This was an amazing trip and we had a wonderful guide Jo-jo who was super knowledgeable about all aspects of hawaii cultural, history, plants, food, birds etc...The bus was nice and air conditioned and the time stopping off at each location was just right. An 11 hour day is a long day but it didn't feel like it because we were so loving every step of the trip and jojo's stories and support was great!

The transportation to and from the place makes it such a smoother process! Everyone on the crew were really amazing and sweet! We had so much fun and it's definitely something everyone should do if it's their first time visiting. The only thing is that they don't have towels, so bring your own! Otherwise it was such a fun experience for the family!

This activity is for those who like to treated like a VIP. From arrival to departure, you feel like a special guest. This boat is enormous. 4 floors of dining & entertainment. The views from the 4th floor walk around area can’t be beat. The food is good and the drinks are outstanding. If you get cold easily, bring a light jacket. The dining area is air conditioned. Supposedly, you can see the Hawaiian Village fireworks on Friday nights. A great way to get some fantastic photos and memories.

This is not your regular Luau event that you go to. My husband and I were celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary and it’s his first trip after 35 years. I was surprised to know that I was not only watching or going to a luau but also going to a comedy show. Chief was amazingly great! His delivery was superb and did not seem rehearsed but was very natural. The staff (i feel bad that I didn’t get his name :( but he was great) took care of a mishap that happened and was very professional. Everyone was so great and I will definitely go back and tell my friends to make sure to see Chiefs Luau.

I used the 5-star course, but I made a mistake with the meeting time and ended up arriving just in time for departure, so I couldn't participate in the welcome event. However, the staff were very polite and accommodating without showing any displeasure. Even though it was past the time, I was able to take a commemorative photo with the captain.
Before the meal, we received three drink vouchers for each of us. On the table, there was a menu for the course, the sunset time (which varies by month), and the schedule for live performances. During the meal, we could step away for a moment to watch the sunset from the exclusive 5-star deck. Therefore, I recommend checking the sunset time first. The portion sizes were just right and the food was very delicious.
The waiter was attentive and frequently checked in with us. The sunset was beautiful, and I was very satisfied.
5スターコースを利用しましたが、
集合時間を間違えて出港ギリギリの時間になってしまい、ウェルカムイベント等には参加できませんでした。
でもスタッフの方々は嫌な顔せずに丁寧に対応していただきました。船長との記念写真も時間を過ぎていましたが特別に撮影してもらえました。
料理の前にドリンク券を3枚×2人分もらいました。テーブルにはコースメニューや日没の時間(月毎に時間が違います)、生演奏のスケジュールが載ったものが置いてます。料理の途中で一旦離席して5スター専用デッキで日没を見ることもできます。なので、1番最初に日没の時間を確認することをお勧めします。料理の量は適量でとても美味しかったです。
ウェイターさんがこまめに気をつかって話しかけてくださいました。
夕日も綺麗でとても満足です。

This was suppose to be one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu… the Pearl Harbor specifically the visit to USS Arizona! We fully paid months before our Hawaii trip. Why a poor review? There were 18 of us. Families and friends. We were informed that they were not able to get a ticket for us to go to USS Arizona, right during the bus pickup! Our other friends who were on a different time slot, same day, were able to do so no problem. We feel that this company should have informed us ahead of time so we would have an opportunity to book with another company. So disappointed! Not good business! I hope this does not happen to anyone else.

This was a great experience for me and my family. The kids had never been snorkeling and it had been a long time for me. I like that we had transportation from the hotel, and then a fun boat ride. They had life vests and snorkeling gear. The stop at the sandbar was fun because we decided to get used to the snorkeling gear while others played volleyball. And my daughter doesn’t swim so she was getting comfortable in the water there. Lunch was great, a nice bbq on the boat. And then the snorkeling was so cool! By the way there’s a ladder down into the water (especially good for kids but all the adults used it too.) We saw a lot of sea turtles on the way to our spot. And also while swimming. And as you know or will hear, you have to back up from them and give them 10 feet of space. But they are majestic! So cool to see the reef and all the tropical fish. My son especially loved it. The crew was all very great and helpful. I think it’s a great trip and we are glad we did it!

