It was moving! 感動!

Reviewed by: アラフィフ夫婦

I participated with the mindset that it was understandable not to see whales since they are wild creatures, but I was able to confirm several spouts and tails from a distance. What excited me the most was when a pod of dolphins appeared and swam alongside the boat for a long time. I was sitting at the best position at the bow, watching them up close! The staff members were also so engrossed in dolphin watching that they set their work aside—such a laid-back vibe in tropical Hawaii (laughs). I wonder if this is a really rare occurrence.

It felt like the dolphins and whales were welcoming me to Hawaii, and it made me feel so happy.

The Japanese guide's Japanese was quite questionable, though (laughs). At the hotel and restaurants, everyone spoke fluent Japanese, so it stood out even more (laughs). It might not have much meaning if the explanation isn't in Japanese. But I was very satisfied, so I give it ★5!

自然の生き物なのでクジラに会えなくても仕方ないと心づもりして参加しましたが、
遠目とはいえ、何度も潮吹きや尾びれを確認できました。
何といっても興奮したのはイルカの群れが現れ、ずっと船と並走してくれたこと。
ベストポジションの船首に座っていたので、かぶりつきで眺めていました~~
スタッフの人たちもお仕事そっちのけでイルカウォッチングしてて
さすがおおらかな南国ハワイ(笑)もしかしてすごく珍しいことなんでしょうか。

ハワイにようこそ!ってイルカやクジラたちに歓迎してもらったようで、
幸せな気分になりました。

日本語ガイドさんの日本語はかなり怪しかったですけどね(笑)
ホテルでもレストランでもみなさん流暢な日本語を駆使されるので
際立つ怪しさ(笑)解説が日本語でないとあまり意味がないかな。
でも大満足でしたので★5つ!

Let's go to the top. 一番上に上がりましょう

Reviewed by: アロハ

Due to regulations, you can only see from a farther distance than expected. However, I was able to see the spouts and tails. It would be nice to have binoculars, but since they are small, if you lean in to look, you might lose sight of them.

I accidentally watched from the lower deck the whole time, but I think I would have seen more if I had gone to the top. Even if you can't see whales, it's a pleasant cruise where you can enjoy the view of Waikiki from the clear sea.

Actually, on the dinner cruise, I happened to see whales, and they were closer there. It's all about luck.

By the way, I opted for the breakfast option, but it might be fine without it. The contents were lettuce, tomato, sausage, scrambled eggs, orange, and pineapple.

規定があるので、思ったより遠くからしか見られません。
でも、潮吹きや尾が見えました。双眼鏡があるといいですが、小さいので、覗きこんでいると、見失ってしまいます。
うっかり下のデッキからずっとそのまま見てしまいましたが、一番上に上がったらもっと見えたと思います。
クジラが見えなくても、晴れた海からワイキキを眺められて気持ちいいクルーズです。
実はディナークルーズでも、偶然クジラが見られて、そちらの方がクジラは近かったです。運次第ですね。
なお、朝食付きにしましたが、なしでもいいかも。
内容は、レタス・トマト・ソーセージ・スクランブルエッグ・オレンジ・パイナップル、以上でした。

Very disappointing. 非常に残念。

Reviewed by: ハネムーナー

I participated this morning.

The description stating that there would be an explanation by a marine biology expert about whales in Japanese is completely false. All explanations on the Navatic were in English from the pickup bus. I wouldn't have chosen this tour if there was no Japanese explanation, so I would like a refund. I wonder why I compared various tours...

I feel like the experience has been ruined not just on the day of the tour, but from the preparation period leading up to it.

今日の午前中に参加しました。

クジラについての海洋生物専門家による解説(日本語)というのは、まったくの嘘の表記です。
ピックアップのバスから、ナバティック号での説明全てが英語です。
日本語の説明がないなら選ばなかったツアーなので、返金してほしいです。
何の為に色々なツアーを比較したのだか、、、

Whale watching cruise ホエールウォッチングクルーズ

Reviewed by: なおこ

I was able to see it multiple times! Although we didn't get to see the upper body completely emerge, it was exciting to watch several whales, which appeared to be a mother and her calf, spouting water and floating on the waves with their tails out. Since we had a hotel pickup plan, it was smooth and we didn't have to worry about finding the boarding area.

