OK Experience

Reviewed by: Julie C.

There were six of us for the Deluxe 3-Star selection. My daughter-in-law got motion sick from the swaying of the boat, so I suggest taking Dramamine before boarding.

The "champagne" toast was non-alcoholic. Food was ok but not worth the price to upgrade. Drinks were not very good. Music during the cruise was too loud and mostly show-tunes, not Hawaiian songs.

Michael - our server - was quite good. Dancers and singers were enthusiastic. Views were lovely.

The best cruise. 最高のクルーズ

Reviewed by: BERU

I highly recommend it, five stars. The grand piano performance and the talented female singer were wonderful. Although it was labeled as jazz, I recognized many famous songs. The drinks and food were served properly, and during the sunset and fireworks, we stepped outside to enjoy the view while eating. I really enjoyed the piano and singing until the end, and I'm glad I chose the course meal. Everyone was dressed casually; there were even people in sandals and shorts. About 80% of the guests were Westerners.

５スターおすすめです。グランドピアノの演奏と上手な女性シンガー。ジャズと書いてましたが私もわかる有名な曲ばかりでした。飲み物も料理もきちんと運ばれたし、サンセットと花火の時は食べてる途中で外に出てゆっくりと見てました。最後までピアノと歌で楽しめたしコース料理にして本当に良かったです。服装はみんなカジュアルでしたよ。サンダルと短パンの人もいました。８割が欧米人でした。

Sunset dinner cruise.

Reviewed by: NV

Highlight was the Polynesian show. Food was ok, deserts were good. Complimentary drinks were average. Purchased drinks were pricey. Overall, did not get to see much of a sunset by being busy with the food and the show. It felt more like sitting in a restaurant since the boat was moving slow and sturdy unless you come out to grab the food.

Join without hesitation! It's as fun as a party. If you're confident in your swimming, you'll enjoy it even more! 迷わず参加して！ パーティーみたいに楽しい。泳ぎに自身あれば更に楽しめる！

Reviewed by: ロビンゴ

We anchored offshore until sunset and dived from the boat. Participants jumped in one after another, boldly and without hesitation, doing flips and more. Both the bikini-clad ladies and the older gentlemen with floaties joined in. It felt like a party with lively music playing.

While there were many people who didn't dive, just watching was exciting and a lot of fun. My son, who is a good swimmer, mustered up the courage to do a commemorative dive.

There were no other Japanese people, but there were no feelings of discomfort or issues at all. As long as you fill out the application form diligently, you'll be fine. There's no obligation to purchase unnecessary drinks. The parking lot is hard to find. You can walk from Waikiki. If you want to snorkel, make sure to bring your own gear, as they mentioned there are no rentals available for sunset.

サンセットまでの時間沖合で停泊し、船上からダイブしまくり。

飛び込まない人も沢山いますが見ているだけでも楽しくて大興奮でとても楽しいです。水泳得意な息子も勇気を出して記念ダイブしました。
日本人は他にいませんでしたがたくに違和感も問題もなし。申込フォームさえ頑張れば大丈夫です。
不要なドリンク購入なども強制はありません。駐車場は見つけにくいです。ワイキキからなら歩いても行けます。シュノーケルしたかったら持参して。貸し出しはサンセットには無いとのことでした。

Pay attention to the meeting place. 集合場所に注意

Reviewed by: ワハハ

I had a reservation for the last event of the season on April 15, 2024, but due to rain, the boat could not go out. I was contacted and given the option to reschedule for another day or receive a refund. Since I had some flexibility in my itinerary, I requested to reschedule for April 16 if possible, and they agreed to operate the boat on that day as well!

I wanted my 2-year-old son, who loves whales and dolphins, to see these natural creatures, so I rescheduled. On the day of the trip, it was sunny and we were able to set sail, and we saw both whales and dolphins, which was wonderful! The English guide provided thorough information, and it was an interesting experience!

However, be careful as the address for the meeting point provided in the voucher and on the website was incorrect. If you rely on the address, you will end up at the far end of the harbor. The correct meeting point is at Pink Sails Waikiki, which you can find by searching; it’s located just before the harbor, where you turn right at the first road (with hotels on your right and continuing straight past the boats on your left). If you are traveling with small children, it can be quite a hassle, so please be cautious!

