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.
送迎無しのプランを予約。バウチャー記載のチェックイン場所はParadise cruise officeとありますが、実際にはそんなオフィスは無く、Stat of Honolulu reservation office にてチェックインを行うので注意が必要です。
朝食は大して美味しくありませんが、暖かい料理とコーヒーを楽しめました。
出発から2時間ほどすると、船から20メートル先にクジラが!!運良く見ることができました。
船はかなり大きい為、ポジショニングも大事になると思います。

This was the first tour we took on our first trip to Hawaii in April of 2016. It was absolutely amazing. We had a good time on the Star of Honolulu except it was rather windy that day. Had a blast, regardless! There were several whale sightings but, not close enough to see them which was disappointing. The breakfast was fantastic. We spent time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos. We would definitely book another cruise when we return again.

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.

I participated with my friend's family, and as we got closer to the area, we were able to see the spouts several times. However, since we were only able to see the spouts from quite a distance, the kids started saying it was "boring."
Just when I thought we probably wouldn't see any jumps like those in the photos, the whales put on a fantastic show.
We were able to see all the whale behaviors listed on the ship, and we were very satisfied. Both the kids and the parents were thrilled to finish the tour. I know that since they are living creatures, it might not be like this every time.
友人家族と参加しましたが、ポイント付近に近づくとすぐに潮吹きが何度もみれました。
しかし、かなり離れたところからたまに上がる潮吹きを見ていただけなので、子供たちが「つまらない」と言い始めてしまいました。
あぁ、写真で見られるようなジャンプとかはなかなか見られないんだなと思っていたら、クジラの大サービスが始まりました。
船内に書いてあるクジラの行動パターンはすべてみられる事が出来て大満足です。

I didn't see any whales, sea turtles, or dolphins at all. I would appreciate some further explanation regarding the inability to see whales. I believe there was only audio recording, and there were no special announcements. They were distributing tickets for reboarding the next day to those who wanted them, but I couldn't use them due to other plans. 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.

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 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.

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。

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.

Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased that you were able to observe whales at the end. It can be quite challenging to capture photos of whales. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

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。
始めは遠くにいてなかなか近くで見れなかったので、もうこのくらいなのかなぁと油断してランチを始めたら、ガラス越しにジャンプするクジラを見ることが出来ました!!それも、横からだったのでキレイに見れて参加者全員拍手喝采でした❇
なので、海面が穏やかでも油断大敵だなと思います!
また、3歳の子どもと参加しましたが、アクティビティも沢山あったし、食事もライスも麺もあったので食べてくれましたし、飲み物も有料や無料があってどちらも良かったです!
そして、クジラたちたちと離れても景色も海の色も空の色も素晴らしいので大満足なツアーでした!
また、ハワイに行くときは必ず参加しようと思います!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. It was lucky that you were able to see the whales jumping! You never know when the whales will appear, so it's hard to take your eyes off the sea. However, I am truly glad that you were able to witness that moment while enjoying your meal. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

クジラのジャンプが見られたとは、ラッキーでしたね!
クジラはいつ姿を現せてくれるか分かりませんので、なかなか海から目が離せませんね。
でも、お食事をしながらもその瞬間をご覧いただけたのは本当に嬉しく思います。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

We participated as a family of four. It was greatly appreciated that the children's fees were free. We didn't know if we would see whales until we boarded, but we joined with the expectation that if we didn't see any, we could still enjoy cruising on the Star of Honolulu! Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see whales three times. While we couldn't see the whales' faces, we were able to see their spouts and impressive tails, which left both the kids and adults very satisfied.
家族4人で参加しました。子供の費用が無料だったのは大変ありがたかったです。
鯨が見れるかは乗船してみるまでわからないけど、まあ見れなかったらスターオブホノルルでクルージングを楽しむ!という期待感で参加しましたが、ラッキーなことに3回も鯨を見ることができました。
さすがに鯨の顔を見ることはできませんでしたが、潮吹きと立派な鯨の尻尾を見ることができて、子供も大人も大満足でした。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂き、誠にありがとうございました。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どもも大変嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際にには、ご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

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.
乗船してすぐブッフェ式のランチ。食べ終えて外のデッキへ出て風に吹かれながら、ワイキキ沖へ出て行くと、ワイキキのホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、まずはそれだけでも気持ちよくて、参加してよかったと思いました。
待望のクジラは、四頭ほどの群れが潮吹き、背中や尻尾を何度も何度も見せてくれました。
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!
クルージング後半で、参加者の多くは船内に戻っていた時間帯、外で頑張っていた甲斐がありました。突然で、一瞬だったので写真は撮れなかったけど、目に焼き付けて大満足のホエールウォッチングツアーとなりました。

We came to Hawaii for the first time as a couple. The service was wonderful, and watching the fireworks from the boat created great memories. The air conditioning and sea breeze were colder than expected, so be careful about what you wear.
夫婦で初めてハワイに来ました。
サービスも素晴らしく、花火を船上から見ることができていい思い出になりました。
冷房と潮風が思ったより寒いので、着るものには注意が必要です。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
It's wonderful that you and your spouse traveled to Hawaii for the New Year.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed our services and the fireworks.
As you mentioned, it can be a bit chilly in the evenings and indoors in Hawaii, so we recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes.
Please do come back and visit us again with your spouse.
All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
