All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

We started with a photo shoot, then boarding, followed by a buffet-style meal, and finally, we set sail. Within about an hour and a half, we encountered multiple whales. However, it seems that seeing whales breach is quite rare. Even so, just being able to see their dorsal fins and flippers up close was exciting! If you let your excitement take over and talk to the international guests, it can lead to great cultural exchanges! I did feel a bit seasick, but overall, I was very satisfied.

写真撮影→乗船→食事(ビュッフェスタイル)→出港の順でスタート。1時間半程度で複数回、クジラに出会えました。ただ、クジラが跳ねるような仕草は滅多に見れないそうです。それでも近くで背びれとヒレを見ることができるだけでテンション上がります！テンションに任せて外国の皆様に話しかけると良い異文化交流にも！船酔いしちゃって辛かったですが、それでも満足度高かったです。

Overall, it was cloudy, but it was great that it was sunny during the dolphin watching by boat and at the water play area.

The weather had not been good for about a week, and there was a possibility that we might not see any dolphins, but we were able to see a pod of about 20 dolphins and a sea turtle, which was amazing.
*Some people were feeling nauseous, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication with you or bring some along.

全体的に曇りでしたが、ボートで向かうイルカウォッチング、水上遊び場所では晴れていて良かったです。

1週間程天候が良くなく、イルカを見ることが出来ない可能性があるとのことでしたが、無事に20匹程の群れとウミガメを見ることが出来て最高でした。
※吐いてる方もいましたので、酔い止めは飲んでくるか、または持って行っても良いと思いました

I had a very precious experience being able to see a baby whale up close. My one-and-a-half-year-old daughter was with me, but she fell asleep during the boat's rocking. After she woke up, she was happy walking around the boat. I was satisfied that we also got to see dolphins at the end, but the boat was rocking a lot... A few people ended up getting sick, and my husband was fighting to hold it together. My daughter and I managed to be okay. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication!

赤ちゃんクジラも近くで観れてとても貴重な経験出来ました。
1歳半の娘も一緒でしたが、船の揺れで途中はお寝んね。
起きてからは船の中で歩いたりご機嫌でした。
最後にいるかも見れたので満足でしたが、
船が揺れて揺れて、、、
何人かリバースしてしまったり、主人もギリギリの戦いをしてました。
私と娘はなんとかセーフ。
酔い止め薬は飲んでおくべきだと思います！

Best entertainment in all of Oahu! We might even go back before we fly back to California it was that good! Impeccable 5 star service, great food and entertainment was top notch. #1 Choice in Waikiki. Don't miss out on the best show! We came on my birthday and we arrived late so we were very stressed that we missed all of the pre show stuff but the staff was prepared for us and managed to accommodate us anyways. The theatre is beautiful and everything from the dining to the stage and theatrical to the singers, dancers and outfits was very high quality. We would definitely recommend this as a top choice for anyone visiting Oahu on vacation!

There was no sand beach but the water only came to my knees It was awesome to stand in the ocean even if you can’t swim. No scary wave or under tow to worry about. The crew were efficient alerts for topknot.i would recommend this to everyone I wish I had brought my 7 year old grandson. The cute old guy playing the guitar set the mood and all was well with the world we were in Hawaii We got to see lots sea turtles!! If you swim this will exceed your expectations if was fun watching the kids snorkel and we could tell them from the boat where the turtles were! I was setting next to Japanese prince or something because when I tried to talk to him he ignored me so I told the crew that spoke Japanese to tell him it’s was fun visiting with him he laughed and nodded at me

My husband and I elected for the Appetizer Cruise option on the Fireworks night (Friday). The Majestic was a solid, stable boat with seating and standing / inside and outside options. Additional drinks were reasonably priced and the buffet appetizers were tasty. The evening entertainers (two musicians and a Hula dancer) were terrific.

Given that this cruise is only on Fridays I booked it from home before leaving, which also gave us something to look forward to in advance, thiugh later learned that some folks were able to secure a spot a few days before. For the price, thus is MUST! I will forever remember watching the fireworks from the ocean with the backdrop of Waikiki hotels all aglow....

We were able to see whales several times! So, I am satisfied.

However, on this day, the waves were quite rough, and about half of the passengers on board were vomiting due to seasickness, which was quite a scene. Fortunately, my family all took motion sickness medication before boarding, so we managed to avoid getting sick, but the rocking was enough to make anyone anxious, even with the medication.

