Unique experience with a knowledgeable and fun crew! Common sense and safety first approach put us all at ease, so the swim was nothing but fun. We also saw dolphins, green turtle and a whale! They even pointed out to listen for a whale song under the water, which we heard!! If on Oahu, this is a must!

I participated because I wanted to see whales. I was able to enjoy watching the whales swimming alongside the boat. Although I didn't see any jumping whales, I could feel the presence of these large animals as they spouted water and showed their tails, making it a tour filled with the dynamism of nature.
The view from the boat was also very nice, allowing me to enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki, the mountains, and Diamond Head from the sea side. The pineapple banana cake on board was also very delicious.
クジラが見たくて参加しました。クジラが船と並走して泳いでいる様子を楽しむことができました。
ジャンプするクジラの様子は見られませんでしたが、潮をふいていたり、尻尾を出したり、大きな動物の存在を感じることができ自然のダイナミックさがあるツアーでした。
船内からの景色もとても良く、ワイキキ、山脈、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど、海から陸側のパノラマビューも同時に楽しむことができました。
船内でのパイナップルバナナケーキもとても美味しかったです。

I participated using the hotel shuttle service. A large bus came, and it was very comfortable.
Breakfast was very delicious.
I was able to see a mother and baby whale!
Since it was a four-story boat, it was interesting to see the whales from the top and from below, as the view was different.
The top deck swayed quite a bit, so I think those who are prone to motion sickness might need some medication.
There were no staff members on board who spoke Japanese, but the necessary announcements were made in Japanese, so it wasn't much of a problem.
The view of the streets of Hawaii from the boat was also very beautiful.
ホテルからの送迎を利用して参加しました。大きめのバスがきてとても快適でした。

親子くじらを見ることができました!
4階だての船なので一番上からみるのと下からみるのとで鯨の見え方が違うので面白かったです。
一番上は結構揺れるので酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必要かと思います。
船内のスタッフさんは日本語を話せる人はいませんでしたが、必要な船内放送は日本語で流れるのでそこまで問題はありません。

A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essential because the sunlight is strong. When going out on deck, it can feel cold due to the wind, so I think it's a good idea to bring a jacket.

Thank you guys for the amazing time! Would highly recommend this trip. We did see whales, beautiful views of paradise, some crap traps, and the site for the open shark dive. We loved the crew so much, we have now signed up for the shark dive! We can’t wait! The crew were fantastic, captain and skipper both knew and shared a ton of great information about the island. They took their time and were not in a rush. The sunset was also amazing. Could not have asked for a better trip!

I boarded the cruise that departed at 10:30. About 10 minutes after setting sail, while we could still see the streets of Waikiki, there was an English announcement saying, "Look towards 3 o'clock," and we spotted a whale's spout. We changed spots here and there to see whales… whales… whales… Mostly, we caught glimpses of parts of their bodies coming out of the water, and if we were lucky, we could also see the whale's tail.
At one point, there was an announcement saying, "There are dolphins!" and we were able to see a pod of dolphins as well! For almost the entire two hours, we were able to see something, which felt like a great deal. The view of Diamond Head from the sea was also beautiful!
The boat rocked quite a bit. One adult on board got seasick, and my one-year-old daughter threw up… Even though the staff provided paper towels and water, I think it would be wise to be well-prepared for seasickness (paying attention to meals beforehand, bringing drinks, and having a change of clothes ready).
10時半に出航する回に乗り込みました。
出航して10分ほど…まだワイキキの街並みが全然見えるところでさっそく「3時の方向をよく見て」という英語アナウンスがあり、くじらの潮吹きが見られました。とこどころスポットを変えてはくじら…くじら…くじら…。主には水面に体の一部を出してくるかんじをとらえつつ、ブシューッと潮吹きの場面を観る感じですが、運が良いとあのくじらの“尾”を観ることもできました。
またある地点では「いるかがいるよ!」というアナウンスがあり、イルカの群も見られました!
2時間のほとんどで何かしらを観ることができて、とってもお得でした。海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めもまたいいです!
船はかなり揺れました。
同乗の大人1名が途中船酔いでダウンし、1歳の娘は吐きました…。吐いてもスタッフの方がペーパータオルやお水をくれたりといろいろとよくしてくださったのですが、船酔い対策はいろいろと万全に(直前の食事への留意、飲み物を持ち込む、着替え用意)されたほうがいいかと思いました。
Be fully prepared for seasickness! Having binoculars might be even better!

