Oahu
You will wait for about 30 minutes at the meeting point. After taking a group photo with your boarding pass, you will board the boat. Since you will be wading in seawater up to your knees, please wear shorts or a skirt and bring a towel to dry your feet. The explanations will all be in English, but I think you'll manage even if you don't understand everything. It can get cold on the boat when the sun goes down, so it's good to have a proper jacket, especially for Japanese people. I found it tough in a thin shirt during the second half. The restroom is quite basic, so it's better to take care of that beforehand. It was a lot of fun to enjoy drinks and chat with people from various countries. I would like to participate again next time on a Friday.
集合場所で30分程待ちます。搭乗券名目でグループ毎に写真を撮ってから乗船。膝下まで海水に浸かるので、短パンやスカート着用、足を拭くタオル持参下さい。説明は全て英語ですが、出来なくても何とかなると思います。船上は日が陰ると寒いため、日本人的にはしっかりした上着があると良いです。薄手のシャツで後半辛かったです。お手洗いは簡素なものなので、事前に済ませておく方が良いかと思います。色々な国から来た人と飲みながら盛り上がり、とても楽しいひと時でした。次回は金曜に参加したいです。
My daughters and their families and I all went on the Mai Tai sunset cruise! The boat captain let my 13 year old “drive the boat” for a couple of minutes so we could get a picture! The Mai Tais and sodas for the young ones were unlimited. The sunset views were spectacular! Take this cruise! It’s great for all ages!!!
It was incredibly powerful. A large whale spouted water right nearby, and there were cheers. I was lucky to spot it so quickly. I think it would be amazing to see the whales up close. The boat is large, but if you're prone to seasickness, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
凄い迫力でした。大きなクジラがすぐ近くで潮を噴き歓声があがっていました。
すぐに発見できラッキーでした。
もっと間近でクジラを見れたらすごいと思います。
船は大きいですが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを持って行くと良いと思います。
I participated in the tour hoping to see whales, as I signed up during a time when other companies had not yet started their whale watching. There was an announcement that a dorsal fin was spotted! However, it did not appear again, and I was unable to see it in person. I did spot two or three dolphins.
It was the rainy season, and it rained, with cold winds making it quite chilly even with two layers of clothing. If the weather had been better, the scenery might have been nice.
Tips were collected in a box at the exit. The food on board was delicious, and the Japanese commentary was well done.
他社ツアーがまだホエールウォッチングを始めていない時期に申し込みしたため、運良くクジラに出会えるといいなと思い参加しました。
背びれが見えました!とアナウンスはあったものの、その後一度も現れず、実際に見ることはできませんでした。イルカは2、3頭確認できました。
雨季で雨が降ったり、風が冷たく上着は2枚重ね着しても寒いくらいでした。天気が良ければ景色も良かったかもしれません。
チップは出口に箱が置いてある形式でした。
船内の食事は美味しく、日本語での解説もきちんとあり良かったです。
According to the story, it seems a bit early in December. However, I was able to enjoy the lunch cruise. The staff mentioned that it would be difficult to see whales today, but they directed us towards the west coast where dolphins were spotted. We were able to see dolphins for a brief moment. I received a one-year valid reboarding ticket, but I'm not sure if I can go within a year.
話によると、12月ではまだすこし早いらしい。
でも、ランチクルーズということで楽しめました。
係員の人が、今日は鯨は無理そうだけど、いるかが西海岸のほうにいるからと、まわしてくれました。一瞬ですが、いるかが見れました。
1年間有効の再乗船券をもらえたのですが、1年以内にいけるかどうか。
We purchased the five star sunset dining and jazz. The atmosphere was tranquil and relaxed. The staff was very polite and kind. The food ( 7 course) was magnificent! This was my second time for this cruise~ I will purchase another in the future
We love it! The crew are friendly and the performance was very interesting!! The food was stunning too!!! Love the lobster and the steak!! Thank you for this wonderful experience!!
