my husband and i went on the star of honolulu last year for our annual trip to hawaii, and he surprised me the dinner cruise on valentines day! it was just perfect. i thought we were going to go to a regular dinner but instead he takes me to this luxury ship and even got the 5 star!! that was just too much! the jazz music was so relaxing, so much better than the cheesey hula music, and the food was ridiculously delicious ^_^ like i haven't had anything that good since. the steak like melted into my mouth and the appetizers were so yummers too~!!!!

i wish i was in hawaii for valentines again this year so i could go again XD

The crew also joined in the fun, making it a very enjoyable event. I participated in the romance dinner, and the jazz performance was wonderful, with all the food being delicious, which made my family happy as well. The only disappointment was the bus transportation; I understand it was New Year's Eve, but the waiting time for both the outbound and return trips was quite long, and I hope for improvements in that area.

船員さん達も一緒になって盛り上がり、大変楽しいイベントでした。ロマンスディナーで参加しましたがジャズ演奏も素晴らしく、料理も全て美味しく、家族も喜んでいました。
唯一残念だったのはバス送迎で、大みそかで仕方ないとは思うのですが往復とも待機時間がかなりかかり改善を願いたいところです。

I wanted to ride the Star of Honolulu again after my last trip to Hawaii, and while searching, I discovered a fireworks viewing and countdown course on December 31. Since it was a special countdown, I decided to sign up for a more extravagant and memorable experience.

The Star of Honolulu is not just a simple dinner cruise where you enjoy a meal and the night view; it’s a meaningful experience where you sing and dance with the staff. We welcomed the countdown on the deck, and we were able to see fireworks from both the Ala Moana area and the Kahala area, as well as fireworks from various other districts, making for a truly luxurious time.

I also ordered champagne, but when I requested to change it to a non-alcoholic option (Shanmeri) on-site, they handled it without any complaints, and the staff was very kind and helpful. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

前回の渡ハの時に乗船したスターオブホノルルに再度乗りたく思い、探していると12月31日の花火観賞＆カウントダウンってコースがあるのを発見。
折角のカウントダウンなので、ちょっと豪勢に、そして記憶に残るカウントダウンにしたくて申し込みました。
このスターオブホノルル、ただ食事をして夜景を見て楽しむ単純なディナークルーズではなく、スタッフと一緒に歌って踊ってこそ意味のあるコースです。
カウントダウンは、デッキで迎えた訳ですが、アラモアナ地区であがる花火とカハラ地区？であがる花火を両方（その他色々な地区の花火も見える）見ることができ、とても贅沢な時間を迎えることが出来ました。
追加で、シャンパンを頼んでいたのですが、現地でノンアルコール（シャンメリー）に変更をお願いしたのですが嫌な顔ひとつせず対応してくれましたし、スタッフも親切で助かりました。
また機会があったら参加したいと思います。

My husband and I went on this sail last year in Hawaii, and it was by far the best time I had while I was there. The catamaran is really beautiful and I loved just chilling out on the nets at the front of the boat. The hubby and I just snuggled and sipped our drinks while watching the fireworks and the skyline. All of Waikiki was sparkling and being on the water was the BEST way to see the fireworks. I know that back at home, it can get really crowded on the shoreline so not having to deal with the mess of people was a fantastic perk. A great big thank you to the captain and crew and we will see you again soon!

This luau is fantastic. We never really know what to do for nightlife now that the kiddos are here with us (no nanny!) But this luau was surprisingly perfect for us all.

My wife and I were amazed at how much hands-on activities were available for our kids to run around and explore/discover. It was so great because we actually felt like they were getting an education in Hawaiian history and culture...but never KNEW because it was so fun and interactive! Kudos for that! The food was amazing...we all ate way too much! And the show was the best part of all. Couldn't have asked for better. Mahalo (which we learned means thanks!)

