I took TheBus to the meeting point. A round trip costs $7 (you can ride all day for $7). It's necessary to check how to ride TheBus and the routes in advance (you can find bus stop information on Google). Upon arriving at the meeting point, you will present your voucher (sent via email after booking) for check-in.
Once on board, there was an all-you-can-eat and drink option for fruit cake and coffee (though I couldn't eat that much). As for finding whales, the spouting is a key indicator. I witnessed spouting several times, but they rarely appeared on the surface. I participated with the last attached photo in mind, but this time, we only managed to see the tail fin during the watching experience.
集合場所にはTheBusで行きました。往復$7でOKです(一日$7で乗り放題なので)。TheBusの乗り方や経路(Googleでバス停が案内可能です)の調べ方は事前に確認が必要です。集合場所に到着するとバウチャー(予約完了後にメールで送られる)を提示して受付となります。
乗船後はフルーツケーキやコーヒーなどは食べ放題、飲み放題でした(そんなに食べられませんが)。クジラの探し方としては、潮吹きが目印となります。何回か潮吹きを目撃しましたが、海上に現れることは少なかったです。添付の最後の写真をイメージして参加しましたが、今回は尾びれを確認できる程度のウォッチング結果でした。
クジラが見られない場合は(どの程度かグレーですが)、再度参加可能とのこと。目撃できるかはタイミングしかないので、祈るしかないですね。

The purpose was to see whales, but they were hard to find. Even when I did spot them, I could only see their spouts and a bit of their backs from a distance. It's understandable since it's nature, but later I was able to see the spouts from the hotel balcony as well.
クジラ見る目的なのだが、なかなか見つからなかった。見つけても遠くに潮吹きとわずかに背中が見える程度だった。自然が相手なので仕方ないが、後でホテルのベランダからも潮吹きは見れました。
When the weather is nice, you need to be careful about sunburn. Since you'll be looking for whales outside, there is little shade.
天気が良いと日焼けに注意が必要です。外でクジラを探すので日陰は少ないです。

It was amazing to have a drink included, and we could freely take and eat snacks. Above all, we saw so many whales and dolphins! We were the only Japanese people on board, but on the contrary, all the other passengers were really lively, and it was a lot of fun.
We saw whales jumping with their calves and slapping their tails on the water's surface many times, and the guide even said, "This is the best whale watching ever," so we were very satisfied. Additionally, they delayed our return to the harbor so we could see the sunset without any obstructions, which was perfect.
If you're going to Hawaii during whale season, I definitely recommend this!
I also saw reviews about feeling seasick, but we were fine. Some people might need motion sickness medication, but it seems that those who are relatively strong don't have any issues.
ワンドリンク付き、スナック菓子も自由に取って食べられて、何よりクジラとイルカがたくさん見られて最高でした!
日本人は私達だけでしたが、逆に乗客がみんなノリが良くとっても楽しかったです。
クジラは親子でジャンプしているところや尻尾を水面に打ち付けているところが何度も沢山見られて、ガイドの人も「今までで最高のホエールウォッチングだ」と言っているほどで、非常に満足しました。
また、夕陽が沈むのを最後まで見られるように予定時間よりも遅めに帰港してくれたので、サンセットも遮るものなくバッチリ見られました。
クジラのシーズンにハワイに行くならぜひおすすめします!
酔うという口コミも見ましたが、私達は大丈夫でした。人によっては酔い止めがあるのかもしれませんが、割と強い人は無くて大丈夫そうです。

