All Reviews for For 4 Year Olds

I had given up on making a reservation through the official booking site, but then I found this tour and signed up. Since I didn't have a rental car, it was really helpful that they provided transportation to the hotel. The rental equipment was properly arranged, and the driver was a fun person, which was great.

公式予約サイトで予約が取れなかったので諦めていたところ、こちらのツアーを見つけて申し込みました。
レンタカーしていなかったので、ホテルに送迎してもらえて本当に助かりました。
レンタル道具もキチンとあり、ドライバーさんも楽しい方で良かったです。

First, before departure, we enjoyed drinks and delicious cake, followed by an explanation from the captain, and soon after, we set sail. As soon as we departed, I went up to the deck and was greeted by the stunning views of Waikiki that are usually not visible. With explanations from the captain in Japanese, we were able to see whales about five times from various angles: the front of the boat, the port side, and the starboard side. It was a quick two hours that flew by.

まず、出航前にドリンクと美味しいケーキ、そして船長からの説明があり、程なくすると出航です。
出航してからすぐにデッキにあがり、普段見ることができないワイキキの景色が目に入ります。船長からの説明および日本語で説明を受け、船の前方、左舷、右舷様々な角度からクジラを５回ほどみることができました。
アッとゆう間の２時間でした。

The wind felt nice, and the sea was incredibly beautiful, but the main dolphin watching only allowed us to see them small and far away. The canoe group from another tour got much closer to them. I was really looking forward to it, so it was a bit disappointing. The time spent watching dolphins was short, and most of the time was spent snorkeling, but since we were swimming in deep water, there were hardly any fish, so it felt like there was no need to go on the tour just to swim.

The staff were very cheerful and wonderful, and the final "Harasho" was fun. However, I ordered some products from a Japanese staff member on the bus, but when I realized I hadn’t received them after getting on the boat, I informed them. They told me to wait a bit because it was shooting time, and when it seemed like they weren't in a hurry to get it, they later asked how I would like to pay. I was like, "Well, I already bought it..." The impression I got was that the Japanese staff were kind to those who ordered commemorative photos, but not so much otherwise.

風は気持ち良かったし、海ももっても綺麗でしたが、メインのイルカウォッチングは遠くに小さく見えるだけ、別のツアーのカヌーの方達はとっても近くまで行っていました。
楽しみにして行ったので、少し残念でした。
イルカを見る時間も短く、ほとんどの時間がシュノーケリングでしたが、深いところで泳ぐので、魚もほとんどいなくて、わざわざツアーで泳ぐ必要はなかったなといった感じでした。

スタッフの皆さんはとっても明るくて素敵で、最後のハラショーも楽しかったです。
ただ、バスで日本人スタッフの方に商品を注文したのですが、船にのってから受け取るはずがもらっていないことに途中で気づいて伝えると、撮影時間だということもありちょっと待ってくださいといわれ、急いで撮りに行く気配がないとおもったら、ひと段落ついてからお支払いはどうしますか？と、
いやもう買ってますけど、、となりました。
日本人スタッフの方は、記念撮影を注文した方には親切だけど、、という印象でした

I participated with my 4 and 6-year-old children. I was worried they might not enjoy it since they are so young, but they seemed to have a great time seeing lots of dolphins and riding on a boat that we usually don't get to ride on! They were especially excited about the tattoo stickers they got at the end, which they had been looking forward to even before we went! They lasted for three days even after taking a bath, so it was a bit challenging to remove them (laughs).

As for snorkeling, it seemed difficult for them to breathe through the snorkel, so they quickly came back up from the water. I think I would like to try that again when they are older! They ended up going down the slide by themselves, and they had so much fun that they went down three times! (laughs) Also, they loved the lemonade they could drink on the boat, and since returning home, they've started drinking lemonade regularly!

The crew members were very kind, and we had a truly wonderful experience. Thank you!

4歳6歳の子どもと一緒に参加させていただきました。
子どもたちが小さかったので楽しめるか心配でしたがたくさんのイルカがみれたり、普段乗ることのない船に乗ったりととても楽しかったようです！
特に最後に貼ってもらえるタトゥーシールは行く前から楽しみにしてたのもありすごく喜んでました！！
お風呂に入っても3日は余裕でもってたので剥がすとき少し大変でした（笑）

肝心のシュノーケリングはシュノーケルをつけて口呼吸するということが難しかったようで一瞬で海からあがりました。
これはまた大きくなったら再チャレンジしたいなと思います！
なのでスライダーは自分ひとりで滑ることになりましたがとっても楽しく3回も滑りました！笑
あと子どもたちが船で飲めるレモネードを気に入って帰国してからもレモネード飲むようになりました！

クルーのみなさんもとても優しく本当にいい体験をさせていただきました。
ありがとうございました！

The first time I couldn't see any whales, but I received a return ticket and went back later for a second chance. That day, I spotted a whale as soon as I boarded, which was great!

