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!
2/22のツアーに参加しました。
行きの送迎も追加し、迷うことなく船に到着することができました。
また、天気に恵まれ、体全体、うっすらと親子クジラを見ることができました。
海風を感じながら、船から見るダイアモンドヘッドとホノルルの景色がとても素敵でした。船内はとても広いため、いろんな角度からホノルルを見ることができました。
帰りの送迎では、ワイキキプリンスホテルで下車し、そのまま徒歩でアラモアナセンターまで行くことができました。
とても満足なツアーでした!

It was my first time snorkeling, and it became a wonderful memory! Having a Japanese guide was a great help for me since I'm not good at English. They swam alongside beginners and provided thorough explanations, which made the entire snorkeling experience enjoyable! If I have the opportunity to participate again, I look forward to it!
シュノーケリング初めてでしたが、とても素敵な思い出になりました!
ガイドさんで日本人の方がいるため、英語が苦手な私にはとても助かりました。

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.
乗船した日はものすごい波で大揺れでした。
揺れる海面をじっと見ていると船酔いしました笑
鯨は尻尾と、潮を吹いているところが見れました。
イルカも並走してくれてなかなかできない経験でした。
副船長の方もたくさん説明してくださり、鯨の生態にも興味が持てました。
しかしとにかく揺れがひどかったのが残念でした。(自然相手なので仕方ないですが)大きな船ですが、ソファー席にみんな寝ていてなかなか過酷なツアーでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise for your first whale watching experience.

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.
ドールの農場も工場もとても楽しかったです.海もきれいでした.お昼はサンドイッチのランチBOXが配布されました.
日本語の案内書は渡されませんでした.しかし,(偶然かもしれませんが)ドール農園では,日本語を話せるスタッフの方が同行してくださり,重要な部分を日本語で説明してくださいました.また,ガイドさんも多少日本語が話せる方でしたので,日本語の単語でコミュニケーションを取ってくださることもありました.
移動中はガイドさんが,英語でハワイの様々なことを説明してくださいます.
残念ながら,私はその解説の大半を理解することができませんでしたが,それでもそれぞれの訪問地を十分楽しむことができました.

I was anxious because I hardly understood any English, but it turned out to be okay. The various activities before the show were enjoyable for both kids and adults. You can exchange drinks with the Cove Card.
The show was not only great in content but also had an amazing location. I was moved by the sunset and starry sky, which I had never seen in Japan!

It was cloudy with a chance of rain, and we were told it might be canceled, but the rain stopped and we were able to experience it. (The people from the earlier time had their experience canceled due to the rain.)
It was so much fun while flying!!
Whether or not you choose the photo option affects the duration of your stay in the air. Since we said we didn't need photos, we were brought down faster than those who were taking pictures. Also, some people who got motion sickness had their experience canceled, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
曇りのち雨で、もしかしたらキャンセルかもと言われていましたが、雨が止み体験可能となりました。(前の時間の人たちは雨のため、キャンセルとなっていました。)
飛んでいる時はとっても楽しい!!
写真のオプションをつけるか、つけないかで空中の滞在時間が変わります。写真はいらないと言った私たちは、写真を撮る人たちよりも早く下ろされました。また、船酔いしてしまった人もキャンセルとなっていたので、しっかり酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。

We participated because the kids wanted to go parasailing. It was higher than we imagined, and the parents were scared, but the kids said it was the best part of the trip. The meeting point with the voucher was a bit unclear, but we received a tour reservation email the day before, so we were able to gather without any confusion. It was also a plus that it was very close to the hotel.
子供達がパラセイリングがしたいということで参加しました。想像以上の高さで、親は怖かったけど、子供達はこの旅で1番よかったらしいです。バウチャーだと待ち合わせ場所がいまいちでしたが、前日にツアー予約メールがくるので、迷わず集合できました。ホテルからすぐだったのも良いポイントでした。

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。

Food was okay and the rides were very short.. lots of walking up steps to get to them. You had to carry the tubes up the steps which were very heavy cause I guess we’re weaklings . A residence…young teen carried it up like a champ. Was fun nonetheless but spent so much on that waterpark as much as universals studios almost but no where close to as many rides at all!

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。

There is nothing left to say other than the Chief and his team made the luau experience magical on the date of my wife’s 50th birthday. We were right up front and the entertainment from park entrance to finale did not disappoint. Well organized and timed to an almost military precision the multiple events were educational, mystifying and steeped in traditions that we were taught throughout the performance through music dance and some well timed humour. Food was amazing.
This is 5/5 and a MUST DO on a visit to Oahu.

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 was able to see a mother and baby whale. I could observe the spouting, back, and tail relatively close up.

When we were planning our honeymoon trip to Oahu, my parents discouraged us from using a rental car, and I felt a bit sad thinking, "Oh, we can only sightsee around Waikiki..." While trying to find a way to enjoy areas outside of Waikiki on our own, I came across this tour!!
Since I can't speak any English and couldn't use a rental car, having a shuttle service with Japanese-speaking staff was truly reassuring ( ; ; ) Ai and Natsue kindly guided us to local recommended spots like snorkeling points and shopping areas, and Tomo, who provided the shuttle service, was very friendly. His speaking to us in Japanese made us feel at ease right from the moment he picked us up (><).

You can choose the height and splash options! However, when I went, no one asked me anything, so if you have a specific request, you need to say it directly (English only).
They took photos from the boat for $40, and it was worth it! I really enjoyed it! Although I intended to buy them, it was also a great memory to have someone from the next group record a video for me on my phone. We were both asking each other to take turns taking pictures.
Some people brought their phones up, so if you want to take photos up there, it's good to have a waterproof case! I was too scared to bring mine up in case I dropped it.
It was incredibly beautiful and fun! The atmosphere was very nice, and it felt friendly and cheerful.
It would be great to do this on a sunny day, and it might be even better at sunset! 😊
高さや水ポチャも選べる!とありましたが、行っても何も聞かれなかったので、もし絶対これがいい!などリクエストがあれば直接言う必要があります。(英語のみ対応)

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。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise for the third time. We are sorry that you were unable to see any whales during this cruise, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views from the ship. We hope you will visit us again. Next time, you will surely be able to enjoy whale watching. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

今回のクルーズにてクジラの観測が見れなかったことが残念でしたが船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。次回はきっと鯨の観測が楽しめることでしょう。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

It was so much fun! When coming down, I dipped my butt in the sea a bit, then they lifted me up a little, and after that, I was collected by the boat. I felt reassured because I wasn't dropped completely into the sea!
めちゃ楽しかったです!降りてくるときにお尻くらいは海につけて、また少し上げてくれて、それからボートに回収される感じでした。がっつり海に落とすようなことはないので安心でしたね!

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
