It's about an hour, but you can relax by drinking some beverages, eating snacks, and enjoying the sea breeze.

1時間程度の時間ですが、
ドリンクを飲んだり、スナックを食べたり
潮風を浴びたりとゆっくりすることができます

It took just under an hour from the pick-up to boarding, and we spent two hours on the boat. I think how many whales you can see depends on the timing, but since it was the season, I was a bit too hopeful and was a little disappointed to only see them a few times in the distance. Although it was in English, I enjoyed the fun facts about whales that were shared!

送迎から乗船まで1時間弱、船に乗っている時間2時間でした。クジラがどれくらい見られるかはそのときのタイミングによると思いますが、シーズンということもあり期待しすぎていたあまり、数回遠くに見える程度だったので少し残念に思ってしまいました。英語ではありましたが、クジラについての豆知識をお話ししてくれて楽しめました！

I boarded the Star of Honolulu and participated in a whale watch. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales that day. We gathered at 8:45, but we left the hotel early and took an Uber because my wife doesn't like getting seasick, so we chose the Star of Honolulu.

We were warmly welcomed by the crew and the captain as we boarded the ship. The crew provided us with drinks and banana cake, along with explanations about the enjoyment of whale watching and the ecology of whales before we set sail.

We each went to the third deck and the rooftop deck, ready for the whale watch. Squinting our eyes and listening to the announcements over the ship's intercom, we soaked up the sun while looking at the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, but the whales didn't appear for quite a while. After turning back, we ended up spending over two hours on board without seeing any whales this time. However, it was a fun time. On the way back, we received tickets to board again, and I'm looking forward to the next time!

スターオブホノルルに乗船してホエールウォッチ参加しました　残念ながら当日は見れませんでした。8:45集合でしたがホテルを早めに出てUberで　妻が船酔いが嫌なのでスターオブホノルルにしました
クルーや船長の暖かい出迎えで船内に　
クルーからの説明でドリンクとバナナケーキを。ホエールウォッチの楽しみやホエールの生態などの説明があり出航　
3階デッキや屋上デッキに各々行きいざホエールウォッチ　眼を細めて　また艦内放送からのお知らせを聞きながら日光にあたりワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドをみながら、なかなか現れないホエール　折り返してから結局２時間あまりの乗船で今回は見れませんでした。でも楽しいひと時でした。帰りにまた乗船出来るチケットをもらい次回を楽しみにしてます

Thank you, Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe. I entrusted you with the local options, and thanks to you, I was able to see whales, which was wonderful. I look forward to working with you again if the opportunity arises.

ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸田村さん　ありがとうございました　現地のオプションもおまかせとの事で依頼しました。おかげさまでクジラも見れてよかったです。また機会があればよろしくお願いします

The day before, there was a heavy rain warning and the weather was bad, but on the day itself, it was sunny with gentle winds, making it perfect for whale watching. As we went up to the deck and waited, we received a message from the captain! Looking in that direction, we saw a cute tail 😍😍😍—there was a baby whale! After a while, many boats gathered, and everyone started watching! I wanted to take photos, but they quickly went underwater, so I hope you can burn the memory into your mind. You could see the whale's spout even from a distance, and it moved in that direction. Although it was a short time, we were able to see a lot. Also, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat was amazing! I want to go again.

前日は大雨警報が天気が悪かったのですが、当日は晴れて風も穏やかで、絶好の鯨ウォッチング日和でした。デッキに上がって待っていると船長からのメッセージ！そちらの方向を見ていると可愛い尻尾が😍😍😍ベビー鯨がいました。しばらくするとたくさんの船が集まってきてみんなでウォッチング！写真！をと思っているとすぐに水中に入ってしまうので是非目に焼き付けて欲しいです。🐳の潮吹きが遠目でもよく見えてそちらの方向へ移動してくださいます。短い時間でしたがたくさん見る事ができました。また、船からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高！また行きたいです。

We saw whales several times and were able to see them in various forms. Thank you for the precious experience. Also, the bread and Kona coffee included in the tour were delicious, and we had a great time.

数回くじらが出現しており、いろいろな姿が見れました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました。
また、ツアーに付属しているパン、コナコーヒーも美味しくいい時間を過ごせました。

I was able to make a reservation at a great deal using points. In expensive Hawaii, it didn't feel too pricey since it included tips. The day before, I had an à la carte meal at a different restaurant that cost $100, so I really think this was a great deal.