初めての時はクジラが見られなく、再上船券を頂き後日リベンジ、その日は乗船してすぐにクジラ発見よかったです。

The weather was great on the day of the trip. It seems that the mountains can sometimes experience rain compared to the town, but we had clear skies throughout the entire journey! (Though the water volume was a bit low...)

Climbing up and down was excellent exercise!

The lunch sandwiches were exquisite! And the view of the town from Tantalus Lookout was amazing! The guide was also very kind, and if I have the chance, I would like to consider participating in other programs offered by the same company!

当日は天気が良く恵まれました。山は町に比べて雨が降ることがあるらしく、全行程快晴！（その分水量がちょっと少ない…）

登って降りて、とても良い運動になります！

ランチのサンドイッチも絶品！　そしてタンタラスの丘からの町の景色は最高でした！
ガイドさんも親切で、機会があれば同社のほかのプログラムも参加検討したいです！

This is my third time. I always participate in the program where I can touch dolphins, but this time I stayed by the poolside (the previous two times I went into the pool).

I got to see the dolphins. Since I was by the poolside, I didn't need to change clothes, which was convenient.

I would love to go again if I have the chance! (The garlic shrimp was delicious.)

今回は3回目。いつもイルカに触れるプログラムに参加していますが、今回はプールサイドから（過去2回はプールの中に入るもの）。

会えました、イルカ。プールサイドからなので着替えは要らないし楽でした。

また機会があれば行きたい！
（ガーリックシュリンプ美味しかった）

I arranged for a pickup to the port, making the travel easy.

After the ship set sail, I enjoyed the view from the boat and thought, "I wonder if they'll come out today? When will they come out?" I had seen something like a spout once, so I was hopeful, but they didn't show up for a while. Just when I thought it was over, they jumped out in succession.

I'm really glad I got to see them. I appreciate the captain for extending the trip a bit since they came out towards the end!

港まで送迎付きにして楽に移動。
船が出航してしばらくは船からの景色を楽しみ、「今日は出てきてくれるかな？　いつ出てきてくれるのかな？」なんて思っていました。
一度潮吹き、のようなものを見たので期待しつつも、その後もなかなか出てきてくれず、最後ダメかなと思ったら、連続でジャンプしてくれました。

とにかく見られて良かったです。
最後の方に連続だったので、少し運行を伸ばしてくれた船長さんに感謝！

Thank you very much.
I made wonderful memories.
I saw whales about eight times in total... I wish I could have seen them a bit closer.
I was very happy to see dolphins and sea turtles as well.
The meeting place was a bit hard to find, and I would have liked to go closer to Diamond Head if possible.

ありがとうございました
素敵な思い出ができました
くじらは全部で８回くらい・・・もう少し近くでみれるとよかったですが
イルカと海がめもみれたのでとてもうれしかったです
集合場所がわかりにくかったのと
できればダイアモンドヘッドの近くまで行ければと思いました

We celebrated my birthday on this sunset cruise. It was a well organized event. Wonderful entertainment and the food was excellent. Our table was on the side of stage so we did not have the best view for picture taking. So much fun, beautiful views, I highly recommend.

The underwater scenery is great, but I was moved by being able to see the diving and surfacing up close. Since submarines are long, the view of the seabed differs from the front to the back. If you're confident in your English, it's better to be near the guide.

海底も良いが、潜水、浮上が近くで見ることができて感動した。潜水艦は長いので前方と後方では海底の景色が異なる。英語に自信があるなら、説明者の近くが良い。

There was a meeting point about a 10-minute walk from the hotel where I was staying. I was able to reach the meeting point relatively smoothly. Once on the submarine, I was able to see sea fish and a sunken ship, which made for a very satisfying experience.

宿泊していたホテルから歩いて10分位のところに待ち合わせ場所がありました。比較的スムーズに待ち合わせ場所までたどり着くことができました。潜水艦に乗ると海の魚や沈没船を見ることができ、大満足の体験となりました。

I didn't get seasick, perhaps because there were no waves. I also enjoyed the scenery of Waianae. Since it takes quite a while to navigate to the whale watching point, it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take medication beforehand. Check-in is just before departure, so if you arrive early, there’s nothing to do while waiting.

