This was my third trip to Hawaii, and for the first time, I participated in a solo trip. The large bus arrived right on time at the Sheraton hotel 🚌. This time, the tour was made up entirely of international guests.

When we boarded the Star of Honolulu, the captain welcomed us. There was a photo opportunity with the crew as we entered the ship. Later, the crew developed the photos and offered them for sale. I think it was around $26. Many people chose not to buy them, but I purchased one as a keepsake. By the way, they only accept credit cards.

Once on board, I quickly enjoyed some drinks and light snacks. There was a booklet with explanations about whales in Japanese, which I skimmed through, followed by an explanation from the captain about the whales. As the ship set sail, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was absolutely wonderful.

After a while, the captain announced over the intercom, "There are whales at the direction of ◯ o'clock (in English)," and everyone hurriedly pointed their cameras to look. Fortunately, we encountered a mother and calf whale. It was a bit disappointing that we only saw them spouting water and didn’t get to see any larger movements, but just being able to encounter them was great. I made sure to capture it on video.

We were blessed with beautiful weather, making it the best cruising experience!

ハワイ渡航歴3回目にして、初めてひとり旅で参加。シェラトンのホテルまで大型バスが時間きっちり到着🚌
今回は海外の方ばかりのツアーでした。
スターオブホノルル号乗船の時に船長が出迎え。
船内に入る際にクルーから記念撮影があります。
後でクルーが現像してくれて販売してくれます。たしか26$だったかな。
買わない人が多かったですが、私は記念に購入。
ちなみにクレジットカードのみです。

船内に入って早速飲み物と軽食をいただきました。日本語のクジラの説明などが書いた冊子がありさらっと読んだ後、船長からクジラに関する説明。
船が出航し、海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもよかったです。

しばらくすると、船長が船内放送で「◯時の方向にクジラがいます(英語)」と放送されるとみんな慌ててカメラを向けて探します。
運良く親子のクジラに遭遇できました。
今回は潮吹きだけで、大きい仕草を見れなかったのは残念でしたが、遭遇できただけでもよかったです。
しっかり動画に収めました。

お天気にも恵まれ最高のクルージングになりました。

Cirque du Soleil Hawaii put on a masterful show of graceful acrobatics and other tricks accompanied by beautiful island music. Well done.

There were thrilling action-packed shows and entertaining performances that made me laugh, and I had an amazing time.

手に汗握るアクション的なショーもあり、笑ってしまうようなエンターテイメントもあって、最高な時を過ごせました。

We booked the Captain Bobs experience and it was 10/10. We played volleyball, went snorkeling and had a BBQ lunch. The crew was super sweet and professional!!!

Although it was a small space, I was captivated by the dynamic performances and composition, losing track of time while enjoying it. I'm looking forward to the next performance in Japan!

こじんまりした空間ながら躍動感ある演技と構成に魅了され時間を忘れて楽しめました。次回日本での公演楽しみにしています！

We didn’t see much through the glass bottom areas but were able to see lots of fish and even turtles swimming next to the boat! My daughter was too young to snorkel and this was the perfect option for us.

I was anxious about whether we would be able to see anything, but the captain explained everything in detail, and we were all moved to be able to go see it together. The banana coconut cake was delicious, and the kids were satisfied after eating it and seeing the whales. I thought it might be expensive, but we were satisfied with the boat, the cake, and the coffee, and we made wonderful memories in Hawaii.

見れるかわからないと不安だったけど、キャプテンが、細かく教えてくれて、みんなで見に行けて感動した。
バナナココナッツケーキが美味しくて、子供達は食べてクジラも見れて満足していた。高いかなと思ったけど、船もケーキとコーヒーも満足でハワイのいい思い出ができた

I encountered a rock and hula show during a peaceful Hawaiian sunset. The passionate melodies of the guitar and the powerful beats of the drums awakened a deep passion within me, creating a moment where the entire audience felt like one, experiencing a miraculous dream. Wrapped in the magic of music, it became the best experience that never got boring, and that moment became a lifelong treasure.

