First time to Hawaii and first time for whale watching. The ship is big and nice, staff are friendly, and we get to see whales multiple times, sometimes at very close range, maybe 60 ft from the ship. Very good experience, and the price for morning shift is only $29.99, unbeatable. Overall very good!

I participated in the morning activities. I only used Star of Honolulu for the dinner cruise, but I wish there was an afternoon whale watching + sunset dinner cruise.
Considering the cost, it was affordable and I got to see whales, so that's okay?
Last March, I had a lot of fun with a large pod of dolphins, whales, and snorkeling.
Please come up with various plans.
午前中のものに参加しました。スターオブホノルルはディナークルーズでしか、利用しなかったのですが、午後ホエールウオッチ+サンセットクルーズディナーが、あればいいのにと思いました。
コスト的にはお安く鯨がみえたので、まあいいか?
昨年、3月は、イルカの大群と鯨とシュノーケルで随分楽しみました。
色々な企画を考えてください。

We really enjoyed our day. The staff was great and we saw at least 2 pods of wales. Not sure if they are called pods but we saw them. The breakfast was good but the eggs were a bit grainey. It was worth the price we paid.

We participated in a breakfast course with three family members. We saw the tail just once, but our child is only five years old, so we didn't have time to lift them up and see it properly. The breakfast was delicious. Since we ate in the dining room on the first floor, it didn't have the excitement of a 3-star or 5-star cruise. If a whale had appeared, it would have been more lively, but without that, we were just staring at the waves, which became boring. I think snorkeling would be better for families with children.
家族3人で朝食つきコースに参加しました。
一回だけ尻尾がでたのですが、子供はまだ5歳。
もちあげる時間もなく、見ることはできませんでした。
朝食はおいしかったです。
一階の食堂で食べるので、3スターや、5スターのクルーズの楽しさはありません。
くじらが出れば、まわりも盛り上がるのでしょうが、出ないとただ波間を眺めているだけなので、退屈してしまいました。
子供連れの方は、スノーケリングのがいいと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that your children were unable to observe whales this time.

I participated in the morning tour. I only caught a glimpse of a whale from a very far distance just once. I was looking for spouts and saw something black come up to the surface, but honestly, I couldn't tell if it was a whale or not. After the tour, there was a recheck desk, but I didn't have time, so I got off without receiving a reboarding ticket.
How many whales can you actually see on this tour? Can you see them up close like it says on the website or in guidebooks? From the experiences I've read, it seems like about half of the people see whales and half do not, but if those who saw them only caught a distant glimpse like I did, I don't think it's worth participating. I was able to see whales from a distance later at Kamaole Beach in Maui.
However, since it's quite a nice boat, if you think of it as a cruise, you won't feel too disappointed.
午前中のツアーに参加しました。一度だけすごく遠くから鯨がチラッと見れただけです。水吹きを探して、何か黒いものが水面に上がったのを見ましたが、正直鯨かどうかもわかりませんでした。ツアー終了後Recheckの受付はありましたが、時間がないので、再乗船券をもらわずに降りました。
そもそもこのツアーはどのぐらい鯨が見られるんでしょうか?ホームページやガイドブックに載っているような、すごい近くで見ることができるんでしょうか?体験談を見ると、見れない人と「見た」人半々ぐらいですが、もし「見た」人も私のように遠くから見ただけなら、あまり参加しなくてもいいと思います。その後マウイのカマオレビーチで普通に遠くから鯨が見れましたから。
ただし、結構立派な船なので、クルーズだと思ってしまえば、そんなに損した気分にはならないです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.

Regarding the distance from the whales, due to legal regulations, boats must maintain a distance of 100 meters from the whales.