While it's understandable since we are dealing with nature, during the two and a half hours of the trip, those who got sick were not able to enjoy the whales at all. It was noted that the Majestic is less prone to rocking, but depending on the weather, it can still be quite bumpy. Therefore, I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication before going.

数回クジラ見えました！ですので満足です。


しかしこの日はかなり揺れが凄く、乗船した方の約半数の方々が船酔いで嘔吐されており大変な様子でした。
幸いにもうちの家族は全員乗船前に酔い止めを服用していた為、酔わずに済みましたが服用していても不安になるほどの揺れでした。

自然が相手ですので仕方ないとはいえ、乗船時間2時間半の間、酔われた方々はクジラどころではない様子でした。
マジェスティック号は揺れにくいと記載されていましたが、天候によってはかなり揺れます。
ですので、しっかりと酔い止めを服用されていくことをお勧めします。

I was a bit worried about getting seasick since we were going out on a boat, but it didn't rock at all, and I was completely fine. The BBQ hamburger was delicious, and we saw a lot of sea turtles, so it was a very satisfying tour. I highly recommend it. However, maybe because it was January, it was really cold out on the water, and I couldn't fully enjoy snorkeling, which was a bit disappointing.

船で沖にでるので、船酔いが若干不安でしたが、全く揺れることなく大丈夫でした。ＢＢＱハンバーガーも美味な上に、ウミガメもめっちゃ見れ、大満足のツアーでした。お勧めします。ただ、1月だからなのか、沖に行くと寒くて、寒くて、シュノーケリングが満喫できなかったのでが残念でした。

We purchased Green Room tickets and the whole experience was wonderful. We were met at a special entrance door by friendly staff and were directed to the back stage area for a tour there. The tour host was a very nice fellow who showed us the entire back stage set up with props, costumes, and lots of other interesting equipment.

We then met Katy Perry (very hot) in the Green Room for champagne and snacks prior to the mean. It was a large First Class room where we spoke to other guests and relaxed with drinks before dinner.

We then proceeded to have dinner and wine right in front of the stage. The lobster and steak dinner was super. Again wonderful service.

The Rock-A-Hula Dinner Show was very enjoyable, especially at the best seats in the house! Elvis was quite good. Katy Perry was even better. Katy looks so much like the real singer it was amazing. The dancers and singers surrounding them were beautiful and wonderful as well.

Then Michael Jackson rocked the house. Of course the dancers with Michael Jackson were amazing as well. Everyone rocked along with them.

The Fire Dancing was also so well done as was the great Hawaiian theme dancing. All the dances were so well choreographed and performed that it was indeed breathtaking.

Everyone had a great time at this wonderful, classy, and professional show. We will go next time again when we are in Hawaii !!! Very recommended to see!!!

I was glad to encounter more sea turtles than I had imagined. The snorkeling was organized in a way where participants moved along the coral reef in a line, so I was focused on keeping pace with those in front, behind, and beside me, leaving me little room to leisurely enjoy the underwater scenery. It would have been nice to have a bit more space to take my time and enjoy it.

想像以上にたくさんのウミガメに出会えて良かったです。シュノーケリングはツアー参加者が連なる形で珊瑚礁に沿って進むスタイルだったので、前後左右の参加者のペースに合わせる事に精一杯でゆっくりと海中の景色を楽しむ余裕がありませんでした。もう少し間隔を空けてゆっくり楽しめたら良かったです。

My husband and i booked this tour pretty last minute and we were so happy we did!
We were staying down at Waikiki Beach and got the bus pick up service from the Marriott which was prompt and well organised. Cousin Knox was our tour leader and kept the bus entertained and informed for the hour long trip. He was funny and accommodating.
Arrived and Cousin Knox picked up all our tickets for the day to get us started. Everything was well explained and we were off with our guides for the day. The guides did so well in the torrential rain which the Centre provided us with ponchos. Some of the activities were busy when we arrived but the guides were able to take us to other areas which were very entertaining and provided us with some insights into their cultures. The luau was very good fun to enjoy whilst eating dinner. Plenty of food and drinks. Well organised tables - we were lucky to get a table in the front.
The only suggestion would be to allow more time for lunch. We arrived at the bbq lunch and unfortunately only had 25 mins to eat as had to get to the start of one of the displays. Not enough time especially since it was a pay your own lunch.
Overall a great day from start to finish where we wwere dropped off back where we were picked up.

