I made a reservation for 33 people for Christmas. Since there were so many of us, we considered chartering a boat, but having a DJ definitely made it more exciting! The food was allowed to be brought in, and there were Japanese staff members who were very accommodating. I'm glad we chose the DJ cruise! Please be careful as you can't bring in soft drinks.
クリスマスに33人で予約しました。人数が多かったのでチャーター船にしようか迷いましたが、やっぱりDJが居た方が盛り上がりました!

On 12/19/23 I went on Star of Honolulu, and participated in the Pacific Star Buffet Package. Finding the boat was easy due to it's large size. Walking up we were greeted by real hula dancers, that really set the vibe for the evening. Upon boarding the ship there was staff along the way that assisted in finding your section.
The ship is very large in size, and was so much fun to explore. The top deck was my favorite part, but definitely bring a sweater it can get a bit chilly! I recommend visiting the top deck as the sun is setting for your perfect kodak moment on the water, and once again when it gets' dark to see the beautiful city lights, and view of Diamond Head Crater.
The severs were very studious, and genuine when checking on our table. The buffet line went very quickly, hardly a wait at all! The food was delicious, with many options for all dietary needs. Being mainly plant based I was impressed by all the plant based sides, my favorite was the tofu salad! They even have a vegan patty upon request.
The show, and production was very engaging for the whole family. If you are traveling with a large group including children, I recommend the Pacific Star package there is something for everyone!

The fireworks on Friday were amazing. I stayed at the Hilton, but I got a bit lost finding the meeting place, which turned into a bit of an adventure, but that was fun too!
金曜日の花火は、最高でした。

Personnel were wonderful. Great energy for having a fun time. The view of the city at night is spectacular as was the sunset. The food was okay. It is difficult to plate for the number of passengers and have it delivered hot in a timely manner. This was better than some experiences but not the best, which happened in Europe. Overall, it was a fun evening in a beautiful city.

We had a party of 6 so did private charter. Only way to do the fireworks.
Boat was perfect and the crew was fantastic. Very timely and thoughtful. Right before dusk, captain saw a whale surface and we got to see it and the flute. Appreciated him catching it.
We got lucky and they texted day of to see if we wanted to go out early for the sunset. Got message late and they still made it work. Only a minimal extra charge.
Whale, sunset and fireworks. Doesn’t get any better. Highly recommend this tour.

We had a sunset cruising experience for our family of four, and we were blessed with great weather, allowing us to have the best time. The food was delicious, and after enjoying the beautiful sunset, we watched the fireworks from Hilton Village, accompanied by live jazz music. Everything was perfect. We truly made wonderful memories.

My wife and I enjoyed the sunset cruise. Although it was an issue or two, they should try to be resolved the last time I took the cruise. I was able to be out on the outside on the deck at the sunset. Got to take some amazing pictures . This time we are in line for the buffet when is sunset. I think the time should be adjusted if the time is earlier when the sun sets. The whole purpose of a sunset cruise is to be able to watch the sunset and not be called to the buffet table to get your meal. My wife really enjoyed the Buffay food. She said it was very good as a picky eater. She ate a little bit of everything and enjoyed it.
I will verify the timing of other cruises before I would take the cruise again as the whole purpose was to be able to watch the sun set

Pick-up was perfect, complimentary Mai Tai was lovely, but the sunset was hard to savour in the middle of queuing, collecting food and eating! The food was okay.
We chose the trip for the sunset and traditional dancing, but the dancing was evidently lovely BUT hard to see as the girls were not raised up and one needed to look round other people and tables.
We had a nice wander to the top of the boat which was great! BUT the ‘entertainment’ was done by a guitarist who couldn’t sing above a certain pitch and girls who followed his very out of tune singing. I suppose the other passengers got up and took part, as they felt that was expected but we found that part excruciating!
Overall not worth the money.

Went on a Friday, the boat was crowded and the seating was shoulder to shoulder. I could not really see the show from where I was seated I just had to listen to it and get a glimpse whenever I could. The fireworks were nice but EVERYONE on the boat was trying to see them so you have to get out of your seat early to get a good spot to see.

The ride on the catamaran at mild temperatures with nice people and free soft drinks was very romantic. The price-performance ratio is right.
However, a certain degree of mobility is required to get on and off the boat.
Unfortunately the music is too loud. You have to like that.

Ruined by 3 drinking moms. There was an announcement to refrain from standing on the benches. 3 drinking moms stood as soon as the fireworks started and blocked our view. None of the crew reminded them to sit so others could enjoy the fireworks. The fireworks were not very high as they are for other shows I have been to. The captain could have turned the boat so they were not in the front towards the fireworks and give others a chance to see. The crew was nice, played music, and appeared to want everyone to have a good time.

Overall an enjoyable sunset cruise but a bit rushed boarding the boat. We were served and eating our meal while the boat was still in dock. Our meal was the first out and surrounding tables took a while before theirs came out. Our crab leg shells were soft and impossible to crack open. Otherwise the food was enjoyable. Entertainment was fun and lively. I would recommend this experience.

Great cruise, all staff, especially our service assistant, were extremely pleasant, professional, and efficient. A very good buffet with carved roast beef, delicious chicken and fish, everything. Fireworks show a bit difficult. In order to see it well people had to run to one side of the ship, not only tilting the ship a bit but making it even more difficult for people who didn't want to dash to the side to see. This was only a minor observation.

When boarding, it's better to wear sandals and shorts as your feet might get a little wet. There’s no roof, so you can enjoy the open air, and the ride is a bit wild with loud music playing, allowing you to fully experience a sense of adventure. When the fireworks are going off, there are no lights or sound inside the boat, but for a short time, you can enjoy the fireworks from the deck. You might want to bring a small towel, as your feet will get wet and sandy when disembarking.
乗船の際に少し足が濡れるので、サンダルでショートパンツで行った方が良いです。
屋根が無いので開放感があり、運転も少しワイルドで、音楽もガンガンかかってて、非日常感を十分味わえると思います。
花火が打ちあがっている時は船内の照明や音響もなく、短い時間ではありますが船上の花火を楽しめました。
下船時に足が濡れて砂まみれになるので、小さいタオルなど持参した方が良いかもしれません。
