It was a very enjoyable time in a different space. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity. Perhaps because there were many Japanese participants, there were a lot of performances of songs aimed at Japanese people.

異空間でとても楽しい時間でした。また、機会があれば参加したいと思います。

We reserved a window seat with sparkling wine, and that was a great choice!
The food was also impressive, with a magnificent lobster and tender steak. I was very satisfied!

For the price... 値段の割には…

Reviewed by: MA2016

Every year, I spend New Year's in Hawaii. This year, I decided to spend it on the Star of Honolulu and made a reservation. I chose the most luxurious plan, but when I got there, they packed in too many guests. The view from the front of the second deck was nice, but the amount of food served after 10 PM was overwhelming, and the meat was cold. The service was good, but I could hear the conversations of the people next to me.

The live jazz was great, but the neighboring room on the second deck seemed more casual with its food and had a hula show, which looked like more fun.

About 20 minutes before the countdown, we were guided to a spot where we could see the fireworks easily, but just before it started, there was an announcement in Japanese saying that the view was better from the opposite side. Everyone suddenly started moving to the other side, and when I asked the staff, they said it could be seen from both sides. Since the foreign guests didn't understand the announcement, many stayed put, and in the end, those who didn't move had a great view of the fireworks around Waikiki River and the Rum Fire area.

On the way back, we gathered again for the bus. We waited for about 20 minutes and finally headed home. I feel like it would have been better to watch from Kaka'ako Park.

毎年ハワイで年越ししています。今年はスターオブホノルルで過ごすことにして予約しました。
一番豪華なプランにして、いざ行ってみたら、客を詰め込みすぎ。二階の船の先端で、景色は良いけど食事は22時過ぎから食べきれない量、しかも冷めてるお肉とか。サービスは良いです。席は隣の会話まる聞こえ。
ライブジャズは良かったけど、二階の隣の部屋はリーズナブルな所なのか料理も少しカジュアルで、フラショーなどがあり、そちらの方が楽しそうでした。
カウントダウンの20分前に案内されて花火が見えやすい所を陣取っていたら、直前に日本語で反対から見えます、とアナウンス。一斉に皆反対に行きだし、スタッフに聞いたら反対からも見えますと。外国の方はアナウンスがわからないのでそのままだったりして、結局は移動しない方がワイキキ川、ラムファイヤーのあたりの花火がよく見えました。
帰りはまたバスに集合。20分くらい待ち、ようやく帰路につきました。
カカアコパークから見た方がよかったな、という気がします。

Honolulu Winter Wonderland & Christmas City Lights Double-Decker Bus Tour from Aloha Tower

Okay but not what I was expecting

Reviewed by: Melanie

It was a little hard to find the meeting spot, and the description of the tour didn't match what actually happened. First, I thought we would be on a smaller, old-fashioned trolley. We actually rode on a double-decker tour bus, and the fumes were awful on the lower level. The description of the tour said that we would make 2 circuits around Waikiki to see the lights and made no mention of getting off the bus at any time. But, we actually stopped at the extremely crowded Honolulu City of Lights for 30+ minutes, which I was not expecting.

I ended up spending Christmas in Hawaii, and since I was there, I booked this tour. I mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place and had to explain the situation to the tour company in my limited English. Fortunately, they responded quickly, and everything turned out fine, but I felt sorry for the other tour guests for the inconvenience.

The illumination felt a bit subdued. It might be more extravagant in Japan, but I think it's a nice way to enjoy Christmas in Hawaii.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

An absolutely wonderful time!

Reviewed by: Alison B

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.

The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.

The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

The best sunset on Oahu!

Reviewed by: Lahn Bahn

This sail packs in so much in the perfect amount of time. Not only do you get to sail along the west coast of Oahu, but you get to visit a great snorkel spot, eat your fill of delicious food and guzzle down lots of drinks!

I have done a lot of regular dinner cruises in Hawaii and in other states, but this one is definitely the most unique and you totally get a great bang for your buck. Since you are on the west side, you are literally right there as the sun dips below the horizon, and with a steady stream of drinks and as much food as you can eat, there isn't anything better!!!

The drive is like 40 minutes from Waikiki, but the transportation was comfortable and on-time. Great option if you don't want to drive and definitely a "must do" if everyone in your party is planning on knocking back a few.

Be sure to bring some cash to buy the photos that they take of you. The photographer is fantastic and takes TONS of pictures throughout the cruise, both in and out of the water. They put it on a USB drive for you and that way you don't have to worry about snapping shots and can just focus on having fun ^_^

I made a reservation for the premium seats and attended with my daughter. It seemed that the seats were predetermined, as we were guided to a seat overlooking the diamond bed at the front row of the stage when we handed over the voucher at the reception. We shared a table with a 50-year-old American woman who was attending alone and a large Chinese family, and it was enjoyable to communicate in broken English. The atmosphere of the oceanfront garden at the Royal Hawaiian was fantastic, and the buffet had a wide variety of dishes that were quite delicious. The price is high, but I recommend it for those who want to enjoy the show in an elegant setting.

