We enjoyed the cruise. The staff was very attentive to us. Dinner was first. Unfortunately the dinner lasted through the sunset and we were seated on the opposite side of the boat. So didn't really see the sunset. We did the crab legs dinner. It was nice. Make sure you get seconds when they offer. They come around a 1 time. The entertainment was fun. The dancers performed in the middle of the deck. That is why dinner is quick. The Honolulu lights at night are a pretty sight. The night was breezy so bring a sweater to through on in case.

I went with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old. The kids were super excited as we occasionally got splashed by the waves. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the clouds, but we got close to Diamond Head and enjoyed some great views.

crew was competent and friendly. it was an easy boat ride to turtle canyon. crew kept close eye on snorkelers for swimmer safety and protection of turtles. I saw the crew actually pick up plastic bag debris drifting by the site (left by someone else) to prevent the turtles from ingesting it. That's my kind of tour operators!!! After snorkeling, Holokai set sail and we had a fantastic wind powered ride. it was great. I will use them again, and I will recommend them to my friends for when the come to Waikiki.

They use the motor to get the boat out of the harbour and then turn it off and you are moving swiftly along just by wind power - it's a wonderful experience, so calm but invigorating. The weather was perfect, sunny with clouds and a good breeze for sailing. The crew were great. Friendly, helpful and professional. Anna, the bar tender was especially good (and we all got a voucher for a free cocktail which I did not realize - nice!). She helped one person who was not feeling too good and gave him all sorts of great advice.
The boat sails along the coastline so you get the perfect view of the Honolulu coastline and Waikiki. We even saw a whale off the side of the boat which was really exciting. A great afternoon trip and great value.

This was my second time participating, but there were no other Japanese people besides us. If you don't understand English at all, it might be a bit concerning. Watching the fireworks from the boat was amazing. It started to rain partway through, and because we were on the sea, it was very windy and quite cold. Since the weather can change quickly, I recommend preparing for the cold.
今回2度目の参加でしたが日本人は私たち以外いませんでした。
全く英語が解らないと、ちょっと心配かもしれません。

My wife has been attending a hula dance class for several years, and to experience authentic hula dancing, we decided to return to Hawaii, where we had our honeymoon, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal. A year ago, during our stay in Hawaii, we utilized Velta's services, which made it convenient to change reservations on-site, so I booked this tour with a three-star rating domestically.
Thanks to the tour sticker on my chest at the meeting point, several crew members congratulated us as we boarded. We had a window-side table for two on the second floor (below the upper level of the five-star) with a great view, and the food was good.
During the meal, we were called and escorted to the third floor (the top floor) via the elevator, where the front of the ship served as the venue. (When we took photos with the captain during our honeymoon, it was on the outer deck, but it might have been this location due to the strong winds and occasional rain that day.) It felt a bit cramped, but the captain came to our table, which was decorated with beautiful flowers, and we made our vow renewal promises while signing a certificate in the captain's presence. I couldn't fully understand the captain's comments since they were all in English, but I managed to respond with "Yes" whenever he looked my way. However, the floor manager, who spoke broken Japanese, explained the flow of the ceremony, and we were able to take videos and photos with our own camera during the ceremony. After that, the champagne included with the tour was served, and we toasted with the captain (who mentioned that his glass contained apple juice while on board).
After the ceremony, when I mentioned that we had also boarded the Star of Honolulu for our honeymoon 20 years ago, the three people present (the captain, the floor manager, and a black-clad attendant) exclaimed "Amazing." The captain was particularly delighted, saying, "I've been the captain of this ship for 30 years, so I probably was on board 20 years ago." The black-clad attendant kept repeating "Amazing" as we returned to our table, which made our happy moment feel even more special.
We returned to our table, continued our meal while drinking champagne, and enjoyed another highlight: the beautiful Friday fireworks, which made for an unforgettable time.
After 20 years of marriage, life has been different from our newlywed days, often moving away from words like "love," but I feel that this vow renewal allowed us to remember our "beginning" as a couple. We are considering participating in this tour for our 25th and 30th anniversaries as well.
Thank you for a wonderful time.
妻がフラダンス教室に数年通い本場でフラダンスを体験するため、また、結婚20周年を迎え、バウリニューアルのために新婚旅行で訪れた同じハワイに行いきました。1年前、ハワイ滞在時にVeltaさんを活用させていただき、予約変更等も現地で行えて便利だったので、国内で本ツアーの3スターを予約しました。
集合場所でツアーを示すシールを胸に貼ったおかげで、乗船時に『Congratulations』と数名のクルーから声をかけていただきました。席は2F?(5スターの上層階の下)の窓際の二人席でとても景色が良く、料理もGoodでした。
料理の途中で呼ばれてエスコートされてエレベーターで3F(最上階)に向かい、エレベーターを降りた船の最前面の場所が会場となります。(新婚旅行の時の船長さんとの記念撮影は、外の船主の甲板デッキでしたが、この日は風が強く、時折雨も降ったので、この場所だっだのかもしれません。)少し狭い感じはしますが、きれいな花等で飾られたテーブルの前に船長さんが来ていただき、バウリニューアルの誓いや船長さん立ち合いの証明書サインをして頂きました。船長さんのコメントは全て英語のために十分に理解はできませんでしたが、船長さんが視線を向けるたびに『Yes』と言ってごまかしました。ただ、サポートいただいたフロアーマネージャー??の方が片言の日本語で流れを説明していただき、加えて式の間は私たち持参のカメラでビデオ&写真を撮っていただけました。その後このツアーに付いているシャンペンがここで登場し、船長と一緒に乾杯しました。(船長さんのグラスは乗船中のためアップルジュースと言っていました。)
式の後、20年前の新婚旅行でもスターオブホノルルに乗船した事を伝えると、立ち会っていただいた3名(船長さん、フロアーマネージャー?黒服のアテンダー)から『Amazing』と言われ、特に船長さんは『30年前から本船のキャプテンをしているので、20年前も多分私が乗船したいた』ととても喜んでくれ、加えてテーブルに戻る間も黒服のアテンダーの方も『Amazing』を連発され、私たちの幸せな時間が更に倍増した感覚でした。
テーブルに戻ってシャンペンを飲みながら食事を続け、もう一つの楽しみも『金曜日の花火』もとてもきれいで、忘れられない時間をいただけた感じです。
結婚20年もたてば新婚生活と違って『愛』のような言葉から離れた生活でしたが、今回のバウリニューアルで夫婦お互いに少なからず『初心』を思い出す事が出来たと感じています。
25、30周年記念も、このツアーに参加させていただきたいと考えています。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございます。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are truly delighted that you chose to use our services for your vow renewal. It's amazing to hear that you also used our services for your honeymoon 20 years ago! We are very honored. We are thrilled that the Star of Honolulu has become a part of your love story!

