Oahu
I boarded the Star of Honolulu and participated in a whale watch. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales that day. We gathered at 8:45, but we left the hotel early and took an Uber because my wife doesn't like getting seasick, so we chose the Star of Honolulu.
We were warmly welcomed by the crew and the captain as we boarded the ship. The crew provided us with drinks and banana cake, along with explanations about the enjoyment of whale watching and the ecology of whales before we set sail.
We each went to the third deck and the rooftop deck, ready for the whale watch. Squinting our eyes and listening to the announcements over the ship's intercom, we soaked up the sun while looking at the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, but the whales didn't appear for quite a while. After turning back, we ended up spending over two hours on board without seeing any whales this time. However, it was a fun time. On the way back, we received tickets to board again, and I'm looking forward to the next time!
スターオブホノルルに乗船してホエールウォッチ参加しました 残念ながら当日は見れませんでした。8:45集合でしたがホテルを早めに出てUberで 妻が船酔いが嫌なのでスターオブホノルルにしました
クルーや船長の暖かい出迎えで船内に
クルーからの説明でドリンクとバナナケーキを。ホエールウォッチの楽しみやホエールの生態などの説明があり出航
3階デッキや屋上デッキに各々行きいざホエールウォッチ 眼を細めて また艦内放送からのお知らせを聞きながら日光にあたりワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドをみながら、なかなか現れないホエール 折り返してから結局2時間あまりの乗船で今回は見れませんでした。でも楽しいひと時でした。帰りにまた乗船出来るチケットをもらい次回を楽しみにしてます
It's all about luck whether you can see it, so please enjoy!
見れるかは運なのですから楽しんでください
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu as a couple. Unfortunately, we did not see any whales this time, but we are very pleased that you both enjoyed the morning cruise. Thank you for the many photos and your review. We look forward to your next visit. We hope you will be able to see whales on your next trip with us.
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。今回は残念ながらクジラが現れませんでしたが、朝のクルーズをお二人で楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。沢山のお写真と今回の口コミも有難うございました。又のお越しをお待ちしております。次回の再乗船にてクジラが見れると良いですね。
I finally got to go to the Makapu'u Trail, which I've been interested in for a long time! When we stopped by the blowhole, it was raining heavily, but by the time we reached Makapu'u, the weather cleared up, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The views of Kailua and the mountains were stunning. The driver was very kind and made a stop at Leonard's for everyone’s request, so we didn’t have to go to the shop ourselves. I heard some people took the Blue Line of the Waikiki Trolley, but I think the tour is convenient and offers good value for both time and cost. I was hoping to see whales, but unfortunately, we didn’t spot any. If we had, it would have been a five-star experience. Thank you!
前から興味を持っていた、マカプウトレイルにとうとう行けました!ブローホールに立ちよった時は雨がひどかったのですが、マカプウについた頃は晴れて、景色を堪能できました。カイルア方面や山々、絶景でした。ドライバーさんがとても親切で、みんなのリクエストでレナーズのトラックにも寄ってくれたので、お店に行かなくてもすみました。ワイキキトロリーのブルーラインで行く方もいるようですが、ツアーが便利でタイパ、コスパともにいいと思います。クジラも期待していたのですが、見られませんでした。見られたら⭐5つです。ありがとうございました。
Since the wind was strong, please be careful not to let your hat fly away. During this time of year, when it rains, your body can get cold, so take precautions.
風が強かったので、帽子を飛ばされないように気をつけてください。この時期、雨がふると体が冷えるので対策を。
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 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。
There were places that were difficult to reach by bus, but it was very fulfilling as we were able to efficiently visit them while listening to the guide's explanations.
バスなどでは行きにくい場所も、ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら効率よくまわってもらえるのでとても充実していました。
I have been to Oahu many times, but I had never taken a tour around the island, so I joined this one-day tour!
A man named Jonah guided us in Japanese, which made it very easy to understand and enjoyable.
