The official website of the USS Missouri Memorial (https://ussmissouri.org/) also sells tickets, but I couldn't purchase them with my Japanese credit card, so I bought them through VELTRA. There are so many highlights that it might be difficult to see everything in one day. I considered other sightseeing tours departing from Honolulu, but I decided to split my visit into two days to take my time.
I purchased tickets for the Captain's Tour and the Chief Engineer's Tour (in Japanese) on the day of my visit, and they showed us places that are normally off-limits, making it a very interesting tour.
After visiting the USS Missouri, watching the movies "Battleship" and "Midway" provided a different perspective.
戦艦ミズーリ記念館の公式サイト(https://ussmissouri.org/)でも販売されていますが、日本のクレジットカードでは購入できなかったため、VELTRAで購入しました。見所がたくさんあるため、1日で回りきるのは難しいかもしれません。他のホノルル発着の観光ツアーも検討しましたが、ゆっくり観られるように2日間に分けて訪れました。
戦艦ミズーリのキャプテンツアーとチーフエンジニアツアー(日本語)は当日受付で購入し参加しましたが、通常では入れない場所を見せてくれるので、大変興味深いツアーでした。
戦艦ミズーリを見学した後に、映画『バトルシップ』と『沈黙の戦艦』を観るとまた違った視点で観ることができました。
手荷物・バッグは持ち込めません(預けるのは有料です)。食事は戦艦ミズーリの近くの売店でハンバーガーを食べました。(ほかには潜水艦ボーフィンの近くにホットドックが売っていました)

I think it's less likely to get seasick on a large ship, but when you go up to the fourth deck for whale watching, the height increases the swaying, so it feels quite shaky. If you're concerned, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
We were able to spot quite a few whales. While we didn't see any huge jumps with half their bodies out of the water, we did see them spouting water and their tails and dorsal fins coming out of the surface multiple times. I thought it would be difficult to search in the vast ocean, but since everyone is watching, you quickly notice when they appear, and it creates quite a buzz. There was also another small boat on a tour nearby, and if that boat is stopped, it means they are observing whales in that area, which makes it easy to understand.
大型の船なので酔いにくい方だとは思いますが、クジラウォッチのために4階甲板の上まで出ると、高くなる分揺れの幅が増幅されるため、体感的にはかなり揺れる気がします。ご心配な方は酔い止めおすすめします。
クジラは結構目撃することができました。体半分飛び出すような大ジャンプは見られませんでしたが、潮吹いたり、尾びれ・背びれ?が水面から出てきたりするのは何度も見ることができました。だだっ広い海原で探すのが大変かと思いましたが、みんなが見ているので現れるとわーっとなるのですぐ気がつきます笑。同時に別の小型の船もツアーで近くにいましたが、その船が止まっている場合はその近くにいる(観察中)ということなので、それもわかりやすいです。
The wind is strong and the sunlight is intense, so it seems better to have something to wear over your clothes. Be careful as hats can get blown away.
風が強く日差しもきついので羽織るものがあった方が良さそうです。帽子は飛ばされるので注意。

I heard that the ocean is more beautiful than Waikiki Beach, so I decided to join. It was tough to wake up early and participate, but Hanauma Bay was more stunning than I imagined. I also think there are more fish to see compared to Waikiki Beach. I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but I enjoyed the wide area where I could stand in shallow water.
ワイキキビーチよりも海が綺麗との話を聞き参加しました。早朝に起床し参加するのは大変でしたが、ハナウマ湾は想像以上に絶景でした。また、見ることのできる魚の数もワイキキビーチより多いと思います。私は泳ぎに自信がありませんでしたが、足のつく浅いところの範囲も広く楽しめました。
Since there is a distance from where you can buy water and food to the beach, I think it's better to buy them in advance and take them with you.

I was worried about seasickness and took some motion sickness medication, but the waves were less intense than I expected, and I was totally fine. As for the whale watching, I was starting to think we might not see anything, but then I spotted a spout in the distance! Cheers erupted, and in response, the whale showcased its spouts and tail several times. Seeing it live was truly moving.
船酔いが心配で酔い止め飲みまいたが、思ったより揺れが少なく、全然平気でした。
肝心のホエールウォッチはなかなか見当たらずもしかして、見れないのでは? と思っていたら、遠くにシューっと潮吹きを発見!歓声が上がり、それに答えるように何度も潮吹きや尾びれを披露してくれました。生で見るとほんと感動です。
There is a temperature difference between land, sea, and inside the ship, so it's important to pay attention to your clothing and bring something to wear over your outfit.