I reserved a guaranteed seat in the front center, but today (the 24th), we were all together, and we had to line up for entry, ending up in seats at the end. However, the hula dance was significantly more wonderful and powerful than the dance I saw later at the Hawaiian Cultural Center, Star of Honolulu. The music and the emcee were truly American entertainers.
While I was dissatisfied with the seating, I was very satisfied overall, including the meal.
前方中央席確約で予約しましたが、今日(24日)は、皆一緒とのこと、列に並ばされ、入場、端の席になってしまいましたが、フラダンスは、そのあと見たハワイアン文化センター、スターオブホノルルのダンスより格段にすばらしく、大迫力でした。音楽も、司会もアメリカのエンタテナーそのもの。
席は不満でしたが、食事も含め大満足でした。
I was waiting at the designated meeting place as indicated in the voucher sent via email, but no one came for the pickup. I called the contact number multiple times starting ten minutes after the meeting time, but no one answered. After twenty minutes, I received a call saying that no one would come to pick me up and that I should take a taxi to a different location. They said they would send the new location via email, but I received no email or text message. An hour after the meeting time, I received a call from someone claiming to be an interpreter, asking if I would be coming by taxi, but I explained that I hadn't received any information about the destination and informed them that I would be canceling. Valuable time was lost.
メールで送られてきたバウチャーに、指定された待ち合わせ場所で待っていましたが、ピックアップに来ませんでした、待ち合わせの時間から10分後から何回も、連絡先に電話をしましたが誰も電話に出ません、20分後に電話が来ましたが、ここには迎えに来ないと言われ、タクシーで別の場所にこいと言われ、メールでその場所を送るとのことでしたが、メールもショートメッセージにも連絡なし。待ち合わせ時間の1時間後に自称通訳の方から(日本語)で連絡が来てタクシーで来ますかと聞かれるが、行き先も連絡が来ないと説明しキャンセルをする伝えました。大切な時間が失われました。
Thank you for booking the whale watching cruise activity with us.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused as you were unable to participate due to an arrangement error on the part of the operating company.
As mentioned in a separate email, the operating company reported that there was a malfunction in the reservation system, which resulted in the pickup location not being accurately registered. On the day of the event, we had instructed you to take a taxi to the check-in location, but unfortunately, due to the absence of Japanese-speaking staff, we were unable to provide you with a proper explanation in the end. The operating company has conveyed their apologies. To prevent this from happening again, we will ensure that the operating company conducts double-checks to provide accurate guidance in case of any issues with the reservation system.
We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive to improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.

I unexpectedly got to see a lot of whales. I didn't see this many even during whale watching. The other guests were all foreigners except for us. But we had no trouble at all and had a great time.
Everything was fun, but this cruise was my favorite. I definitely want to ride it again when I come to Hawaii!
思いがけずクジラさんを沢山見ることができました。ホーエルウオッチングでもこんなに見られませんでした。お客さんは私たち以外は外国の方たちでした。でも何一つ困ることもなくとても楽しめました。
全て楽しかったけれど、今回このクルージングが一番気に入りました。ハワイに来たら必ずまた乗りたいです!
I participated with my 3-year-old child. Even though I can't drink alcohol and this was my fifth time in Hawaii, I felt it was a shame I hadn't participated before because it was absolutely amazing. I didn't bring my camera because I was worried about getting it wet, but I don't think you'll get wet unless something really unusual happens. If you have a phone, there's a chance it could slip and fall into the ocean if you drop it, so I think a camera that you can hang around your neck is more practical.
3歳の子供と参加しました。
自分自身もアルコールは飲めない・ハワイは5回目でしたが、今まで参加しなかったのが勿体なかったと感じるほどに最高でした。
濡れるのを心配してカメラは持って行っていませんでしたが、よっぽどのことをしなければ濡れることはないと思います。携帯などの方が、万が一床に落とすとそのまま海に滑り落ちてしまうかもしれないので、首から下げるカメラの方が使い勝手はいいと思います。
Salmon we ordered could have been better. Dress code was not being implemented. Only few people followed the instructions.
