We were not lucky enough to spot a whale on our first attempt, although we were graced with the company of a large pod of Spinner Dolphins swimming very close to the ship.
Two days later, having taken advantage of the free raincheck ticket, we saw four adult Humpback Whales and a calf. There are no words to adequately describe the experience - just go and do it. The Star of Honolulu is crewed by very knowledgeable staff and the onboard facilities and entertainmen are first-rate.

We participated as a family of five, with two parents and children aged 12, 10, and 8. Since it was our second time, we were somewhat familiar with the place, and the kids were looking forward to the wave pool. The scale of the waves is definitely different from Japan, and even adults can enjoy them. This time, we challenged the attraction called Shaka, which was under construction during our last visit, where you drop straight down on a tube, with my eldest son. Everyone else in the family was too scared to join, but I convinced my son by saying it was an experience you can only have in Hawaii. It was a ride that made us scream after a long time. It’s definitely a thrill that you can't experience in Japan. The short wait times for all the attractions are great. Since we only had about four hours to play there, I think a little more time would be nice. There is a jacuzzi for adults when it gets a bit cold, but there’s no way for the kids to avoid the cold, so having a warm shower or a kids' jacuzzi would be perfect. I will participate again when I go back to Hawaii.
親2人、子ども12・10・8歳の5人で参加しました。 2回目なので多少勝手知ったるところもありましたので、子ども達は波のプールを楽しみにしていました。 やっぱり日本とは波のスケールも違い、大人でも楽しめるくらいの波です。 今回は前回工事中だったシャカというチュウブに乗って真下に落ちるアトラクションに長男と挑戦しました。家族みんなに見てるだけで怖いからヤダーと断られたのですが、何とかハワイでしか体験できないよと言って、長男とチャレンジしました。 久しぶりに悲鳴をあげる乗り物でした。絶対に日本では味わえないスリルのアトラクションでしょう。 どのアトラクションも待ち時間が少ないのがいいです。 現地で遊べるのが正味4時間ぐらいなのでもう少し時間が長くてもよいのでは、と思います。 ちょっと寒いときに大人はジャクジーがあるのですが、子どもが寒い時に、回避できる方法が無いので、温かいシャワーか子供のジャクジーがあったら最高かな?? またハワイに行ったら参加します。

I went out to play with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The pickup time was around 9 AM, which was just right, and we were able to enter the park as soon as we arrived. Since the kids are small, there were height restrictions on slides and such, but they had a great time enjoying everything they were able to ride. There were slides and play equipment in the children's pool as well, and even though our meeting time to leave was at 2:45 PM, they played without eating lunch. Since drinks were free, we took about three drink breaks, but otherwise, they just kept playing.
On the bus ride back, the kids were sound asleep. We arrived at the hotel by 4 PM, so we were able to keep to our schedule, and since the kids were sleeping on the bus, we had a comfortable time! We took advantage of the kids' free campaign, so we essentially went for the price of two adults, which was a great deal! I definitely want to go again the next time we visit Hawaii.
3歳と5歳の子供と一緒に遊びに行きました。ピックアップの時間は9時位でちょうどよく、到着と共にパーク内に入場できました。
子供が小さいのでスライダーなどに身長制限がありましたが、子供達の乗れる範囲内で思いっきり楽しんでいました。子供用のプールにもスライダーや遊ぶ遊具などがあり、帰りの集合が2時45分だったのですが、お昼も食べずに遊んでいました。ドリンクフリーだったので、途中3回位のドリンクタイムはとりましたが、後は遊びまくりました。
帰りのバスの中では子供達は爆眠でした・・ホテルには4時迄に到着したのでその後の予定もこなせ、子供達はバスの中で睡眠を取っていたので快適にすごせました!
子供無料のキャンペーンを利用させていただいたので、実質大人2人分の料金で行けたのでかなりお得です!次回もハワイに行った時は是非是非行きたいと思います。

I often come to Hawaii and have been on pretty much every dinner cruise on almost every island. The Star of Honolulu is a vessel that I often frequent when I am here in the islands since it has always provided my husband and I with a wonderful evening. The Pacific Star has become our new favorite with its initimate lounge setting, quiet atmosphere, delicious Pacific Rim cuisine and a chocolate fondue-like dessert that is to tasty for words. I personally do not like the loud and rowdy hula shows, so the Pacific Star is definitely my cruise of choice!

