If you want to take a break from the walking, shopping, and hotel hustle and bustle around Waikiki I suggest a sunset dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu.
The five star experience on the top deck Nova Room is a relaxing evening filled with well-made bar drinks, superior cuisine, piano and mood music, and sparkling views of coastal O'ahu.
The Nova Room experience is a step above the normal pricing for the cruise, but is a good value for all you receive.
I especially enjoyed the time to talk and relax with my wife, to enjoy the coastal scenery, and to savor the various courses of the dinner as described in the promotional materials.
The service was excellent throughout the evening and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Nova Room experience on the forth deck of the Star of Honolulu.

We participated as a couple over the age of 60. Since we were there, we decided to go to the top floor. We dressed in a way that didn't require us to touch the code. By the window, there were couples from various countries who seemed to be newlyweds, immersed in their own world, while the center seats were mostly families enjoying their meals, the scenery, and jazz. During the Memorial Day event, there was a sense of unity in celebration, but everyone enjoyed themselves at their own pace at their respective tables. Of course, we also had a leisurely and relaxed time.
The entrance to the stern was close, and it was great to see the fireworks as well as the hotel buildings on both sides. After the fireworks, when I held the door to keep it from closing like a doorman, everyone thanked me. Even a Japanese person said thank you, and we all laughed together as we realized we were fellow passengers. The food was delicious, and the portions were just right. My wife was also satisfied and very happy. Unfortunately, there was no welcome from the captain. I hope for improvement in that area. This year, I would like to try a different deck.
還暦を過ぎた夫婦2人で参加しました。折角ならと最上階へ。コードに触れない程度の服装で参加しました。窓際は新婚さんと思しき各国のカップルさんが、自分達の世界に浸り、センター席はファミリーが多く思い思いに食事、風景、ジャズを楽しんでいました。メモリアルデーイベントでは、お祝いで一体感となりましたが、各自のテーブルごとそれぞれのペースで楽しんでいました。勿論我々ものんびり、ゆったりの時間でした。
船尾への出入り口が近く、花火は勿論、ホテル群が左右に見渡せ良かったです。
花火の後、ドアマンの如くドアが閉まるのを抑えていたら、皆さんにサンキュウと言われました。日本人の方にも言われ、乗客の一人ですとお互い大笑いでした。
料理は美味しく、量も丁度良かったです。妻も満足し、大変喜んでいました。
残念ながら、船長出迎えは有りませんでした。改善を望みます。
今年は別のデッキにトライしたいと思います。

While my child was playing alone, a local child came over and played together with them a lot! Although some areas closed due to the strong wind, the slides and kids' area were well-equipped, and there were about three staff members in each area, which made me feel safe.
子どもが1人で遊んでいたら、現地の子が声をかけてくれて、たくさん一緒に遊んでくれました!
風が強くて、途中からクローズしてしまった所もありましたが、滑り台もキッズエリアも充実していて、監視員さんが1エリアに3人くらいいて安心です。

