Oahu
I participated with four friends.
We were worried about the weather, but we were blessed with great weather and had a wonderful time!
We enjoyed burgers for lunch on the boat while listening to a lovely live performance!
We also encountered many sea turtles, and everything was amazing! (((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))
友達4人で参加しました。
お天気が心配されましたが、天気にも恵まれ素敵な時間が過ごせました!
お昼のバーガーも船上にて、素敵な弾き語りを聞きながらいただきました!!
ウミガメもたくさん出会えて、全てが最高でした(((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))
I think it is a tourist trap. We were very disaponted. We felt they were bot looking fot whales but that they allready had a route fixed
I was excited from the moment I got on the boat. The beach volleyball at the sandbar was intense, but that made the hamburgers for lunch taste even better! The snorkeling around the coral reef revealed sights I had never seen before, and I was thrilled to swim with turtles! I definitely want to go again! ((´∀`))
船に乗った時点からワクワクでした、サンドバーに着いてからのビーチバレーは激しかったですがその分お昼のハンバーガーが美味しかったです!
サンゴ礁の周りをぐるり一周するシュノーケリングでは見たことない光景が広がり、亀と一緒に泳げて感動しました!
ぜひまた行きたいです((´∀`))
It was a popular tour, so I participated with high expectations, and it truly was a wonderful experience that did not disappoint. Unfortunately, the temperature was a bit low, and it felt quite cold, but I am grateful for all the photos taken in various poses at the sandbar. We saw many sea turtles, and during snorkeling, we even saw a sea turtle sleeping with its head buried in the coral, which really impressed the kids. It was a great family outing.
人気のツアーということで、期待して参加しましたが、期待を裏切らない素晴らしいツアーでした。あいにく気温がやや低く、寒さを感じるくらいでしたが、サンドバーで色んなポーズの写真を沢山撮って頂き感謝しています。海ガメも沢山見られましたし、シュノーケリングでも、海ガメが珊瑚に頭を突っ込んで寝ているところも見られて、子供たちも感動していました。良い家族サービスができました。
Staff was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the trip. Food was good for picnic food. It was a cold and windy day. The staff had hot chocolate, tea and coffee ready for everyone. The reef was not that great for snorkeling. Bland colors and not many fish. Watched Finding Nemo one too many times.
Waikiki is clear and sunny!!
But the other side was cloudy.
It was cold...
But the sandbar was beautiful!
By the time we returned to the harbor, it was clearing up nicely, so maybe it would have been better to depart in the afternoon...
Overall, I'm satisfied!
ワイキキは快晴!!
でも裏側は曇りでした
寒かったです、、
でもサンドバーはキレイでした!
港に帰る頃きれいに晴れてきてたのでもしかしたら昼から出発のほがよかったのかな。。
でも総合的には満足です!、
Great cost performance!
Great service!
Great food !
Great entertainment!
I must say I was a little skeptical... It turned out to be fantastic. We decided to go on this dinner cruise for my wife's birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The food was great...surprising for a huge amount of people. The drinks, entertainment, the vessel, the views all spectacular. And the staff were first rate!!!! I would definitely do this again and quite frankly for the price...it is truly a bargain!!!
Thank you, sea turtle, for all the great service! Snorkeling in the wonderful location with perfect weather was so much fun. Thank you to the guide and staff.
ウミガメさん、いっぱいサービスしてくれてありがとう(^O^)最高の気候に素晴らしいロケーションでのシュノーケリングは楽しかったです。ガイドさん、スタッフさんありがとうございました。
After exploring the sandbar, I was able to swim with the honu (sea turtles). I was very satisfied to see many honu and rays.
The return boat can be cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a jacket.
サンドバー散策後はホヌさんと泳ぐ事出来ました。
ホヌ、エイ沢山見れて大満足です。
帰りの船は寒いので、上着を持って行った方がいいと思います。
It was great experience . we enjoyed celebrated our little ones first bday !! we enjoyed the food it was delicious!! a memorable experience!!!