I was really helped out.
First, the power of the slide!!! For a moment, I thought my mind went blank, and then the high-speed spin exploded. It reminded me of my childhood. There are still so many more!
I thought the food at places like this wouldn't be good, but the cheeseburger was surprisingly high quality! With thick meat and refreshing tomatoes, it was unbeatable with a beer...
I really enjoyed the pool to the point where I wondered if it was really February!

ほんまにたすかりました。
まずスライダーの威力！！！一瞬頭が真っ白になったかと思うと今度は高速スピンが炸裂しました。我ながら子供のころをおもいだしました。他にもまだまだたくさん！
どーせこーゆとこの食べ物なんて美味しくないだろうと思ってましたが、チーズハンバーガーだけわクオリティ高めでした！分厚いお肉にさっぱりトマト、ビールと一緒にこれわたまんないね…
本当に2月か！？と思えるくらいプールで楽しめました。

The weather was mild, and there were no waves, making it a perfect day. About 20 minutes after departure, we spotted a whale and spent the rest of the time following it. The whale seemed relaxed, and we could see it spouting water every 10 to 15 minutes as it breathed. I'm glad we got to see the whale.

気候がおだやか、かつ、波もない、おそらく絶好の日でした。
出港後20分くらいでクラジを1尾発見し、その1尾をずっと追いかける形でした。そのクジラはリラックスしているようで呼吸する度(10ー15分)に潮吹きなどしているのが見えました。クジラが見れてよかったです。

I think it's difficult to participate exactly at low tide, but it was a valuable and interesting experience to stand in the middle of the sea and take photos. You can also see turtles napping while snorkeling, and you can have fun with floaties and SUP.

干潮ちょうどに参加するのは難しいと思いますが、それでも海の真ん中で立って写真を撮れるのは貴重で面白かったです。シュノーケルではかめのお昼寝も見られますし、浮き輪やSAPでも遊べます。

I participated in the monitor tour this time, and it was a wonderful experience; I'm really glad I joined! The backstage tour before the show was exciting as we got to see behind the scenes that we usually can't access! They even took photos for us.
The meal was luxurious and very satisfying!
And the show featured the dancers' energetic performances, which were truly impressive!! From hula to impersonation shows, I had a great time, and the time flew by.
I went on the last day of my stay in Waikiki, and it was a fitting way to spend my final night. Thank you very much.

今回モニターツアーで参加をしましたがとても良い経験ができ、本当に参加して良かったです！ショー前のバックツアーでは普段は見られない裏側を見られてわくわく！写真も撮ってくださいました。
お食事も豪華で大満足！
そしてショーはダンサーの皆様のエネルギッシュなパフォーマンスが圧巻でした！！フラからモノマネショーまで、とても楽しめてあっという間の時間でした。
ワイキキ滞在日の最終日に行きましたが最後の夜にふさわしい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

I think many people hesitate to choose this option because it is relatively expensive compared to other tour companies, but I went with Captain Bruce again, just like last time.
- The buses and boats for pickup are new and clean.
- The staff are all very kind.
- They are apparently the only company that can take you right up to the sandbar by boat.
It was unfortunate that the weather was a bit cloudy (the photos don't come out well unless it's sunny), but I was very satisfied to be able to swim with sea turtles. My 5-year-old and 9-year-old children also had a lot of fun with the cheerful staff.
I haven't experienced other tour companies, but if I go to the sandbar again, I think I will use Captain Bruce next time as well. It seems that the sandbar is more visible in the afternoon.

他催行会社に比べて割高なため選択に迷う方が多いと思いますが、私は前回同様にキャプテン・ブルースで行ってきました。
・ピックアップ用のバスや船が新しく清潔
・スタッフの方が皆とても親切
・サンドバーの目の前まで船で入れる唯一の業者（らしい）
天候が曇り気味だったのは残念でしたが（写真は晴れないと綺麗に撮れません）、ウミガメと泳ぐこともできて大変満足です。5歳・9歳の子供も明るいスタッフさん達に沢山構って頂き、とても楽しそうでした。
他の催行会社さんを経験したことが無いのですが、またサンドバーに行くとしたら次回もキャプテン・ブルースを利用すると思います。砂浜が出やすいのは午後らしいですよ。

We were very happy with our experience day.The whole trip was fab,from the food to seeing the whales,such majestic creatures.Would highly recommend anyone to do this trip.Youll love it

First of all, the tour company did nothing wrong. On the contrary, I found their smooth operation and progress to be quite favorable.

