Oahu
I knew from the pre-check that the water level wasn't too low, so I didn't have high expectations, but I was really glad to see a manta swimming for the first time.
The hamburger for lunch was very delicious, and I was impressed.
I recommend this BBQ tour.
The weather was partly sunny and cloudy, but it felt quite cold, so it might be better to have something to wear over your clothes.
事前のチェックで、水位はそんなに低くない事が分かっていたので、あまり期待は大きくなかったのですが、マンタが泳いでいるのを初めて見れて良かったです
ランチのハンバーガーがとても美味しくて感激しました
このBBQ付きのツアーはお勧めです
晴れ時々曇りの天気でしたが、だいぶ寒く感じたので、羽織るものがあった方が良いかもしれません
Our experience started good and just got better. From pick up to drop off. The staff made the day from pick up, on the boat from service to knowledge. When we spotted the whales was the icing on the cake. Overall a fully enjoyable day.
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your experience, we’re glad you enjoyed exploring with us. We hope you’ll join us for another whale watch cruise soon! Mahalo!
This was the tour I was most looking forward to on my first trip to Hawaii. The sandbar was about 20 centimeters deep. Walking on the ocean was refreshing, and all the staff were friendly, so I enjoyed it without any worries. The joy of encountering sea turtles while snorkeling! There were about 5 or 6 of them... I was happy they came by the boat on the way back. Even the kids who couldn't swim enjoyed playing in the ocean with stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. And the lunch was very delicious! It might be rude to say it was unexpected, but it was truly tasty. If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely want to participate again.
初めてのハワイで一番楽しみにしていたツアーです。サンドバーは20センチくらい。「海を歩く」のも新鮮でしたし、スタッフがみなフレンドリーで何の不安もなく楽しめました。シュノーケリングでウミガメに遭遇した時の喜び!5〜6頭いたかな…帰りの船にも寄って来てくれて嬉しかったです。泳げない子供達もサップやカヤックで海遊びを満喫していました。そして、ランチがとても美味しい!予想外と言っては失礼ですが、本当に美味しかったです。またハワイに行けたら、必ず参加したいです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. It’s great to hear that you were able to see many turtles! We are also pleased that your expectations for lunch were pleasantly exceeded! We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。亀さんにたくさん会えたのですね!!良かったです。そして、ランチへの期待も良い意味での予想外で嬉しく思います!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
This was my first time visiting Hawaii during this season. I signed up with the mindset of just being lucky if I could see anything, but it turned out to be an amazing memory. I could see the ocean on both the right and left multiple times, and the water was so clear that I could see reflections on the surface. My child was also very happy. I participated in a cultural experience where we had fun making flower crowns together. If I come back during this season, I definitely want to participate again.
この時期のハワイへ行くのは初めてでした。
どれくらい見れるのか?見れたらラッキーだなぐらいの気持ちでの参加申し込みだったのですが、結果は最高の思い出になりました。
右にも左にも何度も見え、海水が綺麗なので水面に姿が見えていました。
子供も大喜びでした。
カルチャー体験にも参加させてもらいました。花冠子供と楽しく作りました。
またこの季節に来たら、ぜひまた参加したいと思いました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
For an additional $10, you can also rent a bicycle, which is great since it's close to Kailua Beach. You can also extend your visit to Lanikai Beach and go to town. This time I only had beach items, but next time I want to try kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding.
プラス$10で、自転車も借りる事が出来、カイルアビーチに近くて良かったです。
ラニカイビーチにも足を伸ばせますし、タウンにも行けます。
今回はビーチアイテムのみでしたが、次回はカヤックかスタンドアップバトルボードに挑戦してみたいです。
Dear Mee,
Thank you for participating in the beach tour and for writing a review. We hope you will consider trying kayaking or SUP next time. We sincerely look forward to your visit.
Thank you.

This is by far the best (and quickest) way to see the whole island of Oahu! I was amazed that in just a little over an hour we were able to see all of the major attractions of the whole island!