My friends and I have experienced the beautiful Star of Honolulu dinner cruise and it was the most memorable event ever. To begin the night was a graceful performance of the hula performers who greeted us aboard. We enjoyed songs of a live band and our favorite cocktails as we were seated to our table. The interior of the boat was elegantly decorated with special lighting and table settings, perfect for setting the mood of any occasion. As the large boat cruised smoothly through the waters of Oahu, my friends and I were able to capture beautiful photos together on the observation deck. With the sea surrounding us, we watched the beautiful sunset. Our dinner was immediately brought to our table with excellent service. We had an excellent steak and all you can eat crab dinner course. Throughout the rest of our tour, we watched an entertaining act of Polynesian dancers of different cultures, like Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, and Tongan performances done by professionals with great aloha sp

I took my kids on the Star of Honolulu Hawaiian Cultural Cruise and we had a great time together and we were greeted with the warmest of Aloha. We were served our drinks as the boat departed and then the different activities began. My kids and I enjoyed making flower leis as we watched the other visitors learn how to dance the Hula. On the other end, there were ukulele lessons going on and behind us was a session of coconut leaf weaving. The crew members gathered us all together and we all went out on the deck to feed all these fishes that were swimming in large clumps near the boat.
Later, my kids and I were assisted by a very helpful server with our food at the buffet line. After we ate lunch, we enjoyed the beautiful panoramic scenery from the top deck of the Star and laid back on the lounge chairs enjoying the warmth of the sun. It was a great day and my kids loved it.

They took us to a great snorkeling spot off of Electric Beach, the captain took us to see a pod of dolphins too!
After a quick safety briefing, we headed out from Ko Olina into the cerulean waters of the Pacific with nothing but a sunny cloudless sky above us. I immediately made my way to the bow of the boat so I could have a totally unobstructed view of the western coast of Oahu and the feeling of the ocean mist as it sprayed on us felt divine!
Soon after we hit the open water, the captain informed us that a pod of Hawaiian spinner had been spotted a little ways up the coast, so before we went snorkeling, our we all got to see these dolphins in action.
Spinner dolphins are actually nocturnal creatures, so they go out into deeper waters during the evening to hunt and eat, and then they come back into the shallower coastal waters during the day to relax. It is so cute watching the babies jump and frolic as the adult spinners took it easy in the water. They came right next to

I had been to Hawaii several times before, but this was my first time signing up for Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. My children, aged 7 and 9, were thrilled and had a great time. I was concerned about the height restrictions for my 7-year-old son, but he was able to experience most of the attractions, which was great. Perhaps because it was Golden Week, there were more participants than I expected, and we were transported by a large bus. It was also reassuring that they could accommodate in Japanese.

Our favorite was the big waves at Hurricane Bay. My child and I had a blast getting swept up in the waves. It was a huge wave experience like nothing we've ever had before, and we really enjoyed it.
The slide that you ride on an inflatable ring was also incredibly fun. Especially the Waianae Coaster, which goes through the dark, made us scream naturally! You definitely have to try it at least once.
The ARAN1 service, where kids are free, was fantastic. Knowing about this service allowed us to have a fun time at a great price! We were really lucky!
It was so much fun that we didn't want to leave. My child and I are talking about wanting to go again.
We encountered some trouble when we got caught in a traffic accident on the way there, but I think they handled it appropriately by changing our return time.
Even though we faced some trouble, both my child and I want to visit again when we go to Hawaii.
私たちのお気に入りはハリケーン・ベイの大波です。子供と二人で波に飲まれて乗って大はしゃぎしました。今までに体験したことのない大波で本当に楽しかったです。
浮き輪に乗って滑るスライダーも申し分ない楽しさです。特にワイアナエ・コースターは暗闇の中を滑るので自然に絶叫してしまいました!ぜひ一度体験してみてください。
子供無料のARAN1ちゃんのサービス最高ですね。このサービスを知って今回お得に楽しく遊べました^▽^/ 本当ラッキーでした!
楽しくて帰るのが惜しかったです。また行きたいねって子供と話をしています。
行きのバスで交通事故にあうトラブルに巻き込まれましたが、帰りの時間を変更してくれたり適切な対応だったと思います。

