Oahu
We went out to sea to board a submarine, but on the day of the trip, the waves were high, and my wife ended up with severe seasickness. According to her, "I didn't have any opportunity to see the fish at all..." Personally, I found it to be a simple yet enjoyable experience of boarding a submarine, and the fish were beautiful. I was very happy to see a turtle swimming.
潜水艦に乗るために、沖合へ出るのですが、当日は波が高かったせいか、妻がひどい船酔いになってしまいました。本人曰く、「全く魚などを見る余裕はなかった・・・」との事でした。
個人的には潜水艦の乗艦を簡易的に体験できるし、魚もきれいでした。泳いでいる亀を見ることが出来たのはとても嬉しかったです。
Thank you for your review! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time exploring the marine life in Hawaii. We are glad you had a fun time adventuring with us. Please join us again soon. Thank you!
レビューのマハロ!ハワイの海洋生物を探索する時間を楽しんでくださったことをとても嬉しく思います。あなたが私たちと一緒に冒険する楽しい時間を過ごしてくれてうれしいです。またすぐにご参加ください。マハロ!
I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. I'm prone to motion sickness, so I prepared by bringing a bag for vomiting, but I ended up not needing it. There were plenty of bags for vomiting inside the submarine, but it hardly swayed, so I didn't feel nauseous. I saw three turtles and two sharks. It's all about luck, really.
潜水艦まで行く船で酔いました。元々酔いやすいので覚悟はして嘔吐用の袋をもって行きましたが使用せずにすみました。
潜水艦の中に嘔吐用の袋が沢山ありましたが、ほとんど揺れないので気持ち悪くなりませんでした。
亀は3匹、鮫は2匹みられました。
こればっかしは運ですね。
Thank you for the review!
レビューのマハロ!
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。
Prompt service to and from the pick up site! Driver even called to confirm I was present. Wow! Great host and service. Thank you for your time and insight in the journey!
We went as a group of ten, and we were all guided together, with many staff members who spoke Japanese, which made for a fulfilling experience. It rained partway through, but they still made sure we could enjoy ourselves, and it was a lot of fun! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. ^ ^
10人という団体で行きましたが、みんなまとめて案内してくださったり、日本語のできるスタッフがたくさんいたり、と充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
途中で雨が降りましたが、それでも私たちが楽しめるように盛り上げてくださり、とても楽しかったです!
また機会があれば参加したいです^ ^
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。
I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience being on a submarine. It was great to see sea turtles. There weren't any surprising events, but you can enjoy a relaxed time.
潜水艦に乗る機会はあまりないので経験できてよかったです。ウミガメが見れたので良かったです。ほかはびっくりするようなイベントは有りませんがゆったりとした時間を味あえます。
Thank you for the review! I was happy to see the sea turtles! Enjoy your underwater adventures again soon.
レビューのマハロ!ウミガメを見たのは嬉しいです!すぐにまた海底での冒険をお楽しみください。
Meeting Teacher Dolphin and Professor Turtle was wonderful, and the smiles from Maki and the staff, along with this rainbow! It was the best day ever.
イルカ先生にカメ教授に出会えたことはもちろん、マキさんやスタッフの笑顔に、こんな虹まで❗最高の1日でした。
The two guides were fun to talk to and explained various plants. It was much more enjoyable to climb together than to do it alone. The lunch we had at Kapiolani Park on the way back was also delicious. Thank you, Jimmy! I definitely want to participate again.
ガイドのお2人の話が楽しく、いろいろな植物を説明してくれます。自分たちで登るよりもワイワイ楽しく登れます。帰りにカピオラニ公園で食べたランチも美味しかったです。ジミーさんありがとう!またぜひ参加したいです。
I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. However, the weather for the cruising was perfect, so I felt good.
クジラが見えなかったことが残念でした。しかしクルージングには最高の天気だったので、気分は良かったです。
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。
We had the perfect day to Watch Whales and go to see several in the bay. Great Cruise and Crew and the Buffet Lunch was pretty tasty.
I used to go every summer, but this time I went in winter for the first time. It was nice that it wasn't crowded, but two of the rides I wanted to go on were closed. On top of that, maybe because there were few staff, some facilities were closed at certain times. Even though I paid a lot of money to go, it was disappointing.
毎年夏には行ってましたが、今回初めて冬に、行きました。
すいてるのは良かったのですが、乗りたかったのは、二つもclosed。
その上、店員が少ないせいか、やってる施設も時間によってclosed。
高いお金を払って行ってもあれでは。
On the day of the trip, the weather was nice and the waves were calm, so neither the ferry nor the submarine rocked. The underwater visibility in Hawaii was excellent, allowing us to see far into the distance. By chance, we were able to see three sea turtles, which was great. It might have been coincidental, but during the early hours, there were many Japanese tourists, so the main guide conducted the tour primarily in Japanese. I appreciated that the staff discreetly explained to the few non-Japanese passengers before boarding that the main guide would be in Japanese.
