I encountered many whales and even saw a few dolphins, making it a very satisfying tour. When whales or dolphins appear, the staff will guide you on their direction, so I think it's hard to miss them. However, there is only one restroom available, so it's best to take care of that before boarding for peace of mind. Since it's a morning tour, it's also nice that you can schedule activities for the afternoon. (The departure point is near Aloha Tower, so exploring after disembarking is a good idea.)
沢山のクジラと出会えました。また、少しですがイルカも見れて大満足のツアーでした。クジラやイルカが現れた時にはスタッフの方が方角を教えてくれるので、見逃すことも少ないと思います。
ただ、トイレが1箇所しか無いので、乗船前に済ませておいた方が安心です。
午前中のツアーなので、昼からも予定が入れられるのも良いと思います。(発着場所が、アロハタワーの近くですので、下船後に探索するのもいいと思います。)

There were also interesting local English jokes, and with explanations in Japanese, I felt comfortable participating. Before arriving at the sandbar, I was able to see turtles, and I encountered them several times during the activity. It was a bit challenging for my first time on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) due to the wind, but the guide was helpful and showed us safe spots. There were plenty of snacks and drinks, and the coffee was delicious.
Bringing a towel and a change of clothes is essential. You won't have too much, so be prepared for when you come out of the water.
ローカルで面白い英語ジョークもありますが、日本語の説明もあり、安心して参加できました。サンドバーに着く前に亀も見れたし、アクティビティ中にも何度も遭遇できました。風が少しあったので初めてのSUPは大変でしたがガイドもしてくれるし、安全な場所を教えてくれました。スナックやドリンクも豊富でコーヒーが美味しかったです。
タオルと着替えは必須です。多くて困ることはないので海から上がった時の備えをしてくださいね。

My first whale watching experience!
I happened to visit Hawaii during the season when whales can be seen, so I thought it was a rare opportunity and joined a tour.
About 20-30 minutes after boarding, we were able to see whales right away! The view is great from the upper deck, but since it's a bit far away, I recommend watching from the lower deck for a closer look. While we couldn't get extremely close, I was very moved to see a whale in person for the first time! The sea breeze was pleasant, and the whole experience of being on the boat was enjoyable.
初のホエールウォッチング!
たまたま鯨を見れる時期にハワイを訪れたので、なかなかない機会だと思いツアーに参加しました。
乗船してから20-30分ぐらいですぐに鯨を見ることができました!上の階だと見晴らしは良いですが、少し距離があるので、下の階でより近くで見るのがおすすめです。かなり近い距離とはいきませんが、生の鯨を初めて見られてとても感動しました!潮風も気持ちよく、乗船自体も楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise for your first whale watching experience. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed observing the whales. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything since I participated in late March, but shortly after we set sail, a whale appeared! It spouted water and I was able to see its tail as well. However, it was a small whale and it was just a brief moment.
After that, there were a couple of brief appearances of small whales in the first half, but they were really just for an instant. In the second half, we didn't see anything at all, which left a feeling of disappointment.
Still, I’m glad I got to see a whale, even if just once in my life. If you imagine a big whale spouting water or slapping its large tail on the surface of the sea, you might end up feeling like, "Is that all there is?"
3月下旬に参加のため、見られるのか心配していたものの、出航して間もなく、くじらが現れてくれました。潮を吹いて、尾っぽも見ることが出来ました。しかし、小さなクジラで一瞬の出来事でした。
その後、前半に2回くらい小さなクジラが一瞬現れてくれたものの、本当に一瞬でした。後半は全く見られず、尻すぼみ感がありました。
それでも、一生に一度でもクジラを見られて良かったです。
大きな鯨が現れて潮を吹いてくれるとか、大きな尻尾を海水面に叩きつけるとか想像を膨らませて参加すると、そんなもんか〜という感想になるかもしれません。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching. We hope to see you again. It would be great if you could see them up close next time. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

I participated in early March.
I had a great time on a cruise overlooking the coast of Hawaii.
Since you never know where the whales will appear, we only saw them for a moment, but we were able to see a whale's tail and it spouting water. The captain worked hard to adjust the boat's position so we could see the whales.
The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking, but I think it would be reassuring to take motion sickness medication. Also, it was windy and cold on the water, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket. It was chilly in short sleeves.
3月上旬に参加しました。
ハワイの沿岸部を眺めるクルーズで楽しく過ごすことができました。
クジラはどこに出るかわからないので、見えたのは一瞬でしたが、私達はクジラのしっぽと潮吹きしているところを見ることができました。船長ががんばってクジラが見えるように船の位置を調整してくれていました。
船は大きいので、そこまで揺れが強いとは感じませんでしたが、酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心かなと思います。また、海の上は風が強く寒いので、長袖の上着を持っていくのがおすすめです。半袖だと寒かったです。

