Looking out at Waikiki Beach from the sea, Diamond Head presented a different view than usual, with the blue sky and blue ocean, and the gentle breeze made it perfect.
Whales appeared on the surface multiple times, and each time we were in a flurry of excitement.
I have visited Hawaii many times, but this was my first whale watching experience. I wasn't very interested at first, but it turned out to be much better than I expected.
ワイキキビーチを海から眺め、ダイヤモンドヘットもいつもと違う景色、青空に青い海、風も穏やかで最高でした。
クジラも何度も水面に姿をあらわし、その度に右往左往。
大きな船で船酔いもせず快適でした。
何度もハワイを訪れてますがホエールウォッチングは初めて、あまり興味なかったのですが思っていた以上でとても良かったです。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. The view from the sea is even more beautiful, and we recommend enjoying the scenery of Waikiki from a different perspective. We are very pleased that you were able to observe whales. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

On January 8, my spouse and I participated. We go to Oahu every year, but we rarely visit during this time, so we joined a whale watching tour for the first time, which can only be seen during this season.
After boarding, the captain provided explanations about the direction of the whales in English, but there was immediately a Japanese interpreter, so it wasn't a problem if you didn't understand English.
The meal was served buffet-style with a wide variety of drinks (alcoholic beverages were cash only) and desserts. When a whale appeared, the captain announced it, and the whale would show up in that direction, but it was a fleeting moment, making it challenging to capture. However, we were lucky to see the whale raise its tail about three times up close.
I had used the Star of Honolulu for dinner cruises a couple of times, and it was enjoyable to experience a different view of Waikiki at night. We participated in a course without transportation, but after disembarking, many shops inside Aloha Tower were closed and it was quite deserted. We took a 10-minute walk to explore downtown and Chinatown.
1月8日に夫婦で参加。
オワフには毎年行っているが、この時期は行くことが少ないので、この時期にしか観られないホエールウオッチングに初めて参加した。
乗船後、船長からクジラが出たときの方角等の説明が当然英語であるが、すぐに日本語通訳の説明があるので英語が分からなくても問題ない。
食事は、ブッフェ形式で飲み物(アルコール類はキャッシュ)、デザート等種類も豊富であった。
クジラが現れると船長のアナウンスがあり、その方向にクジラが出現するが、一瞬なのでタイミングが難しいが、近くで尾を上げる姿等3回ほど観られたのでラッキーであった。
スター・オブ・ホノルル号には夜のディナークルーズに2回ほど利用したが、ワイキキ等夜とは違った景観を楽しむことが出来た。
送迎なしのコースに参加したが、下船後はアロハタワー内の商店は店を閉めているところが多く閑散としているが、10分ほど歩いてダウンタウン、チャイナタウンを散策した。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed a different view compared to the dinner cruise.

I used this service during my honeymoon trip to Hawaii in January 2013. I was able to encounter whales several times. When the whales were visible, the staff would announce it and let us know. Until then, we could enjoy lunch and relax comfortably on the boat.
However, there are a few tips to keep in mind for whale watching:
- Whales tend to surface for only a few seconds to a few tens of seconds before returning to the water.
- Even if the staff informs you and you look in that direction, the whales may already be back underwater and not visible.
- Once you've finished your meal, if you go out on deck and leisurely gaze at the sea, you might spot whales even before the staff does, which seems to be a more efficient way to see them.
The onboard announcements were also in Japanese, which made the experience very enjoyable.
2013年1月に新婚旅行ではじめてハワイに行った際に利用しました。
くじらに何度か遭遇することができました。くじらが見える位置にきた際にはスタッフがアナウンスして教えてくれます。それまでは、ランチを楽しんで船内でゆったりくつろぐことができます。
ただし、くじらを見るためのこつとしては、次のポイントは押させていた方がいいかもしれません。
?くじらは、浮かんできても数秒~数十秒くらいでまた海の中に戻ってしまいます。
?スタッフが教えてくれて、その方角を見に行ってももう海の中にいてみれないこともあります。
?ある程度食事がすんだら、自らデッキにでてのんびり海を眺めていると、スタッフよりも早くくじらを発見できるので、こちらのほうが効率にくじらに会えるように思います。
船内では、日本語での案内もあり、とても楽しめました。

