All Reviews for Cruise Ship Shore Excursions

We did the Royal Package with front row seating, and it was worth every penny. From the moment we arrived through the end of the show, the energy was amazing

I couldn't speak English at all, but I imagined that the people I toured with felt the same way as I did, and it was enjoyable.

I was really happy to stop by the gift shop at the end! Thank you very much! 🙏

英語は全く話せませんでしたが
一緒にツアーを回った方達も
きっと気持ちは私と同じなんだろうなと
想像出来、楽しかったです。

ｸﾞｯｽﾞｼｮｯﾌﾟも最後に寄って頂き
本当に嬉しかったです!!
ありがとうございました🙏

Dinner tasted great. Portions were on the small side. Firework show was good, but everyone crowded to one side and it was harder to find a space to look. Lots of people, but still romantic.

Kool show super packed parking was crazy I recommend parking off site because 200 people plus a fishing tournament and whatever else is happening in the area leaving at the same time it took 45 min just to get out of the parking lot.

Food was great
Staff was courteous helpful very professional
The entertainment was awesome
The view was breathtaking
Thank you

The atmosphere was full of aloha spirit, with performers who you can tell take so much pride in sharing the history.

Highly recommend for families looking for an authentic luau experience on Oahu!

Chief’s Luau was an unforgettable evening. The fire knife dancing finale was unbelievable!!

We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

I highly recommend this luau. I was very satisfied with the delicious food and entertainment.

The process starts with checking in at the hotel, after which you are guided to outdoor party tables. Before the show begins, there is a drink bar and interactive activities. You can enjoy free games, a dance experience, and watch the digging up of kalua pig, which is cooked in an underground oven called an imu. Everyone was taking lots of videos and photos! Please note that this activity ends fairly early.

The buffet meal is followed by the grand entrance of King Kamehameha from the sea, and the show starts on stage! There are plenty of dances and songs inspired by Tahiti and Samoa, the ancestors of Hawaiians. The final fire dance was breathtaking. The emcee speaks entirely in English, but I think you can enjoy it fully even if you don't catch everything.

To be honest, I hesitated about whether to participate due to the price, but I ended up being very satisfied.

◆ One point to note is to arrive early for check-in. Check-in starts at 5:15 PM, but when we arrived at 4:45 PM, there were already about ten groups in line. Seating is assigned in the order of check-in, and you proceed to the activities from there, so if you check in late, it might be difficult to participate in the activities.

こちらのルアウはとてもお勧めです。
美味しい食事とエンターテイメントを楽しめてとても満足しました。

流れとしてはホテル館内で受付後、野外のパーティテーブルに案内されます。
ショーが始まる前にドリンクバーと参加型のアクティビティがありました。無料のゲーム、ダンス体験やイムという地中の釜で料理したカルアピッグ（豚の丸焼き）を掘り出す様子を見られます。皆さんビデオや写真をたくさん撮っていました！
このアクティビティははやい時間で終わってしまいますので注意が必要です。

ブッフェのお食事、海からのカメハメハ王の登場に続いてステージでショーがスタート！
ハワイアンの祖先であるタヒチやサモア風のダンスや歌が盛りだくさん。最後のファイアーダンスは圧巻でした。
司会はすべて英語ですが、すべてを聞き取れなくても充分に楽しめる内容だと思います。
正直なところ、お値段的に参加するかどうか迷いましたが結果は大満足です。

◆注意点は早めに受付に行くことかと思います。
受付スタートは17:15-ですが、私たちが16:45に行った時にはすでに10組ほどが並んでいました。席は受付順で案内され、その流れでアクティビティに進むので、受付が遅くなるとアクティビティ参加がむずかしくなるかもしれません。

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!

Yoshi was a great guide! I would highly recommend him!

Yoshi was wonderful! We can’t say enough about his hospitality, thoughtfulness, and knowledge. Not only did he take great care in making it a wonderful experience, he made sure we had outstanding pictures of our family in the best spots to remember it. We felt very safe driving in Haleakala knowing he had 20 years of experience behind him and this trip has easily taken the number one spot of our family adventures. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the stars and constellations as well as the geography of the area. A day and evening well spent!

We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.