Before departing, I couldn't secure a reservation for the Aulani luau, so I found and booked this one instead, and I think it turned out to be a better choice.
We started at 5:00 PM and arrived about 10 minutes early on foot from Aulani. The seaside atmosphere was lovely, and I felt relaxed by the palm trees and the sunset view.
The activities before the show included Hawaiian tattoos (free with tips), stone bowling (free), a spear-throwing game called O'o'i (free), and a paid photo opportunity with tropical birds. After lining up for the Hawaiian tattoo, I managed to try stone bowling and O'o'i once each, just in time. After the experiences, we received shell leis for stone bowling and O'o'i. The paid photo with the tropical birds could be a nice keepsake, but since they were frequently pooping while on my arm, I personally found it a bit much.
We chose the Orchid Plan. I was torn between that and the Deluxe Plan, but since the show is quite long, it was easier for our family with kids to sit further back, making it more comfortable to step out if needed! Honestly, I felt that even the basic plan might have been sufficient.
I was careful about the Cove Card after reading everyone's comments, but I still made a mistake (laughs). It seems that the only place to use it for souvenirs is at the solidly built shop directly opposite the stage. Even with all the warnings I read, I still messed up, so I hope they can improve the clarity a bit… but since it’s not in Japan and my daughter liked the necklace, I’ll cherish the memory. For those who drink alcohol, it’s great, but for others, there’s free water and coffee available besides the welcome drink, so it might be better to check in advance whether the Cove Card can be used.
Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was delicious.
Overall, the plan was packed with experiences, and we had a great time. Thank you!
出発前に既にアウラニのルアウが取れず、こちらを見付けて予約しましたが結果こちらの方が良かったと思います。
17:00スタートでアウラニから徒歩で10分前に到着しました。海辺で雰囲気が良く、椰子の木と夕陽の景色に癒されました。
この日のショー前のアクティビティ?は、ハワイアン・タトゥ(無料/チップあり)、ストーン・ボーリング(無料)、槍投げのようなオ・オイ(無料)、南国の鳥?との写真撮影(有料)でした。ハワイアン・タトゥの列に並んでから、ストーン・ボーリングとオ・オイを1回ずつ体験して時間ギリギリでした。ストーン・ボーリングとオ・オイは体験後に貝殻レイ?が貰えます。有料の南国の鳥との撮影は記念にはなるかと思いますが、腕に居る間にかなり頻繁に糞をしていたので、個人的には無理でした。
プランはオーキッドプランにしました。デラックスプランと迷いましたが、ショーがかなり長いので子供の居る我が家は前方ではない方が席を外し易く気が楽でした!むしろ基本プランでも良かったかな?という感じです。
みなさんの書き込みを見て気を付けていたコーブカード…それでも失敗しました(笑)お土産で使えるのはステージとちょうど反対側にあるしっかりとした建物内にあるお土産屋さんのみな気がします。これだけ書き込みを見て気を付けて行った私でさえ失敗してしまうので、もう少し分かり易く改善して欲しいな…と思いますが、日本ではないのですし、娘も気に入ったネックレスだったので良い想い出にします。お酒を飲む方は良いのですが、そうではない方にはウェルカムドリンク以外にもフリーでお水はコーヒーがあるので、コーブカードが使えるかを先に確認して選ばれた方が良いかもしれません。
お食事は正直期待していなかったのですが、美味しかったです。
体験も含めて盛り沢山のプラン、とても楽しかったです。有り難うございました!

I decided to go whale watching at my father's request. After comparing several tours, I chose this one. The whale watching tours offer small, medium, and large boats, and I opted for the large boat this time due to concerns about seasickness. I wondered if I would get seasick, but I didn't at all. I was worried because the guide only spoke English, but even I, who don't understand English at all, was able to enjoy it! There were many whales, and I was moved to see more than I had imagined. The boat has four levels, and I enjoyed the different views from each floor. I also appreciated the shuttle service to the boat.
父の希望でホエールウォッチングに行くことに。
何個かのツアーと比較して、こちらに決定。
ホエールウォッチングのツアーには小型船、中型船、大型船とあり、こちらは大型船のツアー。
今回は船酔いを心配して大型にしました。
船酔いするかな?と思ったけど、全然そんなことありませんでした。
ガイドは英語のみなので心配しましたが、英語をまったく理解出来ない私でも楽しめました!
クジラもたくさん来ていて、想像以上にたくさんのクジラを見ることが出来て感動。
こちらの船は1階から4階まであって、それぞれの階で見たのですが、見え方が違ってそれも楽しめました。
船までの送迎があるのもありがたかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your father. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe many whales during your long-awaited whale watching experience. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお父様とお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。 念願のホエールウォッチだったとゆうことで、今回沢山のクジラをご観測頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

