Oahu
Our sunset cruise started off on the wrong foot (literally) when we were forced to take our shoes off and wade into the surf to get onto the sail boat. We were unprepared because that's not described in the activity description. However, once we got past that we had a nice time. It's the only way to get a great look at the Waikiki skyline. It was a nice comfortable, slow and relaxing cruise. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. There's a lot of alcohol consumption, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children.
It started with a sunset while enjoying dinner, and I had the main dish of lobster. My hands got a bit messy, but it was delicious. I wish there had been a special spoon for crab so I could have eaten everything. It would have also been nice to have extra napkins. I thought a finger bowl would have been even better. The steak was a reasonable size and very tasty. I reserved a window-side seat, but during the fireworks, everyone gathered on the right side, and only a couple of groups were seated to watch. Luckily, I was able to join one of those groups. I enjoyed the night view of Honolulu and was able to watch the spectacular fireworks while seated, making it the best night ever. The entertainment until we returned to port included Hawaiian and jazz performances, and we all got excited dancing together at the end. The traffic on the way back to the hotel was as expected and took a while, but compared to the traffic in Tokyo, it wasn't too bad. The fare was nearly double what it was on the way there, but I was able to get some great information from the taxi driver during our conversation.
DINNERを楽しみながらのSUNSETから始まり、MAIN DISHのROBSTOR少し手は汚れましたが美味しくいただきました。蟹専用のスプーンがあれば全てを食べつくせたのに残念でした。またナプキンが余分に置いてあれば良いのですが?フィンガーボウルがあればさらに良かったと思いました。ステーキも手ごろな大きさで美味しくいただきました。WINDOW SAIDEの席を予約いたしましたが花火のときは右舷に全員が集まり座席で座って見ているのは2.3のGROOPのみで運良くそのGROOPに入ることが出来ました。HONOLULUの夜景を楽しみさらに盛大な花火を座って見ることが出来最高の夜をすごすことが出来ました。帰港するまでのENTERTAINMENTもHAWAIAN & JAZZの演奏最後は全員参加での踊りで盛り上がりました。帰りのHOTELまでの渋滞は予想通りでしばらくかかりましたが東京での渋滞に比較すればさほどではありませんでした。行きの倍近くの料金になりましたがTAXI DRIVERとの会話でとっておきの情報をGETすることが出来ました。
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu for the Independence Day fireworks cruise on July 4th. Fortunately, thanks to the stabilizers, the ship was able to remain steady even when passengers gathered on one side. (The ship often tilts during sunset as well.) Staying in Hawaii during the festive atmosphere is also a delight.
Thank you for your comments. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again.