I had seen the fireworks from Aloha Tower before, so I wanted to change things up, and I had always wanted to ride the Star of Honolulu, so I decided to participate.
Initially, I imagined that there would be some not-so-great food served, and we would just wait for the fireworks while drinking. However, the food was not only plentiful but also quite tasty, and there was a show to keep us entertained from departure to arrival. I think it lasted just under three hours, and I had a great time.
As for the scenery, the sunset was nice, but the night view of Honolulu was beautiful, and I was satisfied because I could see the fireworks well.
If I had to mention a downside, it would be that it was quite cramped due to the number of people, and most of the participants were Japanese, which made it feel a bit lacking in local charm. The woman sitting next to me seemed to be seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to be cautious.
アロハタワーからの花火は見たことが有るので趣向を変えてみてみたいと思っていた事と、一度はスターオブホノルルに乗ってみたいと思っていたので参加しました。
当初想像としてはあまりおいしくない食事が少し出て、後は飲み物でも飲みながら花火が上がるまで待つのかなと思っていましたが、料理は量もさることながら味の方もなかなかでしたし、出港から帰港までショーで盛り上げてくれて3時間弱だったと思いますが楽しく過ごせました。
又、景色ですがサンセットもそれなりに綺麗なのでしょうが、夜景のホノルルの町も綺麗で、花火も良く見えた事から満足しています。
難点を言えばかなり詰め込むので窮屈な事と参加のほとんどが日本人であまり風情が無い事でしょうか。私の隣の席にいた女性は船酔いをしている様でしたので乗り物に弱い人も少し注意した方が良いかもしれません。
Thank you very much for participating in our New Year's Eve cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food and entertainment. It's a way to spend New Year's Eve that you can't easily experience in Japan.
This special cruise is very popular and sells out every year, which we are truly grateful for. However, it is also true that with so many guests enjoying themselves, the seating can feel a bit cramped. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort this may have caused.
We hope you will come back and enjoy our cruise again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

We participated in a tour on the morning of December 19, just as the season started, as a couple. Although we only got to see a dolphin briefly, it was not a disappointing experience, and we were satisfied with the cruise, which had a different charm from the sunset dinner. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the background of the photo taken during boarding included an old warehouse and a cargo ship. (However, since it was a keepsake, I ended up purchasing it...) The food was cheap. Since we were returning home the next day, the reboarding ticket seems like it will go to waste, but I was satisfied as it provided a good conversation starter.
今シーズンがスタートしたばかりの12/19の午前中のツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
イルカをちょっと見られただけで、残念な結果ではありましたが、サンセットディナーとは趣の違うクルーズで満足でした。
敢えて苦言を呈するなら、乗船時の写真撮影で、背景に古ぼけた倉庫と貨物船が写っていたこと。(でも、記念なので購入しましたが・・・)。食事がチープ。
翌日帰国だったので、再乗船のチケットは無駄になりそうですが、話のタネとして満足でした。

We booked the early bird whale watching tour in early January. The ship, crew and food were great but we didn't see as many whales as I had hoped. We did find two whales swimming together and the ship was able to follow them for awhile so we got a few good pictures of the whales blowing water up, their backs surfacing and their tails coming out of the water.
It sounds like that was considered a good trip for Honolulu whale watching so I was happy with it. A lady we talked to had gone out on the same tour the day before and she didn't see anything so she came back out with our group the next day.
If you're looking to really see the whales, I would suggest going to Lahaina in Maui if possible. My husband and I booked an island tour of Maui later on in our vacation and we saw more whales in a shorter time period by driving down the coast near Lahaina than we did on our whale watching tour in Honolulu. It's still a good tour for those in Oahu though!

I had never visited Hawaii during the winter season, so I was looking forward to whale watching. The boat was large and more than adequate, but since it carried many passengers, I wished they had made some efforts to gather information about the whales in advance with smaller boats, so that the guests could enjoy the experience more. Because the boat was so big, it couldn't maneuver easily, and while the captain was likely focused on finding the whales, I felt there could have been a bit more creativity in their approach. Additionally, they offered tickets for another trip if we didn't see any whales, but since the validity period was only until March, it limits those who can return to Hawaii soon. I think at least a one-year validity would be more reasonable. I was also told that the only time available for a second trip was the same morning time, but if they truly wanted to provide good service, they should accommodate afternoon times as well. Everyone has their schedules set while in Hawaii, so I believe that kind of flexibility is necessary.
冬の時期にハワイを訪れたことがなかったので、ホエールウォッチングは楽しみにしていました。船は大きく申し分ありませんでしたが、乗船客もたくさん乗せているので、鯨がいくら自然の生き物であっても、先に小さめの船で鯨の情報を集めておくとか、少しでもお客さんが楽しめるように工夫をしてほしかったです。船が大きいために、小回りが利かないし、船長も鯨を求めて操縦しているのでしょうけれども、もう少し工夫ができるのではないかと感じてしまいました。さらに、鯨に会えなかったら、再度乗船できるチケットを配っていましたが、乗船できる期間も3月まででは、もう一度ハワイにすぐ来れる人は限られてしまうので、せめて有効期限は1年間にしてほしいと思います。乗船できる時間も朝の同じ時間しか無理だと言われましたが、本当に再度乗船してほしいというサービス精神があるのならば、午後の時間でも対応してほしいです。みんな、それなりにハワイでのスケジュールが決まっていると思うので、そのくらいの対応は必要だと思います。