First of all, for those going in March, it can get really cold when the wind blows, so I definitely recommend bringing hotel towels. As someone from a competitive swimming background, I regret only bringing a chamois (laughs).
Also, lunch consists of really basic options like a single slice of pizza or a hot dog, which might not be enough for adults. However, you're only allowed to bring one unopened bottle of water into the park, so there's not much you can do about that. You don't have to rent a cabana since there are free shaded chair areas available, so I think it's fine to skip that option. But if you're not going right when the park opens, it might be safer to rent one. Most of these tours include transportation and usually arrive before the park opens, so you can generally secure a spot anyway, so I guess there's not much to worry about (laughs).
Also, not all attractions are open, so be aware of that. Flip-flops are recommended over water shoes. (However, since you'll be going barefoot on the attractions, if you're worried about walking on hot surfaces, aqua shoes are a good idea.)
Additionally, each attraction has height restrictions, and usually, they don't measure you, but sometimes there are staff members (those in polo shirts, beige shorts, and holding walkie-talkies) at the attractions who will measure your height very strictly, and if you're even a little short, they'll make you get off (laughs). When I went with my first-grade daughter, the first time we rode was with a part-time worker who didn't measure her height at all, but the second time, we were caught by that staff member who said she was a bit too short and made her get off. Even when I explained it was our second time, it didn't help.
There is a small pool for little kids, but even though it says "Not Ice," it's still pretty cold (laughs). There’s also a mini water slide, but you basically have to go down alone, so for kids who can't slide by themselves, it might just be cold for them. The prices are not cheap either, so I probably wouldn't go again. There are coin lockers available for free access, but they cost between $15 and $20, and there are showers, but they only have cold water. You might as well think that there are no hot showers anywhere in Hawaii. Given that, I think the pool might be a bit harsh for small children.
まず、3月に行く方は風が吹くとめちゃ寒いため、必ずホテルのタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。競泳出身者なので、セームのみ持っていったことに後悔(笑)
また、昼食は本当に簡易的なピザ1ピースかホットドッグのため、大人は物足りないかも。ただ、園内への持ち込みは、未開封の水1本なので仕方ないかな。ガバナは借りなくても無料の日陰付きのチェアエリアに行けるので選択しなくても良いと思います。ただ、オープンと同時に行く人で無いなら借りておいた方が無難。でも、大抵こういったツアーは送迎付きでオープン前には現地についているので、大抵は場所取り出来るのでやっぱり心配ないかな(笑)また、アトラクションは全てやっているわけではないので注意。マリンシューズよりもビーサンの方がおすすめ。(でも、裸足でアトラクションには乗るので、歩く場所が裸足で暑くて心配な方はアクアシューズがおすすめ。)
あとは、それぞれのアトラクションには身長制限があって、大抵は測られないで行けるんだけど、たまに本部の人?(ポロシャツ着て、ベージュの短パン履いてトランシーバー持っている人)がアトラクションに居ると、めっちゃしっかり身長測られて少しでも足りないと容赦なく降ろされます(笑)小1娘と乗ったときも、一回目はバイトのお兄ちゃんだったからか何も身長測られずすんなり乗れたのに、2回目はその人に捕まって少し身長が足りないからと降ろされた。2回目だと言うことを伝えても無理でした。
後は、小さい子には小さい子用のプールがあるけど、「Not Ice」って書いてあるけど普通に寒い(笑)また、ミニウォータースライダーがあるけど、基本的には1人で滑らないといけないから、逆に1人で滑れない子はただただ寒いだけかも。値段も決して安くないし、2回目はないかな。コインロッカーはあって出し入れ自由だけど15ドル~20ドルが必要なのと、シャワーはあるけど水のみです。むしろ、ハワイで温水シャワーなんてどこも無いと思った方が良いかも。そうなると、やはり小さい子には酷なプールかなと思います。

I printed the voucher and headed to the reception desk, where the check-in process went smoothly without any issues. At the desk, I installed the QR code for the Japanese guide, and I was informed about the start time of the Japanese guided tour and where to wait. Although all the information was provided in English, it was explained in a way that was easy to understand, even for someone like me who struggles with English.
The Japanese guide was supposed to last 30 minutes, but it ended up being 45 minutes, allowing me to learn about Hawaii's history in an easy-to-understand manner. The exhibits were wonderful and very impressive. In particular, the decorations on the capes and hats used bird feathers, and it was interesting to learn that these birds are already extinct.
I believe the prices from Veltra were probably discounted advance purchase rates, which were much cheaper than the regular prices, and that was a great help. If you're interested in Hawaii's history, I definitely recommend visiting.
バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。
日本語での案内は30分間とありましたが、45分間案内されハワイの歴史などわかりやすく勉強することができました。
展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。

We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...
Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.
Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!
I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!
親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。

ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。

ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う?」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。
あとは船酔い!
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね!
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです!
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。
最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び!