We loved the food...So delicious....the sunset was so nice and romantic....crabs were all you can eat....
I would like to thank our hawaii activities director ... We thought we had made reservations for Tuesday, June 8, but it turned out that I had made the reservation for Monday, June 7. They came to pick us up at our hotel on Monday, and we weren't ready. I couldn't believe that I had made such a mistake ... I thought I had been really careful to make sure that something like that hadn't happened ... but, I DID make the mistake. The Oahu Cruise people were very understanding, and told me that they would just pick us up on Tuesday. I then called our hawaii activities director and told her about the mistake I had made. She said that there was not a problem, no extra fee, and that she would reschedule me for Tuesday, and fax me a new voucher to our hotel. Talk about service! She was GREAT! The voucher was at our hotel in minutes!
Also, I need to say that this cruise is EXCELLENT! The food was EXCELLENT, and the entertainment was WONDERFUL!
Thanks for everything! We had a GREAT
I was worried because I don't speak much English, but when I participated, the staff kindly served drinks, the view was amazing, and I had a wonderful experience. My family was the only Japanese there.
英語があまり出来ないので心配でしたが、
参加してみると、スタッフの方が親切に飲み物を出して下さり、景色も最高で、とても素敵な経験をすることが出来ました。日本人は、私たちの家族だけでした。
This was a great way to end our holiday. Very tastefully done and orchestrated. Service, food, entertainment, all excellent. No complaints at all. Recommend highly to anyone.
The food and entertainment was great.
We went on both the sunset cocktail cruise and the afternoon snorkel sail for our honeymoon. Both activities were so much fun. Jason and his team were friendly. The food was delicious. The boat was clean. We were quite intimidated going on the snorkel sail at first, because we both can't swim very well. The crew was very accommodating. We had so much fun!!! We will definitely be back.
This was a very enjoyable cruise of Oahu's sunset. We enjoyed the food and entertainment. My husband and I saw flying fish which to us was icing on the cake. The sunset was amazing to watch and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The waiter showed us tricks on disassembling our lobster, which was nice, I didn't want to make a mess. I think the Navatek is the best because of the smoothness and to be able to go into open waters and still remain smooth. This is a wonderful cruise and a great way to end an evening.
It is a lot of fun and a perfect way to end the day. The crew really makes this trip worth while - Captain John and Rabbit were AWESOME!!!
So we took this cruise on our anniversary and it was a really cloudy and gray day. We didn't see any whales that day, but true to their word they issued a rain check. Luckily, we built in a flex day to our trip and were able to go again on Sunday. We saw three whales that day! It was an incredible experience. I definitely recommend this cruise!
It was a more enjoyable cruise than I imagined.
They offered special cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, and free drinks. (There were some foreigners who brought snacks, and it might be even more fun if there were some light snacks available.)
In April, the sunset is at 7 PM! I thought that meant we wouldn't be able to see the sunset at the scheduled time, but they adjusted the return time properly, allowing us to enjoy nearly two hours of cruising with a departure at 5:30 PM and return at 7:30 PM!
It sways more than expected, so if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
There were only five of us Japanese on board, and all the safety instructions (like areas to avoid) were given in English, which I couldn't catch, so I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper in Japanese at the beginning.
There was a lot of lively music playing, and before I knew it, even my father started dancing!
For this price, the fun with free drinks is quite a good value! I highly recommend it!
想像以上に楽しいクルーズでした。
特製カクテル、ビール、ワイン、シャンパンと

This cruise was fantastic!! We saw so many whales. The captain did a wonderful job anticipating where they would reemerge. It was fantastic. We initially didn't order the lunch, but we added it, and I firmly recommend that you add it as well. The timing fits in perfectly within the trip and the kids loved eating the plentiful buffet. The activities are fun and there is plenty of room. My daughter made a lei for her mom to wear. Overall a great value and a tremendous time!
After whale watching, having a meal while enjoying Hawaiian music on a leisurely cruise is the best. Unfortunately, the whales were only small dots in the distance... However, I was able to see whales up close the day before during a dinner cruise, so I was able to accept it. It's all about timing.
ホエールウォッチングをしたあと、ゆったりとしたクルージングでハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらの食事は最高です。残念ながら、クジラは小さく見えただけでしたが・・・
実は前の日にディナークルーズに参加した時に近くでクジラを見ることができがので、あきらめがつきました。
タイミングですね。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

We were able to see a mother and baby whale right after we set sail. I was surprised because I thought we wouldn't see them unless we went further offshore! Amidst the cheers of the people around us, we took lots of photos. Soon after, we spotted more whales... When we returned to the cabin, lunch was already prepared. The meal was just okay, I would say. We also got to participate in a ukulele class with the kids, which was a lot of fun.
出航してすぐに親子のクジラを見ることができました。沖合に出なければ、見られないと勝手に思っていたので、びっくり!!
まわりの人々の大きな歓声の中、写真もいっぱい撮りました。そのあとすぐにまた他のクジラ・・・船内に戻るともうランチの用意ができていました。食事はまあまあ、といったところでしょうか。子どもとウクレレ教室にも参加でき、楽しく過ごすことができました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise this time.
We're glad you were able to see whales.

