Whales cannot be seen. クジラは見られない

Reviewed by: ホノルル在住のカズ

This is completely unacceptable. It's understandable that we couldn't see any whales, but the complete lack of announcements was extremely unkind. The worst! When I called to reboard, the rude response from the Japanese staff was the lowest! If there was even one thing to praise, I would mention it, but there is absolutely nothing, only criticism! I am very disappointed.

全く話にならない。クジラは見られなかったのは、そういうのはしょうがない事だが、アナウンスが全くなくて、不親切極まりない。最低！電話で再乗船申し込みをしたら日本人の感じの悪い対応は最低！一つでも褒める事があれば書くけど、全くなくて貶すだけ！非常に残念に思う。

Great things were the weather, water and warmth of the staff. Whale sightings were unfortunately few and at a great distance such that mostly splashes and puffs of water were seen only. Boat was nice, top deck offers the best views. Kids had fun.

Whale! クジラ！

Reviewed by: さとはる

I was torn about which boat to choose, but since I had already taken a dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu, I opted for the slightly smaller Majestic. The weather was nice, and the contrast between Diamond Head and the ocean was beautifully visible.

After heading out for a while, I spotted a whale's spout and was able to see its back and tail. After that, I saw quite a few spouts, but I couldn't confirm their full appearance. The boat was rocking quite a bit, and it seemed like many people were feeling a bit worn out, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. I bought motion sickness pills at ABC and was fine. If you're worried about foreign medication, it's better to bring extra from Japan!

どの船にするか悩みましたが、スターオブホノルル号にはディナークルーズで乗ったので、少し小さめのマジェスティック号にしました。天気も良く、ダイヤモンドヘッドと海のコントラストがキレイに見えました。
沖に出てしばらくすると、クジラの潮吹きが見え、背中、尾びれと見ることが出来ました。その後は潮吹きは結構見えましたが、姿を確認するまでには至りませんでした。結構揺れが激しく、ぐったりしている方も多かった様なので、酔いやすい人は薬を飲んでいった方が良いようです。私はABCで酔い止めを買って飲んだので大丈夫でした。海外の薬が不安なら日本から多目に買っていった方がいいですよ！

I had a tour scheduled to arrive at Honolulu Airport on February 7th at 7:30. Since I couldn't check into the hotel until after 1 PM, I was wondering what to do because of jet lag, when I found this tour departing at 12:00. I was picked up from the airport around 9:00 and took the Red Line to Aloha Tower, where I boarded the ship without any issues. I'm glad I was able to make good use of my time.

二月７日、７：３０にホノルル空港に到着予定のツアーでした。ホテルには午後１時過ぎでないと入れないとの事でしたので、時差ぼけだし、どうしようかと思っていたところ、１２：００発のこのツアーを見つけました。空港からホテルに送ってもらったのが、９：００頃で、レッドラインで、アロハタワーに行き無事乗船しました。有効な時間の使い方が出来て良かったです。

It was fun even though I couldn't see it! 見れなくても楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: んんん

I participated with a friend.
We didn't see any whales.
Therefore, they were distributing re-boarding tickets towards the end of the cruise (it's a system where you have to go get it yourself, so be careful not to forget!).

Although we didn't see any whales, I had fun just being on the boat!!
However, since it was just simple scenery unless any creatures appeared, I noticed a few children looking bored.
It might be a bit tricky for those with small children...

After disembarking, there was someone who seemed to be the captain, and I was able to take a photo with him (＾V＾).
I was grateful that he was friendly and posed for the picture.

