We had an amazing time on this fireworks tour. It was a great experience and we even got to see some whales unexpectedly which made the whole thing even better. The crew members Annie and Mark were really nice and made it a memorable time for everyone. They were engaging with the guests on the boat and checked in on us throughout the trip. Definitely worth it if you’re in Hawaii and want something fun to do.

We have been to Hawaii several times and this was the first time we took the fireworks catamaran sail and it did not disappoint. The crew was FANTASTIC, drinks were great, music was fantastic, and seeing the fireworks and the Waikiki shoreline at night is beautiful. We had so much fun and would do it again!

The fireworks viewing was wonderful, but it was disappointing that the catamaran was mostly docked and not cruising. It was also disappointing that the crew was mostly talking with acquaintances.
花火鑑賞は、素晴らしかったですが、

I seriously cannot even get started on how much fun this was.
We booked this for part of our friends bachelor & bachelorette weekend in Waikiki and I'm so glad we did.
The location was easy enough to find and right away the staff was super friendly. We bought the $40 unlimited drink cups and WOW were we all drunk by the end. The DJ was awesome and played so much fun music, Tiana was amazing, she was so sweet to talk to and gave our friends a shout out which made the night feel even more special. All the drinks were delicious and well made.
The amount of people on board was pretty perfect, not so many people that it was over whelming but enough to still make it feel like a party! The only thing that would have made this better would be the option to stay on for a bit longer.
I would HIGHLY recommend doing this and if I ever find myself in Waikiki again I will be sure to book.
We went on Feb 28th 2024

I am in Honolulu a lot on business so when I stay I love to unwind on the weekend with a “booze cruise”. Other places at this price point are usually BYOB or cash bar, and some places have open bars but they’re way more expensive. This one is the best price AND has an open bar? Sign me up! Will definitely go again next time I am in the area.

I wasn’t totally sold on this tour since clubbing/partying and loud music isn’t usually my scene. But I do love fireworks, and sailing, so I figured why not, it’s only one hour…and I’m so glad I did! The music was kinda loud, but the vibe was so chill and laid-back that it didn’t feel overwhelming at all. I guess that’s what Hawaii is all about! Everyone was so friendly, I had no problem talking to anyone and enjoying the fireworks. And the cocktail (I only had one, haha) was tasty too! If you are on the fence about this tour, I say just take it!

Me and my friends had so much fun on this tour, we can’t wait to go again. We loved watching the fireworks, and the crew was soooo much fun (shoutout to Dustin!) The cruise was only one hour which is NOT long enough to get totally wasted at the open bar lol, which actually turned out to be a good thing because we ended up chilling in Kaka’ako afterwards. So an awesome pregame lol. Very highly recommend this tour!

We are meeting at 6:30, so I plan to enjoy the sunset before heading to the meeting point. After confirming the members who made the reservation, we will be guided to the yacht (sandals are the best choice). Once on board, the excitement builds. After a safety briefing, drinks will start. It seems you can drink as much as you want, so don't hold back. The atmosphere gets even more lively when the fireworks begin. There is no meal provided, so it's advisable to consider a restaurant for after disembarking.
18;30に集合との事で、その前にサンセット堪能してから集合地点に向かう。
予約したメンバー確認後は、ヨットまで引率してもらう。(サンダルがベスト)
乗船後はテンション上がる。セーフティ関連の説明後にドリンクスタート。ここは何杯でも飲めるようなので遠慮せずに飲むべし。花火が始まると一層盛り上がる。
食事はないので、下船後のレストランは事前に考慮すべし。

There are many fireworks tours to choose from, and I was unsure, but it was the right choice! We gathered at the Outrigger, which was easy to find. There was a bit of wind, but the night sailing was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks, the full moon, and the night view of Hawaii. Thank you very much! ♪
花火ツアーはいくつもあって、悩みましたが、正解!です。アウトリガーに集合で、わかりやすく、ちょっと風はありましたが、夜のセーリング最高でした!花火に満月にハワイの夜景を満喫できました。ありがとうございました♪

What an amazing time! We got picked up a minute away from our hotel and the bus driver even shared some Oahu history during the ride! We opted for the five star dinner and it was incredible. We felt like VIPs! Incredible food, the BEST steak I have ever had and delicious champagne. Live Jazz music on our deck and stunning views. Definitely going to do it again next time we visit! I recommend bringing a jacket as it can get pretty windy on the outside deck and indoors is air-conditioned.