It was great to see several whales. However, they were too far away. I had high expectations of being able to see the whole whale. Also, the boat, despite being large, swayed quite a bit. The food was delicious, but eating while swaying was a bit challenging... We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but quite a few people looked like they were feeling unwell...
クジラが何頭も見れたのはよかったです。が、遠すぎました。クジラの全体像を見れると思うと期待し過ぎです。あと、船は大きい割にはそれなりに揺れます。食事はおいしかったのですが、揺れながら食べるのはちょっと、、、私たちは酔い止めをのんでいたので平気でしたが、結構な数の人が具合悪そうでした。。。

The pools in Hawaii are simple, making them perfect for those who love to play in the water. Additionally, the Shaka and FlowRider are attractions that you probably can't experience in Japan. Even those who lack confidence can have a great time just watching, but our 9-year-old daughter tried it and was thrilled. The wave pool is incredible; it feels like the fun just goes on forever. There wasn't much waiting time, so even though the meeting time was early, we were able to fully enjoy ourselves.
ハワイのプールはシンプルなもののみなので、水遊びが大好きな人にとっては最高です。
それにシャカやフローライダーは日本ではたぶん経験できない最高のアトラクションです。

I went last week. This was my second time, but since I went by rental car last time, it was easier and smoother this time with a tour, and we arrived on time. I felt like we got a bit of a bonus because we were allowed to enter the park first. With three kids, it was great that everyone could play in different areas, with the younger one in the toddler pool and the older ones in the wave pool. Additionally, I was satisfied because the wave pool had waves with a force that you don't find in Japanese pools.
This time, one child was free for each adult, so it was more economical than using a rental car.
My eldest son's comment: The various slides and the wave pool were great.
My daughter's comment: The lazy river and the wave pool were great.
It seems like we'll be coming here every time we visit Hawaii.
先週行って来ました。今回で2回目ですが、前回はレンタカーで行ったので、今回は行き帰りが楽でしたし、時間通りでスムーズでした。今回はツアーで行ったからか最初に園内に入れたので、ちょっと得した感じです。子供3人なので、下は幼児用プール、上は波のプールで、というようにみんながいろいろな所で遊べてよかったと思います。また、波のプールでは、日本のプールにはないような勢いの波が体験できたので、満足しています。

We participated as a family of four, with two parents and two children (a third grader and a kindergartener). We were picked up by a large bus, and after arriving at the location, we had about four hours of free time. It felt a bit short. We chose a package without lunch. The kids forgot to eat lunch while playing, so I think that was the right choice. The $8 combination plate (beef, chicken, corn, rice) sold at the shop next to the entrance was very satisfying. I highly recommend it! The park isn't very large, and even though it was Sunday, it wasn't too crowded. After experiencing all the attractions, I felt like that was enough, but my younger daughter seemed very satisfied with Hurricane Bay.
親2人、子供2人(小3、年長)で参加しました。大型バスでピックアップ、現地到着後、およそ4時間ぐらいが自由時間となります。少し短い気もします。我が家は昼食無のパッケージとしました。子供たちは昼食を食べることを忘れて遊んでいたのでこれが正解だったかなと思います。売店横で売っていた$8のコンビネーションプレート(ビーフ、チキン、コーン、ライス)は大満足です。これはお勧め!園内はさほど広くはなく、日曜でしたが、そんなに混雑していませんでした。私は一通りのアトラクションを体験したら、もういいやという感想でしたが、下の娘はハリケーンベイが大満足みたいでした。