The umbrellas near the changing room are free, and they provide good shade, so I recommend them. There are paid ones further in, but they let in sunlight, and the restrooms are quite a distance away, so the free ones are more than enough!
The attractions are not too scary, and even elementary school kids can enjoy them. The area is not as large as I expected, making it easy to navigate. It was not crowded, so we were able to ride multiple times, and the kids seemed to be having a great time going around in groups.
更衣室付近のパラソルは無料で日差しも入って来なかったしオススメ。奥に有料もあるが日差しも入ってくるしトイレも色々と距離があったし、無料で十分!
アトラクションはどれも怖すぎず、小学生でもいける。
思っていたより広くなく、回りやすい。
空いてるいたので何度も乗ることができ、子どもたちはグループで回っている子が多く楽しそうだった。

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

We went to the venue with a funny and hospitable bus guide. The venue is located by the sea and has a beautiful view. The welcome drink was delicious, and we enjoyed various events before the show, such as hula lessons and a tree climbing show. The buffet dinner was also tasty. The show on the main stage featured various dances from the Polynesian region, and we had a great time. It can get a bit chilly at night, so I think having a light jacket would be good. There is no guidance in Japanese at all, but I think you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand English. My companion, who doesn't speak any English, also had a great time.

The weather was windy and the sea was cold, which was disappointing, but overall it was a good day.
It's a free plan where you can set your own schedule. I think it's a good idea to think about the places you want to visit in advance.
We first rented bicycles and snorkeling gear, and then headed to Lanikai Beach. It took about 10 minutes by bike.
They also told us the best spots for snorkeling, and we quickly jumped into the water. We borrowed life jackets, so even though it was windy, we were able to float and see underwater. I was surprised to see so many different kinds of fish swimming in the shallow water—I didn't expect to see that much! It was cold, so we got out quickly, but I want to try again on a hot day.
For lunch, we had the pizza included in the plan. It was very large and satisfying.
In the afternoon, we went to Kailua Town, but since I hadn't done much research on the shops and didn't have many places I wanted to visit, we just wandered around and ended up not doing much.
If the weather had been better, I would have loved to enjoy the sea more...
I want to try again.

I was able to see not only dolphins and sea turtles but also whales up close, which was a valuable experience. The crew members were all very friendly, and I truly had a great time.
When the sun was blocked by clouds, it felt quite chilly, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a light jacket. Also, since the boat swayed quite a bit, I recommend being well-prepared with motion sickness remedies to enjoy the experience fully.
イルカやウミガメの他に、クジラも生で見ることが出来て、貴重な経験が出来ました。
クルーの方々も気さくな方ばかりで、本当に楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
雲で陽が遮られると結構肌寒く感じたので、羽織物を準備しておいたほうがいいと思います。
また船の揺れが結構大きいので酔い止め対策はしっかりと準備したほうが楽しめると思います。

Joined morning whale watching cruise by Star of Honolulu. The cruise started from detailed explanation of naturist, and my sons enjoyed listening to the facts about humpback whales before actually seeing it afterwards.
We saw the whale right after departing the port and captain maneuver the ship very well so that we could chase and see the whale several times. Unfortunately the whale was not so entertaining this time and we couldn’t see live actions like tail slap or bleaching.
Still we’ve enjoyed the whale watching including the hospitality of the clue.
Good to know they will give another chance for free if you cannot see whale during the cruise.
Great experience for winter Hawaii visit!

It was a comfortable cruise, possibly due to the large ship, as my wife, who easily gets seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, didn't feel any nausea at all. There were times when I could feel the ship swaying up and down, but we were so engrossed in searching for whale spouts that it was completely fine. For those who are anxious, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding. During our whale search, although they were far away, we were able to see the spouts, dorsal fins, and parts of the bodies multiple times, which was very satisfying. It was impressive to see them seemingly jump as well. The captain and the female tour guide had such warm personalities that it felt great from the morning greeting. The peppermint rain we received when we got off was so delicious that I wish they would sell it. It was such a fulfilling experience that I even thought about going again the next day. From my husband's perspective, the power of the planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport was incredible, allowing us to enjoy both at once, which was the best. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.
まずは酔い止めを飲んでも酔いやすい妻がまったく船酔いしなかったくらい、大型船というのもあったのか快適なクルーズでした。時には上下に揺れてるなという感覚はあるけどクジラの潮吹き探しに夢中になり全然大丈夫だったとのことです。不安な方は酔い止めを飲んでから乗った方がもちろん良いと思います。そのクジラ探しでは遠くではあったものの何度も潮吹きからの尾ビレや一部のボディも見れて大満足でした。ジャンプまでしたように見えたのが印象的でした。キャプテンも添乗員の女性の方も人柄が滲み出ていて朝の挨拶から気持ちよかったです。降りる時にいただいたハッカの雨がとても美味しくて販売して欲しいなとなってます。めちゃくちゃ充実していたので次の日も行こうと思ったくらいです。夫の私的には近くの飛行場から離着陸する飛行機の迫力も凄まじく一度に二つ楽しめて最高でした。次回ハワイに来た時も必ず行かせていただきます。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. It was truly wonderful to see the spouts multiple times. We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

