All Reviews for For 2 Year Olds

We had a great time on the lunch snorkel tour in Oahu! The trip is exactly as described. Hanging out on the sand bar was incredible and the turtle watching was stellar, we saw many turtles and even a large sting ray. Lunch was tasty and alcoholic drinks were $5 each. Crew was helpful and personable. The snorkeling around the reef was awesome! Bring lots of sunscreen, your own towels, an underwater camera or go pro for pics, and something easy and light to wear before and after getting in the ocean.

This was not our first luau so we had something else to compare it to. The story line/context of the dance/show was very similar, performed better at Chief’s, the comedy was fantastic but the food fell so far short I felt like we paid way too much for the overall experience.

We were blessed with great weather, and we were able to see many turtles, creating wonderful memories for three generations! The lunch was delicious as well. The Japanese staff were very kind and helpful. It was so beautiful and I enjoyed the whole day!

天気にも恵まれ、沢山の亀もみれて親子3代良い思い出が出来ました♡
ランチも美味しかったです
日本人スタッフの方もとても親切で助かりました♪
It was so beautiful and I enjoyed the whole day!

The vessel is more like a ship than a boat like it has 3-4 levels. Very organized and informational! The staff is friendly. Lots of room to walk around. They offer motion pills or some kind of ginger cocktail to prevent motion sickness. They also offered small snakes like chips. There wasn't an option for breakfast.
I went in February and and I saw about 7-10 whales( sprays, tip of their tails). I think 1 or 2 came close to the boat. I enjoyed it. My little one (5yo) was mostly running around...lol.

I participated in this tour with my daughter who lives in Hawaii. It is stated that lunch is included in the tour, but currently, it is not. I confirmed with the staff whether lunch was included, and they said it is available for purchase at an additional cost. Also, there was no explanation about the whales in either English or Japanese.

I didn't have high expectations for lunch based on past comments, but since lunch is not included, I feel that other tours would have been better. (It's not good to have misleading information...) The main purpose of this tour, which was to see whales, was fulfilled as we were able to see them multiple times, so that was good.

Regarding infection control measures, there was no confirmation of vaccination or presentation of negative test results. The staff wore masks, but all the passengers were not wearing masks. It's best to think that this is the current situation in Hawaii. Additionally, many tourists are coming from the mainland United States, where overseas travel has become difficult. There were a lot of people on this tour as well. I thought we were the only Japanese and Asians there.

ハワイ在住の娘と参加しました。
こちらのツアーは昼食付きと記載されていますが、現在はついていません。スタッフにもついていないんですか？と確認しましたが、昼食は有料で購入との事でした。また、クジラについての解説は英語、日本語ともにありませんでした。
過去のコメントから昼食への期待はあまりしていませんでしたが、実際に昼食がついていないのであれば、他のツアーの方が良かったなーと思いました。(嘘の記載は良くないですね...)
このツアー1番の目的である、鯨は何度も見ることができたので良かったです。
感染対策に関しては、ワクチン接種確認も陰性証明書提示もありません。スタッフはマスクをしていますが、乗客はみなノーマスクです。それが今のハワイの現状だと思った方が良いです。それと、ハワイは海外旅行ができなくなったアメリカ本土からたくさんの観光客が来ています。このツアーも大勢の方が乗船していました。日本人、アジア人は私たちだけと思いました。

I recommend it not 100% but 1,000,000% and believe me that they are not paying me for these letters that I write, good organization, punctual, very clean, everything

Very we enjoyed a lot my kids had fun food was good dance was good very nice

The Luau was a nice night out. If you are going a couple of tips: 1) opt in for the bus transportation. The site is about an hour from Waikiki in an industrial park. 2) Get the VIP seats. We were seated right next to the stage and received a photo and 3 free drinks. The stage show was excellent and authentic. The food was hit or miss. It was served cafeteria style where you had to go in a serving line like a cafeteria. The pork was 5 stars, while the rest of the meal was 3 stars. Overall, a nice evening next to the ocean (Excellent Views).

We had such a great experience on this cruise. The staff was on top of it. The meal was great, the entertainment was outstanding! My husband and I had a wonderful time. We strongly recommend.

Fantastic ride - great whale sightings. Convenient shuttle.

We had a very enjoyable trip near Waikiki to view fish and turtles. Our captain and guide were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They knew where to take us to look at the animals. They provided lots of information about the fish as well as the area near which they were found. They were also very helpful with taking pictures with great backgrounds. The timing was just about right--not too long bringing on boredom in younger patrons, and not too short with no opportunities to actually see the animals in their natural habitat. It was a good experience for our entire group.

Thank you Dolphin quest!!My favorite sea animal and it was awesome to get lose and personal with them!

It was so much fun with just a little glitch (they didn’t tell us our lunch was there and we have been waiting). But it was a great experience!

Thank you to all the staff who looked after everyone’s safety!

Mahalo!!

