All Reviews for Cruise Ship Shore Excursions

Can't go wrong with a nice evening on the gorgeous Waikiki shores!

Really delicious food and friendly staff! Thank you for the great evening.

i really liked this luau! right near the water and very productive evening

It was a nice experience. It was a bit crowded so didn't feel as intimate as I expected.

The Chief was so funny and endearing.

The dancers were fabulous as were the fire dancers.

Yoshi is an excellent, enthusiastic guide who takes great pictures! He provided a lot of neat information about Maui and Haleakala along with extensive knowledge about the stars. You are picked up from fairly accessible locations, and I'm glad to pay for someone experienced in driving the roads, which can get narrow and quite close to cliff edges. Three stops along the way before the peak to get accustomed to the gradual climb in altitude. The actual crater couldn't be seen due to clouds, but Haleakala was still quite beautiful to see. I chose the sunset tour because I didn't want to get up that early for sunrise, and I'm glad I did! I was well rested and the sunset was beautiful. Yoshi provided comfortable camp chairs, warm coats, gloves, and hot tea as we waited for the sunset. You need to bring your own dinner, so don't forget to pack it! It was great, super peaceful, quiet, and comfy! Once night fell, Yoshi brought out some high-tech telescopes and pointed out constellations. I got to see Mars! It was a very clear night and amazing to see all the stars filling the sky. Informative and quite the experience. Afterwards, he drove us back. I really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend!

Ride to the ship was ok. Getting onboard was good. Overall food on deck 2, roast beef menu was subpar. Not good enough to want seconds. Wife and I felt this excursion was way too long. Especially being on the water got boring and we love the water. Sorry but the entertainment was that exiting. We were just counting down the minutes to get off the ship. The staff was nice and accommodating but the overall feeling of wanting to stay on the ship died off after the first hour on board.

I participated with my wife and two daughters (ages 6 and 12). We were all very satisfied as we were able to see a stunning sunset along with many stars. They provided telescopes and binoculars, allowing us to observe closely, and thanks to Yamapi's guidance, we had a very enjoyable time with his rich knowledge and storytelling.

They do lend out warm clothing, but it can still be quite cold, so I recommend bringing layers to wear underneath. The cold seemed to affect the children particularly.

妻と娘2人（6, 12歳）とで参加してきました。
絶景サンセットとともに星もたくさん見られて全員大満足でした。
望遠鏡、双眼鏡もご用意していただき、じっくりと観察もできましたし、ヤマピーさんのガイドに関しては豊かな知識と話術でとても楽しく過ごすことができました。

防寒具は貸してくれますが、とはいえやはり寒いので下に着込めるものは持っていかれることをお勧めします。
特に子どもは寒さがこたえていたようです。

Outstanding food and drink along with spectacular views of Waikiki at sunset. Service was great and the show was very upbeat and both entertaining and educational. Would do this dinner cruise on future visits. Easy to book, our bus driver was on time and educated us about different places along the way to the ship.

Food was Great, music and entertainment was lots of fun!

We really enjoyed our dinner cruise. The food was delicious, service was great, live performance entertainment was amazing, and the view was spectacular!

Aloha World
We thoroughly enjoyed our Night Cruise into Happiness last night with the Star of Honolulu crew and amazing entertainment
We did this cruise 41 years ago and it was just amazing then and spectacular now! The steak and lobster with the attentive crew made for a flawless experience! The main singer carried your spirit to the best times. We also loved the smooth jazz music Finally the Hawaiian dancers made us feel like true Ohana ❤️
Mahalo for another superb evening

The fun really starts when you get on the nice air conditioned bus. Our host on the bus was hilarious all the way to our destination. The show is in a wetnwild but honestly I forgot about half way to the beginning of the show. The food was good and the dancers were better. The chief was also a funny man and although you do get this amazing entertainment, you also get a little bit of history of the people of the islands. Overall it was a great show. We even got a souvenir

My husband and I went on this trip, and it was perfect! Everything was prepared perfectly and we would recommend this to anyone.

We absolutely loved our stargazing adventure with Yoshi! He thought of everything, including taking us to a private spot, blankets, hot beverages, chairs, as well as a wealth of knowledge and some incredible telescopes and binoculars. We were fortunate enough to have a tour with just the four of us on the day of our trip and we enjoyed every minute of it. Not only was Yoshi, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable but he also drove incredibly safely and stopped plenty of times for bathrooms and was just an all-around pleasure. We would certainly recommend Yoshi to anyone looking to have an excellent stargazing experience on Maui.

Food was great but the show was even better! Great time!

We cannot speak glowingly enough about the stargazing tour experience with Yoshi. He was such a knowledgeable and considerate guide. He had everything we could possibly need to be comfortable on top of the mountain, and it is so much more enjoyable making that trip as a passenger than as a driver. We cannot recommend the experience enough!

This is definitely to be done again! Was an amazing experience

The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!

We had a great time, the food was delicious and the show was outstanding. We even got to share in celebrating a wedding.As usual such a great dinner cruise, thanks.

Everything as expected and even better! Top tour guide. Take you to best places, knows huis way around.

Our guide was the best. Everything was Amazing.
He brought chairs, hot water for tea or coffee, blankets, a telescope and binoculars to see the stars and the constellations. Very good photographer as well. We are so happy!! Thank you so much for this opportunity.

This was an amazing experience in every step. Our guide, Yoshi, was super nice and cared for each one of us making sure that we felt comfortable and safe on each part of the trip. He taught us a lot about the stars, NASA and the culture of the Island while showing us amazing landscapes and taking incredible pictures of us. He provided blankets and hot tea/coffee to stay warm. Words can’t fully describe this experience. We totally recommend it!

This was a great evening on our trip! The food was really great and the entertainment topped off the evening!

Yoshi was the most gracious, considerate and knowledgeable guide. He gave our family a lasting memory. With the little kind touches of treats and hot drinks and warm blankets, he made a magnificent experience even more enjoyable.
Haleakala is breathtaking! His knowledge of Astronomy and his desire to make our experience unforgettable from beginning to end was the highlight of our visit to Hawaii.
The quiet view of the most memorable sunset we have ever seen and the majestic night sky to wrap up the evening will be treasured forever.
His kind, gentle spirit and true love of Haleakala was more than a tour, it was an experience we shared with him.

Great food, and wonderful service by Danny! The Polynesian show was incredible. The ship was beautiful and easy to access all levels.
It was a very beautiful evening, watching the sunset as we cruised Waikiki. Great transportation!

Best Lua and fire show in HNL!! We’ve been to many Lua, this show by far is the best. Live action performances are colorful, full of history and beautiful ensembles. We can feel the energy on stage and story telling come to life through dances movements, colorful wardrobes, live music/singing and magical fire show.

The checkin process was easy and parking was smooth. The venue is smaller than them other Lua we’ve been, but we like the intimacy in a smaller show.

The boat itself is fun. You can see the whale's tail. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't understand the English commentary. There is no seasickness. You can also order drinks. I think it's a good value for the price.

船自体楽しい。鯨の尻尾がみれます。英語の解説がわからなくても楽しめると思います。船酔いはないです。ドリンクも注文できます。コスパいいと思います

The food was good, the DJ and our tour guide was excellent.

Really great event, organized and well directed from start to finish with yummy food as well.
