【冬季限定！1/3～3/21】ホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号　1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船！軽食＆ドリンク付き＜ワイキキ送迎可＞

The cruise was amazing, the shuttle bus was great, the whales were... クルーズ最高、送迎バス最高、クジラは…

Reviewed by: Poodle

It was a nice day with good weather.
I used the shuttle bus, and the driver, Chris, was very kind. The bus was large, clean, and comfortable to ride.
During the bus ride, we could watch a video explaining the ship and safety instructions in both English and Japanese.
The service from the cruise staff was also very good.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but we received a voucher for a free ride, so I would like to try again.

天気も良く気持ちいい日でした。
送迎バスを利用しましたが、ドライバーのクリスさんとても親切な方でした。バスは大型で綺麗で乗り心地もよかったです。
バスで移動中、ビデオによる船内の説明と安全に関する説明を英語と日本語で見ることができます。
クルーズスタッフの方々のサービスもとてもよかったです。
肝心なクジラは残念ながら見ることができませんでしたが、リベンジ乗船券をいただいたので再挑戦したいと思います。

My 1 year and 9 month old child also got seasick. 1歳9ヶ月の子供も船酔いしてました

Reviewed by: もんもん

The day we experienced was a rough day at sea, and even though it was a very large ship, it rocked quite a bit. Wandering around the deck was somewhat better, but still, my child seemed to get seasick and ended up sleeping on the sofa partway through. We saw whales closer than we expected, and we also spotted dolphins. The tour itself was enjoyable, but I think it's a good idea for participants to bring motion sickness medication just in case.

体験した日は海が大荒れの日でとても大きな船だったのですがよく揺れました。
デッキをうろうろしていると幾分マシでしたがそれでも子供は酔ったようで途中からソファーで寝ていました。

I participated in the tour on February 22. I added transportation to the departure, which allowed me to arrive at the boat without any confusion. Additionally, we were blessed with good weather and were able to see mother and baby whales faintly. Feeling the sea breeze, the view of Diamond Head and Honolulu from the boat was very lovely. The interior of the boat was spacious, allowing us to see Honolulu from various angles. On the return trip, I got off at the Waikiki Prince Hotel and was able to walk directly to Ala Moana Center. It was a very satisfying tour!

The day we boarded, the waves were incredible and the ship was rocking a lot. As I stared at the choppy sea, I started to feel seasick, haha. I was able to see the whale's tail and it spouting water. The dolphins also swam alongside us, which was quite a unique experience. The first mate provided a lot of explanations, and I became interested in the ecology of whales. However, it was really unfortunate how rough it was (though it's to be expected with nature). It was a large ship, but everyone was lying down on the sofa seats, making it quite a tough tour.

The Dole farm and factory were a lot of fun. The ocean was beautiful as well. For lunch, a sandwich lunch box was provided. No Japanese guidebook was handed out. However, at the Dole plantation, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese and explained important parts in Japanese (it might have been a coincidence). Additionally, the guide could speak some Japanese, so there were times when they communicated using Japanese words. During the transfers, the guide explained various things about Hawaii in English. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but I still enjoyed each of the places we visited.

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

It was grand in scale and I was very satisfied. スケールが大きくて大満足

Reviewed by: Hanon

I went with a 9-year-old girl. I was surprised by the number of impressive slides, but none of them were too scary; in fact, they felt quite nice, and the child rode them repeatedly. Since it was the off-season, there was hardly any waiting time, which was great. They were closing one slide next to another and opening the other, so there were some we couldn't ride, but they switched them around over time, so we were able to experience most of the attractions during our day there. We added a free drink option, but it was cold, and there were only carbonated drinks available, so we only consumed the water we brought with us; we didn't really need the free drink. Since we had a light appetite, it was cheaper not to include meals. In February, even wearing a rash guard, it was cold when the wind blew on our wet bodies. It was nice to have some warmth when the sun was out. I thought it was a bit odd to come all the way to Hawaii to play with artificial attractions, but I heard the child would enjoy it, and I ended up having a great time as well.

９歳の女の子と２人で行きました。結構迫力のあるスライダーが多くて、驚きましたが、どれもそれほど怖くなく、むしろ気持ちが良くて、子供は何回も繰り返し乗っていました。オフシーズンだったのでほとんど待ち時間がなかったのも良かったです。隣り合うスライダーを一つをクローズして片方をオープンする、ようにしていたので、乗れないものもありましたが、時間が経つと逆になっているので、１日滞在しているうちにはほとんどの施設を経験可能でした。フリードリンクを付けましたが、寒かったことと、飲み物は炭酸飲料くらいしかなかったので持参した水のみしか消費せず、フリードリンクはなくても良かったです。食事も少食なので付けていない方が安くすみました。２月はラッシュガードを着ても、濡れた体に風が吹くと寒かったです。日差しがあるとあたたかくて助かりました。
わざわざハワイに来て人工的なもので遊ぶのもなー、と思いつつ子供が喜ぶと聞いて来たのですが、大人も十分に楽しめました。

We participated as a couple. The hotel pick-up and drop-off was convenient. Upon arriving at the departure port, we boarded a large cruise ship, where the staff and captain provided thorough safety instructions and explained the ecology of whales and viewing points. Then, the whale watching began. Since it was a large ship, we were satisfied just enjoying the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from offshore while cruising steadily. Once we reached the spot, we were able to see the whales' backs and spouts several times, and I thought it was a great experience.

