Star of Honolulu Morning Whale Watch Tour with Banana Bread & Coffee [Jan-Mar]
We saw the whales!
Reviewed by: HHY
The boat was nice. The nature expert was very informative and had tons of bad dad jokes. We looked for over an hour before we finally caught sight of the whales. We were pretty far away so we couldn't see them too close. We only stayed for about 10 minutes before heading back, since we were already running late. I'm just glad the trip wasn't for naught.

Star of Honolulu Morning Whale Watch Tour with Banana Bread & Coffee [Jan-Mar]
The WONDROUS Waters of Waikiki comes ALIVE!!
Reviewed by: M & A Tomlinson
There are many breathtaking attractions and stunning tours on Waikiki. NOTHING is better than experiencing the beauty of Hawaii and it's wildlife than from the water - and the Star of Honolulu does it, like no other! Of course, the hope and draw of seeing whales is what brought us to this tour; however, truly, what makes this journey unforgettable is, in fact, the journey!
The boat ride, itself, is nothing short of magical. From the enchantment of rolling out of peer to the unreal experience of being on the ocean, looking towards our hotel from the perception of the sea is nothing we will soon forget! The crew were exceptional at being clear on instructions and protocols, which is appreciated - but truly what dazzled us impressed was how genuinely friendly and eager to help the crew was! I am disabled; the crew did an incredible job helping me and making sure I was alright!
The naturalist on board was great too! He was personable, knowledgeable, and open to questions, without being pushy. He enhanced the trip so much, and ticked our funny bone with his hilarious whale dad jokes!
Finally, seeing whales and dolphins in their own world took everyone's breath away! This was, without a doubt, the icing on the cake! We can honestly say, going on this adventure with the Star of Honolulu was the best and most memorable part of our honeymoon! Four of our biggest thumbs up for this amazing life experience; our biggest thanks to the Star of Honolulu!

2-Hour Afternoon West Oahu Whale Watching Tour - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
It was awesome!
Reviewed by: Aki & Matt
Twenty minutes after leaving Waianae harbor, my husband spotted a whale spout first. After that several pairs of whales were spotted during the 2 hour tour.
We were so excited when one appeared at a distance of about 20 yards (whale came up to the boat) Also we watched a whale with a baby, and the baby appeared to wave to us hitting the surface of the water several times with a pectoral fin awhile looking at us.
The waves weren't so strong on that day, so even I, who get seasick, could spend the day out to sea without any problems. I was relieved that there is a restroom on board.
We relaxed sitting back enjoyed the whales and good drinks with snacks . We really had a great time.
The captain and the three staff members always took care to make us feel comfortable. The boat appears and sounds to be in good working order. We felt safe on it.
Thank you, CPT Dave, Quin, Aaron, and braeden!

2-Hour Waikiki Morning Whale Watching Experience - Moana Catamaran [Dec-Apr]
Well Worth It!
Reviewed by: Ruth
My husband and I booked this at the last minute, so we weren't sure what to expect. We were very positively impressed. The boat was ready on time, clean and in very good shape. The crew were friendly as well as professional, answering any questions, patiently waiting and following signs of whales, and even taking pictures for passengers. It took a bit of patience on the passengers' part, but the crew knew where to go. We saw several pairs of mother whales with their young. At one point there were spouts going up in three different spots around us. And, really, seeing whales never gets old! The slow roll as they surface then the tail flip as they go back under is so peaceful, but thrilling at the same time. Although the crew were all younger folks, the music they played was at first a nice mix of standard pop songs that appealed to all ages. But the best was when they started playing all Hawaiian artists. (The captain joked that the whales like the Hawaiian music best). That music just seems to naturally go along with the sun and swell of the waves. We would definitely recommend this tour (and we already did).

We were able to see quite a few whales, and that was very neat and interesting to see. The staff was very knowmedable about the whales. All of the staff were very kind and helpful with asking if we needed anything to snack on or drink, and with helping us get to our bus after the whale watching.

Reviewed by: Maddie
The crew were fantastic! First part of the trip had difficulty finding the Whales (Mother Nature you know) but the captain and crew were relentless in the search to provide us an excellent experience! We found a group of whales that came extraordinarily close to the boat. Refreshments and snacks were also provided. Great for any traveler, family, couples or solo!

This little adventure is something you won't want to miss out on. I'm really glad we made it part of our Oahu vacation! Knowing ahead that if there were no sightings you would be able to use your ticket again later is awesome. We loved the pineapple drinks on board and the staff was top notch! It's great for all ages! I only wish they had more options for food or snacks, though that could be covid related, I'm not sure. Do this!

2-Hour Afternoon West Oahu Whale Watching Tour - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
WOWW
Reviewed by: Prachi D
This a must do activity. Since Dec to Mar is mating season, they guarantee you sights of whale or will offer you another trip.
Those whales are majestic to watch. The views of west Oahu from the boat were treat to our eyes. I haven’t seen a landscape that beautiful. The good part is our boat was NOT overcrowded at all. The boat also had net at the front where you can sit. Its an amazing experience to feel the ocean waves so close.
The staff was super nice and fun. We were late by 3 mins and still they were courteous and waited for us. The music on boat is fun and the crew will keep entertaining you with the Hawaii'an language to call out whales and also jokes!! They were also helpful in clicking pictures for us. We even managed to get a pic with whale's tail in the background!!!
They offer 1 free drink per person (alcoholic/non-alcoholic) and a snack too :). I would suggest not to drink while on boat if you have a motion sickness. We had US COVID vaccination card so weren't required to take a COVID test. Please check with COVID requirements before booking.

We are so glad that we booked this during our trip to Oahu. With so much to do, we weren't sure if we were making a mistake committing an entire morning to one activity, but we would absolutely do this over again. Doug, Natalie, and Nicole were an awesome crew, striking the perfect balance of fun and informative. We saw quite a few whales while still getting to enjoy the beautiful morning on the catamaran.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ（眺めと解説が良かった）
Reviewed by: Blackadder
鯨はしっかり見られました。
ただしかなり運にも左右されるかもです。自分が行ったときには一頭しか近くにはいなかったようで，それが海面まで上がってくるのを何回か見た感じです。
何頭も見られるときもあるようです。
鯨はそこまで間近で見られるわけではありません（あまり近づくのは禁止されているようです）
また息継ぎをすると潜ってしまうので，次上がってくるのをしばらく待つことになります。
鯨も良いですが，虹がとてもきれいに見え，またワイキキビーチを海側から見えます。そちらの眺めも良かったですね。
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。
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。