We went!! Since there were a lot of people on the bus, we went directly from the hotel. We arrived by 10 o'clock. The kids were thrilled, especially with the wave pool, where they spent most of their time playing. There are wave pools in Japan too, but the ones there had stronger waves and felt like they lasted longer. The slides were exciting because the staff would push you from behind, giving you a great speed!! The wait time was about 10 minutes, so we were able to go on multiple times. For lunch, we only had burgers, and without a break, we went back to the pool… I brought strong sunscreen, but I still got sunburned! The next day it wasn't too bad, but they still said it hurt. I regretted not having them wear T-shirts… a lesson learned… I heard there were floaties available at the pool, so we didn't bring any, but there were so many people that there weren't enough, and several kids were searching for floaties. If someone really needs one, it's better to bring your own. Just be careful, as there might not be an air pump available. Four hours flew by, and on the way back, we relaxed and slept soundly. The kids said it was the most fun they had in Hawaii. Thank you, Alan!!
Lastly, I have a request: I didn't know where the bus stop was and waited at a different location at first. There was a place where sightseeing buses were coming and going, and when I asked, that was the right spot… There were a few people who also didn't know the location, and the staff was looking for them. I would appreciate it if you could provide a map of the bus stop.
I want to go to Hawaii again. I'm already planning to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center next time. I hope to rely on you again then! Thank you!!
行って来ました!! バスも人数が多かったのでホテルから直行。10時には着きました。子供は大喜びで 特に波のプールがお気に入りで ほとんどをそこで遊んでました。日本にも波のプールはありますが 向こうのは波も強く時間も長く感じました。スライダーも お兄さんが後ろから蹴り出してくれるので スピードがついて迫力満点!! 並ぶ時間も10分前後だったので 何回ものれました。お昼はバーガーを食べただけで、休憩する間もなくまたプールへ… 強めの日焼け止めを持っていきましたがしっかり焼け! 次の日ひどくはなかったですが やっぱり痛いと言ってました。Tシャツ着せとけばよかったと後で思いました… 反省… プールには浮輪があるとのことで持っていきませんでしたが 人がたくさんで足りず 浮輪がなく探し回ってる子が何人もいました。どうしてもいるという人は持っていった方がいいですね。ただエアポンプがない?ので要注意。4時間はあっという間に過ぎて 帰りはゆったり ぐっすり寝て帰りました。子供はハワイで一番楽しかったと言ってます。ALANちゃんありがとう!!
最後におねがい ・バス乗り場がわからず最初違う場所で待ってました。観光バスが出入りしてる場所があったので聞いたらそこでした… やっぱり場所がわからなかった人が何人かて お兄さんが探してました。できればバス乗り場の地図を載せてもらえるとうれしいです。
また ハワイ行きたいです。今度はポリネシアンに行こうと今から予定してます。その時はまたお世話になろうと思ってます。よろしくねお願いしますね!!

We went as a family. The day before, our youngest had a fever of 40 degrees, and we were half resigned to not going, but thanks to seeing a doctor, the fever went down to normal, and we were able to go after all. However, I was surprised by how effective the medicine in America was. Now, getting to the main point, it goes without saying that this is the best view on Oahu. Even my grandfather, who is over 70, ended up doing the boogie board because of the incredible sense of freedom at this private beach. During the day, we took loco moco to the beach and ate together. By the way, there are several options to choose from, but the hamburger set seemed to be the best. Also, for couples, this is probably the perfect place to hide in the shade and talk about love. I also came here on my honeymoon, and I promised myself that when our family grows, I will definitely bring them here. This time, I brought my four children to Kailua.
家族全員で行きました。前日、末っ子が熱を40度も出してしまい、半分諦めていましたが、医者に掛かったお蔭で平熱まで下がり、何とか行く事が出来ました。しかしアメリカの薬の利き方には驚きました。さて本題ですが、言うまでも無くココはオアフ1番の景観です。70過ぎの家のジーちゃんまでもが、ブギボーを気付いたらやっていた位の開放感最高のプライベートビーチです。昼は、ロコモコをビーチに持っていって、みんなで食べました。ちなみに、何種類か選べますが、ハンバーガーセットが1番良いようでした。ちなみに、カップルの方は、木陰に隠れて、愛を語るには最高の場所ではないでしょうか~自分も、新婚旅行の時にも来まして、今度家族が増えたら絶対連れてくるぞと心に決めた場所でした。そして今回4人の子供をつれてのカイルアでした。

