Oahu
I attended with a female friend. The fireworks looked different from the venue, and it was great. There was a foreign couple being affectionate the whole time, and I thought I’d like to go with a partner next time. Haha.
女友達と参加しました。花火も会場から見るものはまた違って見えてよかったです。外国人のカップルが終始イチャイチャしてて次はカップルで行きたいって思いました。笑
Great time saw lots of turtles and fish also sailed alittle
I was torn about which boat to choose, but since I had already taken a dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu, I opted for the slightly smaller Majestic. The weather was nice, and the contrast between Diamond Head and the ocean was beautifully visible.
After heading out for a while, I spotted a whale's spout and was able to see its back and tail. After that, I saw quite a few spouts, but I couldn't confirm their full appearance. The boat was rocking quite a bit, and it seemed like many people were feeling a bit worn out, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. I bought motion sickness pills at ABC and was fine. If you're worried about foreign medication, it's better to bring extra from Japan!
どの船にするか悩みましたが、スターオブホノルル号にはディナークルーズで乗ったので、少し小さめのマジェスティック号にしました。天気も良く、ダイヤモンドヘッドと海のコントラストがキレイに見えました。
沖に出てしばらくすると、クジラの潮吹きが見え、背中、尾びれと見ることが出来ました。その後は潮吹きは結構見えましたが、姿を確認するまでには至りませんでした。結構揺れが激しく、ぐったりしている方も多かった様なので、酔いやすい人は薬を飲んでいった方が良いようです。私はABCで酔い止めを買って飲んだので大丈夫でした。海外の薬が不安なら日本から多目に買っていった方がいいですよ!
As the title suggests, whether you can see a jump depends on luck at that moment. After waiting for two hours, I finally caught a glimpse of a dorsal fin and saw it spouting water, but I couldn't help but wish to see a more spectacular sight like in the photos. Still, when I spotted it, I was simply thrilled to see it!
Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, it's definitely better to take some medication beforehand. (I usually don't get motion sickness, but I felt a bit queasy...)
I might have just been unlucky, but I think it's better to approach it with the mindset of "I might see a whale during the cruise, how lucky!" rather than "I will definitely see a whale!"
If I could wish for something, it would be great to have more events on the boat, like experiences with Hawaiian instruments, songs, the meaning of hula dancing, and how to move your hands, etc. There seems to be a lack of connection with the participants.
タイトル通りです。ジャンプが見られるかどうかはその時の運次第。
2時間待ってようやく海面から背びれがちらっと、潮を吹いているのが分かったという程度でしたので、思わず、写真のような姿が見たかったなぁと思いました。それでも、見つけた時はいたー!と単純に嬉しかったです。
また、乗り物酔いをする方は絶対に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいです。(普段乗り物酔いしない自分が少ししましたので。。。)
自分はたまたま運が悪かっただけかもしれませんが、「絶対クジラを見る!と意気込んで行く」というよりは、「クルーズ中にクジラが見えた、ラッキー」という感覚で行くくらいがちょうどいいかなと思いました。
欲を言えば、船の中でイベント毎がもっとあるとよかったです。例えばハワイの楽器体験・歌・フラダンスの意味・手の動かし方等々。参加者との連帯感にかける所がある。
The crew, the experience and the other people on board from around the world!! Would do it again in a heartbeat!
Excellent experience because it was my first time going there n I totally loved it I'm definitely going back...
I had a wonderful time cruising while enjoying free drinks, including champagne. We even spotted whales nearby, and the sunset was perfect.
とても気持ちよくフリードリンクでシャンパンも楽しみながらクルーズできました。
途中クジラも近くに見られてサンセットもバッチリでした
Loved it!!! Most Perfect wedding ever! The staff was amazing, dinner, everything was wonderful. Highly recommend this. Thank you so very much, loved it all. Cheryl
Surfing for the first time as a couple!!!
We had a one-on-one private lesson.
The weather was great, and both of us were able to catch a good wave right away (^^)
We also had 400 photos taken, which became the best memories.
We look forward to the next time!
夫婦で初サーフィン!!!
マンツーマンのプライベートレッスン。
天気もよく2人共いい波を1発で乗れました(^^)
写真も400枚も撮ってもらい最高の思い出になりました。
また次回もお願いします。
Aloha,
Thank you for participating in the surfing lesson. I'm glad to hear that you were satisfied with the private lesson, as it allows us to tailor the content to each individual. It's not often that you get the chance to have a professional photographer capture your surfing moments, so please make sure to utilize those photos. We look forward to seeing you next time!
MAHALO!
Aloha,
この度はサーフィンレッスンへのご参加ありがとうございます。
プライベートレッスンですとお一人お一人に合った内容でのレッスンが可能ですので満足して頂けて嬉しく思います。
プロのカメラマンにサーフィン姿を撮ってもらえる機会はなかなか無いので、是非写真を活用してください。
次回もお待ちしてます!
MAHALO!