今季最後の開催日である2024/4/15に予約をしていましたが、雨天で船が出せないことに。別日に振替か返金かを選べると連絡がありました。
旅程に余裕があったため、可能なら4/16に振り替えたいと連絡すると、予定になかった4/16も船を出してくれることに！
クジラとイルカが好きな2歳の息子に自然の生き物を見せたかったので、振り替えました。当日は無事に晴れて出航できたし、クジラもイルカも見られてとてもよかったです！
英語ガイドも丁寧な内容で、興味深い体験が出来ました！

ただ、バウチャーやべるとら上で事前に連絡されていた集合場所の住所が違っていたので要注意です。
住所を頼りに行くと、ハーバーの一番奥に到着してしまいます。正しい集合場所はピンクセイルズワイキキで検索して出てくる、ハーバーの1番手前の道を右に曲がったところ（右手にホテル郡、左に船を見て真っ直ぐ進んだ先）です。
小さいお子さん連れの場合、かなりの労力を浪費することになるのでご注意ください！

First of all, the waiter who attended us was very attentive and had just the right amount of brightness without being pushy. The dinner was delicious, and many people of all ages seemed to be quite full. When the fireworks started, everyone moved to the side to watch, and the boat tilted noticeably. But apparently, that's okay. The live performance was wonderful, and the MC singer was good too! For those on the Five Star, you go up to the fourth floor, but there was a smoking area outside on the same floor, which was appreciated by smokers who feel a bit out of place. Also... the inside of the boat is cold!!! Perhaps because Westerners tend to have a higher body temperature than Japanese people... if you're attending in a sleeveless, thin dress, it might get really chilly, so please be careful.

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

A Relaxing Evening

Reviewed by: Robert Benedetto

If you want to take a break from the walking, shopping, and hotel hustle and bustle around Waikiki I suggest a sunset dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu.

The five star experience on the top deck Nova Room is a relaxing evening filled with well-made bar drinks, superior cuisine, piano and mood music, and sparkling views of coastal O'ahu.

The Nova Room experience is a step above the normal pricing for the cruise, but is a good value for all you receive.

I especially enjoyed the time to talk and relax with my wife, to enjoy the coastal scenery, and to savor the various courses of the dinner as described in the promotional materials.

The service was excellent throughout the evening and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Nova Room experience on the forth deck of the Star of Honolulu.

Reviewed by: junn＆poteto

We participated as a couple over the age of 60. Since we were there, we decided to go to the top floor. We dressed in a way that didn't require us to touch the code. By the window, there were couples from various countries who seemed to be newlyweds, immersed in their own world, while the center seats were mostly families enjoying their meals, the scenery, and jazz. During the Memorial Day event, there was a sense of unity in celebration, but everyone enjoyed themselves at their own pace at their respective tables. Of course, we also had a leisurely and relaxed time.

The entrance to the stern was close, and it was great to see the fireworks as well as the hotel buildings on both sides. After the fireworks, when I held the door to keep it from closing like a doorman, everyone thanked me. Even a Japanese person said thank you, and we all laughed together as we realized we were fellow passengers. The food was delicious, and the portions were just right. My wife was also satisfied and very happy. Unfortunately, there was no welcome from the captain. I hope for improvement in that area. This year, I would like to try a different deck.

還暦を過ぎた夫婦２人で参加しました。折角ならと最上階へ。コードに触れない程度の服装で参加しました。窓際は新婚さんと思しき各国のカップルさんが、自分達の世界に浸り、センター席はファミリーが多く思い思いに食事、風景、ジャズを楽しんでいました。メモリアルデーイベントでは、お祝いで一体感となりましたが、各自のテーブルごとそれぞれのペースで楽しんでいました。勿論我々ものんびり、ゆったりの時間でした。

船尾への出入り口が近く、花火は勿論、ホテル群が左右に見渡せ良かったです。
花火の後、ドアマンの如くドアが閉まるのを抑えていたら、皆さんにサンキュウと言われました。日本人の方にも言われ、乗客の一人ですとお互い大笑いでした。
料理は美味しく、量も丁度良かったです。妻も満足し、大変喜んでいました。
残念ながら、船長出迎えは有りませんでした。改善を望みます。

Reviewed by: すずき

I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming alongside us for a long time. The whales were quite elusive, but we managed to spot one in the distance after continuing to move the boat. It seems that there are significant differences in sightings depending on the day.