If you are interested in learning in-depth the attach on Pearl Harbor, the role that subs played in the war, the expanded use of aircraft during the war and the final surrender that took place on the USS Missouri then making use of the new passport that's being offered is for you. I spent an entire day taking advantage of the audio tours that are part of the passport package and was able to do all these things at my own pace. Admission to the sub, the Aviation Museum, the USS Missouri and the shuttle ride to Ford Island as well as the audio guide equipment are all included plus, if you prefer, you can have a guided tour of the Missouri instead of the audio. Of course there is no admission charge to visit the Arizona Memorial but you will get an audio guide device to tour the museum and the park area. The bottom line is that this passport offer is awesome if you have the time and are a WWII history buff.

- I found it worthwhile to participate, thinking I could experience the feeling of cruising.
- We encountered two whales and were able to see them spouting for a while.
- We frequently spotted dolphins, although they weren't very close.
- The Japanese-speaking guide made frequent announcements, which were easy to understand. Even during times when there were no whales, it was enjoyable to hear explanations about the scenery visible from the boat.
- I participated while carrying a small child in a baby carrier, and it wasn't too bumpy, so there were no issues.
- The restroom was spacious and well-maintained.
- The guide mentioned, "Today the whales are close," but I was surprised, thinking, "Is this really close?!" The visibility was such that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been told it was a whale. When pointed out, I could see the spouting between the waves.
- I was interested in the shopping mall around the pier, so I intentionally chose not to have a shuttle. However, many stores were closed, making it a rather lonely mall. I regretted not taking the shuttle plan to return right away, as there was no value in spending time there after the event. Instead, I visited the palace and Chinatown. It took just over ten minutes on foot through the office district to reach the palace. I returned by bus.
- I chose the breakfast plan. The coffee was decent, but the scrambled eggs were so bad that they made me feel sick just thinking about them. Since there were no whales, I went for a refill, but there was hardly anything left. If you want to eat a lot, be sure to take plenty during the initial serving, as there are very few options, so it's best not to have high expectations.
・クルージング気分を味わえると思えば参加する価値がありました。
・鯨は2頭遭遇でき、潮吹きがしばらく見れました。
・いるかはたびたび見かけました。いるかまでの距離はそれほど近くないです。
・日本語担当のガイドさんが、頻繁にアナウンスしてくれて分かりやすかったです。鯨がいない時間帯も、船から見える景色を説明してくれて楽しかったです。
・小さい子供をおんぶ紐で縛って参加しましたが、それほど揺れないし、問題ありませんでした。
・トイレも広くてきれいにしてありました。
・「今日は鯨が近いよ」とガイドさんが言ってましたが「この遠さで近いのか?!」と逆にびっくりしました。鯨だ!と言われなければ気が付かない程度の見え方です。言われてみれば、波の合間に潮吹きが、というレベル。
・船着き場周りのショッピングモールに興味があり、敢えて送迎なしにしました。しかしながら閉店しているお店も多く、とても淋しいモールでした。イベント後に寄る時間を用意する価値は全くなく、送迎プランですぐ帰った方が良かったと後悔しました。そこで宮殿とチャイナタウンへ寄りました。オフィス街と通って徒歩10分強で宮殿に着きました。帰りはバスで帰りました。
・朝食プランを選択しました。コーヒーは普通においしく、スクランブルエッグが思い出しても気持ち悪くなる程、まずかったです。鯨が出ないのでヒマでおかわりに行きましたが、ほとんど残っていませんでした。沢山食べたい方は、最初の盛り付けでたくさんよそってください。種類はとても少ないので期待しない方が良いです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
While we cannot approach the whales within 100 yards, there are days when the whales come closer to the boat. On days when we encounter active whales, you may even see them jumping. If you have the chance, please come back to look for such whales again.
Aloha Tower Marketplace used to be a bustling place with many shops until a few years ago, but unfortunately, most of the shops are now closed, and as you mentioned, it has become a rather lonely place. I believe that guests like you who extend their visit to Chinatown will have a more enjoyable experience.
Regarding your comments about the meal, I will translate them into English and forward them to the manager in charge to help improve our services in the future.