I participated with my 15-year-old and 12-year-old children. I was really looking forward to it and even changed our schedule after checking the business hours, but we were told that Kimo's was closed. We were directed to a nearby pancake place, but we had to go there on our own. Some lunch spots were also closed, and for lunch, we had to go and pick it up ourselves. Unfortunately, the pizza was just average. Other than the round-trip shuttle, we had to handle everything ourselves. Since the option for Kimo's was no longer available, we rented bikes, but riding right next to cars with rude drivers was particularly dangerous, especially with the kids.
15歳と12歳の子供と参加しました。一番楽しみにして、営業時間を確認して日程を変更したのにキモズが休みと言われ、近くのパンケーキを案内されたものの、各自で行ってくださいとのこと。ランチも空いてない店があり、そして、そのランチも各自で行ってピックアップということ。ピザも残念ながら普通。
往復シャトル以外は全て自分たちでどうぞということです。
オプションのキモズが無しになったのでレンタルバイクしましたが、車が走ってる真横、マナーのないドライバーの横を走るのは、特に子供とは危険でした。
Dear Pearl,
Thank you for visiting us and for your valuable feedback. Allow me to explain a few things.
Boots and Kimo's has unexpectedly changed its regular closing days to include Wednesdays starting in March, and we are very disappointed about this as well. Additionally, we received notice from one of the lunch spots that it would be closed on the day of your visit, which was sudden. The pizza is quite popular among visitors from Japan as it differs from Japanese pizza, but for those living in America, it may feel quite ordinary. We wish we could offer a wider variety of lunch options, but currently, these are the only nearby establishments available.
Regarding the beach tour, we aim to provide a flexible experience where you can enjoy activities and meals at your preferred times, so I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
As for the bicycles, while Kailua has well-established bike lanes, it seems that you had a frightening experience due to cars in areas outside of those lanes. I'm glad to hear you were not injured.
Thank you again for taking the time to write a review. We will take your feedback into consideration and strive to improve our tours where possible.
Thank you.

ご来店及び貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。少し説明させて頂きます。
ブーツアンドキモズは3月より火曜日に加え水曜日も突然定休日になってしまい、私共もとても残念に思っております。また、ランチの一店舗が閉まっていた件も当日の朝、レストランより連絡があり、突然の事でした。ピザは日本からお越しの方には日本のピザとは違うということで、とても人気のピザですが、アメリカ在住の方々には普通に感じられますよね。もう少し違うランチが用意出来れば良いのですが、今現在は当店より近いこれらのお店のみになります。ビーチツアーでは、好きな時間に好きな遊びをし、好きな時間に好きな物を食べるというツアーにしておりますので、ご不便をおかけしたかと思います。申し訳ございません。
また、自転車ですが、カイルアは自転車レーンがかなり完備されてるかと思いますが、自転車レーン以外の場所はマナーのない方々の車で怖い思いをされたようですね。お怪我等されなくてよかったです。
この度は、レビューのご記入ありがとうございました。ご意見参考にさせて頂き、私共で出来ることがあればツアーをよりよく変えていきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Since it was a tour just for transportation, I participated in a tour without Japanese language support. There were no issues as a result. I was able to return around noon, so I had a meaningful day!

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.
On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.
The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

Although it was from a distance, I was really satisfied to see a whale for the first time.
There were several whale watching boats, but I think it was a good choice to select the Star of Honolulu, as the smaller boats tend to sway quite a bit.
遠目ではありましたが初めてクジラを見れてすごく満足でした
数隻ホエールウォッチングの船がありましたが小さい船は結構揺れるのでスターオブホノルル号を選択して良かったと思いました。
