Oahu
I flew from Los Angeles to celebrate a best friend's birthday in January 2017, and made up another friend's and my own birthday (in November). I treated my friends and myself with the Five Star - Luxury French Cuisine with Live Jazz. It's was a great evening with the hula dancer's Happy Birthday song to my friend, the waiters cordial and professional service, delicious meal, conversation/fellowship time, pianist and jazz music performance which was very interactive with the guests, and nice view of the Sunset, Wikikki hotel "forest" and Diamond Head. Everything was perfect! Absolutely loved it. And it's a great and memorial experience for my friends, too! Thank you all for serving us!
Beautiful cruise overlooking the Waikiki beach front. The buffet was good with plenty of variety and tasty food. wonderful on board entertainment with passenger participation wife has a bad knee and the crew went out of their way to get a wheelchair and move around to and from the bus to ship to the bus.
It was my first time going to Oahu n I was really excited to go on STAR OF HONOLULU n I absolutely loved it so much That I am already planning to come back again this year...
We saw beautiful sunset and city views on the ocean. The food was great. I think it was the most delicious lobster and steak I've ever eaten. The service was fantastic. I will join the dinner cruise again next time I'm in Hawaii.
My husand and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with this romantic sunset dinner cruise. The atmosphere, entertainment, and food was perfect. Thanks for helping make our anniversary special! !!!!
We enjoyed the cruise. The staff was very attentive to us. Dinner was first. Unfortunately the dinner lasted through the sunset and we were seated on the opposite side of the boat. So didn't really see the sunset. We did the crab legs dinner. It was nice. Make sure you get seconds when they offer. They come around a 1 time. The entertainment was fun. The dancers performed in the middle of the deck. That is why dinner is quick. The Honolulu lights at night are a pretty sight. The night was breezy so bring a sweater to through on in case.
Our kids enjoyed all you can ear crabs then loved sunset view.
Since it was a special Friday with my daughters on their first trip to Hawaii, we decided to watch the fireworks from the sea. It was better than I expected, as we could see Diamond Head from a different angle and enjoy the pleasant breeze. The buffet-style meal was also tastier than I anticipated, and there seemed to be a variety of drinks available.
However, it would have been nice to have some notices in Japanese regarding safety instructions and how to order drinks on the boat. I didn't quite understand everything and couldn't enjoy the different drinks as much as I would have liked. It was a bit disappointing, especially since the bartender was very friendly and accommodating.
初ハワイの娘達と折角の金曜だったので、海上から花火を見ようと言うことに。違う角度からダイヤモンド・ヘッドが見れたり、気持ち良い風に吹かれながらと思った以上に良かったです。ビュッフェスタイルの食事も思ったより美味しかった。お酒も色々ありそうでした。
ただ、船上での注意書き、お酒の頼み方などせめて日本語表示の張り紙でもあればよかった。よく分からなくて、色んなお酒を楽しめなかった。作ってくれるお兄ちゃんはとってもフランクで良かっただけに少し残念。

I love this star of hononlulu sunset cruises... their had a very good services... next time I still gonna go more
My overall experience aboard the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise ship was fantastic! I went with my 7-year old son and he had a blast as well. His favorite part of the evening was going up and down the stairs from one deck to another exploring. And my favorite part was... the view of the Hawaiian sun disappearing behind the endless horizon. :)
We chose the all-you-can-eat crab dinner, and it was literally “all-you-can-eat!” The spirit-of-aloha-filled staff member was cruising along the dining area asking who else would like some more crab legs until the guests could not say a "yes" any more. The quality of food and entertainment were superb.
It was my first cruise dinner, so I did not know what to expect. A funny jokes-filled driver picked us up in a luxury motorcoach bus and upon arrival to Aloha Tower, an elegant staff representative escorted us to the ship. The tables were set beautifully with an orchid in the middle of the dinner plate.
I would definitely recommend this experience both to tourists and to those who live in Hawaii!
I'm glad I choose to celebrate birth on the island 30 years ago with Star of Honolulu. Best birthday ever!!
Overall experience was fantastic. Felt like a condensed cruise trip. Need to make sure you don't eat the trip away because they keep bringing food and before you know it you are back to the dock. Good entertainment staff.
Since my husband and I have seen the fireworks on Friday many times, this time we decided to join a tour to watch them from a boat. There were a lot of people on board, so it didn't feel like a relaxed sunset viewing. There were many large foreign tourists, and around the time of departure, we felt a bit intimidated since we are not very good at English. We were able to see the fireworks, but since it was from a distance, they were smaller than we expected.
主人と金曜日の花火は何度も見ているので、今回は船の上から見ようとツアーに参加しました。
とても大勢の人が乗っていて、ゆったりサンセットを鑑賞する感じではありませんでした。
体の大きな外国人が多く、出航の頃は英語が苦手な私達は気後れしてしまいました。
花火は見られましたが、遠くからなので思ったより小さかったです。

