Hawaii
Had a fabulous time with my group of friends! We're all in our 30s and thought this was one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip. The Mai tais were delicious but they also offer beer and white claw as well and it's AYCD. Staff was super friendly, felt very safe on the catamaran, and the views of the water and the sunset were absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend!!!
The guys were pretty fun in orchestrating the ride. But they have overpacked the boat considering it's pandemic and there are no mask mandates. I wish they had consider to limit the crowd size to keep spaces within groups. But they didn't It was overpacked with mostly adult tees on the group. Not a classy type of boat cruise tour.
My group and I throughly enjoyed this sunset cruise! It was our final night in Waikiki and we couldn’t have asked for a better ending. The views of Diamond Head at sunset are breathtaking and the crew ensure everyone on the cruise had an amazing time! I would highly encourage everyone to do this cruise and bring clothes you don’t mind getting wet!
Had everything we could have wanted and more so much food and booze. Gorgeous location, lots of beautiful birds and flowers everywhere. Friendly staff, show was super fun and so unique
I took some family on the cruise recently and everyone had an amazing time! The crew is super nice and funny which helps makes the experience even better. The boat has enough space for everyone to sit and/or lean on something. It was very fun going out to the open ocean and seeing the island from far away. The last cruise of the day is very beautiful at sunset, but I could also see how a mid day cruise would be fun. The Mai Tai's were tasty and if you want an alternative they have Corona or soda and juice. I believe this event could be fun with family, friends, or even solo. We'll definitely be coming back!
It was my in law’s anniversary and we took them and our kids to this Sunset cruise. A few of our party were easier to get motion sickness but since this cruise is massive enough so we all felt great throughout the cruise. The sunset sceneries with the Waikiki beach as the back drop was very romantic while we also get up close to Diamond Head for great pictures opportunities. The food was great and even the kids like it. The entertainment after dinner has a great celebration atmosphere with us standing and dancing a little bit at the end. We took home the photo package and it was worth it to capture the memorable night. The only item that I would suggest to improve is the wine selection on the red wine section. There are two complementary drinks per person with good value. We would surely go back for this again next time when we visit Oahu.
Did the train ride and the luau tour. This was an amazing show. I definitely recommend it.
The food was delicious and I loved all the performances and how friendly everyone was kept me interested the whole time the drinks were really good too can’t wait to come back!!
The crew was exceptionally friendly. The entertainment energetic.
What a great intimate Polynesian experience! The luau was the highlight of our trip. Our host, Bill, was awesome, as well as Chris, who shared how they cook and serve their traditional meals. Beautiful and exciting dancing. The food was delicious. We really felt the Ohana spirit! Highly recommend!
Aloha Joni and mahalo for giving us a great review. We are happy to know that our luau was the highlight of your trip. Bill, Chris, and everyone at Toa Luau would love to see you guys again soon and enjoy the food and performances the second time around. God Bless!
The seas were a little rough which they obviously couldn’t help but the service was awesome!! It was a lot of fun!!! Had a blast!
My husband and I took our 15yr old son. We enjoyed the food, good portions and several options were available. The show was fascinating, and the performers were enjoying themselves which made the show even better. Would highly recommend.
Food was fabulous and so was the entertainment! Everything was professionally handled and guests were truly welcomed by the courteous staff. Couldn't be more pleased with this awesome dinner cruise!!!
Overall, awesome experience! After reading reviews, I was super nervous about the validity of this site, especially considering that this site was able to get me tickets to a Luau that was sold out on all other sites. I called the venue to be reassured that this was a real site, and they confirmed it's validity! We showed up to the luau, had an amazing experience, and had 0 complications! Def. recommended!
Food was amazing … very good … but Server Daniel was outstanding… I recommend this activity…for sure good memories and beautiful pictures
This is a tiny boat not a cruise by any chance. Very inexperienced young crew
The Star of Honolulu was just simply AMAZING!!! Our server Sabrina was extremely nice and attentive to all of our needs. The assistant manager Robert was very nice and helpful when we didn’t receive our bottle of wine that we ordered. He took care of it immediately and brought it to our table. It was closer to the end of the cruise so we ended up sharing the bottle with our neighbors at the next table. We ended up booking this dinner cruise over a luau since we heard such good things about the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise and I’m so glad we did. The dinner show was absolutely amazing and entertaining. I will definitely book this cruise again next year when we come go back to Hawaii. Thank you to all your staff and crew for making it an unforgettable evening
This cruise was very nice and will do it again.
