The best view and encounters with whales. 最高の景色と鯨との遭遇

Reviewed by: nabefood

I was already feeling excited before the tour even started with the bus pickup around the hotels in Waikiki. The boat was larger than I expected and spacious, so I think it would be hard to get seasick unless the waves were really rough.

We had a meal on the boat, but I wouldn't get my hopes up about it. It was just ordinary local cuisine.

Inside the boat, they showed us pictures and explained things in English. It was labeled as having a Japanese guide, but there was none at all. I think they should revise that description.

When I went out on the deck, the weather was nice and the view was amazing. I felt like it was the right time to go out, but I wish they had informed us when we could go out.

Fortunately, we were able to see three whales swimming alongside us, and we got to see a lot of spouts. We even encountered one that was flipping its large tail while diving.

There were tourists from various countries on board, and everyone had their own way of enjoying the experience. I found myself having fun too, thanks to a lady who was joyfully shouting and celebrating.

ワイキキのホテルを回りながらのバスピックアップで、参加前から気分が高揚しました。
船は思っていたより大きくて、ゆったりしているので、よほど波が荒くなければ酔いにくいんじゃないかと思います。

船の中で食事を食べるのですが、これはあまり期待しない方がいいです。
ごく普通の現地料理。

船内で、写真を見せながら英語で説明をしてくれます。日本語ガイドと表記されていましたが、それは一切ありませんでした。これは表記は改めた方がいいと思います。

甲板に出ると、天候が良く素晴らしい景色でした。
これも、なんとなく今のタイミングだと思ってデッキに出たんですが、いつから出ていいのかは言ってほしいところですね。

運よく、3匹の鯨と並走で、潮吹きはたくさん見ることが出来まして、潜る際に大きく尾びれを回しているところにも遭遇できました。

色々な国から集まった観光客が乗り込んでいて、楽しみ方も様々。
大声で騒いで喜んでいるおばさまにつられて、こちらも楽しくなりました。

The tour was professionally organised and well run. The boat provided plenty of viewing opportunities for all onboard. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We found some whales but didn't get really close (which was the only downside).

My husband and I took our 3 kids and we were quite impressed with how quickly we spotted the whales (we even saw dolphins!). It's safe and a great experience, I would definitely recommend it for families with young children.

Parking is convenient. Check in is across from boat. Prepare for standing and maybe even a little sea sick lol! Don't forget to bring your binoculars!

It was quite far, but I was able to see whales. I took photos before getting on the boat, and they were being distributed on the boat, but I wasn't sure if it was part of the service. I didn't receive any photos... However, it was great that there were photos of the whales taken by the staff with a telephoto lens available for purchase.

That's unfortunate... 残念・・

Reviewed by: 晴れ女

The weather was nice, and I had high hopes, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales. However, I enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and other sights from the sea. I was so focused on the direction where the photographer was aiming his camera, hoping to spot a whale, that I ended up feeling a bit seasick.

The lunch buffet might be a bit disappointing if you imagine it by Japanese standards; it felt more like a school cafeteria lunch. If you stay out on the deck trying to see whales, you might miss out on eating. Once you head back, the food will be cleared away, so it's better to go inside and eat at your convenience.

Even though they say there is a "Japanese guide," the person who picks you up and the one explaining about the whales both spoke English. There might have been someone who could speak Japanese somewhere, but you need to look at the photo materials on the boat to learn about the whales yourself.

If you don't see any whales, the tour is just a boat ride out to sea and back to the port, so whether you enjoy it or not really depends on luck.

天気も良く期待していましたが残念ながらクジラには会えませんでした。
しかし、海から見るダンヤモンドヘッドなどの景色は楽しめました。
カメラマンがカメラを構えている方向にクジラが出るのかと海面に目を見張っていたせいか、ちょっと船酔いしてしまいました。
ランチビュッフェは日本基準で想像するとちょっとがっかりかもしれません。学食のランチのような感じです。クジラを見ようとずっとデッキに出ていると食べ損ねてしまいます。帰路についたら片付けられてしまうので適当に中に入って食べたほうがいいです。
「日本語ガイド」といっても送迎の人も、クジラの説明の人も英語です。おそらくどこかに日本語ができる人がいたのかもしれません。自分で船内の写真資料を見てクジラのことを知る必要があります。
クジラが見られなければ港から沖に船で出て帰ってくるだけのツアーですので楽しめるかどうかは「運」次第です。

Reviewed by: MA2016

Every year, I spend New Year's in Hawaii. This year, I decided to spend it on the Star of Honolulu and made a reservation. I chose the most luxurious plan, but when I got there, they packed in too many guests. The view from the front of the second deck was nice, but the amount of food served after 10 PM was overwhelming, and the meat was cold. The service was good, but I could hear the conversations of the people next to me.

The live jazz was great, but the neighboring room on the second deck seemed more casual with its food and had a hula show, which looked like more fun.