It was a smaller ship compared to Star Cruises, but I think that was a good thing. The percentage of Japanese passengers was low, and everyone, including the staff, was friendly and it was enjoyable.
スタークルーズとは違う、こじんまりした船でしたが、それがよかったかなと思います。
日本人割合も少なく、スタッフの方も含め、みなフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

We were on our honeymoon and had a really great time. I would give it 4.5 stars but that wasn't an option so they got 5 because it was better than 4. Food was good and entertainment was excellent. Pictures and drinks were pricey but I guess that's expected.
Unfortunately our scheduled Friday night cruise was cancelled due to rough conditions. The staff were fantastic to reschedule a daytime cruise for us on Sunday since we were leaving the next Thursday. The boat crew were very friendly, informative, safe and competent. We managed to see some green sea turtles and view the island scenery from the water. We were able to capture some wonderful photos to remind us of our visit to Oahu.
I took my girlfriend on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise from Aloha Tower. She was new to Hawaii and was not sure what to expect. I appreciated the fact that they picked us up near the hotel we were staying. Upon arrival, we were guided to our casual dinner level, or deck. This was somewhat bothersome, just because there could have been more flow to it. Once we got on the ship, we were seated promptly. The tables were set and an orchid flower was placed in the middle of the dinner plate. (Very nice) Before long, we were off the dock and on to our adventure. The meal was buffet style, food was okay. While we dined, there was a single singer, who sang many of the songs associated with Hawaii and songs from movies about Hawaii. He was friendly and personable. After dinner, coffee and dessert was served on the outside deck. Shortly after, a smoking hot hula show began, where they explained the history of hula, as well as performed several numbers of Hawaiian music and dancing. While this was happening, a beautiful sunset was developing outside on the deck, and I was able to snap many quality sunset photos. We traveled parallel to the Waikiki hotel row, and went slightly past Diamond Head, before we turned back. It was an awesome experience and truly romantic. I have personally done the luau shows in and around Waikiki, and I always seem to gravitate back to the sunset dinner cruise. My belief is that I get the most value for my money on the sunset dinner cruise. I get a boat ride, a meal, a hula show and the beautiful sunset all for the price of one ticket. I will return.
After being asked to remove my shoes before going on board, I was not sure what to expect. However, it was a wonderful evening. The crew was very professional but friendly. Food was good as well. I think the number of passengers was perfect and was pleasantly surprised it was adults only. We have friends coming in April and have passed on the info so they can sign up for the Friday night sail.
I participated with a friend. I think this price is quite cheap considering it includes transportation, meals, and one drink. Most participants were from English-speaking countries, with only about 3 to 4 groups of Japanese. The explanations given on the ship after departure (such as the location of life jackets and the description of drink containers) were all in English. The meal was served buffet-style, and I think it's best to expect light snacks. The flavors were very delicious and seemed to appeal to Japanese tastes! It was the perfect time to relax, swaying with the waves while enjoying dinner and watching the sunset.
We cruised near Diamond Head until the fireworks started, but the waves were quite strong, which was a bit scary. (I recommend it for those who enjoy amusement park attractions like the "Viking" ride.) The wind was also quite strong, so it's essential to prepare for the cold. The fireworks can be seen beautifully from the front! After the fireworks ended, we headed back to the port, but I was a bit tired of the strong wind, so I was actually grateful for it (laughs). If I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again.
友人と参加しました。
送迎、食事、ワンドリンクが付いてこの価格はかなり安いと思います。
参加者はほぼ英語圏の方ばかりで、日本人は3～4組くらいでした。
出発後に行われた船内の説明(救命胴衣の場所や、ドリンクの容器の説明など)はすべて英語です。
食事はビュッフェ形式で、軽食程度だと思って参加した方が良いかと思います。
日本人受けしそうな味付けで、とても美味しかったです！
船内の思い思いの場所で、食事をしながらゆったり波に揺られて、夕日を眺める最高の時間でした。
花火開始まで、ダイアモンドヘッド近くをクルーズしていましたが、波が強すぎて少し怖いくらいでした。
(遊園地の『バイキング』的なアトラクションが好きな方にはオススメ)
風もかなり強いので、絶対に防寒対策は必要です。
花火も正面からとても綺麗に見れます！
花火終了後は、すぐに港に引き返しますが、強風に少しうんざりしていたので、むしろ有り難かったです(笑)
ハワイを訪れたら、また絶対に参加したいと思います。