Thanks Jim , absolutely fabulous, great knowledge of the area, best sights not available anywhere else, well worth taking this tour we had a perfect day to fly, my daughter was a bit nervous but wanted to get straight back up. Jo & Sharen from Australia
Thanks, Jo, for your glowing review. I'll make sure that Pilot Jim sees what you've wrote. Come back anytime and fly with us again.
I was attracted to the point where I could enjoy both drinks and a sunset cruise, so I signed up. While on board, I could enjoy the scenery without getting wet and felt a pleasant breeze. There’s nothing to obstruct the view, so the sunlight is dazzling until the sun sets, making sunglasses a must. This was my fourth time in Hawaii, but seeing the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea offered a different perspective, which was wonderful. The duration was as planned, and I was able to stick to my schedule after the cruise without any issues.
お酒とサンセットクルーズ同時に楽しめるポイントに惹かれて申込みしました。
乗船中は濡れることもなく、気持ちの良い風を浴びながら景色を堪能できます。
遮るものがないので夕日が落ちる前までは日差しが眩しいので、サングラス必須です。
4度目のハワイでしたが海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは一味違う景色で、とても良かったです。
所要時間も予定通りで乗船後の予定も狂うことなく過ごすことが出来ました。
The food was good, the music was great, the entertainment was great, but I wish I would have purchased the better package. We were in an area with a bunch of younger tourists and we felt out of place.
The quality of the performers' impersonations was surprisingly high, and the production was excellent, making it an enjoyable show overall. However, the group of guests in the front row was drunk, and it was very unpleasant that they kept crossing in front of me during the show, either to go to the restroom or for other reasons.
出演者のモノマネのクオリティが予想以上に高く、また、演出も素晴らしくてショーとしては十分楽しめました。ただ、前席の団体客が酔っ払っており、トイレに行くのか、ショーの真っ最中に代わる代わる目の前を横切って行くのが非常に不愉快でした。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We appreciate your valuable feedback. I will report it to the person in charge and we will work on improvements. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして、誠にありがとうございました。貴重なご意見、ありがとうございます。責任者に報告し、改善したいと思います。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
We celebrated our wedding anniversary last December 17, 2016 aboard the Star of Honolulu Sunset dinner cruise and it was a very memorable experienced we had. The ship was clean, foods were very good, staff are super friendly and attentive and the emcee and dancers are spectacular. Everyone participated either with singing or dancing. It's was just plain AWESOME, Thank You.
I flew from Los Angeles to celebrate a best friend's birthday in January 2017, and made up another friend's and my own birthday (in November). I treated my friends and myself with the Five Star - Luxury French Cuisine with Live Jazz. It's was a great evening with the hula dancer's Happy Birthday song to my friend, the waiters cordial and professional service, delicious meal, conversation/fellowship time, pianist and jazz music performance which was very interactive with the guests, and nice view of the Sunset, Wikikki hotel "forest" and Diamond Head. Everything was perfect! Absolutely loved it. And it's a great and memorial experience for my friends, too! Thank you all for serving us!
This time we went with a group of friends, and had a wonderful day - everybody truly enjoyed themselves. We will book again next time in Honolulu. Recommended!!!
This was our second time on the Holokai Catamaran, and again we had a fabulous day. Great crew! We would book again!!!
It was a tour of about two and a half hours. There were explanations about whales in Japanese, and we were able to see whales as well. Since there is a meal included, I think you can enjoy it while taking breaks.
約2時間半ほどのツアーでした。
日本語でのクジラの説明等もありながら、クジラも見ることができました。
食事もあるので、休憩しながら楽しめると思います。
Beautiful cruise overlooking the Waikiki beach front. The buffet was good with plenty of variety and tasty food. wonderful on board entertainment with passenger participation wife has a bad knee and the crew went out of their way to get a wheelchair and move around to and from the bus to ship to the bus.
The guys were really friendly and sincerely wanted everyone to have a good time. We got pretty drunk off that uh oh juice and the sunset was beautiful.
I participated to create a final memory of my trip. I was very satisfied to be able to enjoy a beautiful starry sky and fireworks while drinking a Mai Tai. It's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you will get wet up to your shins when boarding. I participated in January, and the weather was great, with just the right temperature to enjoy. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
旅行の最後の思い出にと参加しました。
マイタイを飲みながらきれいな星空と花火を見ることができとても満足できました。
乗り込みの際にひざ下ぐらいまで濡れるので濡れてもいい格好で参加したほうがいいです。
1月の参加でしたが、とてもいい天気で気温もちょうどよくて楽しめました。
機会があればまた参加したいです。
It was my first time riding a submarine, and I had a lot of fun. The location was close to where I was staying, so I walked there. The staff were very kind to me, even though I arrived early and couldn't speak English. I'm grateful for that. It was probably just a coincidence, but when I participated, about 60% of the participants were Japanese. A person who could speak Japanese guided us, so I didn't need an audio guide in Japanese. I was able to see sea turtles, and it was a very enjoyable experience.