It was a slightly windy day, but the weather was nice and the sea was very beautiful. I was moved when I stood on the sandbar, and I was completely satisfied with the endless blue sea and blue sky. The sand only appears for a limited time on certain days, and when I went, the water was about knee to waist deep, but I could still see the white sand and feel the soft sandy areas in places. The burgers for lunch were delicious, and both the captain and the crew were friendly, making it a truly enjoyable experience. I definitely want to go again.
少し風の強い日でしたが、天気は良く海がとても綺麗でした。
サンドバーに立てたときは感動しましたし、見渡す限り青い海と青い空で大満足でした。
砂が顔を出すのは本当に限られた日の限られた時間だけのため、私が行ったときは膝から腰あたりまでの深さがありましたが、それでも白い砂が見え、所々に柔らかい砂地を感じることができました。
お昼のバーガーも美味しかったですし、船長も船員さんも気さくで本当に楽しかったです。
ぜひまた行きたいと思います。
We saw no sea life at all. Not much seating and the whale guarantee was no good as it didn't cover transportation and times are very limited. Not worth the money, was told by others to take a smaller vessel next time.
I participated in January 2015.
The regulations state that you cannot approach whales within a certain distance, but I was pleasantly surprised when a whale surfaced nearby, causing the boat to back up.
On the way back, I encountered a sea turtle, which allowed me to conclude the enjoyable experience on a high note.
2015年1月に参加しました。
条例では、クジラに一定の距離以内に近づいていけいないことになっているが、
偶然近くに浮上してきたため、船がバックするハプニングがあり、逆にうれしかった。
帰りの航路では、ウミガメと遭遇し、楽しい体験を締めくくることができました。
The ocean and sandbar were very beautiful, but the wind was strong, and once I got back on the boat, I didn't feel like going back into the water. I was able to see sea turtles, and I recommend this tour. If I can come to Hawaii again next time, I would like to come on a warm day without wind.
海もサンドバーもとても綺麗でしたが、風が強く一度船に上がるとまた海に入る気にはなれませんでした。ウミガメも見ることができて、オススメのツアーです。次回またハワイに来られることができたら、風のない暖かい日にまた来たいと思います。
The history and the whole thing about pearl harbor was excellent , we were sadden that half of our tour was cancelled and there was no compensation for it .
It was the rainy season in Hawaii, but on this day, the north wind was particularly strong, and it was really cold. It would have been nice to have wetsuits available; being on an open boat while wet in that cold was quite tough.
I may have written something critical, but the sandbar was amazing, a breathtaking view that felt otherworldly. The staff were friendly, and I had a great time. I definitely want to visit again on a warm day! (*‘∀‘)
雨季のハワイでしたが、この日は特に北風が強くとにかく寒かったです。
ウエットスーツの貸し出し等あればよかったものの、あの寒さの中でふきっさらしのボートに濡れた状態で乗っているのはかなり辛いものがありました。
批判めいたことを書いてしまいましたがサンドバーは最高でした、この世のものとは思えぬ絶景です。スタッフの皆様も気さくで、楽しく過ごさせてもらいました。
是非また暖かい日に利用したいです(*‘∀‘)
I was able to see sea turtles! The sandbar was deep up to my thighs, but it was beautiful and moving. The bus ride there and back was too cold, so I recommend bringing a thick jacket.
ウミガメ見れました!サンドバーは太ももまで深さがあったのですが、綺麗で感動しました。行き帰りのバスが寒すぎたので、厚手の上着を持っていくことをオススメします。
This is my third time participating, and I had a great time! The guide was very lively, and it felt relaxed right away. I want to participate again!
今回で参加するのは3度目ですが、とても楽しめました!ガイドさんのノリもよく、すぐになごました。
また参加したいです!
Since it was a living creature, it depended on luck, but from a distance, I was able to see the spouting and the tail multiple times. I saw the body jump once and the tail slap once, which drew cheers from those on board.