当日は天気が良く波が静かで、渡し船も潜水艇も揺れませんでした。ハワイの海底は、透明度が非常によく遠くまで見ることが出来ました。偶然にも、海亀を3匹見ることが出来よかったです。たまたまかもしれませんが、早い時間帯は日本人が多いのでガイドもメインは日本語でした。スタッフが日本人以外の少数派に、乗船前にメインのガイドは日本語でやることをこっそり説明しており好感できます。
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed your time with us. Please join us for another cruise soon. Mahalo!
アロハ!あなたの経験を共有していただきありがとうございます、私たちとあなたの時間を楽しんでくれてうれしいです。すぐに別のクルーズにご参加ください。マハロ!
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.
We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching on the first day of the season.
Please do come again if you have the opportunity.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
Star of Honolulu
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
今シーズン初日クジラの観測をお楽しみ頂けず、大変残念に思います。
是非また機会があればお越し下さい。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

I participated on the first day of the season. I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. It was disappointing since the kids were also looking forward to it, but I understand that it's all about luck. If I have the chance to come back in winter, I would like to try again.
シーズン初めての日に参加しました。
楽しみにしていましたがクジラを見ることができませんでした。こればっかりは運もあるので仕方がなかったのですが、子供達も楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
冬に来る機会があればリベンジしたいと思います。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are sorry that the whales did not appear. We sincerely hope you will join us again. Thank you very much for this time.
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した。鯨が姿を現さずに残念です。また、ぜひ乗船していただけるのを心より祈っております。今回は本当にありがとうございました。
Dolphins swam leisurely right beneath us. We were able to see turtles up close, and at the snorkeling point, the coral was more alive than I expected⭐︎ The staff were kind, and we enjoyed a hula dance as well. I would love to participate again.
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.
イルカが私たちの真下でゆったりと泳いで行きました。亀も至近距離で見られたし、シュノーケルポイントでは思ったより珊瑚が生きていまいました⭐︎
スタッフの方も親切で、フラダンスも楽しませて頂きました。
また参加したいです。
一つ残念だったのは、海の環境に悪い為スプレータイプの日焼け止めは使わないで下さいという説明があったにも関わらず気にせず使われているお客様がいた事です。ハワイの美しい海を守るため、利用者にはルールを守ってもらいたいです。
I had a decent time, but it was a bit disappointing that many attractions were closed. Still, I arrived before the opening and was able to make good use of my time by enjoying the slides in the morning. It wasn't as crowded as pools in Japan. The wave pool is quite intense, so be careful with small children! My child seemed to hit their head on the bottom and was crying. Also, since ID is required for alcohol, it's better to bring your passport.
それなりに楽しめましたが、クローズしてるアトラクションが多く少し残念でした。
それでも開場前に到着し、午前の間にスライダーなどをやって時間を有効に使えました。日本のプールみたいに激混みすることもありません。
波のプールはかなり激しいので、小さなお子様は気をつけましょう!うちの子は底で頭を打ったらしく泣いていました。
あとお酒などでIDが必要なのでパスポートは持って行ったほうがいいでしょう。
I signed up for the tour at the last minute the day before. Although Manoa Falls was under construction and we went to an alternative location, I was able to enjoy a lovely time walking through a botanical garden filled with rare flowers while also seeing the waterfall. Both the driver and the guide were fun and attentive, and there was an American couple who alternated explanations in English and Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. We also had lunch in the park, and perhaps because the weather was nice, it tasted even better.
前日に急遽申し込み参加しました。マノア滝が工事中で代替地になりましたが珍しい花が咲く植物園を散策しながら滝も見れてとても気持ちの良い時間を過ごすことが出来ました。運転手さんもガイドさんも楽しく気配りが有りアメリカ人のご夫婦がいらして英語と日本語を交互に
説明してくれ充分楽しめました。ランチも公園の中で頂き、天気も良かったせいかいっそう美味しく感じました。
My son also became my number one memory from the trip to Hawaii. I want to go again when I visit Hawaii. The scale is just different! It's something you can't experience in Japan.
息子もハワイ旅行の1番の思い出になりましたー。ハワイに行ったらまた行きたいです。とにかくスケールが違う!日本では体験出来ません。
Although it wasn't overly expensive, the restaurant had a luxurious appearance, and the dishes that were served were thoughtful and delicious.
By the way, the menu included:
Appetizer: Seasonal small chilled soup, salad with papaya from Ka'u, tomato, burrata cheese, and San Daniele prosciutto
Pasta: Pomodoro with ripe tomatoes from Hawaii, served with fresh basil and handmade fettuccine
Main: Grilled prime beef tenderloin with a variety of seasonal vegetables and balsamic sauce
Dessert: Small tiramisu & Italian gelato
Coffee
Each dish was elegantly portioned, but I was more than satisfied.
