Hawaii
The sunset, night view, and Friday fireworks were all very beautiful. The food was delicious, but I felt it was a bit lacking in quantity. The five-star seats were quite cold, so a jacket is a must. It was so cold that I often went outside to warm up. (laugh)
サンセット、夜景、金曜日の花火どれもとても綺麗でした。料理は美味しかったのですが少し量が足りなくて物足りない感じです。5スターの席はかなり寒いので上着は必須です。寒すぎて船外にちょくちょく暖をとりに行ってました。笑
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the five-star cruise. We are also glad that you were able to take in the beautiful night view of Waikiki and enjoy the Hilton fireworks on Friday. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイブスターでのクルーズをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。そして、船上からの素敵なワイキキの夜景や金曜日のヒルトンの花火も満喫して頂き嬉しく思っております。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。
This cruise was not very good. The food was cold and the meat was mostly fat and if I could guess, it was about a 2 ounce cut of fat. The show was 2 people, doing a song. Not what I would think a show of the culture would be.
During the time I stayed, the sunset was positioned more to the right, making it difficult to see from Waikiki due to buildings obstructing the view. However, on this cruise, I was able to see the sunset beautifully! It was a wonderful experience.
私が滞在した時期はサンセットが右寄りに見えるため、ワイキキからは建物などで遮られて見えづらい時期でした。でもこのクルーズだときれいにサンセットが見られました!とても良い経験でした。
We received amazing service my wife and I! We celebrated our 1 month anniversary being married and Armando took outstanding care of us and we had such an amazing time. At the very end of the night we were pleasantly surprised with the song we played for our first dance on our wedding day, we were invited to dance up front and the servers were so enthusiastic and fun the entire time. 11/10 would recommend to a friend and we will be returning next special occasion!!
Really great experience and was a highlight for us during our stay in Oahu.
The staff goes above and beyond to ensure you are taken care of.
The cocktails and appetizers served are delicious.
Ample space for everyone to sit and walk around.
The Star of Honolulu was awesome… what a great time me and my wife had… nice big ship lots of room… and what a show at the end… they do a great job getting us all in position out on the water for the sunset. I would highly recommend this option for a dinner sunset cruise… plenty of helpful staff and dinner service was superb…!!!!
We had a great experience with the crew as well as the customer service team prior to sailing. We were following GPS and ran into crazy traffic and thought we’d miss the boat, so we reached out to the customer service team via text, and were easily able to communicate update them as we got closer. We arrived within seconds of sailing and were greeted warmly by the staff…hopped on and were able to join the fun! From the beginning to the end, we felt taken care of, well fed and had plenty to drink and just the right amount of time on the water to take in the amazing views and relax. It was a trip well worth taking and we plan on taking a voyage the next time we’re back! MAHALO!!!
Great professional sailors and coast guard certified crew. Great “Holokai Hooch”, gotta be careful, that hooch will sneak up on you, especially if you mix it with champagne for that carbonated kick hehe!
Great romantic time with my husband, watched the sunset as sugar ray played lightly in the background. We are a young couple but we love 90s music!
The only drawback is that the trip was too short.
Would definitely do it again, maybe try to nudge them to stay sailing a little longer.
Sweet short voyage to watch the fireworks. Captain and staff were lovely - very welcoming and happy to answer all your questions about beautiful Oahu wonderful singing and commentary
The entire boat crew made this an experience to remover for ever. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend booking an evening tour with them, job well done!
This is a plan for an easy sunset cruising experience. The departure is from the back of the Prince Hotel. There’s a trolley stop nearby, making it convenient.
While Japanese is not spoken, it’s fine to ask questions as needed. You can wait comfortably at a nearby food stall area until departure. There are also restrooms available.
The safety agreement can be completed in advance or you can scan a QR code on-site. The page is in English, but it’s not too difficult, so it should take about 10 minutes to finish. You can complete it for your children as well.
The boat is a larger catamaran, and there is a restroom on board. Drinks can be purchased at the bar counter on the boat, but there is no food available.
After about 40 minutes out at sea, you will stop to wait for the sunset. During this time, everyone can jump into the water and have fun. Life jackets and floatation devices (the kind used in swimming classes) are available, but there are only a few and they are old.
■Preparation: If you want to enjoy yourself, be sure to bring floaties, snorkeling gear, etc. Also, as it can get cool (even chilly) on the boat when the sun sets, it’s essential to have a towel to dry off and a jacket. Regarding drinks, generally, outside drinks are not allowed, but it seems okay to sneak in a water bottle or something easy to consume (it’s not as strict as in Japan).
