I only saw the whales twice, and they were quite far away. I was hoping to see them up closer, so I was a bit disappointed. But since it's a natural occurrence, it can't be helped. However, the view of Waikiki from the sea was quite impressive, and I was satisfied.
くじらは、2回、遠くに見えた程度でした。もっと、近くで見えるかと思っていたので、すこし残念でした。自然のものなので、しょうがないですね。でも、海からのワイキキの景観は、なかなかのもので、満足しました。

I was set on a tour that stopped at just the Sandbar, my mom insisted we do a tour that went to 2 locations... She was right! The sandbar is awesome and I encourage people to get out and walk around while you're there, play volleyball (if you want) or just enjoy being on land while under about 2 feet of water! Its wild! A Puffer Fish greeted us! She was much bigger than what I thought puffer fish were. We had burgers and drinks and were off to our second location ... the reef!! On our way we saw a bunch of sea turtles! They were HUGE! Some swam right up close to the boat! It was incredible. It was after a mild storm so the water wasn't 100% clear but still fairly clear. There were tons of colorful fish swimming all around us. I took a few mins to swim around the whole reef! Which every time I popped my head up and saw I was further away from the boat was a little scary and exciting! It was such a fantastic adventure day! My mom loved it, my kids were a little afraid at first at the reef but came to love it too! The crew... let me not forget about the crew! They are absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly,... when my daughter started to cry (9 years old) they knew her name and kept encouraging her! It was the sweetest! My son thought the main guide/lifeguard was the coolest and just wanted to swim where ever he swam (7 years old). The captain on our boat that day was a lady and also super friendly! Highly recommend to all ages and all skill levels! (I had my cell phone with a water protected case - i highly recommend. I purchased mine before the trip from REI, they sold similar ones in the ABC stores in Hawaii.)

The morning whale watching cruise was excellent! The weather was perfect and the crew were friendly and informative. Before taking off we learned a few facts about whales and were able to purchase a snack from the snack bar. The cruise itself was magnificent and we saw several whales. It was such a a delight! I'd also like to mention that the restrooms on board the boat were extremely clean (When on a tour this isn't something you always encounter). My friend and I had a splendid time. We would not hesitate to take this cruise again. The one thing everyone should be aware of though is the parking fee. The boat does not valid and parking in the adjacent lot was a bit pricey.

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles. Since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, so I actually feel grateful for the experience of seeing the less common animals. Oh, but maybe that's because I was able to see dolphins twice in the past, in Hawaii and Guam.
イルカを観る事ができませんでしたが、クジラや亀を観る事ができました。
野生動物である限り絶対はないので、イルカを見られないという事も
あるんだなあと、逆に確率の少ない方の経験ができて良かったという感想です。

This is my third departure so far, but I think the previous buggy experience was more enjoyable. The reason is that during trips to a certain country, we were told not to go to places where buggies are allowed, which led to a boring course, as I heard from the staff.
If those who do not keep their promises are not allowed to ride the buggy, I believe we could have a more varied course. Recently, the quality of participants has declined, and they have stopped listening to the guides, resulting in just riding the buggy without any exploration.
I would like to participate again if we could have a fun sightseeing course like in the past, with people who keep their promises. From now on, I think it would be safer and more enjoyable to take all tourists from a certain country by bus instead of using buggies.
If I want to see various movie sets, I think a different movie course would be better. However, I appreciated that all the staff were kind and helpful. I believe it will improve even more as more Japanese tourists come and the quality of travelers increases.
通算今までに3回目の出発ですが、前のバギーの方が楽しかったと思います、原因は某国の旅行の方がバギーに乗って行っては行けないと言われているところに行ったりするので、こんなつまらないコースになったと言うことをスタッフから聞きました。
約束を守らない人はバギーに乗せないようにしたら、もっといろいろなところ行けるコースになると思います。
あくまで出席者が最近質が悪くなって案内を聞かなくなったので、コースでバギーでただ走るだけになったと言う形です。
昔の楽しい観光のできるコースがもう一度約束を守ってくれる人たちになるとまた参加したいです。
これからはバギーコースでなくて、確実に某国の観光客は全員をバスで連れて行ってもらう方が安全で楽しいと思いました。
あくまでバギーでなくて、いろんな映画の舞台を見に行きたいと思えば、違う映画のコースの方が良いと思います。
でもスタッフが全て優しくて良かったと思います。
これからもっと日本人がもっと多くなって旅行者の質が上がるともっと良くなると思います。