On my way back to the mainland U.S. via Hawaii, I had a 14-hour wait for my flight. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I heard that this winter season is perfect for whale watching, so I joined a sunset tour. I participated alone, but I had a great time. The guide was entertaining (laughs).
It would have been even better if we could have gotten closer to the whales, but perhaps because the boat was larger than the smaller ones, we observed from a bit further away. However, I was very satisfied to see the whales' tails. Unexpectedly, I also saw two dolphins. The sunset was beautiful and soothing. I'm glad I participated!!
ハワイ経由でアメリカ本土へ帰る際、ハワイでのフライト待ち時間が14時間ありました。ハワイ自体初めてでしたが、何よりもこの冬の時期、クジラウォッチングに最適との事で、サンセット込みのツアーに参加しました。1人での参加でしたが、存分に楽しめました。ガイドさん、面白かったです(笑)
もっとクジラに近づければなお良かったのですが、他の小型船より大型だったためか少し遠目からの見学でしたが、クジラのテイルも見れて大満足です。思いがけず、イルカも2匹見れました。サンセットも美しくて癒されました。参加して良かったです!!
Since the wind is strong, take measures to prevent your hat from blowing away. It's also a good idea to have sunglasses.

Even though we couldn't see any whales, the view of the city from the sea was wonderful, and that alone was a great experience.

I participated in the sunset dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu for my honeymoon, marking my first cruise in 42 years (laughs). As I boarded, I reminisced about the good old days when we took photos on the deck. After listening to the whale watching explanation and enjoying some tea and cake, we headed to the deck. We first admired the stunning views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, and soon the crew spotted a whale and informed us. We could only see its back, but it was spouting water. After that, we were able to see it several more times. The crew was very friendly, the weather was great, and it turned out to be a comfortable and enjoyable cruise, creating wonderful memories of Hawaii. Next time, I hope to bring my grandchildren along as well.

This was my first time in Hawaii during this season, and I wanted to see whales at least once, so I participated in the tour. Boarding started at 8:15, and first, we took a commemorative photo by group. During the tour, the staff will ask if you'd like to purchase a photo ($26).
Before departure, we helped ourselves to pineapple banana bread and drinks (coffee, tea, water, and other beverages are available for a fee). While we were eating, the naturalist provided explanations about the whales (no explanations in Japanese).
Since it was a large boat, the rocking wasn't too bad, but if you're worried, it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. Shortly after departure, whales appeared, and there was a great cheer from everyone on board! The boat slowly approached the direction of the whales and stayed there for a while. It seems we couldn't get closer than 100 yards.
Although we couldn't see them jumping, we were able to see them spouting water and their pectoral fins and tails multiple times. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also lovely. We returned to Aloha Tower around 11:00.
The women's restroom had about 30 stalls, and there was also a wheelchair-accessible restroom. It seems there are no public restrooms at Aloha Tower, so it's better to take care of that on the boat.
I signed up without transportation and took THE BUS to the location. It took about 30 minutes on bus number 2 from Kuhio Avenue to downtown, and then about a 15-minute walk to Aloha Tower. On the way back, the bus to Ala Moana Center passes by Aloha Tower, so I enjoyed shopping and lunch right after the tour.
この時期のハワイは初めてで、行くなら一度は鯨を見てみたいと思い、参加しました。
8:15に乗船開始し、まずは、グループ毎に記念撮影をし、ツアーの途中で、スタッフの方が購入するか否かを声かけしてくれます。($26)
軽食は、出港前にセルフ形式でパイナップルバナナブレッドと飲み物(コーヒー・紅茶・水・その他の飲み物は有料)を取りに行き、食べている最中にナチュラリストから鯨に関する説明があります。(日本語の説明はなし。)
大型船なので、揺れはそれ程でもありませんが、心配な方は、酔い止めを。
出港後、すぐに鯨が現れ、船内は大歓声!船は、ゆっくり鯨がいる方向へ近づき、しばらく留まってくれます。100ヤード以内には近づくことはできないようです。
ジャンプする姿を見ることはできませんでしたが、潮を吹いたり、胸びれや尾ひれは何度も見ることができました。
海から眺めるワイキキの町並みとダイヤモンドヘッドも良かったです。
11時位にアロハタワーに帰港しました。
トイレは、女性用は、個室が約30弱程あり、車椅子対応のトイレもありました。
アロハタワーには、公衆トイレは無いようなので、船で済ませた方が良いと思います。
今回、送迎なしで申込み、現地まではTHE BUSで行きました。クヒオ通りから2番のバスでダウンタウンまで約30分、そこからアロハタワーまで徒歩で約15分程です。
帰りは、アラモアナセンター行きのバスがアロハタワーを通るため、ツアー参加後にそのままショッピングとランチも楽しみました。
Whales appear suddenly, so be sure to keep your eyes on the sea until you return to port. Even in winter in Hawaii, the sun is strong, so I think it's a good idea to apply sunscreen.
鯨は、突然現れるので、帰港するまで海から目をそらさないようにしましょう。
冬のハワイでも陽射しは強いので、日焼け止めは塗っておいた方が良いと思います。