Since we arrived on Friday, I was looking for a nice place to watch the fireworks with him. I considered various options like dinner cruises and restaurants, but taking into account our schedule during the stay (the wedding), I found a plan that combined the fireworks with a cruise, which I wanted to include in this trip to Hawaii. I made the reservation right away.
The staff were lively, and the atmosphere was great with music, a relaxing breeze, and a beautiful night view. We were able to see the fireworks from a really good spot! It was a wonderful start to our night, feeling great right after our arrival!
金曜到着だったので、これは花火を素敵なところで(彼と)見なければ♪と、いろいろ探していました。ディナークルーズやレストラン、いろいろ検討しましたが、滞在中のスケジュール(挙式)なども考慮して、花火と、これまた今回のハワイ旅行で取り入れたかったクルーズがセットになっているプランを発見。さっそく予約しました。

It was a very cost-effective optional tour. I enjoyed Mai Tai cocktails and champagne, and had a romantic evening. Next time, I want to join during sunset. There were fewer Japanese participants, but everyone was lively and it was fun ^_^
If I had to point out one thing, the directions might be unclear. The right exit from the Sheraton Hotel pool is for the Mai Tai cocktail tour, but we went out the left exit and waited in front of a sign with a similar name. We later realized our mistake after asking around and hurriedly ran back. The names of the tours are similar, so please be careful. By the way, the main sign for the tour we mistakenly joined had pictures of a catamaran and the ocean, while the Mai Tai tour had a sign in red letters. The Mai Tai tour is just outside the Sheraton pool. The mistaken tour required quite a walk from the Sheraton pool, so that might help as a reference.
Even with the mix-up at the meeting point, it became a wonderful memory of Hawaii. I absolutely recommend it.
とてもコスパの高いオプショナルツアーでした。
マイタイのカクテルやシャンパンをいただき、ロマンティックな夜を過ごさせていただきました。今度はサンセットの時間帯に参加したいです。日本人は少なめですが、みんなノリノリで楽しかったです^_^
ひとつ指摘をあげるのであれば、案内が分かりづらいかもしれません。シェラトンホテルのプールから右側出口がマイタイカクテルツアーですが、私達は左側出口に出て、似たような名前の看板の前で待ち、後から周囲に聞いて謝りに気づき慌てて走りました。ツアーの名前も似てますので、気をつけてください。因みに間違えたツアーのメイン案内板は双胴船や海の写真が入ってますが、マイタイツアーは確か赤字での案内板でした。マイタイツアーはシェラトンのプールから出てすぐです。間違えたツアーはシェラトンのプールから出て、結構歩きましたので目安になると思います。
待ち合わせ場所を間違えたハプニングを除いても、とても良いハワイの思い出になりました。絶対おすすめです。

It was the rainy season in Honolulu, but we were blessed with good weather and spent a fun few days there. On the last day, we participated in this tour. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any wildlife, but as everyone has mentioned, it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it (^^;
However, at the end, we received a compensation slip. Since it was the last day, I thought it would be nice to offer a small refund or even a commemorative postcard for those who missed out. It would change the feeling of disappointment and make us more excited to come back and see them next time!