We saw everything from Pearl Harbor and Waikiki, to Diamond Head, Jurassic Valley, and even a waterfall that's only accessible from the air! The views were beyond breathtaking and the pilot made sure to turn the helicopter so that everyone could enjoy the view. He also provided a knowledgeable narration of Oahu's culture and history.
If you're visiting Oahu (or any of the islands) a circle island helicopter tour is definitely a must! You won't be disappointed!
I visited the dream sandbar that is often featured on TV. The weather was absolutely perfect, to the point where the locals said it felt like summer, not winter in Hawaii. My daughters, aged 6 and 12, had a great time. My eldest was especially excited to participate in snorkeling and encountered over ten sea turtles. The shallow area in the middle of the ocean was truly magical and wonderful. The guide warned us about seasickness, but the sea was calm, and we were totally fine. I would love to go again.
TVでもよく紹介される憧れのサンドバーへ行きました。現地の方も冬のハワイとは思えない夏のような天気ですと言われるくらい最高の天気でした。
6歳と12歳の娘も一緒でしたがすごく楽しんでいました。特に長女はシュノーケリングにも参加し10匹以上の海亀も遭遇したと興奮していました。海の真ん中にこのそうな浅瀬があるのが本当に幻想的で素晴らしかったです。
ガイドさんが船酔い注意ですと言ったおられましたが海も穏やかで全然大丈夫でした。また行きたいと思います。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating. The weather was wonderful, wasn't it? Your daughter also joined the snorkeling and got to see so many turtles! I hope it became a wonderful memory. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。素晴らしいお天気でしたね!!娘さんもスノーケルに参加して、そんなにたくさんの亀さんに会えたんですね!!素敵な思い出になったのではないでしょうか。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Before making the reservation, I was worried because there were many posts from people who didn't see any whales. However, on the day of the trip, the whales showed up as promised. The wind was strong, and my 2-year-old daughter was a bit uncomfortable, but when the whales appeared, she was completely captivated. Additionally, since it had just stopped raining, we were able to see a rainbow from the boat. I had low expectations for the meals included in the breakfast plan, and they turned out to be just as I expected...
予約前は体験談にくじらを見れなかった方の投稿が目立っていたので不安でしたが、当日はちゃんとくじらが出てきてくれました。
風が強くて2歳の娘は嫌がっていましたが、くじらが出てきたらじーっと見ていました。
また、雨上がりだったこともあり、船からは虹が見えました。
朝食付きのプランで食事は最初から期待していなかったのですが、その通りでした…
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We also appreciate your valuable feedback. As a future challenge, we would like to work on improvements with all staff members, including the person in charge. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、責任者を含めスタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The cruise itself was very enjoyable, and I was satisfied, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any whales. It seems that whales did appear, but we were facing the opposite direction, and by the time we moved toward where the whales were, it was too late to catch them. Since they did show up, we didn't participate the next day either. It turned out to be a bit of an unfortunate situation...
クルーズ自体はとても楽しく、満足しましたが、肝心の鯨は見れませんでした。実際には鯨は現れたみたいですが、自分たちが反対の方向にいたことや、一瞬しか現れなく鯨のある方向に移動しても間に合いませんでした。現れたことには現れたので次の日も参加には至りませんでした。ちょっと不幸なパターンになりました、、、
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We are also disappointed that we were unable to observe any whales during this trip. We sincerely hope that you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii during whale season. Our entire staff looks forward to welcoming you back.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また、今回は鯨の観測が出来なかった事は、私共も残念に思っております。次回鯨のシーズンにハワイへお越しの際には、再乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
To conclude, it was really great! The day we went was a Sunday, but the park was not crowded, and we were able to ride the water slides without waiting in line. I lost count of how many times we rode them! It's rare to have such an experience in Japan, so I was very satisfied! I also noticed that there were many Japanese people and tourists around. The shops were a bit pricey. Generally, we rented lockers, but the touch panel operation when renting them was a bit confusing. When the bus came to pick us up from the hotel, it arrived about 5 minutes late, which made me a little anxious.
