Don't expect a giant whale to appear right in front of you. We were picked up at the Ko Olina Marriott with about ten others and headed to Waianae Harbor. There were already some participants lined up, probably around 40 to 50 people, and I think we were the only two Japanese. Unfortunately, I could only understand about 80% of the guide's explanations, but I got the gist of it.
We enjoyed a large catamaran yacht cruising at engine speed. Since it was a yacht, we were close to the water, and although the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, we had a great time cruising. Once we got offshore, we encountered a small whale that spouted water a few hundred meters away. We saw it several times, and each time there were cheers. I think the sight of a giant tail appearing right in front of us is just a picture from the brochure.
After that, the boat headed to the dolphin area. The dolphins swim in groups and are very curious, coming close to the boat, so we could see them well. However, I had previously participated in a dolphin watching cruise from the same harbor in the summer, and I felt that the dolphins were more energetic and jumping around at that time.
The nearly two-hour cruise included all-you-can-eat rice crackers that looked like persimmon seeds and one drink (including alcohol) for just under $100. I thought it was a bit pricey, but my wife was very impressed. Besides encountering whales and dolphins, she also enjoyed the scenery and the cruising itself.
We were also taken back to the Ko Olina Marriott afterward. Additionally, you have to take off your shoes when boarding, and it's barefoot inside the boat. You just throw your shoes into a container box on the dock, so if you're concerned about that, it might be a good idea to bring a plastic bag or something to carry them inside. We didn't mind since we were wearing flip-flops and sneakers, but my wife found it a bit troublesome to take off her socks.
巨大なクジラが目の前に現れて・・なんて期待してはいけません。
コオリナマリオットで10名ほどピックアップしてもらって、ワイアナエハーバーへ。すでに先客組が並んでいて40~50名ほどの参加者でしょうか、日本人は我々2名だけだったと思います。残念ながらガイドさんの説明は80%は理解できなかったけれど、それなりに分かるものです。
大型のカタマランヨットを機走(エンジンで進む)で楽しみます。ヨットなので海面も近く、参加日は曇り時々晴れでしたがクルージングも楽しめました。沖合に出ると数百メータ先に「プシュッ!」と潮を吹いて泳ぐ小さなクジラに遭遇しました。何度か出くわしますが、そのたびに歓声が上がります。目の前を巨大な尾びれが現れて・・というのはパンフレットの写真だけだと思います。
その後、イルカのエリアにも船は向ってくれました。イルカは群れを成すし好奇心豊かで船にも近づくのでよく見えます。ただ同じハーバーから以前夏にイルカウォッチングクルーズに参加したことがあるのですが、その時のほうがジャンプしたりイルカも元気だったような気がします。
2時間近くのクルーズで、柿の種みたいなあられ(食べ放題?)とワンドリンク(アルコールもあり)で$100弱。ちょっと高いかななんて思ったのですが、カミさんはとても感激。クジラやイルカの遭遇以外にも景色やクルージング自体も楽しかったようです。
帰りもコオリナマリオットまで送ってもらえました。
あと、乗船時に靴を脱ぎ船内は裸足です、脱いだ靴類は桟橋のコンテナボックスに投げ入れるだけなので気になる人はビニール袋等持参して船内に持ち込むのも一考かもしれません。我々はビーサンとスニーカーだったので気にしませんでしたが、カミさんが靴下脱いだり面倒くさがっていました。

I was excited when I saw the map, wondering if I could explore everything, but when I got there, it was surprisingly small, and I completed a lap in no time. The staff were all friendly, but it felt a bit sparse, as one person was watching multiple slides, and the food area called a café was completely closed. I appreciated the water and fruit service at the cabana. Since it was a tour, I had to stay until after 3 PM when the pickup came, which felt like a waste of time when there was nothing to do. I think it would be better to have a rental car next time so I could leave whenever I wanted.
地図で見た時は全部回れるかな〜?とワクワクしてましたが、行ってみると意外と狭くて、あっという間に一周しちゃいました。
スタッフは皆さん愛想のいい方ばかりでしたが、人手不足なのか、一人で複数の滑り台を見ていたり、カフェと名がつくフードエリアが全て閉まっていたり…閑散としている感じがしました。
カバナのお水とフルーツサービスは嬉しかったです。
ツアーなので迎えが来る3時過ぎまでやることないのにいなきゃいけないのは時間の無駄でした。次回行くとしてもレンタカーなどで好きな時に帰れた方がいいなと思いました。

