All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

I love this star of hononlulu sunset cruises... their had a very good services... next time I still gonna go more

The location was within the Royal Hawaiian Center, so it was convenient and close to the hotel where I was staying.

The show featured traditional Hawaiian dances and impersonations (?), alternating between them, and the time flew by. However, there were many songs I didn't know, so I thought it would have been better to study some songs by Michael and Presley in advance. The venue had strong air conditioning, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket.

場所がロイヤルハワイアンセンター内だったので宿泊していたホテルから近く便利でした。

ショーの内容もハワイの伝統的なダンスとそっくりさんのモノマネ（？）ライブと交互にあり時間があっという間に過ぎました。
ただ知らない曲が多かったのでもう少し事前にマイケルやプレスリーの曲を勉強していけばよかったかなと思いました。
会場は冷房がかなりきいているので必ず長袖の上着を持っていくのがいいと思います。

On our honeymoon in early December, my husband and I went to see a famous rock show in Hawaii on our last night, the fourth night of our trip (＾＿＾)☆ The show took place on the fourth floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, where we enjoyed a service that included toasting with drinks and eating fruits and nuts in a stylish VIP room before the show started! If you prefer non-alcoholic drinks, just say "non-alcohol please" and you will receive a non-alcoholic option♪ Alcoholic drinks come with clear straws, while non-alcoholic drinks have red straws as a marker! After that, we moved to the venue where the show was held and enjoyed a delicious meal (´ω｀). The luxurious lobster was the most impressive dish! The waitstaff were friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! The show featured impersonators of famous celebrities like Michael Jackson, and it was truly moving to see them up close! Additionally, the fire dance was also impressive! It was my first time seeing a fire dance, and it was very powerful! The audience's excitement reached its peak! After the show, we had our photo taken with three celebrity impersonators by the staff! A little waiting in line for photos is all you need♪ The rock show created unforgettable memories for us (＾＿＾)☆ I would love to participate again!

ハネムーンで12月上旬に旦那と初めてのハワイの最終日4日目の夜にハワイで有名なロックショーを観に行きました（＾＿＾）☆ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階に行われたこのショーでは、ショーが始まる前におしゃれなVIPルームでお酒で乾杯しながらフルーツやナッツを食べたりするサービスがありました！ノンアルコール希望の人はノンアルコールプリーズと言えばノンアルコールをいただけます♪アルコールの方は透明なストロー、ノンアルコールの方は赤色のストローが目印です！その後にショーが行われる会場に移動し、美味しいお食事をいただきました(´ω｀)高級なロブスターが1番印象的でした！ウェイトレスさんも気さくな方が多くとても楽しかったです！ショーはマイケルジャクソンなどのそっくりな有名人さんを間近でみることができ、とても感動しました！また、ファイヤーダンスも感動しました！ファイヤーダンスも初めて観たのでとても迫力がありました！観客からの盛り上がりも最高潮に達していました！ショーが終わった後に、有名人そっくりさん3人と写真をスタッフの方に撮っていただきました！写真撮影は少し並べば大丈夫です♪ロックショでは、一生の思い出を作ることができました（＾＿＾）☆また参加したいと思いました！

I felt like I was on the boat for quite a long time! I usually don't take the time to enjoy the sunset, so I was completely relaxed and lost track of time. After the sun went down, I was able to enjoy the night view as well ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ On the way back, the waves were a bit rough, and I got seasick. But I want to go again!

結構長い時間のっていた気がします！！
夕日が沈むまで、ゆっくり見ることなんて普段ないので、時間を忘れて癒されました。
沈んでからは、夜景も堪能できました( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
帰りにじゃっかん波があらくて、船酔いしました。
でも、また行きたいです！

I watched my first hula show in Hawaii. Since I had the chance, I opted for the green room package with dinner. It included welcome champagne in the green room, a commemorative photo with the performers, a backstage tour, and a course meal. I think it's quite affordable at under $200 compared to other hula shows. The explanation during the backstage tour was all in English, so there were parts I didn't fully understand. I was able to watch up close, and I could feel the heat from the fire dance. I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity.