About 20 minutes before the countdown, we were guided to a spot where we could see the fireworks easily, but just before it started, there was an announcement in Japanese saying that the view was better from the opposite side. Everyone suddenly started moving to the other side, and when I asked the staff, they said it could be seen from both sides. Since the foreign guests didn't understand the announcement, many stayed put, and in the end, those who didn't move had a great view of the fireworks around Waikiki River and the Rum Fire area.

On the way back, we gathered again for the bus. We waited for about 20 minutes and finally headed home. I feel like it would have been better to watch from Kaka'ako Park.

毎年ハワイで年越ししています。今年はスターオブホノルルで過ごすことにして予約しました。
一番豪華なプランにして、いざ行ってみたら、客を詰め込みすぎ。二階の船の先端で、景色は良いけど食事は22時過ぎから食べきれない量、しかも冷めてるお肉とか。サービスは良いです。席は隣の会話まる聞こえ。
ライブジャズは良かったけど、二階の隣の部屋はリーズナブルな所なのか料理も少しカジュアルで、フラショーなどがあり、そちらの方が楽しそうでした。
カウントダウンの20分前に案内されて花火が見えやすい所を陣取っていたら、直前に日本語で反対から見えます、とアナウンス。一斉に皆反対に行きだし、スタッフに聞いたら反対からも見えますと。外国の方はアナウンスがわからないのでそのままだったりして、結局は移動しない方がワイキキ川、ラムファイヤーのあたりの花火がよく見えました。
帰りはまたバスに集合。20分くらい待ち、ようやく帰路につきました。
カカアコパークから見た方がよかったな、という気がします。

I participated in whale watching with high expectations. The main reason I chose this was because it mentioned there would be Japanese commentary. However, when I actually participated, there was no Japanese commentary at all. It was incomprehensible; I searched for where the Japanese commentary was supposed to be in the catalog, but I couldn't find it.

I signed up with meals included, but... 食事つきで申し込んだのに・・・

Reviewed by: シルバーファミリー

When we arrived at the port and were about to board, despite having signed up for a meal (showing the smartphone screen of the reservation), we were told that there was no such notification. After confirming with VELTRA over the phone at the counter, it turned out there was a communication error with the operating company after about 10 minutes of investigation. I'm glad it was resolved, but with the departure time approaching, I felt anxious in a foreign place where I struggled with the language. The whale watching was good; although the wind was strong, we were able to see the tails a few times. The meal was also delicious.

港に着いてさあ乗船となった時、食事つきで申し込んだにもかかわらず(申し込みのスマホの画面を提示)、そのような連絡が来てないとのこと。カウンターでVELTRAに電話で確認したところ、10分程調べてもらった結果、運航会社への連絡ミスとわかりました。解決したので良かったですが、出航時間も迫り、言葉の不自由な旅行先で不安になりました。ホエールウォッチングは風が強かったものの、何回か尾びれも見えました。食事も美味しかったです。

We were greeted at our hotel by a Cruise rep and his trainee who had a wonderful smile.

The Cruise rep and his trainee (Smiley) cited on our table with tremendous professionalism and friendliness making our cruise very pleasant. The food was perfect for this cruise and everything was brought to our table in perfect order. The floor show was spectacular and it was fun seeing the traditions of dance and music. We started off during daylight and cruised the beautiful skyline of Waikiki Beach and Honolulu in the dark. Everyone had a chance to spend time outside on several different viewing areas.

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Romantic & Beautiful

Reviewed by: NoName

Let me start off by saying I NEVER post reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. This was my boyfriend & I first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! We chose the Five Star package because of the jazz music (we attended a luau the night before & did not want to have the same theme).

They picked us up from our hotel at 4:30 pm. From the very beginning we were treated like VIP. We were led to the top deck to have champagne & o'dourves with the captain. We also got to take a professional pic with the captain, which was cool. After that, we were led to our seat inside the ship. We had a window seat & loved it. We were a little worried about getting seasick, but it wasn't a problem. I was a little concerned about the food at first because neither one of us are into fancy food, but it was pretty good (as stated before we chose that package specifically for the music). Instead of the lobster we chose a stuffed chicken option which was my favorite! For our steak entree we asked that it was cooked well done & it was the most tender steak ever! Throughout the dinner you can step outside as you please to feel the breeze, take in the views, & take pics.

The ambiance was beautiful! There was a live pianist, saxophonist/flutist, & singer. They were great! In the end they gave us the photo we took with the captain in a nice album cover with a pic of the ship on the water. Also, all of the ladies were given a rose. The only thing I WISH I would have did was asked for another copy of the photo so my boyfriend & I can both have one :-( I didn't even think about it until we returned back to our home state. I called 3 days later to see if we could get a copy; they sent an email to the photo dept. but almost 2 weeks later & I still haven't heard anything.

Overall, I highly recommend! This is perfect for a romantic date night! The cruise lasted about 2 hrs. This was a great way to end our trip in Hawaii.
