Such a nice time with the kids. They enjoyed the dancers the most and they really had skilled and amazing dancers. The Chief is entertaining and kind and just joyful. I enjoyed him hosting. The food is also very good and the kids tried everything. I think they did so well with the buses and the set up and the service. Its memorable. It’s a very large gathering and I’m amazed at how well they handled so many people.

I participated in a 5-Star Cruise. I was surprised by the VIP treatment starting with the welcome drink we received on board. We could choose up to three types of alcohol, and the cocktails were generously sized, which was satisfying. The food was all exquisite, especially the beef, which was tender and delicious, leaving me very satisfied.
The international participants varied greatly in age, with many couples and pairs. The space between tables was spacious, providing a sense of privacy. There was live music with piano, saxophone, and singing, and there were moments where participants could join in for a cheek dance, creating a lovely atmosphere.
I was able to go out onto the deck, which was exclusive to 5-Star Cruise participants, whenever I wanted, and I thoroughly enjoyed the views from the sea. The vast ocean, the coastline, and Diamond Head were all breathtaking sights. The sunset was also moving.
5スタークルーズに参加しました。船上で頂いたウェルカムドリンクからVIP待遇で驚きました。
選べるお酒は3つまでOK。1杯のカクテルの量も多くて満足でした。料理も全て絶品で、特に牛肉が柔らかくて美味しくて大満足でした。
参加されている海外の方々は年齢が千差万別で夫婦かカップルが多かったです。テーブルとテーブルの間がゆったりしているので、プライベート感がありました。ピアノとサックスと歌の生演奏があり、参加者が有志参加でチークダンスをする場面もありムードがありました。
5スタークルーズ参加者しか出られないデッキに好きな時に出て、海上からの景色も思う存分楽しみました。大海原や湾岸、ダイヤモンドヘッド全てが最高の景気でした。夕日も感動でした。

I signed up for the 5-star plan, and here are my impressions.
The interior on the top deck felt elegant. The deck is exclusive to 5-star guests, which adds a special touch since guests on other plans cannot access it.
The food and drinks were delicious. While we enjoyed the scenery on the deck, we made sure not to miss the dishes being served, which added to our cruise experience.
One thing that caught my attention was that even though the ship had arrived, they played jazz music. I'm not sure if it was because we arrived early or due to the order of disembarkation, but we enjoyed the live performance.
It really depends on the weather, but this time was very enjoyable.
5スターのプランを申込み、その感想となります。
船内は最上階で室内も優雅さを感じました。デッキも5
スター専用で、別のプランの方が専用デッキには入れなく特別感があります。
料理や飲み物も美味しくいただきました。私たちがデッキで景色を楽しんでいるときにも料理が出されるの、見過ごさないように注意しながらクルーズを楽しみました。
気になったのが、船が到着したにもかかわらずジャズを奏でてくれたのですが、早く到着したからなのか、降りる順番か分かりませんが、生演奏を楽しみました。
かなり天気次第ですが今回はとても楽しかったです。

We had Jonah as our tour guide, and it was a fantastic experience! We were picked up from the front of our hotel and shared a van with two other couples, which was nice. Jonah immediately began telling us all about local buildings and other factoids as we drove to our first location. All of the locations were a lot of fun, but the stand out was the sea turtles. We were able to stay there a bit longer than planned and enjoy the several wild sea turtles who were swimming by and beginning to climb onto the sand. Everyone had a blast taking pictures of this, and Jonah was clearly enjoying himself as well and made sure to point out other turtles he saw for us to get a full experience! 10/10 would recommend!

Initially I was a bit skeptical about booking the sunset cruise because it had mixed reviews. It was my husband’s birthday so I took a chance. The booking I must say could be a bit easier to navigate, however this review is about the amazing experience. The transportation to the dock was free and luxurious from our hotel. Arriving at the dock we were greeted by music and the nicest staff, where we were then guided to the top deck to a welcome ceremony with Hors d’oeuvres and photos with the captain. After which we were shown to our table and the luxurious dining experience commenced. There were seven courses of excellent food and amazing staff. Our server Tyler was very nice and accommodating. The live piano jazz was a nice touch. The view was absolutely amazing so many photo worthy moments out on the deck! The overall experience was well worth it. The only con I would say is that the ship is a bit weathered, needs painting and updating in the dining rooms. Despite the dated decor we had a fantastic time.