結論から言いますと、すごくよかったです!私たちが行った日は日曜日だったのですが園内は空いており、ウォータースライダーは並ぶことなく乗ることができました。何回乗ったか分からないくらいです!日本ではここまでたくさん乗れることがあまりないので大満足でした!!周りの人も日本人や観光客が多いイメージ。売店は少し高めでした。基本的にロッカーを借りるのですが、借りる時にタッチパネルの操作があり、少しわかりづらかったです。ホテルにお迎えに来ていただく時にバスが集合時間の5分ほど遅れて到着したので少し焦りました。
Passeio cumpriu com o prometido, porem a vista da baleia pode ser de longe, já que é um grande barco e chegar mais próximo poderia incomodar. Tripulação bem atenciosa. O café do buffet é ok, talvez compense ir em outro local para tomar café melhor pelo mesmo valor.
I signed up for the Star of Honolulu tour because it promised less rocking. I didn't know that we had to stay 100 yards away from the whales until we boarded the ship, so I was disappointed by the difference from the impactful photos in the brochure. The crew pointed out the direction of the whales several times, but they mentioned that the splashes were far away, so the people around couldn't see them either.
If you're taking a cruise ship for the first time, I think you'll enjoy the atmosphere. A pod of about 20 dolphins appeared right next to the ship, and there was a cheer from everyone there.
揺れが少ないということでスターオブホノルルのツアーに申し込みました。船に乗るまでクジラと100ヤード離れていなければいけないとしらなかったのでパンフレットの写真のインパクトとの違いにガッカリしました。クルーの人達は何度もクジラのいる方向を教えてくれましたが、遥か彼方で水しぶきがあがっているので周りの人達も見えなかったと言ってました。
クルーズ船に初めて乗るなら雰囲気を楽しめると思います。20匹程のイルカの大群が船の真横に現れてそこだけ歓声が上がっていました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are also disappointed that we were unable to observe whales this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on board during the next whale season when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また、今回は鯨の観測が出来なかった事は、私共も残念に思っております。次回鯨のシーズンにハワイへお越しの際には、再乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I thought it would be lucky if I could see it, but I was actually disappointed that I couldn't. I kept wondering if it would happen, and then it just ended. I guess it was nice to enjoy the cruise, though. I would like to reboard if possible, but I was told I need to make a reservation by phone, and I'm hesitant because I'm not confident in my English skills.
見れたらラッキーぐらいでしたが、実際見れなくてがっかり。くるかくるかと思いながらおわってしまいました。クルーズを楽しんだと思えばまぁ良かったのかな。できれば再乗船したいのですが、電話予約しないといけないと言われ、英語力に自信ないので、躊躇しております。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We are also disappointed that we were unable to observe any whales during your trip. We sincerely hope that you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii during whale season. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you back. If you would like to make a reservation by phone, we have a Japanese line available, so please feel free to call us.

I had an absolutely wonderful time! A pod of dolphins came close to us. The yacht staff were very lively, took photos for us, and engaged with us Japanese guests, making it a fun experience! Thank you for the lovely time!
最高に楽しい時間でした!イルカの群れも寄ってきてくれました。ヨットのお姉さん達もとっても元気で写真を撮ってくれたり、私達日本人にも声をかけてくれて楽しませてくれました!ステキな時間をありがとうございました!
I boarded with children aged 5, 3, and 0.
It's a comfortable tour for families!
I didn't mind the rocking at all.
Since it starts early in the morning, we brought sandwiches and snacks.
Snacking while looking at Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach was the best.
Unfortunately, we only caught a glimpse of a whale from a distance.
However, we encountered a pod of dolphins and saw dozens of them!
It was amazing!!
I think it's great for elderly people and families with children.
5、3、0歳の子供と乗船しました。
子連れには快適なツアー!
揺れも気になりませんでした。
朝は早いので、サンドイッチやお菓子を持参。
ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチを眺めながらのスナックは最高でした。
残念ながらクジラは遠目にチラッと見えた程度。
ただ、イルカの群れに遭遇し何十頭も見れました!
感激!!
高齢者やお子様連れには良いと思います。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that you were unable to see the whales clearly. However, we are very pleased to hear that your family enjoyed the experience. We will continue to strive for improvement, hoping that you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii.
