All Reviews for Star of Honolulu Cruise

Such a fun evening. Great food, drinks, entertainment, and service! Would highly recommend.

great experience, the weather was rough but it was still a great time.

I participated in this plan at my child's request. I was worried about the weather, but we were blessed with good conditions, enjoying the blue sea and a wonderful location. I was concerned about whether we would encounter whales, but many whales greeted us. The lunch was also satisfying, served buffet-style, and it was delicious. Additionally, the staff's activities on board provided a fun time. This became a memorable page of our enjoyable experience in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

子供の要望でこのプランに参加しました。天候が心配されましたが天気に恵まれ、青い海とすばらしいロケーションでした。鯨の歓迎に出会えるか心配でしたが、たくさんの鯨たちが出迎えの挨拶をしてくれました。昼食も、バイキング方式で満足のいくものでした。おいしかったです。また、船内でのスタッフの催しも楽しいひと時でした。ハワイでの楽しい想い出の一ページとなりました。ありがとうございました。

It was great! We felt that it exceeded all of our expectations. One of the best excursions we have done.

The pickup car had only us Japanese, and it seemed the driver couldn't speak Japanese, which made us a bit anxious. However, there was a crew member who spoke fluent Japanese and kindly explained the announcements in Japanese, as well as looked after our grandparents who were with us. The children were also treated very kindly. We were able to see whales multiple times and even witnessed them spouting water, which was wonderful.

お迎えの車は日本人は私たちだけでドライバーさんも日本語NGな様子で少し不安になりましたが、船員さんに日本語ペラペラな方がいてアナウンスの内容を日本語で教えてくれたり、一緒に行った祖父母を気づかってくれたり、子どもたちもとても可愛がってもらい親切にしていただきました。
クジラも何回も確認でき潮吹きも見れてもても良かったです。

I was half in doubt about whether I could really see whales, but I was able to see a mother and baby whale perfectly! The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, and the staff were cheerful and friendly, making conversation and being very kind. At the end, when I mentioned that my husband had forgotten his camera lens on the bus, they responded with great care and arranged to help us find it. I'm really glad I used this tour. My friend is traveling to Hawaii this summer, and I plan to recommend this tour as a reliable option. Thank you very much!

クジラ、本当に見ることが出来るのか、半信半疑でしたが、バッチリ親子クジラを見れました！そして、船は大きくて酔うこともなく、スタッフの方々は明るくて気さくに話しかけてきてくれて、とても親切でした。最後に行きのバスに主人がカメラのレンズを忘れてきてしまったのを伝えると親身に対応してくださり、ちゃんと手配して探してくださいました。このツアーを利用してよかったです。夏にお友達がハワイに旅行に行くのですが、ここのツアーは安心出来るとお勧めするつもりです。本当にありがとうございました。

There was supposed to be an explanation in Japanese, but it was only in English. The meal had seasonal fruits, but there was no tea. Overall, it was not good. I recommend the course without meals.

日本語の説明有りとあったが、英語のみだった。
食事は季節のフルーツ、紅茶もなかった。とりあえず、不味い。
食事なしコースがオススメ。

Went out on the whale watch tour today and we saw 4 whales - 2 large whales together at first and then a mother and calf. They popped up several times during the cruise and saw their tails in the air a few times. They also came quite close to the ship at times. Recommended to do a whale watching tour. Our naturalist onboard (Dez) was knowledgeable about whales and their migration patterns. There is some periods throughout the cruise where you just have to be patient for 10-15 minutes at a time until they pop back up or another whale is spotted but it's worth the wait. The tour felt a little short as I wanted to see more however it was probably the right amount of time. The whales even waved goodbye as we headed off.

I was able to see parts of the whale multiple times, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the whole body. However, I guess that's just up to the whale's mood. On the ship, I enjoyed hula lessons and making leis until we reached the shore!

くじらのパーツパーツは何回も見れたけれど、体全体がみれなかったのが少し残念。でも、こればかりはくじらの機嫌次第なのでしょうがいない。
船内では、フラレッスンやレイ作りを岸に着くまで楽しめました♪

It was early in the morning, but I'm glad I woke up early! Every time I come to Hawaii, I go whale watching, and I was very satisfied this time as well. I want to participate again next time!

