Oahu
Thank you, Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe. I entrusted you with the local options, and thanks to you, I was able to see whales, which was wonderful. I look forward to working with you again if the opportunity arises.
ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸田村さん ありがとうございました 現地のオプションもおまかせとの事で依頼しました。おかげさまでクジラも見れてよかったです。また機会があればよろしくお願いします
Winter in Hawaii is cold, and the waves are high. It's better to have motion sickness medication.
冬のハワイは寒い 波も高い 酔い止め薬があった方が良いです
Thank you very much for coming aboard our Star of Honolulu with your friends. It was truly wonderful to see whales, wasn't it? We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にお友達とお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラも見れて本当に良かったですね。又のお越しをハワイにてお待ちしております。
The biggest advantage is that it specializes in transportation, allowing you to focus on hiking at your own pace without unnecessary sightseeing guides or time constraints. The panoramic view from the summit is breathtaking, but the crowds due to its popularity are unavoidable. By using this shuttle, you can smoothly return to Waikiki after descending in the morning, making it a very practical option for those who want to make effective use of their time.
送迎に特化しているため、余計な観光案内や拘束時間がなく、自分のペースでハイキングに集中できる点が最大のメリットと言えます。
頂上からのパノラマビューは圧巻ですが、人気スポットゆえの混雑は避けられません。このシャトルを利用すれば下山後もスムーズにワイキキへ朝には戻れるため、時間を有効に活用したい方には非常に実用的な選択肢です。
The hospitable guides and Japanese staff provided various support, allowing us to enjoy driving the Raptor, fully experiencing nature, and listening to lectures about Hawaiian traditional culture, myths, and nature. Driving the Raptor is super easy even for women, and it's so much fun!
ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんや日本人スタッフさんたちが色々とサポートしてくれるので、楽しくラプターを運転して、大自然を満喫して、ハワイの伝承文化や神話や自然についてのレクチャーを聞いたりできました。ラプターの運転は女性でも超簡単で、楽しすぎます。
The explanation videos in English are easier to understand than those in Japanese.
Be punctual.
There is time to take photos.
It's easier with a mask.
Please put tips in the container after fi
英語の説明動画のほうが日本語のものよりわかりやすいです。

The day before, there was a heavy rain warning and the weather was bad, but on the day itself, it was sunny with gentle winds, making it perfect for whale watching. As we went up to the deck and waited, we received a message from the captain! Looking in that direction, we saw a cute tail 😍😍😍—there was a baby whale! After a while, many boats gathered, and everyone started watching! I wanted to take photos, but they quickly went underwater, so I hope you can burn the memory into your mind. You could see the whale's spout even from a distance, and it moved in that direction. Although it was a short time, we were able to see a lot. Also, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat was amazing! I want to go again.
前日は大雨警報が天気が悪かったのですが、当日は晴れて風も穏やかで、絶好の鯨ウォッチング日和でした。デッキに上がって待っていると船長からのメッセージ!そちらの方向を見ていると可愛い尻尾が😍😍😍ベビー鯨がいました。しばらくするとたくさんの船が集まってきてみんなでウォッチング!写真!をと思っているとすぐに水中に入ってしまうので是非目に焼き付けて欲しいです。🐳の潮吹きが遠目でもよく見えてそちらの方向へ移動してくださいます。短い時間でしたがたくさん見る事ができました。また、船からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高!また行きたいです。
Once the ship starts moving, I recommend moving to the top deck right away! The sun is strong, so a hat and sunglasses are a must.
船が動き出したらすぐに1番上のデッキに移動するのがおすすめ!日差しが強いので帽子、サングラス必須ですね。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your friends. The weather was really nice, and we are so glad about that. We are also delighted that you were able to see the adorable mother and baby whales. Thank you for your positive review and the photos. We look forward to welcoming you back in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にお友達とお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。お天気も大変良くて本当に良かったですね。そして、かわいいクジラの親子も見れてスタッフ一同嬉しく思います。ポジティブな口コミとお写真も有難うございました。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
The tour time was neither too busy nor too leisurely; it was a good amount of time. The view from Diamond Head was very beautiful, and it was a great experience to participate.
ツアーの時間は忙しくもなく時間を持て余すわけでもない、いい時間でした。ダイアモンドヘッドからの景色はとても綺麗で参加していい体験でした。
We saw whales several times and were able to see them in various forms. Thank you for the precious experience. Also, the bread and Kona coffee included in the tour were delicious, and we had a great time.
数回くじらが出現しており、いろいろな姿が見れました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました。
また、ツアーに付属しているパン、コナコーヒーも美味しくいい時間を過ごせました。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. It was truly wonderful to see whales a few times. We are all honored to have been able to help create good memories for you in Hawaii. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to seeing you again next time in Hawaii.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。数回クジラが見れたのは本当に良かったですね。今回ハワイでの良い思い出のお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
I participated in the earliest time slot experience. On the way to Diamond Head in the shuttle, I saw many people running. Mornings in Hawaii start early! Whether you can see the sunrise or not, I highly recommend this experience for morning activities! The shuttle takes you to the ticket office, so it requires less stamina than climbing from the bottom. I did this experience on my first morning in Hawaii and established a rhythm for waking up early.