この度はスターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうございました。はっきりとクジラをご覧にならなかっとことは、残念で仕方がありません。でも、ご家族皆さまで楽しんで頂けたことは心より嬉しく感じております。またハワイにお越しの際に再乗船していただけることを願いながら、改善に向け努力を続けてまいります。
The shuttle bus took about 45 minutes to the boat dock, and the boat ride was around 10 minutes. There were some waves, but I didn't feel seasick at all. More than that, the scenery around was amazing!
It was early February, but the weather was nice, and while the sun was out, it felt like midsummer. It was great for taking photos! When the sun went behind the clouds, it felt a bit chilly. The sea was somewhat cold (laughs), and I shivered a bit after snorkeling, but as long as I was in the sun, it was totally fine! They also provided warm drinks.
I was able to enjoy everything: the sandbar, snorkeling, SUP, and lunch. I saw five turtles, which felt like five times the happiness! The Japanese guide joked that the validity period is one year, so come back again. It was really fun (^ ^).
I truly think it was an activity worth experiencing (^ ^).
送迎バスで船乗り場まで約45分程移動し、船は10分程度。波は多少ありましたが船酔いは全く気になりませんでした。それより周りの景色が最高!
2月頭でしたが天気が良く、太陽が出る間は真夏のようでした。写真映えもします(^ ^)太陽が隠れると肌寒い感じはしました。海はやや冷たいです(笑)シュノーケルの後は震えましたが太陽に当たれば全然平気!温かいドリンクも出してもらえました。
サンドバー、シュノーケル、SUP、ランチ全て楽しむことができました。亀は5匹見れたので5回分の幸せ、有効期限は1年なのでまた来てねとジョークを交えた日本人ガイドの方、面白かったです(^ ^)
本当に体験して良かったと思えるアクティビティーです(^ ^)
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for joining us. Even though it's Hawaii, the sea temperature in February can be quite cold. However, the scenery looks clearer in winter! The views of the mountains, ocean, and marine life from the sandbar are truly beautiful. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ハワイとはいえ、やはり二月の海水温は冷たくなりますよね。でも、景色は冬の方が澄んで見えるんですよ!!サンドバーから眺める山、海、生き物などの景色は、本当に綺麗ですよね。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
The weather was nice, and we were able to see a big rainbow along the way! The whales didn't show themselves much, but they did blow water and revealed their large bodies above the surface! It was moving! They continued to blow water, but they didn't show themselves much after that; however, this time they showed their big tails! It seemed a bit difficult to see them from the front like in the advertisements, but I'm glad I woke up early to participate! For breakfast, there were bread, sausage, scrambled eggs, rice, and several types of fruit.
天気も良くて途中大きな虹も見ることが出来ました!肝心のクジラはなかなか姿を見せてくれなかったけど、潮を吹いて大きな体を水面から見せてくれました!感動しました!その後も潮を吹くけどなかなか姿は見せてくれませんでしたが、今度は大きな尾っぽを見せてくれました!広告になっていたような頭から姿を見るのはちょっと難しそうですが、早起きして参加してよかったです!朝ごはんはパン、ソーセージ、スクランブルエッグ、ライス、フルーツ数種類ありました。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. It's truly unfortunate that you weren't able to see a whale in its entirety. However, I hope you had the opportunity to witness it spouting several times, making your cruise worthwhile. We would love for you to join us again when you visit Hawaii in the winter.
この度はスターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうございました。クジラを丸ごとご覧にできなかったこと、本当に残念でしたね。でも、潮を吹くところを何度か遭遇されて様で、クルーズにいらしたかいがあったことを願っております。また、冬の時期にハワイにお越しになる際には、ぜひ再乗船していただきたいと思います。
First of all, I was surprised by the view from the bus! The sight of the large slides lined up was so exciting! The lockers are paid, and although there are supposed to be coupons, I couldn't find them. The prices are a bit high at $13 for small and $18 for large, but the convenience of being able to unlock them multiple times was great!
It was a Sunday at the pool, but there were hardly any lines, so I was able to smoothly enjoy the slides I liked! In particular, the wave pool was incomparable to those in Japan, with large waves repeatedly crashing in, which was so much fun! Also, it was very appealing that you could ride the slides while taking photos with a GoPro or smartphone!
