We did the EarlyBird Breakfast Cruise on Jan. 22, 2020. It was wonderful. Easy to arrive and enjoy some breakfast before leaving. Food and drinks were well worth the price.
Shortly after leaving we saw the whale breaching amd we were all amazed.
Capt. Mike and crew did an amazing job.
Highly recommend!!!

At first, there were no whales, so we enjoyed a leisurely cruise. The weather was nice, and it felt great to relax while taking in the views of the sea and mountains.
In the end, there was a rush of whale sightings! We all reacted to the captain's announcements of "Look in the direction of 3 o'clock!" and moved around the boat together. We were thrilled to see about three whales spouting water and showing their tails as they dove!
初めはクジラが現れなかったのでゆったりクルージング。お天気も良く海や山等、景色を眺めながらゆっくり過ごして気持ちよかったです。
最後にクジラさん出現ラッシュ!
5回くらい船長の「何時の方向に見えました!」と言うアナウンスに反応し乗客みんなで船上を移動。3頭くらいのクジラが塩を吹いたり、潜るのに尾ビレを見せたりする姿が見え感動しました!

I think this is all about luck. Just when we had given up on seeing whales today and were on our way back to the port, an American woman we had been talking with found a whale spouting in the distance! When we shouted, the boat went closer to the whale...
It's strange that even with more than ten crew members on deck standing by to look for whales, the crew couldn't find any. I hope the whale spotting crew will try a little harder next time!
こればかりは運だと思います。
もう今日はクジラは無理だとあきらめて港へ帰る途中に、私たちファミリーと
一緒にお話ししていたアメリカ人女性が遠くで潮を吹くクジラを見つけました! 私たちが声を上げたので、それから船がクジラの近くに行ってくれたりしましたが。。。
デッキ上にボートクルーも10人以上もクジラ探しでスタンバイしているのに
クルーがクジラを見つけられなかったのが不思議です。
次回はクジラ発見隊クルーにもうちょっと頑張ってほしいです!

This is a must-visit place when you go to Hawaii! The slides didn't have long lines, and I was able to ride all of them! They were thrilling slides that you won't find in pool facilities in Japan. The staff's response was really good as well. When I lost something, they helped me look for it until it was found. Since it's located in a vast area quite far from the airport, I recommend using a shuttle bus for those going there! It was really convenient to be dropped off right in front of the hotel!
ハワイに行ったら必ず行くべき場所です!スライダーも長時間並ぶことがなく、全てのスライダーを乗ることができました!日本のプール施設にはないようなスリル満点のスライダーばかりでした。またスタッフの方の対応が本当に良かったです。落とし物をした際に見つかるまで一緒に探してくださりました。空港近くのかなり郊外の広大な土地にあったので、行く方はバスの送迎をつけるのをオススメします!ホテルの前まで送迎してくれるのは、かなり楽でした!

I was really looking forward to it, as the brochures and TV commercials promised that we would see whales right in front of us... But when I strained my eyes, it was just barely visible from a distance. It didn't show up in the photos. Even when we spotted them far away, we didn't get any closer... and that was the end of it.
The staff were kind, but... while there may have been whales, considering the price, I was a bit disappointed.
パンフレットもテレビのコマーシャルも鯨が目の前で見られる様なものばかりですごーく楽しみにしていましたが…
目を凝らしてやっと…くらいの遠さ。
写真にはうつりませんでした。
遠くに見つけても近づいて行く事は無く…終了。

I went on a weekday, and there were no wait times for attractions like the water slides at all. The water slides are located at a high position, so climbing the stairs was quite challenging. On the day I visited, it was less crowded than I expected, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time. I purchased a standard ticket, which included unlimited drinks, so I could go for drinks whenever I wanted, which was great. There was free time from 10:30 to 15:00, and it was enough time to have a fulfilling experience!
平日に行きましたが、ウォータースライダーなどのアトラクションの待ち時間は全くありませんでした。
ウォータースライダーは基本位置が高い場所にあるので、階段で登るのが結構大変でした。

One of my biggest fears is a shark. The idea of this excursion terrified me but When in Rome, right? Hawaii is the perfect place to face your fears and do something you’d never normally do. The guys on the boat helped ease my fears and made the experience so incredible. I would recommend this excursion to anyone. We saw 6 sharks at one time and being that close to a shark was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. We spent about 40 min in the water and it was the perfect amount of time. The fact that only a small number of people can go on the excursion means more time in the water. This is a must do on the North Shore! Bring your GoPro!