The sandbar on the day we participated had water up to our thighs, which was a bit disappointing! I think it would be good to check a site that provides tide information before making a reservation.
The hamburgers we had on the boat were surprisingly delicious!! Although there was a bit of murkiness in the water for snorkeling due to rain the day before, there were many sea turtles nearby, and we were able to swim with them. It was so much fun!
参加した日のサンドバーは太ももあたりまで水が上がっていて少し残念でした!潮位を調べられるサイトがあるみたいなので予約する前に参考にした方がいいと思います。
船上で食べるハンバーガーはびっくりするぐらい美味しかったです!!シュノーケリングも前日に雨が降ったため少し濁りはありましたがウミガメが近くに沢山いて一緒に泳ぐことができました。すごく楽しかったです!

The weather was a bit unpredictable with rain coming and going, but the conditions on the day turned out to be quite good. The contrast of the rainbow with the planes taking off from Honolulu Airport and the view of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from the sea was very uplifting. The open sea had surprisingly high waves, and everything from my clothes to my belongings got soaked, but the pleasant climate made it feel like being sprayed with water at Disneyland. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but we received a pass to ride again for free within the season, so I felt quite satisfied. A couple in their 50s who could only speak basic English like "Thank you" somehow joined a tour that only had an English-speaking guide (there were about 20 participants, and only one other Japanese group besides us), but even without understanding the language, we had a pretty good time. Just keep in mind that there are no life jackets, so any activities outside the boat are at your own risk.
雨が降ったり止んだりで天候に気を揉みましたが、当日の天気はまずまずのコンディションでした。虹とホノルル空港から離陸した飛行機のコントラスト、海上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みは、とっても気分を高揚させます。外海は意外に波が高く、服から何から‘べしょべしょ‘に濡れましたが気候も良いので、言ってみればディズニーランドで放水を浴びているようなものですね。鯨は残念ながら見れなかったけど、シーズン内ならもう一度無料で乗れるパスも貰えるし、満足感は十分ありました。「Thank you」ぐらいの英語しか喋れない50代夫婦が何を血迷ったか英語ガイドしかいないツアーに参加しましたが(20組ぐらいの参加者のうち日本人グループは我々ともう一組だけでした)、言葉はわからないなりに結構楽しめますよ。ただ救命胴着はありませんので船外の行動は自己責任となります。

I was a bit disappointed that several attractions I wanted to ride were closed. Since I visited on a weekday, there were few people in the facility and the wait times were short, allowing me to ride the slides multiple times. Most of the visitors were tourists, with a majority being Japanese. The only attraction with a long wait time was the FlowRider. There are deck chairs by the central wave pool, but the shaded areas fill up quickly, so I recommend securing a spot as soon as you enter the park.
乗りたかったアトラクションが何個か開いていなかったので少しがっかりでした。
行ったのが平日だということもあり、施設自体は人も少なく待ち時間も少ないのでスライダーに何度も乗ることができた。
来場者は殆どが観光客で日本人が大半です。
唯一待ち時間が長かったのはフローライダーくらいでした。
中央の波が出るプールにデッキチェアがあるが屋根付きで無料の所はすぐ埋まる為、入園後すぐに場所取りしに行く事をおすすめします。

