From March 24, 2014, for one week, my family took our first trip to Hawaii (Maui). Since we weren't interested in package tours, I researched and chose one of the option tours myself. I was skeptical about whether we could really see whales so close to the port, but... it seemed like three whales were swimming together, possibly a mother and her calf? To my great fortune, one of the whales jumped out of the water! I couldn't help but let out a joyful shout. The boat searched around for spots where the whales might surface. Nearby, small boats seemed to gather, perhaps aware of the sonar capabilities of the Star of Honolulu. At the end of the enjoyable cruise, we were also able to see a pod of about ten dolphins, making it a truly satisfying whale watching experience.
2014年3月24日から1週間、家族で初めてのハワイ(マウイ島)旅行でした。パッケージツアーに興味がないので、自分であれこれ調べてオプションツアーの一つとしてチョイスしました。港からそんなに遠くない範囲で本当にクジラを見ることができるのか半信半疑だったのですが・・・3頭が一緒に回遊していたようですが、親子でしょうか?なんと幸運にもそのうちの1頭のクジラが海中からジャンプしたのです。歓喜の叫び声が思わず漏れてしまいました。船はクジラ達が海面に出てきそうな場所を探して探し回ります。近くにはスターオブホノルル号のおそらくソナーの性能を知ってか小さなボートも群がってきますね。楽しいクルーズの最後には10数頭の群れをなすイルカも見ることができて本当に満足のいくホエールウォッチングになりました。

I wanted to show my 5-year-old child a whale, but they got bored staring at the ocean for too long and were in a bit of a mood. However, they seemed to enjoy the buffet and ate a lot. We also had a great time making leis after the meal!
5歳の子供にクジラを見せてあげたかったのですが、ずっと海を眺めているのに退屈してしまい、ご機嫌ナナメ。でも、ビュッフェは楽しかったようで、モリモリ食べてくれました。また、食後のレイ作りも楽しかったです!
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. We're sorry you didn't see any whales, but we're glad to hear you enjoyed the meal and activities. We look forward to your next visit.

I participated because I wanted to see whales that are unique to this season. I didn't have high expectations since I heard mixed reviews about whether people saw them or not, but luckily, the weather was clear and hot that day, and I was able to see 5 to 6 breaches! I think I was very lucky. Since photos capture moments, it might be better to use video instead. Also, I opted for the breakfast option, but if you take your time eating, you might miss the moments, so it might not have been necessary. Sorry to the tour staff.
この時期ならではのホエールを見たくて参加。クチコミはあまり見れなかったとか見れたとか色々で運不運もあるかと期待しなかったのですが、この日は晴天で暑かったことも幸いしてか、5~6回の背うちが見れました!とてもラッキーだったと思います。写真は瞬間なので難しいのでムービーかビデオがいいかもしれません。それと朝食付きにしたのですが、ゆっくり食べていると瞬間見逃す場合もあるので無くてもよかったかもしれません。ツアーの方すみません。

I had such a wonderful time on the Star of Honolulu Independence Day Fireworks Cruise on the 4th. Everyone on the ship was very professional, nice, friendly and did everything to make sure your night and experience was a good one! The food was very good also, you never know until you try it, but it was great. The entertainment was great and I was on the first floor and staff entertained us very well with good food. The fireworks was the highlight of the evening and the 15 minutes of fireworks was sooooo nice and great to see with other ship mates. I definitely recommend the Star of Honolulu for any night or occasion while visiting the city. Lots of good memories from my last night in town while on the Star of Honolulu!