My experience with the whale watching activity was truly unforgettable. From the moment we boarded the boat, the anticipation and excitement were palpable. The crew was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about marine life, which enhanced the overall experience.
As we ventured into the open waters, the captain skillfully navigated us to prime whale sighting spots. The vastness of the ocean combined with the breathtaking scenery created a serene atmosphere, perfect for observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
Witnessing the sheer size and grace of the whales as they surfaced and dove back into the depths left me in awe. It was mesmerizing to see them glide effortlessly through the water, showcasing their majestic beauty.

I visited the sandbar for the first time. Unfortunately, due to the tide conditions, the sandbar wasn't visible, but the guide did a great job of keeping the atmosphere lively, so I had a fun time. When asked if I would want to go again, I can't give an immediate answer (laughs), but I think it's worth experiencing at least once as a travel memory. 😊
初めてサンドバーに行きました。あいにく潮の干満加減でサンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、案内のガイドさんが上手に盛り上げてくれたので楽しい時間を過ごせました。また行きたいか?と聞かれると即答はできませんが(笑)旅の思い出としては一度はいいのではないかと思います(^^)

I have been to Hawaii many times, and this was my second time seeing whales, but my eldest daughter had never had the opportunity, so we decided to participate this time. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much since I didn't see many last time, but perhaps the location was good, as a mother and her three calves appeared alongside the boat.
ハワイは何度も来ていて私はクジラは2度目でしたが長女は機会がなかったので今回参加する事にしました。前回余り見れなかったので正直期待していませんでしたがポイントが良かったのか3頭の親子が船と並走するように現れてくれました。

