サンセット・ディナーセーリング スピリット・オブ・アロハ号 <金曜日限定/ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発>

Friday is surprisingly great! 金曜日は意外と最高です!

Reviewed by: ふーみん

I reluctantly participated here as I couldn't secure a reservation for the Star of Honolulu and Majestic. However, this cruise takes a detour to ensure a clear view of Diamond Head, and thanks to the surrounding sailboats, you can capture beautiful photos. Unfortunately, on the day of the cruise, the weather was cloudy, so we couldn't see the sunset, but it would have been visible without any issues on a clear day. The buffet can be thought of as simple fast food and drinks, so I don't think it will be a major issue. As for the evening fireworks, it was surprisingly close, which was quite moving.

One point to note right after boarding is that the announcements will be made in Japanese in the cabin and in English on the deck. It’s definitely advisable to secure a spot on the deck. The announcements include the locations of the restrooms (two at the back), explanations of the boat/life jackets in case of an emergency, and how to order drinks, which are all straightforward matters.

スターオブホノルル号とマジェスティック号の予約が取れず、渋々こちらに参加しました。
然るに、本回遊はダイヤモンドヘッドがしっかり見えるまで迂回し、周りの帆船の甲斐あって、美しい写真が撮れます。当日は残念ながら曇天につき夕陽は拝めませんでしたが、快晴であれば問題なく見れたでしょう。ビュッフェは簡単なファストフード&ドリンクと思って頂ければ大きな問題にはならないと思います。後は夜の花火ですが、意外と間近で拝見することになり感無量になります。
一点、乗船直後の諸注意連絡ですが、日本語説明をキャビンで、英語説明をデッキで行います。どう考えても場所取りはデッキを押さえるべきです。連絡事項はトイレの場所(後方2箇所)、不慮の事故の際のボート/ライフジャケットの説明、ドリンクオーダーの仕方などで全く問題ない内容です。

I also rode on the Majestic, so I would be happy if you could use it for comparison. First of all, the Majestic is a large ship, like a cruise ship. Therefore, it doesn't sway. However, the distance from the sea is far, so I would definitely recommend the Majestic for elderly people.

The Makani is a large yacht. It's thrilling, and you are very close to the sea, so think of it as a home party atmosphere on a big yacht. Because it's thrilling, it sways a lot. I took my parents in their 70s, and they struggled to endure the swaying, which left them with sore legs and unable to move the next day, forcing us to take a day off at the hotel.

The food is not much different on either, but since it sways a lot, many people got seasick. (About 30% of the people were definitely seasick.)

If you want a small passenger ship that is stable and doesn't sway, go for the Majestic. If you want to enjoy the sea and the swaying with a yacht-like experience, choose the Makani.

The low rating is not due to poor content, but because there wasn't much mention of the swaying in the reviews, which led me to take my parents in their 70s without considering it, resulting in a low rating. The staff and the ship were not bad.

マジェスティック号にも乗りましたので、比較検討に使ってもらえたらうれしいです。まず、マジェスティック号は大きな船です。客船みたいな。なので、揺れません。その代わり海との距離は遠いのでご年配の方は迷わずマジェスティックをお勧めします。
マカニ号は大きなヨットです。スリリングですし、海とも非常に近く、大きなヨットの上でホームパーティみたいな雰囲気だと思ってください。スリリングな分、めちゃくちゃ揺れます。70代の両親を連れて行ったのですが、あまりの揺れに踏ん張って耐えていたため、翌日足腰が痛くて動けなくなり、翌日一日ホテルでお休みを取ることになってしまいました。
食事の内容はどっちも大差ないですが、とにかく揺れるので、だいぶみなさん酔ってました。(3割ぐらいの方は確実に酔ってました。)
小さな客船で揺れもなく安定した感じを希望ならマジェスティック号。
海面と近くてヨットに乗る感覚で海や揺れを楽しみたい方はマカニ号です。

評価が低いのは内容が悪いのではなく、評価の中であんまり揺れに関する事が書かれていなかったので、揺れを気にせず70代の両親を連れて行ってしまったという事での低評価です。スタッフの方も船も悪くはありません。

Reviewed by: Joanne

My family and I had so much fun on this cruise! I wish I could remember the staff's name because they were so nice! It was the Captain's birthday and the bartender was a tall blond. My daughter was on crutches at the time of the cruize and the bartender put her on her back and carried her all the way from the boat to the sidewalk where she could walk with crutches again. Truly a great experience. And the fireworks were amazing!