手軽なサンセットクルージングが出来るプランです。出航はプリンスホテルの裏側から。トロリーも近くに止まるので便利です。
日本語は通じませんが、適当に聞いておけばOKです。出航までは隣にある屋台村みたいなところで座って待っていれば大丈夫。トイレもあります。
安全の合意書は事前でもいいですし、その場でQRを読み込めんでも対応可能です。英語のページですが、そんなに難しくもないので10分くらいで完了。子供の分もセットで完了できます。
船は大きめの双胴船(ボート)です。中にトイレがあります。飲み物は船内のバーカウンターで購入可能。食べ物は基本ありません。
沖に出て40分くらい、夕日を待ちながら停留します。その間に皆、海の飛び込んで遊びます。一応、ライフジャケットと浮き具(水泳教室で使うような紐で括り付けるやつ)はありますが、数も少なく、古いです。
■準備:きちんと遊びたいなら、浮き輪、シュノーケリングセットなどをしっかりと持っていってください。また、日が落ちてくると船上は夏でも涼しい(寒いくらい)になることもおおいため、体を拭くタオルはもちろん、上着も必須です。飲み物については、基本は持ち込み不可ですが、カバンにペットボトルを忍ばせる、簡単に口にほうり込めるものを忍ばせるのは大丈夫そうです(日本ほどうるさくない)
The cruise was a great experience! The captain was very good and friendly and the first mate was incredible setting up the boat, pouring drinks, taking pics, and being super friendly. This is definitely worth the price and much more, highly recommend!
The staff was great, however unfortunately, due to other people drinking on the boat & a lot of motion sickness, there was a lot of throw up Incidents which caused the whole ride to be unpleasant and rather disgusting. Not to mention, we had to takeoff our shoes so I hope I didn’t step on anything…. When I originally booked, I noticed drinks and appetizers would be provided, but there is only one option to choose from(food).
If you book, make sure you take some dramamine, even if you don’t think you have motion sickness.
The good news is that we got to sunset on our way back to the pier.
It was nice overall. The staff are friendly and worked hard. Food taste was okay. Generous portion. The boat is small and with waves, my 5 years old got sea sick and was throwing up.
Aloha-thank you for joining us. We appreciate your kind words.
It's unfortunate that your five year old experienced motion sickness. Our vessel is a sixty-five foot long double decker catamaran. The good news is that most guests do not experience motion sickness. For guests who know they have a propensity to experience motion sickness we recommend an over the counter remedy such as Dramamine at least an hour before boarding. Best wishes to you and your family!
Review
The cruise was very nice. Sunset was perfect. Prime rib was OK. I was expecting more. The chicken was great! Fish, was ok too. I would do the cruise again. I would upgrade to see if the food was better. Buffet was ok for an.overall rating!
The atmosphere was amazing! Looked very high end and it felt like it. Staff was very friendly and had great service. Super romantic dinner cruise that I highly recommend to any couple looking for a unique Hawai’i experience. Food was really good, not the biggest portions, but still we left satisfied. I will say whatever the dessert was, wasn’t very good. The only negative. It was this fruit flavored cake but it tasted like dish soap. Other than that this is a must!! Beautiful scenery and nice cool breeze with excellent food and live entertainment! We did pay for the middle tier I believe so it was the four course meal with two drink tickets. I think anyone would love this.
We booked the Friday night Waikiki fireworks sail. It was fantastic. Our crew were friendly, helpful, and made it an enjoyable experience. My family had a wonderful time.
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
The plan included a bus pickup, so there were no particular inconveniences getting to the location. The whales were different from what I had imagined, but I think it was nice to have a wonderful boat trip. The boat felt rockier than I expected. Some people were sitting, but most were on the deck on the third floor watching. They announced when we were likely to see whales, so we could spot them quickly, but most of what we saw were just tails or backs, and we couldn't really see the full picture as I had imagined. However, the weather was nice, and it was a fun boat trip, so I was happy with it.
バスでお迎えに来てくれるプランだったので現地までは特に不自由ありませんでした。
クジラは想像していたのとは違いましたが、素敵な船旅ができたので、まあよかったかなと思います。船内は思ったより揺れていた気がします。座っているひともいましたが、ほとんどは3階とかのデッキで見ていました。クジラが出そうなところをアナウンスしてくれるのですぐ見れるのですが、ほとんどがしっぽだけとか背中だけで、なかなか想像していたような全体像をみることはできませんでした。
でも天気が良く楽しい船旅だったので良かったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
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。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Sunset catarmaran sail was a blast! An ocean dance party pre-wedding night 5 July!
Walk onboard barefoot from the beach at Duke's through the gentle waves so put your fancy footwear in your bag or store your flipflops on board with all the others.
This was great value for money with the choice of two free-flowing cocktails throughout the trip.
Crew (skipper and ship's mate) are highly-skilled and friendly.
Perfect view of the Friday night fireworks, dont miss it!
This is my second time participating.
I can't speak English, but it's fun!
My 80-year-old mother joined me, and the staff and others around us supported us when getting on the catamaran.
We boarded while avoiding the waves from the sandy beach, but we still ended up getting wet up to our stomachs. Even in mid-July, the night breeze was cooler than I expected, so the beach towel I borrowed from the hotel came in handy as a blanket.
The fireworks were very beautiful, but the view of the hotel cluster at night from the boat was also lovely.
What stayed in my heart was unexpectedly how beautiful the stars floating in the night sky were.