On March 26, 2010, I participated with my family of five (myself, my wife, our 14-year-old son, 12-year-old daughter, and 9-year-old son). It was a tour with lunch included but no transportation provided. We took The Bus from Waikiki to Aloha Tower. At check-in, we received a green sticker to wear on our chests, and when we arrived at the ship's entrance, a handsome man who appeared to be the captain welcomed us. I asked if we could take a picture together, but he firmly declined.
There were different entrances for those with lunch included and those without (yellow badge). We, who had the lunch included, enjoyed unlimited welcome coffee (hot) and cold water on the first floor. While seated, a vendor came around selling paid juices, but about half of the guests did not order any. After an explanation in English and a brief one in Japanese, we set sail around noon. During the explanation, seasickness medication was offered for free to those who wanted it. It was mentioned that the lunch buffet would start around 12:30, followed by activities like lei-making and hula dancing on the same floor.
After that, we had free time and went to the observation area on the third or fourth floor. There were several summer beds on the fourth floor where you could lie down. We searched for whales at the front of the fourth floor. However, it wasn't easy to spot them, and before we knew it, it was already 12:30... At that moment, an announcement came over the speaker: "A whale has appeared at 3 o'clock!" The whale spouted water into the air, and the ship erupted in cheers! When the dorsal fin became visible, there was another round of applause, and finally, when the tail fin was seen, there was yet another cheer.
It was past 12:30, and lunch had started on the first floor, but since the whale continued to appear, we decided to postpone lunch and keep watching. After about 20 minutes, we moved to the first floor and had lunch while still watching the same whale. Our seats had been assigned beforehand, and we could see the whale from our seats. Later, an announcement said, "Unfortunately, we must say goodbye to this whale as 30 minutes have passed." We were able to enjoy watching for a full 30 minutes, and our family was very satisfied.
After that, lei-making, hula dancing, and ukulele classes began. After lunch, those without lunch also entered the first-floor area, but I’m not sure if similar classes were held on the second floor. However, someone who came in said, "It's cool in here!" so the area where those without lunch were might have been hot. Additionally, we participated in lei-making during the latter part of lunch.
2010.3.26 家族5人(私、妻、長男;14歳、長女12歳、次男9歳)で参加しました。ランチ付き・送迎なしのツアーです。ワイキキからはザ・バスに乗ってアロハタワーまで行きました。チェックイン時、胸に張るシール(緑色)をもらい、船の入口に行くと船長さんらしき格好良い方がお出迎えしてくれました。そこで、写真を一緒に撮って欲しいとお願いしましたが、きっぱりと断られました。乗船はランチ付きとランチ無しコース(黄色いワッペン)で入口が異なりました。私たちランチ付きコースの人は1階でウエルカムコーヒー(ホット)と冷水が飲み放題でした。座っていると有料のジュースを売りに来ましたが半分くらいの方は頼んでいませんでした。英語の説明と日本語の簡単な説明のあと、12時頃、出航しました。説明の際、酔い止めの薬(?)が無料で希望者に配られました。説明では12時30分頃からランチバイキングが始まり、その後、同じフロアーでレイ作りやフラダンスの催しが行われると言ってました。そして、自由行動となり、3階もしくは4階の展望コーナーへ行きました。4階には寝そべることができるサマーベットも数台ありました。私たちは4階の先頭で鯨を探しました。とはいえ、そう簡単に見つかるわけもなく、あっという間に12時30分・・・・。そのとき、放送で「3時の方向に鯨が出現!」。鯨は上空に潮を吹き、船上は大喝采!。そして背びれが見えると、また大喝采!、そして最後に尾ひれが見え、再度、大喝采がおきました。12時30分を過ぎており、1階ではランチが始まっていましたが、鯨が継続して現れるので家族でランチを後回しにしてずっと見てました。20分ほど見た後、1階に移動し、ランチを食べながら同じ鯨を見ました。席は始めに決められており、席からも鯨を見ることが出来ました。その後、放送で「30分が経過したため残念ですがこの鯨とお別れです。」という放送が流れました。30分、たっぷり鑑賞でき、家族一同、大満足でした。その後、レイ作りやフラダンス、ウクレレ教室が始まりました。ランチ終了後、ランチ無しの方々も1階のフロアーに入ってきましたが、2階でも同様な教室が開けれていたのかどうかはわかりません。しかし、入ってきた方が、「ここは涼しい!」って言っていたのでランチなしの方が居るフロアは暑かったのかもしれません。また、私たちはランチ後半からレイ作りな