The cruising this time was blessed with good weather, and we even encountered whales off the coast of Diamond Head, making it the best event. My family who participated together was very satisfied. I understood that the limited variety of food at the buffet was acceptable given that it was on a ship. I also appreciated the somewhat hesitant Japanese explanations. After the whale encounter, there were activities on board like hula dance lessons, ukulele lessons, and lei-making experiences, ensuring that passengers were not bored, which made for a fun time.
今回のクルージングでは好天に恵まれ、またダイヤモンドヘッド沖でクジラにも遭遇でき、最高のイベントとなりました。

We took a dinner cruise on the last night to celebrate my parents' 60th birthday and wedding anniversary.
First, we were welcomed with a welcome drink, ukulele music, and hula dancing as we boarded the ship. The staff's service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese.
During the vow renewal, the captain acted as the officiant, offering congratulatory words and reciting the vows of love. We brought leis in advance and exchanged them with my parents. It was a wonderful experience to reaffirm their love and support for each other.
After us, a young foreign couple also had a vow renewal ceremony. Following that, we enjoyed champagne while taking photos with the captain and our family. The sunset was incredibly romantic.
The food was average, but the champagne included in the package, as well as the cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails available with coupons, were very Hawaiian and delicious. The jazz performance was lovely as well.
It might be a good idea to take something for motion sickness. We used a limousine for transportation. Since we don't usually ride in limousines in Japan, it was a great experience.
Although the price is a bit high, it was perfect for the celebration, and my parents were very happy.

After arriving in Hawaii, I received a massage. It felt great, but I felt more of an effect from the hot stone massage I had when I went to Sedona.
ハワイ到着後、マッサージを受けました。気持ちよかったのですが、ホットストーンマッサージはセドナに行った時に受けた方が効果が感じられました。