I had heard that there were no explanations in Japanese, but this time there was a Japanese staff member on the boat who provided a simple explanation in Japanese following the English commentary. I was quite torn between this plan and another boat's plan, but I think choosing the Navatek was definitely the right decision. This boat seems to maneuver well, and it turns the bow towards the direction where the whales are spotted, allowing everyone on the deck at the front to see the same moment almost simultaneously.
Also, the sunlit surface of the sea was quite dazzling, so I thought it was essential to position ourselves with the sun behind us to see the whales.
Another boat was nearby, and it actually seemed closer to the whales, but given the direction of the sun, I think it would have been quite blinding. I believe it would have been challenging to keep focusing in that direction. Additionally, in a situation where we had to rush to the deck side to see the whales, it seemed difficult for all family members to witness the same sight. So, even though it was a bit pricey, I really felt it was worth it to choose the Navatek. However, I thought the pickup fee was a bit high. Since it wasn't far from Waikiki, I think it would have been fine to take a taxi if we had participated with multiple people.
生き物相手なので運しだいということでしたが、遠目ですが潮吹きや尻尾は何度も見れたし
体のジャンプが1回、尻尾を打ち付けるのが1回見られて船内から歓声があがっていました。
口コミで日本語での説明がないということでしたが、今回は日本人のスタッフが同船していて
英語の解説に続き日本語でも簡単な説明をしてくれていました。
もう一つの船のプランとかなり迷ったのですが、ナバテック号にして大正解だと思いました。
こちらの船は小回りが利くらしく、くじらが見えた方向に船首を向けてくれるので
デッキのある前方で目をこらしている客は全員ほぼ同じ瞬間を見られます。
また日のあたる海面はかなりまぶしいので、太陽を後ろにした位置どりをしてくれるのも
クジラを見る必須条件だと思いました。
もう一つの船も近くにいて、実際にはそちらの船の方がクジラから近かったように見えましたが
太陽の向きだったのでかなりまぶしかったんじゃないかと思います。
そちらの方向に目をこらし続けるのは大変だったと思います。
またクジラが見えるデッキ側へ急いで移動しなくてはならない状況では
同行した家族全員が同じ光景を見るのは難しかったように思いましたので
少し高かったけれどナバテック号にして本当によかったと思います。
ただ送迎料金が少し高いかなと思います。
ワイキキから距離は全然なかったので、複数人での参加だったら
タクシーで行っても問題なかったかなと思います。
We had a wonder time on the Star of Honolulu. The food was delicious. The entertainment was very good. The view on top of the ship for the Friday fireworks was awesome.
I visit every time I come to Hawaii, and I love it because I can enjoy the thrilling attractions each time. It's fun for the whole family, so I definitely encourage everyone to participate in this attraction.
The lockers are available for a fee; you insert money into the machine in front of the lockers and enter your PIN twice to automatically receive a locker number. You can access your locker as many times as you want by entering the PIN. I really encourage everyone to join in!
ハワイに来る度に訪れますが、毎回絶叫アトラクションを楽しめるので大好きです。 家族みんなで楽しめるので是非とも皆さんも、このアトラクションには参加をしてください。

Aloha Kiyoshi,
Thank you very much for your very nice comments.
Aloha Kiyoshi san,
Thank you very much for your very nice comments.
When we went, the wind was strong and it was really cold (laughs), but we got to see sea turtles and the sandbar was beautiful, so we had a great time! I bought a waterproof camera for snorkeling, but the visibility was lower than I expected, so I couldn't take nice photos (´・ω・`). Even with just a morning plan, we enjoyed it a lot!
私達が行ったときは、風が強くめちゃくちゃ寒かったですが(笑)ウミガメも見れたし、サンドバーも綺麗だったし楽しかったです!
シュノーケルは、防水カメラを買って挑んだものの予想より透明度が低く、綺麗な写真は撮れませんでした(´・ω・`) 午前のみのプランでも全然楽しめました!
The weather wasn't great, but overall it was just okay. If you want to go snorkeling, it's much better to go to Hanauma Bay on your own; you'll see a lot more fish and can swim at your own pace. The BBQ was just an over-the-top hamburger meal. The staff was friendly, though.