波がなかったせいか、船酔いはしませんでした　ワイアナエの景色も堪能
クジラのポイントまではかなり航行しますので、船酔いしやすい方は薬を飲んで行った方が良いです
出航間際にチェックインです　早く行くと待ち時間まで何もすることありません

I took a special By One Get One ticket deal for the early bird whale watching tour and it was phenomenal. We had the pleasure of standing by the naturalist, Alyssa for most of the trip and she was very informative and a joy to be around. We saw a momma and her calf breach, and several fluke tail breach’s. The star itself had a ton of space to allow families to spread out and was clean. What a great experience!

My family and I had a great time during the tour and enjoyed all the places we visited, except the Dole plantation which we think they should take out of the tour and visit Haleiwa town instead.
Our guide, Kainoa, was fantastic. He knows a lot about the history of Hawaii.

The Star of Honolulu crew knows exactly what they are doing. The night before our trip they called to ensure that we knew exactly where to begin our adventire. At 200 feet, the Star is steady in the morning sea. The crew is knowledgeable and helpful. We were given a brief lesson in whale anatomy, diet, and behavior before we set out. We understood the challenges and likely outcomes of our trip. We did see whales. We would have liked to have seen more, but we were well prepared for the visit we received. This was a a grest start to our vacation

Captain Bob's was great and the crew was fantastic. Volleyball on the sand bar was so much fun!

The pick-up and drop-off to the hotel were handled by a reliable driver, which gave me peace of mind. The goggles, snorkel, and float wetsuit I borrowed were also easy to use. I am very satisfied.

お迎えも返りのホテルまでの送りも、あんしんしまかせられる良いドライバーでした。
お借りしゴーグル、シュノーケル、フロートウエットスーツも、使いやすかったです。
大満足です。

It was the best time we have had. Learned a lot about how they grow pineapple 🍍

I visited during the off-season. Overall, it was not crowded, and there were plenty of beach beds available. My child was too scared to go on the slides, so it ended up being a bit pricey in terms of cost performance, but I would recommend it if you can enjoy the various types of slides.

The lazy river has a gentler current compared to Japan, so it might feel a bit lacking. The wave pool had so many floaties that they ran out.

A Japanese staff member assisted with entry, which was very helpful and easy to understand.

オフシーズンに利用しました。
全体的に空いていて、ビーチベッドも十分使えました。子どもが怖がってスライダーに行けなかったので、コスパとしては高くつきましたが、いろんな種類のスライダーを楽しめるのならおすすめです。

流れるプールは流れが日本よりもゆったりしているので物足りないかもしれません。波の出るプールは浮き輪が足りなくなるくらいでした。

日本人のスタッフの方が入場のお手伝いをしてくださり、わかりやすかったです。

As soon as we boarded, we had banana bread and coffee. It was really delicious! We were able to see whales about four times. They were a bit far away, though!

乗船してすぐにバナナブレッド、コーヒーをいただきました。すごくおいしかったです！
クジラは4回ほど見ることができました。遠目ではありましたが、、！

What a great night the staff and cast were so kind. It was very entertaining. My nine-year-old said it was the best night she had in Hawaii highly recommend.

Have our own private table and food was good. Have freedom to go topside and had our dinner for the fire works. Second time doing this and would do it again.

This was a very enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Getting to see whales was the icing on the top of a scenic and informative trip.

All of the staff on the boat, from the Captain to the servers were all very nice, accommodating and service minded. Joshua did a great job answering questions and adding nuggets of knowledge about the trip. The ship was in great condition and prepared for the cruise, and it made for a very relaxing and comfortable voyage.

Unfortunately, we didn’t see any whales on this tour, but as a fisherman, I understand the difference between fishing and catching, and sometimes the fish just aren’t cooperating and ya just need to relax and enjoy the beauty. But, the most important thing is, as Larry Fleet says in the song “Where I Find God”, “you can’t find Peace Like this in a bottle or a pill”.

I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, and if we see a whale, that would just be lagniappe!

Ashlyn was a great tour guide! Pointed out many animals and very knowledgeable and so funny!

First of all, I was worried because I can't speak English, but as soon as I arrived at the airport, the English-speaking guide approached me, which made me feel at ease. They took us around Kauai Island in a large bus. There were so many highlights, and everything was moving. Perhaps because we were able to share such wonderful views, by the time we were leaving, I had become friends with everyone, and it was sad to say goodbye. This is a tour where you can have a great time even if you're traveling alone!

