All Reviews for Romantic Things to Do in Oahu

We received amazing service my wife and I! We celebrated our 1 month anniversary being married and Armando took outstanding care of us and we had such an amazing time. At the very end of the night we were pleasantly surprised with the song we played for our first dance on our wedding day, we were invited to dance up front and the servers were so enthusiastic and fun the entire time. 11/10 would recommend to a friend and we will be returning next special occasion!!

We left our hotel in Waikiki early and arrived in about 50 minutes. The place we got off at was locked, and upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit different, so we walked a bit further and found a sign that said "Check-In," where we waited. However, even when the meeting time came, they didn't arrive for quite a while and showed up 10 minutes later. The explanation was only in English, and I could only understand a little through gestures. At first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, I was able to enjoy horseback riding while feeling the North Shore breeze.

I was fine, but a foreign participant with us seemed to have some issues. My husband said his butt hurt. It was a valuable experience.

早めにワイキキのホテルを出発したところ50分くらいで着きました。降りたところが鍵がかかっており、よーく見てみるとちょっと違ってたので、先の方に行ってみるとチェックインと書いてあったので、そこで待っていました。しかし集合時間になってもなかなか来ず10分後にきました。説明は英語のみで身振り手振りで何となくしかわからない状態で出発。最初は怖かったですが慣れるとノースショアの風を感じながら、気持ちよく乗馬出来ました。
私は何ともなかったのですが、一緒に参加した外国の方はまたズレ？してました。主人は、お尻が痛いと言ってました。貴重な経験が出来ました。

The Star of Honolulu was awesome… what a great time me and my wife had… nice big ship lots of room… and what a show at the end… they do a great job getting us all in position out on the water for the sunset. I would highly recommend this option for a dinner sunset cruise… plenty of helpful staff and dinner service was superb…!!!!

The entire boat crew made this an experience to remover for ever. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend booking an evening tour with them, job well done!

We were the only Japanese people there.
We rode horses in the spacious ranch.
We took a leisurely walk while explaining the grass, flowers, birds, and small animals in simple English.
The horse was calm and smart, so I only needed to control it with the reins when it stopped to eat grass; otherwise, it walked nicely.
We climbed a small hill and took commemorative photos at a scenic spot.
I had a very enjoyable time.

日本人は私達だけでした。
ゆったりと広い牧場内を乗馬。
簡単な英語で草花や鳥や小動物の説明をしながらの散策。
馬が大人しく頭がいいので、途中草を食べるのに止まるのを、手綱で制御するぐらいで、後はちゃんと歩いてくれます。
小高い丘を登り、景色の良い所で記念撮影。
とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

Review
The cruise was very nice. Sunset was perfect. Prime rib was OK. I was expecting more. The chicken was great! Fish, was ok too. I would do the cruise again. I would upgrade to see if the food was better. Buffet was ok for an.overall rating!

The atmosphere was amazing! Looked very high end and it felt like it. Staff was very friendly and had great service. Super romantic dinner cruise that I highly recommend to any couple looking for a unique Hawai’i experience. Food was really good, not the biggest portions, but still we left satisfied. I will say whatever the dessert was, wasn’t very good. The only negative. It was this fruit flavored cake but it tasted like dish soap. Other than that this is a must!! Beautiful scenery and nice cool breeze with excellent food and live entertainment! We did pay for the middle tier I believe so it was the four course meal with two drink tickets. I think anyone would love this.

I had always wanted to try horseback riding, but since the youngest was 7 and the oldest was 69, it was hard to find a place where everyone could ride together. Just when I was about to give up, I found this place!

I signed up for a one-hour course that started at 8:45 AM. We left Waikiki just after 7 AM, stopped at Leonard's to buy and eat malasadas on the way, and arrived at the location just in time for the meeting. We parked in the spacious parking lot and received instructions from the staff at the reception, then signed the waiver.