This is a plan that includes a large ship, light snacks (pineapple banana cake and coffee or tea), and a re-boarding guarantee in case you miss the experience.
Since it’s a large ship, the restrooms and space are excellent, and you can travel to the ship on a large bus equipped with restrooms, which made me feel secure even though I tend to have a sensitive stomach.
In mid-January, during the off-season and the whale watching season, we were able to encounter the whales in a relatively empty setting on our first trip! We chased a group of three whales and captured footage of a baby whale breaching.
We were able to see them up close. If I had to mention something, it would be that the area behind the Hyatt Regency had many tour buses, making it hard to identify which one was ours. Additionally, juices for kids are available for a fee, and there is no dedicated photographer, so you need to take pictures of the whales yourself. Overall, I was very satisfied!
大型船でいく、軽食(パイナップルバナナケーキとコーヒー紅茶)・見れなかった場合の再乗船保証付きのプランです。
大型船のためトイレもスペースもバッチリ、船までもトイレ付き大型バスで移動でき、お腹を壊しがちな自分でも安心でした。
シーズンオフの1月中旬、ホエールウォッチングのシーズンということで空いた状態で初回に遭遇できました!
3頭組を併走で追いかけ子クジラのブリーチングを撮影。
間近でしっかり見れました。
強いて挙げれば、ハイアットリージェンシー裏はツアーのバスが多くどれが自分のバスかわかりづらく、子供向けのジュースなどは有料、専属カメラマンなどはおらずクジラは自分で撮影する必要がありますが、全体的に満足できました!

I had always wanted to go whale watching, so when I finally came to Hawaii after five years, I quickly signed up for a tour. Since it’s a natural experience, I thought it would be lucky if I got to see a whale, but I also had the desire to actually encounter one. I spent two hours on deck searching for whales, but the result was just a brief glimpse of a back and a fluke... it was disappointing.
However, right after boarding, I was able to see a huge rainbow over the ocean, and I also got to see the view of Diamond Head that can only be seen from the sea, which was amazing. The banana bread was moist and delicious as well.
If I have the chance again, I would love to participate and hopefully see a whale breach next time.
一度はホエールウォッチングに行ってみたいと思っていたので、5年ぶりにハワイに来ることになり早速申し込みをしました。自然との闘いなのでクジラに出会えればラッキーと思いつつ、でもせっかくなら出会いたいという欲望もあって2時間は甲板でクジラを探しましたが、結果はほんの一瞬だけ背中と腹びれが見えただけ・・・残念でした。
でも乗船してすぐに海にかかる大きな虹を見ることが出来たり、海からしか見られないダイヤモンドヘッドの姿も見ることが出来て最高でした。

I had always wanted to see whales at least once in my life! I imagined witnessing their majestic leaps from the ocean and their tail fins sinking like ginkgo leaves. When I had the chance to go to Hawaii in January, I thought this was my opportunity and signed up. I waited on the deck for two hours, filled with excitement and anticipation, but unfortunately, they never appeared. I understand that encounters with nature depend on luck, but it was disappointing. Still, I believe I will see them someday, and I would like to sign up again. The tour was easy to understand and friendly, and the boat was large, which gave me a sense of security.
一生に一度は見たいと思っていたクジラ!海から躍り出る雄姿や、海に沈んでいくイチョウのような尾ビレが見られたらと思っていました。今回Hawaiiに1月に行くことで、これはチャンスと思い申し込みました。ワクワクドキドキしながら、甲板で2時間待ちましたが、とうとう現れてくれませんでした。自然界との遭遇は運もあるとは思っていましたが、残念でした。でも、いつかは見られると信じて、また申し込みをしたいと思います。ツアーは分かりやすく親切で、船も大きくて安心感がありました。
I think whale watching does depend on luck, but it might be better to aim for a time when you're almost guaranteed to see them. Since it's a large boat, I thought there would be less rocking, but for