The price was reasonable and the people were very friendly.
Fun cruise with friendly staff and great Mai tais! Would definitely recommend
We really enjoyed the cruise
The entertainment was fun the sunset was amazing
The service could have a little more attentive
Other than that it was enjoyable and very entertaining
The staff was insanely nice and respectful. Once we got on the ship, they started pouring drinks right away. Mai Tai’s and Coronas were the drinks that were offered. They played some fun, up tempo music the entire ride and We were out at sea for a good amount of time. Can’t wait to do this again
The crew really knew what they were doing. We sailed out toward diamond head and some dolphins swam along, then we sailed back into the sunset. They kept our drinks full and the mai tais were really good. Just be careful because the alcohol doesn't hit as hard when you're on the ocean, but will when you get off.
Our party of 12 had so much fun out on our sunset sail! The crew was fantastic, the drinks plentiful, and the seas smooth. This was a highlight of our trip. Mahalo nut loa!
The view was amazing and they let the sails out. Last one my husband went on they were all motor. Appreciated the view of the setting sun and the crew was fun.
It was a great time to bring my wife to this show. She had never been to a luau before and this was a great experience. The food was standard pre-prepared fare but the entertainment was excellent.
Aloha Tito,
Thank you so much for your comments, and for bringing your wife to experience our luau. Our food is a variety of island favorites, with some Hawaiian style prepared dishes, however, we're sorry you felt it was standard. When you're preparing food for such large numbers, it may not be up to your standards. It sounds like you enjoyed the evening overall, and for that I'm happy. Our entertainers work hard at their talent, so I'm so happy that you felt it was excellent! We hope you will share your photos and comments with your friends and family, and maybe even post some on our Facebook page at Germaine's Luau & Special Events! #experienceohana, #germainesluau....Mahalo, Germaine's Luau Ohana
Beautiful view. Wonderful show. Delicious food. Great hospitality.
This experience was amazing!! The staff was friendly and mai tais were on point
Booking through Hawaii activities was the best decision. Not only did I get a discount from their summer coupon but I booked early enough that they were able to secure us a table right upfront, not sure if that’s the reason. Open bar was worth it. The drinks were surprisingly great. The shows were entertaining. The food was ok. I would definitely go back though for sure.
My husband and I chose to book this as our date night while we were on vacation with our family while my MIL stayed at the hotel with the kids. We also purchased the shuttle with our tickets and we're staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village...we almost, along with another couple missed the bus because the front desk at the hotel told us the "bus stop" was outside the hotel..and we were at the literal "bus stop" for The Bus, but we luckily called in enough time to realize it was in the tour group stand below the hotel (crisis averted). The bus was quick and getting onto the boat was quick and painless. They sat us right always and appitizer were at the tables waiting. Our server was prompt in taking drink orders and bringing food. Food was good! We were NOT expecting a full lobster lol and had to figure out what we were doing with it. We weren't quite sure about the show at first as the announcer was a little old/shaky but as it progressed the show was great. I especially appreciated that they had dancers at different parts of the dining room Floor so no matter where you sat you could see it. This was a racier show with a little more suggestive hip rolling than the Luau we attended earlier in our trip but we thought it was great! There was an amazing rainbow over Diamond head and the sunset was beautiful.
We got the premium tickets and actually got sat front and center which was great for our kids (4, 6 & 8). That also meant though that one side of the table was blinded by the sun for the first part of the show until the sun dipped below the trees (small price to pay for front and center). We didn't realize that with the premium tickets even the kids got extra drink tickets that could be used for juice or alcohol. My kids were never going to drink that many juices so we used them to get a few extra Mai Tai for us...but word of advice if you wait for the server to get the drinks you will never be able to get through your tickets because they are split between so many tables so grab them from the bar yourself. The show was great my kids especially liked the fire dancers. The food was just ok but we expected that as it's hard to serve that many individual plates at once. The only thing my kids would eat was the shredded pork and fruit so if you have kids who are picky eaters make sure they eat a little something before hand.
