Oahu
In reality, it was quite far, but I was satisfied to see the tails and dorsal fins of whales about five times. I think it's a great tour for parents and families. The interior of the boat was also clean.
実際には、すごく遠かったですが、5回くらいクジラの尾びれや背びれが見られ満足です。親子、ファミリーには良いツアーだと思います。
船内も綺麗でした。
Took my son for his 17th birthday to Oahu & took to the sky with this awesome bird's eye experience. I was a bit anxious of how it would feel flying so high since I usually have motion sickness but I did not have any issues doing this activity. Had a great time ... It was simply AWESOME!
The family enjoyed it very much, the staff was helpful abd informative.. plus we got to see whales abd dolphins..
At least 25 sightings some even swam under the boat. Food was also very good, and the staff were all customer focused and friendly.
I was worried because the driver could hardly speak Japanese, but he was very friendly and interesting to talk to. The parasailing itself was really fun! I also got some great photos, and the SD card was $30! I made the best memories!
運転手さんが日本語がほとんどしゃべれないということで不安だったのですが、
きさくに話してくださってとても面白く、
パラセーリング自体も本当に楽しかったです!!
写真もとってもらえて、SD カードは30ドルでした!
最高の思い出ができました!
It was my first time parasailing. The flow of suddenly putting on a life jacket and being lifted up is very American and nice, but the first person definitely needs some courage. It might be a little scary... Everyone else seemed to be enjoying the parasailing (^。^)(I was a bit scared and got motion sickness from the swaying in the air).
初めてのパラセイリングでした。いきなりライフジャケットをきて吊るされてgo!の流れがアメリカらしく良いのですが、第1号者の方は勇気が必要です。ちょっと怖いかも。。みんな気持ちよさそうにパラセイリングしていました(^。^)(私は少し怖かったです。そして、空の揺れに酔いました)
I went in mid-February. I was worried because the weather was bad when we set sail, but we were able to see whales! The weather improved along the way, so we also got to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head beautifully, which was amazing!
2月の中旬に行きました。出港した時は天気が悪く心配していたのですがちゃんとクジラを見ることが出来ました!天気も途中から良くなってきたのでワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に見れて最高でした!
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I experienced this with my 11-year-old daughter! The staff who picked us up were handsome (laughs).
In our group, there were two Japanese families and three foreign families, and everyone was in high spirits, enjoying the boat ride together. The parasailing itself was 110 meters high, but it felt very high, and we were extremely satisfied! My daughter, who was nervous until the splash in the water, was so happy and said she wanted to do it more.
Before the challenge, they asked if we wanted to take optional photos, and since we decided not to, we didn't have any taken. However, they listened to our opinions well, so I felt good about that. My daughter is saying she definitely wants to do it again! I'm also happy because I got to see her beautiful smile, making it a wonderful memory!
11歳の娘と体験しました!
迎えのお兄さんたちがイケメンで(笑)
私たちの体験した回は日本人2組、外国人3組でしたが、みんなノリがよく、ボートみんなでキャーキャーして乗った感じです。
パラセーリング自体も、110メートルでしたがとても高く感じて大満足!
お約束の水バシャーンもやってもらってチャレンジするまでドキドキだった娘はもっとやりたかったー、とものすごく喜んでいました。
チャレンジ前にオプションの写真を撮るか聞かれるので我が家は撮らなくていいと伝えたので撮ってもらっていませんが、意見をしっかりと聞いてくれるのでそこも悪い感じはせず良かったと思います。
娘はまた絶対やりたい!と言ってます♪
私も娘の最高の笑顔が観れたので嬉しい思い出になりました!
Thankyou for a wonderfull experience on this magnetic cruise - we loved it & can't wait to one day do this again !
show was awesome
meal was not the best
we included transportation from Waikiki..ambassador did no entertainment on the bus
The weather was great, and we were able to see a lot of whales in a perfect location! There were many mother and calf whales, and we were captivated by the gentle commentary in English. We also got to see spouts and jumps, which had everyone applauding! It might depend on the weather and luck, but this day was filled with both, making it one of my best memories! ✨
天気も良く、絶好のロケーションで沢山のクジラを見る事ができました!