I'm grateful that the captain tells us which direction to look for the whales. In fact, there were several whales in that direction, but we could only see their dorsal fins, which was disappointing.
A small boat was quite close to the whales, so even though it was a bit rocky, being in a smaller boat might allow you to feel the size and power of the whales more.
Breakfast was delicious, but I felt it was a bit pricey for what you get...
クジラがいると船長さんが何時の方向に見えますと言ってくれるのでありがたいです。
実際その方向にクジラが何頭かいましたが背鰭しか見えず残念でした。。
小さなボートがかなりクジラに接近していたので、揺れがキツくても小さなボートの方がクジラの大きさや迫力は感じられるかもしれません。
朝食は美味しかったですが、お値段の割にはお高く感じました…
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. I am sorry to hear that your encounter with the whales was not very clear. We will share your feedback regarding breakfast with our staff and use it as a reference for future improvements. Thank you very much for this time.

This was a great tour! Our driver/guide had lots of fun stories about history and culture of everything we saw. It was a good amount of time at each place.
The USS Missouri is great. Take the guided tour! Our guide had some great stories. I also enjoyed having time to explore on my own.
The USS Arizona Memorial and other memorials were very humbling. So grateful for the men and women who sacrificed their lives that day so I can enjoy the freedom I now have. It was quite humbling to stand over the tomb of those men in the USS Arizona. I also enjoyed the Walk of Honour. My only regret was not having enough time to explore the other things in and around that site.
This was a great starter tour to show me what I might like to do next time. The company from booking to resort pick-up and drop off to not having to navigate the traffic made it well worth the investment. I highly recommend this for everyone. I learned a lot!
I also greatly appreciated the poncho to use as we had rain off and on all day. Unexpected but awesome bonus!

According to the reviews, it seemed that only about 30% of people were able to see them, so I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out to be true. After that, I received advice that if I wanted to see whales, Maui or the Big Island would be better, and I thought it was rare to see them off the coast of Waikiki Beach on Oahu.
口コミ情報では約3割程度の人しかが観ることができたようでしたので、あまり期待はしていませんでしたが、その通りになってしまいました。その後クジラを観るなら、マウイ島かハワイ島が良いとアドバイスを受け、オアフ島のワイキキビーチの沖合で観えること自体が稀ではないかと思いました。

Kualoa Ranch is beautiful and probably my favorite place on Oahu. There is so much to do there! This is a bus tour that offers an awesome experience driving through the heart of the ranch and listening to the guides commentary about the different movies that were filmed there. The bus makes multiple stops along the way so you can get out, walk around, and take pictures as you please. Overall good tour. The guide was very knowledgable and made it fun.

This shark cage tour was awesome. Started off the morning with a nice north shore cruise to the cage drop spot. The crew is very laid back and give you all the information you need along the way. Very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all and any questions we had. Spent a good chunk of time in the cage and saw a few different sharks able to collect some pretty sweet GoPro footage. Even saw some whales along the way and you are able to hear them singing underwater which is pretty cool. The boat is spacious and comfortable and they provide bottled water. They also have a fresh water hose so you can rinse off when you are done in the cage. This tour was 100% safe and professionally ran. I would recommend it for anyone looking to have a good time for a few hours on the island.

I parked at Pier 5.6 an hour ago, thinking there was a whale watching booth there, but it turned out that the Star of Honolulu was a five-minute walk from there, so I was cutting it close on time. The whale watching at Pier 5.6 is operated by a different company called Atlantis, so be careful about that. The parking fee is a maximum of $30, and I paid $27, so it wasn't much different. Once on board, we listened to the explanation and then went outside to look for whales, but in the end, we couldn't find any. The scenery was amazing.
1時間前からピア5.6の駐車場に停めてそこにもホエールウォッチングのブースがありそこかと思っていたらスターオブホノルルはそこから徒歩5分のところだったので時間ギリギリでした。

駐車場はMAX 30ドルで、私は27ドルだったので対して変わりませんでした。いざ乗船して説明聞いてから外に出てクジラを探しましたが結局クジラはみつかりませんでした。景色は最高でした。