I participated because it was led by a Japanese guide. The guide was knowledgeable and fun to talk to, and I'm really glad I joined! I was a bit worried about altitude sickness since we were going to a high elevation, but it was not a problem at all since we took breaks along the way. Thank you for the amazing experience!!

日本人ガイドさんという事で参加しました
知識も豊富でお話も楽しいし本当に参加して良かったです！
標高の高い所に行くので高山病が少し心配でしたが、途中休憩しながらなので全く問題なかったです
感動の体験をありがとうございました！！

This show blew me away from the staff to the dancers it was absolutely a top notch show and would go again. I recommend this show to anyone it was absolutely amazing!

Had to use a premium drink ticket for a diet coke. Gimme a break.
Lobster presentation was unacceptable. Lobster should have been served out of the shell, very messy.
Entertainment was good

At Five Star Dinner, there used to be a hula dance show, but now it's gone, and it's just jazz and piano, which was different from what I expected, so I was disappointed. The price is high, so I couldn't help but think, "Is this worth this price?" Also, the shuttle bus was playing old videos, and it hasn't been updated.

ファイブスターディナーでは、基本的にフラダンスのショーマ行っていたのに、今は無くなっていてジャズ？とピアノだけで、思ったのとは違ったので残念でした。お値段も高いので、これでこの価格かぉと思ってしまいました。また、シャトルバスも、昔のもののビデオを流していて、リニューアルができておりませんでした。ex)Twitter表記など。

Despite the unfortunate weather making both the sunset and stargazing seem hopeless, our guide, Yamapi, did not give up and skillfully led us to points of interest, allowing us to witness a wonderful sight. I was truly impressed by his determination!

あいにくの天候でサンセットも星空も絶望的で他社ツアーが下山する中、ガイドのやまぴーさんだけが諦めておらずポイントを紡いでご案内頂き素晴らしい光景を目にすることができました。諦めない姿勢に感嘆です！

I used the Celebrity Course at a discount campaign, which was a bit cheaper. I arrived early to get a good seat, and the Japanese staff secured a front-row spot for us, providing detailed explanations about the food, drinks, and experiences. The food was served on a single plate rather than a buffet. Although I was told I could have seconds, there was so much that I couldn't finish it all. The children, who hadn't enjoyed the Hawaiian cuisine much until then, said it was close to Japanese flavors and easy to eat. The seasoning was mild and quite tasty.

The highlight was definitely the show, which was incredibly powerful from the front row. The dancers, both male and female, were all beautiful and captivating, and their performances were impressive. I couldn't take my eyes off the movements of their muscles and the delicate gestures of their hands. This level of intensity could only be experienced from the front row.

Unfortunately, my understanding of English was a bit lacking. The performers were very skilled at engaging the audience, and the venue was lively, but I only understood parts of it. One thing to note is that I was informed that a photo taken with the performers at the beginning would cost $30 each (was it $60 for two photos with different poses?). The photos turned out well, so I ended up buying one with the Aloha pose. After purchasing, I was able to download the data. While it's a nice memento, it is a bit pricey. However, my overall satisfaction was excellent. I'm glad I came.

割引キャンペーンで少し安くセレブリティコースを利用しました
良い席に座りたくて早く行きましたが、日本人スタッフの方が最前列を確保して下さっていて、料理やドリンク、体験などの細かな説明も全てしてくださいました
料理はビュッフェではなく、ワンプレートでサーブされたのものが運ばれてきました
おかわりもできるとの事でしたが、全部食べきれないくらいたくさんありました
それまでのハワイの料理があまり口に合わなかった子どもたちが、日本の味に近くて食べやすいと言っていました
味付けがマイルドで普通に美味しかったです
一番良かったのはやはり最前列で見ることができたショーですごく迫力がありました
ダンサーたちは男女共にみなさん美しく魅力的で、パフォーマンスも見応えがありました
筋肉の動きや手先の細やかな動きまで、目が離せませんでした
この迫力は最前列でなければ見ることはできないでしょう
残念だったのは、自分の英語の理解力です
パフォーマーの口上も盛り上げ方もとても上手で、会場はとても盛り上がっていましたが、私は所々しか分かりませんでした
注意したいのは、最初にパフォーマーと一緒に撮影した写真が1枚30ドルで案内されたことですが、(ポーズが違う写真2枚で60？だったかな)良く取れていたので、アロハポーズの写真を1枚買ってしまいました
購入すれば、データもダウンロードできました
思い出としては良いものですが、少し高いですね
しかし、全体的な満足感はバッチリでした
来て良かったです

This really wraps up the south shores perfectly while cruising, ending with Fern Grotto was perfect.

