Beware of sudden rain showers! スコールに注意！

Reviewed by: Npopo

The buggy experience itself was amazing! However, I got caught in a sudden downpour and ended up soaking wet (laughs). They sell ponchos at the shop, but they're really basic, so I strongly recommend bringing your own poncho from Japan if you're planning to participate. You never know when or where a downpour might happen. Also, you will get really dirty, so I highly recommend wearing dark-colored clothes.

バギー体験自体は最高！ただ、突然のスコールにみまわれたため、びしょ濡れ(笑)ポンチョが売店に売ってるけど、本当に簡易的なので、参加予定の人は日本のポンチョの持参を強くおすすめします。スコールはいつどこで起こるか本当に解らないので。また、めちゃめちゃ汚れます。そのため、黒ベースの服を着ていくことを強くお勧めします。

The Bishop Museum was very good. ビショップミュージアムとても良かった

Reviewed by: 横浜のハワイ大好きおじさん

I printed the voucher and headed to the reception desk, where the check-in process went smoothly without any issues. At the desk, I installed the QR code for the Japanese guide, and I was informed about the start time of the Japanese guided tour and where to wait. Although all the information was provided in English, it was explained in a way that was easy to understand, even for someone like me who struggles with English.

The Japanese guide was supposed to last 30 minutes, but it ended up being 45 minutes, allowing me to learn about Hawaii's history in an easy-to-understand manner. The exhibits were wonderful and very impressive. In particular, the decorations on the capes and hats used bird feathers, and it was interesting to learn that these birds are already extinct.

I believe the prices from Veltra were probably discounted advance purchase rates, which were much cheaper than the regular prices, and that was a great help. If you're interested in Hawaii's history, I definitely recommend visiting.

バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。
日本語での案内は30分間とありましたが、45分間案内されハワイの歴史などわかりやすく勉強することができました。
展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。
ハワイの歴史に興味のある方是非訪れてください。

Reviewed by: TIRO

I chose the hotel shuttle plan, so it was easy to participate. I was able to chat with strangers sitting next to me at the table (an elderly white couple from California), and it was enjoyable. During the meal, there was singing and dancing on the floor, which really lifted my spirits. From the upper deck, we could see the night view of Honolulu, and it was a different kind of emotional experience compared to the scenery from the beach, which I think will remain a memorable moment.

ホテル送迎プランを選んだので楽に参加出来た。テーブルの隣同士の見知らぬ人とも色々とお話し出来て（カリフォルニア州から来た高齢の白人夫婦）楽しかったです。
食事の最中もフロアで歌や踊りがあり、気分は上々。上のデッキからはホノルルの夜景が見えて、ビーチから見る風景とは、また違った感動があって思い出に残ると思います。

I participated with my daughter at Pacific Star Cruise. To put it simply, it was so good that I definitely want to bring the whole family, including grandparents, next time!

The variety of food at the buffet was limited, but we ate until we were full! In particular, my child loved the yakisoba and miso chicken.

And above all, the entertainment was fantastic! There were hula performances by both men and women, as well as couples, and my child was able to join in on the hula experience! Since we made a reservation for Friday, we were able to enjoy the Hilton fireworks along with the night view of Waikiki, and we ended with a group dance! Perhaps aiming for the Japanese audience? We all danced to YMCA! Since it’s a song that kids know, everyone from young to old could join in☆ The dancers were also very entertaining and had a great sense of service! The servers took good care of us, making it easy to give a tip.

For about 30,000 yen for the two of us, this experience was more than enough! I want to come back!

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Lovely cruise with wonderful sunset and waikiki beach view!

Reviewed by: Jim & Susan

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tour with Reserved Tickets & Shuttle from Waikiki

Diamond head hike

Reviewed by: Rose family

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

This was my fourth dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu. It was my first time experiencing the fireworks on a Friday. If you're in a small group, I recommend getting a window seat for a small additional fee. The food was decent. In the past, there was an all-you-can-eat crab option, but this time it was just one plate. I was looking forward to the crab (laughs). After dinner and the entertainment, we watched the fireworks in Waikiki from the sea. They were a bit far away. Since they could only be seen from the port side, almost everyone gathered on that side, causing the boat to tilt. Well, it was still good.

