I wanted to see the Hilton fireworks, so I decided to join the dinner cruise the night before. I'm glad I could sign up on such short notice.
Every time I come to Hawaii, I've booked a dinner cruise, but honestly, I was surprised by the small boat and that dinner was a bento box. I was the only Japanese person who couldn't speak English well, and I was worried about what would happen if something went wrong. However, when I communicated my concerns to the staff, they reassured me that it would be fine and encouraged me to enjoy myself. They also made sure to take care of my drinks.
In the end, the bento box, which I was initially surprised by, turned out to be delicious on the boat, and I was able to eat it all. The fireworks were beautiful, and overall, I had a great time participating. (Having two drinks also lifted my spirits, haha!)
ヒルトンの花火が見たくて前日の夜でしたが、思い立って参加しました。急でも申し込めてよかったです。
毎回ハワイに来た時はディナークルーズを申し込んでいたのですが、正直小さい船(ボート?)でびっくりして、ディナーもお弁当なのがびっくりしました。
日本人でまともに英語が喋れないのが私一人だけで、何かあった時に困るのでスタッフに伝えると問題ないですよ、楽しみましょうって言ってくれて、飲み物等も気を遣ってもらえました。
結局びっくりしたお弁当も船の上だと増し増しで美味しくて、全部食べられました。
花火もきれいで、総じて楽しんで参加できました。(お酒2杯で気分が上がったのもありますw)

Scenic setting to see Waikiki in the sea! Perfect scenery for sunset on warm waters. Great staff who are friendly and accommodating :) I would recommend for a great time with others out on the sea.

My family had a wonderful experience with star cruise. Great food, very accommodating staff, great show and best of all is the sunset. And to top it all, great fireworks to end the night. Just make sure you book on a Friday to see the fireworks.

I took the Red Line Trolley from Waikiki and got off at the King Kamehameha statue, aiming for Aloha Tower while sightseeing. Many shops in the nearby mall seemed to be closed, possibly due to the impact of COVID-19, and I had trouble finding a restroom. At check-in, I presented the voucher on my phone, and after the usual photo session, we boarded the ship. For us, who didn't need a dinner that was too much to eat, one drink was sufficient. (You can order drinks on board. There was a Japanese staff member, so I think it's fine even if you can't speak English.) It seemed that many of the other passengers were tourists from the mainland United States. There was a restroom on the ship, but it wasn't very clean. We moved from Pier 6 near Aloha Tower out towards Waikiki, making a U-turn just before Diamond Head to return. During sunset, the lights of Waikiki and the sunset were very beautiful. Since it was windy, a light jacket is necessary. A little before disembarking, a staff member will ask if you'd like to buy the photos taken before boarding, either as data or printed. We purchased a cheap printed photo. (I think it was around $25 in cash.) After disembarking, we returned to Waikiki by The Bus.
ワイキキからレッドライントロリーで、カメハメハ大王前で下車し、観光しながらアロハタワーを目指しました。付近のモールは、コロナ禍の影響かクローズしているお店が多く、トイレも使えず、困りました。チェックインでは、携帯のバウチャー画面を提示して、お決まりの写真撮影から始まり、乗船しました。食べきれない程のディナーは不要な私たちには、ワンドリンクで十分でした。(船上でドリンクオーダーはできます。従業員の中に日本人の方がいたので、英語できなくても大丈夫だと思います。)他の乗客は、アメリカ本土からの観光客が多かったような印象です。船の中にトイレはありましたが、あまりキレイではありませんでした。アロハタワー近くのピア6からワイキキの沖の方に移動してダイアモンドヘッド沖の手前でUターンして戻りました。夕暮れ時で、ワイキキの明かりや夕焼けがとてもキレイでした。風が強いので、羽織る上着は必要です。下船少し前に、乗船前の写真をデータかプリントされた物を買わないか?従業員が聞きに回ります。私たちは、安いプリントされた写真を購入しました。(現金で、25$くらいだったと思います。)下船後は、The busでワイキキに戻りました。

I took my parents, brother, aunt and cousin. We all loved the special treatment with the package. The food was above expectations. The views were nice. Loved the fireworks on the Friday night cruise. The music and entertainment was amazing. The young lady who served us was a new trainee and did a wonderful job. The only thing that was a little off putting was the manager’s conversation was a little repetitive throughout the dinner.