The pickup location was at the Hokulani, but we paid a total of $4 for two people to change it to the Sheraton. At the pickup location, we were given a sticker indicating our participation in the plan. (Photo 1) The driver who came to pick us up was the only person who spoke Japanese and provided various explanations. When we arrived at the pier, there was usually a welcome dance by both men and women, but due to the weather that day, they were not dancing and greeted us with umbrellas instead. Following the staff's guidance, we took the elevator (Photo 2) to the fourth floor. We were shown to our table, where a bottle of champagne was already prepared and poured for us. (We hadn't ordered the champagne, but it seems it was included in the course?) Just as I thought it would be impossible to finish a whole bottle, they collected it after I poured my second glass. It turned out to be a mistake; I got tipsy after just two glasses of champagne.
Since it was our 40th wedding anniversary, we chose a live show with a buffet/course dinner included / a luxurious 5-course meal (with prime tenderloin), and opted for a guaranteed window seat or private seating + a commemorative photo.
From the beginning, a set of snacks was prepared in the center of the table. There were many varieties, and they were delicious. (Photos 3, 4) Each table had a rough outline of the tour and drinks written in both English and Japanese. (Photos 5, 6) For non-alcoholic drinks, I should have asked for a virgin. The non-alcoholic drinks came with a plumeria flower.
The 5-star experience, while not having a washlet compared to the 3-star, had very clean and nice restrooms. When I handed over the card I received during my last 3-star cruise, I was given a keychain. (Photo 7) During the meal, there was a greeting from the captain (female) and interactions from the crew. During breaks in the meal, most people went outside the ship to take commemorative photos.
Before docking, the 5-star experience was lively with jazz and singing. The 3-star became chaotic before docking, involving all the guests. The 5-course allowed us to sit calmly and just listen to the jazz, which I personally preferred for its relaxed adult atmosphere. They provided napkins, but the 3-course required us to break and eat a whole lobster with our hands and tools, which left our hands smelling and dirty. The lobster in the 5-course was split in half, making it easy to eat with a knife and fork.
Two drinks were included, with the drinks shown in the photos: blue Hawaii on the right and strawberry daiquiri on the left (Photo 8), lemon-lime on the right and lava flow on the left (Photo 9).
The atmosphere was calm with jazz (Photo 10), and in the end, we won for being the couple with the longest anniversary at 40 years. There was a dance for the anniversary couples. The last coffee was served black, without milk or sugar, which was bitter for me, perhaps due to the lack of time.
Having taken the Star of Honolulu multiple times, I didn't need the printed photos as they were bulky and unnecessary. After negotiating, I requested the photos in digital format. In addition to the celebration plan, I directly called a Hawaiian company, and for $20, I received two photos on a USB memory stick instead of via the internet. The capacity was 1GB (with 959MB usable), containing the two photos.
ピックアップ場所は宿泊先がホクラニだったが2人で合計4$払ってシェラトンに変更してもらった。ピックアップ場所で係より参加のプランを示すシールを渡された。(写真1)迎えに来たドライバーは日本語が話せる唯一の人で、いろいろ説明してくれた。桟橋に着くといつもは男女の踊りでお迎えだったが、この日は天気のせいか踊っていなかった、傘をさしてのお出迎えだった。係の案内で4階までエレベーター(写真2)で移動することになっていた。係の案内でテーブル席に案内され、準備してあったボトルのシャンパンを注いでくれた。(シャンパンは頼んでいないはずだったが、コースについていたらしい?)ボトル1本飲むのは無理と思いながら2杯目ついだところで、ボトルが回収された。やはり間違いだったらしい、シャンパン2杯でよっぱらってきた)。
結婚40周年なので、ライブショーと選べるビュッフェ/コースディナー付き / 豪華5スター(プライムテンダーロイン付き5コース)、オプションで窓際席またはプライベート席確約+記念写真を選択した。
席には最初から中央におつまみセットが準備されていた。種類が沢山あり美味しかった。(写真3、4)
各テーブルにツアーの大まかな流れ、飲み物等を英語と日本語で書いた物が置いてあった。(写真5,6)アルコール抜きはバージンと頼べばよかった。アルコール抜きにはプリメリアの花が添えてあった。
5スターは3スターに比べればウオシュレットではなかったがトイレも大変きれいで良かった。昨年3スター乗船時くれたカードを渡したら、キーホルダーがもらえた。(写真7)食事中にはキャプテン(女性)の挨拶も、クルーの話しかけもあった。食事の空き時間にほとんどの人は、船外に出て記念写真を撮っていた、
寄港前5スターはジャズと歌で盛り上がる。3スターは寄港前から大騒ぎになり全てのお客が巻き込まれてしまう。5コースは、落ち着いて座ったままで、ジャズを聞いていればいいので私は個人的には落ち着いた大人の雰囲気の5コースが気に入った。おしぼりはくれるけど3コースは丸ごとロブスター1匹を手と道具で割って食べるので、手に匂いがつくし汚れる。5コースのロブスターは半身に割ってあるのでナイフとフオークで楽々食べることが出来た。
ドリンクは2杯付、ドリンクの写真右ブルーハワイと左ストロベリーダイリキ(写真8)、右レモンライムと左ラバフロー(写真9)
ジャズで落ち着いた雰囲気(写真10)、最後は結婚記念日の長さで40年の私達が優勝。記念日のカップルのダンス。最後のコーヒーは時間がなかったせいか、ミルク砂糖なしのブラックで私には苦かった。
何度もスターオブホノルルに乗船しているので利用できない印刷した写真は持って帰るのにかさばるし沢山あっていらない、写真をデータで欲しいと交渉してもらった結果。セレブレーションプランに加え、私が直接ハワイの会社に電話して20$かかったデータでの写真(2枚)の渡しは、インターネットでの送付ではなく当日USBメモリでもらえた。容量は1G(使えるのは959MB)の中に2枚の写真が入っていた。

I participated in the morning session on March 8. There were designated meeting points at nearby hotels, and we took a bus to the port. Most participants were Japanese, and the staff didn't seem to speak Japanese particularly well. There were plenty of Japanese signs and information, so I didn't have much trouble.
As for the whales, we could see their tails and spouts from a distance, but it wasn't satisfying. Also, it was quite windy and cold on the boat, so I felt that a jacket was necessary rather than just a light layer. I wouldn't recommend wearing shorts either.
It seems that this is the tail end of the whale-watching season, so I guess it's understandable that we couldn't see them well, which is my impression after returning.
3/8の午前中の回で参加しました。
近隣のホテルごとに集合場所が設けられ、バスに乗って港まで行きます。

案内の表示などでは日本語も多くて困ることは少なかったです。
肝心のクジラはというと、少し離れた場所で尻尾が見えたり、潮吹きが見えたりといった感じで満足とは言えないくらいでした。
また、船上は風が強くて寒いので、羽織るもの程度ではなく上着が必要かなと感じました。短パンもお勧めできません。

