I participated with my 1 year and 9-month-old child.
Having joined other whale watching tours in the past, I can share my thoughts for comparison:
If you really want to see whales, you should go on a small, fast, and maneuverable boat.
I recommend a small group tour that stops the boat if dolphins are spotted and allows you to dive into the sea.
However, for those with children or those who may feel uneasy about small boats, this large boat tour might be the right choice.
It might be better to join with the mindset of hoping to see whales while enjoying a lunch cruise. The food is quite delicious, and there are events on board, so I think it's a tour that won't disappoint.
1歳9ヶ月の子供を連れての参加です。
過去、他にもホエールウォッチングに参加していますので、
比べた感想を言いますと、
クジラを本当に見たいのなら、速度の速い、小回りのきく
小さい船でいくべきです。
クジラのほかにもイルカが見えたら船を止め、
海にもぐらせてくれるような、
そんな少人数のツアーがお勧めです。
しかし子連れや、船酔いなど、小型の船が不安な人にとっては
この大型船のツアーは正解かと思います。
ランチクルーズしたついでに、クジラが見えればいいかな、
という考え方で参加したほうがいいかもしれません。
でも料理はなかなか美味しいですし、船内のイベントもありますし、はずれのないツアーかと思います。

I couldn't see any whales. The boat was large and I didn't feel much rocking. The top deck was very pleasant. However, there were only a few chairs, so it's best to be at the top from the start. If you don't see any whales, you can get a free ticket for another ride, but there was a long line. There were many foreigners, but there were also Japanese announcements, so there were no particular issues.
クジラは見れませんでした。
船は大きくあまり揺れも感じませんでした。
一番上のデッキはとても気持ち良かったです。
でも、椅子が少ししかないので、最初から一番上にいたほうがベストです。
見れなかった場合、再度の無料乗船券をもらえますが、長蛇の列でした。外国人の方が多かったですが、日本語の案内もあり特に問題ありませんでしたよ。

The crew also joined in the fun, making it a very enjoyable event. I participated in the romance dinner, and the jazz performance was wonderful, with all the food being delicious, which made my family happy as well. The only disappointment was the bus transportation; I understand it was New Year's Eve, but the waiting time for both the outbound and return trips was quite long, and I hope for improvements in that area.

I wanted to ride the Star of Honolulu again after my last trip to Hawaii, and while searching, I discovered a fireworks viewing and countdown course on December 31. Since it was a special countdown, I decided to sign up for a more extravagant and memorable experience.
The Star of Honolulu is not just a simple dinner cruise where you enjoy a meal and the night view; it’s a meaningful experience where you sing and dance with the staff. We welcomed the countdown on the deck, and we were able to see fireworks from both the Ala Moana area and the Kahala area, as well as fireworks from various other districts, making for a truly luxurious time.
I also ordered champagne, but when I requested to change it to a non-alcoholic option (Shanmeri) on-site, they handled it without any complaints, and the staff was very kind and helpful. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
前回の渡ハの時に乗船したスターオブホノルルに再度乗りたく思い、探していると12月31日の花火観賞&カウントダウンってコースがあるのを発見。
折角のカウントダウンなので、ちょっと豪勢に、そして記憶に残るカウントダウンにしたくて申し込みました。
このスターオブホノルル、ただ食事をして夜景を見て楽しむ単純なディナークルーズではなく、スタッフと一緒に歌って踊ってこそ意味のあるコースです。
カウントダウンは、デッキで迎えた訳ですが、アラモアナ地区であがる花火とカハラ地区?であがる花火を両方(その他色々な地区の花火も見える)見ることができ、とても贅沢な時間を迎えることが出来ました。
追加で、シャンパンを頼んでいたのですが、現地でノンアルコール(シャンメリー)に変更をお願いしたのですが嫌な顔ひとつせず対応してくれましたし、スタッフも親切で助かりました。
また機会があったら参加したいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our New Year's Eve Fireworks Cruise. This special cruise allows you to enjoy the fireworks from the ship and experience the countdown. We are very pleased that you were able to enjoy a different way of welcoming the new year with us.

