This was a great evening activity for a Friday. The check-in process was super-simple, we even had extra time so we went to the small bar to the right of the check-in stand. Then we lined up and where able to board the vessel. I recommend shorts, as this is a barefoot cruise. I got a little wet but others weren't so fortunate. The cruise was a quite ride out, then down to Diamond Head and back near Magic Island to see the fireworks. Overall a great experience.

We booked this event last minute e.g. the afternoon before the event day and we're lucky that we got on. We enjoyed the trip. The food was ok perhaps average for the price of the event. 2 alcoholic baverages were included subsequent alcoholic drinks were 1$ (beer, wine) or 2$ (cocktails, mixed drinks) which is very cheap. So a good deal for people who can drink a lot. The crew was friendly, helpful and knowledgable.

We were a family of 8 people that included 4 young adult children looking for a fireworks cruise that included dinner and found this cruise on this website that was very well priced.
The fireworks are on at the Hilton Hawaiian Village every Friday night and the Hilton put on a fireworks cruise at a more expensive price but I wasn't sure if we would like the food so decided to go for this cruise that included BBQ buffet dinner at Shore Bird restaurant in the Outrigger hotel. We met the Holokai catamaran on the beach directly out front of the Shore Bird restaurant. The crew were friendly and we were able to purchase our drinks on board and got to keep our cocktail shaker that we bought our drinks in, nice souvenir! We sailed out to position in front of the Hilton Hotel Rainbow tower.
Such a lovely tour to do whether you are a small or large group and then return to the beach to make your way to a BBQ of fish,chicken or steak and help yourself to the all you can eat salad buffet followed by desert.
We had the steak and fish for dinner and we're happy with our meals, I especially liked their potato salad int the salad buffet as well.
The restaurant overlooks the beach and they also have karaoke. I would highly recommend this cruise as it is well priced and it gives you the option of dinner or no dinner if you would prefer to eat elsewhere.

The sunset dinner experience was extraordinary. The food was exquisite and our waitress was amazing. Keilani made us feel at home and made sure our experience was superb. In addition, the assistant manager Crystal Tagudin stopped by our table and chat with us for a while to make sure that our expectations were met. I absolutely loved it and look forward to going back next time I'm in Hawaii. Thank you Star of Honolulu staff!!!

The actual activity was great. The boat was new, and the staff was friendly. I docked one star only because VELTRA had the wrong time listed on their website and confirmation. They said we were loading at 6:30PM but the actual loading time was 7:15PM, the booking site had it wrong. Other than that it was a great experience.

It was definitely something I would do again and I did! Except the next time I did the sunset cruise. The fireworks were spectacular from the boat and was worth it.

I was swept away by the sunset, full moon, dancers, mai tis, whale watching and our MC for the evening. Because I was traveling solo I was the center of focus majority of the evening :) (I didn't mind) The level of participation and energy from everyone in the room was mind blowing. Can not wait to return, but with a significant other.

When our original fireworks sail was canceled, we were told this sail would be comparable. However, when the confirmation was sent it clearly stated we would not see the fireworks regularly scheduled on Friday evenings since we would be ashore before the fireworks began. We were devastated. BUT... much to our surprise and NOT mentioned on line or the confirmation/voucher documents, we sailed amidst the local sailboat club's Friday sunset "race". It was absolutely breathtaking to sail with several other boats in the sunset. The crew make some awesome Maitai's too! Enjoy!!!

Waikiki was the destination of our honeymoon and a Fireworks Cocktail Cruise sounded perfect! I didn't anticipate how DARK it would be when arriving to the boat. It should have been obvious...but I didn't think about it. It was cumbersome to board the boat due to the tide and needing to board from another area a catamaran had left from. This meant we had to walk over a concrete divide that had been slightly eroded to access the ship. Was a little tricky.
The staff for the event was great. Full of energy and kept everyone informed of what was happening. The boat was full of happy tourists ready to party. Drinks flowed quickly and if you were adept enough to weave through the crowd in bobbing waves--there was not problem in accessing beverages. Since it was super dark, it was hard to see how to get around the boat. We unfortunately sat by the toilet on deck which was hysterical. It basically was a clear plastic top that opened and you climbed down stairs that felt like a propped up ladder. Inside it was really tight to move (duh, it's a catamaran). My husband said he didn't know how women would actually use it if they needed to sit. Best of all was---since it was so dark, the only light you could see was from the toilet; and if you were down there...EVERYONE could look down and see you. It was one of my favorite take-aways from the experience.
Overall the cruise was fun, staff was great, and drinks were solid. Hard part is having only a few minutes of fireworks...and then floating around in the dark with a boombox and sitting next to the bathroom.
If I was to book a cocktail cruise again...I'd choose the happy hour to enjoy the sunset.

We had a great experience on this dinner cruise. The entertainment was outstanding and the firework show was just the icing on top. The waitress and staff went beyond expectations to make sure we were having a great time. The food was good but I wish they would give an option for the lobster. I do not care for lobster and therefore did not eat it. I just wish the steak would have been a larger portion since we did not eat the lobster. Other than that, excellent time!

I have lived in Hawaii since 1985. My niece from Indiana visited for a week. I took her on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise, having never been on it myself. I didn't know what to expect. It was awesome! We both loved it. The pre-boarding hula & Hawaiian music, the on-board entertainment, the food, the views and the friendly staff were all very enjoyable. When other friends and family come to visit, I will be sure to take them. It was the highlight of my niece's visit!

Love, love, loved the dinner cruise. This was our first time in Hawaii and I must say I am happy that we chose this as one of the activities to attend to. From the very beginning when we got picked up from the hotel, welcoming at the cruise ship, dinner, entertainment and fireworks, this is definitely a night that will be forever cherished. The staff was amazingly helpful and attentive especially our table server Rosey, she constantly made sure we had enough crab (purchased steak and all you can eat crab meal) and glasses were filled with drinks. Just AWESOME!!! The music and performers were great as well. At the end of the night we watched fireworks out on the deck. Overall my husband and I had a most memorable evening and recommend if you have not already done so this is one of the a Hawaii activities you don't want to miss!!!

Amazing time, fun atmosphere! We went as a family of 4 adults a 7yr old & 1yr old. I wasn't too sure if it would be children friendly but it was. Well worth the money. It was a great start to our vacation. The Maitais were great but be careful they creep up on you. The captain & bartender were amazing and attentive. Just bring a light coat because it is at night and of course with the wind it could get chilly but good thing I read a review and went prepared. Loved it!!!

This was the worst dinner cruise I've ever experienced. It felt more like a fishing boat. It was rocky for families with children, and the dinner was terrible... I regret not choosing something like Five Star. Next time, I will join a cruise on a larger ship.
今までで、ディナークルーズとしては、最悪でした。釣りに行く船やないですか。子供連れには、揺れるし、ディナーは、まずいし...