Along with sunscreen, motion sickness medication is essential. When heading out to search for whales, the waves can be quite rough, and it can be pretty scary until you get used to it. There were even children who fell inside the boat. The guide was speaking in English and kept cracking quite a few dad jokes. I recommend this for those who aren't afraid of the ocean's swaying!

イルカの群れも並走し長く見ることができました。
鯨はなかなかあらわれずでしたが、
がんばって船を動かしつづけ最後遠くにですが、見ることができました。
日によって見れる時と見れない時の差がはげしいようです。

日焼け止めとともに、

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Lovely cruise with wonderful sunset and waikiki beach view!

Reviewed by: Jim & Susan

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.

On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.

The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

There were only two of us participating from Japan. Everything was explained in fast-paced English, which I couldn't understand at all, but that was expected, so it wasn't a problem. I was satisfied to see the whale's tail from a distance a few times, which was also within my expectations. However, when snacks were being distributed, they didn't even acknowledge us, and when we were getting off, they kept looking at our hands, probably checking if we would leave a tip? I got off the boat feeling disappointed.

日本人の参加は私達2人だけでした。説明など全て早口の英語で全くわからなかったけど、想定内の事なので問題なし。クジラも遠くに尻尾が見える程度でこれも想定内でしたので､何度か見る事ができたので満足でした。ただ、スナックを配ばる際､私達2人には声もかけてもらえず、降りる時､ずっと手元を見られていて、チップ入れるか確認してたのかな？残念な思いで下船しました。

The upper deck was great for taking pictures. We started off with a charcuterie board that had tasty cheeses and fruit. The second course included lobster over a beet salad with a nice puree. My only reservation was the meat which was overcooked in my opinion, but to be fair, I'm sure many people prefer a medium-well filet. Taking pictures in between courses was a huge plus and didn't make us feel confined to the table. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time.

[Beltora Staff Experience] Amazing luck! I got to see a whale! 【ベルトラスタッフ体験談】強運に感動！クジラに会えました！

Reviewed by: S.VELTRA

When it comes to winter in Hawaii, whale watching is definitely a highlight! I participated in early February 2024.

I took an Uber from my hotel to the meeting point for the first morning tour. During this time of year, it can get a bit cool in the mornings and evenings, so having a light jacket was a good idea. Upon arriving at the meeting point right next to the Prince Hotel, I found many guests from the mainland USA already lined up. (It seemed there were few Asian guests.) After giving my name to a staff member in a PINK SAILS uniform, I completed the check-in process. Once the boat was ready, we were guided to board.

The interior of the boat is spacious, but seats at the front and on the upper deck are taken in the order of boarding. If you hesitate, you might miss out on a good seat, so I recommend getting in line early!

I was a bit anxious about seasickness, but the waves were calm on the day I participated. Since it was a catamaran, there was little rocking, and I could enjoy the pleasant sea breeze. We departed the harbor and moved a little off the coast of Waikiki. The boat stopped near Hilton's beach, and the whale watching began. Fortunately, during my tour, we spotted a mother and calf whale within just a few minutes, coming close enough to see them clearly. We maintained a respectful distance to avoid stressing the whales, allowing us to observe their fins and spouts for a while.

The onboard guide spoke entirely in English, providing detailed explanations about whale behavior, including parenting methods, as well as the direction of where to look for the whales. While good listening skills in English are necessary, there were many interesting stories that were very informative. The guide also indicated the direction of the whales (like 11 o'clock or 3 o'clock), and all the guests from the mainland were looking in the same direction. Even if someone missed the English explanation, they could follow the gaze of the other guests to spot the whales!

However, since the color of the whales' backs can blend in with the ocean, it might be difficult to see them from a distance. If you're prepared, bringing binoculars could help you see better.

After enjoying the whale watching, a pod of dolphins appeared in the distance. While they didn't jump high, they surfaced and showed their fins, and compared to the whales, the dolphins were more playful and adorable, which was a delightful surprise. Just when I thought I was already satisfied with the whales, the excitement continued! A white woman sitting next to me kept exclaiming "Oh my god" in delight, and the little children were also visibly thrilled.

Seeing such precious wildlife off the coast of Waikiki, surrounded by tall buildings, truly showcases the unique beauty of Hawaii's nature. It seems there are days when you might not see anything depending on the wave conditions and the whales' mood, so I feel incredibly grateful for my good fortune.