I participated in the morning plan on December 26. I had joined two years ago, but I could only see something that looked like a whale in the distance, so since it was my last day before returning home, I thought I would enjoy the view from the sea one last time. However...!! From around Diamond Head, whales appeared here and there, jumping one after another!! Everyone was cheering and overjoyed. I saw the very jumps that are often featured in photos on the website right in front of me. I had my digital camera ready and was randomly pressing the shutter, and to my surprise, quite a few good shots came out!! I think whether or not you see whales is a matter of luck, but I never expected such a big show!! It was so much fun. The two hours flew by. The transportation was also very efficient, and I didn't have any issues. You can enjoy the scenery alone, but seeing the whales jump is incredibly exciting!! I definitely want to participate again when I go in the winter.
12月26日午前プランに参加しました。2年前にも参加したのですが、遠くにクジラらしき物が見えた程度だったので、帰国する日だったし、最後に海から景色を楽しもうと思って参加しました。ところが・・・!!ダイヤモンドヘッド沖辺りからクジラがあっちにもこっちにも現れ・・・次々にジャンプするではありませんか!!もう、みんな歓声をあげて大喜びです。よく、ホームページ等に載っている写真そのもののジャンプが目の前で見られました。持っていたデジカメを見当をつけて構え、適当にシャッターを押していたのですが、結構写っていてこれもびっくり!!クジラが現れるかどうかは運しだいだと思うのですが、こんなにも大サービスしてくれるとは!!とっても楽しかったです。あっという間の2時間でした。
送迎もてきぱきしていて困ったことはありませんでした。景色だけでも楽しめますが、やはりクジラのジャンプを見られると大興奮です!!また冬に行ったときには絶対参加したいと思っています。
This is the Star of Honolulu.

My husband and I went on this sail last year in Hawaii, and it was by far the best time I had while I was there. The catamaran is really beautiful and I loved just chilling out on the nets at the front of the boat. The hubby and I just snuggled and sipped our drinks while watching the fireworks and the skyline. All of Waikiki was sparkling and being on the water was the BEST way to see the fireworks. I know that back at home, it can get really crowded on the shoreline so not having to deal with the mess of people was a fantastic perk. A great big thank you to the captain and crew and we will see you again soon!

I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with my mother and aunt. Since it was my first time riding a boat in Hawaii, I was filled with excitement, but perhaps I had too many expectations, as it turned out to be a bit disappointing... All we saw were the spouts and part of the tail of a whale. However, the crew did their best to chase after the whales, showing their commitment to entertaining the guests. Since we are dealing with wild animals, it really is a matter of luck.

OK, there was a pod of 200 dolphins swimming all around our boat - which was a trip, sunset views were awesome - you won't see a sunset like this one in Waikiki, believe me I went one TWO sailing trips in Waikiki last week, which were great too ... but on this trip we actually saw the sun slip away behind the ocean horizon. The crew was so friendly and chill and accommodating ... no pressure ... no trying to shamelessly sell you stuff, actually, Captain Patrick shared all the free stuff to do along the coast, we saw the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Disney hotel too. The snorkeling was great! The food was simple and healthy and tasty! Yum! I understand that this is a newer tour so we only had about 18 people on a 49 capacity boat .... so lots of room to stretch out and get some tanning done. Thank you all at the Ocean Joy for such an amazing experience! We will be back the Kai oli oli again!!

