We thoroughly enjoyed this dinner cruise! The Prince Kuhio is perfect for just sitting back with a good drink, relaxing, and taking in the views. I liked the choice of music; it really enhanced the aloha ambiance.
The servers were exceptionally attentive and friendly, they also doubled as the post-sunset entertainment--very impressive.
The water was a little choppy when we first got underway, but I like the feeling of riding over the waves. If you're prone to seasickness I would highly recommend going with the Prince Kuhio rather than a catamaran as the larger boat gives you a smoother ride.
If you're a sucker for imitating famous movie scenes, the Prince Kuhio is the best boat in Waikiki for reenacting the Titanic "I'm flying" scene where Jack and Rose stand on the bow of the ship. And the friendly crew were very obliging and took the picture for us.
Five stars for sure!

We had a great time on this sunset dinner cruise. The Steak and Shrimp were very good and the drinks were cheap. They also have a vegetarian option available if requested ahead of time. The staff were friendly and put on a little hula/firedancing show which was pretty entertaining. The boat itself was nice, I wouldn't call it luxurious, but nice. Swells weren't very big out there but the boat does rock pretty good so prepare ahead of time if you are prone to sea sickness. If you haven't seen Waikiki/Diamond Head from the water then you must check out the beautiful views. Overall nice cruise, nice views, nice sunset.
Glad you had a good time,
Capt John

At first, there were no whales, so we enjoyed a leisurely cruise. The weather was nice, and it felt great to relax while taking in the views of the sea and mountains.
In the end, there was a rush of whale sightings! We all reacted to the captain's announcements of "Look in the direction of 3 o'clock!" and moved around the boat together. We were thrilled to see about three whales spouting water and showing their tails as they dove!
初めはクジラが現れなかったのでゆったりクルージング。お天気も良く海や山等、景色を眺めながらゆっくり過ごして気持ちよかったです。

We participated as a couple in our fifties along with our 26-year-old son. While waiting to board, we noticed that the people returning from the previous cruise seemed to be foreigners. There were flashy splashes of water, loud music, and energetic dancing, creating a truly club-like atmosphere on the water.
"Wait, are we getting on that? Is that what it's like? This feels completely out of our element!" Even our usually lively son turned serious, and the three of us froze on the beach.
However, during our sunset cruise, the crowd was evenly mixed with Japanese and foreigners. Once we boarded, it wasn't as intense as the previous cruise. They offered various drinks, including Mai Tais, and would ask if we wanted refills when our cups were empty. They played music from DA PUMP, which showed consideration for the guests. Above all, the captain and staff were cheerful, fun, and wonderful! To top it off, we even got to see a whale for the first time in our lives.
At first, I was worried about how it would go, but my son said it was the best memory of Hawaii and he definitely wants to join again next time.
Since I get seasick, I took motion sickness medication just before boarding and didn't drink any alcohol, which worked out perfectly for me. However, around 4:30 PM, the sun was really strong, and I got quite sunburned. Also, during sunset, the wind can be chilly, so it's essential for women to have a hoodie or something similar.
It was the best memory for our family of three!
アラフィフの私達夫婦と26歳の息子の3人での参加でした。乗船待ちの時、前のクルーズの方達が砂浜へ向かって帰って来られるのを待っていると、皆さん外国の方のようでした。派手な水しぶきと爆音ミュージック、ノリノリなダンスを踊られたりと、まさに海上クラブ的な感じでした。
え?アレに乗るの?そんな感じだったの?完全アウェイじゃない?
普段イケイケ息子までもが真顔になり砂浜で家族3人フリーズしてしまいました。
しかし、私達サンセットクルーズの時は日本人の方と外国の方が半々で、いざ乗ってみると前のクルーズほどのイケイケ演出ではなく、マイタイ を始めとして各種ドリンクもコップが空けば向こうからおかわりどうですかと聞いてくれたり、DA PUMPの音楽も流れたりと客層に配慮した演出でした。なんといってもキャプテンとスタッフが明るくて楽しく素敵!おまけに人生初のクジラを見ることもできました
最初はどうなることかと案じましたが、息子はハワイ最高の思い出だと言っており次回も絶対参加したいと言っています
私は船酔するので乗船直前に酔い止め薬をのみ、ドリンクは全く飲まなかったら、全然大丈夫でした
ただ、16:30頃は日差しがすごくめっちゃ日焼けします、そしてサンセットの頃は風も冷たいので女性のかたはパーカーなど必須です。
家族3人最高の思い出です‼️