朝早かったのですが、早起きしてよかったです！
ハワイに来るたびにくじらを見に行っていますが、今回もとても満足しました。
次回も参加したいです！

There were no Japanese staff, and I felt a bit of a sense of alienation or that I was falling behind because I couldn't catch some of the words. I'm relieved that I was able to see the whales. The boat might be a bit tough for those who are not strong.

日本語スタッフもいないしちょっと言葉が聞き取れずなにか疎外感というか遅れてる感がありました。クジラには会えてほっとしています。船は弱い人にはちょっと厳しいですかね。。

We alway do the star of Honolulu. Dinner is awesome. Lobster mmmm. Drinks. A little dancing at the end. With a great view

I wish can see more whales..Also I know,Breakfast.is cheap fee but hope change manufacturer items. No need sausages. Too greecy . Need more light manu.. pancake or some

My wife and I had a great time! The food was good and the staff were all extremely polite and enthusiastic. The show was a treat and the dancers were all very gracious and patient about taking pictures with the guests. The views from the boat of the city and Diamond Head alone were worth the money. We'll surely do it again on our next trip back.

We went on a cruise on a large ship from the morning. The scenery was absolutely amazing! The special feeling of being able to view the cityscape of Honolulu from the sea and the impressive sight of Diamond Head was fantastic. The ship was big, so I didn't get seasick at all. It had about three floors, and at first, everyone was seated, but once the ship started moving, we could move around freely. Everyone was out on the deck taking lots of photos.

The only disappointment was that we didn't see any whales... The captain and the crew were really persistent in searching with binoculars, but sometimes they just aren't around, even in winter. Since it's all about nature, there's nothing we can do. If you don't see any whales, you can apply for a free ticket to go on another cruise next time. I didn't take it due to my limited stay.

By the way, I opted for a plan that included breakfast, but it was just regular food. When asked if it was delicious... well, it was okay, I guess... However, since we had an early morning gathering, I decided to include it.

Anyway, I felt fully satisfied just thinking about going on a morning cruise!

大きな船に乗って朝からクルージング。とにかく景色が最高でした！海からホノルルの街並みを眺められる特別感、ダイアモンドヘッドを横切る迫力、とてもよかったです。船も大きいので、まず酔いません。３階くらいまであり、最初はみなさん席についていますが、ある程度船が動き出してしまえば、自由に移動。みなさん甲板に出て写真バチバチでした。
残念だったのは、クジラが見られなかったこと・・・。船長さん？や、船員さん達も双眼鏡でかなり粘ってさがしてくれましたが・・・。冬でも見られない時があるのですね。自然が相手のお話なので、しかたありません。見られなかった場合は、また次回クルージングできる無料券を申し込めば貰えます。私は滞在日数の関係上、もらいませんでした。
ちなみに朝食を付けたプランにしたのですが、まぁ普通のごはんです。おいしいか・・・と言われると、う～ん、そこまでか・・も・・・。ただ早朝の集合でしたので、つけました。
ともあれ、朝、クルージングに行ってきた！と思えば、充分満足です。

On the day of the trip, it was raining and the sea was rough. My younger child quickly got seasick and slept inside the boat the whole time. However, quite a few other people also got seasick. During the two-hour trip, we only saw whales for about 10 minutes, but we were able to see them up close several times, which was nice. The best part was when my older child was looking at the sea from the deck on the opposite side of the boat and said they were happy to have seen dolphins.

I think it would have been fine without the meal. I felt that dining on the boat is not something I would want to do for a while.

当日は雨で海は荒れていました。下の子はすぐに船酔いになりずっと船内で寝ていました。ただ、他の人達も結構の数の人が船酔いになっていました。2時間のうちでクジラを見れたのは10分程度でしたが、近くで何回も見れたのでよかったです。一番よかったのは、上の子がクジラと反対側のデッキで海を眺めていたらイルカを見れたと言って喜んでいたことです。
なお食事は無くてもよかったと思うレベルです。船上での食事は当分いいと思いました。

During my three-night stay, the weather was unstable, but on the morning of January 31, it was sunny, and I was able to see mother and baby whales jumping relatively close by. The staff member, who was a white person fluent in Japanese, provided a detailed explanation, and the atmosphere was very friendly, making it an enjoyable experience.