母子クジラが多く、優しい解説のアナウンス(英語)と共に見入りました。
潮吹きやジャンプも見る事が出来て、その時は皆が拍手喝采でした(^^)
天気と運による所もあるかも知れませんが(^^;)
この日は天気も運も良く、最高の思い出の1つになりました✨
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on board when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
It was a day when the weather was a bit concerning, but it didn't rain during the tour. I was able to fully enjoy it. Towards the end, there was a heavy downpour and thunderstorms. It was an unforgettable experience. I would love to experience it again if I have the chance.
天候が、少し気になる日でしたが。ツアー中は雨降らず。堪能できました。
終了間際から豪雨。雷雨。忘れられない体験でした。また機会があればもう一度体験したいと思います。
This was my second time participating, and I'm really glad I did. If the price for the photos taken was a bit lower, I would give it the highest rating. Also, the explanation for the pickup was not very helpful, so I was quite anxious until the pickup arrived.
2回目の参加でしたが、やっぱり参加して良かったです。撮っていただいた写真がもう少し金額安ければ最高の評価になります。
あとピックアップの説明が親切でなかったので、迎えがくるまでとても不安でした。
I was ready to give up on the fire show due to the surprisingly heavy rain, but the MC said, "We can't really do this, but we still want to," and started the show, which made me happy.
Since our seats were indoors and arranged in a way that wasn't around the central stage but rather in a front-to-back order, choosing the diamond seats was the right decision. In my case, I had heard about the bad weather and how easy it is to get lost, so I arrived an hour early and got a good seat. However, even with diamond seats, it's first-come, first-served, so if you want a better seat, it's advisable to arrive early.
The show itself is conducted entirely in English, so it might be better for those who understand a bit of English or can enjoy the atmosphere. My companion wasn't very good at English, but they were really moved by the show!
ビックリするぐらいの雷雨でファイアショーは諦めていたのですがMCの方が「本当はできないけどやっぱりみたいよね」とショーを始めて下さったので私的にはハッピーでした。
席も屋内だったので、中心の舞台を囲むタイプではなく、前から順だったのでダイヤモンドにして正解でした。ただ私の場合、悪天候の事や迷いやすいという話を聞いていたので1時間前から行っていたのでいい席でしたが、いくらダイヤモンドでも早い者順なので、少しでも良い席が良いのなら早めに行くと良いかと…
ショー自体は、終始英語でのMCや案内になるので英語が多少わかるか、雰囲気を楽しめる方の方が良いかも知れないです。
実際に私の連れも英語は苦手でしたが、ショーは凄く感動してくれていたので!
I boarded on March 4th. The whale I was looking forward to seeing only showed its tail far in the distance, so I can only say I saw it once. Previously, when I saw whales on Maui, they were right in front of me, so I had high expectations, but it was disappointing to see it like that. I understood 99 percent of the meaning. If you want to see whales, you should go to Maui.
3月4日に乗船しました。楽しみにしていた鯨は、はるか遠くで一度しっぽがみえただけで見たということになりました。以前、マウイ島で見たときはすぐ目の前で見れたので、期待していたのですが、あれで見たといのは残念です。99パーセントの意味がわかりました。
鯨を見たいのであれば、マウイ島に行くべきですね。
I was picked up near the hotel, and I think it was great to participate in this tour because if we had to go on our own, it would have taken a whole day, and we wouldn't have been able to get there just by the trolley.
Also, having a Japanese guide was very helpful as I could ask about the lockers and how to enjoy the place!
We’re not very good with thrilling rides, but we rode all the slides! The available slides change depending on the time, so we took breaks to nap, sunbathe, and take photos. The scariest one was the yellow single-person tube slide that drops almost at a 90-degree angle! If you like the feeling of floating, I recommend it! The appearance, height, and speed of that slide are, in my opinion, number one!
The slide that was both scary and fun, which we rode multiple times, was the one that looks like a red bucket, where you can ride with 2 to 4 people! If there aren’t enough people, you can ride with others around you, and even if there’s a language barrier, the lifeguards will help you! The feeling of floating, the sensation of falling backward, and the thrill of knowing you’re about to drop, along with the comfort of sharing the experience with someone else, was really great!
