I was able to see a whale right in front of me! クジラが、目の前で見れました！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

For those who participated in the morning cruise, it was reported that they only saw a baby whale briefly, and it seemed that the participants from another tour yesterday had a similar experience, so I honestly didn't have high expectations.

However, during the afternoon cruise, we were able to see adult whales and baby whales up close, as well as whales jumping in the distance. Although we chose a course that included a meal, my son was so excited about the whale sightings that he neglected his food to go watch the whales, and he was thrilled to have seen them a total of 21 times. I regret thinking that if we had chosen the course without lunch from the beginning, we could have focused more on the whales.

I definitely recommend the no-lunch option for those who really want to see whales.

朝のクルーズに参加の方は、子供のクジラがちょっと見えただけとのことで、昨日の別のツアーの方も同じような状況だったので、正直、あまり期待していませんでした。
ところが、お昼のクルーズでは、大人のクジラや子供のクジラが近くで見ることが出来たり、遠くでジャンプするクジラも見ることが出来ました。
折角、食事つきのコースにしたのですが息子はクジラ情報がでると食事そっちのけでクジラを見に行ってましたが、合計21回見れたと大変喜んでいました。はじめっから、ランチなしのコースにしておけば、私たちもクジラに集中できたのでは？と反省しています。
是非、クジラを観たいという方は、ランチなしがお勧めです。

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise スターオブホノルル号☆ディナークルーズ

Reviewed by: miyu!

I made a reservation on the night of my arrival in Hawaii!

The dinner cruise's food and performance were very satisfying!

The vow renewal ceremony also became a wonderful memory, but I couldn't catch everything that was said in English during the proceedings (^_^;)

Also, since it was the night of my arrival in Hawaii, I was feeling a bit dazed from jet lag, and towards the end of the dinner cruise, I was battling sleepiness (^_^;)

If you're not confident about dealing with jet lag, I wouldn't recommend the dinner cruise on your first night in Hawaii (>_<)

If it weren't for the sleepiness, I might have enjoyed it a bit more (>_<)

ハワイ到着日の夜に申し込みました！

ディナークルーズのお食事＆パフォーマンスは大満足でした！

バウリニューアルのセレモニーも素敵な思い出になりましたが、

ただ、進行する時の言葉が全て英語であまり聞き取れなかったです(^_^;)

それから、ハワイ到着日の夜と言う事もあり、時差ボケで頭が朦朧としてきて

ディナークルーズの終盤は睡魔との闘いでした(^_^;)

It was a whale watching experience blessed by good weather, but I only saw a baby whale spouting in the distance at first, and after that, I couldn't see anything else. Well, it's a living creature, so there's nothing we can do about it.

However, the staff with the Japanese guide were wonderful, and it’s not often you get to enjoy the view of the horizon from the boat, as well as Waikiki and Diamond Head, so I had a great time!

Since it's a trip abroad, it might also be nice to hear local recommendations from the Japanese guide.

天候にも恵まれたホエールウォッチングでしたが、
最初に子どもクジラの潮吹きが遠くに見えたっきり、それ以降は見る事ができませんでした。まぁ、生き物なので仕方ないですね。

しかしながら、日本語ガイドのスタッフの対応も素晴らしく、また船上から水平線を眺めたり、ワイキキ＆ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺める事が出来る機械はなかなかないので、十分楽しめました！

せっかくの海外ですので、日本語ガイドから現地のおすすめ情報を聞いたりするのも良いかもしれませんよ。

I participated in the morning tour on January 3rd. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales at all. The breakfast included eggs, sausages, and bread, and it was quite substantial for the price.

During the New Year period, the weather in Honolulu was consistently bad with rain coming and going, but thanks to that, I was able to see a big rainbow from the boat.

I have been on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise several times, and during those times, it makes a U-turn just before Diamond Head. However, this tour goes even further. It was interesting to view Oahu from the sea, as well as the backside of Diamond Head.

But I really wanted to see whales...