Wearing helmets was optional for adults, but of course, everyone wore one! We only put our phones and car keys in the provided leather bags. After using the restroom and playing with the goats and sheep in the area, it was suddenly time to start.

Each person was helped onto a horse, and we received a brief explanation on how to ride: pull the reins to stop, turn the reins in the direction you want to go, and give a light kick to the belly if the horse stops moving. Even the 7-year-old was able to ride alone and we set off right away! At first, I was nervous, but the horses were all calm and smart, which made me feel at ease.

There were hills to climb and we weaved through a herd of cows, making it feel like an attraction, which was enjoyable. We could take pictures anytime, but since we had to hold the reins, it was a bit tricky to operate the phone with one hand while turning around to take a shot. It might be difficult for those who aren't used to handling their phone with one hand. The ranch staff took quite a few pictures for us, but they were $8 each, so we decided not to purchase any.

Since we had a child with us, we moved at a relatively slow pace, but I would have liked to ride faster if it were just adults. Also, the 7-year-old was placed at the back, so everyone had to be mindful of the pace, and it would have been best if the adults were at the back instead.

We chose the one-hour course, but it actually lasted over an hour, which was more than enough. By the end, my hips and thighs were shaking! All the staff were women, and the restrooms and animal areas were kept relatively clean, which was quite impressive (though there was a lot of dust). The kids said that horseback riding was the most fun part! I highly recommend it!

ずっとやりたかった乗馬でしたが、下は7歳、上は69歳だったのでなかなか全員で乗馬できるところがなく、諦めかけていたところこちらを見つけました❗️

午前8時45分集合の1時間コースを申し込み。
ワイキキを7時過ぎに出発し、途中レナーズでマラサダを購入し食べならがレンタカーにて現地へ。集合時間ギリギリに到着
広々とした駐車場に適当に駐車して、受付でお姉さんからの説明を受け、免責の書類にサイン。
成人はヘルメット着用が自由でしたが、もちろん全員着用❗️笑
荷物は備え付けの皮の袋へ携帯と車の鍵だけ入れて。
トイレを済ませたり、園内にあるヤギや羊たちと戯れているとあっという間に開始時間に。

1人ずつ馬に乗せていただき、手綱を手前へ引いたらストップ、手綱を曲がりたい方向へ向けたら曲がる、動かなくなったら足で軽くお腹を蹴るなど、軽く乗り方の説明を受けただけて、7歳の子供も1人で乗って早速出発❗️
最初は緊張しましたが、大人しく頭のいい馬ばかりだったので、乗っているこちらも安心できました。
坂道があったり牛の群れの間をすり抜けたり、アトラクション的な感じもあって楽しめます。
写真もいつでも自分たちで撮れます。
が、手綱は持ったままになりますので、片手で携帯を操作し、さらに後ろに振り向いてシャッターを押さないといけませんので、片手で携帯の操作をし慣れてる人じゃないと難しいかなと。
牧場の方もかなり撮ってくれますが、1枚8ドルだったので、購入はせず…
また、子供がいたのでかなりゆっくりのスピードで進んでくれましたが、大人ばかりならもっと早いスピードでも乗ってみたかったかな〜。
それと、7歳の子供が一番後ろに配置されたので、みんなが後ろを気をしながら進まないといけなく、できたら大人を最後にしてもらえたらベストではありました。

今回1時間のコースにしましたが、実質1時間以上あり十分でした。
最後になると股関節も太もももワナワナしてきて笑
スタッフは全員女性で、トイレや動物のいる所も比較的綺麗に保たれており、かなり好感持てました。(砂埃は凄かったですが)
子供達も、乗馬が一番楽しかったと言っていました‼️
めちゃくちゃオススメです‼️

I thought everything, from the meals to the crew's service, was perfect!

If you ride on Friday, you can also see fireworks, which is a great deal!

It is a bit pricey, but it's worth experiencing!

食事も船員さんの対応も全てにおいてパーフェクトかなと思いました！

金曜日に乗ると花火も見れてお得です！

値段はしますけど、乗ってみる価値はありますよ！

The crew makes sure things run smooth, and the boat is a nice smooth sail as well!