The fireworks were smaller than I imagined and ended quickly. The Hawaiian food was delicious, but the crab was disappointing. I would have been satisfied with the cheapest course. Since it was December 22, it was cold, and I didn't want to go outside.
想像した以上に花火が小さくてすぐに終わる。
ハワイ料理は美味しかったがカニは残念。
1番安いコースなら満足出来た。
12月22日だったので寒くて外に出たくなくなる。
We attended this cruise on 2017/12/24 Christmas eve and it was a wonderful evening from start to finish.The star of Honolulu is an amazing evening from the coach "Royal Star" transferring us from the hotel to the ship and back with great care. Upon arrival, the 5 star guests were ushered to the boat and boarding was separate from others. A photo, drink and canapes were offered on the top deck. We were then shown our seats - private 2 person table along the window - and drinks were served. The menu was a 7 course meal with the Beef with Foie Gras being the highlight of the dinner! Tender and melts in your mouth. Overall the dinner is a 9/10. Wait service was amazing, very helpful, explained all courses and never stopped smiling. Drinks were well made and presented nicely.
The cruise it self takes you along Waikiki beach with some great views of Diamond Head and all of Waikiki. The ambiance the sunset creates is great for all couples and a very romantic backdrop to take photos and video.
Live entertainment was a nice touch, with a Jazz show. The singer had an amazing voice along with the pianist and sax player.
This is truly an amazing dinner evening with your spouse or partner.
My only disappointment with this cruise is the actual time to spend on the deck enjoying the ocean breeze. Dinner is served shortly after leaving the dock which having a course dinner is hard to get up and leave between each course. We did manage after the salad to leave for a few minutes. The waiter kindly waited to serve us the 4th course when we got back.
Overall this cruise is an amazing romantic and wonderful cruise for couples celebrating. Make sure to pay attention during dinner to get great photos of Waikiki, Diamond Head and sunsets.
Thank you to all the staff of #The Star of Honolulu for your professionalism making our experience a wonderful night.
The ship is slightly smaller than the Prince of Honolulu. As we approached Diamond Head, the waves became rough. I think it would be tough for children who get motion sickness. The departure time is leisurely, which is reassuring. The pickup location is also close to the hotel. We were able to see a mother and baby whale. This time, my child dropped their smartphone, but they were able to help us find it. It's a tour you can participate in with peace of mind.
船体はプリンスオブホノルル号より少し小さめ。ダイヤモンドヘッド近郊に近づくと波が激しい。乗り物酔いする子供は辛いと思います。出航時間がゆっくりなので、安心します。ピックアップ場所もホテルに近い。クジラの親子を、見ることができました。今回、子供がスマホを落としたがちゃんと調べてもらい、見つけることができました。安心して参加できるツアーです。
I arrived at the meeting place five minutes early, but there was already someone waiting with a sign that said "Majestic Whale." Since my name wasn't called when the time came, I spoke up when I noticed the sign saying "whale." If you're going, please try to speak up when you see the sign. There's no problem following the staff member. Once on board, there were levels with a buffet and an open deck, but the open deck was easier for taking photos and felt nice with the breeze. The day before, a local said they hadn't seen any whales this year, so I was worried, but thanks to the staff who searched diligently, I was able to see the tail twice and the body once. I enjoyed looking for whales and the scenery, and the chips, fruits, and burgers were delicious. There were some people who got seasick, so I think motion sickness pills and sea bands were helpful. I want to participate again to see bigger whales.