プレミア席で予約を取り、娘と二人で参加しました。
席はあらかじめ決まっていたようで、レセプションでバウチャーを渡すと舞台最前列のダイヤモンドベッドを臨む席に案内されました。
一人で参加していた50代のアメリカ人女性と中国人の大家族と同じテーブルだったのですが、カタコトの英語で交流をしたのも楽しかったです。
会場のロイヤルハワイアンのオーシャンフロントの庭の雰囲気は最高で、バイキングのお料理も品数が多くそれなりに美味しかったです。

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「アハアイナ」ワイキキ中心！ダイアモンドヘッドを望む絶景オーシャン・フロントでのディナーショー＜ロイヤル・ハワイアン内＞

It was the best luau show. 最高のルアウショーでした。

Reviewed by: らん♪

The main purpose of this trip was to finally see the Royal Hawaiian Luau show, which I had to sadly forgo during my last visit to Hawaii due to not being able to make a reservation.

Among all the luau shows I've seen, this one had the content I wanted to see the most, and the dancing was wonderful. (I personally take hula lessons, so I wanted to see the dancers up close and observe their movements and steps!)

Typically, when comparing the ratio of hula to Tahitian dance in luau shows, there tends to be more Tahitian. However, this show had a higher proportion of hula (both Kahiko and Auana), making it a must-see for hula dancers. The outdoor setting, with Diamond Head and the ocean as the backdrop, was also fantastic.

I would love to go again! However, since the interactions and story are presented in English, a good command of the language is essential...

前回、ハワイに行った際に予約が取れず、泣く泣く断念したロイヤルハワイアンのルアウショーを見に出かけるのが、今回の旅の１番の目的でした。
今まで見てきたルアウショーの中で一番、自分自身が見たかった内容で踊りも素晴らしかったです。（自分自身がフラを習っており、ダンサーの踊る姿やステップを踏む姿が間近で見たかったのです！）

普通、ルアウショーだとフラとタヒチアンの割合を比較するとタヒチアンの方が多いのですが、こちらはフラの割合（カヒコ・アウアナ）が高く、フラダンサーには必見な内容だと思います。
屋外で、かつダイヤモンドヘッドと海を背景なんて、ロケーションも素晴らしかったです。
また見に行きたいと思います！
しかしながら…英語で会場のやり取りやストーリーが展開されるので、語学力が必須かと。。。

A day that I won't ever forget!

Reviewed by: Ms. Kitty

My friends and I were finally able to get together on Oahu, and we knew that we wanted to spend it out on the water. This cruise was the perfect choice since we got to snorkel at TWO spots (both filled with fish, coral, urchins, etc.), sipped on cocktails, devoured plates and plates of food, watched the sunset AND got to see whales! We literally couldn't ask for more!

After leaving the harbor, we headed out to the first snorkel spot and got the first glimpse of whales and after we got out of the water (which was really warm by the way), we saw even MORE whales!

The food was really hearty and filling (pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, a really tasty pasta salad, white rice, veggies and fruit) and the crew kept all of our drinks topped up :)

Really happy that we got to go on this cruise, and can't wait to go again on my next visit!

Reviewed by: Y&T

I participated with my 73-year-old mother.
First of all, I was surprised that we were the only two people on a large bus for an hour's ride from Waikiki (laughs).
It was farther than I had imagined, but the driver pointed out landmarks along the way, like "There’s Pearl Harbor," "Moanalua Gardens, Hitachi," and "Outlet," so we enjoyed it (even though it was in English).

When the tour started, we were the only two Japanese participants, and since the staff were locals, I was a bit worried. However, there was one person who spoke fluent Japanese, and they explained things clearly, so I felt at ease.
We moved to a spot to see dolphins, and we were able to see their cute figures.
After that, we moved to another point and started snorkeling. My elderly mother also got into the water and enjoyed it for a little while.
However, due to the current, it was difficult to return to the boat quickly. My mother, who wasn't used to fins, seemed scared and was peering into the water while holding onto the boat.
Even so, the water was beautiful and clear, and we could see many fish, which was enjoyable.
After snorkeling, we took a warm shower and had meal time.
We savored hamburgers and fruits.
On the way back to the harbor, we were lucky enough to see a whale, which made us very happy.

What I thought after participating in this tour is that it is not particularly aimed at elderly people.
I wouldn't recommend it if there are small children.
Since it’s not a tour specifically for Japanese people (it’s not overly accommodating; you need to take the initiative to enjoy it, like asking questions), I thought there might be some who wouldn’t enjoy it.
But we had plenty of fun.
Thank you very much.

ツアーが始まり、日本人は私達2人だけでスタッフも現地の方なので心配しましたが、
お一人日本語ペラペラの方がいて説明や注意など分かりやすく教えて貰い不安は無かったです。
沖に出てドルフィンを見るスポットに移動して、可愛らしい姿を見ることが出来ました。
その後ポイントを移動しシュノーケル開始。
高齢の母も海に入り、少しの時間ですが楽しんでいました。
ですが、水流の関係か直ぐに流されて船に戻るのが大変でした。
フィンに慣れていない母は怖かったらしく、船に掴まりながら水中を覗いてました。
それでも水が綺麗で透明で魚がたくさん観れて楽しんでいました。
シュノーケル後は暖かいシャワーを浴び、ご飯タイム。
ハンバーガーとフルーツを堪能しました。
ハーバーに戻る途中にラッキーなことに鯨も見ることが出来て嬉しかったです。

今回のツアーに参加して思ったのは、どちらかといえば高齢者向けのツアーでは無いこと。
小さい子供がいたらお勧めはしないこと。
日本人向けのツアー（至れり尽くせりでは無い、楽しむためには自分から動く（質問したりとか）ことが必要）では無いので、
楽しめない人もいるかもなぁと思いました。