何回も見ることができました!
上半身がザパーンと出るまでは行きませんでしたが
親子と思われる複数頭が潮吹きをしたり波に浮かんで尻尾を出したり、終始エキサイティングでした。

Amazing! We were able to see not only whales but also dolphins and turtles! 最高!クジラはもちろんイルカやカメも見れました!

Reviewed by: さくらもち

Since it's near Honolulu, I thought it would be lucky if we got to see whales, and if not, we could enjoy the cruise, so I made a reservation. There are colorful fish in the harbor where the boat docks, so definitely check them out before boarding! The various sizes of yellow and blue fish really get you excited.

For those without meals included, we were guided to the third floor where we received explanations about the whales and the boat before departure, but everything was in English and honestly, it was content you could take or leave. Later, a file with explanations in Japanese was placed on the stage, which was sufficient. Since there was time, many people were having breakfast with the rice balls and bread they brought. Since it was early in the morning, having a meal here might be enough.

Once we set sail, we had free time, so I quickly went up to the observation floor on the fourth deck. About 30 minutes after departure, when we could see Ala Moana, dolphins started swimming alongside the boat!!! Everyone was super excited to see about 20 dolphins! They swam alongside the boat, jumped a little away, and then came back... just this alone felt worth the price, and I was already very satisfied.

After about 45 minutes, we arrived off Diamond Head and stopped. An announcement was made to look for whales. However, during the announcement, we already saw a spout, and when we focused our eyes, we spotted a large tail! It was a bit far, but we could see it perfectly! After that, we spent about an hour and a half moving and stopping while searching for whales, and we were able to see them more than 15 times, which was amazing! In the end, we even saw a mother and calf swimming leisurely about 50 meters from the boat, and I was grateful for the generous spirit of the whales.

After seeing the whales perfectly, we returned to the harbor and were thrilled to also see a turtle swimming smoothly beside the boat during the 4-hour trip!

By the way, I spoke with someone who booked a tour with meals included after disembarking, and they mentioned that during their meal, there was an announcement saying, "A whale has appeared over there," so they kept going back and forth and hardly got to eat, nor did they see the whales. Announcements are made after a whale has already appeared. I think it’s unlikely you’ll see them if you run over after hearing the announcement... it seems like you have a higher chance of spotting them by focusing your eyes on the spouts yourself. Also, I wouldn’t really recommend it for children. Since you can’t approach the whales (but it’s okay if they come close), the whales are far away, and I wonder if they understand when you say, "Over there!"... Many kids seemed to get bored and fussy.

It might be good to participate with the mindset of "If we see them, great; if not, we’ll cruise around Waikiki and Diamond Head." That said, it was fantastic as a cruise! Whether you see whales or not might be a matter of luck, but it was a fun experience worth more than the price♪ I highly recommend it for those going to Hawaii during whale season!

ホノルル近郊だし見れたらラッキーくらいで、見れなかったらクルージングとして楽しもうと予約。
船の停泊している港にはカラフルな魚がいるので乗船前にぜひ見てください!黄色や青の大小さまざまな魚でちょっとテンション上がります

食事無しの人達は3階へ誘導され出港前にクジラや船の説明をされますが、すべて英語だし特に聞いても聞かなくても…という内容。後ほど日本語で書かれた説明ファイルがステージに置かれるので、それで十分。時間があるので、持ってきたおむすびやパンで朝食をしている方が結構いました。朝も早いのでここで食事で十分かも

出港してしまえば自由行動なのでさっそく展望フロアの4階へ。出港して30分、アラモアナが見えてきた頃船と並走するようにイルカが!!!
20頭ほどのイルカにみんなで大興奮!!船と並走したりちょっと離れて飛んだりまた近づいてきたり・・・これだけで値段以上のいいものが見れた気がしてすでに大満足w

45分ほどするとダイアモンドヘッド沖まで来て停泊。ここでクジラを探すとアナウンスが。
が、アナウンス中にすでに潮吹きが見れ、目を凝らしてると大きな尻尾!
ちょっと遠くでしたがバッチリ見れました!
そこからは1時間半ほど動いたり停まったりしながらクジラを探してましたが、15回以上は見れて感動!最後には船から50m先くらいにのんびりと親子で泳ぐクジラまで見れ、サービス精神旺盛なクジラに感謝です

ばっちりクジラを見て港へ帰還中、船の横をすぃーっと泳ぐカメまで見れて感動の4時間でした!!