We participated in a plan with transportation for a total of four people, including a 3-year-old and a 0-year-old. The hotel we stayed at was not the designated pickup location, but a nearby hotel was specified for the pickup based on our application. We brought a stroller of the buggy type, and it was transported and used without any issues.
We were lucky to see whales multiple times. On the deck, we enjoyed the breeze, and even from the indoor area with tables and chairs, we could sit and watch the whales, allowing us to see them from either environment. The 3-year-old was entertained throughout the experience.
The explanations and announcements (such as the direction of the whales) were in English. Although the kids did not get seasick, I thought it would have been nice to have the option for my husband to take motion sickness medication since he experienced seasickness.
3歳、0歳を連れた計4人で送迎付きのプランで参加をしました。
私たちの宿泊したホテルは送迎ピックアップの場所ではなかったのですが、申し込み内容と合わせてピックアップ場所(最寄りのホテル)が指定されました。バギータイプのベビーカーを持参しましたが、問題なく運搬し利用できました。
私たちは運が良くクジラを何度も見ることができました。デッキ上は風を感じながら楽しめ、テーブル椅子がある室内からでも座りながらクジラが見れたりと、環境に合わせてどちらからでもクジラが見れます。3歳の子も最後まで飽きずに楽しんでいました。
説明やアナウンス(クジラのいる方向など)は英語です。
子供達は船酔いしなかったものの、旦那が船酔いをしていたため、酔い止めを飲む選択もあったら良かったかなと思いました。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We have ginger pills available on board to help with seasickness. Please do let us know next time. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のクルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測や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。船上では船酔い止めのジョンジャーピルをご用意しております。次回は是非お声をおかけください。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。

I participated in whale watching. I was able to spot a whale from a distance. I wanted to see it a bit closer, but the wind was pleasant, and I enjoyed the cruise. It was quite cold, so a long-sleeved jacket is essential. I hesitated about the pickup service being more expensive than meeting on-site, but I think if I had gone to the meeting point, there would have been so many boats that I wouldn't have known where to go. I'm glad I chose the pickup service, as it allowed me to participate with peace of mind.
ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。遠目にですが、クジラの姿も確認できました。もう少し近くで見たかったですが、風も気持ちよくてクルーズとして楽しめました。寒いくらいなので、長袖の上着は必須です。お迎えつきは現地集合よりも高くて迷いましたが、現地集合では、船が沢山あって、どこに行ったらいいか分からなかったと思います。安心して参加できたので、お迎えつきで良かったです。

If you arrive exactly on time for the meeting (10:30 AM for an 11:00 AM start), you will end up waiting for a full 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the explanation during the pre-monitoring was difficult to understand. However, we do some practice on the sandy beach, and the instructor provides support while we're on the water.
During my first attempt, I couldn't catch any waves and felt a bit down, but on the second try, the instructor taught me the tips again, and after that, I was able to enjoy it a lot. Most of the other participants were also first-timers, but everyone managed to ride the waves. Before starting, they ask if you want the photo option for $65, and I think not ordering this was a mistake (I believe they were taking photos with a drone).
集合時間(11時開始の場合10時30分)にきっちり間に合うと30分しっかり待つことになります。
残念ながら、事前のモニターでの説明はわかりにくいです。
しかし砂浜でちょっとした練習をしますし、海上ではインストラクターがサポートしてくれてます。
1回目は波に乗れずにまさに撃沈で若干凹んでしまいましたが、2回目はインストラクターが再度コツを教えてくれたので、その後はとても楽しむことができました。
他の参加者も初めての人がほとんどでしたが、みんな波に乗れるようになっていました。
開始前に写真のオプション65ドルを聞かれますがこれを注文しなかったのは失敗だったと思っています。(多分、ドローンで写真を撮ってくれていたのだと思います)

