All Reviews for Cruise Ship Shore Excursions

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! First you get to drive up 10k feet up Haleakala and view amazing landscapes, be above the clouds and then watch the sunset. Guide, Yoshi (not sure if spelling correctly) was amazing! Has been doing this tour for 20 years. Very laid back, knowledgeable, and offers up various spots for photos. He has very good equipment for star gazing. He sets everything up, provides winter jackets and even coffee and tea. We got to see Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Andromeda galaxy and much more. Would recommend to anyone! We spent about 1 hour of the tour star gazing and other tours were already gone while we were still up there. Absolutely amazing!

Sean was AMAZING! Participating in this tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Hawaii, and we're so grateful for Sean's hospitality and warm aloha. He was attentive to every detail and the best host EVER! Had a blast and highly recommend.

We celebrated my sisters 50th Anniversary on board. It was fantastic!

It was the last night of our Hawaii vacation and the cruise was beautiful! The food was very good and the sunset was just breathtaking! Our waiter, Denny, made sure we had everything we needed. He took care of all of his other tables with the same attentiveness. The performers were truly professional. And my daughter said "Yes" when her boyfriend asked her to marry him!

We decided on this luau -from many- because they were family friendly and the other reviews. They were right, we had a blast. The staff were so accommodating to my daughter (1.5yo). She loved the show and even tried to Hula. We were also celebrating my moms 77th birthday and she loved it too. The best buffet of hawaii's essential plates and desserts too. I would definitely would go back.

In August, my family of four participated. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no other participants, just us. We received a notification that the weather on the scheduled day was deteriorating, so we had to change our arrival to the following day. Thanks to that, we were able to see a beautiful sunset.

During the stargazing afterward, it was very enjoyable to listen to Yamapi's explanations while looking at the surface of the moon. It was a bit disappointing that the full moon was too bright, making it hard to see the stars clearly, but we were able to feel the power of the moon!

It became the best memory of our time in Maui!

8月に家族4人で参加しました。コロナ禍という事もあり、他の参加者はおらず私達だけでした。予定していた日の天候が崩れると連絡を頂き、急きょ到着翌日へ変更となりました。おかげ様で美しいサンセットを見ることができました。
その後の星空観測では、ヤマピーさんの説明を聞きながら月の表面を見たりとても楽しかったです。満月が近く、月が明るすぎてあまりハッキリと星が見えなかったのが少し残念でしたが、月のパワーをもらえました！
マウイ島での最高の思い出になりました!

My wife and I had an amazing time on this private tour of the road to Hana. Ana did an amazing job and was super cool and friendly!! Got to hit a lot of the spots we wanted to see, including the bamboo forest, swimming in waterfalls, tidal pools, lunch and banana bread from Aunty Sandy's. Sampled some fresh guava off the the side of the road Awesome views. Also, Ana, loved talking movies and tv shows with you! Great times!!

We had an amazing personalized tour of Maui driving through the Hana Road. Gus and AnnaLisa both provided a fantastic narrative of the beautiful island of Maui from the lush rain forest to the beach and circled entire island. Stopped at wonderful places for local banana bread to ice cream and BBQ lunch as well as local island coffee. Enjoyed hearing about Maui’s culture, history, plants and flowers. Not to mention the breathe tasting scenery with personalized photos. Very social distance friendly and felt completely safe throughout the tour. Highly recommended.

Loved it and felt safe.

We had a great time on this two hour cruise. Food portions weren’t huge but we’re delicious! Enjoyed the show and the music throughout. The package came with 2 drinks per person, and extra drinks were available for purchase. My only complaint would be the bus transportation - for some reason, our trip to the boat took forever…I think we were waiting on passengers that weren’t at the pick up spot, so this somewhat delayed our arrival. Otherwise-great time!

It was out first time at a Luau & we had a wonderful time. It was such a great experience, the food was amazing & everyone was so friendly. We weren’t sure about it being at a water park but once you’re seated, you would never know it was a theme park. Definitely recommend!

Our tour guy big Anthony was very funny. He also helped us to understand more about Hawaii culture. We really enjoyed the tour. The Waimea falls was our favorite. First time we saw some beautiful flowers that only can be seen in Hawaii. We will recommend the tour to our friends in future.

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.

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.

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!!!

Food was amazing … very good … but Server Daniel was outstanding… I recommend this activity…for sure good memories and beautiful pictures

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.

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

Beautiful view. Wonderful show. Delicious food. Great hospitality.

This tour was perfect. Our guide lived in Hawaii all her life and have such a warm and detailed tour. It was the perfect amount of time too. We got to explore everywhere possible in the amount of time we had.

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.

Very unique experience not to be missed while traveling to Maui. Completely different from anything else on the island and I highly recommend it. Having a driver was great just so we can spend more time looking around and he knew several of the places to stop that we otherwise would have had no idea about. Also places do not stop, they were covered in tourist and other things. Our driver and the service did a great job.

Lovely evening and views with informative narration and entertainment and great food.

Excellent food, great entertainment, impeccable service from bus pick up to dinner up to drop off. I booked this dinner cruise in lieue of luau which was already sold out. I’m so glad that we did the sunset cruise instead. We had a great time and just perfect for our last night in Hawaii. Will definitely be back again.

The Tropical Rainforest Trail and waterfall swim custom hiking tour was well worth the cost. The guide was knowledgeable about everything we encountered on the tour and the locations we visited. This was an experience we will never forget. Thank you.

My family really enjoyed Chief's Luau. The staff was very attentive and helpful and the show was awesome! We really enjoyed our experience and would go back again when we visit Honolulu in the future.

My husband and I got to experience this activity five years ago for the first time and we knew we had to bring our kids this time. Our kids liked the food and the family enjoyed the entertainment. It was great seeing Derek again (the musician/singer). He sang pearly shell again per our request :)