まず、英語が話せないので英語ガイドさんは不安でしたが空港に着いたらすぐに声をかけてくださって安心しました。大きなバスでカウアイ島を案内してくださいます。
見どころたっぷりで全部が感動でした。
ステキな景色を共有できた為か
帰る頃には、皆さんと仲良くなりお別れが残念でした。
ひとり旅でも楽しく過ごせるツアーです♪

I had previously used the Star of Honolulu for the sunset dinner cruise, but this was my first time participating in another activity. I was able to see whales from a distance. Even if you don't understand English, they provide simple explanations like "at 3 o'clock," so there's not much to worry about.

From the boat, I could enjoy the urban skyline of Waikiki alongside the natural beauty of Diamond Head, which truly felt like a Hawaiian landscape. The light snacks, like pineapple banana bread and Kona coffee, were delicious, making this activity enjoyable both as a whale watching experience and simply as a cruise.

スターオブホノルルはサンセットディナークルーズで利用したことはありましたが、それ以外のアクティビティで参加するのは初めてでした。
クジラは少し遠目からですが見ることができました。英語がわからなくても◯時の方向と簡潔に説明してくれるのであまり心配はありません。
船上から見るワイキキの都会的なビル群とダイヤモンドヘッドの大きな自然の部分がハワイらしい景色を感じることができました。
軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドやコナコーヒーもおいしく、ホエールウォッチングの体験としても、シンプルにクルーズ体験としてもとても楽しめたアクティビティでした。

The show was entertaining and the Chief is so funny!!!

We participated with four adults and a 0-year-old and a 3-year-old, bringing a foldable stroller. The elevator was available, so moving to the deck was not an issue, but we couldn't change diapers (we used the stroller to do that). The stroller was necessary for our subsequent plans, but we could leave our belongings at the table we were initially guided to, so it was great that it didn't get in the way while watching the whales.

I thought seeing the whales was completely a matter of luck, but in February, we were fortunate to see them! Two whales happened to swim back and forth quite close to the surface multiple times, allowing us to capture them with our eyes, not just on video or in photos, which was lucky! The captain announced in English, "They're at 10 o'clock!" or "Look to the 9 o'clock direction!" and we moved based on that and hints from those around us. There was one person who could speak a little Japanese, so for those who are not confident in English, it might be a good idea to stick with that person. By the way, my family also saw dolphins and turtles… I'm envious!

The guides on the way there and back were English speakers and very cheerful. Especially on the way back, they were flexible, changing our drop-off point and accepting requests for unexpected stops. Since the tour ended before noon, I was thinking about going to Ala Moana Shopping Center afterward, but I was unsure how to get there. However, I learned that it was possible to get off the bus along the way, which I wanted to take advantage of, but due to various circumstances, we ended up getting off at our hotel.

I want to come back again when the kids are older!

0歳3歳大人4人、折り畳めるベビーカー持参で参加しました。エレベーター完備なので、デッキへの移動は問題ないのですが、おむつ替えは出来ませんでした(ベビーカーを使って換えました)。その後の予定のために必要だったベビーカーですが、最初に案内されるテーブルに荷物を置いて行けるので、鯨を観る時には邪魔にならず良かったです。

鯨は完全に運だとは思いましたが、流石に2月！しっかり会えました。たまたま2頭が結構近くの海面を何度も行ったり来たりしてくれたお陰で、ビデオや写真だけに追われず肉眼でも捉える事ができて、ラッキーでした！船長さんが、10時にいるよ！とか9時方向だ！とか英語でアナウンスしてくれるのと、周りの人をヒントに移動しました。お一人、日本語が少し話せる方もいたので、英語苦手な方はその方にくっついていくのもありかもです。
ちなみに、私の家族はイルカとカメも見たとの事…羨ましい

行き帰りは英語のガイドさん。行きも帰りも、陽気な方達でした。特に帰りは、降りる場所を変更してくれたり、予定外の停車場所もリクエスト受け付けてくれたりと、臨機応変に対応していました。ツアーが昼前に終わるので、その後はアラモアナショッピングセンターでと考えていましたが、どうやって行くか悩んでいました。でも、バスの途中下車が可能との事でこちらを上手く活用…したかったのですが、色々あって結局自分達のホテルで降りました。

子供が大きくなったらまた来てあげたいです！