I signed up because I wanted to take pictures of whales. Since it was the end of the season on April 13, and someone who went in January said they "didn't see any," I participated without much expectation... But, wonderfully, the whales showed up! In fact, they appeared 4 to 5 times (their heads?). I couldn't hear the captain's (or guide's?) announcements about whale sightings well in English, but I followed the dash of the foreign children, and somehow managed to take some pictures. It would have been perfect if I could have taken photos a bit closer, but seeing this much is enough, right!? I signed up without lunch this time, and it was the right choice because if I wanted to keep taking pictures, there wouldn't have been time to eat.
クジラの写真を撮りたくて申し込みました。
4/13ということでシーズン終わりで、1月に行った人が「見れなかった」と言っていたので、期待せず参加しましたが・・・。
見事、クジラさん出てくれました!それも4~5回(頭?)も!
船長(?)によるクジラ発見案内は英語でよく聞き取れなかったのですが、外国の子供たちの歓声とともにダッシュする後をついて行って、写真を何とか撮ることが出来ました。
もう少し近くで撮影することができれば最高ですが、これだけ見れれば十分でしょう!?
今回ランチなしで申し込みましたが、常に写真を撮りたかったら食事している暇はなかったので正解でした。
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. I'm glad you were able to see whales, even though the season is coming to an end! We look forward to your next visit to take more wonderful photos.

I had a wonderful experience.
The chief host was truly entertaining, and I was laughing from start to finish. I laughed so much that my stomach hurt. I even forgot to eat at the buffet and could only manage one plate.
I enjoyed the Polynesian dance and music, but I think the highlight of the show was the chief's comedic talk. It was filled with warm and witty comments, fun jokes, and stories that resonated with the heart amidst all the laughter.
However, most of the chief's jokes are geared towards adults. There were many small children present, and there were moments when they could participate in the show, but overall, I believe it is primarily an adult-oriented show.
I went with my daughter, but I highly recommend it for couples celebrating anniversaries. The chief will celebrate with you.
When I go to Hawaii again, I would love to attend this show once more.
素晴らしい思い出ができました。
司会のチーフの方が、本当におもしろくて最初から最後まで笑いっぱなしでした。
笑いすぎてお腹が痛くなりました。ビュッフェなのに食べるのを忘れて一皿しか食べられないほどでした。
ポリネシアンダンスや音楽も楽しめましたが、このショーの一番の売りはコメディアンでもあるチーフのトークだと思います。暖かく機転のきいたコメント、楽しい冗談、笑いの中にも心に響くお話と盛りだくさんでした。
ただ、チーフのジョークの内容はほとんどが大人向きです。小さいお子様たちも多くいらしていて、ショーに参加できる場面もありましたが、基本は大人のためのショーだと思います。
私は娘と行きましたが、カップルで記念日の参加はおすすめです。チーフにお祝いしてもらえます。
ハワイに行った時は、また行きたいと思います。

I had heard that it was the season to see a lot of whales, so I was a bit anxious about whether we would see any... but I was very satisfied because we saw plenty. The boat was also large, so I was glad I didn't get seasick. It was great that it was a morning tour, allowing us to return to the hotel around noon, so we could enjoy plenty of activities in the afternoon.

I'm glad I got to see wild whales for the first time, but they didn't jump or anything, so I didn't feel much excitement. But I guess that's just how whales are (laughs). They seemed to swim alongside us for a long time, occasionally blowing air and showing their backs. The staff were all very nice, and you could tell they wanted to make it enjoyable for everyone. It's a big boat, so it's less likely to make you seasick, but it's still a good idea to take some motion sickness medication just in case.
野生のクジラを初めて見れてよかったですが、ジャンプなどしてくれるわけでなかったので迫力は感じられませんでした。でもこれはクジラの気分なのでしょうがないです(笑)
ずっと横には泳いでいたようなのですが、時々潮を吹いて背中が見えるくらい。
スタッフはみなさん感じがよく、楽しませようという感じが伝わってきました。
大きい船なので酔いにくいですが、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいた方が安心です。

We had a great time! The food was good and we loved the view of the ocean. When we first arrived they took a family picture of us. It was nice to have a group picture. :) Even though it was windy that day we still saw some whales. It was amazing to see whales!!! It was too bad that it didn't jump high, but it was still exciting to see their backs and tails. The leis and ukulele class were on at the same time. It did go by fast so we didn't get to join both classes. However, we loved making leis with real flowers!! We had a wonderful experience.