Perhaps my expectations for whale watching were too high or my imagination ran wild. During the approximately one-and-a-half-hour cruise, we only saw a distant spout once and a dolphin jump once. While we did see something, I had imagined seeing a large tail up close or multiple whales swimming, so I felt a bit disappointed.

However, this is something that depends on luck. Overall, the tour itself received a high rating.

まずツアー会社は何も悪くありません。
むしろスムーズな運営、進行をされており好感が持てました。

ホエールウォッチングに対しての理想というか想像が膨らみすぎていたのかもしれません。
約1時間半のクルーズで、見えたのが遠くでの潮吹き1回とイルカのジャンプ1回でした。
見れたといえば見れたのですが、もっとこう間近で大きな尻尾が見えたり何頭ものクジラが泳ぐ様子を想像していただけに少し残念な気持ちでした。

ただこればっかりは時の運もあるのでしょう。
ツアー自体の評価は高かったです。

The weather forecast in Hawaii is not reliable!! The rain forecast turned out to be "clear skies," and there were no waves, making the boat ride comfortable. We saw the humpback whales' spouts and tails many times, and each time, the passengers erupted in applause. The boat was large and stable. I appreciate the crew for their excellent hospitality. I made a web reservation with Veltra on-site, and their quick response was a great help. I was able to board safely.

ハワイの天気予報は、あてになりませんね！！　雨の予報が「快晴」、しかも波はなく船も快適でした。
何度も、ザトウクジラの汐吹と尾びれの姿が見られそのたびに乗船客の拍手がやみませんでした。
船は大きく安定していました。
クルーの方々、最高のもてなしに感謝します。
ベルトラさん、現地でWEB予約しましたが素早い対応で助かりました。無事に乗船できました。

I was able to see a pod of dolphins in addition to the whales! It was amazing to see Diamond Head as well! I would love to go again if I have the chance.

くじらに加えイルカの群れも見れました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドも見れて最高でした！また機会あれば行きたいですね。

We didn't see any whales at first, and while we were enjoying the scenery, saying to my child, "Looks like there are no whales," we encountered a group of about three whales!

We got to see a whale jump right at the beginning! We also saw plenty of spouts and tails! My child was so excited, and I really felt it was worth participating!

We discovered them about 15 minutes before returning to port, so we ended up coming back quite late, but we were very satisfied!

くじらが全然現れず、船内で振替チケットのアナウンスがあり、全然くじらおらんなぁ～、と子どもと言いながら諦めて景色を楽しんでいた途中にくじらの群れ３つくらいに遭遇しました！

初っ端にくじらのジャンプを見られました☆
潮吹きも、しっぽもいっぱい見られました☆
子どもが大興奮で、参加して本当に良かったなーと思いました！

帰港する１５分くらい前に発見したので、帰港するのはだいぶ遅くなりましたが、大満足でした！

Given I love history and being of pacific island descent I thoroughly enjoyed this. Tours were well versed and the halls had levels of knowledge and artefacts that were quite fascinating. The Kings Room also had an air of the Kings being in the room with you. Great for kids too as the science center very educational but enjoyable.

Unfortunately, since it was with animals, I knew I couldn't expect a 100% success rate, but I was disappointed not to encounter any. I persevered on the deck despite the strong winds and rain. However, I was able to enjoy the endless horizon and the beautiful rainbow, as well as the sense of freedom on the deck. If I had more time in my schedule, I would have liked to try again since I received a re-boarding ticket.

いかんせん、動物相手ですから100%の確率は望めないのはわかっていましたが、遭遇成らずガッカリ。
強風や雨にも負けず、デッキで粘ったのですが。
ただ、どこまでも続く水平線と綺麗な虹、デッキでの開放感は満喫できました。
日程に余裕があれば、最乗船チケットをもらったので再チャレンジしたかったです。

I had previously taken a cruise on Kauai, but at that time, I could only see a glimpse of the whales in the distance. Compared to that, I was satisfied to see some spouting and a bit of the tail up close this time. However, my companion, who was on their first cruise, seemed disappointed because they expected to see the whales jumping high enough to see their upper bodies.

以前、カウアイ島でクルーズを利用したことがあったのですが、その際は遠くのほうに少し見えただけでした。それに比べると、船の近くで潮吹きや尾びれが少し見えたので、満足しましたが、同行の初めてクルーズを利用した人はクジラが上半身見えるくらいジャンプするところを見えると思ったらしく、残念がっていました。

About seven years ago, I participated in a sandbar tour. It was in September. I joined with my kindergarten son, and it became a wonderful memory...