I felt a refreshing fusion of hula dance and rock.

At the buffet before the show, exquisite dishes made from local ingredients were lined up, creating a flavorful experience.

After the show, the expressions of the audience soaking in the afterglow were filled with satisfaction and happiness, making it the best experience etched in my heart.

It's one of the activities I want to participate in again when I come back to Hawaii!

ハワイの穏やかな夕暮れで、ロックアフラのショーに出会いました。ギターの熱い旋律とドラムの力強いビートが、心の奥底に眠る情熱を呼び覚まして、観客全員が一体となる瞬間に、夢のような奇跡を感じました。音楽の魔法に包まれ、飽きのこない最高の体験となり、その瞬間が一生の宝物となりました。
フラダンスとロックの融合を感じることが出来、とても新鮮さを感じました。
ショーの前のビュッフェでは、地元の食材を生かした絶品料理が次々と並び、味わい深い一時を演出していました。
ショーが終わった後、余韻に浸る観客の表情は満足感と幸福で溢れており、心に刻まれる最高の体験になりました。
またハワイに来た際には、参加したいアクティビティの1つです！

It was an emotional experience.
The seat was in the middle of the fourth row on the right side from the stage. I think it was just the right distance from the stage, not too close and not too far.
Every performance was wonderful, and there were also productions happening in the aisles, so I enjoyed it very much even though I wasn't sitting directly in front. In fact, if you sit directly in front, you might not be able to see the productions in the back aisle very well?

感動的な体験でした。
席は舞台から見て右側の4列目の真ん中です。近すぎず、遠すぎず、舞台に丁度いい距離感だと思います。
どの演出も素晴らしくて、舞台だけではなくて、通路にも演出を行なってたので、真正面の席じゃなくてもとても楽しめました。むしろ、真正面ですと、後ろの通路の演出あまり見れないかもしれません？

The participation day was very few, and it was almost like a private charter. The weather was nice, and the sea was so clear that I could see the bottom. I could even see fish resting on the seabed! There were also a few turtles swimming, which was amazing!

The boat has a restroom, but I didn't use it, so I can't say if it's clean. However, I saw a few others using it. You can buy drinks on board (soft drinks and alcohol), and they also mentioned that snacks are available for free. I tried the recommended snacks, and they were truly free.

After the experience, there aren't many places to change out of your swimsuit, but the restroom on the first floor of the hotel where the reception is located was not locked, so I could change there. No one seemed to get seasick during the sailing. Depending on the time, you might see dolphins jumping in the distance, and in February and March, you can also see whales. On the day of the experience, I spotted dolphins and whales a bit far away while sailing!

参加日はとても少なくほぼ貸し切り状態でした。天気ぐ良く海も底が見えるまで透き通っていました。海底で休んでいる魚も見えました！亀も数匹泳いでおり最高でした！
船にはお手洗いもありますが使用していないので綺麗かは分かりません…。他の方は何人か使用されていました。後払いですが飲み物も船上で買えます。(ソフトドリンクやお酒など)またスナック菓子を無料で食べてねと言われます。おすすめを食べましたが本当に無料でした。
体験後、水着を着替えるところはあまりありませんが受付のあるホテルの一階のお手洗いはロックがかかっておらず使用できたのでそこで着替えることも出来ます。セーリングで酔っている方も居ませんでした。時間によってはイルカが跳ねているところが遠くに見えたり、2~3月はクジラも見れたりします。体験日はセーリング中にイルカやクジラが少し遠くに見えました！

It was soo fun the crew members where so nice and kind to everyone and at the end they told us where some things were made in the island that was cool.

The large ship was stable with little rocking, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The pineapple banana bread at breakfast was very delicious.

We were able to see whales swimming several times, and the scenery was wonderful.

The ship's staff were very kind, and although it was a two-hour cruise, we were able to spend it comfortably.

It was a spacious ship, and those in wheelchairs were able to board without any issues, and there were also many families with small children.