ハワイで初めてフラショーを観ました。
せっかくなので、グリーンルームと料理付きにしました。
グリーンルームでのウェルカムシャンパンと出演者との記念写真、バックステージツアーにコース料理。全て含まれて200ドルしないので他のフラショーと比べても安いと思います。
バックステージツアーの説明は全部英語なので所々わからないところ有りでした。
近くで観れたので、ファイアーダンスは炎の熱を感じる程でした。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

Everything was great - it even rained so we sort of had soupy food, but the entertainment was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and met a couple of very nice people!

It was an open rooftop, so we had our meal while getting soaked in the rain. They only provided thin plastic ponchos, and there wasn't much follow-up.

The show and the meal were good, so the weather seems to significantly affect the overall satisfaction.

屋根のない屋上だったので、雨でびしょびしょになりながら食事をしました。
薄いビニールのポンチョが配られただけで、特にフォローはありません。

ショーや食事は良かったので、天気で満足度はかなり変わりそうです。

About 20% of the people were Japanese, but on the contrary, that really enhanced the feeling of being on an overseas trip, which was great. I was quite surprised that they went all the way out to the open sea!

日本人は２割くらいでしたが、逆にそれが海外旅行に来ている感をupさせてくれとてもよかったです。結構沖のほうまで行ってくれてびっくりしました！

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see much since I had the cheapest seat. However, the seat was close to the stage, and I could see everything. I enjoyed both the Hawaiian dance and the impersonations, and I felt like I got a great deal! Additionally, I was able to participate in photo opportunities after the show, so I had a wonderful time even at a low price.

1番安い席だから、あまり見えなかったらどぅしよう…と不安でした。しかし、席はステージから近く、全体を見渡せます。ハワイアンダンスもものまねも楽しめて、すごく得した気分！また、終了後の写真撮影にも参加でき、安い価格でも十分に楽しめました。

My husband and I went on this cruise as part of our honeymoon. It far exceeded our expectations! The staff was not only knowledgeable but incredibly fun and friendly. We felt so much Aloha. We enjoyed it so much we are going back again next year and doing this again. We are bringing friends this time!

I participated on the last day in Hawaii. The Hilton is very large, so it was difficult to find the venue. The food was just okay, but the show was all in English, and I enjoyed it enough.

ハワイ最終日に参加しました。
ヒルトンは、とても広いので会場を探すのが大変でした。
お料理はまあまあといったところ、ショーはすべて
英語ですが、十分楽しめました。

I was looking for a hula dance show and found this one based on the great reviews.

I chose the VIP plan, which included a dinner course. We enjoyed a course meal at our table before watching the show. The shrimp and meat were both incredibly delicious and there was plenty of food. The staff was also very kind.

We were able to watch the show right from our seats in the front row. The hula dance was very cute and glamorous. The fire dance was also very impressive.

Not only was there hula dancing, but there were also performances by Michael, Elvis Presley, and Celine Dion. There were many songs I recognized, and it was so much fun. Everyone clapped along and got really into it. I think it’s highly recommended for both women and men. Michael was really a look-alike, and he sang beautifully, which made it enjoyable.

I truly had a wonderful time. After the show, I was able to take photos with Michael, Celine Dion, and Elvis Presley. It felt like I met stars.

I definitely want to go again when I come back to Hawaii. I highly recommend it.

