Oahu
Every time I visit, I ride it!! While it's nice to relax at Waikiki Beach, viewing Waikiki Beach from the water is truly wonderful. The night view from the sunset is worth seeing. (It gets chilly on the water, so women should bring a wrap.)
訪れるたびに毎回乗ります !!
ワイキキビーチでゆっくり過ごすのもいいけれど、海の上からワイキキビーチを眺めるのは本当に素敵。
サンセットからの夜景は一見の価値ありです。
(海上は冷えるので女性は羽織を持った方がいいですよ)
I had heard that it was the season to see a lot of whales, so I was a bit anxious about whether we would see any... but I was very satisfied because we saw plenty. The boat was also large, so I was glad I didn't get seasick. It was great that it was a morning tour, allowing us to return to the hotel around noon, so we could enjoy plenty of activities in the afternoon.
クジラが多く見れる時期と聞いていたので、見れるのかなぁ...と不安でしたが、いっぱい見れて満足でした。
船も大きかったので、船酔いしなくて良かったです。
朝からのツアーで、お昼頃にはホテルに帰ってこれるので、午後にたっぷり遊べるのも良かったです。
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu.
Although the season was coming to an end, it was great to hear that you were able to see many whales.
All of our staff looks forward to your next visit.

I'm glad I got to see wild whales for the first time, but they didn't jump or anything, so I didn't feel much excitement. But I guess that's just how whales are (laughs). They seemed to swim alongside us for a long time, occasionally blowing air and showing their backs. The staff were all very nice, and you could tell they wanted to make it enjoyable for everyone. It's a big boat, so it's less likely to make you seasick, but it's still a good idea to take some motion sickness medication just in case.
野生のクジラを初めて見れてよかったですが、ジャンプなどしてくれるわけでなかったので迫力は感じられませんでした。でもこれはクジラの気分なのでしょうがないです(笑)
ずっと横には泳いでいたようなのですが、時々潮を吹いて背中が見えるくらい。
スタッフはみなさん感じがよく、楽しませようという感じが伝わってきました。
大きい船なので酔いにくいですが、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいた方が安心です。
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu.
I hope you enjoyed the whale watching.
We look forward to your next visit when you come to Hawaii.

We had a great time! The food was good and we loved the view of the ocean. When we first arrived they took a family picture of us. It was nice to have a group picture. :) Even though it was windy that day we still saw some whales. It was amazing to see whales!!! It was too bad that it didn't jump high, but it was still exciting to see their backs and tails. The leis and ukulele class were on at the same time. It did go by fast so we didn't get to join both classes. However, we loved making leis with real flowers!! We had a wonderful experience.
My friend was visiting Oahu for the first time, so I chose this experience thinking we could enjoy various aspects of Hawaiian culture on board. We made leis, danced hula, and played the ukulele. Since it was a weekday, there were no group tours, so we didn't have to wait in long lines for the buffet. Depending on where you sit, it seems you could also see dolphins and whales. It might be worth a visit.
お友達が、オアフ島への訪問が初めてだったので・・船内でハワイの文化を色々体験できると思い選びました。レイを作ったり、フラダンスを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いたり、平日だった為か団体ツアーが入っておらずバイキングでも長蛇の列を並ぶ必要はありませんでした。座る場所次第でイルカやクジラも見えた様です。行ってみても良いかも。