The weather was clear on the day of the trip, and I was a bit worried about whether we would be able to see whales, but there was no need for concern as we were able to see whales multiple times!
Onboard, we enjoyed cake for our meal, along with drinks like coffee and tea, making for a thoroughly satisfying two hours.
Not only did we see whales that day, but we also spotted dolphins, and we were able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea, making it a valuable experience that went beyond just whale watching.
The energetic staff shared their knowledge about whales after we set sail and provided many interesting facts during the whale watching, which deepened my understanding of these magnificent creatures.
I definitely want to participate again the next time I visit Honolulu!
当日は快晴で、鯨もちゃんと見られるか少し心配していましたが、心配の必要が無かったくらいに何回もクジラを見ることができました!
船内ではケーキの食事や、コーヒーやお茶などの飲み物も飲むことができて、2時間たっぷりと満足することができました。
当日はクジラだけでなく、イルカも見ることができましたし、海からのワイキキの景色も堪能することができ、ホエールウォッチングにとどまらない貴重な体験をすることができました。
元気なスタッフさんたちが出航してからクジラについての知識や、ホエールウォッチング中もたくさんのクジラに対する豆知識を教えてくださり、とてもクジラに対する造詣を深めることができました。

The ship provided light snacks (coffee, tea, pineapple cake). The pineapple cake was delicious. The actual sailing time was about 2 hours. On this day, we were able to see two humpback whales. The whales came to the surface and spouted water at intervals of about 10 to 15 minutes, so I enjoyed chatting with the foreign people next to me (although I only understood about one-third of the conversation).
I didn't feel much movement while the ship was moving, but when the ship was stopped during whale watching, there was some rocking, so I think those who are prone to seasickness might need motion sickness medication. When the ship returned to the port, there were a few people on board celebrating their birthdays, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday," which felt very international and was really nice.
船内は軽食付き(コーヒー、紅茶、パイナップルケーキ)です。パイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。実際の乗船時間は2時間ほど。この日はザトウクジラを2頭見ることができました。クジラは約10〜15分間隔で水面上に来て潮吹きをしていたので、横の海外の人と談笑しながら楽しみました。(言葉は1/3程度しか理解できなかったですが、)
船が動いているときはそこまで感じなかったですが、ホエールウォッチング中の船が止まっているときは船揺れがあったりするので酔いに弱い人は酔い止めが必要かと思います。船が港へ戻る時に船内で誕生日だった人が数名いて、みんなでハッピーバースデーの歌を歌ってお祝いしていたのが海外らしくてとてもよかったです。
This time, I participated in February. When the sun is shining, a short-sleeved shirt is usually fine, but in shaded areas, on the boat, or inside the bus, there were moments when the wind was strong
今回は2月の参加でした。日差しが射すところだと基本半袖ですが、影がかかる場所、船内、バス車内は風が強かったり空調が効きすぎたりする場面があり羽織れる上着が一枚あれば良いかと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise as a couple. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and interacting with international guests. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

Sunset sailing was my first experience, but thanks to the lively and very friendly crew, I had a wonderful time. The person at the front can get splashed with water due to the waves, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.
サンセットセーリングは初めての体験でしたが、ノリがよくとても親切なクルーの方のお陰で素晴らしい時間が過ごせました。
先頭の人は水しぶきがかかるくらい揺れたりするので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
As noted in the precautions, you will be submerged in water up to your knees when boarding, so it's advisable to wear short pants. If you want to drink alcohol, I also recommend bringing your passport
注意事項にもある通り、乗船時に膝下まで水に浸かるのでちゃんと丈の短いボトムスで行くこと、お酒も飲みたい人はパスポートも持っていくこと(私も20代後半ですが提示を求められました)をお勧めします。
私たちと一緒に航海していただき、体験を共有してくださり、ありがとうございます!初めてのサンセットクルーズが素晴らしいものだったと聞いて、とても嬉しいです。また、私たちのフレンドリーなクルーがその思い出作りに貢献できたことも嬉しく思います。波が高くなるとサンセットセーリングは少し冒険的になりますので、乗り物酔いの薬についてのアドバイスは的確です—その情報を共有してくださり、ありがとうございます!海の風と素晴らしい景色がすべてを価値あるものにしてくれたことを願っています。また、忘れられない航海のために、ぜひ再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。
Thank you so much for sailing with us and sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your first sunset cruise was a wonderful one, and that our friendly crew helped make it memorable. Sunset sailing can be a bit adventurous when the waves pick up, so your tip about motion sickness medication is spot-on—thank you for passing that along! We hope the ocean breeze and stunning views made it all worthwhile, and we'd love to welcome you aboard again soon for another unforgettable ride.