Our guide Jonah was bloody awesome. The bloke could be a part time real estate agent! Chilled as too. His ring tone - soundtrack to Magnum PI should be Hawaii's anthem.
The minibus was clean and looked fairly new - no mucking about. Jonah had his headset so all the peeps in the backseat could hear his valuations of properties, which doughnut vans and food trucks to eat at, movies and tv shows filmed in Hawaii and places of interests. He struck a pose better than Madonna when she first donned the headset.
Lunch was at a massive gathering of food trucks. Superb tucker! Huli Huli Chicken is a must, as well as the garlic prawns (shrimps, for you Yankies) at The Bald Guy - all recommended by Jonah - he's been there done them all - how does he keep that figure?
I won't spoil it too much - we got to see turtles swimming in less than a metre away from you (3 feet) as well.
Anyway, I highly recommend this tour - avoid the bloody big buses and have an intimate one with Jonah - he's an absolute bloody legend - nuf said!
Hello Bloody Ripa,
Thank you so much for the review. I had fun talking with you and your family out here. Da Bald Guy is one of the favorites but I don’t eat it to much to keep my figure. I got to stay away from those delicious malasadas. I hope you enjoyed your time in Hawaii and hope you got to find some good sushi out here. Hopefully next time you come to Hawaii, we will have some grass tennis courts for you. Thank you for the review and maybe one day I’ll visit Australia sometime.
Mahalo

The tour was nothing to write home about. The captain had corny jokes; from the boat, you couldn’t see anything but the hau trees that lined the river; once you get to the grotto, it’s a pretty view but you’re 50-100yards from the cave entrance. The family sang but with all the people there, you could barely hear.
The taxi ride from Poipu was $70 each way. Add that to the cost of 2 tickets($60), this tour was not worth $200. Had we been located closer to the harbor, we might have been able to justify the cost.

We enjoyed the luau, the food and the program. This is our second luau and by far, it was the more enjoyable one. The food was good and the entertainment was captivating. The program was surprisingly interactive which made it even more enjoyable. My 12 yr olds appreciated that there were foods they could identify (mac n cheese, chicken nuggets) after trying the poi, lomi and poke.

This tour is absolutely worth it! Yoshi is tour owner and tour guide with over 20 yrs experience! His tour is perfect for those who don’t want to drive up for their first time in the dark and windy road (like the other tour). Everything was provided as described- and the arctic jackets were a must have because it was freezing and windy! Loved the hot tea provided too! Yoshi is super knowledgeable about the stars and with his telescopes we were able to see the beautiful stars. Oh and the sunset was absolutely terrific too! Definitely worth taking this tour!

We hit the jackpot! Kimo was an excellent tour guide and was full of history and information. When we got to the different spots, he walked with us, telling us more. We saw other E Noa drivers sitting by their buses waiting for the people to come back. Kimo made the trip so much fun! Don’t be last on the bus or he’ll make you do a short hula while he plays his ukulele!
Not sure if you can request, but If you get Kimo, you’re going to get waaay more than your moneys worth!
Oh! And the local lunch spot was DELICIOUS! We wanted to get another and take it back to the hotel!
Our drivers truly are what make our tours so unforgettable! We are so glad to hear Kimo provided such a fun experience. Mahalo for the 5 stars! Next time you're in Hawaii we hope to see you again!

There were quite a few Luau options to choose from. After some searching, we decided to give Chief's Luau a try. It's good that they have pickup options and we don't have to drive. The pickup, drop-off, and check-in were smooth.
It was a cloudy evening with some sprinkles, but we were prepared.
Food was all-you-can-eat style, with them serving you at the station. Food varieties was limited compared with Polynesian Culture Center, but the quality was good. They even gave us 2 drink tickets for each person. That's enough for the night.
The dancing and the fire knife show were very entertaining, and the jokes too.
All in all, a pleasant evening spent on the island of Oahu.