On the fourth day of my stay in Hawaii, I visited Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. When I arrived at the meeting place at the designated time, the driver was checking in guests. The shuttle bus did not have any logos for Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii.
We arrived in about 30 minutes, and while the park wasn't as large as I had imagined, that actually made it easier to get around without getting tired. The signature Tornado and water slides were, of course, fun, but I especially enjoyed trying the FlowRider with a bodyboard for the first time—it was a blast and I was very satisfied with the facility.
The attractions available inside the park seemed to be limited due to staffing, with different options available in the morning and afternoon. I recommend going back to enjoy the fun things you liked in the morning. If you opt for the all-you-can-drink or all-you-can-eat options, you show a paper wristband, but after a day of fun, it tends to get a bit worn out, so I think it's a good idea to hide it under the sleeve of your rash guard.
Having a pool experience in Hawaii was definitely a "yes" for me.

名物のトルネードやウォータースライダーももちろん楽しかったのですが、ボディーボードを使ったフローライダーが初挑戦ながらとても楽しく、大満足の施設でした。
館内の稼働施設は人員の関係なのか、午前と午後で遊べるものが限られます。
午前中に面白かったものはまたすぐに行く事をおすすめします。
ドリンク飲み放題や食べ放題をオプションでつけた場合は紙製のリストバンドを見せるのですが、一日遊んでいるとだんだんボロボロになってくるので、普段はラッシュガードの袖で隠すといいと思います。

The sandbar itself doesn’t offer much to do, but it was a very beautiful place. It’s worth visiting at least once. I also thoroughly enjoyed the sea turtle watching and snorkeling. However, while there were no issues during snorkeling, it was quite cold after getting out, and I was shivering. But the hot cocoa they served at that time was really delicious. The timing was just right, and I was able to enjoy various activities, which was great.

I booked a breakfast buffet plan for the "Whale Watching Cruise - Star of Honolulu" with a choice of cultural experiences.
I didn't include transportation and took an Uber taxi from the hotel to Pier 8.
At that time, the weather in Hawaii was consistently "cloudy with occasional rain and strong winds," resulting in high waves.
<Breakfast>
You can freely choose from bread, rice, scrambled eggs (steamed eggs), American sausage, and cereal, along with coffee, tea, green tea, milk, and orange juice.
Around the time we finished breakfast, they provided an explanation about whale watching. Those who didn't have breakfast had to wait until we finished. The explanation was entirely in English, so I somewhat understood it while reading the translations from Google Translate's microphone mode.
<Cruise>
Announcements like "Let's work together to find the whales!" and "The ecology of whales is..." were continuously made in English. At first, I was full of enthusiasm, but the waves were intense, and the wind was strong. It was rocking a lot. As expected, I got seasick, and it became difficult to focus on whale watching. I usually don't get car or airplane motion sickness, but this was a different dimension. (The foreign guests around me seemed fine.) I couldn't spot any whales, and with the seasickness, it turned into quite a heavy activity.
However, those who couldn't see any whales are issued a ticket for another free cruise.
Due to my travel schedule, I didn't use the ticket, but I think it's great that they offer a chance.
Since this activity depends on nature, I recommend understanding that aspect and being prepared to accept the possibility of not seeing whales when making a reservation.
Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
「ホエールウォッチングクルーズ スターオブホノルル号 選べるカルチャー体験」の朝食ビュッフェ付きプランを予約しました。
送迎は付けず、ホテルからpier8までUberタクシーで移動しました。
この時のハワイの天気は、連日「曇時々雨で一日中強風」というタイミングも重なり、波が高かったです。
<朝食>
パン、ごはん、スクランブルエッグ(スチームエッグ)、アメリカンソーセージ、シリアル
コーヒー、紅茶、緑茶、牛乳、オレンジジュース
これらから自由に選べます。
朝食を食べ終わる頃にホエールウォッチングの説明がされます。
朝食を食べ終わるまでの間、朝食なしの人は待っていることになります。
説明は全篇英語なので、Google翻訳のマイクモードで翻訳されたのを読みながら、なんとなく理解しました
<クルーズ>
「みんなで協力しあってくじらを見つけよう!」「くじらの生態は…」というようなアナウンスが終始英語で流れています。
最初はやる気に溢れていたのですが、なんせ波が、すごい。風も、すごい。揺れる。
案の定船酔いしてしまい、途中からホエールウォッチングどころではなくなってしまいました。
車酔いや飛行機酔いはしない方ですが、船は別次元でした。
(周りの外国人の方々は平気そうでした。)
くじらはを見つけることはできず、船酔いをし、なかなかヘビーなアクティビティになりました。
ただ、くじらを見れなかった人にもう一回無料でクルーズできるチケットが発行してもらえます。
旅程の都合でチケットは利用しませんでしたが、チャンスをもらえるのはいいと思います。
自然とのお付き合い次第のアクティビティなので、その点は理解し、諦めを覚悟して予約することをおすすめします。
それと、酔い止めをご持参されることをおすすめします。笑