First time seeing Pearl Harbor and it was extremely worth it. This tour is nice because you get to see the Punchbowl Cemetery as well

Very informative. Enjoyed our trip. Great weather.

It was an amazing.experience. i am glad i chose this tour with Captain Bob's crew.

It was amazing and food was really good but the show and the host were wonderful

Love it here! The island is beautiful!! Would prefer more time there. Lots of activity options.

My first time going on a dinner cruise and I was really impressed. There was so much food & was very tasty! The entertainment was awesome! Highly recommend!

As a family of 3 young children (10, 7 and 20 months), we wanted to do at least one excursion on our trip and this was perfect for the 20 month old as she was able to swim in the sandbar! There were no issues taking the 40 minute bus and then the 10 minutes boat ride over to Kaneohe. It was very organized and clean! The staff were very professional and nice and when I emailed the company about bringing my baby’s float, they had no concerns! Kaneohe Sandbar was absolutely breathtaking and so beautiful! We even saw lots of sea turtles! We spent some time in the sandbar to swim and they even set up a volleyball net! They also come around and take pictures for you. While you’re out swimming, the other staff is preparing lunch. The food was pretty good too! Next stop was snorkeling and my husband said it was fun with the kids. They even rinse you off after you’ve finished. Definitely pack extra dry clothes as the bus gets cold - I read a review about that and it came in handy. I am definitely going to recommend this excursion to others.

The show is great and the food is good. I’d recommend anyone that wants to go to a luau, do this one. You will be happy you did!

I actually laughed out loud several times as the Chief entertained. Also, Cousin Lisa and Cousin Ben were fantastic on the bus. Good life advice and great senses of humor. And Cousin Ben played the ukulele unbelievably well!

Thanks!

Mahalo!

This was such a fun excursion to attend with a friend. Very convenient transportation and the boat was spacious and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful for first-time snorkelers. Lunch and beverages were provided and the trip had amazing views. Highly recommend!

Loved the catamaran, as we got to sit on the sturdy netting and relax during our ride. We saw a mother and newborn calf and hung out with them for the duration of the trip. Adorable. The crew was entertaining, kind, and resourceful.

We were three adults, but we saw several families with children of a variety of ages enjoy the activity as well. It was winter when we did it and it was super warm. They provide sunscreen, but if you are particular about brands, bring your own. Also if you are sensitive to the sun, bring a hat that is able to withstand the wind. Two additional notes: bring shoes you are ok with being locked up as this is a shoeless cruise. And you get two drink tickets with a very serviceable bar and local draught brews.

The boat was nice. The nature expert was very informative and had tons of bad dad jokes. We looked for over an hour before we finally caught sight of the whales. We were pretty far away so we couldn't see them too close. We only stayed for about 10 minutes before heading back, since we were already running late. I'm just glad the trip wasn't for naught.

Chiefs Luau was so fun, delicious and historic. A beautiful display of what Hawaii means to them. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

The whole experience was amazing but I also wanted to say what a treat and rare treasure it was to see and hear uncle Ben play the uklayla on the bus for us. Thank you cousin Lisa for welcoming us intonyour family . You made my birthday special

The best thing About this was the show..which was amazing..but the food was horrible ..the seating has us so squished together that it was completely uncomfortable..definitely not worth the price and definitely won’t recommend

There are many breathtaking attractions and stunning tours on Waikiki. NOTHING is better than experiencing the beauty of Hawaii and it's wildlife than from the water - and the Star of Honolulu does it, like no other! Of course, the hope and draw of seeing whales is what brought us to this tour; however, truly, what makes this journey unforgettable is, in fact, the journey!

The boat ride, itself, is nothing short of magical. From the enchantment of rolling out of peer to the unreal experience of being on the ocean, looking towards our hotel from the perception of the sea is nothing we will soon forget! The crew were exceptional at being clear on instructions and protocols, which is appreciated - but truly what dazzled us impressed was how genuinely friendly and eager to help the crew was! I am disabled; the crew did an incredible job helping me and making sure I was alright!

The naturalist on board was great too! He was personable, knowledgeable, and open to questions, without being pushy. He enhanced the trip so much, and ticked our funny bone with his hilarious whale dad jokes!

Finally, seeing whales and dolphins in their own world took everyone's breath away! This was, without a doubt, the icing on the cake! We can honestly say, going on this adventure with the Star of Honolulu was the best and most memorable part of our honeymoon! Four of our biggest thumbs up for this amazing life experience; our biggest thanks to the Star of Honolulu!

I had my granddaughter as my companion and we so enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent! Wow a whole lobster which was such a pleasant surprise as I thought it might just be the tail. LOL. The serivice, the entertainment and overall experience will last me the rest of my life. That is coming from this 80 year-old-lady who hopes she has many more years left. Going to Hawaii was a life-long dream and I finally made it.. This sunset cruise topped off my whole trip experience. Have been telling anyone I meet who mentions going to Honolulu I emphatically tell them to take this sunset cruise.
Hugs to all of you.
