I had never visited Hawaii during the winter season, so I was looking forward to whale watching. The boat was large and more than adequate, but since it carried many passengers, I wished they had made some efforts to gather information about the whales in advance with smaller boats, so that the guests could enjoy the experience more. Because the boat was so big, it couldn't maneuver easily, and while the captain was likely focused on finding the whales, I felt there could have been a bit more creativity in their approach. Additionally, they offered tickets for another trip if we didn't see any whales, but since the validity period was only until March, it limits those who can return to Hawaii soon. I think at least a one-year validity would be more reasonable. I was also told that the only time available for a second trip was the same morning time, but if they truly wanted to provide good service, they should accommodate afternoon times as well. Everyone has their schedules set while in Hawaii, so I believe that kind of flexibility is necessary.
冬の時期にハワイを訪れたことがなかったので、ホエールウォッチングは楽しみにしていました。船は大きく申し分ありませんでしたが、乗船客もたくさん乗せているので、鯨がいくら自然の生き物であっても、先に小さめの船で鯨の情報を集めておくとか、少しでもお客さんが楽しめるように工夫をしてほしかったです。船が大きいために、小回りが利かないし、船長も鯨を求めて操縦しているのでしょうけれども、もう少し工夫ができるのではないかと感じてしまいました。さらに、鯨に会えなかったら、再度乗船できるチケットを配っていましたが、乗船できる期間も3月まででは、もう一度ハワイにすぐ来れる人は限られてしまうので、せめて有効期限は1年間にしてほしいと思います。乗船できる時間も朝の同じ時間しか無理だと言われましたが、本当に再度乗船してほしいというサービス精神があるのならば、午後の時間でも対応してほしいです。みんな、それなりにハワイでのスケジュールが決まっていると思うので、そのくらいの対応は必要だと思います。

On the first day of this tour, we didn't see any whales at all. We were in the afternoon group, but it seems the morning group had the same experience. We just ended up enjoying a leisurely cruise.
このツアーが始まった初日だったせいか、クジラの姿は、全く見られませんでした。私たちは、昼からだったのですが、午前の部も同様だったそうです。ゆったりクルージングを楽しんだだけで終わりました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
In the past, there have been seasons where whales could be seen from the first day, but unfortunately, we were unable to see them this time.
We do provide re-boarding tickets in case whales are not observed, but we sincerely apologize to customers who may not have the opportunity to return during their trip.
Please do come back to Hawaii to search for whales again.
All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

At the beginning of the tour, I saw a glimpse of a whale's tail, but after that, nothing at all. It started to rain, which was a bit disappointing. Well, since it's nature, I guess there's nothing you can do about it.
ツアーのはじめの方で、クジラのしっぽが少し見えたのですが、その後は全く。雨も降ってきてしまい、ちょっと残念な結果でした。ま、自然相手なので、仕方ないかな、と思います。

I was able to see the whale perfectly. I'm also satisfied with the ray I created. However, I was surprised by how expensive the parking fee was.

Parking fees will be charged according to the pricing structure of the Aloha Tower Marketplace parking lot.

It might be a good idea to check for parking options near Aloha Tower in advance.

The cruising this time was blessed with good weather, and we even encountered whales off the coast of Diamond Head, making it the best event. My family who participated together was very satisfied. I understood that the limited variety of food at the buffet was acceptable given that it was on a ship. I also appreciated the somewhat hesitant Japanese explanations. After the whale encounter, there were activities on board like hula dance lessons, ukulele lessons, and lei-making experiences, ensuring that passengers were not bored, which made for a fun time.
今回のクルージングでは好天に恵まれ、またダイヤモンドヘッド沖でクジラにも遭遇でき、最高のイベントとなりました。
一緒に参加した家族も大満足です。
ビュッフェでの料理で食材の種類が限られるのも、船内でのビュッフェということで納得。
たどたどしい日本語の解説も好感が持てました。
クジラとの遭遇が終わった後も、船内ではフラダンス講習、ウクレレ講習、レイの手作り体験等、乗客が退屈しないような取組みがされており、楽しい一時でした。