Wonderful entertainment. Beautiful view of Waikiki. Nice food. Great night out with the family.
My daughter, grandkids and I had a great experience with Star of Honolulu. The show mesmerized my grandkids and the "conga line" gave party boat a new meaning. Would live to go this activity again.
Was lots of fun . staff was great entertainment was awesome boat was very clean. Food was great
This tour, which allows you to enjoy both the sunset and fireworks, was highly rated in reviews, so I signed up without hesitation! On the day of the tour, there were some thin clouds... I set sail hoping to see a beautiful sunset. There were few Japanese people on the boat, mostly foreigners, which made me really feel like I was abroad. If you're good at English, I encourage you to join this tour and share a fun time with people from various countries! By the way, I can't speak English, but I was able to interact with a few foreigners, and it was enjoyable.
I was worried about the sunset, and although there were some clouds, the view peeking through was also beautiful! There were people on yachts watching the sunset, and my favorite photo of the sunset was taken through the yacht. As the day gradually turned to night, everyone eagerly awaited the vibrant fireworks that lit up the dark sky, accompanied by cheers from the crowd. It was a short time, but it was definitely worth it! I can't believe I got to see the first fireworks of the year in Hawaii! The staff were kind, and I truly felt that joining this tour was a great decision!
If you're considering participating in the tour, I highly recommend it for a wonderful night out of the ordinary!
サンセットと花火鑑賞が出来ると言う二度美味しいこのツアー、口コミ評価も高かったので迷わず申し込み！
当日は薄っすらと雲が…綺麗なサンセットが見れますようにと思いを馳せながら出航。
船には日本の方は少なく殆どが外国の方ばかりで海外に来たな〜っと実感出来る時間でした。
英語が得意な方はこのツアーに参加して色んな国の方と交流して楽しい時間を分かち合って楽しいひと時を過ごして下さい♪
因みに私は英語は話せませんが何名かの外国の方と交流が出来て楽しかったです。
心配していたサンセットは若干雲がありましたが雲間からこぼれ出す景色もまたよかったです！
周りにはヨットからサンセットを眺めている人達も居てヨット越しに写したサンセットの写真が、私の１番のお気に入りです♪
段々と日が暮れ皆んながまだかと待ちわびていた真っ黒な空に色鮮やかな花火が皆んなの歓声と共に広がった。
短時間だったけど見応えはあった！
今年最初の花火をハワイで見れるとは♡
スタッフの方々も優しくてこのツアーに参加して本当によかったと思いました！
ツアー参加を検討している方も是非参加して非日常の素敵な夜を過ごして下さい☆

Lovely cruise to watch the fireworks. Crew were lovely. I think its a bit overpriced (US$50) as there aren't any drinks included. Also when the bar opened there was only 1 glass of white wine left! I've previously been on the sunset cruise and think it was better value.
The food was excellent the entertainment was great had a really great time the sunset was beautiful the picture they took...wow!!!! Would love to do this again
Very friendly. Freddy took good care of us. Ship needs some updating but a good time and great views of Honolulu.
We had a great time, excellent food, very friendly staff, awesome entertainment.
Beautiful cruise! Great food and the dancers were stunning! Highly recommended! Service was outstanding!!! We had a great time!!!
We had a spectacular time! Easy to book, easy to get on board, DELICIOUS crab and steak and ice cream ! Mai Tais are excellent! Gorgeous dancers and costumes! I loved the ukulele musician, he was wonderfully entertaining and kept everyone happy. He has a beautiful voice! Our pictures on the Star are unforgettable. This really made our last night in Hawaii memorable. Junior was our staff member and he was terrific. Thank you for the night of a lifetime!
We are family of 5, 5, 8 and 10 year old kids. We all loved it! Easy check in, quick boarding, friendly staff that was very accomodating. Would definitely do it again.