Reviewed by: ハワイの乙姫

The Makani No. 2 was a two-hull yacht.
In March, Hawaii is in its rainy season, and unfortunately, the weather was not great, but luckily it didn't rain.
We set sail from Kewalo Basin and enjoyed a round trip of about two hours near Diamond Head. I was able to experience the Hawaiian sea right beneath us and had a thrilling time.
Along the way, I got quite cold, but the staff member kindly served us warm herbal tea. The cookies were delicious too! ^_^

マカ二号は二艘式のヨットでした。
3月はハワイは雨季で、あいにくのお天気でしたが、なんとか雨ではなかったのが幸いでした。
ケワロ湾を出航、ダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで往復約2時間の航行。ハワイの海を真下に体感しながら、スリリングな時間を楽しめました。
途中、とても体が冷えてきましたが、スタッフのお兄さんが温かいハーブティをサービスしてくれました。クッキーも美味しかったです^_^

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Sunset Dinner Cruise on the "Star of Honolulu"

Reviewed by: Gerald O'Donnell

My wife and I went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise on the Star of Honolulu to celebrate our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. This was one of the things we had scheduled in advance of our trip to Oahu, because we had heard nothing but good things about the cruise. They did not disappoint. From our meet and great with the captain to the final departure from the ship, everything was first class. The entire crew was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Our server, Germese, could not have been any nicer and very attentive. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. We also enjoyed the live entertainment during and after dinner. It did start to rain as we were heading back to the dock, but the crew took very good care of us and walked us out to our transportation with umbrellas. Would definitely cruise again if we get back to Waikiki. We would certainly recommend the Star of Honolulu to anyone who wants to be treated perfectly. Aloha!

サンセット・ディナーセーリング スピリット・オブ・アロハ号 <金曜日限定/ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発>

Sunset & Fireworks Viewing Dinner Sailing サンセット&花火鑑賞・ディナーセーリング

Reviewed by: fy_kari

The number of passengers is about 40 to 50, mostly foreigners. When we boarded, there were only three groups of Japanese, including us.

All explanations and announcements after boarding are in English, but even for someone like me who struggles with English, I could somewhat grasp the atmosphere and understood that they were explaining the ship's features and safety instructions with a bit of humor.

After departure, we had about two hours of free time to enjoy meals and drinks, take in the scenery, and take photos. Initially, many people focused on getting food and ordering drinks, but after a while, the atmosphere on the ship settled down. The staff came around to take drink orders, took photos, and later brought around desserts. As we approached the time for fireworks, the staff provided guidance (all in English), and everyone moved to the deck to enjoy the fireworks from prime spots.

After the fireworks ended, we returned to the dock, marking the end of the dinner sailing.

As noted in the guidelines, "the dress code is casual," which made me wonder how casual it really was. I think wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and sandals is perfectly fine. As mentioned in other people's experiences, you need to take off your shoes before boarding. In reality, you remove your shoes on land and place them in a large basket, then walk a little on asphalt to board the ship. Most people took off their socks when removing their shoes, so I recommend wearing sandals from the start. Also, since shoes are placed directly in the basket without bags, if you're concerned, it might be best to avoid expensive or brand-name shoes.

Regarding the food, it was a buffet as listed on the menu. The ship swayed quite a bit, so I couldn't eat a full meal and ended up just having light snacks. For drinks, each person received two alcohol tickets, but honestly, it felt like you could drink as much as you wanted (though this might have only been the case on the day we participated).

Depending on the weather, the ship can sway quite a lot due to being on the sea. If you're worried at all, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took medication before boarding. To avoid seasickness, I kept my meal light, opted for soft drinks, and thanks to the medication, I was able to enjoy the entire experience without feeling sick.

Overall, true to the tour's name, I was able to enjoy the sunset and fireworks while feeling the pleasant breeze on the sea, creating wonderful memories. The staff were friendly and very nice. However, considering the atmosphere on the ship and the variety of food, I think the price is quite high. Honestly, I found myself justifying the cost with reasons like "it's a family trip" or "we're in Hawaii," trying to convince myself that the price was reasonable.

乗船人数はだいたい40~50名程度でほとんどが外国人の方です。私たちが乗船したときは、私たちを含め日本人は3組でした。
乗船後の説明・案内等は全て英語ですが、英語が苦手な私でもなんとなく雰囲気で船内の説明や注意事項を冗談交じりで説明しているんだなぁということがわかりました。
出発後は、食事やドリンクを受け取り食事をしたり、景色を眺めたり、写真を撮ったり、2時間くらい自由な時間を過ごす感じです。最初は食事を取りに行く方やドリンクを注文しに行く方が集中しますが、少し時間が経つと船内の中が落ち着き、スタッフの方がドリンクの注文を聞いてまわってくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたり、後半にはデザートを持ってまわってくれました。出発から2時間くらいが経って花火の時間が近づくとスタッフの方が案内をしてくれ(全て英語です)、全員デッキへ移動して特等席で花火を見ることが出来ます。
花火終了後は乗り場まで戻り、ディナーセーリング終了という流れです。