フラダンスのショーを、見たくて、色々と探していました。
こちらのクチコミがよく、参加させていただきました。

vipプランにしたので、ディナーコース付きでした。
テーブルでコース料理を食べてからショーを見ました。
エビもお肉もすごく美味しくて量もありました。スタッフの方も、すごく親切でした。

ショーも、そのままの席で観れたので、最前列です。
フラダンスは、とても可愛くて、華やかでした。
ファイヤーダンスも、すごく迫力がありました。

フラダンスだけでなく、マイケルや、プレスリー、セリーヌディオンが出てきました。知っている歌も多くて、すごく楽しかったです。
みんなで手拍子をしたり、盛り上がりました。
女性だけでなく、男性にもとてもおすすめだと思いました。
マイケルも、本当にそっくりで、歌も上手くて楽しかったです。

本当に素敵な時間を過ごせました。
ショーの後は、マイケルやセリーヌディオン、プレスリーと一緒に写真が撮れました。スターに会えた気分になれました。

また、ハワイに来たらぜひ行きたいです。
おすすめです。

It was our family's first catamaran ride in 15 years! No matter when you ride, you can enjoy the essence of Hawaii! The kids, who were small back then, fell asleep during the trip, but this time they are adults (laughs), so they thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise while sipping on Mai Tais! Honestly, it seemed like the kids would have enjoyed the atmosphere even more if they had gone with people who weren't family (laughs).

家族で15年ぶりのカタマランでした！いつ乗っても、ハワイらしさを楽しめます！
当時、小さかった子供たちは途中で寝てしまっていましたが、今回は成人してるので（笑）、しっかりマイタイを頂きながら、サンセットクルーズを堪能していました！
・・正直、子供たちには、家族じゃない人と乗った方が、尚、雰囲気を楽しめそうでしたが（笑）

We loved the cruise from the moment we boarded to the moment we stepped off! The crew and catamaran were top notch and professionals at having fun! We were celebrating with my son and daughter in law and eveverything was amazing and entertaining!

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!

The catamaran heading towards the sunset was very stable, and the hotel cluster in Waikiki was beautifully lit up. For just a moment, the fireworks from the sea were amazing!

夕日に向かって走るカタマラン号は揺れも余り無く、
ワイキキのホテル群がライトアップされてとても美しかったです。
ほんの一瞬ですが、海上からの花火は素晴らしい～

We did the sunset sail our last night in Oahu and had a blast! Cruising around the water in Hawaii with open bar, can't go wrong!

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.

楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。

My friends and I had a great time at the Waikiki Starlight Luau!
The location is very convenient and we could just walk from our our hotel. Once we arrived the check-in was fast and we had a friendly staff greeting us with a Hawaiian lei and a welcome drink, nothing better than start the night with a Mai Tai! The food was very delicious and I love the variety of the food, specially the salads. It's great that they have a station specially for the kids.
The show was wonderful, full of delightful performances. My favorite part was the fire knife dance and to learn more about the other Polynesian cultures like Tonga, New Zeland, Samoa and Tahiti.
I would for sure come back to the this luau!

Whatever your preferences are, you'll probably only have one chance in your life to see Elvis perform live on stage with a group of talented Polynesian dancers. Throw in a pretty great luau dinner and you can begin to see why this show is so popular. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the artists that were featured that night, but it is still really entertaining to see a group of people so devoted to their craft. I highly recommend this for couples staying in Waikiki.

My husband and I recently moved to Oahu, and my parents were coming to visit us for Thanksgiving....I wanted to find something different we could do so I thought a dinner cruise would be perfect and relaxing. The food was subpar, and they made it seem like it was going to be a huge spread. We did not get to see fireworks, when the weather seemed fine. And towards the end of the cruise, we were just hanging out in the same area for quite some time before we had to dock. I am usually not one to complain, or write reviews, but I suggest you ask specific questions if considering these particular cruises so you are not left disappointed. We felt as though it was a waste of our money, and we would have rather gone out for a nice dinner, and sat outside to watch the sunset.

The sunset view in Waikiki is amazing, but I had a memory of the dinner cruise food being... so for our first family trip to Hawaii, I chose only the sunset cruise and participated in this tour. It was a bit chilly as we were properly exposed to the wind, but I had a fun and pleasant time.