This time, during my year-end and New Year trip, I went to Hawaii for the first time in seven years and participated in the sandbar tour again, but at this time of year, it was rainy, windy, and too cold in the water! For snorkeling, it was so cold that my kindergarten daughter couldn't even get in the water.

The adults were doing their best to get in, but if the weather could be predicted better, it might have been a more enjoyable tour! The staff were very kind, talking to everyone and sharing various stories, which made the tour time enjoyable, but it was still too cold for me.

7年ほど前にサンドバーツアーに参加した事があります。しかし時期は9月でした。幼稚園の息子と参加して、良い思い出になりました…
で、今回年末年始の旅行で7年ぶりにHawaiiに行き、良い思い出のサンドバーツアーに参加しましたが、この時期、雨、風、海の中、寒すぎ！シュノーケリングなんて、寒くて海に入る事自体、幼稚園の娘なんて無理でした。
大人の方達は、頑張って入ってましたけど、天候をよく予測出来れば、楽しいツアーになるのかもしれませんね！
スタッフの方達は、すごく優しく、みんなに声をかけて色々お話もしていただき、ツアーの時間を楽しませていただきましたが、ヤッパリ私には寒かったです。

Epic is the word that comes to mind. We had the best time. It was more than we had anticipated. We have lived here for 11 years and this was our first time sailing with the Star Of Honolulu. The 5 Star dinner cruise with Live Jazz made our 14th anniversary that much more special. From the warm reception, meeting and greeting the Captain, the Ono pupu’s to the amazing 7 course meal and top notched entertainment we felt like royalty. You can’t beat the amazing sunset and whale sightings either. If you are looking to celebrate or just relax and take in the sights the Star Of Honolulu is definitely the thing to do.
We had a great and memorable time from start to finish. Mahalo Star Of Honolulu .

My husband and I had a spectacular time on this 5 star dinner cruise. We've lived here for 11 years and this was our first time experiencing the elegance and absolute superb 5 star dinning experience the Star of Honolulu offers. From start to finish everything was spectacular. We were treated like VIP's. We were greeted and warmly escorted to the boat where we partook of some extremely delectable pupu's while being serenaded by a Polynesian dancer and ukulele player. We were also introduced to the Captain of the ship and was afforded a photo op with him. As the evening progressed the boat set sail and the 7 course meal did not disappoint. We ate until our belly's were super tight. Did I mention the majestic sunset we watched from our window seats? Simply amazing! We also enjoyed the top shelf drinks that were apart of the menu. But not to worry if you are not an alcohol drinker there are many non-alcohol drinks to choose from.
This dinner cruise truly exceeded our expectations and we would wholeheartedly recommend the 5 star experience especially for that very special occasion. Its the perfect way to celebrate. It's kid friendly too. Mahalo Star of Honolulu for a very memorable anniversary! #14yrs

When paying for the locker rental, please note that JCB cards cannot be used. There weren't many people, so I was able to experience all the attractions and enjoyed going on my favorites two or three times. Staff do not provide any instructions on how to ride the attractions, so I recommend checking the bulletin board properly before getting on. There are many thrilling drop attractions, so it's full of excitement! However, you need to have the stamina to carry a float up the stairs. It's a bit pricey, but it includes transportation, and I thought I would like to go again next time. Sunscreen is a must! I brought a beach towel from the hotel, so I didn't have any particular issues.

ロッカー代の支払時、JCBカードは使えないので注意が必要です。人が多いことはなく全てのアトラクションを体験でき、気に入ったものは2、3回行けたので楽しめました。アトラクションの乗り方の説明などはスタッフから一切指示されないので、アトラクション前に掲示板でちゃんと確認してからを乗ることをオススメします。 急降下のアトラクションがたくさんあるので、スリル満点！！でも、浮き輪を持って階段を登っていかないといけないので体力も必要。少し高いですが送迎付きですし、次回も行きたと思いました。 日焼け止めは必須！！タオルもホテルのビーチタオルを持って行ったので特に困ることはなかったです。

This cruise was a nice boat ride. All employees were friendly, welcoming and pleasant. The shuttle ride to the boat was on time and information shared by employees was clear. The buffet dinner was average. It seemed to take a while for serving dishes to be refilled and there was a shortage of utensils. The cruising of the boat was lovely, ample time to observe the sunset, fireworks. The major negative would be only two restrooms available for everyone. The live music was well done and very enjoyable.

Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!
