My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform

The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.

I participated in a tour on July 3rd. Since the tour location was the beach in front of the Outrigger Reef Hotel, I leisurely walked to the designated spot in the morning!
First, we each signed in before boarding the catamaran!
Most of the participants were foreigners, which really lifted my spirits!
We first headed out to the waters off Waikiki for snorkeling! The blue of the ocean is incredibly beautiful, far beyond what you see at Waikiki Beach! However, I thought there were no fish... but when the crew fed them, suddenly there were fish!!! But only black fish... There were no coral fish or anything like that. The black fish were very timid and would swim away if you got too close...
Since it was a morning catamaran tour, snorkeling early in the day was a bit chilly for us Japanese, so we got out of the water early. Compared to that, the Americans were amazing!!
After snorkeling, the catamaran set sail towards Waikiki! As we sped towards Waikiki, when the boat hit the waves, we were at the front and got splashed all over, getting completely soaked! It was quite fun!!
On the way back, we turned off the engine, and it really felt like a "catamaran cruise."
Also, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication before boarding the catamaran! My mother, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up feeling sick (^_^;).
7月3日にツアーに参加しました。ツアー場所がアウトリガーリーフホテル前のビーチということで、朝のんびりと散歩がてら指定場所に向かいました!!
最初に、一人一人署名をしてからカタマランに乗りました!!
ツアーに参加してる方はほとんど外国の方ばかりなので、気分も上々!!
まずワイキキ沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリング!!海の青さはワイキキビーチと比べものにならないくらい綺麗ですよ!でも、魚がいない・・・と思ったらクルーがえさをあげたら、いつの間にか魚が!!!でも黒い魚のみ・・・コーラルフィッシュなどはいませんでした。。。その黒い魚はとても臆病で近寄ると逃げちゃうんですよ・・・
朝のカタマランツアーなので、早くからのシュノーケリング・・・私たち日本人にはちょっと寒くて早めに海から上がりました。それに比べアメリカ人はすごいね!!
シュノーケリング後、カタマランはワイキキ沖へとセーリング!!ワイキキ沖に向かってスピードを出すので、船と波がぶつかると、前のほうにいた私たちはビッシャンビッシャンとしぶきが飛んできて、ずぶ濡れでした!!それが面白かったですよ!!
帰りはエンジンを切って、これぞ「カタマランクルーズ」ってなかんじでした。
また、カタマランに乗る前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいですよ!普段乗り物酔いしない母が酔いましたから(^_^;)

The captain and his crew were great. They did everything to ensure that we had a pleasurable time. The Na pali coast is incredible. Trip was good for all ages. The water can be rough, so beware if you are prone to seasickness. Only problem was hawaii activities gave us the wrong checkin time. We sat around for 1/2 hour waiting for the checkin. Also the cruise ended alot later then
we had anticipated. But in the big scheme of things , no big deal.

We had a great time on the Navatek. Met some really nice people. The problem was we were right in front of the entertainer's and some in the group complained the volume of the entertainment was too loud. Of course you really couldn't carry on a conversation during dinner because the entertainment was a bit loud! The service was great, the food fantasic, just the entertainment a bit too loud.

We went on the sunset dinner cruise in June 2007 and had a great time! All of the staff was wonderful and very friendly. The dinner was good- nice portions ( we did NOT go home hungry), and the music and show was a blast! The top deck was perfect for taking sunset pictures of Diamond Head. We did the couple's plan and recommend it to any couple deciding on this package. This ended up being a really fun night for the both of us and would highly recommend it to anyone going to Oahu!

We had a great time! We opted for the sit down dinner to get window seats for 4. The dinner was more food than we could eat which was served course by course beginning with cocktails and skewered shrimp, followed by a salad, lobster, and lastly steak and vegetables. They time the meal so that you are finished in time to watch the sunset. There is a small deck outside that only holds about 20; so keep an eye on the time and leave your table early to secure a spot on the deck to watch the sunset. After the sunset return to your table to enjoy the entertainment and dessert. Overall this was a great experience.