I had heard that you can't see them up close on Oahu, so I didn't have high expectations, but I was able to see breaching at very close range!!
At first, I only saw a little bit of spouting and the back of the whale, but suddenly there was a big jump right next to the boat! It was like a scene from a TV show happening right in front of me, and the other guests were also very excited, cheering and clapping.
Even the staff who are on board every day said it's a rare occurrence to see it once every week or two, so I felt really lucky.
Of course, the whale watching was amazing, but the lunch buffet had everything from salads to meat, fruits, and desserts. We also enjoyed hula and ukulele lessons, and a cruise with a view of Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once. I think it’s a very worthwhile tour.
The announcements were in both English and Japanese, and all the staff were friendly, which made me very satisfied!
I definitely want to participate again! ♪
オアフ島ではそれほど近くでは見れないと聞いていたので、

The staff was magnificient. The cruise along the sunset waters of Oahu was romantic and picture perfect. Great entertainment and food. We had the 3 star VIP with Dom Perignon. Wonderful night. Perfect for couples. And if you are thinking of Proposing, this itinery is perfect. Alo'ha!!!!
Um... yeah. this was an AMAZING way to start our Oahu vacation. We went as a couple doing the regular package. The food was good- no real complaints there. and you get one drink (that was pretty weak). and there is entertainment. all as one would expect...
but the best part of it was the SUNSET!! Even though it was a little chilly, it was incredibly romantic and we got some nice photos
And we SAW HUMPBACK WHALES!!! about 12-15 of them to be exact. Lots of tail flukes and 4 spy-hopping. We were probably the only couple that saw that many because we ate dinner and then decided to for-go the cheesy entertainment with all the ...tourists, and go up on the deck to make sure we didn't miss the sunset. When we went back in, we were surprised how many people didn't go on the deck, and didn't see ANY whales!!
TIPS: Arrive early to get a dinner table by the window. Don't waste your time with the cheesy entertainment, the sunset is what makes this trip worth it (and whales!!). Also, get
My husband and I, had such an enchanting evening! Aha Aina is different from your typical "hula hula" type of luau. This event is authentic and very respectful. You have a wonderful storyteller "Uncle Joe", telling his stories about the hotel and his life growing up in Hawaii and how times have changed. You have tasty, mouthwatering appetizers that melt in your mouth! Delicious fruit drinks made upon your request with servers eager to assist you. This was such a wonderful change from those typical luaus that you would attend around the islands..such grand entertainment, succulent food and exceptional service! I would highly recommend this dinner show for people who want to experience what Hawaii actually has to offer!
On the day of the reservation, there was a tsunami warning in Honolulu due to an earthquake in Chile. Transportation in the city was halted in preparation for the tsunami. I called the staff and was able to reschedule for the next day. I was relieved that there were staff members who spoke Japanese.
As for the whales, I was glad to see several of them. The kids were very excited, and I was satisfied with that. However, the lunch package was a bit chaotic; with the announcement of "There are whales!" everyone was too distracted to enjoy the meal, so it might be better to go without lunch.
予約当日、チリの地震の影響でホノルルは津波警報。市内は津波に備え交通もストップ。スタッフに電話して翌日に振り替えてもらいました。日本語OKなスタッフで安心しました。
肝心のクジラですが、数頭見ることができてよかったです。子供も大興奮、これには満足です。ただしランチ付きのコースは「クジラがいた!」とのアナウンスで食事そっちのけで右へ左へで落ち着かないのでランチなしがいいかも…。

Thank you for your comment. It seems that the timing of the whales appearing coincided with the meal time. Still, I'm glad to hear that you were able to see the whales.

