Best dive company on Oahu without a doubt! I wish I could dive everyday with these guys. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable crew, top-notch gear, a luxurious dive boat and they are on the west side where the best diving on the island is! They really go above and beyond to ensure you have an excellent experience both above and below water. Our guide, Drew, was awesome. He was extremely attentive and pointed out countless different types of marine life that most divers would pass right by without even noticing. After diving, the crew cut up a fresh pineapple and sprinkled li hing powder on it, which was a perfect post-dive snack. I will definitely be back!

We had such a fabulous night on this cruise. The fireworks were fabulous but more importantly the hosts were great, funny and made the experience even better. Loved going for a sail afterwards and the maitais were delicious. Thanks for an awesome night.

I was so excited for this ride and dinner. I became extremely sick during the cruise having had a kidney transplant a few months before and an infection. The crew and captain were amazing not only we they extremely kind but the captain got us an Uber to the hospital. They also bagged up my dinner which we accidentally forgot in the Uber but it smelled delicious. The people on that ship are truly good people and I won’t forget their kindness!
Glad everything worked out ok, thank for taking the time to send such a nice review.

It may have been due to the bad weather the day before, but there was more rocking than expected, and many people got seasick (myself included). I was enjoying the scenery while feeling the breeze outside, but I started to feel unwell and couldn't enjoy the drinks or food at all... Among the passengers, there was a woman who became seriously ill, and the yacht had to make an emergency U-turn before the fireworks started, and she was taken away by the waiting ambulance. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive, and it was impressive how they handled the sick passenger with care. This was unavoidable, but in the end, we couldn't see the fireworks. There was an apology to all passengers for not being able to complete the tour, and they explained that negotiations for refunds and other compensations could be made, but there has been no contact since then. No one can be blamed, but I feel like I missed out. Even those who usually don't get seasick might want to take precautions just in case.
前日まで天候が悪かったからかもしれませんが、想定以上の揺れで、船酔い者多数でした(自分も含め)。外の風にあたりながら気持ちよく景色を楽しんでいたのですが、途中から気分が悪くなりお酒も食事も全く楽しめず…。中でも酷く体調を崩された女性がいて、花火が打ちあがる前にヨットは急遽Uターンし、待っていた救急車で運ばれていきました。スタッフは終始フレンドリーかつ気配りをされていて、急病者にも丁寧に対応をされていたのが印象的です。こればかりは仕方ないのですが、結局花火も見れずじまい。全乗客に対し、最後までツアーを行えなかったことに対する謝罪があり、返金等の対応も交渉できるという説明がありましたが、特にその後連絡はありません。誰も責められませんが、なんだか損をした気分です。普段船酔いしないという方も、念のため予防策はとっておいた方が良いかもしれません。

This was an amazing experience! I went with a group of friends and we all loved the environment of the cruise ship. The food was pretty amazing and the live jazz performance was very enjoyable. My favorite was definitely the Polynesian live dance performance. This 30-minute performance was the highlight of the night. The dancers wouldn't just perform, they would interact with the audience by giving high fives, springing peace signs at unexpected times and made our corner of the ship laugh the entire time. If you get seasick easily, I would recommend taking some kind of precaution/medication (the servers were able to provide some medication, too) since a few of my friends did start feeling queasy for a little bit and had to spend some time on the lower deck. However, don't let motion sickness keep you from the cruise! It was still altogether wonderful time.

I had seen the Friday fireworks from Waikiki Beach several times, but when I found "Sailing," I thought, this is it!! There were about 50 people on board, and only four of us were Japanese, but it was reassuring to have Japanese language support. I was impressed by the hospitality of Captain Matthew and the staff, including Masa. There were plenty of drinks and a buffet, which made me very satisfied. The pleasant sea breeze and the fireworks in the night sky of Waikiki created wonderful memories. I highly recommend it to everyone!
ワイキキビーチからの金曜日花火は、何度か観ていたのですが「セーリング」を見つけてこれだ!!と。
満席(約50名)の中、日本人は4人でしたが日本語でも安心。マシュー船長はじめ、マサさん他スタッフのホスピタリティに感激。
飲み物、ビュッフェもたっぷりあって満足。心地よい潮風とワイキキの夜空の花火は、良い思い出になりました。みなさんも是非!

