Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

A nicely organized cruise

Reviewed by: Soumdita

The experience was great. We loved the view from the ceiling and the Luau dance. One thing that could have been done better is the food choice (given the culinary taste that different people have). We didn’t like the fish and chicken served. Overall it was good.

Could not go whale watching. ホエールウォッチできず

Reviewed by: ぷち子

I booked a breakfast buffet plan for the "Whale Watching Cruise - Star of Honolulu" with a choice of cultural experiences.

I didn't include transportation and took an Uber taxi from the hotel to Pier 8.

At that time, the weather in Hawaii was consistently "cloudy with occasional rain and strong winds," resulting in high waves.

<Breakfast>
You can freely choose from bread, rice, scrambled eggs (steamed eggs), American sausage, and cereal, along with coffee, tea, green tea, milk, and orange juice.

Around the time we finished breakfast, they provided an explanation about whale watching. Those who didn't have breakfast had to wait until we finished. The explanation was entirely in English, so I somewhat understood it while reading the translations from Google Translate's microphone mode.

<Cruise>
Announcements like "Let's work together to find the whales!" and "The ecology of whales is..." were continuously made in English. At first, I was full of enthusiasm, but the waves were intense, and the wind was strong. It was rocking a lot. As expected, I got seasick, and it became difficult to focus on whale watching. I usually don't get car or airplane motion sickness, but this was a different dimension. (The foreign guests around me seemed fine.) I couldn't spot any whales, and with the seasickness, it turned into quite a heavy activity.

However, those who couldn't see any whales are issued a ticket for another free cruise.

Due to my travel schedule, I didn't use the ticket, but I think it's great that they offer a chance.

Since this activity depends on nature, I recommend understanding that aspect and being prepared to accept the possibility of not seeing whales when making a reservation.

Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.

「ホエールウォッチングクルーズ スターオブホノルル号 選べるカルチャー体験」の朝食ビュッフェ付きプランを予約しました。

送迎は付けず、ホテルからpier8までUberタクシーで移動しました。

この時のハワイの天気は、連日「曇時々雨で一日中強風」というタイミングも重なり、波が高かったです。

<朝食>
パン、ごはん、スクランブルエッグ(スチームエッグ)、アメリカンソーセージ、シリアル
コーヒー、紅茶、緑茶、牛乳、オレンジジュース
これらから自由に選べます。

朝食を食べ終わる頃にホエールウォッチングの説明がされます。
朝食を食べ終わるまでの間、朝食なしの人は待っていることになります。
説明は全篇英語なので、Google翻訳のマイクモードで翻訳されたのを読みながら、なんとなく理解しました

<クルーズ>
「みんなで協力しあってくじらを見つけよう!」「くじらの生態は…」というようなアナウンスが終始英語で流れています。
最初はやる気に溢れていたのですが、なんせ波が、すごい。風も、すごい。揺れる。
案の定船酔いしてしまい、途中からホエールウォッチングどころではなくなってしまいました。
車酔いや飛行機酔いはしない方ですが、船は別次元でした。
(周りの外国人の方々は平気そうでした。)
くじらはを見つけることはできず、船酔いをし、なかなかヘビーなアクティビティになりました。

ただ、くじらを見れなかった人にもう一回無料でクルーズできるチケットが発行してもらえます。

旅程の都合でチケットは利用しませんでしたが、チャンスをもらえるのはいいと思います。

自然とのお付き合い次第のアクティビティなので、その点は理解し、諦めを覚悟して予約することをおすすめします。

それと、酔い止めをご持参されることをおすすめします。笑

It was the best whale watching experience. 最高のホエールウォッチでした

Reviewed by: ママちゃん

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。

I won! くじらいました!

Reviewed by: ビギナーハワイアン

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…

The crucial whale is... 肝心の鯨は…、

Reviewed by: ききき

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、、、

I saw a whale, but it was too far away. クジラ見えたけど遠すぎる

Reviewed by: きいちゃん

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。

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。

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.

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!

I wanted to see more~ もっと見たかった〜

Reviewed by: Love Hawaii

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。

2.5 Hour Honolulu Whale Watch Cruise on the Majestic with Waikiki & Diamond Head Views [Dec - Apr]

Rare exciting experience

Reviewed by: Hannah R.

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.

Before departing from Japan, the weather forecast predicted cloudy rain, but it turned out to be sunny, as we say in Japan. The pick-up was smooth, and after boarding, we had a light snack while the captain gave an explanation. Then we had free time and went to the upper deck. After about 20 minutes, the captain announced that we were heading towards 1 o'clock, and we could see the spouting. After that, every 20 minutes or so, we were able to see the spouting and tails, and I was able to take photos with a telephoto lens. On the way back, we were also lucky enough to see dolphins. The boat accommodated 1,500 people, and I didn't feel much rocking, so it was comfortable. The upper deck can be quite windy and chilly, so having a windbreaker would be a good idea.