For any first timer to the island of Oahu, this is a must. Plan on an early morning tour or visit to Pearl Harbor. The afternoons can bring wind or rain. If the winds are to harsh, (whitecaps) they will shut down the boat ride over to the memorial. Acouple of things to consider while there, 1) tour the submarine located at the center, 2) tour the USS Missouri (I think) that is located across the water, but adjacent to the Arizona Memorial. We were not aware of either and wished to have seen.
For those serving our country - THANK YOU

This was an excellent show and we were so glad we attended. We actually chose to drive to Sea Park, however due to the distance and evening hours, we decided to contact Hawaii Activities to add the transportation 6 hours prior to departure. Hawaii Activities handled everything, and gave us simple instructions to hop aboard the tour bus which was a 1/2 block from where we stayed.
As for "Chiefs Luau", this was so much fun, the entertainment included so many from the crowd, and the "Chief" can definately entertain and bring so much laughter.
Plan on the early activities and particpate. They want to share there culture which is even more fun.
With the evening show, take a light jacket as it can get breezy once the sunsets.

This was my second half-day tour. I applied just by seeing "half-day tour" online, so I didn't realize that the activities available were limited. Due to a mistake in the guide's explanation, after waiting for my turn, I was told, "With this band color, you cannot go horseback riding," which was disappointing. If I had known in advance, I could have paid an additional fee to upgrade, but unfortunately, I didn't have the time.
Recently, it seems that the display has changed, and the available activities are listed, but I think it would be clearer to state, "Horseback riding is not available on this course." (By the way, upgrading is cheaper.) Also, since the guide for the pickup and drop-off is different, I couldn't ask immediately, and while I was having it confirmed at the reception, time passed, and I regret that time was wasted.
I think movie location tours and jeep tours can be enjoyable regardless of how many times you go, as the fun varies depending on the guide and the members you ride with.
2回目の半日ツアーでした。
ネットで「半日ツアー」とだけ見て申し込んだので、選べるアクティビティが限られていることがわかっていなかったのと、ガイドさんの説明間違いで、待って順番が回って来てから「このバンドの色では、乗馬はできません。」と言われ、がっかりしました。前もってわかっていれば、追加料金を払ってアップグレードできたのですが、時間がなくて残念でした。
最近では、表示が変わって、選べるアクティビティが書かれているようですが、「このコースでは乗馬はできません」と書いてあった方がわかりやすいと思います。(ちなみにアップグレードした方が安いです。)
また、送り迎えのガイドさんが違うので、すぐに尋ねようがなく、受付で確認してもらっているうちに時間がたってしまい、時間が無駄になったことが悔やまれます。
映画ロケ地めぐりツアーやジープツアーは、ガイドさんや乗ったメンバーによって面白さが違うので、何回行っても楽しめる内容だと思います。

