All Reviews for Romantic Things to Do in Oahu

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!

The local papaya appetizer with Italian prosciutto and creamy burrata cheese paired perfectly with Hawaiian honey and balsamic vinaigrette. I thought I would try to replicate it at home.
The main dish, the wood-fired steak, was tender and juicy. The local vegetables topped with red wine sauce had a natural sweetness and were very delicious.
The dessert, purple sweet potato Mont Blanc with cashew nut vanilla ice cream and macadamia nuts, was also a perfect combination.
I told the staff, "I'll come back again next year," as I left.

前菜のローカルパパイヤとイタリア産生ハム、クリーミーブラータチーズはハワイ産蜂蜜とバルサミコビネグレットとの相性が抜群でした。家でも真似してみようと思いました。
メインの薪焼きしたステーキも柔らかくてジューシー。赤ワインソースをかけたローカル野菜も野菜本来の甘みがあり、とても美味しかったです。
デザートの紫芋のモンブランとカシューナッツバニラアイス、マカデミアンナッツの相性も抜群でした。
お店の方に「来年もまたきますね」と伝えて帰りました。

The food was amazing.
It was a simple menu with an appetizer, main course, and dessert, but I was very full.
The portion of the main course was incredible!
The Waimea beef is close to Wagyu. It was cooked over wood fire, and it had a wonderful aroma.
When I mentioned it was a birthday dinner, they offered a complimentary dessert plate.
I ordered a cocktail on-site. It was delicious, but the alcohol was quite strong (the staff mentioned they made it strong... I don't usually drink, so it hit me hard...).

I was able to make a reservation in advance, which was a great deal, and if I have the chance to go to Honolulu again, I will definitely make a reservation and visit.

料理は最高でした。
前菜+メイン+デザートとシンプルなメニューですが、とても満腹です。
メインのボリュームすごいっっっ！！
ワイメア牛は和牛に近いです。薪焼きにされていて、良い薫りがしました。
誕生日でのディナーだと伝えたら、プレート(デザート)をサービスしてくれました。
現地で注文したカクテル。美味しいのですがアルコールがキツかったです。(店員さんが強めに作ったと仰ってました…筆者は普段飲まないので、効きました…)

事前に予約できてお得になりましたし、またホノルルに行く機会があれば必ず予約して、寄りたいです。

We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.

Had to use a premium drink ticket for a diet coke. Gimme a break.
Lobster presentation was unacceptable. Lobster should have been served out of the shell, very messy.
Entertainment was good

At Five Star Dinner, there used to be a hula dance show, but now it's gone, and it's just jazz and piano, which was different from what I expected, so I was disappointed. The price is high, so I couldn't help but think, "Is this worth this price?" Also, the shuttle bus was playing old videos, and it hasn't been updated.

ファイブスターディナーでは、基本的にフラダンスのショーマ行っていたのに、今は無くなっていてジャズ？とピアノだけで、思ったのとは違ったので残念でした。お値段も高いので、これでこの価格かぉと思ってしまいました。また、シャトルバスも、昔のもののビデオを流していて、リニューアルができておりませんでした。ex)Twitter表記など。

Lots of people on the boat, very busy but the team works very hard!

We experienced this as a family of four.
We progressed along the grassy path from the ranch to the seaside! The ocean spread out before us, and it was a wonderful location.
Each horse had its own personality, and we were able to enjoy a valuable experience while walking leisurely.

家族で4人で体験しました。
牧場から草道を進み海辺へ！海が広がり素晴らしいロケーションでした。
馬もそれぞれの性格が有り、のんびりと歩きながら貴重な体験が出来ました。

I had been curious about Nature after seeing it featured on TV and by influencers, and I finally had the chance to visit! This time, I reserved the "Local Beef Experience Course." After indulging in rich meals in Hawaii, I was moved by the delicate dishes at Nature. Perhaps this level of finesse is something that only a Japanese chef can express.

The combination of papaya and prosciutto that I had as an appetizer was a first-time experience for me, and it was delicious. As someone who loves the pairing of melon and prosciutto, I was surprised to find that papaya pairs so well too! It was a new discovery. Also, I was amazed by the size of the burrata cheese! It had an American-style portion, and even sharing it among three people was more than enough to satisfy us.

The main course, the Waimea beef steak, was incredibly tender. The seasoning was exquisite, and the balance of fat was just right, allowing us to enjoy a rich flavor without it being too heavy. The dessert also had a Hawaiian touch, featuring macadamia nuts, which allowed us to feel the essence of Hawaii until the very end.

The quality at this price is fantastic! It was a thoroughly satisfying dinner. I definitely want to visit again.