OK, there was a pod of 200 dolphins swimming all around our boat - which was a trip, sunset views were awesome - you won't see a sunset like this one in Waikiki, believe me I went one TWO sailing trips in Waikiki last week, which were great too ... but on this trip we actually saw the sun slip away behind the ocean horizon. The crew was so friendly and chill and accommodating ... no pressure ... no trying to shamelessly sell you stuff, actually, Captain Patrick shared all the free stuff to do along the coast, we saw the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Disney hotel too. The snorkeling was great! The food was simple and healthy and tasty! Yum! I understand that this is a newer tour so we only had about 18 people on a 49 capacity boat .... so lots of room to stretch out and get some tanning done. Thank you all at the Ocean Joy for such an amazing experience! We will be back the Kai oli oli again!!

Thanks for making my life a bit easier Hawaii Activities! I am quite possibly the WORST gift giver in the universe! I never seem to quite "get it right!" when picking presents....and so when my daughter's college graduation came up, and I knew she was celebrating with a trip to Oahu....I asked for HELP...and my husband found this gift certificate option on the site.

Well...my daughter LOVES anytime she gets to call the shots! And so this gift was a WINNER! thanks Hawaii Activities!

I travel to Hawaii with friends about twice a year. This time, due to work commitments, I ended up going a day earlier by myself, so I decided I wanted to have a different experience and opted for a massage.

Actually, I realized during the flight that I had double-booked it with another activity. In other words, I mistakenly reserved the date wrong. I thought there would be no refund for a same-day cancellation, but after checking into the hotel, I contacted them to let them know I couldn't make it.

They responded in English and asked if there was another day that would work for me, so in the end, I was able to receive the massage on my first day of arrival. The massage I received was called "Lomi Pohaku," which combines Lomi Lomi massage and oil massage. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but they carefully and slowly worked on all the tired areas of my body in a calm atmosphere, and it felt so good that I almost fell asleep. This time, Yoko was my therapist, and I could really feel the fatigue melting away from my head to my toes.

I plan to go to Hawaii again this December, so I definitely want to experience this again as a repeat customer. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

年２回位の割合でハワイ旅行に友達と行っています。
今回、仕事の都合で自分ひとりで１日先に行くことになった為、いつもと違う体験をしたいと考えマッサージを受ける事に決めました。
実は、他のアクティビティとダブルブッキングしている事に飛行機の中で気付きました。つまり日にちを間違えて予約してしまったのです。当日キャンセルは返金なしだと思っていましたのが、とりあえずホテルにチェックイン後、伺えない旨連絡を入れました。
英語での対応でしたが、他の日で都合の良い時間を聞いてくれたので、結果的に到着初日にマッサージを受ける事が出来ました。
私の受けたのは「ロミポハク」というものでロミロミマッサージとオイルマッサージが組み合されているものです。正直、期待していませんでしたが、全身の疲れている個所を丁寧ゆっくりと落着いた雰囲気の中、揉みほぐしてくれて、とても気持がよく眠ってしまうほどでした。今回はＹＯＫＯさんが担当してくれましたが、頭からつま先まで疲れがスーと抜けていく感じが実感できました。今年１２月に再度またハワイに行く予定なので、必ずまたリピーターとして受けたいと思います。本当に素晴らしい企画をありがとうございます。

I used the $77.77 campaign this time. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I experienced a lomilomi massage. They used warm stones and their arms for the treatment, which felt really good, and I ended up sleeping through most of it. I highly recommend it.

今回＄77.77のキャンペーンで利用させていただきました。初めてのハワイでロミロミを体験しましたが、温かい石を使ったり、腕を使っての施術でとても気持ち良く途中からずっと寝てしまいました。お勧めです。

I went on my first day in Hawaii.
The massage after a long flight was truly relaxing.
Not only did I receive a body massage, but the gentle conversation with the staff also eased my mind.
The process involves choosing an aroma oil and enjoying a generous stone massage.
It was my first experience, but it felt wonderful.
I will definitely request it again next time!
The cost performance is also good, so I recommend it.
Thank you very much!