集合場所へ5分前にはついていましたが、すでに「マジェスティック号くじら」と書かれた看板を持った方が待っていました。時間になっても名前を呼ばれなかったので、「くじら」と書かれていることに気づいた時点で自分から声をかけました。行かれる方は看板を見たら声をかけてみてください。係の方のあとについて行くだけなので問題ありません。乗船するとブッフェのある階とオープンデッキの階がありましたが、オープンデッキの方が写真を撮りやすく風も気持ちよかったです。前日、地元の方が今年はまだクジラを見ていないと言っていたので不安でしたが、スタッフさんたちが全力で探してくれたおかげで、尾びれを2回と体を1回みることができました。クジラを探したり景色を楽しんだり、チップスやフルーツやバーガーも美味しかったです。船酔いをしてる方もいたので、酔い止めやシーバンドは役に立ったと思います。もっと大きくクジラを見たいのでまた参加したいです。
I could only get the appetizer course on the upper deck due to it being fully booked, but I was fairly satisfied with the food and drinks. The view of Waikiki from the upper deck was pleasant, and overall, I was reasonably satisfied.
満席で上甲板でのアペタイザーコースしかとれなかったが、食事と飲み物もそこそこ満足。上甲板からのワイキキ風景は気持ちよく、それなりに満足。
Coral has died, and efforts are underway for artificial reefs and coral restoration. Around the reefs, schools of fish, green sea turtles, and rays could be observed. Overall, including the transportation, boarding arrangements, and underwater scenery, the Atlantis experience I participated in 25 years ago in Maui was better.
珊瑚が死滅し、人工の漁礁と珊瑚の再生努力中。
漁礁周辺には魚群、アオウミガメ、エイなどが観賞できた。
送迎、乗船までの段取り、海底の景観など総合的に、25年前に参加したマウイ島でのアトランテイスのほうが良かった。
The overall excitement of the venue and the interactions between guests created a great atmosphere. However, the location of the venue was a bit difficult to find, which caused some confusion.
会場全体の盛り上がり、客同士のふれあいなど、雰囲気つくりがうまかった。
会場の場所がわかりにくい場所にあるため、少しまごまごした。
Just awesome it was my friends birthday, and she loved it.
The sun sparkles on the Pacific Ocean as the cruise ship cuts through the waves, creating a beautiful scene among the swells. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to spot any whales, but the staff were very attentive and we enjoyed a relaxing time. My husband uses a wheelchair, and they were kind to us from the moment we made our reservation. Although we couldn't go to the deck, we enjoyed the view of Hawaii from the sea together.
クルーズ船が波をかき分ける太平洋を太陽がキラキラと照らし、波間がとてもきれいです。
残念ながら、私はクジラを見つけられませんでしたが、スタッフの方が声掛けしてくださったり、ゆったりした時間を過ごしました。
主人が車いすを使ってますが、申し込みの時から親切にしてくださいました。デッキには行きせんでしたが、二人で海上からのハワイの景色、楽しみました。
I participated in early December. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so we couldn't enjoy the sunset sailing, but the night view of Honolulu from the sea was beautiful, and both the crew and passengers were cheerful, making for a fun time.
12月はじめに参加しました。
生憎の曇りで、サンセットセーリングとはいきませんでしたが、海上から見るホノルルの夜景は綺麗でしたし、クルーも乗船客も陽気で楽しい時間でした。
For my first time scuba diving, this was a great experience. The instructor, octo, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about diving and had great humour. Overall made the introduction to diving great and am looking forward to my next dive, thanks to Tey Scuba Diving and their amazing instructor, octo.
We had dinner first, and then the show started after we finished eating. I was very satisfied with both the meal and the show. I would like to go again if the show content changes.