The event I was most looking forward to this time was wonderful. The weather was great, and within 20-30 minutes of boarding, we encountered a mother and baby whale. I thought we might not be able to see them clearly due to regulations that prevent us from staying in one spot for more than 30 minutes and from getting within 100 meters of the whales. However, we were fortunate enough to witness the baby whale unexpectedly approaching the boat, allowing us to see them up close. After parting from this mother and baby, we encountered whales a few more times, but we quickly lost sight of them and couldn't observe them for as long as we did at first. I now think that meeting this mother and baby was a very lucky experience. I was worried about seasickness, but I was able to enjoy the cruise without any major turbulence. Additionally, they provide medication for those who are concerned. It became a very nice memory.
今回一番楽しみにしていたイベント、お天気も良く乗船20-30分で早くもクジラの親子に出会えました。法律によりクジラの居場所がわかっても30分以上一箇所に居続けられないこと、クジラから半径100m以内に近づけないこと等あって、そんなにはっきり見れないのかなと思っていましたが、子クジラが思わず船に近寄ってくる場面に遭遇し間近で観ることができました。この親子と別れてからも何度かクジラには遭遇しましたが、すぐに見失ってしまい最初ほど長い間観察できませんでした。親子との出会いはとても幸運なことだったのかもと今は思っています。船酔いを心配してましたが特に大揺れすることなくクルージングを楽しめました。また、心配な方には薬も配布してくださいます。とてもいい思い出になりました。

You won't find a pool like this in Japan! The slides and half-pipes that drop from the height of a seven-story building are thrilling and so much fun!

I was worried about whether we would be able to see anything, but we were able to see mother and baby whales. We didn't see the big jumps like you often see in photos, but we were able to see the cute little whale swimming behind its mother.

However, it was disappointing that I didn't see any whales at all... They had various events on the boat, like ukulele lessons, hula dancing, and lei-making classes, so it kept us entertained even if we couldn't see the whales! The food was also pretty good.
But personally, I struggled with seasickness... (laughs) I didn't realize I was so weak on boats...
自分の結婚式でハワイに行き、両家親族で参加しました。ハワイは初めてでしたので
海から見るハワイ、というだけでもなかなかのもでした。
海もキレイですしねー
ただ本命の?鯨がまったく見えなかったのは残念。。。
ちゃんと見えなくてもいいように船内にはウクレレやフラダンス、レイ教室など
様々なイベントが仕込んでいて飽きさせないようになっています!
ご飯もそこそこ美味しかったです。
ただ個人的には船酔いが・・・(笑
こんなに自分が船に弱いとは知りませんでした。。。

I thought I would be able to enjoy whale watching elegantly on a luxury cruise, but I found it to be not particularly luxurious. The food was something that would suit Japanese tastes, but it was just "ordinary." As for the main attraction, the whales, I could only see a little bit of their backs far away, and I didn't get to see them splashing their tails like in the pictures. There were onboard activities like lei-making, hula classes, and ukulele classes, but since they all happened at the same time, I could only participate in one. Overall, it was disappointing. (I may have had overly high expectations...)
豪華客船で優雅にホエールウォッチングができると思い、申し込んだところ、特に豪華ではなかったかなぁと思います。食事は、日本人の口に合うものの、「普通」でした。メインのくじらは、背中が遠くの方でちょこっと見えたりするだけで、写真のように、尾ひれがザパーンとしているものは見えません。船内アクティビティは、レイ作り、フラ教室、ウクレレ教室とあるものの、3つ同時で行われるため、1つしかできません。総合的に、期待はずれでした。(期待しすぎた部分もありましたが・・・)

