Oahu
We had a great experience. Joshua communicated well. We needed to make a last minute venue change, due to the weather. Everything worked out perfectly!
We went by rental car from Waikiki. The riding time was just right, not too long and not too short. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but they show a simple Japanese video explanation. The horses are very smart, so there are no worries or problems at all. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery was magnificent and beautiful.
ワイキキからはレンタカーで行きました。
乗馬時間も長過ぎず短すぎず丁度いい時間でした。
スタッフは日本語喋れませんが、簡単な日本語ビデオの説明を見せてくれます。
お馬さんがとても賢いので何の心配も問題もありません。
天気にも恵まれ、とにかく景色が雄大で美しかったです。
There are no coin lockers, so pack only the essentials! If you hang your smartphone around your neck, you can take photos and videos with peace of mind.
コインロッカーがないので荷物は必要最低限で!
スマホは首から下げるようにすると写真や動画が安心して撮れます。
Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.
If bus pick up is near where you are staying I would say it is worth the money.
Joshua was great at setting up everything and communicating. The charcuterie plate was good too. We had a lot of fun during the photoshoot. I only wish we had access to all the photos taken (we only received a selection of them).
Really wonderful to upgrade to this awesome dinner schedule
Sunset views from the deck were absolutely stunning, and the buffet had a great variety of delish foods!
Overall a fun night out with great food, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable show.
Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff
My companion boarded for the first time. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the weather, but the live music, food, and the night view of Waikiki were wonderful and felt extraordinary. There were also many newlyweds on board. There was a photo service (limited to Japanese customers?), and we received our pictures in a nice frame. I think it will be a great keepsake.
同伴者が初の乗船。生憎の天候でサンセットは見られてませんでしたが、生演奏や食事、夜景のワイキキなどの非日常が良かったです。新婚旅行の方も大勢おりました。写真もサービス(日本人限定?)があり、台紙に入れて貰えました。良い記念になると思います。
Once you head offshore, the boat tends to sway quite a bit, so if you are prone to seasickness, it would be wise to take some motion sickness medication in advance.
沖合に出ると割とゆらゆら揺れますので、船酔いされる方は酔い止めを予め飲んでおいた方が無難かと思います。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu as a couple. We are very pleased that you both enjoyed the five-star cruise. It is an honor for all of our staff to have been able to help create wonderful memories for you in Hawaii. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイブスターでのクルーズをお二人で満足して頂き大変嬉しく思っております。そして、ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
We have been to Hawaii several times and I kind of wanted to do a luau again, but also love getting on the water… This cruise is both… Quite a good deal! Also always fun!
I would recommend doing this dinner cruise, one of your first nights in Hawaii.
The one-hour course was just enough. All the staff were very nice, and we had a great time. The scenery was also amazing! My 10-year-old son was very satisfied as well.
1時間コースで十分でした。
スタッフもみんな感じがよくとても楽しめました。
景色も最高でした!
10歳の息子もとても満足していました。
Riding a gentle horse and strolling along the beach created the best memories. At first, I was anxious, but they carefully taught me the tips for riding.
優しい馬に乗り、海辺を散策できて、最高の思い出になりました。
最初は不安でしたが、乗り方のコツも丁寧に教えてくれます。
Even small children can enjoy it.
小さいお子さんでも楽しめます。
The food was good and plentiful the entertainment was awesome
Room was a bit chilly
We were so disappointed with our Sunset Dinner Cruise this week.
Why oh why, when a company has it just right, do they get greedy and take away the finesse?
Having taken the steak & lobster package last year, we were so looking forward to repeating the experience - but it failed to live up to expectations.
The singer couldn't sing; we had to queue for our starter (only lettuce plated at the table; the lobster was not prepared, we were provided with lobster crackers and a pick (not what we were expecting, dressed in our best clothes); there was no finger bowl or wet wipe; our steaks were cold and the server came so infrequently we did not get to use two of our drinks vouchers.
Shame on you.
