Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales. However, the weather was nice and the waves were calm, so the breeze felt pleasant. I was satisfied with the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from offshore.

We spotted a whale a little offshore!! The captain quickly turned the boat, and we were able to see it multiple times. I was particularly moved by the sight of two whales swimming together, following the boat's stern.
少し沖に出た所でくじら発見!! 船長さんが機転をきかして船は旋回し、何度も何度も見ることができました。特に船の船尾を二頭揃って追尾して泳ぐ姿には感動した。

After about a 30-minute voyage from the port to offshore Waikiki, the whale watching began. For the first 30 minutes, there were no whales in sight at all. After that, we spotted tails and spouts about five times, with intervals of 5 to 15 minutes. Although we didn't see any spectacular jumps, we were able to see the whales.
The view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from offshore is truly breathtaking. The curry rice for lunch was very Japanese, and while the variety was limited, the other dishes were delicious as well. The waves offshore Waikiki weren't high, but since we slowed down to drift between the waves while searching for whales, some people did experience seasickness.
港からワイキキ沖まで30分ほど航海して、クジラウォッチングが始まります。最初の30分ほどはまったくクジラが見当たりませんでした。その後、5分から15分間隔で、尾ひれや潮吹きが5回ほど見られました。豪快にジャンプをするところはありませんでしたが、なんとかクジラを見ることができました。
沖合いから見るワイキキのホテルやダイアモンドヘッドは本当に絶景です。ランチのカレーライスも日本的で、品数は少ないですが他の料理も美味しいです。ワイキキ沖は波は高くありませんが、クジラを見つけるのに速度を落として波間を漂うので、船酔いする人もいました。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. It seems that the other people on the same tour also only caught a glimpse, but couldn't see them clearly. The view of the beach and Diamond Head from the sea is beautiful, so I think it's a good tour for first-time visitors to Hawaii. However, for those who have been there multiple times, it might feel a bit lacking.

I came to Hawaii in January when whales are often seen, so I decided to sign up for a tour. It ended in the morning, which made it easy to plan my day.
There were not many Japanese people.
Since the pickup was around 7 AM, I had lunch in my room. It seemed like there was time to have breakfast before the boat reached the whale watching point, so a plan that included breakfast might have been nice.
Although I couldn't see them up close, I was able to see dolphins and whales multiple times. I wondered if there are days when you can't see them.
Just seeing Diamond Head from the boat is worth it.
クジラが良くいる1月にハワイに来たので、せっかくなので申し込みました。
午前中に終わるので予定か立てやすかったです。

Let me start by saying that everyone was so friendly. My husband was here on a business trip so I came to do this tour on my own. The free transportation they provided went very smoothly. Pick up from my hotel and drop off at the end. One of the reasons I picked this tour group was the guarantee to see whales. Upon arriving, they welcome you and let you know where the lunch buffet is and that you can sit on any floor. The weather was beautiful and the sailing was very smooth. Unfortunately, there were no whales or aquatic life to be seen. At the end of the tour I was given a voucher to come back another day. I came back the next. Unfortunately again, I had the same experience. I found out later from locals that it's hard to see them in major boat trafficking areas. So while I didn't get to see any whales or aquatic life, the trip itself was nice. I was able to converse with other travelers and have some nice water time.

The atmosphere of cruising while enjoying the breeze on the rooftop deck was fantastic. However, the air conditioning on the second floor was too strong, making it quite cold and not very comfortable for a long stay, so I recommend bringing a jacket for those participating. I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food. This time, I happened to choose the fireworks viewing plan, but there was over two hours between sunset and the fireworks, which made the waiting feel tedious and tiring. Ultimately, I think a plan without fireworks viewing would have been better. Next time, I would like to board with a plan that doesn't include fireworks viewing.
屋上デッキで風を浴びながらのクルーズの雰囲気は最高でした。
ただ、2Fフロアーはクーラーがききすぎて、寒く、とても長居できないので、参加される方は、上着持参されたほうが良いと思います。
料理はそんなに期待しないほうが良いと思います。
今回たまたま花火鑑賞プランを選びましたが、サンセットから花火までの時間が2時間以上あるので、途中時間を弄び、逆に疲れました。
結果的には、花火鑑賞がついてないプランの方が良かったと思います。
次回は、花火鑑賞付きプラン以外で乗船したいと思います。