I travel to Hawaii with friends about twice a year. This time, due to work commitments, I ended up going a day earlier by myself, so I decided I wanted to have a different experience and opted for a massage.
Actually, I realized during the flight that I had double-booked it with another activity. In other words, I mistakenly reserved the date wrong. I thought there would be no refund for a same-day cancellation, but after checking into the hotel, I contacted them to let them know I couldn't make it.
They responded in English and asked if there was another day that would work for me, so in the end, I was able to receive the massage on my first day of arrival. The massage I received was called "Lomi Pohaku," which combines Lomi Lomi massage and oil massage. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but they carefully and slowly worked on all the tired areas of my body in a calm atmosphere, and it felt so good that I almost fell asleep. This time, Yoko was my therapist, and I could really feel the fatigue melting away from my head to my toes.
I plan to go to Hawaii again this December, so I definitely want to experience this again as a repeat customer. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
年2回位の割合でハワイ旅行に友達と行っています。
今回、仕事の都合で自分ひとりで1日先に行くことになった為、いつもと違う体験をしたいと考えマッサージを受ける事に決めました。
実は、他のアクティビティとダブルブッキングしている事に飛行機の中で気付きました。つまり日にちを間違えて予約してしまったのです。当日キャンセルは返金なしだと思っていましたのが、とりあえずホテルにチェックイン後、伺えない旨連絡を入れました。
英語での対応でしたが、他の日で都合の良い時間を聞いてくれたので、結果的に到着初日にマッサージを受ける事が出来ました。
私の受けたのは「ロミポハク」というものでロミロミマッサージとオイルマッサージが組み合されているものです。正直、期待していませんでしたが、全身の疲れている個所を丁寧ゆっくりと落着いた雰囲気の中、揉みほぐしてくれて、とても気持がよく眠ってしまうほどでした。今回はYOKOさんが担当してくれましたが、頭からつま先まで疲れがスーと抜けていく感じが実感できました。今年12月に再度またハワイに行く予定なので、必ずまたリピーターとして受けたいと思います。本当に素晴らしい企画をありがとうございます。

We seen so many dolphins and we were even fortunate enough to see Bottlenose Dolphins which are much much bigger than the frequent spinner dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins do not come around the islands very often so this was a real treat, maybe even a once in a lifetime opportunity!!
The crew was very friendly and they held my sister's hand in the water because she is afraid of sea animals. But ONCE she put her mask on and placed her head under the water, it was a whole different world for her filled with beautiful colored fish and a huge reef system that surrounded her.
Wonderful crew, Tasty food, everyone on-board was really friendly and after a nice dip out in the deep blue ocean, you are treated to an open bar. Great Stuff! Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Ocean Joy Cruises for a wonderful dolphin watch and cruise!

I happened to sign up for the tour during the season when whales can be seen. Also, I thought that even if I couldn't see any whales, just being able to see Waikiki from the sea would be good enough, so I signed up with a light heart.
As a result, it was really great.
1. I was able to see the blue whales multiple times.
2. The food was much more delicious than what I had during the magic show, and even when the whales appeared, I was watching from the dining area while eating.
3. My wife usually gets seasick within an hour, but she didn't feel the engine's vibrations and was surprised by how little the boat rocked.
4. While Diamond Head is a great way to get a view of Waikiki, from the sea, we could see all the way to downtown.
5. I experienced my first ukulele class with Americans, Spaniards, and Hawaiians, which was an unexpected experience. It was also fun to see a white girl enjoying hula dance with sparkling eyes.
たまたま鯨が見れるシーズンだったのでツワーに申込ました。また、鯨が見れなくても海上からワイキキが見れれば、それだけでも良いと軽い気持ちで申込ました。
結果として、すごく良かったです。
1.シロナガス鯨を何度も見ることが出来ました。
2.マジックショー等で食べた食事より数段美味しい料理 で、鯨が現れても食事をしながら食堂から見てました。
3.1時間もすれば船酔いする妻ですが、エンジンの振動も 感じられず、揺れの少なさにもびっくりです。
4.ワイキキを一望する方法としてダイヤモンドヘッドもい いですが、海上からだとダウンタウンまで一望できまし た。
5.アメリカ人、スペイン人、ハワイアンの人達と初めての ウクレレ教室を体験し、予定外の体験をすることができま した。白人の女の子が目を輝かせながらフラダンスに興じ ているのを見るのも楽しかったです。