Me and my family had a wonderful time on board the Star of Honolulu, despite my son being seasick due to the south swells! Charmaine, who was absolutely wonderful, gave my son some medicine and she was very attentive towards our needs and checking up on us to assure he was o.k.. Nana, another staff member also helped my 4 year old daughter make leis! We did see some whales and some dolphins. Food was good, service was great! Hopefully next time we do this, my son wont be so sick!
I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating.
I was so moved to see a whale jump right in front of me!
I was able to see it multiple times, it was the best!
I also got to make a fresh flower lei, and it was really nice to wear it for photos at the party the next day.
The food was delicious too.
I want to participate again. Thank you!
ハワイへ何度か行きましたが、初めて参加しました。

We went on the Dinner Cruise for our anniversary and it was so enjoyable. They had some great entertainment (singer and dancers). The food was wonderful as well. But to top of our evening we were able to spot some dolphins swimming and jumping along side the boat. Could not have had a better experience and would definitely do this again.
On the day, the wind was strong and there were splashes from the waves, making it difficult to see the whales' spouts clearly. However, there were many activities on the boat, such as lei-making and hula lessons, which kept the children entertained, and we had a great time. My child continued to practice the hula we learned even after returning to Japan.
当日は風が強く、波しぶきが立っていたので鯨の潮吹きがわかりにくく、あまり良く見えなかったのですが、船内でのレイの作成やフラレッスンなど、子供が飽きない催しも多く、大変楽しめました。
子供は日本に帰ってからも教えていただいたフラを家でやっていました。

A large ship... I was a bit anxious about it, but my intuition was right.
I recommend it for those who get seasick or are going whale watching for the first time! Since it's a large ship, you can relax and enjoy your time on board.
However, for those who just want to see whales, I think a slightly smaller boat might be better.
It's great for those who want to enjoy meals and hula lessons!
As for me... I don't get seasick, so I found it a bit lacking...
大きな船・・・。というので、ちょっと不安がありましたが・・・。予感的中でした。
船に酔う方や、初めてホエールウォッチングをされる方には、オススメですよ!!大きな船ですので、船の上でゆっくりとすごせます。
が、鯨を見たいだけの方には、もう少し小さい船のほうがよいかな~とおもいます。
食事やフラレッスンなどを楽しみたい方にはオススメですね!!
私は・・・。船には酔わないので、ちょっと物足りなかったです・・・。

I participated with a friend on February 4th. I had heard that whales can only be seen in the winter, so I thought it was a great opportunity and signed up. According to the captain, they have been able to see them almost every day recently, so we were looking forward to the trip. Both my friend and I are prone to seasickness, so we brought medication from Japan. There were courses that included meals, but anticipating that eating might make us feel sick, we deliberately chose the most economical option without meals; however, drinks were included, so it turned out to be a good choice.
As for the whales, unfortunately, we didn't see any jumping up close, but during the two-and-a-half-hour cruise, we were able to see their backs several times as they spouted water and dove, which was very moving. The view of Waikiki from the boat was also beautiful. However, it was much windier on the boat than expected, and it was very cold, so I definitely recommend bringing a long-sleeved hoodie that blocks the wind. Even so, when it got too cold, it felt nice to go up to the upper deck where the sun was warm.
2月4日に友達と2人で参加しました。クジラは冬の時期しか見られないと聞いていたので、良いチャンスだと思い申し込みました。船長さんの話では最近はほぼ毎日見る事が出来るという事でしたので、楽しみにして出発しました。私も友人もとても船酔いしやすい体質なので、薬は日本から持参しました。食事付などのコースもありましたが、食べると気分が悪くなる事を予測して、あえて一番お得な食事無しのコースにしましたが、飲み物は付いているので結果的には良かったと思います。
肝心のクジラは残念ながらすぐ近くでジャンプ、とは行きませんでしたが、2時間半のクルーズの間何度も塩を吹いたり潜ったりする背中を見る事ができてとても感動しました。船の上から見るワイキキもとてもキレイでした。ただ船の上は予想以上に風が吹いて非常に寒いので風を通さない長袖のパーカーなどを持っていく事を是非オススメします。それでも寒い時はいっそ屋上階に出てしまった方がお日様がぽかぽか当たって気持ちが良かったですよ。