ハワイ初日に行ってきました。
長いフライトのあとのマッサージは本当に癒されました。
体のマッサージだけでなく、優しくお話してくださる担当の方に心もほぐしていただきました。
流れはアロマオイルを選んで、ストーンマッサージをたっぷりしていただけます。
初めての体験でしたがとても気持ちよかったです。
次回もまた絶対にお願いします！！
コストパフォーマンスもよいのでオススメです。
本当にありがとうございました。

I took my daughter on a Hawaiian vacation and I wanted to get out to celebrate the holiday in a special way somehow. She is 13 and just at that age where it is still "cool" to go out on dates with your dad. So I decided to take her on this cruise and make a big night of it.

It was perfect! We got a little dressed up and went on board...there was live music and a delicious dinner (I had Mahi Mahi that was out of this world, and they even had a vegetarian offering for my always on a diet daughter!)

Watching the fireworks show, and seeing my little girl happy and feeling like a queen for the night...that was priceless. Worth the money, without a doubt!

My wife and I took this cruise and had a great time!

Being new to the area, we asked for some suggestions and several people mentioned the Star of Honolulu to us. So we gave it a shot, and we are so glad we did.

It was easy to get to the pickup point right from our hotel, we actually walked! And then the dinner was great. I am a big eater, and a self-professed food snob, but that lobster and five-course meal was truly amazing. Fireworks capped off the night with a bang, and it was just wonderful.

We seen so many dolphins and we were even fortunate enough to see Bottlenose Dolphins which are much much bigger than the frequent spinner dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins do not come around the islands very often so this was a real treat, maybe even a once in a lifetime opportunity!!

The crew was very friendly and they held my sister's hand in the water because she is afraid of sea animals. But ONCE she put her mask on and placed her head under the water, it was a whole different world for her filled with beautiful colored fish and a huge reef system that surrounded her.

Wonderful crew, Tasty food, everyone on-board was really friendly and after a nice dip out in the deep blue ocean, you are treated to an open bar. Great Stuff! Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Ocean Joy Cruises for a wonderful dolphin watch and cruise!

My son and his wife went to Hawaii for their honeymoon and rather than giving them another gravy boat, I wanted to give them something that they would really enjoy. This Gift Certificate was PERFECT! They were able to choose the tours that they wanted to do, when they wanted to do it.

I was a bit confused at first about choosing the dates, but the nice staff at Hawaiiactivities let me know that I could just choose any date. They sent me an email and I just printed it up and handed it off to them. PERFECT! Thank you for a great idea!

I arranged their limousine service for my friend's wedding in Hawaii this past weekend. The driver was on time (our group was late), and he was very friendly and accommodating. The H2 Hummer was super nice, and I wanted to keep on riding it. It fit our large party comfortably.

Thanks Platinum Limousine!

I participated in an early morning cruise. When it comes to the winter sea, it's all about whales. I was torn between a whale tour and this one, but I decided to take a chance on the winter sea and chose this tour.

Although it was a dolphin tour, we stopped at a point where we could see whales at the beginning of the cruise, and I was able to see my long-awaited whales. I was also satisfied to see a mother and baby whale!

Then, we encountered many dolphins, and just when I thought we found one, a group of a dozen dolphins appeared, which was so exciting! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as I saw a lot of fish.

I'm not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to snorkel with peace of mind. This time, there were three generations participating, from 0 to 71 years old, and my 3-year-old son enjoyed snorkeling, while my in-laws also had a great time on the cruise and snorkeling.

There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, which was reassuring. I couldn't eat lunch on the boat due to a bit of seasickness, but the staff kindly packaged it for me to take home. I ate it at the hotel after returning, and it was light and delicious.