I had a very meaningful morning! Unfortunately, I didn't understand about 80% of the English explanations, but when there were whales, it was very easy to understand the direction based on the time on the clock relative to the boat. On that day, we were able to see a small whale jumping, and everyone on the boat was really excited! I tend to get motion sickness and was worried about seasickness, but there was hardly any rocking, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably. If you're visiting Honolulu during this time, I think this is an activity you absolutely should participate in!
非常に有意義な朝の時間を過ごすことができました!!英語の説明は残念ながら8割わからなかったですが、クジラがいた時には船を基準にして時計の時刻で方向を知らせてくれるため、とても分かりやすかったです。

乗り物酔いしやすく、船酔いも心配していましたが、ほとんど揺れもなく快適に過ごすことができました。

I was a bit anxious since it was an English-speaking driver. It seemed like the meeting point was different, and even after 10 minutes, the driver hadn't arrived. When I tried to contact them, the line was busy. Just when I was starting to think they might not come, the driver called my name loudly, and I was able to get on safely. During the ride, I couldn't understand the announcements at all, and since we were the only Japanese people, I felt a bit isolated, haha. We also received two bottles of mineral water for the round trip! Since it was just a plan to climb, I didn't feel rushed and was able to fully enjoy the scenery and nature. However, I later found out that taking the bus would have been significantly cheaper, which was a good lesson learned.

待ち合わせ場所が違っていたようで10分過ぎても来ず、連絡しても通話中。行けないかもと思っていたらドライバーさんが大きな声で名前を呼んでくれて無事に乗れました。移動中の案内は全くわからず翻訳機能も使えず私たちだけ日本人だったので少し疎外感笑。

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I had a feeling that the impression of Japanese people might not be good, so I somewhat avoided it. However, after actually going, I found that this was completely untrue. I enjoyed it just as much as any other activity.
This time, due to time constraints, I only visited the USS Missouri, but I would like to consider visiting other facilities next time. However, please note that tickets for the Arizona Memorial are on a waitlist online for same-day entry, so you cannot wait in line without a mobile phone.
The USS Missouri itself is full of highlights, and even rushing through, it took quite a bit of time. I was able to understand well what it was like when this ship was in active service.

Even when we got close to Diamond Head, we couldn't see any whales, and I started to give up a little, but then I spotted a spout in the distance. At that moment, the boat sped towards the whale, and we got close enough to see it!
After that, the boat kept pace without disturbing the whale, allowing us to see it with Diamond Head in the background. It was such an emotional moment!
As the boat started heading back to the harbor, the other passengers returned inside, but while watching the whale, I was able to see a huge leap from quite a distance!
On the way back, we also spotted two groups of whales, so I think it's a good idea to look out for spouts. The pineapple banana bread provided after boarding was also very delicious, and we could enjoy it with tea or coffee inside the boat!
There were also announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales, so it's fine even if you don't understand English. Since they are living creatures, you can't always see them, but even if they are a bit far away, the boat gets close, so I’m glad I participated!

It was my first time snorkelling, and the experience was fantastic! The equipment was clean, well-maintained, and easy to use. If you're not comfortable swimming in the ocean like me, I highly recommend renting a life vest for extra confidence.
From the start, everything was well-organized. The shuttle bus driver was friendly and informative, sharing insights about Oahu’s geography, and pointing out tourist attractions and great restaurants along the way. He even handed out pictures of ocean creatures we might spot, which made the ride even more exciting!
Overall, a great experience, I’d definitely recommend it!

