This is the 2nd year in a row my family and I have booked this snorkel cruise. We loved it each time. We loved being in the middle of the ocean snorkeling and being on the sand bar. We felt safe each time and had a lot of fun. The staff was wonderful and the food was great as well. Anytime we come to Oahu, Captain Bobs is our go to!

Our honeymoon, and our first time in Hawaii!
We went to the sandbar (*^^*)
I heard it can be affected by the weather, but it was beautifully sunny! We also saw a lot of sea turtles, which was very moving (;_;)
The hamburgers we had on the boat were exceptional!!
I definitely want to come back again!
新婚旅行にて、初めてのハワイ!
そしてサンドバーでした(*^^*)

I have been there for lunch before, and this time I visited for dinner. We went with six people, and since we had a reservation, we were smoothly guided to our seats. The dishes were all beautifully presented, and they tasted as good as they looked. I think it was a good deal since we booked through Veltra and had a course meal. We paid separately for drinks and tips on the day. I believe it's a restaurant where you can enjoy your meal with peace of mind. We made a reservation for 5:30 PM, but shortly after, it was fully booked, and there were people waiting at the reception, so it's definitely a place where reservations are necessary.
以前ランチで行った事があります、今回はディナーで訪問。
6名で行きましたが予約していたので、スムーズに席に案内していただきました。
お料理は見た目にどれも綺麗です。味も見た目通りで美味しかったです。
ベルトラさんで予約していたのでコースでしたが安くで済んだと思います。
飲み物は別料金とチップで当日支払いしました。安心して食事ができる店だと思います。
17:30予約していきましたが、少しすると満席で受付に待ってる人もいましたので、予約は必要な店ですね。

There were three of us participating, and the rest were about 25 foreign guests. We were lucky to have two guides, and one Japanese guide was assigned to our group of three, providing detailed explanations on various topics. The ground was wet and uneven, so it was necessary to take precautions against slipping. I think it's best to be prepared for muddy shoes as well. The path to the waterfall features various plants and power spots, so it was never boring.
On the way back, we received sandwiches and were taken directly to Tantalus Lookout for lunch. It was a beautiful hill with a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki, and it felt wonderful to be there.
私達3人で参加しました、他は全て25人程は外国人の方々でした。
ガイドさんが二人付いてくれてて、一人の日本人ガイドさんが3人に付いてくれたのでとてもラッキーで細かい事まで丁寧に説明してもらえました。
足下は湿ってて足がゴロゴロしてるので、滑らない工夫が必要です。泥で靴も汚れますので覚悟してたほうがいいと思います、滝までの道のりは色々な植物やパワースポットがあり飽きません。
帰りにサンドイッチを受け取りそのままタンタラスの丘まで連れて行ってもらい昼食でした、ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキが見渡せるとても見晴らしのキレイな丘で気持ち良かったです。

The hamburger with grilled meat that they made on the ship was delicious. The lady's conversation was enjoyable, and perhaps because the weather was nice, the ship didn't sway at all, so I didn't feel seasick. The sea was incredibly beautiful; there's no way it wouldn't look great in photos, all of them turned out amazing. I even got to see a sea turtle, so I was very satisfied.
船上で焼いて貰える肉が挟まったハンバーガーが美味しかった。
お姉さんの喋りも楽しく、気候が良かったのか全く船も揺れず、船酔いもありませんでした。

We completely enjoyed our tour of this beautiful island. Our guide was amazing. Keyleon He had so much knowledge about the areas he expertly drove us to.
The only negative I found is that most people who took this tour were staying on this island. We did a flight from Oahu to Kauai. We missed our return flight due to slow traffic conditions. If you plan to island hop- make sure you get a later flight off this island or you will spend a huge amount of time in the airport.

Enjoyed the show. The entertainment was very good. We paid to be picked up. I am so glad we made that decision. Traffic was bad but our driver Johnny handled it like a pro. Greg checked us in and then narrated the trip. He had a great sense of humor and made the ride very enjoyable. The chief also had a great sense of humor and made the stories very interesting. We were also surprised with flowers for our anniversary. They were all very courteous and made you feel like part of the family. We will definitely go again if we are ever back in Hawaii.

We were the only Japanese people, but there was a Japanese staff member who guided us entirely in Japanese.
It was my husband's first time snorkeling, and he enjoyed it thanks to the thorough explanations provided.
On the boat, everyone was free to relax, and we could drink soft drinks freely. The lunch was also very delicious!
We got to see dolphins and turtles, making it a very satisfying tour! We definitely want to participate again!

I reserved tickets for the show on June 4th (Sunday) the night before using my smartphone and attended. The luau dance was overwhelming. In particular, the fire dance was powerful and breathtaking. There was also hula dancing, and we enjoyed a packed show. The leader's talk was witty and engaging, and he was great at keeping everyone entertained for a long time.
Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the show itself, but we hope for some improvements in the dinner. However, I also think that unless it's a hotel luau dinner show on Oahu, one shouldn't expect much from the food. The dishes listed on the menu were indeed available, but they were served in the typical Hawaiian white plastic containers where everyone serves themselves (similar to the buffet style at Japanese hotel breakfast venues where you line up and walk while picking up food). The quality and taste of the food are best not to be expected too highly. Please consider the show as the main attraction and the dinner as just an addition.
6/4(日)のショーを前日の夜、スマートフォンで予約して参加しました。
ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした。特に、火の舞は、迫力があり、息をのむほど。
フラダンスもありで、盛沢山のショーを楽しみました。リーダーのトークも軽妙洒脱で、皆を乗せるのがうまく、長い時間を飽きさせない人でした。
妻も私もショー自体にはとても満足しましたが、夕ご飯はもう少し改善してほしいところです。ただ、オアフ島では、ホテルのフラダンス・ディナーショーでもなければ、食べ物に期待してはいけないのだろうとも思います。メニューに書いてあった料理が確かにありましたが、ハワイ特有の白いプラケースに各自が取るスタイルで(日本のホテルのバイキング/ブッフェスタイルの朝食会場で列を作って歩きながら料理をとるパターン)、料理の品質・味は、期待しない方が良いです。あくまでも、ショーがメインで、夕ご飯は付け足し程度に考えてください。