1番早い時間帯の体験に参加しました。
送迎車でダイヤモンドヘッドに向かう途中、ランニングしている人もたくさん見ます。ハワイの朝は早い!
日の出が見れても見れなくても、朝活にぜひおすすめの体験です!券売所まで送迎してくれるので、下から登るより体力は要りません。ハワイ初めての朝にこの体験をし、早起きのリズムをつくりました。
It's best to avoid arriving exactly at the pickup time. Both pickups and drop-offs tend to arrive early.
迎え時間ピッタリに向かうのは避けた方が良いです。迎えも、送りも、早めに来ます。
It's cold due to the wind and water, so make sure to bring extra towels and warm clothing like a hoodie. The boat will sway in the rough northern waves until you reach the spot, which is fun like a roller coaster, but… I did feel a bit seasick.
There are a lot of sharks in front of the cage, so you can see them from above. From inside the cage… it's a bit underwhelming. You can see them if you try hard enough, but it might not be suitable for girls or children.
You get tossed around by the waves and the cage, so it’s cold and painful. I think it’s fun, though!
風、水で寒いので、タオル多め、パーカーなど防寒着は必ず。
スポットに着くまでに船がノースの荒波に揺られるので、ジェットコースターみたいに楽しいけれど…やはり半分は酔ってました。
ケージの前にサメがたくさんいるので上から見れます。
ケージの中からは…微妙。
頑張れば見れるけど、女の子、子供とかは不向きかも。
波とケージに体をぶつけられるので、寒い、痛い。
楽しいのは楽しいと思う。
I get seasick.
It's cold, so wear warm clothing.
You can see sharks better at the aquarium.
船酔いはします。
寒いので防寒着を。
サメは水族館の方が見れる。
Thank you for the review and I am sorry that mother nature threw in some choppy conditions that day. Hopefully, we will see you on your next Hawaiian adventure during better conditions.
I was able to make a reservation at a great deal using points. In expensive Hawaii, it didn't feel too pricey since it included tips. The day before, I had an à la carte meal at a different restaurant that cost $100, so I really think this was a great deal.
ポイントを使ってお得に予約できました。なんでも高いハワイでは、チップ込みなので高くは感じませんでした。前日違うお店でアラカルトで食事しましたが、100ドルでしたので、ホントにお得だと思います。
The food is not exceptionally delicious, but it comes with dessert and coffee. It's a great place for couples to enjoy a leisurely meal, and I recommend it.
素晴らしく美味しいお料理ではありませんが、デザートとコーヒーも付いています。カップルでゆっくりお食事できて、お勧めです。
The crew was a kind and handsome pair of brothers. The boat was fast, and there were several thrilling moments that made my stomach drop. Parasailing was simply delightful! Once the harness was secured, we floated up, and my daughter exclaimed, "It feels just like Soarin'!" It truly was an extravagantly real Soarin' experience.
Before taking off, they checked if it was okay to get wet in the sea, and after I answered "OK," we were splashed down to our waists twice in a grand manner. The landing was also soft and well-executed.
After disembarking, you can decide whether to purchase the photos after checking the images on a PC. They also transferred the data directly to our smartphones and provided an SD card as well.
クルーは親切なイケメン兄弟でした。
船は速くて、胃が浮くようなスリリングな揺れが何度か。
パラセーリングは、ただただ気持ちよかったです!ハーネスをつなぐとスーッと浮き上がって、娘が、ソアリンみたいー!と叫んでいて、確かに贅沢すぎるリアルソアリンでした。
飛ぶ前に海に浸かって大丈夫か確認があり、OKと答えたら、豪快に2回腰まで浸かりました。着地もフワッと上手でした。
写真は下船後、PCで画像を確認してから購入するか決められます。データはその場でスマホに落として、SDカードでも渡してくれました。
Luggage and sandals can be stored under the seat. Tips and photo fees could be paid by card.
荷物とサンダルは、座席の下に入れられます。
チップと写真代は、カードで支払いできました。
First off the driver, Matthew was great, I couldn't find the pick up spot and he called me and got me there. My fault, I get lost crossing the street. It was rainy, but the place was packed for the 6:15 am trip. 2vhours is more than enough to hike to the top and take pictures along the way. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
運良く、天候に恵まれて楽しむことができました。英語ができた方が意思が伝えられるので良いです。着地では少し水に濡れてOKと伝えて、楽しむことができました。
船がけっこう揺れました。酔い止めが必要かも知れません。
On the last day in Hawaii, I was looking for an easy activity that I could do in a limited amount of time, and I found availability here. Despite making a reservation on the morning of the same day, the process went very smoothly, which was great. The reception location was a bit hard to find, but there was a van with the company name on it as a landmark. There were two young women at the reception (one of whom was fluent in Japanese), and the crew consisted of two young men who spoke English, but there were no communication issues. The ride to the spot felt like a fast cruise, which was enjoyable in itself. I had some slight anxiety about how the landing would go during the parasailing, but it was operated very skillfully, and I naturally landed behind the boat. It was a truly valuable experience.