大きな船で揺れも少なく、安心して楽しむことができました。
朝食のパイナップルバナナブレッドがとてもおいしかったです。

クジラが泳いでいるのが何度か見れて、景色も素晴らしかったです。

船のスタッフさんたちはとても親切で、2時間ほどのクルーズでしたが、快適に過ごすことができました。

ゆったりした船で、車いすの方もそのままで乗船できていましたし、小さなお子様連れの方もたくさんいました。

The reception started at 8:00, boarding was from 8:45, and the schedule for departure was set, but the reception was quite relaxed, so arriving around 8:30 is safe. Just showing the reservation confirmation email was enough.

The cabin was quite spacious. Seats near the windows are popular, so if you prefer a window seat, it's best to line up early for boarding. The pineapple banana bread that came with the service was really delicious, and I had a second helping. Coffee, tea, and water were also available for free.

As for the whales, I was able to see them more times than I expected! However, they appeared small and far away (due to a Hawaiian treaty that prohibits getting too close to marine life. It's okay if the whales come close to you, and if you're lucky, you might see them up close). So, it's important to listen carefully to the captain's announcements like "You can see a whale in the direction of 〇〇 o'clock."

The captain also announced when sea turtles were swimming by, but I couldn't spot them.

The ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was able to make good use of the morning time, which was very nice.

8:00受付開始、8:45〜乗船、出航のスケジュールでしたが、受付はかなりゆるいので、8:30くらいに間に合うように行けば安心です。予約完了メールを見せるだけでOKでした。

客室内はかなり広いです。窓付近の席は人気なので、窓側がいい方は早めに並んで乗船した方が◎。サービスでついてくるパイナップルバナナブレッドがかなりおいしく、おかわりしました。コーヒー、紅茶、お水もフリーで飲むことができました。

肝心のホエールですが、思っていたより何度か見れました！ただ、船から遠いところで小さめに見えた（ハワイの条約で海の生物に近寄ってはいけないそうです。クジラなどから近寄ってくれるのはOKで、運が良ければすごく近くでみれるかも？）ので、「◯時の方向にクジラが見えます」など、キャプテンのアナウンスをしっかり聞いて見る必要があります。

ウミガメも泳いでいると度々キャプテンがアナウンスしていましたが、私はどこにいるか確認できず見れませんでした。

海がとにかく綺麗でした。朝の時間が有効活用できたのでとてもよかったです。

A new night experience in Hawaii!
I finally got to see the Cirque du Soleil's "O" show (*´艸｀*)
It was absolutely amazing!!
If you print out the special voucher from Japan, it has a QR code that the staff scans, making the process smooth☆
(On the day of the show, there were staff members who spoke Japanese! The drink cups sold at the counter near the entrance that were recommended to me looked cool! There were also soft drinks available☆)
The content was packed and truly wonderful!
Next time I come to Hawaii with my friends, I want to take everyone with me (･ω･)b

新しいハワイでの夜のお楽しみ！
行ってみたかったシルク・ド・ソレイユのアウアナショー(*´艸｀*)
最高に良かったです！！
専用のバウチャーを日本からプリントアウトしていけばそこにQRコードが付いており、それをスタッフの方が読み込んでくれるのでスムーズでした☆
（当日は日本語を話せるスタッフの方もいらっしゃいました！おすすめしていただいた入り口付近のカウンターで売っているドリンクのカップ、カッコよかったです！ソフトドリンクもありました☆）
内容も盛りだくさんで本当素晴らしかったです！
また次回仲間とハワイへ来る際は皆を連れて行きたいなと思いました(･ω･)b

We applied as a family of six. My grandparents had some concerns about their legs, but we were able to observe the whales beautifully from the third floor of the four-story building!