I think this is all about luck. Just when we had given up on seeing whales today and were on our way back to the port, an American woman we had been talking with found a whale spouting in the distance! When we shouted, the boat went closer to the whale...
It's strange that even with more than ten crew members on deck standing by to look for whales, the crew couldn't find any. I hope the whale spotting crew will try a little harder next time!
こればかりは運だと思います。
もう今日はクジラは無理だとあきらめて港へ帰る途中に、私たちファミリーと
一緒にお話ししていたアメリカ人女性が遠くで潮を吹くクジラを見つけました! 私たちが声を上げたので、それから船がクジラの近くに行ってくれたりしましたが。。。

This year, the weather was nice and not too cold. However, since it's by the sea, there is some wind, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a windbreaker or something similar. Also, when boarding the boat, you might get your shins wet. Watching the fireworks from the sea is also nice.
今年は、寒くもなく、いい天気でした。

I'm grateful that the captain tells us which direction to look for the whales. In fact, there were several whales in that direction, but we could only see their dorsal fins, which was disappointing.
A small boat was quite close to the whales, so even though it was a bit rocky, being in a smaller boat might allow you to feel the size and power of the whales more.
Breakfast was delicious, but I felt it was a bit pricey for what you get...
クジラがいると船長さんが何時の方向に見えますと言ってくれるのでありがたいです。
実際その方向にクジラが何頭かいましたが背鰭しか見えず残念でした。。
小さなボートがかなりクジラに接近していたので、揺れがキツくても小さなボートの方がクジラの大きさや迫力は感じられるかもしれません。
朝食は美味しかったですが、お値段の割にはお高く感じました…

I participated in my first sunset dinner sailing. The meeting place is quite small, so you might overlook it... Be careful not to arrive too early, as there won't be any staff present before the meeting time. Since the maximum number of passengers is limited, I recommend making a reservation early. It's a sunset cruise, so you can see the romantic views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from the sea. The boat also raises its sails, so there’s no engine noise, allowing for a smooth drift over the water, leading to the evening fireworks.

I parked at Pier 5.6 an hour ago, thinking there was a whale watching booth there, but it turned out that the Star of Honolulu was a five-minute walk from there, so I was cutting it close on time. The whale watching at Pier 5.6 is operated by a different company called Atlantis, so be careful about that. The parking fee is a maximum of $30, and I paid $27, so it wasn't much different. Once on board, we listened to the explanation and then went outside to look for whales, but in the end, we couldn't find any. The scenery was amazing.
1時間前からピア5.6の駐車場に停めてそこにもホエールウォッチングのブースがありそこかと思っていたらスターオブホノルルはそこから徒歩5分のところだったので時間ギリギリでした。

