Great things were the weather, water and warmth of the staff. Whale sightings were unfortunately few and at a great distance such that mostly splashes and puffs of water were seen only. Boat was nice, top deck offers the best views. Kids had fun.

The price is a bit high, but I was very satisfied with the breakfast and whale watching. It was a bit cold in January, so I think it's a good idea to bring a hoodie or something similar.

I was very excited to see a real whale right in front of my eyes for the first time. Since the tour was in English, there were many things I didn't understand, but overall, I was satisfied with the tour.
初めて自分の目で本物の鯨を目の前で見れて、とても興奮しました。
英語案内だったので、わからないことも多々ありましたが、
ツアー自体は問題なく満足できました。

I had a tour scheduled to arrive at Honolulu Airport on February 7th at 7:30. Since I couldn't check into the hotel until after 1 PM, I was wondering what to do because of jet lag, when I found this tour departing at 12:00. I was picked up from the airport around 9:00 and took the Red Line to Aloha Tower, where I boarded the ship without any issues. I'm glad I was able to make good use of my time.
二月7日、7:30にホノルル空港に到着予定のツアーでした。ホテルには午後1時過ぎでないと入れないとの事でしたので、時差ぼけだし、どうしようかと思っていたところ、12:00発のこのツアーを見つけました。空港からホテルに送ってもらったのが、9:00頃で、レッドラインで、アロハタワーに行き無事乗船しました。有効な時間の使い方が出来て良かったです。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

I participated with a friend.
We didn't see any whales.
Therefore, they were distributing re-boarding tickets towards the end of the cruise (it's a system where you have to go get it yourself, so be careful not to forget!).
Although we didn't see any whales, I had fun just being on the boat!!
However, since it was just simple scenery unless any creatures appeared, I noticed a few children looking bored.
It might be a bit tricky for those with small children...
After disembarking, there was someone who seemed to be the captain, and I was able to take a photo with him (^V^).
I was grateful that he was friendly and posed for the picture.
友人と参加しました。
クジラは見られませんでした。
そのため、クルーズの終わりごろに再乗車券を配布していました(自分でもらいに行くシステムなので忘れないように注意!)。
クジラは見られませんでしたが、私は船に乗るだけで楽しかったです!!
しかし、生き物が出ない限り単純な風景が続くだけなので、退屈そうにしているお子さんがチラホラいました。
小さいお子さんがいらっしゃる方は微妙かもしれません…
下船後、船長さんらしき方がいらっしゃったので一緒に写真を撮っていただきました(^V^)
気さくに写ってくださってありがたかったです。

This tour was very enjoyable. Even though we didn't get to see but one whale. The captain and crew made every effort to locate them. And we did encounter a whale but the whale didn't want to entertain us which is no fault of the crew. The boat ride itself was nice and relaxing. I would definitely do it again.

I was so excited to see whales and I wasn't disappointed! Guaranteed indeed.
We saw a few pod of whales and it was always entertaining to watch them swim by and see their blows. I actually saw one that threw its tail out of the water up close when I was heading to the restroom, but very quickly that no one noticed it I think. I just got lucky, haha!
It was a nice cruise, great customer service from the crew, delicious food, and gorgeous views of the Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head! There were fun activities on board too like lei making, ukulele lessons, and hula lessons. I really enjoyed the trip! I was with a group of friends but as a mom, I would definitely recommend this for families with young children as well, it's a great activity for all ages so anyone are welcome!

I booked a plan without pick-up. The check-in location listed on the voucher is the Paradise cruise office, but in reality, there is no such office, so you need to check in at the Stat of Honolulu reservation office.
The breakfast isn't particularly delicious, but I was able to enjoy warm dishes and coffee.
About two hours after departure, we spotted a whale just 20 meters from the boat! We were lucky to see it.
Since the boat is quite large, positioning is also important.
送迎無しのプランを予約。バウチャー記載のチェックイン場所はParadise cruise officeとありますが、実際にはそんなオフィスは無く、Stat of Honolulu reservation office にてチェックインを行うので注意が必要です。
朝食は大して美味しくありませんが、暖かい料理とコーヒーを楽しめました。
出発から2時間ほどすると、船から20メートル先にクジラが!!運良く見ることができました。
船はかなり大きい為、ポジショニングも大事になると思います。

We had a blast on this tour. Zoom was our driver and he was fantastic. I loved the Ipad on the dashboard to show us the location of many scenes from the show. We stopped at many locations. He even stopped to get us breakfast due to the heavy traffic getting to the pickup location.It was fun to see all of the star's houses on the island and especially to go to Steve's house and sit in the chairs facing the ocean and going inside to meet the actual owners of the house. Thanks to Zoom and Amy to give such a wonderful tour. The smaller vans gave us such a personal touch.

This was the first tour we took on our first trip to Hawaii in April of 2016. It was absolutely amazing. We had a good time on the Star of Honolulu except it was rather windy that day. Had a blast, regardless! There were several whale sightings but, not close enough to see them which was disappointing. The breakfast was fantastic. We spent time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos. We would definitely book another cruise when we return again.

The overall cruise was extremely disappointing because throughout the entire cruise we saw a single whale spout either 4 or 5 times as it exhaled and a brief cloud of mist was observable for about 2 seconds. Because the spouts were so brief, I only actually saw 2 of them. However, technically, we did see a whale and were not eligible for a free re-booking.
I don't blame Star of Honolulu for the lack of whales - they are wild animals! But, I did expect more from them and am disappointed that seeing mist from a whale for a total of less than 20 seconds in a multi-hour cruise at least 100 yards away is considered a whale sighting.
Other than the lack of seeing whales - which was the entire point of going on the cruise! - the cruise itself is actually pretty good. The employees were very friendly, the food was better than expected (bring your own coffee though), and the views of Oahu from the ocean are gorgeous.
The ship is a bit dated and worn around the edges, but it was clean and offered a lot of indoor and outdoor viewing options. Because there are 4 decks, I never felt like it was crowded even though there were a lot of people on board.

I participated with my friend's family, and as we got closer to the area, we were able to see the spouts several times. However, since we were only able to see the spouts from quite a distance, the kids started saying it was "boring."
Just when I thought we probably wouldn't see any jumps like those in the photos, the whales put on a fantastic show.
We were able to see all the whale behaviors listed on the ship, and we were very satisfied. Both the kids and the parents were thrilled to finish the tour. I know that since they are living creatures, it might not be like this every time.
友人家族と参加しましたが、ポイント付近に近づくとすぐに潮吹きが何度もみれました。
しかし、かなり離れたところからたまに上がる潮吹きを見ていただけなので、子供たちが「つまらない」と言い始めてしまいました。
あぁ、写真で見られるようなジャンプとかはなかなか見られないんだなと思っていたら、クジラの大サービスが始まりました。
船内に書いてあるクジラの行動パターンはすべてみられる事が出来て大満足です。
子供たちも親も大興奮でツアーを終えることが出来ました。
