All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

The captain and crew were absolutely wonderful. Peak whale season and my husband an I were in Maui celebrating our 25th anniversary. Not only was the dinner delicious and the views spectacular but we also were able to watch the whales. Didn't have to pay a separate fee for the spectacular encounters of the whales. This was absolutely worth every bit of the money we paid and will do it again WHEN we return to Kaalapani.

My wife and I enjoyed this very much, Great way to help celebrate our 30th anniversary. A fun and knowledgable crew took very good care of us. Fantastic catamaran

Excellent Crew involvement, Breakfast was good. No Whale sighting due too choppy water and high winds.

Awesome..definitely would do again! Loved everything

I had a wonderful time cruising while enjoying free drinks, including champagne. We even spotted whales nearby, and the sunset was perfect.

とても気持ちよくフリードリンクでシャンパンも楽しみながらクルーズできました。
途中クジラも近くに見られてサンセットもバッチリでした

Loved it!!! Most Perfect wedding ever! The staff was amazing, dinner, everything was wonderful. Highly recommend this. Thank you so very much, loved it all. Cheryl

I was attracted to the point where I could enjoy both drinks and a sunset cruise, so I signed up. While on board, I could enjoy the scenery without getting wet and felt a pleasant breeze. There’s nothing to obstruct the view, so the sunlight is dazzling until the sun sets, making sunglasses a must. This was my fourth time in Hawaii, but seeing the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea offered a different perspective, which was wonderful. The duration was as planned, and I was able to stick to my schedule after the cruise without any issues.

お酒とサンセットクルーズ同時に楽しめるポイントに惹かれて申込みしました。
乗船中は濡れることもなく、気持ちの良い風を浴びながら景色を堪能できます。
遮るものがないので夕日が落ちる前までは日差しが眩しいので、サングラス必須です。
4度目のハワイでしたが海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは一味違う景色で、とても良かったです。
所要時間も予定通りで乗船後の予定も狂うことなく過ごすことが出来ました。

The food was good, the music was great, the entertainment was great, but I wish I would have purchased the better package. We were in an area with a bunch of younger tourists and we felt out of place.

This tour was very enjoyable. Even though we didn't get to see but one whale. The captain and crew made every effort to locate them. And we did encounter a whale but the whale didn't want to entertain us which is no fault of the crew. The boat ride itself was nice and relaxing. I would definitely do it again.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary last December 17, 2016 aboard the Star of Honolulu Sunset dinner cruise and it was a very memorable experienced we had. The ship was clean, foods were very good, staff are super friendly and attentive and the emcee and dancers are spectacular. Everyone participated either with singing or dancing. It's was just plain AWESOME, Thank You.

I flew from Los Angeles to celebrate a best friend's birthday in January 2017, and made up another friend's and my own birthday (in November). I treated my friends and myself with the Five Star - Luxury French Cuisine with Live Jazz. It's was a great evening with the hula dancer's Happy Birthday song to my friend, the waiters cordial and professional service, delicious meal, conversation/fellowship time, pianist and jazz music performance which was very interactive with the guests, and nice view of the Sunset, Wikikki hotel "forest" and Diamond Head. Everything was perfect! Absolutely loved it. And it's a great and memorial experience for my friends, too! Thank you all for serving us!

Enjoyed our evening on the catamaran. Food was awesome, bar, music and an amazing view of Honolulu!!!

Beautiful cruise overlooking the Waikiki beach front. The buffet was good with plenty of variety and tasty food. wonderful on board entertainment with passenger participation wife has a bad knee and the crew went out of their way to get a wheelchair and move around to and from the bus to ship to the bus.

The guys were really friendly and sincerely wanted everyone to have a good time. We got pretty drunk off that uh oh juice and the sunset was beautiful.

I participated to create a final memory of my trip. I was very satisfied to be able to enjoy a beautiful starry sky and fireworks while drinking a Mai Tai. It's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you will get wet up to your shins when boarding. I participated in January, and the weather was great, with just the right temperature to enjoy. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

旅行の最後の思い出にと参加しました。
マイタイを飲みながらきれいな星空と花火を見ることができとても満足できました。
乗り込みの際にひざ下ぐらいまで濡れるので濡れてもいい格好で参加したほうがいいです。
１月の参加でしたが、とてもいい天気で気温もちょうどよくて楽しめました。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

We had such a great time on this cruise! The bottomless drinks were awesome, the appetizers were delicious, the crew was incredibly friendly and knowledgable, and the scenery, whales, and sunset were breathtaking. I would take this tour again for sure!

I participated with my daughter, and there were only two Japanese people. It felt great to feel the wind more than on a big ship. There was also a couple dancing energetically, making it a really fun time.

娘と参加で、日本人は二人ボッチでした。(^-^;
大きな船より風を感じられて気持ち良かったです。
ノリノリで踊っているご夫婦もいて凄く楽しい時間でした。

It was my first time going to Oahu n I was really excited to go on STAR OF HONOLULU n I absolutely loved it so much That I am already planning to come back again this year...

I read in the reviews that there are few Japanese people and the explanations are in English, but it was a completely problem-free relaxing time. I go to Hawaii about twice a year, so I signed up for various optional tours, but this tour is one I can't miss next time. Since it was late January, it was indeed cold due to the strong winds. A light jacket is necessary.