家族6人で申し込みました。
祖父母は足に不安がありましたが、4階建ての3階でも十分綺麗に鯨を観察することができました！

This outing was not what I expected. Given the description of "turtle canyon" I assumed we were going to some rather exotic location to swim and snorkel with the sea turtles. As it turns out, its just about a mile off of Waikiki Beach and it was full of boats with other snorkelers making it quite a crowded experience. Although we did see two turtles (or maybe the same turtle twice), it certainly wasn't the grand adventure it was made out to be. The water was quite murky and the coral was anything but pretty. And on top of all that, we could have booked directly with the tour company for 25% less. That was disappointing.

I will say the crew was very pleasant and the sail after was good.

When I went up to the rooftop, there was a slight sway, but I didn't feel nauseous at all! There were quite a few whales out, and it was amazing! I definitely want to go see them again!

屋上まで行くと少し揺れがありましたが、特に酔いなどはありませんでした!
クジラも結構多く出てきてくれて、最高でした！
ぜひまた見に行きたいです！

I saw whales!
The weather was great, it was the best!!
I was worried I might get seasick, but I was fine.

I definitely want to go see them again!

ホエール見れた〜
天候にも恵まれ、最高でした！！
船酔いするかもと心配したけど、大丈夫でしたー

また、是非見に行きたいです

It's very enjoyable to interact with the animals. It was my first time at an outdoor aquarium, but it's quite small, and you can finish walking through it in just 15 minutes. I'm surprised given the price.

動物達と触れ合えるのはとても楽しいです、
室外の水族館は初めてでした、
ただ、とても小規模で15分も歩けば終わってしまいます。
値段の割にびっくりです

In conclusion, it was amazing.
This is a show that I absolutely want everyone to attend.
I have traveled to Hawaii many times and participated in various activities, but this became the best memory of all.
With laughter, emotion, and surprises on stage, I brought my 2-year-old child, and they enjoyed it and were able to focus on watching.

There is also a bar where you can purchase popcorn, drinks, and alcohol, so being able to enjoy light snacks while watching the show was great too!

結論、最高でした。
皆さんに絶対参加していただきたいショーです。
ハワイ旅行は何度もいっており、いろいろなアクティビティにも参加してきましたが、どのアクティビティよりもいい思い出になりました。
笑いあり、感動あり、驚きありのステージで、2歳の子どもを連れて行きましたが、とても楽しんで集中して観覧できていました。

ポップコーンやドリンク、お酒の購入ができるバーもあるので、軽いスナックを楽しみながらショーを見ることができるのも良かったです◎

I participated with my children. When we boarded the boat, they gave the kids a realistic whale coloring book, which kept them entertained until we arrived at the point (colored pencils were provided). As for the whale watching, we were able to see whales multiple times, and it was an exciting experience for the kids.

子連れで参加しました。船に乗ると子供にリアルなクジラの塗り絵をプレゼントしてくれてポイントまで飽きずに到着（色鉛筆は貸し出し）。そして、肝心のホエールウォッチは何度も何度も鯨を見ることができて子供達も大興奮の体験でした。

We met the bus at 5 AM and we’re first on the walking hike! Got to the top with plenty of time and unbelievable photos to share.

The Angel Sea was very beautiful. Thanks to the thorough explanation and practice time for snorkeling, I was able to swim to my heart's content during the actual event. Fortunately, a sea turtle that had been resting in a coral cave came out, and I was able to swim with it.

天使の海とても綺麗でした
シュノーケルの丁寧な説明や練習時間のおかげで本番思う存分泳げました
ラッキーなことに珊瑚の洞穴で寝ていた海亀が出てきてくれて一緒に泳ぐこともできました

I had given up on making a reservation through the official booking site, but then I found this tour and signed up. Since I didn't have a rental car, it was really helpful that they provided transportation to the hotel. The rental equipment was properly arranged, and the driver was a fun person, which was great.