ポイントを使ってお得に予約できました。なんでも高いハワイでは、チップ込みなので高くは感じませんでした。前日違うお店でアラカルトで食事しましたが、100ドルでしたので、ホントにお得だと思います。

I participated in whale watching for the first time. Searching for whales while enjoying the beautiful sea from a stable, clean boat was quite interesting. I was able to see the tails of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles, and I was particularly happy to see two whale tails side by side. The staff mentioned that during whale watching, it's more about catching a glimpse of the whale's back when it jumps rather than seeing the entire whale, which I had assumed would be the case. I thought the operating company was very sincere and a wonderful organization.

ホエールウォッチングにはじめて参加してみました。
揺れの少ない綺麗なボートで、綺麗な海を眺めながらのクジラ探しはなかなか面白かったです。
見れたのはクジラの尾ひれ、イルカ、海亀で、クジラの尾ひれが二頭並んで見れたのが嬉しかったです。
ホエールウォッチングは、クジラ全体が見えると言うよりは、運が良ければジャンプしたときにクジラの背などが見えるという感じだとスタッフの方が言っていました（クジラ全体が見えると思い込んでいました。
運営会社はとても誠実で素晴らしい会社だと思いました。

All of our kids loved it here, they had smiles on their faces all days thanks to the PCC staff!

Luau was awesome, and the shuttle to the luau is so convenient!

Lots to see and taste, really good evening of Hawaiian culture!

Our favorite way to end of trip in Hawaii is at Mauka Luau, I love the new location!

The day is a very busy one, be prepared for a lot of activities, it is almost hard to hit everything in a day but the ticket does allow you to come back for the day touring!

Really wonderful to upgrade to this awesome dinner schedule

Not only do you get a great show you get a great laugh throughout - perfect balance!

The dancers and team are so talented, what an amazing show they pull off!

My kids loved all the pre-show fun they have included, and the food was actually pretty stinking good!

Sunset views from the deck were absolutely stunning, and the buffet had a great variety of delish foods!

Overall a fun night out with great food, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable show.

I had a great time; I just wish the weather had been better. It's a shame I didn't get to see any dolphins or whales. I will participate again if I have the chance.

大変楽しかった、ただ天気が良ければ尚良かったと思った。イルカ、クジラは見れず残念。また機会があれば参加します。

Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff

Wonderful. It was really great. That's all I can say.

Seeing it up close made a huge difference in the impact. I really hope you get to experience this feeling.

素晴らしい。ほんとに良かったです。その一言です。
間近で見れたので迫力が違いました。この感動を是非体験してほしいと思います。

The theater is more compact than those in Las Vegas, and the distance to the performers is very close. As a result, I had a powerful and moving experience.

ラスベガスの劇場よりも劇場がコンパクトで演者との距離が非常に近いです
そのため大迫力で感動的な体験ができました

I was thrilled to see a pod of dolphins that I thought I wouldn't be able to see! My husband and child had a great time sailing, but unfortunately, I forgot to take my motion sickness medication and ended up feeling seasick. Up until that point, everything was wonderful!

見れないと思ってたいたイルカの群れが見れて最高でした！
夫と子供は気持ちよくいいセーリングでしたが、妻は酔い止めの服用を忘れてしまい船酔いしてしまったのが残念でしたが、それまではよかったです！

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but the view from off the coast of Waikiki was amazing. On the way back to the harbor, a pod of dolphins approached the boat and entertained us. If you're traveling during that season, they give you a ticket to board again, so I think it's a good idea to make a reservation for an early travel date.

残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたがワイキキ沖から眺める景色は最高です。帰港途中にドルフィンの群れが船に近づいて楽しませてくれました。
そのシーズン中ならもう一度乗船出来るチケットをくれるので渡航日程の早い日に予約されると良いと思います。

I have visited Kualoa Ranch many times, and I usually only did horseback riding, but due to the weak yen, I made a reservation for this experience this time. I was surprised to find such a place within Kualoa Ranch. However, the lunch was not good, and wild birds came to the dining area, making it very difficult to eat slowly. I wonder if it was hygienic? As for the afternoon cruise, it was very refreshing, but it was different from what I had expected, and I felt scared due to the strong winds. The explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content at all.

クアロアランチには何度も来ていて、いつもは乗馬だけでしたが、円安の状況で今回の内容で予約をしました。クアロアランチ内にあんな場所かあったとは驚きでした。ただランチの内容は良くなかったし、食事の場所に野鳥が来てとてもゆっくり食べれませんでした。衛生的にも良くないかと？午後からのクルーズですが、思っていたクルーズとは違いとても新鮮でしたが、強風にあおられて恐怖を感じました。英語でのでの説明でしたので内容も全く分かりませんでした。

I signed up for this thinking it would be enjoyable with a baby. Since it’s a large boat, the swaying is less intense, strollers are allowed, and light snacks are included, I chose this whale watching tour among many options.