We participated as a couple.
It was the rainy season, but we were blessed with clear skies, making it a great day for a cruise!
About 80% of the participants were Japanese, and 20% were from Western countries.
We took a bus to the boat, and after getting off, we were guided by the staff to our seats, so being towards the front allowed us to sit by the window.
The air conditioning on the boat was the strongest I experienced during my time in Hawaii, so it would have been nice to have something to wrap around me. However, you can help yourself to warm drinks.
Seeing whales depends on luck, but we were able to see them from a distance. Having seen them up close before, I wished we could have seen them a bit closer this time. But it was still exciting!
The meal was a buffet, and everything was delicious. However, the desserts were quite sweet, so I left some behind.
After the meal, we experienced making a lei. I had never done it before, so it was fun! You can take it home with you. The cost is included in the tour.
This was more than just whale watching; it was a really great cruise experience!
夫婦で参加しました。
雨季の時期でしたが快晴に恵まれ、クルーズをするにはとてもいい日でした!
参加者は日本人8割、欧米人2割といった感じです。
バスで船まで向かうのですが、バスを降りてからスタッフに連れられ船に向かうとそのまま順番に席に案内されるので、前のほうにいたおかげで窓側に座ることができました。
船内はハワイで過ごした中で1番冷房が効いていたので、はおるものがあればいいかなと。でも温かい飲み物をセルフで飲めます。
クジラはその日の運ですが、遠くで見ることができました。以前に近くで見たことがあるだけに、もう少し近くで見たかったです。でもやっぱり興奮します!
食事はバイキングで、どれもおいしかったです。ただスイーツはかなり甘いので、残してしまいました。

We participated with 10 family members and friends.
We were able to see whales, of course!
The staff promptly informed us when the whales appeared.
There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, so they provided interesting and easy-to-understand explanations in Japanese.
In addition to the whales, our family participated in a hula dance lesson, which was a lot of fun.
I also joined a ukulele lesson with my friends.
Additionally, they provided live music, which kept things engaging.
The food was better than I expected.
家族、友人と10名参加しました。
クジラはもちろん見れました!!
スタッフの方がクジラが出てきたら、すぐに教えてくださいます。
日本語が話せるスタッフもいらっしゃったので、日本語で面白くわかりやすく説明してくれました。
また、クジラ以外でも、フラダンスのレッスンに家族で参加し、とても盛り上がりました。
ウクレレレッスンにも友人と参加しました。
あと、生演奏もしてくれ、飽きさせないところが良いです。
食事も思ったより美味しかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in our whale watch cruise. We are delighted to hear that you were satisfied with the hula lesson, ukulele lesson, and the whales.
When you visit Hawaii again, we also offer sunset dinner cruises and dolphin watch cruises, so please enjoy those as well.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

We went with a group of friends this past Saturday on the Early Bird cruise and it was fabulous! We saw whales pretty much the moment we left the harbor and we got lots of pictures. It wasn't too crowded at all. The ship is very nice, very well maintained and clean. The crew was very friendly and helpful.
I recommend motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. I am, and even though I took it beforehand I still got seasick.
We saw a pod of three whales, dolphins, and albatross. A very neat experience for us and the kids.