On the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset cruise. During the pickup, participants receive a sticker to place on their chest and two drink vouchers each. The sticker indicates the floor number of the boat and the table number.
Once on board, we go to get salads and cheese from the buffet. After a while, the boat starts moving, and the course meal and music begin.
According to prior information, casual attire like aloha shirts was suggested, but a Black couple three tables away was dressed formally, which was a bit surprising. The man, sitting with the woman facing away from the sea, told her how beautiful the sunset was and stood up to turn her around to see it. Then, he knelt down, took out a ring, and proposed.
A proposal during a sunset cruise with a beautiful sunset is just wonderful. There was a big round of applause and cheers from the surrounding guests.
As the sun set and the meal came to an end, we began our journey back. In the end, we danced to music like "YMCA," and the venue became one in excitement.
A note of caution: When the boat docks, there is an announcement for the shuttle bus, but they only mention the bus number without providing the hotel name or destination. I later found out that the top number on the sticker given during pickup was the bus number.
ハワイに到着した日に、サンセットクルーズに参加しました。
ピックアップの際、参加者は胸などに貼るシールと一人2杯のドリンク券を渡されます。シールには、船のフロアの階数とテーブルナンバーなどが記されています。
乗船すると、ブッフェタイプでサラダやチーズを取りに行きます。そして、しばらくすると、船が動き出し、コース料理と音楽が始まります。
事前の情報では、アロハシャツなどラフな服装ということでしたが、3つ隣の黒人カップルが正装にていたので、あれって感じでしたが、男性が海を背にして座っていた女性に、夕日が綺麗だよなどと言って、立って振り向かせて海を見せていると、男性がひざまずき、指輪を出してプロポーズをしました。
サンセットクルーズで、綺麗な夕日の中でプロポーズなんて、素敵すぎます。周囲から大きな拍手や歓声があがりました。
夕日も沈み、料理も終わる頃、帰路に着きます。
最後には、YMCAなどの音楽で踊り、会場がひとつになって盛り上がりました。

Fortunately, I was able to encounter a whale. However, I had my video camera ready the whole time but couldn't capture any footage. It's difficult to film with a camera or video. You can enjoy a pleasant cruise while looking at Waikiki from the sea with the beautiful blue ocean. The boat does sway a bit. There were smaller boats around, but for those who are prone to seasickness, a larger boat might be a better option.
幸運にも、クジラに遭遇できました。
ただし、ビデオカメラでずっと構えていましたが映像におさめることはできませんでした。カメラやビデオで撮影するのは難しいですね。ワイキキを青い海とともに洋上から眺めるながら気持ちのよいクルーズを楽しめます。

The pickup time was accurate, and the stickers on the chest with the numbers 1 and 2 indicate the bus numbers, making it easy to understand. There are explanations in Japanese on the bus. For the onboard explanations, using a smartphone translation app works well. On the way there, I couldn't see any whales, so I thought, "I'm glad I chose this tour because it's enjoyable even if it's just a cruise," but on the way back, I was thrilled to see whales multiple times! I highly recommend this tour for an extraordinary experience! It can be cold if it's windy, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket. I definitely want my acquaintances going to Hawaii to participate!

I have enjoyed snorkeling abroad before, but I have never encountered so many fish in such a clear cove; it was a valuable experience. The entrance tickets are so popular that they are hard to reserve, but the convenience of a tour is appealing.
今まで、海外でシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、透明度の高い入江でこれほどまで多くの魚に出会えたことがなく、貴重な体験でした。入場チケットも予約が取れないほど人気な場所ですが、ツアーならではの楽ちんさが魅力的です。

I went without much expectation because I had read reviews saying they couldn't see anything, but I was able to see whales spouting and diving about 5 or 6 times! Their tails were huge, and it was truly moving! I tend to get motion sickness easily, but I didn't feel sick at all without taking any medication. However, since the wind can be strong, it's better to bring a jacket. Inside the boat, you go barefoot, and some people spill drinks due to the wind, so wearing something that can get wet is recommended! Also, the shuttle bus for pick-up only stops on the street and doesn't come to call you. Since there's no company name written on it, it doesn't stand out, and it might depend on the driver, but they don't call out names either, so I think it's best to check when a larger van stops. Additionally, those with a pick-up plan arrive in front of the boat 30 minutes early, so you might have some time to kill. (There's an ice cream shop nearby, so you can pass the time there!)
見れなかったという口コミもあったのであまり期待しないで行きましたが、5,6回くらい潮を吹いて潜っていくクジラを見ることができました!
尾鰭だけですがとっても大きくて感動しました!
自分は乗り物酔いしやすいですが、酔い止めなしでも全く酔いませんでした。
ただ風が強いので上着は持って行ったほうがいいです。
船内は裸足ですし、風でドリンクをこぼしたりする方もいるので濡れてもいい格好がおすすめです!
あと、送迎のシャトルバスは通りに止まるだけで呼びにきてはくれません。
会社名が書いてあるわけでもないので目立ちませんし、ドライバーさんによるかもですが名前を呼ばれたりもしないので大きめのバンが止まったら確認しに行くのが良いと思います。
あと送迎付きのプランの方は30分前に船の前に着くので、少々暇です。
(近くにアイス屋さんがあるので時間は潰せると思います!)