We were able to participate with our small child, and it was a fun boat experience without any significant rocking of the boat. The interior of the boat was clean and spacious, providing a calm atmosphere along with light snacks and drinks.
At first, we had a brief explanation about whales on the first floor and enjoyed some snacks, after which we were free to move up to the fourth floor to look for whales and enjoy the view from the boat.
Although we weren't able to see any whales this time, we received a ticket to board again during this season. The crew members were all very kind, making for a delightful boat trip.

Due to the high waves that started midway, there was no snack distribution. I had planned to go get a drink when the snacks were handed out, so I couldn't go. When I stopped by the bar counter upon disembarking, there were no staff present, and there were only a few snacks in a basket that people who noticed helped themselves to. The drinks were just a display of cans... If the distribution was canceled due to the high waves, I would have appreciated it if someone had been at the bar counter during disembarkation to hand them out. In the end, I wasn't able to receive the limited-time drink benefit. I noticed that some people didn't tip at all, so I wondered if that might have affected the service. Although I didn't see any whales, I had a great time seeing a lot of dolphins, which made the lack of service feel like a missed opportunity.
途中から波が高くなったせいかスナックの配布がなかった。スナック配布されたらドリンクを取りに行くつもりにしていたので行けず。下船時にバーカウンターに寄りましたが、スタッフ不在、スナックが少しだけカゴに入って置いていたので気づいた人が自ら取っていました。
ドリンクは缶の見本が並べてあっただけ…。高波で配布を見送ったのなら、下船時にバーカウンターにいて頂いて、お渡しして欲しかったです。結局期間限定特典のドリンクは受け取れずじまいでした。
チップを全く入れてない人もいたので、こういうことも影響しているのではないかと思いました。
クジラは見れませんでしたがイルカがたくさん見れて楽しかっただけに、サービスがもったいなく感じました。
For the 10:30 flight, if the weather is clear, the sunlight can be quite strong, so I think it's a good idea to have sunscreen and a light jacket.

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I’m really glad I chose this place for dinner on Friday. The cruise lasted from just after 5 PM to just after 8 PM, and I opted for the three-course meal. The lobster in the course was, of course, delicious, and there was live music and a show throughout the cruise, making it lively and never boring.
Additionally, from the ship, I could see the sunset over Diamond Head, and after the sun went down, the night views of Honolulu and Waikiki were spectacular. Especially on Fridays, fireworks are launched from Waikiki Beach, offering an exceptional night view.

I participated in a sunset cruise. It departs from the yacht harbor in Waikiki and returns in about an hour and a half, making it easy to join. On the day I went, I could see the whales' spouts and tails far off in the distance, but the crew did their best to keep things lively and entertaining. Since it's nature, whether you get to see the whales up close is a matter of luck.

On this day, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was a strong wind. It started to rain midway, and by the time we disembarked, there was a full-blown storm. Perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high and there were whitecaps, making it difficult to spot whales. However, there were several announcements on the ship about whale sightings, and my husband and I were able to see a spout once each. A few Japanese passengers who were on board with us also mentioned they saw a spout just once. Does seeing a spout mean you've seen a whale? I wonder if it was the right decision to set sail in that weather. If asked whether I would like to go again, I would say I do not want to. Even if the weather were good, it seems there is a set distance from which you can approach the whales, so I think it would be difficult to actually see the whales themselves. The coffee and light snacks were delicious (although the boat rocked so much that the coffee spilled...).
この日は空一面の雲に強い風、途中から雨が降り始め、下船するころには大嵐になっていました。強い風のためか波が高く白波が立ち、クジラ発見には難しい条件だったと思いますが、船内に何回かクジラ発見の放送が流れ、私たち夫婦は潮吹きを1度づつ見ることができました。一緒に乗っていた日本の方たち数人も潮吹きを1度だけ見たと言っていました。潮吹きを見たらクジラを見たことになるのか?あの天候で船を出すことは正解なのか?疑問です。また乗ってみたいかと言われれば、もう乗りたくありません。天候が良かったとしても、クジラに近寄れる距離が決まっているらしく、クジラ本体を見ることは難しいのではないかと思いました。コーヒーと軽食は美味しかったです(コーヒーがこぼれるほど揺れましたが・・・)