I ended up riding it multiple times! However, climbing the stairs was a bit challenging since the slides are high up. But it wasn't too crowded, so we could ride quickly and at our own pace, which was nice! The fun of the pool, which you can't find in Japan, makes it exciting whether you go with just two people or a large group. The beautiful scenery and the Hawaiian vibe made me want to go again!
ホテルの近くまで迎えに来ていただいて
ツアーにしなければ遠くて自分たちで行くと考えると1日かかってしまったり
トロリーだけでは行けないので
タクシーなどの移動手段を考えなければ行けなかったので今回のツアーに参加出来てとても良かったと思います!!
また日本人のガイドさんがいらしたので
ロッカーの事や楽しみ方を聞くことができてとても参考になりました!!!
私たちはあまり絶叫が得意ではなかったのですが全部のスライダーに乗りました!
時間によって出来るスライダーが違うので
途中休憩してお昼寝や肌を焼いたり
写真を撮って楽しみました。
1番怖かったのは黄色いひとり用の浮き輪にのってほぼ90度で落ちるスライダーです!!
浮いた感じが好きな人はおススメですね笑
周りから叫び声が聞こえるほど見た目も
高さも速さもスライダーではNo. 1だと思います!
怖くてけど楽しくて何回も乗ったのは
赤いバケツのようなスライダーで
2〜4人で乗ります!人数が足りなかったら周りの人と乗ったり言葉が通じなくても
監視員の人が助けてくれます!!
浮く感じ、後ろから落ちる感じ、
もうすぐ落ちるって言うどきどき感
誰かと一緒にいる安心感と面白いを共有しながら出来るのが凄くいいと思いました!!
ついつい何回も乗りました!!
けどスライダーが高い所から落ちる分
階段を登るのは少し大変でした!
しかしそんなに混んでいなかったので
すぐに乗れたり自分のペースで出来たのがよかったですね!!!日本にはないプールの面白さで2人で行くのも大人数で行くのも盛り上がるし写真も撮っていて綺麗な景色、ハワイ感が出てまた行きたいと思いました!!
I took bus number 55 from Ala Moana Center, and it took about just under two hours to arrive. I checked the map for the bus stop where I needed to get off, and the driver helped me when I was getting off. There were two of us who experienced horseback riding; we had tried it about a year ago at Kualoa Ranch. This time, I chose Gunstock Ranch because they had a longer plan available. The horses were very easy to handle, and although there were times they didn't listen, the guide was quick to help. When we reached the top of the mountain, the view was stunning, and we were able to take commemorative photos, which made me very satisfied. I would love to experience this again if I have the chance! ☺︎︎
アラモアナセンターから55番のバスに乗り、到着までは約2時間弱程でした。降りるバス停は地図で確認しながら向かい、降りる時に運転手の方に教えてもらいました。乗馬体験をしたのは2人で、1年ほど前にクアロアランチで乗馬を体験しました。ガンストック牧場の方が時間が長いプランがあったので今回はこちらを選ばせていただきました。馬はとても扱いやすく、時々言うことを聞かない時がありましたが、ガイドの方がすぐにヘルプをしてくれました。山の頂上まで登ると、すごく景色が綺麗で、記念写真を撮ってもらえて大満足です。また機会があったら体験したいです☺︎︎
This time, we visited Hawaii for a wedding, so my family was with me. I thought it would be nice to show my grandmother some whales, so I decided to join the tour. According to the reviews, there were many negative comments about not being able to see any whales, so I had about 30-50% expectations, but we were able to see them over and over again! It became the best memory.
今回は、挙式でハワイに訪れたので家族も一緒でした。おばあちゃんにクジラを見せてあげたいなぁ〜〜と思いツアー参加を決めました。
口コミによると、見れなかったなどマイナスな感想だらけでしたので、30〜50%くらいの期待でしたが、何回も何回も見ることが出来ました!最高な思い出になりました。
I wasn't expecting much since I was told that we might not see any, but I was very satisfied to see many whales and to be able to watch them multiple times. The boat was also good. It was difficult to have lunch because the boat swayed, so it's best to eat early.