二回目の参加です。
英語は出来ないけど、楽しい!
80歳の母も一緒でしたが、カタマランに乗り込む際、スタッフ他周りの方もサポートしてくれました。
砂浜から波を避けながら乗りこみますが、やっぱりお腹の辺りまで濡れてしまいました。7月中旬でも夜風は思った以上に涼しかったので、ホテルで借りておいたビーチタオルがブランケット代わりにもなり役に立ちました。
花火もとっても綺麗ですが、船上から眺める夜のホテル群もとても素敵です。
そして、夜空に浮かぶ星々が思いがけず美しかったのが、心に残りました。
私たちは、あなたが私たちとの体験を楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです。またすぐにお越しいただけることを楽しみにしています!
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
A great late afternoon experience. Hats-off to the crew for their organisation, quality of experience and setup on the cat. The kids were entertained on the foredeck (pitching seas seemed to be their gig) with the fore cargo nets, the music was great (well, our era anyway). The drinks were appropriate for the event...champers, beer and "boat mix". All were totally acceptable.
We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset "open bar" cruise and would definitely do it again.
It was a cruise where we went out to sea while listening to music and then returned. It was quite hot under the strong sun while the sun was high, but it became chilly as it set, so a jacket was necessary. Along the way, the boat stopped, and quite a few people jumped into the sea. Since there were many foreigners on the cruise, the atmosphere was lively and fun!
We went quite far out, and we could see the scenery beyond Diamond Head. However, it gets pretty bumpy out there, so I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication.
I heard that you need to fill out a waiver online in advance, but I didn't receive the email, and when I tried to scan the QR code on-site, it didn't work well either. I had printed the waiver and brought it with me, so I was fine, but for those who don't receive the email, I recommend contacting them in advance or bringing a paper copy.
音楽を流しながら沖まで行って帰ってくるクルーズでした。陽が高いうちは日差しが強く暑かったですが、沈んでくると肌寒く上着が必要でした。途中、船を停めてくれるので、海に飛び込んでいる人も結構いました。外国人が多いクルーズなので、テンションは高く楽しかったです!
結構遠くの方まで行くので、ダイヤモンドベッドを超えた辺りの景色まで見ることができました。
ただ沖の方は結構揺れるので、酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安心かと思います。
事前に誓約書をwebで記載するそうなのですが、メールでくるはずが私は届かず、現地でQRコードを読み込んで試しましたがそれも上手くできませんでした。私は誓約書を印刷して持って行っていたので、それで事なきを得ましたが、メールが届かない方は事前に問い合わせるか、紙で持参すると良いと思います。
Captain Ian and all the staff were very kind. The captain's special high cocktail was really delicious! It was an amazing experience to enjoy the drinks while watching the sunset!
船長のIanさんとスタッフの皆さん全員親切でした。
それに船長特製のハイタイカクテルほんとに美味しかったです!
お酒楽しみながら夕日も見れて最高に感動しました!
レビューを残していただきありがとうございます!特別なカクテルと私たちとの体験を楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです。またお越しいただけることを心よりお待ちしております!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your special cocktail and experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
I grew up on Oahu and the staff brings true Aloha to this cruise. We came for a visit and celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday on board with local family and they were also impressed. 10/10 recommend!
I thought everything, from the meals to the crew's service, was perfect!
If you ride on Friday, you can also see fireworks, which is a great deal!
It is a bit pricey, but it's worth experiencing!
食事も船員さんの対応も全てにおいてパーフェクトかなと思いました!
金曜日に乗ると花火も見れてお得です!
値段はしますけど、乗ってみる価値はありますよ!
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the five-star dining and entertainment, as well as your overall experience. We are also honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii, especially with the fireworks at the Hilton on Friday. Our staff looks forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイブスターでのでのお食事とエンターテインメントそして、全体的にお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。金曜日のヒルトンの花火も見ることができてそして、ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができたことをスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。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。
The all-you-can-drink option was really great! I think it would be even more fun if you understood English, as it would help you connect with the people around you and the crew!
Since it's an all-you-can-drink deal, it's easy to drink too much, so that's something to be careful about! Snacks are also provided!
飲み放題でとても良かったです! 英語が分かった方がや周りの人や船員さんと打ち解けられてさらに楽しいかと思います!
ついつい飲み放題なので飲み過ぎますがそこは注意です!お菓子も配られます!
私たちは、あなたが私たちとの体験を楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです。またすぐにお越しいただけることを楽しみにしています!
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
The crew makes sure things run smooth, and the boat is a nice smooth sail as well!
Got to celebrate our anniversary on the Kona waters, very beautiful sunset and very good grub!
Happy Anniversary! Mahalo for joining us and your kind words!
If you want a fun trip out into the water this is the place to book very reasonable for what you get the fireworks was not that long of a show but it was still very nice with music and a finale the crew was also so nice and fun they made the experience great I really recommend if your considering!
A perfect evening sailing with a very friendly and professional crew… unforgettable views of Waikiki and sunset … my family really enjoyed the experience …