This was my first time on board. I was planning to use a taxi for the round trip, but considering the time and location for the return, I became anxious and decided to book a shuttle service on the same day. I highly recommend it for efficiency! I made the reservation by phone, and they have Japanese-speaking support.
It seems that the meals vary depending on the deck. Once on board, there was singing, dining, and we ended with a fantastic fireworks display.
The welcome drink and the beer I ordered felt a bit slow to arrive. There might be an imbalance between the number of customers and the staff or facilities.
I ended up feeling seasick partway through and could only eat a little (which was disappointing), but it became a great memory!

Since it was a tour involving nature, I thought I wouldn't know if I would see anything until it was over, but in the end, I had a wonderful experience. I understood that we couldn't get too close to the whales and would only be able to see them from a distance, but the whales came close to us, and I was able to see them up very close.
I participated in early February, and there were many whales. I was moved by how many there were. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone whose timing aligns.
自然が相手のツアーなので、見れるかどうか終わってみないとわからないなぁ、と思っていましたが、結果、素晴らしい経験ができました。くじらにはあまり近づけないとのことで、遠くからしか見られないのは仕方ないと思っていましたが、クジラが近づいてきてくれて、ものすごく近くで見ることが出来ました。

I was worried, but I'm glad I was able to see the whales properly. The explanations in Japanese were easy to understand. I recommend it.
心配でしたが、クジラがちゃんと見られてよかったです。日本語の説明もあって分かりやすかったです。オススメです。
It's stable, so it's fine.
揺れないので大丈夫です。

I participated in the whale watching tour on the Star of Honolulu with a pickup from Waikiki (with snacks and drinks included). There were many participants on the large boat. Even though it was the rainy season in February, we were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the views of the blue sky and the deep blue sea from the boat. We also saw whales multiple times, including some mother and calf pairs, and got to witness them spouting water. It was a very satisfying whale watching experience. If you're coming to Waikiki, I highly recommend you join this tour!
ワイキキ送迎を付けてホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号(軽食&ドリンク付き)に参加しました。
大型船で参加者もたくさんいました。
雨季の2月での参加でしたがお天気にも恵まれ、青く晴れた空と真っ青な海が広がる船からの景色を楽しめました。
またクジラも何度も現れて潮吹きも何度も見られました。
親子のクジラも現れ大満足のホエールウォッチングになりました。
ワイキキに来る方はぜひ参加してみてください!オススメです!

I participated in a trip with my mother and daughter. We arrived at Aloha Tower right at 8:00, but we couldn't board immediately and had to wait outside. The port's restroom was locked and unavailable for use.
The large ship has four decks, and after boarding, there was an explanation of whale watching in English, along with the offering of pineapple banana bread, coffee, tea, and water. I recommend going to get your food early as there is a line.
It took a while before we spotted any whales, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making the cruise satisfying. After a while, we saw a whale spouting water, and we could see its tail and dorsal fin. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any big jumps.
The trip was on a Saturday, and we were able to disembark around 11:00, which allowed us to take a taxi to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market.
母、娘の二人旅で参加しました。
8時ちょうどにアロハタワーに着きましたがすぐには乗船できず外で待ち時間がありました。港のトイレは鍵が掛かっており利用できませんでした。
4階まである大きな船で、乗船後英語でホエールウォッチングの説明がありパイナップルバナナブレッドとコーヒー・紅茶・お水の提供があります。並ぶので早めに取りに行くことをおすすめします。
沖へ出るまでなかなかくじらは現れなかったですが、海から見えるワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドが美しくクルーズとして満足できました。
しばらくすると潮を吹いているクジラがおり、尾びれや背びれが見えました。残念ながら大ジャンプは見られませんでした。
参加日は土曜日で、11時頃には下船できたのでタクシーでカカアコファーマーズマーケットへ行く事ができました。
Sunscreen is essential because I get sunburned.
日焼けするので日焼け止め必須です
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your daughter and mother. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. We hope to see you again next time, and it would be wonderful to witness a whale jump. We look forward to welcoming you back.