I decided on this tour after reading various experiences. We gathered early in the morning and traveled to the site by bus. The boat was beautiful, and there were drinks and light snacks like cupcakes and yogurt available for us to enjoy at any time. For lunch, there was a light buffet with hamburgers, rice, meat, and potatoes, but I couldn't eat much due to fatigue, seasickness, and drowsiness. I had lunch again separately after returning.
Most of the participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. The tour guide was American, but there was one person who spoke fluent Japanese, providing explanations in Japanese after the English ones.
The weather was nice that day, but we had a hard time spotting dolphins and turtles. We stopped for about an hour to enjoy snorkeling. The water was crystal clear and beautiful. It was fun to throw food and have many fish come right up to me. I was considering diving the next day, but snorkeling was enjoyable enough.
After that, we returned to the boat and finally encountered dolphins. About ten dolphins swam near the boat, seemingly playing with us, and they were really cute.
It was early November, and the sea wasn't too cold, but it did get chilly after being in the water for a long time. You can rent a wetsuit for about ten dollars at the port's reception, not through the tour company. They sell snacks, drinks, and port T-shirts and goods, resembling a souvenir corner, but I didn't see anyone buying anything in particular.
As for wallets, you can leave your belongings or towels on the tables or chairs inside the boat, so it's better not to carry cards or large amounts of cash just in case. It was mentioned that you should bring your passport if you plan to drink alcohol, but I wasn't asked to show it. So, it would be good to have about twenty dollars in a pouch just in case, but I ended up not using any cash at all.
Also, after swimming, it gets cold, so a bath towel and a hoodie or T-shirt to wear on top are essential.
Even if you don't usually get seasick, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. The boat isn't that small or shaky, but since we left early in the morning and I hadn't eaten much for breakfast, I did feel a bit nauseous.
After about an hour of snorkeling and sunbathing for a long time, the early morning conditions were surprisingly tiring, and most people were fast asleep on the bus ride back in the afternoon.
体験談を色々読んでこちらに決めました。朝早く集合してバスで現地まで移動。船は綺麗で、室内にはいつでも自由に飲食できる飲み物、カップケーキやヨーグルトなど軽食がありました。昼食も軽いビュッフェ形式のハンバーガー、ご飯、お肉、ポテト、など出ましたが、疲れや酔いと眠気が手伝ってあまり食べれず。帰って別でまた昼食をとりました。
ほとんどの参加者が外国人で、日本人は少しだけ。ツアー催行者の方もアメリカ人ですが、一人日本語がペラペラな方がいて、日本人にも英語の説明の後に日本語で説明してくれます。
この日は天気は良かったのですがなかなかイルカもカメも見つからず、とりあえず停舶して1時間ほどスノーケリングを楽しみました。海の中は透き通ってすごく綺麗。エサを放り投げてたくさんの魚が目の前まで来て楽しかったです。ダイビングを次の日に考えてましたが、スノーケリングで十分楽しめます。
その後、船に戻ってようやくイルカに出会えました。本当にわざとやってるのかと思うほど10頭ほどのイルカが船の近くで一緒に「遊ぼう!遊ぼう!」と泳いで、とてもかわいかったです。
11月始めですが、さほど海は冷たくなかったですが、長いこと入っていると寒くなってきます。ウェットスーツは10ドルかな?でツアー会社ではなく港の受付で借りれます。ここではお菓子、飲み物や港のTシャツやらグッズ等が売っていて、お土産コーナーのようですが、特に何か買ってる人はいなかったです、、。
お財布などは船内のテーブルや椅子の上に荷物やタオルを置いておくかんじなので、カードや大金は念のため持ち歩かないようにしたほうがいいです。お酒を飲む場合のパスポート持参と書かれていましたが特に提示を聞かれませんでした。なので、ポーチに万が一のために20ドルくらい入れていけばいい感じですが、結局一銭も現金は使っていません。
あとは、泳いだ後が寒いのでバスタオルと上に着るパーカーもしくはTシャツは必須です。
あまり乗り物に酔わない人でも酔い止めは持参したほうがいいです。そこまで小型で揺れる船ではないですが、朝早いので朝食をあまりとってなかったりすると酔います。
1時間ほどのスノーケリング、日差しの下で長い間日焼け、朝早いというコンディションは意外に疲れ、昼の帰りのバスはほとんどの人が爆睡してました。午後からアク

The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience
If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.
Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you
Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.

I attended the Chief's luau with my husband, siblings/spouses, and my elderly parents. A great time was had by all....even got my parents (temporary) tattooed at the event! We enjoyed the pre-show activities and the food was delicious. Chief and his group of entertainers put on an excellent show. This was my first luau, but my siblings had been to others on previous visits and said Chief's luau was their favorite.

This was our first Luau and we are confident in saying that it is quite possibly the best Luau you could attend. It was very authentic and Chief Seilu put on a great show from the dancing to music to his corky comedy. The activities before the Luau and the show itself are a perfect experience for anyone visiting Oahu.

On the last day of my business trip, I had my tired body relaxed. The facial treatment was pleasant, and I was able to relax. I am grateful for that wonderful moment.
I saw that I could choose the massage, but I was presented with a predetermined option. I wanted a massage that warms the back with stones.
It would be even better if there were a place to do my makeup besides the restroom after the treatment.
出張最終日に疲れた体をほぐしてもらいました。
フェイシャルも気持ちよく、リラックスできました。
至極のひと時に感謝です。
マッサージをこちらから選べるとありましたが、
すでに決まったものを提示されました。
石で背中を温めるマッサージを
してほしかったのですけれども。
終了後トイレ以外でお化粧ができる場所を提供して
もらえるとさらによいのではないでしょうか。