今回は、見れないかもしれないといわれていたので期待はしていなかったのですが、沢山のクジラが出てきてくれて、何回も見ることとが出来とても満足です。
船もよかったです。ランチは早い目に取らないと船が揺れるので難しかったです。
This was my first time in Hawaii, and I participated despite being inexperienced. Although I left early, I was anxious because I couldn't find the reception area. The food was more ordinary than I expected, but there was a lot of it. I wasn't feeling well, and since it was outdoors, it got cold halfway through, so a jacket is a must. The show was absolutely satisfying. Both the women and men were wonderful. When it was time to leave, the performers took photos with those who wanted them. It became a great memory.
はじめてのハワイ、不慣れな中の参加です。
早めに出たものの、受付の場所が見つからずやきもきしました。
食事は思ったよりも普通でしたが、ボリュームがあります。
体調が悪かったのもありますが、屋外ということもあり途中で寒くなってきたので羽織必須ですね。
ショーは言うことなしの大満足でした。
女性も男性も素敵の一言。帰る段になって、希望者には出演者が一緒に写真を撮ってくれました。良い思い出になりました。
I didn't use the hotel pickup and went to the meeting place by rental car, but it was very difficult to find. I called the Japanese office and communicated with a Japanese staff member, but in the end, I couldn't make it on time... I was about to give up, but somehow when I arrived, they said they would accommodate me for the next tour (in one hour)!
On the phone, they mentioned that they were fully booked for the day, but the local tour company staff seemed very relaxed about the details and kindly accepted me, which was a relief.
Captain Rusty was a lot of fun, and while I was taking selfies, he sat next to me and got in the frame. In the end, he said, "Come back again!" and even with my limited English, we were able to enjoy ourselves without any problems.
ホテルピックアップではなく、レンタカーで集合場所まで行ったのですが、とてもわかりずらかったです。日本の事務所に電話をして、日本人スタッフとやりとりさせていただいたのですが、結局間に合わず・・諦めかけましたが、なんとかたどり着くと、次回(1時間後)に入れてあげる!とのこと。
電話では、今日はもう予約でいっぱい、というようなことを言われましたが、現地のツアー会社の方は細かいことは気にしない!という感じで、快く受け入れてくれたので安心しました。
キャプテンのRustyがとても楽しい人で、自撮りをしていると隣に座って映り込んできたりしました。
最後は、また来てねー!と言ってくれて、英語が不自由な私たちでも問題なく楽しめました。
My wife and daughters (13 and 15) and I went riding at Gunstock Ranch. Booking online was a breeze, and our wrangler Kate was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. She efficiently set us up on our horses and went over basic riding skills. The horses were very healthy and well behaved. Kate took us on a 90 min ride around the ranch, stopping for a very scenic photo op at the top of the hill. The experience was wonderful, very organized and enjoyable. We will definately visit Gunstock again if we return to Oahu!
Aloha Bob, Thank you for the wonderful review and for sharing your experience at Gunstock. We would love to see you and your family again!
My family and I went to Gunstock Ranch for the 90 min ride. Our wrangler was Kate who was amazing! She took some time to aquaint us with our horses and determine our level of skill. Our horses were very well behaved, absolutely beautiful and healthy. Once we were all set, we headed on up the trail! Kate was very knowledgeable about the Ranch and Oahu history even though she had only been working there for 3 weeks. The ride was very peaceful and enjoyable. The view at the top was breathtaking, and Kate took a beautiful family photo for us at the top.
We would definately go back if we visit Oahu again!
Aloha Terri,
We love hearing about your experience and the things you enjoyed while riding with us. We hope you come again! Mahalo for the kind review.
This was our second time and it was just as awesome as the first time (2 yrs ago).
The weather wasn't great and it was cold, but it was good that it didn't rain. I was happy to see whales a few times!
天気が良くなくて寒かったですが、雨は降らなかったので良かった。
クジラは数回見れて良かったです!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We hope you can visit us again on a nice day. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
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。
次回はお天気の良い日にお越し頂ければと思います。
またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
スターオブホノルル
Water parks are just plain fun, aren't they? With such a vast area, you can enjoy it for a whole day or just half a day, depending on your stamina. The coin lockers accept credit cards (there are machines that do and don't accept them, so be sure to choose one that does). The admission ticket came with a voucher that can be used as a discount ticket when you spend a certain amount at the shop.