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I appreciated that this boat is large and has minimal rocking. We encountered whales a few times (and dolphins too). They explain which direction to look by comparing it to a clock, which makes it easy to understand. I also thought it was a nice cruise to see Waikiki and Diamond Head. However, since we didn't see the whales up very close, it's better not to have too high expectations in that regard.
乗り物酔いしやすい体質なので、こちらの船は大きく、揺れが少ないのがよかったです
クジラには何回か遭遇できました(イルカにも)
時計に例えてどっちの方角にいるかいってくださるのでわかりやすいです
ワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドをみるクルージングとしてもありだと思いました
クジラはすごく近くで見られた訳ではないので、その辺は期待しすぎない方がよいです

The experience of watching fireworks from the cruise became an unforgettable part of my trip to Hawaii. I recommend participating on days when fireworks are scheduled. I had a great trip while enjoying delightful Hawaiian music.

It was unfortunate that we encountered wind and rain during the rainy season.
First, everyone freely brought pineapple banana cake, coffee, and tea from the front of the first floor and enjoyed them at their seats. The cinnamon-flavored pineapple banana cake was very delicious.
After that, we listened to an explanation about whales using a translation app on our phones. We were then allowed to move freely up to the fourth floor of the ship, so we carefully made our way to the top observation deck and enjoyed the view.
Fortunately, the rain wasn't too heavy, so we were able to enjoy the scenery of Honolulu. We could see Diamond Head and the cityscape from the sea side. It was particularly meaningful for me since I had hiked up Diamond Head the day before on the same optional tour with Veltra, which took about 30 minutes.
The waves were high, and although we couldn't see the whales, we were able to spot their spouts several times. We saw the spouts relatively close by, and all the passengers were excitedly pointing at them. If the weather had been better, we might have seen even more.
The shuttle service was only available in the morning, allowing us to spend the afternoon leisurely, which was nice.
雨季の風と雨の日に当たってしまったのが残念でした。
まずは各自、自由に一階前方にあるパイナップルバナナケーキやコーヒー、紅茶を持って来て、座席で頂きました。シナモンの効いたパイナップルバナナケーキはとても美味しかったです。
そのあとクジラについての説明を携帯の翻訳アプリを使って聞きました。その後は船の4階まで自由に移動してよいとのことだったので、船の揺れに気をつけながら最上の展望階に上がり、眺めていました。
ただ雨は大半は大丈夫だったので、ホノルルの風景は楽しめました。ダイヤモンドヘッドや街並が海から側から眺められます。ダイヤモンドヘッドは前日同じベルトラさんのオプショナルツアーで、30分かけて登った後だったので感慨深いものがありました。
波が高く、クジラは姿は確認出来なかったのですが、潮吹きを何度か見られました。割と近くで何度か潮吹きが見られたので、乗船客の皆んなが指を差して盛り上がっていました。天候に恵まれれば更に良く見えたかもしれません。
送迎付きは午前中だけで体験できるので、午後も有効にゆったり過ごせるので楽でした。
If you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.
船酔いする方は酔いどめがあった方が良いかもしれません。

If you can't see the whales (it's a bit unclear how often that happens), you can participate again. Whether you can spot them depends on timing, so all you can do is hope.