先にご飯食べてから、食べ終わってからショーが始まる流れでした。
ご飯の内容、ショーの内容も非常に満足です。
またショーの内容が変わったら行ってみたいです。
Thank you very much for attending. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、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、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
We came to Hawaii to bring our young daughter, age 7, for her first trip, hoping it would be a memorable one, and she was over the moon with this experience. She got a bit queasy for just a few minutes with the short ferry ride to the sub, but after that, she was perfectly fine. The sub itself was roomy enough to not feel like you were sitting on someone else, and everyone gets window seats, so there is no need to worry about not seeing something. They do 180s so that both sides of the sub get to see everything. Amazing. They have sunken plane and ship wreckage that have allowed artificial reefs to be created, and they are teeming with fish. I've personally been to Hawaii over 20 times in my life and this has by far got to be the best experience I've ever had. Bring a light sweater for the breezy trip to and from the sub, if you're prone to getting chilly in ocean breeze. Don't forget to look in the water when you're on the pier waiting for the ferry - there are reef fish there, too!
Saw several whales, good photo opportunities, nice music, food was okay, and accommodations were good in spite of rainy, overcast weather. The photos for purchase were overpriced.
Had an amazing time with Phillipe and Zach! They kept it relaxed, fun, and super funny! Such a fun cruise! Funny pictures with costumes, constant jokes, great music, and Zach the bartender was running around grabbing people drinks left and right! I hardly had to ever go back to the actual bar to grab a drink. Incredible time! Would do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks guys!
The Rock-a-Flash show I attended was an incredibly luxurious and enjoyable experience. First, I received a backstage pass at the reception and was able to enter the venue before other guests. It felt a bit exclusive! I was led into a dazzling and beautiful room where I enjoyed champagne (we had non-alcoholic champagne) and tropical-themed appetizers, really savoring the VIP atmosphere. After that, I got to peek into the costume room where Elvis and the dancers' outfits were kept, and I was able to touch some of the actual props while taking photos and having fun. I even got to stand on stage, which was a bit exciting (laughs). As the mood lifted, it was time for dinner. The course meal was luxurious and delicious. My favorite was the truffle mashed potatoes, which had a taste I had never experienced before and left me very satisfied. After finishing dessert, the show began! The performances by Elvis, Michael, and the dancers were truly professional and amazing. Among them, the fire knife act was particularly impressive, and sitting in the front row, I could feel the heat of the flames, which was thrilling and nerve-wracking. The fun time flew by, but I was able to have a truly wonderful night.
今回参加したロック・ア・フラショーは大変贅沢で楽しいひとときでした。まずは受付でバックステージパスカードを受け取り首から下げ他のお客様より先に会場の中へ。ちょっと優越感!煌びやかで素敵なお部屋に通されシャンパン(私達はノンアルコールシャンパン)と南国チックなアペタイザーを頂きながらVIPな気分も味わいました。その後、エルビスやダンサーが着る衣裳部屋をのぞかせてもらったり実際に使う道具を触らせてもらったり写真も撮りながら楽しみました。ステージにも立ちちょっと興奮(笑)だんだん気分も盛り上がりディナータイムへ。コース料理はどれも豪華で美味しかったです。特に私が気にいったのはトリュフ入りのマッシュポテト。今まで食べたことのない味で大満足でした。デザートまで完食してしばらくするとショーの始まり!!エルビス、マイケル、ダンサーの皆さんのパフォーマンスはさすがプロという感じで素晴らしかったです。その中でもファイヤーナイフはかなりの迫力があり一番前の席だったこともあって炎の熱さが伝わりドキドキハラハラでした。楽しい時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまいましたがとても素敵な夜を過ごすことができました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.

My sister and I booked this event to close our Hawaiian vacation. From the time we checked in to the time we walked off the boat, we enjoyed the friendliness of the staff working the event. Ian was a charismatic captain, and Alex was a very friendly bartender! Loved that this was a casual, barefoot experience. The views were great! Would absolutely recommend this event to friends and family.
Rock A Hula was a great show for me and my friends! There was a lot of music and fire dancing, and enjoyable songs to sing along with from Michael Jackson and other old classics. We all got a free drink from our purchase which made the show even more fun. The food and service was excellent was well. We came all the way from San Francisco and we were glad to have heard about this show. We also got to see backstage which was very interesting. Veltra helped me with deciding on my purchase so I highly recommend using this site too for the future!