潜水艦に乗るの初めてなので楽しかったです。
場所が滞在場所から近かったので歩いて現地に行きました。
早めに来てしまった英語のできない自分に対してもスタッフさんはとても親切にしていただきました。感謝します。
たまたまでしょうが自分が参加した時は参加者の6割が日本人でした。
日本語ができる方がガイドしてくださり、日本語の音声ガイドが必要ありませんでした。
ウミガメの見ることができたし、とても楽しい経験ができました。
I was really anxious about surfing for the first time, but I happened to have a Japanese guide who taught me while praising me, and I was able to stand up even as a beginner! It's a shame I don't have any photos, but I want to go to Hawaii again to surf.
初めてのサーフィンですごく不安でしたが、たまたま日本人のガイドさんで誉めながら教えてくださり、初めてでも立つことが出来ました!
写真が残っていないのが残念ですが、またサーフィンをしにハワイに行きたいです。
Aloha!
Thank you for participating in the surfing lesson.
Many of you expressed anxiety about your first surfing experience, but we strive to make the lessons enjoyable and safe, so we are very happy to hear that you had a great time.
Please come back to Hawaii to surf again!
We look forward to seeing you.
MAHALO!
Aloha!
この度はサーフィンレッスンへのご参加ありがとうございます。
皆さん、初サーフィンは不安とおっしゃいますが、レッスンは楽しく、安全にを心掛けておりますので、楽しんで頂けて大変うれしく思います。
是非、またハワイへサーフィンをしに来てください!
お待ちしております。
MAHALO!
I participated with my daughter, and there were only two Japanese people. It felt great to feel the wind more than on a big ship. There was also a couple dancing energetically, making it a really fun time.
娘と参加で、日本人は二人ボッチでした。(^-^;
大きな船より風を感じられて気持ち良かったです。
ノリノリで踊っているご夫婦もいて凄く楽しい時間でした。
It was my first time going to Oahu n I was really excited to go on STAR OF HONOLULU n I absolutely loved it so much That I am already planning to come back again this year...
I read in the reviews that there are few Japanese people and the explanations are in English, but it was a completely problem-free relaxing time. I go to Hawaii about twice a year, so I signed up for various optional tours, but this tour is one I can't miss next time. Since it was late January, it was indeed cold due to the strong winds. A light jacket is necessary.
口コミでは日本人は少ないし説明も英語なので・・とありましたが、全く問題なしのリラックスタイムでした。ハワイは年に2回ほど行きますので色々なオプショナルツアーに申し込みましたがこちらのツアーは次回も外せないです。1月下旬だったので、風が強いこともあり確かに寒かったです。羽織るものは必要ですね。
Nice professional group of divers all eager to take us newbies down! They took the time to ensure we were all feeling safe and comfortable. Great bunch of people.
I was considering a dinner cruise, but after referring to other people's experiences, I chose the cocktail cruise. I was a bit anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but it turned out to be a great decision. The sunset from the coast is beautiful, but watching the sunset from the cruiser while feeling the thrill of the ride was exceptionally stunning. Thanks to the cheerful and high-energy crew and the other foreign guests, the atmosphere was great, and I had a wonderful time.
ディナークルーズにしようかと思ってましたが、他の方の体験談を参照し、カクテルクルーズを選択しました。
楽しめるか少し不安でしたが、結果は大正解でした。海岸からのサンセットも綺麗ですが、クルーザーの疾走感とともに海の上から観るサンセットはまた格別に綺麗でした。陽気でハイテンションなクルーや他の外国人客のおかげて、雰囲気も良く楽しい時間を過ごせました。
My long-awaited beach yoga in Hawaii. We gathered in front of the Honolulu Zoo early in the morning and then headed to Waikiki Beach together. The yoga instructor was very cheerful and kind, making it easy for both beginners and experienced participants to join in.
Doing beach yoga while looking at the ocean was incredibly refreshing, and I felt free and relaxed. The pleasant temperature, clean air, the sound of the waves, and the chirping of the birds were all soothing. I felt energized. I was so focused that before I knew it, about an hour had passed!
I’m really glad I participated in beach yoga this time. I have some experience with yoga, but it felt so much better than indoor yoga in Japan. Next time I come to Hawaii, I will definitely join beach yoga again!
念願だったハワイでのビーチヨガ。早朝からホノルル動物園前に集まり、そのまま皆でワイキキビーチへ。ヨガインストラクターさんはとっても明るくて優しいので、はじめての方でも経験のある方でも気軽に参加できました。
海を眺めながらのビーチヨガはとても気持ちよく、のびのびと出来ました。また清々しい快適な気温、綺麗な空気、波の音や鳥のさえずりなど聞き癒されました。エネルギーをもらえました。とても集中していたので、気づけば1時間位経っていました!
今回ビーチヨガに参加して、本当に良かったです。私はヨガの経験はありますが、日本の室内でのヨガとは違い本当に気持ちよかったです。次にハワイに来る時も絶対ビーチヨガに参加します!
We had a great crew. Kept it fun and entertaining. We are planning on taking this cruise every month to get out on the ocean and do some great snorkeling.