I participated in February. At first, I was really wondering if I would be able to see them, but I was able to see four of them! When we went out to sea, they stopped the boat's engine and drove slowly and quietly, which allowed us to see two of them up close. I was moved by their size. They seemed to be playing together, possibly a mother and her child or siblings.
Before heading out to sea, we listened to explanations about safety and the characteristics and ecology of humpback whales inside the boat. I read in reviews that there would be staff who spoke Japanese, but it seemed there weren't any when we participated. I was with a friend who spoke English, so she briefly explained the content to me, but I thought it would be nicer if there were written explanations in various languages available (though I could generally understand without them).
The pineapple cake served as a snack was delicious, and I ended up asking for a second helping!
2月に参加しました。初めは本当に見ることができるのかなあと思っていましたが、4頭、本当に見ることができました! 沖に出ると船のエンジン?を止めてゆっくり静かに運転してくれて、それによってそのうち2頭はすぐ間近で見ることができ、大きさを目の当たりにして感動しました。親子なのか兄弟なのか、2頭で遊んでいるようでした。
出航後沖に出るまでは、船内で、安全についての説明やザトウクジラの特徴や生態についての説明を聞きます。日本語が話せるスタッフがいると口コミに書かれていましたが、私たちが参加した際はいないようでした。英語が話せる友人と一緒だったので、彼女に内容を簡単に教えてもらいましたが、各言語の説明書きなどが置いてあるとより親切かなと思いました。(なくても大体分かりますが)

We went all the way to Diamond Head and anchored for a long time near Waikiki Beach. They said there were whales, but even after anchoring for almost an hour, we couldn't see any. It's said that whale breathing lasts 20 to 40 minutes, so if they were nearby, we should have been able to see them... I felt the same while looking from the hotel at Waikiki Beach. From this point, it seems like you could see them with a telescope from places like the Hyatt & Beach or Sheraton.

The only reason I gave the good rating was because the photographer didn't take enough time arranging our family of 17 so you could see everyone in the photo. Also she quickly snapped the two pictures before we were ready so eyes were closed in both pictures. We also wanted individual family photos and she wouldn't do it for us. She would have made more money by all of us buying a photo package. The food was OK, it was a little cold and the pork was dried out.
Plan extra time to get there from Waikiki. Traffic is terrible.

It included transportation, but since it didn't stop at our hotel, we walked to the hotel across the street. The large bus arrived on time and took us to the boarding area!
As soon as we got off the bus, we boarded the boat and took some commemorative photos! Later, a staff member came around to show us the pictures they took! We decided to purchase one as a keepsake (laughs). Then, we enjoyed the breakfast we had been looking forward to. The morning coffee was really great!
Inside the boat, the air conditioning was on, so I think short sleeves might feel a bit cold.
We received an explanation about the whales from the captain and headed to the deck! The blue of the ocean was something you can't feel in Japan, and the view of Waikiki getting farther away! Plus, Diamond Head was clearly visible! I was already satisfied with just that.
And on that day, we were able to see whales! In fact, multiple times!!! We even encountered a mother and baby whale! There is a limit to how close you can get, so they were a bit far, but we could still see them!
The captain announced the direction of the whales, so everyone moved in unison to follow the report. Even if you don't understand English, you'll be fine just following everyone!
Before we knew it, it was time to disembark, and we took the bus back to the hotel.
Personally, I thought it was really great! It was nice to relax on the boat in the Hawaiian sea, and seeing the whales was truly moving! Since it was a large boat, I don't think you would get seasick (but it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case).
There were plenty of restrooms! They weren't super clean, but it was totally fine! I want to go again!
送迎付きでしたが、自分たちのホテルには止まらなかったので向かい側にあるホテルまで歩きました🌴時間通りに大型バスが迎えに来てくれて、乗り場まで連れてってくれました!
バスに降りてすぐに船に乗り、まずは記念撮影!後ほど、係の人が回ってきて撮った写真を見せてくれます!私たちは記念に購入しました(笑)そして、楽しみにしてた朝食をいただきました🍍朝のコーヒーがめちゃくちゃよかったです☕️
船の中はクーラーがかかっていたので半袖は少し寒いと思います。
船長からクジラの説明を受け、デッキへ!
日本では感じられない海の青さ、遠くなっていくワイキキの街並み!そしてダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見える!これだけで満足でした😆
そしてこの日はクジラを見ることができました!しかも何回も!!!🐳親子のクジラにも遭遇しました!近づける範囲が決まってるので若干遠くはありますが見える!!!
船長が◯時の方向だよとアナウンスしてくれるので、みんなその報告を受けて一斉に移動📢英語がわからなくてもみんなについていけば大丈夫です!!!
あっという間に下船になり、バスに乗ってホテルへ戻りました。
個人的にはめちゃくちゃよかったです!とにかくハワイの海で船に乗りながらのんびりできたのもよかったし、クジラも見れて感動しました!大きな船なので船酔いもしないかなと思います!(一応酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が🙆♀️)
トイレもたくさんありました!すごく綺麗なわけではないですが、全然大丈夫です!また行きたいです🌴🤙
Surprisingly, it's cold inside the ship! You'll need something to wear over your clothes!
意外と船内は寒い!羽織るもの必要!