I went on the 5-Star cruise. I made a reservation with the Celebration Plan (guaranteed window seat) and paid for it, but I was booked under the regular plan. While the manager was confirming my reservation, I couldn't eat the food in front of me for about 30 minutes after being seated. In the end, it turned out that the reservation from VELTRA to Star of Honolulu was under the regular plan, and I was treated as such until the end. I never expected something like this to happen. I'm very disappointed.
Also, it seems that the shuttle bus got caught in traffic, so by the time we arrived, dinner had already started, and other guests who arrived earlier were enjoying their meals.
I thought there might be a separate entrance for the 5-Star guests, but there wasn't anything like that. We all lined up at one entrance to board the ship.
The schedule mentioned that there would be a welcome reception by the captain on the exclusive deck on the top floor for 5-Star guests, but there was nothing of the sort. We were just guided to line up and proceed into the ship.
The food wasn't particularly delicious; it was average. It was mentioned that the meat could be cut with a fork, but it was more like something you could manage to cut with a knife.
I have been to Hawaii several times, and regarding the Hilton fireworks, I've seen them from various places, but sitting on the beach south of the Rainbow Tower is the best spot. Watching the fireworks from the cruise ship was an experience, but since it was from a distance, it lacked impact.
Additionally, guests from the lower deck were casually coming up the stairs to the 5-Star deck. There was a rope at the top of the stairs, but they seemed to know how to unhook it to get in and then rehook it. These were regular guests, not staff.
I was considering this might be my elderly mother's first and last overseas trip, so I regret spending a lot of money and time on this optional tour. I hope this review can be helpful to someone.
5スターで行ってきました。
セレブレーションプラン(窓際席確約)で予約し、その分の金額も支払いましたが、通常のプランで予約されており、あちらのマネージャーに予約したプランの確認をしてもらっている間、席についてからも30分ほど、目の前の料理を食べることができませんでした。
結局、VELTRAからスターオブホノルルへの予約が通常プランだったそうで、最後まで通常プランとしての扱いとなりました。
こんなことが起きるなんて、思いもしませんでした。非常に残念で仕方ありません。
また、恐らく送迎バスが渋滞に巻き込まれたせいで、私たちが到着した頃にはすでにディナーは始まっており、先に着いていた他のお客さんは食事を楽しんでました。
乗船する際に5スター用の入口でもあるのかなと思ってましたが、特にそのようなものはなく、大勢で列に並んで一か所の入り口から乗船しました。
5スターだと「最上階の専用デッキでキャプテンによるウェルカムレセプションがある」というスケジュールが記載されていますが、そんなものは一切ありません。列になって船内に進むように案内されました。
料理も、特別おいしいものではなかったですね。普通です。お肉がフォークで切れるという記載がありますが、ナイフでがんばって切れるぐらいの感じでした。
私自身は何度かハワイに行ったことがあり、ヒルトンの花火については、いろいろな場所から見てますが、レインボータワーの南側のビーチに座って見るのが一番ですね。
クルーズ船から花火を見れたことは一つの経験にはなりましたが、遠くから見ることになるので、全然迫力はないです。
それから、下の階のお客さんが、普通に5スターのデッキに階段を上ってきてました。一応階段を上がった先にロープがありますが、手慣れた感じでフックを外して入って、またフックをかけてました。スタッフの方ではなく、一般のお客さんです。
年老いた母を含めた、最初で最後の海外旅行だろうと考えてましたので、このようなオプショナルツアーに大金と時間を使ったことが残念で仕方がないです。
誰かの参考になればと思い、口コミを残します。

From the beginning the crew made us feel completely comfortable. The trip out to the sandbar was relaxing yet exciting at the same time as we looked back upon the shoreline admiring the greenery that the island presented. The sandbar was just breathtaking!!! It was so amazing to think that we were standing in the ocean on a beach....crazy! The cruise around afterwards presented not only some sea turtles, but two large schools of manta rays feeding on the surface.
Overall trip was completely enjoyable and we plan on bringing all of our friends and family when they visit!!!!
On a side note, parking is extremely difficult in/on the marina, so just park on the side of the highway (everyone does) and it's just a short walk to the boat.
Make this one of your excursions when you visit!!!!!

We arrive at the park in time for the opening. The shuttle car is very cold. It's chilly.
Drinks inside the park are expensive, so let's bring a water bottle or a plastic bottle. There are hydration spots at the restaurant.
Interacting with the dolphins can get you somewhat wet as they splash water around. I think the price is reasonable.

The activity exceeded our expectations!
The crew did a get job explaining the rules, what to expect, and why. I felt safe and they included everybody and were interactive, very friendly and personable. This was my first time snorkeling, so I was a little nervous, but they put me at ease. It was truly amazing —-we got to see the giant sea turtles!!!
I also saw at least seven or eight different fish along the reef. And I even was swimming with beautiful school of fish below me!
I like the fact that they introduced us at the sandbar and let us get warmed up to snorkeling, and we had a game of volleyball before we went to the reef. They grilled hamburgers and had barbecued beans, and it was a delicious lunch!
all in all it was a great day, and a memory I will always cherish. I highly recommend this activity and tour to anybody going to Hawaii.