ワイキキに夕陽が落ちていく景色は最高なんだけど、ディナークルーズの食事は･･･という記憶があったので、初の家族ハワイ旅ではサンセットクルーズのみを選択して、このツアーに参加。まともに風を受けるので少し肌寒いですが、楽しく、気持ちよく過ごせました。　

I'm glad I choose to celebrate birth on the island 30 years ago with Star of Honolulu. Best birthday ever!!

Great hosts, great craft! Loved every moment!!!

Two years ago, I experienced a dinner cruise on a catamaran, and based on that experience, I signed up again this time, but it was completely different.

First of all, last time we had a two-person table by the window where we could enjoy music and hula dancing while dining. This time, however, we were seated at a round table for eight on the first floor, and our tablemates were loud Westerners. I had requested the best plan, which was supposed to include lobster and was located near the restroom at the back near the entrance, but even though I knew it was a buffet, the food quality was the worst I had ever experienced. I accepted everything and finished my meal quickly to head up to the deck on the third floor. As I glanced at the second floor, I couldn't help but feel frustrated at the crew members who had assigned us to our groups when boarding, thinking, "Was it that person who made the mistake?"

The reason for my frustration was that the second-floor seating was arranged with individual two-person tables in a calm and quiet atmosphere, and I felt envious watching them enjoy their meals. What was I doing on the first floor? I realized that no one had lobster either! This only added to my anger and regret. I thought I would never ride again, so I kept it to myself, but I received an email asking for my experience, so I decided to share it in hopes it might help those considering this cruise.

2年前にもカタマランタイプの船にてディナークルーズを体験しました、その時のイメージにて
今回も申し込んだのですが、まったく別物でした。
まず、席が前回は2人掛けの席で、窓側を確保して頂き音楽やフラダンス等を鑑賞しながら
食事ができたものが、今回は１階フロアで円卓の8人掛け　そして合い席の方々は大声で話する欧米の方でした。　最後尾中央の出入り口近くでトイレの一番近く、ロブスター付きの一番良いとされるプランでお願いしたものが、ビッフェと判っていたものの、食事内容は過去最低　すべて受け入れて軽く食事を済ませ、早々に3階のデッキにに上がるため途中の2階フロアを横目で見た途端に、乗船時にグループごとに振り分けていたクルーの顔が憎たらしく感じ、「あいつが間違えやがったのか！」と思え尚更悔しく思いました。
その理由が、2階席が2人掛けの個別席で用意されいてすごく静かな落ち着いた良い雰囲気の中
食事されている様子が羨ましく感じ、今の1階で食事していたのは何！　そういえば誰もロブスターは無かったし！　と考えれば余計に腹立たしくも思え後悔だけがこみ上げましたが、　2度と乗る事もないのでと胸の内にしまっていましたが、体験談を書いて下さいのメールが入っていたので、　検討中の方々に参考になればと　思い投稿することにしました。

Great staff, excellent selection of drinks at the bar! I've been on a lot of tours like it but this stood out as one of the best.

Overall experience was fantastic. Felt like a condensed cruise trip. Need to make sure you don't eat the trip away because they keep bringing food and before you know it you are back to the dock. Good entertainment staff.

It's full of couples and groups of friends.

It seems like there's an all-you-can-drink option, but the boat sways quite a bit, so I only had one drink.

The sunset view from the boat was really nice.

カップルや友達連れの人だらけです。

お酒飲み放題みたいだけど、
船はわりと揺れるので一杯だか飲みました。

船から見るサンセットはとても良かったです

The day we participated, there were few Japanese people.
The sunset was very beautiful.
I was satisfied with the postcard-like photos I took.

私達が参加した日は日本人が少なかったです。
夕日がとっても綺麗
絵ハガキのような写真が撮れて満足です。

This was an awesome trip. We had quite some waves on the ocean but the boat felt save all the time.
The people are nice. Good drinks.
We had a great sun set.