I will be boarding the Star of Honolulu, which I've always admired! It's a very beautiful and large ship, and the restrooms are really clean and comfortable.
I opted for the buffet, and I heard that on the day of the cruise, you can add an extra person for $12 for more food. The buffet was very delicious, and I went back for seconds on the sausages! The drink options are plentiful, and you can buy tasty alcoholic beverages if you're willing to spend a little more.
I'm the type to get seasick, and I forgot to bring my motion sickness medication, so I was a bit anxious. However, the ship is large, so it didn't sway much, and I had no problems at all.
The only disappointing thing was that we didn't see any whales. I was excited to join because it was said that there was a high chance of seeing them, but we didn't see any whales, sea turtles, or dolphins—nothing at all. We just ended up staring at the horizon for the entire time.
For those who didn't see anything, there is a free return ticket for the next time, but it seems that it’s only valid for this season and must be used by April of this year. Also, it doesn't include hotel pick-up or the buffet.
Since I only go to Hawaii about once a year, I can't use such a short-term ticket! Moreover, the explanations were given in English, so we, who only understand Japanese, were confused about where to collect the tickets. It seemed that many people returned home without receiving their tickets.
I think it would be helpful if there were a few more staff members who could speak Japanese.

船酔いするタイプの私ですのですが酔い止めを忘れて乗ってしまい不安でした。ですが船自体が大きいのでそこまで揺れず全く問題なかったです。
ただ一つ残念だったのが、ホエールが見えなかったことです。高い確率で見られるとのことでワクワクして参加しましたが、ホエールは勿論。ウミガメもイルカも何も見えませんでした。
見えないのをただただひたすら海の水平線を眺めて終わりました。
見えなかった方には次回の無料乗船券がもらえるのですが、今期のみで今年の4月までに行かなくてはならないそうで、ホテルへの送迎やブュッフェは付属しないとのことでした。
ハワイに行くのは一年に一度程度ですので、そんなに短い期間の乗船券だと使えません!!

I was worried about whether I would see any whales on my long-awaited whale watching tour, but I was able to meet many whales.
At first, they were far away, and I couldn't see them up close, so I thought maybe that was all there was. Just as I started to relax and have lunch, I was able to see a whale jumping through the glass! It was from the side, so it was beautifully visible, and everyone on board applauded enthusiastically. So, I realized that even when the sea is calm, we should never let our guard down!
I also participated with my 3-year-old child, and there were plenty of activities, plus meals with rice and noodles that my child enjoyed. There were both paid and free drinks, which was great!
Even after leaving the whales, the scenery, the color of the sea, and the color of the sky were all wonderful, making it a very satisfying tour!
I definitely plan to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
念願のホエールウォッチングで、見れるか心配だったけど、沢山のクジラたちに会えました。

As soon as we boarded, we had a buffet-style lunch. After finishing, we went out to the deck and felt the wind while heading out to Waikiki. The view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head was stunning, and just that alone made me feel great and glad to have participated.
The long-awaited whales appeared, with a pod of about four spouting water and showing their backs and tails repeatedly.
And then, one finally jumped! It leaped vertically, showing us its white and black mottled belly. Lucky!
During the latter part of the cruise, many participants had returned inside the ship, so it was worth staying outside. It was sudden and brief, so I couldn't take a photo, but it was a whale watching tour that left a lasting impression and was very satisfying.

そして、ついに一頭がジャンプ!
縦に垂直に上半身あたり(?)まで飛んで、こちらに白っぽくて黒いまだら模様のあるお腹側を見せてくれました。ラッキー!

The dancers performed in the middle of the deck. That is why dinner is quick. The Honolulu lights at night are a pretty sight. The night was breezy so bring a sweater to through on in case.