The crew was nice. The cost was to include 3 Mai Tais. Whatever they served us was not Mai Tais. They didn’t look or taste like Mai Tais, no juices or dark rum.
We had fun but they need to improve the drinks and actually provide Mai Tais not something they concocted with white rum
And ginger ale. What we got was not what we paid for.

Hello everybody,
Let me share our experience (honeymooners) on the 5 Stars Course of that Dinner Cruise with you.
In terms of hospitality, starting from the pick-up crew, to the captains and waitress (many thanks to lovely Jordan), it was just great.
We had an super easy pick up with a bus, where everyone received a sticker depending on the course they’ve booked and then took around 15-30 minutes to get the harbor.
Everyone had a warm welcome with local dance and music in front of the boat while boarding. Once we have taken our seats, we were welcomed with nice champagne and some cheese and ham plate with crackers.
In terms of the food in that day, it was simply amazing and tasty. ESPECIALLY the served meat. Whoever cooked that: genius!
Anyhow, besides food and drinks we got the chance to explore the boat between the food breaks. We had an amazing view on Waikiki/Diamond Head/other boats, even though it was cloudy. It was still very enjoyable. And also we had the great luck to see whales! That was the cherry on top.
Well, besides all of that going on, we had live entertainment (pianist, some Saxophon and some singer - all just awesome). They’ll also take a picture of you, so for 30$ you can purchase them.
In the end, everyone with some special occasion was asked to dance in the middle of the room, which was pretty romantic.
Overall, it was really worth it.
Minus points for:
- photo only available as data file for another 20$ (why?!)
- pretty chilly inside the boat (but guess this depends on the season)
Overall, just great! Would love to board once more in the future.
Thanks everyone!

This activity is so much fun! Round trip it took about 2 hours from getting on to getting off the boat, so it's perfect if you're looking for a quick boat ride while in Waikiki. The fireworks show were great and the perfect start or ending to a Friday night. The crew we had was amazing - very quick bar service, very stiff drinks, and they were the most helpful and fun! You can tell I was having a good time by the attached photo lol. FYI you will get a bit wet if you choose to sit on the catamaran's net seating at the front, but the boat is very comfortable and everyone had a good view from anywhere they were seated while the fireworks were going on. Also FYI they don't let the sails down during this night boat trip. Definitely recommend for just an easygoing and cool experience.