理屈抜きでウォーターパークは楽しいですよね。広大な敷地なので体力次第で一日でも半日でも遊べます。コインロッカーはクレジットカード対応(対応している機械と対応していない機械がありますが、対応している方を選ぶ)してくれてます。入場券には売店で一定額以上利用すると割引券として使えるチケットが付いていました。
I thought of making a reservation during my stay in Hawaii, and I appreciated how easy it was to experience it the very next day. It was very helpful that the reservation and guidance were in Japanese. They also provided transportation to and from the hotel. The instructor was very cheerful and always made the participants laugh. We could use our cameras and smartphones at our own risk, but I was very grateful that they took photos of us while we were flying (data could be purchased for each group). It was so much fun! It wasn't scary at all, so I definitely want to challenge myself to the 150m next time.
ハワイに滞在中ふと思い立って予約し、次の日にすぐ体験できる手軽さがよかったです。日本語での予約・案内だったのでとても助かりました。ホテルへの送り迎えもしてくださいます。インストラクターさんはとても陽気な方で、常に参加者を笑わせてくださいました。自己責任でカメラやスマホを使えましたが、自分たちが飛んでいるときの写真を撮ってくださったのがとてもありがたかったです(グループごとにデータ購入可能でした)。とにかく楽しかった!怖くなかったので、次は是非150mに挑戦したいな
The weather wasn't very good on the day we experienced it, and the water temperature was low. We hadn't applied for a wetsuit in advance, but the guide recommended that we rent one on the spot for an additional $10. I'm really glad we borrowed the wetsuits! It was cold, and since we swam in shallow water, if we hadn't had them, I think I would have been shivering from the cold and scraping my knees.
Although the weather was bad and the water clarity was low, we were lucky enough to encounter turtles twice.
The guide spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to casually ask various questions.
It was a very good experience!
体験した日はあまり天気も良くなく、水温も低かったです。
私たちは、事前にウエットスーツの申し込みをしていなかったのですが、ガイドさんに勧められてプラス10ドルでその場で借りることが出来ました。
ウエットスーツを借りてよかったと思います!!
寒かったし、水面が低いところを泳いだので、もし来てなかったら、寒さに震えながら、膝を擦りむいていたと思います。
天気が悪く水の透明度は低かったですが、ラッキーなことに、2回もカメに遭遇出来ました。
ガイドさんも日本語がペラペラで、気軽に色々きけました。
とても良い経験になりました!!
Thank you, Chikuwa, for coming with your four friends for your high school graduation trip. It was the day with the biggest waves of the winter, and the conditions were quite challenging, but you all did very well. I’m really glad you were able to encounter turtles twice. Please come back to Hawaii again with your four friends when you have the chance. I hope you have a meaningful university life starting in April! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ちくわ様、この度は高校の卒業旅行でお友達4名様でお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日はこの冬一番の大波の日で、とても大変な状況でしたのに皆さんはとてもお上手でしたよ。2回もカメさんに遭遇できて本当に良かったです。是非また機会がありましたら、また4名様でハワイに遊びに来てくださいね。4月から始まる大学生活を有意義にお過ごし下さい!!本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
My wife and I went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise on the Star of Honolulu to celebrate our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. This was one of the things we had scheduled in advance of our trip to Oahu, because we had heard nothing but good things about the cruise. They did not disappoint. From our meet and great with the captain to the final departure from the ship, everything was first class. The entire crew was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Our server, Germese, could not have been any nicer and very attentive. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. We also enjoyed the live entertainment during and after dinner. It did start to rain as we were heading back to the dock, but the crew took very good care of us and walked us out to our transportation with umbrellas. Would definitely cruise again if we get back to Waikiki. We would certainly recommend the Star of Honolulu to anyone who wants to be treated perfectly. Aloha!
The actual parasailing time was less than 10 minutes, but it was a fun and very satisfying tour. I highly recommend this activity.
実際のパラセーリングの時間は10分も無かったですが、楽しくて大満足のツアーでした。オススメのアクティビティです。