I participated in an early morning cruise. When it comes to the winter sea, it's all about whales. I was torn between a whale tour and this one, but I decided to take a chance on the winter sea and chose this tour.
Although it was a dolphin tour, we stopped at a point where we could see whales at the beginning of the cruise, and I was able to see my long-awaited whales. I was also satisfied to see a mother and baby whale!
Then, we encountered many dolphins, and just when I thought we found one, a group of a dozen dolphins appeared, which was so exciting! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as I saw a lot of fish.
I'm not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to snorkel with peace of mind. This time, there were three generations participating, from 0 to 71 years old, and my 3-year-old son enjoyed snorkeling, while my in-laws also had a great time on the cruise and snorkeling.
There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, which was reassuring. I couldn't eat lunch on the boat due to a bit of seasickness, but the staff kindly packaged it for me to take home. I ate it at the hotel after returning, and it was light and delicious.
早起きクルーズに参加しました。
冬の海といえばクジラ。クジラツアーと悩んだのですが、
冬の海に賭けて、こちらのツアーを選択しました。
イルカツアーでしたが、クルーズのはじめはクジラが見えるポイントへも寄ってくれて、念願のクジラを見ることができました。親子クジラにもあえて満足!
そして、本題のイルカにもたくさんあえました。1頭見つけたと思ったら十数頭のイルカの群が現れて大興奮!
その後のシュノーケリングもお魚がたくさんみえました。
私はカナヅチなのですが、ライフジャケットのお陰で安心してシュノーケリングできました。
今回三世代で0歳~71歳の参加でしたが、3歳の息子もシュノーケリングを楽しみ、義両親もクルーズ&シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
スタッフは日本語の堪能な方がいて安心できました。
昼食はちょっと船酔いのため船内で食べられなかったのですが、スタッフのかたが配慮くださり、お持ち帰り用にまとめてくださいました。帰宅後にホテルで食べたのですがあっさりしていて美味しかったです。

I participated in whale watching during my mother and aunt's first trip to Hawaii, as it was the season for it. If you're expecting the spectacular jumps often seen in whale photos, you might be disappointed. However, if you approach it with the mindset of leisurely enjoying a cruise in Hawaii, you might feel lucky and satisfied to see some whales as a bonus.
They made sure we could see the whales well by moving around to chase them, and with lunch included, I think the price is reasonable.
I chose this tour because it was offered in Japanese, and while there were Japanese announcements during the cruise, it was disappointing that the staff's explanations about the whales right after departure were only in English.
母と叔母の初めてのハワイ旅行でホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので参加しました
よくクジラの写真であるような 豪快なジャンプを期待していたらだめです。
ハワイのクルーズをのんびり楽しむくらいの気持ちで参加すれば、おまけにクジラが見られてラッキーと満足できるかも
ちゃんとクジラが良く見られるように、クジラを追いかけ移動もしてくれたし、ランチもついてこの値段だったらOKなのではないでしょうか
ただ、日本語対応コースだったので参加したのですが、航行中のテープアナウンスは日本語もありましたが、出航直後のスタッフのクジラの説明など英語のみだったのが残念でした
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. The captain and the entire crew are dedicated to ensuring that our guests have the opportunity to see whales, and we are constantly on the lookout for them. On some days, we are fortunate enough to witness very active whales performing impressive jumps.
Our Japanese-speaking staff usually accompany the cruise and do their best to assist our guests from Japan. However, we sincerely apologize for any shortcomings in our service. Thank you for your valuable feedback; we will use it to improve our services in the future.
We look forward to welcoming you all back again.

キャプテンまた、クルー一同、お客様に鯨をご覧になって頂きたい一心で、目を見張り鯨を探しております。

ただ、サービスが至らないところがございました様で、大変申し訳ございませんでした。
貴重なご意見有難うございました。今度のサービス改善に役立たせて頂きます。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同、お待ち申し上げております。

Thank you for your comment. Our whale watching rate is quite good as well! However, since we are going to see wildlife, it's best to keep in mind that there may be times when you won't see any.
Each cruise has its strengths and weaknesses, so as you mentioned, it would be good for customers to choose based on their own circumstances.
Thank you for boarding with us.

コメント有難うございます。弊社のクジラ観測率もなかなかですよ!
しかしそこはやはり野生生物を見に行くのですから、見られない場合もあるということを
心に留めて置かれるほうがいいですね。
それぞれクルーズによって得意分野、不得意分野があるかと思いますので、
お客様がコメントされたように、お客様の事情にも合わせてお選びいただけるかとよろしいかと思います。