Retire the piano player (or ask him NOT to sing)
Bring back the 'prepared' lobster
Accessing the location was a bit challenging from Waikiki by rental car, but the horseback riding time was very long, and I was satisfied! The scenery was magnificent and beautiful. The horses were very smart, and the staff was kind. At the end, you can feed the horses a little. I gave a tip at that time!
アクセスはワイキキからはレンタカーで少し大変でしたが、乗馬時間はとても長い時間あるし、満足出来ました!とにかく景色が雄大で美しいです。馬たちはとても賢く、スタッフも親切でした。最後に馬に餌を少しあげられます。その時にチップを渡しました!
Attaching a strap to my smartphone and hanging it around my neck gave me peace of mind, allowing me to take photos and videos comfortably.
スマホにストラップをつけて首から下げると安心して、写真や動画が撮れました。
It was a short course starting from 530. Overall, the portions were generous, and even with just three dishes, I was full and had to take half of the main meat home. All the dishes were lightly seasoned, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through. The meat was supposed to be Waimea beef, but I was informed in advance that it wouldn't be available, so it was US beef instead. I would like to create another opportunity to try Waimea beef. The staff were pleasant, and the entire space, including the restaurant and restrooms, had a cohesive and natural feel, creating a stylish atmosphere.
530からのショートコースでした。
全体的に量がたっぷりで、3品でも、お腹が一杯で、メインのお肉は半分持ち帰りました。
全ての料理は味付けがやさしく、材料そのもののお味が楽しめました。お肉はワイメア牛のはずでしたが、事前に用意できないと、連絡があり、US牛でした。又機会をつくって、ワイメア牛をたべてみたいと思いました。スタッフは感じがよく、店内、トイレにいたるところまで、統一感のある自然なかんじ、おしゃれ空間でした。
Since the portions are generous, you should go with an empty stomach.
ボリュームありなので、お腹を空かせていくべき
I applied to participate on-site, but I didn't realize the distance, and it took quite a while to get there by taxi. The horse riding itself was a lot of fun, and there were even sharks on the beach, which made it quite exciting.
現地参加で応募しましたが、距離感分かっておらず現地到着までにタクシーで相当かかりました。馬自体はとても楽しく、浜辺にサメがいたりして結構もりあがりました。
The Polynesian show was super entertaining feeling very luau esque! Also sailing along the Waikiki coastline at sunset was beautiful, and the Friday night fireworks were the perfect finale!
I was able to take a wonderful walk along the beach this morning on a very calm and intelligent horse! The height of the view was also fantastic.
とってもおだやかで賢い馬に乗って
朝からとってもいい気持ちで浜辺を散歩できました!
目線の高さも最高です
There is nothing around! You can't enter the beach on your own. It was completely a private beach.
周りには何もないです!
ビーチの方には勝手に入れません
完全にプライベートビーチでした
We were able to enjoy a discounted price for a limited time. The appetizers, main courses, and desserts were all dishes that clearly showed careful preparation. Each item had a moderate portion size and was delicious.
開始時間限定で割安にいただけました。
前菜、メイン、デザート、どれも丁寧に手をかけて調理されているのが感じられる料理でした。適度なボリュームでどの品も美味しかったです。
If you go a little earlier and wait in line, you will be guided to a good seat.
時間少し前に行き順番待ちすると良い席に案内して頂けますよ。
This is a very fun even to do while in Hawaii. Staff was excellent!
The steak filet was extremely raw and the music must be updated!! Change performers!
The Friday add on of the fireworks at the end made the night extra special. Service was friendly and attentive, and the sunset views over Waikiki were stunning.
The Polynesian show was very entertaining, with skilled dancers. The boat service team was attentive, and the atmosphere was festive without feeling crowded. A fun and memorable way to enjoy a Hawaiian evening.
The sunset views from the deck were stunning, and the buffet offered a wide variety of tasty dishes.
The staff were the best members, not only beautiful but also very friendly and considerate!
The sunset was beautiful, and they took plenty of time for horseback riding! It was the best moment!
最高のメンバーで、スタッフの人も、美男美女だけでなく、とてもノリのいい気遣いのできる方たちばかりでした!