Joined morning whale watching cruise by Star of Honolulu. The cruise started from detailed explanation of naturist, and my sons enjoyed listening to the facts about humpback whales before actually seeing it afterwards.
We saw the whale right after departing the port and captain maneuver the ship very well so that we could chase and see the whale several times. Unfortunately the whale was not so entertaining this time and we couldn’t see live actions like tail slap or bleaching.
Still we’ve enjoyed the whale watching including the hospitality of the clue.
Good to know they will give another chance for free if you cannot see whale during the cruise.

Cruise on a large ship and encounter with whales. 大型船でのクルーズとクジラとの遭遇

Reviewed by: だいくらっぷ

It was a comfortable cruise, possibly due to the large ship, as my wife, who easily gets seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, didn't feel any nausea at all. There were times when I could feel the ship swaying up and down, but we were so engrossed in searching for whale spouts that it was completely fine. For those who are anxious, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding. During our whale search, although they were far away, we were able to see the spouts, dorsal fins, and parts of the bodies multiple times, which was very satisfying. It was impressive to see them seemingly jump as well. The captain and the female tour guide had such warm personalities that it felt great from the morning greeting. The peppermint rain we received when we got off was so delicious that I wish they would sell it. It was such a fulfilling experience that I even thought about going again the next day. From my husband's perspective, the power of the planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport was incredible, allowing us to enjoy both at once, which was the best. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.

まずは酔い止めを飲んでも酔いやすい妻がまったく船酔いしなかったくらい、大型船というのもあったのか快適なクルーズでした。時には上下に揺れてるなという感覚はあるけどクジラの潮吹き探しに夢中になり全然大丈夫だったとのことです。不安な方は酔い止めを飲んでから乗った方がもちろん良いと思います。そのクジラ探しでは遠くではあったものの何度も潮吹きからの尾ビレや一部のボディも見れて大満足でした。ジャンプまでしたように見えたのが印象的でした。キャプテンも添乗員の女性の方も人柄が滲み出ていて朝の挨拶から気持ちよかったです。降りる時にいただいたハッカの雨がとても美味しくて販売して欲しいなとなってます。めちゃくちゃ充実していたので次の日も行こうと思ったくらいです。夫の私的には近くの飛行場から離着陸する飛行機の迫力も凄まじく一度に二つ楽しめて最高でした。次回ハワイに来た時も必ず行かせていただきます。

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Beautiful Sunset!

Reviewed by: Matthew

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.

On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.

The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

I enjoyed the wonderful sunset and the luxurious meal. すばらしい夕陽と豪華な食事で楽しみました

Reviewed by: こばこば

To celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, we both went to Hawaii for the first time. We participated in a luxurious 5-star course.

Welcomed by a hula performance, we boarded the ship and took the elevator to the top floor, the 4th floor. Inside the calm ship, with a grand piano, we were shown to a window seat and offered welcome champagne. When I mentioned that I wasn't comfortable with alcohol, they brought us non-alcoholic champagne.

As we set sail, live piano music began, and we started our meal. It began with appetizers, followed by a main lobster salad and fruit sorbet. For our second drink, we had Blue Hawaii, which also had a non-alcoholic option.

During a break in the meal, we stepped out onto the deck to see the sun beginning to set over the ocean, creating a vibrant sunset. I couldn't help but take mental snapshots. On the opposite side, the lights of the hotels along Waikiki Beach started to shine, and it was very beautiful.

When we returned inside, they brought out the main dish, prime tenderloin beef, as if they had been waiting for us, and we enjoyed it along with jazz music. The meat was very tender and cut easily with a knife. The dessert was also very delicious.

The jazz live performance continued until we disembarked, with the staff seeing us off. Although there was a bit of strong wind and swaying, it made me feel like I was truly on a cruise ship, and I was very satisfied.