My wife, Sherstin, and I immensely enjoyed our sail on the "Makani" and it was one of the high points of our recent time on Oahu.
The day was mostly sunny with a few rain squalls which made for some interesting contrasts.
The catamaran was very stable and the captain was expert at reading the waves and currents which was a great relief to my wife since she is a bit prone to dizziness. But she was able to handle the voyage with no problem.
What a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki! We also got a kick out of seeing a couple of turtles, as well as some surfers and snorkelers.
Hats off to the captain, crew and shore personnel -- we had a great time!

Honestly, it seemed like the kids would have enjoyed the atmosphere even more if they had gone with people who weren't family (laughs).

My overall experience aboard the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise ship was fantastic! I went with my 7-year old son and he had a blast as well. His favorite part of the evening was going up and down the stairs from one deck to another exploring. And my favorite part was... the view of the Hawaiian sun disappearing behind the endless horizon. :)
We chose the all-you-can-eat crab dinner, and it was literally “all-you-can-eat!” The spirit-of-aloha-filled staff member was cruising along the dining area asking who else would like some more crab legs until the guests could not say a "yes" any more. The quality of food and entertainment were superb.
It was my first cruise dinner, so I did not know what to expect. A funny jokes-filled driver picked us up in a luxury motorcoach bus and upon arrival to Aloha Tower, an elegant staff representative escorted us to the ship. The tables were set beautifully with an orchid in the middle of the dinner plate.
I would definitely recommend this experience both to tourists and to those who live in Hawaii!

I was a bit anxious about participating with my 3-year-old and 7-year-old children, but we had a great time!
Since the reviews here were helpful, I wanted to write in detail as a thank you.
Check-in was at 8:30, so we arrived on time, but it turned out that the reception started at 8:30... arriving at 8:50 was totally fine.
The location is the beach at Outrigger Hotel. The nearby beaches are connected, so it seems fine to walk along the beach.
Everything was in English, but there were also Japanese instructions, so there were no issues. It didn't seem like they were saying anything too complicated.
The crew was kind and polite, so I had no worries. Plus, all of them were incredibly handsome. It was quite a treat for the eyes.
After setting sail, we arrived at the spot shortly after. We jumped right into the water. And immediately saw turtles! We spotted about four at once! One of the crew members stayed with our family and supported the kids, so we were able to enjoy it for a solid hour.
The kids got tired, so we got back on the boat, but it was cold during this season. It was also drizzling on and off, so warm clothing is essential. We brought two bath towels, a hoodie, and a light jacket, but having one more bath towel might have been better. Since we got wet, one towel for warmth would have been useful.
After that, we went sailing, which was super fast and felt like jumping! This was also very exciting.
Drinks were around $2 to $5. We could choose from beer, juice, and more. We paid after arriving, including tips.
In any case, we saw a lot of turtles! With the beautiful sea and the handsome crew, it was an incredibly fun experience! It wrapped up quickly in the morning, so I was satisfied with how we spent our time!

場所は、アウトリガーホテルのビーチ。近辺のビーチは、繋がっているので、ビーチつたいに行っても問題なさそうです。
言葉は全て英語。案内は日本語もあるので、問題ありませんでした。
難しい事も言ってなさそう。

目の保養感半端ないです。
出航し、少ししたら、スポット到着。
すぐに海に入りました。
そしてすぐにカメさん!

雨も降ったり止んだりなので、防寒は必須です。
我が家はバスタオル2枚、パーカー、羽織で行きましたが、バスタオルはもう一枚あった方が良かったかも。
濡れてしまうので、1枚防寒用に。
その後はセーリング、すごいスピードで、ジャンプするように!こちらも大興奮でした。
ドリンクは、2ドルから5ドルくらい。
ビール、ジュースなど選べました。支払いは到着後、チップと合わせて払いました。
とにかくカメさん沢山見れました!綺麗な海と、イケメンクルーで、最高に楽しかったです!
サクッと午前中で終わるので、時間の遣い方としても満足しました!
