Oahu
My husband and I had a spectacular time on this 5 star dinner cruise. We've lived here for 11 years and this was our first time experiencing the elegance and absolute superb 5 star dinning experience the Star of Honolulu offers. From start to finish everything was spectacular. We were treated like VIP's. We were greeted and warmly escorted to the boat where we partook of some extremely delectable pupu's while being serenaded by a Polynesian dancer and ukulele player. We were also introduced to the Captain of the ship and was afforded a photo op with him. As the evening progressed the boat set sail and the 7 course meal did not disappoint. We ate until our belly's were super tight. Did I mention the majestic sunset we watched from our window seats? Simply amazing! We also enjoyed the top shelf drinks that were apart of the menu. But not to worry if you are not an alcohol drinker there are many non-alcohol drinks to choose from.
This dinner cruise truly exceeded our expectations and we would wholeheartedly recommend the 5 star experience especially for that very special occasion. Its the perfect way to celebrate. It's kid friendly too. Mahalo Star of Honolulu for a very memorable anniversary! #14yrs
This cruise was a nice boat ride. All employees were friendly, welcoming and pleasant. The shuttle ride to the boat was on time and information shared by employees was clear. The buffet dinner was average. It seemed to take a while for serving dishes to be refilled and there was a shortage of utensils. The cruising of the boat was lovely, ample time to observe the sunset, fireworks. The major negative would be only two restrooms available for everyone. The live music was well done and very enjoyable.
Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!
The thrill of watching the fireworks from the sea on Friday was amazing!
However, the time spent anchored on the water was quite long and felt stretched out. I also think the Star of Honolulu cruise ship is better.
金曜日の花火を海上から見る醍醐味はありました！
しかしながら、海上に停泊する時間が長くて間延びしてしまいますね(^_^;)
あとクルーズ船についてはスターオブホノルルの方が良いと思います。

We travel by boat from the shore to the open sea and board a submarine. The boat rocks a lot, but the submarine is quiet. The sight of the large schools of fish gathering around the reef is spectacular. While there aren't as many coral reefs as in Okinawa, it's a great experience to have at least once.
浜から沖まで船で移動し、潜水艦に乗艦します。船はよく揺れますが潜水艦は静かです。漁礁に群がる魚の大群は見ものです。沖縄のようにサンゴ礁はいっぱいありませんが一度経験するには最高です

I participated on New Year's Eve 2017. Unfortunately, it seems the whales were also taking a break and did not appear. I was disappointed that I couldn't see them.
Once on the boat, the first thing was the meal. The photo shows the front of the boat, but there are also seats and tables where you can eat comfortably. The meal was a hamburger, and it was delicious! The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat was beautiful.
The third floor has no windows, so the view is great, but once we set sail, the wind became quite strong, so it's best to finish your meal quickly. I thought that even if we saw whales, they would be far away, so I was mainly focused on the scenery, which met my expectations for satisfaction.
Above all, it was helpful that there was commentary in Japanese. I think I will try again someday for a revenge trip.
2017年大晦日に参加しました。
残念ながらクジラもお休みのようで現れず。残念ながら見ることが出来ませんでした。
船に乗るとまず食事です。写真は船先端ですが、それ以外はイスもテーブルもありゆっくり食べられます。食事はハンバーガーですが美味しくいただきました！また船から眺めるワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドは綺麗でした。
3階は窓がないので眺めが良いですが、出航するとかなり風が強くなりますので、食事は早めに済ませましょう。
クジラは見えても遠いであろうと思っていたので、景色メインと考えて乗っていましたので期待通りの満足度としました。
何より日本語で解説があり、助かります。
いつかまたリベンジしよと思います。

The staff aboard the vessel were accommodating and informative. There was a nice buffet with a full service bar. The captain went out of his way to make sure we had a whale sighting. There were professional photographers on board to capture photos of the whales if you miss getting your own in all the excitement of seeing a whale for the first time. I will definitely do this again on my next visit to the Island!
The night view and fireworks were beautiful and amazing. The all-you-can-drink menu was also rich with options like beer, champagne, and Mai Tai! I want to participate again.
夜景も花火も綺麗で最高でした。飲み放題のメニューもビールやシャンパンやマイタイ等豊富でした！また参加したいです。

I had an amazing time! The Mai Tai was delicious, and the staff were great at getting everyone excited! Above all, the sunset was beautiful, and we even saw a whale! There were three groups of Japanese and one Korean family, and we were able to blend in with the Westerners without feeling out of place! Everyone shared their seats, and we were able to take photos at the stunning viewpoint! This was my fourth time in Hawaii, and I will definitely participate again next time.
最高に楽しかったですマイタイも美味しく、staffも盛り上げ上手でした‼
何より夕日が綺麗で おまけにクジラも現れました❗ 日本人も３組 韓国人家族も1組おりそんなに違和感なく欧米人の中に溶け込む事が出来ました❗ 皆で席を譲り合って絶景pointの撮影も撮ることが出来ました❗
４回目のハワイですが 次回も参加します