I got lost and couldn't make it to the meeting point on time, but I received a kind phone call that helped me find my way. The phone line that mentioned Japanese support had announcements in English, which was a bit confusing.
The cruise itself became a wonderful memory. I felt lucky to see whales, but even if I didn't, I was glad to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Since I couldn't see any whales, the night view of the city from the sea was also very nice. There were only a few passengers on the boat, and the tour guides were charming and created a pleasant atmosphere. There were also drinks and snacks provided, making it a very comfortable experience.
I definitely want to participate again if I have the chance! ^ ^
集合場所が分からなくて迷子になってしまい、集合時間に間に合わなかったのですが、電話がかかってきて親切に教えて下さいました。日本語対応と書かれた電話は英語のアナウンスで少し困った点でした。
クルーズ自体はとても最高な思い出になりました。時期的にもクジラはみれたらラッキーかなという気持ちだったので、クジラを見れなくてもきれいなサンセットを見れてよかったです。クジラを見れなかったサービスも兼ねてということで、海から見る街の夜景もとてもよかったです。船に一緒に乗るお客さんは少人数で、添乗員さんは雰囲気の良い美男美女さんで、飲み物やお菓子のサービスもあり、とても過ごしやすかったです。
ぜひまた機会があれば参加したいと思います^ ^
Aloha! Poyo. Thank you for joining the Waikiki Sunset Cruise & Whale Watching tour. I apologize for any confusion regarding the meeting location and phone announcements. It was unfortunate that you couldn't see any whales, even though everything was in the wild and natural setting. Thank you for the five stars despite that. Your positive comments are encouraging for the crew. The sunset views from the boat and the scenery of Waikiki are truly amazing! Thank you for sharing such wonderful photos. When you come back to Hawaii next time, please take advantage of the repeat visitor discount and join us again! We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

Before boarding, it was unfortunately raining, but once we got on the boat, the rain stopped and we had clear skies. After enjoying stories from the captain and crew that heightened our excitement about possibly seeing whales, we headed to the deck. While we strained our eyes looking out to sea, we sadly didn’t spot any whales, perhaps they were on their New Year’s break. However, we were able to leisurely enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, making for a refreshing cruise. Due to scheduling conflicts, I didn’t receive the next free boarding voucher, but many others did. If the opportunity arises again, I would love to participate.
乗船前にはあいにくの雨が降っていましたが、乗船すると雨があがり晴天に。
鯨に会えるかもしれないドキドキ感をさらに高揚させてくれる船長やクルーのお話しを楽しんだ後、いざデッキへ。
目を凝らしながら沖を眺めるもクジラも正月休みだったのか、残念ながら会えずに帰港となりましたが、沖からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドをゆっくり眺めることができ、爽やかなクルーズを楽しみました。
日程の都合で次回の無料乗船バウチャーはもらいませんでしたが、多くの方が発行してもらっていました。
また機会があれば、参加したいなと思います。
Before boarding, participants receive a sticker to place in a visible spot, but many people had theirs blown away by the strong wind and ended up flying into the sea.
乗船前に参加者シールをもらって見えるところに貼りつけるのですが、風が強くて船上を飛び交い、海へ飛ばしてしまう人がたくさんいました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that the weather was not very good and that you did not see any whales, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views from the ship. We hope you will come back again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。お天気があまり良くなかったのとクジラに会えなかった事が残念ですが、船上からの眺めをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

The crew takes outstanding care to ensure a great experience. We were so lucky to have no wind and calm waters and see a mama, a baby, and an escort whale, plus one other solo whale. A great day!

I’ve done this trip several times over the years and it never disappoints. The crew is outstanding, fun, professional, attentive, and really makes sure everyone has a great time and does everything possible for an excellent whale watching experience.

This was a great tour. I’m a little scared of the water. I don’t swim particularly well and I hate putting my head underwater. I wore a life jacket. The hardest part for me was just getting from the steps of the boat under the water and putting my head into the scuba submersible head part of the scooter. Also getting back out. There were people assisting us with everything. What a great experience.! Highly recommended!
It would help if people could grab onto the stairs as they try to get out from underwater-less panic

The crew of the Moana were fabulous! They were welcoming and were genuinely just as excited as we were to see all the beautiful whales! Being on the catamaran was an intimate experience for our family and we had such a wonderful time together. If our itinerary allowed for it, we would have booked a sunset cruise in addition to our whale watching cruise!
Get to the harbor early for parking!

It was easy to get around since the boat departs from Waikiki. At the snorkeling point, there were turtles that we could see up close. The water off Waikiki was also very clear and beautiful.
Additionally, after snorkeling, we cruised around to the back of Diamond Head, which made it feel like more than just a snorkeling trip. The staff only spoke English, but they provided explanations in Japanese, so even those who are not good at English will be fine!
ワイキキから船が出るので、移動が楽でした。シュノーケルポイントもカメが居て間近で見れました。ワイキキ沖でも水が澄んでいて凄く綺麗でした。
また、シュノーケルの後、ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏位までクルージングしてくれて、ただシュノーケルやってお終いって感じじゃなかったのが良かったです。スタッフは英語だけですが、日本語の説明書きを見せてくれるので、英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫です!
If you're looking to do some quick snorkeling nearby, I recommend this!
近場でサクっとシュノーケルするならおすすめです!