What fun the Waikiki Rigger Catamaran was! We did the Sunset Cocktail Sail. Unlimited drinks... I had their special drink (forgot the name) And it was great! The two young men running the catamaran were fun! They played 80's music and everyone enjoyed themselves. It was a small group so it was not overly crowded. We have nothing bad to say about this excursion. Highly recommended!!!
I went on the Sunset sail, it was Amazing. I enjoyed my sail over Oahu Island. We even saw a whale. Beautiful Hawaii. Mahalo
Everything was well managed even from the purchase on line of tickets. Pickup was on time in topscale bus. Staff was dressed in 1st class attire. Greeting by staff at dock was nice. Seating was fine with exception of sun shining directly in my husband eyes . it was a little distracting. Dinner and the drinks was great, along with the service. The entertainment after dinner was fantastic. Truly, truly mesmerizing.
Would recommend without hesitation.
This was great! A very fun evening cruise with friends during sunset. The mai tais were delicious and staff was friendly and fun. My only complaint is that it seemed too short!
Our cruise was a lot of fun for us all. My son asked to go do it again so we could see more whales. I would definetly do one of these cruises again.
We had a great time on the Star of Honolulu. The ship was comfortable and clean. The rails offered a great platform for picture taking and whale watching. Only minutes out of Honolulu harbor the first whales were sighted. We followed along with them for about 1/2 hour. They would surface every 5 minutes or so. On the way back up to Diamondhead we encountered another pod. After watching them for awhile, it was time for the morning trip to end. All in all... this was one of many highlights for our visit to Oahu.
This cruise was awesome! Booked it as a gift for my boyfriend and we had a blast. The crew was friendly, Ryan helped break the ice with the group. I was especially looking forward to the open bar and was happily surprised by a DELICIOUS specialty cocktail they had pre made. We were lucky enough to see a whale breach not far from us while we were sailing. I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know- such a great way to spend a few hours.
The price for breakfast included for a family of four is cheap, and all the crew members were kind and friendly, which made the children happy. It was a bit disappointing that we were able to see whales a few times and were satisfied, but I think it would have been even better if we could have seen them up close.
家族4人で朝食付きでこの値段は安い、クルーのみんなも優しく親切で子供たちも喜んでいました。ちょっと残念だったのは、クジラは何度か見ることができて満足できたのですが、もっと間近で見れれば最高だと思います。ぬ
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
Due to Hawaiian law, we cannot bring the boat very close to the whales, but on some days, the whales may approach the boat, allowing you to see them up close. We encourage you to try again.
All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

great entertainment and food. it was very enjoyable. the kids loved it.
I tried not to get my hopes up too much, but in the end, I was very satisfied. We were able to see whales up close multiple times, and both the kids and adults were extremely excited. I think luck plays a part, but I can definitely recommend it.
期待し過ぎにないようにしていましたが、結果的にとても満足しました。
肉眼で確認できる距離で何度も鯨を確認でき、子どもも大人も大興奮でした。その日の運もあると思いますが、お勧めできます。

I participated with half expectations, considering it was nature. Although I didn't get to see the jumping whales, I was able to see the magnificent spouts and tails up close, right in front of the deck where I was standing. I was so mesmerized that I forgot to take pictures.
The breakfast was delicious too.
With the blue sky and blue sea, and the Hawaiian music flowing gently inside the boat, I think that alone makes it worth the experience.
自然相手ということもあり、期待半分で参加しました。さすがにジャンプするクジラの姿は見れなかったものの、ちょうど立っていたデッキの真ん前+結構近い距離で、豪快な潮吹きと尾びれを見ることができました。あまりの事に見とれてしまい、写真撮るのを忘れました。w
朝食も美味しかったです。
青い空と青い海。ゆったり船内に流れるハワイアンミュージック。もうそれだけで体験する価値はあるかな、と思います。

I participated with my one-and-a-half-year-old child. I was worried about seasickness, but there was no need to worry about the rocking. My child was delighted to spot a whale and pointed it out! The weather was great, and it was very elegant to look at Waikiki from the sea. We enjoyed the cruise thoroughly. We didn't order breakfast and brought our own bread to eat. Coffee can be purchased on board for $4 if you order it. I'm glad I participated! We drove to the meeting point and were able to park in a nearby parking lot for $5. It was convenient because we could head out right after it was over.
一歳半の子連れで参加しました。
船酔いとかしたら?と心配しましたが、揺れる心配もなく。
子供も鯨を見つけて指差して喜んでいました!!
お天気もよく、海上からワイキキを眺めるのもとっても優雅で。
クルージングとしても十分楽しめました。
朝食は頼まず、パンなどを持参して食べました。コーヒーは注文すれば船内で買えます。(4$)
参加してよかったです!!
レンタカーで集合場所まで行き、すぐそばの駐車場に停められました。(5$)
終わったあとはそのまま出掛けられるし便利でしたよ。

An absolutely fun-filled, relaxing sail. The crew were welcoming and attentive--you could charge twice the price for this cruise and it would be packed every time. We will certainly do this again when we return to Hawaii.
Such a fun evening. Great food, drinks, entertainment, and service! Would highly recommend.
great experience, the weather was rough but it was still a great time.
I participated in this plan at my child's request. I was worried about the weather, but we were blessed with good conditions, enjoying the blue sea and a wonderful location. I was concerned about whether we would encounter whales, but many whales greeted us. The lunch was also satisfying, served buffet-style, and it was delicious. Additionally, the staff's activities on board provided a fun time. This became a memorable page of our enjoyable experience in Hawaii. Thank you very much.
子供の要望でこのプランに参加しました。天候が心配されましたが天気に恵まれ、青い海とすばらしいロケーションでした。鯨の歓迎に出会えるか心配でしたが、たくさんの鯨たちが出迎えの挨拶をしてくれました。昼食も、バイキング方式で満足のいくものでした。おいしかったです。また、船内でのスタッフの催しも楽しいひと時でした。ハワイでの楽しい想い出の一ページとなりました。ありがとうございました。