I was a bit worried because it rained the day before, but on the day itself, it was sunny and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea. Thank you very much.
前日が雨だったので少し心配してましたが、当日は晴れていてとってもきれいな海を楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございました。

Upon entering, I simply presented the voucher at the reception, and I was guided without any issues. The dishes were just the right amount—not too many, and certainly not too few—and I enjoyed the familiar flavors as always.
入店時にバウチャーを受け付けで提示するだけで、問題なくご案内いただけました。
お料理も多すぎることなく、もちろん少なすぎるわけでもなく、いつもながらのお味で楽しめました。
If you print the voucher and have it ready to hand over, everything will be handled smoothly.

I participated with excitement, knowing that whales come to the waters off Hawaii only during the winter months for calving and raising their young. I was able to see the baby whales a few times! However, they were far away and small, and it was just for a moment, so if I could wish for more, I would have loved to see them even more. Nevertheless, the weather was great, and the cruise itself was very comfortable, allowing me to have the best time. Thank you to all the staff!
鯨が出産、子育てにハワイ沖に来る冬の時期だけということで、ワクワクしながら参加しました。
赤ちゃんを何度か見ることができました!でも遠くて小さい、しかも一瞬なので、欲を言えばもっともっと見たかったです。
ですがお天気もよく、クルーズ自体がとても快適で、最高の時間を過ごすことができました。スタッフのみなさん、ありがとう!
Since I tend to get seasick, I took some motion sickness medication before boarding, but the boat was large and stable, so I had no issues at all. I might not have needed the medication after all.
船酔いするタイプのため酔い止めを飲んで挑みましたが、船が大きく安定していて全く問題ありませんでした。酔い止めはいらなかったかもしれません。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the observation of the baby whale (we hope you can see them even closer and more frequently next time). Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

This was my third trip to Hawaii, and for the first time, I participated in a solo trip. The large bus arrived right on time at the Sheraton hotel 🚌. This time, the tour was made up entirely of international guests.
When we boarded the Star of Honolulu, the captain welcomed us. There was a photo opportunity with the crew as we entered the ship. Later, the crew developed the photos and offered them for sale. I think it was around $26. Many people chose not to buy them, but I purchased one as a keepsake. By the way, they only accept credit cards.
Once on board, I quickly enjoyed some drinks and light snacks. There was a booklet with explanations about whales in Japanese, which I skimmed through, followed by an explanation from the captain about the whales. As the ship set sail, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was absolutely wonderful.
After a while, the captain announced over the intercom, "There are whales at the direction of ◯ o'clock (in English)," and everyone hurriedly pointed their cameras to look. Fortunately, we encountered a mother and calf whale. It was a bit disappointing that we only saw them spouting water and didn’t get to see any larger movements, but just being able to encounter them was great. I made sure to capture it on video.
We were blessed with beautiful weather, making it the best cruising experience!
ハワイ渡航歴3回目にして、初めてひとり旅で参加。シェラトンのホテルまで大型バスが時間きっちり到着🚌
今回は海外の方ばかりのツアーでした。
スターオブホノルル号乗船の時に船長が出迎え。
船内に入る際にクルーから記念撮影があります。
後でクルーが現像してくれて販売してくれます。たしか26$だったかな。
買わない人が多かったですが、私は記念に購入。
ちなみにクレジットカードのみです。
船内に入って早速飲み物と軽食をいただきました。日本語のクジラの説明などが書いた冊子がありさらっと読んだ後、船長からクジラに関する説明。
船が出航し、海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもよかったです。
しばらくすると、船長が船内放送で「◯時の方向にクジラがいます(英語)」と放送されるとみんな慌ててカメラを向けて探します。
運良く親子のクジラに遭遇できました。
今回は潮吹きだけで、大きい仕草を見れなかったのは残念でしたが、遭遇できただけでもよかったです。
しっかり動画に収めました。
お天気にも恵まれ最高のクルージングになりました。