My friend was visiting Oahu for the first time, so I chose this experience thinking we could enjoy various aspects of Hawaiian culture on board. We made leis, danced hula, and played the ukulele. Since it was a weekday, there were no group tours, so we didn't have to wait in long lines for the buffet. Depending on where you sit, it seems you could also see dolphins and whales. It might be worth a visit.
お友達が、オアフ島への訪問が初めてだったので・・船内でハワイの文化を色々体験できると思い選びました。レイを作ったり、フラダンスを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いたり、平日だった為か団体ツアーが入っておらずバイキングでも長蛇の列を並ぶ必要はありませんでした。座る場所次第でイルカやクジラも見えた様です。行ってみても良いかも。

We had a great time on the Star of Honolulu. The ship was comfortable and clean. The rails offered a great platform for picture taking and whale watching. Only minutes out of Honolulu harbor the first whales were sighted. We followed along with them for about 1/2 hour. They would surface every 5 minutes or so. On the way back up to Diamondhead we encountered another pod. After watching them for awhile, it was time for the morning trip to end. All in all... this was one of many highlights for our visit to Oahu.

The price for breakfast included for a family of four is cheap, and all the crew members were kind and friendly, which made the children happy. It was a bit disappointing that we were able to see whales a few times and were satisfied, but I think it would have been even better if we could have seen them up close.
家族4人で朝食付きでこの値段は安い、クルーのみんなも優しく親切で子供たちも喜んでいました。ちょっと残念だったのは、クジラは何度か見ることができて満足できたのですが、もっと間近で見れれば最高だと思います。ぬ
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
Due to Hawaiian law, we cannot bring the boat very close to the whales, but on some days, the whales may approach the boat, allowing you to see them up close. We encourage you to try again.

I participated with half expectations, considering it was nature. Although I didn't get to see the jumping whales, I was able to see the magnificent spouts and tails up close, right in front of the deck where I was standing. I was so mesmerized that I forgot to take pictures.
The breakfast was delicious too.
With the blue sky and blue sea, and the Hawaiian music flowing gently inside the boat, I think that alone makes it worth the experience.
自然相手ということもあり、期待半分で参加しました。さすがにジャンプするクジラの姿は見れなかったものの、ちょうど立っていたデッキの真ん前+結構近い距離で、豪快な潮吹きと尾びれを見ることができました。あまりの事に見とれてしまい、写真撮るのを忘れました。w
朝食も美味しかったです。
青い空と青い海。ゆったり船内に流れるハワイアンミュージック。もうそれだけで体験する価値はあるかな、と思います。

Basically, everything is in English. Honestly, we couldn't enjoy it much since we don't understand English. The show is very interactive, with a strong tendency to bring audience members on stage for fun conversations, which might not be suitable for those who want to see Polynesian dance. I think it would be very enjoyable for those who are fluent in English, have a good sense of humor, and are comfortable dancing in front of others. The staff was kind. There were several changes to the pickup location and time since the reservation, but they accommodated us when we informed them that there was a person in a wheelchair.
基本、すべて英語です。英語がわからない我々は正直あまり楽しめませんでした。
ショーも参加型のショーで観客を舞台に上げて楽しく会話をするといった傾向が強く、ポリネシアンダンスを見たいという方には不向きかもしれません。
英語が堪能でノリがよく人前で踊るのも平気という方にはとても楽しいと思います。

クジラ、本当に見ることが出来るのか、半信半疑でしたが、バッチリ親子クジラを見れました!そして、船は大きくて酔うこともなく、スタッフの方々は明るくて気さくに話しかけてきてくれて、とても親切でした。最後に行きのバスに主人がカメラのレンズを忘れてきてしまったのを伝えると親身に対応してくださり、ちゃんと手配して探してくださいました。このツアーを利用してよかったです。夏にお友達がハワイに旅行に行くのですが、ここのツアーは安心出来るとお勧めするつもりです。本当にありがとうございました。

There was supposed to be an explanation in Japanese, but it was only in English. The meal had seasonal fruits, but there was no tea. Overall, it was not good. I recommend the course without meals.
日本語の説明有りとあったが、英語のみだった。
食事は季節のフルーツ、紅茶もなかった。とりあえず、不味い。
食事なしコースがオススメ。