1/3の午前中のツアーに参加しました。
残念ながらクジラは全く見ることが出来ませんでした。
朝食は卵やソーセージ、パンなどがあり、お値段の割にはしっかりと取れました。

お正月の期間ホノルルはずっと天候が悪く雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、お蔭で船から大きな虹を見ることが出来ました。

Whales appeared on the surface multiple times, and each time we were in a flurry of excitement.

I have visited Hawaii many times, but this was my first whale watching experience. I wasn't very interested at first, but it turned out to be much better than I expected.

I was moved to see a whale. クジラを観れて感動

Reviewed by: toshi

On January 8, my spouse and I participated. We go to Oahu every year, but we rarely visit during this time, so we joined a whale watching tour for the first time, which can only be seen during this season.

After boarding, the captain provided explanations about the direction of the whales in English, but there was immediately a Japanese interpreter, so it wasn't a problem if you didn't understand English.

The meal was served buffet-style with a wide variety of drinks (alcoholic beverages were cash only) and desserts. When a whale appeared, the captain announced it, and the whale would show up in that direction, but it was a fleeting moment, making it challenging to capture. However, we were lucky to see the whale raise its tail about three times up close.

I had used the Star of Honolulu for dinner cruises a couple of times, and it was enjoyable to experience a different view of Waikiki at night. We participated in a course without transportation, but after disembarking, many shops inside Aloha Tower were closed and it was quite deserted. We took a 10-minute walk to explore downtown and Chinatown.

１月８日に夫婦で参加。
オワフには毎年行っているが、この時期は行くことが少ないので、この時期にしか観られないホエールウオッチングに初めて参加した。
乗船後、船長からクジラが出たときの方角等の説明が当然英語であるが、すぐに日本語通訳の説明があるので英語が分からなくても問題ない。
食事は、ブッフェ形式で飲み物（アルコール類はキャッシュ）、デザート等種類も豊富であった。
クジラが現れると船長のアナウンスがあり、その方向にクジラが出現するが、一瞬なのでタイミングが難しいが、近くで尾を上げる姿等３回ほど観られたのでラッキーであった。
スター・オブ・ホノルル号には夜のディナークルーズに２回ほど利用したが、ワイキキ等夜とは違った景観を楽しむことが出来た。
送迎なしのコースに参加したが、下船後はアロハタワー内の商店は店を閉めているところが多く閑散としているが、１０分ほど歩いてダウンタウン、チャイナタウンを散策した。

On our honeymoon. 新婚旅行にて

Reviewed by: sana

I used this service during my honeymoon trip to Hawaii in January 2013. I was able to encounter whales several times. When the whales were visible, the staff would announce it and let us know. Until then, we could enjoy lunch and relax comfortably on the boat.

However, there are a few tips to keep in mind for whale watching:
- Whales tend to surface for only a few seconds to a few tens of seconds before returning to the water.
- Even if the staff informs you and you look in that direction, the whales may already be back underwater and not visible.
- Once you've finished your meal, if you go out on deck and leisurely gaze at the sea, you might spot whales even before the staff does, which seems to be a more efficient way to see them.

The onboard announcements were also in Japanese, which made the experience very enjoyable.

2013年1月に新婚旅行ではじめてハワイに行った際に利用しました。
くじらに何度か遭遇することができました。くじらが見える位置にきた際にはスタッフがアナウンスして教えてくれます。それまでは、ランチを楽しんで船内でゆったりくつろぐことができます。

ただし、くじらを見るためのこつとしては、次のポイントは押させていた方がいいかもしれません。
？くじらは、浮かんできても数秒～数十秒くらいでまた海の中に戻ってしまいます。
？スタッフが教えてくれて、その方角を見に行ってももう海の中にいてみれないこともあります。
？ある程度食事がすんだら、自らデッキにでてのんびり海を眺めていると、スタッフよりも早くくじらを発見できるので、こちらのほうが効率にくじらに会えるように思います。