早起きクルーズに参加しました。
冬の海といえばクジラ。クジラツアーと悩んだのですが、
冬の海に賭けて、こちらのツアーを選択しました。
イルカツアーでしたが、クルーズのはじめはクジラが見えるポイントへも寄ってくれて、念願のクジラを見ることができました。親子クジラにもあえて満足！
そして、本題のイルカにもたくさんあえました。１頭見つけたと思ったら十数頭のイルカの群が現れて大興奮！
その後のシュノーケリングもお魚がたくさんみえました。
私はカナヅチなのですが、ライフジャケットのお陰で安心してシュノーケリングできました。
今回三世代で０歳~７１歳の参加でしたが、３歳の息子もシュノーケリングを楽しみ、義両親もクルーズ＆シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
スタッフは日本語の堪能な方がいて安心できました。
昼食はちょっと船酔いのため船内で食べられなかったのですが、スタッフのかたが配慮くださり、お持ち帰り用にまとめてくださいました。帰宅後にホテルで食べたのですがあっさりしていて美味しかったです。

This time, we added a window-side seat with a bottle of champagne as an option. Since the surrounding guests were mostly couples, it seemed unusual to have two women, but I recommend a couple's seat since you will be seated at a round table. The meal was luxurious, featuring a whole lobster! We were able to enjoy a wonderful countdown while watching fireworks rising towards Waikiki. Additionally, the hula dance show was impressive, and I wished I could have watched more. Alan.1 offers tours at lower prices compared to other tour companies. They accommodated us at a lower price this time as well due to such circumstances. I have posted an article about the cruise on my blog. I hope it conveys some of the fun we had. Please take a look if you're interested! ♪

今回はボトルシャンパン付の窓際席をオプションとして追加しました。
周りはカップルばかりだったので女性2人は珍しいようでしたが、円卓では相席になってしまうのでカップル席をオススメします♪
お料理はロブスター1尾付で豪華です！
ワイキキ方面に上がる花火を見ながら素晴らしいカウントダウンが出来ました。
また、フラダンスショーは見応えがあって、もっと見ていたかったです。
alan.1では他のツアー会社より高いツアーは安くして下さいます。
今回もそのような事情でお安く対応して下さいました。

Watching the fireworks rising from various locations while counting down from the boat was a great experience. The staff was friendly, and I had a lot of fun.

I felt very rich in spirit.

　何か所からも上がる花火を船から見ながらのカウントダウン
スタッフもフレンドリーだし、楽しかったです。

とってもリッチな気分でした。

It was a great experience, it was sooooooo relaxing!

We both ( me and my wife) liked the ambience of the establishment (in a quiet room of a busy hotel 1/2 block away from the beach). The staff were extremely polite and friendly and were very professional in their massage. Their selection of soothing melodies were especially appealing to us and the aromatherapy was a welcome addition.

Overall, i would recommend it to anyone looking for a way to quickly get the kinks out of their muscles and recover from a long journey to Hawaii. It prepared us for the hikes and the swims and the kayak rides we undertook during out trip.

Very satisfied.

Great trip.

It started with a sunset while enjoying dinner, and I had the main dish of lobster. My hands got a bit messy, but it was delicious. I wish there had been a special spoon for crab so I could have eaten everything. It would have also been nice to have extra napkins. I thought a finger bowl would have been even better. The steak was a reasonable size and very tasty. I reserved a window-side seat, but during the fireworks, everyone gathered on the right side, and only a couple of groups were seated to watch. Luckily, I was able to join one of those groups. I enjoyed the night view of Honolulu and was able to watch the spectacular fireworks while seated, making it the best night ever. The entertainment until we returned to port included Hawaiian and jazz performances, and we all got excited dancing together at the end. The traffic on the way back to the hotel was as expected and took a while, but compared to the traffic in Tokyo, it wasn't too bad. The fare was nearly double what it was on the way there, but I was able to get some great information from the taxi driver during our conversation.

DINNERを楽しみながらのSUNSETから始まり、MAIN DISHのROBSTOR少し手は汚れましたが美味しくいただきました。蟹専用のスプーンがあれば全てを食べつくせたのに残念でした。またナプキンが余分に置いてあれば良いのですが？フィンガーボウルがあればさらに良かったと思いました。ステーキも手ごろな大きさで美味しくいただきました。WINDOW SAIDEの席を予約いたしましたが花火のときは右舷に全員が集まり座席で座って見ているのは2.3のGROOPのみで運良くそのGROOPに入ることが出来ました。HONOLULUの夜景を楽しみさらに盛大な花火を座って見ることが出来最高の夜をすごすことが出来ました。帰港するまでのENTERTAINMENTもHAWAIAN & JAZZの演奏最後は全員参加での踊りで盛り上がりました。帰りのHOTELまでの渋滞は予想通りでしばらくかかりましたが東京での渋滞に比較すればさほどではありませんでした。行きの倍近くの料金になりましたがTAXI DRIVERとの会話でとっておきの情報をGETすることが出来ました。

Ms. Yuka was an excellent masseuse. I usually get massages 1~2/month in Seattle, but she exceeded my expectations!!!