We visited three or four hotels before leaving, spending quite a bit of time before arriving in Honolulu. By the time we got there, it was already open, but there was a long line for baggage inspection, and we could only enjoy the pool around 11 AM. We went on December 31, and it probably wasn't too crowded, but we waited over 30 minutes for the first attraction. The next attraction also had a limited number of two-person floats, and we waited about 30 minutes for a float. Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was already 3 PM for the meeting time. If there were single-person floats, we could have gone down three or four times while we were waiting, so I hope they can be flexible with the number and types of floats based on the situation.
The wave pool had strong waves, and I was a bit worried about the kids drowning, but they were having fun.
On the way back, we were dropped off at the hotels in order of pickup, so we arrived 50 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, which allowed us to make good use of the time afterward.
We had reserved a governor for rental in advance. The rental fee is high, so the cost-effectiveness is questionable, but considering the luggage and dining aspects, it was nice to spend our time elegantly.
For those who want to play a lot, the time might feel short and unsatisfying, but for our family, it was just right, and I thought it would be nice to bring them back again.
行くときにホテルを3,4カ所回っていって、ホノルルを出るまでにかなり時間を費やし、到着したらすでにオープンしていて、荷物検査でもかなり行列で時間がかかり、実際にプールで遊べたのは11時頃でした。12月31日に行きましたがおそらくそんなにすいていなかったのだと思いますが、最初に並んだアトラクションで30分以上まち、次のアトラクションも2人乗りの浮き輪の数が少なく、浮き輪待ちで30分ほど並び、並ぶのに時間がかかり、あっという間に集合の3時になりました。一人乗りの浮き輪だと、私たちが並んでいる間に3回も4回も滑れていましたので、状況をみて浮き輪の数や種類など、臨機応変に対応して下さるといいのにな、と思いました。
波のプールは波の迫力が強く、子供が溺れないか不安なほどでしたが、楽しんでいました。
帰りはピックアップされたホテル順におろして頂いたので、ホテル到着予定時間の50分も前に到着したので、その後の時間を有効に使えて良かったです。
今回ガバナを事前にレンタル予約していました。レンタル料は高いので費用対効果は微妙ですが、荷物のことや、食事面を考えると、優雅に過ごせて良かったです。
たくさん遊びたい人には時間が短く物足りないかも知れませんが、我が家にはちょうどよく、またつれてきてあげたいな、と思いました。

On January 2nd, I participated in the first day of the whale watching season. The weather was perfect, and I was excited to join, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. It seems that sometimes days like this happen, but if you don't see any whales, you can show a re-participation ticket (issued at the ticket center after disembarking) to get on another boat for free during that season. However, you must make your own way to the boarding area.
Due to our schedule, we couldn't try again during our stay this time, but if you're really eager to see whales, it might be a good idea to plan for a backup day in case you don't see any.
However, we did get to see a pod of dolphins, and the staff were all very kind.
1月2日、クジラウォッチングシーズンの初日に参加。
最高のお天気でワクワクしながら参加しましたが、残念ながら、クジラは見れませんでした。
たまにはこんな日もあるようですが、見れなかった場合、再参加のチケット(船を降りてからチケットセンターで発行)を見せればその年のシーズン中は再度船に無料で乗せてくれるみたいです。
但し、船乗り場までは自分で来ることが条件です。
私達は今回はスケジュールの都合上、滞在中に再度トライはできませんでしたが、どうしてもクジラを見たい方は、もしも見れなかった時の為に予備日も考えていたらいいかもしれません。
でも、イルカの群れを少し見ることができましたし、スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切でした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.

One disappointing thing was that, despite the explanation not to use spray sunscreen because it harms the marine environment, there were customers who used it without concern. I hope that users will follow the rules to protect Hawaii's beautiful ocean.