This was a great experience. The performers and all staff were professional and made sure we had a good time. Food portions were perfect so that we weren't super stuffed but full enough. Beautiful food presentation. Hats off to the culinary team and chef!!!! This was a memorable experience and the interactive dance for everyone at the end was a perfect way to end the dinner cruise. Only one recommendation would be to have air conditioning in the boat. Other than that, the night was amazing!!

Overall outstanding!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome view!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The champagne toast was so fun for an anniversary evening, we loved our night!

perfect pair after a relaxing pool day, delish cuisine and lots of fun happening on board!

This was our second trip on the Star of Honolulu, the first being 9 years ago. I paid more this time for an upgraded meal. The meal was good, but I think we would have been happier with just the buffet. The upgrade wasn’t really worth the price we paid. The entertainment was good and the views were spectacular! If we come to Hawai’i again, I think we’ll just get the lowest price meal and still do the cruise.

It's a 5-star experience, and the price is around 35,000 yen per person, so I was worried about table manners... but those worries were unnecessary! It was surprisingly casual, as you could stand up and walk out to the deck during the meal. I think it mentioned that "men's dress code is collared shirts," but there were definitely people in T-shirts. The non-alcoholic cocktails were delicious!

5スター、日本円で35,000円/1人くらいの値段なので、テーブルマナー大丈夫かな…
など心配しましたが、いらぬ心配でした！
食事中に立って歩いてデッキに出るのも自由なので意外とフランクにすごしました。
「男性のドレスコードは襟付きの服」と書かれていた気がしますが、全然Tシャツの人もいました。
ノンアルカクテル美味しかったです！

Our first times...suprisingly not what we expected, it was MORE than! Had so much fun and maybe we'll take another cruise soon.

We Had a fabulous evening, great shows and food was fantastic

I had been curious about the Five Star Dinner Cruise for a while. My husband was hesitant because he gets seasick, but it turned out to be a great decision to go.

From before boarding, we were welcomed with hula and music, which really set the mood. As soon as we boarded, they provided us with motion sickness medication, so my husband said he felt almost no nausea.

The meal included champagne, salad, lobster, steak, and dessert, along with two drinks of our choice. There was also piano music and live singing, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

On Friday, we enjoyed the Hilton fireworks, and there was even a surprise proposal among the guests, making it a very lively cruise. I would love to take this cruise again if I have the chance.

以前から気になっていたファイブスターディナークルーズ、夫が船酔いするので躊躇してましたが、行って正解でした。
乗船前からフラとミュージックで歓迎があり、雰囲気を盛り上げます。
乗船してすぐに酔い止め薬をもらえたので、ほぼ酔わずに良かったと言ってました。
食事はシャンパン、サラダにロブスターにステーキとデザート、他に好きな飲み物2杯チョイスできました。
ピアノ演奏に生歌もありとてもいい雰囲気でした、
金曜日のヒルトン花火もありの、お客様の中でサプライズプロポーズする方がいたりと、とても盛り上がったクルーズでした。
機会があればまた利用したいです。

Everything was perfect, but mostly for entertainment was awesome!

The sunset was amazing, and we had a great view of the fireworks from Hilton. The light hitting Diamond Head before sunset was incredibly beautiful. It's a bit pricey, but I recommend 5STAR.

サンセット、ヒルトンの花火がよく見えてさいこうでした。
サンセット前にダイアモンドヘッドに光があたり無茶苦茶きれいです。
少し高いですが、5STAR がおすすめです。

The food was really delicious, and we made some sweet vacation friends at the table we sat at!