天気に恵まれなかったのもありますが、全体的に微妙。
シュノーケリングをしたいのならハナウマ・ベイに自分で行ったほうが全然魚も見れるし、自分のペースで泳げます。
BBQっていうのもoverなハンバーガー食です。
スタッフは好感持てました。
I went snorkeling to see sea turtles, but there were too many people, so I couldn't move forward very well, and before I knew it, it was time to return to the boat. What a shame.
うみがめを見るためにスノーケルだったのですが、人が多すぎたため、なかなか前に進むことができず、気づいたころにはボートに戻る時間でした。
残念。
It was great. We had endless crab and the show was perfect. It was my girlfriends first time to Hawaii so I had to make it special and this was it.
I was able to see about 10 whales! It was amazing!
Since they weren't that close, I wish I had brought binoculars.
The ocean and sky were beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly.
I opted for the lunch option, but I wanted to see the whales and stayed on the deck the whole time, plus I had a bit of seasickness, so I couldn't eat at all. Personally, I think it was fine not to have lunch included.
I had a great time!
10頭くらい見れました!感動!
そんなに近くはないので、双眼鏡を持っていけばよかったです。
海も空もきれいでダイヤモンドヘッドもきれいに見えました☆
ランチ付きにしましたがクジラを見たくてずっとデッキにいたのと、軽い船酔いで全く食べられなかったので個人的にはランチ付けなくてよかったです(^^;;
楽しかったです♪
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. It was lucky to encounter as many as 10 whales! We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the scenery as well. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
Star of Honolulu
この度は私どものクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
10頭もの鯨に遭遇できたなんてラッキーでしたね!
景色もお楽しみいただけました様で大変嬉しく思います。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
スターオブホノルル
I participated thinking there would be activities enjoyable for small children. We were able to see whales and turtles! The crew and all the other participants were from English-speaking countries, but we had no trouble enjoying ourselves.
小さい子供連れでも楽しめるアクティビティをと思って参加しました。
クジラもカメも見られました!
クルーも他の参加者もすべて英語圏の方々でしたが、支障なく楽しめました。
During my last trip to Hawaii, I saw this pool from the highway and wanted to visit, so I participated this time. When I arrived, it seemed a bit run-down. The locker fee is $13, which is on the higher side. I think meals were around $12.13, so that's pretty average. There is a small children's pool, so families might enjoy it.
前回ハワイに行った際に、高速道路からこちらのプールが見えて行きたいと思っており、今回参加しました。
到着してみるとなんだか寂れているような、、
ロッカー使用量は13$と高めです。
食事は12.13$程度だったと思うので普通ですかね。
小さい子供用プールがあるので家族連れは楽しいかもしれません。
I participated in the early morning plan with a friend. The guide was a local Japanese woman who was lively and fun. However, the water was cold, and I was surprised as soon as I got in. The sandbar was about knee-deep at its shallowest point. The sea had a beautiful gradient of blue! When I got out of the water, I was shivering from the cold (laughs), although my friend and the others around didn't seem to be as affected. On the boat, the foreign male staff and the female guide took photos and were very considerate, which made me happy. The light snack was something like a ham and cheese sandwich. It was cold, so I wished I could have something warm, but it couldn't be helped. Next time, I want to go during a warmer season at low tide!
友人と2人で早朝プランに参加しました。
ガイドさんは現地の日本人の女性でノリが良く楽しかったです。
ただ水は冷たかったです。入った瞬間びっくりでした。サンドバーは一番浅いところで膝下くらいだったと思います。海はキレイな青のグラデーションでした!
海から上がったら私は寒すぎて震えていました(笑)友人や周りの方はそこまでではなさそうでしたが…。
船の中では外人の男性スタッフや女性ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれたり色々気遣ってくれて嬉しかったです。
軽食はハムチーズサンドのようなものでした。寒かったので温かいものが食べたかったですが仕方がないですね。
今度は暖かい時期で干潮の時に行きたいです!