I participated in this tour for the first time in seven years. The members were the same as seven years ago, so it was fun to see people who had changed in appearance and those who hadn’t changed at all.
Now, the guide who picked us up in the morning spoke suspicious Japanese, and during the car ride, he explained everything in English without any warnings, and we arrived at the destination. Even there, the explanations were in English, and just when I was wondering about it, he finally explained in Japanese, which relieved my whole family.
At the local boat, they provided proper assistance in Japanese. What was wonderful was that we had about an hour for sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling, so even my wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling with a life jacket and float. Perhaps we looked like we were having too much fun, as my parents in their 70s decided to try snorkeling for the first time! However, they needed help right away ( ;∀; ). They said they were still okay, but I think it was a nice decision to get assistance.
For lunch, we had hamburgers, which were very delicious, and I wanted a second helping. Also, the crew here was very cheerful and lifted our spirits with their "Aloha!" greetings. The guide who picked us up in the morning played the guitar and sang during lunchtime, which seemed to be part of his job. Overall, it was a great experience. I would like to participate again when my daughter is able to snorkel.

現地の船では日本語できちんと対応してもらいました。すばらしいのは、サンドバーとカメウォッチ、さらにはシュノーケルが1Hぐらいあったので、泳げない嫁でも、ライフジャケットと浮棒?でとても楽しくシュノーケルをしていました。今回あまりに私たち夫婦が楽しそうにみえたのか?、70代の両親がシュノーケリングに初挑戦!!したところ・・・すぐにヘルプで助けられました( ;∀;)
本人曰くまだまだ大丈夫だったはずと言っていますが、やっぱり助けて頂いたのはナイス判断だったと思います。
ランチは、ハンバーガーでしたがとてもおいしく、おかわりがほしいくらいでした。また、ここのクルーはとても陽気でアローーーーーーーハァーのあいさつで気分を楽しくしてくれました。朝迎えに来たガイドは、ランチタイムに、ギターを弾いて歌っていましたが、結局それが仕事みたいでした。全体的にとても良かったです。娘がシュノーケリングできるようになったらまた参加したいと思いました。

I participated in this when I traveled with my family. The picking in Waikiki went smoothly without any issues. The guidance was entirely in English, but it wasn't a problem even if you didn't understand it. As for the tour, I was able to see a whale spouting water at the very end, which was fantastic. I was very satisfied. However, due to the weather, the boat rocked quite a bit, so everyone felt a bit seasick, which was a little tough.
家族で旅行した時に参加しました。ワイキキでのピッキングも問題なくスムーズでした。案内は終始英語ですが、わからなくても特別問題ないです。肝心のツアーですが、最後の最後で潮を吹き上げる鯨の姿を見る事ができました。大変満足です。ただ、天候の影響か、船がかなり激しく揺れたため、全員船酔い気味で少し辛かったです。

Everything was amazing.
I want to go to the sandbar again.
I was also surprised by the high quality of the hamburgers. Both the taste and the portion size were perfect.
It was great to have a wide variety of drinks as well.
Everything was good, but the instruction on how to use the snorkel really stood out. I felt like I was having fun for the first time with snorkeling! I was able to swim with many fish.
I had my kids with me, and there were preparations like children's goggles and life jackets, so the kids enjoyed it too.
It was a really great tour. I highly recommend it.
全てが最高でした。
サンドバーまた行きたいなって思いました。
ハンバーガーのクオリティの高さにも驚きました。味、ボリュームどちらも満点です。
飲み物も種類たくさんで良かったです。
全て良かったのですが、シュノーケルの扱い方を教えて頂いたのがポイントアップです。シュノーケルが初めて楽しい!って思えました。たくさんの魚と一緒に泳げました。
子供連れでしたが、子供用のゴーグル、ライフジャケットなど準備があり子供も楽しめました。
すごく良いツアーでした。オススメです。

The slider was closed about halfway. Also, the wave pool was only available for about two hours after opening, and afterwards it was used as a pool for bodyboarding.
スライダーが半分くらいが閉まってました。また、波の出るプールも開園から2時間位だけ使えましたが、その後はボディーボード用のプールとして使われました。

Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that the whales did not appear. We hope you will have the opportunity to join us again in the winter.
この度はスターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうございます。鯨が姿を現さず、本当に残念です。また、冬場にお越しになる機会があれば、ぜひ再乗船していただけることを願っております。