船内では、日本語での案内もあり、とても楽しめました。

Reviewed by: まるさん

- I found it worthwhile to participate, thinking I could experience the feeling of cruising.
- We encountered two whales and were able to see them spouting for a while.
- We frequently spotted dolphins, although they weren't very close.
- The Japanese-speaking guide made frequent announcements, which were easy to understand. Even during times when there were no whales, it was enjoyable to hear explanations about the scenery visible from the boat.
- I participated while carrying a small child in a baby carrier, and it wasn't too bumpy, so there were no issues.
- The restroom was spacious and well-maintained.
- The guide mentioned, "Today the whales are close," but I was surprised, thinking, "Is this really close?!" The visibility was such that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been told it was a whale. When pointed out, I could see the spouting between the waves.
- I was interested in the shopping mall around the pier, so I intentionally chose not to have a shuttle. However, many stores were closed, making it a rather lonely mall. I regretted not taking the shuttle plan to return right away, as there was no value in spending time there after the event. Instead, I visited the palace and Chinatown. It took just over ten minutes on foot through the office district to reach the palace. I returned by bus.
- I chose the breakfast plan. The coffee was decent, but the scrambled eggs were so bad that they made me feel sick just thinking about them. Since there were no whales, I went for a refill, but there was hardly anything left. If you want to eat a lot, be sure to take plenty during the initial serving, as there are very few options, so it's best not to have high expectations.

・クルージング気分を味わえると思えば参加する価値がありました。
・鯨は２頭遭遇でき、潮吹きがしばらく見れました。
・いるかはたびたび見かけました。いるかまでの距離はそれほど近くないです。
・日本語担当のガイドさんが、頻繁にアナウンスしてくれて分かりやすかったです。鯨がいない時間帯も、船から見える景色を説明してくれて楽しかったです。
・小さい子供をおんぶ紐で縛って参加しましたが、それほど揺れないし、問題ありませんでした。
・トイレも広くてきれいにしてありました。
・「今日は鯨が近いよ」とガイドさんが言ってましたが「この遠さで近いのか？！」と逆にびっくりしました。鯨だ！と言われなければ気が付かない程度の見え方です。言われてみれば、波の合間に潮吹きが、というレベル。
・船着き場周りのショッピングモールに興味があり、敢えて送迎なしにしました。しかしながら閉店しているお店も多く、とても淋しいモールでした。イベント後に寄る時間を用意する価値は全くなく、送迎プランですぐ帰った方が良かったと後悔しました。そこで宮殿とチャイナタウンへ寄りました。オフィス街と通って徒歩１０分強で宮殿に着きました。帰りはバスで帰りました。
・朝食プランを選択しました。コーヒーは普通においしく、スクランブルエッグが思い出しても気持ち悪くなる程、まずかったです。鯨が出ないのでヒマでおかわりに行きましたが、ほとんど残っていませんでした。沢山食べたい方は、最初の盛り付けでたくさんよそってください。種類はとても少ないので期待しない方が良いです。

This was an excellent show and we were so glad we attended. We actually chose to drive to Sea Park, however due to the distance and evening hours, we decided to contact Hawaii Activities to add the transportation 6 hours prior to departure. Hawaii Activities handled everything, and gave us simple instructions to hop aboard the tour bus which was a 1/2 block from where we stayed.

As for "Chiefs Luau", this was so much fun, the entertainment included so many from the crowd, and the "Chief" can definately entertain and bring so much laughter.

Plan on the early activities and particpate. They want to share there culture which is even more fun.

With the evening show, take a light jacket as it can get breezy once the sunsets.

Since it was a day with strong winds, we took motion sickness medication for both ourselves and the kids. The breakfast selection was limited, but the taste was quite good with sausage, rice, and oranges. For about 45 minutes after boarding, we only saw the whales spouting a couple of times, but then we got to see their tails and fins coming up and down several times, as well as some backflips, which was incredibly exciting through the binoculars from the fourth deck. My husband filmed it, so the kids could watch it later (the kids stayed with their mother on the boat). While on board, they prioritized explanations in Japanese (on the deck, they provided Japanese guidance after the English announcements, but by then the whales had already submerged), and there were several staff members who spoke Japanese, with the captain even playing with our child. I recommend staying on the fourth deck even if you don't understand English, as it's easier to see from above. We were lucky. Thank you, Joy.