We chose a plan with unlimited soft drinks, and we could select from about six types of juice! I really appreciated that plan. Additionally, the lazy river was quite the opposite of those in Japan and was very calm. The waves were so gentle that I could hardly tell if I was being carried along. However, the pink floaties were Instagram-worthy, and there was a surprise waterfall towards the end that was thrilling!
If you have time to spare, I think it's worth stopping by! Also, for all slides except one, you have to carry your own floaties, so make sure to choose the right floatie for the slide before climbing! Check before you go up the stairs! If you're unsure, ask the lifeguards; they are all very kind!
The restrooms were clean, and the changing rooms and shower rooms were well-equipped, but there were no hooks to hang bags in the changing room, so I think it would be even more convenient if there were hooks!
まず、バスから見た光景にびっくり!!
大きなスライダーがずらりと並ぶ景色に胸がワクワクしました!
ロッカーは有料で、クーポンはあるらしいのですが見つからず、小$13・大$18となかなか高めの設定ですが、何度も開錠可能な所は便利でした!
プールは日曜日だったのですが、ほとんど並ぶことなく、スイスイと好きなスライダーに乗ってエンジョイすることができました!!
特に、波のプールは日本とは比べものにならず、大きな波が何度も繰り返し立ち込めてきて、とっても楽しかったです!!また、スライダーに乗る際にはGoProやスマホで撮影しながら乗れるところもとても魅力的でした!!!
私たちは、ソフトドリンク飲み放題のプランで、6種類ほどのジュースが選べました!良いプランだとしみじみ…
あと、流れるプールはこれまた日本とは真逆で、とても静かでした。流されているのか分からないくらい穏やかな波でした。ただ、ピンク色の浮き輪がインスタ映えし、最後らへんには滝のサプライズがあり興奮しました!!
時間に余裕がある方は、寄っても良いとは思います!
そして、1つのスライダー以外は全て、自分で浮き輪を運ばなければならないので、乗る前には必ずスライダーに合った浮き輪を選んで登りましょう!!階段に登る前に要チェック!!!分からない場合は監視員さんに聞きましょう!とっても優しい方ばかりです!!
トイレは清潔で、更衣室やシャワールームも充実していましたが、更衣室にカバンなどを掛けられるフックがなかったので、フックがあればさらに便利だと思いました!!
First, the buffet.
While listening to the ukulele performance and singing, I enjoyed about 17 types of delicious meats, salads, and desserts.
I was very satisfied to be able to eat three types of meat: chicken, pork, and beef.
After that, we went to the second-floor seating for the rock and hula show.
Being close to the stage, I was very satisfied to experience various performances all at once, including hula dancing, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and fire dancing.
Since the show venue is cool in the evening, I think it's a good idea to have a long-sleeved cover-up.
まずは、ビュッフェ。
ウクレレの演奏と歌を聞きながら、美味しいお肉やサラダ、デザートを17種類ほど頂きました。
鳥、豚、牛と3種類のお肉を食べれてすごく満足です。
その後、2階席でロックアフラショー。
舞台からも近くフラダンス、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、ファイアダンスと様々なショーを一度に体験でき非常に満足でした。
夕方くらいからの外食でショーの室内も涼しいので長袖の羽織るものがあると良いと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The bus driver and the boat staff were all kind and it was really great. I enjoyed both the sandbar and snorkeling. I was really happy to see two turtles. We split into two groups for snorkeling, and while waiting for one group, we not only had lunch but also enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. During our exploration of Kailua, I had pancakes and enjoyed shopping. The bus was comfortable too, so it was very good!