口コミでは日本人は少ないし説明も英語なので・・とありましたが、全く問題なしのリラックスタイムでした。ハワイは年に2回ほど行きますので色々なオプショナルツアーに申し込みましたがこちらのツアーは次回も外せないです。１月下旬だったので、風が強いこともあり確かに寒かったです。羽織るものは必要ですね。

I was so excited to see whales and I wasn't disappointed! Guaranteed indeed.
We saw a few pod of whales and it was always entertaining to watch them swim by and see their blows. I actually saw one that threw its tail out of the water up close when I was heading to the restroom, but very quickly that no one noticed it I think. I just got lucky, haha!
It was a nice cruise, great customer service from the crew, delicious food, and gorgeous views of the Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head! There were fun activities on board too like lei making, ukulele lessons, and hula lessons. I really enjoyed the trip! I was with a group of friends but as a mom, I would definitely recommend this for families with young children as well, it's a great activity for all ages so anyone are welcome!

I was considering a dinner cruise, but after referring to other people's experiences, I chose the cocktail cruise. I was a bit anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but it turned out to be a great decision. The sunset from the coast is beautiful, but watching the sunset from the cruiser while feeling the thrill of the ride was exceptionally stunning. Thanks to the cheerful and high-energy crew and the other foreign guests, the atmosphere was great, and I had a wonderful time.

ディナークルーズにしようかと思ってましたが、他の方の体験談を参照し、カクテルクルーズを選択しました。
楽しめるか少し不安でしたが、結果は大正解でした。海岸からのサンセットも綺麗ですが、クルーザーの疾走感とともに海の上から観るサンセットはまた格別に綺麗でした。陽気でハイテンションなクルーや他の外国人客のおかげて、雰囲気も良く楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I booked a plan without pick-up. The check-in location listed on the voucher is the Paradise cruise office, but in reality, there is no such office, so you need to check in at the Stat of Honolulu reservation office.
The breakfast isn't particularly delicious, but I was able to enjoy warm dishes and coffee.
About two hours after departure, we spotted a whale just 20 meters from the boat! We were lucky to see it.
Since the boat is quite large, positioning is also important.

送迎無しのプランを予約。バウチャー記載のチェックイン場所はParadise cruise officeとありますが、実際にはそんなオフィスは無く、Stat of Honolulu reservation office にてチェックインを行うので注意が必要です。
朝食は大して美味しくありませんが、暖かい料理とコーヒーを楽しめました。
出発から2時間ほどすると、船から20メートル先にクジラが！！運良く見ることができました。
船はかなり大きい為、ポジショニングも大事になると思います。

The scrambled eggs were a bit hard, I felt (^_^;)
But it was great to see the whales, and my family was happy!
The whales were amazing, and the scenery was incredibly beautiful; I was moved!

スクランブルエッグが少し硬かったかなーと言う感じでした(^_^;)
でも、クジラも観れて家族もよろこんでいたので良かったです！
クジラもですか、景色が凄くキレイで感動しました！

Great sunset sail. Music was awesome and views were even more amazing. Captain and bartender were also equally amazing which made out sail even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and do this again on my next trip. Worth every penny.

The itinerary includes departing, cruising towards Diamond Head for a while, turning back, waiting in front of the Hilton, and then the fireworks start. The fireworks last about 10 minutes. The sequence is as follows: beach docking. They say that "Mai Tai" is easy to make, and they keep saying "Mai Tai, Mai Tai!" The only soft drink available is canned pineapple. By the way, we were the only Japanese people there. None of the crew spoke Japanese. It might be fun for those who understand English.

内容としては出航→ダイヤモンドヘッド方面へしばらくクルーズ→折り返し→ヒルトン前で待機→花火開始　花火は１０分程度で終わり→船着きビーチの順です。飲み物は「マイタイ」が簡単に作れるらしく「マイタイ、マイタイ！」と言ってきます。ソフトドリンクは缶のパイナップルのみ。ちなみに日本人は私達だけでした。クルーも日本語は全員ダメ。英語が分かる人は楽しいかもね。

We had the best time. The crew was great and we met some good friends. We will definitely be doing this again.

I took my mother who uses a wheelchair. The ship had elevators, and we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast while experiencing a graceful cruise. Of course, we were able to see whales multiple times, and I am very satisfied.

車椅子利用の母を連れていきました。船内にはエレベーターもあり、ゆったりと朝食をいただきながら優雅なクルーズを楽しめました。
もちろんクジラも複数回見ることができ、満足しています。

We got to see several whales and got some great pictures of breaches and blows. I was skeptical but was very happily surprised and would do it again next time I'm in Hawaii!

Fun filled 3 hour cruise. Great food, music, and tour. The crew were all exceptional. Within 3 minutes of leaving the dock the crew had already located 2 whales we could watch. Right before dinner, they located a manta ray as well. The crew also found another whale on the ride home. Great time and very family friendly.

This was the first tour we took on our first trip to Hawaii in April of 2016. It was absolutely amazing. We had a good time on the Star of Honolulu except it was rather windy that day. Had a blast, regardless! There were several whale sightings but, not close enough to see them which was disappointing. The breakfast was fantastic. We spent time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos. We would definitely book another cruise when we return again.