今回3泊で天気が不安定でしたが、1月31日午前中は晴れた天気で
親子鯨のジャンプを比較的近くで見ることができました。
日本語の上手な、白人のスタッフさんも丁寧に解説してくれて
とてもフレンドリーな雰囲気で楽しめました。

There were no issues despite the last-minute booking.

It was great that everyone enjoyed whale watching together. The cruising on the large boat was surprisingly pleasant.

直前申し込みでしたが問題ありませんでした。

ホエールウォッチングみんなで楽しめてよかったです。
大きな船でのクルージング思いのほか気持ちよかったです。

I participated on January 24th. While moving to the point where we could see whales, we enjoyed a buffet-style meal. I wasn't expecting much, but it was delicious.

When we arrived at the point, we were able to receive explanations in English about the ecology of whales, and they pointed out the direction where we could see them. Although it was a bit far, I was thrilled to see them spouting water and their tails.

1/24に参加しました。クジラの見えるポイントに移動しながら、ビュッフェ形式の食事を頂きました。期待していませんでしたが、おいしかったです。

ポイントに着くと英語でクジラの生態の事など説明して頂く事もでき、クジラが見える方向を教えて頂けました。
少し遠かったですが、潮を吹いている様子やしっぽも見えて感激しました。

This is about luck. I think it would be wonderful to see a jump, but it seems that due to regulations, you can't get too close to the whales, so it might be quite difficult to get the full picture. Since there are many passengers on the large boat, I think the price is reasonable.

これは運です。ジャンプが見られれば素晴らしいと思いますが、法令であまりクジラの近くには行けないそうなので、全体像をつかむことは中々難しそうです。大きい船で乗客もたくさんいるので値段も相応かなと思います。

This time, I signed up for whale watching for the first time. I chose the daytime plan. The food was tastier than I had imagined. However, when I did dolphin watching in Guam, I was able to see them up close. It seems that due to the law, we can't get too close, but I only saw the whales' backs about four or five times, and I wish I could have seen them a bit closer.

今回、初めてホエールウォッチングを申し込みました。昼色のプランで申込みしました。食べ物は想像してたより美味しかったです。
ただ、グアムでイルカウォッチングをしたときは間近で見れたので、法律で近づいてはいけないみたいですが背中が見えたのが4・5回で、もう少し近くで見れたらよかったと思いました。

I participated with my friends.
There was a child who was weak on boats, but since it was a larger ship, they didn't suffer from severe seasickness.
We were able to see whales from a distance several times.
If you have binoculars, you might see them even better.
If you're lucky, you might see them jump, but this time we were able to see them swimming and diving.

On the way back, I enjoyed participating in hula dance lessons and lei making.
We all wore leis and took photos together.
It was fun.

友人たちと参加してきました。
船に弱い子も参加していましたが、大きめの船だったのでひどい船酔いはせずにすみました。
ホエールは遠目にですが何回も見ることが出来ました。
双眼鏡あるともっとよく見えるかもしれません。
運が良いと、ジャンプが見れたりするようですが、今回は泳いでいるところ、
もぐるところを見ることが出来ました。

帰りは、フラのダンスレッスンや、レイメイキングに参加して楽しかったです。
みんなでレイをつけて写真も取りました。
楽しかったです。

The whales didn't look as big as I had hoped, but since they are natural creatures, it can't be helped. More importantly, the breakfast buffet was disappointing with a limited selection. It might have been better to skip breakfast and eat on our own instead.

　期待していたほどクジラは大きく見えなかったけど、自然のものなので、仕方ないですね、それよりも、朝食バイキングは、品数少なく期待外れ、朝食なしで自分たちで食べてからのほうがいいかも？

I participated in the morning session, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the whales up close. I could only confirm that they were spouting water from a distance. However, I was happy that a pod of wild dolphins approached us before we headed out to sea. It was nice to enjoy a leisurely cruise, so I think it was overall good. Since I could only see them from afar, tickets for the next time were distributed only to those who wanted them, but I didn't take one as I had a full schedule on other days.