This time, since it was my first visit to Hawaii in a while, I booked a dinner cruise for the last day. We were guided to the fourth floor, which featured a gorgeous space and a spacious deck. You can immediately tell it’s a special setting. The sunset view across the sea from the window, combined with the magical beauty of the sunset, creates the perfect location. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but everything was delicious with delicate seasoning. By the time we reached the main course, I was usually quite full, and even if they served a steak with an overly marbled texture at that point, I could only manage a bite. However, the steak had a good balance of texture, which I personally rated highly. There was piano music, saxophone, and live jazz singing, creating an extraordinary atmosphere that matched the dress code. The captain greeted each guest, and the staff's attentive service was refined. Since I participated with my spouse, I imagined how wonderful it would be to spend this special time with all our children as well. I definitely want to participate again. T.K
I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first sunset cruise on the Honolulu. Perhaps because it was a weekday, all the middle seats were empty, and we were seated by the window with a view. The atmosphere was very nice, and the guests, wearing bright red dresses, added a touch of elegance to the space. The course meal included an appetizer of assorted cheeses, a salad (with lobster), a sorbet in between, thick-cut roast beef with truffle mashed potatoes, cheesecake, and coffee. Everything was truly delicious, and I could really feel the quality of 5A. With live performances, it was a dinner cruise that left me completely satisfied. S.K
今回は久しぶりのハワイという事で、最終日にディナークルーズを予約。
4階部分に案内され、ゴージャスな空間と、広めのデッキ。
特別な空間とすぐにわかります。
窓から見れる海を挟んでの夕景は、日の入り時の幻想的な美しさと合わさって、最高のロケーションに。
食事はあまり期待していませんでしたが、繊細さを持つ味付けでどれも美味しい。
メイン料理に辿り着く頃、大抵満腹近くなり、そのタイミングで霜降り過ぎる肉質のステーキなど出されても到底一口しか食べれないが、バランスの良い肉質のステーキで、個人的には◎。
ピアノ演奏、サックス、ジャスの生歌があり、ドレスコードに合った演出に、非日常感があります。
キャプテンが一人一人に挨拶され、スタッフの方の丁寧なもてなしも洗練されたものがあります。
今回夫婦で参加したため、子供たちもみんな連れてこの特別な時間を過ごせたらと想像した程素晴らしい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
是非また参加したいです。
T.K
サンセットクルーズは何度か参加しましたが、
ホノルル号でのサンセットクルーズははじめてでした。
平日という事もあってか、真ん中の席は全て空いていて、景色が見える窓際に案内されました。
雰囲気もとても良く、来てるお客さまも真っ赤なドレスなど一流の雰囲気を醸し出され、空間に華を添えています。
コース料理も前菜チーズ盛合わせ、サラダ(ロブスター付き)、一度シャーベットを挟み、
厚切りローストビーフにトリュフ入りマッシュポテト、チーズケーキとコーヒーでした。
どれも本当に美味しくて流石5Aだなと感じました。
生演奏ライブもあって大満足のディナークルーズでした。

The event began on time with a glass of champagne. I must admit that the food was better than expected. The staff waited to serve each course until we were at the table, as we often went out to take air between courses and take pictures.

Nova Five Star package should be renamed to, 'Ten Star.' The reason being this package was over the top elegant, professional, and accommodating. Each table had their own charcuterie board, which was perfect snack to get the evening started.
The meal was served in an order that was so unique. I had never had sorbet in the middle of a meal, and I'm still dreaming of the texture and flavor. The presentation/ quality of food was very impressive. Each course amazed me more and more!
The music throughout the meal was so relaxing, and set the mood for a delightful evening. If you are looking for an intimate evening with your loved one, this is the package for you!
Mahalo to SOH for going the extra mile to create a magical space!

We did the dinner cruise with the Nova Five Star on the 4th deck of the boat and it was a treat and we really had a great time. Their table set up at the Super Nova Room was so beautiful, clean, so organized, and elegant! We had our own private table seating next to the window and we enjoyed the night view even without having to explore the boat.
We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dinner. The steak was exceptionally tender, and the fresh fruit sorbet was our favorite. The servers provided excellent service as well, and the entertainment complemented the rainy weather, creating a more relaxing atmosphere.
Anyone looking for a romantic celebration on Valentine's Day, Anniversary, or any special occasion, the NOVA Five Star aboard the Star of Honolulu is an ideal choice.
For those seeking for a smaller crowd and more privacy, I would recommend booking the Nova Five Star cruise on Thursdays as it is not as busy as on the weekends.

The food and atmosphere were great. I chose the 5-star option to watch the Hilton fireworks from the deck on Friday, but people from the lower floor started removing the chain from the stairs and crowded onto the deck before the fireworks started. After quite some time, the staff began to check if people were 5-star guests, but I thought it was too late.
お料理も雰囲気も良かったです。金曜日でデッキからヒルトンの花火を見るために5スターにしたのですが、花火の時間前から下のフロアーの人が、階段のチェーンを外しデッキに入ってくて混雑。
だいぶ経ってからスタッフが5スターかどうか確認を始めましたが遅いかと思います。

Sadly due to traffic I missed the boat by a minute I had checked how long it would take to get there when planning my leave time and I was quoted 45 every time when I was staying only 25 miles away however traffic was crazy and it ended up being an hour and a half drive we pulled into parking at exactly 1745 and the boat was pulling out as I was running to it. Gave a rating of Good because the boat left exactly on time and if I had been on board that would have been great