Since it was a day with strong winds, we took motion sickness medication for both ourselves and the kids. The breakfast selection was limited, but the taste was quite good with sausage, rice, and oranges. For about 45 minutes after boarding, we only saw the whales spouting a couple of times, but then we got to see their tails and fins coming up and down several times, as well as some backflips, which was incredibly exciting through the binoculars from the fourth deck. My husband filmed it, so the kids could watch it later (the kids stayed with their mother on the boat). While on board, they prioritized explanations in Japanese (on the deck, they provided Japanese guidance after the English announcements, but by then the whales had already submerged), and there were several staff members who spoke Japanese, with the captain even playing with our child. I recommend staying on the fourth deck even if you don't understand English, as it's easier to see from above. We were lucky. Thank you, Joy.
風の強い日の参加だったので、子供共々酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。朝食の種類は少ないですが、味はソーセージ、ご飯、オレンジなど結構美味しかった。乗船して45分くらいは2.3度の鯨の潮吹きだけでしたが、そのうち鯨のしっぽや横向きでヒレを何度も上げ下げしたり背面ジャンプしたりと4階から双眼鏡越しに大興奮。横の主人がビデオ撮影してくれたので後から子供もゆっくり見られました(子供は母と船内で)。船内にいる間日本語での説明を優先してくれたり(デッキにいると英語の後に日本語案内、でもその時には鯨は潜ってしまう)、日本語の話せるスタッフが何人かいらっしゃり、キャプテンはうちの子供と遊んでいてくれていました。英語が分からなくても4階デッキにいることをおすすめします、上から見るほうがわかりやすいので。ラッキーでした。ジョイありがとう。

I go to Hawaii every year, and this was my second time participating. My son (11 years old) is really looking forward to the horseback riding here. There are options for valley riding and beach riding, but I think the valley riding is more enjoyable since it lasts for an hour and a half and includes some ups and downs.
During the valley riding, at the end, the instructor takes photos of each person on their horse from a scenic spot with your own camera. Don't forget to bring a digital camera or similar!

We participated in a breakfast course with three family members. We saw the tail just once, but our child is only five years old, so we didn't have time to lift them up and see it properly. The breakfast was delicious. Since we ate in the dining room on the first floor, it didn't have the excitement of a 3-star or 5-star cruise. If a whale had appeared, it would have been more lively, but without that, we were just staring at the waves, which became boring. I think snorkeling would be better for families with children.

I was looking for spouts and saw something black come up to the surface, but honestly, I couldn't tell if it was a whale or not. After the tour, there was a recheck desk, but I didn't have time, so I got off without receiving a reboarding ticket.
How many whales can you actually see on this tour? Can you see them up close like it says on the website or in guidebooks? From the experiences I've read, it seems like about half of the people see whales and half do not, but if those who saw them only caught a distant glimpse like I did, I don't think it's worth participating. I was able to see whales from a distance later at Kamaole Beach in Maui.
However, since it's quite a nice boat, if you think of it as a cruise, you won't feel too disappointed.
午前中のツアーに参加しました。一度だけすごく遠くから鯨がチラッと見れただけです。水吹きを探して、何か黒いものが水面に上がったのを見ましたが、正直鯨かどうかもわかりませんでした。ツアー終了後Recheckの受付はありましたが、時間がないので、再乗船券をもらわずに降りました。
そもそもこのツアーはどのぐらい鯨が見られるんでしょうか?ホームページやガイドブックに載っているような、すごい近くで見ることができるんでしょうか?体験談を見ると、見れない人と「見た」人半々ぐらいですが、もし「見た」人も私のように遠くから見ただけなら、あまり参加しなくてもいいと思います。その後マウイのカマオレビーチで普通に遠くから鯨が見れましたから。
ただし、結構立派な船なので、クルーズだと思ってしまえば、そんなに損した気分にはならないです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to observe any whales this time.
During the cruise, we exchange information with other boats to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to see whales.
The whale watching cruise is a limited-time offering from December to April, so the re-boarding tickets we distributed are only valid during that period. We sincerely apologize to travelers who do not have time to re-board.
Regarding the distance from the whales, due to legal regulations, boats must maintain a distance of 100 meters from the whales.
Your valuable feedback will be translated into English and forwarded to each manager to help improve future cruises.
Thank you very much.