Once again this year, it was a five-star experience. The seats were spacious, and we enjoyed the live performance, the food, the scenery, and above all, the beaming smile of my partner. We had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

昨年に引き続き　今回は5スター　座席もゆったり　ライブ、お料理、景観　そして何よりパートナーの満面の笑み　素敵な時間を過ごさせでいただきました
ありがとうございました

Enjoyed the cruise and seeing Waikīkī from the sea
The buffet dinner was quite nice
The show was okay but not great.
It wasn’t really a show. It was dancers spread over the one deck. The dancers themselves were good but wasn’t a show. The waiters had to dance but most were not great. Armondo was good.
The lady singing was terrible.
The waiters service was good.
The Mai Tai’s were good.
Everyone was friendly.
If I did cruise again would do the deck 3 menu and show.

I recently went Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours / Standard Daytime Horseback Rides and unfortunately, it was not well organized. The whole experience seemed uncoordinated, and the pictures taken were unusable due to the way we were positioned.

I gave them 3 stars mainly because the two ladies we interacted with were nice enough, and the horses were well-behaved. However, the walk itself was not very scenic, and overall, it was a disappointing experience. I wouldn't do it again.

Everything was great really had a good time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best birthday present my husband has ever received we would happily do this cruise again and have highly recommended it to all of our friends and family who are still in Hawaii for our Sons wedding.
The experience was fantastic the staff were fantastic at their job. The show was an absolute awesome experience
The food was delicious, my husband was very shocked at the variety and was enjoying it that much he wanted more. Only downside was feeling overly cramped in small seating space, besides that if we ever get back to Hawaii we would book this every day.

My first horseback riding experience in Hawaii at Gunstock Ranch became a wonderful memory! The instructors were kind and attentive. (I can't speak English, but I managed just fine!) The horses were gentle and smart, making it easy for beginners like me to ride comfortably. You can feel the richness of the animals living freely on the vast land.

Riding the horses while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery of Hawaii was a fantastic activity!

It took just under two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by the Bus, but the changing scenery made the time fly by. I’ve decided that the next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely go horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch again!

ハワイで初めての乗馬体験がガンストックランチでとてもいい思い出になりました！
インストラクターの方達も優しく丁寧に対応してくださいます。(私は英語ができませんが、なんとかなりました！)
お馬さんたちも穏やかで、賢くて乗馬初心者でも安心して乗ることができました。広大な土地にのびのびと生活する動物たちの豊かさを感じれます。
お馬さんに乗ってハワイの大自然の景色を堪能できるとても良いアクティビティでした！

ガンストックランチまでは、the Busで2時間弱でしたが移り変わる景色であっという間でした。
また、ハワイに行った際にはガンストックランチで乗馬をすると決めました！

This dinner cruise was so much fun. The food was great. The staff was nice, funny, and accommodating to our needs.

I booked a shuttle service. Excitedly, I went to the meeting point, but the shuttle didn’t arrive even when the time came. I thought there might be traffic, but I couldn’t get through on the phone, and feeling sad, I returned to the hotel and called again, only to be told that my reservation hadn’t gone through and was scheduled for another day. I was stunned, and I had to quickly come up with other plans for that day, but to be honest, my schedule was disrupted. Since it was rescheduled for another day, my plans for that day changed as well. When I went on the scheduled day, the shuttle didn’t arrive again at the appointed time, and I was astonished. When I called, they hurriedly came after a while. I was exhausted from the morning. They were speaking English fluently, but there wasn’t even a single word of apology.

送迎付きを申し込みました。ウキウキしながら、
待ち合わせの場所にいきました。が時間になっても送迎が来ませんでした。
渋滞しているのかと思いながら、電話も通じなく、悲しくホテルに戻って電話をしなおしたら、予約が取れていなくて、他の日になっていると言われました．(全部英語)
唖然として、その1日は急遽他の事をしましたが、はっきり言って、スケジュールが崩れました。
他の日になってしまった為にその日もスケジュールが変わりました．
又、予定日に行ったら、また予定の時間になっても来なくて、あきれて、電話したらしばらくして慌てて来ました．朝からめちゃくちゃつかれました。英語でベラベラ話してましたが、すいませんの一言もなかったです。