風の強い日の参加だったので、子供共々酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。朝食の種類は少ないですが、味はソーセージ、ご飯、オレンジなど結構美味しかった。乗船して４５分くらいは２.３度の鯨の潮吹きだけでしたが、そのうち鯨のしっぽや横向きでヒレを何度も上げ下げしたり背面ジャンプしたりと４階から双眼鏡越しに大興奮。横の主人がビデオ撮影してくれたので後から子供もゆっくり見られました（子供は母と船内で）。船内にいる間日本語での説明を優先してくれたり（デッキにいると英語の後に日本語案内、でもその時には鯨は潜ってしまう）、日本語の話せるスタッフが何人かいらっしゃり、キャプテンはうちの子供と遊んでいてくれていました。英語が分からなくても４階デッキにいることをおすすめします、上から見るほうがわかりやすいので。ラッキーでした。ジョイありがとう。

We participated in a breakfast course with three family members. We saw the tail just once, but our child is only five years old, so we didn't have time to lift them up and see it properly. The breakfast was delicious. Since we ate in the dining room on the first floor, it didn't have the excitement of a 3-star or 5-star cruise. If a whale had appeared, it would have been more lively, but without that, we were just staring at the waves, which became boring. I think snorkeling would be better for families with children.

It felt like I could see it, but also like I couldn't. 見れたような見れなかったような

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in the morning tour. I only caught a glimpse of a whale from a very far distance just once. I was looking for spouts and saw something black come up to the surface, but honestly, I couldn't tell if it was a whale or not. After the tour, there was a recheck desk, but I didn't have time, so I got off without receiving a reboarding ticket.
How many whales can you actually see on this tour? Can you see them up close like it says on the website or in guidebooks? From the experiences I've read, it seems like about half of the people see whales and half do not, but if those who saw them only caught a distant glimpse like I did, I don't think it's worth participating. I was able to see whales from a distance later at Kamaole Beach in Maui.
However, since it's quite a nice boat, if you think of it as a cruise, you won't feel too disappointed.

午前中のツアーに参加しました。一度だけすごく遠くから鯨がチラッと見れただけです。水吹きを探して、何か黒いものが水面に上がったのを見ましたが、正直鯨かどうかもわかりませんでした。ツアー終了後Recheckの受付はありましたが、時間がないので、再乗船券をもらわずに降りました。
そもそもこのツアーはどのぐらい鯨が見られるんでしょうか？ホームページやガイドブックに載っているような、すごい近くで見ることができるんでしょうか？体験談を見ると、見れない人と「見た」人半々ぐらいですが、もし「見た」人も私のように遠くから見ただけなら、あまり参加しなくてもいいと思います。その後マウイのカマオレビーチで普通に遠くから鯨が見れましたから。
ただし、結構立派な船なので、クルーズだと思ってしまえば、そんなに損した気分にはならないです。

Initially, I imagined that there would be some not-so-great food served, and we would just wait for the fireworks while drinking. However, the food was not only plentiful but also quite tasty, and there was a show to keep us entertained from departure to arrival. I think it lasted just under three hours, and I had a great time.

As for the scenery, the sunset was nice, but the night view of Honolulu was beautiful, and I was satisfied because I could see the fireworks well.

If I had to mention a downside, it would be that it was quite cramped due to the number of people, and most of the participants were Japanese, which made it feel a bit lacking in local charm. The woman sitting next to me seemed to be seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to be cautious.