Chilly at the top, so make sure to dress warmly! Besides that the views are to die for!

Venue threw us off a bit at first, but seating was great and the show blew out of the water.

It was a great leaning experience of the beautiful Polynesian culture with a personal connection to the crew.

Lots of people on the boat, very busy but the team works very hard!

The tour was well-organized, with enough time at each site to explore and reflect.

We were picked up at 3 PM for Haleakalā. Despite the temperature being 29°C, we gathered with warm clothing. The car set off towards Haleakalā, taking breaks for altitude acclimatization. At 1000 meters, we stopped at a supermarket to prepare dinner. At 2000 meters, we took a bathroom break and captured photos of avocado trees.

We reached the 3000-meter mark, but some participants felt the air was thin. At 6 PM, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, treated us to various poke ingredients and rice, which we enjoyed as poke bowls in the car. Once it got dark, we had a stargazing session. Despite bringing a down coat, it was still cold, and I was surprised that my hands became numb.

We returned to the hotel around 10:30 PM, and I am grateful to Mr. Yamauchi for being talented, attentive, and smooth in conversation, keeping tourists, including children, engaged for over half a day.

ハレアカラへは15時のお迎えだった。
気温29℃なのに防寒着を持っての集合だった。
さっそくハレアカラを目差して車は出発した。高地順応のために休憩を取りながらのハレアカラ行である。
1000mではスーパーマーケットに立ち寄り夕食の用意をした。
2000mではトイレタイムでアボカドのなっている木を写真に収めた
いいよ3000mの地点に到達したが空気を薄いと感じていた参加者もいた。
18時になって添乗員ヤマウチさんが薦めてくれた種々のポキの具材とご飯をポキ丼にして車内でいただいた。
暗くなったところで天体観察である。寒さの中、星や星座の説明を聞きながら天体観察させてもらった。ダウンコートを持って行ったのにも関わらず寒かった。手が悴んで感覚がなくなってきたのには驚いた。
ホテルへ帰ってきたのは22時半ころであったが、それにしても添乗員ヤマウチさんは多才で気が利いて、話が滑らかで子供を含めた観光客を半日以上もずっと飽きさせないで案内してくれたことには感謝している。

Easy way to schedule a Pearl Harbor tour with Arizona inclusion.

Had a great time. very friendly staff, well organized production.
It may be their job but everyone seemed to enjoy making sure you have a great time.
go. get the pictures. the memories are priceless.

bonus : go on Friday and you get the fireworks show on the water with Waikiki as the backdrop. what could be better???

I chose the five-star experience as a reward for myself. The wonderful staff and their smiles made it special. Although I attended alone, the staff were considerate, and the other participants reached out to me, allowing me to have a very enjoyable time.

The drink tickets, which allowed me to choose from a variety of beverages starting with a toast of sparkling wine, were very smart and convenient. I initially ordered the Lava Flow, which I always enjoy in Hawaii. Next, I had red wine to pair with the prime steak.

The dishes were creatively prepared, starting with the appetizers, which were fantastic, and the meat was very delicious. The sunset, fireworks, and wonderful music all contributed to a truly memorable experience. I definitely want to come back with my family next time. Thank you very much.

自分へのご褒美に５スターを選びました。素晴らしいスタッフと笑顔。１人で参加でしたが、スタッフの方々がご配慮いただいたり、同じご参加されている方々がお声がけをしてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
飲み物もスパークリングワインでの乾杯からたくさんの飲み物から選べる飲み物のチケット２枚はとてもスマートでわかりやすく便利でした。私はハワイで毎回いただくラヴァフローを最初オーダーしました。次は、プライムステーキに合わせて赤ワインをいただきました。
お料理も工夫されていて、アペタイザーから素晴らしく、お肉もとても美味しかったです。サンセット。花火。素晴らしい音楽。どれをとっても楽しい素晴らしい思い出となりました。次回は家族と是非伺いたいと思います。ありがとうございました。