出港すると、ピアノの生演奏が始まり、早速食事。前菜に始まり、メインロブスターのサラダとフルーツシャーベット、2杯目の飲み物はブルーハワイ、これもノンアルコールがありました。
ちょっと食事の合間に、デッキに出ると太陽が海に沈みはじめ、鮮やかな夕陽が…思わず心のシャッターをパチリパチリと・・・逆サイドではワイキキビーチ沿いのホテル群の灯りも輝きはじめ、とてもきれいでした。
船内に戻ると、待っていたようにメインであるプライムテンダーロインビーフを持ってきてくれ、ジャズ音楽とともに堪能しました。肉がとても柔らかく、簡単にナイフで切れます。デザートもとてもおいしかったです。
スタッフに見送られての下船までジャズライブが続きました。
ちょっと風が強く横揺れがありましたが、逆にクルーズ船に乗っているんだとの実感も感じられ、とても満足でした。

There were many tourists, and the boat was fully packed. A group from Korea was quite loud, so it was good that we had a window seat. The sunset was very beautiful, and we enjoyed the live performance as well. It gets cold when the sun goes down, so it's good to have a jacket.

I encountered many whales and even saw a few dolphins, making it a very satisfying tour. When whales or dolphins appear, the staff will guide you on their direction, so I think it's hard to miss them. However, there is only one restroom available, so it's best to take care of that before boarding for peace of mind. Since it's a morning tour, it's also nice that you can schedule activities for the afternoon. (The departure point is near Aloha Tower, so exploring after disembarking is a good idea.)

沢山のクジラと出会えました。また、少しですがイルカも見れて大満足のツアーでした。クジラやイルカが現れた時にはスタッフの方が方角を教えてくれるので、見逃すことも少ないと思います。

Emotional whale watching 感動のホエールウォッチング

My first whale watching experience!
I happened to visit Hawaii during the season when whales can be seen, so I thought it was a rare opportunity and joined a tour.
About 20-30 minutes after boarding, we were able to see whales right away! The view is great from the upper deck, but since it's a bit far away, I recommend watching from the lower deck for a closer look. While we couldn't get extremely close, I was very moved to see a whale in person for the first time! The sea breeze was pleasant, and the whole experience of being on the boat was enjoyable.

たまたま鯨を見れる時期にハワイを訪れたので、なかなかない機会だと思いツアーに参加しました。

I was able to see it, but... 見ることは出来たけれど

Reviewed by: 小さなクジラ

I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything since I participated in late March, but shortly after we set sail, a whale appeared! It spouted water and I was able to see its tail as well. However, it was a small whale and it was just a brief moment.

After that, there were a couple of brief appearances of small whales in the first half, but they were really just for an instant. In the second half, we didn't see anything at all, which left a feeling of disappointment.

Still, I’m glad I got to see a whale, even if just once in my life. If you imagine a big whale spouting water or slapping its large tail on the surface of the sea, you might end up feeling like, "Is that all there is?"

3月下旬に参加のため、見られるのか心配していたものの、出航して間もなく、くじらが現れてくれました。潮を吹いて、尾っぽも見ることが出来ました。しかし、小さなクジラで一瞬の出来事でした。
その後、前半に2回くらい小さなクジラが一瞬現れてくれたものの、本当に一瞬でした。後半は全く見られず、尻すぼみ感がありました。
それでも、一生に一度でもクジラを見られて良かったです。
大きな鯨が現れて潮を吹いてくれるとか、大きな尻尾を海水面に叩きつけるとか想像を膨らませて参加すると、そんなもんか〜という感想になるかもしれません。

I participated in early March.
I had a great time on a cruise overlooking the coast of Hawaii.
Since you never know where the whales will appear, we only saw them for a moment, but we were able to see a whale's tail and it spouting water. The captain worked hard to adjust the boat's position so we could see the whales.
The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking, but I think it would be reassuring to take motion sickness medication. Also, it was windy and cold on the water, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket. It was chilly in short sleeves.

3月上旬に参加しました。

クジラはどこに出るかわからないので、見えたのは一瞬でしたが、私達はクジラのしっぽと潮吹きしているところを見ることができました。船長ががんばってクジラが見えるように船の位置を調整してくれていました。
船は大きいので、そこまで揺れが強いとは感じませんでしたが、酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心かなと思います。また、海の上は風が強く寒いので、長袖の上着を持っていくのがおすすめです。半袖だと寒かったです。

The best part for me was when we stopped at a beach to try and see turtles and my family did spot some playful ones! We stopped and had garlic shrimp for lunch which was delicious and filling and we ended the day shopping in Haleiwa Town. I think we stopped at like 3 beaches and the Blowhole. It was a whirlwind and a little taste of everything!

