Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Extremely Disappointing!

Reviewed by: Jeff

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.

Great experience fireworks cruise

Reviewed by: Vicki

Were initially concerned when we saw the cat and number of people going on the cruise however once on board there was ample room. We both had great time the cruise was smooth and fireworks excellent, the crew entertaining and efficient certainly looked after everyone on board. Would recommend it if you want to experience something a little different and have some fun. May not appeal to everyone as there was a bit of drinking but nothing offensive. Well done!

I was nervous about whether we would actually get to see it, but we were able to see it clearly, and the kids were thrilled! Even if we hadn't seen it, I felt that cruising would have been enough, so I'm really glad we participated.

実際に見れるかドキドキでしたが、しっかりと見ることができて子供も大喜びでした!
見れなくてもクルージングできればいっかという感じでしたので本当に参加して良かったです。

I was very satisfied! 大満足でした!

Reviewed by: ぴくしぃ

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。
子供たちも親も大興奮でツアーを終えることが出来ました。

Reviewed by: ことり

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.

Fireworks Cruise 花火クルーズ

Reviewed by: yumi

I experienced this on the same day I arrived in Hawaii.

First, the meeting point was hard to find (there are quite a few similar boats), so I walked quite a bit on Waikiki Beach. You enter the water when boarding. There is a risk of sandals without heels being swept away (a child's sandal was lost).

With unlimited drinks and loud music, I thought it might be a young crowd, but families with children were also there, and other guests were friendly and chatted with us (though it might depend on the boat). We had a great time. There were no other Japanese people besides us.

Although it's always summer in Hawaii, the night cruise was cold. I recommend bringing a jacket.

I was hesitant to use the restroom, but I couldn't hold it due to the cold and ended up using it. It's an interesting restroom that you enter by going down a ladder. It's very cramped, and I didn't know how to lock it. It wasn't too dirty, and the smell wasn't bothersome.

The fireworks viewed from the sea were exceptional. The night view was also very beautiful, but the ocean was pitch dark.

Next time, I would like to try the sunset cruise as well.

ハワイに到着したその日に体験しました。
まず、集合場所がわかりづらく(同じような船がけっこうある)ワイキキビーチをかなり歩きました。乗船する際に海に入ります。かかとのないサンダルは流される危険ありです(子供のサンダルが流されました。)
お酒飲み放題で音楽がガンガンかかっていて、若者のノリかとも思いましたが、子連れファミリーでもほかのお客さんが気さくに話しかけてくれたり(その時の船によるでしょうが)、とても楽しめました。日本人は私たち以外にはいませんでした。
常夏のハワイですが、ナイトクルーズは寒かったです。上着を持つことをお勧めします。
トイレはなるべく使用したくないな~と思っていましたが、冷えのせいか我慢できず使用しました。梯子を下りて入る面白いトイレです。とにかく狭い。鍵のかけかたがわからない。それほど汚くはなくにおいも気になりませんでした。
海から見る花火は格別でした。夜景もとてもきれいでしたが、海は真っ暗です。
次回はサンセットクルーズも乗ってみたいです。

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.

Reviewed by: alfa75

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。

日本人は少なかったです。

ピックアップが7時頃でしたので、昼食は部屋で取りました。

The food was disappointing!! 料理が残念!!

Reviewed by: M.O

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。

Reviewed by: yoaki

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.

憧れのスターオブホノルル号に乗車します(^ ^)とっても綺麗な大きい船でトイレもすごく綺麗で快適です^ ^

ビュッフェ付きにしましたが、当日にプラス1人12ドルで料理を追加できるとのことでした(*^◯^*)ブュッフェもとても美味しくてウインナーは何回もおかわりしました(^ ^)♡
飲み物も充実していますし、お金を出せば美味しいお酒も買えます!
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!!
しかも英語で説明されるので日本語しかわからない我々はどこでチケットをもらっていいかわからず戸惑いました。
チケットをもらわずわからないまま帰宅した方も大勢おられたようでした。

もう少し日本語ができるスタッフがいてくれると助かると思います。

At the very last moment, a whale appeared.
I wondered if it would show up again.
The moment I tried to go inside the boat,

it spouted!
It appeared.
Thank you, whale.

I couldn't take a photo of the whale.

最後の最後にクジラあらわる。
もうあらわれないかな?
船内に入ろうした瞬間、

潮吹き!
出現。
ありがとう クジラさん

クジラの写真は撮れませんでした。

I was able to see the jump! ジャンプが見れました❇

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。

I was able to encounter a whale! The explanations were thorough, and they were very kind when I forgot something. It was a great experience. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

クジラには、なんとか遭遇できました!
説明もしっかりしてくださったし、
忘れ物をしてしまった時の対応も親切でしたし、
とても良かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: mas

I used it on the last day in Hawaii. It was much more comfortable than I expected, with very little rocking. However, since there are no walls on the yacht, it can get cold when the wind blows, so I recommend preparing warm clothing.

ハワイ最終日に利用させていただきました。
予想していたほど揺れはなく、非常に快適でした。
ただ、ヨットには壁等はなく、風が吹くと寒いので、
防寒着だけはしっかり用意した方が良いと思います。

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。

A leisurely and luxurious time! ゆっくり贅沢な時間!

Reviewed by: かおり

I searched for a short cruise without meals and participated. The weather was nice that day, so it wasn't too cold in the evening, and the scenery was amazing! I could see Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach from the sea, and even a whale spouting in the distance! It was the perfect cruise that I could join between daytime activities and dinner time, yet it felt relaxed and enjoyable! This time, it was just the two of us, but next time I want to encourage our kids to join as well!

短時間で乗れる食事の付かないクルーズをさがして参加しました。
当日お天気が良かったため、夕方からもそれほど寒くなく、景色が最高でした!
ダイヤモンドヘッド、海からのワイキキビーチ、遠くにクジラが潮を吹いているのも見えました!
昼間の遊びの時間と晩御飯の時間の間に参加出来る、しかし、ゆったりした最高のクルーズでした!
今回は夫婦2人の参加でしたが、次回は子供たちにも参加を勧めたいと思っています!

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。