I was really looking forward to my first whale watching experience, but I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see much. I understand it's nature, so it's unavoidable... However, the staff were very focused on taking photos for sale and occupied the best viewing spots. With so many people on the boat, if you miss out on a good spot, it feels like you're just sitting on the boat for hours without seeing anything. It was just cold, so I recommend being well-prepared for the cold weather.
ホエールウォッチングに初参加で楽しみにしていたのですが、
こんなにも見れないのかと少しガッカリでした。自然の生き物なので仕方がないですが…。
ただ、スタッフの方々は、販売用の写真を撮るのに必死で一番見やすい場所を陣取っているし、
船に乗っている人数も多いので、場所取りに失敗すると、何もせずにただ何時間も船に乗っているだけという感じでした。
ただただ寒く、防寒対策は万全にしていくのがおススメです。

We boarded with six family members. The weather was great, and we were impressed by the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea! Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the cruise was enjoyable. If whales don't appear, those who want to try again can receive a free reboarding ticket. If you have the time, it might be nice to go again!
家族６人で乗船しました。
お天気も良くて、海から見るワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドベッドに感激しました！
残念ながらクジラは見られませんでしたがクルーズは楽しかったです。
クジラが現れず、もう一度トライしたい方は、無料で再乗船のチケットがもらえます。
時間がある方はまた乗ってみても良いかもです！

The weather was great on the day, and I was able to see whales about 10 times! There weren't too many people, so I was able to relax and enjoy it to the fullest!
当日は天気も良く10回程度クジラを見ることが出来ました！また人もそこまで多くなく、ゆったり過ごせたので最高でした！！

It was a stylish large cruise ship with little rocking, and even with a one-year-old, we were comfortable without any seasickness. Most importantly, I was thrilled to see the spouting, body, and tail perfectly.
オシャレな船内の大きな客船で、揺れも少なく、1歳児連れでしたが船酔いもなく快適でした。
そして何より、潮吹きも体も尻尾もバッチリ見れて感激しました

i bought this as a gift for a family holiday, we had the best time on board and the crew were amazing!
We even managed to see 2 whales!
Onboard, I enjoyed a buffet with roast beef and was able to relax on the sofa while watching several whales. The air conditioning was a bit strong, so it might be cold if you're wearing short sleeves and shorts. I would love to board again if I have the chance.
快適な船内で、ローストビーフなどのブッフェが楽しめて、ソファでくつろぎながらクジラが何頭も見れました。冷房が少し強いので、半袖短パンだと寒いかもしれないです。
また機会があれば乗船したいです。

I went on the shuttle bus knowing that the bay was beautiful from above. Quick however thorough instructions on the equipment. Once you get used to it the beauty you find in the clear waters are amazing. After this outing everything was stress free for me. All I can say is if you can swim you had not miss this.
We had a thoroughly delightful evening. We had the all you can eat crab and purchased 1 bottle of wine.
The show was lovely and enthusiastically done. The tour and the meal was very well organized. This is a must do in Honolulu...
The pilot was great, his knowledge of the sites and explanations was entertaining and informative, the music choices were good and the flight was not scary (for those of us who were a bit nervous); instead is was like a magic carpet ride.
I would definitely recommend this trip to friends!AS
Thanks, Cid, for a great review. I like that, a Magic Carpet Ride. 'Always wanted one of those.
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the sailing adventure! The staff was funny and helped make it a great time with lots of laughs. We went with the all-you-can-drink option for a little extra and it was a great choice. Sail lasted an hour and a half which was plenty of time to drink enough to make it worth it. We enjoyed it so much that as soon as we got off the sail we went right up to the check-in umbrella and signed up for another sail the next day.
I had a great time! I was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but thanks to the life jacket being fully inflated, I had enough buoyancy and it wasn't scary at all. If you've snorkeled before, you'll definitely enjoy it!
Since it's out in the ocean, there are mostly black fish, so if you're looking to see colorful fish, this might not be the best spot. However, there are plenty of sea turtles! I saw at least five! Watching them swim in groups was wonderful!
It seems to be a diving spot, as there were divers from diving tours below us. I was very satisfied watching the sea turtles and fish gracefully swimming in the deep sea! During the boat ride, I also got to see dolphins and whales, which was a nice touch for Hawaii!
Just a heads up, after snorkeling, the cruising can be a bit chilly with a wet body in the wind, so I recommend dressing warmly. Also, the boat goes quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. They also do some leisurely sailing with the sails up, which added a nice variety to the experience.
You can easily enjoy this without going far, right off the coast of Waikiki, so I definitely recommend it!
とっても楽しかったです！
足がつかない沖でのシュノーケルが不安でしたがライフジャケットをパンパンに膨らましたため、浮力があったので怖いことはなくシュノーケルしたことある方なら十分楽しめます！
沖なので、魚は黒い魚が多く色とりどりの魚を見たい方には向きません。
ただ、海亀はたくさんいます！5匹は見れました！群れて泳ぐ姿が良かったです！
ダイビングスポットなのか、下にはダイビングツアーのダイバーも。
深い海を優雅に泳ぐ海亀と魚に大満足です！
船で移動中には、イルカの背やホエールも見れてハワイ詰め合わせでした！
ただ、シュノーケル後にクルージングなので濡れた体が風にあたり寒いです。しっかり防寒することをお勧めします。
また、かなりスリリングに船を飛ばしてくれるので酔いやすい方は対策を。
ゆったり帆を張ってスローなクルージングもしてくれるので緩急あって飽きませんでした。
遠くに行かなくてもワイキキ沖で手軽に楽しめるのでぜひ！