【冬季限定！1/3～3/21】ホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号　1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船！軽食＆ドリンク付き＜ワイキキ送迎可＞

I firmly etched it in my memory. しっかり目に焼き付けました。

I have been to Hawaii many times, and this was my second time seeing whales, but my eldest daughter had never had the opportunity, so we decided to participate this time. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much since I didn't see many last time, but perhaps the location was good, as a mother and her three calves appeared alongside the boat.

ハワイは何度も来ていて私はクジラは2度目でしたが長女は機会がなかったので今回参加する事にしました。前回余り見れなかったので正直期待していませんでしたがポイントが良かったのか3頭の親子が船と並走するように現れてくれました。

サンセット・ディナークルーズ 　スターオブホノルル号　ライブショーと選べるビュッフェまたはコースディナー

A calm atmosphere suitable for adults. 大人向けの落ち着いた雰囲気

The pickup location was at the Hokulani, but we paid a total of $4 for two people to change it to the Sheraton. At the pickup location, we were given a sticker indicating our participation in the plan. (Photo 1) The driver who came to pick us up was the only person who spoke Japanese and provided various explanations. When we arrived at the pier, there was usually a welcome dance by both men and women, but due to the weather that day, they were not dancing and greeted us with umbrellas instead. Following the staff's guidance, we took the elevator (Photo 2) to the fourth floor. We were shown to our table, where a bottle of champagne was already prepared and poured for us. (We hadn't ordered the champagne, but it seems it was included in the course?) Just as I thought it would be impossible to finish a whole bottle, they collected it after I poured my second glass. It turned out to be a mistake; I got tipsy after just two glasses of champagne.

Since it was our 40th wedding anniversary, we chose a live show with a buffet/course dinner included / a luxurious 5-course meal (with prime tenderloin), and opted for a guaranteed window seat or private seating + a commemorative photo.

From the beginning, a set of snacks was prepared in the center of the table. There were many varieties, and they were delicious. (Photos 3, 4) Each table had a rough outline of the tour and drinks written in both English and Japanese. (Photos 5, 6) For non-alcoholic drinks, I should have asked for a virgin. The non-alcoholic drinks came with a plumeria flower.

The 5-star experience, while not having a washlet compared to the 3-star, had very clean and nice restrooms. When I handed over the card I received during my last 3-star cruise, I was given a keychain. (Photo 7) During the meal, there was a greeting from the captain (female) and interactions from the crew. During breaks in the meal, most people went outside the ship to take commemorative photos.

Before docking, the 5-star experience was lively with jazz and singing. The 3-star became chaotic before docking, involving all the guests. The 5-course allowed us to sit calmly and just listen to the jazz, which I personally preferred for its relaxed adult atmosphere. They provided napkins, but the 3-course required us to break and eat a whole lobster with our hands and tools, which left our hands smelling and dirty. The lobster in the 5-course was split in half, making it easy to eat with a knife and fork.

Two drinks were included, with the drinks shown in the photos: blue Hawaii on the right and strawberry daiquiri on the left (Photo 8), lemon-lime on the right and lava flow on the left (Photo 9).

The atmosphere was calm with jazz (Photo 10), and in the end, we won for being the couple with the longest anniversary at 40 years. There was a dance for the anniversary couples. The last coffee was served black, without milk or sugar, which was bitter for me, perhaps due to the lack of time.

Having taken the Star of Honolulu multiple times, I didn't need the printed photos as they were bulky and unnecessary. After negotiating, I requested the photos in digital format. In addition to the celebration plan, I directly called a Hawaiian company, and for $20, I received two photos on a USB memory stick instead of via the internet. The capacity was 1GB (with 959MB usable), containing the two photos.