とっても高いというわけではないのに店構えは高級で、出てくるお料理も気が利いていて、おいしかったです。
ちなみにメニューは、
前菜:季節の小さな冷製スープ、カフク産パパイア、トマト、ブラータチーズ、サンダニエーレ産生ハムのサラダ仕立て
パスタ:ハワイ産完熟トマトのポモドーロ フレッシュバジルと共に 生パスタフェットチーネ
メイン:プライム牛フィレ肉のグリル 季節の色とりどりのお野菜と共に バルサミコソース
デザート:小さなティラミス&イタリアンジェラート
コーヒー
という感じでした。
ひとつひとつは上品な量でしたが、じゅうぶんおなかいっぱいになりました。
It was worth the money.
Loved the food and the performance
Just awesome
We had a blast at the pool with lots of slides and waves. I was worried about lunch, but it wasn't as crowded as I thought, so we didn't spend too much time on it. The only downside was that several slides were out of order. If it weren't for that, it would have been perfect!
沢山のスライダーに波が出るプールと遊び倒しました。
不安だった昼食も思ったほど、混雑せず時間を取られずに済みました。
残念だったのは、複数のスライダーが故障で稼働していなかったこと。
それがなければ最高だったんですけどね〜。
I'm glad I got to see the ocean in Hawaii! I had the impression that there were many families around, and it might depend on the sea conditions, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish.
ハワイの海の中を見れてよかったです!
家族連れが多いイメージで、海のコンディションによると思うのですが、魚が少なかったのが少し残念でした。
Aloha! Thank you for your cooperation. I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't as exciting as you expected. Often, the ocean is completely unpredictable, and sightings of marine life vary by time. We look forward to your valuable feedback. Please feel free to share it with the team. Mahalo!
アロハ!ご協力いただきありがとうございます。あなたが期待していたほどエキサイティングではなかったと聞いて申し訳ありません。多くの場合、海はまったく予測不可能であり、水中生物の目撃は時間によって異なります。貴重なご意見をお待ちしております。ぜひチームで共有してください。マハロ!
I participated with my wife and two daughters, but it was quite difficult because my wife got drunk. The submarine itself is stable, but the waves while transferring from the shuttle boat to the submarine are quite intense. If you're not confident on boats, it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case. As for the tour, we were able to see sea turtles this time, and the kids were thrilled. What you can see depends on luck, though.
妻と娘二人で参加しましたが、妻が酔ってしまい大変でした。
潜水艦自体は安定しているんですが、送迎線から潜水艦に乗り移る間が水面のうねりが凄いです。
船に自信がある方以外は、念のため酔い止めを飲んで挑んだ方が良いです。
肝心のツアーですが、今回はウミガメも見れて子供達は大喜びでした。
何が見れるかは、運次第ですが。
Thank you for the review!
レビューのマハロ!
It's a famous restaurant featured in every magazine. Every dish that came out was delicious! The wine was also great. It's a place I definitely want to visit again.
どの雑誌にも出てくる名店です。出てくる料理、すべて美味しかった!ワインもすすみました。また行きたいと思えるお店です。
On the day of departure, I was surprised to receive an email saying, "Please change the time."
The person in charge responded sincerely, and I have no complaints about that, but I don't understand why there was a change. I felt inconvenienced by having to frequently check emails on-site and communicate regarding the schedule (like the pickup) on the day of the event.
I hope you will work to prevent this from happening again, and it would be helpful if, in the event of a change, we could resolve it with just one or two email exchanges.
出発日に、「時間変更してください」
とのメールが来てびっくりしました。
担当の方は、誠実に対応してくださり、不満はないのですが、
なぜ変更なのか分からず、当日のスケジュール(ピックアップなど)の問い合わせに、頻繁に現地でメールチェックし、やり取りをしなければならない等、煩わしさを感じた事は否めません。
二度とこのような事がないよう、再発防止に努めて頂きたいのと、
変更があった場合、一往復程度のメールやり取りで済むようにしていただけると助かります。
I was disappointed to find that about three attractions were not operational. Because of that, the attractions that were open had long lines, and I couldn't enjoy myself enough. There was no information or apology regarding this situation, which was quite unbelievable. It may be common in America, but to be honest, it doesn't match the price. I cannot recommend it at all.
動いていない施設が3つくらいあってガッカリでした。そのせいか動いてる施設も行列が長くて十分遊べませんでした。そのことについて案内もなければ、謝罪も無くて、ちょっと信じられない感じです。アメリカでは当たり前かもしれませんが、ハッキリ言って料金に見合わないです。とてもお勧めできません。
Very hospitable crew of 3 with a great sense of humor took us on a great evening cruise with exceptionally large waves and actually put up a sail! Loved the crew, the other passengers who were interesting, and the wonderful food from local caterer. Be prepared to leave your shoes on the dock and for some water spray and wind, but also for a great sail.