It was my mom's birthday and we went with the family ! What a great time we had and the food was just fantastic. A lot of the dinner cruises don't seem to put to much thought and effort in the cuisine, but whoever came up with the menu for the Pacific Star obviously knew what they were doing. The nice thing was how relaxing and quiet it was. My sister walked around the boat and noticed how loud the hula show was, and I am glad that we chose the Pacific Star. The guitar player was top-notch and it was a nice not having to yell at each other to hear everyone over the music.

I often come to Hawaii and have been on pretty much every dinner cruise on almost every island. The Star of Honolulu is a vessel that I often frequent when I am here in the islands since it has always provided my husband and I with a wonderful evening. The Pacific Star has become our new favorite with its initimate lounge setting, quiet atmosphere, delicious Pacific Rim cuisine and a chocolate fondue-like dessert that is to tasty for words. I personally do not like the loud and rowdy hula shows, so the Pacific Star is definitely my cruise of choice!

As the large boat cruised smoothly through the waters of Oahu, my friends and I were able to capture beautiful photos together on the observation deck. With the sea surrounding us, we watched the beautiful sunset. Our dinner was immediately brought to our table with excellent service. We had an excellent steak and all you can eat crab dinner course.

Cruising on the Makani Catamaran on the Friday Night Fireworks Sail was a breathtaking experience!
After departing from Kewalo Basin, the crew quickly set up the sails so the vessel could glide through the water purely on wind power. It was amazing to stand on the bow of the catamaran, with just the sound of the ocean and the breeze in my ears. Normally there is that incessant growl of an engine when you are on a boat, but not on the Makani!
The crew members catered to the guests wonderfully and were always available to take photos, clean up the inevitably drink spill or answer any questions that we had. There were also some very yummy pupus on board, like chicken wraps, spring rolls, pasta salad and some cookies for anyone with a sweet tooth. Rather than being confined to a table, and being served by waiters, guests are free to snack and walk meander around the catamaran as they please. Oh!

This past weekend my kids and I went on the Makani Catamaran Sailing Adventure and we had a great time. As soon as we got on board my kids were so excited. The crew of the boat gave a brief safety tutorial and as soon as they were done we were headed for sea. There was food for everyone and a bar to purchase drinks. It was such an adventure especially if you like the sun, the wind, and the waves. My kids joined some of the other guests on the net that was located at the front of the Makani, loving the cool splashes of the water as we picked up speed, while being able to see right under where they sat. The crew was so polite and friendly always checking to make sure that everyone is alright. I would definitely recommend this tour to you if you like the relaxing yet adventurous activities while being able to view the beautiful scenery of the water and land of Oahu.

For those interested, you can purchase a DVD with many edited photos taken on the boat.
For small children, they provide life jackets, which is reassuring.
When boarding, the water can be up to your knees, so sandals are recommended.