My lomilomi massage was just what I needed - all my sore spots got attention and I came away feeling soothed & energized. Lovely atmosphere and friendly, talented therapist!

Well worth the price. Most relaxing massage we have ever had, will definately come back next year. The hot stones were amazing.

Absolutely amazing day, wonderful staff, great meal and drinks and of course the dolphins and turtles were fabulous.

I did this the same day I arrived. The location is great if you're staying in Waikiki.

The massage was super relaxing. The value for the price is phenomenal. It was not at a big fancy spa but the massage was professionally done. Having limited experience with massages I was a bit surprised to find my back extremely sore for the next 2 days which isn't quite how I wanted to feel on vacation in Hawaii, but not being a massage expert I assume this would probably be true for any massage I would have gotten anywhere.

I also looked quite disheveled walking back to my hotel after the massage so I would suggest planning time after your massage to clean-up (fix hair/make-up and come out of the massage coma) before going somewhere else.

I made a reservation on-site and participated with a friend.

At first, I thought it would only be Japanese people, but there were also various people from Europe and America, which made me really excited. The inside of the boat was clean, and the restroom was nice too.

As we set off, the captain immediately started explaining in English, and I thought, "I don't understand this at all (#^.^#)," but then, to my surprise, Jin-kun appeared, speaking Japanese fluently (and he was handsome too)! He asked, "Are there any Japanese people here?" It was so cute and hilarious!!

Thanks to that, I was sure I could enjoy myself without worry!

The sea was incredibly beautiful, with different shades of blue depending on the location, and the breeze felt nice. I didn't want to go back, even though we had just started.

Before long, we spotted dolphins, and they kept coming one after another!!! In the end, there was a huge group of over 20 dolphins swimming right next to the boat, and they were so cute, I was extremely satisfied☆

After that, during snorkeling, I swam with sea turtles and fish, feeling like I had become a fish myself. It was quite cold after snorkeling, but there were four showers with warm water, so I was able to warm up.

And finally, it was time for lunch☆ While preparing lunch, Jin-kun jokingly asked about the chicken, "Is this your first time eating dolphin?" which surprised me and made me laugh a lot☆

The lunch was delicious, and I ended up eating a lot (*^_^*).

When my friend felt a bit seasick, Jin-kun noticed and asked, "Are you okay?" He was very considerate and gave various advice, which was really helpful. He's a thoughtful guy.

In the end, I took a photo with Jin-kun and reluctantly headed back (__).

As you can see, I really became quite fond of Jin-kun on this tour!!!!!!!

It was an absolutely wonderful tour that I definitely want to go on again☆☆☆

現地で予約して友達と2人で参加しました。

初めは日本人だけかと思いきや、欧米の方達も色々いて、
すごくワクワクしました。
船の中は清潔でトイレもきれいでした。

出発すると、すぐにキャプテンが英語で説明してくれて、わかんないやこりゃ(#^.^#)と思っていたら、なんと！！！
日本人より流暢と言っていいほどの日本語を話す（しかもイケメン）ジン君が登場！！
「え~、日本人の方いますか~？」
って、キュン殺＆超うけました！！

そのおかげで、安心して楽しめると確信！！

沖のほうは海がすっごく綺麗で、青色が場所によって違って、風も気持ち良いし、帰りたくない！！と出発したばかりなのに、思ってしまうほど。


そうこうしてるうちに、イルカが見えてきて、しかも次々に！！！
しまいには、２０匹以上かと言うくらいの大群が船のすぐ傍をずっと泳いでいて、かなり可愛くて、大満足☆


その後、シュノーケリングでは海がめや魚達と一緒に泳いで、自分も魚になったような気分でいました。
シュノーケリングの後はかなり寒かったのですが、ちゃんと温かいお湯の出るシャワーが４つもあり、温まる事ができました。