This is truly a 5-star luxury experience and the best Oahu sunset dinner cruise. From start to finish you are treated like royalty by friendly and helpful staff. We had the package that includes transportation to and from Waikiki and 4 drinks each (1 Captain's Bellini drink and 3 premium drink tickets). When you arrive you are greeted by dancers, the crew, and captains. You have an opportunity to meet the captains and get amazing photos before setting off on the cruise. The boat was very accessible with elevators to each of the decks. The 5-star luxury SuperNova deck is beautiful and spacious. You are treated to a 7-course dinner and live jazz trio band. At any point you are free to roam the private top deck area for incredible photos of Oahu, Waikiki, Diamond Head, ocean, and sunset. I would advise anyone who signs up for the 5-star luxury deck to wear the appropriate attire (business to formal). I don't think you would be allowed boarding with swimsuits or t-shirts. Dress pants, sneakers and collared shirts should be fine for men, but be aware some guests will dress very formal and be celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, etc. We highly recommend the 5-star luxury dinner experience as it was one of our favorite parts of our Hawaii trip.

I participated in a 5-star plan for my honeymoon. There was a shuttle service to the hotel where we received a sticker (to be placed on the chest as instructed) and three drink vouchers per person. Excitedly, we quickly arrived at the port where the ship was docked.
As we headed towards the entrance of the ship, there was a line of participants, but it seemed that the staff checked the stickers on our chests and prioritized the 5-star guests for boarding. We were guided to the top deck, the 4th floor, where the captain and staff welcomed us. We were greeted with a welcome drink and a one-spoon meal on the deck. There was also an opportunity to take photos with the captain, which could be purchased for $27 (it seemed like most people were buying it).
When we were shown to our table inside the ship, there was a Japanese couple sitting on both sides who were also on their honeymoon in Hawaii. We used our drink vouchers and started with a toast of beer.
After that, the dishes were served one by one, and each was delicious. The staff was attentive to our drink orders and the pace of our meal, providing friendly and pleasant service. Throughout the evening, there was live jazz music played on the piano and saxophone, creating a special and wonderful atmosphere. We also had the chance to go back out on deck to enjoy the sunset and take photos.
At the end, there was a gift of a single rose for the women. From start to finish, we experienced VIP treatment and spent a graceful and lovely time. This is truly a recommended experience for a night in Hawaii.
ハネムーンで5スターのプランに参加しました。
泊まっているホテルに送迎があり、そこで参加の証であるシール(胸あたりに貼るよう指示)やドリンク券1人3枚ずつが渡されます。ワクワクしながらあっという間に船が停まっている港に到着。
船の入口へ向かうと、参加者の列ができていましたが、胸に貼ったシールを確認したのか5スターの方のみスタッフの方が優先的に船の中へ案内してくれました。
5スターは最上階の4階に案内され、船長やスタッフの方々が出迎えてくれます。デッキに出てウェルカムドリンクやワンスプーンの食事で歓迎を受けます。船長との写真撮影がありました。帰り際に27ドルで購入できます。(ほとんどの方が購入しているように見えました)
船内のテーブルに案内されると、両サイドの席にも日本人の夫婦で同様にハネムーンでハワイに来ているようでした。ドリンク券を利用し最初はビールで乾杯。
その後、料理が順番に出てきましたがどれも美味しく、またスタッフの方もドリンクの注文や食事のペースなど気にかけてくれて愛想も良く気持ちの良い対応でした。
終始ピアノやサックスのジャズの生演奏があり、特別で素敵な時間でした。途中で再度デッキに出てサンセットを眺めたり、写真を撮ったりもできます。
最後は、女性に1輪の薔薇のプレゼントもありました。
最初から最後までVIP待遇で優雅で素敵な時間を過ごすことができます。
ハワイの夜に本当におすすめの体験です。

I booked this sunset cruise trip as a get-away trip for me and my mum. My mum is 70 years old and she has bad knees so we have limited activities we can enjoy in Honolulu. The Star of Honolulu is probably the biggest cruise I can find in Oahu. It even has an elevator so my mum does not need to climb stairs!
I was super impressed with the service. As soon as we boarded the ship, we were brought to deck #4 through the elevator, this is the top deck. We were greeted by crew members, have our private photo opportunity with the captain and two beautiful dancers. we enjoyed our onboard drink and appetizer before being brought to our table. by the way we have six alcohol drink vouchers as part of the package. we had a five-course meal: soup, salad, lobster, wellington beef, icecream, and desertl food is absolutely delicious. this is absolutely five star luxury dinner. Most of people were celebrating anniversary, honeymoon or birthday. The crews are super friendly and attentive. When my mom and I walked to the deck to take sunset pictures, they came out to help us! I highly recommended the tour, it will make your the other half feel so special. My best memory of Honolulu.