The sunset cruising on the day we arrived in Hawaii was fantastic for our family of four (two children in the second and fourth grades and my wife).
Benefit 1: It's safe for children. We dressed the kids in marine boots to prevent slipping and in towel-like clothing (a cover-up for the poolside). When boarding the yacht, they splashed in the sea up to their knees before climbing the ladder. Be careful with sneakers as they won't dry by the next morning. The boat can sway, so marine boots are recommended to avoid slipping. When the kids board, the crew members lift them up, which is reassuring. My second daughter, in the second grade, was on the net of ropes stretched in front of the mast of the catamaran. Below the rope net is the sea itself. When a few waves came, the yacht swayed, splashing water, and she happily went towards the splashes, saying it was like a roller coaster. I thought the drinks were free, but when I ordered a special cocktail with the yacht's design, it was $4. It's quite a large serving, so sharing one between two people might be better. It's a sweet tropical cocktail. By the way, all the explanations were in English. I didn't understand much, but since we were just on board, it wasn't a problem.
Benefit 2: Jet lag countermeasure. Even if you can sleep on the flight from Narita, it's only for 3-4 hours, so by the time we arrived in Hawaii around 3 PM, we started to feel tired. If you fall asleep here, you won't be able to have dinner, and you'll feel sleepy again the next afternoon. However, activities that require physical movement can be a bit tough, and activities that involve bus transfers make you fall asleep right away. So, we participated in this cruising. We enjoyed the view of Diamond Head, a symbol of Hawaii, from the yacht, felt the cool breeze and ocean spray, and had a little cocktail. After that, we slowly watched the sunset and arrived at the beach at dusk. This time we stayed at the Royal Hawaiian, and since Halekulani is right next door, we had dinner there before returning to the hotel. I recommend it for those staying in Waikiki. This was my second time on board, but there were still mostly foreigners, which added to the foreign atmosphere. Personally, I love yachts, so this was the best activity during our time in Hawaii.
ハワイ到着当日のアクティーとして最高。家族4人(小学2年と小学4年の子ども二人と家内)でサンセットクルージングに参加しました。メリット1.子どもでも安心して乗れます。子どもの服装は、滑らないようにマリンブーツを履かせ、タオル地の服(プールサイドで着る上着)にしました。ヨットに乗るときにも膝くらいまでバシャバシャ海に入ってから、ラダーを登ります。運動靴だと翌朝までに乾かないので注意。船は揺れることがあるので、すべって転ばないようにマリンブーツの方がお勧めです。子どもが乗船するときには、クルーのお兄さんが抱き上げて連れて行ってくれるので安心。小学2年の次女は双胴船のマスト前方に張ってあるロープの網の上に乗っていました。ロープの網の下はすぐ海そのもの。少し波がくると、ヨットが揺れ、ザブーンとしぶきがかかり、「ジェットコースターのようでおもしろい」と自分からしぶきのかかる方へ行き大満足。フリードリンクかなーっと思っていましたが、ヨットの模様がついている特製カクテルを頼んだところ4ドルでした。かなり量があるので、2人で1つ取った方がよいかも。甘いトロピカルカクテルです。ちなみに、説明は全て英語。殆ど分かりませんでしたが、乗っているだけなので問題なし。メリット2.時差ぼけ対策。成田からの飛行機では寝られても3~4時間なので、ハワイについて午後3時頃になると疲れが出てきます。ここで寝てしまうと夕食も取れないし、また明日も午後に眠くなったしまいます。でも、体を動かすアクティーはちょっと大変だし、バスで移動するアクティーはすぐに寝てしまいます。そこで、このクルージングに参加。ハワイのシンボル(?)ダイアモンドヘッドをヨットから眺め、涼しい風とオーシャンシャワー(波しぶき)をあびて、カクテルをちょっとだけも飲みます。その後、サンセットをゆっくりみた後、夕暮れのビーチに到着。今回はロイヤルハワイアンに泊まったのですが、すぐ隣がハレクラニなので、そこで夕食をとりホテルへ戻りました。ワイキキにお泊まりの方にはお勧めです。今回が2回目の乗船ですが日本人にはまだあってません。外人さんばっかりで、外国気分にもひたれていい感じです。私は個人的にヨットが好きなので、今回のハワイの中で最高のアクティでした。

I thought I would want to ride a yacht when I saw the blue ocean in Hawaii, so I made a reservation in advance. I told my companions that being in the sun would quickly alleviate any jet lag, using it as an excuse to choose this activity on the first day. The deep blue of the ocean, the refreshing breeze, and the strong sun were beautiful even in the evening. What surprised me was that the majority of the passengers were Americans, or rather, white people. They were lively and cheerful, which lifted my spirits and made me feel very happy. I had planned to enjoy the sunset while relaxing. Well, this is part of the journey. By the way, the check-in was on the sandy beach of Waikiki, which was somewhat confusing, and I felt a bit anxious about whether I was in the right place. Also, having to go barefoot was different from a regular cruise. Since it was a small boat, there was a toilet, but it was almost like there wasn't one. I wouldn't say I'm a boat enthusiast, but you won't find a yacht with such high cost performance anywhere else.
ハワイの青い海を見たらヨットに乗りたくなるだろうなと思っていたので事前に予約しておきました。太陽に当たれば時差ぼけもすぐに解消すると同行者に言ってこのアクティビティを初日に選ぶ口実にしました。期待通りの海の藍さと風の爽快さ、強い太陽も夕方だから綺麗。予想と違ったのは、アメリカ人というか白人が乗客の大半だったこと。ワイワイがやがやと明るいこと、明るいこと、気持ちが高ぶってとても楽しい気分になりました。予定は、夕陽を見ながらたそがれようかと思っていたのでした。まあ、これも旅か。そうそう、ワイキキビーチの砂浜でチェックインなのでなんとなくわかりにくく、これでいいのかと少々不安だったことと、裸足にならないといけないことが普通のクルーズと違うことでしょうか。小さな船だからトイレはあるけどないようなもんかな。船好きだからというわけではないけれど、こんなにコストパフォーマンスが高いヨットもないですよ。