I went on January 13th. On the day I arrived in Hawaii, I signed up for this activity as a way to combat jet lag. I ended up rushing from the bus stop and arrived just in time!
Once on board, I was shown to my seat, and as I settled in, we set sail. The explanations were provided in both English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Even if I felt a bit tired and dazed sitting in my seat, they announced when whales were spotted, so I was able to see them. At first, they were quite far away, and we only saw spouts, which made me think it would be disappointing. However, the second sighting was a mother and calf, and we even got to see their tails. When you see that, you really feel like you've seen whales!
The meal was buffet style, but it seems you need to get your food at the beginning, as there are no additional servings later. The taste was okay, but I was able to enjoy some Hawaiian dishes as well.
On the way back, there were activities like lei making, hula, and ukulele lessons. I participated in hula and lei making, and I was surprised by how few participants there were.
There are various companies offering this plan, and I was initially concerned that this ALAN company, being cheaper, might have some drawbacks. However, that was not the case at all, which made me feel like I got a great deal!
1月13日に行ってきました。
ハワイ到着日に、時差ぼけ対策も兼ねたアクティビティーをと、こちらを申し込みました。集合時間ぎりぎりになってしまい、バス停から走りました!!
というのはさておき、乗船すると、席を案内され、そこを拠点に、船内観覧をしているうちに、出航。きちんと英語と日本語で説明してくれるので、よく分かりますし、ちょっと疲れてボーっとイスに座っていても、鯨が見えると、放送で教えてくれるので、見ることができます。始めはかなり遠くて、しかも潮吹きのみだったので、これでおしまいだと寂しいなぁと思っていたら、2頭目は親子で、しかも、テールも見れました。これが見れると鯨見た!って感じしますね。
食事は、バイキングスタイルですが、始めにとっておかないと、あとでの追加はないようです。まぁまぁなお味ですが、ハワイ料理もとれました。
帰路は、レイ作り、フラ、ウクレレレッスンのアクティビティーがあり、私は、フラとレイに参加しましたが、意外と参加者が少ないので驚きました。
様々な会社でこのプランありますし、その中で、このALANさんは格安だから、なにか差があったら??と思っていましたが、まったくそんなことなく、ということは、とってもお得な気分に浸れました。

The children's pool and the wave pool were particularly good. (Feedback from a lower elementary school boy)
The slide was fun to go down. (Feedback from a kindergarten child)
There were thrilling attractions not found in Japan, such as a ride where you slide down from a high place on a boat, making for a packed and enjoyable experience. On the slide where you go down by yourself, you end up diving into the water at the end, but it's reassuring because they help you right away.
子供用プールと波のプールが特に良かったです。(小学低学年男子の感想)
滑り台が滑れてとても楽しかったです。(幼稚園児の感想)
日本には無いスリルのあるアトラクション(ボートに乗り高い所から滑り下りるもの)等があり、盛りだくさんの内容で楽しかった。自分で滑る滑り台では、最後に水中に潜り込む様になりますが、すぐに助けてくれるので安心でした。

This time, I tried to make good use of the free kids' campaign and looked for activities. My child wasn't tall enough to try the thrilling ones, but we had a great time nonetheless. I think it's especially good for families with small children. Hawaii is fun not only for the ocean but also for the pools!
今回も子供無料キャンペーンを有効に使おうと、アクティビティーを探しました。子供の身長が足りなくて、スリルがありそうなものは挑戦できませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。特に小さいお子様連れには良いのではないでしょうか。ハワイは海だけでなくプールも楽しいですよ。