夫婦で参加いたしました。ホテルまで送迎があり便利でした。出発地点の港に到着すると、大きなクルーズ船に乗り込み、スタッフやキャプテンの安全の説明やくじらの生態や見るポイントなどを丁寧に説明がされたあとに、くじらホエールウォッチングが始まりました。大型船なので安定した走行の中で沖合からワイキキの街並みとダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるだけでも満足。スポットに到達すると、くじらの背中と潮吹きを何度か見ることができ、良い体験ができたと思いました。

The guides for this tour are all American, so if you don't understand English, you won't be able to enjoy it 100%. There is a Japanese audio guide available, but the guides tell a lot of jokes, so understanding them will enhance your experience.
The submarine is anchored offshore, and you will take a shuttle boat to get there. There are restrooms on the shuttle boat, so please take care of that before boarding.
At a depth of 30 meters, you can see the wreckage of fighter planes and sunken ships. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming above the sunken ship. The course lasts 40 minutes, but it goes by in no time. It seems that the sea is less murky in the morning.

水深30mmで潜ると、戦闘機の残骸や沈没船が見れます。今回ラッキーなことにウミガメが沈没船の上を泳いでいました。40分のコースですが、あっという間に終了します。午前中の方が海は濁ってないみたいです。

I couldn't meet a whale. クジラに会えなかったぁ

Reviewed by: cococooky

I participated in the tour on February 9th. This was my third time joining this tour. The first two tours were in January, and I was very satisfied and enjoyed both, seeing whales with their young, very large tails, and spouting water. This time, I was drawn in by the "second person free" offer, but compared to the calm sailing I experienced before, the wind was strong and the boat rocked quite a bit. I thought I wouldn't need motion sickness medication based on my previous experiences, so I participated without taking any, which made me quite worried about getting seasick. My sister was also not in a state to go out on the deck, so she sat in a chair placed in the aisle on the second floor of the boat. Surprisingly, this spot turned out to be a hidden gem, as no one stood in front of us and there was nothing obstructing our view, allowing us to sit and enjoy the scenery until the end. Since I was sitting on the right side of the boat, at first, I could only see the endless horizon, the large, crashing waves, and small boats that looked like they might sink, which made me a bit anxious. However, on the way back to the port, the view of Diamond Head and the hotels in Waikiki spread out before us, and I naturally ended up taking a lot of photos. Although we didn't encounter any whales this time, the view of the Waikiki hotels from the sea is something you don't get to see often, so I recommend experiencing it at least once. Since we didn't see any whales, there will be ticket distribution for the next time, but it's only in English, so please be careful not to miss it.

2/9のツアーに参加しました。このツアーの参加は３回目になります。２回のツアーは１月でした。子供を連れたクジラやとても大きな尾ひれ、吹き上がる潮など2回ともとても満足で楽しめました。今回は2人目無料に惹かれて再びの参加でしたが、今までの穏やかな航行に比べて風も強く揺れも強く踏ん張ってもふらつくほどで、今までの経験から酔い止めは必要ないと思っていましたので飲むことなく参加してしまい船酔いしないかととても心配でした。妹もとてもデッキに出る状態ではなかったので2階の船の通路に置かれている椅子に座っていましたが、案外とこの場所が穴場で前に人が立つことなく遮るものも無かったので、最後まで座って景色を見ることができました。船の右側に座っていたので初めはどこまでも続く水平線や大きく波打ち荒れるボートや沈んでしまいそうな小舟ばかりが目に入り少し不安でしたが、港に戻る航路にはダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキのホテル群が広がって自然と写真を撮りまくっていました。今回はクジラには出会えませんでしたが海から眺めるワイキキのホテル群はなかなか見れない景色なので一度体験してみてください。クジラに会えなかったので次回のチケット配布がありますが英語のみなので聞き逃さないように気を付けてください。

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Awesome way to spend a morning in Oahu

Reviewed by: Z_Morgenstern

As the title says, it's an awesome way to spend a morning in Oahu! (Feb 2024)

We arrived early to self park and upon boarding we're guided to the main lower deck for a brief introduction and instructions. The Star of Honolulu was spacious with several decks, allowing options for guests as to how they want to go about the whale watching experience. Our group stayed on the second deck, not too many people went there (we think, as compared to the top deck).

Kaitlyn, our naturalist, was entertaining - lots of dad jokes* - and information about the wildlife in the area (whales, dolphins, etc).

Finally the highlight of the tour, the whale sighting! We were very lucky to be able to witness a mama whale teaching her baby whale how to breach! It was so fun and amazing to watch them play around in the water. That's sure to be an unforgettable experience. It was good timing too that we visited Hawaii during peak whale watching season.

Other points I'd like to mention:
- The restroom was clean and had a lot of stalls, so you wouldn't have to worry.
- The crew also mentioned that they had ginger chews to help if you're feeling a bit seasick.
- Food & drinks are available to purchase onboard.
- I was rather a bit worried that the life vests were only available inside the benches on the main deck (iirc). I think it might be good to make sure there are life vests in other areas of the boat as well in case of emergency. Not everyone on the upper decks might be able to come down the stairs. Or maybe I'm just being a worrywart, don't mind me.

*KRILL-ed cheese was my favorite joke. :D