Since we were the only Japanese couple, Mr. Akira Ogawa approached us before the show started and explained, "I'll include some Japanese as we go along." Once the show began, the host entertained us with fun magic tricks and jokes in easily understandable English. During Mr. Ogawa's show, I was even called upon as the only participating Japanese person, which allowed me to feel a sense of unity with the other audience members, transcending the language barrier in what felt like a brief but enjoyable hour.
I've been to Hawaii over twenty times, but since I usually focus on outdoor activities, it was a great decision to participate in a show this time. It was truly enjoyable to see Mr. Ogawa's magic, which is said to be the best in the world, up close.
日本人は私たち夫婦のみだったためか、緒川集人さんから、ショウが始まる前に声をかけていただき「様子を見て日本語も入れますから。」などと説明していただけました。ショウが始まると、聞き取り易い英語で司会の方がジョークを入れた楽しいマジックを見せてくれ、緒川さんのショウでは、唯一参加している日本人として振られる突っ込みもあり、言葉の壁を越えて他の観客の人たちと一体感を感じながらのあっという間の1時間でした。
ハワイは、これまで20数回来ているのですが、アウトドアが専門だったので、今回はこれまでと違ったショウを楽しんでみようと参加したのが大正解でした。
世界一と言われる緒川さんのマジックを間近で見ることができて本当に楽しかったです。

We had a family of eight on this tour and all enjoyed themselves.
The bus arrived at our pickup point on time. The driver/host was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor as well as other local sites. The only slight drawback was the sound system on the bus was acting up and occasionally produced feedback (no the fault of the driver/host). She dealt with it as best she could.
We arrived at all the tour points of interest on time and had plenty of time to view each. Given the clear instructions from the driver/host, we knew exactly when to be where.
The lunch was good and the location in the aviation museum was enjoyable.
We finally were returned to the pickup point, also on time.
All-in-all a very enjoyable and interesting day. I highly recommend it.

I participated in the afternoon tour at the beginning of January. I was torn between other tours, but I decided on this one because it was smaller and I thought we might get a bit closer to the whales. The weather was clear, but I had seen reviews mentioning that some people didn’t see any whales, so I tried not to get my hopes up too much.
We set out about 15 minutes offshore on a small cruise ship and then waited in the surrounding area to see the whales. Since we weren’t too far from the island, where the town was visible, I wondered how it would go, but within about 10 minutes, there were cheers, and we caught a glimpse of a whale's head in the distance! Over the course of a little more than an hour, we saw the whale's head and tail flukes about 6-7 times, and at one point, a whale appeared right in front of us! There weren’t too many participants, so it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy it thoroughly. The staff was kind, and it was fun for everyone to search for the whales together!
Since it’s a small boat, I think it’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication as a precaution before participating. We drifted at sea for over an hour, and once you get seasick, it becomes difficult to enjoy watching the whales.
Also, depending on where you sit, there’s a possibility of getting splashed and wet, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting wet.
1月頭に午後帯で参加しました。
他のツアーもあり、迷いましたが、小さめでクジラにちょっとでも近づけるかも?と思ってこちらを申し込み。
天気は晴れでしたが、口コミで観れなかったという声もあったので、あまり期待しすぎずに。
小型のクルーズ船で15分ほど沖に出て、あとはその周辺でクジラが見えるのを待ちます。島の街並みが見えるほど島からもあまり離れていない場所だったので、どうかなと思いましたが、ものの10分ほどで、歓声が上がり、少し遠くにクジラの頭がちょこっと見れました!
それからも1時間ちょっとで6-7回はクジラの頭と尾ひれが見れ、すぐ目の前に現れたときも!参加人数もそこまで多くないので、人だかりで見えないということもなく、しっかり楽しめました。
スタッフの方も優しく、みんなでクジラを探すのも楽しかったです!
小型船ですので、酔い止めは予防も兼ねて飲んでから参加された方がいいと思います。1時間以上海を漂うので、一度酔ってしまうとクジラを見るどころではなくなってしまいます。
また、座る位置にもよりますが、水しぶきで服が濡れる可能性があるので、濡れても良い服装で参加されることをおすすめします。