友人と参加しました。
クジラは見られませんでした。
そのため、クルーズの終わりごろに再乗車券を配布していました（自分でもらいに行くシステムなので忘れないように注意！）。

クジラは見られませんでしたが、私は船に乗るだけで楽しかったです！！
しかし、生き物が出ない限り単純な風景が続くだけなので、退屈そうにしているお子さんがチラホラいました。
小さいお子さんがいらっしゃる方は微妙かもしれません…

下船後、船長さんらしき方がいらっしゃったので一緒に写真を撮っていただきました(＾V＾)
気さくに写ってくださってありがたかったです。

Participated for a chance at luck. 運試しで参加

Reviewed by: ギャバンス西原

As the title suggests, whether you can see a jump depends on luck at that moment. After waiting for two hours, I finally caught a glimpse of a dorsal fin and saw it spouting water, but I couldn't help but wish to see a more spectacular sight like in the photos. Still, when I spotted it, I was simply thrilled to see it!

Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, it's definitely better to take some medication beforehand. (I usually don't get motion sickness, but I felt a bit queasy...)

I might have just been unlucky, but I think it's better to approach it with the mindset of "I might see a whale during the cruise, how lucky!" rather than "I will definitely see a whale!"

If I could wish for something, it would be great to have more events on the boat, like experiences with Hawaiian instruments, songs, the meaning of hula dancing, and how to move your hands, etc. There seems to be a lack of connection with the participants.

タイトル通りです。ジャンプが見られるかどうかはその時の運次第。
2時間待ってようやく海面から背びれがちらっと、潮を吹いているのが分かったという程度でしたので、思わず、写真のような姿が見たかったなぁと思いました。それでも、見つけた時はいたー！と単純に嬉しかったです。
また、乗り物酔いをする方は絶対に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいです。（普段乗り物酔いしない自分が少ししましたので。。。）
自分はたまたま運が悪かっただけかもしれませんが、「絶対クジラを見る！と意気込んで行く」というよりは、「クルーズ中にクジラが見えた、ラッキー」という感覚で行くくらいがちょうどいいかなと思いました。
欲を言えば、船の中でイベント毎がもっとあるとよかったです。例えばハワイの楽器体験・歌・フラダンスの意味・手の動かし方等々。参加者との連帯感にかける所がある。

I was so excited to see whales and I wasn't disappointed! Guaranteed indeed.
We saw a few pod of whales and it was always entertaining to watch them swim by and see their blows. I actually saw one that threw its tail out of the water up close when I was heading to the restroom, but very quickly that no one noticed it I think. I just got lucky, haha!
It was a nice cruise, great customer service from the crew, delicious food, and gorgeous views of the Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head! There were fun activities on board too like lei making, ukulele lessons, and hula lessons. I really enjoyed the trip! I was with a group of friends but as a mom, I would definitely recommend this for families with young children as well, it's a great activity for all ages so anyone are welcome!

I booked a plan without pick-up. The check-in location listed on the voucher is the Paradise cruise office, but in reality, there is no such office, so you need to check in at the Stat of Honolulu reservation office.
The breakfast isn't particularly delicious, but I was able to enjoy warm dishes and coffee.
About two hours after departure, we spotted a whale just 20 meters from the boat! We were lucky to see it.
Since the boat is quite large, positioning is also important.

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

Extremely Disappointing!

Reviewed by: Jeff

The overall cruise was extremely disappointing because throughout the entire cruise we saw a single whale spout either 4 or 5 times as it exhaled and a brief cloud of mist was observable for about 2 seconds. Because the spouts were so brief, I only actually saw 2 of them. However, technically, we did see a whale and were not eligible for a free re-booking.
I don't blame Star of Honolulu for the lack of whales - they are wild animals! But, I did expect more from them and am disappointed that seeing mist from a whale for a total of less than 20 seconds in a multi-hour cruise at least 100 yards away is considered a whale sighting.
Other than the lack of seeing whales - which was the entire point of going on the cruise! - the cruise itself is actually pretty good. The employees were very friendly, the food was better than expected (bring your own coffee though), and the views of Oahu from the ocean are gorgeous.
The ship is a bit dated and worn around the edges, but it was clean and offered a lot of indoor and outdoor viewing options. Because there are 4 decks, I never felt like it was crowded even though there were a lot of people on board.

Although there is a policy that refunds are not available, I think it would be nice to have some consideration, such as a souvenir, in case we didn't see anything.