ご注意・ご案内の欄にも記載ある通り、“ドレスコードはカジュアルです”となっているため、どの程度のカジュアルなのかとても悩みましたが、Tシャツ・短パン・サンダル等のラフな格好で問題ないと思います。他の方々の体験談にも記載のとおり、船内は靴を脱いで乗船となります。実際は、船を乗る前に、陸のところで靴を脱ぎ大きなカゴみたいなところに靴を入れて、船のところまでアスファルトの上を少し歩き、乗船します。靴下等を履いている場合は、靴を脱ぐ際に一緒に靴下を脱いでいる方がほとんどでしたので、最初からサンダルで行くことをお勧めします。また、靴は袋等に入れることなくカゴの中にそのまま入れるため、もし気になる方がいれば高級な靴やブランド靴は控えたほうが良いかと思います。

料理については、メニューに記載されている内容のビュッフェでした。船が大変揺れますので、私はしっかり食事を取ることはできず、おつまみのような軽食を食べるのみになってしまいました。
ドリンクについては、アルコールチケット1人2枚までもらえますが、正直あまり関係なく何杯でも飲めるような感じでした。(私たちが参加した日だけかもしれませんが)

天候にもよると思いますが、海の上のため、船はかなり揺れます。少しでも心配な方は酔い止め薬を飲むことをお勧めします。私は乗り物酔いをしやすいため、乗船前に薬を飲んでから参加しました。船酔いだけは避けたかったため、食事も軽めに済ませ、ドリンクもソフトドリンクにし、薬を飲んだかいもあり(?)、船酔いすることなく最後まで楽しめました。

全体を通して、ツアー名通り、海の上で心地よい風を感じながらサンセットと花火鑑賞を楽しむことができ、良い思い出となりました。スタッフの方々は気さくでとても良い方ばかりです。
ただ、それにしても船内の感じや料理の種類等からすると値段が高すぎるかと思います。“家族旅行だから”“せっかくハワイまで行ったから”等の理由を無理やりつけて、この値段で納得するようにしているのが正直なところです。

Most spectacular anniversary celebration thus far. Our expectations were exceeded and we plan to do it again!

Reviewed by: Thomas Ohana

Epic is the word that comes to mind. We had the best time. It was more than we had anticipated. We have lived here for 11 years and this was our first time sailing with the Star Of Honolulu. The 5 Star dinner cruise with Live Jazz made our 14th anniversary that much more special. From the warm reception, meeting and greeting the Captain, the Ono pupu’s to the amazing 7 course meal and top notched entertainment we felt like royalty. You can’t beat the amazing sunset and whale sightings either. If you are looking to celebrate or just relax and take in the sights the Star Of Honolulu is definitely the thing to do.
We had a great and memorable time from start to finish. Mahalo Star Of Honolulu .

Anniversary Spectacular!

Reviewed by: Team Thomas

My husband and I had a spectacular time on this 5 star dinner cruise. We've lived here for 11 years and this was our first time experiencing the elegance and absolute superb 5 star dinning experience the Star of Honolulu offers. From start to finish everything was spectacular. We were treated like VIP's. We were greeted and warmly escorted to the boat where we partook of some extremely delectable pupu's while being serenaded by a Polynesian dancer and ukulele player. We were also introduced to the Captain of the ship and was afforded a photo op with him. As the evening progressed the boat set sail and the 7 course meal did not disappoint. We ate until our belly's were super tight. Did I mention the majestic sunset we watched from our window seats? Simply amazing! We also enjoyed the top shelf drinks that were apart of the menu. But not to worry if you are not an alcohol drinker there are many non-alcohol drinks to choose from.
This dinner cruise truly exceeded our expectations and we would wholeheartedly recommend the 5 star experience especially for that very special occasion. Its the perfect way to celebrate. It's kid friendly too. Mahalo Star of Honolulu for a very memorable anniversary! #14yrs

I was expecting a ship for about 100 people, but it turned out to be a boat for about 30 people. The food tasted good, but there were few options and it felt cheap for the price. Alcohol was unlimited up to two drinks, but for those who don't drink, it didn't matter. I was really disappointed that it was so different from what was advertised on the website.

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Amazing and delightful

Reviewed by: くまみ

We attended this cruise on 2017/12/24 Christmas eve and it was a wonderful evening from start to finish.The star of Honolulu is an amazing evening from the coach "Royal Star" transferring us from the hotel to the ship and back with great care. Upon arrival, the 5 star guests were ushered to the boat and boarding was separate from others. A photo, drink and canapes were offered on the top deck. We were then shown our seats - private 2 person table along the window - and drinks were served. The menu was a 7 course meal with the Beef with Foie Gras being the highlight of the dinner! Tender and melts in your mouth. Overall the dinner is a 9/10. Wait service was amazing, very helpful, explained all courses and never stopped smiling. Drinks were well made and presented nicely.
The cruise it self takes you along Waikiki beach with some great views of Diamond Head and all of Waikiki. The ambiance the sunset creates is great for all couples and a very romantic backdrop to take photos and video.
Live entertainment was a nice touch, with a Jazz show. The singer had an amazing voice along with the pianist and sax player.
This is truly an amazing dinner evening with your spouse or partner.