Although the weather was bad, the staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, making my time very enjoyable. Additionally, I was able to see wild sea turtles at an incredibly close distance. I think it's a good idea to bring warm clothing for winter in Hawaii, as it can get quite chilly. I did land on the sandbar, but it was too cold for snorkeling, so I waited inside the boat. A few participants seemed to enjoy snorkeling alongside the sea turtles, and I would like to try again in Hawaii during the summer.

We spent a lot of time at the McGarrett house, and also met Shawn, "Cousin Flippa" who was really kind and spent time with us answering questions. Everyone was hospitable and made the day fun. Even though the show was filmed on many parts of the island, and it'd take a full day to see more locations, this did hit the highlights like Danno's thinking spot, the highlight was McGarrett's house, and also 5-0 headquarters. It was fun to talk about the show with other fans!

It takes just under an hour to arrive from Waikiki using Uber.
I participated with my family (ages 7 to 70). It was the 7-year-old's first time horse trekking, but the horse was very well-behaved and responded well to the reins. Along the course, there were cows and birds, and unfamiliar flowers were blooming, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely and relaxed conversation while taking in the sights. Photography and video recording are allowed, and since the pace is slow, it's definitely possible.
On the day we participated, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but all the staff were very kind, and we could communicate well through expressions and gestures. Large luggage can be stored at the reception, and you can participate while carrying a small crossbody bag. They take photos along the way, but you can download them later for a fee. The restroom with running water was clean, but it was unfortunate that there was no soap at the handwashing station.
There were dogs running freely, and goats and cows that you could feed, making the waiting time enjoyable.

It was about a 15-minute walk from Ala Moana Center, located in a corner of a warehouse district. I recognized it right away by the monkey sign. The door had a note in Japanese asking to ring the bell. Since there were no windows and I couldn't see inside at all, it took some courage, but before I pressed the bell, a staff member opened the door with a smile, possibly having checked with a camera.
Inside, there were art pieces illuminated by black lights, creating a cool atmosphere. The restroom was clean and had soap at the sink. They keep your belongings in plastic cases. Since the room is reserved for us, we could leave valuables in a corner.
I layered a T-shirt I brought, so I didn't use the poncho and enjoyed doodling on the canvas, wall, and T-shirt I received. I recommend shaking the splatter gun with fluorescent ink well before use. They make sure the canvas can be taken home in a box.
The staff didn't understand Japanese at all, but they were kind and spoke slowly, and gestures helped communicate, so it wasn't a problem. The store's website states it opens at 4 PM, so it's good to confirm when making a reservation.
In a room lit by black lights, listening to music while splattering fluorescent ink and making a mess, I could enjoy myself without worrying about getting dirty. It was a rare experience that I usually can't have. The canvas souvenir was also a nice touch.

Reading everyone's experiences in advance was very helpful. The items I brought and used included disposable towels, sweat wipes (even if it doesn't look dirty, it gets dirty when you wipe), and a garbage bag for my belongings (which can be placed at the foot of the passenger seat, saving the $5 locker fee).
Since there are three breaks and photo opportunities, some people brought water. On the way to Kualoa Ranch, it drizzled a bit, so having a raincoat would be reassuring.
My clothes got dirty, and my hair became messy, so I took a shower when I returned to the hotel. Even though I didn't understand English, I had a great time, and the mountains and ocean were incredibly beautiful and moving. I think this is an experience that is hard to come by in Japan.