午前の部で参加しましたが、残念な事にくじらは近くでは見れませんでした。
ただ遠くで潮噴いているのだけ確認出来ました。
ただ沖に出るまでに野生のイルカの群れが近づいてくれて嬉しかったです。
のんびりクルージング出来たので、まあ良かったと思います。
遠くでしか見れなかったので、次回チケットを希望者のみ配布されましたが、私は他の日は
予定がいっぱいあったのでもらいませんでした。

I was hoping to see humpback whales jumping like in the pictures, but I learned that they don't jump during this time as they are preparing to give birth. Occasionally, I could see the whales' backs, but I was a bit disappointed as I had imagined something more whale-like.
After seeing the whales, we went cruising all the way to Waikiki. The scenery was beautiful, which was nice.

写真にあるようなザトウクジラのジャンプしているところを見れると思っていたのですが、この時期は出産前でジャンプはしないとのこと。時々、クジラの背中が見えるのですが、もっとクジラっぽいのを想像していただけに少し残念でした。
クジラを見た後はワイキキの先までクルージング。景色も良くてよかったです。

We participated in this optional tour during our first trip to Hawaii with my mother, two daughters, and husband. It was the girls' strong desire to join, but... we only saw the tail and back for a very short time. Even so, we were excited and shouted loudly, but I wondered if only very lucky people get to see the dynamic sight like in the photos. Moreover, the captain would say, "In the direction of ○○ o'clock," but everything was in English. While the foreigners moved quickly, the Japanese were all confused and flustered. In the meantime, the foreigners took the spots, and we couldn't get onto the deck. The announcements were mostly in English, and the crew also spoke almost exclusively in English. When we asked if anyone understood Japanese, they just shook their heads. We hardly understood any explanations. If we're going to spend half a day on this tour, I thought it would be more effective to extend our time for shopping around Waikiki or Kahala.

母と娘二人と夫の5人で人生初のハワイ旅行で、このオプショナルに参加しました。娘達のたっての希望で、参加したのですが...見えたのはほんの短い時間、尻尾と背中がちょっぴりでした。それでも、興奮して大きな声は出ましたが、写真のようなダイナミックな姿を見られるのは本当に運の良い人だけなのかな、と思いました。そして、何より、船長さんが「○○時の方向」と教えてくれるのですが、全て英語のみで、外人の方々はさっさと移動するのですが、日本人は皆、分からずオロオロ。その間に外人の方々に場所を取られてデッキに入れず。アナウンスも英語ばかりで、クルーの方々もほぼ英語のみで、日本語のわかる方、ときいても、首を振られるばかり。説明などはほぼわかりませんでした。このツアーに半日を費やすのなら、ワイキキやカハラ辺りまで、足を伸ばしてショッピングに時間を使う方が有効だな、と思いました。

3 Star was really all-time famous.

seat was really tight due to many passangers.

food was not that great. I guess 5 star only would provide great taste.

other that that, the trip was safe, view - great. Thanks.

We went on our honeymoon. Since it was Independence Day on July 4th, there were grand fireworks that exceeded our expectations. There was a mix-up with the arrangements, and we were guided on a different course than the one we had signed up for, which was disappointing, but we still made great memories.

新婚旅行で行かせていただきました。7/4の独立記念日だったため盛大な花火が上がり期待以上でした。手配ミスとのことで、申込んだコースとは違ったコースでの案内をされてしまい残念な気持ちもありましたがいい思い出ができました。

It was a very fantastic and romantic night!

The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and it's a great place to spend a romantic evening. You have a wonderful view of Diamond Head crater and the beautiful shores of Waikiki.

I chose the 3 star dinner cruise, food was great and the staff were entertaining and very professional. As soon as you arrive at the Aloha Tower the staff will take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select.

As you enjoy your dinner, they have a 2 man band playing local island music and latter they have a jazz duo with a saxophonist. At the end of the night that was a fun Polynesian show and they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone, specially for the one looking forward to a romantic night!

We took the dinner cruise on our first night's stay here in Hawaii! It was the best start to our vacation that we could have had! The food was fabulous and the entertainment was superb! We would highly recommend this dinner cruise to kick off anyone's vacation here in the islands!!