公式予約サイトで予約が取れなかったので諦めていたところ、こちらのツアーを見つけて申し込みました。
レンタカーしていなかったので、ホテルに送迎してもらえて本当に助かりました。
レンタル道具もキチンとあり、ドライバーさんも楽しい方で良かったです。

It was a fun experience! The food was great, desserts are even phenomenal. My favorite was the salad and the roasted pork. The pineapple is so sweet! I enjoyed the Haupia. It reminds me of the version we have back in my home country. The only thing off with the entire experience was I felt we were left out and not asked how we are doing because we were a group of 2. One experience also was when we were going to the theatre for the show. We were following a group to tourist and the lady who was holding the cord closed it when the last tourist came in and followed them. Leaving us wondering where to go. If we are not allowed to go there. I get it they might have paid more for the vip experience but we were left there wondering where to go next. I admit I felt some type of way being left out again. The young girl who took pictures earlier told us where to go. Even after that we have to figure out the way to the mezzanine. I still gave 5 stars because I get it, people paid for vip services but sure hope that they paid attention as well to people who are in a budget. You know being the aloha spirit and all. Overall fun experience!

First, before departure, we enjoyed drinks and delicious cake, followed by an explanation from the captain, and soon after, we set sail. As soon as we departed, I went up to the deck and was greeted by the stunning views of Waikiki that are usually not visible. With explanations from the captain in Japanese, we were able to see whales about five times from various angles: the front of the boat, the port side, and the starboard side. It was a quick two hours that flew by.

まず、出航前にドリンクと美味しいケーキ、そして船長からの説明があり、程なくすると出航です。
出航してからすぐにデッキにあがり、普段見ることができないワイキキの景色が目に入ります。船長からの説明および日本語で説明を受け、船の前方、左舷、右舷様々な角度からクジラを５回ほどみることができました。
アッとゆう間の２時間でした。

The wind felt nice, and the sea was incredibly beautiful, but the main dolphin watching only allowed us to see them small and far away. The canoe group from another tour got much closer to them. I was really looking forward to it, so it was a bit disappointing. The time spent watching dolphins was short, and most of the time was spent snorkeling, but since we were swimming in deep water, there were hardly any fish, so it felt like there was no need to go on the tour just to swim.

The staff were very cheerful and wonderful, and the final "Harasho" was fun. However, I ordered some products from a Japanese staff member on the bus, but when I realized I hadn’t received them after getting on the boat, I informed them. They told me to wait a bit because it was shooting time, and when it seemed like they weren't in a hurry to get it, they later asked how I would like to pay. I was like, "Well, I already bought it..." The impression I got was that the Japanese staff were kind to those who ordered commemorative photos, but not so much otherwise.

風は気持ち良かったし、海ももっても綺麗でしたが、メインのイルカウォッチングは遠くに小さく見えるだけ、別のツアーのカヌーの方達はとっても近くまで行っていました。
楽しみにして行ったので、少し残念でした。
イルカを見る時間も短く、ほとんどの時間がシュノーケリングでしたが、深いところで泳ぐので、魚もほとんどいなくて、わざわざツアーで泳ぐ必要はなかったなといった感じでした。

スタッフの皆さんはとっても明るくて素敵で、最後のハラショーも楽しかったです。
ただ、バスで日本人スタッフの方に商品を注文したのですが、船にのってから受け取るはずがもらっていないことに途中で気づいて伝えると、撮影時間だということもありちょっと待ってくださいといわれ、急いで撮りに行く気配がないとおもったら、ひと段落ついてからお支払いはどうしますか？と、
いやもう買ってますけど、、となりました。
日本人スタッフの方は、記念撮影を注文した方には親切だけど、、という印象でした

We went as a family.
The clear sea, I couldn't believe we could see sea turtles! It was moving!
Since the family was there, the kids especially enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding!

家族で行きました。
透明な海、まさか、ウミガメが見れるとは！感動しました！
家族来ていたので、子供達は、特にシュノーケリングやSUPも楽しんでいました！

I went to Hawaii for the first time. The music and hula dancing instantly put me in the Hawaiian mood! I'm glad I included it on the first day of my trip! I highly recommend it!

初めてハワイに行きました。
音楽とフラダンスで、一気にハワイ気分になりました！旅行1日目に入れて良かったです！おすすめです！