My only disappointment with this cruise is the actual time to spend on the deck enjoying the ocean breeze. Dinner is served shortly after leaving the dock which having a course dinner is hard to get up and leave between each course. We did manage after the salad to leave for a few minutes. The waiter kindly waited to serve us the 4th course when we got back.

Overall this cruise is an amazing romantic and wonderful cruise for couples celebrating. Make sure to pay attention during dinner to get great photos of Waikiki, Diamond Head and sunsets.
Thank you to all the staff of #The Star of Honolulu for your professionalism making our experience a wonderful night.

  • Waikiki and Diamond head view

  • Sweet potato Mulligatawny soup - 2nd course

  • Pineapple pinot grigio sorbet - 5th course

The fireworks were just a little. 花火は少しだけ

Reviewed by: きりちゃん

The sailing departure was at six o'clock, but it wasn't immediately followed by dinner. It was a buffet style; the taste was okay, and the variety was decent. There were many locals, and only two groups of Japanese. Of course, the announcements were only in English. The boat just wandered around Waikiki Beach. The actual fireworks started at 7:45, so it was boring until then. The boat was rocking, so I didn't want to drink too much, and I didn't eat much either. The fireworks lasted only about five minutes, just a star mine. I was disappointed because I had the impression that they would last much longer, like in Japan.

セーリングの出航は六時からでしたが、そのあとすぐディナーというほどではなく、バイキング形式、味はまあまあ、種類はそこそこ

船も揺れますから酒に酔うといけないし、食べ物もたくさん食べませんでした。花火の上がる時間は5分そこそこ、スターマインが上がるだけです。
日本では長い時間あがる感覚でいたのにがっかりでした。

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Sunset Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: The Martinez’s

My husband and I attended the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise on 12/06/17. When we had First checked in we were greeted by a nice lady and apologized and told my husband he was not wearing the proper attire for the night. He was wearing khakis and flip flops. The nice thing is they were accommodating going so far as letting borrow shoes and pants for the night. I was so happy cuz we had limited time and wouldn’t be able to reschedule. And it was my fault at not looking for a dress code when I booked it. Once we got on the boat we were greeted by the captain! He was super nice and well dressed (everybody was). The dancers, entertainment and food was AMAZING! Not to mention the excellent customer service they made sure they took care of all our needs. We will definitely do this again whenever we come back! Must do!!!

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Fireworks & Moonlight Sail with Open Bar

So much fun!

Reviewed by: JRW

My husband and I booked the fireworks sail for our last night in Hawaii and it was a great way to end our trip. The music was right, the fireworks were a beautiful sight, and my cup of maitai was constantly filled by the shirtless bartender! We would definitely book this again when we come back and maybe bring a few friends with us next time. :)

  • About to embark!

花火鑑賞セーリング マカニ・カタマラン号 嬉しいドリンク付き!<ワイキキ送迎可/金曜日限定/ケワロ湾発>

I was moved by the fireworks. 花火に感動

Reviewed by: ゆうみ

I saw the reviews and had some expectations, but there were mostly foreigners, with only two Japanese couples, including us. Everything was explained in English, so I didn't understand much (laughs), but I managed to grasp the atmosphere somehow! The foreigners were getting along well with each other on the spot! The food wasn't great, but I'm glad we went. It was a day of Hawaiian illustrations, so it became a nice memory.

レビューを見て参加したのである程度予想はしてましたが、外人さんばかりで日本人は私達夫婦入れて2組でした。すべて英語での説明でわかりませんでした(笑)でも雰囲気でなんとなく理解しましたが!!外人さん同士はその場で仲良くなっていました!!ご飯は期待できませんが行ってよかったです。ハワイラストの日だったのでいい思い出になりました。

You can see a 360-degree view of the night scenery. 夜景が360度見えます

Reviewed by: サッカー タッチャン

Since it is a yacht-type vessel that accommodates about 60 people, it offers a 360-degree view, allowing us to see the fireworks from a closer point than other vessels, making for an impressive cruise. Additionally, being a catamaran, it had less rocking, and we could enjoy the pleasant sea breeze.

約60人乗りのヨットタイプの船舶なので、360度視界が確保でき、花火のポイントにも他の船舶より近くから見ることができて、迫力満点のクルーズでした、また海面も近く双胴船のため揺れも少なく、潮風を心地よく感じました。