This time, I participated in the sunset cruise. I have been on various boats in the past, but the best part of this cruise was how close we were to the sea! You can really feel the surface of the water and the waves right there. The boat has seats, but at the front, there’s just a sturdy net stretched out, and you can see the water below you from there, allowing you to sit directly on it. At first, it’s a bit scary, but once you get used to it, it feels really nice, and I highly recommend it. However, be careful if you sit at the very front, as you might get splashed by the waves (^^).
I usually get seasick, but I didn’t feel any motion sickness at all on this open, breezy cruise.
For those who will participate in the future, here’s some information:
- You board the boat directly from the sandy beach, so your feet will get wet. It’s better to wear shoes that you don’t mind getting wet.
- It can be hot when the sun is out, but it gets chilly on the way back. I think it’s a good idea to bring a long-sleeve shirt.
- On the way back, there’s a place to wash your feet before entering the hotel from the beach. Having a towel is convenient.
- As for the restroom... it takes some courage to use it. The restroom door is a bit see-through, so I think it’s better for women to assume there isn’t one.
- Alcohol is served, so you’ll be asked to show something that proves your age before boarding. It might be handy to bring a copy of your passport.
今回はサンセットクルーズの方に参加しました。
クルーズは、過去にも大小とりどりの船に乗ったことがありますが、このクルーズでの一番のよかったところは「海が近い!」。海面と波がすぐそこに感じられます。船にはいすはありますが、前の方には、床というか底というか、丈夫な網が張られただけで、見下ろすと海面が見える場所があり、そこに直接座れるようになっています。最初は怖いですが、これが慣れるとかなり気持ちがよく、お薦めです。但し、本当に前の方に座ると、波を直接浴びることもありますのでご用心ください(^^)。
私は、船には弱い方ですが、この開放感あふれ、風が気持ちのよいクルーズでは全く船酔いしませんでした。
今後参加される方のための情報として、
・船に乗るのは砂浜から直接乗りますので、足が水につかります。
ぬれてもいい靴を履いていった方がいいです。
・日が出ているときは暑いですが、帰りは冷えます。長袖は持参した方がいいと思います。
・帰り、浜辺からホテルの中に入る際に、足を洗う場所があります。タオル1枚あると便利です。
・トイレ。。。ここに入るには勇気がいります。トイレのドアは少々透けていますので、女性の方はトイレはないものと思っていた方がいいと思います。
・アルコールが出るので、乗船前に年齢がわかるものを見せるよう言われます。
パスポートのコピーとか持っていくと、便利かもしれません。

Yesterday, I had my first experience sailing. I wanted to write about it while the excitement was still fresh.
First, I handed my voucher to the blonde lady at the reception and checked in smoothly. This lady was quite beautiful, I must say. Since we were departing from the beach, beach sandals are better than regular shoes. By the way, I made the mistake of wearing regular shoes... (^。^;) I heard there were 48 participants today, and I thought, "Wait, can 48 people fit on this?" But surprisingly, there was plenty of room, and it felt like we could still fit more.
The instructor was very energetic, and with some drinks involved, the atmosphere was really lively. It's amazing how the boat moves just with the wind. Seeing Oahu from the sea is not bad at all, especially with the nice breeze.
It seems like not many Japanese people know about this, but it's a hidden gem. If you're looking for a place without many Japanese people, this is definitely an option. Of course, I think you can still have a great time even if there are Japanese people around.
Also, I really want you to try the restroom! The restroom is truly amazing. You'll understand once you go in.
The price is really reasonable, and I highly recommend it!