I booked a breakfast buffet plan for the "Whale Watching Cruise - Star of Honolulu" with a choice of cultural experiences.
I didn't include transportation and took an Uber taxi from the hotel to Pier 8.
At that time, the weather in Hawaii was consistently "cloudy with occasional rain and strong winds," resulting in high waves.
<Breakfast>
You can freely choose from bread, rice, scrambled eggs (steamed eggs), American sausage, and cereal, along with coffee, tea, green tea, milk, and orange juice.
Around the time we finished breakfast, they provided an explanation about whale watching. Those who didn't have breakfast had to wait until we finished. The explanation was entirely in English, so I somewhat understood it while reading the translations from Google Translate's microphone mode.
<Cruise>
Announcements like "Let's work together to find the whales!" and "The ecology of whales is..." were continuously made in English. At first, I was full of enthusiasm, but the waves were intense, and the wind was strong. It was rocking a lot. As expected, I got seasick, and it became difficult to focus on whale watching. I usually don't get car or airplane motion sickness, but this was a different dimension. (The foreign guests around me seemed fine.) I couldn't spot any whales, and with the seasickness, it turned into quite a heavy activity.
However, those who couldn't see any whales are issued a ticket for another free cruise.
Due to my travel schedule, I didn't use the ticket, but I think it's great that they offer a chance.
Since this activity depends on nature, I recommend understanding that aspect and being prepared to accept the possibility of not seeing whales when making a reservation.
Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
「ホエールウォッチングクルーズ スターオブホノルル号 選べるカルチャー体験」の朝食ビュッフェ付きプランを予約しました。
送迎は付けず、ホテルからpier8までUberタクシーで移動しました。
この時のハワイの天気は、連日「曇時々雨で一日中強風」というタイミングも重なり、波が高かったです。
<朝食>
パン、ごはん、スクランブルエッグ(スチームエッグ)、アメリカンソーセージ、シリアル
コーヒー、紅茶、緑茶、牛乳、オレンジジュース
これらから自由に選べます。
朝食を食べ終わる頃にホエールウォッチングの説明がされます。
朝食を食べ終わるまでの間、朝食なしの人は待っていることになります。
説明は全篇英語なので、Google翻訳のマイクモードで翻訳されたのを読みながら、なんとなく理解しました
<クルーズ>
「みんなで協力しあってくじらを見つけよう!」「くじらの生態は…」というようなアナウンスが終始英語で流れています。
最初はやる気に溢れていたのですが、なんせ波が、すごい。風も、すごい。揺れる。
案の定船酔いしてしまい、途中からホエールウォッチングどころではなくなってしまいました。
車酔いや飛行機酔いはしない方ですが、船は別次元でした。
(周りの外国人の方々は平気そうでした。)
くじらはを見つけることはできず、船酔いをし、なかなかヘビーなアクティビティになりました。
ただ、くじらを見れなかった人にもう一回無料でクルーズできるチケットが発行してもらえます。
旅程の都合でチケットは利用しませんでしたが、チャンスをもらえるのはいいと思います。
自然とのお付き合い次第のアクティビティなので、その点は理解し、諦めを覚悟して予約することをおすすめします。
それと、酔い止めをご持参されることをおすすめします。笑
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry that you were unable to fully enjoy the whale watching this time.
Please come back on a calmer day.

This was my first time visiting Hawaii during this season. I signed up with the mindset of just being lucky if I could see anything, but it turned out to be an amazing memory. I could see the ocean on both the right and left multiple times, and the water was so clear that I could see reflections on the surface. My child was also very happy. I participated in a cultural experience where we had fun making flower crowns together. If I come back during this season, I definitely want to participate again.
この時期のハワイへ行くのは初めてでした。
どれくらい見れるのか?見れたらラッキーだなぐらいの気持ちでの参加申し込みだったのですが、結果は最高の思い出になりました。
右にも左にも何度も見え、海水が綺麗なので水面に姿が見えていました。
子供も大喜びでした。
カルチャー体験にも参加させてもらいました。花冠子供と楽しく作りました。
またこの季節に来たら、ぜひまた参加したいと思いました。

Before making the reservation, I was worried because there were many posts from people who didn't see any whales. However, on the day of the trip, the whales showed up as promised. The wind was strong, and my 2-year-old daughter was a bit uncomfortable, but when the whales appeared, she was completely captivated. Additionally, since it had just stopped raining, we were able to see a rainbow from the boat. I had low expectations for the meals included in the breakfast plan, and they turned out to be just as I expected...
予約前は体験談にくじらを見れなかった方の投稿が目立っていたので不安でしたが、当日はちゃんとくじらが出てきてくれました。
風が強くて2歳の娘は嫌がっていましたが、くじらが出てきたらじーっと見ていました。
また、雨上がりだったこともあり、船からは虹が見えました。
朝食付きのプランで食事は最初から期待していなかったのですが、その通りでした…

The cruise itself was very enjoyable, and I was satisfied, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any whales. It seems that whales did appear, but we were facing the opposite direction, and by the time we moved toward where the whales were, it was too late to catch them. Since they did show up, we didn't participate the next day either. It turned out to be a bit of an unfortunate situation...
クルーズ自体はとても楽しく、満足しましたが、肝心の鯨は見れませんでした。実際には鯨は現れたみたいですが、自分たちが反対の方向にいたことや、一瞬しか現れなく鯨のある方向に移動しても間に合いませんでした。現れたことには現れたので次の日も参加には至りませんでした。ちょっと不幸なパターンになりました、、、
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We are also disappointed that we were unable to observe any whales during this trip. We sincerely hope that you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii during whale season. Our entire staff looks forward to welcoming you back.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また、今回は鯨の観測が出来なかった事は、私共も残念に思っております。次回鯨のシーズンにハワイへお越しの際には、再乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