The day before the experience, it was raining heavily, so I was worried about the weather, but those worries were unnecessary as it turned out to be a clear day. The waves were not high, and I was able to participate with a calm mind. However, on the day we participated, no whales appeared... I was disappointed since we joined to see whales, but it was my first time cruising on a boat in Hawaii, and as I was taking in the scenery, I realized that we were approaching the goal before I knew it! After the experience, tickets for a return trip on the boat were distributed! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.
体験前日、大雨が降っていたため、天候の心配をしておりましたが、そんな心配は無用で快晴でした。波も高くなく、落ち着いた気持ちで参加することができました。ですが、私たちが参加した日は、クジラが現れず…
クジラを見に参加したので残念でしたが、ハワイで船に乗ってクルーズする経験が初めてで、景色をじっくりと見ていたら、いつのまにかゴールが近づいていました!
体験後、後日船に再乗船できるチケットを配布しておりました!
また機会があればぜひ参加したいと思っています。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that you were unable to observe any whales, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
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。クジラの観測ができなかったのが残念に思っておりますが、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。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

We did not see any whales after going twice on the trip but nonetheless the staff was very helpful, encouraging, and fun! Just a bit of bad luck with the whales! The cruise was easy and there was plenty of space on the ship. At the end of the day, it was a lovely whaleless cruise along the coast which was relaxing and enjoyable.

The sandbar trip was so fun. My husband and I had a great time. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable and the boat is clean. The lunch was great and we overall had an amazing time. We would definitely do this again and recommend to anyone either as a couples trip or as a family trip. I think it’s great for all ages.

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in over 10 years. Previously, I could take a direct bus from Waikiki and freely enter the water, but it seems that after COVID, you can no longer enter without a ticket. I gave up on getting a ticket since they are sold online only two days in advance, so I joined this tour instead.
The guides were a very kind and wonderful Japanese woman and a gentle foreign man who spoke fluent Japanese. From the entrance to the explanatory video and entering the water, it was a bit complicated, so I felt it was difficult without a Japanese-speaking guide.
They took us to a snorkeling spot with lots of fish, which was really fun. Although I didn't see any sea turtles, I was glad to see many different types of fish. I recommend this for anyone wanting to visit Hanauma Bay. Also, if you're going in winter, a wetsuit is essential. The sun is hot, but the water temperature is surprisingly low.
10年以上ぶりにハナウマベイに行きました。
以前はワイキキからバス1本で行けて、海にも自由に入れましたが、コロナ後は入場チケットがないと入れなくなったようです。しかも2日前からオンライン販売と、チケットを入手するのは難しいと諦め、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
ガイドは日本人のとても親切で素敵な女性と
、日本語ペラペラの優しい外国人男性です。
入場から説明ビデオから海に入るまで、少しややこしいので、日本語のガイドさんがいないとやはり難しかったなあと思いました。
シュノーケルも魚がさくさんいるポイントに案内してくれて、とても楽しかったです。
ウミガメは見れませんでしたが、様々な種類の魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
ハナウマベイに行かれたい方には、おすすめします。
あと、冬に行かれる場合は、ウェットスーツが必須です。日差しは暑いですが、水温は意外と低いです。

The food and atmosphere were great. I chose the 5-star option to watch the Hilton fireworks from the deck on Friday, but people from the lower floor started removing the chain from the stairs and crowded onto the deck before the fireworks started. After quite some time, the staff began to check if people were 5-star guests, but I thought it was too late.
お料理も雰囲気も良かったです。金曜日でデッキからヒルトンの花火を見るために5スターにしたのですが、花火の時間前から下のフロアーの人が、階段のチェーンを外しデッキに入ってくて混雑。
だいぶ経ってからスタッフが5スターかどうか確認を始めましたが遅いかと思います。
Thank you for using the Star of Honolulu's Five Star Sunset Dinner Cruise. We are honored that you enjoyed the meal, atmosphere, and the Friday fireworks from the ship. We look forward to welcoming you back in Hawaii next time.