I'm really glad I participated. Thank you to all the staff!

冬のハワイの風物詩といえば、やっぱりホエールウォッチングですね！2024年2月初旬に参加しました。

朝一番の回、ホテルからUberで集合場所まで移動。この時期のハワイは朝晩少し涼しくなりますので、薄手の上着があって良かったです。プリンスホテル真横の集合場所に到着すると、既にたくさんの米国本土のお客様が並んでいました。（アジア系のゲストは少ない様子でした。）
PINK SAILSさんの制服を着たスタッフさんに名前を伝えればチェックイン完了です。船の準備が整ったところで乗船の案内をいただきました。
船内は広々していますが、前の席や上のデッキ等は乗船した順で取られていきます。遠慮していると良い席に座れなくなりますので、早めに列に並んでおくのがお勧めです。！

船酔いしないか少しヒヤヒヤしていましたが、私が参加した日は波も穏やか。カタマラン船なので船の揺れも少なく、気持ち良い潮風を感じることもできました。港を出発しワイキキ沖を少し進みます。ヒルトンのビーチが見える辺りで船が止まり、クジラ探しがスタート。私の参加回は強運なことに数分の創作でクジラの親子が見つかり、ギリギリ見えるくらいの距離まで接近してくれました。親子のストレスにならないようにボートとクジラの距離を保ちながら、しばらくクジラの背びれや潮吹きの様子を見ることができました。

船内のガイドは全て英語ですが、クジラの見える方向に加えて子育ての仕方などもクジラの生態も丁寧に説明してくれます。英語のリスニング力が必要ですが、興味深い話も多く、大変参考になりました。
またクジラが見える場所については、何時の方向（11時の方向、3時の方向等）で教えてくれますし、一緒に乗っているアメリカ本土のお客さんが全員同じ方向を向いてくれます。英語ガイドを聞き逃した人も、周りのお客さんに合わせて視線を向ければ、クジラの姿に気がつくはず…です！

なお、クジラの背中と海の色が似ているため、なかなか遠くからは見えづらい場合もあると思います。準備ができる方は望遠鏡などを持っていくとよく見えるかもしれません。

一通りクジラウォッチングを楽しんだ後、遠くにイルカの群れが現れてました。大きなジャンプこそなかったですが、鼻を出してくれたり、背びれを見せてくれたり、クジラに比べてアグレッシブでかわいいイルカたちも見られ感動でした。クジラだけでも大満足だったところに嬉しいサプライズ！横に乗っていた白人女性の方は嬉しさのあまり「Oh my god」と言い続け、小さなお子さんたちも大喜びの様子でした。

ビルが立ち並ぶワイキキ沖でこんなに貴重な野生動物が見られるなんて、ハワイの大自然は唯一無二ですね。
波の状況やクジラの気分によっては見られない日もあるようなので、自身の強運には驚きと感謝ばかり。

参加でき本当に良かったです。スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました！

Fortunately, I encountered a whale. 運良く、くじらに遭遇しました

Reviewed by: よみたけ

Since I was staying at Hawaiian Village, it was easy to find the location of Pink Sails in front of Prince Waikiki, about a 15-minute walk. We set sail at 8 AM, and during the two-hour trip, we were able to see the spouts from a distance several times. When we turned around, we encountered a whale swimming slowly parallel to our boat, and later, two more whales swam by. Finally, we saw one of them slowly sinking its tail as if to say goodbye. I think a smaller boat would have allowed us to see them even closer, but I felt very lucky. I bought motion sickness medication at ABC Mart and took it beforehand. If you plan to go, I recommend bringing some from Japan.

ハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたので、徒歩15分くらいで、プリンスワイキキ前のピンク・セイルズの場所はわかりやすかったです。朝8時に出航し、2時間の間に遠目に潮吹きを何度か見られて、Uターンしたころに、船にゆっくりと並行するくじらと遭遇、そのあとも2頭のくじらが泳ぎ去り、最後にさよならをするようにゆっくりとしっぽを沈めていくのを見ることが出来ました。もう少し小さな船のほうが、もっと間近で見られていたようにですが、とても運が良かったと思います。酔い止めはABCマートで買い事前に飲みました。予定しているのなら日本からの持参をお勧めします。