It was my first time horseback riding, and all three of us were truly satisfied with the smart horses. However, I had prepared under the assumption that we would be able to sightsee in Haleiwa, so it was disappointing that we only passed by and saw it from the car window. This experience is not suitable for those who want to shop or explore in Haleiwa. The taste was not as good as I had hoped, but I was able to enjoy the huli huli chicken and garlic shrimp, and I had a pleasant day overall. The guide was knowledgeable and flexibly took us to points where sea turtles come ashore. Thanks to that, I was able to take a great photo with a large turtle, which became a wonderful memory.
初めての乗馬でしたが、本当に賢い馬ばかりで、参加した3人とも大満足でした。
ただ、ハレイワの街を観光できるものと思い込んで下調べをするなどして準備していたので、車窓から見て通り過ぎるだけだったのは残念でした。
ハレイワで買物や見学をしたい方には不向きです。
味は期待したほどではなかったけれどフリフリチキンやガーリックシュリンプも食べる事ができたし、気持ちのよい一日を過ごす事ができました。
ガイドさんは物知りで、海亀の上陸するポイントなども臨機応変に案内して下さいました。おかげで、大きな亀とのツーショットを撮る事もでき良い思い出になりました。

I had seen the fireworks from Aloha Tower before, so I wanted to change things up, and I had always wanted to ride the Star of Honolulu, so I decided to participate.
Initially, I imagined that there would be some not-so-great food served, and we would just wait for the fireworks while drinking. However, the food was not only plentiful but also quite tasty, and there was a show to keep us entertained from departure to arrival. I think it lasted just under three hours, and I had a great time.
As for the scenery, the sunset was nice, but the night view of Honolulu was beautiful, and I was satisfied because I could see the fireworks well.
If I had to mention a downside, it would be that it was quite cramped due to the number of people, and most of the participants were Japanese, which made it feel a bit lacking in local charm. The woman sitting next to me seemed to be seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to be cautious.
アロハタワーからの花火は見たことが有るので趣向を変えてみてみたいと思っていた事と、一度はスターオブホノルルに乗ってみたいと思っていたので参加しました。
当初想像としてはあまりおいしくない食事が少し出て、後は飲み物でも飲みながら花火が上がるまで待つのかなと思っていましたが、料理は量もさることながら味の方もなかなかでしたし、出港から帰港までショーで盛り上げてくれて3時間弱だったと思いますが楽しく過ごせました。
又、景色ですがサンセットもそれなりに綺麗なのでしょうが、夜景のホノルルの町も綺麗で、花火も良く見えた事から満足しています。
難点を言えばかなり詰め込むので窮屈な事と参加のほとんどが日本人であまり風情が無い事でしょうか。私の隣の席にいた女性は船酔いをしている様でしたので乗り物に弱い人も少し注意した方が良いかもしれません。
Thank you very much for participating in our New Year's Eve cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food and entertainment. It's a way to spend New Year's Eve that you can't easily experience in Japan.
This special cruise is very popular and sells out every year, which we are truly grateful for. However, it is also true that with so many guests enjoying themselves, the seating can feel a bit cramped. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort this may have caused.
We hope you will come back and enjoy our cruise again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

We participated in a tour on the morning of December 19, just as the season started, as a couple. Although we only got to see a dolphin briefly, it was not a disappointing experience, and we were satisfied with the cruise, which had a different charm from the sunset dinner. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the background of the photo taken during boarding included an old warehouse and a cargo ship. (However, since it was a keepsake, I ended up purchasing it...) The food was cheap. Since we were returning home the next day, the reboarding ticket seems like it will go to waste, but I was satisfied as it provided a good conversation starter.
今シーズンがスタートしたばかりの12/19の午前中のツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
イルカをちょっと見られただけで、残念な結果ではありましたが、サンセットディナーとは趣の違うクルーズで満足でした。
敢えて苦言を呈するなら、乗船時の写真撮影で、背景に古ぼけた倉庫と貨物船が写っていたこと。(でも、記念なので購入しましたが・・・)。食事がチープ。
翌日帰国だったので、再乗船のチケットは無駄になりそうですが、話のタネとして満足でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the meals and photos.