It was great! We felt that it exceeded all of our expectations. One of the best excursions we have done.
The pickup car had only us Japanese, and it seemed the driver couldn't speak Japanese, which made us a bit anxious. However, there was a crew member who spoke fluent Japanese and kindly explained the announcements in Japanese, as well as looked after our grandparents who were with us. The children were also treated very kindly. We were able to see whales multiple times and even witnessed them spouting water, which was wonderful.
お迎えの車は日本人は私たちだけでドライバーさんも日本語NGな様子で少し不安になりましたが、船員さんに日本語ペラペラな方がいてアナウンスの内容を日本語で教えてくれたり、一緒に行った祖父母を気づかってくれたり、子どもたちもとても可愛がってもらい親切にしていただきました。
クジラも何回も確認でき潮吹きも見れてもても良かったです。

I was half in doubt about whether I could really see whales, but I was able to see a mother and baby whale perfectly! The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, and the staff were cheerful and friendly, making conversation and being very kind. At the end, when I mentioned that my husband had forgotten his camera lens on the bus, they responded with great care and arranged to help us find it. I'm really glad I used this tour. My friend is traveling to Hawaii this summer, and I plan to recommend this tour as a reliable option. Thank you very much!
クジラ、本当に見ることが出来るのか、半信半疑でしたが、バッチリ親子クジラを見れました!そして、船は大きくて酔うこともなく、スタッフの方々は明るくて気さくに話しかけてきてくれて、とても親切でした。最後に行きのバスに主人がカメラのレンズを忘れてきてしまったのを伝えると親身に対応してくださり、ちゃんと手配して探してくださいました。このツアーを利用してよかったです。夏にお友達がハワイに旅行に行くのですが、ここのツアーは安心出来るとお勧めするつもりです。本当にありがとうございました。

There was supposed to be an explanation in Japanese, but it was only in English. The meal had seasonal fruits, but there was no tea. Overall, it was not good. I recommend the course without meals.

Went out on the whale watch tour today and we saw 4 whales - 2 large whales together at first and then a mother and calf. They popped up several times during the cruise and saw their tails in the air a few times. They also came quite close to the ship at times. Recommended to do a whale watching tour. Our naturalist onboard (Dez) was knowledgeable about whales and their migration patterns. There is some periods throughout the cruise where you just have to be patient for 10-15 minutes at a time until they pop back up or another whale is spotted but it's worth the wait. The tour felt a little short as I wanted to see more however it was probably the right amount of time. The whales even waved goodbye as we headed off.
We boarded in the evening on the day of arrival. I was fine, but my wife was a bit off due to jet lag, so it seemed to be a little tough for her. I was lying down on the internet, enjoying the quiet time. There were only two of us Japanese, and about 15 Westerners, so I could really feel the overseas atmosphere. It might be better to speak a little English. However, I personally liked the slow flow of time and the atmosphere without Japanese people. It might be better to avoid the day of arrival...
到着日の夕方から乗りました。
自分は大丈夫でしたが、嫁は少し時差で体調がいまいちだったので、
少ししんどかったみたいです。
ネットに寝転がり、静かな時間を感じていました。
日本人は私達2名だけで、欧米人が15名ぐらいでしたので、海外を感じることが出来ました。
少し英語を話せたほうがいいかもしれません。
ただ、ゆっくりと流れる時間と日本人がいない雰囲気は個人的に好きでした。
到着日は避けたほうがいいかもしれません。。。
I was able to see parts of the whale multiple times, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the whole body. However, I guess that's just up to the whale's mood. On the ship, I enjoyed hula lessons and making leis until we reached the shore!
くじらのパーツパーツは何回も見れたけれど、体全体がみれなかったのが少し残念。でも、こればかりはくじらの機嫌次第なのでしょうがいない。
船内では、フラレッスンやレイ作りを岸に着くまで楽しめました♪