I participated in a sunset sailing tour. It was my first time on a yacht tour in Hawaii, and it felt absolutely amazing. First, I arrived at the Outrigger Beach Hotel and checked in, which simply involved going to the far end of the hotel beach and handing my voucher to the lady sitting in front of the yacht. Since I arrived early, I relaxed on the beach while waiting. At first, there was no one else around, but as the departure time approached, people started to gather. I think there were about 40 people, but there were no other Japanese besides us. It seems that while dinner cruises are popular among Japanese people, casual sailing like this is still not widely known. Until I found this tour through Alan, I had no idea such a tour existed.
It seemed that we used the engine to get out to sea, but once we were offshore, there was a good breeze, and we enjoyed sailing purely with the natural wind without using the engine at all. The color of the sea was a deep marine blue, quite different from the beach (is it called grand blue?). It was a bit chilly, but the feeling of cutting through the wind and waves was incredibly pleasant. I felt a little tipsy from the cocktails, surrounded by a lively group of cheerful Americans, a couple who were just gazing at each other without looking at the beautiful scenery or sunset from the beginning to the end of the sailing, and a cool crew member. It was the best moment spent with the sunset sinking into the Hawaiian sea.
サンセットセーリングに参加しました。ハワイでヨット型のツアー初参加でしたが、最高に気持ち良かったです。まず、アウトリガービーチホテルに着きチェックイン、と言っても、ホテルの一番奥のビーチに行き、ヨットの前に座っているお姉さんにバウチャーを渡しただけ。早めに着いたのでビーチでのんびり待っていると、最初は他には誰もいなかったのですが、出発の時間が近づくと、ぞくぞくと人が集まりました。40人はいたと思いますが、私たち以外に日本人はいませんでした。どうやら、日本人の間では、ディナークルーズはメジャーなようですが、こういうカジュアルなセーリングはまだまだ知られていないようです。私も今回アランさんでこのツアーを見つけるまで、こんなツアーがあるとは知りませんでした。
ビーチから沖に出るまではエンジンを使っていたようですが、沖に出ると、ビーチとはうってかわって十分な風が吹いていて、全くエンジンを使わず自然の風によるセーリングが楽しめました。海の色はビーチとは違う深いマリンブルー(グランブルーというのでしょうか)。少し肌寒かったですが、風と波をきる感触は最高に気持ち良かったです。カクテルで少しほろ酔い気分になり、ノリノリの陽気なアメリカ人グループ、映画のワンシーンのようにセーリングの最初から最後まで景色も夕陽も全く見ず、ただ見つめあっているだけのカップル、かっこいいクルーのお兄さん、そして、ハワイの海に沈んでいく夕陽とともに過ごした最高のひと時でした。

If you don't like sharing a table, it's better to choose this option. There are seats by the sea, and they are divided according to the number of people. One person has their back to the sea, so it can be a bit uncomfortable to look at the ocean, but it was fine since we enjoyed delicious food together. The champagne is one bottle for two people, and there was quite a lot, more than we could finish. They also took photos for us, which made for a great memory.
相席がイヤならこのオプションを付けたほうが良いですよ。海側に席があって人数に応じて席が区分けされています。一人は海に背を向けているので海を眺める時はちょっとツライ姿勢になるけど2人で美味しい料理をいただけたから別に良いけど。シャンパンは2人で一本なんですが結構量が沢山で飲みきれないほどでした。写真もとってもらって良い記念になりました。

Although the neighboring seats aren't very far away, there are other people nearby, but it doesn't bother me at all. The price is also quite reasonable, and it includes a commemorative photo, so I recommend opting for this plan.
3スターのコースにカップルプランをつけました。
相席がすごいやだったわけではないですが、気分的に自分達のテーブルには自分達の料理がのっていて、
食事ができるのは、やっぱり落ち着きます。隣の席とすごく離れてるわけではないので、
すぐ近くにに他の人がいるけれど、別に気にはなりません。
料金自体も安くて、記念の写真もついてくるので、このプランをつけることをおすすめします。