テレビやインフルエンサーさんが紹介しているのを見て、ずっと気になっていたナチュール。ついに訪れることができました！
今回は「ローカルビーフ・エクスペリエンスコース」を予約。ハワイでこってりとした食事が続いていた中で、ナチュールの繊細な料理に感動。この繊細さは、日本人シェフだからこそ？表現できるものなのかもしれません。

前菜でいただいたパパイヤと生ハムの組み合わせは、初めての体験でしたが美味しかったです。メロンと生ハムの組み合わせが大好きな私にとって、パパイヤともこんなに相性が良いなんて！新しい発見でした。また、ブラータチーズのサイズ感には驚き！アメリカらしいボリューム感で、3人でシェアしても十分満足できる量で嬉しかったです。

メインのワイメア牛のステーキは、柔らかかったぁ。味付けも絶妙で、脂の乗り加減がちょうど良く、重すぎないのにしっかりとした旨味が楽しめました。
デザートもハワイらしさを感じる一品で、マカデミアナッツが使われていて、最後までハワイを感じることができました。

このクオリティでこの価格は素晴らしい！大満足のディナーでした。
またぜひ訪れたいと思います。

I was grateful that they changed my reservation even though I went a day early. The Waimea beef was very delicious.

間違えて予約日前日に行ったにもかかわらず
変更してくれて助かりました。
ワイメア牛はとても美味しいかったです。

I visited Nature for the first time this time. Since it was a limited-time discount price, I was able to enjoy steak at a great deal.

Nature is located on Seaside Avenue, just across Kuhio Street. The first floor houses the creative Japanese restaurant ZIGU. When I visited, ZIGU was already bustling, indicating its popularity.

Nature is on the second floor of the building, and unlike ZIGU, it has a casual yet sophisticated atmosphere. The calm service left a strong impression, and other customers seemed to be enjoying their meals peacefully.

I ordered a set menu this time and enjoyed a glass of red wine as a pairing.

The starter was a marinated cheese and papaya dish. It was a combination I had never seen before, but the sweetness and saltiness were well balanced, and I was already impressed from the start of the meal. The main dish was the signature Waimea beef steak. It was tender and cooked slowly, with nice seasoning. Having visited Hawaii several times and enjoyed various steaks, I think this one ranks at the top! The flavor was complex and layered, with a good balance of firmness and tenderness; it was simply wonderful. The dessert was also luxurious. I regret not being able to finish it all because I was so full! I should have eaten a little less for lunch.

I was able to enjoy the dinner I had been curious about! Thank you!

今回、初めてナチュールさんを訪問しました。早め時間限定の割引価格だったので、お得にステーキを楽しめました。

ナチュールさんの場所は、シーサイドアベニュー、クヒオ通りを渡ってすぐの場所。1階は創作日本食のZIGUが入っています。私が訪れた時間には既にZIGUも盛況で、人気店なことが伺えます。

ナチュールさんは建物の2階ですが、ZIGUとは異なり、カジュアルながら洗練された雰囲気。落ち着いた接客が印象的で、他のお客さんも穏やかに食事を楽しんでいる様子でした。

今回はセットメニューを注文。ペアリングに赤ワインをグラスで楽しみました。

スターターはチーズとパパイヤのマリネ。始めてみる組み合わせでしたが、甘さとしょっぱさがマリアージュしており、お食事開始から既に感動でした。
メインはお店のシグネチャーでもあるワイメア牛のステーキ。じっくり柔らかく調理されたワイメア牛で、味付けもナイスです。何度かハワイに来て、いろいろなステーキを楽しんでおりますが、これはトップランクに入ってくるのでは！？という好みの味でした。複雑で立体的な味わいと言うか、固さと柔らかさのバランスもよく、とにかく素晴らしかったです。
デザートも豪華でした。お腹がいっぱいになってしまい、全部食べきれなかったことが悔やまれます笑
お昼を少し減らしてくればよかったですね笑

気になっていたディナー、楽しむことができました！ありがとうございました！

Had a great time. very friendly staff, well organized production.
It may be their job but everyone seemed to enjoy making sure you have a great time.
go. get the pictures. the memories are priceless.

bonus : go on Friday and you get the fireworks show on the water with Waikiki as the backdrop. what could be better???

I chose the five-star experience as a reward for myself. The wonderful staff and their smiles made it special. Although I attended alone, the staff were considerate, and the other participants reached out to me, allowing me to have a very enjoyable time.

The drink tickets, which allowed me to choose from a variety of beverages starting with a toast of sparkling wine, were very smart and convenient. I initially ordered the Lava Flow, which I always enjoy in Hawaii. Next, I had red wine to pair with the prime steak.