We booked this tour for the day before we left for home .
The trip and the wealth of knowledge Brandon imparted was so good we really did wish we had booked it at the very start of our trip so we could take advantage of all the tips and suggestions he made to maximise our experience whilst visiting the island .
Every stop we made added to our fabulous experience of the island . My only wish having now taken the tour was to have the bus stop on the north shore for 15 mins maybe to fully experience the fabulous waves we only saw from the bus window ..
Brandon was a wealth of knowledge and kept the bus engaged at all times .
Aloha Deborah, Thank you so very much for taking your valuable time to rate us and for your kind words. We are truly grateful to all guests and visitors who express their appreciation of our services. We look forward to seeing you again one day! :) /Cecilia - owner/

Beautful sunset view from the top deck; great food and entertainment. The best part by far was the Jazz Ensemble! At the end, the cast and servers did an amazing ‘hula hula’ version of YMCA. The group loved it.

We participated as a family of four. The dinner is served buffet-style, allowing you to enjoy your meal while taking in the beautiful scenery. There are about ten different types of dishes, and some include coconut milk, so those who are not fond of it might have limited options. At the end of the tour, you can watch a show featuring hula dancing and other performances. The quality seems to vary, but it looked like the area next door (the more expensive course?) was really lively with a haka performance. To wrap things up, all the guests stood up and danced to the YMCA. My parents, who are approaching their sixties, were shy but had a great time dancing, which made for a wonderful memory (laughs).
家族4人で参加しました。ディナーはビュッフェ形式で美しい景色を見ながらご飯を食べることができます。種類は10種類くらいで、ココナッツミルクとかが使われている料理もあるので苦手な人は食べられるものが限られるかもしれません。ツアーの最後にはフラダンスなどのショーが見れます。クオリティはピンキリな印象ですが、隣のエリア(高いコース?)はハカみたいなのもやっていたようですごく盛り上がってました。最後の締めはゲスト全員が立ってYMCAを踊りました。還暦手前の両親が恥ずかしそうにしながら楽しく踊っていたので、それもまたいい思い出です(笑)
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the buffet and show on the Pacific Star. Our entire staff is honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

Thanks to the other passengers on board who kept pointing out, "It's over there!" I was able to see it several times. The announcements made by the captain when something is spotted are, of course, only in English, so those who don't understand English will have to rely on the reactions of the surrounding passengers. I imagined it would be as luxurious as a show like "Itte Q," but it was surprisingly underwhelming.
一緒に乗船しているお客さんが見つける度にあっちにいるよ!と声をかけてくれたおかげで何度か見ることができました。船長が見つけた時にかけるアナウンスは当たり前に英語のみなので、英語がわからない人は周りのお客さんの反応を頼りにすることになります。イッテQのような豪華な感じを想像していましたが、案外しょぼかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry to hear that the cruise ship did not meet your expectations, but we are very pleased that you enjoyed whale watching. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

We had the best time. Brought our grandkids ages 10 and 12 and they were entertained the entire time. I highly recommend this luau. The food was good much variety. It was a little chilly so bring a sweater. They had activities in the beginning also.

There is a pickup service from the center of Waikiki, and it takes about 30 minutes to board. Many foreigners participated, and the explanations after departure were primarily in English, but it wasn't a problem at all. About 20 to 30 minutes after departure, we were able to see whales around the area with Diamond Head in front of us. They were small, but we could see them spouting water multiple times and jumping, making the time fly by.
Since it’s a large boat, I think you don’t have to worry too much about it rocking, but it was cold inside the boat, so I recommend bringing a jacket!
ワイキキの中心部からの送迎ありで30分ほどで乗船。外国の方も多く参加されており、出発後の説明などは基本英語でしたが、困ることはなかったです。出発後20分から30分ほどでダイアモンドヘッドを正面に見渡すあたりでクジラを見ることができました。小さめでしたが、何度も潮を吹く様子やジャンプする姿など見ることができ、あっという間の時間でした。
大きな船なので揺れなどはそこまで心配しなくて良いかと思いますが、船内は寒かったので上着を持っていかれる事をお勧めします!

The upper deck was great for taking pictures. We started off with a charcuterie board that had tasty cheeses and fruit. The second course included lobster over a beet salad with a nice puree. My only reservation was the meat which was overcooked in my opinion, but to be fair, I'm sure many people prefer a medium-well filet. Taking pictures in between courses was a huge plus and didn't make us feel confined to the table. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time.