My wife has been attending a hula dance class for several years, and to experience authentic hula dancing, we decided to return to Hawaii, where we had our honeymoon, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal. A year ago, during our stay in Hawaii, we utilized Velta's services, which made it convenient to change reservations on-site, so I booked this tour with a three-star rating domestically.
Thanks to the tour sticker on my chest at the meeting point, several crew members congratulated us as we boarded. We had a window-side table for two on the second floor (below the upper level of the five-star) with a great view, and the food was good.
During the meal, we were called and escorted to the third floor (the top floor) via the elevator, where the front of the ship served as the venue. (When we took photos with the captain during our honeymoon, it was on the outer deck, but it might have been this location due to the strong winds and occasional rain that day.) It felt a bit cramped, but the captain came to our table, which was decorated with beautiful flowers, and we made our vow renewal promises while signing a certificate in the captain's presence. I couldn't fully understand the captain's comments since they were all in English, but I managed to respond with "Yes" whenever he looked my way. However, the floor manager, who spoke broken Japanese, explained the flow of the ceremony, and we were able to take videos and photos with our own camera during the ceremony. After that, the champagne included with the tour was served, and we toasted with the captain (who mentioned that his glass contained apple juice while on board).
After the ceremony, when I mentioned that we had also boarded the Star of Honolulu for our honeymoon 20 years ago, the three people present (the captain, the floor manager, and a black-clad attendant) exclaimed "Amazing." The captain was particularly delighted, saying, "I've been the captain of this ship for 30 years, so I probably was on board 20 years ago." The black-clad attendant kept repeating "Amazing" as we returned to our table, which made our happy moment feel even more special.
We returned to our table, continued our meal while drinking champagne, and enjoyed another highlight: the beautiful Friday fireworks, which made for an unforgettable time.
After 20 years of marriage, life has been different from our newlywed days, often moving away from words like "love," but I feel that this vow renewal allowed us to remember our "beginning" as a couple. We are considering participating in this tour for our 25th and 30th anniversaries as well.
Thank you for a wonderful time.
妻がフラダンス教室に数年通い本場でフラダンスを体験するため、また、結婚20周年を迎え、バウリニューアルのために新婚旅行で訪れた同じハワイに行いきました。1年前、ハワイ滞在時にVeltaさんを活用させていただき、予約変更等も現地で行えて便利だったので、国内で本ツアーの3スターを予約しました。
集合場所でツアーを示すシールを胸に貼ったおかげで、乗船時に『Congratulations』と数名のクルーから声をかけていただきました。席は2F?(5スターの上層階の下)の窓際の二人席でとても景色が良く、料理もGoodでした。
料理の途中で呼ばれてエスコートされてエレベーターで3F(最上階)に向かい、エレベーターを降りた船の最前面の場所が会場となります。(新婚旅行の時の船長さんとの記念撮影は、外の船主の甲板デッキでしたが、この日は風が強く、時折雨も降ったので、この場所だっだのかもしれません。)少し狭い感じはしますが、きれいな花等で飾られたテーブルの前に船長さんが来ていただき、バウリニューアルの誓いや船長さん立ち合いの証明書サインをして頂きました。船長さんのコメントは全て英語のために十分に理解はできませんでしたが、船長さんが視線を向けるたびに『Yes』と言ってごまかしました。ただ、サポートいただいたフロアーマネージャー??の方が片言の日本語で流れを説明していただき、加えて式の間は私たち持参のカメラでビデオ&写真を撮っていただけました。その後このツアーに付いているシャンペンがここで登場し、船長と一緒に乾杯しました。(船長さんのグラスは乗船中のためアップルジュースと言っていました。)
式の後、20年前の新婚旅行でもスターオブホノルルに乗船した事を伝えると、立ち会っていただいた3名(船長さん、フロアーマネージャー?黒服のアテンダー)から『Amazing』と言われ、特に船長さんは『30年前から本船のキャプテンをしているので、20年前も多分私が乗船したいた』ととても喜んでくれ、加えてテーブルに戻る間も黒服のアテンダーの方も『Amazing』を連発され、私たちの幸せな時間が更に倍増した感覚でした。
テーブルに戻ってシャンペンを飲みながら食事を続け、もう一つの楽しみも『金曜日の花火』もとてもきれいで、忘れられない時間をいただけた感じです。
結婚20年もたてば新婚生活と違って『愛』のような言葉から離れた生活でしたが、今回のバウリニューアルで夫婦お互いに少なからず『初心』を思い出す事が出来たと感じています。
25、30周年記念も、このツアーに参加させていただきたいと考えています。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございます。

It was the rainy season in Honolulu, but we were blessed with good weather and spent a fun few days there. On the last day, we participated in this tour. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any wildlife, but as everyone has mentioned, it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it (^^;
However, at the end, we received a compensation slip. Since it was the last day, I thought it would be nice to offer a small refund or even a commemorative postcard for those who missed out. It would change the feeling of disappointment and make us more excited to come back and see them next time!
But all the staff members were great♪ Thank you very much!
雨季のホノルルでしたが、天候に恵まれ
楽しい数日間を過ごし、最終日にこのツアーに参加しました。
あいにく遭遇できませんでしたが、皆さん書かれているように、自然の生き物ですから仕方ないですね(^^;
ただ最後に、補償の紙をいただきましたが
最終日でしたし
そういう人のためには少しでも返金
もしくは記念のポストカード1枚でもあると
残念感が違うし、今度は見るぞ!という気分にさせるのでは?と思いました。
でも、staffの方はみんな良かったです♪
ありがとうございました

My overall experience aboard the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise ship was fantastic! I went with my 7-year old son and he had a blast as well. His favorite part of the evening was going up and down the stairs from one deck to another exploring. And my favorite part was... the view of the Hawaiian sun disappearing behind the endless horizon. :)
We chose the all-you-can-eat crab dinner, and it was literally “all-you-can-eat!” The spirit-of-aloha-filled staff member was cruising along the dining area asking who else would like some more crab legs until the guests could not say a "yes" any more. The quality of food and entertainment were superb.
It was my first cruise dinner, so I did not know what to expect. A funny jokes-filled driver picked us up in a luxury motorcoach bus and upon arrival to Aloha Tower, an elegant staff representative escorted us to the ship. The tables were set beautifully with an orchid in the middle of the dinner plate.
I would definitely recommend this experience both to tourists and to those who live in Hawaii!

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.
楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。