ハワイの最終日を前に、なにか手軽に限られた時間でできるアクティビティがないかと探していたところ、こちらに空きがありました。当日の午前中に予約したにもかかわらず、大変スムーズに手続ができ良かったです。受付場所はややわかりにくかったですが、社名の入ったバンが止まっているのが目印です。受付は若い女性2名(1名は日本語堪能)、クルーは若い男性2名で英語でしたが、コミュニケーションに問題はなかったです。スポットに着くまでは高速でのクルーズという感じでそれ自体が楽しかった。パラセイリングも、着地する際はどうするのかななど若干不安がありましたが、非常に上手に操作されて、自然とボートの後ろに着陸するようになってました。大変貴重な体験ができました。
On the day of the event, I was worried because the wind was strong, but it seems that the staff's response was good, and my daughters had a great time. Unfortunately, even after taking motion sickness medication, I still got sick, which was disappointing. I can't help my condition, though...💦
当日は風が強く、大丈夫かなって不安はありましたが、スタッフの方の対応も良くかったみたいで娘たちは楽しい時間を過ごしました。酔い止めを飲んでも酔ってしまったので、そこが残念でした。体調はしょうがないのですが…💦
Motion sickness medication is essential.
酔い止め必須。
Luau was awesome, and the shuttle to the luau is so convenient!
Listen to when people tell you to go for the ATV tour, what a perfect way to see Kualoa!
Really wonderful to upgrade to this awesome dinner schedule
These horses are treated with love you can tell! They were very calm during our ride.
Not only do you get a great show you get a great laugh throughout - perfect balance!
Sunset views from the deck were absolutely stunning, and the buffet had a great variety of delish foods!
Overall a fun night out with great food, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable show.
This tour was awesome - the waterfall is breathtaking and I loved being able to take my time, enjoy the scenery, and snap great photos along the way
On top of the ATV part, I enjoyed learning more about the land and local agriculture.
Instructor was extremely patient as well as encouraging which definitely made me feel completely comfortable as a beginner
Aloha ʻo Kara,
We are so glad to hear that you had a great time during your Private Surf Lesson. That you felt comfortable, safe, and encouraged by our team! Our teams first priority is your sense of safety and comfortability, and we are so happy to hear that is what you felt. We hope to see you back on the water with us soon!
Mahalo Nui
It was great, it's just that the ocean wasn't cooperating that day but the crew and ride were very good. If the waves were bigger it would have been awesome.
Aloha,
Mahalo for sharing your feedback and for joining us on the water. We’re truly pleased to hear that you enjoyed our crew and the overall ride experience.
As much as we would love to curate perfect conditions every day, weather and ocean patterns are entirely out of our control. Conditions can shift quickly and are guided solely by nature. For this reason, our experienced watermen carefully evaluate the environment prior to each departure to ensure that safety always remains the highest priority.
While we cannot influence the elements, we remain deeply committed to delivering a safe, professional, and memorable experience through the service and care of our team. We would be grateful if you might reconsider your rating based on the service and hospitality provided by our crew, rather than the natural conditions that were beyond our control.
We sincerely appreciate your time and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff
My outrigger canoe surfing was a blast! My rowing crew was great...friendly and fun! Photographer on the surfboard capturing my adventure was a nice touch!
Aloha ʻo Debbie,
We are so happy to hear your time on the canoe was a blast. Hopefully a memory you will cherish forever. Our canoe captain team works very hard to ensure each canoe ride is safe, fun, and friendly! So happy you enjoyed having the photographer there as well to capture this special moment you shared. We hope you come back again soon.

This is by far the best adventure we had on our vacation in Honolulu. An experience underwater with the aquatic life was truly one of a kind. We will do this again when we return next season.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but the view from off the coast of Waikiki was amazing. On the way back to the harbor, a pod of dolphins approached the boat and entertained us. If you're traveling during that season, they give you a ticket to board again, so I think it's a good idea to make a reservation for an early travel date.
残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたがワイキキ沖から眺める景色は最高です。帰港途中にドルフィンの群れが船に近づいて楽しませてくれました。
そのシーズン中ならもう一度乗船出来るチケットをくれるので渡航日程の早い日に予約されると良いと思います。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales this time, but we are very pleased that you enjoyed the morning cruise and the pod of dolphins. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。残念ながらクジラは今回見れませんでしたが朝のクルーズとイルカの群れの生態を楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
Wanted to surprise my partner with her first traditional Hawaiian 🌺 lei greeting :) both beautiful and smelled amazing !