そして、いよいよlunch☆
lunchの準備中、またまたジン君がチキンの事を
「イルカ食べるの初めてです？」
とかいう、冗談言うもんだから、
めちゃびっくりして、大笑いしました☆

lunchがまたおいしくて、いっぱい食べちゃいました(*^_^*)

友達が少し船酔いしていると、ジン君が気づいて、
「大丈夫ですか？」
と、気遣ってくれて、色々アドバイスくれたので、助かりました。気が利く子です。


最後にジン君と写真撮影して、泣く泣く帰りました(__)



と、お分かりの通りこのツアー、私はかなりジン君がおきにいりになりました！！！！！


絶対また行きたい大大大満足のツアーでした☆☆☆

The dolphin tour had several options, and I was unsure which to choose, but I picked this one and it was the best decision. The boat was a large catamaran, spacious, clean, fast, and felt safe. We first went to the dolphin point and after seeing the dolphins, we headed to see whales. We spotted a spout in the distance and approached it quickly because the boat was fast, allowing us to get close in no time. After chasing and watching the whales for a while, we returned to the dolphin point for snorkeling. The equipment was clean, and the staff took great care of my 4-year-old grandson. There was a staff member named Tamiko who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. She taught the Japanese guests with great care. At the snorkeling point, by chance, while my grandson and I were playing near the boat, a large sea turtle surfaced right beneath us, coming up very close. I was so surprised that I took off my snorkel and shouted, "It's a turtle!" This stroke of luck was shared by the two of us and two foreign guests nearby. The others were away from the boat and missed this fortunate encounter. After that, we had lunch, which was luxurious and surprisingly impressive for a meal on a boat. The drinks included unlimited beer and Hawaiian cocktails, and we could eat wherever we liked on the boat. During that time, the boat cruised even further than the whale sighting point, making for a very satisfying watching cruise. My wife was also very satisfied, and I think we will definitely become repeat customers. I highly recommend it. There are other tours nearby, but they can't compare in terms of luxury.

イルカツアーはアランさんのなかでもいくつかあり、迷いましたが、このツアーにして最高でした。船も大きな双胴船で、広くてきれいで速くて安心でした。最初にイルカポイントへ行きイルカを見た後今度はクジラをミニみにいきました。遠くに潮を吹いているのを見つけて近づくのですが船が速いのですぐに近くまで行けました。そこでしばらくクジラを追いかけてウォッチングをした後またイルカポイントへ戻りそこでシュノーケリングです。道具もきれいで4歳の孫にはスタッフの方がいろいろと世話をしてくださいました。日本語の出来るタミ子さんという方がおられたので安心でした。日本人には彼女が丁寧に教えてくれました。シュノーケルポイントではたまたまですが私と4歳の孫が船の近くで遊んでいたら真下から大きなウミガメが浮上したきて、すぐそばに浮き上がり、あまりの驚きにシュノーケルを外して『カメだー』と叫んでしまいました。この幸運は私たち二人と近くにいた外人さん二人の４にんでした。たの人たちは船から離れていてこの幸運に遭遇できませんでした。その後はランチでしたがこれが豪華で船の上の食事とはおもえないくらいの感動ランチでした。飲み物もビールはもちろん、ハワイアンカクテルも飲み放題で船の上で好き勝手な場所で食事でした。その間また船はクジラを見たポイントよりもまだ先までクルーズしてくれて大満足のウォッチングクルーズでした。
家内も大満足で多分リピーターになると思います。
絶対オススメ。近くに他のツアーも来ていますが豪華さでは比較になりませんよ。

There was a lot of fun and lively activity. A variety of dances and bright colorful costumes. The food was excellent with something for everyone. The show was topped off with one of the best fire dances I have ever seen!