夕日も綺麗で、乗馬時間もとても、たっぷり撮ってくれました!
最高のひとときでした!
We used this for our honeymoon trip as a couple. We opted for a plan that included round-trip transportation to the hotel for an additional fee. While it was a bit pricey, the service and experience exceeded our expectations.
The server assigned to us was cheerful and very attentive. We also purchased additional photos, which became great memories.
If you're looking to enjoy the lively atmosphere of Hawaii, this might not be the right fit for you. However, I think watching the sunset while listening to jazz in a calm setting is a unique experience that’s hard to come by.
There were about 10% Japanese guests, and while the menu had some items in Japanese, all orders and communication were in English. The introductions of the musicians and the engaging talks were also all in English, so having some understanding of the language would make it more enjoyable.
夫婦の新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
追加料金でホテルまで往復送迎していただくプランに。
やはり金額的にはいいお値段でしたが、期待以上の対応と内容でした。
担当のサーバーの方は陽気ですごく気が利く方でした。
写真も追加購入し、いい思い出となりました。
ハワイの陽気な雰囲気を楽しみたい方は合わないと思いますが、落ち着いた雰囲気でジャズを聞きながらサンセットを見るのはなかなか出来ない経験だと思います。
日本人は約1割いるかどうか、メニューは日本語も記載ありましたが注文やコミュニケーションは全て英語。
ミュージシャンの紹介や、盛り上げるトークも全て英語なので多少理解出来ると面白いと思います。
If you dislike a lively atmosphere, definitely consider a 5-star option. The basic alcohol is quite strong.
It's essential to bring something light to wear.
賑やかな雰囲気が嫌な方は是非5スターに
基本アルコールはきつめです。
薄手でもいいので羽織れる物は持参がマストです。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are truly delighted that you were overall satisfied with the Nova Five Star cruise during your honeymoon in Hawaii. We also appreciate the beautiful sunset photos you shared. It must have created wonderful memories in Hawaii that you will never forget. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。そして、ハワイでの新婚旅行でのノバファイブスターのクルーズを全体的に満足して頂き大変嬉しく思っております。素敵なサンセットのお写真も有難うございました。一生忘れられないハワイでの素敵な思い出となったことでしょう。次回もまたハワイでお待ちしております。
Even if the weather wasn't really great during our experience, we still had a great time chilling in the boat watching the view, snorkeling and had dinner and drinks. It was a really good value for the price since the dinner and alcoholic beverage were also included. The crew was really great too and we spent time talking to them as well. Captain Don, Trent and Jacob were really fun and helpful throughout the experience. Even if we didn't see the sunset because of the weather, it was still great because we saw a humpback whale swimming next to us.
On the day, it rained, and we rode on somewhat muddy mountain paths. The sun peeked out, and the view from the mountain top was great, which was very soothing. The horse I rode was smart, so it didn't act up, and it was a leisurely ride.
当日は、雨が降り、ややぬかるんだ山道も乗馬
晴れ間も出て、山の頂上からの眺めは良くて、癒されました
乗馬した馬は、頭が良いので、暴れることもなく、のんびりとした乗馬でした
It might be good to have a hat with a brim or a poncho, as it can suddenly rain.
急に雨が降ることがあるので、つばのある防止やポンチョがあるといいかも
The pick up from he hotel was seamless and boarding the cruise ship was quick. Table service was slow but the food was excellent. The sunset and following fireworks was a great experience and I would recommend this adventure
The sunset was also atmospheric, and the performances, music, and food were delicious. You can also see fireworks before returning to port. I recommend it for newlyweds and couples.
サンセットもムードありますし、演奏や音楽、食事も美味しかったです。帰港前には花火も見られます。新婚さんやカップルにはおすすめです。
The boat sways more than I expected, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to take some anti-nausea medication in advance.
思ったよりゆらゆらと船が揺れるので、乗り物酔いする方は、事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いです。
Thank you very much for visiting our Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are honored that you enjoyed the dining and entertainment at Nova Five Star, as well as the sunset and fireworks in Hawaii. We are delighted to have been able to help create wonderful memories for you. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