It was a little too crowded for my liking and the show was lackluster. Overall a bit to touristy for my liking. My daughter did not feel good the entire trip. They do offer you ginger candy if you are nauseous.
The food was really good, as were the cocktails and the views were amazing.
I also loved the professional photographer and we did purchase a beautiful family picture.
So overall mixed reviews.

see yelp and trip advisor
Avoid this cruise $300 a couple for dinner dancing cruise but no dancing ( see pictures). First, boarding was late then a person came out slovenly dress and said they were going to board.
Second problem all of the plates were out before we boarded with single file space you had to look for your “name” which means everybody’s face has been all over YOUR plate gross. Can we say Cova 19 boys and girls? AFTER, we left port was the announcement that the toilet DO NOT work and that we could NOT put toilet paper in the toilet that we had to put it in the garbage can beside it, bottle water provided for hand washing no soap! Wait no soap?! no running water??!! When my husband had to used the restroom they pour water in hands, NO paper towel, and was given hand sanitizer. REALLY??!!There was no dancing possible because we were crammed upstairs because the RUGS downstairs were pulled up.
I guess we’re to dance in my seats?!
THEN BLAME GAME: after cruise requested refund was told to call VIATOR ( which I did upon my return THEY REFUSED!!! Piss on!! Now I am pissed off!! someone needs must return ANY money and refund they should did us a favor and cancelled this tour. Viator offers get FREE CANCELLATION VIA ANYBODY for EVERYTHING USED. IF BOOKED THROUGH them get guarantee or pay extra for free cancellation or good faith agreement.
if there is a agency that handles this boating industry in Hawaii? I want you to email me all of the information that I need to forward all of my pictures as well as picture of four other couples shut down time!! I got nothing but time.

The sunset cruise was larger than I expected. I chose the three-star option, and it was packed with volume. The lobster was particularly large, with a firm texture, and it was very delicious.
Since I added a commemorative option, there were arrangements for photos, cake, and champagne. However, the photos were taken right after boarding the ship, so the background was land. I wish we could have taken some pictures in a nicer location on the water.
The cake was not what I expected; it was a large whole cake, so it felt more like something to take home rather than to eat on the spot. I ended up having to eat it for breakfast over the next couple of days, so it might not have been necessary.
One reason I added the option was to sit by the window, but there were people who sat by the window without the option, so it might not have been necessary after all.
Everyone was dressed very casually, so I think you don't need to worry about a dress code. The cruise had delicious food, and the singing and dancing were really great. At the end, everyone stood up and danced together, which was a lot of fun.
The price is a bit on the high side, but I’m glad I booked it. For those considering it for a honeymoon, you might not need to add the option. I definitely recommend the tour!
サンセットクルーズですが、船は思っていたよりも大きかったです。
3スターにしましたが、ボリューム満点で、なんと言ってもロブスターがとても大きく、プリプリの身でとても美味しかったです。
記念のオプションをつけたので、写真、ケーキ、シャンパンの用意がありましたが、写真は船に乗ってすぐ撮影されたため、背景が陸地でしたので、できればもう少し海上の素敵なロケーションでも撮影してもらえたらなと思いました。
ケーキは、思っていた感じではなく、大きなホールケーキでしたので、その場で食べるというよりは、持って帰る用という感じでした。笑
向こうで食べ切るために、2日ほど朝頑張って食べるという感じになったので、いらなかったかもしれません。笑
オプションをつけたのは窓側がいいからということもありましたが、つけていなくても窓側に座れていた方もいたので、特につけなくてもよかったかもと思います。
服装は、本当にラフな感じで皆さん参加されているので、ドレスコードは気にしなくて大丈夫だと思います。
クルーズは、お料理も美味しく、歌やダンスもとてもよかったです。最後にはみんなで立って一緒にダンスをしたり、大盛り上がりで楽しかったです。
お値段は少し高級ですが、申し込んでよかったと思います。
ハネムーンでご検討されている方でも、オプションは別につけなくてもいいかもです。ツアー自体はおすすめです!

My partner and I absolutely loved their sunset cruise! Their entire crew was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun. The day we boarded was just myself, my partner and another family of four, which made it a very relaxing and peaceful day experience. The music, food, and history was something we will never forget. Even though the water was calm that day, don’t forget dramamine if you get easily sea sick like myself! I felt so bad for probably looking so uncomfortable, because it’s absolutely a once in a lifetime experience! We are so grateful for the chance to have been on board with them.