日本出発前は、曇り雨予報でしたが、結局は、日本でいう晴れでした。送迎もスムーズで、乗船後、軽食を採りながら船長の説明があった後、フリーとなり、屋上デッキへ。20分くらいして船長から1時の方向とアナウンスがあり、潮吹きが見えました。その後も20分くらい置きに、潮吹き、尻尾を見ることができ、望遠レンズで写真も撮れました。帰りには、イルカも見ることが出来、ラッキーでした。船も1500人乗りで、揺れもそんなに感じること無く快適でした。屋上は、風が強く肌寒いので、ウインドブレーカーがあるといいです。

I was prepared for the possibility that I might not see it, but...

Unfortunately, I ended up on a disappointing day.

Maybe it's just right to think of it as lucky if I do get to see it!?

必ず見られるとは限らないとは覚悟してたけど・・・

そんな残念な日に当たってしまった。

見れたラッキーぐらいがちょうど良いかも!?

Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that the whales did not make an appearance. We understand that travelers are hoping for that one chance, and it can be disheartening when luck doesn't go their way. If you have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again in the winter, we hope you will give it another try.

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。クジラが姿を見せず本当に残念です。ご旅行の方々は、ワンチャンスにかけていらっしゃるので、ラッキー・アンラッキー次第になってしまうことは、心苦しく思います。また、冬のハワイにお越しになる機会があれば、再チャレンジ願います。

An emotional cruising experience. 感動のクルージング

Reviewed by: kaorin

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.

For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).

I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.

The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!

港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした(酔い止め薬は必須かと思います)
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見!30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです!

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Great for families or if you would like to see whales from above on the top-deck of a boat

Reviewed by: Jacky Daniels

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Very Entertaining from Beginning to End

Reviewed by: a-chan

When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

The cruise ship is large, so it's fine even if you have children with you. クルーズ船大きい為 子供連れでも大丈夫です

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.

From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.

ピィクアップ場所から バスでホノルルハーバーに乗船時に 船長が出迎えくれ顔を少し上げれば 他のクルーズ船 空には飛行機(ホノルル空港旅客機です)と 正に
ザ リゾート 出港すると コンテナ船 リゾート船 コートガードの船見ながら ワイキキ沖を目指します。これだけでも遊覧船気分です。ここからクジラのいるポイントに行き クジラが息継ぎで 海面に現れるをまちます。私自身知らなかったのですが クジラはずっと海面居るわけではなく クジラを追い求めて色々な場所に 行くわけでは ありません。船の側舷に出て ひたすら クジラを探します。でも 心配しないでください。クジラが現れると時計回りの方向を館内放送してくれます。英語が苦手でも大丈夫です。人が一気に右や左に移動します。1度潜ると20分以上 浮上しないため クジラに会えても 何回も見られ訳ではありません。私は今回 2回会えました。ただ 法律で 100ヤードルールがあるらしく(クジラとの距離を100ヤード以上離す)間近で見られ訳ではありません。2回目合えた時 たまたま 船の直ぐ側に浮上したため 大きく見えました。(この場合 クジラを傷つけないようにエンジンを切るのがルールらしい) 毎回 必ず見られる訳ではありません。ハワイの天気予報晴れの日に予約必要です。

Whale✨ クジラ✨

Reviewed by: みーこ

As we boarded the boat and set off, we spotted dolphins swimming in the distance. I was excitedly wondering if we would see a whale next! I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!

I want to see it again!

船に乗り少しすると遠くの方でイルカが泳いでるのを発見。
次はクジラか⁉︎とワクワクしながら海を眺めましたが、なかなか現れてくれませんでした。
ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを別の角度から見たりしながら、海の上をプカプカ…
とその時、クジラ⁉︎水しぶきが上がっているのを発見しました。
そしてついにクジラの大ジャンプ‼︎

もう一回見たいですね〜

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Well done!

Reviewed by: Tom

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.

The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.

Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.

The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.

The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

Casual dinner and fireworks

Reviewed by: Ash

The overall experience was excellent, the people were friendly and the food was great, better than expected and they really fill you up with crab legs. Dislikes were bathroom locations being unclear and during fireworks people are everywhere to see the fireworks on one side of the boat and they smoke cigs in your face at the very top deck, gross.

Reviewed by: いけちゃん

I had never been to Hawaii during whale watching season before, and this was my first attempt at whale watching. I boarded the boat with high expectations, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales... tears. The morning boat ride was pleasant with the sea breeze, but it's still disappointing not to see anything. We were returning home the next day, so we didn't use it, but I heard that if you don't see any whales, you can receive a free boarding ticket. (Transportation to the boat is separate.) I thought it was nice that they have such care in place.

これまでクジラが見られる時期にハワイにきたことがなく、ホエールウォッチング初挑戦でした。期待を膨らませて船に乗りましたが、残念ながらクジラを見ることはできませんでした…涙
早朝の船で海風も心地よかったのですがやっぱり見れないと残念ですよね。
私達は翌日帰国だったので使いませんでしたが、見れなかった場合は無料乗船券を貰えるそうです。(船までの送迎は別途必要)そういったケアがあるところはいいなと思いました。