ちなみに下船後食事つきのツアーで申し込んだ方と話したのですが、食事してる時に「あっちにクジラが出た」とアナウンスがかかるため、見に行ったり戻ったりで食事もほぼ出来なかったし、クジラも見れなかったと。
クジラが出る度にアナウンスはかかるのですが、クジラが「出た」あとにかかります。アナウンスを聞いてからそっちへ走ってもほぼ見れないと思います…自分で目を凝らして潮吹きを探した方が確立高いような気がします。
あと、お子様にもあんまりおススメできないかも。クジラに近寄ってはいけない為(クジラが近寄ってくるのはOK)、クジラは遠くだし、「あそこあそこ!」と言ってもわかってるかなぁ・・・って感じです。結構飽きちゃってグズッてるお子様多数でした

「見れたらラッキー、見れなかったらワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドを巡るクルージング」として参加してみたらいいかな。
とは言え、クルージングとしても最高!見れるか見れないかは運かもしれないけど、お値段以上の楽しい体験でした♪
クジラのいる時期にハワイへ行く方にはかなり!おススメです!

Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the experience.

As you mentioned, there are days when the whales are very active and other days when they are more relaxed, so we believe that keeping an eye out for them will give you the best chance to see them at the right moment.

Regarding meals, please note that outside food and drinks are not permitted on board. Recently, the Aloha Tower Marketplace, where the ship departs, has been renovated, and there is now a small supermarket where you can purchase snacks and bento. Additionally, there are open-air tables within the Aloha Tower Marketplace, so if you have booked a cruise without a meal, you might enjoy a light breakfast there before your cruise.

On sunny days, especially in the morning, the cruise is particularly pleasant, so we hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back!

The ship and crew are lovely and we saw a pod of 3 whales come up 3 times, but it felt too brief. We were in one location the whole time and before you knew it we were heading back. Maybe thats what all whale watching tours are like. If there was a longer option I'd do that next time.

This time, unfortunately, I couldn't encounter any whales, but I was surprised by the differences in the plan's content. Despite paying a bit more for a tour that was supposed to have Japanese guidance, there was only an English explanation. Additionally, even though iced tea was listed as a beverage, it wasn't available, and I was told that while there was Japanese tea, it would be at an extra charge. I almost want a refund because, in a way, it was a memorable tour.

今回、残念ながらホエールには遭遇出来なかったんですが、それよりプランの内容に違いがありビックリしました。少し高いお金を払い日本語案内があるものを選んだにも関わらず英語オンリーの解説しかなくしかも飲み物にアイスティーが記載されているにも関わらず用意がなく日本茶なら有料だがあるとの返答。料金を返金してもらいたいぐらいある意味心に残るツアーでした。

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。

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。

This time, I participated with my parents and my husband, making a group of four. Even my parents, who usually complain a lot, were excited for their first countdown and had a great time.
We reserved a window seat with sparkling wine, and that was a great choice!
The food was also impressive, with a magnificent lobster and tender steak. I was very satisfied!

今回は両親と主人と4人での参加でした。文句の多い両親も、初めてのカウントダウンにテンション上がり、とても楽しんでくれました。
スパークリングを頼んでの、窓際席を予約しましたが、それが良かったです!
お料理も、立派なロブスターに柔らかいステーキ。大満足でした!

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。

It was different from the image; I could barely see something that looked like a whale in the distance. I probably won't go again. It's a shame.

なんとか見える感じでした

False advertising 宣伝に偽り

Reviewed by: ナイちゃん

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.

期待してホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
選んだ最大の理由は、日本語解説があるとあったからです。
ところが、いざ参加してみますと、日本語解説一切なしでした。
意味不明、どこが日本語解説なのか、カタログなのか探しましたが、わかりませんでした。

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。

I was told that breakfast was not allowed on this course. It wasn't particularly extravagant, so I don't think it was a waste, but the sign was misleading.

このコースでは朝食を食べてはいけないと言われました。別に豪勢な料理でも無かったので勿体無いとは思いませんが、看板に偽りありでした。