I was eager to partake in the Whale Watching Cruise, my husband joined in because he knew it was something I was keen on doing. I had high hopes & admittedly was disappointed. We saw numerous 'blows' but from a great distance, two flukes & one dorsal, again pretty far away. I realize there is no guarantees ~ I guess my expectations were unrealistic & the boat could not get too close for the safety of these beautiful animals.
I found it interesting & sad that family groups on the tour often were too busy on their iPhones, Game Boys etc., to bother going on deck ~ why did you come?? Leave the electronics at home & enjoy nature!!

We took a dinner cruise on the last night to celebrate my parents' 60th birthday and wedding anniversary.
First, we were welcomed with a welcome drink, ukulele music, and hula dancing as we boarded the ship. The staff's service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese.
During the vow renewal, the captain acted as the officiant, offering congratulatory words and reciting the vows of love. We brought leis in advance and exchanged them with my parents. It was a wonderful experience to reaffirm their love and support for each other.
After us, a young foreign couple also had a vow renewal ceremony. Following that, we enjoyed champagne while taking photos with the captain and our family. The sunset was incredibly romantic.
The food was average, but the champagne included in the package, as well as the cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails available with coupons, were very Hawaiian and delicious. The jazz performance was lovely as well.
It might be a good idea to take something for motion sickness. We used a limousine for transportation. Since we don't usually ride in limousines in Japan, it was a great experience.
Although the price is a bit high, it was perfect for the celebration, and my parents were very happy.
両親の還暦祝いと結婚記念日祝いの為、最終日の夜にディナークルーズを利用させていただきました。
まずウェルカムドリンクとウクレレ、フラダンスに迎えられ、船に乗り込みます。
スタッフのサービスも良かったです。日本語が出来るスタッフもいました。
バウリニューアルでは、キャプテンが結婚式の神父様の役割をしてくださり、お祝いの言葉と、愛の誓いを言ってくれます。
レイは事前に用意して行き、両親に交換してもらいました。これからも愛し合い、助け合って行くことを再認識できるので、とても良かったと思います。
私たちの後に、若い外国の方がバウリニューアルしていました。
その後シャンパンを飲みながらキャプテンと家族で写真を撮ってもらえます。
サンセットはとてもロマンチックでした。
料理は普通でしたが、パックについていたシャンパンや、クーポンで飲むことが出来るカクテル、ノンアルコールカクテルがハワイらしく、味もとても美味しかったです。
ジャズ演奏もステキでした。
乗り物酔いは飲んだほうが良いかもしれません。

The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience
If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.
Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you
Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.

Our group really enjoyed the cruise. We paid extra for window seating and it was worth it. Otherwise you end up in the middle of the room in the traffic pattern for the buffet. Not alot of variety was offered at the buffet. Limited vegetable and salad options. Dessert Buffet food was also limited. If possible take the Friday night cruise so you can see the fireworks near the Grand Waikikian lagoon. We stayed at the Grand Waikikian so were the second group picked up which meant we were on board the bus for several pick ups. Good thing was being the 2nd stop at the end of the night.

When I watched the countdown fireworks from the deck, there were a lot of people, and everyone counted down together, which was very exciting. The food wasn't particularly delicious, but the atmosphere on the deck was nice. The fireworks viewed from the deck were better than those seen from the beach in Honolulu.

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. I called beforehand and asked what the dress code was, and I was told slacks and a Hawaiian shirt. We complied but were disappointed to see that the majority of the guests were dressed in shorts, tank tops, cut off jeans and generally looked as if they were going to a beach party. Given that we paid over $400 for the dinner with tip I think you should enforce the code. I don't like sloppy people and if you want to maintain a 5-star, 5-course event I would suggest you update your activities page to highlight the dress code. Laid back is one thing, unkempt is another. That aside, the cruise was wonderful, the service great and I would recommend to others and likely do a repeat for us. Thanks again.