The sunset dinner was truly a great experience. Everything was very well organized. We were served champagne to begin with and helped ourselves to fresh cheese, crackers and fruit trays. And those were left out for everyone the entire trip, which is beneficial when you have kids who might not like the whole dinner but still want to eat something. The entire dinner was fresh and tasty, and plentiful. Beverages were refilled as necessary but there weren't a lot of soda options. The sunset was beautiful. You just have to keep watch for the ideal time to take pictures of your experience. The entertainment was great, with music and dancers. Great experience overall!!

It was great to have only Japanese and Asian participants, which gave it an international feel. I became friends with the Riana couple, who live in Arizona and have a vacation home in Hawaii, and we had a lot of fun joking around together. It might be difficult for those who are not good at English at all, but if you can speak a little, you'll definitely have a good time.

So glad we chose this fireworks dinner cruise over others. Captains Tiger and Stephanie and the staff put in so much effort to make you feel welcome and have a good time. Dinner was served as it was cooked, so it was all hot and fresh, and we had the perfect spot for a view of the fireworks show. On the way back, we were treated to hula performances and fire spinning. It was a very nice evening and we will do it again.
Thanks for the nice review, we appreciate it. we have a new menu with Prime Rib on the Friday fireworks trip all prepared fresh by our new on bored chef, hope you join us again.

The food was exceptional especially considering the number of people being served. The staff was polite and very accommodating. The young entertainers interacted with the crowd and performed in their traditional attire. We came back to the port with a bang, singing and dancing. I would definitely recommend this cruise. My only disappointment was that the harbor/tower area used to be filled with shops. It was our last night on the island and it would have been nice to purchase those last minute sovereigns. Now it’s just empty with a few eateries.

This was a GREAT sunset cruise - food was good, drinks were good (and they did not even make you give in your drink tickets so not trying to get more out of you) and the show was good.
Just one thing to improve upon:
1. Seating took way too long. You know who is coming so you should have assigned seating and it should be really quick - not making people stand in stairwell for 20 minutes just to get seated

The Star of Honolulu sunset cruise, was awesome! My husband surprised me with the dinner cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Once on board, we met and had a picture taken with the Captain. We visited with some of the staff, they were fascinated that we were American Indians. Once the cruise set off, appetizers were served and it was the beginning of the amazing 7 course dinner. Each course was better than the previous dish served. The serving staff were fantastic, took care of any needs or questions we had. The entertainment was extraordinary, from the piano player, Hawaiian dancers to the beautiful singer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something very special for any occasion.

From the moment that we first interacted with staff at the shuttle bus pick-up, the whole package was seamless. Staff made the bus ride and boarding so easy that we just had to be swept along and enjoy the experience. The management on the boat was also superb, but kept personal. The Friday night fireworks just completed a beautiful night.

The sunset in Waikiki offers a breathtaking view of the night scenery from the boat, and you can enjoy the fireworks without any obstructions. With light meals and alcohol, I had a great time feeling a bit tipsy among the high-energy passengers and the crew who spoke Japanese. It's also reassuring that there are restrooms on board. If there are many Japanese guests, they provide individual explanations in Japanese, which was very appreciated.
ワイキキのサンセット、夜景が船から一望でき、花火も視界を遮るものが何も無く堪能できます。軽い食事とアルコールでほろ酔い気分でハイテンションな乗客と日本語が通じるクルーのおもてなしでとても良い時間を過ごすことができました。トイレも船内にあるので安心です。日本人が多い場合は、日本語で個別に説明をしてくれるのでそこもありがたかったです。