バスの運転手さん、船のスタッフさん、みんな親切でとてもよかったです。
サンドバーもシュノーケリングも楽しめました。亀を2匹見れたので、ほんとうによかったです。二つのグループに別れてシュノーケリングを行うのですが、片方のグループを待ってる間昼ご飯を食べるだけではなく、サップも楽しむことができました。
カイルア散策は、ホットケーキ食べ、ショッピングを楽しみました。
バスの中も快適だったので、とても良かったです!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We are very happy to hear that you also joined the Kailua tour and enjoyed the tour throughout the day. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。カイルアツアーにもご参加頂けたようで、一日通してツアーを楽しんで頂き、とても嬉しく思います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
This event provided insight into a variety of cultural dancing all in one sitting. It was incredible to hear the stories and rich history of the people today and in the past. The MC engaged the audience. The buffet was a great spread for people with food preferences and allergies. It provided great value for the money spent. Only wish was having the opportunity to experience this outdoors. It would have been much more of an experience.
There are plenty of events on the ship, and the staff really knows how to entertain! You can tell they are putting in their all to make it enjoyable. I definitely want to go on this tour again!
船の中ではイベントが盛り沢山で、スタッフの方々がとにかく楽しませてくれる!
全力で楽しませてくれてるのがわかります。
また絶対に行きたいツアーです!
Thank you for your message. Please come back to visit us again. Both the staff and the dolphins are looking forward to seeing you!
書き込みありがとうございます。是非また遊びにいらしてください。スタッフもイルカもお待ちしています!
When we actually started to see a little bit of activity. They turned back to port. Only saw a few blows and a little bit of the side of a whale. A big disappointment!! That should of been considered a no show and whale watch guarantee should have been applied
We had a wonderful time on our whale watching excursion! We were picked up by the bus - it was early/on-time. We made it to the dock, got our picture taken (didn't buy it, it was too pricey!), then on to the boat. The boat was huge and there was plenty of seating inside and on the top deck. We opted out of lunch, which I think was for the best since me and my husband didn't feel that great on the ride out in the open water. But it did look nice and drinks were available for purchase. Once we got out on the water, we started seeing some whale blows and headed more in that direction. We then saw dolphins swimming next to our boat which was just as exciting as seeing the whale! But what was even cooler was once we got closer to the whale, marine biologist said that what we were seeing was the dolphins were playing with the whale, which he hadn't seen in 4 years! He was very informative. We also enjoyed some live music which seemed the bring the whales and dolphins around more! We probably saw about eight whales in all, ten dolphins and one sea turtle. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, aside from feeling a little seasick.
Aloha! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your whale watch cruise with us! Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you aboard again soon. Mahalo and a hui hou (until next time)!
I participated with my 6-year-old and 3-year-old children.
We joined the 2nd-floor buffet dinner plan. Check-in was on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and we were guided to the buffet seats in order of arrival. To avoid crowding, we were seated at tables in sequence. While waiting for the buffet, we were entertained with hula shows and ukulele performances, which was a nice touch.
The buffet included not only salads and fruits but also hearty dishes like whole roasted pig and roast beef. In the latter part of the meal, there were small cakes, sorbet, coffee, and tea, so we could enjoy a complete dining experience. The Mai Tai cocktail that came with the buffet could be substituted with fruit juice for children or those who prefer non-alcoholic options, and it was delicious.
After finishing the meal, we moved to the show in order. Although we were seated near the back, the venue was large and elevated, making it easy to see. The show featured a variety of performances, from basic hula dancing to Elvis, Michael Jackson, and fire dancing, providing an enjoyable experience. The children had fun, even if they didn’t fully understand everything.
During the show, it was dark and the sound was loud, which caused some little babies to cry, but it was entertainment that everyone, from adults to children, could enjoy. At the end of the show, they were happy to let us take photos with our smartphones and cameras, allowing us to enjoy the experience until the very end.