The dishes were creatively prepared, starting with the appetizers, which were fantastic, and the meat was very delicious. The sunset, fireworks, and wonderful music all contributed to a truly memorable experience. I definitely want to come back with my family next time. Thank you very much.

自分へのご褒美に５スターを選びました。素晴らしいスタッフと笑顔。１人で参加でしたが、スタッフの方々がご配慮いただいたり、同じご参加されている方々がお声がけをしてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
飲み物もスパークリングワインでの乾杯からたくさんの飲み物から選べる飲み物のチケット２枚はとてもスマートでわかりやすく便利でした。私はハワイで毎回いただくラヴァフローを最初オーダーしました。次は、プライムステーキに合わせて赤ワインをいただきました。
お料理も工夫されていて、アペタイザーから素晴らしく、お肉もとても美味しかったです。サンセット。花火。素晴らしい音楽。どれをとっても楽しい素晴らしい思い出となりました。次回は家族と是非伺いたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.

We were lost, we called 4 times and no one would pick up our calls before ship left us behind. Someone should be there to answer the phone to help out of state customers, we were a group of 6 Senoir Citizens lost in another state. We all lost all our money we called 45 minutes before ship left.

We did this dinner cruise on a Friday for the fireworks. They served lobster and steak for dinner, the lobster was a whole lobster, the meat was a little tough to chew, the steak was done to much. The show they put on after the fireworks was absolutely phenomenal, they got everyone involved. Even with the mediocre meal I still would recommend this dinner cruise.

I had participated in the 3-Star cruise several times before, so this was my first time on the 5-Star cruise. There was no welcome party on board, and the food was disappointing; in the end, they didn't even serve coffee. I felt that the atmosphere and food were better on the 3-Star cruise, so I will choose the 3-Star next time.

This was my first trip to Hawaii after COVID, but I noticed that the number of participants on the Star of Honolulu has decreased significantly. It felt like there was no longer the same vibrancy as before.

今まで何回か３スターに参加していたので初めての５スターの参加でした、船上でのウエルカムパーティー等もなく料理も期待外れ最後はコーヒーも出してくれませんでした。３スターの方が雰囲気も料理もよく感じました、次回から３スターにします。
コロナ後で初めてのハワイでしたがスターオブホノルルの参加人数がとても少なくなっていました、以前のような活気もなくなっていたように感じます。

The whole experience was wonderful and memorable. We opted for a couples picture and it turned out great! We love the firework and the amazing dancers. Had a great time and would do it again!

For our first overseas trip, I took my father and mother with me to Hawaii. We made reservations because there are fireworks on Friday, and I wanted to end our last night with delicious food.

As a result, we created the most wonderful memories and got great photos! We enjoyed delicious meat and seafood in an amazing location. With jazz music playing and the sunset right in front of us, we went outside to enjoy the photos and the sunset while waiting for our food. We were also able to see the fireworks perfectly.

Both of my parents were delighted, and when I asked them what was the best thing they ate in Hawaii, they said it was the meat and lobster we had on the last day!

Thank you very much! 😊

初めての海外旅行である、父と母を連れて３人でハワイへ。
金曜日は花火が上がるのと、最終日の夜は美味しい食べ物で終えたかったので予約しました。

結果、最高に良い思い出と写真をGETできました(^^)
美味しいお肉と海鮮、最高のロケーション。ジャスが流れ、目の前にはサンセット。
料理が出るまで外に出て、写真や夕陽を楽しめました。花火もばっちり見ることができました。

両親共に喜んでくれて、1番ハワイで食べて美味しかったものは？と聞いたら、
【最終日に食べたお肉とロブスター】でした！

ありがとうございました＾＾

This evening was very crowded, not our style but we did like the firework show from the boat.

You are tightly seated within other groups, but regardless of that the crew and entertainment are fantastic.

The food and entertainment was great! It was a great way to renew our wedding vows and the Captains were fantastic. Such beautiful views and the atmosphere and all the employees were fantastic.

We celebrated my birthday on this sunset cruise. It was a well organized event. Wonderful entertainment and the food was excellent. Our table was on the side of stage so we did not have the best view for picture taking. So much fun, beautiful views, I highly recommend.

Have our own private table and food was good. Have freedom to go topside and had our dinner for the fire works. Second time doing this and would do it again.

Great way to start the year, we wish we were back in Hawaii listening to the wonderful local music!

really wonderful and personal tour, the horses are well cared for and loved!

I love the experience and the food is very good, the show was amazing

Wonderful time!! Beautiful view of Waikiki and sunset. Also a whale sighting.

At the end of the day the price come to worth, you get to have welcome show , beautiful view, delicious food, dangerous but tasty drinks, and party at the end of the trip.

Good food selection at the buffet, and the boat is big so it is not too choppy on the waters.