アロハタワーからの花火は見たことが有るので趣向を変えてみてみたいと思っていた事と、一度はスターオブホノルルに乗ってみたいと思っていたので参加しました。
当初想像としてはあまりおいしくない食事が少し出て、後は飲み物でも飲みながら花火が上がるまで待つのかなと思っていましたが、料理は量もさることながら味の方もなかなかでしたし、出港から帰港までショーで盛り上げてくれて3時間弱だったと思いますが楽しく過ごせました。

又、景色ですがサンセットもそれなりに綺麗なのでしょうが、夜景のホノルルの町も綺麗で、花火も良く見えた事から満足しています。

難点を言えばかなり詰め込むので窮屈な事と参加のほとんどが日本人であまり風情が無い事でしょうか。私の隣の席にいた女性は船酔いをしている様でしたので乗り物に弱い人も少し注意した方が良いかもしれません。

We participated in a tour on the morning of December 19, just as the season started, as a couple. Although we only got to see a dolphin briefly, it was not a disappointing experience, and we were satisfied with the cruise, which had a different charm from the sunset dinner. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the background of the photo taken during boarding included an old warehouse and a cargo ship. (However, since it was a keepsake, I ended up purchasing it...) The food was cheap. Since we were returning home the next day, the reboarding ticket seems like it will go to waste, but I was satisfied as it provided a good conversation starter.

今シーズンがスタートしたばかりの12/19の午前中のツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
イルカをちょっと見られただけで、残念な結果ではありましたが、サンセットディナーとは趣の違うクルーズで満足でした。
敢えて苦言を呈するなら、乗船時の写真撮影で、背景に古ぼけた倉庫と貨物船が写っていたこと。（でも、記念なので購入しましたが・・・）。食事がチープ。
翌日帰国だったので、再乗船のチケットは無駄になりそうですが、話のタネとして満足でした。

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Good Tour for Oahu Whale Watching

Reviewed by: Lisa W.

We booked the early bird whale watching tour in early January. The ship, crew and food were great but we didn't see as many whales as I had hoped. We did find two whales swimming together and the ship was able to follow them for awhile so we got a few good pictures of the whales blowing water up, their backs surfacing and their tails coming out of the water.


It sounds like that was considered a good trip for Honolulu whale watching so I was happy with it. A lady we talked to had gone out on the same tour the day before and she didn't see anything so she came back out with our group the next day.


If you're looking to really see the whales, I would suggest going to Lahaina in Maui if possible. My husband and I booked an island tour of Maui later on in our vacation and we saw more whales in a shorter time period by driving down the coast near Lahaina than we did on our whale watching tour in Honolulu. It's still a good tour for those in Oahu though!

It was a bit disappointing. ちょっと残念でした

I had never visited Hawaii during the winter season, so I was looking forward to whale watching. The boat was large and more than adequate, but since it carried many passengers, I wished they had made some efforts to gather information about the whales in advance with smaller boats, so that the guests could enjoy the experience more. Because the boat was so big, it couldn't maneuver easily, and while the captain was likely focused on finding the whales, I felt there could have been a bit more creativity in their approach. Additionally, they offered tickets for another trip if we didn't see any whales, but since the validity period was only until March, it limits those who can return to Hawaii soon. I think at least a one-year validity would be more reasonable. I was also told that the only time available for a second trip was the same morning time, but if they truly wanted to provide good service, they should accommodate afternoon times as well. Everyone has their schedules set while in Hawaii, so I believe that kind of flexibility is necessary.

冬の時期にハワイを訪れたことがなかったので、ホエールウォッチングは楽しみにしていました。船は大きく申し分ありませんでしたが、乗船客もたくさん乗せているので、鯨がいくら自然の生き物であっても、先に小さめの船で鯨の情報を集めておくとか、少しでもお客さんが楽しめるように工夫をしてほしかったです。船が大きいために、小回りが利かないし、船長も鯨を求めて操縦しているのでしょうけれども、もう少し工夫ができるのではないかと感じてしまいました。さらに、鯨に会えなかったら、再度乗船できるチケットを配っていましたが、乗船できる期間も3月まででは、もう一度ハワイにすぐ来れる人は限られてしまうので、せめて有効期限は1年間にしてほしいと思います。乗船できる時間も朝の同じ時間しか無理だと言われましたが、本当に再度乗船してほしいというサービス精神があるのならば、午後の時間でも対応してほしいです。みんな、それなりにハワイでのスケジュールが決まっていると思うので、そのくらいの対応は必要だと思います。