What I was most satisfied with was being able to visit various famous spots! We used our time effectively, and Jonah explained the recommended attractions and highlights at each stop, so even in a short time, I was able to learn a lot and it was very fulfilling♡
The tour felt more like sightseeing rather than activities, so I think even older people can enjoy it!
We also went to the mountains, so the weather was a mix of rain and sunshine, but it didn’t affect our enjoyment at all.
I highly recommend this tour!♡
オアフ島に何度も行ったことがありますが
周遊したことが無かったので、
1日で周れるこちらのツアーに参加!
ジョナさんという男性が
日本語で案内してくれたので
とっても分かりやすく楽しかったです。
何より色んな名所に行けたのが
凄く満足でした!!
時間も有効的に使え、
寄った観光地のおすすめや
見どころなど毎回説明してくださったので
短い時間の中でも色々知ることができ
とても充実してました♡
アクティビティより観光地巡りという
感じなので、年配の方でも楽しめると
思います!
山の方も行くので天候は雨が降ったり
止んだりでしたが、関係なく楽しめます。
とってもおすすめなツアーです♡!
The inside of the moving vehicle isn't too cold, but it might be a good idea to bring a long-sleeve shirt just in case! If you're prone to motion sickness, it's essential to have some motion sickness
移動中の車内はそこまで寒くはないですが、念のため長袖は持参した方が良いかもです!酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須!飲み物は途中買えるところもありますが持参をお勧めします。日本語で全然平気です!
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!
If you do not want to drive this tour is perfect for some time to explore the gorgeous Haleiwa!
Lots to see and taste, really good evening of Hawaiian culture!
Our favorite way to end of trip in Hawaii is at Mauka Luau, I love the new location!
Wonderful guide (forgot his name!) a great day around island for not wanting to driveit!
Short and sweet while you get a preset ticket to Arizona which is awesome.
Convenient, and the driver was a good chat on the island.
Really wonderful to upgrade to this awesome dinner schedule
A great day filled with so many awesome local spots and businesses!
Not only do you get a great show you get a great laugh throughout - perfect balance!
The dancers and team are so talented, what an amazing show they pull off!
The main grounds of the park have so many different areas to check out, the day is certainly filled with information of all that happened that day!
My kids loved all the pre-show fun they have included, and the food was actually pretty stinking good!
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
Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff
There are tours available at 7:30 or 11:00, and we participated in the 7:30 tour. The 11:00 departure is more popular. The reason for its popularity is that local shops open after 10:00. However, if you go at 7:30, many shops are still closed, but there are fewer people, making it comfortable to explore. If you enjoy leisurely visiting shops, I recommend this option.
7時半もしくは11時のツアーがあり、自分たちは7時半に参加しました。
11時出発のほうが人気です。
人気の理由は、現地のお店が10時過ぎからオープンするためです。
ただ、7時半に行く場合は、開店前のお店が多いですが、その分人も少なく
散策が快適でした。
のんびりしつつお店を巡るのが好きな方はおすすめです。
If you're planning to arrive at 7:30, you'll get to the location before 9:00, so I think it's best to carefully adjust the schedule for the places you want to visit.
7時半の場合は、現地に着くのが9時前になるため、行きたい場所のスケジュール調整は念入りにしたほうが良いと思います。
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。
I felt at ease driving while being guided. The detailed explanations about the Dole Plantation and North Shore made for a very enjoyable day!
ガイドしながら運転も安心できました。Doleプランテーションやノースショアも詳しく説明してくれてとても楽しい一日になりました!
Not only with Japanese people but also with people from various countries, I experienced a sense of being abroad as they skillfully used both English and Japanese.
日本人だけでなく色々な国の人たちと一緒になり、英語と日本語を巧みに使ってくれて海外にいる感じを味わいました。
Thank you very much for participating in our Royal Star bus tour with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the North Shore and the Dole Plantation. It's great that you were able to make friends with customers from other countries as well. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。ノースショアそして、ドールプランテーションも楽しんで頂いたようで大変嬉しく思っております。他の国のお客様とも仲良くなれて良かったですね。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。