A full capacity of 49 passengers on board, with 7 Japanese people. There was all-you-can-drink beer, champagne, and cocktails. The fireworks were also well visible. Since there were no snacks provided, we brought our own.

There were a lot of fish while snorkeling, but I was a bit disappointed that there were few colorful ones. We went as a family of three, and my daughter, who is not fond of the ocean, stayed close to me, allowing us parents to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. We were also able to see sea turtles underwater and seals floating on the surface nearby. The sailing after snorkeling, with the splashes of waves, was surprisingly thrilling and fun.
シュノーケリングで魚は沢山いたのですが、色の付いた魚が少なかったのが、少しガッカリでした。家族3人で行ったのですが、海が苦手な娘にずっと付き添ってもらえて、親は安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。海中のウミガメ、海に浮かぶアザラシも近くで見えました。シュノーケリング後の波飛沫を上げて進むセーリングが思いの外、迫力があり楽しかったです。

We participated with three seniors. It was helpful that transportation was included. We were satisfied to see whales. The lunch was also delicious. It became a wonderful memory of our trip to Hawaii.

Before participating, I was worried about whether I would be able to see whales, but once I saw them, I was able to see them multiple times with some intervals in between, totaling about eight times. I was able to see the whale's tail, body, head, and spouting. I really feel like I was lucky. The whales came close to the boat, so while I was chatting with my kids and family inside the boat over fruits and coffee, someone would shout, "Ah!" and at that signal, we could rush to the window and see the whales up close. I took photos and videos with my smartphone, but the excitement of seeing the whales with my own eyes was truly exceptional.
参加前はクジラ、見られるかな？と心配していましたが、一度見られると間隔を空けて何度も見られ、合計8回程、クジラの尾っぽや体、頭や潮吹きを見られました。本当に運が良かったと思います。クジラから船に近づいて来てくれたので、船内でフルーツやコーヒーを頂きながら子供達や家族と談笑していても、「あーっ‼︎」と誰かが大きな声を出してくれて、その声を合図に窓側へ駆け寄れば間近でクジラを見ることが出来ました。スマホやビデオで写真や動画をとれましたが、やはり肉眼でクジラを見た感動は格別です。

This is a great activity for all ages! The crew are very friendly and accommodating and the excursion is very well organized. We saw several large turtles and one juvenile turtle! The best thing about this excursion is not only do you have the chance to snorkel with lots of turtles, but the crew takes you out for a sail where you can enjoy cocktails onboard. Really great way to end the perfect tour!
Recommendation: if you are strong swimmer, you should consider renting fins to dive down and get a closer look at the turtles!
Beautiful Catamaran the Holokai takes you just out from Waikiki beach out into Turtle Canyon, so many turtles as soon as we got in the water I was absolutely amazed! Excellent, helpful, fun staff. Drinks & snacks on board to purchase very reasonable in price. Excellent Snorkel equipment provided. Will do it all again next time I’m in Waikiki for sure!!!
Great experience overall. It was amazing to see all of those beautiful fish swimming in and out of the reef. I would absolutely recommend this experience to friends.
This was our second trip aboard Atlantis and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. It is always nice to be able to do something you can't experience at home and living a thousand miles from any ocean submarines are fairly scarce where we live. I always enjoy seeing critters like sharks and sea turtles but any colorful sea life is enjpoyable. On the personal side we were treated with care and respect and at no time did we feel unsafe. Overall a great adventure. Thankyou very much.
Great Show!!! Had a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed the show. Food was good and we had a great time. Dancers and performance was outstanding.