　ピックアップ場所は宿泊先がホクラニだったが2人で合計4$払ってシェラトンに変更してもらった。ピックアップ場所で係より参加のプランを示すシールを渡された。（写真１）迎えに来たドライバーは日本語が話せる唯一の人で、いろいろ説明してくれた。桟橋に着くといつもは男女の踊りでお迎えだったが、この日は天気のせいか踊っていなかった、傘をさしてのお出迎えだった。係の案内で4階までエレベーター（写真２）で移動することになっていた。係の案内でテーブル席に案内され、準備してあったボトルのシャンパンを注いでくれた。（シャンパンは頼んでいないはずだったが、コースについていたらしい？）ボトル1本飲むのは無理と思いながら2杯目ついだところで、ボトルが回収された。やはり間違いだったらしい、シャンパン2杯でよっぱらってきた）。
　結婚40周年なので、ライブショーと選べるビュッフェ／コースディナー付き / 豪華5スター（プライムテンダーロイン付き5コース）、オプションで窓際席またはプライベート席確約+記念写真を選択した。　
　席には最初から中央におつまみセットが準備されていた。種類が沢山あり美味しかった。（写真３、４）
　各テーブルにツアーの大まかな流れ、飲み物等を英語と日本語で書いた物が置いてあった。（写真５，６）アルコール抜きはバージンと頼べばよかった。アルコール抜きにはプリメリアの花が添えてあった。
　5スターは3スターに比べればウオシュレットではなかったがトイレも大変きれいで良かった。昨年3スター乗船時くれたカードを渡したら、キーホルダーがもらえた。（写真７）食事中にはキャプテン（女性）の挨拶も、クルーの話しかけもあった。食事の空き時間にほとんどの人は、船外に出て記念写真を撮っていた、
　寄港前5スターはジャズと歌で盛り上がる。3スターは寄港前から大騒ぎになり全てのお客が巻き込まれてしまう。5コースは、落ち着いて座ったままで、ジャズを聞いていればいいので私は個人的には落ち着いた大人の雰囲気の5コースが気に入った。おしぼりはくれるけど3コースは丸ごとロブスター1匹を手と道具で割って食べるので、手に匂いがつくし汚れる。5コースのロブスターは半身に割ってあるのでナイフとフオークで楽々食べることが出来た。
　ドリンクは2杯付、ドリンクの写真右ブルーハワイと左ストロベリーダイリキ（写真８）、右レモンライムと左ラバフロー（写真９）
　ジャズで落ち着いた雰囲気（写真10）、最後は結婚記念日の長さで40年の私達が優勝。記念日のカップルのダンス。最後のコーヒーは時間がなかったせいか、ミルク砂糖なしのブラックで私には苦かった。
　何度もスターオブホノルルに乗船しているので利用できない印刷した写真は持って帰るのにかさばるし沢山あっていらない、写真をデータで欲しいと交渉してもらった結果。セレブレーションプランに加え、私が直接ハワイの会社に電話して20$かかったデータでの写真（2枚）の渡しは、インターネットでの送付ではなく当日USBメモリでもらえた。容量は１G（使えるのは959MB）の中に2枚の写真が入っていた。

I could see it a little from afar. 遠くで少し見えた

Reviewed by: フク

I participated in the morning session on March 8. There were designated meeting points at nearby hotels, and we took a bus to the port. Most participants were Japanese, and the staff didn't seem to speak Japanese particularly well. There were plenty of Japanese signs and information, so I didn't have much trouble.

As for the whales, we could see their tails and spouts from a distance, but it wasn't satisfying. Also, it was quite windy and cold on the boat, so I felt that a jacket was necessary rather than just a light layer. I wouldn't recommend wearing shorts either.

It seems that this is the tail end of the whale-watching season, so I guess it's understandable that we couldn't see them well, which is my impression after returning.

3/8の午前中の回で参加しました。
近隣のホテルごとに集合場所が設けられ、バスに乗って港まで行きます。
参加者は日本人が多め、スタッフは特に日本語ができる様子はありませんでした。
案内の表示などでは日本語も多くて困ることは少なかったです。
肝心のクジラはというと、少し離れた場所で尻尾が見えたり、潮吹きが見えたりといった感じで満足とは言えないくらいでした。
また、船上は風が強くて寒いので、羽織るもの程度ではなく上着が必要かなと感じました。短パンもお勧めできません。
ホエールウォッチングとしてはギリギリの時期らしいのでしっかり見れなかったのも仕方ないかなというのが帰ってからの感想です。
