was on high and everyone, even the mem on board were complaining about how cold it was. It was cool and windy out on deck, but people were going out to try to warm up. It really distracted from the enjoyment of the cruise.

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

Our Whale Watching Experience3/1/08

Reviewed by: YO

The Whale watch cruise aboard the Star of Honolulu was enjoyable. We did see whales from a distance and near the boat. We also saw spinner dolphins at the beginning of the cruise.
The other activities on board besides the whale watching was entertaining. My daughter enjoyed making leis for us and herself.
The lunch that was served was delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed returning to the buffet for a second helping of the salads. My daughter enjoyed the fruits and cookies that were served. The price of drinks were a bit pricey.

I want to thank the staff who helped me cleanup after my daughter when she became seasick on the cruise. They also stopped by our table afterwards and inquired about how she was doing. Thanks for your concern. Thanks also to the passengers who helped me as well with their kleenex and kindness.

I would recommend this cruise to anyone who wants an off island excursion. It shows the island's beauty from a different viewpoint.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

I decided to participate boldly. 思い切って参加してみました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I hesitated to join because everyone else was foreign, but I wanted to experience the foreign atmosphere, so I participated. Even though I didn't understand the language, the bus ride was lively and fun. When we arrived, it was just the right time to see the beautiful sunset, and I was able to take lots of great photos. The night show was authentic. The food was a buffet, and there was plenty of it, with opportunities to go back for seconds. It can get cold outside at night, so I think it's a good idea to dress warmly. There were times when the lights were turned off to see the stars, and the night sky was incredibly beautiful.

他はみんな外人さんばかりなので参加をためらっていたのですが、外国の雰囲気を味わいたくて参加しました。言葉はわからなくてものりがよく楽しいバスの中でした。到着したらちょうど夕日がきれいに見える時間でいい写真がいっぱい撮れました。夜のショーは本格的でした。ごはんはバイキングですが、量はたっぷりあって途中でもおかわりに行けます。夜の外に長時間いると寒いのでいっぱい着込んでいくといいと思います。星を見るためか、真っ暗に照明をおとす時があったのですがとってもきれいな星空でした。

【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＞

The back of a whale くじらの背中

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was my first time going whale watching. After doing some research, I found that booking through Alan was the cheapest option. We participated in the no-lunch course, and it was the right choice! Although they say it doesn't sway much, it still rocked a bit... If you're prone to seasickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication in advance. Oh, they also provide motion sickness medication on board. Coffee, tea, and water are free!

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, and the interpreter mentioned, "It's the season, so we see whales every day," so I was hopeful... but no whales appeared, no matter how long we waited. Other guests seemed to be getting restless too. There were hula, ukulele, and lei-making classes offered, but I couldn't bring myself to participate since we hadn't seen any whales yet... (Other guests joined in and seemed to be enjoying it!) Just as we were nearing the return time, we finally saw a mother and calf whale breaching! However... they were far away... We only caught a glimpse of them a few times. I thought, "Is this really it?" But, since they are wild animals and there are regulations against getting within 100 meters, it can't be helped. My expectations were too high. Still, even from a distance, watching the mother and calf whales swimming leisurely made me feel quite happy!

I recommend bringing a light long-sleeve shirt when boarding. It can get quite cold on the water due to the strong wind.

初ホールウォッチングでした。いろいろ調べた結果、アランちゃんから申し込むのが一番安かったです。私達は昼なしコースで参加しました。そして正解でした！揺れにくい、とは言ってもやっぱり揺れました･･･。船に弱い方は、あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうが良いでしょう。あ、船内でも酔い止めをくれますよ。コーヒー、紅茶、水は無料です♪

当日は天気もよく、通訳の方が「今はシーズンなので毎日鯨を見れてます」と仰っていたので期待していたのですが。。。待てど暮らせど鯨現れず。。。ほかのお客さん達も時間を持て余しているようでした。フラ、ウクレレ、レイ教室も催されていましたが、まだ鯨を見れてないのに･･･と私は参加する気持ちになれませんでした。（ほかのお客さん達は参加していました。楽しんでいましたよ！）そして、もう帰港時間間際･･･というところでやっと親子鯨のブリーチングを見れました！ただ・・・遠い・・・。ぷしゅーっていうのと、背中チラリが何回か見れただけ。あれ？これで終わりなの？と思ってしまいました。でも、野生ですし、100Ｍ以内近づいたらいけない規制があるようで、仕方がないですね。期待が大きすぎました。でも、遠くでしたが、ゆったり泳いでいる親子くじらを見て、なんだか幸せ気分になれました♪

乗船するときは、薄手の長袖を持っていかれたほうがいいと思います。海の上って風が強く結構寒いです。

What a Great Time!

Reviewed by: Michael B

We went to the luau on Sunday 2/17 and had a wonderful time. We had a rental car so we didn't use the bus shuttle but it is a quick 45 minutes up H1 from Waikiki. We had our sons 19 and 15 and both enjoyed the activities before dinner and the show. Great music, great food...HUGE portions (we purchased the more expensive table service with front row seating which I would highly recommend as the wait staff and cocktail servers are fun and attentive), and a great luau show. When you go to the bar look for the bartender named Lizzie. She makes a superb upscale mai tai. We were seated so close during the show we could feel the heat from the flaming sword performer who was a show stopper...he is amazing. I would recommend and would go again.

Had a GREAT Time!