I experienced this on February 8, 2020! I participated in a tour with Veltra and stayed for about four and a half hours. Since it wasn't crowded, I was able to try almost all the water slides and enjoy the wave pool! There are thrilling free-fall water slides that you can't easily experience in Japan, so I think anyone from adults to children can have fun (^^).
One of the most impressive was the Tornado Slide, where you slide down in a tornado shape after a steep drop—it was truly thrilling and enjoyable! Since I went in February, it was a bit chilly, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your swimsuit! I imagine it would be packed in the summer; it was such a fun park!
2020年2月8日に体験して参りました!
ベルトラさんのツアーで参加し、約4時間半ほどの滞在でしたが、空いてたこともあり、ほぼ全てのウォータースライダーを体験、、波が出るプールも楽しむことが出来ました!
日本では中々味わえない急降下のウォータースライダーもあり、大人から子供まで誰でも楽しめると思います(^^)
中でも印象深いのはトルネードスライダーで、急降下からのトルネード状で滑っていく所が本当にスリル満点で楽しめました!
2月に行ったのでやはり肌寒いので、羽織れるものを用意しておくと良いです!
夏は恐らく満員御礼だろうなと思うくらい、楽しいパークでした!

This tour is one that you won’t forget! During our shark tour, we had 6 sharks around us for most of our time in the water. The cage allows you to get a close view of the sharks while still viewing safe being in the water. You get a beautiful view of the deep blue water that is unlike anything else. The staff was great, informing us of sharks that are often seen as well as educating us on the sharks we were seeing. The staff also gave fun facts about the island during the boat ride. I could not say enough great things about this tour!

The staff were always smiling, and some could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease and enjoy my time. I had a great time from the morning with high energy. I was satisfied to see both dolphins and whales! Since I participated in January, I thought it might be cold, but it was much colder than I imagined once we got out of the water. There were small children participating as well, and it was sad to see them shivering, so I think parents should definitely bring warm clothing. Also, the boat sways quite a bit, so even those who usually don’t get seasick should take motion sickness medication. It would be the worst to get sick! It was sad to see the kids unable to eat their hamburgers because they got seasick...
スタッフさんはいつも笑顔で日本語を話せる方もいて、安心して楽しく過ごせました。
朝からテンションも高く楽しかったです。
イルカもクジラも見れて満足でした!
1月の参加だったため寒いかなと思っていましたが、海から上がると想像以上に寒かったです。
小さなお子さんも参加されていましたが、ブルブル震えていてかわいそうだったので、親御さんは防寒用具しっかり持って行った方が良いと思います。
あと船は結構揺れるので普段酔わない人も酔い止めは必須です。酔ったら最悪です!
子供さんが酔ってハンバーガーも食べれずかわいそうでした…
Thank you for participating in Dolphin & You. We are glad to hear that you had a fun time, and our staff is happy as well. Even in sunny Hawaii, the temperature drops a bit during the winter, but there are special benefits during this season, such as the opportunity to see whales. We would be delighted if you could join us again in a different season to experience a different side of Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you!
この度は、ドルフィン&ユーへのご参加ありがとうございます。楽しく過ごしていただき、スタッフも喜んでおります。常夏ハワイでも、冬の時期は少し温度が下がりますが、この時期だけクジラがみられるなどの特典もあります。次回は、また違った季節にご参加いただき、違ったハワイを体験していただけたら嬉しいです。お待ちしています!