6歳と3歳子供を連れて参加しました。
2階ブッフェディナープラン
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にて受付、受付順にブッフェ席へ。ブッフェは混みあわないようテーブル順に案内されます。ブッフェ待ちの間はフラショーやウクレレで歌や踊りでおもてなしされ配慮されていました。
ブッフェにはサラダやフルーツのほかにも豚の丸焼きやローストビーフなど、ボリュームのある食事もあります。後半には小さなケーキとソルベ、コーヒー、紅茶もあるのでひととおりの食事をいただくことができます。
ブッフェのセットについてくるマイタイカクテルも子供やノンアルコールの方はフルーツジュースにしてもらえるので、こちらもおいしかった。
食事が終わった方から順にショーへ移動。案内されたのはほぼ最後列でしたが、会場は大きくても高さがあるので見やすかったです。ベーシックなフラダンスから、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、ファイアーダンス等、バラエティーに富んで楽しめる構成でした。子供たちもわからないなりに楽しんでいました。
ショーの間は暗いし、音も大きいので小さな赤ちゃんは泣いていましたが笑、大人から子供まで楽しめるエンターテインメントでした。ショー終わりで自分のスマホやカメラで写真も快く撮影してくれるので最後まで楽しめます。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
On January 30th, I had high hopes for the season, but unfortunately, I didn't see any whales. I didn't even see any dolphins. The weather was nice, and the cruise itself was good. If you don't see anything, it would be nice to have an option for the next ticket, as some people can go and some cannot, such as offering a "compensation gift."
1/30、時期的にも期待していたが、クジラは残念ながら見られなかった。イルカすら見られなかった。
天気がよく、クルーズ自体は良かった。
見られなかった場合の次の乗船券は行ける人と行けない人がいるので、選択制で「お詫びの品をあげる」等あると良いと思う。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that the whales did not appear. We will share your valuable feedback regarding "offering a token of apology" with our staff and use it as a reference for future improvements. Thank you once again for your patronage.
この度は、スターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうございました。クジラが姿をあらわさず、心より残念に感じております。「お詫びの品をあげる」の貴重なご意見は、スタッフ一同と共有させて頂き、今後の改善の参考にいたします。今回は、本当にありがとうございました。
I was able to see whales from quite a distance. The view of Diamond Head from the ocean was also great, and you can enjoy it even alone. The food was a bit disappointing, so it might be better to eat at the hotel.
かなり遠くですが、クジラ見れました。海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドも良かったし、一人でも楽しめます。
食事はちょっといまいちなので、ホテルで済ませた方がいいかも。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that you were unable to see the whales clearly. We will share your valuable feedback regarding the meal with our staff and use it for future improvements. Thank you very much once again.
この度は、スターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうございました。はっきりとクジラをご覧になれなかった事は、残念でなりません。食事に関する貴重なご意見は、スタッフ一同と共有し、今後の改善の役にたたせて頂きます。今回は本当にありがとうございました。
I participated in the morning.
The weather was a bit bad at first, but it gradually cleared up.
The sandbar wasn't out, and the water came up to my waist, but I was able to see sea turtles up close while snorkeling.
I had fun playing with stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing, and the staff really got everyone excited.
It's nice that we could return to the hotel in the early afternoon.
午前に参加
少し天気が悪かったですが、だんだん晴れてきました
サンドバーは出ておらず腰まで水がきましたが、
シュノーケリングでは間近にホヌを見ることができました
サップやカヌーで遊んだり、スタッフさんが色々盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales, but I was able to enjoy the view of Diamond Head from the sea and the streets of Waikiki, making for a delightful cruising experience.
I also received a free ticket for the next time, so if I have the time, I will try again. By the way, I was able to see dolphins.
残念ながらクジラは見れなかったのですが

この度は、スターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうございました。クジラが姿を現さずに、本当に残念に思います。それでも、クルーズを楽しんでいただき、心より嬉しく感じております。無料チケットをご利用していただき、今シーズン中に再乗船していただけることを願っております。本当にありがとうございました。
I think it's a good idea to check the tide levels in the morning and afternoon of the available days and book at the best timing. The weather is hard to predict, but on the day I participated, it was cloudy at first, but gradually cleared up, and it felt really nice. The water was shallow enough to reach my ankles. I was also able to see sea turtles. It was a lot of fun!
潮位は、参加可能な日の午前、午後、で調べてベストのタイミングで申し込まれると良いと思います。
天気はなんとも予想できませんが、私が参加した日は雲っていましたがだんだんと晴れ間が出てきまして、とても気持ちが良かったです。
一番浅いところでくるぶしくらいまで下がりました。
海ガメも見ることができました。
とても楽しかったです!