I opted out of the shuttle service, so I took a taxi from the hotel to the location. It took about 20 minutes to arrive from the center of Waikiki. The rush hour traffic wasn't too bad, so we arrived smoothly.

The passengers were mostly from Europe and America, and everyone was cheerful. There were many families with babies and children, and they even set up a coloring corner for kids, which was a great way to keep them entertained.

The boat swayed more than I expected, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication just in case. We were able to see whales a few times from a distance, which was very satisfying. My child was also delighted.

Additionally, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making it a great experience in terms of enjoying the scenery from the water.

ベビー連れで楽しめるコンテンツと思い、申し込みました。
大型船なので揺れがマシ、ベビーカーOK、軽食付きということで数多あるホエールウォッチングツアーの中からこちらをセレクト。
送迎無しにしたので、現地まではホテルに頼んでタクシーで移動。ワイキキ中心部から20分ほどで到着。通勤ラッシュもさほどひどくなかったのでスムーズに到着できました。

乗船客は欧米人が多い印象で、皆さん陽気でした。ベビー連れや子連れも多く、子供向けに色塗りコーナーなども作ってくれていて、飽きない工夫満載です。

船は想像以上に揺れたので、念の為酔い止めを飲んでいて正解でした。
クジラは遠目からですが何度か見ることができ、大満足です。
子どもも喜んでいました。

また、海から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗で、海からの眺めを楽しむという意味でもいい経験になりました。

The entertainment was top-notch and the food was delicious. I loved the different portions of entertainment that were designed around the various cultures that came together through history to make Hawaii what it is today. It was exactly the kind of experience and education I was hoping for.

Our tour bus did get stuck in some traffic and was slower due to picking up guests from multiple locations, and while I felt like that luau did their best to hold off on the main event (dinner and show) until we arrived (which I greatly appreciated), we did miss out on getting the full experience listed on the events description (i.e. "Interact up close and personal with your Pacific Island hosts with Hawaiian crafts, hula lessons, coconut husking, fire making, weaving, tattooing, and more. ") So if those activities are important to you, you might want to consider booking private transportation to the luau instead of taking the group shuttle option to make sure you arrive in plenty of time to get the full experience.

The day of our participation had bad weather, but we set sail as usual. Since it was a large ship, there was no rocking, which was reassuring. For a while, we spent time in the first-floor cabin enjoying coffee and pineapple bread, but then there was an announcement in English about a whale sighting, so we hurried up to the upper deck. At first, we could only see a blow in the distance, but before we knew it, the whales were right next to the ship, appearing with a loud blow. Four of them swam slowly right in front of us, and I was lucky to capture many photos of the blows, backs, and tails with my smartphone. Although we didn't see any jumps, the whale watching experience was more thrilling than I had expected.

参加日は悪天候でしたが、普通に出航。大きな船なので揺れはなくそこは安心でした。しばらくは１階船室でコーヒーやパイナップルブレッドを食べて過ごしていましたが、英語でクジラ発見のアナウンスがあり、急いで上の階へ移動しました。初めは離れた海面にブローが見えるだけでしたが、気が付くと船のすぐ近くに来ていて大きなブローの音と共に姿を現しました。４頭がすぐ目の前を一緒にゆっくり泳いでいたので、ブロー、背中や尻尾をスマホでたくさん撮影出来てラッキーでした。ジャンプは見られませんでしたが、期待以上に迫力あるホエールウォッチングでした。

On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, of course, when you think of Hawaii, you think of hula dancing. The singer's vocal ability and the dancers' amazing performances were truly moving. Beyond the songs and performances, I was astonished by the quick costume changes and reappearances—this is what Hawaii is all about! After that, I saw an impersonation show featuring Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. While their appearances were remarkably similar, I was also impressed by both of their singing and dancing abilities. I definitely want to invite friends to join me the next time I visit Hawaii. Thank you!

ハワイに到着した初日の夜、やはりハワイと言えばフラダンス。そのシンガーの歌唱力、ダンサーの素晴らしい踊り！感動しました。これらの歌、演技もさることながら、次々と着替えて再登場する早技に驚き、これぞハワイ！を実感いたしました。そしてその後にそっくりショーとしてのエルヴィス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン見た目がそっくりと言う点も素晴らしいのですが、両者の歌唱力ダンス力、これにも感動しました。ぜひまたハワイへ訪れた際には友人を誘ってジョイントしたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。