On February 5th, I went whale watching for the first time and was able to see a pod of five whales and one whale twice!
I was worried about getting seasick, but once I spotted the whales, I was so excited that I completely forgot about it and had a blast! The pod of five whales swam slowly alongside the boat just ten minutes after we set sail, off the coast of Aloha Tower. According to the naturalist's explanation, it's rare to see five whales together like that?!
After observing the pod for about 30 minutes, we moved to another location to search for the next whale, which was time for a lunch buffet. I filled up on everything from salad to chicken, roast beef, fruit, and dessert! After lunch, I had the experience of making a lei with plumeria flowers.
Since I was full and had enjoyed a cultural experience, I thought I’d take a moment to enjoy the view outside, and suddenly, a whale jumped out of the water!!! It leaped four or five times, splashing as it performed!
I was moved by the whales' dynamic performance, and I had a wonderful time with the cultural experience as well. Next time, I’ll go with my family and friends!
2月5日に初めてホエールウォッチングに、5頭のクジラの群れと1頭のクジラ、2回見ることができました!
船酔いの心配もあったんだけど、クジラを見つけて大興奮していたら、そんなことすっかり忘れておおはしゃぎ☆
5頭からなるクジラの群れは、出港してから10分ととたたないうち、アロハタワーの沖合いで船の横をゆ~っくりと泳いでいました。ナチュラリストさんの説明によると5頭一緒に見かけるのは珍しいのだとか?!
30分くらいクジラの群れを観察してから、次のクジラを探しに場所を移動するとのことだったので、お昼ご飯ビュッフェに。
サラダからチキン、ローストビーフ、果物、デザートまでおなかいっぱいに!
ランチの後は、プルメリアでレイ作りを体験♪
おなかもいっぱいになったし、カルチャー体験もしたから、ちょっと外で景色でも見ようかなっと思って景色を眺めていたらクジラが大ジャンプ!!!4、5回水しぶきを上げて大ジャンプを披露してくれました!
クジラのダイナミックなパフォーマンスに感動できたし、カルチャー体験もできたし、と~っても楽しませていただきました。今度は家族や友達と一緒にいきます!

I participated on January 22. I thought it might be too early to see much, so I expected to only catch a glimpse from a distance, but I was thrilled to see it up close multiple times! Various groups appeared all around, and the staff mentioned that it was rare to see so many up close, so I felt very lucky. My daughter seemed to enjoy searching for whales too, and she was excited when she spotted one over there! On the way back, my husband took a ukulele lesson while my daughter and I had fun making leis. My husband had learned a bit of ukulele before, so he was happy to have a mini concert with the teacher at the end. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the ocean was amazing, and we created many wonderful memories. I'm glad we participated.

少し時期が早いので遠くで見れる程度かなぁと思っていたけど、すぐ近くで何度も見れて大興奮でした!
色んな集団があちこちに出現し、スタッフの方が「こんなに沢山近くで見れるのは珍しい」と言っていたけど、大変ラッキーでした。
娘はクジラを探すのも楽しかったみたいで、あっちにいたぁ!と見つけたときは嬉しかったみたいです。
帰りには、主人はウクレレのレッスン、私と娘はレイを作って楽しかったです。
主人は少しだけウクレレを習ったことがあるので、最後にウクレレの先生と一緒に発表会ができ、嬉しかったようです。