On my twelfth trip to Hawaii, I went whale watching for the first time. I had low expectations, thinking it would be nice if we saw some whales. However, the onboard announcements provided updates on whale sightings, and by patiently watching in that direction, I was treated to an emotional sight. I was deeply moved by the sight of the whales spouting water as they swam with their family.

This year, I participated with my parents and children, spanning three generations. Since we had children with us, we decided to join the Honolulu for whale watching, as it seemed that the boat activities were not suitable for them yet. I had heard that the area where whales appear is beyond Hawaii Kai, but it seemed that the Honolulu mainly offered sightseeing, as the tour only went as far as providing a view of Waikiki. If you have the time and are mainly interested in sightseeing, it might be fine, but for those hoping for the kind of whale watching advertised, I think other activities would be better.
今年お正月に両親、子供と3世代で参加しました。
子供がいるため、ホエールウォッチングにはまだボートでのアクティビティは出来そうになかったので
ホノルル号で参加を決めたのですが、
ホエールの現れるエリアはハワイカイより先と聞いておりましたが、ホノルル号は遊覧がメインなのか
ワイキキを見渡せるあたりまでの遊覧でした。
時間があり遊覧をメインとされるのであればいいかと思いますが、宣伝で使ってるようなホエールウォッチングを希望される方は
他のアクティビティがいいかと思いました。

We participated as a family on April 2nd. Since there was no pickup at 8 AM, I was thinking of taking the trolley bus, but it seemed that it wasn't running yet. I heard that I could take the bus, so I waited for the 19 or 20 mentioned in the book, but since I didn't check the schedule, it took a while to arrive. I ended up taking a taxi in a hurry.
The office location was hard to find. I stayed under the Aloha Tower for a while, but since I needed to go to the restroom, I headed towards the large ship and found the office. They take a photo when you board, which costs $18. If the waves are calm, there's no worry about seasickness. You can see the whales' spouts and tails from a distance. They announced that you can only see the high jumps in winter. The kids got bored quickly.
I was able to enjoy a nice nap while being gently hit by the pleasant sea breeze until we returned to the port (laughs). There were a few foreigners eating fruit, so it seems like bringing food is not prohibited...

For customers with transportation included, our staff will guide you from the bus to the ship, while customers without transportation check in directly at the office.
I apologize for any confusion regarding the location, as it seems it was difficult to find, despite the sign for Star of Honolulu being displayed.
Due to Coast Guard regulations, outside food and drinks are prohibited. Our staff is instructed to monitor this, but it seems there were no such issues this time. We will translate your comments into English and forward them to the manager to assist with future staff training.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to observe any whales this time.
During the cruise, we exchange information with other boats to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to see whales.
The whale watch cruise is a limited-time offering from December to April, so the re-boarding tickets we distributed are only valid during that period. We sincerely apologize for travelers who do not have time to re-board.
If you are willing to pay an additional fee for the morning cruise re-boarding ticket, you can also participate in the afternoon cruise, but we apologize for not providing that explanation.
Your valuable feedback will be translated into English and forwarded to each manager to help improve future cruises.
Thank you very much.

今回は鯨をご観測いただけ無かった様で、大変残念に思います。
クルーズ中は他の船との情報交換を行っており、皆様に鯨をご覧いただける様努めております。
ホエールウォッチクルーズは12月から4月までの期間限定のクルーズですので、お配りしている再乗船券はその時期のみ有効となります。再乗船する時間の無いご旅行者の方々には、大変申し訳なく思います。
午前中のクルーズの再乗船件に追加料金をお支払いいただければ午後のクルーズにご参加いただく事もできますが、その説明が無かった様で申し訳ございませんでした。
お客様の貴重なご意見は英訳の上、各マネージャーに転送させて頂き、今後のクルーズの改善に役立たせて頂きます。
誠に有難うございました。