Reviewed by: Rubin & Bridget

The whale watching was GREAT! The whales were active and acting as if they knew we were there to see them. From reading other comments, we thought we were not going to see any whales or they would not be as active as the pictures show. But, they were definately right on time! Plus, the lunch they served on the boat was good. For the price you pay, you will get your moneys worth and certainly enjoy yourself. I would recommend this activity to anyone that enjoy whale watching, especially on a nice boat.

Rongo, our driver, was very fun and entertaining. From picking us up to dropping us off he had excellent information to share and plenty of jokes to tell. Even after most people were dropped off and we were the last ones to our hotel, he was giving us little tidbits of information on good eating and fun attractions. This is a trip everyone should see on their first visit to oahu, and the dole plantation is a must.

I was able to see much more than I expected! 予想以上にたくさん見られました！

Reviewed by: たがやっち

I arrived in Honolulu and joined the tour right away, so I was a bit concerned about my physical condition, but I was able to enjoy the experience without any seasickness.

I thought we would go quite far offshore, but to my surprise, we were able to see whales even in areas where we could still see the town! Honestly, considering the nature of the activity, I wondered if we wouldn't see as many as I expected, or if I might miss the chance to see them altogether. However, it pleasantly exceeded my expectations. We were able to see the whales spouting multiple times, and although I missed capturing the jump on camera, I was thrilled to see it up close.

I participated in a plan without meals, but if your main goal is to witness the whales, I would definitely recommend the option that includes lunch. Many encounters happened while people were eating, so having a meal included would be advantageous. It might be a good idea to either have an early meal before boarding or bring snacks like bread or sweets to nibble on once you've had your fill of whale watching. Water, coffee, and tea are available for free.

Even for those without meals, you can participate for free in activities like ukulele playing, hula dancing, and lei-making, which I think would provide a fun break and enjoyable moments.

ホノルルに到着した日にいきなり参加したので
体調面など　どうかな？と思いましたが船酔いもなく過ごせました

結構沖合まで行くのかと思いきや町並みが見渡せるような場所でも
鯨の姿を見ることが出来るなんて！
正直相手が相手ですので思ったほど見られないのでは？　とか
一度見逃したらもうこれで終わりなんてことがあるのでは？　など
疑心暗鬼もないわけではなかったのですが
いい意味で期待を裏切ってくれました
潮吹きも何度も見ることが出来ましたし
写真では撮り損ねてしまいましたがジャンプも間近で見られ感激です

今回は食事なしのプランで参加しましたが
とにかく鯨の姿を目撃することを目的として乗船するのでしたら
昼食付きの方が食事しているタイミングで
遭遇する事の方が多かったですので断然こちらの方がお薦めです
先に早めの食事を済まされてから乗るか
あるいはパンやお菓子などを持参されて
鯨を見飽きたらちょっとつまむ　というのがいいのではないでしょうか
お水とコーヒー、紅茶は無料で飲むことが出来ます

食事なしの人でも
ウクレレ、フラ、レイづくりの体験教室に無料で参加出来るので
気分転換も出来て楽しいひとときが過ごせることと思います

It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see any fish in Kailua.

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

Diving down with a shaka! シャカで急降下！

Reviewed by: June

I participated in a tour that didn't include lunch, but there was a good variety of food available at the shop, which was great. Being able to eat what I like at my own pace makes this tour more recommendable.

The most fun part was the Shaka. I ended up trying it three times. I heard the instructions from the staff: "Keep your chin down, don't let go of your hands, and lift your hips," and then I was kicked off with the float tube saying, "Let's go." I don't know the exact slope, but it felt like a steep drop while riding the tube. The first time, I forgot to keep my chin down and my neck hurt; the second time, I forgot to lift my hips and almost lost my bikini; but by the third time, I finally managed to do it as instructed.

The FlowRider was also fun, but challenging. You can only do it one at a time, so it felt a bit embarrassing with everyone watching. The wave pool was awesome too! The waves were huge and there were so many of them! Those waves felt like a storm. It was so much fun.

I was a bit scared of my swimsuit coming off, so I only tried the tube rides, but I was very satisfied. There was hardly any waiting time. If it got a little cold, I could warm up at the spa.

I think it's a place that people of all ages can enjoy. I'm glad I went.

　ランチは含まれていないツアーに参加しましたが、売店でけっこう種類豊富に食べ物があるので、すごくよかったです。好きなものを好きな時間に食べられるのでこちらのツアーのほうがお勧めかも。
　すっごい楽しかったのはシャカ。3回も挑戦してしまいました。係員の人に「アゴをひいて、手を離さないで、お尻を浮かして」という注意事項を聞き、「Let's go」と浮き輪チューブを蹴り出されます。何度くらいの斜面かわからないけれど、チューブに乗っていると落ちるっていう感じで急降下。1度目はアゴをひくのを忘れ首がいたくなり、2度目は腰を浮かすのを忘れてビキニが脱げそうになり、3度目にやっと落ち着いて言われたとおりにできました。
　ダ・フローライダーも楽しい。でも難しい。一人ずつでしかできないので、みんなが見てるからなんか恥ずかしい。あと波のプールもサイコー！波が大きくて、そして多すぎ！あの波は嵐です。楽しすぎる。
　水着が切れちゃったりするのが怖いのでチューブを使用するものしか挑戦しなかったけれど大満足でした。待ち時間も全然なかったし。ちょっと寒くなったらスパで温まれるし。
　どの年代の方も楽しめるところだと思います。行ってよかったです。
